(Recap from Sally's journal) Things have gotten interesting since
Sally first ran into Geoffrey St. John. All of Sally's trainee freedom
fighters (Arlo, Penelope, Dylan, and Hamlin) do not trust Geoffrey--especially
Hamlin. However, they were able to successfully destroy an energy
substation. Geoffrey has been courageous, but nobody knows if he is
planning anything.
Part 2
Geoffrey and Hamlin do some combat training as Penelope, Arlo, and
Dylan watch with concern. As soon as Geoffrey knocks Hamlin backwards,
Sally kicks Geoffrey in the stomach. Sally says that they all fight
against Robotnik and not each other. Geoffrey promptly apologizes.
Sally reveals the final substation, which is inside an atoll (the editor
defines "atoll" as a "ringlike island that encloses a lagoon").
Sally says she knows just the way to get to the substation. After
climbing the cliffs that overlook the atoll, Sally reveals Rotor's new
creation: hang-gliders. Everyone assembles their hang-gliders
and then head for the atoll.
As they approach the forest, a canon fires. Arlo is hit and crashes
to the ground. Sally orders everyone to land and abandon the hang-gliders.
Once they are hidden they begin to look for Arlo. Arlo is still
alive, but his leg is broken. Penelope suggests that she stay with
Arlo, and the rest of the team leaves.
Soon the substation is in sight. A swatbot appears, but someone knocks it
over. Once inside the substation, Sally instructs everyone to attach explosives
to the control panels. Suddenly Sally is grabbed by a tentacle. An
octo-pod holds Sally in
the air, so Geoffrey instructs Hamlin and Dylan to distract the robot. While
octo-pod grabs Hamlin and Dylan, Geoffrey attaches an explosive to to the bottom
of octo-pod and says they need to leave. Sally sprays a can of spray paint
in octo-pod's eye. The robot lets go of everyone, and they escape the substation
just as it explodes. Sally says they should head back to Arlo and Penelope.
When they arrive, both Arlo and Penelope are missing. There is no sign of
a struggle, so Sally says they might be back at the camp. They leave by
using the hang-gliders. When they arrive at camp, Arlo and Penelope are
nowhere to be found.
The next morning before dawn, Geoffrey picks up Sally and disappears
into a secret portal. He places Sally in a chamber that is next
to another Sally in a second chamber. Geoffrey contacts a contacts
a figure and says that he has made the exchange. The figure says
that Geoffrey should deliver the item as soon as possible. After
the transmission ends, the second chamber opens and Sally asks for a report.
Geoffrey says that everything is going according to the plan.
When morning arrives, Hamlin takes down two swatbots. Sally explains
to Dylan and Hamlin that there should be no defense in this area.
Hamlin asks what happened to Geoffrey, and Sally says that he is probably
taking care of something.
Geoffrey enters a door carrying the chamber with Sally inside.
Robotnik laughs and says now that he has Sally the rebellion will finally
be destroyed.
