Chuck was marveling at the banks of state of the art computers. Sarah had to tug him gently to tear himself from geeking out too much.
"Sarah there is …" Chuck says excitedly.
"Yes Chuck there are servers…Come on there is someone who you needs to present immediately." Sarah says.
"Ok Sarah but you have to let me geek out just a little bit…Right? I mean this is a secret base and all." Chuck says in wonderment.
Sarah rolls her eyes then smiles at him.
"Just come on Chuck we can not be late." Sarah urges.
Casey dressed in his green Polo met Chuck and Sarah.
"It is about time you got the Moron here Walker." Casey grumbles. The General is about to come online.
Casey motions to a hidden technician and the large view screen which Chuck likens to the View screen on the Enterprise came to life.
"Auntie Diane?" Chuck says then he looks at the spilt screen at Langston Graham and suddenly he faints from the overload.
Sarah was standing next to him as his eyes glazed over.
"What is wrong with my Nephew?" The General barked.
As Chuck started falling forward Sarah quickly caught him.
"Oh No not again…!" Sarah exclaims.
She guides him down to the floor out of sight of the view screen.
"Major what is going on…Is he ok?" The General asks worriedly since she never knew if Orion was hovering nearby.
Langston was not as alarmed. He suspected there would be something that Orion would do to snatch his prize from him. He waits patiently for some sort of explanation.
"Agent Walker, Report!" He says calmly.
Sarah had pulled off her coat then placed it gently under Chuck's neck. Once she saw Chuck was unhurt she stood up.
"Sir, do not be alarmed I have seen this before…Chuck faints when placed in a new environment. It is pretty temporary. Be advised afterward, he will report things you will not understand." Sarah says looking down at Chuck noticing his slight eye movements under his lids.
"Let me get this straight Our Intersect host has epilepsy?" Langston gruffly says.
"No Not that I have observed Sir" Sarah replied. When he first met me he fainted. Morgan his best friend reported that he did that when he met someone pretty as in a girl. He warned me that it started once he returned in disgrace from S…" Sarah was cutoff by the General.
"Stanford…" The General supplies.
"Diane you knew of this condition?" Langston asks.
"Langston what is done is done…Whether I knew my Nephew was narcoleptic or not is immaterial." Diane says.
"What is immaterial" Chuck asks standing after quickly springing up.
Chuck turns toward the screen then speaks.
"Hello Langston Graham Director of the CIA and friend of Orion my Father. What can I do for you?" Chuck asks with his eyes narrowed at the view screen.
Sarah gasps she was right he was Orion's son.
"Wait a minute that is very classified intelligence you are saying." Langston said. "General, get your men to clear out Castle!"
"Major you have heard the director get everyone non essential out of here!" The general says.
"Yes General I will accomplish it soon." Casey says and orders his men to clear the area.
Chuck looks around and spies something on the Monitor that was trained on the Buy More front door.
"Er Sarah…Do not look but Ellie just came through the doors of the Buy More." Chuck whispers.
"What why is she here?" Sarah exclaims. "I thought she was asleep what brought her here?"
"I do not know but if I do not go up there and head her off she will tear apart the Buy More to find me." Chuck whispers back.
"Yes Charles go deal with Eleanor" the General orders "The Director and I have much to discuss."
Casey grunts as the screen goes blank and shows the logo of both the CIA and NSA on the screen.

Once the connection is broken with Castle Orion appears in Diane's office.
"Diane you can not be seriously contemplating placing your Nephew and My Son in the field?" He asks.
Langston is livid as he was still on the screen with the General.
"What is going on Diane…We have placed all our secrets in a narcoleptic?" Langston bellows.
"Hush" the general says as she is looking away from the camera.
"I will not be Hushed." Orion warns.
Langston stops talking and observes the General it was as if she was conducting a conversation with no one there.
"Is everyone in this family crazy?" He thinks.
Diane concludes her discussion then turns back to the camera.
"Ok Langston where were we?" The General asks still unnerved by Orion's appearance and demands.
"Ok Diane I have calmed down so. What are we going to do?" Langston asks.
"Well I was consulting with someone you know well. He suggests strongly that we allow Eleanor my Niece to examine my Nephew. Maybe there might be an organic reason for the fainting. She is a trained Neurobiologist." The General suggests.
"Oh why not let's involve your whole family…Why don't I recall Frost to join us?" Langston sarcastically says.
"That is not necessary, Langston. Mary has enough on her plate at the moment." Orion says as he now appears to the Director.
"Wait Orion, how are you here?" Langston sputters as Diane realized her Brother has reappeared.
"PFM Langston, I strongly suggest you listen to my Sister. You would not want me angry would you?" Orion says as he manipulates Langston's favorite titanium pen given to him by the President.
Orion now concentrates hard and the pen begins to bend in the middle.
Langston's eyes bulge out as he watches a pen specifically designed not to bend starting to take the shape of a banana.
"Wait Orion you win…Please can you repair it?" Langston wails.
Orion with massive concentration and the beginning of a massive headache complies then disappears leaving the pen intact and placed in Langston's hand.
Langston was dumfounded he looks over the pen and there was nothing indicating the pen was any shape other than what it was.
\\\\\
Orion exhausted by the demonstration of the power of the cloak. Barely was able to remove the cloak then crawl into his bed to recover.
"That almost wiped me out… I must be more careful in the future." Orion last thought before he fell asleep exhausted.
\\\\\
Langston began to wonder if Orion was channeling Darth Vader? What would happen if he went to the dark side?
"I find your lack of faith in the force disturbing." Came to Langston's mind.
He shook his head to clear it. He looks up and sees the General slack jawed too.
"Diane you saw what happened a few minutes ago?" Langston asks.
"Well I am not certain what I saw but it is obvious you can not play around with Orion so I heard you say you would entertain having my Niece examine my Nephew?" the General asks.
"Yeah Diane, that is good idea we should arrange a session with Dr. Dreyfus too. Maybe this is not just organic but psychological too. Diane, we should schedule Dr. Zarnow to examine him to see if they can remove it from him. We can not have a wonky human Intersect Host." Langston says.
Diane agrees then reconnects to Burbank.
"General I did not expect you to return so quickly" Casey says.
"Major where is my Nephew?" Diane asks.
"Well he left with Walker and they are arguing with his Sister in the back of the Buy More." Casey reports from what he can monitor.
"Major, bring them here." The General orders.
"What Ma'am I do not think I heard you right…Did you just order me to bring them into a secure Gov't facility two regular civilians?" Casey's asks.
"Major that is correct. Now follow my orders!" The General orders sternly.
"Yes General I will retrieve the personnel you wish to speak." Casey says as he leaves the camera range.
\\\\\
Meanwhile Chuck and Sarah are heading off Ellie at the Nerd Herd desk.
"Ellie why are you up?" Chuck asks.
"Chuck, I had this crazy dream Dad appeared and told me to find you. So here I am." Ellie says a bit confused.
"I see so a dream told you what that I was in trouble? What sort of trouble could I get in the Buy More?" Chuck asks.
Ellie thinks upon this she was about to give up and head home then she notices Sarah.
"Oh so you are the one that Chuck took out? Call me Ellie this one never tells me anything anymore. Did you have a good time at the ballet?" Ellie asks.
"Thanks Ellie I'm Sarah. Oh yes we did…Didn't we Chuck?" Sarah blushes.
Ellie moves her attention to Chuck who was beat red.
"Ah…yes we had a great time and Sarah here was telling me about her new job. Why don't you tell her about it, Sarah?" Chuck says.
"Nice of you of throwing me under the bus" Sarah whispers.
"Yes I am working across the parking lot at the Weinerlicious." Sarah says knowing she was dressed in that company's uniform "…and Chuck has been so kind."
At this point Casey appears behind them.
"Walker, bring the Moron and Sister with you. We are needed in the conference room." Casey says.
"Oh Ellie have you met our newest Associate. John Casey, meet Ellie my Sister. John here is being trained by Morgan." Chuck explains.
"Can it Moron get you and your Sister going. The General your Aunt will not wait forever!" Casey says appearing very intimidating.
Ellie overhears Casey talking to Chuck then she hears…Her Aunt the General.
"Chuck what is going on?" Ellie asks suddenly concerned.
"Ellie I…Well why don't you follow me to the Media room. I will explain but not here." Chuck says.
Casey grunts as Ellie intrigued on what was going on follows her little Brother.
Casey enters first and both Jeff and Lester comes flying out of the room then skid to stop on the floor. They both jump up then scamper away as fast as possible.
"Moron the room is clear." Casey says as he closes the blinds. Sarah was trailing behind.
Ellie now very suspicious stops and turns to Chuck.
"Ok Chuck what is going on? These people are not normal Buy More or Weinerlicious employees are they?" Ellie demands.
Chuck winces then decides to come clean.
"No Ellie they are not. They are here to protect me. That big guy is Major John Casey Marine Corps attached to the NSA and Sarah here is my bodyguard, Agent Sarah Walker of the CIA." Chuck says.
Ellie is now mollified for the moment.
"Ok Moron we could have done introductions in a more secure place." Casey growls as Sarah keys her phone to allow the access hatch to open.
Ellie looks at the assembled group then shrugged and follows Chuck down the ladder. Sarah was last and closed the hatch then the blinds automatically open.
\\\\\
Ellie was not as wide eyed as Chuck. She had been in secret bases before. She was brought down to the one underneath their childhood home for special training by Frost her Mother.
Once they were led into the conference room she saw the view screen.
"Hello Aunt Diane… So why did you bring me here? Why is Chuck here and all these people too?" Ellie asks.
"Ok Ellie, do you remember the day of my birthday?" Chuck asks.
Ellie nods.
"Ok I got an email from Bryce…" Chuck says.
At the mentioning of the rogue Agent's name Sarah, Diane, Langston, Casey and Ellie cringed. Chuck noticed their reactions.
"Oh I'm ok don't worry about me he is perfectly safe." Chuck says.
"Perfectly safe…? Chuck he is dead!" Sarah wails at the way Chuck mentions her old partner.
"I agree I shot him myself" Casey says.
"Langston, are you going to let them believe that?" Chuck says turning to the director. "I know my Brother is alive."
"Bryce is your Brother?" Sarah asks.
"You knew all this time?" Diane chimes in.
"Well Auntie I did not know exactly but it made sense. Since, I have been gifted with this situation. Many more things make a lot more sense. I used to blame him for what he did…He did much to sacrifice for me, though." Chuck says.
"Chuck what is going on?" Sarah asks. "Director…?"
Langston had not wanted to have this conversation but obviously his off the book mission for Bryce was recorded in the Intersect. Chuck knows the truth.
"Yes Diane…Bryce is alive I was informed by a reliable witness he has been embedded into Fulcrum. This has been our only source inside this rogue organization. How Chuck did learn of it. I do not know but it is true." Langston confesses.
Sarah is dumbfounded on hearing the truth from the Director's lips.
"Ok I know why you are all here but why am I?" Ellie says cutting through the confusion.
"Oh Yes, about that…Ellie I was experimented on…" Chuck begins to explain.
Ellie now remembers the incident when Chuck was seven.
"Oh My G-d it is the Intersect!" Ellie blurts out.
"Doesn't anyone have security around here?" Casey grumbles.
"Eleanor, what do you know about the Intersect?" Diane asks.
"Auntie you know as well as I do I was trained by Frost…You think having that training would keep me from finding out? So Chuck has downloaded it again?" Ellie says.
"Again…? Diane what is she meaning again…There is nothing showing he has ever been exposed to the Omaha Project." Langston says.
On the mentioning of those words Chuck faints again.
