(Original Log Date: October 26, 2019)

[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: (( This RP story involves elements of historical fiction. We will be visiting the era of the Second World War, and will be encountering Nazis as the primary antagonists. Let me be ABSOLUTELY clear about this: We are in absolutely no way advocating for, promoting, or humanizing any part of Nazi ideology, or its adherents. To the contrary, this story is about the utter moral bankruptcy, and total lack of ethical character that defined Nazism, and its adherents. Thank you. ))

[Fleet] June 6, 1944 • U.S.S. Midway • Transiting Sol system, approaching Earth • Yellow Alert
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: -- "Captain's Log: Supplemental. The Midway is approaching Earth, but not the Earth of our time, or of any time that we know of.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: Readings from both our vessel and USS Boston indicate some form of drastic change has occurred prior to the year 1944.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: A change perhaps brought on by a probe launched from Boston into the wormhole.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: With a delegation from our future companion vessel on board, we're preparing to investigate what happened and, perhaps, how to repair the damage..." --
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: --|| U.S.S. Midway glides around the dark side of the moon, its course directed towards 1944 Earth ||--
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride] "Passing the far side of Luna. Feels deserted out here, like going through a neighborhood wiped out by a fire."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: *Squeaks nervously, looking at the viewscreen, then tugging on Tirik's sleeve* No... No spacedock! Look!
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: keeps turning over Demarcus' combadge in one hand before walking over to the science station.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "I'm picking up /a lot/ of chitchat in a smorgasbord of languages, sir."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "I imagine this would be a historian's dream... if this was the history any of them remembered."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *looks, brows furrowing*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "And if we could make sense of this splatter. I can only make sense of the English chats. Everything else is cryptic."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "If memory serves, that's the communications console."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "We should be getting navigational signals from Tycho City, Artemis Station, Luna Base..."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Hmmm... let me have a look at those transmissions."
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: [Cherlene]: *Swivels, leaning over her console* Universal translator must be malfunctioning, sir! They're talking about sea lions!
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Sea lions?"
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *Whispers to Carmen, "What's a sea lion?"*
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Eeeee! *Squeaks audibly across the bridge, deflating in her boots slightly*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "That is... if you'd allow me?" he gestures with a slight bow and a smile.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: *Tugs Tirik's sleeve, whispering to him* They're like little cutee ocean animals!
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride leans over to Xaq, stagewhispering]: "...the squeaky one's been in space before, right?"
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: glances at the Xindi cautiously. "Be my guest."
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Furrowing her brow* I'm still trying to place that accent of hers...
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *smiles slightly, pondering*
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "This is Lieutenant... Phoebe, our arcaeology and anthropology officer."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Not sure what to do, just sort of leans against the wall and waits for us to get into position*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Looks from Gregory to Phoebe. "A pleasure to meet you, madam. I am Enphel Agrin, Communications Officer."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "...I'm having that old person feeling again..."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Looks over to Tyler* Hey Ty, whaddya think kinds sciency fun does this ship have?
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: gestures to T'Lor's panel. "Then deciphering communiques must be your jam. It's out of my league."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: stagewhispers to T'Lor, "There's a McGann aboard the Boston. I think my counterpart was trying to warn me about... complications."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks to H'Rilla* What do you mean "sciency fun"?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He chuckles, "So I like to think. Let's have a look at these transmissions, shall we?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He steps to the console, marveling at the multicolored switches and shaped buttons for a moment, then sets to work.
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: You and I are both men of science, yeah? These guys were all into that sorta stuff back in the day, if I recall.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "That's a funny-looking uniform you got."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: I suppose, but all our instruments are better. And our discoveries are further along.
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *glances idly at Phoebe, then double-takes slightly, wondering if she and Boston's resident intel officer are, indeed, related*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He looks her over and laughs again. "I might say the same for yourself, but you truly wear it well, Miss McGann."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: True, true, but anything /we/ know, /they/ might not, or maybe had just discovered, I'd love to get their take on some of their ideas.
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Stage-deadpans, calling back to Phoebe and Enphel* Careful, she's on the prowl for princes only.
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: It ain't just about KNOWLEDGE, my man! It's what can ya DO with that knowledge!
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: [T'Lor] "Ehm... Captain? Detecting a massive invasion force crossing the...English Channel. Amphibious force."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: Hence why I'm here and not at a desk somewhere back home!
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "The Normandy invasion?"
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: raises her eyebrow. "Thanks. They designed these uniforms for professionalism and comfort."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "That would...seem to be accurate."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Let's see..." he flips a few switches, and it goes between English, German, Japanese, and Russian transmissions, and others. "Hmm.. This is a bit difficult to hear over. Is there a better speaker?"
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she steps forward slowly, gently brushing by Carmen*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Something better than this intercom?"
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Smirks* They teach you platitudes back on your home planet?
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "...wait, the invasion force is leaving France, not heading towards it."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: points to T'Lor's console. "That's the Science panel. It's got a decent gain amplifier."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Eeee! *Squeaks, looking over to Phoebe, then looks down at her own uniform as Elise brushes past* Comfort...?
Phoebe McGann@oyani points dramatically forward.
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: Leaving..? *she says somewhat quietly*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Clack, clack goes the switches.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "What's this?" He picks up an earpiece from the console.
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *I chuckle* Don't tell me you've never gotten your ear talked off about such things, either, when you were growing up!
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "For sticking into your ear."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: [T'Lor] "Then...this invasion is the wrong way around?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Ah! An earbud. How quaint!"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He puts it in his ear.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "It's top of the line, thank you!"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Everything makes noise. How distracting."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Ahhh... Standard transmissions, but there's something encoded here..."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He listens for a time, "Of course, I recognize this..."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "The probe, T'Lor. The Axis powers reverse engineered it and it allowed them to expand out from Europe, develop nuclear weapons to use against the Soviet Untion..."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "What is it?"
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Not really. My community wasn't big on that sort of thing.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Enigma, a German code which fits with this time period. I studied it during my time at the Academy."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: ¡Aieee! *Squeaks, looking at the viewscreen, then over to Captain Thorpe, overhearing his comment about the war*
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: Bit of a quiet community?
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "What does it say?!"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He presses various buttons and flips more switches. "One moment, and I will have it isolated, and the computer programmed, with the proper cipher."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He listens for a longer moment.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Cherlene could help you."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Encoded plans... The messages have great brevity, but seem to reference... Operation Sea Lion."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Shakes my head, sighing and nearly laughing* What, just because we don't speak in platitudes means that we don't talk all that much?
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: [Cherlene]: MeeeeEEEeee?! *Spinning in her chair as she cackle-asks*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: [T'Lor] "So... the probe changed the course of history in favor of the... bad guys?"
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "It would seem that way."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "I could use more help going over the remaining transmissions; there are quite a number going on, from both sides."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: turns to Cherlene. "Yeah. Didn't you call your ex a sea lion?"
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Shrugs* Well, not like I'd know, I suppose, given how familial and friendly we all are back home.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "I think I read a book like that once. 'The Man In The White Castle.'"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: [T'Lor] "How are we supposed to remedy this without going back in time, to a point before the probe arrived?"
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: [Cherlene]: A walrus!
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: [T'Lor] "I've got a general location within five kilometres, in central Paris."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: Plus, that's not a no.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Perhaps someone could assist by looking up Operation Sea Lion. I admit my history of this era is somewhat limited to the communications side."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Eeeep! *Squeaks, tugging Elise's sleeve* France?
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she peers over her shoulder toward Carmen, silent and turning pale*
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Where? Government lab? Museum?"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "All these big old buttons but you don't use control sticks to fly?"
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: We did speak a lot, if that's what you're asking.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: glances at the Xindi. "We bonded over useless exes. I guess I could look up this operation sea lion in our databanks."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: [T'Lor] "I said five kilometres, Captain."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "That's a lot of ground to cover while working undercover."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Decides it's my turn to smirk* Aren't you being clever, talking in oddly worded sentences!
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Raises a brow, "So I see. It's good you found common ground."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *shoots Elise a worried look*
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "...the center of your scans indicate something underground. Some form of transit?"
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: taps the panel. "Of course, she doesn't have /my/ luck..."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Would you consider yourself more or less fortunate?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Adjusts the gain again with a warbley button press.
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: You sound like a friend I had at the academy: nice kid, TERRIBLE liar, always had to slightly modify what he'd say to sound vague, whenever he didn't wanna say something outright.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Considering we're trapped in olden days, I'd say we're both unlucky."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Hopefully there's something down there, maybe the probe itself, that can tell us what happened."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *whispers, "Normandy in reverse?"*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "I'm not getting anything about sea lions in the databanks just yet."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "Maybe it has something to do with submarines."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Do you mean to say you've entirely run out of candidates on this ship?" He asks in surprise.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "There's one from this war sitting in the tech museum in Chicago."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: blinks. "...You're not wrong. About both. Sea lion refers to an unrealised plan to invade England."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "As for candidates on the ship, do you date your coworkers?"
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: H'Rilla, you should sign up for intelligence with that kind of paranoia! *Shakes my head again while smirking* I'm not trying to be vague, I'm just not sure what you're asking.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Eeeee! *Squeaking again* England?! France is invading England?!
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "What's a France?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Curious..."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: What's a...
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Eeeep! *Squeaks again, looking to Elise*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks to Siri, then laughs*
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: This is not funny! Are you not listening to them!
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "I'd say you have little choice in the matter on a ship like this, unless you don't mind a long-distance relationship."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "We'll prepare multiple teams to beam to the surface."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: looks at the squeaker. "No, the Germans. But according to our data, the Germans never carried it out."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Shrugs*I guess I- *turns around to the rest of the crowd, immedately taking notice of Elise's and Carmen's expressions* What's wrong?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Personally I find distance makes communication... harder."
Siriinya@slinkiisu shrugs.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "That's what my ex-husband used to say."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Elise, we'll figure it out. We'll just go back, pick up the probe, then be out with none the wiser.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Pero, os alemáns... Eee! *Squeaks, looking over to their ersatz-Captain*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "I am sorry to hear that..."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He listens for a second more.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "... And sorry to hear this."
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Rolling her eyes, stage-whispering to Mack* Oh, lord, she's Galega...
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: Ohh you /know/ it is not that simple...
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Whatever this Operation Sea Lion is, it's certainly being carried out for real this time."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "That old arcade game?"
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Smirking to him* Think of it like... The old country's old country.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "You look human, but the structure of your hair would indicate a cone-shaped head."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: stares up at Phoebe.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "We have a lot of ground to cover, some of it may be underground."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "So far, they're seeing progress."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Think on the bright side, Elise. You'll finally be able to show me France like you promised! *Pauses for a moment* Never mind, I take that back. Probably don't want my first time seeing France to be under Nazi occupation...
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "So, in this timeline, the Germans intend to launch an invasion against England. Their plans might succeed this time."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she crosses her arms* Will you take this seriously, perhaps?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Some of the looser transmissions by their officers sound confident."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "What?"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Are you a conehead?"
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: *Raising a hand nervously* Uhm... we're all going downs?
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Who let the kid on board?"
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "That's to be expected. The Germans of this era aren't unlike the Romulans of mine."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: Elise, if you don't want to do this, you don't have to.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Oh, there is a child here. I had thought nothing of it."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "...your captain said she was your ship's counselor."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: She needs to. In case our universal translators break, she's probably our best translator.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Oh. I heard this era was the Federation's first actual meeting with the Romulans."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "...We don't have daycare onboard to put her in."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *nods at Tyler* Not to mention, we could lose her, if the invaders kill the wrong person.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Ah!" he laughs. "I had hardly recognized you in that outfit."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "I'm incognito."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: I'm sorry, Elise, you're right. I'm still just processing all of this; I shouldn't be so insensitive.
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *nods his head towards Elise as he says, "...her..."*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "You pull it off well; you even had myself fooled."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: I'd rather we not lose anyone!
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "There does appear to be a couple of you that wouldn't blend in well in 20th-Century France, occupation or no occupation."
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *joins the conversation* And we won't.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "That was the intention. So, ah. Since there's already an invasion happening, how are we going to... fix the timeline?"
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "There does appear to be a couple of you that wouldn't blend in well in 20th-Century France, occupation or no occupation."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "For an counselor, you're not very diplomatic."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: Do you need a moment?
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: Yes. I think so.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "I didn't realise I'd said something undiplomatic."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: I can authorize one.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: *Squeaking, raising her hand again* I'm Galician, not French, uhm... Captain...
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "We Xindi-Primates are not too far from humans. A few prosthetics and a nice outfit and I should blend in if you need a language expert."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: If the United States is in the war in this timeline, I probably have relatives fighting in the war. We all have a stake in this. *Looking to Tirik*
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: If you need to, go ahead.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "You called me a conehead!"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: peers up at Enphel. "Mm...I think I could make you look human."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Your doctor poses a bigger issue. In fact, I only ever recall seeing one other Caitian on board in the past two years."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Your hair looks conical. I thought that was your skull structure."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He nods. "Very well, I will leave myself in your capable hands."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "This is a fashionable style!"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Oh."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks to the captain* I don't think he'll be coming down with us.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "How do you get it to stand up like that?"
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *I nod* I'm not planning on it, as much as I'd feel more comfortable making sure everyone's alright on the ground.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [Lok]: "Bridge to Captain."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *nods*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: deadpans, "Dilithium."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: thwacks a button. [#*]: "Thorpe here."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "...Huh. I'm not sure that's healthy for hair."
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: [Cherlene]: *Spinning around* She's got a kilogram and a half of wiring under that hornet's nest!
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Looks back to Phoebe. "I think your hair looks absolutely wonderful, Miss McGann."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [Lok]: "I've focused in on the coordinates you've been scanning up on the bridge. Only place you can set down without being seen are in some old transportation tunnels."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Why thank you. You're very kind."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *I step up* Hey, Captain?
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [#*] "Then that's our transport site. Thorpe out."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Does anyone else need their cosmetics done?"
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Yes, Doctor?"
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Cosm... Oh! *Giggling, looking to Tirik* You made Tiri look so cute!
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *smiles slightly* I-- huh?
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: If you would allow a few of our crew, and perhaps a few of yours if they need it, to take a moment to make sure they're all ready to go, y'know, with what delicate happenings are going on during this time.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Should we use different names?I'm not sure if I should use Tyler, might flag me as a foreigner and that might not be good...
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "He looked cute before."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Should we pick French names? Or German ones?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He smiles and nods to Phoebe. "Alas, duty calls. I hope we get the chance to meet again." He follows the counselor then.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Not sure...
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: *Wraps her arms around Tirik, nuzzling him slightly* He's /still/ cute, I mean!
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Elise is fine. Carmen probably is as well.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Same!"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: looks up at Enphel. "Alright, let's get your makeup done for your big show."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Oh, uhm... *Squeaks, looking to Tyler* Oh, right... names...
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: It'll help greatly with a few of our officers, at least.
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *smiles, giving Carmen a single-armed hug*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Antoine is the only French period name I can think of. I suppose it will do."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He turns and follows. "Coming!"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Are there some quarters we can borrow?"
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Guest quarters are on deck five."
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *begins pondering on a possible name for himself*
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Nods* Thanks, boss.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Uh..."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: pokes the little dangly things in the lift.
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Turns back and walks up* You're clear if you need a little time to think, if you guys need it.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He looks it over himself awkwardly, then looks back at Siriinya. "How does this work?"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "I have nooo idea."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Deck five?"
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: turns the combadge in his hand again.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: But what about a name for Tirie? *Squeaks, turning towards Elise*
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Nods* correct, just ehad down to that deck.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: What's your brother's name, Elise?
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Not sure which name I should pick...
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: stands on tiptoe and tries speaking right into the grill thing. "Deck. Five. Fiiiiiiive."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Pokes it, grabs the handle, tries to pull, fails, but incidentally twists it and the light comes on. "Ah! That did something."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "...how the hell are they supposed to blend in the 20th Century when they stick out like sore thumbs in the 23rd?"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Oh. Now try?"
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she glances at the others assembled in awkward silence for a moment* ... huh? Oh. I have two... Axel and Ruben.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Deck five."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "At least we're not related to anyone of them. What an awkward conversation that would be."
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: We managed to blend pretty well when we had to play carjackers for an afternoon... *Shrugging over to Mack*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: [T'Lor] "Try 'Jacques' or 'Pierre'."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Which one's the one that married the Andorian?
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: Axel... you are not going to use this, are you?
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Would I be believable as a "Gaston?" Or maybe an "Yvon?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Hmm..." he looks around. "Do we need to flip all six?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Perhaps it's some form of interlock."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Ah, there we are."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Great. These must be guest quarters. It'll do."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *after a second, I just go over to take a seat, and swing it around to look at the crowd*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: If you don't want us to, we won't.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Sit, so I can reach."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: No, perhaps you should. I am in need of the humour.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: All right. You pick, Tirik! Axel or Ruben?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Of course," he nods and takes a seat, leaning back.
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: Hm... "Axel" sounds like it might be easier.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: sets her backpack down, rummaging through it to pull out a series of rather strange looking instruments. "Let's see..." she mumbles, adjusting a few of them, occasionally looking over at Enphel.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Then I guess that makes me Ruben.
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she half-smiles at both of them* You two... thank you.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: You're welcome. Now I just need a name for Siri, who's apparently my daughter...
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He looks over these instruments, growing a bit uncomfortable as he examines the various and sundry apparati.
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *winks at Elise*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "I don't think you'll want to lose your Xindi features permanently, so I'll fill out the area around them. You'll have a slightly pronounced brow and cheekbones."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "I get the strong feeling that Captain Demarcus prepares well for... contingencies like this."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Why do you say that, sir?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "That... would be preferable, yes!"
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "...he keeps a binder full of currency from various locations and eras in his ready room, for starters."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "I wonder how many times they've time travelled."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: I think she'll be Anna. I had a French-Canadian friend in secondary school named that, so it'll probably work.
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: Such odd names those French Canadiens have...
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Anna is a completely normal name.
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Reminds me of a girl I met once... but that is not important right now.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: nods. "All right, eyes closed," she requests, before carefully beginning the cosmetic alteration. "This will probably prickle a lot, and your skin's going to feel pretty tight."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Smiles at the talk of names, takes out a small PADD, and begins tapping on it*
[24thRP] Demarcus@gabydee#1262: *As if on cue, the combadge in Thorpe's hand chirps*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks to Elise and Carmen* Shall we get dressed?
[24thRP] Demarcus@gabydee#1262: =/\= Boston to Midway, what is your status?
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: jumps, startled.
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: Probably, this is a good idea.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: =/\= "...Midway here, Captain..."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Eeee! *Perks up a bit excitedly, but for an entirely different reason* Dressed? Like... *Scrunching her brow, trying to ponder a quick outfit in her head* Okee!
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Where are our costumes? *Looks to Tirik*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Eheh..." his eyes are shut, and he simply waits his impending doom.
[24thRP] Demarcus@gabydee#1262: =/\= Our propulsion is still down, but we've got sensors back. You reading the same thing we've got over here? About the war?
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *looks over at Tyler, then behind him. He picks up the team's clothing, which he stashed when they exited the lift*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Just... be gentle, the cheeks are sensitive."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: =/\= "It would seem that the tide of the war is completely the opposite of what it should be."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Huh... well, then let's go find a changing room.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Gets into the turbolift*
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: There should be enough for everyone here.
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Looks up, and hops over*
[24thRP] Demarcus@gabydee#1262: =/\= Indeed... *Clicks off a screen in his ready room, revealing he had been studying the Pacific theatre* I think it's best we determine exactly what sort of temporal contamination has taken place.
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: Can't wait to see you all changed!
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Well guess you'll be sitting this one out doctor.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "You're telling me. The ridge on my forehead is one of the most sensitive parts of my body!" She scrunches her nose, continuing her work. "Let's see, we'll need some matching hair as well..."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: I wish I were with you, despite the circumstances.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Uhm... okee... *Wiggles into the turbolift, tugging Tirik's arm nervously* What are these things?
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Maybe next time...
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: *Looking at the handles*
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: =/\= "I think we have a working theory: that somehow your probe gave the Axis a technological leap that enabled them to launch this attack against the United Kingdom."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *hops the lift, following everyone that way, so as to hand out clothes*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Perhaps... a wig?" he offers as if to avoid anything trickier.
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: Good hunting, all.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Thank you, doctor.
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Thank you.
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Smiles*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "That'll do."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Now... how do you work this thing?
[24thRP] Demarcus@gabydee#1262: =/\= Then I'd say our first priority is to locate what's left of the probe, and neutralize it before it causes any more damage to the timeline.
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *she sighs and grabs one of the handles* "Like this." *She twists it*
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Uhm... *Tries pulling the handle in a 90 degree motion* I dunno...
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "What am I to wear?"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: rummages through her bag some more, pulling out a few wigs, picking one and placing it over his head. With a careful tug, the entire thing shrinks down to cling to his head, covering it as naturally as possible.
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *smiles*
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: =/\= "I don't think limiting the damage going forward will undo the catastrophic changes we're already seeing, Captain."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "I think they brought some costumes for us."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Goes back to my seat, before settling in and watching what action there is on the bridge*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Ah," he looks about for a mirror.
[24thRP] Demarcus@gabydee#1262: =/\= I agree, Captain. But that is our baseline priority until we can ascertain a means to reverse the changes.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Huh... so much more complicated. Set it to go to...the crew deck, I guess.
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: Actually, we should probably ask if there's a place to change, before we head down.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Well then, shall I get dressed?" he stands.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: pulls out a mirror. "All right, what do you think?"
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Can't we just use the bathroom?
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: A place to... oh! *Squeaking* Easy for you to say, you're already changed!
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: =/\= "Recommend we start planning a way out of this era in the mean time."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Oh! Well..." he looks himself in the mirror, leaning down, "I do look pretty... human. How strange it is to see me like this..."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "If we could put something in place to prevent the probe from ever reaching the earth in the first place, couldn't that reverse the dumpster fire?"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "It's all easily reversible, but won't come undone without work, so you're safe to do whatever."
[24thRP] Demarcus@gabydee#1262: =/\= *Chuckling into his combadge as he responds* My Engineers are still locked out of Main Engineering at the moment, so I've tasked them with studying that very task, Captain.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Dance, exercise, get in a fight...actually, don't get punched in the head, it might cause some oddness."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Then again, getting punched in the head is *generally* not recommended."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He smiles, "Excellent, thank you, ma'am. Now... I don't suppose you have something will fit me?"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "I think the others are heading down to change, as well."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *nods at Carmen* Yeah,... it seemed like I might as well. *feels one of his altered ears*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "They've got outfits. You'll have to look through them."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He nods. "All right then."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "I should have paid attention to my temporal mechanics lectures at the Academy."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: =/\= "Understood. We'll focus on ascertaining where this point of divergence started and how to stop it."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: This whole situation is just wicked complicated...
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Grabs the handle and twists it* Uh... crew deck?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "It's intriguing to be this far in the past. A part of me wishes I could undo some of the mistakes of my people, but knowing not the repurcussions it would have..."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "My people are vehemently against tinkering with time."
[24thRP] Demarcus@gabydee#1262: =/\= Good plan, Captain. Re-connect in twenty four hours?
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: =/\= "Agreed, Captain."
[24thRP] Demarcus@gabydee#1262: =/\= Good luck, Captain. Boston out.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: looks down at the combadge again before pocketing it.... somewhere.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Eeeee! *Squeaks and jumps slightly as the turbolift lurches into motion*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "If I had a communicator that size, I'd lose it in my hair."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Uhm... *Steps out of the turbolift, a bit bewildered* Anyone know where to go?
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Just in time! Mister Enphel needs an outfit."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "I understand the concern. It's my hope we can restore what we know to have happened."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: This'll work.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: waits for everyone from the future to be gone before adding, "We're dealing with a lot of complex variables here."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *quickly peeks into Engineering as he walks past, a smile creeping onto his face*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Ladies go first.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He walks down the corridor now looking very much human (if I had made a halfway outfit!).
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "We not only have to find a way to restore our mutual past, but also protect their past as well."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: Oh, how... um... lovely...
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "The past that is our future."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: Take your pick. *hands out clothes*
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Is currently tapping on my PADD*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "I will do what I can, though that mostly amounts to being able to speak French and German."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Uhmmmmm... *Rummages through the satches Tirik holds out* Maybe, uhm... red?
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she reaches for one of the outfit bundles* What have we to see...
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Helm, go for standard orbit. Hopefully the astronomers of this era are too busy keeping track of the news to notice us."
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: I'll try not to think about causality paradoxes, Captain...
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Turning back to her station* Aye, sir... entering standard, well... okay, not-too-standard parking orbit.
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *takes a look as well and catches some interesting clothes*
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: Maybe. *smiles slightly*
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: --|| https://i.imgur.com/7LL4dY7.png ||--
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: *Takes a few items, playing with them as she moves into the room*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Takes his outfit quickly*
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: OH! *Taps my combadge* =/\= H'Rilla to Elise.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Looks eagerly for an outfit for him, leaning to and fro to look around people.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Liarro, come on over, get your outfit.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: sees H'Rilla do that and looks to his badge again.
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: =/\= Yes, Doctor?
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: =/\= If it helps, just remember... ya owe me... or did I owe you?
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Looks at her panel, then half-swivels back to the Captain* Engineering reports we only have enough power to stay in orbit for thirty minutes, Captain. Shall I take the ship to the far side of Luna, after you beam down?
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: grips the badge by the top and bottom of the Starfleet delta with his thumb and index finger. "... I'm reminded of something that I just can't quite place..."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "... er, yes Lieutenant."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: =/\= It is a good thing you are not a psychologist. Or... are you?
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Puzzled expression spreading on her face as she turns back* Aye... sir.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Time to go see if that suit we used a few months ago still fits."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: twists a handle. "Deck Five."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: =/\= *I chuckle* Well I think I'll just let you muse over that question, after this, if you want to sit down and talk, i'll be happy to tell ya what I'm good at.
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Turns back, watching the Captain depart, then looks over to Phoebe* Not going hunting for a French prince?
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "Careful. He might guillotine you if he doesn't like you."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: Oui... *she pats her badge and shakes her head* House calls.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Didn't the French guillotine their royalty?"
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Oh, snap."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Uhm... is this okee?
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: I'll never understand that doctor...
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "...Tasi's a copy-cat."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "France should sue him."
[24thRP] H'Rilla@xela5289: *Smiles, then takes out my PADD again, and continues typing along*
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Chuckling as she turns back forward* Well, I've got to keep my Cubana butt up here for the Captain, but you shouldn't miss out on the fun!
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *looks over at Captain Thorpe* Looking like a million credits, sir.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "I don't think I need to mess up the timeline any more than we already have. But this is a good archaeological opportunity."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "My crew and I have a little experience infiltrating pre-warp cultures."
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "I suppose I should go get dressed."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: Go ahead! *she steps aside*
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Yeah I'll go do the same, time to try these on.
[24thRP] Xaquelina@GabyBee: *Smirks, shaking her head as she chuckles, leaning over to Mack* She'll always find a way...
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Elise is still musing.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: [McBride]: "Maybe she's teling the truth and she's giving up on royalty."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Raises a brow at Phoebe and nods appreciably.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Pre-war... Oh... *Squeaks nervously* Okee...
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *she walks into the room and the sound of unzipping and clothes falling on the floor can be heard.*
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she does grin at Carmen's outfit*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: approaches the group. "Apparently my conehead isn't appropriate for the 1940s."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Even if any of you have a doctorate in the history of this time period, there may be changes so drastic that no one can anticipate them."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: I... Eeee! *Squeaks, brushing her hair behind her ears nervously* Is my hair okee?!
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Nonetheless, you show masterful craftmanship with your hair."
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *she grunts a couple of times, and walks out, wearing a simple red plaid dress with blue contacts on*
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *takes a good look at Phoebe and lets out an expression that would most likely translate to: "A pity, really..."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *glances at Phoebe* Cone... head? I'm almost afraid to ask.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: pats him on the shoulder. "Lieutenant, too kind."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she slips into the room after Liarro is finished*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He smiles and chuckles.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "The lieutenant here is quite adaptable to changing circumstances."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "I wonder if I should bring my grandfather's shotgun."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *... and emerges after more than her share of time to change*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks to Elise* Wow... nice choice of clothes.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Small, concealable weaponry only. Security in Paris is likely going to be tight, both because of the occupation and of the invasion of the UK."
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Madame...
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she looks to Tharin and grins* That is good!
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: All right, Tharin, Enphel, let's get changed.
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Picked up a few words...
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Yessum. Lieutenant Agrin, are you coming?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He nods and bows gracefully as Elise enters. "I would say you have all picked well, though in truth I don't know the decor of this era."
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "These damn contacts are a little itchy..."
Hastur@jundlandbanshee reads from their PADD.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Ahhh," looks himself in the mirror, "Now I look the part."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Exits once he's finished*
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Looking good, Tyler...
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Walks out and presents himself with a twirl and a flourish, before stepping out of the door.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Not bad yourself, Tharin.
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: My...
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: gasps! "Don't you look handsome!"
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Did have to shave my hair...
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Is that everyone?"
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: *Arms wrapping around Tirik, planting a kiss on his cheek* I think Tirie's the cutest!
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *smiles as he looks around and sees a rather well-dressed bunch*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: You look good, regardless. Now... where's Siri so we can get going?
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "I just hope my French accent is passable."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He smiles. "Ahh, bias," he says in a longing tone.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Let's get going, everyone! *Waves for everyone to follow*
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: I, uhm... *Squeaks, turning towards Tyler as he moves off, looking between him and the other Captain* Okee?
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Yes, monsieur Tyler.
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Lets get mo... yeah, that..."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Oui, oui."
Hastur@jundlandbanshee ponders the situation.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: *Wobbles slightly, not used to heels*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Glances to Siri* Your name's Anna, by the way.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: Eeeef! *Trips and stumbles up onto the pad*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Can this old transporter handle more than six?"
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: stagewhispers to Pheebs, "... I feel like we're teachers leading a field trip."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *catches Carmen as she stumbles, and pulls her steady*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "I chose the wrong career."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "How many A&A officers get to do both at the same time?"
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "The same number it takes to screw in a lightbulb."
[24thRP] Hastur@jundlandbanshee: "Regardless of the transporters capabilities, it would be in advisable to transport a large group into a situation where discretion is required."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: smirks. "The lighting on the bridge has been acting up lately. Maybe I ought to get you to look into it."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Knowing my luck, sir, I'd end up transporting us into the 25th century, instead."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Been there, done that, bought a tropical shirt, Phoebe."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: (( Okay, before we beam down, I'd like everyone's attention for just a moment. ))
[24thRP] Hastur@jundlandbanshee: "Regardless, coordinates are set for Paris, Earth. Circa June 6, 1944. Subterranean transit tunnel."
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *She looks over to Phoebe, seeming confused, then looks forward* "Huh..."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Oh, yeah... and didn't I run into someone who looked the darndest like Mac?"
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Energize."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@gabycee#6848: ¡Aieeeeeee! *Loudly squeaking as she is enveloped in a bright flash of yellow glow*
[24thRP] Hastur@jundlandbanshee: "Transport initiating. Energizing."
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *As soon as they beam in, she grabs her head* "Agh... damn it... city..."
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "I can think of worse underground portions of Paris to beam into."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Once they're beamed in* Wow... this is... wow, we're really here...
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: --|| The group beams into a dark, dank masonry sided tunnel, stench wafting through the cavernous bend of the subway track --||
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Who knows? Maybe, if we get the chance, we can see what Notre Dame looked like before the fire."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Eeee! *Stumbles into a puddle of liquid as she stumbles along the railroad ties in the tunnel*
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "Damn...voices." *She stands up and sighs* "I'll be all right, just... a lot of people."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Incredible," he comments. "Ah, Paris," he says with a French accent.
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *steadies Carmen* Easy...
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Where do we even begin our search?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Take special care to observe the natives. Their actions, their body language, the way they walk... We must communicate to the occupation forces that we belong here."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: If you think this is impressive, wait until you see the /city/.
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "Anyone have a flashlight?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "They will be suspicious of spies, and the resistance."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: --|| Down the tunnel's length, the faint sound of screeching metal echoes along the brickwork ||--
[24thRP] Gregory Thorpe@Norcaler: "Assuming they didn't crush them."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Crush?!
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Let's get up above, get some sunlight.
[Fleet] Hastur@jundlandbanshee: Hastur always carries a flashlight... despite being the only member of the crew not to need it.
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: That would never happen! *she says sharply*
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *She looks on the ground, looking if there's a rail system*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "If my guess is correct we need to find a place to get off the track."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Immediately."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: What's wrong, Siri?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "We will see, though historically guerilla insurgencies are not so easy to stamp out, even with a technological advantage."
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "TRAIN!"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "What?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Oh. Oh!"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He gets to running, following the others.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: dives to the side.
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *She picks up Siri and holds her like a child, and runs to the side of the track*
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *jumps to the side as well*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Gets to the side of the track*
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: ¡¿Trén?! *Jumps to her feet, diving with the others onto the opposite track*
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *follows, pulling Carmen into the nearest alcove*
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: ¡¡¡Aieeeeeee!!! *Yelping loudly as an old-style Paris metro train rumbles past them, lights flickering as it shudders along the track*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: eeps as she's yanked to the side, flailing a little.
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *she ducks into the alcove with the others* "We couldn't have picked a spot to beam down that wasn't in the path of a damn train?"
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: sails into Agrin. "Oofff!"
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *She puts Siri down* "Sorry, Counselor... you may want to get used to being held like that, though; parents often hold their children like that."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: I can't believe we've actually traveled through time...that's a real, 20th-century train!
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: --|| https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Metro_de_Paris_-_Ligne_8_-_Rame_vers_Charenton_-_Ecoles.jpg ||--
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He crashes against a wall as Phoebe runs into him, and his hands go up to catch her. "Eheh, fancy meeting you here, Miss McGann."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He smiles, then looks at the others, "Is everyone all right?"
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "McGann? Huh..."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: grins then winces. "And you too, sir. Ooff."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: *Smooths her dress as she stands, looking at the far wall, pointing to a red light suspended above a heavy metallic door* What's... what's that?
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: brushes herself off, looking only mildly disgruntled. "It's only a little embarassing to be handled like that."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Mademoiselle," he rights her. "I suppose the transporter chief must have tried to get us somewhere out of sight of immediate life signs."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *looks and shrugs*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: I think that might be an exit. *Answering Carmen*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: smiles. "Oui, monsieur. Je suis desolée."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Exit?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He chuckles and replies, "Desolee."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: I don't know, maybe I just /want/ it to be an exit.
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "Well, let's find a way to the surface."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uhm... *Nervously turns, hearing faint metallic echoes down the opposite end of the tunnel*
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: You could be right.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Carmen, try the door!
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Me... uhm... *Remembering their locale* Moi?
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: If you want, someone needs to try it. We need to get out of here somehow.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Okee, uhm... *Stumbles across the tracks, heels wobbling as she gingerly steps over towards the door, turning its handle, but it barely budges*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Preferably sooner or later. Those trains aren't going to stop."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Eeee! It's stuck!
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Moves to follow.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Follows as well*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He checks for any writing and otherwise investigates the door.
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *She follows them to the other side* "Hang on."
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "Let me see the door..."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: --|| Across the door is written in block letters "Entretien" ||--
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Steps aside* Go right ahead.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: quickly jumps over the tracks with an eek.
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *follows, minding the tracks*
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *she looks at the door handle* "Let's see...tyler, kick the door right next to the knob.'
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Entretien... Entretien... Ah, maintenance."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Does as told, lifting my leg and kicking where indicated*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "I trust someone brought a phaser?"
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: --|| The door swings open, as metallic echos grow louder ||--
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Ah, never mind."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Everyone, in!
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Rushes through the door*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Huddles in with the crowd.
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *follows suit*
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *heads in*
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *she goes inside*
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: ¡Aieeeeee! *Tumbles through the door as Tirik tugs her along*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: follows the gang. "Wait for me!"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: squeezes through.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He stops a moment to make sure Phoebe gets in safely, holding the door as it were.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: With a quick head count, he closes the door back behind them.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: will remember that.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks around at their surroundings*
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *She pulls out what looks like a mauser pistol* "If we need to, I replica- uhh, got a hold of a pistol from this time."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: --|| The group tumbles through the door, and up a narrow maintenance stairwell, narrowly curving around on itself, ascending to street level, where they finally burst out into a narrow Parisian alley ||--
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *she puts the pistol back in the pocket on her skirt*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Ahh." He takes a deep breath. "Much better."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He pats his jacket to dust himself off.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks through the alley* Finally, sunlight...
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: *Rubbing her eyes, tugging at her skirt as she stands, a crisp, cool breeze blows down the alleyway. 47 F / 8 C *
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Hmm... Is it normally this cool in Paris during the summer?"
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uhm... *Looks to Elise*
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she does not respond, only glancing to the exit of the alley*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Is it cool? I hadn't noticed.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "I can't say I recall it being this cold in Paris in June."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "It is quite cool."
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *takes notice of Elise staring at something and quickly takes interest in what that might be*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "I know climate change has been a struggle for Earth up until weather control, but still..."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: cuddles herself.
[24thRP] NPC-M@gabydee#1262: *Down the alley, their conversation is interrupted by a loud shout* HALT!!!
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Oh, dear."
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *She looks to the man coming down the alley* "Oh, merde."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Whips around to the shout*
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Eeee! *Squeaks, turning fearfully*
Carmen Duarte@GabyBee scans the environment alertly.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: squeezes back into the doorway, hoping she's gone unnoticed.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "German. Act casual," he says quietly and curtly.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "The accent is unmistakable."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "By acting casual, do you mean: run for the hills?"
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: I prefer her thinking over yours.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uhmmmm... *Looks to Phoebe nervously, nodding hesitantly along*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "The call is yours, but we need it now."
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Anyone has a phaser to stun him?
[24thRP] NPC-M@gabydee#1262: Stillgestanden! *A pair of trudging, heavily kitted, German Feldgendarmerie soldiers trudge slowly down the alleyway* Halt!
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "I have a pistol."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Type One."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "There's no way we're going to be able to all outrun him, but we could subdue him."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: No, let's stay. See what he needs.
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Does anyone speak German, by the way?
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Good idea. If he gives us any trouble, we'll dong him over the head with the phas... Monsieur?"
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: We have universal translators. *Steps forward*
[24thRP] NPC-M@gabydee#1262: *Finally trudges up to the group, one of the soldiers stepping forward, speaking in an officious tone, heavy German accent* This area is restricted! No civilian access!
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she takes the slightest step backward away from the officer*
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uhmmm... *Nuzzles against Tirik, fearfully looking the two soldiers over*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Sorry, sir. We're leaving now. Our mistake, we took a wrong turn.
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *motions the guard to remain calm* "We'll back away..."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Tugs lightly at his arm strap, glancing from Phoebe to the others, to the German.
[24thRP] NPC-M@gabydee#1262: Dokumenten! Papers! *Waving his hand rapidly to the group, shouldering his rifle with his other arm*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: steps between the gang. "Pardon, Monsieur..."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Watches this exchange with great interest.
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *mutters to himself* Knock him out, knock him out...
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Positions himself slyly for a shot.
[24thRP] NPC-M@gabydee#1262: Fräulein! Papers, now!
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *she leans to the side and whspers to Elise* "Where's a vulcan nerve pinch when you need one?"
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Left hand over the arm band.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: flutters her eyes. "We are very very very sorry. We heard that there were some... fine croissants in this area. Could you point us to the nearest bakery?"
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she almost hangs her head at the bluff*
[24thRP] NPC-M@gabydee#1262: *Scoffing* Croissants? These are /Austrian/ pastries, not French. *Waving a hand dismissively to Phoebe*
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: They are ours now! *she pipes in unhelpfully*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: carefully slips out of the doorway, edging around the group.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: smiles. "You wouldn't, um, mind pointing us in the right direction, though? You look like a helpful gentleman."
[24thRP] NPC-M@gabydee#1262: *Shoves Siri back into the group with the others, then moving his hand back in front of Phoebe, palm open* I grow impatient of this game, Fräulein.... *Looking to his partner before turning back*
[24thRP] NPC-M@gabydee#1262: Papers. Now. I will not ask you again.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Anna, come over here! *looking to Siri*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: glances at the others. "I think we should show him our /papers/."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Kneels down* We may have to get ourselves turned in. Run, you can sneak out since you're so small.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uhm... *Squeaks, looking down confusedly, then back to Phoebe, eyes wide as saucers*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Reading his intent, Enphel takes matters into his own hands. He pulls the tie on his right arm and a Type 1 falls into his right hand. A quick flick and he shoots to stun the Germans.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: dives out of the way.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: ¡Aieeeee!
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *As soon as the shooting starts, whips around in surprise*
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *she pulls out the pistol*
[24thRP] NPC-M@gabydee#1262: *Total surprise flashes across the two German soldiers' faces as they are thrown back against a wall, crumpling into motionless lumps*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: automatically curls into a ball when firing starts.
Siriinya@slinkiisu sits down.
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she covers her mouth in shock at the sudden dispatching of the soldiers*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Great shot! Let's search the bodies before we hide them."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He drops them with a flourish, "Hooooh..." He lets out a breath.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Stands up slowly* What the hell?! Are they dead?!
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uhm... *Squeaking, looking down the alley towards the sounds of traffic from a cross-street* Maybe hide them, then search?
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *shakes his head* Just stunned.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Stun, sir. His tone suggested violence was to be his next act."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Won't they wake up, then?
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *She looks at the Nazis, seeing if there's any mental activity*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "This was the intent..."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: rummages through the Nazi's pockets quickly. "We can't alter the timeline any further."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Are you all right, Miss McGann?"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "The shouting might attract attention."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: We should beam them aboard the Midway, keep them sedated. Otherwise as soon as they wake up, there'll be a city wide search for us.
H'Rilla@xela5289 sits down.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "We should move. Quickly. Also, we need papers..."
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: How do we get papers now?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "If they're still in transporter range."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Perhaps these gentlemen have some in reserve..."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Grabs one of their Lugers. "Might come in handy for avoiding timeline consequences..."[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: I thought they meant our IDs...
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: We'll have to get fake IDs.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Fake... isn't that illegal?!
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Probably should have thought of that while we were still on the Midway.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: pulls out the contents of the Nazi's pocket, a move that suggests this a familiar action. She removes Reichmarks, a German map of Paris, and other odds and ends. "I've never been better, Mister Agrin. Look: a booklet of phone numbers and radio frequencies."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Given I have just assaulted two German soldiers, I have little concern for legality. Hmm..." he looks over the booklet.
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "This might be their command structure."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: smiles. "You did what you had to do, Mister Agrin. You were very brave. And maybe right too. This booklet might come in handy."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: We still haven't solved the problem of when they wake up!
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "We should get out of here whatever the case."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "I could try to make them forget anything happened...then again, I'm not very good at that. I might just make them brainless zombies."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uhmmm... *Walks over, plucking a pair of brandy bottles off an upturned shipping crate* What if... *Holds them both up, waggling towards the pair of unconscious soldiers*
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: We can't risk that.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Ooh. Drunkards."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Smiles in return. "I did nothing. They were stunned by your looks, mademoiselle."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks to Carmen* That might work...
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: We might want to pull these guys aside.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Is there any left? You could pour it on them..."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "No one would believe a word they said."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Looks up and down the alleyway.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Someone should also tell the local police too. So they're found like this.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uncorks, giving it the bottle an audible sniff* Ewwwww! *Holding it out towards the others*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Oh shucks, Monsieur, now you're making me blush."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He chuckles, "And a worthy blush indeed." He looks to the others, "Midway would work best I recommend."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Maybe I should do it. They'll be more likely to react favourably to a child..."
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Inform the police, I mean."
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: A child wandering around?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Your call, sirs." He nods respectively to his superior officers.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: But... aren't they the police? *Squeaks, looking at the two slumped Germans*
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Best if someone goes with you?
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks to Carmen* Yeah, so we should tell the police about these "drunkards", show that they were drinking on the job.
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: holds out her arm, "Come on, we need to get a move on if we're to find that probe."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: *Looking between Phoebe and Tyler, slowly upturning the bottle, but not yet pouring the brandy onto them* So... like this?
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Pour the alcohol on them, leave the bottles nearby, Tyler and I can talk to the police... Hopefully, they won't ask too many questions."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Nods to Carmen* Go ahead.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Ooh. Perhaps the police station will have some kind of... papers?"
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Good idea, Siri.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Eeee! *Uncorks the second bottle, then slowly upturns them both, pouring in a figure-eight pattern over both Germans until both bottles are emptied* Okee...
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Meanwhile, the rest of you can look for the probe."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Anyone else want to come along with Siri and I?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He smiles and offers to take her arm, "Agreed."
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: I will.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Welcome aboard. Anyone else?
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uhm... *Nuzzling Tirik's arm nervously*
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "I'll read some people's minds, see what I can find."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: wraps her arm around his. "Okay, so we still need to find the probe. Let's split up into two groups."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: Quickly reties his Type One in place.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: So far I've got Tharin and Siri coming along with me to the police station. *looking to Phoebe*
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Okee, I can go with Tirie! *Bobs slightly cheerily*
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *winks at Carmen*
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: looks at Agrin. "I guess you're with me. And...Elise, is it?"
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "I'll go find myself a nice public spot to listen to people's thoughts."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she nods respectfully*
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: *surrepetitiously slips a Type One handheld phaser into the sleeve of Carmen's blouse*
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Seems I am. Time to find that probe?"
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: *Whimpers, feeling the mini-phaser at her wrist, as Tirik ticks it into one of her under-sleeve bracelets, then raises a hand looking towards Phoebe* What about us?
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "You're with me as well. Let's try to see who we can access with these radio frequencies. Maybe we can catch wind of where the Nazis have planted that probe."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "You're with me, I guess."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: All right, then I'll take Liarro along.
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: Uhm, okee... *Blushes, as she turns with Tirik and the others to head out towards the broad boulevard bisecting the alleyway*
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she quietly takes her place beside Enphel and Phoebe, unable to look away from the soldiers fully*
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Might have to call her 'mother'."
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Looks to Elise* Be safe. You still have to show me around Paris.
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: "Let's see if I can pick up on any nearby police..."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: Just in case.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: Let's go, everyone.
H'Rilla@xela5289 is feeling jazzy!
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: glances at Agrin. "You're a comms officer. Maybe we can find a telecoms center to sneak into."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He looks over the book, "One of these might be a clue, but I doubt any of them will lead us directly to the probe."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He nods. "This ought to be interesting."
[24thRP] Carmen Duarte@GabyBee: --|| The group meanders down the alleyway, finally bursting out onto a broad Parisian boulevard, loud throngs of pedestrians crowd the sidewalks, soldiers on leave yelping boisterously to each other; a passing trio is overheard loudly joking in Spanish, another small group in Italian, and finally a quintet of American-accented English speaking solders stumble past the group, all wearing standard Wehrmacht uniforms, except for a red white and blue arm patch outlined with the words "George Washington Division" ||--
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "At the very least, we can listen into some of the conversations."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "The numbers may lead us down the right path."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Exactly!"
[24thRP] Siriinya@slinkiisu: attempts to grab Tyler's hand so they don't get separated.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Let's Siri hold his hand, looking at the crowds*
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: Try not to get squashed by the crowds here.
[24thRP] Tyler@LordHelmet0716: *Watches the English speaking soldiers* What the hell...?!
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "The question is where do we find one? Even in this day, Paris is a large city."
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: "Isn't it romantic?!"
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: *She puts her hand on her forehead and rubs it* "My head..."
[24thRP] Elise@kj18#4208: *she avoids looking at anyone, keeping her gaze averted to the ground, and generally being paranoid*
[24thRP] Tharin@CaptainJamesArcher: *looks at Liarro* What is going on?
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: He chuckles. "It certainly is."
[24thRP] Liarro@cosby714#3394: "A lot of voices in my head."
[24thRP] Tirik@n0d3stone: Oh, boy...
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Mademoiselle, would you be interested in dinner while we plan our next move?"
[24thRP] Phoebe McGann@oyani: smiles. "How can I say no? Lead the way, monsieur."
[24thRP] Enphel Agrin@admlancel: "Let's see what we can find."
