"Erisa, you know we are the terrorists. Right?"

"Yea." She spoke with less emphasis, but she clearly knew.

He then shifted back to the whole group. "I believe it is certain that we have been discovered. I believe that this group that sent up the FBI knows us for who we are. Friends, we must now leave mankind on our trek to the outer reaches of the solar system, and beyond. We must leave in one great last act. Today, we plan the exact moment of our escape. We will leave as soon as possible. Now, we must deal with the tasks at hand. We have the necessary ingredients for altering a bomb for use in a power generator. We have some provisions, perhaps not as many as we would like. But we do not have a tug. We need a capsule with sufficient rocket power to move us into open space."

Michael then spoke, "Our supply capsules. One, of course, is a tug. A Russian tug would have to bring it to us."

"Or we would go to them." Reba spoke up.

George responded quickly. "That would be a good idea. We should get the FBI capsule to be our tug. It can tender us across to New Vladisvostok. Erisa, Jack, you will be able to escape in the FBI capsule after we have finished our preparations. We will also let this agent go." He was directing himself to Steven.
