This is first contact.

Let's get to work.

Establishing subject baseline.

All vital signs are normal.

Put me through.

There's no need to be frightened, Isaac.

There's no need.

Isaac. You know that's a biblical name?

Yes, sir.

God said to Abraham, "Give me your son,

"show me you are willing to sacrifice the one thing

"most precious to you," and Abraham was willing.

You know what's always impressed me about that story?

It isn't Abraham's sacrifice. It's Isaac's.

Now, I don't know what kind of God would ask that of someone,

but it doesn't change anything for me.

Isaac is still the hero of this story.

Look around you. Look at the world.

What do you see? War, poverty,

a planet on the brink of collapse.
