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

(Phoenix)

The ship that Chong and Hailey were piloting was detected by the Phoenix's powerful sensor suite.

The ship's mining laser automatically warmed up and trained itself on the approaching as the Captain demanded that the ship identify itself.

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

(Spire of Winter)

Ms. Swimmer took a sip of her tea. "Pleased to meet you."

The living planes on the viewscreen all dipped their front ends as a gesture of respect.

Captain Fairchild suddenly appeared on the viewscreen. "Sorry, I was late but I had some training to do."

"The rings should also provide temporary protection in case of a vacuum exposure.  Just try to get back to the tardis as fast as you can." Jason said.  He said before walking outside.

"nice." Guilmon said looking around at the sights he could see.

"Indeed, the tardis picked a very picturesque place to materialized." Jason said.

"At least it's not a haunted hotel." Velma said.  

"Haunted HOtel, that sounds cool.  Where is that?" Gnash said, liking the idea.

"A place we visited previously, and then got into a war.  Big and very messy." Brooklyn said.

(Phoenix)

The captain of the Phoenix sent a radio message to Chong and Hailey's ship.

"Identify yourself or you will be fired on!"

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

Dr. Kerzach looked at his PDA and rolled his eyes. "Great, sensors picked up an unknown ship and it's not responding to the captain's demand to identify itself.

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

(Spire of Winter)

"Well first off," Deimos said, as he took a sip of tea. "We don't know where the hell Chong is."

Mr. Bigmouth rolled his eyes. "Knowing him, he'll probably come to us."

Mr. Bigmouth returned with a laptop and was currently browsing through the police reports of the spaceways.

His eyes widened as he spotted a recent dispatch regarding a pirate attack on a ship known as the Phoenix.

Dr. Zanasiu looked over. "Hey, isn't that Nick's ship?"

Deimos looked over the details. "It's his ship all right."

Mr. Bigmouth cleared his throat. "Stripetail, I have located Nick's ship. Shall I set a destination for Captain Carson?"

Rime leaned back in his chair and put his feet on the table.

"If I may, Commander," Captain Fairchild said. "I suggest that we head to where the Phoenix is located. There, we have the best chance of catching Chong and placing him into custody."

A crash followed by Lt. Martin unleashing some remarkable profanity sounded through the viewscreen.

Yes Contact the Captain, and have set a course.. " strIpetail agreed. as Dixie spoke up " er Stripetail youy mentioned something at the reception about someone raising someone from the dead.. chong isn't our only concern here..
_
Yeah, I didn't know you could bring someone back from the dead Tigress said.
_ You can, but it requires such extreme power that only a few beings in existence can do it. it is banned by the Wizard governing council for several reasons, among those, are the extreme power  it requires, the dangers involves in bring someone back-failing in the attempt can kill you-, the fact that revivals rarely are done with good intentions, and finally the morality of it. All mortals have a time to live and a time to die. It does not matter whether thier lives are short or long, when they die they die" Stripetail said." and the dead shhould be left alone.
_
Didn't we deal with a whole group of ghosts back at the Inglorious Hotel/ Nani pointed out. " ghosts are different, they are embodiments of a dead person or creature, and are governed under different rules." stripetail explained.
_ so fort example, could you say, bring my brother Nukas ghost here? Vitani chimed in. " well I could summon his ghost, certainly, but why would I disturb him unless it was necessary? Nuka wasn't exactly a good sort eoither as i recall your highness" stripetail said.
_
So you could bring my grandfather Mufasa" Kopa started before stripetail cut himoff. " I am NOT going to be bringing any ghosts here, understand? I don't like bothering the spirits unless it cannot be avoided, and even when it is necessary i usually avoid the real evil ones..
_
So I have a question Kiara said "so in this team of yours Stripetail am I going to be the weaker part of my pairing? " No your m,ajesty, eachmember of a  pair is equal,while there is a hierachy, based on when I gave the rings to each pair,  i do not condone looking down on others lower than you in rank. Besides, all of you ultimately answer to me, if there is any disagreement i will step in and handle it..You and your brother Kiara are, obviously, well-trained in giving orders, so you know what that entains. Leadership is sometimes complicated and messy,and often involves compromising to a certain degree.
_ and there are rules and customs, and posture and" Kovu added " Stripetail waved his paws in a dismissive gesture " yes Yes, Your highness, spare us the finer poinmts please..xwe are already get off subject..

Mr. Bigmouth nodded and radioed the bridge. "This is Mr. Bigmouth, I would like to speak to Captain Carson."

"So you finally decided on a course?" Captain Carson said.

"Yes."

"Can you pinpoint the location of the starship Phoenix? Stripetail has suggested that as our next destination." Mr. Bigmouth then sent a copy of the police blotter to the bridge, taking advantage of the ship's wireless communication system.

"Can do."

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

Captain Carson looked at the screen next to her as the police blotter showed up. She then input the coordinates of the Phoenix into the jumpdrive navigation computer.

She then broadcast throughout the entire ship. "Attention, the Spire of Winter will be entering hyperspace in approximately three minutes."

The captain then pressed a button to warm up the jump drive and leaned back in her chair.

There was an earsplitting crack as the ship entered hyperspace.

"Well, all we can do is wait," Mr. Bigmouth said.

"So who's up for a walk around town?" Ms. Swimmer said as he returned her dishes.

"All right, see you around town," Lt. Martin said as the viewscreen shut off.

Ms. Swimmer was the first to exit and look around. They were on a street that looked remarkably like that of Surf Point. Electric cars and repulsorsleds hummed along the road.

She took a deep breath of the air. "Wow, the air's real clean."

Mr. Bigmouth looked around. "Wow, they really did simulate a small town."

Dr. Zanasiu looked at a sign. "Well, there's a vegetable and fish farm in the outskirts of town. Let's go have a look."

"Hey, our food's gotta come from somewhere!"

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

"So care for a quick flight?" Lt. Martin asked.

"Well, we could use some flight training." Rainbow nodded.

"Pardon us," a man in a blue flight suit said. He was accompanied by some other pilots. "But do you mind if we join you?"

"Not at all!" Lt. Martin said. She then slowly rolled over to the runway and waited for clearance to take off.

Dulcy and Samia flew over the town. both young dragonesses were amazed at the sights below them. " this looks like a .. what do you call it? a beach town/ Samia said looking over at her friend.
 Stripetail waked along the sreets pausing to gaze at the other residents. here since there were other squirrells here, none of the residents seemed surprised to see another squirrell there.
_
 thgis looks like a something off of Plaqnet Novaru" clank said as he Ratchet and Angela followede the others down the street, they were beghind Agumon and Agumina. You meet that vacation planet? eh novaru's was g;litzier, at least from those broghures they sent you. costs a pretty big stack of bolts to go there" Angela shrugged " still this place is far better than that hole the Kerchu stuffed me in.. " why did the Kerchu lock you away?Ratchet asked. " because.. well i'll tell you another time..
_ kopa, kiara and kovu continued watching the image as Simba nala and and zazu explained the days report.. ' border patrol's were going off as scheduled- although they were reporting to the king directly now, normally they would report to Kovu, who would tell kopa and the two of them would decide what changes -if-any- to make. ..nala was managing the hunts " starting to show my age a little" she admitted ruefully.
- vitani was looking at the pictures on the wall- mostly motivational posters - you can do it! don't give up!and the like, and few promos for winterville..

The two living fighter jets along with their training partners flew over the Winterville Proving Grounds.

Ms. Swimmer was eating a fruit ice bar she had gotten from a vendor. "So who wants to see the farm with Mr. Bigmouth and I?"

Zachary shrugged and tossed the empty bag of chips into a nearby trash can.

"Nice flowers." Velma said stopping near an area with some flowers growing in them.  

"Very much so." jason said as he and the others stopped, during their walking in the park.  

Guilmon went over to sniff one of the flowers, "Smells nice." He said.  

"This looks like a good place to sit and rest." Brooklyn said pointing to some benches not to far off.

Dr. Kerzach facepalmed.

"Not this s--- again!" he muttered.

Luckily, there were still a few troops aboard the ship, so they got ready for combat.

"Nick!" Dr. Kerzach yelled. "Should we take our money and hide like last time?"
