take a while to get them repaired and get the file tracker program running. I can only load the program from the main server room. Once the file tracker server program is up and running in the main server room you can connect to it in a wireless mode using a laptop with a file tracker application.”
    To connect to and use the file tracker in wireless mode with a laptop, the main file tracker server program needs to be running. The file tracker server program is installed into one of the servers in the main server room which have been damaged. File tracker won’t run on a wireless laptop if the server is down. File tracker is only used by the FBI; it’s a top secret program built by them.
    File tracker applications can only be installed on laptops if the laptops are connected to the server that’s running the file tracker server program. You can download file tracker applications onto laptops from the server. No backup copies have been made for the file tracker server program and it isn’t stored on any USB drives or DVDs. The only place where the file tracker server program is stored is in the server that’s damaged. The FBI LA branch is the only branch that has the file tracker server program.
    Joel says, “How long will it take you to get the file tracker up and running?”
    Michael says, “I don’t know, maybe eight or nine hours.”
    Joel says, “You call me when it’s up and running.”
    Michael says, “I will.”
    Joel hangs up the planet communicator and goes into an FBI jeep. Charles is in there, waiting for Joel; they’re going to go to LAPTS to head for the First Dome. The FBI have a personal transport ship in a hangar in LAPTS. Charles starts the jeep and sets off.
    Charles says to Joel, “If Connor is still alive do you really think he’ll go to Mars?”
    Joel says, “Connor is either going to try to show that file to somebody here or to somebody on the Red Planet. We need to have men in both places looking for him.”
    Joel’s planet communicator starts to ring. Joel answers, “Hello?”
    Vice President Eric Donald is riding along in a limousine with two other passengers and one driver in Washington DC. The two other passengers are National Security Advisor Richard Crosby and Military Chief of Staff Harold Turner. Eric and Richard are Caucasian and Harold is African-American. Harold is wearing a military uniform. Eric and Richard are wearing suits, shirts and ties. Eric Donald’s goal in life is to have the most power and the most money.
    Vice President Eric Donald is on the phone with Joel. He says in a panic, “I’ve just heard about a shooting in your building. What the fuck is going on?”
    Joel answers, “An agent called Connor Harper has downloaded the R-1 file.”
    Eric says, “Shit. Find that son of a bitch and kill him. After you kill him, we’ll wait for a while to let things quieten down and we’ll find out what the slugs know about us. After about six months, when things might have quietened down and the Clandarians don’t have a clue what we’re going to do, then we’ll go to the Big Rock to carry out our mission.”
    Joel says, “Sir, we need to go to the Glass Tomb tonight. If Connor shows the file to morphians in the CSB-R1 base they will find out about Space Drill.”
    Space Drill is a top-secret missile weapons facility somewhere in the Nevada Desert. Only a certain number of government workers know about Space Drill. Space Drill missiles are designed to launch and attack the Balaxian ships in space. The facility was originally designed for protection in case the inhabitants of Balaxia ever attacked Earth with rockets from their battle spaceships.
    Eric says, “How do you know that Harper will go to the CSB-R1 base with the file?”
    Joel says, “It’s possible that Connor might have been working with Carlton Jones, Ryan Clarke and Tom
