The News Anchor returns with his trademark placid facial expression.
NEWS ANCHOR: ... and tonight the next episode of “PowerProwl” will air. Will MissFire finally accept The Circuit’s advances or will she toast his buns! Tonight at nine. Only on SPN.
The screen shifts to the image of a massive skyscraper in the heart of the city. It's design is clean and unusually geometry with the word "NAVIGATE" emblazoned on one side.

The black silhouette of a woman with her haired tied back over a deep purple background.
Hero shots of Saturnia The Corporal (45. A massively muscular man with a military cut and no beard) appear on screen.

The screen fizzles to noise followed by blackness.
BETA: THE HELL WITH THAT!
BETA (25) slams his fist into the computer console. He wears dark sunglasses and a black and orange beanie with a Ø across the front. GAMMA (22) approaches behind him. She wears a similar black athletic shirt to Beta. Her deep red hair stops just below her shoulders.
They are in a small two-bed studio apartment. One wall is nothing but computer displays and data readouts. Another has a series of thin vertical windows that allow the warm glow of the city in.
GAMMA: Garret? What happened?
BETA: They've got to be covering it up!
GAMMA: It's been two months. Sarah would have returned if she could
BETA: Then that's it! They have her in quarantine—
Gamma grips Beta's arm and he falls silent.
GAMMA: They may have given up, but you know we can’t. That’s why she brought us together.
BETA: Yeah... But Delta and Echo are gone… And now Alpha… Digamma wants nothing to do with us.
Gamma hugs him.
GAMMA: I need to go get something for dinner. Please stay here and get some rest.
BETA: I hate you going alone.
GAMMA: I know, but until you get control of your power you’re basically useless
BETA: HEY!
GAMMA: Kidding! I’m kidding! I just... Thought I could cheer you up they way you do for me.
BETA: Well try not to cheer anyone else up. They might not find it as funny as I do.
Gamma turns to the door and slips on a black jacket.
GAMMA: You're right. I won't be long.
BETA: Hear you later.
The door closes lightly behind her and Beta is alone in the apartment.
BETA: ... Please be safe.
