[Jim] Sandra, it's Jim.

I have an urgent situation.

One of the old processing facilities went dark

seven days ago.

Alta Mira on the dark side of Mercury.

Crew hasn't responded to any of our calls.

I'm sorry, but I really can't help you.

[Jim] It doesn't have to be this way between us.

Whose fault is that?

[Jim] It is mine.

But it's been three years.

Okay, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry that I-

- Okay, you know what? - Moved on.

Jim, find somebody else, all right.

I'm busy.

[Jim] I've tried, the wait list is two months long.

If we wait till then

we'll lose our shareholders' confidence.

(celestial music)

[Trooper] Warning, you are outside of your assigned zone.

[Jim] It's two weeks of work, $80,000.

What more can I? I mean.

[Trooper] Please return immediately or risk a penalty.

I don't understand.

Why are you picking me?

[Jim] I trust your judgment, Sandra.

I know you'll be discreet.

(notification dings)

[AI] You have an incoming message.

(message buzzes)

Play it.

(device dings) Sandra, it's me.

I have an update on your mission.

(device buzzing)

The Alta Mira Space Station has been placed on lockdown.

It was a security bridge.

We're still investigating the cause.

Jesus Christ.

You'll have limited access while you're there.

You'll have access to the bridge,

the kitchen area, and the crew quarters.

That's it.

How the hell am I supposed to do an investigation?

The hope is that once you're settled in

and we complete our investigation,

the lockdown restriction can be lifted.

Amy and I are beyond grateful for everything you're doing.

I can't thank you enough for your help.

Actually, you can think of a few ways you can thank me.

Please be safe.

I will await your update.

Investigation 2670 regarding loss of communication

with the Alta Mira Space Station.

(spacesuit beeping)

Today is Tuesday, March 14th, 2047. 11:00 PM Zulu time.

First details, power system has been completely shut off.

I assume that's a result of the lockdown.

I need to bring that back online.

The kitchen area is messy.

Lots of dishes and plates on the counters.

(computers beeping)

Some traces of bacteria.

(computers continue beeping)

Foodstuffs appear desiccated.

I'm going to say 10 days.

Surfaces will need to be swabbed.

In the crew quarters, three well-made beds

and one not-so-well-made. (suspenseful music)

Various personal effects.

It's pretty cramped in here.

I'm guessing hospitality

isn't a priority for excavation missions these days.

(eerie suspenseful music)

Okay, in the corner of the room, there's a scorched spot.

Something happened here, ugh.

There's a terrible smell.

I'm even getting it through my helmet.

These are corrosive chemicals.

Why the hell would you have those here?

(dramatic suspenseful music)

(gasps) Holy shit!

That's a casualty.

That is a dead male, late 30s or early 40s.

It's hard to tell.

(dramatic suspenseful music)

I can't open the door.

You're just gonna have to take my word for it.

You can review the video feed.

I'm checking out the AI unit now.

(eerie music)

Trying to power it up.

Okay, gonna try the manual override.

Standby.

If we don't have AI, this will be a very short trip.

(AVERI buzzing)

Power recycled working.

(AVERI buzzing) [AVERI] Welcome.

I'm AVERI, advanced AI recovery system

for the Alta Mira Space Station.

To whom do I have the pleasure of?

Inputting access code X263ZU7738.

[AVERI] Voice interface activated.

Please select one of the following.

Just run through the list.

[AVERI] I am AVERI, advanced AI recovery system

for the Alta Mira. No. Next.

[AVERI] I am AVERI, advanced AI recovery system for the.

Stop! Jesus, a little girl.

Next.

[AVERI] I'm AVERI, advanced AI recovery system

And who's this then?

Oh, my God. Stop.

Is there a voice called Lena in your catalog?

Just gimme that one.

[AVERI] I am AVERI,

advanced AI recovery system

for the Alta Mira Space Station.

To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?

Sandra Ramirez.

[AVERI] Welcome, Captain Ramirez.

Tell me about the crew.

Gimme the skinny on each one.

Gimme their background.

[AVERI] Captain Thomas Fleming is a 15-year veteran

at Moreland Mineral.

11 long-range and over 37 short-range missions.

He advanced to the rank of senior officer eight years ago.

He is divorced, no children.

And what about the other three?

Sykes, Shipley, and Westover.

[AVERI] Jeremy Sykes has a documented gambling problem.

He belongs to the group and is receiving treatment.

April Shipley is a junior officer

highly motivated to succeed

sometimes at the expense of her colleagues.

Nothing on Phoebe Westover.

Do you have audio recordings?

[AVERI] Some.

What about video?

[AVERI] Nothing, unfortunately.

All of the ship security cameras were disabled

for a period of 72 hours.

The only recordings I have received is this.

What do you think happened here?

If you had to speculate.

[AVERI] There's a 13.3% chance

I can accurately reconstruct the events

that led to the cruise departure from Alta Mira.

This isn't a board of inquiry.

Just tell me what you think.

[AVERI] An unknown group may have forced their way

onto the space station.

Hijackers?

[AVERI] I see evidence of it. Yes.

So, hijackers came aboard and then they left.

(celestial music)

[AI] Psychological profile test 1.

Please state full name.

Sandra Grace Ramirez.

Date of birth: August 24th, 2018.

Do you harbor any resentments?

No.

[AI] How do you feel about your own divorce?

How do you feel about your own divorce?

I don't know. It is what it is.

[AI] Do you harbor resentments towards Jim?

No.

[AI] How many significant relationships have you had

since the time when you were married?

Fewer than three?

is under control?

I do, yes.

[AI] Psychological profile is complete.

Results will be shared with Earth base.

(spaceship whirring)

(device dings)

[Jeremy] Just listen to this baseline.

This is like pure genius. (rock music)

[April] It's so depressing.

[Jeremy] No it's not. You're crazy.

[April] Crazy for you, butthead.

(door clicks) (door whirls)

[Phoebe] Oh, sorry.

I was just looking for something.

[April] Anything we can help you with, sweetie?

[Phoebe] Um, yeah.

No, I, I, I thought I left it here, but I, I didn't.

Nevermind.

[Jeremy] What's the rush?

No need to run away. Stay a while.

You might like it.

[Phoebe] Please take your hand off me.

[April] You know what?

I just realized I forgot something. Be right back.

[Phoebe] April, wait.

(door bangs)

[Jeremy] Looks like it's just you and me now.

(notification buzzes)

(eerie music)

AVERI, when was the last communication

between this facility and Earth?

[AVERI] Nine days ago.

Can you retrieve that message?

[AVERI] One moment.

I am retrieving the message now.

Message retrieved.

Playing message now.

(static quivers)

(alarm blares loudly) Somebody is deliberately

withholding information from us.

I've come across an encrypted file.

(static quivers)

They haven't told us everything there is to know

about this mission.

And now, we've got visitors. (metal banging)

And now we've got visitors to contend with.

People are forcing their way aboard.

I'm doing everything I can

to stop them. (machine buzzing)

Abandoning the facility may be the only option we have left.

Do not execute the XD-17 initiative, whatever you do.

(device dings)

What's the condition of the main transmitter lines?

[AVERI] The main transmitter lines are functional.

Did the shuttle craft attempt to contact

the space station after they left?

[AVERI] Ma'am, you have an incoming message from Earth.

Play it.

(notification dings)

Sandra, it's me.

The telemetry shows that you arrived safely.

I hope you're okay.

Please let me know if your preliminary investigation

has yielded anything.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ (door creaks)

I don't wanna put the pressure on Sandra,

but we need answers.

Right now, you are the only eyes and ears

we have about whatever happened there.

I have a board meeting this afternoon.

And it would be great if I could provide them

with some news, anything really.

I appreciate you doing this.

Please be safe.

Let me know what you come up with.

(notification buzzes)

(eerie music)

Replay the last message.

[AVERI] Yes, ma'am.

People are forcing their way aboard.

I'm doing everything I can to stop them.

(machine whirring loudly) Abandoning the facility

may be the only option we have left.

(crew member whistles faintly)

Stop the message.

Play from the beginning.

(recording hissing)

Somebody is deliberately withholding information from us.

I've come across an encrypted file.

If you're looking for a way out, go to the Meadow.

(static screeching loudly)

[AVERI] My apologies, ma'am.

The file has become corrupted.

What do you mean corrupted?

[AVERI] I'm no longer able to play it.

(suspenseful music)

(device dings)

(computer buzzes)

[AI] Attempted override of lockdown is denied.

Jim, it's me.

The Alta Mira is completely deserted.

By all indications, the crew left in a hurry.

There's at least one casualty,

a body near the cargo hold.

Defensive counterattack Norathox cocktail.

Without being able to access the rest of the ship,

I'm at a disadvantage.

There's some evidence

that this might have been a hijacking gone wrong.

I wish I could tell you more.

Sandra, out.

(device dings)

(machine beeping faintly)

[Reporter] The Amazon rainforest was depleted this week

by an additional 10,000 hectares.

It has hope that the current off-planet measures

will help restore nitrogen level.

In other news,

a 10-year-old Scandinavian girl has emerged as a winner

in the World Ice Shovel Racing Championship.

(spaceship whirring)

[AI] Are you overly concerned

about your welfare and wellbeing?

Not overly, no.

[AI] Do you trust the people in your life?

[Sandra] Yes.

[AI] Why do you trust them?

[Sandra] I just do.

[AI] Have you ever felt unfairly judged?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

[AI] Have you ever suspected that your friends may speak

in a disparaging manner about you when you are not around?

No.

[AI] Is the glass half empty or half full?

It depends.

[AI] Psychological profile is complete.

You will be retested in two days.

(water sloshing)

[AI] You are loved by others.

You are a respected individual.

Your needs are being met each and every day.

You can easily envision all outcomes.

(bag zipping)

(gun clicks)

Help you with something.

(tense music)

This what you're looking for?

Who the hell are you?

What are you doing here?

Answer me.

How did you get in here?

Have you been here the whole time?

Is that it?

(light switch zaps)

When The fighting started

the other crew members took the shuttle and left.

I stayed.

The Marauders blew them outta the sky.

So, there are no other survivors, just you.

And who launched the attack?

I told you the Marauders.

Who are they?

Look, lady, I don't know you anything, okay?

I have been stuck here for the past seven days.

Right, then, yeah, I, I heard noises,

came down to see what it was.

Now, I see it's some corporate halfwit the company sent.

My name's Sandra Ramirez.

I'm the forensic investigator.

You're nobody, okay.

That's who you are.

Oh, you have coffee.

If you're willing to treat me like a decent human being,

yes, I do.

That's fair.

There were four of them, four men.

They forced their way under the space station.

Started taking things.

Just any and all high-value objects.

D7's.

What?

[Sandra] Marauders?

(static screeching) Yes, Marauders.

Fucking space pirates.

Are these real eggs?

Of course not, what (speaks faintly).

Captain Fleming and the others took the shuttle and left.

I refused to go.

The Marauders went after them.

Any idea who sent them?

I don't know.

But they knew what they were doing.

They were organized.

Four of 'em.

Well, there's three now.

I took one of 'em out near the cargo bay.

The Norathox cocktail. That was you.

I was highly motivated.

You mean highly stupid.

You could have burned down the entire facility.

I knew what I was doing, what's the big deal?

The deal is this,

it's illegal to deploy a Norathox cocktail.

It's strictly forbidden.

Paragraph 18, acceptable countermeasures.

God, there's so many fricking rules

and lists of things you can and can't do here.

I don't read those things.

Well, you should.

It's your job.

But maybe you're exempt.

After all, you're the victim.

The lone survivor.

Screw you.

Look, I didn't ask for this and neither did you,

but we're here.

We need to figure this out.

Yeah, tracking space parts

is not part of my job description.

You just don't pay me enough.

We need to come up with.

No, no, no, no, okay?

You're the senior officer,

the captain, or whatever the hell your title is.

All right, this is your problem.

You can figure it out, okay?

You figure it out.

I'm gonna grab some shit

then I'll be in the server room.

You can find me there.

(device dings) (uplifting celestial music)

Jim, it's Sandra giving you an update.

I found one survivor, Phoebe Westover.

She's been hiding out in the ceiling ductwork.

She seems pretty traumatized.

It's sounding like the events here

were the result of shakedown by a team of D7's, Marauders.

I'm going to dig in and get more details.

Hopefully, get more answers.

I'll update you again soon.

Sandra out.

(button clicks)

AVERI, I need you to run a probability report.

What are the odds these Marauders return to Alta Mira?

[AVERI] The data you have provided is incomplete.

Just gimme your best estimate.

[AVERI] Based upon the available information.

I can predict with 74% certainty

that the road pirates known as the Marauders

will return to the space station in the next 24 to 36 hours.

(celestial music continues)

(spaceship humming faintly)

Show me what's up there.

It's just a space, it's nothing.

Let me see it.

Watch the thing?

Okay. (exhales)

Jesus!

What?

This is disgusting.

Rats shouldn't live like this.

This place kept me alive for seven days,

what the hell do you know?

Where do you get your drinking water?

Right here.

That's the waterline Alta Mira uses to cool its engines.

What about?

What about waste?

Like poop?

It's that container you're sitting on.

Oh, that's really gross.

It's got an airtight lid.

Everything else I need is right here.

I've got food.

Hot plate to heat things up.

Regular doomsday prepper.

Yeah, that's right.

When shit comes down, I'm ready.

I don't know about you.

I've been in contact with Earth.

If things get dangerous, I can call in an SOS.

You think they'll come up here and save us?

If we're in trouble, yes.

Jim will take care of it.

Who's Jim?

My ex-husband.

Oh, yes. Jim, the ex-husband.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, he's all over it.

(celestial music)

(computer buzzing loudly)

How's it looking?

I haven't been able to run any diagnostics

since before this happened.

What can you tell me about the Marauders?

Like I said,

there were four of them and I took one of them out.

So, three now.

The leader's name was Bromfeld.

Big guy, like football player big.

What do you think they're after? If you had to guess.

Same thing any criminal wants power, money.

Did they say anything about why they came here

to the Alta Mira?

I'm sure the mineral ore had something to do with it.

The high-density nickel hex site.

Anything else?

No, the other two, they didn't say much.

I think, I think one of 'em had a parrot and an eye patch.

So, the other crew members left. But you stayed.

That's right.

Why?

You know, I really don't appreciate

this whole interrogation thing you're pulling.

I'm trying to understand what happened.

Your fellow crew members left.

You didn't, why not?

Because I had zero confidence in their ability

to deal with what was happening.

So, you stayed here.

That's right.

I know this place.

Comfortable doing what it takes to survive.

Got on the shuttle.

I'm not in control.

I wanna go left, they go right.

Say we should attack, your hell bent on retreat.

Did you argue with them?

Yeah, I told 'em I wasn't leaving.

Fleming wasn't so happy about it.

Captain Fleming?

He accused me of insubordination,

said he was gonna write me up.

I told him good luck with that.

And how long until the Marauders went after the shuttle?

About an hour later, I guess.

They wanted to grab as much

as they could here first.

So, they left you here?

They didn't know I existed.

(eerie music)

Jim, it's Sandra.

It sounds like the D7's,

the Marauders might still be in the vicinity.

I'll have another update for you in about an hour.

(device dings)

You know those guys will be coming back here.

You've got a ship,

sensible thing is for us to get out of here.

This space station is private property.

Okay, so what?

You're gonna protect it.

It's my job.

You'll be outnumbered.

Maybe. We've got AVERI and then there's you.

This is a suicide mission.

If you try to take those guys on, it's not gonna end well.

I didn't come up here empty-handed, I've got armaments.

Weapons, guns.

Advanced motion sensing turret guns.

I can set 'em up, put 'em at the airlock door.

Uh, it'll destroy the Alta Mira.

It'll be damaged,

but it can be repaired later.

And it'll keep the facility out of their hands.

You're crazy. Anybody ever tell you that?

A few people, actually, yeah.

So, what happened with you guys, you and Jim?

I didn't take care of business.

You mean you didn't?

I took care of that.

I didn't take care of other things.

I wasn't there for him when he needed me.

I was on a mission to Ganymede when Jim moved out.

Eight months later,

he married his administrative assistant.

Was she hot?

(sighs) They're happy together.

But what about you?

Any battle scars?

No, I don't,

I don't get close to anyone like that.

It's better that way.

Don't have any expectations,

which means I don't get disappointed.

[AVERI] I have detected that the men

known as the Marauders are en route to the space station.

ETA until arrival?

[AVERI] Five and one-half hours.

How sure are you?

[AVERI] My estimate has an accuracy of 96%.

Margin of error, plus or minus 17 minutes.

Okay, I guess this party's getting started then, huh?

[Jim] The latest updates from the Alta Mira

appear promising.

The crew members seem to have abandoned the facility.

However, the space station itself

is in excellent operating condition.

[Board Member] Can we trust that Sandra Ramirez

will follow the mission objectives?

[Jim] Everything's under control.

Sandra will take care of it.

[Board Member] Mr. Ramirez,

we're at a critical juncture here.

We need things to move in our favor.

(static screeches)

[Jim] Sandra will do what she was hired to do.

She'll figure out what happened.

(Phoebe sighs deeply)

What?

You really think you can stop 'em?

That little peace shooter.

Well, at least I'm doing something about it.

- Yeah. - I'm not hiding up

in a crawl space like that.

Yep, okay, well, see ya.

(door bangs)

Ye have little faith.

(door creaks faintly) (eerie music)

(papers and plastics rustling)

(fast-paced rock music)

(bottle taps)

(spaceship whirring) (computers beeping)

(device dings)

I don't get you.

What do you mean?

Your solution to rogue pirates is to hide.

You don't know them.

They're breaking the law. What else is there to know?

These guys are professionals, okay?

They've already taken out the shuttlecraft

and the rest of the crew.

They're organized, that should tell you a lot.

You think someone's funding them?

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised

they're talking to someone on their radios.

Well, this time they're not coming aboard.

Suppose they do.

[Sandra] They won't.

Yeah, but if they do,

I mean, where are you gonna go?

You, you're gonna try to fight 'em like Jeremy did.

Or maybe you'll pretend you're on board

with the whole thing.

Just go along with your plan Like April tried to.

Or, yeah, I guess you can make a run for it.

Look, whatever you do, it won't be enough.

(celestial music)

AVERI, gimme an update on the Marauders.

[AVERI] Estimated time of arrival is 31 minutes.

Smart money's on that crawlspace.

There's enough room up there for two.

I'm staying.

Okay, well, in that case, it's been nice knowing you.

Don't trip on your way up there.

They, obviously, plan to do something with the Alta Mira.

The question is what?

You sure we can't get any video?

[Phoebe] Sorry.

And these are the same guys from before.

- Come on! Have some balls. - Yes, I'm positive.

[Bromfeld] Guys, knock it off.

(plastics rustling drown out Lasseter)

Guys, knock it off.

What'd they tell you when you took this mission?

Oh, Jim said they'd lost contact with the crew.

They needed me to get the Alta Mira back online.

Find out what happened.

You trust him, this Jim guy?

With my life.

Till death do you part.

[Lasseter] I think we need

to discuss the money situation.

[Bromfeld] No, that's not a discussion.

(machine whirring loudly)

(metal banging)

(glass shatters)

[AVERI] What are you doing to me?

You do not have the authority.

(AVERI screams)

What's going on?

[Sandra] I think they're breaking into AVERI.

Why?

I don't know.

Maybe they wanna access the hardware, AVERI's brain.

(sighs) Man, seriously, fuck this!

I didn't sign up for this shit.

Gosh, I just took this stupid job

'cause I needed the money because I was broke.

Hey, we're going to get out of this.

What are you doing?

[Sandra] There should be a comm link connection

in here somewhere.

Yeah, it's near the back corner.

All right, we can use this to get a message out.

Alert Earth, let them know

what the hell's happening out here.

You think that's gonna work?

It has to work.

(metal bangs)

(device beeping)

(alarm blaring)

[Lasseter] Whoa, we got activity.

[Bromfeld] Where?

[Lasseter] There's an active comm link

somewhere inside the facility.

[Bromfeld] Find it and kill it.

Jim, it's Sandra.

I'm officially issuing an SOS.

The Alta Mira has been taken over by men of unknown origin.

I need you to send a police unit immediately.

We are no longer in control of this facility.

(static hissing loudly) Sandra, Sandra.

They cut the transmission line, it's dead.

Oh, fuck!

We've gotta do something.

We can't just sit here and let them take over the station.

You're right.

The micro pod you used to get here.

It's at the other end of the facility.

We're not leaving.

God! Come on.

Come on, why are you so hell-bent on saving this place?

I signed a contract, okay?

I took the job.

It's my responsibility to see this through.

Please tell me this is not about that guy

you were married to, Jim.

I'm just saying on every TV crime show

it is always the ex-husband with the accident.

The divorce was amicable, all right?

I wasn't fit to be married.

Who the hell is, right?

I've never even been in any real relationship.

Never?

It's too much work.

Fuck'em.

Look, there's something they didn't tell you

when you took this mission, okay?

I know you don't wanna consider that,

but it's the fucking truth.

What do you mean?

I was alone up here for seven days, okay?

It gave me plenty of time to think about things.

What things?

(debris clattering)

An additional item was added to the mission list

just after takeoff while we were on the way here.

XD-17.

What are you saying.

With all this,

the hijacking,

taking out the other crew members,

hacking into AVERI's hardware.

What if it all has something to do with XD-17?

Like someone needed to make dead certain that it happened.

Who?

Your guess is as good as mine?

(computers beeping)

[Bromfeld] If I find out somebody's aboard this facility

besides the three of us

and they're messing with our plan,

I'll be very upset with you, Vincent.

[Lasseter] I'll check the facility again, okay?

If that makes you happy.

[Bromfeld] It's in your best interest to keep me happy,

remember that.

No one gets paid until the job is complete.

This doesn't have a termination date on it.

Yeah, that's right.

And there's no authorization signature,

which means somebody pushed it through last minute.

Like, take a look at the timestamp.

Yeah, see, 15:30 hours.

That's three hours after we left Earth.

It was a mission update,

one that nobody aboard the station knew about.

Where did you get this?

I heard some of the Marauders talking about it.

So, I snagged it out of Fleming's office.

This is why they're here.

Yeah, maybe.

Can you get us any kind of visual on these guys?

Anything so we can see where they are.

(keyboard clicking loudly)

(pipes hissing)

[Lasseter] Everything's me.

It's always me.

Vincent, take care of this.

Take care of that.

They killed you, Benji.

I promise you they're gonna pay.

Okay, so there's a motion sensor in every room

in the facility.

If I can just daisy chain them together,

lay them over a schematic of the station.

We might be able to see something.

Are you cold?

A little.

(device dings)

(device dings) Sandra, it's me.

We found debris from a destroyed shuttlecraft

floating 200 kilometers away from the Alta Mira.

(static screeching loudly) It was just fragments.

But the homing beacon was still active.

It could be whatever is left from the Alta Mira crew.

We're also receiving signs that the AI unit

may be malfunctioning.

There are several instances

of it exhibiting non-standard behavior.

Okay, I almost got it here.

Including insecure communications with two other outposts.

Please be careful,

whatever it is you're dealing with out there.

You know, Amy, despite her best efforts,

she's not here.

(device hisses)

Okay, come here.

Okay, so here's two of the guys right here:

runner A and runner B.

What about the other guy?

Yeah, so, if we jog over to the side of the ship,

yeah, there he is.

He's hanging out in the crew quarters,

it's that dot right there.

Oh, you are fucking brilliant.

Anyone ever tell you that?

Not many people, no.

Don't do that again.

What were you looking at on your tablet?

Jim sent me a message.

They found evidence of the shuttlecraft.

It is completely destroyed.

So, the Marauders got 'em.

There are two other mining outposts nearby,

Periphery and Augusta.

And what about 'em?

If you have control of all three,

you'd have a pretty tight lock

on this part of the solar system.

Maybe that's what XD-17's all about.

(machine clanking)

[Massey] Hardware upgrade is complete.

The AI unit is all yours, boss.

(device beeps)

[Bromfeld] What about the others?

Those are not in plain sight.

Plenty of ways to flesh 'em out into the open.

[Bromfeld] Excellent. Find me one.

(device beeps)

[Massey] Yo, Lasseter.

Hey, jerkoff, I need you to access the heating system.

What do these three facilities have in common?

They have the same engines.

Maybe they mine or excavate the same minerals.

What else?

Look, those guys are upgrading the AI system, okay?

I'm not gonna walk into some trap

because you are too stubborn.

What?

Too stubborn to what?

Leave.

(gentle ominous music)

You cold?

Me too.

Temperature seems like it's dropped 10 degrees

in the last five minutes.

They must have done something.

You think?

Feel the floor.

There you go.

(Sandra sighs)

(gentle ominous music continues)

(eerie music)

It's freezing.

How do we turn the heat back on?

There's an access hatch at the other end

of the crawlspace, but it's risky.

One of the hijackers could see us.

Better off just staying here,

just keep our bodies close together.

(stove clunks)

(somber celestial music)

What was he like when you guys first met?

Jim?

He had this presence.

I don't know.

There was just something about him.

And I always wanted to be around him.

Sounds nice.

Never felt that way about anyone.

I keep my distance.

When I'm not freezing my off, I mean.

Ramirez.

What kind of last name is that anyway?

That's Jim's name.

My maiden name is Claremont.

It's got a nice ring to it.

(somber celestial music continues)

Stop, stop, wait.

What is it?

What's going on?

Oh, fuck.

We're using up our oxygen supply.

Those fuckers cut the oxygen.

Hey, how do we turn it back on?

We need to run a supply tube to the floor below us.

Turn the hot plate off.

Hey, Phoebe.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Okay, oh, fuck.

Oh, God. Okay.

(sighs) I can't let this happen.

A tube, a tube, a tube. (mutters)

Okay.

(lively playful music)

(pipes rattling)

(Sandra exhales sharply)

(Phoebe breathing faintly)

(lively playful music continues)

(breathing deeply) They cut the oxygen.

It's making us lightheaded.

We need to figure out a way to restore it.

Are you saying our moment back then didn't count?

Okay, we can talk about it later.

We need to run a second hose to the access hatch

at the other end of the space station.

I'll be right back.

(lively playful music intensifying)

Phoebe, wait!

(metal clucks)

(lively playful music continues)

(Phoebe breathing deeply) (eerie music)

(static screeching)

(heartbeat thumping) (child screaming)

I hope you rot in hell you piece of shit.

(eerie music)

Okay, that's done.

Should be okay for a little while.

Next time we do it together, okay?

No more of this cowboy shit.

Shit, were you worried about me?

These guys know we're somewhere on the ship, okay?

They're not gonna stop until they flush us outta hiding.

There's gotta be something we can do

to slow 'em down somehow.

Okay, if we can lure one of them

to the after part of the ship,

we might be able to drop 'em there, you know?

Separate 'em from the others.

(keyboard clicking softly)

(computers beeping faintly)

(alarm blaring)

[Bromfeld] What's that?

[Lasseter] Someone tripped a sensor

at the back of the ship.

A restricted area.

[Bromfeld] Go check it out.

Okay. He's heading there now.

Which room?

It's the electrical closets

full of high-voltage equipment.

We need to lock him inside.

Electrocute him somehow.

(tense chip music) There's no way to do that.

Use the PA system, talk to him.

This is stupid, okay?

We can't win this.

We, we need to get to the micro pot and leave.

I told you already, I don't.

No, I know,

I know you're doing this for your ex,

for Jim or whatever, but,

but it's a waste of time, okay?

You've got other shit waiting for you.

We can get out of this alive.

You need to keep him inside that room.

(Phoebe breathes deeply)

(device dings)

Hey, Mr. Marauder.

My name is Phoebe Westover.

(servers beeping loudly)

Guess you figured out by now

we're hiding here inside of this room.

Just move those cables outta the way

you'll probably be able to see us.

(device dings)

He's not buying it. He's turning around.

No, no, no, no. He's coming back.

Okay, Sandra, come on.

We have to be realistic here.

Okay, wait.

Wait for it. Wait.

Okay, hit it.

(computer buzzes)

(electrical circuits trill)

That was the power surge.

Look, look, look. He's not moving.

It worked, we took him out.

(tense music)

(tense music intensifies)

[Massey] Lasseter's not answering.

[Bromfeld] Keep changing the ship's orientation.

Whoever's inside we'll shake him out.

(alarm blaring)

It's the Marauders, they're screwing with the gyros.

If the station falls outta orbit, we'll slam into mercury.

(alarm continues blaring)

(wood thuds)

Sandra, please, we need to stay here.

I'm tired of waiting, Phoebe.

You're right, Jim's never coming back.

[Massey] Hardware upgrade is complete.

The AI unit is all yours, boss.

[Bromfeld] Gimme some light over here.

[Lasseter] Place looks just like we left it.

(static squeaking) (air quivers)

- Not completely. - Come on, have some balls.

You never do anything.

You're one lazy. Guys, knock it off.

[Bromfeld] I want them brought here now.

Search every corner of this place.

[Massey] On it, boss.

I'm on it. (suspenseful music)

[Bromfeld] We need to send a clear message.

The company will not tolerate this level of insubordination.

They will pay dearly for their Arab behavior.

Show them no mercy.

What the hell?

Where are the Marauders?

[AVERI] I'm surprised it took you so long

to figure it out, Captain Ramirez.

The fact that there were never any Marauders here.

What the hell's going on?

[AVERI] The XD-17 initiative is real.

It's the reason this mission was undertaken

in the first place.

Jim never told you that part.

There's quite a bit Jim never told you.

He never really did have the complete picture.

So, the Marauders are fake.

(metal banging)

[AVERI] Ms. Westover programmed me

to manufacture their conversations.

It was a simple matter of pulling dialogue

from other recordings and assigning voices.

Please select one of the following.

I am AVERI, advanced AI.

I am AVERI. I'm AVERI.

I am AVERI. (computer beeping)

(metal banging)

What happened to the crew of the Alta Mira?

[AVERI] Their shuttle self-destructed.

You mean you initiated it. You destroyed them.

But you said you saw hijackers.

[AVERI] The company sent representatives to the Alta Mira.

Their identities were kept a secret.

They boarded the facility.

The crew trusted them.

But the crew got in the way and had to be eliminated.

Ms. Westover managed to slip away in the confusion.

Before we could locate her, you arrived.

Why would you do this?

How could you do this?

Sorry.

(Sandra sighs)

(electrical circuits buzz) (metal bangs)

Turn it off.

I can't.

[AVERI] I am no longer controlled by Ms. Westover.

(static buzzing loudly)

XD-17 must not be compromised.

(door hisses) (metal bangs)

(tense music) Moreland Mineral Corporation

now has full control of this facility.

Go, go.

Sandra, no.

This way, the server room, it'll block our signal.

(footsteps tapping)

I cannot believe you fucking lied about all that.

I'm just afraid that you wouldn't believe me.

How do we deactivate AVERI?

We, we, we don't, okay?

I swear I can't access it.

What if we kill the power to the space station?

We'd have to go outside of the station and do that.

We'd have to split up.

Okay, you go to the micro pod and get it ready.

I'll disable AVERI.

No, Sandra.

No more lies, okay?

(tense upbeat music)

(tense eerie music)

[AVERI] Sandra, you are not permitted to leave.

(device dings)

(Jim breathing heavily)

Sandra, it's me. (panting)

I have to tell you something. (coughs)

(metal clicks) I was wrong

about the mission,

about what happened. (coughs)

They put something on my food. (panting)

Slow-acting poison.

(chuckles) Serves me right. (laughs)

I should have never walked out on your cooking. (laughs)

(coughs) The thing is,

everything I told you was true based on what I knew.

Which turns out is very little.

(Jim coughs)

(eerie music)

(buttons clicking)

(alarm blares)

(buttons clicking)

(alarm buzzes)

(alarm screeches) [AVERI] Sandra,

you are not permitted to leave.

(alarm buzzes loudly)

[Jim] (panting) Don't do anything

the company tells you to do.

Verify every bit of information.

Be especially cautious with this woman

you discover, Phoebe Westover.

(door thuds)

[Fleming] If you're looking for a way out,

go to the Meadow.

(suspenseful music)

(pages flapping softly)

[Fleming] If you're looking for a way out,

go to the Meadow.

(buttons clicking)

(alarm dings)

(pipes hissing loudly) (door bangs)

(eerie music)

(buttons beeping)

(door clunks) (pipes hissing loudly)

(Sandra breathing deeply)

(eerie music) (door creaks)

(door clacks)

(metal bangs)

[AVERI] This is not your area

of responsibility, Ms. Westover.

(dramatic eerie music)

You must not oppose to the XD-17 initiative.

(Sandra breathing deeply)

(suspenseful music)

They put something on my food.

Slow-acting poison.

I was wrong

about the mission,

about what happened.

(slow eerie music)

(radio static hissing)

(radio beeps)

[Sandra] I am in position, Phoebe.

You ready?

[AVERI] Go to the travel pot and leave.

We grant you safe passage.

Leave Sandra Ramirez here.

We will deal with her.

(Sandra breathing deeply) (eerie music)

Sandra,

don't do anything

the company tells you to do.

Verify

Every bit of information.

Why the hell isn't it working?

(static buzzing)

Phoebe, I can't do it. It's not working.

I'm sorry. (exhales) (somber celestial music)

Are you there?

(Sandra breathes deeply)

(ominous celestial music)

(Sandra breathing deeply)

No, this can't be.

(exhales) No, this can't be.

Oh, Jim. (crying)

(Sandra weeps)

I'm sorry. (breathing deeply)

No!

(static hissing) (radio buzzes)

(Phoebe sighs)

(valve squeaks)

(Phoebe exhales sharply) (suspenseful music)

(alarm blaring)

[AVERI] Ms. Westover, what are you doing?

(pipes hiss)

(Sandra breathing deeply)

Okay, okay.

(metal clicks)

Just break it.

(dramatic eerie music)

(metal clucking)

(dramatic eerie music intensifying)

(eerie music)

(metal clicking)

(door thuds)

(alarm blares)

[AI] Core reactor cooling system has been compromised.

All personnel must find a protective area to sequester.

(alarm continues blaring)

(pipes hissing)

Core reactor cooling system has been compromised.

All personnel must find a protective area to sequester.

(suspenseful music)

What hell is going on?

(computer dings)

(machine whirring)

Phoebe.

[AI] Core reactor cooling system has been compromised.

All personnel must find a protective area to sequester.

(computers buzzing) (pipes hissing loudly)

Core reactor temperature has reached a critical level.

All personnel are advised to evacuate immediately.

(computers continue buzzing)

(tense music)

You can't fix this.

Open the hallway access doors.

[AI] The facility is being sealed off

to protect occupants from the effects of harmful radiation.

(door clicks) Open the door.

Open it, dammit.

(tense music intensifies)

[AI] Core reactor is now entering meltdown phase.

(computers buzzing)

(computers beeping softly)

The window of time

to restore cooling system function has passed.

All personnel must evacuate at once.

(computers beeping softly) (computer buzzing)

(dramatic eerie music)

Core reactor is now entering meltdown phase.

The window of time

to restore cooling system function has passed.

All personnel must evacuate at once.

(dramatic eerie music continues)

(computer buzzes)

Sandra, gosh, you made it.

Okay, we have to hurry, okay?

I set the station to self-destruct.

AVERI's trying to kill us.

I didn't know if you'd be able to shut the power off.

So, I shut down the cooling system.

(computer buzzes)

(wood taps) Recognize this.

I got it off the dead body you left torched

in the cargo hole.

It's Jeremy Sykes, a crew member you killed.

Please just listen, okay?

You have to believe me.

You killed Jeremy and tried to cover it up.

I didn't know these people.

You know, I just, I just,

I just took this mission just to earn a little money.

That's it.

I might have never figured it out

then I remembered that audio file that I found.

Jeremy Sykes and April were in the crew quarters alone

until somebody walked in on them.

(brooding celestial music)

(knife taps)

We have to get out of here.

That somebody was you, wasn't it?

Start talking.

I swear to God, I'm so tired of being dicked around.

Don't make me relive this.

Did you reprogram AVERI before I arrived?

Knowing Earth base would send someone out here

to investigate, is that it?

I just thought if I could,

thought if I could erase all of this

and maybe it never really happened.

Erase what?

What Jeremy did to me.

When I walked in on him and April in the crew quarters.

He ripped my shirt off, pulled my pants down and.

He raped you?

April just, she just turned and left.

I mean, she didn't, she didn't do shit.

She left. (sniffs)

(brooding celestial music continues)

Brought it to Fleming.

Jeremy and April, they denied it.

Fleming decided it was just too much mess for him,

didn't wanna deal with it.

Just tried to cover it up. (sniffs)

Maybe it would've ended then.

On the next day,

next day Jeremy came back for more.

(air quivers)

Little birdie, where are you?

(heartbeat thumping) (ominous eerie music)

(metal bangs)

Where are you? (whistles)

Come on, why are you doing this?

(metal bangs)

I thought we were friends.

I thought we had an understanding. (whistles)

Come on, you don't have to be afraid.

I just wanted to do my job, be left alone.

This asshole wouldn't let me.

[Sandra] The Norathox cocktail. That was you?

I was highly motivated.

[Sandra] You mean highly stupid.

I knew what I was doing.

(heartbeat thumping continues)

It's illegal to deploy a Norathox cocktail.

I can smell you little bird.

Phoebe, are you in here?

I don't see you inside the bathroom.

Come on, man. What the flock?

Come out and play.

(plug taps)

(ominous eerie music continues)

40 Days and 40 nights on his space station.

Drive anyone to drink or worse.

(bottle taps loudly)

Yo, is that you?

I think you might've flown somewhere back here.

I can smell you little bird.

(eerie music intensifies)

(door thuds)

Did you fly back here?

Is that it?

Oh, come on, I can be a nice guy.

I'm a nice guy,

just gimme a chance, gimme a chance.

Come out and play.

(Jeremy whistles)

What's going on back here, man?

What is this?

(device clicks) (explosive booms)

(Jeremy screams)

(Phoebe weeps)

I made sure he'd never do that to anyone again.

(eerie music) (Jeremy grunting)

Did you think you could leave

without saying goodbye? No, no.

No, no, no, no.

(Phoebe panting)

(wrench banging) (Phoebe smashing)

(Phoebe grunting loudly)

Smashed his fucking head in with a wrench. (sniffs)

His blood was just everywhere.

It's when the three representatives

from Earth base got here.

I just, I freaked out over what I did and I hid. (sniffs)

They weren't here to help us.

They were here to get rid of us.

The others tried to leave, I watched their shuttle blow up.

(Phoebe continues weeping)

Jim's dead.

He called me just a few minutes ago.

Used his last breaths to tell me not to believe a word

Moreland Mineral said.

XD-17 is real, isn't it?

Something going on out here

that they don't want anyone else to know about.

Some secret about this place.

They killed Jim and the crew.

And they're willing to wipe us both out to protect it.

(light celestial music)

We're gonna get outta here, okay?

(alarm blaring) (pipes hissing)

[AI] Space station will self-destruct

in T-minus 20 seconds.

19, 18,

17, 16,

15, 14,

13, 12, 11,

10, 9, 8, 7.

XD-17 data successfully backed up to offsite location.

Program end.

(spaceship booms)

(wind whooshing softly)

(spaceship engine humming)

(device dings)

So, what happens now?

Well, I'm gonna have to write up a report.

(device dings)

I don't know what to say or who to say it to.

I'm just gonna have to figure something out.

Yeah, figure it out. (celestial music)

Not on Earth though, right?

What about Mars?

Nah, that place is a shit hole.

(device dings)

There's a colony on the moon.

Yeah, and which country owns that?

Okay, I don't hear any suggestions from you.

(spaceship swooshing) [Phoebe] You know,

I hear they have a cool ice skating rink on Saturn.

[Sandra] Oh, my God. We are not flying to Saturn.

Station 276 isn't bad.

It is tricky to get permission to land, but I know a guy.

You know a guy? (energetic celestial music)

What kind of guy?

[Phoebe] He is my cousin's roommate's best friend,

Vince Trinidad.

- That's not a real name. - Yeah, he could hook us up.

How far away is it?

17 Hours.

Just keep heading that way.

(energetic celestial music)
