Platon now spoke, "George, I agree with our plan. This person, this American. What is his name?"

"Jack." Randy knew enough to keep lying.

"Jack, I think we know that we are criminals. We decided to be criminals, like your fathers that revolted against the British decided to be criminals in British eyes. Only history will prove whether we acted for the good of mankind. We do know, though, that we are criminals. We are resigned to banish ourselves. That is why we are here. The time is come for us to stop. We have completed our task. We can do no more."

Angela now touched Erisa, "Erisa, we must go back to work now. We must all go back to work. George, I suggest we organize a team to collect the other two supply capsules. Also, we must organize a method of maintaining a continuous watch. The authorities still have the Bluebird capsule. That's the capsule with the FBI agents on board. We have seen it attached to a tug, and we have seen it being provisioned. They have attached objects on the outside that look like guns of some kind."
