good thinking Sandy said as Alfred turned right ' at this speed we should get there around four o'clock give or take a few minutes...

Police swarmed the the Redwood Inn parking lot. Sirens blared throughout the parking lot as they began piecing together what happened.

Several officers led the Coral Snake out of the hotel. The Coral Snake had his mouth taped shut and was handcuffed as they carried him into a police car. An ambulance took away the dead Bison.

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

"So exactly what are we going to try to look for?" Bosa (Alfred) asked.

"Anything that looks out of place in a logging camp," Krebs (Zachary) replied.

it would likely be well-hidden so we'll have ti be very through in our search..' sandy replied ' and lets just hope this is a front, because if not, we're going to be in big trouble..'

The truck then continued down the lonely dirt road until it reached the campsite. Bosa (Alfred) parked the truck behind a large tree off the road.

Bosa (Alfred) and Krebs (Zachary) got out of the truck and got the "props". Krebs (Zachary) grabbed an ax and Bosa (Alfred) grabbed a chainsaw. Bosa (Alfred) also had a pistol tucked into his pocket.

Pholidus (Spc. Crota) and Miardian (Sgt. Masters) slithered out of the truck's bed. They closed their eyes and scanned for any signs of life with their infrared sense.

"You're all clear," Miardian (Sgt. Masters) said.

Bosa (Alfred) then led his group farther down the road.

There, they encountered a logging camp that was seemingly deserted.

"Okay," Bosa (Alfred) whispered, "start looking for stuff."

Sandy got out of the truck dressed in her "loggers" outfit complete with nametag "Alright everyone lets start the search.." She sais walked by a truck loaded with timber logs..

"I'll search to the north" Stern told the rest. The corporal was a silent type, yet very smart. The rugged woodlands proved to be no challenge for one such as him to search through, even if it wasn't his preferred sort of task.

Serris · **Reply #166 on:** February 08, 2010, 07:57:24 PM

The two Pit Vipers hid by the truck, looking for interlopers.

Krebs (Zachary) started headed to the east. There, he found a bunch of logging equipment such as bulldozers and trucks. He then began examining everything.

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

Bosa (Alfred) found a darkened trailer. He tried the door and found it was locked. He started up his chainsaw only to discover that it had no fuel. He placed the chainsaw aside and smashed the window with his pistol. He then reached through the broken window, unlocked the door and entered.

The Canadian Government was not pleased.

Not only had 4 of their armoured corps and one of their best sergeants been lost in 'mysterious' circumstances, but they had nearly lost a very precious next generation armament due to the lack of proper security within American bases.

Sgt. Clyco had returned with the Pisces Gun and an interesting first hand story of firefights and illegal experiements within an installation that the US Air Force had bombed into oblivion shortly thereafter.

Perhaps most importantly, the country's top brass did not like how the Americans were trying to push the matter under the rug as strictly internal. Within a month a task force of it's own had been formed within Canada to observe and investigate Dragonstorm activities, and Clyco having no further bodyguard obligations was assigned to the group.

Regardless of how the Americans handled things on their side of the border, rest assured the Dragonstorm terrorists would find no base on Canadian soil.

Krebs (Zachary) smashed the window on a logging truck with his ax. There, he found a notebook on the passenger seat. He picked it up and turned around to leave only to find himself staring into the barrel of a 12 gauge shotgun. The truck's interior light let him see his attacker, a massive Asian Elephant wearing jeans and a flannel shirt.

"Put my stuff back, terrorist," the Elephant said coldly.

"Krebs" did as he was told and raised his hands.

"I can explain," Krebs (Zachary) said.

"What? I know your type, the ecoterrorist who trashes logging equipment. We weren't kidding when we said that 'if the police don't deal with you; we will'."

"I can-" The muzzle of the shotgun was thrust hard into "Krebs's" gut, making him stagger backwards.

"Lay down."

Krebs (Zachary) did as he was told.

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

Bosa (Alfred) was looking through all the rooms in the small trailer. He noticed a large binder sitting on a table in what seemed to be the office. He entered the office. He did not notice three bundles of cable in the hallway.

He then picked up the binder and noticed that his only way out was blocked by a Human armed with a knife.

Bosa (Alfred) reached for his pistol but was forced to quickly use the binder as a shield to avoid getting stabbed.

He then twisted the notebook, wrenching the knife away.

The man then reached behind him for what Bosa (Alfred) assumed was another weapon. Immediately, he seized the man and hurled him through the closed window of the office.

Bosa (Alfred) then bolted from the office only to see many irate loggers, all armed with everything from axes, to shovels to shotguns, gathered at the camp.

Almost immediately, he was dragged to the ground by a large Python. Two Black Mambas joined in and soon, Alfred was on the ground and held at fangpoint by the two Black Mambas.

He cursed as he realized that the "cables" he saw were really snakes.

"What were you trying to do?" the first Mamba demanded.

"Look, we're trying to get information to-,"

"To destroy our livelihood and our equipment!" the second Mamba replied.

"No, it's not that,"

"Liar! We know it's you [censored] ecoterrorists who [censored] up our camp a few weeks ago. And we figured you'd be back. We're turning you over to the cops this time but next time we'll just probably just carry out the sentence ourselves."
------------------------------

"See anything Sarge?" Spc. Crota asked.

Sgt, Masters closed his eyes. He softly swore as several figures appeared in the camp. "Yes, it looks like the group got into an ambush or something," he said,

(OOC: I do hope that this is a good introduction post for Aimee)

In the nearby forrest, footsteps were heard, breathing, running. She ran through the forrest, having been running for quite some time before she slowed down to catch her breath.

She was a fox, she looked about 19 years of age as well, however, on her arms, she instead, had cybernetic arms. She wore a pair of shorts and a shirt for the time being, not wearing footwear at the moment, as she had no time to put any on.

Her name was Aimee. She came to a halt as she placed a paw to a nearby tree as she was breathing heavily, glancing around as well before brushing her headfur from her face "They're.....not following....good...." she said in between breaths of air.

"We'll be lucky if we made it to Oregon without sinking," Ariol replied. "Radio for a convoy to meet us there. These bastards must be the same ones from Pelvanida!"

----------

Some of the heroes lost their footing from the explosion, but quickly got up and kept running, firing back at their pursuers as they moved towards another hatch. Ice turned and let out a cold breath of air and used the condensation to cover the floor with ice...

----------

The two assassins headed down to the lower decks on the other side of the soldiers...

Serris · **Reply #171 on:** February 09, 2010, 11:25:36 PM

Capt. Lutra activated the pumps to keep the ship afloat. Luckily he was now in somewhat open water so he deployed the ship's weapons.

He then radioed for a convoy to meet enroute.

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

Theta and Beta squad had been slowed down significantly by the ice but their studded boots, designed for maximum traction on slippery decks allowed them to keep their foot as long as they did not run.

They continued chasing and occasionally shooting at the saboteurs.

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

Zachary was marched at gunpoint to the center of the camp and shoved to the ground.

Alfred was dragged to the center of the camp by the three snakes.

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

A group of three loggers, two armed with shotguns and one armed with an ax found Aisha in the motor pool.

"You, come out with your hands up!" the first logger shouted.

Nick22 · **Reply #172 on:** February 09, 2010, 11:32:38 PM

Aisha did as she was instructed , showing absultely no resistance she walked calmly to the middle to the camp, where she was told to sit down and keep her hands visible at all times " So this was a legit lofgging camp.. 're in deep (consored) now" Shecsaid under her breath to herself..

MrDrake · **Reply #173 on:** February 09, 2010, 11:33:41 PM

The fox heard voices in the distance and decided to slowly move through the forrest in order to get closer to the voices.

She glanced down to her feet before looking around a little bit as well, doing her best to remain quiet as she came across what seemed to be a logging camp, guards were around by the looks of things as she stood on the edge of the forrest, observing the area, not even sue if she should actually approach it or not.

She took another look at her cybernetic arms and gave off a sigh before looking back over to the camp once more before she shook her head slightly and stepped out into the open as if she were to approach the camp, mainly to see if they could give her any directions on where she was now.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #174 on:** February 09, 2010, 11:41:16 PM

They jumped through the hatch, and Vic saw the two squads slowed down on the ice. He turned and looked to Snow, who caught exactly what he was think and sent a massive wave of fire down the hall before they closed and sealed the hatch...

Serris · **Reply #175 on:** February 10, 2010, 12:04:59 AM

"Aisha, I think I made it worse," Alfred said.

"What did you do?" Zachary asked.

"Shut up and wait for the police," the Asian Elephant said coldly.

Zachary and Alfred grew silent.

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

Three of the perimeter loggers, each armed with shotguns spotted Aimee.

One of them raised his shotgun but the other ordered him to lower it. The logger did as he was told.

"Hello, are you lost?" one of the loggers, a lean but muscular female Hyena asked.

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

Sgt. Masters and Spc. Crota mulled over the situation.

"Can't be Dragonstorm personnel," Sgt. Masters said.

"Never know," Spc. Crota replied.

"From what Dr. Zanasiu said of them, they shoot first ask questions later."

Spc. Crota nodded. "I'll trust your judgment, Sarge," he said.

The two then drew their pistols and slithered towards the encampment.

There, they were stopped by four rifle toting loggers.

"Drop your weapons," the first logger, a massive Rhino demanded.

"We are military personnel," Sgt. Masters said, flashing his ID.

Spc. Crota showed his ID as well.

The loggers pointed their rifles away from the Pit Vipers. "In that case, we'll turn over the terrorists we caught over to you,"

They then led the Pit Vipers to the center of the camp where Aisha, Zachary and Alfred were being held at gunpoint.

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

The blast of fire incinerated the guards pursuing them and softened the heavy steel bulkheads.

However the wave of heat, triggered the ship's automatic CO2 fire extinguishing system.

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

Capt. Lutra swore as the fire suppression system in the rear hold of the ship went off. He noticed that the engines were still getting enough oxygen thanks to the external intakes.

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

Dr. Zanasiu, Dr. Bailey and Neville made their way to Dr. Landon's room.

Dr. Bailey knocked on the door.

MrDrake · **Reply #176 on:** February 10, 2010, 12:13:30 AM

"Yes, I am actually" Aimee spoke up "I actually have no idea on where I am, all I know is that I'm in a forrest area"

She glanced around slightly before speaking again "And if this is one these....logging camps, I am getting curious, which I probabally shouldn't, but why carry guns around?" she asked with a fold of her arms as well.

Nick22 · **Reply #177 on:** February 10, 2010, 12:17:41 AM

Dr landon opened the door " Oh crap I was supposed to be going with the group.. Geez I slept in.. darn you Landon.. So whats the latest gentlemen? He said holding the door open for them..
_
I can see that Alfred, but lets just try and keep our cool..' Aisha said softly..

Serris · **Reply #178 on:** February 10, 2010, 01:25:32 AM

"You are currently in the base camp of Nemus Forestry," the first logger said.

"As for why we're armed, we've been attacked by ecoterrorists before. So we decided to be armed in case they came back for us," the second logger added.

"And this time, we caught them and we're turning them over to the police. How's that for a headline, 'Nemus Forestry Workers Capture Wanted Terrorists'?"

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

Dr. Zanasiu, Dr. Bailey and Neville entered the room.

"Dr. Landon, James was the subject of an attempted kidnapping," Neville said. He then winced from the sore back he got when the Bison hurled him into the wall. "In any case, the police were called and they dealt with the kidnapper and his accomplice,"

"Accomplice?" Dr. Bailey asked.

"Cobalt Squad caught a Coral Snake breaking into their room."

Neville then held up his pistol. "In any case, I've got my pistol ready," he said.

"Dr. Landon, could you guard Bailey?" Dr. Zanasiu asked. "Neville and I are going to get our belongings. We'll need to spend the night in your room."

MrDrake · **Reply #179 on:** February 10, 2010, 01:30:14 AM

"Nemus Forrestry?" the fox asked back with a bit of an arched eyebrow as she kept her arms folded still "What state anyway? Am I still in the state of Oregon?"

"But eccoterrorists, sounds highly unlikely, I mean, I'm sure, from what I've heard, eccoterrorists don't use guns, so really, wouldn't you just be shooting at an unarmed person? Seems rather unfair if you ask me" she added on, glancing to the camp once more, stepping forward a little more, as if she was trying to get a look inside as well.
