Darwin's Soldiers: Disruptive Selection

Hailey however, had no answer for that as she just looked at him still. It was in fact, something Trinity had not told her as she tilted her head to the side slightly in the process as fire formed on her right hand, as if she was bored at the moment, as she looked at the fire on her hand.

Shelton could see there was no way for him to help Hailey. "I guess I won't be getting anything from you," he said, sounding disappointed. "If you ever feel more interested in talking, feel free to call me." He took out the pencil he'd forgotten to return to Hans and wrote down the frequency to his radio-flashlight on an old receipt, the receipt to the hotel the team had stayed at last night. He handed it to her, and made to go.

Hailey looked at the piece of paper that was handed to her, holding it in her left hand that had not been engulfed in flame before turning and walking back to where Trinity was.

Trinity looked at what Hailey had in her hand and took the piece of paper, glancing at it for a moment, looking at the frequency number and only gave off a chuckle as she scrunched up the piece of paper and threw it aside into the rubbish bin.

Cale smiled.
"Adelwulf. It's been too long, hasn't it. I heard them mention they were bringing a familiar face to this base."
He said, half-jokingly...

Shelton continued towards the registration office. There was a large line of people from the convoy waiting to be registered and go to bed. Shelton groaned loudly and took his place in line.

"Simpson? Was that you?"

O'Neill appeared from the front of the line, waving him to the front of the line.

"What's going on?" asked Shelton, watching as he cut everyone in line.

"You'll find out soon," replied O'Neill, leading him into Ms. Race's office.

(OCC: It's Ms Race, not Dr Race)

The assistant knocked on the door before entering. "Ms Race? Dr O'Neill and Dr Simpson are here to see you."

"Send them in..." Ms Race replied...

----------

Aydin had nearly pushed the communications officer off his chair, and Fox had enough. He slammed both hands on Aydin's shoulders and ripped him from the control panel, to slam him against the wall. The Marines again drew their guns...

Through the window, the chopper's lights could be seen as it came for a landing...

----------

The Chinook soon reaches the landing pad and touches down, a medical squad is standing by. The ramp opens again, and Crimson Squad steps out...

----------

Breathtaker was moved into the undergound lab, passing by rooms where prisoners become test rats, until he reached a clear-glass holding cell and was put in...

O'Neill led Shelton into the room. "Ma'am, this is Roger Simpson, the leader of the men who just arrived in the convoy," O'Neill introduced. "He and the other newcomers will need to be registered into the Base's databanks. Would and your assistants be capable of handling that right now, or should I bring you extra temporary assistants?"

Serris · **Reply #2827 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:24:17 AM

(OOC - What species is Fox?)

Aedulwulf nodded. "I would have helped James if I could but I was in stasis. In fact, I am surprised that the sudden powering down of the cryogenic stasis system did not kill me," he said.

He then looked into the night sky. "But how will we ever find them?" he asked.

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

Dr. Kerzach was still in the registration line. He was sipping some insipid coffee in an attempt to stay awake.

"Gallo! Have you destroyed all confidential data?" Montgomery demanded.

Dr. Kerzach yawned. "Yes," he replied sleepily. It was a lie; he had stolen some data and stashed it in a place that Dr. Zanasiu and his team were sure to have looked.

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

Cpl. Stern had been awakened by the scuffle in the radio room. He burst into the room just as some Marines were busy restraining Aydin.

"Aydin, just what the f--- do you think you are doing!?" he demanded.

"Aimee just bailed from the chopper!" he shouted as he was being restrained.

"Assaulting the communications officer will not accomplish anything! Now I suggest you leave this room and return to the mess hall."

Cpl. Stern rarely, if ever swore, but Adyin's increasingly erratic behavior was starting to pose problems; the least of which was the Marines no longer supporting them.

MrDrake · **Reply #2828 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:32:38 AM

Aimee continued to grumble along as she kept on walking, getting rather close to the mountain range that was around and started to make her way up a dirt path. She stopped to look to the sky for a second before continuing to make her way onwards still. One good thing was that the sun had not risen yet and it was still night, yet, she wasn't going to stop anytime soon either.

***

Meanwhile, Subject 19 was about to attack the guard, yet, she seemed to stop for a second and glanced aroudn the room....it was full of traps. She said nothing of the likes and instead, jumped backwards, right out of the window before flying through another window on the floor bellow.

She was up to something, and the guard was about to find out what it was as seconds later, through the floor bellow the floor the guard was on, a fridge was thrown in order to trigger a few of the traps that the guard had laid down before.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #2829 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:35:05 AM

Aydin glared at Stern. Normally, he agreed with everything his old friend did, but right now he couldn't care about anything but getting to that copter and finding out what happened to Aimee.

"I don't wish to go to the mess hall; I'm not hungry. I want to talk to the personnel in that copter, and learn exactly what caused Aimee to jump from the chopper. Hopefully it wasn't one of their negligence..."

(OOC: Is the Chinook the copter rescuing Azreal and the girls?)

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #2830 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:36:46 AM

(OCC: He's a Gray Fox. No, a highway patrol chopper is looking for them.)

"Next time, you'll go straight to the brig!" Fox growled.

The comm officer regained his composture and was back at the controls. "Sir, the chopper's arrived," he said...

----------

Crimson Squad, having their weapons checked in, reached the mess hall. Jayden's body was being transported to the base's mortuary...

Branston was being carried to the brig to be treated later...

----------

"Access to the base's mainframe is yours to access, doctor," Race replied. "I have no need for 'help'..."

----------

In the security room, a watcher had no problem noticing the intruder making a vain attempt of conealing her entrance. "Intruder sighted in northern outer perimeter," he radioed in. "Security to sector Charlie..."

----------

A pair of patrol jeeps make a quick u-turn in response to the message...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #2831 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:46:14 AM

Back in Southport, the zombies had reached the top floor, and were beating on the entrance to the roof. The pipe the Dhole had wedged in the frame was beginning to splinter...

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

"Excellent. The first individuals to register will be coming in as soon as we leave," bowed O'Neill. "Simpson, follow me."

He led Shelton out of the room. "you can go in now," he said to the first person in line. They started filing in an orderly fashion into Ms. Race's office.

MrDrake · **Reply #2832 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:51:57 AM

Soon, Trinity decided to leave her little temporary office for the time being and walked down the hallway with Hailey following her rather close behind still. Hailey, as she was following Trinity, was looking at her hand once again as it engulfed in flames whilst she walked.

Trinity decided to make her way towards Ms. Race's office first, however, on the way there, she stopped outside the security office and overheard what was going on as she entered it "What's going on?" she decided to ask as she looked to the footage on the screens, one in particular seemed to be blank "What's wrong with the camera?"

***

Viper in turn, had seen something else that did look promising and teleported away and reappeared on another building in order to get closer to the prison itself. However, little did she know that her luck had been terrible and there was another security camera watching her.

***

Back inside, Trinity had seen what had happened and got the watcher to stop for a second "Tell them to stand down...." she glanced over to Hailey "Go and take care of this pest....kill her if you have to....either bring her in alive or kill her, just don't let her escape"

Hailey in turn, said nothing as she turned around and walked off, heading towards the entrance of the prison in order to head outside, passing Shelton once again in the process, but didn't even stop to acknowledge his presence.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #2833 on:** August 25, 2010, 02:19:15 AM

Ms Race waved her assistant over. "Please escort these people to the proper facilities to get registered," she said with annoyance in her voice. "This office is NOT a recruitment center..."

The assistant bowed and explained to the visitors that they must head underground to register...

----------

"All guards on pursuit of the intruder," the watcher radioed, "break off pursuit. Remain on standby."

A supervising officer turned to Trinity after watching Hailey leave. "You have only 5 minutes for her to do her job. Ms Race wants this a secured facility. She will not tolerate doddling with games..."

----------

Soon, the highway patrol copter spots the red smoke and homes in on the roof...

MrDrake · **Reply #2834 on:** August 25, 2010, 02:36:18 AM

Trinity just nodded back in complience "Oh, do not worry, she knows what the penalty is for failing....." she spoke as she watched the security cameras still, seeing that Viper still had not moved from her position.

***

Hailey had soon stepped outside and took a look around for where Viper was. The moment she had found the female, she fired a fireball in her direction.

Viper looked in the direction of the fireball and teleported away to another location, looking down to see her attacker, Hailey "You..." she muttered to herself and teleported a second time as she reappeared near Hailey.

Hailey in turn, quickly turned to face Viper and fired another fireball at her as Viper vanished and reappeared again.

"What the hell is your problem? Don't you remember me? You know, from Lab 101?" Viper asked, but saw that Hailey wasn't listning to reason.

Hailey on the other hand, engulfed herself in flames and started to turn the heat up, which in turn, was already starting to weaken Viper somewhat, even burning her fur and clothes. Seconds later, Hailey made her next move, bringing two hands out in front of her and fired, what seemed to be a flamethrower like power onto Viper, badly damaging the girl some more.

Seconds later, Viper fell to her knees, coughing somewhat, already badly injured as it were before she was grabbed by the throat in Hailey's flaming hand. Viper attempted to grab onto the hand, but it was too hot, and was already burning away at her throat.

After a few seconds, Hailey released the Jackal, to which Viper dropped back to the ground, far too weak to head off anywhere, too weak to even use her powers, unable to properly concentrate as the burns on herself were already preoccupying her mind.

Hailey had succeeded in her mission in stopping Viper as she waited for the escorts, or someone at least to show up in order to take Viper away.

Viper was indeed, badly burned, her clothes burned quiet a bit, damaged in fact from being burnt as she lay on her stomach, breathing somewhat, but not really moving one bit.

The plane carrying dr landon and Aisha approached the ground . " i hope they gt some information out of Branston." aisha said.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2836 on:** August 25, 2010, 02:23:49 PM

Roux shut her eyes for a moment.
"Found them. Sensing neural patterns that match the ones you speak of. However, anomalies detected as well. Identifying...identifying... Signature resembles that of Hailey. Calculating....signature errors identified. Cannot identify source."
She said monotonously, her eyes opening to reveal nothing but the whites of them.

Neku immediately tensed up.
"Wh-what? Hailey? Roux, can you take me to her? Then get back here, and get Kagetora, Adelwulf, and Cale to the others. Do you understand?"
He asked nervously...

Roux nodded.
"Understood."
With that, she grabbed his arm and the pair vanished...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #2837 on:** August 25, 2010, 05:54:21 PM

O'Neill led Shelton into a small empty room. Shelton felt extremely apprehensive, remembering the last time someone from Dragonstorm led him into an empty room, but this time he had no weapon up his sleeve.

O'Neill turned and faced him. "We're promoting you."

Shelton double-taked. "What? Really?"

"Montgomery and Zenarchis are shuffling around the DS teams right now. The surviving members of Teams 6 and 8 have been combined, as have 5 and 9. You have been designated the commander of DS-2."

Shelton was surprised. "Can the team hacker also be the commander?"

"That has admittedly never been done, but Pygmalion was one of Branston's escorts during his capture, and Ajax has been promoted to Chief DS organizer, in place of Branston." Pygmalion was the old DS-2 hacker.

O'Neill extended his hand. "Good job with the convoy back there, taking charge. Everyone who escaped Lab 101 in that convoy has you to thank."

Shelton shook his hand. "Just doing it for the good of Dragonstorm."

O'Neill smiled. "You've been one of our top allies since you joined Dragonstorm two months ago. I wish we'd had you since the beginning." He handed Shelton a key to one of the cells in the refurbished ward. "Now, I can see you're tired. Get some rest, I know you've had a long day. I'll do your registration stuff for you."

Shelton nodded gratefully. "Thank you." He left the room and started for his room, looking extremely troubled.

MrDrake · **Reply #2838 on:** August 25, 2010, 09:17:05 PM

Trinity soon enough had approached Hailey after she had taken care of Viper, looking at the female on the ground before looking to Hailey "You did good...." she spoke, actually complimenting Hailey for her efforts.

She then looked over and motioned for some of the guards to come over and take Viper away to a special holding cell "Keep a watch of her....seems like she has a certain teleporting power....keep a charge of electricity running through her....that was, she shouldn't be able to escape"

Hailey watched as Viper was taken away before looking to Trinity, who in turn, motioned for her to follow her back inside. Hailey just followed Trinity without a single word still.

***

Aimee in turn, continued to make her way up the mountain, grumbling to herself "After all this Dragonstorm crap is finished, I am so moving to another country where I can't be found, like Fiji, Samoa, Sri Lanka....or even New Zealand...." she grumbled as she soon stopped for a bit, getting rather tired from all the walking "Yeah....New Zealand sounds nice right about now...."

She took a bit of a breath of air as she looked around, having no clue on where she was or what direction she was even heading in.

Serris · **Reply #2839 on:** August 25, 2010, 10:52:43 PM

Aedulwulf groaned and punched a slab of metal from Lab 101, leaving a large dent in it. "Damn it!" he growled. "How could I have been so careless to let myself get turned into this!"

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

Soon, the mess hall began to fill with soldiers who were preparing to eat breakfast.

Gustave awoke nearly everyone just as Cpl. Stern entered the room. He said nothing as he picked up a plate and stood in line behind a Platypus soldier.

Dr. Zanasiu picked up a plate and stood behind him. "Something wrong, Corporal?" he asked.

Cpl. Stern sighed. "Aydin, he's becoming unstable. Just a few minutes ago, he assaulted the communications officer," he said. The line moved quickly as pancakes, hash browns and scrambled eggs were piled onto his plate by a dour looking Grey Wolf.

Spc. Crota sighed as he slithered up to them. He said nothing as he received several hardboiled eggs for breakfast.

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

Zachary, Werner and Hans entered the airfield just as the Chinook landed.

"Aisha! Dr. Landon! Is everyone okay?" Zachary yelled over the sound of the helicopter's rotors.

The sun was now starting to rise.

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

Alfred awoke from the chair he had been sleeping in. He got up and spoke to the secretary.

"Hey, when are visiting hours?" he asked.

The secretary, who was busy typing away at his computer, pointed a sign on the door. The sign read: "Visiting hours: 0900 - 2300".

Alfred groaned and picked up a Newsweek magazine.

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

Meanwhile, Neville was awake inside the base hospital. His stomach was wrapped in bandages and an IV was in his right hand. He was watching, somewhat ironically, Top Shot on the History Channel.

"Guess I must expect to be shot sooner or later in this line of work," he deadpanned.
