Without warning, Pasc lashes out, his powerful blow connecting with Johnson's head. Carter sounds the alarm before the homicidal alien grabs him by the throat. In the scuffle, the bandage is torn from Pasc's head and Carter sees the symbol. Etrec tries to stop his father, but Pasc one-handedly chokes Carter while simultaneously pummeling him. Carter goes limp and Etrec believes him killed. The aliens depart seconds before Verdeschi and a Security squad arrive. Carter comes to, but the critically injured Johnson requires medical care.
