Episode 17: Spiral

For those of you that haven't seen the series and don't know what's going on (that's most of you) Tex and Church and all the teams in blood-gulch are only a memory inside of  a computer program. Church is the memory of alpha (the main computer program in the Free-lancer progarm).
Ahhhhh!!!!! The first time that Church and Tex have had a time to talk. This heartfilled moment is the first time that these 2 lovers have ever connected this way (too bad they're both computer programs in a memory device so it's not a real moment). While Tex is fixing the tank, Church tries to get information from her about her days in trainging and where she came from.
In the Free-lancers story , Maine has just captured the briefcase with the codes for the sarcophogus and York, Maine, and Carolina are leaving in their jeep to the extract point. The security forces have massed their force and are attempting to recapture the stolen briefcase. The forces are split into 2 sections. The jet pack troops and the Pelicans (the flying vehicles) are getting the briefcase. The second section is back up troops in jeepsgoing to reinforce the other men when the brief case is retrieved. The first group drops off their jet pack troops to engage the Free-lancers and recover the briefcase. They have 2 normal jet troops and one sniper. While the troops engage in a mini firefight, the sniper sets up to take out the agents. His first shot goes straight into Maines chest and knocks the big guy out. With the sniper now known about, Carolina takes cover.
Meanwhile Tex takes care of the second group with the help of her motorcycle and her rocket launcher. She is going solo on this mission and is attempting to take the briefcase back to HQ by herself.
With Maine out, Carolina is forced to defend the jeep by herself. The jetpack troops are relentless. They manage to overpower her and take the case. The jets troops and Carolina are flung onto a nearby truck and fight hand to hand (with a few guns) for the case. Maine eventually regains consienceness and manages to get rid of the sniper and joins Carolina in the fight. She kills one but the other trooper uses his pistol and shoots Maine in the throat. He manages to get up and blows the truck up and sends himself and the other troops flying. A trooper grabs the case just as the rest of the forces are coming. He gets on a ship and locks the raod down. Tex and Carolina begin a race to get the case back. Tex uses her motorcycle to take out the ship the troop was in and Carolina uses her speed to chase him down over the roof tops. She eventually catches up to him and knocks the case away from him. She slides down the road and hits a building and is knocked out. When she comes to Tex is standing over the case calling HQ that she aquired it and is heading back. A drop ship comes to pick Carolina up and inside you see the team all beat up and looking like they were just defeated.

  1. Very detailed, although I think you need a slightly more reader friendly format. Something that does not give the impression of reading a book, but of casually seeing an article.

    Otherwise, it's great stuff.

  2. This is a good blog, but instead of telling us about the episode, maybe talk about what you think of it
