The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Adrian nodded.
<Young, I may be.  But hey, the only reason I tell you these things is so that I can...maybe...eventually get you to...maybe...try them sometime...>
He thought, blushing brightly under his fur...

(Not going to happen Adrian. Dating you I could possibly see. Sharing a kiss with you, maybe, but doing anything that is inappropriate, just to "turn you on"? No way.) Krystal replied.

<Well, you never know.  After all, maybe someday we'll be close enough, then you'll be willing to try it, and who knows, right?"
He teased, looking across the water...

<Simple.  I don't see a ring or any sort of indication that you two are.  Plus, if you were, I doubt you'd offer me a date so readily.>
Adrian thought, then looked over at the staff.
"Lovely.  More vines."
He joked...

<Besides, even if you were engaged, I'd be okay with sharing...> Adrian chuckled, edging carefully across the vines.
"I vote that you hold onto it for now, Fox.  After all, you saw it first."
He said, smirking a little...

Adrian nodded.
"Yeah.  Krystal, when we get to it, I think you should take the last staff.  I...don't trust myself with it."
He said grimly...

Adrian landed on the ground gracefully.
"Yeah, that's the next part.  One more staff left to find, then...whatever we do after that."
He chuckled.

Adrian nodded.
"Right, but do we even know how to get it to the surface?  Or do we just make that up as we go along?"
He asked...

Now we have to put them back in place, and they should rise us up to the surface. We can't get back to the Surface in the Blue Marine.. its too damaged.."

Jason was in a room he assumed had to be important as the walls and ceilings were marked with colorful carvings and enough warmth to roast a duck. He held in his hand the last staff needed to raise the sunken city back to the surface, but something was interfering with his communicator. He was still shocked such a room was in this place and for the tenth time he tried his comm. "Hello? Dad, Fox, Krystal, Adrian? Anyone... can you read me respond!" he said rather bored, but frantic as he didn't know if they were alright.

Bill for his part was confused. He knew his son was alive, but nothing he tried allowed him to talk. It seemed that Jason was plugged into a massive electro-magnetic field that kept his com. unit silent. For the moment Bill was slumped forward in the command chair of the Great Fox with a worried expression. "Just be alright Jason." he said aloud to no one in particular.

Adrian smirked a little.
"Darn.  So that means I gotta give up this staff, huh...?  A real pity...I'm kinda fond of it."
He said, looking at it...
