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.
