"Season 1, Episode 18:" ""Prisoner of Sinestro"" "Moving on." "Green Lantern combat protocol review question 33..." "Seriously?" "This is the longest pop quiz in history." "All right, according to the manual, what's the count on operational command fail safes?" " Uh, 11?" " 12." "Very close." "Unfortunately, "close" only counts in Altaverox ring toss." "Don't we have an app that does this boring stuff for us?" "Going up against the Anti-Monitor, Jordan, we do things by the book!" "Razer, I am glad that you have returned to the ship." "That is, I am pleased that you completed your task on Odom." "On the contrary." "The Blue Lanterns were unable to help me purge rage from my heart." "It changed nothing." "Perhaps that is for the best." "I..." "All of us prefer you to remain unchanged." "Perhaps I can help you in your scans for the Anti-Monitor." "No." "I will work more efficiently alone." "I have a communication from Green Lantern 1417." "1417?" "Ok!" "Finally, a call I want to take." " Sinestro?" "Oh, great." " Sinestro..." "Is he some great warrior?" "He's a legend in the core; one of the most decorated Green Lanterns ever." "In the battle of Kund, he took out 10 platoons solo." "After messing up the battle plan." "He's an undisciplined hothead who bends the rules to whatever he needs them to be that day." "Like I said, awesome." "And taught me loads of useful tricks." "That's part of your problem." "Aya, put Mr. Thal Sinestro on the big screen." "Jordan..." "Fancy running into you here." "Hello, Sinestro." "How can we help?" "I have taken custody of a fugitive from these repulsive Spider Guild beings." "Yeah, we've met." "Let me guess:" "The Guild objected to you taking their prisoner." "Evidently." "At any rate, I wouldn't be entirely opposed to having you chauffeur me to Oa on that luxury liner of yours." "Not that we're not honored, but what's the catch?" "I am temporarily trapped aboard their frigate." "Meet me by the starboard tower." "Get in close, and don't dawdle, Jordan." "I'm on it." "Incoming message from the Spider Guild frigate." "Green Lanterns, your fellow Core member has illegally seized one of our captains." "Do not assist him, or we will interpret your actions as hostile." "Or, how about you give us our Core member back, or we'll interpret your actions as not so nice?" "You're making a grave mistake." "Attention passengers, please remain seated while the fasten seatbelt sign is on." "Shields down to 40%." "Sinestro, I hate to rush you..." "Don't get hysterical, Jordan, I'm almost there." "You think you've done something heroic freeing Neuraxis?" "You don't know what he's capable..." "There is a task I must attend to." "What was that about?" "!" "Warning." "The Spider Guild ship has activated its self-destruct sequence." "Its engines are about to go critical." " Green Lantern Sinestro, safely aboard." " Oh, joy." "That thing went up like a Varzan firework." "Why the heck did they go and punch their own ticket?" "Here's the Lantern who can answer that." " Sinestro, what happened out there?" " I haven't the slightest idea." "Who can fathom the arachnid mind?" "I'm more concerned with getting this living criminal" "Neuraxis safely into a science cell." "I managed to liberate some Spider Guild tech from our friends before I left." "I'd hardly call their primitive devices "tech"." "Sinestro, this is a Razer." "A Red Lantern who's on our side now." "You keep a Red Lantern mascot on the Guardian's most advanced prototype ship?" "Have I taught you nothing?" "He's done some very good work." "I can vouch for him." "And that's Aya, our ship's A.I." "Welcome aboard, Green Lantern Sinestro." "You require any refreshment?" "Leave it to you both to turn the fastest weapon in the Universe into some sort of day spa." "This ain't no day spa." "No one's getting soft here." "Let's get down to business." "What's the deal with Neuraxis here?" "The truth is, I'm not sure." "But he's a wanted criminal and I'm an obedient Green Lantern, so I'm taking him to Oa." ""Obedient Green Lantern"." "Good one." "Looks like it's asleep." "Guess little guy's tuckered out from all the excitement." "So, Sinestro, I was just telling everybody about the time that you stole my thunder at the Battle of Kund." "You remember that time in Or..." "Yes, great battle." "What memories." "Excuse me." "I must rest." "Guess taking over a Spider Guild frigate can take it out of anyone." "Heh." "Neuraxis is on the most wanted list, but there's almost no info." "What gives?" "Maybe it escaped from the buffet at the last Guardian formal dinner and they want payback." "Aya, what's going on?" "Someone or something has tampered with the power couplings." "Aah!" "Sinestro, what's wrong?" "Talk to me, buddy!" "Green Lantern Sinestro is damaging vital systems." " Sinestro, you're one of us." " That's what you think." "This is one of your greatest Green Lanterns?" "Anyone can have a bad day." "He's out." "Now what?" "Lock him in the science cell." "But get that ring off him first." "This is Thal Sinestro we're dealing with." "What's happening?" "What have you done?" " What... what's going on?" " Sorry, Thal." "Until we figured out what caused your freak out," "You'll stay in there with the fish." "You realize you tried to kill us?" "What?" "I did no such thing!" "You've all gone mad." "You might have caught a bug on the Spider Guild ship." "Literally." " You look like death warmed over." " I don't feel ill at all." "And I..." "I don't remember anything." "Well, don't worry." "We'll take you to Oa and get you all fixed up." "Maybe he's got the Valvian flu or something." "I heard it can cause mild hallucinations, you know?" " He tried to kill us." " So it's a bad case." "Aya, take that weapon and the rest of the Spider Guild tech and stash it in one of the storage spaces." "And lock it down." "Hello, Aya." "I did not expect that behavior from Green Lantern Sinestro." "I'm sure he'll get over it real soon." "But you..." "I'd rather talk about you." " You would?" "Why?" " You're vital to running this ship." "Plus, you look really great today." "I..." "I assembled myself the same way I always do." "Although I am experimenting with a new teflonian exterior glaze." "That's it." "I'm really liking the way you're put together." "Why are you examining my helmet?" "Is something wrong?" "Nothing's wrong." "I thought you'd like Some extra special attention from me." " I..." "I..." "Hal told me to get that Spider Guild weapon for him to examine." "I'll see you around, Aya." "Analyzing interaction." "Analyzing..." "The co-pilot commander control boards are shot." "They may be good for spare parts." "That can wait." "We only need one pilot with me here, right?" "Right..." "Let's reroute power to the sensor array couplings and we should be good to go." "Green Lanterns, I just had the strangest encounter with Razer." " Strange in what way?" " He was very..." "Friendly." " Oh." "Um, that's nothing to be worried or ashamed of." "You see, Aya, some carbon-based lifeforms have these things called hormones." "Did you receive the weapon Razer said you requested?" " I didn't ask for any weapon." " Some weird stuff going on around here." "You keep on the repairs." "Razer, what are you doing?" "Kilowog, get down here." "Jordan?" "Where are you?" "This better not be some kind of earth joke." "It is." "The joke is, I'm going to kill you." "Get it?" "Do not raise an alarm if you value our existence." "I must speak to you." "No one on this vessel is behaving predictably." "So someone else finally noticed." "It's that alien, Neuraxis." "He's what's called "a mind jumper"." "It's a being that can take over another's body at will." "Easy, Hal." "Maybe what Sinestro got is airborne." "Let's have Aya scan you with the med comm." "Nothing's wrong." "The entire crew has to go." "And we'll start with you." "What are you doing?" "!" "What is wrong with the two of you?" "!" "It's space madness." "We're losing our minds!" "No." "One of us is an alien assassin." "The only thing that explains what's going on around here is that Neuraxis is getting inside our heads..." "literally." "The trouble started when Sinestro brought him aboard." "You're not making any sense, Hal." "Actually, it's the only thing that makes sense." "That brain fish must be able to jump from body to body, somehow taking over the host." "So..." "Which one of us is it controlling now?" "Not me!" "You would hardly volunteer the information If you were possessed." "Hang on." "Neuraxis never attacked us with constructs." "When we became Lanterns, the Ring chose us." "But when we're under that goldfish's influence, we're not ourselves." "So the Ring doesn't function." "That explains the weapons." "And it means if you can make a construct, the alien isn't controlling you." "See?" "I'm..." "I'm good." "There." " Well, this is silly!" " Make a construct." "Prove that you can." "A... a construct?" "See, he won't make a construct." "He's the alien, Razer!" "Kill him!" "Settle down." " Now let's see you make a construct." " I already did." " He's the alien!" " Back off." "This is pointless." "The alien can just jump into each of us in sequence." "We have to make constructs at the same time." "I have a better idea." " How'd he get out?" " Never mind that." "The sound you're hearing is this room and the entire ship de-pressurizing." "I've only just pieced it all together." "I was briefed by the Guardians that Neuraxis was one of the most wanted assassins in the Universe," "But even they completely underestimated what he was capable of." "So did I." "It was Neuraxis that took over the Spider Guild captain and caused him to destroy his own ship." "Shortly after I came aboard the Interceptor, it took over my mind as well." "The victim doesn't remember what happens when under Neuraxis' power." "It'll do the same to everyone, picking us off one by one." "But do not fear." "I have an absolute test to see who the alien is inhabiting." "We purge the ship of oxygen." "The real Lanterns among us will be protected by our Power Rings' life support fields." "Neuraxis will not." "The criminal can't jump into Aya, so that means the only choice it will have is to go back to its own body in the science cell..." "The one room on the ship that will remain pressurized." "How can we be so sure Neuraxis isn't controlling you right now?" "Green Lantern Sinestro, we must re-pressurize the vessel." "No." "Neuraxis is still controlling him." "We must wait." "What if you're wrong, Sinestro?" "What if it won't leave?" "Criminals have a keen sense of preservation, Jordan." "What's it going to be, Neuraxis?" "If you want to live, the only pressurized space on the ship is in the science cell." "I give you my word as a Green Lantern, you will not be harmed." "Now go!" " We must re-pressurize the area now!" " Not yet." "Something the matter?" "Oh, wait..." "It seems I forgot I'd compromised this chamber's seal when I broke out." "There's no atmosphere in here, either." "It's difficult to mind jump when you're in a state of shock, isn't it?" "Razer, what is your status?" "I'll live." "But I feel how Kilowog looks." " Always with the smart mouth." " Where did Sinestro go?" "Justice is served." " What happened?" "I must have damaged the venting system when I escaped." "Criminal's body suffocated before his mind returned." "Thal..." "The Green Lantern code." "I didn't kill him, Jordan." "I simply didn't save him..." "In time." "A tragic accident." "Perhaps it's for the best." "You wouldn't want to take a chance on Neuraxis getting loose on Oa, would you?" "He has a point." "Let's get this ship moving and report back to Oa." "All your systems appear to be back online." "Did I do anything strange while under the influence of Neuraxis?" "Other than trying to kill your fellow Green Lanterns?" "Yes." "Did I..." "Harm you?" "I should have known you were not yourself." "Why?" "You expressed interest in spending time with me."
