Kill Switch (Redivider) (Kill Switch)

He is looking better already.

Maybe.

Still hasn't said a word.

It's gonna take time.

They've got 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.

...the world awaiting 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 15.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six...

Thanks for being here.

Are you kidding?

...two...

Oh, it's okay.

What's it doing?

It's working.

Okay, okay.

Ooh, shit.

Ah, I'm exiting the lab.

Oh, ah.

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.

The 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 of...

Wait, back up. What'd you say about the box?

I said they destroyed the box.

Destroy it? How? Who's "they"?

They shot the place up, Will. 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 the 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 honor, sir.

You know, I was researching at NASA

when you introduced duplicate matter theory.

That was the finding of the decade, sir.

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.

Thank you. Sorry, what's 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 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... I am not interested, thank you.

You haven't heard our offer.

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 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?

Well, for that, I'm gonna 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 is still loading, currently at 57%.

Answer on gravitational stability forthcoming.

Eight kilometers from the tower.

ETA, just over an hour.

What the fuck is going on, man?

Oh, my God. Just get out of here.

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

You can get out of here and go home, okay?

Oh, crap.

Oh, my God. What the hell is going on?

It was them. There was a lot of shouting.

A lot of confusion.

And then they just starting shooting!

At first, it looked like they were shooting,

and they were going after Alterplex guys,

but I saw a woman hit just getting 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
