The Blue & The Grey (Veterans Affairs)

"That's fine, buddy. I didn't want to drive all the way to LA today anyhow."

You stop at a hotel in Santa Ana, with a covered valet parking area that suits your needs quite nicely. The helicopter continues on towards the north, and you are able to make a switch without too much fuss. The second driver takes you all the way to Cal Tech, and Dr. Pauling's office. He calls Dales when you arrive, and in a half hour he comes by to take you back to the Bureau.

"You did a hell of a job. I have no idea who wants this guy, but his story sounds pretty crazy. Maybe someone is worried that he will cause a war panic or something."

The next day, Dales asks you into his office to speak privately. "I'm not sure whether you are up on your scientific mumbo-jumbo, but Pauling is having a field day with your guy. Says he's able to isolate something called 'dee-enn-ay' in Pruitt, and it looks nothing like he's seen anywhere. Spent a night talking to some scientists in England about it. I have no idea what he's talking about, but if he's happy, I'm happy."

You spend the rest of the day catching up on paperwork, and as the two of you are planning to leave, you hear Dales swearing on the phone, slamming the receiver as you pass by his door. He looks like someone ran over his dog.

"They got to the son of a bitch."

Bishop looks up from the desk, tired from the last few days. He is suddenly awake by Dales excitement.

"Who got him boss? The Navy." Bishop will state.

Grabbing his coat "Do we want him back?"
 


"No, not Pruitt. Pauling. He was so excited about his discoveries, he wanted to fly to England last night. But the feds are witholding his visa. They say it is due to his political stance, but I think our veteran is the real reason. It has to be - who knows what kind of stories he had in his mind. Invasions? Cooperation with the Russians?

"They haven't heard the end of this, by a long shot."

[Now, a practical question. This is pretty much the end of the story arc. I was thinking of letting you level up (except for hit points, which we'll leave low :] ) before starting something new. You guys are both awesome players in my book. If you want to go on to chapter 2, are there any sorts of missions/cases you want to work on?]
 

"Damn, I never considered Pauling at risk, go figure. Wish there was someway to help." Bishop will sit back down.

(OOC I have been having a lot of fun. Moving on is cool, so is leveling. Nothing in particular, missions or case, that I want to do. Just having a blast playing! :cool: )
 


Char sheet updated. I took another level of Fast Hero. It felt appropriate after our first (mis)adventure.

I'm enjoying the game, so far. I don't have any "requests" for future missions. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be exciting enough. :)
