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

Zachary lowered his voice. "We are searching for clues to the other labs of Dragonstorm," he whispered. He then pulled two pictures of Dr. Rudyard Shelton and Dr. Yuri Kerzach from his wallet. "We're also looking for these two. Ever since we left Pelvanida, we haven't seen them since," he added.

Aimee looked closely at the pictures before shaking her head slightly "Sorry, I don't know them, however, if I do see them around, I'll be sure to tell you, as for the Dragonstorm stuff, well, I do have an idea on something, but I'm not really at liberty to say" she told him, not mentioning her plan still, keeping it mainly to herself.

"However, if I do find out anything on the Dragonstorm stuff, I'll be sure to tell you as well, they sound dangerous enough as it is, even if the name isn't all that terrifying or whatever you call it" Aimee added in as she glanced to everyone else "But first, I would still like to get some better clothes before anything else really happens"

"Understood," Zachary replied.

"We'll need to take the van as Alfred and Neville took the truck," Dr. Zanasiu said, looking out the window and spotting Alfred pulling out of the parking lot.

"And, you mind if I also use a computer as well, if they have them at the mall? As I've got a name along with the facility" Aimee spoke up next, folding her arms as well, glancing over at the computers in th elobby area "Only because, well....let's just say I didn't find what I wanted on the computers here....."

"Sure," Dr. Zanasiu replied.

Several minutes later, Alfred and Neville returned.

"Okay, so let's say we head to the mall?" Alfred said.

"We're going to explore town a bit," Cobalt Leader said.

"Not to mention, I need to do my laundry," Spc. Crota replied.

"Okay then, see you later!" Dr. Zanasiu said, as Cobalt Leader, Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters returned to their room.

"So which car?" Alfred asked.

"The van,"

Dr. Zanasiu got up from the table and headed out to the parking lot.

"Yeah, mall first for me, then go from there really for me" Aimee shrugged a bit as she moved and followed Dr. Zanasiu out to the parking lot "But I have to say something too, I know it's not in a town, but more in a city....well, I believe so anyway, but I need a computer, just to make sure.....just.....trust me on this one"

Eron quickly strapped on an oxygen tank & rebreather system for the underwater journey, while Mallard had no need of such equipment.  They braced themselves before opening the hatch, the seawater gushing into the stairwell.  The duck and the spider monkey pushed their way through, and Tank quickly had the door shut again.

From above, one of the hitmen looked over to see the surge of water.  "They're trying to exit through the flooded hall..."  He was silenced as Erin's shot from an anti-tank rifle blasted through a corner of ship steel and sent shrapnel into his head.  He dropped dead where he stood...

----------

Ariol quickly made his way to the holding room where the Dragonstorm experiments where kept, to find Deathwind's cell empty...

The gunshot and the sound of rushing water reached the ears of Rho Squad but they held their fire and waited until they could get a clear shot at the intruders.

Rho Leader gestured for the other half of the squad to watch their backs.

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

Dr. Zanasiu got into the driver's seat.

Alfred, Neville and Zachary climbed into the back of the van.

Aimee climbed into the back of the truck as well, however, she just remained quiet at the moment, sitting down where she was, her arms resting on her legs.

Ariol looked around at the scientists and the guards.  "Who let Deathwind out?"

----------

As one of the remaining assassins removed their dead comrade's weapons and pushed him over the edge of the stairwell to the flooded bottom, the others passed grenades to each other as they prepared to toss them...

----------

Mallard and Eron swam through the flooded halls past the dead soldiers as they navigate themselves back to the engine room...

"I don't know," a Lemur guard replied.

"Dr. Tsang might know," a Human scientist said. She looked around. "Hey, where is he?"

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

Dr. Tsang, armed with a Remington 870 shotgun, was making his way down to the engine room. Two of his assistants, both armed with M4 carbines, followed him.

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

Dr. Zanasiu started up the truck and drove out of the parking lot and headed to Culeston Mall, which was on the outskirts.

"So, Aisha, how long should we spend there?" Alfred asked.

"I'd say we can probably eat lunch there and walk around until closing time. Then we can eat dinner and plan our next move," Zachary replied.

"Which is to find that armored truck and destroy it."

"One problem guys, we have no explosives and it's probably in a remote place and heavily guarded to boot."

"That will be enough time for me to get some clothes as well as do some....other things I plan on doing there" Aimee soon spoke up as she leaned back, glancing over to the ones who were driving.

She paused for a second, glancing back at her arms, then back to those who were driving "But don't worry, I myself, I wont be long....well.....I shouldn't do anyway, just, you mind if I do borrow some money for myself to do what else I need to do after getting clothes that is?"

"Not at all," Alfred said, handing $70 to Aimee.

Dr. Zanasiu, Alfred and Zachary disembarked from the van and headed into the mall. The mall was, not surprisingly, packed with people.

"So anybody want to eat lunch yet?" Alfred asked.

"Go on ahead, I'll get some new clothes," Dr. Zanasiu said.

Aimee shook her head "No, I'll be okay for now" she told them, granted, she was hungry, but she had other things she needed to worry about at the moment as she entered the mall, glancing around at how many people there were, some glancing at her, most notably, at her arms, to which she grumbled a little bit to herself.

"I'll be doing a few....other things too" she decided to tell everyone else as she soon, had walked off away from the group, the first place she had headed to was the internet cafe, now having a name to go by.

She sat down upon a computer and begun to search around with what she had to go by, at first, finding nothing of use, to which she grumbled a little more and continued to search still, that is, until she came across one page in particular, it was not the location of the Trinity Facility, but a news article online to which Kain was featured in, glancing at the date of it, taken a few days before she had escaped from the lab herself.

"Hmm, perhaps....yeah, this newspaper company could have the location of the lab with them....well, it is possible" Aimee muttered to herself as she grabbed some paper nearby as well as a pen, borrowing it from someone and wrote down a few things upon in, mostly all just notes on where the newspaper company was, what she had found, that it was possible that it was linked to Kain and the Trinity Facility.

Zachary and Dr. Zanasiu were shopping at an athletics store.

Dr. Zanasiu tried on a pair of work boots but they hurt his feet. He put them back and looked around for some other shoes.

Zachary was at the counter, trading in his bag of old horseshoes. He got a total of $25 dollars for them. He then went over to equine shoeing section and looked at the horseshoes present.  the farrier, a grizzled looking Appaloosa was assisting a Shire horse, who appeared to be a logger, in choosing the proper shoes.

Soon enough, Aimee was finished, stuffing the piece of paper into her pockets, logging off the computer and walking off to find a clothing store next, glancing at the different stores before she had come across one, walking inside it and started to look through the different clothes, all were within her price range as well.

It didn't take her long to find a few clothes, trying them on as well before paying for them, coming to around $40 worth.  She took the piece of the paper out of her old short pockets and put them into the pocket of her new pants.  She now was wearing a pair of pants, a shirt, and a jacket over top as well as she walked out of the shop, shoving her old clothes in a nearby rubbish bin too.
