<JasonKorat> 4 RPG Start?

<McGrath> :: was with Callie in her office, awaiting the arrival of the SWAT Kats ::

<Joseph_Forge> ::goes to work! is Mark in or go talk to Jaserz?::

<StormcrowMerle> ::is presumably still at the safehouse with Glitch, unless we’ve moved::

<McGrath> ((<McGrath> I called you here because… <Razor> Because? <McGrath> Uh…. :: scratches head :: It seems like it was a week ago. Ever have one of those days? <Everyone> At least once a week ))

* JasonKorat is now known as T-BoneSK

<RazorSK> ::arrives at Callie’s office now we say?::

<T-BoneSK> ::shua!::

<RazorSK> ((LOL!!))

<T-BoneSK> <Callie> ::was still giving McG dry looks. XD::

<T-BoneSK> <Mark> ::I’m in my office! ARR!::

<RazorSK> ((<Mark>::staring at himself wondering why he’s a neon pink tiger now::))

<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))

<Joseph_Forge> ::arriveths at work then! goes to Mark’s office and knocks::

<Joseph_Forge> ((::SOOOOODEAD!::))

<RazorSK> ::bursts open the door! if they can XD and enters the room, G-A-T at the ready! blinks seeing McGrath there with Callie::

<T-BoneSK> ((::dies!:: <Mark> I’m a pink crayon! Baaaaaaa!!))

<StormcrowMerle> ((LOL))

<T-BoneSK> Miss Briggs, are you alright?! ::aiming as well:: <Callie> ::sighs::

<T-BoneSK> <Mark> Come in.

<McGrath> :: no doubt looks rather suspicious and threatening at the moment ::

<Joseph_Forge> ::opens the door, then shuts as he goes inside. salutes!:: sir!

<RazorSK> Alright you, put your paws up and step away from the Deputy Mayor.

<T-BoneSK> <Callie> He’s the guy who made me call you. :points to McG, goes to hide behind Razor XD:: ((<T-Bone> ;-; <Razor> Uuh… T-Bone’s taller. <T-Bone> Naw, I’m over it. You can be the shield for now. <Razor> ><!!))

<RazorSK> ::aiming g-a-t at McGrath::

<RazorSK> ((::dies!::))

<T-BoneSK> <T-Bone> :aims:: Who are you?!

<T-BoneSK> <Mark> Report.

<RazorSK> What? ::glances now behind him at Callie a moment::

<T-BoneSK> <Callie> He just burst in here and demanded that I call you two.

<RazorSK> ((<Joe> … um… did someone play a prank on you sir? <Mark>::sparkles with what appears to be glitter, but nay! it is just his magicalness. it makes his fur and eyes go random colored at any given moment. like a mood ring!::))

<Joseph_Forge> ::Reaches into bag he has with him and tosses a bag of ‘nip on his desk:: I got two cases of that stuff sittin’ in my basement. ::hands him pictures:: There. thats them

<Joseph_Forge> ((::SOOOOODEAD!::))

<McGrath> I’m the one who’s been leaving you gifts :: voice sounds mechanically distorted, his face hidden by the hood ::

<RazorSK> … yer also the one we had to go chasing after awhile back during the last incident with Dr. Viper.

<RazorSK> Not to mention are on the most wanted list.

<T-BoneSK> ((:::DEADDEADANNU!::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((LOL!))

<McGrath> You’ve been on that list too.

<T-BoneSK> ((<Sage> :colors Mark in rainbow colors:: <Mark> :;picture caption now reads, “You wanna name me ‘Susan’ next?!” ::PUNCH::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((LOL))

<T-BoneSK> <Mark> ::frowns:: This the latest?

<T-BoneSK> What?!

<Joseph_Forge> ((::DEAD!::))

<Joseph_Forge> yep. Thats what Derringer called me about. Wanted this stuff stored away. I’m gonna tell him that bag is for my payment so we got it for evidence.

<T-BoneSK> <Mark> Smart move. How sooner do you think we can lock this guy up?

<StormcrowMerle> <Van> ::driving up the streets of MKC, occasionally stalling. Appears to be looking for somewhere in particular::

<McGrath> I don’t know who you are, or where you originated from. I have suspicions, but nothing confirmed. No one does. That’s why I left those items for you.

<Joseph_Forge> We’ve got enough to convict him now and I’ve enough information to take out several places he suplies to. He’s in league with that Enzo though and if I hang in I might can get close to him. Its your call, sir.

<T-BoneSK> <T-Bone> Ms. Briggs, get outta here. We’ll cover you. <Callie> …. ::nods:: Be careful. ::runs out unless someone else wants to RP her cuz’ mun can only handle two charas tonight. XD::

<RazorSK> ::narrows eyes:: Why? Those are stolen items from MASA and Puma-Dyne.

<T-BoneSK> <Mark> Do what you think is necessary. If you can lock this guy up now, do so.

<StormcrowMerle> <Van> ::painted a pale bluish-green, with a few splashes of different colors and several murals that look like they were done by either a young kitten or someone with very little talent. A few beaded tassels hang from the rearview mirror, and a jester plush is suction-cupped to one of the rear windows::

<Joseph_Forge> ::nods:: Yes, sir. I’ll prepare to go in after him then. We’ll bring him in as soon as we can. Maybe someone will talk about this Enzo guy.

<McGrath> With your reputations to uphold I knew you wouldn’t return them. With you whereabouts unknown no one else would find you. With your expertise you would know how to do what needed to be done.

<RazorSK> ((<Mark>::its his fav friend from back at Katstock ’96! the van hasn’t changed a bit::))

<StormcrowMerle> <Van> ::eventually pulls up outside you-can-guess-where::

<StormcrowMerle> ((LOL!))

<T-BoneSK> ((::SOOODEAD!!!::))

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::my folks’ old house? XD::

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::where we are?::

<StormcrowMerle> ::nope, the MBI::

<T-BoneSK> <Mark> ::nods:: Good luck, Forge.

<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::maw I don’t get a cookie ;_;::

<StormcrowMerle> ::where all the weirdoes pass through sooner or later::

<Joseph_Forge> Thank you, sir. ::heads out. no! you don’t get a cookie! though you get me! you at your desk Josie?::

<T-BoneSK> Just what needs to be done, you crazy….!

<RazorSK> <Josie>::can be since mun finished the uberlate update XD::

<T-BoneSK> ((::gives Josiemun cookie and choco::))

<Joseph_Forge> ::lol! hee! goes to her desk then:: Hey, Lyons.

<RazorSK> ((::yeyee! issa happy camper XD::))

<RazorSK> <Josie>::glances up:: Forge. That stuff been moved yet?

<McGrath> Dark Kat has constructed an army capable of occupying this city. He has built it using technology you’ve yet to encounter. He is going to launch an attack within 24 hours. :: pauses :: This is not your largest priority at the moment.

<T-BoneSK> An attack in 24 hours isn’t a priority?!

* Kutlass has joined #mbi_sk

<T-BoneSK> :now is worried::

<T-BoneSK> ((Heys!))

* T-BoneSK sets mode: +o Kutlass

<Kutlass> ((Y’ello, everyone!))

<Joseph_Forge> Nope. I just turned in the bag of nip to him and the pictures. the crates are still in my basement. The director wants us to move in and arrest Derringer.

<Joseph_Forge> ((heys!))

<StormcrowMerle> <Driver> ::parks the van and climbs out. Or rather, unfolds himself from inside. Is a very tall, skinny tom-kat in his mid-thirties, dark gold fur marked with thick black squiggly marks, rounded ears and tailtip. Hair is brindled black and gold, and in a stringy mop: looks like he tried to grow dreadlocks, but found he didn’t have enough hair XD. Wearing jeans and an old sweatshirt. Checks the sign again to be sure, then heads up

<StormcrowMerle> the stairs to the front door::

<RazorSK> ((Hey Kutlass!))

* Kutlass is now known as FletchRyder

<StormcrowMerle> ((Lo!))

<RazorSK> ::worried as well:: Where is he? And how do you even know this?

<T-BoneSK> Tell us now!

<RazorSK> <Josie> What? Now? Isn’t this kinda soon?

<StormcrowMerle> ::opens the door, heads into the lobby and looks around. Appears a bit worried about something::

<StormcrowMerle> ((Er, <Driver>))

<Joseph_Forge> ::shrugs:: I told him that waiting we might could nail Enzo but we’ve got info to take down Derringer and several of his clientel. He wants us to move on it.

* StormcrowMerle is now known as Abexami_Kgosi

<RazorSK> <Josie> … so we’re letting Enzo go then I take it?

<Joseph_Forge> I guess so. ::shrugs:: To be honest..it’ll be a relief to get out myself. I’m tired of the stress

<FletchRyder> ::at the front desk, picking up a few items from Hertz, noting the kat entering the front doors out of the corner of his eye::

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::spieth the two:: Hey. This is the Megakat Bureau of Investigation?

<McGrath> Talk to Jason Korat. He has a device that will tell you where Dark Kat is and it will even grant you keycode access. As for how I what I know :: holds up arm, pulling back sleeve to reveal glovatrix :: I’ve seen it.

<FletchRyder> It is. ::turning to give the kat his full attention now::

<T-BoneSK> ::stares, looks to Razor:: You sure we don’t know this guy? He has a carbon copy of our Glovatrix!

<Abexami_Kgosi> Well, maybe you can help me. I’m looking for Elizabeth Selkirk; I think she works here?

<McGrath> It’s not a copy. It’s yours. I took it from your dead, life-less hand.

<RazorSK> ::shakes his head:: That’s a negative, T-Bone. ::steps towards McGrath a bit:: You working with Dark Kat or are a plant there?

<T-BoneSK> WHAT?!!!? ::okay, NOW he’s freaking out::

<RazorSK> <Josie> ::smiles a little:: I understand. If that’s the director’s orders, then we’ll need to inform Ryder and come up with a game plan.

<McGrath> Your weapons that I’ve used, if you check them you’ll note a level of wear and tear that could only have been brought on by age. I know you confiscated one of the Octapus missiles I used because the Enforcers never reported taking it from the hospital site.

<Joseph_Forge> ::nods :: Right. when he comes in here we’ll get our heads together and figure something out.

<FletchRyder> ::eyebrows raise a bit at that:: Yes.. she does. What is your business with her? ::almost suspicious, but entirely curious::

<T-BoneSK> ::attempts to grab McG by the collar:: Just what do you mean from my “dead, lifeless hand”?!

<RazorSK> <Josie> You have any suggestions on how best to approach this? You know him better than we do.

<Abexami_Kgosi> I’m a friend of hers. ::a bit surprised at the near-suspiciousness:: I haven’t heard from her in a while, so I thought I’d come and say hello.

<Joseph_Forge> Well he’s the main guy. I’d say we take him aside. Let me get him away from his gang, then we take him out nice and quiet. I’d also call the enforcers and let them help us round up the various warehouses as we don’t have enough agents to take them all out.

<McGrath> :: is grabbed by the collar, doesn’t resist :: If you don’t want to find out how first hand, then you’ll listen to what I have to say.

<RazorSK> Start talking then, if Dark Kat’s going to strike the city like you say, we’re wasting time.

<RazorSK> <Josie> Alone then? You taking him aside that is to meet with me and Ryder?

<T-BoneSK> And, make it quick!

<FletchRyder> Well, ::turning around for a minute, checking the time sheet on the front desk:: She hasn’t checked in today, or yesterday. ::frowns a bit at that, checking all the other previous days before turning back around:: I’m afraid you’ll have to give her a call or visit her at her place of residence.

<Joseph_Forge> ::nods:: right. Me alone can get him out. You and Ryder can be standing by to help me with the arrest.

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::distressed look:: But I already checked at the Motel 6.1; they said there hasn’t been a sign of her for several days. I thought you might know where she’d gone.

<McGrath> Dark Kat is only a side issue. He’s partnered himself with a new ally. His name is Rilth. He’s not from this world. He’s using his ties to Dark Kat to construct a cross-galactic terminal. Once it’s finished it will allow a fleet of invasion forces to instantly arrive at this planet’s doorstep.

<RazorSK> <Josie>::nods:: Alright. I suppose you’ll need to call him up later and find out where he even is.

<RazorSK> ::eyes widen at that:: You gotta be kidding…

<Joseph_Forge> Right. I’ll do it after we clear things with Ryder.

<T-BoneSK> :;blinks:: You mean like an alien invasion?!

<FletchRyder> ::pauses at that, a flicker of concern crossing his face:: No. I’m afraid I don’t. Would you know of any other way to contact her?

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::shakes head:: No. She doesn’t have her own phone, or I’d have called her. Usually, she’s called *me*.

<RazorSK> <Josie> ::sighs:: I was hoping we could get rid of Enzo too… ::looks at him:: This isn’t going to endanger your family with Derringer back in the slammer is it?

<FletchRyder> ::pondering what might be up with this:: Hertz, has Selk-, Ms. Merle called in sick the past few days. <Hertz> ::playing with a rubber band, managing to snap it right into his eye. clutches it and manages to mutter out a “no”:: <Fletch> ::turns back to Kgosi:: Would you like to file a missing person’s report?

<McGrath> The experimental anti-matter drive that I stole for you. You need to use it immediately. Go to these coordinates :: hands them a piece of paper :: You’ll need to use the terminal before they do, take it to the other side. Plant a detonation charge that destroys the other terminal, and come back here to destroy the one orbitting our planet.

<T-BoneSK> ::staring, thinks this guy’s clearly off his rocker::

<Joseph_Forge> My family can handle themselves somewhat. ::smirks:: It’ll help to get him behind bars really.

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::raises a tearmarked eyebrow:: “Ms. Merle”?

<RazorSK> And meanwhile Dark Kat is going to overrun the city. ::Frowns::

<Abexami_Kgosi> Um . . . ::looking very worried:: I guess so, but I’m not her guardian. Can I do that anyway?

<McGrath> That won’t happen.

<RazorSK> ::takes the paper he gives ‘im, unless T-Bone does:: What makes you so sure?

<FletchRyder> She felt it necessary to assume a new name for personal reasons. Reasons for which none of us here have been clued in on.

<Abexami_Kgosi> Oh . . . ::has an expression that shows he has a good idea what those reasons are::

<McGrath> The MBI will delay them.

<T-BoneSK> ::is slowly letting go, but not entirely:: The MBI?

<FletchRyder> Where are her guardians then?

<McGrath> Dark Kat’s army is fully automated, controlled from a central location. I know the location. An infiltration, a small one, will be enough.

<RazorSK> <Josie> If you say so. ::nods::

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::figures that since she’s been telling her own stories, he’d never be able to match them, so might as well tell the truth:: Her mother and stepfather are in Cymric City. I’m their neighbor.

<T-BoneSK> How do we know this isn’t a trap of some sort?

<Joseph_Forge> Lets just say thats what I’m telling myself right now. ::small smile. leans against her desk::

<FletchRyder> Oh? Are they aware that she’s run away to Megakat City?

<RazorSK> <Josie> Did you just get into work?

<McGrath> You don’t. For all you know, this has been a long-running plan, dating back to the incident with Dr. Viper where I saved your life all the way to breaking city official’s windows :: gestures to the broken window ::

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::shakes head:: No, sir.

<FletchRyder> May I ask why?

<RazorSK> ::checks the co-ordinates. is it one of the one’s he got from that remote?::

<Joseph_Forge> yeah I did. I went straight to the director’s office with that ‘nip.

<FletchRyder> <Hertz> ::whimpering in the background, rummaging through his desk for some eyedrops::

<T-BoneSK> ::eyes narrow:: Whadda ya think, Razor?

<Abexami_Kgosi> Well, it’s rather a long story. Suffice to say, she and her stepfather don’t get along, and she feared that he’d force her to come back if he knew.

<McGrath> <Coordinates> :: coordinates are almost the same, with the vertical position different. Shows the location directly above the desert facility, in orbit ::

<RazorSK> <Josie>::stands:: Well I’m about to take a break… care to get some coffee and a couple of donuts? We might need them as I have a feeling this may be a long day. ::smiles::

<FletchRyder> ::sighs some:: Is he actively searching for her then? Is that possibly why she’s missing again?

<RazorSK> I think we better get to work on the Turbokat quickly and get to these co-ordinates. ::looks at McGrath:: Are you going to warn the MBI?

<Joseph_Forge> ::smiles back:: sure. I think it will be too.

<Abexami_Kgosi> No he isn’t. ::grits teeth:: Actually, he seems to be glad she’s gone. ::then looks worried again:: But if she’s disappeared, I think that’s the least of our worries. Is there anyone else here who might know where she’s gone? No offense, sir. ::forces a smile::

<McGrath> They’ve been partially informed.

<RazorSK> <Josie>::goes out of the office then and to the breakroom with Joe::

<T-BoneSK> Who knows?

<RazorSK> Then we’ll COMPLETELY inform them. I guess we can’t count on you for any further help in this matter?

<FletchRyder> I’m not entirely sure. ::suddenly recalls hearing reports a while ago of Spinner coming to the MBI a second time:: You might try talking to Lt- Agent Korat. She might’ve been one of the last kats to see Elizabeth.

<Abexami_Kgosi> Oh, excellent! Where can I find her?

<Joseph_Forge> ::goes with her, going in and grabbing up a donut and some coffee, then sits down at the table::

<McGrath> If you find yourselves too late, and see the fleet of ships have already departed, continue with the demolition. If you catch them between terminals, they’ll be lost in space.

<FletchRyder> We can try the deskroom and see if she’s around. Follow me, please. ::turns and heads for hall::

<RazorSK> <Josie>::pours herself some coffee and gets a couple glazed donuts. sits with Joe:: Not sure when Ryder’s coming in, if he is coming in today.

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::does so! Tries to go slowly and not outpace Fletch in his hurry::

<RazorSK> ::nods at that:: C’mon, T-Bone. ::hurries to the door::

<Abexami_Kgosi> ((<Bexa> Wait a minute, I was just thinking. I really don’t want to see the Trina this much. I’d sooner way for you outside. ::tries to run back, but is halted:: Eep! <Fletch> What was that? <Bexa> ::whiny scared:: Somebody pulled my tail. <Fletch> You did it yourself! <Bexa> I . . .))

<T-BoneSK> ((:DEAD!!:))

<FletchRyder> ::walks rigidly into doorway, scanning the occupents there before eyes lock onto Trina:: Agent Korat, there’s a tom here who needs to speak with you in regards to “Ms. Merle.” Apparently she’s not been seen or heard from for some time.

<RazorSK> ::makes it to the Turbokat and waits for T-Bone to zoom us away!::

<FletchRyder> ((lol!))

<T-BoneSK> ::hops in, zooms us both away!::

<RazorSK> <Josie> ::nodded hello to teh Trina too XD mouth fulla donut so didn’t say hi. looks at Fletch as he enters::

<RazorSK> ::when we reach the hangar, we shalla install that fancy pantz engine XD::

<Joseph_Forge> ::looks over at Fletch, perking ears::

<T-BoneSK> Razor, is this guy for real?

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::issa there watching cartoons! XD::

<Abexami_Kgosi> :;which residence is this?::

<McGrath> :: knocks on the door ::

<RazorSK> <Greenbox’s house>::seems like someone is home! is with Glitch and LS. sitting with a laptop figuring things out… though not getting far. mun assumes that the ashes couldn’t tell them diddly about what that orb thing was once made of?::

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::er..true..which residence? his normal one or the hideout one they are at now?::

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::frowns. motions for Stormcrow and Glitch to hide in another room. stands up::

<McGrath> :: hideout as it’s more convenient ::

<Abexami_Kgosi> <LS> ::quickly goes to hideth!::

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::True XD nods and quickly goes with the stormcrow! ready to zappy them out if they have to::

<RazorSK> Dunno… but where else would he have gotten a worn out Glovatrix?

<RazorSK> ::has Jase ‘n co informed the SKs about McGrath’s time travel story?::

<FletchRyder> ::steps aside, motioning with his head for Kgosi to enter::

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::enters!::

<T-BoneSK> ::I don’t think he did::

<T-BoneSK> He said I died!

<Abexami_Kgosi> Agent Korat?

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::when they’re in the other room, peeks out the peephole. frowns, opens the door a crack, chain still on it:: Who is it? What do you want?

<McGrath> ((<Jase> Yes, excellent :: adding to his rolodex of secret identities that only he knows ::))

<T-BoneSK> <Trina> yes?

<T-BoneSK> ((DEAD!))

<RazorSK> <Josie>::munches donut listening::

<McGrath> I’m here for Selkirk.

<RazorSK> ((LOL!!))

<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIES!::))

<RazorSK> Well he’s obviously mistaken. ::smirks, doing a quick blueprint of how this engine will best fit into the schematics of the T-Kat as they talk. double and triple checking calculations::

<Joseph_Forge> <Joe>::listening too. sips his coffee::

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::not the best way to put that. frowns:: She’s not here, I don’t know where she is, so leave me alone. ::goes to shut the door inna hurry lol::

<McGrath> ((<Razor> We’ll have to take out the slurpy machine… <T-Bone> No! ))

<T-BoneSK> Huh?! he didn’t say anything about you! ::pointing finger:: What’s that supposed to mean? You slip you way outta death’s hands or somethin’?! :;now is just being silly and isn’t all too serious, but he IS worried::

<T-BoneSK> ((DEAD!))

<RazorSK> ((::busts up!::))

<Abexami_Kgosi> My name is Bexa Kgosi; I’m a friend of Elizabeth Selkirk. I was told you might know where she is?

<Joseph_Forge> ((::DEAD!::))

<FletchRyder> ((lol!))

<T-BoneSK> <Trina> I do and I don’t. Her last location is unknown to me.

<McGrath> :: holds the door :: She’s expecting me.

<RazorSK> ::chuckles and pats T-Bone on the shoulder as he pulls out the right tools:: Who knows. Maybe all those hours in front of the TV watching cartoons made you a bit outta shape.

<RazorSK> <Greenbox> And you are?

<Abexami_Kgosi> Uh, well, could you tell me the location before that? I’m really worried about her.

<T-BoneSK> ::mock glare:: And, what did you do? Do the limbo under death’s scyth?

<McGrath> The one who pointed her to you.

<T-BoneSK> <Trina> I can give you an address, but it’s all I can offer. ::as she goes to write it onna piece of paper::

<RazorSK> Well you do poke fun at my height. Guess it came in handy. ::snickers::

<Abexami_Kgosi> Thank you. ::watches as she writes::

<FletchRyder> ::follows her movement with his eyes. then breaks them away and glances at Josie and then Joe, wondering if they knew anything about what’s going on::

<Abexami_Kgosi> Do you know why she left without leaving contacts?

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::blinks:: McGrath?

<RazorSK> <Josie>::returns his look with a shrug, as mun doesn’t think Josie knows::

<McGrath> Yes.

<T-BoneSK> <trina> I haven’t the slightest.

<Joseph_Forge> ::has a look on his face that says he has no clue either::

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::sighs:: All right.

<T-BoneSK> <Trina> I wish I could tell you, tho’. ::gives him the addy::

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::takes the paper and looks at the addy::

<FletchRyder> ::curious about that address, but holds his ground::

<T-BoneSK> <T-Bone> ::head locks and noogies:: And, I still will!

<T-BoneSK> <Trina> ::did give Greenbox’s old addy::

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::undoes the chain then backs up, motioning him in quickly::

<RazorSK> <Greenbox> Elizabeth! ::quietly calls for her to come on in there::

<McGrath> :: enters ::

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::quickly shuts the door::

<Abexami_Kgosi> Thank you, Agent Korat. I can give you my number, and if you get any information, please call me?

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::hears Greenbox, looks to Glitch and opens the door to go out::

<Abexami_Kgosi> ((^LS))

<RazorSK> Awk! Hey! ::grabbed and noogied!:: Leggo! ::laughs a bit and tries to pull out of it::

<T-BoneSK> <trina> Of course.

<T-BoneSK> Not until you say it!

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::tries to grab her arm:: Where are you going? Dad has not said it is safe.

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::writes down his cellphone number:: Thank you again, Agent. I’ll also let you know if I find her first.

<Abexami_Kgosi> But you heard him; he called my name.

<Abexami_Kgosi> ((LS again XP))

<T-BoneSK> <Trina> Please do. I’m also worried about her. ::takes it::

<RazorSK> IT!

<McGrath> ((<Narrator> And here we see our heroes display their comeradery. This allows the audience to develop a bond for them, so that when they die, we actually care <T-Bone>… did that come from the radio? <Razor> Yeah, it did. Huh, what a coincidence…))

<RazorSK> ((::DIIES::))

<Abexami_Kgosi> ((*dies*))

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::Frowns:: Very well…but I am going with you, just in case. ::lets her go to go out,sticking close to her::

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::goes back out into the hall::

<Joseph_Forge> ((::DEEEEAD!::))

<Abexami_Kgosi> <Stormcrow> ::nods to that, and goes out to where Greenbox is::

<FletchRyder> ((LOL))

<RazorSK> <Greenbox> ::waits for LS and Glitch too::

<T-BoneSK> That’s not it!

<T-BoneSK> ((:DEAD!!::))

<FletchRyder> I can show you out. ::exits with Kgosi::

<RazorSK> You said “not until I say it” so I said the word it, now leggo!

<T-BoneSK> <Trina> ::sighs, pockets the celphone number::

<T-BoneSK> What do we say first?

<Joseph_Forge> What was that about? ::looking Trina after they are gone::

<RazorSK> <Josie>::looks curiously at Trina::

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::walks out with her, looking curiously at McGrath::

<RazorSK> Uncle?

<Abexami_Kgosi> <Stormcrow> ::gasps as she sees McG:: McGrath!

<Abexami_Kgosi> Thanks. ::goes with Fletch::

<T-BoneSK> I suppose. ::lets him go::

<T-BoneSK> <Trina> Someone’s looking for Merle. Thing of it is… she’s inna disclosed location right now.

<McGrath> It’s time to leave.

<FletchRyder> ::so, leads him out, unable to come up with any words of encouragement as he sends him off::

<RazorSK> C’mon bud, we gotta get started on this. ::starts explaining the first step to this::

<RazorSK> <Greenbox>::raises brow::

<T-BoneSK> ::nods and listens, jez::

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::looks at Stormcrow:: Is this individual safe to leave with?

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::nods thanks again as he gets back into his van and drives to the Greenbox address::

<Abexami_Kgosi> Leave? But where am I supposed to go *now*?

<McGrath> You should go with. She might need you.

<Abexami_Kgosi> ::then to Glitch:: I don’t know.

<Abexami_Kgosi> ((Gah, LS both there!))

* Abexami_Kgosi is now known as StormcrowSelkirk

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::blinks:: I should? ::curious look:: Why must she leave?

<Joseph_Forge> ((lol! ::pats LS::))

<RazorSK> ((XD))

<FletchRyder> ::can only nod, turning back down the hallway and returning to the breakroom::

<RazorSK> <Josie> One you don’t even know of?

<McGrath> Because if she doesn’t, this city might not last to the end of the day.

<RazorSK> ::wheee! mun ain’t a wizzo like Razor XD but he ‘n T-Bone do begin work on installing that engine ‘n all::

<T-BoneSK> ::shakes her head, mun can’t remember if Glitch told her, ah heh. Returns to her coffee in some thought::

<RazorSK> <Greenbox> What?

<T-BoneSK> ::install, whee!::

* T-BoneSK is now known as Trinakins

<StormcrowSelkirk> *WHAT*?

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::nope! only told her she was safe::

<Trinakins> ::kies! XD::

* RazorSK is now known as Josie_Lyons

<Josie_Lyons> ::notes Ryder coming back in the breakroom?::

<FletchRyder> ::re-enters and goes straight for the coffee:: <Going to need this today.>

<Trinakins> Everything okay, Ryder?

<McGrath> Rilth has constructed an army for Dark Kat. It will be positioning itself tonight. It will be used to take Megakat city.

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::blinks:: Then the authorities should be made aware of this immediately!

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::Frowns:: Rilth? I do not like him. I do hope Protocol spreads the virus to him.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::scared!:; And what am I supposed to do?!

<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol>::was that part of my instructions? LOL::

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::Nope! but i hoping something happened to spread it::

<FletchRyder> Where’s Selkirk? Is she in trouble? ::assuming that Trina would know her real name, pouring himself a cup::

<Josie_Lyons> … Selkirk?

<Trinakins> I don’t know. ::leans against the counter:: I wasn’t given a second location.

<McGrath> That is in progress :: to Greenbox, then hearing Glitch :: What about Protocol?

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch> She is infected with a virus now. She has reverted to her former cyberdemon self.

<Joseph_Forge> Where was her first location?

<FletchRyder> ::picks up mug, taking a sip:: How’d you know her first whereabouts?

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::proud of her lol Lil’ Tessie is growing up. ;D::

<Josie_Lyons> Wasn’t she at some hotel?

<Trinakins> …. ::looks to Joe and Josie, isn’t really sure if she should tell them too. Ryder would know as he’s read the file she gave him the other day::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::looks at Glitch in some surprise at that::

<McGrath> :: doesn’t respond to that, goes back to the issue at hand :: We need to get to the MBI.

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox> I can take us in my car… ::offers. worried about alla this::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::listens with wide eyes:: And what are we supposed to do when we get to the MBI, McGrath?

<Josie_Lyons> Er should we go ma’am?

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch> ::hee! I a good girl! XD:: Yes, the car would be quick as I am not sure I can carry all of you.

<McGrath> :: replies :: We are going to talk.

<FletchRyder> ::notes her glance but continues peering at her, expecting an answer::

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::motions to Glitch to hush XD don’t tell this guy about yourself! lol not sure if McGrath should know or not::

<Trinakins> Excuse us. ::motions to Fletch, then to Joe and Josie adds, “Sorry”. and heads outta the breakroom::

<StormcrowSelkirk> About *what*?! ::getting worked up:: You want me to fight Rilth, don’t you?

<Josie_Lyons> Of course… though Ryder, Forge and I need to talk with you about the case soon.

<McGrath> :: doesn’t reply to that ::

<Joseph_Forge> ::blinks, watching them go::

<FletchRyder> ::follows closely behind, coffee still in hand:: Right. ::says before leaving::

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::Frowns:: She is not capable of fighting Rilth. He is a very powerful being.

<Josie_Lyons> ::looks at Joe, frowning:: I wish they’d do something about her. It’s one thing to help her out for a little bit but… what if her parents show up?

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox> She’s just a kitten.

<FletchRyder> ((<Glitch> I hear he has all the Egyption God cards! <All in Room> Uh…?))

<Trinakins> ::goes to her desk, sifting through several files until she finds the printed out log of the chat between her and Glitch:: No one else knows about this, not even the director. I need to make sure it’s all credible. ::gives it to him:;

<Josie_Lyons> ((::busts up!::))

<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIES!::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<Trinakins> ((::DEAD!!::)

<Joseph_Forge> I know. Now apparently she’s turned into an all out case.

<Trinakins> ((Glitch> And, he’ll activate my trap card, which will be a costly mistake!))

<McGrath> Rilth is a hybrid, constructed from the best of future alien and domestic technology. His weaknesses are minor inconveniences, and destroying him is impossible with any weapon on this planet, except for this :: holds up other arm, pulling back the sleeve to reveal the alien-technology he’s been seen weaing ::

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL!!))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::stares:: What is that?

<FletchRyder> ::sets down coffee, taking folder and looking through the log quickly, expression hardening a bit as he reads::

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::adjusts his glasses and peers at the device curiously::

<FletchRyder> ((lol))

<Josie_Lyons> ::nods:: Right.

<Trinakins> That’s the entire conversation before they were found, then she said they were moving to an undisclosed location and I left it at that…

<McGrath> It’s an alien device that allows for the manipulation of time. It has several functions, one of which is this :: twists forearm slightly, causing the device to extend into a sharpened edge that goes well over a foot past his hand ::

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::jumps at that some:: Fascinating…

<FletchRyder> I’d strongly advise we do some digging on this and find her, but.. I’m not sure she’d be any safer with us. ::hands folder back::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::gasps:: And what are you going to do with it?

<McGrath> :: impales an ugly looking old chair :: <Chair> :: fizzles out of reality ::

<Trinakins> I don’t know what to do at this point, Ryder. My gut tells me to keep things quiet.

<Joseph_Forge> <Glitch>::blinks, cringes some at the chair, stepping back some:: Oh dear…I do not like that.

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::eyes widen at that:: Are you then intending to fight this… Rilth with that?

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::cries out in shock::

<StormcrowSelkirk> *That’s* what that thing was?

* Joseph_Forge is now known as Glitch

<FletchRyder> If we keep things quiet much longer, Elizabeth’s going to end up dead, and we’re not going to be any closer to finding out what in paw’s name is going on with all this. ::sounding a bit aggravated. shakes his head some, mumbling an apology for talking out of line, and then picks up his coffee for a swig::

<McGrath> This device wipes the targets temporal signature, effectively erasing it from existence. :: deactivates it, causing it to retract :: I can’t get close enough to Rilth to use it.

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::looks at Stormcrow a moment then to McGrath:: And you think SHE can? ::shakes his head::

<Glitch> Then allow me to try to get close to him. Stormcrow would not have to go near him.

<McGrath> Rilth can override all first generation cyberdemons with ease, and detect them as well :: looking at Glitch :: Something the alien technology allows him, and others, to do.

<Trinakins> ::hand to her head, thinking::I wish I knew, Ryder. ::murmuring:: There’s so much going on that I don’t know where to begin….

<Glitch> I am very familiar with this ability of Rilth’s. It is a most unfortunate thing to encounter.

<McGrath> Rilth’s abilities are highly advanced, but there is one flaw that he hasn’t been able to correct. :: looks at LS ::

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox> ::raises brow, looks to LS as McGrath does::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::gulps:: It’s that thing with my fire powers, right?

<Glitch> ::looks over at LS now curiously::

<McGrath> Your fire powers are the result of a larger source of energy that you possess. It’s this energy that Rilth has no defense, an arror in the alien technology he was designed with.

<FletchRyder> I trust your instincts, Korat. However you think this should be handled, I’ll back you on it.

<Trinakins> ::eyes him for a few, then nods with a tight smile, whispering a “thanks”::

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox> You can’t seriously want to send her into one of Dark Kat’s lairs alone, McGrath. She’s so young.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::small, meek nod::

<McGrath> Not alone, and not without help. That is why we need to get to the MBI.

<Glitch> Who at the MBI can get her in if we cannot?

<McGrath> The army is automated, controlled from a central location. While Rilth is busy being dispatched, other goals can be achieved.

<McGrath> I can get everyone in, once we are organized.

<FletchRyder> ::offers a slight nod in response, then turns to head out:: I’ll be in the breakroom. Please let me know if you receive any more contact from your source.

<Glitch> ::looks at LS to see what she wants to do::

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox> Then lets go. ::heads to the door::

<StormcrowSelkirk> If Rilth is destroyed, will the whole thing be over?

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::stops waiting for them to see what they do::

<Trinakins> Noted. ::goes turn on her computer. And, here hte mun must leave for she must have class inna morning::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Goodnight, O Sage!))

<Josie_Lyons> ((Stops to wait on them^ that is))

<Glitch> ((maww nights Sagey! ::huggles::))

<Josie_Lyons> ((Night Sagey!))

<FletchRyder> ((Have a good one, Sage!))

<Trinakins> ((Night all!))

* Trinakins has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)

<McGrath> ((brb))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Okay))

<Josie_Lyons> ((okay!))

<Glitch> <Joe>::is in thought in the breakroom, sipping his coffee!::

<Josie_Lyons> ::you are such a lamppost::

<Glitch> <Joe>::why thank you! ^_^::

<FletchRyder> ::walking a bit stiffly, paw clutching his mug pretty tightly as he enters breakroom once more to discuss the other case::

<Josie_Lyons> Things settled back there, Ryder?

<Glitch> <Joe>::looks up as Ryder comes in::

<McGrath> ((back))

<Glitch> ((WB))

<Josie_Lyons> ((WB!))

<FletchRyder> ::only nods, setting his mug down on the table and taking a seat with them:: You needed to talk to me about the katnip case?

<FletchRyder> ((WB))

<McGrath> :: waits for them to deicde ::

<Josie_Lyons> ::nods as well:: Yes. Forge got orders from the director to take down Derringer.

<Glitch> <Joe>Um yeah..Sulfer wants us to move in and take out Derringer.

<Glitch> <Joe>::lol! cancel my line::

<Josie_Lyons> ::sorries XD::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::repost of last line in case McGmun missed it:: If Rilth is destroyed, will the whole thing be over?

<Glitch> <Joe>::nods:: Him and anyone else we can get I guess.

<FletchRyder> Okay. When and how?

<Glitch> ::tis okies!::

<McGrath> Yes.

<Glitch> <Joe> ASAP and if okay with you I will try to lure out Derringer to another location where you and Lyons will be waiting to arrest him.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::long pause, gulps and wraps her arms about herself:: . . . I’ll do it.

<FletchRyder> What location and how do you plan on luring him? ::takes a sip of his coffee::

<Josie_Lyons> ::gets herself another cup::

<Glitch> <Joe> I was thinking my house. Maybe asking him to come over to talk business over dinner or something.

<McGrath> Then we have to leave now.

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::opens the door and goes out ‘n over to his car::

<StormcrowSelkirk> All right. ::goes out with::

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::gets in driver’s seat, waits for the others to get in::

<FletchRyder> Hmm, yeah. Good. We might even be able to line his food with some sort of sedative to at least make him less rowdy when we go for the arrest.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::before she gets in, small voice:: McGrath?

<Glitch> ::follows, gets in the car and buckles up. lol! not sure why but just does it::

<Glitch> <Joe>::smirks:: Maybe. Or get him drunk. Make him pass out.

<Josie_Lyons> ::raises brow a that:: Is that really necessary? This guy’s in no kind of shape to take us all three on.

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::cause I taught you to lol buckles up as well, starts up engine::

<Glitch> <Joe> You’d be surprised what a tom like him is capable of. I guarantee he’ll have at least one gun on him if not more.

<McGrath> Yes? :: gets in ::

<Josie_Lyons> ::sighs:: Fine. Who’s cooking?

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::as she gets in too:: That last time in the MBI, you said you’d gotten something from my future self. <At least I think you did.> . . . What would I have been like in the future?

<Glitch> <JOe> I can get sis to cook something up if you guys don’t want to. He always did like her cooking when I had some with me to eat on while on jobs and all.

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::pulls out of driveway when all are in. making way to MBI::

<Josie_Lyons> ::smirks:: Not that I don’t want to but… I don’t think YOU would want me to.

<McGrath> That’s not important.

<StormcrowSelkirk> I guess not . . . ::can’t think of a way to press for it::

<FletchRyder> Maybe it is best you go with what Derringer’s most comfortable with.

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox> If you change things now in the past, you may not be the same as McGrath has seen you in the future. Effect of changing the time stream and all.

<Josie_Lyons> If she will do it.

<McGrath> :: doesn’t say anything ::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods:: Hence the “what would I have been like”. :;shrugs:: I was just curious.

<Glitch> <Joe>::laughs:: your cooking bad too huh? Mine stinks. ::Then nods to Fletch:: Right. He won’t think much of me asking him over to eat some of Tasha’s cooking I don’t think. ::Then to Josie:: i’m pretty sure she will if it means him going to jail.

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::after proper amount of time, pulls up at the MBI:: I hope those NSA agents aren’t out here keeping watch…

<McGrath> They’re preoccupied at the moment :: exits car ::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::gets out as well:: <Bexa> ::is out searching, dang, just missed her!::

<Glitch> ::Gets out as well, looking around just in case. heads inside with them::

<Josie_Lyons> Then it’s settled. ::nods:: <Greenbox>::exits car and heads after the others:: Preoccupied with what?

<FletchRyder> <Hertz> ::has a band-aid over his rubber-banded eye, which is keeping his eyelid stuck close. notes with his one eye several kats coming in::

<FletchRyder> What time will you expect him?

<Glitch> <Joe> late. He only operates at night for the most part. Prolly around nine or ten tonight. maybe later. Depends on his schedule. I’d suggest you guys come over around eight to get set up.

<McGrath> Someone lost something they shouldn’t have.

<Glitch> ::looks to McGrath:: What does that mean?

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::confused look. notes Hertz there. will let them do the talking::

<StormcrowSelkirk> Hello, Agent Hertz.

<FletchRyder> Right. We’ll need to eliminate any possible escape route he could contrive and check your neighborhood for any planted thugs.

<McGrath> :: walks in with ::

<Josie_Lyons> ::nods:: Okay. Should we wait in the basement then or what?

<FletchRyder> <Hertz> Ms. Merle? Is that yoohoou? ::turning his head to see out of his open eye:: Weeeird, we were just talking about you!

<StormcrowSelkirk> Well, you can finish talking about me later. ::looks to McGrath::

<Glitch> <Joe> I’d wait upstairs if I were you. I’ll get him to eat at the table so that’ll put his back to you hopefully. I’ll just set the table that way. Plus if things get ugly the basement doesn’t offer you a place to go whereas coming from the living room you can get outside and away if you have to.

<Glitch> ::stands by her dad, looking around to see if Agent Korat is around but not seeing her.

<McGrath> :: due to his attire, don’t know if he makes eye-contact or not ::

<Josie_Lyons> Hmm… alright. He may want to see his precious drugs too.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::when no one speaks:: Uh, I guess we need to talk to the Director or Captain Korat or whoever.

<Glitch> <Joe> right. so you guys can hide up in mine or Tasha’s bedroom if you like. that way you aren’t seen when he comes in.

<FletchRyder> <Hertz> Um.. okay. 6ish good for talking about you? I kind of had plans to immunize myself from pet dander at the doctor’s office then, but- ::interrupted by LS:: Oh, um, I think last I heard she was in the breakroom, maybe?

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL! Hertz XD))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<McGrath> ((and….I need to get going unfortunately))

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::assumes she knows where that is::
