"Auxilisun meets the high demands of your busy day with affordable, renewable energy." "But it wasn't always the power choice for 99% of the world's governing economic bodies." "Auxilisun was born from innovation required after the three-plant meltdown turned the world away from nuclear energy." "Oil barons and green extremists drove energy costs higher and higher, resulting in the energy crisis of 2018." "The world descended into chaos until Auxilisun introduced the tri-fission engine." "An Auxilisun containment facility was constructed over the three-plant disaster site, so the tri-fission engine could clean up the dangerous radiation." "Progress was slow." "But independent scientific studies prove that Auxilisun's miraculous tri-fission engine not only worked, but it also created new energy from the radiation it was cleaning, and thus began the energy revolution of 2025." "No more dirty biofuels, inconsistent wind or expensive solar." "Tri-fission engines clean up old waste while Auxilisun continues to build its next-generation plants across the world." "Today nuclear energy, powers everything you do, and Auxilisun is there to make sure it stays safe, sustainable, and, most importantly, affordable." "Auxilisun..." "Creating a new future by cleaning up the past." "Lights on." "Alarm off." "CSE Dixon, it's the middle of the night." "David, communications are down with both of the field techs..." "It's Christmas Day." "Is this something that can wait until tomorrow?" "Gibson Desert North is the largest nuclear waste repository in the southern hemisphere." "It doesn't take the day off." "Something's wrong." "We don't have anyone available." " I'll go." " What?" "You don't have anyone available." "I'm going out there myself." "Call the transpo." "I'll be ready in ten." "Coming in on the red zone now." "Completely uninhabitable." "You do not wanna lose your fuel out here." "So Auxilisun's sending a tech assistant to a facility this remote." "No chief engineers available?" "I am a chief tech engineer." " How many facilities you engineered?" " None." "I was recently promoted." "My work's been lab-based." "Live view up." "Now, that's what a real-life Auxilisun containment facility looks like." "You don't see that in a lab." "This your first flight schedule too?" "There's nothing in here about a pickup." "We've lost communication to Gibson Desert North." "Once I get them back up, I'll contact Auxilisun HQ for a pickup and request that they don't send you." "System activated." "Decontaminate." "Begin decontamination." "Abby Dixon reporting." "I.D. HEB0511." "Entry 001." "Upon my entry into the facility, no employee response." "The facility itself is in a state of disrepair, possibly deserted." "I will log my entries and upload them as soon as I get the comms back online." "Hello!" "Who are you?" "I'm a technical facility engineer from Auxilisun." "Mm-hmm." "What are you doing here?" "Your communications are down." "I'm here to get you back online." "Some ID?" "Can I see some ID?" "I can't connect to openwork." "Openwork's not worth shit down here." " Do you have a scanner?" " There's a scanner." "There." "On the table." "Yeah." "Mm-hmm." " Happy?" " Mm-hmm." "My name's Dixon." "Abby Dixon." "How'd you get here?" "I was just dropped off by a company tri-copter." "Just you?" "Yeah." " Just you." " Just me." "Mm-hmm." "I'll be here long enough to get you back online." "Which one are you?" "Zek or Robinson." "Robinson." "I'm Robinson." "Yeah." "You almost gave me a heart attack." "Making noises in the corridor." "They don't teach you how to knock at Auxilisun HQ?" "Where's Dr. Zek?" "He's out." "What do you mean "out"?" "Where?" "Does surveys." "In the desert." "I don't know." "It's not my job." "Well, when will he be back?" "He didn't say." "Took the buggy." "What is that?" "It's nothing." "I got it under control." "What do you mean it's nothing?" "It's..." "It's obviously something." "It's not." "What are you talking about?" "Right here it says, "Error code 8627B."" "What does that mean?" "What's the procedure?" "Mm-hmm." "The procedure is you need to chill out." "Okay, this is not a joke." "This is a sophisticated facility, and I'm here to assess the communication breakdown, and this could potentially be a communication..." "I pulled that lever." "Did you see me pull that lever?" "It resets the system." "Yeah." "It makes all these red lights go green." "I told you I had it under control." "Hmm?" "Will you at least show me to my room?" "Mm." "I wasn't..." "Expecting guests." "I'm sure you'll love your accommodations." "All right." "General..." "Common area." "Um, kitchen, obviously." "And up those stairs is the sunroom." "Doesn't look like it gets much use." "No." "Um, not really the tanning type." "Right." "But that's not the point." " The sunrooms were designed..." " To provide a certain amount of UV, to keep your mind in the right..." "My mental health is fine, thank you." " Is this sick bay?" " Yeah." "Your own doctor as well." "It's kind of fun." "So... this..." "Yeah, that's you." "Guest quarters." "It's not much, but you know..." "Maid comes at 10:00 a.m. for a fluff and fold." "Merry Christmas." "Robinson?" "Robinson?" "Robinson." "Oh." "Hello." "Wow." "I didn't realize this was gonna be a formal occasion." "I would've shaved my face." "What's that?" "In case I need to reach you in the facility." "Aw, you don't need that." "You're never too far away." "So this is what you came here to see, huh?" "What's wrong with it?" "Ah, I very much enjoyed our conversation." "I was feeling a little lonely before you turned up." "You are just a breath of fresh air." "I'm not here to talk." "I'm here to fix your facility." "Yes." "What's that?" "Universal comm unit." "The nerve center for our whole communication array." "How do you not know this?" "The thing's a dinosaur." "Like everything else around here." "Gibson Desert North is not a dinosaur." "It's the prototype that our entire company is hinged on." "And our proudest achievement." "Oh." "Well, then that's just a little bit sad." "So?" "Sorry." "Can you fix it?" "There's no power." "I have batteries." "I'm gonna have to run a diagnostics scan on the entire facility to see where the breakdown in the system is." "Diagnostics scan, huh?" "Yeah." "Yeesh." "Would you mind showing me to the machine room?" "Sure." "Now." "Don't touch the guitar, please." "What facility do you work at?" "I don't work at any one particular facility." "I'm based at HQ." "Oh." "So you don't know anything about SDP then." "Sensory deprivation psychosis." "I came up with that." "What is it?" "Well, you know, you spend too much on your own in a place like this." "No windows..." "You go a little..." "You go a little psycho, you know." "I mean..." "That's why we give psychological profiles to all of our employees" " before they get the job." " Yeah." "Well, it's not that simple." "When did you say Dr. Zek is gonna be back?" "I didn't." "Well, you have to know something about his schedule." "No." "I mean, you know, he works in a completely different part of the compound, behind a locked door." "He's the one with the Ph.D., remember." "I stay out of his way, take out the trash." "And he just goes out every now and again?" "Look, I'm not the boss." "He is." "I'm not his mum." "That's not what I'm suggesting." "I'm just..." "We're almost here." "It's through here to his lab?" "Yeah, yeah." "It's down the end of this corridor." "Get a chance to, uh, see Dr. Zek's crazy scientific experiments up close." "I've read his reports." "There's nothing in Dr. Zek's work that is outside of company parameters." "Oh, yeah?" "Why does he do it all behind a locked door?" "Never lets me in." "You're obviously creating some kind of fantasy." "Is this the isolation psychosis you're talking about?" "No." "Well, maybe." "Take a look at his lab." "It'll bore you to death." "Just don't touch anything." "Oh." "Wow!" "That... is something." "Is this where they keep all the shit?" "The shit?" "Nuclear shit." "No." "The waste is kept in Deep Burial, behind those doors." "You think this place is impressive?" "Deep Burial is ten times the size." "What's this then?" "The cooling system." "Maglev fan built to last 200,000 years." "But that's nothing compared to this." "This is the real secret to Auxilisun's success." "The tri-fission engine." "It takes the energy from the radioactive decay in Deep Burial and powers the fans." "I should have access." "This fan breaks down, guess who has to fix it." "That's impossible." "If both fans stopped, then this place would fill up with gas so fast, it would be like a stick of nuclear dynamite." "And never in the history of Auxilisun has even one fan broken down." "It's a brilliant design." "How come the only access through it is through this doggy door?" "Robotics are the only thing that can fix a tri-fission engine." "Even in a hazmat suit, there's so much radiation, you'd be dead in 48 hours." "You should know that." "Where's the other fan?" "Down in Deep Burial." "We're in the part of the facility that needs "golden ticket" access to enter." " Just looking." " Okay." "You need level-14 access to get down into Deep Burial sites." "Oh." "What are you, level 18 or something?" "When they zap us with the scanners, we just get the basic package." "You know." "Office, bedroom." " Shitters." " Did you fix the comms?" "No." "All the fuses and the cabling are all intact, so the problem must be somewhere between here and there." "Hmm." "You're gonna show me Deep Burial?" "No." "No one goes down into Deep Burial." "Dr. Zek." "He goes into Deep Burial." "You're mistaken." "I hear him down there all the time." "Every time he opens that door, it rumbles the whole facility." "You're wrong." "You think I'm making this up?" "No." "I think you're confused." "Dr. Zek doesn't even have fingertip access to Deep Burial." "You sure about that?" "Robinson?" "Jesus!" "Robinson!" "Robinson!" "What?" "Wha..." " What?" " Are you okay?" " You're hitting me." " I'm sorry." " I just fell." " What happened?" "Just a long day, you know?" "I need some sleep maybe." "Do you generally pass out when you're tired?" "Well, I didn't really pass out." "I just had a moment of..." "What are you doing?" "I'm fine." "When was the last time you requested a medical exam?" "I don't need a medical exam." "Abby Dixon." "Entry 002." "I arrived this morning to find Dr. Darius Zek, the chief scientific executive, absent, surveying the surrounding area." "But that is unconfirmed." "The facility's caretaker, Robinson Scott, was uncooperative." "The comms are still down, but my preliminary tests as to why were inconclusive." "I've never seen an Auxilisun facility like this." "It's... neglected." "And Robinson Scott..." "I don't know who hired him, but..." "Sor..." "Sorry." " Oi." " Hmm." "Dodgy lock in there." "Sorry about that." "Can you fix it?" "Well, there's no point, is there, really." "Not gonna make the same mistake twice." "I'm just not used to having guests." "You carry that thing everywhere, huh?" "I heard you talking on it last night." "The walls are quite thin." "Well, I gather information, report back to Auxilisun." "It's my job." "It's protocol." "Is Dr. Zek back?" "No." "Is it normal for him to be gone overnight like that?" "Sure." "Macchiato." "Oh." "No, not for me." "That is the world's greatest macchiato." "You got to try it." "It's hot." " Sugar?" " Uh, no." "I'm okay." "Leave her there." "Make me one." "I wanna do a medical diagnostic test on you." "Medical..." "Last night..." " No, that thing last night was fine." " Uh, no." "You can have serious health problems." "Here." "That's very sweet, but I am fine." "Now I'm fine." "When I was younger, I had a thing." "My kidneys." "Gone now." "I'm fine." "Was it from drinking?" "It was cassies mainly." "Some drinking." "I have a sister, Margot." "She was..." "She's... your age." "She sobered me up." "Took care of me." "Got me better." "Got me off it." "Everyone else left me behind." "She saw me right." "I'm fine." "I'm fine." "It's gone." "Don't drink the water." "It's not good." "It's excellent." "You're crazy." "Do you not want yours?" "It's all yours." "Two cups of coffee for me." "Watch out." "Cheers." "I was cleaning out this old guy's place, right?" "This was something that we used to do when they got kicked out of their places." "And it was something that I could kind of do, when I was a little high and stuff, you know." "Easy kind of job to do." "So cleaning out this guy's place, throwing away his clothes and furniture and things he's not gonna need." "And then I see at one point he's got a bunch of CD's." " So I'm thinking, "Oh, that's cool."" " Bunch of what?" "He has a bunch of CD's." "Um, compound discs." "Uh, compact discs." "You know, the little music." " Little silver disc things." " Oh." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Like old turn-of-the-century music." "And he's got some stuff that I kind of recognize." "Like Oasis." "Remember?" "Shed Seven." "Um..." "East 17." "So I'm thinking while I'm cleaning this house out, I'm gonna play some music." "I'm looking through his music." ""I'm gonna pick that." "I'm gonna pick that." And this bag falls out." "So I'm thinking, "Oh, well, you know, he's kind of hiding that bag."" "In this little zip bag." "So what's inside here?" "I don't really know that much about turn-of-the-century music." "Do know a little bit about retro kind of drugs and stuff." "So I look inside and there's this... this crystal, this rock, you know." "Like, "Hello!" "Yes." "Know what that is." "Crack cocaine."" "So run around the house." "Run around the house." "Like, make sure I'm kind of safe doing it." "Like, I need, like, a lighter and a little bit of aluminum foil and a little glass pipe type thing." "Get that all going." "You know, I'll do it." "Put it all in and break off a little bit of crack." "Put it in the pipe thing and then..." "Kind of fire it up." "Wait." "Nothing." "Now, you're talking about maybe, like, two, three minutes or so." "You should be off." "You should be, like, away, doing it." "Nothing." "So I think, "Well, maybe it's like weak crack or something."" "So break off a little more, put it in the thing." "Get the lighter..." "Kind of fire it up." "Nothing." "I end up smoking the whole piece of crack." "That's a lot of crack." "That is a lot of crack." "Nothing." "Like, 20, 25 minutes in, man, I get pounded by this, like, headache." "Just like my head gets filled with cement or something like that." "Kind of feel a little sick." "The next thing I know, I pass out on someone else's, like, floor." "It's not even my house." "I'm out, like this." "And the next thing I know, the owner of the house, this old geezer, the guy whose house we're clearing out, like, wakes me up." "So I get roused and, you know, I look around." "I'm trying to save face a little bit, but he sees..." "He totally sees what I'm doing." "He can see all the stuff." "You know what he says?" ""My grandma brought that back in 1991, you just smoked a piece of the Berlin Wall."" "Oh, man." "Is that..." "Like smoking history or something." "Went to hospital..." "I was in hospital for two days, on my own." "And then, you know, ended up my sister came." "Kind of gave me a little bit of a talking to." ""Clean up your life." "You need to make some changes" kind of thing." "It's actually what brought me here." "She kind of..." "She and I agreed to come out here, you know." "What about you?" "Me?" "Yeah, you know, family." "People you talk to, friends." "No." "No." "No family." "No family?" "You an orphan, raised by Auxilisun?" "No." "I mean, uh, I have a dad." "But... technically, I don't talk to him." "What is this?" "I was just trying to make a friend." "Okay, so... holidays roll around, you know, your birthday." "What do you..." "Do you go for lunch on your own?" "Play solitaire?" "Just nap all day?" "I have friends." " You do?" " Yeah." "I'm skeptical." " Name them." "Name your friends." " Tesla and Jobs." " What type of names are those?" " That's..." "Come on." " They're my dogs." "They..." " They're your dogs' names?" "Come on." "What do you have?" "Like little "wee wee wee wee"..." "little yappy tiny little things that fits in a little..." "like a little bag of sugar?" "This is not adding up." "The becquerel levels are higher than they should be." "I think your calibrations are off." "Hmm." "Well, maybe someone's been in Deep Burial." "Hmm." " What?" " No single person, no one, not even someone like Dr. Zek, could create a spike like this." "I mean, it's got to be your gear." "It's not calibrated." "I'll leave you to it." "You'll work it out." "Dr. Zek is still missing." "I'm worried about his safety." "And there's... a problem." "According to this data, the red zone is expanding, which I know is not possible." "It must be just a misreading with the gear." "Robinson is not as skilled as I would expect." "I will recalibrate the meters myself." " What are you looking at?" " Jesus!" "Oh." "Sorry." "I was gonna go on the roof, hit some balls." "I thought I saw a man in the desert." "Okay." "May I?" "Sure." "Hmm." "I don't see anything." "What if it's Zek?" "What if..." "What if he's out there and he's hurt and he needs our help?" "I don't think Zek's coming back." "He's been gone four days." "No." "You said he left yesterday." "I didn't say that." "What are you not telling me?" "He kind of lost it." "Sensory deprivation psychosis." "Big time." "I don't know if it was the isolation or the tests he was running." "Maybe he was exposed to radiation in Deep Burial." "But, you know, he's went a little..." "And then the last night before..." "You know, I'm gonna go hit some balls on the roof." "No." "No, listen." "The power lines were intentionally severed." "He cut them?" "Tell me what happened." "You know, most of the time, just ignore him." "I stay in the control room." "He does what he wants." "Fine." "And then before he left, he just..." "Screaming." "Just screaming down that corridor." "It was getting louder and louder, at me." ""You did it." "You did it." "You broke..." "You damaged it." "You broke the fan." "You broke the fan."" "He's pointing at me and accusing me and shouting." "He's a scary guy." "And I ran." "I ran and I hid." "And I heard the doors go, up top." "He took the buggy." "I don't..." "I mean..." "I don't know how he'd survive out there." "I mean, I'm telling you, I saw something." "Yeah, well, you know, that... that could be... this place." "It's the walls." "Ground." "The air..." "Gets in you." "Hmm." "How have you been sleeping?" "You've been dreaming?" "Have you been dreaming?" "Hmm." "Hmm." "You can spend as much time as you want in that sunroom." "But it gets inside your mind." "I'm gonna go play golf." "Robinson?" "Robinson." "Robinson, it... it's Zek." "Can you hear..." "Can you hear me?" "Open the door!" "I'm not sure I should override the system." "We're both gonna die if you don't open this door right now!" "We don't know his state of radiation exposure." "We don't have time to discuss this." "Help me move him." "Go inside." "I got him." "I think this is a mistake, Abby." "Go inside." "Go!" "Go!" "What the hell was that?" "I'm just following contamination policy." "It's Dr. Zek." "You don't know it's Dr. Zek." "You don't." "Who else could it be?" "We're in the red zone, 300 kilometers from the nearest town." "Well?" "Yeah, it's Dr. Zek." " How is he?" " His pulse is even." "Is it?" "He was pretty exposed out there." "What's that?" "Hexomorphone." "It should help combat the symptoms of radiation poisoning." "Hmm." "Didn't get very far, did he?" "I don't know." "Maybe he came back." "What happened to you?" "What is that?" " Precaution." " He's dangerous, isn't he?" "He's in a coma." "Well, you wake up from a coma." " Okay." " You need some help?" "Why don't you just go back to the control room." "It's good, you know." "He's back." "That's the important thing." "Wha..." "You were screaming." "I was concerned." "It was just a nightmare." "About your dad?" "You said his name." "It's this place." "I'm fine." "Could've fooled me." "My dad euthanized my grandmother when I was seven." "Fan's not working." "Look, look!" "N-No, that's impossible." "Just reset the console." "All of your readings have been off." "I'm sure that's it." "Whew." "Okay." "That helped, but look." "It's still..." "It's not movin'." "Okay." "I'm gonna check it out." "You just... stay here." "Okay." "What happened?" "Did you go back in there?" "Huh?" "What?" "The fan." "I can't." "I don't have access." "Remember?" "What are you accusing me of?" "I'm sorry." "It..." "It's not possible, unless somebody sabotaged the engine room." "It just... it can't... it can't happen." "I need to get the comms back up." "Get back in touch with HQ." "This is beyond me now." "Okay, how serious is it?" "Do we need to evacuate?" "No." "As long as the other fan is up, it'll take days before the gases build up to a dangerous level." "Zek." "We are experiencing unprecedented shutdown of the machine and fan." "Requesting immediate emergency facility repair team." "Reason for the shutdown is unknown." "A fan is down." "How does that make sense?" "With Auxilisun systems, a fan cannot go down unless..." "Someone sabotaged it." "Signing off." "I don't like him being here." "He's handcuffed." "You don't know him like I do." "Look, why don't you let me watch him for a while." "No, I got it." "You've got a job to do." "It's under control." "You can't just stand here all night watching him." "I got this." "He wakes up... he moves... call me." " Wha..." " It's..." "It's okay." " What?" " It's okay." "What is this..." "What is this place?" "Where am I?" "You're at Auxilisun Gibson Desert North." " Gibson Desert North?" " Robinson." "He's awake." "Robinson." "Robinson?" "Oh." "Okay." " Okay?" " Thank God." "Wha..." "What?" "Why am I..." "I'm Abby Dixon." "I'm the facilities engineer from Auxilisun." "I was flown in." "What happened to me?" "Just relax, and, uh, we'll get you up to speed." " Uh..." " Dr. Sale told me to say hello." "Dr. Jeffrey Sale?" "Three years in his class, and then I was his intern." "He got me my first job interview at Auxilisun." "He told me to tell you hi." "Oh." "We haven't talked since I came here." "Jeffrey and I got our master's together." "I was in his wedding party." "Yeah." "He's got some very nice things to say about you." "He made 'em up then." "Well, he says that you are the most brilliant nuclear containment scientist that he's ever had the pleasure to meet." "Here." "Hello." "Thank you, Robinson." "You're welcome." "How do you feel?" "What's this for?" "Do you not remember what happened with the night that you left?" "I can't recall." " You went a little crazy." " You had a nervous breakdown." "So that is, unfortunately, the reason why you're in handcuffs." "For our safety, but primarily for your safety." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "I'm not feeling well." "I'm gonna lie down." "Yeah, right." "Relax." "Do you have a, um, personal hygiene kit?" "I just think... it'd make Dr. Zek feel a lot better to not have a week's worth of desert filth all over him." " You want me to go get it?" " I'll be fine." "Two minutes." "Dr. Zek?" "Is there something you're not telling me?" "Come here." "I have to know that I can trust you." "Well, of course you can trust me." "Dr. Jeffrey Sale's son, tell me about him." "He's in his... 20s." "He just got married." "I haven't actually met him in person, but..." "Tell me the truth about Jeffrey Sale's son, now." "He's not Dr. Sale's real son." "His wife was pregnant when he met her, but I'm not supposed to tell anyone that." " Nobody knows that." " I know." "I know." "Except people worth trusting." "Okay." "That man isn't Robinson Scott." "What?" "Dr. Zek, you acted like you knew him." "Well, I had to." "I'm handcuffed here." "The only reason he's not killing me is because you think that he's Robinson Scott." "Okay, look." "The other night, I was in my lab, alone." "I was working." "And then suddenly, there was a breach." "And Robinson..." "the real Robinson Scott, he went out to check it out, and he was obviously overpowered by this guy." "And then this man, he found me." "I left Robinson." "So if this isn't..." "Robinson Scott, then how did this person get here?" "We're in the middle of the red zone." "I have no idea." "He must have been dropped in." "I'm not sure." "I don't know." "Do you know anything about what he wants?" "We need to get out of here." "We don't have much time." "So when's your next scheduled pickup?" "I told them that I'd contact them." "Shit." "Are the comms still down?" "Yes, but the antenna on your buggy." "I can hot-wire it, use the universal comm hub to get a signal." "Good." "Then you send out a Code 7 distress call, but you can't let him know that you sent it." "As long as he believes that you don't know the truth, we'll be okay." "We will." "And why wouldn't he just kill us?" "And he hasn't tried to kill you yet?" "He needs you for something." "I'm setting up my two-way tuned into my frequency." "So while I'm gone, if he comes back," "I'll hear everything that happens." "Good." "Thanks." "Abby." "Yeah." "We can do this." "Abby, he's here." "He's coming." "Okay." "Here we go." "Where?" "Where?" "We have a problem." "Robinson is not Robinson." "Somebody broke into the facility." "That's why Dr. Zek attempted to escape." "We need help immediately." "So lie back." "Just lay your head back." "There." "Must feel nice." "Get that desert grime off you." "If you just put your hand down." "Gotta keep you handcuffed for your own safety, Dr. Zek." "I know." "These razors are incredibly sharp." "Try and think that you're in one of those old movies... in a barbershop." "Where's Abby?" "She went to my office, to my lab, to get my tablet." "Just gonna..." "Yeah, that looks like it's gonna work just fine." "Ah, yeah." "Okay." "I'm actually gonna have to just lean you back a little further." "Just can't quite reach those..." " Oh, no." " Difficult areas." "You-You don't have to do my neck." "Relax." "Just relax." " Robinson?" " Just finishing up here." "Much better." "Done." "You do look much better." "Here." "You forgot my tablet." "Your lab was such a mess, I couldn't find it." "You'll have to give me better directions." "Oh." "Yeah, of course." "Dr. Zek, you've had quite a day." "I know." "Think you could maybe use a little rest?" " Hmm?" "No, no, no." " I'll give you this to relax." "I don't..." " Put him down, Robinson." " Okay." "Just keep an eye on him." "He was extremely nervous." "Well done for knocking him out like that." "I just thought we would both sleep a little easier knowing that he was drugged asleep." "Yeah." "He doesn't seem to remember anything." "You believe him?" "Does he seem dangerous to you?" "Well..." "Things aren't always what they seem." "Hmm?" " Shh." " What's happening?" " I had to inject you to wake you up." " Where's the guy?" "He's sleeping." "We gotta get out of here." "Look away." " Did you send the signal?" " Not yet." "That's where we're headed." "We have to get out of here." "It's gonna take 40 minutes for them to get here." " We'll wait outside." "Okay." " Okay, let's go." "Too late." "What are you doing, Abby?" "You're not Robinson Scott." "What are you talking about?" " Dr. Zek..." " Stay still!" " Dr. Zek told me..." " Abby." "Abby." "The doctor, eh?" "You trust the good doctor?" "Is that how it works?" "You tell the truth." "You tell her the truth right now!" "What's he talking about?" "The ravings of a madman." "You tell her about Gibson Desert North." "About Auxilisun's crown jewel, now!" " What?" " Tell her." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "And you're willing to bet our lives on that, are you?" "Um, yeah." "Ow!" "Aaah!" "Aaah!" " Let me see." " Am I bleeding?" "Looks like the laser cauterized the wound." "Come here." "Aaah!" "To the bed." "Here." "What did he say about me?" "Don't touch it." "He told me you were some kind of terrorist that broke in here and killed the real Robinson." "You believed him?" "Dr. Zek is a respected member of the scientific community." " What was I supposed to think?" " Dr. Zek is a lunatic." "How am I gonna get across the red zone?" "How am I gonna get across the size of that desert?" "I'd have radiation poisoning by the time I got here." "He destroyed the door mechanism." "We're locked in here." " He's gonna escape without us." " No, no, no, no, no, no, no." "He's not escaping." "He's going to Deep Burial." "Bastard." "Just..." "Hmm." "What did you mean?" "When you said that..." "That this whole place was a lie." " It hurts." " What did you mean?" "This place is supposed to be a secure nuclear storage facility." "He's turned it into a bomb." "Thanks." "Abby, I don't..." "I don't know what we do now." " How do we get to him?" " He's in Deep Burial." "I have access." " You do?" " Yeah." "That's great." "Hang on." "Okay." "I'm gonna rewire the door, so the mechanism works from this side." "You can do that?" "Nice." "Watch out." "We need to find him." "I can trace his location on my tablet." "No time for that!" "No time!" "Fuck." " Drop the club." " Okay, okay." " Who are you?" " Okay, okay." "You're the one with radiation sickness." " You walked across the red zone?" " Shut up!" " Who are you?" "Please." " Shut up." " Who are you?" " Shut up!" "Nothing can stop me from doing what I came here to do!" "Aaah!" "Aaah!" "What are you doing?" "Gibson Desert North has been decaying at an unpredictable rate for years, and you knew it!" "You know that Auxilisun system's fail-safe." "There's no way..." "What about Barrow Creek?" "All of the closest inhabitable cities are supposed to be well within the green zone." "So unless Barrow Creek... the entire town... got up and moved, the red zone is expanding." "Yes." "When were you gonna tell Auxilisun?" "Auxilisun already knows." "What?" "Dr. Sale and I know the truth." " The truth?" " Yeah." "The truth that you're killing people?" "The truth is that the energy we give the world is more important than some piece-of-shit small town..." "But no, people di..." "in the middle of nowhere!" "His..." "That man's family." "How many have lived?" "Do you know how many hospitals, cities, homes use our energy?" "There were 230 assholes in Barrow Creek!" "Shut up!" "Aaah!" "Shut up, okay?" "You can find your own way out." "Abby." "So you were the one that was ruining the fans." "You walked across the red zone by yourself?" "How long have you been dying?" "Not sure." "We all got sick at the same time." "I just lasted longer than Margot," "and Sammy." "This won't bring them back." "I know what it's like to lose your family." "Then you know why I have to do this." "No." "You're just gonna kill more people." "I can't let you..." " Don't follow me, Abby." " Stop." "Stay back!" "Stop!" "No!" "Stay back, Abby!" "Stop." "Auxilisun, they took everything from me." "If you destroy this place, you're no better than they are." "And you are?" " No." " The world needs a tragedy, to see what's been happening here." "I'll kill you before I let that happen." "No, you won't." "If we can get out of here," "I have all the information on my ADATA." "You and I, we can blow the whistle." "We can let everybody know." "No, Abby." "They'll shut you down, Abby!" "This thing's bigger than you!" "The whole world, Abby!" "They're being lied to!" "Is this what Margot and Sammy would have wanted?" "Not sure." "I don't know." "Maybe I'll get a chance to ask 'em." "No!" "This is CTE Abby Dixon to Auxilisun tri-copter." "Rhine, do you read me?"
