====================== IMPORTANT INFORMATION concerning the timeline
We actually are in 7.3.1., since in 7.2 the sky was Red, which conflicts with the earlier RP. So in sums:
- The sky has recently turned back to normal, Seraph having found Sati. - Seraph's cheat codes have wore off - The General is still on the run - We still do not know that the Morpheus running around is a Sim created by the General to cause confusion. - Seraph has revealed that Cryptos has been overwritten by a machine program - Veil took over the control of the Cypherites. - Agent Pace has been hit with the beta Oracle Kill-code, and recovered, but no attempts have yet been made on the Oracle herself. - Zion has learned that men and resources are leaving the city without authorization (later discovered to be Cypherite spies, but unknown to date). - The Trainman is still under the service of the Merovigian, the attempt on his life has not yet happened. - The General's commando programs have been permanently deleted by the Machines - The main base of the General, Stalingrad, is still under siege by the Machines - Unknown to Zion and the Machines, the Apothecary - the program who helped design the oracle kill-code - has been tricked by Flood, and eliminated. - Kid and EPN are still tracking the Morpheus signal, ruling out the possibility of it coming from the Real. Shimada is still alive at that time. - Zion is still secretly building New Zion, as Cypherites have yet to discover it. - Jason Lock is still the Commander of Zion
These are merely to situate us in timeline, so please do not try to use events that actually happened after that in our RPs. You can mention past events, but do not make the future ones happen. If we ever want to use actual events in our RPs we will discuss it fully before starting one, in a way that we do not screw up the real MxO storyline on a whim. Thank you.====================== Rain was falling in Mega City, blue pills scrambled for cover or tightened their trench coats to limit the deluge on their bodies. Radomir looked around as he walked around Baldwin Plaza. He liked the rain even though he knew it wasn't real. His mission tonight though was not to just idly patrol the city, it wasn't even to guard an extraction team. No tonight his job was simple. Radomir approached the pay phone and dialed the number a machine picked up. "You have reached Tiger couriers please leave your message after the tone and one of our representatives will contact you as fast as humanly possible." Radomir swallowed whilst waiting for the beep. *BEEP* "The heart shaped moon rises at 7." Radomir hung up the phone whilst most people would think the message was cryptic those who listened to that answering machine would know exactly what it meant. Radomir's phone vibrated he pulled it from his wet trench coat "Go." Rune the operator of the Cheetah was on other end of the call he could hear the tension in Radomir's voice and the rain in the background. "Is it done? Has everyone been alerted?" "It's done Rune now I just hope we can find him before its to late. Has there been any change?" "No he is still no where to be seen I don't know what happened." "I'm on my way to the exit have everything ready." Radomir hung up his phone placed it in his coat and stepped into the rain. ____________________________________________________ 10 hours previously...... The Matrix streamed down the 3 main displays. Rune rubbed his eyes he always hated it when Rsy went in on these 'scouting' missions it generally meant very little sleep for the tired operator. Suddenly he noticed a flicker in the code something not quite the same as before, as he was concentrating his panel lit up. "Operator" "Rune its me I think I'm being followed can you see anything...is it agents?" "No sir I can't see anything my screen shows nothing but a sea of blue." Suddenly he heard a sound almost like a loud crack and the line went dead. _____________________________________________________ Present time..... Radomir opened his eyes to see Rune's worried face, he looked to his left and saw Rsy still in his chair now with a drip of fluids attached to one of his imputs. Rsy had been like that for almost 11 hours since Rune had lost the signal. Radomir immediately went into action and had Rune scan the Matrix for any sign of Rsy nothing it was like he was never there but yet there was his body jacked him. They knew from his vitals he was alive they just didn't know where. Things had gotten desperate which is why Radomir jacked in he alerted the entire fleet of the pride and some allies to the fact that someone was missing but not just any operative a Captain of Zion. "What do we do now" Acebie enquired as Radomir stodd up and moved towards the operators station. "Nothing to do but keep looking and hope we find him." Radomir replied as he turned to Rune and began sweep 365 of the matrix. ((sorry for the time jump won't happen again ))

In The Real...
The Massive HvCFT flew through the abandoned sewers at full speed, trying to escape from a small team of Sentinels. On the top of the hull was a large golden coloured metalic plate saying the words HvCFT Tiger! Inside 2 members were jacked into the Matrix, while the rest of the crew manned the ship to hold off any unwanted attention. One of the features of the Tiger was it was so large it could accept a secondary power unit, to allow the Crew to be Jacked in while it moved.
Cpt Valaro was piloting the ship while Ocelet provided backup inside the "chair" room to those Jacked in. The ship was firing short bursts every 30 seconds towards the sentinels.
"Val, theres a message coming from the Matrix. Heart shaped moon rises at 7. You know what that means." Said Ocelet over Valaro's headset.
"Yeah of course! Reply to Cheetah Deliveries. Message: The mail has been deliverd for today, well be there at 7am to collect tomorrows items."
"Roger. appears theres an operative went off the radar inside, but thats all I could grasp off the intel. Maybe thats what its about at the meeting tomorrow."
"Maybe, but afterall thats happened latley with agents and kill coes nothing surprises me that things are going wrong for other crews. Tell the guys to stay Jacked in, and secure the location mentioned"
"Yes sir."
"Thats the last of the sentinels Val" Came a voice over the intercom."
Valaro, set the ship on an autopilot landing course for a small out of the way pipe system a few miles away, and made his way towards the "chair room"....

"That's the last of the sentinels Val" Ceege called over the intercom.
He always loved a bit of squiddy target practice, the tense moment before hand not knowing if they'd been spotted and the thrill of seeing every sentinel fall to the pipe filled sewer floor on his monitor. It had been a few months now since Ceege's move to The Tiger and he was loving every minute of it. Well, almost. His mind flicked back to the events just after his transferal. The mission he'd nearly ruined for Valaro and the confusion of it all. Thankfully it had worked, and it ended with the death of Agent Norris via Valaro's kill coded bullet, but it still took weeks for the bruises to heal in the real, luckily he didn't have to wear them once he jacked back in again. Ceege shook his head and turned his thoughts to better times. The party at Polyvinyl last week was off the hook! Nearly all of The Pride had turned up to hear Catzi spin some tunes and dance their asses off. He headed up to the main deck and peered over Ocelet's shoulder to read the tumbling code of the matrix on the monitors. Karaa and EichDee were on the move, chatting away by looks of it, as always, girls will be girls he thought to himself and smiled as he turned to see Valaro coming down the old rusty ladder.

- You know, what I'm about to say is going to sound really silly, but we should definitely consider jacking in to go shopping one day! - You're right, Dee. It is completely silly! - And?! We totally jack in just to party some times! How is that sillier!
Karaa and EichDee were jogging along the main street in Zia, Richland, umbrellas over their heads. Rain was falling down like crazy, but rarely did it bother zionites. They were heading towards the Bishop Casino, a mailbox not far from there being their target.
Catzi had called a Pride meeting, and to know the exact location, each Hovercraft had to retrieve a message hidden somewhere in town. The location of the messages were cripted in Catzi's sense of humour, of course, so to anyone but Pride, it would seem like a bad joke, but Pride crew members were used to dealing with them.
Her cellphone rang, and Dee brought it to her ear. Karaa was still laughing, and Dee tried to remain as serious as she could on the phone, as hard as it was.
- Dee -- Dee here! - Dee, it's Val. Did you recover the package yet? - Nope, but we're almost there! Why, those sentinels are giving you problems? - Funny, but no they're taken care of. We need you two back at the ship ASAP. We've got developments. - Alright, we'll be there in a few.
She closed her phone and put it back in her long raincoat. Karaa glanced at her, regaining her seriousness.
- What's going on? she asked. - No idea. We've got a briefing as soon as we're back in the Real. - Let's hurry then.
They kept running under the heavy rain, soon disappearing around a street corner.

Karaa and EichDee rounded the corner and were about a block away from the casino. The rain was pouring down now, almost rending the umbrellas useless. The streets were empty and gave off an eerie feeling. Karaa looked behind them for the millionth time, telling herself to stop because nothing was going to be there. She sighed. Her nerves were getting the best of her. Karaa and EichDee continued their trek down the street. Their pant legs were soaked and now the water was seeping up to their knees. Karaa looked behind her again. Even though it made sense that no one was on the street, it still felt wrong. Being on the tiger seems to have added a sixth sense to her repertoire. "Karaa, What are you looking for?" "Nothing." EichDee gave karaa a looked that said she thought otherwise. They reached the mailbox on the corner next to the casino. EichDee reached inside and pulled out the coded message. Karaa started to fidget; she felt on edge and couldn’t explain why. Her gut was twisting and her adrenaline started pumping. "Let’s go Dee." Karaa said quickly. EichDee looked up and stared at Karaa. "This message...something’s up Karaa." "When is something not." karaa smirked.

Back in the Real
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the real, where rain was but a myth something that had not been seen in decades, the operatives had all been Jacked out without any problems and Valaro called a meeting in the Dinning area. He walked into the room to see Eichdee, Karaa, Ceege, Angelis & Ocelet waiting at the table, they were all stood up straight to attention.
"Take a seat guys" he exclaimed.
In his hand was a diskette, with a worn label that said "Transmission #13875" , and some notes.
"OK, this is what we know. Radomir of the Cheetah has summoned all pride ships and any ship of Zion that can aid us to an emergency meeting. Now to most of the ships in the fleet, theres been no word what this meeting may be about, however we have one of the best damned operators I've ever had the privilege of working with and she has managed to dig up some info, not much but at least we have something. Ocelet." Looking over at ocelet he put out his hand and sat down.
"When i was trying to get in touch with you guys, I happened to come across a Zion carrier signal. It was weak and appeared to be that of Rassy or RSY as the Cheetah knows him, but I cant be sure, it could just be the Exiles laying some bait for us to follow." She sat down and looked over to Valaro.
"Either way be it Exiles, Machines or REALLY RSY we have to follow up on this. It is our duty as Zionites to protect ALL the free peoples! Now the meeting only requires Captain's and First Mate's to be there, other crew members are optional, which means I want the rest of you guys to follow up on this carrier signal. Now after our last outing I had to come up with a plan so complex and dangerous I almost lost a few of you. This time you DO NOT! lose site of each other! Under ANY circumstances! Are we clear? Ocelet will brief you on coordinates and strategies, but without proper Intel and since we haven't scouted the area that is mission objective 1. As soon as myself and Eichdee have finished at the meeting we will meet up with you guys and find out whats going on. All going to plan of course."
Valaro was about to turn to walk off. He turned back and was silent for a few seconds.
"I want you all to know that you mean everything to me! You arent just a crew. Your...Family, and thats why I want all of you out of there if anything happens! You get the slightest feeling that somethings going wrong Get Out Immeadeatly!"...

"I guess that means we're looking for Rsy" Ceege said turning to Karaa and Angelis as EichDee and the Captain went to discuss the logistics of the upcoming meeting.
"Ceege, something didn't feel right when me and Dee were just jacked in. The streets felt weirdly empty near the drop point location and things just didn't feel right"
"When does anything feel completely right in the city?"
"When at a Catzi party, haha" Ceege laughed followed by the others, "but seriously, I had my eye on the code with Ocelet as you reached the drop point and although it was a little quiet, the code read was normal"
"I'll protect you little girl" Angelis teased playfully.
"As if, I'll protect you more like slow coach" laughed Karaa.
"All ready here" Ocelet called from the main deck.
"Guess that's our que" Ceege said walking out the door.
Within 2 minutes Angelis, Karaa and Angelis were all in their jack in chairs, all plugged in, EichDee doing the honors and hitting buttons on the touch screen monitors above their heads.
In The Matrix...
Ceege's eyes "opened" to the sight of an old, abandoned room. It looked like an old hotel room. Heart of the city. He'd been to this Jack in point several times, it had become a place of legend. It's said that this very place is where Neo defeated the first Smith before he became a virus in the system.
"We're in" Ceege said into the mouthpiece of his phone.

Radomir and Acebie fidgeted in the library in one of Thalia's apartment. The pride had a long standing relationship with the exile and she allowed them access as a refuge or in this case an assembly point. "How many do you think will come?" Acebie asked whilst looking at Radomir, "We can guarantee most of the pride minus those back at new zion other then that all we can do is pray we still have friends out there." Radomir had become almost a shadow of his former optomistic self, first his brief assignment to the Tiger where on the last operation Valaro "turned" mech only to kill Norris and now Rassy his Captain and friend was missing.
The elevator arrived out poured Namroc and TameDragon, Valaro and Dee, Pylat appeared Flu following quiet as ever. but the biggest shock of all was when Ghost arrived.
Everyone entered the library where Radomir and Acebie were waiting.
Radomir turned to face the crowd. "Not since the war has an operative meeting of crews been called that held as dire a message as this, I have assembled you all here today because Rassy Captain of the cheetah needs your help."
Murmurs began in the crowd, Radomir raised his hand to quieten everyone.
"We don't know exactly what happened but 11 hours ago Rassy jacked into Sai Kung he was conducting drop site sweeps when he reported to our operator that he believed he was being followed. Soon after the line went dead and we lost Rassy. We have since been unable to find him."
Radomir knew the impact of what he was saying not since the war with the machines had a Captain of such rank been abducted.
"The only lead we have is in Sai Kung where the rest of the cheetah crew is now. However time is against us we are only a small hovercraft so must remain where we are to broadcast but we have detected squiddy activity near our sector. If we have to run we will have to pull the plug."
((Thalia's is in Magog for anyone wanting to pick up after me who was unsure.))

The small crowd of Captains started to disperse. It was great seeing everyone working together on something, as the last time so many ships were involved dated back from the time she was first awakened. But the disappearance of Rassy was nothing to joke about.
Valaro and Dee joined Radomir, Acebie and Ghost, who were going over some details. They all wore a serious expression on their faces, like pretty much all of them.
- I've got Namroc's crew heading for Sai Kung to catch up with the Cheeta, said Radomir to Valaro. I'll be leaving soon with them. Pylat said he would take the Lion's crew and head for Pride's HQ at Murasaki. - Good, confirmed Valaro. It's useless going all at the same place, it's better to spread out a bit. - Exactly, approved Ghost. The Logos II will be taking care of Downtown for now. We've got contacts that may help us track Rassy. What about the Tiger? - I think I'm going to go talk to the machines, said EichDee.
Everyone stopped moving and just stared at her, like she was out of her mind.
- Well, what? There is still a Truce, right? The machines know Zion send shadow ships on illegal missions to the Truce, that's why they keep sending squids at us, right? But they have no idea which ones we are. For all they know, I'm a normal zionite that respects the rules and the area they've given us, and I'm not involved with any of this. And machines are machines; they won't do anything unless they know they are right. And it's our best bet to rule out the machines from having anything to do with it. - I don't like it, said Valaro for everyone present. Just recently, you were intercepted by Agent Norris in Stamos; a restricted area! They must know you're with us now. - Nope! she said, tapping her earpiece. I checked all their communications at the time, and Norris never reported anything about me or Karaa. He was probably too confident he would be able to kill Karaa, and me.. well he just ignored me all the time! Kinda wanted to know why, but now I guess I won't... - Right, said Valaro, rolling his eyes. Well, we can't send you talk to the machines on your own. - He's right, approved Radomir. They might not attack you, but it's not the safest play field. - I'll go with her, said Ghost. Niobe can take care of the rest. I've had lots of negotiating with Agents in the past, they won't suspect I'm actually helping you guys. - Then it's settled! claimed EichDee, clapping her hands once. - I still don't like this, continued Valaro, but I trust you can do this. For the meantime, the rest of the crew is still following that carrier signal, and I've got a little something on my mind!

Post by Rassy - Rsy on Sept 22, 2009 15:02:58 GMT -8
Rassy opened his eyes.
He was in a round room. Completely filled with small screens of the matrix. Rassy quickly closed his eyes again. It's a bright room and he's got an extremely huge headache. He's got no idea what happened and how he got there.
Some Time Earlier: "Last thing I can remember is talking to Rune on the phone. We intercepted a weird message earlier about the dojo in Mura Saki. It didn't really say anything, but I decided to take a "closer" look around the area and since the dojo there was always one of rassy's favorites he knew the area better than anyone. Inside the dojo there appeared to be nothing wrong. And at first there was nothing different outside either. Walked around a couple of times trying to find something out of place... The streets were deserted. After about 2,5 hours I remember finding a small alley. And i'm sure that it wasn't there before. Informed Rune about the situation and walked in the alley. One of the first things I noticed was a small can that just kept bouncing about 5 cm from the floor. I decided to move along and about 5 meters further i suddenly heard 2 footsteps." "Rune its me I think I'm being followed can you see anything...is it agents?" About a second later everything went black
Rassy tried to open his eyes again His headache was killing him. "What the h*ll happened to me." he said while holding his head to focus. The room is completely empty. The floor is as white as the white halls and the roof is as black as the sky in the real. The walls appear to be made out of small screens and on every screen there is a live feed of the matrix. Rassy looked a bit closer to one of the screens. "Hey, Did I just see Ghost and Acebie there?? And was that Radomir and Valaro?? Why is everything going lightning fast?" Or could it be that Rassy was moving extremly slow.
Rassy grabbed his phone: "Hmm No connection" "What, That's impossible!" he said when he looked at his coordinates. "How can i be nowhere?" He walked around in the room but the coordinates stayed the same: 0,0,0. Rassy started to look for a way out but there was nothing to be seen but the live feed of the matrix.
Eventually he decided to do some training since it was useless to search for an exit. He got to the the center of the room and started a kata so that his headache would hopefully fade away and he could think clear again.
It was hard for Rassy to keep track of the time since all he did see was a lightning fast moving Matrix feed on te screens but after an hour or so he suddenly heard the same two footsteps again. As he turned around he realized that in all his time here he didn't even hear his own footsteps. Then everything went black again.
As Rassy opened his eyes again he recognized the floor. "I'm back" he whispered. He thought he was back in that alley again. But something was different. The sky was pink. Then Rassy past out.
As soon as Rune saw that Rassy was back inside the matrix he contacted Radomir: "Rado... i found him. he's in Sati's" Radomir: "That's great news, we'll head in right away. Is he ok? Rune: "He's in perfect shape, just not moving. His vital signs are ok." Radomir: "Great, inform the rest of the ..." Rune: "OMG... Rado you better hurry, There's agents there too... and exiles... a lot. at least 60 people in there. I'll contact the rest. He's on the north side... on the most far off island." Radomir: What?! No one can jump there... Well, we'll better get to him first.

“We’re in.” Karaa looked around, everyone knew of this location. It is ironic that Rsy’s signal would be coming from here. She felt on edge. Karaa’s whole body was humming with adrenaline. She wanted to run, needed to run. What the hell is going on? Karaa took a quick look around the room. Nothing was out of the ordinary. “Ok guys, let’s spread out and see what we can find. Ang, you take the first floor, I’ll take this floor, Karaa take third floor and the roof.” They all nodded. Angelis moved quickly out the door and down the hallway while Karaa hesitated. “Ceege, do you feel it? Or is it still just me?” Ceege looked over at the doorway. “Karaa, don’t psych yourself out. We’ll find Rassy and meet up with everyone.” Karaa sighed and walked out the door towards the stairwell. Maybe I am losing it, she thought.
When Karaa reached the third floor, she started opening unlocked doors and trying to pick locks of others. She reached the end of the hallway when her phone went off. She put it to her ear and said,“Karaa.” “Karaa, its Valaro. We got information. Rsy just popped back up in the matrix. He has a lot of heat coming his way. You need to get to him first. You’re far from where he is, but you’re closer than the rest of us.” “Coordinates?” “I’m sending them to your phone now.” Karaa was already running down the stairs to the second floor. “Understood.” “Ceege!” She yelled. Karaa heard gunshots and froze. She immediately thought the worse. They found Rsy, which means this was a setup.
((Edit: Removed middle paragraph, thought it was unnecessary.))

The sky had cleared, and the sun was now shinning on the wet polished cement on plaza in Tabor Park west, making the large puddles of water slowly dry up. The air was hot and humid, but at least the rain had stopped, no more need for umbrellas.
They were between two tall business buildings, and before them were the Richland skyscraper headquarters of the feds, one of the many base of operations of Agents in the simulation. The plaza was filled with benches and trees, with numerous bluepills, dressed in suits and tie mostly, minding their own business. Ghost, EichDee, and two of the Logos II's crew members were standing nearby, waiting for the meeting to begin. They chose a public place, as always, because neither Zion nor the Machines wanted to be tricked and betrayed by the other party; the presence of innocent bluepills made that situation easier for everyone.
Dee sat back on her bench. She glanced at the tall building before her, remembering how this used to be her old workplace, back in the days. The memories of those who died because of her came back to her mind, but she pushed the thoughts away with a smile. She learned, with time, not to blame herself for what she was doing back then. Zion had given her the chance to make things right by awakening her, and since then, the good she did far outweighed the bad. Those memories were part of her, and weren't painful anymore. She just hoped one day, Karaa would be able to understand this too.
- They are taking their time, said Ghost, pulling her out of her thoughts. - No they're not, she replied. We're the ones who came early. Machines are always punctual. - True.
A few minutes later, five Agents came out of the building and headed towards them. Dee noticed the crew members of the Logos II turning a bit nervous, but Ghost remained as calm and contained as ever. Very diplomatic, she thought. Dee got back on her feet, and took a look at her watch.
- See, right on time.
Three Agents stepped forward, while the other two stayed in the back. Five Agents against four of us... Let's hope I don't screw this up! She knew three of the Agents. Two who had stepped up were Agents Gray and Pace, both liaisons between humans and machines, and another one in the back was Agent Brown, an old version of Agents. Usually, programs that get new versions get deleted, but after the war, the fact that machines and humans had gotten closer required more Agents. The new versions of them were in charge of pretty much everything to do with current events, and human/machine relations. Old models were recycled as "guards" of some sort, watching over the restricted areas to the redpills.
- Operative Ghost, Ms. Prévost, it is satisfactory to see you, said the leader, Agent Gray. We had in hopes we could meet soon, we have a lot to talk about. - Is that so, replied Ghost, a little confused. We're glad you agreed to meet us. - Of course, this meeting is in our mutual benefit, I am sure. - How are you doing today, operativo Ghost? asked Agent Pace. - Hum... I am fine, thank you. - Not that I want to interrupt, interrupted in fact Dee, but I'm sure we all have other things to do, and don't want to waste an hour on greetings. - Indeed, replied Gray. Our time is precious these days, we cannot spare many resources. - Having trouble? asked Ghost. - We are experiencing slight... obstacles. We were hoping we could get your assistance in this matter. - Let me guess; The Frenchman, deducted Dee. - Yes, but he is not the only one we are focused on. Recent events have brought us to believe there is a connection between Veil and the Merovigian. - The Cypherites would be working with Exiles? asked Ghost.
Only a week earlier had her entire crew almost been eradicated by a trap set by cypherites and exiles, so of course she knew of their relation. But admitting she knew now would only make explain how she found out, leading to the machines knowing they were breaking the Truce. Ghost knew this too, and was acting innocent for this reason.
- Affirmative, replied Agent Gray. In the last week we had two of our trusted programs attacked by Exile-made kill codes. We believe a rogue program know as the Apothecary is helping the Merovingian creating those kill codes. Fortunately, they seem to have not been created for use against our Agents, and as such both Agent Pace and Agent Norris have recuperated and are working efficiently again.
EichDee shivered. Agent Norris is still alive... She couldn't blow it off right away though.
- You were attacked? Dee asked to Pace. - Ah! Yes, but do not worry, tesoro, I am working just fine again, thanks to Gray's assistance! - Good to know, replied Ghost. - As of this moment, continued Gray, most of our forces and resources are still being used against the General at Stalingrad. This is why I said we wanted to contact you soon. We could use some assistance with finding out what is the relation between Veil and the Merovigian. - I see, answered Ghost, thoughtful. Well, this could be advantageous for all of us. - One of our captains as gone missing in the Matrix, near Sai Kung, continued EichDee. We called you here in order to find out if you had anything to do about it. - Do you not trust us? asked Gray, tilting his head like a dog would do when he wouldn't understand something. - Not at all, we're just trying to rule out the suspects. - We know you have operatives breaking the Truce, acting freely in the simulation. We do try to get our hands on them for questioning, if that is your question. - No, those are probably E Pluribus Neo operatives, lied EichDee. They're a problem for us too, we barely allow them to dock in to resupply. But captain Rsy is one of our most trusted captains, and if you could help us find him, we will try helping you out for your problem. - Then I believe we will come to an agreement. I will relay the information to our superiors, and will contact you shortly. Agent Gray shook hands with Ghost and Dee, and left, along with the other Agents. As she shook Pace's hand, EichDee said, truthfully:
- Glad to see you're okay, Agent Pace. - Oh, grazie, Ms. Prévost. I am glad to be back!
As they disapeared back into the building, Dee mumbled:
- Not so happy about Norris though... He might cause some unwanted problems... - Aren't you a little too fond of them? asked Ghost to Dee.The machines, I mean. - Maybe. But in a real, ironic way, we're actually the bad guys here. - Hmm... We have what we wanted. We should leave. - Right!
At that moment, her cell phone rang. She put it to her ear, like she did so many times before.
- EichDee here. - Dee, it's Ocelet. We have trouble. Karaa, Ceege and Angelis have run into an ambush! - Right. Nothing ever goes the easy way! - It seems they found Rassy too! - Really?! I'm on my way!
As soon as she closed her phone, it rang again.
- Dee here. - EichDee, this is Rune, operator of the Cheetah. We've located Captain Rsy, he's in Sati's playground, surrounded by exiles! - What? No, that can't be. We just found him here, in Internationnal. - That can't be! I'm positive, that's him! - What's... going on?

Radomir picked up his phone. "Go"
"We have a problem." Rune sounded more worried then usual.
"Our Captain is missing when is that not a problem. We are almost to the Archivist to get to Sati's and get him back."
"That's the problem Radomir." Rune practically screamed down the line halting Radomir and the rest of the crew in place.
"Ok you have 10 seconds go."
"I see him in Sati's but I just spoke with Dee and she said that Ceege, Karaa and Ange have him in International and that they are pinned down in an ambush."
Radomir stared at his crew. Rune took a breathe and continued. "I didn't know what to believe either so I did a scan and well your not going to believe it. I have 8 copies of Rsy's RSI signal. I called Sparks on the Logos II and he confirmed it. Radomir I think its all a tra." Radomir cut the connection before Rune could finish.
Radomir thought to himself the world ceased to be for those few second. He knew what he had to do. He turned to face Acebie.
"Acebie, Rune called it appears there are copies of Rsy's RSI appearing everywhere. I want you to take everyone to Sati's and find out if it is really him. Don't risk your lives though if its too hot get out and get to an exit." "What about you." Acebie looked concerned "I have questions I'm going to find someone to answer them."
Radomir began to run south he pulled out his phone and dialed. "Operator?" The voice sounding less then impressed "Sparks. I need your help I need you to find me Ghost and Dee I know they went to the machines where are they now."
Radomir was running through his mind all the possibilities this turn of events meant but only one stuck out. Someone wanted the Truce over. Who was the question.
"Hmm lets see what I have here. Hmmm oh here they are outside of the Fed building in Taboe looks like they just finished polishing the suits shoes wonder how much they charge for that."
"Sparks listen to me I need you to contact Ghost and Dee have them meet me in Camon." Radomir picked up the pace.
"Is there anything else you would like your worship perhaps a white christmas?" Spark's usual sarcasm.
"Just do it Sparks." Radomir felt more irritated at his light hearted banter then usual.
"Ok ok your wish is my keystroke colon double backslash execute command, Oh and one more thing when you see Ghost ask him if he buys it can I have his boo...." Radomir hung up the phone and ran towards Camon.

Ceege rolled into the hallway from one of the apartments down the hall, a cyph tried to follow but his body fell with a sickening thud, not even making across the threshold out the apartment. "A little busy here, Kar. " Just then another Cyph was going through the doorway. Karaa made to move forward but was jerk back by an arm coming around her neck, she didn't get her hands up in time to prevent the maneuver. She gaged as her feet flailed off the ground. Her attacker was tall, her feet couldn't touch the ground, taking away any advantage she might have had. Karaa's attacker shifted and his arm tighten she gasped in response. Her hands were on his arms trying to dislodge them. Too strong. Karaa moved her hands from his arms to his head. She used one hand to push his left eye in, his head flew back immediately trying to get out of her reach. She then used her other hand and thrust her palm upward connecting with his nose. His arm loosen and she fell to the ground in a crouch gasping. Karaa put her hands on the floor for balance as she kicked out and landed a hit to his groin. He stumbled backward in pain, cursing. Karaa rose from her crouch till her knees were bent in a kung fu attack stance. She could hear noises coming from the stairwell. Her assailant rose with blood covering his face. "Your going to regret that." His voice was rough. "Like I haven't heard that before." Karaa's voice was sarcastic. Karaa smirked as the cyph charged toward her. She leaned on her back foot and then launched herself forward.
