Brennan was taken down to the basement where he was shoved into a room that had been specifically prepared to contain his power. Condensation covered the walls and floors and a fine mist hung in the air; it would be impossible for him to use his power without electrocuting himself. He swore and cursed himself for a fool. He knew he should have involved the team but instead he'd gone it alone and gotten himself into trouble. Now he was going to have to call Adam for help. The thought rankled, as this was exactly the sort of thing that had caused the tension between them. Sighing in irritation, hating to admit that Adam had been right, Brennan went and sat with his back to the far wall. He felt hot and tired and more than a little sick which meant that whatever Kincaid had given him was beginning to work. Within minutes the nausea was much worse and he felt as if he had molten lead running through his veins. Afraid of what might be happening he called Adam.

"Has anyone heard from Brennan?" asked Emma as she joined the others by the dojo.
"He went out a while ago." replied Jesse.
"Something wrong Emma?" asked Adam, reading the worry in Emma's eyes.
"I'm not sure." replied Emma. "I felt something while I was meditating but it was too quick to hold onto."
Adam was about to reply when Brennan's voice came over the commlink.
"Adam." Just the one word but they could all tell he was in trouble.
"Brennan. Where are you? What's happening?" demanded Adam. All he got was silence. "Get the Double Helix in the air. I'll track him and send you his coordinates."
"Let's go!" said Jesse. He, Shalimar and Emma hurried to the hangar and quickly ran through the pre-launch checks before taking off. Once they were on their way Adam gave them Brennan's location.
"Be careful. We have no way of knowing what you'll be going into." warned Adam.
