CASPIAN SEA

"Guys. We got a little company," Tej says as he walks down the stairs, causing Dom and Letty to look at him while Mia and Roselyn follow him down the stairs. "Think you know these people."

"It's so good to see you," Letty says as she pulls Mia into a hug while Roselyn pats Tej's shoulder.

"I missed you," Mia says as she hugs her back before pulling back while still holding Letty's hands. "Thank you."

"Of course," Letty tells her with a nod before Mia makes her way over to Dom while Roselyn hugs Letty.

"You should've told me," Mia says with a stern look while Dom tries to come to terms with her being there.

"They both deserved to know," Letty admits with a sigh while looking down.

"Jakob's our brother, too. I need to be here," Roselyn says with a slight nod while motioning to Mia.

"You both get involved here, you put everything you both have at risk," Dom says as he looks from Mia and Roselyn to Letty. "Your kids and the whole world that you built."

"We're all risking something," Mia says as she shakes her head before grabbing Dom by his shoulders so that he will focus on her. "Dom, listen to me. My kids and yours are in the safest hands possible."

"With Brian," Letty says with a smile.

"And the father of mine is a trained killer," Roselyn adds jokingly with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Our world's grown, Dom. We got this one," Mia tells Dom with a confident nod before he pulls her and Roselyn into a hug.

"So, the firewall on this old thing is actually pretty good. But, you know, port scan, UDP message peek, pop to root shell, and," Ramsey explains to the team while typing on her computer. "Say hello to Project Aries."

The screen behind her starts to show the full device that the piece they had found, before calling Mia and Roselyn, goes to.

"What is it?" Mia asks as she looks at the screen confused.

"It's what we got from Mr. Nobody's plane. Or at least part of it," Letty answers as she looks from the screen to Mia and Roselyn.

"Aries was designed to override and assimilate anything that runs on code. Any computer anywhere. If it operates on zeros and ones, it's vulnerable," Ramsey explains as the function of the device shows behind her on the screens. "Aries can own it."

"It can weaponize anything," Tej adds as he explains deeper. "Someone could burn your house down with your refrigerator if the wanted to."

"Oh, so, now my refrigerator's gonna kill me?" Roman asks as he looks between the two.

"It could be made to," Ramsey answers him with a nod.

"How about my George Foreman Grill or foot massager?" Roman asks in a sarcastic manner before laughing.

"Do you know how it feels to create something that could end the world?" Ramsey asks as she looks at Roman.

"No," Roman answers as he glances around at everyone.

"Well, I do," Ramsey tells him while Letty smiles at Roman's shock that Ramsey zeroed him out. "And this will. If you take Aries and upload it to a satellite, it'll spread like a virus. Then it'll be a matter of time before someone can control any weapon system... traditional, nuclear, stuff we haven't even seen yet... and just point it wherever they want. Jakob reboots the world order within minutes."

"Ares is the god of war, right?" Roselyn asks as she looks at Ramsey, who nods before looking at everyone else. "If Jakob gets his hands on this, he'll be the god of damn near everything."

"Because of how dangerous it was, the Aries prototype was recovered and split into two halves by Mr. Nobody. Both of which are worthless without the activation key," Ramsey explains as the screens move with her explanation. "Jakob now has one of the pieces. He'll be going after the other half next. As for the key, it's... it's vanished."

"So we find it," Dom says which causes everyone to look at him. "If we're gonna beat Jakob to it, we're gonna have to split up. Roman, Tej, I know a couple of guys operating out of Germany that could get us anything we need."

"I'm on it," Roman says with a nod.

"Wait, there's one more thing," Tej says which gains everyone's attention. "Mr. Nobody's transmission had one name connected to the key. You guys are gonna want to brace yourselves for this." Tej types on his computer before Han's profile is pulled up on the screen.

"No way," Letty says as everyone looks at the screen in shock.

"That's exactly what I said," Tej agrees with a nod.

"So you're saying Han's death is connected to all of this?" Roman asks as he points at the screen with Han's picture.

"He has to have something to do with it," Mia says as she looks at him with a shrug.

"Mr. Nobody would not tie Han to this if he were truly dead," Roselyn thinks aloud as she remembers how Mr. Nobody was as far as setting her up to go after Owen. "Han has to be in hiding."

"I'll look into it," Letty offers as she looks over at Tej. "Tej, can you send me all the files you have on Han?"

"Yeah," Tej agrees before he gets to work on that while Mia and Roselyn share a look.

"We'll go with you," Mia tells Letty as she motions to Roselyn.

"Letty," Dom says as he remembers the postcard that he had pulled out of the drawer in their garage. "I got this the day Han died."

"Mexico," Letty says as she recognizes the cross and place.

"Check the postmark," Dom tells her which causes her to flip the postcard to reveal a Tokyo, Japan postmark. "Whatever he was up to, it ended or started here."

"Tokyo," Letty says in slight shock since that is where Han died.

"What are you gonna do about Jakob?" Roselyn asks as she looks at her brother, since she had been closer to Jakob.

"I'm gonna find him," Dom answers her, causing Mia to look at him worriedly because she still cares about Jakob.

"How?" Mia asks with a raised eyebrow.

"An old friend," Dom answers with a slight frown, knowing none of them other than maybe Roselyn has really spoken to him since the whole thing with Jakob.

"Buddy," Roselyn realizes as a small smile graces her face because she has in fact stayed in touch with him. "He still lives at the same place. Also before I forget, Owen said if we need any help to call him."
