We find that we have 85% ammo in aircraft (wasted some on cows during last journey) which will last us two more encounters.

Pressing Ta'Shaa Ker for info on next mission, it seems that Dublin Cathedral is monsterous edifice disappearing into the clouds, deep in Invictus Illuminati territory, yet we must devise a way of retreiving a device from it. Invictus probably don’t know what the device is, but they seem to know it’s value since they store it Dublin Cathdral. Physically it is a cube, with a control pad and an electrical port in the side.

We deliberate for ages how to obtain it; considering the following possibilities:

1. Visiting -::- Quick snatch with Star Wars “trench run” approach up Dublin streets.

2. Visiting -::- Conduct “heist” while posing as pilgrims worshipping in cathedral.

3. Remote -::- Bribe a minister who works within the cathedral.

4. Remote -::- Kidnap a high-ranking official elsewhere in enemy territory.

We decided to visit and consult with a former Isle of Man resident who opted to leave two years ago when the IoM was invaded. He lives in a suburb of Edinburgh, in a ghetto of Isle of Man refugees. He has a goat and chickens and is a craftsman. He used to be a knight; now is preparing his own suit of armour in order to re-enter that profession. He gave us some background info [now incorporated into Invictus Illuminati page!] but had nothing new on how to tackle them.

We left Edinburgh and flew out to the North Sea, but after 45 minutes we were soon attacked by submersible flying machine!! We defeated this with dextrous flying and missile operation.

Passing over coast near Grimsby, ground forces appeared to have been expecting us and were moving to intercept us! Hard manouvering caused injury to the frail Ta'Shaa Ker, and our medic Seth Mauve discovered that Ta'Shaa is a Fraal!

We limped home to Belvoir Castle.

In response to our debrief, a team was despatched north in an APC to pillage the wreck we shot down (it had crashed into the coast).

I led an R&D team to enhance (1) Communication (2) air-to-air warning and defence (3) stealth technologies. We’re told that Victoria has already been sent out on a diplomatic to Bryn Bras Castle.
