It's Only a Model (Shh!)

Well, we know our job for pops to help cover for what happened in Germany.  At least the first one.

We're taking King Arthur's ship to Avalon.

Yeah, that's right.  He was a Scion too, apparently.  Makes sense, really, when you think on it.  I'm looking out the window at the drydock it's in now.  Poor girl needs a lot of work, but I think between the lot of us we'll manage.  Turns out that his last journey never finished like the stories said, that his ship sank on it's way.  Causing Avalon to fade into the mist.  Yeah.  So you can guess where HQ is.  Whoever named it that needs to be shot in the face with a Death Star Superlaser.

Dad took us to where the ship had rested before bringing it all back.  Interesting view on the bottom of the ocean.  In any case, I think we can do this.  We've got a second mission too, once we hit Avalon.  It turns out the Yazata(Who are, in fact, playing their own game based on their own outlook, rather then...implicitly aiding the Titans.  Still might be hope for them if we can swing Altair to the cause.  We'll see) are hiding Andrew's father.  Yeah, that's where Andrew ran off too.  We can get Arthur back home, but...

I don't know.  Assaulting Avalon?  We're going to need to be prepared.  Crazy prepared.  I'd love to have my armor, but I doubt it'd be ready in time even with the help of the Irish smith-gods.  Who I still haven't gotten in touch with.  Always something when I go to make the call, y'know?   Plus, the weapons.  I'd rather it didn't come to a battle, but I don't expect it.  Barring the weapon I'm working on...a Browning M2 or an M249 would be nice.  I'd -prefer- to have Caladbolg...Excalibur, rather.  The sword, y'know?  Pops say it's lost to time and fate, the stories say it was returned to the Lady of the Lake.  Doesn't seem like, in the kind of world we're in, that anyone would let it out of their sight.  Even Arthur.  There might be some clue on the ship.  Going to look for it when I have the time.

Not sure what else to put down now.  Got a few plans to go over with Kenny.  For now...going to go see what I can do to help put that ship back into one piece.  I'm not big on the whole 'life and death and souls to the afterlife' routine, but...Arthur's soul is still on the ocean floor, or bound to the ship until it reaches Avalon.  He earned his rest centuries ago, it's long past time he got it.
