I'm not sure if we're having miscommunications or what, but even after re-reading anything posted in the past six weeks I'm missing where the ideas to get the bus to the island are dead-ending. I haven't seen Rockopolis telling us an idea won't work.
It seems pretty straightforward to pay to get ourselves and the bus to Honolulu. Depending on who is negotiating with the smugglers (hopefully the ever-charming Silk), it shouldn't cut too badly into our budget. Cargo ship or cargo zeppelin, either way easily be able to fit the bus into their manifest.
From what Rockopolis said, we could even use something similar to get from Honolulu to the island. I'm not sure what Chrona and Rockopolis resolved in PMs, but this could also be a relatively easy travel depending on how we're planning on having the vehicles treated on the island.
As for handling the vehicles on the island, there hasn't been any word from the GM saying no (or even discouraging) either:
- finding what the unfinished facility is using for vehicles, getting Gaunt's bus and the jeep to blend in, then getting them falsely registered in the vehicle pool
- having the vehicles included in our reservation-approved equipment... if a fake reservation looks official enough and passes scrutiny, the sheer inertia of corporate beaureaucracy should have their personnel not questioning why we have our own vehicles. It's the, "obviously someone higher up the food chain approved this, and I'm just following orders," effect.
