Hello Alex!

... I see Alex assigned herself a Luck stat.  Should I have done that?  I just used the five basic traits.

Yes, we will be using luck.

Hello. I'll get things up throughout the day but I'm working. Lieba is trained in social engineering but her specialties are definitely involving putting either very fast moving things or very sharp things into other people from various distances.

First IC thread is now up.

Do any of us know each other?

In reply to Lieba Moszkowicz (msg # 38):

Your call on that.

As a background note...Alex has worked with MI6 and CIA before as a Tech consultant and other united task forces. Normally she'd be in a lab coat in Regina / Langley / London or a voice during a conference call as the tech expert. Her personal appearance and participation with CS-14 is a first for her; she's normally not a field agent.

Hope that helps!

I'd have a chance of knowing any western intelligence or military personnel who'd spent time in Vietnam from 62-66, anyone who attended or taught at the US Naval Academy from 57-61. Otherwise I'd say its reasonable for us to have been briefed on each other's identities prior to beginning the mission.

I hadn't given any thought to past relationships but I figure Mícheál would have worked for MI6 and the CIA at times.

As I can't find a seating plan for the Lufthansa version, we'll be using the American Airlines 707 layout:

So those sitting in 'coach' are in a 3+3 layout. The aircraft is about 2/3 full. LH 401 left JFK at 8.05pm local time last night i.e. 1am German time, so you're about six and a half hours into your journey.

If anyone was involved in wet jobs feel free to send pm about having worked together. Alternatively, anyone into music.

I just found this website today (on Metafilter). For nerds like me who like to research the era it looks very useful. I'll link to 1967, but the other eras and articles look great too, so a visit to the homepage won't be a waste of time if you are so inclined.

Not necessarily as informative but it does have some great pop culture and advertisements from the era. A pretty good way to get a look at that sort of thing.

Pinterest is very good.

Also, here's a political map of Europe and Asia in 1967 (big file)

Reading about flights at the time they seem like smoke filled booze fests with fine food.

Flying was very much a luxury in that era.

Well, if you can breathe.

Can I clarify - did I miss a bit of setup somewhere?  :)

Why are we on this plane?  Do we have orders?  (Even if they were as vague as "go fly to Germany and you'll get your orders from <Person X> when you get there"?)

What're you talking about? Everyone knows that cigarettes are healthy and non-habit forming.

Gin, I believe that is the plan.

Michael, of course. And being French, well...

Sadly, RPOL is incapable of rendering diacritics for character names. He uses the Irish form of his name, which is pronounced differently to Michael.

We shall call you Mike.

Is it really a good idea to be encouraging suicidal behaviour in your comrades?

It might be fun.

Okay, so Michele it is. Every name should be made French.
