WHO: Jack Bauer and OPEN
WHERE: The skies above the City.
WHEN: The following takes place between 11AM and 12PM, on Friday. Events occur in real time.
WARNINGS: Possible violence, if someone gives Jack an excuse to use those guns.
SUMMARY: The Bauercopter is complete and Jack takes it for a spin.
FORMAT: Paragraph/quick.

The helicopter had once been an ordinary Bell 412 model, but that was before Agatha had gotten through with it. Now, it was bigger and heavier thanks to the armor plating attached to it, but still moved nimbly through the sky as Jack took it on a slow circle above the City. If anything, it was faster and more maneuverable than before, in defiance of the added weight of gun pods, missile tubes, and a searchlight that was probably powerful enough to fry eggs. Within the cockpit, Jack was surrounded by high-tech avionics that placed a wide array of information and options at his fingertips. The golden trilobite symbol on its side proclaimed that this craft was the work of a Heterodyne, and the lettering below made it clear that it served the City police department.

Despite how clearly advanced it was, the helicopter's look had several strangely archaic hints to it. What Agatha had added to the 20th century frame looked like something out of the 19th, with bronze or copper-coloured edges, old-fashioned dials on the control panel, and shining cogs turning around the rotor assemblies. Jack didn't know what 'steampunk' or 'gaslight fantasy' were, but anyone looking at the helicopter who did would be able to identify it as such. Still, Jack was more than pleased with the machine so far. It was definitely a valuable asset- and we'll probably need the firepower, he thought.
