**********SIM BRIEF***********
HAZARD'S BIOSIGNATURE HAS APPEARED ON THE TRACKING DEVICES, COMING FROM LAS VEGAS. THE SHIELD AGENTS ARE LONG GONE, AND FROST HAS LEFT.
************SIM START****************
SCENE> THE BASE, IN THE WAR ROOM.
<Dragon> ACTION> THE SECURITY SYSTEMS REGISTER APPROACH OF AN (AS OF YET) UNIDENTIFIED MUTANT
<Takillya> oh, great...what now?
<Revanche> ::kneels out of sight, looking at the building::
<Torrent> ::sits in a chair and waits for any orders from Dragon::
<Dragon> ::swivels her chair around to face the monitors:: Oy, where do all these visitors come from...?
<Wildchild> ::Feet up on the War Room table, hat down over his eyes:: Want me to go take a peek at who our guest is?
<Revanche> ::throws up a psi shield to protect from teeps, and takes the throwing blade in her hand:: ((I hope they're alive..))
<Dante> ::shakes his head:: It seems like we always have uninvited guests around here.
<Torrent> ::listens to Drags::So, what should we do?
<Dragon> Sure... Can someone who knows how to use this thing try to lock in on the signature and get an ID? ::taps at the console::
<Crude> I would.. but I don't know how to use it.. and you won't let me touch it.. and.. nevermind. ::grins::
<Ripper> ::sits at the computer typing in commands trying to get an id on the intruder::
<Dragon> ::shoots Crude a Look::
<Ripper> on it boss
<Revanche> ::eyes the building one more time before bursting into a run, jumping high through the air and landing in the doorway, landing perfectly on her feet::
<Torrent> ((I wonder when I will get my insulated suit.))::looks at Drags::I don't know if I could....::hears Ripper::Oh, nevermind.
<Wildchild> ::Sits up, after swinging his feet off the table, and heads out of the room, heading for the source::
<Dragon> ::mutters:: don't call me that.
<Dante> Hmm is whoever it is being destructive? Might give us a clue.
<Ripper> what?
<Ripper> ::continues to type::
<Dragon> ACTION> THE COMPUTER BLIPS AT RIPPER, APPARENTLY COMING UP WITH A CONTRADICTORY REPORT
<Crude> Blip blap bloop... ::taps his fingers on the table::
<Gambit> ::takes a seat::
<Wildchild> ::Sniffs the air, as he heads for the doorway and outside, to check out the intruder:: Hmm..Wonder who now..
<Dragon> Computer> Intruder has been identified as designate: Revanche... aka Kwannon aka Betsy Braddock... status: Deceased
<Ripper> ::blinks at the screen:: well Dragon the comp is confused
<Revanche> ::stops for a moment, then takes her throwing knife, tackling WC to the ground and holding the knife to his throat::
<Revanche> {{WC: And you are?}}
<Dragon> ::leans forward:: Wha? ::eyes the computer::
<Torrent> ::looks around at everyone::Now what do we do?
<Wildchild> ::Tries kicking Revanche off him, before she can use the knife:: Not impressed. ::Growls:: But you can call me Wildchild.
<Takillya> what the?
<Takillya> status deceased?
<Dante> Could it be a imposter then?
<Revanche> ::lands perfectly on her feet, taking a defensive stance:: you looke more like Wolverine..
<Ripper> that is what the comp is telling me ::types in a commands telling the comp to verify::
<Crude> ::spins his seat around:: Some computer..
<Wildchild> Nope..::Flashes his claws:: He did however, train me. ::Bares his teeth:: Now, mind tellin' me who you are, and what yer doing here?
<Torrent> ::leans back and puts his feet up::Now, what do we do?
<Dragon> ::glances at the monitors:: We'd better get out there. {{Wildchild, don't attack. It's a former X-Man... let her in.}}
<Dragon> ::on a much more tightly shielded level:: {{But keep a close eye on her...}}
<Revanche> I'm Revanche::smiles slightly, flashing her katana in sight:: My fight is not with you apparently..
<Torrent> ::gets up and begins to walk out the door::
<Wildchild> ::Blinks:: Former..::Raises an eyebrow:: ((Don't look like any X-Man I ever met..)) Alright, got the word from Dragon. You're clear..Come right in.
<Dragon> ::pauses:: Oh... and get ready to go, the jet will be ready to head to Las Vegas, as soon as we deal with Revanche.
<Ripper> ::gets up and runs out of the WR and towards the door::
<Takillya> ::runs towads where WC and Rev are::
<Crude> Woohoo! Lemme go get me lucky dime! ::oozes out of his seat::
<Revanche> ::looks Tak up and down, before striding into the building towards Dragon:: {{The Black Widow sent me..}}
<Dragon> ::heads to the front hall:: So... you're Revanche? Mind explaining how you're alive?
<Torrent> ::runs outside and sees WC and Rev::Well, hello there.
<Dante> ::follows out with the others.::
<Torrent> ::goes back inside with the others::
<Revanche> The Black Widow will forward that report to you..I am not sure of my rebirth myself..
<Ripper> what do you want?
<Dragon> ::dry tone:: Lovely. Well... i've heard a little about the Black Widow... guess if she trusts you, that's a good sign.
<Revanche> I'm here to assist you..for the time being..
<Crude> Whoa.. cool.. two birthdays... ::reforms to a full humanoid form::
<Revanche> And to verify me, ask Gambit
<Wildchild> "The Black Widow sent you"..Sounds like an old Boris Karloff film. ::Bites on a toothpick::
<Takillya> ::looks Rev up and down:: what did the Widow send you here for?
<Gambit> ::stands in the hallway out of sight from the other X-Factor ppl::
<Dragon> Ok, if you're here to help... we're not exactly long on time. The jet is waiting, you can explain there. ::heads for the hangar::
<Wildchild> Gumbo? ::Sniffs the air::
<Torrent> ::looks at Rev a little suspiciously::((Don't know if I trust her quite yet...but hey I am just the newbie))
<Dante> Hmm..well this is an interesting development that's for sure.
<Torrent> ::follows Dragon::
<Gambit> ::comes into view as he heads for the hangar::
<Ripper> ::goes to the jet::
<Revanche> ::nods and follows Dragon:: {{It's hard to explain really..The Mandarin gave life to me once again..}}
<Dante> ::heads after the others for the hangar::
<Crude> ::looks at the others heading for the hangar and follows them::
<Wildchild> ::Glances at Gumbo:: So, she's legit, then, i take it, LeBeau? ::Heads for the Hangar::
<Dragon> ::glances back:: Crude... you're the only one who's seen Syke in action personally before... any tips?
<Takillya> ::follows teh group::
<Crude> Oh yeah.. Avoid.. mebbe hide... then make sure he's not anywhere around.. ::grins::
<Gambit> She's legit. ::not turning to face WC::
<Revanche> ::smiles at Gambit:: Gambit, we meet again.
<Crude> I was out before he even said hello... not a friendly guy... ::walks into the hangar::
<Dante> So where are we going anyway?
<Takillya> this is gonna hurt.
<Dragon> Unfortunately that isn't an option, if he has Hazard... ::frowns:: ((How on earth are we going to take this guy out?)) We're going to Vegas, D.
<Ripper> ::gets into the jet::
<Dante> Oh great..Any good shows we can catch?
<Torrent> ::looks around::Uh...who is the Hazard again anyways?? All I have heard is he was your leader. If we are going to look for him, don't you think it would help if I knew what he looked like? ::gets in the jet::
<Dragon> ::climbs in and sits down:: Hopefully not a view of us getting our asses kicked.
<Crude> Sigfried and Roy... ::snickers, getting into the jet::
<Revanche> ::sits in the back of the jet, her arms folded::
<Dragon> ::sends a brief mental image and burst of information to Torrent:: {{That's Hazard.}}
<Torrent> ::sits down in the jet::
<Gambit> ::gets into the jet and takes a seat::
<Dante> ::wanders into the jet as well.:: I said /good/ shows Crude. Well maybe we can find a good shrimp bar.
<Wildchild> ::Sits down in the jet:: Now pipe down, waterspout. Worry more 'bout this Syke guy. ::Chews the toothpick::
<Crude> Hey.. the tiger's cool..
<Dante> If the tiger was cool..it would chompy those two. Now /that/ would be a show.
<Torrent> ::glares at Wildchild::Maybe it's the pointy ears that make you disgruntled.
<Torrent> ::goes over the image in his head::((Thanx))
<Dragon> ACTION> THE JET LIFTS, QUICKLY LEAVING THE HANGAR AND TUNNEL, AND HEADING SOUTHWEST
<Wildchild> ::Takes the toothpick out, flicking it at Torrent and letting the light glint off his claws:: Oh, I can give ya "Disgruntled", alright..
<Torrent> ::flips the toothpick away::Please.
<Ripper> ::glares at WC:: knock it off
<Revanche> ::glances at Gambit for a moment, then begins sharpening her katana::
<Crude> ::looks around, grinning:: Teamwork's lookin' a lot like a deathmatch..
<Takillya> Drags, are you sure this is a good idea?
<Dragon> **************>>>TIME WARP... HEY, I DON'T WANNA DESCRIBE AN IN-FLIGHT MOVIE LINE BY LINE
<Dante> So who's this guy we're fighting?
<Dragon> No, but do you see any options? ::glances out the window at the approaching lights of Las Vegas::
<Ripper> ::trys to get an exact location of Haz::
<Takillya> we could offer a trade. ::nods towards Crude::
<Crude> ::presses his face against the window, spreading out against it:: Ooooh... go fast enough and this'd be psychadelic..
<Takillya> someone else could volunteer.
<Wildchild> ::Sniffs the air:: Wish I knew what this Syke guy smelled like. Might make things go smoother.
<Crude> Why would he want me? ::snickers:: He wanted Hazard
<Torrent> ::looks out the window::Wow, this is the first time I have ever been to Las Vegas.
<Dante> ::just sits there and looks out the window.::
<Dragon> Syke could've taken Crude earlier, if he wanted him, rather than Haz. Instead he just left him splattered in a puddle.
<Ripper> its either take Haz by force from this guy or we dont get Haz
<Revanche> ::glances at Dragon: The way you talk of this individual, you'd think he was more powerful than Magneto..
<Dragon> ACTION> THE COMPUTER LOCKS IN ON HAZ'S SIGNATURE, ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN
<Takillya> or how about we ask him REALLY nicely for Haz back?
<Ripper> he is on the west side of town Dragon
<Dragon> ::looks at Revanche:: I've never fought Magneto, so I really don't have much of a basis for comparison.
<Wildchild> The way I hear he took apart the Brotherhood, Rev..He just might be.
<Takillya> he walked through a gorup of mutants who nearly beat us.
<Takillya> and he kille dmost of them and left some critically injured.
<Dante> What's his powers?
<Ripper> we can tell you this Rev...he destroyed a building and killed the entire botherhood
<Torrent> ::looks at Dante::I think he has psi power.
<Dragon> ::brushes green and orange hair nervously out of her eyes::
<Takillya> Drags, do you still have that memory we took from Crude?
<Revanche> ::flashes her katana again:: I'm no gaijin..::smiles:: sounds like a challenge
<Takillya> maybe you could brief the new members.
<Crude> Not the entire.. and he can turn some people into puddles..
<Torrent> Just from what I have heard from everybody else. ((Of course I don't really know anything yet))
<Dragon> It was from Synapse. And yes, unfortunately. Although I'd prefer i didn't have it at all...
<Gambit> ::glances back at Rev::
<Dante> Great..I never did like fighting psis.
<Dragon> ACTION> THE JET SLOWS, HOVERING ABOVE A RUN-DOWN OLD HOUSE
<Dragon> ::mutters:: We're here... now what?
<Ripper> ::looks down at the house:: he is in there
<Revanche> I can scout ahead..
<Torrent> ::sighs::Well, we might as well get this over with.
<Ripper> i'll do it....didnt spend 6 years in the navy seals for nothin'
<Crude> ::shudders slightly:: ((He's in there... tore through my friends...))
<Dante> Well if he's that tough we might as well all go.
<Revanche> ::sheathes her katana:: {{Dragon: I shall keep in touch through telepathy}} Being an assassin all my life is a plus
<Dragon> No one moves alone. Ripper, Revanche, you go first, Dante and I will follow, the rest of you, follow us.
<Revanche> especially in shealth::glances at Ripper::
<Dragon> {{Crude... if you don't want to go in there... you can stay in the jet.}}
<Torrent> Yes ma'am. ::gets up and gets ready to leave::
<Revanche> ::nods to Ripper and kneels slightly, eyeing the house::
<Dante> ::nods to Drags::
<Ripper> ::gets up and heads for the exit:: after you me lady
<Crude> ((I'm going... partly my fault..)) ::sinks out of his seat and towards the hatch::
<Wildchild> ::Starts to move ahead, cautiously:: Well, let's get crackin', then..
<Torrent> <<Wow. Crude taking responsibility>>
<Takillya> ::gets in the rear of the group::
<Torrent> ::waits to follow in the 3rd group::
<Revanche> ::slowly walks towards the house, her senses on all around her, and eyeing for any kind of ambush::
<Ripper> ::heads for the house::
<Takillya> <<rear of the group is the closest to the exit :)>>
<Dragon> ::absorbs some of the ambient heat, glowing slightly, and moves to the hatch:: The jet will remain hovering... those of you who can fly, if we have to get out in a hurry, help those who can't.
<Crude> ::oozes along the ground, concealed quite well in the night, towards the house::
<Revanche> ::stands next to the door, eyeing Ripper:: {{After you..}}
<Dante> ::shifts himself::
<Dante> Whenever youre ready Dragon.
<Ripper> ::trys to open the door quietly::
<Dragon> ::flies to the ground, keeping a short distance behind Ripper and Revanche::
<Gambit> ::waits for Drags and Dante to go, gets up, taking out his staff::
<Revanche> ::holds a throwing knife in her hand, ready to strike::
<Dragon> ACTION> THE DOOR STICKS SLIGHTLY, BUT OPENS
<Dante> ::flies down behind Drags trying to mute his glow a bit.::
<Ripper> ::gesters with his hands for her to move in::
<Revanche> ::slowly walks forward, eyeing the room::
<Torrent> ::follows behind the first two groups::
<Wildchild> ::Lands on his feet as he follows, eyeing the area, cautiously::
<Dragon> ACTION> REVANCHE SEES A DUSTY-LOOKING SHORT HALLWAY
<Takillya> ::finishes his will and leaves it on the plane::
<Ripper> ::enters slowly and quietly eyes darting all around::
<Gambit> ::gets out of the jet, jumping to the floor::
<Crude> ::slips into the house through one of the many cracks::
<Takillya> ::drops down the hatch::
<Revanche> ::walks towards the hallway silently, her eyes darting everywhere::
<Gambit> :: walks towards the door, warily, trying not to make much noise::
<Ripper> (((this has been too easy so far))) :::follows Rev::
<Dragon> ACTION>RIP & REV-- IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE MAIN ROOM OF THE HOUSE, A HUMAN FORM HANGS BY SEVERAL ROPES FROM THE CEILING
<Crude> ::makes his way further into the house, not staying with the group as he slides through the walls and pipes::
<Takillya> ::creeps toward the door and makes sure everyone made it out of the plane all right::
<Revanche> ::glances at Dragon, her eyes darting at the figure::
<Ripper> ::grabs his axe and looks at the human form::
<Torrent> ::walks right in front of Tak silently forward::
<Dante> ::floats down to the ground and approaches the front of the building.::
<Revanche> ::glares at Torrent:: {{He's going to walk into a trap!}}
<Dragon> ::moves into the house, following them, chewing at her lip slightly::
<Dragon> {{Torrent, Freeze.}}
<Torrent> ::catches Rev's glare and Drags psi-talk and stops::((What?))
<Dante> ::follows along floating a few inches above the ground.::
<Crude> ::oozes up through the floor of the main room, seeing the form hanging there::
<Dragon> ACTION> REVANCHE NOTICES A SLIGHT MOVEMENT, ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE, FROM THE SHADOWS TO THE SIDE
<Wildchild> ::Moves low to the ground, as he follows Drags::
<Takillya> ::constantly looks around and listens for someone::
<Gambit> ::follows WC::
<Ripper> ::looks down the hallway at Torrent:: ((some ppl just have no clue of STELTH))
<Revanche> ::flings her throwing knife at the figure, just barelly missing him::
<Revanche> Move an inch, and the next knife doesnt miss..::draws another knife::
<Ripper> ::grabs a knife and and waits::
<Torrent> ::ducks down and powers up a water blast just in case::<<I didn't even know I was as far as you guys could see me yet :P>>
<Takillya> ::prepares to emit a force wave at the figure::
<Dragon> ::holds still:: {{What's going on in there, Revanche?}} ::broadcasts simultaneously to the others::
<Crude> Syke> ::steps out from the shadows, grinning with a party hat on and holding a bat:: Welcome to the party.. who wants first crack at the pinata? ::motions to the form hanging fromt he ceiling::
<Revanche> {{No actions till I say..There's a figure..}}
<Dante> ::stops when he hears Drags' voice::
<Ripper> ((could be Haz's friend))
<Torrent> ::hears Syke::((Is that...him?))
<Revanche> {{There's a man here, proceed}}
<Torrent> <<ok then forget that last statement>>
<Revanche> ::glances at Ripper for a moment::
<Ripper> ::nods::
<Ripper> ::keeps an eye on the place where the figure is::
<Crude> Syke> ::glances down at Crude coming up through the floor:: You again? Down. ::forces him to loose his cohesion::
<Dragon> ::moves closer to the room, trying to remain hidden:: ::to those outside::{{Move in, but be quiet... Syke's here}}
<Revanche> ::eyes narrow on Syke::
<Wildchild> ::Sniffs the air:: ((Two others, in there..Gotta be who we're looking for.))
<Torrent> ::looks around at everybody outside and whispers::What if they need us in there? How are going to know?
<Crude> ::sinks back through the floor, losing his control over his form::
<Takillya> ::moves clower to the room as silent as possible::
<Torrent> ::stands right outside the door, close to the ground::
<Takillya> ((sneaking up on a psi, yeah right))
<Wildchild> ::Also moves in, sticking to the shadows::
<Dante> ::keeps on drifting down the hallway. {{Umm if this guy's a psi should we be braodcasting thoughts so much?}}
<Revanche> ::sees Crude in the corner of her eye, then forms the psi blade while keeping the knife pointed at Syke::
<Syke> Hmm... ::glances at the door Rev and Rip came in at:: Let's wait for the others to get in here before we decide who gets first crack on the pinata.. ::holds the bat in his hands still::
<Dragon> {{We don't know if he's psi, Tak... if he is, he already knows we're here... if he isn't, we might have a chance... drat. So much for surprise.}}
<Revanche> hostages? gaijin..
<Ripper> ::eyes norrow at Syke:: ((where is Haz))
<Dragon> ::sighs and steps into the room, facing Syke::
<Syke> ::broadcasts to all:: {{It'd be nice if all the guests would come to the main room so we can start the party.}}
<Wildchild> ((Hmm..Well..He knows we're here, already..)) ::Jumps out of the shadows into the main room, bareing his teeth and flashing his claws:: Syke, I take it.
<Syke> ::looks at Ripper, then points with the bat at the figure hanging from the ceiling by the ropes::
<Takillya> ((FUC*!))
<Dante> ::shadows after Drags:: Somehow I think all of this was rather pointless
<Takillya> ::walks into the room::
<Gambit> ::heads towards the main room::
<Takillya> Hi, there.
<Dragon> ::mutters:: We tried. It isn't over yet...
<Torrent> ::runs towards the main room with a water blast powerd up::
<Dante> ::shrugs:: No but we could have come in guns blazing. Wouldn't have mattered
<Revanche> do you honestly think you can handle all of us?
<Wildchild> ::Sniffs the air:: Well, he definitely ain't scared, Rev..That's fer sure..
<Syke> ::sighs and shakes his head:: Hm? Of course. Just disappointed that you came early.. would have liked a few more hours with him and all.
