"Joanna, wake up!" Jonathan yelled, and turned on the lights. "You need to get up!"
"It's only 5:30. How about five more hours?" Joanna replied.
"How about a drink?" Jonathan grabbed the pitcher of fruit punch on the end table near her bed and dumped it on her.
"Ah! Jonathan! That's cold!" Joanna yelled. She fell out of bed, then slowly got up, dusting herself off.
"Well, as long as I'm up, I might as well get dressed," she grumbled.
"Uh, you might want to go to the bathroom first. It seems to be that time of month."
Joanna looked down. "You dirty son of a bitch!"
Jonathan laughed as he ran out of the room, narrowly missing a lamp being thrown at him.

"Sorry to wake you this early, Jo," Carrington began as she came into his office. As usual, he didn't wait for any reply. "Just because the dataDyne building is gone, doesn't mean our problems with them are gone as well." The holographic picture of a man appeared behind Carrington. He looked to be in his thirties, black hair, with a beard and mustache. "This man is William Faww. He is an ex-astronaut who had a close relationship with Cassandra de Vries. When she was captured, he quit his job and searched the planet, with no luck, of course. After a couple months, everyone he knew lost contact with him."
"Why are you telling me all of this?" Joanna asked.
"Joanna, this man has revived the dataDyne Corporation. We aren't sure how he got the money or the support. Jonathan is prepared to infiltrate the organization. He got this video last night." He turned a television on and pushed "play" on the DVD. It started playing, and it showed William making a speech at his desk in the new dataDyne building.
"As you all know, the dataDyne Corporation was destroyed two years ago, by the Carrington Institute, led by Daniel Carrington. Cassandra de Vries went missing the same day her building collapsed, which was not by coincidence. I know Daniel must have killed Cassandra himself, trying to destroy dataDyne. It seemed as though he had the world convinced he was doing this for the good of mankind. However, I, realizing that this man wants no less than world domination, decided to put a stop to him. That is why I need you to join. Together, we can stop this man, before he kills more people for his evil plans." The tape stopped.
"He's showing this to all of his recruits," Carrington said. "He knows what really happened, of course, but wants to make people believe that we are evil and they are good."
"It looked like he did a pretty good job to me," Joanna said, dumbfounded at what she had seen.
Carrington ignored her. "You should go to Grimshaw now. He said he would have more information about Mr. Faww."

Grimshaw sat down and began typing. "Hmm, let's see. William Faww. Age 39. Astronaut for NASA until 2 years ago. He quit the day after Cassandra was captured by the Skedar. His last mission was a week before that. He sent a satellite into space….
"This satellite held devastating power. It could point a beam of light at Pluto. NASA was going to use this for space research, but Faww gained control of it through strong associates and bribes, even though he didn't work there any longer. We don't know what he's using the satellite for, though."
Joanna stared at the picture of the satellite on Grimshaw's computer. "Very interesting. Now, what would a man like William Faww want with a satellite and the planet farthest away from the sun?"
