A simple cargo plane would've sufficed. It doesn't matter beyond that - if we need to be in international waters, sparing the expense makes more sense to me.
'Course, that brings us back to what I was thinking earlier. But it doesn't matter that much to me. They can have their quirks as long as they cough up cash.

[TNO] touches the touchpad by his seat. It appears to be powered off.
Air LOF is written in fancy letters on the bottom of the touchpad.

A boat sounds safer than a machine miles above the sea. And if you ran out of fuel you would be stranded at worst.

But hey, don't worry about it. Right?

A boat is a lot more open to attack than a plane.

Scène de Naufrage.
I would not sail on the seas. There's enough in history to tell you what happens when such events go down on a ship. I may be tired, but I'm not that sick.

[TNO] tips their hat forward, puts their chair into the reclined position and closes their eyes.

[Cyantic] reclines their chair, kicks up their boots, closes their eyes, and hums to themselves.

[Arcthurus] takes a seat and listens to some music via headphones.

Yes, it is a depressingly posh airplane, tall, dark and handsome.

[Schultz] stands by the boarding door as another person boards.

What, do we have some sort of maritime law expert? I'm quite cozy with my eyes shut, so I'm afraid you'll have to fill me in.

Not sure. Are you a captain, Captain?

Come on. If we're all legal experts to some degree, do you really think the man's pulling double duty on the weekends as a captain of a ship? Nonsense.

Aye, I'm a captain. Though one of sea not of air.

Huh. Colour me surprised, I guess.
Your field maritime law, then? Or do you just dally as a captain while doing something else?

It's not like we're all legal experts anyway, it was a random selection for a jury, even if it's one of this caliber. Of course, I do happen to have some experience with law, in a way.

I significantly doubt that. Whatever this is, it seems that they want informed experience on this. You don't simply pluck... how many people are here, anyway? Whatever. This many people out without a reason.
It strikes me as logically that all of us are - to some degree - experts in law. Or at least enough to pass an informed verdict on the situation.
...
Or maybe I'm mistaken. But... that makes even less sense. Once is a coincidence, twice is a mistake... three is something else.
