Tracy Island.
(Alan's POV)
The Hood now had control over one of the worlds most deadly weapons and the world was now looking at us and the GDF for answers and a way for them to be safe, it took only minutes for cities around the world to fly into a panic, all international and domestic flights were cancelled and all monorail services were terminated at what ever station they were at. Cities all over the American East and West coast began to protest outside of GDF offices in an attempt to get them to do what the Hood wanted, Police forces were increased across all European nations and the Borders to Australia and New Zealand were closed to all types of transport, to put it simply the world was going crazy as well as coming to a stand still,
"Thunderbird 5 to Tracy Island come in" I hear over the communications link
"Tracy Island here" I answer while looking over other screens
"I need Brains" John states
"hang on, sorry I was just tracking a lot of things" I answer
"what things?" John asks
"the world is panicking and also coming to a stand still" I answer
"panicking? what do you mean stand still?" John questions
"people want the GDF to give the Hood what he wants, America is protesting, Europe is strengthening its police forces and south pacific nations have closed themselves off from the outside world" I explain
"damn it, it didn't take the world long did it" John remarks
"it never does I guess, but I'll go and get Brains" I say before standing up and heading for Brains's Lab.

The Hood looked on as Transom finished working on the launch computers, the words 'Missile Ready For Launch' displayed in red on the screen,
"we're ready sir" Transom states
"excellent, once Mullion confirms that the laser is ours, launch it" the Hood states
"yes sir" Transom says
"the missile will distract International Rescue and the GDF long enough for us to get away" the Hood explains
"you don't expect the GDF to give the exact location?" Transom asks
"International Rescue will convince them not to, and with my message being global both organizations will have a break down in communication trying to please the world, they simply won't have time for it and so Mullion will find it, we will launch the missile as a distraction and as we safely escape we will watch as International Rescue and the GDF race to stop the destruction of a highly populated city" the Hood explains
"but will we really let an entire city burn sir?" Transom asks
"it depends on how fast they stop the missile, my true plan will still work either way" the Hood states as the computer signals an incoming call
"Transom" Mullion states
"I take it you found it?" Transom asks
"it wasn't that hard, the GDF obviously don't care enough as we thought they did, they just put a force field around the place and forgot about it" Mullion states
"I doubt they forgot, Mullion make sure it is the real thing, then prepare to load it onto the Flyer" the Hood orders
"right a way" Mullion answers before the call ends
"Transom" the Hood states
"yes sir" Transom answers
"get ready to launch our escape plan" the Hood says with a smirk as he watches on as his plan comes together, with this stage successful the next stage could soon begin.

Tracy Island.
(Alan's POV)
After leaving to find Brains, I found him exiting his lab on his way up to the main villa. After telling him the situation he followed me back to Command and Control where John was waiting for us,
"John" I state to get his attention
"A..Alan T..Tells me that th..there is an emergency" Brains states
"yes, we need a bypass code and fast" John says
"w..what do we need it for?" Brains asks
"the Hood has control of a Nuclear Ammunitions Facility in Russia and there is a high possibility that he could use the weapons that are stored there" John explains "the Hood has used Tracy Enterprises code for his plan, I was hoping you could make something to override the Hoods override" John explains further
"I..I can do that John" Brains states
"how long do you think it will take?" John asks
"I..I'm not sure b..but I'll get right on it" Brains states
"get Alan to send it to Scott or Virgil once you have it Brains" John says
"I..I can do that" Brains states before leaving Command and Control
"Alan make sure the world doesn't fall apart any more than it has" John says
"F.A.B John" I state
"thank you, Thunderbird 5 out" John says closing the communication link, first New York, then Tokyo and now this, this just wasn't our week was it?

Cold War Nuclear Arms Facility Drainage Riverbank.
(Scott's POV)
I arrived at the danger zone and landed next to the drainage river, lowering myself out of Thunderbird 1s cockpit I could instantly see the monorail carriages that remained on the track as well as the destroyed bridge. I looked around further and saw what caused the facilities security breach and most possibly the destruction of the monorail bridge, there was what looked like the remains of an explosion in the side of the wall that surrounded the facility,
"Thunderbird 1 to Thunderbird 2, 5 and Tracy Island" I say over the communication link
"what is it Scott?" John asks
"this looks bad, Virgil you need to get here as soon as possible" I state
"define bad?" Gordon asks
"I'm not sure how air tight monorail trains are but it looks like there is more than one carriage at the bottom of this river" I explain
"damn" Virgil says
"what about the GDF?" Alan asks
"it doesn't look like they're here yet" I state
"I've got Brains working on a code to counter the override that the Hood is using, the only issue is we don't know how long the Hood will wait or if he will wait" John explains
"do you think it will be ready in time?" I ask
"I'm not sure, but to be safe Thunderbird 2 needs to be on stand by" John states
"you have a back up plan?" Gordon questions
"it's a work in progress and I'm not sure it will even work but we need to be ready because this is a deadly situation" John explains
"F.A.B" Virgil says " Scott I'm arriving now Thunderbird 2 out" Virgil states leaving the communication link
"I'm going to help Brains with the override code, Thunderbird 5 out" John says also leaving the link
"Scott, I just thought I'd tell you that the world is falling apart because of this, the Hoods message has caused nations to fall into drastic situations" Alan explains
"F.A.B Alan, keep monitoring the situation for me" I say
"also, people in America are trying to force the GDF to give the Hood what he wants" Alan states
"Lady Penelope is dealing with it don't worry" I state
"sure, I'll get back to it, Tracy Island out" Alan says ending the communication link, it looked like the Hood was getting his way and it was only a matter of time before he got Project: Crystal Cut but there was nothing we could do, all we could do is let the GDF handle it.
