Synopsis

Aboard the "Coach" Coulson receives instructions to proceed "to the Slingshot" moments earlier an explosion rips a pigsty in the Globemaster's hull. A man is sucked out of the plane in flight, and Coulson clings to the interior. 19 hours earlier, Skye empties her van at an airfield outside the Globemaster equally agents prep the plane for takeoff. Amanuensis Ward insists that the hacker is "not qualified to be a South.H.I.Eastward.L.D. agent." Coulson counters that Skye will serve as a consultant specifically considering she doesn't think like an agent, despite Agent May'south statement that the girl is non cleared for combat. Simmons and Fitz awkwardly greet Skye and requite her a brusk bout of the plane earlier Ward delivers an emergency procedures pamphlet. Coulson then explains that the team is headed to Peru to investigate a reported "oh-viii-4," which he describes equally an "object of unknown origin." May pilots the Globemaster to an unpaved airfield in Peru. The squad heads to an Incan archaeological site in Llactapata, where Ward and May increase the security of the area while Simmons and Fitz discover a massive Incan temple. Skye offers to warn nearby residents, only Coulson instructs her non to publicize the discovery in club to keep the investigation "quiet and contained."

Coulson then meets with an archaeologist, who leads the agent into the 500-yr-old temple to show him an "impossible" object that was discovered among pre-Incan artefacts. Fitz deploys his battalion of quadcopter modules, and Coulson orders the archaeologist to evacuate his team; Simmons determines that the artefact is more than 1500 years former, though Fitz suggests that the craftsmanship appears German. Exterior, Ward joins May in patrolling the temple, and the two speedily spot and disarm a group of soldiers before a platoon surrounds them. Outside the temple, the soldiers' commander approaches Ward.

He introduces Reyes to Ward and May, and reminds Reyes that "an oh-eight-four supersedes all national claims."

In the temple, Fitz determines that the artefact is "alive" with a "functioning power source" and shifting "temporal matches," while Simmons discovers radionuclide's that "don't match any known isotope." Ward arrives to inform them that the National Police are outside, and urges them to complete their jobs. Outside, Coulson and Reyes discuss the possibility of turning the artefact over to the Peruvian regime moments before the camp is attacked past Shining Path rebels. In the temple, Simmons and Fitz quickly pack upwards their equipment as Ward pries the artefacts out of the wall and stows it in a duffel bag before the team evacuates. Outside, Coulson and Reyes navigate through a fire fight toward Reyes' truck as rebels pin down Ward, Skye, Simmons and Fitz at the temple entrance.

Coulson and Reyes then make for Reyes truck every bit May arrives in the MDX to extricate Ward, Skye, Simmons and Fitz. The 2 vehicles are pursued by rebels, but manage to board the Globemaster and escape.

In a lab, Fitz, Ward, and Simmons debate over the handling of the artefact.
