when I say things like that to you. You know I don’t mean nothing.”
    “You say that now, but I saw you rip out Bobo’s spine.”
    “He was a wise guy, plus I found out he was sleeping with my wife.”
    Stace made a mental note to stop sleeping with his friend’s wife. “Anyways, I’m almost there.”
    “Good, Macnair has been driving me crazy about this.”
    “Got it. Call him and let him know I’m in.”
    “About time, I was just getting ready to inspire you to work faster by hitting your foot with this hammer.”
    “That’s it, I can’t work like this any longer. I’m gonna talk with the boss about moving to a different crew.”
    “Just ignore it, will you! I’m under a lot of stress.” Bret called Macnair. “Hi boss, ya, we’re in the ICC.”
    “Great,” said Macnair, “come on up to my office, I’ve got a little more work for you to do.”
    A few minutes later, Stace and Bret were in Macnair’s office. “I want you guys to go on a short trip and bring Jon back here.” The office door opened and Macnair nodded to the person entering the room. “I’m putting Hal in charge of this operation and I want you guys to do whatever he says. Understand?”
    “Sure thing, boss,” came their response.
    “Great,” said Macnair. "Stace, you’ve been looking at this, what’ve you got?”
    “Not much, boss. Can’t get any plans or layout of the place. I'm not sure of its defenses, other than they’re state-of-the-art. I've hacked into their system and got a little that will get us there, but then we’re on our own."
    "Looks like we’re going to be free-wheeling this operation,” said Hal.
    “Okay, I understand,” said Mcnair. “If you can, you bring Jon back. If he stays, he stays there dead. Clear?”
    Hal, Bret and Stace moved off into another room to continue their planning. “You’re sure you’ve got the correct teleport codes?” Hal asked.
    “Near as I can tell,” said Stace. “I got pretty deep into the system. I found a program that gave bogus codes putting you outside the building if the requestor didn’t pass the security check so I think we got the goods.”
    “Any luck disabling the teleport’s weapons protocol?” asked Hal.
    “None at all,” said Stace. “I couldn’t find anything. I’m starting to think it’s hardwired into the system. It’ll just be us and our clothes going through. Nothing the ICC would consider a weapon will make it.”
    "Will you be able to access the ICC computer once we get there?” asked Hal.
    "Yes," said Stace. "I'll be able to connect in through my implant system." As a tech guy, Stace's implant system contained some very sophisticated network hacking programs as well as remote access capability and he had already installed a virus inside the ICC that would allow him to connect up once they arrive.
    “What about the master program?”
    “Still about 90% intact,” said Stace. “It found me out quick enough and locked down. I disabled outbound communications, teleport functionality and got it to dump a lot of info. I just need some time now to sort it all out.”
    “Okay, get to it.”
     
     
    “Gilbert, I’m detecting an unauthorized incoming teleport signal.”
    “Any way to put them outside?” Gilbert asked hopefully.
    “Sorry, Gil, but no,” came Ellie’s response. “They’re coming in on approved codes, best I can do is a holding cell.”
    “Okay, I’ll meet you there.” As well as studying a bit about the universe and its technology over the past few hours and getting some sleep, Gilbert had memorized the ICC’s layout and received a translation implant.
    Gilbert took his time getting to the holding cell. He smiled as he arrived, he had gotten to know this room well and now understood the stark room’s capabilities.
    Hal, Stace and Bret were there, behind an invisible force field making themselves as comfortable as possible.
    “That ain’t him,” said Bret as Gilbert entered the room. “You ain’t him, are
