While Dom and Scott headed towards the nose of the plane, John and Gordon made their way towards the tail section. Once there, both of them stopped and looked up.

"This is going to be a challenge," John said.

"Yep," replied Gordon, letting out deep sigh.

John looked down at the equipment they'd brought with them. "Okay, let's get going. You grab a chainsaw and cable and I'll get the laser cutters.

"F-A-B." Gordon reached down and picking up the cable, slung it over his shoulder. As he bent down to retrieve the chainsaw, he couldn't help the wicked thought that crossed his mind. Suddenly he stood up waving the machine around for a second or two and maniacally making sounds of terror. "Look out Texas! Here I come!" He looked at John who just stood there and rolled his eyes. "You remember that movie, don't you?"

"Yes, I remember the movie. Now c'mon, we've got work to do!" John answered impatiently, not amused by Gordon's antics.

Switching on the jet packs they rose up into the trees. John managed to park himself on the left side of the tail and Gordon secured himself on the right. Surveying the trees around them, they located the branches that had the best flexibility and hopefully would hold the tail in place.

"Quasar to Maverick, preparing to start on tail section."

"F-A-B," came Scott's reply.

After some more fidgeting about, Gordon announced he was ready with the chainsaw.

"Okay, Cousteau try to get those branches down first and then I'll try to get the bigger ones with the laser cutter; it'll be quicker," John said as he pointed to the branches above.

"Okay! Here we go!" replied the redhead. He pulled on the starter on the chainsaw and it roared to life. The branches came down easily enough and Gordon descended to put down the chainsaw. As he rose back up to the tail, John had just finished using the laser cutter and was going down to the ground with it. A few moments later they were both pulling branches and maneuvering cable around them.

"See if you can get that branch as far around the tail rudder as you can, Quasar; I'll pull it tight from here."

"F-A-B." John pushed the branch as far as he could around the rudder. Gordon stretched out his right arm, while steadying himself with his left, caught the branch and, with a hefty pull, managed to pull back towards him then got busy with the cable. John and he worked together like this for a while until they were sure the tail would hold. Both were breathing heavily by the time they were done.

"That should do it," Gordon said, removing his helmet and wiping his arm across his forehead. "Yeah, I reckon she'll hold long enough."

Gordon nodded, as he called Scott. "Cousteau to Maverick."

"Go ahead, Cousteau; how's it going?"

"Tail's as secure as we can get it. We're heading back now."

"F-A-B. Good job guys."
