00:00He's in Arctan. Coming at me.
00:05Ah, carrying something.
00:14I got out. Walt, inside a cave.
00:18Yes, ma'am. Can you hear me? Over.
00:20Copy that.
00:22I don't feel too.
00:25My head feels like it's bursting from pressure.
00:29Breathe, Jasnah. You need to rest.
00:35No. No.
00:38I'm better now.
00:40All right, then. Can you tell me what's in there?
00:48This place is full of metal bushes.
00:51Same as the ones before.
00:53Seems like this robot started a task and then got stuck in a loop.
01:02What task?
01:04Parrying boxes. It took one but never left.
01:08Why do you think it's stuck?
01:10Well, it goes in circles, using the same path.
01:13Well, the lower parts of the bushes are... fruitless.
01:25Hm. So the Alliance came to pick the fruits.
01:40I'm pretty sure the box is filled with research material.
01:59Those... fruits?
02:01Could you retrieve them somehow?
02:02It won't be easy to snatch a crate from its steel grip.
02:06I'll come closer first.
02:08I'll come closer first.
02:14I'll come closer first.
02:18To all!
02:23I'll come closer to the wall of the swollen house.
02:26To be putus tireяж Aha!
02:30Don't get me right.
02:33Let's do another job.
02:35Did it take me?
02:37See?
02:38You've got In no way!
02:41You're getting old.
02:42Same way!
02:45Oh, my God.
03:15I think their crew took some soil samples.
03:37There's this chip rock, revealing what lies beneath the surface.
03:42Which is more metal?
03:44Yes, a metal interior.
04:14Okay.
04:15Yes, a metal interior.
04:16Yes, a metal interior.
04:18Yes, it's a metal interior.
04:20Roots are exposed as well. They're not embedded in any rock, but in a tissue-like alloy.
04:31Little bushes growing out of metal soil.
04:35Yeah, that's one way of putting it.
04:37So all the bushes in this area, and there are plenty of them, as I understand, appear to grow on the rock.
04:44But deep down, their roots are embedded in metal.
04:48Perhaps you should take a closer look at them, Doctor.
04:50Can you please check them, Yessler?
05:00Do you have anything specific in mind?
05:03Doctor, if it's all metal...
05:06Then I'll use a detector. Right.
05:11I'm checking. Give me a sec.
05:14Perfect.
05:17Everything matches.
05:18There's metal all around, and the bushes have a direct connection with the whole system.
05:25Hmm. Interesting.
05:28Sounds similar.
05:30To the structures I saw following Gorski?
05:33Yes. Huh.
05:35Well, perhaps it's...
05:37Looks like two generations.
05:39One, old, dead, a relic.
05:41Second, these bushes are growing in the remains of the former generation.
05:47Hang on.
05:48Are you saying that this new generation is alive?
05:51And the old one used to be alive.
05:55We can't rule us out.
05:58And you say that as a biologist?
06:00I haven't heard you mention cells, membranes, organs, or green bodies.
06:05Which leads me to one conclusion.
06:07That thing is not alive, Doctor.
06:10Well, we're used to calling it all life protonatious.
06:13Especially ourselves.
06:14But that's on us.
06:15The universe doesn't give a damn about our classifications.
06:19Yes, ma.
06:20Are you abandoning your profession?
06:22Will you have learned, discovered, researched so far?
06:25I'm just opening up to the unknown.
06:32Shit.
06:34I can't handle it anymore.
06:35I can't handle it anymore.
07:05The robot disappeared.
07:13You must have broken its loop.
07:15I didn't.
07:16You must have done something.
07:18Never mind.
07:19We'll try to locate it.
07:20But first of all, get out of there now.
07:29I found the robot.
07:31It hasn't gone far.
07:34Good.
07:34Please, follow it.
07:42Oh, fuck.
07:59Fuck, it's getting up.
08:00What?
08:01The robot.
08:02No.
08:03No, the anti-mat.
08:04You need to act fast.
08:05Move, Jasna.
08:06Fuck.
08:07No.
08:11Jasna?
08:12Are you alive?
08:14Yes.
08:15I destroyed the robot.
08:18What's it doing now?
08:20I'll make you a fine astrogate.
08:28You always have been.
08:33What are you saying, Doctor?
08:35You've always been a great support for the entire crew.
08:38No.
08:39Don't die on me now.
08:40I'm begging you.
08:42Don't give up.
08:43You can't.
08:45You can't.
08:49It fails you.
08:51Sorry.
08:52So fucking sorry.
08:55So my fault.
08:56Do you hear me?
08:57All mine.
08:58It was my decision.
08:59I decided to accept this mission.
09:02How did I survive?
09:05Wait.
09:07You said you had a choice.
09:11Jasna.
09:12You're alive.
09:14If you could reject it, why didn't you?
09:18After a series of successful missions, are you safe now?
09:23Safe enough.
09:23And the Antimap?
09:26He decided not to shoot me after all.
09:30Please continue, sir.
09:33I'm all ears.
09:36You will agree that we were doing very well.
09:39Outstanding results.
09:40That's how it ought to end.
09:42Well.
09:42Yes, I fully agree.
09:44But then it seemed this could have been the crowning achievement of the entire expedition.
09:49Just imagine...
09:50You could have at least asked us.
09:52I did wrong.
09:54I know that now.
09:55I will never forgive myself for it.
09:58Neither do I expect you to.
10:06Marit?
10:07She can no longer forgive you.
10:09Same goes for the others.
10:11I'm fully aware.
10:14All of it weighs heavily on my mind.
10:17Believe me, Doctor.
10:17So, if I may, I would suggest watching your next steps.
10:24There were no more Antimaps on the slides, sir.
10:27I'm afraid that's not the only threat around, aren't you?
10:30Of course I am.
10:32But I won't rest until I find out what happened to our people.
10:35How we can aid them.
10:37I'm afraid that's not the only threat around, aren't you?
10:38I'm afraid that's not the only threat around me.
11:09For now, you can forget about the research material. The only thing left of the Arctan is its feet.
11:17Considering all the factors, I would assume everyone in the convoy is dead.
11:22If there's anything more to learn, it's from the recording devices.
11:25The first anti-rack told us a lot. The second one is destroyed.
11:29You spoke about the probe. It should be a valuable source of information.
11:34And the rovers. Are they on the convoy list?
11:36Oh, it's cooled down.
11:41Actually, it's right in front of me.
12:19Why even bother with security measures when they just leave keys in locks anyway?
12:49So, let's hear it.
12:54Hello, base.
12:55This is Antka.
12:56Hello, Antka.
12:58Tesla here.
12:59I can hear you.
13:00Reporting.
13:0125th day of the mission, 7.15 a.m.
13:04We arrived.
13:05Huh.
13:06I saw it on the slides.
13:08We encountered a terrain obstacle, but it has been removed.
13:10You can skip ahead if you would.
13:12We've established permanent access to the extraction site, separated the material for research.
13:16Now we're securing the first transport.
13:18Dr. Boza.
13:19Base.
13:20Come in.
13:21Dr. Boza wants to talk with you.
13:23Tesla gear.
13:24Over.
13:25We have a sort of discovery.
13:28Oh.
13:29I'm listening.
13:3025th day.
13:31Base.
13:32This is Boza.
13:33Doctor.
13:34These tiny crystals contain highly advanced technology.
13:38Individually, they are slender and helpless.
13:41However, when in a group they seem to stimulate and support each other, revealing new properties.
13:48At first they started to emit an electromagnetic field.
13:51Okay.
13:52And then?
13:53A handful of small crystals gathered together.
13:56When in a larger group, they activated and, this is our biggest revelation so far, they started floating in the air.
14:05Did I hear that, Black?
14:06The larger the group, the easier, more freely.
14:10Yes.
14:11Apparently it's flying.
14:13Like a swarm of mechanical flies.
14:15Slow down, Doctor.
14:16You say crystals, or rather flies.
14:20Which one is it?
14:21Call it whatever you want.
14:23These creatures have a precise three-fold symmetry, resembling the letter Y, with three-pointed arms connecting in a central bulge.
14:33Black as coal in direct light, shimmering with shades of blue and olive in reflected light.
14:39As my colleague Osterhaus mentioned, they somewhat resemble the abdomens of certain terrestrial insects.
14:47Is Markovnik there?
14:49Navigator's unavailable right now.
14:51Well, please let him know. We'll submit our reports as soon as he's available.
14:55Oh, and have him send us another transporter, will you?
15:00Autonomous robots the size of flies!
15:03It's not finished. Let's keep listening.
15:06Hello, convoy. Anka, come in. Are you there?
15:11Yes, yes, I'm here. We're finishing loading. Preparing to depart.
15:16Don't!
15:17Leave the material behind and return to the base.
15:20But, why? What happened?
15:23Scouts came back from this whole city.
15:25Tesla? What's going on? Hello? Tesla, come in.
15:30Navigator's speaking. Don't take anything, just get out of there. Immediately, that's an order!
15:35Last saved recording.
15:38Amazing.
15:40Microbots grouping and flying together. Similar to flies.
15:45Capable of affecting other machines.
15:47Even to the point that those affected become dangerous to humans.
15:51The microbots, they must be dangerous as well.
15:54I don't know how, but not all people were killed by larger robots.
15:59I think I figured it out. Partially, at least.
16:03The Alliance scientists were very clear that all of this had to do with an electromagnetic field.
16:07The field emitted by these flies.
16:09When people displayed disturbing symptoms, field measurements showed above-average values.
16:15At first, I thought it was a sensoric malfunction, after all the machines were broken.
16:20It turns out that field damaged them. So, all the malfunctions occurred afterward.
16:27Why didn't I think of it sooner?
16:30Prolonged exposure to strong electromagnetic fields can be harmful to the human brain.
16:35Usually, it concerns the long-term effects, months and years of unfavorable conditions.
16:40Please elaborate, Doctor. What sort of effects?
16:43Various brain dysfunctions. It may even lead to the arrest of vital organs.
16:48So, that's how, Merit?
16:53Most probably. Another known effect of the EM field is memory loss.
16:58The human organism continues to function normally.
17:02But the human being, such, is helpless. Vulnerable.
17:05Like a baby, they don't understand the world around them.
17:09Can such a person learn the world anew?
17:15I can't be sure. There's no precedence.
17:17Even if there is room for development.
17:20Learning everything all over.
17:22They won't, they won't remember anything.
17:25Even language.
17:26Their past, our voyages together.
17:29Let's face it.
17:31This new life of theirs will be far from normal.
17:34They'll be aged children.
17:36Walking curiosities, oddities, lab rats.
17:39All that made them gone to hell.
17:41Perhaps researching those flies will help us to better aid our people.
17:44We're theorizing for now.
17:46Be worth examining. Confirm at least.
17:49Got it, Astrogator.
17:51I'll search for those containers of flies.
17:53Matilda knows those containers of flies.
17:57...
18:04...
18:08...
18:12...
18:14...
18:18Oh
18:48I've located one of the transporters, sir. Please don't celebrate yet, though.
18:55Something strange has happened to it.
18:57Get to the point, please. What's wrong with it?
18:59The outer shell is damaged. There are holes everywhere.
19:03Like, from bullets?
19:05No. It looks like it's been corroded by strong acid.
19:18You can't hide.
19:32You can't hide.
19:41the door to the cargo bay has budged a little but it won't open fully
19:54it's too awkward to squeeze in
20:03the whole vehicle is just stuffed with bushes
20:09but can you see past them not quite yet
20:22now
20:30I can see broken containers no sign of the
20:37flies just plenty bushes you have some
20:42theories huh everything that comes to my
20:45mind seems absurd you go ahead sir as I
20:53see it no idea is too absurd right now I
20:56haven't quite thought it through not yet
20:58maybe after I listen to your assessment well look I think it might work like this the bushes and flies have a symbiotic relationship I even consider that the flies are part of the bushes just like the fruits if the flies can fly they behave more like insects and the bushes like plants I see we're getting back to biological analogies according to your profession do I correctly conclude that you are confident that this is a good idea of the
21:19the bushes like plants I see we're getting back to biological analogies according to your profession
21:26But I can quickly conclude that you are confident that this can be life fall
