- (narrator) Home.
This was my home.
I was born here on Nelo.
An ancient XO planet
where all the enhanced humans reside.
Growing up I'd heard fables about the planet
where humanity originated.
Parts where life flourished in the old ways.
We were taught that it's a wasteland.
Uninhabited now.
But there were always legends that parts of it
were untouched by the wrath of nature.
The stories had always stuck with me.
I had to see for myself if it was true.
Nelo was cold, devoid of any nature,
no trees, no plants, no animals,
just technology.
Synthetic air
and us.
A soulless shell of what humanity used to be.
My lifeline on Nelo comes with great dignity
and honor.
But deep down I felt an emptiness.
I had to escape, no matter what the cost.
I believed the stories were true
and Earth could be my refuge.
And even if it led to death,
at least I chose my path.
(melancholy music)
(boom)
(swooshing sound)
(explosion)
(coughing)
- Are you okay?
(coughing)
I can help.
- The handle,
pull the handle.
- Oh
(heavy breathing)
grunting
- [narrator] I had never seen such beauty before.
I was in awe at everything.
It was like opening my eyes
and breathing for the very first time.
- [Woman] No, oh no, no, no.
Mister?
Oh no!
(grunting)]
(dramatic music)
(music intensifies)
(soft crackling sound)
- [narrator] From that moment,
Tiffany and I were together every day.
She showed me all the wonder that the old world had to offer
and I told her stories of my homeland.
- [Tiffany] Come here,
I want to introduce you to G.
(horse snorts)
Touch it. Come.
(soft music)
- [narrator] I often felt guilt for abandoning my post
and my people.
And deep down I knew a reckoning was coming for me.
I wanted so badly to tell Tiffany the truth
about why I came here.
But something was happening.
something I had never experienced before
and I didn't want it to end.
(piano music)
- You know, where I'm from,
this is not allowed.
(Tiffany laughs)
- Really?
- Yes.
- How do you have babies then?
- Offspring is made by mixing compatible DNA
and then it's augmented due to your life's path.
I much prefer this.
(Tiffany giggles)
- I'm sure you do.
So what you are going to do in life
is chosen before you are born?
- Yes.
- What was your life path?
- You don't want to know.
- I don't care what it is.
Whatever happened before doesn't matter to me.
The only thing that matters
is what's here.
What's happening now.
What's real for us.
Nothing's going to change that.
I feel there was something missing in my life
until I found you.
We found each other from other ends of the universe.
I don't know if you understand love,
I don't even know if you feel the same way I feel.
But with you
for the first time I feel alive.
- I feel it too.
(romantic music)
- [narrator] I found a home with her
I was hers and she was mine.
(dramatic music)
- [man in Black] G,
it's been a long time.
No message, no word
man I thought you'd died.
And honestly, to myself, I'd hoped you did.
For your own sake of course.
Without proof, the Elders wouldn't allow me to step into
your position as Amalga Chief One.
Instead, they sent me scouring the galaxies
for you.
And yet here you are in the flesh.
(man in black laughs ominously)
- What have we here?
It's quite beautiful, isn't it.
Does it know,
how you disgraced your family
betrayed your own kind
- Tae,
everything they told us on Nelo was a lie.
Look around you, there's beauty here, there's life here.
They lied to us.
- It's all for a reason G.
You know this.
That's why they trained us in packs.
To have honor and loyalty.
Our brothers are dying out there
while you're shacked up here
with some low life breed.
- Tell them my ship crashed and I'm dead.
Take my position, please.
I'm not coming back.
- Always a dreamer G.
You're foolish.
You always have been.
That's not an option.
You simply know too much
and more importantly, you abandoned your post.
You defected.
(ominous laugh)
And you know the consequences of that.
Kill him and the girl.
Burn the whole place down.
(intense music)
(thumping and grunting sounds)
(zapping sound)
- It doesn't have to be this way.
- Yes, it does, G.
yes it does.
Even in your absence I have lived in your shadow.
No longer.
(squelching sound)
(clanging)
(grunting )
(metal clanging)
(squelching sound)
(pulsing sound)
(Loud cracking sound)
- Leave us alone!
- This is what you betrayed the colony for?
This pathetic old breed.
Get up G,
I want you to see what I do to her.
(G coughs)
(threatening music)
(slicing sound)
(ringing)
(whooshing)
(metal clanking)
(thud)
(sonic sound)
(gravel crunching)
(thumping)
(crunch)
- Hey, beautiful,
watch this.
(slicing sound)
- Noooooo!
No!
(crackling sounds)
(thud)
- (narrator) I could feel it,
I could feel everything slipping away.
I don't regret anything,
it was all worth it.
To love and be loved
is to feel the sun from both sides.
- Protect
our boy.
(Tiffany crying)
- Oh G! Oh please no.
(somber music)
(music intensifies)
