The team meets Dr. Adrian Bouchard, a language expert who has partially decoded the alien transmissions. The team takes him to the Cottage to help Norton. They make good progress: A new transmission indicates an imminent alien operation. Leaving Norton and Adrian behind, the others hurry with Delta Squad to stop the aliens.
