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

Aimee got out of the van as well "I'm going to head to my room and figure out what's on this DVD" she told everyone else as she gave off a stretch and started to walk off towards the room.

She opened up the door and entered, sitting down upon the couch for now before looking over to the table and noticing a suitcase "That's....not ours...." she muttered as she got up and walked over to it, listning in to hear a faint beeping noise.

Aimee stepped back, taking caution with it and decided to instead, head out again to tell the others about the beeping suitcase in the room.

Cobalt Leader and his two soldiers were in their room and preparing to go to bed.

PFC Reynolds was already asleep on the floor.

Cobalt Leader was taking a shower and the two other soldiers were already asleep.

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

Spc. Crota was coiled up asleep on the couch and Neville was keeping watch.

Sgt. Masters was sleeping on the floor.

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

Dr. Zanasiu was in his room taking a shower.

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

Alfred was getting his clothes ready so he could shower.

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

Zachary was in the lobby, which was nearly deserted at this time. He had purchased some snacks from the nearby general store.
 
As he went to hallway to enter the elevator he ran into Aimee.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

"Well, kind of" Aimee started "It's in my room, there's a suitcase in there....and well....there's like a small beeping noise coming from it, and what's more, I don't know what it is actually"

Zachary swore. "I'll bet it's a bomb. Tell the management to call the police because tell them that you found a suspicious package in your room. I'll alert everyone," he said.

Aimee gave a nod back as she headed off again to talk to management "I need you to call the police, I found a package in my room that's not even mine" she told the clerk.

The clerk gave a nod back as he proceeded to call the police as Aimee headed back to where everyone else was as she had ran into Shakila "So, you made it"

"Yeah, but there is a problem, I lost the information, thanks to someone named Trinity" Shakila replied back, to which Aimee's eyes widen.

"Trinity? No!" Aimee let off a growl "Trinity is who I've been after all this time, she is Gabriel, one in the same"

Zachary was about to take the elevator to the second floor when he spotted the fire alarm pull station.

He broke the glass and pulled the alarm.

He flinched as the sirens sounded throughout the hotel.

Zachary then exited the hotel through the emergency exit.

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

Dr. Zanasiu woke up with a start. He dashed out of the hotel room in his pajamas with only his keycard in hand.

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

Neville grabbed Hans and Werner and shook them.

"Hey, what's the big i-" Han's words died on his lips as soon as he heard the fire alarm.

Spc. Crota, Sgt. Masters, Hans, Werner calmly filed out the room.

Several of the guests, some in their pajamas and some half dressed, were making their way to the stairwells.

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

Cobalt Leader was leading Cobalt Squad and PFC Reynolds to the exit.

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

"Aisha! Dr. Landon! Get up!" Alfred shouted over the sirens in his room.

dr landon slowly got to his feet and made his way out of the room, followed by a bleary eyed Aisha, who tried to stifle a yawn as she headed down the hallway " So.. Who pulled .. the al-YAWN' arm? She asked through a yawn..

Alfred grabbed his wallet and room key and shoved them in his pocket. "No idea but let's get out of here!" he said.

Once he made his way to the hall, he found several guests making their way to the stairwells.

Alfred then took some sniffs of the air. "Strange, I don't smell smoke," he said.

Aimee and Shakila ran over to the others as well "Alfred, we have a problem, Shakila lost the data, thenks to....guess who....Trinity" Aimee told him with a slight growl as well.

Trinity had also meet in the lobby, watching everyone else as she walked over to the others "Do any of you know what's going on? I was having such a lovely sleep when the alarm went off"

Shakila looked over at the strange woman who had spoke up, as she shook her head back "No, I'm actually not sure myself"

Alfred swore. "Great all that data was for naught too," he said.

Alfred then eventually exited the stairwell into the parking lot.

"Over here!" Zachary shouted waving at him.

Alfred followed him over to the van. Spc. Crota, Dr. Bailey, Dr. Zanasiu, Cobalt Squad, PFC Reynolds, Sgt. Masters, Hans, Werner, Cobalt Leader and Neville all stood by the van.

"What the hell is going on?" Sgt. Masters demanded.

"Aimee found a bomb in her room," Zachary replied in a whisper.

"So you pulled the fire alarm to evacuate everyone?"

Zachary nodded.

"Smart thinking," Sgt. Masters said.

The wail of sirens could be heard in the distance.

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

"Someone pulled the fire alarm, genius," a sleep deprived Wild Boar snapped at Trinity as he passed through the lobby to the exit.

"Trinity really needs to be stopped...." Aimee growled a little bit.

Trinity looked over to the group "They're smarter than what they appear to be...." she muttered to herself as the police arrived on the scene to take care of the bomb, entering the room.

One police officer walked over and slowly opened up the suitcase in order to take a good look at the bomb, only for it to go off, the opening of the suitcase having triggered the explosion, several police officers being killed in the explosion.

"S---!" Zachary shouted as soon as he heard the explosion.

"Damn it! We lost all our s---!" Spc. Crota said.

"Not everything," Cobalt Leader said, revealing that his pistol was still in its holster.

"Great, now we've got to buy new clothes, new weapons, new everything," Alfred grumbled.

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

One of the officers on scene called for the fire department to extinguish the fire started by the bomb.

Aimee pulled out the DVD from her pocket "I still have this as well, I'm keeping it on me, just in case"

Shakila approached everyone else as well, folding her arms "I guess this is not how things have planned"

Aimee thought for a second "I have a feeling that trinity is behind it all, i don't know why.....I mean, why else would there be a bomb in my room?"

Shakila nodded along with Aimee "Yeah, that does prove to be a good point, I mean, that happened not long after my laptop was lost to a virus by Trinity, I have a feeling she's trying to stop us now from finding out anything"

Shelton realized he'd dozed off in the back of the van. "'Sup? He asked lazily, rolling the window down. "What's everyone doing out here? Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

Shakila pulled out her own credit card from her pocket and looked at it "I so need a new laptop now...." she muttered to herself as she looked around a little bit as well, her ears twitching a little bit as well.

And that's when he pulled up to the hotel in his own car, an undercover cop car, it was Jayden, wearing sunglasses before he had taken them off to tak a good look at what had happened, deciding to approach the clerk, flashing his badge at him "Special Agent Jayden, I would like to ask you a few questions in regards to what had happened here"

Shakila looked over to Jayden before turning to Alfred "That cop guy is here, the one who spoke to you....I recognize his voice, and the name as well"

Alfred nodded. "He mentioned his name before. Jason, was it?" he said.

"Shelton," Dr. Zanasiu said, "someone tried to kill Aimee and likely all of us as well. We'll need to move and purcase new supplies."

"Where to?" Zachary asked. "All we've got are three vehicles - the van, Al's heavy pickup truck and Neville's sedan - and whatever we're wearing or carrying."

"Has anyone seen Cpl. Stern?" Dr. Bailey said, counting heads.

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

The clerk nodded. "A female Vulpine reprted a suspicious object in her room. Just after I dialed 911, the fire alarm goes off. Once we've evacuated, the f---ing hotel explodes!" he replied.

"Something like that I think" Shakila replied back "Perhaps one of us should go and speak to him?"

Jayden thought for a moment "Could it be the same female vulpine I had spoken to last night?" he asked himself "But then, that still doesn't solve the mystery on who that woman was, if she is the same one that did this or not" he continued to think on it some more, looking to the clerk "Do you have a list of who had been given a room at this hotel?"

(OOC - Jayden and the clerk are outside, right?)

"Sounds like an idea; I'll do it," Alfred said, heading towards the front of the hotel. There, he saw assault rifle toting police guarding the front of the hotel, which was cordoned off with yellow crime scene tape. Several other officers, who were all canines and appeared to be members of the bomb squad, were remotely controlling robots designed to find and disable bombs.

Jayden and several other officers were interviewing guests and staff.

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

The clerk nodded. "We keep records of all guests in our hotel," he said. "But they are on the computer and I can't access them right now."

We 'd best get going then.." aisha said " Go to the clerk Alfred and check out.. Dr Landon and I will be waiting in your truck.. " she said as she headed towards the truck, which had seen better days " aisha frankly would prefer a better vehicle, but since they had to keep a low profile, this was the best they could scrouge up..
