No idea who we are or how we got here.
We've named ourselves by the order we woke up in.

The Raza is the name of this sh.
We're not here to help these pe, we're here to kill them.
We had a deal.
I got a better offer.
[ANDROID] Good morning everyone.
Here is your report from the br.
I hope you're all enjoying a hearty breakfast.
The ship's engines are operating within acceptable parameters.
At current rate of travel we should be arriving
at the space station in approximately 26 hours and 7 se.
Exactly one hour earlier than the last time
she updated us, one hour ago.
Thank you robot.
[THREE] So, here's what happens when we hit the space station.
Hawk the ship, split the profits,
have a fond farewell toast... Bid each other adieu.
No?
[ONE] You want to split up?
Yeah, we're six strangers and a robot.
We don't owe each other anything.
But we're a team.
No offense, but this "team"
has a lot of dead weight on it.
[SIX] Offense taken.
Once we get to the station we're gonna refuel, resupply,.
I'd be happy to give anyone who wants to leave their share
of whatever we have left, but we're not selling the ship.
Ain't up to her.
I don't want to sell the ship.
Me neither.
Okay, yeah.
Alright.
[door whooshes open and closed]
You know, if we just stick together...
[FOUR slams silverware down]
Fine.
That's fine.

This is what I wanted anyway.
A little peace and quiet.

You wanna play a game or something?
[SIX sighs] Nah, I'm just gonna take a nap.
I found this antique book in one of the holding rooms.

but it's all new to me now.

[ANDROID] Male, appears to be in his mid-teens.
Didn't need to break out the fancy scanners to tell us t.
How long has he been dead?
A while.
[ONCE] Shouldn't he have started to decompose by now?
Under normal circumstances yes, but the temperature
in that section of the ship was significantly lowered.
As a result, the body was quite well preserved.
What were you doing up in those vents anyways?
[FIVE stuttering] Exploring.
You shouldn't be up there at all.
It's dangerous.
Not anymore dangerous than the rest of this ship.
Any idea what happened to him?
He was shot.
A single bullet to the kidney.
He bled to death.
Who was he, why the hell did he bleed out on our ship?
That the scanner can't tell us.
Is there any record of another crew member
in the ship's computer?
None that I found.
You mean one of us killed him
and stuffed him in that utility room?
There's no point in speculating.
Without our memories, we'll probably never know.
We'll jettison it the next time we drop out of FTL.
That's it?
Did you want to organize a funeral?
Prepare parting remarks?
I think it'd be a bad idea to dock at the space station
with a dead body on board.
One of us killed him, that doesn't bother you?
Almost everything about this bothers me,
but pointing fingers isn't going to get us anywhere.
Let's just...
Lets just forget about this and put it behind us, alright?
Come on.

I need you to do something for me.
Of course, Two.
And I'm going need you to keep quiet about it.
[staff whirling through air]
[THREE] Hey, you busy?
Listen, I need you to help swing the vote.
Get the others to sell the ship so we can all cash out.
What makes you think I wanna do that?
Well because selling this ship allows us the freedom
to chart our own course...
Woah!
[THREE] Come on man, instead of letting these losers decide for,
let's cut 'em loose!
[FOUR] It's too soon.
We don't know enough about who we are, who they are.
The person I was chose to be on this ship.
You don't know that you even chose to be on this ship.
The clearest path hasn't presented itself yet.
And until it does, I stay.
Alright, have a good time playing with your stick.
But if the day should come where I'm no longer pleased
with this arrangement...
Yeah?
Even then I wouldn't sell the s,
I'd take it for myself.
I feel bad for him.
The time for feeling bad for him is long past.
He's gone.
I know, it's just... the thought of dying in some dark room,
bleeding and alone.
He was around my age.
I probably knew him.
Maybe.
And maybe not.
When I was in that vent, I could've just passed right by,
but something told me to stop and look in that room.
It was like I'd been there befo,
like I knew there was something to find.
[frustrated sigh]
I knew he was there, which means I knew him.
He probably meant something to me once.
And now, he's just some dead stranger.
It's not right.
I just wish I could remember.
Well, the more I think about it,
the more I believe we're betterf not remembering any of it.
Really?
Yeah.
Fresh starts for all of us, right?
What if...
Yeah?
What if some of our memories were...
What if they weren't all gone?
[FIVE] Don't! Please!
[SIX] She has all our memories in her head?!
And you knew it?!
I knew that's what she thought.
And you told her to stay quiet about it?
Why?
I wanted to make sure.
Yeah?
How'd you plan on doing that?
She's been having dreams.
Dreams she thinks might be memories,
except they're not just hers.
What?
I think all of our memories may have somehow
been transferred into her subconscious.
How's that even possible?
[SIX] How's any of this possible?
[TWO] There's something else.
One of the dreams she experienced was of one of us
sabotaging the stasis pods.
Son of a bitch.
Just because she dreamed it, doesn't make it real.
I had the Android search through all terminal activity
prior to our last deep sleep.
I recovered portions of a self-deleted subroutine
that was initiated prior to all of you entering stasis.
Although it's specific intent I,
it would appear your memories were targeted.
Oh, come on guys.
How hard can this be?
The kid remembers doing it.
[TWO] Alright, alright, come on.
Why didn't you tell us about this sooner?
I wanted to see if her dream about tampering
with the ship's systems checked out.
It did, which means this goes far beyond that one memory.
She could have all of our memories
tucked away in her head.
You have no idea whose memories you're experiencing?
No.
In the dreams, everything is happening to me,
but sometimes I can tell I'm not me.
It's really confusing, and a lot of times kinda hazy.
I have trouble remembering it when I wake up.
So someone in this room wiped our memories
and probably killed that kid.
[power system failing]
[buzzing]
[TWO] What was that?
We just dropped out of FTL.
Why?
There's something wrong with the ship.
[alarm continues]
[ANDROID] We've lost power to several systems,
including external sensors and the FTL drive.
What happened?
The operation efficiency of one of the outer relays
dropped below minimum safe.
The ship detached the coupling and shut down
all related systems to avoid a catastrophic failure.
Translation please?
We nearly blew a fuse.
Except in this case, "blowing a fuse"
would equate to an explosion powerful enough
to vaporize the entire ship.
Well, that's great.
Dead bodies, hacked stasis pods, now this.
It's a whole lotta things going wrong on this ship.
Almost like someone's been tampering with it,
isn't that right tech monkey?
Back off.
Why are you protecting her?
I know I like her a lot more than I like you.
Could this be sabotage?
[ANDROID] The coupling is located on the outer hull.
If someone wanted to tamper with it,
they would have had to perform an EVA.
You mean go outside the ship?
It seems unlikely.
[TWO] No, it's impossible.
We were in FTL until five minutes ago.
Exactly.
On the other hand, tampering with the diagnostic system
to make the ship think that the coupling would fail
would be comparatively simple.
If someone wanted to disable the ship
without doing any real damage, this would be an excellent way.
Well, we can't stay out here forever.
How do we get the FTL back online?
First, I have to determine what, if anything,
is wrong with the system.
That could take some time.
We'll let you get to it then.
Do you have another question?
Yeah.
When people lie, they exhibit tells, right?
Physical signs that they're being untruthful.
When humans are being deceptive,
they show a spike in respiration, blood pressure,
and changes in skin conductivity.
Now those signs, we wouldn't necessarily be able
to notice them, but you could, right?
If I was in close enough proximity, yes.
In theory, I could determine if a person was lying.
[FOUR] Where are we going?
[FOUR] You said you wanted to show me something.
[THREE] I do.
Just trust me on this one.
You are going to be amazed.
That's it?
Yeah.
You expect me to be amazed by a very large door?
No, not the door, what's behind the door.
What's behind the door?
I don't know.
I mean why else keep it behind this kind of lockdown?
No one else knows about this?
Nope, only you, because you're the only guy I trust.
Oh hey, I've been thinking.
The way you handle your weapons it's damn impressive.
It's mighty damn impressive
for someone who's lost their memories.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm not accusing you of anything.
Just wondering how you do it is all.
I mean you can't even remember your own name,
yet you recall all these fancy moves?
Hmm?
Instinct.
Okay, instinct.
So what are your instincts telling you about
whether or not you can open this door?
Remember, we're partners in this, yeah.
I've got your back; You've got mine.
So, you think you can open this door?
No.
Well, shit.
[SIX] Hey.
[TWO] What?
We need to talk.
About what?
The kid.
You mean Five.
She doesn't belong here.
A while ago, you were arguing otherwise.
That was before she found that body.
We're bad company.
I know, but she woke up in that stasis pod like everybody else,
and that tells me she did something right, or wrong, to b.
Is that what you believe?
Or is it what you've convinced yourself,
so you can keep her around long enough
to tap those memories in her head?
We're convening in the mess hall.
What for?
Answers.
I'll begin by asking some simple questions
to establish a vitals baseline.
Sure thing.
What is your name?
Jace Corso.
Well at least that's what the records tell me.
Here they call me One.
Well, Griffin Jones was my name; I'm now Six.
Two.
My name is Two.
What day is today?
I have no idea.
I don't know; Don't really care.
It's chocolate protein pudding day!
Where are you?
Sitting here talking to you.
In the mess hall.
Where is that?
This ship, the Raza.
Do you have any memory of your life
before exiting the stasis pod five days ago?
No.
None.
No.
Do you have any memory of tampering with the stasis pods?
No.
None.
Well I had a dream about it, but besides that no.
Do you mean any of the passengers
on this ship any harm?
No.
Have you sabotaged this ship in anyway?
[ALL] No.
Have any of the answers you've given here today been li?
No.
She's telling the truth.
You all are.
We're not done.
[THREE cocks gun]
Not interested.
Thanks, though.
[TWO] We all did it.
Nope, I've told you everything I know.
Good, then this should be easy.
I don't trust that robot.
We're not asking.
[THREE] This is gonna influence the test!
[ANDROID] Just try to relax.
Seriously?
With Twitchy Fingers over here?
If you shoot him you may skew the results.
[THREE sighs in annoyance]
What is your name?
Don't make this any harder than it needs to be.
Just answer the questions it'll be over before you know i.
What is your name?
From the moment I stepped out of that pod, it's been Three.
The day after yesterday and a little before tomorrow.
This is ridiculous.
Do you have any memory of tampering with the stasis pods?
Of course not.
There's a problem.
[SIX cocks gun] I knew it!
I'm detecting something unsettling.
I'm not lying!
Not with you.
With the ship.
The hull is being bombarded with an unusually high concentration
of gamma radiation.
You still think the ship hasn't been sabotaged?
At this current level of exposure,
full penetration will occur within three hours.
At which point, everyone on board will be subjected
to a lethal dose of radiation.
Were supposed to protect the hull from radiation.
That's exactly what they've been doing.
But this level of exposure has taxed them
I've had to reroute power from some of the ship's other systems
to reinforce them.
[ANDROID] There are any number of celestial phenomena
that can generate this level of gamma radiation,
even at interstellar distances.
But in this case I believe we're dealing with the remains
of a type 1-A supernova.
It's unfortunate that we happened to emerge from FTL
within lethal range.
Yeah right... this is all just bad luck?
You think whoever sabotaged the ship timed this malfunction
deliberately to put us in this location?
Even though he, or she, would suffer from the effects
like everyone else?
Unless, he or she is an it.
What kind of "effects" are we talking about here?
Nausea, vomiting, disorientatio-
Okay.
Infection, peeling skin.
Yeah, okay, okay, I get it!
[THREE] Okay, just wait a minute here.
If this is a supernova or whatever,
that mean's it's been happening since we got here, right?
So, how come Miss Know-It-All
is only telling us about it right now?
I believe I may have already mentioned
that the external sensors were down.
Once it made significant penetration into the hull.
You've got an answer for everything, don't you?
Yes, I am an excellent information source, thank you.
[TWO] Alright, enough.
So we know the situation, what can we do?
You have two options.
One, you can override the safety protocol,
and initiate an immediate jump to FTL.
[ONE] We can do that?
[ANDROID] But, I wouldn't advise it.
[TWO] Why not?
The system was shut down for a reason.
If we engage the coupling without addressing the malfunct,
the computer is predicting a 73% chance of developing
a fatal instability in the plasma matrix.
The ship blows up.
[ONE] 73%? I'm not loving those odds.
Of course, if you really believe this was sabotage,
it's most likely the diagnostic program that was tampered with,
in which case there's really nothing wrong
with the coupling at all.
Would anyone like to take that chance?
You said there was a second option.
[ANDROID] The computer has identified what it believes
to be the faulty part.
It's a relatively small electrical component.
All we have to do is replace it.
In the deadly radiation storm?
Why are we even listening to this bag of bolts?
She's obviously got a wire loose.
[THREE] On the other hand, sometimes she makes a lot of se.
Good luck.
You're not impervious to gamma radiation.
The suits are shielded against full spectrum EM.
As long as I'm not outside for too long,
I'll be fine.
[SIX] You okay?
Yeah.
I just I want to be here in case she needs something.
[power generator shutting down]
It'll be okay.
She'll get us all fixed up.
I know.
My guess is she's making it seem a little worse than it is,
that way were all impressed when she takes care of it.
I don't think Androids work that way.
I know they're not supposed to, but lets face it,
ours is a little different.
[FIVE chuckles]
I know.
That's why I like her.
She's just like the rest of us.
[SIX chuckles]
[TWO] Let's test your comm.
Are you reading me?
Loud and clear.
[ONE] Suit is pressurized.
O2 is flowing.
Good luck.
I don't need it.
Well, good luck anyway.
No, the oxygen.
I don't need it.
We're draining power from the other systems
to boost the shield.
I'd better hurry.
[ONE] Venting airlock.
[ANDROID] You should know, I've used my neural link to upld
an override program.
It can be accessed from the navigation console
on the bridge.
That won't be necessary.
Simply initiate the override, then after a few moments,
once complete, it will automatically
execute the jump to FTL.
We won't need it.
I sincerely hope you're right.
But if anything goes wrong out there,
it will be your only chance.
You just get back in one piece, we can't do this without you.
Well, you can.
Opening outer door.
[ANDROID] The outer couplings are housed in a series of trencs
about 50 meters from this position.
It should only take me a few minutes to get there.
Something's wrong.
[electric zapping]
[TWO] Close the door and come back inside.
[ANDROID] It's an electro-static discharg.
A side effect from the radioactive bombardment.
When the accumulation of negative ions is too much
for the hull to absorb, they're sporadically released.
[TWO] Will your suit insulate you if you get hit?
I highly doubt it.
But there's no cause for alarm.
It seems to have stopped.
For now. How long until the next one?
I don't know.
I'll just have to get my work de as quickly as possible.

Of course I am.
But if everyone's telling the truth...

Why would anyone do that?

The code was crude, perhaps rushed.
A communal mindwipe may not have been the intention.

It means that finding out whoever did this

Well, truth is, they didn't mean us any harm.
We felt it was worth the risk to save the Android; They didn'.
What about the sabotage?
The Android analyzed the part she replaced.
Turns out it really was defective.
There was no sabotage.
[breathing heavily]
Anchor me.
I've been thinking.
Why would whoever did this target our memories?
What was their endgame?
Well, Five seemed to think it was because we were "dangerous."
Yeah but, dangerous how?
As far as I can tell, dangerous in every sense of the word.
No, I know, I just...
We've all got bounties on our heads.
If you wanted to capture us, to subdue us,
what would be the best way to do it?
There's got to be easier ways than erasing our memories.
What if what he actually wanted to do
was only target part of them.
Look, we may have lost our memories,
but I think it's pretty safe to say
that we didn't lose our personalities.
And there's only one person on this ship who's made no bones
about looking out for number one.
So, looking out for you?
You know what I mean.
He wants to sell the ship.
He could care less about the "team."
I understand the need to want to make sense of all th,
but you have to make peace with the fact
that we'll probably never know.
And throwing around accusations isn't going to help.
