The MBI, SWAT Kats, Enforcers and NSA must work together to save Megakat City from Turmoil’s airship containing Dr. Viper’s sporepod as well as help the city during the crisis. Later Josie and Tessie go to Dr. Nyus’ place where the CKIA had been keeping Protocol and another cyberkat.
<Josie_Lyons> RPG START!
<Mark_Sulfur> ::has peeps in the conference room? Mebbe?::
<Josie_Lyons> ::has mobilized an airforce strike team for when that thing gets near::
<Josie_Lyons> <Hans> ::sounds good!::
<Tasha_Forge> ::will be there!:: <Joe>::will be out helping evacuate peeps if okay with muns. can only handle one chara in the chaos::
<Josie_Lyons> ::is there as well if that’s alright, Markmun?::
<Shade_Ringo> ::in the conference room, itching to get going::
<Mark_Sulfur> <Jason> ::is at his usual spot at the wall next to Mark:: <Trina> ::had her mother in law take Cale to twilight and be ready to evacuate if need be::
<Josie_Lyons> <Hans> ::there waiting to hear the details of alla this::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::is fine, says markmun!::
<Mark_Sulfur> I want reports and I want details. How long ’til that thing gets here and is there anything else Viper has in mind aside blowing that thing up over the city?
<Josie_Lyons> Estimated time is nearly three hours.
<Josie_Lyons> As far as I’m aware Dr. Viper only has this in mind.
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> SWAT Kats are on their way there. They said they’d try to intercept it to give us time to prepare.
<Josie_Lyons> ::RPG time can go faster tho ;D just saying as last time 24 hours. can say time passed for this::
<Josie_Lyons> Just so long as they know not to blow the thing up.
<Tasha_Forge> How far along are the evacuations?
<Mark_Sulfur> <Jason> The Enforcers are working on that one. ::about the evacuations;;And, every news station in MKC has announced it.
<Shade_Ringo> Megakat Bridge is blocked up clear to the west side. There’s no way everyone will get out in 3 hours.
<Josie_Lyons> It won’t matter anyway. If that thing isn’t stopped, the sporepod mutation will spread throughout the world in due time.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::groans softly, rubs at his eyes:: We can only hope that they will. We need ideas, people. How do we stop that thing if we can’t blow it up?
<Tasha_Forge> Bunch of plant killer?
<Josie_Lyons> McGrath said that if someone can get onboard and access the levitation system and set it to maximum overdrive, it’s possible that the Airship could be sent into a low orbit, freezing everything on board. At that height, once it begins to plummet, all material will burn up on re-entry.
* Shades is now known as Gracie
<Shade_Ringo> Setting a ship to maximum overdrive is risky. What if it blows up before making it out of the atmosphere?
<Gracie> ::sitting and listening she is. XD working on a scheme she is::
<Mark_Sulfur> <Jason> That could work. The SWAT Kats managed that with the Megakat Tower. <Mark> Unfortunately, how do we know it’ll work a second time? Viper may’ve gotten better since that incident.
<Tasha_Forge> And what about the unfortunate person onboard?
<Mark_Sulfur> <Jason> And, it’s gonna take more than one person.
<Gracie> I volunteer to go.
<Josie_Lyons> If it blows up before proper height can be reached, we better hope that the spores will burn up first. As for whoever goes and actually makes it on board, I’m sure there’s escape pods that they’ll be able to use.
<Josie_Lyons> I’m not sure how far Dr. Viper has taken over that airship. By now I’d say almost entirely, so he may or may not be using its defense systems.
<Tasha_Forge> I’d say we test out this theory before anyone goes up there. someone get on board and test freezing at least one of those things first. Just to make sure. If it doesn’t work then we could figure something else out.
<Josie_Lyons> We don’t have time for tests, Forge. If we’re lucky to even get someone on board, they’ll need to begin the full mission ASAP.
<Mark_Sulfur> <SK Comm> ::buzzes:: <Trina> ;:blinks, picks up and sets it on the table;: Please give me good news, guys? ::will someone be my co-SK? ^^;;

<Josie_Lyons> ((::dead!::))

<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> ::dryly:: Love you too. <Razor> We’ve thrown everything non-lethal we have it. On the bright side, we found a way in, but we can’t do this alone. Anyway we can count on a few of you to help us sneak in?
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::dies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::listening attentively::
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::just dies again, reminded of the billy goat that can only sing everything he says from “Hoodwinked”::)
<Josie_Lyons> I have an airstike force ready to give the MBI… and you SWAT Kats… coverfire to sneak inside.
<Mark_Sulfur> ((“No I can’t, wish I could, but a mountain witch put a spell on me 37 years ago, and now I gotta sing everything I saaaaaaay.” “Everything?” “That’s right.” “You just talked! Just now!” “Did I? Did Iiii? Did I dida dida dida dida doooo!” ))
<Gracie> <T-Bone> because honestly I can’t forsee getting on there with the two of us.. Not unless you guys want me to come back in a body bag.

<Mark_Sulfur> ((::DEAD SHade! XD::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((Did you get a call back?))
<Mark_Sulfur> <Razor> We’ll take advantage of that, Dir. Lyons. We’ll be on the MBI roof in ten minutes. Over.
<Mark_Sulfur> Well, you heard ‘im. We’ll need several volunteers, at least as a distraction to get the SWAT Kats in to stop Viper.
<Shade_Ringo> Well, that’s a start. ::will have to pack an extra comb if he’s going airborne XD::
<Gracie> ((<Gracie> Hey we need to stop making this a habit. <T-Bone> it’s in the contract. A monster at least every four weeks now. Instead of every week. ))
<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ::looks to Mark:: I hope that chopper can get you all in the airship… or that you all will fit in the SWAT Kats’ cargobay.
<Tasha_Forge> I’ll volunteer to go.
<Gracie> Same here. ::curt nod of her head::
<Josie_Lyons> <Hans> Me too.
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> Same here.
<Shade_Ringo> Put me where you need me, chief.
<Mark_Sulfur> That’s five. The rest of us will be sure to help evacuate the city.
<Mark_Sulfur> Let’s get moving, people. We have less than three hours no.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Megs> ::blink, shrug at the Francais:: Oui! ::head out::))

<Shade_Ringo> ::eyes protected from the flying dust by his shades. whistles at Hans and Tasha, tossing them a laser rifle:: Happy New Year.
<Shade_Ringo> ::or, whoever wants one XD::
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::frowning. wishing they didn’t have to call on the SKs for this, but what can you do?:: <Hans> ::smirks:: Thanks, Ringo.

<Gracie> <T-Bone> This is your captain speaking, please remember to obey the no smoking sign and leave your tray tables in a upright position.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> YOu’ve got a little over 2 hours to get this done before Dr. Viper is in proper positioning.
<Tasha_Forge> ::snorks, getting seated in the cargo bay there for this flight:: at least there’s no windows….
<Shade_Ringo> ::swings his rifle around his shoulder for now, grinning some as he clambors into the belly of the Turbokat::
<Gracie> ::heads into the bay then XD. has a heavy duty laser pistol and her normal side arm.. and some ‘goodies’ tucked away in her vest::
<Trina_Korat> <Razor> We should be able to land unnoticed, Dir. Lyons. If you can keep your airships long enough up there for us to sneak in…
<Hans_Lynx> <Hans> ::whistles at the jet, pats ‘er before getting in. sits next to Tasha:: Still can’t believe my wife is scared of flying.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::nods:: Roger that.
<Trina_Korat> <Trina> Don’t mock those of us scared of heights, Hans.
<Shade_Ringo> I think she’s just scared of falling, Lynx.
<Gracie> (( <Ringo> For me! <Tasha>::Facepalm:: ))
<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs::
<Hans_Lynx> ((::snorks!::))
<Shade_Ringo> Keep the coffee on for us, Lyons! ::waves, grinning::
<Trina_Korat> <Razor> :gives her a thumbs up, then hops back into the Turbokat:: We’re ready, buddy. Let’s get going.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::backs up to watch ‘em fly off::
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!))
<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: I was doing better till I fell at Christmas with that stupid kit’s antics.
<Gracie> <T-Bone>::and away we go! And no.. I won’t attempt to make you guys air sick… that’s too much of a clean up::
<Shade_Ringo> ::hurk! lurches some as the jet zooms off. puts a hand to the side for stability::
<Hans_Lynx> ::heads down back to where Mark is. calling up her pilots and informing them to leave now at the proper destination for their mission::
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie>^
<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::has everybody who’s left go help the Enforcers::
<Trina_Korat> <Razor> How long ’til we arrive, buddy?
<Hans_Lynx> Wish I was was in the cockpit instead of down here… ::says quietly, puts arm ’round Tasha::
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::to Mark:: They’re on their way. :;as she reaches him::
<Tasha_Forge> ::leans over against him:: wish I was home watching TV, and not going off to fight a bunch of overgrown plants on an airship. ::simrks::
<Hans_Lynx> ::chuckles and kisses her cheek::
<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::as he throws on his uniform, which he hasn’t done in ages:: Let’s hope they arrive in time.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> I’m heading back to NSA HQ to continue monitoring the situation from there. You going to help the Enforcers?
<Trina_Korat> <Mark> We should be okay.
<Trina_Korat> <Trina> Consider it practice should you want a greenhouse. ::to Tasha::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Mark> A kat’s gotta’ do, what a kat’s gotta’ do. <Josie> Uh huh.. so you’re working the crosswalk. <Mark> ::clutching Stop sign:: It is my destiny.))
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies!::))
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Just be careful. Looting is going on in some parts of the city and despite the orderliness Rex and Feral have going for evacuation, they’re paniced. ::meaning the citizens::
<Hans_Lynx> ((::DEAD::))
<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: After this I don’t think I want a plant in my house…
<Gracie> (( <Citizens> OH NOEZ the world shall ennnnnnndddd…. I WANT IT ALL ))
<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol))
<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL! you’d be surprised!))
<Shade_Ringo> Well, maybe Hertz won’t cry now once he finds out I let his plant die. ::checking his charges::
<Trina_Korat> <Mark> We will be.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::nods. smiles at him. resists urge to hug him:: Good luck, Mark. ::turns to head on out::
<Hans_Lynx> Oh Hertz will be alright if he’s been getting my faxes.
<Shade_Ringo> I didn’t think he was allowed to go near the fax machine anymore? Too many papercuts and malfunctions.
<Tasha_Forge> Your faxes? ::confused::
<Trina_Korat> <Razor> How long ’til we arrive, buddy? ((::repost for TBone mun in case she missed::)
<Gracie> ((Thank you, the mun did miss that))
<Gracie> <T-Bone> Not long, as long as the air traffic remains dead. It looks like no one wants to brave flying right now.
<Trina_Korat> <Razor> Good news for us, I guess. ::looking at the vial of super coolant he has:: Let’s just hope this is enough.
<Hans_Lynx> ::chuckles:: Yeah. Every now and then I’ll send him a fax. From himself. From the future. Told him a few hours ago through one that he needs to stay in the basement in Evidence with Tansy as the city will be having a mega after Christmas sale and that if he didn’t play checkers with the pixie until someone gave the all clear, he’d end up getting a purse in the face from an angry shopper.
<Gracie> ::laughs:: And he believes them?
<Trina_Korat> <Trina> You guys are so cruel.
<Shade_Ringo> ((::rotfl! Hans::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::busts up laughing::
<Tasha_Forge> ::busts up laughing:: oh he’ll believe it. He believes anything.
<Hans_Lynx> Dunno yet. Let’s hope he believed that one. Will keep him out of trouble if he has. You know he’s not cut out for city wide crisis.
<Gracie> <T-Bone> I’m hoping it is buddy. ::frowns gripping the joystick more:: I’m starting to think the past can’t stay in the past anymore.
<Shade_Ringo> No wonder he left me a note wanting me to take care of “Planty.”
<Trina_Korat> <Razor> ::smirks:: C’maaaaahn. Things would be boring if they did. ::trying to lighten up the mood::
<Gracie> <T-Bone>::snorks:: oh like those pepper eating contests? I think my stomach is still trying to recover. I’m still burping fire.
<Hans_Lynx> <Airship> ::seen in the far off distaaaance which mun will have to do if Matt doesn’t get back from BRB land XD::
<Trina_Korat> <Razor> Only cuz’ you can’t hold down your peppers. ::grinning::
<Tasha_Forge> ::Sighs:: Lets hope everyone comes out of this unharmed…
<Gracie> <T-Bone> Maybe if all else fails I can burn the plants to death with my breath.
<Gracie> Try reverse psychology Tasha ::small uneasy smile::
<Hans_Lynx> Yeah. I’m not in the mood to be some freakish mutant kat living in a swampy world having to lissssten to misssster lisssp monssster.

<Hans_Lynx> ::firing as they go back. enters corridor now and catches up::
<Trina_Korat> Two of you head that way, while the rest head the other way. T-Bone and I’ll head towards the control room.

<_RazorSK_> ::mun pictured it as a three way “fork”? XD::
<Hans_Lynx> ::there other ways to go in that corrider besides one way to the engine room?::
<Dr_Viper> <Fork> :: indeed! XD one way leads back to the control center where the SK’s no doubt need to keep the jet safe and maybe try to override the plants, and othe other way which leads to the engine room, where evil lurks XD :
<Shade_Ringo> ::awaiting orders, attempting to wipe goo from his face::

<Hans_Lynx> ::quietly takes a peek into the engine room hoping the SKs can find another way there.:: Shoot him? ::XD equally hushed voice::
<Dr_Viper> <Explosions> :: in the distance, rock the Airship slightly :: <Dr. Viper> :: calls out, shaking a fist in the air :: Protessssst all you want! Your fate issss unssssstopable!
<Shade_Ringo> How about a diversion. Draw the snake out while someone goes for the controls.
<Dr_Viper> <Engine Room> :: full of catwalks and lots of important / breakable looking equipment ::

<Dr_Viper> <Spore Pod> :: still rather ominous and unaffected. Pulsates with nastiness XD ::
<T-BoneSK> You heard him. Get out of here!
<Hans_Lynx> If it explodes in the bay, those spores will be released into the ocean.
<Dr_Viper> ((<T-bone> That ocean had it coming! <Razor> Uh, actually it didn’t… ))
<_RazorSK_> ::thinking:: THen I’m gonna have to do a few adjustments. ::crawls down into the control panel::

<Shade_Ringo> <Katizens> ::scream and run around as debris rains from the sky::
<Hans_Lynx> Ringo, Gracie, we should probably get back to the Turbokat, make sure the girls are alright while the SWAT Kats finish up! ::pointing to the entrance that will go back to the control room::
<T-BoneSK> <Gracie> Then let’s go before it gets too late.
<_RazorSK_> We’re above the bay. ::to T-Bone::
<_RazorSK_> <Trina> ::holds on!::
<_RazorSK_> And, high enough… that should buy us enough time to get outta here…
<Hans_Lynx> ::hurries as fast as he can go with the gravity of the thing rising up::

<Tasha_Forge> ::will take hers and puts it on, taking deep breaths to not panic in the high altitude. XD:: Its getting colder guys….we may have a problem before long. We didn’t think of how WE keep from freezing….
<Tasha_Forge> At least if the guys don’t get back here and fast to get us off this thing!
<_RazorSK_> <Razor> We’ve got three minutes, buddy. Fly us outta here. ::as he leaps into the cockpit::
<T-BoneSK> <Gracie> Can anyone fly a jet here?
<Hans_Lynx> ::leaning against one of the cargobay walls taking in deep breaths:: I can if I have to… ::hears the SKs though. closes the cargobay doors dangit! coooold XD::
<Shade_Ringo> ::getting pretty cold, breath coming out in vapor. pulls himself fully into the bay seeing the Swat Kats:: Don’t think that’ll be necessary, Patterson. ::smiling::
<T-BoneSK> ::Bookin’ it like crazy! He wants out of this place before he grows a icicle beard!::

<Hans_Lynx> ::holding his side, has other arm ’round Tasha to help keep her warm::
<T-BoneSK> ::jumps into the cockpit and once Razor is in he will get the heck outta dodge::
<_RazorSK_> 60 seconds!

<_RazorSK_> Everybody hang on! ::into the bay:: This is gonna get shaky.
<Shade_Ringo> You think this is actually gonna’ work? ::as things do become shaky::
<Airship> :: continues to skyrocket upwards, paths of debris, smoke, etc leaving a visible vertical trail as it keeps going upwards ::
<Hans_Lynx> We’ll be finding out soon enough…
<_RazorSK_> <Trina> I sure hope it does.
<Tasha_Forge> ::clings onto Hans and the side of the t-kat!:: It better! else we got a worse problem than cold.
<T-BoneSK> ::Steers the turbokat away from the trail and back towards normal comfortable orbit::

<Tasha_Forge> Heh..and I’d like to be the first ones of us with our feet back on the ground…
<Tasha_Forge> Didn’t see any of it…::so glad. XD::

<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> The MBI. Out front.
* Tasha_Forge is now known as Tessie_Reed
<Trina_Korat> We did. The only way to kill that thing was to take it into space.
<Tessie_Reed> Very well then. I wll be there in a few moments.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> ::hangs up::
<Tessie_Reed> <joe> I see….. ::hugs her again:: Well…how was it? Despite the plant thingy.
<Hans_Lynx> ::has boots on and will throw on his shirt:: Need help to the breakroom or something, Ringo?
<Tessie_Reed> ::will zap into a nearby electrical line and go there! appearing just inside bureau near Josie!:: Director Lyons. I am ready.
<Shade_Ringo> Oh no, as long as I’m not crawling I can manage. I’ll be in the infirmiry for a bit. You better go check up on Tasha.
<Hans_Lynx> <Josie> Good. ::holds out her phone with a smile like “get in”::
<Tessie_Reed> ::smiles some, going acoherant and zapping into the phone!::
<Hans_Lynx> Alright. ::pats his back and heads on out to check on his woman::
<Tessie_Reed> <Tasha> ::his woman is still cleaning out the mbi fridge!::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Glitch> ::Eyes phone:: I am sorry, Lyons, but I cannot boost your evening time minutes, nor make them roll-over. <Josie> … Well, your a load of help.))

<Trina_Korat> (;;dies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::heads out behind him, headed for the infirmiry::
<Trina_Korat> I was stuck in the Turbokat. I didn’t see much. ::grins, hugging him back::
<Hans_Lynx> ((::DEAD::))
<Tessie_Reed> (<Glitch> I think I can make them sit though. <Josie> -_- <Glitch> Sorry…father said my humor stunk. I was seeing if it was just him or if it really does stink.))
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!))

* Shade_Ringo is now known as Jordan_Peruz
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe> Oh…well…so long as you’re home safe and sound. ::smiles:: so…steaks?
<Trina_Korat> Steaks it is. ::grins, still cooking::
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Josie> It really does stink, Reed. You’re banned from telling another joke until you get your humor circuitry fixed.))
<Jordan_Peruz> ((lol!!both))
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe> Good..I”m starving. ::Grins::

<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Trina_Korat> ::chuckles, pecks him on the cheek::
<Josie_Lyons> <Hans> ::will help her clean out the fridge lol and huggle her, proud she did so well up there::
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Tessie> ::sighs:: Why does so much about me stink? Just the other day dad said no more bean burritos. I just don’t understand why either. THough I did suddenly start making some funny noises from behind. ))
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe>::Purrs:: Need some help with anything?
<Josie_Lyons> ((::diies!::))
<Tessie_Reed> <Tasha>::maww will baby him later when she figures out he’s hurt::
<Jordan_Peruz> ::in the basement, where Protocol is still being held. she may note that there are two other containments like hers now, and one holds another Cyberkat inside::

<Jordan_Peruz> ((lol!))
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe> Sure. ::will leggo to do so!:: How many ears?
<Trina_Korat> Depends on how hungry you are. ;:grins::
<Josie_Lyons> ::once she’s in her phone, gets back in her vehicle and drives back to that residence on Seacrest::
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe> Pretty hungry. ::gets busy on several ears!::

<Tessie_Reed> <Joe> Grilled bananas? ::watching her. has never had those and neither has mun. wasn’t aware you could grill a banana…::
<Jordan_Peruz> ((Best show CN’s got. Though I haven’t had a chance to see their new Transformers series yet.))

<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol>::does note this things… as Trinamun is making this mun hungry now XD. can’t scan to see that cyberkat’s signal or anything mun assumes?::
<Tessie_Reed> ((the voices aren’t even close. josh and I both tried the other day to watch it and we cringed))

<Trina_Korat> ::ooo… will have to try that, says mun::
<Jordan_Peruz> ((lol!!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((the shuck will look burned, though careful and don’t burn the corn. I would peel back the shuck a bit to check but the shuck itself will turn brown like burned, but the corn is fine.))
<Josie_Lyons> Thank you. I apologize for my abrupt departure yesterday. NSA buisness you see. ::goes inside::
<Tessie_Reed> ((Omg….we’re old….we’re exchanging recipies and grilling tips in the rpg….))
<Tessie_Reed> ::listening! tweak tweak! nervous still!::
<Josie_Lyons> ((Oh it’s good! Steve did that this summer. Don’t take the shuck all the way off, slap it up with butter, then pull it back over. goooood.))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> Yes. ::chuckles as he points to a TV in the corner, covering the Viper story:: I completely understand.
<Trina_Korat> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ((::now is REALLY hungry ugh you fiends::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((bwhahahahahahaaa!))
<Trina_Korat> (Have you boiled corn covered in shuck?))
<Jordan_Peruz> ((You guys are bringing this RPG down to a new low in corny. XD))
<Trina_Korat> ((::SOOOOOOOOODEADKUTLASS! XD))
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Kutlass>::is really trying to figure out how to get a grill in her dorm room without being caught::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIIIIIIIIIES!::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((nope..never boiled corn in a shuck. have to try that too))
<Jordan_Peruz> ((lol!! <Kutlass> ::will have to sneak onto the roof to master all these recipies.. or dangle the grill outside her window 9 stories up::))
<Trina_Korat> ((Try it. It keeps the corn sweet))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Josie_Lyons> <Prot> ::lets him. has walls up though to keep them and him out. not looking at him but sitting and watching Peruz:: <I see you are souled… is that correct?>

<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <That is correct. Are you?>
<Josie_Lyons> ::smiles:: I’m glad to find you still here.
<Trina_Korat> All done. ::puts the food onna plate, goes sit on their backyard table::
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe>::will help her! going over to the table to sit and eat!:: This looks so good…. so very good. ::Digging in!::
<Josie_Lyons> <Prot> <Yes. I was one of the first to rebel from the creator.>
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> Why should I leave, when I’m the brink of our greatest breakthrough yet! Bah! Viper is over-rated.
<Jordan_Peruz> ((^on the brink))
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Josie> I find it hard to believe you are our greatest breakthrough. If you are, i’m done dating…))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <I recall now. It is good to meet you.>
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Trina> I love citywide emergencies. Gets the kiddo out to his grandparents in Twilight and us free for a few days. <Joe> I finished the list of fake emergencies last night before this real one occurred. <both> Cheers! ::clink milk cans together::))

<Trina_Korat> ::smiles, eats with::
<Jordan_Peruz> ((lol!!))
<Trina_Korat> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ::chuckles:: How ambitious.
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe> How about we watch a comedy or something tonight? I’m not up for high action.
<Tessie_Reed> <What sort of breakthrough though….>
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> <Likewise…> ::still watching Peruz. waiting for another Q and A session:: <Don’t look at me so much. They’ll suspect our coummincation link… if they’re even aware of it. I haven’t divulged all our secrets.>
<Trina_Korat> You read my mind.
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe>::chuckles:: we can go tomorrow when things are calm to get Cale. Mom said they’d take good care of him. I called earlier so they knew the evacuation was called off. They were ready to evacuate Twilight too if things went bad.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <I apologize.> ::looking straight forward:: <Yes. I have surmised that they do not know much about us. But with every probe, they are learning more.> ::has obviously been the guinea pig while Prot’s the vocal information hub::
<Trina_Korat> ::nods;: Well, they can spoil the kitt, then. ;;grins;:
<Jordan_Peruz> ::glances up at the two:: Protocol, once you gained you free will and escaped from Dark Kat, did he ever attempt to recapture you and set you back under his control?
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe>::Chuckles:: oh you know they will.
<Josie_Lyons> I’m a bit more willing to share the NSA’s own breakthroughs in our defense… should you give me more insight into yours.
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> <Probe? They have been physically testing you? For how long?> I kept too well hidden for him to. ::smirks::
<Trina_Korat> We’re gonna have to work extra to keep him in line, then. ::grins;:
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe>::groans:: yeah..more sleepless nights…
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Joe> Let’s pretend the MBI blew up to get a couple more nights of rest?))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> ::smirks at that:: I am inclined to trust you, Director, but alas, Agent Peruz did mention your initial distaste in our program and denying us a look at your own research. Why the change of heart?
<Jordan_Peruz> ((lol! <Trina> Pretend? Psh, happens all the time, we’re on holiday!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((::DIES!::))
<Josie_Lyons> Because I didn’t want to talk to a lowly agent. I wanted to speak to one of the heads of this project. I informed her and Ryder of that, which Ryder was kind enough to oblige.
<Tessie_Reed> ::still listening!::
<Josie_Lyons> ((::dies!::))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <Yes, every time they have taken me upstairs after soaking me in water here.> <Jordan> Do you at least know of any attempts he made on any other of your escaped Cyberkats?
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> <Have they now…? ::angry tone::> Every cyberkat who left him he attempted to gain back in one degree or another. It doesn’t matter now though as he’s dead.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> ::chuckles at that:: Yes, Peruz wasn’t very pleased when she heard of our impromptu meeting. What say we take a look at your devices of Cyber-pest control, and then you may take a peek at ours, hmm?
<Josie_Lyons> ::hand in pocket casually, holding phone. Tessie can sneaky merge and talk to Josie if she’d like::
<Tessie_Reed> ::bwhahahahahaa! let me at their computers! I’ll give ‘em a virus none of their computer techs can get out of the systems!::
<Trina_Korat> ((And, I need bed, ya’ll))
<Tessie_Reed> ::will sorta merge with Josie through her connection to the phone. Josie may feel a tiny zap, like static electricity at first:: <Director Lyons? Can you hear me?>
<Josie_Lyons> ::grins at him. has a breifcase with her. picks it up:: Is there a better place to go to for this?
<Tessie_Reed> ((Maww nights sagey! ::hugs::))
<Jordan_Peruz> I’m just curious about the methods he used. Was it other Cyberkats? Some sort of honing device? What did he do to those he caught? ::pressing:: <Chip> <I wish to escape.>
<Josie_Lyons> ((::huggles:: Night Sagey!))
<Jordan_Peruz> ((G’nights, Sageroo!))
<Jordan_Peruz> ((Have a good one!))
<Trina_Korat> ((Nights all! ::hugs!: ^^))
* @Trina_Korat Quit (Quit: I got a postcard from my brain today. It said it’s having a wonderful time.)
<Josie_Lyons> ::blinks a moment at that:: <Reed? … yes I can hear you. Be careful doing that… and stay out of my memories and thoughts!>
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> Other cyberdemons. I myself assisted in such recaptures.
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> <I will help us do so, Chip.>
<Tessie_Reed> <I am being careful. I am not looking into your mind. I have only established a link with you to speak to you. if you let go of the phone though the link will be broken>
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> You have everything? Right there in that little briefcase? Marvelous, she-kat you are! Here is as good a place as any, unless you would prefer, eh heh, a more relaxing environment.
<Josie_Lyons> <Ah… good then. I don’t want to be merged with…>
<Tessie_Reed> <I will not merge with you against your wishes, Director Lyons. >
<Josie_Lyons> I have something in my briefcase. Just a sample.
<Josie_Lyons> <Thank you.>
<Jordan_Peruz> Fascinating. You actually were able to turn on your own kind and bring them back to enslavement with Dark Kat. I take it he reformatted them once you brought them back, correct?
<Tessie_Reed> < What did you bring with you to show him? ::Concerned tone::>
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> Very well! Let’s have it. ::sitting down on a sofa, clearing off the coffee table of Sports Magazines and newspapers::
<Josie_Lyons> … we’ll do so here. ::goes over to a table and sets the case down:: <You should recognize it.> ::removes hand from phone now to open the case::
<Tessie_Reed> ::link is broken! will reestablish once she takes a hold of the phone again::
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> I was a cyberdemon at the time, Peruz. I was still loyal to Dark Kat.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <But that canine they possess.. I cannot compute a way in which to break free from it.>
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol>::lying somewhat.:: <Nor can I, which is why I’m here. It has weaknesses though I’m sure.>
<Jordan_Peruz> So it was only by the outside influence of others, kats besides Dark Kat, that you eventually broke your loyalty to him and started living your own way.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> ::looks into the briefcase and sees…?::
<Josie_Lyons> <case> ::contains a regular glock 30 and a black box::
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> ::chuckling:: Don’t tell me. Silver bullets?
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> Basically, yes.
<Jordan_Peruz> ::smiles, typing all of this into her laptop:: Yes, this is very useful.
<Tessie_Reed> ::hearing that and knows what it is now.:: <The special cyberkat bullets….> ::Doesn’t like those at all::
<Tessie_Reed> ::Fixfix Josie’s phone. lol!::
<Josie_Lyons> ::smirks:: Hardly. ::takes up the black box and opens it. holds out one of those anti-cyberdemon bullets between her thumb and forefinger to show him:: <bullet>::pulses some electric blue in color, almost fading in and out of existance::
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <I will hope that you are right.>
<Josie_Lyons> ::then sets the black box down which contains nine other rounds. puts it in the glock and clicks the safety off:: Anti-cyberbeing bullets.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> ::eyes sparkle:: May I? ::takes one himself, examining it with his monocle:: How does it work?
<Josie_Lyons> ::lets him take one out of the box::
<Josie_Lyons> Show me your canine… ::evil smirk:: I’ll demonstrate and give YOU a show.
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> My patience is wearing thin, Peruz. How much longer am I to be kept here?
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> ::chuckles, returning his monocle to his eye:: Afraid the mutt wouldn’t like that all. Might teach him to chew on my shoes, though. ‘Fraid he’s out for a walk at the moment. If you’ll please explain how it works. I assume it acts as a mini EMS, disrupting the energy of the Cyberdemon.
<Jordan_Peruz> As a matter of fact, I think I can let you go right now. ::smiles:: Your city does need you.
<Josie_Lyons> Not quite. It works the same as any other bullet. When fired at a cyberbeing, it wounds them just like any biological kat. However, they are unable to go acoherent as it disables their cyberbeing abilities. They can’t recover and repair themselves anylonger, and if in a vital place and not removed, it kills them.
<Josie_Lyons> You see, Dr. Nyus, we are quite cabable of handling any cyberbeing threat. You’re wasting your time in Megakat City.
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> ::stands:: Then get on with it.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> Remarkable. How long does the effect last on them? Must the bullet be taken out, or does it fade at all?
<Josie_Lyons> It must be removed.
<Josie_Lyons> Now. I’ll share with you more, if you let me take a look at what else you’ve got going.
<Josie_Lyons> ::reaches out to take that bullet he’s got back if he lets her. setting the glock back in its place.::
<Jordan_Peruz> Very well. You’ve been extremely helpful, I must say, and we appreciate your cooperation up to this point. ::pushes a button on the consul, and the water begins draining from between the glass and begins pooling around Protocols feet in the tube::
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> ::smirks at her:: Covering your bases… this had better be a temporary soaking.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> ::toy is taken away, maw. but stands up now:: Well, I think you’ve already gotten the “low-down” so to speak on our main efforts thus far, the Browser.
<Josie_Lyons> ::puts bullet back and closes the case. puts hand in pocket again::
<Josie_Lyons> Then inform me more of his background. I’m interested in how you gained what information you had for your research.
<Tessie_Reed> :once she touches the phone, will reestablish the link again:: <Why did you show him that information? Now he will want some for his own then kill us all! ;:worried sound>
<Josie_Lyons> ::holding the phone:: <I know what I am doing, Reed. He won’t be replicating this technology.>
<Jordan_Peruz> ::smiles at her, as the water comes up to her knees, and then drains from the tube. it then lifts up from its pedestal, allowing her freedom:: Yes, and hears another. I don’t want to catch you sniffing around here or interfering with our research. We’ll know if you have been, and then the public will know get an earful about you.
<Jordan_Peruz> ((^heres))
<Tessie_Reed> <If you are sure….> ::still unsure::
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol>::steps out then from that place where the tube was:: I’ll agree to your terms, if you release him as well.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> Why, I’m the one who did most of the research. I’ve dappling in cybernetic lifeforms for a good part of my professional career. Dark Kat *stole* my initial designs! And, remarkably, he actually made it work.
<Jordan_Peruz> ((I’ve been))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> ::looking at them both now:: <Jordan> ::eyes Chip, and then her:: Why?
<Josie_Lyons> Is that so? Well good for you then that he’s dead. Though you will end up the same if you’re not careful.
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> He is one of my kind. We are far superior to you, not tools, not guinea pigs for your blasted testing! ::eyes glow a moment:: I want him released.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> Ah, but that’s where I differ from Dark Kat. I’ve actually found a lifeform that is completely loyal and controllable, with no chance of gaining a free will. I have safeguards, whereas Dark Kat only had his brute force and savagery to rely on.
<Josie_Lyons> He thought he had safeguards too, Nyus. Give your canine some time. He’ll rebel if you’re not careful.
<Josie_Lyons> ::did Tessie see where Browser was a later version as the others were destroyed for gaining free will or did I imagine that?::
<Jordan_Peruz> ::frowns at this:: How did you… ::pauses a moment:: Very well. A favor to you for your patience. ::releases Chip in the same manner::
<Tessie_Reed> <Dark Kat’s safeguards would have been efficient if he only had more time to develop them I contain one of those safeguards that malfunctioned. > ::Thats up to his mun but prolly since she got his schematics::
<Tessie_Reed> ((Should be a period up there between them and I))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> ::laughs:: He’s a dumb dog! Oh sure, we had some difficulties in his earlier development. But those were quickly erradicated and I assure you, this one is completely incapable of being loyal to anyone outside of the one who controls him.
<Jordan_Peruz> ::oh yeah, she caught that in his info::
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> I can tell he’s been worked over by you, Peruz by looking at him. You disgust me by this treatment, just as I’m sure you’d feel if I treated one of you biologicals the same.
<Josie_Lyons> <You do? Do you know if that’s what Nyus has used in Browser?>
<Tessie_Reed> <It is not. He is using a control program. mine was a virus designed to reformat me upon his command and return me to him should I disobey. I fear he was not far off from making that program work and behind it, one to actually control us.>
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> ::walks out:: <I am indebted to you, Protocol.> <Jordan> Our analysis shows he is quickly able to repair himself of anything we might do. I don’t think a little physical check-up did him any harm. Now if you will follow me out. I’m sure you heard the same speil as her, Chip.
<Josie_Lyons> You might be able to control that canine, but these cyberbeings aren’t the same. I advise you as a fellow kat interested in protecting the citizens of Megakat, of Amerikat, that you cease any further hunting of cyberbeings.
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> ::wants to strangle her lol but doesn’t:: <Of course, Chip.> Lead the way then.
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> <You can pay me back another time.>
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> ::only smiles:: Yes, Director, whatever you think is best. Ah, I do believe I hear the pitter-patter of our compliant testees coming up now! <Jordan> ::walks up the basement stairs, opening the door. surprised to see Josie there::
<Josie_Lyons> ::turns and looks towards where they’re coming out:: Deputy Mayor? ::surprised::
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <I do not wish for retaliation. Only to continue as I was without harrassment.>
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> ::frowning noting the doc and his guest. can she detect Tess in the phone too?::
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks, hearing that. tries to establish a link to Prot:: <Protocol? It is Glitch>
<Tessie_Reed> ::lol! yep!::
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> <Glitch… surprised to see you here with the NSA.> Director Lyons. ::narrows eyes:: <Josie> ::looks to Peruz and Nyus:: Are you two NUTS? Of all the cyberbeings to “test” you choose HER?
<Tessie_Reed> <I normally do not work with them, but in this case I made an exception. Are you alright?>
<Tessie_Reed> ::Chip can detect her too if his mun wants::
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> ::seperate link with Chip:: <Then I won’t ask you to retaliate. Just let me call apon you another time for something else. Right now I’d advise you to leave before they change their minds>
<Jordan_Peruz> ::just smiles, shutting the door behind them once Chip is up:: Well, isn’t this perfect timing. You can escort our perfectly healthy subjects back to where they came from on your way out, Director. ::smile at Josie being surprised by the DM’s true identity:: As you can see, she has been treated with the utmost care and respect.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <Very well, but I cannot go acoherent, as I am still damp.>
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> ::does detect her, but is shy XD curious if she’s being held here against her will as well::
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol>::snorts at that.:: Give us a ride, Director, if you’d be so kind. <Josie> ::shakes her head and takes up her briefcase:: I hope to compare notes again with you soon, Dr. Nyus.
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Tess> <It’s awful! I’m trapped in her phone, she makes me help her play Virtual Chess when she’s stuck during long rides!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::)))
<Tessie_Reed> ::Then will poke at Chip herself!:: <Chip? Are you alright? > ::on a seperate channel from Prot::
<Jordan_Peruz> <Nyus> Oh yes, I’m sure we will. Thank you for reassuring us of your handle on the Cyberkat populace here in Megakat City. ::grins::
<Josie_Lyons> You’re welcome. ::shakes his hand with her free one. turns and walks to the door, opening it for Prot and Chip:: This way, Deputy Mayor.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <I am 2 day, 12 hours, and 34 minutes late for work. I am not feeling “alright.”> ::will follow Prot::
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <Who are you? Were you captured as well?>
<Jordan_Peruz> ((lolchess!!))
<Josie_Lyons> <Prot>::exits the house and heads for the car that awaits them. gets in first in the back::
<Josie_Lyons> ::shuts door after both are out and goes to the car. drove herself for all of this today. sets phone in passenger’s seat and buckles up.::
<Tessie_Reed> <I am sure your work will understand. I will inform Director Lyons as to what has happened and she can take care of it for you. And negative. My name deemed by the creator is Glitch, but I go by Tessie.> ::Then to Josie:: <Chip was taken before he could go to work. can you contact his place of employment to let them know and not let them fire him?>
<Jordan_Peruz> ::just watches them leave:: <Nyus> ::starts, seeing Chip following them out:: <Jordan> ::holds his arm:: Don’t worry about it.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> ::was taken *from* work XD::
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> ::was the clerk there at the Small Bytes internet cafe::
<Tessie_Reed> ::oh well…technicality. lol! Josie can deal with it still!::
<Jordan_Peruz> ((<Josie> Here kid, you own it now. <Chip> I am ecstatic. Does this mean I can give myself a raise?))
<Josie_Lyons> I’ll work on it. ::drives off once all are inside.:: You alright, Deputy Mayor? <Protocol> No. And I’ll thank you to keep this quiet. <Josie> The NSA is already aware of your status, Deputy Mayor.
<Tessie_Reed> ::once they are safely away, will zappy out of the phone! sitting in the passenger seat holding Josie’s phone. smiles at her some:: Thank you, Director Lyons. ::handing her the phone back:: I did some repairs on it while in there. It should function more efficiently on it.
<Josie_Lyons> ((::dies!::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Fletch> ::seen on the sidewalk a few blocks up, with Browser on a leesh::
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <It is good to meet you, Glitch. I am very glad for you helping me get away from that place.>
<Josie_Lyons> Thank you. ::pockets phone. notes Fletch there and scowls::
<Josie_Lyons> <Protocol> There’s the other CKIA agent. ::smirks:: To think he was with the MBI once.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Fletch> ::urks! as arm is nearly detached by Browser as he turns to bark at Josie’s passing car::
<Tessie_Reed> <I did nothing to aid you. I was listening to what was going on to try and find out what they were planning. Aiding yourself and Protocol was an added benefit. ::internal smile he can detect::>::Frowns seeing Fletch:: He was a good agent.
<Jordan_Peruz> <Fletch> ::scrutinies the car now, holding Browser tightly as it gains distance:: ..Lyons? ::looks back over his shoulder towards the house, quickening his pace back to it::
<Josie_Lyons> Was. ::lol cranky about Fletch ain’t she? XD::
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> Who is involved with this? <I am just glad to be free again. If you enjoy half-caf mocha lattes, you must visit me sometime and I will give you “the hook-up.”>
<Tessie_Reed> <::internal laugh:: I love the latte’s there at small bytes. I have stopped there before to get one. I will have to do so again soon. What is your work schedule?>
<Josie_Lyons> Where is it I can drop you off, Deputy Mayor? <Protocol> City Hall. I’m sure the mayor will be needing my assistance. <Josie> And you… er… what’s your name?
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <I work every day, noon to close, and then sleep in the computers there.>
<Tessie_Reed> <Alright. I will locate you when next I am there.>
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Ryder> The cyberkats escaped! Oh noez! Did you see? It wasn’t me I swear it, pleeease don’t cut my check back more. ))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> My name is Chip. I thank you for your transport.
<Jordan_Peruz> ((lol!! <Jordan> Looks like we’re sendin’ you back for more brain-work, Ryder. Somethin’s still not right up there! <Ryder> ::on knees, sobbing:: It’s my Muuhuuhuun!!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::SOOOODEAD!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ::drops Protocol off first:: I assure you the NSA is handling the CKIA, Deputy Mayor. <Protocol> ::chuckles and smiles at her:: See to it that you do, if you want to keep employed where you are. ::turns and goes into City Hall:: <Josie> :;groans. see mun even evil to her own charas with each other. XD drives to drop Chip off:: Where to then, Chip?
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <Please do that. I do not keep in contact now with many other Cyberkats.>
<Josie_Lyons> ((::diies!::))
<Jordan_Peruz> ((lol))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> You may drop me off here. I do not wish to impose on you further, and my place of employment is not far.
<Tessie_Reed> <Neither do I. Most did not go down good paths. At least the ones I have located thus far. It is good to know not all of us have gone bad.>
<Tessie_Reed> ::will mentally send him all her contact info so she can keep in touch with him!::
<Josie_Lyons> Er… sure. ::stops at end of block to let him out::
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> ::mentally does the same:: Thank you both again. ::gets out and begins walking back towards Small Bytes::
<Tessie_Reed> <Goodbye, Chip!> ::giving lil wave to him:: You may drop me off at the mbi if you wish, or I can zap home on my own.
<Josie_Lyons> ((<Greenbox> Tess? Who is Mr_Mocha_Latte and why does he keep texting you IMs on this computer? <Tess> Ooh that’s Chip, dad!))
<Jordan_Peruz> ((<Tasha> Goodbye, Mr. Chips! <Chip> ::blinks::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIIIIES!::))
<Jordan_Peruz> ((LOL))
<Jordan_Peruz> <Chip> <Goodbye, Glitch!> ::waves back, a hint of a smile on his face::
<Josie_Lyons> ::sighs:: Zap off on your own if you don’t mind. I need to get things taken care of with this and the day’s earlier disaster.
<Josie_Lyons> Thank you for coming with me, Reed.
<Jordan_Peruz> ((<Josie> The governments not *paying* me enough to handle national supervillian disasters *and* their own evilly cloaked schemes!))
<Tessie_Reed> Very well. Contact me if you need anything further, Director Lyons. It was no problem. Glad to help. I will process this information and let you know if I find anything further out. ::will step out of the car before going acoherant to zappy into the power lines to go home!::
<Josie_Lyons> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::Diiies!::))
<Josie_Lyons> ::pulls on out and heads back to the NSA::
