Cyber Wars Ch. 9: Time Crisis
 

OOC: Here be a new chapter.

BIC: Wolf opened his closet and changed into woodland camoflauge fatigues. He also threw on a kevlar flak jacket. He then took out a duffel bag containing special forces wall climbing equipment. He also threw an old service jacket of his into the duffel, and then he donned his trenchcoat. Grabbing his PDAP, Katana, duffel bag, and codec radio, he headed down to the armory.

Let's see what I want for this mission... he thought.

He grabbed two Colt .45s, loaded them, attached silencers, and holstered them. He also grabbed an M9 tranquilizer pistol and put it into his ankle holster. He also picked up an M16, loaded that, and attached a silencer before slinging it over his shoulder. Finally, he added a PSG-1S Sniper Rifle.

Even with the new silencer it could alert guards...but I want to be able to take out any sentries from afar. Wolf thought as he slung it over his shoulder.

He pocketed a few extra clips for all his guns except the M9, and then he headed toward the hangar, where Daishi was waiting.

As Wolf settled into the cockpit, and threw the duffel into the RIO seat, KAMO came online.

"Did Beowulf brief you on the situation?" Wolf asked

"Yes, and I understand the mission. Everything is ready, we are clear to go at any time. I've already got us lined up for CAP right now...so they shouldn't be too suspicious"

"Excellent work. Now let's get out there and save Katlin."

Just as he was about to close the canopy, the General ran up to the jet. "Where the hell do you think you're going, Major?"

"I'm on CAP today, the duty records say so."

"Bullshit they do! You're little AI friend there put those records in there, we already checked! If you're going on some kind of personal vendetta..."

"Look...I don't have time to explain right now. If, after I get back, you still want to court-martial me...then so be it."

Wolf closed the canopy door and Daishi began to take off. The General ran for cover.

"He really doesn't look too happy." Beowulf said as the jet rocketed into the sky, headed for Boston.

"Yeah, well...right now we're on a tight time schedule here...and he isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the chandelier. I'll explain things to him when I return."

"Y34-#4w!!!" Tycho said.

"7#15 50 c001!!!" Gabe said soon after.

(( Batgirl: You know, I really hadn't given that much thought last night... buuuuuuuuuuuuuut... >=) ))

Wraith narrows his eyes at the man on the monitor. "It's been a long time..."

"Yes, it has..." he replies.

"Still up to your old tricks?"

"Why don't you try me and we'll see?"

Wraith answers mockingly, "Just don't get yourself burned, old man..."

And then both of them start hammering on the controls in front of them, each desperately trying to get their pieces to their goals in the crazy computer game between them.

"Ha! Eat my dust, old man!" Wraith taunts with a grin.

"In your dreams, SUCKER!"

OOC: Um...I'm not really sure where the Cyber Force base is located...so...

BIC: The OTAV was now passing over the Midwest US, undectabale by radar. KAMO was handling piloting the jet, so Wolf took the time to listen to Beowulf's after action report on the battle at the mansion.

"So...Smith really said that about Jade?" Wolf asked

"Yes...pretty creepy huh?" Beowulf said.

"More like disgusting...I'm glad Monk and Jade kicked their asses." Wolf paused. "You don't think they'd try that with Katlin...would they?"

"If they really wanted to piss you off...then yes. But oddly, Mastermind fears reprisals from you...otherwise she would be dead, now wouldn't she? So, long story short, I'd say she's safe from Smith's psychotic advances."

"You're right." Wolf replied with an inward sigh of relief. "By the way, how are our two specialists fitting in?"

"They're a little immature, but I guess that they have the right talents for this mission."

"Fair enough." Wolf said. He adressed the two specialists. "Tycho, Gabe: What exactly are you two capable of?"

OOC: Tycho and Gabe...stroke of genius there JADGuy.

"1'm 4 w47c#3r." Tycho said.
"1'm 4 c0rrup73r." Gabe finished. The two Virii high fived.

"Hm...a lookout and a hacker...excellent. Okay, I want you two to understand that Beowulf has overall command of your part of the operation. I want you to follow his orders. He'll know where you two will help out the most."

As Jade walked down the hall, the ire welled up inside her. Why did Monk have to be such a moron? Furthermore, why did Dr. Oedupe let him leave? He knew full well that Monk was in no condition to fight. She reached Monk's door and barged in. "Dr. I have a bone to pick with you!"

OOC: Uh oh, you made her mad....Hulllkkkk SMASH!!

OOC: Uh... Aw crap... how am I gonna type my way out of this one?

Dr. Oedupe stood up and tried his best to escort her out of the room. "Please... He needs to rest. Will you...?"

A weak voice came from behind them, "No... let her in."

The Doc turned and looked at Monk, now stirring in bed, well, his head anyway. "Are you sure? She looks mad..."

Monk smiled, "No worries. She won't kill me. And anyway... you'll be nearby. If you hear me scream, you can come and save my life again. That, and I have the call button. If I push that... you'll know I need help."

"If she lets you." Dr. Oedupe raised his eyebrow.

"That is true. Stick nearby. If I scream... come and save me." The doctor took a quick look between the two parties and walked out of the room quickly. Monk watched with a smile as the doc left, but soon wiped it clean from his face as soon as the door closed. "Please... let me explain..." But Jade cut him off.

OCC: She better... (Shakes fist)

Presently, the OTAV arrived near the installation. It was a nondescript gray structure, which could've easily been mistaken for a industrial complex of some kind. A small forest surrounding the base. As KAMO activated the mech mode, and brought Daishi in for a landing just outside sensor range at the edge of the forest, he gave a report.

"I made a passive scan of the base. I still don't know if there are any VTOLS on the landing field, but I did pick up two Chinook transport choppers in low-power mode on the helipads."

"Damn. Do you think they may intend to be moving some of the people imprisioned here?"

"In all likelyhood, yes."

"So if you raise an alarm, they might try to move Katlin out of here before we can free her." Beowulf said.

"Well then...I'll just have to be extra careful not to let that happen." Wolf said as he opened the canopy, donned the climbing claws he brought with him, loaded up his weapons and equipment, and headed out into the forest, PSG1-S at the ready.

"W3 wi11 3n73r 7#r0u6# 4 b4ckd00r." The specialists said. They had it appeared started an instant pestering conversation with a guard inside and were now attempting to send a pic titled mysexybaud.jpeg Gabe hoped into the pics icon and disappeared. Tycho sent the picture.

"My Br07#3r 15 1n51d3." Tycho said. Soon a door appeared. Tycho opened it. "C0m1n6 B30wu1ph?"
