Series 3 Episodes 52 to The Long Reach Finale.

Kayo closed the hologram of the Chaos Cruiser down as Alan yawned, Brains knelt down next to Max and began checking his systems and Scott sat down on the edge of the table with a sigh.

"I'm starving, does anyone know where Grandma is?" Alan asked.

"She's gone over to the mainland, she has a meeting with someone at our company," Scott smiled. "I guess you were asleep when she left."

Alan sighed, "I'll find my own snack then."

Scott watched him go then slid into the space next to Kayo on the sofa, "I heard about your head to head with the cruiser."

Kayo sighed, "you're about to say you didn't approve of me going after them aren't you?"

"Kayo, as strange as this sounds, I want you to keep an observation on them. We can handle the rescues, and you have said you've always wanted to get involved with crime prevention."

"So you're fine with me working with Rigby and the GDF?"

Scott took her hands in his, "yes. So long as you don't get too friendly with Rigby."

Kayo laughed and snuggled against his shoulder, "don't worry about that, I'm not leaving your side." Brains smiled at them from across the room before turning back to Max, "I don't trust him completely anyway."

Virgil walked in with Gordon, "that robot is now in pieces, happy Gordo?"

"Yes, they were such a bad idea."

"They weren't completely bad, Gordon. We use robots all over the island," Brains smiled.

"The fact that they had my voice is what scares me," Scott ran a hand through his hair.

"It didn't sound anything like you," Kayo rolled her eyes as Virgil sat down at the piano. "How's Thunderbird 2, Virgil?"

"Undamaged, but that robot wouldn't have been if it had made a scratch," Virgil replied as he began to play. "I'm glad they've been shut down if I'm honest."

"Finally you've come around to your senses!" Gordon cheered. "They were a menace, and they went after us."

Scott rolled his eyes as he wrapped an arm around Kayo's shoulders, "give it a rest Gordon. You liked them then hated them, then liked them again. I say you grew fond of them."

"Whatever."

"How was your rescue, Scott?" Virgil asked.

"Oh, when I went inside that platform? Yeah, that was interesting. I went in and one of those robots was in there, I couldn't get to the two guys trapped and had to distract the robot."

Kayo laughed, "how exactly?"

Gordon leant back against the sofa, "this will be good."

"I faked an injury so it would come over to me then told the guys to run before I followed them. The rest you know as you were standing outside Gordon."

"I thought it might have been a little more exciting," Virgil shrugged then dodged as a pillow flew past his head. "Nice try."

Kayo laughed to herself then let the room go quiet with just the piano in the background, she turned to Scott as the others in the room turned their attention away, "thanks for letting me work with the GDF, it was helpful."

"No worries, I was apprehensive but I think they benefitted having you there."

"Damn right, that Rigby is a headache and a half to work with. I hope when I next work with him, he's a little more open-minded."

Scott smiled. "Is he as bad as the rest of the force?"

"I'd say ten times worse, he had an excuse for everything. It's nice to be back with people I really trust."

Scott wrapped his arms around her as he kissed the top of her head, "it's good to have you back. It's been busy here."

"Did you need me?"

"We always do, but we handled it."

Kayo kissed his cheek. "I hope we can get back to normal rescues soon, we're a service to help those in need, we're not meant to be in the army."

"If the Chaos Crew are to be stopped then we may have no choice."

"Hmm maybe," Kayo stretched and stood up. "Game of pool?"

"Sure."

Virgil looked up as they walked over to the table behind the piano, "I wonder what they'll throw at us next? The last few days have been a nightmare. I feel like I've hardly slept."

"I know what you mean, I don't think we have slept," Scott glanced over at Gordon who had fallen asleep on the sofa. "It's too much for us."

Kayo lined up the rack of balls, "we can do anything."

"They're so much more advanced than us though. I mean look at those holo-emitters to make themselves invisible, that's something we'll never have."

Brains walked over to them, "I couldn't help overhearing, but the more you find out about the Chaos Crew, the more I can design ways you can get around them."

Virgil stopped playing and rested his hands on his knees, "how do you mean Brains?"

"I mean I can start designing countermeasures, even if they're just attached to the ships. That would give you some defence at least."

Kayo shot the white ball and leaned against the table, "but what about actual weapons?"

Scott frowned, "I don't like the idea of our ships having weapons, if someone took them that's the end of the world."

"I don't want to go ahead with weapons on the ships, they have missiles already," Brains smiled. "But leave it with me, I'll come up with something."

Virgil sighed, "for now I think I'd like a break from the duo."

"You and me both bro," Scott shot a red down one of the pockets. "If we're going to stand any chance of bringing them down, we need our strength."

Virgil nodded and resumed playing, "agreed. Bring on the next challenge."

"Speaking of taking on challenges," Kayo smiled as she overtook Scott's score. "I'm winning."
