SEN eventually escapes to an area reserved for the monks of OMM, where a lone monk notices that SEN has no identification badge. Chased by the police robots, THX and SRT are trapped in a Control Center, from which THX learns that LUH has been "consumed", and her name has been reassigned to fetus 66691 in a growth chamber. During the escape, THX and SRT are separated from SEN. Most of the prisoners seem uninterested in escape, but eventually THX and SEN find an exit they are later joined by hologram SRT 5752, who starred in the holo-broadcasts. THX enjoys a brief reunion with LUH, disrupted shortly after she reveals her pregnancy.Īt THX's trial, THX is sentenced to prison, alongside SEN. After the release of the mind lock, THX makes the necessary correction to that work phase. Without drugs in his system, THX falters during a critical and hazardous phase of his job, and a control center engages a "mind lock" on THX which raises the level of danger. THX later is confronted by SEN, who arranges THX as his new roommate, but THX files a complaint against SEN for the illegal housing mate change. The drug substitution also leads to LUH and THX becoming involved romantically, resulting in the two engaging in intercourse. LUH secretly substitutes pills in her possession for THX's medications, whereupon THX eventually suffers physical discomfort (vomiting) along with mental/emotional changes (confusion). Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents and be happy".Īt home, THX takes his drugs, and watches holo-broadcasts while engaging with a masturbatory device. A soothing voice greets THX, and OMM ends every confession with a parting salutation: "You are a true believer, blessings of the State, blessings of the masses. On the way home, he stops at a confession booth in a row of many, and mumbles prayers about "party" and "masses", under the portrait of "OMM 0910". At the beginning of the story, THX leaves the job while the loudspeakers urge the workers to "increase safety", and congratulate them for only losing 195 workers in the last period, to the competing factory's 242. LUH has a male roommate, THX 1138, who works in a factory producing android police officers. Instead of names, people have designations with three arbitrary letters (referred to as the "prefix") and four digits, shown on an identity badge worn at all times.Īt their jobs in central video CCTV control centers, SEN 5241 and LUH 3417 keep surveillance on the city. Everyone is clad in identical uniforms and has shaven heads to emphasize equality, except the police androids (who wear black) and robed monks. Emotions, coitus, and the concept of family are taboo. In the 25th century, sexual intercourse and reproduction are prohibited, whereas use of mind-altering drugs is mandatory to enforce compliance among the citizens and to ensure their ability to conduct dangerous and demanding tasks.
