    Bush in custody, but unable to actually uncover any skeletons, would be the best version for the US. Comatose, Locked In Syndrome, something along those lines. Provided the Yanks get him, it's a big PR victory for them and the sort of thing that they could, with a bit of work, spin into a big...

    The Czar would probably be smart enough at this point to know that Gia, on her down time, is not a fixer, but a very capable person for managing the fixers. Less 007, more M.

    Marie is, in this instance, 100% correct. Though I don't know if I'd go for Charlotte's Web, The Hobbit with terrible voices would be my speed. Glad Cosimo told Tatiana who she was like, saved me the hassle.

    Try being Irish. Whole host of Irish celebrities are just called "British" by the British media with annoying regularity.

    Was it really necessary for the 1955 Austrian State Treaty to forbid submarines?

    Nah, this is one of those things were it's more fun to have it happen to Alex, not because of Alex. I need to get three more updates out though for the other story, then I can worry about how to fit the von Trapp's into the timeline.

    ...I'd forgotten about him. Oh boy, I need to include him in my timeline.

    The lengths the world will go to prevent the Danubian U-Boat Flotilla from striking fear into the hearts of man. Seriously though, someone should have caught that in draft at the time.

    ....so I'm going out on a limb, but if he is who I think he is, Roger shouldn't worry about going back to university. He'll shine on anyway, that crazy diamond. Though it is nice to see him getting help this time around.

    Newspaper Headline, 27/3/02: "Prince-Consort Hirsch punches out conspiracy theorist: "Why the hell would we fake it?"" Oh boy, that's a pickle and a half. On the one hand, "yay space travel", on the other, well, reality somewhat dictates that it would be a difficult prospect, even with the...

    I'm pretty sure the only person who has not accepted it is happening is Kiki herself. Though Louis would dock points if he tried something like that. Instead, Ben should angle for the appropriate titles to be viewed as an "acceptable" match to Kiki. But that isn't in Ben's character. What he...

    That's the medium case scenario. Even if she's a prisoner, she's alive somewhere but injured. Polish Government might be dumb enough to try that, anyone who is in charge over there would have had enough run ins with Emil on even a purely professional level to know that isn't going to fly. The...

    Best case scenario, she's injured in a hospital somewhere. Medium case scenario, she's injured and without ID somewhere. Worst case scenario, she's dead. My money is on 1 or 3. If she is dead, Kiki and Kat are both going to have really bad episodes over it, never mind Maria and Emil. The only...

    Oh bugger. If the other assets are being arranged in Danzig, there is only a couple of targets worth mentioning, and only one of those has been providing Turkey with equipment that we know of. I'm not saying that a war with Russia is likely, but I do think there is going to be a "demonstration"...

    I mean metal fatigue or structural weakness hitting, killing everyone on board and Louis Junior becoming Kaiser in the middle of a firefight with two American intelligence branches, Albanian pirates, the Turks and Abyssinia (why not throw them in too somehow) wouldn't be out of place in this story.
