Outline

One year before Aelita’s disappearance, she meets with an ex-lover, Dr. Grace Hogart, who shows Aelita some of her company’s experiments in a stub. Back in 2032, Bob is introduced as a cold-blooded killer, a retired Irish assassin living in Florida. He is hired by Daniel’s bot from the future to take out Flynne and her brother. His first order of business is to punish his old friend that ratted him out. He positions himself on the bridge Flynne must travel, back from her medical appointment. In a showdown with Billy Ann, Flynne, and Burton, Bob is outgunned and gives himself up to local policeman Tommy. However, he doesn’t remain in custody long; a cloaked vehicle crashes into the sheriff’s car and absconds with Bob. Flynne goes to the future to complain to Wilf; she visits RI headquarters and dispatches a Peripheral of Cherise Nuland.
