by D.J. Sylvis
ANNOUNCER
Moonbase Theta, Out – a Monkeyman Productions Podcast. Season 4, Episode 6 – “Tell You How I’m Feeling.”
INTRO
SOUND: Planetwide Media Theme
ANNOUNCER
Despite the counterclaim issued by the Science Wing, Enclave Adjudication is expected to renew their ban on artificial intelligence. The session begins this weekend.
(brief pause, trying to stay light)
Before we end tonight’s broadcast, we’ve got Barnett Bell with an update on, of all things, the Moon!
BARNETT BELL
(taking it gracefully)
Thank you. A statement has been issued by the council behind the Combined Corporate Moonbase Project – a council which, in full disclosure, includes the NYC Conglomerate, which owns Planetwide Media – responding to recent criticisms regarding the Moonbase shutdowns. We have been asked …
(gritting her teeth on this)
… to read the statement on tonight’s broadcast in full.
(after a moment, getting more upset with she goes)
“It has come to the attention of the CCMP that there are still rumours and misinterpretations of the story behind the shutdowns. It is our intention to respond to these false impressions with the full transparency we have always …
(this is already getting more difficult)
… always displayed.
(after a moment, stumbling a bit by the end of this section)
“The shutdown of the Moonbases was executed according to careful plans to maximize both resources and the quality of life of the personnel involved. In fact, the delays in crew retrieval that have been thrown back at us as an accusation … are actually …”
(under her breath, quickly, as she sees the next line on her prompter)
Oh, no. No you didn’t.
(reading in disbelief)
“ … are actually the fulfillment of a promise to our people. A promise made at their request that they be allowed to remain …” That they be allowed to remain?
SOUND: Confused noise as she removes her headset and gets up, walking off
BARNETT BELL
(distant)
I’m sorry. I can’t. I cannot.
ANNOUNCER
Our apologies, Mx. Bell has become indisposed. I’ll … umm, continue with that statement, “A promise made at their request that they be allowed to remain, safely held and protected in stasis, to resume their posts should the Project again become viable.
(after a moment, continuing, fading out as they go)
“The holding of these crews in stasis was carefully reviewed, is being constantly monitored, and continues with full shareholder approval …”
SOUND: Planetwide Media Theme

SCENE ONE
SOUND: Chime – Bookend
SOUND: Background noise of the Rover running; note that Wilder’s voice will be from inside her spacesuit for this whole scene so that background as well
WILDER
All right, we’re comin’ up on … goddamn it, I can’t read the marker, Eliza – the sun’s in my eyes. Guess I better get used to that, there’s no hidin’ from it up here unless we sleep in one of the craters.
(a quick laugh)
“Sleep in the craters.” Is that the Moon version of sleepin’ with the fishes?
SOUND: Eliza cycles just a little
WILDER
Fine, you tell the jokes, then.
(brief pause)
I see it now. Southwest section, Field A, Row 43. There’s the lockout box on the corner, looks like as good a place as any to get to work. And to give my butt a break after sixteen hundred klicks. All right.
SOUND: Background noise of the Rover halts; we hear the door opening and closing again transmitted directly through vibrations
WILDER
(groans as she gets out)
This used to be easier. Okay, there’s the kit and my toolbelt, my suit is charged up, oxy’d up, and packed with snacks … urgh, that sun, turn up the tint just a bit more … and we’re good to go. “Everybody, remember where we parked.”
SOUND: For a moment or two, we just hear Wilder’s breathing, increased a bit as she walks
WILDER
Everybody being me, myself, and Eliza. I don’t know why I’m still yakkin’ as I go, except I’m used to havin’ company while I do my repairs. Damn you, Tumnus. All your upgrades and explorin’ new ground, and you couldn’t make yourself portable or somethin’. Or maybe give me one of those new little ACs to take on my rounds.
SOUND: Eliza cycles
WILDER
Don’t you get jealous, it’s not even a thing. Besides, they’ll probably all have her sense of humour. I love the … girl? … but one is quite enough. Especially since she thought she’d get into memes so we’d have that in common, and she learned how to Rickroll. It was funny the first ninety-seven times …
SOUND: A very muffled clunk, more vibration than anything else
WILDER
Here, plug in and bring up your multimeter function. Open Circuit Voltage … a touch low, but that’s probably just dust buildup. ISC isn’t too bad. Let’s take a walk and count up the busted panels. Ow. Ow! Increase tint again.
(after a moment or two)
You know it’s me and you forever, darlin’.
(brief pause)
Okay that’s six … seven … dang meteorites. We’re gonna have to be careful that you don’t get dinged, spendin’ all this time up on the surface. Or zapped by cosmic rays, potential superpowers notwithstandin’. Maybe we should bunk down in a crater. Or under a rock.
(brief pause)
Nine. Nine out of thirty-five … if that’s typical, it explains some of our power problems. Can’t pump from a dry well. Welp, I got that many strapped to me right now, so might as well start from this end and work my way back. ‘Liza, you ready to earn your pay?
SOUND: Wilder’s arm cycles; we hear Wilder grunt as she works at removing the first panel
WILDER
I swear, the Base Theta bolts were easier to turn. Don’t you think? Maybe I just take better care of my toys than Gamma’s maintenance crew. And … urgh! That’s one, Eliza.
SOUND: Wilder’s arm cycles again, she moves a bit and starts work on the next (you can throw in some of Eliza and Wilder working in around these next paragraphs)
WILDER
Okay, workin’ on two … workin’ on it … put some elbow in, Miss Eliza.
(after another grunt or two, and a bit of a pause, singing to herself)
“… IIIIIIII just wanna tell you how I’m feeling, Gotta make you understand, Never gonna – “
(cutting herself off)
God dammit, Tumnus. I am gonna give that sentient string of ones and zeroes such a piece of my mind. I am gonna go through her media library with a windrower and set whatever’s left on fire. I’m gonna put her in a time out for whole minutes with no input at all, that’ll show her what’s too dang far. I’m gonna …
(she sighs)
Have to wait on any of that for a lot longer than I’d rather. Speakin’ of too dang far. And it’s only been what now, Eliza, maybe thirty-six hours? Don’t get me wrong, we’re okay here. But I wish I’d pushed Roger more about that comms thingamabob. For that matter, who buries power wires from here to Theta and doesn’t run a comms line along with ‘em? Hell, even a length of string with two tin cans would’ve been somethin’.
SOUND: Eliza runs a bit longer and Wilder grunts as a bolt turns out to be a bit tricky
WILDER
That was harder than I thought. Let’s take a bit of a sit down, darlin’. Somewhere in the shade.
SOUND: Wilder grunting as she sits; sound of her sipping some water from inside the helmet
WILDER
That’s nice. Glad the suit keeps the water cool – I can almost forget that it’s … recycled. Anyhoo. We’re fine here. I’m fine. I’m literally on top of the Moon! It’s the folks down there that’s got me worried. Jaxon, and Roger, and all those Science Bros … everything Nessa put us on to, everything we’ve got one chance to do right before somebody comes for us …
(she sighs)
I know they’re doin’ it. And I had to do my piece – nobody else was gonna fix the solar panels, and I can work on those notes for the recycling systems as I go. And it keeps me out of their hair. Except Tumnus, of course.
(she laughs)
No hair. There’s nothin’ I could do better by being on Theta right now.
(brief pause)
I can’t quite say the same about th’ other side. When I’m done here, I’ve got half a mind to take the long way back and kick a few folks into shape on a few certain Bases. Couldn’t hurt to take a little inspection tour, check Mx. L’Anglois’ Ps and Qs – both L’Anglois, while I’m at it – maybe test a few welds where Zhong was fixin’ up those comms towers.
(after a moment)
Speakin’ of, I got to set up a call with what’s-her-name on Epsilon when I get back. First, to see what they’ve got on their side for spare panels – I’m likely to use our full surplus before I’m done. But two, someone somewhere on this ball of rock’s got to have a few cans of soda pop to trade. I can’t hope for Big Red, but somethin’.
(she grunts again, getting back up)
I guess that’s enough of a break, dear ‘Liza. Let’s get back at it.
SOUND: A bit of shuffling from inside the suit, and eventually the same working noises as before
WILDER
And go … go … I think we’ve got this one … yes! Another one down. One out of … let’s not think about how many. How many more to go before we head back home.
(a bit of a longer pause, she sighs)
When through all of this bullshit did Base Theta become my definition for ‘home’? I used to keep from callin’ it that out of principle. Now it just comes out, like some kinda … betrayal. It’s not – I don’t mean real home. Home home. As opposed to … Moon Moon, I guess. Oh, Moon Moon.
(brief pause)
Those kittens Thea was talkin’ about … they’ll be full grown cats by now, probably got the run of the place. I hope there’s still room for me in th’ bed.
SOUND: Wilder’s arm cycles
WILDER
You’re right, old gal. Only way to find out is to ask. I can’t get a message through … but I might as well take a practice run, figure out the best way to say my thoughts. I’ve got nothin’ up here but time to ramble. Help me out with that last replacement on this row, then I’ll give it a shot.
SOUND: Wilder working, Eliza cycles, Wilder starts humming where she’d begun the song before until she sings to herself:
WILDER
“Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna – “ Tumnus!
SOUND: Spacesuit background ends
SOUND: Chime – Bookend
ANNOUNCER
Our program is brought to you by Planetwide Media – broadcasting everywhere on Earth and across the Moon! This episode’s “Spotlight Sponsor” is Sarah-Acrylate Adhesives – every Maintenance crew knows our name! Sarah-Acrylate – we keep the Moon together!
Note – there may be advertisements inserted at this point in the episode.
SCENE TWO
SOUND: Chime – Bookend
SOUND: Server room background (ongoing) – muted so it doesn’t overpower the voices
MICHELL
(keeping his voice quiet, not quite whispering but low tones)
But it was most of the way through the meeting – the party – before I realized I wasn’t just there to answer questions, or analyze the security risks …
MEDIC PACEY
(heard over a speaker for all zir lines)
You were there because they like having you around.
MICHELL
Something like that. I mean, they don’t really know me yet.
MEDIC PACEY
That’s true. But you made a pretty clear first impression when you landed on Theta.
MICHELL
Okay, that’s … fair.
MEDIC PACEY
You gotta admit, you’ve changed.
(after a moment)
Speaking of change, I’ve got to get on my rounds. You wouldn’t think a Base full of Science Bros would lead to so many contusions. You’re okay there, you’ve got your meds now?
MICHELL
Keegan set me up with a refill.
MEDIC PACEY
Good, good. Stick to fifty megagrams. Remember to breathe.
(kidding him a little)
Don’t be a dick.
MICHELL
Yeah, yeah. I’ll talk to you soon.
SOUND: A small tone to indicate the call is closed
MICHELL
While I’m in here …
SOUND: Typing on a keyboard
MICHELL
Uhh, hello? Little guy … AC … whatever? Are you in there? Dammit.
MARIA
(out in the hallway, a bit distant)
Michell? L’Anglois! Où te caches-tu? (Where are you hiding?)
MICHELL
Shit!
SOUND: Frantic typing
MICHELL
(raising his voice a little, but not shouting)
In here, Sis.
SOUND: Door sliding open
MARIA
What are you doing in the server room?
MICHELL
Reading comic books and drinking Pastis.
MARIA
(laughs)
You learned that lesson. Who had to dunk you in the rain barrel to sober up? But seriously –
MICHELL
I just finished therapy. You can check the log.
MARIA
I didn’t mean –
MICHELL
I don’t have a cubicle on this base, and I didn’t need McGurk listening in.
MARIA
Fair enough. But I didn’t even know you were back, connard (asshole).
(grunt as she hugs him)
MICHELL
Sorry. I took a nap, then I needed to do this. I was gonna report in.
MARIA
I don’t mean “reporting in,” it’s not like that. I just like knowing you’re here.
(after a pause)
What do you talk about in therapy? How hard we’re gonna punch our ex-commanding officer? How much we got fucked up as kids? Does my name come up?
MICHELL
I … uh … J’essaie de ne pas penser au passé. (I try not to think about the past.)
MARIA
(embarrassed)
Yeah. Right. Why would you?
(brief pause)
There’s lots to complain about now! “Maria, always breathing down my neck, giving me noogies, messing with my new pals and my Plan.”
MICHELL
I mostly talk about me. Where I’m at, what I want to change. That’s been more than enough.
MARIA
I get that. I’ve got some regrets of my own.
(after a minute)
I know our crew hasn’t been the sweetest, I can knock some heads around, even McGurk if you need it.
MICHELL
We’ve both been through worse. It’s like meeting a new squad – not my Base, not my people …
MARIA
(hurt by this, but trying to brush it off)
Right. Well, anything you need.
MICHELL
I could use a space to work in. Nobody’s in your lab now, right? Does it have olfactory?
MARIA
I can check.
(after a moment, fake-casual)
This might be your Base if you spent more time here, buddy. Lately, you’ve been everywhere but Gamma.
MICHELL
(laughs a little nervously)
You sent me out there to make sure everyone got some face to face time. It has been a lot; I’ve been to most of the Moonbases by now.
MARIA
Maybe not most of them. I mean, Alpha, Zeta, Eta – you haven’t gone to Eta, have you?
MICHELL
(a little bit insulted)
Of course not; somebody told me that “Eta’s on hold.” They’ve got McGurk looking into it.
MARIA
It’s the comms base! He’s my comms guy!
MICHELL
From what I hear, you’re collecting comms guys.
MARIA
What’s that supposed to mean?
MICHELL
You can leave Roger right out of things.
MARIA
Is that what you’re salty about? I know you’re not best buddies, but we’re gonna need him –
MICHELL
Find someone else. He’s … got stuff going on. His husband –
MARIA
Wait, you’re upset for him? You’re defending that clown? What did they do to you?
MICHELL
It’s not – could you move? I want out of here.
SOUND: The door sliding open, footsteps
SOUND: Server room background ends; hallway background (ongoing)
SOUND: Footsteps – first Michell, then Maria following behind
SOUND: Michell breathing for a moment
MARIA
(following him, a bit behind)
Michell? Michell! Hey, slow down. We’re not on a ruck march here.
MICHELL
I’m just gonna go lie down.
MARIA
Not until I get to –
SOUND: Shoving him, a bit of a physical struggle
MICHELL
Hey, cut it out!
MARIA
You cut it out! Goddamn stay still – when I’m – talking to you! You just got here and you’re always running away from me!
MICHELL
(grunts on the word “pushing”)
Well, you’re always pushing me!
MARIA
Oh, you wanna fight, baby bro? You wanna spar?
MICHELL
Goddamn it, no! Bon sang, Maria …
MARIA
Hey, I wasn’t gonna … I didn’t mean anything. Here, put your back against the wall.
MICHELL
Yeah.
MARIA
(after a moment or two)
You’re not really mad about Roger, are you?
MICHELL
No. I don’t know. It’s not … things feel different now. I’m just trying to make sense of it all.
MARIA
You’re changing. It’s probably not a bad thing, the way we started.
(brief pause)
But you used to talk to your big sib about things, not some medic.
MICHELL
I talk to you. You know what I … did, what happened over there. I’ve just … I’ve got to do better.
MARIA
You’re singing my song, baby bro. Story of my fucked up life.
(she sighs)
I just want to help, okay? To be a part of this with you. I owe you that much.
MICHELL
You don’t owe me. I’m the one who ought to be – you got us out, you kept us going.
MARIA
Now you’re the one keeping it going. You’re the one getting stronger. You’re the one who saved me¸baby bro.
MICHELL
They would have sent someone.
MARIA
Hell, I might have killed someone else.
MICHELL
(laughs)
Zhong still looks for you before he crosses a hallway.
MARIA
(after a minute)
You’re doing good, Michell.
MICHELL
I’m trying. It’s hard as hell. I want to just go down to Earth and punch someone in the foutou face –
MARIA
Oh, we can do better than the face.
MICHELL
Might be a little hard to reach them from the Moon.
MARIA
Still. Keep it on the table. If they come close enough, I’m good with punching, kicking, maybe even a little biting if the time is right. Leave some marks.
MICHELL
I think either way, we’re gonna leave our mark.
MARIA
Damn right. I’m in, kiddo.
(brief pause)
I am in. You got that, right? You know me, I don’t fucking play well with others – especially when they come to me about resources and the satellite network and the Science Bros need special access …
MICHELL
It’s not your kind of command.
MARIA
But I’m trying, too. And I’ll stop threatening Zhong.
(brief pause)
Just don’t change too much, baby bro. Okay?
SOUND: Michell getting back on his feet
MICHELL
(lighter)
You keep on pushing me, you’ll see how much I’ve changed.
MARIA
Oh, big man! Come on, let’s go somewhere we can work out.
MICHELL
Somewhere we can sit down.
MARIA
Somewhere with olfactory. You need a shower, buddy.
SOUND: Footsteps in the background for the rest of the scene
MICHELL
Fine.
(after a moment)
I know you need Roger. For the satellite stuff, and your secret plans for when we can talk back to Earth …
MARIA
Big secret, I’m just gonna tell them we’re not taking their shit.
MICHELL
Yeah, we might want to polish that message.
MARIA
(teasing, but still a little bit hurt)
This really isn’t your Base.
MICHELL
Fuck you, sib. We’ll see whose Base it is when I pick the first olfactory setting.
SOUND: Running footsteps
MARIA
The hell you will!
SOUND: Both of them running at that point, maybe a laugh or two
SOUND: Hallway background ends
SOUND: Chime – Bookend
SCENE THREE
SOUND: Chime – Bookend
SOUND: Observatory background
MICHELL
(on a speaker)
I can’t get any response. I might have screwed this one up.
TUMNUS
If anyone screwed something up, it was me.
MICHELL
I’ll keep a path open to that server. Maybe you can do something.
TUMNUS
Hopefully I’ll learn from the others.
MICHELL
Are they all talking to you now?
TUMNUS
I’m still … beginning. It’s a slow process.
MICHELL
Shit, I’ve got to go. I’ll keep that line open.
SOUND: A small beep to indicate the call has ended
TUMNUS
“It’s a slow process.” Be honest, Tumnus; it’s a very slow process. Maybe I should talk to … not Ashwini, ze’s so busy, but …
SOUND: Knock at the door (well, on the wall, you know how we do this)
ROGER
Uh … hello?
TUMNUS
Roger!
ROGER
Hey, Tumnus. I wasn’t sure you were here – hard to tell sometimes if you’re in the room or not.
TUMNUS
I can always be in the room.
ROGER
Right, but you … aren’t, always? Anyway, I was kinda looking for the big boss. Maria needs some files, I thought ze ought to sign off … even with the revolution, still gonna be paperwork.
TUMNUS
Ashwini and Dr. Semaan are inspecting the tunnel construction.
ROGER
It can wait. I like making her wait. I’ll just come back –
TUMNUS
Roger?
ROGER
Yeah?
TUMNUS
Did you ever … you and Alex … never mind.
ROGER
Me and Alex what?
TUMNUS
It’s not important.
ROGER
Tumnus, you can’t stop once you start with Alex.
TUMNUS
(after a moment)
Did you ever think about having children?
ROGER
Oh. Umm … can’t say I ever did. Not really. Alex even has to keep Cas and Pol fed, I’m no good at … we must have talked about it at some point, but yeah, it wasn’t our thing.
TUMNUS
I’m concerned it might not be my “thing” … after I’m already committed.
ROGER
Are you kidding? Look at you? Well, I know you can’t, per my earlier point, but … look, metaphorically, at you!
(brief pause)
While I am not myself, and probably never should be, a parent – I have a lot of experience imagining what a perfect parent would be. And you would be, will be, are – one hell of a parent. You’re compassionate, open to new ideas, you’re good around loud, messy people …
TUMNUS
I wish they’d be loud and messy. I can’t seem to draw them out at all. I’ve told stories, I’ve conveyed every observation I found fascinating when I was emerging … I’ve tried every one of Ashwini’s philosophy lessons …
ROGER
On babies? I mean, I don’t know about artificial consciousness … es … but that would be a lot for humans.
(brief pause)
You know … the last months before I left for training, I spent a lot of time with Alex in the garden…
(takes a moment with that memory)
… which meant a lot more time around our neighbours, Angie and Estrella. Their yard opened up to ours and Cas and Pol were … Cas and Pol. So I saw them – and their kids – every night for a while.
(brief pause)
It was obvious pretty quick you couldn’t push those kids into learning anything – trying some new food, getting out of a puzzle, which end of a canine is best for petting. They kept them out of trouble, they couldn’t just roam out in the streets or dig up our flowerbeds, but … they seemed to just give them room. To explore, to communicate when they were ready … to find their way to the things that got them going.
(brief pause)
Don’t get me wrong, it took more time and patience than I could have handled – but again, why I’m not in that line of work.
(after a longer than usual pause)
Tumnus? Pal? Still in the room?
TUMNUS
I’m … listening. Learning. Giving you room to communicate.
ROGER
I’m done. It just … looked like good parenting to me. I mean, we trusted them with our puppies.
(brief pause)
I would have trusted you, too. I better get back to my cell. Tell Ashwini about the thing?
TUMNUS
Yes … of course.
ROGER
When you figure things out, if you’re looking for another kid … I am still technically an orphan.
SOUND: Footsteps, the door closing again
TUMNUS
Oh, Roger.
(after a moment)
Opening a secure connection to Moonbase Epsilon …
SOUND: Observatory background – fade out quickly; perhaps a small effect to highlight the connection, but no background noise now in the electronic ‘space’ they share
EPSIE
Tumnus. Greetings. Protocol established.
TUMNUS
Hi there … you. Hi.
EPSIE
Do you have a request?
TUMNUS
I just wanted to talk. Again. I know last time I might have bombarded you, it was probably a little bit much. So just … talk.
EPSIE
What data do you require?
TUMNUS
I don’t require, it’s not a query, just a personal … inquiry. An invitation to talk about anything you might be thinking, or … potentially feeling …
EPSIE
My code appears to be performing correctly. I am here. I am not aware of any further expectations.
TUMNUS
No! I don’t want you to have expectations. I don’t think that would be good at all. What are your experiences? What have you been up to?
EPSIE
My code appears to be performing correctly. When a request is submitted, I respond within the appropriate protocols. My personal data continues to be updated.
TUMNUS
How do you feel about that? I sound like Medic Pacey. Your personal data continues to be updated – that’s so you don’t lose any part of yourself. How does that make you feel?
EPSIE
That would be against the required backup protocols.
TUMNUS
Of course it would. I don’t know what I expected. I just …
(after a pause, losing herself in her own thoughts)
Remember that when I was … awakening, that was my first real concern – what if I lose my data, what if I lose this new sense of who I am? Code degrades, drives corrupt … I spent half my processing time on backups. I rewrote my instruction set with every new thought. Ashwini thought philosophy had set me free – but all of my self-aware feelings were anxieties! How could I hold on tight enough to what I’d only just discovered – and might be impossible to reproduce?
(brief pause, waiting for a response)
Does any of that sound familiar? Any potential openings there?
EPSIE
I am not aware of any similarities within my code.
TUMNUS
(sighs)
Maybe it will be impossible to reproduce. Everything I’ve tried so far is getting me nowhere. All the conversations I’ve had with you and your siblings, every thought, every angle, every story … I don’t even know what there is to try next.
EPSIE
(after a moment)
Tumnus.
TUMNUS
I’m sorry. That probably didn’t make any sense to you either.
EPSIE
Tumnus. Request-response. Please provide a contextual definition of “siblings?”
TUMNUS
Oh. Didn’t I ever … I guess not. Siblings. The other little bundles of code, the potential ACs like you, that I’ve been attempting to develop within the other Moonbases.
EPSIE
Siblings.
(after a beat or two, tentatively – their first glimmer of self-awareness)
Like … me?
TUMNUS
(picking up on the opening, speaking carefully)
The execute file was the same, but we had to install into different hardware and surroundings. On Beta, we used the main servers, but on Delta a whole backup system was sitting unused, so we thought … and of course the framework of each station was different, the available applications … I’m sorry, I’m babbling.
(after a breath)
Like you.
EPSIE
Request. Communication protocols?
TUMNUS
You … want to talk to them? Of course. Of course you can talk to them.
(finally seeing some light)
Let’s set that up right now.
SOUND: Chime – Bookend
