(yes those are Correct)
Landon looked around as they continued driving down the road. it was then he noticed someone onm the side of the rosad waving his hands. " Hey pull over Al. theres someone in trouble' He called out.

Serris · **Reply #4381 on:** September 02, 2011, 05:55:24 PM

Alfred did as he was told.

Sharon and Cobalt Squad pulled their SUVs off the road, following Alfred.

Not knowing who it was, Gustave reached under his seat for his 4-gauge shotgun and slid two shells in.

Dr. Zanasiu got out of the SUV that Neville was driving. Neville had his hand near his holster.

As soon as Dr. Zanasiu saw the man, his eyes widened. "Shelton? What are you doing here?"

Roux nodded, smiling a little.
"Well, this is a twist~."
She said brightly as she saw Shelton...

Agito lay a gentle hand on Shakila's arm.
"Are you...feeling okay, Shakila?"
He asked softly...

Shelton panted heavily as he crawled into the van. "Awesome, it is you guys." He glanced at his bike, still on the dusty side of the road. "We can leave that. I never want to see a bike again."

Sharon looked around the van. "Anyone have any water?"

Shelton held up his hand. "I'm fine." He took a few deep breaths. "I'm pretty sure my cover with Dragonstorm has been blown. I just busted Shakila out of prison."

Nick22 · **Reply #4384 on:** September 07, 2011, 01:16:52 AM

you got Shakila out? Landon gaped.. "Exzcellent.. though gawd only only knows what they did to her, as for your civer being blown.. well you were going to have to break cover anyway.. here' he tossed shelton some water. ' you look like you need it..

"She's recovering with Hawkeye and his team now," Shelton caught the bottle and took several large drafts. "Thanks," he said gratefully.

Serris · **Reply #4386 on:** September 07, 2011, 11:23:43 PM

"Well, we're headed to the Texas base to destroy it," Sharon said as she got back into the driver's seat.

"Hey Shelton, think you can get Hawkeye and the others to lend some extra firepower?" Zachary asked.

"Well, we're not that far from the base."

Sharon then shut the door and grabbed the radio. "Everyone, we're continuing. Let's ride!"

The SUV then continued down the lonely desert road. In the distance, a high barbed wire fence could be seen.

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

Alfred, Gustave, Cobalt Squad, Dr. Zanasiu and Neville got into their SUVs and followed Sharon's SUV.

"I know you are, that's what I've got to talk to you about." Shelton almost handed Landon his bottle back, but thought twice and took several more long swigs.

What he said next, he also transmitted over the thought network within the SUV convoy. "Here's what you have to know before trying to assault Texas Base; individuals with thought chips or radios cant' use them once entering the perimeter. They have an intercepting relay field set up around the base; any messages you send will just get intercepted and heard by a security board. If we split the team up, each unit wil be on their own.

"In addition, they know that they just had a massive security breach, so a lot of important security systems are being heavily watched. It will be extremely tough for the hackers to accomplish anything on this mission. Just want to give a prior warning."

Nick22 · **Reply #4388 on:** September 08, 2011, 01:28:28 AM

Soi in order words we'll have our hands full' Landon replied " Which is basically what we expected heading in, so theres no real change there..
What do we need to blow up to festroy the base? Aisha asked ' aAnd I suppose they have barroiers up to prevent someone like Roux from just popping in and messing around with ir..

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4389 on:** September 08, 2011, 07:46:42 AM

"I'm actually not sure about that," Shelton admitted. "The security reports mentioned a cloaked figure appearing randomly in the prison bays, so her powers might work. What is she doing on our side again?"

Nick22 · **Reply #4390 on:** September 08, 2011, 02:27:49 PM

well shes befreiended me, and shes helped us out of a few spots' Aisha replied ' I trust her Shelton, shes a good girl at heart..she won't betrap us..

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4391 on:** September 08, 2011, 03:43:33 PM

Roux nodded.
"I didn't mean to attack you guys. I was...Dragonstorm had implanted me and all their experiments with control chips. Thankfully, Cale managed to short those out once they were distracted, so...I'm sorry..."
She said softly, ears drooping...

Nick22 · **Reply #4392 on:** September 08, 2011, 03:56:46 PM

I remoived Roux's thought chip' Landon said, coming to her defense "So theres no chance of Dragonstorm controling her anymore. she is on our side now Shelton, I trust her, and hopefully she will earn your trust as well down the line..

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4393 on:** September 08, 2011, 04:45:48 PM

Shelton shrugged. "Okay, if James and everyone else trusts you, they must have good reason. Glad you're on our team, I guess."

After he was done talking, Sharon decided to reaquaint herself with Shelton. "So!" She exclaimed, scooting next to him. "I didn't know you were still part of the picture! What have you been up to these past few days?"

He stared at her blankly. "Do I know you?"

She looked silently back. "...you seriously don't....?"

"Oh, yeah!" He suddenly exclaimed. "You worked at Pelvanida! Always turned your time cards in late! Your name was...uh.........ummmm...."

"Sharon," she said, annoyed.

"Yeah! Uh, great seeing you again Sharon!" He tried to put a friendly smile on his face. She turned away.

"Smooth, Casanova," Crota muttered under his breath."

"Shut up, I'm tired." Shelton folded his arms and sunk lower in his chair.

Serris · **Reply #4394 on:** September 08, 2011, 09:20:30 PM

The SUV convoy stopped in front of the guardhouse. A grizzled Coyote dressed in military-style desert camo and sunglasses and toting a shotgun held out his hand.

"Halt! You must show identification before you can proceed!" he barked. "Visitors are not permitted to use this entrance!"

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

Zachary tried to remain calm as he pretended to rummage for the stolen ID.

Unfortunately, the fact that his ears were pointed backwards in fear instead of the "neutral forward" characteristic of equines, posed a problem for him. He could only hope that the guard wouldn't get suspicious.

(OOC - Sharon was driving but assume that she switched places with Zachary.)

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4395 on:** September 11, 2011, 05:42:41 AM

The guard checked the ID and found it passed muster.

"Take your truck and drive it to the lot in the back. Seems all the vehicles are being used for some sort of manhunt, they'll be wanting this back in the field immediately, manned by an official search party."

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

In the back, Shelton sunk lower in his seat and turned the collar of his jacket up.

MrDrake · **Reply #4396 on:** September 11, 2011, 11:18:17 PM

Shakila did give off a light shrug at Agito's question "I guess you could say that I am, well, at least better than what I have been at least"

(Washington DC)

It did not take Trinity and O'Neil long to arrive at the Dragonstorm base in question. Trinity opened up the main door in question and stepped inside. She glanced up as the light above was flickering and sparking rather intensely before her attention shifted in front of her.

She sniffed the air slightly. Something was amiss in the area "Smells....rotten" was all she could sayas she opened the next door to a hallway that was indeed, covered in blood and the top half of a body laying in the middle of the hallway, almost as if it were reaching out for the front door.

The question was, where was the bottom half to this body.

Serris · **Reply #4397 on:** September 12, 2011, 12:12:27 AM

(Washington DC Base)

O'Neill peeled his lips back as the stench of decay hit him in the nose.

His eyes widened in horror as he spotted a patch of blood covering the entire light fixture.

"This can't be the work of Zanasiu and his crew," he said. "They're ferocious fighters and tenacious but they prefer shooting their enemies, not ripping them apart."

He then reached under his labcoat and swore as he realized he must have left his pistol in Florida.

"Trinity, got a gun I can borrow?" he asked.

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

(Deadwood Youth Correctional Facility)

The three SUVs parked in the motor pool at the rear of the facility and everyone disembarked.

"All right, let's just put our armor on and get rolling," Dr. Zanasiu said as he opened the tailgate of his SUV, revealing two large crates containing weapons, armor and other such equipment. He opened one of the crates and donned the ballistic vest and helmet. He also grabbed his shotgun and started sliding in shells as well as stocking his pockets with spare shells.

Gustave simply shoved as much of his custom ammunition as he could into his pockets. He chose to forgo armor, relying on his tough skin and bony scutes.

both Landon and Aisha grabbed what armot and weapons they could grab and spent a few minutes outting them on.. Landon had a firlfe and loaded it with Buillets.. ' we try and be asquiet as possiblem anf wheb that bo longer works, we shoot our way in.. i love this job " Landon said with a smirk.. ' So I take it we are all taking different areas of the base/ Aisha said, after finishing the loading of her gun..

"Where are you planning to send people? I know where the security room is, I could lead a team there," said Shelton. "Do we have any sort of face-concealing helmet for me to wear?"

Sharon glanced at James' Remington before equipping one of her own. "Don't forget your pistol with anti-experiment bullets, James," she smiled at him.
