The Questions Presented, fellow students of the human condition, are: Will a man fall in love with an android on a 5 year space mission if that android is not built, shall we say, anatomically correct And if the android is, in fact, rendered into a perfect, anatomically human woman, how could that man not have fallen in love with the android during that time And how would this conflict with his mission profile and the directive that she must be abandoned if injured, or left behind abruptly at the end of his mission time So many questions. Not answered here, but a beautiful, thoughtful film nonetheless.

I have to say I thought the storyline could have been improved. He's willing to risk some very advanced vastly different alien culture that's already destroyed his outpost getting access to the rest of humanity on the other side of the portal because of his feelings towards this android I'm glad she self-destructed to save mankind. I think a better ending would have been to have him be wise enough to agree with the android, then emit his primal scream after she did the right thing.
Also, that android had the best popka ever designed into an artificial being.

I've been looking for one of Dust's other shorts, or at least I'm pretty sure it was Dust. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, even if you can only give me a clue, PLEASE help!
SPOILER ALERT. for this other video I'm trying to find again)
I remember it was about a ship in orbit around a planet with rings, that didn't used to have them. The only other details I remember clearly is the ending, where one of the characters, having used an escape pod, finds himself among thousands of other copies of himself escape pod, which make up the planet's rings.

Neural Link Port is such fantasy. For some reason, humans tend to speed up and start acting impatient, basically more like robots than patient listening, communicative beings. More like response tapes with zero thought just keyword bologna. Interesting paths to the future of technology, yet lacking and more dangerously, canceling out herds of circles and groups. Keyword dance via social media by those 'human hackers' is very disturbing and disruptive. I hope the future is more than just response times.

Just food for thought, but a civilization that can make a female android that not only self-aware, but capable of genuine emotion and forming true attachments doesn't NEED to decommission them. That civilization is advanced enough that it can transfer their android consciousness to a genetically engineered organic body, and would take steps to limit their artificial intelligence units specifically to avoid having that issue. Just planting seeds for the sequel.

I used to love my Father's collection of old Sci Fi magazines - Astounding and the like. I feel like Dust is their equivalent in 2022.
This story is outstanding - simple, but effective. And when the credits rolled and I felt a little disappointed at the incompleteness - well, you got my back, as they say!
Thank you.

Ok, so it's the 10th time I've watched this short (I'm a sucker for a good sci-fi story. But waiting for the continuation of the story. Part II, in his space travels, Gordon comes upon an unfinished, unused android body, Aria transfers her sentient consciousness inside, finishes the work, and. Take it away!

Always amuses me when somebody uses a weapon, then drops it afterwards, still can't figure out the logic in that.
Otherwise that wasn't bad at all and has potential for something bigger.
Does anyone remember the film of the same title in 2008, that was a well made survival horror, on a low budget.

Elevating the twisted and perverted to the level of normality: a sad and accurate take on the disconnectedness of a tech obsessed society. So. do blow-up dolls and steely-dans now have rights as people, because the lonely and rejected can't get a date

i usually like the short films on dust and i like this one. however, ther is a bit of dumb behavior. waiting for the thing to make a move and not get away, was only for the sake of the film.

Well, after all that exposition in the opening minutes, you knew Gordon would be one of the last things she said. Still, very nice. Creative, mostly well-written, decently acted and nicely shot. 3. 8/5.

I've been binge watching these Dust shorts, and all I gotta say is this: No more dead robots.
This was a beautiful story, but if I keep tearing up every 15-30 minutes I'll get severely dehydrated.

Lovey-Dovey, Kissy-Kissy space operetta. The girly robot didn't act like a robot, only a girly. Ummm. .. a rather flimsy premise to base your space odyssey on. Good technical work though.

Good film. His grief was palpable I felt it. She downloaded herself into his head. Well when he says he can hear voices, it’s really true.
The acting was magnificent!
