Algorithmic Composition (Optional 4)

 is an optional chamber in The Turing Test

Summary
Algorithmic Computation is an achievement received after solving the optional puzzle located in Chapter 4.

Upon entering the puzzle room, a human figure can be seen exiting through an inaccessible door.

Solving the puzzle unlocks a room which contains four audio logs.

In the first audio log, Soichi and Sarah explain to Captain Daniel their findings regarding Organism 119. They explain that it has some sort of rejuvenation power in infected organisms. Daniel wonders how "they" (ISA), will react after hearing the news that the ground team has discovered a life-form on Europa which has the ability to make organic life immortal.

In the second and third audio logs, Sarah confronts Mikhail about her pregnancy by Chris. Mikhail explains that, due to the conditions on Europa, the child will be unable to develop properly in the womb and become viable. Sarah laments that her child will not make it to full term. Mikhail uses an ultrasound to show her the underdeveloped fetus and apologizes for her loss. In the final audio log, Sarah, distressed, blames Chris for what happened to her and the child.

On the table there is a portable recording device. On it, Daniel and TOM have a conversation about Organism 119. Daniel laments that he is stuck forever on Europa, but TOM is concerned about what will happen to Ava. Daniel authorizes TOM to wake Ava and send a shuttle to take her to Europa to collect the sample and bring it back to Earth. Daniel does not want the rest of the crew to know of this plan. After asking TOM to say he's gone missing, he presumably goes into hiding to a place where not even TOM can find him.

Audio Logs
Daniel: You called. How's progress?
 * 1. 73567AB9-149B-4504-9CF6-BF7D9BCC5C59

Soichi: Very good. We've exposed several organisms to Organism 119. We found out what it does.

Sarah: It has had miraculous results.

Daniel: Go on.

Sarah: We infected fruit flies and some plants and they've not aged at all. The organism seems to be repairing them and stopped biological aging progresses. We don't know how yet.

Soichi: It must be repairing the DNA with some rejuvenation power.

Daniel: Are you... sure?

Sarah: I'm sure. These plants should have died two weeks ago.

Daniel: Huh. I don't know how they'll react to this.

Sarah: Mikhail, can you keep a secret?

Mikhail: Of course.

Sarah Brook: Turn off your radio... I think I'm pregnant.

Mikhail: How?

Sarah: Chris.

Mikhail : You won't be able to have a child here.

Sarah: Keep your voice down!

Mikhail: Sarah, you won't go to full term here.

Sarah Brook: Don't you think I know that?

Mikhail: The microbe vacuum. The environment. There's not enough food or water. How will it survive? I'll need to operate to get rid of it.

Sarah: I can't- We can't get rid of it! ...W-we could shut down the communication array. Just for a couple of hours.
 * 3. 908BD1DA-DBDF-45B6-BE86-BA7D915FB2AD

Mikhail: That's the heart. There's the feet. It's not gonna make it, Sarah. I'm sorry. Gravity is just too low here. It's not going to develop properly. I'm so sorry.
 * 4. 3EE40814-78AA-4530-BEBC-337FBE69A5DF

Chris: I'm sorry.

Sarah: I can't take it anymore.

Chris: No one has to find out.

Sarah: You did this.

Chris: You don't mean that.

Sarah: Get off!

Recorder Log
TOM: Daniel? Are you alright?

Daniel: I'm perfectly well. I'm gonna live forever, don't you know.

TOM: If you would allow me, I would like to congratulate you on your good work.

Daniel: What are you talking about?

TOM: Securing the organism. Keeping Earth safe.

Daniel: We're not made to live forever, TOM, especially not here.

TOM: Why do you say that?

Daniel: Find the cure for death and now we're immortal; immortal and alone. I can't live here forever on some freezing backwater moon, feeding off vegetables grown in my own feces, starving, endlessly young, a wasted life. Live forever.

TOM: Daniel... I am sorry that you cannot go home. The ISA are wondering what to do with Ava.

Daniel: What do you mean?

TOM: She is still on the Fortuna. Do we send her home? Or do we send her a sample of the organism?

Daniel: I could pilot a sample to the Fortuna.

TOM: You would have to travel back to Europa, Daniel. You couldn't board the Fortuna. The risk of back-contamination is too large. Ava would have to bring the sample back to Earth.

Daniel: Could you allow a ship out?

TOM: I'm not able to do that.

Daniel: Executive override: Daniel Joseph Maclean.

TOM: Okay, but only for you, Daniel. The rest of the crew can not know about this.

Daniel: Say I've gone missing.

TOM: I'm afraid I can't lie.

Daniel: It's not a lie.
