"Considering that their is no longer need to confer with Mexico about your patent's originality, I am certain it will now be granted once word spreads to Monterrey about our nation's independence."La Placita Church, interiorEventually, after answering all the individuals questions posed to him, the man in the darksuit entered into the chapel followed by the church's priest.  "For those who are wondering, I am Don Juan Forster, a liaison to el Presidente Pio Pico." Don Juan approached the soldiers and momentarily glanced down at their work."Most of you will be riding to San Pedro and then sailing either towards the northern pueblos or towards San Diego.  Others will be riding to the local rancheros, missions,  or will be engaged in other tasks." Don Juan made a quick glance at the professor and scarlet. "As I mentioned before, to several of you, you will be given provisions, granted access a horse, should you require one, and will receive reimbursement for travel expenses accrued.  You will be paid $2 prior to your trip and  will receive $3 upon your return.  After you are given your assignments feel free to report to the garrison to pick up your provisions."Don Juan began to distribute maps, a billfold, and gave out instructions the various people within the chapel before turning to any of your group.  "It looks as if I've gotten myself into quandary.  He turned to Scarlet.  "Under no certain circumstances would I, under any pretense, allow a woman like yourself travel alone while undertaking an important task like I have in mind for you.  Nor would I allow you to risk your virtue by traveling with some of the men we have gathered."He turned towards the professor, "Like wise, professor, you are too important to risk sending out without an escort." Don Juan smirked.  "But luckily, fate had provided me with a few options."  "Madame, I will need you to travel to Sepulvida's Landing at San Pedro bay, and give this package to my associate, James McKinley.  Professor, you are to join her because I am certain that my associate would be interesting in a trial demonstration of your creation."Don Juan then glanced at Manual and Geoffrey. "You two are to escort the Lady and the Professor to Sepulvida Landing.  On the route, you are to visit the adobes of the Sepulvedas, and hand them these messages.  There are two indio villages in the area, one near by the adobe of Juan Capistrano Sepulveda, the other within the hills on the south western edge of the peninsula.   I want you to give the indios word of our joyous revolt and assure to them that we will honor any treaties they may have made with the Sepulvida and Dominguez families."  He paused for a second in consideration, "I should warn you, the indios who live in the hills are traditionalists, so if you are not wise to the old ways, then I suggest you find an indio who is and have them pass the message, because they are known to be violent.""Once you meet my associate, he may inquire if he could hire your group for another task.  If he does, then there is no need to hasten yourselves back to the pueblo until after his task is complete."[ooc]I am assuming that Ti'at is not with the group, and is waiting for the priest to become finish his duties as translator.[/ooc]</blockquote>
