Antarctica

Private: *walking along with the migration, in the back, where he'd be unnoticed, where no one would pay attention to him* I've had slow a slow week. There hasn't been much trouble since the migration started. I guess that just makes my job easier. I--OW! What was that?" *feels a prick on the back of his neck...then reaches back & pulls a small dart from the back of his neck*

Private: "What th--whoa..." *his vision becomes blurred, the world tips back & forth & begins spinning...feeling dizzy, sleepy...he falls forward... unconscious*

1 小时 Later...

Private: "Oooooh...Where am I?" *looks around to find himself in some underground lair*

(????): "Good morning, sleeping beauty."

Private: "Wh-who was that? Where are you?! 显示 yourself!"

(????): "There is no need for fear, Private. I've been watching you...very closely..."

Private: "Who are 你 & why have 你 tied me to this chair?! How do 你 know my name?! I demand answers!"

(????): "Oh, Private. It is 你 who will be taking orders from me."

Private: "What are 你 talking about?"

(????): "I know about your mother Private. I know what happened to her..."

Private: "I...I don't want to know...I don't even want to know how 你 know..."

(????): "She was attacked 由 a leopard seal, Private. A large, carnivorous. leo--"

Private: "SHUT UP! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING 你 HAVE TO SAY!!!" *wiggles & tries to free himself from the chair*

(????): "If only your Uncle could have saved her...But he was too busy saving someone else..."

Private: "Wha--What do 你 mean...Someone else..."

(????): "He was saving someone else's mother...A young fellow named Skipper...It was his mother he was saving..."

Private: "Why are 你 telling me this? And why won't 你 显示 yourself?"

(????): "I only want to help 你 Private...Don't 你 want to get vengeance for your mother? If Skipper's mother wasn't there, Nigel would've saved Susan...Not Teressa..."

Private: "I...You...Um..."

(????): "C'mon...Join me Private! If 你 do what I say, 你 can have vengeance on your mother, & I can have satisfaction of knowing that the world has been set straight again..."

Private: "What do 你 have against this Skipper fellow? What has he ever done to you?"

(????): "Oh, it's not what he's done to me, Private. It's what I'm going to make him do for me...He has somewhat of a...talent...that I could use..."

Private: "Then why don't 你 get him yourself?"

(????): "Private? Don't 你 want to avenge your mother's death? That's all I want to do for you..."

Private: *thinks a minute* "...What do I have to do."

(????): *releases Private* "Just follow me."

Private: *stands & turns around* "Who are you? What's your name?"

(????): "I am known as...Dr. Blowhole."
