Invasion. Gathering of Heroes (February 1930)

[ghostcat]

As soon has Percy get confirmation about Long going to the USA, he will arrange for one of the constables to get a message to T. Hopefully T will use his contacts to put the docks on alert. Percy thinks a bit and adds a note to remind T of the experimental transatlantic airship services that he has heard about. Personally, seeing the way Long left, Percy thinks they will be too late to catch him. Still if they can find out how he left, they can warn the Yanks.

Meanwhile Percy goes back to questioning the suspects and searching the warehouses. It also occurs to Percy that one of Long's ships is in port and that they have already seen goods been transferred from the warehouse to the ship. Therefore, once he has finish up in the warehouse, he goes to consult with the inspector about the legality of searching the ship. If necessary, he will also involve the local customs. Think it through a bit more, he decides to involves customs anyway. After all, they are the experts at searching ships for hidden contraband.

Having started the process for searching the ship, Percy will find a phone and check in with T. Unless instructed otherwise, Percy will supervise a search of the ship and the questioning of the ships crew.

[sblock=OOC]I wasn't aware that Waller was under armed guard in the underground bunker. I was thinking that Waller and Gunther could simply slip out on the premise of running an errand or something. If we have to sneak out because someone is keeping us locked in, that changes things. Approximately how many people use the bunker at any given time? What time of day is it? How spacious is the bunker? How many exits are there; is it just the one that leads into the warehouse? If we have to sneak out, we'll take the least-used exit and take our time moving through the halls so as not to cause a disturbance. Preferably we would wait for nightfall, as there is less activity then.[/sblock]

"Thank you for seeing us Paulo. I'll get right to the point. This is Alexi Bourkorov and I've worked with him in the past. Remember the Baker Street incident? Anyway, he speaks only Russian and Italian and only a little English. He needs some questions answered. He came to me and I in turn came to you. You willing to help?"

Jasper leans up against the back wall and listens to the man. All he does is constantly listens to his intonation and how things are said to notify Thomas wehther he is lying or not.

Vincent waits for Paulo to respond before turning to Jasper and asking him in Italian "So Alexi, what questions would you like to ask Mr. Fetuchi?"

*In Russian

"Something along the lines of interesting shipments that are coming in, secondly don't ask me to much I am just here to see if this guyu is lying oracts funny about something. You ask whatever questions you want, he is more likely to talk to you because you know the guy." Jasper says letting his eyes wander about as if he were talking about the place they were in.

 

[Felix1459]

"Excuse me Paulo." Vincent turns to Jasper and states in Russian "Funny, I thought you were going to ask the questions and I was going to translate." Vincent gives Jasper a few moments to respond.

London Docks (Percy)
Percy calls T and informs him about the happenings. T tells Percy to remain there until he finds out something, and hangs up the phone.
In the surveys of the ship and the warehouse, Percy finds nothing new. Cargo after cargo of alcohol, beer mainly. The crew only confirms the fact that this was all going to be shipped to USA, and would be get into the country claiming it was car lubricant.
An agent comes to Percy as he finishes the interrogation of the crew. "T wants to speak to you." he claims.

Percy walks to the phone in the warehouse: "Long has gotten away. Don't mind him now, just stop the beer cargo. Our scientists have discovered that the beer is not what it looks. They still can make out what's in those bottles but it's sure not ordinary beer..."
As T was speaking, Percy hears shouting and gunshots outside, and the sound of a ship. He looks by the window, and sees another ship, departing hasty. The policemen are shooting the crew, and shoots back. There are three agents on the ground, apparently shot. As Percy peeks out he sees some sailors fall of board, as they receive shots from the police officers. The ship is moving slowly along the dock line.


Police Station (George Wilkinson)
George returns to the station. Jasper and Vincent are still away. Charleston is there thought, and walks to him. "Well, what have you found?" he asks, taking his cigar out of his mouth.

OOC: You have some facilities here at the station, so you can attempt to make some research over the artifact you found.

Inside the Bunker (Waller)
Gunter and Waller wait a few hours to use the night to cover their tracks. As the move out, Gunther points out "Most of the officers should still be in the tactics room. That'll leave only the door guard to deal with. I think he shifts turns with Karl in about... 10 minutes. Karl is in the tactics rooms, so that'll leave us a few minutes until he reaches the entrance to sneak out."
The group sneaks to the entrance, apparently not lifting any warning. They hear the voices from the tactics room as a far murmur.
Waller peaks through the corridor and spots the guard of the door, half sleep sitting on a chair next to the door. A small clock's alarm breaks the silence, and the slumber of the guard. He mumbles something, stands up and stretches ups. Scratching his bottom he walks down the corridor. Waller and Gunther remain as silent as death, while the guard passes next to them, noticing nothing.
The pair wait a few seconds for the man to walk away, and then rush to the entrance, unlock the door, and walk out, closing the door behind them.

OOC: As you describe your course of action, make some rolls just in case, I might require more, or even start a battle, but if you cover your actions with enough rolls it’ll speed things up.

Fetuchi Club (Jasper and Vincent)
“Well of course Tommy my boy, I'm always willing to help a brother, for a price of course. Ask right away, I'll do my best.” He says and smiles, a smile that leaves so much doubts...

George Wilkinson 25/36

Upon returning to the station, George shows the note written in Russian, the address of the box, and the device in the box to both Dr. Charleston and the police. He hopes that someone there can translate the note and that someone can shed light on the address.

At finding that the police station has a small lab, George asks Dr. Charleston if he would like to assist in finding out what the device is. Either way, George will take the unit to the lab and using every caution, he will open the device and try to figure out what it does.

*In Russian

"I trust you on this. Now you might want to start talking with him before he decides that he doesn't want to answer a question." Jasper responds to Vincent not really changing his facial features at all but looking at the man sitting at the table.
