Tyrone Slothrop's Desk

Partners in Crime

After looking through the rummage left by the Germans in a French casino, Slothrop is forced to continue his quest to find the 00000 Rocket in northern Germany. Following his quest in northern Germany, Slothrop became bored and decided to create his own alter-ego called the “Rocketman” who does all kinds of crazy things, including meeting King Kong in France, deployed by the US ARMY to ransack Germany. His boredom eventually caused him to turn himself into “Rocketman”, so he dresses himself using a white Zoot Suit and goes to The Berlin Whitehouse to steal drugs used by President Harry Truman (Part 3: In the Zone, Ep.36).

It started raining two hours ago, and ACHTUNG have not yet contacted me. Due to my tedious days here in France, I decided to do something with Rocketman today. Of course to be his partner in crime, I must dress like him so I went to this elegant French boutique, and there happened to be A WHITE ZOOT SUIT on display! Yes, the same one Rocketman is using. So I instantly asked the femme serviteur of how much the suit was and she replied with a smile saying 1,500 Euro.I was stunned by the price itself and even more shocked when I wonder how Rocketman could have gotten his own suit. Since I had 2,000 Euro during the time, I decided that there was nothing else to spend it on so I decided to purchase the classy suit to match Rocketman. I wore the same suit as Rocketman, but what’s the point of dressing up with Rocketman and not actually do some fun stuff right? So afterward, we decided to take a tour around Germany and one of our tour location was breaking a visit to The Berlin Whitehouse to see President S. Harry Truman. Even though Truman was not there, we managed to get our hand on an exclusive dried leaves of the Indian hemp plant called “hashish”. Man is this stuff really good! Rocketman seems to also be craving for some, but I careless to give him some due to the amount of trouble we went through and how high these things could take me.

A Collapsing Mind

Following Slothrop’s “tour” and quest around northern Germany, he was taken on a boat called “Anubis” by his friend named Gnahb (Part 3: In the Zone, Ep. 43). There he came across many sexually active women alongside very descriptive details of his engagement with two different sets of girl. Due to his daughter’s critical unknown illness and her eventual death, Slothrop’s mind digresses and falls into a state of full hallucination as he travels to the heart of northern Germany. Slothrop’s hallucination includes: meeting imaginary friends and foes who are Germans and Russians, following his future about going to Asia for his last mission, Kamikaze pilots approaching European cities to aid in the V-2 Rockets’ reign of terror, and countless travels to places around the world.  From here on, we see Slothrop’s plot coming to a sudden halt and his last thoughts, far before the novel’s ending (Part 4: The Counterforce, Ep. 67).

... typing this seems pointless to me... now that I’ve lost Bianca... there is no point for me to end this war and free the European countries...  No more point in searching for the conspiracies behind me...
However, this could serve as my own keeping journal so I may could recall a few memories in case that ACHTUNG will erase my mind in the near future...
Yesterday at exactly 0915 hours, Gnahb knocked on my hotel door and informed me that there was something urgent, and he would fill me in as soon as we get on the Anubis. But as soon as we got on the ship, there were girls...nude... blowing kisses everywhere and there was this one fine young Viennese girl that caught my eye from the very first start. We did many things together during the ship’s movement...  but what matters is that after my action with the girl, I decided to see my daughter in her hangar... And there I saw her, face pale as the snow of last December, lifeless like the Germans have taken her soul without a warning... Bianca’s death was unexpected... Now I have no one else in my life to look out for and love...
The next day’s night...
I don’t know of what had happened the night yesterday... it seems like Gnahb has taken care of Bianca’s body. You see, there is this pig called the Pig Hero feasting with his fellow Nazis companion... and soon the Red Army barged in to disrupt their feast and sabotaged the place... What a waste of good dinner, there was beer, wine, bread, Quark sausages, and gold-brown Kartoffelpuffer...
