Craaxit was already waiting when Daisy arrived at their agreed upon meeting spot.

“Good to see you, my friend. Do you have news for me?” she asked expectantly.

“Greetings to you, Daisy. My network has been busy, and I have some positive news to relay.”

“They’re going to join the rebellion?”

Craaxit hesitated, a slightly uncomfortable look in his eyes.

“Not exactly. But they are willing to help.”

“What does that mean? Either they are or they aren’t.”

“In this case, it means exactly as it sounds. The Chithiid working in the communications hubs are awaiting my signal to open the service accessways and help guide your teams to the power systems to plant the explosive devices.”

“That sounds like they’re with us,” Daisy noted.

“But––”

“There’s always a ‘but,’ isn’t there?”

You know it.

“Just our luck, eh, Sis?”

“But what?” Daisy asked.

“But the men of the San Francisco facility feel it is too risky to participate in an open rebellion when the outcome is questionable.”

“They won’t help?” Daisy said, dejected.

“Oh, they will,” Craaxit corrected her. “But their help will be limited to a temporary, and non-sabotage-appearing delay to the hangar doors. They will also provide a narrow surveillance-free accessway to the one door they shall leave unlocked for your team.”

He pulled the piece of debris from his pocket.

“This is the rough shape of the facility,” he began. “It is at this corner that your people will find safe access,” he said, pointing to the crude drawing. “Here, take this with you.” He offered her the makeshift map.

“I have committed it to memory,” she informed him. “No need to carry a rock into battle.”

“Very well. Though, should your weapons fail, a rock can come in somewhat handy,” he joked.

Daisy grinned and turned to leave.

“Are our comms devices still secure?”

“They appear to be.”

“Good. I will key you in when we have a hard countdown so you can tell your people. This is it, Craaxit. This is when we land the first blow to retake both of our worlds.”

“Good luck, Daisy. May fortune be on your side.”

“Thank you, Craaxit. I hope when next we meet, it is in celebration of our victory,” she replied, then headed back to prepare for the mission with the others.
