<Glitch> ::we’s was going to see one of the leaders, right?::

<McGrath> ((brb))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Okay! And, yes we was))

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::yes! Hertz told them to go check breakroom, LS lead us there?::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::I doth!::

<Glitch> ::following them!::

<Josie_Lyons> <Greenbox>::following as well! enters breakroom?::

<Glitch> ::yes! let us enter the breakroom!

<Glitch> ::

<DriverSK> ::is hiding in the “hidden”folders of Dark Kat’s computer, eyeing the outside and wondering how to go about this::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::goes in, looks. Who is there?::

<SypherSK> ::is at the MBI, gathering information… if any comes along, relaying anything useful he learns and generally cleaning while waiting for any new orders::

<Glitch> ::could she detect Sypher there?::

<SypherSK> ::probably::

<Glitch> ::heee! does then! perks ears, frowning some:: <hello? who is here?>

<Josie_Lyons> ::still talking with Joe mun assumes. turns to see the others entering::

<SypherSK> ::pauses briefly as he’s washing the mugs in the breakroom kitchen:: <This is Sypher. Who is this?>

<Glitch> <Joe>::has moved on as mun can’t concentrate well at the moment. XD went to go call Derringer and set up the meeting::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::looks to them, then:: Agent Lyons? Do you know where Director Sulfur or Captain Korat are?

<Glitch> <This is Glitch. What are you doing here?>

<SypherSK> <I am completing my assignment.>

<Glitch> <What is your assignment?>

<SypherSK> <To gather information from the MBI and relay it to Dark Kat.>

<Josie_Lyons> ::ah lol mun thinks that is a good idear XD as will have a fewinvolved herself::

* Josie_Lyons is now known as DrGreenbox

<Glitch> <::internal frown:: Why would you do this for him? He does not care about you.>

<SypherSK> ::blink:: <That is what I am programmed to do.>

<Glitch> <I see….>

<McGrath> :: waits in the lobby ::

<DriverSK> ::senses the conversation within his program, frowns, decides to do a minor prod:: <Hello?>

<Glitch> <Hello? who is this?>

<SypherSK> <Hello?> ::wonders why he’s suddenly picking up all these other CyberKats::

<Glitch> ((<Sypher>::sobs as his lonely buble is broken finally::))

<DrGreenbox> ((McGrath, we moved into the breakroom lol))

<DriverSK> <You can hear me. Where’s Protocol?>

<DriverSK> ((:dies!::))

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<DrGreenbox> ((or should we find Jase and then meet McGrath again?))

<SypherSK> <I believe she is on another assignment at the moment.>

<DrGreenbox> ((::laughs!::))

<Glitch> <She has assigned to another location. ::won’t say what or where though. lol!>

<DriverSK> <Where?!>

<Glitch> <somewhere…>

* Ash_D_Wolf has joined #mbi_sk

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Lo!))

<DriverSK> ((heys, Ash!))

* StormcrowSelkirk sets mode: +o Ash_D_Wolf

<DriverSK> <Please, could you tell me?>

<SypherSK> ((Hey, Ash!))

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((Hey guys!))

<Glitch> ((hey ash!)0

<Glitch> <She has gone to work with Rilth.>

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((How’s everyone?))

<DriverSK> <Rilth…?>

<DriverSK> ((Pretty good here!))

<DrGreenbox> ((Hey Ash!))

<Glitch> ((good here))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Good here.))

<Glitch> <Yes Rilth. He works for Dark Kat.>

<Glitch> ::are we gonna find a superior and talk to them or wha?::

<DriverSK> <DARK KAT?!>

<DriverSK> <THAT TUB OF LARD IS ALIVE?!>

<McGrath> :: waits in the lobby, growing suspicious of the apparent lack of agents about. Sits at a waiting bench, not looking at the nervous desk jockey at the other side of the room ::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::did ask Josie where to find said superiors::

<McGrath> :: let’s others do the venturing. Keeps attention on the door XD ::

<Glitch> <why yes. Of course he is. He has always been alive since our creation.>

<DrGreenbox> <Josie>::whoops! mun didn’t see that line. went to find Jase if he’s available? or Mark?::

<DriverSK> <Tell me where to find this Rilth>

<DriverSK> <Jason> ::is back in his office, yes::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::sounds good::

<Glitch> <::sends him corridinates to Rilth’s location:: He is not like us. He is more advanced. >

<DrGreenbox> <Josie>::knocks on his door::

<DriverSK> <I don’t care about that. And, thank you.>

<DriverSK> <Jason> Come in.

<Glitch> <You are most welcome.>

<DrGreenbox> <Josie>::enters:: Captain. ::salutes!:: Seems that … “Merle” has returned with two er… guests. They need to speak with you.

<DriverSK> ::cuts off the connection, heads for the coordinates, attempting to contact Protocol on the way::

<DriverSK> <Jason> :;blinks:: Merle is alright?

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol>::is in outerspace in one of those satellites mun thinks lol so good luck with that call ;D::

<DrGreenbox> <Josie> Seems she is.

<Glitch> ((<Driver>::bawls at his long distance bill later::))

<DrGreenbox> ((LOL!))

<DriverSK> ((::dies!::))

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((LOL))

<DriverSK> <Driver> ::doesn’t seem to contact her, so leaves her a ‘message’ of some sort::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((lol))

<DriverSK> <Jason> ::stands up, leaving his files on the table:: Show me.

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol>::maw not gonna find and visit me? XD::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::waiting in the breakroom::

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol>::outerspace is um… beautiful this time of evening? XD::

<DriverSK> <Driver> ::trying. XD If he doesn’t get anything in return, will attempt to find her trace, LOL::

<Glitch> ::Waiting too. with her dad. mawwww why can’t we other cyberkats have someone that actually cares about us like that?::

<DrGreenbox> <Josie> They’re in the breakroom, sir.

<DriverSK> <Jason> ::goes with her, then::

<DriverSK> <Protocol…?>

<SypherSK> ::puzzled by all this::

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol>::he may be able to track her down lol the closer he gets to the desert base. picks him up though:: <Unit 1333 recieving signal ::to Driver::>

<SypherSK> ((Sorries! Was off taking care of cats.))

<Glitch> <What was that about, Sypher?>

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Is okay))

<Glitch> ((Tis okay! we’ll let it slide this time. XD))

<DrGreenbox> <Josie>::goes to breakroom! leans against wall after he’s in. being nosy XD::

<SypherSK> <I do not know. I am unfamiliar with this Driver.>

<DrGreenbox> ::looks to Jase::

<DriverSK> <:comes to a stop somewhere, frowning, heads towards the desert now:: Protocol?! Is that you?!>

<Glitch> <As am I. Where are you located at currently?>

<DriverSK> <Jason> Dr. Greenbox? ::extends a hand:; Captain Jason Korat.

<Glitch> ::looks at Jason as he comes in::

<StormcrowSelkirk> Captain Korat, there you are. We need to – ::looks:: Hey, where did McGrath go?

<DrGreenbox> ::shakes his hand:: Nice to meet you sir.

<SypherSK> <At the MBI.>

<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> Hey, wait… Who are *you*?!))

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol> <Affirmative. The creator has given me the nomenclature Protocol.>

<DrGreenbox> ((::laughs!::))

<Glitch> <Where in the MBI? I am in the MBI as well.>

<SypherSK> <In the kitchen.>

<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> Just follow the scent of Lysol; you’ll find me.))

<McGrath> :: enters the conference room, bottle of water in hand ::

<Glitch> ((LOL!))

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((<Glitch> What the – ?! We’ve been talking through long distance when we’re only one room apart?! <Sypher> ::mental palmface:: ))

<DriverSK> <What…? This isn’t like you! Don’t you recognize me? It’s Driver!>

<DriverSK> ((::DEAD::))

<Glitch> <I am in the breakroom though I cannot leave at the moment. The Captain Korat is here now.>

<Glitch> ((::DIIES!::))

<DriverSK> <Jason> Merle, you’re alright?

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))

<SypherSK> ::considers peeking in there, is curious about this “Glitch”::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods:: I’m okay for now, but that might change.

<Glitch> ::i’m just a glitch. XD come see me!::

<DriverSK> <jason> Might change? Say what?

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol> <I am not familiar with any “Driver”. Please state your unit number.>

* Kutlass has joined #mbi_sk

<Glitch> ((hey Kutlass!))

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((Hey Kutlass!))

<DriverSK> <Unit number…? Oh no…. they reformatted you…>

<DriverSK> ((Heys!))

<McGrath> :: goes over to the supply cabinet in there, and withdraws a pen and some paper ::

<DriverSK> ::fearing the worst, he is::

<Kutlass> ((Hey, everyone! Sorry for extreme lateness. Dance party going on across the hall and all.))

<Glitch> ::I didn’t reformat her I swear!::

<SypherSK> ((Hey, Kutlass!)

<Glitch> ((tis okies!))

<McGrath> :: with those in hand, walks down the hall, and enters the breakroom ::

<DriverSK> ((S’okie! So long as you brought back chips and dip))

* Kutlass is now known as FletchRyder

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Lo!))

<DrGreenbox> Perhaps wee need to go into another place to discuss this?

<DrGreenbox> McGrath is out wa- er… is here.

<DrGreenbox> ((Hey Fletch!))

<Glitch> ::notes McGrath coming in::

<FletchRyder> ((Afraid not. Only sore shins and an urge to eat pudding. :) ))

<DriverSK> ((Maw. ))

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol> <Reformatted? I have not had to undergo a reformatting.>

<DriverSK> <Jason> ::looks to McGrath:: You. What is going on?

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((<McGrath> I have an official document that allows me to confiscate all your donuts! ::shows them the paper he wrote in:: <Jason> But that’s….just a piece of paper with a bunch of squiggly lines! <McGrath> That’s because the department’s too cheap these days! <Jason> Oh, okay! Take all the donuts you want! ^^ ))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*DIES*))

<Glitch> ((::DIES!::))

<FletchRyder> ((lol))

<FletchRyder> ::where’s all the action at?::

<DriverSK> ((::SOOOODEAD::))

<Glitch> ::Breakroom. we are just now getting in there good::

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Jason> Your “document” is written in orange crayon. <McGrath> As I said, budget cuts and all. The really important documents are written in tasteful black crayon.))

<DrGreenbox> ((Freakroom -er Breakroom.))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<DrGreenbox> ((::DEAD::))

<DrGreenbox> ((::dies Sypher too!::))

<DriverSK> <You haven’t?! Oh, what a relief… then… Forget that. Please, send me your coordinates. I need to speak with you>

<FletchRyder> ((lol!))

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((::DEAD!!::))

<McGrath> You need to get a strike team together.

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol><I am on task awaiting orders from Rilth or the Creator. What is your unit number and why must you speak with me?>

<DriverSK> <Jason> Say what?

<DriverSK> <I have no unit number…. It is important>

<McGrath> Dark Kat has prepared an automated army that is positioning itself to strike Megakat City. It is controlled from a central location in Megakat Desert.

<FletchRyder> ::in the deskroom, finishing up some final forms for the Derringer case before they’re due to nab him::

<DriverSK> <jason> What?! When is this supposed to happen?!

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::listens as McG talks::

<Glitch> ::leans against a table. listening. Does not like all this at all::

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol> <Every cyberdemon has a unit number. ::sends him coordinates anyway, to the satellite up in space! lol::

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((<McGrath> Like I said, you need to get a strike team together! There’s a new terrorist group demanding 12 billion yarn balls. If the government doesn’t comply, they’ll shoot their Hairball Cannon. ::Charlie’s Angels music plays:: <Trina> Did you say – <Tasha> terrorists? <Josie> If so then – <Trina, Tasha, Josie> We’re your gals! ::poses:: <Others> ::stare:: ))

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))

<DriverSK> <::staring:; All the way…. ::looks up::>

<Glitch> ((::SNORTDIIIIES!::))

<FletchRyder> ((LOL))

<SypherSK> ::is listening in from the kitchen::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*DIIIIIES*))

<McGrath> Before the end of today. We may only have hours.

<Glitch> ::stands fully again and moves over towards the kitchen, staying in the doorway to listen:: <Sypher?>::looking his way::

<DriverSK> <Jason> Just what the heck is he planning?1

<SypherSK> ::turns to see her:: Yes?

<Glitch> You will not tell the creator of this. Understood? ::saying like “i won’t let you!”::

<DriverSK> <Driver> <Fine. ::zips up there through one of MASA’s compies::>

<SypherSK> What? ::frowns in confusion::

* DriverSK sets mode: +o FletchRyder

<Glitch> I said you will not tell the creator of this. He is to not know of our plans.

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol><Affirmative.> ::notes his presence once he arrives:: <State your important information.>

<SypherSK> It is my duty to inform him.

<McGrath> It doesn’t matter, only that he’s stopped.

<DrGreenbox> What do you think he’s planning, Captain? ::folds arms::

<Glitch> I will not allow you to inform him.

<DriverSK> <Jason> ::growling:: Conquest.

<DriverSK> <Protocol… it’s ME.>

<SypherSK> ::steps back, debating the best way to deal with this::

<DrGreenbox> ((Can the rest of us hear Glitch ‘n Sypher’s convo there?))

<SypherSK> ((I’d think not yet.))

<Glitch> The creator does not care for you. He only uses you for his own purposes. why serve him?

<Glitch> ((you prolly will shortly though XD))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::listens quietly::

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol> <I already stated that I have no record of a “Driver” in my memory data.>

<McGrath> There’s a slight problem, however :: looks to LS ::

<SypherSK> ((<Glitch> ::raises her voice:: You will NOT or I’ll… I’ll… squirt ketchup on your clean shirt! <Everyone Else> ::blinks as a long, tortured scream echoes from the kitchen:: ))

<DrGreenbox> ::nods to Jase’s answer. then looks over at LS as McGrath does::

<DriverSK> <Jason> Oh?

<Glitch> ((::DIIIIES!::))

<FletchRyder> ((lol!))

<SypherSK> It is what I was made to do.

<DriverSK> <::zaps up to her, grabbing her arm:: You know who I am…>

<DriverSK> ((::DEAD!!::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::realizes them looking at her, and gives a small sigh::

<Glitch> What about what you want to do?

<DriverSK> ((<Sypher> ::runs across the hall screaming bloody murder about stains and how impossible it is to get ketchup off linens::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<DrGreenbox> ((::DIES::))

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((::DEAD!!::))

<SypherSK> ::blinks::

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol><::frowns:: If you are here to hinder my task, I must insist that you cease now.>

<McGrath> The creature that’s been pursuing Selkirk, it’s been working with Dark Kat, and it’s currently in charge of the automated army at the Desert location.

<DrGreenbox> ((<Sypher> Matrix asked me that too. But he wants to play pranks all day. I do not want to play pranks all day. -_-;))

<DriverSK> <Driver> <So I have to do this the hard way…. I’m sorry. ::merges with her?::>

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: Actually, he should mention that….))

<StormcrowSelkirk> And apparently, my powers mean that I can destroy it.

<SypherSK> ::does remember Matrix asking him that… but Matrix was malfunctioning::

<FletchRyder> ((<Sypher> I just want to… ::as birds start chirping a merry tune behind him:: Sing! <Dark Kat> ::rumbles in:: NO! Stop that! Stop that! I’ll have no Cyberdemon of mine singing!))

<StormcrowSelkirk> Or something like that. I still don’t fully understand.

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol>::sure! it is easy since she’s acoherent in the satellite’s computer system already lol we might break this -g-:: <virus>::sits inside Protocol lol best avoid me!::

<DriverSK> <Jason> Creature? What sort of creature….? <Trina> ::appears in the doorway:; Cyberdemons. ::yes, heard their convo, if that’s what they are, that is. ;D If not, kill her line::

<SypherSK> ((::ISSOOOOOOOOOODEAD Fletch!::))

<DriverSK> ((::SOOOOOOODEADFLETCH!!!!!::))

<Glitch> ((::DYING ALL!::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*DIES*))

<DrGreenbox> ((::DIEES Fletch!::))

<Glitch> Do you not have wants and needs of your own?

<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> ::stares at Glitch now with sympathy, having made this connection:: I understand. You are afflicted as Matrix is. It is tragic.))

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((::DEAD!!::))

<DriverSK> <Driver> ::frowns at virus:: <What is this…?>

<SypherSK> That is not… ::has developed a few vague impressions of such, but they’re incomplete::

<McGrath> You’ve encountered it before. As I recall it almost killed you in your own office.

<DrGreenbox> <virus>::icky nasty! you touchy you get infected!:: <Vacate my system immediately!>

<DrGreenbox> ((<Protocol>^ ::said that::))

<Glitch> not important? I am much happier now without him telling me what to do all the time.

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((<Sypher> ::starts a Disney-esque musical, with animals and creeplings dancing in the background:: <Dark Kat> ::is curled up in a fetal position, hands clamped to ears, screaming in a tortured voice:: ))

<DrGreenbox> ::quiet, letting the heroes talk XD:: <Josie>::is dumbfounded hearing alla this::

<DriverSK> <So this is what’s causing it… ::extends a hand, creating a sort of “antiviral” binary code::>

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dead*))

<SypherSK> ((::DIES at the image… bets Sage would be with Dark Kat and… hmm… there’s a thought:: ))

<Glitch> ((::DIIES!::))

<SypherSK> I do not experience emotion.

<DriverSK> ((::DEAD!::))

<FletchRyder> ::should probably get in on this before he misses much more. XD gets up, his coffee mug emptied, and heads for the breakroom for a refill. rubs at the corner of his eye with the back of his hand::

<DrGreenbox> ((::DYING::))

<Glitch> ::frowns:: that is such a shame. You should merge with a biological and gain them. They are quite facinating.

<DriverSK> <Jason> You know about all this? <trina> Mark asked me to investigate it, but I dind’t believe it until now. ::drops file on the table for anyone to look:: It’s his latest project.

<SypherSK> ::blinks:: That seems like a rather dangerous move.

<DrGreenbox> <virus>::cannot be destroyed, but can be contained, isolated and quarantined mun thinks::

<DriverSK> <Driver> ::goes do that, then. Finds he can’t delete it, but does do the quarantine and isolation::

<DrGreenbox> ::peers at file:: … the cyberdemons. :;sighs::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::small groan::

<DrGreenbox> ::glad Glitch isn’t part of DK’s project anymore:: <Josie> Cyberwhatsits? ::goes over to look at the file::

<Glitch> <Virus>::Its actually up to you. depends on how bad she got it. A full version can’t be gotten rid of but a partial version could be probably::

<DriverSK> <Trina> Sentient kats made by computer programs.

<Glitch> i have done it numerous times. I have gained sentience like the biologicals have.

<SypherSK> I am not interested in such.

<FletchRyder> ::hears Josie’s last word, and ears immediately perk as he finally joins the party. taken aback as he enters and sees such a crowd there:: What’s going on?

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol>::system attempting a … restoration lol. defragmentor? XD stops trying to push out Driver, is still and quiet while she’s recovering lost files and things being put back together to more of the Future Protocol::

<DriverSK> <Trina> ::looks to Fletch:: I told them.

<Glitch> I was not either till I merged with my dad. He has shown me how to live as a biological. I rather enjoy it. I’m free.

<SypherSK> ::frowns::

<McGrath> Now you understand the complexity of the situation. The location in the desert will be filled with Cyberdemons.

<FletchRyder> ::pauses at Trina’s words, then looks completely shocked as he sees and hears McGrath:: What the..You!

<DriverSK> <Jason> SO that’s his plan? To conquer the city with these beings?

<Glitch> You will promise me now you will not go to the creator with this information, understand?

<DriverSK> <Driver> <That should do it…> ::merges out::

<DrGreenbox> And an army of automated weaponry too it seems… ::looks to McGrath::

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((<Fletch> Cyberdemons? ::pauses, and thinks back to forum posters who pay no attention whatsoever to proper grammar:: Let’s get ‘em! ::pulls out shotgun and runs to the desert:: <Josie> Does he even know where their base is at?))

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))

<FletchRyder> ::looking back and forth from all the seemingly random figures in the room, a look of bewilderment evident on his face::

<DriverSK> ((:SOOODEAD!!::))

<SypherSK> I cannot make such an agreement.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*DIIIIES*))

<Glitch> ((::diies!::))

<McGrath> The Cyberdemons are still in a … testing phase. Dark Kat won’t use them as a primary weapon yet. They are more useful in other roles, such as espionage, mass-construction, and data-manipulation.

<Glitch> ::Frowns:: then I will have to ensure you do not do so. ::raises hand to form a energy ball.::

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol>::systems are mostly restored, soul back intact and memories regained, at least up to what McGrath was able to restore them. remembers all he told her though. “shakes” it off as Driver unmerges then takes him in:: <D… Driver…? This can’t be… I… where are we? ::checking surroundings::>

<McGrath> Or in this case, guarding a critical facility.

<FletchRyder> ((lol! <Fletch> They spawn from a place called- ::dramatic pause:: AOL chat rooms! ::shivers:: <All> Uh huh.))

<DrGreenbox> ((::DEAD Ash::))

<Glitch> ((::SOOOODEAD!::))

<DriverSK> <For some reason, in outer space…>

<DriverSK> <That’s where I found you…>

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((::DEAD::))

<DriverSK> ((::DEAD!!!:))

<SypherSK> ::steps back, starting to go acoherent himself::

<Glitch> ::tosses energy ball at him!::

<DriverSK> <Jason> Which would be…?

<DrGreenbox> ((::DEAD Fletch! XD::))

<DrGreenbox> ::notes Glitch’s actions?::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::listens::

<Ash_D_Wolf> ::passes through the breakroom and hears bits of what they’re talking about. Enters:: What’s happening?

<SypherSK> ::goes acoherent and zaps into the nearest outlet::

<StormcrowSelkirk> Oh, where to begin . . .

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::to Ash::

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol> <This can’t be! You died, or will die… You can’t have gained a soul yet, it is too soon!>

<FletchRyder> ::notes something flashy out of the corner of his eye, and sees the two’s bizarre actions:: Whoa! Hey!

<Glitch> ::sure! mrrs!. goes acoherant and follows!::

<DriverSK> <Protocol, it is me… I didn’t die… I wasn’t completely reformatted… ::holding her by the arms::>

<McGrath> So in short, you need to assemble a team, go to this facility, disable it’s ability to control the army, and destroy the one controlling it. He’s known as Rilth.

<DrGreenbox> Tessie?! ::hurries over there, stops as she zaps out of the room::

<DrGreenbox> <Josie>::overwhelming feeling too as she sits down, putting file back on the table::

<SypherSK> ::makes to zap back to Dark Kat’s base::

<DriverSK> <Jason> ::blinking at McGrath, then at the commotion:: <Trina> ::runs out there:; What’s going on?

<Glitch> ::tries to catch up to him and grab him to drag him back::

<McGrath> :: head turns at the noise :: That is no doubt our cover being blown :: turns back to Jase :: Dark Kat will be informed soon. This needs to be done now.

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol>::would cry if she wasn’t acoherent lol:: <Then… how is it you are here?>

<DrGreenbox> <Dark Kat>::about to head off to the desert base::

<Ash_D_Wolf> ::notes the bizzare incident:: I think you need to start from the beginning ::to Merle::

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: is at the desert base coordinating everything ::

<StormcrowSelkirk> There isn’t time. ::to Ash:: If . . . *when* all of this is over, I’ll tell everything.

<DrGreenbox> I don’t know, ma’am… Tessie just… zapped out after something…

<DrGreenbox> ::to Trina::

<DriverSK> <Jason> ::growls:; Fine. We’ll do this. I need to know who is all here.

<SypherSK> ((<Greenbox> Probably a mouse. CyberKat’s sometimes access their feline instincts a bit too much. She’ll be back soon. Just smile and thank her if she brings you the mouse.))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<DrGreenbox> <Josie> Jason’s in the deskroom… Hertz is at the front desk.

<DriverSK> <Driver> When McGrath drug you here… I… you know those left over files that most programs leave behind even when they’re uninstalled?

<FletchRyder> Am I the only one just a little bit unnerved about there just being two cyberdemons in the kitchen, and then the fact that the mysterious “McGrath” is suddenly in our breakroom giving us orders?

<DrGreenbox> ((er Joe not Jason lol))

<Glitch> ((::DIIES!::))

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol> <Yes… what about them?>

<DriverSK> <Jason> I’m more concerned about this invasion than who’s giving orders, Ryder. ::into the radio:: I need every agent available in the conference room. NOW.

<DrGreenbox> <Josie> Nope. ::to Ryder lol::

<SypherSK> ((<MBI> ::learns Sypher was the spy:: He was working for Dark Kat all along! And, he cleaned our toilets, the fiend!))

<DrGreenbox> <Josie>::then hears Jase, goes into the conference room!::

<DriverSK> <I had a file backup in one of them. ::sorta sneaky smile::>

<DrGreenbox> ((::DIES::))

<DriverSK> ((:SOOODEAD!!::))

<Ash_D_Wolf> ::nods:: Alright, I’ll trust you there. But, isn’t there anything I can do?

<Glitch> ::does she catch Syper or did mun miss a line?::

<SypherSK> ::still on the run at the moment, but is open for catching!::

<StormcrowSelkirk> <You wouldn’t be thinking that if people wanted to experiment on *you*.>

<Glitch> ::attempts to catch then!::

<DrGreenbox> <Protocol> <… meaning, you weren’t completely destroyed… ::”hugs” Driver as much as one can in this state they be in:: But how did you get back here in the past?>

<Glitch> <Joe>::gets up from his desk and comes in! in a hurry to!:: <Tasha>::does as well!::

<DriverSK> <Driver> ::hugs her back:: I hitched a ride, I guess…>

<FletchRyder> ::just sighs, his shoulders drooping some as he goes to fill his coffee cup quickly and chug as much as he can:: <Hertz> ::startled by the radio. immediately jumps up, falls down, gets up again, makes a few more yards before falling down, and eventually stumbles his way across the finish line into the breakroom:: Agent Hertz-::gasp, wheeze:: repohorting fohor duty, sirhir..::bent over, hands on knees::

<DriverSK> ((::DEADDEAD!!!::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))

<DriverSK> <Jason> Listen up, as I’m only going to say this once – ::explains teh situation to them::

<Glitch> <Joe>::sits back in his seat as they go through the robots::

<FletchRyder> ::manages to get through the majority of forces, car terribly banged up though, with a dismembered robot arm hanging limply over his window. almost gasping as they break free from the tight robot formations and finally see the outskirts of the city:: We’ve almost made it.

<JasonKorat> <Trina> We’re almost there. Hang on.

<StormcrowSelkirk> I’ll try. ::watches intently now::

<McGrath> <Desert> :: can be seen a short distance away, the tracks of the army creating a path across the desolate area ::

<Ash_D_Wolf> Almost. Don’t let your guard down yet! ::winces at the pain in his tongue::

<FletchRyder> ::glancing at duffel bag:: How many do we have left?

<Glitch> <Tasha>::frowning at the dents on her own vehicle:: oh wonderful…::following Fletch out now::

<Josie_Lyons> ::breaths out finally when they pass the robots finally. checks:: Only about seven…

<McGrath> <MKC> :: in the distance, is the quentessential scene of a war zone ::

<Ash_D_Wolf> I’ve still got three grenades with me, so that makes it ten ::to Josie::

<JasonKorat> ::looks over the mirror:: Good kats… <C’mon, guys… they need you there…>

<StormcrowSelkirk> <Bexa> ::drives into the desert from another angle, just trying to get away from the fighting and from under the aerial battles::

<FletchRyder> ::wets his lips, eyes set on the road ahead as his hands stay clenched around the steering wheel:: <This is bad>

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::slows the car down and finally comes to a stop:: <Jason> ::into the radio:: Status report, everybody.

<Glitch> <Tasha>::gets out on out in the open road and floors it right behind Fletch. picks up her radio:: I’m alright. Just shook up. Right behind Ryder heading into the dessert.

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((<Razor> Say T-Bone, doesn’t this seem awfull familiar? <T-bone> What is? <Razor> This whole robot invasion business! <T-Bone> ::flashbacks to the part in “Bright and Shiny Future” where he and Razor crash to their deaths:: I don’t see where you’re going with this, so let’s go! ))

<JasonKorat> ((:DEADDEAD!::))

<McGrath> ((::dies::))

<Glitch> ((LOL!)(

<FletchRyder> ((LOL))

<Josie_Lyons> ::takes up her comm unit:: Team one are through the robotic barrier sir, heading towards the desert facility now.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<Josie_Lyons> ((::DIIES::))

<FletchRyder> There it is. ::points ahead while Josie’s still on the radio::

<McGrath> <Desert Facility> :: built into the side of a sand dune, with an open hangar/work area exposed ::

<JasonKorat> Roger that. Team two in the desert heading towards facility. Over.

<Glitch> <Glitch>::Frowning. doesn’t like that place at all after her encounter with Rilth::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::looks thataway::

<McGrath> Their primary defense will be the Cyberdemons stationed there. Let me worry about them. Everything else will range from Creeplings, to those robotic troops you’ve just encountered. Rilth will be there. :: describes the computer control center, etc. and where it will probably be located :: Destroying everything would be your best bet.

<JasonKorat> Alright. Let’s go, Trina. <Trina> ::is gripping the steering wheel, teeth clenched, breathing heavily and sweating::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods:: And this thing, ::lifts her arm:: will it work on creatures besides Rilth? I don’t want to start any fires if I can help it.

<Glitch> What do you wish me to do since Rilth will detect my presence?

<McGrath> <Damaged Aircraft> :: zoom overhead every now and then, landing in the Desert FAcility for repairs, and taking off anew ::

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((<Trina> And how will you handle the Cyberdemons? <McGrath> ::smirks:: Easy, with this! ::takes out a water pistol:: <Trina> ::groans and palmface:: We’re doomed ))

<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD!::))

<FletchRyder> ::rapidly drawing nearer the base, eyes peeled for any visible resistance around it:: How do you want us to go in, Lyons? Guns a-blazing, or using a more subtle approach?

<Josie_Lyons> <Josie> Desert Facility is in sight. Do we head on in, sir?

<McGrath> You can distract him while the others go into the facility.

<FletchRyder> ((lol))

<Glitch> ::nods:: very well then. And if he restricts my abilities as he did last time?

<McGrath> :: turns to Glitch :: I’m sure you’ll be more careful this time.

<Glitch> ::Frowns:: I was careful last time.

<FletchRyder> ((<McGrath> Just spit in his eye. <Glitch> ::takes down note::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<JasonKorat> ::into radio:: Do it. :then to Trina:: C’mon, let’s go. <Trina> Take over the wheel. ::whispered:: <Jason> What? <Trina> Take over the wheel. ::through her teeth:: I’ve been shot.

<Ash_D_Wolf> ((lol))

<Glitch> ((::DIIES!::))

<McGrath> Then you’ll have to be creative. That virus of yours won’t disable him, but it should be enough to keep him busy, or at least skew some of his abilities temporarily.

<JasonKorat> ((::SOOOOODEAD!!::))

<Glitch> <Joe>::blinks from where he is. frowns::Trina? ::sits up some::

<Glitch> ::nods:: Perhaps I can download it to him then.

<FletchRyder> ((And, I’m afraid I’ll have to be going pretty soon as well))

<JasonKorat> Where!? <Trina> ::slumps over::

<Glitch> ((maww nights!))

<McGrath> ((Does anyone else have monday off?))

<JasonKorat> ((Night Fletch! Maybe we should pause here?))

<Glitch> <Joe>::eyes wide:: Trina! ::reaches up and grabs her:: grab it Jason!
