Number 9 watches the duo in boredom. He watches them through a tv like screen that's on it's lap. Number 9 moves the screen aside.

Number 9 mutters "Damn thing.. " And gets up and looks around it's room.. more like a cell.. The room is very dull and dark. Not much furniture lies in the room. The only bright thing is the screen.

Number 9 glances at it in disgust as it keeps making noise.. can't turn off the noise, but i need to listen to it "just incase they break the equilibrium" why is Number 7 always right..

Number 9 moves a few steps away from the screen, but close enough where it can hear it. Number 9 starts stretching to get his blood flowing again.

As Number 9 is stretching, the screen make's a beep noise. Number 9 looks at it in alarm, it rushes over to the screen and picks it up hastily. Number 9 looks at the screen's notifications and sighs.. Number 7 wants to talk.. fine..

Number 9 sits down and taps the notification answering the call.

Number 7 says "Hello?"

Number 9 sighs and says "I'm here Number 7, why the call?"

Number 7 says in a happy manner "They are finally on their way to the spot where our dormant portal is!"

Number 9 shocked and very exited says "Really? You sure?"

Number 7 still in a very happy manner says "Yep! We are going to able have a new world into our fold!"

Number 9 responds "What if a mistake happens when we use the link teleporter?"

Number 7 says "What are you talking about? It will work it always has! You don't need to worry about it."

Number 9 sighs and says "Ok.. I'll get it running, bye."

Number 9 ends to the call and takes a deep breath. Number 9 puts the screen off the side and stands up in a more formal posture.

He looks around with a somber look. Number 9 moves his hand up and snap's his fingers. Disappearing from his room.

Location: The Teleporter

Number 9 appears in a side passage, one of many side passages. He steps out of the side passage into the main room and looks around with nostalgia.

Number 9 looks at the teleporter.

Number 9 stares thoughtfully at the teleporter. We haven't used this in many millennia, after what happened.. Number 9 hastily looks away from the teleporter.. don't need to think about that..

Number 9 looks up at the dome shaped ceiling, that has sleeping gas ready to be released in a matter of seconds. Don't want a incident to happen again..

Number 9 pulls his gaze away from the ceiling and looks back to the teleporter. The first step in getting a new world.. the people who go into the portal, go through some tests so we can calibrate their new world.. hope nothing goes wrong... it's been a very long time since we did this..

Number 9 sighs and starts to put energy in the teleporter.
