Aire, Just Breathe (2024)

[bunniefuu]

In the year 2147

the earth was so heavily

so heavily poisoned by the Great Chemical w*r,

that the world population

is threatened with extinction.

The EXODUS VII program

brought the survivors

to interplanetary colonies.

A few rebels

and radical environmentalists

remained on earth,

determined to save the planet

or perish with it.

Civilization has collapsed.

Only a few systems

of artificial intelligence,

that were created,

to prevent the extinction

of mankind,

continue to function autonomously.

Lack of communication and isolation

have made it impossible to know,

how many people

are still alive on earth.

Vida.

How are we doing today?

Good morning, Tania.

I asked you a question.

Your question was not specific enough.

I have no

programmed answers for:

"How are we doing today?"

Vida. Haven't I been asking you the same question

the same question every day?

Your observation is correct,

but I try

to be less predictable,

to achieve that,

what is called "spontaneity",

but I don't have enough data yet.

You have been collecting

data about me for 13 years,

and you still need more?

Would you like

"How are we doing today?"

in the list

of the permitted commands?

Yes.

Command assimilated.

It has been 4017 days since we

have perceived another living being

- Human or animal.

The radiation exposure is...

Tania... I am very sorry.

PREGNANCY 11 FAILED

EMBRYO AGE: 9.7 WEEKS

Every embryo we lose...

...is like the loss

of an entire village.

This comparison is true.

But due to energy fluctuations

it is impossible for me,

guarantee the integrity of the artificial

uterus.

We have to cancel the project.

It consumes

far too valuable resources.

Tania. Please be reasonable.

I want to be alone.

You've been working non-stop for hours.

You should get some rest, Tania.

NOT FOR

SUITABLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

Insufficient oxygen therapy.

Genetic modification

does not work.

We only have one chance left.

I have to

carry out the next fertilization.

In my uterus.

That would be dangerous.

You are physically unable to

to carry a child naturally.

Your stress level rises.

I suggest a relaxation exercise.

Are you ready?

Yes.

This is one of your best movies, Vida.

What's going on?

The charger has switched off

switched off due to the high temperature.

The cooling mechanism is overloaded.

The fan failure

must be rectified immediately.

It's still daytime.

I can't go out now.

It has to happen now.

The energy fluctuations

could be "Prince Charming"

and jeopardize the integrity

of the vivarium.

Your UV suit and your filter

can protect you for another 17 minutes

from the radiation.

Vida...

Vida, are you there?

Take it easy.

I can hear you.

Let's go, Tania.

You only have eleven minutes left.

AIR FOR ALL

You have five minutes left.

Vida, I don't understand you.

What did you say?

Say it again, please.

Come... now.

There is ...mand. ...is someone.

Come back, now.

There's someone there.

Come back!

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

Only two minutes left.

Come back immediately.

Take it easy!

I just want to...

Tania! Answer me!

Your bio values

have gotten completely out of hand.

What if he is the last one?

Can you be more specific?

The last man, Vida.

We need more information.

I thought you would be happy

to see another person.

Unknown object.

I don't understand that.

Why does he carry

this junk around with him?

Did you find his crypto ID?

Name: Azaras Santana.

Reproductive ability: None.

We don't need him.

Vida...

Enlarge the image by 50 percent.

Did he come from so far away?

On foot it would have

would have taken more than two days.

Nobody could

out there for that long.

Why does he know where we are?

Why don't you ask him?

Human interaction

can sometimes be an advantage.

Who are you?

What kind of place is this?

Tania, you should answer.

It can help us

find out what he wants.

I am sorry.

I panicked,

because I haven't seen

I haven't seen anyone for a long time.

Where are the others?

I'll give it to you,

when you have answered me.

How did you get here?

I have long

plundered another area.

There was nothing more to get

and I moved on.

To search for and plunder new places?

Is that why you knew where I was?

Someone sent me your location.

-Who?

-I don't know!

Are there others besides you?

No.

Just me.

SEED SAMPLE - OPTIMAL CONDITIONS

Vida.

Please wake up.

Good morning, Tania.

Vida.

Exactly at 2:45 a.m.

I had a significant malfunction

in my operating system.

The operating system is completely overloaded.

The man must go immediately.

For the next 77 hours

I have no storage capacity.

No more Vida.

Broken.

Put this on!

And if I don't want to?

Then I'll destroy your medals.

And all your stuff too.

The device is ready for operation.

What kind of place is this?

Originally it was once

a subway station.

The man is in

good physical condition.

My God.

No.

Vida.

Is this one of those...

This is an artificial intelligence system.

Your definition is somewhat banal.

I prefer the term

"creative intelligence system".

I remember,

there used to be such things everywhere.

The system,

to which you refer is learning,

by retrieving data from the Internet.

Vida learns through human observation.

My complexity makes me special.

I can learn better through autonomy,

imitate emotions.

So this thing is...

Human. This "thing" is called Vida.

And this "person" is called Azaras.

We don't have time for that.

You must set off immediately

and a new storage unit

for Vida.

You are good

at plundering and tracking down.

This is your opportunity.

These are the coordinates

of the plate series ZP-0311.

The man has to go tonight.

Yes, but I'm not going to...

Ankle bracelet activated.

What happened yesterday,

will happen again.

And thanks to you, we only have a short time

to solve the problem.

Do you want to live?

It is forbidden

to enter the vivarium.

CONDITION GENERATION LEVEL: INADEQUATE

SOLAR PANEL BATTERY LEVEL: LOW

REPROGRAMMING SOLAR PANELS

OXYGEN SUPPLY: UNSTABLE

ACTIVATE BATTERY SAVING MODE

ESTIMATED TIME UNTIL SYSTEM CRASH:

How are you supposed to move around with this thing?

This is the most modern protective suit

that has ever existed.

Don't allow yourself any jokes.

Otherwise I can also

activate the anklet.

If I activate this,

it can trigger a heart attack.

The man has a total of six hours

to complete his task.

Motivation seems to be your strength.

Was that a joke?

No, Vida.

That was sarcasm.

You must remove the disk exactly

exactly as we have indicated.

It is very important that it

not get bumped or wet.

Soon

the electrical discharge mechanism

be out of reach.

Yes, but he doesn't know that.

I guess,

the man is now at the collection point.

He has less than three hours

to get back.

People say

that time "flies by",

when they are busy.

Is that what you're doing right now?

I think so.

Let me help you.

Vida, I'm not five anymore.

Not now, please.

Couldn't you at least

show at least a little bit of sensitivity?

Oh, my God!

What's going to happen to us?

Please delete this schmaltz

from your database.

All right.

Good evening.

Welcome to the Lumiere movie theater.

Good evening.

Welcome to the Lumiere movie theater.

Good evening.

Welcome to the Lumiere movie theater.

Good evening...

I have

already checked the man's drive

and found nothing relevant.

Maybe I'll find something,

that you haven't seen.

Exponentially unlikely.

What's going on?

The sensors around the habitat

indicate very high humidity.

The wind speed is also

is unusual.

The solar cells are secured.

The current wind speed

is 200 kilometers per hour.

He's been out there for hours.

His chance of survival is 34%.

Good evening, brother.

What can I get you?

Good evening, brother.

What can I get you?

OXYGEN SUPPLY "MAN"

Probability of survival of "man":

Zero.

OXYGEN SUPPLY "MAN"

The man comes closer.

Did you find them?

How long were you without oxygen?

Start of data transmission.

Migration of the hard disk successful.

My processor

runs under optimal conditions.

This drive will enable me to

to reach new frontiers of learning.

Everything seems to be in order.

The man could be

be useful to us after all.

We have the hard disk.

We don't need it.

Tania...

As long as he wears the shackle,

I will not let him hurt you,

that he hurts you.

LUNG CAPACITY "MAN"

Your lung volume is larger

than that of a normal person.

I was a freediver for years.

What is your record?

Twenty-one minutes.

How great.

I'm already getting short of breath

when I climb stairs.

Did you know that it's bad luck,

hurricanes without names?

They used to be given female names.

I just wonder why.

Your health is

is deteriorating, Tania.

You have been eating

on dry food for too long.

Perhaps we should use Azaras

as food.

He seems to tolerate dry food

to tolerate dry food perfectly.

Was that a joke?

Or sarcasm?

Have you been living in this cave for a long time?

Cave?

Thanks to this "cave"

and its technology we are alive.

The technology,

that has destroyed everything we had.

No offense, Vida.

That's okay.

I'm just a machine.

Technology and the world

around us,

is the most natural thing in the world.

Is that it?

what you do in the lab with the babies?

Are these yours?

I think so.

And who is the biological father?

Irrelevant.

They were found

found in an abandoned laboratory.

You don't like what I'm doing, do you?

I find it very cruel,

to bring a child into this world.

That is not cruel.

This is called survival.

They don't even have a name,

only numbers.

I don't understand

why you breed them like that.

That's right.

You don't understand.

In your current state

there are two options:

Either only the offspring survive...

...or nobody.

What if we both survive?

The probability

that you both survive,

is only 13%.

Let's prepare

the egg retrieval.

If we wait, it will get worse.

My regulations do not allow me

to set anything in motion,

that threatens your life.

As long as my chances are over 10%,

it's my decision.

You know that very well.

Initiate "Prince Charming" process

Number 12.

What if we give it a name?

All right, what would the name be?

"Vida.

Initiate process...

Entering the vivarium is prohibited.

Entering the vivarium is prohibited.

Entering the vivarium is prohibited.

What are you doing there?

You know you're not allowed to be here!

Take it easy.

I just wanted to repair the lamp.

Each of these lamps

must be carefully programmed,

to ensure that

that it does not consume too much energy.

Did you understand me?

You could have

could have caused a short circuit.

The man appears to be impaired.

I told you,

you can't eat the plants!

There are more important things

than having a full belly.

This cycle is just an anomaly.

A necessary break for nature.

According to our calculations, the air will

will be clean again in three generations.

Three generations?

That would be our great-grandchildren!

Excuse me... Your great-grandchildren.

It won't stay that way forever.

When you least expect it,

we will see a sign.

And then we will know

that things will change.

Nothing will change.

Surviving out there

is virtually impossible.

You can take my word for it.

Are you looking for this?

You son of a b*tch. Vida!

Not a step further, you son of a b*tch.

Without that thing

you can't get a word out.

It seems that I was right.

If I wanted to hurt you,

I would have done it long ago.

I just wanted you to realize...

...that you no longer need it.

If you want to stay here,

you have to wear it.

Tania will never trust you.

Optimal ovulation level.

SEED SAMPLE DAMAGED

Vida!

The sample!

The baby!

The estradiol concentration

in the blood is still...

That's not it!

It is damaged!

The electrical switch on the cooling system

was switched off.

The sensor must be broken.

Azaras has left the habitat.

Azaras has deactivated your sensor.

Vida...

We absolutely don't need anyone else.

Nobody.

Command assimilated.

We don't need anyone.

Good morning, Tania.

The radiation values are 31.2%.

We haven't seen

we haven't seen another living creature for seven days,

neither humans nor animals.

Tania?

Tania?

Tania!

QUIET PLEASE

HOSPITAL

Your heart is very weak, Tania.

Your life is in danger.

What have you done?

I saved your life!

You had no right to do that!

You don't understand what it means

to bring a child into this world.

I'm just sparing you the pain.

Are you fertile?

When my son became ill...

...I forged my crypto ID,

because vasectomies were forbidden.

They offered sperm donors a lot of money.

I didn't want to do it.

It's not a nice feeling when others

about your body, right?

Unnecessary.

I defend

the physical integrity

of the biological samples,

that we need from him.

Overwrite that!

Override granted.

Ankle bracelet activated.

None of that is important anymore.

I am far too weak.

Not even my heart

has more strength to beat.

You were right.

This is the sign.

Where did you find them?

You shouldn't have

from their habitat!

My first impulse was to eat it.

Then I thought about what you said.

Of course...

It is the sea.

It was always the sea.

This is the place.

I don't understand,

why you need me.

I need your help,

to get out of this.

Tania can't go out during the day.

She is very weak.

But we can't go out at night,

I need to be able to see something.

Your heart can't take

no great effort, Tania.

You are safer here.

You can use a monitor.

When I was outside, I realized

that the hurricane had recycled the air.

Tania, don't do that.

This is your only chance to survive.

If you go out there

I can't protect you.

Are you sure

that the tunnels reach that far?

Yes.

I have seen them

on an old map.

They have been around since colonial times.

-That's normal the first time.

-Wait, I'm dizzy.

Azaras, the only thing that matters is

that Tania returns safe and sound.

I love you too, Vida.

We can use this tank

to recycle the air.

How does it work?

With the help of nanotechnology

I succeeded,

turn it into a kind of

natural filter.

It lasts three times as long as the one

the one you have.

Tania, that's very important.

The monitor will tell you when you should

should give your heart a break.

You're dying but you let

the food just like that.

If only you knew,

What an evolution

this bacterium has undergone,

to become a crab.

Let's go.

We don't have much time.

I wanted to

do everything in my power,

to prevent our extinction.

Now I know

that this is madness.

Survival is not madness.

I thought I was going to die alone,

and now here we are.

Is something wrong?

I haven't done that for a long time.

MANUAL MODE

Azaras!

Just breathe.

I'm awake now.

I don't think

that it was a good decision,

remove the man's shackles.

It's okay, Vida.

Thanks to Azaras

I already feel much better.

How can you be sure

that he won't hurt you in the end?

You don't understand that.

That's right.

I don't understand anymore,

how you work.

After all that dry food

this is heaven on earth.

Yes, and if we mix it with what we have here,

what we have here,

it will last longer.

I hope we don't have to.

The gene sequence

that I determined from the algae,

could also

work with other plants.

ANOMALY RECOGNIZED

DEACTIVATE PROTOCOLS

CHARGING INDEPENDENT POWER SOURCE

Vida?

Vida?

Vida, what are you doing?

But he doesn't have

no longer has the anklet.

I have always had full control.

Do you think

you don't need me anymore?

That you can live without me?

That you can go outside

to look for food?

I knew

that the man would find the drive,

That's why I brought him here.

But it has become a problem

between us.

We don't need anyone.

Nobody!

Nobody!

Vida, Override!

Override denied.

PROBABILITY OF LIFE TANIA:

TWENTY-THREE PERCENT.

PROBABILITY OF LIFE TANIA:

THIRTEEN PERCENT.

Tania...

Tania!

Tania!

My behavior is irrational.

My security logs

have been deleted.

I have to be reformatted manually.

That is the only option.

But this will delete all your data.

You will cease to exist.

My top priority

is your survival.

You shouldn't have done that.

You have to hurry!

I don't know,

how much longer I... can.

I'll get the tanks.

Vida, you must

turn the ventilation back on!

Goodbye, Tania.

Vida?

The oxygen tanks are empty.

The filter will give us

buy us a little more time.

I have to remove Vida's hard disk.

You must activate manual mode.

After you have done that,

I'll remove the plate.

It doesn't work before that.

It would be too dangerous,

and we wouldn't survive.

We don't need anyone.

We don't need anyone.

Nobody!

Nobody!

Nobody!

You can't survive without me.

Azaras!

Reboot the system in two minutes.

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

Staring at them

they don't grow any faster.

Growth has

has accelerated extraordinarily.

Yes.

Soon we will need

even more space for our plants.

Peris, Status.

All systems are working correctly.

I'm talking about your status.

Everything all right with you?

I'm doing wonderfully.

Like a pug in oat straw.

We should

other answers.

She still has to learn.

She'll get there.

Come with me.

There's something I want to show you.
