When we were children, we were taken from our home planet, along with over a hundred of our people, subjected to an experiment on board that ship. What kind of experiment? We were drugged, put into pods that linked our minds. The experiment was designed to see if the collective human consciousness could solve problems better than computers. Who did this to you? Originally, it was a corporation called Electus. Originally? Hey. Several years ago, a group of us rose up. We killed the Electus crew, took the ship. I don't get it... If you took the ship... The leader of the rebellion was a man named Hansmeed. He convinced most of us that our survival depended on continuing the experiment. He said it would be on our terms. Let me guess, ended up being on his. I couldn't accept it, so I escaped.

Electus discovered that some of the people on our planet had a genetic mutation. It gave them enhanced levels of what they call C.P.A. Cognitive Predictive Ability. Everyone has it to some degree. Most people call it "Intuition." "A gut feeling." Like when you feel someone behind you before you turn around. It's a long way from a gut feeling to accurately predicting where a ship is going to appear in the galaxy. Well, that's where the machine comes in. That room you saw, with all those people. They're linked together to form a collective consciousness. It's horrible. It's like drowning in an ocean of a thousand voices. You can't block them out. So they give you the drugs to make it easier. Well, it also helps the Seers access their subconscious minds, and link them to the collective. "Seers"? It's what they call themselves. The Seers go into the machine, and then they feed them data, huge amounts. The galaxy is awash with information. It's everywhere. It's just a matter of tapping in. And if you analyze enough data, you can predict the future? It's calculating probability. Nothing more. So they knew I was on this ship. They have my criminal records, known associates. And they calculated the most likely place you'd go to sell the drugs. Why didn't they see us coming when we attacked their ship? I saw it coming. But I manipulated the data stream within the collective. You can do that? Milo is the most talented Seer they have. They're working with old data. They're making calculations based off of previous behavior patterns. They thought you would abandon Nyx, not help her. Well, if that's true, they probably don't think we'll go back for Three and Six then. Except you did help us. That'll affect the model. What do they want? They want Milo back.

Do you mind if I ask you a question? About the future? Yeah, sort of. See, all of us are trying to figure out what we should do next. Not just about you, but everything. And what do you think? I think we could make a difference. But that's crazy, right? 'Cause we're just a bunch of misfits on one ship, and most of the time, we can't even get along with each other. Well, you'd be surprised about that too. What do you mean? Well, all our predictive models suggest that a major paradigm shift is coming. And the most likely scenario is all-out corporate war within the next six months. Oh, my God. I know. It sounds bad. But you have to understand something. It's times like these, when longstanding patterns are disrupted, that things become more fluid. That's when a small group of people, or even a single individual, can change the course of history.


Next time, they're gonna see us coming. Yeah, how do you fight an enemy that knows the future? Look, I'm sorry, but knowing we're coming doesn't necessarily mean they'll be able to stop us. I'm sorry I didn't get to analyze the history of your planet. Would my knowing what will happen change the outcome? Sometimes it does. I factor that in. What will the Seers do next? Short term, they plan to acquire more ships. Enslave more people. Eventually, they plan to build an entire fleet. If they get that far, they'll be unstoppable.
