Dystopia

- In the year 2037 our world is dying.

Mankind has been struck by an infertility pandemic.

Those who suffer childbirth are rewarded with

a mere 15 seconds of their baby's life.

Before the virus takes them.

Anyone that does this once,

never attempts it again.

The pain is just too much.

- Today, Biocorp made made world history

by administering the cure for cancer.

Available to the entire world's population,

in exchange for their voluntary enrollment

in the ID chip program.

- Not a single child exists in our world today.

Empty schools and empty playgrounds haunt our waking dreams.

People rioted.

Killed each other in the hopeless void that faced us.

Biocorp was allowed to declare martial law

to keep the peace.

Which only meant they employed hired thugs

to put down anyone that blamed them

for their futile existence.

An uprising killed 15 million people in 2023.

There hasn't been a rebellion since.

And what would be the point?

Biocorp doesn't have to care.

No one does.

But it was our fault, really.

Biocorp tempted every human

into accepting the ID chip program.

A microchip that would cure every disease known to man.

The promise was immortality.

It almost lived up to its promise.

We're healthy.

There's no disease in our time.

But there's also no children.

As the chip couldn't tell the difference

between disease and a pregnancy.

It was tough to put a brave face on it.

But we had to.

For those we loved.

Hey, sis.

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby.

I found a new place today.

Oh yeah, how was it?

Oh, it was great.

That's good.

Surprises.

- Surprises? - Mmm hmm.

Okay.

Yup, I did.

Look at this.

What is that?

What are you trying to sweeten me up for?

- No, it's not, I love that smile.

There's no food is there?

No, but there's copper wire.

- Oh, copper wire. - Mm hmm.

- I'm sure that will taste very delicious.

- Indeed it will, once you put that secret sauce of yours.

Oh, a secret sauce of mine.

Hey babe, the secret?

It's out.

- We are on the verge of finding you.

Believe me our species will prevail.

You need not worry about that.

We've heard this before!

Biocorp needs to give us a solution now!

You made the problem you should clean it up!

- Sir, we have the best scientists on this planet.

And we are aware of everything you are saying, sir.

As I was saying.

Biocorp is protecting your future.

- Are you trying to get us both killed?

- They are lying to us every month!

They're hiding something in there!

Of course they are!

Okay.

Vanish.

Do you know,

it's people like you.

Scientists.

That ruin our world.

Meddling into things you couldn't possibly ever understand.

I understand.

No you don't.

Our species is dying, that much you might understand.

What you don't understand is that our only hope,

lies with the Biocorp scientists finding a cure

for this pandemic.

And in order for them to do that, we need to

give them everything they need.

Including cooperation.

Cooperation so they can do their job as quickly as possible.

Is that a joke?

Biocorp.

Do you believe half of the rubbish

you spout from that podium every month?

Biocorp isn't doing anything.

Biocorp doesn't have a cure.

That's the truth.

Biocorp isn't even working on a cure.

That's the truth!

You know why?

Because if they were, you'd be flanked by scientists.

And not guys with guns.

Wanna cause a panic?

Hmm?

Want the riots again of 2023, is that what you'd like?

I want the truth.

Oh, you want the truth.

Well,

I'm gonna tell you the truth.

And after I tell you the truth,

that man is going to kill you.

So here's the truth.

We've got nothing.

If you'll excuse me, I have to meet with our CEO.

Make it discreet.

- Perhaps I've got time for a cigarette.

What do you say?

Thank you.

I know it's not easy.

Just following orders, huh?

You old enough to remember a time when everyone

was worried about these things killin' us?

And Biocorp broke in and saved the world by curing cancer.

Something kinda funny about that.

Cure every disease.

Including that horrible one pregnancy.

I haven't got a lighter.

Alright, ready?

Ready to fly?

Is everything okay?

- Hey. - Hi.

I was skipping curfew.

- Yeah, well maybe you need a new watch.

Because you've got 30 minutes.

Right, yeah.

Well maybe I was rushing home to see you.

Sister.

Brother's in the room, you know.

- Maybe you should tell me your brother's still here.

Any joy?

Uh, if by any joy you mean

putting him into a coma, yes.

By teleporting him 10 feet now.

We gotta stop killing mice.

I don't feel good about it.

Yeah, me too.

Okay.

Tell me about the signal, c'mon.

- Well, it's the same 23 hour 56 minute repetition.

Okay.

- But there's no way to track where it's coming from.

- What about the triangulation by the numbers,

I thought it was something.

That's just it.

There is a source reading.

If you look right here,

What did it say?

- Well, it says it's coming from here.

Here the apartment?

Thing has a bug in it.

- We have to recalibrate it again.

Yeah.

- Guys, come on it's getting cold.

We'll get there with it, mate.

What did you say?

We'll get there with it, mate.

- Okay, dude, we'll get there with it mate.

Don't take the mick outta me.

Damn, mate, just the love tags.

Hey, easy man.

It's my turn, it's my turn.

My turn!

See what I grew up with?

Shut up, okay.

Pretend like I never heard anything you guys said before,

and tell me again, how exactly is this gonna make us rich?

- Hey, what he's trying to say is,

that teleportation is possible,

and we actually have the prototype

- to show to the government. - A prototype?

- Yes we have the prototype. - You call that a prototype?

- Okay. - Yes.

- We'll just stay with the governor's committee,

and we need more funding so we can get to the next level.

Ah, that doesn't work.

- Excuse me, it works. - It does?

- Yes. - It was sort of...

No, phase one of it was.

- Oh, how many phases - There's like,

two or three phases.

But phase one?

Human mapping.

Encoding.

We can do all of that, we just can't send it anywhere

cuz it's too big - Ohhh so you can't really
