"Ugh.... where are Stanley's people are taking the ship now? Got any ideas, Matsukaze?" Ginrou asked worriedly as they have no clue where they are heading except it's on South America.

"I do not, though it shames me to say so." Matsukaze replied, "I surmise Senku's band has already evaded our captors."

Meanwhile on the control room, Maya is the only one enjoying this entire ordeal.

"So, y'think the Junior Science Brigade is kicking back and relaxing now?"

"I'm not sure. Those kids're sharp."

"They are highschoolers." [Name] corrected him, "Though they aren't mature enough ti understand that there are certain consequences for their actions."

"Exactly." Stanley retorted back, "They're still considered as kids."

"It's not a problem either way." Leonard stated, putting an end to the pair's bickering, a depressing aura surrounds him as his eyes fixed on the screen in front of him, "Their bike trails.... indicate that they escaped down the Amazon river. No mistaking it. The youngsters will have to construct a new ship. That will incur a considerable delay, so even taking the long way around, we're bound to catch up."

"Hang on. They'll have a new boat?" Charlotte asked, "How will we even recognize it?"

Maya saw [Name]'s troubled expression and wondered what seemed to be the problem.

"I was thinking...."

"You're finally using your brain? Never thought the day would finally come." Stanley commented, voice dripping with sarcasm as the h/c nette sent a glare at his direction.

"Alright, you two...." Maya quickly interjected, effectively stopping them and focused their attention solely on her, "No bloodbath today, we have a schedule for that. More importantly, [Name], what were you saying?"

Almost immediately, the h/c haired woman's anger dissipated and she began telling them all the possible scenario that awaits them on the Southern lands.

"If I remember correctly... we have the most advance technology in our era so why we haven't found out about this device?"

"Cause the Amazon is the last place where people decides to take a hike?" Charlotte guessed, confused on what the woman had said, "No. I mean- Mount Everest is just a mountain filled with corpses that got preserved by cold temperatures. A perfect graveyard to be sure."

"Forgot that those are the people who were once highly motivated in life. Another reason why we should tone it down a bit? How stupid of them to die in such a pathetic way." The blonde haired man said, not really having any sort of pity to those who died, "Wait-we're getting off topic here."

"Right...." Maya gave him a nasty side eye, letting out a few chuckles here and there but not a full out laughter, "What [Name] meant is that those things doesn't show up in radar."

They all turned to Leonard, waiting for words of confirmation and got none. Actually, if he knew, the radar-man would have already told them everything he had found out.
