<T-KatAI> (( ::Dead:: ))
<Tessie_Reed> ::Zaps out of the computer to sit in Greenbox’ lap. lol! looking out the cockpit:: Can you get us closer to the light, T-Bone? I can only create an arc so far.
<Dr_Greenbox> Yeah, I think so… And thanks. I’ll leave the diactivator with you in case you need it. It won’t harm your Turbokat’s AI.
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies!::))
<T-KatAI> (( <t-Kat> and it’s a wonderful fashion accessory too! ::preens:: ))
<T-Bone> ::nods at that, giving signature thumbs up::
<Dr_Greenbox> ((LOL!!))
<Dr_Greenbox> ::ready for when Tessie does her c-kat thang::
<Tessie_Reed> ::When close enough will take daddums acoherant and zap into the t-kat, then into a nearby light and into the apartment! making them solid in the living room!::
<Dr_Greenbox> Phew… ::once in living room and solid lets her go. drops duffel he had and flops down backwards onto the sofa::
<Trina_Korat> ::sitting in the breakroom, still watching the news, trying to make sure she heard right::
<Dr_Greenbox> ((<Villains>:;around Megakat, cheer and plot to strike now with renewed hope!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((<Feral> ::pops open that bottle of cream he’d been saving for 15 years::))
<Tessie_Reed> are you alright, dad?
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Dr_Greenbox> I… suppose so. ::goes to get the remote now:: Are you? ::looks up at her::
<T-Bone> ::once they’re gone, heaves a long, slow sigh, a sad look in his eye as he takes a moment to overlook the city from this vantage-point:: Razor, why are you tripping out like this, now of all times? ::throttles jet and steers it back to the garage::
<Tessie_Reed> I am operating at my normal 95% ::other 5 is that virus in her system. sits beside him:: I was concerned when Zed recognised you.
<Trina_Korat> ::calls the garage::
<Dr_Greenbox> Run a systems check. Make sure there is no trace of Zed within yourself.
<Dr_Greenbox> ::turns TV on and to the news, keeping volume low as they talk:: And what do you mean, concerned?
<T-Bone> <Hertz> ::enters breakroom, going straight for the fridge. has a large, red, rectangular burn across both eye regions. reaches into fridge, pulls out two slabs of meat, and wordlessly slaps them over both eyes::
<Tessie_Reed> :nods and starts a systems check as he asks:: Zed had attempted to merge with a biological. The one called Razor. I was concerned he would try the same with you.
<Trina_Korat> ::gives Hertz a blank look, sooo doesn’t want to ask what happened to him as she waits for the phone to be picked up::
*** Lt_Feral is now known as Jake
<Jake> :: has made his way back to the garage, ignores the ringing phone. Is rumaging about his room, throwing things into a large duffel bag ::
<T-Bone> ::as he parks the T-Kat, hops out in time to hear the phone ringing upstairs. throws off his mask and jumpsuit, and climbs the ladder up into the main garage to quickly answer it:: Chance here.
*** Jake is now known as Jake_Clawson
<Trina_Korat> Chance, it’s me.
<T-Bone> ::doesn’t note Jake there yet::
*** T-Bone is now known as Chance_Furlong
<Chance_Furlong> Trina, what’s up?
<Trina_Korat> That’s what I’d like to know. Please tell me the news is playing their April Fools’ pranks early…?
<Dr_Greenbox> ::smiles a bit at her:: I was worried about that myself. This day hasn’t been pleasent for me… but… I hope I really have made amends with the SWAT Kats and the city. ::smile fades and he looks to the TV:: I… found it difficult deactivating Zed like that but there was no choice.
<Chance_Furlong> You’re asking the wrong Swat Kat. Frankly, I don’t know that Jake can be reasoned with at this point. He kept talking about Europe and his fan clubs online, and then once Zed tried taking him over, he finally snapped.
<Trina_Korat> ::frowns:: When did all this start?
<Dr_Greenbox> ((<T-kat>::downloads Showtunes to play for Chance later to cheer him up!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies!::))
<T-KatAI> (( ::Snorks:: ))
<Tessie_Reed> ::pats his shoulder:: YOu did good, dad. You did the right thing. We both know that not all technology is good. Zed was not good.
<Jake_Clawson> ((<Chance> Since his mun was switched ))
<T-KatAI> (( hey folks I think I’m gonna pop out of here. I work at 11 tomorrow @_@ ))
<Chance_Furlong> Well, it’s hard to say. The first hint of discontent I heard from him was during our test flight with the Turbokat’s new AI system. But, ya’ know, something like this just doesn’t happen overnight. It must’ve been building over time, and he just hasn’t said anything until now.
<Trina_Korat> ((:dies!::))
<Dr_Greenbox> ((lol eep! ::huggles:: Night Shadymun! ^_^ See ya laterz.))
<Tessie_Reed> ((maww nights Shadey! ::hugloafs::))
<Trina_Korat> But that’s not like him, Chance…
<Chance_Furlong> ((lol! And G’nights!))
<Trina_Korat> ((Maw! ::hugs:: G’night, Shademun!))
<T-KatAI> ((::hugs all around:: thanks everyoen for the really fun RP. <3 <3 ))
*** T-KatAI [~GothDevil@HW-ESR1-208-102-171-43.fuse.net] has quit [Quit: ]
<Chance_Furlong> You don’t think I know that? Kats alive, everything he’s done today hasn’t been like him, and it has my head spinning just trying to keep up with his mood changes.
<Trina_Korat> ::sighs:: Is he around? Want me to talk to him?
<Jake_Clawson> :: slings packed duffel bag over his shoulder, exits his room ::
<Chance_Furlong> I dunno’, let me check. ::hollers into garage:: Jake! Oh, there you are. ::as he exits room:: Trina on the phone, wants to talk to you. ::holds it out::
<Dr_Greenbox> He was originally… or well at least neutral? ::rubs the bridge of his nose with two fingers a moment::
<Jake_Clawson> I can’t talk now. I’ll miss my flight.
<Trina_Korat> <Flight?> ::hearing this::
<Tessie_Reed> If we could firewall his programming enough we might could work through where the technology went wrong….::pauses:; I..know I am not Zed, dad. I am sorry your creation did not work. I will do my best to do for you what you wanted him to do.
<Chance_Furlong> ::now noting Jake’s stuffed duffel bag, a bit of hurt in his eye as he grudgingly turns away from him:: Flight? Don’t tell me you’re going to Europe. ::speaking lowly::
<Dr_Greenbox> ((<Chance> … I think insanity runs in the family, Trina. <Jenna>::giggles like a nut as she stalks Jase, ready to pounce and give him a pair of red leather pants::))
<Trina_Korat> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Chance_Furlong> ((lol!!))
<Trina_Korat> ::hearing all this, called on her cellphone. Is heading to her car::
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Dr_Greenbox> ::smiles at her, and pats her back a bit:: No… Zed’s too far gone and contaminated. It’s dangerous, and I don’t want you messing around with it. You’ve already got that virus to contend with that causes those glitches in your system.
<Jake_Clawson> I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. It isn’t you who doesn’t pull his own weight, it’s me. I’m not neccessary. Hackle, Greenbox or even the Turbokat’s AI are now more than capable of fullfilling a supporting role for you. You don’t need me anymore.
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Tessie>::Twitching:: What glitches? <Greenbox>-_- ))
<Dr_Greenbox> ((<Tessie>::slaps Greenbox a few times randomly too:: <Greenbox> Those.))
<Tessie_Reed> ::nods:: I understand. The offer still stands at any time. ::smiles and completes check:: Systems check complete. No trace of Zed in my files.
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIES!::))
<Dr_Greenbox> Good. ::nods and leans back on the sofa now to look at the TV:: Now… you know anything about why Razor suddenly is calling it quits?
<Chance_Furlong> Trina, I’m gonna’ hafta’ call you back. ::hangs up, turning back to Jake now:: You know that’s not true, Jake, and even if it were, we’re a team! We’ve got years of experience and trust built into this that you just don’t “replace” with a piece of hardware or some other dude twice our age.
<Tessie_Reed> ::shakes head:: No, I do not. Unless Zed did something when he attempted to merge.
<Trina_Korat> ::sits in her car and waits. Is ready to head to the airport if necessary::
<Chance_Furlong> <Bum Kat> ::comes up to Trina’s car, starts wiping windshield::
<Jake_Clawson> Maybe it’s time it was. I joined the Enforcers to help, and everytime I’ve tried to it’s just gotten slapped back in my face. Sentenced to living the rest of our lives to this insult :: gestures to their surroundings :: I was supposed to continue through the graduate program at MKU after our two years in the force. Do you know what today would have been?
<Trina_Korat> ::looks up: Wait, I don’… ::sighs, just lets him. Rummages into her glove compartment for change::
<Dr_Greenbox> ((::snorks:: <Bum Kat>::is Dark Kat’s younger, freeloading brother. Never could get any evil schemes off the ground himself, so hung around Big (and boy do I mean big) brother in hopes of hanging on his coattails to world domination… until he was booted out of the evil lair for eating the last of DK’s secret taco stash::))
<Trina_Korat> ((DEADDEAD!))
<Chance_Furlong> What? Your graduation? You don’t think that was my goal in life, either, buddy? Well guess what, we given a chance unlike any other, one shot in a million to repay all those lunkheads at the academy who always put us down and said we’d never amount to anything. Who needs a degree for whoopin’ tail!
<Chance_Furlong> ((^were))
<Dr_Greenbox> Hmm… that could be. I hope that Razor gets some sort of physical soon to make sure no damage was done.
<Chance_Furlong> ((lol!!))
<Chance_Furlong> <Bum Kat> ::holds out paw for change. made that windshield nice and sqeaky clean.. even if it was with his spit XD::
<Trina_Korat> ::reminds self to go to a car wash later. XD GIves him a $5::
<Tessie_Reed> I would contact them for him to do so if I knew how. Perhaps if they AI in the t-kat was still active I could trace the signature but..she is not active any longer.
<Chance_Furlong> <Bum Kat> Yer so nice, lady, I could just kiss yew! ::kisses $5 instead and walks away::
<Jake_Clawson> I would have had my doctorate by now :: sullen, sad look :: Maybe this is all you wanted out of life, and for awhile it was nice, but pretending to be just like your Kat Kommandos has no bearing on real life. Did you ever want to do somethine more? Settle down with someone? Make a new family? Have someone respect you for what you really are and not what you pretend to be?
<Trina_Korat> Heeeeh… ::small smile::
<Dr_Greenbox> I’m sure it’ll be taken care of. You’d better not pry, Tessie.
<Chance_Furlong> ::taken aback some:: Yeah, I wanted a few of those things you mentioned, but this is the lot I was given in life, and I think we’ve done a whole lot more good with it than we could ever have done elsewise. We knew, or at least I knew, what we’d have to sacrifice going into the vigilante business. I know we didn’t plan on it lasting this long, but still.. we’ve made a commitment, and we just can’t back out of it because we want to take a cruise.
<Tessie_Reed> I won’t, dad. ::smiles, snuggles back into the sofa with him, pulling feet up on it as she goes acoherant a moment and solidifies in some comfy pink cloth shorts and a white tank top.
<Tessie_Reed> ::
<Jake_Clawson> Well, I am. :: gathers himself anew :: I’m leaving, and I don’t know if I’m coming back.
<Dr_Greenbox> ::sits and watches the news, frowning at the reports. changes channels but the major networks all are carrying the story locally. won’t be long before it goes national. leaves it on MBC. quiet::
<Tessie_Reed> ::watches quietly a bit then looks over at him:: Maybe you should get out of the house a while, dad? Cheer up?
<Chance_Furlong> Just like that, huh? It’s so easy for you to abandon everything we’ve built here. ::clenches fists, looking away from him now, boiling over inside:: Fine. Go on and “enjoy” what you’ve been missing. Maybe I don’t need you afterall.
<Jake_Clawson> :: doesn’t say anything else. Walks out the door ::
<Dr_Greenbox> No, I’d rather stay here and rest up from everything.
<Tessie_Reed> ::nods:: would you like me to leave you alone then so you can rest?
<Dr_Greenbox> No… unless you’d rather be doing something else? You’ve got that project you wanted to invent for something to show to the CEO’s at Puma-Dyne for hiring.
<Tessie_Reed> ::soft smile:: That can wait. You are more important to me right now.
<Dr_Greenbox> Thanks, kiddo. ::returns her smile:: How about we watch your cartoons?
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks:: YOu….want to?
<Dr_Greenbox> It’s better than this depressing news.
<Tessie_Reed> ::nods and will take the remote and change it over there to watch::
<Chance_Furlong> ::once he’s gone, just stands in the middle of the room, clenching and unclenching his paws. finally loses it and punches a hole into the nearest wall. pulls his other arm up against it and leans his forehead against it, eyes locked shut and teeth gnashing::
<Trina_Korat> ::decides she can’t wait for a phone call. Goes ahead and drives towards the airport::
<Jake_Clawson> :: arrives at the airport via rpg timewarp XD ::
<Dr_Greenbox> ::watches the cartoons with Tessie though mind is elsewhere. hopes she never goes out of control like that to where he has to deactivate her…::
<Trina_Korat> ::does too. Gets there and looks around for Jakes. Has her badge out in case she has to go through security::
<Chance_Furlong> <Hertz> ::lying on the couch in the breakroom, two slabs of meat still over his eyes:: Mother said nothing good would ever come of microwavable food.. and she was right!
<Trina_Korat> ((::DIES!::))
<Tessie_Reed> ::maww I won’t daddy. XD will start laying over some to rest her head on his shoulder. lol! is tired too!::
<Dr_Greenbox> <Felony>::laughs at the news! smokes a cigar and has a glass of champagne! wishes the MBI would break up. XD:: <Jenna> ::could care less! is sure that big guy will find another partner:: <Protocol>::is disturbed to hear this news, wonders what’s going on:: <Josie> ::shocked! remembers her first assignment with the NSA was to try and learn their IDs… wonders if MBI knows about this::
<Dr_Greenbox> <Ling>::shocked to hear this as well, can’t believe it!:: <Hans>::is stunned! hopes this isn’t true… that the SKs are doing this for some strange plan of theirs in their fight against evil…::
<Jake_Clawson> :: can be seen at the terminal, presenting a ticket and getting ready to board ::
<Trina_Korat> Jake! ::running over there::
<Jake_Clawson> :: turns, hearing his name ::
<Dr_Greenbox> ((::dies Hertz!::))
<Dr_Greenbox> You need to rest, Tessie?
<Trina_Korat> ::Catches up to him, pulling him outta line:: What on Felinus are you doing?
<Tessie_Reed> mmm…I am resting. ::soft smile:: You are comfortable.
<Dr_Greenbox> ::laughs a bit:: Oh, well alright then.
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> ::arches a brow to see Hertz: Uh… dare I ask?
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> ::once he’s in the breakroom::
<Dr_Greenbox> ((<Hertz> That mean ol’ SWAT Kat tried to murder me! DEATH BY HOTPOCKET!!))
<Jake_Clawson> I’m taking my life back.
<Trina_Korat> ((::DIES!::))
<Trina_Korat> What’re you talking about? You came up with this decision straight out of the blue?
<Chance_Furlong> <Hertz> Death from above, in saucey, pepperoni stuffed deliciousness! They said the forecast would be cloudy with a chance of precipitation, but this is the last straw! I am calling Kats Eye News’ meteorologist first thing tomorrow!
<Chance_Furlong> ((lol!))
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> Wait…what?
<Dr_Greenbox> ((LOL!))
<Tessie_Reed> You do not mind do you?
<Jake_Clawson> It’s been growing on me for awhile now <Intercom> Now boarding flight 1313 to Latvia, Eastern Europe <Jake> … that’s my flight.
<Dr_Greenbox> No, of course not. ::maw… thinks it’s nice having a ‘daughter’ to spend time with. can’t believe anyone would want to format her.::
<Trina_Korat> BUt… this isn’t like you!
<Chance_Furlong> <Hertz> Prepare yourself, for what I am about to show you, is a heinous sight indeed.. ::removes slabs of meat from eyes, revealing hot pocket burn mark over them:: I was hit, square on, by an attacking vessels supply of hot pockets! Oh it was horrible! ::returns slabs of meat::
<Trina_Korat> ::arms in that “please listen to reason” position::
<Chance_Furlong> ((<Trina’s Arm> ::are choking Jake in their “now I will force you to listen to reason” position::))
<Dr_Greenbox> ((<arms>::which mean that they’re wrapped around Jake’s ankle as Trina tries to keep Jake from walking off::))
<Tessie_Reed> :but he did! DK is de ebil! giggles some at a cartoon thats on::
<Chance_Furlong> ((lol!!))
<Dr_Greenbox> ((::busts up!::))
<Trina_Korat> ))DEAD!!!))
<Jake_Clawson> Exactly! Where has being ‘like me’ gotten me? Imprisoned and unappreciated. :: lugs his carry-on :: I’m going to find myself.
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Trina_Korat> How can you say that?! ::pulls him back again:: What about everything you accomplished, everything you strived for, everything you proved?!
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Jake>::Returns a couple of days later:: <Trina> Well? <Jake> I found myself….. <Trina> And? <Jake>…..I scared me back home…))
<Trina_Korat> ((::SOOODEAD!!::))

<Dr_Greenbox> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Tessie_Reed> ::DK wouldn’t let me watch cartoons either….::
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> Uh…
<Jake_Clawson> What’s it matter? No one cares about Jake Clawson, washed-up Enforcer reject who can’t even get accepted to a community college with his criminal record. :: quietly :: This is my last chance to see if there really is anything else left.

<Trina_Korat> *I* CARE!
<Trina_Korat> ::is hurt. This doesn’t sound like the kat she usually talks to on the phone::

<Tessie_Reed> ::yes you issss!XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::will eventually doze off over against him. if not careful will flop over in his lap. lol!::
<Jake_Clawson> I know you both care. The problem is that I stopped. :: turns away, goes to board the plane ::
