Chapter 4 – Knowledge

Mars Spaceport

"So, Mr Wolfe," the ranger began.

"Nick," the interruption was curt.

"I'm sorry?" Marcus' calm tone of voice at odds with the puzzled look on his face.

"You can call me Nick," came the calm reply.

"So, Nick," the ranger tried again, "How are we going to do this?"

"It's already done," Nick stated as they moved through the crowds towards the far side of the spaceport.

Psi-Corps Special Projects Building

They had cut through the first three security checkpoints like a hot knife through warm butter. The immortals muffled PPGs had given them an incredible advantage over the security force.

The fourth checkpoint was different. It started out well, surprise was total, however, these guards were a little more alert than the others. The return fire mainly splattered against the wall, but the normal PPG fire was enough to start the alarms shrieking.

Zack watched, eyes widening, as he tracked one of the last bolts fired. It slipped through the clustered bodies and smashed into Lyta's chest. He saw Methos catch her as she slumped down, dead.

Zack was wondering how he had gotten to her side after only a second.

"Zack, ZACK," Methos' voice pierced the layer of ice that had seemed to have gathered around him, "Get rid of the cameras."

Zack blinked himself out of shock as Methos' command registered. He shut his eyes and sparks flew from places in the ceiling.

Mars Spaceport, STS shuttle

Nick and Marcus had arrived at Nick's shuttle. He had explained that he had a ship in orbit waiting for them and that they would dart in to retrieve the team just outside the Dome. They were now waiting for departure clearance.

Babylon 5, Captain's Quarters

Cassandra hadn't been sleeping well lately and it was beginning to affect her work, not to mention the amount of make-up she had been using lately. Ever since seeing Methos again she had been having some dreams. She seriously needed to have a talk with him.

EAS Apollo, Captain's Quarters

Susan Ivanova woke to the shrill beeping of her link. Whoever decided the sound those things made had to be that annoying should be shot, she decided.

"Yes," the gruff response proving that the Russian bear was alive and well.

"Sorry, Captain," came the voice of her night bridge duty officer, "We have a gold channel communication coming in from Babylon 5."
