The Wrath of Achilles (Episode 116)

Below ground in their secret headquarters, William Boone (Kevin Kilner) argued with Jonathan Doors (David Hemblen) about a new Resistance offensive. Augur (Richard Chevolleau) had invented a computer virus capable of infiltrating Taelon security and shutting down all of their systems at the Washington embassy. Captain Lili Marquette (Lisa Howard) loaded the virus using her shuttle controls to avoid a trace. Boone was against the operation and warned that the Resistance had no way of knowing how the Taelons would react when under open assault. The virus started to affect Taelon communications and security immediately. Agent Ron Sandoval (Von Flores) called in Boone and Lili. Though on opposite sides regarding the virus offensive, they still had to work together in their roles as Taelon security officers. Lili took Da'an (Leni Parker) in the shuttle to an appointment in San Francisco while Boone stayed behind with Sandoval to try to stop the virus as it shut down one Taelon system after another. What the Resistance failed to anticipate was that the virus would also affect everything hooked into the Taelon computer and communication system worldwide -- including Lili's shuttle. Da'an and Lili were suddenly in real danger as their shuttle lurched out of control. Boone ordered Augur to activate the counter-virus, but they realized it was no longer feasible since the Taelon datastream was completely corrupted. As Lili prepared to crash-land the shuttle, Boone and Sandoval were also under attack as the Taelon building started to deteriorate around them. Lili crashed the shuttle into the mountains. Da'an escaped without injury, but Lili was badly hurt. Da'an saved her life by getting her out of the craft just before it exploded. When she regained consciousness, Lili was very conflicted about the fact that she owed her life to Da'an. Meanwhile, Augur raced to rework the counter-virus while the virus continued to wreak havoc all over the world. As Da'an tended to Lili's injuries, Boone and Sandoval tried to find the shuttle crash site. Lili urged Da'an to leave her behind but the Taelon refused. Meanwhile, Doors sent out a Resistance retrieval team with orders to kill Da'an if it meant saving Lili's life. Realizing the threat to Da'an, Lili showed her gratitude to him by throwing away her locator device and hiding from the search team.

Back at Taelon headquarters, Boone and Sandoval were under assault by the deteriorating building as the organic structure tried to eliminate all foreign elements. Boone refused to leave, determined to use the failing systems until he could find Lili and Da'an. Augur thought he could stop the virus, but he had to send Boone deep into the building to access the central processor. Boone and Sandoval made their way through the dangerous corridors. Meanwhile, the Resistance team found Da'an and Lili. The soldiers began to question Da'an about Taelon experiments on Earth. Back at Taelon headquarters, Boone and Sandoval made it to the central processor, but Augur's plan failed. With worldwide disaster imminent, the huge Taelon mothership suddenly filled the sky, sending a wave of energy over Earth that was able to halt the virus. When the Taelon systems were completely restored, Boone confronted Doors about the foolishness of his plan. As Da'an and Lili recuperated from their ordeal with a new appreciation for each other, Da'an invited Lili to share a Taelon form of communication. While physically touching hands, they shared thoughts and feelings in an intense way that left them both flushed with emotion.
