The Dying Fields
The image of a peaceful, Garden of Eden world is shattered when the Sliders find the skeleton of a human, a gaping hole in the chest and the right hand missing. A noise in the bushes causes them to hide, and they soon see another man being pursued by two Hu-Maggs -- part human, part Kromagg. Kyra, the female Hu-Magg, blasts the running man. Kryoptus, the male Hu-Magg, argues that the kill was his, but Kyra tallies it as her own. She refuses to take the eyes, however, saying she has not developed a taste for them. After they leave, the Sliders examine the body, with Colin discovering the man's army knife. They soon come upon a firing range but take cover when a Humvee passes by, carrying General Kronos. Ever fearful of Kromaggs, Rembrandt is in favor of killing him. When they spy a rifle protruding from a doorway, they react quickly. They capture Jenny, who tells them she and six other humans were forced into this "game." If they survive twenty days, the Kromaggs will let them go; she is on day eighteen.
