Stasis Page #2

I said get out!

-Lancer?

Is that you? Who did that?

Did you miss your jump?

-Why wasn't I been informed

of this breach sooner?

-It was not necessarily a breach per Se.

They boys in engineering detected a slight

protuberance on the continuum.

They assured me it was just a glitch.

-Well, tell them not to think too

hard. They might hurt themselves.

Jeez.

Are you a gambling man, Brewer?

No.

-Hmm, "no".

You clearly lack the intestinal fortitude.

Well, I am.

And I'll bet anything that

the rebels have moved

their stasis

chambers underground

to hide electromagnetic footprint..

So, it's time you stop wasting

time chasing imaginary glitches

and tell your boys in engineering to

track down their point of origin!

-Sir, that signal was very faint.

Barely a blip on our scanners.

Even if there were a time jump, the

rebels couldn't have gone very far.

-I do not care if they went back

five years or five minutes.

A jump causes ripples.

And ripples have consequences.

Sometimes I wish time travel

had never been invented.

It's more trouble than it's worth.

We've got rebels popping up

of every goddamned time stream.

They're like ticks.

And once they're dug into a time zone,

it is impossible to root them out.

-On the plus note, last month alone,

We've cleared out rebel bases both in

97 Hong Kong and pre-9/11 New York.

-Congratulations, that's two.

How many others are out there disturbing

the time stream now?

-We're working on that.

-Well, work faster!

And if you encounter any more...glitches,

notify me immediately.

-Of course, sir. Prize truth.

-Seek Harmony.

-Oh, look at all this food.

-Oh, god, what drugs did I take last night?

-Someone's up early.

Oh, I'm sorry, here, um...

let me clean this up.

Do you want any of this?

-No, I...I'm good.

-Oh, OK.

-Hey, need to talk to you

about last night.

-Oh, about like the door bell?

No, before that.

Listen, I didn't mean to call you a brat.

-Oh, um...yeah. I'm sure we both said

things we didn't mean.

-That's mature of you.

-Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day

we're still family, right?

-Yeah, we are.

-Oh, for Christ's sakes. I can't believe

you're falling for this.

-Listen, I gotta go to work, but

we'll talk later?

-OK, Yeah, bye.

(thinking) I don't know how

long I can keep this up.

-Finally!

-Hey, Ava!

Come on, babe, get in the car,

I want to talk to you!

-I have somewhere else to be.

-Let me take you!

-I prefer walking.

-Oh, don't be mad.

Look, I'm sorry, alright?

Alright? I was wasted all night.

I get it; I shouldn't have left, I'm sorry.

-You know, I... don't really

want to discuss this.

-Look, I said I was sorry, what

more do you want from me?
