COOK: SECURITY SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN BREACHED, HEAD IMMEDIATELY FOR THE INNER SANCTUM

Jandy and Cook stare out at the seas where an ominous approaching object can be seen

JANDY: WHAT IS IT?

COOK: HOW DO I KNOW I'M BLIND

JANDY: WHAT DOES YOUR HIGHLY SPECIALISED EARLY WARNING SYSTEM THINK IT IS?

The shadow flies past the island dropping a package that floats down on a parachute. The package is the equivalent size of an LP record

COOK: A THREAT, A MAJOR OMINOUS THREAT, NOW

COOK: COULD DO BUT IF IT POSES ANY DANGER TO US, IT'S ALREADY BREACHED THE INNER SANCTUM, MAY AS WELL OPEN IT

Cook hold up the contents a huge shiny disk

COOK: UNBELIEVABLE IT'S A PCM HOLOGRAPHIC DISK, ACTUALLY A PCM+R, YOU CAN WRITE TO IT ONCE AND IT'S STILL BLANK

COOK: YOUR SON SAYS HE FOUND IT IN A CAR BOOT SALE, THINKS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO MAKE USE OF IT. WHICH PART OF THIS DOESN'T SOUND SUSPICIOUS

Jandy is on the balcony of the island's residence looking out. POV from the sea looking in at her

JANDY: EVERY TIME WE SWITCH HIM ON HE STARTS FROM THE SAME IGNORANCE AND WE HAVE TO BRING HIM UP TO DATE

The old hologram boots up

JANDY: WATCH HIS HEART BREAK LOSING KAGLE, THEN MEND WITH GETTING ME

JANDY: THEN SHATTERED IRREPARABLY AS HE REALISES HE'S ALREADY DEAD IN THE PRESENT WORLD

A finger presses the record button

JANDY: SO THAT BRINGS US UP TO DATE, IF YOU'VE NO MORE QUESTIONS WE ARE GOING TO RECORD YOU AS YOUR MIND IS IN THIS STATE

Cook views the 2 PCM disks

COOK: SO HERE WE HAVE AN IGNORANT AGENT PROVOCATEUR AND ON THE OTHER DISK A CONTENTED PROTECTIVE EDUCATED HUSBAND, WHO YOU FORGOT TO TELL IS DEAD

One of the disks bounces out of Cook's hand and smashes on the floor

COOK: WHOOPS

JANDY: WHICH ONE HAVE YOU BROKEN?

MUNTY: MANAGED TO CONCEAL MY TRUE FEELINGS, DESTROY THE OLDER PCM RECORDING OF ME, THIS WORLD HAS CHANGED IN MY ABSENCE AND IT DIDN'T ASK MY PERMISSION
