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

"You see, that's the problem," Ariol replied coolly.  "It was you who made the decision to jeopardize Dragonstorm's years and funds of valuable research over 'quality control'.  Even after the top brass made it clear that no Dragonstorm experiment on this ship will be risked unnecessarily and after I gave clear-cut orders not to let Deathwind out..."  Without warning, he drew two guns from his side holders and fired three times each at Dr. Tsang's assistants...

"Deathwind is virtually invulnerable. It would take nothing short of an armored vehicle to pose a threat to him," Dr. Tsang replied, showing absolutely no fear.

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

"And what would you like?" the waiter asked Aisha.

Shakila walked down the street, looking at everyone else, giving herself a small smile in the process.  Her place wasn't that far either, in walking distance to the newspaper company.

Sure, her place in question was in a more rundown area of the city, but to her, it was home none the less as she entered the flat, flicking on the light as she picked up a backpack and threw a few things into it, along with a laptop "No way I'm leaving this behind" she smiled to herself as she walked off to the bathroom in order to grab a few more things, not worrying about a shower or anything at the moment.

Soon enough, she picked the backpack up and put it onto her back before flicking the light off and walking out of the house, locking the door and walking off towards where the inn was.

"Shrimp, clam and mussel pasta," the waiter replied.

"I'll take the vegetable stew," Zachary said.

Ariol raised one of his guns straight at Dr. Tsang, the barrel leaving a tiny trail of smoke from within.  "You forget, Doc.  You're not at the top of the pecking order...  Chi Leader!  Put this quack in Deathwind's cage for the time being, and get that superweapon back here!  If that monster doesn't come back here in one piece, Doc, you'll be the first to suffer before you die.  Your loyal assistants are the lucky ones to die quickly..."

----------

Mallard and Eron gave a quick burst of gunfire across the hall past where Rho squad was shooting at the rest of the team before taking cover.

Deathwind's wings hummed as it charged with power, before the superweapon let forth a blast of sonic energy, shredding metal as it blazed down the halls...

----------

Down the road, a Sedan with four occupants where making their way into the city...

Chi Leader pushed Dr. Tsang into the cell while another scientist locked down the cell.

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

Rho Leader was nicked by one of the bullets and he sent a burst of gunfire back at them in response.

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

The knocking on the door continued.

Spc. Crota drew his sidearm and peered through the peephole. He saw a Human in a hotel uniform.

"Hans! Werner! Did you call for room service?" Spc. Crota asked.

Several minutes later, the waiters returned with their dishes.

Dr. Zanasiu dug into the blackened mahi-mahi.

Alfred slowly ate his sandwich.

Soon enough, Shakila had arrived at the inn, walking up to the front desk "I understand that this is where I meet up with Aimee and th others?" she asked the clerk.

The clerk looked at her for a moment "Yes, it is, I take it you're a friend of theirs?" he asked her.

"You could say that, I had just meet Aimee and her friend earlier on, they told me I can meet them here" Shakila replied back.

"Well, that is true, but they haven't returned yet, only a few are here that's part of that little group" the clerk told the young feline back.

"Very well then, give me a room for myself and if they come asking for me, you can tell them I'm here and what room they can find me in" she replied back as she handed over some money.

"I'll be sure to tell them" the clerk told her, handing over the key to her room.

Shakila just smirked a little back as she took the key from the clerk and walked off to her room, unlocking the door and walking in, closing it behind her and putting her bag down before bringing out her laptop, switching it on and putting the flash drive in to look at the files once more she had copied over "These Dragonstorm things....they seem to be rather....interesting, but dangerous?" she looked through more files, coming across an email or something that was saved as she read it "Hmm, it seems like these Dragonstorm things are more dangerous than what I had first thought.....all they need is to find some sort of weakness in them....."

She leaned back against the chair before reaching over to the phone and picking it up, calling for some room service as she continued to look through the various files before going to her backpack, putting it down onto the table instead as she heard a knock on the door.

Shakila got up with a quick stretch as she opened the door "Your food"

She looked at the small brown paper bag and took it from him, handing over a dollar note "Thank you....can you do me a favour? The ones who are here that's part of Aimee's group....tell them I have the information....." she smiled to him before shutting the door on him.

The bellboy walked off towards Spc. Crota, Hans and Werner's room in order to pass on the message that Shakila had told him.

(OOC - Erm, Aimee, Cpl. Stern and Shakila just walked about 50 or so miles to Culeston.)

The bellboy, a wiry Poodle, knocked on the door to Hans' room. The other employee had simply walked away after not getting a response.

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

Spc. Crota got up from his place on the couch and drew his sidearm as he approached the door. He peered through the peephole and saw a Poodle in the Redwood Inn uniform.

He gestured for Neville to call the front desk.

Neville got up from the luggage rack he was using as his seat and did so, taking his shotgun with him.

A minute later, Neville spoke. "Let him in," he said, hanging up the phone.

Spc. Crota, holstered his pistol , undid the locks and let the bellboy into the room.

(OOC: Nope, just Shakila, she walks everywhere....perhaps I should've also said she could've taken a taxi to the inn you know...sorry, forgot about that little piece of information XD)

The bellboy looked to everyone in the room before speaking "A Mrs. Shakila wishes to speak to you about some information she had gathered, she says she was with a Mrs. Aimee before" he told the group.

Shakila on the other hand, was rummaging through her backpack at the moment after having slipped out of her clothes before tipping it all out onto the nearby couch "I knew I should've grabbed more clothes than this...." she muttered to herself as she held up some shorts looking at them before tossing them aside.  She had a fair amount of clothes, but she was rather picky with what she wanted to wear at the moment, being rather undecided as she glanced back to her laptop, rubbing her head a little bit as well before deciding to just sit back down and placing her head down upon the table with a light groan.

Spc. Crota slithered up to the bellboy. "Thank you sir. When can we be expecting her?" he asked, placing a dollar bill into the bellboy's hand.

"Hans, Werner, you guys want something to eat?" Neville asked.

"She is in her room at the moment" the bellboy told Spec. Corta back "So, I am unsure, she never did tell me when she would come and see you, all she told me was to pass on a message"

Shakila raised her head up as she got up, having finally decided on what to wear as she picked up some clothes and headed off to the bathroom to have a shower at the very least.

Zachary was gulping down his stew. "This stew's pretty good," he said, dipping some bread in it.

Cobalt Leader was attacking the pasta.

The two Cobalt soldiers were slowly eating their meals, shrimp scampi and broiled flounder respectively.

"This place has delicious food," Dr. Zanasiu said, eating his dish.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we get something for Cpl. Stern and Aimee?" Alfred asked sipping his drink.

Dr. Zanasiu gestured for a menu.

"What else would you like?" the Ferret waiter asked, handing him the menu.

"The broiled tilapia sandwich with an order fries and a crab cake sandwich with an order of fries. To go please," Dr. Zanasiu said.

The waiter nodded, wrote down the order and took the menu.

"I'll call Dr. Landon and see if he got lost," Alfred said, pulling out his cellphone. He then dialed Dr. Landon. "Hey, Doc, it's me Alfred, we're eating dinner at Neptune's Harvest by the ocean," he said into the phone.

Soon enough, Shakila had stepped out of the shower, drying herself off before putting on her clothes and walking back over to the table, reaching into the brown paper bag she was handed before, pulling out some sushi and taking a bite out of it before grabbing her laptop and paper bag and walking out of her room down to Spc. Crota's room.

She knocked upon the door and waited for an answer from them, humming a little bit to herself as well.

"Who is it?" Spc. Crota asked. He had his sidearm at the ready.

Sgt. Masters and Neville backed him up.
