Ultraseven X Reimagined
EPISODE 6 pt2
As we see this, we hear the DEUS comannder saying, "A unauthorized UFO intrusion was detected about an hour ago."
We cut to K and Elea at the car. K is listening intently to the commander speaking over his armband. "We lost track of the UFO, but we belive the area it may have landed in is sector LDB-31. I want you and the others to investigate and if needed bring the vistor in for questioning." K responds in the affirmative and ends the call.
He is clearly nervous. He turns to Elea, who is acting distant. K says Jin and S have been gone for over three hours. He starts pacing. Elea doesn't respond. K asks her what is wrong, and she quietly says she isn't feeling well.
Suddenly S, towing Jin along, cheerily says, "Heey! What's the party about?" K says that they have orders, and then asks where they were. S playfully taps K on the nose and says she and Jin had a date. K has a look of horror on his face, but Jin is more interested in Elea. She looks as if she was punched. She quickly hides it, and sharply says they have an investigation to do. She gets quickly into K's car. S grabs Jin by the arm and almost drags him over to the car, while L gets in, looking stricken.
The gang have arrived at sector LBD-31, which happens to be a park about half an hour's drive from the motel. The sun is just starting to crest the horizon. S flips open her armband and actives a sensor unit. She says she is detecting ionized plasma and starts follwing the trail. The others follow. Elea make sure to keep her distance from Jin as they walk. Jin for his part, decides to let her, as he is beginning to suspect why she is acting this way but fears he will make things worse.
S finds what appears to be a small hole. Elea says it looks like an animal burrow. S says the plasma is strongest at this hole. K says that maybe the pilot of the UFO is a small creature and dug this burrow. He pulls a small camera/scanner from one of his coat pockets and jams it into the dirt. This way they will know if it comes back out of this hole. He flips his armband open and activates his own scanner. He says he is detecting small traces leading in multiple directions. Jin surmises that maybe the creature has been using this hole as a base of sorts. Elea says it's possible. S nods and states the best option would be to split up and search. They nod agreement.
S is following a trail to a softball field in the park. It is a dead end. K has a similar experience near a public pool. Jin, meanwhile, is following a trail to an underpass just outside the main park area. As he enters it, he hears footsteps. He turns to see Elea. She says, "Jin, we need to-" she gasps. A bright light suddenly zooms at them. Jin barely manages to dodge it, but the ball of light strikes Elea on the left side of her head, knocking her to the ground as it zooms past. Jin runs to her. He cradles her, shouting, "Elea! Are you alright? ELEA!" As he starts to pick her up, a cd in a paper sleeve falls out of a pocket of her coat. Jin picks it up. It has a label that reads AQUA PROJECT.
Elea opens her eyes slowly. She suddenly realizes she is in a bed. She sits up to see she is in Jin's room at the motel. He is sitting in a chair near her bed, watching tv on the wall monitor. He suddenly looks at her. "Elea!" He says as he jumps up and rushes to the bed. "Are you ok?" She looks around. "Am I in your room?" She asks. He replies yes. He says the others are still at the park. She asks if the energy ball was a weapon. He tells her that he isn't sure, but S thinks it may have been the creature itself, and attacked from fear.
Elea hardens at the mention of S. Jin hands her the cd and asks her what it is. Her eyes widen, and she grabs it from him. He asks if it has to do with his amenesia. She looks as if slapped. Jin says that he and S think there is a connection. He tells her that the night before he was looking at the stars and he felt something. He thinks it was memories almost coming to him. He asks her once again to tell him the full story of what is going on. She looks at him, and replies he and S think this. Its always about he and S. Jin looks at her perplexedly. He says he suspected she was jealous but she is acting far more so than he expected.
She angrily gets up. She says that for the millionth time, when SHE deems him ready she will give him the information he needs. He is NOT ready yet. And it doesn't matter what S thinks. She goes to the door. Jin tries to calm her down, but she storms out. He hears her begin to cry as she goes to her room. "Well, that DEFINITELY could have went better." He glumly says to himself.
K and S walk into the room as Jin is about to leave. K asks if Elea is ok. He says yes... S asks what he means. He tells her to talk to her herself. Not that it'll likely do much good. He sits back down, dropping into a chair. S and K do likewise. Jin asks if they found anything. K says negative. S says they did encounter numerous people who claimed to see the energy ball. She says it was always near or around houses and buildings. K rubs his chin, and says he can't quite figure out what it would be doing. Jin sits up, realization in his eyes. "It's looking for something. Maybe it needs to repair its ship. Or looking for a food source." Both K and S turn to him, confused. S says that he has nothing to base that on and shouldn't make any blind assumptions. K agrees, and says that one way or another he intends to find out what this creature's intentions are by tomorrow. Jin says he thinks he is right, but regardless, he needs to take a walk. K asks what is going on. Jin replies that he'd like to know himself. He feels like he is going nuts right now. He leaves K and S, totally confused. K looks at S and says that Jin is getting as cryptic as Elea. S nods.
Takao is sitting at his desk, trying ro concentrate on data entry. He is having more and more trouble concentrating as all he can focus on is the nonstop typing from everyone else. He pauses, and his monitor suddenly starts beeping as the word ATTENTION starts flashing in big red letters. Frustrated, Takao jumps to his feet and storms out.
