And thus our heroes arrive - triumphantly - at the top of the new Silhouette Mountain, sooner than anybody could have imagined and in perfect shape! Their trip on the elevator was smooth and fast, especially compared to the last time they had to make their way up that mountain (i.e. the other mountain that is the same mountain). “Perfect shape” only applies to their physical shape, however - sad to say that everyone of them lost 1D20 SAN due to the German military marches that played in the background, widely acknowledged as the only elevator music potentially worse than the common elevator music. (Col. Muller is doing that on purpose, of course - after all, his soldiers use the elevator, too, and slightly insane soldiers are a lot easier to keep in line than perfectly sane ones would be.)

But practically all of the members of the team are pretty used to facing insanity-inducing circumstances, so I’m rather optimistic that they’ll regain at least most of the lost SAN in time for the next strip - more on Monday.
