Scene 1 - The Ruk Disaster

The intern gulps visibly and then darts from the room. Why? Not clear.

He returns, at least his arm does, as he chucks a roll of antacids into the middle of the room before disappearing again.

The intern pops his head in then ducks out. There is a brief muffled conversation outside before a plump brunette steps (is shoved) into the room. She catches her balance. She adjusts her skirt and then leans on her left leg, twisting her right foot inward. "Soooo, what can I get you?" If you explain about a plane to Istanbul, she states blankly, saying. "It's Fischer Astrotech. That means like space and stuff. Of course we have a plane. Where do you need to go again?"

She pulls out a pad as Duke starts rattling off stuff, then she peers at the others. "Anything else before I, like, start making arrangements? And do you have an authorization from Dr. Culkin for this stuff?"

She pencils it in expertly onto her pad, and then reads it back to Seth. She looks at the others for additional requests.

Sensing your urgency and with Dr. Culkin's seemingly blanket authorization, the intern and the receptionist hastily gather your supplies. You then load said gear and a driver takes you to the airport, where you are boarded onto 1970s era Dassault Falcon 50 business jet painted with a slightly scratched logo for Fischer Aerospace. The interior is well worn but looks like it was replaced in the 1990s with a saccarine dusty rose theme. The engines are up and spinning when you board on the tarmac, and as soon as your gear is loaded and you are seated, the pilots request your seatbelts be fastened as they jockey onto the runway proper. After the ubiquitous weird two minute wait that seems an eternity, the jet taxis onto the runway and stops. The engines build to a crescendo then squeeze you into your seats as the jet picks up velocity, then floats effortlessly into the air.



"This is Captain Amir Raheel. We are presently climbing to 12,000 meters and heading east for Istanbul Atutark Airport. Our travel time is estimated to be 3 and a half hours. There are refreshments in the rear area of the cabin, so help yourself to what you need." A quick check shows a small container of smoked salmon has been crammed into the mini-fridge, along with several containers of Morrocan tangines, a few gyro sandwiches, and several bottles of Algerian red wine.

With a lengthy flight, you should probably make recovery rolls as needed. Remember that you have four recovery rolls that take respectively one action, 10 minutes, one hour, and 10 hours (not enough time for that one) to complete. It is still the first day, so if you have already used them, these will not have reset since Ruk.

Make your rolls in this thread, and tomorrow I'll post Scene 2 - The Istanbul Auction.

Edit: Using the 10 Minute also just in case.
