You know what closes the distance between yourself and a fixed point?
time
if only we had more time
I know
Time's funny you know
we make it so important
and it affects every aspect of our lives
but we can't ever clearly see where we're going in time
only where we've been
Let's hold up here
two or three more kilometers this way
there should be a road
I'm not sure
Zek?
Do you think Lonn has shared enough of the water?
Why do you care?
You don't need any
I'm just concerned
you're not looking good
hey
I'm gonna need some water
Hey!
I know you heard me
We need to start conserving Zek
there's not much water left
we're moving out
He might still be upset with you
How much water do we have?
We got enough
Maybe if you didn't talk so much
you wouldn't need so much water
I told you
You don't know where we're going
do you?
You've been walking us in circles for days
I'm done listening to you
I think I should lead
Enough
How much water do we have?
We'll be fine you just..
and why should I trust you?
Who are you?
We're all in this together
you don't think I can see it?
You slowly cutting me off from water
I know what's going on
Just give me the water!
That's enough
Time and time again I follow you around
and every time it just turns into shit
Stop it!
Just stop it!
Both of you
We're all thirsty, we're all tired, just stop it
You know we're not going home don't you
Why don't you tell them?
You know the truth
Oh wait
You don't know
I'm tired of all your mind games
You mean truths
You know what I think
I think you're afraid
I think you're scared you might die out here
and you're afraid that no one will care
It's actually much simpler than that
Little girl of yours is really something else isn't she
You still think that what happened back there was an accident
that I made a mistake
it wasn't
I know I was supposed to bring Artemis
and all its crew down here for a quick data trip
But after that suicidal orbit approach that killed damn near everyone
I decided to check the
flight data recorders
and at first I thought it was a glitch that was caused
by the crash and maybe
gamma radiation
but then I noticed something unusual
someone
or something
adjusted the Hohmann transfer orbit
and made us run into the atmosphere
The 130
people aboard Artemis
only two people had that capability
Me
and her
Although I don't think she qualifies as people
You have no proof
I do
back on the ship
at least what's left of it
Honestly
I'm just tired of following you all around
I've been walking for Lord knows how long and for what?
Some...
Lonn's idea of some rundown launch facility
that we don't even know exists
Not to mention it's been decaying ever since
this planets been evacuated
and you still think that we have a shot
of making it back home from here?
Good luck
He's correct. It was a one-way trip.
Wait what?
It was a one-way trip
for you
nobody was meant to return
What are you talking about?
All those people?
Everyone burning
in that wreckage. Our entire crew was full of...
liabilities.
No
This is your fault
I had nothing to do with this
Technically you did
What?
You gave me access to the amos through the on-board computer
I did not
I am not capable of accessing any of the onboard systems
without authorization from a commanding officer
You gave it to me
What is she talking about Tashin?
she...
she told...she told
of course
I can't...I didn't know
No...this wasn't me..I didn't
I didn't do this!
Go ahead
walk away
like you always do
Just like you did with us. Go!
We all know you want to
for once
in your life, be a man
and tell me
us
how you feel
You want to know how I feel?!
It's her
I hate that thing.
I always have.
You turned the memory of our dead daughter
into a machine
Why?
Because you needed a way to cope?
And you thought by bringing her back like that
it would make everything better?
It's made everything worse
look around
We're here because of her
You know
I needed you
but but you didn't care about how I felt
or what I wanted
it's always about you
always has been
You asked me once why this didn't work
it's because of that
That thing that stranded us here
that thing that almost killed us
that thing is not my Telos
It never was
I'm done with this
With all of you
I'll be fine on my own
You think there's anything out there?
Yeah
You know how I said time closes the distance
Well it isn't time time
Time is just a perception
there's no such thing as a fixed point
you can only perceive time and garner its effects and...
each has a unique perspective of time
depending on our position in space
I know
it's a pleasant fiction to entertain
I'm sorry
for what?
I'm sorry Lonn for everything
for this
for all of it
Me too
tell me a story
I just wanna go home
I think I have one you don't know
A true one?
I think there's truth in every story
It's one my dad told me
I miss your dad
me too
so...
as my dad would say
One day there was a hungry wolf passing through the woods
when he came upon a hare
Hare said I know that you are famished but I am far too small to
satisfy your hunger
If you allow me I know a fox who is plump and fat
I can entice him from his hole so that you could devour
The wolf intrigued by these words
agreed to the hares request
so once at the Fox's den the hare very meekly and cunningly
explained to the Fox that her friend was outside and wished to meet him
the Fox agreed to meet the hare's friend
so the hare scurried outside to get the wolf
the Fox was more sly than the hare ever suspected
because long ago he'd built a
deep pit in the center of his passageway
and covered it with leaves so that no one would ever see it
the hare curious to see the end of the game followed
the wolf inside but
before they knew it they were both trapped at the bottom of the pit
and the wolf
thinking that the hare planned this all along
ate the hare up right away
all while the fox lay and watch with great pleasure
I know it's a good story
Not now
Please not now
Please come back
Don't leave me
