MEETING OF MINDS

Transcript:
Weaver: Thank you all for coming. I can see from your faces you look worried.
Strauss: Concerned. Not worried. There is a difference.
Carver: *sighs*
Weaver: We believe we have identified the purpose behind 'Outpost 25' - Omega's secret base in Vietnam.
Grey: And what is its purpose?
Weaver: My contacts believe they have developed the technology to enter into the Dark Aether at will.
Strauss: How marvelous.
Carver: No, it is not fucking marvelous. It's another indication that we are losing this war.
Weaver: Intel suggests they have successfully harnessed the energy of the crystals - For purposes not yet known.
Grey: We have to send the team in. This is a chance to ... Why are you raising your eyebrows like that?
Strauss: I think the Major is reminding you - and not very subtly - that this is a military operation. We are merely advisors.
Grey: Well, am I wrong? We are going in - right?
Weaver: Doctor Grey is correct. We need to send the team to secure their research... but we also have to extract a prisoner.
Carver: Your Russian contact? Surely he's burned - or maybe even playing us for fools. This has got wrong written all over it.
Weaver: No. The Russian contact is not a priority. I'm talking about someone else - Agent Samantha Maxis.
Strauss: Ah, yes. The mysterious Ms. Maxis. I thought she was 'more than capable' of taking care of herself?
Weaver: She is. But there's another player in the mix. One who may go out of his way to bring her harm.
Weaver: William Peck.
Strauss: Oh, that's not good - Peck is a 'nasty piece of work'.
