--Fyodor's Guildhall--
"You three, get the west corridor. I'll take another team to the east. Find those intruders!" screamed the head of security.
A chorus of of "Yes Sirs" come from the three as they pull out their night stick in one hand and a radio in another. Since their scene in the lobby, Courage and his ragtag group are running wild in the massive building trying to find it's owner. There were several close calls with the guards who happen to be in the area unknowing of the situation. After picking up one of their radios, Farris overhears a transmission.
"Double up the patrols. These maniacs need to be caught" came the rough voice of the security head.
"One thing for sure, we are maniacs." Farris agrees, "Why did you talk us into this?"
"Hey he owns me and several of my friends big time. Besides he will agree oncei tell him the purpose of why we need them." Courage calls back while still running and closing in on a door.
Behind him closely, Marie catches up and pulls his collar stopping him, "All this trouble for scouting planes for a surveying mission. I don't think that is a valid reason."
Letting him go, she crosses her arms and wait for Antonio and Farris to catch up, "Before we continue, what is really going on? I should havve suspected something as you, out of the entire crew, keeps being called by the Captain for meetings. And you are some ex guard of sorts."
Hearing the yells of security coming down the hall, Courage looks at the woman and over her seeing the shadows coming around the corner, "Ok, this is not a surveying mission per say. There is more to it, I'll explain once we are back to the ship. Right now we to find Fyodor and not get caught."
Grabbing the handle, Courage pulls and tries to walk in before falling over someone.
"What in the world is this!!" came an familiar voice, "Ohh, you again...."
Rubbing his head, Courage tries to stand up before being detained by the buildings security.
"My apologies Master Fyodor, these four where seen trying to break in. Don't worry we'll take them away." The head of security explains.
Sighing, Fyodor says to the man, "Release them." earning several huh's from security and Courage's group.
"This young fellow here is Mr. Bell, a very close associate of one of the Zhaos." he explains, "If he is here, then he must have something important."
With a smug smile on his face, the security lets him and his group go before saying one last apology. Once gone, Fyodor turns to the group.
"Well if you are here, follow me. Must be really important if you are willing to cause my security to go on a wild goose chase." He says with a wave before going through the door Courage opened.
"You know a Zhao?" whispers Anotonio to him.
'Yeah, he is a friend of mine. Azn Zhao, lives in Anvala." he answers.
Inside the office, Fyodor moves behind his desks and motions them to take a seat, "So if you are here, I'm assuming you are with the transport that the Councilwoman allowed to dock within the Military Docks? So is it supplies you need?"
"Yes and some more, we have a small plane squadron on the transport that have taken quite a beating. We only have three functional planes and handful of spare parts."
"So you need a new squadron of planes," the Guild master deduces.
"Yes," Marie spoke, "These two and myself are part of workforce of maintaining the planes. We are here to evaluate what you have in stock." Courage nodding along.
"How about this, just got a shipment form Chaladon. New plane that we acquired from one of their factories. Dubbed Spitfire for the amount of fire it outputs."
"You have them here?" Asks Farris.
"Yes, I can take you to the airfield and show you." Fyodor offers.
"Well Chaladon haven't made a bad plane yet." Marie debates, "I want to see them myself."
"Very well," Fyodor stands, "I'll make a call to arrange for us to go to the field. If you can wait out in front of the building."
Nodding, Farris, Antonio, and Marie stands and exits the office. Still sitting, Courage watches as Fyodor finishes his call.
"That easy to get planes? What are you trying to pull?" He asks.
Walking around his desk, He retrieves his coat and suitcase of one of his cabinets, "You don't think I know the reason that transport is here? I got several recon reports of two more groups in the North and West. So apparently the Baronies are trying to hunt down the last of the Birdmen and you need more supplies because you manage to get into a mishap with one."
"That's spot on." Courage standing up amazed.
"I told your friend Zhao that we are trying to cover up our association with that group. I am willing to to help... to a degree. So are you coming or what?" holding the door for him.
--Air Field--
1400
After an hour drive, they manage to get to the city's lone air field. Already on the tarmac are two Spitfires being serviced by several maintenance workers. Sporting forest camo, they stick out to the tan of the desert. Stopping the vehicle, the chauffeur opens the door to let them out. Walking towards the planes, Marie quickly walks ahead of them and start looking over one of the planes.
"She is very enthusiastic," Fyodor observes, "Well these are your to test. There are suits over in the hanger and the planes are ready to go."
