In a mining colony prison, dozens of prisoners
are forced to work every day while wearing a
special gadget on their mouths
that doesn't let them speak. When a machine known as the
crusher pit breaks down, a guard calls prisoner Kai to fix it.
In just a few minutes, Kai gets
the machine working again. Suddenly the guards bring
in a new prisoner and everyone is shocked
to see Hatch, the general who lost a civil war against General Lang.
A former rebel stands up
when he sees his general and the guard immediately punches for it.
The prisoner retaliates with a
headbutt and another prisoner uses the chance
to punch a guard as well, throwing him on the floor
to beat him up with his chains.
Sensing a riot coming, another guard activates the crushing pit,
reversing it so that the chains around
the prisoner's leg drag him toward it. The guy
soon falls and is shredded to death in seconds.
At that moment Hatch gives a signal to someone
hidden and a guard is suddenly shot from afar.
Then he teams up with the prisoners to start
beating up their captors. A guard uses
the machine again to activate the other chains,
causing more prisoners to fall into the pit to their deaths.
Once the guard is distracted,
Kai rushes to the machine and tries to stop the massacre,
only for the chain to start pulling
him as well. He grabs a fallen weapon from the ground
and shoots the chain to no avail,
so he has no choice but to lose a leg instead.
While the chains drag away his limb, Kai hops
back to the machine and finally stops it.
A last guard tries standing up and Hatch makes a gun
gesture so the hidden sniper quickly kills him.
Then Kai passes out. Sometime later, Kai wakes up
in Hatch's ship and discovers he was given
a mechanical prosthetic. Hatch uses a device to
remove the prison thing from Kai's mouth
and explains he's been rescuing other rebels to
reform his army and counterattack.
He knows Kai's father, who used to fight for the Rebellion too.
Unfortunately Kai's father has been captured by General Lang
and he'll be executed in a few
months on the anniversary of Lang's victory,
known as Liberation Day. Hatch knows Kai is an
expert pilot, so he offers a deal,
Kai must hijack an important enemy ship to retrieve the confidential
data. If he's successful,
Hatch will pick him up and use that intel to save his father, so Kai
agrees. Afterward Kai is put in suspended animation
and smuggled into the enemy ship called the
arrowhead. In the middle of the trip,
Kai wakes up early as planned and finds a computer to access
the ship's records. On the radio,
Hatch explains that all Kai has to do is plug in the device and
the gauntlet will do all the work.
As Kai downloads the information, a message pops up on the screen
informing him that the system would be vulnerable if he continues.
Kai tells Hatch, who assures him
that it's only temporary and it'll be fine.
A red light turns on but Kai keeps downloading until a
computer announces the systems are offline
and there's unstable electromagnetic activity outside.
it.
Once the download is done, Hatch confirms
that there's an electromagnetic storm outside
is making things unstable, so he asks Kai to send him the files.
Kai starts the transfer, but suddenly the ship shakes
and gets damaged because of its
current vulnerability.
The interference makes the transfer fail
and Kai loses contact with Hatch while the ship
ejects all the escape pods with the sleeping crew.
Kai rushes to the ship's shuttle right before it's expelled
too and passes out when it crashes
on the nearest planet.
When Kai wakes up, he tries to contact Hatch to no avail.
He rushes out of the shuttle and sees
the pods falling all over the planet, but suddenly
he has trouble breathing and goes back inside.
The ship's AI called Reef warns Kai
that the atmosphere is toxic and prolonged exposure
may cause paralysis or death.
Kai looks through the window and sees
the arrowhead slowly falling and asks Reef for
a status report, however Reef requires an employee login to proceed.
Reef does say that Kai needs to find a new source of oxygen
because the one on the shuttle
only has 12% left.
Suddenly a crew member called Oleander sends
a message from his pod, asking any survivors
to meet at the crash site.
Kai grabs an oxygen mask and heads out to check the area.
He finds some parts from crashed pods
and Oleander's body bleeding on the ground.
There's also an intact pod with someone moving inside,
so Kai opens it to find Taryn.
He shares his oxygen mask and takes her back to the shuttle
while Oleander's body is dragged
away by a mysterious presence.
At the shuttle, Taryn logs into the system and shows suspicion of Kai.
Reef does a scan but can't find the arrowhead wreckage,
however Taryn knows the escaped
pods will leave so they should find them before they get stuck.
Kai follows her after failing again to send Hatch a message.
While the duo wanders around, Taryn explains
they're actually on a moon and the planet
is the big sphere they see on the sky.
Eventually they find a research probe
on the ground and Taryn is impressed by how much
the atmosphere has oxidized the metal.
Moments later they find the crashed arrowhead near
a glowing obelisk, which Kai is sure
wasn't there before.
The duo discusses how to proceed since Kai
points out he won't be allowed into the pods.
Taryn realizes he works for Hatch
and mentions that the General was a cruel man who used
raid colonies before the war, killing thousands of people.
However Kai says it's all propaganda
and decides to go back to the shuttle.
Kai takes over the pilot seat and asks Reef to activate the
flying system, but Reef refuses because Kai isn't authorized.
Instead, Kai asks for any updates on
Hatch and Reef plays a confessional tape.
A video shows Hatch after he lost the war admitting all
his crimes, however Kai notices that Hatch makes a weird gesture
and wonders if it's true. He asks
Reef for more information, but it's classified.
At that moment Oleander sends a new message saying
evacuation will start in 30 minutes.
Afterward Kai goes back to Terran and agrees to leave with
her regardless of risk. Terran points out
his clothes will give him away, so he starts taking
off the main parts of the uniform
while something watches from the shadows. Then the duo tries to
reach the arrowhead, only for an earthquake
to suddenly hit the area. Terran turns around and
is shocked to see Kai being dragged away
by something in a cave. She grabs his hands and
tries pulling him out, however she isn't strong enough
and Kai is taken away. Scared, Terran runs
toward the arrowhead but it's too late, the pods have left without her.
Not knowing what else to do,
Terran returns to the shuttle to rest.
Four days later, she's exploring the area and finds Kai's
gauntlet and axe on the ground.
Not far from there, she finds the glowing obelisk and Kai
on the ground covered in goo.
To her shock, his leg is completely healed. She takes him back to
the shuttle and runs some tests,
only to discover he's now in a symbiotic relationship with another
organism that healed him and made him immune
to the toxic environment. Reef keeps on trying to
offer information and an annoyed Terran shuts it up,
reminding it to only speak when prompted.
When Kai finally wakes up, he explains
that he doesn't remember anything, only that he was
asleep. He feels quite heavy yet fine.
Terran points out she can't fly the shuttle either
because she's a biologist,
only certain employees had access to that system. The duo decides to
check the obelisk and Kai hits it with his axe,
discovering it's actually a soft cocoon. Inside
they find Oleander's body also covered in goo.
They carry him back to the shuttle and when Terran
touches Oleander's face with her bare hand, he keeps on twitching.
Kai pulls out some wires to
bring the scanner outside and they scan Oleander's eyes,
which finally gives them access to the
flying system. Kai immediately starts getting the engine ready
while asking Reef about Liberation
Day, learning he still has 76 days before they execute his father.
Terran is shocked to hear he
won't bring Oleander along and realizes she knows Kai,
it turns out he used to work for her father
when she was a kid. She points out that the man she knew back
then would never leave someone behind
to die. Outside, Oleander finally awakens and throws up.
Kai and Terran come out to check on
him and Oleander starts yelling about how Hatch
is going to kill them all. Then he picks up a gun
from the ground and Kai jumps to punch him at the same time he shoots.
After knocking Oleander out,
Kai turns around and discovers Terran is dead.
Furious, he starts beating Oleander up. Suddenly
he freezes because he notices he's been shot as well.
His body starts wriggling and he passes out
on the ground. Sometime later, Kai wakes up near the obelisk,
looking perfectly healed. After
After seeing mysterious lights flying in the sky,
he goes back to the shuttle area and
is shocked to see Terran's and Oleander's skeletons.
He enters the shuttle and discovers the engine is failing,
so he asks Reef for an explanation.
It turns out he's been missing for 34 days,
during which the engine was left running and
eventually burned out.
There are 42 days left until Liberation Day.
Reef also reveals that while Kai was gone,
it detected Oleander's heartbeat in the area,
meaning he's being revived just like Kai.
Curious, he goes to the caves and notices footprints on the sand.
When he reaches out, his hand glows like the obelisk
so he decides to go back.
For the next few days, Kai searches for crashed pods
and takes their parts to fix the engine.
He also retrieves Terran's ID badge.
Reef plays cartoons for him while he works.
One night, Kai wakes up when he hears a strange sound.
Suddenly he starts feeling unbearable pain
and Reef detects an alarming heart rate.
Kai leaves the bed only to fall in agony,
breaking the repairs he's been doing.
Reef points out he may do worse and asks him to leave.
Then Kai runs to the cave and hears
the same weird noise before a terrifying monster appears.
He immediately runs out and falls to his knees
in pain as weird limbs come out from his back,
making him pass out.
Sometime later, Kai wakes up covered in goo again
and returns to the shuttle.
He concludes fear and pain trigger the transformation
and wants to get rid of the creature inside
him.
Frustrated, he starts punching the engine
and mentions Liberation Day, desperate to
save his father.
Unfortunately Reef informs him that he slept
for a long time and Liberation Day happened
two days ago.
A crying Kai goes out and falls on the ground,
accepting his fate is to be stuck here forever.
Three years later, Kai is still living on the moon.
He's trained his body and now whenever he
accidentally hurts himself, he can stop the
transformation before it happens.
In the sky, he can still see the mysterious lights flying.
One night, he sees something glowing inside a helmet and gets excited.
He brings it outside and frees a firefly,
who joins others of its kind to make a beautiful
light show.
When he returns to the shuttle,
he finds footprints outside and discovers Terran's badge is gone.
As he discusses the situation with Reef,
the AI shares a theory, he thinks Oleander has
the same symbiotic relationship as Kai's,
meaning he's been revived but he's stuck in
the monster form.
Reef thinks death is part of Kai's life cycle now,
the bodies die but their consciousnesses
live on in new replicated bodies.
When Reef asks Kai to self-delete
so it can study the body to find a cure, Kai refuses,
saying it's just a theory
and him reviving in a new body isn't guaranteed.
Afterward Kai searches for the Oleander monster
and is shocked to find one of his dead bodies.
He brings it back to the shuttle and puts it up as bait.
When the monster comes close enough,
Kai comes out and finally shoots it.
While hearing roaring in the distance,
he cuts off a piece of the monster and brings
it to Reef, who scans it to confirm this is indeed Oleander's DNA.
It also cross-references dates and points out
the roaring could be heard every time
Oleander or Kai died, which means something
out there reacts to their deaths.
It sounded like a mother mourning her young
and it probably activated the revival process.
Kai doesn't understand much because he isn't a biologist,
and hearing that word prompts
Reef to mention Terran.
When Kai authorizes the AI to share information,
it plays a recording of the night of the shooting.
It turns out Terran had been unconscious,
not dead, and she escaped after Kai died.
The skeleton Kai found later had been his own.
Kai gets angry because Reef never mentioned
that Terran was alive in three years, so Reef
has to remind him he can only share information when prompted.
Now Kai has a new purpose, finding Terran.
He takes parts from the shuttle
and builds a body for Reef so it can follow him around
during the search.
After lots of wandering, they make it to the caves
and Reef tries scanning the tunnels.
However there's a strong electromagnetic interference
that messes with its system.
They decide to follow that weird signal
and Kai starts smelling something weird.
Since it's dark, he asks Reef for something bright
and the AI plays a rather loud video.
Kai has to run to disconnect the sound
but it's too late, the creature comes out of the
shadows and attacks.
As Kai dodges the attack, Reef gets tackled instead,
and the monster goes after Kai next.
It quickly bites his arm
and Kai uses the chance to hit it with his axe, killing it.
At that moment the same roar echoes in the cave.
Kai follows a glow at the back
and finds his original body next to Oleander's.
After the initial shock,
he covers Oleander's face and suffocates him out of mercy.
This kills his beast as well.
Now Kai should do the same to his body, but he can't.
Instead he retrieves his prosthetic leg
and goes back to searching for Terran with Reef.
Eventually they find the spot where Reef last
sensed Terran's heartbeat and Kai can tell
something launched on that ground, which means she managed to escape.
At that moment Reef's screen starts failing again
and Kai realizes his prosthetic leg
is causing it. He checks inside and finds a pulse grenade,
meaning Hatch asked him to
send him the files through the gauntlet
because he never intended to pick him up. Suddenly
the lights in the sky start crashing on the ground
and Kai rushes to check on them only
to discover it's the escape pods,
which doesn't make sense because they left three years ago
and he saw them in the sky every day.
This prompts Reef to share some classified information.
This moon is under an experiment for time dilation.
Time passes fast here because the
general wants a way to manufacture weapons
and soldiers quickly. Years pass on the moon
while outside it's only been minutes.
At that moment Kai sees a ship approaching so he gets
the research probe ready.
The ship lands and Hatch comes out with a guard. He did receive Kai's
messages and it took him just 20 minutes to come,
but for Kai it was years. Kai realizes it was
Hatch who shot down the arrowhead and the pods
because he wants to use this moon for his own
army. He tells him all the information is in the shuttle,
but Hatch knows he's lying and knocks
him out. When Kai wakes up, he's chained up in the shuttle
and discovers they have Terran too.
When Hatch threatens to kill her,
Kai tells him he hid all the intel inside the research
probe.
Then Hatch goes looking for the probe
and once he finds what he wants, he activates
the grenade in Kai's leg.
However Kai expected this and put
the grenade inside the probe, which now explodes.
At that moment Kai's body starts glowing
and he fully transforms into the monster form.
The guard tries to shoot him down, but Terran tackles him to stop him.
As Kai gets too close to Terran,
Reef appears outside and calls for him.
The creature bursts out covered in blood
and destroys Reef at the same time Terran comes
out.
meaning the blood belongs to the guard.
With sweet words, Terran reaches out to the creature
and tells him he can control it.
The beast steps back and soon Kai returns to his human form.
He returns to Terran and together they grieve for Reef.
Suddenly a heavily wounded Hatch appears
and starts shooting at Kai before stabbing him.
Kai uses his monster strength to grab Hatch by
the neck and allows a creature limb to come out to kill him.
Afterward the duo manages to reactivate
Reef and they escape in Hatch's ship.
Meanwhile near Hatch's body, a roar can be heard. Make sure
