"Restraining her might make her panic." You shake your head. "And we've seen what she's capable of when she's panicked."

"All right, but I'm trusting you to keep her under control." Tarin grunts as she makes another turn.

It seems like word of the raid on the base was starting to filter out to the general populace as more and more people were coming out onto the streets to gaze at the planes and columns of smoke rising above the airspace over the base. The crowd was making it all the harder to navigate the already clogged the streets.

"It feels like we're stuck." Vicky mumbles.

"Because we are." Tarin sighs. "Traffic is backed up everywhere, apparently."

"We're close the neighborhood, right?" You wonder.

"I wouldn't say it's close, but it's within walking distance." Tarin nods. "We'll be very exposed, though. And it won't be easy carrying the prisoner around without attracting notice."

"Right, better to stay in the car." You nod.

However, that doesn't change the fact that the trip over via car had basically been slowed to crawl. The roads were choked with damn rubberneckers who've stopped their cars in the middle of the road to gawk at the distant fighting. Meanwhile, the police weren't helping much, as they were shutting down intersections and crossings as a security measure. And the scarier thing was that you weren't completely sure whether they were secretly One Belka supporters or not. Things were that confusing and tense.

"It's been... kinda quiet." Vicky mumbles. "I wonder how the others are doing?"

"We're maintaining comms silence." Tarin explains. "We can get into contact once we get to our destination."

Yep, classic Tarin. Straight to the point.

"Yeah, let's keep things quiet for now." You tell Vicky.

"Okay..." Vicky gulps. "I'm just nervous that Annelise might wake up any moment now..."

"Don't worry about it." You reassure her. "Besides, there's me and Tarin here to help you out!"

"Yeah..." Vicky nods, trying to assure herself everything would be fine.

Suddenly, as if you and Vicky were tempting fate, Annelise's eyes snap open. They dart from side to side as she tries to figure out what's going on from her surroundings, and the first thing she locks her gaze onto is Vicky.

"Ummm, ummm, everything's fine?" She says weakly.

Annelise quickly scrambles to the opposite side of the car, where she hastily tries to open the door, However, in a bit of foresight on Tarin's part, the child lock is engaged so she can't actually open it from the inside. However, that meant she was trapped in the car with you all.

Worse, she was trapped in the backseat compartment with Vicky.

"Hey hey, calm down, Annelise." You say calmly. "We don't want to hurt you."

"Where are you taking me?" Annelise's eyes continue to dart around, as if looking for an escape route. "Are you going to kill me?"

"Of course not!" You hiss. "We just SAVED your ass, more like!"

"No... no." Annelise shakes her head. "This can't be happening. They were supposed to break us out..."

Annelise continues to scrunch up against the door, trying to maintain as much distance as possible in the enclosed space of the car.

"Guess things didn't go according to plan." You say grimly. "Maybe they thought it was just easier getting rid of you than taking you with them?"

"Sounds like something they'd say." You grunt. "They roped me in that same spiel too, you know. Telling you that you're their only hope, that you're vital to the cause. All that crap."

Annelise is quiet at that.

"Look, Annelise. I'm going to be straight with you." You give her a hard stare. "You're probably not all that different from me. You were angry, confused, and OB came along and told you what you wanted to hear. Get in the plane, fly it around for a bit. Then fly out and blow some things up. And every time they ask for a little bit more until you realize you're in too deep to go back."

"We're taking you somewhere safe." You assure her. "One of the last places OB would ever try to look for you."

"There isn't anywhere they can't go." Annelise mumbles. "That attack should be all the proof you need."

"Yeah, well, I can guarantee they won't come anywhere near where we're going." You grin. "You just gotta trust me!"

"That's asking a lot." Annelise narrows her eyes.

"Whether you trust us or not is immaterial." Tarin finally speaks up. "We're not deviating from our route. Plus, we're already here."

You glance at the windshield and realize that the car was now pulling up to Karla's house, the sight of which was doubly reassuring to you.

"Huh, guess we're here, then." You nod.

"Where exactly is 'here?'" Annelise asks cautiously.

"It's just a friend's house." You tell her. Probably best not to give away that this was Karla's place just yet. You didn't want her completely panicking.

"Finally!" Vicky groans. "We can get changed out of these disguises!"

"I can take care of her from here." Tarin notes calmly. "You and Vicky should get some rest."

Annelise gives an anxious look to both you and Tarin, obviously still nervous. While Tarin did have a sort of... menacing air around her, she was pretty competent and you had no doubts she could keep Annelise under control, physically at least. Plus, you got the feeling that Annelise might still not be fully comfortable being around you.

But yeah, even you had to admit Tarin could be pretty damn scary, even if she didn't mean to.

"I think I'll stay with her." You say. "You should help out Vicky."

"You sure you're fine being alone with her?" Tarin raises an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I don't think she's going to try anything, right?" You turn to Annelise.

"...it's not like I have anywhere else to go." She replies quietly.

"Understood." Tarin nods. "Take her to the guestroom, then. I'll bring a change of clothes for the both of you later."

"Sure thing." You nod as you usher Annelise inside.

The house currently was empty. Elisa had school at this hour, and Karla and Jager were busy people. In fact, you figure the both of them were out to pick up Elisa, given how the whole city has been put on alert. This at least afforded some privacy for Annelise, and also meant Elisa wasn't going to ruin the moment by being the little shit that she was!

You show Annelise to the guestroom, and she pauses to inspect the room. Maybe she was curious, or perhaps she was looking for traps or recording devices. Those were hard habits to break, after all. However, Annelise finally relaxes just a bit and sits down on the bed.

"This house is... very nice." Annelise admits. "Do you come here often?"

"Often enough." You nod.

There's a brief, awkward pause for a few seconds.

"What did One Belka do to make you leave?" Annelise asks out of the blue, taking you somewhat off guard.

"Well, they DID try to toss me out of a helicopter once." You grunt, recalling how OB had kidnapped you once and held you hostage as leverage against Karla. Man, that was an experience that you would rather forget. It was thanks to Karla's intervention that you were even alive at all

"No way." Annelise shakes her head in disbelief.

"That's what they did to me, and what they'll ultimately do to you." You caution. "They only want your flying skills, and that's it. Once they get what they want they'll just toss you aside."

Annelise is quiet again as she seemingly contemplates what you told her.

"I.... I see." Annelise nods blankly as she listens to what you have to say. Not that she could do much else, honestly. However, it seems like the shock of what's happened today means what you're saying is starting to sink into her.

"Doing things the peaceful way may not be as exciting or quick, but at least it usually doesn't involve hurting other people." You nod. "Especially when it comes to tricking people into going to war against each other. It's the lowest of the low."

"I... should get some rest now." Annelise mutters, her eyelids fluttering. Damn, she must have been struggling to stay awake for a while, considering all the crap she had to go through today.

Hell, YOU had to go through a lot of crap today, too!

You head down to the kitchen, where you see Vicky with her head down on the table.

"Uggggh, I'm so tired." Vicky groans. "So tired I can't even go to sleep."

"Yeah, I feel the same way." You sigh. You note that Vicky was finally out of that secretary disguise and in some more casual clothing. Pity, really. You sorta liked that look.

"I wonder if everybody's okay." Vicky mumbles. "I've been watching the news, but they don't know much, either."

"I'm sure they're fine." You pat Vicky on the shoulder.

"It's just terrible, having to wait to find things out." Vicky mumbles.

"How about we take a look at the data you recovered?" You ask.

"Nnnnnn, I guess." Vicky finally pulls her face off the table and slides a nearby laptop over slotting in the data drive. "I didn't get a chance to look at this but let's see what we have..."

You peek over Vicky's shoulder as she browses through the files, easily sifting through folders and lines of jargon as it were like child's play to her.

"Ah, we're really lucky the data isn't encrypted!" Vicky nods. "That saves us a lot of work!"

"So, anything good?" You ask, leaning in more.

"Um, well, it looks like there's two different files of interest." Vicky frowns. "One is some sort of weapons platform, the other is a location in the middle of the north sea. In the middle of nowhere."

"Let's see what that location marker is about." You say.

"Okay, checking..." Vicky frowns. "It's pretty far to the north of Belka, but Grunder lists it as the location of a 'research outpost.' What they're researching out there is anybody's guess, though."

"Well, can't you bring up a layout of the facility or something?"

"Bringing up the map..." Vicky nods. "Okay, there we go and- what?!"

The map begins to render on the screen, and you're caught off guard when you recognize what you're looking, as well. A single, large rail running along the top of a glacier and arcing into the sky.

"A space launch ramp!" Vicky blinks. "There was one there this entire time?"

"They must have been building it in secret." You scowl. "All the existing ones have either been decommissioned or are under international control."

Now it was starting to make sense. Those rocket boosters and sleds you found on Grunder's cargo ship. Was that where everything was being shipped to?

"Vicky, bring up that weapon data!" You nudge her shoulder. "That's probably the payload!"

"But what kind of weapon?" Vicky frowns. "From the positioning, that launch ramp isn't pointing towards Osea or Belka. Are they trying to put something into orbit?"

"Bring it up!" You hiss.

"Okay! Okay!" Vicky taps away at the keyboard and weapon schematics and reports begin popping up.

"W-what is this?" You feel the blood drain from your face.

"ARKBIRD II." Vicky squints. "A fusion of the Arkbird's spaceflight capability with the Arsenal Bird's offensive firepower. With its fully automated operations, third generation Strategic Laser System, in combination with a direct power supply from the International Space Elevator solar collection network, the ARKBIRD II may stay in orbit indefinitely with minimal impact to combat efficiency. The third generation SLS also removes the previous Arkbird's vulnerability of dropping into lower orbit in order to utilize its first generation laser capability."

"The bastards want to put an Arsenal Bird into space!" You exclaim.

"The regular ones are bad enough!" Vicky whimpers.

You're not gonna lie, even you're a bit intimidate at the mention of this thing. A souped up Arsenal Bird? Who the hell would want to fight something like that?!

"W-well maybe they never even built the thing yet!" Vicky says hopefully.

"I highly doubt that." Karla sighs as she enters through the backdoor. "They wouldn't have gone through all this trouble if they weren't intending to launch it."

"Gah!" Vicky yelps, startled by Karla's sudden presence.

"Oh, sorry about that." Karla says apologetically before turning to you. "Tarin told me everything. So Annelise is holed up here?"

"That's right." You nod. "She uh, doesn't actually know this is your house."

"Yeah, just complicate things even more." Karla groans. "Jager is taking Elisa over to Uncle's, given all the shit popping up in Dinsmark."

"Sorry to hear that."

"Comes with the territory." Karla waves it off. "So it looks like your snooping paid off."

"It looks like we've got the gist of their whole plan." Vicky nods.

"Great. If we send this to Belkan Security and the IUN, we may be able to nip this thing in the bud." Karla sighs.

"Whoa wait, you're gonna tell the IUN, Osea about this?" You blink.

"I can almost guarantee you that this... perversion of the Arkbird was assembled and is being stored at Grunder's HQ in North Osea." Karla narrows her eyes. "And the last thing anybody wants is Belkan planes flying into Osean airspace without warning."

I mean, we are gonna have to go to South Belka at some point anyway. It just doesn't seem particularly wise to let a hostile government get a hold of such a strong vehicle. We should either capture it or destroy it. If the Oseans try to crack down on the Anschluss vote later on I'd rather them not have this new toy. That would not be ideal

"They're gonna screw everything up!" You protest.

"Well, like or not, that's still Osean airspace, which means we'd need their permission to operate in there." Karla points out. "In addition, there's still that launch ramp up north. You're going to need a big navy to siege a facility like that and unfortunately, a big navy is something Belka doesn't have."

"Well, if we take out the launch facility, that thing will be useless anyways, right?" You point out.

"Um, the ARKBIRD II does have conventional turbine engines so it can transition to normal atmospheric flight." Vicky gulps. "Even if it can reach space, it can still cause a huge mess if it's set loose."

"And they'll be breaking that thing out very soon, if they were ballsy enough to attack Dinsmark Base in broad daylight." Karla scowls. "Either way, we have to pass it up to Uncle. He'll decide what to do with it from there."

Karla then leans forward towards the laptop and taps a few keys. You see a small progress bar fill up as the extracted data is repacked and sent off to Uncle's encrypted email address.

"I guess all we can do now is wait." Karla sighs and glances out the window. "Shit, it's getting dark already? This was a really long damn day."

For sure.

You then hear loud snoring, and you turn to see Vicky already passed out on the table.

"You should go get some rest too, Milly." Karla nudges your shoulder. "It's been a long day for you too, yeah?"

>Yeah, I could use some rest.

"Yeah, I could use some rest." You yawn.

"Well, I think I'll put Vicky up in the second guestroom." Karla nods as she gently picks her up. "Milly, you can borrow Elisa's room tonight. She's going to be staying over at Uncle's for a bit anyways, so she won't be back for a while."

"Elisa's room?" You pause.

"If that's a bit too kiddy for you, you could just borrow my bed." Karla shrugs. "I'll probably be up all night trying to hammer all these damn details out."

"Nah, I'm cool with sharing a bed with Vicky." You shrug.

Karla pauses and then just gives you a curious look. However, her lips slowly curl into a smug grin.

"Ooooooooh, so that's how it is, huh, Milly? That's pretty bold of you!"

"Well, I"m working on it." You shrug.

"Oh, my little Milly is growing up so fast!" Karla giggles as she ruffles your hair. "Well, good luck with that!"

"Yeah, yeah." You roll your eyes.

Karla helps carry Vicky to the second guestroom, where she carefully sets Vicky down on the bed. She gives you another playful wink before heading for the door.

"I'll be sure to give you two some privacy! Night!"

"Night." You yawn

And so you strip off all your extra clothes and crawl into bed with Vicky...

You're much more tired than you thought. You practically pass out the moment you lay down in bed next to Vicky.

The next time you open your eyes, you're almost afraid to see Annelise sitting in the room staring at you sleep, but thankfully that didn't happen. You and Vicky were still alone in the room.

However, during the night, you had found yourself having wrapped your arms around Vicky in what was admittedly a pretty damn intimate embrace, both of your bodies pressed against each other.

"M-Milly?" Vicky squeaks.

Oh, guess she was awake now, too.

You feel Vicky's body grow even hotter in your embrace.

"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-" Vicky stammers, clearly on the edge of completely freaking out.

"Shhhhh, it's okay, Vicky, it's me." You whisper to her.

Your voice does seem to calm her down, and she stops struggling, though her body is still hot to the touch.

"Milly, what are you doing!?" Vicky whispers back. "This is lewd! Scandalous!"

"Haha, being lewd and scandalous comes with being a pilot, you know!" You laugh heartily.

"Seriously, Milly!" Vicky pouts. "What if somebody came by and saw us like this?"

"Dunno. We don't have anything to hide."

"Milly!" Vicky groans when you hear a knock on the door.

"Hey, you two sleepyheads all right in there?" Karla's muffled voice asks.

"Yeah! We're awake!" You respond.

"Well hurry up and get outta bed! There's a lot to take care of today!"

Without missing a beat, you and Vicky get out f bed and start getting dressed.

You can already smell breakfast as you and Vicky make your way to the dining room, where you see Karla setting up the table.

"Hey, where's Annelise?" You wonder.

"Still asleep, apparently." Karla shrugs. "But we can start without her if you want."

You reach Annelise's door and knock on it.

"Hey, Annelise, you awake yet?" You ask. "Breakfast is ready!"

No answer.

"Annelise?" You knock again.

Still no answer.

Your gut feeling begins to warn you that something was off, causing you to pull the door open, and all you see is an empty bed and an open window.

Guess keeping Annelise around was going to be a lot harder than you thought.

You're just left dumbfounded for a few seconds as you take in the scene. The empty bed, the open window. Yeah, it was pretty clear that Annelise had taken off. Was she scared? Trying to get back with OB? You weren't too sure.

However, you do see a note on the table. Curious, you take a look at it. Initially, you think it was left behind by Annelise, but you recognize Tarin's precise handwriting.

>Annelise took off. Following her.

Yep, short and straight to the point.

Absolutely not. Karla would just tell Bandit or the IUN, and bringing her would freak Anna out. We have to do this on our own. It needs to be a heart to heart.

You quickly dash back to the kitchen, where Karla and Vicky were already getting breakfast prepped.

"Uh, it looks like Annelise bolted." You sigh.

"Oh, is that so?" Karla shrugs.

"You seem pretty nonchalant about this." You raise an eyebrow.

"There pretty much isn't anything that goes on in this house without Tarin knowing about it." Karla explains simply as she pours a glass of orange juice. "Don't worry, if you feel like going after her, I'll keep the food warm for you. Vicky, are you going, too?"

"O-of course I will!" Vicky quickly stands up in her seat.

"Well, have fun, you two. Try to play nice." Karla grins.

Both you and Vicky dash out of the back door. However, there's one thing you forgot-

"Which way do we go?" Vicky glances from side to side.

Honestly, there was only two directions Annelise could have gone. To the front was the main street. If she wanted to try and find a vehicle to commandeer or hitch a ride on, it would be that way. On the other hand, to the back, there was not only the large backyard, but a sizeable forested area that proved to be a great place to hide in once you hopped the fence. You remember Elisa always sneaking back there when playing hide and seek...

"Let's head to the back!" You say, making a beeline for the backyard. You dodge the swimming pool and the playground as you make your way to the rear end of the backyard, easily vaulting the wood fence.

"M-Milly!" You hear Vicky yelp.

You turn around and see that your poor, vertically challenged wingmate was simply too short to be able to scale the fence the same way you did. Her arms were barely even long enough to grip the top of the fence, much less climb over it.

"C'mon, Vicky." You roll your eyes as you head back and help pull her over the fence.

"W-well I didn't know the fence was going to be that high!" Vicky pouts. "A-and you better not tell the others about this!"

"Sure, sure." You chuckle as you glance around trying to look for any signs of which direction Annelise went.
