19900915:Pre Mission Activities

HAWAII REST PERIOD - 1.50 DAYS

As soon as they reached the hotel, they were informed that they would be leaving in the next day or so. Therefore, they replenished their supplies immediately. The next morning ENIGMA made an appearance himself, and took Tanisha, Two-Leaf, Whitetop, and Milo aside to fill them in on the next mission.

They informed the rest. They were to return to the scene of a former mission and help a friend, 'THUMPER' (a wolf slayer). This place was a future version of Des Moines, Iowa, but no technology now worked at all. Enigma also told them that Miracle Technologies would come and service / modify the Black Hole.

These technicians arrived just as the team left to do some last-minute shopping. Darr bought four more throwing knives, as well as shoulder belts to hold them. They bought Scott a baseball bat, since he had an aversion to sharp steel. They also bought light sources.

When they arrived back at the suite, they found eight manila envelopes. One was blank, and one was addressed to each of the following: TANISHA, TWO-LEAF, WHITETOP, MILO, DARR, KRISTI, and LARA LEE. The blank one was taken by Tormac, and it contained the regular Black Hole. Each of the other envelopes contained a two-inch piece of black cloth. They immediately began testing these things. Tormac put the big one on the wall.

Tanisha was the first to put hers up. It expanded to a seven-foot opening. Inside was an 8 ft. by 8 ft. anteroom which contained wall hangers and a wooden bench on each side. Tanisha's door was opposite the entrance.

Once Darr saw this, he entered the large Black Hole. Lara Lee and Tormac followed. The common room was unchanged. He went down the hall to his room, but the hall contained no doors. The door to the guest room was there, as was the infirmary door at the far end of the other hallway. Darr then placed his hole where his old door had been, and his door appeared. Darr went it, gathered his equipment, and came out. Then he removed his door. O utside, the experiments continued.

Tanisha borrowed a bandana from Scott, placed it in her anteroom, and removed the Hole. When she put it back up, the bandana was not there. They searched for it, but it was not to be found. Finally, they asked the hotel desk to put them through to Miracle Technologies, and found out that things left in anterooms when the Hole was removed ended up in a lost-and-found at the office of MT in downtown Honolulu. They also discovered through experimentation that they could not overlap Hole entrances, or put a room Hole inside another room Hole.

Tormac claimed a guest room, and Scott was staying with Tanisha. Lara Lee moved her stuff to her new room. Kristi had left right after getting her room, and Samantha (another cat humanoid) joined the team. She was an experienced member of another team. She also claimed a guest room.

During his solo Darr had finished his pilot training, completed his Russian training, and become good with his 9mm semi-automatic.
