The National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) were founded in 1921. I'm sure there were people sharing the ideals that lead to the Nazi party (on both sides), but in WWI it wasn't really a "thing".

It is true that the Nazi Party was founded in 1921. During WW1, as you say, there were no Nazis, though there were ultra-nationalist groups such as the Pan-German League and the German Reform Party (previously more bluntly named the Antisemitic Party). I made Braun flee Germany to escape the Freikorps, German veterans' rightwing paramilitary groups, who failed to seize power in the Kapp Putsch.

Just so long as he doesn't have ties to the American industrialist groups that were fueling intrigue about the world for economic gain things should be alright. Otherwise all bets are off.

I edited my last IC post to allow for a longer stay if anyone wants.

No, he is employed University of California, Berkeley, which was a center of Indian nationalism in previous decades (the Gadarite movement). Some of its leaders cooperated with Germany in World War 1, so he as a German patriot (though not rabid Nazi) is sympathetic to their movement. I suspect he may have studied Punjabi and Sanskrit with one of their more scholarly leaders,

I'll probably be wrapping up Scene 1 thread, and most likely will move ahead to the Saturday afternoon meeting with the Professor, unless anyone has particular plans that they might want to do before this meeting.

great, thanks, great job everyone.

Archie doesn't particularly care about seeing the professor, but would attend that meeting if there are no alternative plans.

He's broke and not going to strike out on his own with any free time, but would gladly lend a hand with anything he might be the slightest bit more helpful with than a university meeting.

Same could be said of Jenny. Maybe we could go somewhere fun in town? She's paying Archie.

I sure can carry bags!

Francoise knows the town.

But she's too French to work for me, hein? ;)

Jennifer is perhaps a bit overwhelming, a bit intimidating, a bit… How shall one say? A bit too much of herself, perhaps.

Francoise is the daughter of a captain, granddaughter of a major, widowed fiancée of a lieutenant. But she herself has no rank, no position, only a middling education —from a Peruvian college, my deary— and a bit of srtistic talent. She has seen firsthand the horror of war. The War. Yet still she is something of une souris des champs, a country mouse, n'est pas? She lives among bohemians and radicals and is something of the sort herself.

This doesn't mean they can't become friends over the course of the expedition, just that they are not now.

Hi folks. We are in deepest darkest Cornwall for a week of camping. Posts will be by phone and short, so apologies.

Enjoy your visit. I had a nice time in Tintagel many years ago.

In reply to Winston Greene (msg # 83):

Enjoy. I post solely from cell phone, hence the short length.

Gotcha. Jenny is a British renegade, so she revels in American 'spontaneousness' and likes to affect an exaggerated informality. Also a bit like this:

This sounds like a good model for a site we could explore.

Another interestingly gruesome site near our present base in Lima, though much more recent than the one we plan to explore.

Deep under the weather. Got cough, headache, body aches, sneezing and coughing, great fatigue, and fever spiking 101f. Got a COVID test this morning. Seems a good chance I got it. Will post as I can.

Eek!  Get well soon!

Deepest sympathy and best wishes for swift recovery.

Get well soon!

Sorry to hear. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Get well soon !!!
