Love, death and robots. Approach Pavonis Mons in a hot air balloon (official blog author). Received on March 12, 2019. Received from Philip Gelatt, Alastair Reynolds (Original Story) Leon Berel, Dominic Boidin, Remi Kozyra, Maxime Lauer's Previous Next When Yogurt Took on a Good Hunt for Aquila Rift is the seventh episode of the first season of Love, Death and Robots. Content of the show episode SynopsisEdit Awakening after traveling light years off course, the ship's crew struggles to figure out how far they have come. PlotEdit Episode begins with a cargo spaceship - the Blue Goose - in a line of ships heading towards the gate of the splash point. When the Blue Goose lines up to enter the gate, its captain - Tom - looks outside and laments in line. Ray responds by lamenting his hangover. After Tom checks Ray and Susie, if the ship is ready to enter the gate, they all enter their tanks in preparation for a faster-than-light journey. Tom and Susie wake up on the ship - being moored in a repair complex instead of a destination - and meet Tom's old friend - Greta - who explains that they are in Saumlaki Station in the Shedar sector, that it was a routing error in routing the ship's section, and that arkangel Dispatcher had to crash in their syntax launch models. Susie responds with a grain of salt and tries to get up, but she stumbles and Tom and Greta put her back in her tank. Greta then accompanies Tom outside the Blue Goose and to Somlaki Station. Some time passes, and Tom is now in Greta - now dressed in an alluring night dress - walks towards him and sits on the sofa next to him. They admire the view outside the bar, and she leans towards him to tell him the secret: that she hoped to bump into Tom again after throwing them together four years ago. They then proceed to have sex in Greta's cabin. A little more time passes, and Tom sits on Greta's bed. His mind remains concerned about the events that have piled up. Greta admits she wasn't completely honest with Tom. She admits that they are not actually in the Shedar sector, and that the routing error has taken it far beyond what she originally allowed. She gets out of bed and presents a holographic map, demonstrating that The Saumlaki station is, in fact, 150,000 light-years from Earth. Tom - upset by the news - asks Greta how long he and his crew have been in their tanks. Greta replies that in subjective times they were in their tanks for only a few months, but a few centuries passed at home on Earth. Tom struggles to come to terms with what Greta just told him, and yells at her that he might as well be dead. Greta tells him that he is still alive, and that she ended up at Somlaki station just like he did: a routing error. She tells him that it is always the same routing error, and that she brought everyone to the station. She then invites him to wake up his team from their tanks. Tom wakes up Susie and asks her to remember the last thing she remembers. Susie describes Arkhangelsk in unpleasant terms, then dreams: dreams, as a meeting in which she is now. She notices Greta in the corner and asks Tom who she is. When Tom replies that it's his old friend Greta, Susie immediately counters it, saying it's not Greta. Susie yells at Greta, demanding to know who and what she is, implying that she may be aware of Greta's true nature and the environment of the Blue Goose crew in. Susie snatches the statue from Greta's hands and tries to stab her. Susie manages to scrape Greta's neck with the statue, but Greta successfully counters it by injecting a tranquilizer needle into her chest. Susie is knocked out, and Greta leaves Tom to take Susie back to her tank alone. Back in the cockpit, Tom watches Greta's neck as she sleeps, and notices that Susie's cut has disappeared. He then tells Greta that Susie is right about her, and that she's not really Greta. Greta - realizing that she can no longer hide the truth from Tom - responds to him by telling him that his entire entourage is just a simulation fed to his mind, and that he is still asleep in his tank. Tom demands the whole truth from Greta, who resists telling him that he is not ready. Tom tells her he wants to see the station -- and Greta for what they really are. After a tearful Greta continues to resist Tom's increasingly angry and aggressive demands, she eventually caves in, but not before telling him that she cares about him and that she cares about all the lost souls that end up here. Tom looks into the camera, anticipating the world outside of her modeling. Tom wakes up in his tank and meets the terrifying reality that his body has been in all this time: an alien hive containing several wrecked ships that also ended up there through a routing error. Tom himself is severely exhausted to the point that his skeleton is clearly visible, and his hair and beard have grown to untidy levels. As he silently looks around his entourage and notices the long-dead bodies of his team, he hears Greta calling out of the back of his wrecked ship. He looks inside to see the silhouette of what appears to be a busty humanoid female figure walking towards him before the silhouette comes out and shows Greta in her true form: a giant ant spider alien creature with lots of eyes. Tom loses his mind at the sight of a terrifying-looking alien and shouts at her as she continues to crawl toward him. The alien - seeing Tom's inability to cope with reality, just as she predicted - eventually puts her mind back into her modelling, and in the process, erasing all his memories to the point he woke up in a tank in the simulation. In the simulation Tom is back in his tank. Fluid pours out of the tank, and Tom wakes up. He gets out of the tank and meets Greta again, but in her simulation shape. Tom asks what happened, and Greta lies to him, saying they are at Somlaki station before noting that at least there is a friendly face in a distant station, echoing what Tom said in the previous simulation. The final image depicts Somlaki Station in its entirety. As the camera zooms out, the simulation flickers out to show the station's true shape: a hive surrounded by destroyed vehicles. CharactersEdit Tom - Henry Duthwaite Greta - Madeleine Knight Susie - Rebecca Banatwala Ray - Delroy Brown Arcangel Dispatcher - Graham Fox TriviaEdit Beyond the Aquila Rift is based on a story of the same name written by Alastair Reynolds, who also wrote the original story for Winter Blue. Greta's true form makes an appearance twice in the simulation: through a glass bottle as she sits with him in a bar, and as a shadow against the wall as she tells him he is in a simulation. It is likely that Tom is not the first member of the Blue Goose crew with whom the creature interacted. Based on how Greta manipulated Susie's actions in Tom's mind simulation, Susie may have been the first to interact with Greta's simulations, and that she bases Susie's actions in Tom's simulation. Susie. Susie's body is in remarkably better shape than Ray's, so maybe it hasn't been much time since she died. Philip Gelatt said that he thinks that the intentions of the being are pure and that he wants Tom to be happy. GalleryEdit Below are screenshots of the episode. The title of the graphic behind the Aquila RiftTitle card behind Aquila RiftThe opening shot shows the Blue Goose moving towards the Archagel gate in line. The blue goose is heading to the gates of the Archangel Splash. A long shot from the gate with the ships entering it. The blue goose can be seen in the queue. The camera shows the front of the Blue Goose as it approaches the gate. The viewer first sees the captain of the Blue Goose and the main character of For Aquila Rift - Tom, when he looks out the window in the queue of the gate. Tom continues to complain about the queue as the camera scales in the cockpit of his ship. Ray told Tom they were ready. Tom stumbles upon an old friend. The camera looks at them from afar through a glass bottle. You probably didn't actually look through that bottle the first time you watched this episode. Susie tells her memories of Thom.Greta goes to an increasingly agitated Tom when she tells him who feeds him the simulation. Something is wrong with Greta's shadow... Tom looks into the distance as he tries to prepare for what Greta is about to show him. Tom wakes up and clearly visible the sharp contrast between his appearance. Tom is almost immediately horrified by the world in which he finds himself. As Tom struggles to get out of his tank, the camera pans past the entrance to the wreck that was once the Blue Goose. There the terrible truth will be revealed before us. A very thin and untidy Tom looks at the horrible view that presents himself before him. Tom looks from under the wreckage of his ship. The camera cuts further up, revealing the wreckage in full. The two creatures can be seen moving on the internet, which covers the world. Terrified and silent Tom continues to look around his ship until he notices the corpses of his team. Susie's lifeless body lies in her tank. Her body is in much better shape than Ray's. Ray's body started to decompose. Greta's voice cheers on Tom, who stops looking at the corpses of his team and looks to the left in the entrance of his ship. What appears to be an alien humanoid woman begins to go to Tom. She called him again, but this time her voice was much more distorted. The figure gets closer to the light, but what we're going to see is something really terrifying. The illusion is destroyed, revealing a terrifying alien creature resembling an ant spider much more than a human. The camera cuts closer to the substance, in all its terrifying unglory. Tom's mind can't take it anymore, and he finally clicks. Tom, unable to cope with in front of him, lets out a terrifying cry. The viewer receives treatment to the extreme close-up of her horrible legs! Extreme close-up of her many eyes as she is about to place Tom's mind back into her modelling. The creature had enough of Tom's tantrum and puts him back into modeling. Tom wakes up again in his tank.
