"Stern is present and accounted for" The corporal was alert and ready, despite the dangers that lay ahead of them. He was not a man to become easily distracted. "At this point, we need to move quickly and decisively. We have a final plan of action, right?"

Aimee was still looking at the DVD, as if trying to guess on what could be on it as she answered Alfred "Yeah, I'm here as well"

Dr. Zanasiu blanched. "We have an immediate plan Corporal," he replied. "We rest up, analyze the DVD and get info on Weyland-Yutani. I have not fully decided where our next target will be. The ability to get us a subpoena will be of tremendous help but if we cannot obtain a subpoena. We may have no choice but to break into one of Weyland-Yutani's factories,' he said.

Alfred sighed as he waited for Dr. Landon and Aisha to announce themselves. "We nearly got shot over the last break in! Our luck is going to run out and we'll get arrested or killed during one of these break ins!" he said in exasperation.

"We have no choice," Zachary said.

"Could someone fill me in on what you're all talking about?" asked Shelton. "Who's Weyland-Lutani, and why do we care?"

Serris · **Reply #704 on:** March 17, 2010, 03:38:46 PM

"Weyland-Yutani is one of the foremost manufacturers of prosthetic limbs and other cybernetics. And you should know this but Pelvanida has a contract with them," Dr. Zanasiu replied.

"We think that Weyland-Yutani may have a link to Dragonstorm, Aimee, Trinity Facility and Lab 101," Dr. Bailey added.

"Right, 'cause I remember every unimportant fact from before life went to hell," Shelton rubbed his forehead and winced. "And Aimee would be...?"

"The girl right next to you."

"Oh!" Shelton looked surprised. "Yeah, I shoulda known that too, James mentioned that." He extended a hand. "Give me a break, I've been prowling the countryside 48 hours straight looking for all of you. Please don't crush my hand."

Deathwind was quick to come to. He got to his feet to find that his prey had escaped. He gave a violent roar in rage, echoing down the length of the ship...

----------

Ariol grabbed the nearest scientist. "Did you have Deathwind chipped as soon as he was on this ship?" he demanded.

----------

The larger portion of the team reached into a hall linked to several rooms, some of them labeled for laboratories. Giving nothing to chance, they picked the room near the center of the hall and opened it to sweep it for life...

----------

Eron & Mallard also reached a hall of rooms on the upper levels of the ship below deck. They need to find a room quick...

Well, our luck hasn'trun out yet" Dr Landon replied

Rest , to me is essential..then we can worrying about breaking into the Weyland-Yutani facility.." aisha said.

Aimee looked over to Shelton once he spoke and decided to shake his hand back "So, you're on our side, that's good....would rather have people on our side than anyone else wanting us dead....especially me, I've got enough troubles as it is with people who do want me dead...."

"Deathwind is chipped," a Lemur scientist replied. He then looked at a screen. "He is in the deep levels of the ship, near the engine room and some of the lower laboratories," he added.

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

"All right everyone's accounted for. Let's roll out!" Alfred said, driving the hijacked van back onto the road and heading for Culeston. The clock on the van read 0320.

Dr. Zanasiu, Dr. Bailey and Cobalt Leader were asleep in the back.

Dr Landon And Aisha leaned back against the middle seat, Aisha felt herse;f growing tired it had been a long, yet eventful day..

Alfred was starting to fall asleep and the van drifted into the opposite lane.

"Alfred! Wake up!" the Mongoose Cobalt soldier shouted.

Alfred snapped awake and corrected the drift. "Can someone else take over?" he asked.

He pulled the van over to the side of the road.

"I'd love to, but I don't know where the hotel is," said Shelton. "I'm remarkably awake for someone who hasn't slept for 48 hours."

MrDrake · **Reply #713 on:** March 18, 2010, 12:35:30 AM

"And I don't know how to drive" Aimee spoke up as she put the DVD into her pocket, leaning back up against the side of the van.

Serris · **Reply #714 on:** March 18, 2010, 12:42:37 AM

The Human Cobalt soldier got in the driver's seat. "I'll drive she said," starting the vehicle.

Alfred climbed into the back and fell asleep.

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

PFC Reynolds was asleep in Cobalt Squad's room.

The mongoose turned back to Shelton. "Were you the designated driver for that team?" he asked.

"Naw, that was Dolon," said Shelton. "The bloke your commander executed back there."

"Oh." The Mongoose fell silent for a minute. "Who were those guys?"

"Dragonstorm has organized several five- to six-man teams to act as recon groups or to be sent on away missions. That one, which included me, was the first team assembled. The First Dragonstorm Reconnaissance Team, or DS-1. We had the highest success count out of all the DS teams."

The human looked over. "Do I detect a hint of remorse in your voice? You haven't gone Stockholm on us, have you?"

Shelton looked down. "I will admit I felt some kinship between myself and those five men," he admitted, "Except Protesilaus. He was creepy. But they backed the wrong horse, and now they're dead, and there's nothing I can do about it. This way, there'll be nobody to prevent me from helping you guys take the entire organization down. War has casualties, and every decent member of Dragonstorm I've ever met has ended up one of them."

dr landon yawned ' its just as well i'm too tired to drive.. how much longer until we get to the hotel..? he asked stifling a yawn..

"About an hour," the Human Cobalt soldier replied.

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

Back in the Lab 101 forest base, Dr. Kerzach was having a drink of orange juice in the kitchen.

"Damn it! Where's Simpson?" he said.

"Simpson? He went out with DS-1. They were supposed to intercept a van that one of our spies suspected held Dr. Zanasiu and his group," Montgomery said, brewing some hot tea.

Nick22 · **Reply #718 on:** March 19, 2010, 12:28:35 AM

how many truly decent folks are there in dragonstorm though" Dr Landon asked : You could probably count them on your fingers, and have several to spare...

An hour passed and the van pulled into the parking lot of the Redwood Inn.

The Human Cobalt soldier turned off the engine and opened the door.

Dr. Zanasiu, Alfred, Zachary, Cobalt Leader. the Mongoose Cobalt soldier and Dr. Bailey staggered out of the van.

"What time is it?" Dr. Zanasiu asked groggily.

Cobalt Leader looked at his watch. "Almost 4 AM," he said.
