addresses” Paul says. He then continues “And if you need any macros or other code written, pass it to me”.
    John and Alex like the idea, but they want to be more ‘hands on’. John whispers in Alex’s ear “Babe, let’s go and compile the evidence down into a page and throw posters and leaflets around? People are bound to see?”
    “Good idea. Cat, Paul, Me and John are going to design a few posters and fliers to ‘distribute’ so people can find them. Will see you at work tomorrow”.
    “Ok, that’s a good plan. In no time ev eryone will be talking about it and FTR will have no choice” says Cat.
    John and Alex then went to Johns to use his printer after they had finished designing the posters. It is 03:00, and a late night trip to 24 hour Tesco to search their ink cartridge collection later that they are finished. They begin dropping the posters anywhere and everywhere. They drive Johns old car around, stopping at bus stops, garages, landmarks and high streets to plant these message spreading posters. It is now just a waiting game until FTR is all over the news.
    The next day comes, and John and Alex arrive a few minutes late, to find Paul and Cat sitting there in silence. “Everything we did last night has been deleted… nobody has taken any notice of it whatsoever” Cat breaks the news to them.
    “Not to mention the stories of the subjects murders… the pilot, the soldiers… nowhere to be found” Paul adds.
    “Quick, turn on the TV” Paul then demands. As the TV is switched on, again, there is no news of FTR and their dangerous teleporters. The team are baffled and shocked that nothing has been surfaced at all, despite their best efforts. “But people have to had seen the posters! They can’t corrupt that…” John adds.
    “Ok, so let us take a step back for just a second, it seems FTR has their fingers in every pie. They have to be blocking this at every turn. It can’t be anything else” Alex summarises.
    The elite 4 are struggling to see any other resolution whilst trying their hardest to understand exactly what is happening to the teleportation users. John and Alex are convinced that it’s their souls that are missing, however Paul cannot see the logic as they are still alive. Cat on the other hand is unsure of either theory. From absolutely nowhere, whilst the team is focused on spreading the word, Cat bursts out “Maybe they have lost their souls you know… but not necessarily meaning that you can’t live, or the body can’t survive without one that is… Assuming that is the case, wouldn’t the primal instinct prevail?”. As she finished her statement, the other three look at her in a slightly confused look, but quickly then accept that idea as a possible explanation.
    “That’s what we’ve been trying to tell you two!” John explodes with joy as he sees that finally somebody else has clarified his and Alex’s original hypothesis.
    Paul then says “Look, even if you guys are correct, which it looks like you may be, where are these ‘souls’’ now, and how are we going to stop FTR before they sell the 5 teleporters in 2 days’ time?”.

“We’re going to have to get serious. We’ve tried diplomatic, god only knows how many people are in with FTR on this” John says.
    “Well, the people involved are probably convinced otherwise from any ‘rouge’ internet blog or poster they may see.” Cat rightly adds.
    “How do you mean get serious John?” Paul asks.
    “I’m going to make a phone call”
    “To who?” asks Alex
    “ My old mate, he’s special forces and he’s quite high up. He’ll know what to do” replies John.

“We can’t go round killing people! That would make us worse than FTR” Says Cat
    “Oh, and what happens if we sit here and do nothing? How many innocent people are going to die? How many more teleporters will be sold?” John says in an elevated voice.

“That’s our absolute last resort, we cannot do that yet anyway” Paul
