To the *seven*people that read this, I'm glad I have an audience. Things are certainly beginning to fall into place. If you want a specific point where everything is going to fly off the handle, that would be Chapter 9. For now, enjoy the buildup...

Holly woke up just as the Haven pseudo sun was rising. She had slept well, but now all of her thoughts were on the mission ahead. She had performed plenty of missions for the LEP, and plenty with Artemis Fowl too, and each one required her complete focus. All of her worries had been pushed to the back of her mind, her training taking centre stage as she dragged herself out of bed and into the kitchen to grab some coffee- Holly never went a morning without coffee, and could barely function without it. Fortunately, Artemis had smuggled some real coffee down in his suitcase, so Holly didn't have to endure the simulated coffee that The People were so accustomed to. But it wasn't just coffee she could smell as she walked into the kitchen, there was something else too. As she walked through the door, she was met with the sight of Artemis Fowl, and a plate full of pancakes!
"Artemis!" She exclaimed. "How in Frond's name did you make pancakes? I don't have any food."
Artemis smiled the way her always did when he saw cranky, pre-coffee Holly in the morning, something he had become accustomed to.
"I couldn't sleep very well, so I went on a midnight shopping trip and bought you some food."
"How did you find the shop?" Holly asked. Artemis had only been down in Haven for half a day, how did he know where the shops were?
"I already pretty much know Haven's layout from my previous surveillance. Plus I remembered where it was when we were walking back from the restaurant last night."
"You're really something else" Holly replied, downing her entire cup of coffee in one swift motion.
"So are you" Artemis said, watching the cup bounce as Holly put it back on the table. "I've never seen anybody down coffee quite as quickly as you have."
Holly sat down and started to eat her pancakes. She dare not say it out loud, but Artemis wasn't half bad at making pancakes; She probably had Butler to thank for that, seeing as he had started teaching Artemis many things, not least Self-Defence and combat- and cooking- but she would not satisfy his ego by telling him. Once they had both finished their breakfast, they got washed and dressed. Knowing that she was going to be covering herself in all manner of equipment, Holly dressed in a simple green t-shirt and pair of trousers. Artemis still stubbornly decided he was going to wear a suit, although to Holly's surprise, the suit was light blue in colour, not his usual black or grey. Just as they had finished getting ready, there was a knock on the door. Holly opened it, and was not disappointed.
"Commander Vinyaya" She said, acknowledging the elf's arrival. "Foaly" Likewise for the Centaur. Then she saw what was behind them.
"How did you manage to park a helijet infront of my house?"
"Some careful piloting skills" Vinyaya replied. "And prior clearance from the council."
"Impressive" Artemis commented. They both put on their Section 8 suits and helmets, which had been tailor made for Artemis considering his size difference. Holly clipped her Neutrino to her belt, and then handed one to Artemis.
"I'm not using a gun."
"Artemis..."
"Holly, I have no idea how to use those things." He said, but Holly wasn't giving in.
"Take it, just in case." Then, to make her point, she clipped it onto Artemis' belt herself. He just rolled his eyes and accepted it. The next step was to insert Foaly's iris cams, and also to slip on a silver nano-bracelet, which could detect shifts in the atmosphere once inside the Refinery. Once they were fully kitted up, Vinyaya led Holly away to the Helijet, leaving Artemis and Foaly to themselves.
"The prototype BWRD has been completed, just like you asked last night" Foaly said to Artemis once they were alone. "As far as I can tell, it works, but we won't know for certain without the proper tests."
"It is always good practice to have a working prototype anyway, you of all creatures should know that."
"Oh I know it Artemis, I usually have 3" The Centaur joked. "Creating this ahead of schedule does not have anything to do with the threat of Flower Kevoor does it?"
Artemis looked over at Holly, who was boarding the Helijet. "No, the end goal remains the same for both myself and for you. If my research into Kevoor that I did last night is correct, the BWRD would be useless anyway. If there's one thing she'll do, it's isolate us first. And the device needs all your equipment to be working fully."
"Do not doubt me mud boy."
"I'm not doubting you at all Foaly... I'm just suggesting you may need to move into the 21st Century." Artemis pulled out a small silver box from his pocket and handed it to Foaly. "Made you one of these last night. It's called the 'Signal Bouncer'. If Kevoor sends you a communication at all, you can use this to unscramble it. Think of it as a code-breaker. Then we can track her location."
"Did you spend any of last night actually sleeping?"
"No" Artemis said, turning towards the Helijet. "I spent most of it looking for a shop that sold pancakes."

Holly was watching Artemis as he talked to Foaly. Half way through, he had turned his head to face her, and she couldn't for the life of her make out his facial expression. It was a weird combination of guilt and determination. Then he handed something to Foaly, and she knew that, when this was all over, she had to confront him about whatever was going on between the two of them that she had no idea about. No, screw it, she was going to ask now.
"So what were you chatting to Foaly about back there?" She asked as he slid in next to her.
"Just going over a few details. I thought it would be nice to give him a little something to help with the mission"
"The silver box?" Holly asked. Artemis nodded sincerely. At least that part was cleared up, there was still something off about it though.
"What is the box's function?" Vinyaya asked, intrigued. She was sitting opposite both Holly and Artemis.
"It's a signal unscrambler. Yesterday you said that Kevoor masked her video message by scrambling the signal, so I put together a device last night that can find the root of any signal and work using it as the core, eliminating any false signal pickups and tracing it straight back to the source."
"Clever, and useful" The Commander commented. "I expected no less."
The Helijet began to take off. Holly recognised the pilot as Ramon Stone, one of the LEP's best pilots. If anyone could get them to the refinery in record time, it was Stone. Still, if they were racing in pods, Holly would have beaten him easily.
"How long will it take us to reach the refinery?" Artemis asked, having to raise his voice over the noise of the jets.
"About 15 minutes" Vinyaya replied. "So, Master Fowl, seeing as I brought you along for the technical side of this operation, what should we expect once we reach the refinery?"
Artemis smiled, obviously rather happy that he could be technical about something and not have anybody complain.
"The refinery is, fortunately for us, rather uncomplicated. It is, however, quite big. Infact it totals 35 rooms, ranging from control pods to cooling stations to the toilets. We cannot be sure what has been planted there or where it is, so we will have to check everywhere, but every room is linked by one corridor. This means we can go down the corridor and check off each room systematically. The corridor is a spiral, and ends with the innermost two rooms: Haven Refinery Command and Control Centre, where every part of the refinery is monitored and every central command is issued, and the Energy storage unit. If I were asked where the device would be located, it would be in either of these two rooms."
"Why those two rooms?" Holly asked.
"The Command and Control room is the biggest single place inside the refinery. There are plenty of desks and computers and places to hide something without it being found. The Energy storage unit explains itself. This is where all of the energy harvested and refined in that building gets stored. If someone were to, say, set off a bomb in there, the fallout would be far more catastrophic than if it were placed anywhere else in the Refinery."
"You sure we're not going to find it in the Janitor's closet?" Holly joked, poking Artemis in the ribs. Vinyaya, not understanding the reference, stared at them with utter confusion.
"I am. Unlike Dubai, where our things were being hidden, I'm almost certain Flower Kevoor wants us to find this, so that she can make a scene."
There was a sudden squeak as the intercom burst into life. "Buckle up people, we're approaching the refinery."
"Already?" Holly asked.
"I'm not the LEP's best Helijet pilot for nothing" Stone replied, setting the craft down. Now their mission really began.

Artemis Fowl and pancakes, the perfect duo. In seriousness, I would enjoy this chapter and the ones before it if I were you, because at some point within the next 3 chapters, I guarantee you that somebody is going to die...

And you have no idea who it's going to be. *Insert manic evil laughter here*
