The crew suddenly manages to engage the backup batteries much to everyones' relief including Flinders. The recitation puts the crew into a panic mode, but her thoughts move to the time at the hotel with More. Lit with only a dim laptop, she again recites her prescient gloomy thoughts on the ultimate darkness and life and death. Suddenly the sub loses all power and attempts to reboot the batteries fail.

She is saddened and very distracted by his rejection and is resigned to losing him. She asks to leave the ship in order to get into better internet communication as she is obsessed with More. As the mission goes on, his lack of communication puts her a great unease and her performance on the mission is becoming an issue.

At one point (with recent bombings on his mind, and stopping the terrorists) More becomes angry with Flinders' mono-dimensional, scientific view of life on earth. ![]() Her odd, introspective thoughts on life and death in the darkness are attractive and bewildering to More. As they are getting to know each other, More mostly diverts away from his profession and claims he is a water engineer for African non-profits.
