Napoleon and the ICops

Napoleon has been defeated, and lies languishing in the middle of the south Atlantic, off the coast of Africa only in the sense that its closer than South America. He will soon be poisoned to death*.

Infinity wants Napoleon. A body double of Napoleon can be useful. The real deal, loyal to you? that's a treasure. But first you have to get napoleon.

This is on an Echo, so precautions must be taken to avoid changing the timeline. The exact manner of death of Napolean is the sort of thing that can change timelines. St. Helena is a tiny island. You need to come up with a body, fake his death, convince him to play along, and do so in a high security situation with the eyes of the world watching.

Hopefully a little technology will go a long ways.


If the GM thinks this is too easy, run this as swagmen or a rouge special ops team instead. Or throw that sort of group into the scramble for the exiled emperor.



*It is undetermined if he was historically deliberately poisoned, accidentally poisoned by the wallpaper, or if stomach cancer killed him. A clever GM can use this fact to make the mission harder.
