How does the episode open with the violent confrontation and Mercury’s death?
Mercury lies on the floor in horrific agony, his body riddled with metal splinters that prevent him from moving. He's pale, and Paul you can hear his heart struggling to beat properly. Likely there are shards of metal stuck inside him as well. You weren't sure what hitting him with potassium would do, but the evident results appear to be fatal. Dramatically, cinematically, sweep out of the
room. He's just leaving. I see that. Why is he leaving? Our target is still alive. Oh god, he's a super villain. He's He must have said the one liner and now he's walking away. Okay, that's no good. Do you think you can try to finish the job with the handgun? It'd be asinine to leave this half finished. Yeah, let's see how it goes. I get out my handgun and fire a few rounds at Mercury.
Bang! Bang bang! You fire a few rounds. Mercury does not instinctively turn into liquid metal this time. The bullets connect and the man dies. Alright, now let's get out
of here. Between the gunshots and the explosions, the cops are on their
way.
Yeah, I'll take off running. Make sure I don't bump into anyone around the corners.
Lowry, in the form of freeze frame, back on board the unstoppable fortress, you're asleep in your office. One of the staff came to knock on your door and made you aware of the commotion on Luna Island.
I see. Thank you. I'll have to start making phone calls. Get a hold of Perry Fingus, Chief of Police.
He answers. He says
Lowry,
I was wondering
when you'd
call.
I called as soon as I was informed, Perry. What can you tell me about the Luna Island situation?
Not a lot. We know that Luna must be dead. We're forming a loose cordon around the island right now. A few flight capable supervillains have escaped, and we're trying to track them down. Most of the others are still on the island, as far as we know. We haven't heard anything from staff or guards on the island, so we have to assume that Luna died suddenly and without warning. It's the worst case scenario for the place. Do we have any air coverage? We'd love that, but we don't really want to risk having a helicopter shot down. We're having people do a full risk assessment on everyone at the prison and what kind of capabilities we might be dealing with. If we find that there's nobody capable of hurling super accurate magical fireballs hundreds of feet in the air, we'll get a bird's eye on it then.
Right.
Well
we are standing by. Keep us in the loop. Fingus hangs up. Can someone get me any information on Kimon or Flux? Where are they?
Whatever crew member is expected to wait on you says, Well, sir, he went home with the day shift. As for Kimon, he hasn't checked in with us since he was last here to see you.
Very good. Give them both a call and summon them to the unstoppable fortress. Prepare a charter vessel to bring them in.
Yes, sir, we'll have the dispatcher get right on it.
Oh, and uh call Kelvin MacDonald. I think this qualifies as a big event, and he wanted to see the vessel in action. Send him a polite invitation.
Elvis As Flux, you get a phone call in the middle of the night. I believe that you're still staying at the hotel with your mom. Hello? Hi, Mr. Elvis. I'm calling from the unstoppable fortress. There's been an incident involving Luna Island and you're requested to make an appearance. Luna Island?
Why are Kimon and Elvis summoned to the Unstoppable Fortress after the murder?
What happened at Luna Island? Current reports believe that Luna must have died, and Freezeframe wants to discuss the company's response.
Oh, all right. I get up and I get dressed.
Your mom, who was sleeping in the other bed, says Elvis, honey, what's going on? They said something happened to Luna, and
I
guess they have to figure it
out.
But I thought they weren't gonna have you do any more field work.
Well, I think Lowry understands that, but I'm still important to planning and everything. I'm a technical hero, Mom, I can provide all kinds of insights.
What kinds of insights do you think they want you to have? Uh well, how to contain the villains on the island, I guess. Honestly, that island was a bad idea from the start. There's not too many villains there. How many is not too many?
