Wait, is he trying to get in or out of the country?

Out. He already has the blueprints and is currently on a train that will arrive at Waterloo Station in an hour. From there he'll go by car to Dover, were the damnable Preussian has a "flying contraption" waiting that'll take him out of the country.

[Darvi]

Ah. So he's not going through Belgium then.

Ah. So he's not going through Belgium then.

Well, we don't know that. He might be entering Germany through, aiming for that coveted trope subversion

Also, this was an edit to my post above but I'd thought I'd just post it here so nobody misses it:

So yeah, unless somebody objects to the splitting up plan, I think it would be best to go half each. I volunteer to go with the Dover-headed party.

[Darvi]

Ah, but then we don't know where he's heading for, and splitting the group wouldn't be needed.

Our best bet would be to find the flying apparatus, and either prevent him from getting on it, or hide on it and wait until lift-off to arrest him, when he cannot get away.

[Geen]

Hey, he forgot my action!
Why that little...

[scriver]

Though, as you say, we don't know where the flying machine is. If we split up we can have one group looking for the flying-machine and the other one looking for Junker, possibly tracking him to it if we find him. But yeah, maybe it won't be needed.

On a related note, we do want to capture and present this new flying-contraption-thingie to the King as well, don't we?

[Darvi]

For Science? That would be incredibly gentlemanly.

I volunteer for the aircraft-tracking team, by the way. My ways with words could come in handy if any people in Dover have noticed such a thing.

And straighten my bowtie, properly this time. It's unsightly.

"If words don't work may be bit of Scottish diplomacy (aka throwing a bowling into their face) may help a bit" Wallace says as he smiles a wee bit.

Hey, he forgot my action!
Why that little...

My god. I do apologise. I'll fix that as soon as I am able.

[Geen]

I shall forgive you, knave. But only this one time.

[lawastooshort]

So - while we're waiting for Geen, which I'll have to admit is my fault, can I recap just to make sure I have things right before any updating?

Winston Smith is going to pick up his walking bat stick, whilst von Fersen is going to take the shotgun and any available ammo, whilst considering asking Sir Melville for additional weaponry (I would note the plethora of umbrellas in the room - the keen eyed would also have noted the cane-sword, or is it a sword-cane).

The group will, if possible, send a telegram to possible Calais contacts warning them to be on the lookout for a villainous looking German, which doesn't narrow it down a great deal, in a flying contraption, which does.

The the group will split.

Wellington, appropriately enough, is going to try to meet the Prussian at Waterloo (which suggests the Prussian may arrive late! Sorry.), possibly accompanied by Winston Smith, who is keen on a walk and a cup of tea. They most probably have time to to do both.

Von Fersen, Link, and Wallace are heading to Dover, to interrogate the local populace regarding the possible location of a flying contraption.

Do we have a picture of the man?

He's rumoured to look like this, with an added monocle, but obviously in civilian clothing:

Ah. Since I already put my Swedish mitts on the gun, I'll grab one of the umbrellas as well and leave the sword-stick to someone else of my fellow. Unless nobody make claims on it, of course.

[Darvi]

The plan seems fine to me.

And weapons ain't my style.  You guys can do the killing.

[lawastooshort]

Ah. Since I already put my Swedish mitts on the gun, I'll grab one of the umbrellas as well and leave the sword-stick to someone else of my fellow. Unless nobody make claims on it, of course.

Well, you have been quite deadly with the old umbrella so far.
