20 hours before:

"This is scout leader Glaetse at your service commander Glubyu." Looking at the hologram of his scout leader, who like him were a Stint but far scrawnier in body, the runt of the litter is what he always considered him. Glubyu asked "can the eggs be launched from where you are?" Nodding Glaetse spoke "it's possible commander but for a better result, we should wait until we're closer to there orbit."

"Why... if it's possible now, what's going to make the big difference later?" Glubyu asked "it's their cloud coverage, we plan on using it to cover large areas, by mimicking the patterns we've studied, from their atmospheres weather" Glaetse replied. "what's the purpose of that Glaetse?"

"Well commander by using the clouds we can.." cutting Glaetse off Glubyu said "get to the point!" swallowing Glaetse said "it will better spread the pollen size eggs through its rain droplets, while making it less visible to see those carried by the wind."

"How long to initiate this?" asked Glubyu "we'll have perfect range in 3 hours commander, but once we break cover, we'll be in clear view of there space station, chances are very high, once they see us they'll send word back to their planet."

  "Where's the scientist, shouldn't he be with you?" "He's checking on the preparations for the eggs commander." "Put him on the comms." Glubyu ordered.

Scientist Dah'ehla, prepped the machine with the last of the growth serum, injecting the eggs. He watched as the serum flowed through the miniature tubes and into the eggs.

The sound of Glaetse voice coming from the speakers, momentarily distracted him. But then had him fully focused on the comms monitor screen, as the image of the commander came on screen.

"Dah'ehla" Glubyu said looking at the scientist, it was always hard to focus properly on the face of someone from the Authhz race, because you never know which face to look at, just like the Eihx they had four eyes and arms. But that's where the similarities stop, the Eihx were 13ft or 15ft tall while the Authhz couldn't grow pass 4ft. Their eyes weren't on one face either, on top of its forehead was a second face, looking as if a small head was growing out from his larger round jowl like one.

    Straightening himself Dah'ehla spoke "commander is there something you need of me?" has he spoke the small hoops embedded into his high cheek bones jiggled. "I do indeed, what of that project you were working?" Dah'ehla scrunched his forehead in thought trying to fathom what the commander was referring to.

   The simple motion, caused the effect of a scowl to appear on the smaller face a top his forehead. Like a lightbulb coming on realization dawned on Dah'ehla, "d-do you mean... the grakels?" "Yes those whatever you may call it, I want you to assist in launching it at the orbiting space station."

    "But commander they've never been tested I've no idea w..."
"I do not care about your tests Dah'ehla, what I care about are results, and to gain results one needs to take action! Leaning forward Glubyu punctuated each word he spoke. I expect next when we speak I'll hear good news." Both Dah'ehla and Glaetse were left sweating has the commanders image vanished from the screens.

NewYork City 

8 hours before:

   Sage balled her shoulder length dark hair into a bun, adding a pair of dark sunglasses with a baseball hat, she tried to make her features has plane as possible. Enzo was out and doing reconnaissance on Xibertec.

this was the only time she could use to get away from her guards, with Enzo gone the other two were easy to get rid of. Grabbing the knapsack from her suitcase, she packed all she would need then head for the door.

Slipping out her room quietly, she checked for both her guards. Both men were out side on the patio having a smoke, quickly she left the suite and made her way to the hotel lobby, ducking her head to avoid any cameras from picking up her face, she pulled the straps on her knapsack bringing it closer to her shoulders, while walking out the doors like a tourist ready for sightseeing.
