Official Synopsis

"Parachute, paranaissance (sic), protection, cupola, placenta, Catholicism, Egg, earthly distortion, biological ellipse. Geography changes its skin in historic germination."

- Salvador Dalí

Summary

The episode begins in the elevator leading to the higher levels of the museum. Henryk and Mischief emerge into a large room with a singular painting next to the elevator. An intercom/PA system announces that the museum will be closing shortly, casually interrupting Mischief throughout. They both inspect the painting, which is an interpretation of Salvador Dalí's 'Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man'. Mischief's questioning about what Henryk "left behind" induces flashbacks about his past. Notable memories include his former career as a photographer, his wife's funeral, and images of the ship's hull seen in Episode 01. Henryk's daughter speaks throughout the flashback, questioning his mortality. The episode ends with Henryk on the floor and Mischief visibly distressed.

Notes

Morse Code Message

At the beginning of the episode in the elevator there is a hidden Morse code sequence. This can be translated to "NIPS" which is a reference to a non-Interface animated short by 'u m a m i', Tinky Winky's Tubby Time.

This can also be translated to "DEATH" (-.. . .- - ....), meaning unknown.

Operation Tumbler-Snapper

It is believed, but not confirmed, that Henryk is the photographer responsible for taking pictures of the nuclear blasts generated in the "Tumbler-Snapper" test series.
