Æon Flux (1991)
S03E08 Ether Drift Theory
Episode Overview
Æon and her close friend and fellow agent Lindze sneak into a hidden facility known as the Habitat, a sanctuary for mutants and artificial beings, surrounded by a paralyzing liquid that immobilizes any living creature that comes into contact with it. Their mission is twofold: to rescue Lindze's boyfriend and to obliterate the base. Shortly after they arrive, Trevor and one of his human experiments appear, demolishing Æon's ship in the chaos. However, the experiment is quickly taken down by a swarm of metal-sensitive wasps. Meanwhile, Lindze's partner, a scientist named Bargeld, is suffering from a man-made illness and may have discovered a method to alter the paralyzing fluid’s properties.
