Interlude Three - Colorado

* Minnie drinks tea and reads, mostly Jane Austen and other sanity inducing works
* Dr Sam builds a make-shift medical lab and keeps an eye on everyone. Lancet enjoys the wave winds along the continental divide.
* Ares maintains their physical regime. A lot of oiling and cleaning goes on. Also a lot of sleight of hand practice
* Hubert plays at every camp activity, thus recovering. He also sends Enrique updated measurements for a full wardrobe refresh. He also does quite a bit of self-tailoring to make things that fit
* Ares is turning yet more serpentine (scales, musculature, retracting fangs, etc).
* Discussions of how to limit / control the serpentine transformations that are occurring. Also discussions of how to treat Caduceus
* Talk fo the Pharoa, and their scepter and crown (the scepter is believed to still be in Caduceus' control)
* Minnie talks about the serpent fragment that she carries in her mind
* Hubert comes across a picture of Joshua Needham with his daughter (Rose), who is probably the woman they saw on the monitors in the Iceland vulcano. There was a fairly public schism between Joshua and Rose
* Dr Sam uses the flying bowls to upgrade his flying machine to enable vertical flight. Mental control is still being worked on
* Dr Sam posits making Ares a skin suit to cover up the serpentine nature of their texture
* Dr Sam and Ares have a heart to heart reaffirming their essential humanity, regardless of the transformations
* Minnie joins with the memories of whatever is in the canister, and finds the duality of Rose and the absolute serpent being. Rose is definitively one of the "others"
* Discussions of Yig vs Tsoggthua
* Ares is concerned that if they're going to fight Tsoggthua in the name of Yig, they're still going to need to be human-like
* The team is starting to realise that there are more than one serpentine power source

#### Interlude Three, Fit The Second

* Night sets in and as the heroes slumber, their minds dance between dreams to chase serpent gods and fitted suits.
* Dr Samuel Taylor-Thompson is busy keeping everyone alive whilst upgrading his flying machine
* The other three plot whose dreams to invade. The dice falls on Gonzales
* Minnie starts the dream in her apartment
* Ares Carter starts off in an endless pool of blood, staring off into the distance. They are neither, yet both, human or serpantine
* Minnie shows up and tells Ares Carter they're dreaming
* Meanwhile Hubert Smith is at a joust being both the white and black knights
* Minnie and Hubert Smith follow the serpent person fairy princess that quite clearly saw the pair of them
* The two of them find themselves back in the corridor of doors. Minnie leads the way to Ares Carter.
* Carter is standing in front of a General seated behind a large leather-covered oak desk. The entire scene is lit by a single bright light.
* The dream shifts to the Temple of the Dreamer, with the mummy that they recovered standing in their midst in the place of the general. But Ares Carter still has some control, so in the spotlight there is still the desk and a linoleum floor
* Ares Carter notes that the Queen / mummy is missing her crown. Her name is Tyrannish.
* She tells of the history of the powers that were when mankind was but young. The three ideas of how snakes and mankind could / should co-exist (if at all)
* Tyrannish claims that by following her and joining with her kind is Mankind's only hope to avoid the battle against the serpent kind, but she needs to return to the lost continent of Mu
* Ares Carter is willing to help Tyrannish if she can ensure them that she is not another despot destined to destroy a nation and its peoples.
* Tyrannish tries to separate the group into individuals, but the group resists.
* Apparently it is a race for the crown, before Mu rises in a matter of weeks.
* The group decides that Tyrannish no longer has a place in their dreams, and attempt to drive her away, which they do
* Hubert Smith recognizes that Tyrannish was not asleep whereever she is/was. There is a sense of heavy spices and traffic. Possibly India?
* The group decides not to go back to Caduceus officially, but rather to concentrate on the India lead.
* Minnie recognizes that the dream doors of the group are very recognizable. Tyrannish can quite probably find her way to their dreams.

#### Interlude Three, Fit the Third

* Ares, Minnie, and Hubert wake up from their dreams under the watchful eye of Dr Sam
* Discussion about using sleeping pills to avoid dreaming, as staying awake would be against the Geneva Convention on War Crimes
* Plans are made how to surprise Tyrannish
* Clues are left for whatever investigators come after the current four
* The journeys to India are left undescribed, but Ares' transformation is more an issue. How to get Ares travelling without looking completely inhuman.
* Dr Sam researches how to de-skin, then re-skin Ares. Ares is getting to grips with their ultimately serpentine self
* Dr Sam performs the de-skin procedure, bringing forth Snake Ares.
* Ares then eats their previous skin
* Minnie finds a rumour sheet at a train station in rural Canada talking about how Rose Needham has been spotted in Calcutta (Kolkatta). Also news that the Cobra Crown is about to go on show in Calcutta.
* Everyone arrives in Calcutta
* There is an attempted breakin to a room full of goons (no, not those Goons, even if it is India)
* The goons are fully serpent people
* Ares goes after the fleeing wall climber in a chase scene
* Hubert joins the chase as well
* Minnie drops the tea tray onto one of the pursuers before heading upstairs
* Dr Sam takes the lift going up
* At this point Rose Needham enters the lobby with a goon and head for the lift
* Dr Sam sabotages the lift
* Ares intimidates the snake that's escaping from their charming basket, but is cowered back into it
* Just after Hubert chases the assailants into a local restaurant, Dave calls the session to a halt
