"Pretty impressive driving out there," Domonique says as Letty walks out of the armory with a couple of hand guns in her hands while Domonique works on cleaning a shot gun. "You miss the old life."
"Do you?" Letty asks as Domonique cocks the shot gun.
"Every day," Domonique answers her with a nod, causing Letty to smile.
"Guys. We got a little company," Tej says as he walks down the stairs, causing Domonique and Letty to look at him confused while Mia follows him down the stairs. "Think you know this person."
"It's so good to see you," Letty says as she pulls Mia into a hug.
"I missed you," Mia says as she hugs her back before pulling back while still holding Letty's hands. "Thank you."
"Of course," Letty tells her with a nod before Mia makes her way over to Domonique.
"You should've told me," Mia says with a stern look while Domonique tries to come to terms with her being there.
"She deserved to know," Letty admits with a sigh while looking down.
"Jakob's my brother, too. I need to be here," Mia explains with a slight nod of agreement. "I called Dom and he said that he would come if you called him."
"You get involved here, you put everything you have at risk," Domonique responds as she narrows her eyes at Mia, since she knows how much she is already putting at risk. "Your kids and the whole world that you built."
"We're all risking something," Mia says as she shakes her head before placing a hand on each of her sister's shoulders so Domonique will focus on her. "You listen to me. My kids and yours are in the safest hands possible."
"With Brian, Dom, and Eliza," Letty reveals with a smile since she and Mia had discussed Brian and her kids going to stay with Dom.
"Our world's grown, Moni. I got this one," Mia tells her sister with a confident nod before she pulls her into a hug.
"Just promise me that if I say get out, you leave," Domonique proposes which causes Mia to nod in understanding. "Let's get to work then."
"The firewall on this old thing is actually pretty good. But, you know, port scan, UDP message peek, pop to root shell, and," Ramsey explains to the team, once they all gathered in the main room. "Say hello to Project Aries." The screen behind her starts to show the full device that the piece they had found goes to.
"What is it?" Mia asks as she looks at the screen confused.
"It's what we got from Mr. Nobody's plane. Or at least part of it," Letty answers as she looks from the screen to Mia.
"Aries was designed to override and assimilate anything that runs on code. Any computer anywhere. If it operates on zeros and ones, it's vulnerable," Ramsey explains as the function of the device shows behind her on the screens. "Aries can own it."
"It can weaponize anything," Tej says as he explains deeper and simpler, causing Domonique to frown. "Someone could burn your house down with your refrigerator if the wanted to."
"Oh, so, now my refrigerator's gonna kill me?" Roman asks as he looks between the two.
"It could be made to," Ramsey answers him with a nod.
"How about my George Foreman Grill or foot massager?" Roman asks in a sarcastic manner before laughing.
"Do you know how it feels to create something that could end the world?" Ramsey asks as she looks at Roman.
"No," Roman answers as he glances around at everyone.
"Well, I do," Ramsey tells him while Letty smiles at Roman's shock from Ramsey zeroing him out. "And this will. If you take Aries and upload it to a satellite, it'll spread like a virus. Then it'll be a matter of time before someone can control any weapon system... traditional, nuclear, stuff we haven't even seen yet... and just point it wherever they want. Jakob reboots the world order within minutes."
"Ares is the god of war, right?" Tej says as he looks at Ramsey before looking at everyone else. "If Jakob gets his hands on this, he'll be the god of damn near everything."
"Because of how dangerous it was, the Aries prototype was recovered and split into two halves by Mr. Nobody. Both of which are worthless without the activation key," Ramsey explains as the screens move with her explanation. "Jakob now has one of the pieces. He'll be going after the other half next. As for the key, it's... it's vanished."
"So we find it," Domonique announces which causes everyone to look at her in shock. "If we're gonna beat Jakob to it, we're gonna have to split up." Domonique looks over at Roman and Tej. "Roman, Tej, I know a couple of guys operating out of Germany that could get us anything we need."
"I'm on it," Roman says with a nod.
"Wait, there's one more thing," Tej says which gains everyone's attention. "Mr. Nobody's transmission had one name connected to the key. You guys are gonna want to brace yourselves for this." Tej types on his computer before Han's profile is pulled up on the screen.
"No way," Letty says as everyone looks at the screen in shock.
"That's exactly what I said," Tej agrees with a nod.
"So you're saying Han's death is connected to all of this?" Roman asks as he points at the screen with Han's picture.
"He has to have something to do with it," Mia says as she looks at him with a shrug.
"I'll look into it," Letty offers as she looks over at Tej. "Tej, can you send me all the files you have on Han?"
"Yeah," Tej says before he gets to work on that.
"I'll go with you," Mia says with a nod.
"Letty," Domonique says as she remembers the postcard that she had pulled out of the drawer in their garage. "I got this the day Han died."
"Mexico," Letty says as she recognizes the cross and place.
"Check the postmark," Domonique tells her which causes her to flip the postcard to reveal a Tokyo, Japan postmark. "Whatever he was up to, it ended here."
"Tokyo," Letty says in slight shock since that is where Han died.
"What are you gonna do about Jakob?" Mia asks as she looks at her sister.
"I'm gonna find him," Domonique answers her, causing Mia to look at her worriedly because she still cares about Jakob.
"How?" Mia asks with a raised eyebrow as she walks closer to her sister.
"An old friend," Domonique answers with a slight smirk, causing Mia to look at her confused by who Domonique is talking about. "Buddy."
"Hey," Letty says as she pulls Domonique to the side as they all prepare to go their separate ways for the time being. "Will you see if he knows..." Letty looks down with a frown on her face before shaking her head.
"I'll ask about Lotty," Domonique tells her with a reassuring smile before placing a kiss on her forehead.
