Fusion

## Plot synopsis

Philip is getting ready for his new job at a temp agency, Icharus power plant. He believes he's late but Claire explains it's a power out. Luna questions why all those power outs happen but Martin jokes about it. He tells the others that he is essentially a mailman, though makes the job seem more impressive then it is. The others encourage him.

At his first day, Philip meets Jack Staffer. Philip is disappointed in his job. He befriends Jack but is confused when he sees mail for a Sector 7. The box is very secure and Jack lets it slip that it's a secret and now apperently defunct sector but refuses to share any more info after saying it's not healthy to ask too many questions about it.

Jack and Philip meet the others at Jerzy K's. Martin is curious about Sector 7. Martin is suspicious but Jack says he isn't as suspicious about it. Luna announces that it's closing time and asks Philip if he wants to stay as she closes up. They walk home and notice suspicious activity in the power plant.

The next day, Philip is working but gets curious about Sector 7 and steals Jack's key card to sneak there. Meanwhile, Luna is opening at work when she hears a news report about how the power plant is increasing security. Philip scans the key card and sets off an alarm. Luna has a vision of people from Icharus power plant killing Jack and calls Philip to warn him. Luna goes to tell the others and with the spare ID cards Jack accidentally left the day before, Philip goes to find Jack but a guard catches him. Philip is disappointed to find out that Rifters were behind it.

Luna, Martin and Claire locate Philip's office but find it empty save for the smell of Philip's (bad) cologne. Claire uses her power to find him and see him taken away by a guard. The others hear him trying to convince the guard to let him go. Once the guard gets to the mail room, Luna, Claire and Martin fight the guard, impressing Philip. They agree to go Delta, hiding in a broom closet Philip found earlier.

Von Hayek, the rifter in charge of the power plant points out how he discovered cold fusion to be a more powerful and reliable power source for the rifter species. He mentions that rifters are almost immortal and tries to get other rifters from the cold fusion experiment to kill the four but they fight them off, however Von Hayek catches Luna. The others are failing to free her but then work together and have enough power to save Luna and defeat Von Hayek. They leave the Delta State.

Back at Jerzy K's, Jack meets up with the others but is confused and cannot remember the events that took place at Icharus. The others say it's alright that he was confused, Philip gets another job offer but Claire suggests that it's a good idea that Philip stays unemployed for a bit.
