She hangs up, turns. Stepping up from her rear is a Flash Point Enforcement 
trooper carrying a compact H & K MP-5 TX submachine gun and wearing a full 
array of semi-flexible body armor, including helmet with polarized faceplate and 
heavy insulated boots. Tikki is not surprised. She not only heard him coming, 
she smelled him coming. She wonders just in passing if he noticed an errant 
bulge in her jacket created by the Kang automatic holstered at the small of her 
back.
