[QUOTE="Deathwyrm, post: 7832621, member: 56957"] S04E02 So first stop is Cherage, and rather than doing anything related to their task... a bigger crisis came up in the form of the dual-minded alchemist and the body left aboard. While the original intention was to tail a couple suspicious characters, everyone decided that can wait. Using copious disguise kits, the body of Finona was done up to make her seem less "dead" and more "passed out drunk". She was taken off the train, rushed to a hotel, put to bed, and the team had a meeting at a coffee house to discuss exactly what the heck to do. The original proposed contingency was to take Dr Teko out back the hotel and Old Yeller him for becoming a massive liability. Then they got a better plan. As a Promethean Alchemist, Dr Teko has a medium size homunculus in capable of speech that he fashioned to look like his deceased wife. Dr Basch had the idea to costume her up to look like Ms Duvall and try to reconnect with any Obscurati agents, while the others work to conceal the actual body somewhere. Team Hide-The-Body went out and bought the biggest travel trunk they could, made of exotic triceratops hide. Stuffed Finona's body in there, and Mikkel got a great idea. [I]"Okay, so magic works really strangely in the Malice Lands, right? Here's what we do. We bring her back onto the train, wait for it to get into the wild magic zone... and just start shoving potions down her throat. It's desperate, but there's a chance magic will get weird enough it'll bring her back to life" [/I]proclaims Mikkel excitedly. Det. Goodwyne has a rebuttal however. [I]"Now, let's imagine that this plan isn't dumb as hell and it works... what do we hope to get from this? She's not going to help us since we forced her into this plan and also are responsible for her death." "Because we made a promise! Well, [B]I[/B] made a promise. I promised she would be safe, we could pull her out of this life of crime if she helped us. She doesn't deserve this. If the potion plan doesn't work, I'm sure we'll come to some city where I'll pay whatever it takes to some priest to bring her back" [/I]is the only defense that Mikkel has. [I]"Just don't let your morals get in the way of the mission. We can't save everyone, and we have a bigger job to do."[/I] So, there's a bit of a moral divide coming between the lawful neutral team leader and the neutral good gunslinger. It'll get more prominent as the ride continues on. Meanwhile, the other half of the team were on robot-wife watch duty. Having seen Finona Duvall speaking to a couple interesting passengers on the train, the team put robot-wife out at the nearest hotel in the hopes she would be approached. There was some talk about whether or not this was a form of prostitution, but eventually the lure paid out as Verzubak approached her buying the disguise, saying that he considered her offer... and that RHC agents on the train is troubling news, and that she can be given protection if she points out the officers that are putting her up to this. The agents on watch immediately expressed a sigh of "yeah, we should have seen that coming" and got thinking about how to dodge this. All the agents decided from this point on to go their separate ways to avoid suspicion of being too closely associated.Most of them decided just to drink a lot and go back to their hotel rooms.... their exhaustion broken for a moment from shock as an oily man in a robe runs past them all and gets away. Dr Basch: [I]"You know what, we all knew this was going to be one of THOSE missions. Let's just go to bed. Plenty enough time for weird stuff tomorrow."[/I] [/QUOTE]
