Cleopatra 2525


No Thanks for the Memories

Sarge prepares to have a romantic evening with Krider, another former member of the Black Watch. Later, she, Hel, and Cleopatra are called to a safe house room where they are greeted by Marla. The team surveys the number of dead bodies filling the room. Among the fallen are some of Marla's guards, her right-hand man Kavilo and Dylan Degaillen, a noted member of the Black Watch who was acting as a double agent for Marla. When Sarge sees Dylan, she has a quick flashback of a firefight, but shrugs it off. Marla plays the holodisc that contains the incident that killed the men and everyone is shocked to see Sarge leading the ambush. Sarge insists she didn't do it, but Marla orders that she be arrested and charged with murder. Marla continues by saying that Sarge's trial shouldn't take long in light of the evidence on the disc. Both Hel and Voice think that Marla's system of justice has become a bit too efficient and the team makes a break for the door. Marla fires a mini laser tracker at Sarge, which lodges in her back unbeknownst to her. The team disappears into a hidden level and Sarge continues to have flashbacks of her training her gauntlets on Dylan. They go to see Krider but to Sarge's surprise, Krider tells the rest of the team that Sarge said she had some ³old business² to clear up with Dylan. Suddenly, proximity alarms blare inside Krider's apartment and the place becomes surrounded by Marla's guards. Sarge has another flashback of the ambush and the guards burst in. Instead of putting up a fight, Sarge takes off her gauntlets, surrenders, and announces that she killed Dylan. Marla removes the tracking device and arrests her.

Sarge is taken away and Hel convinces Marla to scan Sarge's memories to see if they match the crime. Marla agrees, but the scan only confirms that Sarge committed the crime. Sarge is taken to a holding cell to be prepped for a cyro freeze before her sentencing. Believing that their friend is innocent, Hel, Cleopatra and Mauser break her out of prison and Marla announces to Voice and Hel that they've just started a war. The team returns to Mauser's lab and Cleopatra, with her minor in psychology, begins to hypnotize Sarge in an effort to uncover her blocked memories. What Sarge's recounting of the prior evening reveals is that Dylan was in the apartment with her and Krider, indicating that he is still alive. Sarge suddenly announces that she remembers everything. The team breaks into Marla's morgue, but much to their disappointment, they do find Dylan's decaying dead body.

The team is confused, but Hel notices that Dylan's face has changed slightly from a moment earlier. Sarge notices it too and Hel sends Mauser a bioscan to run a chronometric analysis. Mauser tells them that the Dylan in the morgue is a clone of the real Dylan. Hel, Sarge and Cleopatra return to Krider's apartment and Sarge suddenly falls into a hypnotic trance. She reveals that Dylan and Krider devised a way to clone people along with their memories, and that she was cloned to be ³Dylan's² assassin, forcing Marla to look for another mole. Sarge wakes up and Cleopatra notices that she is decaying like the ³Dylan² in the morgue. She realizes that this is Sarge's clone and Hel locates the cloning lab where Krider and the real Dylan are holding Sarge. Sarge's clone dies and a major battle ensues. Marla and her guards suddenly arrive. They apprehend Dylan and Sarge kills Krider. Marla apologizes for the misunderstanding and the team returns to Mauser's lab.
