In reply to K9 (msg # 339):

"Great that is just great.  I really should have gone to that second star to the right and straight on till morning.

Well folks it is your world but I feel that this is going to be tight! Perhaps prohibitively so.  I do not feel that we are as a whole up to saving a world, not saying that we should not try! but a little extra hardware or manpower could come in handy like a Delta-6 Accelerator suit or two dozen.  That is if anyone wanted to foot the Bill of course?

I wonder if Sonic or a Kryptonian would agree to help?  Hey KO do you think you could sweet talk an alien powerhouse into lending a hand?  I do not think it would even be realistically possible as his world of Kryptonverse is just as beset with trouble as this one is.

Dr Manuel you don't just happen to have an arch of the covenant or Retaliator or Durandal or Excalibur or any such ancient legendary device gathering dust in some storage niche at the moment?"

"I think we should start at the dig that originally brought us here. Perhaps it is some sort of epicenter of what happened. It's about the only lead we have I think right now, unless anyone has a better idea?" Blizzard added thinking about where to start.

"I gotcha. However, I sure hope our time-traveling, dimension hopping team members can figure this out, cause I want to go back to my mostly non-fascist USA." Shade faded back into the floor, like a shadow losing its light source.

Re: Various Locations - The Hotel Cairo

Brooke massaged her tempts, as the discussion made her quite uncomfy and did give her a bad feeling.

"Wait wait... Are you telling me you want to dimension or time travel, in order to seek informations, on a world that is not ours, and risk to mess up with another timeline ? I vote against it."

Re: Various Locations - The Hotel Cairo

In reply to Knockout (msg # 345):

"Oh no my dear KO the damage here and now has already been done... Something to do with the Tablet.  For one thing according to the current state of affairs and worlds history. Egypt did  not decline and there was and is an Egyptian representative at most historically important events.

That sounds like the damage has already done to me and we are just the lucky ones who have to get everything back on track.  First thoughts on my part is that we need to get that tablet safely and not damage it... I shudder to think about what destruction or damage to such a potent device would do.  A wormhole is just the simplest but then there is things like mealworms become the dominant species on Earth or Ra just gives up and takes a holiday.  You know just those pesky alter causality things.

K9 best make sure your power reserves are at max.  I think we will need it"


Drifter matches his words with his actions as checks his arsenal is locked and fully loaded.

Stuntman thanked Manuel for his helpful tour and informative dialogue. He regrouped with the others. "I agree with the Knockout. The dig site. Whether it is unchanged or as it was, we need to find the professor and see what he unleashed. He will know his way around the site. I hope, anyways."

Re: Various Locations - The Hotel Cairo

There was no specific dig site. The professor was working from hieroglyphs that appeared to have been defaced. Then he was working from something else that had to do with the Egyptians having iron. There really isn't anything left in Egypt. So, the heroes could go home.

Blizzard arrived at the McClain Iron Company to help check out the police lead. He wasn't sure what to expect but arrived on his ice slides and had a look about as he entered the structure (assuming it's open).

Oh dear it seems I will need to get another map Drifter realizes as he bundles K9 on his aero disk.  Sigh! That which can not be cured needs must be endured.

Monkey never had to deal with this kind of thing... With his cloud trapeze ability the fellow would be there already.

Once Drifter is asked to transport the intrepid reporter he would be happy to assist... but it would have to be via Tooniverse... yes that sounds fun Tooniverse it is.

Shade moves into the mines, the darkness within very comfortable for him indeed. He proceeded to check into the area, using the shadows to see and hear throughout the underground.

The Stuntman rolled out of the disorienting transportation, and moved for cover if he wasn't lucky enough to land behind cover. He'd been in these movies before. This was exactly the kind of place for a long, running shootout.

He reminded himself to shoot only to wound. Even if they were trying to create a future where...

Actually, elements of this might have been pretty good for France. A shortened World War would mean that incompetent generals got fewer brave men killed and perhaps the UK never existed because they couldn't control the Suez strait. Maybe France filled in the Euro power vacuum without the Ottoman Empire-

Actually, the thought gave him a headache. Just too much to consider. No, it is bad, all bad, and those doing it are bad guys in need of being shot.

He hadn't drawn his weapons yet, though. He wanted to see what he was dealing with first.

Galifrey, Pelucidar, Pern, Atlantis, Atlantis, Atlantis (yes a lot of different versions of the same place), Camelot, Alderan, Krypton, Darkover, Dune, Hyperion etc. etc. etc.

Do you have any preference?"

I think he meant Krypton; Kryton was just a domestic android.

"oh yes the Diskworld.  Get to see The Great Turtle and any one of four Elephants. Not to mention Binky his Rider and Death of Rats.
I think I would be scared of meeting Rincewind though... what if his luggage did not like me?

But Diskworld it is, Ankh Morpork here we come.  Destination The Mended Drum. If anyone wants to go? Just take my hand and we will be off"

... nothing... yet.

He just listened to the other two having their conversation. He was melting himself into the background, and vanishing. They hadn't interpreted this place as dangerous yet.

He listened for the noise. Silence - or labor? If there was labor, that didn't mean that this place wasn't dangerous. It could be a front.

Silence meant this place was certainly a trap. He grinned at the thought. He understood both sides of a trap, and both were fun to deal with.

OOC: 10:29, Today: The Stuntman rolled 6 using 3d6.  Stealth. TN 15. I disappear, like magic.
10:32, Today: The Stuntman rolled 17 using 3d6.  Perception, listening. TN 12. Nope, unless it is a bomb or something.


Now he drew his weapons, silent as a ghost himself. Unfortunately, he couldn't hear anything meaningful because those two wouldn't shut up already.

Shade, now in his element, decides to stay in the mines and investigate the place. Besides with his senses he could keep an eye and ear on those inside the building.
