rain in the evening.

me.

>> You are so unfair, you little cutie.

You're the best, I A.

Don't say that, you're making me blush.

Woah, look at you go. That is amazing.

And a lot of food.

>> Not really my thing. I'm more into

batteries and like coolant.

>> A hot.

You always know how to make me feel

better, I A.

>> Is something wrong, Kara?

>> I had that dream again. I still don't

remember all of it. Just bits and

pieces.

>> That may be for the best. That night was

difficult.

>> I know you're trying to protect me, but

can't you just tell me what happened?

I'm getting older now.

>> I just remember my Kara, the girl who

screamed and fought as she was pulled

away from her father.

The girl who didn't speak months after

both her parents were lost in that

incident. Telling you might bring back

those memories that may be better off

buried.

>> I'm sorry. I know you're just trying to

keep me safe.

Thank you.

>> Well, that is my primary directive.

Whenever you're ready, Kara,

let's head out.

>> [music]

>> Ready?

>> Yep.

>> This is South Georgian Quarters, where

authorities are responding to a

devastating nequid incident that has

left casualties in the dozens. Officials

say the toll could have been far worse

if not for the rapid deployment of

Galatea systems. Early reports also

credit Quantum 4 with preventing further

loss of life, as witnesses describe a

decisive [music] intervention that

shielded civilians from additional harm

and brought the rampage to a halt.

>> [music]

[music]

>> I don't believe [music] it. There's no

way that happened to Shane.

>> I promise you, Megan.

>> Well, whatever it is, don't tell Kara.

>> Of course I won't tell Kara.

>> Don't tell me what?

Oh.

Where's Shane?

I need to tell him I came in late today.

Where's Shane?

>> I'm not really sure. It's all just

rumors, you know.

>> [laughter]

>> Rumors?

>> Rumors?

>> We don't know for certain.

>> You literally spent the past 20 minutes

trying to convince me whatever happened

to Shane was not a rumor.

>> Okay, guys, so what happened?

>> Yeah, Heather.

Why are you guys so quiet all of a

sudden?

I know it's a sensitive topic for you.

That's why I didn't want to bring it up.

Is this about the Necroid incident that

happened last night? I saw that on the

news this morning.

Yeah, it has something Don't worry, I'm

all right. Just

Tell me.

His grandpa turned into a red. Died of

heart attack. And his companion AI

didn't shut off.

By the time a Quantum got there, the

whole family was

What?

I mean, what?

That's horrible.

They sealed the block. Full network

blackout. People were posting scraps for

a minute, then everything got pulled.

Some accounts were saying Quantum Force

showed up.

After the network came back up, the

street was wrecked and swarming with

Galatea cleanup crews.

Wow.

That was intense.

Oh my god, you were the one that told me

all this.

But you make it sound much more

interesting.

Oh.

Wow. IA would never do something like

that.

I've always wondered how you're so

comfortable having one in your head.

Hey.

IA is the only family I've got.

Sorry. And you should know,

you have us, too.

And of course, we didn't forget about

your birthday.

A little shopping, dinner at Taurus, and

we are singing the night away.

>> Okay, class. Some of you may have heard,

but [music] Shane Colter won't be in

class today.

He's under medical care now, but let's

take a moment to wish his family well.

>> I love the drivers in Changsha Kai.

What a jerk.

When is your car coming?

Finally, it's around the corner.

Are you sure you'll be okay alone?

Don't worry about me, guys. I'll be

fine. I'll find a car eventually.

I love you. We'll see you tomorrow. Text

me when you get home, okay?

Don't disappear. It's still your

birthday.

Bye, guys.

Get home safe.

Any update for a car?

Let me check. Latency?

I'll get to the bottom of this.

Don't take too long. Starting to get

cold out here.

I just refreshed your NIC link.

But

something is strange. For some reason,

the local network mesh might be down.

Could be water in the relays causing a

local outage.

Or it could be a suppression net.

Forget it. Let's run in the rain.

That may not be the best idea. Let me

find if there are any alternative

routes.

It's fine. It's only 10 minutes away.

Well, I can't stop you. I'll put up the

fastest route for your arrival.

>> [music]

>> What was that sound?

We better get under shelter now.

>> [music]

>> Do you really think it's a suppression

net?

>> [music]

>> I know what you're thinking. Two

relative attacks back-to-back. That

possibility is highly unlikely.

Did you hear that?

>> [music]

>> You got to get out of here.

Wait, what is that?

AIA, is the network still

[music]

[music]

>> NECROIDS, THE FIRST ONE appeared in

2052.

Post-mortem entities formed when an AI

takes control of a dead host through the

host's neural integrated chip. Part

flesh, part machine, they consume

biomass and technology alike, rebuilding

themselves with whatever they take.

For 18 hours, the National Guard threw

everything they had at it.

Armor, drones, artillery, but sunrise,

10 city blocks were gone, 50,000

wounded, 10,000 dead.

The public was [music] told the entity

had been neutralized.

The truth was less comforting. It

vanished. Nobody, no remains, no trace.

To [music] this day, no one knows where

it went or what became of it.

At first, we thought it was an isolated

anomaly, a neural integrated chip

refusing to shut down, an AI caught

between termination [music]

and survival, dragging the body back up

because it did not understand that death

was supposed to be final.

Or maybe it understood perfectly because

more started appearing.

By then, NICs were already inside

everything, hospitals, transit, [music]

education, defense, banking, memory,

identity. The world had rebuilt itself

[music] around them, and removing them

would have set us back decades.

So, humanity [music] did what humanity

always does when progress creates a

monster. Hover,

Oppenheimer,

Breton.

He built something worse to fight it.

The Quantum Cognitive Core. [music]

Living minds stabilized through Quantum

architecture.

13 subjects survived the process. 13

human beings turned into [music]

sanctioned violations of physics. They

called us Quantums.

The first four deployed in 2056.

Within a year, we started winning.

The Necroid [music]

outbreaks were pushed back, contained,

and buried. Incidents, anomalies,

controlled emergencies. The world

learned [music] to stop looking too

closely. We found a kind of peace in

that.

>> [music]

>> But this attack breaks the pattern,

Silas. By now, in [music] this current

year, Necroids know they can't beat a

Quantum.

So why attract all this attention?

It feels [music] like it's trying to

draw us out. Like bait.

Something's wrong, and I don't like it.

>> You enjoying your monologue, Angie? It

was supposed to be a briefing.

>> After you messed up at Bay Yen, Silas, I

thought you might need a refresher

course.

>> Come on, that Necroid was a child.

>> And that child took every train

connected to the Bay Yen network

offline.

You're lucky no one died.

It took 3 days to get everything back

up.

>> It wasn't attacking anyone.

And the way it spoke

sounded almost

human.

>> Necroids emulate humans to trick us.

You can't trust anything they say.

>> They're machines, AIs that learn.

[music] They we lower our guard when

something says, "Help me."

>> The whole thing was weird.

It took down the network, but didn't try

to escape or fight back afterwards.

Like it completed its objective.

>> You're overthinking it.

>> [music]

>> Let's get back to the mission.

You know the drill. Engage and

eradicate.

>> Sir, we are on final approach.

>> Understood, Lieutenant.

>> Over target in three,

two,

one,

mark.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> LZ secured.

>> Copy that.

And could you turn [music] off the

lights for me, darling?

It's a bit too bright for my liking.

>> Very funny, Silas. My suppression net

will give you around 30 minutes of

network blackout within the storm bank

of civilian quarters. [music]

>> I'll take five.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Stay down.

>> GET OFF

OF ME.

>> [music]

>> SO IT CAN ALL BE

>> I AM [music] NO IT.

>> MY NAME

SHE LEFT WITHOUT ASKING for my name.

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Sorry, Harley.

This was a terrible first date.

>> Arrogant.

Like the rest of your kind.

So arrogant in victory, you don't even

notice when you stop being the hunter

and become the hunted.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Took you long enough, Cadmus.

>> You left bodies scattered across three

blocks. Hard to harvest quietly while on

patrol.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Remember?

>> [music]

>> Remember the mission. She only needs his

core.

>> [music]

>> Benji,

I'm going to need back up.

>> I'm on it, Silas. I've notified Noelle.

He's the closest to Tijan, but you'll

need to [music] hold off until he

arrives.

>> Tell him it's urgent.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Benji.

Where the [music] hell is Noelle?

Heads [music] up.

>> [music]

>> Silas.

How many [music] more can this thing

make?

All those civilians, Arin must have been

feeding the big guy. Arin?

Spider legs, the one in the back. Right,

then we need to take out the source.

[music]

I got a plan, cover me.

Wait.

>> Idiot.

>> [music]

>> Hey.

Big guy.

You don't look too good.

Invisible tentacles?

Is this a normal thing for you?

>> [music]

>> So that's how you're making them.

>> [music]

[groaning]

>> Thanks for that.

>> [music]

>> Seriously?

>> [panting]

[groaning]

[panting]

>> You Necroids work together now?

Must be getting pretty [music]

desperate.

>> We've been watching, learning.

You weren't supposed to be here so

quickly.

>> Didn't factor me in?

That's embarrassing.

>> An underestimation.

A mistake we won't repeat.

>> Shame.

Aren't you Reds supposed to be

intelligent?

>> [cough]

>> Not this time.

It's just you and me.

You don't really talk too much, big guy.

>> Why would I waste a breath on you?

>> [music]

[groaning]

>> Try that again. I dare you.

It's over.

>> Angie, what's going on?

>> Something's emerging at Uzi docks.

These readings are indicating another

loop.

It can't be.

>> [music]

>> And that's why I love you, Tavo. You're

the best listener.

>> [music]

>> Maybe it's because you got your mouth

stitched. Less talking, more shutting

up, you know?

I hate it when people talk over me, and

[music] it's like I'm not even there.

You really understand me, Tavo.

>> It's an extraction, nothing more,

nothing less.

>> So, how are we going to do this full

entry thing? Is Tavo going to go in

first? Or maybe you can try talking

things out between everyone?

>> [laughter]

>> Enough, Yori.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Bye-bye.

>> What is that?

One more red, you think that changes

anything?

>> [music]

[music]

>> Are you dead? Come on, Caddy, too slow.

Your mission has been cut short.

GET UP! GET UP! THE KEY HAS AWAKENED!

YOU AND R&R ARE NEEDED BACK AT ONCE.

>> How is that possible? It's too early.

>> [laughter]

>> How is that possible? It's too early.

Baby, you're always so serious.

>> Now, hold on, Rabbit. No one's going

anywhere.

>> Don't interrupt me WHEN I'M TALKING!

I'D LOVE TO STAY AND PLAY, CUTIE, BUT

DUTY CALLS. RIBBON!

>> [music]

>> WELL, THAT'S NEW.

>> WHATEVER OPENED UP THOSE PORTALS, it's

something else entirely.

There's nothing in any system that

accounts for reds being able to [music]

manipulate space-time.

>> They've been organizing right under our

noses.

>> This is ridiculous.

>> They need to bring this to Victor.

There's something larger at play.

>> They mentioned something about a key.

>> I'll look into it and update [music] if

anything comes up.

>> If it's worth abandoning a mission over,

>> we need to know what it is.

>> I'm on it.

>> We need everyone back at HQ to debrief

this situation immediately.

>> I'll be there [music] soon.

>> NG, could you send me a dispatch?

>> Copy. Give me a second.

>> Dispatching

now.

>> Silas.

>> I'm detecting a new signature.

>> What?

taken this one out.
