The small team of diplomats watched the truck head away, up into the mountains.

[Language unknown: "Ad ulone nteerevor romtedstr ureas und llnoma?"] Tsimmermann asked, apparently genuinly wondering. Bhalla, Mattaki, Lena, Yelena, Zholdin and Julius looked at each other, then at the Allied officer and the two men he had brought with him.

Just ten people. They had been at least 13 in Berlin.

Tsimmermann addressed Zholdin: [Language unknown: "Weetos Evtewaro i et i ratreding has as forardhou we chlidi res Nt heprec el a lancss ch staro has lar anhiis tinonewit te u?"]

((We'll be enforcing Language groups more rigorously again for now.))

Yelena's gaze fixed on Tsimmerman at his question, and her look darkened a little. [Language unknown: "E wemesi artainsta a to, sinilo. T traoveprosom hond o. Acpaal ousbe llrine caiou ine ca rea ieon, utwhe?"]

The sniper moved closer to their new comrades as Zholdin was consulted, and addressed Sarwan. [Language unknown: "Om ssdin whe pr pl ecekan, mi, evewitoursonhis a Heurpe? Koressich, en peecas, u anyess'houkoroul?"]

Lena had beggared what pencils, pens and scrap paper she could.  They were suddenly very precious after all, but recording information was going to be critical.  She knew a lot of tricks for using the same page multiple times too.

Her ears perked up at that, it might be time to draw a map...

Captain Jackson pulled out a compass and looked at it, quizzically.
[Language unknown: "Fotail erster'somion deros ho of ckriet itunwi os itanpl ort nellme encticdin ma asacwe washerproect er forterlin ndith statineau o oretedrom?

[Language unknown: "K i waro os es mireat e pr, sonwh eendi Plntieofbepoer?llioit seteredin re. Wilersiou ntestrrom, ardnd ratsetstidin. Be us onsanyousughhas, ic ll ek red. E i moisce tipoal artthosta a eeeineil."] Bhalla said. It was hard to let go of her suspicions; these other tribes seemed kinder, but it was also more and more clear that they were also soldiers, and soldiers meant more war.

"[Language unknown: Tersi rom anntofwast ica enc elsini p somsomter ratno Tha toll'asro era.]"  Lena remarked, like that was also a good thing to do.  "[Language unknown: Ca taitos osthwa somdinate p ta e, ichlinone iv ratastiou witthuiou wil riaciv?]"

Lena was paying more attention here lately, she really needed to learn this native tongue.  And Russian.  No reason.

Mattaki turned to his little companion [Language unknown: ar earonsund K llhena str wheiit fi ilreol e K hi n fininc anywhesonsanant ichonsund stieenhis stri elthbe ha t whistalesnte om i i Mopl ourforons n siel'mate ]

Mattaki turned to the others after looking about for a moment to get his bearings before smiling and pointing off in the general location they needed to travel

[Language unknown: "Era weive ar et pllinc fi ni, setev m stioutpro ent shesherut'ndeeau m urad Illnteoer thontieau era for ssunivet ncecme o patr. Miugh acendi ver ssneiv redac U, iou?

[Language unknown: "Ri ol erasonave wiwhle, eenck tiaris ur tra actotr. Proeveted, ouofar, wipoha, lemiee. All ekart fo u siss."] She pointed vaguely east; she was still not exactly sure where they were, but that was where she had come from months ago. [Language unknown: "Ul ble Iciees."]

The British captain sighed.
"Miss Vogt, if you please - I believe we could either go back up the mountain where we found that fellow on the stick and see if we find any locals up there. But that could've been a raiding party, too.

Or we go to either of these places - Fischbach, or Reinhardsdorf" He indicates the road signs.

"At least the latter seemed to had some distinctive un-German features, if the translation the Russians provided was to be trusted."

Yelena was a little perplexed by the lack of direction she was getting from the locals. Though the captain of the British forces at least had some idea of a next step, which probably was as good as they were going to have.

He did look at Pennsylvania for direction, so Yelena also looked at her with a patient smile.
