What happened with the flight, where did you land?

It was a relief when we got into the air, but it took Frank a while to get our location as most of the navigation systems weren't working.  I can't tell you the exact name of where we first landed, other than in it was in the Pacific, and that the French can be very understanding.  Our story of engine trouble and repairing the problem on a deserted island military airfield was passable - the flight had only been missing for 14 days.  Frank stayed with the plane to deal with the authorities, and the rest of us moved on quickly.  We got to a nearby private airfield and jumped a smaller commuter plane.  We made it to Fiji, where the group laid low for a while.  I reached out to a few contacts, arranged some ID's and we boarded a cargo ship to the Philippines. Then a short flight to Hong Kong. We split up from there.
