e to bounce ideas off of [Applause] it's your turn i'm aware but still thinking about the box i need other pieces to make sense of it what is the point of separate teams to decipher parts of the same hole bureaucracy it's not our call to make we just do the best we can with what we have but we could be helping each other i could understand wanting to keep it all apart at least until we know exactly what it is but there's more than one language if any of us can break even a single word it'll prac
tically become a rosetta stone they said pertinent information would be shared among groups i think they just want tighter control over the results pertinent it's all pertinent the thing is i don't know if ours is an energy source a container or a cog but i do know that it's somehow communicating with us or the other pieces [Music] [Music] anyone try to talk with the other groups i mean emails texts anything and risk termination literally they monitor all that stuff and you know it we're lucky t
hat they let us leave the facility i'd hardly call it luck this whole place is why i got cameras and bugs even if i can't find them then why the hell do we meet here well where else are we going to meet it doesn't matter anyways we're no closer to deciphering the missions and we are the text well we can't even figure out how it's marked in the first place laser etching inscription nothing it's like every word was formed at the molecular level what if they were whoever made these pieces they don'
t think like we do or at least you don't produce like we do cryptography aside what if we're coming at this thing from the wrong damn angle study from the molecular level to figure out what it does and what it says they have scientists for that yeah scientists were not allowed to speak to it's worth a try in the end they won't care how we get results so long as we do that's new you don't usually play poker still having a hard time with your project i know i know you can't tell me about it i like
her man she's a keeper i prefer mine online every woman should have a off switch wish i could it's still pretty rough but we'll get there eventually well don't stay up all night again and shave if you ever want to kiss me again i will i promise no offense but i would hit that with the wrath of an angry god how can i possibly take offense to that [Music] anyone else itching i swear that thing is making me all itchy more like your so-called girlfriend is making itchy you do know if you pay her sh
e's not considered your girlfriend right this coming from a guy whose own mother won't kiss him now we sisters a different matter [Laughter] do you suppose we're furthest along now i doubt if anyone else knows about the molecular structuring let alone the communication between cells they're probably still asking the wrong questions it's not what does it say how do we open it anymore the real question is what happens when we put all the pieces back together if we're right no freaking way we're no
t we all saw the patterns change then we're dealing with that sentient life artificial or otherwise [Music] has to be artificial there's no living tissue not in the sense that we know it but by the scientific definition of life having a few beers are we beautiful and perceptive you're a lucky man just a few don't bother she only likes humans you okay you look like you haven't slept in days and now this talking i'm sorry about that i'm fine really i'm just i'm trying to wrap my head around this p
roject without the pressure of supervision and interruptions you've never had this kind of problem maybe i can help you relax no no i'm sorry it's just i'm on the verge of something i need some time alone i'll make it up to you later assuming we finish we will finish and once we're done i'll take some time off and we'll go up to your parents kevin promise to get some rest tonight and clean all this up and shake you know you could always tell her that's not even an option you're asking for troubl

t popped up and we brought this fear through they were like biorhythms those readings were inconclusive inconclusive the things broke in my [ __ ] head yeah but they can't tell that from the readings we just need to stay calm oh no [ __ ] calm man they're gonna kill us and just take our work and pass on to the next team you watch too many movies yeah maybe you don't watch enough [ __ ] up i can't hear myself think why don't we just wait till tomorrow go in like nothing happened what if that's ju
