London, England , January 1950 Within seconds the inky darkness disappears and the EIS team stare across the dinner table at each other. Nothing has changed. Mimi reaches out mentally to contact the duplicate Mimi and let her know that there has been a complication, but she can't make contact. Mimi looks around slightly dazed and confused but the rest of the team are already up and moving. Mimi follows them out of the dinning room into an impossibly dusty hallway. What was clean and well presented just thirty minutes beforehand when they entered the dinning room now looks like it has been uncleaned for years, with an undisturbed layer of dust covering everything. Madeline reaches the front door of the property first and yanks it open. Everything looks subtly different. The cars look different. The buses look different. And the air is free of smog. Mimi starts to shake and steps back within the safety of the dusty hallway and she pushes out with her senses. Multiple points of enhanc

He nestles into a perch and watches through the pouring rain before flapping across to the western side and locating a similar snipers nest on that side of the crossing. He notes that the crossing point is heavily guarded and that there are far more heavy w

Two of the Mimi’s had pushed out in front as shadows and had managed to find a car for the team to steal in order to get Einstein to the air strip as quickly as possible, as well as g

He picks up the two pistols and AK-47s and places them on the small table within the room before grabbing a flashlight and stepping towards the door of the gatehouse. As Sven steps through the doorway and out into the cold night air he transforms into the image of Stalin and crunches quietly as possible through the snow to the main gates.

Arround midday Alfie feels a tremor in the floor of the boat house and Billy swears blind that he can hear the faint rumblings of an explosion in the far distance. They both decide to tell the others when they awake, and both promptly forget. As night sets that evening the team once again prepare to head out into the blizzard like conditions. They plan to split up and search for food, munitions, inspect the aeroplane, and identify the number and positi
