<Josie_Lyons> 4 RPG On!

<Josie_Lyons> ::so we all arriving at the desert facility?::

<Glitch> ((darn you..I was gonna start that too! lol!))

* _Matt_ is now known as McGrath

<Glitch> ::jez! wassa arriving!:: <Joe>::was helping hold up Trina since she’s shot::

<FletchRyder> ::how’s the perimeter look? as he nears their vehicle ever closer to the facility::

<Sagey> <Jason> Keep her steady. ;to Joe::

* Sagey is now known as JasonKorat

<Glitch> <Tasha>::right behind Fletch in her car. looking at the facility::

<StormcrowMerle> ::here is we! Adjusts the sleeve of her jacket to try and be sure it won’t be hit when the blade comes out::

<Glitch> <Joe>::nods:: I got her. Can you get into her seat to drive if I pull her out?

<McGrath> ((I was checking Livejournal the other night in my efforts to try and replicate this: (used Kris’ as an example) : http://mattfiske.werewolfsmg.net/sagesk2/pages/try.php I figure that perhaps something like this can be done with the MBI LJ ))

<FletchRyder> ((<Joe> ::ears perk at that:: Go steady with her? Well, oookay! <Jason> ::twitch:: Where’s that passenger eject button?))

<McGrath> ((Only problem is it apparently needs to be a paid account type to apply styles))

<Glitch> ((::DIIIES!::))

<Glitch> ((::nods:: you do have to have a paid account I’m pretty sure. ))

<JasonKorat> (DEAD!!))

<McGrath> <Desert Facilty Perimeter> :: is mostly clear it would seem, leading up to the large hangar doors that are open ::

<JasonKorat> ((::nods:: Paid account. ::grumbles:: Darn those paod accounts. XD))

<JasonKorat> Yeah. :moves to get Trina in the back::

<Glitch> <Joe>::pulls her back into his lap if he can to get her out of the way::

<Glitch> ::looks to LS:: you ready?

<StormcrowMerle> I’m never going to be ready. ::flat voice:: But I guess I don’t have a choice.

<Josie_Lyons> ((Sorry I didn’t update again ^^; ::been feeling too yucky to siddown and recap this week::))

<FletchRyder> <It can’t be this simple.> ::eyes scanning the desert surrounding the base, driving right up to the hangar:: Keep alert.

<JasonKorat> ((Sokie!))

<McGrath> ((I continued looking into this, and I found that I can actually include the LJ inside a CSS container: http://mattfiske.werewolfsmg.net/sagesk2/pages/try2.php ))

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::it outcold, but breathing heavily::

<StormcrowMerle> ((Cool!))

<Glitch> <joe>::starts checking her to see where she is hit at::

<McGrath> ((The only thing that would need to be changed is the layout and style of the LJ itself from the source, i.e. the “Edit” section))

<Glitch> ::small smile:: you will do just fine I am sure. I will help you as much as I am able to.

<StormcrowMerle> :;smiles back:: Thanks, Tessie.

<Josie_Lyons> ::narrows eyes as they near said facility:: Right. ::lol she’s supposed to be leading them, but has taken a backseat to that after Fletch’s recent wild driving to escape teh bots of doom::

* Retrieving #mbi_sk modes…

<JasonKorat> <Trina> :got hit in the leg::

<McGrath> Stop the car.

<FletchRyder> ::don’t be afraid to put him in his place. its in his nature to get a little ambitious::

<JasonKorat> (((Its’ looking awesome, Matters!))

<JasonKorat> ((Who’s car is McG in? I forget)

<Glitch> <Joe>::glad it isn’t somewhere major. lol! tries to put a hand over it and hold pressure to help stop the bleeding::

<FletchRyder> ((<McGrath> ::in his own custom built Shriner car. beat them there going the speed of sound, barely even keeping his fez on::))

<Glitch> ((::DEAD!::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((*DIES*))

<McGrath> :: is in someone’s car… the one that’s still moving XD ::

<FletchRyder> ::spots the car load of other Megs? slowing down to follow their lead::

<JasonKorat> <Jason> ::okay, is in ours, then. XD:: What?! ::to McG::

<StormcrowMerle> ::is in the car with herself and Glitch and the others, mun vaguely recalls?::

<Glitch> ::just all stop then! lol! McG will be stopped then. XD ::

<StormcrowMerle> ::or not!::

<Josie_Lyons> ((::dies Fletch!::))

<JasonKorat> ((::dead, Fletch!::))

<McGrath> ((Also, mentioned this to CK already, I went ahead and changed the coding to XHTML and CSS. The code is less ugly now: http://mattfiske.werewolfsmg.net/sagesk2/ ))

<Glitch> ((yeah it looked good. This is what you were showing me at like…6am the other morning right?))

<JasonKorat> ((Looking good, matt!))

<McGrath> Stop the car. We go on foot from here.

<JasonKorat> …. ::looks to Joe::

<FletchRyder> ((I know not of what you speak, but I do know of what I see, which is amazing.))

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL looks good!))

<Glitch> <Joe> I’ll stay with her. You guys go ahead. I’ll keep a lookout for anyone trying to return and stop you.

<McGrath> <Aircraft> :: zoom by overhead, coming to and from the hangar, oblivious to their presence ::

<Josie_Lyons> ::notes the aircraft. when they pull up with the others, she steps out of Fletch’s car:: Why are we stopping? We’re sitting ducks out here.

<JasonKorat> Be careful. ::as he grabs his gun:: Stay low.

<FletchRyder> ::ducks a little at all the zooming, his battered vehicular up next to theirs. follows Josie and gets out:: I don’t know. ::grabbing up what weapons he can and looking towards the others::

<McGrath> :: exits the vehicle ::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::gets out as well, watching an aircraft:: I sure hop my car don’t get anymore banged up than it already is…::grabs up weapons and such to go with!:: <Joe> You’re the ones to be careful. I can handle this end.

<StormcrowMerle> ::waits for the others to exit before getting out herself. Isn’t looking forward to this.::

<Glitch> ::gets out when they stop. stays near Stormcrow:: How should we proceed?

<Josie_Lyons> ::takes up the remainder of the weaponry that Fletch doesn’t.::

<JasonKorat> ::goes after McG::

<FletchRyder> ((<Josie> ::grabs the semi-automatic accordian:: Oh yeah, this’ll really do some damage. ::rolling eyes:: <Fletch> Hey. In the right hands… <Josie> ::glares at him::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((LOL))

<Josie_Lyons> ((::dies!::))

<Glitch> ((::DEAD!!!!:: ))

<McGrath> :: begins walking towards the entrance ::

<Josie_Lyons> ::prolly has a rifle, her regular side arm, and a few remaining grenades ‘n ammo::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::Note’s McGrath. glances at her group:: Shall we?

<FletchRyder> ::squints at the proceding form of McGrath, looking first at Josie then Jason::

<StormcrowMerle> I guess we follow him. ::to Glitch. Does so::

<Josie_Lyons> ::looks at McGrath and then to Tasha:: … what choice do we have? ::starts heading after him:: I hope you know what you’re doing, you lunatic hood. ::says to McGrath lol::

<JasonKorat> ((BRB!))

<Josie_Lyons> ((okay!))

<Glitch> ::nods:: I suppose so. ::follows stormcrow and McG.::

<StormcrowMerle> ((Okay))

<FletchRyder> ::jaw set, follows after them hurriedly::

<McGrath> :: doesn’t reply to Josie, approahces the open doors :: <Sand> :: transitions into a concrete floor the closer they get ::

<JasonKorat> ((back))

<JasonKorat> ::blinking at all this;: What in…?

<StormcrowMerle> ((wb!))

<Glitch> ((WB!))

<Josie_Lyons> ::keeping quiet now, ears perked, eyes looking around, tail swishing from side to side… tense::

<Josie_Lyons> ((wb!))

<FletchRyder> ((WB))

<Glitch> <Tasha>::looking around. gun drawn:: wow….just…wow…

<McGrath> :: peers around one of the large doors ::

<FletchRyder> ::silently taking this all in, keeping on the alert. ears twitching at the occassional plane::

<StormcrowMerle> ::keeps her arm tensed and at the ready, looking around::

<McGrath> <Facility> :: is full of activity as damanged aircraft return for repairs and then take off anew. Loudness, machinery, hustle and bustle, etc. ::

<JasonKorat> Looks like we found the rat’s nest…

<Glitch> ::peers inside. glances at Stormcrow a minute and then back inside::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::somewhere to one side of the large hangar type facility, sitting in a large chair in front of a console with several monitors to watch the action with glee and give out commands as needed. isn’t seen as you first enter though, opposite side of the hangar doors::

<McGrath> This place is full of Cyberdemons. You won’t last five minutes in a direct confrontation. :: looks to Glitch ::

<StormcrowMerle> :;goes to look inside too, but stays toward the back, also glancing backward::

<FletchRyder> Anyone think to pack some C4? ::says lowly::

<Josie_Lyons> ::quietly:: So what are we to do? How do you expect to get Merle close enough to the main Cyberguy Rilth?

<Josie_Lyons> ::blinks, looks to Fletch::

<JasonKorat> :eyes narrowed:: We’re gonna have to cover her back.

<Glitch> ::nods:: Then how should I proceed?

<McGrath> Simple. Deposit me in the center of the activity there :: points :: I’ll take care of the Cyberdemons.

<Josie_Lyons> You? ::scoffs:: By yourself?

<Glitch> ::blinks:: A biological would not stand a chance against many cyberdemons.

<JasonKorat> NO way you’re going in there alone.

<StormcrowMerle> ::listens, eyes widen:: McGrath, that’s crazy.

<McGrath> :: looks to Glitch :: No time to argue.

<Glitch> Very well then. ::walks over and tries to take him by the arm and go acoherant::

<McGrath> :: is taken ::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::shaking her head:: If he’s got a death wish let him go…

<JasonKorat> Wha….! ::grumbles:: Fine. We’ll play his game. ::motions:: Let’s move.

<FletchRyder> ::eyebrow arched, an incredulous look on his face::

<StormcrowMerle> ::shivers a little watching it and pulls her jacket closer about herself::

<StormcrowMerle> ::moves::

<Josie_Lyons> ::nods to Jase and readies rifle, follows him::

<Glitch> ::zaps them into a nearby electrical outlet and moves along the powerlines inside till they are in the middle, then zaps them out and takes them solid again in the middle of the group of cyberdemons::

<FletchRyder> ::follows Jason, hoping those two know what they’re doing::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::readies her gun and heads inside, following the others::

<JasonKorat> ::keeps his gun at bay, goes looking for Dark kat::

<McGrath> :: once he’s deposited in the middle of them :: Excuse me.

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::in the meantime, slits her eyes open, wincing::

<StormcrowMerle> ::low voice:: How do we find Rilth?

<Josie_Lyons> <cyberdemons>::’bout five of them, all turn from their tasks to look at Glitch and McGrath::

<Glitch> ::leggos of McG and steps back some. lol! doesn’t like this::

<JasonKorat> We look for the head of the parade.

<FletchRyder> I almost have a feeling he’s going to find us. ::head going from front to the back of them::

<StormcrowMerle> ::gulps::

<Glitch> <Joe>::looking out a window and not watching her. watching for any activity outside the norm::

<Josie_Lyons> … Dark Kat you mean? ::asks quietly::

<McGrath> You should leave :: to Glitch, faces the Cyberdemons :: You’ve got a priority one order to terminate me on sight. Go get your friends.

<Glitch> No. I will not leave you here. You will not survive if I do. ::forms an energy ball in her hand::

<JasonKorat> <Trina> Water… ::whispered::

<McGrath> <McGrath and Co.> :: can no doubt be seen from the group’s vantage point, in the center of the aircraft repair area ::

<Glitch> <Joe>::blinks. looks at her quickly:: trina? Trina are you okay? ::starts checking her::

<JasonKorat> <Trina> Water… ::repeating, tries to sit up::

<Glitch> <Joe> no no..lay back down. I’m not sure that we have any water in here. Just hang on. we’ll get some when we get you to a hospital in a bit.

<Josie_Lyons> <cyberdemons> ::all send out simultanious messages to the other c-demons of McGrath’s presence as they approach him. let Glitch leave it seems::

<JasonKorat> I hope he knows what he’s doing… ::and, where be de’ DK?::

<McGrath> They aren’t going to be paying any attention to you. They have higher priorities :: takes out a grapnel gun and fires a line off to the side and darts away ::

<StormcrowMerle> :;listens to firing, but does not look. Is on a hair-trigger for Rilth, and mostly only Rilth::

<Glitch> ::reabsorbs her energy ball. frowns some and goes acoherant. zaps back into a light socket and goes in search of Rilth. tries to contact him:: <Rilth.>

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::overseeing things… narrows eyes as he notes some activity within his lair:: Why have the cyberdemons stopped working? ::notes McGrath, and then the Megs via security cams. growls:: Fools! They can’t stop me now!

<Glitch> <Tasha>::creeping along:: so do I. Else our cover will be blown…

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: standing somewhere near DK, notes the group :: They will be dealt with.

<JasonKorat> ::comes to a stop, motions with his fingers: ONe team take aright. Another take a left.

<JasonKorat> <Trina> No. Water. It’s what stops them….

<Glitch> ::attempts to merge into DK’s compy console to get close to Rilth if she can. trying ot stay undetected.::

<Glitch> <Joe>::blinks:: Water? What are you talking about?

<McGrath> <Facility> :: various security checkpoints start to free up no doubt as the Cyberdemons leave their posts, opening up clear paths through the facility ::

<FletchRyder> <So much for the element of surprise.> ::has rifle at the ready now, fully charged. nods at Jason’s command, assuming the teams are same as before, waits for Josie’s lead::

<JasonKorat> <Trina> The cyberdemons. Their weakness is water.

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::attempts to get the c-demons back to work, but they aren’t responding to his commands due to Rilth’s little override! can be heard yelling angrily in the distance XD:: Riiilth!

<Josie_Lyons> <cyberdemons>::go acoherent and zap after McGrath, more join and fling energy balls or electric bolts after him lol::

<StormcrowMerle> ::hears the distant noise and jumps a little::

<Josie_Lyons> ::nods at that, goes to the right then quickly!::

<Glitch> <Joe> water….I..never thought of that…::grabs his radio if he has one and tries to contact Jason:: Captain.

<McGrath> A minor… glitch it would seem. They appear focussed on the target. As soon as he is eliminated, we can troubleshoot and install a patch.

<FletchRyder> ::follows right behind::

<McGrath> <rilth ^>

<Glitch> <Tasha>::follows Josie’s lead! going to the right!::

<Glitch> ::attempts to jump out of the computer and merge with Rilth if he’s close enough. going to try to download the virus to disorient him::

<JasonKorat> ::perks his ears at DK’s scream::

<McGrath> :: swings upward between pylons, ducking behind various I-beams as the blasts are shot at him. Dives through a large conduit, landing in the aircraft take-off area ::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat> Glitch?! ::growls:: I want it FIXED and I want it fixed NOW! Creeplings! See to the intruding kats! <creepies>::chitter and hurry off in two diff directions towards each group of Megs::

<FletchRyder> ((<Jason> ::hearing DK’s wails:: Hmm. Sounds like they converted another Taco Bell location into a Jenny Craig.))

<Glitch> ((::SOOOOODEAD!::))

<StormcrowMerle> ::cannot help but see the creeplings approach, but is nonetheless spooked into action::

<Josie_Lyons> ((::diiies!::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((*DIES*))

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

<JasonKorat> We found him! Move it! ::to the others if they can hear him::

<JasonKorat> ::as he grabs his radio:: Forge, what is it?

<Josie_Lyons> <c-demons>::gaining on McGrath, half are acoherent, rest solid still moving in, still sending blasts and bolts, probably breaking things and making marks everywhere::

<McGrath> <Creeplings> :: several descend from above, landing in and around LS’s group, fangs bared and generally looking all scary-like ::

<Glitch> <Joe> Water. The cyberkats’ weakness is water. At least we think so.

<Josie_Lyons> ::blinks hearing Jason, then spots creeplings approaching herself ‘n Ryder:: Crud… company. ::readies and aims rifle to open fire::

<FletchRyder> ::has heard of these little pink creatures, but has yet to face them. takes a knee and waits for signal to fire::

<JasonKorat> …. roger. ::to Joe::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::Frowns:: wonderful…::takes aim, ready to fire::

<JasonKorat> ::reloads his handgun:: Fire at will.

<Glitch> <Joe> ::smirks at Trina:: There. Now you rest.

<Glitch> ::did she make the merge with rilth?::

<McGrath> :: dives and slides down part of the exposed runway, firing a line that snags an aircraft by one of its landing gear as it takes off ::

<StormcrowMerle> ::breathes shrilly:: Stay back! ::reflexively formes fire around the non-armed hand and swipes it back and forth to ward any creepies away::

<Josie_Lyons> Open fire! We gotta get to Dark Kat! ::starts firing away at the creepies!::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::does so! starts firing at random creepies! ::

<JasonKorat> ::fires, then yells:: McGrath! If you can hear me – use water! WATER!

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: turns around to face Glitch just as she dives at him, grabbing her “mid-air” ::

<FletchRyder> ::starts blasting away at the nearest few::

<JasonKorat> ::firefires::

<Josie_Lyons> <c-demons>::attempt to leap into McGrath for a merge, the rest attempting to surround him. one zaps into the aircraft::

<Josie_Lyons> <creeplings>::guh ow bleh eek! are soon taken out by the weapons fire on both sides! up to muns if any get close lol::

<StormcrowMerle> ::lets the others shoot, but does not actually throw fire yet, as does not want to explode anything after seeing so many aircraft::

<Glitch> ::Yelps as is caught. mrrs:: <rilth..you will not succeed in this>

<FletchRyder> ::stands up from his kneeling position, taking a few small steps forward, trying to press them back::

<Josie_Lyons> ::covering Fletch’s back she is, fires at any that try to come at them from above::

<McGrath> :: grabs onto the landing gear and climbs up the side of the aircraft once the line reels him, narrowly missing the pursuing Cyberdemons that were behind him. Uses glovatrix to hang on to the side as the aircraft takes off into the sky, not yet noticing it’s controlled by a cyberdemon ::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::covers Fletch as well. fires at any oncoming creepies::

<McGrath> <Rilth> <I already have> :: uses superior ability to throw her across the room ::

<Josie_Lyons> <cyberdemon> ::overriding the auto controls as the jet takes off. engines soon shut off::

<FletchRyder> ::stops firing once they’ve been taken out, letting out a small breath:: Well, that wasn’t so bad. ::turning back towards the other two::

<Josie_Lyons> Then let’s get to Dark Kat and the others. ::reloads again and moves forward::

<StormcrowMerle> Actually, it wasn’t. Maybe I’ll survive this after all. ::goes with::

<Josie_Lyons> <creepies>::with Jase ‘n co, are soon taken out as well!::

<FletchRyder> ::nods, following cautiously::

<Glitch> ::issa thrown! goes acoherant and merges into an outlet in the wall before she can it it. :: <we will stop you. ::tries to piggyback a copy of the virus to him on her messages::>

<Glitch> <Tasha>::follows!:: Don’t say it wasn’t bad till we are back at HQ alive.

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::furiously trying to gain control of the cyberdemons who are now exiting the base, heading after the jet on the ground lol!::

<FletchRyder> If there is still an HQ to go back to.

<JasonKorat> ::spies him, DKmun?::

<McGrath> :: notes the engines have ceased to work, and the ground below getting closer as the jet plummets. Grabs onto a grip near the canopy, and then deploys the g-trix saw, slashing the canopy servos and sending it flying up and off ::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::indeed you do!::

<JasonKorat> DARK KAT! ::fires a warning shot at his feet?::

<Glitch> <Tasha> lets hope there is. ::we make it to DK too?::

<Josie_Lyons> <cyberdemon>::just for irony… if this counts as irony XD is Cyrillic’s past self. zaps out of the console, quickly going solid in an attempt to leap onto McGrath in hopes of grabbing hold of him to try and keep him in the jet::

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: gets the virus uploaded to him, begins to lose his facade form, as his appearance changes back to the default staticky look he debuted with ::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::flinches at the shot, not turning around in the chair. pauses in his work. yes y’all do!:: How very rude of you to come uninvited.

<Glitch> ::inwardly smirks. zaps around back to DK’s computers. starts trying to take them over and shut down his systems if she can::

<JasonKorat> ::snarks, aims his gun, waiting for the others to do so:: Hands where we can see them.

<StormcrowMerle> ::bites back a gasp at hearing his voice::

<Josie_Lyons> ::aims her weapon as her superior officer does::

<McGrath> :: is pinned down inside the cockpit now it would seem :: Ironic :: uses free hand to start an engine emergency start as she’s left the jet’s electrical system ::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::aims at DK when the others do. snickers:: He’s uglier in person than in the pictures..

<FletchRyder> ::does likewise, gun leveled. hand even itching for a hand grenade::

<McGrath> <Facility Systems> :: begin to get shut down ::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat> This is pointless you know… Captain Korat. You may stop me, but you won’t stop my robotic army from destroying the city!

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::eyes widen a moment now at the facility’s shutting down:: What the…?

<StormcrowMerle> ::does the fire-furled-free-hand trick again, not having a gun::

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: recomposes himself :: <A change in my appearance. A minor inconvenience> :: taps into the computer, to start overiding Glitch’s changes, keeping the automated army online ::

<Josie_Lyons> <Cyrillic> ::charges up, electricity going up and around her black furred self, eyes glowing. attempts to send a shock of electricity at McGrath:: <Engines>::start up once again::

<JasonKorat> ::smirks at him::

<Glitch> ::tries to keep control and shut down things as Rilth restarts them frowning now. hopes Stormcrow takes care of Rilth soon::

<McGrath> <Rilth> A few reinforcements :: titls now silhouted head :: <Infantry Robots> :: several of them come marching up to the control area where everyone has congregated ::

<StormcrowMerle> ::gives a small cry as she sees the robots appear. No longer feels reassured about surviving this::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat> Just take care of it… ::growls at Rilth under his breath as he finally spins around in the chair to face the Megs, and now robots::

<McGrath> <Robots> :: march forward, firing weapons, none too accurately it would seem ::

<FletchRyder> ::ears twitch at the sound of doom behind them. turns his head to look behind them:: This.. worries me. ::immediately ducks down, looking for good cover::

<Glitch> <Tasha> Ack! :starts scrambling for cover! returns fire!::

<Glitch> ::starts trying to override Rilth’s control on the Robots and turn them off::

<JasonKorat> Crud! ::runs for cover, fires back!::

<Josie_Lyons> Kats alive! ::turns now to the firing robots! returning fire!:: <Dark Kat>::gah! arm grazed by one, stands quickly and gets behind that chair::

<StormcrowMerle> ::tries to get to cover as well::

<FletchRyder> ((<Megs> ::all immediately rush to get behind DK, as he’s the only thing big enough to cover them all::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((*dies*))

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: with the army back on track, extends his arm, causing it to sharpen to a point :: <Now, to deal with you> :: tracks Glitch’s movement ::

<Josie_Lyons> ((::DEAD!::))

<Glitch> ((::SOOOOOOOOODEAD!::))

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

<Glitch> ::notes him. tries to dart around inside the console enough to keep him from doing anything::

<StormcrowMerle> ::recalls the battle in the mall at Christmastime, and tries to fling small fireballs at the mouth of a robot’s weapon::

<McGrath> :: gets electrocuted, gnahses teeth, as he struggles to use his free hand to jerk the control stick to send the aircraft abruptly to the left ::

<Josie_Lyons> ::darts behind some equipment or another to reload. calls out:: NOW would be a good time to try and take down that Rilth guy, Merle!!

<McGrath> <Robots> :: several get blown up by their weapons upon LS’s attack ::

<FletchRyder> ::finds a random table/workstation, and flips it over, crouching behind it. checks his charge:: We’ll cover you!

<JasonKorat> Do it, Merle! :

<JasonKorat> ::runs out, fires at random robots::

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: causes other hand to turn achoehrent, and reaches into the console at just the right moment to grab her ::

<StormcrowMerle> ::encouraged by this development, keeps up the fight::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::stands and fires at some robots:: Go, Merle! Take him out!!

<StormcrowMerle> ::Wait, where is Rilth in relation to the group?::

<Josie_Lyons> <Cyrillic> ::jolted to the side, ceasing her shocking! nearly falls out backwards from the aircraft. goes acoherent again and zaps inside the jet again to try and regain control::

<StormcrowMerle> ::mun is lost::

<Glitch> ::issa grabbed. yelps as is grabbied!::

<McGrath> <Robot> :: approaches LS from the side, grabbing her by the shoulder ::

<Glitch> ::Rilth is in the same room with us. XD::

<StormcrowMerle> ::ah! Mun did not catch onto that, sorry!::

<FletchRyder> ::takes out a grenade, pulling the pin and letting it fly among the masses of robots between LS and the general Rilth area:: Fire in the hole!

<Glitch> ::tries to send a surge of energy towards him and knock him back off her::

<StormcrowMerle> ::starts to race at Rilth, but is grabbed by the robot. Sees Glitch in trouble::

<Josie_Lyons> ::reloaded, fires once again at robots to keep them away from Stormcrow::

<StormcrowMerle> ::gives a scream and throws a fireball into the robot’s “face”, or whatever looks vital::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat> ::setting up alternative commands just in case lol, keeping behind that chair to avoid fire and shrapnel::

<JasonKorat> ::looks over his shoulder, fires towards Dark Kat’s chair::

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: absorbs Glitch’s energy :: Your attempts are futile. You have no concept of the power you challenge :: draws back that deadly sharp-edged arm, preparing to deliver the final blow ::

<JasonKorat> :to get him out, that is::

<McGrath> <Robot> :: is decapitated by LS, releasing her and falling back ::

<McGrath> <Robots> :: several destroyed by that grenade, by are soon replaced by others. The situation is becoming more hopeless it seems ::

<Josie_Lyons> <chair>::is large and hassa metal backing. looks kinda like that one in Night of the Dark Kat in that sewer lair. need to move ’round to the side of DK to get a clean shot::

<StormcrowMerle> ::the instant is free, flashlines across the room, passed blown-up robots and whatnot, and reappears behind Rilth:: Let her go! ::snaps the blade out and tries to stabbeth him::

<Glitch> ::pancics. tries harder to get free of him. more trying to keep him distracted for LS than anything::

<JasonKorat> ;:growls, fires at more robots, then attempts to go after DK::

<Josie_Lyons> <Cyrillic>::shuts off the engines once more from within the controls of the jet::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::tackled or shot, Jasemun?::

<FletchRyder> ::desperate, pulls out two more grenades, chucking them in different areas of the closing robots. only has a few of these left::

<McGrath> This is getting redundant :: pulls out a long-looking chrome spike with several buttons on it. Jams it into the controls :: <Spike> :: lights blink as it sends an electrical charge into the jet, overloading its systems and sending various control panels all over its body exploding open, sending parts flying outward ::

<Glitch> ((<Jason>::runs and tries to tackle DK only to bounce off his flabby belly and into a nearby wall:: Owww….::twitch. slide down wall::))

<McGrath> <Robots> :: surround Jase and Dark Kat, weapons aimed :: <Robots> :: being to do so elsewhere ::

<Josie_Lyons> ::keeping Fletch ‘n Tasha’s backs from bots as they attack lol, glances at Jase over there::

<JasonKorat> :I shall attempt to tackle! And then hold a gun to his head:: Don’t. Move.

<Josie_Lyons> ((::diies!::))

<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD:))

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: abruptly notes something wrong, as he looks down to see the spike has gone through him, pointing through the front of him. Drops glitch ::

<Josie_Lyons> <DK>::hard to tackle down, nearly slams into the console though. notes the weapon and stays as he is:: This is futile, Korat. ::chuckles:: You’re surrounded, your agents are outnumbered.

<Glitch> ::notes she’s free. zaps away to another part of the consol and tries to shut down the robots now that Rilth has been stabbied::

<JasonKorat> Call them down or you’re dead.

<Glitch> <Tasha>::still firing at the oncoming robots:: Geez! They just keep coming!

<StormcrowMerle> ::freezes in fear as she realizes the blade doesn’t seem to be doing anything, to her view. Was expecting it to be instantaneous, like what she saw from the other end:: <Why isn’t it working?>

<Josie_Lyons> <Cyrillic>::erk! system effected too! zaps out of the controls again, on the floor of the jet, owchies! goes solid, KOed it seems as systems reset themselves::

<JasonKorat> CALL THEM DOWN!

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::laughs at him, turns to face him:: No.

<McGrath> <Rilth> :: silhouette soon lowers in opacity, and abruptly disappears from existance ::

<StormcrowMerle> ::stares at that:: <Or not.>

<JasonKorat> ::growls, clicks his gun::

<McGrath> <Robots> :: soon deactivate as Glitch disables the network. They drop their weapons, and fall over ::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::blinks. pauses in her firing: um…okay…..

<JasonKorat> ::notices this, then turns to give DK a smiiiiiiiiiiiiirk::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat> Is that supposed to scare me into following your orders? ::notes the robots and gasps, straightens:: Not again… RILTH?! ::glances around searching for Rilth::

<StormcrowMerle> ::slightly weak voice:: Rilth is gone, Dark Kat.

<FletchRyder> ::robots practically on top of him. falls onto his back, shooting up as his legs frantically push him sliding backwards. thinks he’s about to bite the big one with a robot right over him, gun poised, then is shocked as it suddenly falls over:: …

<Glitch> ::internal smile. zaps out in front of DK now::

<Josie_Lyons> Ryder! ::hurries over now, free of any oncoming fire and tries to help pry a bot or two offa Fletch::

<JasonKorat> ::keeps his gun planted against DK’s skull:: Hold still!

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat> ::sees LS… and now Glitch. scowls realizing what has happened and remains still::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::goes over to check on Stormcrow. puts a hand on her shoulder:: Miss Merle?You okay?

<StormcrowMerle> ::stares at the blade on her arm still:: I actually did it. I actually did. ::does the arm twist quickly to get the blade back in, then turns back to see the group::

<FletchRyder> I’m okay.. ::trying to shove the bulky bots off himself:: Is Dark Kat secured?

<StormcrowMerle> ::nods:: I’m fine. What about you? ::looking at the others::

<Josie_Lyons> ::nods:: Yes.

<Josie_Lyons> ::helping him out and up if he needs it::

<Glitch> ::stays watching DK. frowning:: You should be careful who you think are incompetent and worthless.

<Glitch> <Tasha> I’m fine. I think everyone is. Lets hope so anyway. Good job. ::smiles::

<McGrath> :: MEANWHILE… :: <McGrath> :: with Cyrillic down, and the jet now permanently disabled, goes over to her, hefting her up, and makes way to the ejector seat :: Not safe at all… :: staps him, and ejects with her ::

<StormcrowMerle> ::manages a smile::

<McGrath> ((straps in even))

<FletchRyder> ::helped up, checking himself for any holes. has some singed fur, but nothing major:: So, I take it we won.

<JasonKorat> You’re under arrest. You have the right to remain silent… and I’m sure you know the rest of the Miranda warning.

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat> And you should be careful of who’s lair you have entered… ::quickly slams a fist on a button on the console:: <computer console> Facility Self Destruct activated. Time of detonation in 30 seconds. 29. 28. 27…

<JasonKorat> ::eyes wide, looking up:: Crud…

<StormcrowMerle> ((<Dark Kat> Of course, and now I want to enforce that right and be provided with my large fruit-covered hat!))

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

<StormcrowMerle> ::gasps::

<JasonKorat> Everybody get out! This place is gonna blow!

<Glitch> ::eyes widen. frowns:: You will not win, Dark Kat. ::goes acoherant and zaps into the console again. starts trying to disable that self destruct or at least slow it down::

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL!))

<Glitch> <Tasha>::eyes widen:: Awww man…lets move! ::tries to usher Stormcrow out!::

<StormcrowMerle> Come on! ::hurries toward the door, trying to think if she can flashline her way out of the building::

<Josie_Lyons> Not if we’re blown to high heaven! C’mon!

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::stands there and laughs meniachally!… or however you spell that XDDD::

<FletchRyder> ::eyes widen as well, backpeddling towards the exit:: What’s she doing? ::referring to Glitch, seeing her jump in::

<StormcrowMerle> ::maniacally::

<JasonKorat> Glitch!

<Josie_Lyons> <Cyrillic>::taken and ejected!::

<StormcrowMerle> Tessie, hurry! ::as she does that herself::

<Josie_Lyons> <console> 19, 18, 17… ::highly incrypted this one was, a precaution DK took in case of cyberdemon betrayal::

<Glitch> ::frowns. zaps out and glares at DK a moment then hurries with the rest out of there!::

<FletchRyder> ((<McGrath> ::managed to find the one sarlac pit in the whole stinkin’ desert:: Well, this is just great.))

<StormcrowMerle> ((*DIES*))

<StormcrowMerle> ::runnity-runnity-runnity::

<Josie_Lyons> <Dark Kat>::as the others are fleeing, he makes way to secret entrance on nearby wall to vanish into the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. or into a hidden land craft that’ll jetteson his big flabby self outta there in time::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::fleees! heee! runs outside quickly! making way to the vehicles:: <Glitch>::making sure all are out just in case she has to zap some out of there::

<FletchRyder> ::shaking a tail feather, quickly catching up to those who had a bit of a lead, getting his keys ready::

<JasonKorat> ::runs into the jeep, putting the key into the ignition, hoping the others are getting out alright::

<Glitch> <Joe>::blinks as they start getting in. still holding Trina:: Whats the hurry? Something not go right?

<Josie_Lyons> <Cyrillic> ::comes online again as they’ve landed. eyes open and she turns to look towards McGrath, former orders in place by Rilth?::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::Gets in her car and starts it up. peels out of there. lol! getting away as quickly as possible.::

<Josie_Lyons> ::hops in Fletch’s car she does!:: Floor it!

<Glitch> ::gets in the car when she reaches it::

<StormcrowMerle> ::flings herself into the nearest car::

<FletchRyder> ::opens door, jamming the key into the ignition to start it.. with no success:: Oh… crud! ::tries again!:: C’mon, baby, c’mon!

<McGrath> <Rilth’s Orders> :: were enforced by his technology, which is no longer present ::

<Josie_Lyons> ::growls:: Why isn’t it starting?! ::slams fist onna dashboard lol::

<JasonKorat> Whole place is gonna blow.

<StormcrowMerle> <Bexa> ::still lost in the desert just outside the city at the moment XD How do things look to a bystander, invading-armywise?::

<Glitch> <Joe> Awww crud…::holds Trina tightly. ready just in case it blows before they get away::

<Josie_Lyons> <cyberdemons>::then as those orders are overridden, they fall back to contingency plans for the situation at hand. scatter and return to main HQ::

<JasonKorat> ::into the radio:: Is everyone out?!

<FletchRyder> ::car roars to life at her slam XD. looks absolutely shocked:: Lyons! You’re wonderful! ::throws them in reverse, not bothering to turn them around, and punches the accelerator, taking off backwards into the desert::

<JasonKorat> ::pauses as everyone goes:: Nevermind. ::slams foot into gas, roars outta there::

<Josie_Lyons> <console>4… 3… 2… 1… <base>::explosions sound inside lol::

<McGrath> <Desert Facility> :: then erupts into flame, collapsing in on itself in dramatic fahsion XD ::

<Glitch> ((<Fletch>::causeing complete chaos in the desert as he runs over catcus plants, shrubs and sends lizards fleeing for their lives::

<Josie_Lyons> ((::dies Fletch too::))

<Glitch> ((::DIIIES Fletch!::))

<FletchRyder> ((lol!))

<Glitch> <Tasha>::Cringes as it explodes. glances back behind her and grins:: WHOOO! Alright!

<Josie_Lyons> <Cyrillic>::will find nearest road and zap into its lines from there::

<Glitch> <Joe>::leans forward some at the explosions then turns and looks back at the ruins::

<Josie_Lyons> ::eyes widen seeing the explosion as they are driving backwards lol!::

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

<McGrath> :: leans back in ejector seat, sighs ::

<Glitch> ::looks back at the explosion, frowning some:: The creator most likely escaped.

<JasonKorat> :jerked forward a bit, the back window of his vehicle shattering::

<StormcrowMerle> ::looks back at the burnination and explodination, eyes wide::

<FletchRyder> ::mouth goes dry, slowing down a bit now that they’re out of the danger zone::

<JasonKorat> :::pulls his vehicle to a stop, looks behind them::

<Josie_Lyons> ((<Fletch>::still driving backwards. doesn’t hear Jase and the others call to watch out.:: <McGrath>::ran over by Fletch::

<FletchRyder> ((LOL!))

<JasonKorat> ((::DEAD!:)

<Josie_Lyons> You… mind turning this thing around now? ::asks quietly::

<StormcrowMerle> ::pulls up her sleeve and begins taking the blade-thingy off::

<JasonKorat> Good… kats… ::grabs radio, to the others:: Status report.

<Glitch> <Tasha> I’m all good here. ::radios in since she’s in a seperate car from Josie::

<FletchRyder> Huh? ::as if snapped out of a daze:: Oh, uh, yeah. ::stops them, shifts to drive, and starts driving the correct way::

<Glitch> ::looks at Stormcrow:: Thank you. You saved me back there.

<Josie_Lyons> ::takes up radio:: Lyons here, Ryder and I are okay.

<StormcrowMerle> Um . . . you’re welcome. ::not sure what to say, as has never been in such a situation before:: He didn’t hurt you?

<JasonKorat> McGrath, you alive?

<McGrath> <Enforcer Radio Band> :: crackles to life :: “…repeat, all invasion forces have shut down…”

<Glitch> Just scared me is all. I am quite alright and operating at normal efficiency.

<Josie_Lyons> ((brb!))

<JasonKorat> ((Kies!))

<StormcrowMerle> Thank the powers. ::looks down at the bladey:: What should I do with this now?

<Glitch> Perhaps give it to your superior officer? I believe the rules would state it would be evidence and should be given over to be processed in the case.

<StormcrowMerle> ::nods:: I’ll do that then, once we’re back at the Bureau. ::sighs:: I’d *like* to think I could just destroy it: after seeing what this kind of thing can do, I don’t want to see it again. But, that’s probably not an option.

<FletchRyder> ::hears the Enforcer band, and can’t help the genuinely rejoiceful smile spreading across his face:: We did it. ::can’t help it. starts honking his horn triumphantly, even though at this point it sounds terrible::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::spots the McGrath somewhere out there?::

<Josie_Lyons> ((backerz!))

<Glitch> ::nods:: most likely not.

<Glitch> ((WB!))

<FletchRyder> ((WB))

<Josie_Lyons> ((ty!))

<McGrath> ((<Fletch’s Horn> :: plays La cookeracha (sp) slightly more out of tune ::))

<FletchRyder> ((lol))

<Josie_Lyons> ::winces at that honking. sighs and shakes her head but smiles. leans against side of car, arm resting on the window there::

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL!!))

<Glitch> ((::snorts::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((*dies*!))

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

<StormcrowMerle> ((“cucaracha”, I believe))

<JasonKorat> ::sighs, leans into his chair, then looks at the rearview mirror: How is she? ::to Joe:: <Trina> ::is asleep, hasn’t lost much blood, but still::

<McGrath> :: standing not too far away from the burninating debris left over from the jet ::

<Glitch> <Joe> She woke up for a bit. She’s the one that thought up the water thing. I think she’ll be okay. Just a bullet to the leg is all. She’s not bled to much.

<Glitch> <Tasha>::pulls up out there then! rolls window down and smirks:: need a ride?

<FletchRyder> ::finds a road heading back towards MKC and takes it. his smile fading as they near what mun supposes to be a very war-torn scene::

<StormcrowMerle> <Bexa’s Van> ::probably somewhere amongst it all::

<JasonKorat> I’ll get us to a hospital. ::starts up car, drives off:::

<Glitch> <Joe>::nods:: good idea.

<Josie_Lyons> ::frowns as well seeing the scene of destruction:: … wonder how much they’ve ruined…

<McGrath> That depends on if it leads to a jail cell or not.

<Glitch> Well that I don’t know about quite yet. We’ll sort that out later. Right now we need to get back to town and see what all’s happened there.

<Glitch> ((^Tasha))

<JasonKorat> (And, I need to leave it here, guys. I gotta get up inna morning..))

<StormcrowMerle> ::looks out the window, gasps:: Is that . . . *Jeremy*?!

<Josie_Lyons> ((maw night Sagey! ::hugs::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((Goodnight!))

<FletchRyder> ::silent, driving slowly through the robot laden streets. sees a few small buildings completely demolished::

<Glitch> ((maww nights!))

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

<JasonKorat> ((Night guys! ::hugs::))

* JasonKorat has quit IRC (Quit: )

<McGrath> It may not matter :: says somewhat distantly, gets into the car ::

<Glitch> What do you mean? ::heads back towards town once he’s in::

<Glitch> ((^Tasha again darn it!))

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL! ::pats you::))

<Glitch> ::looks at Stormcrow:: who?

<McGrath> <Galactic Terminal> :: in orbit, hidden to cassual searching, starts to come to life ::

<Josie_Lyons> ::rolls window down. scowling now:: That sicko… ::nearly spits out::

<StormcrowMerle> ::shakes head quickly:: Jeremy’s not a “who”. “Jeremy” is what a friend of mine back home named the van he always drove. Jeremy the Nowhere Van.

<StormcrowMerle> I’d know that van anywhere. I helped decorate it when I was a kitten.

<McGrath> There’s another battle being fought right now for the very survival of this planet. This was only a distraction.

<FletchRyder> ::eventually gets them through the debris-ridden streets, and turns down the road that’ll take them to the MBI, unsure of what to expect::

<Glitch> ::blinks:: you named a van?

<Glitch> <Tasha> Um…okay…and what battle did we miss?

<StormcrowMerle> No, Bexa did. ::looking back in the direction they came:: You don’t think he could have come to the city?

<Glitch> Let us hope he did not. Or at least that he survived the attack if he did.

<McGrath> :: points at the sky, almost casually ::

<StormcrowMerle> ::nods to that::

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL <Bexa>::sings:: I rode through the desert in a van with a name, Jeremy crashed into several bots that looked the same… ::sings::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((*DIES*!))

<McGrath> <Galactic Terminal> :: activating far above, shining like a bright violet beacon, visible from below on the planet ::

<FletchRyder> ((lol!))

<Glitch> <Tasha>::glances out of her window and frowns:: oh wonderful….my day just got way better…

<Glitch> I’m sure he is alright. ::pats her shoulder::

<StormcrowMerle> <Jeremy> ::name is a reference to the movie “Yellow Submarine”, and Jeremy the Nowhere Man, but whatever::

<StormcrowMerle> ::smiles, then frowns:: What do you think that is? ::looking past Glitch out the window::

<McGrath> :: sits back in the seat :: It’s been handled.

<Glitch> ::peers out the window:: I do not know. I do not have any records of such an occurance.

<Glitch> <Tasha>::glances over at him:: What do you mean its been handled?

<FletchRyder> ::noticing something new in the sky, raising an eyebrow in puzzlement::

<StormcrowMerle> It’s kind of pretty . . . in a puzzling, slightly ominous sort of way . . .

<Josie_Lyons> ::blinks as she catches a light out of the corner of her eye:: … what is that?

<Glitch> Indeed. the color is rather billiant though a bit scary looking.

<FletchRyder> ::eyes narrow:: Reinforcements?

<Josie_Lyons> … Dark Kat’s or… those… Latifrons? ::gulps::

<McGrath> ((Anyone up to playing T-bone or razor?))

<FletchRyder> I have no idea. We’d better get back to HQ and regroup.

<Josie_Lyons> ((lol uh well Kris ‘n Sage are supposed to be them really, and I can’t play one alone))

<Glitch> ((can always say they took it out as planned and headed back to the hangar or something? I dunno. lol! I stink at playing the boys))

<StormcrowMerle> ((As do I, I’m afraid.))

<McGrath> ((I like CK’s idea XD ))

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL! well perhaps we’ll go that route then -g- ))

<Glitch> ((yay! can always have them reiterate their battle to the Megs later if needed.))

<Josie_Lyons> Good idea. ::nods at that:: It seems that the destruction has stopped this far into the city at least.

<McGrath> <Violet Light> :: just as soon dissipates with a shockwave of energy high above ::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::jumps some at alla that. peers up through her window:: What was that?!

<StormcrowMerle> . . . And now it’s gone again.

<StormcrowMerle> ::looks a bit pale::

<Glitch> ::cringes. looks up:: Oh dear…that did not look good…

<McGrath> <Turbokat> :: can no doubt be seen descending from above, afterburners sending it rocketing past ::

<McGrath> Like I said. It’s been handled.

<FletchRyder> ((<T-Bone> Wow! Those engine modifications really did speed things up exponentially! <Razor> No one even saw us save the day! <T-Bone> Wait.. if no one sees us saving the day.. then what’ll happen to our big endorsement with Kitty Kola? “The Kola of Justice and Kool”! <Razor> …))

<Glitch> <Tasha>::blinks. watches the Turbokat and smirks:: Well..thats comforting at least.

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

<StormcrowMerle> ((*dead*))

<Glitch> ((::DEAD!!!::))

<StormcrowMerle> ::watches::

<FletchRyder> ::blinks, seeing the shockwave and then the descending Turbokat:: Well, well, looks like the calvary arrived after all.

<Josie_Lyons> ::eyes widen at the lightshow! then notes what seems to be a superduper jet zooming out::

<Josie_Lyons> ((::diiiies!!::))

<Glitch> ::watches the Turbokat go by after the light effects:: The SWAT Kats. I was not aware they had any part of this.

<Glitch> <Tasha>::makes her way into town, doing as Fletch did, going around robots and such, making her way to the MBI::

<StormcrowMerle> Neither was I. But, if they’re around, I guess that’s a good sign?

<Glitch> I suppose so. It usually is.

<Josie_Lyons> Guess they have…

<FletchRyder> ::finally pulls up to the MBI, seeing it relatively intact?::

<Glitch> ((<MBI> ::as per tradition looks intact but as soon as the door is opened the building crumbles around it, leaving just the doors and door facing standing::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((*dies*))

<FletchRyder> ((lol))

<Josie_Lyons> ((::dies!!::))

<Josie_Lyons> ::let us say it is XD::

<Josie_Lyons> Least HQ is safe.

<Glitch> ::will say Jason dropped Glitch and Stormcrow off at the MBI and then took Trina to hospital. so we’s are still in the game, Stormcrow. XD gets out looking around:: Seems your building was spared.

<FletchRyder> I hope everyone still inside is too. ::parking in the regular lot, where there’s not much debris, and gets out. truly looking at his devestated car for the first time, and sighs::

<StormcrowMerle> ::nods:: Yeah, at least we can be grateful for that. ::looking around::

<McGrath> :: exits the car, looks around :: Still the same.

<Glitch> <Tasha>::makes it back as well. gets out and frowns at her own car:: Not everything is..::pats the hood then heads inside::

<Glitch> ::nods. going inside with the others::

<Josie_Lyons> ::gets back out of car and goes inside with Fletch. heads towards the front to see if the others are back yet::

<StormcrowMerle> ::still holding the bladey:: I need to drop this off somewhere.

<Josie_Lyons> ::reaches the others?::

<McGrath> :: walks over to LS ::

<Glitch> ::glances at McGrath as he comes over:: good to see you survived.

<StormcrowMerle> ::looks to McGrath as he approaches::

<Glitch> <Tasha>:;sure! goes up to Josie:: you guys alright?

<Josie_Lyons> Yes. You all? ::takes note:: Where’s the Captain and agent Korat?

<Glitch> <Tasha>::glances around:: I have no clue…

<Glitch> ::to Josie:: They took Agent Korat to the hospital as she was gunshot.

<FletchRyder> ::cellphone suddenly starts ringing, which is between his seat in the car. quickly opens door and retrieves it:: Hello? … Yeah, yeah, I know there was an invasion here, mother. Yes, I’m alright.. c’mon, don’t cr- ::sighs some, lowering voice::

<McGrath> I’ll take that.

<StormcrowMerle> Oh no! How was she?

<Josie_Lyons> Oh good. I hope she’ll be alright. ::then looks at McGrath:: Oh and nice to see YOU again, McGrath.

<StormcrowMerle> All right. ::hands it over quickly::

<Josie_Lyons> ::lol maw Fletch’s momma::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::smirks at Fletch. mawwww! shakes head::

<Glitch> She was just fine. She had only a wound to her leg. Agent Forge seemed to think she would be quite alright.

<StormcrowMerle> ::breathes a small sigh:: All right then.

<FletchRyder> Everything’s all right, but I’m needed right now. .. Yeah, I’ll call you when I can. ::smiles some:: You too. ::hangs up, clearing throat some and joins the others::

<Josie_Lyons> Merle no! Don’t give that thing back to him!

<StormcrowMerle> ::looks down the road:: I’m wondering if I should go and check back where I saw that van.

<StormcrowMerle> ::to Josie:: Why not?

<Josie_Lyons> I saw what that thing can do! McGrath’s a danger, as is anything he’s brought with him. ::scowling::

<Glitch> He is also one that knows how to work it. What if one of us accidentally hurts someone with it because we do not know how to operate it?

<StormcrowMerle> Agent Lyons, McGrath’s the one who *gave* me that thing, and showed me how to use it.

<Glitch> <Tasha>::Frowns:: It should be put away from anyone’s reach for now.

<FletchRyder> That thing should be locked up and thrown into the deepest, darkest corner of the planet we can find.

<McGrath> Feel free to put it out of anyone’s reach should you feel capable of doing so.

<Josie_Lyons> It should be destroyed is what it should be. I don’t care if he gave it to you either, Merle. ::looks at McGrath:: You have the right to remain silent, McGrath.

<StormcrowMerle> ::thinking:: If it’s such a danger, why can’t we just break it or something?

<FletchRyder> What’s that suppose to mean? ::to McGrath’s comment::

<Glitch> ::frowning. looking at them all:: Must we all be angry with one another? He just helped save our lives.

<Glitch> <Tasha> ::blinks at JOsie:: we’re arresting him?

<StormcrowMerle> ::nods in agreement with Glitch:: If it weren’t for McGrath, Spinner would have captured me long since.

<McGrath> I’m not a sedan, Agent Lyons. No need to try to destroy me.

<StormcrowMerle> ::raises an eyebrow at that::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::eyes widen at Mcgrath. can’t help but let out a lil snort at that::

<Josie_Lyons> He is still a criminal! ::huffs:: We don’t even know if he’s still working for someone else more dangerous than Spinner OR Dark Kat! He’s going to jail, I’m not letting him vanish again.

<StormcrowMerle> ::awkward:: Well, I do think we ought to get rid of this thing. What powers it?

<StormcrowMerle> ::trying to change the subject XD::

<Josie_Lyons> Besides… Captain Korat left ME in charge of my team, and seeing as you two ::points to LS and Glitch:: are civilians, neither of you get a say. ::pulls out cuffs and walks over to McGrath::

<Glitch> Actually, Agent Lyons, if not for the civilians you would not have a job. Civilian money pays your paychecks. ::stating as matter of fact::

<StormcrowMerle> But – <But I *do* work at the Bureau!> ::does not finish::

<McGrath> A synthetic quantum singularity powers it. You might have luck destroying it, and this entire city in the process :: doesn’t move ::

<StormcrowMerle> . . . Okay, never mind then.

<StormcrowMerle> ::holds the bladey at arm’s length now XD::

<Josie_Lyons> ::cuffs McGrath since he’s not moving:: Anything ELSE that’ll nuke us all in that coat of yours, McGrath?

<McGrath> Only if it enters your hands, Agent Lyons. :: doesn’t resist ::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::moves in to help search him:: Alright now…please stop this. Just..come along quietly and please…stay put this time.

<Glitch> ::blinks and looks at the device. frowns:: Please do not try to destroy that thing.

<Josie_Lyons> ::glares at him then attempts to tug McGrath along with Tasha if she comes down to the holding cells::

<StormcrowMerle> I don’t even want to *touch* it anymore!

<McGrath> :: is taken away ::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::helps take him away!:: You gonna be nice and let us search you again?

<Glitch> Nor would I. Perhaps you should hand it over to Agent Ryder to put away for now.

<FletchRyder> ::looks on, hesitant about taking this course of action:: Here, I’ll take it for now. ::holds out hands for the blade-thingy::

<StormcrowMerle> ((<LS> In fact, here! ::throws the blade at Glitch:: <Glitch> Gah! ::manages to catch:: I don’t want it! You take it! ::throws it at Josie:: <Josie> Why me?! You take it! ::throws it to Tasha:: <Tasha> ::etc. as a game of Hot Potato ensues:: <McGrath> ::runs away in the distraction::))

<McGrath> As luck would have it my calendar has become very open.

<Josie_Lyons> Then give it to Ryder to be put in evidence for now. ::calls back and reaches the cells:: He’s going to do more than that. ::takes up keys and unlocks one of the cells. uncuffs McGrath:: Take that coat off. Now.

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

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL!!!))

<FletchRyder> ((lol!))

<StormcrowMerle> ::nods:: Okay. Just, please be careful. ::gives the blade to Fletch::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::holds out hands to take the coat from McG if he’ll hand it over::

<McGrath> :: hesitates for a moment, as if considering, then takes it off, along with other items, depositing them into Forge’s hands ::

<FletchRyder> Yeah. I’ll do that. ::takes carefully and procedes to drop it off in the evidence locker, somewhat hidden away where no one could “accidentally” come upon it::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::takes those things, blinking:: geez..walking arsenal as always, arent you?

<Glitch> Perhaps you should go sit down. You look..stressed. ::to Stormcrow::

<Josie_Lyons> ::eyeing him, watching every movement that she possibly can. when he finally unloads everything to Tasha:: Forge. Desposit those things in evidence as well, and bring back a change of clothes for McGrath. Wouldn’t surprise me if he had some sort of cosmic… space… modulator… whatever in his shorts to use and bust out of here again.

<StormcrowMerle> . . . That might be a good idea. But I’m still wondering about that van.

<Glitch> ((<McGrath> No but my boxers do double as bullet proof armour and houses the new I-Pod in the waistband))

<StormcrowMerle> ((lol))

<Josie_Lyons> ((::DIIIES::))

<Josie_Lyons> ((The flea? -g-))

<Glitch> <Tasha>::nods:: Sure thing. ::heads to the evidence room/locker to put those things away and to get McGrath some clothes::

<Josie_Lyons> In the cell. ::to McGrath::

<Glitch> You should check it out if it worries you, but I would wait to see till after we get the all clear from your superiors.

<FletchRyder> ::runs into Tasha as he’s leaving the evidence locker:: That’s everything? ::noting all the strange gadgets she’s hauling::

<StormcrowMerle> That sounds like a good plan. ::heads inside, toward the breakroom:: You could come and get some food too, if you want.

<McGrath> :: enters the cell ::

<FletchRyder> ::suddenly, a shrill battle cry comes from behind the front desk, near LS and Glitch:: <Hertz> Gui! You’ll never take me alive! Or at least somewhat wounded! Actually, I’d like to surrender! ::as a small white flag is waved above the desk, and his loaded egg-beater is thrown out::

<StormcrowMerle> . . . . . . . . .

<StormcrowMerle> ::quickly hides her hands behind her back to keep from showing that they started to flame::

<Glitch> <Tasha> We think so. I’m getting him some clothes to change into just in case its not.

<Josie_Lyons> ::shuts the door and locks it. folds arms, looking in at McGrath:: I assume you’re fine and fully uninjured.

<Josie_Lyons> ((::dies Hertz!::))

<Glitch> ::jumps! forms a ball of energy in her hand then frowns and makes it disappear::

<McGrath> That’s a matter of opinion.

<FletchRyder> ::nods at that approvingly::

<StormcrowMerle> Have things been okay here, Agent Hertz?

<Glitch> <Tasha> you alright and unscathed? ::puts stuff away carefully. doesn’t wanna blow anything up. lol!::

<Josie_Lyons> ::looks heavenward then sighs:: Forget it. ::grumps::

<FletchRyder> <Hertz> ::recognizing the voice, slowly pokes head over edge of desk, which has a large bowl over it. has chocolate smeared over his face:: Ms. Merle? Is it really yoouhooo?! ::breaks down:: Oh, it was utter chaos! First the blasting, then the marching, then the “Roger, Roger!” I defended it as best I could!

<FletchRyder> Yeah, I’m okay. You?

<Glitch> <Tasha> I’m alright. Shaken up but alright. I’ll be even better once my guys back home tell me the dents in my car can be taken out. ::smirks. heads to a closet to get McG some clothes. guessing at his size::

<Glitch> ::looks at hertz oddly:: Why do you have chocolate on you?

<StormcrowMerle> Well, the place is still standing, so I’d say you did a pretty good job. Now that I’m back, though, I could take over the front desk. ::as it would give her a chance to sit down::

<FletchRyder> ::smirks some at that:: Heh, yeah, I’m going to need a complete overhaul on my bodywork. Not to mention how much damage interior suffered.

<FletchRyder> ((^the))

<Glitch> <Tasha> My interior will just need a cleaning I think. The outside has some dents and my paintjob is shot.

<FletchRyder> <Hertz> Chocolate? Oh! You silly girl, you must mean my camouflage paint! It helps me blend in with my surroundings and is lickably good for when I chew on my lip out of chronic anxiety.

<Glitch> ::blinks:: I was not aware chocolate could be used in such manner. I thought it only to eat.

<FletchRyder> <Hertz> Okay, good. ::to LS:: I’ll relinquish control of this sector, omega.. delta.. and, um, fall back to our breakroom position. Maybe I can hide in the oven. ::whimpers, and retreats::

<StormcrowMerle> Oh, don’t do that! The fight’s over. <I hope.>

<FletchRyder> <Hertz> ::too late. is in hiding. hope no one’s doing any cooking later in the day::

<StormcrowMerle> ::sighs::

<FletchRyder> That’s fortunate. Hopefully my insurance company will take care of most of the damages, but in this line of work, it’s difficult getting good coverage.

<Josie_Lyons> ((crud brb, kiddo fell outta bed again))

<Glitch> ((whu oh..))

<Glitch> He is a rather skiddish type.

<Glitch> <Tasha>::grins:: try racing for a living. My insurance premium is through the roof. You wanna join us in the holding cells? ::making a move to go there.::

<StormcrowMerle> ::goes to her seat behind the desk:: Feel free to go and get food, Tessie. Maybe you can keep Agent Hertz from cooking himself. ::slumps on the desk, unhappy over the most recent events, and not feeling much better realizing she ought to now come clean about everything to the Bureau folks::

<StormcrowMerle> ::nods:: Yeah. I still haven’t gotten used to it.

<StormcrowMerle> ((Yikes!))

<FletchRyder> ::smiles some at her comment, then nods, following her out::

<Josie_Lyons> ((back lol soon as I got to the door he stopped crying and climbed back into bed himself ::glad he’s doing that more::))

<Glitch> <Tasha>::goes down and hands Mcgrath his change of clothes:: here.

<Glitch> ((lol! mawwww WB!))

<Glitch> Do you desire anything to eat if I am going there then?

<StormcrowMerle> ::shakes head;: No thanks.

<StormcrowMerle> ((lol! Maw.))

<Glitch> Very well then. ::small smile. heads that way to the breakroom, going to get some food and drink::

<Josie_Lyons> ::pacing in front of the cell waiting on Tasha lol::

<FletchRyder> ::with her, enters cell block, scrutinizing him::

<McGrath> :: takes the clothes ::

<Glitch> <Tasha>::goes to step out of the room to give him some privacy to change::

<Josie_Lyons> ::stops pacing when they return.:: Ryder. You’re a tom. Keep an eye on him and collect his clothes when he’s through changing. ::goes out with Tasha::

<Josie_Lyons> Do NOT open the cell Either, pass them through the bars.

<FletchRyder> ::doesn’t leave the room. not the bashful sort:: Yes, ma’am.

<Glitch> <tasha>::steps out with Josie! waits!::

<Josie_Lyons> ::goes out in the hall now. leans against the wall and folds her arms::

<McGrath> :: changes, and slides older clothes through the cell bars ::

<Glitch> <Tasha> Maybe you should take a break, Lyons. Let yourself cool off before you strangle him.

<Josie_Lyons> ::looks at her:: I’m fine. And I’m not going to strangle him.

<FletchRyder> ::takes his clothes and steps back from the cell:: I know this isn’t much of a thanks, but you are a loose cannon of epic proportions.

<Glitch> <Tasha> If you say so…

<Josie_Lyons> I say so, Forge. ::looks at her challengingly:: Just seems I’m the only one here who hasn’t forgotten McGrath’s status before all of this crud started.

<Glitch> Hey..I didn’t forget. I just know how to forgive when someone saves my tail. ::challenging back. lol!::

<Glitch> ((^Tasha))

* Glitch is now known as Tasha_Forge

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL ::pats you::))

<Josie_Lyons> Saves your tail huh? Y’know, he could’ve saved a lot more than that, if he’d have quit playing games and tossing us scraps of hints to all of this.

<Tasha_Forge> I’m sure he had his reason if you would have given him a chance to explain.

<McGrath> You’re just doing your job. Just like me.

<Josie_Lyons> He also could have saved us without stealing from MASA, Puma-Dyne and wherever else he’s gone to.

<FletchRyder> ::tilts head to the side a bit at that:: Your job? Somehow, I find it hard to believe that some big bad organization has a reign over you.

<Tasha_Forge> Like I said..maybe you should ask him instead of just assume he’s a bad person..like you did my brother.

<Josie_Lyons> You can’t get anything out of McGrath! ::shouts at her then looks away:: I couldn’t help the facts I saw on your brother.

<McGrath> It’s usually the small, unassuming ones that have the greater effect.

<Tasha_Forge> ::mrrs:: Yeah but you can sure help that attitude of yours that you think you are better than everyone else just cause you follow the rules all the time.

<FletchRyder> Hmm. Enlightening. Well, if you promise not to escape for at least a few days, I’ll scrounge you up something to eat here pretty soon.

<Josie_Lyons> ::looks back at her again, pushes off the wall:: Look where NOT following the rules gets kats, Forge. ::turns now and opens door to holding cells to go inside::

<Tasha_Forge> Yeah..they get fired from the Enforcers and get to go beg for a job elsewhere. ::smirks at Josie and goes inside. ::

<FletchRyder> ::turns head at Josie’s sudden, hasty entrance, noting a not too pleasant look on her face. then hears traces of Tasha’s comment and frowns some::

<Josie_Lyons> ::pauses a moment, teeth gritted. then continues inside:: He have anything else on him? ::asks in an angry tone::

<FletchRyder> No.

<Josie_Lyons> Good. Put those in evidence too then.

<Josie_Lyons> ::nodding to McGrath’s clothing::

<Josie_Lyons> And take Forge with you. ::adds bitterly:: I’m keeping watch until the Captain or Director arrives.

<Tasha_Forge> ::crosses arms. leans against the wall. smirking still at josie. Knows she got on her nerves and rather likes it. lol! payback for her brother!::

<FletchRyder> I was just about to suggest just that. ::looks at Tasha and nods for the door, heading for it himself::

<Josie_Lyons> ::lol rar! -g- I internally razz you!::

<McGrath> :: makes way over to cot, lies down, facing up, arms underneath pillow. Closes eyes, and goes to sleep ::

<Tasha_Forge> ::I internally razz back! ha! goes out with fletch::

<FletchRyder> ::once they’re in the hall and headed for the evidence locker, speaks up:: What happened in the hall? ::still looking ahead::

<Josie_Lyons> ::pulls up a chair in front of McGrath’s cell. back to the cell, folds arms on back of chair::

<Josie_Lyons> ::back of chair to the cell that is lol she’s facing it::

<Tasha_Forge> She got pushy so I pushed back. our opinions on the situation were different.

<Josie_Lyons> ((<Josie>::every so often, pokes McGrath with a long stick to make sure he’s there and not another hologram::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((lol))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))

<McGrath> ((::snorks::))

<StormcrowMerle> ((And, I’m afraid I need bed.))

<Josie_Lyons> ((night LS! ::hug!::))

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

<McGrath> ((nights))

<Tasha_Forge> ((nights!))

<FletchRyder> Having an opinion is one thing, but carrying it so far as to egg her on further with uncalled for shots that are completely unrelated is another. ::enters evidence locker once more:: I’d think you’d both show a little more professionalism, especially in front of a prisoner.

<StormcrowMerle> ((Goodnight all!))

* StormcrowMerle has quit IRC (Quit: “It was an excellent movie. Hannibal and Clarice captured our hearts, and then ate our livers.” )

<Tasha_Forge> I’ll show professionalism when she stops acting like she’s above everyone. She thinks that her mistakes can be forgiven but someone else’s cannot. She won’t even try to talk to McGrath about why he led us on like he did for so long. I’m sure he probably has a reason if someone would ask.

<Josie_Lyons> ((<Tasha> It’s just McGrath, come on man. <Fletch> Tasha. ::stern:: <Tasha>::sighs:: Yes sir… <Fletch> Now, go write on the board “I will not egg on other agents.” a hundred times. <Tasha> What? <Fletch> You heard me. Go. ))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))

<FletchRyder> That’s what the formal interrogation will be for. Until then, we have to keep a leash on him. With the feats he’s capable of, we can’t afford letting him loose, even if he is the good guy. He knows too much to just let him walk away. As for Josie, all I can attribute her behavior to is trying to make up for past mistakes. She judges others harshly because she comes down on herself so hard.

<FletchRyder> At least, that’s as far as I can figure. ::putting clothes in a sack and dropping them off with his other equipment::

<FletchRyder> ((lol!))

<Tasha_Forge> Well she needs to back off of others. She’ll only manage to make enemies and tear apart good teams within our group if she keeps that up.

<FletchRyder> ::just shakes his head:: This isn’t a law agency, it’s a high school. ::leaves room::

<Josie_Lyons> ((LOL! Lots of places are like highschool. XD))

<Tasha_Forge> Yeah..and I hated high school. ::smirks. goes out after him::

<Tasha_Forge> (9lol! no joke))

<Tasha_Forge> Always had some kat that thought they were better than the others. Always drove me insane.
