-
(feminine computer voice) Robotic human
surrogates combine the durability of machine,
-
with the grace and beauty of the human body.
-
With most people living their lives
through their surrogate selves,
-
our world has become a safer place.
-
Take a seat in your stem chair,
-
and just with the power of your mind,
-
you can control your surrogate,
-
and send it out into the real world.
-
You can live your life without limitations.
-
You see what they see
-
feel what they feel,
-
and become anyone you want to be
-
from the comfort and safety of your own home.
-
You can finally live the life
you've always dreamt of,
-
without any risk or danger to yourself.
-
(male voice)
We are confronted with an unprecedented situation.
-
Two people have died while
connected to their surrogates.
-
(different male)
I think we may actually have a homicide here.
-
First one in fifteen years.
-
(1st male)
The public can not be allowed to get the idea that
-
using a surrogate can be fatal.
-
(2nd male)
Especially if it's true.
-
I just want to know how an operater can be killed by
-
signals from their surrogate.
-
(woman)
Surrys have been blown to bits without
-
the least bit of harm to their operators.
-
(2nd woman)
If it were possible, it would defeat the entire purpose of the surrogate.
-
(woman)
Oh my god. Tom?
-
You're lucky to be alive.
Good thing you're unplugged.
-
How long is it since you've
been out without a surrogate?
-
I can't even remember.
-
It's different when you actually feel the pain.
-
What do you want from me?
-
I want my wife.
-
I am your wife.
-
No you're not.
-
You could change the world,
and now you want to destroy it?
-
How do I stop this?
-
You can't.
-
Maggie, get offline, I think
something's going to happen....
-
What happens now?
-
Now it's up to you.
