<Enzo_Katpone> RPG GO!
<Enzo_Katpone> ::goin’ to daddy’s house! or perhaps already there going over stuff?::
* Countrykat is now known as Antonio_Katpone
<Antonio_Katpone> ::either one! doesn’t matter to this mun!::
<Antonio_Katpone> ::is about ready to go back to work. only another couple of weeks. issa in some comfy slack pants and a dark red button up thats untucked and sleeves rolled up.::
<Enzo_Katpone> ::maybe already there? had to move stuff thanks to nosy Megs!::
<Enzo_Katpone> ::wearing black pin striped suit, took jacket off for awhile though. dark blue tie and wingtipped shoes. black suspenders.::
<Enzo_Katpone> I think that’s about it… we’ve covered all possible bases where that Meg might’ve saw.
<Antonio_Katpone> ::nods:: I think so too. We should double security at least for a while. Anything suspicious around our operations, lets move on it.
<Enzo_Katpone> Right. ::closing up case.:: Say… dad… you got a few more moments?
<Antonio_Katpone> Of course. ::chuckles:: Lina is still taking care of everything for me right now so I”ve nowhere else to be.
<Shades> (( <Mun>::just sitting her for the moment XD:: ))
<Enzo_Katpone> ::leans against his desk if they were in Antonio’s office:: I… kinda wanted to ask you about something…
<Enzo_Katpone> About you and mom.
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::can be available or any other mun’s charas::
<Antonio_Katpone> ::blinks:: Of course. ask away. ::sure! was in the office!::
<Antonio_Katpone> ::Ditto here!::
* Shades is now known as Maven
<Enzo_Katpone> How was it you two found the time to have Tony and me?
<Maven> ::Mun remembered something now XD. Is on his way to see Felony with… someone :P::
<Antonio_Katpone> ::blinks, clears throat :: Er…well….ah…sometimes..things happen and you….make time….
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::XD goob. has taken her sicky sniffling self to the swanky hotel room that she often stays at now when not at her lair. resting now inna bed wearing black cotton yoga type pants and black baby tee. cuddling box of kleenex XD asleep in the bedroom part of the small suite::
<Enzo_Katpone> What do you mean…? I was planned wasn’t I?
<Antonio_Katpone> ::rubs at his neck::Well…honestly? Er…neither..of you were….
<Maven> ::dressed in a black trench coat, black hoodie with faded gray torn jeans and boots. A shorter tom kat is behind him, shaggy mohawk with a dark purple hoodie and cargo pants. Almost indentical to Maven but with pale blue eyes instead of gray. Hands in his front pockets::
<Enzo_Katpone> ::blinks:: Really? So… what’d you do? How’d you run the organization like you did with both of us?
<Maven> (9 <Enzo> Wait.. we were surprises? The heck? <Antonio> Yeah… you were the ‘oops that wasn’t a gas bubble’ on the sonicagram. ))
<Enzo_Katpone> ((::dies!::))
<Antonio_Katpone> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Antonio_Katpone> ::Shrugs:: we made due. Pia stayed with you kits. I started working more from home. Really we are no different than any other kat. We work and we see our kits when we get off. You just have to make time for it. Sometimes you got emergencies and have to leave but you just plan your time accoardingly.
<Antonio_Katpone> Why all these questions? Nightshade isn’t….?
<Enzo_Katpone> ::laughs:: No no, she’s not though… we’re kinda thinking seriously about it.
<Maven> ;:unless he has a key to this room, he’ll knock on the door::
<Enzo_Katpone> Havin’ a kit that is.
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::he’s got a key. ^_^::
<Antonio_Katpone> ::chuckles:: Well..don’t let your work stop you. You are NEVER truely ready for them. It just happens and well..its a great experience. ::Smiles:: I’ll cherish those days forever.
<Maven> ::uses his key to get in, looks back at the other tom behind him:: You wake her up or tick her off… I’m kicking your tail. <smaller tom>::mocks Maven talking, even wagging a finger:: <Maven> ….. ::whacks him upside the head then walks in::
<Enzo_Katpone> ::smirks:: Well thing is, Nightshade’s more involved in the organization than mom was. Least I don’t remember mom doing the books or checking over sales or going to warehouses and all.
<Antonio_Katpone> ::chuckles:: true. but she can take time off. And we can arrange a nanny. You’ve the money to do so.
<Antonio_Katpone> and there’s always myself and Lina.
<Enzo_Katpone> <room>::issa quiet. snoring heard from back in the bedroom lol::
<Enzo_Katpone> Don’t know if I trust anyone that well enough.
<Maven> ::small smile, finally the cranky grape got some sleep:: <smaller tom>::Follows:: … Where are we? <Maven> Felony’s room, now shush. Sit down on the couch.. I have to… warm her up to you first. <Smaller tom> oh yah baby… Meet Edric.. <Maven> …. I hate you. <Edric> I know.
<Antonio_Katpone> Well…set Nightshade up to work out of your office or something. She can do books from there. Its not that hard. Point is, one of you have to give if you chose to have kittens. You make the choice to bring them into the world, you best be prepared to take care of them. Its not a game, not something to toss aside. Sacrifices WILL be made. It could be Nightshade giving up some of her work. ::won’t hear to his son doing that!::
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::lol that punk better not flirt with me! XD::
<Maven> <Shades>::she would be willing XD::
<Maven> <Edric>::plunks down on the couch:: <Maven>::heads towards the back bedroom…. leans over the bed and will give Felony’s ear a smooch::
<Enzo_Katpone> Well… heh… she was the one who initially brought the idea up. She-kats and their ticking biological clocks I guess. ::chuckles::
<Antonio_Katpone> ::Chuckles:: It happens. I know Pia was getting there when we found out she was having you.
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony>::snorks awake at that, swinging the box of kleenex at the kisser lol then realizes it’s Maven:: Maven…? What are you doin’ here?
<Maven> Hello Felony.. I kind of… need to tell you something…
<Enzo_Katpone> I hope you both were happy when I came along. ::smirks::
<Antonio_Katpone> of course! Of course. We were very happy. It wasn’t planned no, but we were excited. ::smiles fondly:: Pia especially. She just seemed to glow with excitement all the time. Save at three am when she had me going to Katdonalds to get her a Big Mac. ::smirks::
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::sits up and stretches. yawns some and scratches her side:: What is it? ::wipes nose with a kleenex then blows it XD how beeeyuuuutiful she is! XD::
<Maven> (( <Pia> I want a Big Mac with A1 sauce on one side and Arby’s sauce on another… with Ice cream on top! <Antonio> …. you creep me out. ))
<Antonio_Katpone> ((::DIIIIIES!::))
<Enzo_Katpone> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Maven> …. Your remember asking me about Carrie?
<Enzo_Katpone> Oh crud… forgot about THAT part of bringing kits into the world. Nine months of terror…
<Maven> (( <Shady> What about for me? I have to buy new clothes for that nine months and not wear heels! Unless I have a death wish?! ))
<Antonio_Katpone> ::laughs:: its not ALL bad. Just parts of it. ::grins:: She’ll be moody some and she’ll have weird cravings but you laugh about it later. Best parts are those firsts. The first time you hear the heartbeat and the first pictures you see. Those are the good time.
<Antonio_Katpone> (((^times))
<Antonio_Katpone> ((LOL!))
<Maven> She… apparentally failed to tell me somethings…
* Kutlass has joined
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> … do huh? ::smooths her messy hair down some. then remembers as things slowly gettin’ less foggy from the cold meds she took hours ago that helped her sleep:: Carrie… that tattoo girl of yours. ::meaning the tattoo of her name on his arm:: Yeah, what about her? You woke me up to tell me more of her now? ::scowls::
<Enzo_Katpone> ((Hey Kutlass!))
<Kutlass> ((Heyas, everybody!))
* Enzo_Katpone sets mode: +o Kutlass
<Antonio_Katpone> ((hey Kutlass! ::tackles!::))
<Maven> ::sighs:: …. No.. I woke you up to tell you I have custody of the son I fathered she failed to tell me about.
<Antonio_Katpone> <Tessie>::is available as is any of the muns’ other charas if needed, Kutlassmun!::
* Kutlass is now known as Browser
<Enzo_Katpone> Heh, you really are a sentimental guy, aren’t ya dad? ::smiles::
<Antonio_Katpone> Shhhh, don’t tell anyone. ::grins:: It doesn’t hurt so long as you are only that way around those you trust most. The rest of the world needs to believe you haven’t got a heart at all.
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::just stares at him a moment:: … you have a what…?
<Maven> I have a son, by Carrie.
<Enzo_Katpone> ::laughs a bit:: Hey… I’m glad you are such a family guy. I didn’t think I’d get a second chance to make up for my stupidity.
<Maven> The State of Kalifornia has had custody of him for two years, I have to do the paperwork to have custody of him…. But I wanted you to meet him before I decided on what to do about him.
<Browser> <Scratching> ::can be heard from the front door of the Greenbox house::
<Enzo_Katpone> <Greenbox> ::as usual isn’t home lol he’s busy at Puma-Dyne y’know XD::
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> Meet him? ::groans and gets outta bed:: When?
<Antonio_Katpone> Well..you’re my son. Thats whats most important right now. we have to stick together. I trust you won’t find a reason to betray me again?
<Antonio_Katpone> <Tessie>::perks ears at the door! frowning some:: <What…is that? > ::Getting up to go to the door and open it up! checking outside to see what it is!::
<Maven> … he’s probably asleep now in the living room ::uneasy chuckle::
<Enzo_Katpone> Of course not. There wasn’t a reason really last time… other than me coming to conclusions.
<Maven> (( <Browser> FEED ME! ))
<Browser> ::when the door is opened, jumps forward! appears to have something in its mouth::
<Antonio_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Browser> ((lol!! <Browser> I smell bacon!))
<Enzo_Katpone> ((::dies!:: <Browser> ::prints out a little paper that comes out of his mouth:: <Tessie> ::takes it, reads “Beggin Strips and Snosages ASAP”::))
<Antonio_Katpone> ::smirks:: Trust me…I love Nightshade like a daughter. I wouldn’t dream of leaving Lina for Nightshade.
<Maven> (( <Browser> Bacon bacon bacon BAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN ))
<Antonio_Katpone> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Browser> ((lol!))
<Enzo_Katpone> ((LOL!))
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> You brought him HERE?!
<Maven> (( <Shady> You’re too old for me Antonio. Sides, that would be werid leaving Enzo to date his Father. ))
<Antonio_Katpone> <Tessie>::Screams! scrambling back and forms a ball out of energy:: Get back! I swear I will kill you!! ::paniced!::
<Antonio_Katpone> (LOL!))
<Enzo_Katpone> ((LOL!))
<Enzo_Katpone> I know, I know. Lina’s… really been good to you, hasn’t she?
<Maven> I had no choice in the matter! He was living in a foste care center! You think I wanted him to be stuck there? being bumped from family to family and abandoned when he isn’t like them?
<Enzo_Katpone> ((<Protocol> That’s the spirit Tess! ^_^))
<Browser> ::once inside, stands to his full height on four feet, eyes flash blue as he looks around inside. drops what appears to be a watch on the floor, then begins sniffing, moving towards wherever the computer in said house might be::
<Antonio_Katpone> ::fond smile again. same one he uses when talking about Pia:: She has. She takes such good care of me and of this organization. Her devotion to our family and our organization really has been amazing. While she’s not your mother and never will be, she’s really still special to me.
<Maven> (( <Browser> I am a anti bacon and tasty snack radar… I will eat anything that is tasty for dogs and leave the rest for you. ))
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::sighs:: Fine then, I see your point. ::had to stay in a few of those herself:: How old is he? What’s his name? ::looking to the door now::
<Antonio_Katpone> <Tessie>::blinks as he’s not attacking. reabsorbs the energy ball and goes over to pick up the watch:: Browser? What…are you doing? <Computer>::is there in the kitchen on a table. several of ‘em actualy. one in particular is on and in good repair!::
<Browser> ((lol!))
<Maven> his name is Edric Long. He’s almost thirteen years old.
<Antonio_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!:))
<Enzo_Katpone> Nightshade and I are looking forward to Italy. ::notes that look and smiles a little too:: You sure you’ll be able to go after that surgery of yours?
<Browser> <Watch> ::upon closer inspection, appears to be much more advanced than any ordinary watch. has a bit of red liquid smeared on its band:: <Browser> ::once finding the computer in the kitchen, goes acoherent and leaps inside::
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::goes to the door now to look in the other room at the kit::
<Antonio_Katpone> Of course! I only have a couple more weeks to go and I’m cleared for full work again. I’ll be fine.
<Maven> <edric>::indeed, he is asleep on the couch there, looks like he just flumped on there to be comfortable.. and ended up falling asleep::
<Antonio_Katpone> <Tessie>::frowns at the red liquid, trying to determine what it is as she goes in there. notes him going acoherant and going to her computer. takes a seat and will try and communicate with him via the microphone:: Browser? What are you doing?
<Enzo_Katpone> How’re you gonna get past metal detectors? ::smirks::
<Antonio_Katpone> ::Smirks:: Lina is going to make me a special medical card that states I have metal implants that can set off detectors. It’ll get me through them. ::as mun’s dad has one of those cards. lol!::
<Maven> ::so does this mun’s dad XD::
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::tail swishes. turns to look back at Maven:: Well least now I know where you’ve been all this time… ::runs fingers through her hair some:: Why didn’t she tell you about him?
<Antonio_Katpone> ((::Snorks:: threaten to sell him for spare parts when he dies like my mom does my dad. XD))
<Browser> <Liquid> ::upon scan, can be identified as blood:: <Browser> ::opens a chat box on the screen, and type begins to appear:: “Glitch, my Master sent me to deliver a message for you.”
<Enzo_Katpone> ((::dies!::))
<Maven> She thought I would be a bad influence on him. But apparentally before she died her husband confessed he knew Edric wasn’t his.
<Browser> ((lol))
<Antonio_Katpone> <Tessie>::Frowns more at the blood then notes the message.:: Please, tell me the message then.
<Enzo_Katpone> Ah I see. She’s definately got you covered then.
<Browser> <Browser> “He stored the message in this audio file.” ::uploads said audio file, bringing it up in a folder so Tessie may see it. contains some other files there as well::
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::snorks:: Wonder what she’d have to say about me? ::grinning and goes out now into the suite to the small fridge there. gets out a bottle of water::
<Maven> <Edric>::mumbled in his sleep:: no…. I don’t want easy cheesy in my pockets……
<Enzo_Katpone> ((<mp3> ::plays “Another One Bites the Dust”:: <Tess> O_o; ))
<Browser> ((LOL))
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::takes a drink. needs to order s’more alcoholic beverages for up here lol to handle this. smirks at Edric:: He already looks like a little punk.
<Antonio_Katpone> ((::DIIIES!::
<Antonio_Katpone> <Tessie>::clicks in that audio file!::
<Maven> He’s a little pud. I’m not entirely sure if I like him or not. He’s like you, but younger, more hard headed and more of a addiction to shooting games. and a boy.
<Antonio_Katpone> Yeah she does….she takes good care of your old man. More than you know. ::sighs happilly: She’s really been a great addition around here.
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::looks at him slyly:: Wanting me to babysit are you?
<Maven> =__= No. ::goes over and pokes Eddie with a foot:: <Eddie>::whacks the foot away::
<Enzo_Katpone> ::chuckles and shakes his head:: Alright… this convo’s gettin’ too mooshy for me now. ::grins:: Thanks for the talk, Dad.
<Antonio_Katpone> ::chuckles:: Alright. You’re welcome. Anything you guys need let me know. I’m here to help you guys out.
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> Good, because you know I’m too busy for that. ::whistles loudly using two fingers:: HEY EASY CHEESY! WAKE UP! ::XD::
<Enzo_Katpone> Thanks, I will. You sure you’re alright and all still? ::takes up his case he brought with::
<Maven> <eddie> O_O ::promptly falls off the couch and onto the floor with a thud::
<Antonio_Katpone> ((<Felony> no no..thats now how you wake him up. ‘EY! WE”LL LET YOU BORROW THE CAR! <Edric>::awake!:: you will?! <Felony> Nope…::Smirks))
<Antonio_Katpone> I’m sure. Lina will be home soon anyway. I think I’ll go lay down and rest a bit for now.
<Enzo_Katpone> ((<audiofile> ::has flash video too:: <Fletch> Help me Tessie One Katoni! You’re my only hope.))
<Antonio_Katpone> ((::DEAD!::))
<Browser> <Audio> ::is a little staticy, but sounds like its Fletch:: Tess, this is Ryder. I’m sending Browser with this message because I’m about to try something really desperate and stupid. Things are far more serious than I realized concerning this project. Peruz and Dr. Nyus are no longer working under CKIA orders, they’ve gone rogue.
<Browser> ((lol!!))
<Enzo_Katpone> <Felony> ::chuckles at that and sips s’more water:: Get up, kid. Don’t go droolin’ all over the carpet.
<Antonio_Katpone> ::Frowning, holding that watch tightly:: <Oh dear…> ::watching!::
<Enzo_Katpone> Sure thing. ::pats his old man onna shoulder and exits the office and soon the manor::
<Maven> <Eddie>::gets up and shakes his fist at Felony:: Who the heck do you think you are woman?! I happen to LIKE sleeping!
<Antonio_Katpone> ::will get up and head upstairs to get some rest!::

<Felony_K> *I’M* the one paying for this suite, that’s who. ::walks over towards him to look the kid over:: My name is Felony, and you keep yellin’ at me, I’ll use you for a pin cushion. ::pulls out one of her throwing knives from under a nearby hiding place::
<Felony_K> <Protocol> ::uh huh, yeah I see how it is. XD::

<Felony_K> ::once Mave is gone, quickly gets up and goes over to Eddie.:: Hold still or I’ll break you in two. ::searches the kid for weapons or anything lol::
<Maven> <Eddie>::doesn’t move. All she’ll find is a PSP handheld game thingo XD and some games::
<Felony_K> <Protocol> <Then get out of him and let me! I brought a biological back to life once, I can repair him.>
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Fel> ::Finds none so hands him several:: can’t be too careful ya know. <Eddie> COOL! I love you mommy! ::Hugs!:: <Maven>::comes back:: Well now..this is a change…))
<Felony_K> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Felony_K> ::finishes not finding anything, had piled the videogame and games on the sofa next to him. turns and walks from him now to start collecting alla her weapons hidden about the room:: You in school?

<Tessie_Reed> <He’s safe. Just tell me where they went!> ::paniced she is! wants to find them before they lose him. is trying desperately to fix his wounds!:: <GIve me one moment…I need to know where they left to.>
<Maven> <Eddie> Yeah, Maven said he was going to work on getting me transferred to MKC.
<Fletch_Ryder> <No.. Browser can find..>
<Felony_K> <Protocol> <Go acoherent as well as his body. It’s easier that way and faster. Also, forget trying to talk with him about what went on. Pull his memories on it. This isn’t the time to play nice and be respectful.>
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks:: <okay..I understand. here..protocol is going to help you. she can save you. just let her work.> ::Will zappy out:: Okay, he’s all yours. please…hurry. ::Frowning, looking at that watch and will study it a moment before calling browser to her!::
<Felony_K> <Protocol>::figuring that’s what she’s doing XD based on how the other goodies act XD::
<Maven> (( I’m having problems staying awake ;___; ))
<Felony_K> I see. ::then pauses in her work. doesn’t want to show the kid how much he’s packin’… he might ask questions:: Why don’t you go in the bedroom and watch TV for awhile?
<Fletch_Ryder> <Browser> ::wakes up from sleep mode, maw, almost had that squirrel this time! zaps through the powerlines, headed for the Seacrest house::
<Felony_K> ((she’s packin’^))
<Maven> <Eddie> Okay. ::will go do that then XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ((maww go to bed hon! ::hugs::))
<Felony_K> ::there now yer mun can sleep XD::

* Felony_K is now known as Protocol
<Tessie_Reed> I have Browser on his way. If you’ll take care of Ryder, Protocol, I’ll keep you updated on where I am while he looks for where they went to. We need to find them and fast.

<Fletch_Ryder> ::vital signs critical:: <Browser> ::zaps into the house upstairs, then trots down to the basement, wagging tail at Glitch::
<Protocol> ::also pulling at recent memories of what happened in this room which resulted in Ryder’s condition. repairing wounds simultaneously though mostly concentrating on his shoulder wound::
<Tessie_Reed> ::smiles some at Browser, still a bit aprehensive of him but will trust him on this one:: Okay boy, can you find where the other ones are at? Hmm? Show me where Peruz and Nygus are?
<Fletch_Ryder> <Memories> ::cut scenes showing slinking down a hallway, and looking into a room where a restrained, drenched Chip is fitted with a collar similar to that of Browsers::

<Protocol> ::now knows how Tessie became aware of this. XD::

<Protocol> ::ponders over this as she accesses his memories no further. continuing the repairs hoping Tess can make way with that cyberpooch::
<Tessie_Reed> ::Frowns:: oh come on..surely you can find them? ::Then thinks:: What about Chip? Can you find Chip?

<Fletch_Ryder> ((LOL))
<Protocol> <Any luck with Browser?> ::not noting what’s going on outside as she’s concentrating here so much::
<Fletch_Ryder> ((<Browser> ::zaps into a tree, pulling out a small chipmunk in its mouth, wagging tail:: <Tess> ::smacks forehead:: I guess I should be more specific..))
<Tessie_Reed> <I think he’s tracking Chip. He just zapped into a camera here. If he does not return soon, I will zap in after him and track him>

<Protocol> <Yes, Protocol. Relax, I’m repairing your systems while Glitch goes with Browser to locate Chip.>

<Protocol> ::getting the info Tess sends::
<Fletch_Ryder> ::feels all glowy, and his body less numb. genuinely surprised by this:: <..I’m thankful. I don’t deserve your help.>

<Fletch_Ryder> <Browser> <”One moment please.”> ::going back and forth in the alleyway, the strong, putrid scent no doubt messing with his sensors, maybe Tessie’s as well XD::

<Fletch_Ryder> ::all the holes are patched and the punctured arteries repaired, still in need of a lot of blood though, so will be very weak:: <I should’ve done more.. should’ve stopped all this before it had a chance to even begin. I haven’t aided anyone.>

<Protocol> ::has Fletch go solid now and she zaps out of him. stands:: Should have, could have, would have blah blah blah. You’re biological. Imprefection isn’t something to beat yourself up over, you can’t help it. ::smirking. kneels down to help him stand::
<Tessie_Reed> ::eyes widen as he does!:: <Be careful! you could get hit by a car! take your time!> ::hurrying after him! waiting till its safe to go across!::
<Fletch_Ryder> ::once solid, feels very light-headed and weak. accepts Prot’s help to stand, probably needing to lean heavily on her as he staggers to his feet:: I need to get to the MBI. They can help.

<Tessie_Reed> Sorry! sorry! ::giving a small wave as she chases after! There isn’t time for a leash! chasechase!::
<Protocol> I’ll take us there. Is there a vehicle nearby of yours? Seems your pals took off with theirs in a hurry. ::moves him so to where he’s behind her. lifts him up to where she’ll piggy back him up the stairs and out of the house XD cyberkat strength!::
<Fletch_Ryder> <Sidewalk> ::is heavily trafficked by pedestrians, having just gotten off work:: <Browser> ::getting farther ahead and harder to see in the crowd::

<Tessie_Reed> <Browser, send your location to me via GPS. I can’t see you in this crowd.>
<Fletch_Ryder> ::trying not to be completely dead weight XD hates being carried, but sucks it up:: No. My car’s still at my old place.

<Protocol> ::hope no one saw the deputy mayor steal a car XD::
<Fletch_Ryder> ::lying across the backseat, too weak to hardly event sit himself up. hit those breaks too hard, and will be joining you up front XD::

<Tessie_Reed> ((<Protocol>::holding Fletch in her lap now:: HOW many times do I have ot tell you to not ride in the back window?!))

<Tessie_Reed> Negative! There is a free! Like me! ::Then to Browser:: <Browser, can you locate the master of Chip? Whoever is controlling him?>
<Tessie_Reed> You do not have to listen to anyone but yourself! ::to Chip. doesn’t want to harm him if she can help it.::

<Tessie_Reed> <Then attempt to merge with him and capture him. See if you can track the signal then.>

<Fletch_Ryder> <Chip> ::as they enter the SUV, zaps out into a passing sportscar. playing a little leap frog::

<Protocol> ::gets up, coughing a bit, soaking wet with salty sea water. turns towards the docks where Tess ‘n co are. eyes narrow at the boat. starts walking towards::
<Fletch_Ryder> <Nyus> ::tied, hope you had a lot of rope to get around him XD::
<Tessie_Reed> <Destroy the collar. By whatever means necessary. We have Nyus and Peruz> ::standing up and notes the divers, though doesn’t dare dive in right now. would be defensless against them once wet. lol! She stole some off the dock. usually lots laying around XD::
<Protocol> ((<Tess> Ew! Bad dog, bad! I just bought these shoes!))
<Fletch_Ryder> <Car> ::as its flaming remains finally go under, a small trail of bubbles can be seen heading from the wrecksite towards the boat::
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Fletch_Ryder> ((Lol!))
<Protocol> ::nears the docks. sees Tess tying up Nyus. looks out again at the activity in the water::
<Tessie_Reed> :::making sure Nyus is good and tied up! contacting the enforcers about this! ::
<Fletch_Ryder> <Boat> ::side shows the name as being “The Sea Ghost.” the divers seem to board on the opposite side facing away from the dock, as the boat starts up and speeds farther out into the bay::
<Tessie_Reed> ::perks ears at the boat and frowns:: <Protocol, did you get Peruz?>
<Fletch_Ryder> <Chip> <I am not touching it. ::sounding very upset::>
<Protocol> ::makes note of that, hoping they find Peruz in more than one piece, bwhahahahaha hahahaha ha ha hahahaha- ahem.:: <Yes and no. Where are Chip and Browser?>
<Fletch_Ryder> ((<Prot> Er, uh, shucks, she died! Now how could that’ve happened? ::innocent grin::))
<Tessie_Reed> <Alright. I will destroy it. come to these cooridnates. ::Sending him the cooridinates to come there to the dock! then to Browser:: <Browser, retrieve the collar and return to me.>
<Tessie_Reed> <They are on their way here I hope. I just sent them our location.>
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Protocol> ((::dead!::))
<Fletch_Ryder> <Browser> ::picks up the collar, looking over at Chip before going acoherent and zapping to the docks:: <Chip> ::eyes twitching, rubbing his arm, turns and zaps into the powerline::
<Protocol> ::looks down at Nyus. he conscious?::
<Fletch_Ryder> <Nyus> ::X_x all his fat only cushioned his torso, not his head::
<Tessie_Reed> ::sighs, looking at the controller in her hand:: I will destroy this properly once I am home. Dismantle it and melt down the parts so no one can recreate it from this.
<Protocol> No.
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks, looking over at Protocol:: Excuse me?
<Protocol> It should be given to the MBI for evidence.
<Fletch_Ryder> <Browser> ::appears at the dock, trotting up to Tessing and sitting at her feet. has collar dangling between his teeth::
<Tessie_Reed> ::Frowns:: True…once I ensure it will not operate properly anymore then I will do so. I just don’t want it falling into the wrong hands. :: then notes Browser and will take the collar from him:: thank you, Browser. Good boy. ::Rubs his head gently before eying that collar::
<Protocol> Don’t disable it either! We need to learn from it so that we can program countermeasures to defend ourselves should they put one of those on us.
<Fletch_Ryder> <Browser> ::eyes close under her pet, tail thumping against the boards of the dock::
<Tessie_Reed> Fine! but I will not let it fall into the wrong hands! ::scared tone about the matter:: <Chip? You coming here?> ::Since Browser is there and he hasn’t made it::
<Protocol> Then give it to the MBI and have them keep hold of it. Or you could give it to me now.
<Fletch_Ryder> <Chip> <Yes, I am here.> ::zaps out of the powerline he was waiting in. sulks up to them, eyeing the collar::
<Tessie_Reed> No. I will give it to the MBI. ::isnt giving it to prot. lol! then looks at chip:: You alright?
<Fletch_Ryder> <Chip> Will the MBI destroy it? ::catching the tail end of their convo::
<Protocol> Not immediately. We’ll learn to defend ourselves from it first. ::looks down at Nyus again. gives him a swift kick to the side lol::
<Fletch_Ryder> <Nyus> ::oof! he’ll feel that one in his dreams! almost rolls off the edge of the dock though, at that kick XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::nods:: yes, we will find ways to keep ourselves from being victims of it. It can be used as evidence against Nyus and Peruz, then they can destroy it. ::Reaches over to pat Chip’s shoulder:: Its over, okay? They won’t come for you again. ::warm smile::
<Fletch_Ryder> <Chip> There is no defense. It is complete and calculating! It must be destroyed now. ::reaches for it::
<Protocol> ::kneels down to keep ol’ tubbo from rollin’ off. XD:: No no, dear doctor… someone’s going to stay alive long enough to be punished for all of this… ::quietly to Nyus. then mrrs and glares at Chip:: NO! Leave it alone! Go back to your home, we’ll handle things from here, Chip.
<Tessie_Reed> ::Pulls it back:: Calm yourself, Chip. I’ll make sure its taken care of. Promise.
<Fletch_Ryder> <Chip> ::eyes still twitching, teeth clenching:: *Nothing* like that should be allowed to exist! Or *that*! ::pointing to Browser now:: What gave them the *right* to do this to me?
<Tessie_Reed> Nothing did. Nothing at all. That is why Nyus will be put in jail for it. Just like a biological kat that wrongs another biological. Browser….he only follows the orders of those controlling him. Like you were doing with the collar on. So its not his fault. No more than any of this was yours.
<Protocol> ::smiles now and stands, turning to full face him:: <That’s whot biolgicals do to those they know are far superior to them, Chip.>
<Fletch_Ryder> <Chip> ::looking from Tess to Chip:: I have had enough of these biologicals. They are.. they are no better than Dark Kat! Always seeking power, always trying to put under their foot anything they do not understand.
<Fletch_Ryder> ::er, ^Prot, can’t look at himself XD::
<Protocol> <That’s what all biologicals will wish on our kind when we’ve done nothing to them but exist. They can’t be trusted, none of them. Cyberkats like Glitch fail to see this.> Calm yourself, Chip.
<Tessie_Reed> Thats not true, Chip. Just look at us. Some of us are bad, and some good. Biologicals are the same way. You should come meet my dad. ::smiles:: he’s a very nice tom. He never would hurt you. Nor would those at the MBI. I know lots of biologicals that wouldn’t hurt you.
<Protocol> <Listen to her comparing us to biologicals. She’s been tainted, her programming askew. Why else is her nomenclature “Glitch”?> ::smiling evil like. hands behind her back folded. calm and collected:;
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Chip> Because she can cause a glitch in computers? <Prot>……….never thought of that….))
<Fletch_Ryder> <Chip> ::backing up now, balling his fists, raising them to his head as he grabs at his scalp:: I cannot handle their paradox any longer. ::turns and zappies into the nearest powerline::
<Protocol> ((::Dies:: <Prot> Don’t argue with me using logic!))
<Tessie_Reed> <Chip! Please! come back!> ::Pleading sound!::
<Fletch_Ryder> ((lol!!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::DIIES!::))
<Protocol> ::watches him go:: Let him go. He needs time to think and calm himself.
<Fletch_Ryder> <Chip> ::cuts communication link::
<Fletch_Ryder> <Browser> ::starts at Chip zapping off, was told to fetch XD::
<Tessie_Reed> ::internal frown now. sighs and will always leave that connection on just in case he contacts her again. nods to protocol. notes the enforcers getting there:: Browser, come with me. leave Chip alone.
<Fletch_Ryder> <Browser> ::halts, turning his head back around to look at her. then sits and begins scratching his ear::
<Protocol> I’ll handle the Enforcers. My position has its pull and perks. ::chuckles and winks:: Best get to the MBI to be sure Ryder is alright.
<Protocol> And to get that collar and remote to safety.
<Tessie_Reed> ::nods:: okay. I will. Thank you for your help. ::small smile:: I…might help you with your attempt to come forward with who we are. I still am discussing it with dad. ::then to Browser:: Browser, come. ::patting her leg and will walk off! heading down the street to get away from the area!::
<Fletch_Ryder> <Browser> ::looks up, tongue lulling out as he trots after her::
<Protocol> Of course. ::nods to her and watchs as they go. turns now to the Enforcers to explain the situation::
