Holiday: Really? Then why is the tank reading "nearly empty"? weaver: Oh, gee.
I must have not had time to Calibrate the nanite-capacity Gauge.
I must have been interrupted by Some know-it-all chick in a big Hurry to tell me how to do my Job! rex: Oh, weaver's just as Warm and cozy as I remember him, Too.
[ beeping ] Nanites are flowing.
[ beep ] Can't we skip the gas, doc? dr.

rex: The pack's outside.
Don't worry.
I took care of them.

Holiday: Rex.
bobo: What? I'm just tidying up.
rex: Can't believe you let These scags get the drop on you.
six: They tried.
It didn't turn out so well.
Just haven't found a way to Fight xenoflurine gas Yet.
Who are you working for? rex: Van kleiss.
That's why biowulf and Skalamander came knocking.
six: The pack? Here? dr.
Holiday: Of course.
The low tank reading, the high Stakes at the poker table.
Weaver and his crew have been Trading rex's surplus nanites For cash.
six: You panicked and gassed Us before we could catch you in The act.
rex: [ grunts ] So, thanks to you, all this Time, I've been supplying Nanites to van kleiss?! weaver: Aah! [ groans ] Keep away from me, freak! [ beeping ] dr.
Holiday: Six, it's sealed From the inside.

Holiday: They're Deactivated nanites, weaver -- Completely harmless.
weaver: [ chuckles ] Van kleiss isn't gonna pay top Dollar for deactivated nanites.
dr.
Holiday: You've found a Way to reactivate them.
weaver: What's the matter, Doc? Think you're the only genius Working for providence? rex: I don't think he's Lying.
Something was definitely up with The nanites in the tank.
six: Don't do anything Stupid, weaver.
weaver: You're all just gonna Leave this base like nothing Ever happened.
Then give safe passage and total Immunity for me and my crew.
bobo: Yeah, what's left of 'em.
six: Now, why would we do That? biowulf: 'cause it'd be a Shame to waste all those Precious nanites.
rex: [ grunts ] dr.
Holiday: Stop! Need I point out that this isn't The best place for a fight? Anything happens to that storage Tank, and you'll know why Providence made this place so Remote.
Now let's just talk this out Calmly, rationally.
biowulf: Whatever happens Here, weaver, it's nothing Compared to what van kleiss Would have done to you.
[ beeping ] dr.
Holiday: Weaver, no! Don't you know what will happen If you unleash those activated Nanites? [ energy humming, intensifies ] [ energy crackling ] rex: I'll shut it down.
dr.
Holiday: Rex, we don't Have time! We have to go! [ beeping ] weaver: Wait! It was just to get rid of them.

[ grunts ] weaver: [ grumbles ] six: Maneuver him away from The ship, and I'll take the Shot.
rex: I said I can handle This! [ gun *** ] All right, I'll try to maneuver Him.
[ engines powering up ] [ rumbling ] dr.
Holiday: [ gasps ] [ rumbling intensifies ] We need to get this thing Airborne -- now! bobo: [ shivers ] I'd settle for just cranking up The heater.
weaver: [ roaring ] [ howling ] rex: Oh.

Hyah! weaver: [ wailing ] Doesn't anything hurt this guy? [ engines powering up ] dr.
Holiday: Come on.
Come on! [ grunting ] bobo: Aaaaaaaaaah! six: We just have to hold him Off till the air strike.
rex: Air strike? You called in an air strike?! six: You can't possibly Absorb all those nanites.
You'd overload in an instant.
Do not cure.
That's an order.
rex: [ grunts ] [ energy humming ] In case you haven't noticed, I have this problem with Authority.
weaver: [ groaning ] six: This is beyond your Limits, rex.
[ energy humming ] rex: [ groaning ] [ echoing ] come on, rexy.

Engage.
Take the shot.
six: Rex! rex: Ungh! Unh! six: [ grunts ] [ energy humming ] rex: [ moans ] Did I say something? Before? six: Don't worry about it.
It was just the nanites talking.
Figure of speech.
We're gonna get you help.
rex: Thought I could handle It.
six: I know.
weaver: [ roaring ] [ crashing ] [ thud ] rex: Guess I'm not the only One who needs a little backup, Eh, six? dr.
Holiday: Thought we'd Lost you that time, rex.
rex: [ moans ] I just had the weirdest dream.
six: It wasn't a dream.
rex: ButParadise base six: Was destroyed.
This is purgatory base.
dr.
Holiday: You don't think Providence would risk leaving Its most valuable asset without A backup facility? bobo: And that ain't the best Part.
rex: Isn't exactly a tropical Paradise.
bobo: Eh.
Least it's warm.
six: He told me he could hear Them.
dr.
Holiday: I picked this up During the offload.
[ beeping ] It's nanite.
I'm sure of it.
six: Seems there are more Secrets inside that kid than we Realized.
