Caribbean Cruise

By Fiachra Kelly & Gavin Crosbie

Players: 36

Genre: 1940s cruise ship

You wait in the port-side lobby of the hotel DeBlanc on the eastern coast of Jamaica. You’ve been here for nearly an hour as there was some delays while refuelling the “Eve” the boat you will be spending the next 2 weeks on. There are quite a large number of people expected to be at this wedding and you notice quite a few in the lobby with you. They seem to be divided into small groups and you can hear a host of accents and languages: French, American, English and German. Some of these “characters” seem less savoury than the others and this brings the question, Why were they invited? You finish off your pineapple cocktail and just as your about to order another you hear the low tone the fog horn sounding around the cove. The weather persuades you outside to wait for the boat and you notice a few people follow your lead. The splendid liner docks and just as you flick away your cigarette the boarding plank descends onto the dock.

So far everything has gone according to plan. Everyone is here and the negotiations can begin. The wedding guise worked and the only “average” people here were placed here as expendable cover. Fair enough there is some rich, well known people here but when you have most of the planets superpowers involved everyone is expendable. The state that the world is in now has to end. Every government on the planet is agreement with this. That is why so much trouble has been gone to to make sure that no one is suspicious of the politicians and their advisors absence from their local scene. It is here and now that a common world policy on peace must be drawn up. A war, so soon after the Great War, would tear the world apart. Planet-wide military stand downs are necessary and economic support must begin again where ever it can.
