Helping to pull the gear off a dead SF, the warning was 10 minutes too late and it became clear that they needed to find the cause. Ten men dead either from the inability to outrun the sound or self inflicted wounds knowing that they can't escape it but this incited the order to find the signal. Leading the Marines downward, they were hundreds of feet down below the surface and were continuing down past the ancient reactor. The lights of the vests and rifles lit up the surroundings as chatter stayed down with them searching. Scuffing against the near black concrete walls, Oliver signaled everyone to stop as he noticed the indications of cables on the floor. Slowly moving forward, the cables led into a room underneath the reactor with Oliver frozen to what was inside...must've been thirty skeletons around the room with an item in the center. Almost like the double helix, the skin was overlapping pieces of metal with 3 open sides and a visible metallic core. The skeletons weren't trying to reach the core but instead appeared to be relaxed around it with journals and books along the wall. There was no radiation in the room and some of the dead weren't in stages of decomposition. Tapping his radio while throwing down glow sticks, they needed to know what this is and if it was connected to the sound; "This is Lt. Hudson of Echo, I'm going to need Doctor Bishop and Armstrong down here. We found something." Doctor Armstrong Already on site, Armstrong is the lead archaeologist of the expedition and was amazed by the level of technology that they were finding here. He had been with Bravo Team at Site B and for all the glamor there it didn't match this site. By the mixture of stone, concrete and steel could mean this is an ever evolving site which had significance to the 13th Tribe. Starting down the stairs, the dead were being placed in body bags to be taken up to the surface. Reaching Oliver, the room was lit up as he slipped on gloves to examine the bodies; "Lt, you found something quite important. So the ones with journals are either scientists or important persons. No contaminants but by the writing in the journals that they died abruptly but we'll get these translated." Putting his pack and weapon aside, he had his men move the bodies to the capsules and then top side for Doctor Bishop. Plugging in the battery units to power the spotlights with ropes of light to bring light to this section which appeared to be filled with rooms instead of laboratories. Walking around the room, there seemed to be designs on the wall that resembled star systems but this one stood out...Terran star system. They could've seen the system through telescopes and could've simply drawn it on the wall. Listening to the Doctor as he approached the center, the core glowed a light blue but was careful not to touch. Loading the tactical pad, there was a signal coming from the core with zero EM radiation. There was no power leading to the room and yet this was powered. Speaking up, Oliver wondered what these people were doing and why die here; "Any ideas?"

Speaking up, Oliver wondered what these people were doing and why die here; "Any ideas?" Doctor Armstrong The light certainly helped as he carefully placing the name tags aside while his team worked on possible transitions. There was a drawing shared in most of the journals of a tub with a ball and connections which meant they were researching a new piece of technology. Reaching into his own pack, the tub was most likely a prototype for the resurrection tub which the SF photos confirmed; "They were researching death for the means of resurrection. When the SF obtained access to a Cylon Basestar, they found out that resurrection technology is old so guessing they were trying to cheat death." With the journals and books, the 13th Tribe were ahead of the curve with technology that only the gods should have. Site B had shown him DNA manipulation and they were researching on how to make the perfect bodies. Here, they had A.I defense technology, telescopes to observe distant star systems and resurrection technology. It was likely that the tribe figured out space travel but where did they go? Earth? Terra? Gondawans are children of the old tribe and they accelerated Terran technology. Getting up to slowly approach the core, it was likely this held the conciousness of these people who would never see Kobol anytime soon.

Doctor Bishop Setting up synthetic blood infusions but both Tom and Liam seemed to have some of the worse luck on Kobol. The radiation had penetrated their DNA which was damaging but they were reversing the damage with an intense extraction. The plastic wraps had a compound that attracted radiation to it so it was being pulled through the skin and they had to keep to keep them moisturized. The A.Is were providing vital information to them but they weren't equipped for this on Kobol. Everything being used is a one time thing and he wasn't going to let his patients die to restrict supplies. Since Site B, Bishop read the report that the 13th tribe did something on the lines of playing God that the rest didn't like. Ironically, they did the same when they created the Cylons but was the design original or a blueprint from the ones they stole it from? Bishop had thought long and hard about this as he worked. Slowly waking up, something seemed off as he noticed a gantlet on his arm with a collar on and computer screens as Doctor Bishop rushed over to him. Hearing a voice in the distance, Chris spoke up but only saw Bishop beside him; "Where is the other person? I can hear them." Speaking softly, Bishop read over the charts before removing the collar for everything seemed to be in working order; "Your injuries were severe and there was no other way."Puzzled by the Doctor, now he wondered what they did and now pondered on why he was restrained; "What the frak did you do," hearing the voice but unable to comprehend. Pulling over a chair, Bishop took a seat as he spoke to the young man; "In order to save your life, we had to flush out your contaminated blood and replace with synthetic blood. To speed up the healing," pausing as he set down an empty hard drive on his bed, "you've been implanted with an A.I called Morgan. She's helping to heal you heal but there is no reversal but others will help you adapt. Get some sleep and helps if you don't ignore them," getting up as the Terran Marine stood at the door.Tears poured down his face, he had become an augmented soldier and knew his life wasn't going to be the same... Major Brinks Entering the room, the Major knew about the Lieutenant's situation and knew that he couldn't shut out his A.I. Taking a seat beside him, the Major noticed that the kid was awake as he set down spare clothes; "Time to get up, I'm going to show you how important your A.I actually is." Moving his blanket aside, Brinks had his own A.I that could aid them in seeing his full potential giving him abilities that most troops have. Watching the Colonial slowly move as he looked over Morgan's file; "You're A.I is a sharpshooter and according to your file you are a marksman so a great match."

Listening to the Major, Chris was honestly tired of lying down only to see Morgan looking down at him. The A.I was like a ghost, constantly reminding him of the individuality that he has lost and that hurt him the most. He was no longer a Colonial but he couldn't continue to dwell on his situation. Changing out of the gown, Chris noticed the Mark's on his arm with some of it a kill counter and the rest far older and probably went through the same thing he's trying to adapt to. Following the Major to the airlock, he noticed neither of them had warm clothes on as he whispered to him; "Brinks, aren't we missing some valuable gear? Like a jacket?"

Major Brinks Unlike the SFs before him, he was a Terran Marine that got implanted and he went through the same crisis that the Colonial had gone through. The fear with the uncertainty and feeling like he had lost everything but Colonel Thrax had helped him. Even with the man gone from the military, he had left a void few can fill and all he could do was honor the past with training this Colonial. The cold weather would be a concern but most SFs have a secret to conquer the elements by simply honing in skills from Alpha Company. Opening the airlock, Brinks spoke softly as he stepped out in the snow with his skin glowing blue from his A.I protecting him; "The synthetic blood and A.I work in unison to protect you. Don't think about the snow but the forest on Picon, think of the weather there and from there we can move on. SF training says in order to achieve peace with the elements that one must first conquer the elements."

Listening to the Major, Chris stepped out into the cold but couldn't feel the cold weather but instead it was luke warm. The reputation of the SFs was that of ruthlessness in both in nothing but victory and how they massacred the enemy with no remorse. Even while he was in prison, he had seen how the old SFs melted down and needed teams to bring them down...and now he was one of them. Glancing down at his hand, he could see all of his veins with them glowing blue in the cold; "Other than the icy stroll what else can we do?"

Sitting up in an all white room, Liam was in his snow BDU but noticed Sierra was in pain and laying down beside him. Liam knew he was close to death but the outside world was saving him and Sierra but while he was out he could hear distant voices. Getting up, he helped her up as well but was startled by the ghostly figures; "Who are they?"
Holding onto him, Sierra had been helping to accelerate his recovery as she held onto him; "I don't know but they are reaching out to be understood. They are old and tried to attack me after I restarted your heart."
Maybe the radiation wasn't the only threat which meant whatever else was down there was much more offensive. He needed to reach out since he couldn't live like this or without his A.I; "We need to reach out. These ghosts might have some answers and we can record them as documtions later on."
Knowing this would slow down the healing process, Sierra was willing to do it since she too was interested; "Just hold still...this is going to hurt a bit," dropping his heart rate as she placed them into a coma...

Doctor Bishop Taking radiation meds, Bishop looked over the protective camera on the drone as it approached the main cavern. Smiling, he was shocked to see Samuel and John in an airlock which was good since they could easily move them out of the area. Having the operator connect a hook to them, Bishop's team began suiting up and preparing themselves for the possibility of carrying the rest of them out. Heading out, Bishop went for his medical bag which was filled with cocktails that would wake up Liam and the Picon. Salt had been sprayed to lower the radiation levels with a team of Marines ahead offloading the truck to get everything decontaminated for use. Watching the portable airlock move past them, the airlock would connect to the existing ones but it was likely they would have to wash them down at the research station. Placing the plastic dome over the rocket hole that would temporarily hold back the radioactive particles. Injecting the two men, Bishop knew they would have to use synthetic blood to deal with the internal issues. Placing them both in the capsules, they began moving out while other crews began to stabilize the environment to gain access to the control room and further down. Tom and Sidekick made the decision to deepen their situation and interact with the entities but even this could've gone better. The ghosts saw them as a threat but nothing like their creations but as a new type of threat; a far greater threat.
Speaking to him, an entity identifying itself as a scientist had sat down and talked with him while the others ignored them; "ʻAʻole mākou ʻo mākou nā keiki akā nā poʻe kipi me ke ola pilikino. Ua aʻo mākou ʻaʻole e hilinaʻi akā ʻoiai ʻo ia ke aʻo ma mua o kou!"
Still unable to comprehend due to the language barrier, Tom had a stick as he wrote it in the mud: We are not your enemy but possible descendants and trying to understand what happened here so we can live in peace but there may be a barrier here.
Answering him, the scientists was confused on why the soldier was insisting on written words; "E maopopo ʻole ʻoe ʻaʻole i hele mai ka Honua akā e ʻike ʻoe e hana ʻia ke ola ma mua o ka make ma mua o ke ola. ʻAʻohe kumu āu mau palapala kākau nei akā pono nō he wahi waena."
Chiming in, Sidekick was finally picking up on some of the conversation as she stood beside him; "I think we have a barrier that maybe the Colonel can help us with if he can get here," nodding for Tom agreed, "I need time to brush up on my Tauron."

Knowing this would slow down the healing process, Sierra was willing to do it since she too was interested; "Just hold still...this is going to hurt a bit," dropping his heart rate as she placed them into a coma... Walking in the silo, there was no ice but a lively environment of ghostly figures walking around and completing tasks. It reminded Liam of a recording since no one took notice of their presence but the one thing that caught his attention was the massive rocket at the center with launch points everywhere as if this was before their departure. He knew in Terran culture that some places can hold onto valuable memories and thus this could be the same idea here. No snow or ice but a tropical paradise but there had to be someone here to interact.
Moving past soldiers, they appeared much like himself with far simpler black powder based weapons. Finally finding a person with features less ghastly and more human; Liam knew the Taurons had a language fairly unchanged and a fluent speaker; "Με συγχωρείτε, ίσως μπορείτε να με βοηθήσετε; Πρέπει να ξέρω τι συνέβη εδώ; Τι συνέβη σε αυτόν τον πλανήτη;"
The man understood him and took him into an office as he showed off his military rank, which he took notice of Liam's own rank; "Δεν υπάρχουν πάρα πολλοί συνταγματάρχες, αλλά για να απαντήσετε στην ερώτησή σας, τουλάχιστον ένας από αυτούς, ήρθε η ώρα να φύγετε. Δημιουργήσαμε τη ζωή για να μας βοηθήσετε εδώ και αποφάσισαν ότι είμαστε λάθος. Θέλουν να αναδιαμορφώσουν αυτό το μέρος και οι άλλοι μας κατηγορούν για το έργο των θεών."
So, the cycle is never broken. Man creates machine, machine decides man is obsolete and decides to erase man. This was disheartening but he needed to know more about this place, introducing Sierra; "Είναι τεχνητή, στενός φίλος, μπορεί να θυμηθεί τα πάντα και θα βοηθήσει έξω από εδώ, αλλά πρέπει να ξέρουμε πώς να σώσουμε τους άλλους και ίσως τον εαυτό σας. Μπορείς να με βοηθήσεις?"
Nodding, the man started taking them to the lower sections...

Chiming in, Sidekick was finally picking up on some of the conversation as she stood beside him; "I think we have a barrier that maybe the Colonel can help us with if he can get here," nodding for Tom agreed, "I need time to brush up on my Tauron." Thinking carefully, Tom knew this wasn't a casual conversation but one with precision since so much has happened; "Προέρχομαι από ένα αστέρι με πέντε πλανήτες που δυστυχώς έχει περάσει στην εποχή μου. Προσπαθούμε να καταλάβουμε τι συνέβη και γιατί υπάρχουν μόνο λίγοι με τους οποίους πρέπει να αλληλεπιδράσουμε;"
Understanding the Lt. Colonel, the scientist had seen this star system and knew some were headed there; "testΕίμαστε μόνο είκοσι και γνωρίζαμε ότι δεν θα αφήναμε τον παραδοσιακό τρόπο αλλά με πολύ πιο λογικό τρόπο. Χρησιμοποιώντας μια νέα, υποθέτω, τεχνολογία ανάστασης θα παρακάμψαμε ολόκληρο το ταξίδι, αλλά κάτι πήγε στραβά."
Wait. They were researching resurrection technology this early? It wasn't a secret that the 13th tribe had resurrection since the technology itself was pretty old by the standards of the Final 5 and too advance for the Cylons themselves. Speaking softly, he knew Sidekick was monitoring everything as he thought about bringing him up to date; "Πολλά πράγματα έχουν αλλάξει, αλλά η τεχνολογία της ανάστασης χρησιμοποιείται συνήθως από μια ρομποτική παράταξη που δημιουργήθηκε από τους απογόνους των 12 φυλών. Προέρχομαι από έναν κόσμο που πήρε ένα διαφορετικό μονοπάτι. Προσχώρησα στην Α.Α. με τους εαυτούς μας, μερικές φορές, δεν είναι τέλειες αλλά έχουμε ξυλοκοπήσει τη δημιουργία τους. Γιατί η ανάσταση;"
The scientist was far from being young but unlike the others he was willing to gamble everything on his work. Him and others created resurrection to ensure survival for those who cannot handle long trips. Speaking softly to the young man, the scientist looked over the A.I; "Γοητευτικός. Ο κόσμος σας πρέπει να είναι άφθονος αν και οι θεοί έχουν μια αίσθηση του χιούμορ. Ξέραμε ότι το τέλος μας έρχεται. Η τεχνολογία μας εκφοβίζει τις άλλες φυλές και με τις διαφωνίες που αποφασίσαμε να εδραιώσουμε εδώ. Η ανάσταση ήταν δουλειά μου για να εξαπατήσω το δικό μου τέλος."
Sitting back, Tom could only hope that the outside world found the resurrection device cause honestly it felt like he was talking to a dead man.

Doctor Bishop
Storing the silo bodies in an exposed area of the research station, Bishop noticed that the heart rates have slowed to just a few beats a minute. This was SF meditation, something rarely witnessed but heard of in the inner most circles. Checking over the machines, their brainwaves showed Beta and Gamma waves which meant they were awake and concentrated but on what? They were both in comas with their bodies severely damaged and all the medicine they had brought to save them.

Knowing this would slow down the healing process, Sierra was willing to do it since she too was interested; "Just hold still...this is going to hurt a bit," dropping his heart rate as she placed them into a coma... Walking in the silo, there was no ice but a lively environment of ghostly figures walking around and completing tasks. It reminded Liam of a recording since no one took notice of their presence but the one thing that caught his attention was the massive rocket at the center with launch points everywhere as if this was before their departure. He knew in Terran culture that some places can hold onto valuable memories and thus this could be the same idea here. No snow or ice but a tropical paradise but there had to be someone here to interact.
Moving past soldiers, they appeared much like himself with far simpler black powder based weapons. Finally finding a person with features less ghastly and more human; Liam knew the Taurons had a language fairly unchanged and a fluent speaker; "Με συγχωρείτε, ίσως μπορείτε να με βοηθήσετε; Πρέπει να ξέρω τι συνέβη εδώ; Τι συνέβη σε αυτόν τον πλανήτη;"
The man understood him and took him into an office as he showed off his military rank, which he took notice of Liam's own rank; "Δεν υπάρχουν πάρα πολλοί συνταγματάρχες, αλλά για να απαντήσετε στην ερώτησή σας, τουλάχιστον ένας από αυτούς, ήρθε η ώρα να φύγετε. Δημιουργήσαμε τη ζωή για να μας βοηθήσετε εδώ και αποφάσισαν ότι είμαστε λάθος. Θέλουν να αναδιαμορφώσουν αυτό το μέρος και οι άλλοι μας κατηγορούν για το έργο των θεών."
So, the cycle is never broken. Man creates machine, machine decides man is obsolete and decides to erase man. This was disheartening but he needed to know more about this place, introducing Sierra; "Είναι τεχνητή, στενός φίλος, μπορεί να θυμηθεί τα πάντα και θα βοηθήσει έξω από εδώ, αλλά πρέπει να ξέρουμε πώς να σώσουμε τους άλλους και ίσως τον εαυτό σας. Μπορείς να με βοηθήσεις?"
Nodding, the man started taking them to the lower sections... Following him down past the ancient reactor that sat under the massive rocket with engineers everywhere. The place was cold and it seemed like they were making final preparations to leave while finishing up projects. Speaking to Liam, the officer was giving him a brief on the situation while walking into the lower sections; "Η δημιουργία μας ετοιμάζει την τελική επίθεσή τους. Έχουν συγκεντρώσει εργαλεία που προορίζονται να προωθηθούν και να μετατραπούν σε όπλα πολέμου. Οι στρατιώτες μου τους αγωνίστηκαν χωρίς αποτέλεσμα και σύντομα θα είναι εδώ τουλάχιστον αυτό που θυμάμαι."
Listening, Liam kept his hands behind his back as they continued down a circular corridor that went down a thick concrete column; "Μια ομάδα έχει αντιμετωπίσει έξι Centurions και μόλις κέρδισε τον αγώνα. Οι άλλες φυλές δημιούργησαν τις δυνάμεις τους, οι οποίες θα μπορούσαν να βασιστούν στον παρόμοιο σχεδιασμό, αν και ακόμα τους αγωνιζόμαστε. Πιστεύουμε ότι έχετε ένα όπλο εναντίον τους. Αυτό είναι ένα όπλο που θα μπορούσαμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε για την άμυνά μας αλλά τώρα περιορίζοντας τον τεχνητό φίλο μου."
Pulling out a key card, the officer opened a door to reveal massive tubes that appeared to have tanks beside them and bodies inside of them. Each body appeared to have plastic on them as a sealant, an early version of resurrection technology; "Αυτή η υπεράσπιση που μιλάτε είναι ενσωματωμένη στην κεντρική στήλη για να τους κρατήσει μακριά. χτίστηκε από έναν επιστήμονα εδώ και θα ήξερε περισσότερα αλλά πρέπει να έρθεις σε αυτό το δωμάτιο και να ξυπνήσουμε. Συμμετείχαμε σε μια προσπάθεια αναστάσεως και μπορούμε να σας βοηθήσουμε να φέρετε τη ζωή πίσω σε αυτόν τον κόσμο."
Walking over to the officer's tub, Liam set down his pistol as he looked over the man in the fluid; "Θα σας κοιτάξω αλλά ζητώ συγνώμη για την κακή τύχη που σας προκάλεσε να φύγετε από το σπίτι σας. Απλά ξέρετε ότι, αφήνοντας αυτόν τον τόπο γέννησε πολλαπλούς πολιτισμούς και μια κληρονομιά που κανένας μου ούτε ο λαός μου δεν μπορεί να ταυτιστεί. Αν δεν φτάσουμε εγκαίρως, δεν πεθαίνατε μάταια και οι δυο μας θα θυμούνται αυτή την αλληλεπίδραση."
Nodding to Liam, the man disappeared as the facility began to power down as the sound of rockets launching blurred out all sound. Finally, the detonation of nukes pushed them clear and back into the real world with him waking up from his coma.

Tom and Sidekick made the decision to deepen their situation and interact with the entities but even this could've gone better. The ghosts saw them as a threat but nothing like their creations but as a new type of threat; a far greater threat.
Speaking to him, an entity identifying itself as a scientist had sat down and talked with him while the others ignored them; "ʻAʻole mākou ʻo mākou nā keiki akā nā poʻe kipi me ke ola pilikino. Ua aʻo mākou ʻaʻole e hilinaʻi akā ʻoiai ʻo ia ke aʻo ma mua o kou!"
Still unable to comprehend due to the language barrier, Tom had a stick as he wrote it in the mud: We are not your enemy but possible descendants and trying to understand what happened here so we can live in peace but there may be a barrier here.
Answering him, the scientists was confused on why the soldier was insisting on written words; "E maopopo ʻole ʻoe ʻaʻole i hele mai ka Honua akā e ʻike ʻoe e hana ʻia ke ola ma mua o ka make ma mua o ke ola. ʻAʻohe kumu āu mau palapala kākau nei akā pono nō he wahi waena."
Chiming in, Sidekick was finally picking up on some of the conversation as she stood beside him; "I think we have a barrier that maybe the Colonel can help us with if he can get here," nodding for Tom agreed, "I need time to brush up on my Tauron." Thinking carefully, Tom knew this wasn't a casual conversation but one with precision since so much has happened; "Προέρχομαι από ένα αστέρι με πέντε πλανήτες που δυστυχώς έχει περάσει στην εποχή μου. Προσπαθούμε να καταλάβουμε τι συνέβη και γιατί υπάρχουν μόνο λίγοι με τους οποίους πρέπει να αλληλεπιδράσουμε;"
Understanding the Lt. Colonel, the scientist had seen this star system and knew some were headed there; "testΕίμαστε μόνο είκοσι και γνωρίζαμε ότι δεν θα αφήναμε τον παραδοσιακό τρόπο αλλά με πολύ πιο λογικό τρόπο. Χρησιμοποιώντας μια νέα, υποθέτω, τεχνολογία ανάστασης θα παρακάμψαμε ολόκληρο το ταξίδι, αλλά κάτι πήγε στραβά."
Wait. They were researching resurrection technology this early? It wasn't a secret that the 13th tribe had resurrection since the technology itself was pretty old by the standards of the Final 5 and too advance for the Cylons themselves. Speaking softly, he knew Sidekick was monitoring everything as he thought about bringing him up to date; "Πολλά πράγματα έχουν αλλάξει, αλλά η τεχνολογία της ανάστασης χρησιμοποιείται συνήθως από μια ρομποτική παράταξη που δημιουργήθηκε από τους απογόνους των 12 φυλών. Προέρχομαι από έναν κόσμο που πήρε ένα διαφορετικό μονοπάτι. Προσχώρησα στην Α.Α. με τους εαυτούς μας, μερικές φορές, δεν είναι τέλειες αλλά έχουμε ξυλοκοπήσει τη δημιουργία τους. Γιατί η ανάσταση;"
The scientist was far from being young but unlike the others he was willing to gamble everything on his work. Him and others created resurrection to ensure survival for those who cannot handle long trips. Speaking softly to the young man, the scientist looked over the A.I; "Γοητευτικός. Ο κόσμος σας πρέπει να είναι άφθονος αν και οι θεοί έχουν μια αίσθηση του χιούμορ. Ξέραμε ότι το τέλος μας έρχεται. Η τεχνολογία μας εκφοβίζει τις άλλες φυλές και με τις διαφωνίες που αποφασίσαμε να εδραιώσουμε εδώ. Η ανάσταση ήταν δουλειά μου για να εξαπατήσω το δικό μου τέλος."
Sitting back, Tom could only hope that the outside world found the resurrection device cause honestly it felt like he was talking to a dead man. Death the great motivator. For centuries, Terrans bred with Gondawans to extend their lifetimes and even the A.Is could do the same artificially. Outrunning death till the very end and here resurrection to cheat it all together just to travel the stars. It was always believed that troops like him made the ultimate sacrifice in allowing themselves to share their mind with something else. Speaking softly, Tom noticed the sky was darkening which prompted them to get up; "Σίγουρα ήταν, αλλά τώρα βρισκόμαστε εδώ αποκαλύπτοντας τα μυστικά σας και ακόμα και πολύ μακριά τα επιτεύγματά σας ταιριάζουν με τα δικά μας," tearing off his patch to hand to the scientist, "οι απόγονοι των ανθρώπων σας βοήθησαν έναν κόσμο να ξεπεράσει τη δική σας φήμη. Κάνατε τη ζωή με τον ένα ή τον άλλο τρόπο και ίσως ο θάνατος δεν είναι το τέλος, αλλά αρχίζει κάτι πολύ πέρα από μας."
Taking the patch, it showed a world with the reflection of the Phoenix with swords on either side, fascinated with the prospect that they possibly founded this world; "Ο κόσμος σας ήταν στους αστρικούς χάρτες μας, αλλά ακόμη και η σκέψη του επικεφαλής ήταν μακριά. Πέρασα τη ζωή μου δημιουργώντας μια μηχανή για να αποφύγετε το τέλος και μάλιστα έχετε ένα Α.Α. αλλά πρέπει να ρωτήσω ... έχετε δει κάτι πέρα από αυτή τη ζωή;"
Walking with the scientist, gunfire could be heard in the distance as Tom thought over the question; "Μια φορά. Είδα τους παλιούς φίλους που δεν έχω δει εδώ και πολύ καιρό και έμεινα πάνω από το ζωντανό, αλλά χωρίς έντονο φως, αλλά δεν ήταν ο χρόνος μου. Μια μέρα, μπορούμε να συνεχίσουμε αυτή τη συζήτηση χωρίς τις μάχες και τότε μπορείτε να με ρωτήσετε."
Watching the scientist head inside, Tom followed him to the resurrection room where he tucked away the patch before activating the machine. The doors shut and the place powered down with ice forming around him followed by the explosion that forced him awake.
Catching his breathe, Tom turned to Liam who was just as flushed as he whispered to him; "Was that real?"

Doctor Bishop
Shocked by the two of them, they've obviously had a shared experience but to what extent and with whom? Having them lay back down, Bishop began a battery of tests with writing down the experience and interactions had.
Liam: Military man, mid 40's possibly mid 50's with a black uniform and pulled back black hair. A scar on the right side of his face and over his nose ending at his top lip. A beard that covered his face with a right cloudy eye. The man was slightly overweight and had a limp possibly due to a replacement leg. Key card in the left side of his jacket with possibly a photo.
Tom: Scientist. Mid 70's to early 80's. Prominent man with old burns on his right arm and a journal in his left hand with writing on it: Концентрација кон идните технологии. but written in silver with a black cover. His clothing was red and white with black gloves and no hair.
Giving the descriptions to the nurses only to receive a confirmation that these people actually existed and were in the other room. Helping them into wheelchairs, Bishop knew there had to be something at play; "I've been in medicine for thirty years and never seen anything like this before."

Helping them into wheelchairs, Bishop knew there had to be something at play; "I've been in medicine for thirty years and never seen anything like this before." Readjusting in the chair, Tom could feel a bit of pain but feeling the subsided when he felt those shockwaves. So it wasn't a dream, that riddled his mind as a nurse took him back there while he talked to Liam; "I talked with the guy who created resurrection as a means to fight off death. They saw A.Is as the enemy but I think me and Sidekick changed that." Noticing the man, he accidentally knocked down the book as he got up only to see his patch slipped out of the pages. Dropping back down, Tom knew there was no reason why that should be there. This man was thousands of years old and that patch was on his jacket from a few hours ago unless there was something more to this. Whispering, Bishop handed him both the journal and the patch; "I gave him that as hope but we were here the entire time."
