"What outside agent," the red-eyed man asked with scorn as he approached the screen. His eyes squinted in concentration as he looked over the information on the man.
"So the last of the Time Lords has chosen to interfere," he said with emotionless delivery. "Ah but this is quite helpful. His companion there is one we have been looking for quite some time."
"It just appears to be a weak human female, sir," the technician asked in confusion. "What possible help could that be to us?"
"It is not the place of a Forerunner to question her orders," he replied simply. "Your lot is merely to obey."
"Understood," she said apologetically. "What are my orders?"
"Report to Xhin Rutoan," he informed her. "You are hereby assigned to Project Hope and Destiny."
"The girl is a Window," she gasped. "I never thought they would look so weak."
"All the easier to do your job," her commander said resolutely. "One more thing. Solomon is not to learn of this."
