"Thomas Stern?" She asked back, but shook her head "No, sorry, I can't say that I remember you, you don't look familiar to me"

Aimee then looked over to Aisha "All I know is that the facility I managed to actually escape from, gave me these, something....I don't think I even asked for" she spoke, showing them her cybernetic arms.

"However, what I do remember is the name of the facility that treated me, Trinity Facility" she then added on with a small sigh "However, if you do not mind, I would like to come along anyway"

" We'll certainly be glad to help you Aimee.. Hopefully as your memory gets better you'll be able to tell us more.. are you hungry.. because I think I have some food back at the hotel.."

"We're always glad to have allies," Zachary said.

Alfred approached Aimee. "Since he will probably be adventuring together, I guess we should introduce ourselves. I am Alfred Byford," he said. He then looked at Zachary.

"I am Zachary Johnson," Zachary said.

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters approached the group and introduced themselves to Aimee.

"Well, I guess we should thank you for assisting us during that unexpected gunfight," Zachary said.

"Hey, no problem." the foreman replied. He then lowered his voice. "But seriously, what are you exactly after? Something tells me you're not looking for drugs."

Aimee nodded back to everyone else as she folded her arms, glancing over at the foreman "Don't look at me, I just got here myself, I don't even know what they want, but something's telling me it's got something to do with weapons?" she asked now a bit more curiously.

The team reached a room with paths to other rooms and levels...

...and ducked behind anything they could find as the two assassins let out a volley of gunfire at them. "They're in the stairwell," one of the assassins radioed in.

----------

Three more assassins were called from the deck to the levels below...

----------

The sounds of gunfire, although nearly impossible to hear in most of the ship, was picked up quickly by Deathwind's antennae and he picked up speed to the source...

"We are looking for Dragonstorm agents." Stern told Aimee, in no complex terms. "I know, you're probably thinking that they have a stupid name, and they really do, but they mean deadly serious business. We could use your help. I remember that you were quite a good shot with a handgun." Stern thought to himself about the stupid name of the place where she was from. Trinity facility. Everyone was giving self-important names to their groups and places. It was really a joke. Most places weren't named like that. Who had ever heard of the Dragon National Energy Laboratory, or the Angel Institute for advanced research? Really.

Dragonstorm experiments? They do sound rather dangerous, even if the name sounds....odd" Aimee said as she looked at the handgun Stern had given her earlier on "I was a good shot? I just don't really recall it myself" she added on.

Images flashed in front of her eyes, to which she closed her eyes for a few seconds before opening them and looking to everyone else, giving off a small smile too "Uh, yeah, I'm fine....but yeah, I can help out anyway" she gave off a bit of a smile anyway.

Aisha Tennes at your service My father is Admiral Tennes.." aisha said " we really should be getting back to the hotel it is getting close to morning.."these agents we are chasing are terrorists, in every sense of the word. we've been trying to catch them for months, but with no luck..

Capt. Lutra sent more men to the hold.

Rho Squad set up positions near the stairwell.

"Capt. Lutra, this is Rho Leader, we are in position," Rho Leader replied. He was a Cobra armed with a submachine gun.

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

Zachary looked at the foreman. "Cpl. Stern more or less explained it," he said.

Alfred the looked at Aisha. "We've got to get back and tell Dr. Zanasiu about this," he said.

The foreman then cleared his throat. "In any case, we will shall alert you if we capture or find anything of importance," he said.

Spc. Crota came up to the group. "Guys, I found this piece of paper on Mr. Diament's body," he said holding up a piece of wrinkled paper.

Zachary took the piece of paper and gently unfolded it. "All right, it looks like we have our first clue," he said,

"Well, we're ready to head back," Sgt. Masters said.

MrDrake · **Reply #229 on:** February 12, 2010, 03:03:33 AM

"Wait? Head back? Where to? I mean, is it to the hotel Aisha here spoke of?" Aimee asked rather curiously

She put the gun into her pockets before she folded her arms with an arched eyebrow. There were still blanks that did need to be filled in for Aimee as a few things had been explained, but not all by the sounds of it to her anyway.

Serris · **Reply #230 on:** February 12, 2010, 03:13:30 AM

"Yes it is," Alfred said. "We'll introduce ourselves fully once we get back to the Redwood Inn."

Nick22 · **Reply #231 on:** February 12, 2010, 03:24:10 AM

Yes, and " Aisha began to yawn " it is getting quite late and I'm sure you're tired too Aimee.. We'll introduce yourselves better once we get back to the inn and get some sleep. We've got our first clue.. what does it say Zachary?" she asked, trying tio stifle another yawn

Serris · **Reply #232 on:** February 12, 2010, 03:35:16 AM

Alfred gathered up the "props" and made his way back to the truck. Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters slithered into the bed and fell asleep.

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

"It looks like a satellite photo of another logging camp but there's something off about it. There doesn't seem to be any heavy equipment except for what seems to be a large armored truck. A truck that looks like the one that we chased through Vegas," Zachary said.

MrDrake · **Reply #233 on:** February 12, 2010, 03:43:02 AM

"I'm sorry, but I just don't have any money to pay for a room or anything like that" Aimee answered back as she unfolded her arms again, her eyes were indeed, looking rather heavy from lack of sleep.

Nick22 · **Reply #234 on:** February 12, 2010, 03:47:09 AM

We already have rooms paid for.. you can stay with us" Aisha replied while looking at the photos.. " Yep that's definitely the one we chased through Vegas.. I'd recognize it anywhere.. Tomorrow we're gong to go find thus "camp"

Corporal Stern, or "Thomas" as he kept referring to himself, led Aimee to a room in the hotel, trying to get her to remember who she was. "Don't you recall anything? We met before, several times in fact. I don't know what they did to you or how it can be fixed, but please, you have to remember. Is there anything you recall?"

Thinking about what they had been through, Stern pulled out an old memento from his pocket; his old dogtags.

"You found these on the floor when I had dropped them, and then tracked me by my scent for several miles just to return them to me."

MrDrake · **Reply #236 on:** February 12, 2010, 06:21:27 AM

Aimee looked to the dogtags as something else flashed in her mind as she gabbed her forehead with one of her hands. Moments later, it was gone as she let it go "Thomas Stern? Yeah, I think, I think I am starting to recall you now, but it's still rather fuzzy"

She went quiet for a second before speaking once more "All I recall is the facility I was from, that's the most I can recall, that, and who had....treated me..." although, treated wouldn't have been the best word to use "Well, he's a lizard, a scientist though, well, that's what he calls himself anyway, a scientist....but the name...his name is still fuzzy at the moment, he only mentioned it at least once to me, I know that at least...."

Noname · **Reply #237 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:34:38 PM

This was a bad sign. Stern knew that there were several syndicates of what society would deem "mad scientists" who happened to be bipedal lizards. Yes, it was as stupid as that sounded, but it was true.

"Were these creatures known as reptoids?" Stern asked Aimee, hoping that this was the case. The other kinds were a lot less humane. Thomas was a good soldier, but he couldn't take on a whole army of these things by himself. Was Dragonstorm working with whoever harmed Aimee like this?

MrDrake · **Reply #238 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:44:52 PM

"Reptoids?" Aimee asked back as she folded her arms and closed her eyes to think for a moment before she opened them up again "Yes, they are as far as I know anyway"

Noname · **Reply #239 on:** February 12, 2010, 10:45:06 PM

Stern let out an audible sigh of relief. "Good. Those thugs are known to mess around with people, but they rarely kill. It is probably for the best that you remember nothing of what they did to you, at least for now. You look like you've been through quite a lot, Aimee. I'm sorry that you lost your natural arms. You had such soft pads in your hands."
