H&G vs HG

Hello, Hana again here. As Glutton has reported, he got our messages, and made it back to VHS base 1. I was inside the main system, checking on how much had changed in the world since we left, and I felt someone trying to gain access. The computer was damaged and low on power, so I could only just get into it. As soon as I saw it was Glutton, I went back to the primary console and opened the main hub. As the screen I was looking from slid into the room, I saw Glutton fully at last. He looked badly injured, and seemed to be in pain. 'Glutton, thank goodness.'
He looked confused. 'Er....hi?'
'Oh, sorry, should have warned you. Must be a bit of a shock, gigantic blue face suddenly appearing on a screen. I don't think we've ever actually met properly.'
'Hana?'
'Yes, nice to meet you. I'm sorry for the circumstances, and for what you've been through. Tempest needs our help.'
'I've been doing what I can.'
'I know, and we're grateful. But now we need to make use of the Parallel times. Tempest has been managing to blog, so the connection is still open.'
'So how do we do that?'
'The generator here is failing. Soon this system will be useless, but I need to get to HG's computers, and you need to help Tempest inside the base if he calls for it.'
'So what do we do?'
'There should be a round, handheld unit somewhere round here, we used it so non-technopaths
could access the system when out in the field.'
Glutton searched around, and eventually found it under a damaged table. It had clearly fallen off, but being underneath had protected it from any further damage. Imagine an iPhone, but with two rounded ends instead of being rectangular. It's Arctic Blue in colour, and the front is nothing but screen. Under my instruction, he slotted it into a dock, having to hold one side in place to stop it falling out, and pressed a button on the side. I downloaded everything I could, anything I thought I might need for hacking HG's system, and charged it's battery from the generator. Then I transferred myself to it. I looked up at Glutton, who jumped as lights and screens started going out all over the room. He managed to catch me, and I gave him an encouraging smile. 'T says he'll need me on the inside if he's going to beat HG. No pressure Glutton, but we're his only hope. You have to get me there. Glutton, last surviving member of SOLAR, friend of VHS, this plan relies on you. Tempest's fate, and therefore the world's, is, quite literally, in your hands.'
