Murder on the Emerald Express

Chapter 6A: Looking For Repair Parts

- Steve Thomas (Crew) - Team Leader
- Brakes (Crew)
- Greaseman (P)
- Hans Beckman (T)
- David Gaylord (T)
- Pete Smith (T)

  
  

"Well, it seems the sun is beginning to set", Steve Thomas warns, "We might want to get started".
Steve asks the townies, "So, I heard someone mention a Train Engine Shed.  Do you think that one of you guys can take us there.  Perhaps we can locate some of our needed parts.  Brakes and I have inspected the engine pretty closely".  

This is what we think we're going to need:

- Johnson Rod
- T1 Vertical Drive Gear
- T1 Horizontal Drive Gear
- 1x4 Johnson Rod Bracket

Should we get going?

[Da Death Star!]

Vi know vere ze Train zhed iz!Vi zall take you zere.Vi too zink vee should get going bevore eet gets too dark.

[TheBrickster]

What'd that boy say? Where's Klauss-Dieter when you need 'em?

[WhiteFang]

Requoting myself above again,

Geez, taking out from my pocket and it appeared to be a global miniature dictionary translator or whatever,  

I believed this gentleman is trying to said "I know where is the "Train Shed"! I will take you there. We should get going before it gets too dark."

In addition, I think this place give me the creeps, and I hope darkness doesn't fall on us too fast.  

[Darth_Legois]

Our Train Conductor, Max seemed to join Group 4.

Well, he clearly should have been with this group, it only makes sense that the conductor of the train would be interested in getting it running again, but I guess he's run off somewhere else.

That means that you're in charge. What do we do now? Don't make me take over, cause I'll do it, you know I will.

Let our Stevie Wonder, lead us the way. First of all, we need that person over there whom speaks wierd language to lead us to the Train Shed.

We need a Johnson rod. Johnson ... rod. *giggles*

That's not funny. Let's get going.

I am going to have a hard time understanding his "funny" humorous personality.  

Let's get moving. I don't want to get myself caught in the midst of nowhere in the night.

So, Pete, you'r a pretty quiet guy.  What do you do here in town.  I love that classic red "Beat It" jacket, but do you always where a hard hat?
And Dave, that's an interesting uniform you've got there.  Did you say you're a conductor?

[Da Death Star!]

Zorry about ze accent,I vill try and tune it down a bit.Now,Shall vee get going?

[TheBrickster]

You continue walking west / northwest toward the train shed with Hans leading the way...

[WhiteFang]

Hans, who works in the Train Shed? I mean, normally you don't get to see trains that often, am I right? So Iwas wondering whether anyone lives there or not.  

By the way, why the other two citizens sound so quiet?

Why does this town have a train that no one uses? Doesn't that seem a little odd, like the rest of this place?

Are we actually ever going to get anywhere? If the local idiots don't talk and we walk forever without arriving, I'm going to get mighty bored and start talking endlessly, rambling about nothing. Next thing you know, I'll be a local.

Vell,no vone actually lives zere,though I do live near it.But zere izn't anyone else that works zere exzept me as var as I know.

[TheBrickster]

The team of six arrive at an abandoned train engine shed.  Opening the large unlocked doors, they enter cautiously...  Hans flips a light switch as the windows have been boarded up allowing very little outside light to enter.  Even with the light, visibility is very dim.  Scattered parts lay along the floor as well as a number of tools used to repair various trains.  "Doesn't look like this place has been used in 40 years", Steve says honestly...

*Cough**Hack*Zorry,its ze dust.I haven't been here for a while,so its gotten a bit,run down lately.*Crouchs down and looks under a table*Geez!There iz like,an inch of dust here!

Ok, let's gather up what we need and get the hell out of here. I don't know a Johnson rod from a hole in the ground, so I'll just stand over here where it's safe and nothing can fall on me or bite me or stab me or anything. Right over here.

Oh look, someone wrote a greeting up there on the window. GOT OOT? GUT EAT. EW. GET OUT. That's it, GET OUT. Get out what?

[WhiteFang]

*Took out a small maglite from my pocket*

I have this maglite with me, while I am working on my brakes. The white beam is good enough to shine onto the ground. Careful where you are stepping. Hans, are you sure there is no one taking care of this place, like a security guard? This is a train maintaince facility. Shall we try and walk around this place first to give a general overview. Stick close to one another.

Who would want to come to this town to be a guard anyway?

Uhh....okay.....

Like someone else said, Why do you have a train shed but don't use it? Or even have a train?
