From Sin-Cong with options
5/20/1948, Vyrra’s Sea Cave, The SOuthern Sea
The Lady of Atlantis had been coming into the cave, no one was supposed to be going to, and as the woman entered, Seth and Dara with her, curious about the sight when she noticed that there was something in there, something with a large fin and claws, almost sounding like a feral creature as it glared towards them, “Na… mor?” it asked, making them look at each other.
Seth looked towards the beast before he smiled, “Yes, friends of Namor.” the man said, making the beast snarl before it retreated back into the cave now, making the trio look towards each other now before the redhead shouted, “Vyrra!” she shouted as the beast came out now, going and offering a device, “For… Na… mor.” he said out loud, making them curious about what was on it.
She saw that there was a button now, seeing that there was a button, the woman pressed it and a voice played, “Hello there…” An ancient voice said, “If you are listening to this, than I am not at work, I apologize, but I will not have a maintained schedule now.” The Atlantean said towards them, “If there is anything I can do to help, please let my assistant know, and he will tell me.”
That made them look around, trying to find out where this assistant was before seeing that there was the beast looking at them, cocking its head to side now, “Mess… age?” the creature said and hearing that, Dorma took a breath, “Tell Vyrra that Namor wanted to warn him about Doctor Dorcas and how dangerous he could be.” she said and hearing that, the beast nodded, “Mess… age… received.” he said.
The creature went and started to head further into the cave now, making the trio have some confused reactions now before they decided to stay out of the cave, there was something that could be dangerous or something that they didn’t want to know, so instead, the group went and started to head back towards the kingdom now and as they did so, the fact that Vyrra was unobserved got them more worried than before.

5/20/1948, Essex Clinic, Manhattan
Namor was walking into the clinic now, he felt another headache coming but this time he was prepared, pressing a hand against the wall and taking deep breaths to calm himself down, “Hello there, are you okay?” the woman from the clinic had asked, making him shake his head to steady himself before nodding, “Yes… Yes I am.” he told her, “I’ve… I’ve just been having some issues.” he told her.
That made her concerned as she approached him, helping The Atlantean get inside now, “How long have these headaches been happening?” she asked of Namor, making him sigh, “Since last year?” I have these headaches and then moments of weakness follow afterwards.” he told her which made the woman think, “I’ll have to consult Dr. Bocklin.” she told him.
Hearing that, Namor was curious as he had been sat down, looking towards a image of what looked to be Charles Darwin with a Red Diamond in where his pupil should be, “Hello there, can I help you?” a elderly man said towards him, wearing a lab coat and having a clipboard, “Can you please be so kind as to tell us your name?” he asked, making the Atlantean sigh.
“Namor McKenzie.” he said to the man, making him nod, seeming to not care but the woman did, “Okay then, Mr. McKenzie, you said that you were having headaches and moments of weakness, correct?” he asked of him and hearing that, the Atlantean nodded, “And how long ago since you’ve been out of the water.” the man said and hearing that, the Prince pause.
“I’m not ignorant, you’re The Sub–Mariner, so how long have you been out of the Ocean?” he asked and hearing that, Namor sighed towards that now before thinking, “Honestly? It’s been a couple of years.” he told him, making the doctor tsk, “Unfortunately, I think what we have here is some sort of dehydration issue.” he said towards the Atlantean.
“I think that you’re going to have to go back in the ocean and stay there.” he said, “It might not reverse everything, but it will at least keep things from getting worse.” he said now and hearing that, the Prince sighed, “I’m sorry, but that’s not likely.” he said and hearing that, the doctor was curious, “Truly? Not even natural Seawater exported from the ocean? Or making your own saltwater?” he asked.
But Namor shook his head, “They’ll know, they will know and not only myself will get punished by my grandfather, but every member of my family and friends who support me if Byrrah has anything to say about it.” he continued and hearing that, the doctor took a breath, “Than I suggest that you compensate, make sure that there is nothing that could hurt you when they inevitably falter.”
Namor didn’t like the sound of that, he smiled towards that before the Prince got up, feeling a bit weak now before the man looked, “Then I will take my decline with grace.” he said towards him before there was a noise, making him and the doctor look to see that Cadeo was there and smiling towards him, “Hello there, Namor.” he said with a smile, making the man confused as they moved.

5/20/1948, Manhattan, New York City
The two of them had been walking and as they did so, Namor looked towards Cadeo with some confusion, “I don’t understand, why are you here?” he asked, making the man smile, “My people are having talks with your United States, but I wanted to talk to you, seeing if there was anything that I could say to ask for assistance, maybe your Stingray to run medical supplies?”
Hearing that, Namor gave a look towards him, “I’m sorry, but I have no way to connect to our technology, Nammu is the one in control of The Stingray,” he said, making the man curious about that, “So then… the man there with the blue hair is watching you?” Namor asked, making him look to see the man in question, “That’s Le Coq Bleu.” he said towards him, making Namor confused.
“Who the Hell is Le Coq Bleu?” he asked and hearing that, Cadeo gave a look towards him before smiling, “Think of him as… The Captain America of France, he was made from some research that was stolen by The French Government.” he said with a smile, making the Atlantean look towards the man, disliking the sound of that before he noticed that there was something in what he said.
“You WANT me to tell The Americans.” he said, making Cadeo shrug, “I want to be friends, and besides, they made Le Coq Bleu in Sin–Cong anyways.” the human said to him, that made The Prince curious before said Le Coq Bleu started to walk away, making Cadeo give a little wave towards him before looking back to Namor, “So I must ask, if you don’t have the authority, who does?”
Namor sighed towards that, “A close friend of mine.” the Atlantean said and hearing that, the man grew curious, “And would they be willing to assist?” he asked and hearing that, the Prince sighed, “I would have to ask of them.” he said and hearing that, Cadeo smiled, “And I would be happy to talk to them.” he said towards them now before they went to go and enjoy a meal together.

5/23/1948, Dorma’s Chambers, The Royal Palace
The woman started to looking over everything now before she saw that there was Nammu coming in now, Tali with Magni and Modi following her before the twins started to circle while Nammu approached, “Namor had been talking to a man, Cadeo, from Sin–Cong, and he wanted to know if we could have a Stingray or two deliver medical supplies towards the people there, we already have a location.
The woman looked over the information before she noticed that there was some things that made the woman think before looking towards the woman, “I think that we should send someone to keep an eye on the area first, a Sleeper, just to make sure.” she said and hearing that, Tali raised her hand, “I’d be happy to look into the area, should be interesting.” she told her.
Hearing that, the twins and Nammu both looked towards her now, but Tali had no issue with that as the woman pulled out a insect from her pocket and placed it on her skin, the creature burrowing underneath now and made her wince in pain, her skin starting to change the tone now as her bandanna covered her ears, “Okay… so where am I going?” she asked as started to tell her.

5/25/1948, Lán wān Village, Sin–Cong
Tali had come out from the fishing villages beach and as she looked around, the people there were hungry and one in every three had a weapon on hand, some of them glared with a few of them starting to aim while she raised her hands, “我的船沉了，我来自北方，侥幸逃生！(My boat crashed, I came from the North and barely survived!)” she told them and hearing that, an old woman approached.
“你是 辛聪之子 的孩子吗？或者你是一位青蛙爱好者？(Are you a child of Sin–Cong, or are you a Frog Lover?)” she questioned and hearing that, the woman remembered what she was told, “我是新丛的孩子，我将为保卫我的国家而战斗。(I am a child of Sin–Cong, and I will fight to protect my country.)” she explained and hearing that, the people there calmed down.
“很好，那么你有一天的时间离开我们的村庄，收集旅途所需的一切材料。(Good, then you will have a day to leave our village, gather whatever materials you need for your journey.)” the woman said and hearing that, Tali gave a bow, “谢谢你们，祝愿我们新康家园永远坚强。(Thank you, and may our home Sin-Cong remain strong.)” she said which made them relieved by that.
They started to split up now and as they did so, Tali gave a look around everywhere, glad that she knew enough alchemy to hide herself from Pinklings now as the woman started to walk towards one of the stalls that were there and seeing that there was some clothes and supplies that were there before the woman checked her map and knew which way she was gonna have to go.

5/26/1948, Monster Isle, Sea of Okhotsk
Nammu had been sitting at the beach now, some of the natives that lived here watching her as The Atlantean looked towards the communicator before her cousin spoke, “Nammu, it’s Tali.” She said as her kids started to play in the waves with more of the villagers, “Hey there, how are things over in Sin–Cong?” she asked of her, “Well, there’s chaos, the capital city is a looters haven.”
But Nammu had another question, “What about that thing you talked about… Le Coq Bleu?” She asked, making Magni laugh at the name, “I found some french facilities, but they were all razed, nothing left but some pictures.” Talie said to her, “What kind?” she asked of Tali, “Some sort of… graduation class?” She said, “There’s more than one Le Coq Bleu.” Talie warned.
“Well then, we should probably keep an eye out for more Capitaines de France.(Captains of France.)” she told The Alchemist, “Will do.” The woman said to her before Nammu noticed that there was a child who was at a rock and was painting on it, “Jouj im jouj, ta eo kwoj kōmmane?(Excuse me, what are you doing?)” The woman asked of the child who had turned towards her.
His eyes were glowing emerald, making her a bit disturbed by the sight as she saw the image, it being a large emerald beast or somewhat with monsters around like the one in the center, “Haarg eo enaj itok, im renaj kokkure lal in.(The Haarg will come, and they will break the world.)” The child said, the green eyes starting to fade and revert to normal, “Ta eo ear walok?(What happened?)” The child asked.
But they had no idea what was going on now before looking back at the radio, “Be careful, and if there’s anything dangerous, burn it down.” she told Tali, “[Happy to do so, Cousin.]” She told her, the two of them smiling on their ends before handing up, “Mama!” Modi shouted, making her look to the children, “Lookit this!” she shouted, taking a stone and crushing it, making Nammu smile.
“That’s great, sweetie!” she said, approaching her before her eyes began to glow, making all of the nearby children start to get as happy she Modi and her were while Magni had lifted up a stone instead and looked, “What about me?!” the boy said, making her smile and shocked by the sight before her, thinking that Meranno and that brain had done more than she originally thought.

5/26/1948, Sin–Cong Reservation, The Carlyle Hotel
Namor had been coming into the room now and as he did so, Cadeo and the men that he came with smiled, waving towards him with a smile, “Hello there, Namor.” Cadeo said before the others went to give him the room, making Namor think that there was more than he had been led to believe, “So then, about your assistance?” he asked, making the Atlantean give a look.
“My friend had contacted me, they’re going to create a… trading post for medical supplies and such.” he said and hearing that, the man smiled, “Like ammunition? Materials? Weapons?” he asked and hearing that, Namor shook his head, “No, sadly we don’t have anything in the agreement like that, but food, medicine and clothes.” he told the man who sighed.
“Fine then… the betterment of our people is first before victory against our enemies.” he said, sounding QUITE fluent in english, “Here is the locations that they will be dropped off.” he said, revealing a paper, “On the condition that you allow us to have a foothold so that we can move and implant ourselves in Asia.” he continued and hearing that, the man smiled.
“I think that my people would be happy to have allies under the sea.” he said, making the Prince nod as he handed the information to the man and the moment that he did so, The two of them talking, Namor had no idea at all that Cadeo was seeing other uses for what was happening and it was going to make him mor powerful and Sin–Cong a true threat, if he played his cards right.

The Kendal’s were looked towards the little party that was set up for the two families and those that they cared about, looking towards the set up that was there before noticing how there was the cards that she set up and realized that they had been torn apart, making Liz glare towards the sight before looking towards Phil who approached her now with a smile before seeing her face.
“What?” he asked her, “Why are Autumn Snow and Shurrea’s spots torn apart?” Cass asked of him, making Phil look, “I have no idea, I didn’t do that.” The boy said, making them both look at the torn paper, “But maybe it’s for the best?” Phil asked, “After all, some people might be… disturbed by them.” he said towards Cass now, looking nervous at what her reaction would be.
But Cass was not amused and she was not going to be happy about all of that before the girl went to follow Phil, “Okay… so what are we going to be doing?” she asked and hearing that, the boy smiled, “Come on! I saw a few things that you might like!” he said, grabbing and trying to drag her now, seeing that he was doing so, Cass decided to comply and follow after the boy.
She always had to do these little bits of compliance every now and again, making sure that she was… appearing weaker, that she seemed sifter than she was, it was annoying, but she liked him and didn’t want him to leave her friend group, so if she needed to play the mouse every once and a while when it’s just the two of them as she went to follow after the boy.
Looking towards the scene of the people all around there, one of the older people looked towards the two, “Oh, what a cute little couple!” the granny said, making the two of them look at her, Cass was about to argue while Phil just smiled wider now, causing the girl the mouse again and copied the smile, that made the other older ladies do the same, which drew the attention of their respective parents now.

6/1/1948, Xiǎo liánmǐn, Sin–Cong
The coastal village on the east of The Country had Tali and a few of their others looking towards the sight of the Sin–Cong revels who had been coming in, the security waved them in, nothing Atlantean or Lemurian in appearance as they walked over, “材料在这儿吗？(Are the materials here?)” The lead said towards Tali who nodded, “交通工具已经到了。(The transport is already here.)” She said.
The crew started to come up now and as they did so, the soldiers started to take them, an exchange of books for the supplies as usual before Tali looked, “一如既往的愉快。(A pleasure as always.)” Tali said with a smile, the man nodding towards that, “希望下次能有一些有刺激性的东西。(Hopefully next time there will be something with some bite.)” he responded to her before leaving.
Taking a breath, Tali turned around and clapped her hands, “[Okay everyone! Who is staying and who is going home?]” she asked and hearing that, the group started to split into two now and as they did so, Tali took a breath, starting to get REALLY tired of Sin–Cong and wanting to go home, hopefully they would be able to get her a leave from here and at least see Nammu and the twins.

6/1/1948, Peterson Residence, Blue Harbour
Namor was walking towards the town now and as he did so, the Prince looked at the little book that he was given by Cadeo, it was something that was about the history of Sin–Cong and it made the man a bit honored to have that, the only problem was that he didn’t have the ability to read Sin–Congese, Cadeo gave him a Rosetta Stone of sorts, but it was a slow process.
The Prince was focused on the words and such before he noticed that on the bench that was between Blue Harbour and the house was a woman there who had been with the same man that had blue hair, “Please, sit down.” The woman said towards him, making the Prince scowl as Le Coq Bleu stood up and went to lean on a tree, “And what should I call you?” he asked her.
“You can call me Criquet.” she said, giving a somewhat warm smile towards him, “Okay, Cricket–” “We want to know what Dinh Cadeo and you have been up to.” she told the Royal, making him confused, “I don’t understand, he’s a soldier–” “Commander Dinh is the leader of the forces who oppose Lady Lotus.” She said and hearing, Namor was confused, “And this Lady Lotus… is she working with France to maintain power?”
But Criquet shook her head, “She’s a Japanese Nationalist who is trying to carve out her own little Eden.” She told him, “But Dinh is a radicalist who wishes to wipe out all enemies of Sin–Cong using whatever powers he can.” The woman said and as she did, he began to hear a clicking, making him think there were cicadas, but none could be seen, “So what are you doing for Commander Dinh?” she asked.
“Nothing but medical supplies.” Namor said, “We’re helping the people of Sin–Cong, not arming their soldiers to kill.” he said, making Le Coq Bleu snort, “Et combien sont morts, ce qui fait que vous êtes si nombreux à Sin–Cong ?(And how many died making however many of you there are in Sin–Cong?)” he questioned, making Le Coq Bleu step forward, at least until Criquet raised her hand.
That seemed to stop him in his tracks as she looked towards him, “If you ever feel worry about whatever Dinh may be doing, please, let us know.” she said, offering a few cards to the Prince who took them, looking them over with some curiosity before The Atlantean watched them leave and know that having The French Community as well as Cadeo having… plans? He knew problems would be coming soon.
