Shadow was issuing new orders, directing the fleet to adjust course and search for the surviving American ships and convert them.

Guides around the planet were attempting to rally people to Aspasia's Shadow's cause and subvert their own governments. Tapping into satellite communications and then into the Internet, the guardian, as directed by Aspasia's Shadow, was issuing orders to those Guides, directing them to cause as much dissension as possible to keep the world from forming a united front and to spread propaganda regarding Artad.

The infected people on the surface of the island went about the tasks designated to them by the guardian.

The nanotechs widened the tunnel to the thermal power source underneath the island.

All were part of the information and communication flow. Kelly could also see the truncated avenues of communication that she knew had been to other guardians around the planet. And the major break, the line that had once been connected with the Master Guardian but had been severed so long ago. She also "saw" that the guardian was opening up its end of that communications link, as if preparing for the other end to open also.

And in the midst of all this she saw it. The name Johnny Simmons. Like a flashing light.

She homed in on the thin data flow with his name. It was piggybacked on a GPS

signal to the Alien Fleet. Unnoticeable, unless someone was looking for that specific name. There was no reason for the guardian to notice, nor Aspasia's Shadow, but for Kelly it was a bright shining light.

She accessed the data stream.

Turcotte wanted more information. About Excalibur. The Master Guardian. The request was like a jolt of energy as it gave her a purpose. She came farther out of the

156

shadows into the guardian's data field to search for the information.

THE COLONEL JAMES N. ROWE

SPECIAL OPERATIONS TRAINING

FACILITY, NORTH CAROLINA

The Special Operations Training Facility was located forty miles west of Fort Bragg and had been established during World War II as a training base for the Eleventh Airborne Division. A couple of decades later it served as the place where Colonel Bull Simon trained the Son Tay Raiders in preparation for their mission into North Vietnam. Years after that, Charlie Beckwith had utilized the area to prepare his Delta Force commandos for their ill-fated mission into Iran. It was now home to the field division of the Special Forces Qualification course as well as constantly being utilized by Delta Force, the Air Forces Special Operations Wing, and CIA covert forces as a training area.

In the nineties the fixed training site had been named the Colonel Rowe Training Facility, after a Special Forces officer who had escaped imprisonment in North Vietnam and was later assassinated in the Philippines. At the present moment, given the heightened state of alert for the US military, the Rowe Facility was empty, the instructors and students shipped out to the Special Forces Groups to get them up to strength. Next to the camp, there was a full-sized airstrip. Thus, when Quinn brought the bouncer to a hover outside a large, rusting hangar, there was no one there to see.
