The train trip was long. Niah was bored. She had pulled out her reading book and was nearing the end when they finally reached Olympia. "Does it have something to do with when the town was founded? Like California it is Sacramento, and Nevada is Cason City. That last one doesn't make any sense. It should be Reno or Las Vegas." Then Madalyne said that there were monsters on the train.

Niah started to turn to see the new conductor and refreshment lady, but then Nancy said they were Gorgons so she avoided eye contact and looked down to the ground. She shivered. Then looked at Nancy. "Great, just great. No quest ever goes easily does it?" She sighed. She felt like she had asked for this. "Game plan?" She looked at her friends.

Mary looked at Arty surprised when he said that Apollo didn't trust Callum. She didn't either and was surprised to hear Artie say it so forthright in front of Georgina. She stood up and straightened her clothing. Then said, "Oh please you've played wizard chess you know that sometimes you have to sacrifice a pawn." Mary said coldly. Her face pale. She hated saying it, especially in front of Georgina. But something was fishy about the whole situation.

After the announcement, Mary grabbed her backpack. "My luggage is in compartment one. I'll get it. Get him to the Knight Bus. I'll meet you on the middle deck in the back. It's going to be crowded so we'll talk later." Mary left the compartment and stepped into the first compartment.

Her stomach dropped upon seeing the two bodies there, it took her a moment to keep composure. "Sorry to interrupt. I just, I'm going to get all the luggage out of here." She told the Auror. Quickly, she cast Wingardium Leviosa and brought all the luggage out of the compartment and into the hall. She let the spell gently drop the luggage that wasn't hers and then made her way to the Knight Bus.

Matt checked the corpse. It was in fact a corpse. That was good. Matt didn't want it getting back up while his back was turned. He was still a bit tempted to put another couple bullets through the guy just to be certain. This guy Thanos had some nasty subordinates.

He followed after Tinley and entered just in time to hear the question about transport. "Yes, it is." He wasn't lying since Strange and the others had shown up. They all looked beat up...and Raynor wasn't with them, which after what Tinley had said about him being a Skrull that was probably good. They didn't understand the Skrull aliens yet, and having one on their team again was not good. Bonnie was going to have to do the blood tests all over now. He sighed.

Matt glared at Thane for his comment about Tinley. He'd let her slap him herself if she desired. He did nod at the guards doing the handoff. His wrist was throbbing, but there would be time to get it fixed after those with direr injures were taken care of. Like Bonnie. She was lucky to be alive, and Matt was pretty impressed with her.

"I'm pretty certain my name is made up, I don't think there is a Latin version." Niah laughed. Her father had named her after a family friend. She had no idea what it meant. If anything.

"I'm going to pretend you didn't tell me how you were going to acquire the phone. But yeah I can use one. Though remember they do attract monsters for some reason. Maybe it will be fine if I don't make any calls. However, if I do make a call I could call my dad and see if he would wire me money." That made her feel better about their future on this quest. At least they'd have food and a hotel room when the time came for them to sleep places other than the train.

Niah felt comfortable with technology she was a child of the new millennium, unlike the two before her. Even with the inability to make proper phone calls with cell phones, she had used them a fair amount. She smiled at them.

"I think that's brilliant." Niah was excited at the idea of bracelets that matched Nancy and Madalyne's. It would be a nice memento from the trip. "Though I think it'll have to wait till we get back to camp. I'm sure the crafts area has something we can work with." Not that Niah went to the crafts area much. It wasn't something she was interested in, and she rarely had the time.

Not knowing exactly where they were going to end up after Fargo worried Niah. She wished they had access to a computer or something so they could look up Mount Rushmore. She was also glad no random annoying adult had stepped up to them and said something like they should be a school. A lot of this quest was going to be just making decisions on the fly.

Niah chewed on a nugget thinking. She spent a moment in silence before finally saying. "Do we have any longer stops? Places where we can go to a library and look up stuff about Mount Rushmore?" She didn't want to go into a fight with a dragon blind. Oh, and they'd have to figure out how to get into the park, it probably cost money too.
As Alexander focused on the wind it was hard to tell at first. He could hear it, and could even hear parts of it being obstructed. But it seemed like whatever obstructed it didn't last long. Invisible....moving....platforms. Alexander would struggle to keep tracking them, but it appeared there was some sort of pattern.

"I'm concerned about this place is all." Kade's accent came out soft. He wasn't certain of what to think about it. This was a quest. They had lost one of their numbers, but it was likely they would lose a second.

Sumi still stood on the edge. She turned back to face the nothingness in front of them. "We have to get there. We have to get to the knot."

Niah felt a sense of relief when Nancy said not to sweat it. She seemed to genuinely not care. It was a nice feeling. Not having the weight of every action being judged. There would come a day when she could retire from the Legion and move on with her life. Sure, it was likely she'd stay in New Rome, but Niah really wanted to leave and study the real world. Being out and about in it made it feel like that was even more possible. The normalcy of people on the train was a nice breather.

She smiled and happily shoved food into her mouth. Laughing at Nancy's joke about Mystiokinesis. "Is that teachable? I know a lot of gifts aren't. Like I wouldn't even know how to teach what I feel with the Oath thing, I might be able to teach Odikinesis. There are a few of the Mars kids who can do it." She used the proper name this time, sticking with Roman. Really though she knew the Romans had stolen most of it from the Greeks anyway.

She put the pile of teeth on a napkin on the table. "What what your idea?" She asked Nancy, pushing the teeth her direction before taking a long drink from her soda. One thing Niah wasn't was squeamish.

Manny stood near Zarina watching with interest. It was clear to him that what they had in front of them wasn't even human, which gave him some concerns. He glanced around at the others for a moment then focused on the body. "What can you tell about it?"

Meanwhile, Kyle, stood up, with his cup of coffee, went out into the hall and back the way the girl had come. He knelt down a few times until finally, he was at the far end of the hall where he opened the door. He let out a low whistle. "When you're done with the robot come check this out." He shouted back at them.

Tessa was trying to avoid vomiting as well. It wasn't easy, but she was able to keep what little breakfast she had eaten to stay down. She hadn't had a chance to respond to what she had found in her room. Now she wasn't certain if she wanted to share. Between the idea of it being some weird game show, and now the dead robot?

There was a lot of meaning in a burned photo, and Tessa wanted to figure it out before sharing it with a bunch of randos.

"I found a swimmers cap." Luke said. "I left it in the room though." He was staying at the table, with his back turned. Tessa didn't blame him, she wished she had kept her back turned. Tessa stepped over to the food machine and spent a minute searching menus.

"Oh nice." She clicked a couple of buttons until a bright pink liquid in a cup was ejected. She drank it like a shot. Then she thought about it and pressed a few more buttons. Another cup was ejected, this one filled with a light brown liquid. She drank that and then turned back to the group around the table. "Okay, this machine is probably the coolest thing ever. It has an assortment of over the counter looking drugs, and booze."

Tessa then looked at Zarina, "Alright pulling jaws off corpses aside, uh, what he said." She looked at Manny. Then hearing Kyle holler from down the hall she started that way.

Niah positively giggled. She ran after Nancy onto the train. Giving the conductor a little curtsy. She didn't say anything though just climbed up the stairs to find Nancy. "I'm good. That was amazing. I've never seen anything like it." It was easily the coolest thing she had ever seen.

She took a bag from Mads and a nice long drink from her soda. "I am sorry for making them angrier." Then under her breath at Mads she asked, "Is that Mist control that you used to stop the train?" The adrenaline was a wild ride, nothing like what it was for the war games. She started eating her food.
