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

In regards to help for Weyland-Yutani's factories, couldn't they also get help from Jayden?  As he is a cop after all, but he is at a loss at the moment, as he has no way of contacting Alfred and the others since Trinity had stolen his cellphone.

So, he can help them get in rather easily as he is more than willing to help them out, all they would have to do is go to the police station and ask for him is all.

I posted that Shelton went to sleep, but I've reverted that post. I don't think I need to eschew th RP completely, but just be aware that my posts will be sparse for the next few days,  and any questions asked Shelton will reply to all in large staggered posts.

I am not sure of the rest of the group knows his name.

Also, I assume a profile for Kain, Trinity and Jayden are forthcoming?

Ah okay, well I was believing that since Jayden has contacted Alfred before, that Alfred could perhaps mention Jayden to everyone else, you know, explain who he is sort of thing.

Yeah, they are coming in due time.  And don't worry, I still have the profile template to go by as well, so I'll get them up soon enough.

Here we are, decided to actually do it now, so yeah, here are Jayden's, Trinity's and Kain's profiles.

Name: Jayden
Age: 26
Species: Human
Faction: Police/FBI
Appearance: He wears a suit usually, has short black hair.
Specializations: He's a marksman and a negotiator normally
Powers/Cybernetic enhancement: N/A
Personality: He is rather friendly, but does tend to up hold the law in his own hands

~~~

Name: Trinity
Age: 27
Species: Human
Faction: Unknown, but is evil
Appearance: She usually wears pants, shoes, a shirt and a coat on to keep weapons and what have you inside. She has long black hair as well.
Specializations: Marksman, agility, computer knowledge, hand to hand combat
Powers/Cybernetic enhancement: N/A
Personality: She is rather cold hearted, has no care for human/animal life at all, will shoot and kill anyone without hessitation.

~~~

Name: Kain
Age: Unknown
Species: Reptile
Faction: Scientists/evil
Appearance: He wears shorts and a scientist's jacket over as well.  He also has green scales as well.
Knowledge: He has knowledge of how to create Dragonstorm experiments
Powers/Cybernetic enhancement: N/A
Personality: He's a cold hearted, ruthless criminal so to speak, but keeps the location of his facility a secret with the help of Trinity. He, much like Trinity, but on a deeper level, cares nothing for human/animal life at all, especially with always calling Aimee by her "producation" name Subject #17

Hope that's good enough, I can answer any questions about them that anyone has.

Btw, Kain has something he's working on, which will be revealed down the track some more.

However, I have one question on how Dragonstorm actually work, namely the experiments, just to try and get some things cleared up about them, as I know they mostly have no free will, save for Deathwind.  However, do they listen to only who creates them sort of thing? And how powerful are they actually allowed to be? Cause I don't want to create one that ends up being too powerful by mistake you know, would like to create a Dragonstorm experiment correctly you know ;)

Cause I know, when Kain asked about Dragonstorm in the video conference, Aisha replied with them being murderous psychopaths, but would she have been refereing to the experiments or the agents in general?

Aisha was referring to the agents.

There are 3 generations of Dragonstorm experiments:

Generation I - free will and capability to speak English (Ex: Deathwind).

Generation II - have some free will (alignment is permanently set at one stage in the growing process)  but communicate in beeps and whistles (imagine R2-D2) (Ex: Ridley)

Generation III - no free will, communicate in beeps and whistles

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

Also, it is possible to hack into the experiment's brain during the programming process and have it fight for you (done by Shelton to Ridley in DS II).

Any combination of 3 total powers (cybernetic and psionic) is permitted.

And this is the creation process of the experiments:

Quote
"Composes of, and I quote, 'continuing Pelvanida's genius while overcoming the flimsy moral issues of the mainstream staff." Shelton looks up. "This guy's nuts. Not even nuts nuts. Machiavelli nuts."

"Keep reading."

"Right." Shelton furrowed his brow. "According to this, Dragonstorm steals top quality embryos from the research labs, clones them, and returns them overnight. Then, it injects each embryo with an untested stream of DNA, chemicals, and/or hormones. It then uses --oh my god, how'd they get one of those? -- an Accelerated Growth Pod to speed up the growth process of the embryos to birth."

"I thought Accelerated Growth Pods were illegal."

"They are, due to the almost guaranteed retardation of the subject's brain waves. You'd think that would render the experiments worthless." Shelton kept reading. "Once born, the experiments that reacted favorably to the injections move on to the next phase. The others are disposed of." Shelton broke off. "This is just sick."

"Shelton..."

"I know, I know. Okay. Phase Two of the process involves altering and improving the surviving experiments through psionic and cybernetic enhancements."

"Wait, they use both?"

"Which, once again, would cause any normal brain to overload, much less these experiments' already mentally unstable ones. This just wouldn't work!" Shelton scanned the page. "Oh, God. This is how it would work."

"What?"

"Once testing is done, the subjects are placed back in the Accelerated Growth Pod and grown to fighting age. Then, after the subjects are removed, their brain, which had died long ago, is surgically cut out and replaced with a neural net." Shelton looked up. "This causes them to have little to no individual thought processes, and unswerving loyalty to Dr. Zenarchis! Not to mention cyber and psionic enhancements, and genetic superiority!"

The main weakness is the back of the head where the cybernetics connect to the natural tissue. Also, they are not immune to toxic chemicals.

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

That should answer your question. If not, I will he happy to clarify.

F-22, are Hans and Werner still under your control or can I release them into the public domain?

Yeah, cause the hotel has just been evacuated prior to the bomb going off, having trashed at least two rooms, possibly more via a collapse of a room or two above.

I have Trinity still at the hotel, but still in disguise, but yeah, I too am wondering what the next move for the group shall be.....perhaps examine the DVD that Aimee has on her?  And don't worry, I do know what's on it, which I'll post in once they actually do get around to examining it.

Ah okay, cool.  Looks like Trinity has caused them to loose precious time indeed, undoing all that info gathering in one whole night.

I should have Stern do something soon. If I had one wish, it would be for more time here. I don't know why things are so slow lately. A lot of stuff is happening at once in real life with me.  :blink:

I know, right? I keep logging in and seeing pages of stories have been added when I wasn't around. Stern and Shelton should start talking to each other more, they act at the same speed :)

Noname, I can take control of Stern until you have more time but only if you want me to.

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

Note that my latest post makes it sound like Cpl. Stern died. He did not but they think he died because they can't find him and they assume the worst.

I can answer some, most are still at the hotel, but Aimee's gone off ahead in a stolen cop car in order to chase down Trinity.  Shakila has been kidnapped by Trinity, but why, you'll see soon enough, once Trinity decides to explain it XD

Stern will be... gah. Sooner or later, I'll become a more regular poster here. Stuff keeps coming up.  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:
