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

Reynolds removed the bullets from his gun and gave it to Dr. Zanasiu. "Here. I won't travel armed until everyone in the group trusts me with ammunition." He strapped the gun to his back. "Maybe if I'm lucky I can bluff somebody with this."

Dr. Zanasiu pocketed the cartridges. He then turned to Dr. Landon. "You both may have to be driving armored Humvees. As will Zachary and myself. Clyco, Stern and Reynolds may have to man the turrets or drive one of the Stryker vehicles. We'll need at least 1 Stryker."

"We should try and contact Dr. Joe and her team." Zachary said.

"Good idea. Vic, Feral and Akio will be invaluable. If they come we can use more Strykers.

Bradley radioed all ADSA members. "All ADSA members, report to the main control room."

---------------------------

The four scientists with Vic and his team received the transmission.

The two Humans turned to the soldiers. "The leader of ADSA has ordered that we report to the main control room. You are welcome to follow us."

(OOC - I'll let anyone create and control the ADSA group members. Keep the number under 6. There's already 4 confronting Vic's team.)

Stern indeed had experience driving armored vehicles. In his earlier days in the service, he used to drive a humvee.

"Just point me in the direction I need to go. I'll drive whatever it is you need me to."  the corporal replied.

Reynolds nodded. "All Pelvanida guards are trained in driving all forms of military vehicles, including 6x6, tracked and heavy armor. We are also trained in mounted weapons use."

"Good. That's one way you can help us. You can help drive one of the Strykers. Sorry but I don't entirely trust you with the position of gunner." Dr. Zanasiu replied.

"Understood. As soon as the ADSA members and Dr. Joe and Vic's team get here, we'll head to the main hanger." Zachary said

Clyco just nodded and saluted.

At this point he was knee deep in this operation, so he really had no choice but to play along.  At least he had a secret weapon, one that was almost done charging up again.

Apart from that, a car chase could be really interesting.

(OOC: So when do I send in the tanks?)

(OOC - Caustizer, you can start dropping hints like Clyco receiving a radio message or something similar or you can show what's going on back at a Canadian military base. Once Kenjiro loads the Lab 101 and the convoy starts rolling out, you can start having the tanks and infantry platoons start converging on Pelvanida.)

"We'll also need Hawkeye, Kagetora, Cale, Ridley, Agito and Slash." Dr. Zanasiu said.

"We'll have to move without them. We have no way to contact them and we last saw them in the cafeteria. They could be anywhere, hunting down Dragonstorm personnel or whatnot. We have no time to go searching for them." Zachary replied.

At this point, a thin Ostrich in a lab coat who had strapped on some stolen body armor and armed with an M16 with the underbarrel grenade launcher entered the lab.

"Hello. I am one of the ADSA members that Dr. Bradley requested." the Ostrich said.

"Guys, this is Dr. Arnold Greene." Dr. Bradley said.

"Pleased to meet you Dr. Greene." Dr. Zanasiu said, shaking his hand.

"And you must be Dr. Zanasiu." Dr. Greene replied.

"Indeed I am. However, call me James." Dr. Zanasiu then gestured to his allies. "These are my allies: Dr. Landon, Aisha Tennes, Zachary Johnson, Alfred Byford, Dr. Bailey, Corporal Stern and Sgt. Clyco."

Dr. Greene then introduced himself to all the mentioned people.

(OOC - As I previously stated, all ADSA members are public domain.)

"I was one of the first members. ADSA isn't that old. It was founded only after the terrorist assault." Dr. Greene replied.

"You might want to sit down," one scientist whispered to Kerzach. "Things are about to get rough."

Dr. Branston radioed Ariol again. "Ariol, this is Branston, I have intercepted a radio transmission from the control room. They are trying to recruit all the ADSA scientists from the base. They may be mounting a last ditch assault. Branston out." He then cut the transmission. "This is it. Time to start rolling out." he muttered. Dr. Branston then tapped several buttons on the console.

As he did so, several deep metallic clicks and rumbles indicated that the latch points had been deployed. A large green sign that read "fuel cell active" lit up in his control panel.

Dr. Branston then did the final, irreversible act, pressing a covered red button that triggered the explosive bolts that broke away the power cable and severed the lab's attachments to the rest of Pelvanida Base.

He radioed Ariol again. "Ariol, this is Branston, Lab 101 is ready to be evacuated. Latch points are deployed and the lab has been separated from Pelvanida. Branston out."

Dr. Branston then spoke into the PA system. "Lights will be cut to conserve electricity." He cut the lights in the lab.

----------------------------------

Dr. Kerzach sat down as the scientist indicated. He gulped as he heard the explosive bolts detonate. "Shelton, this is it. No turning back." he whispered to Shelton.

----------------------------------

A man in an odd combination of a chef's outfit and an armored vest walked into the control room. He was armed with a Mossberg 500 shotgun and a large cybernetic Falcon was flying behind him.

"Ah, nice to see you Nixon." Dr. Bradley said. He then turned to the others. "This is Dean Nixon, Double Helix Eatery chef."

"The Falcon's name is Ridley or so Lt. Hawkeye said." Nixon said.

"Where's Hawkeye?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

"Dunno. Hawkeye entrusted Ridley to me. Said he was going to take his crew and hunt down Dragonstorm personnel. Haven't seen 'em since."

(OOC - Kenjiro, you can start moving Lab 101.)

(OOC - Kenjiro, if you want me to change this, say so.)

The convoy headed into the grounds of Pelvanida. The base's defensive turrets were retracted and there were no lights to be seen anywhere.

The truck drove to the designated area and with the help of a built in crane, lifted Lab 101 onto its bed. The men quickly secured it to the bed.

"We're done, let's move out." the truck driver said.

Soon the convoy began to make its way out of the base. In all the process took about 6 minutes.

---------------------------

As soon as the lab was lifted onto the truck and the convoy began to move out of the base, the gathered scientists cheered.

Dr. Kerzach was partially asleep when the lab was being lifted but the cheering of the scientists around him woke him up.

"Erm, what's the cheering about?" Dr. Kerzach asked groggily.

"If you weren't asleep, you would have known! In any case, we're moving out! Lab 101 is now heading out of Pelvanida." the scientist said. She then turned around and went out of earshot.

"Oh, [censored]!" Dr. Kerzach whispered to Shelton. "We're totally [censored]!"

------------------------------

"Hey! I hear a truck engine or several!" Zachary said. "And they're coming from the front of the base."

Dr. Bradley blanched. He grabbed his radio. "All ADSA members, disregard what I said previously! Meet by the main hanger!"

"This is it. Move out!" Dr. Zanasiu shouted.

"Any time to go to the armory?" Hans asked.

"Hell no!"

"Aisha, Dr. Landon, Dr. Greene, Nixon, Clyco, Stern, Zachary, Alfred, Hans, Werner this is it, our finest hour!" Dr. Zanasiu shouted. "To the main hanger!"

Dr. Zanasiu, Dr. Greene, PFC Reynolds, Nixon (with Ridley), Alfred, Hans, Werner and Zachary bolted from the control room and took off at a run towards the main hanger.

"Good luck." Dr. Bradley said.

(OOC:  The convoy part is fine.)

The three assassins by Lab 101 jumped into the convoy to keep watch over the operation.  

Ariol instead headed for the armory to meet up with the remaining team.  He gets word from Dr Branston that the Lab was ready to go.  "Head on out, then," he replied.  "There are a few more experiments that need 'liberating' before we depart."  There were some experiments trapped in the original facility that may now be overrun by their unwelcome guests...

----------

Deathwind watched from afar in his cell, as the invaders entered the facility.  He cursed in his mind that he remained trapped in this room, waiting to be killed like a fish in a barrel.  He must think of something soon...

----------

Another explosion from the generator room was felt by the soldiers.  "That sounded very close to the sub-levels," Vic said.

Soon after, Dr Joe, Snow, and the young experiment appeared behind them.

"What happened?"

"The sub-levels started to cave in," Dr Joe replied, and then looked to the armed scientists.  "You did check them, did you?"

"They're clear," Feral replied.  "Apparently they're part of an 'anti-Dragonstorm' team in the base.  Anyway, have you ADSA members got a hold on any useful data?"

"Even better," Aiko added.  "You have a computer we can use to hack the database?"

(OOC: Sorry if my posts aren't as long here as in some of my other RPs... I've been busy lately.)

Stern was ready to mount a turret on any vehicle. He had experience with these kinds of weapon system since the war back in '01...

"This flash drive contains everything we've intercepted and some data that we've pulled out of the databanks. None of us are cryptographers so we can't decipher anything. However if we need more data, there is a small lab outside the sublevels with a few computers." the Ostrich, replied handing a flash drive to Feral. "By the way, I'm Dr. Allan Falco. And these are my partners, Dr. John Volkowitz, Dr. Klaus Ostermann and Dr. Erik Bjurling." he said, gesturing to the two Humans then the Lemur.

"Oh, that's worrying." Dr. Ostermann said. He then turned to the others. "The convey has arrived and it seems like they took Lab 101 with them. We just got orders to head to the main hanger."

Dr. Falco shook his head. "Take Volkowitz to the main hanger. I and Bjurling will accompany the soldiers."

Dr. Ostermann and Dr. Volkowitz bolted from the lab and took off at a run to the main hanger.  

------------------------

Dr. Zanasiu and Zachary hopped into two separate Humvees and started them. Hans manned the powerful experimental laser turret on Dr. Zanasiu's Humvee.  

Alfred and Hans were in the process of starting the generator to power the massive doors.

PFC Reynolds got into a Stryker assault vehicle and started the engine.

Alfred and Werner soon got the generator started and the doors gradually slid open.

Werner got into the last Humvee and started the engine.

Alfred ran outside into the night air and grabbed the nearest vehicle, a large pickup truck. He chuckled as he noticed that they left the door unlocked and the keys hidden inside. He soon started the truck.

Ariol and his two remaining assassins made their way across the cafeteria and into the secret facility, finding many of the dead across the floor, three of them his hitmen.  Without hesitation, he went to some of the holding cells, which remained untouched by the fight.

There were three Dragonstorm experiments:  Deathwind, a human, and an Alligator.

"I hear this hell will soon cease to exist..." Deathwind buzzed when his cell was opened.

"In due time," Ariol replied.  He then sprinted into a nearby office, in which a suitcase contained much needed data for the continued Dragonstorm.

Now, they must reach a vehicle to escape...

----------

Just then, Feral's radio began to call.  "Black Widow, Black Widow, this is Echo Base.  Over."

"Black Widow, Black Widow to Echo Base.  We hear you loud and clear.  Over."

"Black Widow, you are ordered to evacuate the base immediately.  Black Hawks en route to pick you up.  Over."

"Copy that, Echo Base.  Require added choppers to pick up friendlies.  Repeat, we have friendlies that will need more Black Hawks.  Over."

"Roger that, Black Widow.  Choppers will be in in 0030 hours.  Echo Base out."

"Black Widow out." Feral put his radio away.  "Vic, you and the others get to the choppers first.  Aiko and I will get to that computer for more info.  There's got to be a reason we were called out of here."

"Yes sir," Vic replied.

"Not at all." Alfred replied.

"Wait for us!" Dr. Greene called. He and Nixon, slowed down by their armor bolted from the hanger. Ridley, beeping excitedly, was following them.

Nixon, and Dr. Greene climbed into the bed of the pickup truck. Ridley flew above the truck and beeped even more frantically.

"Let's rock and roll!" Alfred shouted. He mashed the horn on the truck.

Dr. Zanasiu, PFC Reynolds, Zachary, Hans and Werner drove out of the hanger as soon as they heard the horn.

The powerful beams of the vehicles' lights slashed the night.

Dr. Zanasiu's Humvee took the lead and drove down the road out of the base. The other vehicles followed.

Soon, the Pelvanida convoy was driving down the desolate highway. The lights of the Dragonstorm convoy could be seen in the distance.

--------------------------

Dr. Volkowitz and Dr. Ostermann, armed with a Sig-Sauer P226 pistol and a Remington 870 shotgun respectively, entered the main hanger.

"Damn it! They left without us!" Dr. Volkowitz said.

"We'll take my car." Dr. Ostermann said.

The two scientists entered the parking lot and got into Dr. Ostermann's car, a silver  BMW 7 series sedan.

"Bradley, this is Ostermann, the pursuers left without us. We are driving a BMW 7 series sedan. Ostermann out." Dr. Ostermann radioed.

"Ostermann, this is Bradley, follow them and hurry!" the radio crackled.

Dr. Volkowitz started the car and sped out of the parking lot.

------------------------

"Zanasiu, this is Bradley, tell your team not to shoot at a silver BMW sedan that's coming up behind you. They're the two ADSA members sent to help you. Bradley out." the Humvee's radio blared.

Dr. Zanasiu activated the radio. "Everyone, this is Zanasiu, do not shoot at a silver BMW sedan coming behind us. Repeat, do not shoot at a silver BMW sedan coming behind us!"

Hans then shouted the message out.

Dr. Greene tapped on the back window of the truck, which Alfred rolled down. "Don't shoot the silver BMW coming behind us. It's and ADSA vehicle."

"Gotcha." Alfred replied.

"Dammit, I can't pretend to be a stork for the rest of my life..." Shelton noticed Kerzach was sitting down. "Hey, why are you--?" He was interrupted as underneath Lab 101 they hit a bump. He was the only scientist in the lab to sprawl to the floor.

The others nearby got a good chuckle as he staggered to his feet. "That's why we all sat down," smiled the man to Kerzach's left. "There are going to be many more where that came from."

Shelton looked around. "Then where's a chair?"

He clicked his light on briefly, and discovered there weren't any left. Scowling, he made to sit cross-legged, and collapsed due to another bump.
