Lieutenant Artemis entered the ops-booth looking a little shaky.

"So, Foaly, what do you know about these trolls?"

"Huh, nothing, apart from the fact they're made out of stone."

"Anything we could use to find everyone?"

"Yeah, a new commander, Holly's alright, but she was never trained for the post. Trouble Kelp was Rooots set replacement. Oh yeah, just remembered."

Foaly tossed Artemis a shiny badge, it was lieutenant, (?) class.

"What's the question mark for? And since when were you a lieutenant, I thought you were just a consultant."

" Didn't Commander Short tell you, each commander of the LEP, is allowed to have a small task force, of approximately 5 people, they are answerable to know one but that commander, and are higher ranking than other fairies of the same rank, if you see what I mean. I used to be Root's lieutenant, then he promoted me to captain, Root didn't find anyone to fill my old position, so I hung onto my old badge."

"Why didn't you take command then?"

"Not allowed to, when the commander retires or leaves for some reason, their special command loses their position and perks, unless they are members of the real LEP as well. So I'm a civilian until Holly reinstates me. That was how I managed to get the Ops Booth built to my paranoid specifications. You are now part of Holly's secret service. Have fun."

The current commander came in.

"Oh and Foaly?"

"Yes Ma'm?"

"Your reinstated in my S S, though you are only a lieutenant. I don't think either you or Fowl should be able to command the other. Artemis keeps the badge cos otherwise he wont be able to get anything done, everyone knows I'd never get rid of you Foaly. And don't worry because though you aren't at your old rank, I'm the only one left whos higher than you 2."

"Yes Ma'm."

"Any difference of opinion, you come to me for the final decision."

"Yes commander."

"Yes Holly."

Holly wheeled around.

"Fowl you're in the LEP now, I am your superior officer, and you shall address me as such until I say otherwise.

She turned around and walked out.

Foaly muttered to Artemis,

"She's beginning to sound more like Julius every minute."

"I heard that!!!!!"

Came Hollys voice from outside.

******

(Outside)

She hadn't of course, but as soon as she said what she did, Holly had known what was coming; she grabbed the better of the two sets of wings and strapped them on.

~Frond, I can't cope with this shit~

She thought as she took off.

~I need Root back, or at least someone to make the tough decisions, someone used to command. ~

Holly flew to the tunnel entrances to Haven, supervising the lock-down, she couldn't let the trolls escape. The lesser LEP stations in the other cities could handle themselves for now.

(The current LEP headquarters)

"Are you sure Foaly?"

"Its worth a try, but if it works it'll only work once, so we better get on to Holly about it first."

"Agreed."

The two walked out into the relativily fresh air of haven.

Captain Vein shouted to them as they strode off looking for Holly.

"She's gone to oversee the closing of the tunnels."

Foaly stopped,

"There's only one way to make sure we make it to the gate in time."

"Um, I get to fly? No wait, it would take to long for me to learn how."

"Right, you need to ride me. Don't worry, I'm more comfortable than a horse."

Artemis climbed onto Foalys back.

"Um, is this the first time you've done this?"

Foaly took off at a canter and Artemis had to hold onto his chest tightly.

"Err, not personally."

He leapt over some fallen wreckage, almost causing the mud-boy to fly off.

"But I know someone who has and it didn't do him any harm."

"That's good to know, ow from your point of view."

Foaly leapt over another piece of wreckage and they arrived at the tunnel entrance, Holly was just about to fire up her wings.

"What are you two doing here?" She asked.

Artemis jumped off Foaly's back. He explained while Foaly got his breath back.

"I know you're missing commander Root, to be honest all of us our, and I can tell you seem to be having some difficulty with the command role."

"Hmph."

Foaly carried on the explanation.

"Well I've found a way, with a little help from Artemis, how we can get you an advisor, a man who's dealt with these things before, a man who's had experience in command."

"Really and who is this elf?"

"It's not an elf, nor a sprite nor a goblin."

"As much as we could use the help, we don't want another mud-man down here."

"Well technically he's not a mud-man, he's not even from this plain of existence. But once he's here the process is irreversible."

Artemis chimed in: "You might even say he's an ink man."

"I'll fly you two back to the booth, you can explain more fully there, strap yourself to my moon-belt"

The geniuses did as they were told and Holly was soon up in the air, headed towards the LEP headquarters.
