Trina has looked over the information Glitch gave her concerning the cyberkats. Stormcrow finishes up cleaning the lobby from the attack of those drones when Sypher arrives from another unsuccessful hunt for Matrix (who still resides in Trina’s computer, unknown to her). A kat named Ashcoat enters the building with a filled out application seeking employment. Trina has Stormcrow show him around and gets him a uniform while she gets Sypher to take a look at those drones for a second opinion. The drone Sypher looks at says a few things concerning destruction, orders and the last thing they get it to say is “Dark Kat”.
Fletch, Josie and Joe wait at the docks for Derringer to show so that Joe can introduce the other two to Derringer. Derringer does finally show up and after hearing Fletch and Josie’s stories for wanting to join up, he gives them the benifit of the doubt and sends the three out to deliver a recent shipment of katnip to a drop off point for distrubution. During conversation between Derringer and Joe, Fletch and Josie learn that Joe not only worked for Derringer years ago, but was also a ‘nip addict. Unsettled by this, the three agree to discuss it later after they make the drop. They put tracers on the crates before they arrive to track them. The drop off goes sucessful with a purple haired she-kat who gives them the money that’s to go back to Derringer along with a message that “Enzo sends his love”. After dropping off the money, they head back to the MBI where Joe goes to lay down as Derringer had practically forced Joe to try some of the ‘nip earlier and its effects were getting to him. Josie informs Fletch of her disapproval of Joe even being an agent with his history but Fletch convinces Josie to at least talk to Joe before reporting him.
McGrath sneaks into the MBI and manages to catch Stormcrow by herself, propping the door so no one else can get in. Ashcoat and Trina rush hearing her scream as she was startled by him. McGrath warns Stormcrow that Jack Spinner from the NSA will soon be after her for her powers and that Spinner is working with the thing that’s been after her. The talisman he implanted in her has her etheral energy from five years into the future and that they want to experiment and destroy her. He quickly leaves and soon after the NSA come storming into the MBI, led by Jack Spinner. Trina tries to waylay him as Spinner wants to take Stormcrow, showing some papers claiming her to be some sort of terrorist.
Stormcrow barely manages to get away via teleporting where McGrath again finds her. He hands her a spherical object that will mask her powers as that is how they are tracking her. He also tells her to seek out Dr. Greenbox as Greenbox is currently harboring someone else like her. Stormcrow looks Greenbox’s address up at Megakat University and arrives at his apartment where she talks to him and Glitch about her situation. Stormcrow even shows them her powers, and Glitch shows Stormcrow her own, explaining who and what she is. Greenbox is confused but agrees to let her stay and that he and Glitch will help her out until it is safe for her to go back to the MBI.

::jumps a bit as Sy enters, but recovers:: Hey, Mr. Greypaw.

Hello. What happened here?
::is so there! standing near the edge of the dock, weight shifted mostly onto his right foot. wearing a dark green sweater with cargo pants and a ballcap as he looks out at the water::
We had a . . . bit of a tangle with some unfriendly saucer-robot-things. ::doesn’t say more for the moment, not sure how to tell about Rebelde:: They were taken care of, though.

((Go for it. We’ll see how it pans out.))
::glances at his watch, sighs, then adjusts the bill of his hat:: So where is he?
::Shakes his head, looking around:: I don’t know. He said he’d be here.
We’re going to need to replace the windows; I hope that won’t cost too much. ::continues sweeping:: Could you bring me the wastebasket? ::points to it::
::ears perked and alert. glancing around some:: Don’t think he’s set you up, do you? ::asks quietly::
Lets hope not. I don’t think he would have.
::wondering the same::
::goes to get it and brings it over to her::
::looks around, assessing the damage::
Thanks. ::sweeps some of the glass bits into the dustpan, and empties it into the bin:: Some of these shards are so small that I worry about them getting out if I carry them too far.
::enters the front door and looks around at all the mess around. To describe, he’s a kat, with the same fur coloring as the old Ash. He’s wearing a light-green shirt, blue jeans and dark blue sneakers::
((BRB, gonna run an errand. I’ll be back quick))

::smiles and nods:: Why yes actually. I’m a new trainee here and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to show me around? ::shows Sypher andStromcrow his bio and application form and looks around at the mess again:: and I do apologize, but did I come at a bad time?

((Thanks!))
We were just cleaning up.
::turns to see them come up:: There they are…::walks forward some and offers a hand to Derringer:: Didn’t think you were coming.
((WB!))
Uh . . . ::glances at Trina to answer that::
::sees the newcomer:: Can I see your application?
Why yes, here it is ::hands it to Trina::
::turns to see them coming. remains where she is as Joe goes, watching tensely. face remains expressionless though:: ::grins:: Joey, Joey, Joey. You said you had a couple kats for our crew, why wouldn’t I come? ::was he told Fletch ‘n Josie were agents too?::
(( ::scrutinies Ash’s bio:: Mmhmm.. hmm.. humm.. it says here you have extensive background in “pest control?” Well, I once eradicated a colony of beavers from the basement of a house. They nearly used my limbs for their summer home. You’re hired.))
((*dies*))
((*DEAD!*))
::sho! told ‘em he trusted ‘em or something and they’d been helping him out. XD smirks:: No clue. Hiding out I figured.
::takes application and reads::: Oh yes. The Captain told me about you. Unfortunately, he’s on assignment right now. What we CAN do is get you settled… ::then to Merle:: Can you do me a favor and show him around and get his uniform and whatnot?
Um, sure, though remind me where we keep the uniforms? ::hasn’t had cause to get one::
((::DEAD!::))

::goes to collect Merle’s cleaning supplies, will clean while she goes… and see about collecting more information on the recent events::
::just stand to either side and behind Derringer. bodyguards it seems for the twirp XD::
They’re in the locker room near the gym.
Ah, okay then. ::notes Sy taking over:: Thanks, Mr. Greypaw. ::turns to Ash:: Right this way then, Agent – ?
::tail swaying nonchalantly, still peering out at the water::
Yeah this is them. ::walks on over and motions to ‘em to introduce themselves just incase they arranged alias’ or something::
No problem.
::follows Joe and the thugs him. stop when they reach Josie as Fletch is further back::
Oh, I apologize for my lack of manners! My name’s Matthew Ashcoat. And you ladies are – ? ::to Trina and Merle::
Stormcrow Merle. ::small, nervous smile::
Josie Lyons. ::says finally taking a hand out of one of her pockets. offers it to Derringer who shakes it and smirks at her:: A she-kat eh? ::frowns slightly:: Yeah. ::looks to Fletch::
I’m Lt. Katrina Korat. Welcome aboard.
((er… Derringer said “A she-kat eh?” X_x))
::looks over his shoulder slightly, looking Derringer and his crew over as they come over. has a more serious than usual look on his face, if that’s even possible:: Fletch Ryder.
They been helping me at the HQ and all. I trust ‘em. They serious about this as I am.
Thank you. And…I know this sounds odd…but do you feel like we’ve met before?
::blinks:: Um… no.
Uh, not really. ::shrugs, hopes this isn’t someone from Cymric City:: Here, I’ll show you the locker rooms first.
::looks at Fletch and smirks at him:: So what’s their stories ey? Why are you wantin’ to help us, Fletch?
(( I don’t remember anything concerning throwing hot nachos on your head and grape soda down your shirt at the game last week when you dissed my team! Eh heh..))
((::DIES!::))
((::DIES!!::))
((:DEAD::))
((::DEAD!::))
((LOL))
I’m not here to help *you*, Derringer. I’m in this for the money. ::turns head back around::
((::DIIIES!::))
::sweeps the room carefully, looking for more glass… and anything more interesting::
Yes, please. ::follow Stromcrow:: Though I still get this faint feeling we’ve met somehow…
Hey, Greypaw?
::looks up at her::
You said in your resume that you’re some kind of expert with technology, right?
(( Stop stuffing evidence in your pockets like that. ::so busted:: Do it more discreetly. ::so confused:: ))
Well, where are you from, Agent Ashcoat? ::tries to think up a story if he *is* from Cymric City::
Yes.
((LOL))
((::DIES::))
((lol!!))
Then maybe you can help me figure something out?
((::DIIIES!::))
((LOL!))
I might be able to. ::goes over there::
::nods, shows him to the evidence room::
::chuckles at that;: Easy there, tom. I’ve heard about the cruddy pay they’re givin’ you all at the MBI. ::looks at Josie:: And you? Same as him? That… and I can’t stand the Enforcers for booting me out for an accident. ::grins a little, putting on a lil’ tough cookie act XD:: At least I said blowing up Lt. Steele’s car was an accident. Missing him was. ::laughs a little then looks to Joe:: Alright Joey, we’ll give you and these Megs a chance.
((did that cut?))
Me? I’m from Dellobo City. I know it’s really far away, but I liked it here enough to stay
((Yep, at “alrigh”))
::laughs a little then looks to Joe:: Alright Joey, we’ll give you and these Megs a chance.
Cool! I’ve heard of Dellobo, but I’ve never been there. When did you move to Megakat City?
::grins:: Thank you, though you already know I’ll work. I can guarantee they will too.
::follows her::
::keeps trying to think of an explanation if he could have seen her::
((BRB. Again -__-))
::shows him one of the four drones collected:: The logo says its’ from Puma Dyne, but… not even the logo is right. It looks… upgraded.
:is sorta circular, kinda like Zed in his “baby” stage::
::takes it and turns it over, eyes the logo… no, it’s definitely not the current one in his memory::
(( So are you from around here? No, I’m a . . . student worker, from . . . Dellobo. No kidding, *I’m* from Dellobo! What neighborhood? Uh . . . North Howlington. No way, *I’m* from North Howlington! Do you know Fenris McFluff? . . . Wait, there’s no Fenris McFluff in North Howlington! Why, you’re not from Dellobo City at all! . . . ))
They and you had better. Else you know what’ll happen. We’re in the big time, and the big bosses ain’t gotten any nicer.
((lol!))
((::DIIIES::))
((LOL!))
((::DEAD!::))
Yeah yeah….I know what’ll happen. I ain’t been outta the loop that long.
((Back! ::but DIES!! yes again XD::))
((WB))
((wb!))
(( So, what is it? It’s a Zedling. If it eats enough metal, it’ll grow into a full-grown Zed. ))
((::DEAD:))
((lol))
((DEAD!))
((::SOOODEAD!::))
What do you think? It looked awfully easy to take them down.
::takes out and lights a cigar. puffs on it some and exhales the smoke:: Good. Now, we’s got a bit of a job to test out your diaper dandies over there.
The logo is different… Would it be alright if I opened it up to examine its inner structure?
((lol! Sweet! I can add this to my pokedeck! ::tries to capture it with a small ball:: …))
((::DEAD!::))
Go for it. You’d make more sense outta it than me.
((::DEADDEAD!::))
((::dies!::))
((*dies* ::is a stale, hollowed donut hole::))
What’s the job? ::all serious now. Obvious he’s done all this before::
(( ::tries this with CyberKats too::))
I’ve been here for a few weeks actually, so I’m still not used to the surroundings, nor the weather for that matter ::is glad this place has air conditioning::
((::DEAD!::))
Thank you. I will see what I can learn from it.
::grimaces at that::
::keeping quiet like good thugs are supposed to -g-::
Ah. ::shrugs:: Well, I’ve been here for a few months, staying at a motel near the bus terminal. Maybe we crossed paths at some point.
Maybe you can show me what you find? I’d like to know what the heck this is beofre I start making phone calls.
(( And now, I’ll make my overly-commercialized electric little monster fight with your rock monster and ignore all “elemental wekanesses” rule, since my monster’s so “special”! Sypher, go! ::throws a little ball at the ground and Sypher pops out:: Air! Precious air! ::inhales deeply:: I was beginning to choke in there!))
::nods:: I will make a report.
((::SOOOOOODEAD!!!::))
((*dies*))
((::DEADDEADDEAD!::))
Get in with me and I’ll take you to it. ::turns now and he and the thugs go to the two cars:: Yer Megs can ride with us, Joey.
((lol!!))
::nods:: Thanks.
Maybe…and where are you from, if you don’t mind telling me?
((::SOOOODEAD!::))
