<Looks at Spruce Goose's boarding list>

<Sees that Martin built the plane but has scarpered into the forest, possibly with MuseS. 198505, LT, Zuki, a flight attendant, and Prinz (unconscious) are on the plane, possibly with others who snuck on unnoticed>

<Notes that Skidmarks boarded the plane but was also stirring ashes of treehouse so possibly did a Schwartzeneger as it took off>

<Hears a monotonous droning sound and wonders if it the Spruce Goose circling overhead or Martin talking to himself in the forest>
