DarkMatter Virtual Season 4 - Episode 4.01, Act 5 (of 5)!
Establish a remote farmhouse. It's a beautiful day. TWO steps out outside - "She finally fell asleep..." - and trails off at the sight of a shirtless Kryden returning from his chores.

His lean, muscled body is covered with a web of cybernetic circuitry running from his fingertips to his very core. He's augmented.
Kryden puts on his shirt, tells her: "She's sleeping a lot better now that you're here. You were gone so long, I didn't think you were coming back."

TWO is about to respond when, suddenly, she is assailed by a violent headache. She loses her balance. Kryden goes to her. As she shakes it off, a thunderclap causes them to look skyward. Ominous storm clouds moving in. Lightning flashes. He suggests they head inside.

On The Raza, a possessed TWO arcs her back, her mouth open in a silent scream as the charge of the shock stick washes over her. Wexler steps back to catch his breath, and warns: "I can do this all day."
But the look he throws the security camera suggests otherwise.

Back on the bridge, FIVE, watching the proceedings on the big monitor, hesitates, then tells him: "Keep going."
He does.

The door to Marcus Boone's vault slides open to reveal Boone, armed and enraged at the sight of the devastation. He scans the room, takes in his destroyed loot, an unconscious THREE in the corner, and steps inside.
The second he does -

THREE's eyes flash open and he shouts a warning: "Look out!"
Boone looks up, just catching sight of Portia positioned directly overhead, gun leveled. He moves. She fires. And misses. He grabs her wrist and yanks, bringing her down hard. But she is quickly on her feet.

He levels his gun but she swats it away. It clatters across the floor where a battered THREE picks it up, then bolts.
Portia and Boone throw down. She's faster, pins him to the wall. Suddenly, he shouts: "Door!"
Too late! She turns just in time to see the door slide shut.

Safely in the corridor on the other side of the sealed door, THREE shoots out the security console, effectively sealing them inside.
THREE: "I'm sure you two have a lot of catching up to do. I'll leave you to it."
He leaves them, trapped, warily eyeing each other

The possessed TWO twists and strains against her bonds, to no avail. Wexler, clearly exhausted, appeals: "Hey, if you can hear me in there - I can't do this alone. Help me kick this bastard out of you!" And he shocks her again.
Back on the bridge, FIVE can barely watch.

Inside the farmhouse, TWO stares out the window at the terrifying storm. A sudden stutter-flash in the distant darkness mimics the familiar FTL effect. And, in that instant, TWO is suddenly struck by a realization. She throws a look to Kryden and tells him: "I have to go."

Kryden appeals, but she insists: "I can't stay here." She makes for the door - at which point the baby starts to cry. She holds up, conflicted.
Kryden: Rebecca, she needs you.
TWO: I'll come back for her. I promise.
Then, she throws open the door and ventures out into the storm.

On The Raza, Wexler steps back as the alien begins to leave TWO, a roiling oily blackness escaping through her eyes, ears, and mouth to loom over them.
Wexler: Shit!
Back on the bridge, FIVE gives the signal: "Now!"
At which point one of the bulkhead doors slide opens.

The Android steps in, grabs TWO's chair, and yanks her out of the compartment.
Wexler, back to a wall, stares up in horror at the hovering alien presence. Then Ryo grabs him and pulls him to safety as -
The bulkhead door slides shut, trapping the alien within.

On the other side of the spacetime rift, in one one of the Ferrous shipyard's control hubs, Ferrous Corp guards attempt to send a distress signal to the outside world.
The door slides open. SIX and Tash walk enter.
The Ferrous Corp guards react at the sight of SIX.

"What is he doing here?!"shouts one of the guards.
Tash shoots them both.
She catches a look from SIX and shrugs: "It's just faster than having to explain."
SIX accesses the long-range sensors and pinpoints the location of the rift, their gateway back to their reality.

Tash: You got it?
SIX: Yeah.
Tash: Then let's go.
SIX: It's too far.
Tash: What do you mean?
SIX: The Marauder isn't FTL-capable. It'll take us three years to get there by shuttle.
And the enormity of the dire situation settles. So near and yet so very, very far...

Android, Ryo, and Wexler are on the bridge, studying their alien prisoner via security feed. The Android intends to study it for now.
FIVE joins them and lets them know TWO is resting comfortably.
They are interrupted by a communication. It's Anders.

He tells them that he has learned where the Galactic Authority is holding the white hole bomb.
All silent beat as all eyes swing over to FIVE for the call. She doesn't even hesitate: "Let's go get it!"
And off a resolute FIVE, we
