I don't actually know what I am doing sometimes on the Forum; so all my quick replies seem to be going to the same place ? That seems to be the US Texas Battleship in your picture. I saw where they were towing it; as they had to make repairs for it in a different port. Southern girls are pretty, too ! I have another adventure to post; so I will stumble around Alizeeamerica till I see iif I can post it !

I am sorry for the late response. I have had a lot of on-and-off computer issues, plus I was in the middle of a hurricane (I live in Florida right in the middle of Hurricane Ian) with power loss, etc. So, I have not been able to be as active in the forum lately as I like.
The battleship in my picture is actually the USS Alabama, though I can see the resemblance to the USS Texas! My family is all from Alabama, and I have seen the battleship whenever I drove over Mobile Bay, where it is currently preserved as a museum ship in Battleship Memorial Park.

And I do not participate in the crimes of my defendants said Rousseau ! It's not about your Clients said the GM. Do we have Confidentiality ? Of Course; Attorney/Client Privilege said Rousseau ! It's above that; Top Secret said the GM ! The Rumor on the street is that you represent the Fairies and we wish to hire them ! Rousseau said; The Fairies do not like the government, You do many bad things in their opinion ! We need help against the Virus; said the GM and we are willing to Pay ! Hence our offer to the Fairies to Dance and Sing and work their Magic against the Virus ! You will have to pay the Fairies Price and my Fee said Rousseau ! And do not think to trick or Trap the Fairies as that might go bad for you ! I will draw up the contract and you can sign it and I will transmit it to the Fairy Queen for her signature. Agreed said the GM. He left and Rousseau spent the afternoon drawing up the legal contract. The next day he told Colette; I am going out for a while, I may be gone a couple days. He took a couple taxis around Paris to make sure he wasn't followed and then picked up an extra car he kept at a garage and drove to a second office he kept for special interviews. Then he put a Barbie Tinker Bell Doll in the window in its package and waited. He had a cot in the office to sleep in case he needed it and a small fridge for snacks. He played a game on the computer while he waited. In an hour there was a knock at the door. It was the Red Headed Sprite Mylene the Fairy Queen and several Drone Bodyguards.
You wanted to see me, said Mylene ? Yes the government wants to hire the Fairies to combat the Virus and they will pay you your fee and provide the venue and security said Rousseau. This looks in order; and you reminded them not to try to trick or trap us ? said the Queen. Of Course said Rousseau ! We will do it; said the Queen, I will sign under my Nome de Plume,
Mary Shelley said the Queen ! And so the deal was struck and the Fairies Danced and Singed and use their Magic against the Virus.
