[video] the conspiracies don't start till i walk in

[It is 3 am. Danny's hair is disheveled, and he is in his freemasonry-symbol pajamas. His face is lit only by the glow of his laptop screen. He looks crazed, and it's not certain whether he actually looks like that, or that's just because of the lighting.]

Oh my god, guys, I just--I figured it out!

So, there were those pink lights in Vegas that we all saw, right? And pink lights mean something's alien-related. So alien-related stuff is showing up in Vegas, which is only like 200 miles from Tonopah Air Force Base, where the real alien testing was done during the Cold War when they were using Area 51 as a decoy!

Guys. This--this can't be a coincidence. Who knows how deep this goes. It might even go beyond the Locke police department, beyond Sherman and even Edwards. This could go as high up as the military--or the secret service, or the president himself!

I don't know what's going to happen next or what it all means just yet, but I know it's connected somehow.

Well...yeah? I'm pretty sure that's why anybody knows about it in the first place.

Ah, no, what I mean to say is - I do not think that such an occurrence could have been kept secret for so many decades. Many of the mysteries from that era have been tackled recently because of the improvement in our equipment.

[ENGLISH WHY SO DIFFICULT she's trying to say someone would have tracked the thing falling and figured shit out before now]

[He...thinks he gets what she's trying to say.]

I dunno, the military can keep a lot of stuff secret.

From its own people, perhaps, but it is nearly impossible to do so with the entire world's scientific community unless there are additional helpers.

[his eyes go wide as dinner plates.]

Maybe there are.

[n-no this is the opposite of what she wanted]

Who would even have such widespread authority so as to stifle hundreds of thousands of scientists and their instruments?

A secret organization of really rich guys who have enough money to do whatever they want?

[He says it like a question, with a tone of "doesn't everybody know this?"]

[NO EVERYBODY DOES NOT KNOW THIS]

That is a very bizarrely specific application of wealth and power, though.

I...guess? It doesn't sound much different from anything else, to me.

Are you saying that this is their...hobby?

[she really isn't sure that she understands anything anymore]

What? No. At least, I don't think so--I've never heard of any hobby like that before.

Well, I have never heard of a large group of wealthy people deciding to shroud the happenings in space for any reason.

[SHE'S JUST TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF ALL THIS]

To...do private taking-over-the-world kind of stuff?

[come on, Kara, this is the stuff of basic childhood picture books.]

But would it not be easier to simply go about such domination in the more standard ways? This seems rather complex and reliant on a great deal more people.

[THIS HAS GOT TO BE AN AMERICAN THING...]

But it's--well, it's like...

[He knows the reason why, but he can't quite put it into words. Give him a second to try and articulate it.]

Like, it's...easier because no one will know it's happening until it's too late! It's supposed to be really subtle.

[she frowns softly]

But there are many simpler ways to achieve the same results while being sneaky. What makes this method so very appealing?

Well...it's...uhhhh...

Okay, I--I don't know! I'm not some crazed millionaire trying to take over the world, I don't know why they'd do it. It's just--it's something they just do.

How strange! I had no idea that so many maniacal wealthy men had such an intense interest in the workings of space.

[the worst part is that she's not being facetious with that comment at all]

But it is no matter! If they are a problem, I am certain that we will be able to deal with them.

Maybe. At least, we've got a leg up on them--they probably don't even realize we know what they're up to!

I suppose that you are right! They will be quite surprised when they move to achieve something insidious and find we have already made it impossible!

[Kara strikes a silly action pose, but gets a little too into it - her hands flicker with starbolt energy for a brief moment before she notices and kills that shit]

Ah, my apologies.

[He's grinning, just a little, along all the excitement up until he spots the energy sparking in her hands.]

Whoa, whoa, wait, hang on--what was that just now?

Do not worry, it is nothing bad! It is simply something which happens when I feel certain emotions.

[she holds a hand up, summons a starbolt with a little more stability before dismissing it. see? nothing to worry about]

They are for throwing.

That's--I remember that. That's a ghost power. That's something ghosts can do.

I didn't know it was an emotion thing.

I am sorry?

[it's not exactly the most intelligent response ever, but Kara's dull stare makes it fairly clear that she's kind of hung up on the 'something ghosts can do' thing]

Ghosts. Ghosts have these, uh, specific powers that I remember--including green energy-thing hands that look just like what you had earlier.

Are you a ghost?

[oh my god danny you can't just ask people if they're dead]
