Place Of Twisted Metal And Other Junkyard Wars. Quantum wanders around and looks out a window that shows the same sort of mass destruction of a cityscape. Daniels appears from behind him and says, "Ten minutes ago, that vista was more beautiful than anything you could imagine." Quantum asks where he is. "I-I had breakfast in that room [gestures] less than half an hour ago," Daniels stutters. I think he drank coffee made from crazy beans as well. Daniels tells Quantum that he was instructed to bring Quantum there. "They told me that the timeline wouldn't be safe if you boarded that Suliban ship. Someone was very mistaken," Daniels understates. Quantum asks him where "here" is. "You're in the thirty-first century, Captain," Daniels tells him, "or what's left of it." No, he didn't ask "when," he asked "where." Quantum accuses Daniels, "You said the Suliban wouldn't follow us -- that we'd make it safely to the Vulcan ship." Daniels tells him that as far as he was told, that was correct. "So you're telling me this just happened. It doesn't look like it just happened!" Quantum grinds out, looking at the ruined city. Daniels agrees that it looks like it happened a long time ago. "If bringing me here caused this, then send me back. I'll take my chances with Silik," Quantum says. Daniels explains to him, "Y-you don't understand. All our equipment, the time portals have been destroyed. Everything's been destroyed. There's no way to send you back." Quantum steps forward and looks out the blasted window. The camera pulls back to show him as one tiny object in a huge ruined cityscape. Even though we didn't really need them, words appear to tell us, "To be continued."
See y'all next season, for more cheese stuffed down your throat than you can shake a stick at.
