Finishing up, Dyson nodded. " Then maybe it was just his way of saying goodbye. I mean no one else would know that knife was from from you." He paled slightly and he looked at Sam. " Except one person. " He turned to Marianna, and looked nervous to say it. " Gantry would know about that knife. Was if he has something to do with it?"

Turning to Dyson, Sam asks "Why would Gantry want to make it look like Shep was dead and then make sure that Mariana found the knife?"

"Well..." Mariana says. "First of all, let's not lose focus on the fact that Shep's deserted before I go on."
She leans in conspiratorially between Sam, Dyson and McCain.
"Gantry's son was one of the kids from Westvale. Now, I'm not sure why, but Shep was trying to smuggle the kid out of the way. Either from Gantry or from Shep. So, who knows, maybe Gantry wants us to find Shep as part of a revenge plot. Or, maybe Shep wants us to find him, while Gantry still thinks he's dead. Maybe Shep wants me to find him so he can confess his undieing love for me."
She sighs.
"Frankly, Shep is so dense, I have no idea why he does anything. Though, usually his only rational is because it makes sense in his head, regardless of the influences of reality." She looks at Sam. "He made me hop around instead of being on a nice cozy psyche leave. I owe him nothing."

Dyson shakes his head, rubbing his temples with his palms at Marianna's conspiracy theroys. " A simple I dunno would have sufficed." He smirked as he slipped on his helmet, ducking aboard the helicopter first. From the cockpit, Lt. Greer started the rotors turning. Once everyone was aboard, his voice came over the intercom. " So where does the sightseeing tour head next?"

"If you do not want the answers to questions, Dyson, stop asking." Mariana sighs. At the helicopter, she awaits Sam's suggestion.

Replying to Greer, Sam says "We head west." and gives him the co-ordinates of where they are going.

Dyson didn't reply, instead he stared out over the base with a sulky expression as the Black Lightning lifted off. Greer replied over the intercomm. " Yes Ma'am. Anywheres important, or take the scenic route?" He pauses once he has the co-ordinates. " You realize this will put us near Pecos held territory, right?"

Sam nods "Yeah, I know. Let's try to find a spot that keeps us as far away from Pecos held territory as possible."

" Yes ma'am, one scenic route coming up." Greer replied over the intercomm as the helicopter surged ahead and pulled up.
The long boring flight took them south and Greer took the chopper lower as they neared the coordniates. " Be there in..." An audible alarm downed out Greer's voice until he shouted. " Everyone strap in, going evasive!" The Black Lightning juked and pulled up, but it was pointless as something slammed into the tail of the helicopter, sending it into a spin. " Hang on, we're going down!" Greer announced.
Seconds seemed like hours as the helicopter dropped out of the sky. Miraculously, Greer somehow managed to slow their descent to a hard thud as they hit ( everyone takes 6 SDC from the impact ).
Dyson groaned and looked around at the others. " Everyone okay?"

Sam shakes her head and replies to Dyson "I'm ok. Is everyone else ok?" While she waits for the others to answer, she grabs her rifle and keeps an eye out for any potential attackers or ambushes. (detect ambush: 30% out of 42%, pass)

Mariana also hops out of the crashed vessel. "What? No airport?" She smirks at Greer (who would be "Soulpatch" if his name didn't always appear in posts  ) Crouching low and moving to the bush, she also starts to secure the area. (Trap/Mine detection 42% out of 43%) |

Climbing from the cockpit, Greer kicked the helicopter soundly. " My copilot's dead. And this thing is toast. I don't even know if Drew's mayday got off before we hit."

McCain lets a small smile pass his lips, "I thought you could crash with more dignity than that." He says as he raises his rifle looking for any targets.
OOC-Sorry for being gone so long, but the new addition has had his days and nights backwards and we have had a parade of family and guests. I still may be a little slow but I am back. Thanks again.

Greer rolled his eyes at McCain. " Next time I'll ask permission first. We're all lucky we didn't end up like Drew." He reached into the cockpit and pulled out a pilot's TacVest and put it on and slipped an NG Super into it's holster. " Guess I'm going with to wherever you're going before company gets here. Where are we headed anyways?" Marianna bush crawl turned up nothing except for disturbing a sleeping porcupine beneath a bush. (Thankfully there are no mines nearby...  ) [tag] No prob, and welcome back |

McCain looks at the group, "Well I suggest we move a little ways away and take cover to watch for any followers."
