SCENE> THE BASE, MID-AFTERNOON...
<Wildchild> ::Snoring on his bed, bag next to the bed on the floor::
<Ripper> ::sits in the WR watching over the cameras::
<Torrent> ::sits on the couch about to doze off::I thought groups like these would do alot more stuff than this.
<Takillya> ::is in his room, reading up on the latest movie news::
<Dragon> ::paces the hall, looking tired::
<Torrent> ::gets up and stretches looking aroun::Where is everybody Mrs.Dragon-Lady? Uh...mean guy?
<Ripper> ::gets up and heads to the kitchen to get a drink::
<Dragon> ::mutters, then looks up at Torrent blankly:: Wha?
<Torrent> ::looks at Drags::I was just wondering where everybody was.
<Dragon> ::shrugs:: Don't know... sleeping maybe. Not like we've had much chance to do that in the last few days...
<Takillya> ::puts away "Entertainment Weekly" and goes down to the WR to see if Rip needs someone else to watch the cameras for a whiel::
<Torrent> Oh guess I wouldn't know. ::looks around boredly::
<Ripper> ::grabs the drink and heads back to th WR::
<Torrent> ::walks into the kitchen, grabs a juice, and sits at the table::Guess this isn't all it is cracked up to be. ::takes a drink::
<Ripper> ::gets back to the WR and kicks his feet up::
<Ripper> ::opens the 2 litre bottle of DP and drinks from it::
<Takillya> ::walks into the WR:: hey, Ripp.
<Ripper> hey Tak...whats up?
<Takillya> need someone to take over for a while?
<Ripper> nah...its all quiet
<Ripper> your welcome to join me if you want
<Torrent> ::gets up from his chair and starts to just walk around::((I guess I might as well get use to the place))
<Takillya> ok.
<Dragon> ::continues pacing the hall:: ((maybe I should check out that SOPHIA thing... nah, maybe later))
<Ripper> ::starts moving the cam through the building looking for Crude::
<Takillya> ::kicks back in a nother chair::
<Ripper> wonder where that Crude is
<Takillya> I think we should implant some device on him somehow to keep him in line.
<Crude> ::walks down the hall, heading in no particular direction::
<Ripper> i agree...i dont really trust him
<Torrent> ((I wonder where that guy with the pointy ears went off too))::looks into a few rooms and keeps roaming around::
<Takillya> Rip, you all right?
<Takillya> ::backs the chair up some::
<Ripper> ::sees Crude:: ahhhh there he is
<Dragon> ::walks into the kitchen, rummaging through the fridge:: Wha... what happened to my DP? ::scowls::
<Torrent> ::walks back into the kitchen::I saw that one guy with it when I first came in here.
<Ripper> ::sees Drags looking for the DP and drinks it all and puts the bottle under Tak's chair::
<Dragon> That one guy. Oy, does that help me or what?
<Torrent> ::shrugs::I don't know everybody's name...Uh Dragooness?
<Takillya> ::grabs the bottle and crushes it into a ball and toses it at Ripp::
<Ripper> ::tosses it back at Tak::
<Dragon> ::frowns, glaring at the refridgerator:: And I'm Dragon. Review the personnel files if you want to know who people are.
<Torrent> Ok sorry, ::sits back at the table::
<Takillya> ::throws it into the trash can::
<Dragon> ::finds the ice cream and sits down on the counter with a sigh::
<Torrent> ::looks over at Drags::Something wrong?
<Ripper> ((wonder if i should tell her where the stash of DP is....nah...itll all be gone))
Gambit is now known as Pulse
<Pulse> ::walks up to the gate:: ((Hrm...))
<Dragon> Considering the team leader is still missing, we just pulled a bunch of dead bodies out of a wrecked building, and I'm suffering from caffeine withdrawal... ::half-smiles::
<Takillya> ::slides his chair over to the computer and starts looking through old battles X-Factor had fought::
<Dragon> ACTION> SEVERAL CAMERAS ZOOM IN ON PULSE, IDENTIFYING HIM AS AN INTRUDER
<Ripper> +com+ Intruder alert
<Takillya> ::sees Pulse on the camera::
<Pulse> ::blinks, eyes dart about:: ((Great, I come here to help...)) ::sighs::
<Torrent> ::stands up::And I guess this is just Icing on the cake?
<Dragon> ::sighs:: +com+ Any ID on them, Rip?
<Takillya> should we initiate defenses or let the team take care of him?
<Ripper> +com+ not yet Drags
<Dragon> ((better not be some other halfwit villain...))
<Dragon> It could be someone Frost reached when she put out an alert, earlier...
<Ripper> +com+ should i ativate the defences?
<Dragon> +com+ Mmm... not yet.
<Pulse> ::looks for a button or something::
<Ripper> ::punches some commands into the comp trying to get an ID::
<Torrent> Well I hope so.
<Dragon> ACTION> THE DATABASE COMES UP ONSCREEN, ID-ING HIM AS PULSE, AN AFFILIATE OF THE X-MEN
<Ripper> +com+ its Pulse Dragon affiliate of the X-Men
<Dragon> +com+ Uh... ok. Let him in, i guess... if he starts blowing things up, we can take him out pretty easy.
<Ripper> ::opens the gate::
<Torrent> Well, that's a relief.
<Pulse> ::rolls his eyes and enters the grounds, walking to the front door::
<Dragon> ::being in the hall, heads to the front door and opens it slightly warily:: Hello?
<Ripper> ::keeps the cams focused on Pulse::
<Torrent> ::follows behind Drags::
<Dragon> ::waits for Pulse to say something:: We don't buy encyclopedias, soap, or Jehovah's Witnesses... does that answer any questions of yours? ::grins slightly::
<Pulse> ::waves:: I'm here, cause someone sent an alert call.
<Dragon> Ahh... 'twould have been Frost. The trouble's kinda over... come in ::opens the door wider and steps back::
<Takillya> We don't buy Jehovah's Witnesses?
<Torrent> ::snickers at Drags::
<Pulse> ::snickers:: Thanks ::enters:: ((Nice place..))
<Ripper> ::looks at Tak and shrugs:: guess not
<Dragon> ::distracted look around:: {{Yeah, it's new.}}
<Torrent> ::is right inside the door::Hello...um you.
<Pulse> ::slightly startled:: Ah.
<Dragon> ::blinks and shakes her head:: ((d'oh, my attention is slipping... thought he'd said that out loud...))
<Takillya> well, Rip, got anycards in here?
<Ripper> well may as well go greet our "guest" ::walks out of the WR and towards the door::
<Takillya> I feel agame of blackjack coming on.
<Ripper> dont play cards ::said over his shoulder::
<Takillya> hmm..oh, well.
<Takillya> ::find a pack of cards and plays solitaire::
<Ripper> ::reaches the door:: hello Pulse
<Torrent> ::looks at Ripper::Hey, that's the guy from the kitchen.
<Pulse> ::turns around:: ((how did--)) Hi
<Takillya> ::snickers as he watches the truth revealed::
<Dragon> ::slips through the group, heading for the LR::
<Ripper> ::reaches out a hand:: names Ripper
<Ripper> ::glares at Torrent::
<Pulse> ::shakes his hand:: Nice t'meet you
<Torrent> ::sees Ripper's glare and shuts up::
<Ripper> ::heads towards the LR::
<Torrent> ::follows the others::
<Pulse> ((Might as well go too))
<Dragon> ::sits down on the couch, folding her feet under her, and yawns again::
<Ripper> ::leaves for a few mins::
<Dragon> So... do we get to know anything about you, Pulse, or is that all classified information? ::smiles::
<Ripper> ::re-enters the room with a 3 litre bottle of DP and some glasses::
<Ripper> DP anyone?
<Torrent> ::looks at Ripper::((Hey Dragon checked the refrigerator and couldn't find any))Uh, sure.
<Ripper> ::poors a glass for Torrent::
<Ripper> boss lady?
<Torrent> ::takes the glass::Thank you. ::takes a sip::
<Dragon> ::eyes widen:: Ooh, please ::grins:: And where'd you hide it?
<Ripper> ::grabs the biggest glass fills it and hands it to Drags...chuckles:: yeah like i'd tell ya boss...i'd never get any
<Ripper> Pulse?
<Dragon> ::takes a drink:: And by the way, how come everyone keeps calling me boss? Hazard is still alive...
<Ripper> yes...but until he returns you are the boss
<Torrent> ((I wonder who this caution-guy is))::takes a couple more drinks::
