"How are you doing, Nikki?"

"Fine!" Nikki flashed John a bright, white smile. "Never knew that going on rescue could actually be fun!"

John laughed. "Yeah, the jet packs can be fun, but we'd better be careful. Things get more crowded in the upper canopy."

Already they were getting into the tangle of branches and foliage that topped the highest trees. "Come around here," John said. "This is where I called in last time."

"F-A-B," she said as she followed him through to a clearer spot near a window.

"Hello in there!" he called, peering through the broken frame. "Can you hear me?"

Inside, Solada called to her fellow passengers, "He is here again! The Thunderbird man is here again!"

There was a chorus of voices from within following her cry, and John tried to calm the clamor enough to ask his questions. Finally, Nikki motioned to him and he let her up to the window. "Quiet in there!" she bellowed, startling both John and the passengers into silence. When it was quiet, she said, in a less belligerent tone, "Now, I need one spokesman for all of you. Someone with a voice that will carry because it gets pretty noisy out here." Indeed the birds, who had flown off at her bellow were quickly returning, and John kept eying a monkey that seemed to be getting entirely too interested in the whole proceedings.

The king's secretary, who sat nearest to the window in question, spoke up. "I am closest. I will be the spokesperson."

"Good. What's your name?"

"Pairat."

"All right, Pairat. I need to know how many of you are in there and if there are any fatalities." Nikki tapped her communicator so that her information would be relayed to Dianne.

On the ground, Dianne heard the last few words and shook her head. She motioned to Dom. "Get Callie inside, please, and help her up onto the scanner bed. I'm getting information from Nikki right now."

"F-A-B," Dom said. "Come on," he said as he guided Callie to the surgery. "Dianne will want to take a look at you and make sure you're all right."

Callie nodded wordlessly, and gave Virgil's hand a squeeze in thanks. Dianne gave him a look and motioned with her head for him to get back into the medical cabin. He rolled his eyes and limped back in. She followed him in and picked up a doctor's chart, then went out to the cockpit and sat in the pilot's chair, already transcribing what Nikki was relaying.

"There are twenty of us, all told," Pairat said. "Everyone in the passenger's section is alive, but I understand that the pilot and copilot are dead."

Nikki relayed the information, and nodded. "We're aware of the pilot and copilot. Now, starting with the king, I want to know the names and injuries of each person in the plane. They need to report every symptom; don't skip anything."

Pairat turned to relay her instructions to his fellow passengers. "Beginning with His Majesty..." he began.

Dianne got up quickly while Nikki was instructing the passengers, and headed back to the surgery, putting in the data as she walked. Virgil sighed as she passed by, but she wasn't listening. "Dom?" she asked, muting her microphone. "I need you to keep scribing in the data that Nikki is sending us about the passengers. Then I can take a look at Callie here and decide what to do."

Gordon poked his head into the med cabin and saw Virgil lying on the bio bed. "What's up, Virge?"

"I don't have all the details," Virgil replied. "but something happened to Callie... Dom said she was attacked--possibly by the Hood."

Gordon made a face. "Damn. Scott is not going to like this."

"Not going to like what?"
