Alex has been making calls all week, calling his mothers family asking for their help, making the calls to make this monster of his breathe.
" Ok...I've called the wall, they'll grant us free passage...good" he mutters to himself.
He packs his gear, including a set of his old army uniform, to look the part, if needed. then comes this bigger things....He pack the prototype of the dragonkiller the 600 nitro express rifle he's been working on, promising his first working model to his 'family' in germany, for their assistance.
He packs the rilfe, and a set of 3 cylinders for it, freshly machined, then turns to the other things, the clothes, the trauma bandages, etc, etc, etc.
He looks at the itinerary for the flight. Atlanta to frankfurt, non-stop, pick up 2 SUVs at frankfurt, then a trip to Cologne, cash n' carry the book, when Fetch locks to it, and go home. apply the right MIL-TRANs labels to it, and voila, the gear doesn't get screwed with.
He sends a message to both Fetch and chad. " FM Ready for step-off' is the simple message. now, he's waiting on the rest of this nightmare.

Jonas, still trying to put together the ramifications of his trip to Lonely Mountain, sits at his computer in the study. He has made a couple purchases for the trip...language tapes, lodging plans at some bed and breakfasts, leisure plans, some non-touristy Winterkleider (high class and urban wear) for the pack. For all intents and purposes, a well deserved vacation for the Ebon Storm. "Must find some time to hit the Wiesbaden casinos..." Jonas muses to himself.
After he's sent all the travel information to the pack, Jonas sends one last message to Firecracker Mechanic, "Ebon Sturm steht für Entwicklungaufträge bereit."

After he's sent all the travel information to the pack, Jonas sends one last message to Firecracker Mechanic, "Ebon Sturm steht für Entwicklungaufträge bereit." Alex locks the cases, and stacks them near the door out, doing all his usual pre-flight things, then racks out, after placing his uniform on a chair. ---- Once I fell alseep, the story replays itself, Miami, August 22nd, 2005... I hold my 50 cal rifle, thinking I'm seeing things in the dark of the switch yard, getting flashes of shadows through the 20 power scope, Reiko, next to me, her m4 sitting in front of her, the kinfolk defending the garou, for a change; then again I swore that I'd protect her the rest of my life. Then comes the flash, the shot landing inside of my alpha. " Knight 5 to knight 6, sniper...I'm engaging..." I call out, shifting my weapon to where i saw the flash, trying to silence this monster who thinks he's able to play god on my battlefield. All I needed to do, was wait, and trade shots, He'd go after his first shot...What I didn't know is the snipers had gotten my position, a stray flash showed me and Reiko, and the sniper lined up on her, not my alpha, not me. I saw him fire, and pulled the trigger, in response, before the flash of a transformer flashing as it died hiding the fact that Reiko died from the shot, then round hitting her head,and ending her life in a moment. I got the order to fall back, to run, as my alpha pulled away the rest from me, the radiation bane having ended our attempt in clearing the field; I tapped Reiko on the shoulder, then noticed the blood, and lifted her up and carried her off. I hear the alarm clock go off, and slam it into the top of the cardboard nightstand, trying to claw my way from the dark dream of the first dance with the night that never ends. --- Alex got out of the shower, and put his dog tags on, the wedding ring on the short chain, and got into his uniform; He can fall apart on the way to Germany, or the way to Dallas, just not now...the war machine needed to run. He took a long moment, saying his prayers to both city mother, and crashing boom boom, for their protection, and victory without bloodshed. He called Fetch with a simple statement. " Well, Riley...show time."

Chad when will you be back in town on Sunday. Also, Thursday wont work because hat is going to be our council meeting before the first game session back ( I think). Unfortunately the only good day during the week that seems to be good is Monday because I know everyone has prior commitments during the rest of the week. So in short Matt and i will talk some more and see what we can come up with.

So in short Matt and i will talk some more and see what we can come up with. well, we could very easily do our meeting afterward on Thursday, which will probably be a debriefing anyway. there are a couple other things I need to get squared away, ie Lonely Mountain. I don't think there are any other things the council needs to discuss since last time. there hasn't been a game between meetings, so unless there is new business (there isn't from me), there won't be much to talk about.

Okay Chad Thursday could be a possibility.
Will, I was refering to during the week because I know you guys have your NWOD narrator meeting some time that week and I know other people have other commitments during the week as well. I'm just trying to find a day or night when we can get everybody together that is convenient so we can have some fun.

We will be meeting at my house. Like in the past we are making it a pot luck for those who attend you are more than welcome to bring food and drink and we should have one "hell" of a time in the old world.
