Stasis Page #4

-Actually, I'm here to see you.

-Me?

-Yes, ma'am.

There's something about

Ava that, as her mother,

I think you ought to know.

-So this thing is like a

prison for souls?

-In a nutshell, yes.

How do we stop it?

Well, we don't.

Not yet, anyway.

There's a problem with the prototype,

there's a flaw with the compact symmetries

and compilers.

-Have you tried to reverse the polarity?

-I need to go back

through the data dump

and see if there's something

that I'm missing.

-Um, so what are we gonna

do about the hunter?

-My advice? Stay away.

-Why are you doing this?

Come on,it's too dangerous. You're

better off staying at my place.

-And risk you going to jail,

for kidnapping or even worse? No

-There's a hunter on the streets,

-Then I'll stay off the streets.

-I can't lose you.

-Don't worry.the second

my new transfer comes in,

I'll be at your door,

with my bags packed

Until then, this is our best option.

-Who was that?

-A friend.

-You know it's not health for a grown man

to be hanging around with a 15 year old.

-OK, mother.

-Are you dealing drugs?

-Jesus, no.

Did you have sex with him?

I'm not having this

conversation right now.

-Was that Lancer?

-How did you know his name?

I saw your chat messages.

-You were in my room?

-You were in my room?

-I don't want you seeing him anymore.

-I told you. I'm not talking

about this right now.

-This isn't a game, Ava!

You think that he loves you,

and that he's gonna take care of you and

you're gonna live happily ever after?

Wake up! This is reality.

You're gonna

wake up one day my age,

and have a teenager that hates

you because you are never there for her.

Then, to punish you,

you'll keep making the same mistakes.

The same mistakes that I did.

It's like watching your own failures

over and over again and

there isn't a damn thing

you can do about it.

-I am not a failure.

-I am not a failure.

-So, it looks like someone is

scheduled for a replacement.

Oh, sh*t!

-Move, move! Go back! I'll cover you! Go!

-Hey!

-I've located the rebel sleepers.

Notify the Chief Minister.

The vermin has been exterminated.

What's the matter?-

Baby? Baby, what's wrong?

-It hurts.

-Hold on. I'm gonna take you

to the Emergency Room.

-No! No doctors.

-You need help, you're sick.

-No! I'll be OK.

I'm OK, see? I'm sorry I woke you up.

-I didn't mean what I said earlier.

-You're not a failure.

You're my daughter and

I love you very much.

-I love you, too.

-I love you.

"Let your plans be dark and

impenetrable as the night.

And when you move, fall

like a thunderbolt."

Did you ever read Sun Tzu, The

Art of War?

written in

the 5th century BC?

The greatest military

treatise ever written.

-I can't say That I have.

-Well, maybe now you won't have to."

We've finally reached the brink of peace.

-What is going on there?

-Say something!

- Say something!

-Everyone, please!

Just calm down. This isn't helping.

The details are sketchy but there was

an attack on base uptime/

-What about the stasis chamber?

-Destroyed.

-And the sleepers?

-You already know that answer.

-So you are saying we are

trapped in this timezone?

-For the foreseeable future.

I don't expect reinforcements

to arrive any time soon,

or exchange them.

Yes, this is a setback, I'm not gonna lie.

But it doesn't change our mission.

This latest act of aggression

is proof we're a threat.

The Cabal know we have

the power to change the future,

to rewrite them out of history.

And that's exactly what we're going to do.

Tomorrow we will mourn,

but today we are going to go

back to our work stations

and find a way to

take these bastards out.

Now let's go do it!

-Yeah!

-Hey, where are you going?

I need some air.

-Get that prototype working ASAP.

We're gonna need all the help we can get.

-Seattle!

-Everything alright?

-I'm OK, I just need a minute.

-We can leave, right now, just you and me.

-And go where? You heard the Captain.

We're trapped.

-We will start a new life, away from the

Cabal and away from the Huntress.

-And abandon the mission?

-Think about it.

-If the mission was actually successful,

if the Cabal never existed,

There would have no reason to send us

back to this timezone in the first place.

-What are you saying?

- The rebellion failed.

It always fails,it has to, or else

we wouldn't be here.

-No,no,no...

Has to be another way to change things.

Otherwise it's pointless.

-If we leave right now,

we might have a chance.

-A chance to do what? Stand back

and watch history repeat itself?

You and I both know how this story goes

and it doesn't have a good ending.

And I'm gonna give it one.

-Seattle. Seattle, wait!

Sh*t.

-Troubles with your lady friend?

-It's complicated.

-Ain't nothing complicated about love.

It's either you do or you don't.

It don't get much simpler than that.

But life, on the other hand, now that

will trip you up every time.

-Yeah? So what do you do when

life gets in the way of love? Huh?

-Sometimes life makes our choices- for us.

-Hey, it's OK.

-I just don't get it.

I thought things were going so

good between us, you know?

-Matt? Circe?

-I know, she blew us both off.

-Something changed.

I can't help but think about

the last time I saw her and

She just wasn't herself.

I know how to get you

to stop thinking about her.

-What?

-You b*tch!

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep,

I am the thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond that glints in the snow.

I am the sunlight of ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken with morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush of

quiet birds and circled fire.

I am the soft stars

that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die.

-We can't compete with the Cabal Uptime.

They are bigger than us and have unlimited

resources.

If you're not gonna help me,

I'll find someone who will.

You.

Hunter.

-I found you.

-You're not a Skinner.

What are you?

This?

Do you know where they are?

Can you take me to them?

-Are you lost?

-No. I'm right where I need to be.

-Paseo, how are we coming

on that prototype?

Hide!

-Captain, are you OK?

Hunter!

-Hey, who turned out the lights?

-Sir!

-Sh*t!

Oh, double sh*t!

-It's clean. The bullet passed

all the way through.

-That's our lucky day.

-We're gonna need to apply

pressure to keep it from bleeding.

-Paseo, what is that?

-A polymorphic virus.

If the Cabal tries

to access our data,

it will wipe the servers

and take us out with it.

-How long does that take?

-Longer than we probably have.

OK, OK.

You'll keep this safe, won't you?

-Nipper doodles.

-Go. I'll distract her.

-Sad little Skinner, all alone.

Time to fly away.

Fly away.

Fly away home.

- Maybe he got her?

-Let's go.

-There is a whole nest of

vermin at this location.

Please send someone to clean them up.

-Oh my God.

-How does it look?

-You'll live.
