Indiana Jones has posed:
Indy had had one of his gut feelings while they were still in the air, and had called Cindy. He had given her the basic rundown. They were on the trail of something in India, and he needed help. There would be a ticket waiting for her at the airport.
By the time Indy and Cammy were settled in at the hotel, Cindy's plane had landed, and Kasim was already bringing her to the hotel.
"Miss White, I think it's time for you to meet my partner." He was dressed in his khakis and fedora, cleaned and pressed. "Let's go down to the lobby. Kasim should be here any minute."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy unpacked, and is now dressed as Indy's no-nonsens bodyguard, assuming her "disguise", which isn't a stretch. She has been briefing him on what else she knows about Bara Imambara, where they are going to find clues to the location of the legendary Lost Beads of Wakanda.

But now she just nods as she pushes LOBBY on the little elevator. "The last people who went after the Beads never returned. And they were SHIELD. Did you know that?" she asks him, "Maybe it's not general knowledge."

Silk has posed:
As Cindy arrives at the hotel, she is greeted by a flurry of help, from the bellhop to the concierge. Unaccustomed to such treatment, she watches in wonder as her wheeled bags are led in like well-trained pets.

For her part, Cindy is wearing a short, tailored black suit-dress, double-breasted with white pinstripes, and a black fedora with a red silk hatband. Her hair is pinned neatly up beneath the hat. Even her red patent leather heels are on-point, as she spins in a slow circle to take the place in.

Indiana Jones has posed:
Wow...she looks really squared away, and she's wearing the gift he had gotten her for Christmas.
Why was she hanging around with an old fossil like him again?
The evening crowd was fairly thick, with people moving in and out, checking in, going out for dinner, but he hand rose in the throng, and it held a very familiar brown fedors.
Indy pointed out the sharp-dressed woman in black and red. "There she is." He began moving towards her, still holding the fedora high.

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy is wearing a thickass pair of military boots and she clomp clomps through the Lobby, stalking toward Cindy Moon. She seems pleasant enough though, as she says, "Hello," she smiles as she approaches, "I'm Cammy."

Silk has posed:
"Oooh, I'm Cindy. So you're into this whole gig...that's awesome! Glad we have your help. Indy needs to come with a warning label..." Cindy smiles to Cammy with a polite bow from the waist.

Indiana Jones has posed:
Indy smiled wryly, then handed Cindy the key to his room. "There's another queen-size bed for you. Go on up, get dressed for field work, and meet us down here. We're heading out to the site. We'll have more info on the way. Change as fast as you are able, Miss Moon. It'll be rough work."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy nods, "One gig worth quite a bit," she says and thumbs toward Indy, "But I'll protect you guys, it's my new role. Don't worry," she promises and smiles. She doesn't mention any of the history she's heard.

Silk has posed:
In a flash, Cindy has the key, and she's away like a flash. She returns nearly as quickly as she disappeared, wearing khakis and a white long sleeved shirt, rolled up to the elbows, brown braided leather suspenders, and a more comfortable pair of brown leather joots-lace-up style. One hand carries a leather satchel. The other, a protein bar. She is trying to nosh it before they get to work. "Better?"

Indiana Jones has posed:
Indy nodded. "Much. Follow me, you two."

Indy headed to the parking lot, where a different car was waiting, an old Honda CR-V with multiple dents. He unlocked the door with the key Kasim had left for him, and soon they were on the road towards the temple.

As they went, Indy talked. He relayed how these special Wakandan beads were stolen, and it was their theory that the thief had hidden them in a labyrinth connected to the temple, only the entrance he used had been blocked off and recently re-discovered. These beads were next-level technology, but they had historical value. Cammy would take possession of the beads after Indy did a non-invasive analysis of them.
"She also said some people went after it already, only none came back. The place had been 'upgraded' many times over the years, so there could be ANYTHING down there."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy walks with Cindy and Indy through the parking lot to the car and explains some about her research as a SHIELD agent, "Nobody could tell you what's down there because I don't think anyone's been down there for years," she explains, "For some reason," she says ominously. "Where's Kasin?" she wonders.

Silk has posed:
" Probably ready to pop out and surprise us at any hive time," Cindy deduces. "So....you do this bodyguardin' gig often?

Indiana Jones has posed:
"Kasim is driving his taxi with three people who vaguely look like us. He was getting the feeling he was being followed." Indy looked around. "Now, it may be a simple matter of the agents getting blindsided by some trap, or they got wayliad by another group. Best to be ready for anything."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy puts her hands on her hips as she looks around for Kasim, "I'm ready for anything," she mutters and then looks at Cindy, "New job," she answers.

Silk has posed:
"I was born ready for anything. Besides waitin'," Cindy says, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. "I want excitement. I want action." She pulls an apple from her pocket, and takes a big bite. "So what now?"

Indiana Jones has posed:
Indy smirks. "We're using the entrance that was revealed recently. We're going to see if there are any signs of this other group Miss White spoke of, and see if we can find any sign of the beads or their hiding place. The thief may have left clues as to its location, because of the nature of the labyrinth." Indy took a deep breath. "And hope that Kasim led anyone following us far enough away that we get the beads before they know they were fooled."

Cammy White has posed:
Cammy glances at Indy, "But we're doing it incognito, right? Yeah, if it's all quiet...and under the rug," she says, making a slow UNDERNEATH motion with her hand, "We'll be fine," she explains, "Remember, you guys are researchers," she reminds them as she leans back in her seat.

Silk has posed:
"Sounds like a legitimately good cover, Indy." Cindy grins broadly and shoves one hand into her pants pocket while she eats her apple with the other. "I feel lucky. What could possibly go wrong?"
