## Summary

The group arrives at the power plant and begins their investigations. When they arrive, Sammie gets a call from the Order and Blue fills her in on finding out someone has died from fright. He has a feeling that the creature is connected to an artifact and wants her to collect that object for him. Bjorn talks to a cop parked outside the power plant who tells him that the victim was found after working late last night. He again tells them to talk to Ralph Lloyd, Dale's friend.

Bjorn investigates the area where the body was found and doesn't see tracks of any kind. It doesn't look like anything has even touched the ground near here. Sammie investigates Dale's car, she finds the door is still open. She sees that the radio is on, but all the way down. She also finds a small tube that, upon closer inspection, seems to have held urine. There's a note attached to it that says "From Ralph, with love."

Once inside the plant, they're directed to speak with Glenn, who is Dale and Ralph's boss. Glenn informs them Ralph is on his lunch break and will be back soon. In the meantime, they ask Glenn about Dale. He informs them that Dale was not the best worker and he was actually planning on letting him go. He says that he always smelled like alcohol and seemed to be constantly stoned, but kept passing his drug tests. Glenn is the one that found Dale's body and seems to suspect he died from some kind of drug overdose.

Bjorn, Sammie, and Henry head down to the security office to see if there's any footage from last night that they can view. They watch security footage of Dale stopping his car in the road, getting out of his car, and turning back towards the power plant before his face contorts into the look of fear they saw on the dead body. The only other car in the parking lot is Ralph's red truck. After reviewing the footage, they also investigate Dale's locker. They find some unmarked pills that were sewn into a hidden pocket in one of Dale's work shirts. Bjorn puts them into a bag for further investigation.

Ralph approaches them at the lockers. Bjorn flips his badge and informs him they need to ask questions about Dale. Ralph says that he was the last person to see Dale alive and all he said was that he was going to see his girlfriend. Henry tries to ask him further questions, but he doesn't seem to have anything to say. Sammie confronts him with the tube she found in Dale's car. Henry threatens him with a knife and he finally starts to talk. Ralph says that Dale was using drugs, but didn't want to tell anyone.

The crew decides to head back to the Fort to do some more research. Miguel is in his workshop and Stanley is working on the computer. They share all the information they've found with them. Miguel takes the pills for study and identification. Bjorn notices that Stanley looks tired and asks if he's alright. Stanley quickly dismisses it and just says it's been a long day. Bjorn and Sammie head back home for the night.

Around 3AM, a young man stumbles out of a bar and then into his car. He drives down the road for a bit until he slams on the brakes, his face frozen in fear. He's only there, frozen, for a few moments before a big rig plows through the intersection and into his car.
