****SIM BRIEF****
LAST SIM, IN OUR SEARCH FOR TAKILLYA....WE LOCATED HIS BROTHER AND DISCOVERED THAT HE HAD KIDNAPPED HIM BUT WOULD NOT GIVE UP ANY OTHER INFORMATION
BLINK SPLIT FROM THE TEAM AND DANTE WAS SENT TO FIND HER, THEY MET AT HQ AND DECIDED TO LOCATE TAK ON THEIR OWN USING X-FACTOR TRACKING EQUIPMENT
THE REST OF THE TEAM FOLLOWED TAKILLYA'S WEAKER BIO SIGNATURE TO AN ABANDONED WAREHOUSE IN SOHO WHERE THEY WERE AMBUSHED BY CUTE LITTLE KILLER ROBOTS
DANTE AND BLINK PORTED UNKNOWINGLY TO THE SAME FACILITY, BUT UNDERGROUND A BIT....THEY FOUND TAKILLYA IN, BUT HE WAS NOT HOW THEY REMEMBERED HIM

ACTION> DRAGON LOCKS ONTO DANTE ONE STORY UNDERGROUND
<Metatron> ::turns to Soap-Man, without moving his lips:: Where are you taking me young man?
<Soap-man> To the medbed
<Wolverine> +com+ Did you find Blink dante?
<Metatron> ::angered:: For what purpose? To heal me? I do not need healing!
<Dante> +com+ Not completely sure but I think we're in the same building as you. I got Tak and Blink here. They're both out cold after Tak attcked us.
<Metatron> ::Staggers:: Perhaps, I must gather my thoughts.
<Dragon> Dante's below us one story
<Wolverine> ::unsheaths his claws and slices into the floor repeatedly::
<Soap-man> O.K. you don't need it ::desintegrates hands:: I need some alcohol though

<Wolverine> ::yells into the hole:: can you hear me Dante!?
<Takillya> ::is out cold::
<Takillya> ...
<Dante> yeah I'm down here.
<Wolverine> ::leaps into the hole and finds Dante::
<Metatron> Why use alcohol on your cuts? Why not let them heal with no aid?
<Wolverine> ::looks around::
<Soap-man> I know drinking is not healthy, If I hadn't got my own internal alcohol problem I would be doing big hard soap thingees
<Metatron> ::turns away:: Did I need to know that?
<Soap-man> Because, it purifies them
<Metatron> Why not depend on the will of your creator?
<Wolverine> alright Dante, get Blink to the jet outside
<Soap-man> It kills germs
<Wolverine> and good work
<Soap-man> have you stopped and wonder why alcohol is bad?
<Metatron> Healing with the means of man kind is bad!
<Wolverine> ::kneels down next to Takillya::
<Dante> ::nods and changes his arms and body back to pick up Blink.::
<Metatron> Pain is a part of life . . .

<Metatron> ::coldly:: Yes.
<Wolverine> +com+ Dragon and I will be up with Tak in a moment Saop-man, set co-ordinates for base
<Metatron> Have you ever taken a life Soap-Man?
<Soap-man> Not directly, but, in a way
<Wolverine> ::looks at Dragon:: what do you make of the gettup ::refering to Tak's armor::
<Dante> ::flies up with Blink::
<Soap-man> +com+ Okie Dokie
<Dragon> ::shrugs:: Fashion designer had a hangover?
<Metatron> So you've never exerted yourself on another to kill them?
<Wolverine> ::lifts off Taks helmet and eyes widen::
<Soap-man> ::sits in pilot chair and sets the cordinates to the HQ:: +com+ Where was it*
<Dragon> ::looks over Wolvie's shoulder::
<Soap-man> Nope
ACTION> BEFORE DRAGON AND WOLVERINE LIES TAKILLYA, BUT HE LOOKS MUCH YOUNGER
<Dragon> Wha...
<Metatron> I can tell that the Wolverine has, he seems like such a nice man. But his soul . . is not . . . pure.
<Soap-man> Look mister Flanders. If we evolutioned so far to prevent cancer, it's because god wanted it, we don't depend on him. We grew up
<Wolverine> I guess this explains the weaker signal...or maybe the coccoon over there muffled the signal
<Metatron> ::shocked:: By the seven screams of Milina!
<Wolverine> let's go Dragon
<Dante> ::gets Blink settled on the plane then changes completely back.::
<Wolverine> ::picks up Takillya::
<Soap-man> Who's milina?

ACTION> FINALLY ALL MEMBERS OF X-FACTOR ARE ON BOARD THE JET
<Metatron> but that is not of importance.

<Wolverine> ::sets Takillya in a med-bed next to Blink::
<Metatron> ::turns away from the group coldly and takes his seat::
<Wolverine> ::nods to Soap-man to hit the throttle::
<Wolverine> your arm ok?
<Soap-man> Yup
<Wolverine> good, use it to change course for Muir Island
<Soap-man> ::hits throtle::
<Soap-man> ::changes coordinates::
<Metatron> ::pulls his hood further of his head and closes his eyes::
<Wolverine> ::paces the lenth of the jet::
<Wolverine> alright everyone, it's late and w'ere about to experience jet lag so sleep if you can
<Soap-man> ::gets the scrap to fly::
<Dragon> ::curls up by a window and closes her eyes::
<Dante> ::gets comfortable in his seat.::
<Wolverine> ::stands next to Metatron and leans up against the window::
<Soap-man> Remember to buckle!!
<Metatron> ::pulls his hood over his eyes and wraps his cloak around him::
<Dante> Wolverine are blink and Tak alright?
<Soap-man> ::sets the autopilot::
<Wolverine> Blink'll be fine, girl just can't take much of a beating before passing out
<Soap-man> ::looks at the map to see if it's going in the right direction::
<Metatron> ::listens to the conversation quietly::
<Wolverine> Takillya....well, we'll let Moira fill us in on that
<Soap-man> We're gong right
ACTION> HEADING CHECKS OUT ALRIGHT
<Wolverine> ::to Metatron:: nice trick back there bub
<Metatron> I felt is was necessary to remove the influence of the robots.
<Wolverine> one question though ::pauses:: what would've happened if one of us were sucked in?
<Metatron> Wolverine . . .
<Soap-man> phew
<Dragon> ::shifts in her seat::((man, i wish i'd brought a psionic dampener along... i can't sleep with all the mental activity so close by))
<Metatron> The Dark Force dimention acts as judgement.
<Metatron> The pain you've inflicted on those around you would be felt by you.
<Metatron> Over and over and over again . . . every raw emotion, every sad song, every rake of claw and every chunk of flesh.
<Soap-man> +com+ Is there need for speed?
<Metatron> It is a very Dark Place ::puts his head down:: I only wish that I did not have to return their.
<Wolverine> +com+ not really Soap-man
<Soap-man> +com+ O.K.
<Soap-man> ::turns the buckle light on::
<Wolverine> ::lights a cigar:: nice story Metatron.....don't pull a move like that again, unless I give the word
<Soap-man> ::waits a minute::
<Metatron> It was a move that I knew possessed an element of risk.
<Wolverine> ::walks to the back of the plane and smokes in silence::
<Metatron> Yet I executed it to save your lives, which goes against my every principle.
<Metatron> ((I will not make that mistake again.))
<Soap-man> ::increases speed at medium(180 km per hour)::
ACTION> THE REST OF THE RIDE IS SPENT IN SILENCE AND SOAP-MAN FINALLY BRINGS THE PLANE TO MUIR ISLAND AND LANDS IT JUST AS THE SUN IS RISING
<Soap-man> ::yawns::

<Dragon> ::glares at her toes and considers not getting up::
<Takillya> ...
<Wolverine> ::deboards plane with Dante:: figured it might be Nanny behind this...thank you Dante

SETTING> THE GROUP HAS NOW GATHERED AROUND THE BREAKFAST TABLE
<Wolverine> ::seated:: what's the word Moira?
<Dante> ::glances around the table.::
<Moira> the lass ye brought me will be fine except for a headache....recruiting young ones these days aren't you?
<Wolverine> ::dismisses the comment::
<Moira> ye are right about the lad....Nanny has had her way with him, the age regression process was disrupted though, so the brainwashing will nay be perminant
<Soap-man> ( What's that accent she has got. I don't understand)
<Metatron> Who is this Nanny person?
<Dragon> ::picks up fragments of Soap's thought:: {{it's commonly known as a Scottish accent. We are in Scotland, you know...}} ::grins::
<Wolverine> ::to Metatron:: she's a messed up robot bent on taking care of mutants
<Soap-man> Some nanny who didn't get paid enough and went bad
<Soap-man> (Oh yeah)
<Dante> She did say all her 'children' return. Maybe she'll come after Tak.
<Metatron> ::not moving his lips:: What do you mean by taking care of?
<Wolverine> she thinks she can keep mutants by being their "nanny" forever
<Soap-man> good point
<Metatron> Most human mothers do that as well.
<Soap-man> Metatron: that's bad manners
<Wolverine> alright Dante, you have a good point
<Metatron> ::not moving his lips:: What do you mean?
<Wolverine> ::looks at Dragon who has been all too quiet::
<Metatron> ::not moving his lips:: I fear I shall never understand you Soap-Man.
<Wolverine> ::finishes his breakfast::
<Dragon> ::snaps out of her drowse for a moment::
<Soap-man> I mean that what you'r doing now
<Metatron> ::not moving his lips:: I'm sorry but I just don't eat.
<Wolverine> ::sniffs:: mornin' Tak

<Wolverine> ::stands from his chair and approaches Takillya::
<Soap-man> Hi Tak, Long time no see

<Wolverine> I got word from Nick Fury.....Rolfe has moved over-seas, here...somewhere in Europe
<Soap-man> What, does Tak have Acne or something?
<Takillya> do I have somethingon my face?
<Metatron> ::stares at Takillya with no emotion::
<Takillya> why are you guys staring at me?
<Soap-man> OIC
<Wolverine> ::holds up his hand and let's a claw pop out in front of Soap's face, it shimmers with the reflection of the sun through the window:: we have a score to settle with him
