As soon as the small shock had ended, Shakila spoke up at long last "That....was a terrible pun..." she muttered slightly, glancing up at Calchas in the process, doing her best to show that she was already, not in pain from being electrocuted in the process.

She wasn't about to tell him her real name, not just yet anyway.

Calchas smiled. "Fine, make this difficult...I got all day. And night. When I have a patient, I don't sleep."

He sent another short blast of electricity coursing through her head, chest, and thighs. This one he held for five seconds before letting go. "That was the lowest setting! Your body will survive much more than that! I can raise the voltage as much as I want, unless you tell me your name!"

(Texas Base)

Halfway down the hall, Kyriel stopped as Breathtaker appeared beside her.

"Touchy, isn't he?" Breathtaker apparently overheard.

Kyriel ignored the comment. "Your report from the west coast?"

"They guy killed himself before I got there, but I took care of every other survivor that were held there. Also, I sent proof of such here in a day or so..."

"Proof?"

"The guy's head on a silver platter," Breathtaker smirked. "The doc will be pissed further than he is now..."

"I'll be sure to intercept it BEFORE he gets a hold of it... Since your job is done, return to New Peenemunde. The weapons projects there must be protected at all costs. There are suspicions that the enemy commandos may be heading there."

"Finally. I'm sick of pushovers. Time I get a challenge..."

(New Mexico)

Wally looked to Dr Joe. "You think the others even know that Chase here is the telepath that spider-freak wanted?" he asked in a hushed tone.

"I don't believe they'll do anything rash with Chase," Dr Joe replied.

"Is that vouching for all of them?"

"I can't truly say for ALL of them..."

(New Peenemunde Harbor, Florida)

Ezekiel entered. "I just got the news from the superweapon project staff," he said. "The AI computer has been completed and is running. They should be ready to install it in the ship very soon. Also... Project Soundwave from our associate Drake has made its way here into our database. It was programed to rebuild the Hydra Project, and is making use of one of our hangars to do so. It shouldn't interfere with our other objectives..."

Shakila winced in pain again from the jolts recieved before finally deciding to give a name "Fine....if it's so important....to you....my name....it's....Luna Lovegood...." she looked to Calchas again "Why do you....even care to need to know....on who I am? Names usually....aren't all....that important anyway....."

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3924 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:56:03 PM

"Soundwave?" O'Neil frowned. "He's not supposed to be stationed here. Tell Drake to complete his pet projects in his own headquarters; that hangar is reserved for extenuating circumstances."

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

Calchas snarled. "Luna Lovegood? That doesn't even sound like a real name!"

He increased the electric intensity, and turned the machine back on. "At this point, missy, I'm not believing any names you give until you're screaming and begging me to believe you!"

Dr. Zanasiu sat on a table and sighed. "Why did you drive off without telling us anything? You know that we need to stick together. What would have happened if we drove to say, Arizona instead of the New Mexico-Texas border?"

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

Gustave, Alfred and Cobalt Squad shared one table. Alfred had ordered some garlic breadsticks and deep fried squid pieces for everyone.

Gustave called the waiter over and asked for some beer.

"Gustave, no! We don't need to have to post bail after you get drunk then clobber someone with the table," Alfred said. He was referring to in incident that occurred several years back when they were on the same construction crew.

Gustave swore and ordered some seltzer instead.

Sharon's eyes clouded. "Oh crap, I didn't think about that. I guess I was just acting kinda like we did back in Pelvanida. You know, if a team of people needed to do something, they'd run off and do it, and meet back up with everyone later. But I guess it's different when its in unfamiliar territory, with miles instead of meters." She hung her head.

Serris · **Reply #3927 on:** March 22, 2011, 12:24:33 AM

Dr. Zanasiu scratched Sharon between her ears. "Don't worry, we all make mistakes. By the way, I noticed that your tail is really fluffy now compared to back at Pelvanida."

Dr. Zanasiu had to admit, he was starting to become attracted to Sharon...despite them being two different species - Homo sapiens sapiens and Cuon alpinus sapiens.

He then pulled her into a hug.

(OOC - Remember that Sharon is a Dhole <a canid>!)

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3928 on:** March 22, 2011, 01:05:16 AM

Sharon smiled and returned the hug. "Thanks, James!" she grinned. "I promise I'll be more careful in the future!"

Since James appeared to be in a good mood, Sharon decided to ask something she'd been thinking about. "Hey James, I'm just wondering, what do you think about Dr. Williams? I mean like, personality-wise?"

MrDrake · **Reply #3929 on:** March 22, 2011, 03:46:55 AM

"Well, whatever you're real name is....I doubt it sounds like a real name....so I guess....we're even then...." Shakila glanced back up to Calchas again "Besides, even if I tell you my real name....it's not like you would believe me anyway....you'd probabally just....go off your head and say it's not even a real name...." she winced a little more from the pain she was recieving.

"Soundwave wouldn't even be here unless something happened to Drake," Ezekiel replied. "Before Soundwave appeared, I tried hailing Drake, with no luck. But, someone in this facility had managed to get on his line for a while..."

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3931 on:** March 22, 2011, 04:06:00 AM

O'Neil nodded. ''Dr. Simpson gave me a report on Drake's virtual reality machine just today. He gave it a glowing review. He didn't mention any sort of problem. I could have him return here and tell you what he told me, though I don't relish the prospect of being along in a room with you two."

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

Calchas was starting to sweat. He wasn't expecting her to break yet, but this patient was taking a lot longer to even show signs of distress.

"Let's compromise." Leaving the electrical machine on, he walked to his desk and grabbed a large candle sitting next to the computer. "I've been waiting for an opportunity to use this."

He walked back and shut the electricity off. Then he held the candle over her body. "Here's the new deal; every ten seconds you don't tell me your name, or if you tell me any more fake names, I drop a large splash of hot wax on your body, and I aim for sensitive parts. Now let's see, you've had two wrong answers already, so..."

He tilted the candle, and let one large dollop of hot wax drop on each of her breasts.

(Las Vegas)

Death chuckled as he looked at the group still, then glancing over to War before looking back to the group "But I'm afraid that I will not be staying for the fight ahead, I have other things that need to be attended to"

"You're not staying to help out War?" Aimee asked with a small laugh.

"Whether or not War survives this battle will not matter, the plan shall still proceed, one way or another" Death answered back, looking at Aimee for a few moments "Until we meet again" and without another word, he once again, vanished.

(Texas Base)

Death had once again reappeard in the hallways of Texas Base, floating along down said hallway, moving past guards whom seemed to give off only a slight shiver, even one guard speaking up "That was a wierd feeling just now...."

"Leave it, it's probabally just the atmosphere of the base" another guard spoke as they continued to patrol around.

***

Shakila narrowed her eyes at Calchas, doing her best to show no signs of being in pain, even thouh in truth, she was in much pain "I shall....never tell you my name....I have no need to tell you it, and besides, if you kill me....all of this....it would have been for nothing...."

The erie atmosphere had reached the room, to which Shakila could also feel, watching as Death formed behind Calchas. However, Death had no need to kill Calchas, he wasn't even planing on it, but instead, spoke up "I'm afraid that you are going about this torture ordeal the wrong way...." he told Calchas as he just floated there.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3933 on:** March 22, 2011, 10:59:58 PM

Calchas didn't think to look behind him, he was so incensed at his inability to invoke any sort of response from Shakila. "I don't know what the he'll is up; she must have like a football player's pain threshold!" he exclaimed angrily. "I'm this close to setting her tail on fire just to produce a response!"

MrDrake · **Reply #3934 on:** March 22, 2011, 11:05:04 PM

"Allow me to interviene" Death spoke, floating in front of Calchas, not even bothering to look at him. His eyes looked into her eyes "There is very little fear in her eyes....but not matter, all of that can be changed...."

He bought his hand up, his hand in the process, starting glow with some form of what could be described as, black magic. His hand clasped around her neck as he spoke to her "Look into my eyes you pathetic excuse for a creature and tell me....what do you see?"

Shakila could not help it but look into Death's eyes for a moment, she gasped and looked away, only to winch in pain, winching that was now visible as she looked back into Death's eyes. All she saw, it seemed to be nothing but darkness as Death spoke to her "You are, but alone in this world....alone with no way out, you will even die alone....unless you wish to change all of that in a heartbeat...all you need to do is tell them your name....tell them that and you shall be released....you shall be sent back to your....friends...."

Calchas watched silently, too stunned to interrupt.

Shelton pulled out of the parking lot and started driving down the road, back toward a fork he had seen earlier.

"Every relationship you have been in has been nothing but a failure, you have been left with a broken heart, which will never be healed, every relationship you'll attempt to pursue will end in heartbreak" Death continued to look into her eyes, watching as her fear started to grow as he continued to speak, her fears becoming apparant.

"My....name....is....Shakila....Brennan...." Shakila finally spoke, having been broken by Death.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3937 on:** March 23, 2011, 12:02:10 AM

Calchas grinned and crossed to his computer, typing her name into the Dragonstorm database. "We got somehing on her. She's a hacker, she..." he trailed off.

He suddenly crossed back. And slapped her in the face. "How did you gain access to Trinity's personal computer?" He demanded. "And what have you done with the data? Where is it?"

MrDrake · **Reply #3938 on:** March 23, 2011, 12:08:01 AM

No answer came from Shakila before Death repeated what Calchas had asked, well, he had paraphrased it "Answer the question...Shakila....this data that he speaks of, what has been done with it?"

A small pause again before Shakila spoke again "It was...left alone....I only know...very little about what....Trinity is after....or what she even wants....what...?" she begun, only to have Death cut her off.

"Do not ask questions, I am afraid that you are in no condition to ask questions....nor do you need to know much informations either...." Death told Shakila "Anything else you wish to ask this creature....before I decide to do away with her poor, pathetic and miserable life?" he asked Calchas without even looking at him.

Aisha munched on her order of breadsrticks, they were greasy, but very very good. Landon had ordered some for him and Roux as well.. he had also ordered calimari.. " this stuffs pretty good, of course, hunger increases the tastiness of food..
