X-FACTOR IS IN THE JET, HEADING AWAY FROM THE SMALL TOWN WHERE THE MOTEL EXPLODED MINUTES AGO. THERE MAY OR MAY NOT BE A LOT OF ANGRY FEDS AFTER THE TEAM. WHAT IS CERTAIN, HOWEVER, IS THAT THE MUTANT SITUATION IN THE COUNTRY IS WORSENING.
************SIM START****************
SCENE> INSIDE THE JET. NEWS REPORTS ARE SHOWING ON ALL THE MONITORS, ABOUT THE ATTEMPTED ASSASINATION OF THE PRESIDENT BY A MUTANT NAMED ROBERT FORD, AND ABOUT X-FACTOR "GOING ROGUE" AND ATTACKING GOVERNMENT AGENTS.
<M3> ::looks out the window not wanting to watch all of these lies::((They are all gone))
<Dragon> ::shakes her head:: I should've known they'd find a way to pin it all on us..
<Bloodshadow> :::: shakes his head :: this is just like back home ......
<Bloodshadow> ::::looks out the window ::::
<Hazard> ::looks at the back of his eyelids, unconscious still::
<Dragon> ::glances to M3:: ((I wish I could let him know they're all fine... but that will have to wait)) Say, is there something we can call you besides M3?
<M3> Well I kinda got an idea when we visited Gen X for a code name: Cell you know like the battery M3 is now known as Cell
<Dragon> Cell? Ok, Cell it is...
<Bloodshadow> :::: looks to M3 as Dragon askes the Question :::
<Dragon> ::stands up, going back to the medbed and trying to ascern whether Hazard is even close to waking up::
<Bloodshadow> ::: returns to gazing out the window ::: First, the government blames blames ya for bogus charges ...... then they start pickin up innocent people ...... then theses people vanish ....
<Cryz> ::guessing he's flying:: Where're we going?
<Torrent> ::just sits back and looks around::((Don't feel like putting my input in at the moment..))
<Dragon> ::kicks the equipment because it can't get any readings from his metal form, and goes back to her seat:: West... no... wait. Take us north, out of US borders. Maybe that will give them problems if they try to send a bunch of jets after us.
<Cell> ::looks over to Bloodshadow:: The truth will come out it has to and then we get to deal with the scum who did all of this
<Cryz> ::nods:: Northwest it is.
<Bloodshadow> ::: Looks over to cell :: me' people have been fighting the Government in our homeland for sevral generations youngin .......
<Dragon> ::looks out the window:: ((Some leader I am... Phantasm and Fusion are both dead or seriously injured, and the girl, M4, was killed right in front of us all))
<Hazard> ::opens his eyes slightly soon as Dragon walks off, looking towards the front of the jet out of the corner of his eye::
<Bloodshadow> ::: slumps down in his seat :::::
<Cryz> ::glances to Drags:: There's a base in Oregon... in the Northwest... if you're interested.
<Dragon> ::nods:: I take it X-Force spent some time there?
<Cryz> ::nods:: A little bit... it's sorta beat up, though.
<Bloodshadow> my bones are beginin to hurt the more i think of this ......
<Dragon> SOPHIA> ::clears her non-existent throat:: Houston, we have a problem
<Bloodshadow> :::: blinks and looks up to were the voice came from :::
<Cell> ::looks over to where sophia is speaking::
<Cryz> What's that?
<Hazard> ::starts picking off the little med devices trying to monitor him quietly, ignoring the voice::
<Dragon> SOPHIA> ::materializes on several of the monitors in the jet, with yellow skin and orange hair:: The jet's running low on fuel.
<Bloodshadow> i soupose this thing dosn't run on unleaded?
<Dragon> SOPHIA> Not to mention.. ::makes the medbed latch restraints over Hazard's wrists and legs with a click::
<Dragon> SOPHIA> Nope, if I thought we could get the fuel anywhere but from someplace the government would catch us in a moment, I'd have taken us there. I suggest you abandon the jet and continue on foot, while there's still enough fuel left to maintain cloaking.
<Dragon> ::glances back at the clicking noise, and blinks:: Hazard?
<Cryz> Is there anywhere around here that would have jet fuel?
<Cell> How far are we from where we want to go?
<Bloodshadow> any local Air port should carry aviation fuel
<Dragon> SOPHIA> There's an airport... but it's a big one, and I've heard communications sent out all over the airwaves saying to keep an eye out for any jet with this one's registration numbers
<Hazard> ::narrows his eyes at the restraint, teleporting himself out of the bed and into a standing position right next to it::
<Cryz> Why not just cloak and land then steal it? I mean... borrow it?
<Dragon> ::stands up, watching Hazard warily:: Can... you explain what happened back there at the Academy?
<Bloodshadow> ::::grins and looks to Cryz :: i think i like your thinking ......
<Dragon> SOPHIA> They don't exactly keep the stuff in bargain bins out on the sidewalk
<Cell> Anybody know how to fuel a plane?
<Dragon> ACTION> A FEW BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE DASH START SHOWING THAT THE JET IS GETTING DANGEROUSLY LOW ON FUEL
<Bloodshadow> but they do keep it in Tankers?
<Hazard> ::ignoring Dragon's question, rubbing his wrists absentmindedly:: Land near a city and can just steal a van or something to take us the rest of the way.
<Bloodshadow> i am sure one of the techies at the airport do ..... and with a little persuation ..... he might be willing to help us and fuel us ....
<Cryz> So what is it, van, or fuel?
<Cell> I am not sure that we can convince a tech to help us with out using force, which is somthing that I am not comfortable with
<Dragon> ::glances from Haz to the others:: And if we mess up anywhere along the line, and get caught, we're screwed. Land the plane... Sophia, give him some coordinates of a good place to leave it.
<Cryz> Van it is, then.
<Dragon> Hold it ::puts up a hand:: The last time you were conscious, you nearly killed a kid, and you had weird psionic energy cascading off of you, Hazard. I want an explanation.
<Bloodshadow> ::: Looks to Cell ::::you might want to change your outlook on life there ...... there people after us not afraid to use force to captuer us
<Cell> :: with a grim stare:: That is an entirely different matter
<Dragon> ACTION> THE JET LANDS IN A SMALL CLEARING, WHICH IS SURROUNDED BY A HEAVILY FORESTED AREA.
<Bloodshadow> ::: notices the fire in cells eyes and grins ::::
<Hazard> ::shoves his hands in his pocket, teleporting himself outside the jet::
<Cell> ::unstraps and stands up waiting for the others::
<Bloodshadow> :::: stands up ::::
<Dragon> ACTION> HAZARD FINDS HIMSELF IN A SMALL BUT DEEP POND, AND THE JET IS LANDING ON TOP OF HIM
<Bloodshadow> Should we take supplys with us?
<Dragon> Get everything you can, I don't know when we'll be able to get back here. ::opens the hatch, pausing at the sight of water inches below the belly of the jet:: Um...
<Hazard> ::pushes off the jet, down to the bottom and then taking a big jump out of the pond, muttering::
<Cell> ::takes some rations and water and puts them in a random back pack::
<Bloodshadow> :::: walks back into the medical section of the jet and begins grabbing pills and bandages and other medical supplys he thinks they might need ::::
<Dragon> ACTION> SOPHIA RAISES THE JET UP ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO GET OUT, HOVERING.
<Cell> ::straps on the backpack and leaves the Jet::
<Bloodshadow> :::: has medical supplys and some house hold cleaners in his back pack ::::
<Dragon> ::goes through the storage compartments on the jet, packing supplies in a backpack::
<Cryz> ::downloads a copy of Sophia's programming and records from the team into a laptop then puts the laptop into a pack with some other various electronic parts and hops out of the jet::
<Bloodshadow> :: slings it over his shoulder and grabs a hand full of batteiers and light bulbs, and shoves them in his pockets :::
<Bloodshadow> :::: Leaves the jet :::
<Dragon> SOPHIA> I will be maintaining contact with you all through your com-units, from the base
<Dragon> ::quickly makes a tk "bridge" so Cryz and Cell and Bloodshadow don't sink like rocks::
<Bloodshadow> ::::walks over the tk bridge to the dry land :::::
<Hazard> ::stands at the edge of the pond, looking around for any idea of which direction to head::
<Cell> ::takes the bridge to dry land::
<Cryz> ::walks to the edge of the tk bridge and onto solid ground::
<Dragon> ::exits the jet as well, looking back:: Torrent?
<Bloodshadow> :::: points to his pack :: i got some medical supplys and :: grins :: some house hold cleaners .....
<Dragon> ACTION> EVERYONE GETS OFF THE JET, THE HATCH CLOSES, AND SOPHIA SINKS THE JET DOWN UNDER THE WATER, ENGAGING THE CLOAKING MECHANISMS AS WELL
<Dragon> ::reaches the edge of the pond, looking around silently:: ((Well... now where to go?))
<Torrent> ::gets out of his daze, after getting off the jet::Yeah, Dragon?
<Dragon> ::shakes her head::
<Cryz> Where to next, Captain?
<Bloodshadow> :::: looks around at the woods around them ::::: Did any one get a map?
<Dragon> ::picks a random direction and starts walking::
<Torrent> ::follows Dragon::
<Cell> ::follows behind Dragon:: Do you want me to scout ahead Dragon?
<Dragon> We should stay together as long as we're in the woods. +com+ Sophia? Where do we go to get to the nearest town?
<Cryz> ::follows everybody::
<Bloodshadow> :::: shrugs and follow's the otheres ::::
<Dragon> ::glances back at Cryz:: {{I'm sorry... some vacation, huh?}}
<Hazard> ::glances back the way they came in the jet:: Will go back to Massachusetts later.. ::turns and heads after the others::
<Dragon> SOPHIA>+com+ Keep walking the direction you're headed now
<Torrent> ::looks around, getting ready to turn water if necessary, while following Dragsy::
<Cryz> ::smirks:: ((Hmm? It's great... got to be with you... a lot, and I got to help the newly rogue mutant team))
<Dragon> ACTION> SOMETHING SCUFFLES THROUGH THE BRUSH BEHIND HAZARD
<Bloodshadow> sooooo ..... whats the plan once we reach town? steal some wheels ?
<Hazard> ::stops, letting the other continue on as he turns towards the brush::
<Dragon> Hopefully we don't have to resort to stealing..
<Dragon> ACTION> THE SCUFFLING NEARS HAZARD
<Cryz> Somebody reach into my bag and pull out the image inducers, we're going to need them.
<Bloodshadow> ::: stops and lets cryz pass him and then reaches into his bag following him pulling out the inducers :::
<Hazard> ::waits for whatever it is to come out::
<Dragon> ACTION> A BEDRAGGLED LOOKING, VERY LARGE GRAY DOG STICKS ITS HEAD OUT OF THE BRUSH AND LOOKS AT HAZARD
<Hazard> ::smirks and shakes his head, kneeling down in front of it::
<Bloodshadow> :::: hands out the inducers :::::
<Dragon> ACTION> THE DOG WAGS ITS TAIL AND LICKS HAZ'S FACE ENTHUSIASTICALLY
<Bloodshadow> hey :::: Looks around :: we lost some one.....
<Cell> ::takes and inducer:: Thanks
<Hazard> Ack.. ::turns his head away, scratching the dog behind the ears and feeling its neck for a collar::
<Dragon> ACTION> THE DOG HAS NO COLLAR, BUT HE CAN FEEL EVERY BONE IN ITS SPINE
<Hazard> ::grimaces slightly:: Damn.. ::stands up, waving for the dog to come with him:: Come on.. you can eat one of the new guys.. and wash him down with the waterboy. They're not much use anyway.
<Dragon> ACTION> THE DOG PUSHES ITS WAY OUT OF THE BRUSH, JUMPING UP AND PUTTING ITS PAWS ON HIS SHOULDERS, LICKING HIS FACE AGAIN
<Dragon> Dog> Wuf!
<Dragon> ::fiddles with her image inducer as she walks::
<Hazard> Whoa! ::backs up, wiping his face:: Okay okay.. you can come with me. ;:snickers and starts to walk the way the others went slowly, making sure the dog follows::
<Bloodshadow> :::::: observes the woods as we walk through it :::::
<Dragon> ACTION> THE DOG HEELS QUITE WELL, TRIPPING HAZ UP A FEW TIMES
<Cryz> ::presses a button and appears as a green haired man with blue eyes::
<Hazard> ::stumbles along with the dog, eventually starting to catch up with the others:: Hey, new kid! You got any food in that pack?
<Cell> Yeah where'd you get the dog?
<Dragon> ::glances at Cryz:: I don't think that really works as a disguise... ::blinks, looking back at Hazard and the very large dog::
<Cell> ::hands haz one of the rations::
<Hazard> I'm following him home and he's gonna keep me. ::unwraps the ration, handing it down to the dog::
<Cryz> ::shrugs then appears as a brownhaired man with brown eyes and very... dull looking::
<Dragon> Dog> Wuf! ::scarfs the ration down in a gulp::
<Dragon> ::eyes the dog:: Looks like a wolfhound.
<Cell> Need some more Haz? I think I have enough to be generous unless we are out here for a long time.
<Bloodshadow> ::::: looks to the image inducer ::: ok how does this thing work?
<Hazard> Yeah, give up some more.
<Dragon> ::catches up to Bloodshadow and points out the controls of the image inducer, showing him how to change settings and stuff, then hurries up to walk beside Cryz::
<Cell> ::hands Haz two more rations::
<Bloodshadow> :: nods :: thanks
<Cryz> ::glances at Drags:: Nice
<Dragon> Nice what?
<Hazard> ::unwraps 'em as well, handing them over to the dog::
<Dragon> Dog> *schlorp*
<Dragon> Dog> ::wags its tail enthusiastically, 'grinning'::
<Cryz> You look nice... with or without the inducer.
<Hazard> ::pets the dog on the head as he walks::
<Bloodshadow> :::: programs in his settings and presses the button:::
<Dragon> ACTION> THEY REACH A PAVED ROAD, ALTHOUGH NO CARS ARE GOING BY, AND SOPHIA INDICATES THAT THEY SHOULD FOLLOW IT
<Cell> ::programs the inducer and turns it on::
<Cryz> ::heads along the road::
<Cell> ::follows the road::
<Hazard> ::looks around at all the changing of appearances:: Eh, guess it's easier than plastic surgery.
