We walk out of the command center, "I thought Hydra was defeated after World War II" Fitz says

"It was. SHIELD was founded in the wake of that victory" Coulson says
"And now they're back?" Fitz asks

"Hydra always comes back" Garrett says
"Cut off the head, two more will take its place" Coulson says

"Is it a head? I thought it was a limb" Garrett says
"No no" Fitz says

"Cut off a limb" Garrett says

"It's a head" Coulson says

"Okay get back on topic everyone" I say

"But it was sent from a SHIELD source. It's got to be some sort of activation signal to Hydra members within SHIELD" Skye says

"Hand must be one of them" Coulson says

"Okay, stop, stop. What does that mean? In SHIELD?" Fitz asks

"Targeting Level 8 agents, seizing power. Wonder how deep it goes" Garrett says
"This signal is everywhere. Deep" Skye says

"You know what this means?" Coulson asks

"Yeah, we're screwed" Garrett says
"We can't change course. And we have no idea what's waiting for us at the Hub" Coulson says
"The Hub" Fitz says

"I say we blow a hole in the side of this puppy and parachute out. Live to fight another day" Garrett says

"We can't" Coulson says

"It's a cherry ride, I'll give you that, but let's not just hand over the keys" Garrett says

"Simmons is at the Hub. We have to save her" Fitz says

"Oh, crap, yeah. Trip's there too. I don't mind saying, I don't like the odds on this one. We should let your other specialist out of their cage. We can use every weapon we can get" Garrett says
"We've gotta save her" Skye says

"So, we'll fly in there, face the music. Even if it is the Hydra theme song" Coulson says

[The Hub]

Once we land at the Hub, we are being shot at. Skye, Fitz, Garret, and I are in the main room when Ward walks out, "Sir, what is going on?" He asks

"A whole lot" Garrett says

"Who is shooting at us?" Ward asks
"Come here, let me catch you up" They take a step to the side, "Apparently, Agent Hand is The Clairvoyant, so chew on that first" Garrett tells him

Then there is machine gun fire throughout the plane. I grab Skye and shield her as the gunfire rings out. After that, we all head down to the weapons area, to collect everything we need, "Can that be true? About Fury?" Ward asks

"Man was my SO, Coulson's too. Proved himself more than once to be a hard man to kill. That sound outside downs bode well, though" Garrett walks towards Skye, Fitz, and I, "Is there anything on here that you don't want them to get their hands on?" He asks

Ward gives Skye and I a look, knowing exactly what he means. Fitz cuts the hydraulics so that the agents need to pry the door open. Then I lead Skye to the lab as Ward and Coulson meet us shortly after, "The 084 specs, Asgardian weaponry, portal creation, Donnie's weather machine. If they get their hands on Gravitonium in the Fridge..." Ward says
"It's below the Fridge. No records" Coulson says

"Okay but on the off chance, we'd give them the designs to weaponize it. The drug from Tahiti, sir? All here. If Hydra is really about to seize this plane..." Ward says
"We should wipe the system" Coulson says
"I'm backing it up on this hard drive to keep our edge" Skye says
