Max and CJ walk to Sandeman's lab. They talk about what's been going on since he was shot.

CJ: So, why is he in his lab?

Max: Manticore infected me with a retrovirus targeted to this specific person's DNA. Your father is working on a cure.

CJ: Is it contagious?

Max: No! It's harmless except for this one specific person.

CJ: Okay. I just don't want to catch it.

Max: CJ, your in Terminal City and your not a transgenic. Aren't you scared about that?

CJ: Oh, that's nothing.

Max: Well, here we are.

They walk into the lab and see Sandeman still at the microscope.

Sandeman: CJ? Is that you?

CJ: Yeah, it's me.

Max: So, have you come up with anything yet.

Sandeman: I've almost got it.

Max: That's great! How much longer?

Sandeman: Just about another hour and I'll have it.

Max: Well, I'll let you get back to work than.

Sandeman: Thanks. For getting CJ back for me.

Max: It was no problem.

She leaves the lab and heads back to Command. Along the way she runs into Lydecker.

Lydecker: So, how is the cure coming?

Max: Just a little bit longer. He said an hour, but I think that it will be a little longer.

Lydecker: Why do you think that?

Max: Because, he was just now reunited with his son. He is not just going to tell CJ to wait in the corner until he's done.

Lydecker: I guess your right.

Max: So, what have you been doing? Just wondering around bugging everybody.

Lydecker: Not really. I am just giving myself a tour of Terminal City. You have done a very good job, but considering your DNA you were made for this.

Max: What are you talking about?

Lydecker: You were originally designed to lead the fight against the Conclave.

Max: Really? Well than I need to get some answers from Sandeman to know exactly what I am 'designed' to do. I have no idea what the Conclave is up to, or what my part in stopping then really is.

Lydecker: Don't worry you'll find out, and I believe that you will be able to stop whatever it is they are planning.

Max: Yeah, well I've got to get back to Command. Have a nice tour.

Lydecker: C'ya around, Max.

Max: Yeah.

She continues on here way to Command. As soon as she walks in Syl walks up with a smile on her face.

Max: What are you so happy about?

Syl: I just got off the phone with Jondy.

Max: Jondy? Where is she?

Syl: She and Zane are on their way here. They should be here in a few hours.

Max: That's great! I can't wait. I haven't seen either of them since the original escape in '09.

Syl: Well, you just have to wait a few more hours.
