Scene One: The Savoy Hotel Upon returning to their Hotel Savoy the team gathers in the lobby. The Germans have imposed martial law and shut down the city after the bomb went off at the Karl Marx ceremony. The rest of the Nazi-Soviet Friendship Celebrations are officially cancelled. As they entered the lobby they receive an urgent coded message at the front desk. Captain Chance quickly deciphers it. American and Free British commandos are raiding a German Atomic lab at Bringle sands. The OSS wants your help capturing equipment and scientists there before the Germans can defend it. This is your "Extraction" point. Get there tonight by Midnight. The team now had a Choice: Go with the US ranger and Free British commandos take the Atomic Lab at Bringle Sands and help slow the Germans in building an Atom bomb. Or Meet up at the St George hospital to aid the SOE resistance to aid the King in escaping the country. Or Get on the URSS Moskva and Save “M”

Scene Two: Chase the Skyfurnace
The Moskva is 125 mph which is luckily over the stall speed for the JU88C that Bar is flying for the team. The Bar flies the night fighter up and stations it under the starboard bow hanger door, which is partly open (Air flow?) Commander MacTaggart casts an invisibility spell and the team climbs out the dorsal canopy and into the Skyship.

The team debates on the best course of action on how to board a "Zeppelin" Like Air Ship in flight and at night. (It's now 420pm and the sun has just set.) The team missed their perception rolls because from behind an over stuffed high back chair a man in a German Luftwaffe officer uniform stands up and says in rather German accented "You just have to fly up next to it and jump on". The man is German Fighter Ace: Lt Heinrich Bar The Team is silent for a moment and then the man continues. "We meet last week at Croydon Airport while the Luftwaffe shows off is newest and best Aircraft"? "We were gossiping about the German and Russian Air forces? remember I told you about how Germany is planning a 100 ship Zeppelin force because the Soviet Sky Furnaces have Goring worried. And that Germany is planning rolling out “Rocket Planes” next year. Any way I'm not going to turn you in, I'm going to help you. Remember the Ju-88C? The one we had for demonstrations last Monday? Its still here and I can have it ready to go in 30 minutes, what do you say?" "Why help us?" Aspen asks. "Same reason I gave you information on the Luftwaffe, I may be a German but I'm no NAZI. and I also dislike the Communists, I'm a Junker you see. So as you Americans like to speak, 'What do ya say?" The Team decides to except his offer. 30 minutes later they are in the air in a JU-88C chasing down a Soviet Sky Battleship in the twilight.
