Transcript
00:00I'm going to go to the next episode of the episode of the W.S.
00:30I'm sorry.
01:00I don't know.
01:30I don't know.
02:00I don't know.
02:30I don't know.
03:00I don't know.
03:29I don't know.
03:59I don't know.
04:29I don't know.
04:59I don't know.
05:29I don't know.
05:59It's not the Geth.
06:00It's the energy field they put up.
06:02They don't want anyone else getting access to the...
06:05I'm here for the Geth.
06:07It's very important I find out what they're after.
06:09I don't know.
06:10I don't know for certain, but I'm guessing they're here for the Thorian.
06:13Thorian?
06:15What is that exactly?
06:17It's an indigenous life form.
06:20Exogeny was studying it.
06:22What else can you tell me?
06:23Do you know where I can find this Thorian?
06:25I might be able to, but I might be able to, but not with those Geth crawling around everywhere.
06:30Look, we need to get out of here, past that field.
06:33Do you know how we can shut it down?
06:34Do you know how we can shut it down?
06:37No, not exactly.
06:39But I think the Geth ship is powering it.
06:41I've noticed the Geth laying power cables everywhere.
06:44You could follow those cables, but there's Geth all over the place.
06:47Tell me about yourself.
06:51I'm just a research assistant for Exogeny.
06:54I came here with my mother.
06:56I don't even know if she made it out alive.
06:59She's with some others from the colony.
07:01She's safe for now.
07:03She's alive?
07:05Oh, thank God.
07:06I thought I was the only one left.
07:09Please, Commander, just get that field down so I can see my mother again.
07:13Tell me what you know about the Thorian.
07:18I really don't know that much about it.
07:20I think it's some kind of plant being.
07:22I know it's very old.
07:24Thousands of years, even.
07:30Why do you think the Geth would be interested in the Thorian?
07:34It's just a plant.
07:35I don't know why the Geth would care.
07:37Exogeny was studying it, but I don't think they found anything special.
07:43You stay put.
07:46I'll go open some doors.
07:48Here, take my ID.
07:50This should get you past any locked doors.
07:52Good luck with that field.
08:13That's it.
08:15Bag him and tag him.
08:16That's it.
08:16Bag him and tag him.
08:43Stupid machine.
09:09Access encrypted files.
09:10No, I don't want to review protocol.
09:20I am unable to comply.
09:22Please contact your supervisor.
09:24Dammit!
09:25Tell me what I want or I'll blast your virtual ass into actual dust.
09:30Please contact your supervisor for a level 4 security exemption.
09:34Or make an appointment with...
09:35Stupid machine!
09:37If there is nothing else, please step aside.
09:40There is a queue forming behind you for the use of this console.
09:42Exogeny Corporation reminds all staff that the discharging of weapons while on company property is strictly forbidden.
10:08Welcome back, research assistant Elizabeth Bainham.
10:11What can I do for you?
10:15Uh, how do you know I'm Lizbeth?
10:18Your access card identifies you as Elizabeth Bainham.
10:21Is there something you require, Dr. Bainham?
10:24What information was the last user attempting to access?
10:26Fetching data, the previous user was attempting to access details on the study of Subject Species 37, the Thorian.
10:36Tell me everything you told the Crovan.
10:38I was unable to provide the previous user with any relevant data.
10:44Aside from lacking proper access, there has been no new data available on Species 37.
10:49All sensors monitoring the observation post at Zoo's Hope have been inactive for several cycles.
10:55What does Zoo's Hope have to do with the Thorian?
10:58Species 37 is located within the substructure of the Zoo's Hope outpost.
11:02Tell me everything you know about the Thorian.
11:08The Thorian is a simple plant life form that exhibits a sentient behavior uncommon with other flora.
11:14Through dispersion and the eventual inhalation of spores, it can affect and control other organisms, including humans.
11:21The Zoo's Hope control group has yielded interesting results.
11:24Before sensors went offline, almost 85% of all test subjects were infected.
11:29Are you saying Exogeny knew its people were getting infected?
11:35It was deemed necessary to assess the true potential of Species 37.
11:39It's no wonder they were behaving so oddly.
11:43We should contact Joker.
11:47Joker.
11:49Come in, Joker.
11:51Damn it, that field's blocking us.
11:53We need to get that field down so we can get out of here and back to Zoo's Hope.
11:56B.I., what can you tell me about the Geth ship and the field it's generating?
12:04I have limited data on the Geth.
12:06They have effectively blocked all sensors within the facility.
12:09I have detected unusual power fluctuations, but am unable to determine the source.
12:14What do you know about the Geth?
12:20I have no specifics on the Geth as they relate to this facility.
12:24All sensors have been purposely decommissioned since their arrival.
12:27I want to know about Exogeny Corporation.
12:34Exogeny Corporation is at the forefront of human expansion in the new galactic economy,
12:39funding colonial development and securing resource rights to ensure our progress as a species.
12:45Further inquiries regarding company policy may be directed to consumer information services during regular business hours.
12:51Who's in charge here? Who organized the research?
12:56All decisions about local resource analysis and acquisition are made by on-site management deferring to the board of directors
13:03only when seasonal quotas are missed or exceeded.
13:08Individual employee records are confidential.
13:11Tell me about the Thorian.
13:15Species 37 was discovered several weeks ago when a small team was infected with spores while examining ruins near the zoo's Hope outpost.
13:23The outpost was quarantined immediately and study of the infection began.
13:28Within 21 days, 58% of colonists exhibited altered behavior.
13:33Within 28 days, 85%.
13:35What's the size of this thing?
13:39The Thorian appears to be a diffused creature.
13:42Its cognitive abilities are centered in large nerve bundles,
13:46but it received data from kilometers of meandering tendrils.
13:49We have discovered bundles approximately one meter in diameter,
13:53but these seem insufficient to coordinate the massive sensory potential it possesses.
13:58It may simply process such stimulation slowly,
14:01or perhaps there is a nerve cluster of a greater magnitude we have not yet encountered.
14:07Is it intelligent? Can I reason with it?
14:09The Thorian does not exhibit the focused behavior of a predator.
14:13The release of spores is an act of survival, not aggression.
14:17It does trigger advanced behaviors in the humans it enslaves,
14:21but we have yet to discover whether it recognizes or is capable of recognizing humans as more than tools.
14:27It is sufficiently alien as to defy classification at this time.
14:33Where's the center of this thing?
14:35The Thorian is present as a weave of tendrils across much of the lower surface of ferrous.
14:41Observation of enslaved subjects suggests there may be key clusters that are tended by thralls.
14:47Unfortunately, direct observation of species 37 is limited, or non-existent.
14:55Do you know how the creature controls its slaves?
14:57The will subversion manifests as intense pain if directives are ignored.
15:01The effect is severe enough that subjects are soon conditioned against even minor thoughts of rebellion.
15:08Observation suggests the Thorian views its thralls in a utilitarian way.
15:12Care is apparently taken to avoid injuring them, much as a craftsman avoids damaging his tools.
15:18As long as no action is taken against the creature's objectives,
15:21the subjects are free to pantomime a normal existence until specifically tasked with something.
15:26Please access my personal files.
15:35Elizabeth Bainham, Research Assistant, Biomedical Division, Security Level 4 Exemption.
15:40You are currently under probation due to disagreements with management over established company policy.
15:46These sanctions may be lifted if your next evaluation is more agreeable.
15:52What triggered the probation?
15:54You were marked as combative about the operations of the zoo's hope project,
15:58specifically regarding the handling of the infected colonists.
16:02As a result, you were tasked with monitoring the safety of the colonists for the duration of the observation.
16:10That's enough for now.
16:12Going to standby mode.

16:38The Geth used these claws to anchor their ships to the side of buildings.
17:08The Geth certainly aren't so. How do we cut the power if it's coming from the ship?
17:13It will be difficult. We can check the other claws for weaknesses, but the Geth are very thorough.
17:20What is this place? Almost looks like the Geth built themselves some kind of church.
17:38The Geth blur the line between organic and synthetic life. It's natural to assume they seek understanding from a higher power.
