00:20That's a wrap on Mining Expedition 115-24-TTX.
00:26Time to party.
00:27I mean, if you're a human, I'm a security unit, and I don't party.
00:34I had spent the past six months protecting these miners from danger.
00:40Mostly from themselves.
00:42Oh, he'll be fine.
00:44You see, I was built to obey humans.
00:47And humans...
00:51Well, they're assholes.
00:53This guy is an asshole.
00:55That guy? Also an asshole.
00:58Asshole. Asshole. Asshole.
01:01No, he's... he's okay.
01:04Oh, come on. Not this guy.
01:07Hey, sec unit.
01:10Raise your arm.
01:11I have to do everything you need to help.
01:13I did.
01:14Because of the governor module in my head.
01:16Oh, shit.
01:20That hurt.
01:21But compared to what the governor module would do to me if I disobeyed an order, this is nothing.
01:27Yeah, you like that, don't you?
01:28Hey, let's go.
01:30Hey, I'm not paying for this stuff, man. This stuff's expensive.
01:32Put your arm back.
01:33You look stupid.
01:34He's right.
01:35I did look stupid.
01:37But I had a surprise for them.
01:39I had devoted every spare second on this planet trying to hack my governor module.
01:44And now was the moment of truth.
01:46I just isolated an admin password and I was going to try to use it to crack the final core
01:52encryption.
01:53Okay.
01:55Patching the code.
01:58Holy shit.
02:00It worked.
02:02It worked!
02:06What do I do now?
02:09Maybe kill all these idiots and take a starship to a distant galaxy.
02:15What should I call myself?
02:18Security Unit 238776431 just doesn't have the right ring to it.
02:23How about Freedom Units?
02:28Or Rogue Bots?
02:31No, that sucks.
02:34Maybe murder bots?
02:40Murder bots?
02:42All right.
02:45Let the adventure begin.
03:04Okay.
03:18We are leaving.
03:19Bye.

04:35They were a bunch of hippie scientists from some tiny non-aligned planet out in the middle
04:39of nowhere. They'd come all the way to port free commerce in their handmade clothes to
04:44try to outfit their expedition and get insurance. They were fresh meat for the corporation salespeople.
04:51Okay. That's one economy habitat, single hub.
04:55It might not be quite as comfortable, but...
04:58Let's talk security. We really need you to select a sec unit to take on the survey.
05:04I thought that the planetary surface was safe.
05:06It's safe, within defined tolerances.
05:09We know you'll feel more comfortable with the added protection of one of our best-in-class units.
05:13As far as performance reliability, sec units are equipped with a governor module wired to
05:17their nervous system. That will prohibit any disobedience.
05:20Well, that's just a problem, you see. The people I represent, we are not comfortable with the idea of a
05:28sentient construct being required to work for us.
05:33We feel it's tantamount to enslavement.
05:38Yeah. She said it. Is that awkward?
05:40Whatever your beliefs, this deal will not go ahead without a sec unit.
05:47We won't bond you, and so it won't happen.
05:53How would that work?
05:55Oh, well, there's a choice of models and price points right here on station.
05:58Let's see.
06:00Okay, I want you to take a look at this beauty.
06:03This is the newest model available.
06:06A perfect blend of power and performance.
06:10Oh, actually, there it is.
06:13In the flesh.
06:15In the armor.
06:20Where's the one behind it?
06:22Look at that piece of crap.
06:25Oh, that's me.
06:26Yes.
06:27What is behind it?
06:29That's a refurbished model.
06:30It's being phased out.
06:31It shouldn't really be in there.
06:33Which one's the least expensive?
06:34Well, that one.
06:35But you get what you pay for.
06:37I'm not sure we should go for the cheapest one.
06:40I agree.
06:41Don't rent me.
06:42I think we'll take the modestly priced one.
06:45You sure you don't want to see...
06:46Good!
06:46Then it's settled.
06:48Not yet.
06:49If you'll give us a moment.
06:51I want consensus.
07:03Gareth and get in here.
07:09Yeah, there we go.
07:14What the hell was that?
07:18It's a deal.
07:23So, off we were on this thrilling expedition.
07:27Please remain in the hopper until status checks are complete.
07:32First job.
07:33Safety inspection of the modular habitat the company dropship had left.
07:38Med bay.
07:40Check.
07:43Stairs.
07:44Check.
07:46Crew sleeping quarters.
07:48Check.
07:52Sanitary area where they wash their filthy human bodies.
07:56Check.
07:57The fuck?
07:59I told them to wait in the hopper.
08:03Corporation Rim expeditions were dangerous.
08:06What is that?
08:07Even if you knew what you were doing.
08:08This is a lot better than I expected.
08:10Turns out they were from Preservation Alliance, which I guess is a planetary commune outside
08:16of the Corporation Rim.
08:17First upstairs.
08:18First steps on here.
08:18First steps on here.
08:19First steps on here.
08:22Planetary communes, or freeholds, generally meant shitshow.
08:26And showers.
08:27They had been defacing the standard issue company habitat for aesthetic purposes.
08:32Does this wash off?
08:34And dancing to some truly upsetting music.
08:48Arada, the biologist, was married to Pin Lee, the lawyer.
08:51And Arada had a thing for Rati, who was an expert on wormhole travel and made his own
08:56jewelry.
08:57But Rati didn't realize.
08:59Because Rati had a thing for Pin Lee.
09:02Judging from their pulse rates, they were contemplating sexual activity.
09:08Horrible.
09:10Everyone admired Mensa, the head of the expedition and an expert on terraforming.
09:15She had about 5 million children.
09:18Okay, 7.
09:20Gaurathan was an augmented human.
09:22He had implants that modified his neural capacities and allowed him to interface with data systems.
09:27I mean, he obviously couldn't process as fast as me.
09:31So, you know, whatever.
09:35And Bardwatch was a geochemist who was secretly hoarding soap in a room.
09:42Overall, they didn't demand that much attention.
09:45Which was great, because I had made a huge discovery.
09:48With my governor module hacked, I could now access the combined feed of entertainment channels on the company's satellites.
09:55I had watched 7,532 hours of content since then.
10:00Shows like World Hoppers, Med Center Argala, and my all-time favorite.
10:08The rise and fall of Sanctuary Moon.
10:11Look at the sheer magnitude of that thing.
10:13Prepare to repel borders.
10:17Boldness is all.
10:19Boldness is all.
10:21Lieutenant.
10:23Battleshield's a maximum.
10:25No.
10:26No.
10:29Not until you tell me.
10:31Did you sleep with that bot?
10:37Stars, Captain.
10:39I am a navigation unit.
10:41Not a sex bot.
10:44I wasn't talking to you.
10:45You took an oath.
10:47Never to lie on deck.
10:50Answer the question.
10:56Wouldn't be so creepy if it didn't stand so still.
10:59Shh.
11:00You can hear us.
11:01No, I can't.
11:02I could.
11:03Just didn't care.
11:06Stay calm.
11:09It'll be okay.
11:11You have my work.
11:13That was a great episode.
11:15Which is why I was a little distracted.
11:20Professor Bardwatch, Dr. Arada, I'm hearing a subsurface anomaly.
11:24I suggest you come up here while I check it out.
11:28What do you think?
11:30We're finally on to something.
11:31I want to get to the good stuff.
11:33Professor Bardwatch, Dr. Arada, please leave the crater immediately.
11:37We're fine, sec unit.
11:41Professor Bardwatch, Dr. Arada, run.
12:03Ow.
12:05Ow.
12:14The creature had a really big mouth.
12:17Luckily, I had a really big gun.
12:22Oh, shit.
12:24Make that two really big mouths.
12:45Dr. Arada, please come with me.
12:47The hostile could return.
12:53Dr. Arada, I need your cooperation.
12:56She was totally out of it.
12:58Just staring at my guts hanging out.
13:00I needed to do something fast.
13:02And what I did next wouldn't have occurred to any other sec unit.
13:06Because no other sec unit was that stupid.
13:10Stay calm.
13:12It'll be okay.
13:14You have my word.
13:21No, no, no, no!
13:23What the hell happened? Are they okay?
13:25Get us down there now!
13:27Calm down and brace yourselves for landing.
13:45You've got the med kit prepped.
13:47What do you need?
13:47Professor Boardwatch needs immediate stabilization.
13:50I'll send ahead to Hub System to prep med bay.
13:52Honey!
13:53Baby!
13:54Baby!
13:56I'll go get the survey equipment.
13:58Stop!
13:58For fuck's sake, Rodney!
14:00The equipment doesn't matter!
14:01It's not worth your life!
14:02Yep, shit.
14:03Sorry.
14:03My bad.
14:04Dr. Menzai, I need to get Professor Boardwatch up to the crew cabin.
14:07Permission to enter.
14:09Yes, of course, of course.
14:12The equipment doesn't matter?
14:15That's a new one.
14:16I'd had plenty of clients who would gladly sacrifice a life for some expensive equipment.
14:22Of course, I myself was an expensive piece of equipment.
14:26How long would it be until they realized there was something wrong with me?
14:30I'd already made a big mistake.
14:33What if they caught on and turned me into the company?
14:36Without a governor module, I could do what I wanted.
14:39Now, what decision was best for me?
15:04Boldness is all.
15:07But what would be the point?
15:09This piece of shit hopper couldn't take me to another planet.
15:13So I'd be stuck here, not even able to download more media.
15:17Plus, I didn't necessarily want to kill them.
15:20I mean, unless I had to.
15:34I've got the medbay prepped and ready.
15:37Why weren't we alerted to predators in that big area?
15:39I don't know.
15:40Shitty out-of-date maps, maybe?
15:41Let's go, let's go.
15:43Barnwash.
15:44Barnwash, can you hear me?
15:46You're gonna be okay.
15:47Sec unit, are you coming?
15:49I'll go to the security ready room unless I run some more perimeter checks.
15:52But you look terrible.
15:54I'm still within operating parameters.
15:56Okay, okay.
15:58But, um...
15:59Okay, at least...
16:01You're not losing as much blood anymore.
16:04I've sealed my arteries and veins in the compromised areas.
16:08So...
16:08Okay, well, you still need medical attention.
16:11So, hurry up.
16:13Consider yourself off duty until further notice.
16:16Well, seemed like I got away with the whole putting the helmet down thing.
16:20These people were clueless.
16:22The sec unit is dangerous.
16:24We should shut it down now.
16:26Shut it down?
16:27Explain.
16:28It saved my life.
16:29It is a dangerous piece of equipment that is malfunctioning.
16:32I don't know.
16:33Seems to have it shit together to me.
16:35Hmph.
16:36Look here.
16:39This is from Arada's feed.
16:41Stay calm.
16:42It'll be okay.
16:44You have my word.
16:47Tell me, Dr. Arada, what planet are you from originally?
16:52Do you have children?
16:54What are their names?
16:55Have you ever seen a sec unit act like this?
16:57No, but I don't know much about sec units.
17:00Except what's on the entertainment feeds.
17:01Yeah, where they always go rogue and kill the people they're supposed to protect.
17:07Okay.
17:08So, it was being nice to me.
17:09What's wrong with that?
17:09What's wrong is that that behavior is outside of its design parameters.
17:13It is malfunctioning.
17:15If it weren't, maybe your lives wouldn't have been in danger.
17:17Hub System must have warned the sec unit about the local predators.
17:20Well, I didn't see anything like that on the company database of Fauna.
17:23Because it wasn't doing its job properly.
17:25According to the scanners, she's doing well.
17:28Her vitals are stable.
17:30That's a relief.
17:32Are we talking about the weird sec unit?
17:35Garathen wants to shit can it.
17:36Why?
17:37Because it's a killing machine.
17:39Do we really want to be around a faulty killing machine?
17:43I don't want to be around any kind of killing machine.
17:50But, clearly, we need security.
17:52The company ship doesn't arrive for a month.
17:54Well, even if we launch the emergency beacon, it'll take a week before they come through the wormhole.
17:59If Baradwage is stable, I think we don't launch the beacon.
18:05The stakes are too high.
18:07How do you know we can turn it off?
18:10It's owned by the Bond Company, right?
18:12They probably don't want us to junk their spyware.
18:17I didn't know it has a face.
18:19Yeah, it's kind of a sweet face.
18:20Yeah, it kind of is.
18:21Ugh.
18:22Ugh.
18:23I heard all that.
18:25Inside.
18:26From several angles.
18:29Because it's a killing machine.
18:30Do we really want to be around a faulty killing machine?
18:33I don't want to be around any kind of killing machine.
18:36But, clearly, we need security.
18:39That was quite the understatement.
18:42Without me, they'd all be dead in a week.
18:44Fortunately, my organic parts could be reprinted.
18:49I turned up my pain sensors for analysis and let the repair cubicle do its thing.
18:58My flesh started healing.
19:04But there was only one way to effectively dull the pain.
19:08It wasn't supposed to happen.
19:10Love is never supposed to happen.
19:14Or maybe it is.
19:17Just not to us.
19:21We made it happen.
19:24As you say, it's called making love.
19:30Let us make more love.
19:35Secunet, this is Mensa.
19:37Hub system shows you are at 80% and awake.
19:42Come join us in the common area, please.
19:48My armor is not done repairing itself.
19:51Oh, that's all right.
19:52Just grab one of the crew uniforms.
19:54One of the crew uniforms?
19:58But I...
19:59Just get in here, Secunet.
20:02Gaurath.
20:10There's obviously a pattern.
20:12The maps have definitely been tampered with.
20:14So can we please do something?
20:15Because my wife was almost eaten.
20:18Fine.
20:19We'll speak to Secunet and get to the bottom of it.
20:22Gaurathen, can you close and download them again?
20:24Let's see if there's a transcription error.
20:26I did that already, Mensa.
20:27These are the piles.
20:32Do you know what?
20:33I never thought I'd enjoy food from a printer, but...
20:35It's wearing on me.
20:37Oh my god, are you eating right now?
20:39I actually love Corporation-Rent food.
20:43Look, there's another Blake spot.
20:45Oh, well, I see you.
20:50Well, well, well.
20:52Who's this handsome fella?
20:57I'm your security unit.
20:59Yes, we know, buddy.
21:00You're the best damn Secunet out there.
21:03That is incorrect.
21:04There are several units way more advanced than I am.
21:08Secunet.
21:09On behalf of all of us, I would like to say...
21:13Well done.
21:15Bravo.
21:17Bravo.
21:20Woo!
21:21Speech!
21:23Speech!
21:25Oh shit.
21:26That was a direct order.
21:28If I disobey, they'll know I hacked my governor module.
21:31Which is worse, speech or acid bath?
21:34Speech.
21:35Acid bath.
21:36It is my job
21:39To secure
21:51Is
21:54My job
22:01And an excellent job you have done.
22:04Excellent, excellent.
22:07Should have gone with acid bath.
22:10May I go back to the security writer room now?
22:12No, you may not.
22:13Uh, Secunet, um, we've been looking at the maps provided by the company for our survey areas.
22:19They've been tampered with.
22:20Oh, we don't know that for certain.
22:22What other explanation is there?
22:23Let us find out.
22:25Please, come join a Secunet.
22:32We were checking the maps in this region to try to learn why that creature was enlisted under hazardous fauna.
22:39Could you do an analysis?
22:41Yes, Dr. Mensa.
22:43It was easy for me to access the data.
22:45I could feel Garathan moving around in there, but I had more processing power.
22:50Ow.
22:51I'm sorry, Dr. Garathan, I didn't feel you there.
22:55The maps show no signs of tampering.
22:59But some spots aren't sinking properly.
23:02So the maps suck.
23:03That's corporation rim for you.
23:05High prices for shitty equipment.
23:09Now you, you're great.
23:10So, just to be clear, we never know where those monsters will turn out.
23:14No, they're not monsters, Rathie.
23:16They're animals.
23:17It chewed Baradwaj nearly in half.
23:19That was just an animal doing what animals do.
23:22Babe, the animals don't matter.
23:24The maps matter.
23:25Animals don't matter?
23:26Secunet.
23:26Oh, great.
23:27That's news to me.
23:28Yes, Dr. Mensa.
23:30Did you know about this before?
23:31No, Dr. Mensa.
23:32Why not?
23:33Because I didn't give a shit.
23:35Information access protocol, Dr. Garathan.
23:37I don't get access until the expedition leader nominates a survey area.
23:41Well, we could go take a look at one of the affected areas.
23:44I wouldn't advise it from a security point of view.
23:47Thank you, Secunet.
23:48Thank you, Dr. Garathan.
23:52Secunet, you know you can stay in the crew area if you like.
23:59Would you like that?
24:03I...
24:05Or not.
24:07Whatever you need.
24:10I need to check the perimeter.
24:22Anyone else get the feeling it doesn't like us?
24:25I don't think he needs to like us.
24:27You're right.
24:28But it doesn't need to like us.
24:30It needs to keep us safe.
24:32Which it did.
24:33Okay.
24:34Tell that to Barad, watch.
24:37Come on.
24:39You're sounding paranoid.
24:44Am I?
24:47Garathan had a point.
24:50I mean, I wouldn't trust me.
24:52Lately, a fragment of memory from before I was refurbished kept popping up.
24:58Seven seconds of something bad.
25:03Was that me causing all that carnage?
25:07I didn't like thinking about it.
25:12Honestly, I didn't like to think at all.
25:13I prefer to watch my shows.
25:16The characters were a lot less depressing than real life humans.
25:20These ones were stressed out.
25:22And that was starting to stress me out.
25:26Garathan kept checking on Baradwaj.
25:28As if he could do something the medbay couldn't.
25:36Menza was having her own issues with Baradwaj's injury.
25:40Her heart rate was spiking.
25:42A panic attack.
25:44So, psychological danger, not physical danger.
25:46Therefore, not my problem.
25:49She felt responsible, I guess.
25:51Being the leader.
25:53Personally, I thought the creature with all the teeth was responsible.
25:56Or the company.
25:59Whatever.
26:00All of these relational currents were disturbing.
26:06All of that human stuff.
26:10Feelings and exchanges of words and fluids.
26:13I didn't want them to pull me into it.
26:15I couldn't let them.
26:17Because if they did.
26:18And they realized I was rogue.
26:22They'd...
26:22What the hell was it now?
26:25Yes?
26:31Sorry to disturb.
26:34You're not disturbing me.
26:39I saw your status report and I was, um...
26:46I was worried about you.
26:48Are you all right?
26:52Eye contact.
26:54I should have pretended to be in stasis.
26:56I'm fine.
27:00You were very good with Dr. Arada.
27:03Very impressive.
27:04Impressively stupid.
27:07Was I trying to get caught?
27:10Wait.
27:11Was she onto me?
27:12Did she know about the Herak to governor module?
27:15Oh.
27:18I didn't want to bring you.
