Dr. Nowun continues scheming on how to get some Dark Matter. Noting the Enforcers have gained some in their evidence, he sends some of his lackeys to steal their Dark Matter samples. Meanwhile, Protocol wakes up to find herself being scanned by Globulous in some underground hideout of Dark Kat’s. He informs her that if she returns to serve Dark Kat, he will spare the lives of the rest of the cyberkats. Protocol agrees to serve him again, but is more motivated by the Dark Matter Globulous has as she has become addicted to it.

<LingXiao> Well… as much as I’d like that, my superior officers might not take too kindly to a civillian helping… although… I’m not really on duty right now.

<Globulous> You’re welcome to try, but I’d advise against it for the time being. Your body is still in an immense amount of shock at having been removed from the stone. A confrontation at this point would likely result in a nerous system overload, causing your death in roughly 5 minutes after having engaged me.

The reward will be great’ blah blah, here’s the good part: ’should you choose not to accept my gracious offer, then I will be forced to eliminate all Cyberkats.’ aaaand, there you go.

<LingXiao> <Josie> ::sits and explains in a nice neat summary about the first HS, then a few of the others:: So that’s why the Son of the space bugs has come back, to get rid of that pilot ace.

<Htargcm> <Homeless Kat> Ah! :: lifted offa the ground :: What are you? Some kinda monster?
<Protocol> No. I just work out regularly. ::walks over and opens the door:: Bye bye. ::tries to throw him outside::
<Htargcm> ((<Homeless Kat> You must be proud of yourself, beating up a homeless kat <Prot> Yes, actually ))
<JakeSK> Just the idea, y’know… What if you could meet another of yourself? What if they were really weird? Like that one girl’s other self who was exactly the opposite of her personality-wise.
<Protocol> ((::dies::))
<Htargcm> <Homeless Kat> :: booted out ::
<Protocol> ::hisses, slams the door shut. locks it and the windows. huffs a bit… remembers what Globby said about her condition…::
<JakeSK> ((::snorks:: <Prot> ::checks that off on her “Evil deeds” list::))
<Protocol> <Josie> I dunno… I’d like to think my other alternate dimension self would be similar to myself… I’m sure that’s possible.
<Protocol> ((::dead:: <Prot>::has to work her way up again on the evil threat levels::))
<JakeSK> ::nods, then cocks his head:: Wonder what would be stranger to meet… Another of yourself or someone that looked like you but wasn’t?
<Htargcm> <Someone in Theater> SHHHHHHH!!!!
<JakeSK> ::blinks, looks around, notes the screen is in the middle of a preview::
<Protocol> <Josie> Another of myself… like a clone? ::mrrs at the one who said SHHHH:: Its just the slide show, geez… does he really need everyone to be quiet to unscramble the famous movie actor’s name?
<Protocol> <Josie>::then notes they’re in previews:: oops..
<JakeSK> Eh heh.. ::sheepish himself::
<Htargcm> ((<Other Patron> SHUT UP! <Jake> :: cringe, sinks into his seat trying to hide ::))
<Protocol> <Josie>::scoots to sit closer to Jake, an empty seat between them now. talks quieter:: I guess the stranger of the two would be one who looked like me but wasn’t…
<JakeSK> ((<Jake> ::goes all second season Razor on patron:: <Matt> Oh, *now* Kris gets in a decently violent mode…))
<JakeSK> ::nods:: That was my thought…
<JakeSK> ::quietly::
<Protocol> ::sits down now and calms herself. sighs:: <Should I really lower myself and work for HIM again? I’d rather be formatted… but… Globulous has a piece of that dark matter… MY dark matter…::
<Htargcm> <Preview> “You thought we wiped them out…you thought we were safe…you thought wrong” :: action-type scenes :: “This Summer, get ready for HARD SHELL 6: SON OF HARDSHELL”
<Protocol> (( > not ::))
<JakeSK> Whoa… Another one already… ::in a whisper::
<Protocol> <Josie>::quietly:: Yeah… I didn’t realize they made another for release so soon after this…
<JakeSK> Guess they’re confident they have a following…
<Protocol> ::lays on the carpet in the middle of the empty living room:: <No… I can’t… Driver wouldn’t like that, that’s for sure… but… maybe I should just… for this once. To get that rock. Then blast HIM and Blobulous at once…>
<Protocol> <Josie>Guess they are.
<Protocol> ((<Josie> Let’s plan the wedding after the opening weekend okay? ^______^ <Jake> … w-wedding? ))
<JakeSK> ((::DEAD:: <Jake> H… HEY! What are you…?! ::as Josie moves over again.. into his lap::)0
<Htargcm> <Preview 2> “Imagine if one day you were just minding your own business, when it hits you: Crime. It’s everywhere. This happened to two urban window-washers, who decided to take matters into their own hands. Meet Rib-Eye and Scythe, two common kats turned vigilantes and taking to the skies in the custom built Ultrakat as the SWUT Kats.” :: explosions, action, etc. :: “SWUT Kats: The Awesome Squadron, coming this Summer, bingo ya’ll”
<Protocol> ((::dead:: <Josie> Feed me popcorn? ::sprawls out:: <Jake>::’s eye twitches::))
<Protocol> ((::DIIES::))
<Protocol> <Josie>::snorts::Oooh kats alive… looks like they’ve make a rip off of the SWAT Kats… wonder if they can legally sue…
<Protocol> ((made^))
*** Protocol is now known as JosalynLyons
<JosalynLyons> <Protocol>::falls asleep soon, as she’s tuckered out again::
<JakeSK> ::is covering his mouth, trying very hard not to laugh out loud::
<JakeSK> ((::SOOOOODEAD both!::))
<Htargcm> <Movie> :: credits begin ::
<JosalynLyons> ::shuts up now, entranced as the movie starts.::
<JakeSK> ::still trying not to laugh too hard, remembering the shot of the window washers nearly plummeting to their deaths after the evil-looking “Dim Kat” cut the lines on their platform while they were washing the windows on MegaKat Tower::
<Htargcm> ((::snorks, is reminded of the time Bruce and Terry went to see the “Batman Musical”))
<JosalynLyons> ((::DIES Kris::))
<JosalynLyons> ((LOL that was pretty funny XD “A vicious cowardly lot” or something XD Bruce was not thrilled XD))
