<Hazard> ***************SIM BRIEF*************
<Hazard> Alright. Anyone not get the sim reminder?
<Hazard> yes. no. maybe so...
<Pegasus> i got it
<Takillya> I got it.
<Dragon> got it... i think :) Somewhere...
<Hazard> okay. good enough.
<Hazard> Pegs, Drags, and Volt. I'll cue you guys in later in the sim. The rest of us, we're in the chopper on our way to a nearby military base. this is right after our base got blown up.
<Hazard> Gumbo and Nightwulf are unconscious due to their injuries. Since they're not here. heh heh heh.
<Hazard> Any q's?
<Dragon> Nein
<Ripper> no
<Healer> nope
<Hazard> Okay. Like I said. this'll be short. I'm sorry.
<Hazard> *************SIM START***********
<Hazard> SCENE>GATHERED IN A GOVERNMENT CHOPPER BEING ESCORTED TO A NEARBY MILITARY INSTALLATION, THE MEMBERS OF X-FACTOR RECOVER FROM THEIR RECENT BATTLES (AND EXPLOSIONS).
<Ripper> ::sits in the seat and waits::
<Takillya> we need to find out who set that bomb and who sent that robot.
<Hazard> ::glances back at the unconscious forms of Gambit and NIGHTWULF:: and who sent and built that cyborg you mentioned..
<Takillya> anyone with an Internet access can figure out how to build a simple bomb, but building and programming a cyborg is much harder.
<Takillya> how complex was the bomb?
<Healer> ::looks around with no expression::
<Hazard> Just your basic bomb. ::mutters:: with all red wires..
<Hazard> Not very high tech, just effective.
<Takillya> ok, then it definitely wasn't a simple bomb.
<Hazard> And whoever planted it somehow knew where our base was and how to get inside without being noticed.
<Hazard> ACTION>THE CHOPPERS SLOWS AND BEGINS TO DESCEND
<Takillya> and the cyborg was most likely some type of Sentinel.
<Takillya> it knew how to get past our powers.
<Takillya> and it's voice was robotic.
<Hazard> ::looks out the window:: ((We're here.)) Then whoever sent it knew you'd be there
<Takillya> yeah.
<Takillya> which means that we were under surveillance at the base.
<Hazard> ACTION>THE CHOPPER TOUCHES DOWN ON THE PAD, THE BLADES CAN BE HEARD SLOWING
<Takillya> I'm thinking that "Uncle Sammy" might be responsible.
<Hazard> ::stands up:: maybe. But keep that to yourself for now.
<Takillya> of course.
<Healer> why would they be making it, don't they have something better to blow cash on?
<Hazard> ACTION>THE DOOR ON THE CHOPPER SLIDES OPEN, REVEALING COMMANDER DENNING, THEIR NEW CO, ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND NOT LOOKING HAPPY
<Ripper> ((uh oh))
<Takillya> ::points to Haz:: it wasn't my fault.
<Hazard> CmdrDenning> ::glares at the team:: Come with me. ::turns sharply and walks towards the building::
<Ripper> ::fwaps Tak::
<Hazard> Oh thanks. ::hops out of the chopper and follows the commander::
<Ripper> ::follows Denning::
<Healer> ::folows after Denning and the others::
<Healer> ::sighs::
<Takillya> ::shrugs and tries to look innocent:: what?
<Takillya> ::follows Haz::
<Hazard> SCENE>IN A FEW MOMENTS, THEY ARE ALL GATHERED IN DENNING'S OFFICE, WITH HIM SITTING BEHIND HIS DESK. TELEVION SCREENS ON THE WALL PLAY SCENES OF THE BATTLE AT THE CONFERENCE
<Hazard> CmdrDenning> ::motions to the screens:: This was on the news tonight.
<Healer> ::looks at the screens::
<Hazard> And this is surprising... how?
<Takillya> ::looks at the screens:: hey, they got my good side.
<Hazard> CmdrDenning> ::grabs a remote and switches the scene on one of the screens, showing a reporter talking
<Takillya> ::listens to the reporter::
<Hazard> Reporter> This recent terrorist act only strengthens the want and need for mutant control. Apparently a mutant terrorist attacked the conference, causing the deaths of 2 senators and various civilians...
<Hazard> ((Mutant..? It was a cyborg)) ::looks at the others::
<Takillya> mutant, my as$.
<Healer> they don't know what they're talking about half the time anyways....
<Takillya> if we hadn't had to get them to safety, they would've seen it was a cyborg.
<Hazard> CmdrDenning> And if that wasn't bad enough.. ::switches off the screen to one showing Takillya breaking the camera man's camera::::
<Ripper> oh great move Tak
<Takillya> well, the dude wouldn't listen.
<Takillya> besides, the last thing I needed was a human running around, getting himself killed, which would only make the situation just as bad.
<Healer> ::looks at the screen with Tak punching the camera::
<Hazard> CmdrDenning> Assaulting a civilian and destroying public property?!?! All of you were there to contain any terroist threats! Instead innocent civilians die and two of our own senators! not to mention the millions of dollors in property damage!!
<Hazard> ::graons and leans back against the wall:: They did the best they could!
<Takillya> excuse me! if we hadn't reacted when we did, more would've died!
<Takillya> that guy was ready for us.
<Takillya> we did all we could.
<Hazard> ACTION> INTERRUPTING THE ARGUEMENT, SENATOR JAMES BARGES INTO THE OFFICE
<Healer> ::sighs::
<Healer> you do our job then Mr. Denning.....
<Hazard> CmdrDenning> ::shuts up and stands straight:: Senator James, what are you..?
<Hazard> SenatorJames> ::nods to X-factor and then looks ay Denning:: I do hope I am interrupting.
<Ripper> ::glares at the senator::
<Hazard> ::looks at the senator curiously:: ((Err... who's this?))
<Healer> ::stares on patiently::
<Hazard> SenatorJames> Commander Denning, X-factor did to the best of their ability to stop the terrorist. And saved my own life. I regret that I was no conscious when they say it was revealed to be a cyborg but I believe them..
<Ripper> ::leans againts the wall::
<Hazard> CmdrDenning> but sir, I..
<Takillya> thank you, Senatro.
<Hazard> SenatorJames> ::waves off denning and looks back at X-factor:: You're dismissed. There is a jet waiting for you outside to take you to an air force base in D.C. There you will receive several new members. I have some things to discuss with our dear commander here. ::looks back at Denning::
<Takillya> ::walks outside and heads for the jet::
<Hazard> ((New members?? What?)) Err.. thanks. Come on guys. ::opens the door and walks out::
<Ripper> ::walks out::
<Healer> yall, i don't think I'm coming with you.....
<Hazard> ACTION>AS X-FACTOR EXITS, THEY HEAR ARGUING BACK IN THE OFFICE
<Takillya> ((memo to self: stop trying to save humans b/c it only gets you in trouble.))
<Hazard> ::looks at Healer:: Err.. what?
<Takillya> what you mean, Healer?
<Healer> i don't think I should go....
<Healer> It's getting pretty old
<Healer> plus....
<Healer> you'll be getting new members.....
<Hazard> Err.. if you want.. I'm sure the senator will give you transportation to where ever you want to go. Was nice having you on the team.. ::shrugs and continues down the hall::
<Takillya> ok, cya then.
<Takillya> ::heads on to where the jet is::
<Healer> bye....maybe i'll see you later....
<Ripper> ::pats Healer on the back:: good luck my friend
<Healer> ::walks towards the exit::
<Hazard> ACTION> A FIGURE HIDDEN IN THE SHADOWS WATCHES HEALER AND THE REST OF X-FACTOR GO SEPERATE WAYS
<Ripper> ::heads down the hall::
