"Yes, I do!" spoke Gary; "let's just say that my people are coming as soon as possible; which is when they respond." He then turned towards Alto:

"Kid, I'm going to give you the key to my private helicopter; I can buy several more once I acquire the remnants of Aperture Corp." And with that, he gave the 17-year old a small bronze key. "Said helicopter is, of course, at the helipad, and I ask you and the others to take it right now." He then looked sadly at Alto.

"Goodbye for now, kid."

Constantine, now back from his sojourn, got the news on his smartphone just before he entered the apartment.

"Hey, Elena," he spoke, "I'm going to meet up with Healing Spore and William - they're alive, just in another safehouse - in order to prepare for the assault. Before I go, I wanna ask..." he was sheepish now, "...can I name the operation?" He already had something in mind: Operation [i]Brennus[/i].
