A/N: Sorry this post has taken so long, I'm getting kind of bored with this story. Please please PLEASE review, if I get 19 more reviews I'll have the most reviewed story on ff.net. Off course I have to thank BFW for making so many junk reviews.....
Chapter 24
Brian ran his fingers across the smooth surface of a metallic computer monitor. The room was large and dome shaped, filled to the brim with computers, electronic wings and other forms of scientific faerie creations.
Everything in this room is a technological marvel, he silently thought.
"Amazing huh?" Said Brice, as if reading Brian's mind.
"Yes, they are," Brian turned to face Brice. "I don't know how you could expect me to work any of these though Brice, I've never seen faerie technology prior to when I entered the LEP base."
Brice shrugged. "You come from a long line of intelligence, I'm sure that you'll figure it out."
"And if I don't?"
Again, Brice shrugged. "Then you don't. We just drop you back off at the manor, all deals off."
Brian's blue eyes studied Brice. His smile was just a little too large.

Artemis hates the shuttle ride to the underground. He always has. Beautiful as the tunnels may be, amazing as foaly's faerie technology is, nothing ever seemed worth it to him. Till now at least.
"How long till we get to Brian?" asked Amber.
"Not long," replied Holly. "Lucky for us the Tara base chute is near the ICP building."
"What could Brian possibly be thinking?" Wondered Artemis in a whisper.
"I don't know, but whatever it is it better be a good reason or he is going to be in big trouble," replied Amber.

"I don't get it," said Brian to Brice as he sat down at a computer. "Didn't your father already try something similar to this? If his plan failed then why do you think...."
Suddenly Brice's good natured voice vanished into an angry growl. "My father's plan would have worked if it hadn't been for...." Brice cut himself off, seeing the shock I Brian's face. "My plan is different Brian, you haven't seen the whole picture yet."
Brian nodded and began studying the computer schematics again. Though he looked calm on the outside, he was shaking on the inside.
What have I gotten myself into?

"Why are we in here?" Asked Artemis impatiently as he sat down in Foaly's ops booth. "Shouldn't we be trying to stop Brice from destroying your technology and killing my son?"
"It's not as simple as that," said foaly as he sat down across a table from the others. "You see, we always thought that if someone turned off all of our technology, it would be a human, not one of our own people."
"So?" said Holly.
"So we made a trigger," said Foaly. "I'm a little ashamed to say that it was my idea. See not only is ICP the main database for faerie technology, but it also controls all the human technology as well."
Artemis took in a shaky breath. "So when Brian shut down everything in ICP, it will render all technology everywhere useless."
"Wait," said Foaly, his frown deepening. "There's more. The other engineers and I didn't think that simply destroying their technology was enough. So we added another trigger, one that causes all human technology everywhere to explode when ICP is destroyed. This trigger is set up so well that even a gameboy wouldn't be able to get away. When the technology explodes, it will kill who ever is near it."
Everyone was silent for several.
"But with all the technology that the mud people have," started holly slowing.
"Practically every human will die," said Foaly.
