Everything has changed! The EMDrive was in the hands of the Russians and the United States were naturally going to retaliate for the theft however the US government also needed someone to blame in the meantime. They had given Darius a billion dollars and in return all they received was a dead probe and a stolen EMDrive so Harris found himself sidelined when his boss finally returned to deal with the fallout. But one of the things they had to deal with were whether or not it had been the Russians that actually stole their technology.
Their spies and satellites hadn’t picked up a single thing and so they knew the EMDrive hadn’t been taken to Moscow. However, Liam had said that was the final destination. He said that Professor Croft had been clear when he said that the guards were going to take them to Moscow where they were supposedly going to start over. So Liam didn’t have any doubts about it being the Russians behind it all and he stuck to his story, yet once he had been dismissed, the Secretary of Defense had considered sending in some troops into Russia to double-check Liam’s story.
The Secretary didn’t have many options and his advisors were pushing for a show of strength. Yet, Grace said that there was another option. She said that they could use diplomatic channels to reach out to Russia before they did anything else and so she had been surprised when Harris told her that the Russians had closed all channels. Their rival country had refused to speak to them all together. So, Grace came up with a plan. She said that she knew the Russian diplomat and counted her as a friend so she thought that Katya would open up to her.
But Katya had been forced to speak to Grace undercover. She said that she knew about the theft of some object and that her government was being very secretive about what it was. So, Katya had asked Grace if she knew what it was though Grace demurred on the object and all she would tell her friend was that she should go home to her daughter while they were still time. And so, before they said their goodbyes, Katya said that the theft had something to do with Atlas. She didn’t know what Atlas was except it had been so important that Russians now wanted retribution.
So, Grace went back to work and she told them about everything minus Atlas. She had remembered Harris warning her about it and so she was afraid to let anyone know that she even knew the word. Though with a confirmation about Russia, the Secretary decided to send in the troops. He and his team had found out that the plan carrying the EMDrive had gotten caught in a storm and had been diverted to Serbia. So, the secretary had wanted to send the troops to Serbia and steal their own EMDrive back because he thought that was the only way to get things however Darius had another idea.
Darius’s meteorite that Liam used to make the EMDrive had merely been a piece of a much bigger rock. So Darius had wanted to get to that bigger rock, but he had one minor problem. It was owned by his own uncle Nicholas Tanz and Nicholas would never sell it to him even if he knew what it was for. However, Darius knew the layout of Nicholas’s home and so he called in Harris to get his help in extracting the crystal from the rock. He said that it was too heavy to move and that they needed to extract it on sight. And that meant Harris had to go with someone that knew what they were doing.
Except Harris was going to take a scientist he knew and Liam wasn’t having any of that. Liam had been forced to tell Jillian the truth after she found his blood-soaked hoodie and she had been left furious with him afterwards. She had told him that he had no right for keeping the truth from her and she had also blamed herself for not seeing what was going on after Amanda had warned her that Liam was involved in something big. But Liam had hated Amanda’s interference and he had warned Jillian that she couldn’t tell anyone about what he told her because it would cause a mass panic. So, Jillian had told him he could go screw himself and then she had gone home to her parents.
Jillian wanted to spend what could possibly be her last days on earth with the people she cared about and Liam was no longer on that list. So Liam blamed Darius for the end of his relationship. He had warned Darius not to hire her because then he would have to keep secrets and she would eventually realize that she was being lied to. Yet, Darius hadn’t taken Liam’s words to mean anything and Liam believed that’s what left him in this current predicament. And so Liam had wanted to go get the crystal out of the meteorite because he no longer cared about what happened to him and just wanted to see his project to completion.
So, Liam went with Harris to the UK to get the crystal and Grace’s father helped arranged things for them because she’s never actually told anyone that he used to be a spy himself! Though in end they all got what they wanted. They flew to Nicholas’s mansion and despite running into the guards they were able to get what they needed to build a new EMDrive. So, Grace had been so happy to see Harris after everything that she didn’t care about his secrets or her secrets and she just wanted to be with him.
But a new problem unfortunately occurred after all they had been through. Harris had called off his boss and they thought that they had averted war however the Russian Government the announced that they were officially closing all diplomatic channels with the US and that they were removing all their diplomats before they too were a victim of the American aggression. So the Russians were voicing their opinions to everyone and rumors implied that they also had their missiles honed in on the US.
THE END!
