Gamma Level: Radioactive

Dianne demands that a tribunal hearing be convened to stop UBRI's development project but Dr. Hellegren argues that there is no connection between the earthquake and UBRI's explosions. Lena locates another piece of the Synchronium and Brett and Cass are sent to Neri's island to get Kal to pinpoint its location. Venturing inland to retrieve the piece, Neri, Brett and Cass encounter a farm family with a blind daughter. Discovering the Synchronium capsule to be empty, the trio are surprised to find that the Synchronium piece is a prized possession of the daughter, Patti. After spending time with Neri, Patti gives her the Synchronium. Encountering her father on ORCA, Lena threatens to go public with his work if he makes life difficult for her on the station. Dianne is upset to discover that canisters of radioactive material are being stored in the school section of ORCA. When a tremor strikes, the canisters break open threatening Benny who is alone in the otherwise deserted computer lab. Jason goes against regulations to rescue him and afterward is praised by Commander Wellington who chastises Morgan for her strictly "by-the-books" response to the emergency.
