OOC: It seems almost unfair that I've been adapting to Coyote's relentless assault on my sanity...but I'll work out something.

BIC: I'm really fucking lost Wolf thought. No matter what he tried, he couldn't find a way out. His trails were starting to go in circles, and he had long run out of identifying marks.

I'm lost! I'M IN THE PLACE OF LOST! he mentally shouted as he sliced apart a wall in a fit of rage.

"Everyone always get's lost in the Escher room. No body ever gets lost in the picasso room."

"The picasso room, despite the cubism, is just a hallway."

"Very true."

"I wonder which will happen first the IPD breaks down or the idiot with the sword get's turned into a llama."

"The IPD can't break down."

*POIT*

"Well he's a cute llama."

OOC: You sick and twisted bastard.

Monk raced into the room, seeing his comrades panting and sweating in their chairs. "What's going on!?"

"Monk... I thought you were..." The operator started.

"What the heck is going on!"

"I'm actually... not that sure sir."

"Not sure!? Where are they?"

"Uh..."

"You have a screen there... right!?"

"Yes sir."

"What does it say?"

"Nothing." He shrugged, and leaned back a little.

"Nothing!? Where are they!?"

"I don't know! They are gone!"

Monk sighed. He was now glad that Wolf taught him a thing or two about computers, so he took a glance at the screen, to see a big black hole in the middle of it. "What does that mean?" He never saw that before.

"That would be where we sent them."

"But...?"

"It's gone. It... vanished."

Monk paused, and said weakly, "I may not be a technician like you... but how in the world do you lose a piece of cyber space!?"

"I'm... not sure..."

Monk sighed and sat in his chair, "Get me as close as you can."

"I'll do the best I can." Aother tech put the plug in his neck and nodded to the operator. "He's in."

"Good luck sir!"

Monk closed his eyes, and let sleep come over him once again, ready to let another dream take over his mind. However, when he opened his eyes, he saw the black hole that was where the team was dropped off. "Ah... he wasn't kidding. It really just vanished." He looked around. "Where are they!? I need to help them!"

OOC: Oh yeah... by the way, just WHERE are you?

OOC: As far as I know, I'm stuck in the Escher room of the mansion. As for where the mansion is...I'm not entirely sure...I don't even know if its a mansion anymore!

BIC: Wolf tired of slicing through walls, and slumped up against a stairwell. His nano-augmentations had finally sapped most of his energy.

I'm lost, I don't know where the fuck anybody else is...they might all be dead for all I know. As for Monk...well...comas suck.

ooc: Reight now the mansion resembles Santa's workshop and we are at the Geographic northpole.

OOC: Damn, I hate computer problems...

BIC: Jade was standing on what looked like a giant hill of snow, but in reality was a giant hill of frozen tapioca pudding. The trailer had morphed into some kind of toy factory at the bottom. Taking one step forward, she immediately slipped and skidded all the way down the mountain. "Ow..." She was getting a bit fed up with the day's events. Her comm system was playing "It's a small world" over and over in her ear whenever she turned it on, her PDAP kept telling her that he "wasn't in Kansas anymore" and a penguin had just slapped her ass. "That's it!" There was only so much that Jade could take. She unsheathed her sword and sliced the door open. She walked into...ntohingness. She was standing in the middle of a dark room, with nothing inside. "Where the hell is everyone?"

A giggling Angel was walking towards where Jade was.

"Dear GOD I've never been so satisfied in my life."

ooc: You have no idea where Jade is. And now she is not even in the same basic area.

The white light setteled into what resembled a doctor's waiting room.

___________

Sarge grabbed the management sign off the door. He then ate the sign. "Tastes like choclate." he said to the other soldiers.

Wolf had no idea how long he had sat there, but he felt like quitting.

I've failed. I promised Monk I'd make sure Jade would get back safe...and now I don't even know where she is. I can't even find my way out of this fucking room. Even if I could escape, I'll be the only one left.

Just then he remembered why they were sent here in the first place: Coyote had a Cyber WMD, and Wolf and the others were here to stop it before anyone else got hurt.

Including Katlin...and I promised myself and her that I'd free her...I can't do that if I'm here contemplating quitting. Even if I am alone, I can't quit. For all I know, I may be the only one capable of stopping Coyote now.

He stood up, heedless of the numbness in his legs. I will get out of here...and I will stop that virus.

Wolf decided he needed a new way of marking his path. Maybe if I wrote something on the walls as I walk by.

Listening to his PDAP's MP3 player, he got an idea. Walking along the walls, he began to inscribe the following:

"Way back when I was just a little bitty boy living in a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait shop
You know the place
well anyway, back then life was going swell and everything was just peachy

Except, of course, for the undeniable fact that every single morning
My mother would make me a big bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast

Awww - Big bowl of sauerkraut
Every single mornin
It wa driving me crazy

I said to my mom
I said "Hey, mom, what's with all the sauerkraut?"
And my dear, sweet mother
She just looked at my like a cow looks at an oncoming train
And she leaned right down next to me
And she said "IT'S GOOD FOR YOU"
And then she tied me to the wall and stuck a funnel in my mouth
And force fed me nothing but sauerkraut until I was twenty six and a half years old

That's when I swore that someday
Someday I would get outta that basement and travel to a magical, far away place
Where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer
And the towels are oh so fluffy
Where the shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles all day long
And anyone on the street will glady shave your back for a nickel

Wacka wacka doodoo yeah

Well, let me tell you, people, it wasn't long at all before my dream came true
Because the very next day, a local radio station had this contest
To see who could correctly guess the number of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I still won the grand prize
That's right, a first class one-way ticket to

Albuquerque
Albuquerque

Oh yeah
You know, I'd never been on a real airplane before
And I gotta tell ya, it was really great
Except that I had to sit between two large Albanian women with excruciatingly severe body odor
And the little kid in back of me kept throwin' up the whole time
The flight attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted peanuts
And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore
And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out
And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside
And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died
Except for me
You know why?

'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position"

He kept walking and inscribing, grinning madly.

OOC: I couldn't fit the full lyrics on to the page, and just imagine if Coyote decided to use That for his next target.

Monk took a deep breath and considered his options. Beyond him was a big black hole. Just... Black. Nothing else. He found a rock and threw it in, but it passed through, not making a sound hitting the ground, if there was ground at all. Shaking, he took a step towards the black, and reached out his hand. I am Monk... I can do anything... He reached foward, I have been taught to never fear, and to help those that are in need of help. He could feel cold coming from inside. Cold... I've only felt this twice before. Death. He grinned. "I've lived through it twice! Let's hope that third time isn't the charm!" Pulling his hand back, he lunged in, head first, fell for what seemed to be forever in black. Just... Black.

BOING! Monk could feel himself fall into something soft, gel like. He forced his eyes open to see a pink pile of Jell-o now surrounding him. Falling through it, he landed in green, then in blue, and the colors just continued. What the...? What is going on!? He fell through another when it all hit him. He was falling, the greatest danger to him, something he couldn't take. He closed his eyes and screamed as loud as he could, not knowing how far the bottom would be...

...if there was a bottom...
