 "No big deal. It's a quick in and out. We go in, we plant the bomb, we're out. One less place
for our beloved government to be manufacturing poison."

"You sure?" said Shai. "Maybe it's a trap."

"It's no trap," said Jupiter. He leaned against a wall, his arms folded. "Remember, they think
we're in Minnesota."

"We're not the only game in town, man," said Buzz. He automatically reached for a
cigarette, then remembered that the trigger-happy Shai had dispatched his lighter. "Other
groups are around, y'know. Scattered throughout the country. Get with the times, man. This is
the twenty-first century, after all. We're not the only ones fighting for the environment."

"Maybe," agreed Jupiter, "but we're dropping, man. You hear about Porky?"

The others reacted with surprise, including Buzz who had been with Jupiter most of the
day. Jupiter hadn't breathed a word about it. "What about Porky?" he said.

"Nailed him."

"No." Shai didn't want to believe it, and in the corner of the room, Luta gasped. "Shit no.
Porky's a fucking legend, man."

"Yeah, well, now that's all he is," said Jupiter. "He and his people were in Chicago, and the
Complex helped nail him."

"Aw, man." Shai was shaking his head and he walked the length of the room, blending in
with the shadows. "Between the army and the ComplexтАФman, whatever happened to
government of the people and all that shit?"

"Somebody realized just how much shit it was," said Jupiter. "We gotta do this one, people.
Do it big. Between the stuff they're producing in that factory and the waste material they
produce making the stuffтАж"

"We got it," said Buzz, and shook his head. He shivered slightly. "ManтАж Porky. Can't
believe it."

"Believe it," said Jupiter. "And believe that if we're not careful, we'll be next."

The comment hung there in the air, unresponded to. No one bothered to point out the
obviousтАФthat perhaps now would be the time for the group to split up. To give up the fight, to
count as blessings that they had gotten away with as much as they did and be satisfied with
that.

It was not suggested because it was not an option.
