42 Backup

I shot her a grin, that green glint in her eyes told me everything that I needed to know. She had found something on the old Clan Pren servers, and hopefully it was going to lead us straight to what we wanted to know - where Pax and Akash were, and how to get them out.

"It took a bit of doing, some jumping through servers to pick up the trail, but in the end… Yeah, I managed to find something," She said. "I think… and I can't be sure until we actually go there… but I'm pretty sure I have the location of the Clan Pren headquarters."

My heart started beating faster and faster. I had been hoping for something big, but the actual location of Pren's hideout? That was a surprising twist of fate.

"Where are they based, then?" I asked, "And is it somewhere that we're going to be able to get to?"

"It's not something we're going to be able to do alone," she shook her head. "We're going to need to go back to base for this, get authorisation for backup."
