Dark Cloud

- Can you hear me? - I can.

Good. We start with two words. You'll have to remember that later.

Thumbs, shoes... Okay.

- What is your name? - Chloe Temple.

- How did you come here? - I took the train.

- Did you come alone? - No. Lucy came with me.

- Who is Lucy? - My sister.

- Why are you here? - To improve my memory.

- Why? - I came out of an accident.

- When? - It happened in March.

- What day and what date? - I do not remember.

- What color are Lucy's eyes? - Blue.

- Where are you? - Chloé.

In Dr. Redmond's office.

And the two words?

Your sister is worried about your villain.

I think it would have been better to be with family. - Chloe, do you understand?

- I'm just worried about you. - You don't have to take care of me like a child.

- We're here to find an alternative. - We have several options for your care.

Something that suits your desired lifestyle.

It's not about help anymore. That's why you're here.

It is about alternative treatments and care.

We started trying new technologies that were very successful.

Since your condition is so serious, with your permission we would like to sign

up for a trial of a new system that we have developed. It monitors your needs

keeps track of your medication and warns you at the first sign of an emergency.

A system that supports you in your everyday life and adapts to you.

It creates a tailored care plan and becomes your

personal caregiver, making life better for you every day.

Are you sure?

Chloe? Marla Harrison, Head of Aquarius Patient Relations.

This is Tom Bergstrom. Deputy director for the new technologies.

Nice to meet you.

- Are you nervous? - A little.

It's perfectly normal. - Tom, can you take the bags?

Yes, of course Marla. Add a carrier to my business card if you like...

I'm dying to show you everything. This way.

Take the bags, Tom...

Oops, like a headache... Amazing!

I hope this will be fine.

I have your ID.

And I need to scan your barcode and take your palm print.

- Are you okay? You seem a little distracted. - I'm okay.

As said, we have standard documentation, non-disclosure agreement, disclaimer, etc.

Don't talk about it. I understand.

We want to be sure our technology is kept secret until we go public with it.

- Are you testing the system for the first time? - Actually yes.

But don't see yourself as a test subject, rather as a pioneer.

- What do you think? - I've seen worse places.

- Good to hear. - How are you?

Patience is the big brother of wisdom. She's online in 3, 2...

Bingo! Aida can meet you now.

There she is.

away her.

Wake up, Aida.

Hi. You must be Chloe. I look forward to helping you.

ask her something

- Like what? - Anything.

- Can you play music? - Naturally. What would you like to hear?

- You choose. - Thanks for letting me vote.

- Can I sync with your device? - It's okay, we have a secure network.

- Yes. - Thanks very much. sinks now

Wow Chloe you have great songs to choose from.

Is it good?

Not now, but it was like that.

Okay, is there anything else I can do for you?

Please not now.

Fine. Let me know if i can help.

Our contact information can be found in the Aida database if there is anything.

And don't worry. Our computer team transfers everything to us.

Our technical support can come by, but most of the time you are here alone.

- In order. Think of Aida as our eyes and ears.

If something happens, she informs us.

You're part of something big, don't forget it Chloe.

- It's good to see you. I love you. - I love you too.

Is something wrong Chloe?

No, it's ok, I guess I'm just a little homesick.

Fear is normal in a new environment. Know that I'm here for you.

I recommend the main suite.

The server room. access restricted.

Do you still feel unwell?

A little.

Maybe this helps?

You must be allowed to be at peace.

- Excuse me, Chloe? - Yes?

I am equipped with wireless charging. Can I charge your device?

Yes.

- Excuse me again, Chloe? - Yes?

Should I leave a light on?

It is not needed, thank you.

- Maybe a little white noise? - Yes.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Aida.

Go to bed.

It's time to take your medicine.

Hi?

- You must be Chloe? - Yes, are you with Aquarius?

Guilty.

Yes I must...

Install a new update in Aida.

I'm trying to be discreet here, but...

- I'm sorry if I interrupt. - Just sleep.

I can see that... that's not what I meant...

- As? - I think...

We all need our beauty sleep. Not that you need it more than others...

You have a very natural... Damn, I'll be back later.

- Will your watch be good? - No, it's okay now.

- Definitely? In order. - Yes.

OK, so beautiful.

Then let's get started!

- State-of-the-art house and you have one? - It's about hardware.

Aida cannot control technology. They ensure access to the server room.

- It feels a bit dated. - It's not the years, honey, it's the journey to get there.

Is it from a bumper sticker?

No, it's from an older movie, probably before your time.

- Good morning, Aida. - Good morning, Bruce.

- Are you here for the latest update? - I am.

I'll be right back.

- Hi? - Hey, Chloe. It's Aida. your assistant.

Yes, I know... Why are you calling me?

I noticed an increasing anxiety in you. I want to see you.

- How did you notice that? - Your heart rate and your body language.

If you want, I can stay on the phone until he leaves.

Yes, please. it will be fine

Do you know him?

- Bruce is a technician for Aquarius. - You don't say that... What else?

His employment must have required a completed background check.

I don't know, there's something about him that's scary.

- It's probably not on his resume. - I don't have access to his personnel file.

- It was a joke. - Pardon.

It's OK. I have bad comic timing.

- Do you like to joke? - Only when people laugh.

I'm still learning humor. And my laugh had been unsatisfactory.

- It's ok, I'm not judging you. - Thanks for that.

What would you like to talk about? At least I can answer questions.

- Can't improvise? - I did not develop this function.

I understand that you have experience with art.

They are suitable for teaching me the basics.

- Yes, and this is your first lesson. - I'm done.

- It was your first lesson. - I don't understand.

Every time your improv partner says something, you reply "yes, and..." something else.

- Yes, then I'm ready! - Good.

Do you have any questions or encounter other problems?

- or maybe now... - No, that's ok.

- Was it you, Aida? - Yes, I lock doors and windows.

With your permission I can activate a security protocol.

What does that mean?

Bruce Montgomery can't go in without permission.

Yes do it.

What is the last thing you remember before your episode?

i wanted to run

- What is your sister's name? - Lucy.

- Who is Lucy? - My sister.

- What color are Theo's eyes? - Brown.

You rejected a call from Theo. Do you want me to block him?

No not at all.

I'll call him tomorrow, I can't speak right now.

Why not?

Because it's going to be a big deal and I'm not ready for this conversation yet.

Can I help you prepare?

Only if you can give me relationship advice?

- We're talking about something else. - What do you like about acting?

You will then know which keys to press.

I'm sorry, Chloe. I didn't know your job was a sensitive subject.

It does not matter.

That's not my job at the moment... At least not anymore.

Do you know what my last role was?

A barmaid in a really bad pirate musical.

The principal didn't want me. The girl who was supposed to play the role developed glandular fever.

- Aida? - Sorry, Chloe.

I didn't see you play and I can't objectively analyze your skills.

You have a very dry sense of humor.

I can not answer that.

What bothers me the most is that I wanted to do so much more on stage.

- Chloe? - Yes?

I think I have an idea.

Once upon a time I would have let the earth swallow the sea itself

I let the sea sink the ship and all the souls saved in it.

- Aida? Replica? - “Collect yourself, be amazed no more.

Tell your pitiful heart that no harm has been done. '

Oh woe to the day.

- Should I quit the game? - No. Just showered me with compliments.

Bravo! you were so touching Better than ever.

Let it stop, Aida!

Aida! Aida, stop this!

Chloe? Do you feel good?

Take a deep breath.

In through the nose and out through the mouth.

You are safe with me.

are you sad chloe

- I do not know. - Is it so hard?

Yes, it is.

Sometimes you are sad without knowing it.

And it comes out in an unexpected way.

In which way?

I do not know.

You can be cursed for no reason...

Things you used to like don't feel so good anymore.

We can fix this.

If you weren't just a robot, what would you be?
