<Kats_Eye_News> RPG Start

<Kats_Eye_News> <Merchant> Heh heh heh, thank yew :: disembarks from where the T-Kat dropped the group off ::

<Trina_Korat> <T-Bone> ::yawns once they’ve landed. Is exhausted::

<Kats_Eye_News> <Razor> :: is cranky, needs a nap :: Last stap, everyone off.

<Kats_Eye_News> <Razor> And, thanks for the rescue.

<Joseph_Forge> ::will get up and stretch, heading out of the T-Kat:: Not a problem. And thaks for the ride back.

<Trina_Korat> Take care of yourselves. Get some sleep.

<Trina_Korat> <T-Bone> Don’t worry. Razor’s getting tossed into the shower and into his room when we get back.

<Kats_Eye_News> <Newspaper Stand> :: can be seen nearby where they’ve been dropped off. Headline is in extra bold print ::

<Kats_Eye_News> <Merchant> :: disapears into MKC , heh heh heh ::

<Joseph_Forge> ::Rubbing at his face. lol! will glance at said newspaper stand to read headline?::

<Joseph_Forge> ((::snorks at the heh heh heh))

<Trina_Korat> ((<Merchant> :is then arrested for his walking around repeating himself::))

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

<Kats_Eye_News> <Headline> “NUCLEAR DISASTER IN EUROPE”

<Trina_Korat> Dibs on the shower when we get home. ::to Joe::

<Trina_Korat> <T-Bone> ::revs up the Turbokat and takes off::

<Kats_Eye_News> <Razor> :: once everyone’s away, hopefully they zoom off into the sky XD ::

<Joseph_Forge> ::nods:: sure. ::will go over and pay the kat some for the paper and picks it up to read::

<Trina_Korat> ::sighs at the headline. Did enough crying on the way back. Now is just generally depressed:: We could’ve stopped them.

<Trina_Korat> <T-Bone> So aside the lack of sleep, how’re you feeling, buddy?

<Joseph_Forge> Yeah…I wonder if we could have myself….::will nod at the kat and walk with Trina, putting an arm around her:: lets just get home, okay?

<Trina_Korat> ::nods: Yeah, okay.

<Kats_Eye_News> <Newspaper> :: lead story :: “LATVIA – A freight trang carrying an improperly decomissioned nuclear reactor derailed in a remote section of Latvia, Europe, resulting in a low-yield atomic reaction that decimated the landscape. Due to low winds the fallout has been isolated and casualties outside of the train crew have yet to be reported”

<Kats_Eye_News> <Razor> Zzzzz…

<Joseph_Forge> ::Shaking head as he reads:: I can’t believe this….The NSA will walk out without a blemish from this because they fabricated this story.

<Trina_Korat> <T-Bone> :snorks:: Yeah, I guess it’s better if you don’t talk. ::flies them back to the hangar::

<Trina_Korat> How can they? We were there, Razor was there… we’ve got enough witnesses.

<Joseph_Forge> WEll then we’ll say something after we’ve rested.  Its time someone put the NSA in their place again. Josie just stepped out of bounds.

<Kats_Eye_News> <Article> “A botched terrorist-related theft of the reactor has not been ruled out. The country’s officials have reached out to other nations for aid in the investigation. The Negakat Security Administration has put out a notice for several persons of interest related in the matter.”

<Trina_Korat> ::Reading with him, then frowns:: Several persons of interest?

<Joseph_Forge> ::will keep reading, blinking. reads to see if they list who it is they are interested in XD::

<Kats_Eye_News> <Article> “Among these individuals are MBI agents Trina Korat, Hans Lynx, Joseph Forge and Ana Patterson, and the SWAT Kats known by their aliases T-Bone and Razor :: has profile shots of all of them in the paper :: If you see these individuals please call the Enforcers”

<Kats_Eye_News> <Article> “MBI Director Mark Sulfur had no comment at this time.”

<Trina_Korat> ::staring::

<Joseph_Forge> ::Frowns at that…staaaaring:: Great..gonna pin it on us are they. ::glances around and will pull trina into an alleyway:: come on. We should get to the bureau. We’ll be safer there than at home.

<Trina_Korat> ::is pulled:: I don’t believe this.

<Kats_Eye_News> <Article> “Their relation to this incident has not been specified, but many experts have commented that the MBI may have played a role in the explosion.”

<Joseph_Forge> ::Shaking head. will walk calmly to not draw attention, making way to bureau via alleys and side roads:: I know…I don’t either. This is a rip off.

<Trina_Korat> ::continues reading:: Played a role? Where do they get this crud? Sure, we have a better budget now, but where in the world do they think we’d get something as major as a nuke?

<Joseph_Forge> I have no clue.  They believe whatever lies they are fed.

*** Kats_Eye_News is now known as Pedestrians

<Trina_Korat> ::sighs, crumples up newspaper and tosses it into the nearest bin. Is pretty irked right now::

<Pedestrians> :: walking past. Some of them take a second look as Trina and Joe pass by ::

<Joseph_Forge> ::will simply give his scary look trina said to use on the zombies before ushering her faster:: lets hurry. I have a feeling we won’t be long removed from an Enforcer interferance.

<Trina_Korat> ::hurries, then. XD::

<Pedestrians> <MBI HQ> :: has many Enforcer sedans parked in the lot ::

<Trina_Korat> Oh… great.

<Pedestrians> <Enforcers> :: walks around, looking at their watches. Looks like they’ve been waiting for awhile ::

<Joseph_Forge> ::pauses, mrring:: Great..this isn’t what we needed. ::glances around:: Follow me.  Stay close. ::will duck into another alleyway into the shadows, taking the long way around to head for the back entrance::

<Trina_Korat> ::goes after him::

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::is inside talking to Feral? Maybe?::

<Pedestrians> <Feral> This time it’s gone too far. I don’t know how or why your people were on the other side of the planet. Frankly I don’t care. All I know is that this is too big of a coincidence, Sulfur.

<Joseph_Forge> ::looking around before darting across a road quickly into another alley::

<Pedestrians> <Enforcers> :: don’t notice Forge as they yawn in boredom ::

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::arms crossed:: And, I’m telling you again, Feral. In fact, I’m ASKING you. Where in the WORLD do you believe that WE, out of all the law enforcements in the city, had the money to get, of all things, a nuclear weapon?

<Pedestrians> <Feral> You didn’t have to get anything. Their was a train carrying nuclear equipment across the country. Reports are sketchy, but I’m assuming some kine of terrorist theft was attempted. You in all liklihood overstepped your bounds and decided to play hot shot and try to stop it yourselves instead of calling for help. Well, this is what happens when you don’t play by the rules :: holds up that newspaper angrily ::

<Joseph_Forge> ::will attempt to slip in the back door of the MBI provided its not guarded!::

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> No one tried to stop anything, Commander. The fact of the matter is that NOBODY even KNEW about this incident. We got reports that Dark Kat was planning something major.

<Trina_Korat> ::goes after him::

<Joseph_Forge> ::will go sneaking through the MBI, keeping an eye out for any Enforcers that might be inside looking::

<Pedestrians> <Feral> So you were involved? :: throws the newspaper down :: You wanted in the big leagues, Sulfur, well, you got it. I will not be drug down with you on this. This is bad, even by this city’s standards. Violating international law. Practicing law outside your jurisdiction. Inciting a nuclear incident. Blatant association with criminals :: referring to the SWAT Kats :: This agency is finished unless you start telling the truth, Sulfur.

<Trina_Korat> He’s telling the truth, Commander. ::say we got in, Joemun?::

<Joseph_Forge> ::shuas! will be standing there with her, arms crossed and glaring at Feral::

<Trina_Korat> ::is tired and disheveled, clothes are a mess and nearly torn.::

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::turns to stare at them wide-eyed:: Holy kats…

*** Pedestrians is now known as Feral

<Feral> You’re alive? :: then notes something else :: How did you get back here? All flights out of their have been halted. They’re looking for you everywhere.

<Feral> ((there^))

<Joseph_Forge> ::pretty much same shape as Trina. lol!::  We have ways. And we didn’t cause that nuclear incident. Your friends at the NSA did.

<Trina_Korat> You still have that gun we got from that agent, Joe?

<Joseph_Forge> ::nods and hands it over to feral:: you’ll find the prints of an Agent Guy Taylor on it as well as mine. I got it from him when we found him lurking around a town full of zombies…created by an NSA biological weapon that was given to Dark Kat.

<Feral> … what?

<Trina_Korat> To top that off, he admitted to a possible “partnership” between Dark Kat and the NSA.

<Feral> :: take the weapon with his handkerchief ::

<Trina_Korat> Unfortanately, he was killed in the line of fire. Dark Kat got away as soon as we learned the weapon was on its way. Agent Lynx tried to call it off, but they wouldn’t listen to reason.

<Joseph_Forge> We contacted the NSA once we were able to. They recieved transmission from us alerting them that we were there. They ignored our pleas to stop the the nuclear warhead and we had to flee quickly.  They destroyed that town, not us.

<Feral> These are serious accusations.

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> Just as serious as the NSA

<Trina_Korat> ‘s accusations towards us.

<Joseph_Forge> And we’re serious about pursing them. Mark..you still got that transmission we intercepted from the NSA?

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::nods, goes get it::

<Joseph_Forge> We got proof that the NSA was aware of Dark Kat and did nothing to stop him.

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::makes note to thank Joe for reminding him. XD Has been answering questions all day::

<Feral> :: has the gun in hand, as well as the memo when it’s handed to him. Looks it over. Frowns. :: I’ll be looking into this matter personally. :: points a finger at them :: I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt on this. Do not under any circumstances leave town. I forsee many subpeanas in your future. :: walks briskly out ::

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::returns with it:: Before you go, a copy fresh out of our copier. ::to Feral, gives it to him::

<Trina_Korat> ((Dur. Mine before yours. XD))

<Trina_Korat> ::sighs heavily, sits shakily::

<Joseph_Forge> ::Shrugs:: bring ‘em on. ::watching him go then will go kneel down and hug Trina:: Mark..whats going on? Other than every Enforcer in the world is hunting for us?

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> Oh, nothing much. Aside the fact that we’re now harboring weapons of mass destruction and trying to blow every other country we know sky high. ::the rubs at his face:: You know, of all the stupid things you coulda pulled, it had to be something this major. ::to Trina:: <Trina> I had a very good reason to go, and that was to help a friend. I didn’t drag anybody else with me. THey went because they wanted to.

<Joseph_Forge> Mark…that place…..::shakes head. will explain to him what happened and alla that::

<Feral> ((<Sulfur> You’re a loose cannon, Korat! I’ll have your badge for this! ))

<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!))

<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::))

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> I don’t wanna hear anything right now. ::to Trina:: You’re under paid suspension until further notice. Everybody else… I’ll figure something out later. ::is clearly upset:: <Trina> Fine. I could use a good break. ::stands;: Can I go home now? <Mark> ::nods::

<Joseph_Forge> ::Frowns:: The rest of us went on our own too, sir.  Its not fair to punish her for something we all did.

<Trina_Korat> Joe, just let it go, okay?

<Joseph_Forge> No.  Its not fair. We uncover a conspiracy between Dark Kat and the NSA and we’re punished? I don’t like it.  Not one bit.

<Trina_Korat> JOE. ::harshly:: Please.

<Joseph_Forge> ::mrrs, starting to open his mouth then just shuts it and crosses arms::

<Trina_Korat> Let’s just go home, okay? ::whispered, voice pained::

<Joseph_Forge> Fine. ::glares at mark a moment then will go to put an arm around Trina and take her home::

<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::lets out a huff and starts making a few phone calls::

<Joseph_Forge> ::will walk with Trina out! did we leave a vehicle here or what?::

<Trina_Korat> ::your truck, maybe? xD::

<Joseph_Forge> :okies! will walk her outside to the truck then! unlocking and going to help her in::

<Trina_Korat> ;;gets inside and sinks into her seat, tucking a strand of her behind her ear::

<Joseph_Forge> ::shuts her door and goes around to get in and pull out to go home!  softly as he drives:: I’m sorry.

<Trina_Korat> For what? ::gently::

<Joseph_Forge> For back there with Mark. I just can’t believe him. We’ve never led him to disbelieve us and always stuck by him so why is he acting like this now when we’re trying to tell him there’s more to this than saving one kat?

<Trina_Korat> He’s not angry because of that, Joe.

<Feral> ((<Mark> Cuz’ I hate you, and your little dog too <Trina> That’s not a nice thing to say… :: pauses :: Wait, I’m no Toto ))

<Joseph_Forge> Then what is it? Because we left? He made the call to get us clearance into Latvia, didn’t he? ::mun thought he did anyway::))

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

<Trina_Korat> ((::DIES!::))

<Trina_Korat> ::he did. XD::

<Feral> ((<Trina> Uh yeah, about that… <Joe> honey, did you lie to me? <Trina> …it’s not the first time… <Joe> :: sighs, was wondering when the missuhs would start actin’ up XD ::))

<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIIIIES!::))

<Trina_Korat> No. It’s because we would’ve died back there. I know him, Joe. Nothing upsets Mark more than having his agents in mortal danger, especially where we were.

<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!))

<Joseph_Forge> well he coulda shown that more than suspending you and griping at us.  ::Grip tight on the steering wheel. will pull into the garage at the house and gets out to go around and help her out::

<Trina_Korat> ::gives him a calm look:: Consider this, Joe. What would’ve happened if you ran away from home for a couple days and then came back, leaving your parents worried?

<Joseph_Forge> They’d have gotten mad and prolly grounded me but they’d at least have been grateful I was home.

<Trina_Korat> Exactly. Now, think about what he said – PAID suspension until FURTHER notice. I wasn’t fired, was I?

<Joseph_Forge> No but still. Its not fair to punish you and not the rest of us. ::going inside the house and tossing keys aside::

<Joseph_Forge> YOu weren’t the only one that went you know.  I see him doing this sorta lopsided. I don’t like it when he puts everything on you.

<Trina_Korat> It was my idea to go, remember?

<Joseph_Forge> ::sighs:: I still don’t understand hon but whatever. Go get your shower. ::goes to slump down in his chair::

<Trina_Korat> ::shakes her head, then on the way up says:: By the way, thank you. FOr everything.

<Joseph_Forge> ::nods somewhat:: you’re welcome….just….get some rest okay? That’ll make me feel better is if we both rest.

<Feral> <Noise> :: coming from the kitchen, like someone’s rumaging through the refridgerator ::

<Trina_Korat> ::smiles, nods, goes on upstairs::

<Joseph_Forge> ::blinks, looooking over that way. will reach inside the drawer of his table and grabs a gun, heading into the kitchen. will peeek around the corner to see who’s in there!::

*** Feral is now known as Merchant

<Merchant> :: can be seen coming back from the fridge, a chicken drumstick in his hand, takes a bite :: What are you *chew* sellin’?

<Joseph_Forge> ::growls:: you?! What are you doing in my house?!

<Merchant> …things

<Joseph_Forge> No. explanation. Now! ::gun aimed at him::

<Trina_Korat> ((::SOOOOOOOOOODEAD XD!::))

<Merchant> Heh heh heh, thank you :: runs away out the back door XD ::

<Joseph_Forge> ((::rolling!:: <Trina> I KNEW he’d come back to haunt us with his Heh Heh Hehing!))

<Joseph_Forge> ::mrrs and will chase after to try and tackle him!::

<Trina_Korat> ((

<Trina_Korat> ::DYING XD)

<Merchant> :: is tackled. Falls to the ground, large sack o’ goodies flies off his back and goes clattering to the floor, unrolling and spilling many a pilfered weapon and item ::

<Joseph_Forge> ::Hisses and will drag him up:: Don’t think so buddy. ::will try to grab a pair of cuffs if they be among the stolen items and cuff him:: Trina!!!

<Merchant> :: is cuffed ::

<Trina_Korat> ::comes downstairs, hair is messy and wet and is in a bathrobe:: What’s going on?

<Joseph_Forge> We’ve had an intruder. Will you come watch him while I go call Feral and let him know we’ve had a robber…as well as a witness to the whole Latvia mess?

<Trina_Korat> ::eyes wide at the merchant, then smirks:: Sure.

<Joseph_Forge> ::nods and will hand her his gun as he goes to call Feral::
