"I was not finished talking! I would like an apology!" Thomas says sternly as James opens the door to his chamber.

Yeah, just flip through your perverted little fucking magazines, that seems to be all you're good for around here, anyway," says Thomas. "Relax, man, it's just a nickname.

Space Station 45585 is a prison labor vessel designed by the Humanitek Research Development Branch. The vessel is located on the outer edge of the galaxy, orbiting Saturn from the middle of the E-Ring. A state-of-the-art filtration system collects microparticles from the ring and deposits them in the lab for study. The vessel is self-driving and has chambers for four crew members (typically two scientists, a doctor, and a guard to enforce order).

(align:"==>")+(box:"X=")[Transcription 2] `[There are the cold, airy sounds of cryogenic chambers opening.]` Thomas: Wake up, everyone! We're here. Susan: `[groggy, slurred voice]` Feels like I just got to sleep. How long's it been? Tony: `[also groggily]` The dude said, like, six years, didn't he? Thomas: Yes, that's what "the dude" said. You've been asleep for six years. Tony: Shit...all of my friends are old now. They even remember me? Thomas: You don't have friends anymore. This is our life now. James: `[slightly more alert than others]` Well, aren't we all friends now? We've really got no other choice...hey, how come you didn't go to sleep? Thomas: My body doesn't age. I had a brain transplant into an android body 8 years ago. James: You're a robot? Thomas: No, I've still got a normal brain. James: But no flesh, just some aluminum shit. Thomas: It's actually a steel-titanium alloy. [[Next transcription -> Audio 3]] [[View files of crew members]] [[Begin footage]]

(align:"==>")+(box:"X=")[Transcription 3] `[Sounds of metal utensils hitting plastic trays.]` Susan: You see, I really had no choice. I didn't ask for him to give me the information, but it was either trade the stock or lose the house. I didn't ask for the tip, he just gave it to me. And I never thought I'd get caught. Thomas: Do you think it might have been a setup? Susan: I try not to think about it. Anyway, I think you're the one who needs to justify themselves, Tony. Tony:`[food in his mouth]` I need a justification? `[He swallows the food, his voice is clearer]`. I couldn't pay for college, and not a single fucking place in the city will hire you without some sort of Bachelor's, or Associates, or whatever. Like, seriously, I need a degree in STEM to flip burgers? Anyway, my parents booted me out onto the street, I needed an apartment, nowhere was hiring, of course I started moving weight. James: Never thought to go to a shelter, kid? Tony: Ah, hell no, man! I had a friend tell me he had to leave the shelter because they pissed in his breakfast one morning. He didn't even do anything, they just felt like it! I mean if you think about it, this ship is a much sweeter deal than a shelter. So why'd you start robbin' banks, anyway? James: I was bored. I hated my job, and the thrill of a heist, it was just something else. [[Next transcription -> Audio 4]] [[View files of crew members]] [[Begin footage]]

Tony: If it didn't make for a good ingredient, I didn't fuck with it. Thomas: Great. They assigned me a cocaine chef. Tony: Hey, I'm a fast learner! Thomas: I chose this over jail because I wanted to *research*. I didn't sign up to be a chemistry tutor. Tony: Whatever, man. It's either this, or let me sit on my ass and watch TV while you do it all yourself. I mean, I know what I'd rather do. `[he chuckles]` Thomas: Fine, I'll teach you.

(align:"==>")+(box:"X=")[Transcription 5] `[Sound of the television playing at a moderate volume. The dialogue is audible, but has been deemed unimportant for the transcription]` James: All I'm saying is that there's a lot more to being a human than just the brain. If he doesn't have flesh, he's not a whole person. Susan: What's your point here, James? James: I think we should keep an eye on him. He's just...different. I don't know, he could be dangerous. Susan: James. His brain is the same. You're being paranoid. Sure he's a little short tempered, but he's not *dangerous*. James: I guess so. I still got my eye on him, though. This is the final audio transcription before the incident. [[View files of crew members]] [[Begin footage]]
