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

Cpl. Stern shook his head. "Until you find the body. Never assume death," he said. "She may be a nightmare but we still have to abide by the law. Of course, killing in self defense is acceptable," he added.

Alfred turned down a road with an "H" sign on it.

-----------

Cobalt Squad reached the grounds of Culeston General Hospital with Zachary close behind. The hospital itself was not very large, yet it boasted an excellent trauma center.

Neville parked the car and dashed into waiting room. Cobalt Squad following him. "We're here to see someone named Aimee," he said.

"All of you?" the Poodle receptionist asked.

"Yes all of us," Cobalt Leader snapped.

"What is her name?"

"Just Aimee. She has two cybernetic arms though."

The receptionist bought up the profile on the computer. "She's in the emergency room and being prepared for surgery," the receptionist said.

"So can we visit her?" Neville asked, growing impatient.

"Yes you may but only 2 visitors at a time."

"So, how are you going to be paying for this?" Aimee asked Shakila as they were being preped for surgery.

"Oh, don't worry about that Aimee, I have my ways" Shakila replied back, handing over her credit card to the nurse "To pay for surgery" she told the nurse.

"You have enough?" Aimee asked back.

Shakila gave a nod "Oh yes, I've got plenty, trust me on this one" she mused more or less.

"Oh great..." Aiko said, pounding the desk.  "The whole damn ship is on lock down now..."

"Relax," Vic replied.  "We can't fool them all every time.  Only the vital parts of the tanker are sealed off, like the bridge and the engine room.  Sometimes we only have to go basic..."

"Boss?  You got a plan?"

----------

Deathwind looked at the pieces of steel around him, and dropped what was left in his claws.  Although he has very little expressions, he smirked.  His wings began to hum.  "You can't kill me...  If you want me, come here and get me...  OR, stand aside, and maybe I'll let you live..."

Zachary pulled into the parking lot and turned off the engine.

"Everyone out," Zachary said, getting out of the van.

Dr. Zanasiu, Dr. Bailey and PFC Reynolds got out of the van and headed to the entrance of the hospital.

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

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters slithered into the ER. It was packed mostly with victims of the bomb blast.

They then entered Aimee's room.

"Aimee, Shakila. How are you feeling?" Spc. Crota asked.

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

Alfred pulled into the parking lot and turned off the engine.

"We're here," Alfred said, getting out of the truck.

Cpl. Stern looked at the hospital's name: Culeston General Hospital.

"We're not too late, are we?" Cpl. Stern asked.

"I'm still hesitant about this..." said Shelton nervously. "I know for a fact that at least one employee here has helped Dragonstorm smuggle medical supplies to Lab 101. Just be on your guard."

"Oh, we're doing just peachy" Shakila joked as the nurse returned with her credit card, handing it back over to her.

"Yeah, easy for you to say" Aimee added in as she looked over to the two reptiles "Anyways, yeah, I guess we're not doing too bad, if you could say that....but can't wait to get out of this in the end....." she then trailed off after that.

"Oh please, you're not going after that Trinity woman after this, it's just not right, you need to give yourself time to heal after surgery at the very least" Shakila told Aimee back.

Aimee just gave off a light groan after that "Fine...." she grumbled.

***

Jayden on the other hand, had also arrived at the hospital, getting out of his car, his sunglasses were on, before he lifted them up slightly to take a look at the hospital.  He approached Alfred and the others "I take it that the two of them are in there?" he asked the group.

Alfred nodded as he overheard Shelton speak. "Yes, they are in there. Also, we have suspicions that Trinity may try to assault the hospital. And Shelton claims that at least one employee works for Dragonstorm and has smuggled medical supplies out," he replied.

He then watched as Dr. Zanasiu's group headed into the hospital.

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

"Which one?" Dr. Zanasiu asked Shelton as the group approached the front desk.

"We are here to visit Aimee," Dr. Bailey said. He gave all the information the receptionist needed to know about Aimee.

"I'm sorry but already has two visitors," he said.

"Who are they?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

"Sorry, but I cannot tell you that."

Jayden gave a nod towards Alfred before he entered the hospital and walked over to the receptionist, showing the badge to him "Special Agent Jayden, I'm here to see Aimee and Shakila, I need to ask them a few questions" he told the receptionist.

***

The nurse that was attending to Aimee and Shakila, still preping them for surgery "Not long now till you're ready for surgery" she begun to tend to Aimee's nose by that point.

Aimee just grumbled as Shakila spoke up "Oh, you should relax a bit too, just be thankful you're getting something done about your nose and thigh, I mean, I needed something to be done about my foot"

The receptionist looked up Shakila. Not surprisingly, she was the only Shakila in the system. "She is in the emergency room," he replied.

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

"Guys, I'm going in to see Aimee and Shakila," Alfred said, heading towards the entrance.

"Thank you" Jayden said as he walked off towards the emergency room, removing his sunglasses, putting them into his pocket for the time being as he walked down the hallway, looking at each of the victims of the recent attacks.

***

Shakila looked over to whom had entered the room, Jayden "Hey, Aimee, it's that cop" she motioned over to him.

Aimee looked over to Jayden, whom in turn, approached the two of them, taking a nearby seat "You two okay?"

"Ah, we could be better" Shakila joked a bit.

"Let me guess, it was Trinity that did this to you?" Jayden asked them next.

Aimee let off a small growl "Yeah, it was her, the woman I'm going to kill the next time I see her"

Jayden just nodded a little bit "I understand how you're feeling, but it would be best to arrest her first, get what information we can from her before we doing anything stupid"

"As usual, you cops are all the same, arrest them, put them in jail, and when their sentence is up, they walk free" Aimee snorted a little bit.

"Hey, Aimee, I think that he's got a point you know, otherwise, you'll be on the list of most wanted instead" Shakila spoke up next.

Aimee just snorted some more, glaring a little bit to Jayden, sitting up a little bit as well as she looked over to Shakila "You don't know that, besides, it's better to do something like than let her walk free in a few years time....no....I want her dead....and that's final" she looked back to Jayden.

Jayden just gave off a sigh "You're not making this any easier Aimee" he told her "Cause your friend there is right, if you kill someone, you'll end up being wanted"

"It'll be worth it.....so long as Trinity dies....." Aimee spoke back, her fists clenching a little bit as well.

Shelton racked his brain before answering the question about the hospital employee who sympathized with Dragonstorm.

"Nametag read 'Ethan.' I didn't get his last name," said Shelton, eying the receptionist suspiciously. "Camilla and I picked the supplies up after a disastrous mission to coastal Alaska where several team members were badly wounded. He was short, light-skinned, brown hair. Pretty generic."

Aisha looked at the nurse, is there anyway you can give Aimee a pair of arm transplants.. those  arms she has weren't given to her..
_
 A arm transplant costs 40, 000; if you're doing both of them, thats 80 grand;' a nurse replied. 'If you are willing to pay for it, yeah we can give her a transplant, but not until after her bullet wounds are fixed..
- 80 THOUSAND? Aisha started.. 'I didn't know they cost so much " Well they do, for one you have to have donor arms from the same species and gender, and have the fur colors match up, you don't want her arm fur to be completely different from the rest of her... now i'm must head off to see these two through surgery..

"Not the receptionist," Dr. Zanasiu whispered. "He's not Human."

"I'm going after this person!" Cobalt Leader muttered, reaching for his pistol.

"Cobalt! No! We don't want to get in the newspaper!" Zachary said, pinning Cobalt Leader's hand to his side.

"Please, sir, now is not the time," the Mongoose Cobalt soldier said.

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

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters nodded and slithered out of the ER and returned to the front desk.

"They're heading in for surgery right now," Spc. Crota said, coiling up by the potted plant.

Sgt. Masters looked around.

Jayden just sighed again, shaking his head slight as he got up and walked out to go and meet back up with the others "Aimee seems to be a lost cause, she's determined to kill this Trinity woman, even if it is at the cost of becoming wanted herself, then again, I guess I can't really blame her, wanting revenge on one of the ones who had done what they had done to her"

"Trust us, she will get her wish," Cobalt Leader replied.

"So what do we do now?" Dr. Bailey asked.

"I guess we wait," Cpl. Stern replied, sitting on a couch.

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

Omega Leader nodded and two of his men fired nets at Deathwind. The nets were a composed of carbon nanotube fiber with exceptional strength. The other men stood by with laser rifles at the ready.

"I recognize Ethan if we saw him again, but I don't know what good it would do," mused Shelton. "I can already lead us to Lab 101 whenever we're ready, and frankly I'm not sure how we're going to sneak such a large party in anyway. There's like twenty of us!"

Outside the hospital stood a vulpine, whom was looking at the building, examining it, tilting her head to one side, then the other before straighting her head again.

She wore rather revealing clothes, a tank top and some rather short shorts.  Her fur colour was rather dark as well, more on the grey side than the brown side, something that wasn't all that common.

The vulpine then moved, walking towards the hospital, entering it and walking straight up to the receptionist "I am here to see a patient" she spoke up "The name of the patient is Aimee, last name is unknown"

The receptionist looked up at the vulpine "And of what relation are you to the patient?"

The vulpine paused for a moment before speaking up "Sister"

"I'm sorry, but she can't accept any visitors right now, as she is going into surgery" the receptionist told the vulpine back.

"Surgery?" she then gave the receptionist a nod back and turned to walk down the hall in order to find the surgery room where Aimee would be.

Jayden watched the vulpine before looking over to Stern "Does Aimee, by any chance, have a sister?" he asked him, still keeping his eye on the vulpine whom was walking off.

Cpl. Stern put down the magazine he was reading and wrinkled his forehead in thought. After a few minutes, he spoke. "I met Aimee several years ago at a Vulpine reservation in Colorado. I do not believe she had one. Still, we best be on guard as we very well could be looking at one of Trinity's agents," he said.

Spc. Crota was coiled up on the floor and reading a magazine.

"Hey Mitch! You got some gum?" Zachary asked.

Spc. Crota pulled out a vial of antivenom, a few bandages and finally a small pack of mint gum. "Here," he said, tossing the pack to Zachary.

Zachary put two sticks in his mouth. "Uh, why do you have antivenom?"

"Standard protocol for Venomi who serve in the armed forces," Spc. Crota replied putting his stuff back into his pockets.

(OOC - "Venomi" is the term that all venomous animals in this universe are referred to.)

Jayden motioned over to the vulpine who was now down in the hallways "It's her I was talking about, says she is Aimee's sister from what I had just overheard, however, if you say she has no sister....then something is wrong...."

***

The strange vulpine girl continued to walk down the hallway of the hospital, approaching some double doors that had read "No visitors beyond this point" yet, she ignored the sign and walked through anyway, still in search for the surgery room of where Aimee was.

She glanced at the doctors and nurses around who were at first, too busy to stop her, until one walked over to her, a human "I'm sorry Ms. but you can not be in here" he told her, yet, she just ignored him as she continued to walk on still "Ms!"

She stopped as the doctor approached her "Are you lost by any chance? You are not suppose to be here"

"I am searching for the surgery room" the vulpine spoke back as she looked over at the doctor.

"I'm sorry, but we do not allow visitors into any surgery room, if you are waiting for someone in surgery, then you will just have to wait for them to be finished" the doctor told her back.

The vulpine girl looked at him for a moment before speaking "You are of no help to me" she then turned back and continued to walk onwards still, only to have the doctor follow her, again, trying to stop her, but this time, she retaliated by reaching out and grabbing his neck straight away and seconds later, in a flick of her wrist, snapping his neck before dropping him onto the ground and continuing with what she was doing.
