Zach began thinking out a plan. He usually had blueprints and 3-D maps before a mission. But Renaldo didn't think this was worth it. "Maybe if I ask real nice." Zach pulled out his comm device and switched it on. But instead of the usual classy start-up noise and logo, the screen remained blank. Zach stared at it for a while, until: Hello, Zach. "What?! You!" I know what you're attempting, Zach. I'm afraid I can't let you continue. The screen went blank. Zach wasn't sure what ALICE meant. But he found out soon enough. He saw a second set of tracks ahead that fed into the tracks his train was on. In the distance, he heard a train whistle.
