Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

Neku nodded, retrieving his beam swords and following Trinity, mutely looking at Hailey, trying to reach her mind...

MrDrake · **Reply #2941 on:** August 31, 2010, 01:57:34 AM

Hailey's mind was in pieces, all that was available, all that was left over was the ability to be able to follow simple orders and that was it. Drake had indeed, taken a terrible toll on her mind, pretty much, completely destroying it.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2942 on:** August 31, 2010, 02:00:40 AM

Neku focused a little, and began trying to piece together what he could, at least trying to restore speech and memory in her...

MrDrake · **Reply #2943 on:** August 31, 2010, 02:05:37 AM

Her mind was indeed, slowly being rebuilt, but it was a tough process, even for someone like Neku to be able to fix it.

Trinity walked onwards as she too headed outside with the two of them, reaching into her coat and pulling out a pair of sunglasses as she placed them on her face before stopping in her tracks as she turned to the two of them.

***

Aimee managed to get to the entrance of the base as she very quickly glanced in and saw Trinity out in the open with Hailey and Neku. She looked at Hailey in particular before moving away from the entrance "Hailey's working with Trinity again? And Neku's there too?" she asked herself as she shook her head a little bit as well, not believing it at the moment.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2944 on:** August 31, 2010, 02:07:12 AM

Neku looked back at her, his eyes giving no indication of his attempts to fix Hailey's mind...

(Idaho Base)

The heavy gate was opened for Drake to leave, and had just started to close...

Jeeps were moved as another blockade while the gate was closing down...

----------

Aimee was tracked by cameras to the wall, showing her on a screen in front of the supervisor. "She's gone too close for snipers," he said, "Make sure those gates are sealed, then have some grenades tossed over..."

----------

Breathtaker was then taken to a large room, with a set of windows on a second floor to watch the whole space. He was left inside as the door behind him was shut and locked...

----------

(USMC Base)

"Aiko, as Dr Bailey does that," Vic said, "pull up a map and scan for the beacon of my handgun."

"OK boss..." Aiko started, then paused. "Wait, didn't you give that gun to that..."

"I did. And I made sure the beacon was working before I gave it to her..."

MrDrake · **Reply #2946 on:** August 31, 2010, 02:25:13 AM

Aimee hessitated for a moment or so before she spoke "Screw it...it's now or never" and with that she rushed forward and slipped inside the base just as the gate had closed, sealing her inside.

However, she was unaware that she was being tracked by the cameras as it was as she rushed off towards a nearby building, moving up against it as she kept an eye on Trinity, Hailey and Neku.

***

Trinity glanced to the sun that was already rising up, then looked to Hailey and motioned for her to step forward and motioned for Neku to stay where he was.

***

Viper on the other hand, remained hidden in the room as she watched the scientist working. She peered up a little more to look at her some more "She....seems familiar...." she spoke to herself rather quietly.

Both Dr Landon and Aisha picked at thier food in the mess hall.. ' apparently branston is dead..' landon said..' your shot probably severed a major artery and he bled out.. well, hes taken care of.. once I'm finished we'll head up to prepare for our next mission.."

Shelton groggily woke up five hours later, when an announcement came over the loudspeaker. "ALL PERSONNEL NOT OTHERWISE OCCUPIED, PLEASE REPORT TO THE LECTURE HALL FOR A DEBRIEFING ON WHAT HAPPENED AT LAB 101. MEETING BEGINS AT 1400 HOURS."

Shelton checked the timer on his radio-flashlight. That's in 15 minutes. "Guess we better go," he yawned to Kerzach.

Serris · **Reply #2949 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:35:24 PM

Dr. Bailey nodded. "All right, Aiko, your choice," he said.

He then put up a manifest of Weyland-Yutani on the screen. "As you can see-" he used a laser pointer to point to the words "Trinity Biomed" on the screen - "Trinity Facility has purchased parts from Weyland-Yutani. Whether Weyland-Yutani is an active participant or an unwitting supplier, we have no idea," he said.

"So let's go find out," Spc. Crota said.

"You do realize that we just can't show up at the nearest factory armed to the teeth, smash down the door and raid the place, right?" Dr. Zanasiu replied.

"Let's see you come up with suggestions," Spc. Crota spat.

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

Dr. Kerzach yawned and got out of bed. He splashed water on his face from the nearby sink and quickly changed out of his pajamas.

(USMC Base)

"How resent is the manifest?" Fox asked.

Meanwhile the second screen pulled up a map of the northwest United States, and a blue blip flickered on in a part of Idaho. The screen zoomed in on a complex and blip moving inside...

Aiko's jaw dropped. "Is that..."

"Damn..." Vic said. "She's inside the prison already..."

----------

(Idaho Base)

In the surveillance room, the supervisor watched Aimee's moves. "She really is that stupid... Have the lights and snipers on her. Make sure all the outside doors are sealed."

----------

In the guard towers nearest Aimee, they quickly bring their searchlights on her, and the snipers aimed and fired...

----------

The main door to the lab was opened, and the Elite filed in, weapons at the ready. The Colonel followed, and finds one scientist alone at her work. "Have you seen anything suspicious here recently?" he questioned her.

----------

(Southport)

Watching the silhouette of the monster through the smoke, the guard grabbed for some wire and pulled it hard. This would fling some sharpened nails on a pair of chair seats at her...

MrDrake · **Reply #2951 on:** September 01, 2010, 12:14:42 AM

Trinity looked over at who the snipers were trying to snipe at and caught a glimpse of it "Well, seems like your friend has come to us....saves us having to find her....Hailey, you know what to do, kill Aimee"

Hailey obeyed and stepped forward towards Aimee, her hands on fire at first before she engulfed herself in flames as she continued to approach Aimee.

As Aimee did her best to avoid the snipers, she noticed Hailey approaching, yet, her eyes did widen at what was happening, her friend had the power of fire and she was approaching her. Something was indeed, wrong with Hailey, yet, Aimee couldn't quiet tell what, all she knew was that Hailey was not herself.

Trinity looked to Neku "Stay here....we don't need you interfeering with the fight...." she glanced up to the towers and looked at them befoe looking to a nearby guard "Tell the guards in the towers to cease fire....this is to be between Hailey and Aimee" she spoke with a little smirk.

***

Viper continued to watch the scientist, but yet, ducked away as the Eliete and the Colonel all filed into the room.

The scientist in question looked to the Colonel "No sir, I haven't, I've just been at work all this time" she replied back to him, completely unaware that Viper was in the same room.

(Southport)

Subject 19 did not expect to be fired at as the shrapnal was fired at her. She stumbled back somewhat as she gave off a growl as well.

As they walked to the lecture hall, Shelton filled Kerzach in on his conversations with Trinity and O'Neil. "So, I'm a DS commander now," he finished. "I've been promoted. I think I'm only about a dozen steps away from becoming one of the leaders of Dragonstorm."

Serris · **Reply #2953 on:** September 01, 2010, 12:52:07 AM

"The one from Weyland-Yutani is about a month old. It is about two weeks older than the one from Rara Terra Smelting." Dr. Bailey replied. "On a side note, we found this."

He bought up a letter that appeared to be typed by Dr. Kerzach. It read: "James, Zach, Cobalt Leader, if any of you are reading this, know that this hard drive was stolen from Rara Terra Smelting in Arizona. Paul Gamay and I tried to stop a shipment of stolen lanthanides heading to Pelvanida. Le-" the letter ended abruptly.

"Um, you don't think they killed him?" Sgt. Masters asked.

Alfred shook his head. "If they did, they would have wiped or destroyed the hard drive as well. It is completely intact. My guess is that he was nearly caught and had to hide the hard drive somewhere," he said.

Dr. Zanasiu scratched his chin. "You know, what if the shipments of lanthanides was not headed to Pelvanida but to Trinity Facility? If Rara Terra Smelting has insiders, it would not be hard to disguise a stolen shipment - or several - as a legit order to Pelvanida," he said.

Gustave headed out to go to the bathroom and get a drink of water.

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

Along the way, he passed by Aisha and Dr. Landon, who were carrying plates of food. "There's meeting in the back conference room," he said.

He then continued on his way to the bathroom.

Serris · **Reply #2954 on:** September 01, 2010, 12:57:14 AM

Zachary turned to Shakila. "Shakila, do you have anything to add?" he asked.

Sgt. Masters lit another cigarette.

The Mongoose Cobalt soldier said nothing but got up to go buy a soda from the vending machine.

"Can we subpoena info from Rara Terra Smelting and Weyland-Yutani?" Alfred asked.

Cpl. Stern was busy digesting the information when he heard Alfred. "That may work but there is the possibility that Dragonstorm insiders will feed us false information," he said.

"So let's break in and look for ourselves!" Hans replied.

"Only a former terrorist would say that," Spc. Crota said. He sort of resented how Hans used to be one of the terrorists who attacked Pelvanida a year ago.

"Crota! Now is not the time to bring up our ally's past!" Cobalt Leader replied.

"I am past that stage and I have made amends, Specialist," Hans said with a slight note of bitterness in his voice.

Nick22 · **Reply #2955 on:** September 01, 2010, 01:00:58 AM

Aisha nodded. " we'll be right there..." She replied as she and Dr Landon headed towards the back room.. Dr Landon took a seat " So is what I hear true? Branston is dead? Really!"
- so whats the plan, guys?' Aisha asked looking at hansd...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #2956 on:** September 01, 2010, 01:06:26 AM

"Why are you defending him?" Crota asked Cobalt Leader. "You had to fight against him during the assault. His terrorist friends wounded you in the arm. I read the report."

"I used to work for Dragonstorm, do you hold that against me?" Aydin asked.

Crota cast a noncommittal glace at him. "I don't really care about you one way or the another. We barely know anything about you, except that you're willing to assault allied troopers to make a phone call to your girlfriend."

Aydin folded his arms and ducked out of the conversation. "No wonder Shelton didn't like you..." he muttered.

-----------

"Can we get moving?" yelled the Dhole over the roar of the copter blades. "They're getting closer!"

MrDrake · **Reply #2957 on:** September 01, 2010, 01:11:35 AM

Shakila gave off a shrug back "Well, no offence or anything, but doing something like that just sounds like a suicide mission, I mean, if they killed whoever wrote that letter, than what's stopping them from doing the same to us if we head over there?"

(Prison base)

Soon, Hailey had approached Aimee and stood a few feet away from her before she fired a few fireballs in the direction of Aimee.

Aimee in turn, slipped away to behind the building as the fireballs struck the building in the process. She glanced back out to look at Hailey once again "Why the hell is she even attacking me?" she asked herself as she ducked away from some more fireballs.

Hailey continued to approach Aimee and turned the corner, swinging a fist at Aimee, however, Aimee in turn, rolled away in time and moved back as she watched Hailey still and jumped aside from another incoming fireball.

Aimee wasn't planning on even striking Hailey, just at the moment, to avoid her attacks and attempted to get through to her "Hailey! I don't know what the hell you're doing, or why the hell you're even attacking me....but you have got to snap out of it!" she called out as she jumped aside from an incoming punch from Hailey. She looked at Hailey's eyes and saw that they were lifeless and realized something "Listen, Hailey...you have to snap out of this little phase, I don't know what had happened to you, but I know that the real you is in there somewhere!"

Hailey started to turn up the heat some more as she approached Aimee still before using her powers to create a ring of fire around them.

Aimee held up her arm a little bit as she looked to hailey "I don't want to have to hurt you either Hailey!" and that was true, but for Aimee, she was starting to run out of options on what to do and how to snap Hailey out of it.

"We're now looking at our options for our next move," Vic replied to Dr Landon. "Dr Joe, do we have anymore spy drones ready to fly?"

"We just got one in the air for Idaho," Dr Joe replied on screen. "We do have a second one on standby. Should we launch that one, too?"

----------

(Idaho Base)

The guard radioed in, and the snipers stopped firing, but kept their scopes on the target. More so, patrol jeeps moved around the intruder in a wide circle, each with a heavy machine gun...

The guard returned with a phone. "Ma'am, it's the warden..."

----------

The Colonel looked around towards a storage room door. He pointed to the scientist. "Leave us," he ordered, and signalled the squad to move in on the door...

----------

(Southport)

After cutting down another line of monsters, Azrael faced the pilot. "Get outta here!" he shouted.

"But what about..." the pilot started, but a spray of blood from a slain monster hit his windshield, to which he then started getting the chopper into the air...

----------

The guard grabbed another wire, and a grenade hung on the ceiling behind the monster exploded...

Nick22 · **Reply #2959 on:** September 01, 2010, 01:15:57 AM

That would likely be a good idea? Any news on Aimee , or have we had no response from her? She leaped out of the helicopter we were in, for gawd only knows what reason.."
