He shoots some basketball hoops, puts on some music on an old vinyl player then lies on the grass next to the water and pulls his New York Yankees baseball cap over his eyes as he seems to be enjoying a near perfect day.

The 50-year-old's character explains: 'Sixty years ago, Earth was attacked. We won the war, but they destroyed half the planet.
'It doesn’t seem right. We won the war, and now we have to leave.'
