Trouble Brewing, Part 5

<Sagey> RPG Start

<FelonyK> ::after the boat fiasco, went and got a fun blammy explody gun from McK::
<McKinney> :: just for the sake of time and the plot, radios Felony :: ((<Fel> I told you, never call me at this number!))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::sitting in the compie room of MBIHQ::
<SypherSK> ((<McK> Fine. ::hangs up, calls her collect instead:: ))
<McKinney> ((<Operator> Will you accept a call from a Mr. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” ? <Felony> :: blinks ::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> (:dies:)
<FelonyK> ::is radioed as she was about to head off to the ubersecure facility. is at her apartment. picks it up from the open case:: Hello?
<FelonyK> ((::diies:: ))
<SypherSK> ::iiiiiis… just walking back to the computer room having zapped into the lobby from wherever he’s been (dangit, Jase, stop leavin’ yer dumb coats in Macedonia)::
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<McKinney> Change of plans. We’re going to HALO drop you into the facility
<FelonyK> … why?
<FelonyK> ((<mun> Halo drop? <Fel>::embarrassed her mun’s not down wit’ it::))
<SypherSK> ((<Felony> Why is it called a “HALO” drop? <McK> Because if you land wrong, you’ll be wearin’ one… or not given our line of work….))
<McKinney> It’s too secure. Even with advanced technology you’d still be detected before you got within 1000 feet of the place.
<FelonyK> Will the lasers still detect my presence and fire up at the roof?
<McKinney> This channel isn’t secure. Rendevous at Megakat International. I’ll go into further detail there
<SypherSK> ::steps into comp lab::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::looks up and smiles:: Sypher! How was your… er.. trip?
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::unsure. thinks Cyberkats seem to take lots of them::
<FelonyK> Affirmative. ::hangs it up. straps it to her belt. checks to make sure she’s gotten everything. grabs up the gun and exits her apartment. makes way to Megakat International Airport::
<SypherSK> It was pretty good. Didn’t have much luck tho’.
<McKinney> ((<Sy> I take many trips- :: falls down stairs ::))
<SypherSK> ((<Jase> I went with him as chaperone. I know how to fall properly.))
<McKinney> ((<Jase> Granted, it took me 20 tries and 17 comas to get it right))
<Sagey> ((DEAD))
<FelonyK> ((::laughs both::))
<SypherSK> ((::dies::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::dyin’::))
<McKinney> :: waits at the airport, checking watch periodically ::
<FelonyK> ::arrives there in 10 minutes. had to slip past security etc. appars behind him:: Alright. What now, Captain?
<SypherSK> ((<Roxie> What were you looking for? <Sypher> Well… It’s pretty hush-hush really.. <Roxie> Tellmetellmetellmetellme! <Sypher> I… Well.. See… Jason lost this teddy bear years ago in southern Spain… and… he has this problem… He can’t sleep well without… Agent Ryaan, are you okay? What’s with the hysterical laughter?))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::deeaddd::))
<FelonyK> ((::DIES!::))
<Sagey> ((::SOOOOODEAD::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> Remind me what you were looking for? ::sheepish. if mun ever heard, she forgot;
<FelonyK> ::appears that is, not appars::
<SypherSK> Just a side-trip for Captain Korat… There was a lull here, so he got me back on it.
<McKinney> :: points at a Fed-Ex cargo jet :: That plane departs in 7 minutes. It’s course goes right over the facility. It’ll be at such a high altitude that defenses won’t consider it a threat. All you have to do is jump from it.
<RavenFel> I do hope I’ll have a chute… or a glider or something? ::smirks::
<McKinney> ((And, before anyone riddicules me. I’m assuming that the MKC Defense Center isn’t located anywhere near MKC International. All logical time frames and distances and “How can a jet get that high so fast?” are noted ;) ))
<SypherSK> ((<McK> It’s so easy, a child could do it! <Fel> ::arches a brow:: And, live? <McK> Children bounce back from these things.))
<RavenFel> ((::dies::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::nods:: ::pulls out a chair for him:: You look tired.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::Dead::))
<McKinney> You’ll have a High altitude Low opening shoot.
<Durk>:: from around the corner, lugs over a backpack lookin’ thing ::
<SypherSK> Thanks. ::sits:: That was a little draining. Had to do a lot of travelling on foot too.
<Sagey> ((::Dead::))
<RavenFel> ::nods. goes to smelly Durk XD and picks up the bag, draggin’ it from him. examines it closely. probably took sky diving lessons before and went a couple times for something adventureous. seems on the up and up. didn’t wear her capes for this. puts on the backpack/shute::
<McKinney> ((:: then snorks :: chute, not shoot <Mun> shoot))
<SypherSK> ((::dies::))
<RavenFel> ((::diies::))
<RavenFel> ((well I’ve typed “shoot” a lot more than chute XDDD))
<RavenFel> ::chute! mwhahaha… ah ha.::
<Sagey> ((::dies::))
<McKinney> :: hands her an altimeter watch :: Here’s the catch. Don’t deploy your shoot before 35 feet. Don’t deploy your chute after 35 feet. As soon as you deploy, detach. If you don’t do this correctly, you die.
<McKinney> ((Chute! Shoot! ARRRR!!!))
<RavenFel> ((::bwhahaha he did it now:))
<SypherSK> ((<Felony> Got it. Start shooting at 35 feet. Deploy after 35. Dye my clothes.))
<McKinney> ((<Fel> Wha-? <McK> Don’t worry about it, it’s easy! :: shoves her on plane ::))
<Sagey> ((::GONE::))
<RavenFel> ((::diies::))
<McKinney> ((::DIES!::))
<SypherSK> ((::dying at all::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::dyingatyouguys::))
<Sagey> ((::sooodead::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::nods. and DOES resist urge to pet Sy XD:: You missed a bit of excitement the other night.
<RavenFel> ::puts on the watch and nods.:: Gotcha. ::mun forgets how many of those artifact things McK was wanting::
<McKinney> Remember, get me the Tribal Death Stone. You can keep anything else you get for yourself.
<SypherSK> ::blinks:: What happened? ::just got in, hasn’t heard from anyone, I’d guess Matrix either can’t contact him over such a distance or doesn’t bother unless DK is beaming the city to the moon again::
<Sagey> ((and, i’s heading to bed, guys! Nights!))
<RavenFel> ((Night Sagey!))
<McKinney> ((nights!))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((Nite Sagerz! ::hug::))
<SypherSK> ((::hugs Sagey:: Nights!))
<McKinney> Of course
<Sagey> ((::hugs all!:: Nights!))
*** Sagey has quit IRC (Exit: )
<RavenFel> And don’t forget you owe me fifty of those diamonds.
<McKinney> Of course
<RavenFel> ::mock salutes then turns on heel. goes ‘n gets on de plane! de plane!::
<McKinney> ((Our Fearless leader has left! :: gets the Burger Kind Hat and plops it on Kris’ head :: You’re in charge now ))
<Roxie_Ryaan> McKinney and a female accomplice calling herself “Raven” broke into HQ and made off with McGrath’s laptop and various pieces of his equiptment and some files from the fileroom, I believe.
<McKinney> ((King*))
<SypherSK> ((::dies:: Yay! It’s the Burger Kinda Hat!))
<Roxie_Ryaan> I *think* I blocked access to McG’s computer, though…. ::would have to ask Mattmun::
<RavenFel> ((<Kris> I’m not kind to burgers. I EAT THEM! >:9 ))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: Too true!))
<McKinney> ((<Matt-mun> :: roll over on couch, Zzzzzzz :: <Roxie> I’ll take that as a yes ))
<SypherSK> Oh, kats… ::sits up at that, worried face::
<RavenFel> ((::dies::))
<RavenFel> ::so waits for the plane to take off ‘n stuff::
<De’ Plane!> :: jets engines warm up and starts taxiing ::
<SypherSK> ((::ten minutes later:: <McK> ::breaks code on laptop:: <Roxie> But, he said…! ::look to Roxmun:: <Mattmun> I snored! Nothing but snoring! <Roxmun> ::pat Roxie:: We’ll get him yet… and his little dog too. <Mattmun> ::ha’s, has no dog::))
<RavenFel> ::peh only taxi? they should be limoing. XD I’m high class XD::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::Dies Sy::))
<RavenFel> ((::dies::))
<McKinney> ((::DEAD!::))
<SypherSK> ((::Dies limoing::))
<McKinney> ((<McK> More like High Maintenance <Fel> Fork over the fifty diamonds ))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((<Roxie> GNAR Mattmun! He never gives a straight answer! <Mun> ^_^ I dunno, I think it’s keen because it keeps me guessin’! <Roxie> GNAR! <Mattmun> MURHAHAHAHAAAaa! ))
<RavenFel> ((::laughs both!::))
<SypherSK> ((::dying at both!::))
<De’ Plane!> :: gets onto de’ runway and takes off witha lurch! ::
<RavenFel> ::in plane holdin’ on until they near the mark. readies a helmet that was given to her also.::
<McKinney> ((<Chance> Tell me again why we agreed to fly Fed Ex Cargo Jets again? <Jake> :: wearing a Fed Ex Uniform :: Because they gave us these nifty uniforms ))
<RavenFel> ((::DIES::))
<SypherSK> ((::DEADDEAD!::))
<SypherSK> Any idea what they wanted with all that? And, if they know what that laptop might have?
<PDA> :: the one that Roxie still has. Still has that tactical list on it ::
<SypherSK> ((<Roxie> Weeeeell… Out of all our electronics, they only stole that one filthy laptop with food down in the keys.))
<RavenFel> ((<Roxie>::after getting zapped into that thing, she didn’t want to ever touch it again. burned it up in the macrowave::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::faint self-directed smirk:: I assume they wanted information on our agents and any projects McG might have been working on. He apparently keeps a lot of his experiments documented on there. Here. ::pulls out PDA from a “holster” she now keeps it in:: This is the PDA that can access McG’s laptop if yo uwanted to poke at it.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::diees::))
<McKinney> ((<McG> :: blinks :: That’s *MY* PDA :: blinks again:: And she’s got it in a holster! Why that little…hey, that’s a good idea…))
<SypherSK> Hmm… ::takes the PDA gingerly and looks at it::
<SypherSK> ((::snorks!:: <McG> ::watches from his little cloud, taking notes of all the good ideas he thinks of in the afterlife::))
<PDA> :: does the same thing it did to Matrix. Transmits a high frequency audio transmission into Sy’s head :: “Deadmen tell no tales…”
<SypherSK> ::pulls back from it, blinks::
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> It’scursedpleasetakeitbackandburnititscaresme. ::run::))
<RavenFel> ((::dying::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> I’d be careful with that thing, by the by. It spat out a neural transmitter and sucked Agent Lyons and myself into a cyberworld.
<De’ Plane!> :: reaches altitude and place on course. ::
<SypherSK> ::arches a brow:: That’s… different. ::looks at it carefully:: I know he was paranoid… and never fond of CyberKats…
<SypherSK> ::is prolly a bit extra rattled from picking up a little of Prot’s memories of being “scattered” when he brought her back::
<RavenFel> ::a horse is a horse of course of course. ;D goes to the edge, looks down. @_@ loves heights! well when she’s got a chute. ;D itbetterwork! leaps outta de plane! faaaaalls ‘n watches ’til she gets to the proper height to deploy the chute::
<Altimeter> “5000 ft…”
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> And, I get scared a bit more everytime I come in and find Shrap tied up in a yarnball with a shiny coin tied to it. He’s never been right since the water, you know.))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::read that as “destroy the chute”:: <me> o_O; ::imagines Felony plummetting out of the sky:: ))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Felony> BANZAI!!!!! Death from above! ::rolls up into a ball, bombs building::))
<RavenFel> (((::diiies::))
<MKC Defense Center> :: seen waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down there, steadily rushing upwards ::
<SypherSK> ((<Dark Kat> ::seeing it live on Kats Eye News, is sucha proud father::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::absentmindedly poking the PDA. click to “Tactical List”:: Yes, Matrix didn’t want to risk it. And, honestly, I don’t think I’d recommend that a CK entered this particular PDA.
<RavenFel> ::looks at the building glancing from it and the altimeter::
<McKinney> ((<Dark Kat> :: then gets jealous :: I wish I could jump out of planes…<T-Bone> Hey, I’ll shove you out of one))
<SypherSK> ::nods:: Probably not the best idea… ::looks at the list:: What is this stuff?
<Altimeter> “3000 feet…”
<RavenFel> ((::dies::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> The PDA lables it as “tactical list”. (((<Roxie> I’m not sure what that means, but Mattmun seemed to hint that I should show it to you!))
<SypherSK> ((<Dark Kat> Really? Let’s go! ::drags T-Bone to plane:: ::some minutes later:: <T-Bone> Unf! This… ::pushshove DK’s stuck fat rear:: …is harder… *huff*… than I thought!))
<McKinney> ((<McG> It’s my grocery list! Yet another thing I DON’T need at the moment…))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::dies::))
<RavenFel> ((::dying both::))
<RavenFel> ::yes he said 35 feet didn’t he? XD::
<SypherSK> ::what sort of things are on the list?::
<RavenFel> ((<List> “sugar spice and everything nice. Oh and chemical X”))
<Altimeter> “1000 feet….” :: little thing on the side :: <Rate of Decent> “100 feet per second…”
<RavenFel> ::woooo! this is fun! ^_^ almost there. hand on the cord getting ready::
<List> “Defenses, Weapons, Unconventional Weapons, Really Unvonventional Weapons, Cyberkat Defenses…”
<SypherSK> ::arches a brow:: I’m almost afraid to know… ::tentatively looks up “CyberKat Defenses”::
<SypherSK> ((::and, some time later, is found clinging to Roxie and calling her “Mommy”::))
<Altimter> “500 feet…” <McK> :: flashback words of advice :: “Remember, detach as soon as you deploy or you’ll be ripped in two”
<RavenFel> ::ready to do both at the same time. does not want to be ripped in two XD::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::Dies:: <Roxie> ::pet Sy:: Ohhboy. o_o; ))
<Cyberkat Defenses> “Containment, Disable, Destroy”
<SypherSK> ((<PDA> ::has a drawing of a kat under a spray of water:: “First defense, water shield. They do not like water…. …. *I* do not like water. Scrap this idea.”))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::dies;:))
<McKinney> ((::DIES!::))
<RavenFel> ::when gets to 35 feet, no more, no less, pulls the chute’s cord to deploy then detatches self from the chute in one nice smooth motion! no ripping in half for meee!::
<Descent> :: goes from that of a 5000 foot drop to one of a 35 foot drop. Thankfully there’s a big puddle of mud underneath ::
<SypherSK> Urgh… Let’s start relatively painlessly… ::goes for “Containment”::
<RavenFel> ::tucks in to fall properly the rest of the way, rolls allong the roof a moment ow still a bit rough of a landing. huffs ‘n looks around as she gets to her feet… mud? onna roof?::
<RavenFel> ::thought she was to land on the roof not the yard, yard has lasers @_@::
<Notes> “After countless months of observation, relating to both my collegue Cyberkats and those under the employ of Dark Kat, I’ve come to this conclusion: They don’t like to sit still. Even the mos refined of them has demonstrated severe signs of obsessive compulsive behaviour. I’m beginning to wonder if this is a trait that is part of their programming. Anyway, as I have come to this conclusion, containment seems to be the most viable option-
<SypherSK> Well, that’s good to know…
<Notes> :: continued :: -Of course, how do you contain a Cyberkat? The basic approach of combining a non-conductive base material refined to its most pure form and put into a liquid or dust-like adhesive would result in a 90% probability of capture.”
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((<LB> Obsessive-compulsive? I am not! ::carefully brush hair into perfect style. adds barrettes carefully. accidentally ‘messes up’ her hair. take barrettes out. starts brushing again:: ))
<SypherSK> Mmm… ::nods, reading on::
<Roof> :: is muddy ::
<SypherSK> ((LOL! Powa LB! <Roxie> Hey! I didn’t program her that way! ::sniffs:: We don’t need her to clean the MBI; Sypher already does it.))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::dies::))
<RavenFel> ((::dies:: <Sy>::stops in his constant cleaning marathon:: Yeah! <Static>::pauses in her constant chasing of Matrix:: Huh? Me? <Matrix>::pauses in cracking wise:: Psh. <Prot>::pauses in scheming to take over the city first:: He is so wrong.))
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> ::thinks this all over:: Wait… Matrix doesn’t keep anything neat and clean. <Matrix> No, but I have an obsessive stalker and the sight of her makes me compulsively scream. Does that count?))
<Notes> :: continued to ‘Disable’ :: “Of course, not every situation presents an opportunity for capture. The next step of course would be disabling. How do you disable an electrical entity. The most simplistic method that I can come up with is discharging an negatively charged pulse of electromagnetic energy into the target, thus ionizing every electron within the Cyberkat. Due to the fact that no field testing has been done, I can

<RavenFel> ((::dyingatitall::))
<RavenFel> ::ah phew, didn’t wanna be fried like cricket in lawn. looks around roof. hmm… now what defenses are on it? Any skylights or doors around?::
<RavenFel> ::takes off helmet ‘n drops it onna roof top.::
<McKinney> <Notes> -only assume that one of the following would happen: Molecular destabilization resulting in the loss of limbs, complete system “freezing” resulting in a coma-like state, or reverse program execution. The consequences of the latter are yet to be theorized”
<SypherSK> ::makes disgusted faces::
<Roof> :: has no overly distinguishing features…except for a door ::
<RavenFel> ((<Sy>::screeeeeams clings to Roxie’s leg:: Stop stoooop telling me stuff!))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::Dies:: <Roxie> sorry, sorry! ))
<SypherSK> ((::dying::))
<PDA> :: still has that one category left :: “Destroy”
<SypherSK> This should be pleasant… ::choses that::
<RavenFel> ::makes way cautiously across the roof to the door. peers at it. ponders if it is hooked up to anything in the alarm or defense variety::
<SypherSK> ((<PDA> ::EXPLODES!:: <Sypher> Oh…. That was the “Destroy” under the main menu, not the CyberKat submenu… Uhm… Oopsy?))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::Dies::))
<RavenFel> ((::dead!::))
<Notes> “When all else fails, there is only one option left: Destroy. In order to accomplish this, I had to deeply analyze all recorded data about Cyberkats, both on the side of the law and on the side of the unlawful. ”
<Door> :: issa wired heavily. Has alarms attached, the whole works ::
<RavenFel> ::looks for any sort of codebox or electric lock::
<SypherSK> ::reads on, half-afraid, but curious all at once::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::reading over Sy’s shoulder. unconciously tensed to pull Sy away from the psycho PDA if nessessary:L
<RavenFel> ((<Notes> So I found a few that belonged to that “Frequency” and tested several theories on them. Alas, none survived.” <Sy> …. ))
<Notes> “My findings are not too incredibly surprising. In their achoherent state, they are far closer to being computers than being kats. Every computer needs specific parts to function, or else it crashes and effectively dies. After intense scrutiny, I have discovered these componets within the Cybkerkat being”
<McKinney> ((::DEAD!::))
<Door> :: has a 9 digit panel…and some exposed wires ;) ::
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> Wow… And, I thought Driver was just having angsty teen issues…))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((:die::))
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> I mean, sure he said, “The biologicals killed my friends!” but you know how kids exaggerate every little thing.))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::diees::))
<RavenFel> ::yey exposed wires. ^_^ prolly knows how to disarm such things easily. works on the wires a bit and disables the alarm after a few minutes::
<RavenFel> ::opens door then and quickly enters. shuts it afterwards and looks down the stairs to see if there’s anything else in the way before going down::
<RavenFel> ((::dies!:: <Freq> SEE?! SEE?! Not so paranoid now AM I?! HUH!? ::pokes Matrix ‘n Sy::))
<SypherSK> ((::DEADDEAD!:: ))
<Notes> “The ability to go achoherent is a Cyberkat’s greatest weapon. In order for this to occur, every single molecular fiber within the Cyberkat’s entity remains at a constant level of instability, able to transverse between physical and non-physical forms at the sub-atomic level. This instability must be controlled by a certain level of extradimensional synchronization. A simple EM pulse is enough to distabalize this-
<Notes> – causing the entity to be ripped to shreds…both in the electrical realm and physical realm”
<SypherSK> ::grimace:: In the worst way…
<Inept Guard> :: walks past Fel, not seeing her ::
<Notes> “Would you like to know more?”
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((<Sypher> … <Roxie> I’ll do it. ::yes:: <Notes> GARURGNNXXxxx ::snarl. attempt to eat Roxie:: <Sy> ::Flee:: ))
<SypherSK> No. ::pushes whatever indicates “yes” anyways::

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Felony> I’m not lost! I see Tribal Stone thing. I steal. No need for bothersome guards or lasers.))
<RavenFel> ((::laughs::))
<Notes> “Contrary to popular belief, a Cyberkat is not impervious. They can be destroyed if one is willing to put enough effort into doing so. My final and most interesting of research-related discoveries, especially in light of the recent ‘Protocol Incident’ have led me to pursue this idea quite enthusiastically.
<SypherSK> Enthusiastically… That’s great…
<Notes> “I have managed to localize the powersource of the Cyberkat. I’m not entirely sure what it is, but my best theory is that it’s some kind of artificially induced quantum singularity. This would explain their abilities to transverse between electrical/physical realms, to alter their shapes, sizes, and mentalities, and would also explain their ability to obsorb, discharge, and store power within themselves, even when in physical form.”
<RavenFel> ((<Prot> Oh great… ::slaps forehead::))
<RavenFel> ::peers around to where the door is to the Stone::
<Stone> :: in a glass case, with video cameras, lasers, sensored floors, and smell detectors ::
<SypherSK> Hmm… ::ponders this theory, has done some minor research into his make-up in the past, but never anything extensively, prefers to study languages and everyday feline behavior::
<Notes> “It just so happens that I specialize in quantum dynamics…because that’s the reason I’m here after all. Stupid irreversible timeline…oh, anyway. The process would be relatively simple. Utilizing a simple energy wave discharger attuned to the corret Cyberkat’s frequency and you would be able to displace the singularity from the entity. No battery = no Cyberkat. – Personal Note: I hope that Protocol comes back soon. I’ve already got a prototype model made. She’s in for a big surprise the next time we meet.”
<SypherSK> Well, at least I wasn’t first on his list…
<RavenFel> ::well then assumes no guards are around. … smell detectors? shakes head. could always do it the explodey way and use McG’s gun thing to just blast the lasers etc, but no, that’s too messy.::
<SypherSK> ((<McG> ::to Sy from above:: Don’t worry. She’s STILL first on my list. VERY, VERY first.))
<Roxie_Ryaan> Oh dear. That must have been what he used that… er..
<SypherSK> What he used when?

<SypherSK> ::blinks:: He was hit with a ray meant to destroy a CyberKat?
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::nods::
<Note> “In closing, I’d like to simply state this…especially if that Matrix or Sypher happens to be reading this. More likely Matrix, that paranoid freak. I’d just like to state that I don’t take pleasure in the killing of other lifeforms, but lately a few of these ‘impervious’ lifeforms have been gettign too full of themselves, and have nearly caused the deaths of MBI agents. Hopefully the development of this technology will reduce such risks. After all, it’s in our hands and not anyone elses”
<Protocol>::not just ANY cyberkat, but ME! ^______^ I’m special!::

<RavenFel> ::pulls out tranq gun. fires dart at the guard::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::Diiiees:: <Mattmun> See, like that! I pointed it at Roxmun!))
<MattSK> ((no blow gun? mawww….))
<RavenFel> ((::diies::))
<RavenFel> ((LOL no she’s not a pigmy (sp?) ))
<SypherSK> Hmm.. Typical cheery McGrath… ::studying the diagram::
<Inept Guard> :: Yoik! Gets tranqed in the back of the neck, stumbles around, then facefaults…into a trash receptical thing in the walls. Falls through it and disapears…clunk clunk clunk clunk…SMOOOSH! Lands two stories below in a trash heap ::
<SypherSK> ((<Trigger> ::has a label too:: “Squeeze repeatedly in short jerky bursts. This is less effective than merely holding, but it relieves tension. Also advise screaming, “Die, die, die!” while doing so.”))
<MattSK> ((ROFL!))
<Diagram> :: has numerous technical data on it. Power source, materials used, etc. ::
<Roxie_Ryaan> I believe this ::bythewaybecausemymunisdumb:: is the diagram for his machine. I’ve been working on reproducing it in the hopes of testing it on an inanimate object to see what happens.
<MattSK> ((<Shrap> :: immediately goes back to feline form :: Whoah! Don’t shoot!))
<LeoSK> ((:dead!::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::DEAD Sy!::))
<RavenFel> ::runs to the trash shoot.:: Oh you’ve got to be kidding… ::curses under her breath as she pulls out a lil’ spool that has supa long wire, enough for more than two stories. attaches it to the wall outside the trash chute (yey! I got it right this time, ‘cept different chute) and attaches wire to herself. crawls in and has the wire extend to lower herself down into the chute::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((:dies Matt::))
<SypherSK> ::just nods:: Maybe it would give us some clue what happened to him. I can imagine what would happen to a CyberKat easy enough… ::slight twitch::
<RavenFel> ((dang I got it wrong the first time))
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!::))
<RavenFel> ((chute not shoot! and here I bragged about typing it correctly later in that post))
<Inept Guard> :: lying face down in what one would hope is chocolate ice-cream…::
<RavenFel> ((::dies Sy ‘n Matt::))
<LeoSK> Hmmm..Are you sure you wanna recreate it? What it fell into the wrong hands…
<RavenFel> ::stops just above him.:: ewewew… ::makes a face and reaches down. turns the guard over with her foot and takes the guard’s keys and key cards quickly, along with anything else he might have handy for opening doors ‘n the like.::
<Inept Guard> :: still breathing, but brown bubbles come out nose. Has all the misc. stuff for the taking ::
<RavenFel> ::also removes her empty dart and puts it in the proper compartment of her belt. gets all the misc. stuff, then has the wire retract as she climbs back out of the chute::
<SypherSK> ::thinks for a minute, is a bit upset after reading about it as he never agrees that killing anyone is the right course of action, but is not surprised to find such a thing in McG’s files::
<Roxie_Ryaan> ::looks at her own hands. a completely unconcious guesture:: It’s a risk, granted. But after a few tests, if I can’t get it to work, I’ll either give it to the SWAT Kats or destroy it.
<MattSK> ((<McG> Hey! I had the containment and disable options up there too))
<RavenFel> ::blech… forget the stupid smell sensors. will hopefully turn them off too. makes way to the door after collecting her device.::
<RavenFel> ((LOL))
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Your definition of “disable” is more akin to “maim/kill”….))
<LeoSK> You’re right…who knows..maybe you can do something fort the greater good with it…
<RavenFel> ::uses the key cards to hopefully turn off the lasers, floor sensors, and smell sensors. bets he can’t control the cameras tho with his cards::
<SypherSK> And, it’s not necessarily any more deadly than some other weapons, is it? Or must it be? A heavy laser weapon would do just as much damage to a normal kat.
<MattSK> ((<McG> Oh! Why am I dead??? I’m missing out on arguing with Sypher!))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::Dies::))
<SypherSK> ((<Sypher> ::does not wish to argue, plots to keep McG dead to preserve order and harmony::))
<RavenFel> ::uses keys to get in the door. steps into the room cautiously. makes way towards the glass case with the stone in it::
<LeoSK> <Maybe we’ll find a way to get rid of a certain 2 enimies…>
<RavenFel> ((::dies::))
<Stone> :: seems to suck the light from the room the closer one gets to it. Feels…unusual, givin’ off some not so great vibes ::
<RavenFel> ::blinks and peers at the Stone. notes the “bad vibes” wonders how big the glass case is that its in and if its portable::
<Glass> :: is thick…like thick glass ::
<RavenFel> ::how big is the stone itself?::
<Stone> :: appears to be 9 inch by 2 inch by 2 inch rectangular prism. Comletely black, like obsidian ::
<RavenFel> ::pulls out a small bag to put the thing in. pulls out small laser for cutting glass with. feels a bit weary though as she begins to cut the glass with the laser, making a small circle on one side of the glass slowly. if she can that is::
<MattSK> ((<Fel> :: starts to hum the theme to 2001 Space Odyssey. :: It’s a “Mini-Lith” Hee!))
<RavenFel> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> ((::snorks!::))
<RavenFel> ::glances around to see what else is in the room she might want after she nabs this::
<Room> :: is empty aside from the Death Stone ::
<RavenFel> ::shrugs. considers her fifty diamonds enough for this one. finishes cutting the glass:: Alright my beauty, time to escort you out of here… ::says quietly to herself as she pulls out the glass with a small suction cup she stuck on thar her mun forgot to type. puts the glass on top of the case, and Fel hopes her mun isn’t about to get her keeled for this. wearing gloves btw in this episode. XD reaches in the case::
<SypherSK> ((<Fel> ::then goes psycho ginsu saleswoman and whips out a knife and just stabs it into the stone:: Cuts through anything! ))
<RavenFel> ((::dead::))
<Death Stone> :: LOTR style BG music, adding to the ominous-ness. ::
<RavenFel> ::Fel never saw that movie. so takes ahold of the stone? what happens?::
<MattSK> ((<Sauron> :: BIG red eye appears in front of her :: <Fel> Gah! :: then…later :: <Everyone running away> How could you do it? <Fel> It was just soooo much eyeball, how could I resist?))
<SypherSK> ((::SOOOOOOOOOOOVERYVERYDEADDEADDEAD!::))
<LeoSK> ((DEAD!!!!!!!!!))
<RavenFel> ((::dies!::))
<Stone> :: is taken ::
<RavenFel> ::pulls it out and plops it in the lil’ velvet bag. ties bag and smiles. ties bag securely to belt. then hurries outta the room, down the halls, up the stairs, and back to the roof. pulls out radio:: Captain. The item is secured. Now the question is, how do I get out of here without becoming barbeque chicken?
<MattSK> ((<McK> Uh…….:: puts her on hold::))
<RavenFel> ((::dies::))
<RavenFel> ((<Fel>::taps foot to elevator sounding music::))
<SypherSK> ((<McK> I’m in a tree a hundred feet away. Can you toss me the stone? <Fel> Oh, haha. ))
<RavenFel> ((::dead::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::dyin’::))
<McKinney> Uh…don’t…move…
<RavenFel> … :;doesn’t like the unsure tone in his voice::
<McKinney> Okay, here’s how this is going to work.
<McKinney> We need you to get to the highest point of the facility. Durk is gonna strafe past in a chopper, and fire a grappling cable at you.
<RavenFel> Alright. ::hurries over to the door. climbs up the small structure ‘n stands::
<Inept Guard> Hey you there! Stop!
<RavenFel> Oh great. ::raises her paws in the air:: Who me?
<Inept Guard> :: raises run, trying to keep it steady :: You’re tresspassin’ on Federal Property…and how’d you get in here?
<RavenFel> I fell from the sky. ::smirks stays on her perch. <hurry UP already Durk>::
<Inept Guard> I’m gonna have to report this…:: takes one hand off gun to reach for walkie talkie ::
<SypherSK> ((<Guard> ::eyes Fel’s mask and gloves and such:: You look suspicious… ))
<RavenFel> ::quickly pulls out her tranq gun and fires the second dart at the guard while he’s a bit distracted::
<RavenFel> ((::dies::))

<RavenFel> (((oh you colored eeet? ::clickies::))
<Inept Guard> :: Yoik! Staggers, then face faults, landing face first in the muddy roof. Proceeds to slide down it….THUNK. Lands multipe stories below into some more mud ::
<SypherSK> ((Purdiness, Klawzie! Awesome sparklies on ‘er dress!))
<RavenFel> ((Ooooo! She’s preddy! ::loves the coloring! ^_^ huggles muchly!::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((chee. thhankew! ::admits it was the “sponge” brush in Painter that got that effect, but is still proud of it:: XD ::hug Annu:: ))
<RavenFel> ::dude what’s with these guards fallin’. peers down at him. did lasers fire at the poor fellow?::
<Lasers> :: SLASH SLASH SLASH…but thankfully, they all zapped him on the way down, and merely removed all his articles of cloting except for his boxers. So is lying face down in the mud half naked ::
<SypherSK> ((::dying at Annu and de’ poor guards::))

<Inept Guard #3> :: approaches from behind, close range :: Freeze!
<RavenFel> ::siiighs this is infuriating.:: I am, its chilly up here.
<Inept Guard> Hands up! :: cocks gun ::
<RavenFel> ::mun trying to think of how to get Fel outta there and not get hit by lasers. there has to be a trick to it. raises hands after holstering tranq gun. only holds two at once darnit::
<Inept Guard> :: being a typical moron, puts his gun back in his holster as he takes out a pair of cuffs ::
<RavenFel> ::backflips offa the door thingy to land behind him. tries to karate chop him in the back of his head to KO him.::
<Inept Guard> Dur! :: gets konked in the back of the head. Face faults and slides down the stairs…clunk clunk BANG clunk clunck CRASH!!!! ::
<McKinney> ((<Kris> :: steps in :: As a moderator I must inform you that you’ve used up your share of inept guards <Matt> :: sigh ::))
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> ((<Guard> ::sliiiiides thru the door to the men’s room… cut scene:: *splash! flushing noises!*))
<RavenFel> ::sighs:: I’m gonna have to try to exit normally. ::into radio:: Durk’s taking too long. I’m leaving the old fashioned way. ::goes down the stairs. grabs up the guard’s hat ‘n jacket. puts hair up in the hat, makes sure jacket covers her belt ‘n such. removes mask and proceeds to walk to the front doors of the place XD::
<SypherSK> ((::dies Matt!:: Well, I’m keepin’ folks up… and I’m tired, so I think I’m turning in. ::gives Matt Burger King crown:: Here, humiliate all the inept guards you like. Don’t make me regret saying that *too* horribly.))

<Front Doors> “Prepare for Eyescan, finger print and breath test for clearance”
<McKinney> ((::snorks:: Cya Kris!))
<RavenFel> ::pulls out the explody gun:: Sure thing. ::backs up behind the front desk, and fires it at the doors then ducks down XD::
<RavenFel> ::just wants out as her patience has worn thin XD::

<RavenFel> ::uses lots of profanity XD::
<RavenFel> WHAT?!
<RavenFel> ::shouts into the radio XD::
<McKinney> ((<Fel> ARRRRR!!! :: just grabs one of those little golf cart thingies and barrels into the door ::))
<RavenFel> ((::dies::))
<McKinney> Something’s happpened. There’s been some kind of lockdown on all the technology we stole.
<Roxie_Ryaan> ((<Roxie> HAW HAW.))
<RavenFel> No kidding. I can’t use this blasted gun you gave me! Is Durk in the vicinity yet?! I’m tired of wasting time on these guards.
<Inept Guard> :: lunges to tackle her! ::
<RavenFel> ::ears flick and she turns around to try and kick the guard away as she runs back towards the roof::
<Roxie_Ryaan> (( ::rolling:: “I don’t like spinach, and I’m glad I don’t, because if I liked it I’d eat it, and I just hate it.” — Clarence Darrow ))
<Inept Guard> :: kicked, crashes into other guards, making big heap of guards ::
<McKinney> ((lol))
<McKinney> He’s on his way. Got a little side-tracked by some Enforcers. He’ll be there

<RavenFel> ::leaves?! no line shot to her? UGH! wishes these guys would just drop dead its just a stupid stone!::
<Inept Guards> :: all smile at one another. Yay! We got her, etc. ::
<Whooshing sound> :: interrupts de’ guards triumphant noises ::
<RavenFel> ::sighs. is outnumbered. then blinks at the whooshing sound. whuh?::
<Line> :: moving faster than the eye can see, wraps around her waist and lurches her off of the roof ::
<RavenFel> Gurk! ::yey! take me away bebbe! grabs onto the line! hopes they don’t start shooting O_o or have really bad aim if they do::
<Line> :: pulls her off the roof…but through the guards in doing so ::
<RavenFel> Gah ow hey watchit! ::kicks at them as she’s drug through ‘em. shouts up to Durk:: HIGHER you MORON! XD ::pleasant girl isn’t she? tries to start climbing the line::

<McKinney> Let me see the merchandise first
<RavenFel> ::narrows eyes. pulls it out of the bag as she backs up a bit from him. holds it up:: Here. See? Payment. Now. ::adds:: Please, Captain.

<RavenFel> Alright then. ::hands McK the Stone:: Its a very pretty artifact I must say. ::reaches for her diamonds::

<RavenFel> Nice doing buisness with you. ::says as she takes the case.:: Let me know when you need me again, sir. Perhaps we can discuss more of your organization, and ::tosses the gun at his feet:: that future boy’s toys.
<McKinney> Indeed
