<JasonKorat> ::returns from beating up plantimals::

<Tasha_Forge> ((jump in anywhere. you don’t have to ask)

<Tygris> ::walks down the hall towards his desk, carrying a box with all his important pictures and knicknacks

<Jenna_Clawson> ((sit back and see where people are placing their characters to judge on where to start if you’re not sure. ^_^))

<JasonKorat> ::comes into the breakroom, eyes blood shot, looking for coffee::

* Kutlass has joined #mbi_sk

<Tasha_Forge> ::blinks. notes him:: Morning, Captain.

<Jenna_Clawson> ::mun assumes that is where Jenna was put too… or she may have claimed the infirmary for herself XD::

<JasonKorat> ::hasn’t been able to go home and shower or shave, so is a little fuzzy on the face, too::

<Tasha_Forge> ((hey Kutlass! we just started so jump in!))

<Tygris> ((Too bad Fletch isn’t here, I wanted to give him that pizza I offered him))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((Hey Kutlass!))

<Kutlass> ((Hey, everyone! Sorry for lateness, soccer game ran over.))

<JasonKorat> ((Heys, Kutlass!))

* Jenna_Clawson sets mode: +o Kutlass

<JasonKorat> ((GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!))

<Tasha_Forge> ((he just showed up, Tygris.thats his mun XD))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::snorks Sagey::))

<Tygris> ((oh))

<JasonKorat> MorningForge… ::grab cup::

<FletchRyder> ((XD Sage))

<Tasha_Forge> Bad night? ::sips her own coffee. grabs a donut and munches::

<JasonKorat> ((::tries to hold it that long, passes out. XD::))

<Jenna_Clawson> ::puts on a cute lil’ red dress she was happy Hans got with other clothing. gold jewelry and a bit of perfume that won’t kill you this time. -g- red heels and then saunters over to Jase’s office to see if he ever came in knocks on his door::

<Jenna_Clawson> ::pouts that he’s not in lol::

<FletchRyder> ((::lets air out of soccer ball into Sage’s lungs to revive her::))

<Tasha_Forge> ((LOL!))

<JasonKorat> ((::DIES!!!::))

<Jenna_Clawson> ::will search for the Cappy-tan. goes down hallways::

<Tygris> ::Tygris places the small amount of Knicknacks he has on his desk, a picture of his father, another of his Mentor, and finally, his Name plates::

<JasonKorat> Too long. ::rubbing at his eyes:: Those things are everywhere. I haven’t seen my bed since… yesterday morning.

<JasonKorat> ::sups his coffee:: How’re you holding up?

<Jenna_Clawson> ::peeks in deskroom where Tygris just entered. clears throat:: Excuse me? ::says to Tygris::

<Tasha_Forge> ::shrugs:: Good I suppose. I’ve slept at least. Joe and I got some cots in the conference room if you wanna borrow one.

<Tygris> ::straightens at the voice, then looks towards a She-Kat dressed ENTIRELY in Red:: how can I help you miss?

<JasonKorat> You have no idea how tempting that sounds right now. ::smiles a bit::

<FletchRyder> ::is busy in the computer lab, typing up numerous reports and sorting what evidence they’ve got that connects to the UB3R case. looks like he’s been going at it for hours::

<Tasha_Forge> Go for it. ::smiles:: Joe’s still passed out in there. My bed is free if you want

<Jenna_Clawson> ::smiles at him:: Do you know if Captain Korat is in today yet? ::bats her lashes at him lol::

<JasonKorat> ::nods:: Thanks. ::sups his coffee again:: Anything new I should be aware of? Trina filled me in on some of it when we last talked, but…

<Tygris> ::Tygris takes the flirtation and thinks to himself that she would look better with more color variety, then ponders:: I just got in today ma’am, did you check his office? I can call him and ask if you’d like? what’s your name?

<Tasha_Forge> Only that your admirer is prowling the area. You should be warned. ::smirks:: Professor Clawson got bit too and is starting to show the same signs I did. I told her she should stay here for safety. You might wanna hide.

<FletchRyder> ((<Tasha> In a lockbox. <Jason> ::shivers:: Shoot, and all I have is this lunchbox.))

* McGrath has joined #mbi_sk

<McGrath> ((computer switch))

<JasonKorat> Ohhhhhhhh wonderful.

<Tygris> ((greetings McGrath))

<JasonKorat> ((DEAD!!!))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!:: <Tasha> ::a few minutes later, walks past Jenna whistling innocently with a lunchbox with superkat on the front XD::))

<JasonKorat> ((WB!))

* _Matt_ sets mode: +o McGrath

<Jenna_Clawson> I checked his office yes. ::smiles and goes into the room now and over to stand where he is:: But he wasn’t there. I’d appreciate it if you would. ::holds out hand:: I’m Professor Clawson.

<FletchRyder> ((Hey, Matt!))

* _Matt_ is now known as log_recorder

<Tasha_Forge> (WB? welcome? hi!))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((WB!))

<JasonKorat> I don’t think she’s too thrilled with me.

<JasonKorat> At least, that’s what I hope…

<Tasha_Forge> Oh? what did you do this time? ::sips coffee::

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::busts up::))

<McGrath> ((ty))

<Tygris> ::Tygris reaches into his Jacket pocket, then pulls out his phone and calls Captain Korat::

<Jenna_Clawson> ((<Jase> I said she was sorta pretty. Apparently she gets mad if one doesn’t say she’s “breathtakingly gorgeous”. ::sighs::))

<JasonKorat> ((DEAD!!!))

<Tygris> ::Shakes her hand and says:: Nice to meet you, my name is Agent Tygris Makenzy

<JasonKorat> I didn’t do anything. I just dropped her off at the hospital and left…

<FletchRyder> ((::Dead::))

<JasonKorat> ::pulls out his celphone and answers:: This is Korat.

<Jenna_Clawson> ::smiles:: Nice to meet you as well, Tygris.

<Tasha_Forge> ::snickers, then munches her donut while he’s on the phone::

<Tygris> yes, Captain Korat, I have a Professor Clawson at the front desk area looking for you, where should I direct her?

<JasonKorat> ::cringes, then just sighs:: My office is fine. I’ll be right there.

<Jenna_Clawson> ((<Jase> To Siberia.))

<JasonKorat> ((:SOOOOOOODEAD!!!::))

<Tasha_Forge> ::snickers. figures what that is::

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIIES!::))

<Tygris> ::hears the cringe, then wonders:: Sir, you sound a little tense, is something the matter?

<FletchRyder> ((lol! <Jason> Please direct Prof. Clawson to the basement. <Tygris> But.. isn’t Hertz down there “practicing” on the shooting range? <Jason> ::evil cackle:: Just do it!))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::DEAD::))

<Tasha_Forge> ((:SOOODEAD!::))

<Tygris> ((at the shooting range? so that means he finally used those prison cell keys I gave him?))

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

<Jenna_Clawson> ((LOL! either that or maybe the door wasn’t locked like he thought the whole time. -g-))

<JasonKorat> I’m just tired. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll be right there.

<JasonKorat> ::hangs up::

<FletchRyder> ((XD))

<Tasha_Forge> That her? ::Grins::

<JasonKorat> I’ll see you later, Tasha. Tell Trina I tolerated her if I don’t come back.

<JasonKorat> ::as opposed to “I loved her” XD::

<Jenna_Clawson> WELL? ::puts hands on hips looking at him::

<Tygris> ::Puts away his phone, then looks towards Professor Clawson:: He told me to direct you to his office Professor Clawson

<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: Okay. ::waves at him::

<JasonKorat> ::waves back, goes to his office witha sigh::

<Jenna_Clawson> Oh THANK you very much! Hope to see you around further. An agent with some sense! ::tries to clap a hand on his arm and due to her super strength, that may send the poor tom halfway across the room lol::

<McGrath> FletchRyder

<Jenna_Clawson> ((<Josie> Your turn to die now, Fletch. It’s the MoDaD calling.))

<McGrath> ((another random blarb :) ))

<FletchRyder> ::yeees?:: ((lol!!))

<Tygris> ::waits until Professor Clawson walks down the hall towards Captain Korat’s office, then pulls out his phone and calls Agent Ryder::

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

<Tasha_Forge> ((There’s that almighty MoDaD speaking again!))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::Dying!:))

<JasonKorat> ::goes into his office and lies down on his couch, putting a pillow over his face upon draining all his coffee:

<Tasha_Forge> ::shakes head. goes and refills coffee, then sits again to enjoy the quiet for a moment::

<FletchRyder> ::finishing up a sentence, when he’s broken from concentrating on the screen by his phone. saves the document and quickly fumbles around in his pocket and retrieves his phone:: Fletch here.

<Jenna_Clawson> ::goes down hall and to Jase’s office again. knocks on door, the third knock busts her whole fist in:: Whoops! Eh heh… stupid uber strength… >.<

<JasonKorat> ::puts a hand up waving it off:: S’fine. ::mumbled from his pillow::

<JasonKorat> Just dont’ try to hug me or anything.

<McGrath> ((<Fletch> :: minimizes the solitaire window quickly, and in anger :: I’m gonna win someday…))

<Tasha_Forge> (((::DIIIIIIES!::))

<JasonKorat> ((DEAD!))

<Tygris> Agent Ryder, I need to ask if you can send a background check file to my laptop at my desk, I just directed a Professor Clawson to Captain Korat’s office, and she seemed a little strange to me, also she nearly sheared my arm in half!!

<FletchRyder> ((::Dies!!:: <Fletch> Just as soon as I stop hitting all those mines…!))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((LOL!!))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DEAD!:: <Tasha> Mines? In Solitaire? <Fletch> Its the MoDaD version. <Tasha> Ahhh))

<Jenna_Clawson> ::pulls hand out of door and enters Jase’s office.:: I wasn’t sure if anyone had informed you of my situation or not, so I came toinform you now.

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::dead!::))

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

<JasonKorat> I heard.

<JasonKorat> ::not moving from his spot. XD::

<FletchRyder> Oh. ::puts hand over eyes at mention of her:: No, no, she’s.. okay. She’s just suffering from the same plantimal bite as Agent Forge. You’ll be seeing her around here alot more, actually, because of it.

* McGrath is now known as Warden

<Warden> :: calls the MBI ::

<Jenna_Clawson> … and your concern is so comforting. ::slams door now after herself… sending it off the frame and into the hall XD::

<Tygris> Are you sure, I was getting the strange feeling that she isn’t right in the head

<Warden> <Door> :: slides dwon the hall, crashing into a potted plant, knocking it over and spilling potted dirt all over the floor ::

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::dies:: <Fletch> Let me clue you in, Mackenzy… I’m the only soul in this place who’s fully right in the head.))

<Tygris> ::Picks up the reception phone with the other hand:: Megakat Beaureau of Investigation, Agent Makenzy speaking, how may I help you?

<Tasha_Forge> ((::SOOOOOOODEAD!:: Fletch> Everyone knows Jenna ai’nt right in the head..))

<FletchRyder> ((LOL))

<LadyStormcrow> ((back, and %$%^$#@()* ticked off at the pizza people.))

<JasonKorat> ::siiiiiiighs, sits up and goes after her before she brings the whole place down:: Claws… erm… Jenna…

<Tasha_Forge> ((oh dear….what happened LS?))

<JasonKorat> ((WB! :hugs::))

<FletchRyder> She’s a little.. different. We’re not here to judge her, Agent, just to protect her for now and get her back to her normal self.

<Warden> Yes, this is warden :: insert new warden’s name, I forgot it XD :: at Megakat Springs Penetentiary.

<Jenna_Clawson> ((<LS> They said they DO NOT put gummi worms on pizza! I mean come ON what kind of delievery place is that?))

<FletchRyder> ((Yikes, WB))

<Tygris> if you say so sir, i’ll have to call you back, ::Hangs up cellphone

<Tygris> yes Warden, how can I help you?

<Tasha_Forge> (::DIIES!::))

<LadyStormcrow> ((There’s a concert going on in the same building, so the employees are dancing around and not paying attention. They left my first pizza in until I asked why it was taking so long, by which time it was burned beyond edibility, and then they made a really sloppy second one, which I took just because I was sick of waiting and needed to bring drinks back to my sick friend.))

<JasonKorat> ((Aiy!))

<LadyStormcrow> ((lol))

<FletchRyder> ::puts away phone, sighing some. rubs at one of his eyes before gluing them back to the monitor and resuming his work::

<Tasha_Forge> ((oy…I’d beat ‘em.))

<Warden> Yes, we have an inmate here that your agency has asked us to keep you informed of. A John Doe, I believe. :: pauses :: I’m afraid that he’s dead.

<LadyStormcrow> ((So what’s happening?))

<Jenna_Clawson> ::goes over to sit next to him on the sofa:: I understand that it is in my supposed best intrest to stay here, however I hope you know this is all your fault.

<Tygris> Ok, I’ll be right there Warden, make sure noone touches the body until I have time to examine it, along with the Megakat Forensics team, once I ok it

<Warden> ((<Jenna> You were too indecisive, forcing me to pick the restaurant at a moment’s notice! <Jase> … ))

<JasonKorat> :arches a brow, too tired too look shocked or exasperated:: My fault.

<Tasha_Forge> ((Tasha in the breakroom, Fletch in the compy room, Tygris on the phone with the warder, and Jenna in Jase’s office being annoying))

* LadyStormcrow is now known as StormcrowSelkirk

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::well, for want of knowing what to do, heads into work and goes to sit at the front desk::

<Tygris> ::Looks up from the Reception desk phone:: Miss Selkirk, it’s nice to see you again

<Warden> I’m afraid that won’t be possible. You see…. he was assigned to a gem mining detail, and there was a cave-in. It took some time, but once they got to him, well, there wasn’t much left.

<Jenna_Clawson> Yes, your fault, I’m glad you agree! ::smiles, leans back on sofa:: And seeing as it was your fault that I’m in this condition, the money I’ll be loosing on missing work will be added to your tab.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::or not! Smiles to Tygris:: Nice to see you too, Agent Makenzy. May I ask who’s on the phone? ::goes and stands leaning against the desk. Wants her chair back! XD::

<Tygris> ::Thinks to himself:: I’ll be over anyways to take a look at whats left, just to make sure that there isn’t a risk of danger to your searchers

<JasonKorat> Now that just sounds a little cruel, dont’ you think? You’re the one who picked the restaurant.

<Jenna_Clawson> But it is YOUR job ::sits up, pokes him in the chest with a finger:: to protect me from things like that!

<Warden> That’s really not neccesary. Local authorities have already taken care of it. This is more of a courtesy call, to be honest.

<Tasha_Forge> ::Decides to finally go and shower and change into some civvis. gonna take it easy for now!::

<Tygris> it’s the Warden from the Megakat Springs Penitentary, apparently a John Doe we were monitoring has turned up dead, I’m heading out to the scene with the Megakat Forensics team to examine the scene, but apparently, the authorities have handled it. ::hangs up phone, gives back her chair, then heads back to organize his desk::

<FletchRyder> Done. Finally. ::muttering to self, as he saves everything and then prints out some copies to file away::

<JasonKorat> And, you think I knew that Viper had those things on hte loose?

<Jenna_Clawson> I recall you recieving a fax before we left… concerning him. ::glares::

<Tygris> ::Takes out his phone and Calls Agent Ryder::

<StormcrowSelkirk> Oh . . . ::then puts a hand to her mouth to stifle a gasp, as she wonders if the John Doe is someone familiar. Only thinks of it because of the unknown thing. Retakes her seat::

<Tasha_Forge> ((<Warden> He…hung up on me? ::calls back! will prank call from now on in revenge!::))

<FletchRyder> ::as he gathers the printed pages, takes out his phone yet again:: Fletch here.

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::dead!::))

<Warden> :: hangs up the phone on his end :: Well, that was easy enough. :: slides some paperwork into a drawer and locks it. ::

<JasonKorat> And, it didn’t mention anything about those things being on the l… ::beat:: Wait. How did you know about what that fax said?

<Tygris> Agent Ryder, this is Agent Makenzy, apparently we just received a call from the Megakat Springs Penitentary saying that some John Doe we were monitoring has turned up dead, I was just letting you know

<FletchRyder> ((::Dies!:: <Warden> No repercussions? Swell! ::as McGrath goes Chaos into Crystal behind him::))

<Tasha_Forge> ::in due time, exits in some jeans, brown boots and white tank top. hair pulled up. peeks around a moment then heads up to the roof. wants some fresh air!::

* Warden is now known as Felina_Feral

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

<Felina_Feral> :: calls up the MBI ::

<Jenna_Clawson> Hmm? Er ::slight blush, nervous laugh and waves hand at him in dismissal:: oh it was just… there and while you were changing I took a small peek, that’s all… ::turns to look at him:: is that so WRONG?

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::picks up the phone:: Megakat Bureau of Investigation.

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::DIES Fletch!::))

<JasonKorat> Yes. It’s private property that you’re not supposed to look at.::arms crossed::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((lol))

<Felina_Feral> Ths is Lt. Feral. I’d like to speak with one of your investigators.

<Jenna_Clawson> Oooh so what, you going to arrest me now? ::smirks at him::

<FletchRyder> ::eyes widen in shock:: What?! ::almost growling, talking mainly to himself:: Paw dangit, they must’ve monitored everything he told us, figured out how he got the information.. Makenzy, report this to the Captain immediately.

<Tygris> ::Tygris hangs up the phone and finishes up with his desk::

<Tygris> ((ooops))

<Tygris> yes sir

<Tygris> ::Hangs up phone, calls captain Korat::

<StormcrowSelkirk> Oh, of course. I’ll fetch one right away.

<JasonKorat> I am so not in the mood for this. ::then grumbles, grabs his celphone: This is Korat.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::is the reception phone corded or cordless?::

<JasonKorat> ((up to the person who answered, LS. XD))

<Tygris> Captain Korat, I just took a phone call from the Warden at Megakat Springs Penitentary, apparently a John Doe that we were monitoring there has turned up dead

<Felina_Feral> ((<LS> :: yanks the cord out of the wall ;; It’s cordless now ))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::um, okay then. Takes the cordless!phone with her and goes to look for agents::

<Tygris> ((I’ll take it after I finish with Captain Korat LS))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((LOL LS!))

<FletchRyder> ::gathering the last of his papers, somewhat seething at how far this is going. walks out into the hall with the papers::

<Tygris> ((I’m still in the room with you))

<FletchRyder> ((lol!!))

<JasonKorat> ::eyes wide:: WHAT?! ::well, that woke him up::

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::)

<Felina_Feral> ((<Felina> :: after some time, hearing nothing but scuffling, vague conversations and random noise in the BG :: This hold music sucks… ))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::mun thought Tygris went back to his desk?::

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DEAD!::))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::DIES::))

<FletchRyder> ((::Dies!!::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<Tasha_Forge> ((you don’t have to do everything, Tygrismun. Thats why there are lots of other agents here to help out ;D))

<Tygris> ((Forget the desk part, I messed up while waiting for Agent Ryder))

<Tygris> ((I know, but I’m in the same room still))

<Jenna_Clawson> ::blinks at Jase’s exclamation. looks at him curiously now::

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::is there if you need an agent, LS::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::Where be Trina? Would prefer to talk to her, since she’s senior and Lt. Feral is a big deal in LS’s mind::

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::At her desk, yes::

<Tygris> is there something the matter Captain Korat?

<JasonKorat> Dead?! How? Did the Warden specify?!

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::ducks back through the door into the deskroom, spieth Trina. Tygris is welcome to join in too:: Agent Korat? ::holds up the phone:: It’s Lt. Feral from the Enforcers.

<Jenna_Clawson> ::ooh who’s dead! wishes it was Viper lol::

<Felina_Feral> ((<Tygris> Why are you so upset? <Jase> :: grabs Tygris by the collar :: HE OWED ME $50! ))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

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

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::blinks: Patch it through. ::piks up the phone:

<JasonKorat> ((DEAD!))

<Felina_Feral> ((<LS> :: sighs, took that phone for nothing XD ::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::just gives her the phone she brought from the front. Mun is now very confused; thought only the front desk had a phone. So all desks have them?::

<Tygris> apparently according to the Warden, there was a cave-in of some sort, and there wasn’t much of him left when they found him, and I was going to head out to the scene, but apparently the Enforcers are there, and I was going to inform you and Agent Ryder to get Permission to investigate

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

<FletchRyder> ::coming into the desk area, making a bee-line for the filing cabinets. notes what LS tells Trina, and cocks and eyebrow::

<JasonKorat> Permission granted. I want a full report, Makenzy.

<JasonKorat> <Trina> This is Agent Korat. ::once she picks up the phone::

<Tygris> Affirmative sir, I’ll head out to the scene as soon as possible ::Hangs up his phone, and takes out his Service pistol from a desk drawer and heads out to the vehicle lot

<Felina_Feral> This is Lt. Feral. We’ve recently uncovered some information regarding Dr. Viper that I think you should have. If you give me your email address I can send it to you.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::listens in at the door::

<Tygris> ::after strapping the pistol to his leg of course::

<JasonKorat> ::hangs up, lies back against the sofa again:: Uuuuuuugh.

<Jenna_Clawson> ((Well, I have no idea why Tygris is phoning people when everyone is in the same building as he is, but yes, all the desks have phones on them as they would in regular police stations when you want to reach an individual agent.))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((they all have extentions though, only the front desk and maybe Jase’s ring when someone calls the main line))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::ah, okay then::

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::blinks:: It’s koratk@mbi.mk.gov

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::all rights. Just wanted to be sure::

<Felina_Feral> ((I know the feeling about phoning. I used to work in a place where that was ordinary, even though everyone was in shouting distance, we used site to site telephone calls. ))

<Tygris> ((I’m doing that, because Ty doesn’t know which room they are in, and it’s faster than jogging down the hall to talk to them in person, i’m acting like this is a FBI building,sort of))

<JasonKorat> ((We do that at work, too))

<Tasha_Forge> ((we just used radios to radio our rangers ;D thats why they got radios is to save a phonecall))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::do you mean radioing them? Mun thinks all agents carry radios, unless is mistaken once again::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::ah!::

<Felina_Feral> ((Office

<Felina_Feral> ))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((LOL! I wish I could call PK’s office directly using his extension, but always have to go through the front desk there still.))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::is not an agent, so has no radio::

<Tygris> ((I thought we all had Cellphones,not radios :I))

<Tasha_Forge> ((the front desk would have one, LS. Usually there is a base unit located there))

<Tasha_Forge> ((nuuuu…I’d hate to get that cellphone bill. lol!))

<Felina_Feral> ((Office’s like to have fully networked phone systems, usually ones suppllied with pieces of crud 3COM NBX’s that break every other day))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::perhaps, but does not take it. Doesn’t consider it for her personal use XD::

<JasonKorat> ((Hey, whatever floats your boat, guys. ;D))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::nods CK:: Yeah they have those for the office folk and supervisors at PK’s work. LOL Half the time I call they have to see if he’s even in his office by paging him that way with the fancy walkie talkie XD ::keeps wanting to say “can you hear me now? good! pick up milk on the way home!”::))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::SOOOOOODEAD!::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<FletchRyder> ((<LS> ::gets one of those old-fashioned radios that she has to crank to receive badly staticy transmissions::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dies*))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::dies Fletch::))

<FletchRyder> ((lol))

<Felina_Feral> ((<Jason> :: calls a meeting :: Okay, I’m going to explain the phone system :: holds up a very complicated looking telephony device :: Ooookay… :: scratches head :: Actually, let’s just shout at one another. ))

<Tygris> (( <Tygris> shows up at the Enforcer building “Yeah I have a package for Commander Feral” Feral Signs it, then Tygris runs off, “Thanks for agreeing to pay the phone bill for this year commander”))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DEAD!:: my fave was the call in from one of our rangers <Steve> 104 to park. I’m 10-20 at 2:05pm <me> O_o waaaaaa?))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

<Jenna_Clawson> ::anywho XD looks at him:: What’s the matter…? Who died? Or… is that “classified”?

<FletchRyder> ((lol!!))

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::laughs y’all::))

<Tasha_Forge> ::anyway! issa up on the roof. leaning against the side peering over. pondering stuffage!::

<Tygris> :;Ty heads out to his car in the vehicle lot, enters and drives off towards the Penitentary::

<JasonKorat> ::gives her “the look” XD::

<Jenna_Clawson> <chopper>::why for are you scared of me? love the chopper. it amz good::

<Felina_Feral> :: sends her a file :: I just sent you a video file from our security system that was just recovered today. we’ve been in the midst of repairs after Dark Kat’s attack, so things like this haven’t been discovered until now.

<JasonKorat> >Trina> ::checks mail:: Got it. ::motions to Ryder if he wants to take a look::

<Jenna_Clawson> ((<Trina> I didn’t get one… oh wait, I’m still in my personal email, ladysage@cantbymeluv.com ))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dies*))

<Tasha_Forge> ::who, me? I skeered cause you go *CRASH!* and *BOOOOM!* and I go *DEAD!*::

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::returns to the front desk, her task done::

<Tasha_Forge> ((::SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODEAD!LADYSAGE!::))

<FletchRyder> ::doesn’t hesitate. sets the remaining papers on top of the filing cabinet and leans over Trina’s shoulder:: What’ve you got?

<Jenna_Clawson> ::is that the “I want you to kiss me!” look or the “you are grating on my NERVES fo reven asking” look? XD:: What? ::smiiiiiles::

<JasonKorat> ((Okay, Tasha, how many people know about that article? ::needs to find “Lady Sage” and kill her::))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((What article?))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::SOOOODEAD!:: only Kris and Fel fel! I swear!….and JOsh…..XD))

<JasonKorat> ((:headdesk. XD::))

<Tygris> ::Arrives at the Prison, leaves car, and heads into the building, arriving at the Warden’s office, knocking on the door::

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::cackles:: The whole room may now… -g-))

<Tasha_Forge> (I can post it for our viewing audience if you like. ^_^))

<JasonKorat> <Trina> Lt. Feral sent this over. ::clicks on the play button!::

<Felina_Feral> Once you view it, let me know if you’ve seen these guys anywhere before. :: waits for Trina to view ::

<Jenna_Clawson> ((<Tygris>::walking tall, carrying his beatin’ 2×4::))

<JasonKorat> >Trina> I’m viewing it right now. ::what does she seeeee?::

<FletchRyder> ::watches screen intently::

<JasonKorat> ::is more of the “I’m annoyed, and please dont’ kiss me” look. XD::

<Felina_Feral> <Video> :: shows the main hallway of an Enforcer Holding Cell Block. Camera shakes every so often as Enforcers run back and forth whilst the building was under Dark Kat’s attack. Soon the area clears of all Enforcers ::

<Tygris> ((neah, I left the 2X4 in the car, started scaring too many people seeing a 6 foot tall tiger carrying around a 2X4))

<Jenna_Clawson> I suppose you want me out of your fur now, hmmm?

<Felina_Feral> <Video> :: then shows an explosion at the far end of the hall, which has opened a hole in the wall, allowing several black clad kats to swarm in and make their way to Dr. Viper’s cell. Soon after the camera goes to static ::

<Tygris> ::hearing no answer at the Warden’s door, TJ pauses, then speaks into the door:: Warden? are you there? this is Agent Makenzy from the MBI

<Felina_Feral> Have you seen anything like that before?

<Felina_Feral> <Warden>:: approaches from down the hall, accompanied on either side by security guards :: You lookin’ for me, son?

<FletchRyder> ::eyes narrow:: Those kats almost look like that one we chased out of the apartment trying to clean up evidence.

<JasonKorat> ::dry laugh:: At this point, I don’t care.

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::looks to Fletch, eyes fly wide:: I have a feeling we may have a connection, Feral… and an alliance.

<Felina_Feral> An alliance?

<Tygris> ::Ty turns towards the Warden and holds out his hand:: Warden, I’m Agent Makenzy with the MBI, we spoke on the phone. I was assigned by Captain Korat to investigate the scene of John Doe’s death, and make a full report of what I find. Can you direct me to the scene?

<Jenna_Clawson> ::quirks brow at this:: … then I suppose I’ll take my leave. ::stands now, smooths down her skirt:: You’re one real mental case, you know that, Jase? Your mother must’ve done a number on you. ::turns now, goes to door and into hall::

<JasonKorat> <Trina> I have this feeling, but I need to verify that it’s true. I’ll contact you as soon as I can.

<StormcrowSelkirk> ::still at the front desk, no longer listening::

<Felina_Feral> <Warden> :: frowns :: That situation has already been handled.

<Felina_Feral> ((<LS> I’m not listening! :: puts fingers in her ears :: la la la la la la… ))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((LOL))

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

<Felina_Feral> Please do. :; hangs up ::

<Tygris> I’m aware of that sir, but I have my orders, could you please direct me? or I suppose I can find it myself, either way, I’m not going back without a report

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::hangs up::

<FletchRyder> ((lol!))

<JasonKorat> I dunno. She was pretty proud of the way I turned out.

<Felina_Feral> <Warden> We’re a bit busy at the moment, but if you must, he’ll lead you to the mine. :: <Security Guard> :: steps foward :: This way :: walks down the hall ::

<JasonKorat> <Trina> ::looks to Ryder:: So what do you think? Can I rule in that Dark Kat and Viper are in cahoots?

<Jenna_Clawson> ::smirks back at him over her shoulder, then goes down the hall. heading back to the infirmary and sighs. glances at a clock on the way there. needs to make a phone call… and explain why a deal isn’t going down tonight, if Tasha mun up for playin’ mista Tony balony XD::

<Tygris> ::follows Security Guard to the mine, and sees that sure enough, the Enforcers are still looking over the cave-in. he then walks up to one of them and asks to be lead to his superior in charge of the Enforcers investigation::

<Tasha_Forge> <Tony>::sure thing toots! call me up babe!:

<FletchRyder> Well, I was thinking more like the Defense Center instead of Dark Kat. He had his claws busy as it was with the invasion, and I don’t think he’d give a kat’s tail about Viper.

<Felina_Feral> ((<Dark Kat> Viper? He smells like a hamster cage half the time. He’d funk the place up, and not in a good way. ))

<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dies*))

<JasonKorat> <Trina> Maybe, but those did look like his henchmen. And for all we know, the Defence Center might be helping.

<Jenna_Clawson> ::reaches infirmary. digs in purse and takes out her cell phone. turns it on now, then peeks in hall. makes sure there’s no one about, sneaks out and hurries along towards the back exit::

<Jenna_Clawson> ((::dies!::))

<FletchRyder> ((::Dead!::))

<Tasha_Forge> ((::SOOOODEAD!:::))

<JasonKorat> ::smirks, then calls Annie and leaves her a message if she doesn’t pick up, apologizing for not calling and that he hopes to see her soon. For now, he’s gonna crash for a few::

<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIIIES!::))

<FletchRyder> Oh, I’m sure the Defense Center is helping plenty. ::standing up fully, crossing arms:: Have you heard about our John Doe over at Megakat Springs? The one who leaked us all this information about Viper and the project in the first place?

<Jenna_Clawson> ::reaches outside, dials up numbah to teh Tony! walking down the sidewalk away from the MBI quickly, glancing around to be sure no one’s following her::

<TrinaKorat> <Trina> ::frowns:: Dare I ask?

<FletchRyder> He’s dead.

<TrinaKorat> What? ::shocked whisper::

<Tasha_Forge> <Tony>::answers!:: Talk to me.

<Enforcer> :: walks up to Tygris :: I’m in charge.

<FletchRyder> I didn’t get the details from Agent Makenzy, but apparently it happened just today.

<TrinaKorat> <Trina> Great. ::rubs at her eyes::

<Jenna_Clawson> Hey there, Tony… eh heh, it’s me, Clawson. ::talking quietly out of the way:: I’m afraid I have to ask for a delay in tonight’s deal tonight.

<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> What?! What for? ::mrrs::

<Jenna_Clawson> Well… it’s a rather complicated story, one I’m sure you wouldn’t believe so can we please just… reschedule? You know I wouldn’t do this if I had a choice.

<Tygris> ::Turns to Enforcer and Nods:: I’m Agent Makenzy, from the MBI, i’ve been sent here by Captain Korat to asses the scene and ask if you can help me out, by letting me examine any evidence you have on the John Doe we’ve been monitoring, and if possible, what the Megakat Forensics team had to say on cause of death

* Enforcer is now known as Maj_Sphinx

<TrinaKorat> We’ve gotta look deeper into this, Ryder.

<Maj_Sphinx> :: answers Makenzy :: Well, Agent Makenzy, I’m special investigator Sphinx, and from what we can tell, this guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Normally we wouldn’t even bother to stop here if the inmate wasn’t so high profile.

<FletchRyder> I don’t know if your br- Captain Korat sent anybody, but I want to shake that place up like a rattle. ::voice getting an edge to it:: Two prisoners dead within the same week out there. We were nearly casualties too, just flying out of there. We need to start demanding some answers.

<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> No, I think ya best start talkin’ and fast b’fore ya end up at tha bottom of tha bay.

<TrinaKorat> ::nods:: I’m with you there. But, we gotta come up witha strategy. They’re bound to keep things from us considering we’re law enforcement.

<Tygris> ::thinks to himself:: have your team confirmed the exact details of his death, according to what you found?

<Jenna_Clawson> ::sighs:: I can’t, not here anyway, I need to get back to the MBI before they note me missing and flip out.

<Tasha_Forge> ((<Major Sphynx>……..they told you…a big ROCK fell on his HEAD and went *SPLAT!* <Tygris> and was that *Splat* loud or soft? <Major Sphinx>……))

<Maj_Sphinx> Well :: walks over to the spot in the mine, and gestures to a crudely attacked white tape outline on the floor :: He was standing here, when this boulder fell on top of him <Boulder> :: has since been shoved aside. Has numerous blood stains on it ::

<Tygris> ((I’m just being thorough))

<FletchRyder> I know. ::exasperated sigh, frustrated:: We still need to capture one of those plantimals alive. ::hesitant to continue:: I.. may have a plan for that.

<Tasha_Forge> <Tony> THE MBI?!?! What are ya doin’ there?! you rattin’ me out?!

<TrinaKorat> ((::DEAD::))

<Tasha_Forge> ((I know. Its just a joke. ^_^ ))

<TrinaKorat> And, I’m all ears.

<TrinaKorat> ::nods, considering this, turns around to email Felina back and give her suspicions while Ryder is on the phone::

<Tygris> Agent Ryder,this is Makenzy, I’m out at Megakat Springs Penitentary, at the site of our John Doe’s Death, and Something about this scene looks out of place

<FletchRyder> You’re there? ::surprised:: Well, what’d you find?

<Tygris> Captain Korat sent me out here to make a report, and I can tell you one thing, I find it difficult that this was an accidental boulder fall, seeing as how it fell directly onto his head, from a formation that the mining team cleared as safe less than two days ago, according to the records I’ve gotten from the Warden and Major Sphinx. also I found a footprint, that suspicously looks nothing like Enforcer boots near the boulder formation.

<_KIB_> Someone high up in the administration. I don’t know his name, but he’s got all the credentials. Something about the Center going bankrupt because funding was pulled last year regarding some illegal project.

<Tasha_Forge> You don’t know about the project at all? Nothing?

<_KIB_> It invovles you and some other she-kats that we’re supposed to pick out after they’ve been “tagged,” by those nasty looking creatures we deposited throughout the city.

<_KIB_> <Megakat Swamp> :: becomes a scarier place as the sun begins to set in the distance ::

<FletchRyder> Deposited? Where? ::alarm evident in voice::

<Jenna_Clawson> ::then goes to that readout::

<FletchRyder> Were you scheduled to make another drop, and do you know where?

<_KIB_> How good of a deal have I got myself so far?

<Tasha_Forge> A real good one. Protection for you and your family sound good enough?

<FletchRyder> Your family’s safe. This’ll go towards taking years off your sentence.

<FletchRyder> You may not even be charged at all, if you can prove you were forced, and we find you weren’t an accessory to murder.

<_KIB_> There’s a drop scheduled for Megakat plaza, tommorow at rushout. They don’t live very long, so they need to be put where they’ll be most effective. Their camoglauge makes them almost impossible to spot under normal lighting conditions.

<_KIB_> ((rush hour^))

<Tasha_Forge> UV lights makes them show up though, right? Any way to capture thes things without getting bitten?

<Jenna_Clawson> ::grins seeing he didn’t take that with him. takes it up in her hand and looks it over. chuckles now. looks for the serum itself if it is labled that he’s been working on::

<_KIB_> Only that this guy, he’s real sadistic if you hadn’t figured it out already. I don’t know what he’s going to do now.

<_KIB_> <Dr. Viper> Your rate of cellular decay has been slowed by nearly 50%.

<Jenna_Clawson> ::lol likes the sound of that. standing there thinking on this from another angle, a positive one:: There must be something wrong with it though… a negative effect…
