Ahh!

I wish we could stay on this world forever. This place is so beautiful.

After two weeks the peace and quiet would drive you crazy.

Well, no worries. We leave tomorrow.

Hey, smell these.

Oh, sure beats the toxic smog on the last world.

You okay?

Oh.

It's a good thing we left that world when we did.

That air just about did me in.

You look tired, Remmy.

What?

- You look tired. - No. No. I'm fine.

As for this new world,

data and coordinates are logged.

What should we call this place?

Pleasant world?

How about empty world?

As in, no one's home.

I'll vote for paradise world.

But if a snake comes up and offers you an apple,

just say no.

Now there's a thought.

All this didn't just happen.

Somebody made it.

Yeah. But who?

Maggie?

Mallory?

Diana?

What the devil is this place?

Man, what now?

Wade?

Who's Wade?

Someone we lost along time ago.

What if you found a portal to a parallel universe?

What if you could slide into a thousand different worlds

where it's the same year and you're the same person,

but everything else is different?

And what if you can't find your way home?

Sliders.

What's wrong with him?

I don't know. I'm not that kind of a doctor.

Rembrandt! Come on, guy.

That's not gonna help.

It looks like he's in some kind of trance.

Just give him a few minutes.

Maybe he'll snap out of it on his own.

That's not exactly what I meant.

This might help.

Guess that last world really got to him.

Had to be the air.

Well, then why aren't we all affected?

Well, maybe we are. Maybe we just don't know it yet.

Oh, I feel fine.

Well, what worries me is that he was calling out to Wade.

He's been carrying around this huge guilt trip

for her for over a year now.

Well, I hope that this isn't some sort of emotional breakdown...

Look, uh, I'm no expert,

but he's been sliding a lot longer than the rest of us.

Maybe it's some kind of side effect.

You're saying that you can get sick from sliding too much?

Well, if you consider that Rembrandt,

and now all of us, are subject to constant shifting realities,

there's got to be a heavy physical and mental price for that.

It's just a theory.

- Remmy? - Huh.

You okay?

I'm back.

Man, am I glad to see you guys!

How can you be back? You never left.

What?

Hey, I was gone.

I don't know how or where,

but I wasn't here.

And there was someone else with me.

At one point it sounded like you were

talking to Wade.

Maggie told us about her.

The friend you lost to the Kromaggs.

I saw her. She was there I think...

And I saw a lot of other things, too.

I couldn't straighten out the images but...

Man, it was crazy.

You think I'm nuts?

- No. - Ha! No, no, no.

Yeah, well, I'm telling you, I was some place else.

All right.

Well, why don't you lie back down and get some sleep.

We all should do that. We slide at daybreak.

Yeah. Maybe it was the bad air, huh?

You're probably right.

Yeah.

What the hell is going on?

Hey, wake up!

Guys! Wake up!

What's wrong?

We just missed the slide!

What are you talking about?

We have 45 minutes.

You sure?

Yeah.

I just saw the vortex open.

Look, maybe you triggered the timer somehow.

Maybe you rolled over on it or something.

We're fine, Remmy.

You were dreaming.

Yeah...

Yeah, maybe that's it.

We slid into the hotel.

Wow!

Yeah. That's never happened before.

Oh, wait, except for that one time we slid into the utility closet.

But this is what I call room service.

Oh, maybe we're inter-dimensional preferred customers.

All right guys, we have ten hours.

Okay. Wake me at the millennium.

I'll wake you up in ten hours.

You already had a good sleep.

I got a headache that won't quit.

Got to stop using rocks for pillows.

Maybe he should see a doctor.

Oh, no, Diana. Come on, he's just tired.

Oh, I mean it could be something else.

He could be suffering from some kind of physical problem

or even some neurological trauma.

It's obvious something is bothering him.

What if he wigs out in a crisis?

If somebody flakes at a time when we need him or...

Well, that's not gonna happen.

And even if it does, we do what we always do.

We stick together and we pull him through.

Now just let the poor man sleep, okay?

Rembrandt! Rembrandt,

why won't you talk to me?

It's really me. It's Wade.

They're coming for me. We haven't got much time.

Please say something!

- Move it! - Remmy, please!

- Help me! - Let's go!

- Remmy! - Move it! Move it!

Help me!

Remmy! Please!

Wade!

It's okay, Remmy, we're here with you.

You were having a bad dream.

You were dreaming about Wade again.

Yeah.

Yeah, you might say that.

But I don't think it was a dream.

Well, Remmy, you were here with us the whole time.

You never went anywhere.

Okay, I'll buy that.

I never left this place.

But I think Wade was trying to contact me.

- Hey. - Hey.

What are you looking for?

Well, there's no shame in seeking professional help.

In the yellow pages?

What is with you?

Remmy is sick. Don't you want to help him?

I'm sorry. I... I just...

I don't know. I...

I probably over-reacted, you know?

I mean, you know me, when all else fails I turn to science.

What about when science fails?

I can't say who you saw or who you thought you saw,

but Maggie said there's not much hope Wade's still alive.

She's still alive.

Look, I can't explain it.

I felt her.

That's not something you just dream.

Wade is out there and we've gotta find her.

But none of us saw her.

And even if we had, how do we track her down?

I don't know.

I don't know, but we gotta do something!

Uh, guys, you'd better get in here!

What is that thing?

I don't... I don't know!

If it's a dream, we're in it now.

Did you see her that time?

Well, we definitely saw something.

Is it a wormhole?

Well, I'm definitely getting extra vibrational readings,

like something seeping through from another dimension.

But, obviously, that wasn't the standard, off-the-rack wormhole.

It's a doorway.

A doorway?

A doorway to where?

I don't know.

But the next time it appears, we need to go through it.

Just like that?

How do you know that?

Wade told me.

I don't know how to explain it.

It was like a blast of images runnin' through my head.

What kind of images?

Memories. I think...

At least that's what it felt like.

Felt like I was living in Wade's memories.

I felt her... her life.

Wade needs our help.

She's on the other side of that doorway and she's calling out to me.

How is that possible?

I don't know, man.

Maggs messed with my head a while back.

Maybe it has something to do with that.

Some kind of side effect that Wade's able to tap into.

Maybe you've got some kind of psychic link to her.

So, the next time this unknown vortex appears,

you're just gonna jump in?

Yeah, I am.

Am I the only one here who thinks this might not be a great idea?

Remmy, look, if you give me some time,

I can analyze the data and figure out what this thing is.

There's no time for that, Diana.

She's leading us to her.

You feel really strongly about this, don't you?

Yeah, I do.

Okay, then I'm going with you.

You're serious?

If Remmy says it's so, it's so.

Look, guys, if this data is correct,

there could be another dimension

on the other side of that doorway.

Or...

we could be jumping into nothing.

Uh-oh.

Whatever it is, there's another one coming up fast.

Okay.

Better decide.

I think I already made this decision.

New world, new chance.

We're still alive. I like that part.

I've seen this place.

This is the world where I saw Wade.

This was in one of the images.

Well, whatever it is we're here to do,

we have two hours and six minutes in which to do it.

We're gonna be okay. Come on.

You know, I wish I could've met Wade.

From what you guys say, she sounds like someone I would've liked.

A techie, like me.

Ah, that girl was something.

I've seen her face down dinosaurs,

flesh-eating zombies and vampires.

Okay, so maybe she's not so much like me.

I can't face down a sales clerk over a return item.

It wasn't always bad times.

I'm not saying that it isn't an adventure...

But?

But... mostly I just want to be back home.

Enjoying life

and the people that I love.

And...

being here with you,

at least I get half of my dream.

The hell she got dumped in, that breeder's camp.

It's gnawed at my gut for two years.

It makes me feel like a damn coward.

You would have saved her if you could have.

Don't be too sure.

Manta ship!

Everybody take cover! Now!

Man.

Let's move. Let's move!

Go! Go!

Could be the reason for your mind link.

Kromaggs.

You think it's some kind of trap?

We've fallen into their trap before.

Maggs didn't lure us here.

I know what you guys are thinking.

That brainwashing they did to me back on Earth Prime,

that's done with. That was long ago.

You were there, Maggie.

When I went after Quinn.

Yeah.

When Rembrandt got separated from us on that utopian world,

how long was he gone for?

What are you saying?

What I'm saying is...

How can we even be sure this is our Rembrandt?

You were the one calling him crazy, remember?

Ah! It stinks in here!

What is this place?

Magg medical lab, so to speak.

This is where they would

tattoo the bars on your arm,

that's if you pass the DNA scan.

And if you don't?

Remmy, look, it's okay. They're gone now.

I guess even the Maggs have to deal with budget cuts.

Oh, God!

I can't imagine what it must've been like to have been here.

I don't have to imagine.

I remember.

Wade?

You're closer, Rembrandt.

I can feel you close to me.

In my thoughts.

I can feel you, too.

Stronger somehow.

Look, you brought us to this world, but... but how?

I'm not sure. My thoughts made it so.

Feeling weak.

You're close, Rembrandt.

Will try to maintain link... Follow it.

You just lead the way.

Be careful.

Danger. Kromaggs. New weapon.

Don't you worry.

Nothing... Nothing is going to stop me from finding you.

But why here, Wade? Why... Why this place?

Memories. Last place I remember you.

This is a hell of a final memory.

God, you must hate me.

Could never hate you.

I say we just lay low until we can slide outta here.

With any luck, we'll get Rembrandt some help on the next world.

Even you have to be having second thoughts about this.

I know him.

If he's determined to do this, he's gonna do it with or without us.

And I'm gonna be there.

Guys... look, I know this sounds crazy but, uh...

What if we sedate him?

This is in Kromagg.

How do you even know what's in this?

Well, it looks like a standard veterinary kit.

Looks like?

You're gonna hit Remmy with something you think is a tranquilizer?

It may be for his own good.

We may all become permanent residents here

unless we act now.

I suggest we put it to a vote.

Do I get to vote?

You don't believe me.

Well, I can't say I blame you.

- Remmy... - It's okay.

You all have to go on.

But I won't.

I have to find her.

On my own if it comes to that.

That's not the issue, so don't even take that stand!

Look, you once threw me into the vortex when I was brainwashed.

Now, I didn't want to go.

But you did it for my own good

and you were right to do it.

Sometimes we just gotta think for each other.

Touché.

Uh, look, I'll tell you what,

I'll cut you a deal.

You give me an hour.

If I don't find Wade by then,

then we can all head for the hills.

And you can put me in that strait jacket.

We wouldn't do that, Rem.

We don't even know your size.

Come on.

Remmy, one hour.

All right.

One hour starting from now.

Any idea where we're going?

This way.

Don't ask me how I know.

Sweet Mary and Joseph.

Look at the size of that thing.

Please don't tell me Wade is in there.

For such a big bad Kromagg base,

they seem short on security.

No, it's here.

Wade is just moving us around it.

Here.

This way.

She's getting stronger.

What the hell are we doing here?

Well, considering what we've been through,

I'd call it beating the odds.

I'd rather beat the odds with an AR-15

and a couple of full bandoliers.

Maybe there's something in there that can help us.

Oh, God! What is goin' on here?

It's Kromagg science...

The things that I've seen these guys do

would make Frankenstein lose his lunch.

Were they doing this at the camps you were in?

No. No. We didn't have it this bad.

Looks like they've taken things to another level here.

What if, uh...

Wade is in one of these?

She's not.

She's down there.

Shh!

What's so funny?

Wade triggered the alarm.

I don't know how you did it, girl, but nice goin'.

Wade?

Oh, my God!

She's still alive.

Haven't you been listening to me?

I never should've doubted you, Rem.

What have you done to her?

Get her outta there, you filthy Maggs!

Transdimensional travelers.

You are no doubt aware it is illegal for humans to utilize this technology.

So write us a ticket.

Remmy...

No.

Wade.

What's wrong?

She's gone.

Just a slight increase of voltage to her cerebellum electric field

and she becomes more compliant.

Only now were we able to figure out that she was leading you here.

That she was able to displace you dimensionally to this world.

So Wade did create those wormholes?

Those weren't wormholes.

Not in your limited mode of understanding anyway.

Now we can finally render your system of

transdimensional travel obsolete.

Somehow Wade is a part of all that?

She is one of the key elements

along with the others.

Remmy, they're using her like a computer.

Very perceptive...

but she's much more than that.

She is a Cyberiad.

Her mind is the essence of a psionic drive,

a system of folding space

that will power our transdimensional fleet.

I don't get it. What's this get you sliding doesn't?

Human consciousness has always been a theoretic part of space-time,

but nothing we could prove mathematically.

We can prove it.

Then a mind with enough imaginative power behind it

can travel to any point in any universe

without making a hyperspace traverse.

Like the electron fog around the nucleus of an atom.

Very good, human.

Our psionic units must be conscious enough to power the drive.

But sufficiently tranquilized to keep them docile.

I find it deliciously ironic to use a human mind

as a weapon against the humans who have banned us from our home world.

Then you've cooked this up to get past the slidecage...

To invade Kromagg Prime.

Ha! To repatriate it.

Take them to the cells.

And throw this antique away.

Wade, Wade, I'm sorry!

We're sorry we failed you!

Pathetic.

Listen up, Kromaggot.

We're gonna get her out of there and that's a promise.

What was that all about?

Just hedging our bets.

I'm tired of cooling off my heels in a Kromagg jail cell.

I'll be damned if I'll lose any more of my friends to you sick bastards.

Remmy!

Rembrandt?

Don't worry, Maggie.

I lost my taste for Kromaggs along time ago.

Ah!

Get some bandages, sheets, towels, anything.

Hey. What was that stunt you pulled, huh?

I'll die before I let that happen.

Before I do that to anyone else...

Do what?

At first they kept Wade and me in the same cell.

We knew the Maggs would be listening, so we didn't talk much.

But it helped just seeing each other.

Being together.

Then they'd separate us for questioning.

I'd be gone for hours.

When they finished they'd dump me back into the cell.

Sometimes Wade was there...

sometimes she wasn't.

They messed with my head pretty good.

They pumped me full of drugs.

Made me see things that weren't there.

After a while I didn't know whether it was Wade or some Kromagg impostor...

I mean, how was I to know for sure?

You couldn't have.

We all know what the Kromaggs can do.

Yeah.

So, I just shut her out.

And then they took her.

She fought and she screamed.

And I just sat there.

They said they would take her to a breeder camp unless I talked.

Just figured it was part of the show.

I never saw her again.

You didn't know it was her.

I tried to convince myself that it was a scam.

You know, that it was a Kromagg head game,

just to get me to talk, but that's a bunch of crap.

You know why?

Why?

Because when they were taking her away...

I saw the pain and the fear in her eyes.

It was her.

Anyway, I told them everything about us,

begged them to bring Wade back.

Two months later, you and Quinn came and got me.

Now I've failed her again.

That isn't entirely true.

You shut off Wade's tranquilizer.

Well, I figured if you can maintain that link with her...

we're gonna need all the help we can get.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Hey, you two...

You sure keep me guessing.

You all right?

Tranquilizer must be wearing off.

I'm starting to feel Wade again.

- And they've moved her. - Where?

There.

That's the launch control for the manta ship.

The invasion is about to get underway.

Are you still feeling a connection to Wade?

It's still there.

It's a little cloudy.

She's still weak.

Guys, I don't know how long it'll take the Kromaggs

to discover she's off the tranquilizer.

And then what?

Huh?

Come on, help me out people, I'm running out of ideas.

That's easy. We find a way in.

A way in? Look at that place.

Remmy,

think of nothing but Wade.

Okay, close your eyes. Easy.

Concentrate.

Send her a message.

You're doing it.

Come on people, let's move!

Ooh! Which way?

We want launch control.

That way.

Wait, do we have a plan?

This act is strictly improv, kid.

Just checking...

This way.

How refreshing to actually underestimate a human mind for a change.

It's a mistake I have no intention of making twice.

Clever human, indeed.

To know us is to love us.

But to no avail.

You are just in time to witness the greatest triumph of the Kromagg race.

The liberation of our home world.

Bridge, this is Kesh.

Standby to launch.

Initiate transdimensional fold.

Once our ships are past the slidecage,

we will bombard the planet with an anti-human plague.

And we owe it all to your friend, and her colleagues.

Sad to say, but the prolonged psionic effort of this mission

will probably burn their brains down to cinders.

Fortunes of war.

Remmy, they've doped her up again.

Can you still get through?

I don't know.

There's got to be a way for her to shut down the system drive.

Wade, it's show time.

If you don't do something now, the stinking Maggs are gonna get it all, girl.

C'mon, talk to me.

Remmy, are you there?

I'm here, Wade. You've gotta help us.

Where are we?

How did I get here, Remmy?

I'm confused.

55 seconds and counting.

Wade, remember what you did with the door and the alarm?

Now, there's got to be a way for you to interface with the control panel.

Can't get in. System's protected.

Wade, you are the system.

There must be a way in.

Can't focus. Drugged.

Come on, girl. Try.

Lock the door.

- Locked. - Got it.

I don't think she really understands what they've done to her.

I can increase the electrical stimulant.

That'll make her more coherent.

Don't you worry, Wade.

We'll get you out of this.

I've got voice com.

Can't you do it?

Yes, but there's a fail-safe mechanism.

If I disconnect her, she'll flatline.

Remmy, I have to see myself.

I have to know what they've done to me.

Let me look through your eyes.

Please.

We don't have time.

They'll be through that door any second!

I can't deny her this.

She deserves to know.

Go ahead, Wade.

But you're not gonna like what you see.

No!

What's happening?

The shock must've caused an adrenaline rush.

She's flushing the tranquilizer.

She's awake! Completely awake!

Listen to me, all of you.

The Kromaggs will be through that door in another minute.

You've got to get out.

Now!

Hurry! I can't guarantee where it will come out,

but it's better than staying here.

That ship's not going anywhere.

No, we're not leaving you here.

Remmy, there's nothing you can do.

I can be here!

We've got 20 seconds till the slide.

Are you coming?

No.

Go!

You can't save her, Remmy.

I turned my back on her once, Maggie!

I'm not gonna do it again.

I need you.

I love you, Remmy.

But I can't let you do this.

Everyone's gone now.

The Professor, Wade,

Quinn, Colin,

Remmy.

Here... You guys go on without me.

I'm through.

I've come to the end.

Remmy.

Thank God.

What happened?

I don't know what happened.

But Wade did it.

She tore 'em apart.

She destroyed the manta ship, the control room, everything.

And then she brought me here.

What happened to her?

I don't know.

Wade's gone.

But somehow, I feel, I sense...

I'll always be with you, Remmy.

Whenever you need me, I'll be there.
