IT'S BEEN A WEEK OR SO SINCE MILAN BECAME A RESIDENT OF THE BASE'S COMPUTER SYSTEM AND UNLEASHED S.O.P.H.I.A. ON AN UNSUSPECTING TEAM. SINCE THEN, LITTLE HAS HAPPENED, AS THE TEAM HAS BEEN PUT ON STANDBY AND EXPECTED NOT TO LEAVE THE BASE UNTIL A FULL INVESTIGATION OF THE ACOLYTES' ATTACK ON THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. HAZARD, PREDICTABLY, DISAPPEARED. CRYZ HAS COME TO STAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS, TOO.
************SIM START****************
SCENE> MIDDAY, EVERYONE'S PRETTY MUCH CONFINED TO THE BASE, SO Y'ALL PROBABLY NOTICE WHEN A COUPLE OF BLACK UNMARKED MINIVANS PULL UP OUT FRONT AND A GUY THAT LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BE AN AGENT FROM THE MATRIX OR MIB OR SOMETHING GETS OUT AND TALKS TO SMITH FOR A MINUTE.
<Fusion> ::Plopped on the couch, inside, sipping a soda and flipping through channels::
<Dragon> ::outside, standing off to the side by Smith and company::
<Dragon> AgentGuy> ::finishes talking to Smith, and speaks into a small com-unit for a moment, then heads back toward one of the minivans::
<Dragon> ACTION> THE AGENT-LOOKING GUY AND A FRIEND OPEN THE SIDE OF ONE OF THE MINIVANS, AND A TALL GUY WITH BLACK HAIR, BLUE EYES, AND SEVERAL NOTICEABLE SCARS GETS OUT, APPARENTLY BEING CLOSELY WATCHED BY THE TWO AGENT CLONES.
<Bloodshadow> :::: Looks out of the minivanand then back down to the handcuffs around my wrists :::
<Dragon> Smith> ::glances to Dragon and anyone else who's standing outside:: As you can see.. we have a few visitors. This is... ::looks to the agents and the man questioningly:: ..what may we call you?
<Torrent> ::focuses on a small puddle of water near the bench he is sitting on::((It worked before...))
<Bloodshadow> :::: looks at the people gathered ::::: You may call me BloodShadow, lass
<Pegasus> ::sits on the grass and raises a eyebrow::
<Dragon> Smith> ::polite quirk of one eyebrow:: Yes.. hm.. ah.. Bloodshadow. ::focuses a stare on the two agents:: Let him out of those cuffs.
<Bloodshadow> ya, there starting to chaff me bloody wrists
<Dragon> Agent> ::removes the handcuffs and steps back warily::
<Cryz> ::sighs and sits bored in one of the kitchens or something:: ((Come visit she says, we'll be together she says...))
<Pegasus> ::tilts her head::
<Bloodshadow> :::: Nods ::: thank's Mate
<Dragon> Third Agent> ::climbs out of the other minivan::
<Dragon> ACTION> OUT OF THE OTHER MINIVAN, A GROUP OF 6 OR 7 UNIFORMED TEENAGERS LINE UP AND WATCH QUIETLY.
<Torrent> ::watches a drip of the water come up from the puddle as he strains::((All I have to do is break through the initial barrier and my power comes out....That's what happened before...))
<Bloodshadow> :::: rubs his wrists to get the feeling back in them :::
<Dragon> Smith> ::looks back at whoever's outside:: This is Squadron M.. they've come for some training experience... on the job, as it were.
<M3> ::files out with the rest ot his team::
<Cryz> ::walks out of the kitchen:: ((Hon?))
<M3> Hello all ::smiles::
<Pegasus> ::waves::
<Torrent> ::squints as the puddle of water rises and begins moving to him at a high speed::Ahh! ::quickly stops it and it falls to the ground with a splash::
<Dragon> Agent3> ::turns to the teens and clears his throat:: Introduce yourselves, squadron.
<Bloodshadow> ::: looks at the group and nods :::
<Dragon> Girl with green dreadlocks> ::waves slightly:: M2
<Fusion> ::Keeps flipping through channels, sipping his soda:: Man, this is the life..to think, I actually get paid for this.
<M3> I am M3.
<M3> ::waves::
<Torrent> ::smiles and leans back sweating::Think I did it....
<Dragon> Guy with no hair, and a dark gray and black exoskeleton> ::nods:: I'm M1
<Hazard> ::speeds onto the grounds on his motorcycle, various high bills sticking out of the waist of his pants::
<Dragon> Blonde girl, who looks to be about 7 feet tall> ::waves:: M7.. and that's M6 ::gestures to a younglooking boy with no apparent face and a lot of long hair::
<Pegasus> ::stands up::
<Dragon> Girl with short blue hair> ::bright smile:: M4 here
<Dragon> The last guy, who seems to be slightly transparent> M5
<Pegasus> ::waves again:: I am Pegasus
<Hazard> ::notices the vans in front, riding past them to park his bike somewhere::
<M3> Hi pegasus
<M3> ::smiles cheerfully::
<Dragon> ::glances distractedly from the teens to the building:: {{I'm outside, hon}} ::looks to Smith:: What are we supposed to do with a bunch of kids?
<Bloodshadow> ::: looks at the children and isnt quite sure what to make of them or actully anyone he has met in america ::::
<Cryz> ::blinks at the halls:: ((That... doesn't help... where's the exit so I can get my piece of cheese?))
<Dragon> Smith> ::spies Hazard riding in the driveway:: Hey! What did I say about leaving the grounds?! ::heads off after him at a fast walk::
<M3> ::smiles like he doesnt have a thought in his head::
<Torrent> ::walks out to the peoples::Hello all. I'm Torrent. I'm not quite sure who you all are so why don't you introduce yourselves again
<Torrent> Never mind I'm sure Dragon will fill me in later. ::slight bow::
<Dragon> ::nods at the third agent, sighing slightly:: Take the kids inside and let them put their stuff away or whatever... it's a long ride out here.
<Bloodshadow> ::: Looks to Torrent and nods ::::
<Cryz> ::frowns and opens the nearest door, blinking and steps outside:: ((And the rat exits the maze))
<Dragon> ::walks over to Bloodshadow and proffers a hand:: Welcome to the team... ((wonder why they won't let us know anything about his background?))
<Hazard> ::screeches as he brings his bike to a halt, parking it in the most inconvenient place.. for everybody other than him, ignoring Smith:: ((If i don't see her.. she can't see me. Yeah..))
<Bloodshadow> :::: takes her hand ::: Thank you Lass, your Dragon right?
<Dragon> ::nods and shakes his hand:: Yeah, that's me. ::sees Cryz and waves, smiling and motioning him over::
<Pegasus> ::looks at bloodshadow and waves::
<Bloodshadow> :::: Nods towards pegasus :::
<Cryz> ::walks over to Drags:: ((Why's this place so... confusing?))
<Bloodshadow> I hope my abilitys can be put to good use here with yee all
<Torrent> ::grins at Bloodshadow::You'll have to demonstrate your...abilities to me later, if you don't mind.
<Dragon> I'm sure they will be ::smiles:: {{Forge designed it, don't ask me}}
<Bloodshadow> ::: Looks to Torrent and nods not sure how to take his remark :::
<Pegasus> ((i'm confused who are all these ppl and why are they hear....just smile and wave))
<Dragon> Pegs, Tor? You mind showing Bloodshadow around the base? It's rather overwhelming at first sight..
<Pegasus> sure
<Hazard> ::slowly gets off his bike, groaning:: ((Ohh.. just cuz it's a pretty color doesn't mean its a good idea to drink it..)) ::looks around::
<Dragon> Smith> ::standing in front of Hazard, glaring (which is obvious even tho she's wearing her usual black sunglasses)::
<Torrent> ::nods at Drags::Will do...::motions for Bloodshadow to follow him, and waits for Pegs so he canenter the base:
<Pegasus> ::walks up to bloodshadow:: where do you want to go first?
<Dragon> ACTION> EVERYONE CAN HEAR A BLOODCURDLING YELL FROM INSIDE
<Pegasus> ::turns around:: what the?

<Dragon> S.O.P.H.I.A.> ::materializes her holographic form in the hallway, sporting bright purple skin and silver hair:: INTRUDERS!!! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!! THEY'VE INVADED THE BASE!!! ::theatrical swoon::
<Hazard> ::blinks at Smith, hearing the scream and tossing a 20 from his pants to her:: Never saw me.. ::smirks and walks towarsd the building::
<Torrent> ::blinks::Ok maybe you shouldn't go in there...yet. ::runs inside the base quickly turning into water::WHERE?!?
<Pegasus> ::runs inside and into the hall:: where did it come from?
<Dragon> ::winces and looks at Cryz:: Did i mention our computer system has a mind of her own?
<Fusion> Whowhawhere?! ::rolls off the couch, he was laying on::

<Cryz> ::blinks at the holograph:: Hookay...
<Pegasus> did one of you blow something up or scream?
<M3> ::raises his fists slightly:: What is going on?
<Hazard> ::walks inside, wincing at the loud noises and flashing lights:; Aggg turnit off!
<Bloodshadow> :::: looks to the group of children :::: False alarm?
<Torrent> ::blinks::They aren't intruders SOPHIA
<Dragon> Smith> ::audible growl at Hazard's retreating back:: ((I hate having no real power. I can't even make anyone do 50 pushups around here!))
<Dragon> Sophia> ::blinks, hair turning yellow and skin going jet black:: They aren't?
<Pegasus> ::looks at Hazard:: hey!
<Fusion> ::Fuses with the remote:: Heeelloo..::Lowers his shades again, and looks up at the squadron, flipping up onto his feet::
<Torrent> No they are here for us to train them. ::chuckles slightly::
<Dragon> Sophia> ::smiles and curtseys:: Welcome to the base. ::vanishes with a holographic sparkle, as all the lights fade::
<Pegasus> ::mutters:: technology
<M3> ::watches sophia vanish::Bye
<Hazard> ::whispers as the chaos stops:: thank you.. ::smirks and waves slightly at Pegasus::
<Pegasus> ::walks over to hazard:: whats with the money? who got robbed?
<Torrent> ::glances over at Haz and mutters something inaudible and then looks around::Now what?
<Fusion> ::Returns back to normal:: Man, Soph! Ya made me spill my soda!

<Dragon> Milan> ::face appears on a wall panel, looking faintly disgusted:: women. even computer women. ugh. ::disappears::
<Bloodshadow> ::::: looks around trying to take all this in :::
<Dragon> ACTION> A PANEL ON THE WALL OPENS AND A ROBOTIC ARM EXTENDS, HOLDING A NEW SODA OUT TO FUSION. SOPHIA'S DISEMBODIED VOICE SAYS "SORRY"
<M3> ::quickly goes back to his having nothing in his head look and smiles::
<Bloodshadow> ::: Looks at the arm and almost jumps being startled by it ::::

<Bloodshadow> what the ..... :: looking at the arm ::::
<Fusion> ::Blinks at the new soda as he takes it:: Man..that still looks cool. Thanks, Soph. ::Opens the soda and takes a gulp::
<Cryz> ::puts an arm around Drags' waist as well, thinking:: ((Frost?))
<Dragon> {{This is all a government project... can't bring her into it. Wonder where they found the kids anyway}}
<Dragon> Agent3> ::still walking around with the squadron, keeping a close eye on them::
<Pegasus> ::leans against the wall:: hazard?
<Torrent> ::looks over all the M people::((Hmm....I'll have fun training these kids. They better be serious about it though.))
<Fusion> Hmm..::Watches the squadron walk off:: ((This could be kinda cool, having people my age around..))
<Dragon> M7> ::looks around cheerfully, ducking reflexively as she walks through a doorway::
<Bloodshadow> :::: looks over to Torrent then to Pegs::::::
<Hazard> M6> ::wanders away from the group, moving over to where the arm came out from the wall with a soda::

<Dragon> ::glances around:: Well.. being confined to base sucks ::rubs her head::
<Hazard> ::glances at Pegasus:: hm? ::watching M6 mostly::
<Pegasus> are you okay you seem spacy
<Torrent> ::blinks realizing he's still in water form and switches back::
<Cryz> Why don't we just... leave?
<Dragon> I suppose we should train or something ::mutters and heads for S.O.P.H.I.A. (she's the equivalent of the danger room here, for all you who don't know) to start programming in a mission::
<Torrent> ::walks over to Dragsy and whispers to her::Maybe we should be the ones against them this time. We can go easy on them you know just to test them out.
<Hazard> M1> ::looking around at everythign somewhat solemnly, but walking ahead of the group::
<Fusion> ::Glances at M6 and nods:: Hey..I'm Fusion. ::Holds his hand out to shake::
<Dragon> Yeah, that'd probably be better. After all, they're supposed to be learning to work as a team

<Dragon> M2> ::practically elbows M6 out of the way:: Hi! ::big smile at Fusion:: Wow, somebody our age.. How DO you manage being on a team like this?
<Bloodshadow> ::: begins to follow the other looking like a lost puppy ::::::
<Cryz> ::just walks with Drags::
<Torrent> ::walks after everyone else making sure to round up everyone::
<Fusion> ::Smiles:: Yo..aw, it's easy, after all. I mean, aside from the saving the world bit, it's almost like a resort. ::Grins::

<Bloodshadow> ::: trys to mentally map there path ::::
<Dragon> M7> Saving the world? Wow.. ::sounds almost as enthusiastically bubbly as M2::
<Pegasus> ::looks back at bloodshadow:: you look lost

<Dragon> Agent> ::glances quellingly at the M's:: Pay attention. You're here to train, not socialize.
<Pegasus> ::smiles:: yeah,
<Fusion> Yeah, well..you know..::Grins:: Fighting off Magneto's goons..averting natural disasters..that kinda thing.
