How are we looking?
Uploading is on schedule,
and all ships
are present and accounted for,
except one the Demeter 227.
- What happened?
- Uh, I'm not sure.
Apparently they re-routed,
and then poof, disappeared.
Any word from the crew?
- No.
- Damn. That's unfortunate.
Yeah, it's terrible.
Um, what should we do?
I'll inform the bosses, but I
doubt they'll sink any resources
into trying to find them.
But what if there are survivors?
Well, for their sake,
let's hope there aren't any.

I'm sorry.
I can't even think straight.
Listen, Sam.
We have no other choice
than to get
the battery in pod five. Okay?
So if we leave now, we can get
there by the early morning.
I'll get the bags.

Hmm?
- Levi, can you come here please?
- No problem.
- Why did you bury my wrench?
- I'm not sure.
I know I've been having
some malfunctions lately.
But I was just curious
what would happen if I did.
Open your maintenance hatch.
Ugh.
You sure this goo is helping?
Absolutely.
This biological material seems to have
a complementary
composition to my circuitry,
- which is allowing me to reconnect
- All right. Stop.
Close the hatch and face me please.
Tell me again, Levi.
What are we doing here?
Our goal is to create
a sustainable life
where we can survive and thrive
until our return home.
And what's the first thing
I'm going to do when I get back?
- You're going to quit this job.
- And then what?
You're going to trade me in
for a new bike.
A bike that won't bury my tools.
Right. Well, your memory
isn't completely shot,
but I can't have any
of this bizarre behavior,
Levi, not out here.
I need you to schedule
a full diagnostic
on your logic and behavior
system tonight, okay?
- Diagnostics check confirmed. Azi.
- Yes?
I don't mean to alarm you,
but my sensors are
picking up increased activity
in the outer perimeter.
Yeah, I know.
Hang back this time.
I'll take the bike out.

The area is clear for now.
But I've noticed their behavior
has been more aggressive lately.
Levi, can you lower
your threat settings
for automatic emergency response?
Sure,
but I would advise against it.
If you're referring
to what happened earlier,
my intuition told me
that you were in danger
and in need
of additional assistance.
Well, I wasn't,
and we wasted another flare.
Oh.
Sorry about that, Azi.
Lowering my
threat response now.
