Drifter finally stopped at 40,000 meters (about 25 miles) in altitude and deployed her recently made sensor array which floated above her like a skeletal umbrella. She charged it up once more and began a focused spirial search pattern that swept out past Stockton, Sacramento, Ukiah and beyond San Jose.

She hated losing and in this particular case felt some responsibility for her teammate's disappearance. Because of this her normally competitive nature was was augmented by a strange desire to explain to Shiver that she was no competitor for Micheal's romantic attentions. 

She dismissed such thoughts knowing they divided her attention needlessly and entered a Zen like state where all that existed was the earth and it's magnetic field. If this had not been so critical a task she might have allowed herself a moment to appreciate the view as beneath her the surface took on a surreal state of appearance and the magnetic fields sang in their celestial tones but this was a mission and nothing mattered beyond it's reason for being.

[b]"Sir I have Asset Drifter stationary at forty kilometers relative altitude, magnetic signature shows she's presently in Type seven mode of operation"[/b] says tech officer Stiles to Captain White

The MI6 officer's right eyebrow peaks like that of a popular fictional character his curiosity engaged
[b]"What the devil have they got her up to now?"[/b] asked the graying officer rhetorically 

He walked over to the sensor officer's station an looked over his shoulder. He was at first worried by her power level till he confirmed she was merely holding a frequency rather than modulating  through multiple frequencies.

~No Danger of whiplash effect ~ he thought remembering her resent scare. The last time he'd observed Drifter using this trick was when she tracked the progress of HMS Sandray at 600 meters depth and 60 kilometers range. The dam Meta had pinpointed the new attack sub so closely that the Fishing trawler acting as hunter could have dropped pennies on her tower. Here she was three levels higher and sustaining looking for something and what it was he hadn't a clue.

He walked over an picked up the dedicated line and said 
[b]"Sir we have a potential stage three alert "[/b] to whomever waited on the other end
