**Foster Shinj watched with intent interest as the search for the revolutionary space engine was displayed on more than a dozen wide screen monitors throughout the room. Two dozen of his staff interfaced with world organizations by means of satellite relays and internet connections. "Like watching a chess game in progress" Foster commented to Dan.
"Yes Taipan, very much so" Dan replied as he also listened to his head transiever. "Our man in Tavoy has just reported that a eastern made heicopter did in fact deliver a large crated piece of cargo to the Yan Public Airport at the time in question. It appears that The Hung Qoi Airlines, a independant jippo operation, flew the cargo to Nam Tok Thailand."
"Was our agent able to confirm that it was the engine?" Foster asked with reserved excitement.
"No Taipan, it appeared to be an ordinary shipment. The shipper was paid extra to deliver it right away, and to keep it quiet." Dan replied abstractly as he aslo carried on a conversation via his head transiever.
"That's good enough for me. Have our agent follow the trail Dan." Foster picked up a microphone off the console counter "Lueng, dispatch the Security Reaction Team Alpha to the airfield. Have number two Gulfstream take them to Bangkok immediately. Also route the helios and a tanker to Bangkok in case the Alpha team needs them.
"What about clearances Taipan?" the voice from the console speaker asked.
"I will see to it that they will have operational clearances in Thailand before they get there. I want Alpha Team airborne within the hour Lueng." Foster ordered sternly.
