In the space station, the aliens were in conference.
**There can't be any doubt but that she's dead,** Forential projected.
**Your Walt is a good one,** Lycan thought. **Best mutant on the ship.**

**It was nothing,** Forential told them.
**I feel infinitely better, now that she's out of the way,** the Elder commented.
**We'll strike with the main force a day before we planned to,** Lycan told them. **That's best all around. We expect most trouble from the American Air Force. It will be least alert on a Sunday morning.**
