Connell stood at the doorway of a large hangar at the Neapolthia base. Behind him in the half-collapsed room, the tailless Tazalian, Vemque, worked diligently to repair a Tazalian fighter jet. The dark-blue reptile kept quiet for the most part, though he had no fear of telling human soldiers how they would die if they bothered him. Vemque had been quick to pick up Earthnan, but Connell still couldn't figure out where the Tazalian had learned his foul language.

Despite cooperative actions they had shared, a fair amount of distrust still hovered between the two soldiers. Even though Connell had removed the tracking device implanted in the young Tazalian and had fought off two angry presidents, Vemque regarded Connell with a cold silence. The Lieutenant hardly trusted the creature either, but he needed him.

“How much longer?” Connell called back to the reptile.

Vemque looked over at Connell, his gold eyes communicating annoyance. His thin voice strained with each word he spoke in Earthnan, “Nearly complete. Very soon we strike at Dohma.”

Connell nodded. “Good, but make sure you increase power to the engines. We will still need to get aboard a warship before they find out what happened to their precious snake.”

“Still think you can board easily? You will be found or lose way before reaching bridge.”

The lieutenant turned and limped over to the young reptile, who rolled his golden eyes and returned to his work. Connell stopped behind Vemque. “Well then it's a good thing you will be going with me.”

Vemque gritted his fangs. “Why you expect me to aid you I will never know. If caught, I die.”

“We both die,” Connell retorted, “and if you do not help me, then I cannot promise that the Q.D.s won't get their hands on you.” Connell turned his gaze towards a hole in the hangar roof. His voice became pensive. “I wonder If Kahluna has rescued the boy's sister yet.”

“If you can trust the traitor, then no doubt she has. It is said that only Zaharak is better than she is,” Vemque snorted.

“She may be a traitor in your eyes, but I see her as a true ally.” Connell's eyes grew solemn. “I hope she will rescue the girl.”

Sparks flew from a small torch in Vemque's claws as he welded a piece of steel to the jet's hull. “Should focus on insane mission you have dragged me into.”

Connell sighed. He couldn't argue with the young reptile. He had to stay focused on his own mission. If his plan worked, then mankind would have a better chance against the Tazalian forces with the possibility of regaining control of one of the fallen quadrants. If that happened, then the Tazalians would be forced to retreat. He had to take this chance; there wasn't any other person more capable than he was. Should he fail, then the human race, might as well surrender to Salianos's rule, and Connell would rather die than see that happen.
