Hawaii:Sessions:19910105:Pre Mission Activities
HAWAII REST PERIOD (January 1, 1991 - January 5, 1991)
On January 1, 1991, Darr began his trip back to Hawaii. He had good luck and arrived back there on January 2, 1991. Not too long after his arrival -- just hours -- Enigma appeared and gave Darr the task of putting together the next mission team.
Mission specs: Victorian London (around 1881 or so). They were to get rid of the fear (a creature that fed off of fear). The Black Holes might or might not work, and if they did work a pathway for the enemy would be provided. He also gave Darr three symbol-covered grenades, and told him the creature couldn't be hurt by most weapons and magic. If all three grenades hit the creature at once it would be driven away. But one would make it vulnerable to attack for about thirty seconds.
Darr began putting a team together. Darr picked up a package from Kathy and an envelope from Kristi at the hotel desk. The picture from Kristi was cheesecake. The one from Kathy Oakbranch was her blaster with fourteen charges left on it. Darr first ran into and recruited Milo for the mission. Cartwright was not able to go. When Darr approached Whitetop he found that Whitetop had something he had to do, so when Darr then ran into Brodie he recruited him. Darr next found Roberto Petrocelli, Black Trey, Two-Leaf, Tormac, and Lara Lee in the Black Hole common room and related the mission specs to them. Roberto, Lara Lee, and Tormac signed up to go. Darr couldn't find Tanisha, but the board said she was in Hawaii so he left her a message. Later that afternoon she got in touch with him. So over dinner at an Italian place that evening Darr presented the mission specs to Kristi and Tanisha. Both said they'd have to think about it.
Since they wouldn't be able to use the Black Hole infirmary to treat the wounded, Darr set out to recruit a second doctor. From the locator board he got in touch with a Dr. Emery. Emery couldn't come, but he did refer Darr to a Dr. Siobhan Galaway. Darr got in touch with her and a lunch meeting on that day (01/03/91) was set up. They met, and she agreed to come along.
That afternoon Darr went shopping. Purchases were:
- 12 broad head arrows
- 1 bow quiver (holds 6)
- 1 Glock-17 9mm
- 6 throwing knives
- 1 M-16
- 4 M-16 clips
- 1 very fine saber
- 1 set climbing gear
- 3 walkie-talkie headsets (from Miracle Technologies)
- 1 windup watch
- 1 electronic watch
- 1 lock pick set
Late Thursday afternoon Tanisha agreed to come, but Kristi declined due to the era. Darr then got with the rest and set up a team meeting for Friday afternoon (01/04/91). The meeting was held and all facts nailed down. Darr gave one of the grenades to Roberto and one to Brodie. Leave time was noon next day. That evening the majority of the team members attended the concert of Scott's band. Departure was on time.
