History WMG / Oblivion2013

That's why they haven't turned up to fix the situation.

So what if Vika remembered fragments of her old life? Not anything as pleasant as a beloved spouse, but remembered their capture, being experimented on? Maybe being ForcedToWatch while "Sally" ruined Earth with her clone army and the world being destroyed. And then not being able to die, but being cloned, sent to a ruined Earth, and told to pick up the pieces. There is no fighting back. She and Jack tried and it failed - several times. Even if Sally could be beaten, more like her would come to take her place. Suicide? Sally just clones them again, sends them back with the same job. Earth is a polluted ruin. With her cities gone, her population decimated, and her resources plundered, humanity will never build cities or touch the stars again. Reminders of EarthThatWas like books, the Super Bowl, the potted plant...it's just a painful reminder of failure, of what's been lost and what can't be rebuilt. Humanity is dying a long, slow death, and the only thing Vika can do is try to persuade Jack to [[MercyKill speed it along]]. The DespairEventHorizon was passed about a dozen clonings ago, and she can just barely put on a brave front for Jack's sake.

[[WMG: The other Jacks and Victorias end up together since there's only one Julia and 52's has her.]]

[[WMG: Alternately, that was a [[Game/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Rakata]] ship, and the planet is actually Tatooine.]]

The moon is broken in both. Humanity survives, but doesn't remember the Tet 2000 years later.

Each had an automated system that flips the capsule so the transparent cover is up. (All the capsules are face-up after the crash.)

After some questioning as to why the tetrahedron was doing all the bootstrapping this mix of wild guessing and fridge brilliance occurred The spaceship is shown to have many different hulls the outer hull contains {{Attack Drone}}s and probably other industrial devices while the inner hull contains an atmosphere and cloning equipment as well as the core where a massive computer floats ominously. The core was probably launched first and grew the inner and outer hull using materials gathered from space. The water collectors might have some power generating capability but their real purpose is to xenoform the earth then clone the Tet's original builders.

Giant artificial intelligence with a woman's voice, acting like she's not threatening whilst trying to kill all humans, she's clearly a future version of GLaDOS, she keeps cloned versions of humans against their will, even her drones look like the turrets from the game, the only thing they were missing is the voice.

The cockpit module continued to broadcast its flight data to the pod's flight recorder until the cockpit was taken in. It's a case of backups on backups. That's why the flight recorder that returned to earth had what was recorded in the then-separate cockpit module.

Lonely, just the two of them on the spaceship. They seem pretty close in the flashback scene.

Going by the numbers, there are at least 52 of such stations with a pair of them, possibly more. These have subtle differences in personality. In a few, Jack is the control officer while Victoria does the Drone Repair.

[[WMG:There are multiple Jacks and Victorias employed by the Tet]]

* And before completely destroying them and collecting the "fuel," the Tet sent drones in all directions to find another "fuel source." One drone discovered the signals humans have been sending into the depths of space, and the Tet set out to get more "fuel."

It's been programmed to go somewhere for a totally benign purpose, and has drifted off course and run out of fuel. It's AI has therefore decided that genocide is a perfectly acceptable solution to refill it's batteries.

They have a strange type of personality like that of a living organism. I mean they actually scream when they're shot.

[[WMG: Tet is [[TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL 9000]] evolved.]]

* You forgot that its main tool is a dude named Jack Harper.
