Also, for the EH Gurus...

1 - Is the Arlington National Cemetary Interlude a go? I've some very preliminary outline stuff on it, and if it's in, I'll work it up more. If it's out, I'll work on another thing.

Okay, here are my initial ideas for the Arlington Interlude.

DG's Holiest Site, the grave of Gen Reginald Fairfield has been dug up and desecrated. The General's remains are gone and the honor guard, normally on duty 24 hours every day at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, has been slaughtered. Scrawled in blood on the gravestone of General Fairfield are the letters "DG".

What may have happened....and these are preliminary ideas.

1 - The mole inside DG has leaked to the Karotechia the circumstances of Fairfield's involvement in the modern incarnation of DG. The theft of his body, murder of the guards, and initials on the gravestone are meant to be used as clues by the investigating officers. K hopes that these clues will be enough for the investigators to begin to uncover Fairfield's involvement in DG, and its organization today. It further hopes that DG will be too busy trying to put out that fire to expend more assets to work against K.

2 - K is trying to ressurect Fairfield to gain information from him to use against DG. They need to slow DG in any way possible, and milking Fairfield for information he once had might give them the edge they need to slow DG down even further.

3 - The architect behind this latest maneuver is US Senator Michael Wilborne, Karotechia Bischofe and member of the DC Steering Committee. More on him in another post.

Okay guys...have at it and tell me what you think!

Actually, Reggie isn't buried at Arlington. His place of burial is neither publicly known nor accessible. I can't really comment on this topic further, however.

There are certainly other DG personages at Arlington that could be substituted, such as Lt. Cmdr. Martin Cook of the pre-WWII P Division.

be seeing you,

Okay, might we assume that this isn't generally public knowledge. Perhaps K went to a grave marked as Fairfield's and either found it empty, or snatched the body that was there (begging the question..whose body was it?). If so, the DG cell might still pursue the thieves, thinking that they had Fairfield, and still trying to cover up the possible investigation that might lead back to DG.

Or perhaps someone that was involved in the operations against K in WWII...names escape me right now.

It (Arlington) looks fine. I think a false grave for Fairfield is in order now that Big Al has spoken. Kewl title for a DG B-movie eh? "A False Grave for Fairfield"

Now there's a nasty idea. I think there was a short story or two of lovecraft's that mentioned an organization that was ressurecting alot of dead people across the world in a necromantic conspiracy of sorts. I don't remember what it was that they were hoping to get from the dead people, but it would make for an interesting plot device/bad guy to have them still running around, quietly graverobbing the greatest brains of the era (or any era that they care to pillage) and gleaning all sorts of knowledge. After all, they can literally torture a ressurectee to death, and then start over on him/her all over again until they learn whatever it is they want from them. ugh...what an ugly thought. but they'd be folks that need killing.....again and again and again....
Hey, that pink bunny would make a great avatar too....he just keeps going and going and going....

Ok Ok...time to switch to de-caff now I suppose..

Well, folks...being as I'm tackling the Arlington interlude...I may just add to the Fairfield Mythos, assuming it's all cleared through Alphonse....

For the benefit of non-Americans on the list, could someone clarify what the conditions are to qualify for burial at Arlington National Cemetery?

I understand that this is primarily a military cemetery but are significant state figures also buried there? If you're military do you have to die in service?

I'm actually going to post most of the details about ANC in my chapter outline. Basically, you have to be a military veteran with some combat time. As far as I know, and I'm going to have to double-check this, you have to die in the service of your country. There are large concerns now, because the Cemetary is getting quite crowded, and there have been rumors that the requirements for burial there are going to become even more stringent.

There was a big flap a few months back when President Clinton authorized a burial of a man in the Cemetary who didn't necessarily qualify, but who had been a major contributor to his campaigns over the years. There have been a rare few other notables who, though not strictly qualifying, have been buried there. Those folks technically qualified, being, at least, military veterans, but not necessarily dying in a combat action or such.
