SD-6. Spy meeting, but it's just Sloane and Sydney. Hey, where the heck is Dixon? Is he on leave? What happened? Sloane's telling Sydney that they decoded the FTL messages with Parkishoff's DNA, and that the Rambaldi artifact is somewhere in Tunisia. Sydney assumes that's where her next mission is, but Sloane says nay, that they sent an advance team there and the site had already been evacuated. Sloane tells her that FTL obviously doesn't know what they're sitting on, since they sent the artifact to Oxford to be analyzed and it's a huge risk to involve civilians in such an operation. He slides something across the table to Sydney and tells her that there's a reception at the university and that she's going in as a scout for the Marissa Foundation, looking for grant candidates, and to be on her guard, since FTL will be heavily alerted to any espionage attempts.
Newsroom Of No News Is Will's Fault. Will is talking to La Editress. La Editress tells him that she reviewed his notes; there was much more substance than she believed, and they can run the story. Will hems and haws and says that now he actually doesn't want to run the story, since Sydney asked him to drop the investigation. La Editress is justifiably peeved, and points out that it's now a legitimate piece, and if he doesn't do it, she'll pass his notes along to someone else. She also accuses him of being on dope, which made me giggle. Random drug accusations always make me giggle, except when they're leveled at me in an airport setting. She tells him not to chicken out on her now and shoves his file at him. God. Will is an idiot.
