Scavengers Reign

How are we looking?

Uploading is on schedule, and all ships

are present and accounted for,

except one -- the Demeter 227.

What happened?

Uh, I'm not sure.

Apparently they re-routed, and then poof, disappeared.

Any word from the crew?

No.

Damn.

That's unfortunate.

Yeah, it's terrible.

Um, what should we do?

I'll inform the bosses, but I doubt they'll sink any resources

into trying to find them.

But what if there are survivors?

Well, for their sake, let's hope there aren't any.

Goddamn. Okay. Uh...

Okay, cool.

Is everything okay?

I can't believe we did it.

Yeah.

We're all set.

This isn't going to fall on our heads, is it?

I programmed the ship to land somewhere east of here...

but that could happen.

There it is.

Holy shit. Here we go.

Yes!

No, no, no, no. No. No!

No! Shit!

Goddamn it.

Sam. What?!

I'm sorry.

I can't even think straight.

Listen, Sam.

We have no other choice than to get

the battery in pod five. Okay?

So if we leave now, we can get there by the early morning.

I'll get the bags.

Hmm?

Levi, can you come here please?

No problem.

Why did you bury my wrench?

I'm not sure.

I know I've been having some malfunctions lately.

But I was just curious what would happen if I did.

Open your maintenance hatch.

Ugh. You sure this goo is helping?

Absolutely.

This biological material seems to have a complementary

composition to my circuitry, which is allowing me to --

All right. Stop. Close the hatch and face me please.

Tell me again, Levi. What are we doing here?

Our goal is to create a sustainable life

where we can survive and thrive until our return home.

And what's the first thing I'm going to do when I get back?

You're going to quit this job.

And then what?

You're going to trade me in for a new bike.

A bike that won't bury my tools.

Right. Well, your memory isn't completely shot,

but I can't have any of this bizarre behavior,

Levi, not out here.

I need you to schedule a full diagnostic

on your logic and behavior system tonight, okay?

Diagnostics check confirmed.

Azi. Yes?

I don't mean to alarm you,

but my sensors are picking up increased activity

in the outer perimeter.

Yeah, I know. Hang back this time.

I'll take the bike out.

The area is clear for now.

But I've noticed their behavior has been more aggressive lately.

Levi, can you lower your threat settings

for automatic emergency response?

Sure, but I would advise against it.
