Doc -Tag: Shadow

Doc just shook his front. "No, I don't. Even if I did, I doubt hey would be of much help." The midnight blue race car replied. "But I could ask Spray. He seems to have a team, but I don't know much else. I am not a special agent like he is."

[Dusty Crophopper]

Finn - Tags: Shadow, Aeris

Finn soaked in the information, nodding thoughtfully as he furrowed his brow. "So... pose as his entourage? It's risky but... what other choice do we have? It's not like we have an alternative save for infiltrating his headquarters and risking political repercussions over it! I've looked at this guy's security... it's first rate! Any infiltration attempt would be met with stalwart resistance... it would require our best agents... he's got the best security money can buy. But that's also whey I'm wary of this... since if we go in there... it could be a trap. I'm extremely wary, but I just don't see an alternative right now." the Faultless sighed. He frowned deeply as Shadow mentioned they could bring Aeris, and Finn took one look at this son, and drove off here, out of earshot.

"Aeris? He panicked over an argument we were having today and drove off!" he hissed quietly. "I'm not sure he'd be up for it! Agent Shadow that's a risk I'm not sure I'm willing to take! If Carew's our guy... well you know the rules! We CAN'T risk our families in our professional life because it could compromise us!" he paused here... wondering just why he'd brought Aeris along in that case if he was so worried about it. "Look I don't know Agent Shadow! I brought him along but..." he paused as she mentioned radioing was no good. "Well I'm afraid I can't join right now! I had to take my son into the field office because his engine overheated and died! He's being looked at by our medical staff but... once they're done I could join you. I agree we need to link up and plan this." he said now.

"You'll just have to give me some time. I'll ask Aeris if he's OK staying here." He cut the feed, reversed, turned, and drove back to his son now. "Aeris... you wouldn't mind if I met up with Shadow, would you?" he asked. "It seems we have some...things to discuss regarding tomorrow's operation."

Dusty - Tags: Shadow, Doc

Dust winced, and backed away now, nodding as she told them both to kind of back off. Yeah... sure... he was getting a little too excited about it. "Yeah... you're right." he said, listening now more to Doc and Shadow's conversation than anything else.

Spray - Oskar, Jigsaw, Rush

Spray blushed a bit, realizing the Komet did have a point. "I'd recommend we find a place to stay..." he muttered. "If... Any of you are up to it..."

In truth he was feeling like staying at the airfield was the best bet, but he wasn't about to offend the smaller jet any further.

Thankfully there was a small hotel close by. So they could get some rest.

Shadow: Dusty, Doc & Finn

"This is why I was thinking that not all of our agents go. Some on standby. That sort of thing...... We can work out the security, I mean, it shouldn't be too hard to know what he has." Shadow started, though Finn continued on about his son. "Well.... Why did you bring him along on this whole thing if you are really that worried about him? That doesn't make sense" Shadow picked up on the point extremely quickly, frowning herself. Though she knew this was something they could figure out once they'd met up. She made a note in her mind of a few points she wanted to raise, in order to cover themselves and those going with Dusty completely. "Right... Copy that" She responded, deciding to wait until they were face to face before going into detail about their plans. It was here that she too signed off her radio, looking quickly to Doc once again.

"I'd say to radio Spray then... See if he DOES have a team, and if he's got anyone we can trust, maybe push things from their end. We need to know what the FBI know about this guy, if we don't have enough info i think we are all in trouble..." She stated in a darker tone. "Do you reckon its something you can do? I can help if you need?" She said here, giving Doc another smile. She then turned to Dusty, noticing he had gone subdued almost, and she felt a pang of guilt. She reversed here, so she slipped next to his side once again, making sure she was quite close to him. "Hey, how about we find that restaurant, eh? I was rather looking forward to a meal with you again...." She said here, pressing lightly against him. "We'll probably start on our own.... Though Finn wants to discuss your plans, and the best way to go about it, so he will join us later on... Does that... Sound good?" She asked him here, looking up to him and giving him her best smile.

((Dusty, Titanic and I will role-play Spray's team if that is alright with you. Just a heads up.))

Doc - Tags: Shadow, Dusty

Doc nodded at her suggestion. "I can do that. If anything, we do need information. I just hope we can get it. The agent I talked to seem insistent that I pull out of the case. Even said I was out of my jurisdiction, but the FBI works international too, just like the CIA. They might not have as much leeway, but it still can be done." The ex-racer replied before he moved to contact Spray.

"Special Agent Krane, this is Agent Hudson. Shadow wants to know if you have a team and if you do, she wants you to contact them and find out what they can about Hiram Carew. The FBI's main HQ might have files on him since he is a large weapons supplier for the U.S." Doc said. He hoped Spray would answer and give the response that was needed.

Spray - Oskar, Doc (on radio)

The black plane perked up, his eyes widening a bit as he heard Doc's voice on the radio. He switched it on and answered. "Spray here. And for the record, I do have a team. They're asleep right now, but I could try and get in touch with them tomorrow. It's getting late," he said. "But as for the second question, I'm afraid that's out of the question. Unless we can find some way to get the data without being detected, then it's not going to happen."

In truth, he was worried about possible repercussions from doing such a thing. That, and he wasn't sure if his team would be compromised as well. While he did trust them, there was still that niggling feeling of paranoia due to his secret.

Still, he hoped they hadn't been compromised by this... unusual event. He shot a quick glance up at the two moons and he narrowed his eyes. The sight always seemed to make him on edge.

Jigsaw Redtail | Status: Alert, Paranoid | Tags: Spray, Oskar

Jigsaw listened to the young plane intently, staying silent until the other was finished speaking. "That is a very intelligent strategy Rookie," he stated, praising Spray for his smarts. "It would certainly be an advantage over the enemy and give us a leverage over them... as for a place to stay we should probably get back to base. That's most likely the safest place we could be at."

Aeris McMissile | Status: timid, extremely paranoid | Tags: Finn

The smaller Martin stayed silent as Finn sped up and drove into an underground parking garage. He jerked slightly as giant metal doors opened, warily keeping an eye on the cars he didn't know... but they seemed to know his father. The advanced technology was absolutely incredible... certainly things he had never seen before considering his expression.

Aeris was obviously extremely reluctant to reveal much, and hoped that they didn't push their lucky with getting much out of him. He simply told the doctor about his overheating problem, exactly what he had told his father. The young car didn't feel the need to state any past injuries, thinking that they weren't important. Besides, the list was far too great to remember them all. He was sure that he was simply accident prone.

As Finn stated he needed to speak with Shadow face-to-face somewhere, he panicked at the thought of being left alone with strangers he didn't know. He didn't say anything, not trusting his voice at the moment, but prayed that his expression said everything he was thinking.

[Dusty Crophopper]

((Once again, not sure on the team. It'd just be you guys having characters and roleplaying essentially with yourselves. If you can find a way to do that where it won't just turn into that at the neglect of the rest of the players, fine, but I'm opposed to it so long as it's just this team working with itself and Spray. I mean one way to do it would be if I took some team members as well as NPCs, in order to ensure stuff isn't OKed without my permission. Are they just gonna stay in their office then? What was the plan? I mean I don't want this devolving into an over-reliance on NPCs and some distant team that you're going to constantly roleplay with, especially if it's just you two.))

Dusty - Tags: Shadow, Doc

Dusty remained silent throughout the duration of the radio conversation between Finn and Shadow, and then Doc and Shadow. He began looking around, first one way then another, and finally, down the street. But then Shadow did move next to him, and suggested they find the restaurant. "Oh! Right! Yeah... our dinner... the restaurant... yeah... sure... why not?" he asked, shrugging his ailerons here. "Yeah if we can meet Finn that might help... I wouldn't be opposed to it!" he agreed here. "Uh so let's see... well there's plenty of places in this area I think! This is one of the main strips for the resort area! Like right down there!" he pointed with his nose. "I already see several restaurants! Let's just find one, slip in, and wait for Finn, yeah?" he asked.

He began heading down the street again, the lights of Rio burning brightly as the city almost seemed to be combating the light of the twin moons. Cars' headlights also whizzed by, passing both of them in the faster lanes. "Hmmm..." Dusty narrowed his eyes, raising a brow as he studied the various places they could eat at. "Let's try that place!" he suggested, nodding at a restaurant that seemed like it had corner booths and tables, which would make meeting with Finn easier. Rolling up to the front desk, which was outside, Dusty cleared his throat. "Ahem... uh... table for... four?" he asked, looking to Shadow here in case Doc was joining them. "Maybe even five!" He said, just in case.

The maitre d' nodded, and began leading them over to a table that was alongside an open wall that looked out over the water, the street, and the beach. "Wow! This is nice!" Dusty said, looking over at her. "Don't you agree?"

Oskar - Tags: Spray, Rush Jigsaw

Oskar nodded. "Ja... I think it's best. I..." He paused as Spray began conversing with someone over his radio. He coughed a little, having sucked in some spittle by accident, and then looked up at the twin moons again. This... wasn't good. Not certainly something he was going to be OK with anytime soon. Looking back to Spray, he spoke up when the call seemingly ended. "So... where would you like to go?" he inquired. He glanced over at Jigsaw now. "By base I hope you don't mean the airport. There's no lodgings there in all honesty... and I'd rather not sleep in some random hanger if they don't have the room. Still... if you fellows wish to do so... that's your prerogative." he stated. "I really don't feel like sleeping on the jets either to be honest with you." he confessed, feeling like he was the odd plane out here.

Finn - Tags: Shadow, Aeris

"Because... I didn't want to be apart from him and this mission feels... different than any other I've undertaken!" he confessed here. "Look... let's just... discuss this in a bit, OK?" he asked, glancing at Aeris again. "Aeris... I'm going to head to meet with Shadow and a few others from our team right now. You can join us if you want, I'll upload the coordinates to your GPS if you have one. It's just... business I have to discuss, OK?" he asked, giving him a nod. "You'll be fine... I know you will." he told him softly. "I'll see you soon." He promised. But he halted as he caught his son's almost panicked look. "Um... you want me to stay?" he asked now. "I'm afraid I can't do that. I could take you with me... if you wanted. We just need to let them finish running diagnostics on you and get you up and running... that's all." he said, sighing as he knew he'd be late meeting Shadow at this point. He glanced at the medic, who nodded at him.

"I should be able to get him up and running soon. No worries."

"Right... so will you be coming with me then?" Finn asked.

Miles - Tags: Shinn

Miles was finishing up in the bathroom, having washed the sand out of his body and taken care of his business. Emerging, he drove over to his balcony, which was quite high up. Pushing the door open with a wheel, he drove out to admire the view. Even with the creepy twin moons, he was pleased beyond words that he was this free to be able to relax outside of his prison. He could just... taste the salty air and the breeze blowing in from the sea. Sighing happily, he sank a little on his wheels, smiling out to sea. "Can't beat this... you just... can't." he said, simply standing there and soaking in the view.

Aeris McMissile | Status: Panicking | Tags: Finn

Aeris nodded even before Finn finished speaking, though he stayed eerily silent. He wasn't exactly the greatest with words and was an overall awkward individual. The smaller Martin was rather stiff as the medic fixed him up. He obviously was not a fan of being touched, even if it was to heal him.

[ZAFTPrime]

((Okay, never mind then. Just a thought.))

Doc - Tags: Shadow, Dusty

Doc just shrugged and followed Dusty into the restaurant with Shadow and Dusty. He did want to find out how he would fit in with the plan after all. Plus, it would be good to get something to eat, he mused as he realized he hadn't eaten in over twelve hours since they had left Propwash Junction.
