On their way to the Flat Planet Café,
Renee Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer) and Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock)
stop to chat with
Devon Zide (Barna Moricz), a member of the Church of the Companions.
Meanwhile, Reverend Travis Murray (Peter Krantz), a leader in the
Church of the Companions, and a group of Volunteers transport Gina
Richardson (Lindy Booth), Devon's girlfriend, to an unknown location
against her will to serve on a Mission. The next day, an upset
Devon meets with Liam to ask for his assistance in locating Gina.
On the mothership, Zo'or (Anita La Selva) and Sandoval (Von
Flores) discuss 'the fields' and the 'dependency' of all
Earth based Taelons.
Liam visits Reverend Murray and the Reverend refuses to disclose
Gina's location because she has taken a vow of silence and has
been sent on a Mission. As Liam leaves, he overhears Reverend
Murray discussing 'the fields' on his global. Liam questions
a very fatigued
Da'an (Leni Parker) about the Church of the Companions and 'the
fields,' and Da'an suggests that Liam further question Reverend
Murray. After Liam exits, Sandoval produces a container that
holds an organic substance. He drops a pinch into Da'an's
palm, which
is immediately absorbed by the Taelon, re-energizing him. When
Liam tries to contact Devon, he discovers that Devon has also
disappeared. Just as Volunteers usher Devon to an unknown
location, Liam calls
Reverend Murray, but the Reverend tells Liam that Devon has left
the faith and he has no knowledge of his whereabouts. Later, Liam and Renee convince Augur (Richard Chevolleau) to give
up his vacation to assist them in finding Devon and Gina. Liam,
posing as Robert Brice from Denver, is invited by Samuel (Sten
Eirik), a missionary of the Church, to attend dinner and a sermon.
After the sermon Liam is introduced to another newcomer, Susan
Evans, who is actually Renee in disguise. While everyone prepares
for bed in the mission dormitory, Liam receives a global message
from Devon. Liam discusses Devon's message with Renee and she tells
him that she's feeling ill. Samuel explains the food is enhanced
with a Taelon additive that acts as a purifying agent and assures
Renee her body will adjust.
On the mothership, Reverend Murray and Sandoval tell Zo'or that
a 'field' has been confiscated by local authorities and that Cary
Truit, a human member of the Church, has died from an adverse reaction
to the additive. Augur analyzes the additive and confirms that
it's a complex alien vegetation and determines that Devon was medicated
while leaving his message for Liam. Augur goes to see Liam and
Renee at the church and informs them of Cary Truit's death and
his procurement of a crystalline substance discovered on her body.
Augur also tells them about the increased Volunteer activity in
the Medical Examiner's office, which leads them to believe that
Sandoval is involved.
Later, Augur reports the discovery of a human component in the
crystalline substance discovered on Cary's body and the possible
location of 'the fields.' During the night, Samuel destroys Liam's
global and portals Liam, Renee and other church members to a Mission.
Liam and Renee enter an artificial environment where other church
members are harvesting a bizarre alien crop. On the mothership,
Reverend Murray discusses the productivity of each 'field' with
Zo'or, assuring him the Taelons' steady increase in demand for
the 'kryss' shall be met. Da'an voices his objection to Zo'or that
the 'kryss' project is located on Earth. Zo'or notes the objection
but stresses that the project will bring Taelons closer to humans
and reiterates the necessity of humans to defeat the Jaridians.
Augur realizes Liam's global isn't functioning and sets out for
Norton, Maryland - the location of 'the fields.'
While Liam and Renee work in 'the fields," they find Devon
and Gina and have a meal of alien vegetation. Upon arriving in
Norton, Maryland, Augur discovers the Church has purchased all
the land in the area and via a satellite hook-up, finds the underground
'field' location. As everyone beds down for the night, Renee screams
and is overcome by pain. Volunteers pin Renee down and siphon the
spore 'kryss' out of her body. Liam watches in horror as this repeatedly
happens to other Missioners until it's his turn. Liam suddenly
realizes that church members are 'the fields.' As Volunteers systematically
collect the 'kryss' and leave, Samuel explains the 'kryss' is a
substance necessary for the Taelons to survive on Earth. While
Liam helps unload the 'kryss,' he spots Sandoval and overhears
him suggesting a joint venture to Samuel. Just as Sandoval thinks
he's recognized Liam, he's notified of a security breach and leaves.
Augur enters the underground 'field' location, knocks out a Volunteer
and locates Liam on the Volunteer's global. As Liam is escorted
back to his workstation, Augur draws Liam's attention and they
disable the Volunteer. Liam and Augur create a diversion by torching
the homeworld Taelon crop. As the Missioners are roused to put
out the fires, Renee locates Devon and Gina and they meet with
Augur and Liam. As the fire escalates, Sandoval orders his Volunteers
to leave, deserting the Missioners and Samuel. Augur leads Liam,
Renee, Devon and Gina to safety. Finally, Samuel decides to abandon
the homeworld crop and the Missioners escape through emergency
portals.
Later, Liam demands an explanation for the Taelon use of humanity
to harvest 'kryss.' Da'an justifies the program as necessary for
Taelon survival. Liam vows to continue to look for homeworld crop
plants and to shut them down. Da'an assures Liam that another method
to sustain the Taelons has been discovered, but he will not disclose
the method.
