He smiled as he lay back in his chair, pleased with the plans he had so recently made, now all he needed was to wait, and everything would fall into his lap, but first, he'd have to ruin a few plans, both human and furry.
Standing up he went to see if they'd sent out the search teams yet, if he could get them now then maybe they still wouldn't find out, perhaps...if they didn't see what he'd done and put two and two together.
The still injured person made towards the door, then stopped, the screen on his computer was flashing, retruning quickly he crouched to read a message and a smile spread across his slightly bandaged and scarred features.
Then he left, he had lots to do, and so little time, oh yes, he was already on the way to completing his goal, so close, so very close...

Xan, purposeful as ever, was already standing beside the Badger as Meeka and Maize stepped up to the figure. He nodded respectfully to them as they took up station nearby, waiting for Nightshade to finish talking.

Sparks stood up, a scowl on his face. "I can't believe this. The lot of you, who I traveled with from that hell-hole of a prison on the moon to pseudo-freedom, whining like pups in a lightning storm! It makes me sick." He turned to the speaker. "Let me go on the expidition as the captor/demands issuer...I'm infamous in Overlander society...I'm sure you've heard of me...the Firebug." Hushed whispers flowed through the wind until Sparks produced a fireball in his hand. "If they don't submit to our demands...well, I know 1,001 ways to make a man burn irreparably without killing him." He let out a sort of psychotic smirk and chuckle.

The badger looked sternly down his nose at Sparks but decided to ignore him, he obviously couldn't be bothered to get into an argument right now.
"Alright, you'll have to go right now, get geared up and then get on, follow me to the armoury."
Without looking to see who was following the badger moved out of the room then down a hallway, making several turns to get to he room where they would 'gear up' as it were. Nightshade followed close behind, thinking that after all that fighting they'd done to escape from PS9 they were now leaping back into the fray again.
"I must be crazy," she muttered, but then remembered how Angelo, Paragus and Kamatz had died for their freedom,
"Or I'm an avenging panther."

Selena had much the same sentiments at Nightshade, and only nodded wordlessly as they followed the badger. She didn't need a reminder that her brother was never coming back; just thinking about his last words to her before he ran off with Angelo and Paragus brought stinging tears to her eyes...her young brother had run off, inevitably perishing in the explosion that engulfed the Lunar Base. They'd known the risks that came with escaping, but just like that, Kamatz's life had been taken.

With a sigh, Selena turned her attention back to her feet, avoiding any looks of sympathy from her mentor and the captain.

Maize sighed herself, realizing the how much energy had been drained from her system during the entire mess, and how tired she felt. Nobody had had a moment's rest, and up until now, they'd all kept themselves busy, not bothering to see how tired they were. But now, the effects of their harrowing escape hit the older wolf like a ton of bricks, causing her to stumble slightly. John took a sidelong glance at his old friend, and his eyes were filled with sympathy.

"Maize...maybe you should-"

"No, John."

A sigh, and he continued walking, ready to grab the she-wolf if she stumbled again, and escort her back to a room where she could rest. However, as if aware of his motives, Maize did not stumble even once more.

----

Matzy stood up, before gesturing with his free hand for his friend to come closer, while Angelo cautiously inspected the grating the wolf held firmly in his paw.

"What d'you have there, Kamatz?" The bat asked, quirking an eyebrow.

The red-furred wolf smiled grimly, "They went-a this way, chief. I can smell 'em."

Satisfied, Angelo hopped down through the manhole, waiting as Kamatz used the ladder so he could replace the cover. The two trekked on in silence, making disgusted faces as they sloshed through the sewer waters. Try as he might, the young wolf could not pick up the scent of their friends.

"Can't," He said to the bat next to him, who shook his head in dismay. "Too many sewer scents Ang."

Angelo scratched his chin, looking around at the moss covered walls. He seemed to be deep in thought, wondering what the next course of action would be. So far, he and Kamatz had tracked the others using Kamatz's tracking skills, and followed their scents into the Overlander city, until they had found a manhole. That manhole, which led to the very sewers they stood in, had been the end of the trail. No one could smell anything but stink...

Sparks eyed what there was in the way of weapons in the armoury. don't need it, don't need it, don't need it...

The badger watched them as those who had chosen to come entered the armoury,
"You'll have to wait three hours on your transport before you get there, I hope you don't mind the delay. That's part of the reason why we have to leave at once, otherwise we would lose too much time."

Selena just nodded, before grabbing a small pistol and some ammo. Strapping the belt around her waist, the apprentice moved to the side as Maize, gripping the hilt of her sword with one paw, did the same. Captain Meeka picked up a large knife, grenade or two, and a small gun as well, making sure his belt was tied securely around his waist.

Xan had been eyeing a large Rocket-Propelled-Grenade-Launcher in the corner of the room, but decided against it for stealth reasons. He quickly picked up a large AK Asault Rifle and two belts of ammo clips, stringing them in a X across his chest, Rambo style. He also picked up another belt that he fitted around his middle, attaching two small pistols, a large hunting knife and a few Frag and Stun grenades to it. Then, slinging the rifle over his sholder by the long strap, he turned and stood staring at the others impassivley, waiting for them to move.

Nightshade grabbed sub machine gun off the rack and slung it across her back, she gathered up a few ammo clips and attached them to a belt she pocketed, then she looked around for something more her style. Noticing some swords and knives on a wall she grinned and picked up a short sword and attached its scabbard to her belt.
"Right, I think I'm done."
"Well, don't you want any protective gear?" Asked the badger, pulling out of a locker some bullet proof vests as protection for the torso and some pads for the rest of the body.
"No thankyou, it would only slow me down."
"As you wish." The badger left them on a bench for the others to collect.

************************************************************

Someone crept through to the room, as his master had commanded,
The slightly metal creature looked through the window, there was his masters prize, just like he said, the tracking device worked perfectly.
The creature plunged its fists into the switch, the lights flickered and died, no cameras would see him but as he stepped into the room, stealth field activated, he felt a gun pressed to his back.
"Put your hands in the air and come with me traitor." spat a fox, with a security badge on its vest.
The being put its arms up, the brown bat grinned to itslef, knowing he couldn't see his metal hand.
"Who are you?" Demaded the fox, bringing up some cuffs.
"I'm Angelo." it said, "Angelo tha bat." Knowing the stealth field would conceal it it suddenly turned round and smashed the fox in the head, even so the gun was fired, but the bullet just bounced off, the fox didn't know this as he was unconscious.
Laughing the creature ran down the corridor, attracting guards to the sound of the gun fire, they chased the creature who headed for the xit, as he reached the firing line the guards opened fire, but it ran through unharmed, ducking and dodging the bullets fired, then flying and gliding to the floor and pelting down the tunnel, guard patrols were sent out immediately, an alarm went off.
As the lights flashed (they had no sirens) people in the resident block barred the doors and locked windows then crouched down behind a table or a bed.

The creature crouched behind a wall reporting into its personal radio, sending a transmission.
"I tried but I was found, but I'll cause some problems, operation barbwire is in affect."
"Very good, now get back there, be ready for your next attack. Remember, let no one see, if someone does, kill them."
Nodding its head it replied,
"Yes Dr.Regnad sir."

Angelo and Kamatz had been tramping through the sewers for ages, finally they heard a noise gunfire. Running quickly they saw a figure dart away and more people coming carrying guns, moving bac a little they moved back where they came from but not unnoticed.
"There he is get him!"
Surprised Kamatz and Angelo back trackedbbut were caught, both not in exactly best condition for running.
"Right, you're coming with us."
Knowing there was no point in struggling they allowed themselves to be taken to some council room where they asked where commander Evarb after getting their reply they were taken down a hallway,
the lights had been on red now they stopped flashing turning back to a normal white-yellow colour.
They were taken into a room and hen Angelo froze in shock, he sensed Kamatz stop too. Everyoen in the room was frozen. The guards tried to force the two frozen figures intio the room but they just stood there then gathering themsleves they suddenly went in, trying to pull off the guards restraining them.
Selena practically ran to her brother.
"Kamatz!"
Nightshade nearly dropped a gun she'd been lookinng at.
"Angelo?" She looked behind them expecting to see Paragus. But saw no one else.
The badger looked in confusion at the room.
"You know these two?"

"Sel...en..a.....can't......breath!"

"Oh Kamatz, I'm so sorry!" Selena, grinning from ear-to-ear, stepped back as her brother stopped to regain his breath. As she did do, she glanced at Angelo as well.

The two of them were wearing high-tech looking military suits instead of their usual apparel, and the female apprentice guess it was because their other clothes had been destroyed. Kamatz had a large bandage over his left eye, and metal splints attached to his legs. Angelo had a few cuts and bruises, and some unseen gashes as well.

"How in the world-?" She started, trailing off as her brother looked up to her.

"-did we survive? Dunno, really. Thought we were goners. Lucky thing Ang. here was concious."

Maize came up and gave her second apprentice an affectionate hug as well. "But how did you find us?"

"Kamatz and I tracked you guys into the sewers..." Everyone looked at Angelo, who was warily regarding his captors. "But he lost the scent, and there were no other signs we could follow."

"Ah-HEM. Do you know them?" The same guard asked, obviously miffed that they had ignored his question the first time.

Almost simultaneously, Nightshade, Maize, John, and Selena shouted, "YES."

The badger seemed to think about something for a moment then engaged in a whispered conversation with oe of the guards, nodding and mumbling from time to time, finally he turned back to the others.
"I'm afrid your friends are under arrest for suspicion of sabotage, murder and kidnapping."
"What!" Cried Nightsahde in outrage, growling and stepping towards the badger meancingly.
Ignoring her agressive approach the badger continued.
"The bat here was seen attempting to enter a room under cover of darkness but was stopped by a security guard, he then attacked said security guard and fled."
"But that's impossible! We weren't even in the base-"
"You were seen, it was a clear description and while escaping it was caught on camera too, a few corridors away from the room you attempted to enter."
"Look this is some kind of mistake-"
"The bat in question was also asked to state his name. What si the name of your friend?"
"Angelo."
"So was the bats."
There was a tense silence as many people in the room grappled with barely controlled anger, Angelo finally spoke up,
"Look, this is somekind of frame up, you have to believe us, besides, Kamatz wasn't seen on camera and he was with me."
The badger looked from face to face in the room and sighed, then made his decision.
"Right, the bat Angelo will be allowed to reamin here, but he will be watched at all times, the same for the wolf, Kamatz was it? If they so choose they may come on the mission, but any sign of treasonous actions and they shall be shot."
The badger turned aroudn to talk to another guard, making sidelong glances at Angelo and Kamatz.

Selena flared up at once, "No way in HELL my brother or my friend will be shot, you hear me? I know Angelo good enough to know that he would NEVER attempt something like that! You-"

"Enough, Selena."

The blue she-wolf turned to see Maize sending her a warning glance, before placing a hand on her shoulder. Selena's mentor bent over, whispering, to Nightshade.

"I'm afraid more is going on than meets the eye, Nightshade."

Kamatz, meanwhile, was deep in thought. He had been with Angelo, true, but the young wolf wondered just what was going on.

Xan was examining the newcomers carefully, considering the uroar their entrance caused. He had never met them, but he gathered from what had been said that they had been at the Lunar Lab when he had escaped with Nightshade and the others.

Angelo turned and began looking round the room, as though feeling the penetrating gaze burning into him. Eventually his eyes picked out the large reptile stood near the wall...

Nigthshade nodded to Maize,
"I know, I think the security system isn't as good as they think." Noticing Angelo's gaze she suddenly said loud enough for the bat to hear,
"That's Xan, he doesn't seem to be able to talk. But you ca trust him."

Maize frowned, "Either that, or these people don't want to admit that in the dark, any bat could say he's Angelo. For all we know, this guy's name really is Angelo."

Nightshade nodded again looking at the security forces as she did, they didn't look like much, just people with a uniform and a gun, they looked tired and stressed so they probably wanted the easy way out of things, wether it was right or wrong.
"I think these people seem a little paranoid, which can be understood, though if that's true then why would they be so willing to send people they don't really know on a mission that seems very important..."

Xan stepped up and quietly handed Nightshade a small computerised clipboard he had picked up from somewhere. On it were typed the words:

"We're expendable"

Angelo looked over to the guards,
"If that's so," he whispered "Then they musn't think much of our chances, do you suppose there's another plan, maybe this one is merely a distraction for the Overlanders."

John leaned in to the conversation, murmuring, "Xan's right. Far as they're concerned, someone needs to do this job and we're the only ones here."

Maize bit her lip, "Yes...but now that the other's metion it, I'm beginning to dislike this plan. We'd do better if we had time to rest and prepare a strategy."

"Agreed."

Kamatz and Selena, meanwhile, were silently observing the guards and the badger. The two siblings had the same thoughts, and were sharing words of the adventures that had had since the destruction of the Lunar Lab.

Then the badger shushed them and motioned for them to follow.
"You'll have to go now."
"Wait," interrupted Angelo, "Is it possible for us to have a break first, have time to rest-"
"NO! THAT'LL RUIN- its just important that you go now, the vehicles are all ready, it would be such a waste if you stopped now."
The badger sent an apologetic look to the head security person giving him a warning glare.
"Just follow him and be prepared."
The head of security gestured for the others to follow and started walking again...

OOC: Hey. I will be back fully in about a week and a half, but good to see that this is still going.

EDIT: Whoops! Just noticed I posted in the dead version of this...please ignore that...>.>

OOC: Glad to hear that, lets hope I can keep the plot flowing 'til then 😛

IC:
The badger walked hurriedly off, watching out of the corner of his eye as the group followed the fox.
"I hate to do this to them but its important if I could I would have...I wouldn't let them...arghh, who am I kidding, if this plan fails then everything we've been working for will be destroyed, I musn't get soft now, a few must be sacrificed to save thousands, millions...buts still..."
His thoughts were interrupted by a female officer, a cat she lightly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Sir, Head technician Prower has sent a message. It's ready sir."
He didn't need to know what it was, he'd been waiting for this for months.
"Tell him to wait for my signal, if we've planned this right this should all fit in nicely with our other opperation, lets pray this works."
"Yes sir, I'll report back to him immediately." Saluting she jogged off back down a corridor heading down a certain path to an area off limits to certain personel...

*********************************************************

"Right you already? Cause if your not then its too late now, get on."
The fox's tail twitched impatiently as the people hed chosen for the rooftop mission climbed aboard.
Nightshade,Maize, Sparks and John climbed aboard the helicopter, Miaze looking back at Selena and Kamatz with mild concern, she didn't like having to leave them again, but it was neccessary.
"Right, these two are the other members of your team, Angel and Reva, get yourselves aquainted while you're in the air."
The snow leaopard and the black dog hopped on and found their seats, Angel smiled at the group, she was small even for a furrie, this coupled with her bright blue eyes and sweet appearance gave her an innocent look, but on her back was a variety of small explosives.
Reva was the opposite of Angel, a tall black dog carrying a small backpack and ammo clips as well as an automatic rifle slung over his shoulder. Big and muscular the tall canine looked menacing even when he was smiling.
"Nice to meet you guys," said Angel casually as the door was slid shut behind them "I've heard a lot about your drama up on the moon base." The helicopter started to rise into the air, as they rose soft light started to filter down as a door opened in the ceiling.
"I'm a demolitions expert so my job is to blow things up to make things easier for your friends down below. My large friend here is the hacker, belive it or not. He's also a pretty good shot with that gun though I have to say his skills lie in his computers." Reva leant back in the chair and looked out the window, separrating himself from the rest of the group.
"So...what are your names and your particular skills, I like to know what I have to work with." She looked expectantly around the group...
*********************************************************
"The rest of you get in here, you're going to have to go through the sewer works, you also get an extra team member, this is Kodie, now lets et this mission under way."
Angelo, Selena, Kamatz, Lokki and Xan got into the van, up the front driving was a mongoose, who started up the vehicle and moving down the ramp to the entrance of a tunnel as soon as the door was shut behind Kodie.
Sitting next to Angelo was a young black fox in uniform,
"I'm here to make sure you two," he gestured to Angelo and Kamatz, "Don't jeopardize this mission, lets hope I don't have to use this on you, he cocked a pistol and put it back under his jacket quickly, looking round the group cautiously.
'I don't suppose I'm going to get an introduction?"

Sparks strapped himself in. The only thing he'd taken was some light body armor, seeing as his flames couldn't deflect EVERYTHING. Something was up here...he could feel it. It sent a chill down his spine.

"...Sparks. That's all anyone needs to know."

Xan had kept the hand-held computer with him on his belt, and as he stared at the fox (a little suspiciously) he pulled it out and typed his name, handing it to hersilently.

Kodie took the object from Xan and read the message, handing it back he spoke, "So your the one who can't talk, well, even so, speak your mind freely, maybe one of our scientists can fix you up with a speakingdevice that'll work faster, talk to the head of the team later, I'll get you introduced, I'll suggest it. If we come back alive that is."
He leant back in the chair smirking a little, he wondered if he'd got anyone nervous yet, he might as well keep them on their toes he thought.

Maize smiled back at Angel before introducing herself, "My name is Maize, and it's nice to meet you...though the circumstances don't grant much. I specialize in stealth and close-combat, as well as using a sword. I also know enough about small guns to use one."

John nodded and followed his friend's lead. "Name's John Meeka...I was a spy up at the Lunar Base. I was trained to be able to do close and long-range combat, deal with explosives, and use long-range gun types." He gestured to the rifle he had strapped to his back; it was something he'd spotted on the way out, and something he felt slightly more comfortable using than the smaller gun.

Van

Kamatz smirked, "Yeah? Well, I died. So there. Dying twice would be a real landmarker."

Selena rolled her eyes and jabbed her brother in the ribs, earning a pained yelp. With a sigh, she turned to Kodie and began the introductions.

"My name's Selena, and I can manipulate light. I'm sure the lot of you in here have seen me do so," She paused, letting the others nod. Then she gestured to her brother, "This is my brother Kamatz, and he..."

"I can use electricity." And to emphasize his words, the red-furred wolf held up his hand and let a few sparks jump from finger to finger.

IC:
Kodie raised an eyebrow and shrugged, "Whatever you say," but it was obvious he didn't really believe them.
"Nice to meet you anyway, I'm sure your...abilities will be useful in our mission."

IC:
The helicopter had been flying for sometime, managing to get to where it need undetected then paused. Reva suddenly turned to face the front and brougth out his bag, pulling out an assortment of electronic devices, setting them up on his lap he pulled out his lap top, connected several wires and started loading a program, then began fiddling with something.
After several minutes Angel asked,
"How's it going?"
There was no reply for a while then he spoke up,
"Got it."
The helicopter started up again,
"Okay everyone," Said Angel, getting everyone's attention.
"In a few moments were'going to have to get off the chopper, then it will fly off, we can't endanger our transport, we have to leave quickly because the block my friend is sustaining won't last long and the sound this thing makes is going to give us away anyway, so get ready."
The group was tense and then the helicopter stopped the pilot said something that no one managed to catch but the meaning was clear.
Angel and Reva acted at once, Reva closed his laptop with a snap and then packed everythign carefully away, Angel unstrapped herself and motioned for the others to follow her lead moving over to the door and opening it, she unrolled a rope ladder and tossed it down, it was attached to the copter so she didn't have to worry to much about losing it.
"I'm going down first, follow me after, Reva will go last. Okay, here we go guys."
Angel started to quickly climb down the ladder, disappearing in the dark as she touched down on the top of the building...
************************************************************
The jeep kept on its course turning every now and then and hitting a few bumps but ti went smoothly and finally it screeched to a halt.
"Right everyone out, its time to put this mission into gear." Kodie called, unstrapping himself and jumping out, watching Kamatz and Angelo all the time.
As the others got out He looked around for a few moments and spotted the entrance.
"Right here's the plan, we get in through there, we haven't gon in very far for obvious reasons but we'll have to wing it once we're past where exploration teams have gone." Kodie started off through the entrance and the others followed him into thesmall pipes,
"I'm afraid we'll have to crawl on our knees for a bit but it opens up to a larger route later." Looking at Xan he commented,"You'll have to go on your belly."

OOC:

I think I'm gonna pull out of this one.

I'm rather lost in the story and from the way groovygerbil and Super Ferret are posting just to keep the story moving rather than waiting for people to reply and move it along themselves, it seems there isn't a lot of interest in this RP from the other players. Correct me if I'm wrong, but either way I doubt I'm carrying on in this RP.

Lokki wasn't doing anything terribly important at the moment and didn't really have a major role to begin with, so there shouldn't be too many continuity problems if you just ignore Lokki and carry on regardless.

(OOC: I'm still interested here, but it seems a lot of people who were in this have mysteriously dissapeared recently, plus I have to admit I'm not really sure where we're headed with this atm so I can't really do much more than make connective posts.

I'd love to see this revive and continue, but where has everyone gone?)

OOC: I am back! But it's late right now, so I will IC later.

OOC: I have no idea but I wish they'd come back "hint hint" I can't do anything right now but I'll post later as long as nothing happens...try and come back guys!

(OOC: I've been real busy ever since my last post, and I'm kinda wandering atm. Having some sort of a block when it comes to certain RPs. >< )

IC:

Serenity woke with a start in the Rebel base's medical facility. At first she glanced about herself in a panic, but then forced herself to calm down, realizing she wasn't in Regnad's clutches anymore. Still...She knew she was a ticking time bomb. She looked down at the hospital bed's sheets, not wishing to give the humans who had altered her more information than they had gotten from her initial panicked sweep of her surroundings. As it was, that would probably not have helped them, as her glance had been so quick and frantic, that it would have caused only dizzyness and headaches to anyone watching.

Something stirred at the foot of her bed. Without looking up, Serenity knew it was Surge. He had been acting very protective of her recently.

"Uhh..Reni? You're awake?! Oh thank Mother Mobius!"

Serenity didn't look up, but her lip twitched. "It's not like I was mortally wounded Surge..." Her voice trailed off, as she began thinking again of her leg, left behind on the exploding Moonbase. She stiffled a sob.

TBC

OOC: I'd kind of like to RP what happens between her and her father, if that's okay. But untill he gets here...I'm open for interaction.

OOC: waiting for plot-important point to happen. Sparks is silent usually anyway.

OOC: Okay to all of that.

IC:
Serenity's ears twitched, she heard voices outside the door then the creak of it opening.
"Serenity?" The hedgehog in question had mixed feelings over the realisation that her Dad was there at last.

OOC; I guess that was a bad entry but it gives you something to do while I run around trying to read all the posts I've missed (internets been screwy and I've been busy, dang 'eh?)

OOC: My muse just ambushed me...@ three in the morning.

IC:

Serenity looked up with a start, trying to suppress the fear that momentarily showed in her eyes.

Her father backed up a bit, holding up his hands. "Whoa...Ren...It's just me."

Serenity consciously slowed her hyperventilating. Almost instantly, she was out of the bed, forgetting for the moment the cameras in her eyes as she beheld her father. She threw her arms around her father's neck, and the tears came unbidden. "I...I thought I'd never see you again...Oh Daddy..."

"Shh...it's ok, Ren...I'm here..."

Surge looked on mutely, not wanting to interupt this reunion.

Father and daughter stayed in their embrace for several long blissfull minutes. Then the blue hero became aware of something odd on his daughter's back. He moved his hand over the metalic laticework.

Serenity tensed. Sonic immediately stopped. They broke the embrace, and the hero looked at his child for a minute or two. "Serenity...Plumcake...Great Mother! Look what they've done to you!" His teeth clenched.

Serenity looked down, ashamed. "Daddy...I...I'm sorry...I...They gave me no choice...."

"Shhh...I know..." Sonic moved to hug his daughter again, but she backed away, still looking down...and tripped over her replacement leg. Her father immediately tried to help her up.

Serenity looked down, leaning awkwardly on her father's suportive arms. "I...I'm a freak..."

"Noo..."

"Yes...I am...They...They took my leg...I can't run no more...and..."

"And I'm gonna make them PAY for that, you can coun't on it, Ren..."

"No...please...I...I shouldn't even BE here...I'll only cause distruction..."

"No, you won't..."

"YES, I WILL! You...you don't understant what they've done to me..." She was curled up on the floor, rocking, now. "I..They...they made me their involuntary spy...I've probably already doomed this entire complex..."

"What?!"

"It's true...They put little cameras in my eyes...and microphones in my ears...and probably a tracking device on me somewhere as well, and...Unnngggghhh!" She crumpled even tighter, holding the side of her head.

"Reni! Reni, what is it?!" Her father and Surge both said in unison, rushing over to help her.

"I....unnn...I probably wasn't...suposed....to...urrrghh...say all that....and now they're punishing me for it....uhhnnnn...They...I think they put something...Eyyyaghhh...inside my head...it...h-hurts...I...I think...Subdue me, PLEASE! YOU GOTTA! I...I think they...they...they want me to...to..t-to...k-k-k-KILL you, Daddy! EEEYYYYAAUUGGGHHH!" She suddenly twisted around and tried to bite the astonished hedgehog on his neck. "Stope me...Please! Kill me before I kill you...EYYYAAAAGHHHH!"

Before her programing could make her complete this grisly task, though, Surge sent a mild electrical pulse into Serenity's mind, and snapped her out of it...at least for the time being. She crumpled to the floor, whimpering and shaking. "I...I'm s-sorry...D-daddy...They...they gave me no choice..."

"Shhh...You didn't hurt me." the hedgehog had dodged away from his daughter's involuntary attack before she could hurt him.

Serenity sat on the floor, shaking and hugging her knees. "I...I'm sorry...I...I'm...I'm a monster...."

"Shh...no you're not...shhhh...we'll make them pay for what they've done to you, I swear it...Shhh..."

Serenity was sobbing uncontrolably again.

TBC

OOC: Ahh...torment...

OOC: Okay, I've thought it over with SF and heres the plan.
Group 1 (helicopter roof entry)
1) Get onto the roof from there we find a way in, there are not many due to security reasons, defenses weill be seriusly high, expect a few surprises, Freedom Fighter intel is not exactly brilliant due to lack of resources.
2) Once in follow the snow leopard, in here you can add whatever you like, we're basically in a larg-ish building, filled with security, lasers, miniture gun turrets, scanners, and maybe a few bio mines reacting only to certain DNA combinations.
3) If you trigger an alarm of any kind, guards will come running, k?
4) Try and locate the president, no one knows where he is yet so we'll need to get Reva in to a place where he can try and hack the sytstem, if you like you can go wandering off, there are some things you may find
5) Please have fun.

Group 2
1)Get in. (somehow)
2)Secure an exit.
3) Have fun

Don't worry, its about to get interesting...

Xan knelt down and wrapped the strap of his rifle around his thick, powerful tail, thenslid himself into the pipe slowly. It was a tight fit, but he had enough room to dig his elbows into the sides and push himself forward. The rifle made a slight grinding noise as it scraped the plastic, but so long as the passage widened out before they reached the complex that shouldn't be a problem.

He wasn't keen on the confines of the tube, but he simply pulled himself along with powerful thrusts, using the leverage of his toes to push too.

(OOC: It's kinda wierd this has come up today...just a few hours ago I was doing exactly the same thing as Xan is doing here in a cave in the Yorkshire Dales (England) o.O A small family day out, and we went to a cave there you had to crawl on your stomach to get though...)

OOC: Yay people seem to be still interested in this

IC:
Angelo looked at the pipes and after a few hesitant seconds, went in, hearing someone follow behind and sensed Kodies glare boring into the back of his skull.
"Youa lright up ahead Xan?"
He called, feeling slightly claustrophobic in the tight confines, he'd been in airvents, but nothing as small as this. For once he was thankful for his small thin body...

Angel watched as some of the others came down.
She looked through the gloom at the roof around them, searching with her keen eyes for a way in. She saw no ventialtion shafts, only odd looking cap like things she was dimly aware of due to their colouring being so close to that of the building, rending them almost invisble.
Angel, seeing no clear entrance, mulled over in her mind what the caps could be...

******************************************************

She turned another corridor and stopped outside the doors, bringing out her clearance card and showing it to the sentry, who checked the id number.
"Okay, your clear." He stated, opening the door.
Nodding in thanks she slipped throuh, slightly out of breathe she moved through the well lit cavern to where the large machine core lay, opened wide for the inspection of the head Technician.
"He says...you are to wait...for his...sinal."
"Thankyou Cathy, you go rest now," The red fox smiled as he continued," I'll need you later unless they get the channel fixed up gain."
"Yes sir, will do...sir."
Turning and walking at a slow jog she moved off to the small rec room they had for the messangers and other worn out staff.
The fox's two tails twitched as he watched her leave, then turned back to his work, the inscriptions seemed to be of echidna origin, but he wouldn't know for sure until he reached the very centre of the technology, but he still needed to find the key...

******************************************************

Everything was ready, he just needed to give the signal, just the signal, they'd located the target, now all they had to do was make sure the right person was there at the right time and then they could put the plan into action.
"Yes, not long now, soon, oh so soon."...

"How are you going with the information on Serenity?"
"Not very well, this technology is good, it will be difficult trying to remove it, I think the most important thing at the moment is to get rid of the auido, then the visual, then the, whatever in the back of her skull, that will be the most difficult of all. The best way would be if someone found the place where they're controlling akl this from, shut it down and destroy all knowledge of the code, meaning they'd need to kill anyone or otherwise silence those who knew it. This is going to be difficult Michael."
"No one said it would be easy."
"Mmmm..."
"What?"
"I was just thinking, maybe we could instal some kind of...yes, I'll work on it right now, but I'll need a blood sample from her. Could you get it for me?"
"Right away, lets just hope she doesn't try to kill me or something."
"If that was a joke Michael, it wasn't funny."
The shrew shrugged and left, heading for Serenity's room...

After what seemed like an eternity the pipe opened out into a large tunnel, intersecting it at rightangles. Xan pulled himself over the lip of the pipe and rolled onto the floor of the tunnel, standing up from the roll and grabbing his gun. He checked both ways down the dark passageways, making sure the coast was clear, then stepped back, leaning against the far wall of the tube, waiting for the others to emerge...

OOC: I hope people come back, thanks for posting Wraith

IC:
Angelo pushed himself along the pipe but saw the outline of Xan standing up, so the exit must be near...

OOC: Like I said. Sparks is being quiet. He's following, but keeping to the shadows and is being quiet.

OOC: I'm ready to get back into this soon...if it's still running. Was away for a month at my parents' where I didn't have net.

EDIT: Still want to continue, if anybody else does...just REALLY busy right now...x.x
