Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

Cale smirked as the soldiers entered the room, his force fields stopping any shots from hitting himself, his friends, or the doctors.
"It's about time you got here."
He said, half-teasingly to the soldiers...

Shelton revived slowly in the infirmary.

"You okay, Achates?" asked Narcissus.

Shelton drowsily rubbed his forehead. "Where is that self righteous Microsoft Sam-sounding blowhard of a--?"

"You shouldn't say that in here!" snapped Mnestheus nervously. He glanced quickly at a security camera, which was trained on them.

<They've been following us ever since we got here,> agreed Narcissus. <Ezekiel's watching us, and he's not being subtle about it.>

Shelton rolled his eyes. "I don't care. We have every right to be here--" he broke off, realizing he wasn't in the brig. He glanced at Kerzach, wondering why they weren't captured or even exposed.

The soldiers still had their rifles ready. "Are you surrendering?" the asked.

They made sure to keep on the look out for any other actions Cale could do.

(New Peenemunde Harbor - Infirmary)

Strange, I know my hands and eyes are different that Dr. Gallo's. I mean he had somewhat amber eyes and mine are brown. Dr. Kerzach though.

<Shelton, how the hell did we get by there? I just realized that Dr. Gallo and myself have slightly different eye colors.> he sent via thought message to Shelton.

(Crimson Base - Supply Hangar)

Inside the hangar, Dr. Zanasiu noticed that there were tons of equipment everywhere.

He picked up an armored vest and a helmet out of two separate crates. "These would have come in handy a long time ago," he muttered. He carefully packed them into cases and hoisted them into the nearest SUV's passenger compartment.

"Hey! Everyone! Come here and get an armored vest and helmet!" Dr. Zanasiu ordered.

Dr. Bailey headed over to where Dr. Zanasiu was.

He then turned to Shakila. "To be honest, I'm not sure they have a vest and helmet in your size," he said as he stood in line behind Aydin, Cobalt Squad and Zachary.

Dr. Wayne stood in line behind Dr. Bailey and Shakila. She sighed. "Great, we're really in deep," she muttered, looking at the crate of body armor. She then glanced at Dr. Williams.

Aisha got Roux off the Gurney and Tied her paws and feet before pushing her towards a nearby armored car.. " Get in" She sad ' Alfred you Drive Landon you get in the passenger seat .. I'll keep an eye on Roux..' she said Opening the door and Forcing Roux inside before climbing in after her' lando got to the front of the car and climbed in " you know how to dribve this kind of car, right Alfred? He asked as he buckled himself in..

Serris · **Reply #3405 on:** December 05, 2010, 03:16:41 AM

"Hey! Aisha! Dr. Landon! Get your asses over here get some armor and a helmet!" Sgt. Masters shouted. He was normally not so abrasive but when it came to personal safety, he got quite nasty.

Zachary and Gustave got out of line and lifted a crate containing the ceramic armor inserts into one of the SUVs.

Alfred had picked out and donned his armor and helmet and headed over to the SUV Roux was in. The digital camo pattern of the vest and helmet clashed horribly with his jeans and flannel shirt. The armor with all its plates weighed some 45 pounds but being superhumanly strong, it did not seem to bother him.

Nick22 · **Reply #3406 on:** December 05, 2010, 02:20:12 PM

Aisha and DrLandon hurried out to get their helmet and armor. the entire package weighed about 40 pounds and fit over thir clothes but clashed with thier other attire. Still it could not be helped..

<I guess their information comes from a time after we joined up, maybe that initial registration after the evacuation of Lab 101,> Shelton proposed. <Makes sense for Simpson, who was a minor surveyor, but Gallo was a respected scientist.>

He was jolted out of his thoughts when O'Neil walked into the room, finishing the statement he had made earlier.

"--But even so, it would be nice if you'd follow the proper regulations," O'Neil finished the sentence for him, walking into the infirmary. "Really, Dr. Simpson. Ezekiel has killed people for less."

"He's an unstable sociopath with no right to hold command over anything--!" Shelton started to protest.

"--But he gets his job done, and he protects this base. After the failure of Dr. Rice to adequately protect her facility, I thought someone with...different leadership techniques might have more success."

"Dr. Zanasiu's going to barrel through his defenses like a trojan through a honeypot, just like he's done the last three Dragonstorm bases, and there's not a thing the Six Million Dollar MacInTalk can do about it!" Shelton predicted defiantly.

O'Neil frowned. "I will not be pleased if you talk this way around the personnel. It would be bad for morale if a medal-winner has become disillusioned. It would be easier to just have you...disappear. Another heroic martyr."

Shelton gulped and realized he'd gone too far.

"I hope that won't be necessary." O'Neil turned to Narcissus, Achilles, and Mnestheus. "In light of what you've all endured and survived, you have all been given leave for the rest of the day. You may explore the harbor and partake in its facilities, but personally I recommend that you not stray too far."

He then motioned to Shelton and Kerzach. "I can finally brief you on the assignment with Smithson, if you'll please follow me."

Serris · **Reply #3408 on:** December 06, 2010, 01:29:50 AM

Alfred got into the seat of the nearest SUV as Zachary and Gustave got their own armor. Again, owing to the strength, the weight did not bother them.

"Guys, put the armor in the case for now We'll wear them when we're en route to a location to raid. And for the love of all that's holy, don't wear them in public!" Cobalt Leader shouted as he and the rest of his soldiers picked out their armor.

Dr. Bailey had his armor and helmet in their cases and he hoisted them into another SUV as he picked out a laptop.

Dr. Zanasiu looked into the last SUV and noticed that it was for Cobalt Squad since it carried the heavier weapons and all the ammunition.

"What about the weapons?" Aydin asked, putting his armor and helmet into its case. He picked up an M16 rifle and several 30 round magazines for himself.

Dr. Wayne picked up some armor and a helmet for both herself and Dr. Williams. "Well at least it matches what we're wearing," she deadpanned, donning a vest and helmet and handing the other one to Dr. Wayne. She really did not like how it felt against her body but she felt that saving her life was worth the discomfort.

Dr. Kerzach nodded. "Let's go Simpson. The sooner we do this briefing the sooner we get to our mission," he said.

He then exited the infirmary.

Aimee narrowed her eyes at Xanthus for a moment "So, you want another fight? Fine....I accept your little challenge" she spoke as she stepped forwards towards Xanthus.

"Good, and like I said, make this a proper fight, don't hold back on me" Xanthus flexed his fists for a moment as Aimee swung a fist at Xanthus, to which he moved his arms in time, starting to block each of Aimee's swings of her fists.

He too was attempting to strike Aimee back, but she too was blocking each of his moves, which only caused Xanthus to grin. He seemed to be rather happy so far with how this little fight was progressing onwards.

However, as Aimee was too busy watching Xanthus' arms, she was kneed in the stomach by him, giving Xanthus that small window of oppertunity to strike Aimee across the face, followed by a strike to her jaw "Come on girl, don't give up on me just yet, give me all that you've got" he spoke as he watched Aimee stumble backwards.

Aimee just gave him a glare and attacked again, but yet, she still did not seem to be able to land any attack in on him, it was as if he was reading her every move. Xanthus did try and strike her in the stomach, but she blocked it this time, only to have Xanthis instead, kick her in the knee, bringing her down "A bit of Deja vu is in order here, don't you think?" he asked with a slight smirk and slammed a foot, right into Aimee's face, causing her to actually fly backwards somewhat.

Aimee slid across the ground some, her mouth now bleeding, along with a black eye as she did end up coughing up some blood. He was good, something she did not want to have to admit as she moved to her side somewhat, coughing up a little more blood.

Xanthus approached her by that point, looking at her for a moment as he held out a hand to her "Here...."

Aimee looked at his hand for a moment, but rejected his help as she got back up on her own, but stumbled slightly as Xanthus grabbed her to steady her "Let me get this straight, you attack me, beat me, pretty much senseless....and now you're wanting to help me? What...gives?"

"Like I said, if I wanted to, I could kill you....but I wont, not yet anyway....I just wanted to see how well you would do" Xanthus replied back to her as he helped her head back to the motel for the time being.

Ezekiel returned to his office, where he discovered files on his desk, from orders he previously gave before. Aware that O'Niell and Montgomery have arrived, he waited patiently for them...

Cpl. Stern picked out the smallest armored vest and helmet he could find along with their cases and gave them to Shakila.

"Shakila, I know you're not going to like wearing this - hell, I don't and I've worn this stuff longer than almost anyone here - but it's for safety reasons. It's only by sheer luck that more of us weren't killed," he said as he went back to pick out his own armor.

O'Neil led them into a board room and sat them down. Smithson was already waiting for them. "I have to meet with the commander of this base soon, so I'll make this quick. As you both know, Dragonstorm had plans for a virtual reality machine, constructed by the late Dr. Tinner."

Shelton glanced uncomfortably at Kerzach. "We heard a little about that. Something happened, right?"

"It was destroyed by a rogue assistant. But even with the technology destroyed, Tinner's plans are still intact, and with the right technology we could feasibly attempt to create a virtual reality machine.

"One of Trinity's experiments, named Drake, has shown remarkable promise in this field, but sadly he's fallen off the radar with the destruction of Trinity Facility and the Idaho Prison Base."

"Where is Trinity right now?" asked Shelton. "I'm supposed to give her something."

"She had other plans, and will not arrive here. Your message will have to wait. But she has secured us a web address where one will be able to webcam with Drake for precisely 30 minutes at 7:00 tonight. I'd like the two of you to be our representatives. You need to get Drake to agree to share his virtual reality technology with us."

"We're on a an assassination mission for someone who defected from Dragonstorm," Dr. Kerzach said, glancing at the small vase on the table.

O'Neill frowned. "Yes, a certain Gustave Chiumbo. He is merely a low ranking guard with a rather serious criminal record to boot," he said.

"What?"

"It's in his files. He's got two felonies - one of which was for breaking a cop's arm in two places and the other for biting off someone's arm - and a whole s---load of misdemeanors. And that's just what we know about."

Alfred looked distastefully at Roux. "I swear she must have been raised in the lab or something. I mean, really, I saw what she did to Aimee. That was out and out sexual assault," he said.

Gustave climbed into the SUV and got in the back seat next to Roux. His 4 gauge shotgun was strapped across his back but he had no ammunition as Crimson Base did not stock the type of ammunition he used. "If you sexually harass us, there will not be enough left of your sorry carcass to bury!" he snarled.

"If she does do anything stupid," Vic replied, "you're also equipped with the DS-Countermeasures serum. Even a non-fatal hit with one will break down any Dragonstorm experiment's vascular cells, blood and vessels." Looking at Gustave's shotgun, a thought jumped into his head and pulled out a piece of paper, and handed it to Gustave. "Sorry we don't have 4-gauge, so we wrote down the name and address of a gun store along the route to the enemy base that's confirmed to sell them."

Nick22 · **Reply #3415 on:** December 07, 2010, 01:09:32 AM

rest assured if she tries anything it will be the last thing she ever does " aisha said to roux ' you hear that Roux, you try any funny business, which includes trying to kiss me or any other girl, you get a bullet in your head faster than you can blink. now Dr Landon here is vouching for you for the moment. goodness knows we could have left you here to be picked apart by the scientists, but regrettably we need all the help we can get.. do you understand.. now i don't condone what you did to aimee, undressing her in public and sniffing her crotch.. its one thing if shes ok with it and you do it in a hotel room, that's your business, but she was not okay with it and you did it in public, which is aggravated assault and indecent exposure off the top of my head.. nboth carry pretty decent prison terms..

"So...are we excused from the Gustave assignment?" Shelton asked hopefully. "If so, you'll need to tell Trinity for us. She won't believe without your affirmation."

Serris · **Reply #3417 on:** December 07, 2010, 01:20:24 AM

Gustave nodded as he strapped himself in and waited for the others to get ready and move out. "Thanks, Vic," he said. He then turned to Roux. "A bullet in the head is merciful compared to what I'll do if you try anything funny," he said, grinning and showing a mouthful of sharp, conical teeth.

Alfred looked at Roux. "Gustave isn't bluffing. If you try anything funny, he will - no joke - rip off your arm and beat you to death with it,"

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

O'Neill frowned. "Let me finish. Normally when Dragonstorm was healthy we would have simply let him go. Now with so many information leaks, we cannot let any information leak out," he said.

(OOC - Yes, I do plan for Gustave's family to die but after a pretty hard fight <Crocodiles are pretty tough to kill and one of Gustave's sons is in US Army>)

"Speaking of which," Dr. O'Neill continued. "Good job on finding the location of Chiumbo's family. You left your printout on the ground at the security check, Simpson, and it has been processed. Orders to send a team to Creek Springs, California are in the works as we speak."

Shelton kept his face neutral, while feeling an awful cold sensation wash his body. "I'm...pleased to hear that..."

"Once the family has been dealt with, we will search his home for clues as to his current location. Anything we find will be transmitted to you and your team." O'Neil stood up. "Now, I must get to Mr. Ezekiel and apologize for your behavior at the security check. Make sure you are at the transmission room at 7:00 tonight."

Dr. Zanasiu climbed into another SUV with Hans, Werner and Zachary.

"All right, we ready to roll?" he asked.

"Not yet, Shakila, Dr. Williams and Dr. Bailey have to pick out their armor," Cpl. Stern said.
