"Is this an android? I've never seen this kind of model before..."
"Maybe it's some abandoned project?"
"I don't know Number 4; why would they even keep it alive if it's abandoned? "
"You are probably right. It seems like this unit is hibernating...should we wake her up? We can really use some help now."
"Captin! We've got incoming!"
"Already? Whatever, let's get going!"
"What about her?"
"Forget about her! We've lost 12 units already! Let's go before we all get annihilated by machines!"
"Her mouth is moving! Do you think she's talking?"
"I think she's dreaming."
"Dreaming?"
"Yes. According to the records, humans would sometimes talk in their sleep while dreaming." A machine says.
"I don't think she's a human Pascal. However, I've never seen an android like her. What is she?" A young woman with white hair responds.
"Here, maybe I can get some out by hacking." A young man with white hair adds as he projects a beam onto Sunset.
"Is everything ok?" The woman asks.
"I...can't hack it! It doesn't work on her!"
"Well, I've never heard of a humanoid machine before Adam and Eve. And looking at the hibernation chamber, we know that she's older than those two." The machine says.
"Hi, Pod, analysis chamber." The woman says to a floating box-like robot next to her.
"Analysis complete. Conclusion: this chamber was last reconstructed in 5100." the Pod responds.
"5100...It was constructed almost 7,000 years ago!" The young says, touching the glass on the chamber: "Just who is she..."
"Negative. This chamber was last reconstructed in 5100. Its actual age is unclear."
"Wow, that's unexpected." the young man turns around and looks at the machine: "By the way, Pascal, how do you find this location?"
"I learned about it from one of the old world documents you give me. " the machine shrugged its' shoulder: "It took some time to translate. It was written in Old-World English."
"What does it say exactly?" the woman says, giving the young a look.
"Here, this is the original one and the translated one." the machine hands them two copies of the document.
"So...the last hope of humanity?" The young man asks while looking at a copy.
"Yes, this is what I got."
"Hi, Pod, can you translate the original document here and now?" the young man says,
"Forget about it. Her eyes are open!" the woman says while taking a defensive position.
"She's...touching the glass?" The young man says: "She's measuring things out with her hands!"
"Is she blind? Why would you navigate everything hands when you have eyes?" the woman asks.
"I think she is blind, at least for now." the young man says, waving his hands towards Sunset: "See? She's not responding to me!"
"Should we break the glass?" the woman says as a pair of swords appears behind her: "She's pounding on it."
"So much for the last hope of humanity," the young man adds as he projects a beam of light from his hand onto the chamber: "What the...There's some kind of truth algorithm placed on it. I can't hack this thing."
As they speak, the glass wall suddenly popped out and fell to the ground.
"Watch out!" the young man managed to catch Sunset before she fell.
"I think she's trying to say something," Pascal says, moving closer to Sunset.
"I don't think she can talk," the woman says: "Her mouth is moving, but she's not making any sound."
"Wow, you are...light. Can you walk?" the young man asks as he helps Sunset to sit down.
"She's doing it again," the woman says: "Her mouth is moving. I think she is trying to say something."
"Sorry, I can't hear you. You'll have to speak up a bit." the young man asks as he leans closer.
"Guys, she's making some kind of gesture." Pascal points out: "I think she's trying to tell us something!"
"Pod, analysis her gestures."
"Analysis complete. Conclusion: the unit in question is using sign language. She is trying to say: Thank you. My name is Sunset. I can hear, but not speak or see for the moment." the Pod explains.
"I see. Can you walk?" the woman asks.
"Ok, easy there." The young man says as Sunset tries to stand up: "Wow! Ok, we get it. Just relax. 2B, I don't think she can walk."
"She can ride on my back," Pascal offers.
"Actually, I think she needs to rest a bit." the young woman, named 2B, comments as Sunset nods in agreement.
"Ok, resting it is." the young man says: "By the way, my name is 9S, nice to meet you."
"I'm 2B."
"And my name is Pascal!"
After a brief introduction, Sunset starts to write things down on the ground with her finger.
"She's writing something down!' 9S says: "It's in Old-World English. Pod, translate her message!"
"Analysis complete. The unit, known as Sunset, wants to know what year is this."
"Um, interesting." 2B asks: "Say, Sunset, can you really understand us?"
Sunset nods.
"It is a bit weird when I think about it." 9S adds: "It's year 11,945. Just by the way, what year are you from? Does everyone back then talk like us?"
Sunset nods as she writes down 2025.
"What the...are you an android?" 2B asks.
Sunset shakes her head while writing more sentences on the ground.
"Analysis: Sunset wants to know whether there's a cure for White Chlorination Syndrome or not." the Pod says.
"The what?" 9S asks: "Sorry, Sunset, I am not getting what you are trying to say there."
Upon hearing 9S' response, Sunset gives a sigh of relief.
"Are you a machine?" 2B asks.
Sunset shakes her head.
"Then are you a..." 2B pauses for a moment: "Nevermind. Are you feeling better?"
Sunset nods before making another attempt at standing up.
"Wow, easy there!" 9S says: "Easy, there's no need to hurry. 2B, I think she's having some problems with core function."
"I see," 2B responds: "I can carry her on my back."
Before their departure, Sunset writes down another sentence, one that went unnoticed: Are you replicant?
