[@Ashevelendar]"I thought about the computers too.  The only problem I see is that if you do anything big they might think they are under attack. Slaves are one of the most valuable things there, and they'll want to keep their enemies from taking them.  Unless you could make it look like a simple malfunction.  Maybe a server crash or a glitch of some sort that ties up the slave buyers when they register in eight or so hours? If they get annoyed enough, they might have to call security."

[@Letter Bee]Samuel saw that the collar made Alexander uncomfortable.  "Don't worry, Alexander" he said.  We won't let them take you again.  "I think Ascot should come with us, though.  No one suspects a kid, the children will trust him more, and he's passed the basic training.  Besides, I started going on supply runs when I was his age, and if we pull this off, that's all the Titanans will see this as."

Alexander looked at Ascot, prepared to ask if he had thought this through.

"It's going to be okay," said the younger boy. "You're going to protect me, right?"

"Of course I will," the soldier said. "But...please don't scare me by being reckless, okay?"

"Besides," spoke Ascot, "I've seen what would happen in a vision. However, I'm not revealing it yet, because if I do, you guys might change what I predicted early enough that it might become invalid."

"Even so," said Alexander, "stay close to me, and inform people of any complications."
