00:00This is humiliating.
00:05Push you. Spare parts can't talk.
00:08ARC ID confirmed. Designation, Maeve.
00:11Role, Lead Geotechnical Engineer. Access granted for work duration of 19 minutes, 54 seconds.
00:18This'll be our ticket out. Screw ARC and their soul-sucking grind.
00:22We have to find the right mining claim first. There are 672 for sale today.
00:28Grandad only told us pieces, but with the help of a genius AI drone.
00:33With truly majestic information processing capabilities.
00:37We can use ARC's secret mining data to identify which one was Grandad's old claim.
00:42Just need to connect Trudy's broken refining manager to a yield arbiter.
00:50Without triggering security.
00:53Okay, Roland. You're up. Or should I say, in.
00:57You know I can float, right?
01:00And if you did, ARC would immediately detect your anti-grav drive.
01:04System accessed. Correlating refining and yield data with your Grandad's stories. No results.
01:11Dammit.
01:12Hey, Maeve. Are those thermocouplers realigned yet?
01:16That refining manager is scheduled to restart in 41 seconds. And any loss of output will be deducted from your pay.
01:23Or pay.
01:24Done soon, Trudy.
01:2632 trillion credits in minerals a year. Hmm. But they'll cut our maintenance fees any chance, eh?
01:32Oh, 672, Roland. We need to track it down faster. He, uh, talked about a, uh, Specularis, um, something.
01:41Searching. No match.
01:43Oh, what are we looking for, Grandad?
01:46Maeve, we're almost out of-
01:48There was a, uh, Kappa? Oh, what was it? Um, module. Kappa module.
01:53Searching. Claim packet cosine. Kappa AZ1.
01:59Hey, you okay?
02:02What? Uh, yeah. Why?
02:04You just-
02:05Uh, no time. Claim ID is AZ1.
02:08Phew. Let's take a look.
02:12Last occupant 35 years ago. Middle of nowhere. Estimated yield value is low.
02:21You'll need a loan, even with all your savings. Not going to be much left for supplies. Hope you like cactus juice.
02:29Worth it to be free of these parasites. Middle of nowhere is just a bonus. Lots of privacy, so we can track down whatever the Kappa module is.
02:41Maeve, I have rated your performance as sufficient but requires improvement. If you are done, your next assignment is-
02:47Done? Oh, yeah. I'm definitely done.
02:51They tell you if you work hard and keep your head down, anyone can make a life working here.
02:56It's not really life, though. Not after they are done with you.
03:00Tired and empty and dead inside. I'm not gonna let it happen to me.
03:05No more scraps while they feast.
03:08Fine Grandad's old claim cost everything I had, but at least now, everything I do, I do for me.
03:15And Roland. I just hope whatever he wanted us to find under Aegis is worth it.
03:21Thanks so much for watching!
03:26with me.
03:30With me, please enjoy the time to see you.
03:36Thanks.
03:39Wait.
03:40Ann leche.
03:42Yes it is so much for breakfast.
