#DarkMatter Virtual Season 4 - Episode 4.01, Act 3
Picking up where we left off, THREE and Portia trapped in Boone's vault. Without the passcode, they are screwed. But maybe not! Portia pulls out a small explosive device and informs THREE she'll simply blow the door.

THREE: That won't work.
Portia: Yes, it will.
THREE: No, it won't. All it's going to do is cause a lot of damage, to this place and us.
Portia: My nanites will heal me.
THREE: I don't have nanites.
Portia: And what's your point?

THREE appeals to Portia's pragmatic side. Let him search. Maybe he can find something to force the door that will allow them an exit without damaging any of the goods. And by goods, he means all of Boone's swag. Also, yes, select body parts. Portia tells him to start looking.

Elsewhere, two Mikkei cruisers drop out of FTL next to The Raza. A shuttle leaves one of the cruisers and streaks towards our ship.

Truffault has bad news. Traugott is refusing to give up the white hole bomb for use against the aliens. FIVE can't understand why they're allowing petty corporate politics to take precedence here. They need to work together to save the galaxy. Truffault has a theory...

Traugott no longer has the bomb. According to her intel, weeks ago, their research facility was hit by a highly trained retrieval team. By process of elimination, there is only one group capable of pulling off this type of heist: The Galactic Authority. The G.A. has the bomb.

On the other side of the rift, SIX and Tash exchange barbs as they search the facility for a control center that will allow them scan and pinpoint the location of the rift - and their ticket home. The Marauder's sensors have been compromised by the alien atmosphere.

Back in Boone's vault, THREE's search is coming up empty. He is distracted by items from his unremembered past, but Portia reminds him he's on the clock. THREE switches gears and attempts to charm Portia - but she aint buying what he's selling.

Before leaving, Truffault offers some parting advice on dealing with the alien inside TWO. Recently, they captured a "simulant" attempting to infiltrate Mikkei. The alien abandoned that body, but only under extreme torture.
It may be their only option.

SIX and Tash encounter a trio of Ferrous Corp guards abandoned by their comrades, desperate to take The Marauder. Our heroes are outgunned 3-2. "Actually, four to one,"Tash informs SIX, turning to level her sidearm at his head. So much for that unlikely alliance.
