Becky.  Exactly two minutes later, he reconnected.
    “It has been two minutes, Becky.  Have you returned to your computer?” he texted.
    “Almost, I’m washing my hands,” she texted. 
    Moments later, she text again, “I’m back at my computer now.  However, I can’t keep talking to you.  I’m close and need to concentrate on this. 
    “Also, with the men all coming down early, many of them don’t have proper identification.  I’m going to need to work on that, too.  I’ve been up for twenty hours already.  If I don’t concentrate, I may start making mistakes.  The every fifteen-minute check-in is no longer necessary.  Text me when the shuttle pods have landed, and you’re all on the road to the rendezvous point.”
    “Yes, Becky, I will do that.  Get some rest.  You can’t help us if you harm yourself,” replied Ishme.
    “Don’t worry, Dad.  I’ll be good.” 
    Before he could answer, she cut the connection, replacing it with another function.  She’d turned on a third computer to run additional, simultaneous functions.  She had noticed a slowdown in processor speed on the first computer.  She didn’t want to lock up her system and have to reboot.
    Ishme Namkin was worried about the female Becky.  According to Arjun, she lived alone.  Arjun had related to all of them the story of how, with one phone call from Addie, after they had first come to this world, she had let six Nephilim stay in her home.  She had then provided the necessary papers to allow them to move unrestrictedly around this planet.
    Since he was now wearing the only pair of glasses with an embedded receiving lens interface, he couldn’t contact the other guards.
    They, however, could send him text messages using their BEIPs.  He knew that Jett was working on technology that would allow BEIPs to receive, as well as send.  It would be as if they had mental telepathy, passing messages from mind to mind - if he could get it to work. 
    Ishme knew Arjun was still awake, waiting for the shuttle landing; he would talk to him about his concerns.  Walking through the house, he checked in on Kai, who was once again on guard duty outside the Queen’s bedroom. 
    Then he went to the guest room to see how Ari was recovering from his wounds.  Rapha had treated him quickly after he had been injured.  Rapha had removed the foreign projectiles, which he had been told were bullets, and then used a cell regenerator to repair the internal damage, along with a surgical suturing wand.  Ari would need to remain immobile for a few hours, up to a day, to allow the healing to take hold.  He would feel residual pain for the next week or so before being completely healed.
    “Rapha,” he said in a soft voice, poking his head around the door, “How is he doing?”
    Rapha looked up from where he had been dozing in his chair beside the bed.  “He does well; though we should keep him calm and take care he does not move for the next few hours.  I don’t want him tearing my sutures,” he stated.
    “Don’t worry; Kai will sit on him if he has to.  We’ll all help him understand he needs to give his body time to recover.  I’m going downstairs to speak to Arjun.  Do you have any messages?” asked Ishme.
    “No, I have no messages.  I’m going to try to rest until it’s time to leave.  The last months in this house have been very nice; I will miss it.”
    “Have you spoken to your brothers; did they meet your mate at the hospital?  It was your mate that was operating on Justyn, was it not?” asked Ishme.
    “Yes, they have met her,” answered Rapha with a sigh.  “She is being difficult.  Catherine does not wish to be joined, even though we know she wants us.  We are hoping to change her mind; Zephyr thinks something is bothering her.  She did agree to let Delpha and Zephyr stay at her house for the rest of the night. 
    “Rune is planning to remain at the hospital, helping Jalen and Jett keep watch over Grace and
