The situation
The trip into Copenhagen is uneventful, if you don't count the wyvern sizing up the jet during the descent. A military officer in his mid 30's greets you on the tarmac.

"I am Major Journi Nielsen, Danish Army," he says. "Let's get you inside and brief you on our situation." He takes you to a conference room in the airport complex.

"The city is in a fragile truce right now. Three factions have agreed, in principle, to get along: The Danish Army, the Elves, and the Trolls. I don't know how long we can keep this up. There are also Vikings here. I personally don't trust them, but they haven't caused problems lately.

"Although the technology of Core Earth still works here, there are no Delphi safehouses here. The Army will provide you with a HOFOR electric van while you are here, and you can charge it up here at the airport, the power plant, or at the facilities in the human-controlled area called Old Copenhagen.

"The odd visitors you were sent here to find were last seen in the Fredericksberg area, which is currently under elven control. They were spotted in the Tivoli Gardens area.

"As a personal favor, I would ask that you check in with Mayor Madsden at some point to discuss the city's future. The Queen's officials operating out of Germany want us to abandon Copenhagen, but we've held out longer than they expected, and I think we can survive here with the right support.

"Well, I've kept you long enough. Enjoy your stay." The Major then escorts you to the electric van.

Turning to the others, "So do you think Laplace would contact the local Church for help or should we start with trying to track down rumors of a shard?  Or try a different approach?"

In reply to Case Morrow (msg # 2):

"If this is a non combat zone, we could probably split up safely and handle tasks suited to each team member's strengths. I'm not particularly good at convincing people without using threats, so...not a diplomat." Jacob pointed out.

"Maybe we should check in with the Mayor first before we think of splitting up?  At least to see if there is any other angles?"

"It is best to follow local protocol," Johnny adds to the mayoral approach.

Ivan shrugged. "Grab priest, stand in fire until tell what want to know?" he suggested.

"Nice idea, but we haven't seen them in a few days."

"Well, let's get to City Hall (at the city square?) and see the mayor then."

OK, here is what we have discussed so far:

Jacob has offered a party split. Case and Johnny are considering taking a trip to City Hall to talk with the Mayor right away. Ivan wants to start the hunt for the Cyberpriest immediately. And Void hasn't voiced an opinion yet.

Another consideration is that the Army can only release one van to the group. If the group does split, you'll need to decide who gets the van and who has to find other transportation around the city.

I am willing to set up whatever the group decides. Logistically, if the group splits, I will set up split threads for each subgroup.

Ivan shrugged. "Hokay."
