## Synopsis

The FBI comes to Kollok to collect a friend.

## The Adventures of Bucket and Skye

**June 01**

Skye arrives slightly late for coffee with Bucket and he tells her, though he shouldn’t, that he is being reassigned to Kollok and she must finish her training with Director Bilfroy. He tells Skye that Dept. C are afraid of her because of how she got her powers compared to the other agents and explains that Rachel was harboring a great amount of Phobos’ energy the day she died.

Rachel gave the others their power but not Skye, leading Bucket to believe that Rachel was trying to spare her. Harmonia ensured that Skye got the equivalent of the power that was divided among her friends, when she gained her powers. He advises her to trust no one but herself, and to not do anything rash, before the recording breaks.

## Plot

**Prologue**

Laura reiterates who she is in her mind, that she is Laura Bennett, but Marcus’ voice tells her otherwise that she is but a clone of him. She repeats her mantra but Marcus’ voice takes over and adds that they the fallen star, they are their reckoning and they are Marcus Bennett.

**Act 1**

**8:50am, August 24**

(See; The Adventures of Skye and Bucket below) Skye manages to retrieve the tape of the last time she saw Bucket from the recorder before it is damaged. Having received a sealed envelope from Dept. C at 11 last night about Bucket’s death, Skye, at work now, worries about what returning to Kollok will mean. On her way to meet Director Bilfroy she runs into Agent S. Felders in the elevator and they head up together to the Directors office, for the first time since she graduated training and was given the position to watch over surveillance tapes in the basement. They exchange a few words as the Elevator stops and they are joined by Agents Blake and Rayner.

They reach Director Bilfroy’s office, kept in partial darkness & partitioned off by a glass wall, due to her condition. Bilfroy appears from the darkness and, after getting permission from the agents, begins to speak to them all in their minds about Bucket’s mission following IDS63, The Traveler. They thought him banished to a different Earth by Clarity Anah in 1986, and suspect his connection to the outbreak of Crocodile Tears and its ties to Phobos, the fire at the Kollok fire department, as well as the incident at the lake.

Speaking of the lake incident, Bilfroy also mentions what happened to Mike Hunt. and how Bucket vouched for Tibby’s innocence in that matter. Bucket investigated the fracking in relation to the lake and found traces of Flesh in footprints which tipped him off to something going on that led to a contamination. He discovered the fracking was a coverup between the Kollok Council and DARPA; he remained undercover to collect information, fearing that other parts of the government were creating drugs that could give their agents powers.

The last time she had contact with Bucket was a note he sent saying “the air in Kollok had changed.” She gives the agents their assignments, Skye and Felders will find Buckets files and continue his mission while Blake and Rayner retrieve Bucket’s body, though advises them to be careful to avoid another war. Bilfroy steps back into the darkness but Skye calls her back, confused that the Traveler is still alive and Bilfroy tells her that Bucket discovered The Traveler was inhabiting the body of Justin, who Skye recognizes from her time in Undecided. Bilfroy warns the agents of dealing with a body jumper before she leaves them.

The Agents take a plane to Portland and find a car waiting for them, with an agent who warns them about the rains before handing over the keys. On the drive, Skye informs them of the supernatural side of Kollok, some of which Agent Felders knows but let’s her explain to the others. Felders asks Skye to elaborate on Justin, and she tells them about his connection to a militia against the Traveler.

Agent Rayner shares his experience with dealing with a body jumper from his past, explaining that they can jump whenever they wish, not just at the point of death and that the Traveler probably jumped before she pulled the trigger. Skye also tells them of her friends having powers and briefly of her time travel, which is news to them as Bucket kept much of Skye’s past secret. The other three Agents press Skye about her and Bucket’s last meeting but wasn’t told anything important. Agent Raynor starts to ask her more but is distracted by the storm clouds up ahead, the state of the roads leading into the town and the flood waters threatening to wash over the road.

Agent Rayner navigates the road with ease and they arrive at Kollok where the clouds have broken with sunlight and, on their way to meet with their informant, take note at the flood waters pouring from the drains. They arrive at the Honey Bee Café and find Stevie Baker, Billy’s father, waiting for them at a table with another individual, Blind Earl. Stevie seemingly recognizes Skye but can’t place her and the agents sit down and talk.

Stevie explains that he dealt with Bucket though mostly worked with Agent Butterscotch, due to a debt he owes Dept. C. He describes that things have gotten strange of late and that he doesn’t believe what the Sheriff said happened to Bucket. He lets Blind Earl tell them that he overheard police deputies discussing the case, information that goes against the public story. Stevie mentions things seeming normal, even the lake incident and he brings up Billy working there. When the Agent’s inquire about Billy and how he got into a coma Stevie replies that they should already have it in Dept. C's files and the agents change the subject.

Stevie tells them that everything felt “normal” up until two weeks ago, around when Mike H. died, and now it doesn’t. Stevie tells them that there are others who are investigating things and tells them about the strange return of the town message board though no one knows who put it back up. Blind Earl interrupts Stevie as he hears deputies far up the road discussing watching the agents and Sheriff Bull telling them to keep them busy, while he gets rid of Bucket’s car at the junkyard. Though their food and drinks arrive they get up to leave, warned by Earl that the deputies are about to come for them.

They make it out the back of the café, to their car and Skye directs them to the junkyard, just in time to see Bucket’s car in the grips of a crane. They get out but are stopped by officer O’Riley as Bull, in control of the crane, begins to take the car into a compactor. Agent Blake grabs a pipe and with one hit, kills the deputy. Sheriff Bull opens fire on them from the crane and the agents scatter. Skye uses her power, and becomes invisible to the surprise of the others. Skye warns them of her plan to distract Bull and grabbing a large rock draws his gunfire. The others spread out and charge the Sheriff, allowing Skye to escape as he panics. Agent Blake throws Rayner at Bull and he connects with a punch, knocking them both into the crane cabin. Blake and Felders join Rayner and subdue Sheriff Bull and save Bucket’s car.

Bull warns them to let him go, that covering things up is better than the truth, when he hears Skye talking, and calls out mentioning her father. Blake takes Bull’s gun and threatens him with it, shooting him in the leg and beating him but Bull refuses to answer their questions, goading Blake about the death of his parents. Rayner has Felders take over the “interrogation” but Bull starts to take his own life, until Blake chokes him unconsciousness. When he does the agents note that Bull’s body begins to ripple and they back off as a massive centipede emerges from his mouth and begins to wrap around the crane and crush it under its strength. Agent Blake goes to the compactor and uses his power, boosted by Rayner’s, to absorb the potential energy from it into his fist as Felders’ bullets bounce off the insect’s carapace, doing nothing. Blake waits until the head of the insect is overhead and leaps up into the air and delivers a punch that sends him through the creature’s head. The body of the insect disperses into thousands of regular insects that scatter away as Blake lands, exhausted. The agents go over and inspect Bucket’s car, Skye sees the message carved in its top and disbelieving tells the others about killing Clarity and the existence of her clones. They search the car but find it empty. The Agents deal with the bodies. Noting that Sheriff Bull’s was taken by the bugs and head to the morgue.

They are greeted by Bailey Mickey and his assistant Jacob who takes them to Bucket’s body. Bailey, like Stevie, seems to recognize Skye but seeing her causes him confusion. The agents note the blood stains on the sheet covering Bucket and Bailey slips up mentioning that he has already begun work and noticed that the body began to deteriorate from the inside out at a rapid pace. Rayner takes the sheet off and Bailey and Jacob continue the autopsy in front of the agents. Rayner identifies how Bucket died, deeming it impossible by normal means and sharing his theory with the others, he also discovers something within Bucket’s body. They retrieve a metal cylinder that Bucket swallowed and inside it find a message to agent Felders asking him to reveal the cost of their powers; something that Felders has always known about: the cost of the powers is the lives of San Francisco’s homeless. He agrees to tell them later.

Felders then touches Bucket, using his power to detect the last emotions he felt before death. He explains his ability to Skye and tells the other agents what he felt, surmising that whomever killed Bucket, he knew them. Skye has a sidebar with Felders and tells him about being revived by a friend, and a possibility of reviving Bucket. Felders points out the rapid body deterioration but Skye’s hope encourages him and he tells the other agents to be careful with Buckets body on their way back home and wish them safe travels.

**Interlude**

Em catches up Billy A on the events that he missed since putting himself in a coma up until waking up again, and Billy hopes he can be like the Billy they made friends with.

**Act 2**

**6pm, August 24**

Skye and Agent Felders arrive outside Mallory’s house and she quickly brings him up to speed about her friends but she shows her nerves. They make their way to the door and knock. Em and Mickey A assure Mallory of their plan for this and he opens the door. Mallory greets them and behind him Skye and Felders see everyone in the living room. Skye runs inside and hugs Billy, and Mickey A. and introductions are made. Skye tells them of Bucket’s death and she picks up on their awkward responses. Felders pulls Skye aside and points out that they should have already known and Skye agrees. Skye inquires about Tibby and sees him as he exits a room and walks by into the kitchen. Skye tries to talk to him but he refuses. Laura slips up saying he’s taking Bucket’s loss hard and Skye and Felders confront them with them lying. Skye goes to grab Mallory but avoids her.

Laura asks Felders to explain and he lays out the reason they are here and the group agree to answer their questions. Felders chooses a nervous Mallory to go first and starts his questioning and with assistance by Skye gets him to break, seeing the group’s story written on his hand. Seeing this Laura lies convincingly to Felders and Em asks Skye if the group can talk to her privately, saying that they trust her, but Skye is unsure. Mickey A’s anger towards Skye leaving Prime A behind, causes her to speak up.

Tibby tells Skye about Mickey A, who confirms his story and then confronts Skye with abandoning her. Skye tearfully voices her feelings and regrets about Prime A and Tibby hugs her and apologizes over Bucket. Tibby tells her about his lack of sleep, the Black Rock and angrily pleads for her help. Skye tells him about possibly reviving Bucket and Em and Mickey A reveal the situation about their powers. The group sidebar, Mickey A revealing she can walk to Skye, and discuss telling Skye the truth, including about Ven. Tibby continues to plead for Skye’s help retrieving Mickey, and Mickey A voices no longer wanting to stay, though Skye wants her to.

The group tell Skye and Felders about Ven, Em explaining their history and takes the blame for Bucket’s death. Ven reveals herself, having overheard everything from the kitchen, and admits though now she knows that not all of Harmonia are evil, has no regrets about killing Bucket. Ven’s words upset Skye and Billy leaves the room undetected, as Ven walks up close and confronts Skye with her ignorance about the cost of her own powers. Angered, Skye uses her power, and this time teleports away to her empty bedroom at her old house, to the shock of the others who blame Ven for doing it. Felders draws his gun and Ven turns her attention to him and using her power pins him against the wall.

Mickey A, still not knowing the new cost of her power, tries to send Ven’s ego to No-Place, but detects the other Clarity Clones who are able to protect Ven from her power. Instead, Ven’s left arm vanishes as Skye pays the price of Mickey’s power use and loses her right arm. Ven turns to Mickey with the intent to use her power but Em opens a portal right beneath her feet. The two lock eyes, Em knowing that Ven lets herself fall and has sent her 30 years into the future. Bleeding out, Skye uses her training, stops the bleeding and calls for an ambulance.

Back at Mallory’s, Felders gently talks to the group about what happened and asks about Skye. Mickey A uses her power to find her, feeling the injury that she inflicted and tells him. Trusting the look in Em’s eyes that Ven has been dealt with, he leaves to find Skye but notices an injured EMT holding on to the car, and sees that his face is melting. The EMT reaches out, pleading for help, but Felders’ connection to the dead warns him of something is up and he goes for his gun.
