‘Dead Letter’ 1997 playtest logs: Session 4

Previously:

Dee : There’s another one.
SGlancy12 : Welcome gentlemen.
Dee : Is Lundquist still expected?
SGlancy12 : Yes.
Dee : Cool.
Black : it’s that time change today
SGlancy12 : Let me just say that because of your playtest, “Dead Letter” went
through a serious re-write
Dee :
SGlancy12 : It’s 100% better for your efforts.
Dee : Glad to hear it!
Black : I forgot about until I turn on my computer to set the clocks back
Dee : Scott, how many DG scenarios have you run? I’m curious.
SGlancy12 : Online? Or off?
Dee : I’ve run… oh, less than half a dozen so far.
Dee : Either/or. I’ve never run a Cthulhu game online, myself.
SGlancy12 : I’ve only run . . . two.
SGlancy12 : It aint easy finding players these days.
Dee : Heh, yeah. I’ve moved around a good deal, but I’ve been lucky in
finding players willing to
Dee : go along with my personal interests.
SGlancy12 : Do you guys have any questions about the scenario before we start?
Dee : Well, let’s see. Obviously, I didn’t send any requests this
time, mostly because it seems
Dee : like things are about to shift from my character’s field
(spywork) to the more standard FBI
Dee : investigation.
Dee : At least, that’s if we want to run with the kidnapping angle.
Dee : I.e., use that to get in overtly, in a raid, instead of trying to
get in covertly, using
Dee : informants or plain-old BS.
Dee : That’ll be our first decision to make once Lundquist gets here, I
suppose.
Dee : I guess the smart way to play it would be to try to establish
contact with somebody inside
Dee : first, and do what covert snooping we can do.
Dee : Then use that information when we decide to launch the full-on
raid with warrants and extra
Dee : agents.
SGlancy12 : Lundquist said he’d be here, but he may be having time change
troubles.
Dee : OKay.
SGlancy12 : The nearest federal judge is in Helena Montana.
Dee : Does that all make sense, Black?
Black : sorry I was reading over last game sessions log
Dee : BTW, Scott, were you logging any of these sessions for posterity?
🙂
Dee : Or were you, Black?
Black : I have the first two one here and back at home. Scott emailed me
the third session
SGlancy12 : I’m logging them. Its on right now.
Dee : Cool, I’d like to get copies sometime if possible.
Dee : But to the business at hand… Doing an official kidnapping
investigation would
Dee : obviously tip them off and make any covert investigation all but
impossible.
Dee : So, we need to do that only after we get what we want to get
through less formal methods.
Black : so quick questions: have you established any contact with any one
inside
Black : two: you did find the person who sent the package, is that correct?
Dee : We have only contacted the one we got into Witness Protection,
Crystal-something.
SGlancy12 : Lynne Crystal Stone.
Dee : We know who sent the packages, yes. Dr. Crisp. He had contacts
with Fiona Lin Wei when
Dee : they were both students in Berkeley.
Dee : Right.
Dee : So, it might be possible to use a coworker of Lynne Crystal Stone
to deliver a message to
Dee : Crisp, encouraging him to meet with us.
Dee : Then we could possibly use him to gain access to the facility in
some way.
Dee : Though, heh, I would prefer it if we had the HRT waiting in the
wings just in case the
Dee : Mission Impossible action turns to crap.
Dee : But we’d need some kind of official justification for the
investigation then, so…
Black : have you found info on thomas iron shirt?
Black : correction have you found thomas?
Dee : Iron Shirt and his friend both disappeared after attempting to
burglarize the ABC facility.
Dee : Several security personnel at the facility were reassigned on
short notice afterward as well
Black : great, that doesn’t sound good
Dee : We requested a check on one or two of those security personnel,
to see if they are indeed
Dee : where they are supposed to be.
SGlancy12 : They are.
Dee : Sp. Agent Drake said he would arrange that.
Dee : Ah, okay.
Dee : So, that’s less sinister than it could be. But we still don’t
have an explanation for the
Dee : burglars’ disappearance. Which will likely be our official
justification for a warrant.
Dee : We’ll just need to make sure Lundquist can fudge the facts enough
to make it look like
Dee : we have sufficiently honest and credible grounds for what we have
found out.
Dee : Or that the judge will be willing to give warrants even if we
don’t.
SGlancy12 : If you can’t swing Probable Cause for Kidnapping, why not
violation EPA regulations?
SGlancy12 : Just because the Blackfeet can set their own EPA regs, doesn’t
mean ABC can cover up a spill
Black : the people that got relocated were sent to Phillidelphia
Dee : They were sent to several locations, I think, including
Philadelphia.
Black : has anyone gone out there to interview them?
SGlancy12 : Philadelphia, Trenton NJ, a cite in West Virginia.
SGlancy12 : Nope. Not yet.
Dee : Not to interview them, only to surveil them.
SGlancy12 : You could arrange for interviews through Justice Dept, but that’ll
increase exposure for DG.
Dee : So, we can probably concoct a fair list of violations of federal
law with which to get search warrants.
SGlancy12 : Yes, actually.
Black : maybe we should interview them to see what they are up to
Dee : Right–we could grab the security personnel who were reassigned
as part of the kidnapping
Dee : investigation.
SGlancy12 : The search warrant must show that there is PC, probable cause to
believe a crim was commited
SGlancy12 : A lower level of PC for a business, higher for private home.
Dee : Another thing is whether or not to coordinate the FBI
investigation with the Army investigation.
Dee : If Lundquist is the one to run the kidnapping/EPA investigation,
he could perhaps
Dee : establish it as a task force with USARMIID.
Black : well, if we go on the premise of a EPA violation then we could use
that angle
Dee : But that would depend on how public we can make the USARMIID’s
investigation of ABC.
SGlancy12 : Or the Army Chemical Weapons Corp, if you need HazMat gear.
Dee : Would disclosure of the Army investigation compromise the real
reason we are involved?
SGlancy12 : It will be hard to explain how the Army is involved.
SGlancy12 : Except as advisors on toxic chemicals.
Black : maybe thomas knew of the spill and they grabbed him to keep him
quiet
Dee : Right, that’s the current theory, Black. Iron Shirt and Low Horn
went in, saw something they
Dee : weren’t supposed to see, and were grabbed by ABC security.
Dee : ‘Advisors,’ heh. A multi-purpose tag.
Dee : That sounds good enough to get us inside, and a good reason to
tell
Dee : non-DG agents to back off if necessary.
Black : Cool. When we were scouting out the plant, was there any drainage
or a river close where
Black : samples could be taking for anaylsis
SGlancy12 : Yes, the Milk river runs outside the perimeter fence.
SGlancy12 : There are drainage pipes from the plant that dump into the river.
Dee : Could be interesting. We could probably get some samples before
launching a raid.
Black : I try to take samples from up and down the river including sample
above and below the
Black : drainage pipe and include samples from the stuff coming out of the
pipe. Include some soil
Black : samples as well
Dee : Yeah, okay. Black and Dee can go together to do some collection.
SGlancy12 : Remember, you guys have just reunited.
Black : may help in the pc territory
SGlancy12 : You now have Steve Wendell NSA eavesdropper with you.
SGlancy12 : He’s a short guy, balding, and wear glasses.
Dee : Oh, that’s right. Hmmm, okay, I need to meet with Wendell
privately for a few minutes.
Black : you called him
Dee : Where are we now, then?
SGlancy12 : Could be a quiet professional version of Geroge Castansa.
Dee : Lundquist and I just took LCS into custody.
Dee : Heh.
Black : well while you conduct that I could get the samples
SGlancy12 : The date is 10/28/97, 5:30 pm.
Dee : Where did we deposit Wendell after picking him up?
Dee : In Great Falls, or did we take him to The Van already?
SGlancy12 : I assume he’s in the RV fiddleing with his spook equipment.
SGlancy12 : The eavesdropper’s equivalent of a demolitions kit.
Dee : Okay. What is the immediate plan for LCS?
Dee : Are we to hand her over to Marshals at some point, or…?
SGlancy12 : She’s sitting in the RV with a duffle bag full of personal items.
Dee : Okay. So, we have the following things running, then:
Dee : (1) Black needs to sneak over and collect river and soil samples.
Dee : (2) I need to talk to Wendell about security, then we figure out
where to put him first.
Dee : (3) We need to see about getting LCS in contact with a friend who
works in ABC,
Dee : who can maybe deliver a note to Dr. Crisp.
Dee : Alternatively to (3), maybe Wendell could do the delivery
electronically.
Dee : Depending on what he says he can do with ABC’s communications.
SGlancy12 : “Just get me within line-of sight,” he says.
Dee : It’s 5:30 pm now. Black, you should do your job well after
nightfall, I think.
Dee : Otherwise there’ll be too much risk of discovery and
interference.
Black : i agree with that
Dee : In fact we can plan for two tasks for this evening: the samples,
and getting Wendell set up.
Black : i need a raft
SGlancy12 : Okay. Since you all need to go to the same place, why don’t Black
Wendell & Dee go out to
SGlancy12 : the plant.
Dee : Okay, so first I tell Lynne to sit tight. Then I approach
Wendell. “Time for a briefing.”
SGlancy12 : Lundquist can work on the warrant application with Lynne as the
witness.
Dee : Right.
Black : how deep is the river?
SGlancy12 : It ranges to 10 feet deep in some places.
SGlancy12 : “Okay” says Wendell, “what’s the op?”
Dee : I ask Wendell to follow me, where we can speak privately.
SGlancy12 : He follows.
Dee : “Welcome aboard,” I say. “Now, odds are you’ll be told little
about this operation. We have
Dee : a task or two that we’ll need your help on, but the results and
the operation itself
Dee : are classified. Is that going to be a problem?”
SGlancy12 : “Never is.”
Dee : “Good. We have plenty of information you can look over about the
target.
Dee : “It’s a high-tech, high-security industrial facility on the local
reservation.”
Dee : “Physical security is tight. We need you to inspect their
electronic and communications
Dee : security.”
SGlancy12 : “Any connection with the Intelligence Community?”
Dee : “Not that we’ve discovered.”
OnlineHost: Lundquist has entered the room.
SGlancy12 : “Are the phone lines land lines or Microwave? Sattilites?
SGlancy12 : Howdy Lundquist!
SGlancy12 : We’re just about to go spy on ABC.
Lundquist : Hey, everybody… Sorry I’m late. It’s a rainy Sunday afternoon
and all the #’s are perpetually busy!
Dee : Heh, welcome!
Lundquist : I finally have had to connect at 2400 baud… Feels like the old
days…
Dee : Scott, in our surveillance did we see satellite dishes?
SGlancy12 : Yes.
Dee : “Land and satellite, definitely.”
SGlancy12 : “Good” says Wendel, “that’s even easier to get at than land
lines.”
Dee : Blah.
SGlancy12 : You guys want to fill Lundquist in on the basic plan?
Dee : “Outstanding. We have two individuals inside the facility who
we’ll want to target once
Dee : we get a preliminary report of their communications systems.”
Dee : “You said you need line-of-sight. The facility is rural, with no
structures around.”
Dee : “Only power sources will be those we bring.”
Dee : “Will that be a problem?”
SGlancy12 : “Nope.”
Dee : (Lundquist, I’m briefing Wendell, non-DG black op from the NSA, on
his role in the operation.)
Lundquist : OK.
Black : Lundquist, I going to get soil samples while our spook, wendel is
going to do some easgropping
Dee : “Good. Let’s get back inside, then. I’ll supply you with what
information we have on the
SGlancy12 : “But we may have to change the batteries after 48 hours. This
stuff is small & portable, but
Lundquist : Sounds good. I’ll be interested in hearing what Wendel turns up.
Black : We also are trying to see if we could get a messenge inside the
plant
Dee : facility. Take a few hours to get familiar and make your plans.”
SGlancy12 : it’s not perfect. Limited battery life is the #1 drawback.”
Dee : “All right. Give me a list of what you need–extra batteries,
chargers, whatever.”
Dee : “We’ll want access to voice and electronic communications, if
possible.”
Dee : “And that should give you plenty to go on for now. Good enough?”
SGlancy12 : “I’ve got extras, but if we leave the equipment on remote, we’ll
need to return to change
SGlancy12 : the batteries.”
SGlancy12 : “Good enough.”
Dee : “That shouldn’t be a problem, as long as we know the schedule to
follow.”
Dee : We head back into the RV. I sit him at the dinner table with our
ABC files.
OnlineHost: Lundquist has left the room.
SGlancy12 : Lundquist will catch up.
Dee : Heh, okay.
SGlancy12 : What are you looking for in the ABC files?
Dee : The files are just for his use.
Dee : So he’ll be familiar with the layout and what we’ve learned about
their operations.
OnlineHost: Lundquist has entered the room.
Dee : Not including dog-head stuff. 😉
SGlancy12 : Ah. Good plan.
Dee : Then he can use whatever of that he needs to formulate his ‘plan
of attack’.
Lundquist : Arrgh… Stupid AOL! It keeps knocking me offline. I might not be
of much use today, guys…
Dee : Blah.
Dee : Well, here’s the plan so far, Lundquist.
SGlancy12 : After about an hour, Wendell will announce he’ll need to go to the
site to set up.
Dee : “Good. We’ll head out there tonight. If you don’t have any
other preparations, I suggest
Dee : you get some rest. It’s… 18:30 now, plan on driving in four
hours.”
Dee : My plan at this point is to conduct whatever covert investigation
we can, first.
Dee : That means establishing electronic surveillance and trying to
establish contact with Crisp.
Lundquist : Sounds good. Much better than going in blind.
Dee : We can attempt to contact Crisp in two ways.
Dee : First, Wendell might be able to get into their communications
systems enough for us to
Dee : get a secure phone or electronic contact with him.
Dee : But maybe not.
Dee : If that’s not feasible, then we can try to use Lynne Crystal
Stone.
Lundquist : That would be cool if we can pull it off…
Dee : She has a friend who cleans the residence halls at the facility.
Dee : So we could ask LCS to talk to her friend and ask her friend to
drop a physical
Dee : note in Crisp’s room.
Lundquist : That would also work.
Dee : We could be subtle and tricky with the note to protect Crisp, but
direct immediate contact
Dee : would obviously be better, if it is possible.
Dee : So. Once we contact Crisp, we may be able to get information
from him on what the hell is
Dee : going on.
Dee : He may or may not be able to get us physical access.
Dee : If not, then we can go the overt route to get direct access to
the facility.
Lundquist : Even if he can’t just talking to him will be most valuable, I
think…
Dee : Right–I think he’ll have some interesting things to say, if he
can get him to say them.
Dee : As for the overt route to get into ABC:
Dee : You could establish a task force, FBI, EPA, and Army.
Lundquist : Remember, we can work up a search warrant for the kidnapping of
Thomas Iron Shirt if we want to.
Dee : The official investigation would be that of kidnapping and EPA
violations.
Lundquist : Yeah.
Dee : With the Army personnel (Black and me) to act as advisors
regarding possible
Dee : pathogen or biological hazards.
Black : quick question, do know if crisp reads the newspaper?
Lundquist : (Of course, those EPA violations might not hold up in court due to
the agreement with the tribal govt
Lundquist : …but that’s not our immediate problem).
Dee : Well, a lot of this might get tossed in court, since we are
getting much of our information
Dee : illegally.
Lundquist : Not so much. I think Crystal Stone’s testimony is entirely
admissable.
Dee : The main point of all this is to get us inside where we can find
out what is happening from
Dee : a DG point of view, and then kill what needs killing.
Dee : To put it bluntly.
SGlancy12 : LCS testimony is 100% admissible.
Lundquist : And so far that’s our strongest link… But yes, this is a DG op,
not a legal Federal investigation.
SGlancy12 : Bingo.
Lundquist : We can do what we want! Whoo hoo!
Lundquist :
SGlancy12 : “We can do what we want! Whoo hoo!” Unless you get caught.
Lundquist : Of course we won’t get caught! And if we do, we’ll just deny
everything!
SGlancy12 : Remember that!
Dee : Okay. So much the better, then. But as far as I am concerned,
trials and convictions will
Dee : be icing on the cake. They only matter after we do what DG is
here to do.
Lundquist : Sorry, I’m a lawyer… I always think about trials & convictions.

Black : I got a idea, does crisp read the newspaper
Dee : Newspaper–I have no idea.
Dee : We don’t know much about what mail gets inside the facility, or
how.
Black : because we could use it to communicate with him
Dee : Heh, yeah.
Lundquist : Is there a newspaper subscription in Crisp’s name?
Black : If we establish contact we could use the classifies
Black : to communicate cryptly
Dee : I doubt Crisp is getting any mail officially here. He is
supposed to be in Philly.
Dee : I expect any mail he gets is routed internally.
SGlancy12 : If the mail is being forwarded, it’s not being done by the US post
office.
SGlancy12 : Probably by ABC.
Dee : Right.
Lundquist : Maybe one of us could get a job in ABC’s mail room.
Lundquist : (Sorry, kidding).
Black : i’m sure a newspaper finds its way into the plant
Dee : But, we could possibly get our Postal Inspector friends to see
what kind of mail goes to
Dee : Crisp in Philedelphia.
Dee : Would Baldwin have that kind of information available to him?
SGlancy12 : Yep.
Lundquist : But would Crisp even read the classifieds?
SGlancy12 : No garantee.
Dee : Yeah, no telling what Crisp would read.
Lundquist : Maybe we could mail him a copy of the Ecotopian with a message in
it… Like that wouldn’t attract
Lundquist : the attention of corporate “watchers”…
Black : so if we send a message to him it could be use the newspaper as a
form to commincate
Dee : That’s an option.
Black : if our spook can send a message to him we could direct him to read
the paper
Black : as a easier way to establish contact
Black : its just an idea
Dee : Hmmm. Maybe, “Check tomorrow’s classifieds. Love, an admirer.”
SGlancy12 : Actually US post office doesn’t deliver the paper, the newspaper
does that themselves.
SGlancy12 : There’s no way to know if he takes the paper unless someone checks
his Philli address.
SGlancy12 : or his dormitory at ABC.
Dee : Then we take out the ad: Somebody matching Fiona Lin Wei’s
description will be at
Dee : the PO box he secretly used, 6 pm on xx/xx/97.
Dee : Well, if we can get Lynne’s friend on the phone we can find that
out.
Dee : We can ask her to tell her friend that it’s a personal
favor–like, she secretly has a crush
Dee : on Crisp or something?
SGlancy12 : Lynne can tell you she’d better speak to her friend, Shelly, in
person.
Dee : Oh yeah, definitely.
SGlancy12 : The phone isn’t in character.
Black : Or we just recieved your talking heads cd and are confused with the
lyrics
Dee : Oh, I see what you mean.
Dee : That’s fine, too. Long as we watch her security.
Lundquist : Heh heh… Talking Heads cd.
Black : or fiona is confused with the lyrics
Dee :
Dee : Well, let’s decide this: do we want to take this route, using
LCS’ friend, before we see
Dee : what Wendell can do?
Dee : Or should we get him out there tonight and get his preliminary
report first?
Lundquist : I’d say let’s go… Time’s a wasting, as they say. What do you
think, Black?
OnlineHost: Lundquist has left the room.
SGlancy12 : Poor Lundquist.
Dee : Poor Lundquist, yeah.
SGlancy12 : At least he got his vote in.
Dee : Well, Col. Black?
Black : lets get wendell out to do his thing
SGlancy12 : Okay. How to you take him out there.
Dee : Okay. We’ll sit tight, then, until it’s past midnight.
Dee : Then we can bundle into the Explorer: Black, Dee, and Wendell.
Dee : With Black’s sample gear and Wendell’s electronics.
Black : yeah, i need to get the samples as well
Dee : I take one safe-case–the one with the gear by H&K.
Black : after we get the info from the samples and wendell then be could
try for contact
Dee : Lundquist can stay at the RV to watch Lynne.
Dee : Right.
SGlancy12 : okay, do you send Lundquist/Kieth out with LCS to her friend
Shelly?
SGlancy12 : (hang on a second)
Dee : Not yet. We’ll set Wendell up first, see what he has to say.
Then tomorrow we can
Dee : get Lynne to contact Shelly.
Dee : If necessary.
Black : i agree
Black : well, i to take samples for several spots on the river and
including the pipe
SGlancy12 : (I’m Back)
OnlineHost: Lundquist has entered the room.
Lundquist : And I’m back again.
Dee : (Damn junk mail. About every 20 minutes, “you’ve got mail!”)
Black : I wouldn’t hurt to take soil samples as well
Dee : Cool.
SGlancy12 : Okay. Off to ABC. Are you using the same route as last time?
Dee : Is there another route that would be feasible and as secure?
Dee : I.e., not within sight of any buildings?
SGlancy12 : Well, you could try driving across country. Having hiked it once
before you might manage not
SGlancy12 : to break an axel.
Dee : Umm. Nah, I’d rather stay on the road.
Lundquist : Guys, I’m afraid I’m going to have to bag it for today’s session…
The only number that isn’t busy
Lundquist : is this 2400 number, and it keeps knocking me offline. This is
just too disjointed.
Lundquist : Scott, do you anticipate finishing the adventure this session, or
were you going to do another one?
SGlancy12 : One more session.
Dee : Bummer, Lundquist. 🙁
Lundquist : OK… Next week for that one?
SGlancy12 : Yes.
SGlancy12 : Same time & channel.
Lundquist : Good enough. Good luck, guys… Somebody want to email me a
synopsis of what goes on today?
Dee : Sure. I can if Scott’s busy. And I think he’ll have the log,
too.
SGlancy12 : I’ll send you a log.
Lundquist : Cool. 1200 next Sunday. I’m going to stay here as long as I can,
but when AOL knocks me off next
Lundquist : time I’m not going to bother logging back in.
Dee : Okay.
SGlancy12 : Yuck.
Lundquist : Anyway, back to the game…
Lundquist : (And sorry for the intrusion).
Dee : Okay–so, we drive out, same road. I’ll put Wendell in place
first.
Dee : If it is good enough, I’ll take him to the place where we
established our surveillance.
Dee : With the trees for cover.
SGlancy12 : Okay, Dee you get to lug some of Wendell’s equipment.
Dee : Not a problem. I’ll lug most of it, if he has a hard time with
the hike.
SGlancy12 : Wendell sets up, opening brief cases full of equipment and setting
up a smal parabolic dish.
SGlancy12 : He works his ELINT & SIGINT magic . . .
Dee : “How much time will you need here tonight?”
SGlancy12 : A couple of hours. We should get outta here before dawn.
SGlancy12 : Wendell informs you that their electronic security is for shit.
Dee : “All right. I’ll get Black to his job, then. Here’s a phone, if
you need anything.”
Dee : “Outstanding.”
SGlancy12 : Are you two going sneak down to the river on foot.
Black : What do you think Dee?
Dee : I want to drive as close as possible without risking observation.
Dee : To save time.
Dee : Once we’d be more likely to be spotted in the vehicle, then we’ll
hoof it.
SGlancy12 : From where Wendel set up, its easier to walk the whole way. Safer
too.
Dee : Good enough.
SGlancy12 : Okay, lets check those sneak and hide rolls . . .
Dee : Whoohoo! Maybe.
SGlancy12 : And Col. Black will never be a Ninja!
Dee : Hah!
Black : I’m a scientist
SGlancy12 : You blow a sneak rol by falling down a slope in the dark.
Black : that hurt
SGlancy12 : But if anybody inside noticed, they’re not showing.
Dee : “Watch where you step, there, Colonel! Careful.”
SGlancy12 : It would have hurt more but you made your jump roll.
Lundquist : Glad I’m back at the RV for the sneak & hide rolls part…
Dee : Heh.
SGlancy12 : Okay. Down by the river . . . Where do you draw your samples?
Black : well, I think I should take samples every quarter of a mile up and
down the river to be on
OnlineHost: Lundquist has left the room.
Black : the safe side
SGlancy12 : Okay.
Black : including taking samples for the pipe and the soil around the pipe
Black : is there any thing nasty coming out of the pipe
SGlancy12 : Yes, dirty looking water that foams.
Black : it take protective measures when I draw that sample
SGlancy12 : Okay. How many water samples, how many water samples?
Black : well I take six soil and water samples from and around the pipe and
two soil and water
SGlancy12 : Okay, now that you’re done. Where to?
Black : samples up and down the river for about two miles up and down for a
total 38 samples
Black : I need to analysis these samples
SGlancy12 : You’ll need to send them out. Once again, Great Falls airport or
Malmstrom AFB can get the
SGlancy12 : samples anywhere in the USA.
SGlancy12 : Are you heading back to Wendell’s position?
Black : Is there a lab around that I might be able to use to analysis the
samples or do I need to
Black : have some one else test them. If not, I send it back to my lab for
analysis
SGlancy12 : There may be a hospital on the USAF base, Malmstrom AFB in Great
Falls.
SGlancy12 : Actually there definitely is a hospital.
SGlancy12 : Your military ID will help you get access.
Dee : Sounds good. Once the samples are all collected, then we hike
back to Wendell’s spot.
SGlancy12 : hey Dee, there’s something moving through the woods with you.
Black : great
Dee : Eh? Hmmm. Any idea how big and how close?
SGlancy12 : Big. Fuckin’ big. And about 20 yards away.
Dee : ‘Fuckin’ big’? That can’t be good.
Black : a truck or car?
Dee : How close are we to Wendell, or to the Explorer?
SGlancy12 : Car.
SGlancy12 : VW sized.
SGlancy12 : You’re about a mile away.
Dee : Oh, it’s a car moving through the woods? Exhaust smell and
engine sounds?
SGlancy12 : No its the size of a car.
Black : any lights?
SGlancy12 : Any LI/IR equipment boys? It’s got no lights.
Black : Not, me.Dee might
Dee : Yeah, I can’t imagine going out without the stuff.
Dee : As we walk I open the bag and bring out the goggles. Ears are
peeled, as it were.
Black : All I got is the scientific gear and my side arm
SGlancy12 : Um, Sam Dee, I just check the equipment list you sent . . . No
LI/IR goggles.
SGlancy12 : Boy it sure is dark in the woods.
Dee : Buh? You’re kidding.
SGlancy12 : And whatever it is, its breathing like a train engin.
SGlancy12 : What now?
Black : How close to river are we
SGlancy12 : About 500 yards.
Dee : One sec… 😛
Black : were is the sound coming from
Black : the woods or near the river
SGlancy12 : They’re between you and Wendell’s position. The River’s behind
you.
Black : there is more than one?
SGlancy12 : No.
SGlancy12 : Apparently.
SGlancy12 : Maybe.
SGlancy12 : You hope.
Black : I move back to the river
SGlancy12 : What about you Dee?
Black : and try to wade as low and quietly across to the other side of the
river
Dee : Back.
SGlancy12 : You’ll end up having to swim at night through a freezing cold,
fast moving river.
SGlancy12 : How’s your swim skill?
Dee : From the sound, does it seem to be pacing us, or gaining on us?
Black : Not to good. Is there an area that looks safe to cross. I wait to
cross to see what Dee is
Black : doing
SGlancy12 : Gaining. Unless you’re moving at a fast walk.
Dee : Hazarding a look back, can I catch a glimpse of it?
SGlancy12 : Yes. Its big. About five feet at the shoulder and walks with a
kind of waddle.
SGlancy12 : It’s still about 20 yards away.
SGlancy12 : Looks like four legs.
Dee : Lord save us from genetically-engineered penguins…
Black : Well, Dee fight or cross the river
Dee : Or dogs.
SGlancy12 : Are you still headed back to the river?
Dee : I step it up to a fast walk, heading back toward the river with
Black.
Black : I think it would be safer
SGlancy12 : Its still coming.
Black : Well, Dee do or die fight or flight?
SGlancy12 : Anyone else daring a look?
Dee : As we walk, I want to be getting the SMG out.
Black : I draw my colt
SGlancy12 : No prob. H&K SSD 9mm with silencer, Colt will be loud though.
Dee : Step up the pace a little more. Does the thing seem to be coming
faster than before?
SGlancy12 : No.
Dee : Same pace as when we first noticed it?
SGlancy12 : Yes.
Dee : But it is the same distance away, following us?
SGlancy12 : Yes.
Black : Well, Dee we have two chocies: try to cross the river or fight it
out
Dee : All right. I’ll walk til we are close to the river, like ten
yards from the water.
SGlancy12 : The river is about 50 yards away now.
Dee : Unless it starts coming faster at some point, or the situation
otherwise changes.
SGlancy12 : It just got about 10 feet tall.
Dee : Is it making angry bear sounds?
Black : I don’t like this
SGlancy12 : Yep.
Dee : Is it making “Coming to eat the silly humans” bear sounds?
SGlancy12 : In fact, now it looks like the biggest damn bear you’ve ever seen.
SGlancy12 : No, but by that last bellow, I’d say it was challenging your
presence in his forrest.
Dee : Cripes. Okay. I keep walking and listening.
SGlancy12 : Which way? Towards the river or parallel to it.
Dee : Parallel. If it wants to kill us in the river, it’s probably a
better swimmer than me.
SGlancy12 : As you move aside, the bear continues past you to the river.
Dee : If possible, I want to walk along the river in a direction toward
the surveillance camp.
Dee : Keep walking, watching…
SGlancy12 : The bear is further and further away. You get back to Wendell
around the time the shift is
SGlancy12 : changing at ABC.
SGlancy12 : “Hey, did you guys hear any bears out there?” Wendell asks.
Dee : “All right, this took longer than I wanted. Wendell, did you
hear the bear from here?”
SGlancy12 : “I heard something.”
SGlancy12 : “It sounded like the bear from that movie,”
Dee : “That answers my question. We need to get out of here, in case
somebody inside gets curious.
Dee : Scott, what time is it now? Is it daylight?
SGlancy12 : Yes. Sun came up 30 minutes ago.
Dee : “Wendell, do you need to leave gear in place here?”
SGlancy12 : “Yes”
Dee : “All right. Let’s conceal it as best we can, then move out.”
SGlancy12 : “You’ll need to change the batteries in 48 hours. That’ll be
10/31/97 at 600 am.
SGlancy12 : Okay you cover the site with camaflage from the area and move out.
Dee : Right, back to the Explorer. I’ll risk the daylight drive, all
things considered.
SGlancy12 : On the hike back you don’t spot anything more suspicious than a
couple of elk.
Dee : Yes, but are they BIG elk…?
SGlancy12 : The Explorer is just where you left it.
SGlancy12 : Big. But not abnormally.
Dee : Heh heh.
Dee : Okay, back to the RV, then.
SGlancy12 : No extra appendages or tentacles.
Dee : And I’ll ask for Wendell’s assessment.
SGlancy12 : The ride back doesn’t appear to be tailed.
SGlancy12 : Wendel says “These guys are chumps. They look like Fort Knox, but
their COMSEC and ELINTSEC is piss poor.
SGlancy12 : Plus, you can bounce a laser off any window in that place and get
a conversation crystal clear.
SGlancy12 : Hell, they don’t even have Tempest to protect their computers.
SGlancy12 : Probably figure they’re safe with an isolated data base.
Dee : “Good. If I give you the name of one of their personnel, can you
locate communications
Dee : going to him?”
SGlancy12 : “No Sweat.”
Black : i grab a nap then off to the hospital to run some tests on the
samples
Dee : “Excellent. The name is Doctor Arnold Crisp” (I think). “We
need to get him on the phone.”
Dee : “Preferably his private phone, if he has one.”
Dee : Okay, we’ll hole up at the RV today, so Black can take the
Explorer to run his tests.
SGlancy12 : “Give me a couple of hours listening to the airwaves and I’ll sort
it out.”
Dee : “Will do.”
Dee : When we get back, I fill in Lundquist. Then we can all get some
rest for a few hours.
SGlancy12 : Black, its a two hour drive to Malmstrom AFB.
Dee : Then Wendell can get to work, and Black can do his tests.
SGlancy12 : Wendell needs shuteye as does Black.
SGlancy12 : You need 6 hours at least.
Dee : Right, everybody should rest at the RV for a while before we get
to work.
Dee : Say, sleep until 2 or 3 pm.
SGlancy12 : Lundquist can stay up. As can LCS, but she wants to know when
she’s going into the Witness
SGlancy12 : protection program.
SGlancy12 : Lundquist keeps telling her “After you testify.”
Dee : Heh heh.
Dee :
SGlancy12 : Lundquist has LCS’s probable cause statement drafted for that
warrant when we need it.
Dee : Ack, before I snooze, I place a call: I want some night vision
goggles!
Dee : Preferably four pair, ASAP.
SGlancy12 : Black can bring some back from the AFB’s security police.
Dee : Cool deal. I snooze more peacefully, then. 😉
SGlancy12 : They have very good security force. Malmstrom is a nuke base.
SGlancy12 : 2pm! Everyone up and at ’em.
SGlancy12 : Black is off to Malmstrom. And you Dee?
Dee : I’m staying put, in the RV with Wendell & Lundquist and Stone.
SGlancy12 : Black, Entry into Malmstrom is easy. The base ME gives you free
run of the facility.
Black : well, then I will try to obtain a lab to run tests on the samples
SGlancy12 : Damn, nice dice rolls. What do you want to know about the samples.
Black : hold on for a minute
SGlancy12 : Holding . . .
Black : the chemical break down of the different samples and the quantity
of the chemicals
Black : plus see if the chemicals can be identified with the data banks
here
Dee : (And the blue shit.)
SGlancy12 : There are a number of waste products associated with
pharmecuticals
Black : compare the levels to see if they are safe or not
SGlancy12 : Some at toxic levels. I wouldn’t fish or drink downstream if I
were you.
SGlancy12 : You’re no EPA expert, but it can’t be legal.
Black : Can I identify the chemicals?
SGlancy12 : There are also waste products that might be associated with
producing the “blue shit”
SGlancy12 : Yes you can identify the chemical waste products.
Black : Using the data bank here I try to run the chemical make up of the
blue goo to see if I can
Black : identify any chemicals involved
SGlancy12 : Again, there are molecules that seem to be related to natural
neuro-transmitters, but some
SGlancy12 : of the molecules are totally new. Never before seen. You’re having
some trouble because its
SGlancy12 : not an wholly organic compound, which is your specialty.
SGlancy12 : Plus you’re trying to identify a compound from its production
waste.
SGlancy12 : Not easy.
Black : I try to find as much as I can, then I will write a report on what
I found. I then take one
Black : set of the findings and ask to store it here at the base and the
other set I take with me
SGlancy12 : And those LI/IR goggles?
Black : to keep them safe. After doing all those testing I will swing by
and pick up the goggles
SGlancy12 : Its about 9pm when you’re done.
SGlancy12 : How many sets do you want?
Black : I call Dee and tell him what I found and to inform Lundquist that
we have a case
Dee : I’d like four sets of goggles. Plus batteries.
Black : Then I start back to the RV
Black : make sure I get that before leaving
Dee : So… 2 pm to 9 pm, what does Wendell turn up?
SGlancy12 : Okey doke. It’s 11pm on 08/28/97 when Black gets back.
SGlancy12 : Wendell has had a field day. He’s got Crisp’s phone #, his email
address and his cell #.
SGlancy12 : He’s also gotten access to a nuber of pass words to the computer
system by monitoring the EM
SGlancy12 : radiation from keyboards.
SGlancy12 : You’ll need to be on-site to access the computer system.
SGlancy12 : He’s also collected about a dozen pass codes from the external
pass-code boxes around the
SGlancy12 : plant.
Dee : “Very interesting. Very interesting.”
SGlancy12 : Plus. He’s found what he thinks is the plant manager’s office.
Dee : “How secure is their e-mail? If we send something to a
particular person, will it be
Dee : intercepted or monitored?”
Dee : I’ll get him to indicate the manager’s office on the maps we
have.
SGlancy12 : He doesn’t know. He hasn’t penetrated the computer system, he’s
just listening in on people
SGlancy12 : using it.
SGlancy12 : He shows you where it is.
SGlancy12 : He thinks we can position a laser to listen in on the office
tonight.
Dee : Is the Crisp phone number that of his cell, or an office or lab?
SGlancy12 : Both. He’s got a cell phone, a phone in the dormatory and a phone
in his lab.
Dee : Is there any way to tell whether their cell phone communications
are being monitored?
SGlancy12 : Wendell says “I’d be able to tell if we called him up, then
checked the signal.”
Dee : “Any reason not to do that?”
SGlancy12 : “Depends. If the signal’s being stepped on, they’ll know someone
called.”
SGlancy12 : “but unles they’ve go Pine Gap down there, they won’t know we’re
there before I find them.”
Dee : “Fair enough. Can we make the call from a pay-phone?”
SGlancy12 : “No reason why not.”
Dee : “Good. Get it set up, then I’ll go make the call.”
SGlancy12 : Where do you make the call from?
Dee : Where’s the RV again?
SGlancy12 : On the outskirts of Browning, West side toward Glacier National
park.
Dee : I’ll take a drive in the Explorer. Drive across town, watch out
for tails.
Black : Is there a vistor center at the park
Dee : Then stop at a corner pay phone. Put in some change, dial the
number.
SGlancy12 : Yes, but its 5 mile away.
SGlancy12 : Would you prefer that. It’s in the small town (glorified visitors
center) of East GlacierPrk
Dee : Scott, did you say it’s late October in the game, as well as in
real-life?
SGlancy12 : No, its August. I wrote 10/28/97, but I meant 08/28/97.
SGlancy12 : Okay, you dial Crisps #. Someone picks up. Male voice “Hello?”
Dee : “Hello, is Darla there?”
Dee : Okay.
SGlancy12 : “What? No, you have a wrong #.”
Dee : “Huh? Darla Smythe. I was sure I had the number. Who’s this?”
SGlancy12 : “This is a private cell phone #, not a residence. You must have
dialed wrong.”
Dee : “Oh, I must have. Sorry about that. You have a good night.”
SGlancy12 : “You too.”
SGlancy12 : He hangs up.
Dee : Hang up, drive around a little more, looking for tails.
SGlancy12 : Wendell calls you, Dee.
SGlancy12 : On your cell phone.
Dee : I answer it while driving.
Dee : “Yes.”
SGlancy12 : “The signal seems clean.”
Dee : “Thanks.” Hit the disconnect button.
Dee : I drive back to the RV.
Dee : All right. We can wait until tomorrow afternoon.
SGlancy12 : Okay, you link up again. Its around 11:00pm when Col. Black gets
back with the LI/IR rigs.
Dee : That will leave him enough time to drive off the property without
attracting attention.
Dee : Though… actually, we ought to discuss it with him tonight, so
he can plan for it.
Dee : Hmmm.
Dee : All right, once Black has returned I’ll compare notes with him.
Dee : Black, any objections to calling Crisp tonight to set up a meet for tomorrow afternoon?
SGlancy12 : What’s the next step? Wendel wants to set up a Laser listening
device on the plant manager.
Black : No, I have no objects
Dee : Yeah, that’s fine. We can do that tonight. All right, I’ll
drive Wendell out to set it up.
Dee : “Do you have the gear to set up a laser on Crisp’s dorm as well?”
SGlancy12 : This trip will take less time. You can be in and out in three
hours.
SGlancy12 : “Yes I do”
Dee : “We’ll do that, then. Once the devices are in place I’ll call
him again.”
Dee : Drive out. I want to stay in the field, though, to make the
call.
SGlancy12 : Okay. Black, Lundquist and LCS. Stay at the RV.
Dee : Can Wendell listen to the lasers on-site, or does he have to be
in the RV?
SGlancy12 : He needs to set them up. But doesn’t have to be there to listen
in.
Dee : But CAN he listen to them there? I want to leave him there to
keep visual watch on the
Dee : facility while we listen to Crisp’s reaction to the phone call.
SGlancy12 : Yes.
SGlancy12 : He won’t like it, though. He’s a city boy.
Dee : Okay, that’s the plan, then. First get Wendell set up. Then
leave him in place.
Dee : I’ll go back to the Explorer. After I make the call, Wendell
should watch to see if
SGlancy12 : “You better leave me a gun! Something that’ll stop a bear!”
Dee : Crisp tries to run for it or otherwise does something unusual.
Dee : “The bear was at the river. You’ll be fine. Unless you plan to
bring a fish dinner.”
SGlancy12 : “I’d still feel better.”
SGlancy12 : “Wouldn’t you?”
Dee : “You’ll be fine. We staked out that location before for a full
day and night.”
SGlancy12 : Wendell looks unhappy but relents.
Dee : “There were no signs of wildlife. The bear won’t be anywhere
nearby.”
Dee : “And I won’t be far away. If you need help, call.”
SGlancy12 : Okay. You two go out to the plant again?
Dee : Right.
SGlancy12 : Okay, Wendell has the listening post set up by 2am.
Dee : Bringing the NVGs this time. 🙂
SGlancy12 : NVGs?
Dee : Okay, first off, listen to Crisp’s dorm.
Dee : Goggles.
Dee : Are there any sounds other than those of a sleeping scientist?
SGlancy12 : Snoring from Crisp’s dorm.
Dee : “Good. Keep listening to that channel. Call me if he does
anything after he hangs up.”
Dee : I’ll fade, back to the car.
SGlancy12 : “Okay, but when are you going to call?”
Dee : “You’ll hear it. Keep quiet.”
Dee : Once I’m in the car I get my phone and call his cell-number
again.
SGlancy12 : Grumble grumble
Dee : Heh heh.
SGlancy12 : Crisp answers “This better be good.”
Dee : “Doctor Crisp. I need to speak with you tomorrow evening
regarding a parcel you sent
Dee : to a Berkeley post office. I encourage you to keep quiet and ask
few questions.”
SGlancy12 : (audible gasp) I’m sorry, what did you say?
Dee : “Come to the Great Falls airport, the American Express ticket
counter.”
SGlancy12 : “Who is this?”
Dee : “I will answer your questions when we meet tomorrow, Dr. Crisp,
rest assured.”
SGlancy12 : “I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. Who are you?!”
SGlancy12 : “If this is a joke its not very funny!”
Dee : “Quiet, Dr. Crisp. Your phone line is secure for now, but I can
offer no guarantees about
Dee : your room. This is no joke. We received a parcel, a biological
parcel displaying highly
Dee : unusual properties. You will be well-served to keep this phone
call to yourself, and to
Dee : meet me tomorrow evening. Alone.”
SGlancy12 : “I still don’t know what you’re talking about. I never sent
anything to anyone!” (He sounds
SGlancy12 : very scared)
Dee : “Doctor Crisp, there are some highly questionable activities
being conducted at your
Dee : facility. You have exposed some of them. You may help in seeing
that such
Dee : perversions are discontinued. I know your position is
precarious, so I offer you this
Dee : chance to meet privately to discuss the situation fully.”
SGlancy12 : “I . . uh, I don’t know. How can I be sure this isn’t a trap.”
Dee : “Who would attempt to trap you, Dr. Crisp? Would your company
bother taking these lengths?”
SGlancy12 : “I don’t know? Maybe . . . I won’t be able to leave until the end
of my shift. Otherwise it
SGlancy12 : it’ll arrouse suspicion.”
Dee : “What time can you be at the airport?”
SGlancy12 : “I can leave here at 4pm. I’ll be at the airport by 6pm.”
Dee : “Very good. Keep this to yourself, doctor. We can discuss it
further tomorrow evening.”
SGlancy12 : “Uh . . . yes. Okay.”
Dee :
SGlancy12 : “Tomorrow at six.”
SGlancy12 : Now what?
Dee : Any news from Wendell?
Dee : Does Crisp go tearing out and fleeing for his life, anything like
that?
SGlancy12 : Wendell can tell you that the signal was not stepped on.
SGlancy12 : No he doesn’t bolt.
SGlancy12 : But is sounds like he’s pacing around.
Dee : Okay. I’ll give it an hour.
SGlancy12 : Wendell calls “Hey! there’s some telephone activity down there!”
Dee : “From Crisp?”
SGlancy12 : “There was just a call from the security office to the plant
manager.
Dee : “Check the laser on the manager’s office.”
SGlancy12 : “He’s in his dorm room. I’m readjusting the laser.”
SGlancy12 : “Seurity just reported to plant manager Turner that their bug just
hit paydirt.”
Dee : “Fuck.”
SGlancy12 : “Crisp’s the mole. Repeat, Crisp is the mole. And he’s got outside
help.”
SGlancy12 : “Who are they?” Asks Turner.
SGlancy12 : “They’re careful, that’s who. But they plan to meet Crisp
somewhere at 6pm tomorow.”
SGlancy12 : “We couldn’t hear the other half of the conversion.”
SGlancy12 : Turner responds “Will he move before then?”
SGlancy12 : “No. I don’t think so.”
SGlancy12 : Turner “Don’t let him off the property. Not until he leaves for
the meeting.
SGlancy12 : Follow the little shit and find out who he meets with.”
SGlancy12 : “Yessir. Sir?”
SGlancy12 : “Will we need to deal with this leak, on a more permanent basis?”
SGlancy12 : “Maybe. Are your men ready for that?”
SGlancy12 : “Oh Yessir.”
SGlancy12 : “Lets try and buy him first. It worked for everyone else.”
SGlancy12 : “If you insist, but, Sir, if he runs for it?”
SGlancy12 : “Do whatever is appropriate for the situation Descheil. I know
you’re reliable.”
SGlancy12 : “Yessir, I understand. Goodnight sir.”
SGlancy12 : “Goodnight”
SGlancy12 : “Well that’s fucked up,” says Wendell.
SGlancy12 : Now what?
Dee : “Sit tight, I’ll come get you. Can we recalibrate the lasers
from the van?”
SGlancy12 : “I’ll let you know if things start hopping.”
Dee : I jog back to Wendell’s position, then escort him to the
Explorer.
Dee : Then back to the RV, since we can listen from the RV.
Dee : If we can listen to both Crisp’s dorm and the manager’s office, I
want to do that.
SGlancy12 : You get to Wendell’s position around 6am.
Black : well, at least we can plan around this problem
SGlancy12 : As you’re hiking out you hear the distinct sound of a helicopter.
Dee : Yeah. We can’t tell how many goons they’ll send unless we keep
surveillance going…
Dee : Hmmmm.
Dee : “Flat on the ground, now!”
SGlancy12 : Wendell throws himself down.
SGlancy12 : The helicopter is a Bell JetRanger. Looks a little bigger than the
usual model. Maybe extra
SGlancy12 : passenders.
SGlancy12 : It’s flying from the south west towards the plant.
Dee : I sit very still and observe.
SGlancy12 : It circles the plant and settles on the helipad.
Dee : Are we still within sight of the plant?
SGlancy12 : You’re at the top of the second ridge leading away. the listening
posts are on the 1st ridge
SGlancy12 : No smog up here, you can see for miles.
Dee : Can I get a view of the helicopter’s activity, then?
Dee : If I have the scope we used in surveillance the other day, I’ll
use that.
SGlancy12 : You can see figures, no faces.
Dee : Okay.
SGlancy12 : The security at the plant has rushed out to the helipad. They have
guard dogs.
SGlancy12 : Looks like they were’nt expecting this.
Dee : Interesting. I keep watching.
SGlancy12 : seven figures get out of the chopper. They seem to be confering.
SGlancy12 : They form up and everyone walks into the plant admin building.
Dee : “Let’s hope the laser on the manager’s office is good enough.
Come on.”
SGlancy12 : “where to?”
Dee : I stay low to the ground, head down the ridge toward the car.
SGlancy12 : You reach the car.
Dee : Can Wendell listen in right now? Before we reach the RV?
SGlancy12 : Black can monitor the listening posts from the RV. So can Wendell.
Dee : I start up and head out of there, while we listen in to see if we
get anything.
SGlancy12 : There’s a conference in progress in Turner’s office, you tune in
while its in progress.
SGlancy12 : Turner ” . . . we effectively contained the spill and took
appropriate steps to clean up the
SGlancy12 : accident. Afterwards we restructured the staff to ensure secrecy.”
SGlancy12 : Man with german accent “Und vat exactly does zat mean?”
SGlancy12 : Turner “We reassigned everyone involved with the cleanup and
repair to other facilities.
Dee : (Say, do we have this stuff recording by chance…?)
SGlancy12 : They were well compensated in order to ensure their silence.”
SGlancy12 : Back at the RV yes.
Dee : (good)
SGlancy12 : MWGA “Zo, vat is holding up production? That was over two months
ago?”
SGlancy12 : Turner: “Well repairs took a little longer than expected and there
were some other security
SGlancy12 : issues to consider.”
SGlancy12 : MWGA: “Such as?”
SGlancy12 : Turner: “We needed to be sure that the people whose silence we
purchased stayed silent.
SGlancy12 : So far they have. We believe it is safe to begin production
again.”
SGlancy12 : MWGA: “Despite your reassurances, my men and I are here to perform
a complete audit of the
SGlancy12 : project. I assume you will be happy to assit us in this, yes?
SGlancy12 : Turner “Why, of course? Why Not? Mr. Deschiel will arrange to give
you free access to the
SGlancy12 : Sapphire prduction unit and will make the staff and records
available to you.”
SGlancy12 : MWGA “Danke. You are most kind. My employer is most anxious to get
this project back on trak
SGlancy12 : Turner: “Oh, it is Mr. Galt. It is.”
SGlancy12 : The meeting begins to break up.
SGlancy12 : Turner asks Deshiel to wait up for a moment.
SGlancy12 : Turner: “Grab that fucking rat Crisp and put him in the security
anex. No! Wait.
SGlancy12 : He’s in Lab 6 now. Send a man to sit on him until I can speak to
him.
SGlancy12 : And tell Metreax to stay in her lab.
SGlancy12 : “I’ll be down to see Crisp in a couple of minutes.”
SGlancy12 : Deschiel: “Gonna give him an offer he can’t refuse?”
SGlancy12 : Turner: “Something like that.”
SGlancy12 : They both leave the office.
Dee : Well.
Dee : I guess it’s too late for the maid-with-a-note bit…
SGlancy12 : Er… yeah.
Dee : Well… good time to call it a day, actually.
SGlancy12 : Time to break for the day.
Dee : We have a few new names to research–Turner, Deschiel, Galt.
SGlancy12 : I’ll see you guys next week. 12 noon?
Black : Fine by me
Dee : Sounds good, yeah. Lots to ponder in the meantime.
SGlancy12 : Good luck . . . . heheheheheheheh
