Protocol returns to the MBI to demand what will be done with Htargcm. Before it’s over with, even Sypher’s mild temperament has been pushed to its limits, and Protocol finds she’s not going to be able to just zap home this time.
<SypherSK> ::is in the kitchen, sitting at the table, typing on Jason’s laptop, thought maybe if he used it the typical kat way he could ascertain what on earth Jason does to it::
<Protocol> ::hrrrrm… shall I be played or another?::
<Protocol> ::what the hey I’ll be played, and I’ll be semi decent for once. Because I’m in a good mood::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::in the comp room. staring at program::
<SypherSK> ::mind is typically only half on what he’s doing, the majority of his thoughts pondering what all he and Prot saw in Htargcm’s mind, is starting to find Prot almost as scary as Dark Kat::

<Inverse-McG> ((<Jase> Can you trouble shoot this? <Sy> Troubleshoot? ::blinks :: <Jase> You know, see what I did to break it? <Sy> You…’broke’ it? :: blinky :: <Jase> Yes, I broke it. <Sy> Oh…:: takes the laptop and throws it in the trash :: I’ll just get you another one ))
<SypherSK> ((::snorks!::))
<Protocol> ::zips back to the MBI. prolly next day or somethin’. enters through lobby ‘n strolls in lookin’ for someone, not McGrath. Maybe Sy since he actually saw what she did. ah the kitchen. zaps up behind him and taps his shoulder:: Boo!

<SypherSK> ::prolly would get Jase another one if it didn’t feel like giving up… wants to solve this puzzle and he’s not gonna… blinkie, looks up at Prot:: What are you doing here?
<Protocol> Have you decided to get rid of that interdimensional reject yet?
<SypherSK> We don’t have a way to get rid of him yet. Agent Ryaan is looking into it. ::well, he thinks she is… assuming she knows she may have gotten the wrong McGrath?::
<SypherSK> ((<Roxie> I do? <Sy> I left you a memo. <Roxie> ::looks at paper she had her sandwich sitting on:: Oh!))
<Protocol> ((::dead::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::dies::))
<Inverse-McG> ((<Roxie> I was not informed of this…<Mun> You failed! Bad Char! <Roxie> :: tears up :: ))
<Protocol> So you’re convinced he isn’t yours then?
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::diiiees:: <Roxie> ;_; This is a personal blow. ::traumatized:: ))
<SypherSK> Well, his memories showed he had no knowledge of the MBI.
<Roxie_Ryaan> …… ::closes program with frustration. goes looking for McG’s laptop. gonna login and see if the files on the machine she used would say anything about possibly something not working right::
<SypherSK> ((<Roxie> ::actually did it deliberately, brought the real McG back once and told no one… what she got wasn’t pretty… figured a replacement McG would be just as good and not as messy::))
<Protocol> ((LOL!))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::diiiees:: Ewwwwwwwwwww ))
<Inverse-McG> ((::snorks::))
<Protocol> Well then, so whot, the REAL McGrath is still dead than?
<SypherSK> Presumably. ::finally lets the laptop be and twists in his seat to look at her properly::
<Protocol> ::smirks:: So will your agent master try again to fetch him, or another one?
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::mun will assume she finds McG’s laptop and logs in without problem as she hasn’t been told differently. search up that file on the machine. specifically looking for McG’s personal notes on it if she can find ‘em::
<SypherSK> She’s pretty determined to find the original one and bring him back if it’s at all possible. He did “die” in front of her eyes as you might recall.
<Inverse-McG> <McG’s Laptop> :: missing a few crucial physical componets, like a paralell port that looks like it’s been ripped out by force, along with a few missing buttons and a scratched LCD screen ::
<Protocol> ::shrugs:: Well then its a waste of time if you ask me. Just send this one away before he destroys us all and be done with it. Biologicals can’t let go easily can they?
<SypherSK> And, you can?
<SypherSK> What if it had been Driver?
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> I’d settle for another one that didn’t have qualms about killing people.))
<Inverse-McG> ((<Sy> :: plays his “Ace” :: <Prot> That’s different! :: plays “lame excuse” ;) ::))
<Protocol> ((::dying::))
<LeoSK> ::joins Roxie:: Figure anything out?
<Protocol> Psh, that’s different.
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD:: <Prot> ::sulks, refuses to speak to her mun for giving her sucha bad hand::))
<SypherSK> ::slight smile:: No, it’s not. You have an emotional attachment to Driver just like any kat’s attachment to another.
<Protocol> Yes it is. Was your agent and McGrath … whot is it they call it… a pair?
<Protocol> Or did they have a familial relationship?
<SypherSK> No, but there are other sorts of bonds… and duties.
<Roxie_Ryaan> Well… ::give my mun a moment to catch up. she got a huge textwad while she was in another window apparently. o.o ::
<Protocol> Yes yes yes, Captain, Lieutenant, blah blah.
<Protocol> All rank and file.
<Inverse-McG> ((<Sypher> Actually, no one even noticed that he died, even those that watched it happen. We’d never of realized it if Roxie hadn’t of kept on reminding us about it <Prot> He sounds like a very loved individual <Sy> Eh…))
<Roxie_Ryaan> Well…. The computer has been damaged… ::this must be recent, wouldn’t it? or you would have mentioned it before. does the computer run? XD::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((( ::dies:: ))
<SypherSK> Not exactly like that. The agents take care of each other… and their fellow kats.
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> I think Roxie must have secretly been a pair with him… <Roxie> WHAT?! <Mattmun> ::looks at McG:: Stop getting into relationships when I’m not looking.))
<Protocol> ((::diies::))
<Inverse-McG> <Computer> :: damaged but it works. Was taken by McG on his little “walk outside” ::
<Protocol> ((::DEAD::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::DIES:: ))
<Protocol> And fellow cyberkats? ::hrmphs folds arms::
<Inverse-McG> ((<Mattmun> :: blinks :: You died exactly 24 RPG hours after Roxie was introduced <McG> I sensed my end was near ))
<SypherSK> They cared about me when I was about to die, didn’t they?
<Protocol> ((::DIEEES::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::Diiies:: <Roxie> … Was it something I said?? ))
<Protocol> Well… one of them did.
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( <Rox> ::paranoid:: ))
<LeoSK> I see…::sigh:: Is this…”our” McGrath?
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<SypherSK> As did the others… Though I tried to keep it from them.
<Protocol> Bah. The rest all probably were just worried they’d lose another powerful ally is all.
<Roxie_Ryaan> Do you mean the one in the ward? No, I don’t think so. This is “our” McGrath’s laptop, though. … I suppose when the Inverse McGrath got out he took the laptop. ::sigh:;
<Inverse-McG> :: still knocked out in cell. Furklaw and his drugs, er, I mean “sedatives” ;) ::
<SypherSK> No, they’ve been like family ever since I came here. All of those to join since I’ve been here have accepted myself and Matrix… and even Shrapnel, despite his… eccentricities, easily. Even McGrath just kept a watch on me… and he had every right to distrust anything made by Dark Kat.
<LeoSK> ::sighs:: Do you really think our’s in…gone?
<Protocol> Well its not like its OUR fault who our creator was. Unless you went an insulted HIS mother to insult him, its not proper.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ….. No. I don’t think he’s gone. I think I made a miscalculation when calibrating the machine that was supposed to bring him back. Or possibly he did. I’ll just have to figure out what I did. Perhaps even send the not-McGrath back where he came from.
<SypherSK> But, who’s to say I wasn’t still working for Dark Kat and putting on a good act?
<Inverse-McG> ((<Prot> I’m a hypocrite! But thankfully no one will notice the next time I condemn all biologicals for being what they are <Sy> I’m still here ))
<Protocol> ((::laughs!))
<Protocol> ::is a hypocrite. and doesn’t care XD::
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::dies::))
<Protocol> Don’t know, but I noticed when *I* worked here, when you all thought I was a biological, everyone was so distrusting of me when I hadn’t done a thing to show that.
<SypherSK> You hacked the mainframe on your first day.
<Protocol> But did YOU know it was me? Nooooooo.
<Inverse-McG> ((<Prot> So?))
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> And, you had those… troll things. <Prot> Whot? Those helped me blend in! <Sypher> Those creeped me out… <Prot> ::makes note to get more trolls::))
<SypherSK> No, but think about it – we hire a new employee and the same day she starts, so does trouble.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((<Sypher> Well, you must remember that the Megs are controlled by muns who will take what they know OOC and make their character have ‘hunches’ or ‘suspicions’ to prove how perceptive they are and how much they deserve to be an agent. <Protocol> Lamb. Red Shirt. Gold Shirt. Sheep. Targ- <Sy> Don’t mention them. They’re cannon fodder. <Protocol> Him too. ))
<Inverse-McG> ((lol))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Protocol> By the by, how was I more suspicious than guys with names like *that*? <Sypher> Our muns just laughed at them.))
<Protocol> ((::dying::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( XD XD ))
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> Names like that either indicate cannon fodder or stupid henchmen.))
<Protocol> Well who’s to say it wasn’t an employee hired in… the last week? Or month?
<SypherSK> It could have been. McGrath could have been wrong. But, at least you can’t say they distrusted you just because of what you are. They thought you were like them at the time. ::bites back a probably Matrix-inspired comment insinuating mebbe she just radiates evil::
<Protocol> ::darn! is she stumped for a comeback on that point? yep XD so instead says:: Well McGrath and Matrix are paranoid on many things. I think they were just nervous being around girls. ::chuckles::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::tries to login to those files anyway. carefully though. doesn’t want to make the laptop angry::
<SypherSK> ((<Roxie> ::hits its sensitive key:: <Laptop> ::roar, eat Roxie:: <Roxie> ::in laptop’s innards, cries, all McG’s gadgets try to kill her::))
<Inverse-McG> <Laptop> :: looks like it was already hacked. All the hidden data, stuff, etc. issa accesible ::
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::dies:: ))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::mutter dark words::
<SypherSK> ::allows himself a slight chuckle:: Well, Matrix definitely is.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::close laptop:: Archaeo – care to take a visit to see the other McG?
<LeoSK> Sounds…”fun”. ::does the finger gesture:: Why not? Let’s go.
<Protocol> ((<Rox> Stark. Gloomy. Black. Night. <Leo>… huh? <Roxie> Those are dark words. <Leo>… ))
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::Dies. gnaw Prot:: XD ))
<LeoSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<Protocol> ((::owowowow apologizes XD::))
<Protocol> Is whot? Paranoid?
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::ungnaws XD:: ))
<SypherSK> Paranoid and nervous around girls. Of course, I think the latter is Static’s fault.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::carry laptop down to the place McG’s at:: >_<
<Protocol> Oh… that one. ::hrmphs:: She’d make ANYONE nervous around females. Or just annoyed.
<Inverse-McG> :: still knocked out in his cell ::
<SypherSK> ::chuckles, is amused by Static personally… but then, he’s never been a target::
<SypherSK> ::and, likes watching Trix get tormented::
<Protocol> ::then smirks and looks at Sypher:: And what about you “big brother”? ::saying big brother mockingly:: Do girls frighten youuuu?
<Inverse-McG> ((<Trix’> You haven’t experienced the terror ))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((<Trix> Oh sure, pick on me when my mun’s not around to defend me! ;_; <Sy> Your mun would laugh harder than anyone else! <Trix> … Stop rubbing it in. ;_; ))
<Protocol> ((::laughs!::))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<SypherSK> Only you.
<Inverse-McG> ((<Prot> Booo! <Sy> :: yipes! clings to ceiling ::))
<LeoSK> ::heads down:: WOnder if the drug’s have worse off yet…
<Protocol> (((LOL!))
<Protocol> I scare you do I? ::chuckles wiggles fingers::
<Inverse-McG> ((<Prot> :: makes finger triangle :: Excellent ))
<SypherSK> Yes, you do. ::type on laptop again:: The world only needs *one* Dark Kat after all.
<Protocol> ((::dead:: <Prot> Driver, release the hounds!))
<Roxie_Ryaan> Well. I’m not qualified to administer any wake-up juice or something. So I suppose I’ll sit and wait for him to wake up or Furklaw to wander in. ::open laptop. pokes at it:: -_-;
<Protocol> ::grrrs:: Don’t compare me to him!
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> ::pause, analyzes statement:: ARE YOU SAYING I’M FAT?! ::shriek, attack:: <Sypher> ::left mauled:: Ow… She may be scarier when she’s being more like a girl than when she’s being a supervillain….))
<Protocol> ((::DIIE::))
<LeoSK> ::sits looks at screen:: Hmmm…
<SypherSK> And, you don’t dream of the exactly the same thing he does? A city in your own image?
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::diesees::))
<Inverse-McG> :: snore…splurf, groan/signs of life ::
<Protocol> No I don’t. ::folds arms:: I want a city that Driver wants. One that’s crime free. Its hard to achieve that in non-violent methods.
<Protocol> ((::dies splurf?::))
<SypherSK> You wanted the city before you ever met Driver.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((<Roxie> I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that one. ))
<Inverse-McG> ((<Protocol> I want peace even if I have to destroy everything to get it! ))
<Protocol> ((bwhahahahaha))
<SypherSK> ((::DIES, remembering some quote she found last night… something about a tank that left a 3 mile wide swath of “peace” in its wake::))
<Protocol> Interesting how you know ALL about what I want. ::says sarcastically::
<SypherSK> Well, it’s not like you aren’t always talking about it.
<LeoSK> ::Looks at him:: ‘least we know he’s alive.
<SypherSK> Not to mention that surge of happiness I got from you at seeing Htargcm’s future.
<Roxie_Ryaan> Well, if he’s as dangerous as he has shown signs of being, that’s not nessessarily a reassuring thought.
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> ::sniff, wipes away a tear:: That was sucha beautiful world… Except for those little ingrates blowing up my statue… Grrrr…))
<LeoSK> ..point.
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<Protocol> Its not really the city I want.
<Inverse-McG> :: wakes up :: urg….
<SypherSK> Oh, really? You seemed pretty happy with that notion of keeping everyone as your braindead slaves.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::looks up:: Wonderful. ::dryly. set aside the laptop and gets to her feet::
<Protocol> ::chuckles:: That was rather amusing wasn’t it? ::sits on a nearby chair casually:: They doing whatever I or Driver wish. ::though didn’t recall seeing Driver in that stuff, is sure he was there.::
<Inverse-McG> :: sits up, palming forehead in one hand ::
<SypherSK> Absolutely hysterical. ::flatly::
<LeoSK> He is alive…::stands, wlaks over::
<SypherSK> ((<Jason> Glad to know you weren’t wasting a perfectly good cell in restraining a dead body….))
<Protocol> And if having control over a city to get it well that’s fine. But once all the biologicals are either dead or under cyberkat control, then I’d step down and watch mine and Driver’s achievement work.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::diiees;:))
<Inverse-McG> ((<Leo> No, that’s what we were using your office for ))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((EW. XD ::die::))
<Protocol> ((::dies both::))
<SypherSK> What’s there to work? Everyone will be, for all practical purposes, gone.
<SypherSK> ((<Jason> Those bags aren’t full of trash?))
<Inverse-McG> :: has had too many different drugs swirling around inside him, hassa headache ::
<Protocol> Not everyone. We’d have the cyberkats around.
<SypherSK> Whichever ones agreed to work with you. Which, of those of us that can think freely, is about…. uhm… Lemme think. You and Driver.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::looks around for a water cooler or something. thinks it’s only polite to offer::
<Protocol> ::chuckles:: Now maybe.
<SypherSK> ((<Htargcm> ::is annoyed no one can pronounce his name and they keep calling him that utterly unpronouncable “McGrath” thing… talk about a weird name::))
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::dead:: ))
<LeoSK> (( <Htargcm>…Let me check my notes…::pulls paper out::….Uhm…hmm…no. <leo and Roxie> >_<;;;;;; ))
<SypherSK> What makes you think any other CyberKat would want to? All of us came from being bossed around with no choices over our own lives. Why would we leave that kind of treatment with Dark Kat to follow you so you could do the same?
<Protocol> Dark Kat was a bloody tyrant! ::grrs at him:: I wouldn’t have cyberkat-kind behave like that! So long as everyone followed the laws then things will be more democratic.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::Mun says, WOO watercooler! found it. gets a papercup of water and walks over to Htar. waits for him to regain his mun XD:;
<SypherSK> Hmph. You’d be as much of a tyrant as he is.
<Protocol> ::gets up and slams the top of his laptop down if she can. glares at him:: I. am. not. like. HIM.
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> I am NOT a tyrant! Now, agree with me or DIE!))
<Protocol> ((::diies::))
<SypherSK> ::glad he took his fingers acoherent:: Yes. you. are.
<SypherSK> ::glare back::
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::DIES:: ))
<Protocol> What makes you SAY that?!
<Protocol> ((<Prot>Do I LOOK like I enjoy wearing zebra pants and weigh a ton?!))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<SypherSK> Let me see… You want the city under your command, functioning on your terms, your idea of what’s good. You want to enslave the population and make them your servants. You may let some few others enjoy some liberties under your rule, but, again, only on *your* terms.
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> Really, with both of you, it’s all me, me, me. <Prot> Oh, bologna! Neither of us care a bit about you. <Sypher>….))
<Protocol> ((::dead!::))
<Protocol> … but… my terms are better. He hates everyone! ::flops back in the chair::
<SypherSK> Uh huh… Well, that’s about all you have one him. At least you care about *one* other person besides yourself.
<Protocol> I’d care about YOU if you weren’t so… so… malfunctioned.
<SypherSK> You mean, if I agreed with you.
<Protocol> No. You and your so called “father” link. And you letting the biologicals order you around with nothing in return. I saw the payroll. You get paid in whot… donuts?
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::offers a papercup of water to InverseMcG whenever he comes around to look at them::
<SypherSK> I live here and can pretty much do as I please. I choose to help the kats. And, my father helped me find my soul… and free myself from Dark Kat. He cares for me as much as you and Driver care for each other… just in a different way.
<LeoSK> Htargcm? ::boy, does that roll off the tongue:: Will you listen to us, this time?
<Inverse-McG> :: takes the water…and looks at it for a second ::
<Protocol> I’m sure. Bet he has you doing things he could do himself, doesn’t he?
<SypherSK> Who?
<Roxie_Ryaan> … It’s not poisoned, drugged or spat into, if that’s what you’re wondering, Htargcm. ::smiles just enough to reassure:;
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::well. hopefully reassure:
<Protocol> Your “father”.
<Protocol> Why do you even CALL him that its ridiculous.
<Inverse-McG> :: thinks for a moment, then drinks the water ::
<SypherSK> Because he is a father to me. And, no, he rarely asks anything of me.
<Protocol> Mawww do you have a mommy too? ::snickers::
<SypherSK> Not yet. ::reopen laptop, typetype::
<MatrixSK> ((<Sy> And, hopefully not for a while… Dad’s got so many fangirls claiming to be his wife that I shudder to think who my Mom would really be…))
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::DIES:: ))
<Protocol> ((::diies::))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<LeoSK> …well…?
<MatrixSK> ((<Sy> Like that one girl who made Uncle Chance clean the house… wearing an apron… ::twitch:: <Matrix> Dad wore an apron? <Chance> It was an evil author. Let it go. ))
<Inverse-McG> ((<Jake> :: laughing as he talks :: Then there was that one author who had glasses stuck to your head with a super-adhesive ))
<Protocol> ::flicks her tail a bit. pondering things and looking at Sypher:: Have you ever figured out what happens to you and your “father” should something end the other’s existance yet?
<MatrixSK> ((<Chance> ::glare:: Yeah… and his co-author was laughing just as hard… grr…)
<Inverse-McG> :: finishes :: Let me out of here
<MatrixSK> ((<Chance> And, THEY HAVE TO CONTINUE THAT STORY SO I CAN *GET* THOSE THINGS OFF!))
<SypherSK> Judging by the evidence of a parallel universe, it would affect me the most. But then, that’s probably because I didn’t have a soul prior to our bond.
<MatrixSK> <Oh sure… tell her everything… ::to Sy, as he just catches the convo::>
<LeoSK> We can’t. You’ve proved to be a threat.
<Protocol> Would the same happen between two cyberkats? Say you and Matrix?
<LeoSK> Hmm..
<SypherSK> <I won’t tell her too much.>
<Roxie_Ryaan> You also might wish to go back to your own dimension. If we let you go here, you’ll just wander around and people will think you’re crazy, lock you up, and then you’re out of luck in more ways than one.
<MatrixSK> <at least not when I’m there…>
<SypherSK> I don’t know. Perhaps if they didn’t have any other close ties.
<Inverse-McG> My own dimension? :: blinks, then looks at them :: How badly did they lobotimize you?
<LeoSK> We weren’t lobotomized. This a dimension parralell to your own… The Cyber Kat revolution never occured here.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::amused smile::
<Inverse-McG> What is this? :: looking around at the ceiling, trying to find a camera :: First you capture me and now you’re trying to fill my head with ficticious nonsense?
<Roxie_Ryaan> You also potentially ruined information that would have sent you back. I assume you did that ::point to laptop:: on purpose.
<LeoSK> ::sigh:: No nonsense. In this reality you have yet to even be born. A comrade of ours, who is just like you, but from a 3rd reality was…I guess one would call it..well we’re unsure of what happened to him, but we attempted to get him back and you were what we got instead…
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::sigh. lean against a table:: Which do you think is more likely? You’re in your normal dimension and we’re trying to cause you to go crazy, or you’re in another dimension and we’re trying to help you? ::pause:: …Wait. don’t answer that. I’m not sure how crazy *your* world is.
<LeoSK> ::chcukles at Roxie::
<SypherSK> ((<Roxie> Hmm…. Maybe we should insulate Prot then drag her down here and beat her up in front of him… <Leo> Yeah! I’ll do it! ::eager, pause:: But, why? ::quickly:: Not that I wouldn’t like to or anything! <Roxie> So he’ll know we’re not on her side.

<Protocol> ((::diies::))
<LeoSK> ((::DEAD!!!::))
<Inverse-McG> Don’t lie to me. I saw that you were in league with the Cyberdemon.
<SypherSK> Because we’re evenly matched… and I don’t have anything to contain you. If you try to hurt anyone, I’ll stop you. ::looks up at her, smiles nicely:: Besides, talking to you gives me a better idea of how you think.

<Roxie_Ryaan> I’m sure he said that any proof I offered would be a ploy. Perhaps he has a way for us to prove it?
<MatrixSK> Afternoon to you. Frying any hearts yourself?
<LeoSK> Yeah…you think of a way for us to prove ourselves.
<Protocol> ::smirks:: No, I’m not in the habit of doing such.

Have we hurt you since you’ve been here? ::brow furrows. hopes no one hit him. that would just be crappy::
<Protocol> I wonder how he’s doing… killing him again would be most fun if that agent can’t return him.
<Protocol> Especially since Globulous took most the joy out of it for me.
<Protocol> Last time.
<SypherSK> Sorry, but Matrix and I’ll have to be the killjoys this time.
<MatrixSK> What’re you trying to do? Scare me? The only thing scary is you and Driver gettin’ hitched.
<SypherSK> ((<Frequency> They’re WHAT?!!!!!! ))
<Inverse-McG> :: lol, was shot at, shot, and conducted physical conduct with 3 different MBI agents ::
<Inverse-McG> ((physical combat even. ))
<MatrixSK> ((::DEAD:))
<Protocol> ::laughs:: No Matrix, I suppose its not easy to scare YOU is it? You’re so brave and all. ANd don’t worry, if we do participate in that sort of biological tradition, you’re not invited. mawwww
<SypherSK> ((<Roxie> ::thumbs thru handbooks, finds acceptable and unacceptable conduct, can’t find what “physical conduct” rates as::))
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::Dies:: <Roxie> ..How about you just trust ME? I’m apparently one of the only sane ones around here… ))
<MatrixSK> ((::DEADDEAD!::))
<Protocol> ((Roxie> Because I eat ricecakes, not the Mama Bates donuts))
<Inverse-McG> I’ve been attacked, shot, and drugged.
<LeoSK> ::sighs:: So, you’d rather sit in here until we figure out a way to send you back than have a chnace at new CyberDemon-less, over all world?
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::diiiees… conduct:: ))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ……… ::blinks:: :::look over at Leo:: *What*?
<MatrixSK> ((<Roxie> Why, when I got on that plane to get outta here, I chose my options wisely! Cute, red, crab! Always remember! <Htargcm> ::starts beating his head on the wall. Maybe he can kill all his braincells and not care in the near future what happens::))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD:: <Htargcm> ::kills his brain before Prot can::))

<Inverse-McG> ((::snorks::))
<SypherSK> ::arches a brow at Prot:: <I hope Driver has more sense than that… Tho’ you do seem to care for him…. ::to himself::>
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::Diiies:: ))
<MatrixSK> Little Protocols running around in the city… I do hope they take after their father… both physically AND emotionally. ::razz::
<Inverse-McG> You’re delusional. They’ve really messed you up if you can beleive them offering you some kind of utopian existence. It’s a utopia alright, built on the remains of us.
<LeoSK> Utopian?! ::laughs:: This is far from Utopian.
<Protocol> ::smirks:: Moron. Cyberkats don’t reproduce. Good thing in YOUR case.
<Protocol> ((or do they? <Driver>::hides! doesn’t wanna find out! heard about she-kats being so evil when preggerz… imagine PROT like that!:: ))
<Inverse-McG> ((<Prot> :: missed *another* memo :: <Trix’> Your doing again? <Sy> Yep ))
<SypherSK> ::brow arches further, wry chuckle:: You think not?
<Roxie_Ryaan> Archaeo, he’s speaking as if we’re in his dimension, not about ours.
<MatrixSK> ::snorks::
<MatrixSK> ::starts singing “If I Only Had a Brain”::
<Protocol> Why would Dark Kat want us to reproduce like that?
<Inverse-McG> Let me out of here. Every second I spend in here results in another 6 inches of territory being lost.
<Protocol> I mean we weren’t made with emotions.
<SypherSK> We’re physically identical to kats when solid.
<LeoSK> That’s just the problem… it’s like he’s totally close minded…not that I blame him..
<Inverse-McG> ((<Sy> Well, for the most part. :: shows his toe-less feet :: ))
<Protocol> So? Wouldn’t that be dangerous? What happens when going acoherent?
<Protocol> ((::dead::))
<Protocol> And it would make us slower. Dark Kat would find that highly annoying.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::sighs. rubs her forehead:: Look, Htargcm, I’d love to send you back – really – but I’m not sure I can do that without your help and if you won’t even give me the benifit of the doubt you’ll have lost miles of land and I don’t want to be responsible for something like that – whether it was inadverdant or not.
<SypherSK> I don’t know the details of it. But, it *is* possible.
<MatrixSK> He already finds YOU annoying.
<Inverse-McG> There’s no such thing as paralell dimensions.
<Protocol> And everyone finds YOU annoying, Matrix. Save for that Static.
<LeoSK> Heck, if the two of you work together to find a way back…you may be able to send him to a time Before Protocol took over and maybe prevent certain asspects of his world…
<SypherSK> I don’t find him annoying… most of the time.
<LeoSK> Where’s YOUR proof that there isn’t?
<Protocol> Well neither of you will have to worry about little cyberkittens running around. I don’t wish for such things.
<SypherSK> Just as well.
<MatrixSK> ::smirk::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::My mun’s catching my headache XD:: … I’m going to have a cup of water. Would anyone else like one? -_-;
<MatrixSK> ((<Roxie> With any luck, he can drown.))
<LeoSK> ::sighs:: no thank you…
<Protocol> ::smirks at both of them:: Not like either of you are prospective parental units to be. Both of you fear she-kats.
<MatrixSK> I don’t fear she-kats. I avoid them. There’s a difference.
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Roxie> Honest, Captain! It was an accident! He took a sip and just drowned in his little paper cup! <Jason> ::considers, then shakes his head:: What a tragedy… I feel for him tho’… I nearly did that once.))
<MatrixSK> However, I don’t avoid you considering you’re fun to pick on.
<SypherSK> I’m just shy.
<MatrixSK> ((::DEAD!!!!:: HEY!))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::diiiees::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((<LB> Besides, he already HAS a kid. n_n <Matrix> Yeah. ::pat Leo on the head:: <LB & Leo> …. ::hey!::
<SypherSK> ((::DEADDEAD!::))
<MatrixSK> ((::DEAD::))
<Protocol> Avoiding and being “shy” are just the same as fearing.
<MatrixSK> Not quite. You don’t try to kiss me everyday.
<Protocol> Should I start? Maybe THAT would scare you eh?
<MatrixSK> Naw. I dno’t think Driver would appreciate it.
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<Protocol> I’m being sarcastic, Matrix. I wouldn’t want to kiss you if you were the last cyberbeing on earth.
<MatrixSK> And, I’d drown myself if you even tried. We’re mutual.
<Inverse-McG> What do you want? :: crossing arms :: Why the need for this whole charade’?
<Protocol> Would you really drown yourself? ::Hopeful grin::
<SypherSK> ::shakes his head at them:: I’m going to check on the others. ::stands, closes laptop:: <Yell if you need help keeping her in line… ::to Trix::>
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::assumes Inverse-McG’s lack of response is a ‘no’. goes to the other side of the room and gets a papercup of her own. fill with water as she thinks of how to respond:;
<MatrixSK> <Sure. Doubt I will, tho’. ::eevil grin::>
<Roxie_Ryaan> There’s no charade. ::said with a sigh::
<SypherSK> ((<Matrix> Yes… Sy would revive me… And, I’m sure Static would jump at the chance to do so…))
<Protocol> Checking on the looney?
<MatrixSK> ((::DEADDEAD::))
<SypherSK> And, the agents talking to him. He’s been giving them a time. ::is monitoring the cameras so annoying Htargcm::
<MatrixSK> ((<Roxie> ::then realizes that since she has a headache, also has a good excuse to see that cute doc she met the other day. Debates falling and scraping herself in the process to have an even longer visit::))

<Protocol> ::stands:: How about I go with eh? Maybe we could drum up some more information? ::looks smug again::
<MatrixSK> ((<Rox> ::runs in, says to Htargcm:: Punch me as hard as you can! I need a black eye! <Htargcm> …. would you like me to kill you, too? It can be arranged…))
<SypherSK> I think you should stay here. Matrix, keep her here. We won’t get anything out of him with her standing around proving him right.
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::DIES:: ))
<MatrixSK> No problem. ::smirk::
<LeoSK> Exactly! Why would Protocol’s mindless minions bother with all this!? She’d hack your barin, steal what she needs and kill you.
<Protocol> But I wanna gooooo ::fake whine. looks at Matrix with a smirk::
<Roxie_Ryaan> That does sound like her style. ::frown. sip water::
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Roxie> Wow, my headache’s gotten worse! I was just thinking of going in a locked cell with a guy who’s violent, paranoid, and on drugs!))

<MatrixSK> I don’t think you’ll go anywhere.
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::Diiiees::))
<Protocol> Oooh that a challenge? ::laughs:: Wanna tango again?
<SypherSK> ::goes, lets Trix deal with her, cool as he’s tried to be outwardly, is inwardly still quite disturbed by the revelations of Htargcm’s time::
<Inverse-McG> She enjoys torturing her captives. I assume this is merely another tactic. What better way to crush an individual then to convince him that he’s no longer in his own realm but sepearted from all that he cares about? :: ick, a little too close to home, continues sharply :: which of course is impossible
<Roxie_Ryaan> (((<Matrix> Will you wear something sexy? <Prot> >_< I was talking about fighting, not dancing. <Matrix> Whichever. ))
