K awakes on her room, she has just a few machines connected to her body.
-I… am i still here and now?-
Rapidly changes to Bridge, where Firsthand and Doctor are having a fight.
-A nine year old girl shouldn’t be treat like that Doctor, that’s insane- Says Matt.
-What you want to do?, call child care?, leave her out there by her own?.
Think rational Matt, you’re my Firsthand, those thoughts shouldn’t be on your head.- Says Doctor as he drinks his whiskey.
-I’m being rational- Says Matt as he grabs doctor’s coat and pushes him against the wall, pressing a button to close all entrance into the bridge.
-You better tell me the truth or I’ll destroy the whole place and let the girl free I swear to god-
-What?, you think she will obey you?, if you hurt me, the girl will be useless- Says doctor laughing drunk as he start to think.
-Say it, what’s this all about Doctor!-
-You make me realize...
We have been treating her fine all of this time, with love and care, maybe she can’t travel trough time because we are her emotional anchor, she haven’t found another one yet, what if… I’m his anchor to this reality, if i die… what if she can find a way into the world of the dead, would she go there to find me on the other track?- Says doctor with a mad face
Matt looks at Doctor and punches him hard in the face.
-You’re losing yourself, you better start to walk straight, or I’ll take her away from you, you heard me?- Says Matt as he punches him to the floor
Doctor with a bloody face start to laugh on the floor.
-You better start talking, or I’ll destroy the Pentaprism, the operation room, there will be nothing to work here!.
What’s the point of your research?, to imitate Henry Heims?, to bring back Payne?
Maybe the girl isn’t able to jump in tracks, have you ever think on that?, you’re forcing her to follow the steps of her father-
-Payne it’s a complete loss-Responds Doctor as he cleans the blood off his face.
-Then what!?-
-We’re building a bridge, DeepDiving has elements of time bending Matt, she’s capable...-
-A bridge! Yeah!, how clear… a bridge to what?- Says Matt as he grabs him again and pull him from the floor.
-Just imagine, if you can bridge the same place but within different possibilities. Says Doctor
-Why would you want such thing?-
-Not me.
We’re actually pressured by the Federal Bureau Matt, they want a team to be sent into that place-
-What!?
you’re lying-
-When Langley sent us to hide, we were on the documents form Watergate, we were actually under investigation a year ago, they found our statement of income and send us to close, but...I show them the shot from the last incident, do you remember?, when we first try the Pentaprism at full power?, the lights went out?.
Go!, the security vault, the combination is four left, one zero, six to the six, zero nine eight. It is an analog/digital, double input.- Says Doctor as he stand coughing.
Matt goes to the vault and opens it.
-What you’re seeing… is the place beyond, like when I sent you to find the invisible anchor, that anchor joins us into a specific time and space.
You know what it means right?-Says Doctor watching Matt looking at a picture.
Matt watches the picture and stares still, like if he was frozen, he isn’t even able to talk.
-Is this the proof that life and death it’s just an illusion?-Says Matt as he gets interrupted by Doctor.
-While you keep existing in another track. Yes- Says Doctor
-That’s the project… from NewYork, the eleven tower… how, how do you?- Says Matt
-That day we sent K farther than we ever be.
She saw the building, she took a frequency photo Matt. Here’s the proof.
We’re trying to reach the other side, a way to scape from a calamity, a new world without the Eastwar fallout- Says Doctor.
-Did the Federal Bureau ate this?-
-I was in the Montauk project, the project worked, the project showed things can be sent, we’re doing the same here, also the statement showed that the resources were used and that our company can still work on the project with minimum help, they didn’t cancelled us, but they want a military test to be the first, if we find a way to keep it working with stable results- Says Doctor.
-Why to hide that from me?-
-‘Cause I need someone that can’t trust in me or my work, that’s why your code name is Firsthand, fight against my will, everyday- Says Doctor as he fill his glass with whiskey.
-Do they know about K?-
-K, just like her father is a ghost, they should never know about her existence- Says Doctor
-What if they find out somehow?-
-Well, we’ll tell them she’s just a subject Matt-
-You’re planning a second test don’t you?-
-We know there’s a floor she can step, let’s try with a different frequency-
-(sighs) just…
Give her a break Doctor.
Just one day, let her be herself, let her be of her age…-
-What are you suggesting?-
-Maybe she felt used the last DeepDive, you better try to show her she isn’t an object, just for once, let her feel human-
-Something in mind?-
-There’s a celebration in town tomorrow, go and enjoy... you both.- Says Matt as he gives a flyer to Doctor.
-Why should i build a deeper connection with K?- Says Doctor
-Why not?, a strong anchor could help her to come back easily to her reality-
-I guess you have a point there-
-Well, glad to hear that.
Just… one more thing, I’m not accepting your methods with K, but I know we must keep this working in the name of humanity and a better place to live.
I’m sorry… for the…- Says Matt as he gets interrupted by doctor.
-Don’t mention it, I thank you, you helped me to think clearly, I should stop all of that- Says Doctor as he leaves the bridge.
Doctor approach to the button to open all doors.
-Again I’ll say it, that’s not for us to find, deads will always be dead, we must think on tomorrow as we can still living- Says Matt
Doctor press the button.
-We’re doing this for the right of our reality Doctor, don’t lose objective- Says Matt
