Jen's face blanched as she listened to the encounter. She was glad she planted the small tracking devise under the collar of his coat. Jack's location showed up as a green blip on her monitor moving towards the bunker area.

"Kira, any sign of the Conservancy ships?" she asked.

"Negative."

"Any sign of activity from the surface that would intercept us?"

"Negative."

Jen stood by the communication console typing a message. "Suspicions confirmed. Original contact intercepted and bogus response returned. Trap. Sending all coördinates and information under scramble code 571. Voice and visual contact not secure. Communications channel 34 open. Hurry. Confirmation Code 8A76."

She checked Jack's location again. Either he had not moved or his coat was taken away. She pulled up the map of the bunker and mines and loaded it into her wrist strap. She knew the coordinates were compromised, but the pick-up point was only known to Jack.

She pulled out the medic uniform used in the Spoor War. It gave protection from most firearms, but not the newest ones. It would have to do. Jen carefully strapped on a gun to her thigh and hid a small knife under her breast, and then added a pouch with a shoulder strap containing explosives and extra weapons. Her father would not approve, but this was survival. "I'll try not to kill anyone, father" she murmured, "but I will stop them." Her soldier conditioning raged in her blood, as she gave the order.

"Shakira, coordinate 37.63 degrees north, 120.99 degrees west, chameleon circuit engaged."

The TARDIS left orbit behind the third moon and descended towards Taurus.

Jen scanned the area before venturing out of the ship. No one was in the immediate area Sebecians life signs concentrated in the loading dock. She crept to the original rendezvous point finding it deserted. Jack's wrist strap was in the dust. Jen picked it up and pocketed it. She moved closer to the entrance to the mine, noting two guards stood watch. There was a concentration of light and noise in the area of the shuttle. Circling round to the other side of the complex, she laid explosives in a pattern, setting trigger signals as she went. The Sebecians were busily loading the shuttle with boxes filled with crystals

Jen returned climbing above the entrance where she first found Jack. Two guards kept a vigilant watch. She dipped into her satchel and pulled out a gas mask, three gas pellets and a sonic blaster. She strained to hear Jack's voice. Nothing. She put on the mask and tossed the first pellet. The blue gas burst quietly on impact and the guards immediately dropped. Jen jumped down quickly, secured their weapons and communication devices, bound them and moved them into the gully behind the entrance.

She crept into the tunnel towards the light of the interrogation room. Jack was there, bound and gagged in the center of the room with the two guards facing him as they argued on the best means of transport. Jack's eyes slightly widened as he saw her and the gas mask. He nodded and took a deep breath. She threw the pellets into the room, dashing in as soon as the gas exploded and the guards dropped. Taking a deep breath, she took off her mask and it over Jack's face and cut his bindings. When Jack's hands were free, he took another deep breath and handed the mask back to Jen. Together they silently traded the mask while they worked to strip the guards of their weapons and bind them. After pulling the unconscious bodies into a storage unit and locking it, they scrambled outside to the entrance. The gas had cleared and no one was about.

They moved into the shadows and embraced.

"The Conservancy isn't coming. Your report was intercepted," Jen gasped taking in deep breaths.

"I know," Jack panted. His grim eyes searched the darkness.

"I sent another report to one of the officers I worked with in the Conservancy, but I don't know if he got the message," Jen whispered. She looked up at Jack, "We must leave."

"They are leaving with the crystals on the shuttle. They plan to suffocate the miners and return later. All of them, even the children." Jack replied. " I need time to free them."

"I heard them talking after your capture. I set explosives up on the other side as a diversion as a precaution. Go quickly before Zar comes back for you." She handed Jack the leather pouch of explosives and his wrist strap. "Meet me on the bluff above the rendezvous point.

Jack eyes sparkled. "Good girl!" He hitched the strap over his shoulder, then kissed her again before he plunged back into the tunnel towards the miners quarters.

Jen set off a sequence of explosives on the other side of the complex. She could hear the Sebecians cursing as they scrambled towards the other side.

Jen peered back into the darkness of the tunnel. "Hurry, Jack," she whispered. "Hurry." She started her climb up to the bluff.
