Onboard Thunderbird 2, Cassie passed data pads around to Brains, Will and Tin-Tin. Each pad contained the same data, which was the location of the incendiary devices that the group was going to be setting.

"I've downloaded the coordinates for all the points where the devices should be set. As you can see the pattern Brains and I settled on is a square. There will be a incendiary device at each corner of the square with one device set in the middle," Cassie told them as everyone looked at the information the data padds contained. "Brains and I will take the ones to the south. We plan on setting the southwest device together and then splitting up to set the southeast one and the device located in the middle. That leaves the two devices on the north perimeter of the square for the two of you to set," she said, looking first at Tin-Tin and then Will.

"Should we each take one or set them together?" Will asked.

"It's up to the two of you," Cassie replied. "The northwest device is the closest to our landing position though, so if you each take a point, whoever has that one is going to get done before any of the rest of us."

"Which will give me company while I wait," Virgil interjected from the pilot's seat.

"Worried about getting lonely?" Tin-Tin asked, smiling at his remark.

"Nah, I got some reading material with me. I've still got to catch up on the information from Cassie's training session she did on Friday."

"Good," Tin-Tin, replied before looking over at Will. "I'd prefer if we stick together to set the devices."

"That's fine," he replied. "Having company on a trek through the jungle will be nice."

"We'll keep in touch via the communicator," Brains reminded them all. "When a device is set, radio it in so we all know what progress is being made. Virgil will be monitoring the radio communications from Thunderbird 2 too."

"We'll be landing in a few minutes," Virgil called back to his passengers.

The talk came to an end as Thunderbird 2 landed on Neverland. Once on the ground, the group started to get gear together so they could begin their task.

Will watched as Tin-Tin set the incendiary device that would form the northeast corner of the square. As it was the farther of their two points, they had chosen to head there first and get the second point on their way back to Thunderbird 2.

The stand-by light on the device started to flash.

"One down," Tin-Tin said, as she stood up.

Will nodded and activated his communicator. "Mechanic to Jade. The northeast device is set and ready."

"Copy that Mechanic. Einstein is setting the southwest device now and then we'll split to set the other two."

"Okay. Sweet and I are heading for the second point now. Mechanic out."

Tin-Tin and Will headed to where they had stopped their hoverbikes.

"Do you want to set the next one?" Tin-Tin asked as she climbed onto the hoverbike. She looked over at her companion as he climbed onto the second bike.

"Sure. There is no reason why you should have all the fun," Will said lightly.

"Fun? This isn't exactly my idea of fun," Tin-Tin commented, as Will started his hoverbike.

"We should get going or they'll be wondering where we got to," Will suggested, not commenting on Tin-Tin last statement.

With a nod, Tin-Tin started her second bike and the two of them headed to the second point.

An hour-and-a-half later, Cassie, Will, and Tin-Tin were already back at Thunderbird Two. Tin-Tin was onboard the green craft with Virgil. Will and Cassie had found a large rock to sit on and were chatting. Brains had yet to get back from setting his second device but was expected soon.

When Brains finally returned, he smiled. "Well, we've gotten all the charges set to go. If they go off as planned we'll get to see the results of your training classes, Cassie."

"I sure hope so," she said. "Fires tend to be unpredictable, but at least we can all be on the same page."

"You're right there," remarked the scientist. "Well, let me just grab my gear from Thunderbird 2 and the rest of you can head back to Tracy Island," he said as Will and Cassie fell in step with him.

Brains was going to remain on Neverland to keep an eye on things. Should any of the devices go off prematurely, they needed someone here to alert them and relay the information back to Tracy Island.

"We all set then?" Virgil asked, looking back from the pilot's seat as his three teammates came into the cockpit.
"Yes. We should be good to go for this afternoon," Cassie responded, taking a seat.

Brains grabbed his gear and exited the craft as the others got settled and strapped in. When Brains was a safe distance away and his passengers were settled, Virgil started Thunderbird 2. Moments later, the green craft was in the air and heading back toward Tracy Island.
