Where are your people now?

Gone.

Dead.

You'll need these.

Now, what you're looking for

is a pattern in the sand.

You see over here? That's okay.

But over here, you see how

smooth the surface is?

There we go.

That's great.

Crawler hole.

Why do the Crawlers do that?

They don't. I put her up there.

She froze to death.

That's my wife.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Of course, I'd prefer

to bury the dead,

but the ground isn't safe.

The Crawlers, they, uh...

They find the meat.

My father's over there.

They got my mother.

They took her under.

What about that one over there?

Oh, that? That's an InWorlder

I found years ago.

Another exile.

Do you remember what

he looked like?

Couldn't tell.

Not even an InWorlder deserves

to become their food.

Family?

My family's dead.

Just give me that.

With Infinisynth, you live your life

in a room, plugged into the system.

You're awake long enough

to eat and use the toilet,

and that's it. That's all there is.

But there's no pain, no danger.

If reality's all in your

mind, isn't that enough?

Not for me.

It can be beautiful here.

It's safe now.

The sun's low, filtered

through more atmosphere.

Any other time...

I've never seen a real book before.

This is the Bible.

I've heard of it.

But who needs Bibles in heaven?

Then what do you believe in?

Have you no hope for eternity?

If you want eternity,

Infinisynth can give it to you.

It's just a sensation.

If you want to shake the

hand of God, you do it.

It's a program.

What about you?

What did you do in the machine?

I explored other planets.

I tried being a planet.

I rode on dinosaurs.

I ate at nice restaurants.

I had a lot of time on my hands.

But what have you

really experienced?

Not much.

Nothing.

You must have imagined doing this.

About a million times.

But this was your first time?

Yes. This was my first time.

This is pretty.

It's my wedding ring.

I haven't been with a

woman since she died.

I thought I was the

last human on Earth.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Get dressed.

Stover!

Stover! Stover!

Stover!

Stover!

Stover, help me! Stover, help!

Where are they taking us?

Stover! Stover!

Don't! Stop it!

Don't! Don't...

I'm Judy.

What's your name?

Can you please... What?

Infinisynth.

That sign, it's Infinisynth.

I'm from Infinisynth.

That's right.

I'm from Infinisynth and

you must release me.

You must release me and

take me to Stover.

No!

What has become of you, Claude?

Where are your thoughts?

So, Claude, another one.

Skinny.

Hair needs cutting,

but she'll do in a pinch.

Seen too much?

No. No.

No, not seen enough.

Where's Stover?

What are you gonna do to me?

That's for us to know.
