Helicopters buzz about busily as guards patrol the hangar. Cobb stares at the wormhole on his screen, and John and Wilson walk through the hangar. John's really enjoying a chocolate bar: "They have worlds out there. People out there that you wouldn't believe. But they do not have chocolate." ["Neither do I, at this moment, and suddenly it's making me sad." -- Wing Chun] John stops short. "Hang on a second." John approaches a tech who's futzing around with one of the extra pieces John added to the Farscape. "Hey, no," says John. "Don't do it like that. It's a propulsion fin; it's part of the Hetch drive, okay?" He's a scientist first. Remember when John was just a scientist, and never had to fight or kill? Remember how much happier he was. Walking away, John stops again with a déjà vu: "Have we met?" The tech stutters: "Last year in the Simpson Desert, uh, when you were down there for the shuttle tests." He looks and talks exactly like the boy version of Naomi Watts in Tank Girl. "You were with Cobb, right?" Jet Boy assents. "Right. Well, it's, um...it's good to see you again."
