The date they decided on was the day they gave Red Dream a day later to report to her boss for the meeting. She did so as soon as she got their message.
She pushed against the heavy mark in her mind and thought to herself, "They have set up a date for the meeting. It is three days from now."
Her thoughts were transmitted through the mark to a distant location. A reply came two seconds after.
"That's good. I am impressed by your work ethic. Keep up the good work."
She reminded him, "They plan to resist you."
The voice in her head chuckled. "I don't expect anything less. In fact, I wouldn't believe you if you had said that they wouldn't resist. So what is their plan?"
She hurriedly explained, "I am not going to join them in it. I made that clear to them, so they left me out of their planning."
He told her, "It doesn't matter. Just do your job well and leave everything to me."
