Episode 3: Dance

"Dance" is the third episode of the Project Infinity web series.

Plot Summary
A battle in the air above Acland Academy between the Rebels and Octavia Hillgarth continues on. Elise Davenport, Lars Davenport, and Josephine Acland pilot Fighter Bots and attempt to overpower Octavia. However, they are quickly overpowered by Octavia. Gun Lambton suddenly disobeys Morris and goes to assist the others in battle. He flies a Fighter into the sky and confronts Octavia. He demands she tell him Val's whereabouts. Irritated, Octavia dodges Gun's attacks by flying extremely high near the edge of space. At the Union headquarters, Blythe reports the situation to Val and asks if she should send reinforcements. For some reason, Val votes no for the time being. Gun follows her and rams her Fighter with great force. This renders her Fighter inoperable, and she calls for Blythe's assistance. Gun tries getting information from Octavia, but the other Rebels pull him away from the battle to avoid increased danger.

Back on the Adonais and quickly flying to a new location, Gun expresses great anger towards Morris for stopping him. Morris calls Gun's actions reckless and says he could've gotten the entire team killed. He acknowledges Gun's skills in a Fighter Bot but asks him to promise he will never behave that way again. Gun nods.

At the Union headquarters in Royal City, Octavia admits her failure to Val. Moselle proposes the possibility that the Rebels could be students from Acland Academy. Harrison is insulted and resistant to the idea. Val asks Octavia if Gun Lambton was truly the one to battle with her, and she confirms he was flying the Union Fighter reported missing from the camp.

On the Adonais, Josephine privately talks with Gun. He expresses his frustration with Morris and the way he wants to take things slowly. Gun reminds her he's waited his whole life to find Val and avenge his mother. Josephine reminds Gun this won't bring his mother back, but Gun says he can take Val's life just like he took his mother's life. Josephine hugs Gun as he cries.

The next day at Acland Academy, the students are chattering about the recent battle above the school. Lettie says the news claimed it was all a test. Conner holds up a flier and announces a school dance will be held. He also says he would be thrilled if Violet would be his date. Violet openly shows her dislike for him. Gun agrees to be Lettie's date to the dance.

That evening, Gun makes a group call to the other Rebels on his laptop. Gun proposes a plan to utilize the school dance to their advantage. Violet will go to the dance with Conner and use her charms to swap his L.I.A. earpiece with an ordinary one. Obtaining an earpiece is something the Rebels have been trying to do for quite some time. Josephine takes a moment to display her disapproval of Gun going to the dance with Lettie.

Harrison discusses the Rebel situation with Conner on the campus at night. He asks Conner to keep a watch on his fellow students in the event the Rebels could be his fellow classmates. He also instructs Conner to kill them if he finds anyone to be a Rebel. When Conner shows uncertainty, Harrison slaps him.

At the maximum containment facility, Princess Annabelle talks about the history of the Kingdom of Earth and how the Union overthrew it. She contrasts the Kingdom's desire to embrace people's differences as opposed the Union forcing everyone to follow one path.

On their way to the dance, Violet asks Josephine if she likes Gun. Josephine dismisses the idea.

During the dance, Violet successfully steals Conner's earpiece by combing her fingers through his hair and changing the devices while picking it up off the ground. Josephine, overwhelmed by the event and Gun's date Lettie Dale, goes inside the restroom to give Morris an update. After she hangs up, she looks into the mirror and feels she is as bad as Val himself. At that moment, Octavia enters the room.
