Kathleen was talking about her mission to the SF pink ranger, Jessica, when Jess started asking her questions that, at first, made little since like, "Which of the guys would you trust to guide you if you were blind?"

In the end the person that got the most votes was Sky, which came as a complete shock to Kathleen, but not to Jess who had realized that Kathleen trusted Sky a lot more than even Kathleen had.

Kathleen spent a few more moments thinking then chose Sky to go along with her.

Their ploy was she had been working for SPD as a weapons tester and Dr. Kat Manx's "lab partner", she had been working on one of her own projects when it literally blew up in her face and cost her eyesight, the events surrounding the explosion were unknown seeing that Kat was not present in the lab at the time and Kathleen and Boom were knocked unconscious.

Schuyler Tate would pose as her husband who had been a cadet in the academy, but his rank and squad were unrevealed for obvious reasons, and it was said that he left SPD for the same reasons, and it was said he would volunteer at the school, and stay with his "wife" for moral support.

Kathleen worked with her mother for a spell to prepare for her role as a SPD weapons scientist, and Sky didn't have to do any prep for his role seeing he already played that role daily.

Within a few days it was figured out that Sky and Kathleen would have to become used to each other's habits because they would have to pose as a married couple, and would have to seem used to sleeping in the same bed.

They moved into a specified room that was set aside for married couples and their first night together would be the worst for Kathleen.

Kathleen walked around a house she had hoped to never set foot in again. She found her stepfather beating on his speed-bag and she knew what was to come, but after a few moments he began to give her his signs for sexual abuse, and she realized she was reliving the last night she had spent in his house; the night before she spilt it all to Aisha Campbell.

They got to her bedroom and he pushed her inside and followed her in; locking the door behind himself.

Sky shook Kathleen gently while calling her name, and she woke with a start, dripping with sweat and gasping for breath. She was glad he had waked her because she was about to relive one of her worst memories of her life. Sky didn't ask her about the dream immediately; he tried to calm her down a little first, and then asked about it.

She explained it to him to the extent that her emotional state would allow. He thought of telling Commander Cruger that Kathleen could not go through with the mission, she was too emotionally unstable, but she read his thought and told him he just needed to give her a little time; she'd be able to do it.

The next few nights got easier for her, and by the time the planned leaving time arrived they could have fooled anyone into thinking that they had been married for months. Even though Kathleen was Kat's daughter it was difficult to tell because of her genetic mutations that were made to hid her within human society.

They had begun to be able to read each other's movements, actions and even expressions and could almost communicate without talking.

The day soon came for them to leave, Kathleen's nerves were shot and Sky tried his best to calm her nervousness but found it difficult because she knew what was coming for her, and it terrified her and he couldn't blame her, no one could. Vision loss was a scary prospect for anyone because of the loss of independence. They packed in silence and soon it was time for Kathleen to lose her eyesight. Her hands were shaking violently as she waited for the chemical to be administered.

Kat had been developing the serum for several months after they had first decided to investigate the location, but she was worried about how it would affect her eyes seeing the serum was developed for human eyes and hers, obviously, weren't human. Kat was concerned about there being side effects from the drops being used in her daughter's eyes, and wished her daughter hadn't been chosen for the mission.

After the drop had been administered the cadets and Kat had to wait about five minutes to see if it was even going to work, and it did, perfectly. Kathleen felt a hand on her shoulder

"Can you see?" Sky asked her

"No, I can't" she replied

"Okay, so that proves that it works" Kat said, wishing she had known ahead of time that she'd be using the drops on Kathleen so she could have actually tested it on someone similar to Kathleen (i.e. herself) to make sure that it would actually work right, but hadn't known so she didn't get the chance to test the formula as she would have liked to have.

Kathleen was informed that there might be slight stinging for a while, but she was given a drop to remedy it.

Sky was unsure if he was actually the right person for the job and he voiced that concern several times, but Kathleen consoled him and told him that she thought he would do fine. He tried to believe her, but found it difficult, until he started to guide her and realized he had the right stuff to actually do some good for her.

They got into the vehicle and were informed that from then on they would be known under their assumed identities as a married couple, she was a scientist at SPD, and he was a former cadet who had left his position after a lab accident blinded his wife. He had volunteered at the school in order to stay closer to her and watch over her… the truth was he was going to the school to investigate in was that she could not without eyesight.
