Cyber Wars Chapter 4- Shell Games

[Wolf99x]

OOC: Here's the new chapter. Sorry I couldn't think of a clever title, but I tihink this fits...oddly enough. (runs to avoid objects being thrown at self from the audience)

BIC: As Jade stormed off, the newcomer in tow, Wolf was starting to think that the tranq pistol was going to end up being used on multiple people before the day was out. I'm the only person who so far has not lost it...weird... he thought. He radioed for a clean up team, and then activated the intercom.

"Attention all members of both Real World and Cyber World forces, there is a meeting being held IMMEDIATELY in the conference room. The meeting is mandatory and of vital importance, so please make best speed to the conference room."

And Andy, if you make one off-color statement about the cyber force, I'll put enough tranquilizers in you to take down Robert Downey Jr. Wolf thought as he discommed.

Wolf arrived first in the conference room, so he sat down at the head chair and waited for the others to arrive. Whiel he was waiting, his PDAP beeped again. It was Beowulf

"Find anything yet?" Wolf asked

"Nothing, not even a small mention. Coyote is keeping quiet" the AI responded.

"Hmm...that's not good...well, keep an eye out."

"Ok, sir."

The AI vanished again.

Whatever he had been doing up until Wolf addressed the teams, was quickly forgotten.

Gabriel made his way to the conference room, the dull ache in the back of his head throbbing in beat with his footsteps.

Entering the conference room a newcomer, he promised the next time he entered he would be accepted as integral part of the team. He had a good feeling about what the future held ...

Throbbing migrane, notwithstanding.

Monk wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel he had been given, as he got the e-mail from Wolf on his cell. "A meeting?" The intercom came in and alerted him again of the situation. He took a deep breath, and exhaled a sigh. "Another mission. This time, into my head, to find out my past." He started to walk to the conference room, making sure to take his time. If he was lucky, he would miss the meeting all together, and she would have no choice but to throw him out. That's all I can hope for right now. Maybe I can upset her so much...

But he rethought, Is that what I want? I'm so close to finding out what has escaped me for so long. I'm both excited and frightened. He stopped in the middle of the hall. What do I want to do? What should I do? I should go.

And risk my friends?

But this is your only chance to find out!

At what cost!? Do my friends have to die because of me?

What other choice do I have?

I'm scared...

I'm excited...

He sat against the wall and hid his head in his hands. You know... I don't know what I am...

Wraith entered her office and stood in front of the door, putting his hands in his pockets slowly and calmly. He felt he was going to get it bad, so he might as well prepare himself.

[Forever Zero]

Glam had been making good progress in finding the loadout room, when suddenly a voice informed them to head back to the conference room. <Son of a... Didn't I just come from there? Well, got to retrace my steps now...> Glam thought, then began to backtrack his steps to find the conference room.

[Andy]

(sorry about the absence, yo. a little venture to a demo.)

Andy strode through to the conference room, flanked by his special op team. He ran a hand through his short dark hair, and turned around. "Well. Here we go. This time we've got some new lads to test out."

Andy and his team stood around the middle desk, waiting for something to happen.

(ooc: sorry there MC, had to forget the whole showing you round thing. call it a plothole.)

[Wolf99x]

Wolf decided to let everyone take their time in arriving, since so far only Gabe, Andy, and his team had shown up. Wolf ws particulary concerned that Monk would not show up anyway, since he was still disoriented.

Well, if he doesn't show up, I can just brief him later Wolf thought. He decide to wait one more minute, since Glam and Daren were still absent. The recruits have a right to know the shit they're getting into.. He also noted that Rogers hadn't shown up yet either.

"As soon as everyone else shows up, we can begin." he said to nobody in particular.

[EDIT]: Well, seeing as how it has been 2 days since I posted this, and nothing happened, I guess it is up to me to move the plot along [/EDIT]

1 minute later, Wolf got tired of waiting

Every second I waste is a second we lose in stopping a catastrophe...might as well begin the meeting.

"Okay, anyone who misses this meeting will have to be filled in later. As you already know, the Coyote virus is holding Cyberspace hostage with a bomb. He threatens to detonate it in less than 70 hours if we do not hand over his son, which is a clone of himself that we 'captured' after he went rampant. Currently, we are trying to learn the location of Coyote's mansion, but things have been slow going. Also, two matters have arisen which complicate the situation."

Wolf hit a button, which showed an image of Agent Smith that he managed to capture on his PDAP before log-out.

"This is one of two sentient AI programs I have encountered calling themselves 'Agents'. This one goes by the name Agent Smith. The other called himself Agent Thompson. These AIs were created by Mastermind with the intent to recover Monk by all means necessary. Of course, we cannot allow this, because of issue #3, which I will get to later. As for these Agents. From what I can figure, they are powerful, and fast. They can dodge bullets, and break apart tables as if they were cardboard. And defeating them takes either great skill, a lot of luck, or both. I don't know if they have RW forms, so you can relax for now, Andy."

Wolf let the verbal jab set in, then continued
"Finally, Issue #3. Jade has located a building in the Cyber World. This building is a data repository for many of Mastermind's archived information, including the mental data of many of his slaves. Jade has learned that this repository contains Monk's memories. These memories could hold the key to finding a flaw in Mastermind, one that we can exploit. Our plan is to go in, secure the data, give Monk his mind back, and then get around to hitting Coyote's Mansion. Any questions?"

A penny rolled slowly down the hallway, stopping only after hitting Monks boot. 'Penny for your thoughts?' said Roy, one hand in his pocket as he approached his sulky teammate.

ooc: Can I play with the agents for a while?

[Wolf99x]

OOC: Well, i had wanted Smith to be berated by his bretheren for failing to capture or kill Wolf, but that would only work as a single post, not a multitude. So I've decided that anyone who wants to mess around with the agents just pm me, and i'll pm them back with what i want the agents to be doing. I'll let you know by pm what I want you to do, JADGuy
