[Bower sees that his hand is shaking uncontrollably, and he speaks to Payton over the walkie-talkie]
Bower : Payton? Pandorum, you ever felt the symptoms?
Payton : [aghast] Of all the things to remember, why would you pick that? Were you thinking of the Eden mission?
Bower : What about the Eden?
Payton : You just had to remind me of the biggest fucking catastrophe in space travel, the flight cautionary tale from Hell.
Bower : I remember, didn't they have some kind of hypersleep malfunction?
Payton : Three years into their shift, one of their officers had a psychological breakdown. The doctors referred to it as ODS symptom. The privates, we call it Pandorum. It drove him insane. He became convinced that the flight was cursed. Evil.
Bower : What did he do?
Payton : He evacuated the ship. He launched them all into oblivion. Five thousand people sent to their death with one push of a button.
