Oxygen

Plot Summary

• A woman awakens in an airtight medical cryogenic unit, and discovers that she is trapped and that the unit's oxygen levels are falling rapidly. Suffering from memory loss, she does not remember who she is or how she got there. She is assisted by an advanced A.I. named M.I.L.O. (Medical Interface Liaison Officer), but it refuses to open the cryo unit without an administrator code. Using MILO, she is able to transmit outside the pod and contact emergency services. She provides them with the cryo unit's model and serial number, which are printed on the interior. Upon contacting the manufacturer they are told the unit was destroyed three years prior. Unable to recall her memories, she looks for clues about her past by searching for pictures and articles through the AI computer and finds her name, Elizabeth Hansen. She realizes she is a cryogenic doctor. She finds her husband, Léo Ferguson, and his contact number by accessing her social media, but when she calls his number a woman answers. She tells the woman that she is Léo's wife and demands to speak to him. The woman seems confused and hangs up.As the oxygen level continues to fall, she begins hallucinating and tries to open the pod, only to be electrocuted. She then receives a call back from the police but suspects they are hiding something from her, and disconnects. The unknown woman she called earlier rings and tells her that her husband is dead. She also gives her the administrator code to open the pod, but tells her she cannot open the pod or she will die. Elizabeth uses the code, and begins floating without gravity. After a brief explanation, it is revealed that she has been placed into hyper-sleep for a 14 light-year journey to another planet. Her secret mission is to travel to a new planet, as mankind will be extinct in the near future due to a deadly virus. The virus also killed her husband, Léo.Heartbroken by the truth, she deduces the awakening was due to a processor overheating and realizes she must divert the functions of the processor to another processor assigned to non-essential functions, but initially fails since the data exceeds capacity. As time passes by and with oxygen levels fading, she prepares for suicide by attempting to open the pod. Shortly after, she discovers Léo is also in hypersleep in the damaged spaceship together with nearly 10,000 others, but she notices he lacks a scar on his forehead that he had before. Upon further investigation, through a video presented by an elderly version of her, it is revealed that she is a genetic clone with the original Elizabeth Hansen's personality and memories implanted, including memories of Léo. The woman she has been speaking to on earth is the original, and now elderly, Elizabeth Hansen.MILO activates a euthanasia protocol due to a non-existent chance of survival, however Elizabeth's clone manages to deactivate it and successfully diverts the functions of the processor and is put back in hypersleep. The final scene shows the clones of Léo and Elizabeth on the new planet smiling, embracing each other.

Storyline

• Having no recollection of how she ended up there, Liz Hansen wakes up from her deep hypnosis in an air-sealed cryogenic unit the size of a coffin. With the oxygen resources steadily depleting, Liz must remain composed to piece together her fragmented memories and reconstruct her opaque identity with the help of M.I.L.O., the pod's state-of-the-art A.I. However, trapped Liz can't move, she can't get out, and her oxygen levels can only last ninety short minutes. Does Liz have a fighting chance of surviving? Is there an escape from this claustrophobic nightmare? — Nick Riganas A woman awakes in a cryogenic chamber without memory and warned by an Artificial Intelligence named M.I.L.O. that she has only 32% of oxygen. She asks several questions to M.I.L.O. until she retrieves her name from one image, Dr. Elizabeth "Liz" Hansen. She asks M.I.L.O. to unlock the chamber, and he asks the password of the administrator to obey the order. Liz recalls that she is married with Léo Ferguson and succeeds to contact her agenda. She calls the police, and an inspector tries to calm her down. He asks the manufacturer and the number of the chamber to locate Liz and learn the password of administrator. While the oxygen is reducing, Liz finds where she is and why she cannot unlock the chamber. — Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil A young woman wakes up in a high-tech cryogenic pod, suffering from complete amnesia and trapped in a confined, sealed environment. As she struggles to break free, the pod's automated artificial intelligence, M.I.L.O., delivers a terrifying reality: the unit is malfunctioning, and her oxygen levels are plummeting rapidly. With no memory of her identity or how she arrived in this nightmare, she must rely on fragmented flashbacks and the AI's limited database to piece together her past. As the air supply dwindles, she realizes her situation is far more desperate than a simple malfunction; she is a key player in a global mission, and the truth about who-and where-she is could be the only thing that saves her from suffocating in the dark. — BhanuP-4960
