Marco grabbed some food and listened to Yelena, he was uncertain what she referred to but he nodded his hand and made some small talk as he reluctantly ate the culinary crime that was ironically named  'good food'... but most people could not tell good from bad anyhow.  So the world had more serious problems than over fried poor quality processed soy products.  He fantasized on fresh vegetables, and expensive cheese. Perhaps, once they are safer he can try that Lasagna recipe he got just before he decided to jump off a building...

He said nothing about Sam, not certain how he should break such news to the team - if at all. Yes, Sam was more than an employer to them - but that did not mean that they ought to send him flowers. At the end of the day, they were criminals and he was a federal agent. After you are involved in a rocket fight in a public inhabited place - it was unlikely that federal agents are still your best friends...  Perhaps what happens in Poland stays in Poland - but go figure, at any case he was certain that they should not try to contact that man. They changed so much from their last encounter that Marco was uncertain if they are still on good terms.

Yelena is glad that Blackbird is playing along and moves closer to Arc.  She touches her on the arm and calls her Sliva while motioning her to sit in one of the two chairs available.  This should reinforce to Arc that she is Sliva if Yelena needs to say anything and it should help with the ruse for the sake of the other woman.

While she my not be verbally helpful, Arc could pick up the queues she was given, nodding her head as she went to move.  She kept her stance small, almost shylike, as she went, keeping her gaze open as she gave a thankful tip of her head to Yelena.  Instead of responding, she simply gave a little affirming noise before resuming her meal, awaiting their situation to develop.

The dryer buzzer goes off, signalling that their clothes should be dry..  Yelena goes to check on them and passes them out so that her team can dress warmly for the next stage.  She turns to look at Blackbird.  "Возможно Якоба - Возникли проблемы с автомобилем. Возможно вы должны перейти см. Если существует отель мы можем остановиться в? Необходимо нечто рядом."

[spoiler]Maybe Jakob is having trouble with the car.  Perhaps you should go see if there is a hotel we can stay at?  There must be something near.[/spoiler]

Marco booked an hotel room online in a nearby town, using his burner. Then he nodded at Yelena and went looking for a cache only place to stay in.

The woman had been non-committal in most of her answers to Yelena. But, when Yelena had asked about the post office near the park she had told her that the area had frequent problems with sewage backflow in the winter and to go to the post office just a few miles away.

When they made it to the hotel, a sad affair that had never seen better days, they found they had little to worry about, the lone clerk was watching the trid and muttering angrily about gang wars interrupting business. He let the automated clerk handle their check-in and had only glanced over to leer at Yelena momentarily.

Yelena notices the look from the clerk and ushers the others onto the narrow stairway leading to the second floor rooms then steps closer to the mesh that separates the small office cubicle from the crappy lobby.  She reasons that the man might remember her looks but might forget them if he thinks she is just another working girl using the cheap hotel to service clients.  She gets clerk's attention and says, "Эй, вы хотите некоторые из этого слишком? Я может видеть Вас после я закончить с этими туристов и может быть мы сможем прийти к договоренности?"  The man smiles and nods then turns back to his program, the woman and her clients already forgotten.  Yelena nods and climbs the stair to join her companions.


[spoiler]Hey, you want some of this, too?  I can come see you after I finish with these tourists and maybe we can come to an arrangement?[/spoiler]

Marco gets into the room and makes himself comfortable on one of the beds, he picks up a small brochure to examine local sites... "Winter is a bad time to visit" he concludes but there is a science museum in town. "Anyone wants to accompany me?"

Yelena looks at the beds and is reminded of countless times when she would have been happy for the comforts of a room like this one.  It is all a matter of perspective.  She nods to Blackbird.  "Yelena, maybe go.  Yelena contact can get funds if tell where to go.  Was going to use post office, but seems closed for repairs.  Yelena hanging about would be suspicious.  Science museum is good."  She looks at the brochure and get the address.

>>Virtual Goddess [Wanderer]:  Post office not good choice.  Under repair and Wanderer cannot hang about.  Wanderer use science museum instead.  Must be gift shop.  Wanderer wait at door to shop.  Noon, local time.<<

Yelena returns the brochure to Blackbird and nods.  "Yelena need be museum gift shop at noon.  Meet courier."  She looks at Arc and Jed.  "Srui be safe with PI man.  He speaks language.  Yelena and Blackbird go museum.  Can send drone to keep watch us?  Keep others to watch here.  Patch all feed to 'link so Yelena know if Arc in trouble."

It takes about twenty minutes, but Virtual Goddess replies, >>There is an alleyway behind the museum. Your cred will be in a bright orange trash bag in the dumpster.<<

Yelena smiles at Blackbird.  "We go.  See museum.  Get money. "

She looks at the other two and gives them a thumbs up.  "Rest on comfortable bed.  Get sleep if can.  Yelena and Blackbird back soon."

Since Yelena seemed to have decided that Arc and Jed are to stay in the room, Marco smiles at them and says "I'll bring you a postcard I promise."  He then does a bit of makeup work to disguise Yelena, mask her distinctive tattoos and color her hair to a less distinctive black.
Disguise: 6d6t5 1

It is rudimentary but can provide some basic disguise.  Marco and Yelena wanted to use public transportation to the Museum but the train is closed due to some terrorist attack. So they decided to take a taxi. Marco left his spirits with Arc and Jed to not draw suspicion to the two and to keep the safe house - 'safe'. He was left with 5 bounded spirits F3 spirits - one for each aspect of his personality. Mentors to a way of self discovery.

The taxi was automated without a driver and provided some time to talk, in subvocal Marco said "Sam is alive, was recently rescued."

Yelena turns to face Blackbird. "Is good news if true.  Blackbird just say this or know?"

Marco said "The people that orchestrated my demise are his teammates, they rallied that message." He hands Yelena a comlink saying "This burner is linked to his team.  I cannot talk to him... Too many emotions and I might say something spontaneous"
