*A bellboy arrives at Yank's room and knocks on the door. He is holding a tray of complimentary iced lemonade and native biscuits. There is also a letter tucked under the plate. It is unaddressed and is a cheap envelope*

[Bellboy]: Compliments of the hotels sir. We apologise for your fan, however maintenance will be arriving within the next day or so to fix it. We thank you for your cooperation in this matter. A gentleman has sent this letter for you, with a welcome to the town and he hopes that you will enjoy your stay.

*Bellboy leaves, having placed the tray on the chest of drawers*

*Wanders over to the hotel*

*Checks over only weapon, his trusty Psion Palm Top Multi-tool; PC , phone, GPS, camera, binoculars, cyanide pellet shooter, electronic lock-pick, and if you stick it on the wall like this it shows you how big the room is, Oh and sub-sonic sleep inducer (Apparently it reads its own manual on a subliminal level until anyone in range glazes over and nods off)*

*Goes to the front desk of the hotel, inquiers about open rooms, rents a room, inquires as to the location of the other members rooms.*

*Bellboy knocks on Skullock's door and presents him with a tray of complimentary iced lemonade, some native biscuits, and a cheap envelope tucked under the plate*

He tosses it anyway.~~~~~Never drink from an opened container right~~~~~~~~The plan yes hmmm Skull and I do the snatch and grap think on herr Prof. Chemist does the God spot thing.

I came in on the red-eye. I can see my disguise is too good.

*the envelope sits around on the tray looking cheap and shoddy but determined to fulfill its destiny of being read*

I've worked hard to get this cheap and shoddy look, don't call me an envelope.

*Finishes shower gets dressed, and views apon the envelop with caution. Holds it up to the 40 watt dirty light bulb to see if there is anything mucking about in there. Dimly satified that there's nothing unsavoury in the envelop he opens said envelop* Hmm I see a few sribblings but not much to look at. Well time to hit the pub. I hope they buy the unscrubulous business man ruse. That's me best though to obtain the nessesary transportion problems taken care of.

*A yacht docks at a harbour in a smallish village. The man who comes ashore is wearing a bright shirt, sunglasses, and three-quaterlength trousers. He has a camera around his neck and takes pictures of most things he sees that are interesting. The villagers take him to be another tourist. After looking around the village he hires a taxi and heads for the nearest town, saying he wants to sleep in a proper bed for a night.*
*arriving in town the man goes into a hotel and checks the guest listing when no one is watching the books. He then goes up stairs to a room and knocks on the door*

*Upon being opened the envelope reveals a single sheet of thick carbon paper, contradictory to the cheap envelope. On it in flowing script is the following:

"Dear agents,

Welcome to Africa. We hope that you enjoy your stay in the town and take the opportunity to sample the exquisite local food. Our employee will be delighted to meet you I think. We are charmed by your amateur capabilities and are fully hoping to gain great entertainment when we finally make contact. Whilst you are here, try the fish soup, it's wonderful.

Yours sincerely

Comms check, nothing to report.

Sorry I took so long, the lift was out.
