Have You Seen Me

## S.2.5 E.1 "Have You Seen Me?": Summary

Over the last few months, Jessie "JD" Davis had researched any strange events that had occurred. JD finds one article in the papers from 1968. A stegosaurus was spotted outside Garret in the fields. There were two eyewitnesses. There were no further articles of stegosaurus sightings beyond the one.

### Saturday, December 3, 1988

#### Mayoral Residence

* There's a milk carton on JD's breakfast table. On the back, it reads: "Have you seen me? Casey "Mitch" Mitchell 5/4/1974"
* Shortly after JD awakens, the Mitchie-Talkie he found at The Paperback Exchange comes to life and spits out Morse code. JD takes notes and heads down for breakfast.
* JD's father has won his campaign for Mayor and they have just moved to the new Mayoral residence.
* JD asks his mother about the Morse code and she gives him the first few words of the message ("Got the") but encourages him to figure out the rest himself.
* His mother makes it clear that he must be at the Tree Lighting Ceremony at 7:30 that evening.

#### Blake Residence

* Scarlet Blake is taking an early morning jog, thinking about the injustice of Coach Salts, the Braddock High School football coach), who was heard stating that he would never have a girl on his team.
* As she runs through town we learn that ALTA has been making their way into the homes of the citizens of Garrett. "ALTA Cable" has been highly active, installing cable in many homes. "Mountain Fresh Air: An ALTA Subsidiary" has been installing central air in many homes (during the month of December.)
* She comes to a construction site and sees a trailer door open emitting a familiar electric blue light (the same blue as from Castle Grayskull).
* She hears workers talking and learns that in Dec 1988, the construction of this facility was temporarily halted due to frozen ground but work was on schedule to be completed for a deadline in March 1989. "We'll be right on schedule come the thaw in February. Plenty of time before March."
* Back at home, on Scarlet's table is a milk carton. On the back, it reads: "Have you seen me? Jerry Baker 11/14/1974"
* When she talks to her brother Kyle Blake, she learns he is scheduled to be at the Tree Lighting Ceremony that night.

#### Lewis Farm

* On Derrick "Ricky" Lewis's breakfast table is a milk carton. On the back, it reads: "Have you seen me? Shannon Locke 7/3/1973"
* His father asks whether he's been playing with the tractor. There're ruts and burn marks in the fields. Ultimately, they determine it must be that "Bradley boy." His father decides to have words with the boy's dad. He leaves Ricky with instructions to check the levels in the silo.
* The field outside is deeply gouged, with swaths of earth missing. There are long burn marks.
* When Ricky heads out to the silo, he senses a presence, and he catches sight of three pairs of eyes dancing in the shadows. As one, the three pairs of eyes wink.

#### A Dream

* Heather Jones is dreaming. She's flying on the back of Falcor the Luck Dragon above Maryland. She sees the Lewis Farm but it's obscured by a cloud.
* As they fly around Garrett, she sees Atreau and Artax from Never Ending Story; Willow, Madmartigan and Sorscha from Willow; Jack and Lily from Legend.
* There's a dark fog clinging to the town of Garret. It clings to every building.
	+ Falcor: The evil has returned, Heather. It will come all at once. Many paths lie before you. No matter how desperate it seems, you and your friends must stay together. The enemy is strong and getting stronger. Only together can you hope to win.
	+ Falcor: You're getting pulled from me, Heather.
	+ Heather: No! Stay! Stay!
	+ Falcor: I'm trying!
* As Heather is pulled away and begins to fall, Falcor chases her: We will be ready when the veil falls. Call for us. Call our names. Atreau, Artax, Willow, Madmartigan, Sorscha, Jack, Lily, Falcor!

#### Jones Residence

* When she wakes up, Heather sneaks out of her house. Back on her breakfast table is a milk carton. On the back it reads "Have you seen me? Ben McKenzie 4/15/1975"
* Her bicycle's wheel is flat. She's sure her sister is to blame. Remarkably, her sister is already awake and gone.

#### Keystone Hideout

* The kids meet up in JD's attic office that they have converted into a hangout space.
* They compare notes
	+ They decide they should go to the library to decode the message.
	+ JD shares that he has to be at the Tree Lighting Ceremony by 7:30.
	+ Ricky shares that he's seeing eyes in the shadows, and that he needs to go back to the farm and check the levels of the silo.
	+ Heather shares that she had a dream that a darkness was descending on the town, and that there was a shadow over Ricky's farm.
	+ Scarlet shares the blue light she saw coming out of the trailer that was like the light in Castle Grayskull.
	+ They decide they also should fix the air in Heather's bike tire.
* The Lewis Farm is the first stop. They have two bikes. Heather and Ricky ride on Ricky's bike. Scarlet and JD ride on JD's bike.
* As they set out, it's a little after 10AM.
* When they approach the farm, Scarlet can smell the coppery, electric smell that they remember from Castle Greyskull.
* Heather notices that the ruts and burns create a straight line to the silo. It appears that something passed through the field on the way to the silo.
* Scarlet, Ricky and JD enter the silo. Concerned about the creatures with eyes in the shadow, Scarlet finds a wrench. Ricky opens the door for her and she goes in swinging but there's nothing there. Ricky heads up the ladder to start counting the grain while Scarlet keeps watch. With the coast clear, Heather checks the ruts in the ground near the silo.
* Ricky notices that the top of the silo has been damaged. He opens the hatch and peers inside. The levels are higher than they should be. In the middle of the grain is a blue light - something rises out from the grain, and he hears a voice.
	+ Optimus Prime: "Do not be afraid. I mean you no harm."
* Outside, Heather notices that the ruts have a blue liquid in them that she knows to be Energon (from Castle Grayskull). She looks up and sees a dozen small spindly shapes running toward her.
