Syd makes her way to some sort of storage facility, gets out of the water, and quickly drops two guards with the tranq gun. She rips off one of their security cards and runs off. Seconds later, sporting a Devo-inspired yellow plastic jumpsuit, Syd enters the main storage facility and grabs a cart with a drum of danger on it, pretending like she's just one of the many yellow-suited peons. She passes by a research area and sees my ex-boyfriend Sark hanging out inside, talking to some other dudes. That probably isn't good, right?
Syd voices to Kendall at Ops that she's just run into her possible half-brother. Kendall's all, I don't need to remind you to stay out of sight. Syd's all, uh, DUH, dude. I don't need to remind YOU that you sit around a fucking office all day in your Brooks Brothers suits and order people around while I speed all over the planet putting MY ASS ON THE LINE FOR THIS COUNTRY? Kendall's all, yeah yeah yeah. Just get the serum and get out of there, Wonder Woman.
Syd makes it to the main serum generation room as we hear Spy Daddy tell her that in order to use the serum generator, she'll need the security pass code. We flash back to the plane, where Spy Daddy hands Syd a small computer that's about the size of a cell phone and informs her that the jack in this wittle bitty 'puter has a satellite link that will let the CIA get into the system and give them the pass code.
Back in the generator room, Syd starts tapping away on the product-placed Nokia PDA, gets the pass code from Chapman, and starts to enter it, only to be halted by Chapman. Basically, if she enters the pass code that they get from the main system, she'll set off alarms all over the place. Kendall's all, abort the op, baby. Syd's like, yeah, that'll happen. Kendall's all, dude? ABORT. Syd ignores him and starts the serum generation process. She puts a drop of Vaughn's blood on a strip at the front of the generator, flips a switch, and the machine begins to hum.
At the same time, over in Sark's room, one of his lackeys informs him that someone's accessed the decontamination room. That's all Sark needs to sound the alarm. Inside the decontamination room, Syd hears the alarms, grabs the now completed antidote, and gets the hell outta there. Several guards start shooting at her as she exits. She ducks and rolls out of the way and then grabs a fire extinguisher off the wall and does a little extinguishing of her own with the unfortunate guards. With one of their guns in hand, she makes her way to the exit.
Once she's through the outer door, she tries to open the inner door, but has no luck. She tries to go back out the way she came in, but that door is now closed as well. She's trapped. She looks up and sees Sark, blithely looking down at her from on high. He's all, hey there, Sydney sweetie. See those pipes above your head? Yeah, those. Well, they put out some pretty serious chemical shit that's excellent for decontaminating metals and concrete but not so good on organic materials. You know, like your suit? OR YOUR SKIN?
