"Well, I'm really glad you were the one calling the shots." Ray says to Leonard sarcastically as we walk towards the bridge. "I had it under control until the Professor started picking fights with the PLO." Leonard defends. "You let your ego endanger our entire mission." Carter says to Stein. "No, Mr. Rory's temper got completely out of control..." Stein deflects the blame to Mick. "I thought we were friends, Professor." Mick says. "At least there's one less nuclear bomb on the planet." Kendra says trying to think positively.

We are now in the Bridge. Rip is clapping sarcastically "Here, here. Now you all deserve a hearty congratulations. Not only did you fail to capture Savage, you exposed yourselves and your powers to him, giving away the element of surprise for now and all time. Well done, team."
"We don't need the element of surprise.
We know he's in Norway, so let's find him..." Rip cuts him off "Unfortunately, we now have larger problems than Savage. If only you'd have listened to me about the dangers of upsetting the timeline." Rip angrily slams his hands on the computer table. I sit against a wall trying to stop this massive headache I know have because I've used my powers to much.

"What are you talking about?" Kendra asks. "While you were busy saving Norway from nuclear annihilation..." Rip starts. "You're welcome, Norway." Mick mutters. "Savage sent one of his cronies back to the site of the arms sale. Anyone care to guess what he found?"

"Whoops." Ray says looking at his suit.

"I am unversed in modern American colloquialisms. Is "Whoops" slang for "Oh"..." Gideon asks.

"Yes, Dr. Palmer seems to have thrown a spanner in the works for the entire timeline." Rip is pissed.

"Come again?" Leonard asks. "Armed with Dr. Palmer's future technology, Savage's engineers develop a weapon far more destructive than anything here in 1975. This is Central City in 2016. At least it was. I'm not sure what the neo-fascists who took control of it are calling it these days." Rip shows us a holographic projection of what central city looks like now in 2016. It's terrible everything is on fire.

Everyone sighs.

"There must be a way to correct this somehow." Stein says hopeful. "Fortunately, Gideon is just showing us a forecast of the future you've all created. Time is like cement. It takes time to become permanent. In this case, until Savage's team have worked out the mystery of your future technology and molded it to their own ends. And when they do, what you see here is no longer just a forecast. This..." Rip sighs "This is history." Kendra and Carter leave.

"So thanks to Raymond leaving a piece of his suit in the past, the rest of us don't have a future to go back to?" Leonard runs through the situation. I haven't moved from my spot and my headache is getting worse.

"Unless we do something to change this course of events, the future will become immutable." Rip says. "Exactly how much time do we have?" Ray asks.
"Until Savage's weapons team reverse-engineer your tech." Rip tells him.
"We're talking 1970s terrorists with 21st-century weapons because that's the safest thing I've ever heard." Blake says sarcastically.

"since we don't know where Savage went..." Stein starts. "We don't have to find Savage. We just have to find the other piece of my suit. Which shrinks because it's made of an alloy which mimics intra-molecular compression of dwarf star, thus emitting Alpha Particles. So we just need to be able to track them." Ray's spirits rise. "Fortunately, Alpha Particles are highly trackable." Stein says in a happier mood, "Yet unheard of in the 1970s.
It's like we're trapped in the Stone Age." Ray complains. "I'll have you know that I was researching Alpha Particles when you were eating crayons." Stein told Ray. "So to track that piece of Raymond's super-suit, we just need to talk to..." Leonard starts. "Me. 25-year-old me, rather." Kendra and Carter enter. "You two are just in time." Rip says, "Show them, Kendra." Carter says. She give Rip a newspaper article. "Aldus was carrying this when he was killed. It's a newspaper article about an Egyptian dagger." Kendra starts. "The one Savage used to kill us." Carter adds. "In Central City, we learned that objects associated with the night of our deaths can also be used to kill Savage." Kendra continues. "According to Aldus's notes, the dagger needs to be wielded in conjunction with an incantation inscribed on it." Carter finishes.

"What does this incantation say?" Stein asks. "I don't know. I can't read the language." Kendra replies. "It's okay. I'll help you remember." Carter reassures her.

"Splendid. Now, as for the dagger..." Rip starts. Leonard takes the newspaper article out of his hand. "You need someone to steal it. Okay, fine.
Whatever. I'll do it. Article says it was purchased by some rich Russian douche bag named Sasha Mahnovski."
"I'll go with you." Ray speaks up. "I already got a partner." Leonard argues.
"Who I trust even less than you." Ray insults. "Look, you're more than welcome to go with them. Just don't take along any of your future tech." The three leave. Stein is about to leave as well. "Oy! Where do you think you're going? To break into my old lab and bring us back the particle tracker."

"Fine, but perhaps, you should take Jefferson and Sara with you to act as your intermediaries. Look, interacting with yourself in the past can have catastrophic effects upon the future." Rip explains.

"Fascinating. Let's go." Stein smiles.

"Setting a course for the United States, Captain."

Everyone is doing what they are meant to be doing and I'm still trying to get rid of this headache. Blake went with Leonard to steel the dagger. "Miss heart are you okay?" Rip asks. "Yeah I guess." I reply. "Do you happen to have anything to stop a headache?" I ask. "Indeed why miss Heart?" He asks. "Well I think I used to much of my powers and now I've got a bad headache but it should pass." I say. "Follow me to the MedBay where Gideon will give you something for that headache." Rip tells me. I get up and walk down to the MedBay with Rip.

We are halfway there when a wave of dizziness hits me and I feel myself falling. Rip has caught me, he's trying to keep me up. "Miss Heart I need you to try and stand while I help you get to the MedBay." I manage to get to my feet and Rip helps me to the MedBay.

Rip helps me into one is the beds. He Gets Gideon to give me some meds for the pain.

"Thanks Rip I'm feeling much better, and thank you Gideon." "Your very welcome Miss Heart; may I suggest you get some sleep. And try and not use your powers to much. I nod and go to my room but I can't sleep so I start to draw.
