The desert sun glinted off the hover cargo as it made its way through great expanse of sand kicking up a trail of sand and burying a hapless snake. Inside the hover cargo things were strangely peaceful, Bit hadn't stolen any of Leena's food and Brad hadnt been given any reason to complain about not getting enough money. Jamie took the period of peace as a chance to draw up some new strategies that would probably be ignored by Bit, Brad and Leena in the next battle. The peace was broken by Doc Toros. "AHHHHHHH" Jamie jumped out of his seat and Brad came running from the next room "Whats happening are we under attack" blurted Brad "No" replied Jamie "Doc just dropped one of his models". Sure enough Toros was scrambling round on the floor picking up pieces of a Redler while trying to hold back tears. When he got back up he realised the hover cargo had stopped. Brad and Jamie were staring at four wrecked Gyzaks. "What happened here?" asked Jamie to no one in particular "Probably just a zoid battle, nothing to worry about, right Doc?" asked Brad Toros remained silent and stared at the wrecked zoids, thoughts ran through his mind that he didnt want to seriously contemplate. "RIGHT DOC" repeated Brad "Er.. no, nothing, Jamie go get some lunch" the order was hurriedly tacked on the end and Jamie wascertain Doc sounded a little jumpy, but was to hungry to check. Brad turned to leave.

"Brad you stay" "What I do now?" Ignoring Brads guilty conscience Toros told him to sit, and sit he did "I saw something and had to get Jamie out before bringing it up" Toros tapped a key enlarging the picture of the Gyzaks to cover the main screen. "look at them carefully, what do you see?" Brad scrutinised the picture and after a minute or so he gave his reply. "They haven't taken much damage, looks like they were sniped, so what" Brad got a hopeful glint one of his eyes but only careful examination would have revealed which one "It could mean Naomi is nearby" "That was my immediate reaction too, then I saw this" Doc pressed another series of keys and enlarged the third Gyzak "I don't believe it," stuttered Brad "Who would do a thing like that?" The Gyzak's; head, cockpit and pilot had been blown clean away.
