THE MACHINE


Valentina Zykov Peck


Zykov and Peck discuss the progress that's been made to bring him home.


Transcript:
Zykov: --I hope you understand now what is at stake, my friend. The Forsaken. It wields a dangerous power.
Peck: Yeah, no kidding. Valentina nearly cost us all our jobs.
Peck: That, and, uh, almost destroying the world.
Zykov: Next time we will not be so lucky. He has seen a demonstration of your capabilities. He will not make the same mistakes again.
Peck: Hey, with any luck, we'll have him making all new ones. Thanks to you.
Zykov: So your commander has signed off on our proposal?
Peck: Not just yet. But I'm making progress. We'll have you home before you know it, as agreed.
Zykov: And in turn I will honor my part of deal and help you kill the Forsaken.
Zykov: You have received my schematics? For the machine.
Peck: That and the piece you built yourself.
Peck: Listen, Zykov -- I need to level with you. This is going to take some time to construct.
Peck: Your design... it's a technical feat. I've never seen anything like it. It's... overwhelming. This will take time to wrap my head around.
Zykov: Your transparency is why I know you are the perfect man for the job. You respect the science and difficulty of the task.
Zykov: Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. You are wise not to treat this lightly.
