LOGINWe see Ryan sleeping on a expensive looking couch and other expensive things strewn about the apartment. We see Ryan stir and then wakes up and groggily sits up nursing his head.
Ryan Shepard
(Groans)
What the hell happened last night, feels like I've been hit with a fucking freight train!
X
That was my doing, I had sensed Spencer's thoughts. He was going to shut down the project, which included the lab…and me
Ryan Shepard
I knew it… But next time you feel like jumping into a body, give me a little more warning!
X
My apologies Ryan!
But I had little choice.
Ryan Shepard
Don't call me Ryan, you sound like my step mother. Call me Shepard.
X
As you wish, Shepard. I can read your thoughts. Spencer will realise, that I am gone and will come after…
Ryan Shepard
What is it?
X
I saw… Something… One of your memories…
Ryan Shepard
(Laughs)
Which one?
X
Do you not remember your past?!
Ryan
Nope, I was in a horrific accident years ago. Total amnesia!
X
I see…
Ryan Shepard
Why? What's wrong?!
X
It does not matter….
Suddenly the doorbell rings and Ryan gets up uneasily to answer it. The door opens automatically and a young woman is standing there. He greets her into the apartment and they both sit down.
Ryan Shepard
What are you doing here Alice?!
Let me guess, your father sent you to check up on me!
Alice Spencer
No, but he says there’ll be a investigation into the disappearance, of project 2.4.1-7…
Ryan Shepard
You mean X, right?!
Alice Spencer
Indeed, but he knows the truth. He’s seen the tapes!
Ryan's eyes change to bright gold.
X
So he knows I jumped into Shepard's body, I deduce that you're going to hand us over.
Alice Spencer
You can trust me!
Both of you.
X
That remains to be seen, you are the female equivalent of your father, Alice… You have the same deceitful traits…
Alice Spencer
(Angrily)
How dare say that!
I'm NOTHING like that tight ass mother fucker.
X
My apologies Alice, but we both have our reasons to distrust you. Your actions will prove to us, that we can trust you.
Ryan's eyes change back to normal.
Ryan Shepard
X is right Alice. You gotta prove to us…
Alice Spencer
You can, i'll prove it you… Honest…
Alice places her hand tenderly on his cheek and a blurred image is seen briefly. Ryan tries to shake off what he thought he saw.
Ryan Shepard
What the hell…
He starts to go unconscious but X takes control of his body and looks sternly at Alice
X
What did you just do?!
I know, you're inhabiting Alice's body… kyella
Alice's eyes change to bright purple.
Kyella
It is good to see you again, my love…
Kyella gives X a hug and kisses him on the cheek.
X
It is good to see you too, but we have a more pressing matter to attend to.
Kyella
I didn't mean to…
X
I know you didn't… But it has set things in motion. I will guide him through his journey… He's waking up…
Alice's eyes return to normal as Ryan regains consciousness.
Ryan Shepard
What happened?
X
You blacked out, I had to assume control of your body before you injured yourself.
Ryan Shepard
Thanks X!
X
It is my pleasure,
My friend.
Alice Spencer
I gotta go, before my dad gets pissy. Take care of him… X.
X
Don't worry I will.
Alice leaves the apartment but turns to look at Ryan and smiles then continues to leave.

Unknown Planet:Unknown TimeWe see were on an unknown planet.We see destroyed buildings and humanoid beings running in panic.

We are inside a broken down shady lab a light flickers on and off. We see a body strapped to a table and two men standing over the body.

We are inside a dimly light lab at the New Energy Organization. We drift down to see scientists going about their business, we see a large metal container alive with a bright gold energy. We see the main scientist approach the container looking at it from time to time and taking notes.
