  At the Beach House, Joshua calls Daniel. “Daniel, Evan should be at the top within two minutes.”

  “Ok, Joshua. Would you have some of the staff finish getting his room ready? Then have others get the recuperation pod and come with me to the portal, please.”

  “The room is finished and the pod is just now coming around the corner. We’re all ready to go with you to the portal entrance whenever you’re ready, Daniel.”

  “I must say, I like my efficient staff. So he should be there at about the same time that we arrive?”

  “Within a half minute.”

  “Great timing, Joshua, let’s go.”
