00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,119

2
00:01:05,838 --> 00:01:09,710
We could not have
been more wrong all of this.

3
00:01:16,416 --> 00:01:17,949
I'm not quite sure
what time I'll be home,

4
00:01:17,951 --> 00:01:20,485
maybe around...
7:00 or 8:00 tonight.

5
00:01:20,487 --> 00:01:22,119
Um...

6
00:01:22,121 --> 00:01:25,890
I was telling you about this...
Filming thing we got going on.

7
00:01:25,892 --> 00:01:28,592
You know, I was telling you they do
these internal communication things

8
00:01:28,594 --> 00:01:30,661
at the space agency.

9
00:01:30,663 --> 00:01:33,432
Anyway, they asked me if, um,

10
00:01:33,434 --> 00:01:35,866
they could, sort of,
have a day in the life.

11
00:01:35,868 --> 00:01:39,771
They want to do day in the life of some
of the senior members of the agencies.

12
00:01:39,773 --> 00:01:41,773
Um, I'm not...
So how does this work?

13
00:01:41,775 --> 00:01:43,974
Should... are you guys
rolling now or...?

14
00:01:43,976 --> 00:01:45,709
Yeah, that's why they're here.

15
00:01:45,711 --> 00:01:48,179
Hello, everybody,
welcome to our home.

16
00:01:48,181 --> 00:01:50,816
Um... this is
my lovely daughter, Mary.

17
00:01:50,818 --> 00:01:52,149
- Hi.
- she's a good girl.

18
00:01:52,151 --> 00:01:53,919
She's at university.

19
00:01:53,921 --> 00:01:57,087
And, uh, she's very smart
like her mom.

20
00:01:57,089 --> 00:01:59,691
Is it, like, going on the telly?

21
00:01:59,693 --> 00:02:02,694
Mm-mm.
I'm not going on telly.

22
00:02:02,696 --> 00:02:05,863
No, it's just for internal...
Communications.

23
00:02:05,865 --> 00:02:07,631
- It's so they have a kind of resource.
- Okay.

24
00:02:07,633 --> 00:02:08,733
Mm-hmm.

25
00:02:08,735 --> 00:02:10,134
Oh, right, okay.

26
00:02:10,136 --> 00:02:11,502
Okay, I'm gonna change.

27
00:02:11,504 --> 00:02:12,603
All right, sweetie.

28
00:02:12,605 --> 00:02:14,442
Okay. see you in a bit.

29
00:02:16,009 --> 00:02:17,008
She's a bit shy.

30
00:02:17,010 --> 00:02:18,109
Can I get you guys a coffee

31
00:02:18,111 --> 00:02:19,714
or a tea or...?

32
00:02:21,682 --> 00:02:26,084
Well, I mean, obviously
she's incredibly inspiring.

33
00:02:26,086 --> 00:02:29,120
Um, I think,
especially nowadays,

34
00:02:29,122 --> 00:02:31,923
uh, to, like,
have a mum who's

35
00:02:31,925 --> 00:02:36,760
the head of, you know, one of the
biggest international space agencies.

36
00:02:36,762 --> 00:02:38,597
Obviously, my mom's Canadian,

37
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:40,164
um, but my dad was British.

38
00:02:40,166 --> 00:02:42,266
They met, uh, at university.

39
00:02:42,268 --> 00:02:45,270
He was doing a semester.

40
00:02:45,272 --> 00:02:47,872
He was very special,
very special man.

41
00:02:47,874 --> 00:02:49,907
He was a peacekeeper.

42
00:02:49,909 --> 00:02:51,141
Yeah.

43
00:02:52,778 --> 00:02:54,912
Yeah.

44
00:02:54,914 --> 00:02:57,748
We don't talk him that much,
I suppose.

45
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:59,617
As much as we should.

46
00:02:59,619 --> 00:03:01,151
Oh, no.

47
00:03:01,153 --> 00:03:03,621
Um... I'm really sorry,
I think I have to get this.

48
00:03:03,623 --> 00:03:05,826
Just... sorry,
bear with me one moment.

49
00:03:07,728 --> 00:03:08,729
Hello?

50
00:03:11,731 --> 00:03:13,831
What?

51
00:03:13,833 --> 00:03:14,902
You're kidding me.

52
00:03:17,637 --> 00:03:22,007
Uh, no, I can be there
in about 25 minutes or so.

53
00:03:22,009 --> 00:03:24,174
Yeah, yeah, just, uh,
just hang tight.

54
00:03:24,176 --> 00:03:26,043
Ask... yeah, get Alex on it.

55
00:03:26,045 --> 00:03:28,680
Just tell...
Okay, good, he knows.

56
00:03:28,682 --> 00:03:31,049
No, no, no, just, uh,
just hang tight.

57
00:03:31,051 --> 00:03:33,685
Um, I'll be right there,
hang on. Okay.

58
00:03:33,687 --> 00:03:35,720
I'm so sorry, babe.

59
00:03:35,722 --> 00:03:36,721
Uh...

60
00:03:36,723 --> 00:03:37,923
Something has come up.

61
00:03:37,925 --> 00:03:39,924
I'm really sorry.
I have to go.

62
00:03:42,028 --> 00:03:44,262
ISS, be advised.

63
00:03:44,264 --> 00:03:47,799
Thermal increase detected
in nodes two and three.

64
00:03:47,801 --> 00:03:52,571
I repeat, thermal increase
detected in nodes two and three.

65
00:03:52,573 --> 00:03:56,274
Permission to attempt
top hover and reboot of node two.

66
00:03:56,276 --> 00:03:59,343
ISS, please
confirm to mission control

67
00:03:59,345 --> 00:04:02,614
when you are ready to proceed
with the module rack replacement.

68
00:04:02,616 --> 00:04:05,684
3va hatch in three, two, one.

69
00:04:08,855 --> 00:04:11,355
Unity node,
module visibility confirmed.

70
00:04:11,357 --> 00:04:14,059
Copy that, Jim.

71
00:04:14,061 --> 00:04:17,061
Jim to francois, come in.

72
00:04:17,063 --> 00:04:19,898
Reading you loud and clear, Jim.

73
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:23,335
Good 'cause you
owe me big time, over.

74
00:04:23,337 --> 00:04:25,337
ISS, copy that.

75
00:04:25,339 --> 00:04:27,104
Connecting
additional cable harnesses

76
00:04:27,106 --> 00:04:30,174
for electrical
and data systems rerouting.

77
00:04:30,176 --> 00:04:33,044
Fluid lines check confirmed
for thermal control.

78
00:04:33,046 --> 00:04:34,612
Copy that, Jim.

79
00:04:34,614 --> 00:04:36,780
Data systems routing
is good to go.

80
00:04:36,782 --> 00:04:38,015
Copy that. Making my way back...

81
00:04:40,152 --> 00:04:42,386
Receiving interference
with your last transmission.

82
00:04:42,388 --> 00:04:44,356
Can you please repeat?

83
00:04:44,358 --> 00:04:46,090
Can you confirm
a strange sound

84
00:04:46,092 --> 00:04:48,393
being picked up by our radios?

85
00:04:48,395 --> 00:04:50,794
We don't
recognize that frequency band.

86
00:04:50,796 --> 00:04:54,131
Please check and confirm
if this is a comms breach.

87
00:04:54,133 --> 00:04:56,100
Uh, that's a negative.

88
00:04:56,102 --> 00:04:57,936
All radio frequency bands
are nominal.

89
00:04:57,938 --> 00:04:58,936
Whatever that sound is,

90
00:04:58,938 --> 00:05:00,871
it's not coming from us.

91
00:05:04,311 --> 00:05:06,143
Whoa.

92
00:05:06,145 --> 00:05:08,212
Mission control,
you seeing what I'm seeing?

93
00:05:08,214 --> 00:05:10,681
We seem to
have lost your video uplink.

94
00:05:10,683 --> 00:05:13,652
Please elaborate on
your last transmission.

95
00:05:13,654 --> 00:05:17,422
It looks like some kind
of solar storm disturbance.

96
00:05:17,424 --> 00:05:19,691
Francois, do you see this?

97
00:05:19,693 --> 00:05:21,325
Jim, I see it.

98
00:05:21,327 --> 00:05:24,095
Whatever that is, it's
disrupting our communication.

99
00:05:24,097 --> 00:05:26,698
Were there any solar storms
expected to be coming our way?

100
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:27,898
That's a negative, Jim.

101
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,833
No solar storms
have been reported.

102
00:05:29,835 --> 00:05:32,003
It looks like the fourth
of July up here right now.

103
00:05:32,005 --> 00:05:33,371
Heavy vibrations.

104
00:05:33,373 --> 00:05:34,905
I can see it on the panels.

105
00:05:34,907 --> 00:05:36,073
Whoa!

106
00:05:36,075 --> 00:05:38,176
Francois, engage the airlock.

107
00:05:39,412 --> 00:05:41,011
Airlock engaged.

108
00:05:41,013 --> 00:05:42,446
I'm making my way back, but...

109
00:05:42,448 --> 00:05:44,816
This is so bright,
I'm being blinded right now.

110
00:05:44,818 --> 00:05:47,919
Jim, it looks like
your tether is becoming unstable.

111
00:05:47,921 --> 00:05:50,188
We suggest you use the handle
grips to maneuver.

112
00:05:50,190 --> 00:05:51,789
I can feel tension
on this thing.

113
00:05:51,791 --> 00:05:53,323
I'm gonna have
to disengage.

114
00:05:53,325 --> 00:05:54,758
I got to disconnect this thing
if I'm gonna get back.

115
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,227
Jim...

116
00:05:56,229 --> 00:05:58,063
I can't see anything.
My tether...

117
00:05:58,065 --> 00:06:01,366
My tether,
I can feel is tense.

118
00:06:01,368 --> 00:06:03,200
Come in, Jim.
Tell me what you see.

119
00:06:09,476 --> 00:06:11,876
It's still not known exactly

120
00:06:11,878 --> 00:06:13,945
what caused the power outage
on the ISS,

121
00:06:13,947 --> 00:06:17,114
but what's complexing is that

122
00:06:17,116 --> 00:06:18,917
all of the satellites
that were in orbit

123
00:06:18,919 --> 00:06:22,320
were affected at the exact same
moment as well.

124
00:06:22,322 --> 00:06:25,090
Now, of course,
the tragic outcome

125
00:06:25,092 --> 00:06:27,991
is that astronaut Jim Marcell
is currently missing,

126
00:06:27,993 --> 00:06:29,760
presumed dead.

127
00:06:29,762 --> 00:06:33,998
And... it's possible that
his tether was disconnected

128
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,670
during the incident.

129
00:06:37,471 --> 00:06:40,237
Uh, well, firstly, I just...

130
00:06:40,239 --> 00:06:42,474
Want to say that, uh,
I've known Jim for a long time

131
00:06:42,476 --> 00:06:45,376
so, um, obviously this
is a very difficult time,

132
00:06:45,378 --> 00:06:47,778
but we've...
We've got to get on.

133
00:06:47,780 --> 00:06:49,981
We've got to find out
what happened.

134
00:06:49,983 --> 00:06:51,482
Um...

135
00:06:51,484 --> 00:06:55,085
We have a lot of footage
that's come down

136
00:06:55,087 --> 00:06:57,188
from, um, the ISS.

137
00:06:57,190 --> 00:07:01,760
And we've got a team now that's
going through that frame by frame,

138
00:07:01,762 --> 00:07:03,927
and we don't know
what it is yet.

139
00:07:03,929 --> 00:07:06,431
Uh, we do know that it's not
a solar flare,

140
00:07:06,433 --> 00:07:09,934
we know that it's not
an electrical storm.

141
00:07:20,981 --> 00:07:22,412
This isn't the first time

142
00:07:22,414 --> 00:07:25,150
that an anomaly has appeared
above our planet.

143
00:07:25,152 --> 00:07:28,352
We first encountered it in 1990.

144
00:07:28,354 --> 00:07:31,022
And it was visible
for about two months.

145
00:07:31,024 --> 00:07:33,390
But before we could get
any further data,

146
00:07:33,392 --> 00:07:35,359
any meaningful data,

147
00:07:35,361 --> 00:07:38,530
it vanished,
never to be seen again,

148
00:07:38,532 --> 00:07:40,097
until now.

149
00:07:40,099 --> 00:07:41,833
Yeah, good morning.

150
00:07:41,835 --> 00:07:43,200
Yeah.

151
00:07:43,202 --> 00:07:44,738
Yeah, I will update you
as soon as I'm in.

152
00:07:46,438 --> 00:07:49,006
Well, um...

153
00:07:49,008 --> 00:07:50,874
Basically, when I got the call,

154
00:07:50,876 --> 00:07:54,212
um, I'd been asleep for about 45 minutes.

155
00:07:54,214 --> 00:07:56,313
I've been working on a project
for the last eight months,

156
00:07:56,315 --> 00:07:59,417
um, so it's been pretty intense.

157
00:07:59,419 --> 00:08:01,486
They wouldn't tell me
anything on the phone,

158
00:08:01,488 --> 00:08:03,421
space agency protocol,

159
00:08:03,423 --> 00:08:05,489
only that it was
of a classified nature,

160
00:08:05,491 --> 00:08:08,893
which requires my expertise in
the field of gravitational waves

161
00:08:08,895 --> 00:08:10,527
and space anomalies.

162
00:08:10,529 --> 00:08:13,398
The idea that this anomaly

163
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,001
is emitting some form of
gravitational wave surprised us all,

164
00:08:17,003 --> 00:08:21,472
and it was definitely outside
anything predicted by science.

165
00:08:21,474 --> 00:08:24,876
What could cause
such a phenomena?

166
00:08:24,878 --> 00:08:27,611
I don't know yet.

167
00:08:27,613 --> 00:08:30,881
This morning,
the space agency reported that

168
00:08:30,883 --> 00:08:34,152
astronaut Jim Marcel was killed
by incoming space debris

169
00:08:34,154 --> 00:08:37,254
whilst on a maintenance mission
on the ISS.

170
00:08:37,256 --> 00:08:40,524
A space agency spokesperson
said this is a tragic incident.

171
00:08:40,526 --> 00:08:43,527
But Jim Marcell was
passionate about his job,

172
00:08:43,529 --> 00:08:45,629
and their condolences
go to his family.

173
00:08:50,135 --> 00:08:52,070
A name was given
to this anomaly.

174
00:08:52,072 --> 00:08:53,437
We started calling it
"The Void",

175
00:08:53,439 --> 00:08:57,041
which is way better
than "anomaly 234-b."

176
00:08:57,043 --> 00:08:59,409
It had the appearance...

177
00:08:59,411 --> 00:09:02,113
Well, similar to the remnants
of a supernova.

178
00:09:02,115 --> 00:09:04,382
But, due to its proximity
to earth,

179
00:09:04,384 --> 00:09:07,018
we knew it was something
completely different.

180
00:09:07,020 --> 00:09:08,619
But during its appearance,

181
00:09:08,621 --> 00:09:12,257
we also detected
a short-burst radio wave

182
00:09:12,259 --> 00:09:14,425
and the signal was...
It was...

183
00:09:14,427 --> 00:09:17,161
Transmitted in a very
specific frequency,

184
00:09:17,163 --> 00:09:18,495
1420 megahertz.

185
00:09:34,079 --> 00:09:37,148
This 1420 megahertz frequency,

186
00:09:37,150 --> 00:09:40,484
a very strange
and complex phenomenon,

187
00:09:40,486 --> 00:09:42,155
also known as
the "hydrogen line,"

188
00:09:43,490 --> 00:09:45,523
the radio astronomers

189
00:09:45,525 --> 00:09:48,258
who first recorded it,

190
00:09:48,260 --> 00:09:51,995
they chased their tails trying
to find the source of the...

191
00:09:51,997 --> 00:09:53,498
of the signal

192
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:55,166
to no avail.

193
00:09:55,168 --> 00:09:56,337
And then it disappeared.

194
00:09:58,538 --> 00:10:01,272
All these years later,

195
00:10:01,274 --> 00:10:03,441
we're still trying
to find the source.

196
00:10:05,145 --> 00:10:07,378
Never reoccurred.

197
00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:10,648
If we miss any opportunity
to investigate this now,

198
00:10:10,650 --> 00:10:14,484
we may have to wait for another
25 years for it to reappear,

199
00:10:14,486 --> 00:10:17,388
if it reappears.

200
00:10:17,390 --> 00:10:20,224
And what we need to know is,

201
00:10:20,226 --> 00:10:21,993
who put it there?

202
00:10:21,995 --> 00:10:24,428
Where did it come from?

203
00:10:24,430 --> 00:10:26,697
Is it intelligent?

204
00:10:26,699 --> 00:10:28,432
Is it trying to
communicate with us?

205
00:10:28,434 --> 00:10:31,337
I mean, these are the questions
that we need answers to.

206
00:10:34,073 --> 00:10:36,206
So we have reconnaissance
probes in orbit

207
00:10:36,208 --> 00:10:40,277
to do routine external examinations of
spacecraft and satellites in orbit,

208
00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:42,747
as well as
planetary exploration,

209
00:10:42,749 --> 00:10:44,382
when the time comes.

210
00:10:44,384 --> 00:10:46,383
So I made a call to authorize

211
00:10:46,385 --> 00:10:49,287
a probe be sent on a recon
mission into The Void.

212
00:10:56,261 --> 00:10:59,196
Maneuvering in space
isn't quite as simple

213
00:10:59,198 --> 00:11:01,465
as it's often portrayed
in the movies.

214
00:11:01,467 --> 00:11:05,436
Um, to move from
one orbit to another

215
00:11:05,438 --> 00:11:07,571
takes quite a lot of energy.

216
00:11:07,573 --> 00:11:12,744
So we had to...
Adjust the craft's orbit

217
00:11:12,746 --> 00:11:17,514
to intersect
with that of The Void.

218
00:11:17,516 --> 00:11:19,783
If something goes wrong here
with the probes,

219
00:11:19,785 --> 00:11:21,319
that might be it.

220
00:11:21,321 --> 00:11:24,158
It might be our only chance
to have a look.

221
00:12:31,223 --> 00:12:34,859
We always expected
to lose communication,

222
00:12:34,861 --> 00:12:39,196
just not necessarily that soon.

223
00:12:39,198 --> 00:12:42,166
But, thankfully,
all is not lost.

224
00:12:42,168 --> 00:12:45,702
Our probes are fitted with
state-of-the-art, high-definition cameras

225
00:12:45,704 --> 00:12:49,106
that stream directly
to our servers here.

226
00:12:49,108 --> 00:12:54,612
And, even in that brief,
briefest of windows,

227
00:12:54,614 --> 00:12:59,517
we were able
to maintain a signal,

228
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:01,188
and we captured imagery.

229
00:13:04,424 --> 00:13:07,457
As our probe moved closer,

230
00:13:07,459 --> 00:13:10,293
we noticed this
tunnel-like structure,

231
00:13:10,295 --> 00:13:12,696
just directly ahead of us.

232
00:13:12,698 --> 00:13:16,433
Now, have a look at this
light at the center.

233
00:13:16,435 --> 00:13:21,538
This is light and cosmic matter
entering and leaving,

234
00:13:21,540 --> 00:13:24,742
so what we're potentially
looking at here

235
00:13:24,744 --> 00:13:26,811
is a wormhole.

236
00:13:26,813 --> 00:13:30,748
And, you know, we all know that
there is an entrance and an exit,

237
00:13:30,750 --> 00:13:32,917
so if this indeed
a wormhole,

238
00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:35,152
then the next question is,

239
00:13:35,154 --> 00:13:38,455
what is on the other side
of The Void?

240
00:13:38,457 --> 00:13:41,224
It looks like we're dealing
with a wormhole.

241
00:13:41,226 --> 00:13:43,494
We still need to run more data

242
00:13:43,496 --> 00:13:46,730
and have a look over all the
images that we've been sent back,

243
00:13:46,732 --> 00:13:51,168
just to know exactly
what we're dealing with here.

244
00:13:51,170 --> 00:13:53,937
Technically, this
is not a wormhole, huh?

245
00:13:53,939 --> 00:13:56,574
Well, not in my opinion.

246
00:13:56,576 --> 00:13:58,643
In the case of The Void...

247
00:13:58,645 --> 00:14:04,447
Well, we are sure
that an entry point exists.

248
00:14:04,449 --> 00:14:06,617
We call it "the throat."

249
00:14:06,619 --> 00:14:10,220
The question is whether
a second throat exists,

250
00:14:10,222 --> 00:14:12,190
an exit point.

251
00:14:12,192 --> 00:14:15,792
Would whatever we send in there
emerge the other side

252
00:14:15,794 --> 00:14:19,366
or would it remain stuck there
for eternity?

253
00:14:22,202 --> 00:14:24,601
Our finding was
a little bit like, uh,

254
00:14:24,603 --> 00:14:27,772
jumping and looking
over a really high wall,

255
00:14:27,774 --> 00:14:31,209
but only getting a glimpse
of what's on the other side.

256
00:14:31,211 --> 00:14:34,744
However, each time you jump, you
capture a little bit more information.

257
00:14:34,746 --> 00:14:40,450
And what began to emerge for us
was a kind of flash frame

258
00:14:40,452 --> 00:14:43,753
of what appeared to be a
spherical shape in the distance.

259
00:14:43,755 --> 00:14:46,523
Now, upon closer examination

260
00:14:46,525 --> 00:14:49,527
of this flash frame,

261
00:14:49,529 --> 00:14:55,298
we began to see the potential for
this spherical shape to be...

262
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:56,469
Another planet.

263
00:15:01,607 --> 00:15:07,545
We could be looking at the first
contact with intelligent life.

264
00:15:07,547 --> 00:15:09,850
That is a major possibility
that we're looking at right now.

265
00:15:11,717 --> 00:15:13,484
Now we have something,

266
00:15:13,486 --> 00:15:16,420
something really big.

267
00:15:16,422 --> 00:15:18,623
Perhaps too big.

268
00:15:18,625 --> 00:15:20,791
I don't think we're prepared

269
00:15:20,793 --> 00:15:23,628
or have the resources
to investigate further.

270
00:15:23,630 --> 00:15:26,596
I mean,
something of this magnitude.

271
00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:33,638
I want to send
our astronauts up there.

272
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,940
I understand what happened to Jim Marcell.
I can appreciate that.

273
00:15:35,942 --> 00:15:40,610
I want it noted
that I flatly object.

274
00:15:40,612 --> 00:15:43,614
I cannot support that.

275
00:15:43,616 --> 00:15:45,383
The reality is that
we have to get information.

276
00:15:45,385 --> 00:15:47,551
How are we going to get it?

277
00:15:47,553 --> 00:15:49,353
We can't continue
to send probes up there,

278
00:15:49,355 --> 00:15:51,522
they don't have the capability.

279
00:15:51,524 --> 00:15:54,524
We need to be
in communication

280
00:15:54,526 --> 00:15:56,661
with somebody
on the other side.

281
00:15:56,663 --> 00:15:59,397
Same conversation
for the next two years.

282
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:02,667
If we miss the window,
we miss our opportunity.

283
00:16:02,669 --> 00:16:04,067
What stage are the probes at?

284
00:16:04,069 --> 00:16:05,670
What stage are we at
with their development?

285
00:16:05,672 --> 00:16:07,872
We've lost them.
They went through,

286
00:16:07,874 --> 00:16:09,706
and we have no signal
whatsoever.

287
00:16:09,708 --> 00:16:11,642
Totally interrupted,
totally blacked out.

288
00:16:11,644 --> 00:16:15,312
It say here that so far we've
lost a total of, uh,

289
00:16:15,314 --> 00:16:19,950
$3.5 million in technology
with the probes.

290
00:16:19,952 --> 00:16:23,421
It's not a bottom-line thing here,
we're not talking about a spreadsheet,

291
00:16:23,423 --> 00:16:26,757
we're talking about probably one of the
most important things that has happened

292
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:29,326
in... in space exploration,

293
00:16:29,328 --> 00:16:30,827
and I think we need to
move forward on that

294
00:16:30,829 --> 00:16:32,562
and I think we need to
move forward now.

295
00:16:32,564 --> 00:16:33,797
What do you suggest?

296
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:35,633
Our immediate focus

297
00:16:35,635 --> 00:16:37,968
is to define this mission.

298
00:16:37,970 --> 00:16:41,538
Several ideas were discussed, but nobody's
interested in sending more probes.

299
00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:45,343
The determination was to
finance a full mission.

300
00:16:45,345 --> 00:16:48,378
And we were able to raise
a large sum of funding.

301
00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:50,648
In fact, the largest sum
of funding ever raised

302
00:16:50,650 --> 00:16:53,551
in the history of
space exploration.

303
00:16:53,553 --> 00:16:55,753
Because...

304
00:16:55,755 --> 00:17:00,023
The mere glimpse of a
potentially habitable planet,

305
00:17:00,025 --> 00:17:03,694
well, I have to tell you, that
raised an awful lot of interest.

306
00:17:03,696 --> 00:17:06,796
Regardless, it was agreed upon
to keep this mission classified,

307
00:17:06,798 --> 00:17:07,932
for now.

308
00:17:07,934 --> 00:17:09,800
A complete media blackout,

309
00:17:09,802 --> 00:17:12,069
until we have
a greater understanding

310
00:17:12,071 --> 00:17:15,372
of what exactly it is
we're dealing with.

311
00:17:15,374 --> 00:17:18,842
The first step we took was to
provide a cover story to the media

312
00:17:18,844 --> 00:17:22,879
in order to provide a distraction
as part of the media blackout.

313
00:17:22,881 --> 00:17:25,683
In time, we will provide
full disclosure to the media,

314
00:17:25,685 --> 00:17:28,852
but, right now, the space agency
feels that the public

315
00:17:28,854 --> 00:17:33,023
is just not ready to know about
the mission involving The Void.

316
00:17:38,930 --> 00:17:41,465
This notion of the...

317
00:17:41,467 --> 00:17:44,568
Space agency's
to send a human astronaut

318
00:17:44,570 --> 00:17:48,038
through to the other side...

319
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,408
It's not going to happen.

320
00:17:51,410 --> 00:17:56,414
Because, physically,
we as human beings

321
00:17:56,416 --> 00:18:00,784
couldn't possibly endure
the extreme stresses

322
00:18:00,786 --> 00:18:04,088
that such a venture
would entail.

323
00:18:04,090 --> 00:18:06,122
For decades, we've
been developing suits

324
00:18:06,124 --> 00:18:09,493
to protect our astronauts
from the dangers of space.

325
00:18:09,495 --> 00:18:12,029
What we're gonna need
to do now to...

326
00:18:12,031 --> 00:18:16,132
To protect our astronauts from travelling
through The Void is something...

327
00:18:16,134 --> 00:18:19,372
Quite frankly, I don't think we have
the technological capabilities to do.

328
00:18:21,607 --> 00:18:26,811
As I've implied
a few times before,

329
00:18:26,813 --> 00:18:32,715
sending a human astronaut
would be suicidal.

330
00:18:32,717 --> 00:18:36,853
In order to survive a wormhole,

331
00:18:36,855 --> 00:18:40,057
he or she would have to endure

332
00:18:40,059 --> 00:18:43,663
gravitational waves that would
spaghetti-fy them.

333
00:18:46,198 --> 00:18:48,698
The only feasible,

334
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:51,001
though problematic, solution

335
00:18:51,003 --> 00:18:53,907
would be to use
robotics or probes.

336
00:19:34,514 --> 00:19:35,946
People all over
the world are reporting

337
00:19:35,948 --> 00:19:38,282
strange activities in the skies.

338
00:19:38,284 --> 00:19:40,783
Civilians from New York,
Australia and Asia

339
00:19:40,785 --> 00:19:42,520
are reporting what can
only be described

340
00:19:42,522 --> 00:19:44,788
as a terrifying distortion
of clouds.

341
00:19:44,790 --> 00:19:46,256
I think they're doing
some kind of project.

342
00:19:46,258 --> 00:19:49,225
Maybe they're testing some
new weather machine.

343
00:19:49,227 --> 00:19:50,828
It was pulsating.

344
00:19:50,830 --> 00:19:53,597
Like, with light kind of.

345
00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:55,765
It just, like... you could see
the clouds moving.

346
00:19:55,767 --> 00:19:57,201
It's really scary.

347
00:20:04,274 --> 00:20:05,943
We're receiving new data
from The Void.

348
00:20:05,945 --> 00:20:07,176
We weren't expecting this.

349
00:20:07,178 --> 00:20:08,515
Not so soon.

350
00:20:21,259 --> 00:20:23,694
So over recent weeks,

351
00:20:23,696 --> 00:20:26,763
our orbiting satellites
have been observing The Void

352
00:20:26,765 --> 00:20:30,199
and collecting
as much data as possible.

353
00:20:30,201 --> 00:20:33,169
We can see that The Void
has been emitting

354
00:20:33,171 --> 00:20:35,638
a series of invisible waves.

355
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,242
And it's this
invisible wavelength

356
00:20:38,244 --> 00:20:41,311
that has been
growing and expanding

357
00:20:41,313 --> 00:20:44,848
at a very, very fast rate.

358
00:20:44,850 --> 00:20:47,885
And we believe
that this activity

359
00:20:47,887 --> 00:20:49,753
occurred at the same time

360
00:20:49,755 --> 00:20:51,921
as the strange dark orbs

361
00:20:51,923 --> 00:20:54,992
that have been appearing
in our skies.

362
00:20:54,994 --> 00:20:57,860
So we have, um, run this
information through

363
00:20:57,862 --> 00:20:59,830
our simulator to predict
its activity

364
00:20:59,832 --> 00:21:01,898
based on what we currently know.

365
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:07,170
The simulation is
forecasting a storm

366
00:21:07,172 --> 00:21:10,206
of invisible forces,

367
00:21:10,208 --> 00:21:13,176
which could consist of
dark matter and velocity fields

368
00:21:13,178 --> 00:21:16,981
and other unknown fields
and waves

369
00:21:16,983 --> 00:21:18,051
that we know nothing about.

370
00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:24,621
So when this storm reaches us,

371
00:21:24,623 --> 00:21:26,756
our planet will be in the midst

372
00:21:26,758 --> 00:21:31,130
of what could be
a huge cosmic wave.

373
00:21:36,936 --> 00:21:39,269
Since the appearance of
the black orbs in our skies,

374
00:21:39,271 --> 00:21:42,071
each nation's defense department
has declared the situation

375
00:21:42,073 --> 00:21:45,109
as a global security threat.

376
00:21:45,111 --> 00:21:48,344
The defense department reached
out to us in the space agency.

377
00:21:48,346 --> 00:21:52,849
They realized our problem with
sending astronauts through The Void.

378
00:21:52,851 --> 00:21:54,350
They believed
they had a solution

379
00:21:54,352 --> 00:21:57,687
and they directed us to their
transhumanism division.

380
00:22:39,098 --> 00:22:41,999
When we learned
about the space agency's problem

381
00:22:42,001 --> 00:22:44,134
of sending astronauts
through The Void,

382
00:22:44,136 --> 00:22:46,369
we offered our classified
technologies as a solution,

383
00:22:46,371 --> 00:22:50,006
but, frankly, I don't think
they have an alternative.

384
00:22:50,008 --> 00:22:52,376
Within the defense research
and tech divisions

385
00:22:52,378 --> 00:22:54,211
were classified programs,

386
00:22:54,213 --> 00:22:56,746
and they were taking place within
the areas of neuroscience,

387
00:22:56,748 --> 00:23:00,250
transhumanism and synthetic
biology for advanced soldiers.

388
00:23:00,252 --> 00:23:02,886
Now, you see, these programs
were classified

389
00:23:02,888 --> 00:23:04,388
for the obvious reasons
of ethics

390
00:23:04,390 --> 00:23:07,090
and were definitely not
sanctioned officially

391
00:23:07,092 --> 00:23:08,294
by the government as such.

392
00:23:11,330 --> 00:23:13,796
Particularly,
the Homan 2.0 program

393
00:23:13,798 --> 00:23:15,198
because the nature
of the technology,

394
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,167
utilizing the fusion
of human cells

395
00:23:18,169 --> 00:23:20,471
with synthetic biochemical
structures

396
00:23:20,473 --> 00:23:25,074
to create a new body powered by
the soldier's preserved brain.

397
00:23:31,182 --> 00:23:33,183
The brain can live
without a body,

398
00:23:33,185 --> 00:23:35,953
but the body can't live
without its brain.

399
00:23:35,955 --> 00:23:40,189
It's that simple notion which
drives the Homan 2.0 project.

400
00:23:40,191 --> 00:23:42,926
Our aim was to
create a prosthesis

401
00:23:42,928 --> 00:23:44,962
that could house
the human brain,

402
00:23:44,964 --> 00:23:46,929
a substitute body.

403
00:23:46,931 --> 00:23:50,099
But most importantly,
we wanted it to be recognizable

404
00:23:50,101 --> 00:23:51,303
as a human.

405
00:23:54,907 --> 00:23:57,444
Okay, I'm gonna up the back
if you want to have a look.

406
00:24:02,281 --> 00:24:06,116
Okay, so this compartment
here's gonna house the brain.

407
00:24:06,118 --> 00:24:09,285
And you see the red
jell-o-looking substance here?

408
00:24:09,287 --> 00:24:11,254
So that's actually
a coolant gel,

409
00:24:11,256 --> 00:24:13,290
and it travels
throughout the body,

410
00:24:13,292 --> 00:24:16,392
and it houses millions
of tiny fiber optic threads

411
00:24:16,394 --> 00:24:19,963
connecting the brain right down
to all the synthetic muscles,

412
00:24:19,965 --> 00:24:23,099
and even to really
superficial sensors.

413
00:24:23,101 --> 00:24:25,002
But the brain's gonna
sit in here.

414
00:24:25,004 --> 00:24:27,303
And the gel also acts
as a shock absorber,

415
00:24:27,305 --> 00:24:31,542
so should the Homan 2.0
receive any impact,

416
00:24:31,544 --> 00:24:34,781
the gel will dissipate any force
protecting the brain.

417
00:24:36,448 --> 00:24:38,115
But here let me,
let me show you this.

418
00:24:38,117 --> 00:24:39,582
Okay.

419
00:24:43,121 --> 00:24:45,355
Don't worry, he's not alive.

420
00:24:45,357 --> 00:24:47,357
That's just a synaptic
nerve reflex.

421
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,261
Uh... but a transplant hasn't
been made into this body yet,

422
00:24:51,263 --> 00:24:54,398
so, essentially,
it's just a body.

423
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,803
Um... it's like... a bit like
a computer without a hard drive.

424
00:25:04,877 --> 00:25:07,610
In the recent week, we
have covertly searched the globe

425
00:25:07,612 --> 00:25:12,182
for candidates who are willing
to push the barriers of science.

426
00:25:12,184 --> 00:25:15,852
Now, officially, the selected
candidates will be on a mission

427
00:25:15,854 --> 00:25:19,255
to the international space
station to conduct research.

428
00:25:19,257 --> 00:25:22,492
However, once the transplant
takes place,

429
00:25:22,494 --> 00:25:25,031
they can never return
to the lives they left behind.

430
00:25:27,498 --> 00:25:29,332
Their families will be informed

431
00:25:29,334 --> 00:25:32,168
and will be given
an appropriate explanation

432
00:25:32,170 --> 00:25:36,406
that will, of course, protect the
mission and the space agency.

433
00:25:36,408 --> 00:25:39,475
A closed-casket funeral
will take place

434
00:25:39,477 --> 00:25:42,148
to provide closure
to the families.

435
00:25:44,449 --> 00:25:47,650
Now, for the record, um...

436
00:25:47,652 --> 00:25:49,986
Do you understand the classified
nature of this mission

437
00:25:49,988 --> 00:25:53,256
and the legal non-disclosure
agreements that you sign,

438
00:25:53,258 --> 00:25:56,392
which prohibit you from ever
discussing this projects

439
00:25:56,394 --> 00:25:58,094
to anyone outside of this room?

440
00:25:58,096 --> 00:25:59,996
I understand.

441
00:25:59,998 --> 00:26:02,933
Then you understand the
full nature of this program?

442
00:26:02,935 --> 00:26:05,167
Yes, I'm fully aware.

443
00:26:05,169 --> 00:26:07,937
And what do you feel
your strongest asset is

444
00:26:07,939 --> 00:26:10,173
that'd you be bringing
to this mission?

445
00:26:10,175 --> 00:26:14,444
I'm hoping to bring to this
mission my virology expertise.

446
00:26:14,446 --> 00:26:16,413
Military background,

447
00:26:16,415 --> 00:26:18,548
and in the short time I've been
in the space program,

448
00:26:18,550 --> 00:26:20,650
I have rised the ranks faster

449
00:26:20,652 --> 00:26:23,920
than anyone in the history
of the space program.

450
00:26:23,922 --> 00:26:25,222
But you know this.

451
00:26:25,224 --> 00:26:29,025
It's... it's the unknown.

452
00:26:29,027 --> 00:26:32,696
It's the possibility of
something else out there for us.

453
00:26:32,698 --> 00:26:36,934
Even though there's some...

454
00:26:36,936 --> 00:26:41,071
Pretty scary risks...

455
00:26:41,073 --> 00:26:46,342
To know that there's a chance
to do so much more.

456
00:26:46,344 --> 00:26:49,012
Well, I think it's in our nature

457
00:26:49,014 --> 00:26:52,182
to want to rise
above our limits.

458
00:26:52,184 --> 00:26:55,118
I feel that I want to do
something great, you know?

459
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,424
Like, I want to be like my dad
and be remembered for something.

460
00:27:03,562 --> 00:27:07,263
Sure, I've spent
the great majority of my life

461
00:27:07,265 --> 00:27:10,367
in a chair.

462
00:27:10,369 --> 00:27:13,102
Half of my body does not work,

463
00:27:13,104 --> 00:27:14,670
I do not want sympathy for that.

464
00:27:14,672 --> 00:27:17,506
I have come to terms with that.

465
00:27:17,508 --> 00:27:21,311
I've made my peace with that.

466
00:27:21,313 --> 00:27:23,213
Sure, for...

467
00:27:23,215 --> 00:27:27,050
Also for most of my life,
I have dreamed

468
00:27:27,052 --> 00:27:31,620
of being and doing
something more.

469
00:27:31,622 --> 00:27:34,291
And part of coming to terms
with my situation

470
00:27:34,293 --> 00:27:36,493
is resigning myself
to the fact that that,

471
00:27:36,495 --> 00:27:39,295
that is not something that could
happen, happen for me.

472
00:27:39,297 --> 00:27:43,500
I will not... be...

473
00:27:43,502 --> 00:27:46,535
The person I thought I could be.

474
00:27:46,537 --> 00:27:48,038
What you're doing
right now, sir,

475
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,339
is presenting me with a chance

476
00:27:49,341 --> 00:27:52,009
to fulfill that dream,

477
00:27:52,011 --> 00:27:54,244
that desire.

478
00:27:54,246 --> 00:27:57,347
I have cancer, I...

479
00:27:57,349 --> 00:28:00,583
If my body is limiting me,
then I need to go beyond that.

480
00:28:00,585 --> 00:28:02,418
This is the only way
I can do it.

481
00:28:02,420 --> 00:28:03,753
Are you sure that you're aware

482
00:28:03,755 --> 00:28:05,554
that this is...

483
00:28:05,556 --> 00:28:07,256
A one-way ticket?

484
00:28:07,258 --> 00:28:10,327
We select, not only
on physical prowess,

485
00:28:10,329 --> 00:28:13,163
but also on
the ability to emote,

486
00:28:13,165 --> 00:28:17,099
to... to be empathetic.

487
00:28:17,101 --> 00:28:20,404
Could I go through
with the procedure?

488
00:28:20,406 --> 00:28:23,473
There's just too many ethical
issues to think about.

489
00:28:23,475 --> 00:28:26,542
There would have to be
a massive, massive reason

490
00:28:26,544 --> 00:28:28,677
for me to go ahead
with something like that.

491
00:28:28,679 --> 00:28:31,747
And, uh, I can't think of one.

492
00:28:31,749 --> 00:28:34,650
So, no, couldn't do it.

493
00:28:42,061 --> 00:28:45,262
The subjects would
have to pass a series of tests

494
00:28:45,264 --> 00:28:48,631
as well as internal exams
from our psychologist,

495
00:28:48,633 --> 00:28:52,369
and fitness and medical checks.

496
00:28:52,371 --> 00:28:55,138
The process in itself
is painless.

497
00:28:55,140 --> 00:28:57,741
The subject will be administered
a cocktail of drugs

498
00:28:57,743 --> 00:28:59,542
by I.V. Drips,

499
00:28:59,544 --> 00:29:02,712
which will stop the heart
for a few hours.

500
00:29:02,714 --> 00:29:05,648
Simulating a peaceful death.

501
00:29:05,650 --> 00:29:07,516
The most time-consuming part

502
00:29:07,518 --> 00:29:13,223
is the wiring up, the remapping
of the artificial spinal cords,

503
00:29:13,225 --> 00:29:16,693
connecting to the brain, thus
allowing for mind-body communication

504
00:29:16,695 --> 00:29:18,160
to function,

505
00:29:18,162 --> 00:29:20,796
very much like it does
in each of us.

506
00:29:20,798 --> 00:29:23,099
What you need to
understand is...

507
00:29:23,101 --> 00:29:24,501
It's this fusion process

508
00:29:24,503 --> 00:29:26,469
where the, where the brain

509
00:29:26,471 --> 00:29:29,473
imprints with the synthetic body
and comes together,

510
00:29:29,475 --> 00:29:33,310
that's the creation
of the Homan 2.0.

511
00:29:33,312 --> 00:29:35,411
That's the marvel.

512
00:29:35,413 --> 00:29:36,646
But we must remember,

513
00:29:36,648 --> 00:29:39,815
these Homan 2.0s
aren't entirely mortal.

514
00:29:39,817 --> 00:29:43,686
The brain also degenerates
over a period of time.

515
00:29:43,688 --> 00:29:48,257
Now... the difference
being that, unlike humans,

516
00:29:48,259 --> 00:29:50,159
their bodies last much longer,

517
00:29:50,161 --> 00:29:52,262
so the period of life
is extended for much longer,

518
00:29:52,264 --> 00:29:55,298
but not forever.

519
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:59,202
The vetting process for the human
2.0 program is extremely high.

520
00:29:59,204 --> 00:30:01,638
Basically these candidates
will become ambassadors,

521
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,241
representing the human race
on the other side,

522
00:30:04,243 --> 00:30:08,177
and are selected based on their
extraordinary cognitive abilities.

523
00:30:20,191 --> 00:30:24,593
We only have two synthetics
available for this program,

524
00:30:24,595 --> 00:30:28,430
so the selection process
has been extremely critical.

525
00:30:28,432 --> 00:30:30,934
We've decided to action
the first transplant

526
00:30:30,936 --> 00:30:34,538
before making
the second selection.

527
00:30:34,540 --> 00:30:36,740
For the first transplant,

528
00:30:36,742 --> 00:30:38,841
uh, Carl Roberts.

529
00:30:38,843 --> 00:30:42,878
He's, um, not as academic
perhaps as the other candidates,

530
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,782
but his cognitive skills
are, are...

531
00:30:46,784 --> 00:30:49,552
Beyond our expectations.

532
00:30:49,554 --> 00:30:51,921
When I opened that bit of paper,
it-it...

533
00:30:51,923 --> 00:30:53,756
It contained the information
I wanted it to

534
00:30:53,758 --> 00:30:55,724
and I was accepted.

535
00:30:55,726 --> 00:30:57,226
Man.

536
00:30:57,228 --> 00:30:58,794
Yeah, that is everything
I wanted, man.

537
00:30:58,796 --> 00:31:00,830
I'm... I didn't know if I'd said

538
00:31:00,832 --> 00:31:03,399
everything I needed to say
in that interview.

539
00:31:03,401 --> 00:31:05,635
I can't describe the excitement
I feel right now.

540
00:31:05,637 --> 00:31:07,303
I mean, I'm gonna
get out of this chair.

541
00:31:07,305 --> 00:31:09,539
I'm ready.

542
00:31:09,541 --> 00:31:10,543
Bring it on.

543
00:31:11,976 --> 00:31:14,677
He has a certain hunger

544
00:31:14,679 --> 00:31:17,280
that this requires.

545
00:31:17,282 --> 00:31:19,648
It's that, um...

546
00:31:19,650 --> 00:31:23,653
Sense of adventure that
will drive this mission.

547
00:31:23,655 --> 00:31:26,488
And we're very,
very pleased that, uh,

548
00:31:26,490 --> 00:31:27,592
that he's onboard.

549
00:31:33,564 --> 00:31:35,732
Today I'm having
a full-body scan

550
00:31:35,734 --> 00:31:37,434
to allow the Homan 2.0 body

551
00:31:37,436 --> 00:31:40,570
to be as close to me as
possible, warts and all.

552
00:31:40,572 --> 00:31:43,340
Apparently, the agents think that
if first contact to be made,

553
00:31:43,342 --> 00:31:45,641
then it should be in human form

554
00:31:45,643 --> 00:31:48,544
so that the extraterrestrials
would know what we look like.

555
00:31:48,546 --> 00:31:51,781
It's, uh, it's lucky I'm so
attractive, don't you think?

556
00:31:58,756 --> 00:32:01,590
So the bodyshell
is a breakthrough

557
00:32:01,592 --> 00:32:03,926
in nanomaterial technology.

558
00:32:03,928 --> 00:32:05,962
It's made of
a military-grade grapheme,

559
00:32:05,964 --> 00:32:08,330
so millions of its tiny fibers

560
00:32:08,332 --> 00:32:12,034
are woven to make
the bodyshell impenetrable,

561
00:32:12,036 --> 00:32:15,538
yet it can also maintain
a flexibility,

562
00:32:15,540 --> 00:32:17,773
which is important
for some areas,

563
00:32:17,775 --> 00:32:20,843
uh, such as the joints.

564
00:32:20,845 --> 00:32:23,679
Its eyes use nano-based optics,

565
00:32:23,681 --> 00:32:27,917
which allow the retina to adjust to
several different lighting conditions.

566
00:32:27,919 --> 00:32:31,388
And, yeah, you are
probably wondering why

567
00:32:31,390 --> 00:32:33,657
the Homan 2.0 is breathing.

568
00:32:33,659 --> 00:32:35,992
Uh, well, this is just
one of the many features

569
00:32:35,994 --> 00:32:39,329
incorporated to help
feel more familiar.

570
00:32:39,331 --> 00:32:41,798
The breathing effect
is actually caused by

571
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,634
a mechanism within
the synthetic body, um,

572
00:32:44,636 --> 00:32:46,669
to help with thermal regulation.

573
00:32:46,671 --> 00:32:50,674
A tight regulation of glucose
and oxygen metabolism

574
00:32:50,676 --> 00:32:53,709
is essential for
brain physiology.

575
00:32:53,711 --> 00:32:57,746
So we developed a compound
called "z02h",

576
00:32:57,748 --> 00:33:01,818
which releases tiny amounts
of electrochems into the brain.

577
00:33:01,820 --> 00:33:04,654
This compound, essentially,

578
00:33:04,656 --> 00:33:07,791
it mimics the properties
of glucose and oxygen,

579
00:33:07,793 --> 00:33:11,927
therefore fueling the brain and
keeping it alive organically.

580
00:33:26,544 --> 00:33:28,744
The original
design of the spacecraft

581
00:33:28,746 --> 00:33:30,980
was intended
for human astronauts,

582
00:33:30,982 --> 00:33:35,017
so we now stripped it bare
of any hardware or technology

583
00:33:35,019 --> 00:33:36,719
needed for life-support systems,

584
00:33:36,721 --> 00:33:39,988
as the 2.0 human group
won't need it,

585
00:33:39,990 --> 00:33:43,760
therefore making it
smaller and lighter,

586
00:33:43,762 --> 00:33:46,463
which means it's faster

587
00:33:46,465 --> 00:33:48,697
and it uses less fuel.

588
00:33:48,699 --> 00:33:50,867
They will be jacked
into the sockets

589
00:33:50,869 --> 00:33:53,102
so that we can monitor
their diagnostics.

590
00:33:53,104 --> 00:33:56,539
But it also means that
we can feed information

591
00:33:56,541 --> 00:33:59,609
directly into their
cerebral cortex.

592
00:33:59,611 --> 00:34:02,681
I mean, that's a remarkable
thing, don't you think?

593
00:34:09,954 --> 00:34:13,856
First contact, of course, is of the
utmost importance, how it's presented.

594
00:34:13,858 --> 00:34:15,658
Concern for us:

595
00:34:15,660 --> 00:34:17,961
What are we communicating to?

596
00:34:17,963 --> 00:34:20,829
What exactly are
we going to discover

597
00:34:20,831 --> 00:34:23,566
when we make contact with a...

598
00:34:23,568 --> 00:34:27,003
Intelligent extraterrestrial
life form?

599
00:34:27,005 --> 00:34:30,874
Are we thinking in terms
of a human?

600
00:34:30,876 --> 00:34:33,475
Um... perhaps a microbe?

601
00:34:33,477 --> 00:34:35,512
It's very, very difficult
for us.

602
00:34:35,514 --> 00:34:39,716
So what we've done is we've put
together a golden archive drive.

603
00:34:39,718 --> 00:34:43,051
This is an upgrade,
it has, um, more visuals,

604
00:34:43,053 --> 00:34:46,622
more sound, videos.

605
00:34:46,624 --> 00:34:49,725
And, uh, well, hopefully,
when we do make first contact,

606
00:34:49,727 --> 00:34:52,028
we will be able to communicate.

607
00:34:52,030 --> 00:34:56,966
And all of the images,
the sounds, uh...

608
00:34:56,968 --> 00:34:59,736
An essence of who we are,

609
00:34:59,738 --> 00:35:02,504
and our intention.

610
00:35:04,742 --> 00:35:06,608
Oh, no, no, no,
it's good, it's good.

611
00:35:06,610 --> 00:35:07,612
I'm all right, sir.

612
00:35:14,753 --> 00:35:16,218
- Thank you.
- There you go.

613
00:35:17,956 --> 00:35:19,488
Vitals look good.

614
00:35:19,490 --> 00:35:21,925
Yes, sir, everything works.

615
00:35:21,927 --> 00:35:23,926
Waist up.

616
00:35:23,928 --> 00:35:25,727
Have you been made aware
of the actual proceeding?

617
00:35:25,729 --> 00:35:27,030
- Come here.
- Thank you.

618
00:35:27,032 --> 00:35:28,832
Have you been made aware
of the procedure?

619
00:35:28,834 --> 00:35:29,865
Uh, I think so.

620
00:35:29,867 --> 00:35:31,501
I think, uh...

621
00:35:31,503 --> 00:35:32,968
Yeah, quite a bit I don't know.

622
00:35:32,970 --> 00:35:35,671
Okay, well, let me take you
through it step by step.

623
00:35:35,673 --> 00:35:40,108
The only level of,
let's say, um...

624
00:35:40,110 --> 00:35:42,144
Un-comfortability that
you might experience is,

625
00:35:42,146 --> 00:35:44,646
just at the very beginning,
we need to make an incision

626
00:35:44,648 --> 00:35:49,117
just around here to be able to
gain access into the spinal cord.

627
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:52,921
You have to look at this
as a procedure.

628
00:35:52,923 --> 00:35:55,758
Not everything is going to
happen straight away.

629
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,695
The actual time taken will be
right about three days.

630
00:35:59,697 --> 00:36:02,832
Your awareness begins to
fade very slowly,

631
00:36:02,834 --> 00:36:04,800
and your heart rate
will begin to slow down.

632
00:36:04,802 --> 00:36:07,003
As the heart rate slows down,

633
00:36:07,005 --> 00:36:10,606
your level of consciousness
will actually expand,

634
00:36:10,608 --> 00:36:12,541
before then beginning
to come down.

635
00:36:12,543 --> 00:36:14,276
Okay, so I'll just fade,
fade out.

636
00:36:14,278 --> 00:36:16,278
That's one...

637
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,247
That's one of being able to...

638
00:36:18,249 --> 00:36:20,115
I go to sleep.

639
00:36:20,117 --> 00:36:21,818
It's a very peaceful sleep.

640
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:23,887
- All right.
- A very peaceful sleep.

641
00:36:23,889 --> 00:36:25,622
I guess this
is my last interview

642
00:36:25,624 --> 00:36:28,691
before I transplant
into the new body.

643
00:36:28,693 --> 00:36:33,930
I wanted to...
Go out into space,

644
00:36:33,932 --> 00:36:36,733
and live there forever
among the stars.

645
00:36:40,905 --> 00:36:44,774
And he told me...

646
00:36:44,776 --> 00:36:47,246
That I could do whatever
I wanted to do.

647
00:36:49,747 --> 00:36:51,717
As long as I put my mind to it.

648
00:36:55,220 --> 00:36:58,120
So...

649
00:36:58,122 --> 00:36:59,624
This is for you, dad.

650
00:37:28,586 --> 00:37:30,753
The military have
been doing recon fly-bys

651
00:37:30,755 --> 00:37:32,789
to get a closer look
at the spheres.

652
00:37:32,791 --> 00:37:35,258
Now what's complexing
is that the spheres

653
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,160
don't seem to be reacting to us.

654
00:37:38,162 --> 00:37:40,997
The space agency has convinced
leaders of key nations

655
00:37:40,999 --> 00:37:44,700
not to initiate an attack
without us analyzing the data

656
00:37:44,702 --> 00:37:47,303
to further understand
what the spheres are

657
00:37:47,305 --> 00:37:50,106
and what is their connection
to The Void.

658
00:37:50,108 --> 00:37:52,274
Our advanced satellite
geomapping indicates

659
00:37:52,276 --> 00:37:55,778
that the spheres are scattered
across the entire globe.

660
00:37:55,780 --> 00:37:57,680
Although we don't have
an accurate number,

661
00:37:57,682 --> 00:38:00,283
it's estimated that there are
hundreds of these spheres,

662
00:38:00,285 --> 00:38:01,950
floating in our skies,

663
00:38:01,952 --> 00:38:04,253
with more appearing every day.

664
00:38:04,255 --> 00:38:06,088
The geomapping also revealed
a pattern

665
00:38:06,090 --> 00:38:08,624
within the formation
of the spheres.

666
00:38:08,626 --> 00:38:11,894
It's... it's as if
they are aligning themselves

667
00:38:11,896 --> 00:38:13,899
in preparation for something.

668
00:38:22,773 --> 00:38:24,307
At 8:35 this morning,

669
00:38:24,309 --> 00:38:29,214
our first Homan 2.0 transplant
attempt... failed.

670
00:38:31,715 --> 00:38:34,249
Our subject was pronounced dead.

671
00:38:54,439 --> 00:38:57,009
There will be a second attempt
tonight, I presume.

672
00:39:08,218 --> 00:39:10,986
I'm devastated.

673
00:39:10,988 --> 00:39:14,823
We lost someone who was so
supportive of this mission,

674
00:39:14,825 --> 00:39:17,695
of this... of this cause.

675
00:39:23,068 --> 00:39:25,934
But we're losing time.

676
00:39:25,936 --> 00:39:29,372
We have to launch
within a week, and...

677
00:39:29,374 --> 00:39:31,774
We can't afford
to lose that window.

678
00:39:31,776 --> 00:39:34,477
Carl's transplant revealed that

679
00:39:34,479 --> 00:39:38,448
the brain couldn't fuse
with the synthetic body.

680
00:39:38,450 --> 00:39:42,017
And it rejected it
during the fusion process.

681
00:39:42,019 --> 00:39:44,019
And, pretty much,

682
00:39:44,021 --> 00:39:45,988
scrambled the brain
synapsis badly.

683
00:39:45,990 --> 00:39:48,157
The brain just overloaded.

684
00:39:54,398 --> 00:39:56,099
To prevent another loss,

685
00:39:56,101 --> 00:39:59,001
uh, the idea is to update

686
00:39:59,003 --> 00:40:02,171
the original synthetic
body printing technology

687
00:40:02,173 --> 00:40:06,108
with a new integrated tissue
organ printing system.

688
00:40:06,110 --> 00:40:09,111
Introducing a tiny amount
of the subject's actual cells

689
00:40:09,113 --> 00:40:10,912
into the synthetic gel

690
00:40:10,914 --> 00:40:12,881
means the brain can make
the connection

691
00:40:12,883 --> 00:40:15,818
with something organic
and not freak out

692
00:40:15,820 --> 00:40:18,454
when it comes into contact
with a foreign body structure

693
00:40:18,456 --> 00:40:21,189
it's not used to during
the fusion process.

694
00:40:28,932 --> 00:40:31,501
My professional opinion?

695
00:40:31,503 --> 00:40:34,336
This whole thing
is being rushed.

696
00:40:34,338 --> 00:40:35,972
We need more time.

697
00:40:35,974 --> 00:40:37,340
Uh...

698
00:40:37,342 --> 00:40:40,843
Look, the only way
that this could work,

699
00:40:40,845 --> 00:40:43,780
the... the feasibility of it,

700
00:40:43,782 --> 00:40:46,849
is to ensure that the human
transplant is tested

701
00:40:46,851 --> 00:40:49,151
with the enzyme beforehand.

702
00:40:49,153 --> 00:40:52,220
We would need to test
each candidate.

703
00:40:52,222 --> 00:40:54,323
But this would require
several months.

704
00:40:54,325 --> 00:40:56,158
We don't have months
or even weeks,

705
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,827
we're really up against it.

706
00:40:58,829 --> 00:41:01,467
We have the military Homan 2.0s,
we should deploy with them.

707
00:41:03,434 --> 00:41:06,836
Sending one military Homan 2.0
is one thing,

708
00:41:06,838 --> 00:41:09,838
but sending two as a replacement

709
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,008
to our astronauts...

710
00:41:13,010 --> 00:41:16,012
Well, I think you have
to ask yourself,

711
00:41:16,014 --> 00:41:18,814
"do we want soldiers
representing humanity,

712
00:41:18,816 --> 00:41:20,416
especially in that
state of mind?"

713
00:41:20,418 --> 00:41:22,818
And I can confidently tell you
that that is not something

714
00:41:22,820 --> 00:41:25,187
that I am comfortable with.

715
00:41:25,189 --> 00:41:27,990
Thankfully, I have been advised
by my medical science team

716
00:41:27,992 --> 00:41:30,358
that there is
a potential solution

717
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,128
which would fit in
our timeframe.

718
00:41:32,130 --> 00:41:34,162
Ever since our probes have been
sending back samples

719
00:41:34,164 --> 00:41:37,265
from the moon mining missions,
the Mars rover missions,

720
00:41:37,267 --> 00:41:39,936
those samples have been
kept in storage

721
00:41:39,938 --> 00:41:42,370
in the space agency facility.

722
00:41:42,372 --> 00:41:45,240
As protocol,
we take blood samples

723
00:41:45,242 --> 00:41:48,477
and urine samples
of all space agency staff

724
00:41:48,479 --> 00:41:52,414
to monitor any radiation effects
coming from the labs.

725
00:41:52,416 --> 00:41:55,952
And this protocol is, in part,
us keeping our team safe,

726
00:41:55,954 --> 00:42:00,155
but also conforming to science and
technology workplace regulations.

727
00:42:05,896 --> 00:42:07,396
Out of the entire agency,

728
00:42:07,398 --> 00:42:10,533
only three came up with
a positive match for the enzyme.

729
00:42:10,535 --> 00:42:13,269
One is an astronaut who's
just come back from the ISS,

730
00:42:13,271 --> 00:42:15,570
the other is our head of I.T.,

731
00:42:15,572 --> 00:42:18,407
and the other is our
expert cosmologist

732
00:42:18,409 --> 00:42:20,943
on the subject of The Void,

733
00:42:20,945 --> 00:42:22,314
Jessica Johnson.

734
00:42:36,427 --> 00:42:37,894
Yeah, can I take your coat?

735
00:42:37,896 --> 00:42:40,296
Oh, yeah, lovely, thanks.

736
00:42:40,298 --> 00:42:41,898
- That's it.
- Yeah, great.

737
00:42:41,900 --> 00:42:43,999
- How's things? How's Mary?
- Good, she's good.

738
00:42:44,001 --> 00:42:46,635
- It's really nice to have her back.
- Oh.

739
00:42:46,637 --> 00:42:49,104
- I haven't seen her for a little while, so...
- Yeah, she...

740
00:42:58,548 --> 00:43:00,950
- Hey!
- hey, how are you?

741
00:43:00,952 --> 00:43:02,350
Yeah, I'm good.

742
00:43:02,352 --> 00:43:03,986
- A long time.
- I'm laden with a cat.

743
00:43:03,988 --> 00:43:05,687
Yeah. aw.

744
00:43:05,689 --> 00:43:07,023
So good to see you.

745
00:43:09,126 --> 00:43:11,160
Um, when am I gonna
see you again?

746
00:43:11,162 --> 00:43:13,162
Um, I don't know.

747
00:43:13,164 --> 00:43:14,930
- Soon?
- um... yeah, soon.

748
00:43:14,932 --> 00:43:16,465
- Sooner than, sooner than...
- Yeah, definitely soon.

749
00:43:16,467 --> 00:43:18,033
- ...this time, okay?
- And I promise,

750
00:43:18,035 --> 00:43:20,035
I will definitely text you back.

751
00:43:20,037 --> 00:43:21,570
Okay. enjoy the puzzle.

752
00:43:21,572 --> 00:43:23,204
- Good luck. I'll see you.
- I'll be back around 8:00.

753
00:43:23,206 --> 00:43:24,640
Good luck, Mary, take care.

754
00:43:24,642 --> 00:43:27,008
Yeah.

755
00:43:27,010 --> 00:43:28,276
Obviously,
you know why I'm here.

756
00:43:28,278 --> 00:43:29,345
- Yes, I do.
- Yeah.

757
00:43:29,347 --> 00:43:30,546
Um, and to be honest,

758
00:43:30,548 --> 00:43:33,048
I'm having some
reservations myself.

759
00:43:33,050 --> 00:43:34,383
Of course.

760
00:43:34,385 --> 00:43:38,553
I'm coming to you
sort of off the record

761
00:43:38,555 --> 00:43:41,524
- and as a friend more than a colleague. Um...
- Mm.

762
00:43:41,526 --> 00:43:46,162
I respect that and I get that this is
a really difficult decision for you

763
00:43:46,164 --> 00:43:48,631
as much as it is for me,
I know that.

764
00:43:48,633 --> 00:43:51,666
And I... I want to make
the right decision

765
00:43:51,668 --> 00:43:55,104
that I'm better going ahead
with the procedure

766
00:43:55,106 --> 00:43:59,140
- than... my knowledge being here.
- Mm.

767
00:43:59,142 --> 00:44:04,579
But also... there's no way back.

768
00:44:04,581 --> 00:44:06,015
There is no way back.

769
00:44:06,017 --> 00:44:08,184
And...

770
00:44:08,186 --> 00:44:09,551
I'm sorry, but, um...

771
00:44:09,553 --> 00:44:12,588
Excuse me.

772
00:44:12,590 --> 00:44:15,057
I need to make sure my family
are really well cared for.

773
00:44:15,059 --> 00:44:17,158
- That I can guarantee.
- Yeah?

774
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,995
I can guarantee that your family
will be taken care of.

775
00:44:19,997 --> 00:44:23,365
And it needs to...

776
00:44:23,367 --> 00:44:25,001
Be delicate,
the way you tell them.

777
00:44:25,003 --> 00:44:26,702
I will be sensitive.

778
00:44:26,704 --> 00:44:28,403
- Thank you.
- Of course.

779
00:44:28,405 --> 00:44:30,773
You don't need to
worry about that.

780
00:44:30,775 --> 00:44:32,408
This can't be for nothing.

781
00:44:32,410 --> 00:44:36,178
And I'm aware that
we've got one shot at this,

782
00:44:36,180 --> 00:44:38,747
- and time is running out.
- Yes, it is running out.

783
00:44:38,749 --> 00:44:41,584
It's... it's very pressing.

784
00:44:41,586 --> 00:44:44,019
You know, you will go down
in history books

785
00:44:44,021 --> 00:44:48,691
for what you, potentially,
if you agree to do it.

786
00:44:48,693 --> 00:44:53,629
Well, Jessica is faced with
a very difficult decision.

787
00:44:53,631 --> 00:44:59,035
She is the best candidate that
we have at the present time

788
00:44:59,037 --> 00:45:02,537
to participate in
the Homan 2.0 project.

789
00:45:02,539 --> 00:45:06,408
Of course... it's not
an easy choice to make.

790
00:45:06,410 --> 00:45:10,079
I don't really know...

791
00:45:10,081 --> 00:45:11,446
I really don't know
how to convince her

792
00:45:11,448 --> 00:45:13,448
to make this choice.

793
00:45:13,450 --> 00:45:17,720
I feel terribly conflicted

794
00:45:17,722 --> 00:45:21,756
because we all know that...

795
00:45:21,758 --> 00:45:25,394
Her life will change
irrevocably.

796
00:45:25,396 --> 00:45:27,629
And, uh...

797
00:45:27,631 --> 00:45:30,533
There's no guarantee
that she will, um,

798
00:45:30,535 --> 00:45:33,369
you know, make it out
of this process alive.

799
00:45:33,371 --> 00:45:37,238
It's a very big
responsibility for me.

800
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:40,608
And it's, uh,
ultimately, up to her.

801
00:45:52,356 --> 00:45:54,090
- I'm going to do it.
- What?

802
00:45:54,092 --> 00:45:55,557
It makes perfect sense.

803
00:45:55,559 --> 00:45:57,358
I know this mission
more than anyone here

804
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,562
and I understand the objective.

805
00:45:59,564 --> 00:46:01,229
I'm the only person here
who understands

806
00:46:01,231 --> 00:46:02,733
what could potentially
be on the other side.

807
00:46:05,802 --> 00:46:08,570
You don't have to do this.

808
00:46:08,572 --> 00:46:10,573
You're much more
valuable to us down here.

809
00:46:10,575 --> 00:46:13,575
Well, given the tight timeframe,

810
00:46:13,577 --> 00:46:17,812
you know that this is
the right thing to do.

811
00:46:17,814 --> 00:46:21,216
Look, we'll have to run tests. And besides,
we have the other two positive candidates.

812
00:46:21,218 --> 00:46:23,419
- What makes you think...?
- The astronaut, James good,

813
00:46:23,421 --> 00:46:25,153
firstly, just back from the ISS,

814
00:46:25,155 --> 00:46:28,256
secondly, he has a family.

815
00:46:28,258 --> 00:46:30,158
And David Jennings in I.T.,
I mean, seriously,

816
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,227
the guy is so defensive.

817
00:46:32,229 --> 00:46:34,696
Definitely not
first contact material.

818
00:46:34,698 --> 00:46:36,164
I've already done the psych test

819
00:46:36,166 --> 00:46:38,767
and I'm cleared
for the procedure.

820
00:46:38,769 --> 00:46:40,870
Now I haven't worked
directly with her,

821
00:46:40,872 --> 00:46:43,171
but in light of
recent communications,

822
00:46:43,173 --> 00:46:46,642
it's clear that she's volatile
and, frankly,

823
00:46:46,644 --> 00:46:49,311
a ticking time bomb.

824
00:46:49,313 --> 00:46:52,448
I don't think we should have
someone like that

825
00:46:52,450 --> 00:46:55,216
lead a scientific investigation

826
00:46:55,218 --> 00:46:58,720
in what could possibly be
the most important discovery

827
00:46:58,722 --> 00:47:03,325
in the history
of space exploration.

828
00:47:05,630 --> 00:47:07,762
She has, um,
this ability to focus

829
00:47:07,764 --> 00:47:10,365
and this attention
that she applies to her work,

830
00:47:10,367 --> 00:47:12,367
which is very impressive.

831
00:47:12,369 --> 00:47:14,370
And she has this
exploratory nature

832
00:47:14,372 --> 00:47:16,305
with veering that she does.

833
00:47:16,307 --> 00:47:19,941
Always looking deeper into ever
anomaly that she's researching,

834
00:47:19,943 --> 00:47:21,709
drawing conclusions
from the data

835
00:47:21,711 --> 00:47:23,512
and, and thinking about things

836
00:47:23,514 --> 00:47:27,749
in a way that's very
valuable and unique.

837
00:47:27,751 --> 00:47:31,220
And, really, I think Jessica's
the ideal person

838
00:47:31,222 --> 00:47:32,357
for this mission.

839
00:47:36,727 --> 00:47:40,229
When Jessica was
making her decision,

840
00:47:40,231 --> 00:47:43,365
she came to me
to find out more about

841
00:47:43,367 --> 00:47:47,503
what it was gonna be like
in the Homan 2.0 body.

842
00:47:47,505 --> 00:47:51,774
So, obviously, we discussed
the physical differences,

843
00:47:51,776 --> 00:47:56,979
but she was more concerned about
her emotional capabilities.

844
00:47:56,981 --> 00:47:59,515
And I reassured her,
um, you know,

845
00:47:59,517 --> 00:48:02,651
this is the most important
aspect to us;

846
00:48:02,653 --> 00:48:05,553
preserving her
emotional intelligence

847
00:48:05,555 --> 00:48:07,990
and, in a moral compass,

848
00:48:07,992 --> 00:48:10,425
you know, that's what
makes you human.

849
00:48:10,427 --> 00:48:14,963
And it's a human that
we want to send up there.

850
00:48:14,965 --> 00:48:17,600
Well, it's, um,
absolutely incredible

851
00:48:17,602 --> 00:48:19,267
what they can do.

852
00:48:19,269 --> 00:48:21,637
Um, it's very overwhelming.

853
00:48:21,639 --> 00:48:23,905
Um, but Alice was wonderful.

854
00:48:23,907 --> 00:48:28,744
She told me exactly what is
entailed with the procedure.

855
00:48:28,746 --> 00:48:30,945
Um, I know a bit more
about it now.

856
00:48:30,947 --> 00:48:32,715
Um...

857
00:48:32,717 --> 00:48:35,483
It's... it's incredible.
I'm ready.

858
00:48:35,485 --> 00:48:38,653
Um, I absolutely
have to do this.

859
00:48:38,655 --> 00:48:40,955
And, uh, yeah.

860
00:48:45,863 --> 00:48:48,664
The hardest part
of this decision

861
00:48:48,666 --> 00:48:50,899
to go ahead with the procedure

862
00:48:50,901 --> 00:48:54,003
has been calling up
my friends and family

863
00:48:54,005 --> 00:48:57,905
to just hear their voice
one last time.

864
00:48:57,907 --> 00:48:59,975
These phone calls

865
00:48:59,977 --> 00:49:04,282
really made me realize
the sacrifices I'm making.

866
00:49:11,454 --> 00:49:14,423
Even if I do survive it,

867
00:49:14,425 --> 00:49:17,526
I am well aware that
this is a one-way mission

868
00:49:17,528 --> 00:49:21,629
and there is no point of return
to my original life.

869
00:50:19,823 --> 00:50:23,524
The fusion has been successful.

870
00:50:23,526 --> 00:50:27,930
We have our first Homan 2.0.

871
00:50:27,932 --> 00:50:30,733
We are literally God right now.

872
00:50:44,648 --> 00:50:47,649
When I watched her eyes open,

873
00:50:47,651 --> 00:50:51,720
and when I saw her
take her first breath,

874
00:50:51,722 --> 00:50:55,990
it, uh... it was like
she was reborn.

875
00:50:55,992 --> 00:50:58,026
But it's like you're watching
consciousness come alive

876
00:50:58,028 --> 00:50:59,827
right in front of you.

877
00:50:59,829 --> 00:51:02,463
And this unprecedented mix of,

878
00:51:02,465 --> 00:51:05,633
of human consciousness
and technology.

879
00:51:07,838 --> 00:51:10,004
Okay, guys, can
you check on this?

880
00:51:10,006 --> 00:51:13,508
Okay, Jessica,
just calm down, it's okay.

881
00:51:13,510 --> 00:51:16,745
The speech synthesizer, it needs
the reconfiguration, okay?

882
00:51:16,747 --> 00:51:19,548
But just calm down,
this isn't permanent.

883
00:51:19,550 --> 00:51:20,783
We can fix this, okay?

884
00:51:20,785 --> 00:51:23,718
But try, try and relax yourself.

885
00:51:23,720 --> 00:51:27,021
Uh, so we're having some issues
with the speech synthesizer.

886
00:51:27,023 --> 00:51:29,658
Basically, the electrode
that's implanted in the brain,

887
00:51:29,660 --> 00:51:32,894
which is communicating telemetrically
with the neural decoder,

888
00:51:32,896 --> 00:51:34,762
this is where, I think,
we're having some issues.

889
00:51:34,764 --> 00:51:36,800
We need to do some
reconfiguration here.

890
00:51:50,113 --> 00:51:52,981
Strange hearing my voice.

891
00:51:52,983 --> 00:51:54,983
I don't feel like myself.

892
00:51:54,985 --> 00:51:57,019
But I'm just in a new body.

893
00:51:57,021 --> 00:52:02,724
My... I can feel pressure when
I touch my fingertips together.

894
00:52:02,726 --> 00:52:05,794
But I don't have
any sense of pain.

895
00:52:05,796 --> 00:52:09,765
When I look in the mirror,
I see my old face,

896
00:52:09,767 --> 00:52:11,767
only inside a new body.

897
00:52:11,769 --> 00:52:14,102
Sometimes, when I close my eyes,

898
00:52:14,104 --> 00:52:17,506
I totally forget that I am
in a synthetic body.

899
00:52:17,508 --> 00:52:19,675
Everything which makes me
who I am,

900
00:52:19,677 --> 00:52:22,144
it's in my consciousness.

901
00:52:22,146 --> 00:52:26,215
I'm told that I will have to go
through extensive rehabilitation

902
00:52:26,217 --> 00:52:31,119
to get my brain used to
the synthetic body.

903
00:52:34,224 --> 00:52:38,160
After the first time,
when we lost Carl,

904
00:52:38,162 --> 00:52:42,564
I sometimes doubted
that we'd be here today.

905
00:52:42,566 --> 00:52:44,600
Seeing her now,

906
00:52:44,602 --> 00:52:46,501
alive...

907
00:52:46,503 --> 00:52:47,903
It changes everything.

908
00:52:47,905 --> 00:52:51,205
That's, um, that's so profound.

909
00:52:51,207 --> 00:52:55,910
Sorry, I find it really,
um... staggering.

910
00:52:55,912 --> 00:52:59,247
And I suppose mixed in
with that is, uh...

911
00:52:59,249 --> 00:53:03,651
The fact that she is a woman,
a human being like you and me.

912
00:53:03,653 --> 00:53:05,687
Um...

913
00:53:05,689 --> 00:53:09,124
And she must be wondering how
it's all gonna work out as well.

914
00:53:09,126 --> 00:53:13,695
But I think
she's gonna be just fine.

915
00:53:13,697 --> 00:53:17,566
I would suggest that this is
the beginning of the future

916
00:53:17,568 --> 00:53:20,202
of astronauts to come.

917
00:53:28,611 --> 00:53:30,711
I won't deny the fact

918
00:53:30,713 --> 00:53:34,582
that our Homan 2.0 solider may
possess certain hardware attributes

919
00:53:34,584 --> 00:53:36,050
within its synthetic body,

920
00:53:36,052 --> 00:53:38,954
which will differ from
the synthetic astronaut.

921
00:53:38,956 --> 00:53:40,888
Yes, he is carrying small arms,

922
00:53:40,890 --> 00:53:43,825
which is part of the Homan 2.0
soldier body design.

923
00:53:43,827 --> 00:53:46,894
You don't send a soldier
on a mission without a weapon

924
00:53:46,896 --> 00:53:49,932
and considering that we do not
know what is behind The Void,

925
00:53:49,934 --> 00:53:52,704
it is inherently dangerous
to be unprepared.

926
00:54:18,195 --> 00:54:20,928
Homan 2.0 has just
docked on and looking good.

927
00:54:20,930 --> 00:54:22,967
Prepare for launch countdown.

928
00:54:29,907 --> 00:54:33,177
Five, four, three, two, one.

929
00:54:36,814 --> 00:54:39,213
We have ignition, engines start.

930
00:54:39,215 --> 00:54:41,818
Lift off.

931
00:54:44,354 --> 00:54:46,754
Power is nominal.

932
00:54:46,756 --> 00:54:50,358
Engines at 101% and nominal.

933
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,662
Altitude is 2,000 feet
and climbing.

934
00:54:53,664 --> 00:54:56,731
Avionics power is at nominal.

935
00:54:56,733 --> 00:55:00,869
Altitude is at 10,000 feet
and climbing.

936
00:55:00,871 --> 00:55:02,403
Engines remain nominal.

937
00:55:02,405 --> 00:55:05,006
Preparing for main engine
cut off.

938
00:55:05,008 --> 00:55:07,075
Two minutes to EPOS.

939
00:55:07,077 --> 00:55:09,410
Sequence 30 seconds

940
00:55:09,412 --> 00:55:12,981
Speed 7200 miles per hour.

941
00:55:12,983 --> 00:55:16,785
Stand by for stage one
and EPOS separation.

942
00:55:16,787 --> 00:55:20,921
ESS is disabled and we have
stage one separation.

943
00:55:20,923 --> 00:55:24,291
Payload separation
in three, two, one.

944
00:55:24,293 --> 00:55:26,093
Eject.

945
00:55:26,095 --> 00:55:29,064
Alignment and trajectory
is looking good.

946
00:55:29,066 --> 00:55:32,767
We still have good strong
telemetry in the RCC.

947
00:55:56,994 --> 00:55:59,026
Standing by
for Homan 2.0 connection

948
00:55:59,028 --> 00:56:01,963
in three, two, one.

949
00:56:01,965 --> 00:56:04,800
Jessica, we see
what you see, over.

950
00:56:04,802 --> 00:56:07,202
Please commence
on observation report.

951
00:56:07,204 --> 00:56:09,104
Pressure
stable inside the craft.

952
00:56:09,106 --> 00:56:10,771
It's all looking good.

953
00:56:10,773 --> 00:56:12,140
Jessica, you are a go.

954
00:56:12,142 --> 00:56:14,209
Engaging onboard
trajectory system.

955
00:56:14,211 --> 00:56:15,477
We're getting closer.

956
00:56:15,479 --> 00:56:16,878
We're approaching The Void.

957
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,412
I can almost see it.

958
00:56:18,414 --> 00:56:20,684
It's almost within range.

959
00:56:29,093 --> 00:56:31,059
There it is, there's The Void.

960
00:56:31,061 --> 00:56:33,765
Wow—it... is... beautiful.

961
00:56:39,869 --> 00:56:41,169
Be advised,

962
00:56:41,171 --> 00:56:43,738
we are no longer receiving
craft telemetry.

963
00:56:43,740 --> 00:56:46,475
As we get closer, I
can feel everything around me.

964
00:56:46,477 --> 00:56:48,008
It's starting to move too.

965
00:56:48,010 --> 00:56:50,077
Oh, the pressure's so strong.

966
00:56:50,079 --> 00:56:52,881
Pressure readings are fluctuating.
It's becoming irregular.

967
00:56:52,883 --> 00:56:56,184
There's a strange light coming
in from all around, up ahead.

968
00:56:56,186 --> 00:56:58,120
Oh, wow, this is incredible.

969
00:56:58,122 --> 00:57:02,457
Especially since The Void is
starting to distort everything.

970
00:57:02,459 --> 00:57:04,225
Here we go!

971
00:57:13,771 --> 00:57:17,372
We are losing your transmission.

972
00:57:27,550 --> 00:57:29,117
If you can still hear us,

973
00:57:29,119 --> 00:57:32,086
good luck and godspeed, Jessica.

974
00:57:32,088 --> 00:57:34,222
Well, we don't know, uh,

975
00:57:34,224 --> 00:57:38,026
exactly when we can expect
our astronauts to return.

976
00:57:38,028 --> 00:57:41,463
Um, we can only
speculate and hope,

977
00:57:41,465 --> 00:57:44,865
and I hope that they will be
back, you know, within the year,

978
00:57:44,867 --> 00:57:49,004
but it's possible that it could
take several years,

979
00:57:49,006 --> 00:57:51,238
several decades even.

980
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:55,577
And there is also the remote
possibility that we...

981
00:57:55,579 --> 00:57:57,979
may never hear from them.

982
00:57:57,981 --> 00:58:01,249
Uh, we're prepared for
every eventuality.

983
00:58:01,251 --> 00:58:03,184
We're tracking them right now.

984
00:58:03,186 --> 00:58:05,120
And, um, well, as you can see,

985
00:58:05,122 --> 00:58:07,521
we're all working flat out,

986
00:58:07,523 --> 00:58:09,825
keeping tabs on what's going on.

987
00:58:09,827 --> 00:58:11,225
And everybody is listening,

988
00:58:11,227 --> 00:58:12,894
every single second.

989
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,943
There's been an accident.

990
00:58:27,945 --> 00:58:30,111
And...

991
00:58:30,113 --> 00:58:35,350
I'm afraid that Jessica
has been involved.

992
00:58:35,352 --> 00:58:38,954
There was, um, an explosion...

993
00:58:38,956 --> 00:58:42,356
On the rocket and...

994
00:58:42,358 --> 00:58:44,127
I'm really sorry to say, but...

995
00:58:46,896 --> 00:58:48,064
We've lost her.

996
00:58:51,468 --> 00:58:53,901
Everything that's dangerous,
must be...

997
00:58:53,903 --> 00:58:55,303
And why was she on it?

998
00:58:55,305 --> 00:58:59,506
It's her job.

999
00:58:59,508 --> 00:59:03,010
Couldn't they have
put someone else on the rocket?

1000
00:59:03,012 --> 00:59:04,114
No, darling.

1001
00:59:06,916 --> 00:59:08,950
No.

1002
00:59:08,952 --> 00:59:11,385
Yeah, that was tough,
my goodness.

1003
00:59:11,387 --> 00:59:13,488
Uh...

1004
00:59:13,490 --> 00:59:16,658
Oh, it's all very complicated

1005
00:59:16,660 --> 00:59:20,562
I've never lied to my daughter
about anything before.

1006
00:59:20,564 --> 00:59:24,131
And, um, of course, the last time
I had to tell her somebody died,

1007
00:59:24,133 --> 00:59:26,066
it was my husband.

1008
00:59:26,068 --> 00:59:30,137
Um, and it's not pleasant to
have to go through that again.

1009
00:59:30,139 --> 00:59:33,207
I knew that, um...

1010
00:59:33,209 --> 00:59:35,542
Well, if she could know
the truth and if she knew why

1011
00:59:35,544 --> 00:59:36,847
she would forgive me.

1012
00:59:39,115 --> 00:59:40,251
It's hard.

1013
01:00:01,171 --> 01:00:04,673
This morning, one of our defense
ballistic missile radar systems

1014
01:00:04,675 --> 01:00:07,341
picked up a...
A fast-moving object

1015
01:00:07,343 --> 01:00:08,676
heading towards
the Atlantic Ocean.

1016
01:00:08,678 --> 01:00:11,178
We use this to
track space debris,

1017
01:00:11,180 --> 01:00:13,548
uh, satellites.

1018
01:00:13,550 --> 01:00:16,383
This object, it has
the same size, velocity,

1019
01:00:16,385 --> 01:00:20,021
trajectory as the craft that
we sent through to The Void.

1020
01:00:20,023 --> 01:00:22,624
I mean, we were awe-struck, that's for sure.

1021
01:00:22,626 --> 01:00:24,358
I mean...

1022
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,595
Within a few days
of launching, um...

1023
01:00:27,597 --> 01:00:29,997
To return so quickly...

1024
01:00:36,506 --> 01:00:39,073
Well, when we arrived, we lifted
the craft out of the water

1025
01:00:39,075 --> 01:00:42,510
and I remember smearing black
residue off the side.

1026
01:00:42,512 --> 01:00:45,113
Well, usually, when you see a
craft with that amount of aging,

1027
01:00:45,115 --> 01:00:47,682
you would expect that the craft had
been out for a long period of time

1028
01:00:47,684 --> 01:00:52,354
and had a very forcible entry
back into the atmosphere.

1029
01:00:52,356 --> 01:00:54,155
From my experience
from previous missions,

1030
01:00:54,157 --> 01:00:56,091
what would happen is that
you would enter the craft

1031
01:00:56,093 --> 01:00:58,093
and there'd be
two astronauts there.

1032
01:00:58,095 --> 01:01:00,564
But in this case, the military
astronaut was nowhere to be found.

1033
01:01:02,465 --> 01:01:04,399
We need to consider
the fact that perhaps

1034
01:01:04,401 --> 01:01:08,068
that this whole void...

1035
01:01:08,070 --> 01:01:11,071
Is a Trojan horse.

1036
01:01:11,073 --> 01:01:12,175
That...

1037
01:01:15,044 --> 01:01:18,579
That this could be perhaps
a message, a warning.

1038
01:01:18,581 --> 01:01:20,548
I don't think it's a failure

1039
01:01:20,550 --> 01:01:22,182
that it's come back
in seven days.

1040
01:01:22,184 --> 01:01:24,318
I mean, we have something

1041
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:28,122
that has been through The Void
and come back.

1042
01:01:28,124 --> 01:01:31,258
Now our next step
is to start doing tests.

1043
01:01:31,260 --> 01:01:34,129
As standard protocol
for all our astronauts,

1044
01:01:34,131 --> 01:01:35,662
we have to keep Miss Johnson
in quarantine

1045
01:01:35,664 --> 01:01:38,133
to prevent any form of
biological contamination

1046
01:01:38,135 --> 01:01:40,769
she may have been exposed to.

1047
01:01:40,771 --> 01:01:43,104
We have to prepare ourselves
for the fact that

1048
01:01:43,106 --> 01:01:44,408
the mission is a failure.

1049
01:01:46,376 --> 01:01:49,246
What we need to do now is
get ready for next steps.

1050
01:01:51,747 --> 01:01:55,249
To be honest, whether she wakes
up is another thing.

1051
01:01:55,251 --> 01:01:57,751
She may physically wake up now,

1052
01:01:57,753 --> 01:02:01,356
or even next week, or next year.

1053
01:02:01,358 --> 01:02:03,791
When a patient has suffered
severe brain damage,

1054
01:02:03,793 --> 01:02:09,396
then... they go into a coma
or vegetative state.

1055
01:02:09,398 --> 01:02:12,499
It's possible that
the sustained injury

1056
01:02:12,501 --> 01:02:16,104
is impairing their normal
brain function.

1057
01:02:16,106 --> 01:02:18,573
When we plugged her
into the transcode bay,

1058
01:02:18,575 --> 01:02:22,209
we discovered that the recorded
data in her brain

1059
01:02:22,211 --> 01:02:26,247
showed several years worth
of new memories recorded.

1060
01:02:26,249 --> 01:02:29,352
Yet she had only
been away for five days.

1061
01:02:32,189 --> 01:02:36,423
It's possible, even probable,

1062
01:02:36,425 --> 01:02:38,660
that the time on The Void

1063
01:02:38,662 --> 01:02:42,564
is well different
from our concept of time.

1064
01:02:42,566 --> 01:02:45,600
What is a couple of years
the other side

1065
01:02:45,602 --> 01:02:48,172
may well just be
a few days here.

1066
01:02:53,843 --> 01:02:55,709
The transcode process works by

1067
01:02:55,711 --> 01:02:59,414
tapping into the connect home
where the memories are stored.

1068
01:02:59,416 --> 01:03:02,684
This is made possible by artificial
intelligent chip implants

1069
01:03:02,686 --> 01:03:04,651
stored at the side of the brain.

1070
01:03:04,653 --> 01:03:07,222
So this helps us encode memories

1071
01:03:07,224 --> 01:03:10,791
and also stores them
as synaptic connections.

1072
01:03:10,793 --> 01:03:12,827
What our transcode
technology does

1073
01:03:12,829 --> 01:03:15,530
is it unscrambles this chain
of synaptic connections

1074
01:03:15,532 --> 01:03:17,798
into a stream of data.

1075
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,503
Our software then processes
this stream of data as imagery.

1076
01:03:21,505 --> 01:03:24,138
So when played back,
it's.. It's incredible.

1077
01:03:24,140 --> 01:03:26,240
It's actual memory footage.

1078
01:03:46,595 --> 01:03:48,595
We've transcoded
bursts of memory.

1079
01:03:48,597 --> 01:03:50,430
And, although short,
it's very promising,

1080
01:03:50,432 --> 01:03:53,167
in fact, it's... I think it's
better than anybody expected.

1081
01:03:53,169 --> 01:03:55,236
Um, at this stage
of the game, however,

1082
01:03:55,238 --> 01:03:59,506
it... they are short because
it's very, uh, taxing mentally

1083
01:03:59,508 --> 01:04:01,242
for Jessica.

1084
01:04:01,244 --> 01:04:03,343
So she needs
a certain amount of time

1085
01:04:03,345 --> 01:04:05,445
to recover for the synapses
in her brain

1086
01:04:05,447 --> 01:04:07,649
to recover from the experience
that she's had

1087
01:04:07,651 --> 01:04:09,617
to, sort of,
re-gather, as it were,

1088
01:04:09,619 --> 01:04:11,852
um, and then we start again.

1089
01:04:11,854 --> 01:04:14,521
So, for me,
there's a priority, obviously,

1090
01:04:14,523 --> 01:04:16,624
which is to
take care of Jessica.

1091
01:04:16,626 --> 01:04:18,526
I certainly don't want
the information that she has

1092
01:04:18,528 --> 01:04:20,394
to be compromised in any way

1093
01:04:20,396 --> 01:04:22,963
by pushing this process
too quickly.

1094
01:04:22,965 --> 01:04:25,899
However, there is an imperative that we
get the information as soon as possible.

1095
01:04:28,939 --> 01:04:32,640
We have some very worried people
here at strategic defense committee.

1096
01:04:32,642 --> 01:04:34,608
With the heightened
activity in our skies,

1097
01:04:34,610 --> 01:04:37,445
national security alert
was elevated to Code Red.

1098
01:04:37,447 --> 01:04:39,981
Now bear in mind, we have
protocols set in place

1099
01:04:39,983 --> 01:04:41,615
for this kind of event.

1100
01:04:41,617 --> 01:04:42,716
Since the '40s.

1101
01:06:21,918 --> 01:06:25,452
Something must've triggered
her brain synapse like a switch.

1102
01:06:25,454 --> 01:06:28,689
Her brain activity
lit up like fireworks.

1103
01:06:30,093 --> 01:06:32,059
Her diagnostics were normal.

1104
01:06:32,061 --> 01:06:33,695
Nothing seemed damaged.

1105
01:06:33,697 --> 01:06:36,564
Well, her brain did
have a level of trauma,

1106
01:06:36,566 --> 01:06:38,399
but that's to be expected,

1107
01:06:38,401 --> 01:06:42,470
and her memories will
take a while to reconnect.

1108
01:06:42,472 --> 01:06:47,575
Despite my professional advice
to the space agency officials,

1109
01:06:47,577 --> 01:06:50,314
not enough time was given
to allow for her recovery.

1110
01:06:52,782 --> 01:06:55,816
There were too many questions.

1111
01:06:55,818 --> 01:06:57,587
And everyone wanted answers.

1112
01:07:01,124 --> 01:07:04,358
Jessica, I'm gonna
ask you some questions

1113
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,361
and it's very important

1114
01:07:06,363 --> 01:07:09,530
that you answer them
as clearly as possible

1115
01:07:09,532 --> 01:07:13,468
so that we can prevent confusion
with the memory transcodes.

1116
01:07:13,470 --> 01:07:14,568
I understand.

1117
01:07:18,006 --> 01:07:21,876
What do you remember
from the launch?

1118
01:07:21,878 --> 01:07:23,644
It was so much light.

1119
01:07:23,646 --> 01:07:26,012
I remember thinking
to myself that

1120
01:07:26,014 --> 01:07:29,816
this light is going to blind me
if I keep my eyes open.

1121
01:07:29,818 --> 01:07:33,488
Can you tell me what happened
with the soldier 2.0?

1122
01:07:33,490 --> 01:07:38,593
The soldier... he remained quiet
as we went into The Void.

1123
01:07:38,595 --> 01:07:40,894
But as the light flashes
became more violent,

1124
01:07:40,896 --> 01:07:44,767
I... I couldn't watch him, I had
to close my eyes for a moment.

1125
01:07:49,405 --> 01:07:51,472
And when I opened my eyes,
I noticed

1126
01:07:51,474 --> 01:07:53,975
that he was no longer
in the craft.

1127
01:07:53,977 --> 01:07:57,614
I looked outside and I could
see him floating away.

1128
01:08:06,488 --> 01:08:10,490
Jessica, sorry,
can you confirm that again?

1129
01:08:10,492 --> 01:08:14,697
I said, there was no way that he
could've left the craft via the hatch.

1130
01:08:17,933 --> 01:08:20,603
He just floated there
as if frozen.

1131
01:08:23,039 --> 01:08:25,672
He had a look of fear
in his eyes

1132
01:08:25,674 --> 01:08:28,909
and he kept looking down
at his arm.

1133
01:08:28,911 --> 01:08:33,114
His arm exploded into
a white flash of light,

1134
01:08:33,116 --> 01:08:37,017
which looked like
a nuclear bomb detonation.

1135
01:08:37,019 --> 01:08:40,654
And then the craft began
spinning out of The Void

1136
01:08:40,656 --> 01:08:43,459
and towards what
looked like a planet.

1137
01:08:48,063 --> 01:08:51,798
I must've passed out because
I then found myself

1138
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:56,002
on the planet's surface and
had no idea how that happened.

1139
01:08:56,004 --> 01:08:59,507
I kept walking and walking.

1140
01:08:59,509 --> 01:09:03,778
It was as if I was drawn to
a specific location.

1141
01:10:03,805 --> 01:10:05,940
Jessica,

1142
01:10:05,942 --> 01:10:08,074
did you make first contact?

1143
01:10:08,076 --> 01:10:09,677
Yes.

1144
01:10:09,679 --> 01:10:11,311
I saw them.

1145
01:10:11,313 --> 01:10:15,048
But they had no shape or form.

1146
01:10:15,050 --> 01:10:19,252
I felt their presence as if they
were trying to communicate with me.

1147
01:10:22,592 --> 01:10:24,225
And there was a flash,

1148
01:10:24,227 --> 01:10:26,697
and I found myself inside
a white environment.

1149
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,833
In the distance...

1150
01:10:33,835 --> 01:10:36,671
Was something approaching me.

1151
01:10:36,673 --> 01:10:39,205
I felt paralyzed.

1152
01:10:39,207 --> 01:10:40,878
I—I just couldn't move.

1153
01:10:48,250 --> 01:10:51,052
I know I should've been
scared or terrified

1154
01:10:51,054 --> 01:10:52,686
but I wasn't.

1155
01:10:52,688 --> 01:10:56,356
I actually felt calm.

1156
01:11:07,370 --> 01:11:09,203
It was Jim Marcell.

1157
01:11:09,205 --> 01:11:13,708
But he didn't physically speak.

1158
01:11:13,710 --> 01:11:15,810
I could hear him,
though, in my head,

1159
01:11:15,812 --> 01:11:19,245
telling me that everything
is going to be okay.

1160
01:11:19,247 --> 01:11:20,616
What are their intentions?

1161
01:11:25,621 --> 01:11:27,989
He kept saying
it's going to be okay

1162
01:11:27,991 --> 01:11:29,826
and that our time has come.

1163
01:11:32,094 --> 01:11:34,962
It was strange,
I could feel what it was saying.

1164
01:11:34,964 --> 01:11:38,199
It— it...
it wasn't a voice as such.

1165
01:11:38,201 --> 01:11:41,838
It was just information being
presented into my mind.

1166
01:11:46,174 --> 01:11:47,807
Many in the
committee are questioning

1167
01:11:47,809 --> 01:11:50,011
the validity of
Jessica's memory transcodes,

1168
01:11:50,013 --> 01:11:53,146
in particular, the appearance
of astronaut Jim Marcell.

1169
01:11:53,148 --> 01:11:56,883
Um, they are questioning whether this
is a manifestation of her imagination

1170
01:11:56,885 --> 01:11:59,352
or a kind of mirage,
if you will.

1171
01:11:59,354 --> 01:12:04,859
However, I have to wonder why
he appeared in the first place.

1172
01:12:04,861 --> 01:12:07,127
And, to me, I think
it's important to, perhaps,

1173
01:12:07,129 --> 01:12:10,364
examine the idea that
astronaut Jim Marcell

1174
01:12:10,366 --> 01:12:12,699
is alive and well,

1175
01:12:12,701 --> 01:12:14,101
and on the other side
of The Void.

1176
01:12:14,103 --> 01:12:17,038
He's not damaged in body
or mind, seemingly.

1177
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:20,740
So perhaps this would indicate
that their intentions towards us

1178
01:12:20,742 --> 01:12:24,779
are positive and that
they mean us no harm.

1179
01:12:24,781 --> 01:12:26,747
We have to be extremely cautious

1180
01:12:26,749 --> 01:12:30,784
in our response
to Jessica's statements.

1181
01:12:30,786 --> 01:12:33,788
We have to run...
A whole lot of tests

1182
01:12:33,790 --> 01:12:35,388
to ascertain whether
or not she's suffering

1183
01:12:35,390 --> 01:12:38,092
from any form of
post-traumatic stress.

1184
01:12:38,094 --> 01:12:40,794
She's been through one
hell of an experience.

1185
01:12:40,796 --> 01:12:42,696
It's bound to have
some side effects,

1186
01:12:42,698 --> 01:12:46,199
even if they are temporary.

1187
01:12:46,201 --> 01:12:48,703
We have a lot at stake here.

1188
01:12:48,705 --> 01:12:52,205
And we can't afford to make any
rash conclusions at this stage

1189
01:12:52,207 --> 01:12:56,045
about what the transcodes are
and where they come from.

1190
01:12:58,481 --> 01:13:02,949
Are they really Jessica's
own organic memories?

1191
01:13:02,951 --> 01:13:04,284
Or are they imposed,
placed there,

1192
01:13:04,286 --> 01:13:06,956
by someone or something else?

1193
01:14:57,032 --> 01:14:59,600
This is ISS. Be advised
of incoming debris.

1194
01:14:59,602 --> 01:15:01,901
The blowback does not look good.

1195
01:15:01,903 --> 01:15:04,204
Multiple collisions with our
outer-orbit satellites

1196
01:15:04,206 --> 01:15:06,472
and the debris speed is
accelerating rapidly.

1197
01:15:09,946 --> 01:15:11,511
It's heading right at us.

1198
01:15:11,513 --> 01:15:14,013
Standing by for collision
avoidance maneuver.

1199
01:15:14,015 --> 01:15:17,150
100 meters and closing.

1200
01:15:17,152 --> 01:15:20,520
75 meters and closing.

1201
01:15:20,522 --> 01:15:22,825
50 meters and closing.

1202
01:15:25,628 --> 01:15:27,429
25 meters and closing.

1203
01:15:39,909 --> 01:15:42,208
Ten meters and closing.

1204
01:15:42,210 --> 01:15:44,477
Five meters and closing.

1205
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:45,980
Three meters.

1206
01:15:45,982 --> 01:15:47,250
Brace for impact.

1207
01:17:00,289 --> 01:17:02,455
We were so wrong.

1208
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:08,294
We could not have been
more wrong about...

1209
01:17:08,296 --> 01:17:10,330
All of this.

1210
01:17:16,339 --> 01:17:18,404
We were so blinded
by our own paranoia

1211
01:17:18,406 --> 01:17:20,309
that we couldn't see
what was really going on.

1212
01:17:22,510 --> 01:17:25,178
We thought that
we were being attacked.

1213
01:17:25,180 --> 01:17:28,114
It didn't occur to us
in our wildest dreams

1214
01:17:28,116 --> 01:17:30,617
that actually
we were being saved.

1215
01:17:30,619 --> 01:17:34,288
That thought
never crossed my mind.

1216
01:17:34,290 --> 01:17:36,323
And I am feeling...

1217
01:17:36,325 --> 01:17:39,193
Uh, humbled I think
is the word that comes to mind.

1218
01:17:39,195 --> 01:17:43,129
And... um, you know,
you see something,

1219
01:17:43,131 --> 01:17:47,001
I guess you can't help but
question everything that you...

1220
01:17:47,003 --> 01:17:48,702
You think you know.

1221
01:17:48,704 --> 01:17:51,471
Breaking news... Today,
not matter which race,

1222
01:17:51,473 --> 01:17:54,074
religion or political view
you hold,

1223
01:17:54,076 --> 01:17:56,577
or wars which you are fighting,

1224
01:17:56,579 --> 01:17:58,444
everyone on this planet
is witnessing

1225
01:17:58,446 --> 01:18:00,381
a historical event,

1226
01:18:00,383 --> 01:18:04,287
which experts are calling the
cosmic event of our lifetime.

1227
01:18:06,254 --> 01:18:09,256
Since the event,
Jessica's mind is less constricted

1228
01:18:09,258 --> 01:18:12,191
and more memories
have been transcoded.

1229
01:18:12,193 --> 01:18:14,328
The more we've transcoded,
the more we've learned about

1230
01:18:14,330 --> 01:18:17,530
Jessica's first
contact experience with them

1231
01:18:17,532 --> 01:18:20,566
and their intentions.

1232
01:18:24,339 --> 01:18:27,541
He said that this
is all part of the cycle.

1233
01:18:27,543 --> 01:18:30,810
A process created by them
to keep the universe stable

1234
01:18:30,812 --> 01:18:33,814
and working.

1235
01:18:33,816 --> 01:18:37,383
I had to ask, "Why us?

1236
01:18:37,385 --> 01:18:39,022
Why did they save us?"

1237
01:18:48,630 --> 01:18:50,364
Whatever they
learned about us...

1238
01:18:51,467 --> 01:18:53,167
perhaps made them decide

1239
01:18:53,169 --> 01:18:56,770
that we were a species
worth preserving after all,

1240
01:18:58,573 --> 01:19:00,043
regardless of our flaws.

1241
01:19:03,112 --> 01:19:04,711
He said their work is done

1242
01:19:04,713 --> 01:19:06,782
and, in time, they will return.

1243
01:19:15,290 --> 01:19:17,658
I never thought that
the GAD would've played

1244
01:19:17,660 --> 01:19:21,160
such an important part
in saving humanity.

1245
01:19:21,162 --> 01:19:25,833
We designed it to inform
extraterrestrial intelligent life

1246
01:19:25,835 --> 01:19:28,267
if they bothered reading it.

1247
01:19:28,269 --> 01:19:30,636
Uh...

1248
01:19:30,638 --> 01:19:34,307
It happened, they did.

1249
01:19:34,309 --> 01:19:38,811
Human beings,
when faced with the unknown,

1250
01:19:38,813 --> 01:19:43,883
there's an immediate reaction
to go on the offense.

1251
01:19:43,885 --> 01:19:45,685
You have two choices really:

1252
01:19:45,687 --> 01:19:47,354
Fight or flight.

1253
01:19:47,356 --> 01:19:48,888
That was our mindset.

1254
01:19:48,890 --> 01:19:51,225
Of course,
having the military involved,

1255
01:19:51,227 --> 01:19:54,328
that's going to be part of how
we approach these things.

1256
01:19:54,330 --> 01:19:56,762
And I think from early days,
you know,

1257
01:19:56,764 --> 01:19:59,266
since the beginning
of this discovery,

1258
01:19:59,268 --> 01:20:04,471
we gradually entered
onto that path

1259
01:20:04,473 --> 01:20:08,708
of feeling that
we were under threat.

1260
01:20:08,710 --> 01:20:11,377
And I have to say it never
really crossed our minds

1261
01:20:11,379 --> 01:20:14,347
for one single second

1262
01:20:14,349 --> 01:20:19,252
that there was something out
there that was helping us.

1263
01:20:19,254 --> 01:20:22,523
Now, I don't know why that
didn't occur to us,

1264
01:20:22,525 --> 01:20:26,293
but maybe it's a question
we need to ask ourselves.

1265
01:20:26,295 --> 01:20:29,629
Is everything
that we don't understand,

1266
01:20:29,631 --> 01:20:32,798
is it something to be feared
right off the bat

1267
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:34,767
as a knee-jerk reaction,

1268
01:20:34,769 --> 01:20:38,404
or is there space that we can
make to contemplate

1269
01:20:38,406 --> 01:20:40,207
that there could be
forces out there

1270
01:20:40,209 --> 01:20:42,508
that really are on our side,

1271
01:20:42,510 --> 01:20:45,712
and that are part of
helping us evolve?

1272
01:20:49,785 --> 01:20:51,584
Nothing...

1273
01:20:51,586 --> 01:20:56,690
We thought we knew
about physics, science...

1274
01:20:56,692 --> 01:20:59,293
About intelligent life,

1275
01:20:59,295 --> 01:21:02,729
nothing that we've theorized

1276
01:21:02,731 --> 01:21:06,566
could ever have
prepared us for this.

1277
01:21:06,568 --> 01:21:08,635
There's no physical,

1278
01:21:08,637 --> 01:21:11,204
scientific explanation for this

1279
01:21:11,206 --> 01:21:14,208
or why it happened.

1280
01:21:14,210 --> 01:21:17,644
Although the scientists and other
members of the space agency

1281
01:21:17,646 --> 01:21:19,846
are overwhelmed by this event,

1282
01:21:19,848 --> 01:21:22,216
the defense department can't
help but ask the question

1283
01:21:22,218 --> 01:21:24,551
about these aliens.

1284
01:21:24,553 --> 01:21:25,718
Is it in their best interest...

1285
01:21:27,289 --> 01:21:29,288
If the human race survives?

1286
01:21:29,290 --> 01:21:32,592
Every astronaut is fitted
with a tracking device.

1287
01:21:32,594 --> 01:21:34,293
So, in the early hours
of this morning,

1288
01:21:34,295 --> 01:21:36,629
the military homed in
on a tracking signal

1289
01:21:36,631 --> 01:21:39,233
that was consistent
with the device

1290
01:21:39,235 --> 01:21:40,534
carried by astronaut
Jim Marcell.

1291
01:21:41,937 --> 01:21:43,971
They found him wandering around

1292
01:21:43,973 --> 01:21:47,807
in a state of complete shock
in the Arizona desert.

1293
01:21:47,809 --> 01:21:51,280
And, um, we have no idea
how he got there.

1294
01:21:56,652 --> 01:21:58,685
I think maybe
we can assume that,

1295
01:21:58,687 --> 01:22:00,721
now that The Void
has disappeared,

1296
01:22:00,723 --> 01:22:04,291
his role as a conduit
is no longer necessary.

1297
01:22:04,293 --> 01:22:08,294
Unfortunately, um, Jim Marcell
has no recollection

1298
01:22:08,296 --> 01:22:10,463
of what happened to him
on the other side of The Void.

1299
01:22:10,465 --> 01:22:13,870
And he will need some time to
come to terms with recent events.

1300
01:22:16,037 --> 01:22:18,404
We really have no idea

1301
01:22:18,406 --> 01:22:20,873
what he experienced on
the other side of The Void.

1302
01:22:35,390 --> 01:22:37,490
Since the
disappearance of The Void

1303
01:22:37,492 --> 01:22:40,761
and the black spheres, we've
been noticing a lot of strange

1304
01:22:40,763 --> 01:22:44,297
and fascinating activity
above our planet.

1305
01:22:44,299 --> 01:22:45,998
An aftermath of recent events.

1306
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:50,703
This swirling cloud of gas,
and dust and ice

1307
01:22:50,705 --> 01:22:55,042
could be seen producing
what appeared to be planets

1308
01:22:55,044 --> 01:22:58,477
and their moons being pulled
down into their own gravity.

1309
01:23:02,651 --> 01:23:06,019
It's now looking like
we have a new solar system.

1310
01:23:06,021 --> 01:23:08,622
The fact that
it's actually happened,

1311
01:23:08,624 --> 01:23:10,891
unsettling on, sort of,
the deepest level

1312
01:23:10,893 --> 01:23:14,727
because it throws into question
every single thing

1313
01:23:14,729 --> 01:23:19,999
that I and my colleagues
have learned about our earth,

1314
01:23:20,001 --> 01:23:25,739
our solar system,
space and beyond.

1315
01:23:25,741 --> 01:23:30,677
What resulted was the
formation of a new planet...

1316
01:23:30,679 --> 01:23:33,012
Right next to ours.

1317
01:23:33,014 --> 01:23:35,349
Like a sister planet

1318
01:23:35,351 --> 01:23:37,417
directly in our orbit.

1319
01:23:37,419 --> 01:23:41,887
Our unmanned probes performed
atmosphere and surface scans.

1320
01:23:41,889 --> 01:23:46,059
And the resulting data indicated
that this new planet

1321
01:23:46,061 --> 01:23:50,696
has all of the ingredients
required to sustain human life.

1322
01:23:50,698 --> 01:23:54,400
From surface temperature,
to magnetic field,

1323
01:23:54,402 --> 01:23:56,470
water, oxygen.

1324
01:23:56,472 --> 01:24:00,774
It was as though this planet
was custom-built just for us.

1325
01:24:00,776 --> 01:24:03,776
This new planet and its mass,

1326
01:24:03,778 --> 01:24:06,379
it's almost identical
to our planet.

1327
01:24:06,381 --> 01:24:09,082
With a 10% variation in size.

1328
01:24:09,084 --> 01:24:12,889
That's why we're starting to
refer to it as Earth Two.

1329
01:24:18,927 --> 01:24:21,727
With future world populations
predicted to soar

1330
01:24:21,729 --> 01:24:23,797
above 12 billion

1331
01:24:23,799 --> 01:24:27,667
and resources are running out,

1332
01:24:27,669 --> 01:24:31,837
it's impossible to
accurately determine

1333
01:24:31,839 --> 01:24:35,041
how long we'll actually
sustain life here.

1334
01:24:35,043 --> 01:24:37,711
So when a mission
like this comes along,

1335
01:24:37,713 --> 01:24:39,779
leaders of the world's nations

1336
01:24:39,781 --> 01:24:45,584
will pay any cost
to be part of this.

1337
01:24:45,586 --> 01:24:47,753
The arrival
of Earth Two has set off

1338
01:24:47,755 --> 01:24:52,592
what can only be described
as a 21st century Gold Rush.

1339
01:24:52,594 --> 01:24:54,127
Corporations
and governments alike

1340
01:24:54,129 --> 01:24:55,928
are quickly
positioning themselves,

1341
01:24:55,930 --> 01:24:57,631
and their countries's interests,

1342
01:24:57,633 --> 01:24:59,432
for our new neighboring planet.

1343
01:24:59,434 --> 01:25:02,202
The U.N. has called upon
all leaders from key nations

1344
01:25:02,204 --> 01:25:05,905
to come together to discuss
interplanetary strategies,

1345
01:25:05,907 --> 01:25:08,108
which include the use
of nuclear power

1346
01:25:08,110 --> 01:25:10,177
to assist in colonization.

1347
01:25:10,179 --> 01:25:11,977
Meanwhile,
people all over the world

1348
01:25:11,979 --> 01:25:15,181
are taking to social media
to express their hopes,

1349
01:25:15,183 --> 01:25:17,650
thoughts and concerns.

1350
01:25:17,652 --> 01:25:21,087
Earth Two is a
chance to build a new life.

1351
01:25:21,089 --> 01:25:24,190
What I'd like to know is
who is making those decisions?

1352
01:25:24,192 --> 01:25:26,059
Rich and politicians,
they can't be the one

1353
01:25:26,061 --> 01:25:29,029
to make this decision about
our children's future hope.

1354
01:25:29,031 --> 01:25:31,565
I mean, what if there
is life on the new earth?

1355
01:25:31,567 --> 01:25:33,166
I mean, what are we gonna see?

1356
01:25:33,168 --> 01:25:35,802
What are we gonna find
when we get up there?

1357
01:25:35,804 --> 01:25:37,703
We're gonna absolutely
destroy that planet.

1358
01:25:37,705 --> 01:25:39,004
Because the
governments are corrupt.

1359
01:25:39,006 --> 01:25:40,640
We should go to Earth Two
because that way

1360
01:25:40,642 --> 01:25:42,508
they can stay here
and they can continue to fight.

1361
01:25:42,510 --> 01:25:43,677
I don't buy it.

1362
01:25:43,679 --> 01:25:46,046
I think this is
a mining operation

1363
01:25:46,048 --> 01:25:47,780
for minerals and resources.

1364
01:25:47,782 --> 01:25:49,716
This discovery changed

1365
01:25:49,718 --> 01:25:52,218
everything we know
about the universe

1366
01:25:52,220 --> 01:25:53,986
and about ourselves.

1367
01:25:53,988 --> 01:25:56,122
Not like democracy
exists anyway, right?

1368
01:25:56,124 --> 01:25:58,725
But we should vote on the kind of
people that we want to send there.

1369
01:25:58,727 --> 01:26:00,827
The very best scientists,
the very best artists,

1370
01:26:00,829 --> 01:26:02,529
the very best philosophers,

1371
01:26:02,531 --> 01:26:05,798
and people that actually
think and care about humanity.

1372
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:08,968
Well, this occurrence
has opened up the Pandora's box

1373
01:26:08,970 --> 01:26:11,570
of whys.

1374
01:26:11,572 --> 01:26:14,173
There's also a whole host
of—of...

1375
01:26:14,175 --> 01:26:17,043
other complicated questions.

1376
01:26:17,045 --> 01:26:21,681
Specifically, how do we proceed?

1377
01:26:29,758 --> 01:26:32,626
It's been 12 months
since we last saw The Void.

1378
01:26:32,628 --> 01:26:34,793
Yet I have this sure feeling,

1379
01:26:34,795 --> 01:26:37,230
they haven't really left us.

1380
01:26:37,232 --> 01:26:38,597
And if anything,

1381
01:26:38,599 --> 01:26:39,900
they're still observing us.

1382
01:26:42,237 --> 01:26:45,838
Today, we are sending
the first manned spacecrafts

1383
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:47,172
to Earth Two.

1384
01:26:51,213 --> 01:26:55,882
The space agency decided that
we send only Human 2.0's first

1385
01:26:55,884 --> 01:26:58,952
with the intention of
running tests on Earth Two

1386
01:26:58,954 --> 01:27:00,686
in order to lay down
the foundations

1387
01:27:00,688 --> 01:27:02,622
for when the time is right

1388
01:27:02,624 --> 01:27:05,691
to commence sending humans
to settle down

1389
01:27:05,693 --> 01:27:10,297
and colonize for
future generations.

1390
01:27:32,353 --> 01:27:35,888
But one does wonder whether
we will make the same mistakes

1391
01:27:35,890 --> 01:27:37,927
we've been making for centuries.

1392
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:47,801
How can we ensure this new home

1393
01:27:47,803 --> 01:27:49,205
brings out the best in us?

1394
01:27:52,174 --> 01:27:55,675
Or how we, and our
future generations,

1395
01:27:55,677 --> 01:27:58,744
don't make the same mistakes
we did in our past,

1396
01:27:58,746 --> 01:28:02,584
and prove that our existence
was worth saving.

1397
01:28:06,988 --> 01:28:09,288
We were so obsessed
with discovering new life

1398
01:28:09,290 --> 01:28:11,624
when, on reflection,

1399
01:28:11,626 --> 01:28:14,927
we have still yet
to discover ourselves.

1400
01:28:21,036 --> 01:28:24,640
We now have another chance
to do just that.
