* ConvenientEclipse ... or convenient storm that thwarts Eckert's middle-of-the-night escape by helicopter. Eckert had remained one step ahead of Walker and the Rangers before, but this time, a severe thunderstorm passing through the area where Eckert's escape pilot is stationed delays the takeoff. Knowing he's losing time trying to escape, Eckert pleads with his pilot to take off anyway but the pilot has been denied clearance. By the time the helicopter finally arrives, the Rangers have, too.
