01x04 - The Dream

[bunniefuu]

Levi!

I need you
to follow me.

Hurry up,
the Demeter is right there!

You've just been acting
so strange lately.

This is Azi Narine

of the planetary freighter ship
Demeter .

I am marooned on planet Vesta,
seeking rescue.

Is anybody out there?
Over.

Hey, Levi, come here.
I need you.

Sam!

Aah!

Okay.

Make sure it's straight,
okay? And don't go too high.

I won't.

Seriously, I don't want it
to look weird like last time.

It looked perfectly precise
to me.

It actually feels kind of nice
when you do that, Levi.

Okay, let me
return the favor.

A little routine
maintenance.

Open up your hatch.

I feel fine, Azi.

But okay...

if you'd like.

Uh, Levi, I -- I think
it would be best

if we open you up all the way,
all right?

Of course.

But you sound
distressed.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

I just think we need to
give you a deeper clean.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

I know, I know.

I'm sorry.
I've got nothing.

It's fine.

You know,
I'm busy, too, but...

I don't know.
Never mind.

I guess it's my mistake
for having any expectations.

I said I'm sorry.

Honestly, I'm just worried this
arrangement isn't working out.

Here we go.

Aah!

What was that?
Did you just flinch?

I'm not sure. I was reacting
to a strange sensation.

What kind of sensation?

I don't know. It's something
I've never felt before.

Okay.

I'm -- I'm gonna keep going,
all right?

Aah!

What?!
What is going on?

This doesn't feel good.

What about that?

You're touching me
with your hand.

What's it feel like?

Nice, I think.

No, no, no, no,
that's not right.

I'm gonna shut you off,
okay,

take a closer look
at this stuff.

Wait!

You shouldn't be able
to feel anything at all,

especially if it hurts
when I touch it.

Okay, Azi.

Sam!

Sam!

Oh, my God.

Must have been the storm
that got 'em

or something else.

I -- I guess it could have been
anything out here, right?

Hmm.

Well, we should take
what we can.

Stop.
Ursula, please.

I already searched them.
These were my friends.

Do you get that?

I-I'm sorry.

Maybe we should just go.

We can't do anything
for them now.

I know,
but we gotta do something.

We can't just leave them here
like this.

It was too big for me.

It would have
torn me to shreds.

The answer is no.

Just, please, check it again.
It'll be fine.

No. Kamen, this new route
is risky as hell.

I'm not taking us anywhere near
that unstable sun

under any circumstances.

I don't think you understand
what's at stake.

Th-The loss of equipment from
staying on our current route

would make this entire mission
inconsequential

and a huge waste
of company resources.

Yes, there's some risk,
but --
Some risk?

This route is insane.

Besides, any risk
is too much risk

if you're just talking
about equipment

over our lives
and safety.

Wait.

If we don't change course,
I'll...

I'll lose my job.
I'll lose everything.

Sam, please?
I need this.

Sorry, buddy,
can't do anything for you.

It's not much,
but it's something.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

I miss my friends.

I just miss
my normal life.

I know.

I did some thinking
while I was up here by myself.

I realized how easily
this could have been us

if it weren't for you,
your instincts.

We may not have expected to be
companions out here, but...

I'm really glad we are.

Thanks, Sam.

Sam: We're still on
for tonight, right?

The rest of you,
good night.

Uh, can I help you
with anything?

No.

Um, uh, before you do that,
uh, should we get Sam in here?

I outrank you, Sam, and
everyone else on this bridge.

You don't need to get anyone
in here

because I'm in charge,
g*dd*mn it!

You f*cking punk!

You think you can go
behind my back like that?

Sam, please. I --

Aah!

Aah!

Help!

f*ck you, Sam!

Hi, Kamen.

Hey,
sorry to bother you.

I just wanted to
bring you something.

Oh, thank you.

I was looking all over
for this.

So...

how's the new room?

Enjoying the privacy?

Kamen, can we be civil
about all this?

I'm civil, I'm civil.

Someone's
in a good mood.

Oh, it's nothing.
I just I --

Well, I had my back
against the wall today,

and I had to make
some big moves.

And you should have seen
how I stood up for myself.

I think you would
have been proud.

That's great.
I'm glad to hear it.

I mean, you know what a big deal
this is for me.

If I can do good here,
things will calm down

and, I don't know, maybe
we can figure things out.

Okay, Kamen,
we'll see.

Good night.

Sorry. I lost you
for a moment.

Get these things
off me.

After you.

You came back just
in the nick of time.

Levi?
Yes?

I said, you came back
just in the nick of time.

Of course.

Everything okay?

In the future, I would prefer it
if you didn't shut me off,

unless I'm experiencing some
kind of critical malfunction.

Oh. Um, sorry, Levi.

I was just concerned about
what was happening to you.

What might appear strange
to you

is not necessarily
a malfunction.

What do you mean?

The world shares things
with me

that I couldn't possibly
experience by myself,

things that are far beyond
what's right in front of me.

But when you shut me off,
I see nothing,

feel nothing.

And I don't like that.

Okay, Levi.

I won't do it again.

Promise.

Chirp.
