Zachary handed the radio to Chase. "For you," he said. "Vic wants to speak to you."

He then turned to Gustave. "Hurt him again and you'll be in deep s--- with Dr. Joe," he warned.

Suddenly, there was the sound of sirens.

"F---, not the police again," Dr. Bailey muttered.

Shelton yawned.

"But what? I give you money, you make superweapons that will change the world as we see it now. It seems so simple when you first see it."

Chase got up and walked to take the radio. "Vic?"

"You do remember Dr Joe and myself telling you you're too young to get yourself in trouble," Vic started on the radio.

"I'm sorry, Mr Summers. But Abby needs me. She said they're doing very bad things there, now more than ever."

"If this Abby is where you say she is, Dr Zanasiu and the others will find her. Trust me on this. Anyway, Dr Joe will be dropping by to pick you up, since she can home in on the convoy's signals, if they're not busted."

"Sorry again, Mr Summers..."

Aydin blinked sleepily. He'd drifted off to sleep accidentally. "Where are we?" he asked sleepily.

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

"How close are we to getting the data we need?" Shelton asked Smithson.

"I'm pretty sure O'Neil will be intersted in making use of this technology," responded Smithson. "If anyone has any last questions, ask them, and then we can seal the deal. Drake seems very easily negotiable."

"Any last questions?" Shelton asked Kerzach. "I'm trying to think of something that his machine won't be able to do."

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

Sharon yawned. Everything that had happened to her so suddenly had sapped her of her strength. Only when she had this long car ride did she realize how drained she was.

Stifling a yawn, she slipped asleep, her head leaning against Zachary's shoulder.

O'Neill took a sip of the bourbon. "There are those who do not share our view and they will resort to violence to stop us. We initially thought them to be small rebellious factions but they have grown in power," he said. "No matter, we still overpower and outnumber them."

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

(Meeting Room - New Peenemunde Harbor, FL)

Dr. Kerzach's eyes lit up. "Can your machine recreate and populate an entire city of... oh say, 50,000 people?" he asked.

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

(Hotel Parking Lot- Cornova, NM)

Zachary gently nudged Sharon. "Hey, wake up," he whispered.

Dr. Bailey stumbled out out of the SUV. "Ugh, where are we?" he asked.

"We're in a hotel at Cornova, New Mexico," Spc. Crota said. "Now if we're all done, we'd like to check in and go to sleep!"

"Well, see to it that this nuisance is dealt with, without the bases going kablooey," Sanchez replied. "Until then, consider that ship of yours my last investment, until it works and destroys your little 'pest' problem."

----------

Ezekiel was in his office, when his assistant slithered in. "I take it Dr O'Niel is with Mr Sanchez at the moment?"

"Yes sir..."

"Good. So what about this DS-2 right now?"

"They have not departed to their mission yet, sir."

"Well, they're certainly taking their sweet time doing the master's bidding..."

----------

(Zanasiu's Convoy)

"Now let me talk to Zachary or Dr Zanasiu," Vic said on the radio.

Chase stepped out, looking for Zanasiu or Zachary, but keeping a good distance from Gustave...

Neku circled the holograms warily, waiting for the enemies to strike at him first.
"C'mon you uglies...C'mon."
He taunted...

Roux leaned against Aisha, yawning a little.
"You tired too, cutie?"
She asked flirtily...

(OOC: All right, I want to start playing again, so I'm using a weird cop out to get out of Drake's meeting without really ending it. It doesn't make perfect sense, but sue me.)

Some time later, the meeting ended, and Shelton walked out of the room.

"Jeez, that took forever," he muttered to himself, heading for O'Neil's office to tell him the results.

He walked past a technician, who stopped and watched him turn a corner. The technician took out a piece of paper. That's the man all right. Ezekiel had ordered him to keep an eye on that man, so the first step is to see what he did in that meeting.

The technician headed for the security room. The cameras had a short playback time, he could watch the last few minutes of the meeting.

He activated the playback, and saw his mark sitting with a Cassowary and a Mallard, talking to someone on a webcam. The screen they were looking at had been replaced with scrolling bars due to the limitations of the security cameras.

"Can your machine recreate and populate an entire city of... oh say, 50,000 people?" the Cassowary asked.

(OOC: Now if MrDrake ever returns we can finish the meeting while in real time I can keep going with my plots. Is Shelton involved with any plots at the moment?)

Nick22 · **Reply #3488 on:** January 06, 2011, 02:40:59 PM

Roux and I are headed to our room' Aisha said turning back to the hotel being careful to avoid the glass on the floor " roux was slacking against her " don't get any ideas Roux. although with your mind it'd probably too late for that. you're probably picturing me tied a bed and you doing whatever it is you want to me..Frankly I don't want to give you too much of an idea..'

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3489 on:** January 06, 2011, 05:24:44 PM

Roux smiled languidly.
"Oh, I would never do that. I'm not a rapist, hun. Just a flirt. Wouldn't do anything you didn't want me to."
She teased...

Nick22 · **Reply #3490 on:** January 06, 2011, 05:29:51 PM

well i don't think Aimee liked it when you basically undressed her abd started sniffing her crouch..in ffrront of the rest of us.. " Aisha said as she reached her room. and swiped the key. " Roux you get to choose where you sleep. You can Sleep on the Floor or pick one of the beds' Aisha said ' Now I'm going to trust you" she added setting down on the bed 'ok roux, what do you want to do with me? Just get it out of your system so we can focus on the mission at hand.Alright? if you want to kiss me, ask! if you want to show off, ask! Don't do what you did to Aimee , alright?" Aishas said looking at Roux.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3491 on:** January 06, 2011, 08:51:23 PM

Roux smirked.
"That was different. That was more to do that since she was my enemy. It was a head game. But with you...and with her, when we're together...I'd like to be...well...more like an actual girlfriend..."
She said, blushing...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3492 on:** January 07, 2011, 01:38:29 AM

"New Mexico?" Sharon brightened up. "I was born in New Mexico! We could visit Four Corners..." she paused. " Except I think you have to pay to get in now."

MrDrake · **Reply #3493 on:** January 07, 2011, 06:17:53 AM

Drake continued to watch the simulation, in particular the confrontation between Hailey and the Jabberwocky, but there was something different, something....wrong about it, a small....glitch in the system, or at least, that's what Drake believed.

He looked rather concerned "Soundwave, run a diagonosis on the Jabberwocky program"

"Running diagnosis" Soundwave went silent for a few seconds before speaking again "Diagnosis complete, Jabberwocky program is in working order"

***

Hailey was indeed, engulfed in flames once again. She new she could not defeat the Jabberwocky on her own, without the Vorpal Sword, so she had to try a different approach and was instead, turning up the heat to cause a system malfunction "If I can't beat you, I can sure as hell destroy the original program, burn it to a crisp"

***

Drake looked concerned "Soundwave! Run the next program, run the asylum program....now!" he snapped, having lost his temper for just a moment. He was not going to let Hailey ruin his vitual reality machine.

His attention turned to the others as their question was asked "Not straight away, something like that would require a good amount of a work, you are talking about an entire city built from scratch that would house 50,000 different people, all with unique personalities, so yes, I would be able to do something like that, if you're willing to wait quite, some, time...." he sneered slightly, still agitated with what Hailey was doing to his machine.

He watched as the world changed around both Hailey and Neku, the Wonderland residents vanishing as the scene changed to that of an asylu, but one that seemed to be out of a horror movie, or a horror game "Welcome to Hell hailey...." he sneered to himself as he watched Hailey hesitate and the flames vanishing off her for a moment or so.

At least the two of them were seperated for the time being....

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #3494 on:** January 07, 2011, 03:27:49 PM

Neku smirked.
"Trying to scare us? Or keep us apart? Well, too bad neither one'll work. You can't keep us apart forever...and once we're back together...you're done for!"
He taunted...

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #3495 on:** January 07, 2011, 07:04:04 PM

Shelton nodded. "Understandable. But what about coding just one brand-new AI? For simplicity, something based off a pre-existent...how about me? Could you make an AI version of me and insert it directly into the simulation?"

MrDrake · **Reply #3496 on:** January 07, 2011, 11:25:38 PM

It was as if Drake's voice came over the asylum PA system, with a quick little laugh "You naive little reptile, why would I be trying to scare you? No, if I wanted to scare you, I would be trying harder than this, no, I have something much, much worse planned for you, this place will be your grave"

He then addressed Shelton next "Perhaps" he was not as concerned about makong an AI of Shelton as he was of killing both Neku and Hailey, however, he still went to work regardless, in starting to create an AI version of Shelton. It wasn't such a bad idea as it was.

***

Hailey decided to move onwards, deciding that it would be best to go and find Neku, heading down the hallways, looking at the walls, blood splattered al around, writting done in blood "Heh, really is an asylum....reminds me of Silent Hill....or even Resident Evil...." she shuddered slightly "Would hate to meet Pyramid Head here, that's for sure....ugly bastard he is...."

Alfred bought his armor (in its suitcase) into Aisha and Roux's room.

"Hey, Gustave and me are going out to get some drinks, you wanna come?" he asked.

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

Dr. Zanasiu took the radio from Chase. "This is James," he said.

Zachary was carrying their small arms into the hotel.

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

Dr. Bailey and Dr. Wayne stepped out of their SUV.

"Shakila, shall we all share a room?" Dr. Bailey asked.

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

Gustave was sitting inside his hotel room with Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters. The two serpentine soldiers had been helping themselves to the liquor in minibar. Unofortuntely, their slower metabolisms and small size meant that they got drunk quite fast.

Spc. Crota was passed out - naked - on the couch. And Sgt. Masters was singing bawdy songs at the top of his lungs.

Gustave was watching a movie he had ordered with the in-room remote.

"This is Vic," Vic replied on the radio. "If Chase hasn't caused too much trouble already, you can continue your mission as you planned. Dr Joe will be catching up with the convoy to pick up Chase."

"I just wanted to see things clarified with Dragonstorm," Sanchez said. "As long as you show me assurance of handling this resistance, then you still have financial aid from me."

"If he can program an entirely new AI and insert it into the program, he'll have mastered every challenge I can think to throw at him," Shelton said to his companions.

Smithson nodded. "Which of us should inform O'Neil of our conclusion, which of us should write up the official report, and which of us should stay here and clean up the room?"

"I'm in charge, so I should probably be the one to report to O'Neil," said Shelton. <Which option would you like to do?> he asked Kerzach privately.
