Jordan bowed her head and stared at her toes again, a bit embarrassed to have been forgotten, but glad she accomplished her task. She looked up through her eyelashes and spoke quietly. "Hello. Nice to meet you, sir." ***************************************** Date: 12/04/02 08:35:18 PM Name: Nancy RP: Fox Mulder Subject: {RP, Ep3} "Hello, Jordan," Fox Mulder smiled at the girl. "It's nice to meet you too. I've heard a lot about you." After a moment he sat on the bed next to her. "What you got there?" He picked up the tabloid and read the article on the dog-eared page. Then he read it again. Nibbled on a few sunflower seeds. Looked at the others around him. "I'd say it's time for a little trip to England. What do you think?" ***************************************** Date: 12/05/02 05:29:37 PM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: {RP, Ep3} > "Hello, Jordan," Fox Mulder smiled at the girl.

She looked between this new man, a dark stranger, and the men she knew. She assumed they all knew what was going on and, not wanting to be a bother, just didn't ask what was happening. She retreated to the back of the bed. ***************************************** Date: 12/07/02 09:14:41 PM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} > "I'd say it's time for a little trip to England.

Jordan watched the two grown men scamper out of the main room to smaller rooms, and could hear them searching through boxes, bags and piles.

She didn't want to be a bother. Quietly, she stood and started to gather her few belongings. She figured they'd just drop her off at a park or something, maybe a shelter. It made her sad to think she'd be leaving the only person she'd met and trusted so far, but she didn't want to get in their way. ***************************************** Date: 12/11/02 05:09:48 AM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} > She shook her head and kept her lips closed.

Jordan was aware, again, that she was probably putting a strain on them. "You don't need to do that... I... I'm sure I'd make it." She continued to protest, hoping and praying they'd take her with them. ***************************************** Date: 12/14/02 08:17:51 PM Name: RA RP: Vladimir Tchikov Subject: RP EP3 Vlad stirred as a familiar ringing brought him to consciousness. He looked at his watch 8:30. After a little sleep induced trouble he answered the phone. "Tchikov" "Agent Tchikov, This is Skinner," Vladamir sat up immediately alert. "How can I help you this morning" Vlad was a little annoyed at himself for sounding so overzealous. But as he listened to the silence that held for a second on the other side of the line his irritation melted and became curiosity. "What do you know about Stonehenge?" Vlad took a moment to collect his thoughts. "Well, it's a megalithic monument on the Salisbury plane in southern England comprised of 30 upright stones each over 10 feet tall and weighing approximately 26 tons, in a circle with 6 ton stones atop of them, shaped by stone tools. Built between 5000 and 3000 years ago they observe the equinoxes and solstices. The lore of these structures is vast and" Skinner cut him off " OK I get it your familiar with the site. Ge a bag packed your on the 12:45 flight to England" "What am i supposed to do there?" Skinner slowly responded "There's been an peculiar missing persons report filed out of there i want you to check it out, as a tourist of course we have no jurisdiction over there but you should be able to find some cooperative people to assist you" 'At Stonehenge? 'Vlad questioned. "Yes" "Is there any past precedent to this or a pattern?" "Just get out there" Skinner replied "someone will fill you in later. Your degree in Anthropology might allow you access to some people that might know more about this situation" With that the line went dead. Vlad put away his phone and washed his face , he then packed enough clothes for 3 days change and checked his weapon to make sure it was in tiptop shape. That done he then returned it to its resting place beneath his left shoulder, then he packed the rest of the items he might need toiletries and a couple of extra clips. Glancing at his watch he realized it was 10:00. "good " he thought "gives me time to pick up a couple of books on Stonehenge and crop circles" with that he was out the door suitcase in one hand and passport in the other. After picking out 1 promising title on Stonehenge and 2 on crop cirlcles. Vladamir arrived at the airport and passed through security with no problems. Then he waited to board his flight to England, all the while reading one of the 2 books he picked up on anomalous activities in the crops near Stonehenge. ***************************************** Date: 12/15/02 07:37:58 PM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: {RP, Ep3} Langly appeared beside them, holding two hard plastic suitcases. "Are two laptops going to be enough?" "Probably." "Cool. All our good peripherals are in there too. Even the emergency generator." He set the cases down on the floor. "Is she packed yet? I don't wanna waste any time checking out that fifty-third stone." ***************************************** Date: 12/15/02 08:21:17 PM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} > Langly appeared beside them, holding two > hard plastic suitcases.

She continued to switch from looking at her shoes to her hands to the suitcases and back. ***************************************** Date: 12/16/02 11:28:01 PM Name: Nancy RP: Fox Mulder Subject: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) Fox Mulder said he'd meet them at the airport and left. Then he dialed Scully's number on his cell phone. ***************************************** Date: 12/21/02 08:31:10 AM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) Langly hauled out two of his own band-sticker-covered bags, presumably full of t-shirts and jeans. "I'm ready to go. Hurry up, guys." As Byers and Frohike departed to pack their own bags, Langly handed Jordan a small duffel bag. "I put some clothes and stuff in here for you," he said. "It's not very much, but it's a start. And you get to wear a pair of Frohike's pajamas -- they're clean, so they shouldn't have old man smell, but we'll see." ***************************************** Date: 12/21/02 10:14:03 AM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) > As Byers and Frohike departed to pack > their own bags, Langly handed Jordan a > small duffel bag.

Jordan nodded and smiled widely at his comment about old man smell, then bowed her head down. "Thanks, Ringo. I really appreciate all this... " She felt a little odd accepting all this from him. "I'm really indebted... I don't know where I'd be without you." She continued to stare at her shoes, then looked up. "So, are we flying?" ***************************************** Date: 12/25/02 03:51:39 PM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) > "I'm really indebted... I don't know where I'd be without you." Langly blushed deep red. Sentiment was not his strong suit. > She continued to stare at her shoes, then looked up. > "So, are we flying?" "Yep. As soon as they're ready to go." Byers and Frohike emerged as if on cue, Byers carrying a smart-looking set of matching luggage and Frohike loaded down with two bulging, well-aged leather bags. "Can we go, then?" Langly asked, rearranging his bags so he could pick up the suitcases containing their electronics too. "They'll make us turn all this crap on so they know we're not trying to check bombs, and I wanna eat before we board." Frohike rolled his eyes. "Okay, okay." After turning all the lights off and making sure all eight of the security locks on both doors had been locked, they piled their bags in the van's spacious back seat and took off for the airport nearest to Takoma Park. ***************************************** Date: 12/26/02 08:09:09 AM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) Jordan watched Byers and Frohike emerge with their bags and suitcases, and picked up the duffle bag leant to her by Ringo. She Followed them out to a van and stood, confused, as they started to load it with bags and suitcases. ***************************************** Date: 12/28/02 03:58:53 PM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) Cramming the last of the bags into the back, Langly piled into the backseat of the van. Frohike had unanimously been chosen as the driver, and Byers had long since called shotgun. Langly claimed a window seat and patted the seat next to him, indicating a place for Jordan to sit. Byers eyed Frohike suspiciously. "Are you sure you know exactly where to go?" "Yes, mother." Frohike said testily. They'd had this argument before, obviously. "He got us lost the first time we drove to the D.C. airport," Langly explained, sensing Jordan might be lost. "'Ask for directions,' I said. 'The dashboard compass says we're going north instead of south,' Byers said. But no. We were in, like, Vermont before he turned around." "Punk-ass," Frohike grumbled, changing lanes. As they drove on toward the Baltimore/Washington International Airport, Byers turned to face Langly. "We should have a game plan for when we get there. The computers will have to be our carry-ons if we want to check our clothes. Langly, you and I will stay behind to turn everything on and off for the screeners." Langly nodded. "Yeah, okay." "And Jordan, you'll stay with Frohike. In case Langly and I are detained, we don't want them to think you need to be searched more thoroughly too, OK?" ***************************************** Date: 12/28/02 09:01:58 PM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) > Cramming the last of the bags into the back, > Langly piled into the backseat of the van. > Frohike had unanimously been chosen as the driver, > and Byers had long since called shotgun. Langly > claimed a window seat and patted the seat next to > him, indicating a place for Jordan to sit. Jordan climbed into the van and sat down, smiling at Ringo and giggling at the argument between Byers and Frohike. She nodded at the story of Frohike getting lost, and could sort of relate. She was feeling lost, tossed and turned in the new world. She wondered why she'd left in the first place, wondered what possessed her to leave the monks, to try and make her way in the world. She looked back at Ringo and smiled, thanking the stars that she'd found a trustworthy friend. She heard Byers say her name. > "And Jordan, you'll stay with Frohike. In > case Langly and I are detained, we don't > want them to think you need to be searched > more thoroughly too, OK?" She nodded, not entirely sure why he would worry about that but trusting his judgment, as he seemed like an intelligent, down-to-earth person. ***************************************** Date: 12/30/02 12:08:42 PM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) They approached the airport and Frohike drove effortlessly into the long-term parking garage, much to the delight of the other Gunmen. The three of them bailed out of the van; Byers handed Jordan her bag, and the rest of the bags destined to be checked were loaded onto someone's abandoned plastic cart. Byers looked around. No sign of their Fibbie pal. "Does anyone see Mulder anywhere?" ***************************************** Date: 12/30/02 05:33:31 PM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) > The three of them bailed out of the van; > Byers handed Jordan her bag, and the rest > of the bags destined to be checked > were loaded onto someone's abandoned > plastic cart. Jordan took her bag and smiled at Byers shyly, thanking him. He reminded her of a father-figure type, and she was drawn to him for security. Frohike seemed like someone you could trust and depend on, and she liked that. Ringo, or Langly as she heard the others call him, came off as a friend, someone she could talk to. Truth be told, she sorta had a crush on him. But she wouldn't tell them... > Byers looked around. No sign of their > Fibbie pal. "Does anyone see Mulder anywhere?" Jordan looked around and shook her head. "Did he mention where he'd meet us." She bowed her head and blushes. "Rather, you guys." ***************************************** Date: 12/31/02 03:47:14 PM Name: RA RP: Vladimir Tchikov Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) > "Does anyone see Mulder anwhere?" Upon Hearing Mulders name Tchikov glanced up from the book on crop circles in the Salisbury Plains area and looked in the direction in which the inquiry came. A Organized well dressed gentleman seemed to be questioning two, well somewhat less organized looking men and a younger lady, Mulder, Vlad mused that that wasn't too common a name and given the circumstances, the fact he'd just been asked to unofficially look into something in England well at the very least it seemed quite coincidental to him, he'd been given several copies of former and ongoing cases and had read a little bit on this Mulder. He new enough to know he liked the mans passion and righteous ideologies but he hadn't been able to talk to the man nor Agent Scully since their initial meeting, Vlad finally broke his train of thought and realized he was staring at these 4 individuals, a little upset with himself he went back to his reading material but kept an eye and ear on the party approximately 10 to 12 feet away from his location. He resolved not to get caught up in his conspiratorial conjecture until he boarded the plane no reason speculate on the destination nor the motives of anyone before that point. ***************************************** Date: 01/1/03 07:35:25 PM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) "Well, we're probably not going to find him in here," Frohike said, looking around at the rows of cars. "Maybe we should go wait for him inside. We can at least sit down for a couple minutes." Langly nodded. "Works for me." He smiled slyly at Jordan. "Shall we adjourn to the waiting area, m'lady? ***************************************** Date: 01/2/03 07:38:49 AM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) > "Well, we're probably not going to find > him in here," Frohike said, looking around > at the rows of cars.

"God, this thing weighs a ton," Langly grumbled. "Are you going to complain all the way through England?" Frohike asked, shooting him a dirty look. ***************************************** Date: 01/2/03 09:25:52 AM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Title ;) > Frohike and Langly began to push the > cart toward the airport entrance while > keeping an eye out for Mulder, with > Byers and Jordan in tow. Jordan watched Frohike and Langly push the cart and talk from behind. She was very curious, looking around, as she'd never been in an airport before. > "God, this thing weighs a ton," Langly grumbled. > > "Are you going to complain all the way > through England?"

He really was a pretty > incredible guy. Langly smiled back at her, cheerfully playing the gentleman. Finally, someone that laughed with him instead of at him. If he could teach her to play Dungeons & Dragons... well, now he was just dreaming, but anything was possible. None of them noticed Tchikov's presence as they pushed the heavy cart into the airport. Since he didn't have to push the bags, Byers kept an eye out for Mulder or Scully. Langly tried to decide which class Jordan's character would probably be, visions of magic-users, clerics, and thieves dancing in his head. Frohike found himself having to support more than his share of the weight, but decided not to press the issue since he'd be stuck in a small, foreign hotel room with his geeky companion for who knew how long. The Gunmen, their new friend, and their mountain of bags were inside the revolving door at the airport entrance when Langly suddenly stopped short. "Oh, god!" Frohike leaned on the bags, exhausted. "What now?" "We're IDIOTS! We're taking a minor to a foreign country, and we didn't get her a passport!" Groans all around. Langly turned to Jordan, silent pleading in his eyes. "Please, please tell me you went to Central America or something sometime. We can fake the stamp if we have to." ***************************************** Date: 01/04/03 08:02:51 PM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Tit > "We're IDIOTS!

"Please, please > tell me you went to Central America or something > sometime. We can fake the stamp if we have to." Jordan smiled. Finally, something she could pull through on. Pulling a passport out of her coat, she beamed. "I went to France last year with... with the people I used to live with. I have a passport." ***************************************** Date: 01/05/03 02:59:44 PM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For It's Own Langly looked it over.

She saw a man and woman with a small child smiling and laughing, and it made Jordan feel her lack of family a bit more. Shaking her head and looking at Langly, she smiled. She was with friends now. ***************************************** Date: 01/5/03 05:44:01 PM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep3} Too Short For Frohike slumped in one of the chairs in the waiting area, and Byers sat down next to him, still scanning the airport for any sign of Mulder and Scully. Langly carefully parked the luggage cart next to Frohike and pondered his food choices. "Yep, I'm going with pizza," he said finally, checking his worn nylon wallet to make sure he could afford to eat. He looked at Jordan.

Byers sighed and got up, taking his time as he made his way through the crowd of travelers toward the phone. Feeding the machine Langly's hard-earned change, he dialed Mulder's cell number.

"We're going to go pick them up, and now that we don't have to wait for him anymore we can go ahead and get the security checkpoints over with too and go to our gate." The three Gunmen fished out their own passports and driver's licenses and wheeled their luggage over to the check-in desk, all slapping their ID down on the counter simultaneously. Rattling off their names for the overworked airport employee behind the counter, they claimed the four tickets and checked the bags containing their clothes.

Byers and Langly pushed buttons and flicked switches for the security guards, explaining everything to both the airport personnel and Jordan. "That big thing is our power generator," Langly said, pointing to the biggest piece of equipment in the suitcase. "And this is our GPS unit." He picked up an ivory-colored piece of equipment that vaguely resembled an iron, plugged it into the generator, and turned it on. "This is a portable scanner." Byers continued to show the other security guard, a hulking Skinner-esque mountain, Langly's precious laptop and the various peripherals that went with it. ***************************************** Date: 02/15/03 09:38:01 AM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep 3} 02-06-03 After they'd finished showing off their equipment to the guards, they were finally let through security.

He fell in behind the small group he'd observed earlier, staying about 15 feet behind them. There was 3 possibilities as he saw it; One, they were merely heading the general direction of his gate. Two, they were going to England but on a holiday or some such thing unconnected to his business. Or three, they were going on a related reason. And if the latter of the three was the case, as he was beginning to suspect more strongly, he knew it would do no good to have them suspicious of him whether they be friend or foe. He decided the situation at this point was Tuetonical and slowed his pace, dropping back another 5 feet and increasing the gap between him and the other party to a total of 20 feet. ***************************************** Date: 02/20/03 08:52:22 PM Name: Jan RP: NPC Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep 3} 02-06-03 "C-9."

"I've never flown before," she said, a bit worried about how she, and her body, would react. It wasn't long before the plane was moving across the runway. She strained to see the people moving and driving across the pavement. She watched the plane lift off, gradually moving away from the ground and buildings, past the control tower... climbing into the clouds... They were leveling off when Jordan felt a bit sick. Seeing the seatbelt light turn off, she unbuckled herself and stood up. "Pardon me, Frohike, the take off got to my head, I think. I'm just gonna step into the bathroom." Excusing herself, she moved towards the back of the plane. ***************************************** Date: 02/22/03 11:48:36 PM Name: RA RP: Vladimir Tchikov Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep 3} 02-06-03 After the slow herding of the passengers onto the airplane, Vlad settled back in his seat and non-chalantly listened to the stewardess rattle off the perfunctory instructions. A few moments after takeoff he noticed the young lady of the group he observed earlier walking down the narrow aisle with a not so healthy looking complexion plaguing her face. He smiled sympathetically, closed his eyes and allowed himself to drift off into a different state of consciousness, between awareness and blissful oblivion. ***************************************** Date: 02/23/03 06:07:13 PM Name: Viki RP: Jordan Yorba Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: {RP, Ep 3} 02-06-03 A few moments later, Jordan emerged from the bathroom feeling a lot better. She looked to her right and noticed a man she'd seen in the airport a few times while they were waiting for Mulder. She made her way back to her seat and sat down. "It's funny how when you notice someone you see them everywhere, isn't it? For example, this guy in the back of the plane... I must have seen him like, eight times in the airport." She settled down into her seat.

"Ok, meet me at the information terminal in area C. You can brief me later." She clicked off the phone with a shaky sigh. The specifics weren't really important, she'd been with Mulder long enough to recognize the tonal qualities of his dialect. He wasn't exuberant, but more resolved, and since there had been a lull in activity recently, a trip to England wouldn't do them a disservice. To tell the truth, she relished a new challenge after a static period of paperwork. Grabbing her overnight bag and laptop, she dashed out the door and hailed a taxi. -0-0-0- Scully shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other, not at all looking forward to enduring the extensive security measures that were now commonplace in air travel. It didn't matter much anyway, and was out of her hands.

Clark also though about CSM, the man was just as aware as Skinner but he had so much to loose if Clark was arrested. So that left Hannesey, but Hannesey was dead, Clark had seen to that before he escaped, so the only thing that could link him to the "Niederlender" was the four laptop computers that was hidden in the house of his alias, John Farris, and even that might be hard to prove as John Farris didn't exist... ...

People walked by, on their way somewhere. A woman carrying two suitcases bumped into Scully and said "excuse me." Mulder continued, "Recently wrote an article about hidden government documents, for which she won an award from The Horizon Foundation, an organization that, as far as I can tell, does not exist."

He toyed with the lighter, pretending to be extremely disinterested. "They'll never use it." "We don't know that. It could be that they've used it many times already. How would we remember an alternate universe if we didn't exist in it?" Another of the elder gentlemen said, "We just want to stop the aliens, make the stones useless. And make it look like an accident." Another said, "Even if they realize it wasn't an accident, it's a strong weapon that we need to take away from them." CSM dropped the Morley in an Austrian crystal ashtray. "It's being taken care of."

Beneath the pile was the Lone Gunman issue with Nittany's article and some reference books about paranormal events related to Stonehenge - well, *he* considered them reference books, anyway. Scully, he thought, would consider them something else. He studied one of the news articles about Nittany's disappearance, looking for clues, waiting for the others to arrive. ***************************************** Date: 06/3/03 09:33:43 PM Name: Jan RP: Ringo Langly Subject: Re: {RP, Ep 3} Under the Moon Gilgamesh, carrying the Gunmen and their equipment (which had all miraculously made it past airport security) rolled into the Stonehenge carpark at 11:27. Langly and Frohike became visible first; both wore outfits that could only be described as appropriate for "funky poaching." Langly held a heavy MagLite flashlight in one hand, ready to pierce the English night. After locking up the blue and white monstrosity to prevent its being stolen, Byers came into view a few feet behind them. *****************************************
