Orbiter 9 Page #4

Then I'm a freak too.

You have to hold the chopstick

with this finger.

Why do you use chopsticks?

You have to use this finger.

- Why do you eat with sticks?

- Open your mouth.

Good morning.

What's in the room downstairs?

The one I can't go in.

There are no cameras

in the bedroom or the common areas.

Only the ones you saw in the corridor

and the entrance.

I only had to hack the first one.

And when they see

I'm not getting older...

or that I always do the same thing?

We'll record your signal from here

and send it whenever we want.

It's easy.

What will they do with the rest

of the passengers in 20 years

at the end of the voyage?

The Rebecca unit will inform them

of a supposed error

in the navigation chart

and it will be extended indefinitely.

What for?

To study their vital signs longer.

How much longer?

The simulators will only

open the doors

when the biowitnesses confirm

that each passenger is deceased.

How...

How could you get involved

in something like this?

I'd like to show you something.

Hugo came into my life

shortly thereafter.

When he explained

the experiment to me,

I guess I only wanted to see

the positive side of the project.

With the Earth-Celeste

voyage simulation

we can save millions of lives

across the world...

when the trips become a reality.

That's all I took into account.

So...

you put it all on a scale

and didn't mind sacrificing ten people?

No.

I didn't at the time.

- I love it when you're upset.

- Oh, Marta.

It's true.

That's the reason I married her.

- I'm being serious.

- So am I.

12 hours with no water every day.

And we're the lucky ones,

in other sectors it's worse.

So you two met in Spain

when you were kids?

That's right.

I had no idea Alex worked here.

When I ran into him at the lab,

I couldn't believe it.

Of course.

What a surprise!

Helena's a brilliant

computer technician.

No wonder they went over there

to find her.

And you're like Alex, right?

You can't talk about

the Orbit program.

Confidential information.

What do you think, Chao?

Alex said you're not convinced

about the trip to Celeste.

Well, I think at some point

we'll have to make a decision.

Either go back to being

the cavemen we once were,

or travel to Celeste.

But you still think

things can be fixed here.

I wish we weren't throwing in

the towel on Earth.

I also don't like the idea of my son

having to spend half his lifetime in a ship

to reach a planet

we don't even know.

I don't even consider it.

Marta and I would get immediately

rejected by the boarding protocol.

The reproduction criteria

is crap.

There you go.

We're a disgusting species

and we deserve the planet
