- One man seeks a leap to the distant stars
Through a rift on the Northwest Sea
A forbidden love finds a safe shore
And removes battle lines between foes.Quatrain 66, Century 3
Gua assassin Joshua is sent to eliminate a Gua human sympathizer. Foster is searching for a scientist too and unaware that their paths will cross once again. But what is the Gua fugitive hiding?
Tropes:
- Faking the Dead: Joshua helps Anita and James fake their death to avoid the Gua authorities.
- G-Rated Drug: The Gua can easily get addicted to table salt, although their High Command frowns on such weakness and orders the addicts killed. Joshua hunts down and kills an addict in the beginning of the episode.
- Immune to Drugs: The Gua hybrids are built to be stronger than regular humans and immune to our diseases and our drugs. But they get completely stoned on table salt. Joshua sees one of his peers with a martini and asks him what he's doing, since he can't get drunk.
- In Love with the Mark: Anita was sent to keep an eye on human scientist James Dutton, but fell in love with him instead.
