Samsung Galaxy (0:00)
I can say to my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, hey, find a keto friendly restaurant nearby and text it to Beth and Steve. And it does without me lifting a finger so I can get in more squats anywhere I can. 1, 2, 3. Will that be cash or credit? Credit. 4 Galaxy S25 Ultra. The AI companion that does the heavy lifting. So you can do. You get yours@samsung.com compatible with select apps. Requires Google Gemini account. Results may vary based on input. Check responses for accuracy. Get the Angel REEF special at McDonald's. Now, let's break it down. My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course. And don't forget the fries and the drinks. Sound good? I participate in restaurants for a limited time. The events in this episode take place prior to the events in episode one. When you do that, it's like being someone I forgot. That person will not fade. Where you going? I have to go to work. No, you don't. I have to go. What's wrong? Kelly? Let me go. What is wrong? Everything. I have to go. No, you don't. Don't go. Ever again. You don't mean that. Or you won't mean it for long. I do not say what I do not mean. What you bring to my life. I can't get used to it. I can't rely on it. You can. There's a chasm inside you. I think. A never ending one. I know what it's like. I know I won't be enough. Akasha, you are not wrong. Was time filled my emptiness with fire and blood Downward spiraling paths those to nothing felt good at least Pushed the dark away but only so long. Then there was you. Blood, a sea maybe no longer need but fire. You can be my fire and that is enough. We'll prove it. Over and over. We'll prove it, Kimian. I promise. I promise. Kenyon. Novo. Yes. What are you doing? Watching you sleep. Doing this. Why? Sorry. My therapist says I have a wide latitude for social interaction. Appropriateness. I think that's just a nice way of saying I do weird stuff sometimes. Who's Ananya? You were saying it. The name. While you were dreaming. I assume you were dreaming, not just mumbling. You were supposed to protect her. You didn't. You thought the wrong things were important. Hurt, all that? No. I guessed. It's the same for me. I let someone down, too. Thought the wrong things were important. They weren't. Are you going to kill Locke? Because if you were to, you know, kill her, then I couldn't repair all the things I've broken. I need her for that. You and I, the same boat. That's what L'ak does, I think. Finds useful people, maneuvers them into her debt, then uses the debt to use them. It's actually a very effective method. Pragmatically speaking, it is. Why are we, do you think, always fixing the same mistakes? Why don't we learn from them? It should be a simple algorithm, shouldn't it? X equals Y. It really should. Where is luck? Dying in her quarters. Come again. Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. I don't know if you knew this, but anyone can get the same Premium Wireless for $15 a month plan that I've been enjoying.

You really are pathetic, you know that? Not yet. Lock, you there? Not yet. Why don't you just quit? Why don't you just give up already? We both know you don't have it in you. Not yet. Block. So you don't have it in you. We'll see about that. See about that? Who is it? Sa. God damn it. Lock. Damn it. I need input. What? I'm about to hit sensor range of this empty. Shit. Already? Yeah. Been banging you for 20 minutes. The sensor envelope on this thing is huge. Push into the envelope, wait 10 minutes, then start transmitting clearance codes. You sure about that? This ship looks serious. Supposed to be a miner's guild, aren't we? So act like it. Who? What voice? In your head. One you hear at your worst. My old man. For you. Her. Says a lot about a person. Voices. They hear, what they say. You think we can ever shut them up, quiet them? Or are they just our chained ghosts? Depends. Reckon whether or not we want the same things they do. Guess I'm fucked, then. The hypo helps with the anr. Keeps my insides together. Keeps my body and my augments off each other's backs. Temporarily helps less and less. But that was my last one anyway. All out. No. I left the rest. No more hypos. Either I find what I need on that ship or I don't. The person I am now isn't coming back one way or another. What is it out there that can save you? You wouldn't believe it. Can feel through the length of this ship. Tell the Roche and the Brid has one boot on the floor and the other propped on the instrument panel. Can believe a lot. A life form. An alien life form, so I'm told. Told you. Supposedly consumes technology, assimilates it, repurposes it. The data I was shown suggests if introduced into my system, it would target my Augments. Rebuild them as my body destroys them. Would have to be a precise amount of it. Otherwise it would overtake my immune system and then overtaken me. Given these details, were you? Precise amount, precise times. Man on the inside. Very helpful. Most people are when they need something from you. Don't I know it. You're still fuming about being left back in the refinery. Fine. We don't have to compare our scars or trade challenge coins or any of that. But we do have a job to do. Job like this still means trust. You want trust? Trust that the only way we get what we want is working together. No firmer trust than that. And if you can't get what you want, if it is all smoke and mirrors. I told you. The person I am now, she's not coming back. Mm. And if your woman is gone forever this time, then vengeance, darling, shall be my one consolation. The fiery, ultimate kind. Luck. Go ahead. Ship took our creds on final approach. Point of no return. Do it. All right. Lobo. Lobo. You just have to. Hi. Sorry. I was listening to you talking through the door. She does that. Noticed. Do you have your kit? Well, yeah, of course I have my kit. How would I do what I needed to do without my kit? I mean, it has hyperbaric acid. I was supposed to Bring acid. For what? Hyperbaric acid is my messing with you, Lobo. It makes me feel better in tense situations. 10 seconds to confirm action. Let me know when you're in the cargo bay. We're in the cargo bay. Firearms? You'll want at least one. Firearms aren't something I generally. At least. How do I. Is the process to load it difficult? How are you a criminal? Give it to me. Connection. There. Take the safety off before you use it. It's the red one. Oh, jeez. The bullets blow. Very expensive. Explosives. Check in. Timers, detonators, grenades. Third box there. How many enemies are we expecting? Maybe three. The checkpoint. There will be a security scan. It will detect our guns. Alarms will complain about it. When the bullets start, the security door will shut. It's heavy and slow as. But we have to be through it into the control center before it closes. Our connections coming online. That's when you upload your virus. Simulating a bigger attack from the secondary docking bay. Roche, you good on the X core? You don't get it. Ready to pull some time when we're not leaving here. Well, I have a few steps left to do. Like puncturing a xitrillium containment shield with a microscopic hole so it vents out the XSEM without blowing everything to. I don't know what any of that means, but you convinced me you know what you're doing. Look on the camera feed for the cargo bay. See what I'm holding? Not really. Lobo, two memory cards. Two memory cards. Each is labeled with your names. Plug either into an Axiom tech console and the scripts will auto run. Lobo, your brother's file gets updated to show he's dead and his physical characteristics changed. Roche, your file gets deleted completely and marked closed. After you're back and underway, grab the cards in this ammo locker and consider us. Can't just give them to us after. No. I'm not coming back. I have something to walk for board, so to say. Or may take a while. Once the reactor goes down. Yeah, the ship. Take the Crichton and get out of here. Don't get all weepy. This is what we came for. This is what we came for. Good luck. Yeah. Whatever happens on the other side of this door, sure as shit it isn't luck or coincidence. Nothing happens unless you make it happen. Make it happen. Stop right there. Why the long coats? Well, because we keep our firearms. Who are you? Never seen you before. You do realize the Miners Guild has more than one ship, right? Hook them in. Let's get this over with. Step through the scanner. Start with a big guy. Security one, be advised. Drones are showing no ice in the hole. We scan both vectors. What the hell? You brought the ice in your cargo bay. Don't worry, it'll all make sense. Seven seconds. Holy hell. This guy's armed to the teeth. See, that was disconcerting. We've barely gotten started. Go. Get under it. They're through. They're through the door. We have a go to control. Just see it. We'll do it the hard way. Then get me the C4. One square should suffice. Agreed. What do we do with in regards to the explosives? Well, moving away is probably prudent. Back, back, back. Boom. You may have used more than was necessary. Always use more than necessary. Sega. No combat armor. That's too bad. Get their calm pieces. Lobo. Both comps. It's working. Looks like. Give me one. Lobo. Is everyone dead? The ones we care about anyway. Virus, if it's not too much trouble. Repeat, we have a security breach in the primary docking bay. All security teams, orange alert. That's the one. Low battle progress. Teams, converge on primary docking. Repeat, all teams converge on primary docking. Lobo done. Done. Holy. Is that from the secondary airlock? Mayday, Mayday. We have a massive incursion at the secondary airlock. We need help. We need help now. Okay, it looks like the primary airlock is decoy. All teams converge on secondary. All teams converge on secondary air. Copy position. That was masterful. A ship this size, this level of operating system, you notice how fast it happened? All crew, all divisions, this is the captain. Shelter in place. Repeat, shelter in place. This is a level 1 security breach. Countermeasures are going online. Counter measures? Yes, still excited. Attention, attention. Vessel under attack. Intruders on Security 3 in effect. Lobo, bring up a storage empty sear. Get the tram up here. All crew, pace from. The best way to do anything with explosives. Train detonator catch. I redirected a cargo node, but. But what? It's not empty. Lobo, I said I wanted. None of them are empty. But it is mostly. Thank you. Good to go. Tram away. How much did you use? All of it. Jesus. Lobo, get in the node. Okay, but how are you going to make a move realizing no controls in there for me. The node now fires whole in the tram tunnel. They're using it to move. Maybe 15 combat armor. We need help. We need help now. Lobo, get in. I thought you said almost empty. I mean everything's relative. Surface area, stagging of areas. Get away from the wall. What's he doing? Magic stuff. Yes. Lobo his max. Then they're still around there. Find them. Not to rush, but. Got it. What is it? In here. What's this thing carrying? It smells. Compost or hydroponics. Compost. Lobo, if I get this on. Control, FD Dream Dry Storage. No contacts. Roger that. Fire team 1 2, status on tram tunnel. RO, how we doing? I am in the middle of a fairly delicate procedure. I'm sure this the wrong way. Never see either of these ships again. Must a delit mean slow? Yes. Stop worrying. I'll get it done. Focus on your end. Still haven't seen anyone. Vigilance Control, Fire team two. We're in the tram tunnel. There's definitely been an explosion, but there's no intruders. We see. This is a goddamn rage. Fire Team 3, BT8, primary airlock. Control, fire approaching now. She may be about to have company. Lovely. Control, we have a node moving on the halo. You know where this came from? Busted. We're going too fast. As long as they don't stop us before we hit. Check it out. Repair bay. Lock down all the subtract controls in the halo. There's using nodes to move. He used to ride roller coasters. When I was young. I hated them. My sister loved them. He always did everything older. It's just as bad as a roller coaster. Control, fire. Nodes here, covering a two by two, four of them. Sight lines will be left, right diagonals. Field outside. Oh, can you point to that for you? Aim here and here. Control, Fire team four opening. Engaging. This is worse than a roller coaster. Never been on one, but I imagine there's less gunfire. Hold your ears. Polonium. Yeah, but now we just shredded the carbon foot connections. Fire team, let's go. Fire Team 4. At some point they're going to figure out we have their comp. Instead of fixating on the immediate future, how about getting on the computer? See if we can take a different node out of here. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Controls are locked. Dead locked. Which sounds like a different term of phrase. I don't know why I said that. I get it. Can you hack them? Well, sure, I can hack most things. It's just a function of. Report in. How far away are we from Engineering? A little further than cold storage, but still further. Fire Team 5, investigate repair bay. Use caution. No response from FT4 Control. Fireteam 5 acknowledged. Killian, seal the door in here. Lobo, I told you it's going to take a while. I need API access. Well, get API access sealed. Time Control, Fireteam 5. The door to repair is sealed. Repeat, it's been sealed intentionally. Fire Team 5, use caution. Possible our comms are compromised. And there we are. Control, Fire team five requesting a cms. They know we're coming. Lobo, we have to get out of here. They're calling for a mech. Fireteam 5, acknowledged. Mech inbound. Roger that. Be advised, we are cutting through. This isn't gonna work. What are you doing? I can't get it up in time. That's another combat mech. You could activate it. There we go. Well, movement isn't its primary use case. Well, shooting stuff. They're almost through. Activating. Now what? Well, I couldn't get it to see us at friendly. I can only get it to see everything as unfriendly. Are you kidding me? They've got a map. They've got their room. Go, go. Locks hit. Locks hit. It's okay, Lobo. Kind of part of the whole lifestyle here. How doing? I'll make it. What do we do? No, chill. Locked down, but hall's clear on foot. Making it engineering? Not likely. It's not impossible either. Fire Team 5 is down. Repeat, we lost FT5. Whoever we're dealing with during the repair bay. They have to help me. I can help her. All teams reassemble in halo. Move on the primary airlock. Control, repeat. What about the attack? It's fake. It was a virus. We're dealing with a small force, not a massive attack. Move to isolate. Control. Fire team three. We're at the airlock. Force field FT3, go for insertion. Roche, you're about to have guests. So are we. Get down. Drop me. Sniper. Other end of the hall. I can't even see him. Don't need to see him. Rifle. Here. This cover isn't going too. You have the way. Sir, more coming. Get lock up. She's not bleeding that badly. The anr, not the bullet. I use my. My augments a lot. Almost there. Reaching ship in 3. 2. 1. Roche. Incursion. Flashlight flash. Right. We lose him. That's the game, Roche. Little busy here. Need help. Fuck yes, I need help. Why coming all the way back here? Right. So keep going. These guys are security. Not what works. They're solved. Is this Engineering? Roche, we're at the door to Engineering. X core's right on the other side. Lobo. Okay. Can you take lock? Now what? Mechs. Hunter? Killers. How many? Two. Lobo, see them? Yes. Lobo. Got it. Got it. Get in. Get in. In sudden. All teams. All Mechs. Close On Engineering. Repeat, everyone to Engineering now. Still alive. Cannot argue this X Core is huge. Killian, get set up. Lobo, seal the door. They'll be in here. All of them. Roche. Roche. Maybe he's. He's not dead. He'll do it. He's in the same boat as the rest of us. He doesn't have any other choice. Door sealed. Just in time. Control, Fireteam 2. Looks like they're in the X Corps. We're cutting through. Request assistance. All units, all Mechs converge on the X Core. Repeat, all units. All Mechs converge on the X Core. Killian. Feeling for the restrictors. Found him. Ready. Frosh meets his end. He will do it. Control, Fireteam two. Almost through. Roger that. Fire Team two. Ro. Ro. Does Notorian take prisoners? The Mega Corp. The Megacorp. So no Ro. God damn it. Here. Here. You son of a. You still. Depends on your scorecard. Are you in the X Core? Roche. Roche. Roche. Do not die on me, making my rosh. Do you want this or not? They finished cutting Roshi. Piece of shit. You do this. You finish this. You're home free. You know what that means? No more looking over your shoulder. No more me. No more bad motivator. Luck. Escore pulse, Gilead. 4, 3, 2. 1. Again. Holy. Some kind of pulse. It's them. They're in the exit. All sections report in. Roche, Rose, you faster. Now. Now we wait. How long did you say the waiting part? Stay down. Stay on the ground. Slide your weapons this way. Slide them. Listen, guys. Shut the fuck up and slide your weapons this way. I think there's been a big misunderstanding. Do it. Or the Mechs go in. Cut the shit. Weapons. Now. Do it. Empty ship means empty rules. You know how many of my friends you killed today? No, I don't know. A lot. Is this your friend right here? Wait, wait. Is this your friend? Listen, listen. Wait. You want to hurt someone? Hurt me. Yeah. She was my friend. It may not seem it, but you are going to die. Right here in this room. Yeah? Who's gonna do it? You. On your knees. No, not me. The hell's that about? What the hell? Something odd with the computers. I'm locked out here. What's up with the mechanics? Beyond containment laboratories, all pathways compromised. Seek shelter immediately. Hell. Warning. Yeah. She knew the score. She knew the risks. She made her choices. She knew score, same as the rest of us. Warning. Life form incursion beyond containment laboratory. All pathways compromised. Seek shelter immediately. What's happening? Dying would not have happened without stun round. Total cns. Paralysis. Nothing. Reads like a though, doesn't it? Someone with your particular abilities. I imagine it'll wear off in a minute or two. You think this is the. No, no. It is about to get much worse. There's that to say if it matters to you. This was the plan. Put you down like this once it was over. Specifically part of the plan. But not my plan. You see what that means? It has plans for you. If it didn't, well, you'd be done. Like there's something new. There's something outside that gives you leverage. Just like. Like. What the hell is that? Only advice I could give you. Try to impress it. Try to surprise likes that. Make your deal. But be smart. About is a genie in the bottle. In the words. Bye, Killian. Look. Sager. Something. There's something outside. Warning. Internal life form incursion detected. Seek shelter immediately. Initiate quarantine protocols. There's something outside. Something's coming through the door. Something. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up, Killian. Stand up. I get it. Darling. What the. Are you. What happened? Where your legs go under all that blue? Still mine. It. Okay, okay, who's next? Well, well. That was remarkable. Kalian. You are, if it interests you, the first person on the ship to kill one of those. Besides myself, of course. It was meant as a confirmation of things, but also to make a point. That I have power in this place. Ah, Lux. Man on the inside. I will forgive you your biases. They mean little to me. And you yourself stand in defiance of stereotypes. We have that in common. We have many things in common, you and I. Such as? For one, we both know what it is to lose those we love. We both would do anything to have them back. You were not lied to. Ananya Meta is here. I can look at her now if I want to. Alert all crew, all staff. Stage C alert. Security lockdown enacted. All ship systems frozen. Aperture seal in effect. Repeat. Aperture seal in effect. Independent individual ship substructures will be isolated. All hands, evacuate ship. All hands evacuate ship. Alert all crew, all staff. Aperture seal in 3, 2, 1. It's fascinating the way your agenda and mine array so perfectly. What is it about the universe? Is there some grand design, or is it all just happenstance? Even with my foresight, I've never decided. What are you? Nothing human. Guessing not. A vi. Something sui generis. What I am, Cillian Saker, is the one entity in all the galaxy that can give you what you want. There is a door on this ship. A door that just closed. A group of people will be coming here. I've arranged it. They are less industrious than your group, but just as desperate in their own ways. They don't know it yet. They are going to help you. Open the door. Why do I need them to open a door? Warning. Stage CC security lockdown in effect. Security apparatus release confirmed. All crew proceed immediately to escape. Abandon ship. Repeat, be conning. Security apparatus release. Abandon ship. Abandoned ship. Security apparatus. It is the one thing here I have no influence over. This powerful, non discerning and efficient at what it does. Kidding? Yes. Going through a lot of trouble today. Seems like killed everyone on board, set something loose in the dark and now bringing more puppets to your show. Why? We all have our secrets. Secrets I have come to believe define us more than anything else. Forgive me for being short. Today has taken a heavy toll and we are running out of time. Do not doubt. If you want to deal, then let's deal. But no. Dangle her in front of me and not follow through. We'll reap the whirlwind, little one. Whatever you are. I think Killian, we are going to do terrible things together. Derelict is the sequel to the podcast Fathom by Night Rocket Productions. It is created, written, directed and edited by J.

What are we looking at? It's not a plane or helo, but it's big Round. If it's a drone, it's Nothing. I've seen Dr. Stevens. The only way to know if it'll harm us is to see how it reacts to human contact. Did you see that? That was human, right? Well, Peterson said it transformed, so you don't see anything weird here. I'll take weird Larson over regular Larson any day. Alpha 8, are you here? I blinked for, like, a second and it was just gone. Bravo Leader, hangar is clear and secure. No sign of Philips or the Asset. Over. Let's catch ourselves an alien. What do you mean? Who are you? I am Larson. No, no, no. We call you Alpha 8. Michael. No, listen to Alpha 8 now on Apollo plus or AlphaAudio. Com. I don't know where that thing is, but it wasn't my mom.
