Of course, she’s trusting The Company with actually paying the money to take the head, send it to Earth, give her a totally new- undoubtedly beautiful upgraded body. BUT, since the company happens to be Weyland-Yutani…..what could Possibly go wrong?

[Kreachie]

Oh i get it, The head is cryo-frozen and probably retrieved by a drone and sent back up to the spacecraft that she came from, once it automatically sets course back to earth and her head is retrieved? It’s put on a new cloned body, so she’s technically not dead, at least her head isn’t.

That’s grisly but clever.

in order for the claim to be valid, the "flag" and the person who planted the "flag" must report to the "corporation" and finalize the transaction. the federation's laws doesnt specifiy how much of a person. So they give her a new body when she is collected from the retrieval ship that in orbit and Bring her(head) back to earth.

[christhesmith]

She be heading for trouble!
Heyyyy yo!

[MPeaches]

So they went all out to design the helmet for survival, but not the rest of the suit?

[assault_banana]

The concept of the suit is so gruesome and cool at the same time, I love it.

[AstroPilotchannel]

I like how they had to send a human to put a stick in the ground😂

[williamthalman]

Ooooh .. medusa

Thats some grisly and dark foreshadowing

[DiMethylMercuryKSP]

Damn, this really shook me a bit. Incredible concept and execution. Loved the fail safe design of beginning the process by removing that pin. Felt so much more immersive than a stupid red button.

[looneybergonzi]

Reminds me of the spacesuits in 'The Forever War' by Joe Haldeman. Say an appendage is crushed (as happens to the protagonist) and one of many irises in the suit lops off said appendage and the suit relases painkillers to the occupant. I think I'd rather wear of of those suits than this one. 😂

[lulubeloo]

Love it! The reattachment surgery must be insane, would love to see a part 2 of this!

[mjohnson]

Very "Ship of Theseus" meets "Ghost in the Shell".
Well made. Congrats.
That would be a hard job to take.
Many metaphysical ontology questions.
What is "you"?
Your head? Your brain? How much of it?
Why not just your cerebrum? Don't need a spinal stem, hypothalamus nor cerebellum without a body!
At what point is it no longer you coming home?

If you go to Vebus, but only your head comes home, are you the same person?

[man]

Superbly done, short, sweet and as different as you get.

[Carnutzjoe]

I can see an army of volunteers, people with cancer, etc., who’d love a second chance!

[sohovulture]

Absolutely brilliant. So much said in such a short time

[iPhoneMarc]

Damn, it's been a long time since I've been this surprised. Who got such an idea ? 😳

[argonnas]

wow. that was way too cool to not be extended into a short film, at least 10-12 minutes!!!

[jerome]

Did you know : This entire episode has been made without any CGI. °W°

[minusED]

Wow that is ASTONISHINGLY cool! It might be even better as a music video, given the length and the story. Still absolutely awesome as it is! Just wow. Mind-blowingly good. I felt like kid and it's priceless.
