A/N: Thanks so much for your reviews. I hope you'll keep reviewing and I hope I don't let you down.

Jonathan and Elvis return to Carrington Institute hangar. Carrington was pacing around the room eager to meet the new arrival. The jumpship opens and Elvis looks around the hangar.

"I am so honoured to finally meet you" Carrington offered his hand but then remember it wasn't Maian custom to shake hands but Elvis took it anyway.

"Thank you Mr. Carrington, your planet is very fascinating" Elvis said

"Yes, one day hopefully we'll be able to visit yours" Carrington replied and Elvis nodded.

"Now business first?" Elvis asked

"Of course" Carrington said as Jonathan and Elvis followed him to his office.

Carrington sat down at a large table which also served as his desk and Jonathan and Elvis sat around.

"Now first things first, did you find out who the dataDyne troops fought before you arrived?" Carrington asked

"I know who they are our enemies in this war that is going on the Skedar, but why they are here I am not sure" Elvis scratched his large head "You said nine earth years back that you had a strange ship and disappearances had been happening, it is certain the Skedar came here with purpose" Elvis continued to think. Jonathan broke the silence.

"What I can't get is why both dataDyne and the Skedar were there in the first place?" Jonathan said

"Bit more than a coincidence, somehow both of them have tapped into our conversation, they knew we were coming. Clearly one thought the other was the enemy and they killed each other" Elvis said and Carrington nodded in agreement.

"What's our next move?" Jonathan asked, Carrington thought for a moment.

"Jonathan I want you to go to Lucerne Tower. Find out what you can on about why dataDyne placed troops on Victoria Island" Carrington said "You will be dropped off on the top of the building, you may need to take out security cameras around you, ideally you could knock out a guard and take his uniform" Carrington gave Jonathan the official CI briefing.

"Is that all sir?" Jonathan asked

"Yes, we shall be ready for you at 1900" Carrington replied and Jonathan nodded and stood up and headed to the firing range. Foster was testing some of the Maian weapons Elvis had given him.

"Excellent stuff this" Foster took a Phoenix and blasted a moving target to pieces he was quite an accurate shot not as good as Jonathan but good enough to be an agent himself however Carrington needed his weapons expertise. He came out to greet Jonathan.

"Foster, what can you tell me about this weapon?" Jonathan handed him the CMP 50

"It's the dataDyne CMP 50 but you knew that, 16 rounds very accurate for a SMG decent stopping power but the small magazine lets it down, most of dataDyne's guards hold it. I heard they are planning an upgrade called the CMP150 which has double the clip size which would make a very fearsome weapon indeed" Foster sounded like he was quoting directly from a textbook.

"I could do with some training it in, if things go wrong this is the weapon I'm going to have to start off with if I want to keep my disguise until then" Jonathan said. Foster knew what Jonathan was talking about, all the labs get information on missions assigned to agents.

"Very well, not a dependable weapon but it would give you enough time to draw your Magnum" Foster begun to type into the computer and Jonathan walked into the firing range area.

Jonathan begun practicing learning its accuracy and reload pattern. It didn't take long for Jonathan to become fairly decent with it. At 5pm Jonathan decides to head to the device lab, just to see if there was anything new. When he enters a strange device comes to him and flashes, he blinks and spots Natasha the head device lab technician with a small remote control in hand.

"What was that?" Jonathan asked

"Camspy, useful thing isn't it I hope you like your picture" Natasha laughed as the printer in the room printed a picture of a shocked Jonathan.

"Geez thanks" Jonathan replied sarcastically

"You do with it on your mission; it works like the bombspy that Foster developed with us. This one won't blow up, but instead it can transfer pictures back to us as well as any conversation

"Excellent, I may begin to like this device after all" Jonathan said

"I know I can trust you with this, since unlike some agents you are known to return stuff" Natasha handed him the device

"You do have another one don't you? You never know what can happen in the field" Jonathan said concerned, he didn't want to get on Natasha's bad side she was known to give some agents quite a telling off.

"Yes, just be careful with it" Natasha replied "I would like to see it return but I'm more than use to things magically disappearing due to careless acts"

"I'll do my best, but first let me get the hang of how to use this thing" Jonathan said and Natasha handed him the remote

"It's no different to the bombspy, you see through here as usual" Natasha pointed to a small screen that was looking at the door, Jonathan spun the device around and then moved it into Natasha and he nudged her and took a photo of her face.

"Okay, very funny, you understand how to use it?" Natasha folded the device back up.

"Yes, except how do I transfer info back to base" Jonathan asked

"Simply get outside, press this button here" Natasha pointed to a button on the remote control "Understood?"

"Yes thank you" Jonathan took the device off her and put it away it was surprisingly small and fitted quite easily into his pocket. The remote folded up into the device itself, Jonathan still couldn't get over how easily stuff could be concealed

He went into the cafeteria and relax his mind and begun to eat dinner. After he finished he looked at Elvis looking at the fridge.

"How are you feeling Jonathan" Elvis asked

"I'm alright, I'm still a little nervous even though this is my second mission now"

"You remind me of how I was like for my first missions about 290 Earth years ago" Elvis said and Jonathan dropped his jaw

"290 years ago!?" Jonathan said surprised wondered how long a Maian could live for in Earth years

"Hehe, I forgot you guys don't live for too long compared to us do you?" Elvis laughed

"Yeah, still it mustn't be much for fun you being stuck here" Jonathan said

"Actually, I'm trying to learn all there is to know about your planet, but I finding that to be very difficult since there is so much to see" Elvis drunk some soft drink "Oooo… it tickles" Elvis laughed dancing a little bit and Jonathan couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Anyway have to go now, see you later" Jonathan started walked towards the hangar

"Bye" Elvis waved

Jonathan headed into the jumpship yet again, and prepared himself once more for the mission looking over the map Carrington had given him of Lucerne Tower. The jumpship eventually stopped and Jonathan looked for cameras on the outside of the building. None to be seen, he thought to himself. He jumped out and landed on the helipad drawing his Magnum. A guard came out, totally unaware of Jonathan above him, he walked out and looked over the edge of the building. Jonathan crept up slowly to his victim and knocked him out with the side of his pistol. He hid the guard near some crates around the helipad and took his uniform and took the Camspy with him.

"Nicely done Jonathan, only contact us when you are certain it is safe to do so, best plan would be to come back here" Carrington came in over the radio

"Received" Jonathan replied and put away his Magnum and picked the CMP 50 still on the floor after he knocked the guard out.



Jonathan entered through the door, he noticed 2 cameras. He hoped that they would not notice the difference and lucky for him, the guard he knocked out had similar hair to Jonathan, all Jonathan had to do was keep his face away from the camera. However another guard approached him.

"How you doin'?" The guard asked

"I'm alright, and you?" Jonathan wondered if the guard noticed the difference and he was just playing with him

"I'm okay; watch Terrance he's in a bad mood" the guard said

"Okay, thanks" Jonathan wondered where Terrance was, maybe he'd get a shot off at him but then he remembered his mission should be top priority, his time for killing Terrance would come.

Jonathan continued down the stairs and came to the office levels, Carrington's plan of the building couldn't have been more accurate, as he remembered looking over it on the jumpship. Three guards were chatting together. He needed to find where that meeting room of Cassandra's was, according to the map it was on the bottom floor of the office levels, that was two floors down. He opened the door leading to the stairs and went down two levels he opened the door that lead to the offices on that level. Outside was a guard was impatiently tapping his foot.

"Where have you been?" The guard grumbled "You were supposed to arrive 15 minutes ago"

"I'm sorry, I got delayed" Jonathan replied

"Well, better late then never, at least you showed up" The guard patted Jonathan friendly on the shoulder before leaving. He couldn't believe his luck, he heard two people talking but couldn't quite hear what they were saying he was alone he just needed to somehow hear on their conversation. Then it came to him, that Camspy thing. He drew it out of his pocket and directed at a small hole in the wall, then he could not only hear everything they were saying, he could see them as well. A strange man in a white trenchcoat with somebody he couldn't see properly but judging by her voice and hair there was no doubt in Jonathan's mind this woman was Cassandra.

"I can't believe you interfered, why? It's because of you Carrington got in contact with the Maians, now who knows what will happen" Mr. Blonde was furious but it was matched by Cassandra's own rage.

"If you actually asked me for help you needed it, this would never have happened" Cassandra shouted back. Yup definitely Cassandra, Jonathan thought to himself.

"Foolish human, that single institute agent may have defeated most of your guards, but against 10 Skedar he would have been slaughtered" Mr. Blonde slammed his hand on Cassandra's desk

"He would have called for reinforcements then what?" Cassandra countered

"They would need a force of 70 to have a chance, even then we still had that device that would shoot down the Maian craft and that was somehow destroyed" Mr. Blonde replied

"We had nothing to do with that part of it, stop blaming your failure on me" Cassandra continued to keep her hostile mood.

"Even so your guards failed, they shouldn't have and this is what we do to things that fail" Mr. Blonde took a strange pistol like weapon from the desk and crushed it with his hands. "Maybe this was a stupid idea to trust an incompetent fool like you, I should leave and blow your entire scheme by showing everybody where exactly you hid your former leaders" Mr. Blonde smiled evilly and Cassandra's mood changed entirely.

"I… I'm sorry" Cassandra said

"Apology accepted, be more careful" Mr. Blonde's mood changed as well. He still wanted that weapon, wiping the Maians out of existence would allow so much gain, despite how long it would take to get this stupid human to get it. It was then that Mr. Blonde decided that he would destroy Earth as well if the Skedar was ever was successful in getting the weapon, at the very least he would kill Cassandra when she was no longer required of course it depended upon what his superiors had to say about it maybe they had better ideas.

Jonathan had heard enough, he took a few pictures of them talking. He heard footsteps and quickly drew the Camspy back in.

"Sorry I'm late, I got held up" A guard said coming through the entrance. This must have been the guy who was originally supposed to come

"Okay, that's alright" Jonathan wasn't quite sure how to respond to this so he did the first thing that came to his mind giving the same casual attitude that the guard he originally spoke to had given.

"Thanks man, I owe you one" He replied

"Anytime" Jonathan walked off and headed back to the helipad. Again none of the guards even bothered to question him; it was almost too easy Jonathan thought to himself. He radioed Carrington at the same spot before.

"Dark to Carrington" Jonathan waited for a response

"Carrington here" Carrington replied in about 10 seconds

"Check this out" Jonathan unfolded the remote in the Camspy once more and pressed the button as Natasha instructed him to. Carrington then listened to the recording, after it was finished Carrington sits back in his chair for a moment.

"What should I do?" Jonathan asked

"Clearly the Skedar aren't going to attack dataDyne but what neither Elvis nor I can understand is why they made an alliance with dataDyne in the first place" Carrington said "Also it is obvious that Cassandra's move to the top was done by some kind of kidnapping, but we'll worry about that later, as for now find the dataDyne labs that are said to be somewhere hidden on the bottom floors and bring back photos or samples of their latest technology, be careful though the guards are probably more protective of the bottom floors so your disguise may not last, Carrington out" Carrington clicked off the radio

Jonathan headed back the way he came once more, and waiting for the lift. He entered and it shut for him. He pressed ground floor on the switch and the glass lift headed down the floors he looked at another lift come up from the other side. He looked at the person inside and the person inside the other one looked back, and both recognised each other straight away. It was Terrance. Terrance fired his DY357 and the glass shattered around Jonathan as he drew his CMP 50 and returned the fire but by that time he was out of range and within 10 seconds the alarms were sounding. Jonathan drew his Magnum and 2 guards on the bottom floor fired but Jonathan ducked and shot them both with 2 well aimed shots. He headed down the large stairway but was only met by 4 other guards at the bottom.

"Hey it's him" one of them said and fired their weapons but Jonathan had already started a retreat, hiding behind the steel pillar as the shots harmlessly bounced against it.

He jumped down where the 2 guards previously were. As the 4 guards caught up and fired at Jonathan he walked backwards firing off a few shots and leaned against the wall but as he did the wall turned around. Before Jonathan's eyes was a straight corridor, doors on both the left and right hand sides, there were no guards in sight at all judging by the sounds he heard this must have been the lab that Daniel was talking about. He knew it would only be a minute if he was lucky before they worked out what had happened. He walked down the corridors and entering the final room on the right just as a random guess knowing he'd only have time to look at one room. All Jonathan saw was a weapon with a notebook beside it; it looked just like the CMP 50. He made a quick scan of the notebook

The CMP100 at this point is capable of locking onto targets and track them, although only 2 at one time. We are hoping that the technicians in the other room are able to double the clip size. If they succeed this weapon will make billions in profits, increase the efficiency of our guards and bring dataDyne one step closer to the top. Work on the laser…

That was all Jonathan could read before he could hear the guards coming for him, he took the weapon and the notebook. He blasted the guards who were all crowded around the door with his Magnum. He ran out and pushed against the wall once more and it spun around. The alarm was still going off. He shot the glass out through the front door, and there were about 3 guards which Jonathan dealt with easily.

"Not the planned escape Jonathan but well done" Carrington said

"Thanks, I thought Terrance would expect me to escape through the rooftop" Jonathan said and Carrington laughed

"You two always did try to outsmart each other but you always won. I guess some things never change" Carrington said and Jonathan continued to run watching a hovercopter circle pointlessly around the building. "We are sending Natasha out to get you, she has a new hover car thing she wants try out" Carrington continued

"Thanks" Jonathan replied

Within 2 minutes she had arrived, it looked something like a Ferrari from somewhere in the 90's.

"Nice car" Jonathan stopped running and jumped in the car

"Thanks, did you bring back my Camspy?" Natasha asked pressing a button to draw machine guns from the sides to repel any pursuers.

"Yeah I did" Jonathan handed her the device

"Excellent, I knew I could count on you" Natasha replied and Jonathan smiled as the car floated a little above the ground, they didn't want to fly too high to keep out of sight of the dataDyne Hovercopter.

They drove on for a few kilometres and Natasha looked back, brushing her beautiful long light brown hair backwards.

"Not that they ever gave chase but I think we lost them" Natasha said "Shall we celebrate?" Natasha asked stopping the car.

"I guess" Jonathan replied and Natasha pressed another button and two glasses appeared, and they filled with champagne.

"To your success; and all of those to come" Natasha raised her glass

"One can hope" Jonathan also raised his



Meanwhile at the Carrington Institute…

"You know I'd say she likes him" Grimshaw said

"Hehe, it's cute. Humans react the same way Maians do" Elvis replied as they were looking over a computer screen through a camera installed in the rear vision mirror

"Okay that's enough let them be" Carrington turned off the computer

"Awww" was both Elvis and Grimshaw's reply, they sounded like little kids just after their parents had said no to ice cream.
