- 2:58 - 8:22 meanwhile, in the secret recesses of the governments in the three superpower nations, an existential threat is discovered and top secret plans are put into motion to prepare for the future. in remote uninhabited locations at the ends of rail lines rockets are built and tested. in seemingly disused hangars, strange new aircraft are built and tested under cover of darkness. telescopes are trained on the sky, keeping an eye on the incoming threat, searching for a suitable cradle world. great strides are made. a rocket, then a dog, then a person are sent into space. a 50 year plan of research and construction is set into motion, a plan that will eventually yield a cathedral sized space ship secretly in orbit above the earth, with a destination across the abyss of space. (danny elfman, from the score to the film standard operating procedure)

3.9 - 4.0 FROM CRADLE TO FAR SHORE
4_0_0 1000 year dream journey.mp3
"a thousand years passed while you dreamed, and while you dreamed this song played, and played, and played"
You fall asleep, a pilot is put into a capsule, the capsule is loaded onto an aircraft, the aircraft travels to space, docking with a mothership, the capsule is loaded onto the mothership. At length, the mothership leaves the cradle world behind. The pilot dreams for a 1000 years while fragments of identity, experience, culture, history and heavenly, hazy abstract structures swirl around.
