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

Zachary knocked on the door and Neville opened it.

"Ah, Dr. Landon, Zach, thanks for helping me move," he said.

Zachary placed all the supplies in the closet. He accepted the shotgun from Dr. Landon and placed it in the closet.

"Thanks for the help!" Zachary said. He sat down on the sofa and turned the TV on.

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

"I'll go get some candy for you if you want it," Alfred said.

Neville turned the news to a local channel. A news report about the fight at the mall was on.

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

Alfred got out of the room and headed downstairs.

We don't keep a low profile don't we?" Dr Landon shook his head " Dragonstorm will know we're getting close.. " the report was vague and rather biased against the group calling them vigilantes..

Aimee remained in the lobby still, being rather patient as she waited for everyone to do whatever it is they were doing, reaching into her other pocket and pulling out the rest of the money she had....at least a good $20 worth.

She glanced behind herself to the door before she got up, stuffing the piece of paper into her pocket and walking outside, deciding to, for now, walk down to the shops to go and buy something to eat, as she was rather hungry, not being able to actually finish her meal at the mall, nor even started to eat it and hopefully, this time, she would actually be able to eat something without any interuptions.

"I'm going out for a little walk,' werner said leaving the room. "Becareful son,' hans said as he watched the news. 'Well looks like the others have been busy,' hans thought to himself.

The grenades on the fallen hitmen did not explode when they hit the water, but the five-second timer was released and two explosions sprayed water throughout the stairwell.  The third still where the Dragonstorm squad were bunkered in, exploded with no interfering barrier...

----------

Eron & Mallard reached the hatch they disappeared through from the engineering room before and tried to open it, but to no avail.  Unbarred, they hooked one of Tank's shaped detonators by the hinges and set a timer, then swam around several corners to avoid the shock blast as the timer counted down to zero...

(OOC - I thought Rho Squad and the hitmen were above Vic's group? So how does a grenade "fall up" the stairs?)

"Ah, Werner, I was looking for you and Hans," Dr. Zanasiu said as the door opened.

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

Capt. Lutra radioed Ariol. "Ariol, this is bridge. Floe Rider will be meeting up with us in roughly 4 hours," he said.

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

Chi Leader found Dr. Tsang and his two assistants in the generator room. The floor below them was almost completely flooded.

"Freeze!" Chi Leader shouted.

"What's going on?" Dr. Tsang asked.

"You're coming with us!"

"I have to find those saboteurs!"

"Rho Squad is doing that! Now come with us!" Chi Leader snapped.

The other members of Chi Squad disarmed Dr. Tsang and his two assistants.

They then marched the three scientists back to the laboratory.

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

The explosive severed the hinges and the door slowly fell down.

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

Alfred returned from the supermarket with some bags of dried fruit, candy and salmon jerky.

He bumped into Aimee. "Ah, Aimee, so where are you heading today?" he asked.

Aimee looked at Alfred "Shop, food....I have not had the chance to eat all day, I mean, my meal at the mall was ruined by that fight and all, I mean, I do have some money left over that the others had given me....what about you...um, Alfred, right?"

Alfred grinned. "That's my name," he replied. His stomach growled. "Oh, looks like the fried tofu wasn't enough for me. In any case, mind if I join you for a meal?" he asked.

"And I you," Dr. Zanasiu replied, stepping into the room.

He spotted Spc. Crota coiled up on the couch. Almost immediately, Spc. Crota stretched and yawned, revealing his distinctive fangs.

"Dr. Zanasiu, Hans, Werner and I are attempting to break the intercepted Dragonstorm e-mails but we are not having much luck," Spc. Crota said, slithering off the couch.

"Good. Carry on," Dr. Zanasiu replied. "Oh, the entire group's heading out to the city for dinner at 7:00 tonight. You all want to come or no?" he added.

"I have to get permission from Cobalt Leader first," Spc. Crota replied.

"Ah, sure, I don't really mind at all, I was more or less also doing this to pass away the time while everyone else gets themselves ready and what have you" Aimee spoke as she then started to walk again down the footpath as she glanced to Alfred once more "I'm not really sure where the best place to go is though" she spoke again before slowing down outside a dairy, glancing at the newspaper on sale.

"Hold on...." Aimee told him as she grabbed it and looked on the front page, having a quick glance at the story, something flashing in her mind before it stopped as she walked inside to pay for the newspaper.  She headed back outside to join Alfred once more as she started to read the front page as they walked on some more "Hey, Alfred, what's the name of the city we're heading into for dinner?"

"deciphering out the emails should take a priorty,' hans said. "If dragonstorm is up to something we need to find out what it is,' werner said.

(OOC:  There were three grenades to the dead hitmen.  Two were knocked over the side, but the third was still on top when the grenades blew.)

"Understood," Ariol replied as he waited for Dr Tsang to return...

----------

The water flooded into the room as Eron & Mallard quickly swam out, their guns poised for anyone else in the room...

Alfred shrugged. "The nearest big city is the coastal city of Lincoln City," he replied. "That's probably where we're going."

Most of the locals ignored Alfred and Aimee but some of them stared at Aimee's cybernetic arms.

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

"I take that as a 'no', then," Dr. Zanasiu replied. "And just so you don't yell at me, the trip to the city also has a business side as well. Our newest ally, Aimee wishes to gather data for her own purposes at the city as well,"

Spc. Crota slithered out of the room.

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

The single grenade killed half of Rho Squad. Rho leader took a flashbang and tossed it down the stairs, where the rest of Vic's squad was.

"We'd love to but finding out what these emails mean could help us find out what dragoonstorm is up to,' hans said. "By the way do you know the name Piotr Kozlov,' werner asked. "It was mentioned in one of the emails,' hans added.

"Lincoln City?" Aimee asked, looking back at the front page once again, running her fingers through the story until stopping at a paragraph.  She glanced up to the date that was on the newspaper, then to what date was within the news article "Last week? Hmm, it's a long stretch, but it's worth a shot"

She looked up at Alfred again, ignoring the locals that were staring at her arms "You think that once we're done at the diner or wherever it is we're having dinner at, that we could stop by the local newshop? I need to ask them a question or two about something" she looked to the article some more, especially on a name that was within the article.

"Sure," Alfred replied. "Erm, what do you need to ask them about?"

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

Dr. Zanasiu nodded. "Piotr Kozlov was a scientist we encountered during the attack at Pelvanida. He worked in weapons development. I can't remember his face but all I remember is that he is this colossal Brown Bear," he said.

"It's a name in the article here, I don't know why, but I just get the feeling that I know that name from somewhere, but I just don't know where....the name, Gabriel, I don't know who that is, but it's just that when I read the name, an image or something flashed in my eyes, like I do know it, I've just gotta ask them about who this Gabriel person is...." Aimee replied back, looking back to the article again.
