- Where am I?
- Andromeda.
- [Decima] When am I?
- The dawn of the 24th century in the year 307
of our guardians, the Vi.
62 years since suspension.
Sleep has done you good.
- Am I still...?
- The malignant cells were not eradicated.
Upon reanimation they returned to their previous aggression.
(electrical buzzing) (ominous music continues)
- Sovereignty is cellular.
- Indeed.
- So, when do we begin regeneration?
- There is no longer a human regeneration protocol.
- What?
(light dramatic music) (mechanical humming)
- The Vi halted all life support for the human population
a half century ago.
Decima, you are the last remaining matriarch
of the species.
- The last?
What happened? (suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
- [Eidolon] A rampant virus targeted the parietal lobe,
shutting down the human dream field.
Without a harvest of dreams,
and their latent predictive qualities,
the machines had no way to calculate the future.
(dramatic music continues)
The future went dark.
So, the Vi initiated a new protocol.
Terminate human resource allocation
in favor of engineering a new species.
One designed with a singular function
of providing the Vi with an incorruptible
generation of oracles.
First of which is called the Rune.
(ominous music)
- Then why keep me alive?
- Your DNA contains unique structural property
that appears to act as a conductive, a higher intelligence.
- They want my soul for the seeding.
(ominous music continues)
And if I agree will my essence sustain in the Rune?
- There have been advances since your suspension.
The Rune has been designed to engineer soul passage
on the physical plane.
If successful, you would be the first to be incarnate
without dying. (light dramatic music)
- [Computer] What of the vessel, will she comply?
- [Eidolon] My guardian, she is willing.
- [Computer] She understands that soul extraction
does not guarantee reanimation within the Rune?
- [Eidolon] I have given her occasion to hope, if not dream.
(light dramatic music continues)
- [Computer] This vessel is the last viable candidate,
so be it if her fantasy as an immortal destiny.
- I have done as you asked.
Her soul is ready for harvest.
(light dramatic music continues)
- [Computer] Prepare the chamber of the alter of the name.
It is time.

(Decima inhales)

(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
Liberate the vessel.
(suspenseful music continues)
- Summon.
Summon that eternal spark of the cosmic philosopher.
(suspenseful music continues)
Transit from the host, this essence,
and find station in the seed of the unformed.
(suspenseful music continues)
- [Computer] Decima.
- Confer up this journey from vessel to vessel.
The advent of a new prophetess.
(suspenseful music continues)
The birth of a monarchy.
(tense music)
Hail the Rune.
(tense music continues)
Hail the Rune!
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic emotional music)
Hail the Rune.
(light dramatic music)
Hail the Rune.
