"You were right." "Earth won't make it." "The last ones have left earth to join us, but there is no more room here." "Epidemics are spreading ever faster." "I'm not able to keep up." "The people are dying in my arms." "I applied as a doctor on a cargo ship." "4 years there and 4 years back." "I'll spend most of the time in hibernation." "This single flight... and I'll have enough money to... go to Rhea." "Then we'll finally be together again." "Did you hear my dear sister?" "I have to go." "I want to go to Rhea to see you and the kids again." "Dr. Laura Portmann?" "Anna Lindbergh, first officer." "Welcome aboard." "Everybody listen." "Miyuki Yoshida, system administrator." "This loudmouth here is Vespucci." "Prokoff isn't as talkative, thank God." "Dr. Portmann." "Station 42 will be upgraded to a transport hub." "It's in the Orth Cloud, halfway to Proxima... and is in a stable orbit around RH278." "The autopilot is activated." "Because of all the recent terror attacks... the transitional government has ordered... that there be a sky marshal on every ship." "Damn narks." "It is said, that the "Maschinen Stuermer" are... preparing for major sabotage acts." "This ship is so decrepit already, no one would sabotage anything." "Lt. Samuel Decker." "Space Security Agency." "We will seal the cargo hold in 30 minutes." "If you want to get to know each other, now's your chance." "At 0200 the engines will start." "At 0230 we will meet at the cryo-chambers." "I hope you have a good stay." "According to resolution 278 of the RBS... there will be sky marshals even on cargo flights from now on." "Just accept me as a part of the crew." ""This is an information broadcast of the TSA."" ""The threat of terror attacks has never been greater since The Collapse."" ""Klaus Bruckner is still at large after the terror attack."" ""This man is responsible for the earlier bombings..." ""on stations 20, 23 and 24."" ""While he is claiming responsibility for the current attacks..."" ""he keeps on propagating the messages of the "Maschinen Stuermer"."" ""We are living in machines."" ""What are we producing?" "Machines."" ""Our enemy is the TSA."" ""There will be no peace as long as technology is ruling us."" ""Down with the machines!"" ""Down with the stations!"" ""Because of the latest incidents, the TSA has decided..."" ""so as to ensure the safety of the ship and crew..."" ""that every flight be supervised by a security officer."" ""Support the sky marshal on his duty and..."" "Listen everybody, this will be the order of shifts." "Each shift lasts 8 and a half months." "I'll take the first." "Then Lindbergh..." "Yoshida..." "Vespucci..." "Prokoff..." "Portmann." "At the end of unloading, Lindbergh again." "And if someone has any problems... he can knock on Decker's tank." ""Dear Laura,"" ""I'm sending you some sunshine from Rhea."" ""I haven't held you in my arms for such a long time..."" ""It's not good that you are doing cargo flights."" ""We are worried."" ""People are telling each other that the "Maschinen Stuermer"" ""are becoming more and more aggressive."" ""But what do you expect us to believe from information that's 4 years old?"" ""I don't even want to think about what could have happened in the meantime."" ""I really hope that you are doing well."" ""Please stay in touch."" ""See you soon."" ""I miss you."" "Initiation of day phase" "Day phase commencing" "Beginning of night phase." "Please adopt rest position." "Dear Arianne," "I miss you too." "It is so unbelievably cold in here, you couldn't imagine." "I'll show you a few images, so you can picture this junk ship." "Well..." "Just 2 months left 'til the end of my shift." "We are 4 light years away from Earth." "And are transporting materials to build a station, so that one day, we will be able to fly to Proxima." "It isn't clear if there are any inhabitable planets." "I really want to be with you." "Please don't worry," "I'm doing fine." "See you soon." "Beginning of night phase." "Please adopt rest position." "What are you doing here?" "Someone opened the cargo hold." "I was automatically woken up." "Why did you open up the door?" "You know that it is strictly forbidden to enter the cargo hold." "Something is inside the cargo hold." "That's impossible." "Something is behind the door." "We have to wake the crew." "No, the hibernation phases must be kept intact." "But why don't you show it to me?" "The rules say that under exceptional circumstances... we have to wake up the captain." "It seems as if Dr. Portmann isn't able to handle loneliness very well." "I'm sorry that we've awakened you." "Let's just hope that you are sure." "The cold suits have been thrown around because of the high pressure." "The bulkhead was opened several times during your shift." "I hope for your sake that this was just a technical problem." "Come on, then." "The cargo hold is split up into 9 sectors." "You take A to C." "You take D to F." "And I'll take the rest." "Shouldn't we stay together?" "I don't want to stay overnight." "We'll stay in radio contact..." "The containers are all locked." "That is as it should be." "You should know that Decker." "Haven't found anything suspicious yet..." "Except that we are not fully loaded." "Answer." "Me either." "Roger." "Keep searching." "Over." "Lacroix, here Laura." "Lacroix!" "Fuck!" "Decker?" "Decker!" ""What happened?" I think Lacroix has fallen down." ""What?" "Where are you?"" "In sector E4-20." "I'm going down to sector G." ""I'm coming!"" "Lacroix!" "Do you hear me?" "Lacroix, do you hear me?" "Is he still alive?" "We must get him out of the cold now!" "The door!" "According to the regulations, I'll be in command of the ship." "Prokoff, Vespucci, fix the door." "The cargo hold must be sealed as soon as possible." "Yoshida, you'll verify all entries in the main computer... and check for suspicious activities." "And you will examine Lacroix's body." "I want an exact cause of death." "Start recording." "Multiple spine fracture." "Cranio-cerebral injury." "Apparently caused by a fall from a great height." "Time of death: a few minutes after impact." "I thought that we were just transporting construction materials." "So did I." "What's wrong with the door?" "It's buggered, jammed, and the gears are buggered too." "It must have been here." "Sealed." "I have Lacroix's I.D. card." "A child." "It's a child!" "Most of the containers are full of people." ""Vespucci, Prokoff."" "Yes?" ""Please come to sector F7-21."" "Why the devil are we transporting people to Station 42?" "Fuck!" "That's really..." "Shit!" "Run!" "Go go go!" "Laura!" "Laura!" "What's going on here?" "The containers are full of people." "The cargo is the shipping companies' business." "Lacroix was murdered." "Lacroix opened the door and the high pressure... in the container pushed him over the edge." "Someone set the containers in motion and we got almost killed." "The containers move automatically, to prevent freezing." "That's the reason why it's forbidden to go into the cargo hold." "There is somebody on board the ship." "He killed Lacroix and almost got us too." "Did you know that there are people in the containers?" "This tank will be returned immediately." "This is a person!" "As a doctor, I am responsible for the people on board." "And I will examine this girl now." "I agree." "And furthermore I am authorized to investigate the incident." "The containers with the tanks may have something to do with Lacroix's death." "Then do your duty." "But you can be sure that I will report this incident." "Inspecting tank." "Starting record." "No usable scans from the abdomen retrievable." "Switching to high frequency." "HF scans in the head area possible." "The girl shows weak brain activity," "A result of the hibernation coma." "Stopping record." "Did you find anything?" "It will take some time to get precise results." "May I help?" "Yes, maybe." "The tank is blocking the scanner and it's secured with an electronic lock." "Have you found anything?" "I need anything you can find on Decker." "Something is wrong with him." "He should be on our side." "And?" " Because of an asymmetric RSA encryption" "It could take some time." "What do you know about Station 42?" "An uninhabited station." "It is being upgraded to a transport hub for ships heading to Proxima." "And unofficially?" "Why did you enlist for this mission?" "I need money, that's it." "You want to go to Rhea." "Yes." "Why?" "My sister lives on Rhea." "She gained her visa for Rhea 7 years ago." "She is living our dream." "Probably the automatic sorting again." "And if there is really something on board?" "Fuck it." "Let's just try to fix this mess ASAP." "Starting record." "The girl's brain is woven through with inorganic tissue." "Entry of the tissue into the body..." "Cervical C4, neck vertebra." "Looks like something growing in" "Or inserted." "A VR connector." "Apparently a demanding one." "I've never seen anything like this." "We could connect her to an external system." "That's too dangerous." "That could lead to irreparable neural damage." "That's the only way to get more information about the connector." "Under no circumstances." "I will not risk the child's life." "Very well." "For now, better keep the results of the examination just between us." "Ok?" "Hello Hanna." "So much stuff is going on here... that I could tell you." "Why are we that far away from each other?" "And it takes ages for messages to arrive." "I just don't understand what's happening on board anymore." "We found a girl in the cargo hold." "I'm trying to help her." "We'll see each other soon." "And then I'll tell you everything." "I was so delighted to receive your message!" "It's so good to hear your voice and know that you are alive." "You found a girl?" "I don't get it." "I would like to talk to you in person." "Why is it taking so long for our messages to arrive?" "Laura, listen." "We don't want you to do any more cargo flights." "Come directly to Rhea." "You could stay with us for a while." "We will prepare a room for you and..." "I'm looking forward to seeing you." "You'll be with us soon." "I don't get what's happening here." "How is it possible that my sister answered this fast?" "Why do you know about neuronal ports?" "Why shouldn't I tell anybody about the examination?" "What do you know about the people in the tanks?" "Who the hell are you?" "First officer Lindbergh here." "Everybody report to the bridge ASAP." "Yoshida has compared all log entries to those in backup." "She has discovered that a crew member has manipulated the log files of the cryo-chambers." "Why didn't you tell us that you have been awakened on a regular basis?" "It's part of my duties to check the ship periodically." "So you are not denying that you left the cryo-chambers without our knowledge?" "No, that is correct." "Where were you when Lacroix died?" "I knew it!" "Come clean!" "I was in sector F5-17." "And you can't demand an account for the work I am doing for RBS." "Arrest him." "Put your weapon away!" "I have immunity." "You know that." "Not if you are suspected of murder." "Put your weapon away!" "I might have believed you if you hadn't resisted." "Vespucci, how much more time do you need with the cargo door?" "48 hours." "Dr. Portmann, return that tank to the cargo hold ASAP." "That's impossible." "I gave the patient a drug that reduces muscle contractions." "She is not stable." "She can't be returned." "I'm not interested!" "I want that tank returned before the door is closed." "This is an order!" "Have I made myself clear?" "Get him to the cryo-chambers." "He must go to the medical station first." "I must treat his wounds or the blood will contaminate the cooling fluid." "You do that well." "Did you receive another message from your sister?" "Vespucci, medical station please." "Laura!" "Laura wait!" "We are not flying to Station 42." "Where are we heading then?" "To Rhea." "Could you do me a favour?" "Would you please take a look if we are really heading for Station 42?" "And?" "I was on the bridge and locked into the system." "The target coordinates of our flight are well protected, but..." "I can tell you for certain that we are not heading for Station 42." "And it's also definite that... nobody would've been able to change the coordinates during the journey." "Because you can only set them before the departure." "I'm trying to figure out where else we might fly into." "But that means that Decker never able to change the coordinates." "How long does it take a message to arrive at Rhea?" "Most likely an eternity." "As always." "Several years?" "My sister answered me within 20 minutes." "If that's true, then Lindbergh has lied to us." "Only she has the login for the target coordinates." "Decker told me that we are flying to Rhea." "Hey hey hey, look who's here!" "The door has been fixed." "And that's why Prokoff and I are throwing a little party in the squad rooms." "I don't have any time." "Got things to finish off." "And what about our little party?" "Thanks for your help!" "But you are coming, right?" "We heated the room extra." "You won't stay that long either, right?" "The last doctor left afterwards for Rhea." "Our lot will never be able to afford that." "Doesn't taste so bad!" "Probably the radiator." "What are you doing?" "The party isn't over yet." "I'll take Yoshida some tea." "Ok... but hurry." "And make sure Lindbergh doesn't notice anything." "She'd ruin our party." "Don't worry, I'll be right back." "Yoshida?" "Decker..." "That son of a bitch is gone." "If I get my hands on him..." "He was woken up manually." "Someone must have let him out." "So we have a stowaway on board after all." "Shit..." "We'll search the whole ship." "You go with Portmann." "I'll go with Prokoff." "We'll start on the main section." "I'll lock all cargo bay entries." "If we don't find anything, then we'll check the rest." "Sick bay is clear." "What's your situation?" "Nothing so far." "We're at the airlock." "There's something below us." "Let's check out the lower deck." "Looks like we've found him." "He must be in this duct." "Ok... you go in here." "I'll come from the other side." "We'll kick his ass." "Once he notices that I'm front of him, he'll have to turn around." "When you see him, you shoot." "Boom, over and out." "That bastard..." "he killed Yoshida and Lacroix." "Don't forget that." "...blow...up..." "Everything is growing like it used to." "We've been lied to from the very beginning." "These plants here... they're edible." "The greenhouses keep out the acid rain." "We purify our own water in the underground tanks." "We're completely independent from the system." "And we continue to grow stronger." "More people join us every day." "Don't move!" "Laura..." "Thank God, you're alive." " Vespucci!" " Calm down." "Where the devil were you?" "We have everything under control." "We have him." "Did you have to shoot him?" "Who is that?" "Bruckner..." "What was your plan?" "No point in playing the hero." "Bruckner is dead." "Who are you trying to protect?" "Rhea...is a simulation, a lie." "The people in the tanks..." "Imbecile." "Their brains are being used as neural units to create the simulation." "We talk to the people on Rhea all the time." "Kuiper is lying to all of humanity." "Everything is being systematically kept secret." "Get him out of here." "If people knew that parts of Earth were habitable again... then the whole system would break down." "You killed him, didn't you?" "He was crazy." "He killed Lacroix." "And Yoshida?" "Move it." "How's your little patient?" "Good." "I think we can move her back into the cargo hold." "Excellent." "Prokoff and Vespucci will give you a hand." "Then we can finally close the cargo hold and... you'll go into cryo-sleep." "I will handle your shift." "So you know something about Rhea..." "The simulation is only a temporary solution." "The colonization of Rhea was a failure from the start." "Our changes to the planet's ecosystem caused unforeseen consequences." "We will find another planet." "And we won't repeat the mistakes we made on Rhea." "But until then... people need something to keep them alive." "And that thing is hope." "What happens to those who find out they're living in a simulation?" "The simulation is perfect..." "I was in there myself." "It's impossible for anyone to notice anything." "Why are you doing all this?" "You just don't get it." "Soon we'll be on Rhea." "But you and your... saboteur..." "won't make it there alive." "No one will care about the death of the ones who murdered the captain." "Did you know that we were flying to Rhea?" "But..." "Rhea is a simulation..." "I don't give a shit." "Better than staying on this rust heap." "What about all my plants?" "You idiot, there will be more plants than you ever dreamed of." "On Rhea, there is everything." "Everything." "I couldn't tell you the truth." "Laura... there's many reasons not to trust me..." "But we are the only ones who can finish this mission." "Will you help me?" "Will you help me get my sister out of the tank?" "We need 2 people to do this." "It's impossible to enter the simulation on your own." "We'll dock at Station 42 according to plan." "We can delay the unloading procedure by 30 minutes at most." "The Kassandra will then unload automatically." "Laura and I will disembark at the station." "And we'll log into the system." "And how does that work?" "The hardware used for the simulation is here, in the connection module." "With this pre-programmed interface, I will connect Laura... directly into the simulation here in the main module." "Once she's in, she will send a message from Rhea to Earth." "Meanwhile, I'll go look for her sister's tank." "When we're done, we'll blow up the transponder of the main antenna." "The station itself stays fully operational." "That means..." "Everyone will keep living in the simulation." "But they won't be able to send any more messages." "Laura's message... will be the last." "I hope people back home will believe us." "Is the Earth really habitable again?" "We've had 3 expeditions." "Nature is rampant." "She's taking everything back." "Whole cities are grown over up to the 2nd floor." "I'll bring Arianne back to Earth." "There's millions of tanks, Laura..." "Even if we do find her..." "I don't know what condition she'll be in." "She was in the simulation for a long time." "We have to try." "I want to show her the Earth..." "Has this interface been used before?" "No, it's a prototype." "It works like a neural connection for the simulation." "Don't be scared." "27 minutes." "Don't you think we should...?" "What?" "I'm doing this for you, and me." "For both of us!" "As if I'll let this pass us by." "We'll tip some guys out of their tanks and go in ourselves." "When the ship is unloaded, we'll be on Rhea!" "God damn it..." "Prokoff." "Do you hear me?" "I have Lindbergh's card." "Reprogram the unloading timer for 10 minutes, got it?" "Otherwise those 2 will make it back... and the containers won't be unloaded... and we won't be on Rhea, got it?" "We have to hurry..." "let's meet in the cargo hold, ok?" "Decker?" "Can you hear me?" "I'm having problems with my fuel cell." "The cell isn't working right." "[scrambled]" "Under no circumstances... open... door" "Rhea, here we come!" "Haven't you found... the container..." "I'm coming anyway..." "I don't think that's a good idea." "Stay where you are..." "I'm trying to find Arianne's tank." "Laura... copy..?" "Decker, can you hear me?" "Decker!" "I can't control my jetpack anymore!" "I'm drifting off!" "Decker!" "Where are you?" "!" "Decker... where are you?" "I see you." "I found Arianne's tank..." "Impossible..." "I'm sorry." "I want to see her." "Set the module to my sister's simulation." "I'll send the message from there." "The Kassandra." "Prokoff and Vespucci..." "Those idiots." "That means we have 7 minutes at the most... then I'll get you out manually." "OK." "Look how beautiful we have it here..." "At last you can actually see it." "Finally..." "And your room is almost ready too!" "You look beautiful." "Come in." "I'll show you everything." "Kids, look who's here!" "Laura, are you crying?" "Arianne, I have to go for a minute." "What's wrong?" "I love you, Arianne." "Laura, where are you going?" "My name is Laura Portmann." "This is the last message from Rhea." "Rhea is not paradise." "Rhea is a simulation." "We will bring you proof." "We were all betrayed." "Everything about Rhea is a lie." "We don't need Rhea." "However, we still have Earth." "Earth is habitable again." "Nobody will have any contact with Rhea again." "We're destroying the antennas now." "Do you hear me?" "Yes." "Good, we must hurry." "The Kassandra could launch anytime now... and you'll have to go back on your own." "On my own?" "Yes." "I'm not leaving without you." "You have to." "We won't make it far with only one jetpack." "I gave you my fuel cell." "It has enough fuel to get you to the Kassandra." "I'm not leaving without you." "Go back to the girl." "She's our only proof." "Go." "I can't!" "You can." "No..." "I love you." "Where is the girl!" "?" "No one will be able to send messages from Rhea now." "My name is Laura Portmann." "This is the last message from Rhea." "Rhea is not paradise." "Rhea is a simulation." "We will bring you proof." "We were all betrayed." "We don't need Rhea." "However, we still have Earth." "Earth is habitable again." "Nobody will have any contact with Rhea again." "We're destroying the antennas now."
