00:00I don't know.
00:30I don't know.
01:00I don't know.
01:30Loose contaminants in the decontamination chamber.
01:34Access to passenger tramways inadvisable.
01:44They're locked in.
01:45The door could be...
01:49Control group, loosen the path.
02:13They're in...
02:15We can't escape.
02:17We've got the tunnels now.
02:19We're sorry.
02:20The leads couldn't get to the...
02:21Strzok.
02:22Without why you can.
02:23He killed himself because he was part of whatever happened here?
02:27He must have felt there was no hope of surviving.
02:30That killing himself would be easier.
02:43I don't see him.
03:01I can't do anything.
03:03Let's go.
03:33Departing Central Station. Destination, Rift Station.
03:58Now arriving at Rift Station, Binary Helix Research Facility.
04:03Destination, Rift Station, Binary Helix Research Facility.
04:33Destination, Rift Station, Binary Helix Research Facility.
04:40Destination, Rift Station, Binary Helix Research Facility.
04:57Stand down.
05:00Sorry, we couldn't be sure what was on the tram.
05:03Can those things work a train's controls?
05:06Hell if I know. I'm not assuming any goddamn thing.
05:09Look, you're human and that's enough that I won't shoot, but I'd like to know who you are.
05:13My name is Shepard. I'm a Spectre.
05:16Huh. I won't look a heavily armed horse in the mouth.
05:20The aliens overran the hot labs last week.
05:23Only Han Olar got out, and he ain't all there anymore.
05:26At first, we knew the bastards were clawing into my command post.
05:30We had a lot more staff then.
05:33You were taken by surprise and had civilians to protect.
05:35You did a good job, Captain.
05:37Yeah? Sure as hell doesn't feel like it.
05:40The board sent an Asari to clean up the mess.
05:43She went to the hot labs yesterday, and we haven't heard from her since.
05:47Venezia. Is she still over there?
05:50I don't know. I don't see what one person could do.
05:52A matriarch has the skill to keep herself alive for a long time.
05:56There's an emergency elevator out by the trams.
05:59This card will let you activate it.
06:01It can take you down to the hot labs.
06:03Oh, and if you need any first aid, Dr. Cohen's downstairs in the med bay.
06:07Tell me about Rift Station.
06:09I can't talk about everything. What do you need to know?
06:12Tell me about the defenses here.
06:14Secure enough that you shouldn't poke in corners.
06:16I was just impressed with your operation.
06:19Being able to weather a week of assaults is no mean feat.
06:23Only the best get assigned to high-security facilities like this.
06:26What impresses me most is the turrets, alarms, and cameras.
06:29They're all routed through a central location out by the quarantine labs.
06:32One guy can lock down the whole facility.
06:34The security hub's the last logical fallback, and we'd have cover from the turrets all the way.
06:40What kind of research is done here?
06:43Beats me. I'm not supposed to know.
06:45So long as people don't start dying, it's not my problem.
06:47What can you tell me about the aliens?
06:52Ask Dr. Olar. He's the only one who made it out of the hot labs.
06:55He's the only volus left in here.
06:58I need to know more about the situation in the hot labs.
07:01The facility's off the network.
07:03The only way to find out would be to send scouts down the elevator,
07:06and I won't send my people to their death.
07:10Did the aliens come from inside the facility, or did they attack from outside?
07:14You want my personal opinion?
07:15Labs like that exist to do stupid crap that gets people killed.
07:21Tell me about the structure of the hot labs.
07:24It's built into one of the glaciers further down the mountain.
07:26Real old, thick, stable one.
07:28Something goes wrong, they heat it up and sink it into the ice.
07:31Normally, the crew gets to the labs using a tram from Central Station.
07:34Got an elevator that connects directly, but it's for emergency use only.
07:39Uh, listen.
07:40I'm not sending my people down there.
07:43It's too dangerous.
07:44You understand?
07:45How are your people holding up?
07:49We weren't expecting the initial wave.
07:51They made it inside.
07:53We lost some good people.
07:55Those of us left are shorthanded.
07:57We've kept order by long shifts and stems.
07:59I don't like it, but I don't see an alternative.
08:03You're certain the matriarch is still in the hot labs?
08:05She hasn't come back here.
08:07You came through Central Station, so she ain't there.
08:10I've got work to do.
08:12Yeah, I hear that.
08:16Help!
08:17Man the perimeter!
08:17Thanks for the help.
08:36Every few hours, a group comes up the tram tunnel.
08:40It's actually better since we locked down the elevator.
08:44I'll do whatever I can.
08:46I don't know why they keep drawing themselves against our defenses.
08:49Even animals should learn not to stick their noses where it hurts.
08:51I don't know why they keep drawing themselves against us.
09:22I don't know why they keep drawing themselves between us.
09:23There's a big а!.
09:24You don't.
09:24There's a big clue.
09:24There's a big?!?
09:25I'm gonna work.
09:25I won't do this.
09:28A 아니라 write.
09:29A quiet little punk would do this.
09:31No?
09:31No?
09:36No?
09:38No?
09:42You're not sounding lame.
09:43It's just a bit like, say you're the only Hacker결el.
09:44No?
09:45How will it go?
09:49What should I like eat?
09:51Okay, this one I'll get you.
10:10How can you tell jokes?
10:12So this hydrogen atom says to another hydrogen, I lost my electron.
10:17I heard this one.
10:19And the other hydrogen says,
10:23Ma'am, are you sure?
10:26I'm positive.
10:30Gotta keep the mood light.
10:32I mean, if you don't laugh, you'll...
10:34Yeah, you just have to.
10:49You came to find out about them, didn't you?
11:03You mean those things out there?
11:05Yes.
11:06I'm the only survivor from the hot lab, you know?
11:10I need to know more about those things out there.
11:14About the Rachni?
11:16Rachni?
11:17That's preposterous.
11:19Where did they come from?
11:21They found it in a derelict ship.
11:24An egg.
11:26They're waiting since the last battles.
11:28They brought it here.
11:29Shut up!
11:33God, you want to get us killed?
11:36I don't have any control over who lives or dies here.
11:41Do you?
11:43If you're gonna be crazy, be the quiet kind.
11:48Crazy?
11:49I'm sane.
11:51God, am I sane.
11:56I heard you were at the hot labs.
11:58How did you make it out alive?
12:00I killed her.
12:03Who?
12:05Dr. Zanua.
12:07We were going to lunch when the alarms went off.
12:12I ran into the tram, and I closed the doors.
12:16She banged on the window once, then they sliced her to pieces.
12:22Her head came apart like a melon.
12:25I closed the door.
12:27I killed her.
12:30Tell me what you know.
12:32I'll make your survival mean something.
12:34You think I want absolution?
12:37There is none.
12:40Could Matriarch Menezia survive in the hot labs?
12:43It's possible that the specimens were sensitive to biotics.
12:51I'll be leaving now.
12:54Yeah.
13:01You're not part of the crew.
13:03Call me Shepard.
13:04I'm a specter, sent by the Citadel.
13:06There aren't any human specters.
13:09Look, Plague doesn't care who you are.
13:11This lab is under quarantine.
13:13Call me.
13:20Let's go.
13:22Um.
13:29Slow down.
13:36Slow down.
13:36Slow down.
13:37Slow down.
13:37Let's go.
14:07Let's go.
14:23What?
14:25You're a member of the science teams?
14:28Recently transferred, yes.
14:31What do you do here?
14:33Molecular genetics. I specialize in biotic-enhanced allele-specific hybridization.
14:38That's a bit technical for me.
14:41I am very good at tracking inherited variations in genetic sequences. I'm sure you would find it quite dull.
14:49You seem less upset at this situation than the others.
14:55That is one of the virtues of the meditation you interrupted.
15:00Tell me about yourself.
15:02I am a Lestiai Alice from the University of Oreos. Is there anything in particular you want to know or should I just spout random facts?
15:10Did I interrupt something?
15:12I was meditating. I suppose to a species as brash as yours it would appear to be inattention.
15:18Do you know Matriarch Venezia?
15:23Why ask me and not your friend?
15:27Because I do not know anything about the Matriarch.
15:31Then why would I?
15:33That's all for now.
15:35That's all for now.
15:36Then I will return to my meditations.
15:40Uncertain. I welcome you. Cautiously, I am curious to know what you're doing here.
15:52I heard there were some problems up here.
15:55Vertively, I am concerned about the state of our guards. Many have been awake for days. For now, with forced cheer, I still have a limited supply of equipment to sell.
16:12Let's have a look.
16:13Regretfully, most of my stock is being appropriated by Captain Ventralis.
16:22Until then, I do not know this for him.
16:28That is the use of the
16:46Got a smoke? We're all out.
17:16I know you'd have a cure by now.
17:41What? What do you want?
17:42I didn't mean to bother you.
17:44No, you did nothing wrong. I'm just distracted.
17:48What happened to these people?
17:50They're suffering from a toxin. It was an accident. I have a non-disclosure agreement. I shouldn't discuss it with anyone outside of the company.
17:58But you're going to, because I might be able to help.
18:01I'd like to think that the company finds our lives more valuable than their secrets. You know Mira, the VI for Peak 15? She handles the safety protocols for our experiments here.
18:11We reactivated her on our way through Central Station.
18:15That was you? I'm grateful. Until she came online, the automatic equipment wouldn't work. We lost the connection to Mira in the middle of an experiment and the quarantine failed. These three were exposed to a toxin, something we were working on.
18:29I understand your caution, but I need details. What you say won't go beyond these walls.
18:34It's a bioweapon. Based on an exotic life form discovered on the frontier. They wanted something that could kill the creature. But there was no profit in something that kills one species on the frontier. We kept working on it and adapted it to affect more species.
18:49Thoros B is highly infectious, but can't pass from one person to another. Like a biowar attack without a pandemic spread.
18:56It doesn't matter how safe you make it. Biological weapons are illegal.
19:01Militaries. Governments. They'll get this kind of weapon one way or another. And we're trying to limit the damage.
19:08I know you can't see that. Is there a cure, Doctor? A treatment?
19:15Our first priority was getting it working. We were close to synthesizing an antidote when Mira went down.
19:21Our notes and equipment are locked in the quarantine labs. Captain Ventralis doesn't want to risk more contamination.
19:28Is he right to keep people out? No. The toxin has a brief period of viability. After that it breaks down into simple protein chains.
19:36But he won't listen to me. I'll talk to him. Maybe I can convince him to let me try.
19:41I can't ask you to do this officially, but if you can do anything, I'd appreciate it.
19:50How's the science team holding up? Better than Ventralis' guards. They've been on alert since the first attack.
19:57I've been administering stims at their request. But every species needs to sleep. They're getting twitchy. Irrational.
20:05Are you the doctor here? I'm our doctor, but not THE doctor. My specialty is microbiology, not first aid.
20:14We had a medic, Dr. Salah, but he's... We lost him. The automatics can handle basic treatment. Mira runs them.
20:24Talk to you later. I hope you can do something.
20:28We'll do something.
20:39You're welcome.
20:53Something you need?
21:09I've heard about the problems in the quarantine lab. I'd like to recover the toxin cure.
21:14God, I wish we could help those guys. I really do, but we can't risk contamination now.
21:18We're not part of your defense plans. We're consuming extra rations, extra metagel.
21:23Yeah, but you also have extra guns.
21:26All right, you want to gamble with your life, you're not under my command.
21:30I'll have the guard let you in, but he'll lock the door behind you.
21:33He'll run a full scan before I'll let you out. If there are any anomalies, you stay in there.
21:38Those are reasonable precautions.
21:40I'll radio ahead to let the guard know. Good luck.
21:45I've got work to do.
21:47You and me both.
21:53I'll radio ahead.
