Cyber Wars 2.0 Chapter 5: Redefining "undercover" since 2028
 

Jason regarded the newcomer with intrigue. Another one? Wow, i guess this would be karma making up for the fact i'm leading us on the most sanity-be-damned mission of all time.

He took a quick look over the dossier. "Well, Joshua, you're timing of arrival is a bit odd since we are just about to commence an op, but luckily I have a place for you.

He quickly downloaded all the mission data onto a PDA and handed it to him. "This is the mission profile...don't be afraid if you find it confusing/odd, I still think it's messed up. In any event one of our soldiers, Jax, is running an op within the objective building. See him for more info, I'll let him know you're coming. You'll probably find him in the operations center. Good to have you aboard."

As he finished that he sent Jax a text message informing him of Joshua's impending arrival.

As Joshua left, he keyed the PDA and ran through the briefing. Predictably, his eyes widened.

These guys are hardcore... It's either going to work, or we're going to look more ridiculous than we ever have in our lives...

Shaking his head, he continued his run through the mission files, noting points of exit and entry, the intended target, the other people on the mission...

Most of these guys're irregulars. A few of them are even from Mastermind's team, or at least they used to be. Still, they're here, and Mastermind isn't, so it's a sign of what they can do.

He slipped his shades on as he left the building, visualising the disguise he'd be using for the op later.

Better hope I can keep up.

Kagemusha walked into an alley in Cyber-Toronto. He motioned for Nanashi to follow him out of the program backdoor.

He snuck into the shadows next to his partner, "Kagemusha..." He looked over his shoulder to make sure no one followed him, "I'm still not comfortable with this. There's too much risk. If we get caught, we can forget ANY support we could have recieved from the humans..."

"Then we won't get caught." Kagemusha said as he doned the crow identity again. "We will need to travel by more conventional means now. It's a 7 hour drive to Montreal and we need to rent a car. Any preferences?"

Coyote was diving the web he was trying to gather as much info as possible. He had gotten careless in his zeal. He felt the click on his line. Some one had caught his location dead to rights.

"SHIT!" He teleported away and quickly sent his program on a random server hop. it was seconds after the last bit was transmitted that the orbital laser struck the network hub building in death valley, incinerating the structure and all the equipment inside.

The message from the CIA to General McKenzie was simple.

"We have good information that there is a plan to kidnap ambassador LeFluer, and hold her hostage. The action will be carried out by a group of AI supremists of indeterminate origin."

Jason tried to not laugh out loud at seeing the message from the CIA.

he sent a reply. "Yeah, i'll take care of that after I'm done this. Also, try to remember who Jade LaFleur is. Any AIs attempting to take her hostage are going to need more power than Mastermind to do so. Consider that next time you waste my time with reports."

After he sent that, he grinned a bit. Also, I doubt Monk would be to happy with any AI that kindapped his wife.

Nanashi shrugged, "No... as long as it gets us there. I don't much care." He grabbed the air and pulled out a clack cloak from nowhere and covered himself with it, the removed the hood to expose a handsome short brown haired, green eyed face. Getting an odd look from Crow, he shrugged, "I took the physical appearence from Jade and Monk and randomly combined a profile for myself. Much as a human's genes do it at conception... and odd process that one..."

"have you ever seen the archived footage of Conan O'Briens 'if they mated?'" Crow asked as he walked with the amalgam program. "Never mind."

"Uh... no. In fact, I've never heard of this... Conan O'Brian. I'll have to look him up when I get back home." He quickly caught back up with him. "So... have you decided what kind of car we're going to get?"

Jax was still in the op room, now taking a nap. He figured it'd be worth it.
