Logistics
Okay, we've decided to get out of this bar - which is sure to be ground zero for some horrible assault - and go somewhere else to deal with our various problems.
But questions remain - HOW and WHERE
HOW
We started the run with a pretty good fleet of personal vehicles. Al had a four-seat sports car. Half-pint (somehow still with us) had the obligatory van, and there were also some bikes. No doubt Isaint also has several remote-piloted LAVs and submarines waiting in his Batcave somewhere.
We last had all those vehicles at Rory's. But afraid we actually don't know where they are now.
The move from Rory's to Below (via Kennington station in the LCV) was a GM fast-forward post (post 219).
Then the move from Embankment station to Angels in the West End was another GM fast-forward post (post 496).
Those are both moves that would probably need vehicles,especially with crates and mules and cellos and combat drones...
Not faulting GM fast-forward posts one bit - we'd never get anywhere without them - but at this point should we assume that our vehicles are here at the bar with us?
Maybe we loaded the bikes into the van, then had the car and van autopilot from Kennington to Embankment?
If we can make that assumption, then we are golden on HOW we go somewhere.
WHERE
Isaint asked Torrent for a place to go to ground.
What if he doesn't answer?
What if he is slow to answer - can we just get out of here right now please, and even if it means just driving randomly, so that the local security forces don't drop an FAE on us just to purge the FAB?
Also, do we want to trust what he offers? Are his comms secure? Is he more loyal to us, or his own employer?
Who here has a place in or near London?
I hate to say this, considering the history, but Al does have a place between London and Oxford...
It is totally off the grid, known to no one. Got lots of beer and Nuke-it meals (the steaks are for Spike). More cars, plus a boat, as it is on the Thames.
But the isolation means bad guys will not need to pull punches (not that they ever have). On the other hand, we won't have to worry about innocent bystanders.
Anyway, the plan would be that they never find it (yeah, right).
Just one option.
MORE than happy - yes MORE than happy not to lose another safehouse, so another option more than welcome.
But the most important thing is to move NOW, so if this is what you want then let me know and Al will offer it IC.
