Then, when Allison goes to visit Wil in his dorm at night, someone torches her guest room. When they catch up with the arsonist and pin him down, it's the same officer from earlier, who's been ordered to get rid of the evidence. They find a map on him that shows a location out where they were before, and head out on <em>another</em> motorcycle, at which point we head back to that secret base. (Not how the owner is Terror Steel.) After sneaking into the hangar and tricking the (sleeping) guard into letting them off or they'll tell "uncle" he wasn't doing his duty, they steal a plane and give chase. That brings us to where the episode starts. Now... for one, the river is in the middle of a buffer zone where no one lives (and since it's 1930s technology, radar isn't in wide use), which is a direct result of the Green Island conflict of 10 years before. (Walter's poison gas operation was another 20 years before that, during the "Great War".) The plane that attacks them is obviously contacted by the one they were pursuing, and their crash ruse would have actually worked were it not for abandoned power lines along a disused road. The deer incident is just a result of Allison's stupidity, but the reason she manages to find Radia's house is that Radia (a noblewoman formerly from the capital) is looking to get revenge on her father, husband, and two sons, who all died fighting against Roxche. She's on the "front lines," as it were, to get in a few shots in case the enemy is foolish enough to invade. Allison carries Wil into the apparently-empty house, and she pulls a gun on Radia when she first appears, while the woman speaks in the language of Sou Beil. Luckily, Wil comes to long enough to talk Allison down and say a few words to Radia in the language to get her to take them in. (This is the main reason why Allison doesn't kill Radia, or vice versa.) Then Allison loses her stage fright and starts speaking the language too (remember, they were raised by a woman from the West). Their connection to Muto and their desire to end the war is the main reason why Radia agrees to help them at all, and dress them in her dead sons' clothes. (The uniforms, by the way, are of the Youth Corps of the Palace Guard, which explains why Wil and Allison get to act like such jackasses to all the other soldiers.) But the plot omissions in this episode are nothing compared to the <em>next</em> one, which tosses out a cleverly-executed infiltration and escape for a more conventional firefight. *facepalm* The book actually explains most, if not all, the apparent plot holes brought up here… first of all, the reason they’ve given chase to the kidnappers at all is because they first went back after they wrecked the motorcycle, to have the policeman at the station tell them off.
