VLDR - Zero Tether Dilemma | Federico End

[Cyantic]

The waitress is long gone, only broken glass and spilt wine remains.

[Hawkwing425]

I wouldn't completely disregard the possibility of this being a joint project between Cerulean and Titan. They have a pretty ill-repute.

Exactly what I was considering. Hell, maybe we could throw Ilya in there, too. Say that everyone’s in on it, why not?
With her dry tone, it’s hard to tell if she’s being sarcastic or not.

[AcidicBreeze]

Kaitlyn gives a nervous smile
I yes.. lets see what the captain thinks.. maybe we could pay out the ransom right now.

[Cyantic]

Kaitlyn leaves to go to the cockpit.

[Knockoff]

Ah, what a shame. It does stand to reason that if anyone knows about our current situation, it would be the Captain. Someone had to move the unconscious bodies and both Emily and the flight attendant claim ignorance.

I would assume that the Captain is at the cockpit. I can’t say I’m pleased at the runaround but we have little choice.

[TheNiceOne16]

*Vano watches almost clinically as she runs away*
Cockpit it is.

[Cyantic]

Vano, Hywel, Hawk, and Roque leave. PMs.

[Cyantic]

Kaitlyn and Vano arrive.

Fabiano, Hywel, Roque, and Hawk are present.

The room is genuinely brimming with all sorts of buttons, lights, levers... whatever the hell this is, it's complicated. The screens show radar currently pulled up, it seems that you are in the middle of a raging storm, somewhere in Siberia.

A man is handcuffed to the chair, unable to move from it. He's somewhat awake.

[Knockoff]

If we haven’t crashed yet and this plane is connected to Cerulean Robotics, perhaps an AI is piloting it. I think. I hope.

[Phinerxen]

Might be a chance this isn't a plane. Remember the window in the passenger's room?

[Hawkwing425]

Damn it. Still feeling that malaise. Why...?

Let me take a look at this. Also, Vano, Kaitlyn, tried to get the man to react and respond via tapping his feet. No dice.

[Phinerxen]

Yeah, his wrists are also fucked to hell. I'm not a doc, so I can't exactly tell, but point is he's not gonna be able to write, period.

[TheNiceOne16]

*Vano looks at everyone in the room speaking*
I brought a crude way for the pilot to speak.
*Vano turns to the pilot and softens ever so softly*
Please write what happened to you.

[spretznaz]

His wrists are fucked. Wait...

[Cyantic]

Vano seems to be trying to get the man to write, but it just... isn't working. He seems barely aware of his surroundings.

[Knockoff]

It’s possible we’re not on a plane but seems unlikely. I distinctly remember boarding a plane and there were no lapses in my consciousness.

His condition doesn’t seem to be rapidly deteriorating but if he’s not treated...

[Cyantic]

Also Kaitlyn leaves so say goodbye to the thread lads. To PMs!

[Cyantic]

(Arcthurus), Hawk, Vano, Nelson, Hywel, (Yau) and Federico all sit in sleeping, with Hawk and Vano just arriving.

[Cyantic]

Roque shows up as well.

[Hawkwing425]

Well, Vano, would you like to explain to the rest what just happened, or should I?

[XerxesLeFan]

[Nelson shakes his head to the side.]

I hate being right sometimes. The nature of your letter is perhaps as personal as the nature of mine. Damning.

[Phinerxen]

You all recieved letters as well?

[Arcthurus]

What're you so surprised about, Nelson? This is a megacorp we're talking about, data gathering and surveilance are child's play even to a group like Titan.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

Well, I suppose I'll clear the air then. I've got nothing to hide in this letter.

Fred shows his letter to the group

"This going to be your last case, Federico? Going to the grave over a dead company? Heh. I admire you. You've got guts - you've got spirit.

In another age, I'd bet on you. In this age... well, we'll see, won't we? One way or another, I think this'll be the last case for you. Solved or unsolved.

Alive or dead. What else can you do after solving the case of the century?

Best of luck.
Leontiy Artemei"

He turns to Vano

Check your letter, will you?

[Cyantic]

Vano, suddenly, moves to Passengers. (misread the action sorry)
