Description
Flex wakes in the middle of the night needing to use the bathroom. But as he makes his way to the men’s room he is followed by a mysterious pink energy bubble with an eye in the middle of it. The next morning, Guardian and Radius have a verbal altercation in the hallway, before Radius finds his brother asleep in the shower. But when Flex tells Radius his story about the mysterious energy form, Radius doesn’t believe him. Heather instructs Chief Engineer Su on the modifications she wants made to her new costume, though Su isn’t particularly interested. Heather then goes in search of some answers to her question about Beta Flight, but finds that her high-level security clearance does not give her authorization. Heather and Guardian then have a chat about where they stand, and find they disagree, because to Heather, they are supposed to be husband and wife, but Mac feels like a new person since he was de-aged. Murmur briefly interrupts the conversation, before Heather then sees the same energy creature Flex saw. General Clarke reprimands two of the surveillance staff for not reporting to him Lilli’s recent venture from her quarters, and warns them to toe the line. During a training session, Radius bugs Sunfire, Murmur tries to come onto Guardian, and Heather tries to build a rapport with Manbot, when she realizes he reminds her of Box, then suddenly remembers the missing Madison Jeffries. A discussion follows regarding the recent sightings of the energy creature in which Heather suggests it may be an invasion. Later, Flex registers himself and his brother with an adoption uplink network with the hopes of finding out who their parents are. Murmur asks for her name to be entered too, before claiming that her father was Francois Truffaut, the famous director. On their way to the dinning hall, the trio encounter the energy thing, but it escapes them as they chase it. Puck undergoes some treatment to erase his recent mission involving Sasquatch, and runs into Heather after it, where they both go and find General Clarke to get some answers about Jeffries and Beta Flight. But Heather and Puck are met with a rude reception from the unhelpful Clarke. The rookies go to sit with Sunfire to have their meal, but Sunfire isn’t in the mood for company and departs to his room, where he examines his radiation poisoning. Flex and Murmur learn how Radius eats when he is surrounded by an impenetrable force field, when the energy form picks Radius up and carries him back to his room. Flex and Murmur make attempts to stop it, but they are futile. Later, Guardian and Murmur have a heart to heart and end up kissing - which is seen by Heather, while Puck visits Sasquatch, explaining his nagging feeling that he knows something about the recent mission he was sent on. While there, Judd receives a visitor himself, who reveals to him that the energy creature was made by the Department, and suggests he ask Clarke about Patrice Trask. Before Judd can find out who this person is, an A-1 emergency is called by Clarke. Alpha Flight assemble, and learn that it is time to open the Weapon X Files. Meanwhile, Scorpio of the new Zodiac learns that Virgo is in Paris, which means once she is rescued, the Zodiac will be complete.
