The MBI Agents are picked up by the Enforcers and taken back to HQ while Commander Feral cordons off the crash site. Korat purposely neglects to reveal the power gem and brings it back to MBI HQ where they determine what to do next. McGrath is unable to identify how the device operates. He suggests that Jack Spinner, who has extensive history dealing with these types of matters during his tenure at the NSA, can.
<Enforcers> :: arrive on the scene in choppers, apparently alerted by MASA of a spacecraft heading to this location, land and several disembark to meet the group with the flaming debris in the BG ::
<Jason_Korat> :is dusting himself off after taking off his helmet::
<You are now known as Commander_Feral.
<Tessie_Reed> ::dusted herself off as well, looking at the wreckage a moment.::
<Pixel> ::sits down near DK’s KOed self::
<Commander_Feral> :: among them, sees the group with the unconscious Dark Kat, and recognizes Korat :: Korat? What are you doing out here? And with Dark Kat?
<Pixel> ::looks over as Enforcers arrive. knows best to let the higher ranked ones answer this XD::
<Jason_Korat> Oh, just wanted to see if the moon was made of cheese.
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks at Jason:: I could have told you it was not made of cheese.
<Jason_Korat> ::gives her a dry look::
<Tessie_Reed> Oh..that was one of those..expressions…was it not? ::sheepish look::
<Pixel> ::giggles a bit::
<Commander_Feral> Take him into custody and back to a holding cell. :: orders some of his grunts :: <Enforcers> :: move to take the unconscious Dark Kat and haul him off :: <Feral> :: frowns at Jase :: This is no laughing matter. I don’t care how you got aboard his ship…or even how you survived that :: referring to the flaming debris in the background :: What I need to know is whether or not that psycho accomplished whatever it was he set out to do.
<Pixel> ::gets up to move out of the way for the Enforcers to take him. looks on curiously as she listens to Feral::
<Tessie_Reed> ::listening as well! standing with Pixel. letting Jason handle this situation::
<Jason_Korat> In a word? Nope.
<Jason_Korat> ::has the gem hidden in his helmet for now;> <Pixel> ::still has on the suit. visor up and helmet still on::
<Commander_Feral> I hope you’ll have more to say once my investigation into this incident begins, but for now, this is a restricted area. :: gestures to an awaiting chopper ::
<Commander_Feral> ((<Feral> Git oooooot! :: boots ::))
<Tessie_Reed> ::looks to Jason to see what his orders are::
<Tessie_Reed> ((lol!)
<Pixel> ((LOL!))
<Pixel> ::waiting for Jason to go first::
<Jason_Korat> In other words, “Get lost”. I got it. ::motions to the others::
<Tessie_Reed> ::nods and follows him! going for the chopper::
<Pixel> ::follows Jase to the chopper Feral mentioned:: Aren’t you going to mention the glowy time thing? ::says quietly to Jase::
<Jason_Korat> Not yet.
<Commander_Feral> <Chopper> :: will take off once they’re aboard, heading back to MKC ::
<Pixel> ::climbs on in chopper whee! removes bulky helmet finally and buckles up to head back to Megakat::
<Tessie_Reed> ::climbing in and such! buckling up! hanging on for the ride back to HQ::
<Pixel> That certainly was exciting!
<Tessie_Reed> I do not think exciting would be a word I would use to describe it..
<Jason_Korat> Out of this world? ::smirks::
<Pixel> What would be the word you would use then? ::curious::
<Tessie_Reed> Stressful would be the word. If he had obtained those weapons and got them back here we would have had problems stopping him.
<Pixel> ((<Tess> The word goes beyond the rating of this RPG. <Pixel> a what?))
<Jason_Korat> ((::dies!!::))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::diiiies!::))
<Commander_Feral> <Chopper> :: lands on the MBI helipad, allowing the group to exit ::
<Tessie_Reed> ::will hop out of the chopper and ducks down, heading back inside::
<Pixel> ::gets out, taking helmet with:: But he didn’t. So everything is great right? ::following Tess::
<Jason_Korat> ::heads on after them, thanking the Enforcers for the ride::
<Tessie_Reed> WE can only hope so. ::leaves the door open as she goes on downstairs::
<Pixel> So what are we going to do with that device? Put it in evidence?
<Commander_Feral> <Chopper> :: takes off once they’ve disembarked and flies away ::
<Jason_Korat> Look at it.
<Pixel> It is very pretty! ::smiles::
<Tessie_Reed> We need to be very careful. It seems to go on voice commands judging from its actions earlier.
<Pixel> That it did. I wonder if that means it is programmed with many languages besides Latifron.
<Jason_Korat> That’s something we need to find out. ::as he takes it down to the basement::
<You are now known as Power-Gem.
<Pixel> ::once down basement, gets out of the space suit all the way and puts it and the helmet aside::
<Tessie_Reed> How do we do that? considering we do not want it to mess with time too much.
<Jason_Korat> That’s a good question.
<Tessie_Reed> ::will get out of her own space suit and goes to put it away:: I think we should take it somewhere safe if we do. just in case..
<Pixel> Safe? Like where?
<Power-Gem> :: still glowing several colors different colors, though seems rather harmless at the moment ::
<Tessie_Reed> I don’t know. The desert I suppose. SO its away from most everyone?
<Pixel> Commander Feral said it was off limits.
<Jason_Korat> First I want to know what exactly it does. ::as he sets it down onna table::
<Pixel> It is able to control the speed of things.
<Power-Gem> :: sits on the table, several different colors still going back and forth ::
<Tessie_Reed> Is that all it can do though? Just control time?
<Tessie_Reed> Or speed or whatever it was it was doing?
<Pixel> I assume that this device was used by the Latifrons to travel great distances…
<Jason_Korat> It’s gotta do more than that.
<Power-Gem> :: isn’t proving any answers it would seem. Just sitting there ::
<Jason_Korat> Wonder if it’s like a genie in a bottle thing…
<Tessie_Reed> ::blinks at Jason:: What do you mean?
<Jason_Korat> ::jokingly, waggles his fingers over it:: Gem-thingy, make me a tuna sandwich.
<Pixel> ::giggles and waits::
<Power-Gem> :: doesn’t do anything ::
<You are now known as McGrath.
<McGrath> What is that? :: abruptly from behind them ::
<Pixel> ::yelps! and turns ’round startled::
<Tessie_Reed> We are not exactly sure yet. It was on the Latifron ship.
<McGrath> :: frowns, walking up to it ::
<Jason_Korat> It’s a lousy genie, that’s what. ::turns to McGrath:: Wanna take a look at it?
<Pixel> ::moves back from table when McGrath approaches::
<Pixel> Dark Kat tried to take it. It can manipulate speed and time.
<Tessie_Reed> It was speeding up time while we were in the ship it seems. We crashed the space ship because it did not give us enough time to make course corrections, but it stopped the ship just at impact so we could get off.
<Pixel> And it is voice activated.
<McGrath> :: briefly examines it, listening to their explanations :: Is it now? :: turns attention back to the gem :: “Stop time” :: says to it, and waits for something to happen ::
<McGrath> <Power-Gem> :: does nothing ::
<Pixel> ::eyes widen as McGrath says that lol waits as well.::
<Tessie_Reed> ::frowns some, waiting for something bad to happen::
<Pixel> ::hurries to one of the few basement windows. peeks out to see if things stopped outside::
<McGrath> <Everything> :: is normal ::
<Tessie_Reed> Nothing happened….
<McGrath> “speed up time”…? :: says to it ::
<McGrath> <Power-Gem> :: nothing happens ::
<Pixel> Nothing is happening at either command.
<Jason_Korat> Oh, sure, now it decides to get picky.
<Pixel> Perhaps it only works inside a space craft?
<Tessie_Reed> Maybe there is some word we said to activate it?
<Pixel> ::walks back over to them::
<McGrath> Well, I don’t think it’s voice activated. You should lock that up somewhere secure. For all we know it’s broken and needs to be fixed. Alien technology isn’t my speciality, but I know someone whose it is.
<Pixel> … perhaps it is thought activated?
<Tessie_Reed> Perhaps it is best to leave it broken?
<McGrath> If it’s broken then that means it could work not as intended, and kill us all. Or cause a mild inconvenience. But likely kill us all.
<Jason_Korat> Who specializes in it? :to McGrath::
<Tessie_Reed> ::frowns:: Yikes.
<Pixel> … let’s go with Agent Reed’s idea then. Leave it broken.
<McGrath> I just got my clean bill of health from the hospital, so I haven’t checked our personal inmate list yet, but he should still be in his cell waiting for an arraignment.
<McGrath> Upstairs. :: points ::
<Tessie_Reed> ::to Pixel:: he means if we leave it broken it could do those things. We want it fixed then.
<Pixel> Oh… ::nodsnods::
<Pixel> You mean… Jack Spinner?
<McGrath> He has extensive experience with alien technology. Before he was director of the NSA he was head of the extraterrestrial research division.
<Jason_Korat> Please tell meyou’re yanking my tail.
<Tessie_Reed> Do we really wish him to know we have this? That could be very dangerous as well.
<Pixel> He doesn’t have to know WE have it. ::winks::
