Carn:
Hangar Bay

"Well say it then."

"I'll be seeing to my ship then Alister."

"Alright then. Try not and send to much rust my way."

Alexi roars with laughter as he walks off.

Piemanlives:
--Eagle's Shadow, Hanger Bay--

Reagan gave a Frey a look, Honestly, she thought, If he's going to try and convince someone of anything he should at least try harder before asking other for help. Instead of saying that out loud she sighed and placed a hand on Courage's shoulder and began pulling him along.

"Courage," she said as she pulled him closer to the exit, "There are things that can be said, and things that can be said. Best you follow us."

Dahlia raised an eyebrow, Is everything alright?

Reagan slightly waved her off, Should be.

All the while Lorena stood alongside the twins and Amelia when a thought came to her causing a sigh to escape her lips. She looked around and found a cozy looking corner in the back of the hanger bay, quietly she pulled Amelia along and shortly the two of them found themselves secluded away from the others.

"Is something wrong?" Amelia asked her.

"Actually I just had a really bad idea, want to help?"

Amelia just stood there looking at her with an odd face, "That depends."

"Brilliant, all we need is one of those contracts you signed and a way to get into the warehouse without the others noticing."

(Yes I have just signed her on, and yes this is the last cast member I'll be introducing to the party, so the Quartet of what has been firmly established.)

Koali:
Outside the Eagle's Shadow

After what seems like several minutes, Koali shakes himself and starts toward the ship.

"Yo! Carn! I got food!"

BdrLineAzn:
Eagle's Shadow Frey's Quarters

Confused as to why he is being lead into a room, Courage enters the sleeping/office quarters of the Commander. A decent size room, all it contains is a single twin size bed, a desk, and two bookshelves filled with various files. Letting Reagan and Courage enters first, Frey shuts the hatch behind him before turning to him.

"You maybe wondering why we brought you here." Frey starts.

"Between the both of you," Cpurage points between them, "Yes. So what is so important that you dragged me from having a simple day."

"Birds," was all Frey says in a grave tone.

If it was a normal person who was in the room besides Courage they would have look at the Commander as if he grew a pair of horns, but Courage is no ordinary person. Hearing the stories from BdrLine and having fought for his life several times against them, Courage understands what Frey is saying which confirms his suspicions ealier.

"It can't be...I was there when we killed off their leadership."

"Looks like they don't die easily from the numerous times they came back."

"Wait, so this expidition..."

"Is a scouting mission to search for them, we have several other teams conductin searches in the north and west."

Going over to one of the booksshelves, Frey retrieves a folder and places it on the desk. Extending his arm, Courage takes the invitation and looks through the files.

As he read through he asks Frey, "Why are you telling me this? Couldn't you ask maybe your Captain, or even the crew from the Saloon?"

"Your friends have done so much already, we wouldn't want to risk their lives again. But this is a covert operation, the less military involment the better."

"Okay, but why me?"

"You are one of the few who have knowledge of this group and actually fought against them. With you we have an edge."

Courage drops into the desk's chair as he takes in the information.

What to do, I'm on vacation for flak sakes. Hmmm, I can accept this since they don't need me back soon, but still my life is going to be on the line again.

Groaning Courage lays his head on the desk that gives off an audible thud. A few seconds pass where he stands up and looks at Frey.

"Can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm in. Just give me time to get ready."

Nodding, Frey lets Courage go as he exits out of the room. Once he is out of earshot Frey says to Reagan, "This is going to be one eventful trip isn't it."

Going over to his desk, he opens a drawer and pulls out a flask which he starts to drink out of.

Hanger Bay

Finding his way back, Courage finds Dalhia. He then pulls her aside, "Something has came up and I need to go back to the Wild Winds and get my belongings. I'll be back."

Piemanlives:
--Eagle's Shadow, Frey's Quarters--

She gave a sigh as she sat on the edge of his desk.

"Honestly," she said as she pulled out and popped the top off her own flask, "Were you expecting anything different?" She toasted his flask and took a swig.

"Still," her face took on a more serious look, "If there's one thing I've learned from Firnfeld it's taking out their leaders is only going mildly inconvenience them, we either wipe them out completely or die trying. No inbetweens on this one, no one would be willing to do what they've done if they didn't believe in... whatever it is they're doing."

She shook her head as she stood, "No use in worrying about right now I guess. Commander." With that she left the room and went about wondering what she could to pass the time, probably bring her personal cargo to her room.

--Eagle's Shadow, Hanger Bay--

Dahlia wove her arm around his, "Well? Shall we get a move on?"

In a secluded corner of the hanger bay Lorena and Amelia were still talking quietly between the two of the them.

"That can wait until tomorrow though. I have things to do so I'll see you tomorrow."
