black permanent marker on the top...in Howie's handwriting.Jameson also hands Howie a remote and leaves the room, "Here, use my room.  I'll be back in about an hour."[sblock=The DVD]The screen is blank for nearly a minute, then Howie's own face appears on the screen, "Ok, well, this is awkward, talking to myself, but, hey, whatever.  Alright, uh, me, here's the deal.  Our team went to the future and ended up spending more than a year stranded in there in this barren, always dark wasteland.  You...uh...me, I mean, well, us...oh screw it...most of the team was captured by these black skinned alien things called Drow.  Morgan and I managed to evade them and rescue the others, along with a little girl the Drow were holding for some reason.  The civilian doc we had with us, Doctor Logan, managed to get the crystal working again and we got out before the Drow could catch us."The Howie on the video pauses for a second, collecting his thoughts, "Just, watch yourself.  The others were different when we found them, especially Jameson.  We ended up in 1984 for a while and Doc Logan and the little girl stayed there when we finally made it back to our time.  The head honchos are going to do this memory reassignment procedure on all of us.  But, I'm telling you right now, something's not right with the others.  Find Morgan as soon as you see this, alright?  Marine Corporal Thomas Morgan.  Remember that name.  And don't trust Jameson."The video ends.[/sblock]Amy: The GameDanny gets a know-it-all genius look and pulls a well worn book out of his work duffel.  The book is titled, "Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual" with the number 3.5 on it.He flips to a page on elves and shows Amy a picture...of one of the aliens in the gate room camera images Amy saw earlier at the briefing.  With the excitement of a geek educating someone on his favorite subject, Danny explains, "They're called Drow.  They're a subrace of elves and thoroughly evil.  See, it says right here that they use hand crossbows with a sleep poison and the rumor around the base is that that's what the aliens used to take our guys down.  Makes way too much sense, don't you think?"Nathan: The DealJanice looks at Nathan with confusion, "Huh?  I'm not sure I'm following you.  Are you saying you don't believe the whole time travel, psychic power thing?"Janice shrugs at that point, "Um, I guess that's understandable, its just that I've been working with this stuff long enough that nothing really fazes me anymore.  Yes, the Bermudans manifest psionic abilities.  And we're pretty sure, based on all the evidence so far, that they are descended from people who've used the crystal to travel either through time or from other dimensions."She looks Nathan in the eye, "If you're going to work here, you really need to lose the MIT know-it-all thing.  I have a quirky sense of humor, but I don't lie.  Ever."Max: Harvey's SecretsHarvey's eyes go wide and he stops walking, taking Max by the shoulders, "What do you know about that?"He shakes his head, "Dr. Zachary Logan was my research partner back in the 80s.  He and I were roommates at Harvard and we both fell for the same girl, Michelle...your mom.  Then everything turned upside down.  These people, including a man who claimed to be a future version of Zach, showed up on our door one day talking about a crystal and the Bermuda Triangle.  It was all just crazy at the time, but Zach believed them and we managed to get a boat and..."Harvey sighs, "Zach fell overboard and the strange people who said they were from the future, they vanished.  The older Zach stayed behind with a little girl they had with them, Karyn.  If Zach, my Zach, hadn't died I think Michelle would've ended up with him instead of me.  Don't get me wrong, Michelle and I have grown to love eachother, especially when you came along, but I think she married me because Zach was gone."Connor: Getting SettledAfter his physical, a doctor shows Connor some of the images of Connor's brain, "No surprises, really, but this part always get me excited.  You see this area of the brain?"  He points to a part of the computer image highlighted in orange, "Most humans don't use this area the same way you do.  There's a foreign, substance, for lack of a better word, there stimulating your brain activity and we think that's what makes you able to do, well, whatever it is you do."The doc smiles, "Well, anyway, you are healthy."The tech Connor talked to when he came in, Donna, greets him on his way out, "The barber upstairs does the the military guys, so if you want to get rid of that 80s mullet, he's your man.  Now, if you don't want to look like you were just attacked by a lawn mower, you can wait until I'm off duty in an hour and I'll take you into town for a real haircut.  Your choice, Spock."  She offers a quirky smile.</blockquote>
