Sam: It was amazing.

My brother and I would go down
there every day

during the summer.

Sometimes we'd make fire and
we'd barbecue, sh**t squirrels.

So, how about you?

You do any wandering
or exploring where you grew up?

Get in any trouble?

I wish. Not much going on
where I'm from.

Just an endless, lonely sprawl
of rusty metal beams

and crumbling concrete.

I remember one time on a job,

we had to dock on a moon for
an overnight refueling.

[ Sighs ] And I was
working with this guy,

and we couldn't sleep
so we went out

for a little walk, right?

And this is an unmanned dock.

So we're totally alone,

no other living things
out there in any direction.

We get back to the ship,
and right in our path,

where we just were,
staring at us,

there's this skull
of some creature.

Weird.

[ Growling ]
Right?

And it gets even weirder.

My friend was convinced
that this was some kind of

bad omen specifically for him.

He became totally
obsessed with it.

Wouldn't stop talking about it.

And then, I sh*t you not,

a year later to the day,
he dies.

Totally unexpected.
Boom.

Whoa, Jesus.

[ Growling ]

[ Groans ]

I mean, he put so much
significance

on this random thing.

But then it happened,
it actually happened.

Well, how did the skull
get there?

I don't know.
Total mystery.

Damn, that stuff smells.

[ Roars ]

[ Roars ]

Sam, don't.

[ Footsteps thudding ]

[ Growls ]

Okay. Time to go.

I guess it doesn't matter how
that skull got there.

There's always a million
rational explanations

for why anything happens.

I think we just can't help
the instinct

to give meaning to things
we don't understand.

But it was like
he manifested his own death

from something
that wasn't even real.

Well, it was real to him,

and I guess
that's all that matters.

I just couldn't
imagine giving up

that kind of control
over my own life.

You know?

Well, sh*t.

[ Whirring ]

[ Beeping ]

Levi?!
Are you listening?

Could you give me a hand?

I'm sorry, Azi.

What were you doing?

Oh, I was observing
a string of insects.

It was in the middle
of a cargo move and then... bam.

Total shutdown.

Fiona: Probably just
a simple electrical short.

I don't know how you're
so patient with these things.

[ Whirring ]

Got it.
Good as new, Azi.

Levi, are you online?

I am, Azi.
Fully operational.

Bring it back if
anything else goes wrong,

and we'll do
a complete overhaul.

Come on, Levi.

Levi, time to go.
Hop on.

Of course.

[ Beeping ]

Looks pretty deep, but I can see

a little bit of light
on the other side.

Maybe we can get through.

[ Squealing ]

[ Thud, growling ]

Hey, look down there.

[ Screeches ]

I don't get it.

Those things are
about as big as we are.

How did it get through?

Tracks on the ground.

So there's definitely a way
to get to the other side.

[ Roaring in distance ]

Uh, Ursula?

[ Rumbling ]

[ Gasps ]

Great.

Come on. Come on.

[ Screeches ]

[ Snarls ]

Aah!

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Kamen, there's been
a coolant leak

for the mining equipment.

How much did we lose?

We patched it, but I estimate

we've lost % of our supply.

And why is this my problem?

Well, the batteries
for those machines are made of

an alloy that has to be kept
at a sub-freezing temp.

On our current course,
they would melt down

before we reach the colony.

I'll handle it.

Should we tell the flight crew?

Our entire mission
could be compromised.

I said I'll handle it.

[ Spits ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Rumbling ]

Sam: Run!

We're almost there.
Just a little further.

Hold up a sec.
There's something over here.

Wait. What?

No! What are you doing?

Ursula!

[ Rumbling ]

Ursula! Are you okay?

That was incredible.

I-I can't believe
what I just saw.

Wait, what?

What the hell were you
doing in there?!

I don't... I don't know.

I think we were
talking to each other.

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

It's hard to explain.

I just... it was fascinating.

Talking to who, Ursula?
You're not making any sense.

If you just go back in
there and try...

Go back in?
Are you crazy?

We're trying to get out of here,
in case you forgot.

There's still a long way to go,

and we can't be sitting
around wasting time!

It wasn't a waste of time.

Look, it doesn't
make a difference.

Can we just move on?
Please?

Fine.

[ Engine whirring ]

Ugh, what's gotten
into these things today?

They're way more active
than usual.

Levi: I'm picking up some small
tremors from the ground.

It might be making them uneasy.

You mean like an earthquake?

No, they aren't following
the pattern of an earthquake,

but the magnitude
is slowly increasing.

Marvelous. Well, just let me
know if it becomes a problem.

I will continue to monitor.

Gonna grab some more water.

[ Rumbling ]

Azi!

What is it?

[ Gasps ]

I'm detecting a number of
unknown life-forms

coming our way.

I suggest we leave
as soon as possible.

[ Rumbling ]

[ Squealing ]

[ Squeals ]

I don't know what to do!

We're gonna get crushed!

[ Squealing ]

[ Rumbling ]

[ Squealing ]

What are you doing?!

Lighten your grip,
follow the sway of the herd.

Now can you tell me
the "big news"?

[ Pouring ]
I got the position!

You got the job?

Mm-hmm.
Wow.

I'm so happy for you.

You've worked so hard for this.

But, wouldn't that mean...

You should come with me.

I don't know, Kamen.

I can't just drop
everything and leave.

I like my life.

Of course you can!

We can work together.
It would be amazing!

Look, every one of these
long haul ships

has a robotics department.

They could definitely use you.

You keep saying
we're "in a rut."

This is an opportunity
to change all that!

I mean, look at
this place, Fiona.

What else could it offer us?

Honestly.

I suppose.

Come on, Sam, look at me.
Can we just talk?

I'm just saying, well,
I saw something in there

and decided to check it out.

I can't describe exactly
what it was,

but I've never seen
anything like it,

and I just wanted
to get a closer look.

I don't know.
It was profound and...

Ursula, I'm not trying
to be an assh*le

or treat you like a kid,
but we survive out here

because we work together,
we're a team.

You hanging back by yourself
to check something out

is a stupid and dangerous
impulse right now.

Sam, if it was dangerous,
I wouldn't have done it.

Why don't you trust me?

We're not just responsible
for ourselves here.

There may be people alive
on the ship,

and we need to wake them up
and go home.

And I can't do this
without you, okay?

That's where we're at.

Well, I can do this without you.

[ Sighs ] Sam, wait,
I'm sorry, that was not...

Look, it's fine, alright?

If we keep going this way,
I think we'll be back on track

in a few... ah!

[ Groans ]

Sam, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

It's the same sh*t from before!

God, this stuff stinks.

[ Growling ]

Sam!

[ Screams ]

[ Creature growls ]

Sam!

[ Sam screaming ]

Sam?

Sam!
