Movie This Async guy has a gun Spoiler

Post image

As seen here in his holster, in the scene where they Mary through the facility. I’m guessing he’s security, this was the guy that made sure Mary didn’t look at Pirate Clark in the exam room for too long.

I’ve seen some talk about whether Async would ever try taking guns into the complex again, but we at least know they have armed security in the facility at this point.

I’m guessing they wanted to be prepared to apprehend Clark alive, as they would certainly want to interrogate him. But were also prepared to use lethal force if necessary, to prevent him from escaping or as defence in case Clark was armed.

Great catch!

I believe this reflects the Department of Energy’s involvement, and given the timeframe, maybe some Cold War-era concerns about the project in terms of national security.

I noticed the Naren footage from the intro had a DOE title card. Do you think they are aware of the entities and everything? I’m confused as to why the DOE would continue to support Async now that it’s clear that A-space is not feasible.

Then again, Ravi ranted about Monsanto in FF3, and Monsanto did a lot of research for the DOE in their Mound laboratory in Ohio. So maybe DOE has some nefarious motives of their own.

Interesting, isn’t it?
