Editing Episode 510: St. Albans Secrets, Special Features (section)

== '''''UNANSWERED QUESTIONS''''' ==
'''Part One:'''<br>
#What were the weapons bays originally made for? Shuttle or storage space? 
#When were the weapons bays retro-fitted into our ship? Who did the work?
#Why were they concealed? Who did it and when?
#What is in the barrels marked ''Photo Brand Favorite Spiced Lentils'' and ''Planck's Coffee (whole bean)''?  Smoke bombs and Sensors/Communications scramblers, respectively? 
#What, if any, lasting damage will Rina suffer from getting hit by the bomb?
#Cmdr. Wise sent the wave to Joshua in response to one sent to him. Does it seem Cmdr. Wise believes Joshua is not his son? If so, why? If not, why?
#Where did Cmdr. Wise get the link to the sensitive material? Does Cmdr. Wise know anyone from the mole project personally? Is that how he got the information? 
#Rina cannot know this in-character, but Cmdr. Wise's information on the mole program lends credence to Mike's warning about Joshua. Does this mean Mike knew of the mole program mentioned by Cmdr. Wise? Or was Mike's intel specific to Joshua's case alone? More to the point, how did Mike find out about the mole program? Cmdr. Wise asserted the program was used by both sides of the War. Was Mike involved in it, either as a subject or a perpetrator (for want of a better word)? Or was this something he found out in the course of fighting the War?

'''Part Two:'''
#The fisherman managed to eke out a living after the bombing of St. Albans, but not without some hardship and risks. He mentioned several things: people being forcibly rescued, tainted canned goods, people seen under the water, and strange lights at the antenna facility on the mountain.
##What measures were taken to get people off St. Albans before, during, and after the bombing? Was there prior warning to allow a general evacuation? What was done to people who refused to leave?
##What sort of people would trick survivors with offers of health care, only to cart them off to an old age home--or worse, somewhere more inimical? Was this something the fisherman had seen or had happen to him? Or was this hearsay? If it was hearsay, who did he hear this from and are they still on St. Albans?
##The fisherman mentioned tainted canned goods and is suspicious of being given them in trade.  Is this a regular occurrance amongst survivors? Or is it simply caution derived from experience in gleaning spoiled goods from scavenging?
##He mentioned hallucinating while ill from eating tainted goods.  Did he see the people under the water then?  Where they hallucinations? If not, then who are they and what are they doing under the water?
##The strange lights at the antenna installation--when did he see them? Are they frequently visible or are they a rare occurrance? What can the crew expect to see once nightfall arrives? Will there be lights then?
##The fisherman said he'd heard tales of bad things happening at the installation. What sorts of bad things?
#The installation on the mountain is built like a fortress--big doors, hard to hack controls, everything on separate circuits.  
##Why the heavy security? Is there something dangerous that must be kept inside for everyone's safety? Or is there something valuable that needs to be kept safe from people on the outside?
##How old is the facility? 
##It's built not unlike a bunker. Is it a bunker from the war?
##If it's not a bunker from the war, what was its original purpose?
##It seems like a secret base--is this one of the reasons the Alliance bombed St. Albans?  Are there more facilities like this hidden in St. Alban's mountains or is this the only one?
##If it is a secret base and one of several--were they used in the war or were they built for another purpose? How many of them are on the planet, anyway, and who held them?
#On the trip to the facility Joshua suffers anxiety so great it reduces him to tears.
##Is the anxiety his own or was it something projected onto him by mental means?
##Rina has managed on occasion to faintly project her emotions in a manner that Joshua can pick up emotionally. She tries it again on the trip up. It did not seem successful.  Why?  Was she being blocked by another agency? Or was Joshua too distraught to be capable of perceiving anything but the emotions he was suffering?
#Joshua also was able to pick up impressions of someone else's thoughts--he very clearly heard the word '''''intruders''''' inside his head. 
##Who sent that word and was it meant for him? If not, then who?
##Joshua also picked up impressions from the security guards.  Was this because they were projecting or was it because Joshua was clean of his meds?
#Which brings us to the issue of Joshua quitting Flomoxipan cold turkey.  Without the drug in his sysstem suppresssing his Reader abilities, do thoughts need to be projected at Joshua for him to be able to hear them? If so, will he be able to screen or shut them out? If not, how much noise is he picking up?
#If Joshua is off Flomoxipan, does this mean he can't keep other people out of his head? If so, how vulnerable is he from being cleaned out of all his knowledge and memories?
#If Joshua actually does have a tenuous connection with Rina's feelings and thoughts, how will her injuries and possible distress affect him?


'''Part Three:'''<br>
#The crew sneaks into the facility via a network of air vents. If the installation is supposed to be secure, why were there no security measures on the vents leading to the outside?
#When the crew encounters security, the security forces are in armor and have such gadgets as night vision goggles.  How hard core are the people in the facility about their security?
##There are no insignia on the guards--either the armed and unarmed ones. Is this a security measure designed to keep the backers of this facility invisible? What is the absense of insignia supposed to hide?
#The corridors are segmented, with multiple points forcing people to stop and either be checked visually by guards or even bathed in decontamination lighting. What does this tell us of the nature of the work being done at the installation?
##What are the decon procedures made to do? Are they in place to keep stuff from getting in? Or stuff from getting out?
#Rina spots high pressure lines commonly used for decontamination systems. The pipes are high pressure, possibly high volume. How much decon goes on in the facility anyway?
#How extensive is the facility? There is at least one length of corridor that runs too long and far for the human eye to see to the end.  There is a run of corridor that apparently leads to a vast cavern.  What is in that cavern? What is at the end of the very long hallway?
#One of the guards manning the check stations mentions having Rina and Arden taken to see the Director.  
##Who is the Director? Is it the twenty-something Chinese woman at the very end of the episode? Or someone else?
##Is the Director responsible for the entire facility? Or is it a departmental title?
#What happens in the operating room, to whom, and why?
