TIET watched the display nervously as the technician adjusted the settings on the orbital satellite. Their group had successfully made it to the Sector City base and had found it to be enormous in comparison with what they had already seen under the rebel's control. Tiet had not been able to reach his son or Emil through their collar pins and he was terribly worried.
"I think I've patched into the Maxus uplink," said a rebel technician. "I should be able to get a live feed of the city now."
Seismic disruptions had been picked up from the sensors throughout the city and were all available through their base computer systems.
"There!" said Alec as the image zeroed in on a commotion in the city.
Relief and panic hit Tiet all at the same time as he saw two young men in Castillian uniforms leaping from rooftop to rooftop, but they had heavy pursuit.
"What are those things?!" said Tiet.
"Aerogores," said Alec. "They're very deadly flying versions of the larger teragores."
"We've got to get the boys out of there fast."
"What about a transgate portal?" asked Wynn.
"I've got something better," said Alec. "You could use one of our recall transmitters-you can teleport in utilizing a localized gate and then once you've got a hold of them, hit the recall and it will bring you directly back here."
"I'll go," said Wynn quickly.
"No offense, but you'll never catch the boys on foot, Wynn," said Tiet.
"Well, you're still suffering from your injuries," he countered.
"To get them back, I'll weather a little discomfort."
"I'm in too," said Grod, walking into the room.
They smiled; glad to see their old friend had arrived safely at the base.
"Then let's go."
