The Eagle looks to the sky.
"I have come to a decision."
"ALPHA-SEVEN's mind control plan did not work. I had the strength to resist it and oust the invader. But... I cannot deny that the points they brought up were good ones, and the main reason I could not consider them is that the Owl themself was the biggest unknown in the equation."
"The mission comes first. And I cannot complete the mission if I do not have the respect of the fallen."
It tries to keep a steadfast posture, but it is clearly shaking a little as it talks, its voice wavering.
"Should I win this challenge, I will be sending myself to firemaking against the Kestrel."

The Eagle tilts its head.
"In some sense, I am glad of the challenge reset. It is good to know that I was not being an idiot with regard to the puzzle."
"In another... it is not. I am glad that I was looking to go to firemaking anyway, because anagrams are perhaps the challenge type I am worst at. It will be disappointing not to be able to showboat about it, but I can at least state that I did what I could, and perhaps in FTC the statement that I was going to give up immunity should I have won it will count for something."

The Eagle sighs.
"I... am glad, in a sense. To have the choice taken from me."
"I do not look forward to going up against the Kestrel at the end. But... after it all, they deserve to be there. And I am happy to not have the option to take that from them."

"I have no intention of asking them to take me. I want to end my game on a bang, and although it is not the bang I was hoping for, going up against the Cat in firemaking is at least something."
The Eagle ruffles its feathers.
"I will not allow that to be my final challenge performance. Firemaking is a necessity for my honor."

"Apparently, it will be against the Capybara. Because the Kestrel must be true to themselves in taking their friend to the end, although not so true to themselves that they take their best friend to the end, because one must balance it against optics."
It chuckles.
"I care not. I will give those viewing a show to remember, whether I win or lose."
"Bring it on."

Fire Eagle ruffles its feathers as it waits, smoke billowing from its wings. "THE LONGER I AM FORCED TO WAIT, THE LESS CONFIDENT I BECOME. EVEN FOR AN ANIMAL OF MY STATURE, THERE IS A CERTAIN NERVOUSNESS PRESENT. I CANNOT IMAGINE THE FEAR THE GUINEA PIG MUST BE FEELING." It looks left, then right, the fire still burning in its eyes.
"I HAVE MADE... PREPARATIONS, FOR THE EVENTUALITY OF MY DEMISE. IF I SHOULD FALL, THEN THE OTHERS MUST COMPLETE THE MISSION. I WILL ENSURE THAT I GIVE THEM THE GREATEST CHANCE AGAINST ALPHA-SEVEN THAT I CAN."

The Ferret scurries down the corridor, a concerned expression on its face. It knocks at the door at the end of the corridor."Enter." It bows its head as it enters."I bring grave news, M. We are an agent down." The Goldfinch looks up from its paperwork."Fish?" "Indeed. It would appear Agent Fish was mortally wounded in the latest round of ALPHA-SEVEN's Death Game." The Goldfinch gives a solemn nod."And the mission?" "Fish enlisted a number of civilians as agents while present. Three of them yet survive, and Fish was able to, ah, 'distract' the guards of the ALPHA-SEVEN compound such that they were able to sneak inside. I had surveillance set up in the area, as you requested, if you wish to view the footage?" The Goldfinch nods once more. The Ferret plays the tape.drive.google.com/file/d/1WyJA3fCVCdLuCRDIkLY8fkVmoBiPCjg_/view"I would have expected nothing less, from Fish. I suppose now we must put our faith in these... civilians. We cannot aid them in there." The Ferret crosses itself."May the Eagod protect them."
