"I suggest you don't do anything rash, as much as I lovea good catfight I'd hate to hurt any of you."
*Malvia then rose his head as an idea flashed behind his eyelids. He expressed himself a bit too calmly for what he was about to annonce.
"Mr. Ether, it is entirely possible the ennemy has Ground-Air missiles,or even worse, that they highjacked the DCA system. Judging by the explosion of our meeting room and the jamming of our communication systems, I think it's reasonnable to assume our position is copromised. I suggest you fly us in low altitude, just above the building or even between them if you're able, as it should prevent the automatised system to shoot us down, or at list it will make it harder."

"Don't get used to it, I am sure I wont have to say it again." She said sarcasticly, responding to the agent's joke. She looked up at Malvia, rolling her eyes at his question. "Of course I can create an algorithm. I bet even an agent from Silver could do that, so it can't be hard." She said before turning to her computer and opening a new program and beginning to type rapidly.

As she was working she looked up at Ceci's angry comment. "Well if you aren't doing anything, then shut up about what I am doing." She spat, obviously having trouble controlling her temper around the bossy Silver agent. "How is it possible that the largest cooperation has the most useless agent? I mean, shouldn't you have some sort of super expensive high tech program or something that can help us?" She muttered, not really expecting a response.

She turned back to her computer, typing in a few more lines of code before saying, "Done. Alright, I am sending the program to the radio, as soon as we can get a signal, I will know." She said, before looking up at the other agents.
Chenelle was silent as she finally looked up at the other agents. "Don't you think you're all overreacting a bit?"
Ceci shrugged at the question just asked, then asked Sam sarcastically, "Do you really think that you'll find a signal? We are obviously working against something bigger than ourselves, if all of the industries were brought together."
"Ladies, please.." sighed Malvia. "I need to think of what comes next, so argue in sign language or I throw you out without a parachute. And now I'm not over reacting : someone tried to blow us up, I think it's appropriate to not underestimate an ennemy we know nothing about. "
He started to juggle with the throwing needle as a continued :
"of course if you have any information on the Shadow State, we're listening.."
She looked at Chenelle, glaring at her. "Actually I think that we are under reacting. Let me remind you, someone just tried to blow us up and we can not get in contact with anyone who could help us. So yeah, I think that this is an appropriate reaction."

Turning to Ceci she said, "Yeah, I think I can find a signal. Just because you don't know how signals work doesn't mean the rest of us are that stupid." turning around she faced the other agents, "We really need to find out where this signal is coming from. Then we will be able to know where their base is and where we need to attack" she explained
Chenelle just shook her head. "No, no one is listening. Everyone is yelling and arguing. How is anyone supposed to think rationally with this distraction you pose."
"Sam, let me know when you find the signal. In the meantime, Ether, if you could follow Malvia's suggestion and fly lowly to our destination." Ceci said, acting bored
"SILENCE !!" shouted Malvia, exasperated.
"You two : *he turned to Sam and Ceci* I am trying to save your lives, so please keep your bickering for when we land, thank you very much ! And you , *he turned back at Chenelle* Either you tell us what you seem to know or you keep your mouth shut, because complaining about noise just makes more noise !"
*Malvia sighed longly, checking his glasses again before going on in a calmer tone*
"hm, I apologies for that .. But really, in such a situation I suggest that you do not talk if it doesn't help the group.. Because I may be a strategist but it doesn't mean that I will hesitate to crash this thing to the ground with you all in it if you keep such a childish behaviour going. Are we clear ?"
*short silence*
"Good, now if any of you have any usefull information to add, do it calmly so that Ether can drive correctly. Chenelle, do you have something to say to us that would explain how extraordirnarly well you're taking this ?"
Ceci opened her mouth, but then shut it, silent for once
Sam jumped when Malvia shouted, nearly dropping her computer off of her lap but managing to catch it at the last second. She opened her mouth in shock, but she did not say anything. She shut her mouth, looking at Malvia with newfound respect. Perhaps this clubber was more of a threat then she thought.
Chenelle just grinned and shook her head. "Well, now I don't feel like sharing with such an obnoxious person as you."
Ceci just looked at her, her eyes saying, 'Seriously?'
"Are you kidding me?" She said, looking at Chenelle with a look of disgust. "This is a matter of life and death. If you have information we need to know, tell us or else you are risking all of our lives"
Ceci nodded
Malvia calmly removed his glasses, to give himself a sudden facepalm with his right hand, the white glove accentuating the smacking sound. He sighed longly and sat back in his corner, putting his shades in his pocket only to pull out his flask a take a sip.
"uugh... Look, aside from the fact that I have to contain myself reaaaaally hard not to throw you out of the window, let me tell you something really quick. As of now, due to the information I got, I am nearly certain that one of you four is an agent of the shadow state. The fact that you decide to act like this only strenghten my doubts about you."
The nighter takes another shot and continue, his eyes still closed.
"Now, of course I could just kill all of you and recruit four agents that I can trust, but I really don't want to do that now because it would ruin the interior of the cabin and Ether would take the blame. Also these are new clothes and I don't want to dirty them either. SO, since I'm pretty sure you don't want to break the World record of "most bones broken in a failed sky dive landing" , I suggest that yo tell us everything we need to know, immediatly."
Malvia looked up at the window to stare at city below the group. He sighed again, waving his black leathered hand, the metal razor sharp clawsat the hand of each finger shining in the sunlight.
"Of course I can also look away while the other get the answers I need out of you : Ceci looks like she could use someone to let some stea off..."
"You can't be serious." she said, looking up at Malvia. "I don't trust any of them either, but you can not seriously think it is a good idea to try and kill one another for information. Look, no one here is trust worthy and of course one of us is a agent of the shadow state, that is no surprise. I expected that before we even came here but trying to kill one another is not the answer." She put her computer down and stood up, walking forward to confront Malvia.

"Plus, how do we know that we can trust you? For all we know YOU could be the agent from shadow state and you could be trying to turn us against each other." she said, jabbing her finger at Malvia and glaring at the agent.
"Of course you can't trust me yet, why do you think I'm trying to save your lives right now ? and for the record I -"
He was interrupted by Carl's panic and just sighed while grabbing the seat in order to not get throwned on the ground.
"ugh, of course..."
Malvia then slowly climbed in the cabin, forcing on his legs to compensate the acceleration. He grabbed his bag and some sort of military backpack that was hanged at the roof. He then got close to Sam, grunting in the effort.
"You want to know why you should trust me ?" He asked as he grabbed the young woman by the arm.
"Because I'm going to save your life !"
And as he said that, Malvia opened the door of the helicopter and jumped, pulling Sam with him in the air.
"Hold on to the slings !" he shouted at her as loud as he could so that she wouldn't let go out of panic.
He then activated the parachute, trying to guide it so that the would land on the street and not into a building.
As soon as she heard the gunshot, Sam grabbed her computer and shoved it into her bag which was hanging off of her shoulder. Carl's panicked voice drew her attention and she fought back a scream as she heard that Ether had died. She was absolutely terrified. She had been afraid just to fly in a helicopter but now she just wanted to scream.

When Malvia grabbed her arm she instinctively jerked away but was unable to break his tight grip. Before she could react the door to the helicopter opened and Malvia pulled her out and they fell towards the ground. She could not stop herself from screaming but she managed to calm down slightly and grab onto the slings like he had told her too. She shut her eyes and held on tightly, trying not to panic as they parachuted towards the ground.
"And so they leave us behind. Anyone know how to fly this? No, well, follow them, then."

Ceci suggested, pointing to the parachutes, then putting one on herself and jumping out of the open door.
