We should go retrieve Foursights letter and place both things in our room, where they will be safe.

You grab Foursight's bag, along with Ace's suit, and leave the room.
...
As soon as you leave the room, the head of a spade slams into your head, fracturing the antlers of your mask. You topple backwards and sprawl on the ground, dropping the duffel bag and the magnifying glass.
A figure in grey with a red helmet is standing over you, brandishing the Autospade, which is currently circling menacingly. You leap to your feet, and in doing so glance for a split second at the shredded remains of a letter on the other side of the room.
"Don't think I forgot what I saw." They say, matter-of-factly, as you get your bearings. "I know a katana when I see one. Oh, and remember when you tried to torture me? I know that was you, too. You always draw out your 'E's a little more than the others. So, let's skip all that, and make a deal. I know who everyone is, and I can tell you. You know I'll be the most useful person here by a long shot."
What do you do?

Holy squirrel, dude, what the figgy pudding. OK, prove it. What's our role?

"Oh really? What role am I, then?"
"Betrayer."
"No... I mean, what was the role of the original Contestant 7?"
"Leader, unless you decided beforehand to swap with someone."
Aha! What do you do now?

"Sorry, nice try. That's not it, anyway, what do you want?"
"HEY! YOU CLAIMED LEADER TO ME!" They exclaim, before realising they've said too much. "I'm... I'm the Messenger. If you must betray me, go ahead. But I suggest you leave me alive...
"You need to betray two more people to win, right? ...Probably shouldn't have hit you over the head, huh? ...Okay, I'll tell you two people's roles of your choice, on the condition that you betray both of them, leaving me alive, and then I'll tell you the rest, for you to do with what you will, m'kay? Also... I'll tell you what Foursight's letter said, and help you with all the puzzles..."
They turn the Autospade off, and hold it at their side. You wonder what this person (presumably Ace) will do if they realise you really aren't the Betrayer. They probably won't want you telling the others.
You pretend to be thinking about it, and look at the fallen items on the floor. A broken antler, Ace's suit, Foursight's duffel bag... wait, what's that sticking out of it? Is that a hilt?
What do you do?

It's a katana.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Okay, I'm done being ridiculous. Why does Ace want people "taken care of" if he's the messenger? His role doesn't require anyone to die for him to escape.

"Why do you want people 'taken care of' so badly? If you ware Messenger, your role wouldn't require it..."
"I am indeed the Messenger." says the Messenger's voice.
"But... it's not that simple. None of us here are innocent, even if we're not here to shorten jail time or anything...
"If I could have us all escape from this place alive and well, I would. But we don't know what game we're playing, do we? Most people here would probably kill to save themselves, and don't tell me you haven't noticed people starting to get into splinter factions? It's much easier to manage and control a small group than a larger one, especially because it lowers the risk of someone leaving the party early."
"And you think if people start dying it'll decrease the chances of them panicking and killing you? Even though you've made no attempt to be likeable?"
"I'm fairly certain I could take most people individually in a fight... so, are you actually going to betray someone or not?"
What do you say or do?

Not yet. Not until this business with the divided rooms is over with.

"Not untill all this... shared room business is over, I think..."
"Ah, but this isn't the only set of shared rooms, now is it? But whatever, I've got stuff to do. Tell me when you need a role. Toodles!"
The figure climbs the ladder holding the Autospade between their arm and their chest.
You're now alone in the room with Foursight's duffel bag (with the hilt still sticking out of it), Ace's original suit, the antler, Foursight's magnifying glass, and the shredded remains of Foursight's letter.
What do you do?

Pi's back! I... Wait, why did I wait for you to be back to post this, it's not like it would disappear... Well, whatever.
Go back to the puzzle room and see if there are any identifying markers on the planes.

You go back into the puzzle room, taking all the usable stuff with you, including Foursight's duffel bag, just so Ace doesn't take it when you leave it behind.
Decider's there when you finally get back to the room. There's a pile of about eight luggage containers he's carting around on a metal cart, including yours.
He makes a face at you as you come into the room. "Have you been slacking off? We've got a job to do, here."
You explain yourself as best as you can, and as you do so, he takes Foursight's bag which you had briefly put down, and rifles through it to find the steel plate before you can offer any sort of objection. "Hey! What are you—?"
"4 - Atlanta... Interesting." he notes. "Oh... and what's this?"
He grabs an object and pulls it out of the bag. It's a hilt. More specifically, it looks like the hilt of your sword, but straighter, and with no blade. "I believe this belongs to you...?"
He tosses it to you, and you catch it automatically. You stutter for a while, and then get your mind back on task. There are twelve planes outside, apparently, all 'Chromatic Airways', and all apparently the same model of plane, though he's not sure what it is. He's still missing May's bag, Allure's bag, and Mu's bag.
What now? Come to think of it, Decider does have quite a bit of explaining to do, if you're interested, or you could focus on the task at hand, or even take a third option.

Nameplates... Heathrow's UK, so it could be birth city, where they were before the game, or maybe even something completely different... Eh. Not that that helps much. Other than implying 4 could be a southerner and therefore worth trusting implicitly,
Ask if he checked the bathrooms while Ace was kicking our ass.
Check if it's possible to crawl through to the other side of the baggage conveyer.

"Have you checked the bathrooms yet? Y'know, during the time Ace was kicking my radish?"
"Your... oh, right. I've checked some bathrooms, but not these. They're bigger than you'd expect. You check the girls', and I'll check the boys'."
Not waiting for a reply, he hurries into the male bathrooms, and as he does, a piece of paper slips out of his bundle.
You hear the sound of thorough door-slamming inside, so you probably wouldn't be disturbed...
You're curious (and scared) about what would happen if you pressed the button on the hilt of your sword, it'd be interesting to read Decider's file, and you're supposed to be searching the boys' bathroom, though you never agreed to that...
What do you do?

Not seeing your sheathe anywhere, you carry your hilt with you. You go over to the men's and walk in.
"Hey! You're supposed to be searching the girls'!"
"I-I just—"
"Are you button? WE DON'T HAVE LONG! YOU WANNA DIE? YOU WANT TO HAVE TO KILL PEOPLE TO KEEP—look, I'm sorry... I'm sorry. Just... did you need something?"
What do you do?

Just wanted to check on you, you're acting pretty strange. What's this about a time limit?
