Aloha Page #7

---

We have a room in the back.

Fingers.

They just pulled me onto this.

I thought we had till Monday.

You wanted back in the game.

This is the game.

- Who's in charge?

- Parts of all of us. Here.

- You work for Welch, don't you know?

- Everybody thinks I know everything.

- Welcome to my world.

- Everybody, turn off your jingle bells.

Let's bleach this hack. Who we got

at Kaena Point Tracking Station?

- We got Roy up there at HULA?

MAN". Yeah. Hey.

- Roy.

- Heh, heh, hey, Gilcrest.

Alive again, back from the dead.

Enough of this make-out session.

Focus on the launch.

- Carson. Carson for you.

- Yeah.

- Welcome back to the driver's seat.

- At your service.

We have a small window to gain control

of our cyber intruder.

Yes, we do. So why don't you just

sit back and watch it happen, sir?

- Never loved you more than I do now.

- You're gonna love me a lot very soon.

Go ahead and launch,

and I'll grab the hack.

Roy, can you get all the codes

on a monitor?

- Yeah.

- Thank you for saving the world.

- You're so welcome.

- Prepare for liftoff.

Five, four...

...three, two...

.0179.

- Brian?

- Liftoff.

Main engine continues

with nominal thrust.

Begin control status.

Final destabilization

established as nominal.

Go, go, go.

Propulsion system

performance status, nominal.

Okay, all systems look good.

Where the cars go by a'

All the day X

Second stage. Main engine ignition.

Carson.

- Gilcrest.

- Have you done the job?

- Did you bleach the hack? ls it gone?

- Reversing the panic code.

Pinging it through the first transponder,

then out back through the system.

Speak to me in subservient English.

- Quiet.

- The Chinese hack, sir...

...is gone.

- Outstanding, Gilcrest.

- Good save.

Flight is now transonic.

We are in orbit.

Way to do it.

Where the lights all shine a'

Like I knew they would a'

Be mine all mine a'

- Excellent.

- Yeah!

Let's go out tonight a'

Second stage renewed.

Main engine ignition.

In position and normal.

- Roy?

- Yeah?

Bring up the deck

from the Helena Project in '05, okay?

Do a little old-school sound transducing.

- Sound transducing? Why-- ?

- Ask questions later. Just do it.

Come on, Roy.

- You got it?

- Got it.

Okay, good. Send a message up there

to Brave Angel fast.

Brave Angel? What are you doing?

Prepare the deck for upload.

No time for questions. Do it.

It's dangerous to spoof it with sound.

You could destroy the whole thing.

- Yeah, exactly.

- We got it.

Uh...

Okay, I got it.

Prepare for upload of the asset.

- What are you pinging it with?

- Every bit of recorded information...

...in the history of sound.

- Jesus. That's a big ping.

- The biggest.

- I see what you're doing...

...and I'd advise against it.

- Release.

Oh, God.

You absolutely sure about this?

- Roy, release.

- It is not easy being your friend.

Release.

Release.

- Do it.

- Mm...

Hello?

One of the most unique--

- Yeah.

- I like that-

We will see you--

Yesterday, December 7th, 19--

MAN 6".

Welcome, travelers.

No, no, no.

On video with the sounds of man in--

That's how we do things downtown.

What is this?

- Enjoy this speedy, easy way.

- Darn, darn, darn. Now who-- ?

No hot water, toilets, lights,

but Whitey's on the moon.

No. Stop, stop, stop.

- Let me in there.

- I've got no experience with this.

This is crazy time.

He hates these cans!

Stay away from the cans!

What's in the box?!

Stella!

- You can't handle the truth!

- There's no crying in baseball!

Wow.

My God.

Good bye, Roy.

You're gonna have to stay away

from me now. I'm radioactive.

Well, this is gonna be a topic

of conversation.

I'm gonna get some air. Ahem.

Yeah. Don't go too far.

I'm on it, sir. Yes.

Hey. You did the right thing, Brian.

Listen to me. From this moment on,

don't get near me.

- You can't stop me.

- Don't be naive. Save yourself.

In five seconds, someone's coming out

and everything between us is over.

You are just starting, I am finished.

It's over.

The wheels on the bus

Go round and round

Round and round

Round and round

The wheels on the bus

Go round and round

All through the town

- You're late.

- Am I?

I get it.

I left you for dead in Kabul...

...and this is your...

pretty cheap revenge.

Can't buy the sky, Carson.

Let me get this straight.

I'm the bad guy to you...

...because I'm trying to protect

our country...

...our American culture.

You can't stop the future

with one silly, desperate act.

I'll build another rocket.

There was a second payload,

with weapons...

...and you almost got it by everybody.

You're about to become

the single biggest joke...

...in the history of aerodynamic flight.

- Can't hurt me, I've been dead before.

Not like this, pally.

Your life is gonna become very...

...very complicated.

Just remember,

the general always speaks first.

Don't say a word. You let him say what

he has to say, you sit there, you take it.

Hopefully, the holiday spirit will

have him in a good mood.

Happy New Year's, general.

Aah!

- Happy New Year.

- And the general is here.

Gilcrest is here, that's why.

Mm-hm.

- Well, I remember the good times.

- There were no good times!

How does it feel to set back our footprint

in the Pacific by a decade?

You cost us our prime new partner,

future missions...

...a new space command center,

all gone...

...because Carson Welch canceled

his contract with us. And why?

Why did it all go bad?

Because cool guy here, Mr. Sexy Pants...

...Brian Gilcrest, lost Brave Angel!

You did that.

And now you're gonna go to the Hill

and you are gonna testify.

And, oh, it will not go well.

The best you can hope for is some

trailer-park honey falls in love with you...

...on C-SPAN, and you get

a conjugal visit every other month...

...always in the presence

of a chaperone named Tex.

Good times.

Just around the bend.

General, there was a weaponized

second payload on Brave Angel.

Weapons? You think you saw weapons?

Let me tell you what you saw.

You saw a complex, philanthropic

telecommunications satellite...

...co-venture between Global One

and Facebook!

Designed to help six poverty-stricken

countries in the Pacific Rim.

Now teenagers in Equatorial New Guinea

can't meet and date because of you.

Nobody tells me anything.

I didn't know that.

Shut up and keep flexing

your crazy fingers!

- I told you he would be a disaster!

- Yes, sir.

And one more thing,

Mr. Three-Day Beard Boy.

Stay away from Allison Ng!

We've got six and a half years

invested in her.

She's part of Hillary Clinton's Star Guard.

Know what that is?

Well, neither do I!

When she gets off the plane in Oahu,

she likes to see Allison there.

She likes her salute. And so do we.

Stay away from our girl!

Current lat and Ion is 34, 52...

...85 east, 69, 17, 17 north.

Poor Gilcrest.

You took the vanity road, didn't you?

You ruined yourself to impress a girl.

And did you get the girl?

- No, I didn't.

- Mm.
