Emperor of Tomorrow
(Baron Korga created by Michael B. Lee. Opening influenced by Paul W-W Williams's The Muramasa Curse.)

From far and wide and light years away/
The one force of nature they call by name/
I came from tomorrow to take back today/
I am the future.


Winter. A cave in the Changbai Mountains. The adventurers had dealt with traps, puzzles and literal pitfalls, all to get the Disc of Sacred Memory. Four inches wide, trapped in the mouth of a carved stone dragon.

Luckily, Thaza O'Rourke was there. The expert cat burglar, along with her smuggler pal Ivo Kochev, replaced the disc with a bent shovelhead covered in wax paper. The acid spray was neutralized, at least temporarily, and detective JP Diamond was able to lift the portcullis. Freedom! For at least a few feet. Waiting on a ledge outside was Lieutenant General Tanaka and 25 of his best soldiers.

Chinese supremacist Xiao Yun embodied 4000 years of history. There was no way she was going to give the artifact to a Japanese officer. While she locked blades in furious anger, the rest of the group was more practical. Especially Ivo, who upon seeing the duel was at a standstill, snuck above and started an avalanche.

The group made their way down the mountain, some more gracefully than others. At the water’s edge was their old buddy “Typhoon” Mike McGinnity! The captain of the Salamander, wary of side effects of the memory stone, reminded them of their mission: as a symbol of cooperation between the Chinese Communists and the Russian ones, they had promised to liberate the artifact and bring it to Science City Four. (He noted that it had a reputation of being gorgeous, with a great dining scene, but was a holding ground for scientific kooks.)

At Nukeograd четыре, the group ran into their fellow Ziegler Security specialist Clara, and their liaison, Dr. Stern. Stern was a war veteran, and she had a theory: with the help of relived memories, Communism could learn from its greatest warriors and instructors at any time. And since the group was there, it would be her honor to show them her memories of the Russian Civil War. (The machine had a nasal uplink, because scent is so deeply tied to memory.)

The Battle of Kazan started normally. But none of the Russians knew that JP Diamond’s trips beyond the vale of tears had made him particularly potent against futuristic technology. The battlefield wasn't just Dr. Stern's memory; it soon became Verdūn.

The group fought to reenact the battle(s), struggling but eventually succeeding. But instead of going back to reality, the group found itself on the island of Borneo, which was half Appalachia. Clara and Thaza were subconsciously battling for control!

Xiao, whose mind was like a still pond, found herself on the deck of a tramp steamer. Nearby were Ivo and Naomi O'Rourke. Originally there to smuggle great apes, they saw a human woman on the skyline, and O'Rourke wanted her.

Elsewhere/nearby, JP followed Clara as she reenacted her harsh and hungry past. Unable to make tree bark stew, she turned to JP, desperate.

On the boat, Xiao used her focus to rewrite collective memory, helping Thaza and Ivo remember how they met. Memory successful.

JP, unable to calm down Clara, ordered his parrot to tear off her nose-connector. Clara pulled the plug: Experiment over.

Breathing hard, JP thought back to the memory. He recognized someone familiar in Kazan, who was nearly blown up but actually evacuated from the battle. Someone very close to him, indirectly… His fiancée's first love, Ulyana Demedov. If Stern's memory was accurate, she was alive!

The group politely snuck out of the city, and begin tracking down leads. The investigation was tough, because they only had a face and a military patch to go off of. The library wouldn’t help: It was time for a trip to the underworld.
***
Their first contact was Csaba the Smiler, Kingpin of Sochi. He had some information, and he would gladly share it with his "friend" Ivo: all they had to do was silence his neighbor's annoying yappy dog.

Although the group was split on how to do it (Ivo suggested “poison, dog flavored”), calmer heads prevailed.

The group led the dog astray. According to Xiao's medical training, Pancake the Pekingese had strep throat. They gave the dog to Ivo, the only one with both ‘a working understanding of the local language’ and ‘any money’ . He bought the medicine fine, and was coming around the corner when he heard a pistol leave its holster.

“Hello Mr. Kochek. Put the dog down. You and I are going to take a little trip to Geneva.”

Turns out being a smuggler wasn't all fun and games. Especially not to Maja Małgorzo, Inspector of the League of Nations police force!

Ivo put the dog down… and sprinted in the other direction! The inspector fired, which alerted the rest of the team, who effected a rescue, tripping up the detective with debris before pulling Ivo onto a nearby rooftop.

Pancake was fine.
***
The case continued across the Black Sea, eventually leading to Istanbul, and former ZSS member Prof. Hemet Hazoul. He pointed the players towards the malefactor behind everything, the urbane and charming Baron Korga! Not a charming aristocrat, he was actually a Hungarian mercenary who had profiteered off the Russian Civil War.

The group used that fact to their advantage, drawing his remaining soldiers off his private island and into a red Russian ambush.

The players faked their way onto the island and into Castle Korga. The trick nearly worked, until Ulyana got involved. Decades in Korga’s employ had divided her loyalties. She might’ve been convinced to leave peacefully, until she found out not only was her girlfriend alive… JP intended to marry her!

(Korga, ever a gentleman, had the servants move the table aside before engaging in gunplay.)

This battle did not go our heroes’ way. Ulyana, filled with rage, pinned JP to the floor. The Baron, strolling to cover, slashed a massive hole in Ivo. Thaza was busy with Korga’s second in command, and Xiao Yun was outnumbered by the Baron’s deathless automatons. It was time to retreat!

The group barely escaped with their lives, closing the portcullis, finding an old goat trail, and taking it down to the sea. Choking on gas, they had barely laid a scratch on their opponents. Who knew their identities.

Then again, any ambush on a remote island in the Aegean you can walk away from…

Lion’s Pride, worldwide
“Hey Jasper,” said Ivo, surveying last night’s damage, “I have a molotov cocktail, may I just leave it in the cloakroom?”

A good kid sidekick is a dangerous thing (as you’ll see at the end of this adventure). This time, ‘Big Bucks’ Devika Velyapur was joined by her staff, detective JP Diamond, advertiser/brawler Bonnie Tuttle, and smuggler Ivan “Ivo” Kochev. The group was in the Motor City, checking in on a paramour of Bonnie’s, Jasper Crocus (last seen in Château of the Colossus). He owned a jazz club in the heavily redlined Black Bottom neighborhood, and some recent mysterious deaths were being blamed on African Americans in aggregate.

In fact, the club was firebombed by the Black Legion (who in this case were an anti-black legion of white people).

The ZSS, in this configuration, is a well-oiled mystery-solving machine. But as they dug up dirt on the black and white sides of town, the puzzle pieces didn't fit together. Allegedly, a one-eyed red devil called the Nain Rouge was terrorizing white transgressors. And there were a lot of transgressors; the local Klan was not hurting for membership. But was it an actual mystical devil, or a vigilante? And what did the ‘Lion Cleaning Service’ have to do with it?

(Unlike the adults, Devi saw plenty of time to have fun while solving crimes. A fact-finding mission to the local roller rink was a perfect opportunity to find leads, by showing up the best skater in the place. The fact the skater was the daughter of an important local figure was part of Devi’s methodology, not just a lucky coincidence. And the trip to the newspaper to place ads and borrow fabric samples? That was… a chance to talk to the crime reporters. And of course, there’s no better place to talk to witnesses than the best soul food restaurants in town. Hurray for expense accounts!)

The investigators got the better of the hooded klowns, and finally got the drop on the Nain Rouge. Bonnie, instead of chasing the fleeing figure, decided to taunt him. She wove together carney insults, case facts, and some choice swear words until he all but led the players back to Jasper‘s jazz club.

Turns out Nain was Jasper's cousin, a mechanical engineer who had made a variety of powerful technological weapons. The group was willing to cover for him protecting the block, but JP saw terrible things in the Great War, and despite Devi’s protestations, smashed all the equipment. Bad news for Big Bucks. It was one thing for the group to disagree. But it made the girl furious to have an employee defy her in front of a paying client.

The case continued, with the out-of-towners learning the lion kult was holed up in the world's largest Masonic Lodge. Since none of their colleagues spoke French, Devi and JP were able to argue during an elevator ride.

“I think, Miss Velyapur, I saw some things in the war that you simply can't fathom.”
“You know what I saw? It was my name cosigning for your house.”

Before the argument could go any further, the elevator opened. The heads of the konspiracy were trying to pull a lion from the Gardens of Paradise into Detroit. Bonnie took names and not prisoners, smashing through the hooded Legionaires. JP absorbed a burst of machine gun fire to little effect, barely bleeding due to his deathless physiology. This rattled the main Heavy, especially when Ivo convinced him that magic had made everyone in the group bulletproof!

Normally, kid mystic Devika would use her psychic powers and melt the brains of the conspirators. But they seemed mystically attuned and effortlessly powerful. so she looked through the dimensional portal… and mentally dominated the lion! Being a creature of paradise, it was happy to comply… But its mood turned when it went from mythology to Motown. Freed from Eden, the lion resorted to its base nature… turning the villainous racists into kuisine.

Their opposition defeated, the group tabled its intrapersonal drama and came up with a childlike plan. Leave the lion in the room, lock the door, and use their press contacts to blame everything on the dead racists. Some things require an international detective agency. Some are really more a job for Animal Control.
 

In the Year 2000 / Saint Andre’s Fire (based on A Matter of Trust)^
Captain Ivanova smirked. “I’m going to put your name on a stone, with today as one of the numbers.”

In the first part of today’s session, the players found a portal to the future in the tomb of Konshu from the Uncanny Curse of Sekhmet. They stumbled into Sky City Seven, a retro-futuristic paradise. But tinpot tyrants are the same anywhen, and this one (Dr. Heliopolis) fell to the savage insults of Captain Ivanova and the angry sword of Xiao Yun. Too bad nobody used their pistol: it would've been a blast from the past.

***
Back in 1935, Devi was peeved about the disobedience in Detroit. So she sent JP two "helpful" assistants: Thaza O'Rourke and the Yale Navy man, Duke Van Der Pol. But they turned out to be perfect complements. Duke used his charm to find a client, Phillipe St Andre. Thaza rifled through Phillipe’s coat, discovering that he had deep gambling debts. With some more ‘digging’, they found out that he didn't really want his wife rescued: he wanted credible witnesses to say she was a junkie, so he could cut her off from her own Trust! Josiah Patrick Diamond was an ace investigator, easily chasing down each lead. but when it came time to dole out the dollars or get polite introductions, Duke was the one who could do it.

Of course, the square-jawed Yalie needed to be reminded that while he could buy drinks for everyone in a dive bar, it was a great way to have his face remembered. and subtly was the friend of an investigator.

The trail for St. Andre’s wife soon crossed paths with a human trafficker known as the Dauphin. The nocturnal playboy loved women, especially ones with track marks. And while he was naturally suspicious, Thaza’s stealth skills kept the group from being discovered. Instead of being found, they found something distressing: a freshly buried body outside the Dauphin’s mansion. The grave was a useful place to hide though, as Phillipe arrived… picking up his wife and paying off the trafficker!

Our heroic trio followed their client back to his place, snuck in, and confronted him in the kitchen. JP and Thaza, not wanting to combine trespassing and criminal threat, cut carrots very thinly as a means of intimidation. It worked.They got Mme St. Andre to the hospital, and pulled favors in the police department to get the Dauphin’s yard exhumed. But they didn't find one body. They found dozens. Some relatively fresh, some going back decades. Enough corpses to turn their frenemy police sergeant Bart into a bona fide pal.

With that, they had the pull to get Philippe arrested. Case complete! They threw a celebration dinner at their local orphanage. (Loyal readers will remember that this is Devi/Ava's place, the Astor House for Sunkissed Girls.)

After the orphans’ bedtime, the trio headed to the great hall for cognac and repartee. Sadly, before they could get properly soused, their doorway was darkened by the Dauphin! He was out for blood, literally. The predator was preternaturally fast, nearly opening Thaza’s veins before JP lured him into the kitchen. Duke, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, instead found the silver knives and began flinging them. The drunken ferocity of the investigators was more than the leech could take. He tried turning into gaseous form… but was slain when trapped in a jar of garlic.

All this to say: it is wise to have clients pay you in advance.

I ran Granite Mountain Prison from Dungeon magazine #36. It's a jailbreak motif/story.

Insert...


The prison is a wheel and only one person is let out a day as it only revolves 1 degree a day.

Definitely an adventure worth looking into. I was a a player in it years ago, DM sucked but it was a well written module. I give it 5 stars, and I never thought they'd actually infiltrate and entrench. I can't stop laughing one of the players set the wardens desk on fire. Last 3 days Ive been texting him, WTF did you set guys desk on fire? LMFAO....
 

Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme.

Amazing game. Worst session ever.
Oof. I have never had a session go that badly. Anyone familiar with Paranoia? You know how everyone insists on playing idiot zap-style play so you never get out of the briefing room and it’s just 3-4 hours of PCs shooting each other and doing the dumbest things possible because they think it’s LOL random derp funny time? It was that only Monty Python.

The system looks like it’ll sing. But unless the players are willing to give it a proper go, it’s a waste of time. Likely putting this one on the shelf and taking it down when I want a good chuckle and a wistful sigh.
 

Did some DMing today for a party of four players in the Forgotten Realms. They explored an old Elven ruin on the High Moor, battled some Undead and discovered a long-forgotten shrine and some religious relics. They then headed downriver by boat but were attacked from above by Perytons. Finally they ventured into a Fey forest where they were stalked by Displacer Beasts and found an enchanted spring. Overall it was a good session.
 

Unmasking the Skull/Death on the Nile by Kenneth Hite.
Giula dove behind the moldering stuffed animals, the sound of rifle fire splitting the air. “SHOOT! WIN!” said the sign.

The session started with a snack run and ended with someone being punched so hard their heart exploded.

JP and Captain Ivanova were holding a housewarming party at their place in the Treme. Luckily, stuntwoman Lala Santanella helped them race to the store for snacks.

This left Japanese investigator Zelda Saeki with the party’s dimwitted acquaintance Lorna Geary. But the ‘lovelorn bimbo’ routine was just an act. One that hid Geary’s real duty: spying for the Kempeitai! As the daughter of a general, Zelda could be trusted to keep her nose clean and under no circumstances go after ‘Takagi’.

With snacks provided, the shindig was a success. JP answered too many questions from young reporter Candace "Candy Kisses” Kessler. She wanted to know what he knew about the Sinister Skull. Hmmm…

But things can't stay quiet too long in the Crescent City. JP's sister-in-law Alice was kidnapped and taken to Baron Sunday’s, an abandoned amusement park outside of town. Lala found herself by herself when both detectives, Saeki and Diamond, decided they were self-starters who worked best on their own! It turned out The Sinister Skull was letting lesser crime lords pay him for the privilege of participating in the Most Dangerous Game, and Alice was today’s unlucky contestant! And of course, everyone was on their lonesome.

Lorna made contact with Zelda Saeki. After a cryptic conversation, the Japanese detective intuited that the Sinister Skull was Japanese operative Ito Takagi! After his seeming assassination in Hawaii (during Slicin' Sand!), he had his pate scientifically repaired. Once he healed, he requested reassignment to a place where he could hurt America the most. Being a mysterious crimelord was perfect.

JP snuck through another section of the park, nearly getting caught by his nemesi. The twin palookas Mr. Black and Mr. Blue were his physical equal, and they knew it. So instead of delivering a beating on the undying detective, they'd take out their frustrations on the much more vulnerable Zelda.

At the midway, gangster “Two Tone” Brophy was having the time of his life, standing on a booth and taking pot shots. Lala tried to stay out of his way, but couldn't get to his vantage point.

On top of the Ferris wheel, Lorna confronted the Sinister Skull! The Empire was upset with how much attention he had drawn. Causing chaos was fine, but why exactly had he decided to tangle with the world’s greatest detectives? He just laughed and told her to watch the plan.

Below, Brody put his crosshairs on Zelda and pulled the trigger. BLAM! Luckily, the Tokyo-born hipster had been wearing body armor, so she was only bruised and knocked into a pile of sawdust, instead of slain.

Seeing a Japanese citizen in danger, Lorna killed Brophy.

JP was still searching for his sister-in-law, and found her tied to a roller coaster cart! Lala jumped on her stuntbike, using all her focus to race the vehicle, nearly losing her bumper as she hooked it and tried to slow it down.

back on the ground, Black and Blue advanced on Zelda, who was in for a beating. Lorna took aim at them too, until The Skull snapped her rifle over his knee. It was looking dire, until JP tricked the twins into the Hall of Mirrors. They were tough, but they weren’t thinkers. Their numbers advantage backfired.

The Skull, seeing the way things were going, fled the scene. The players rescued Alice. One step closer to ending the Skull’s reign once and for all. With a public identity, it will be easy to make him a public enemy… but they still had to beat feet before Mr. Black and Mr. Blue “solved” the Hall with bullets.

***
Early February in Cairo. Lala and Zelda were joined by millionaire industrialist Raphael Lancaster and the Jade Jaguar himself, lawyer Tácito Uriel Velasco! They had been hired by Yale University and Carter Dudley, miscreant archaeologist (last seen in The Doom of the Lost Library!). Unlike all the other dummies, though, he decided to hire a security team before there was a problem.

Well, the lack of a problem solved itself. Tácito, fighting over the gorgeous and alluring Zita Freund, gave his jacket to a prissy archaeologist. Half an hour later, that archaeologist was found dead, head caved in and chest ripped open, next to romantic hieroglyphics written in his blood. Good thing the Mexican boxer was also a lawyer.

Over at the Mena House hotel, Zita’s father Dr. Freund was stacking bills with his "past life regression" scam. All of Cairo's socialites were eager to pay for his flim-flam, with Lancaster especially spending his way into the good doctor’s affections. It was all fun and games, until a suspicious Tácito tried it… and was summoned into a past life!

[He] “awakens” in ancient Egypt, addressing a crowd of people in priestly robes. The Third Pyramid, brand new and covered with blinding black marble, shines in the background. The crowd looks angry and shouts occasional imprecations in the name of Osiris. Horrible, monstrous, jackal-headed beings in armor hold flails, whips, and knives, keeping the crowd in line. He is the Pharaoh Nemty-em-Saph, who rules as Meren-Ra…
He threatens the crowd with slavery and withdraws to an inner room, where a hauntingly beautiful woman awaits him, wearing a filmy robe and a black mirror hanging from a golden chain around her neck…

Nitocris takes the black dagger from the jackal-priest (who Tácito knows is Anankaresh, the High Priest of Anubis) and cuts herself and the Pharaoh over the left breast. “Your heart’s blood is my heart’s blood,” she intones. “Our hearts are as one; your ba and mine are joined forever.” She smears blood from both wounds onto her fingers, into each wound, and on both their mouths, winding sinuously closer to the target. Her mouth closes on his as he gasps in helpless, sanguinary ecstasy…

Then he awoke.

The group hit the books till they hollered. Turned out Nitocris was a sorceress of uncommon beauty and cruelty. Her brother-husband was killed by the priests of Osiris, for uncovering their sacred rites of immortality (at her bidding). Nitocris used the arts of mummification to make herself immortal.

Tácito had a hunch though, one that saved months of archaeology. In his vision, he could see the area outside the tomb… Which, judging by modern landmarks, meant it would be easy enough to find again!

The expedition moved, digging and uncovering the tomb as the sun set. Carter, who had previously retained the ZSS to uncover an ancient civilization destroyed by carnivorous apes, was more than willing to trust the investigators' weird claims.

Inside, the ruin was fetid. The walls were covered in hundreds of mummified jackal men, staring eyelessly out of every niche and inlet. The Jade Jaguar called on his ancient memories, following them to the room they needed to enter. Unfortunately, millennia of neglect meant the door needed to be repaired before it could be opened.

That's when Anankaresh sent his first mummy. Giulia and Rafe repaired the door as the Mexican boxer and the Japanese shootist dealt with the undead.

The first one wasn't a problem. Neither was the second. The tenth, though, decided to fling itself at the door mechanism, covering the assembly with viscera. Tácito had Dudley translate his jibes into ancient Egyptian, rattling the sorcerer slightly…

And before they could be overrun, the five of them entered the secret room.

Inside, the hidden chamber of the braziers was much like Tácito’s vision, with two exceptions. First, there was an enormous stone sarcophagus in the middle of the room; its cover showed a man in a jackal mask.

The second major change was that the middle wall now showed a painted relief. At the top, Nitocris and Nemty-em-Saph challenged the priests of Osiris and then exchanged their hearts’ blood. Then, the relief depicted a priest stabbing Nemty-em-Saph, Nitocris’ drowning of the feasters in revenge, and then Nitocris consulting with Anankaresh. Nitocris looked into the light of a brazier and seeing Tácito, depicted in 1930s garb but labeled with the cartouche of Menthuophis.

Anankaresh had shown with his ba rising out of his heart and traveling into a mummy; the rest of the relief showed the events of the adventure. The final image was Nitocris walking into the chamber of braziers and flinging herself through the light into Tácito’s body, followed by a gigantic Nitocris looming over many worshipful slaves at the Mena House Hotel!

The party, upon realizing this, did their very best not to go insane. Dudley whimpered as causality and linear time were proven to be nebulous. Lala, international actress, denied the impossible. That painting of her bore no resemblance.

The stone sarcophagus contained Anankaresh’s body. The shocked group used the stone to block the doorway, but when it opened, Anankaresh possessed his own corpse, roaring with fury and strength! He nearly wrang Tacito’s neck, leaving a deep bruise, but the mystic’s strength was also his vulnerability. The group grabbed the mummy, restraining its limbs, shooting at its kneecaps, and setting it on fire. Even so, its punches shattered stone. It reared back to kill Lala… when Tácito put a glowing fist through it.

4000 years prior, Anankaresh's heart exploded from his chest.

Back in 1935, a very faint blood stain appeared below the Jade Jaguar. The mural, which had predicted the victory of the sorceress, was now smashed in rage. All that was left was a gory trip out of the pyramid. And very long showers back at the team’s base.

So my sunday Jackals game -
Last session, Philon had inspired the crowd to do a pitch invasion at the circus and tear apart the popular-but-subversive (and Set-worshipping) foreign charioteer. They'd used magic subtly to let the local boy win... and the Foreigner had realized this...
So, Philon agitates from the stands when the foreigner goes and bares a blade aiming for the local boy's back...
So, this week, a set worshiping member of the pit crew decides to avenge his boss... They kill him, but not before he invokes a curse upon Philon...

The curse? No feeling in his hands.

Philon asks the local priest to remove the curse; keep in mind this is a bronze age setting, and the first symptoms of leprosy are loss of feeling in the hands - and the theory of disease is that it's a catchable curse... But Philon convinces him... there is a condition: conversion to the Luathi Monolatristic faith from his native (and trained) Mekoni pantheonism... He acquieses... but at a caveat - to learn the fulness of the Lutathi faith...

So, we see Philon enteriing the Luathi temple as a new initiate...

The others agree that the best postlogue is to leave them in a quantum state....

So...
since it was only about 2030 (we start at 1930 Pacific), we did Character Gen and a few scenes.. running a shockingly late for us 0130 for the introduction to each other of the PCs.

We have Gordon Morimoto, Chef Handy. From Vault O6 - staff.
Vault dweller John (something-something) III... From Vault O6... Subject/resident.
We have Initiate McConnell of the Brotherhood of Steel...
and we have a survivor ghoul, Larry Sharpe.

Gordon and John share a mission,,, for the vault
McConnel has a mission, too - but it's for the Brotherhood.
Larry is looking for work...

Vault O6 is non-canonical... I've located it in North Albany, Oregon, along US 20 (at that spot, aka N Lyon), under the north-side footings of the Albany-North Albany bridge (near N Lyon and NW Springhill Dr.) It's a Vault-tek built, but privately funded one. (There's a canonical Vault-Tek one east of Salem based upon the TV show news map, but no data on that one.)
Here's the google maps link to where I put it: Google Maps

Being an abnormal vault, their vault suits are distinctive: black with hunter safety orange for the orphrey and piping. (Basically, OSU colors, but brighter orange.)

Syria’s Business!

Penny swept up her winnings. “Sorry boys, I guess backgammon is my game too.” Even if she’d just learned it.

Sometimes a side character thinks they’re the main character.

That's the case with Anizah al-Bedul, the 10 year old pesky sidekick of the group’s pesky sidekick.

In her version of the adventure, a bunch of adults (Sister Helene Ynez, stuntwoman Lala Santinella, Hawaiian gambler Penny An’te, Swedish reporter Oksona Larsson, and 13-year-old millionaire Devika Velyapur) helped secure her mother's archaeological dig in Syria. Anizah, as usual, snuck onto Devi’s plane, then continued along until they got to the site. Apparently there was this Christie woman, an author, whose husband was an archaeologist? Boring.

Anyway, one of the archaeologists was secretly a Nazi, so Anizah snuck on her truck. The only complicating factor was that the reporter, Oksona, had the exact same idea but with a different nazi and a different truck!

The group came up with a scheme to infiltrate the base and rescue her during a desert thunderstorm, and then there was the inevitable lecture. Absolutely not fair.
