Discovery:

Jian comes across footage of Daitan going into Dot’s room and taking her medication, as well as taking Jian’s gas mask from his room.

Daitan walks through the door.

Jian: Where have you been?

Daitan: Nowhere. I just… needed to get some air.

Jian: Right. Care to explain this? (he gestures at the paused image of Daitan on the screen). I thought you said you had no idea how Dot’s medication or my mask ended up in your room.

Daitan: I don’t… it’s hard to explain. Can we talk about this in the morning? (she starts to go towards her room).

Jian: (Incredulously) I just found footage of you clearly lying to all of us and you want to talk about this in the morning?

Daitan: Jian, please…

Jian notices how disoriented and restless Daitan is.

Jian: Why do you have your hands behind your back?

Daitan closes her eyes and takes a deep breath in.

Daitan: I… killed someone.

Tension:

Jian: We decided it would probably be best if you stay at the base while we take care of it.

Dot: Considerin’ what’s been goin’ on with you lately, we figured it would make the most sense. Don’t take it personal darlin’, we just want to keep you safe.

Daitan: (disbelief) You want to keep me safe? It sounds more as though you don’t want me with you.

Dot: It’s not that, honest. A lot of weird stuff’s just been happenin’ lately, and we want to try and minimise that.

Daitan: I can’t believe this. (she turns around and puts her hands on her hips)

Jian: Dai, be reasonable. We’re not trying to gang up on you, we just think that this-

Daitan: Oh really?

Jian: Really. We don’t know what other solution there is right now. What happened on the last mission… we… I just don’t want it to happen again. I’m worried about you.

Daitan: And you think leaving me here is going to help how exactly? (she crosses her arms)

A few seconds of silence go by.

Frankie: (Quietly) We think this is the most fair solution. This mission is important, we do not want you to… 

Daitan: Compromise it?

Frankie: I did not say that…

Daitan: You didn’t need to.
