Unfortunately Lee’s father (Commander Lucas) shows up in the wrong moment. Neri wonders what kissing is like and tries it on Damien. Lucky bastard. Episode 10 ---------- The transmitter Jason put on Charley breaks down, and Dianne goes out to put on a new one. She attracts Charlie using the recordings of whale-song. Dianne runs out of oxygen but gets rescued by Neri. That way she is introduced to Winston and Dianne. Neri also helps Dianne put on the new transmitter. Episode 11 ---------- Neri again comes to visit ORCA. She agrees to undergo some tests for Dianne. Jason thinks Dianne treats Neri like a science project, not a human. (but she isn’t human so…) Jason and Brett also manages to get Commander Lucas to give Neri an ID. Someone also breaks into Dianne’s lab and steal some of her tapes with whale-song recordings. Episode 12 ---------- Using HELEN they find out who stole the tapes. It’s a guy working for UBRI, the competitive company. It is led by Dr. Hellegren who also wants to be able to talk to whales. His men manages to trap Charley in a bay using an electric fence. (how come the electricity doesn’t just go out in the water?). The stolen whale-recordings was used to lure him into the bay. Dianne also does some more experiments on Neri (and Jason still doesn’t like it, probably because she spends more time with his mother than him) and finds out she has ESP-capabilities. She is able to see things blindfolded. There is also a dance on ORCA which Neri goes to. (wow, she’s great looking in that dress) During the evening she hears Charley call for her and sees with her ESP that he is trapped. She leaves the dance to go find him. Episode 13 ---------- Jason and Brett tells the other kids at ORCA about who Neri really is. This is so they can help with rescueing Charley from the clutches of UBRI. They suceed and Neri and Charley leave to go on migration like whales does every year.
