Tuesday, April 10, 12:02 a.m. local time, London.

"Call stand down," Scott instructed.

Christopher took a deep breath and said into his mike, "Base, Thunderbirds Two and Seven from Mobile Control. Stand down operations at zero-zero-zero-two hours, local time."

"F-A-B, Mobile Control." "Mobile Control from base, F-A-B on stand down." "Mobile Control from Two, F-A-B." The three acknowledgments were followed by Virgil's adding, "Heading back to base. ETA, 15:00 hours base time. See you there."

"F-A-B, Thunderbird Two. Mobile Control out." Christopher blew the remainder of the breath out and looked up at Scott. "Now what?"

"Now we break down the equipment and pack it up," Scott said.

"Good thing we had this tent thing," Christopher said as he stood and stretched. "Things would have been much wetter if we hadn't."

"Mobile Control is built to withstand some pretty severe conditions," Scott replied as he began to fold the unit into its more portable shape. "Especially after B... Einstein had to rebuild and redesign it."

"Why'd he have to do that?"

"Rock slide took it out." Scott refrained from saying that the rock slide almost took him out as well.

Together the two men maneuvered the now packed up Mobile Control machine into the belly of Thunderbird One. Then they came back and took down the cabana-like Penelon tent. It had been open on one side and the other three sides were of a light gauzy material that stopped the elements but the operator inside could see through to an extent. Scott indicated that he would get Thunderbird One prepped while Christopher went and thanked the Chief of Police for his help in providing security. He tried to downplay his accent when he did, but the Chief said, "It's good to know that a fellow countryman is looking out for us."

Inwardly, Christopher groaned. This was just what he didn't want: recognition.

He climbed into the cockpit, and strapped in beside Scott. The lead Thunderbird lifted into the air and Scott radioed to base. "Base from Thunderbird One. We are en route. ETA: 13:47 hours, base time."

"F-A-B, Thunderbird One," Jeff's voice came over the air. It prompted Christopher to think about what he'd been trying to avoid in the midst of all the hubbub of the rescue: his own failure at keeping things secure. The thought of impending doom kept his mind occupied for a large part of the trip. ~I'm for it when we reach base. Might as well take it like a man, though. Mr. Tracy will expect nothing less.
