While Lash was being the bestest girlfriend ever and totally not doing the opposite of what Samus asked, Samus finished packing the essentials and plotting out a course.
Her initial plan was of course to fly the gunship over; it was fast, it had weapons that could probably take out REX with minimal collateral damage, or worst-off, she use the grapple-beam on the ship to move it somewhere else. ...But with Lash involved she was rethinking this for several reasons.
One; it was Lash, two; Falcon would no doubt question her about it/disapprove Lash's involvement, and three; a quick peak at the weather proved rather foreboding for flying craft, even one as advanced as her ship. A monster of a storm swirled around the Archipelago with thick clouds and dangerously high winds. At the calmer center was predictably Shadow Moses Island... but everywhere around it was perilous. Stakes were a little high in this one, and the absolute last thing Samus needed was a crash landing with a passenger on board, leaving them stranded in the middle of cold, barren Alaska. So that left ground travel; Samus' bike, while fast, was at just as much at risk of weather calamities, if not moreso. She would need to go obscenely fast with it to break through the high-winds of the snow storm. Lash had her Neotank, but strong, independent Samus didn't particularly want to me left at the whim of Lash's control, much less she wasn't sure if that thing could make it to Alaska and back fast enough.
You know, before Falcon noticed. (Samus was the best girlfriend ever.)
Then what do I do? Tempted to risk fate and take the gunship as she typically would, Samus was then struck with the brilliant idea to go under the weather, if she couldn't go through it or over it. If it worked, anyway. She was reminded of the shortcut through the green, underground pipes her, Lash and Jeff used to infiltrate Capcom High. It was kind of a crap-shoot, but as quick as she could, Samus was researching into these mysterious, near-instantaneous traveling pipe networks. Lo and behold, they did seem to run everywhere, including Alaska. The downside was they weren't completely mapped out... so she might be doing some guesswork in her travels. She could always remotely call Falcon and cry in shame the gunship if something went wrong and hope for the best.
At least she wouldn't be alone in that.
In just as much of a hurry, Samus snuck out the door, hopped on her bike and drove to the school to meet Lash.
