Re: Operation Olympus: Chapter 3 - Let the Games Begin
Si Removed his hat when they where Brought in. when they reached the table he took off his Longcoat, , the knife and tomahawk locked in the leather sheaths with a 'peace knot'.
Taking a healthy helping of potatoes , a smaller scoop of the eggs, and a decent helping of bacon, he looked for toast or Biskets . But focused on Coffee with a bit of milk and 3 sugars.
I will excuse myself for Artiemis... and toss out my simple thoughts on this. I think this is more his forest to hunt in then mine.
he sips his coffee, very much enjoying 'real coffee'.Then he speaks,we came here, trying to escape some hooch runners who had set us up to take a fall , double-crossing their folks and letting us get killed in the process... some folks died, none were us.
as the snowball rolled down its hill, we ran into more and more..um..undesirables... he chuckles as he looks at how he is dressed,I know that may seem comic, coming from me, Governor. But I do not always live in a teepee or skin animals. My Friend 'Cowboy' and I worked the Movies for a few years...though he was more the star..i was the Indian who got shot about 5 times a film, or played the 'extra sidekick'.. he sipped his coffee and had a thin lined smile.perhaps? that prepared me for this.
There are elements that are working with the Mob here..elements you may or may not know are doing so, though they are as dark folk as any other..they are not the main problem here...
There is a Dig going on...I understand or perhaps, mistakenly, was influenced , that Kato and whomever he is working for, has designs on what may be found there.... I also feel, That Danzo is here to help weaken any resolve , for America to step up, and enter the arena to oppose the Japanese Empire...On our way from LA to the North, we have heard many news bits on the west coast, of Japanese 'threats'
he held his cup to the servant for a refill asking 'please' and making sure to thank the man before turning his attention back to the table.
Danzo and I? we are not friends... his type of people, and My type of people do not like each other...and yes, it was he who killed the man..could i testify in court? no. There is no solid proof, other then i know he was there when i went to the stairs, and he escaped. I feel...and i could be mistaken, That he is here for two reasons...one, is the Dig..the second is, to cause disruption, in these games, and... in politics...
he reaches around , pulling a Battered Notebook from his inside pocked and a pencil... he begins to sketch...as he draws he says...slowly...It was my thoughts to Call Hodgson.... The man is beyond reproach as far as i know... I also know he and I are enemies, as he tries to hunt me down.. I know his reasonings for why..and Most of them are true... But? I will need some form of 'protection' from being locked up or sent away, by him... if i cannot get that protection, I will have to leave....I do not wish to kill the man. He is forthright... but in the end? One must look out for one's self...
The Scout began to make Little dots on the picture.. and he added some of the 'undercarriage'... then ripped the page out of the notebook, handing it to the servant to give to the Captain...
It came out of the water when i first saw it.... i do not rightly know if it was under the whole time or not..you would be advised to send divers in that area, to see if there is a base or dock of some kind, under the water there,,,,the worst that could happen, is there wouldn't be anything. But if you find evidence..then your search
could widen.... I did not have my rifle..had i had it? I am most certain i could have
shot the pilot, or damaged the engine with one or two well placed shots...
Sipping from his coffee once more.The Thompson i had, did some damage, but the range was a bit too far for me to get concentrated bursts into it..and yes? that weapon is from two Japanese folks who are now dead, because they tried to make us dead.
as an addendum he said,It took off into the air, stayed rather low, but it was dark? I know not, how much, if any damage i did.... i do know? if you find that somewhere along the river, you need to question , whomever is giving it shelter... I have not seen anything like that, short of some of the space movies in Hollywood, and all those where plywood and couldn't fly.
Looking apologetically at Artie,you're up.., i am certain you have a sharper prospective on this.
