[h2]Shazay Jordan, Athas[/h2]
"Aight, boys! Strap yer asses down, 'cuz it's time to go!"

With a terrifying roar, Dusty barreled out of the garage and down the street. In no time at all, they were out on the open sands, leaving the lush Thunderbolt City behind.

Once Dusty was a fair distance away from Thunderbolt City, Shazay pressed a small button on a tablet-shaped display mounted on the dashboard. A very rudimentary GUI depicting a green wireframe map of the surrounding several miles appeared on the screen. On the display, a number of small green blips appeared. On the far edge of the display was a [i]massive[/i] blip.

Shazay grinned wildly. He was surprised he had found [i]that[/i] so soon. Whooping and hollering, he wheeled Dusty around and took off in the direction of the green blip. Hopefully, his two passengers could hold on!

[h2]Hi-Hat and Xiangshi, Nox[/h2]
Hi-Hat smiled primly at Doctor Facilier's astonishing performance.

"Yes, as a matter of fact... you could consider us allies to the cause. While we aren't [i]officially[/i] affiliated with the UMMA, we definitely share their agenda. We're Shocker+, ma'am: home defense, real estate, and temporary occupations  across the multiverse!"

Xiangshi pressed a button on the small 'PRESENTATION' device. Instantly, a holographic display about the size of a flatscreen TV appeared above Xiangshi's hand. Setting it down on a nearby table, Xiangshi began the marvelous duty of assisting in the demonstration.

"Now, if you'll look [i]here[/i], you'll see the majesty of Thunderbolt City, one of our very first projects! Thunderbolt City boasts a population of three hundred, and I can say with all candor is the most vibrant place in the entirety of the desert surrounding it!"

As Hi-Hat spoke, Xiangshi dutifully flicked through a slideshow of happy but [i]very[/i] gruff-looking townsfolk and guards being tended to by mooks in ominous-looking armor. In the background, a man wielding a mysterious wand called rain down from the heavens. It seemed this presentation would go on for some time.

[h2]Sindibad Darude, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Radio Room[/h2]
Sindibad Darude absent-mindedly fiddled with the dials on the radio. He turned to look at the collective Jack Morgan and Julius Aldo with a grin.

"Alright, so we've got Hecuba, and we're about to get the Meat. All we need to do is grab this 'Pendant of Death' thing."

Jack, drinking from a plastic cup filled with what was apparently rum, grunted.
"How about [i]we[/i] do that? It's been way too long since we actually did a mission."

"Well, yeah, but it's [i]my[/i] job-" Sindibad said, shrugging, "I'd be paying [i]myself[/i] for doing it!"

Julius snorted, and glared at Sindibad. To think that he had not realized this 
"Yeah, but if you complete the job you don't have to pay [i]anyone[/i]. C'mon, it'll get you out for a change."

Sindibad's eyes widened, and he slapped his forehead in exasperation.
"Why didn't I think of that! Good lord!" He smiled weakly at Julius and Jack. "Alright, let's go hunt some treasure! Next stop: Antagarich!"
