Back at the company's headquarters in Chantilly, Virginia, the men discuss the latest developments in the war in the Middle East. They've just seen the launch of a new set of satellites, and they're worried that if they don't get the codes from the satellites before they go live, they'll be locked out of the country. The men are also concerned about Dr. Gibson's daughter, who's been "a bit obsessive" about her safety since her mom's death. They think that Dr. Clark will give up the access codes to save his daughter. They haven't heard from Dr. Bledsoe yet, but they've sent an agent out to look for him. They also hear that a coup has taken place in the capital, and that the president wants to know when they will be sending their assassination team to help him.
