It is 1:15 a.m. and Angus, who is in charge of the activities in control room, listen to Louise’s voice on the speakers, Sharon is also there talking with Leonor and Phyllis is sleeping on a couch.

Angus: “this is the control room, Angus speaking, are you there Louise?”

Sharon: (running toward the instruments) “Is her…, LOUISE honey are you okay?”

Louise: “Sharon, baby, yes it is I, we are fine but the ship can’t fly at the moment”

Sharon: “tell us how could we help?”

Louise: “I will try to carry on with the mission; I need, you guys, to watch my back”

Sharon: “I will check with the others”

Phyllis is now up and beside Sharon.

Angus: “we better gather the other ones here, Phyllis; may you wake up the others?”

Phyllis: “I’ll do right now”

Phyllis and Angus left Sharon alone to talk to Louise and were to look for the others.

Outside the room

Leonor: (teasing) “Interesting, ‘Angus speaking’, this is not your personal hphone, you know, Vince wouldn’t do that, he would identify himself later”

Angus: (flushed) “sorry is my first time in transmission mode… hum, I see, Alice inherit that sarcasm from you”

Louise: “tell me, Sharon, how are Tina and Bette”

Sharon: “they are fine but worry for you”

Louise: “did you tell Tina about this?”

Sharon: “of course not, but this daughter of you is so smart, she read between the lines when we were talking”

Louise: “is she at home?”

Sharon: “no she is in her group at the university housing”

Louise: “is she with Bette?”

Sharon: “oh yes, as a matter of fact, I talk to her in Bette’s bedroom”

Louise: “… what was she doing there…? are they close?”

Sharon: “I believe they are… and very close”

Louise: “what make you think in that way?”

Sharon: “when Phyllis and I arrived at their house, they were together in Bette’s office and the door was locked, and after they opened it they looked guilty, disheveled and the cushions were on the floor, and Tina begged to talk to you”

Louise: “… Oh God…, I should talk to them before coming”

Noise in the room.

Sharon: “the others are coming, we talk later about this”

Louise: “yes…”
