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

Dr. Bailey had been trying to dig up some data about logging companies around Culeston. He sighed as his search turned up fruitless. He then made his way back to his room, where he called James.

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

Spc. Crota rubbed his eyes as he slid off the office chair that he was coiled up on. He then slithered up to Hans and Werner.

"Hans, I managed to break another word; it's a name: 'Piotr Kozlov'. But I'm not sure if that means anything," he said. "Now, excuse me, but I need a nap." He then climbed up onto the couch, coiled up in the corner of it and fell asleep.

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

Dr. Zanasiu picked up his cellphone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, James, it's Keith, I did research as you told me," Dr. Bailey said over the phone.

"Good! Tell us what you found when we get back!" Dr. Zanasiu said, hanging up the phone.

"Kain and Dragonstorm huh? Did Kain ever mention someone named Dr. Johnson Zenarchis?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

"Also, do you recall a terrorist attack at Pelvanida? Zachary asked.

"How long ago?" Aimee closed her eyes to think "Well, I did meet all of you just yesterday, but I believe I had escaped the day before or so, at the very least anyway, I do not know the exact day, nor how long I was away from the lab"

She then looked over to Aisha after opening up her eye again and gave her a nod "Yeah, I guess you could say that" she then took her piece of paper back from Stern and put it back into her pocket again.

She glanced over to Dr. Zanasiu "Dr. Johnson Zenarchis? I'm not sure about that one actually, he might've, but I just don't recall it, nor if I know if Kain even met this doctor of yours.....but as for a terrorist attack" she shook her head "No, I can't say that I had, sorry I'm not much help at the moment"

"NO more experiments will leave this lab WITHOUT my say so!"  Ariol grabbed a nearby comm.  "Ariol to bridge.  One of our quacks has gone rogue.  Send someone to stop him."

----------

Three of the remaining hitmen removed the pins from some grenades and prepared to toss them.  One of the pins hit the metal stairway near the group.

Ice's ears perked up at the sound and saw what was coming.  "Grenades!"  He looked quickly to Snow, who telepathically knew what to do.  She quickly blasted a series of small fireballs into the water, creating a massive amount of steam upwards.  As the steam reached where Dragonstorm stood, Ice sent the water onto the assassins and caused the water to solidify around their arms holding the live explosives.

"Oh sh..." one hitmen started, trying to free his arm, until one-by-one, each of the three are shot where they stood by Erin's talents, and they started to fall backwards towards the squad.  The final hitman quickly shoved two of the bodies over the edge, but was not fast enough to grab the other as it hit the ground...

"Incoming!"  The heroes dived below the knee-deep water as the live' corpses landed into the water on the other side of the stairs...

"Ariol, a squad will be sent down to search for them," Capt. Lutra said. He then radioed yet another squad. "Chi Leader, this is the bridge. One of the scientists has gone rogue. Find them and arrest them," he said into the radio.

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

Chi Leader, a lean Ferret, dropped the Times magazine she was reading. She and some of her other soldiers were relaxing in the soldiers' lounge.

"Chi Squad! Move it!" she barked. She got up from the couch, went over to the closet and donned her combat helmet and body armor. Her soldiers did the same.

"Bridge, this is Chi Leader, we are en route," she said into the wall intercom.

"Roger that," Capt. Lutra's voice came back over the intercom.

Werner watched the tail end of Das Boot while hans tried to figure out more of the coded emails.

"The others should be here soon,' werner said. "They could be on their way,' hans said.

"That's all right Aimee," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"So what do you want to do? I can't sit around the hotel all day," Neville said.

"How about dinner in the big city?" Zachary asked.

"That works too."

"Aimee, you expressed a desire to go to the city right?" Dr. Zanasiu asked. He then pulled into the parking lot of Zemoth's.

Neville opened the door and got out. He found his car exactly as he left it and he started it up and followed Dr. Zanasiu out of the parking lot.

"What was that about?" Alfred asked as soon as they were on the road again.

"Neville wanted us to drop him off at Zemoth's to get his car." Dr. Zanasiu replied.

"Yes, that's right, the big city, I need to do some research and what have you" Aimee replied back "Mainly at the local newspaper factory, I need to ask them about a certain article is all"

She paused for a second "That, and dinner would be nice, but I don't have the money to buy anything else, the money you guys gave me, I'm low on it again"

The van pulled into the parking lot of the Redwood Inn.

"All right, freshen up and we'll head out to the city for dinner later," Dr. Zanasiu said getting out of the van.

Neville parked his car and got out as well.

The group was now inside the hotel and waiting for the elevator.

"By the way," Dr. Zanasiu said, "Hans and Werner have arrived. Should we meet up with them first."

Sgt. Masters and the rest of Cobalt Squad entered the hotel. Some of them were bearing bags that quite obviously contained clothes.

"Been shopping?" Zachary asked.

"At Culeston Mall," Sgt. Masters replied. He then turned to the group. "Cigarettes? Anyone?" he asked, pulling out a pack from a pocket in his uniform.

"I don't smoke," Neville replied.

Alfred, Zachary and Dr. Zanasiu shook their heads.

"Suit yourself," Sgt. Masters said, taking a cigarette and lighting it. He inhaled a few times and blew some smoke into the air.

While everyone else was waiting for the elevator, Aimee had taken a seat in the lobby as she wasn't the one to worry about getting all freshened up or anything like that and instead, decided to just wait around until everyone else was finished before doing anything else in particular.

She took out her piece of paper again and just looked at it with a slight shake of her head as she sighed, rubbing her forehead in the process as well.

The elevator arrived and Dr. Zanasiu, Neville, Cobalt Squad, Zachary and Alfred filed in. The elevator was large enough to hold the entire group.

"Um, Corporal," Alfred said, "I lost my pistol at the logging camp and I was wondering if you had a spare."

"Speaking of pistols we need to see if we have enough ammo," Zachary said.

Neville shrugged. "I got 500 round canisters of 12 gauge 00 buckshot and 9mm pistol rounds sitting in the trunk of my car. There's also a gun shop nearby in case we do need more ammo," he said.

(OOC - Wait, I thought the elevator was on the first floor and there was no basement?)

Dr. Zanasiu, Neville, Cobalt Squad, Zachary and Alfred exited on the second floor. Sgt. Masters extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray in the elevator foyer. He made note of the vending machines in a small room off the foyer.

"All right, so when do you want to meet up for the city trip?" Zachary asked.

"Let's try 1900 hours or 7 PM," Neville replied. "That gives us 4 hours to do whatever before we leave,"

Neville went to room 263, which was now his, Zachary and Dr. Zanasiu's new room.

"Zach, could you move our stuff from Dr. Landon's room?" Neville asked. He went to the new room and unlocked the door.

Zachary headed to Dr. Landon's room.

Cobalt Squad went to their room to drop off their items.

Dr. Zanasiu went to Han's room and knocked on the door.

Zachary entered Dr. Landon's room and picked up his suitcases. "Dr. Landon, you mind carrying James's shotgun for me?" he asked.

Alfred entered the room and turned on the TV. "So Aisha, what shall we do now?" he asked, watching History Channel's Modern Marvels.
