Digest

The episode opens with Juno Steel, a private investigator, being held captive by executives who are attempting to revive Slipp Jackson, a brain worker, using Juno's blood. The executives explain that Juno's blood contains alien compounds that could potentially revive Slipp, who has been brain dead for twenty years. However, the executives also reveal that the labs are on a self-destruct sequence, set to detonate in one hour. They offer Juno a choice: allow them to revive Slipp and collect the necessary data, or face death along with everyone else in the facility. Juno, connected to Slipp through a device called the Ruby 7, feels Slipp's fear and exhaustion. He tries to warn Slipp about the danger, but their connection is one-way. Narev, a character who has been waiting for Slipp's revival for twenty years, makes the decision to bring Slipp back to life, despite the imminent self-destruct. Juno, realizing that he is about to die, pours his thoughts and feelings into the Ruby 7, hoping to reach Slipp. Slipp, hearing Juno's plea for help, responds with a message of understanding and farewell. Juno, fading in and out of consciousness, is rescued by Peter and Rhea, who are determined to get him out of the facility before it explodes. As they escape, Juno realizes that he can no longer feel the Ruby 7, suggesting that his connection to Slipp has been severed. In the final moments, the Ruby 7, now reunited with its other half, merges with Juno and Norev, creating a powerful connection that allows them to escape the exploding facility. The episode ends with Juno, Norev, and the Ruby 7 hurtling through space, leaving the past behind and facing an uncertain future.
