MAY: He says he's over 100 years old.

He's hunting creatures called the Shrike.

Their creator is coming.

Earth will be destroyed.

Possibly by Sarge.

And he won't stop until he eliminates me.

Where is it?

Where's what?

DAISY: The b*mb.

One that'll leave a crater 200 miles wide.

When Izel lands, I'm gonna blow her and her black tower of death into oblivion.

You are not leaving until it's dismantled.

Snowflake, I'm sorry.

No!!

There's a plan.

Now calm down.

All right, Davis, how close can we get to that rig?

Not very.

The Zephyr's too big.

Our wake could topple them.

What about the Quinjet?

You think you can extract them in time?

Trust me.

That's what I do.

All right.

Go ahead.

Prepare the Quinjet.

You heard the plan.

Get in range until Yo-Yo can deploy.

All right, copy that.

After all this, Sarge is making a sacrifice move.

It doesn't add up.

He doesn't sound like someone who would play the martyr to me.

Yeah.

So, what are we missing?

Jaco and I will take the bridge.

Pax, you lock down the engine bays.

Then we get this ship out of here before the warhead blows.

Sounds great.

Except for the glaring flaw in the plan.

Enlighten me.

That fast lady...

how are we supposed to stop her?

The girl with the mechanical arms can achieve abnormally high velocity, which can be an abnormally large pain in the ass.

Come on.

How long we been doing this?

Shelter charges.

I haven't seen these in a while.

Once the field goes up, nobody gets in or out.

Doesn't matter how fast.

Careful, Pax.

These things run hot, remember?

Remember?

That image scarred me for life.

I mean, not as badly as the guy who got his face fried off, 'cause he's dead, but still.

What about Snowflake?

Sorry, Jaco.
