When Orin, Tiet, Wynn and Daooth arrived in the rail system control room, they found minimal power available. Daooth located the grid controls and brought the system online. The rail cars were kept in a docking bay apart from the magnetic propulsion tunnel. Daooth brought one of the cars from the bay on a loading arm as Wynn and the others brought the explosives into the loading area. It was quite a bomb they had rigged—almost too much for the hover carrier to support. It consisted of two containers of inert chemicals which became volatile when mixed; a Trilithium matrix and B7 accelerant.

“Two of us will need to go ahead of the car with the explosives and begin clearing the rubble from the tunnel,” said Wynn. “After that, one person needs to accompany the bomb into the city, in case there are any other obstructions in the tunnel.”

“Tiet, why don’t you go with Wynn and I’ll take the explosives on through after you,” Orin said.

“Are you sure?” asked Wynn.

“I’ll make sure nothing interferes with the car reaching the facility,” Orin said.

“Daooth can load the cars into the propulsion tunnel and send us through from the control room here. So, you will not need to operate the rail car yourself, but you will have to escape after it comes above ground inside the city. The rail system becomes a series of magnetic rings which are spaced along the track until it enters the cloning facility. You will be inside the city at that point, so you will have to be careful. Grod’s forces have certainly begun their assault by now.”

“What about our rail car that will be setting in the tunnel?” Tiet asked.

“Daooth can move our car into a passing cell, located at different positions along the tunnel. They allow for cars to be displaced while others pass,” Wynn explained. “We will go on ahead in this car and then I’ll communicate with you when its time to come through with the explosives.”

Wynn and Tiet climbed inside the rail car, measuring nearly thirty yards in length. Tiet and Orin exchanged glances as the door closed on the car. Orin tried to look reassuring.

He knew if anything happened to him, that Wynn would be able to continue Tiet’s training even beyond what he had been able to accomplish with the boy. But he had no intention of riding this rail car to his doom. Orin did wonder what would be waiting for him in a city full of Vorn soldiers and an invading Horva army led by Grod. Hopefully, they would be so busy with each other that they wouldn’t even notice him.

The door of the car secured itself into a locking position as Wynn and Tiet sat down and fastened their seat harnesses for the trip. Daooth worked the controls causing the hoist arm to move the rail car into the propulsion tunnel. Once they were inside the mouth of the tunnel, a safety door constricted into place behind the car so that the magnetic field would not harm anyone in the loading area.
