In 2047, a World Government pilot attempted to escort Twenty One, Jack Reed and their prisoner the head of SOFRAM from Canada to Washington in a jet. However, just a few miles into their journey, the jet was shot down by SOFRAM although all four occupants of the aircraft used parachutes to land safely on the ground. The pilot had sent out a mayday call giving their coordinates before the crash so, after a brief threat from patches of quicksand, a helicopter arrived to take them the rest of the way to Washington.
