URGENT!! Please read!

I need help. Two of our islanders, John Mitchell and Jay Gatsby, have been injured. I have treated them as best as I can given the facilities, but they are currently trapped in the trenches of 1917. I can't move them on my own. Mitchell needs blood, Gatsby is currently incapable of walking on his own. I can probably carry Gatsby, but it will leave me unable to shoot, and- it is an active warzone. I barely made it out myself, and could only do so crawling by night.

I understand that not everyone is going to want to go into the war to rescue two people who chose to go there knowing the risks, but the door will close at midnight, and personally, I don't want to leave them trapped there, no matter how reckless they are.

Can anyone help?

	I'll go. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Excellent. Are you able to fire a gun? Or- I don't want anyone else to end up injured, you understand. If you can't fire a gun, perhaps you could help Gatsby move, and I will cover you- I don't know, we'll figure out a plan of attack. Can you also go up to the museum at [location] and get a uniform? We need to blend in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can fire a gun, fight with a knife or bare hands if necessary. I'm from 1911 so I'm familiar with the times if not the War itself. I'm also quite good at disguises and impersonation if that could be useful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	That's excellent. It looks like Eames will carry Gatsby, and- if Mitchell needs carried, there is Steve offering to help there- and the rest of us can rally round them and cover them and- it'll be tricky, but I think we can manage it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I can't die. I'll go. ~~need some coffee to sober up first though~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	Wonderful. Thank you. You're on security, aren't you? Bring a gun. And- a uniform- a war museum has appeared on the island at [location], if you could- helps to blend in. We will meet at the door as soon as it starts to get dark. It would be suicide to go through in daylight. It'll be tight for time, but- I don't see an alternative. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-05-18 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, not that it's seemed to do much good. Christ what a bloody mess. All right, I'll get a uniform and a gun. Probably a good idea to meet an hour or two before dark to go over everything and plan ahead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 03:39 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm drafting up a rough map from memory as we speak. I'll plan a strategy out for us, and we can go over it. I was an army captain not that long ago. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	_eames 2013-05-18 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	I'll go. I can carry Gatsby. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you, that is fantastic. Can you bring a gun? Also, if you could go to the museum at [location] and get yourself a uniform to blend in better- we'll meet at the door as soon as it gets darker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_eames 2013-05-18 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	I don't have a gun... Oh, I lied, I have a totally badass gun. But yes, I don't think I'll blend in in my RAF uniform. I'll see you shortly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-18 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	I can go. My shield arrived this morning and I have my fatigues, they're not from that war but it may help anyway. I can carry him and still use one arm, you shouldn't be unable to protect yourself. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	Excellent. I think Eames will be carrying, if you can cover them- or perhaps help Mitchell- we will meet and discuss specifics. At the door, as soon as it gets darker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-18 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	We should likely meet a little bit early, go in at dusk and get to them before dark falls. They will likely be switching watch at sunset and it'll be better if we can split the guards. If they see us go in they'll expect us to come back, if we can make it so one shift sees us run in but it's another team to see us leave it will up their response time.

I'm hoping that the German's won't see us at all, but hope and reality are often very different! There is a tunnel that leads into the front trench- they're on the allied side- it's more the British we have to worry about, really. They aren't going to be keen on us moving them, so we'll have to smuggle them out.

Anyway, yes, as I said to MacLeod, I'm drafting up a map, and we can meet beforehand to go over an exact medevac plan.

	Especially in war. That's good to know though, I may try and find a way to disguise my shield if stealth is the idea. There's a man below who says he can do magic? Perhaps he knows a way to hide us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	Great idea, I'll ask him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captain_srogers 2013-05-18 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	It will help, even if he's only able to hide the men we're getting out. If they don't realize we're taking anyone we may be able to blend in enough not to cause any trouble for us. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	blacktwin 2013-05-18 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	Have I gone fucking mad? Why would I do that? Obviously, I'm not good with the blending in but if you need advice about the war or backup, count on me. Don't need my reckless other self get our people killed. (Reply to this)

	thewinterknight 2013-05-18 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yep; yes I know how to fire a gun. And I have magic. It works against bullets. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	Magic? Are you able to hide us somehow? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thewinterknight 2013-05-18 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	I can veil myself and maybe one other. But I'm better at shields, they deflect shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, that is good. Can you get yourself a uniform from [location] and meet us for a briefing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thewinterknight 2013-05-18 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	Sure can, captain. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	isabellane 2013-05-18 03:53 pm UTC (link)
	I could pop you in, we grab them and pop out. It's kind of like rentaghosting but I can do it with living things. It'd be faster than anything and nobody has to worry about being shot at. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	There are other patients in the room, I'm not sure if it's a great idea to expose them to this- although maybe they'd just think they'd gone mad. I don't know- (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isabellane 2013-05-18 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	I could pop us in just outside, then we go in and get them, bring them outside and pop us out again. It's one option of many, I'm sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	Meet us for the briefing, and we'll discuss all of the options. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm sorry Annie, I can't let you do that. There were no women in the war, if you're seen it will give us away as outsiders immediately. Don't worry, we'll get him back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	Well you should, considering you could put all of us in danger and risk getting us captured for questioning. I don't want to be cruel, Annie, I'm just trying to do what is going to work. I will get him out, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He needs blood. What you can do for me in the meantime is find a willing and suitable donor. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It looks like somethings already been worked out, but want me to shift and draw enemy fire? I can drape myself in red white and blue, and wear a helmet. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-18 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	As much as I would really love to see that, it will probably draw a bit too much attention to us. we're hoping for stealth. What you can do is stay on stand-by to feed Mitchell. He's in desperate need of donors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2013-05-19 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Once things are cooled down I'll do it just for you Doc. For giggles and grins. And of course I'll be ready to donate. I already called Laura to the problem. She's in line with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	charlieprice 2013-05-19 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	We could always do with more giggles around here. That's wonderful, thank you so much. We'll bring them straight up to the hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We could definitely. However we can help Doctor. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I will help. Mr Gatsby and Mr Mitchell are my friends. Tell me what needs to be done. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Considering your recent medical emergency, I think it would be wider for you take take it easy for a while longer. We have plenty of people able to help, so don't worry about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Doctor Watson, I am not accustomed to sitting around doing nothing when my friends are in need. To hell with my personal situation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I understand that, but in your current condition, you may end up becoming another casualty, and we don't have the time or resources to deal with that right now. Be sensible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We'll be taking them straight up to the hospital. If there's anything you can do to assist us then, I'll be sure to let you know. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
