"Hey Rachel," Emily said, looking at her monitor. "Do you know an Addison Roberts?" "Yeah, She's over in investigations..." Rachel replied, standing over at the Cyber desk. "Why?" "You might want to come take a look at this..." Emily said. She wore the white vest of the Deputy Incident Commander. Rachel walked up to the computer that Emily was using. On the screen was a two page document from Addison. Rachel skimmed it. "Get me The Washington State Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management on the phone in One A, Please." "Yes, Ma'am." A tech seated to the left of Emily's desk said. "Emily, I'll be in One A." Rachel stepped off the platform and walked toward the conference room. When she walked in the lights all turned on and she shut the door. She pushed a button on the intercom. "Hey Emily," "Yes, Ma'am?" Emily's voice sounded tinny through the speaker. "Can you please forward that report from Addison to my Emergency Management Agency email?" She asked, turning on the computer in the conference room. She still hadn't pulled her laptop out of it's bag yet. "Will do." Emily said. Rachel pushed a button on the phone and the intercom disconnected. A few seconds later Rachel had the report on the monitor and the intercom beeped. "This is Rachel." "Ma'am, I've got Michelle Oldham from the Washington State Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management on the phone." It was the tech that she had asked to call the Washington State Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management "Patch her through." Rachel said. "Good Evening, this is Rachel Upton with the Department of Homeland Security. I have an update for you." "This is Michelle Oldham, Operations Section Chief," Michelle said. "Go ahead." "We have hard data on a pair of targets: The Power switching yard run by the BPA, and infrastructure around Grand Coulee Dam itself. We are pretty sure that they are going to target transmission towers. There might be other targets as well, but these are the ones we know about." Rachel skimmed the report from Addison. The two had been friends for a number of years and Rachel had concerns for her friend to be going undercover on this assignment. "okay, I've got it," Michelle said. "Any other pearls of wisdom?" "Yeah..." Rachel's voice was flat. "Use whatever means necessary to protect the Homeland." "Yes, Ma'am." Michelle said, there was a beep as the call disconnected.
