*Action* - Nouvelle Français in crisis

*Action* - "Nouvelle Français in crisis"Who: General Napoleon BogardeWhere: French Government building, Nouvelle FrancaisWhen: As the crew cross the riverIt
had been several weeks since the French Prime Minister JacquelineShiraz
had turned into a chicken, and General Bogarde hadn't had muchfun since.Nouvelle
Francais was in a state of crisis, although not much of thepopulation
seemed to know about it, or care. The power across theentire globe had
been cut thanks to be Blue Dwarf not stopping Welshterrorists in time,
and there was now a plague which seemed to turnnormal people into
chickens sweeping the planet.And General Bogarde was
unfortunately the closest to being in chargethan anyone. In the
candlelight of his office, he stroked his thinblack moustache and ran
his hand through his greasy black hair. Hehadn't slept for quite some
time, he was doing two jobs at once, hisown, and now also trying to
take over the Prime Ministers job.The first issue was security,
with the power offline the planet wasvulnerable to attack. The Blue
Dwarf was still hovering overhead in along-distance orbit, he wondered
what they were up to, but felt prettyrelieved that he had ridded them
of all their weapons.The second issue was trying to keep that
bloody chicken flu virus undercontrol. It had apparently started in one
of the far-off islands on theplanet, but quickly had spread to the
mainland, and had spread throughmany small villages to the south of New
Paris. It was impossible tovaccinate for, and impossible to cure
without an antidote. It wouldn't be long before all his constituents were chickens.An informant came in and gave him more stats. "Bonjour monsieur, we have found that another small town has just contracted the poulet disease."General
Bogarde looked up and tugged on his moustache irritably. "So?It has
happened a lot these past weeks, why is this one so important?"The
messenger stood awkwardly. "Because sir, it is the closest town toNew
Paris from the south. If any infected persons from the town walkdue
north, it will spread the plague to ze city. And then we shall notbe
able to stop it.""Zut alors! Really? Zis is terrible news!" The man nodded as Napoleon seemed to think of a plan. "Alright, here is what we do. We still have several Eurobombers fuelled up?""Oui monsieur, we have kept a surplus of fuel just in case.""Bon. Then I want someone to go bomb that villiage.""Pardon?! Bomb our own people?""You heard me correctly. Zis is ze only way we can stop the spread."General
Napoleon Bogarde thought about it for a moment longer. "Infact, give
the job to a new recruit, then we can blame their error ifit ever comes
to blaming me.""Qui monsieur." The messenger bobbed his head and disappeared.< 
OOC – if any member hasn't been mentioned yet in group goingto Paris,
this would be a perfect time to take this up as a subplot!>----------------------------------------------------Who: The Blue Dwarf team finding the weaponsWhere: New ParisWhen: Same time<OOC
– I admit, I messed this up last time by using Jay eventhough he'd been
kidnapped, so I'm going to do what Becca said andsubstitute jay for
jack>The last of the team trebucet'ed across the River
Seine, most of themmaking it clearly to the other side, apart from Efof
who caught thedistance short and landed in the shallow water."Hey look, look at me!" he said, foundering about. "I'm in-seine, gettit? In-seine?!"There
were a few groans, but most people ignored him. And the teammarched to
the city. Their French Legion uniforms stopped anyone fromgetting
suspicious.The city had so many small narrow side streets, that
finding the onebuilding proved very difficult so the team split up into
smaller groupsuntil they found the building where the weapons were
stored.The building was tall, and boring, and made from extremely thick concrete."Okay,
try and find an entrance." Said Jack, and the team walked aroundthe
building. After a 10 minutes they were back to where they started."It doesn't have an entrance!" Said Phil in confusion.Jack
snapped his fingers. "Of course, they used a transporter to beamour
weapons in there, so to make it absolutely secure, they haven'teven
built a door!""So how do we get in?" He asked.It was Joe
Craggins that came up with the idea. He pointed to one ofseveral large
structures that were dotted around the city. They lookedlike Eiffel
tower replicas, but had weapons platforms on top."How about we climb up there, and use one to blow a hold in the wall?" he said."Its
risky…" said Phil. "If we did that it'd blow our cover and we'dhave to
get our weapons as quick as possible before anyone comes to seewhat the
noise was."But it was the best solution they had, so it was agreed.The problem they now had, was getting to the top. Each tower was surrounded by an electrical perimeter fence and several guards."I can see five guards at the bottom, one in the lift shaft, and three on top." Said Jack, looking through some binoculars."Then lets go twat `em!" Said Alandra."Hold on… what with?" Said Jack."We got given guns by the French!" Said Alandra.Jack shook his head. "Shoot me with one!" Alandra begrudged turned her weapon on him, but got too scared and shot Efof instead. A small soft pellet bounced off his head."Oi!" Said Efof. "You can't shoot a guy in the nuts, its not fair!""New recruits aren't trusted with live weapons." Said Jack. "Looks like we need to do this the old fashioned way!"He pounded his hand with his fist.<
OOC- okay we have a plan! We need to get up to the tower, touse the
turret to shoot the building and get our weapons back. Butremember we
only have soft pellet guns, so we need some kind of plan!Tag to anyone!
