Part 2/10:
We are introduced to two of these workers, Bauer and Cartwright, who awake to the grim reality of their existence. As Bauer, an engineer, stumbles out of his sleeping pod, he feels nauseous and begins checking on the facility’s systems. Cartwright soon follows, revealing a mixture of resignation and melancholy as he sorts through personal photographs of deceased family members longing for the past. While they go about their assigned tasks, a palpable sense of hopelessness looms over them as they learn through grim air quality checks that communication with other facilities is non-existent.
