incandescensThe weather has suddenly decided to heat up (yes, I know the weather forecast predicted it, but who trusts weather forecasts?) and while the sun is beautiful to see, it leaves me faced with a whole load of new choices about clothing and the thickness thereof. Mutter mutter.
Had a weird dream earlier this evening while having a post-work nap. It involved classic Doctor Who and the Master (the Delgado version, aka Master Classic). For various reasons I was playing the usual role of the Hypnotised Hostage, with the side-notes of "conducts self intelligently, finds way round orders, helps defeat bad guy". You know that sort of plotline. And then, during the happy victory chat, I found myself quietly picking up the Macguffin and heading out round back to hand it over to the Master while nobody was paying attention. Apparently I'd been given some post-hypnotic programming I didn't know about.
I must use this plotline somewhere. :)

The characters are to treat the Deep Ones with respect and to give the appearance of co-operation but they must stall the fishies as much as possible. Under no circumstances are they to:
* Admit that humanity is responsible for the breach of the treaty.
* Imply that it was a deliberate breach.
* Do anything that might cause the Deep Ones to wipe out our species.
