Working in a secret laboratory, Resistance fighter Paul Chandler (Bobby Dawson) and scientist Terry Wu (Russell Yuen) studied a stolen Taelon shuttle. Suddenly two men burst into the hideout, and in the ensuing gunfire Chandler’s cohorts were killed and the lab was incinerated. At the last minute the shuttle took to the skies, but the pilot of the craft was unknown.

Jonathan Doors (David Hemblen) informed Major Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) and Captain Lili Marquette (Lisa Howard) of the incident just as they were called to duty by Agent Ron Sandoval (Von Flores). Liam and Lili travelled to the lab site where they found evidence that the attack was an inside job, pointing to a traitor within the Resistance. Lili also found her friend Chandler’s dog tags in the ashes, leaving her grief-stricken, but relieved that Paul must have been a victim instead of a culprit. Mourning Paul’s death at Augur’s (Richard Chevolleau) place, Lili and Liam were called to join Sandoval at a remote location where he’d tracked the stolen shuttle. As they burst into a work shed, the three were surprised to find only a radio broadcasting Thomas Paine’s (Damir Andrei) anti-Taelon radio show. In seconds they discovered they’d walked into a trap as the shuttle descended and fired on them, and they barely had time to escape with their lives.

As Zo’or (Anita La Selva) turned up the pressure to find the stolen shuttle, Liam and Lili confronted Thomas Paine at his rural radio station, but he denied any involvement with the stolen shuttle. Sandoval summoned the agents to a warehouse, where two suspects had taken cover. In the ensuing shoot-out one man died, but when Lili confronted the second man trying to escape, she was stunned to see it was Paul Chandler.

When Lili let him escape, Chandler sensed an ally for his mission, and he sneaked into Lili’s apartment to ask her to join him in taking up arms against the Taelons. Lili promised him nothing, but again let him escape into the night.

Liam enlisted Augur’s help in tracking the stolen shuttle, and Augur discovered the shuttle’s engine had been damaged slightly and could cause a huge anti-matter explosion at any time. When Lili contacted Chandler to tell him about the dangerous engine fault, he again entreated her to join his cause. The pilots flew to a lakeside retreat, followed by Liam who tried to talk Chandler into giving himself up. But Chandler had the cottage rigged, and flew off in the shuttle as he detonated his sanctuary. Shaken by the renegade Resistance member’s determination, Lili and Liam took Paul’s VR helmet back to Augur, who decoded its memory. They’re shocked to see Chandler was planning an attack on the Taelon embassy in Washington.

Knowing Chandler’s shuttle would create an explosion equal to a nuclear attack if it hit the embassy building, Lili raced to Washington to get Da’an (Leni Parker) out of harm’s way. Liam and Augur boarded Liam’s shuttle to intercept Chandler in interdimensional space before he could complete his mission. As a dog-fight ensued between Chandler and Liam, Da’an refused to leave his office, telling Lili he wouldn't succumb to terrorism. As the shuttle entered normal airspace, the embassy suddenly transformed itself into an armed fortress. Neither Lili nor Liam could stop Chandler on his deadly path and his shuttle exploded against the Taelon embassy which diverted the cataclysmic blast up to the heavens. Chandler was dead, and Lili wondered whether his call to arms should be heeded by the Resistance.
