Shadow: Tags - Dusty, Doc, Finn

Shadow smiled again at the fact he was talking once again, gladly letting him take the lead now, falling in place slightly behind him, though still to his side. She found she was the right height to fit under his wing and not knock him, which she liked. "Well my knowledge of this place is not going to be very much.... Though i'm not fussed as to what we have" She replied to him, before noting he had made a choice, heading over to the restaurant in question now. Shadow nodded to the choice of a table for five, looking to Doc to confirm he was in fact staying with them. Upon seeing the view that Dusty was referring to, Shadow smiled widely. "Wow! Yes that's.... It's beautiful! Considering the lighting..." She said here, sliding her gaze from the view to Dusty, with a slight laugh. She settled at the table, looking to the floor for a moment as she activated her GPS, sending Finn the restaurant they were in through it, so he knew where to go.

"So uh... DO you remember our last dinner?" She grinned to Dusty in a small matter-of-fact way, though made sure to catch his gaze. "It was memorable, I really like it...."

Finn - Tags: Aeris, Spray, Shadow

Finn waited patiently, but it didn't take long with the technology they had to get his son's engine fired up again and running. Smiling, he nodded. "All right... let's go meet Shadow and the others for dinner." he suggested now. "Perhaps we can get the others in on this too." He activated his radioed and put in Spray's frequency. "Agent Krane this is Finn. We're heading to a restaurant south of the airport. I'll send you the coordinates. If you'd like, rendezvous with us there, we're going to meet up to discuss tomorrow's plans. I'm going to attempt to contact Axlerod as well to let him know too. No sense in having anyone miss this after all."

He cut the feed, and began leading his son back out the way they had come. Fortunately, the restaurant was actually fairly close to the field office, so it didn't take very long for Finn to weave his way through traffic and show up at the meeting point. He suavely entered the restaurant and smiled as he saw the others, driving over to their table. "Hello everyone." he said, as if greeting some friends. The location was good, as their voices would be muffled by the waves from anyone trying to listen in. "So... what did you want to go over, agent Shadow?" Finn began looking the menu over, only partly studying it but also taking a serious look here and there as he felt like ordering a bottle of wine while they talked.

Dusty - Tags: Shadow, Doc

"Of course I do! It was only last night after all." Dusty winked at her. "Wouldn't forget that for anything!" He bopped her playfully with his nose, and moved his propeller aside to kiss her, which he was in the middle of doing when Finn drove in, and he quickly backed away, looking like a kid who had stolen from the cookie jar here. He looked up innocently, studying the ceiling as if it suddenly interested him. He even began whistling, and greeted Finn as if nothing had happened. "Finn! Hey! Glad you could join us!" he said innocuously.

Miles - Tags: Everyone at the restaurant

Miles had gotten Finn's message, had informed Shinn, and entered the restaurant shortly after Finn, looking about him and settling on Shadow before he looked away from her. He only hoped she wouldn't try and murder him in here...

He drove up beside Doc, nodding at the old car. "Hello... mind if I squeeze in?" he asked hopefully, knowing it was tight, but already servers were bringing over another table to accommodate them all.

Spray - Finn

The black plane joined them, although he had already eaten prior. His mind was focused on something else though, and the way he was looking gave that away. He did say hi to Finn though. "Hey, Finn."

'What the h*** did Dennison mean? And why am I getting this bad feeling like something will happen to Dusty? And how does that aluminum tip tie in?' Spray thought to himself.

Doc - Tag: Everyone

Doc nodded at Miles as well. Looking back at Dusty, he couldn't help but snicker at the way the plane tried to look so innocent, but acted so guilty. Finn probably knew what had nearly transpired, but didn't say anything on it. The ex-racer then looked back at Finn. "Dusty had the idea for an infiltration into Hiram's office down here. I don't think it's a bad idea, but we need to figure out who will go with and who will try to infiltrate when not with Dusty's group." The midnight blue racecar replied.

Glancing over the menu, Doc decided against getting anything that could leave him hung over. A hold over from his days as a racer, the Hudson Hornet knew any kind of alcohol was not good for him, as it would slow his reaction time. Instead, Doc went for a simple coffee. No sense in getting drunk before a mission.

Shadow: Everyone

The Celica smiled as Dusty playfully bopped her, though never expected the kiss that followed. She felt light and giddy, though his sudden departure alerted Shadow to another presence, looking up to see Finn arrive. She felt her hood burn and her gaze shot down, her mouth open to talk, though nothing came out. There was however a slight grin to her features though, noting as Doc started talking. She looked up to Dusty, smiling at him knowingly before she found her voice. "Uh yes.. Hey Finn! Yes, there were a couple of things I wanted to discuss...." She started here, glancing to Miles as he moved in, her pause apparent. She continued to look at him for a moment, pursing her lips, then glancing back to Dusty. She still didn't trust him.... but she wasn't going to attack him anymore. She cleared her throat and returned to Finn, taking a moment to register the facts she had.

"Doc's right, Dusty is meeting with Carew tomorrow, 10am, and he seemed fairly co-operative on the phone from what i could tell.... But anyway, that's when the idea for assistants, or followers came about. Personally I think if it appeared that Dusty had a team around him, it would be less conspicuous. However, I dont think everyone should make themselves apparent. Especially those who have been near him before... If things go wrong we'll need some form of professional team on hand to help deal with the situation.... The reason... i suggested Aeris was actually for two reasons. One, being that it could really help him become more accustomed to what we do.... and another was that... well he doesn't seem to be the agent type. No one would suspect him. Even undercover, agents are calm, collected...." She paused here, raising an eyebrow to Finn. "...Suave. But I honestly think that... He could really help cover us" Shadow pressed here, giving a reassuring smile to Aeris here.

Doc - Tag: Everyone

Doc nodded. "Shadow brings up a good point. We have over thirty of us, and we can't have everyone involved. But I do feel that those who are agents should head in as part of that group. That would be you, Finn, me, Spray, and Shadow. Personally, I do think that Miles should remain out of this group, as this Carew guy could get suspicious if he sees Miles out of prison."

Looking at Shadow at the suave comment, Doc raised an eye ridge. "Agents are suave? I'm an agent, and I'm far from suave." He noted, but there was a bit of a tease in there as well. Then he went serious again. "If anything, we need to send in some people who are capable and know what they are getting into. Any piece of information on this guy's factory is needed. This way, we can come up with contingency plans in case things go downhill."

Dusty, Finn, Oskar, Miles - Tags :Everyone

Finn soaked in what everyone was saying, frowning thoughtfully and nodding here and there. He agreed with what Shadow and Doc were saying, and glanced from one to the other as he ordered a glass of wine. "Don't worry about that: I've got what schematics I can of the place... it's not all readily available, but headquarters did have some of it on file. It's a fairly large place, but I do like the idea of some of us posing as Crophopper's entourage. However, I would disagree that I should be part of this group. While I can disguise myself just fine, I am uniquely trained in solo infiltrations and carrying out stealth ops on my own. I could head up a team that's working behind the scenes if possible... unless you really feel I should be with Crophopper." Finn raised his brow at Shadow here.

"Also, I do agree that Crophopper needs an experienced agent with him... just in case. That chopper we have... he could fly aerial reconnaissance if needs be... just a thought. As regards Aeris well... I just want him ready for this... I don't..." He paused, looking at his son here and sighing. "I don't want him feeling overwhelmed or panicking if things suddenly... don't start working out according to plan. Aeris..." He turned to him here. "You can... handle something like this, right?" he asked giving him a subdued but encouraging look.

Miles uneasily shifted here, but had to admit they had a point. Him being seen out of prison would be suspicious but... that meant he'd have nothing to do. "Um..." the Branford spoke up here. "I've been... trying to make myself useful as well... doing what I figure Finn called me for... and that's trying to get inside the mind of this Carew fellow. I've come up with several interesting things: first off, I feel he's like me... been hiding behind a mask and concealing his real self until now. I just CAN'T believe he's a raving lunatic because well... lunatics typically aren't this well organized and prepared. This red and blue thing... he's casting off his mask and revealing his true self to the world, though as for motives... I haven't figured that out yet. Also, why he wants me dead... I must be in his way somehow. I'm a threat... I represent something he can't have... in existence. Why I'm not sure yet, but I guess that's something we can figure out. Did... anyone else hear anything new today from him or any of his cohorts?" he asked, looking around the table.

Dusty listened for now, trying to pick this all up. It was terribly fascinating, and he almost felt like he was in an episode of Mission Impossible, or a James Bond flick even! He began gently rubbing Shadow's undercarriage with one of his tires, stroking along its length playfully as he listened, nodding here and there and taking this all in.

[Titanic X 21]

Spray - Everyone

Spray listened in, his mind already turning back to the situation at hand. And he had to agree with Finn on this. They did need an experienced agent. And not just Shadow.

"I'm very experienced myself," he said. "And plus, with my black coloring, I can blend into the shadows if need be. Also, I've got quite a rep for getting the job done. Not to mention my instincts are very good. And I can hold my own fairly well in combat."

He looked at Finn here. "If that's all right, I'd like to be a part of that group that goes with Dusty."

[ZAFTPrime]

Doc - Tag: Everyone

Doc looked back at Finn before speaking. "So I heard. I do have some training myself, but I haven't really had the chance to apply it yet, save for my arrival at Propwash Junction. Either way, I could be of some help." Doc then looked at Spray. "No offense, but you have a large white Piston-and-crosswrenches on your rudder. That's isn't exactly stealthy. Unlike you, I actually have a false alias. If it comes to being ran through a database, I would only come up as Hugh Hornet."

The ex-racer then looked at Finn once more. "I would be more than willing to go with you on the behind the scenes work. If need be, I can slip in as well. My projector can pull off a few disguises, but I'm not sure where you would want me." Doc hoped Finn would take him with on the infiltration mission.

[ShadowWolfCelica]

Shadow: Everyone

Shadow frowned a little, listening to all the information that seemed to be passed around, the group wanting to get actively involved with the entourage...which did prove to be a slight issue when it came to who should wait behind and be on guard. She looked to Finn, responding to his issue of solo infiltration. "I knew about your solo missions anyway, I kinda figured you might wanna sit this one out.... but it still raises the issue that we only have one agent so far willing to wait behind.... The teams should be equal I reckon. ... or at least try to be, in experience"

At Dustys playing, Shadow grinned, looking to him rubbing the side of his pontoons with her tire, proceeding to keep it there, though finding what he was doing was making it harder to concentrate, though she smiled again at this, enjoying it. "So uh.... Miles. You say this is.... him showing his true self. Is it possible that this whole red and blue thing you just mentioned.... could that be a distraction perhaps? Trying to defect away from the actual things that are going on. Are we perhaps too focused on it?" She asked here, more openly to the group. "Why would they pubically make such a big thing about it if they really didn't want us knowing..... could it be a distraction?
