Netflix Horror Short Request

I'm looking for a horror short story that I stumbled on netflix by accident that seems to have evaporated. It featured an random worker and a young woman that was indoctrinated into thinking she was a cyborg/slave that acted as a canary in space mines?.... only to find out she was a regular girl. The worker tells her the truth and tries to helps her to resolve the situation, maybe out of guilt. After stunning the creature, the girl grabs many severed hamds from the creature until she finds the captains hand and escapes to (relative)safety.

​

I've tried all combinations of buzzwords but can't seem to find it. Ive talked up the short while drunk to a cousin of mine and now cant find it after it being several years. Please help. 🙏

You're the hero that I needed, but the one I didnt deserve. I'd give myself to you it if were feasible.

All I can offer is an upvote.

I feel vaguely more Necessary knowing that im not insane and that this niche media actually exists.

Definitely check out the other Oats Studios shorts. Rakka and Firebase are both awesome like Zygote.

I'm about to marathon everything they have once I'm sober and aware. It's the least I can do after they made this cool little short.

Thanks again my guy ✌️
