supposed to do here some kind of challenge a task anything is this guy bothering you
what the hell is this hey pal back off she are interested what are you gonna do about it
i thought this was just a projection only when there's no need for physical interaction
i thought you wanted a challenge
why are you even cleaning the glasses that's what i'm programmed to do
people get nervous when the bartender wait what when the bartender isn't doing anything
no before that you said you're programmed who programmed you
you did
that i'm commanding you to tell me why i'm here would you like to override this program yes
an override security password is required oh for christ's sake incorrect password

when's your anniversary july 6th 2020 override password is 0706-2020 override activated
nadia yes mark why am i here because you are the captain
captain of what captain of this ship delta 2000
what
what's the exact geographical location of this place
we are currently 22 light years away from earth
where are we headed to a planet called gliese
okay nadia
i need you to explain to me
in detail why i can't remember anything and where everybody else is
you are captain mark wallace you were assigned on a mission to lead delta 2000
and its 50 000 crew members to colonize planet glieser after world war iii during the flight the
ship detected a malfunction and the protocol was to wake up the seven main crew members
where are the other six deceased i don't understand a common side effect of waking
up during hyper sleep is psychosis and severe hallucination this resulted in the crew attacking
each other you survived by locking yourself in the sim room this is a simulation run yes
so why can't i remember any of the events
you programmed me to wipe your memory to avoid any further fatalities
nadia bring back the projections please
i think i'll have that drink now whiskey on the rocks
sure
enjoy
where is my real wife deceased during the war right this nightclub why
this is the place you first met your wife
a memory i can't even remember
so i'm okay now right for now what do you mean a memory wipe is only a short-term solution to
the psychosis what are you trying to say wait how many times have i wiped my memory
nadia it's best you don't know the answer to that question
nadia how many times have i wiped my memory
535 times
how long have i been awake for and how many years until we reached that planet
you've been awake for almost two earth years
with 44 earth years remaining until we reach gliese
why don't you put me back in a hypersleep i'm afraid that's not possible
your pod was destroyed by one of the crew members
so what uh i'm supposed to just keep wiping my memory until we get there mark we've been
through all the possible scenarios this is the only way what if i don't wipe my memory
there's a 98 probability that you will commit suicide
how do i initiate the memory wipe next to you there's a gun
point it anywhere on your body pull the trigger to inject the memory white
particles
one last question how many times have i overwritten the program
and become aware of the syndrome
this was the first time mark i've been on the spaceship down in star since
94 waiting for someone to come and knock on my door looking
why does love always have to be
waiting for you
