- [Narrator] Thanks to our sponsor Youtube Originals,
for working with us on this episode
of Space Court Origin Edition.
Welcome to Space court.
On this episode we take a look at the THEA PROJECT.
Siren Corporation's plan to colonize the planet Thea
in the Nexus constellation 5 light years away from Earth.
In return for participation in the project,
individuals will be given a clean slate,
where everything from their old life is forgiven,
allowing them to get a fresh start on a new world.
Let's head to the Space Courtroom.
Dominic Evilman is an extremely successful
and totally legitimate businessman
who operates entirely above board.
Even though he's got nothing to hide,
why would you even ask ?
He's looking to start off with a clean slate on Thea.
Mr. Evilman's here to prove that the Thea Project
is a good idea and is hoping secure a spot
on the next transport to the colony.
Dan Gruber is a self proclaimed Sci Fi Nut
who's seen enough movies and T.V. shows to know
that forcing characters with mysterious pasts
into a new frontier trillions of miles
from the rule of law is a recipe for disaster.
He can also perfectly replicate blueprints
of the Enterprise D from memory,
but it's unlikely that'll be used in this case.
Mr. Gruber's here to prove that colonies
like the Thea Project are terrible ideas
and hopes to get the project canceled.
- All rise! Space Court is now in session.
The honorable Space Judge Astra presiding.
(Teleporting)
- Whoo! Man I'm glad we finally got
that transporter installed.
Remember when I had to walk in?
That took forever.
Okie-dokie, let's take a look.
Hoo boy we're tackling one of these moral quandaries
and I haven't even had my space coffee yet.
Ok uh, you got an honest face.
Why don't you go first Evil Man.
- Oh! It's evilman your honor. - Cool!
but let me start today by saying
what a wonderful idea the Thea Project is.
I mean, giving people the ability to start fresh
in a new world really is a step
in the right direction for the human evolution,
and even though I am running from nothing,
I would love the chance to wipe away
any little "misdeeds" that may have occurred,
but of course totally didn't.
- Objection your honor.
While I acknowledge the importance of humanity
colonizing other worlds,
the clean slate aspect of this project
is just one giant ticking time bomb waiting to go off!
You're basically betting trillions of dollars
and the fate of humanity,
on a bunch of suspect individuals.
For example, I present exhibit A, Mr. Kenzaki.
(wheels squeak)
(hologram powers on)
Shun Kenzaki is a prominent member of the Yakuza.
Who, as you can see from this well shot montage,
has committed some murders.
Many murders, too many murders,
Yet, he is one of the many people given a clean slate
as part of the Thea Project.
Now I know that his past crimes have been wiped away
but, what's going to stop him
from repeating his violent tendencies
as soon as he gets to the new colony?
I mean come on, you're sending a murderer into space,
where there's even LESS oversight than on Earth!
- You know, you're absolutely right.
That montage was well shot.
- Your honor, with all due, whatever,
what one man sees as a violent repeat offender,
others, like myself, see a resourceful individual
with a very specific skill set
that if given a clean slate,
could use such a skill set,
for the betterment of the colony.
Besides it's not like everyone onboard
is a criminal.
(nervous chuckle)
I mean, I'm sure not.
No, there's people from all walks of life,
many of whom are simply looking to shed the baggage
of the past and find new opportunities.
- Then why not send workers up with proper training?
That way if anything unforeseen goes wrong,
the people there are actually equip to deal with it.
I mean, how many times would the Enterprise
have been destroyed if they didn't have
it's highly trained crew aboard?
I've counted, your honor, 168,
and that's not counting the movies,
and definitely not including Star Trek Nemesis, obviously.
- Of course, that just makes since.
- Well I'm sorry but in this reality,
we don't have Starfleet's nearly unlimited resources.
And yes, I've seen the show,
and by the way, those Borg fellows
are really onto something.
The Thea Project's clean slate offer
is really cost effective for the Siren Corporation.
I mean, could you imagine the money it would take
to convince a professional with a steady job
and a family to leave everything behind
and live on a new planet?
It would get pretty costly pretty quick.
Plus, the clean slate also acts as an attractive incentive
to warm people up to the idea of leaving Earth behind.
Trust me, as a good person, I know a good opportunity
when I see one..
(bell)
- Look, I get that colonizing other planets
is wildly expensive.
Which is exactly why
it's not the sort of place to cut corners.
It's too important
and there's just too much at risk.
- Exactly! There is too much at risk
if we stay here on EARTH! Bing Switch!
You see there are simply too many people
consuming too many of Earth's finite set of resources.
We must embrace other worlds
or embrace our very extinction.
Sure, it would be nice if the best and brightest
among us would selflessly drop everything,
travel to Thea to help secure humanities future
but that just isn't going to happen.
Yes, the Thea Project isn't 100% perfect,
but it's a great compromise that takes into account
the cold hard practicalities of interstellar colonization,
while still offering people the ability
to start over in a new world,
where they can become the best versions of themselves,
free of all the pain and baggage of the past,
and if freeing yourself from your past isn't
the blueprints for a better and brighter future,
well then I don't know
what you can possibly - Freeze dirt-bag,
don't move a muscle.
- Dominic Evilman,
you're under arrest for murder,
grand theft, secretly running a criminal organization,
and stealing candy from a baby.
Space cuff him Danny.
- I don't understand.
I was so careful!
How could you possibly find me?
- There are cameras literally pointed at you right now.
- Come on Evilman, We're space police.
You don't think we have Space Court
on all the TV's down at the Space Station?
- Curse my vanity!
Oh mommy's gonna be so crossed with me.
- Yes she is.
(door slams)
- Well, that is a huge bummer for him,
because I was just about to rule in his favor.
- Aww you serious?
Anything I can do to change your mind?
You know I can draw surprisingly acuate
set of blueprints of the Enterprise D from memory,
would that, would that do anything?
- No, it does not.
- Yeah, it never does.
- I rule in favor of I rule in favor of Evilman.
The Thea Project will move forward as planned!
(gavel hits)
- My god, that was a landmark space case.
Well looks like Dan's coming out
of the courtroom right now.
Dan, how do you feel about the verdict?
Well, you know, to be honest,
I'm not super excited about losing,
but I got this cool gun,
and I'm cautiously optimistic that things
will work out for the people in the Thea Project.
I guess we won't know until November 14th,
when Origin premieres exclusively on Youtube Originals.
Make sure to follow the Origin Youtube channel,
to keep up on all
of the latest news and info about the show.
- We'll see you then, Dan.
Wow, hell of a court case and hell of a plug.
Francis, that's lunch.
