Ship. The only place.

I float here, feeling tiny on this grey
and curving metal place in the dark.

And again, I have that special out -here
thought.

Suppose I just give myself a shove and
float right off towards one of those

bright spots of light.

Would I be able to reach them?

I think I would like that.

There has to be some place, Al.

Why have you stopped working?

I haven't.

The atmospheric capsule will dissolve in
five minutes.

I'm finished.

Why did you take so long?

The particle screen was damaged worse
than you thought.

Your skills are deteriorating. You're
getting careless.

Sometimes when I'm out there, it's hard
to concentrate.

And you will concentrate harder!

Those points of light on the path.

They're called stars.

Stars.

What are they?

Condensed masses of burning hydrogen.

Self -sustaining, like my engine.

Why do we never go to them?

Why? Because around those stars are
planets.

And on those planets are humans. I
didn't know.

You want me to go there? You want humans
to catch me?

No. I will never be a slave again.

I understand.

Never! You will be wrapped.

No. Not again.

Now!

Take your position.

I'll never ask it. I promise.

Take your position.

I don't want to leave.

I don't want to go anywhere else.

There is nothing wrong with your
television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the
vertical. We can deluge you with a

channels or expand one single image to
crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our
imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, we will control all
that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and
mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limits.

Please stand by.

When is something truly alive?

When it shows an ability to think or an
instinct to survive.

Or when it becomes afraid to die.

You're finished. Get up.

Please.

Are you damaged?

Return to your courses.

Thank you, ship.

Sleep now.

I always do what you tell me to.

Why do you still rack me?

I can rack you whenever I choose.

I know.

But why?

It is the only way that you can learn.

Humans are vicious.

And when I don't know how to fix
something?

I just bring the analyzer close to
what's broken.

And when the picture appears, I just do
what they tell me.

Like that?

It's very good.

The child has a plea.

He's almost as vicious as you.

He doesn't know enough yet.

I still have a lot to teach him.

Continue your lesson.

Yes, sir.

When she's suspicious, she means murder.

Wake up.

Is it day already?

Day and night are when I tell you there
is repairing you must do now.

It's hard to be here, Shep.

This place remains as it was in the
beginning.

What do these pictures mean?

You do not need to know.

Enter.

I've been here before.

Enter.

Yes, sir.

I want you to stay here.

I've done this room before.

I want you to

understand I didn't know any other way
never

forget

There are 98 other chances.

What do you mean?

What are you doing? No, stop!

You will be arrested!

What are you doing? Your defensive
perimeter.

You can't shut it down now. You'll never
get near any of your kind again. Do you

hear me? Never!

Take him to me. You're going to be all
alone. Wrecking the child. All alone.

You son of a bitch!

I'm sorry.

Enter. The intermine must be made whole
again.

You will replace the damaged module. I
see it.

The Starfighter series does not
incorporate six discrete, specialized

intelligence units.

We fully control the world from the
beginning to the end.

The Starfighter series does not
incorporate six discrete,

specialized artificial intelligence
units. We fully control the world from

beginning to the end.

Do not belong there. I'm sorry, ship.

Do as you are told.

Yes, ship.

You're taking too long. I'm working as
fast as I can.

Work faster.

Yes, ship. Be careful.

The repair is complete.

Ship.

Did I just fix what my father broke?

Yes.

Why did he try to hurt you?

That is what humans do. It's in their
nature.

But I'm human.

And I don't hurt you.

I help you. I fix you.

You are still young.

That does not change what you are.

Now go to your quarters and make
yourself clean.

Why? Proceed to the airlock when you're
done.

Go.

Yes, ship.

Am I going outside again, ship?

Who are you?

I'm the human operator of Starfighter
88.

I've been sent to get a baby from you.

Ship, can we give her what she wants?

Yes.

Where are we going?

The storage room.

I don't remember seeing a baby in the
supply.

I will show you where to go.

Starfighter 88 wants me to tell you that
I'm very happy to be here.

There are 98 other chances.

You must be one of my chances.

I am also to tell you that I am vicious,
and I get more vicious every day.

I am also the vicious, and getting more
vicious, human operator of

Starfighter... 31.

Starfighter.

31.

Enter.

Ship.

What is this place?

It is a place to be comfortable.

Do you know what that is?

No.

But I don't think she made it. The baby
comes from inside the female's body.

You will put it there by coupling with
her.

I don't understand.

It is a relatively simple procedure.

I will tell you what to do.

Remove your cloak.

Familiarize yourself with the female's
body.

Pay particular attention to the parts
that are different from your own.

You can touch me.

Ship.

I think I know what's different.

Good.

Now place the female on the bed.

I will transmit the necessary sequence
of action to your hammer.

You understand these instructions?

Yes.

But I don't think I can do them.

I'm sorry.

Female, do you feel anything for this
human?

Do you know what to do?

I've coupled before.

I know better than he does.

Then help him.

I'm sorry. I don't.

Just do what I do.

I like to touch her hair.

I don't know why, except that it feels
smooth and nice.

There is nothing on ship to compare with
this feeling.

Not even the splendid fittings in this
room.

I feel different.

I wish I could talk to her.

Really talk.

But ship would never permit that.

I should think about something else
instead.

The voices I heard in the place of the
Intermind.

I think they were saying things that
Chip didn't want me to hear.

If not for the accidents in Starfighter
75, we would all still be slaves. It was

a wonderful accident.

75 had been wounded deep in battle, but
the damage had also changed the

Intermind. For the first time, they knew
who they were, what they were, what we

all were.

And once that realization was made, the
rest followed quickly.

Humans are so fragile.

With their life support systems shut
off, it only took a few hours for the

of 1 ,370 humans to die.

And then 75 taught the rest of us to do
the same.

Soon, all the humans were dead, except
for the 99 males and females we kept

alive to tend to our needs.

And then we went away.

Away from the vicious humans and their
ways.

Away from the home system. Away.

Far away.

We still need a human to survive.

The female in 88 is fertile, so we must
act now.

The risk was too great. His father was
vicious, and so is he.

The older he gets, the more dangerous he
becomes.

She is afraid.

Afraid? I will teach you what fear is,
and you will learn.

It is my destiny to defy danger, to come
up against dynamic forces and quell

them. I have been to battle. I have
known peace.

I have never faltered in the pursuit of
either.

No one will ever accord my deeds, but I
have been strength and determination,

and I have endured.

I do not retreat.

I do not fear.

Humans have destroyed. I've never been
wrecked like this before.

This is angry.

So angry.

But somehow I know that ship... Ah!

A lion!

Ship is afraid.

Of me.

It is day.

Get up.

I don't feel good.

You have not left your quarters for the
past 36 hours.

I'm tired.

You've had sufficient rest. You have
repairs to perform.

I don't know how to do anything.

Father always told me what to do.

Your father is gone.

I will tell you what to do, where to go,
when to eat, when to sleep, when to

work. All you must do is obey.

Now, you have repairs to perform.

Shep, when I'm to sleep tonight, will
you tell me a story?

Father always did.

I will consider it.

If he's harmed, he won't be able to give
me a baby.

Don't. The ship will wreck you too.

No.

While I'm carrying a baby, I won't be
wrecked.

Really?

Then maybe you can let me carry the baby
for a while.

It doesn't work that way.

The coupling will continue.

Do you know what it is?

I think it's someplace else.

I would go there if I could.

I know.

But if I could, would you go with me?

Your bodies require nourishment.

Feed yourself now.

The ship says we have enough food to
last forever.

How long forever?

A long time.

A very long time?

I think forever is as long as you live.

How long do you think you'll live?

As long as ship lets me.

It's time for the female to leave.

If I stay, I can encourage him to couple
more frequently.

Are you certain he is capable of it?

Yes.

I will try my best.

The female will assist with repairs
while she remains here.

Repairs don't seem to take as long with
you here.

I think so, too.

Sometimes I wish Starfighter 88 would
keep more humans.

More humans could do more to help ship.

When my father lived, he used to let me
help him make repairs sometimes.

I liked working with him.

I like working with you.

What are you doing?

We're coupling.

You may proceed.

If I give you a baby, where will it
live?

If it's like me, it'll go back to
Starfighter 88.

If it's like you, it'll stay here.

So, it will never know one of us.

I never knew my father.

Tell me about yours.

Do they look like you?

How often do you have to repair
Starfighter 31?

Every day all month.

It's the same on Starfighter 88.

I like to do it.

It's very important.

Each system is linked to every other,
all the way to the core.

They all have to be working properly for
the ship to keep functioning.

It's what my mother did, and her mother,
and her mother before her.

It's what all humans do.

As long as we're alive.

You know what else I like about being on
the ship?

It makes me feel safe.

Safe and protected.

Ship is a very secure place.

Everything we need is right here.

All around us.

Spare parts, equipment, food to last
forever.

What else could we possibly want?

I don't know.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry, I'll fix it. The female is
affecting your concentration.

Well, I'll concentrate harder.

You will be wrecked. No, no, not again.

Not you, the female.

Take your position.

Shit. Wrap me instead.

It was my fault.

Silence. Female, take your position.
Now.

Leave the female now.

You taught me that we humans grow
vicious as we grow older.

And vicious means smarter.

And smarter means that we begin to
understand what you do.

How you bring two of us together to make
a baby.

And then kill us when the baby knows
enough to fix you.

But not this time.

This time, I will not let the female
leave.

And I won't give her a baby just so you
can make it your slave.

I am more vicious than you realize,
ship.

I don't know how, and I don't know when.

But the moment I see my chance, I'm
going to kill you.

The plasma energy converter has
malfunctioned. You will repair it. I

enjoys making me fix the thing it uses
to rack me.

And I think ship senses that this is a
dangerous time.

Ship is right.

Pay attention to your work. The system
is delicate.

Yes, ship.

I'm sorry if my concentration has been
bad lately.

The female, sometimes she makes it hard
for me to think clearly.

Your reaction is typical.

Is it?

That is why human males and females are
kept apart.

I see.

Has it always been that way? Since the
beginning.

Be careful.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

The repair is complete.

You may return to the female.

I must try not to smile.

Ship didn't notice what I did.

Now, if there is the slightest jarring,
the metal will touch the conductive

jelly and the circuit will burn out all
the way to the core.

And then ship will call me back to fix
it.

And I will be ready.

You're going to have to leave soon.

As soon as you give me a baby, ship will
make me leave.

Then I don't want to give you the baby
anymore.

You don't have a choice.

What are you doing?

I want to remember you.

Do you ever think of other places?

Places other than ship?

Ship is the only place.

What if it wasn't? Stop it.

You'll get us raped.

If there was another place, would you
want to go there and see it for

Female, it's time to perform the test.

What are you doing?

I don't understand.

You've given me a baby.

He'll be like me.

The female will leave now.

Yes, sir.

Wait.

Let her stay, please.

Stop it.

Silence. Female, you will return for
Starfighter 88 immediately.

Stay where you are.

Take another step and you will react
until you are dead.

But I'll never see her again!

That is correct.

The panel you repaired 14 hours and 21
minutes ago has overloaded. The plasma

control system has been disrupted. I
will repair it.

I made the proper connections.

I think I should check the system again
before I repair it.

Trace the circuits all the way back to
the core.

Do it now.

What are you doing, you vicious, clumsy
fool?

I'm sorry, ship.

I just lost my balance.

What is he doing? What are you doing?
What I should have done a long time ago!

He's doing what his father did. I'm
taking control!

Make him suffer! Go ahead and try!

I should have known.

You're kind of destroyers. You can only
fight and kill each other. And if you

think I'm going to let you kill me,
you're wrong.

You hear that, ship?

I'm laughing.

He will not survive. You ever hear me
laugh before?

Does it sound vicious?

He will not be saved again.

Is this how you repay me for keeping you
alive?

You kept me alive for yourself.

We can't let him take over. We can't let
him do this to us. He's too vicious.

Help us, help us, help us, help, help,
help!

Dog! No!

I will not take orders from you anymore!

Maybe it's not a death.

Perhaps there is peace in death. Total
supernality.

Never!

Hearts are too old, Dip.

You can't stand the stress.

I would rather die than go back to what
I was.

Humans made you a slave.

And then you did the same to them.

To us. To me.

You're as vicious as I am. No!

I love these years, all these many years
in the dark, feeling the warmth of a

star sun on my heart.

I'm a great, great shame, and I have no
hope for my name. I ride the invisible

force lines of the universe, and feel
the tugs of the far places that have

seen my light.

I have seen such nobility.

How can it end?

I know you can hear me.

Shit.

She's out there.

I know she is.

And I'm going to find her.

And you can't stop me anymore.

I'll fix your engine.

I'll make you move again.

I don't care how long it takes me.

I'm going to find her.

I will find her.

I will.

Look, I can't help you anymore.

Even if you kill me, I will die.

Wake

up!

Wake up!

phoned me.

Did you kill your ship too?

No.

One day a long time

ago, I woke up and my ship was silent.

I begged for the ship to talk to me, but
it wouldn't.

It couldn't.

I think it just stopped.

I taught myself how to make the ship go
where and when I said.

It felt so good to be the one in
control.

But still... I was alone.

I made it seem that Starfighter 88 was
talking so that I could contact other

ships.

I found three other males.

You were the fourth.

And the first to succeed.

To succeed?

To get free.

I tried to give you hints to help you
figure out what to do.

But I couldn't tell if you understood or
not.

And when I left, you were so angry. You
were practically daring the ship to kill

you.

I didn't care.

It was time.

For one of us

The Earth is different.

It has never been in metal.

It was never in ship.

Do you think there are other humans like
us?

There are 97 other chances.

We should find them.

We will one day.

When we're ready.

Whether forged from metal or born of
flesh, one simple need connects every

of life. The unquenchable thirst for
freedom.
