Series 2 Episodes 26 to 51
Scott found Virgil up in his studio brooding over the piano keys, the younger man was hunched over and the melody was sad. Scott approached his brother and laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Virgil?"
Virgil stopped playing and sighed, "yes Scott?"
"You disappeared after the briefing, are you alright?"
"Of course I'm not Scott. My ship was almost torn apart today, I couldn't save her. Oh, and you told me to dump her into the ocean."
Scott bit his lip, "I was thinking about you. A ship can be replaced, a life can't."
"And like I said, Scott, she's my ship," he sat back from the piano. "Who is this guy Scott, and why did he attack us?"
"I wish I knew Virgil, but we'll stop him. Trust me."
Virgil smiled, "the last time you said to trust you, you crashed one of my pod vehicles into the ice out on our voyage to the Aurora Generator."
"I'm serious Virgil, everyone has a weakness and we'll find the Mechanic's."
Virgil stood up from the piano, "we need to stop him before he hurts anyone else."
"He almost killed me today too, Virgil."
Virgil turned quickly, "what? Why didn't you say anything?"
"Kayo saved me, there was nothing to say. We stopped his machine, but I would've risked my life for that crew to get away anyway."
"I know you would have, but against him Scott? You were foolish to risk your life like that."
"It's what we do," Scott took Virgil's place at the piano and stroked his fingers along the keys hesitantly. "I wish that dad were here to guide us against him. Then again, the Mechanic could've had something to do with his disappearance too."
"We can deal with that when the time comes. Dad will come back."
Scott began to play, keeping his eyes on his hands not wanting to look up and let Virgil see his tears, "I'm giving up hope on him being alive."
"Don't say that. Now, first things first. We fix my ship and go after the Mechanic, and we do this as a family not as individuals. That goes for Kayo as well."
"FAB," Scott released the pedal. "Want to grab a drink?"
"Sure," Virgil left the studio, his arm draped around his brother's shoulders just happy to be home.
