MBI Agents go to Puma Dyne for options and Agent Ringo has an epiphany for how to go about pursuing Dark Kat.
<Tessie_Reed> ::so lets see! is at her desk doing some catch up work!::
<Pixel> ::is… somewhere! at the MBI! sweeping halls… makes way to deskroom::
<Jason_Korat> ::good to see ya’ll doing some work! XD::
<Tessie_Reed> :: ;P!!!!!!!!!! ::
<Pixel> ::sees Tess in thar at her work. takes in a breath and exhales. don’t be nervous… goes over to her desk and smiles:: Agent Reed?
<Tessie_Reed> ::looks up and blinks, then frowns slightly:: What are you doing here?
<Pixel> I work here now… they have allowed me to do a trial run as the janitorial staff. ::looks like herself, not Protocol too btw. but Tess can pick up her signature and all as she not hiding it::
<Tessie_Reed> ::okies! mun couldn’t remember if they’d met since she started looking like herself again or not. :: I see. ::going back to her paperwork::
<Jason_Korat> ((<Tess> Oh, I can pick it up, alright! It’s FORGED!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((LOL!))
<Pixel> ((LOL!))
<Pixel> I… hope you do not mind… I am glad that there is another cyberkat who works here. ::still smiling::
<Tessie_Reed> why is that? ::signing her name to something.::
<Jason_Korat> ((<Tessie> :;sighs:: “I hereby authorize UR DOOM! @_@”))
<Jason_Korat> ((*signs))
<Pixel> Because I never knew anyone else like us save for my parents.
<Pixel> ((LOL!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((LOL!))
<Tessie_Reed> Trust me…you aren’t missing anything.
<Pixel> I’m not? Why do you say that?
<Tessie_Reed> ::Sighs, looking up at her:: because. Every one of our kind either does not have a soul, are evil just like the creator, or will abandon you and go their own seperate way in the end. So our kind is not all that great. We are weapons that just happen to have feelings.
<Pixel> ::smile fades some:: Not all of them will abandon you…
<Tessie_Reed> They all have so far. I learned to just forget them and move on Biologicals seem to be the more faithful kind anyway.
<Kutlass joined the chat room.
<Jason_Korat> ((Kutlass!))
<Kutlass was promoted to operator by you.
<Pixel> ((hey Kutlass!))
<Kutlass> ((Hey peops!))
<Pixel> My parents never abandoned one another… or me… ::ears droop:: And… I wouldn’t abandon them or anyone else?
<Kutlass is now known as Shade_Ringo.
<Tessie_Reed> ((Hey Kutlass))
<Tessie_Reed> Well lucky you. ::lol! yes does not like her kind too well::
<Pixel> ::you anti-cyber-ite! XD:: At least you like biologicals some… ::continues sweeping up the deskroom again::
<You are now known as MASA_Representative.
<Jason_Korat> ((::mun dies, read “Anti-Bud-Lite”))
<Tessie_Reed> ::LOL! she is!:: Well at least a biological took me in and gave me a home and didn’t leave me.
<Pixel> ((::snorks!::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((LOL!!))
<MASA_Representative> :: has emailed Shade his requested info, that there is indeed an option traveling past the planet’s orbit toward the moon at hight speed, though there’s nothing they can do other than observe as it has too much of a head start it seems ::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Pixel> Did I come back too far? Is this prohibition?))
<Pixel> … so… what cyberkat has abandoned you?
<Pixel> ((LOL!))
<Shade_Ringo> ::is in the computer lab, checking on that. glad he’s able to use his email uninterrupted this time XD:: Hmm… ::FWD’s this email to Jase::
<Tessie_Reed left the chat room. (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<MASA_Representative> ((object^))
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Tess> I’m abandoning myself, at the moment.))
<Pixel> ((<Pixel> HRMPH you seem to be worse than anyone else, you abandoned me in this conversation!))
<Pixel> ((LOL))
<Shade_Ringo> ((XD!!))
<Jason_Korat> ((BRB. ))
<Jason_Korat> ((:dies!::))
<Pixel> ((<Shade> ::after reading email, goes to close it when a lil’ ET appears and says:: RINGO PHONE HOME. RINGO GO HOME. ::finger glows:: ))

<Tessie_Reed joined the chat room.
<Shade_Ringo> ((WB!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((Ugh! sorry guys. IT started pouring rain all of a sudden and knocked me offline))
<Tessie_Reed> ((Someone pm me the lines I missed?))
<MASA_Representative> ((wb))
<Tessie_Reed was promoted to operator by Pixel.

<Tessie_Reed> ((::Diiiies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::after sending email, makes the trek over to consult Jase about it::
<Pixel> … so… what cyberkat has abandoned you?
<Jason_Korat> ::finishes reading it buy the time Ringo stops by::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Tess> His name was Atari, and he just became too obsolete…))
<Tessie_Reed> ::getting irritated. LOL!:: Oh lets see…I’ve not seen none of the first cyberkats that were created around the time I was in a long time. Your…mother…well…I think you see what she’s done. Another has gone bad as well. And one of the later ones got rather irritated at me when I figured out who he was and tries to help out when things didn’t go well for him. ::Chip. XD:: and the others I’ve not seen in a very long time.
<Tessie_Reed> ((LOL!))
<Pixel> ((::dead;:))
<Pixel> Perhaps… they too just found other places in the world? ::sheepish look::
<Shade_Ringo> ::knocks on his door:: Hey Korat, you get my email?
<Jason_Korat> ((DEAD!!!))
<Jason_Korat> ((Tess> It’s okay, tho’… Nin Tendo Wii has made things better.))
<Jason_Korat> Just did.
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol! <Tess> He’s more fit! And easier to handle.))
<Tessie_Reed> Yes well…I’d term that as abandoning others that you knew, especially when you don’t communicate with one another any longer.
<Tessie_Reed> ((LOL!))
<Shade_Ringo> What do you think?
<Pixel> ((LOL!))
<Jason_Korat> ((::dies!::))
<Pixel> There’s always email… or the spacebook…?
<Jason_Korat> ::folds his hands in front of his mouth, thinking::
<Tessie_Reed> ::Shakes head:: You do not understand. They do not communicate at all. I do not know how this future you know of is, but here…I do not know where any of my kindred are anymore. We do not communicate by those means.
<Pixel> The future I know of… cyberkats communicated often… ::for if they did not check in with Protocol, they could face deletion! LOL:: but that was because they were forced to.
<Jason_Korat> There has to be another way.
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!! Spacebook! <Hertz> ::friend requests everyone, and posts random youtube links on all their walls, every hour on the hour::))
<Tessie_Reed> Well then. It is not a world where we desired to communicate. ::Stands up:: You live a bit longer and you will see what I am talking about.
<MASA_Representative> <Email> :: details they’ll continue to electronically track the spacecraft. Have a clear signal to it… ::
<Pixel> ((LOL! Hertz XD))
<Jason_Korat> ((::DIES!!::))
<Pixel> … if you say so… though I hope you and I can continue to communicate… ::bites bottom lip a bit::
<Tessie_Reed left the chat room. (Ping timeout)
<Shade_Ringo> Well.. we don’t have to necessarily use MASA’s transportation. Maybe Puma-Dyne would have something a little.. quicker. They mentioned in the email they were able to track the signal, if we could relay that to a faster vessel.. ::shrugs::
<Jason_Korat> We have to get in touch with Puma Dyne, then. :as he stands and grabs his keys:: Coming?
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Puma Dyne> Yep, we got this here super-sonic rocket ship, but it ain’t been tested yet! <Jase> We know just what to do. <Hertz> ::seated in rocket, munching on popcorn, with a chimpanzee co-pilot:: Oh, I didn’t know they allowed small monkeys on this ride too. <Chimp> ::rolls eyes, grabs bug from his hair and eats::))
<Pixel> ((::dies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::nods:: Absolutely. ::follows him out::

<Tessie_Reed was promoted to operator by Pixel.
<Shade_Ringo> ((WB!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((TY!))
<Pixel> … if you say so… though I hope you and I can continue to communicate… ::bites bottom lip a bit::
<Tessie_Reed> We shall see. PRobably until you decide to..”Find your place in the world” like the others have done.
<Shade_Ringo> ::keeps in step, opening up passenger door and climbing in once there::
<Pixel> ::sighs at that and finishes up the deskroom. empties dustpan in rolly garbage can in hall::
<Tessie_Reed> ::will go to the kitchen to go find something to drink::
<Tessie_Reed> ((and I hate to but I think I’m gonna sign offa here. These storms keep coming through and I’m afraid its just going tokeep knocking me offline))
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Pixel> My place is here! With this mop! And this bucket! I know my destiny! ::proud, with tear in eye:: From now on, just call me “409.”))
<Tessie_Reed> ((lol!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((Nights you guys! ::huggles:: Don’t think storms are supposed to be here tomorrow night so should be able to stay))
<Shade_Ringo> ((Boo! Dumb downpour. XD Well, you have a good’n anyways, CK! We’ll catch ya’ later!))

<Tessie_Reed left the chat room. (Quit: Jose Jalapeno! On a steeeeeeeeeek!)
<Jason_Korat> ::drives them off to Puma Dyne::
<You are now known as Puma_Dyne.
<Pixel> ((LOL!))
<Jason_Korat> ((::dies, 409!::)
<Shade_Ringo> ::driven!:: Ya’ know, maybe we don’t really *need* the moon. We could just nuke it and take care of fatso in one blow. ::sly grin::
<Puma_Dyne> :: guard at the gate will let them in, and receptionist in the lobby will direct them to one of their lead scientists, Dr. Watt ::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Dr Watt> Hello, I am Dr. Watt? <Jase> Hmm? I didn’t say anything. <Watt> No, no, “Watt.” <Shade> That’s what we’re here to find out! <Watt> What? <Jase> Oh, it’s his name!))
<Pixel> ((<Dr. Watt> This is my assistant, Doctor Who.))
<Jason_Korat> Sure. We can do that… and then create the biggest tsunami this world’s ever seen. Buahahhaa!
<Pixel> ((LOL!!))
<Jason_Korat> ((::dies!!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!Who!))
<Jason_Korat> ((<Watt> These are my assistants, Wen, Ware and Hao))
<Pixel> ((XDDD ))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!! <Watt> We had a falling out with Wye a few years back… <Shade> Why? <Watt> That’s right.))
<Jason_Korat> ((::DEAD!::))
<Pixel> ((XDDD))
<Shade_Ringo> I think this place brings out the worst in kats. ::smirking, as they’re directed down a hallway:: Something about all this power in one place.
<Jason_Korat> Most advanced technology in the world.
<Jason_Korat> ::thinking; We’re gonna need a pilot, now that I think about it… ::dials up Hans::
<Pixel> <Jenna> ::Oh you’re just saying that because you’ve met all the bad apples from there, like me!::
<You are now known as Dr_Watt.
<Dr_Watt> :: once they reach his lab, looks up :: The receptionist told me you would be arriving shortly. What can I help you with?
<Pixel> <Hans> ::in his office… hanging up picture of his wife and son. answers phone:: Hell, Megakat Bureau of Investigation, Captain Lynx speaking.
<Dr_Watt> ((::snork::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Super Villains> ::really just like re-living their glory days from high school, shoving all the scientists into their lockers:: <Watt> I’m getting sick of all these Wedgie Raids!))
<Pixel> ((::DEAD::))
<Jason_Korat> ((::Keels over, snortdies, Hans’ greeting::))
<Jason_Korat> ((:dies, wedgie raids::))
<Pixel> ((Gah! HELLO! ^^^ lulz))
<Jason_Korat> Well, if that’s how you feel about working there…
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!))
<Pixel> <Hans> What? ::mun is a dork lol::
<Pixel> <Hans> Phone frazzled a moment there.
<Jason_Korat> Uh huh. Anyway, think you can stop by Puma Dyne?
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Jase> .. Maybe it is possible to be *too* casual.))
<Pixel> <Hans> What for? Need some sort of super secret deadly weapon?
<Shade_Ringo> Hello, Dr. Watt. ::extending paw for a shake as Jase is busy there:: We need to get to the moon, ASAP.
<Jason_Korat> ((::dies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> I’m Agent Ringo, this is Director Korat. ::nodding sideways to Jase::
<Jason_Korat> No, but I need a pilot.
<Dr_Watt> :: shakes hand :: The moon? That’s an unusual request.
<Pixel> <Hans> Ooh do I get to test some sort of super secret aircraft?!
<Shade_Ringo> There’s an unusual reason. We have reason to believe Dark Kat’s taken a ship up there to reposess a Latrifron ship. From that invasion we had a while back, if you recall. Obviously, we can’t just let that happen.
<Shade_Ringo> So we were wondering if you had anything that could get us up there fast enough to confront him before he’s able to figure out how to move the alien vessel.
<Jason_Korat> We can say that.
<Pixel> <Hans> I’ll be there shortly then! ::hangs up and is out of his office and on way to Puma-Dyne::
<Pixel is now known as Hans_Lynx.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Jase> Uh, suuuure. <Hans> ::later, has to pilot a VW Beetle strapped to a giant rocket:: Not what I had in mind.. -_-))
<Dr_Watt> Ah, so that’s what happened to fusion drive. Was wondering when that’d turn up again… :: scratches chin :: Well, I’m sorry that I can’t help you. Something like that would take months at a minimum to plan, and the leading space agency lost their flagship technology to Dark Kat already.
<Jason_Korat> ((::dies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> Fusion drive? What space agency are you talkin’ about? I thought you guys were the premier source for that kinda’ tech.
<Hans_Lynx> ((::dead!::))
<Dr_Watt> While space exploration is a worthwhile cause, it’s not a very profitable one. Several of my colleagues could never get over that :: gestures to a wall behind him displaying various model weapons and attack craft that have been made over the years :: This is what gets priority here. :: sighs :: Though I would envy the opportunity to travel to another planet, even our nearest neighbor. It’s a shame one can’t simply dematerialize into an electrical signal and traverse the distance of space, and re-materialize safely. That would solve your dilemma. But, such things are only fiction.
<Hans_Lynx> ::arrives in due time, parks and heads on up to the gate and any guards there. shows badge:: Captain Lynx with the MBI, I believe my colleagues are here already?
<Shade_Ringo> ::blinkblinks:: … ::blinkblinks, a smile slowly creeping up his face:: Uh, riiight, right. Too bad.. Would you, uh, at least happen to have any suits available for safe space exploration?
<Jason_Korat> ::listening, doesnt like the look on Shade’s face::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Jase> ::knows that look. it usually either means there’s a drastic sale on hair gel going on, or sudden death is near::))
<Dr_Watt> We have been developing advanced tactical environmental suits. They’re meant to keep the wearer alive with 90% preserved mobility in extreme environments. I suppose they’d work well in a vacuum as well.
<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!))
<Hans_Lynx> ::is directed to where Jase ‘n Shade are, entering the room:: What about a vacuum? I was hoping to fly a supersonic jet, not a house hold appliance.
<Dr_Watt> We were looking to do field tests soon :: scratches chin :: I can arrange a loan if you agree to fill out an in-depth evaluation of the equipment’s performance.
<Jason_Korat> Works for me.
<Shade_Ringo> Mm! ::nodding emphatically, folding hands behind back, and looking to Hans as he enters. smiles, then turns back to Watt:: I for one am a fervent proponent of field testing.. for the sake of science.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Jase> Just as long as we don’t have to buy it if we break it. <Hans> Cuz we break things alot. <Watt> .. I’m gonna’ need a separate form.))
<Hans_Lynx> ::stands behind the other two, glancing ’round, wondering what they’re gotten themselves into this time XD::
<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!))
<Dr_Watt> Aren’t we all :: leaves for a moment, and then returns with several duffel bags with the Puma Dyne logo :: Instructions are included in the duffels. Feel free to evaluate those for ease of understanding as well.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Watt> ::goes to get suits:: Okay! Here they are! <Suits> ::are tight gold shimmery spandex, with sky blue capes and snorkels attached to a scuba tank for oxygen:: <Megs> O_O; <Hans> So how does that only allow 90% movement?))
<Jason_Korat> ::takes one of them::
<Jason_Korat> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Hans_Lynx> ((::dies:: <Hans> And how about 100% breathing…?))
<Shade_Ringo> ::takes up another duffel:: Sounds great. Thanks, doc.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Jase> 200% humiliation. <Shade> I’m just glad I was wearing sunglasses when he brought them out in to the light.. <Hans> Anyone else wanna’ just let Dark Kat take over the moon?))
<Hans_Lynx> ::takes any remaining ones::
<Hans_Lynx> ((LOL!))
<Dr_Watt> Just keep in mind, a gun will fire in space, even better than in a terrestrial environment. :: hinting, as if he knows more about them than he’s letting on, and walks away ::
<Shade_Ringo> ::nods, heading out:: Yep, we’ll get these babies *well* evaluated.
<Jason_Korat> ((::DEAD!::))
<Hans_Lynx> ::heads out after the other two:: So… why are we testing space suits for Puma-Dyne exactly?
<Jason_Korat> I heard the moon is nice this time of year.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Suits> ::are all XXXL:: <Jase> I can understand why, if he were throwing these out at sporting events, but come on!))
<Jason_Korat> ((::dies!!::))
<Hans_Lynx> ((::dead:: What do these only come in sizes meant for overly large villains?))
<Hans_Lynx> … uh huh… ::thinking whaaaaaat?::
<Shade_Ringo> ((XD!! <Puma Dyne> ::are just anticipating, anymore::))
<Shade_Ringo> ::chuckles at Jase’s comment:: I’ll ride back with you and fill ya’ in.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Hans> ::dubious look, eyeing tripleX-L suit:: Don’t fill me in *too* much..))
