==Dalt==
Dalt’s voice cut into the Trump link. "I’ll go now," he said. "Gadget, call me on the ''King Random'' trump and pull me through. I’ll travel with Wrecker and Reggy. Should be fun being back in an Earth-world. I’ll bring in Macsen to back up Rafe. We’ll handle the transfers."

"That helps," Wrecker said. "Hey, can we transfer some gear? TSA gets dicey over water bottles and pen knives. An M82 would get us slung into Gitmo, and if they caught us with lightsabers? We’d end up in kolto tanks at Area 51."

"Or Disneyland," Reggy quipped dryly.

Dalt chuckled. "Sure. What do you need an M82 for?"

Reggy’s face darkened. "Part of the plan is icing a guy. A kiddie pimp. Lisha green-lit us sending him onward. And we might go to Comic-Con and want to be packing."

Wrecker grinned. "Orcs with lightsabers, ya know."

Reggy nodded, then added, "You’ll probably want a trump contact to move the container's contents anyway."

Rafe rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Alright. Pass Dalt through.  I’ll start sorting things out here, getting my group together. See you all soon. Let’s make this ship vanish." 

Moments later Gadget answers a trump call and Prince Dalt of Amber steps through.  Looking around he extends hands to Wrecker and Reggy.  Gets a brief hug from Gadget.  He extends a hand to Lisha who is uncertain at first, then shakes his hand.

Lisha asks, “Are you human like them too?”

Dalt smiles at Lisha, "No. " Turning to the boys, "Wreck, pack your toys.  I'll give them to Macsen and he can give them to us in LA.  Flying first class, of course?”

Reggy nods, “When you hire the best, you fly the best!”  

He nods, “Great, great.”  He looked at the boards, noting the people, nodding his head.  “Good work.  Top notch.  This guy is your target?” Patting a picture.

Reggy says, “Ya, '''''Wolf'' Alverez'''.  West Coast kingpin.  I think if we time it right, now with your help, we bring Rafe here and give him a couple hours to get on the road,  we send Alverez down, then trump to Baltimore. You should be able to catch up to Rafe at the harbor .”

“ya... but... “, Dalt looks over the board.  “You need to have an Alibi?”  He looks it over further.  

“You need another person for transfers.  I've got a guy-girl really; Tesara.  Shes been running around Ang Ri for me since a little after I got there.”

Reggy asks, “Don't know her. Why do we need her?”

Dalt says to Reggy, “To secure your alibi beyond a question of a doubt.  Macsen & Tesara go to Ludus Daltus where Rafe is.  Wrecker, you, and I go to the target in LA, take a car to your shooting perch.  After you point Alvarez out to me you guys return to Gadget in Baltimore over her trump and establish your alibi.  I call Mac and Rafe and bring them to LA.  They take the car and go slip on the boat.  Eventually Macsen brings Rafe's people on board by contacting Tesara at the Ludus.  I take the shot and clean up there.  That puts you and Wrecker in Baltimore with Gadget.  Me in LA.  Rafe and Macsen at sea.  Tesara at my ludus in Ang Ri. 
 
“I join Rafe and Macsen at sea and we sort that out.  We may need Macsen and I onboard to facilitate shadow travel and unloading. I'm pretty good at shadowshaving. We'll take the ship someplace with a good time ratio.....Rasak!  It has a naval facility-Amber Navy.  We can unload the boat there.  I can get people there to sort cash out for Gadget & gold for Rafe later.  After unloading we take the ship back to someplace confusing....Hong Kong would be good.  Its on the Pacific...hmmmm sail it up the Yangtze to Wuhan.  We do that part in a nearby unpopulated shadow, bring it in to Wuhan and abandon it leaving port officials to wake up the crew and ask how the hell they got there.  Hi-jinks ensue. ”

Reggy whistles, “Damn....That's good...”  '''''(Much Higher Warfare for Dalt) '''''

Lisha asks Gadget, “Are these people making sense?”

Gadget says to her, “Remember when I said I was the '''''Apex Predator''''' around here?”  Lisha nods.  Gadget goes on, “Not while Dalt is on planet. I trust his instincts for warfare.”

She says, “I trust you, Gadget.  I'm going to go back to my office and start drinking.  Call me when this all is over.  I'll establish my own alibi.  A good blackout drunk is in order.”

Gadget says, “The band goes on at the Ugly Ferret Saturday at 8pm local time.  That's when we start this dance.”  Lisha leaves shaking her head.

Dalt says, “We good? I know this is your show, Gadget.”

"Its been a lot more then I expected. I knew I would have to get some local criminals out of the way.  In a lot of shadows the Stone Bench Group is run to pieces by gangs.  In most Wart's group, a local gang, was a canker on their careers all the way till tragedy.  They pushed them into addiction, depression, despair, and suicide despite their musical greatness.  I eliminated them almost immediately but group after group filled in the gaps."

Dalt nods, "Nature abhors a vacuum."

"When this syndicate sent an assassin after Wrecker and Reggy it really made cutting off the heads the best way to clear the way for the group.  Its far more then i expected to do."

"Things got out of hand? Ya, that makes you an Amberite alright."
