"Infestation"

Episode 106 - Part 1
(aired the week of 11/2/1996)
Case # 33-130

Log line: While the O.S.I.R. team looks into the deaths of a team of NASA scientists in search of a landed meteorite, they come face-to-face with mutant giant flea-like insects.

Synopsis: A team of NASA scientists, out on a high-security military operation in search of a landed meteorite somewhere in the dense woods of the Ozark Mountains, are discovered dead. Federal authorities ask the O.S.I.R. to try and find out what happened.

The first clue comes during Dr. Anton Hendricksª examination of the victims, when he discovers what might be a giant insect pincer in one of the wounds. Then, when the O.S.I.R. locate and survey the meteor site, they are confounded by a nest of jumbo, unidentifiable eggs. Suddenly, sensors detect life forms in the seemingly-deserted area. Frantically, the investigators rush to pinpoint and ID the rapid, threatening movement...only to have two agents wind up brutally, mysteriously killed.

In the O.S.I.R. lab, Zoologist L.Q. Cooper watches one of the unidentifiable eggs hatch and analyzes it as a large, genetic cousin to the flea. After learning that fleas can grow 20 to 30 times their weight at birth - and females can produce thousands of eggs in less than a month - Case Manager Connor Doyle fears a colossal disaster.

Desperately attempting to discern if the creatures are mutations from the meteor, extraterrestrials or a subterranean life form, the O.S.I.R. ventures back to the site to look for additional information. Fears grow with the discovery of a dead adult version of the insect - proof the species is reproducing. Then, their fear explodes when the team comes face-to-face with a pack of living, full-grown and angry creatures. First, they need to survive and escape this bizarre confrontation...then figure out how to stop it.

"Human Apportation"

Episode 106 - Part 2
Case # 87-105

Log line: A mother and daughter believe they were at home in California one second and in a Canadian dormitory room the next; the O.S.I.R. try to determine whether their claim is true - and if so why.

Synopsis: Angela Corbeil and her daughter Sabine claim to have been at home in Eureka, California...and moments later, in a Toronto, Canada university dormitory room.

Launching an investigation, the O.S.I.R. confirms that someone with Angela's name does live in Eureka. Meanwhile, although she is unable to prove that the Corbeils used any normal transportation out of town, Investigator Lindsay Donner believes the woman might be attempting to attract public attention by concocting the seemingly-incredible story.

Learning that Angela has a sister, Mary, Donner travels to Eureka to meet with her - only to find Mary is equally baffled about the alleged incident. Angela, under hypnosis by Dr. Anton Hendricks, does offer another clue: the last things she remembers before appearing in the dorm room was a light breeze, then a bright light in her living room.

With no evidence after two weeksª work, Case Manager Connor Doyle determines there are no other avenues to explore and ends the O.S.I.R.ªs study. For two months, the organization maintains occasional contact with Angela. But, suddenly, she fails to return their calls. Concerned, the O.S.I.R. goes to the Corbeil home. What they see shocks them...and makes them think that perhaps this case was closed too soon.
