Cole went to reboot the Satellite connection and blast shards as Cassie ran around picking up dead drops and blast shards as well, then regroup at the gas station, climb it and sat on the roof. "Got all the Satellites updated and connected and a few blast shards, you?" he asks as he looks at her and she looks at him, "5 dead drops and a few blast shards," she answers, he leans back and places his arm on his knee. She then digs into her pocket. "Here, I didn't listen to them yet, so I'd through both could," she tells him pulling out her phone. Then places the first context.

'Discovered a cache of documents relating to the work of Luigi Galvani. It's obvious that someone, probably Kessler, took Galvani's idea of how electricity interacts with muscles and try to expand it. But a bunch of stuff here about creating a new kind of ion, but I don't understand it. Going to copy all of this and send to the PO box.'

Cassie then ends the recording and looks at Cole, "So let me get this straight, Kessler, used Luigi's idea on electricity and infused it in us?" he asks Cassie shrugs her shoulders, "I don't know, dad was a detective, he would of figured something like this out, but I don't know anyone named Galvani or have heard of him before." she tells him, Cole nods, "Play the next one." he asks and she did so.

'Escorted Sasha into the Warren tonight so she can meet with some older man. Don't know his name, and Sasha made it clear that she wanted the meet kept a secret. As for the Warren, it's worse than I had imagined. Homeless people everywhere, people starving, buildings on the verge of falling down. Someone needs to take a bulldozer to that place.'

Then the recording and the two looks at each other, "Sasha was in cahoots with someone of the Warren?" Cassie asks Cole shrugs. "Maybe the leader of the Dust Men?" Cole suggests. "Let's hear the next one." Cole states and Cassie nods.

'Background information. According to the group's official history, research surged ahead and numerous breakthroughs were achieved under Tate's leadership. Side-note: No evidence remains of any specific breakthroughs. Repeated requests to witness anything created during this era were denied. End side note.'

The recording stops and the two look at each other, "I have no idea what that's supposed to mean." Cole states, "Neither do I." Cassie answers and started the next one.

'First glimpse of a device Kessler calls the "Ray Sphere". It's about the size of a basketball and appears to be constructed from two halves that are connected via an array of electric cables and silicon boards. An unknown object occupies its center. At first blush, it looks like a bomb of some type. Going to have to track it carefully.'

John's recording stops and Cassie looks at Cole, "The Ray Sphere, what it the color blue?" she asks him, he looks at her, "Yeah, from what I can remember. It radiated the color blue then everything went white." Cole informs her as he rubs the back of his head. Cassie nods at him, "Yeah, I remember seeing you hold it and it started to power up, then everything went white." she agrees as well. "But I've been thinking... what if you were only meant to survive the blast?" she asks and he looks at her, "No, don't think like that, don't even let the thought cross your mind ever again." he tells her and she looks at him.

"I'm glad you survived the blast, I'm glad I got to know you and right now, I'd never let anything happen to you, you're my friend and you better remember that," he tells her, making her look at him in surprise. Cole looks away and blushes from embarrassment.

Cassie couldn't help but smile at him a little, "Thank you, Cole, I feel a lot better hearing you saw that." she tells him, he scoffs. "Just play the next one." He mutters, Cassie giggles knowing that he was a big softie underneath his bad-boy reputation, then plays the next one.
