Clips from Love, Death & Robots - Swarm (S03E03)

"We shall miss your conversation"
Love, Death & Robots
"on the rest of our voyage, Dr. Afriel."
Love, Death & Robots
"And I yours."
Love, Death & Robots
"Our exchange of information has been extremely valuable to me."
Love, Death & Robots
"Humanity is the kind of race"
Love, Death & Robots
"we enjoy doing business with."
Love, Death & Robots
"Young, eager, flexible."
Love, Death & Robots
"But we do not understand the profit you seek in studying the swarm."
Love, Death & Robots
"They are merely well-organized animals."
Love, Death & Robots
"Hmm. Well, we humans learn wherever we can."
Love, Death & Robots
"Dr. Afriel."
Love, Death & Robots
"Per our transit contract, we shall return in 600 of your days."
Love, Death & Robots
"Dr. Afriel."
Love, Death & Robots
"Welcome."
Love, Death & Robots
"Dr. Mirny. An honor to meet you."
Love, Death & Robots
"And I you."
Love, Death & Robots
"It's good to see another human face."
Love, Death & Robots
"And please, call me Galina."
Love, Death & Robots
"-What? -Don't be alarmed."
Love, Death & Robots
"It will convey your pheromones to the queen."
Love, Death & Robots
"Otherwise, you might be considered an invader and killed."
Love, Death & Robots
"I followed your study of the Swarm with tremendous interest, Doctor."
Love, Death & Robots
"But I had no idea you'd learned to communicate with them."
Love, Death & Robots
"Not exactly."
Love, Death & Robots
"I found no Swarm castes that use language,"
Love, Death & Robots
"but several symbiote species still do."
Love, Death & Robots
"I call these springtails."
Love, Death & Robots
"I believe they were once a spacefaring race"
Love, Death & Robots
"who discovered the Swarm and were absorbed by it."
Love, Death & Robots
"But now they are little more than parasitic savages."
Love, Death & Robots
"So far, I've identified 15 unique symbiotic aliens"
Love, Death & Robots
"living among the hundreds of specialized castes native to the Swarm."
Love, Death & Robots
"Various strains of nutrient-rich fungi are the hive's main food source."
Love, Death & Robots
"Since our basic biochemistry is similar, it's perfectly edible."
Love, Death & Robots
"I've learned to solicit food with a pattern of reflex tapping."
Love, Death & Robots
"Fermentation in the worker's gut…"
Love, Death & Robots
"…adds nutritional value."
Love, Death & Robots
"Makes it taste better too."
Love, Death & Robots
"Mmm. It's wonderful."
Love, Death & Robots
"Tunneler."
Love, Death & Robots
"It can take us further into the Nest."
Love, Death & Robots
"The queen."
Love, Death & Robots
"Heart of the Nest."
Love, Death & Robots
"Whatever caste of worker is needed,"
Love, Death & Robots
"she can create it."
Love, Death & Robots
"The entire Nest is a wonder of genetic automation."
Love, Death & Robots
"It is truly amazing."
Love, Death & Robots
"Warrior caste. Very deadly."
Love, Death & Robots
"But only if you mean harm to the queen and her eggs."
Love, Death & Robots
"Dr. Afriel, I think it's time you told me exactly why you're here."
Love, Death & Robots
"As you've discovered,"
Love, Death & Robots
"the Swarm is a near-perfect organic system."
Love, Death & Robots
"With a resource like this, we can bring order to the chaos of human expansion."
Love, Death & Robots
"We must harness its power."
Love, Death & Robots
"Exploit it, you mean."
Love, Death & Robots
"If order is what you want,"
Love, Death & Robots
"look around."
Love, Death & Robots
"It's always warm, it smells good, and there's plenty of food."
Love, Death & Robots
"This Nest has been here for millions of years."
Love, Death & Robots
"Who will remember humanity in even a thousand?"
Love, Death & Robots
"Even though I won't live to see our race triumph,"
Love, Death & Robots
"it's enough that I can foresee that day."
Love, Death & Robots
"Arrogance."
Love, Death & Robots
"These creatures are primordially innocent, Doctor."
Love, Death & Robots
"They should never become pawns in some power struggle light-years away."
Love, Death & Robots
"But we only need the genetic information from one egg."
Love, Death & Robots
"With that, we can grow our own queen."
Love, Death & Robots
"Her offspring will build a new nest."
Love, Death & Robots
"They would be useless"
Love, Death & Robots
"without the Nest's pheromones to control them."
Love, Death & Robots
"Mm. Artificial vein."
Love, Death & Robots
"This slipped past the Investor quarantine."
Love, Death & Robots
"Inside is a selection of the Swarm pheromones we synthesized"
Love, Death & Robots
"based on your samples."
Love, Death & Robots
"If these work, we could control millions of workers."
Love, Death & Robots
"Armies of warriors."
Love, Death & Robots
"-You are planning to breed a slave race. -We could--"
Love, Death & Robots
"You said yourself, they aren't sentient."
Love, Death & Robots
"They're organic machines."
Love, Death & Robots
"It's not as if they'd be staring up at the stars pining for their freedom."
Love, Death & Robots
"It's true."
Love, Death & Robots
"Whether they work for us or the Swarm will make no difference to them."
Love, Death & Robots
"And that is the beauty of the idea, Doctor."
Love, Death & Robots
"As long as no harm comes to the Nest…"
Love, Death & Robots
"I'll help you."
Love, Death & Robots
"We'll need to test the synthesized pheromones"
Love, Death & Robots
"with a series of trials."
Love, Death & Robots
"First vial contains the most basic pheromonal commands."
Love, Death & Robots
"A simple grouping stimulus."
Love, Death & Robots
"But to work most effectively,"
Love, Death & Robots
"the pheromones need to be combined in a chemical program."
Love, Death & Robots
"Gather, then dig."
Love, Death & Robots
"Grow food here, then harvest."
Love, Death & Robots
"-Or retrieve one fertilized egg."
Love, Death & Robots
"We humans are not so very different."
Love, Death & Robots
"Adrift on ancient chemical tides."
Love, Death & Robots
"Submerged in the warm ebb and flow"
Love, Death & Robots
"of life."
Love, Death & Robots
"What is it?"
Love, Death & Robots
"Food-giver no good. Not feed."
Love, Death & Robots
"Take me to her."
Love, Death & Robots
"Come on then, you mindless motherfuckers!"
Love, Death & Robots
"Galina?"
Love, Death & Robots
"I have no name,"
Love, Death & Robots
"but you may address me as…"
Love, Death & Robots
"…Swarm."
Love, Death & Robots
"I am one of its castes."
Love, Death & Robots
"My specialty is intelligence."
Love, Death & Robots
"We… we mean you no harm."
Love, Death & Robots
"We seek only knowledge and--"
Love, Death & Robots
"You sought to breed us."
Love, Death & Robots
"Use us."
Love, Death & Robots
"But your crude experiments"
Love, Death & Robots
"triggered certain genetic protocols,"
Love, Death & Robots
"and I was born."
Love, Death & Robots
"I am only a few weeks old,"
Love, Death & Robots
"but I have millions of years of racial memory."
Love, Death & Robots
"You are clearly an intelligent being."
Love, Death & Robots
"Surely we can find a way to--"
Love, Death & Robots
"Please, Doctor, I'm just a tool."
Love, Death & Robots
