After returning to the main body of the party, Ichijou-san could see that something was off. We quickly cluded our business at the ga, Hinata briefly introdug me to a few more dignitaries and business leaders from across the Afri tihat would be beneficial to know, while Ichijou-san took over the after-ga meetings for us, though Hinata was going to give him detailed instrus, which greatly amused him.

  Soon, after saying our farewells to Miss Lindiwe and Mr Mand, we were in our expensive fn car with our new guest, heading back for a mueeded discussion. Though… There’s something wrong here, and even Mayumi-san has noticed it…

  “Don’t you feel at all nervous… you know, you never did say your name.” Mayumi-san inquired. She was right, as Midas was incredibly calm, in trast to Katana-san and Kazumi-san, who despite my presence, were both on high alert, looking ready to attack if Midas made any threatening moves whatsoever.

  “Midas will do.” The shaven-headed man smiled, showing his teeth. “While it is not chosen by me… and is not Afri, I believe that he was King of Phrygia, which would be in Turkey now, if I am not mistaken…” At Mayumi-san’s agreeing nod, he tinued. “While I myself am Afri… I still enjoy the symbolism. After all… in the West, they would say a Midas touch brings success to every endeavour, no?”

  “I’ve heard that.” Mayumi-san agreed. “But you haven’t answered my other question.”

  “It is simple.” Midas agreed. “Am I not in the presence of the Hero of Britain, and the man who rescued i schoolchildren in Korea?” His smile was broad, but beside me, Hinata was looking at him ftly, a pensive expression on her face. To hide that, she snuggled into me, so I reached out an arm and hugged her.

  “You would hardly be so crass, would you, as to harm someone who came seeking your assistance?” he tinued. “Of course, I am hardly so weak as to fear harm. After all… many have tried t me low, and while it has been… inve and stressful… I remain free.”

  The two bodyguards for Ichijou-san, while clearly not used to such situations, started feeling teoo. I made a small gesture for them to calm down, while matg Midas’ smile with one of my own.

  “Of course, I’m not oo resort to violenless me or those I protect are in danger. But… there’s still a lot of unanswered questiarding your iions.”

  “All in good time.” Midas decred. “All in good time.”

  The limousine quickly reached the hotel, though it wasn’t our hotel. While there was every ce that Midas or ihe other Chosen who gate-crashed the ga already knew or could guess where we were staying, there was no point taking ces. Instead, I had secretly messaged Aliyah and Trey to move everyoo the third-best hotel in the area.

  Seeing our destination, everyone remained quiet. Mayumi-san, who normally ented ohing, as if seeking to always have our attention, was clearly well-versed in security, as well she might be, being the heir to such a prestigious house, seemed to uand and showed no surprise.

  “In that case, we should talk.” I said, and Midas grinned again.

  “Of course. Over something cold and strong, perhaps?”

  “Busialks do proceed well over alcohol.” I agreed. While Midas is hiding his League, I doubt he’s any weaker than Nkosi or Dino. So I doubt alcohol will loosen his tongue…

  Once we arrived at our new suite, I knocked on the door, and there was silence for a while, Aliyah and Trey likely cheg it was us. After a moment, Treyvon opehe door, eyeing Midas warily. “Wele back.” He said in English, his Japaill not as fluent as his sister’s.

  “Ameris, huh?” Midas frowned, a swift expression he quickly suppressed, but my senses caught it. Makes sense he doesn’t like them, I suppose…

  “Got a problem?” Aliyah asked sourly, behind her brother. “We’re just here as bodyguards and gophers, just pretend we ain’t here. Or not.”

  I gnced around the room. Titan and Christina weren’t sitting on the sofas in the living area, they were likely hiding in one of the other rooms. I trated, and quickly firmed my guess. I g Midas, but he either didn’t notice, or was keeping quiet.

  “Katana, Kazumi… some drinks for us all.” Mayumi-san ordered casually, and while Katana-san nodded, Kazumi-san looked at Hinata for instrus.

  “It’s fine.” Hinata sighed. “Since Akio is here, but… it’s polite not to ask Kazumi to do things. She’s not your bodyguard, Mayumi.”

  “Don’t be such a spoilsport, Hinata.” Mayumi-san waved it off. In the end, Kazumi-san moved at Hinata’s nod, and then Hinata breathed a few words, so quiet as to barely be audible, but my Perceptio I could pick it up, as surely was her iion.

  “I think Mayumi needs some sort of shock. She’s trying, I’ll admit, but… too many years of being treated as a princess, no, a queen, has meant she ’t step outside of that. As her friend, I have to correct her. Besides, it’s really annoying.” Her smile was slightly apologetic, but I did agree. Miyu had ged, but Mayumi-san was still stu her past mi, even if she had finally opened up to Hinata.

  Ohe drinks were oable, Adelheid, who had been silent the whole time, her nguage skills still rather inferior, made a bee-line for the beer. Midas g her, another quick frown on his face, before he too reached fss. It was filled with id a brown creamy liquid. Amaru, I think? That’s a local drink…

  “Not bad.” he decred, smag his lips, before dropping down onto one of the unoccupied sofas with a certain arrogance, as if he owhe pce. “So, let me be blunt. You want to know why I sought you out, why I offered a deal for my aid?”

  Deg to try some Amaru myself, Hinata following suit, I sat opposite him, Hinata on my left, while Adelheid scooted up to the right, putting some distaween us. “Yes. I know there’s no such thing as free in this world. And excuse me, but for some reason I simply doubt that yoing to tell me you want money or the like. The man with the golden touch shouldn’t have a she of funds.”

  He shook his head wryly at my biting sarcasm. “Of course not. Just as I ged the leaf and the earring… if I wish, golden treasures are mihough I would expect you to uand my limits better than most.”

  I agreed with that. If it’s some sort of unique ability it’ll likely e a huge amount of aether. Or if it’s metal element, the same issue would apply… Of course, I had the reports from the Vermillion List about the gold dust that had seemingly killed the US agents, and it didn’t take much effort to imagine ways transf even a tiny portion of a human body to metal would be fatal.

  “So, you said there was a l here, and it needed rooting out, and that if my goal didn’t flict with your aims you’d sider helpihere’s the issue though, you know about us, but we know very little about you, Midas.”

  “What’s to know? I’m a good, family man, who was grahis power. It was… ued, but it was clearly the will of the Gods.”

  Adelheid s that, still sipping at my beer. “There seem to be no end of Gods … imposing? Yes… imposing their wills nowadays.” She then psed bato German. “We’re all dang to someone else’s flute. But I’m no shitty puppet. I’m my own woman!”

  I nodded, agreeing. As I said from the start, I’m grateful to Ortlinde and Tyr, and now Tsukuyomi, but I’m also not their servants. I’ll help them out iure, their Pantheons, if I … but our own needs e first.

  “So, what do you want to root out?” I asked bluntly. On another seat, Mayumi-san watched on with great i, finding all this very exg, while her grandfather clicked his tongue, before speaking up.

  “Now, now Akio-kuing to the point shtforwardly might be one of yood points, but it also be seen as rude. Besides, iation requires finesse. You tell him, Hinata-!”

  “When it es to business, I’ll step in.” Hinata agreed. “But Kira-sama, Mayumi, her of you really uand Chosen matters. Yes, you have your Ichijou house recruits…” She g the two guards of Ichijou-san again, her lip curling imperceptibly, clearly unimpressed by their calibre. “…but when it es to dealing with such things, there’s more to it than business. Let Akio hahings, and I’ll step in when needed.”

  “She’s a very good woman.” Midas approved, making Hinata grin smugly, her cheeks pink. “My wife… well, perhaps you’ll have the eet her, Akio-kun.” He copied the Japanese form of address. “She’s a wonderful woman, and always will be. Of course, if I was to gather as maies as you have, my wife would seek out a practitioner of juju and curse me with the thunderbolt, the Magun. Pardon the expression, but I would not stand strong ever again…”

  The men in the room, me included, all reflexively gnced down. Seeing that, his smile was wicked. “Anyway… I digress. I would be more than happy to speak of my needs, but first… why don’t our uests e out to join us?”

  So he did notice. I expected so… “Christina, Titan, no point being shy.” I sighed, and after a moment the big man Titan came out, wearing a ripped, sleeveless t-shirt, and shorts, all the better to intimidate with his powerful physique. Behind him Christina, still wearing her faded b coat as if it was armour, followed him, almost using him as a shield.

  “More Ameris, huh?” Midas narrowed his eyes. “You keep poor pany.”

  Christina fli that, looking guilty, an expression that didn’t lht on her. While I found her as in pursuing her research abhorrent, I did have a trace of sympathy for her current uainly and suffering, even if she brought it on herself by asking Haru to help her, even if she did it for stupid, self-tred reasons.

  “I admit to not being overly fond of the as of the Ameris. I’ve personally experienced what you have…” I said, and while he looked a little surprised, he nodded, uanding. “That’s not to say all Ameris are bad…” Christina and Titan sat, Titan grabbing a mug of beer, Christina taking some Amaru.

  “…in fact, I have a few Ameri friends.” Aliyah s that, but wisely said nothing. She wasn’t drinking, I noticed, which meant that she was still o. Ign her, I leaned forwards, my gaze stern as I fixed it on Midas. “Just like I don’t expect to hold everyone from Africa responsible for the as of Dino and Janco this afternoon. But… I expect it’s about them you’re here, isn’t it?”

  “You’re the man you are rumoured to be.” Midas agreed, helping himself to more liquor. “Yes, it’s as you suspect. Do you know much of what’s happening here in South Afrid the surrounding tries?”

  “To a certaient. Seeing the retionship between the groups of Chose by Nkosi, as well as Dino, and the way they freely e and go, even into private events full of the powerful men and women of the Afri ti, who would normally be urict prote… yeah, I have ahe Chosen of Africa are banding together and gathering power, aren’t they?”

  “As expected.” Midas cpped his hands together, impressed. “Yes. Uhe more… developed… oh how we hate that expression… tries of the far East and the West, we are less bound by the structures of authority. Like Nkosi and his longing for the old ways of the Xhosa, or Dino and his… more autocratic views on power. They are not the only groups, though many have beeroyed and subsumed iruggle. It takes pce below the surface, in what we call the Aral Land, but it has spilled out on occasion. I believe that the powerful here were sed only to the Ameris…” His expression was distasteful. “…in their uanding of this shift in our reality.”

  “Then Miss Lindiwe…” Mayumi-san mused. “…perhaps that expins why she repared to grasp at straws and take Akio-kun’s offer.”

  “We are rather short of healers here. If one was to be found, then fighting would intensify over him or her…” Midas agreed. “Then, I don’t take you for a healer, Akio-kun.” There’s something I ’t quite put my finger on…

  “I’m whatever I o be.” I shrugged. “Adapt or die, right?”

  “Adapt or die? Survival of the fittest, hmm? Yes, I agree. You have good insight.” Midas ughed, seemingly cheery. “The Chosen of Southern aern Africa all agree. Those that do not had little say in it. After all… destroying someone’s hold on the Aral Land gives great bes.” He searched my face for a rea, but not getting one, he shrugged. “I expect you know this. After your battles.”

  Seeing I wasn’t going to speak, he tinued. “They also agreed that nobody not from these nds would be permitted to ehe Aral Land here, nor cim any of it. History is a bitter guide. We will not let it be plundered by fners. So, if your task is here, then… you may find it difficult, without assistance. Even I am loathe to break reements, it will be… troublesome… but you have to give to receive.”

  “All I’m here for is an act of piety towards the God that e and his Pantheon.” I promised, not lying but not telling the whole truth. “But your needs…”

  “Quite. Well, it’s as you noticed. There’s a craing. Dino and his group have ged. I believe they have found some sort of treasure that alter them, or maybe some powerful practitioner of juju also blessed by the Gods. In any case… their attitudes and as have bee worrisome. But… I too sulted with someone, and I believe you are lio this mess, or at least help resolve it.”

  “Find out more, but don’t give much away…” Hinata mouthed, and I nodded. Before I could, Christina had been watg the pair of us closely, and face pale, she spoke up.

  “You’ve shaved your head retly, haven’t you?”

  Midas froze for a minute, before nodding. “Yes, I made a poor job of it. I was tired of beiered by you Ameris. My hair was always unusual, even from birth. My mother always used to call me her little golden boy. My wife… she loves it so much whenever I cut it, she has it woven into a scarf.” He reminisced fondly. “But it stands out, and akes dye. I was a sickly boy, my wife always having to take care of me, but now… well, now I am strong. One of the ironies of life.”

  Just like Shiro. I could tell Hinata agreed by her expression.

  “I see. And… another question.” Christina asked, after gng at me for approval. I nodded slightly, curious as to what she’d say, but also worried. “Your power. it make more than just gold? Other preetals? What about aal. Sodium, Caesium… Uranium? What about specific isotopes?”

  At her questions, Midas tensed up. He tried to pretend the question didn’t bother him, but I was watg him very closely, and I could see the minute ges in expression that betrayed him. “That is a very personal question, Miss…?”

  “Christina Bakker. Stist. I… am in charge of resear beings such as yourself for the Ameri gover.” she admitted, surprising everyone here.

  Midas bliaken aback, before he rubbed his poorly-shaved scalp, ughing in genuine shock. “You would say that in front of me? I am unsure of whether to be impressed or enraged.” He turo me. “You keep wretched pany.”

  “I won’t deny she’s rather unpleasant…” I tried to ighe way Christina looked somehow both crestfallen aed at my words. “…but in her own foolish way she’s trying to make some sort of amends. Her question… it’s iing though, isn’t it?”

  Midas scoffed. “And if I asked you about your strengths and weaknesses? Would you answer me so carelessly?”

  Hinata’s hand tightened on mine, her lips tugging into a smile, and I remembered how careless I used to be. I was still too carefree with information, but I had improved, no question. “That depends. But we’re not asking for your weaknesses. Simply a worry. A piece of Uranium or Plutonium the size of the leaf you created before would be.. dangerous. Sure, my physics is a bit rusty, but isn’t the critical mass of Plutonium around eleven kilograms? And it’s a deal. Wouldn’t take many leaves to make a devastating bomb… besides… even a little could be used as a devastating poison…”

  Christina nodded, and while I most certainly didn’t share Adam’s e those who had troubling powers, I did uand how devastating they could be. Although to be ho… Hyath is probably the most dangerous being I’ve met so far in terms of the threat to humanity… and that’s rgely my fault for pushing and training her in biological warfare…

  “And if I say yes, what will you do?” He grinned, no humour in it at all now. “Try and kill me? Sell me to Miss Christina here, to be experimented on… or no, I imagine I’d be tortured and forced to provide such for you Ameris.”

  “Adam wouldn’t do that. Too risky trying to trol you, no cell could hold you, if you simply transmute restraints and suchlike into soft, breakable metals like lead.” Christina disagreed. “I… might well have done. But then, it seems poor little Christina here has more inquisitivehan on sense.” She shrugged mournfully. “No, you know what Adam wants.”

  “As for me, I don’t believe that just because someone is powerful, they are automatically a danger.” I try not to be a hypocrite, although… I’ve already made many selfish choices. My retionships, Nie Ling and Na… even Tamamo-no-Mae… but so be it. “But I would be wanting t you onside. Not only to prevent dangers, but also to make use of your talents.”

  “Ierests of our brief alliance, let me assure you… I am not limited to gold, unlike Midas of old, but they must be treasures, preetals. No Uranium, Miss Christina. Not that you have any cause to believe me. Nor I any wish tive you. Thanks to your try and its efforts, my life, my wife… it has been hell. I am tempted to choke the life from you here and now. I dare say there is ample blood on your hands.”

  Christina g me then, and I shrugged. I likely check with my Eye, but that could cause him to bey enemy. Now isn’t the time for that… “Like I said, in her own way, she’s struggling to atone. And while if she died… I’d find it hard not to think it karma… she’s currently under my prote. So I’m afraid I’d have to stop you.”

  “You think you ?” he asked, his tone quiet, and I nodded.

  “I think so. So set that aside. We were talking about what you want from me?”

  “It is as I intimated. A number of our brothers and sisters have… ged. I would have your aid iigating them, and potentially… dealing with the source.” he replied.

  “In principle, I’m not opposed. I’ve e across simir in South Korea, and rooting that out is only natural, and to everyone’s be. But… firstly, if I’m not allowed entrao the Aral Land, as you call it, I’m not sure what help I be. Sedly, I’m on a tight schedule. I have a day or two at the most.”

  “For the Hero of Britain, surely that is suffit. Didn’t you save London in a day?” he tered, and I shrugged.

  “As for the issue of the Aral Land… I carry some sway in Africa. While it upsets me I must ask this of you… and it will put me in a difficult spot, I no lorust Dino’s group. And there are others ging too… not everyone is a stubborn hardhead like Nkosi, unwilling to promise. In time, it will all spiral out of trol, I’m sure.”

  “I see. That’s reasonable. So… where would we start?” I asked.

  “I’ve done some iigating. It seems… the source of the troubles are in southern Botswana. Near a small vilge, called…” As he , Hinata and I exged a grying to keep our expressions posed.

  ce? It ’t be. That was where the Oracle Engine and Yasaka-san had narrowed down the remains of one of my fellow Norse Chosen to be. “I see. In that case… yes, I spare some time.”

  “It souing!” Mayumi-san decred, eager, having listeo the talk with bright eyes. “When do we go?”

  “We don’t.” I denied her, and she pouted, and when she was going to object I raised a hand to forestall her. “This isn’t a game, Mayumi-san. Holy, I’m a bit wary of taking Hinata, but this is a learning experience for her, and I’m fident of proteg her. Actually, I don’t want to take Kazumi-saher…”

  “You have to!” Kazumi-san implored. “I am Hinata’s bodyguard and friend. I don’t mind dying, so long as I see her safe…”

  “That’s a failure as a bodyguard.” I shook my head. “You don’t just guard their body, but their hearts too. Your death would wound Hinata’s heart badly. But… I sympathise. You’re trying to find your path to the power you need.”

  “It’s rough.” Aliyah spoke up slowly. “Women have it hard. Especially in this pany. But you’re you. I’m not going to call you a kid… you’ve been a professional for years, even if not like Trey or me were. But… Akiht. Dying sounds noble, but it’s the fug end, get it? Sure, you may go out satisfied, but what about those left behind, and what about ime, when you ain’t there? Got it? Live to fight another day.”

  “Akio and I are trying to think of a way, Kazumi.” Hinata promised. She was unwilling to say more here, in unknown pany, but we had sidered our options. If Hinata had a Favour, she could take some Territory and gift Kazumi-san a Throne slot. It was a bit of a waste, but eventually we’d start having more and more Thrones avaible. Other ideas were simirly pusible, yet with their own unique fws.

  “Yes, Mayumi, you o remain behind.” Ichijou-san said gently. “Besides, would you leave busio me alone? And I wao spend time with you on this trip.”

  “That’s right. Besides…” Hinata knew how to handle Mayumi-san, it seemed, as her words fired her up. “You keep bragging about how we’re in busiogether. Don’t just work for Ichijou house, you have t profits to our pany! Prove you’re better than me, if you !”

  “Just see if I don’t!” Mayumi-san took the bait, being self-fident and eager for a petition. Hinata gave me a hidden thumbs-up, and then Christina spoke too.

  “I’ll e, though.” she said, and I shook my head.

  “No way, it’s not safe, and you’re another non-batant. Besides…” I g Midas, who had good reason to hate her.

  “I know. But… if I go, you bring Titan. For… insurance.” she reasoned. “I also… it’s as you said. I’m a fool, and if I die, perhaps it is my just desserts? It would also make a mockery of my efforts, although… others will take up my mantle, and prevent my data being a cruel waste. But… I am inquisitive, knowledgeable, and one of the fi stists alive. My knowledge would be helpful!”

  “These women have no use. They ot ehe Aral nd…” Midas began, but I shook my head.

  “Since you shared with me, I’ll share with you. As it happens I bring a number of people with me. It won’t be an issue.” I dissembled, being about as ho as I suspected Midas was, without actually lying. After all, he’s no fool.

  “Don’t bme me if something bad happens to her…” he gred, and I shrugged.

  “You heard her. I disagree and think it’s a mistake, but… I’m not going to stop her fr to make amends, even if it’s mispced. Besides…” Having Titan with us might well be helpful. So, me, Adelheid and Titan… we won’t be beaten easily… Though Hinata otential weakness, leaving her here worried me too.

  “Fi’s a long jouro the border, we should prepare…” Midas said, standing and finishing his gss of alcohol.

  “Our helicopter is ready, with a refuelling location halfway already anised.” Ichijou-san advised, and that surprised Midas a little, but he quickly recovered.

  “Excellent. I see time is of the essence. But… you wanted me to help you with a religious observation, no? you eborate?”

  “While we’re on route. We’ll be in the air a number of hours.”

  As he agreed, I pulled Aliyah and Treyvon to one side while everyone else was making ready. “I’m trusting you pair to take care of things here.” I lowered my voice, making sure nobody was listening. “I know it seems odd, when we have two Chosen, but…”

  ‘”I get you. Fug paper tigers, both of them.” Aliyah snorted sourly, hair beads king as she shook her head.

  “I wouldn’t be so rude, green, I’d say. They’ve got whatever unnatural strength they gained, but… no bat experierey agreed with her.

  “Green as grass, or your piss after a night on cocktails, Trey.” Aliyah scoffed. “Don’t worry, she’s an annoying bitch, that Mayumi girl, so full of herself, never had any hardship or misfortune, but… we’ll keep her and her granddaddy out of trouble.”

  “Just you… I guess I don’t o say, but… keep those girls safe. No more repeats of Kyoto, all right?” Trey warned, and I grinned as I saw he included Adelheid in his gaze.

  “Yeah. I’m prepared. And ready for anything.”

  “See that you are.” Aliyah pounded my back with her big hand. “We will be too.” She then patted her clothes, where a number of hidden ons were. “Shit, it’d be better if nothing goes down, and we make it out without any fuck-ups, but if not… at least the rat will be happy that we’ve given his oys a workout. Don’t worry…” She g the pair of paper tigers whuarding Ichijou-san and Mayumi-san. “…if they are green fucks like this pair, us being weaker and slower won’t mean jack shit. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but…”

  “…the dog that goes for the throat, and has an assortment of damn good ons.” Treyvon grinned, rather handsomely.

  “I’m not sure that’s how the saying goes…” I snickered. “But yeah. It’s harsh, but the Chosen are paid to guard, so make sure you save Ichijou-san and the other two first…”

  “Roger that! Like you I’m always up for saving cute girls.” Aliyah smirked. “Now get going. I don’t envy you. There’s something about old Midas here that doesn’t sit right with me. You agree, Trey?”

  “I… don’t know. He doesn’t seem malicious, but… yeah, he’s hiding something.” Trey agreed. “If I had more time, he’d be someone I’d like to have a few drinks with, get to know him better, but…”

  “He’s got a wife Trey, he ain’t going to go for you…” Aliyah teased, and as they bickered, I o myself. Obviously. He wants something from me, and he knows far more about me than I’d like. Someone like Yasaka-san, maybe? He did say someone informed him about me. With those thoughts in mind, we finished up and headed for the helicopter, knowing that Aliyah and Trey would move everyone back to our prior hotel, when they were sure the area was clear of watchers…

  ***

  The helicopter ride was long, and we had refuelled in the middle, but we were closing in on the border. Initially, the atmosphere had been a bit frosty, Christina trying to ighe harsh gres from Midas. She had tried to ingratiate herself with me, in her usual clumsy way, but it definitely seemed that her behaviour was more… fragile, uhan before. If she’s learned some empathy from Haru’s sharing of memories that would be a good thing, but… it’s also oddly… wrong to me. Like she’s not herself. Maybe that’s a good thing…

  After Hinata stepped in with a cold smile to prevent her flirting with me, Hinata took over, seeming to take pleasure in denying her. I tried not to see or hear the way it made Christina flush and pant though.

  Adelheid was rexed, actually falling asleep, though she did warn me in German not to let my guard down, and to keep an eye on her safety. Meanwhile, Titan was on high alert, and so was Kazumi-san, though she watched with a fond expression as I flirted with Hinata.

  “So, will you share with me yious obligation now?” Midas asked, having remained rgely silent for most of the trip. “After all, we are approag our destination. And there is a time for hoy if we are going to help each other.”

  Hinata moved in my embrace, and I uood.

  “Of course. Well, I had a realisation, perhaps you might call it a vision… anyway, I am aware that a fellow Chosen of the Norse Pantheon has perished in Botswana, and I o retrieve their remains, and it them to their God.” I kept my vision on Midas, and was sorely tempted to use my Eye to observe him, masking the glow with aether, but I had a feeling he’d detect that.

  “I see.” He seemed only slightly curious. “Quite a ce then. Perhaps our cooperation was fated.”

  “Perhaps…” I agreed, as the helicopter cut through the Afri skies, heading for its destination, where I had a feeling there would be more waiting than I had anticipated. Damn, so much for a nice, simple retrieval job. I had hoped this one would be simple, but who knew retrieving the Chosen of Thor’s body from America is shaping up to be less trouble…
