[Mister Saltzman] An impressive

light show, Doctor Elymas,

but I still fail to see

how any of this would be

of interest to my employer.

The next phase of my work

will focus on the stabilization

and application

of the God Particle.

You were able to transport

the Danger Element?

Yes, it is here.

But I will need your support,

if I am to regain the support

of the Lucrecious society.

My employer has no use for

the arrogance of Lucrecious.

We both know

that he cannot resist

this kind of power.

Perhaps not.

But he's far more patient

than you give him credit for.

[Vorkschnitt] Screeeech.

How did he find us here,

Vorkschnitt?!

An intruder, Trevor?

Em... if you'll excuse me,

a minor situation

must be dealt with.

Vorkschnitt will show

you the door, Mister Saltzman.

[fighting]

[suspenseful music]

The doctor will see you now.

[fast music]

[fighting sounds continue]

[Elymas] Looking for

the Danger Element,

are we, Battle Jitni?

I have anticipated your visit,

my nimble little monkey.

My men spirited

the canister away only

moments before your arrival.

[laughs]

Wait! Where are you going?

[fast music]

[fast music]

[tires screeching]

[Voice of the car]

Auto-drive mechanism active.

[suspenseful music]

[sound of cars]

[Kyle] Did we lose him?

[fast music]

[punching and fighting]

[loud crash]

[loud punch]

What?! Oh no!

[suspenseful music]

[soft, quiet music]

[church bell]

-[Vorkschnitt] Screech!

-Battle Jitni.

[spits]

[voice of car]

Auto-drive mechanism inactive.

Saltzman:
Pardon me.

I believe you have something

I'm going to have to

take away from you...

...by force!

[energetic music]

[shooting]

[fighting]

[melodious music]

We have Battle Jitni cornered.

He's being sternly dealt with.

[shooting]

[loud explosion]

[ominous music]

[shot fired]

[soft music]

[Abaddon]Alone again.

Always alone,

though not alone,

here at the edge of

the universe, the edge of time.

But really just the beach.

Only a symbol of these things.

And further still:

only your own mind.

A far dimmer projection than

even the weakest of symbols.

And by such predictable

convention do you write

yourself alone,

even in your own imagination.

Alone, though not alone.

Not truly. Never truly.

For you are so good

at lying to yourself.

For had she not been there,

would you not have been dead?

Has not the one you would

push away become your only

real hope against death?

I see a pattern.

All you do is talk in circles.

Yes of course.

But circles were always

good enough for you.

[Jitni] What are you doing here?

[Enki] I suppose I could have

left you lying out there.

Do you even remember

what happened?

What are you doing?

My father loved you.

Sometimes, I think

he loved you more than me.

We've been through that

before, Enki.

He had an unconventional way

of looking at technology.

He believed that the secret to

harnessing any force

is hidden in the methods,

that we use to measure it.

Even time.

He spent his whole life

trying to build a machine

that could do this.

And, as ridiculous as it sounds,

you and I both know

he succeeded.

This is the celebration

of that success.

The Paraclete.

And he built her for you,

brother. The son he never had.

The Paraclete does not

owe its speed to

the power of its engine.

In fact, my father once told me

that the Paraclete isn't

even that fast at all.

It's simply her experience
