The first team of agents lead Marco in to the base. He was the first of the Animorphs to arrive. The lead him through several winding hall ways, passing several security check points till finally stopping at one of many doors in a long hallway. Again one of the homeland security agents swiped as security card and punched in a code to unlock the door.
In the room was an oval table with small computer consoles built in to it in front of each of the swiveling desk chairs around the table. There was a holographic projector at the center of the table, obviously this looked to be some kind of briefing room. "The others should be arriving shortly, please wait here." One of the men said.

Marco glanced about the room. Great, he was the first to arrive, no one to banter with. He made his way into the room, studying the computers and the holographic projector. Whatever was going on was big, and he had a feeling he knew more about it than the homeland security people did, if it had anything to do with the Yeerks returning.

Cassie waited anxiously until they reached their destination. She had stayed silent on the whole trip over. Now that the doors had opened, she felt relief. "We're here," she stated as a matter of factly.

Jake hadn't liked the fact that they couldn't open the doors from the inside. It was like they were being captured and he hated it. Though it was nice when they finally arrived. "Yeah, we are," he replied back to Cassie. They had held hands the whole way, not really saying anything. "C'mon, we shouldn't keep them waiting"

Cassie nodded. "You're right." She stepped out of the car and then said, "Where are we going now?" She wasn't about to let go of Jake, but knowing Jake was with her, she felt a little better, and she definitely felt safe. SO she looked at both of the men as she asked the question.

"A briefing room has been prepared." One of the men answered as they began to lead Jake and Cassie through the various security check points in the building, heading deeper in to the base, and down several levels down to the bomb shelter which still looked simply like long halls and offices.
Finally stopping at one of the rooms one of the men slid his card and punched in a code before opening up the door to the same briefing room Marco was waiting in.

The group of men with Rachel and Tobias were not far behind. Tobias still had some residual hawk-induced claustrophobia and it agitated him a little more than he already was. He was glad though that Rachel as well as the others were there and that he wasn't alone.

Rachel fidgeted on their way over. She looked over to Tobias, and smiled. She held onto his hand. Then she glared at the men. It made her feel better.

The two men lead Rachel and Tobias down to the briefing room, through all the security check points, down to the same room the others had been taken. Once all of them were with in the secure briefing room the door was shut, leaving only the Animorphs in the room for several minuets.

"Jake, my man. You know any more than I do about what's going on here?" Marco took a seat in one of the swivel chairs as he watched Jake and Cassie enter, He began seeing just how fast he could spin the chair in a circle, some people never grow out of childish habits, it seems.
He highly doubted that Jake and Cassie knew anything more than he did, but it was worth asking. As the chair spun wildly in a circle, Tobias and Rachel arrived at the room, "Hey! The gang's all here!"
Well, almost the entire group was there. They were missing a very key Andalite member of their team. But he wasn't going to be the one to spoil everyone's mood by reminding them of that fact.

Jake followed the men through all the security checkpoints. He really hated having to go through all this, but it couldn't be helped. No one was going to listen to him at the moment.
They soon reached a room, and Marco happened to be there already. He shook his head when he asked if he knew what was going on. He couldn't help but smirk as Marco spun in the chairs though. He also watched as Rachel and Tobias entered as well. "Yeah, we are. Now only if we knew why we were brought here," he said.

Walking in the room with Jake, Cassie, too, saw Marco already being there. "Having fun, Marco?" She asked watching him go around in circles. "I need to stop watching, you're making me dizzy." She turned around when Tobias and Rachel came in. "Hey, you two." She looked around the building, unsure as to why they were there.

"Hey, Cassie. Hey, Jake. Marco...you acting like a child again? I expect that from Eva, but from you now? I knew you did this years ago." Rachel batted her eyelashes at him, and then looked back at Jake. "So, no one has a clue as to why we were brought here?"

"I'd be surprised if he ever did grow up" Tobias said, making a half-hearted attempt at ribbing Marco a little. Anything to forget for a moment the fact he was nervous about this. Tobias also noticed the absence. "I wish Ax were here...mostly because it would mean he's alive and free." he said with a sigh.

It took only a few minuets before a man wearing a military dress blues opened the door and stepped in to the briefing room. He said nothing at first and simply walked over to the head of the table. Typing a few things up on the computer there, the holographic projector came on showing a 3D image of the special prison that Esplin 9466 had been held in.
There was a very large obvious hole that had been blasted in to the prison and the small Yeerk pool where Esplin was to live out his days, blind and alone, was completely drained, with no Yeerk in sight. "You've been brought here for your own protection. As of 1441 hours last night an unknown ship broke in to Esplin 9466 prison and assumidly made off with the prisoner."
Her man's gaze shifted around the room, seeing to be judging the Animorphs reactions to the news. "We've contacted the Andalite home world and they're sending the dome ship Derrishoul to help investigate the incident."
