| − | '''Joshua:''' (calling to boat) Hey! Hey, we wanna talk! Hey! <br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' They are ''not'' really going to make me chase them down with the shuttle, are they?<br>
| |
| − | '''Beglan:''' We can abseil onto the boat. Remember how great it was the last time?<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' That ''was'' awesome. Can we do that?<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' No.<br><br>
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Joshua:''' You are just a killjoy. All the abseiling would have been—<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' I’m gonna kill every bit of joy you have. I haven’t been laid in a year.<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' And whose fault is that?<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' Brian’s.<br><br>
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Rina:''' Thank god I’m not somewhere where I’m melting.<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' I for one like wearing the comfy shorts and the tied-up tee-shirt. I was comfy.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' Yes, but you have a better body than she does.<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' (no bones) Absolutely.<br><br>
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Aye, I saw your ship. Stay outa my warehouse.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' Okay.<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' How do we tell it’s your warehouse?<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' (eyeroll) He spray painted his name on the side.<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Whaddya want, Mister?<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' I just want to know which warehouse yours is so I don’t go in it.<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Just stay outa all the warehouses!<br><br>
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Rina:''' Were you here for the bombing?<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Aye. Well, I was out on the lake. <br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' Do you know why they were bombed?<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' I reckon the war’s happenin’ again.<br><br>
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Joshua:''' Is there anybody else in the area other than you?<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Well … One day I thought I saw some strange lights in the sky but with the cloud cover it was hard to tell. It seemed to be coming up by the old ’tennas up there.<br><br>
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Arden:''' Would you like medical care?<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Oh, ''you’d'' like that wouldn’t you?<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' No.<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Yeah, that’s how they start. They’re like, ‘Hey, whyn’t cha lie down on this’ and ''they strap ya down'' and cart ya off to some old age home or somethin.<br><br>
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Nika:''' (changing the subject, please) You said you had fish and canned goods.<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' I ain’t sharin’.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' No, I was going to suggest we could possibly trade for some fish if you’d like some additional canned goods.<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Hmm, I dunno. Where’re the canned goods comin’ from? If you have’em, another trick is havin’ me eat poisoned canned goods …<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Not since the survivors left. (pause) ’Less you count sometimes the water...I think I see people.<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' Below the water?<br>
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Yeah. They called to me but I just … (shakes head, stands fast)<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' Underwater scientific base?<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' There’s some Loreleis beneath the water.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' The Lorelei underneath the water. How often do ya see ’em?<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' Oh, Lord. Leave the man be. Leave the man be.<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' But—! <br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' Huh. I gotta hunch I’m gonna wake up and you guys’re some sorta hallucinations too. I was a little bit concerned about one that one tin. It was a little tainted. I must be havin’ a hallucination.<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' Oh, are you now?<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' Stay away from the soy. It’s poison.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Fisherman:''' I’m not a superstitious man, here, but that place up yonder, where the antenna are. Yeah … people told some strange stories about bad things that happened up there. Long time ago. Just so you know.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' What kind of bad things?<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' (quietly) Torture?<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' (to Joshua, whispering) That comes later, dear.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' I didn’t kill him. That’s a plus. <br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' I’m not sure I like the new Joshua, really, sometimes. I’m just … (gives up) We’ll keep going. Let’s go.<br>
| |
| − | '''Beglan:''' (faking street jive) You were better on drugs, man. You were cooler then.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' You on drugs you were ''calm''. Instead now you’re all about … (loudly) ‘That was awesome! We gotta abseil into—’.<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' You don’t know me very well, do you?<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' I miss a lot when I’m piloting.<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' We appreciate that. You’re a very good pilot.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' All right. So let’s go abseil up to the antennas. I mean, fly up to the antennas.<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' Why don’t we just make a giant slingshot and shoot him up there. If he makes it, fine. If he doesn’t make it … (shrugs)<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' You’ve been talking to the ACME people lately?<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' Yeah, I was gonna say. He grabbed his cross and totally smashed that big nutcase Russian dude. He was totally awesome.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' He did.<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' Wow. The power of faith. Rock on, little Irishman.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' (to Arden) You know, you and I oughta start carrying needles with tranquilizers so it’ll be like—poke! to her (nods at Rina) or poke! to him (meaning Joshua). “I got him!” “I got her!” (off Nika’s look) Sorry, Cap’n.<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' (to Joshua) I brought a tin foil helmet if you want to put it on.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' (through tears) Please don’t trank me.<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' Don’t go berserk.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' I know. If he gets out of control, she can pop him once upside the head. (nods at Rina) It’ll work.<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' It might kill him, but it’ll work…<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' I’m assuming she can pull her punches.<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' When was the last time you saw her pull her punch?<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' I assume sometime in the bedroom or he’d be dead by now if she wasn’t pullin’ somethin’.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' (muttering) They know we’re here. We need to hide.<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' There’s nobody paying attention.<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' Doesn’t mean they’re not there. <br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' But if they’re holding people prisoner, that means we’re gonna open the doors and there’s gonna be a whole slew of security people standing right there, as opposed to us being able to go in and—<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' (fed up) What if it’s the 99 naked virgins?<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' ''What?''<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' (eyeroll) Then it will be a real nice day for you.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' In theory this place is abandoned, so why the heck would we even try communications?<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' Because there may be someone inside.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' Again—in theory, the entire planet is ''abandoned''. Why would we even bother?<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' We just saw a fisherman down on the lake!<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' You’re not listening to me.<br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Part Three:'''<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' Damn. I left my fifty feet of rope in my other pants.<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' Let’s climb. (a beat) We gonna climb?<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' Mind waves.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' What?<br>
| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' (pinching Joshua’s butt) ''Keep going''.<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' ''Ow!'' (swats her fingers) Those aren’t mind waves …<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' Mother of God …<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' What would MacGruber do?<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' Blow it up. That’s what he always does.<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' (accent thickening) MacGruber is Anti-Christ of engineering world. Are you kidding? St. MacGyver I pray to.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' (eyeing the vent) Is piece of cake.<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' Yeah, if we had a rope.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' That hurt like a ''mother''. I think I broke my tailbone.<br>
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' At least you landed on a padded part.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' No.<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' You think?<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' You’ll cut your hand off. Use my rifle.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' Lesson for the day—don’t stick a breakable thing in a fast-spinning fan.<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' I don’t think that was the lesson. That was pretty quick. Did all of you see that? That was ''amazing!''<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' (facepalm!) I’m ''sure'' there’s brain damage. I’m sure of it.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' Guys. We do ''not'' have time for this conversation.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' What’s going on?<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' Nothing good.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' Look, we don’t want to get anyone hurt. We were responding to a request—<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' (coughing) ''Shut up'', Arden. (coughs)<br><br>
| |

| |
| − | '''Repair crewman#1:''' (still enthused) No, some of these planets are amazing. They’re really great.<br>
| |
| − | '''Repair crewman#3:''' Yeah! Beach planet. Then there’s the whore planet. The Sino planet … <br>
| |
| − | '''Repair crewman#2:''' (still sour) ‘Frozen wasteland planet? No, I don’t think so. No frozen wasteland planets.’<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' They’ll be sending ''guards'' up here to see what else is here. The question will be—what is the likelihood we’re actually going to get in there and be able to do ''anything?''<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' Now, or then?<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' ''Either''.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Arden:''' This is starting to look like a Level Three containment. If it becomes Four or Five, I’m going to be upset.<br><br>

| |
| − | '''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?
