Many Happy Returns

After a few weeks of legal maneuvering, the US Justice Department is successful in getting extradition orders processed from Austria for Dr. Welton Marischal, from France for Gabrielle Arnault and Ginevieve Arnault, and from Spain for Idalis Parramore. Due to the Orion ruling, the criminals must be turned over to their home law-enforcement authorities before they are returned to FSS custody.

FSS Western Region Director Cynthia Brown contacts Shockwave and asks him to meet with her at the FSS headquarters on the Presidio. He agrees to the meeting.

At the meeting, Director Brown explains to Shockwave about the extradition agreements set up with the home countries of the captured members of the Myrmidon Cohort. She also tells Shockwave that she knows about his investigations into the "retirements" of the FSS Project: Avenger paranormals. Since he and mostly likely the rest of the Wardens know that the FSS is short on paranormal help, Director Brown requests Shockwave to ask the Wardens if they would be interested in helping the FSS with prisoner escort duties.

Shockwave meets with the Wardens and discusses the FSS' request for assistance. The group agrees to assist the FSS with prisoner escort for Adamis, Ariel, Luchs and Nightgaunt. Shockwave informs Director Brown that the Wardens will assist the FSS.

Shadow Tiger, Shockwave, Silver Star and Volt along with an FSS Agent Response Team are assigned to escort Ariel and Luchs to France. Blue Rose, Horatio Eon and Fuerte along with an FSS Agent Response Team are assigned to escort Nightgaunt to Spain. Gladiator and Centurion along with an FSS Agent Response Team are assigned to escort Adamis to Austria.

French authorities along with an Orion liaison meet the FSS transport with Shadow Tiger, Shockwave, Silver Star and Volt onboard at Paris' Aeroport d'Orly. The French legal liaison speaks with the FSS legal liaison, Agent Elizabeth Chang. He then speaks with Ariel and Luchs. The French legal liaison then signs some paperwork for Agent Chang and leaves the transport. The Orion liaison stays on the FSS transport and Agent Chang informs the others that he will be returning with them to San Francisco. The return trip to San Francisco is uneventful.

The FSS transport with Blue Rose, Horatio Eon and Fuerte onboard arrives at Aeropuerto de Madrid-Barajas and is met by an Orion liaison. At the request of the Orion liaison, Blue Rose, Horatio Eon and Fuerte escort Nightgaunt to a private lounge to meet with the Spanish authorities. After speaking with Nightgaunt, the Spanish legal liaison returns her to Blue Rose, Horatio Eon and Fuerte's custody. The three escort Nightgaunt and the Spanish legal liaison to the FSS transport. Once there, the Spanish liaison signs some paperwork then leaves. The Orion liaison boards the FSS transport and speaks with FSS Agent Dominique Anderson. She informs the others that the Orion agent will be returning with them to San Francisco. Aside from some rough weather, the return trip to San Francisco is uneventful.

Upon arrival at Flughafen Wien in Vienna, the FSS transport with Adamis onboard is surrounded by elements of the Austrian military. An Orion liaison boards the aircraft and asks to speak with the agent in charge. FSS Agent William Kurzt speaks with the Orion liaison and informs Gladiator and Centurion that the Austrian judiciary had granted a last minute appeal to rehear Dr. Welton Marischal's case. Agent Kurzt turns Adamis over to the Austrian authorities. The FSS transport leaves Austria headed for Washington, D.C.

The Austrian courts decide against deporting Marischal and bind him over for trial in Austria. The US Department of Justice files a legal protest with the Austrian authorities regarding the handling of the Marischal case.
