We arrived at our base of operations late Wednesday afternoon. It was a homey place, a small hotel room with a window overlooking the city. A bit cramped for 3 people, as pointed out by my colleagues,  but they quickly accepted upon my explanation that it was the only place in the area below $8000 a day where we could be sure not to be listened in on and that you could trust not to have dirt in the food.

I called on a meeting in the main... Well, only room. We had to come up with plans for our infiltration of the base.
"What do you even plan to do once we're in?" Carter asked.
"Well, there isn't much we can do. We can't enlist because we're too young. We can, however, follow them to each battle location, and fight along side them. Also, if we figure out the location of some of the starfish's bases, we can lead a frontal assault!" I explained.
" Sounds risky. And dangerous. Cool." Eddie said.
"We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning." I said.

Before we turned in for the night, Carter approached me.
"John, something's been bothering me. About that Picard dude. What does his riddle mean? Should we investigate?"
"Maybe," I said " I've been wondering about that too. I think we'll worry about that later." 
"Good night" he said.
"Good night." I replied.
