TIME TRAVELER: E209. Sopeha's Boss - Part 3

While Dylan, Karen and Bjorn discussed in the study, Sopeha went to the garage, where she had parked her spaceship, the Galaxa 3000.

She immediately boarded it, but before taking off, she grabbed his communication device and pressed a few buttons.

"Moonbase Beta, this is planet Earth, please answer."

"This is Moonbase Beta, come in," a friendly female voice replied.

"Hello, Zu, this is Sopeha, get me the captain, please."

"Right away."

A few beeps along with some static on the line was heard on the other end, and then the sound of a soft, nice male voice:

"Moonbase Beta, this is Guardian 1, come in, Sopeha."

Sopeha's gaze lit up at the sound of her boss's voice.

"Hello, stranger," she teased.

"Hey, Sop, nice to hear from you again, it's been a while..."

"It sure has".

Tell me, what news do you have for me?"

"It's good news this time. You're not going to believe it, but - I think I found him," she replied.

There was a short silence on the other end, accompanied by a sharp intake of breath, then the sweet male voice again, but more serious and with an almost imperceptible hint of anxiety.

"Are you sure?"

"Well, the data and story match: Robin Crane, 22 years old, alien DNA… It's definitely him. All that's missing is a picture, which I didn't ask for so as not to arouse suspicion, but I'll get one myself and send it to you. Right now, I'm heading for his location."

"Where are you at if I may ask?".

 

"In a place far to the North called Aurora Skies, year 2017. Planet Earth, obviously."

"Aurora Skies… Never heard of it. Anyway, do you know his exact whereabouts?"

"Well, I obtained his girlfriend's address by secretly scanning the minds of Bjorn's friends, Karen and Dylan. Sorry I broke the rules here, but I had to."

"That's okay, it was for a greater good."

"Definitely".

"Oh, by the way, these people are Robin's girlfriend's parents, they're asking for our help to take him to Lunar Lakes."

"He wants to go to Lunar Lakes?"

"Well, not him exactly, it's them who are arranging the trip, since, apparently, he doesn't know anything yet, he doesn't even know about his DNA. They found out first thanks to a Council document they found."

"I see…"

"Oh, and before you ask: no, I didn't tell them who you are, I didn't tell them anything about you that might give you away."

"Well done, no one must know anything about this yet, neither them nor Robin, okay?"

"Don't worry, I know you personally want to be the one to talk to him."

"That's right, it won't be easy, though, but I will… when the time is right. Now please get that image and send it to me as soon as you can."

"I will, don't worry, I'll also bring proof for the Alliance - if you authorize the trip to Lunar Lakes, that is."

"Not only do I authorize, but I will personally see to it that my… that Robin gets here safely."

"I thought so," Sopeha smiled. "Well, I'm off for now, I must complete my mission."

"Godspeed, Sop, and… thank you."

"My pleasure, 'Starman'. Over and out."
