While Rick was contemplating his vision of the future, Ryvil was planning it. On board the Provenger ship, he had reported to his station for the day and then slipped away. He had obtained temporary use of a Provenger battle gauntlet, a weapon not normally available to the average Provenger. His plan was to transport to Rick’s house.

It had taken him days to access the file regarding the location and layout of the home. It was still early in the day on Earth, and he hoped to catch Rick by surprise. He would have to eliminate anyone who saw him. He couldn’t risk discovery.

He was running late. Ryvil knew that Rick had been through a lot lately and would be tired. He guessed that he would still be in bed. Ryvil had to keep his presence in Rick’s house at under two minutes; otherwise, the Provenger scans would notice, so he had to work fast. He would arrive cloaked, even though he knew Rick might have his tag on him and the cloak might not work. Ryvil knew he might be discovered, but he needed to act now. He was desperate and was running out of time.

Ryvil entered the coordinates, tuned his disruption wave to a needle thin beam, and initiated transport. Ryvil found himself standing in the corner of Rick’s bedroom. He knew he needed to work fast.

They were both there, crumpled in numerous layers of pillows and blankets. Under an animal skin was the woman that had been given to Rick, sprawled with her legs sticking out. Next to her was Rick’s form under a blanket with a pillow over his head. They were both fast asleep. They probably already had sex, Ryvil thought. That’s not good. Go for the chest, he considered. You don’t have much time. Ryvil aimed for Rick’s torso, high in the chest, and gave the slightest pulse. I can’t create too much damage, he thought. It would be too obvious.

After the shot, Ryvil saw movement. Good. A hit. As Ryvil initiated transport back to his ship and only twenty seconds had passed, he heard a bell ringing in the other room and was back on board the Provenger ship.
