“Now down to business”
OOC: During the next couple of hours Jacques will suggest the following; The next step is for all of you to reinforce your cover identities. The authorities check the most recent employer when doing routine background checks. So, you need to have an employment history in France. The biggest employer in Saint-Cerneuf is the Decharette copper mine, and they are always looking for labourers. He suggests that a couple of you should get work there – or at least pretend to. Helene’s brother Louis is the chief clerk at the mine, and it has already been arranged for an Engineer from Norway to arrive in a day or so.

Once you have established themselves and they are sure they are not under suspicion, they can get down to work. Of course you have all been issued with the necessary papers by London to provide a cover story for yourselves and your appearance in Saint-Cerneuf. What these are is for you to decide, be aware though claims of relatives in the immediate area will be difficult to prove Saint-Cerneuf is a fairly close community everyone knows everyone, for Finn obviously the cover as Ingmar Pedersson is ready to be activated, simply embellish the details. Oh, and everyone has no difficulty with the language. Of course Finn as a Norwegian Gastarbeiter has no need to worry too much about his command of French |
