Go To

After bringing aboard a dying Perseid, Harper inexplicably becomes hyper-intelligent thanks to a massive library database. This draws the attention of a bounty hunter, who will stop at nothing to get what the Perseid tried to save.


  • Bilingual Bonus: The bounty hunter is named Jeger. "Jäger" is German for "hunter."
  • I Want My Mommy!: Harper. Or rather, "I want my Rommie!"
  • My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels: Harper begins and ends the episode with sayings that he completely butchers.
    Seamus Harper: Well, you know the old Vedran proverb. Bulshar vedrix vel nev lun.
    Rev Bem: Ah, yes. A fast swimmer keeps no pets.
    Seamus Harper: No, that's not what I said. A wise man knows his limitations.
    Rev Bem: Close enough.
  • Myth Arc: Dylan and the others see footage from the Fall of Brandenburg Tor, including a shadowy humanoid figure that directed the attack. Dylan remarks "I guess our mystery man wants to stay a mystery."
  • Omniglot: Harper goes in and out of numerous human and alien languages effortlessly, speaking everything from Gaelic, French, Spanish, and German to Perseid and Vedran. He even says something insulting in Magog, that causes Rev Bem to nearly kill him.
  • Survival Mantra: "My pain belongs to the Divine. It is like air, it is like water."
  • You Do Not Want To Know: Jeger's response when Dylan demands to know who he's working for.
