I went to the cafeteria to drink some tea.

Is that where you got the bruise?

No...

Last night in tai chi class, the man next

to me accidentally struck me.

Silas, you weren't in tai chi class last

night.

Yes he was.

I saw him.

What's that?

It's a Bumblebee.

Careful.

Don't they sting?

According to the laws of aerodynamics they

shouldn't even fly.

But they don't know it.

So they fly anyway.

Be a part of the solution by taking your

inhibitors.

Your health is the health of the collective.

Picking up.

If you're watching this film...

...your doctor has diagnosed you with s.O.S.

Switched on syndrome.

As members of the collective, we hear a lot

about switched on syndrome.

Here is important information about how

this debilitating disease will affect you.

And how you can manage it responsibly

before eventual containment

at the defective emotional neuropathy

facility, the den.

Switched on syndrome is a malfunction of

the gene silencing

that controls human emotions and eliminates

human flaws.

But in switched on syndrome, problem genes lose their silencing and re

-awaken.

Leading to unpredictable sensory

experiences and behavioral defects.

Until a cure is available.

Inhibitors are the only effective means of

slowing the disease's staging,

while dampening the onset of emotion.

And while the causes are unknown,

we do understand the disease's progression.

intermittent feeling, you will experience

difficulty concentrating,

depression, pain,

overwhelmed feelings,

impulsivity

and sensitivity to light.

As the disease progresses into further

stages,

consistent low level emotion and emotional

volatility,

these symptoms will worsen.

In stage four, acute behavioral chaos,

you will no longer function as a productive

member of the collective.

And your doctor will prescribe containment

at the den.

Where you will be provided with electro

restraint,

emotional suppression,

and a pain

-free death scenario.

If you have questions about your condition,

notify your doctor or health and safety

official for immediate attention.

And remember, a cure is right around the

corner.

Hello Silas.

Hello Nia.

Nia,

I read your article on the Harlow nine probe.

I was wondering if you' could look over my

impressions.

But you're speculative non

-fiction.

I switched with Leonard.

Why?

I felt like a change.

There's a staff meeting tomorrow afternoon.

Why don't I review your work then?

I'd really appreciate your input at this

early stage. If it's not too much trouble.

This isn't what I described.

Isn't it?

-Harlow nine is a lander not an orbiter.

Where's its robotic arm?

Are those for a feature?

-Yes.
