Utterly Mad

Heinrich quickly followed the resistances fighters into the sewers.

You have a good point, also, I designed these sewer tunnels, the tunnel walls absorb the nasty smells from the air, so the smell isn't the thing to worry about, there are laser tripwires with arc emitters attepaced to them, just follow me.

He started to carefully traverse the sewers.

((so couple things. Frist I'm not going to be able to update today since I'll be without the internet for a while, secondly please don't assume things about the environment you are in, especially without asking me first. Describing things is fine but there's no booby traps and the Germans wouldn't have designed the sewer systems in what was an already existing city before they arrived. if you want to include these types of details in a post either PM me or catch me in the chat and we'll talk it over.))

Jack watched his "commander" scurry away. It had been the welcome he expected, and he immediately wrote the man off as one of those old Prussian "war is fun, occupation isn't" types. With a sigh, he turned to his men.

"Shultz, take a quick little poke around. I'm sure our friends here have set up an adequate defensive perimeter, but I'd like you to make sure. After that, go round up the other two and have them report back." The corporal nodded, and Jack looked towards Paul. "There's a bit more work to be done before we investigate whatever watering hole the others have found," he smiled, "I want you to check through the personnel files and inventory reports. See who we're working with and what sort of equipment we can expect to be dealing with. As the commandant suggested, I'm going to go over those reports, check the current assignments, and see if anything stands out as a worthwhile use of our time. We'll reconvene in two hours."

He flashed a quick salute, dismissing his soldiers and moving towards the ops room. As an after thought, he turned back to Paul, and quietly added "Make sure to find out our new commandant's name, just in case he plans to be more hands on than he indicated. See if you can dig up anything useful on him, but don't dedicate too much time to it just yet."

Jack

The ops room was large enough to house a large map of the city, several operatives listening to radio chatter and directing security forces where they're needed and other various tasks. An officer who you assumed to be around the age of nineteen approached with a set of folders and you noted the missing ear and mask over the left half of his face. Snapping a quick salute the man said "Hello sir, good to see some new blood running this place. I am in charge of radio dispatch and communications as well as confidential files such as these." Laying them on a nearby table the man continued "These are the personnel files of those that came here with you should you like to view them. Someone up the chain of command said they were for your eyes only."

Motioning to an old filing cabinet the man said "Should you like to see old reports we keep a back log of two months on hand before sending them to a storage facility." Walking over to the map table the man continued "Should you like any older reports we can request them from the storage facility. It will take some time of course but sometimes our agents over look details in reports before filing them away."

He then opened a drawer on the table that the map was on and pulled out a handful of reports. "The current reports are kept here. Nothing of much concern so far today, a few arrests for public drunkeness, one for lewd behavior, and an incident of domestic violence which the officers on hand dealt with. Some concerns in District 4 though, one of our Abwehr agents over heard some individuals speaking ill of the Reich, one of which we've had suspicions about already. If you should like we can have him watched."

Motioning to the map itself the man said "You can assign men and Abwehr agents to the districts on the map. As you can see we have several agents watching District 2, the place of business of a man named Xavier Bronson in specific. Some suspicious activity has been happening in the area near the business and he was already suspected so a handful of agents have been following him."

Continuing the man said "We're also watching a number of other places including the 'Bronze Star Brewery', the 'Northern hotel', and a public housing building in district 5. Those are all of our current intelligence operations. Everything else is just the standard patrols and arrests that happen everyday. Nothing requiring your attention though I'm sure the police department will be more than willing to provide the reports you want."

The man gave another quick salute and said "If you should require me simply call for Walter over the intercom." With that he went over to one of the radios and started listening to the radio chatter, occasionally speaking to someone on the line.

Two hours later Paul you found Paul berating two of the Wehrmacht soldiers in the warehouse before walking over toward you. "I'm sure things went well for you. Equipment wise we have plenty of surveillance gear to run a handful of operations, wish we had more but it looks like the commandant was more worried about armed uprisings then preventing them so we have more guns than we have personnel. Speaking of personnel we're dealing primarily with newer recruits from the Wehrmacht, a few veterans from the European war mixed in but not many. The Abwehr men we have are a bit more experienced on average but they all seem to want to put a..." Paul stopped to think for a second before continuing "...put what the Americans called 'stars and bars' on their shoulders I think. They want a medal at least. Younger men wanting to make a name for themselves."

Shaking his head Paul said "Our Commandant friend is named Gerhard. He did something and got sent to the Russian front but it's been classified. Whatever he did over there impressed someone because he got transferred out of the front and to America." Paul pulled a cigarette out and lit it before continuing "Trust me sir, you have to fuck up badly, very badly, to get sent to the Russian front. You have to do something miraculous to get back out."

Paul motioned to the entrance and said "Kids are home."

Schultz walked through the doorway behind Oskar and Emil shouting at them. As they approached you heard Schultz say "Hello Sir, I'm back with the two men who were, as they put it, 'investigating the locals'. And By that they mean attempting to talk two of the local women into bed later tonight, rather unsuccessfully."

Oskar mumbled something under his breath about not having much experience which received a strike to the back of the helmet from Schultz. "Awaiting your orders sir."


The Resistance

The headset crackled to life as a voice came over the radio "Hello new recruits. We're going to be nice and give you the choice between joining us or us giving you a Saturday Night Special and sending you on your way after we take you a ways away from our base. I highly recommend option one."

The frenchman that had rescued you led you further down the tunnels as the man continued speaking to you over the radio "We could use more people, always do. You'll be helping free America and later the rest of the world. Of course as I said it's up to you, after all we only really were after helping out a friend of ours on those transports but figured we'd save everyone else involved."

The man leading you said "Okay, here we are." One of the others started up the ladder to your right as the Frenchman waited and watched the tunnels. "All clear up here."

Motioning for you to go first the Frenchman waited. Once up the ladder the resistance members led you onto a large truck with the others they rescued. "Of course you'll make that decision once you get to our base, give you time to consider things." the man said

The back of the truck was closed and you felt it begin to accelerate out of the building. Some time passed, how long you weren't sure, before it stopped and you were guided  into a warehouse and blind folded. From there you were led somewhere that you couldn't tell the location of. Once the blind folds were removed you found yourselves in a sealed room with a man sitting in a chair in front of you. Smiling at you he took a sip from the cup he was holding before speaking in a distinctly british accent "So, the boss wants to know what your decision is. So what's it gonna be? On the run or working with us?"

Heinrich sighed.

What choice do I have, I will join you.

(Mrno let me know that his character agreed to be part of the resistance and told me to go ahead and update)
Resistance
"With that out of the way, welcome to the Resistance." The man stood and opened a door that led out of the room. Drifting out you came to a more open area with several people walking about or working. Whether they were checking weapons or listening to the radio signals everyone seemed to be doing something.

One man motioned you over and spoke in a heavy German accent "Hello! So I'm the quartermaster, as such I'm the man you get your equipment from." The man stopped for a second to look at the chamber of the pistol he was inspecting before continuing "Since you're new here all I've been allowed to give you are those MP40s, some spare magazines, and whatever equipment that's required for the job. Whenever you're here just come and find me if you need ammo or gear. By the way, it's nice to know I'm not the only German with a conscience."

With that the man turned and started stripping a rifle on his table. The Frenchman that had rescued you walked up and said "I see you've already met Edgar." He motioned to a man standing in front of a radio talking into a headset "That's the boss, go around, talk to whoever you want or just take some time. Whenever you're all ready he'll give you an assignment."

Pointing to a hallway he continued "That leads to the barracks, the training grounds, and the med ward." Motioning to another hallway on the other side of the room he said "And that leads to the 'hangar', as the men have taken to calling it, the workshop, and storage."

Walking away the man started talking to another Resistance member that had been cataloging several loose items in the room.

(so if you want to check around do so, you'll get more opportunities later but you'll find more characters to interact with which might prove useful)

Jack

Walking into the Vehicle Bay you saw the plethora of armored transports, jeeps, and your Behemoth trooper. Standing ten feet tall the combination of flesh and metal was standing on the far end of the Vehicle Bay. After you approached it didn't react for a few seconds before turning and speaking through the speakers built into the 'helmet' "Hello Captain Kennedy. It will be a pleasure serving under you."

Jack noted the machine gun attached to Wolfgang's right arm. The left had nothing attached to it but Jack could see that it was designed to have something attached to it as well. The armor plating that may as well have been his skin at this point was painted a dark grey and there were several spots that appeared to have once had decals painted onto them but since been worn off revealing the dull color of the metal itself.

Erica fumbles with the MP40 a bit, then wanders off to the training grounds.
