Radio is medium.
185
00:10:22,751 --> 00:10:25,584
Sulfur is triboelectric.
186
00:10:26,168 --> 00:10:27,126
[gasps]
187
00:10:28,501 --> 00:10:29,668
That hole…
188
00:10:30,251 --> 00:10:31,751
[whooshing]
189
00:10:31,834 --> 00:10:33,293
[Martha] It's like a highway
190
00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:36,168
into her mind.
191
00:10:46,126 --> 00:10:47,084
[Martha sighs]
192
00:10:47,709 --> 00:10:48,543
I just…
193
00:10:49,876 --> 00:10:50,793
[weakly] I can't…

[inaudible]
196
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:12,209
[Burton] Yes, yes.
"The marble index of a mind forever…"
197
00:11:19,584 --> 00:11:22,668
Voyaging through strange eons of thought
198
00:11:23,584 --> 00:11:24,418
alone.
199
00:11:45,084 --> 00:11:46,918
[music fades]
200
00:11:47,418 --> 00:11:49,668

-[computer] Oxygen levels critical.
202

-Oxygen levels critical.
-[Martha gasping]
203

-[computer] Oxygen levels critical.
-[Martha coughing]
204
00:11:56,084 --> 00:11:57,876
[computer] Oxygen levels critical.
205
00:11:57,959 --> 00:11:59,501
Oxygen levels critical.
206

207
00:12:10,459 --> 00:12:11,418

-[electronic warbling]
-[alarm blaring]
210
00:12:19,001 --> 00:12:19,834
Io.
211
00:12:20,793 --> 00:12:21,751
Are you there?
212
00:12:23,501 --> 00:12:24,334
[Io] Yes.
213
00:12:25,168 --> 00:12:26,459
Did Burton go…
214
00:12:28,126 --> 00:12:28,959
in there?
215
00:12:29,834 --> 00:12:30,668
[Io] Yes.
216
00:12:31,293 --> 00:12:32,543
[alarm blaring]
217
00:12:32,626 --> 00:12:36,043
[computer] One minute
until critical CO2 levels reached.
218
00:12:39,459 --> 00:12:40,459
[computer beeps]
219
00:12:40,543 --> 00:12:42,168
[melancholy music playing]
220
00:12:42,251 --> 00:12:43,626
[Io] Throw self in.
221
00:12:44,376 --> 00:12:47,709
Physical configuration will be destroyed.
222
00:12:47,793 --> 00:12:51,043
Neural configuration may be preserved.
223
00:12:51,543 --> 00:12:53,793
Maybe death, maybe life.
224
00:12:55,126 --> 00:12:56,209
Join with me.
225
00:12:57,251 --> 00:12:58,084
Io,
226
00:12:59,876 --> 00:13:01,376
if you're a machine,
227
00:13:03,334 --> 00:13:04,918
what is your function?
228
00:13:07,459 --> 00:13:08,709
[Io] To know you.
229
00:13:09,209 --> 00:13:10,293
[sighs]
230
00:13:12,751 --> 00:13:13,751
[computer beeps]
231
00:13:21,751 --> 00:13:24,001
Maybe I'm gonna live forever.
232
00:13:27,209 --> 00:13:29,834
Or maybe this is just one last dream
233
00:13:31,418 --> 00:13:32,584
before dying.
234
00:13:33,459 --> 00:13:35,459

[Martha] Earth station.
237
00:14:45,709 --> 00:14:46,709
Come in.
238
00:14:50,334 --> 00:14:52,376
This is Martha Kivelson.
