MetaLogic looks out the window of his hovercrafts as it flies across the surface of the Earth.  The tactic of staying low to the ground helps them avoid being detected.  Not that it matters anyways, the hovercraft had no right angles, so it was hard to detect either way.  Then appearing from over the hills was a field.  Meta stood there gazing at the endless field of humans being grown.  "It's better to be asleep and dreaming than to be in this nightmare" he thought. 

All the sudden the radar started pinging several enemy hovercrafts.  "What the...." Lotus thought as she looked at it.  "They're EPNs, and they're in a search formation."  MetaLogic can see the hovercrafts off in the distance, and Lotus was right.  They were all in a line, going in one direction.  "They must be looking for our base, or a way to attack 01."  Meta turns around and walks back to the broadcasting station of the hovercraft, Lotus followed close behind. 

"What are you doing?"
"I have to get a message out to the rest of the Cypherites, and a broadcast in the real is too risky, they'll pick up on the signal and know where we are."

Lotus looks at him like he's mad, Meta didn't notice, he just types command into his jack computer.  He looks at Lotus, "Don't worry, we'll be fine.  Claud, Smiths, I want you to get the pads ready to go at full power and arm the EMP!"  They both reply with "Yes sir!"  "Lotus, I want you to load up the EJP and keep it running."  Lotus bit her bottom lips.  Meta sits into the chair and straps himself in, Lotus still being unsure plugs the jack into Meta.

The hot air hits MetaLogic face as he is greeted by a warm August day.  He holds out his hand and then a disc appears in it.  "There's the message that needs to be sent, every Cypherite hovercrafts will pick it up.  It's encrypted but they have the key."  "Got it."  Meta looks around and then started running.  He ran as fast as he could and then he Hyper jumped to a nearby building.  He looks around, looking for a drop point.  He noticed one about 400m away.  He hyper jumps from building to building until he reached his target.  The ground crunched beneath him as he landed near the mailbox. 

He drops the disc in and let's out a sigh.  He turns around and then he see's an EPN operative.  "Well well well, if it isn't Mr MetaLogic himself."  Meta raises an eyebrow towards the operative.  "And you are?"  "My name is not important.  What is important is that we're finally going to end you!"  All the sudden EPNs popped out of every door surrounding the drop point, Meta tried to Hyper Jumped away but before he could they piled up on him. 

"NO!  No no no no no!" Lotus screamed into her screen.  "We got bigger problems, they detected us and are sending hovercrafts our way!" shouted Smith.  Claud kicked the pads into full power and pull a 180 degrees turn away from the advancing hovercrafts.  "Smith I want you to go load up the mines and man the rear guns, Lotus get him out of there!" 
"I can't they are jamming his signal!"
Claud is speechless.

The hovercraft raced through the real as it tries to avoid the oncoming hovercrafts.  The mine hatch open and several mines spew out from the back.  It managed to hit one or two hovercrafts and take them out but three more were still coming.  "We got a sewer line coming up hold on!"  Claud slams the stick forward causing the hovercraft to take a nose dive into the sewer.  However the move knocked out the stabilizing pads and the ship slammed into the ground.
