This looks a lot like it was made to hold...
The monolith! This machine was designed to control the portal. To open and close it at will.
Do you know that? Or is that just what you hope it to be?
Well there's only one way to find out.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
If the point of the machine was to resonate the room at a certain frequency; I can do that.
And you can replicate it?
Kind of drilled into my brain.
And it could kill you. How long to you think you could hold it?
Maybe a minute.
If it's too much, you pull back. I can't lose you too.
Skye, hey? Skye are you okay? Skye?
It's Daisy.
What?
It's Daisy now sir. You're really having a hard time with this huh?
Damn it, yeah.
You know why most people take psyche, right? They're trying to figure out families.
WVWerner von Strucker
You got me there. You wouldn't believe how messed up mine is.
Simmons didn't have to go through quarantine- which is good, all things considered.
What exactly are these things that we're considering?
Everything that comes with being on another planet for months.
Different atmosphere, different levels of oxygenation, different microgravity- every system in her body's out of whack. Cardiovascular, inner ear, respiratorial, got used to being... not here.
Daisy, I need you to monitor all law-enforcement activity near Lincoln's last known location.
How 'bout we take a team and go look for him ourselves-
No. The A.T.C.U.'s on a witch hunt for powered people.
I'm not afraid of them.
No, but they're terrified of you. Which makes them dangerous. Until we know where he is, you're not going out there.
[annoyed] Permission to speak freely?
[smiles] Do I have a choice?
I could've talked him in, if you didn't put an unsolicited tracker under his skin.
If you didn't call to alert him, then-
Why wasn't I told?
We thought you were a little close to the situation.
[angrily] Of course I'm close to the situation! You asked me to assemble a team, and I accepted. I didn't expect to be undermined-
[curtly] You know what I didn't expect? A global outbreak, the A.T.C.U., their Inhuman manhunt. I didn't see all that coming, to be honest. I wanted to assemble a team, to get ahead of the problem, but that didn't happen. So, Daisy? [looks pointedly at her]
I'll scan law-enforcement channels.
Thank you.
So, you trust Spud?
[tsks] Trust is a strong word, for a psychopath. He's a murderous thief who I once saw bite a man's nose clean off. But, he'll get us through the door. [pause] You'll find this funny. Back at H.Q., we've got a little wager going- on what happened between you and the good doctor. [May reaches for a knuckle-duster] My guess is? You walked away. Not in a huff or anything, just couldn't stand the constant talking, sharing-
It's true, I don't like a lot of talking. [slaps her brass-knuckled fist into her palm] This fight? It's our way to Ward, so if you're gonna do this, you need to win.
You suggesting I can't win?
I'm not saying you can't- but, I know I can.
Spud runs with a type. And, if that type sees some small, Asian woman destroy a wannabe Hydra thug in a bare-knuckle brawl, that type will talk. And word might spread up the ranks.
... I see your point. [drops the knuckle-duster]
[smiles] You're just anxious to bash some heads after being out of the game. [pause] Look, I've rarely lost a fight, when I'm sober- which, I plan on being. And, I can take a punch, so worst case I'll do that 'till the other guy tires out. [May stares at him for a moment]
So... how much do you have riding on this bet that I left Andrew?
A significant sum.
[nods, smiles] Well... you lost it.
[to the three huge Hydra recruits she just decked] How 'bout I do you a favor, and not tell anyone... that a tiny little Asian woman kicked your ass.
RPRosalind Price
[on Lincoln] He's extremely dangerous-
He wouldn't be, in our custody.
We're not going to harvest him for parts, if that's what you're worried about. We're not Hydra.
You say that now. What's so important about him?
Are you serious? He could bring down a plane. Feels like a man worth talking to-
I have another theory: the President makes a big speech about this new organization he's put into place. I imagine that puts a lot of pressure onto you. [Price looks away] Pressure to show results.
[turns towards him]... You're not wrong. And that's why I'm taking him in. [glances out at the sea] But why are we here, Phil? We waiting to watch the sunset together? 'Cause if you didn't come here to make a deal, then what do you want?
You have an ace up your sleeve, and I'm tired of waiting for you to play it.
Is that so?
We have surveillance from the hospital, which means there's another picture, you chose not to put on T.V.
[after finding her team, Mack and Daisy holding each other at gunpoint] Everybody, stand down! S.H.I.E.L.D.'s not the enemy, and you definitely don't wanna piss off the young Agent Johnson here. [indicates Daisy, who glares at her] We've got about nineteen Agent Johnsons on our side, though none that can take down a building. [Coulson appears at her side] Rosalind Price, by the way.
Coulson?
It's okay. The A.T.C.U. is here to help.
Really? 'Cause the other day, they wanted Daisy's head for their trophy case!
Agent Mackenzie.
Bit of an exaggeration- but, that was then, and this is now. And, right now, we're here to contain a threat, same as you. Fan out! [she and her team move out]
[angrily to Coulson] I get that you cut a deal with them, but for the record-
It's a means to an end.
[sharply] Ours, or theirs?
I think the conspiracy nut in you had a few too many lattes this morning.
I did have a latte. It was a double.
Where are you taking the victims?
That's classified. Oh, it's not fun when it's you, right? Can't believe I just said that to the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
You know, I'm really not feeling the spirit of cooperation here.
I know you're looking for signs of PTSD, but I assure you I'm fine.
You've been through something pretty extreme. There will be after-effects, and that's okay. It's okay to struggle.
Mr. Frye, we can help you, but you have to trust me. This Lash is not some angel of mercy.
DFDwight Frye
No, he's no angel. He's just a guy trying to do the right thing.
Next time you have doubts about whether someone is real, ask them to hit you.
WDWill Daniels
I'll keep that in mind.
