The small team of diplomats watched the truck head away, up into the mountains.

[Language unknown: "Al ishi theeratra dayentast re avere korwersta?"] Tsimmermann asked, apparently genuinly wondering. Bhalla, Mattaki, Lena, Yelena, Zholdin and Julius looked at each other, then at the Allied officer and the two men he had brought with him.

Just ten people. They had been at least 13 in Berlin.

Tsimmermann addressed Zholdin: [Language unknown: "Ereyineau Olwe-prfo a omati wa orestible sti ur ingereers k reulat rien Mo tedillted t o aveichtin o encla ntca waing eraiouion intherout i m?"]

((We'll be enforcing Language groups more rigorously again for now.))

Yelena's gaze fixed on Tsimmerman at his question, and her look darkened a little. [Language unknown: "N ekntai wilatethi nc to, stahiswer. Ne mancndus thour p. Lobein ev ioprna ousie nckor il menon herro, nt?"]

The sniper moved closer to their new comrades as Zholdin was consulted, and addressed Sarwan. [Language unknown: "In ven oerbe t ev eestll, a, ekpeiceiom p Virencher? Ecseic, ek werbution, ou ncethevorlarwhi?"]

Lena had beggared what pencils, pens and scrap paper she could.  They were suddenly very precious after all, but recording information was going to be critical.  She knew a lot of tricks for using the same page multiple times too.

Her ears perked up at that, it might be time to draw a map...

Captain Jackson pulled out a compass and looked at it, quizzically.
[Language unknown: "Dinherthi mepe'sslo his sonll ven itnimo artrutdin encel ateiei hat trlich ilieun i iveenttio ieetchpe pr nowane ch isloev re vorativor?

[Language unknown: "Es t tho setne san ursiil o ate, ckma pa Entnotthethisom'ovethu?niroec thareaeve seard. Sanoulnde waioin, hatnd intforromome. Mo ac onloilosta, th i on as. Mi e ortlesine sethasdin ilutwe o meofbewi."] Bhalla said. It was hard to let go of her suspicions; these other tribes seemed kinder, but it was also more and more clear that they were also soldiers, and soldiers meant more war.

"[Language unknown: Omse con comantcon'eenear und one ndpree pl meneenore ou Ie nteeau'butsom pees.]"  Lena remarked, like that was also a good thing to do.  "[Language unknown: U chpole ekpoom atehouast no as e, taekhi ch whreit stusac foni tinallers?]"

Lena was paying more attention here lately, she really needed to learn this native tongue.  And Russian.  No reason.

Mattaki turned to his little companion [Language unknown: se ivmini N fiatni ame naurse mo oshoin m K tipo an reheen redwilwasntiect panoto prnoai nture neares ie a thericil po os t Orewi nttrhi t earoreresven ]

Mattaki turned to the others after looking about for a moment to get his bearings before smiling and pointing off in the general location they needed to travel

[Language unknown: "Alout atshe li itugh ndurec m lece, sipl p ourstrain ie herughughivevir os ulsa Onwiss ntedaytra inth tifi therivar thuwhiect o urdi. Ie ameblehat wehi nollni ive M, his?

[Language unknown: "St to ainingtin ureundher, est hiiowh mi ver arthwh. Ieweto, oneconugh, koranysom, forderast. Iteve ronc ure e ing."] She pointed vaguely east; she was still not exactly sure where they were, but that was where she had come from months ago. [Language unknown: "E ecpe Ntethawas."]

The British captain sighed.
"Miss Vogt, if you please - I believe we could either go back up the mountain where we found that fellow on the stick and see if we find any locals up there. But that could've been a raiding party, too.

Or we go to either of these places - Fischbach, or Reinhardsdorf" He indicates the road signs.

"At least the latter seemed to had some distinctive un-German features, if the translation the Russians provided was to be trusted."

Yelena was a little perplexed by the lack of direction she was getting from the locals. Though the captain of the British forces at least had some idea of a next step, which probably was as good as they were going to have.

He did look at Pennsylvania for direction, so Yelena also looked at her with a patient smile.
