Writers Notes:- based on the line of thought that the BDM is in an alternate universe – this is proved by the fact that in the movie Simon busts river out of the academy himself instead of as stated in the TV series as the underground movement contacted by Simon breaks river out (probably in the cryo box) in return for funding.

A 2nd season of episodes starting with this episode The Wreck

***

Teaser- a large alliance ship (size of a cruiser – looks like a cross between a space station and a ship) travelling through space

- 4 years ago –

Alliance scientists are walking through white, clean, shiny corridors and pass a flustered scientist and an Alliance officer – they nod to the Head scientist and continue, leaving the scientist to try to keep up with the officers pace.

“He’s like nothing we’ve ever accomplished – you can forget the cyber research with those animals…”

(Indicates a side corridor)

“…this subject is perfect”

‘is that so? I was told there have been difficulties – he rejected the chip!’

The alliance officer is not as optimistic as the scientist

“I admit there have been … problems – the subject is insane because of the treatments – he’s a danger to everyone it can reach”

‘there has been success at controlling insanity in other projects’

“this is different the techniques used have been different to neurological surgery despite having the same basis”

The officer stops abruptly and turns to look at the scientist

Realising mistake “the treatments involved bring the subject to the brink of death and back again and is completely different to creating a psychic in fact we made certain he wasn’t a psychic”

They start walking again

‘The other test subjects’

“didn’t survive”

‘and the problem?’

“its like we’ve induced schizophrenia, the insane section of his psyche is separate and usually dominant over the remaining part of his original personality”

Pauses

“the sane part will be easy to manipulate but the insane part is a tougher entity…”

Fearfully
