"The eggpire base is exactly 42 blocks east of the Logstedshire gym. The eggpire base is exactly 42 blocks east of the Logstedshire gym. The eggpire base is exactly 42 blocks east of the Logstedshire gym. The eggpire base is exactly 42 blocks east of the Logstedshire gym..."

It was a simple sentence that lived in his head rent-free playing on repeat. "The eggpire base is exactly 42 blocks east of the Logstedshire gym." Of fucking course it was. The one place he hadn't thought to check. And he thought he knew the town well at this point.

Tommy wasn't stupid. He didn't just possess the information and do nothing about it. He possessed the information and immediately shared it with Phil and Techno. 

Tommy didn't care that it was 1 am and they all had work in the morning. He possibly found Tubbo. He possibly found Ranboo. And all the other missing people.

Tommy bookmarked the book and burst out of his apartment, locking it behind him and running to the closest phone booth. He entered a coin in the machine and dialed Phil's number possibly at record speed.

"Cmon Phil... Pick up, old man..." Tommy mumbled to himself as he heard the phone ring. He heard a click a moment later and I tired Phil responding. "Yeah...? Who is this?"

"Tommy! Phil, listen. I found it. I think I found them!" Tommy said hurriedly, trying not to break out into a full-on sob. "What? WHAT? You what??" Phil asked excitedly. "How??"

Tommy broke and fell into a full-on sob. "I think I found them. Ranboo found the Eggpire's base and didn't tell anyone. He wrote it down in a secret memory journal. We found it!" Tommy heard Phil getting up. "Where are you?"

The Syndicate wasted no time meeting up, pinpointing the exact location of the base, and forming a plan. 

Tommy looked down at the armor they had specially made for him. His wings poked out of the sides. Considering he never used his wings and forgot how to fly with them, it was rather uncomfortable. 

Phil looked over at Tommy as he fixed his own mask. "You alright Tommy?" Tommy shot Phil a glare. "It's Thomas. Or in this case, since we're doing hero shit right now, Theseus. And no. This is very uncomfortable." Phil clicked his tongue. "C'mon... We had it specially made!" Tommy rolled his eyes.

"Maybe you should've been a better father and should've taught me how to fly rather than hating me for years." Phil's face fell as he froze, stunned. Phil looked away. "I'll teach you when we return. We should focus on the mission." 

"That's what I thought." Tommy hatefully thought. Tommy felt a hand on his shoulder. "Be nice, Theseus. You won't have to deal with him for long." Tommy sighed and turned to face Techno. "You're right."

Techno smiled at him. "Are you sure you want to go? You don't have to. We have it covered." Tommy shook his head. "They're my family. I owe them this." Techno's expression turned sad as if grieving. "It's your decision."

On the outside, the place seemed to be your typical abandoned old drug place. The building was once occupied by meth addicts and alcoholics. The place was abandoned after they died of an overdose. Ironic.
