Protocol sends a cyberdemon off to collect some items she needs. The MBI gets a call and Joe, Stormcrow and Hans go in search of the culprit to discover the cyberdemon before he escapes. Taking a list back to HQ, Joe gets Gracie to take a look and see what all might possibly be made from the items on the list. Later Joe mentions he and Trina are looking for a bigger house as they’re especting an addition to their family.

<_0021_> ::finally manages his goal, and jumps into a powerline!::
<Hans_Lynx> Whoah! Looks like it’s one of those cyberbeings.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::small hiss through teeth:: Yeah, so how do we stop it now? ::as it jumps into a powerline::
<Joseph_Forge> No clue..I don’t know how to track them in the powerlines. ::watching where it zapped in::
<Joseph_Forge> It’ll prolly be long gone by now honestly. They move fast.
<_0021_> ::stops in the line… wait did he get everything? Does a mental count…:: =__= ::Looks for another electronics store to bust into::
<Joseph_Forge> ((<Prot> UGH! I created another Glitch! ::beats::))
<StormcrowSelkirk> Well, if we can’t catch him, maybe we can at least go check what he’s stolen.
<Joseph_Forge> That sounds like a plan. Lets go. ::heading for that electronics store he stole from first::
<_0021_> ::reforms in another electrontics store and does his best to get what he needs this time.. and trying to avoid the clerk >3::

<_0021_> I am in no mood to deal with you biological. Go on with your mundane job.
<Hans_Lynx> <clerk> I’m sorry but if you don’t plan on paying for those…
<Hans_Lynx> <robbed clerk> ::fromthe first electronics store:: Good! Some law Enforcement! About time!
<_0021_> ::Jabs the clerk in the chest with a finger, aiming to shock him::

<_0021_> I hate biologicals. ::Goes sparkly again and aiming to get the heck outta dodge! looking for a easy way out::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Did you hear something? ::turns to look, sees geekyclerk stumble out the door::
<_0021_> ::zips out of the front door! HAHA try to catch me::
<Joseph_Forge> ::trying to get that list from the robbed cleark so by all means jerk him along to chase the cyberdemon if you spots him!::
<Hans_Lynx> It’s him! <Clerk> ::giving Joe a list lol then blinks seeing the guy outside:;
<StormcrowSelkirk> Captain, hold on. I need to check this out. ::out the door and hurrying across the street!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::blinks, turning and snags the list then:: thanks. be back!::chasing after the other two!::
<_0021_> ::zipping along. This must be a really stupid cyberdemon or one that doesn’t realize he’s not better than anyone else::
<_0021_> ::isn’t all sparkly XD In tom shape::
<Hans_Lynx> <Clerk> ::blinks::
<Hans_Lynx> ::goes with Joe after Storm towards that tom::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Takes off running down the street:: hey! stop right there! ::chasey chasey that cyberdemon!:: <Must be malfunctioning if he’s not going into the powerlines…>
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::spies the rather distinctive-looking tom, races after!:: Halt!
<_0021_> ::malfunctioning? Most likely yes! Stops his running, and turns to see his chasers…. frowns, attempts to go acoherant and get up to the powerlines. Guh mun should know these terms XD::
<Joseph_Forge> ::Trying to reach him before he does so but so long as he’s sparky he can’t touch him anyway so is up to his mun if he makes it away!:
<Hans_Lynx> ::lol j00 forgot my cyberkat 101 lesson! XD:: Crud!
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::growls, looks about for a source of water. Hopes if they can douse him, he won’t be able to flee::
<_0021_> ::You almost got me copper! ALMOST… is bouncy and into the powerlines::
<Joseph_Forge> Crud crud crud! ::as he gets away!:: We need a way to track these guys in the powerlines like this.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::curses to herself, tries to at least note any direction he might go. Likely can’t tell::
<StormcrowSelkirk> I know. There has to be *some* way.
<Hans_Lynx> Yeah really. ::sighs. looks to Joe:: You got that list?
<Joseph_Forge> Yeah. ::taking a look at it now::
* _0021_ is now known as Gracie
<Hans_Lynx> <list> ::is some computer type parts that one with good knowledge of computer building wouldneed::
<Joseph_Forge> Looks to be mostly computer parts.
<StormcrowSelkirk> The question is, why does he need them?
<Hans_Lynx> Let’s head back to the Bureau. Maybe see online or something.
<Joseph_Forge> Now that I don’t know. I’m not that good with computers to begin with. ::nods to Hans. will head back to his truck!::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods too, goes with::
<Gracie> ::at her desk, doing the joyfully fun thing known as paperwork::
<Hans_Lynx> ::goes with ‘em as well, gets in Joe’s truck::
<Joseph_Forge> ::gets in his truck and heads back to HQ!::
<Hans_Lynx> Hope that kat didn’t ruin the slight peace Analytical achieved for cyberbeings. :;says as he exits the truck::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::sighs:: We’ll have to see.
<Joseph_Forge> Hopefully not. ::gets out too! will head inside!:: Anyone know where to even start on this computer stuff?
<Gracie> ::Come on, find me, Joe. >3::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Not really. My best guess would be to look up what each of the parts do, and see if they match up to anything.
<Hans_Lynx> S’best I can figure too. ::goes in deskroom with ‘em::
<Joseph_Forge> ::going in there too! I’m finding you gracie! XD:: Patterson! Know anything about computer parts? ::just on a hopeful note she might. lol!::
<Gracie> If you hum a few bars I might. ::smirks::
<Joseph_Forge> ::goes over and shows her the list:: Any clue what a cyberdemon would need with this stuff?
<Gracie> (( <Gracie> … A geek easy bake oven? ))
<Joseph_Forge> ((LOL!))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dies*))
<Gracie> ::tilts her head:: You could make a variety of things with these compotents.
<Joseph_Forge> LIke what? ::pulling up a chair to sit::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::also taking a seat::
<Hans_Lynx> ((::sodead!:: <Joe> … you serious? <Storm> Maybe he likes little tiny cupcakes heated by a lightbulb?))
<Hans_Lynx> ::sitting down as well::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((*dead*))
<Gracie> Let me wrap my brain around it more. I’ll be able to give you a better answer in a few hours.
<Joseph_Forge> Alright. Get us a list of possibilities please. This stuff was stolen just a bit ago by a cyberdemon. We weren’t able to get close enough to catch him or even know if its one we know of or a rouge one.
<Gracie> Alright, I’ll do my best.
<Hans_Lynx> Thanks, Gracie.
<Gracie> Your welcome ::small smile::
<Joseph_Forge> Yeah thanks. ::getting up to leave her be with that list!::
<StormcrowSelkirk> If any questions come up, I’ll be right over here. ::is at her desk, with her own paperwork::
<Gracie> ((And I’m going to bed ladies. I’m exhausted. ))
<Joseph_Forge> ((maww nights! ::hugs::))
<StormcrowSelkirk> ((Goodnight!))
<Hans_Lynx> ((maw alrighty! ::huggles:: Night!))
<Gracie> ((Nights ::hugs:: ))
* @Gracie Quit (Quit: I’m thirsty for your love, dancing underneath the skies of Lust.)
<Hans_Lynx> ::watches Gracie go and sighs:: Things can’t be normal here can they?
<Hans_Lynx> ::grins::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::wry laugh:: I suppose not. I doubt many of us would fit in if they were.
<Joseph_Forge> Never. ::laughs.::
<Hans_Lynx> True, true.
<Joseph_Forge> At least its never dull.
<Hans_Lynx> I guess Globulous hasn’t tried for that sword anymore, Joe?
<Joseph_Forge> Not in a few days at least. Thankfully…I needed a break. Needed some sleep before I just passed out on the floor of my office.
<Hans_Lynx> ::nods. looks to Storm.:: The Pastmaster or Swytch pester you any further, Stormcrow?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::shakes her head:: Not yet, but I’m keeping my eye open.
<Joseph_Forge> The quiet before the storm it sounds like. It may all go bad all at once. Lets hope not anyway.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::small nod::
<Hans_Lynx> Yeah… don’t jinx us Joe. ::smirks::
<Joseph_Forge> ::chuckles:: sorry. ::snagging another copy of the paper off of his sister’s desk. has no clue why it’d be on her desk but it certainly hasn’t been read. lol! flipping it open to the classifieds:: You guys seen any good houses on the market?
<StormcrowSelkirk> I haven’t really been looking, so I can’t say.
<Hans_Lynx> Why do you ask? Repairs too much for yours now?
<Joseph_Forge> ::Chuckles:: no, we sorta…are gonna need a bigger house…::smirks::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Going to need a bigger house? ::hasn’t caught what he means::
<Hans_Lynx> … ::griiiiins:: Does this mean that the family is getting larger, Joe?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::now catches it, eyes widen:: Really?
<Joseph_Forge> ::smiles proudly:: It most certainly does. Trina’s a few weeks along. Thought I’d surprise her and try to find us a bigger house before we completely run out of room.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::smiles:: Wow, congratulations!
<Hans_Lynx> Yes, congrats indeed! Double the diapers, double the fun! ::snickers::
<Joseph_Forge> ::busts up laughing:: Thanks guys. It was really a surprise cause we honestly didn’t think she could have any after her injury. Guess we were wrong. Heh…explains the recent mood swings and her stomach virus..
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::small laugh:: Yeah, that would make sense. ::then gets a pondering look on her face::
<Hans_Lynx> Probably because she was concerned for Cale and wasn’t thinking about it so much anymore.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::chews on the tip of her claw a little, considering something::
<Joseph_Forge> ::laughs:: prolly so. We still have one more bedroom in the house as you know its a three bedroom, but really we could afford now to sell it and move somewhere bigger. Maybe a bit quieter neighborhood outside of the main part of megakat.
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::small nod:: I wouldn’t blame you for that.
<Hans_Lynx> Really? Think maybe Tasha and I could buy it from you? Not like we’re expanding eh heh… nowaynoway… just y’know, we like the place.
<Joseph_Forge> ::shrugs:: sure. At least I know you guys wouldn’t giveu s the boot till we find something. ::Chuckles:: I might give you a good price. ::Grins::
<Hans_Lynx> MIGHT? Gee thanks, dear BROTHER in law. Hear how he treats me, Stormcrow?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::stops chewing on her claw, laughs:: Hey, you can’t pick your relatives.
<Joseph_Forge> ::busts up laughing:: he married into the family. He shoulda known better.
<StormcrowSelkirk> True, true. ::decides to speak up:: . . . You know, your family might not be the only one that’s about to grow.
<Joseph_Forge> ::blinks:: really?
<Hans_Lynx> Oh? ::looks at her curiously::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::nods:: I was over at my mom’s last night, helping set things up for the wedding, and she asked me how I’d feel about having a sibling. ::thoughtful look:: She didn’t come right out and say anything, but she did seem really eager for me to be happy with the idea.
<Joseph_Forge> Well…definitly sounds like she might be planning for a family. Having a sibling wouldn’t be so bad, would it?
<Hans_Lynx> ::snorks:: Awww… you gettin’ a little si-
<Hans_Lynx> ::stops now at that, remembering::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::smiles now:: Yeah. I’d say if she’s not already expecting, she’s definintely planning to be soon. ::then looks up to where Hans cut off::
<Hans_Lynx> You don’t think she’s going to have Faustine… do you?
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::blinks, puzzled:: Faustine? Um, who’s Faustine?
<Hans_Lynx> You don’t remember? From that future?
<Hans_Lynx> ::lol or did she not know that Faustine was related? mun thought Dana told ‘em or something::
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::did not know! Dana only told a few, and specifically asked them not to tell Elizabeth::
<Hans_Lynx> ::whuh oh! blabbermouth Hans then XD::
<Hans_Lynx> Uh you know what? Nevermind. I think I got a bit confused and was thinking of someone else.
<StormcrowSelkirk> That future . . . ::thinks back, remembering. Hasn’t thought about that in a long time – doesn’t like to.:: Wasn’t Faustine the renegade sorceress? When I was going to read the Tome again to send us home, she took it.
<Joseph_Forge> ::listening! just taking it in! prefers to not think about that future. LOL! for obvious reasons::
<Hans_Lynx> Yeah. I thought she was your realative but I was mistaken. Probably related to Josie or someone with her ‘tude. ::snickers::
<Joseph_Forge> ::snags a highligher and circles a couple of houses:: hey Hans, you wanna go by later this evening and take a look at these? Open houses today. ::Trying to get the conversation going elsewhere. lol! since Hans is tripping up over there::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Why would you think she was my relative? Sure, we both had magic, but we didn’t look anything alike . . . ::then begins to remember what she saw of the silvery half-cheetah lady with blue eyes::
<StormcrowSelkirk> <. . . No way. If she were, Mom would have said something.>
<Hans_Lynx> I dunno… just the magic thing I guess. ::then to Joe:: Yeah, that’s fine, I can check with Tasha.
<Joseph_Forge> Good…I’d like to look while we can. ::smiles at Stormcrow:: you’re more than welcome to come too. ::Deraaaaaaaaaail this convo! lol!:;
<StormcrowSelkirk> ::shrugs, still feeling rattled:: That’s okay. I’ve got to go back to Mom’s again. The wedding’s next week, and there’s still a lot to do.
<Hans_Lynx> Sure thing. ::smiles::
<Joseph_Forge> Thats fine. I understand. Just inviting if you wanted to come. ::smilesmile!:: Anything your parents need? Trina wants to get them a gift but wasn’t sure what to get.
<Hans_Lynx> ::gets up andsiiiidles outta the room for a bit::
<StormcrowSelkirk> Well, furniture’s always welcome, and so are books. ::chuckles:: Sometimes I think we could just build furniture out of all the books we have. Or any weird quirky pieces of art you come across – Mom loves those.
