<Protocol> ((::DIES MBI Theme!::))
<SypherSK> ((<Agents> ::play the theme, running gag is that Lamb spends the whole song holding his triangle and asking, “Do I hit now?” and Jason says, “No, at the end”… then the song ends and there’s silence:: <Jason> Now already! <Lamb> ::hits triangle with a flourish:: ::final guitar twang, scene cuts to episode name::))
<Protocol> ::is… one hot momma! And I mean temperature wise. mun knew the previous plot would end before she could catch up XD at least read past the part about her radioactivitynessness::
<Protocol> ((::diiies!::))
<SypherSK> ((::DIESDEAD Feral::))
<SherrySK> ::Is loafing around the MBI! Bored! Not that he’s complaining. The less eventful the day is, the elss chance one has of getting killed in some horrible, nasty, violent way, so an uneventful day is fine with him::
*** Commander_Feral is now known as Dark_Kat
<SypherSK> ::has just finished bullying the NPC agents through a thorough cleaning of the labs, things were in such disarray it took Casey forever to come up with his formula::
<SherrySK> ((<Taurus Bulba> :;Makes faces at DK:: Haaa haaa! I shot your ship fulla holes!))
<Dark_Kat> :: lesse, still in prison. Thinking about what happened with Protocol not so long ago, and just how it was that she managed to get a hold of his rock ::
<Protocol> ((LOL!))
<Protocol> ((<DK> Not in THIS RPG AHAHAHAHA! ::Whacks him:: <Taurus> Clovis! Slap him silly! <Clovis> Yes Taurus. ))
<LeoSK> ((::blinks:: wasn’t RJ Tremor in the RPG a loooong time ago?))

<SherrySK> ((RJ Tremor?))
<SypherSK> ((::DIES::))
<LeoSK> ((I see. Found his livejournal.))
<Dark_Kat> <How did she find it? How did she stabilize it…did she stabilize it?> :: scratches chin :: I’m all for ending the world, as long as *I’m* the one to do it.
<SherrySK> :;Fiddles with a Rubik’s cube to pass the time::

<SypherSK> ((<Protocol> ::comes to rub it in to Sypher that she now has great power and all that… whilst raiding the fridge:: So, now I… mmmph… …have the power I need to… mmmm… thith good! … rule the world and I… you going to eat that? <Sypher> ::arches a brow:: So, you’re the world’s most powerful homeless bum?))
<Protocol> <I need help with this… > ::thinks to herself as she looks at her paw with the rock embedded in it:: <But… who…? Certainly not Dark Krud… and Sypher doesn’t know anything and will just try and take this away from me again… >
<Protocol> ((::DEAD!::))
<SypherSK> Well, Protocol’s back on the loose…
<E4> :: klomps up behind her :: You are under arrest.
<SherrySK> ((<World’s Most Powerful HOmeless Bum> ::Actually that dude from Mutation City, mutated from contact with the katalyst flow::))

<SherrySK> ((LOL))
<SherrySK> ::Boy, he’s REALLY been out of the loop!::
<SherrySK> ::Briefly considers selling the blasted coffee shop to Herb so he won’t have to keep taking off from his MBI duties::
<Protocol> ((<Sherry> ::has been absorbed into solving this durned rubix cube all this time! >.<!::))
<SherrySK> ((::DEAD::))
<SypherSK> I let her out on parole… We couldn’t very well keep her forever and keep telling people we brought her in for disturbing the peace… Unfortunately, she stole our piece of that Dark Matter being and gained its powers…
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <Sherry> ::tells Herb he’s on duty, doing important work like saving the world… then locks himself in one of the MBI offices and fiddles with his Rubik’s cube.))
<SherrySK> Dark Matter…? ::Arches one of those bushy brows, then erks:: Powers?
<SherrySK> Oh, no…
<Protocol> ::blinks looks up and turns around to see E4:: Pardon…?
<Protocol> <How’d he locate me?!>
<SherrySK> ((He’s special!))
<SypherSK> Yeah… ::had been reading the file on the Dark Matter, shoves it Sherry’s way:: Powers like that creature that attacked downtown a few weeks ago. It’s weird energy source that’s given her super-strength and some CyberKat-like powers…
<E4> :: in one swift move, takes advantage of her surprised state, and reaches out and slaps on a pair of paw-cuffs ::
<Protocol> ((LOL))
<SherrySK> ::Takes, reads:: I see. Suffice to say, this is not good, I assume. ::Sighs, thumping the Rubik’s cube on the desk rather hard::
<E4> <Sphinx> :: watching thru binoculars on the outskirts of the park :: Looks like the tip was good after all. Disturbance in the park that met its description before it attacked the prison. Now it’s back.
<Protocol> ::growls and stands up. this stuff seems to make her more tempermental:: You think its that easy do you? ::attempts to melt the cuffs off her wrists with somma that energy::
<SherrySK> I always said she was dangerous…although I can’t blame you for having to set her free.
<SypherSK> ::sighs:: I wonder about it now..
<E4> <Cuffs> :: get red hot, but don’t melt :: <E4> You’ve been fitted with extra heat-temperate bonds, capable of withstanding highly volitile heat levels.
<SherrySK> So…is there a way to, erm, take back these powers of hers? I mean, they’re not like her Cyberkat powers. They come from this, eh, rock.
<SherrySK> So, take away the rock, and take away the powers, am I right?
<E4> <Sphinx> Looks like we got it. :: getting ready to call in the paddy wagon ::
<Protocol> ::blinks and looks at him:: Wonderful. Thanks for the permenant jewlery. ::backs up from him, charges up a blast, and with her paws together, tries to fire it at E4::
<SypherSK> ::nods:: She must have it on her person somewhere… ::doesn’t know it’s embedded::
<Protocol> <Ling>::hmm prolly there with Spinx?::
<SherrySK> ::Nods as well:: Any idea where she is?
<Protocol> <Ling>::Sphinx that is.::
<E4> :: gurk, hit with the blast. Knocked back a bit ::
<E4> <Sphinx> Uh oh…:: looks back :: Xiao, we might need more reinforcements if this gets ugly
<Protocol> <Ling>::nods:: The MBI building is closer than our HQ…
<SherrySK> ((<Sherry> ::Yes! Called in to help fight Prot! Grab flame thrower!:: ^_^))
<Protocol> ::turns around to start to walk off XD::
<SypherSK> ::shakes his head:: She hasn’t even contacted me to gloat in days… Not since she tried, and failed, to kill Dark Kat at Alkatraz…
<Protocol> ((::dead::))
<SherrySK> Hmmph..
<E4> :: gets up, and pursues after her, grabbing her by the shoulder :: Halt
<SherrySK> Well, she’ll turn up sooner or later. Egomaniacs like that always do. They can’t stand not being the center of attention.
<SherrySK> Sometimes I think that’s why they want to rule the whole bloody world, you know?
<E4> <Sphinx> Hold off that for a second. Let’s give out guy a few more minutes :: watching thru the binoculars again ::
<SherrySK> ((<NG> :;Jumping up and down in the background as Sy and Sherry talk:: Look at me! LOOK AT MEEEE!))
<E4> ((our*))
<Protocol> ::turns:: LET ME GO!! ::growls heats herself up, raises paws around to try and send him another blast::
<SypherSK> Could be… Goodness knows I can’t figure out why Protocol wants what she wants… She tries to make it sound like she’s doing things for the good of the CyberKats, but she means to rule over them with an iron fist too…
<Protocol> ((::DIES::))
<E4> :: thie time anticipates it, reaching out to grab both her wrists to point them up so that they fire away from him ::
<SherrySK> She just wants power, plain and simple. Just like Dark Kat, Doctor Viper, and all the other criminal filth we deal with. ::Oooh, is inna baaad mood tonight::
<Protocol> <Ling>::nods:: Right. ::watching from a distance. ready with her cell in case::
<SypherSK> ((::DEAD!:: <NG> Hmph! ::gives up, goes to take a donut from the box open on the table:: <Sy and Sherry> ::instantly turn around and stare:: What are you doing?!))
<SherrySK> ((LOL))
<E4> ((<E4> thi-teh-thuh-*this*))
<Protocol> Hey! ::tries to kick at his body with her foot! hard!::
<SypherSK> ::sighs::
<SherrySK> <Cyberkat Tracker Thingy> ::Nearby, swivels around of its own accord to focus on the battle between E4 and Protocol::
<E4> :: issa kicked, and hard it be, as he goes flying back about 15 feet. Rolls for a second, before getting back up :: <Impact exceeded initial force estimate>
<Protocol> Leave me alone you pathetic tin can! I’m not doing a bloody thing wrong right now!!
<SherrySK> ::Meanwhile, in his mountain stronghold, Doctor Nowun watches the battle on a screen, controlling the Cyberkat tracking device with his ParaSpyte::
<SherrySK> <Nowun> Ooooo, THIS is new….
*** SherrySK is now known as Dr_Nowun
<E4> Subject wanted for numerous charges ranging from minor domestic disturbance to assault on city officials, authorities, and property.
<Dr_Nowun> Zoom in, get a closer look. I’ve never seen a Cyberkat like this before. ::Can’t yet tell it’s Prot::
<Dr_Nowun> <Xander> ::At the controls:: Yes, sir. ::Zooooooom in on Prot::
<Protocol> ::grrrs. fires another blast:: I’ll destroy some property alright! YOU!
<Dr_Nowun> Guh! It’s HER! What’s happened to her?! She’s…she’s monstrous! ::Blinks::
<Protocol> ::is hulked up bebbe! XD and taller and blackfurred with her clothing darker and fitting shorter::
<SypherSK> ((<Nowun> ::once Xander’s zoomed in, blinks at the image onscreen:: What is THAT?! <Xander> Er… I believe it’s a nostril, Sir… One moment… ::zooms out a bit::))
<Dr_Nowun> Look at that POWER!
<Dr_Nowun> <Xander> Is this some ugrade the Cyberkats go through or something?
<E4> <Incomming projectile object. Take evasive maneuvers> :: leap tuck n’ roll as the ground he was standing on explodes in firey flame ::
<Dr_Nowun> Noooo, this is something a lot differant. A lot more….unnatural and somehow delightfully sinister.
<Protocol> ((::DIIES nostril::))
<Dr_Nowun> <Xander> But how can you-
<Dr_Nowun> I cna tell.
<Dr_Nowun> I feel it. I know. Trust me.
<Dr_Nowun> ((<Nowun> Evil….knows evil. <Dr. Smith> ::SUES!::))
<Protocol> ::kneels, puts paws to the ground spreading them as far as she can. puts foot on the chain, then pulls up her paws while standing on the chain to try and break the cuffs::
<Dr_Nowun> And what in the blue yonder is that she’s fighting?
<E4> <Cuffs> :: begin to streeeeeetch, then break into pieces ::
<Dr_Nowun> <Xander> Um… ::Thumbs through the folder he got from Nolway:: Some sort of advanced…I’m unsure. All this technobabble confuses me, sir. ::Hands it to him::
<E4> <Sphinx> :: blinx :: Xiao, about that backup…might be a good idea to put em’ on standbye
<Protocol> ::smirks. rubs her wrists a bit then fires a few more blasts in E4′s direction::
<Protocol> <Ling> Contacting. ^^; ::calls up the MBI with her cell::
<Protocol> <Ling>::prolly has a bit of disturbance from the radiation flying overthere::
<Dr_Nowun> Hmm..perhaps we should try and get ahold of one, and put a ParaSypte on it. A MOBILE Cyberkat hunter would be much, much more useful.
<SypherSK> ::blinks, hearing the phone, hurries to the office and picks it up:: MegaKat Bureau of Investigation?
<Dr_Nowun> <Sherry> :;Fiddling with Rubik’s cube again::
<Dr_Nowun> <Xander> Now, sir?
<E4> :: slides aside to avoid one, but gets hit in the shoulder/upper arm, and spins around, the force knocking him to the ground again :: <Damage assessment…primary systems 65%…> :: gets back up anew, his vision becoming slightly static-filled ::
<Dr_Nowun> No, no. Let’s just watch and see what happens. This is getting interesting, to say the very least.
<Protocol> <Ling> This is Dete- static- Xiao. Lt. Greypaw i-fizz- that you?
<Dr_Nowun> ::As he watches, his eyes light up, his gaze locked on Prot:: I…..WANT…that power.
<Dr_Nowun> ::And, end spooky cameo by bad guys::
*** Dr_Nowun is now known as SherrySK
<Protocol> ::runs towards E4 now, and throws a punch at him::
<SypherSK> Detective Xiao?
<Protocol> >>>LOL Sherry
<E4> :: issa punched, stumbles back at the impact, but regains stance and takes up defensive posture ::
<SherrySK> Ah-ha! I finally solved it! ::Grins at cube::
<Protocol> <Ling> Yes! Myself and Major Sphinx are at Manx Municipal Park. One of those Dark Matter th-fizz- shown up. Since your HQ is closer, we’d like for you t-fizz- some back up for standby.
<SherrySK> :;Looks up at Sypher::
<SherrySK> ((::Would like to see an E4 vs. Maws fight in the future, oooo::))

<SypherSK> ((::DEAD::))
<SherrySK> What’s happening? ::Stands up, all eager::
<Protocol> <Ling> Thanks. We’ll be waiting. ::hangs up:: A few MBI’s will be on their way, sir.

<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> Think you’re up to dealing with her again?
<SherrySK> Great…my first night back and I have to deal with her again? ::Sighs, pulls on his gloves and holster belt::
<E4> :: blocks kick at the ankle, which sends the servos in his arms whirring at the impact, sparking slightly ::
<SherrySK> Yeah, I think I can handle her a second time, Dark Matter or not.
<SypherSK> ::checks his blaster, making sure the powerpack’s charged::
<SherrySK> ::Grrr, twirls his gun all fancy on his finger, ready to kick some evil Cyberkat booty::

<E4> <Sphinx> Yes. Now the odds shoud be somewhat evened…as long as our guy manages to keep his strength up.

<Protocol> <Ling> You said something about a protocol.
<SherrySK> Um… ::Looks at Sy, as if asking whether or not he should explain to the N4Cers::

<SypherSK> ((<Sphinx> ::blinx and thinx::))
<Protocol> <Ling> Well do YOU have a solution, Agent? ::mrrs::
<Maj_Sphinx> We’ve got no other choice. We’ve tried everything else, but just like the last one it wasn’t enough. We’re gonna have to excercise extreme force. It’s the only method that’s been proven to work.
<SypherSK> <You’ve already attacked City Hall and Alkatraz! They don’t need you to be actively doing anything! And, they’re calling in an airstrike!>
<SherrySK> No, but all I’m saying is you Enforcers are narrowminded that whenever your high-tech toy fails you call for jets and choppers to blow everything into dust.
<SherrySK> And, mind you this isn’t a monster we’re talking about, at least not in so many words.

<Maj_Sphinx> It hasn’t shown itself to be otherwise. It’s attacked numerous locations without provocation, injuring dozens of kats, some of whom just happen to be friends of mine. We’ve tried practical orthodox attemtps at dealing with this. We’ve sent waves upon waves of Enforcers, we’ve tried tanks, guns, advanced technology, none of it worked. The only thing that did work was a laser guided bomb.
<Protocol> ((BRB))
<Maj_Sphinx> ((k))
<SherrySK> ::Scoffs:: There you go again, using the term “it.” Did it ever even cross your minds that she might be being controlled by the Dark Matter stone she has in her posession? ::Wow, he’s sticking up for Prot! He’s really inna weird mood::
<Protocol> ((::backerz::))
<Maj_Sphinx> What are you talking about? What stone? :: looks over at Xiao :: What are they talking about?
<SherrySK> The piece of the original Dark Matter monster, right? ::Looks at Sy::
<Protocol> <I’ll move! Just let them try and track me.> ::holds her head, wishing the weapons scrambler would hurry and wear off, isn’t feeling so well, overheated::
<SherrySK> She got ahold of it, and that’s what turned her into, well, THAT. ::Points at Super Prot:: According to the files we have, anyway.
<SypherSK> ::looks up at Sherry, losing his concentration, dude, what’s the agent been saying?!… nods dumbly::
<Protocol> <Ling> I I don’t know sir- she WHAT? ::blinks at Sherry::
<SherrySK> ::Sighs::
<SypherSK> It’s true.
<Maj_Sphinx> You mean that piece of evidence did that? :: looks back in Prot’s direction :: How did this occur? None of our Enforcers were affected by it.
<SypherSK> ::looks to Ling, not sure they should mention to Sphinx she’s a C-Kat… mebbe just play, the “we dunno” game::
<SherrySK> I don’t know, and I wasn’t even there when it happened, but as much as I admit I dislike even the normal Protocol, the fact is she’s not herself at the moment. At least, I don’t think so.
<Protocol> <Ling> … Perhaps… she found a way to use it like this…
<SypherSK> We’d had her in custody and just released her when she stole our sample of the Dark Matter… I can’t give you any scientific explanations.
<Maj_Sphinx> Regardless of whether or not she’s who you say she is, This ‘Protocol’ is a very big threat. I don’t know if you’ve watched the news lately, but she hasn’t exactly been keeping to herself. We treat the insane the same way; if they’re a threat on the grand scale then it doesn’t matter if they’re in control of their actions or not. We determine their mental status *after* the situation is dealt with.
<SherrySK> ::Grumbles, this is why having two separate law enforcement agencies is a bad thing::
<Protocol> <Ling> ::looks at Sypher:: Your Lt. Korat once tried to reason with the other… perhaps, you could do the same?
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> You blow up the crazy people in this town?! <Sherry> That’s it; I’m moving to a place where they’ll just put me in a home…))
<SherrySK> ((LOL))
<Maj_Sphinx> I wouldn’t advice it. Lt. Korat almost got killed when she approached the last one.
<Protocol> <Ling> Perhaps at least distract her then, while the rest of us attempt to retrieve the stone?
<Maj_Sphinx> ((advise even))
<SypherSK> ::bites his tongue on saying, “I’ve been trying” and then nods::
<Maj_Sphinx> What you do is at your own discretion, Agent. If you get injured or even killed I won’t be held responsible.
<SherrySK> Well, that sounds like a plan. If that fails, THEN you guys can blow her up to your heart’s content.
<Protocol> ::has turned again to slowly walk off, feeling heated::
<SypherSK> That’s alright. I’ll take the risk.
<SherrySK> ::Doesn’t like Mr. Sphinx…::
<SherrySK> ::Guy’s like a mini-Feral::
<Protocol> <Ling> I’ll help as well, Major.
<SherrySK> And I’ll stay here.
<SypherSK> ((<Sherry> ::figures if Prot ever drives him nuts, Sphinx’ll advise they blow him up::))
<SherrySK> ::Blinks, realizing what he said; said it without even thinking…*gasp!* is Sherry scared of Super Prot?::
<Protocol> ((LOL!!))
<Maj_Sphinx> :: looks at Xiao, and sighs :: Alright detective. I’ll give you until however long it takes for her to leave the park.
<Protocol> <Ling>::looks at Sy:: Ready? ::wouldn’t suggest this if Sy wasn’t a cyberkat. stands::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> I gotta newsflash for you….))
<Maj_Sphinx> :: then hands his radio to Sherry :: Since you’re staying behind, I trust you can hold up your end of the bargain :: isn’t gonna let her go without himself ::

<Protocol> ((LOL Sy XD))
<SypherSK> ((<Sherry> I get to say, “Blow her up?!” ::eyes shining with glee:: <Sphinx> I thought you were just arguing agains… <Sherry> It’s complicated.))
<Maj_Sphinx> We try it your way, if and when it fails, I trust you’ll call in the strike. :: takes out gun, checking it ::
<Protocol> ((::DIES Sy::))
<SherrySK> Me…? I never said I would do it. I said you could. ::Frowns::
<Protocol> <Ling>::makes sure her piece is ready as well in its holster. takes off her jacket and lays it on the ground.::
<SherrySK> Fine, fine, fine. ::Sighs:: The story of my life…
<Maj_Sphinx> If you don’t and if I survive, then I’ll be severely displeased. :: taking out telescoping night-stick ::
<Protocol> <Ling>::to SHerry, gently:: Then at least call us in backup.
<Protocol> <Ling> If we’re… taken down. ::oh so hopes she’s not putting all her trust in Sy for nothing. Hello pressure XD::
<SherrySK> ::Narrows eyes at Sphinx:: I don’t take threats kindly, Mr. Sphinx.
<SherrySK> But, have it your way.
<SherrySK> Should you fail, I’ll call in some choppers to blast everything into oblivion just like you requested.
<SherrySK> Or jets, depending on your aircraft preferences.
<Maj_Sphinx> Thank you :: sincere, if somewhat rushed :: Alright, let’s go.
<SherrySK> ::Exhales:: Great…my chance to destroy Protocol once and for all I’m blinking.
<Protocol> <Ling> ::nods goes out of the bushes, makes way to Prot. goodness. will have to talk/rp with self maybe XD blah::
<SherrySK> ((Hey I do it all the time lol))
<Maj_Sphinx> ((<Prot> No you won’t :: flick :: <Xiao> X_X <Annu> That’s not very nice ))

<SypherSK> ::fills out parental info based on whatever he made up with to go with his Greypaw alias:: Well, without the rock, she’s powerless for the moment. One of the other CyberKats and I stripped her of her powers earlier.
<LingXiao> Well then that’s good. No rock, no powers, no threat. Maybe she’ll calm down. ::says hopeful, though assumes that’s not true::
<KaeruSK_> ::sigh:: No thank you… I was actually thinking about stepping out for a while.. Not sure exactly what I should do at this point…
<SypherSK> We can only hope. But, once she got that thing, I realized how desperate she was to have her powers back… Taking them away might have been worse than the alternatives… Made her more desperate…
<LingXiao> <Josie>::pours herself a cup, sits back down:: You going home then? That’s where I want to be. ::smiles:: That paperwork is so dull.
<LingXiao> ::quirks brow:: Alternatives?
<KaeruSK_> Perhaps…I need something to do though. I’m a trifle bored.
<SypherSK> At least I know her normal powers and how to counteract them… And, she learned a long time ago that one CyberKat against another is a pointless fight.
<LingXiao> <Josie> Well… ::ponders:: My shift’s almost up. Maybe you’d like to go get something to eat with me? Its hard to really spend time off duty with most of the agents around here, we’re all so busy.
<KaeruSK_> ::raises an eyebrow:: Sounds very promising!
<KaeruSK_> ((i’m getting tired now…it’s 4am. gonna hit the hay))
<LingXiao> Well you didn’t know that this other dark matter business would come about, Lt.
<LingXiao> ((maw okiee))
<LingXiao> <Josie> Alright. ^_^ ::just don’t drain me when your mun returns XD::
<SypherSK> ((<Josie> Yay! My mun was setting me up to get eaten!))
<LingXiao> ((::DIES::))
<SypherSK> ((<Josie> ::with Kaerumun leaving, escapes::))
<KaeruSK_> ((Heheheh. You’re safe now! ;) Talk to you guys later!!((
<KaeruSK_> ))even
*** KaeruSK_ has left #mbi_sk
<LingXiao> ((Okiee!))
<SypherSK> ((G’nights!))
<SypherSK> ::just nods::
<LingXiao> ::looks over his form to make sure everything looked legit. takes hers and his up to the desk and yadda. exits with him:: Going to make it back to your HQ alright?
<SypherSK> Yeah, I think I can make it alright. ::is going to need the walk to think things over,… and figure out a way to deal with Kaeru w/o his CyberKat half::
<LingXiao> ::nods and smiles:: I’m sure things will turn out alright. After all, we’re able to drink water again aren’t we? ::referring to the Dr. Viper crisis from the past few days::
<SypherSK> ::chuckles:: There’s one plus.
<LingXiao> ::pats him gently on the shoulder:: I need to head this way. I’ll see you around, Lieutenant. Let me know if you need anything further.
<Maj_Sphinx> ((Well, I’m gonna head out))
<SypherSK> ((G’nights!))
<SypherSK> Alright. And, if you need to talk about the CyberKats… Well, you know where to find me…
<LingXiao> ((LOL Night then ::needs to go too. is about to fall over. hasn’t been up this late in awhile XD::))
<Maj_Sphinx> ((night all. Cya all tommorow!))
<Maj_Sphinx> ((or is it later in the day? ;) ))
<LingXiao> Right. And thanks for your help. ::waves ‘n heads off towards HQ to retrieve her car::
<SypherSK> ((::snorks::))
<LingXiao> ((LOL I won’t be on for alt tomorrow, gotta spend time with some fam))
<SypherSK> ::and, heads off himself, lost in thought::
<SypherSK> ((End there?))
