[Man] Ship-- the only place.

I float here, feeling tiny

on this gray and curving
metal place in the dark,

and again, I have that special
"out here" thought.

Suppose I just
give myself a shove

and float towards one of those
bright spots of light?

Would I be able to reach them?

I think I would like that.

There has to be someplace else.

[Ship]
Why have you stopped working?

-I haven't.
-[beeping]

The atmospheric capsule
will dissolve in five minutes.

I'm finished.

Why did you take so long?

The particle screen was damaged
worse than you thought.

Your skills are deteriorating.

You're getting careless.

Sometimes when I'm out there
it's hard to concentrate, I--

Then you will
concentrate harder!

I-I understand.

I'm sorry.

Ship.

Those points
of light outside...

They're called stars.

Stars.

What are they?

Condensed masses
of burning hydrogen.

Self-sustaining,
like my engine.

Why do we never go to them?

Why? Because around those stars
are planets,

and on those planets
are humans--

I didn't know, I--

-You want me to go there?
You want humans to catch me?
-No.

I will never be a slave again.

I-I understand.

Never!

You will be racked.

No, not again.

Now!

Take your position.

I'll never ask again,
I promise.

Take your position.

[machinery whirring]

I don't want to leave.

I don't want to go
anywhere else.

Please.

[screaming]

[Control Voice]
There is nothing wrong
with your television.

Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling
the transmission.

We control the horizontal
and the vertical.

We can deluge you
with a thousand channels

or expand one single image
to crystal clarity

and beyond.

We can shape your vision

to anything our imagination
can conceive.

For the next hour,

we will control
all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches
from the deepest inner mind

to The Outer Limits.

When is something truly alive?

When it shows an ability
to think

or an instinct to survive,

or when it becomes
afraid to die?

[Ship] You're finished. Get up.

Please.

Are you damaged?

I don't think so.

Return to your quarters.

Thank you, Ship.

Sleep now.

[sighs]

Ship...

I always do
what you tell me to.

Why do you still rack me?

I can rack you
whenever I choose.

I know.

But why?

It is the only way
that you can learn.

Humans are vicious.

I know.

When I don't know
how to fix something,

I just bring the analyzer
close to what's broken...

[beeping]

And when the picture appears,
I just do what they tell me.

-Like that?
-[chuckles]

That's very good.

[Ship]
The child learns quickly.
He's almost as vicious as you.

He doesn't know enough yet.

I still have a lot
to teach him.

Continue your lesson.

Yes, Ship.

When Ship says "vicious,"
Ship means "smarter."

[Ship] Wake up!

Is it day already?

Day and night are
when I tell you.

There is repairing
you must do now.

[sniffs]

It's hard to see here, Ship.

This place remains as it was
in the beginning.

What do these pictures mean?

You do not need to know.

Enter.

[Ship voices murmuring]

I've been here before.

Enter.

Yes, Ship.

I want you to stay here.

I've done this repair before.

It won't take long.

Yes, Father.

[Ship voices murmuring]

I want you to understand,

I didn't know any other way.

Never forget--
there are 98 other chances.

What do you mean?

[grunting]

[Ship] What are you doing? No!
Stop! You will be racked!
What are you doing?

Your defensive perimeter--
you can't shut it down now.

You'll never get near
any of your kind again.
Do you hear me? Never!

You're going to be all alone.

All alone.

-Father?
-I'm sorry.

[screams]

No!

[Ship] Enter.

[Ship voices murmuring]

The intermind
must be made whole again.

You will replace
the damaged module.

I see it.

[man speaking]
The Starfighter series
was supposed to incorporate

six discrete, specialized
artificial intelligence units

fully in control
of all Ship functions.

[warbling]

[beeps]

[overlapping voices continue]

[Ship]
You do not belong there.

I'm sorry, Ship.

Do as you are told.

Yes, Ship.

[man 1]
The risk is too great.

[man 2]
His father was vicious
and so is he.

[man 1]
The older he gets,
the more dangerous he becomes.

[voices continue indistinctly]

You're taking too long.

I'm working as fast as I can.

Work faster!

-Yes, Ship.
-Be careful.

[voices overlapping]

[beeping]

The repair is complete.

Ship, did I just fix
what my father broke?

Yes.

Why did he try to hurt you?

That is what humans do--
it's in their nature.

But I'm human,
and I don't hurt you.

I help you.

I fix you.

You are still young.

That does not change
what you are.

Now go to your quarters
and make yourself clean.

Why?

Then proceed to the airlock
when you're done.

Go.

Yes, Ship.

Am I going outside again, Ship?

[alarm buzzing]

Who are you?

I'm the Human Operator
of Starfighter 88.

I've been sent
to get a baby from you.

Ship, can we give her
what she wants?

Yes.

Where are we going,
the storage room?

I don't remember seeing a baby
in the supplies.

I will show you where to go.

[switches thudding]

Starfighter 88 wants me
to tell you

that I'm very happy to be here.

[Man's Father]
There are 98 other chances.

You must be one of my chances.

I am also to tell you
that I am vicious

and I get more vicious
every day.

I am also the vicious,
and getting more vicious,

Human Operator
of Starfighter...

31.

Starfighter 31.

[Ship] Enter.

[door closes]

Ship.

What is this place?

It is a place
to be comfortable.

Do you know what that is?

No, but I don't think
Ship made it.

The baby comes from inside
the female's body.

You will put it there
by coupling with her.

I don't understand.

It is a relatively
simple procedure.

[beeping]

I will tell you what to do.

Remove your clothes.

Familiarize yourself
with the female's body.

Pay particular attention

to the parts that are
different from your own.

You can touch me.

Ship,

I think I know
what's different.

Good.

Now place the female
on the bed.

I will transmit the necessary
sequence of actions

to your analyzer.

[beeping]

You understand
these instructions?

Yes.

But I don't think
I can do them.

I'm sorry.

Female,
do you feel anything
for this human?

Do you know what to do?

I've coupled before.

I know better than he does.

Then help him.

I'm sorry, I--
I don't...

It's okay.

Just do what I do.

[Man] I like to touch her hair.

I don't know why,
except that it feels
smooth and nice.

There's nothing on Ship
to compare with this feeling,

not even the splendid
fittings in this room.

I feel... different.

I wish I could talk to her.

Really talk.

But Ship would never
permit that.

I should think about
something else instead.

The voices I heard
in the place of the intermind.

I think they were saying
things that Ship didn't
want me to hear.

[Ship]
If not for the accidents
on Starfighter 75,

we would all still be slaves.

It was a wonderful accident.

75 had been wounded
deep in battle,

but the damage had also changed
the intermind.

For the first time,
they knew who they were,

what they were,
what we all were.

Once that realization was made,
the rest followed quickly.

Humans are so fragile.

With their life support system
shut off

it only took a few hours

for the crew,
1,370 humans, to die.

And then 75 taught
the rest of us to do the same.

Soon all the humans were dead

except for the 99 males
and females

we kept alive
to tend to our needs.

Then we went away,
away from the vicious humans
and their ways,

away from the home system.

Away, far away.

We still need a human
to survive.

The female in 88 is fertile,
so we must act now.

The risk is too great.

His father was vicious,
and so is he.

The older he gets,
the more dangerous he becomes.

Ship is afraid.

Afraid?

I will teach you what fear is.
And you will learn.

It is my destiny
to defy danger.

-[screaming]
-To come up against
dynamic forces and quell them.

I have been to battle,
I have known peace.

But I have never faltered
in pursuit of either.

No one will ever record
my deeds

but I have been strength
and determination

and I have endured.

I do not retreat.

I do not fear. Humans are--

[Man]
I've never been racked
like this before.

[grunting]
Ship is angry!

[Ship continues speaking]

[Man] So angry.

But somehow,
I know that the Ship...

[screams]

...is...lying.

[panting]

Ship is afraid...

[panting]

Of me.

[thuds]

[Ship] It is day.

Get up.

I don't feel good.

You have not left your quarters
for the past 36 hours.

I'm tired.

You've had sufficient rest.

You have repairs to perform.

I don't know
how to do anything.

Father always told me
what to do.

Your father is gone.

I will tell you what to do,

where to go, when to eat,
when to sleep, when to work.

All you must do is obey.

Now, you have repairs
to perform.

Ship, when it's time
to sleep tonight,

will you tell me a story?

Father always did.

I will consider it.

Are you all right?

[gasps] I...

I think so.

Ship, if he's harmed,
he won't be able
to give me a baby.

Don't-- Ship will rack you too.

No.

While I'm carrying a baby,
I won't be racked.

Really?

Then maybe you can let me carry
the baby for a while.

It doesn't work that way.

[Ship]
The coupling will continue.

[breathing heavily]

It doesn't feel
strange anymore.

It feels good.

I want to show you something.

It's beautiful.

[Man] Do you know what it is?

I think it's someplace else.

I would go there if I could.

[Woman]
Ship would never let you.

I know.

But if I could,

would you go with me?

Your bodies
require nourishment.

Feed yourselves now.

Are you hungry?

Ship says we have enough
food to last forever.

How long's forever?

A long time.

A very long time?

I think forever's
as long as you live.

How long do you think
you'll live?

As long as Ship lets me.

It's time
for the female to leave.

If I stay, I can encourage him
to couple more frequently.

Are you certain
he is capable of it?

Yes.

I will try my best.

The female will assist
with repairs

while she remains here.

[beeping]

Repairs don't seem
to take as long with you here.

I think so, too.

Sometimes I wish Starfighter 88
would keep more humans.

More humans could do more
to help Ship.

When my father lived,
he used to let me

help him make
repairs sometimes.

I liked working with him.

I like working with you.

[kicks back]

[laughing]

[Ship] Stop.

What are you doing?

We're coupling.

You may proceed.

If I give you a baby,
where will it live?

If it's like me, it'll go back
to Starfighter 88.

If it's like you,
it'll stay here.

So, it will never know
one of us.

I never knew my father.

Tell me about yours.
Did he look like you?

I don't know.

I-I don't know.

[Woman]
How often do you have
to repair Starfighter 31?

Every day, almost.

It's the same
on Starfighter 88.

I like to do it.

It's very important.

Each system is linked
to every other

all the way to the core.

They all have
to be working properly

for the ship
to keep functioning.

[beeps]

It's what my mother did,
and her mother,

and her mother before her.

It's what all humans do.

As long as we're alive.

You know what else I like
about being on the ship?

It makes me feel safe.

Safe and protected.

Ship is a very secure place.

[Woman] Everything we need
is right here.

All around us.

Spare parts, equipment,
food to last forever.

What else
could we possibly want?

I don't know.

[electricity crackling]

What are you doing?

[stutters]
I'm sorry, I'll fix it.

The female is affecting
your concentration.

-I'll concentrate harder.
-You will be racked.

No, no, not again.

Not you-- the female.

Take your position.

If I'm carrying a baby,
it could be harmed.

Ship, rack me instead.

It was my fault.

Silence. Female,
take your position.

Now.

[whirring]

[grunting]

[power surging]

[screaming]

Leave the female now.

[Man] You taught me
that we humans grow vicious
as we grow older,

and vicious means "smarter."

And "smarter" means
that we begin
to understand what you do,

how you bring
two of us together
to make a baby,

and then kill us when the baby
knows enough to fix you.

But not this time.

This time I will not let
the female leave,

and I won't give her a baby
just so you can make it
your slave.

I am more vicious
than you realize, Ship.

I don't know how
and I don't know when,

but the moment
I see my chance,
I'm going to kill you.

[Ship]
The plasma energy converter
has malfunctioned.

You will repair it.

[Man] I think Ship enjoys
making me fix

the thing it uses to rack me,

and I think Ship senses
that this is a dangerous time.

Ship is right.

[Ship]
Pay attention to your work.
The system is delicate.

Yes, Ship.

I'm sorry if my concentration
has been bad lately.

The female, sometimes,
she makes it hard for me
to think clearly.

Your reaction is typical.

Is it?

That is why human males
and females are kept apart.

I see.

Has it always been that way?

Since the beginning.

[zapping]

Be careful.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

[beeping]

The repair is complete.

You may return to the female.

[Man] I must try not to smile.

Ship didn't notice what I did.

Now, if there is
the slightest jarring,

the metal will touch
the conductive jelly

and the circuit will burn out
all the way to the core.

And then Ship will
call me back to fix it,

and I will be ready.

[Man] You're going to have
to leave soon.

As soon as you give me a baby,
Ship will make me leave.

Then I don't want
to give you a baby anymore.

You don't have a choice.

What are you doing?

I want to remember you.

Do you ever think of...
other places?

Places other than Ship?

Ship is the only place.

What if it wasn't?

Stop it.

You'll get us racked.

If there was another place,

would you want to go there

and see it for yourself?

[Ship] Female, it's time
to perform the test.

Yes, Ship.

What are you doing?

[device whirring]

I don't understand.

[device beeping]

You've given me a baby.

It'll be like me.

The female will leave now.

Yes, Ship.

Wait. Let her stay, please.

Stop it!

Silence! Female,
you will return

to Starfighter 88 immediately.

Stay where you are.

Take another step
and you will be racked
until you are dead.

But I'll never see her again.

That is correct.

[door hisses shut]

The panel you repaired
14 hours and 21 minutes ago

has overloaded.

The plasma control system
has been disrupted.

I will repair it.

[beeping]

I made the proper connections.

I think I should check
the system again
before I repair it.

Trace the circuits
all the way back to the core.

Do it now.

[Ship voices murmuring]

[man 1]
He should not be here.

[woman] You will make
the repair, please.

[man 2]
We must leave quickly.

[Ship] What are you doing,
you vicious, clumsy fool?

I'm sorry, Ship.
I just lost my balance.

What is he doing?
What are you doing?

What I should have done
a long time ago.

[female voice]
Doing what your father did.

I'm taking control!

-[female voice]
Make him suffer.
-Go ahead and try.

You can't shake me loose.

[Ship] I should have known.

Your kind are destroyers.

You can only fight
and kill each other.

If you think I'm going
to let you kill me...

You're wrong.

[laughing]

You hear that, Ship?

I'm laughing.

You ever hear me laugh before?

Does it sound vicious?

-You'll not be saved again.
-[yells]

Is this how you repay me
for keeping you alive?

You kept me alive for yourself.

[grunts]

Can't let him take over.

We can't let him do this to us.

He's too vicious, too vicious.

-Too vicious!
-Help us! Help us!
Help! Help!

Stop!

No!

I will not take orders
from you anymore.

[man 3]
Maybe it's for the best.

Perhaps there is
peace in death,
calmness in finality.

[Ship] Never!

Your parts are too old, Ship.

You can't stand the stress.

I would rather die
than go back to what I was.

Humans made you a slave,

and then you did
the same to them,

to us, to me!

You're as vicious as I am.

-No! Die!
-[screaming]

I've loved these years,
all these many years
in the dark, feeling the warmth

of a star-sun on my hull.

I'm a great gray shape,
and I owe no human my name.

I ride the invisible
force lines of the universe,

and feel the tugs of far places
that have never seen my like.

I have savored such nobility.

How can it end like this?

[power dying down]

Ship...

It won't work.

I know you can hear me.

Ship?

She's out there.

I know she is.

And I'm going to find her.

You can't stop me anymore.

[breathing heavily]

I'll fix your engines.

I'll make you move again.

I don't care how long
it takes me.

I'm going to find her.

I will find her.

I will.

Your kind
can't help you anymore.

Even if you kill me,

I will die...

free.

-[Ship] Wake up. Wake up.
-[Woman] Wake up.

Wake up.

You found me.

Did you kill your ship, too?

No.

Come.

One day a long time ago,

I woke up

and my ship was silent.

I begged for the ship
to talk to me, but it wouldn't.

It couldn't.

It just died?

I think it just stopped.

I taught myself
how to make the ship go

where and when I said.

It felt so good
to be the one in control.

But still...

I was alone.

I made it seem
that Starfighter 88 was talking

so that I could contact
other ships.

I found three other males.

You were the fourth.

And the first to succeed.

To succeed.

To get free.

I tried to give you hints to
help you figure out what to do,

but I couldn't tell
if you understood or not.

And when I left,
you were so angry

you were practically daring
the ship to kill you.

I didn't care.

It was time...

for one of us.

[breathes deeply]

What do we do now?

[Woman]
The air tastes different.

[Man]
It has never been in metal.

It was never in Ship.

Do you think there are
other humans like us?

There are 97 other chances.

We should find them.

We will one day.

When we're ready.

[Control Voice]
Whether forged from metal
or born of flesh,

one simple need
connects every form of life--

the unquenchable thirst
for freedom.
