[The Iliad - Cell]

Welp, Skye and I got kidnapped by the Inhumans and are now on a SHIELD ship being held captive in a cell. Power inhibitor cuffs are on us, so we can't use them, which is awesome.
Skye is trying to break hers off using the bars of the cell, "You want to lend me hand getting these things off? Or a face?" Skye jokes as she stares at Whitely

Then before we know it, Whitley is knocked unconscious and Mack walks in, "Mack? Thank god, who's with you?" Skye asks

I stand up, "Just you and me, Tremors" He glances at me, "You too, Firecracker. Your people just took over the ship" He unlocks the cell and we walk out, "About 100 or so prisoners. The rest are dead. Guess they're not as harmless as you say" He tells us

"I swear, I never meant for any of this to happen" Skye says

"Then we need to stop them. But if you two are in here, I'm guessing you figured that out already" Mack says

"What do you think?" I tell him

"It's my mother, she's manipulating them. Not all of these people are bad" Skye says

"They used their powers to kill SHIELD agents, so I don't give a damn about intentions right now. I came here because I need your skills" Mack says
"We can't use our powers. They locked these Inhibitors on us" Skye tells him

"Not the skills I'm looking for" He grabs out a laptop, "Heard you have a history of hacking into SHIELD" Mack tells her

Skye got us into the camera feed, as we watch Jiaying's plan unfold, killing every SHIELD agent in front of her, "If we don't cut that beacon, it'll bring every available agent racing here" Mack says
"And she plans to do that to all of them" Skye says

"Yeah, the problem is, it's hard wired, clear on the other side of the ship, with a dozen ginger ninjas and god knows who else standing in the way" Mack says
"But we're still gonna try?" Skye asks

"Hell yeah" Mack says as I say, "Of course we are, princess" before she shuts the laptop

Mack, Skye, and I are quickly making our way through the ship towards the beacon, "She just killed them. All of them. Didn't even think about it" Skye says
"Yeah, I thought my mom was bad when she started watching Fox News" Mack says
"And I fell for the whole act" Skye says

"Look, you had to choose between two..." He grabs us to go down the right hallway, "This way. This way. You had to choose between two sides, that both mean something. I get it. You make the best choice you can. Sometimes it works out, sometimes..." He says

"It didn't" Skye says as Mack says, "It did not"

"Understatement of the year, folks" I joke

We stop at a hallway, "Beacon's in the sat room, down and to the left. Go get started. Try to hack the code and turn it off" Make tells us

"Wait, where are you going?" I ask

"To find a pawner saw in case you can't" He tells us

[Sat Room]

Skye and I made it to the room, immediately finding the beacon panel. But as Skye is typing, "How'd you two get out?" We hear

We frantically turn to see Lincoln, "Lincoln, we can explain" Skye says

"Don't bother" He says before electricity crackles in his hand

Before I know it, he's shooting electricity at Skye and I, sending us into the wall, "You've got this wrong. Very wrong. Listen, please" Skye tries to tell him
