"Yes I damn well do, son. Now, I'm past due to be leaving. Lt. Hunt will finish the briefing, and then Mr. Thomas will fill you in regarding your mode of transport. Cheerio, folks - and don't forget, the peace of the Eversky is resting on your shoulders." The General gave them a wink, and heaved himself to his feet, his old bones practically creaking.

As he made his way to the door, Daniel stepped into his place.

"Alright, listen closely, the plan has remained relatively fluid to compensate for any leaks in our network, but we can reveal the rough gist of things. Samuel, you know most of this already, but you might as well listen in too." Daniel produced a pencil from his shirt pocket, and pointed with it to the city of Solace, on the map on the table,

"From here, our first port of call will be the Iron Dominion, for obvious reasons. There's a rough game plan in place already for how we deal with their situation," He continued, glancing at Sam, "but it remains hypothetical for now, and is subject to change. To get there, we're going to take the southerly current towards the Red League, and then drop down into a lower level of the Luft, and essentially double back on ourselves, to make use of a rarely travelled path, and avoid detection by anyone who already knows our mission."

"We're set to stop here, here, and here, but that could easily change - as I said, the plan is fluid." He enunciated, pointing to three separate small islands, only two of which were labelled as inhabited.

"From there, we're likely to move on the Oakheart Sovereignty, but that'll mean a brief period of travel without the use of the Upper Luft, as there does not exist a jetstream either stable enough or long enough to get us continuously from A to B, here."

"That naturally makes the Red League our final phase in this little venture. Our plan for that part of this mission is not presently formulated. We shall make it up on the fly - erm, no pun intended." Daniel furrowed his brows at the genuinely unintentional pun.

"Sam? Care to tell us about the mode of travel we'll be using?"
