Being about to go on a mission makes Tanya restless.

It is a good thing Milliways came to her rescue, and an even better thing she does not need to wear the silly be-skirted formal uniform anymore.

In a few days she will depart for enemy territory in a dangerous gamble to turn the tides of war. Right now she is relaxing with hot cocoa.

Bonzo notices Tanya by the fireplace, and offers a wave to her.

"Hey there...Tanya, right? How're you doing?"

[alertcommando]

"Heya." Tanya gives a smirk. "I am alive... and you?"

[mandercommander.livejournal.com]

"The same, or so I hear." Smirk back. "Not doing too much around here, though."

Add one bored ex-Battle Schooler to one commando in need of volunteers. Stir well. Run.

[alertcommando]

"Oh, I could use some boredom right now." Tanya makes a face, shaking head. "There is war again, back home."

[mandercommander.livejournal.com]

"What's going on?" He gathers the bit about there being a war; he's more interested in details.

[alertcommando]

"The Reds invaded North America from all sides, and we barely fought them to stalemate. I'm going on a mission to neutralize Romanov's nukes so Europe can lend aid and not be bombed into oblivion."

[mandercommander.livejournal.com]

Blink. "Romanov? ...right, alternate world." Pause. "Uh...any way I can help?" he asks, somewhat hopeful of something to do.

[alertcommando]

"Romanov. He was put in charge by the Allied High Command at the end of World War II, after we got rid of Stalin."

Tanya raises a brow. "How good you are at sneaking and ambushing?"

[mandercommander.livejournal.com]

Pause for a moment of honest thought. "Depends on how good their surveillance systems are."

Bear in mind that he's used to all sort of high tech stuff.

"Well if it isn't the Scourge of the Reds," Ben says sitting near Tanya. "How ya been?"

[alertcommando]

"Ben!" She smiles seeing the orange guy, moving closer to kiss his cheek. "Damn it, it is good to see you."

[ever_lovin]

"It's good to be missed," Ben replies with a grin. "How goes retirement? Buy ya a beer?"

[alertcommando]

"Out of retirement." She makes a face. "Premier Romanov, his right-hand man Yuri and their trained bloodthirsty bulldog, General Vladimir, invaded the United States."

"Not going to refuse a beer."

[ever_lovin]

Hey Tanya, have you ever heard two stones being ground together? If not, Ben's bunching fists are currently making a sound that would be pretty darn close.

"Where are they invading?" Ben asks in a very quiet and cold voice.

You might need to remind him about that beer Tanya.

[alertcommando]

"We have three current fronts, one on the north-east across Canada, one in the south-east at Arizona and New Mexico, and another, mostly aerial and naval, at the Gulf from Cuba."

"Right now I am waiting deployment on Europe where I am supposed to locate and disable the Soviet Western European Missile Control Bunker. It is a joint mission with the British Secret Service, if we pull this off, the European nations agreed to form a coalition and attack eastern Russia."

[ever_lovin]

"They as far a New York?" Maybe it's selfish but it's Ben's home town.

[alertcommando]

"They attacked New York, but we retook the city. The Reds moves around, north, and attacked Chicago."

"They destroyed Liberty Island."

"They nuked Chicago when we recaptured the city."

No good news. "Now we have them in a stalemate."

There's a little voice chirping in a sing song voice,
"There was a man from Ghent
Who had a penis so long it bent
It was so much trouble
That he kept it double
And instead of coming he went."

Assuming Tanya looks she will see a four inch tall man with dragonfly wings who is polishing little pieces of metal. For most, it would be hard to determine what those little pieces of metal are. Given Tanya's vision (assuming it is part of her marksmanship), it's quite apparent they are lock picking tools and not just ones for mechanical locks but electrical as well.

[alertcommando]

Well, she does not exactly see further away than other people, she sees clearer. Total spatial awareness means she can observe shapes in great detail.

Lock picking tools, hmm... four inch tall man with wings... okay, Milliways cranked up the weird machine. "Interesting song..."

"Got plenty more where that one came from," Jenks says with a wink.

Tanya may want to stop him before he gets started.

[alertcommando]

Why? It is not like anything he sings will be a shock to her (even if he starts singing Lili Marleen). "And where that one came from?"

"I'm Tanya, by the way."

[pixie-runner.livejournal.com]

"That's a good one!" he replies laughing as his wings blur and he stands himself up. "I'm Jenks."

[alertcommando]

"I have my moments." Tanya smiles a bit. "Nice to meet you, Jenks."

"Which kind of world is yours? A different Earth or another world?"

[pixie-runner.livejournal.com]

"It's an earth. We had a genetically engineered virus wipe out more than half the human population about forty years ago which allowed the hidden races like me to come out of hiding. It's a *** for me. How about you?"

He is from Ivy's world...

"Ah... it is 1964 for me. Middle of the Third World War."
