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

"I'm fine," Dr. Bailey replied.

"Cobalt Leader and the rest of the group are looking for the vehicle our snipers came in. We will probably have to take their vehicle," the Mongoose Cobalt soldier said.

"Speaking of that, shouldn't we call the police and let them know about the assassins we shot?"

"Good point but do you really want to spend several hours in questioning? I sure as hell don't!"

Alfred said Aisha and Dr. Landon heading towards him. He mimed drawing a pistol out of its holster and mouthed the words, "Draw your guns!"

"We know you are in there! Come out slowly and with your hands up!" Cobalt Leader said.

Alfred nodded. He gestured to the van and mimed someone coming out but then shook his head.

"You have until the count of ten to surrender!" Cobalt Leader said, clearly losing his patience. "One! Two!"

(OOC: Remember, Trinity changed clothes along with putting a wig on as well....so no one knows it's her XD)

Trinity pulled up to the hotel and got out of her car.  She looked at the hotel for a moment before walking over to reception.

"Welcome, I take it you're after a room here?" the clerk asked her.

Trinity gave off a nod back "But of course" she pulled out some money and handed it over to the clerk to which her turned and searched for a key for her.  Trinity borrowed the time to see who was in what room via the sign in book.  She only took a glance through it before recieving her key to her room "Thank you" was all she said as she walked back to her car and pulled out a suitcase before heading towards her room.

She unlocked the door and headed inside, opening up the suitcase to reveal her own laptop within it as it started up.  She loaded something into the laptop before she pulled out her phone and dialed a number upon it "So, who am I looking for?" she asked and got a response "I see, well, perhaps I can give our little ghost friend a little spook" she smirked as she hung up.

***

Shakila groaned as she woke up, having realized she had fallen asleep at her laptop, yawing as she looked to it, but noticed that somethign was wrong with it, reading something that started to appear on the screen "Do you think you could get away with stealing data that is not yours?" she read it out loud "I'm afraid that you computer will be no more.....love....Trinity?" and that's when it went blank, the blue screen appeared, yet, it kept the message available on it "No, not good, not good....." she muttered as she stood up.

She left her room and headed back down to the other room she was in much earlier on and knocked on the door "I have a problem, the data you wanted has been lost....."

Sgt. Masters opened the door and found Shakila outside. He ushered her into the room and closed the door behind her. He quickly woke up Hans, Werner, Neville and Spc. Crota.

"What is it Sarge?" Spc. Crota said, uncoiling himself with a yawn and slithering up to Sgt. Masters.

"We lost the data," Sgt. Masters said.

Spc. Crota swore. "Do you think you can recover it?" he asked.

"Do you know how it happened?" Neville asked.

"I'm not sure, I woke up and a message appeared upon screen saying 'Do you think you could get away with stealing data that is not yours?  I'm afraid that your computer will be no more.....love....Trinity" Shakila told the group "My best guess is that someone sent a custom made virus onto my computer to destroy the data....someone doesn't want us knowing things...."

***

Trinity gave off a chuckle as she pulled out the phone and spoke into it "It's done, your little internet ghost has been taken care of" she spoke into the phone before nodding into the phone "Very well then" she then hung up, her next plan at the moment was unknown for the time being as she closed her laptop and closed the suitcase it remained in before walking out of her room for the time being, heading back down to the lobby area.

"I'm pretty sure there's nobody in the van,"  said a voice behind them. "You can shoot it if you like, though. I know you're all a big fan of that."

A lone figure stood in the dark, hands raised. "Would it help to know I owe one of you a beer?"

"Wait, Shelton?" Dr. Zanasiu said

Cobalt Leader looked around and noticed  a figure behind them. He kept his pistol ready. "Please move forward and keep your hands visible!" he ordered, training his pistol on the figure.

"Cobalt! I think that may be Shelton," Zachary said.

"Never can be too careful," Alfred said, keeping his stolen rifle at the ready.

Cobalt Leader clicked his safety.

"Keep your safety on, Jarhead!" snapped the figure. "I didn't warn you about the sublevel autoturrets just to bite your trigger-happy bullet the next time we meet!"

Cobalt Leader lowered his pistol. "Yeah, that's Shelton alright."

Shelton clicked a remote, and the car's lights came on, revealing his face. He looked different. His hair went down to his shoulders, he wore a goatee, and there were scars across his face. He was almost unrecognizable, but when he stepped forward he was smiling.

"I haven't seen any of you in so long!" He threw his arms around James. "What in God's name kept you for two months?"

"Does the name Trinity actually ring any bells or anythign like that? Or should we wait to ask the others if they know of a Trinity?" Shakila decided to ask the group.

***

Aimee looked over to Shelton, not knowing who he actually was, clenching her fists "Are you with the attackers?" she decided to ask him, just to be on the safe side anyway.

***

Trinity entered the hotel lobby and had a look around before walking over to the empty receptionst's desk, starting to have a look through the sign in book to see who was staying at the hotel, stopping upon a page "Hello....Subject 17's here...." she smirked to herself rather lightly, taking note at what room she was staying in "And along with your friend Thomas Stern....how rather interesting...." and looked at what other names were available to her as well before grabbing the page and ripping it out of the book, folding it up and placing it down the front of her dress before pulling out her phone and dialing a number again, walking over and sitting down as she waited for an answer.

"Yes, that's right, Subject 17 is at the hotel, what do you propse I do?" she asked into the phone before nodding into the phone "Understood...." she then hung up with a smirk upon her face, getting up and walking back to her room to grab the suitcase, picking it up before walking over to Aimee's room that was within the sign in page.

She reached into her hair and pulled out a clip and begun to pick the lock upon the door, gaining entrance as she walked in, putting the suitcase down upon the table, opening it up to access her laptop once again, keeping the layout of the desktop simple, typing some comands into it before closing it as well as the suitcase and walking out of the room, closing the door behind her and heading off back to he room for the time being.

"Call me Simpson," he said, "Roger Simpson. That's what I've been going by. Kerzach's alive too, and we've been in all sorts of trouble since you were gone. But you finally showed up!" He threw his arms around Aisha next. "Where have you all been?"

"Back at base, probably asleep." Shelton said, finally straightening up.

He turned to Aimee. "Hello to you too." He looked back at the group. "Where did the newcomers come from? Where's Werner? Is there anybody else still with you?"

Spc. Crota shook his head. "Never heard of the name," he said yawning and revealing his venomous fangs.

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

"Aimee, he's our ally and friend," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"Yeah, we really need to get back to the hotel before the group calls 911 to report a missing person," Dr. Bailey said.

"All right then, let's roll," Alfred said, getting into the driver's seat.

"You know what, salvage anything of use from our wrecked van before we get moving," Zachary said.

Cobalt Leader went back to the wrecked van. "Cpl. Stern, everyone, we're leaving!"

"Cobalt Squad, salvage the van!" he ordered

In a few minutes, the group returned with the coins in the ashtray and the maps in the glovebox.

"Ready to roll?" Alfred asked.

"Yes," Cobalt Leader said, placing the goods in the passenger compartment.

Dr. Zanasiu, Dr. Bailey, Zachary, Cobalt Leader and the two Cobalt soldiers climbed into the passenger compartment.

Alfred then started the van's engine.

(OOC - F-22 has not been around for a while so I have no idea what to do.)

Aimee followed suit, getting into the van also, sitting down in an available place as she took out the DVD from her pocket and looked at it "Good idea, I can see what's on this disk as well...." she muttered more to herself.

***

Shakila looked to Spc. Crota and sighed "Well, that's of no help then...." she grumbled with a fold of her arms as well "So really, I have no idea on what to do anymore, my computer is dead because of a virus and we have no information anymore, the information I had was left on the flash drive and that was still in my computer when it crashed...."

"One second," said Shelton. "I have to grab something."

He faded back into the darkness. About ten minutes passed.

"Shelton?" called the Mongoose.

Shelton came running back. "Okay, we can go!" He hopped back into the trunk of the van.

"Aimee, Cobalt Squad, Cpl. Stern, Aisha, Dr. Landon, Zachary, Dr. Zanasiu, Dr. Bailey, are we all present?" Alfred said.

"Cobalt Squad accounted for," Cobalt Leader said.

"I'm here and so is Zach," Dr. Zanasiu said.

"I'm here," Dr. Bailey said before going back to sleep.
