Chapter 7 At Headquarters
They landed on a circular pad in a dark room. "This way," Bogg pointed to corner of the room and pushed Jeff's back so he would move in the right direction. As soon as they stepped off the pad, another Voyager fell from the sky and Jeff understood why Bogg had made him move so quickly. They each had to clear the area so the next Voyager could arrive.
The atmosphere was friendly, but tense, as the Voyagers greeted each other. When they greeted Phineas, they pointed to Jeffrey, who was introduced to so many of them that he knew he'd never remember them all. Despite the apparent seriousness of the situation, the other voyagers were cordial, and even friendly as Bogg introduced him as his partner.
"Let's start this gathering, shall we?" came a familiar voice, and Jeff saw Trevor Dillon climb up onto a stage with a podium. Everyone was immediately quiet. "When we met 3 days ago, I informed you that we had detected an unauthorized user inside the omni control system. None of the omni's we tested at that time showed signs of tampering, but I warned you to use extreme caution in the field." He paused and glanced at Phineas, then leaned down and whispered, "I need to see you as soon as I'm done."
Bogg nodded as Trevor continued.
"The access portal has finally been analyzed and the omni signature was verified. Voyager Drake appeared to gain a brief, unauthorized access to the system. The only glitch we've been able to find is that we lost the tracking on Voyager Bogg's omni for several days. Now that we have him here, we'll be analyzing his omni memory recorder to see if it holds any clues. We don't know what Drake might have done, but I wanted all of you to know the latest information. As always, we are continuing to track you all, and will retrieve you if there are any unusual occurrences. Until we have something more, that's all, except that we should be expecting Drake to try to disrupt the time stream." He climbed down and made his way toward Phineas.
"Phineas, where were you for the past 4 days?" Trevor asked.
Jeff and Phineas looked at each other, each thinking the same thing.
"Drake's out to get Bogg," Jeffrey blurted out, and reached up to squeeze Bogg's arm. "You have to protect him!" Jeff pleaded.
"Let's get your omni analyzed..."
Suddenly, and without warning, Phineas and Jeffrey disappeared.
Trevor Dillon reacted first. "This is a Code One, I want them tracked, and any other signals jammed. Everyone is on this, maximum effort, I want them back!" he shouted and every voyager present moved quickly toward the Control Room, ready for orders.
