Episode Log

• The episode/mini-series starts with the Agents being shown a video of a man (Billy Ray Spivey) robbing a convenience store and brutally killing the clerk. Sanity rolls for all, right from the get go. Because losing our minds is apparently part of the onboarding process.

• The date: 10 Sept 1996

• Key Facts of Note From the Briefing:

  • • Billy Ray Spivey disappeared from his parents' home in Groversville, eleven days ago and returned home nine days ago.

    • He returned confused without any knowledge of what had happened. 

    • He was ill and in a great deal of pain.

    • He was taken to a doctor who only found that Spivey was in unexplainable pain, had a huge appetite, no bowl movements, and wasn't urinating.

    • Seven days ago upon having a fit, his father attempted to hold him down and quiet him. Spivey reacted by punching through his father's chest and took off towards town.

    • In Groversville, he robbed the Sinclair Gas & Go of $65, several packages of pain reliever, and the cashier's car. Then sped off down Highway 135. 

    • The cashier reported that Spivey had no gun and instead smashed the counter with his bare hands.

    • Spivey took off to Alabama and Georgia where he robbed gas stations of money, food, and painkillers.

    • Those who encountered him said he was maniac and aloof with no sense of what he was doing.

    • After the occurrence in Alabama, the footage that was shown, FBI Special Agent Derringer took an interest and realized something serious was amiss.

    • Then at a roadblock in Georgia, Spivey was shot four times after he bent a trooper's riot gun in half.

    • The four bullets were barely enough to drop him, and he was taken in, drugged, and examined.

    • Analysis showed that muscles in his legs and arms had been replaced with a strange tissue that mimics human muscle but possesses non-human traits.

    • With this, he exhibits tremendous strength but his skeletal system is unchanged. While Spivey could easily pick up a car, it would ultimately crush him if he tried to hold it.

    • Further examination revealed scars suggesting extensive surgery all over his legs and arms.

    • These incisions are not readily visible to the naked-eye because they seem to have been sealed with the same non-human material that replaced his muscle tissue.

• Also revealed was how Groversville has recently become a hotbed of UFO activity. These reports by residents have been covered skeptically by local media and scornfully by everyone else.

• When entering the room where Spivey is kept, Agents Kala and Joe notice the extreme amount at which Spivey is drugged. They saw how his eyes were so glassy that he looked like a poorly rendered texture.

• The bullet holes could be seen in his clothes, two in the left arm and two in the right leg, with no visible marks on his body. Although blood could also be seen on his clothes, confirming he was shot. So the forensics report will just say: 'bullet-shaped nothingness'.

• Besides that, Spivey has normal biometrics and a tox report that only shows vast amounts of painkillers. Enough pain relievers to either kill a horse or cure a generational migraine.

• Derringer wants the agents to travel to Groversville under the cover of FBI agents investigating a fictitious drug ring connected to Spivey. Let's just hope there isn't a real drug ring at work.

• Lodging will be at Merle's Shut-Eye, and Sylvia accepts a Sat-Phone from Derringer as a means to contact him. Although he'll probably deny knowing us if we call needing his help.

• Groversville is a in Grover County, a rural county in central Tennessee. As the county seat, Groversville is more modern than surrounding towns having experienced greater prosperity than it's neighbors. Probably easy to determine where all the county tax money goes...

• The team meets with Sheriff Dan Oakley and Kala and Yarnman attempt to explain the drug connection in their cover story. The sheriff mostly blows them off and wishes them good luck. Kind of surprise he didn't also tell us to not let the door hit us on our way out.

• At the Sinclair Gas & Go, Yarnman picks the lock despite Kala's objections. He does have federal badge and lockpicking set, so once inside who will care?

• The Agents don't find much though, and Kala nabs the surveillance camera footage while Yarnman lifts two bottles of soda and a candy bar. This is justified as localized, tactical asset redistribution per the Agent's Handbook.

• At the morgue, not much else is revealed. At this point our Agents investigation has gotten off to a rocky start. It seems the paperwork will be far scarier than what happened to Billy Ray.

• Time for dinner where Sarah Stuart and Ironwood each scarf down a gigantic plate of Pepper Stake and earn themselves recognition on the Wall of Fame. Yarnman does them a solid by grabbing their pictures off the wall, but gets noticed by another restaurant patron who shrugs it off and ignores it. Only if Yarnman could cast an "un-see" spell, that would be great.

• At the hotel, there are only two other guests staying there under the names: Scott Adams & Scott Adams Equipment Storage. Scott Adams, as it turns out, is the editor of the salacious newsletter called "Watch the Skies" which recounts tails of UFOs. Tin-foil hat anyone?

• So our Agents are all checked in, have their room keys, and walk out of the hotel office...see you next time.
