TC 2000

No one took the environment seriously

until it was too late.

Food, water and air were poisoned by the years of pollution.

Most people died of disease and hunger.

The rich people moved underground where it was safe.

Everyone else was left behind.

Killers and criminals formed ruthless gangs.

When they weren't fightin' each other,

they were tryin' to break into the underworld

to steal our food and water.

That's where I come in.

I work for TCU, Tracker-Communicator,

an elite division of the Underworld security forces.

Our job was to track the breakers,

kick them out or terminate them.

Jason, it looks like there's trouble

with the protective voice bit.

Shoot this Zoey, and let's get the hell outta here.

Copy.

Standby to record.

I had a laser decoder, a high-voltage immobilizer

and a rookie partner named Zoey Kinsella.

Entrance granted.

Unit 22.

Her father helped form the Underworld

before he was murdered.

I was sure she was gonna get my ass in trouble,

but she was cool.

Man, is it hot up there or what?

It's just one big fryin' pan out there.

Hey Henshaw, Dale.

You're late.

We're lucky we made it here at all.

My heart bleeds.

Would you rather have the night shift?

Oh gee, I don't know.

What do you think, Jason?

Tough call.

Relaxing night off or Surface World at night.

Keep your eyes open, guys.

Hey, it's a jungle out there.

Exit granted.

Unit 99.

Let's hope it's a quiet night.

What I'd give for a cup of coffee

and a fresh donut about now.

Look out!

Control, unit 99.

We're under attack.

Transition gate 11.

Send backup.

Attention, code three security alert.

Repeat, code three security alert.

Breaker attack in progress.

All available TC units standby.

Oh shit.

Well so much for a relaxing night off, huh?

Tell me 'bout it.

Unit 22, security breach in transition.

Sparks, this is Storm and Kinsella.

We're trackin' 'em.

- Let's go. - Yeah, let's do it.

Confirmed, 22.

Be careful out there.

You're outnumbered.

Two down.

Look out behind you.

Control, ETA to transition gate one minute.

Riles.

Entrance denied.

Quick, grab a body.

Go through the gate.

Entrance granted.

Unit 99.

They're heading toward sub-level three.

They must be heading toward the food storage center.

Sparks, Storm and Kinsella here.

We're trackin' two breakers in the quadrant X-17.

Looks like they're hungry.

No backup required... yet.

TC-Unit 22, this is Control.

What is your status?

Over.

Control, Unit 22.

We have breakers at X-17, Y-42.

Unit will split solo.

On our way.

I'll take the big guy.

Take care of yourself, partner.

You too.

Oh shoot.

Man.

Back to Surface World for you, chump.

Unit 22, Kinsella has breaker in custody.

Ditto, partner.

Let's get these breakers topside.

You got it.

Attention,

return to security status six.

Hi.

Breakers have been apprehended

and obtained.

Repeat, return to security status six.

Hey Sparks.

The job is done, Sparks.

Controller wants to see you.

Nice work.

Thanks.

Bigelow, Harold out.

How the hell did the breakers get in?

They used the dead bodies of Dale and Henshaw.

Shit.

Man, that shit is ridiculous.

You know, someone is feeding the breakers

our exact schedules.

I know.

It's bad, but I'm looking into it personally.

Meanwhile, we've gotta keep our patrols up

or the breakers will be all over us.

Sparks, send him in here.

He's on his way, sir.

So what've you found today?

Well we recorded a variety of topographical locations.

When you match it to Jason's gathering chip,

think you just might find that Mother Nature's

working on a remedy for the lack of ozone.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Cameron, I'd like you to meet Zoey Kinsella and Jason Storm.

The two best trackers that we have.

Cameron Johnson.

We've met before.

How could I forget?

You spent a year putting word viruses

in my computer programs.

Dr. Cameron was my cybernetics professor at the university

until he left to go to med school at what was it, 14?

So I suppose he was captain of the football team.

Well we're on the same team now.

Cameron's gonna analyze the data that you bring me,

see how it interfaces with our new

TC project on Surface World.

TC 2000 X's actually.

2000 X?

Yeah, cybernetic trackers.

Nice to know you can always be replaced.

Well I wouldn't worry about that.

We haven't had a lot of volunteers for this project.

Well, if it would mean movin' to Surface World.

You won't find me signin' up.

Oh, that surveillance camera at the communication center,

it just looks like a standard breakdown

in the protective force field.

Thanks, Zoey.

Sparks?

Establish unit 13 to the communication center.

Repair surveillance camera.

Aww.

You little prick!

Nice attitude to start the day, blondie.

Yeah, well nice assignment.

Dale and Henshaw just got fuckin' smoked

comin' through that transition gate.

Shit.

Gettin' really scary out there.

Fuckin' Controller.

Someone should ship his ass up there.

What did you say, track?

Hey, it's the Controller's right-hand man.

Hey.

Back off, Bigelow.

See you in the gym, tracker.

All right, you two.

You know the rules.

Our enemies are the criminals of Surface World,

not each other.

When trackers and guards have problems,

they sort them out here in the gym.

Anything goes.

All right, Bigelow.

Let's go.

Take this track down.

Fight, Bigelow.

Do it.

Let's go, Jason.

C'mon, Jason.

Jason, come on.

Man, get up. Make him work for it.

C'mon, Jason. You can do it.

Go!

Yeah, yeah!

Go, Jason! Go!

Get up!

Go!

Go, Jason! Go!

Come on. Let's go, Jason!

C'mon!

Let's go, Jason!

Yes, yes!

Get him, Jason.

C'mon, c'mon!
