Lancelot/Lady: Train-Robbery [Beryl]

A Story by Abishai100

A 'grand-epic' lovely musketeer/heist/vigilante 'fable' on a moving-train, 'chess' tied with blood-diamonds (darkness) and arguably wrought fashion (for all).

A fun heist-motion 'faerie-tale' inspired (much!) by The First Great Train Robbery (Michael Crichton) and featuring 'iconic' characterizations from Arthurian legends. Thanks for reading!

Let me tell you the tale of a reincarnated knight from Camelot (Lancelot!) named Amlan Satan who sought an eco-vigilante 'deed' on a moving impressive American Homeland train moving (rumored) 'blood-diamonds' (Ion-company) from Sierra Leone and requiring the sort of 'theatrics' that made for 'fun' commentary for consumerism/insurance in our Selfie-culture of incomplete-distances to pedestrianism/lifestyle photo-graphics.

Lancelot (Amlan Satan) had a special consultant for this deed-on-a-train, an eco-warrior lawyer in Boston (New England) named Ezzy Harris who (surely) became his guide, his 'Lady-of-the-Lake' for this ideation of capitalism-race 'chess-stalemate' defense(s) for treasure-insurance games/commentary as Xmas-consumerism fast approached in the States (wow).

EZZY: You're replacing the blood-diamonds in the train-safe with beryl.

SATAN: Aha, an eco-minerals 'insurance-statement' for discovery in commerce?

EZZY: These smuggled gems have seeped into overground markets from wars.

SATAN: Ugly; eco-ugly; thanx for the consult(s), my darling lady (Ezzy).

EZZY: You must get the key to the safe-room of the train; kept by an exec.

SATAN: I'll get the saint-fatso drunk (absinthe) and make a wax-impression.

EZZY: For copy (metallurgy/Home-Depot?).

SATAN: Something like this...for beryl (for us).

The night before the train-adventure, Amlan Satan (Lancelot) had a vision in dream-sleep in which he was visited by his Old-Camelot spirit-guide, the Lady of the Lake, who'd counseled him through family-challenge and kingdom-complication(s), and she told him to remain 'vigilant' for eco-warfare in this treasure-motions Earth of distance for the 'art(s)' of fortune-readings (for the Ego).

LADY: May you find patience in those freeze-moments of vanity, Lancelot!

AMLAN SATAN: As Lancelot, Lady, I'll 'keep' my key-trophy a success for bread.

LADY: And for capitalism/photo-synthesis (excellence).

INSPECTOR: The train-safe burned with locally-made acid and gems-swapped?

MANAGER: With beryl, inspector!

INSPECTOR: The acid was made in the train-wash-room.

MANAGER: Our suspicion; the culprit was an 'agent' perhaps with chemical-IQ.

INSPECTOR: Perhaps an (Interpol-relation) inside-man?

MANAGER: There was an artist on-board (Amlan Satan) intrigued by a lady.

INSPECTOR: The lady?
MANAGER: A 'guest' of the Ion-company boasting about blood-diamond gossip.

INSPECTOR: This Amlan Satan talked about chemistry?

MANAGER: Passengers mused he sang a song about eco-pollution paranoia!

INSPECTOR: Coincidence (perhaps).

The train-station locker box with some piece of luggage left-behind where Amlan placed (more) beryl after burning it open with (more) acid was discovered by the case-inspector (Hercules) who insisted this was some Ion-company 'rival' stunt for insurance-criticism, given the company's 'pronounced' (if rumored) work(s) with treasure-motions of conspicuousness 'drawing' blood-diamond/insurance gossip and society rumors (for social media).

Who was this 'lady-guest' of the Ion-company who provided some in-journey passenger storytelling about blood-diamonds that drew the song-and-dance 'sideshow' by Amlan Satan, who obviously 'used' the lady's charm(s) to paint himself as a confusing 'distraction' for the main-event of the blood-diamond (rumored) raid (and beryl-swap). Was this some mod-classic 'fable' about the quality of treasure-insurance superstitions (for cinema/gossip/hyperbole)? You decide.

LADY-GUEST: This guy was masked and sunglassed (Amlan Satan) and theatrical!

INSPECTOR: You claim he presented himself as eco-paranoid (Coronavirus, etc.)?

LADY-GUEST: I wonder if he was some Oswald-figure in this treasure-game, sir!

INSPECTOR: Fear not...there's (much) 'copycat' praise tracks for insurance-IQ.

LADY-GUEST: This entire blood-diamond eco-paranoia's drawn 'hippie' trail?

INSPECTOR: Doubtless (for social media hyperbole).

EZZY: Did you enjoy the train examination(s), Mr. Satan?
SATAN: I dreamt becoming advised (and moved) by the Lady of the Lake, Ezzy!

EZZY: With you as the (reincarnated) knight (Lancelot)?

SATAN: The train of treasure(s) surely offers us that 'fantasy' for heroics.

EZZY: Good.

CYBER_FANZINE: The Ion-company 'show' train boasts some world-fare of gold.

EZZY: How much was taken (blood-diamonds/insurance)?

SATAN: $20M...some for Interpol-relation exchange/commission (for all!).

EZZY: Adapt all this into some artwork, Amlan Satan.

SATAN: Only if you become a 'character' in the faerie-tale, Ezzy.

EZZY: Oh fine.

The key was procuring that safe-room key for the Ion-show train from an association exec (a Donald Sutherland) who 'foolishly' allowed Satan to make a thick candle-wax imprint for a metal-copymake for the use in this heist of vigilantism definition offering a social-media 'marketing bread' for post-9/11 era antiterrorism/piracy journals. Blood-diamonds were after all tied with a 'rogue' organization.

Of all the trains of all the Earth, why/how did Amlan/Ezzy target with flourish this Ion-show locomotive for motives concerning the incomplete-distance to materialism-readings for vigilantism/bureaucracy? Well, perhaps even Leo DiCaprio, whose (relevant) film Blood Diamond which drew 'eye(s)' for eco-capitalism examinations, would claim this 'faerie-tale' was one for the leviathan-books (hmm).

EZZY: Pumpkin soup (with luchi/croissant bread)?

AMLAN SATAN: What else...for the 'bread' of Earth-fortune?

Why beryl? Is it because its sharp appearance texture reminds (all) of diamonds? Is it because the 'sound' of beryl invokes an age-old (past) of innocence and fortune's 'brighter' superstition(s)? Perhaps both reasons reveal why Amlan/Ezzy chose the beryl-swap at the station and inside the train for Ion-insurance revelations/gossip/comedy! We do know that we (all) arguably may 'believe' that Mr. Amlan Satan was (in deed) the reincarnated complicated sword-knight of Camelot himself (Lancelot). Thanks for reading.
