In the middle of Titan's land, which looked like dessert, William kept walking. The rope was so long that after a while, William still couldn't find its end. Suddenly, a roar of a jet thundering the air and shocked William. He than turned back facing to where the sounds came from.

"What is that?" A spectrum of light just flew away from Titan but William couldn't tell what it was.

"Bring this material to be re-used." Andel and Jack were standing at the end of the dock site. They had to work together to fix the gate,and made sure it would be safe like it was before.

"I kept wondering, for a single personnel, you guys dare to do such a damage." Said Andel as he predict the gate won't be fixed soon.

"Would it help if I tell you why?" Jack cynically mocked Andel.

"I am not in a mood to debate." Andel also replied with ignorance.

"I am surprised! You two can get along even just for a while." Hugh Tygrienne came from behind, stopping their small debates. Also, Adam Bowen was there, alongside Hugh.

"Lord Tyrienne?" Andel saluted and bowed down. Jack also bowed a little. It seemed a little disappointment from his face.

Adam Bowen were just looking around without any greetings.

"We do as best as we can, Lord. We hope it will be fixed sooner." While Andel were explaining about the situation, Dolche Strong then called Adam to gave him a news.

"Madam Dolche, something wrong?" Adam spoke and wondered the others. The wondered got worse as they saw an annoyed gesture from Adam. "Fine, I understand. Sir Jack, we need to go to your office. Sir Andel, please joined us as well. I am sorry, Lord Tygrienne, something urgent happened."

All of them left the dock site in hurry. Adam briefed the other three as they walked the hallway, "They turned down the tunnel."

"What!?" Andel shouted and with furious he tried to suggest an ambush. "We need to act immediately, Sir Adam! I'm going to assembly my personnel." With all his furious, Andel took one step away from Adam before Adam paused his call.

Jack was apprehensive as he thought Hugo might had crossed the line. "We should call Hugo first." He spoke calmly as part of himself felt guilty.

"A call for what? There's no time to do such an useless thing! Sir Adam, I should assembly an army and prepare an ambush. I can finish this before the light turned off!" Andel was about to walked away but stopped by Adam.

"Just assembly your personnel. Don't do anything just yet. Sir Jack, let's go to your office. I want to hear what Hugo's want. But consider this is my final warning. He leave us no choice but to ambush them. You know what does it mean?" Jack didn't reply anything but walked to his office instead.

"SIr Jack, if you conspire with Hugo by any means, you and Hugo will be punished to death. Do you understand me?" As Adam threw a serious threat to him, he stopped his step. "I know."

As Jack and Adam entered Jack's office, Jack turned on his command controller and called Hugo. It didn't take any long before Hugo answered. "Hugo!" He was confused as he didn't know what to do.

"Hugo! How dare you!?" With all his anger, Andel shouted out loud. "Tell me where you are, and I promise you I will shoot you to death!"

Hugo didn't give any attention to Andel. Instead, he gave the terminal an ultimatum. "We haven't do any damage to the mines. Although it may impact the survivability of the terminal. So here is my offer. We can trade the terminal for the ransom. The trade can be done at the nearest terminal. And it has to be BOSU Unit to deliver the ransom. Otherwise, the deal is off."
