Only real fire will fight real fire. The threat must be so real that people will accelerate the exodus from Earth. Only migration can save humanity. Don't tell O'Leary. I will kill you. Kill me if you will.

"What's that at the end?" Ferguson saw the odd letter string.

"It's George Oliver Davis spelled backwards. He didn't want his name in clear text in the message. It helps the decryption guys if you put in your name."

Ferguson responded, "Yeh. We've got trouble here. George is the murderer and he's now in charge of all of Metafire! I'd say it looks like he's repeating what he did before."

The Major spoke, "At least it looks like there are really only thirteen bombs in total. The bomb in New Boston would be the only one left."

Then Jill said something they didn't want to hear. "You know. These guys know the Internet so well. Do you think they have put out some viruses that are maintaining other bombs, that we don't know about. Do you think this guy George has time bombs out there that will last as long as the Internet. You know, the Internet is like an eternal flame. It's impossible to kill it, really. It has too many sources. Maybe there are bombs being maintained for explosions years from now. George kept the knowledge of other bombs from some of the Metafire people. Who knows how many bombs he actually collected, and with who."
