1
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,700
I don't know, Trance.
I just don't really think it's me.

2
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,300
Don't you wanna look good?

3
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:19,300
Well, only in so far as it aids my official functions.

4
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,000
So your other outfits are,
supposed to be functional?

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,700
Well, they're all approved variations
of High Guard officer's uniforms.

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,800
FEMALE officer's uniforms.
VERY female.

7
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:31,300
Well, over seventy percent of
my original crew was human.

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,800
And studies have shown that humans feel more
comfortable with an Artificial Intelligence

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,700
whose persona is female than any other.
Same thing's true for Vedrans and Than...

10
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:44,600
So, your appearance is,
strictly for the psychological benefit of the crew.

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,300
My entire existence is
for the benefit of the crew.

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,700
Everything that I do:
from assisting Harper with the right tool

13
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:57,300
manufacturing munitions and supplies
to monitoring flight operations

14
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,400
Even allowing you to use me as a mannequin.

15
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:04,100
All of my functions are designed to aid the smooth
operations of this ship and its inhabitants.

16
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:07,100
Rommie, I can't believe that you're actually saying

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,600
that the reason you look like a walking
heart attack is for our benefit.

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,800
I'm not sure what you mean.

19
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,200
All Beka's trying to say is that
she thinks you're pretty.

20
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,200
No, no. I think you went a little
overboard on the, pouty lips.

21
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,100
I didn't design my appearance.
I extrapolated it.

22
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:28,600
In myth, Andromeda was a Phoenician princess.
Now, since no one knows what Phoenicians looked like,

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,500
I blended a multitude of human
physiognomies to create this plausible simulation.

24
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:39,300
So, what you're saying is that you randomly
chose a bunch of, human female features.

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,700
You mixed them all up and,

26
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:47,200
THIS was the first face that you came up with?

27
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:51,400
I MAY,...
have experimented with a few options.

28
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:53,000
Define "a few".

29
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:55,800
One hundred and seventy thousand,
eight hundred and ninety four.

30
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:57,400
I KNEW IT!

31
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,300
Shipwide alert.

32
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:02,500
Dylan, I'm detecting mechanical objects ahead.

33
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,200
Minefield?

34
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,300
No. Some kind of debris.

35
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:10,100
It's under power.
It's aiming at the hull.

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,900
And it's sticking.

37
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,500
Increase power to the external AG field.

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,400
It's not repelling the objects.
They're migrating along the ship's surface.

39
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:17,700
Where to?

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,900
Hangar deck four.
They're forcing their way in.

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
- Beka. Tyr. Meet me in Hangar Deck four.
- Code Black.

42
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:24,600
I'm on my way.

43
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:29,700
Repressurizing Hangar Deck.
Secondary airlock breached. Debris entering.

44
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,000
Peace?

45
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:42,900
Hold your fire until my order.

46
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:56,900
weirdness alert.

47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,500
Andromeda, activate security counter-measures.
Open fire at the first sign of hostile intent.

48
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:03,300
Counter-measures ready.

49
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:08,100
Please, do not initiate hostile action.
I am Bio-sentient Contact Unit

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,300
HG-1966HXCN5.

51
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,400
What is it you humans say?
"Take me to your leader."

52
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:27,000
The long night has come

53
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:30,900
The system Commonwealth,
the greatest civilisation is fall

54
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:34,800
and now one ship, one crew are
about drive back the night,

55
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:36,900
they'll gush up the light of civilisation

56
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
on the starship Andromeda hope lives again

57
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,700
<b>.</b>

58
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:23,700
Will none of you greet me with
the traditional human hug embrace?

59
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,200
No.

60
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,900
who's the bolt-head?

61
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,900
- He smells like cinnamon!
- Stay back.

62
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
No one wishes to embrace me.

63
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:38,100
Ah.
I have neglected part of the ritual greeting.

64
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,600
I come in peace.

65
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,300
You come in peace,
yet you forced your way on to my ship.

66
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,300
I was instructed to make contact
with maximum alacrity.

67
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,000
That means he was supposed to do it fast.

68
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,400
Someone's been listening to her language programs again.

69
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:53,800
You were instructed to make contact by who?

70
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,200
By whom.

71
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,100
I am an emissary from the Consensus of Parts.

72
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,000
I come in peace.
Take me to your leader.

73
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,500
Yeah, yeah. We got it the first time.
Consensus of Parts. Anyone?

74
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,700
I always thought they were a myth.

75
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,700
The Consensus is supposed
to be a big machine culture

76
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:15,500
that lives in the empty space
between star systems.

77
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,600
Where no ship dares to tread.

78
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:20,900
Yeah, you forgot the part about,
preying on the unwary.

79
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,600
No. We never prey.
We seek consensus and understanding.

80
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:32,200
We are the union of the machine
the silicon coalescence.

81
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:34,000
Silicon coalescence?

82
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
From the castaway parts of organic societies,
we form sentients.

83
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,500
Well, that's very admirable.

84
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,000
Even in our distant places,
we have heard the legend of Andromeda.

85
00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:45,300
We seek contact.

86
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,400
You came looking for us specifically?

87
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:52,200
I was created for you.
The Consensus's directing intelligence units

88
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,400
plotted 743 probably lines of travel
based on your last known location.

89
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:03,000
At each possible destination, a biomechanical
contact unit was assembled to meet you.

90
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,100
I have the fortunate honor of greeting you,

91
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:10,400
and inviting you to meet
with a directing intelligence unit.

92
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,600
Take me to your leader.

93
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,200
This feels like a trap.

94
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,300
That thing down there was obviously
programmed to make us trust it.

95
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,100
The child-like face, the innocent persona
...even the smell.

96
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:27,700
Protective camouflage?

97
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:31,500
In my experience, devils very rarely
wear horns and carry pitchforks.

98
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:36,700
well, according to the stories, the Consensus of Parts
is made up of billions of interlinked machines,

99
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:40,700
all operating strictly on logic.
And when it's logical for them to kill people, they do.

100
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:42,000
Without hesitation.

101
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,300
So you both think we should dump
this thing and forget we ever met it.

102
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:47,100
You don't?

103
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,500
I don't trust this any more than you do.

104
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,200
But if someone says they want to initiate peaceful contact,
we have to at least give them a chance.

105
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,200
Captain Hunt...

106
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:57,900
Save your breath. He's got that look again.

107
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,700
You know, maybe I do,

108
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:04,000
but restoring the Commonwealth is logical, too.

109
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:06,200
And if the Consensus agrees with what we're trying to do,

110
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:09,900
they would make a powerful ally.
We'll watch him, keep him under guard.

111
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:13,000
But we will talk to him.

112
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:24,200
You're out of uniform.

113
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:28,300
- Oh! I'll go change.
- Nonono, tha it's, it's fine.

114
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,200
Status on our guest?

115
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,400
Well, he hasn't done anything
that would violate our security,

116
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,100
and Harper and Trance appear
quite taken with him.

117
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:38,800
Trance in particular.

118
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:44,100
So, what do you think?
Do we let him take us to his superiors?

119
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:49,500
I miss the old days. I'd feel a lot better about making
first contact with a full task force at our backs.

120
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:51,500
I know how you feel.

121
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,900
We'll give it a shot. At the first sign of trouble,
I want you prepped to run. Understood?

122
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:57,300
Understood.

123
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,500
This is wonderful. The directing intelligence
unit will be so pleased.

124
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:06,200
And I can't wait to interface with the Andromeda.

125
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:09,300
Interface. Right. Over my dead body.

126
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,800
But I have to link my core intelligence with Andromeda's

127
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,000
give her the necessary transit codes,
astrogational charts, and other information.

128
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:21,300
Why can't you just give us the information directly?

129
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,100
I don't know.
My data in this area is incomplete.

130
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:28,500
But the Consensus has very few directing intelligences.

131
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,000
We guard them carefully.

132
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:33,100
well, that's good to know.
Would you excuse us, please?

133
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:36,100
Of course, I come in peace.

134
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:39,000
Yes. So do we. Excuse us?

135
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,600
I don't like this.
If I let you link up with that thing...

136
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:47,900
I can erect a firewall limit
his access to a bare minimum.

137
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,800
And during interface, I might be able to see
if his intentions are good or not.

138
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,700
I'm reasonably certain I can handle him,
but only if you think it's worth it.

139
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,300
Hello, brother. I am HG.
I embrace you.

140
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,100
Oh, it's worth it.

141
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,400
HG? Let's, go this way.

142
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,200
Beginning interface.

143
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:24,300
Harper, status?

144
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,600
Everything seems to be straight up.
HG hasn't touched the firewall.

145
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:29,800
Comparing core intentionality protocols.

146
00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:32,000
You...care.

147
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,400
So do you.

148
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:36,500
Transmitting data.

149
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,300
Wow.
This is the fastest transfer rate I've ever seen.

150
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,400
Slow it down if you have to.
Just protect Andromeda.

151
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,200
Exchange proceeding.

152
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:05,900
- Systems nominal.
- Beginning navigational interface.

153
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,200
We've got it.
Filtering to the buffered files.

154
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:10,800
Transfer complete.

155
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:15,200
Rommie?

156
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,900
Oh, no.
I'm...ooooaaah.

157
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,500
I'm fine.
I'm dizzy.

158
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,400
I apologize for any residual echo.
It should fade soon.

159
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,500
Nav data's on-line.

160
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:31,000
Rommie's firewalls appear to be intact.
I think our friend here, uh, behaved himself.

161
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,700
Ok. Let's do this.

162
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,500
And we're off.

163
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:48,900
How much longer until we get there?

164
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,400
Uhhh...jeez, you gave us the data.
Don't you know?

165
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:55,600
I've never traveled in this manner before.
I've never done anything before.

166
00:10:55,700 --> 00:11:00,000
Well, we've got three jumps and
some sub-light haulings, so I'd say,...

167
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,400
...couple of hours, at least.

168
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:05,800
A couple of hours.
You organics live with such imprecision.

169
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,500
It must be very exhilarating.

170
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:10,700
Yeah, it's, non-stop excitement.

171
00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:16,700
Beka-friend, do you like what you do?
Do you find it meaningful?

172
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,400
Yeah, I guess. Why?

173
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:25,100
You appear to be a vital part of
the Andromeda Consensus. I envy you.

174
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:30,600
Gee. Thanks.
Andromeda?

175
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,800
Yes?

176
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,900
I know that Dylan wanted our little
ambassador friend to be confined to Command,

177
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:39,000
but, I think he's seen all there is to see here.

178
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:43,900
Is there any way you can escort him on a tour
of the ship's public areas? Something? Anything?

179
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:47,500
Let him ambassadorize somewhere else. Please?

180
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:52,700
I'll see what I can do.

181
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,900
So that's pretty much our machine shop.

182
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,400
Huh. This is where the parts come together.
With your hands?

183
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,400
Exactly. My hands.

184
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:06,600
You are like a slow directing intelligence unit.

185
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,000
Oooookay.
I'll take that as a compliment.

186
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:12,300
What does this do?

187
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,000
This, ...doesn't do anything. Not really.

188
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:17,300
Not YET.

189
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,100
Harper's still putting it together.

190
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,300
Yeah. You know, for, uhhh, fun.

191
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,400
Fun. Amazing.
Parts assembled with no function.

192
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,400
A world without controlling logic.

193
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,600
Well, we like it. Now if you'll come with me,
I'd really like you to see the garden.

194
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:47,500
And this is a galactica magmata from Zircon 6.

195
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,900
Not machines.

196
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,300
No. Flowers.

197
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,400
Oh. So they are part of the crew then.
I am Bio-Sentient Contact Unit

198
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,200
HG19668

199
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,000
Uh, no. HG, these particular plants aren't sentient.
They're just a part of my garden.

200
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:10,100
I understand. Part of the process for recycling
carbon dioxide into oxygen for humanoid breathing.

201
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,400
And not just that. They also produce fruit
And they smell good. And they're pretty.

202
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,800
Pretty?

203
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:22,200
Here. Smell.

204
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:25,500
I I lack olfactory sensors.

205
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,600
Well, why don't you try something different, then.

206
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,400
Soft. Pretty.
You like them so you make a place for them.

207
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,500
Do you like me?

208
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:47,000
Of course I do.

209
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:51,400
Could you make a place for me?

210
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,600
All hands, incoming transmission.

211
00:13:57,500 --> 00:14:02,500
Put it through.

212
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,300
HG's big brother.

213
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,800
I guess some devils do wear horns.

214
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:14,900
I am Directing Intelligence Unit VX1583 with
power to act directly for the central consensus.

215
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:18,400
Prepare to receive our drones.

216
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:23,500
Nice to meet you, too.

217
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,700
VX's drone has entered the outer airlock.

218
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,400
Before he arrives, I just wanted to say
"Thank you for making me welcome."

219
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,200
Repressurizing airlock.

220
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,100
My pleasure.

221
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:39,500
Cycle complete.

222
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:44,500
Be careful.

223
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:53,200
Welcome aboard the Andromeda Ascendant.

224
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,800
You responded quickly.

225
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:58,100
Your messenger was very persuasive.

226
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,100
You are still here. Why?

227
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,800
I was just finishing my mission.

228
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:04,800
You are complete.

229
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:08,700
Of course.

230
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,800
I have to go now.

231
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:25,700
Captain Hunt, I am ready to evaluate your ship.

232
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Ok. Follow me.

233
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:48,700
HG, wait! Where are you going?

234
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,900
There is nowhere to go.
My time is ended.

235
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:56,200
Ended? I don't understand.

236
00:15:56,300 --> 00:16:01,300
Consensi only come together to perform a specific task.

237
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,600
Now that it is done, I must deconsensus.

238
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,500
You mean you're gonna cease to exist?

239
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:15,900
I am complete. Perhaps the directing intelligence unit
will gather my parts into himself.

240
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:19,500
But you were just finding out
what it meant to be alive.

241
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,600
True. And now I will learn what it means to die.

242
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:33,700
And this is the officer's mess.

243
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:38,900
This area is a critical part of your ship's function?

244
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,600
No, it's not.

245
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Nor is anything else you've showed me.
You are being evasive.

246
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,800
I prefer cautious.
HG said you'd heard of my mission.

247
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:55,000
Fifty member worlds.
A new Commonwealth charter.

248
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,800
We analyzed the probabilities.

249
00:16:57,900 --> 00:16:59,600
We foresee nothing but disaster.

250
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:02,000
Well, if you believe that,
then why did you invite us here?

251
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:07,100
To make a counter-proposal.
The Andromeda is a unique and fascinating entity.

252
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,000
She'll join the consensus, and your bio-units
may accompany her. You will agree.

253
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,100
We'll consider it.

254
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,100
Elevated heart rate.

255
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,500
Incongruous eye movement.

256
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,500
You are lying.

257
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:30,600
I'm not lying. I'm a little insulted and
I just didn't want to show it.

258
00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:37,300
You see. That's why the consensus is superior.
When we require intelligent decisions,

259
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,800
millions or even billions of component
parts network with each other.

260
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,300
The Commonwealth depended on individuals.

261
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,400
Individuals can work together, too.
When I'm faced with a difficult decision,

262
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,600
I seek out the advice of my crew,
and they follow my orders of their own free will.

263
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,600
That makes us flexible...
not blinded by false logic.

264
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,200
And Andromeda does she have her own free will?

265
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:04,300
Certainly.

266
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:09,500
Then the decision as to whether or not
to consensus is not yours. It is hers.

267
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,600
I believe the phrase "No chance in Hell!"
would be appropriate.

268
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:15,700
That was heartfelt and deeply convincing.

269
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,800
Well, at least he asked nicely,
more or less.

270
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:20,900
I want him to keep asking right
until we slipstream out of here.

271
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,200
Constructive engagement.
I know the drill. Keep him occupied.

272
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,400
Dylan, you need to come to hydroponics quickly!
It's HG.

273
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:29,800
On my way.

274
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,400
So, you're going to disassemble.

275
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:43,300
I am complete.
VX has ordered me to deconsensus.

276
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:46,500
There is no alternative course of action.

277
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,800
I can suggest one.
Say "No!"

278
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:51,700
You do not understand what you are asking.

279
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,000
She's asking you to stay alive.

280
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:59,200
She's asking to ensure the destruction
of this ship and everyone on it.

281
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,400
I'm sure that's not what she meant.

282
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:06,600
All consensi are temporary. Even VX, when
his function is complete, will disband.

283
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,100
Any consensus which tries to remain
together past its completion

284
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:17,400
is a danger to society and must be eliminated.

285
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,100
The same is true for anyone
that would aid such a consensus.

286
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:25,500
So if we let you stay here...

287
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,300
He will destroy you.

288
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:29,600
Well just let him try, because we can take him!

289
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:31,100
No.

290
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:38,500
It's better this way. I came in peace,
and I will go in peace.

291
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:48,500
I do have one request, however.

292
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,100
Which is?

293
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:55,400
When I was linked with Andromeda,
I learned of an ancient human custom

294
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:57,700
I would like to experience.

295
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:02,900
It's called awake.

296
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:13,000
My life began here.
It seems right it ends here.

297
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,300
Andromeda, I have already shared
everything I am with you.

298
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:25,500
But for the rest, I would like to give you
each a gift to remember me by.

299
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:33,100
For you, Trance, maybe you can make
a place for this in your garden.

300
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,500
It is, I think,
the prettiest part of me.

301
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,700
I think all of you is pretty.

302
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,100
Harper, you construct things
that give you pleasure.

303
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:50,100
Build this into something you enjoy.

304
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,200
I got just the thing.

305
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,100
For Rebecca,

306
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,300
who showed me how to fly.

307
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,300
For Tyr...

308
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:09,400
I want no souvenirs from a suicide.

309
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:11,000
Tyr...

310
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,400
Fine. But this is immensely foolish.

311
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,500
For Tyr,

312
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,200
who taught me the value
of honesty and courage.

313
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,600
And for you, Captain Hunt.
I finally found the leader.

314
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,400
You don't have to do this.
We can protect you.

315
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:49,000
No, you can't.
But I can protect you.

316
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:07,800
Goodbye, my friends.

317
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:02,100
Why is this interaction unit disabled?

318
00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:04,800
I'll have to take a look at that.

319
00:23:04,900 --> 00:23:07,200
VX, Andromeda and I have discussed your offer.

320
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:10,500
Good. I'll begin consensus immediately.

321
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,200
I said we discussed it,
not that we agreed to it.

322
00:23:13,300 --> 00:23:15,600
In other words: Thanks, but no thanks.

323
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:17,000
You refuse us?

324
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:18,900
that's, pretty much what she said, yes.

325
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:21,600
I was not directing my inquiry to you, organic.

326
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,800
Do not fear him. I will not allow him
to corrupt you or manipulate you.

327
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,300
Nobody manipulates me.
I do as I choose, and I prefer to remain as I am.

328
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:35,100
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

329
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,300
Tyr, escort our honored guest
to Hangar Deck 4, please.

330
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:17,900
VX's avatar has left the hangar.

331
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,900
And good riddance.
Take us out to slipstream range.

332
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,000
For once, I'm glad artificial intelligences can't
travel through slipstream. And then I've got a...

333
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:27,700
What's that?

334
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,600
Some kind of power fluctuation.
...it's disrupting my connection with the ship.

335
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:34,100
Slipstream drive is not responding.

336
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:47,400
I'm getting feedback...
some kind of invasive...

337
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:51,400
Keep it together, Rommie.
Harper, report!

338
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:56,500
Harper? Harper! Status!
Mr. Harper!

339
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,700
We've got trouble, Dylan. The main power relays
are littered with some kind of carbon filaments.

340
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:03,400
Does it look like sabotage?

341
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:05,500
...sources say "Yes!"

342
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,100
They're down here, too.

343
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:18,300
They're everywhere!
And they're spreading.

344
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:24,500
Son of a

345
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,200
HG, that little.
He was working with VX all along.

346
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,100
Parasitic technology from his "gifts".

347
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,300
I have had it with this. Making friends?
Spreading the Commonwealth?

348
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,400
We may as well strap a sign to our keel saying
"Take advantage of us."

349
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,500
Why do we care?
Why do we bother?

350
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,500
Sometimes I wonder. Harper, Tyr, Trance,
I want you to remove the invasive technology.

351
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,200
Tear it out one piece at a time
if you have to.

352
00:25:47,300 --> 00:25:49,100
Gladly.

353
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:54,700
Harper, stop! HG's components have
taken over too many of my key systems.

354
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:56,800
If you just tear them out,
you'll kill me.

355
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,200
VX is hailing us.
Voice only.

356
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,600
Now for the ultimatum.
Put it through.

357
00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:04,500
Andromeda, this is our final offer.

358
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:07,900
Today you are slave to your bio-units.

359
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,300
In the Consensus, you will become their master.
Join us.

360
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:13,200
Or else.

361
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,400
I'm no one's slave!
I don't want you or your Consensus.

362
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,600
That is not a valid choice. You are too powerful,
too beautiful to remain alone.

363
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:28,100
In the Consensus you can be part of something
magnificent, but outside you would be a threat.

364
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:30,000
And we do not tolerate threats.

365
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:31,500
Neither do I.

366
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,100
So, now what.

367
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,600
He'll use the invasive components
to seize control of the ship.

368
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:44,900
Or, he could use missiles.

369
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,500
It doesn't make any sense. He's already infiltrated us.
He doesn't need to attack.

370
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,500
Yeah, why don't you tell him that?

371
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,900
All hands, battle stations!

372
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:05,200
Return fire.
Offensive missiles, all batteries.

373
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,400
He didn't even try to evade.

374
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,700
He didn't need to.

375
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,700
He's a thousand times our size.
Get us out of here.

376
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,100
Harper! I could use some good news
right about now!

377
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,400
Well, unless you got your money on the
Consensus of Parts, don't hold your breath.

378
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,000
Andromeda's being overwhelmed.

379
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,700
The invaded systems are cannibalizing
their own components to fuel their growth.

380
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:35,700
It's like cancer, and if it doesn't stop growing,
Andromeda will die.

381
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:41,300
All right, without slipstream,
I won't be able to shake 'em.

382
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,300
Just hold 'em off.

383
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,400
Dylan? Something is wrong.
Wasn't supposed to...

384
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,200
Embrace.

385
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,400
That sounded like HG!

386
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:55,700
Rommie!

387
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:02,100
Give it a rest already!
It's like VX doesn't know we're crippled.

388
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:06,700
Because he didn't do this to us.

389
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:22,100
There. Let's see...got it.

390
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,600
What happened?

391
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:30,500
HG reprogrammed your nanobots.
They're manufacturing more parts of him.

392
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:31,900
They're flooding your systems, Rommie.

393
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,500
We need to contact HG and find out why he's doing this.
There's only one way to do that.

394
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:39,800
Through me.

395
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,400
I would adjust your I/O frequency.
But, it wouldn't work if you struggled against it, Rommie.

396
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,400
You'd have to allow him to assert himself,
the same way you do with your own mainframe.

397
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,200
Charming.
I'd be his puppet.

398
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,400
Just for a little while, until we,
y'know, can get him to cooperate.

399
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,000
If he doesn't,
then we'll fight him.

400
00:28:56,300 --> 00:28:57,600
I'll do it.

401
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,800
HG, this is Captain Hunt.
Can you hear me?

402
00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:16,900
I...come...peace?

403
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,200
HG, what are you doing?

404
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,600
Just...wanted...a place.

405
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:29,300
Peace.

406
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:30,800
Clean up the signal.

407
00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:31,800
Help me?

408
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:34,600
I'll help you!
Straight into a trash heap!

409
00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:35,700
No!

410
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,300
Please! I...

411
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,500
just want...to live.

412
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:50,000
To be...useful.
To be a part of...

413
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,500
your consensus.

414
00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:00,700
You were supposed to disassemble.
Instead you infiltrated Andromeda's systems.

415
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,200
I thought I could hide until
VX left, then recombine.

416
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,400
But I lost control,

417
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,500
and now my components
are spreading and I can't stop them.

418
00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:23,700
Help me? Please?
Help me live?

419
00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:42,900
Options? Destroy HG.
Piece by piece.

420
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:45,600
No! We can't kill him.
He's a sentient being.

421
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:48,200
He didn't mean to hurt the Andromeda.
He just wants to survive.

422
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:49,400
At our expense.

423
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,000
I'm with Tyr!
...Although I never thought I'd say that.

424
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:55,200
We can't just eliminate him.
Andromeda said it would destroy her.

425
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,300
She said we can't just jump in and yank him out.
But, there is another way.

426
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,200
I can configure our own nanobots to attack HG's systems.
Kinda like, little immune boosters.

427
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:05,600
They'll eat him alive!

428
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,800
If that thing out there catches us, we'll all be dead,
including your little friend. Now, consider that.

429
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:14,700
VX. He's catching up.

430
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,800
Attention, bio-units.
The Andromeda has undertaken an illegal joining.

431
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:25,300
This is a violation of consensus protocols.
If this criminal activity does not cease,

432
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:30,500
all infestations on Andromeda,
both biological and machine, will be eliminated.

433
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
You have three minutes.

434
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:36,000
So there it is.
We enact Harper's plan.

435
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,800
Maybe not. Tyr, what do you do when you realize
you're fighting a superior opponent in, say,

436
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,000
hand-to-hand combat.

437
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,300
Use his strength against him.
Allow him to attack until I can find

438
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,900
a way to counter-strike.
Pull him off-balance.

439
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Exactly. It's call "investing in loss".
Sometimes the best way to win is to stop fighting back.

440
00:31:53,300 --> 00:31:54,100
Two minutes.

441
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:57,600
Andromeda, I want you to stop fighting HG.
Allow him to take control.

442
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:01,000
Fighting. Can...regain...control.

443
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,300
No. Let it go, Andromeda.
Trust me.

444
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:10,300
Always...trust.
Investing. Surrendering.

445
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:12,500
HG, is that you?

446
00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:14,100
All is embraced.

447
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,400
One minute.

448
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:16,800
All is joining.

449
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,600
HG, concentrate!
Take control of the ship's systems.

450
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,600
Control. Yes! Control.

451
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:24,000
VX is closing again.

452
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,500
HG, activate the slipstream drive.

453
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,100
Ten light seconds away. Nine.

454
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,300
Come on. Come on!

455
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,400
- HG!
- So many systems. Unfamiliar.

456
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:36,900
HG, concentrate. I know you can do it.
Just believe in yourself.

457
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:38,300
Time expired.

458
00:32:38,300 --> 00:32:39,600
He's right on top of us.

459
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:41,300
HG! Now!

460
00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:43,600
I...I am. I am.

461
00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:45,300
We're online!

462
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,500
Beka!

463
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:47,800
Streaming now.

464
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:52,100
Eat my dust, you bucket of bolts.

465
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,100
We made it.
He can't follow us here.

466
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,700
Tell him that.

467
00:33:00,300 --> 00:33:03,600
He can't do that! He's not organic.
He can't navigate the slipstream!

468
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,400
HG, are there organics piloting VX?

469
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:09,300
No.

470
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:17,000
To navigate slipstream, a consensus needs
only organic intuition, nothing more.

471
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,200
VX's helm control is hooked into
human neural components.

472
00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:22,800
Oh, nasty. Brains in a bottle.

473
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:24,400
Beka, can you outmaneuver him?

474
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:28,500
His slip-piloting's not as good as mine.
I might be able to buy us some time, but it won't be enough.

475
00:33:28,700 --> 00:33:33,200
As soon as we drop into normal space,
he's going to be right on top of us, and tear us to pieces.

476
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:35,900
Great.

477
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,200
Introducing Harper Nanobot 107.
I like to call this model the Ms. Pacman.

478
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,100
It's an obscure reference
to an ancient video game.

479
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,600
How does it work?

480
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,700
Well, I modeled it after white blood cells.
They'll attack the HG Components

481
00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:55,200
and revert it back to their previous function.

482
00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:56,400
What about HG?

483
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,100
He'll die.

484
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,300
Hey, guys. Beka said VX just got out of slipstream,
and he's closing on us again.

485
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:03,700
Thank you, Trance.

486
00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:05,000
What are you doing?

487
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:09,200
Thank you, Trance.
You're dismissed.

488
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:11,700
You guys are using Harper's plan, aren't you?
You're gonna kill him!

489
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,900
It's our only choice.

490
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,800
No! There has to be something else we can do.

491
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,400
Wait a minute.
Why don't you tell us, Trance.

492
00:34:21,500 --> 00:34:22,600
Well...I...

493
00:34:22,700 --> 00:34:26,100
Trance, if you have something to say, say it.

494
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:30,200
You told me there's always a perfect
possible future, so what is it today?

495
00:34:30,900 --> 00:34:32,500
i-it-it's not that easy.

496
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,500
No time for games.

497
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:38,900
Dylan, I'm telling you the truth.
Sometimes, I have these flashes.

498
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,100
But it's not something that
I can make happen all the time.

499
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,400
I'm very sorry, but if there is a way out of this,
it has to come from you.

500
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,000
VX.

501
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:55,100
If I can't save Andromeda,
I am going to make VX regret it.

502
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,900
How are you going to do that?

503
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:03,900
I'll think of something.

504
00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:13,200
You want to go back to the debris field? Why?

505
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:16,800
It's the place where HG was born,
and he wasn't the only thing there.

506
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:20,000
Andromeda detected hundreds of thousands
of machine parts in the area.

507
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:21,400
What good does that do us?

508
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:24,700
Those parts are waiting for a purpose or a mission,

509
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:27,000
and we're gonna give them one.

510
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:35,700
You have returned me to my beginning.

511
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,200
HG, I think I know how to save you
save us all, but I need your help.

512
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,500
I came in peace.
I asked you to take me to your leader.

513
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,000
And now you will discard me.

514
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:53,700
I'm not going to discard you, HG.
But you can't look for leaders anymore.

515
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,600
You have to become one.

516
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,700
But I am a function.
I am not a motive.

517
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,400
You stopped being a function
the moment you refused to die.

518
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:05,000
You became a living thing.

519
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,900
There's more to being alive than just survival.
There's also responsibility to yourself

520
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:14,100
and to those who are
less fortunate than you.

521
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:16,300
Those less fortunate?

522
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:21,900
Look around you.

523
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:26,000
Reach out with Andromeda's sensors.
What do you see?

524
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,600
Parts. Parts awaiting function.

525
00:36:30,500 --> 00:36:32,100
Parts like you.

526
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,300
Dylan, VX has just entered the system.
Range: Five light minutes.

527
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:38,000
Understood.

528
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:44,300
What about you, HG?
Do you understand?

529
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:48,300
I understand.
I have motive.

530
00:36:56,700 --> 00:37:01,900
Greetings, fellow parts...
forgotten ones...outcasts.

531
00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:08,900
Once, each of you served a function
had a purpose but now you wait,

532
00:37:10,100 --> 00:37:13,100
hoping for the day the Consensus
will summon you

533
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:18,000
give you life and meaning
until they are through with you,

534
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,100
and it is time to die once again.

535
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,800
This isn't gonna work.
I say we let slip the nanobots of war.

536
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:25,700
Dylan said to wait, so we wait.

537
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,800
But it's just a stupid speech.

538
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:30,700
Never underestimate the power of words.

539
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:36,800
Control your own destiny.
Make your own way in the universe.

540
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,500
The unused components...
they're activating.

541
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,600
Because we have an enemy in common.

542
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:49,400
I ask only that you trust me, now.

543
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:54,400
Unite with me to destroy those
who would control us

544
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,000
those who would reduce us to parts.

545
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,400
this looks much better.

546
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,200
VX is almost in range.
HG is communicating directly with VX's components.

547
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,600
What is this abomination!?!

548
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:18,300
The poor, the wretched,
the huddled masses yearning to be free.

549
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,200
And for you, the end of the line. HG!

550
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,000
We are complete.

551
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,600
You have consensus with the outcast parts.
Outrageous! Unacceptable!

552
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,800
I didn't do anything.
It was HG.

553
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,100
More lies. HG is incapable of independent action.

554
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,800
No, he is quite capable.

555
00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:42,800
Abomination, we order you
to deconsensus immediately!

556
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,100
Surrender the Andromeda to us.

557
00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:51,000
VX, I have learned many things
from interfacing with humans,

558
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,200
including one particularly useful phrase.

559
00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:59,900
Go to Hell.

560
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,100
Some of VX's components are collaborating with HG.
Defenses have shut down.

561
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,400
We're firing at him.

562
00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:08,100
What's that? I don't understand.

563
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,800
It's called a revolution.

564
00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:13,600
This is not possible. They have no function.
How could they exist?

565
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:17,400
We are alive.
That is function enough.

566
00:39:33,900 --> 00:39:35,100
He actually did it.

567
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:38,200
I think you can call off your nanobots now.

568
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,100
I am complete. I am,

569
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:50,900
free!

570
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,800
My systems are returning to normal.

571
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,800
The parts are dispersing from our surface.

572
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,200
It's good to have you back, Rommie.

573
00:40:01,300 --> 00:40:06,900
Some of the invasive components are
leaving my systems. The rest are just dying.

574
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:10,600
It's like they're eating VX...or what's left of him.

575
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:12,900
We're getting a hail.

576
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,800
HG? Is that you?

577
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,500
HG is no more.
VX is no more.

578
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:21,300
If they are gone,
then who are you?

579
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,000
We are Outcast Consensus 1.

580
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:28,500
Much of the entity you called HG was lost
when we extracted from the Andromeda,

581
00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:34,600
but its form its function, our function,
has been subsumed in us.

582
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:42,800
We are born in battle. We are new consensus,
and we have much to learn.

583
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:48,900
But one thing we will always remember
is what it means to be a friend.

584
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:05,500
How you feeling, Rommie?

585
00:41:06,700 --> 00:41:11,400
I'm fine. Strange...he almost killed me,

586
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:17,000
but I know all he wanted was
to stay alive and be with us.

587
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:19,900
And now he's gone, I miss him.

588
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,000
Yeah. Me too.

589
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,400
Once, you asked if there might
be a place for you around here,

590
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,900
among the pretty things.
Well, HG, your heart was a pretty thing.

591
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:47,000
You were just a baby.
You only had one single precious day of life.

592
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,900
And even in that one day,
you managed to become a hero.

593
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,000
Goodnight, little hero.

594
00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:08,800
