Pierre is able to easily launch himself onto the side of the train. Using the latter as leverage he quickly situates himself and begins looking around for an open box car.

Hopping inside the boxcar Blaise is surprised to find it empty. He quickly settles in getting some rest as the train moves onward.

Blaise rides the train through the night. Passing through the small town without incident. Several hours latter the train stops at a freight yard. A jolting motion indicates that several more cars have been added, but no one comes to check the car that Blaise is resting in. Another hour or two passes before the first signs of daylight trickle into the car. It will soon be full light.

As the light rises, Pierre is treated to a beautiful view of the french scenery, through the slats on his rail car. As the train progresses closer to Paris, the number of roads, buildings and vehicles steadily increases.

As Blaise watches he sees a train signal indicating that the tracks have been switched. The indicated path is labeled as a Pairs bypass route.

"Merde!" Blaise curses as he realizes he'll have to switch trains. He waits for the train to slow down before jumping off. |

The train begins to slow down expectantly, as Blaise looks out and forward he can see military vehicles ahead in the distance. They appear to be cargo vehicles and are parked next to the track.

Realizing that this empty boxcar might be intended for those soldiers, Blaise takes advantage of the slowed train and hops off. |

Re: Operation Medusa Infiltration Pierre (Savagebob)
Blaise watches carefully, he sees nearly a full platoon of men board the train along with several cargo trucks full of crates and supplies As he watches he hears a twig snap. Glancing towards the sound he sees two German soldiers with their rifles slung moving in his direction. The face of one soldier is light up by the light of a cigarette. Elongated shadows created by the rising sun obscure much of the features and mask many of the details about the two figures.

Re: Operation Medusa Infiltration Pierre (Savagebob)
The elongated shadows provide many locations of concealment. However as Blaise looks around he finds a low spot obscured by bushes large enough to slide into. The spot is ideal as it would provide both cover and camouflage. Slipping into the spot he listens to the guards. The tone of the conversation seems conversational, but without speaking German Blaise is unsure of the context. The two guards pause momentarily near his hiding spot before moving further on.

Re: Operation Medusa Infiltration Pierre (Savagebob)
Fortunately the train is only delayed for 20 minutes. The sun has risen to the point of providing full daylight in the area. The soldiers dawdle for another twenty minutes before moving on. After the first encounter the foot patrol passed by Blaise's location twice more during that time, never seeming to notice his presence.

With the danger passed, Blaise locates the proper track going to Paris-centre. He then finds a spot to hop on. |

Blaise is easily able to identify the correct road and beings his long hike into the city. His travels in all take the entire day and he enters pairs only a couple hours before curfew.
