The SWAT Kats meet Callie down below in front of the Museum where they ask her why she called. She replies that she didn’t call and looks at them confused. They ask to see her communicator and she shows it to them, thus the one in the duffel is not hers. Callie also informs them some strange occurances have happened concerning the MBI being approved. The SWAT Kats soon leave and take duffel with them. Razor thinks someone’s just gotten on their frequency and they’ll need to change it. Both agree they’ll look into the MBI approval mystery.
Josie and Tasha are in the breakroom and discuss what happened at Megakat Biochemical. Jase enters and they get a strange call then another from Felina who wants some help in the Megakat Biochem case. Jase, Tasha and Josie all go down there where Felina gives them a rundown of the crime scene. Seems Viper wasn’t the one who set the fire, but someone else using gas in the vents to cause it to spread so quickly. Jase spots a camera and notes it’s hardly damaged despite everything else being burnt. They get it down and begin to examine it.

<RazorSK> Actually, we followed a false signal we thought was from your communicator.
<TashaForge> Good. :;gets up for another cup of coffee::
<JosieLyons> I heard about that blaze incident and Dr. Viper. Sorry we didn’t make it… Ryder took a wrong turn and things went wrong from there.
<Callie_Briggs> My communicator? :: reaching into matching handbag/purse. Withdraws her communicator and holds it up so they can see :: <Communicator> :: is not active ::
<TashaForge> ::small smile. sits back down:: don’t worry about it. We handled it. You just missed some nasty goopy junk and some creepying critters is all.
<JosieLyons> ::smirks:: Is it true that the SWAT Kats arrived on the scene?
<T-BoneSK> ::stare:: Okay. What is going on?
<TashaForge> Yep! They were there. Actually got to work with them a bit while we all searched for the rest of the enforcers and the captain.
<RazorSK> Looks like someone’s figured out our signal.
<JosieLyons> That so? ::sips coffee:: And what did you think of them?
<T-BoneSK> Who else would know?
<TashaForge> ::Shrugs:: They were good. They seemed to know what they were doing. They were a big help to us.
<Callie_Briggs> Someone else knows? :: confused look :: But I thought you said this signal could only be generatred by the communicators that you made, Razor?
<RazorSK> That’s what they used. ::produces the battered communicator from the roof and shows it to her::
<T-BoneSK> ::arches a brow, doesn’t get it::
<Callie_Briggs> That looks just like mine… :: holds hers up ;; Although, the one you’re holding seems… I don’t know… different somehow.
<JosieLyons> Hmm… ::nods:: Well I hope they do know what they’re doing. We’re a bit too close to their vigilante status for my liking and if they mess up, I’d rather not have the MBI be grouped with them.
<TashaForge> ::smirks:: well I don’t see them messing up. I’ve only heard good things about them
<RazorSK> Yeah. We just found it here, so I haven’t had the chance to really examine it yet.
<T-BoneSK> What’s the difference, buddy?
<JosieLyons> So have I but… Commander Feral doesn’t trust them much and they’ve given him an awful headache.
<Callie_Briggs> Well, whatever is happening I’m sure you’ll figure it out. And, seeing as you’re here… :: as she puts her communicator away :: … there are some things I’ve been meaning to talk to you about.
<RazorSK> ((Er… He just said he didn’t know… yet.))
<RazorSK> Like what?
<T-BoneSK> ((Sorries!))
<T-BoneSK> Oh?
<Callie_Briggs> I know you guys don’t like to get invovled in the bureaucratic mess that I constantly delve into everyday, but certain things have been very strange.
<T-BoneSK> Stranger than usual?
<RazorSK> ((<Callie> Firstly, the copier. It won’t collate. ::bats her eyes at Razor:: ))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((LOL))
<TashaForge> I don’t know a lot about the commander but he always seems to be in a bad mood whenever I see him.

<T-BoneSK> (BRB! Getting hot choco!0)
<JosieLyons> (( <Callie> Have you noticed that after that Katastrophe incident with Viper, Dark Kat and the Metallikats, my ears are a bit longer, my eyelashes a bit pointy deadlier, and my mouth opening up larger than it normally should? It’s almost like I’m… in an anime… my fanclub claims I am sometimes even. <T-Bone and Razor> … ))
<TashaForge> ((::DIIIIES!::))

<JosieLyons> ::chuckles:: That’s because of everything he has to deal with. ::smiles::
<Callie_Briggs> :: explains the situation regarding the MBI, and the city council members who were either poisoned, or had mysterious abrupt changes of opinion only to quit their jobs and disapear after they approved the MBI :: Feral is still conducting his investigation, but he’s run into all kinds of roadblocks. It’s almost as if someone or something is acting behind the scenes.
<RazorSK> ((::DEAD:: <Razor> Well, I’ve had this problem with my cheekfur… <T-Bone> Hey, *I’m* the one you almost sliced apart the last time I had to carry you.))
<TashaForge> ((LOL!))
<TashaForge> Heh..yeah…dad came home in a foul mood some nights too. ::sips coffee::
<LizzieSelkirk> ((LOL))
<JosieLyons> ((LOL! XD))
<RazorSK> Huh… ::distantly wonders if it’s connected to their latest weirdness… it doesn’t seem likely… but the Viper situation was oddly manipulated as well… tho’ the MBI agents weren’t around at the time::
<JosieLyons> I think it comes with having such a high position of authority.
<TashaForge> Yeah I think so too. I can only imagine with all the stuff dad told me that went on I never knew about. It was shocking really
<Callie_Briggs> I don’t know who would gain from having the MBI brought to fuition. It was inevitable, but it’s almost seemingly pushed ahead of schedule. It’s all quite strange. I almost became Mayor today actually…
<JosieLyons> Oh? He shared horror stories with you and your brother?
<T-BoneSK> Do huh?!
<RazorSK> How did that happen?
<RazorSK> ((<Callie> Well, Manx got off on this tangent about how he’d have more time for golf if he retired and he finally said I could be mayor and left. But, he called from the golf course twenty minutes later and stammered on about how he was just joking.))
<TashaForge> A few yes. ::snickers:: Scare a person out of wanting to be a commander thats for sure.
<JosieLyons> ((::DIES!::))
<Callie_Briggs> Manx’s limo was almost crushed by an airplane wheel that fell off during its landing approach. You might as well guess where he was when this happened.

<Callie_Briggs> Manx wasn’t nearly as taken back by the situation as the chauffuer was. He told me over the phone that he tried starting the car but the battery was dead. Moments later the wheel hit the ground several yards ahead. Afterwards, he told me the car started just fine. All of this was in front the MBI building after the Mayor made a personal visit regarding his daughter.
<TashaForge> ((LOL! we in lockdown guys! Annu’s our prison guard. Ain’t that scary? XD))

<JosieLyons> ((<Tasha> … yes. @_____________@ ::twitches:: <Josie> ::scoots back::))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((LOL))
<RazorSK> ::actually, already took the communicator to show her since it was non-incriminating::
<TashaForge> ::shrugs:: Not THAT much bending! ::shakes head:: I just know sometimes situations don’t go according to the plan so you gotta improvise. If that improvisation bends the rules, then so be it.
<T-BoneSK> Okay. So now we’re assuming this whole thing is to either 1) inciminate the MBI, or 2) help it.
<RazorSK> While this… ::hefts the bag they found:: …looks like it was made to incriminate us. ::stows the bag in the jet as he gets in::
<JosieLyons> I don’t know if I agree on that. The rules seem to work just fine. Those who have to bend them just gave up on finding a proper way.
<TashaForge> ((<Razor> actually I think thats “incinerate” the MBI…))
<JosieLyons> ((::DIIES::))

<JosieLyons> ::listens to them quietly. ready to go she is XD::
<JasonKorat> All part of the job, I suppose. I’ll go change into uniform and meet you two in the parking lot.

<JasonKorat> Yours? ::hasn’t seen it::
<JosieLyons> I think maybe it would be best if we take mine.

<TashaForge> Aww why? ::grins more at Josie::
<JasonKorat> It doesn’t matter to me. We can take mine, for all I care. We just need to get there.
<JosieLyons> Then yours it is, Sir.
<TashaForge> Darn…::goes with Jase! you guys are no fun XD::
<JasonKorat> ::sigh XD:: Very well. :motions, goes towards the jeep he and his sister co-own::

<JasonKorat> :returning the handshake:: Unfortunately. What did you find?
<JosieLyons> ::listening as she looks at the building’s remains::
<TashaForge> ::listening as well. taking in the scene around her::
<Felina_Feral> I’ll show you :: turns around, leading the way towards the building ::
<JasonKorat> ::follows after her::
<JosieLyons> ::follows Felina ‘n Jase::
<TashaForge> ::follow the leaders!::
<Felina_Feral> :: enters in one of the broken doors, passing by other Enforcers that are milling about. Takes them down some concrete stairs that have been scorched towards a basement area ::
<JosieLyons> ::taking note of things as they go::
<JasonKorat> ::watches his step, helping with a flashlight as they go::
<TashaForge> ::ditto! glancing around at the remains of the building as they go::
<Felina_Feral> This is where the fire started :: gestures to a corner where a ventilation system formerly was :: It spread thoughout the building, using the ventilation system somehow, which leads us to blieve that some kind of gas was pumped into the vents at some point ahead of time.
<JasonKorat> So none of this was an accident.
<TashaForge> ::Frowns at that. looks around the area some as they talk::
<JosieLyons> ::doesn’t like the sound of that::
<Felina_Feral> Far from it. Video survelance, before it was taken offline, showed Viper upstairs the entire time. He was looking for something in the Katalyst vault, and then the fire started.
<JasonKorat> Huh… Was anyone else in the building besides him?
<Felina_Feral> Several scientists and support personal. We’re still examining the surviving video footage.
<JasonKorat> Okay. So attempted manslaughter can be ruled in. Destruction of private property… ::shining his flashlight around::
<JasonKorat> Arson…
<JosieLyons> ::wonders if someone knew Viper was in the building when this happened::
<JosieLyons> ::doesn’t dare say anything though lol::
<Felina_Feral> There’s one more detail. Witnesses including my uncle have mentioned that whatever Viper was looking for wasn’t here when he came looking for it. Something called Katalyst X100. Apparently it was a critical element to whatever plans he had with all of those plant monsters.
<JasonKorat> Katalyst X100… how come we’ve never heard of it?
<TashaForge> ::taking all this in. wonders who was out to get viper XD::
<Felina_Feral> It’s some new type of mutagen, recently developed within the past few days. It was scheduled for testing the day of the fire. The scientists never got a chance as Dr. Viper moved to steal it and apparently use it for something. I suppose it was a stroke of good luck that he didn’t get his hands on it.
<JasonKorat> Our tax dollars at work. Wonderful.
<Felina_Feral> We’re still in the process of trying to determine what happened to the Katalyst, as it remains unaccounted for. It may have been destroyed in the fire, it may not have been. We’re looking for clues related to its disapearance, and the identity of this arsonist.
<JosieLyons> ::speaks up now finally:: Who would have had access to the katalyst, Lt. Commander ma’am?
<Felina_Feral> All of the head scientists have already been questioned and their alibis appear to valid. We’re still reviewing surveilance records. If you’d like a copy of them I could arrange it.
<Felina_Feral> ((to be even))
<TashaForge> ::listening still and looking around a bit as they talk::
<JasonKorat> That’d be fine. Any idea what this katalyst does?
<Felina_Feral> Not a clue. It’s in a highly developmental phase.
<Felina_Feral> ((<Felina> Probably nothing logical or productive or useful for the benefit of society))
<JasonKorat> ((DEAD))
<LizzieSelkirk> ((lol))
<JosieLyons> ((LOL!!))
<JasonKorat> Great. So we’re gonna be left iin the dark unless something major comes up…
<TashaForge> ((LOL!!))
<Felina_Feral> I usually prefer that part of the job to this. Investigation isn’t my favorite part of the job.
<JasonKorat> ::sighs:: So what we have to do now is try and find this katalyst..
<JosieLyons> ::yey! it will find us I’m sure XD::
<Felina_Feral> Or the culprit. I have a feeling that they’re more than likely linked.
<TashaForge> ::you know you it will! its in the job description XD::
<JasonKorat> ::nods:: WE’ll look into it and keep you informed, Lt. Feral.
<Felina_Feral> :: nods, then hears someone calling her from upstairs :: If you’ll excuse me… :: heads back up ::
<TashaForge> Well sounds like our job just got interesting. ::smirks a bit::
<JosieLyons> More like difficult.
<JasonKorat> Well, we’re gonna have to take whatever is thrown at us.
<TashaForge> ::nods:: yeah. So where shall we start? here or up where that thing was?
<JasonKorat> I’m leaving that up to you two. ::smiles:: Where would you start looking?
<JosieLyons> Around here, sir, at the source of where the fire ignited but I’m sure it’s been picked through already.
<JasonKorat> Whatever Enforcer Forensics could find anyway. ::shines his light around::
<TashaForge> ::nods to Josie:: perhaps we can find a point of entry and track whoever it was? I mean if they came through the front door thats one thing but if they came in another way we might could find it and trace their steps.
* Felina_Feral is now known as Enforcer_Investigator
<JasonKorat> ::nods:: Good idea. See any sewage grates?
<TashaForge> Dunno yet. ::Starts looking. careful with the debris in case some of it could be evidence::
<JosieLyons> ::looks around as well cautiously:: Do you think they managed to get anything out of Dr. Viper himself?
<Enforcer_Investigator> <Debris> :: is standard debris, without much or anything particular in it :: <Points of entry> :: no sewage grates :: <Video Camera> :: up in the corner, is damaged… ::
<JasonKorat> Doubt Viper’d talk, but I don’t think he even knows about the fire…
<JasonKorat> ::shines light on camera::
<TashaForge> Same here. ::notes him looking at Camera:: what is it?
<Enforcer_Investigator> <Video Camera> :: is damaged and twisted as if impacted by something. Shows no signs of having been burnt ::
<JosieLyons> ::glances back at them a moment, then continues looking around::
<JasonKorat> ::eyes narrow:: Hold this. ::to Tasha, hands her the flashlight:: Keep shining it up there.
<TashaForge> Yes, sir. ::Takes flashlight and shines it up there::
<JasonKorat> Lyons, I’ll give you a boost. Can you get that camera up there?
<JosieLyons> ::blinks, turns and hurries over. peers up:: Yes sir.
