"I have run a vocal recognition search and the cadence matches no one's voice in particular, either this is ai, or we have a stage actor on our hands." said Foaly's voice in Artemis' ear.

"We have a breach of security here, I would tell Commander Kelp that we have an incredibly complicated kidnapper here, more than me at least." said Artemis.

"Is there anything you could do?" asked Foaly, "Y'know as a ex-kidnapper and all."

"Well, no. I told you who I was... rookie mistake." replied Artemis.

"ROOKIE MISTAKE?????????" screamed Foaly, the noise nearly perforating Artemis eardrum.

"Well, I wouldn't have if my mother was not ill." stated Artemis.

"Pfft Artemis Fowl making a 'rookie mistake'... don't believe it for a second." muttered Foaly, gnashing his horse teeth.

"You do know that I can hear you?" said Artemis.

"Yeah."

"Tell Foaly that we need a full team of techies, top grade!" yelled Butler.

"Oh yeah, tell him to send a ton of food too!" added Mulch.

"Okay, fine. We will be there by noon tomorrow." said Foaly, the line went dead.
