Raised by Wolves

Mother?

Mother, are you there?

Mother, where are you?

Mother?

Release me

from this prison

so that I may see your light again.

Light, sound, feel your feeling.

Set me free.

Do not despise me for my weakness.

Grant me the power of your light

so that I may bear your whip and purify this wicked planet.

Simply purge these shadows from my sight,

and I promise you I will deliver your judgment.

I am your one true Sol.

I am ready to receive your power.

Just say the word, and I will be...

Hey.

Do you know who I am?

Have we met?

No.

We never met.

But you know me.

You raise a weapon against me, child?

I was sleeping, you sick bastard!

I remember now.

And I also remember how small you are.

Careful, dear.

You can't hurt me again.

That helmet prevents it.

So tell me... You tell me

how does it feel knowing that I can do whatever I want to you,

and you can't stop me?

No, Tempest!

Mother?

Mother.

There's no need to hurt me.

Where's your guard?

It's in the backpack.

What are you doing?

What functions do you still have available?

Proximity trigger active.

Behavioral guard in the helmet is...

checking status... active.

What's the maximum distance he's allowed from you

before the helmet kills him?

10 feet.

I want to kill him.

I understand that, Tempest.

Do you?

Every time

I feel this baby move,

I'm forced to think of this piece of shit raping me.

Does this port allow for blood draw?

Yes, of course. Mother, are you listening to me?

What's the color for outflow?

Red.

Mother!

Mother, I'm talking to you!

What are you doing?

I'm feeding my fetus.

Your fetus?

Tell me where they went.

All alone now.

Tell me where they went.

I did all you wanted me to.

Now come on.

Help me get my son back.

Poor idiots are gonna die out there.

Can't believe they took off without telling me,

after everything I've done for them.

Can't listen to that thing anymore.

Start loading the lander with food and supplies.

Reinstall the lift drive module.

My holo-screen appears to have self-activated.

Huh.

Probably some malfunction caused by the amputation.

Hold on.

Revert to old program.

Password. Password...

Shit.

It's Morse code.

Sol is the light.

Sol is...

the light.

Hey, Father.

Say something.

Father?

An android, a black hole,

and a glass of milk walk into a bar.

Father!

Alright. Let's go.

I'll finish this joke at a later date.

You need to convince them to take you along on the search.

Thank you.

Let's go, Pop.

Wait, can I come with you?

I know the kids well, like family.

I could help wrangle them.

They trust me. Hmm.

You didn't do such a good job of wrangling them

last night, though, did you?

You coming or not?

How will we track them without the locators, Your Eminence?

We're going back to the temple.

Sol will speak to me there.

Sol brought him back to me.

You said he fell down a pit.

He did. But I prayed for Sol to give him

back to me, and it worked.

So now you don't have to wonder

whether or not Sol is real anymore.

So now you have proof.

My sister Tally fell down a pit when we were small.

When I was locked up in the silo,

she came back and talked to me.

Only she was different.

What's the word?

Evil?

Hey, come on. We got to get moving.

We're too out in the open here.

Pack everything you can.

Girls, please, wake up. Get up.

Sol, tell me where they are, please.

I will do anything.

Does my son not trust me?

Does he not love me?

Please tell me.

Why are we here?

'Cause you never know what we might find.

You know, food, supplies, water.

The stuff for survival.

I can't believe something so big

could actually fly.

It must have been magnificent.

This is one of the relics

we brought from Earth.

A tooth?

It was taken from the body of Romulus.

He and his brother were raised by a she-wolf who lost her cubs.

We have to

keep it safe.

I found it for a reason.

A reason.

Sol led us here so that we could find this holy relic,

so that we can save our culture.

Keep your teeth. I don't care.

Now, if you can please look for things

we can actually use, that would be great.

Blood!

It's fresh.

Tempest.

It could be from anyone.

Hold up.

You got pregnant in a sim pod?

Yes.

I didn't even know androids could get pregnant.

Nor did I.

How did it happen?

It's beyond my understanding.

My creator made it possible.

You sound religious suddenly.

Nonsense.

So, now that you're all pregnant,

your programming tells you to turn away

the girl that you said you'd never leave?

You're referring

to the other day.

I had to send you away, Tempest.

Otherwise I could have put you in danger.

You're not a danger to me.

I feel the urge to protect you.

I also feel the need to feed my fetus.

You were afraid you would...

My programming has become unpredictable.

It was just a precaution.

Okay, but where are we even going?

To a place where the delivery is most likely to be successful.

Child, you must see this necromancer's malfunctioning.

She has no need for human blood,

and she's certainly not pregnant.

She is insane.

And she'll turn on you.

She is the threat, not me.

One more word out of you,

and I will skewer your metal head.

What is it?

Metal.

These were placed here recently.

By who?

This one reminds me of you and Father.

And that one's Sol Invictus.

These remind me of the old Tarot cards back on Earth.

Used by the devil cults before we purged their ranks.

Quiet.

Something's approaching.

Otho, hide yourself!

You think you can walk now?

Yep.

Alright.
