"My thoughts exactly." Samiel replies over the phone. "You two
need to get out of the city, it's about to go on lockdown in an
hour and will prevent any planes from leaving. I'm trying to
muster any news I get about whose behind all this. In the
meantime, get your things and go. Lima, I'll be on frequency
126.9. Do you have the coordinates?"
By now Lima turns off the TV and gets to work. "I do. We're
heading out now." The phone hangs up as the agent goes to a
large closet. "Lina, get to the fridge, grab a pair of water
bottles. If you need a gun, I got then here in the closet.
Anything sharp, check under the kitchen counter." She hauls out
two backpacks and opens then up, filling them with essential
survival equipment.

"Will do," was Lina's simple reply before Samiel hung up.
Returning the phone to the table, she quickly headed to the
fridge. She got out the water bottles and tossed them to Lima
before selecting her weapons.
Lina didn't like guns, but she knew how to use them, and
realized that they were sometimes necessary. She selected a
large Smith & Wesson Model 29 and a holster, then headed to the
counter to get a small simple dagger to strap onto her leg. She
wanted to optimistic, she did. She wanted to rely on the weapon
she was truly trained in, but instinct was telling her to be
ready for a bigger fight than she was anticipating.
She walked over to Lima. "Need any help?" she offered gruffly.

"No, we're set to go." Lima replies, slinging her backpack over
her sounder. She holsters her C96 and a kukri machete. "We have
to make a beeline to the airport. If they keep us grounded, our
chances of finding the other Directors will be erased." She
knows things will escalate. It's just a matter of if they'll be
ready for it.
It'll be another half hour when the two pegasi find themselves
trotting onto the airfield. As they near the hangar, they are
met with Saddle Arabian soldiers and mechanics. "Ah shit. Hold
back Lina, let's see what's going on." The agent calls out to
them in their native tongue. One of the soldiers approaches her.
The doors to the hangar open, Lima's plane rolls out decked
front to back with armaments. Lima herself lets out a small
squeal of surprise as she examines it. After a few more words,
the soldiers and mechanics walk off, leaving the two mares to
their aircraft. "Lina! Hop in!"

Lina took the other backpack, and nodded determinedly.
She paused when as Lima was approached, and eyed the soldier
suspiciously as she tensed. One eyebrow rose when she caught
sight of Lima's plane, but as she heard the other pegasus, she
found her knees locking again.She spoke in a low voice. "Lima,
can we trust them? I know how easily machines can be... tampered
with."

"My thoughts exactly Lina." Lima's eyes scan every detail of the
dashboard, ensuring the plane was well fueled and stocked. "But
they came out here on Samiel's order. It's bittersweet. I get my
plane upgraded, but more than likely it's because we may need it
in the near future. Everything checks out on this end. Jump in
the back and check that end." The rear of the plane is now
equipped with a light machine gun rating on a bipod connected to
the plane. A compartment on both sides would reveal a stockpile
of ammo.

Lina forced herself to get in and examine the rear of the plane.
Her eyes swept over the ammunition. She had to admit, she didn't
know much about planes, but everything looked alright. She
looked over to Lima.
"It looks good on this end..." Even so, her voice was thick with
hesitation.

As Lima inspected the dashboard, she finds a note. Written on it
was a radio frequency. "Huh..." Tuning her radio, she only deals
with a bit of static. Once she gets the right one, the static
fades way. "Hello, this is Lima. Anyone there?"
Samiel's voice cracks through, "Lima! Is that you? How'd you
like the upgrades?"
"Love em!" The former agent answers. "Where are you right now?"
"I'm in my own plane, heading towards your next destination."
His tone becomes more serious, "Lima, things are worse than
expected! The Hidden Daggers, what's left of them, have been
converging around there as well. The remaining Directors are all
relocated there."
"So it's going to get hot over there. Noted." Lima revs up the
engine, adjusting the mirrors. "Lina, strap in for this one."

Lina's ears swiveled towards the dashboard as she heard Samiel's
voice. She noted the new information, taking a deep breath.
There was no time for her foalish fears now. She was going to
kill those who murdered her parents, and if it took walking
through Tartarus and back... so be it.
She got in her seat and tightly strapped herself in.

In a loud buzz the plane takes off into the sky. Although the
trip isn't as long as the last one, it would take some time.
Partly cloudy skies greet them above. The wind is only light as
they glide along the air. A couple of hours later, Lima is still
silent. The sudden crack on their radio would break her out of
her stupor.
"Hello? Lima? It's Samiel," the voice on the other side breaks
through. "Lima, the Hidden Daggers, what was left of them,
they're attacking multiple cities and bases. There's... there's
more than we've expected. It gets worse. An armored train has
been hijacked. It holds munitions and a means to propel them.
The train is heading to your destination. After that, if leads
into a series of tunnels in the mountains."
"Well they be using it the train to assault whoever where
going?" Lima asks.
"I doubt it. There's no way they could use the munitions, they
need to be stationary to set it up." Static resonates for a
short time. "Still, I don't recommend going it near it. It has a
good set of teeth."

Lina listened intently, glad for the distraction from the
stressful flight. After Samiel warned them against going near
the hijacked train, Lina cut in to address Lima.
"Lima... I don't understand." It pained her to admit such a
thing, but she wasn't foolish enough to endanger herself because
she wasn't willing to ask a question. "...why are the Hidden
Daggers attacking? Could they still somehow be acting on the
orders of the Directors?" She grit her teeth and then added,
"Haven't they done enough as is?!"
