WHO || The Knights & agents of SHIELD
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.

That it's a device capable of crossing barriers of space, time, and dimensions. Perhaps you understand more about how something like that is possible.

Time and relative dimension in space specifically, yeah. It crashed into my back garden when I was seven. A ship from a planet that doesn't exist anymore. [ dryly: ] She's in love with my husband.

... The ship?

Yeah. [ which amy only knows second hand, but she also loves rory so she gets it. ]

The ship is sentient. People can fly it, if she lets them. Probably why you can't find her.

Maybe your husband can.

What, send the Roman out in the desert and have him yell?

[ honestly that would... probably work. she's already texting rory to summon him. ]

Have you tried it?

Didn't think the TARDIS was here, so.

No.

[ she was a bit busy trying to find pants since she SHOWED UP IN HER NIGHTIE, thanks doctor. ]

He's coming. How do I know you're not going to casually annex it from us like you lot did with Hawaii?

We're not interested in detaining any sentient species, although we'd certainly appreciate learning anything we could. We'll let you set what conditions you feel necessary.

You can discuss that with Rory. I'm not sure how much he trusts American government agencies after Nixon.

[ amy is excellent at delegating. ]

Is your husband human? If that's not too personal.

Very human. He's a nurse from Leadworth.

[ which is obviously the most human thing ever. ]

He must be a very special human.

He is the best person in the universe.

[ there is a planet of rorys and even they would say her rory is the best rory. ]

[And just as she says that, he appears, fulfilling his end of their text game of Marco Polo.]

Hello, Director Coulson.

[Why are you summoning him to Director Coulson? is right there in his tone.]

[ coulson is about to respond when suddenly there's rory ] That was quick. I don't suppose you've told him why we wanted to see him?

[ of course she didn't. she texted him MARCO and made him find her, rory is just very good. ]

The director has offered to help us find the TARDIS. [ she lifts her eyebrows at rory like YEP. ] You've had more experience with UNIT and the US government so I decided you get to choose the conditions for what they get to learn about it, if anything.

[ she's delegating. ]

[His eyebrows go up in return because can they do that? Does that mean the TARDIS is in this world?]

Honestly, they're not really my terms to set. They're hers.

[And by hers he means the TARDIS.]

She's not going to let you use her however you want - she's got a mind of her own.

Do you have any idea where ... she originated?

Gallifrey. But Gallifrey is gone.

[Rory nods to confirm.]

Technically she's the last of her kind.

[Just like her captain.]

I can't say I'm familiar. Another planet?

In another galaxy. Might not even exist here, [ amy admits with a shrug. who knows. maybe it's pluto. ] You know, I know a bloke at the FBI that, uh, has a reputation for ...well, aliens. Maybe I should call him.

[He turns and fondly:]

You always manage to find the aliens, don't you?

[Or the people who can point her to the aliens.]

Even if it did exist here, Gallifrey may still be gone. It was destroyed a long time ago - it's why she's the last of her kind.

Destroyed by who?
