Yvonne stood on the control gantry that overlooked the monitoring room in the Trutopian headquarters.

She felt her stomach tighten as she read the information on the screen in front of her. The broken, burned-out shell of the Trutopian Learjet had been found crashed into a mountainside in Poland, twenty-four miles south of Rzeszow. There were no survivors. Under Yvonne’s orders, a team was currently en route to the crash site to examine the wreckage.

So far, the Trutopian military strategists hadn’t been able to determine who had shot down the jet.

They’ve covered their tracks well. Whoever did it knew we’d be searching for them. They’re scared of us. And they should be.

Yvonne looked down into the large, dark room. The dozen military strategists worked feverishly at their stations, overseeing the training of the Trutopian armies. The strategists didn’t talk to each other. They didn’t take coffee breaks. They didn’t look up from their work, or even stop long enough to stretch.

The wall directly opposite Yvonne was one giant monitor, currently showing a map of the world. The Trutopian communities were highlighted in green.

She turned her attention back to her own computer and began tapping at the keyboard. The Trutopians had hacked into every major news source and communications network.

Yvonne’s computer informed her that the New Heroes had left Sakkara and were currently on their way to Lieberstan. Right now they were in a high-speed transport—a second-generation version of Max Dalton’s StratoTruck—flying over Kazakhstan.

The U.S. defense forces had been put on high alert, but no one seemed to know exactly why. Yvonne puzzled over this, probing through the reports and analyzing the incoming data, until she found the reason: a video message from Sakkara to the headquarters of the United Nations.

Yvonne played the video, and Danny Cooper stared out of the screen. Standing behind him were Renata Soliz and Butler Redmond.

“My name is Danny Cooper. I’m sure most of you know all about me. And some of you probably know why I’m contacting you now. Many—if not most—of your countries have been involved in the prison camp in Lieberstan.

“There are innocent people there, persecuted simply because they have a connection to someone you consider to be a threat. Many of those innocents are children, born into slavery. You are supposed to be civilized people, yet you have knowingly allowed this place to exist.

“The New Heroes are going to Lieberstan. You will give us the support we need to put an end to the situation there with as little loss of life as possible. The prisoners are to be given their freedom, reunited with their families and fully compensated. I’m sure that some of the prisoners do deserve punishment, but not there, not like that.

“These are your instructions: You will immediately contact the government of Lieberstan and order them to withdraw their troops from the area. If they refuse, you will send in your own troops and you will force the Lieberstanian army to withdraw. After we have freed your slaves, the whole story will be made public.
