Underground bunker, Griseran forest, Forvirretia, Planet Dehzahk:
'Hey Greg! Come over here! Look who's here to visit us!'
Gregory caught the scent immediately and ran straight to the visitor, licked him all over the face till its tongue dried.
'Oh, Gregory ! Stop now, will you?'
'So what happened, Geoff? Did you find them? I sure did. Look, my Dad and brother are coming here.'
A tall man with greyish silver eyes and blond hair and a rather too short guy with dark black eyes and feathery salt and pepper hair were approaching the bunker.
'The short one's my father and the tall one's my brother. Don't cringe, please?'
'Nah, brother. I won't.', smirked Fred. 'Feel free to show them around while I go out for hunting. I'll leave Gregory behind.'
NASA, USA, Planet Earth:
Rivermont was shouting at everyone around. 'What is the damn problem? Why is it not working?'
'It seems that both the NSA and our man in Alien Planet don't want to communicate with us, chief. They've cut off the communications from their side.'
'Gott verdammt Stefan. What are you doing behind my back?'
Elppa temple, borders of Griseran forest, Raeffonoz, Planet Dehzahk:
'But sir, why the Albert module? What are you trying?'
'Turn off communications.'
'But si-'
'Do as I said, Skarr.'
'What if Mr. Rivermont finds out?'
'Try as he may, he can't come here.'
'So we're leaving Dehzahk?'
'Turn off the communications, will you?'
'Okay, sir. Done.'
'And did you launch the module or not?'
'I did, sir.'
NSA, USA, Planet Earth:
Thomas entered the CEO's cabin. 'Hey Stef, rise the walls.' Stefan pressed a button and the room was now only for the two. None could peek in. None could listen.
'Brother, listen.'
'Okay, so you're going to tell me some high level crap now, aren't you?'
'Our link to NASA is down as we planned.'
'As we planned. We planned. PLANNED.'
'But before it came down completely, someone had messaged our plan to Rivermont.'
'What?'
'And now he's headed here.'
'Oh, wow.'
'With the POTUS.'
'Oh, great.'
'What?'
'I just said that whatever is happening now is great, Thomas.'
'Are you out of your damn mind?'
'It seems that way.'
Underground bunker, Griseran forest, Forvirretia, Planet Dehzahk:
Five thirty two in the evening. Fred returned to his bunker. He met Geoffrey and waved.
'Where's Gregory, mate?'
'Now don't get mad at me…'
'What happened?'
'I've been searching for Gregory for the past two hours as well.'
'Okay, what?'
'And he's not here.'
'What do you mean he's not here?'
'He's missing.'
'Geoffrey, you are talking about Gregory. My Gregory. Where is he?'
'I'm sorry, mate. I woke up from a quick nap and he wasn't here. Gregory is missing, Freddy.'
