Thursday, July 5, 2068, 9:25 p.m., somewhere over the Indian Ocean, Thunderbird One

"Thunderbird Five from Thunderbird One," Scott said crisply. "What's the latest, Indy?"

Alan's picture showed up in one of Thunderbird One's screens. "I'm still trying to pinpoint the location of the trucks through their GPS," the younger man replied in a harried tone. "The storm is still going strong and the local weather services predict another four to five hours before it clears."

Scott shook his head. "That means protective gear all around, and I'll probably have to work Mobile Control from Thunderbird One. Gonna be hard to do that so far from the action. Pass the word on to Thunderbird Two. They'll need to be ready for the sandstorm. I hope it doesn't interfere with communications."

"I'm going to boost the signal feed, just in case," Alan assured him. "And the Arabic translation program is up and running, too. As long as communications are stable, Doc and the others will be able to get translations. There'll be a short time lag, maybe as much as five seconds, but no more than that."

"What about the reciprocal translations?" Scott asked. "Will the rescue victims be able to understand our workers?"

"Yes." Alan nodded. "The translation will sound out through little speakers in the visors... or that's what... Sweet tells me."

Scott couldn't miss Alan's grimace when he mentioned Tin-Tin's code name. "Keep your personal feelings out of the rescue, Indy," he warned.

"I will, Maverick," Alan shot back irritably. "I know how to be professional."

"See that you are. Let me know when you've pinpointed the trucks. Thunderbird One out."

Scott shook his head. We don't need the feelings between him and Tin-Tin getting in the way of the rescue. He passed a hand over his face. I hope he can find those trucks or else I may have to go looking with the thermal imager before Thunderbird Two gets there. And I hope that there won't be any conflict between our ladies and the men at the Danger Zone. We don't need to be offending those we're rescuing.




98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
