The escapees each picked up one of the canisters and started running. It wasn't very long before they each
realized how this would be challenging. They weren't in Epitropolis. They were in Flotham. Will figured it out
first, having stumbled on a statue dedicated to Flying Mammal Man. Next was Cal who found a car with Flotham
plates. Logan found out when he saw Poison Oak and Felinewoman running out of the bank. Rebeca was next,
finding herself in front of the Flotham city hall. It took Gabe three hours of running around to realize he
was in the wrong city. So, each of the challengers set off to find better modes of transportation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"One ticket to Epitropolis please." Logan said.
He had mugged some random NPC for their clothes and backpack so he could safely ride the Flotham train. All he
had to do now was get on and wait for it to arrive. According to the train schedule, that would be in thirty
four hours. Enough time to get to Epitropolis, deliver the canister, and finish the mission, all without
alerting the heroes. If things went as well as he hoped, he would be getting that prize in no time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cal was not having much luck. He wasn't sure what went wrong though. He had the canister. He found a car he
could steal to get to Epitropolis. He switched the car's license plate with one from a wreck so no one would
be able to track him based on it. He was even out of the city and on his way. He wasn't even speeding. Nowhere
did he see how a full squad of police cars ended up chasing him. Was it because he was in an MMO? Were they
able to tell he was against them? There had to be some... was that a gunshot? Looking in the rear-view mirror,
Cal was able to see that yes, that was a gunshot. The police had started shooting. He had to drive faster than
ever, or risk being gunned down. Cal wasn't about to let Logan, Will, and Rebeca beat him again. Not after
they completely owned him in the last challenge. He had to just keep going, and hope the game didn't factor in
how much gas he was burning.

Sewers in video-games are huge. They're like separate cities below normal ones. Rebeca was using this to her
full advantage. If she was able to get onto the beach, then hightail it to the next city, she would be able to
get a ride to Epitropolis without the heroes suspecting a thing. All she had to do now was keep going. She was
sure she was almost out by the beach now. Then again, that pile of mattresses looked awfully familiar.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logan was making this too easy. All Gabe had to do was mimic him, and they'd both win. Logan didn't even have
to know. Of course, Gabe had to be careful. He didn't know what Logan would do if he knew Gabe was following
him. After all, they were against each other now. So, as Gabe slid into a seat on the Flotham-Epitropolis
train, he made sure to keep his head low. With a little luck, he would be able to just follow Logan the whole
way and finish the mission without having to do much of anything.

The Sprite really needed to step up his game. These challenges were a breeze if you thought even a little bit.
All Will had to do to get the Radonite to Joseph Johnson was mail it. He had seen enough Burn Notice to know
how to disguise a package, and had stolen enough money and supplies to achieve that. Now all he had to do was
walk up to a mailbox, put the package in, and wait a few days. This mission would be even easier than the last
one.
