"Good to have you on board Equinox." Ebony nods. "There's a V.I.P. with high value information that threatens the alliance between Equestria and Saddle Arabia. We need to locate this unicorn and return him here to the castle; there's a lead we can start with. Expect hostile individuals that are trying to catch him as well; if you can, arrest them on sight. Stay sharp, there's no way to distinguish who else may be after him. Lethal force is authorized." The captain reaches into his armor and pulls out a set of hoof cuffs; twirling them around he looks to Tinder, tossing the cuffs over to her, "Under the jurisdiction of the Lunar Guard, you are given the official authority to place a citizen's arrest. If you want to find out what happened to Foxtrot, that's fine, but I expect you to do your part. What's your name anyway?"

Ebony suddenly stops his pacing, "His contacts? Could he mean..." The captain goes to his desk and pulls out a red marker. "Knowing him there's only one contact he trusts enough for something like this." He reaches out and circles a single point on the map. Taking a few steps back he looks at the map then returns to his desk. "So we have a lead. There's little time to waste and it is of the essence." The noctral looks over to Tinder, "You're free to go. I gotta find him before things escalate out of control."

"I'm assuming it was the town of Calais. Take out a rogue General leading the insurrection." He reaches over and opens the folder, attached to the side of it are photos of the town after the flooding. The buildings are badly damaged, structures torn, if looked at carefully enough, bodies can be seen floating in the water. Ebony flips the folder around and slides it to Tinder for her to look. "Things didn't go as planned, he succeeded in killing the general but at the loss of the whole town. What he didn't know at the time was that Calais produced a third of the country's crops. The Saddle Arabian government placed the blame on his target, destroying whatever support was left for the resistance." The captain leans forward, his tone becoming more somber, "There are those who believe otherwise, and are still looking for Foxtrot to get information about that day."

Ebony sighs, "Damn it. I should've known it wasn't going to be that easy." He gets up from his seat and goes to a file cabinet, going through it for a moment before pulling out a folder. "Has he told you anything about his work? Past jobs, things of that nature?"

Ebony couldn't help but smirk at the snarky reply, his fangs becoming somewhat visible between that smile. "Thanks for the tip. I had a hunch Celestia's guards were slacking off around there. Normally I'd have my Lunar Guard on the grounds..." The captain plucks his daggers up and sheathed then in their covers, attaching them to his holster. "But we're being deployed for other uses. And with what we're doing we're going to need some outside help. The guards inform me that you were seen in the city with another unicorn. Green jacket, black guitar, machete, I'm sure you have an idea on who it is. Do you know where he is?"

As the sun rises in Canterlot, the rays of light reach the royal gardens and the sole gazebo. Things are quiet, followed by the sudden rumble of several footsteps going straight for the gazebo. Suddenly, the door slams open, several guards rushing in and apprehending Tinder, Foxtrot somehow is nowhere to be found. Barking orders and placing hoofcuffs on the mare, they begin to take her to the castle.

Ebony remains in close formation as Solar Flare conducted his maneuvers. Thankfully training as a Lunar Guard taught him to finely control the minute directions of his wings. The view of the empire wasn't bad either; parts of it sparkling under the cracks of sunlight. He keeps an eye on the scientist should he make any sudden maneuvers.

Ebony nods as Solar Flare explains the area, keeping note of the castle in particular. As the Pegasus takes off into the air, the captain follows, keeping a short distance behind him. "Don't worry! I get like that on a clear night sky and a full moon. I gotta ask though, why get excited over cloudy weather?"
