[THOMAS] Okay, so what do you think life was like before the fall? I mean we´ve seen pictures of open land as far as the eye can see and oceans incomprehensible in size that our grandparents would do their best to describe it. I just can´t imagine life anywhere but inside a space station. I mean the simple concept of a sky doesn´t even fully register...
[KAI] We do have fields on the Babel station and also—
[THOMAS] Yeah, yeah—but that´s all synthetic. I mean we´re heading to this planet right? That we call "Paradise", because we hope it can sustain life. Why?"
[KAI] Because we´ll eventually run out of resources
[THOMAS] Exactly! I mean what if we got there and it´s exactly as the data predicted: beautiful, lush—then we destroy it just like we did Earth? There´s only 5 million human beings left in the universe. I mean, it´s weird to think about the fact that in 2065 the last footprint was left on Earth before ascending to Babel.
[KAI] Man, what´s your point?
[THOMAS] The point is, 30 ships have traveled in deep space looking for a planet like this. Damn near all of them return without any luck! Some of them didn´t return at all. I guess my fear isn´t that we won´t find Paradise: it´s that we´ll create purgatory...
