Operation Pope

OOC:This is intended to be a rough intro, so I don't spoil some people's characters.

IC:

It was an odd team, the Knight admitted. The knight was of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta, also known as the Sovereign Military order of Malta, or simply the Order of Malta. It was an ancient order, going back as far as the crusades. It fought the Turks before being driven out of Rhodes to Malta, where it remained until Napoleon took over. They then fled to Rome.

Recently, the Pope had come into contact with Knight Ermilo Cortez, who had a few ties to Columbia. Though not known to this team, Ernesto Escobedo, a Columbian druglord (the very same from Tom Clancy's Clear and Present Danger), required some immediate funding, and the Pope could not deliver. He had Ermilo Cortez assemble a team to "acquire" some funding.

Neo, Aragorn, Han Solo, Merlin, William Walace, Captain Picard, Austin Powers, Napolean Dynomite, Pedro, and Mother Theresa. Wow, he thought that coke musta gone to my head. No matter. They will do their job. He had the odd people line up in St. Peter's Square, and he walked down their ranks to inspect them. He stepped on a rock and fell over. Napoleon Dynamite was forced to yell, "God, freakin' idiot!"

Aragorn walked over to help him up, and the line broke formation. Han Solo and Captain Picard were getting along well, though Captain Picard did have his doubts about this "Force" that Han was telling him about. The same went with William Walace and Aragorn, Mother Theresa and Merlin, and oddly enough, Neo and Austin Powers. They knew their tasks, and left the knight to Pedro's car, a pimpin' purple car with hydrolics. They all piled in--it was a tight fit--and drove to the nearest airport. Neo insisted that they didn't need a plane--he could carry the car and fly--and Captain Picard insisted that the Enterprise could beam them anywhere.

They ended up being beamed to New Imperia, Imperial Province of Western Africa, an Imperial colony that had recently set up. From there, they were in sight of their objective--the Luck of the Emperor Casino--and a ticket out of the Pope's debt. They pulled up to the Golden Star Hotel, where a few rooms were waiting for them. It had all been prearangged by the Order of Malta. Few would suspect that a conference of the many Order leaders in the Luck of the Empire Casino was not what it would seem.

They all piled out of the car and went upstairs to their rooms, decorated in the Imperial fashion. A portait of the Emperor Victor Ramius, a young man of twenty five, with dark black hair, deep blue eyes, and a muscular build, decorated one of the walls. The walls were all painted a golden color, and the furniture was all green and gold. The blankets on the bed were green and gold also, with the gold forming leaves and flowers. A golden couch, made of leather, was opposite a big screen TV, complete with satellite TV and pay per view. The faucets in the mini-kitchen and the bathroom were coated in real gold.

Each room had five beds each, and half the team slept in each room. They all found sleep easy, for they had been driving through New Imperia's terrible traffic all afternoon.

Captain picard meanwhile, yawned and poked his head up from his long slumber, looking around the hotel room “hmm I needed that sleep “ he brushed off his uniform . he slowly shuffled over to the bathroom to freshen up , he washed his face slightly in some pristine running water walking back out starting to un pack some things from a bag .

Han Solo was sitting outside the apartment, a new day had come. He was squinting in the bright sun as he rested on a marble barrier going around a tree. He took a gulp of his drink, and looked around. He turned and looked back at the hotel casino, the soon to be $150 million less hotel casino. He smirked and took another gulp.

Merlin stepped out from the doors to see Han sitting down, and Austin Powers off dancing to some music. He scratched his beard, never in his life had he seen such odd people. They certainly were no knights, but he knew this was Britain either. He walked down the steps, and looked into the sky, an owl flew down and rested on his shoulder, he nodded to it and looked at Austin Powers dance.

Austin was having a blast, he was grooving to his theme song down the street as people on the sidewalks watched. They were obviously liking it because they were smiling and laughing and pointing. He had finished and then walked back to the hotel, walking up to Han.

"Hey man," He said. "How is it shagster?"

"Its just great kid," Han said.

Merlin approached them. "So, when are we going to discuss our course of action?"

"Whenever whoever is in charge of us comes up with one," Han said.

Mother Theresa did not look like a criminal mastermind, she was a very saintly person indeed, but when the higher-ups had called for this mission they had somehow unearthed a hidden cunning. The old woman smiled to herself, it was so easy. Well, somewhat easy, easier than it should be, she thought.

She was looking over a map of the casino--a replica of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul--and realized that the easiest point of entry had to be from the air. Blasting a hole in the dome would be easy enough, she thought, but she didn't know how on Earth they would get up there. She thought about consulting Aragorn, sitting near her, but then realized he had never seen a car until this operation. She thought maybe Neo could fly them onto the roof, and punch a hole in.

Aragorn couldn't make out most of the details, but the King of Gondor guessed that he was attacking the enemies of a king greater than he. He had asked Mother Theresa what type of orcish magic made the automobiles move, and the airplanes fly. She responded by saying there were no orcs in Imperial West Africa. That is good, he thought, that the greatest Evil in the world resides not in this land. What could we be fighting? Is there an even greater evil?

"My lady, I have seen you working on that plan for some time. If it is complete, shall not we bring it before the others? We should involve them in the planning. And also, fair lady, who is it that we fight?"

"You're right, Aragorn. We should bring this to the others. We are fighting the casino gaurds, but for what reason I know not."

Mother Theresa and Aragorn walked down to Merlin and the others, and proposed that they fly--somehow, maybe via Neo--onto the great dome of the casino and rob it from there. On the way, they motioned for Picard to follow them, passing him on the way down.
