Sol, thank you for this bounty you have given us...

And thank Tempest for k*lling it for us.

HUNTER: Amen. Dig in.

Hmm.

Pork.

Tastes like pork.

Which part is the baby?

I don't think they cooked the fetus, Vita.

- I highly doubt they wasted it.
- Mother said she buried it.

Sure she did.

She's gonna let valuable proteins go to waste.

'Cause of your feelings.

Right.

Chance... It's the only reason why she wasn't k*lled last night... and her fetus with her.

Pregnant females are capable of great athleticism in their first trimester, Mother.

The creature was also pregnancy, so what exactly is your point?

Why weren't you watching her?

- I saw something.
- What?

I don't know.

I could never seem to catch it.

One of the creatures?

No. I don't think so.

Are you experiencing some kind of sensory malfunction?

My senses are functioning normally, but I cannot be everywhere at once.

I accept your limitations, Father.

My limitations?

The limitations of your processing power.

Limited as it may be, you know full well that I devote every ounce of my processing power to the well being of this family, and to trying to make you happy, Mother.

We're not human.

True happiness is not an achievable goal.

Well, perhaps it's a symptom of my inadequacy, but I believe it is.

So, you were just gonna k*ll him now?

The Tribunal decided his fate weeks ago.

Well, that was before the rest of humanity d*ed on the ark, was it not?

Maybe he can be useful.

Yes.

Sir, if I may?

We have limited food and water.

Why should we shelter him?

Sol commanded me to be fruitful.

Today, I'm not a soldier.

If they can eat it, maybe we can, too.

We need to get some of that fungus.

You're upset.

Because you didn't go with the others?

I didn't want to go with them.

Last thing I want to do is k*ll more of those things.

Death is a part of life, Tempest.

You're a necromancer.

Of course you're cool with death.

Please don't use that word when referring to me.

I prefer the name given to me by my creator.

No offense, but reprogramming something like you to raise kids... think your creator was kind of insane.

He was able to see beyond the limits of his own existence, and so will you when you have your child.

There was an aquatic Earth creature called salmon.

- You know it?
- Yeah.

They went extinct before I was born.

Yes. Sadly.

They would live out their lives in the Earth's oceans, and then swim up the same rivers they were born in, b*ating their bodies against the rocks, spawning all the way, until they d*ed.

That's awful.

Not yet, but even if it's safe, I doubt it's farmable.

Where did you find it?

Campion said he found it growing under a tree.

What do you mean? You weren't there when he found it?

I was close by.

But not close enough that you could see him.

I'm confused, Father.

Did you learn nothing from the other night?

We're trying to teach them self sufficiency, which they will never learn if we're always looking over their shoulder.

Perhaps it is no longer advisable to leave you here alone.
