Allison Blake: Very funny, Carter.
Jack Carter: Not funny. Can’t move.
Dr. Jane Harrington: Easy, sheriff. Just relax and breathe. It’ll pass in a minute.
Jack Carter: Okay.
Allison Blake: What happened?
Dr. Jane Harrington: Cephalic pattern security barrier—a sensor intensive gateway that registers identity based on DNA.
Jack Carter: Not helping.
Dr. Jane Harrington: If someone enters without proper clearance, it initiates a light-based immobilization field.
Allison Blake: I thought you worked these bugs out months ago.
Dr. Jane Harrington: I did, but the sheriff must not be in the system yet. Did you get the registration notice I sent to your office?
Jack Carter: Jo opens all the mail. She—she’s so mean.
Dr. Jane Harrington: This will last for the day. But I’ll need a DNA sample for permanent clearance. Don’t forget.
Jack Carter: Oh, I’ll do my best.
