THE PRESENT

THAT'S FUNNY

I DON'T REMEMBER
WHERE I WAS GOING

WHAT PART OF
TOWN IS THIS?

HAVE I BEEN
HERE BEFORE?

SOMETHING
TELLS ME IT'S
THAT WAY

WHAT'S
THIS WAY?

I'M GONNA GET
MYSELF KILLER
I KNOW IT

WHAT THE..?

WHAT IS
THIS PLACE?

HEY ZEKE

SHE SEEMS
TO KNOW ME

UH…HEY
TIM

HOW DID HE KNOW
MY NAME? HOW DID
I KNOW HIS?

ZEKE! DUDE!
I KNEW YOU'D
GET HERE!

GLAD YOU
FINALLY MADE
IT!!

GRECO, DUDE,
WHERE ARE
WE?

RIGHT, IT'S
YOUR FIRST
TIME

HUH?

DON'T WORRY
ZEKE, JUST
DANCE!

WOW! CHECK OUT THE
GIRLS HERE, THEY'RE
SO FRIENDLY

IS THAT
SKY?
HOW?

AND THE MUSIC!
THE BEAT IS UNREAL,
OTHREWORLDLY!

THAT MUST
BE THE DJ
BOOTH

BUT
WHERE ARE THE
SPEAKERS
?

WHERE'S
THE MUSIC
COME FROM?

AND THESE
KIDS

THERE
FACES

LIKE THEY ALL
KNOW THIS PLACE

SUCH
JOY

THEY JUST
COME TOGETHER
HERE

INTO ONE
BEING

A SINGLE
CREATURE…

WITH A THOUSAND
ARMS RAISED INTO
THE AIR

BLISS

HEY! I KNOW HER

COULD SHE BE SERENA?
FROM THAT STUCK-UP
SORORITY?

HEY ZEKE!
WILD HERE,
HUH?

YEAH, WELL…

But I
THOUGHT
YOU…

EVERYTHING'S
DIFFERENT HERE,
EH?

I KNOW. ZEKE.
I KNOW

BUT…BUT

I'VE GOTTA FIND SOMEONE

GRECO, WHAT
THE HELL IS
THIS PLACE?

IT'S A DREAM.
IT'S CLUB ZERO-G

HAVEN'T YOU
FIGURED IT
OUT YET, ZEKE
?

I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS WAS A GOOD
IDEA. WE'RE PUTTING
OURSELVES AT RISK

HE'S IN

IT'S TOO LATE
FOR SECOND
THOUGHTS NOW

WE MUSN'T
FEAR, RACHEL

ALL IS GOING
ACCORDING
TO PLAN

IT IS TIME…

THE BOY
IS READY

TO MAKE
OUR MOVE

AND NOW…

THIS WAS
THE ONLY
WAY

AT LEAST WE
KNOW THEY ARE
COMING

I'M ASLEEP?

A GROUP
DREAM?

NOT JUST YOU,
WE ALL ARE

MAYBE.
NOBODY REALLY
KNOWS

WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME?

IT'S NOT
UP TO ME

HOW LONG HAVE
YOU BEEN COMING
HERE?

THE TRUTH IS,
THIS IS THE
ONLY PLACE
IT EXISTS

NO. THAT'S THE
WHOLE POINT. WE
DON'T EVEN KNOW
ABOUT IT WHEN
WE'RE NOT HERE

YOU MEAN?

SO? YOU
COULD HAVE
TOLD ME

THAT'S THE CATCH.
WE CAN'T REMEMBER
ANYTHING ABOUT
THIS PLACE WHEN
WE WAKE UP

IT ONLY EXISTS RIGHT HERE

BUT WHO
STARTED
THIS THING
?

WHO'S CLUB
IS THIS?

WHERE'S THE
MUSIC COME
FROM?

WHY IS THERE
SKY ?

CHILL DUDE,
IT'S A GOOD
SCENE

ALL YOU CAN DO IS ENJOY
IT WHILE YOU'RE HERE

THE LIGHT FROM
THAT BOX. IT'S
FADING

YEAH. MEANS
IT'S TIME
TO G0

GOOD NIGHT,
GRECO

GOOD
NIGHT!

SEE YOU
TOMMOROW

GOOD NIGHT,
ZEKE. I'M SORRY
WE WON'T REMEMBER
ANYTHING…

THAT'S OKAY,
I…

BUT I DO  REMEMBER

SUNNY AGAIN, TODAY…

…WITH CLOUDS GATHERING BY NIGHTFALL.

HIGHS IN THE UPPER SEVENTIES.

IN THE NATIONAL NEWS…

CONGRESS CONTINUES ITS DEBATE TODAY…

…ON THE HUMAN GENETIC RESEARCH BILL…

…HUMAN GENOMIC RESEARCH…

…WHICH WOULD SET CRITERIA FOR…

…BY GOVERMENT-APPROVED
LABORATORY FACILITIES.

I'M GOING
DO YOU NEED
A RIDE TO THE
COLLEGE ?

IS THAT ALL
YOU HAVE TO
SAY TO ME?
WE'VE BEEN
SITTING HERE
FIVE MINUTES

I'LL TAKE
THAT AS A
NO

FOUCAULT'S CONCEPT OF “SOCIAL
CONSTRUCTION” DICTATES THAT ALL SOCIAL
RELATIONSHIPS, SCIENTIFIC THEORIES, IN
SHORT OUR VERY NOTION OF REALITY, STEM
FROM THE POWER OF CULTURAL CONSENSUS

THE UNDERLYING
ASSUMPTIONS
UPON WHICH WE
HAVE AGREED…

…WITH WHICH WE
HAVE BEEN MADE
TO AGREE…

DO MORE THAN
CLOUD OUR
PERCEPTIONS…

THEY
CREATE
THEM

OK THEN, THINK
ABOUT THIS FOR
NEXT TIME

WHAT IS SHE
REMEMBERS,
TOO ?

I HAVE
TO TRY

EXCUSE ME, UM,
SERENA ?

I THOUGHT MAY BE
WE COULD TALK.
I, UM…

TALK? YEAH.
RIGHT

NO - REALLY,
I…

I DON'T
THINK SO

CREEPY!

HEE HEE!

SORRY TO INTRUDE
UNANNOUNCED, RACHEL,
BUT THEY'RE CLOSE.
YOU BETTER BE READY

THANKS,
BEBE

SHIT!

HELLO OFFICERS,
I…

SEARCH THE SHIP!

ROGER

GOTTA HIDE!

OUCH!

I'M TELLING YOU,
THERE'S NOTHING IN
HERE BUT CARGO

WE'LL BE
THE JUDGE
OF THAT

HEY! OPEN
THIS!

BUT OFFICER, THERE'S
NOTHING INSIDE

WHAT'D YOU THINK,
ZEKE? SHE'S GONNA
REMEMBER BEING
IN YOUR DREAM?

BUT IT WASN'T
LIKE A DREAM,
GRECO. IT
WAS REAL

YOU'RE LOSING IT,
MAN.YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE GONE TO THE
COLLEGE

YOU DON'T GET IT.
EVERYONE WAS
THERE. SERENA,
TIM, YOU

AND SCARECROW
AND TOTO, TOO?

READ YOUR FREUD,
DUDE YOU'RE
DREAMING ABOUT
A PERFECT CLUB

FACE IT. YOU'RE A
LOCAL. YOU DON'T
BELONG WITH THOSE
RICH KIDS

SO YOU FANTASIZE
A WORLD WHERE
THEY LIKE YOU

WHAT, ZEKE?
WHAT IS IT?

IT'S THE CLUB,
GRECO

YOU PAINTED
CLUB ZERO-G!

OUR GENETIC
SCANS SAY SHE'S
HERE

BUT OFFICER,
I DON'T HAVE A ZERO-G
DAUGHTER. SHE DIED AT
BIRTH, ALONG WITH HER
MOTHER, REST THEIR
SOULS

I CAN'T
GET THIS
OPEN

WHERE'S THE KEY?

GOLLY, I
DUNNO. THAT
OLD CRATE'S
BEEN HERE
FOR YEARS

I'LL GET
IT

WITH THIS!

PLEASE, OFFICER,
DON'T--

MUST CONCENTRATE

STAND
BACK!

FOCUS!
