The Scarman Enigma

[|Scarecrow|]

Lucas flew low over the treetops, keeping Obsidian four sheathed in her stealth field. He knew Manning and Obsidian five were close by, however he didnt have a direct line of sight. The two men they had been observing from a distance had uncovered two ships before launching and heading for the city. One of the vessels they were tailing was the Hammerhead; the second one was a design unknown to Lucas. It looked like a Dagger, a borderworld model commonly used among pirate factions. However its shape was slightly different to the schematics for the borderworld fighters Lucas had seen before.

Now, dusk had fallen over the Green Valley and would soon be enveloping Los Angeles Capital as the city slid gently into the shadow of night. The dull glow of the two low flying pirate fighters glinted in the distance, like twin fireflies glistening against the growing darkness. Further along, the sky glowed with the growing night time energy of LA Capital. Millions of lights began to brighten the night as night-goers began to flood into the cities central bars and clubs. Lucas had a growing feeling of dread about what might lay ahead, but he had kept his apprehension to himself as he and Kurt had tailed the two pirate fighters. Now it looked like they were heading into the heart of the city. But where, Lucas couldnt tell. All he could do was sit and wait as they followed their pray into the maze of colours and lights that lay ahead.

Jonah Denton scratched his chin as he punched in the code for Sayne Jadyns secure channel. He and his comrade Connor Bysshe had successfully lured the two Freedom Fighter operatives into following them and it was now time to radio through with their progress report. There was a slight buzz as the channel connected before the voice of Sayne Jadyn crackled over the other end of the line.
Denton, what have you got for me?
Results, Denton said with an air of pride. The two FF operatives are following us. They have active stealth fields, so I cant pin point them, but I know they are definitely behind us.
Roger that, good job, Sayne sounded pleased, Ill meet you in the Blue Vibe.

Jonah cut the link and opened a channel with Bysshe. Its all set up, the two Freedom Fighters will be at the mercy of Jadyn within the hour.
So the plan is going ahead, Connors voice replied.
Looks that way, remember to keep it nonchalant. We want to make this look as natural as possible.
I understand the ramifications of it not going to plan full well, Connor said, hinting on Jadyns seemingly uncontrollable wrath.
This will all be over soon, the Tyrant wont remain allies with Jadyn once the Freedom Fighters have been taken care of. Denton cracked his knuckles, Then we can finally be rid of him.
