Infini Page #4

---

- There's no safety net!

- That's right.

It is a long way from home,

the furthest you have ever been.

Now, your primary order...

is to stop that payload leaving Infini

and bring this Carmichael home.

The focused military approach

has proven ineffective.

We are relying on you, our best search

and rescue team, to get this job done.

Deployment in 45 seconds.

- What's with the antiques?

- Nothing else will work out there.

We're hearing current plasma tech is rendered

useless against the electrical fields.

You will be relying solely

on basic packs.

- Even our readouts?

- Everything... 30 seconds.

There better be a hell

of a big bonus for this.

You bring this in,

I deliver the credits myself.

Your suits are sealed

with two layers of resistance,

but won't stand that level

of cold indefinitely.

I have marked all generators

and key locations on your maps.

- You said airborne contagion.

- It is an assumption, like a lot of this.

Ten seconds!

All right, nothing stupid.

Safe and steady.

There's a reason

they bring us in last, right?

We'll see you in a minute.

Kent, where are we at?

Storage room. Lower deck, level three.

You got any thermal reads?

No, it's too cold. It's 70 below.

- I'm not gonna see anything on this.

- Stay on it anyway.

I'm not reading anything

for air contaminants

but we are surrounded

by some kind of coolant agent.

- Boxen.

- Yeah?

- Take Jacklar to find Carmichael.

- Yes, sir.

Menzies, Grenich and Kent,

you're on payload.

We'll use the service tunnels. I've marked

your access points on your maps.

Keep moving. This cold will set in

much faster than you think.

All right, Mannings, Huntington,

you're with me to the generators.

Everyone stay on the comms.

We regroup back in the control room.

Boxen, if you find this Carmichael guy,

if there's any risk,

- you call it in to assess.

- Got ya, Cap.

Payload is priority.

So is getting home alive. Let's move.

- Loud and clear.

- Jacklar, let's go.

Huntington, move.

Don't touch anything!

Okay, guys, we got some bodies here.

Keep it tight.

I must say, I was a bit surprised to see you

at the meeting this morning, Mannings.

Well, it was a late call.

Babysitting mission.

- For who?

- Keep Huntington out of trouble.

- The babysitter.

- Yeah, well, it looks that way.

Someone wants to make sure

you get the east coast command...

not like these poor bastards.

What the f*** is he talking about,

Huntington?

Last job.

- He's moving up in the world.

- You wanna be in politics?

- Governor Huntington.

- Which way, Huntington?

Should be stairs up the front there.

Man, if there's anything alive in this
