Story transcript

Morgan Thigpen: Okay... okay, breathe. That was a door. It was a door, right?

Morgan Thigpen: Chloe? Max? Anybody?

Morgan Thigpen: Why can't I hear the ocean?

Morgan Thigpen: Detroit...?

Morgan Thigpen: That sign says 2038.

Morgan Thigpen: No. No, I'm not doing a future-city thing.

Morgan Thigpen: People don't have blue lights in their heads.

Dr. Axis: Remain where you are. You have sustained an impact.

Morgan Thigpen: Don't come closer.

Dr. Axis: I am Dr. Axis. This is a research district.

Morgan Thigpen: You're a robot.

Dr. Axis: Technically, an android.

Dr. Axis: Your blood chemistry is human. Your identification is nonexistent.

Morgan Thigpen: I'm not registered because I don't live here.

Dr. Axis: Where do you live?

Morgan Thigpen: Arcadia Bay. Oregon. Before you ask, yes, that is a real place.

Dr. Axis: Your pulse suggests you do not believe I will accept that answer.

Dr. Axis: You are an anomalous subject. I need to ask you several questions.

Morgan Thigpen: I am not a subject.

Dr. Axis: Running will escalate the response.

Morgan Thigpen: Then stop giving me reasons to run!

Morgan Thigpen: Stay back! I mean it!

Dr. Axis: I am not pursuing you to cause harm.

Morgan Thigpen: You're following me through a locked hallway!

Dr. Axis: Because you are moving toward a restricted area.

Morgan Thigpen: That is not helping!

Morgan Thigpen: Please... just go backward. Just ten seconds. Please.

Morgan Thigpen: I can't be trapped here.

Morgan Thigpen: Not again.

Dr. Axis: You changed direction before the drone deployed.

Morgan Thigpen: Lucky guess.

Dr. Axis: Your pulse increased before the alarm sounded.

Morgan Thigpen: Maybe I am very good at guessing.

Dr. Axis: There was no monitor.

Morgan Thigpen: I know.

Dr. Axis: I have not said, 'The gate will open in three seconds.'

Morgan Thigpen: You were about to.

Dr. Axis: How?

Morgan Thigpen: I don't know. I just... remember it already happening.

Dr. Axis: Security protocol has changed. They have classified you as an immediate threat.

Morgan Thigpen: I'm not a threat! I fell through a hole!

Dr. Axis: The facility did not record a hole.

Morgan Thigpen: Then your cameras are broken!

Dr. Axis: That is not impossible.

Morgan Thigpen: Let go of me!

Dr. Axis: I am not restraining you.

Morgan Thigpen: You have your hand on my wrist!

Dr. Axis: Because the corridor is splitting.

Morgan Thigpen: What does that even mean?

Dr. Axis: It means your ability is affecting me.

Morgan Thigpen: You remember?

Dr. Axis: Again.
