Dr. Nowun gets the idea to put devices on the Enforcer’s arrays so that he too can detect cyberbeing activity and sends out his henchmen to go attach them. Ling visits the MBI to check and make sure Sypher, Syntax and the other cyberkats are alright. Soon Nowun’s goons arrive to put the last device on the array at the MBI when they are spotted. Ling, Sypher and Syntax along with Josie go out to investigate and see what they were doing to the array.
The next day, Protocol shows up at the MBI as per orders to check in. Coming in extra early, Protocol manages to sneak the Dark Matter rock in a bag to carry on her person before greeting Sypher with an offer to work with the MBI again to help them out. Soon she up and leaves, Sypher none the wiser, and uses the Dark Matter rock to transform herself. With the sentation of having powers again, Protocol decides to do more than just test them.
<_Matt_> 4 Well anyway, RPG…what’s the word, oh yeah, START!

<_Matt_> ((anyway, if there is trouble, deepspace #sk_rpg is set and ready to go if needed))
<SypherSK> ((Yeah, Sy told Ling Syntax was out for a walk with an agent. We’re assuming this is several weeks from the last plot and Ling’s been busy with other incidents and, thus, hasn’t gotten back to talking to Syn.))

<SypherSK> <Let’s not risk it now. Someone might see you… and it would definitely bring Major Sphinx and his commandos here immediately.>
<SyntaxSK> <Probably. I imagine that wouldn’t be the best of circumstances>
<LingXiao> I suggest we go in. I’d advice both of you to still keep your powers in check. It’d be nice to think they disabled these things but I seriously doubt it. I’ll get a bomb squad to check them for possible explosives.
<SypherSK> <Yeah.>
<SypherSK> Thank you. ::to Ling:: That would probably be a good idea.
<LingXiao> ::nods:: Mind if I use your phones to call it in now?
<SypherSK> Not at all.

<SypherSK> ::growls, goes to blast the door::
<DM_Stone> <Elevator Chime> :: rings anew, as more Commandos come in, this time wielding a familiar piece of technology. A weaponized Anti-weapons scrambler ::
<SypherSK> ::blinks, turns to see them::
<DM_Stone> <Manx> :: is hefted up above the ground by his collar, eyes wide :: P-p-please, don’t hart me!
<Protocol> ::smirks:: I’m not here to hurt you. So long as you do what I want- ::blinks, still holding Manx, turns seeing the door blasted open::
<SypherSK> ::actually, had paused before blasting upon seeing the new commandos::
<DM_Stone> <Commandos> :: brush past Sypher, and collectively kick down the door ::
<SypherSK> ::watches them go… then hurries after, anticipating Prot blasting away::
<Protocol> ::oh whoops XD well they open the door XD::
<Protocol> ::growls, holds Manx in front of herself. raises paw gathering energy::
<Protocol> ::her paw that’s not holding him that is::
<DM_Stone> <Commandos> :: moving quickly, take up firing position :: <Commando 2> Fire! <Commandos> :: activate the device, and engulf Prot in its familiar yellowish-green beam ::
<SypherSK> ::watches, hopes it works::
<Protocol> ::yelps drops Manx! what’s it do? neutralize her powers?::
<DM_Stone> <Blackish Energy> :: seems to be neutralized, but she’s still that blackish color…::
<DM_Stone> <Commando 2> Move in! <Commandos> :: set the scrambler aside as they move in for an attempt at apprehension ::
<SypherSK> <But, it didn’t work last time…. Can’t she still fling them around?>
<Protocol> ::eyes dart side to side as she backs up. tries to send a blast at a few of them as they get close, but can she?::
<DM_Stone> <Blast> :: sputters in her hand, not even enough to generate a spark ::
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> Stay back or I’ll… make your hair smoke!))
<DM_Stone> <Commando 2> :: moves in for a tackle ::
<Protocol> Whot th’? ::growls!:: Not again!! ::backs up, tries to punch C2 in the face to get him away::
<Protocol> ((::dies!::))
<DM_Stone> <C2> :: decked in the face, and sent in a very bad backflip, landing on his stomach :: <Other Commandos> :: pause at that ::
<SypherSK> <Stoppit, Protocol… You aren’t going to get to speak with Manx… and, like I said, it wouldn’t do you any good.> ::stepping forward::
<Protocol> Don’t touch me! ::mrrs tries to shove past them all as she tries to figure out what they did. stops at Sypher:: <Out of my way!>::tries to shove him aside as she sidesteps him::
<DM_Stone> <Commandos> Oof! :: collectively shoved aside. Crash into bookcases, one lands on Manx’s desk ::
<SypherSK> ::goes acoherent so she just swipes through him… tho’ there might adverse effects there given her current state::
<Protocol> Gah! ::as her paw passed through, prolly shoved at it from his energy, causing her to stumbles sideways. blinks at him a moment, then attempts to escape to the elevator::
<Protocol> ::or shoved it away that is… like two opposite poles of a magnet::
<SypherSK> ::is shoved himself:: Awk!
*** Dr_Nowun has quit IRC (Exit: )
<Protocol> ::skids to a stop and presses the button frantically XD::
<DM_Stone> <Elevator Door> :: opens ::
<Protocol> ::gets inside. taps the first floor button::
<SypherSK> ::blinks, looks after her, well, she can’t get that far when he can zap after, grabs some Commando’s radio:: Advise you send medical assistance immediately. ::into the radio, then drops it and zaps after Prot::
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> ::taptaps foot as elevator descends, then blinks as it stops:: <Elevator> 69th floor. Going down. ::door opens, people crowd on, then scream and rush off… this continues for the next 68 floors::))
<DM_Stone> <Elevator> :: starts to head downward, with some elevator music playing quietly inna BG ::
<Protocol> ((::Dies::))
<SypherSK> ::zaps into the elevator and appears:: You can’t behave for two days?!
<Protocol> ::mrrrs pacing in the small elevator as it goes down. doesn’t understand what happened… what they used on her… close to tears then gasps as she’s startled out of her thoughts:: I.. I didn’t think all this would happen!
<SypherSK> What did you *think* would happen when you went on a rampage?!
<Protocol> Its not my fault they interferred!! YOU brought them here didn’t you?! You foolish kat! You set off the arrays!
<SypherSK> YOu think they wouldn’t notice you disrupting traffic down a major street?!
<DM_Stone> <DM Energy> :: at Prot’s shouting, begins to come back to life ::
<SypherSK> And, heading straight to City Hall to boot?!
<Protocol> Just… Be quiet already!! ::growls and when they reach the first floor and the doors open she goes to shove him away, or try to again out of the elevator::
<SypherSK> ::is shoved, going acoherent as he flies thru the air::
<DM_Stone> <Brigade of Enforcers> :: are in the lobby, ready to greet Prot with weapons aimed ::
<Protocol> ::steps out watching Sy fly off XD then glares at them. charging another blast, attempts to send it at the brigade in the lobby to scatter them away from the door::
<SypherSK> ::collects himself and comes zapping back::
<DM_Stone> <Enforcers> Gah! :: are scattered ::
<Protocol> ::mrrs makes a run for the door, and tries to run from Sy XD::
<SypherSK> Protocol! ::goes to chase, then is abruptly “yanked” or so it seems to him, back into the powerlines:: <What?!> <C-Kat Half> <Further pursuit would be ineffective.> <Sypher> <That’s not the point! I have to keep her from hurting anyone.>
<Protocol> ::glances over her shoulder hearing Sy call, sees him being pulled/zapped back into the powerlines. looks ahead again as she scurries down the street.:: <Powerlines… can I go acoherent into them?>::rushes up to one and tries to go acoherent and zap into a nearby powerline XD but will she just do a belly flop on the ground?::
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> Ahhhhhhhh….! *WHAM!* <Commandos> ::blinkblink::))
<DM_Stone> <Powerline/Telephone Poll> :: the one that Prot be runnin’ gets dented should she be jumping at it. No achoherency achieved ::
<Protocol> ((::DIES::))
<Protocol> Oof! ::slams into it and falls backwards on her bum XD shakes that off:: Crud! … a downside to this… no matter. ::mrrrs gets up quickly and rushes off again::
<SypherSK> ::is still fighting with his other half::
<DM_Stone> ((::snorks at that image::))
<SypherSK> ((<Prot> A minor setup! ::turns to run, runs right back into the pole::))
<Protocol> ::hopefully looses any pursuing commandoes as she darts into alleys ‘n side streets::
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> ((setback even! Der…))
<DM_Stone> <Enforcers> :: lose her ::
