Pics of the Israeli Sector space port, the train into the Russian Enclave, and surrounding country side would be nice too. I'm working on a poster for Anna)<br><br> |

| |
| − | '''Nika:''' Let's backburner that thought for just a moment. If only because while Badger is not in the best graces of the people that I would prefer to keep taking cargo from if I have the option, he's not necessarily a person I'm particularly concerned about staying in good graces with. However, that said, I don't want to hand over a bunch of sex drugs over to a lady who's essentially imprisoned people.<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' But that's the beauty of the plan, right? That somehow through crazy antics—<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' No. No abseiling!<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' Through crazy antics we managed to get her family out AND get the cargo back? And even if we don't get the cargo back, if we screw Badger, then I'm not going to lo—<br>
| |
| − | '''Rina:''' And that's where the fake box of cargo comes in. If she delivers it, she'll be exposed as a fraud. And we, having the real cargo, come through.<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' It's like one of those Cortex films. Like … four, five fake boxes where nobody knows which one is the real one and there's crazy music playing in the background like yakkety-sacks …<br><br>

| − | Okay, okay, Whoa. Cool your jets, Joshua.<br><br>

| |
| − | '''Kiera:''' Did you actually, like, ''breathe'' at any point or did your brain lock up due to lack of oxygen?<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' Lack of oxygen. (gleefully) I am having the ''most'' fun. We should come to the Russian Enclave more often.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' You know, as ridiculously stupid as it may sound, it might actually work.<br>
| |

| |

| − | '''Arden:''' Really?<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' I am so on board with this.<br>
| |
| − | '''Joshua:''' If there's one thing I've learned, it doesn't matter what the plan is. All that matters is that we pick one and get on board with it. It's all going to fall apart. So we might as well pick one, roll with it, and then go. Hopefully … there will be abseiling.<br>
| |
| − | '''Nika:''' Okay, okay. Stop! We got the fake box part. What about the family part? We've got to get your brother from the tower, and we've got to get your parents and also another brother out of the main part of the Kremlin.<br><br>

| |
| − | True. The mood around the table goes serious again. What does Nikolai do, Joshua asks? He's a singer. And right now he's in the Tower for … what, exactly? Nameless crime? Sedition? Rina says he might have snarked off during one of his concerts—he's known for the smartass comment in public, poking at convention. Or maybe he was actually raising sedition, who knows? Regardless of the crime that put him there, he's in the Tower and we have to find a way to get him out.<br><br>

| |
| − | Nika asks the brothers if there is a way for family members to visit people there. No, none. Damn. That had been Rina's plan, to somehow visit and pull off the jailbreak from the inside. Well, how about her parents? They're already inside the Kremlin. Could they get access? No, else they'd have done it already. Nobody sees the prisoners once they're incarcerated but sometimes waves are allowed. If the prisoner is not under any restrictions, then they are free to wave back.<br><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Could someone on the outside request to visit guests of the Kremlin on the inside. Could Rina just ask to see her parents and get in that way? No. Anna is not in the practice of taking in riff-raff who show up at the door. <br><br>
