Michelle Osgood is dying of a heart ailment and needs an artificial heart t ransplant, but that requires some tiranium metal for it to work properly. Her husband, Patrick Osgood is the chief engineer in charge of the search in The Catacombs underneath Alpha. He, however, has been seeing visions of fire, which he interprets as Alpha's destruction. Stressed on multiple fronts, he reacts poorly, lashing out at friends and others, getting himself injured, donning an explosives vest to get a weak Michelle out of Medical Center to "safety" in The Catacombs, where they are tracked down. Finally, Helena persuades a reluctant Tony to release a little of Alpha's critical store of tiranium, an artificial heart ends up finally working, and she has life-saving surgery.

She transforms into a dog and bites Pat; he gets away, bloodied, later collapsing in the Solarium(?).

Comments

There is a firestorm of sorts, partially verifying Patrick's visions, but only to a point. He saw (or interpreted) much worse results than actually occurred, though there was nonetheless damage to Alpha. However, his exaggerated responses frequently put others in danger, including his best(?) friend and especially his wife (creating more stress in her, prompting her into more physical activity while she was weak, and exposing her to further dangers in The Catacombs). After this episode, how much responsibility might he be granted in the future?
