WHAT || The Knights arrive at the Las Vegas facility...
WHERE || SHIELD HQ (The Harbor), a desert location near Las Vegas, NV
WHEN || March 2018
HOW || Actionspam

The acting Heads of the Knighthood - Hasmed and Solace - have made a decision that is not easy for many. Given the terrible state of everything happening in America, they've decided to relocate operations entirely to the States, and have secured a facility vaguely near Las Vegas: agreeing to work alongside the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization to find a way to take down Blade. It is certainly possible, with the grim missions that lie before them, that many, or all, of the Knights may never return. Reactions to the announcement are certain to be strong, but it's time to choose what they will bring with them to their new life - and for some, to decide if it's a journey they can bring themselves to take.

Most of the facility is underground, and the Knights are each granted badges that will act as keycards to get them into the barracks area that has been sequestered for them in its own building (called the Enclave), as well as to access the other rooms that are open to their use. It is more or less similar to this, but scaled up in size to account for the larger numbers of people housed on base. There are separate buildings on the base compound for the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (The Sanctuary) and for those members of Hellsing (The Bulwark) who have relocated as well. The entire compound itself is referred to collectively as "The Harbor". Peter Fargason will continue to run training drills daily, attempting to mold the Knights into a more efficient combat unit, and Hasmed, Solace, Koraith, Dovan, and Lis'sa will continue to assign missions to members of the Knighthood, ostensibly aimed towards slowing the tide of monsters and evil doers heading to Los Angeles and protecting Shadowkind in America from the "war on Shadowkind" being waged by the American government, as non-humans are being rounded up as potential threats to the country. Hasmed and Solace have assumed joint leadership of the Knighthood, and appointed no Dragon's Claw to replace either the deceased Sir Bancroft or the now gone rogue Sir Chessing.

Gone is the eclectic decor of the castle rooms, replaced by a much more uniform look to each assigned barracks, which, unfortunately, sleep two to a room because of restraints on space. Feel free to sign up for a roommate on the thread on this post. In fact, everything here is much more polished, state of the art, and modern, which is a jarring change from the castle. How well people adjust may depend on quite a few factors... but for now, they are free to attempt settling in.

You're dang right he hasn't. Or made a deal with the sketchy guy who owns it.

Think we'll ever hear from him again?

[killmypatience]

Probably. I mean, he owes us, not the other way around, but I have a feeling situations like this mean you team up with whatever allies you can get.

[Her head tips to the side.]

But maybe we should reach out first. Maybe he might have access to something that could help us.

[allaboutme]

If things were any different, I would figure Wynn was already doing that. But I'm not sure how many people even know about it other than us.

[killmypatience]

Maybe it's worth bringing it up to Hasmed and Solace. We'd probably have to be specific in what we asked for, but it'd be good to have in our back pocket.

[allaboutme]

Ugh, do we have to go through the two grumpy old men?

[killmypatience]

I think the big problem is we don't know what we need. If we only get one shot at this with Estavan, we should probably make sure it's worth it and is going to be something actually useful.

[allaboutme]

... Fine. But afterwards, drinks.

[killmypatience]

Deal.

[They are probably going to need so many drinks.]

Maybe get out of the bunker for a little while?

[allaboutme]

Somewhere with decent shopping? [ there's a lilt in her voice of true hope. ]

[killmypatience]

[You know what, why not? When in Vegas Rome.]

We could hit the strip. Take a look at the shops in the casinos?

[allaboutme]

Ooo, they might even have something designer.

[killmypatience]

That is kind of what Vegas is known for, isn't it?

[allaboutme]

I mean that, and the serious gambling addictions.

[killmypatience]

That too, though they tend to try and gloss over those parts.

[allaboutme]

I'm willing to look the other way if it means we can get some actual civilization for awhile.

[killmypatience]

Sounds good to me. I'll go check in with the boss an I'll meet you by the garage?

[allaboutme]

Oh, I am so there.

[killmypatience]

[Kate nods, and off she will go to head to that Hasmed thread we've been working on, and then there will be shopping! I'm good with either playing or handwaving that, depending on what you're into!]

[allaboutme]

[ i'm fine with hand wavings! ]
