[The ESD team see the white sphere recovered from the Van de Graaff crater suddenly come online and speak English.]
David Levinson:
Why are you here?
Sphere AI:
When I intercepted their distress call, I knew they would come to exterminate you. I came to evacuate as many of you as possible. But you attacked me with the same weapons that they used on us.
Levinson:
They attacked you?
Sphere AI:
Correct. [shows hologram of a Harvester ship and a planet] A harvester ship conquered our planet and extracted it's molten core. They used them to refuel their ships and grow their technology. They've done this to countless civilizations. We fought them for thousands of years. But they destroyed all of our ships. I, am the sole survivor.
Dr Brackish Okun:
I am so sorry to hear that. Do you have a plan?
Sphere AI:
My system holds the key to superior technology. And there is a hidden planet where I teach refugees from other fallen worlds how to build weapons that will defeat them once and for all.
Dr Catherine Marceaux:
That's why they're afraid of you. You're the only ones who threaten their existence.
Sphere AI:
Correct. But now that I'm activated, the queen will detect my signature and hunt me down.
Dikembe Umbuntu:
It's too late. She's already on her way.
Thomas Whitmore:
Yeah. She's coming.
Levinson:
And what would happen if, if we're able to kill her?
Sphere AI:
No one has ever killed a harvester queen.
Okun:
That's encouraging.
Sphere AI:
But as a hive, her fighters will fall and her ship will leave your planet, recalled by other harvester queens. But it's too late now. You must terminate me or she will get the coordinates to the refugee planet. And that will be the end.
