Once again, Alek could work with this. After she was escorted to her room, Alek stepped in and locked the door behind her immediately, more so out of habit than anything else. She walked to the window, and looked down as the camp she'd been confined to for the past three months burned to the ground. Alek gave a low whistle. Whoever found out about her, they were professionals, that's for sure. Gently extracting her notebooks, Alek grabbed one and scribbled down some information on the zeppelin before tucking the small stack under her pillow. It may have sounded odd, but she never had much trouble in the concentration camp--and she certainly wasn't as cautious (or rather, paranoid) as one would expect a POW to be.
What could she say? She took things in stride.
Alek rummaged around her room for a towel and perhaps clean clothes before wondering down the hall towards the bathroom--suspicions can wait until after her first real shower in three months.

Konrad would take a moment to look upon the massive flying machine, having seen them heading off on bombing runs, but never so close, and never as advanced as this. Walking towards the machine, he'd pull of a glove on his hand, and run it across the metal. Walking up the ramp, he'd enter into the ship, and after being shown his room, would lay down in his bed. For an hour he'd lie there, fighting for a slumber that would not come. The bed was to soft, the room to quiet, so after a time, he'd get out of bed, and walk through the halls, before finding a window large enough. Pulling it open, he'd step up onto the ledge, and with a smile, let himself go, plunging down through the air, feeling the rush of wind in his face. He embraced the skies like a lover reunited, and as he passed through the clouds, he reached out, and his wings manifested. He'd soar through the heavens, keeping the Zeppelin in sight as he went, forgetting the worries of the world below, if only for a time. Up here, he was no longer Konrad, a soldier fighting for the glory of the Fatherland, no longer watching his comrades die in droves at his side.
Up here, he was free.

Arzu gently put his things down on his bed. He thought about doing a couple hundred push ups, but that could wait. Right now, he had to work on his diplomatic face.

Leonore was a little bit stunned at the pick up. As she climbed aboard, she took a quick survey of the zeppelin before being escorted to her room. As they were about to turn, she asked "Where are we headed to? And I want to know WHO you are, this instant!" She asked in an angry, but controlled tone.
One of the staff turned to her and replied, "We will be headed to a remote base in Switzerland, known as 'Rumpelkumbo'.", before shutting the door to Leonore's room.
Shocked and irritated, Leonore punched the door before taking a seat and burying her face into her hands. "What am I gonna do..." She muttered in irritance.

The zeppelin was a little sparse for Kitty's liking, but she could deal with it for the time being. She attempted to get comfortable, but it was a little difficult in the confines of the zeppelin. She sat down and waited to reach her destination.

The zeppelins, coordinated carefully to arrive at the same time, circled base Rumpelkombo. They landed together in a open space amongst the mountains, a short walk from the base itself. Soldiers from each zeppelin would inform them quite simply that they'd know when it was time for briefing, before opening the zeppelins to reveal the beautiful Alpines. The base itself wasn't entirely a base, mostly being a mansion surrounded by buildings that would vaguely resemble a quaint village if it wasn't for the soldiers marching to and fro amongst them. Behind the mansion itself was the actual traditional military base. Besides the occasional emblem of the Swedish Confederation or American flag, most of everything remained unmarked, besides the occasional phrase 'Ex Oblivione.'
Ilya, already deep into the alcohol he had on hand, mumbled as soldiers pulled him out of his room, and yelled curses as the zeppelin opened to the bright light of day.

Arzu made his way off the zeppelin as quickly as possible. He just wanted to get this over with. He looked around wondering what to do.

The zeppelins landed, and as they opened Leonore walked out and stretched her neck. "Chilly... but not that cold." She muttered before looking around at the other zeppelins nearby and the people exiting from them. Letting out a sigh, Leonore kept still with her arms at her side and prepared her finger cannon in case of the worst to come.

As Kitty left the plane, a wide grin spread across her face. "O-ho. This could certainly be interesting...but I need to figure out what's happening here." Kitty began to look around at the other zeppelins, wondering who else had been brought under such circumstances.

Flying alongside the Zeppelin, Konrad would feel the air grow chill as they approached mountains, and decided to return to his quarters if only for the time being. Laying in his bed in his room, he'd finally find a light measure of sleep.
______
As they arrived at their destination, Konrad was awoken by the sounds of military boots outside his door, his luger in hand, before it opened, and his escorts would call for him. Calming down, he'd mumble something resembling a thank you, and gather his duffel bag, before making his way outside of the Zeppelin. Looking upon the picturesque scene, Konrad would be directed towards the mansion, as he began to march. He could hardly believe his eyes, for it had been to long since he'd seen the peace of a country not at war. For a moment, he resented the Swiss for not lending their aid to the conflict, but the anger would be quelled by his own opinion of that Hell. In some ways, the Swiss were wise to ignore the sabre rattling of the other nations, and their country would emerge unscathed from the Great War.
Once inside, he'd look about the grand entryway, not exactly sure where to go. His eye would be drawn to the latin words, written quite often he'd seen, as he tried to translate it.

Oh Allah. Arzu thought. That woman over there looked German. Well, time to avoid her. Arzu walked silently past Kitty and towards the main hall.

When the knock came, echoing through her small room, Alek was shrugging on the last piece of the simple soldier's uniform she'd found, lying neatly in a drawer. It would seem they have arrived, Alek noted dully as she retuned her notebooks to her new jacket and buttoned it up. She gave herself one last inspection before she walked out, and nodded with satisfaction at what she saw. Aleksis has never had much of a feminine physique, with broad shoulders and a muscular build from her military career, and her current getup only asserted her mock masculinity. The only womanly feature she now retained was her face, and even that had been half obscured by her large pilots' goggles. She turned to the side to ensure that her chest was bound correctly, then stepped out into the sun as Alek Kaidanovski--the alias differing only in gender.

As soon as they had landed, the Days were nowhere to be found. And then they were everywhere. "What's that? Are we gonna get gunses?" "Hey, Mr. Soldier, do you know where I can find someone to play with?" "I'm a little hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" "Hey, it's the other people!" "Why are there flags everywhere?" "We're in the mountains!"

Oh Allah, children too. He was going to hate this, Arzu thought.

Kitty sighed. She wasn't impressed by the others she had seen so far. She supposed it was par for the course though, given that there were so few on her level. She decided to walk towards the main hall like the rest, hoping she would be proven wrong in time.
