			[[Thunder]] What a team. Teamworked like we'd ran together since we were kids. Fun too. Great people to work and party with.
			That train spirit was quite something too.

			--Thunder gets a magical Tattoo that will disappear after a month. The tatto is a train track with landmarks of the cities the Orient Express travels through. Starting with paris and the Eifel Tower on his right hand, up his arm, across his back, down to the left hand, where one can see the Blue Mosque of Istanbul.--

			At the end of the year 2084, Carleton Moreau hires four skilled runners—Alkali, Lady Argentum, Delphi, and Thunder to protect his sociopathic billionaire brother-in-law, Thurson Bernard Howell VII, during a trip on the Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul. Their hidden mission is to awaken the Free Spirit of the old Orient Express by performing a ritual involving six stolen artifacts.

			Disguised as bodyguards and servants, the runners solve a murder mystery, thwart an assassination attempt, and swap the artifacts for fakes. As the train reaches Sinaia, they perform the ritual and successfully awaken the spirit, which promises swift and stealthy travel between Paris and Istanbul.

			In the aftermath, the runners reflect on their seamless teamwork and anticipate future adventures, now with the unique experience of traveling on a free-spirit train.

			''Awakening the free Spirit of Man of the Orient Express''
			In Sinaia, Lady Argentum protects the principal who goes to Peles Castle for the opening ceremony of the exhibition at the castle. Alkali and Delphi go to the bend of the train tracks which is closest to the castle, because this is where the magic will be the strongest when the mundane opening ceremony at the castle finishes. Thunder guards that no trains, people or other potential threats to the summoning ritual get within 30 meters of the place where the free spirit is supposed to awaken.
			As Lady Argentum signals that the mundane ceremony is finished, Alkali performs the ritual with the assistance of Delphi, and Thunder whitnesses as the free spirit awakens and materializes. The scene can be seen from the castle, and the amazement from the bystanders can be heard for miles.

			The runners bribe the spirit with coal and a signed hardcopy of a mystery book and negotiate their bargains.
			Alkali celebrates the spirits awakening with the spirit who can't wait to go full speed to Paris and finally move after slumbering for so long.

			Anyone who whitnessed Alkali projecting and travelling on a free-spirit train sure had the sight of their life.

			''Getting their hands on the artiffacts''
			Rather sooner than later, after the train takes off from Paris, the runners hear a loud scream from the club car, when the theatrical murder for the murder mystery played on the train begins. Since every person on the train, including the driver, is now in the club car, the runners realizes that this is a perfect time to try to steal the artiffacts and switch them for their counterfeits.
			With the help of spells and spirit searches, Alkali and Thunder locate the artiffacts in the front transportation car. While Lady Argentum guards the pricipal and buys additional time for the rest of the team through spotless acting of grief and blame, Delphi takes control of the drones in the transportation cars, so that Alkali's task-spirit gets inside to swap the artiffacts.
