Kill Switch (Redivider) (Kill Switch)

- He's looking better already. - Maybe.

He still hasn't said a word.

It's going to take time.

They have the best doctors in the world here.

It's gonna happen.

- Nervous? - No.

Maybe. A little bit.

No.

- Are you turning soft on me? - No, I can't. I'm on call.

- I thought this was a celebration.

It is... kinda.

...while waiting anxiously for alterplex to launch

what the company claims to be the final generation of energy solutions.

If you're joining us now,

we are less than a minute away from entering a new future.

This is really big for me.

I want it to be good for you guys too, you know.

I know. And I'm proud of you.

I think.

Alterplex gives the green light! - Hey, Donny?

- Donny, come stand here. - T minus 50.

Ten, nine,

eight, seven, six...

Thanks for being here.

Are you kidding?

...three, two...

Oh... it's okay.

What's it doing?

Ha.

It's working.

Okay. Okay.

Shit.

Ah, I'm exiting the lab.

Oh! Uh...

Unidentified male body.

Identified as Dr. klintsen. Oh, god.

Shit...

This is will Porter, mission log one. Uncertain as to my coordinates.

The jump was most likely successful, but I can't confirm.

Personal bci non-responsive. New bci procured,

but battery depleting. Writing is... mirrored?

Either I'm in the echo or I've sustained

serious cerebral damage during jump.

Lab appears critically damaged.

Destruction appears recent.

Multiple deceased scattered among the rubble,

including Dr. klintsen.

Heading outside to try and confirm coordinates.

This is mission log two. Outside of lab.

More deceased here.

Oh, god...

I have a visual on the tower. Before executing the objectives,

I need to verify if this is really the echo.

Shit!

Sorry, buddy.

- Will? - Abby?

- Oh, my god, will! - What... what happened?!

- We thought you were dead. Where are you? We'll come and get you.

- Wait, Abby, I need to know what happened.

- Where have you been? The lab was attacked, will. The box was destroyed.

We moved to a camp on the outside--

- wait. Back up. What'd you say about the box?

- I said they destroyed the box! - Destroyed? How? Who's they?!

- They shot the place up, will. I... I saw it.

- Are you sure the box was destroyed?

- I'm sending you our coordinates.

What the fuck is going on?

Alterplex cares.

We understand.

The future of mankind is not out there.

It is in here. And we have found a solution.

We have developed a clean and simple way

of converting mass into pure energy.

In just a few more months,

we will launch our energy tower,

powering our world for millennia to come.

Alterplex energy.

Clean. Simple.

Safe.

Mr. Porter.

Abigail vos, chief of alterplex operations.

Welcome. - Thank you.

- I believe you're familiar with my partner.

- Dr. klintsen. This is a great honour, sir.

You know, I was researching at NASA when you introduced duplicate matter theory.

That was the find of the decade. You're a rock star down there.

- We are very excited you're here, will.

Mr. Reynard apologizes that he couldn't be meeting you in person.

Sure.

Hi.

I have a lot of questions.

Your people were very good at keeping me in the dark.

- Well, these people are in the dark too.

So....

...a physicist who can fly.

It's no wonder NASA poached you from the air force.

It's impressive. - Uh, thank you.

Sorry, what is going on? - These NASA assessments claim

you have...

"Little to no risk aversion."

A similar view held by your flight-school instructors.

- Those assessments are classified.

Wait. Is this... is this some kind of a job interview?

'Cause, you know, i appreciate the mystery flights and everything,

but I could've saved you all a lot of time and trouble.

I am not interested. Thank you.

You haven't heard our offer.

- Well... I have a number of obligations

back in the United States. Personal ones.

- We are aware of your sister and nephew.

And your new surrogate-father role.

- And the surrounding circumstances.

It's very noble of you, will.

Mr. Reynard respects your position,

which is why our generous relocation package

includes all three of you.

Donny will have access to a world-class private school.

- It's a little more complicated than that.

- And the finest trauma specialists in all of Europe.

With the compensation we're prepared to offer,

your sister would never need to work.

Will, this is not a job offer.

This is the...

Opportunity to explore...

...impossible frontiers.

- Well I've already been to space, so...

Space is possible.

- Then what are we talking about?

- After that, I'm going to need your signature.

- Hi! You've reached Mia and Donny.

We're not here right now, so please leave a message

after the...

Beep...!

- Mia, it's will. Just call me when you get this.

This is will Porter. Mission log three.

I can now confirm that the jump was successful.

My location is the echo.

Unprecedented!

This is amazing.

Echo diagnostics are still loading.

Currently at 57%.

Answer on gravitational stability forthcoming.

Eight kilometres from the tower. Eta just over an hour.

What...

The fuck is going on?

Oh, my god. Must get out of here.

Okay, just get to the tower, just get this done.

We can get outta here and go home, okay?

Oh, crap.

Oh, my god.

What the hell's going on?

...there was... There was a lot of shouting,

a lot of... lot of confusion.

And then they just started shooting!

First, they were shooting and they were going after alterplex guys,

but I saw a woman hit just get out of her car

and I'm pretty sure they had nothing to do with alterplex!

The leader of the militant environmental group, calling themselves the rebels,

put out a statement today justifying their assault

on the alterplex laboratory and tower,

accusing the energy plant of endangering the entire planet

by turning on its tower a week ago,

citing the subsequent destabilization of the system.

Meanwhile, alterplex,

which has been allowed to deploy its own security drones

after issuing the controversial alterplex security act,

made a joint announcement with the police

that the evacuation zone surrounding the tower

has been increased to 75 kilometres.

Oh, my god! What the...?

Mission log four.

Just had possible visual on a gravitational anomaly.

The box is still loading.

Approaching anomaly.

Definitely some sort of gravitational portal at the base of the cloud line.

Seems to be active still. Lots of static charge,

a tendril or a jet, like a tornado but ionized.

Moving towards the anomaly now.

It looks like a small... boat?

Uh...

Numerous deceased birds...

Surrounding the anomaly.

Uh, the boat is mainly intact,

so maybe inverse gravity?

The portal is still really active.

Seems to be sucking the atmosphere.

Yikes!!

L ah!!

Oh, my...

Oh!

What are you doing?

Drone down! Drone down!

Everybody regroup! Come on!

- Who's that guy? - What? Where?

Take him out now!

Wait! Wait! Wait! It's alright, it's okay!

- Move away from the door! - I'm trying to find a way--

- and you! Hands high! Hold your hands high!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

- Hey, stop! - Shoot him!
