Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

The first thing the team did as they entered the propeller driveshaft rooms was placing a large set of explosives next to the driveshafts, but it was not set on...yet.

(OOC: I'm still not sure when Starfall will be back.)

Inside the supertanker's massive hull were a network of laboratories and cryogenic chambers. The sterile stainless steel halls were modeled after Pelvanida. But the engine room looked like the one inside any other ship, hot, humid and potentially dangerous.

"Hey! Who are those people?" a Wolverine guard asked. He pointed a group who recently climbed down the ladders.

The squad leader, a Human whose face looked like it was carved from solid granite radioed the captain.

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

"Damned fog!" the captain shouted. He was a lean Otter wearing traditional captain's outfit, but a holster near his hip carried a pistol and underneath the outfit was a concealed hard armor vest capable of stopping rifle fire. To add to the security, the entire pilothouse was armored.

"Captain Lutra! There are intruders on the ship," the intercom blared

"Engage them!" Captain Lutra replied. He then sealed the engine room. "Probably some wannabe pirates," he muttered.

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

"Roger that," the squad leader said. "Men, give chase!"

The squad them gave chase to the mysterious boarders.

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

Alfred headed out of the room. He then met Zachary coming out his his room.

"Okay, let's go," Alfred said, heading to the elevators.

(OOC - MK, you can control the squad who gives chase to them.)

The canine troopers' ears pricked up as they heard the commotion up top. "Boss," Aiko said, "We got company from above."

"Seal the door!" Vic ordered.

They had come through a hatch from the main engine room to the driveshafts, and they quickly moved to close it shut, and backed away while Snow used fire to weld the edges shut.

Tank moved the explosive out of sight and set the system to remote control.

They went to another door that was sealed by the captain.

"Hack it," Vic said.

"On it, Boss," the Akita replied, and he hooked himself up into the side panel...

----------

"Just keep the ship on course," Ariol replied. "There are no natural obstructions between us and the Pacific." He paused as the intercom reported stowaways on board. "Since when do pirates attack us in a protected harbor?"

Serris · **Reply #143 on:** February 01, 2010, 12:59:11 AM

"Capt. Lutra! We are being hacked!" a Human computer technician shouted into the intercom.

A large blinking red box that read "unauthorized entry detected" appeared on his screen.

The surroundings of the computer tech were a large control room set deep inside the ship. It was protected by heavy blast doors

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

Capt. Lutra activated the electric fence that ringed the entire ship. His radar picked up several ships so he could not deploy the weapons systems without giving away his true intentions.

He then picked up the intercom. "You don't have to shout! Fix damage that the hackers have done!" he replied.

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

The squad leader swore as a blast door sealed off their fastest way to the engine room.

"[censored]ers must've tripped the blast doors!" he spat.

He then gestured for his men to head down an alternate passage to the engine room.

In the process, they nearly trampled over a hapless Cobra mechanic.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #144 on:** February 01, 2010, 01:21:22 AM

Several more seconds and the blast door in front of them opened.

"Get through, quick!"

The team filed through the door into another hall.

"Anyone following us?" Vic asked.

Snow ears pricked a few times. "No. They must be taking another way to us."

"Let's get down far enough so we can blow the driveshafts. By now, they've sealed the control tower, so we'll have to kill the source of electronics on this ship."

----------

The realization of an experiment's psionic ability had Deathwind springing onto his hind feet. He pounds on the glass doors to get out and hunt...

----------

Ariol listened calmly with the Captain and the intercom...

Serris · **Reply #145 on:** February 02, 2010, 03:33:46 PM

Zachary and Alfred had arrived at the truck. There, Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters were waiting for them.

"Ready to roll?" Alfred asked, climbing into the driver's seat.

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters hoisted themselves into the truck's bed and coiled themselves up.

"Ready," Spc. Crota said.

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

One of the scientists working with Deathwind looked at him.

The scientist then radioed Capt. Lutra. "Capt. Lutra, this is Dr. Tsang from the experiments section, 'Deathwind' appears to be restless- request permission to allow him to walk around the ship. Over," Dr. Tsang said.

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

Capt. Lutra thought about the protocol for a situation like this until he noticed an unusual energy signature from the engine room. "Request granted. Deathwind is to determine cause of unusual energy spike. in the engine room A squad is already en route. Capt. Lutra out."

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

Dr. Tsang typed in his code and swiped his key card to release Deathwind.

"Deathwind, there is an unusual energy spike in the engine room. Use any means possible to rectify the energy spike," he ordered.

Dr Landon and aisha climbed in the back " We're set' aisha said " Lets head out to the site!"

Noname · **Reply #147 on:** February 02, 2010, 10:58:29 PM

Corporal Stern was still with the van, ready to move at a moment's notice. He hated guard duty. For a moment, he actually wished that someone would try to take the van. It would certainly kill the boredom.

Serris · **Reply #148 on:** February 03, 2010, 12:38:43 AM

"Uh, we've got an empty seat," Zachary said, climbing into the front passenger seat.

"Cpl. Stern," Alfred said, getting out of the truck.

He then went over to the van and found Cpl. Stern at the ready.

"Cpl., we're taking my truck," Alfred said.

He then returned to the truck.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #149 on:** February 03, 2010, 09:43:58 PM

Ariol turned and pressed for the intercom. "Belay that order," he spoke. "The experiment is to remain where it is..." He faced the captain. "The higher-ups at Dragonstorm clearly stated that no more experiments will be used for matters like these. Just get another squad down there and I'll send some assassins... Now keep to the course. We'll be out of this 'fog' sooner than you think..."

----------

Meanwhile, Deathwind glared at the scientist. It was hard to tell if he was smirking. "This 'energy spike' of yours is nothing less than an experiment from my old home... They have come yet again, and THIS time I will finish what your predecessors failed to accomplish..."

----------

The team hurried away from the drive shaft room as fast as possible. The bomb was more than enough to blast the propellers clean off the ship, and perhaps a room or two nearby...

Serris · **Reply #150 on:** February 04, 2010, 10:54:50 PM

Dr. Tsang listened to the transmission. "Roger that," he said. He then turned to Deathwind. "The Capt. wants you to stay here. But, I won't tell him if you go hunting for them," he added

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

Capt. Lutra radioed another squad down to the engine room. "Beta Squad to engine room to reinforce Theta Squad," he said.

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

Theta Squad had routed around the engine room and in the process they caught sight of the saboteurs.

A Human soldier fired off a burst at the fleeing saboteurs.

"Get them!" Theta leader ordered.

His men then gave chase.

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

Beta Leader, who had been relaxing in the lounge when the alert came through, quickly grabbed her rifle and rallied her men.

"Move it!" she barked.

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

"Aisha, should we wait for Cpl. Stern or get moving?" Alfred asked.

Spc. Crota stuck his head through the back window. "Get moving! We don't have all night!" he snapped.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #151 on:** February 04, 2010, 11:25:54 PM

Deathwind pushed past the scientist as he walked out of his cell. His clear wings gave a low disturbing hum as he stretches himself for the slaughter...

----------

Ariol pulled out his phone and dialed in a set of numbers...

----------

Outside on the deck, two hitmen each gets a beeper call from their commander and quickly moved below...

----------

The soldier's burst of fire was received by a volley of machine gun fire from five of the team towards the pursuers, along with an occasional shot from Erin's sniper rifle. The team reached another hatch door and poured through, giving cover fire as they do so.

Tank grabbed the remote and pressed the switch...

Serris · **Reply #152 on:** February 05, 2010, 01:21:50 PM

The explosion ripped through the prop shaft, severing the props and completely crippling the ship. The engines remained intact though.

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

Capt. Lutra picked himself off the deck. He then radioed for a tug to pull the boat to open water.

"Ariol, this is Capt. Lutra, the props have been destroyed. I have arranged for to be towed into a friendly shipyard by Oregon," he said into his portable radio.

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

Two of Theta squad fell to the gun fire but they continued chasing the group.

As they passed by the generator room, Beta Squad joined them.

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

Alfred looked at the clock in the truck. It read, 1:35 AM.

"All right, we're giving Cpl. Stern 5 minutes to arrive or we're rolling without him," Alfred said.

Nick22 · **Reply #153 on:** February 05, 2010, 03:16:32 PM

we'll wait a few more minutesm then if he is not here.. then we head off' Aisha rplied " time is not our friend here..'

Noname · **Reply #154 on:** February 05, 2010, 06:14:03 PM

(OOC: Hold your horses! Time is not my friend in real life either.)

Stern showed up no sooner than they had said that they would leave without him in five minutes. "Did I miss anything?" he asked the rest.

Serris · **Reply #155 on:** February 05, 2010, 08:51:34 PM

"We nearly left without you," Pholidus (Spc. Crota) said.

"Okay, let's roll!" Bosa (Alfred) said. He started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot. He then turned to Aisha. "Sandy, I'll need you to serve as my navigator," he said,

"Aaron, I hope you're armed," Krebs (Zachary) said.

"There's a pistol in the glove box."

Zachary opened the glove box and true to his words, a loaded 9 mm pistol was tucked into the glove box.

As he did headed down the road to the outskirts of Culeston, a car from the grocery store across the street headed into the hotel's parking lot.

Nick22 · **Reply #156 on:** February 05, 2010, 08:54:48 PM

Al.right ' Sandy' said giving a glance a map she found in the glove compartment " This camp is a good thirty-forty-five minutes away... just go down this road for awhile..

Serris · **Reply #157 on:** February 06, 2010, 01:52:49 AM

Two men emerged from the two cars in the hotel's parking lot. They then entered the hotel.

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

Alfred continued down the road.

Nick22 · **Reply #158 on:** February 06, 2010, 02:23:07 AM

after about 15 minutes ' sandy motioned for him to turn left.. " wait a couple miles then go right, another 20 minutes and its a straight shot to the camp...

Serris · **Reply #159 on:** February 06, 2010, 03:26:15 AM

"Got it," Bosa (Alfred) replied.

"So Aaron, what exactly do you have in this truck that'll help us pass as loggers?" Krebs (Zachary) asked.

"There is a chainsaw in the locker in the bed of the truck. There are also several saws, hardhats and assorted hand tools in the storage compartments in the back of the truck as well."

"What about the two Pit Vipers?"

"Right now, they're posing as cables. Later' we're going to have them pose as guards,"

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

The men were now on the same floor that Dr. Zanasiu and his friends were staying in.

One of the men used a hacked key card to open a door. Since he was a slender Coral Snake, he was able to slip in despite the fact that the door had a security chain.

He then looked around for his target, Dr. Zanasiu. But he was thwarted when someone place the muzzle of a gun to his head.

Suddenly, the lights in the room turned on and revealed the other two members of Cobalt Squad and PFC. Reynolds.

The soldier holding the Coral Snake at gunpoint was somewhat stocky Mongoose. The other soldier was an Asian woman. She had her pistol trained on the Coral Snake.

PFC. Reynolds, also had a pistol trained on the Coral Snake.

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

The other man, a massive Bison, used the same hacked keycard to enter Dr. Zanasiu's room. Dr. Zanasiu had placed the security chain but the Bison simply tore it from the wall.

Neville was sleeping when the Bison broke in but he soon awoke. Almost immediately, he turned the lights on and dashed for the telephone to dial 911.

The Bison wrenched the phone from Neville's grasp and threw him into a wall. While Neville was dazed, the Bison wrapped Dr. Zanasiu up in the blankets and tried to get out of the door.

Neville opened the dresser and found his pistol. He took aim at the Bison and shot him in the back twice. The Bison staggered and continued out the door but Neville pursued him, despite the amount of pain he was in, and shot him dead in the hallways.

Not surprisingly, none of the guests opened their doors.

Dr. Zanasiu wriggled out from the blankets. "Now I know why you got your position," he deadpanned.

Neville said nothing but staggered back to the room.

Dr. Zanasiu dialed 911 from a nearby pay phone.
