These are the journals of Darian Lambert, Captain, Fugitive Retrieval

.D.

2193.

Here it comes. Three million bucks.

It's a good time.

I don't have the keys to the back. I know.

Move it!

Move it!

Come on!

What the hell is that thing?

The key to three million dollars.

We're supposed to set the dial at two.

Better stand back.

Come on, just do it.

How long is this supposed to take?

I'm not sure.

This thing cost us 50 grand.

Didn't it come with instructions?

It worked great on the island.

Just give it a little more time.

The hell with it.

It began in the future.

A time machine called Trax.

Criminals who vanish.

And a lawman who must pursue into the past.

Now he's among us.

A special breed of man.

He has one weapon and a computer named Selma.

Good morning, Captain Lambert.

With her, he will travel through our world.

Searching for fugitives from his own.

Knowing he cannot go home until he has found them all.

His name is Darian Lambert.

And this is his story.

Done Getting used to this antique superfluous

You think the cops have the AP -6?

Presumably.

I'm on my way.

Insurance.

Five of clubs on the king of hearts.

It would be better to play the five on the jack of spades, Captain.

Selma, I've been playing three -dig pyramids since I was a child. I've got

own strategy. Thank you. But, Captain, my calculations indicate that your odds

of winning increase by 4 .7 % if you play the five on the jack.

You're talking like a computer.

Thank you.

It's just that sometimes you've got to sense the cards, throw the odds out the

window.

Out which window?

What I'm trying to say is sometimes you have to be a little more flexible.

But flexibility is not in my program, Captain.

I forgot who I was speaking to for a minute.

That's strange.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. No, Captain, the news report.

Look at the explosion configuration of the armored car.

Increase the volume, Selma. The police have no idea what could have caused this

incredible devastation.

Fortunately, the driver of the armored car was not severely hurt in the blast

and is listed in fair condition.

Oh, just a moment. Let's see if we can talk to this officer.

Excuse me, officer. Can I ask you a few questions?

I really don't have any information, ma 'am.

Is that the weapon that was used?

We believe so.

Selma, that's an AP -6.

I've never seen anything like it.

Neither have I, ma 'am.

It looks so small to have caused this much damage. Any idea how it works?

Afraid that's out of my field.

We're going to pass this on to the experts.

Unless those experts are from the 22nd century, this will be new to them, too.

We'll be sure to keep an eye on this strange case as it develops. This is

Lee Rose, just outside of Charleston.

Now, back to you, Chris.

Someone book us a seat to Charleston. I'll need a cover story.

Captain, may I suggest an appropriate cover as a federal agent from the Bureau

of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms?

Perfect.

Darian Lambert, ATF.

Ed Wallace.

Guess you're here about the weapon we picked up.

That's right.

Sounds real interesting.

Oh, it's interesting, all right.

Now, you tell me, you boys from ATF ever seen anything like this?

Oh, it's safe to say this is a new one for ATF.

Of course, I'm going to need to take this with me to Washington.

Good, because I don't want it round.

I'd like to talk to the armored car driver.

He's at county getting patched up.

Didn't have much to say, though. Took a hard shot in the head before the

fireworks started.

Missed the whole show.

Then we need to focus on the robbers.

What can you tell me about this twerp you've got in custody?

Twerp?

It's a perp.

Name's Jake Rogers.

Him and the DOA, a dirtbag named Buck Preston, been doing bank jobs up and

the state.

Guess they decided it was time for the big score.

What I need to know is how Rogers got the weapon.

Well, it's a $64 ,000 question now, isn't it?

Problem is, Rogers is not talking.

I've had a little experience with this kind of guy.

Do you mind if I give him a try?

He's all yours.

Good.

I just want to know

where you got the cannon.

Nothing to say. This is Federal Agent Darian Lambert with ATF.

He's got some questions.

I'd like to speak to him alone for a few minutes.

Good luck.

I got nothing to say to you either.

with your credit card.

Trying to buy me off.

I thought I might just loosen you up a little.

What the hell are you doing?

Just gonna sting a bit.

Sting? Some generated delta wave tone.

What's going on? Who are you talking to?

Talk to me, Rogers.

What do you want?

Tell me about the army car.

Buck said to keep the dial on low, but nothing was happening.

How long is this supposed to take?

It worked great on the island.

Just give it a little more time.

So you turned it all the way up?

All the way.

And then what?

There was this bright light. The truck started to shake like hell.

Where'd you get the AP -6?

AP what?

The weapon.

Where'd you get the weapon?

Buck got it.

From who?

I don't know.

Come on, Rogers.

I asked Buck, but he wouldn't tell me.

All I know is he got some guy out on an island.

All right, what island? Where?

I don't know that either.

Somewhere off the coast.

Okay, I'm with you.

Summer, how do I stamp him out of this?

I would suggest a blue pellet, Captain. When he awakens, he will regain his

normal brain activity.

What the hell's the matter with him?

Well, the excitement must have caught up to him. He just passed out.

All right, let's check this out.

Visual mode, Selma.

I can't believe Zombie would transport someone with an AP -6.

Dr. Zombie has proven to be capable of almost anything, Captain.

You're right. Nothing he does should surprise me.

I don't think the 20th century is ready for this kind of destructive power.

Let's disarm it.

Can you access the AP -6 user's manual?

Scanning.

Ready.

Begin by gently unscrewing the frequency modulator from the base.

OK.

It's stuck.

That's odd.

Just a moment.

Aha!

The modulator screw releases in a clockwise direction.

Uh -huh.

Okay, what's next?

This is not the kind of problem this department needs, you understand?

Excuse me, Captain.

Yep. Thanks for merit with the FBI.

Okay, you get down there and get it fixed right now.

Well, seems like we've become popular as sliced bread.

The Bureau is extremely concerned about the weapon that was used.

yesterday's attempted armored car robbery?

I don't doubt it.

I've been ordered to bring it back to our lab in Washington.

Well, I'm sorry, son, but you're a day late and a dollar short.

Dollar short?

Yeah, some fella from ATF was here this morning. He took the weapon back with

him.

Chief's gonna have my butt for this.

Oh, I don't envy you, son.

Hey, maybe when you get back to Washington, you can look up this Lambert

and, uh... Lambert?

Darian Lambert?

Yeah, that's right.

Well, you know him?

I know him. Then you're in luck.

Maybe the two of you can get together and work out some kind of a deal.

Maybe.

Say you wouldn't know if Lambert is still in town, would you?

Well, as a matter of fact, he is.

I told him about this great little place called the South Street Inn.

I guess you might find him there.

Well, you can bet on it.

Thank you, Captain.

The next step, Captain, is to remove the stabilizing bracket which detaches from

the equalizer.

Beauty.

Some of this is made in Korea.

That's odd.

The country designation Korea ceased to exist in 2023.

And when it became part of the Republic of Southeast Asia, I know.

Can you determine the age of this piece?

One moment.

Analysis indicates this bracket is between two and four years old.

So this AP -6 was made with materials from the 20th century.

It can only be one person.

Soma, project information on Simon Kale.

Yes, Captain.

Born in 2152, Simon Kale graduated from the Washington Institute of Scientific

Studies at age 17 and went directly to work for Baker Tech Systems as a weapons

designer.

In his ten years at Baker, he was responsible for developing some of the

devastating weapons of the 22nd century.

Kale stated that his greatest achievement was the invention of the

Moleculizer.

The Boomer.

Killing with sound waves.

I'm going to run the archive footage of the last case of Detective Thomas Abel.

Do you really think that is necessary, Captain?

will remind me of just how much I want to get Kale.

In the year 2190, it was determined that Simon Kale was producing illegal

weaponry. Detective Thomas Abel led a small group of officers on a raid of

Tech Systems.

Simon Kale was surprised by the officers, but managed to grab a sonic

demoleculizer.

There was barely enough love to tell me for a decent burial.

That's enough, someone.

Thomas Abel was my roommate at the academy.

I swore over his grave, now I get kale. And now he's back here.

Building 22nd century weapons for 20th century criminals.

What the hell is that?

Thankfully, the force of that blast was deflected, Captain.

Life, Selma.

Chaos brought the boomer to the 20th century.

Captain, the AB -6 is gone.

He found us, Selma.

Now we've got to find him.

There's dozens of tiny islands out there.

Kale could be on any one of them.

How will we narrow it down, Captain?

If Kale is actually building these weapons, then he's got to be using huge

amounts of electricity.

Someone, what we need is access to a very current satellite map of this area.

Scanning.

There is a Defense Department satellite in this area due to pass overhead in

approximately 47 seconds. I can interface with it directly if you'd

You never cease to amaze me.

There is one more thing, Captain.

The identity of the man who attacked you last night.

It wasn't Cale? No, Captain.

I scanned the room while you slept, and I found several partial fingerprints

belonging to a fugitive named Dexter Merritt. Well, I assume this Merritt has

some connection with Cale in the 22nd century.

Yes, Captain.

Dexter Merritt worked for Baker Tech Systems as a field representative.

And arms dealer.

He was arrested on suspicion of killing someone with a sonic demoleculizer, but

he was never convicted.

Well, if we can find the island, then we're bound to find Hale and Merritt.

The satellite is coming into position now, Captain.

Tap into the infrared scanner. Summer, we're looking for an island that is hot.

Standing by.

Interfacing.

Projecting.

That's it.

Go to west corner of Bull Island.

Let's go pay Cale a visit.

Just like Lambert.

Dust.

You sure this is the right place?

I am not certain, Captain.

However, I am getting a reading on a large concentration of electrical power

emanating from a point south of here.

South it is.

there are people here after all by the sound of it dangerous people

it's a boomer

we have come to the right place

Company? Lambert?

Can't be. I left him dead.

Ghost?

He'll be a ghost soon enough.

Selma, the explosions have stopped.

Yes, Captain.

Perhaps they... Captain!

They

know

we're here.

That would appear to be the case.

This is going to be no match for a boomer.

I would suggest that the elements of stealth and surprise would be key assets

this impending battle.

You're right, Selma.

Let's go deeper into the woods.

Salma, what is this?

By the look of it, I would assume that it is used for some type of target

practice. While it has fallen into disrepair, it is quite sophisticated in

of its animatronic circuitry.

Can you make this thing move?

I am not certain, Captain, but I will try to interface with its computer if

you'd like.

Good.

Let's work on that element of surprise.

First, we have to get him properly dressed.

Can you get him to raise up his arms, Selma?

I will try, Captain.

Perfect.

Much better.

Now, Selma, it's up to you to send him on his way.

Very well, Captain.

Let's hope Merit takes the bait.

It's like the boomers back home.

I hate losing Schwarzkopf's sweatshirt.

I would imagine that he, of all people, would approve of its use.

I'm sure you're right.

Captain, I have just picked up a strong power surge in the immediate area.

Could you be more specific?

Analyzing. It would seem as if numerous electrical appliances were suddenly

turned on.

I suppose you're talking about washers and dryers.

I fear that Mr. Cale just activated a highly sophisticated remote defense

system.

Can you pinpoint the power source?

Approximately 2 .7 kilometers southwest of here, Captain.

Precise.

Welcome, Lambert.

I sent Merritt back.

You're next.

Insolence.

I'll find you, Kale, and I'm going to make you pay for what you did to Tom

Unlikely.

Tell me, you know that power surge you sensed? I think he's got the whole

booby -trapped.

Correct.

Soma, we need to incapacitate his monitoring system so that we can move

him tracking us.

Can you generate a tone that will scramble his video feed?

I believe 60 ,000 megahertz will do the trick, Captain.

Video transmission has been terminated.

Good.

Visual mode.

Can you knock out Kale's weapon systems the same way? I will try, Captain.

Negative, Captain.

The video system was of 20th century design and thus susceptible to outside

electronic interference.

However, the weapon systems throughout the island are of 22nd century

and are impervious to my attempt to disarm them.

What about detection?

I can pinpoint areas of increased power concentration when you put me on scan

mode.

So all we have to do then is walk two and a half miles through a futuristic

minefield. I would suggest you proceed with extreme caution, Captain.

I would agree, Selma.

Scan mode.

Captain, stop.

There is a motion detector at the base of the tree on your right.

That could trigger anything.

Perhaps you should consider an alternate route.

Or maybe I'll just disarm it.

Thank you, Selma.

Always a pleasure to be of assistance, Captain.

Captain, I'm getting an aberrant response on my scan frequency.

In English, Selma.

Something is not right here.

What a holographic projection captain it seems to be emanating from that mound

immediately to your left

The tricks of this land.

An old trap with a 22nd century twist.

Visual mode, Selma.

Yes, Captain.

What the hell is this?

A tree snare, Captain.

has built the highest tech weaponry known to the 22nd century into this

and I get caught in a tree snare.

It would appear so.

Possibly a device left over from the Catawba Indians who used to inhabit this

island. Well, thank you for the history lesson.

How do I get down from here?

A most interesting problem.

Selma, I need a solution. The blood's rushing to my head.

Analyzing the situation.

Aha.

I have a possible solution.

What? I'll try anything. Your weight is pulling the rope taut, making it highly

susceptible to fraying, provided you can nick its edge.

What am I supposed to nick it with?

Well, I would suggest a pellet from your MPPT.

Oh, pellet. Yes, Captain.

Each pellet has a diameter of 3 .05 millimetres, while the rope around your

ankle is approximately 8 millimetres, a relatively easy target for a marksman of

your skill level.

Shut up.

OK.

What if I could just see straight?

You must minimize your swaying, Captain. It is affecting your aim.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

Well done, Captain.

Voice mode Selma.

I need a closer look at the house, so I'm in visual project mode.

Push in tighter.

Isolate the roof.

Any readings?

There is so much energy emanating from the house, it is difficult to tell if it

is clear.

In project mode.

We've come this far.

But I'd much rather deal with you personally.

I'll be right out.

Clever. Red.

TXP.

Afraid. You planning on sending me back?

No.

Overdose. The great scientist and inventor Simon Cale kills an unarmed cop

cold blood.

Last words?

Selma.

Visual mode.

I

was

hoping you'd override your general orders not to appear in front of a third

person. You have taught me that sometimes we need to be flexible,

Liquid trinitrotoluene. It's fitting that Kale should supply us with the

way to dispose of his weapons.

Yes, Captain.

we have to shut down the island. We have to get far enough away to detonate.

Terminating secretary, Captain.

Time to get rid of Kale's toys for good.

Kale is finally out of business.

Not entirely, Captain.

What are you talking about?

While I was shutting down Kale's remote weaponry, I took the liberty of copying

all of his files, which I have just finished analyzing.

Visual mode, Selma.

And? I have come across his sales records.

It appears Simon Kale has sold 14 weapons from the 22nd century to various

people around the country.

I can't believe this.

Is there a list of names and addresses?

No, Captain, just initials and dates.

So he's put his destructive devices into the hands of a dozen or so 20th century

criminals.

Who knows what kind of havoc they'll create.

We will have to watch for signs of their usage.

Looks like he's mocking me from the grave.

Things are not so bad, Captain.

At least you are above the grave looking down.

Good point, Selma.

Voice mode.

Let's go home.
