PICKETT
He stared at the plane as it began to rip apart in the air. He didn't realize it, but everyone else was pretty much doing the same thing. Danny wasn't sure if new comers to the island would be a good thing or a bad thing. He watched in amazement as the tail broke off. He couldn't believe it. He'd never seen any type of transportation come anywhere close to the island, and now a plane falls fro the sky.

GOODWIN
He stumbled out of his house looking around, trying to see what the problem was, why the ground shook. He looked up to see a plane falling rapidly through the sky. He watched as the tail ripped off, and fell in the opposite direction.
"Goodwin."
He looked over to see Ben, and jogged over to him, "Yeah?" he replied, knowing that Ben was going to give him some back breaking job.

"Yeah?"
He was all business now. This was important. He was already formulating a plan in his mind for the new visitors. "Did you see where the tail landed?"

GOODWIN
"Yeah, probably in the water," he replied in a professional tone. He may not have agreed with some of Ben's decisions, but he still had a great deal of respect for him.

"Yeah, probably in the water,"
"You run and you can make that shore line in an hour." he said, and turned to another soldier. Cyrus. His eyes flickered about for a moment, and seeing no one else he thought suitable for a potentially dangerous mission (Danny was too hot-headed, Tom was needed) he spoke again. "Cyrus, get up there to that fuselage. There may actually be survivors..."
He looked back down at both of them. "And you're one of them. A passenger -- in shock -- come up with an adequate story if they ask. Stay quiet if they don't. Listen, learn, don't get involved. I want lists in three days. Go."

Cyrus nodded at Ben's instructions. Well. This would be interesting.
He turned, and bolted past the houses to-wards the jungle.

Ben walked steadily over to Juliet, taking his time as he headed over to her. His eyes fixed on hers, and then drifted downward to the title of the book she was carrying. "So, I guess I'm out of the book club."

"So, I guess I'm out of the book club."
She met his gaze evenly. Yeah, that would be an understatement. Her tears, her heartfelt pleas had meant nothing to him. Had failed to move him even slightly. So she had nothing more to say to him. If there were survivors, he'd soon have someone else to torment with his mindgames.
She turned without a word and headed back to her house.

"Juliet. Juliet! I was looking for you this morning." he called, walking after her. "You and I need to talk."

Just with one ear Aaron overheard the conversation between Sofia and Juliet and was mildly confused about how Sofia couldn't even hold her grudge back in a moment like that. Well, it was obvious that the other woman in camp could only be Juliet's friends or they hated her. Which basically applied to women in general. Then after just a few seconds Paul broke up the pleasant conversation Juliet had with Sofia. And yet again Aaron remembered how Juliet was the lantern and how all the others where the moths. Glancing back at the sky he found the plane gone, only leaving white and gray trails of dust and steam in the air. It was silent again, at least from the sky. Ben had assigned Cyrus and Goodwyn to take a look at the crash sites. 'Blending in' as he said. What was that all about?! As Aaron saw Benjamin walking over at Juliet, saying something, her walking away with tears in her eyes and him following her he couldn't help him but to intervene ... for a moment. "Ben!" he yelled, jogging over at the middle aged guy. "What's going on? Why don't you send out Preston to help with the wounded?"

"What's going on? Why don't you send our Preston to help with the wounded?"
Ben sighed inwardly. Aaron just didn't get it. He didn't understand. He turned briefly to Aaron. "Preston doesn't have experience with blending in. He might slip up. Cyrus and Goodwin do have experience."

"Preston doesn't have experience with blending in. He might slip up. Cyrus and Goodwin do have experience."
What the hell was 'el duce' now talking about? Blending in?! Into what? A field of debris and body parts? That surely might have been a challenge. He couldn't hide his confused look at Ben. "Then send me! I had a first aid course with the Canadian Traffic Authority and I can blend in ... after all I blended in with you guys quite well ..." he retorted.

"Then send me! I had a first aid course with the Canadian Traffic Authority and I can blend in ... after all I blended in with you guys quite well ..."
"Is that an order?" snapped Ben, rounding on Aaron. "I just sent Cyrus and Goodwin. If I wanted to send you, I would've asked." He began growing impatient as Juliet moved further away. "Go talk with Tom, he'll give you something useful to do. And I can't talk right now."
Ben turned away from Aaron, walking quickly to catch up with Juliet. "Juliet. Juliet!"

"Juliet. Juliet!"
"We have nothing to talk about, Ben," she said dismissively over her shoulder, not diverting from the path back to her house.

"We have nothing to talk about, Ben,"
"Considering the circumstances, we have a lot to talk about. I believe a plane tearing apart in mid-air over our heads presents some very interesting topics of conversation." he said, catching up with her. "Besides, we have some time. It's important. Take a walk with me."

She stopped and sighed, tilting her head to regard him. Clearly, he was already formulating plans for whomever survived that plane crash, if anyone. Which would mean further demands upon her that she wasn't allowed to question. It was an inevitable discussion, so she might as well get it over with now.
Finally, she relented. Giving Aaron a departing smile, she followed his lead down the sidewalk.

Aaron stood there like all dressed up and with nowhere to go as he watched Ben and Juliet leave. Who the hell gave Ben the right to decide something that important. He didn't mind that Ben was ordering to have his favorite gay yellow color on every house. He didn't mind that everyone was being awestruck when he was seen around the village walking among them like a freakin' Jesus Christ. Aaron would have so much liked to put the walking over the sea theory to a test with concrete shoes as accessories for ol' Linus. Now he was on the other hand looking out for Tom but all he caught was a departing smile from Juliet ... which at least meant she was alright with Benjamin being all over her again like the most underhanded kind of goo. He slightly waved his hand trying to come up with a smile just as convincing as hers but he failed. He didn't know what to do ... Cyrus and Goodwyn had already vanished in the jungle ... but he was eager to help. Hell, it was his responsibility. In a normal world everyone would have been on their way to the crash sites right now without hesitating. But in this totalitarian town people rather liked to send two numbnuts for blending in and wonder about their perfect secret live being unveiled.

Paul felt a pang of... he wasn't quite sure what it was. Neglect? He was used to being ignored. It was to his advantage to be outside of the awareness of his fellows so that he could stand back and take an unbiased look at the bigger picture of everyone's interactions. Now, however, it worked to his disadvantage.
The squabbling had made for interesting, and sometimes amusing, observations. But, ultimately, the disputes between various members of the project were not harmless little things. They disrupted the Valetti equation. They added variables that did not belong. The truth was in the numbers. He had exhausted this particular source of data in The Village. The survivors allowed him to wipe the blackboard clean and start fresh with a new data set.
"Mr. Linus, when you're finished here, I have a proposition for you. At your leisure, of course." He interjected, not wishing to come between Juliet and Benjamin any more than he had to. He wished to get his point across. But he also did not wish to show disrespect to his colleagues.

FRIENDLY Tom came into the center square after Ben had walked off, panting and moaning. His body, which was once grand, was not made for running long distances that's for sure. His sides hurt and he was covered in sweat, but he had made it back. Ben was walking off with Juliet. He noticed their direction and smirked. He had an idea of what was coming.
He was now the senior member of the camp, since Ben was leaving. He glanced around, seeing Goodwin and Cyrus running off. He already knew what was going on, and he would have to run damage control.

"And you're one of them. A passenger -- in shock -- come up with an adequate story if they ask. Stay quiet if they don't. Listen, learn, don't get involved. I want lists in three days. Go."
He practically mimicked Cyrus and took off in the opposite direction towards the beach.
