After thinking for a few moments Carlos looks back up, "I'm certainly in. But we certainly need to discuss what plans you have."
"I would agree. This will not be easy. Maybe we should go have a seat over some coffee and talk some more." as take Carlos to a table nearby and get us both a cup of coffee.
"Tell me what you have in mind."
"Like I was saying the facility at SadTech is their beachhead into this earth. We need to take control of the building in order to take control of the location that they have been doing their crossovers."
"How do you propose to take over the building."
"That is where it is a little more complex. I need to get back in with the department."
"Do you have a plan. You did not exactly part on good terms when you left."
"My idea is that I have been undercover. I was infiltrating this group called the FreeLancers. They are considered to be serious terrorists. During my year under deep cover, I have seen and collected a lot of research that points towards this building be the point at which they are coordinating their attacks. My undercover position allowed me to confirm these facts."
"I guess none of it is lies. They are terrorists if they are kidnapping people without cause and giving no reason for their incarceration."
"But what we need to do is convince the department that we need to shut down their operation immediately."
"That should be easy enough. We will say that I was acting as your handler while you were undercover. I was unable to tell anyone in the department of your new assignment as it was possible that they were screening department communications. Just to reinforce that I can get the chief to meet us somewhere offsite."
"That sounds like an excellent idea. We need to get him on board and then this will work as a coordinated effort with more people involved."
"Once we take the facility, what would be doing or looking for?"
"They will have plenty of advanced technology onsite. It will be enough to substantiate my claims. For the police department it will be a major win taking down international terrorists. For me, it will give me control and access to the their facility. With Alec's help, I hope to access these other realities and hopefully shut down their operations."
"Won't they try to take back the facility?"
"That is a possibility, but I have a hunch that they will not engage a large police presence from this time. I believe what they may do is move their operations to a new location."
"But you said we needed this building to access their location."
"It is Alec's belief that a common point is used, but it can be moved. With their advanced technology, they will likely be able to move their hub to another common location. So I plan to engage the sphere on the day of the assault. I want to get to their other facility with the element of surprise."
"That may be hard to explain the chief, when we are suddenly both gone."
"It will be, but we will have to deal with that if we get back."
"Are you afraid we will not get back?"
"I will not lie, these people are very dangerous. And my technology has little effect on their soldiers."
"Then we need to go low tech. Standard police assault gear from my time should work just fine."
Yes, I believe that will likely work. I had believed that I had the technological advantage, but that is no longer the case."
"So guns, tasers, cuffs, and.."
"...police clubs. They certainly can't stop a hit from those."
"So why not bring a large group over?"
"If Alec is correct about the multiple timelines, then I'm afraid that the more that crossover will further disrupt time. However, I can't do this alone, and that is why I brought you into it."
"I'm hoping to be able to recruit some help when we get over to the other side."
"What kind of help is going to help us."
"The desperate kind."
