I don't even *want* too imagine where "Rudolph and Honey Buns" (a pair of
Trideo Stars with, how shall we say, *OBVIOUS* Bioware modifications that
grace the telecom waves of the HHH Universe these days) would fit into this
one....

And here I just thought the time the players here all went through the
details on their ID's, smuggling their "special" gear through other
channels/routes, and they took the airplane to the Las Vegas-Sky Harbor
International Airport...

You know, all would have been fine until as they were getting off the plane,
some of them were escorted off to "speak with a security guard about
something we've noticed". Though no where *near* as funny as the
"Shadowstreakers" incident described above ... the mistake was that the
*WHOLE* group forgot about the Shapeshifter character who had a *LEGAL SIN*
as a mundane person. Oh yeah, real misfits they became after that one.

And then, to top everything off, the other third of the party (one third in
detention, one third going an entirely different route) decided to try a
distraction tactice near the baggage check-in area.

(George) "Oh my God, is that? Is that? A .... BOMB!!!!???!!!!!"

Ensuing chaos was well into first class at least....
