Lisa Morgan is brought to the Gemini Project island and a group of Marines attack her and Burch goes into a tent to get Colonel Cencula. Hutch is next in line to fight Lisa and is egged on by Black Ball Soldier 2 and Ty Phillip. Colonel Cencula, Burch and Dr. Bainbridge come over to watch. Lisa puts in some headphones and listens to music and then beats Hutch and the others up including Black Ball Soldier 4 and Plummer. Colonel Cencula tells her she passed the test and welcomes her to the Gemini Project. He talks to her about twins and then reads Lisa, her family history. Cencula tells Lisa, her sister didn't die in prison, but was also a part of the Gemini Project until she died in an accident. In the morning, Colonel Cencula and Dr. Bainbridge brief Lisa on the project. He shows her a video of the Large Alien he calls Spike attacking and killing a researcher and notes how one alien felt the pain of another hundreds of miles apart from each other. A security alert goes off and Dr. Templeton tells Colonel Cencula that the Small Alien almost regained consciousness. In Washington D.C., General Tabor has a video conference call with Colonel Cencula asking about the status of the project. Cencula tells Tabor they are on schedule and Tabor tells him he has two weeks to complete the project. General Tabor video chats with Cencula again and afterwards Cencula tells Hutch there is a mole in the group. Cencula, Manning and Dr. Bainbridge enter the lab and Cencula demands the Small Alien follow his orders. Cencula has a researcher patch him in to the Large Alien and video conferences with various people. Manning commands Dr. Templeton to move around and enter the enclosure of the Large Alien which quickly rips apart Dr. Templeton. Cencula holds a bidding for the blue substance and Mr. Bok wins the bid after beating Yemen Leader. Cencula and the men then celebrate the money they will soon have and the others leave while Cencula stays behind. He tells Lisa to come out of hiding and she calls him a traitor. Cencula tells her that Dr. Templeton killed Lisa's sister by giving her an overdose and he plans on killing the Large Alien so no one can have it. Dr. Bainbridge confronts Cencula and Cencula tells him he better start packing his bags. Cencula asks Manning where the thumb drive is with the codes. Cencula orders a red alert to find Lisa. General Tabor calls Cencula once more and tells him he is leaving to have Cencula arrested. Burch tells Cencula a landmine was activated in Sector 7. Plummer runs to Lisa and asks her to come back with him and she soon realizes he is being controlled by Manning. Cencula orders Manning to get him the codes and Burch orders Cencula to stand down. Burch is then shot by Hutch and Ty Phillip. Plummer fights to regain control of himself and grabs Lisa's rifle and shoots himself in the neck and Cencula shoots Manning in the head. Cencula then activates Evacuation Code 5 and frees the Large Alien. Dr. Bainbridge is grabbed and forced to link with the Large Alien. The Large Alien runs towards Lisa and then protects her from a rock fall. Cencula goes to the Small Alien and sets a self destruct for the base. Lisa plays her music over the PA system and the Small Alien uses its mind powers to hurt Cencula and his troops. She makes it to the lab and points her pistol at Cencula who points his at her. Cencula tells her to give him the codes and refuses to free the Small Alien due to the fear that politicians will use it to control the populace. Lisa shoots the gas used against the Small Alien and the Large Alien breaks into the lab and kills Cencula.
