WONK: the Chaos Reigns Players

Zaika, you've got air-mail...

Problem, how am I supposed to unload from a chopper onto a moving train? Most Euro-railcars don't have convenient roof hatches like American lightweights... and I don't have anyone else onboard to do the unload, so I'm gonna have to put on the autopilot, step outside the chopper, manhandle my way around to the cargo-hold, and hope it's a long enough straightaway the drop-zone doesn't shift under me--and if I slip, it's gonna be a long messy freefall...

Unload Man?! Just use a hoist. You are in the golden Hind are you not?
By the way. Beware the attack Macaw!
Evil is afoot...err..arail...
Onward for Harry, England, and the cabooses!

AAARRGH! WHAT in the name of St. Albatross is an attack Macaw?

Zaika, have you perchance espyed a nefarious sort with a bird in arms?

Call out the lookouts and their steeds! Hoist the petards!
Quick befor they abscond with the...But...wait....they have the BIRD!....
What of the cabooses?

The attack Macaw is the most insidious of all birds, one who at first clance looks like a humble, yet gloriously coloured rainforest creature. But he wields a weapon of indescribable power, one that could pull railroad spikes from their ties. A weapon so powerful, yet so manipulative that he can carve his initials in the bark of a tree if he so wishes. He was originally brought in to guard the cabooses, but he turned on us and STOLE THE BIRD! It now resides in his cage, and he guards it with a zeal never before witnessed. Alas, I am no longer his master as he has also turned on me...

SUPERB! You have an axe. Quite the Iron Maiden are you not? It must be the corset.

Beware the attack Macaw.

Proceed with the hatching and perhaps DB can hoist the cabooses...assuming of course that they are amenable to hoisting....to somewhat dubious safety.

Of course!
How could we have failed to anticipate the old switcheroo, the classic doublecross, the turning of the avian,...
We must isolate and immobolize the caged attack Macaw.
Spare no hardwood!
We'll have him on a spit!
Onward me heartys!
Zaika, beware of a chap known only to us a Kilroy.
Word is that he was/is there.
It was written on the boxcars!
DB...beware the nefarious pair.
Watchful, ever watchful.

Only a contrite heart can save you now.

Oh, I shall join you and the rest of WONK, but I will need help to wrest control back from this nefarious creature. He guards "THE BIRD" as though it is his wife. Anyone know whether "THE BIRD" is a female?

Takin' fire! Somebody's shootin' at me out here!

Quick, duck, dodge, and weave. Float like a flutterby and bing like a stee!

Has zaika completed the hatch?

You must locate the two cabooses and spirit them away. The end is drawing near. THey must not cross the Alps...or nay other mountain range.
May St. Albatross be with you!

hmmm....I need some tea and perhaps one more scone...ahhhh..

THe BIRD is a decoy, sent to confuse the opposition. It is an inanimate object. Code name: Bogy.

Quick, locate the two cabooses and join Zaika (she's the one in the corset with an axe and a luger)(can't miss her. She certainly is something. Regular Irton Maiden. Reminds me of....)

DB, ARE YOU THERE?

Would that be Earl Grey and maybe some clotted cream on that scone? Maybe that's what we could use to lure the attack Macaw away so we can save "THE BIRD"!

BLAST the Bird Man! hmmm...the birdman...now what was I...

THE Cabooses! Rescue the Cabooses!

Give the bird THE BIRD!

WE must save the pulchritudiousness first!

ONWARD!

Hold on, I'm busy strangling a parrot and taking out a couple flak-dealers...

Ahh, there it is, good tone... FOX TWO! FOX TWO!

*two missiles drop off the chopper, two mobile flak-guns go "boom"*

A PARROT? EGAD, the attack Macaw has a nefarious sidekick! Now where did he...
Of COURSE! The two in the boxcar...not agents of another nation at all..but... AVIANS cleverly disguised as mere humans.
THEY WALK AMONG US!

Quickly now, the fate of all humanity hangs in the balance!

You must hoist the cabooses or all is lost!

Kilroy, have you the cabooses and are you with Zaika?

A horse, a horse, my king.....

The Earl Grey and scone with clotted cream did not work, however...

I was able to lure the attack Macaw away from the cage with his favourite, some eggnog. After getting him blotto, he admitted to me that he really didn't want to guard the cabooses, and that's why he turned on us and stole "THE BIRD". However, when I went back to the cage to retrieve "THE BIRD", I found it was being guarded by the attack Macaw's lieutenant, Osama Bin Lovebird, aka "the feathered buzzsaw". I have to re-think my strategy.
