Jared, as you know, I'm in charge of evaluating each and every one of our candidates and making
sure that we pick the right people to join this project.
Considering the nature of your discharge, I have to question whether you are right for
this.
Everything I ever loved was taken away from me that day, but I have no idea what that
has to do with me wanting to participate in this project.
It's just that I have to be very careful in my selection.
I have read over your file and you do represent a good candidate.
I just like to evaluate face to face and ask a question to get a reaction, but I would
like to welcome you aboard, Jared.
So you just started this week, yeah?
Jared, right?
Yeah, yeah, Jared.
I'm Arnold.
How are you liking it?
Are we treating you well?
It's the best sleep I've had in years.
The visuals, the visuals are beautiful.
I've fallen, I've really fallen in love with it.
I'm glad you like my design.
You design the sequences?
I did.
I'm not a scientist at heart, but a scientist at mind.
Yeah, I like that.
It's clever.
Jared, if you have any questions, I'm your man.
I have been wondering how do the images get from the instrument to the subject?
Well, this could get complicated.
You've asked me one of the only questions I can't plainly answer outright.
I can, however, tell you where the technology started.
Pest control.
The original tech, called V2K, was developed as a sort of electronic scarecrow.
You could send a sound or what would be perceived as sound to the brain of whatever creature
it was tuned to.
Jared, what happened was a fluke, a freak accident.
They're all dead, or in comas, except for me.
A very grave sacrifice for evolution.
Jared, this is a breakthrough.
We're on the brink of making an amazing discovery, breaking new ground in understanding the human
mind.
Do you want all the others to have died in vain?
No, I don't.
That is why it is very important that you stay with us, continue with the project.
Seeing as you haven't stormed out of here, I will assume your continued interest in this.
I have to ask you, though, what is it like?
What do you see in there, in the, what did you call it, the void?
During my time in the service, I saw things that were never meant to be seen.
But in there, while I sleep, I see what could never be imagined.
A personal hell that I escape from every time I awake, only to go on knowing that another
sentence is awaiting when I fall asleep.
In there, I watch eternity go by, with only a wristwatch to keep me company.
I just don't know, I just don't know.
I just don't know, I just don't know.
I just don't know, I just don't know.
I just don't know, I just don't know.
I just don't know, I just don't know.
