<Dragon> SHIELD AGENTS HAVE SURROUNDED THE BASE, BUT CANNOT GAIN ACCESS... YET. CRUDE IS WITH THE TEAM, AND THE REMAINING BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS ARE IN THE MEDLAB OR SECURITY CELLS. A PRIORITY CALL ON THE COM-LINE, FROM SHIELD, HAS BEEN FLASHING FOR SOME TIME. BISHOP, AFTER AIDING THE TEAM UPON THEIR ARRIVAL, LEFT TO RESPOND TO ANOTHER SITUATION.
**********SIM START***********
<Dragon> SCENE> EVERYONE HAS GATHERED IN THE WAR ROOM, AND THE SECURITY MONITORS SHOW SHIELD AGENTS SURROUNDING THE BASE, AND WEAPONS TRAINED ON EVERY EXIT. THE COMSIGNAL FROM SHIELD CONTINUES TO FLASH.
<Takillya> hmm...what a predicament.
<Frost> ::folds her arms:: I can take them all down if necessary..::smirks slightly::
<Ripper> ::grins:: time to play ::grabs a few weapons::
<Dragon> ::glances at the signal:: I suppose we should answer that...
<Frost> what's the point?
<Torrent> ::looks at the Shield agents::I have never done anything like this before.
<Ripper> well your about to my boy ::looking at Torrent::
<Crude> ::stays in the back of the room, staring at the monitors:: Daamn.. Brotherhood had less trouble with SHIELD...
<Dragon> The point? ::shrugs:: If it's Fury or Bridge, they might be more inclined to back off.
<Takillya> Drags, shouldn't someone take Crude and watch him and the other Bortherhood and Mystique?
<Frost> When dealing with Bridge..I doubt it..as for Fury..We can find out
<Dragon> ::glances at Tak:: I scanned Crude. He's telling the truth.
<Soap-man> yeah, why is he here anyways?
<Crude> ::smiles smugly::
<Dragon> ::taps the com-signal to bring it online::
<Dragon> ACTION> NICK FURY'S FACE APPEARS ON THE SCREEN, LOOKING ANNOYED.
<Dragon> Fury> Dammit, people, what were you thinking?? You were instructed to hand Mystique and Kerr into SHIELD custody hours ago. Now half the bureaucrats in Washington have gotten wind of this and are out for blood. Commander Denning's about to lose his job, if something doesn't change drastically in the next 5 minutes.
<Takillya> drastically?
<Crude> ::waves at Fury from behind the group::
<Frost> ::smiles:: that can be arranged Fury..
<Soap-man> Why don't we just do what the one-eyed man says?
<Dragon> Fury> ::glares:: Tell me you didn't lose them...
<Takillya> Fury, we've been having some trouble and we needed Mystique and Kerr.
<Frost> ::folds her arms and sits back, keeping a steady eye on Fury::
<Ripper> ::grins:: we didnt lose them
<Takillya> nah, we got 'em.
<Takillya> guys, shouldn't we go ahead and hand over Kerr and mystique though?
<Takillya> we don't need 'em anymore.
<Torrent> ::watches the ongoing conversation not knowing what to do::
<Soap-man> why don't we send them all in?
<Dragon> Fury> ::relaxes slightly:: I want any prisoners you have, handed over to those agents outside your door, this minute. I'll notify them of the change.
<Frost> {{Refrain from openly discussing this in front of Fury Takillya..}}
<Crude> ::looks around the war room, grins on his face::
<Takillya> ((I've said nothing of importance to Fury))
<Soap-man> ::looks at Crude:: what is this guy so happy about?
<Takillya> ((he's a good guy and would do his best to help us if we needed him.))
<Dragon> Fury> ::presses a button:: SHIELD out. ::screen fades dark::
<Frost> ::laughs to herself quietly::
<<Crude> I'm a happy person. ::looks at Drags:: So does that mean me too?
<Dragon> ::shakes her head at Crude:: Nah, if they take off with you, they'll never let you out of the paperwork...
<Frost> ::glances at Drags:: What's your decision?
<Dragon> Decision on what? ::looks up, blankly::
<Takillya> should we give them Mystique and Kerr?
<Crude> Oooh. ::shudders:: Paperwork...
<Dragon> Of course we have to give them Mystique and Kerr... we only kept them as bargaining tools, anyways
<Dragon> Let's hurry before they start firing chunks out of the walls.
<Frost> We dont have a lot of choice. Well, let's handle this situation then
<Ripper> shall i go get 'em?
<Dragon> ::glances at the security monitors outside the walls, showing SHIELD agents posted entirely around the base::
<Dragon> ::nods to Ripper:: I'll go to the medlab and bring the others.
<Crude> ::looks around:: Anything... I can help with?
<Takillya> ::shakes his head::
<Soap-man> what are we going to do with the other guys?
<Ripper> ::heads down the the holding cell to get Mystique and Kerr::
<Dragon> ::walks out of the war room, heading toward the medlab::
<Frost> ::glares at the agents as they walk by::
<Torrent> ::looks at the agents worried::
<Takillya> ::goes with Rip::
<Frost> ::psi scans Mystique and Kerr's minds briefly::
<Ripper> ::reaches the holding cell and opens it:: ok lets go Mysty...you too Kerr
<Crude> ::shrugs and slides into one of the seats:: Guess not
<Frost> {{Mystique: Enjoy your time in the Vault Raven..}}::smiles broadly::
<Soap-man> ::follows the others::
<Takillya> ::grabs Kerr::
<Ripper> ::grabs Mystique and heads up to meet up with Drags::
<Dragon> ::returns shortly, with thoroughly sedated Hiss, Tiny, and Gemini::
<Polaris> ::glances at Drags as she comes back:: Watch them....they might bite in their sleep.
<Takillya> ::has Kerr's hands behind her back firmly::
<Crude> ::pours out of his seat, sliding over to the others and rising into his humanoid form::
<Dragon> ACTION> OUTSIDE THE MAIN DOOR, SEVERAL AGENTS HAVE THEIR WEAPONS TRAINED ON THE EXIT, STANDING IN A DEFENSIVE FORMATION
<Polaris> ::looks up at the screen showing the guards:: How nice.. They love us so much they don't want us to leave.
<Dragon> ::gingerly opens the door, glancing out at the agents:: ((they seem awfully tense, for a bunch that just got told to chill out by Fury...))
<Soap-man> ::follows the others::
<Takillya> Frost, do youthink you could kinda calm them down?
<Ripper> ::reaches the door:: oh like that'll help them
<Torrent> ((I feel something bad is going to happen))::walks over near the exit just in case::
<Dragon> ::looks around at the agents:: We have the Brotherhood members... um... several are in rather unstable condition, medically... you might want to get them out of here quickly
<Frost> a concentrated number like that? They're well trained against things of that sort. It makes no difference anyways..
<Crude> ::smiles and waves at Kerr:: Have fun in prison.. ::moves towards the exit, poking his head out by the doorway and looking at the agents:: Yikes...
<Ripper> who do we send to them first?
<Polaris> ::walks over behind the exit, watching the procedures::
<Frost> ::glances at Polaris:: you've got the experience in government stuff, correct?
<Dragon> ::blinks when none of the agents step forward, then shrugs and lets the hovercarts carrying Hiss and the others stop::
<Soap-man> we're going to send them all in, aren't we?
<Dragon> ::takes a step back toward the door:: ((geez, these people are too anal...))
<Polaris> ::looks at Frost:: Experience? ahh.... I don't know if that's the right word for it...
<Dragon> Agent> FREEZE!
<Torrent> ((Uh boss-lady I think you are a psi. If you are can you hear me?))
<Soap-man> ::stops::
<Frost> ::glares at the Agent:: dont even think about it idiot..
<Takillya> Freeze?
<Takillya> ::smiles at Frost::
<Dragon> ACTION> THE SOUND OF QUITE A FEW WEAPONS BEING COCKED IS RATHER AUDIBLE
<Torrent> ::hears the agent and starts to create a water blast::
<Crude> Wuh oh! ::pulls himself back through the exit::
<Ripper> ::stops with his hand on a knife::
<Polaris> ::freezes in place:: I didn't do it.. ::looks around:: Don't shoot!
<Takillya> hey, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
<Frost> we brought you the members, now leave
<Dragon> ::frowns:: What's the problem? ::focuses on an agent with a badge::
<Frost> {{Dane..can you disable their weapons when signaled?}}
<Dragon> Agent> You are under arrest by order of the United States Government... come peacefully, or we'll be forced to disable you.
<Ripper> ::grins::
<Takillya> peacefully...hmm.
<Frost> on what charges?
<Crude> ::sticks his head through the doorway:: Double cross! Big surprise! I'm writing a letter to my congressman!
<Polaris> ::glances around at the agents weapons:: ((Depends on the types of weapons..if they're computerized, I can short them out..otherwise, I can use plain magnetic whammies..but that's much messier..))
<Torrent> ::peaks outside and then walks around the base looking for anything to put up the defenses::
<Dragon> Agent> ::glances at Frost:: Direct action in opposition to orders.
<Dragon> ACTION> SEVERAL AGENTS MOVE TOWARD TORRENT THREATENINGLY, MOTIONING FOR HIM TO STOP
<Takillya> ::smiles:: let me ask you a question...
<Frost> that's a load of bull
<Crude> ::shrugs:: He's got you guys there. ::Stays by the exit::
<Takillya> how muhc do you guys get paid for this?
<Torrent> ::stops::
<Polaris> ::smiles:: Now, why would you want to arrest little old me?
<Ripper> ::looks at the agent:: and because of it we got these ::points to the ones on the carts::
<Torrent> ::turns and glares at the agents::
<Frost> I've had about enough of your crap
<Dragon> Agent> ::scowls:: If you don't come with us now, we will be forced to open fire.
<Takillya> belive me, sir, you do NOT want to do that.
<Frost> ::glances at Dragon:: {{well?}}
<Torrent> ((I hope somebody here has a shield))
<Polaris> Oh, pishaw! You're just playing with us... ::grins widely::
<Soap-man> I want to make a phone call
<Dragon> ::shakes her head very slightly:: {{I can't understand why they're doing this... It's like Fury's orders never got through}}
<Ripper> gonna call your mommy Soap?
<Frost> {{Want me to handle them?}}
<Soap-man> Gonna call my lawyer, not many difference though
<Ripper> ::laughs::
<Takillya> ((Drags? can you hear me?))
<Ripper> your mom would prolly do more
<Polaris> ::taps her foot on the ground, yawning:: Okay, can we just skip the whole confrentational scene and we can just go back inside?
<Frost> You SHIELD agents are making a big mistake::smiles::
<Dragon> ::to Frost:: {{I highly doubt that these agents would come unprepared to deal with telepathic attack...}}
<Dragon> ::to Tak:: {{Yeah, I hear you... what?}}
<Takillya> ((Dragon?!?))
<Frost> {{Child, I live for unpredictibility..I've got many tricks up my sleeve}}
<Polaris> ::starts talking to one of the agents:: You know, I would put my hands up, but I'm afraid my arms would get tired.
<Takillya> ((Polaris and I could disarm these bozos without much injury.))
<Takillya> ((what should we do?))
<Ripper> ::lets go of Myst and motions for tak to do the same with Kerr::
<Dragon> ACTION> THE AGENT WITH THE BADGE FIRES A SHORT BLAST FROM A LASER RIFLE, WARNINGLY AT THEIR FEET
<Crude> ::hums the jeopardy music quietly::
<Torrent> ::jumps a little from the suprise::
<Polaris> Hey now! ::jumps back:: Not nice at all! Play by the rules!
<Takillya> ::lets go of Kerr::
<Soap-man> ::turns into soap-bubbles::
<Crude> ::looks downa t the scorch mark left from the blast:: Ohhh if i paid taxes I'd be very upset by all this.. I still am... just not as upset.
<Dragon> ::mutters:: So much for trying to be reasonable... ::wrenches the heat patterns around her to form a fireball in each hand:: Back inside, Now!!
<Frost> there's your first mistake::sends a wide ranged psychic attack on all the nearby agents, making them drop their weapons and get dizzy::
<Ripper> ::throws a knife aiming for just above the Agents head::
<Takillya> ::emits a force wave to knock the agents over and jumps inside:
<Dragon> ACTION> THE AGENTS ARE WEARING PSIONIC NEUTRALIZING DEVICES, MINIMIZING THE EFFECT OF FROST'S DISORIENTATING BLAST
<Ripper> ::backs up inside the base::
<Frost> ((Let's try something else)) ::runs into the base::
<Polaris> ::throwing up a forcefield 'round herself, tries to neutralize the agents' high-tech weapons by shorting them out with a very nice magnetic wave:: :)
<Dragon> ::sees that Tak made it inside:: {{Contact Fury, and tell him what's going on!}}
<Crude> Good plan! ::drops into a puddle and slides inside the base::
<Takillya> ((ok!))
<Soap-man> ::makes the floor slippery benath de agents::
<Takillya> ::heads for the comm room::
<Dragon> ::throws up a tk shield, deflecting several more laser blasts::
<Frost> {{Polaris, can you try to disable their psychic dampeners?}}
<Torrent> ::shoots high-pressured water blasts at the agents armor trying to short it out::
<Crude> ::takes a humanoid form once he's inside the base, glancing back outside at the battle::
<Polaris> ((Sure...why not?)) ::increases the range of the magnetic wave to affect the psionic dampeners::
<Takillya> ::reaches the comm room and starts trying to get Fury to answer::
<Dragon> ::backs inside as quickly as she can::
<Ripper> ::heads straight for the war room and ativates the defenses::
<Dragon> ACTION> SEVERAL PSIONIC DAMPENERS SPARK AND SHORT OUT, BUT THE OTHERS ADJUST IN TIME
<Frost> ::sends a powerful psi blast at them again::
<Dragon> ***********INTERLUDE**************
<Dragon> SCENE> OUTSIDE THE BASE, PAST SEVERAL SQUADS OF SHIELD AGENTS, A SMALL FOREST ROAD WINDS BY THE INSTALLATION.
<Dragon> ACTION> A HIGH-PITCHED WHINING OF A MOTOR APPROACHES, AND SEVERAL AGENTS LOOK UP, RAISING THEIR WEAPONS WARNINGLY
<Dragon> Agent1> That road was supposed to be blocked off... no one should be getting near here.
<Dragon> Agent2> ::shrugs:: Ask Harris... he's in charge.
<Dragon> Agent1> ::speaks briefly into a wrist com-unit, then turns back to his partner:: The area's been sealed off... whoever's coming certainly isn't legit.
<Wildchild> ::Jumps from his bike, admist the two agents, slashing with his claws:: Sorry, boys, but it looks like I'm crashin' th' party!

<Polaris> ::notices people going back into the base:: *gulp* Maybe I'll join them.. ::ducks back through the door::
<Takillya> Fury!
<Torrent> I thought this place had like mega-defenses? ::looks around::
<Takillya> I thought you were gonna call off your goons.
<Dragon> Fury> ::patient puff on his cigar:: I did.
<Frost> Then why are they attacking us?
<Dragon> Fury> ::quirks an eyebrow:: What?
<Takillya> we are under attack. we tried to give them Mystique and the others but they tried to arrest us.
<Crude> ::moves past Torrent:: Hey, we're stilla live so they gotta be doign something
<Wildchild> ::Rides his bike up a large slope, behind the agents, and flies into the air, jumping off the bike, angling it, to crash into some agents, while he dives in amongst another set of agents, kicking, slashing and growling:: Th' Calvary's here, gang!
<Ripper> ::starts bring up the defensive measures::
<Dragon> Fury> ::tosses his cigar to the side:: Aw sh*t... ::stands up, leaving the com screen empty and silent::
<Polaris> ::watches the screen, blinking:: Some people have no control over their people.
<Frost> ::closes her eyes:: I sense another presence..
<Soap-man> Why is Crude still with us
<Takillya> Fury?
<Dragon> ACTION> THE AGENTS ARE CAUGHT OFFGUARD BY THE ATTACK FROM THE REAR, AND LOSE FOCUS MOMENTARILY, WHIRLING TO FACE WC'S ATTACK
<Crude> And they're trying to arret you guys for disobeying orders? ::snickers, looking at the blank screen::

<Frost> Wildchild.
<Torrent> Uh I guess he is a good guy. So...shouldn't we help him?
<Dragon> ACTION> THE LASER DEFENSE SYSTEM KICKS IN, AND SEVERAL AGENTS ARE QUICKLY TAKEN OUT OF COMMISSION BEFORE THEY REGROUP BEHIND THEIR HOVERCARS
<Wildchild> ::Jumps into the air, trying to land a kick on one agent's face, while slashing at another agent, with his claws:: They sure don't make SHIELD Agents like they used ta..::Lets loose a low growl::

<Dragon> ACTION> SEVERAL LASERS TARGET WILDCHILD AND FIRE
<Ripper> oooops
<Takillya> +com+ Fury's trying to take care of his agents. we need to help Wildchild out there.
<Wildchild> Yipe! ::Does a few backflips, to try and dodge the lasers:: Terrific..
<Crude> ::watches the screen:: Nice defenses...
<Frost> I'll try another psi attack::closes her eyes, focusing on the SHIELD agents in sight on the monitor and psi blasts them::
<Takillya> ::looks to see if he can deactivate the lasers::
<Polaris> ::sighs again:: Guess he's gonna need our help.. ::heads back out the door, throwing up her magnetic forcefield again:: I'm back!

<Dragon> ACTION> THE AGENT WITH THE BADGE SHRIEKS SUDDENLY, COWERING
<Takillya> ::lets Ripper work::

<Ripper> ::finally gets the lasers to stop shooting at WC::
<Torrent> ::sends water blasts at the ground below the agent's to make the ground muddy::

<Dragon> ACTION> THE AGENT WITH THE BADGE IS CURLED UP ON THE GROUND, WHIMPERING
<Ripper> ::cuts the lasers but keeps his finger on the ativate button::
<Frost> ::sits back, somewhat exhausted, and finally let's off on her attack::
<Takillya> Rip, this doesn't seem right. those guys that attackd us aren't behaving like SHIELD agents. impostors perhaps?
<Takillya> or renegade agents?
<Polaris> ::walks up to the official-looking man:: Mind telling me what's going on here?
<Dragon> Official> X-Factor, I presume? ::glances from them, to the agent curled up on the ground:: Agent Harris is under arrest, that's what.
<Takillya> Fury said he had sent orders for them to stand down but they didn;t.
<Soap-man> so maybe these are the wrong agents
<Ripper> yeah...but when he answered the com line....it just didnt seem right
<Torrent> ::looks a little serener and powers down his water blasts::
<Soap-man> maybe they're cia
<Wildchild> ::Glances at X-Force, walking over, towards the Agent:: I do all the hard work, eh? ::Chuckles:: Harris had his own agenda, but he's real..Just corrupt.
<Dragon> Official> ::motions to the remaining agents:: At ease. Your CO here gave you some unofficial orders.
<Ripper> without knowing who it was he said "what now...dont tell me they got away"
<Crude> ::rises higher, his lower body stretching and molding together:: Ahh .. arresting the right guy now! ::folds his arms::
<Polaris> Correct... ::looks at the official-like guy:: Don't you people have any control?
<Takillya> I asked for him.
<Takillya> he knew it was us.
<Ripper> oh ok
<Dragon> Official> I could say the same for you. If you'd handed over the prisoners in the first place, this would have been avoided.
<Crude> ::sinks back down:: ((Ohhh they might want to take me in as well...))
<Dragon> ::sighs and looks around at the torn-up lawn:: Well, you've got your prisoners, plus a few, now. {{Crude... stay out of sight, for now}}
<Frost> ::folds her arms, eyeing her handiwork:: S'what he got for messing with X-Factor
<Wildchild> Well, looks like my work is done. ::Stuffs his hands in the pockets of his trenchcoat, then suddenly sniffs the air::
<Crude> ((Gotcha.)) ::sinks into the shadows, his pitch form disappearing::
<Dragon> ::glances at Wildchild:: Why'd you come here, anyways? You used to be a member, no?
<Polaris> ::glares at the agent:: How do you think you can blame this on us? ::shakes her head::
<Wildchild> ::Eyes narrow, turning towards the shadows, catching the pitch form just as it appears:: ((Wha..?)) ::Glances at Dragon:: Yup. Fury gave me a call, to come meet ya guys here..also to join back up.
<Dragon> ACTION> SOME OF THE UNINJURED AGENTS COME FORWARD TO TAKE MYSTIQUE, KERR, AND THE OTHERS
<Takillya> all right, wb to the team, WC.
<Wildchild> ::Glances over at the injured agents:: Oh yeah..Sorry 'bout that..Look at it, this way..ya get sick leave.
<Dragon> Agent> ::limps past, eyeing them nervously, and bandaging several long slashes on his arm::
<Soap-man> the're taking them away
<Dragon> I know they are, Soap.
<Crude> ::watches the agents take his former teammates away from the shadows, frowning::
<Wildchild> ::Glances at Tak:: Thanks. Doubt I'm the only member of the old X-Factor they called, either. ::Glances towards Polaris:: Hey Lorn. Long time no see.
<Dragon> Official> ::turns back to X-Factor:: Our apologies for the misunderstanding... but in the future, please follow orders as they are given.
<Frost> oh sure..::rolls her eyes::
<Frost> or else be destroyed eh?
<Soap-man> I'm here WC
<Ripper> ::walks out of the war room and towards the door::
<Torrent> ::looks around at everyone feeling out-of-place::
<Takillya> yeah, is Wolvie was here, it'd be like a reunion.
<Ripper> ::walks outside::
<Wildchild> ::Glances at Soap:: Yeah..so ya are.
<Frost> ::slowly walks back towards the base::
<Soap-man> but he's with Shield
<Ripper> 'bout time those jerks got it right
<Dragon> ::nods to the official, and heads back toward the building:: We've still got Hazard to find...
<Soap-man> maybe he's up in the helicarrier
<Frost> ::glances at Ripper as she walks by:: Thank me later.
<Takillya> so, WC, tell me whatcha been doing after you left the team?
<Wildchild> ::Glances at Tak:: Stuff. ::Starts to walk towards the base:: So where's my room?
<Torrent> ::goes over and sits down away from the team and sighs::
<Crude> ::keeps himself hidden in the sahadows, waiting for SHIELD to depart:: ((Seeing your friends get arrested kinda... sucks..)) ::watches some of the others head back inside::
<Takillya> ::glances at Drags:: DO we have an empty room?
<Dragon> ::glances at Crude:: {{Friends?}} ::looks back at Tak:: Are you kidding? We've hardly touched most of the base.
<Takillya> oh, ok.
<Ripper> i dont think so..looks like hes on the couch
<Ripper> ::grins::
<Frost> ::walks into the warroom and sits in one of the chairs silently::
<Wildchild> ::Stops, near the door, sniffing the air, and glancing directly at Crude and grinning, before heading inside::
<Dragon> ::re-enters the war room, seeing that the SHIELD comline is still open:: Hello?
<Frost> ::closes her eyes and leans back::
<Crude> ::lets himslef drop into a puddle and moves along the ground towards the door:: ((Friends. Some of them. Criminals can have friends...)) ::moves inside::
<Dragon> Fury> ::returns to view:: Ah... I see my official made it there?
<Ripper> ::walks back inside and goes to the war room::
<Frost> ::opens her eyes with a rather annoyed look:: yeah..
<Soap-man> Don't put him close to me, he almost "eats" me last time
<Wildchild> ::Walks into the warroom:: So'd your unofficial official, Nick. ::Grins::
<Frost> ::glares at WC::
<Ripper> ::glances at WC:: ((something about him i dont trust))
<Dragon> Fury> ::glances to the side, then looks back at the screen:: What happened is liable to be a larger problem than I thought. It appears our good friend Agent Harris was getting a tidy pay-off from someone in the government... possibly a senator.
<Torrent> ::watches everything going on::((Well I guess me being new here hasn't helped me any. Might as well not even be here))
<Wildchild> What 'bout our old friend Gyrich, Fury?
<Takillya> it better not be one of them darned senators taht we saved a while back when a convention was attacked.
<Dragon> Fury> ::shakes his head:: Gyrich keeps his nose too clean. His hands may get a little dirty, but it isn't him this time.
<Frost> What else is new? Zero Tolerance took it's effect..
<Takillya> ::shivers at how badly they were beaten in that battle:
<Wildchild> What 'bout that senator that's been giving major speeches 'gainst Mutants, lately? Don't watch news much, so I don't 'member his name..but it seems ya might wanna keep an eye on him.
<Soap-man> maybe it's just a corrupt senator who doesn' like us
<Crude> ::enters the war room, forming his upper body from the puddle::
<Frost> there's many like that Gibbney..::dryly::
<Dragon> Fury> ::dry tone:: I've got eyes on people you've never heard of, Gibney.
<Frost> ::smirks at Fury:: one of those fringe benefits of being a 'member'..
<Soap-man> (Drags, does he have to stay with us?)
<Wildchild> ::eyes Fury:: So that's why one of yer own boys sold ya out, eh Nick? Be careful.
<Dragon> ::glances at Soap and rolls her eyes slightly::
<Dragon> ACTION> FURY CLICKS A BUTTON, AND THE SCREEN GOES BLACK
<Crude> ::reforms the rest of his body and walks to a seat::
<Frost> ::folds her arms:: It's over. But we made short work of those agents, maybe he'll consider that next time
<Dragon> ::slumps down in a chair, yawning:: Fury is one of the people I do trust, in this mess... he may not have our interests at heart, but he's clean about going after his own.
<Crude> ::glances around the room, feeling slightly out of place:: Umm.. what next?
<Dragon> ************END SIM**************
