The morning after the "experiment" Nicolas went to see the professor - and found that he had hanged himself in his cabin. His companions and students were obviously distraught as well but seemed more concerned with a loss of prospects than the loss of a fellow human being. Only Nicolas was questioned and he gave the story we'd agreed on, that the doctor wanted to show us an electrical experiment that had gone wrong and caused a fire and we'd thrown the source of the fire into the sea.
The rest of the day and the following one was uneventful and in the evening we reached the magnificent New York City. Quite a sight, to sail in among all those lights and be greeted by a huge crowd. We made our way through the port authority and customs quickly, well, with one exception, Alex who was asked into a side room and questioned. Apparently, he had tried to smuggle several bottles of alcohol into America... To much our surprise, he emerged a while later with a victorious smile on his face and all his luggage in tow. Who knows what he told them...
Thomas was still very ill and weak, on a gurney, and was transferred to a local hospital where he would need to stay the rest of the week.
So we checked into the Waldorf Astoria, did some urgent shopping so we would blend in better with the latest fashion and took a quick tour around with Nicolas showing us some sights. We ended up in an exclusive private club called "The Merry-go-round" that actually served alcohol at extortionate prices. I think it was what the locals call a "speakeasy".
The next day we went separate ways, Alex and Robert on business, Nicolas to meet a friend who might be able to help us in our attempt to find out more about the situation in Plattsburgh and also to meet with the Professor's students, and Silas and me playing tourists visiting the Statue of Liberty. In the evening we took in a talking film and a Broadway show.
The next day we met up with Nicolas' friend John at a baseball game (odd sport, that) and we made plans for how to proceed. Plattsburgh (where Nicolas left his family and a dangerous cult had taken over the whole city) was our destination but how to get there without drawing attention to ourselves? Now, there's a big Scout Jamboree on this weekend so some of us are going to use that as a disguise (Alex going back to being a priest and trying that as a way of getting close to the leader of the cult), I'm going to pose as a tourist and foreign investor seeking to buy land nearby (the lakes are said to be beautiful).
Let's see how that goes. At least Thomas is on his feet again so we can set of tomorrow.
