"I'd be happy to oblige you...but I don't think tonight's my night to die." Wraith grins wryly at her, then hops into the air, changing into his ghost form mid-jump and flowing through the ceiling.

OOC: Ok... I'll let you take command...

Monk watched as his captor vanished into thin air. "Odd..." He said getting up and brushing the dirt off his legs.

"Wolf, don't let him out of your site. And Monk, no solo shit, that's an order!"

Monk sighed, Where have I heard that before... Oh yeah... Andy... the shmuck. He nodded towards her. All right... I will obey with you orders, I just thought..." but he bit his tounge, not wanting to get himself into trouble. "Nothing... It is nothing." He turned and entered the building, knowing that Wolf was right on his heels. It both comforted him, but also made him feel insecure. Even his own teammates didn't trust him. I guess they have every right to... I have betrayed them before. He took a deep breath as he approached the doors.

This was a bad idea from the start...

Andy · 01-21-2004, 04:03 PM

Geared up and suited, Andy's team jumped aboard the pelican(think halo. i know. bite me.)

"Right, we're looking for the point of origin of that coyote's calls. Techies put the location somewhere underground back home, in Oz. Well, we're in china, so it should take us, what, 20 minutes?"

"Affirmative, sir. 20-25 minutes."

"Thankyou leutenant."

"Anyway," Andy called above the now roaring engines, "It's most likely a small box of some kind, a hardware mainframe. There is also likely to be guards of some kind. Exact details are, as it is, quite unknown, but this guy looks shifty as. Be ready for hostiles." Various clicks are heard from the team clicking and loading their rifles.

The jet took off, a sudden jolt rocking the structure. Outside scenery is flying by, passing and disappearing in the space of a nanosecond.

The very classic 'metal' song Bodies, by Drowning Pool is heard through the comlinks. Andy's team look at him smiling. The new ones look at him questioningly. Warren, one of Andy's elites, shrugs, "Kind of a ritual, mate. I dunno, hes always like this before a Mission. He really loves this old stuff." Warren shrugged, and started nodding his head in time with the fast paced guitars and drumbeats.

Andy smiled.

The router terminal was placed along a main powerline it was a simple Transformer relay for the electrical system, the whole place was automated. A single computer terminal for maintenance diagnostics hummed away quietly. It was unaware that a virus had hacked it days ago for the purposes of a global scavenger hunt. He left a simple enough clue on the desktop. A simple game called Super Coyote Brothers.

Wolf99x · 01-21-2004, 09:24 PM

Wolf looked behind him as his AI was yanked out of cyberspace. What the...shit. Man down already.

Wolf activated his comm. "I copy Jade. Monk will not leave my sight. Also, it seems Beowulf has been forcefully removed from cyberspace. What gives?"

While he waited for a response. Wolf drew his .45s, and followed Monk towards the building.

He caught up with Monk at the doors.

"Okay, let's get in there. Don't stray too far from me. I'll cover you if things get too hot. Whatever happens next, don't...freak...out. Understand?"

***

Beowulf materialized in a white room. He looked around, and saw who had dragged him out of the area. It was J2.

"What the hell was that for, ya boggart?" Beowulf said

"Sorry, but Jade decided that I should bring some backup for a mission of vital importance. You are the only other AI on the team, so you got conscripted."

"About this mission, will stuff blow up?"

"Almost certainly"

"Good. I'm listening. Tell me the plan." Beowulf sat down on the ground.

OOC: Batgirl came up with the idea of the AIs going on a mission of their own. I leave it to her to continue it.

batgirl · 01-21-2004, 09:30 PM

"Well Jade gave me this," J2 held up a large box. "It's a crash program, a very advanced one cooked up by Jade. When it goes off, all of Mastermind's forces will shut down and crash. It'll take them awhile to get booted up again. We're going to go plant it in the heart of Mastermind territory. She figured that normal humans won't be to do it, I mean we've got all these upgrades and stuff so we can pull it off. It'll be hard, but it'll severly cripple their forces. So you up for it?"

Wolf99x · 01-21-2004, 09:38 PM

Beowulf called in an M16. He caught it, checked the ammo magazine, and pulled back the slide.

"Let's give Mastermind a kick in the ass he won't forget."

Then Beowulf called in a table of other weapons. He switched out his M9 and uzi for two Desert Eagles with cookie cutter rounds, and he also pocketed three fragmentation grenades.

"Okay. I'm ready."

Zephie · 01-21-2004, 11:56 PM

All security cameras and systems in the corridor directly ahead of our human heroes suddenly go blank, and this's soon followed by Wraith coming in over Jade's comm line. "Wraith to Jade: first floor systems neutralized. Heading for the main control room now."

***

Wraith closes his line and looks behind him and over his left shoulder at the two dead operators on the floor. He twirls his knife once more, then pockets it and switches to ghost form, flowing through the floor to the underground fortress called an operations room. It'll be heavily guarded, but he loves a good challenge.

Wolf99x · 01-22-2004, 03:57 PM

Just as Wolf was about to open the front doors, they swung open automatically. Wraith did his job. The rookie's earning his keep. He thought.

Wolf dove through the doors, catching the two security officers off-guard. One MagSafe from each .45 was enough to put them both down for good.

"Wolf here, Monk and I are through the front door." Wolf reported into his comm as Monk walked through the doors. He quickly swept the area, and found no further hostiles "Lobby secure, awaiting further orders."

batgirl · 01-22-2004, 04:12 PM

"Continue down the corridor until you see some stairs and take those down to the basement, that's where the brainwaves are. Once you get there, secure the area and contact me. I'll be right there." Jade was cautiously making her way down a long hallway at the other end of the building looking for another set of stairs. Just then, two guards dropped from the cieling barring her way. "Hello boys, I'd love to chat but I'm on a tight schedule." She fired two shots; one hit the first guard dead on in the head and the other whizzed by the second. The second guard rushed her, and Jade, being a good deal smaller than the burly man, was able to nimbly dodge his blows and deliver a swift kick to the face, knowcking him out. Not wanting to waste anymore time, she ran to the stairs as fast as she could.
