This is part of Lance’s very long term plans. At the moment, it consists of riding out with others from the Oasis, and distributing food, water, medicine and other vital supplies to those who are very gravely in need. Note: It is not my intention to compete with the Oasis. This is just bare survival for those who have nothing and are in imminent danger of death or dire suffering. Also, if there are relatively simple problems that can be solved (primarily by shooting said problems) this will also be done.

“I’m Lance Deschene, and I have ethics.  Shouldn’t you?”

First and probably most important. A team including at least Technomage Archibald (the one who cut off his wee-wee and then got it bionically replaced) found and explored the Tomb of Solomon. Inside it, they found (in no particular order of importance or interest)

o The Damocles Node disguised as the Ark of the Covenant

o The Sword of Solomon/Justice

o A much older version of Mister Doctor Devlan who had apparently been purposefully trapped in the tomb, because …

o He was totally insane and blamed Archibald for “ruining everything” and killing his daughter Erin

Devlan attacked Archibald, but died in that act leaving more questions than answers. What else is new, right?

(OOC Note, none of this material is in the “official” report.  You may have heard rumors about this, but it is unconfirmed.)

The Gates were unusually erratic and e-con was only partially effective. This may or may not have been because Puck was distracting Jabberwocky.

One of the erratic gates sent General and Mrs. Sykes into a war zone in an Unbroken Thread of Laos in 1968. They were rescued without significant injuries.

Unbroken Threads highly resemble pre-Event reality and changes made in them are added to the Timeline and most folks “remember” them as always having happened. These are obviously very dangerous places to go. Experimentation in a Unbroken Thread of ancient (not medieval) Jerusalem revealed that pre-Event technology like guns and PDAs work just fine. Magic is “low” and Hypertech is “unreliable.”

There was another, possibly unrelated, but still noteworthy discovery in what we called “True Jerusalem.” Although only Lance spoke Hebrew (see Lance Deschene in - Lance and the Beautiful but Deadly Mossad Agent) everyone else perceived the ancient Aramaic that was being spoken as English. Lance could “hear” the ancient Aramaic if he concentrated very hard, but when he was distracted heard English. Except from Nigel who never speaks English as far as Lance is concerned.

Hostile contact was made with a multi-Thread criminal organization that calls itself the Syndicate. They’re bad news.

Information that will hopefully lead to a gate to Ancient Egypt was discovered.

Semi-friendly relations were opened with an Ancient Scottish Thread.

There is a time-traveling multi-thread serial killer identifying herself as KG. She has killed at least 3 JET personnel, including one technomage. She may or may not be related to or working for the technomage we are calling Jack the Ripper. She may or may not be Kim George, a native of the Midwest who has a history with Nick.

The head of the murdered technomage was claimed by the locals as the “head of John the Baptist” and after all technomage bits were removed was gifted to Queen Melisande.

There was also a trip to the Metaverse, where a bunch of technomages, Mr Knight, Ms Woodcliffe and Spaceman Al saw a simulation of what is going on in Paris. Probabilities were gotten as to what the best way to deal with
paris is. Odds are, if Mesmer is left alone, he will spread. Odds are nothing less than a 100% effort on the JET’s part can stop him.

Morgan took the Emir, his wife, and Persephone on a walk in the Tween because of the Emir’s request to see something he had never seen before. The Emir was impressed and made friends with the Queen Melisande of Jerusalem.

An Angel of the Lord was summoned and compelled to tell us the location of the Holy Grail. Said Holy Grail was recovered and given to the locals in exchange for the Ark of the Covenant/Damocles Node.

So far everything is going well.  No one suspects that I am an agent for Fort Knox.  Was able to meet with and pass information to Agent Smith at Penn State.  All of our plans are going well.

When the attack happens, be sure to take out Cookie first.  As we have learned from such valuable  historical movies as “Under Siege” and “The Hunt for Red October” the Cook is always the most dangerous enemy combatant.

Loyally,

Lance
