Mission objective: Travel to Earth 4 and meet with Captain Jessica Haines for briefing.

A warehouse in New York was a broken room to Earth 4. Jack suffered from the friction when the room cycled. Jessica was located in the local command centre. Regency required information on nanotube technology from Earth 6 to help with the fight against the aliens on Earth 4. The mission was to travel to Earth 6, board an ark and acquire samples and data on the technology. A broken room on the asteroid tethering the orbital elevator on Earth 6 connected with Earth 4. The plan was to capture a Karathi ship to get to the asteroid.

A Karathi forward base in Brazil was identified as a good location from which a ship could be acquired. The team flew south to an airfield in Brazil and then a helicopter to the rendezvous near the hive. The main assault team staged an attack on the hive as a diversion while the ship was attacked. On the way to the ship Brian approached two naked and pregnant native women who were Karathi incubators and was lucky not to be stung by one of the larva when they burst out. [Schedule Brian for additional Earth 4 training].

Several Karathi were shill guarding the ship. When attacked a flying Hai-kio appeared and attacked as well. They were destroyed after a fierce fight. Jaroslaw used his opening ability to gain access to the ship. Jessica eventually worked out how to pilot the ship up into orbit and landed in a cavern on the asteroid after several attempts.

The team put on spacesuits but Brian panicked when they left the ship and only regained his senses when the room cycled. The episode caused him to use half his oxygen reserve however. In the Cavern was girders and support struts for the ark construction. Jack and Gideon struggled to control themselves in zero g but were eventually helped to the side of the cavern and the team made it to an airlock.

Jaroslaw opened the airlock with his meridian ability. Jack intimidated two security guards in the corridor beyond and they were overpowered and tied up in the airlock. Wearing their uniforms Jack and Brian went and found another two computer science technician uniforms.

The group went to the materials lab where the nanotube technology was to be found. Brian and Jack relieved the guard outside the lab while Jaroslaw and Gideon went inside. The nanotube sample was found but it was in a large shielded container.

While waiting outside the child Sensi appeared. He stated 'the dark exile has returned on Earth 1 and is gathering his forces. The group should return immediately.' He advised a broken room was in the alpha elevator. It was decided to complete the mission first.

The technicians in the lab were fast talked into releasing the sample by convincing them it needed to be taken for a safety inspection. One of the commanders from the bridge came down and was talked into approving the transfer.

The sample was left in a storage room near the airlock then the group went up to the command deck. Jaroslaw and Gideon talked their way into the server room and Gideon intimidated one of the young technicians into copying the data onto a memory stick. While waiting Jaroslaw took an opportunity to take a small computer pad that was lying on a cabinet.

They then returned to the airlock and waited there until the broken room was due to cycle. Gideon suffered from nausea when the room cycled and vomited into his suit. They were picked up by the ship and returned to the command centre in New York from where they returned to Earth 1.
