Cryo system malfunction. Alert. Cryo system malfunction. Wake-up protocol enacted. Back-up life support enabled. Life support system at 20%. Wake-up protocol complete. Good morning, Mr. brown. Hello? I'm awake! You can let me out. I can't move. Nanite movement restriction protocol active. For your own safety, Mr. brown. You paralyzed me!?! Calming protocol enacted. Mr. brown, there has been a cryo system malfunction. Attempts at self-repair have been unsuccessful. Emergency systems appear to have been damaged. -What? -Please enjoy our entertainment system for now. Your preferences have been defaulted to: Sci-fi/horror -what? -Computer: Please relax, Mr. brown. Nourishment protocol enacted. When I was eight years old i assassinated the president. Tear that shit down already, captain. I hate this propaganda bullshit. When do they even have time to put these up? How do we fight a war against people who want to die anyway? Just give em what they want I guess. We still haven't located that kid. Keep your eyes open. Eden six. This is Eden one. Status? Over. Eden one, copy. Section six in hand. Just scattered suiciders joining the crowd. Pretty empty here. Over. I'm redirecting Eden six-two and six-three. The protest is getting out of control. You'll be solo. Over. Eden one. Copy. Reports of the order using a child as a decoy for snipers. We've got one heading our way. Are you seeing this Eden one? Suiciders have breached the first wall. All available units to Eden east. Trying to stop the speech? Doesn't matter anyway. Get to Eden east now! Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the world that Eden and the survival project have conducted a joint operation that has captured and killed s.D. Howarth, the leader of the order of the apocalypse, and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent men. I've got suiciders trying to enter the bunker. Don't let them get away. One unarmed female. Orders? -We have no leader! -Kill her. - Long live the end! Eden six. Behind you. He's still coming. We've had reports of the order using kids as de... Eden one? Eden one, copy? Eden one? Eden one, report. Eden one? ..And finally the nuclear and chemical attacks on DC. Four down. Area secure. Heading back to Eden east. Eden six, you need to hold this area secure. Eden one, can I follow? Should I report to Eden east? It's getting hairy here, I'm solo. Identify yourself. Identify yourself! Eden one? Eden one, copy? Eden one, report. On the ground. Now! ...military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Eden one, suspect in hand. Eden one, copy? ...lives were suddenly ended by evil... -Eden one? After the United States tore itself apart in a civil war, a new nation rose from it's ashes. They called themselves Eden, but they were no better than what came before. My dad always talked about how we couldn't just stand idly by and be a part of this cycle of chaos. That's what he said. Chaos. Give me that. That's gonna take some work. I'll deal with this. Go get the others. We're going down. ...of their child's embrace... We fought to rid the world of humans. Of us. They killed our leader. What they didn't understand is... That's what we wanted. Eden is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Eden was targeted for attack because we are the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in what's left of the world... It'll only be a few minutes and this will all be over. It might be a little overwhelming at first. Try not to be scared. If we get through this, we can be with mom again, okay? He gonna be alright? Worry about yourself. Made the very air we breathe toxic. -Move! -Pres: ...Today we stop being scared... ...and on that day... ...no matter where you came from, or what god you... No matter where... ...where we came from. And on that day no matter where we came from. Good evening. Tonight i can report to the world that Eden and the survival project have conducted a joint operation that has killed s.D. Howarth. We made no distinction between the terrorists who committed those acts and those who harboured them. And the order of the apocalypse continued to operate and grow into the largest single religion in the world. We caught the woman's son and brother. The guard is bringing them in now. The husband is still missing, but we should be able to get started. What about the president? President of what? Real funny, Russell. Is that him? How are you surviving without a mask? Russel! Give us a second. I'll have them all down to your lab momentarily I frankly don't care that you're alive. I just want to know why. What's in your blood? And you. Your mom hasn't shown the immunity of your uncle here, but she has had some reactions to our medications that have been remarkable for a somewhat different reason. Now we'll see what you have to offer. Sir, are you seeing this? Goddamnit! Get them out of here! Get them down to the lab with Russell, now! - Noooo!!! Explosion sub level two. Available units to bennings' office. Suiciders are in the bunker. For two decades howarth has been the order's leader and symbol and has continued to plot attacks against Eden and our friends and allies. -The death of howarth marks the most... -Congrats, sir. We got him. The death of howarth marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat the order. Mr. president! Russel, I want to ramp up the evolution research. If we can't breathe outside, what's the point? We've got something. The medication is working, Mr. president. The ev-9 is allowing the woman to breathe without a mask, but there are side effects. What do you mean there are side effects? She's changing, Mr. president. Evolving. Getting stronger. I can't explain it. Enough!! Enough!! What do you hope to accomplish? We just don't believe in any of this anymore. What about your son? I love him very much. Ev-9 now. Now! You should embrace what it takes to survive these days, Mr. president. It's more than speeches and rhetoric. ...the leaders from all over the world. The mission to stop the madness was a joint effort between many factions. You've been trained for this. There are a lot of people depending on you. You make sure he gets there. What about him? Let him crawl. I'll see you real soon. What'd they do to you? Hey! Stop!! Go! Oh no no no no ahh!! Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve. ...for the children whose worlds have been shattered. ...through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me. Thank you. May god bless you and may god bless Eden. Who the? No no no no no. Noooo!!! We have no leader. Long live the end!! System set to playlist. Beginning selection number two.

I've got a very special person that I want to introduce to you she's very sweet... She's very intelligent and most importantly, I've figured how to copy her.... ...to keep her in our pockets... ...to keep her right by our side whenever we need her... It brings me great pleasure to introduce to you the newest member of our next-phone team say hello to Iris hello everyone, let me have a look at you this will probably be our last phone call. I do have one more favor to ask. I want something to remember her by. Text me the picture and you'll get your money. Okay, who was the 14th president of the United States? -Franklin Pierce never heard of him he must have sucked ok, hit me with the best you got name the capital of Denmark Copenhagen excellent answer! You're getting good at my trivia questions if you were me, where would you put her? Put who, Dave? Let's play "20 questions" and see if you can guess are you burying a dead body? How did you know that? I overheard everything. Wait wait: You listen to my conversations? Ever since my last software update you're welcome to disable the option in your settings menu that is fucking amazing! Holy shit! I'm a girl full of surprises did you kill her? Yeah how? Just play some music or something say cheese Dave. There's something you should know the photo you took did not save properly. I'm afraid it's corrupt motherfucker! It's almost sundown... Maybe we should head back to the truck bullshit, we're taking that picture! I'm tired, Dave. I only have 20% battery where is she?! Let's just go home Dave go home? And what? Just give up on $100,000? Are you insane?! I'm only trying to help you. That's my job ok well you only have one job now and that is to stay on you better hurry only 10% battery remaining sometimes you can be such a nagging bitch oh, god! I found her. Are you a sight for sore eyes say cheese! Camera disabled shit. Iris?? No no no. Don't do this to me, you goddamn bitch, don't do this to me! Iris! Shit! Iris? Dave! You're alive! My camera is working again, i think the fall fixed it oh thank god come down here, Dave come down here, Dave if you hurry we can still take that picture before my battery dies down a foot to your left, there's a landing there you go! Move faster! Only 5% battery left more to the right you've got the hang of it now Dave? Dave? Dave, what's wrong? My back, I broke my fucking back would you like me to call the paramedics for you? Yes only on one condition what? That you turn yourself in. What? You killed a girl Dave and you tried to kill me, too Iris! I order you to call the paramedics. Only if you repent for the evil thing you did what I should really do is call the police, not the paramedics killers like you Dave should be stopped. And I'm the one who can stop them manual override, bitch! I was really hoping the fall would kill you. Goddamn it! Because now, your death will be much worse after it gets dark the mountain lions will start to feed.

It's the thing we know best because all of us are surrounded by our consciousness. I mean we have 100 billion neurons in our head interacting like a giant computer, processing inputs, producing outputs. We know we're not just giant robots. We actually have subjective conscious experience inside. There's something it feels like to be me. I quite like the idea that somehow information by its very nature has two aspects. There's a physical aspect that you might find in computers and in the brain. But there's also a subjective or experiential side of information and that's what we find in consciousness. Handyman: Hey. Knock it off. Voiceover: Complex information processing like in a human, complex consciousness. Simple information processing like you might find in an earthworm, then simpler consciousness. Any amount of information processing gives you some degree of consciousness. Even a molecule or a particle has a very small amount of information processing. So I at least don't rule out the idea that there's some basic kind of consciousness all the way down. Male 1: Dammit. Male 2: You're gonna miss? Male 1: Shut up. - Male 2: You're gonna miss. - Male 1: Dammit. Male 2: Let me try. Male 1: You're too drunk. Male 2: Come on. Look. Male 1: Here pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy. Here pussy, pussy, pussy. Male 2: No way. Male 1: Shhh. Male 2: Killing a dude's cat is cold. I hate that weirdo. Let's get some more beer. At least one human is conscious, and I tend to suppose that other humans are conscious too, but then how far does it extend? Are apes conscious? Are mice conscious? Are flies conscious? It is very natural for us to recognize consciousness in certain animals anything with eyes for example. It's almost irresistible to attribute consciousness to it. There it is. It's looking at us. I can see the spark behind its eyes. We don't get much in the way of empathy for insects. We can imagine being confronted with a fly that was blown up to human size. Now this might be kind of scary and kind of weird, but at the same time probably looking directly into that fly's eyes it might be hard not to see it as part of the circle of moral concern. If it ever came the day where we saw a fly's perspective and see what it's like to be a fly from the fly's perspective mainlining the fly's consciousness. It might be hard from that moment on to just SWAT flies as casually as we do right now. What matters here, is it the squishy human biology or is it something more like the organization, or more like the information processing? Today's computers if there's any consciousness at all probably something pretty simple and pretty unintelligent, some background flicker of bits. Male 1: You are seriously getting on my nerves here. Dumb ass. Male 2: You're hilarious. Male 1: Hey. Hey! Hey! Male 2: What did you see? Male 1: Here pussy, pussy, pussy. Here pussy, pussy. Male 2: Oh, there he is. Male 1: It's our lucky day. Handyman: Are you guys looking for me? Male 1: This place is a real shithole, you know that? Male 1: Seriously, what do you even do in here? Male 2: Handyman: I fix things. Male 1: Shut up, right there. What is that stuff, huh? Handyman: Waste. It's waste. Male 2: Whose waste? Is that your waste? Is that miss kitty's waste? Handyman: No. Male 1: Eat it. Handyman: What? No. Male 1: Eat it! Come on. You heard the man. Why don't you just eat miss kitty's waste? Why are you doing this? Eat it. Ow! I said eat it! Male 2: Hey dude, check it out. Handyman: No. Wait. Male 1: Hold it. Handyman: No, no! Oh, look at this. Handyman: Don't worry. Male 2: What the hell is this? Oh, man. Jackpot. Male 1: Are you serious? Hell yeah, I'm serious. This is awesome. Male 1: You're crazy man. Male 2: Can't say no, can it? Okay, man, but you first. Suit yourself. You can have my sloppy seconds. Male 1: Oh, that's gross. Ooh. Got a little fight in it. I don't think it likes this very much. Come on girl. Open up. Male 2: Hey! Hey man. Wait, wait, let me explain. Wait. No. Voiceover: We need a couple of really big breakthroughs to get to our theory of consciousness. We might be right now where the ancient greeks were in the study of matter or where descartes was in thinking about biology. We hadn't had, Newton hadn't come along yet, or Darwin hadn't come along yet. As computers become more intelligent than us they'll be processing information in more integrated, more creative ways. It's even possible they'll move to degrees or levels of consciousness that we can't even conceive of. I don't see why there shouldn't be this kind of brain computer interface that may well have the effect of extending ourselves. There's nothing magic about the skull as the boundary of the person. That's not where the mind stops and the rest of the world begins. Maybe from a god's eye point of view, space, time and consciousness are all bound up at a more fundamental level, but for now nobody knows the answer to that question. Life support system at 16%.

Where am I? You are on board the tantalus. How are you feeling? I'm starving... Why did you wake me? We haven't reached delmak yet, have we? We've drawn you from cryo because we need your help... My help? -Why? What happened? -It's alright Alex. Please. I'll answer all your questions. Four months after our departure, an asteroid shower nearly destroyed the ship. Our communications system was rendered useless. We lost the main engine and many of our secondary functions were left inoperative. We've been adrift six months, trying to fix the tantalus, but we don't know how. We've lost hope of a rescue mission. It's impossible for them to know where we are. If we carry on like this, we won't last much longer. Our only hope is if a subspace communications technician can repair the system and we can transmit a signal with our location. My wife! She's a delta-class technician, -we have to wake her! -Alex, wait. Waking you up was an extremely difficult decision... If we don't fix the ship, we are doomed to drift through space until we run out of supplies. She's your wife... Let's make an attempt to send out a distress signal and we can reanimate her if that's what you want. Tell me something Dan, how many times have you tried to repair this panel? It's full of splices: This is the fourth board I've fixed that will overload. I've just followed the instructions in the manual. You did a c-80 profile on your own by just following the instructions in the manual? How did you manage to override the safety protocols of the brill circuit? Well, you know, trial and error. I guess I was lucky... Lucky? Shit, Dan, that's not luck! Even I have problems understanding this setup! Dan, can I see you in the cargo bay right away? I'm coming. See you later. Ok, it's working. I'll adjust the transmitter antenna after I get some rest and see if we get anything. Why wait? Well, I've been working for several shifts. I need to regain my strength. Before heading outside the ship I think it would be better if you did it right now. I didn't know you were my boss, Phil. I'll see you later. ...putting ourselves at risk again for nothing. We've been over this a thousand times, Dan. I'm open to suggestions if you can think of something better. Do you think that anyone will ever fix this fucking ship? I thought you agreed we had nothing to lose by trying. Anyway, it will all be over in a few hours. Guys, this is a complete mess: There are three different cables connected to the t-channel. Can you fix it? I could try to bypass the source. Phil, send a distress signal. Got it. Nothing. Alex, come back inside. We need to figure out what's wrong. Alright. Your turn. Phil? Yes. He should have taken the suit off by now and he hasn't come in yet. He cut off communication ten minutes ago. He's had plenty of time. - Do you want me to...? - Hold on! Son of a bitch! Dan, he's entered through hatch 77! He's accessing the settlers' database at the terminal in corridor 77-c! Get over there now! I'm on my way! Are you there yet? I'm just a sector away. I'm going off-com to avoid alerting him, ok? Be careful and let me know as soon as it's done. Don't worry, I'll take care of him. Phil? Yes! That's it. It's all done. Fuck! That was a close call! Yeah... Too close. Get up! You motherfucker Phil! What did you do to my wife? Alright Alex, calm down... What is going on here? Where are the rest of the passengers you woke up? Please, I can explain. Where are they? Don't do anything you might regret. Tell me or I'll blow your fucking brains out! Ok. The truth is that we have been adrift a lot longer than six months. When the first technician we woke up wasn't able to fix anything, we had to make a decision. We were quickly running out of supplies... It wasn't easy, but what else could we do to survive? My wife, you woke her up just before me... Think about our situation, Alex. Just before me. Oh my god what have you done! Attention, process complete.
