Hondo hated coffee....she knew this was not going to be easy.

Rosie filled a cup and tiptoed down the basement stairs again. Hondo was still snoring contentedly under the bench. He looked so peaceful, she hated to wake him. Oh well.

"Hey." She said softly as she knelt beside the bench. No response. Setting down the coffee, Rose reached over and moved a tendril of blonde hair away from Hondo's eye before shaking him by the shoulder "Hey! Wake up!" she said a little louder.

"Hmm? Oh, hey Rosie. What's up?" Hondo said as he blinked a few times and slipped on his glasses.

"F-Fernando wants the basement and told me to wake you." She took a long pull of her cream soda before she pressed the cup of coffee into his hands. "I know you detest this stuff, but Fernando told me to give it to you."

Hondo took a sip and wrinkled his nose at the coffee. He eyed Rose carefully, a half concerned look on his face "You ok? You seem nervous."

Rose glanced up the stairs and swallowed visibly. She summarized the speech Fernando had given Tammy. "And then he told me he needed the basement in.....just over ten minutes now." she said. "He said not to worry if I heard screaming." She glanced pale and large-eyed at Hondo as he tried to force down more coffee. She always tried so hard to not be afraid of so many things, but it never worked.

"Well, we better get out of his way then." Hondo said as he heaved himself from the floor. "Would you like me to sit with you upstairs in case it get a little loud down here?" He sounded unconcerned as he looked her calmly in the eye. Rosie just blinked a few times, but nodded. Hondo followed her back upstairs, still not entirely awake.

Hondo walked slowly up the stairs to the livin' room. He sat down on the couch scowled at his coffee then at Fernando.
"I hate coffee, but I abhor this sheep dip you make!" Hondo growled.
"It won't kill you. wake you fast though. just don't let Rose have any, it might kill her." Fernando said with a straight face. Rose turned a little whiter at that comment. Hondo just harumphed.
"Is he serious?" Rose asked Tammy.
"I don't know, but i wouldn't doubt him1" Tammy said. Roses eyes got bigger.
"Well, your basement is Free, at the price of wakin' me, for your beat up on Tammy session." Hondo said flatly. Tammy's eyes now got big.
"Thanks." Fernando said.
"if the screamin' stops, I'll come check to make sure you both are still breathin'." Hondo muttered.
"fine. Come on Tammy." Fernando said. A still wide eyed Tammy followed. as the door closed to the basement, Rose was still standin' starin' at the door.
"Come sit down by me, Rose. I think the history channel has a western history special on." Hondo said. that helped snap her out of it. She sat down right next to Hondo and started to shiver. Hondo knew the poor little gal was scared now. He put a soft blanket over her shoulders and put his arm 'round her to give her a reasurin' hug.
"Don't worry little lady, Fernando knows what he is doin'. He won't hurt her bad. She just has to learn a few things and it can be painful when you first learn new things of this nature." Hondo said with a still half asleep smile and a wink. Rose gave him a half smile. she then leaned her head against his shoulder and tried to concentrate on the history special instead of what might be goin' on downstairs.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction. ImageIf you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

Fernando tells Tammy to stand in the middle of the room, while he takes Bink to a set of shelves on the wall. He whispers something to her ear and she hands over her guns to him. He places her weapons on the shelf, and then pins something to her shirt and sutffs it down her collar, but Tammy did not noticed this action. Bink then goes to stand by Tammy.

Fernando: Tammy?
Tammy: Yes?
Fernando: Just making sure that you are still paying attention.

Fernando takes out his gun and switches magazines, after doing a bit of searching for the right one.

Tammy: What is this place?
Fernando: Its a weapons locker area of sorts. The good stuff is in the sub basement under the garage.
Tammy: Oh? Are we going there?
Fernando: Not just yet.

Fernando has a little difficulty with his gun, but finally gets it in order.

Fernando: Are you going to do what I tell you to do?
Tammy: I will try my best, sir...
Fernando: No. You are going to do what I tell you to do. Understand what that means.
Tammy: What do you mean?

Fernando draws his gun to Bink and pulls the trigger. Bink falls on the floor, bleeding from a chest wound.

Tammy (bending down to Bink and yelling loudly): NOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!! WHY?!!!

Tammy picks Bink up and holds her close to her. Fernando walks to Tammy, placing the gun to her temple.

Fernando: Put the body down.
Tammy: NOOO!!!
Fernando: Tammy, this is your final chance, put the body down...
Tammy: Are You Going To Kill Me Too? Go Ahead Then!
Fernando: Have it your way then... Bink, smack her.

Bink springs back to life and gives Tammy a cold hard slap to the face. Tammy drops her sister to the floor, but Bink catches herself from falling. Tammy could only stare back her her sister, and the blood covered clothes that they are now wearing.

Fernando: If this were a real mission, you would be dead along with your sister, Tammy. You have to get passed that. Bink is already trained to continue onward if her handler- in this case- you- are killed in battle. The success of the mission depends on this. You have to continue without Bink if she were to be killed in a mission.

Tammy just sits there, doing poorly on her sorting out of her emotions. Fernando takes his gun and places it at her chest betwen her breasts.

Fernando: You have to take all that anger and all that emotion and turn them into action that will complete the mission. You have to take all that negativity and turn it into something positive. If you dont, you fail. You fail, you are dead. I'm not going to accept failure...

Fernando walks away as Tammy starts to cry. She stops after a while.

Fernando: Bink, you think you can teach her?
Bink: I dont know.
Fernando: Why not?
Bink: Most of my control comes from the conditioning medication.
Fernando: Dont let that fool you. Teach her the basics of mission objectives.

Binks tries to tell Tammy what she knows: Gather orders, assess the mission/area/targets, take over actions, take actions, reassess mission/orders, complete mission.

Fernando finds a couple of folding chairs for them to sit on...

Fernando: Killing is not right... unless there is no other options to take. Self defense, defense of others, protection of yourself and of others. When they have considered you as a threat to their existance that you should be eliminated, when they have put a vaule on your life that you are worth little or nothing to them, but- worst of all, a reward on your head which others would dare collect on. Killing is a final solution to a problem, and once you have done it once, the rest are easy. I'm telling you this from experience- its easy to kill. Its easy to take an action that terminates somebody else's life. But you have to decide for yourself whether or not you can live with yourself after doing this. Because in the end, its going to be their life or yours that continues while the other ends.

Tammy: I think I understand.

Fernando: You dont. Bink, how many you think you killed over the years?

Bink: About 85 bad guys.

Fernando: And when you kill, what are you thinking?

Bink: That I'm doing this to stop them from hurting and killing other people. That I'm protecting them, my handler and myself from their future actions. That I am mad because of what they have done, and that they dont care about anyone else but for themselves.

Fernando: And you are willing to do this, even if it means that you may get hurt or killed in the process?

Bink: I'm willing to do this because I am stronger and faster than they are, and getting hurt or killed is part of the job, although at most with my cyborg parts, killing me is almost impossible, and hurting me is pointless. The pain just goes away quickly and I continue with the job.

Fernando: 85...

Bink: Give or take.

Fernando: I've only killed 19 or 20 in my time. But its all the same. Tammy?

Tammy: Yes?

Fernando: You sure you are up to this?

Tammy: I will do as I must.

Fernando: Initiation By Fire, then.

Tammy: Huh?

Fernando: Before you wake up tomarrow- you will have killed your first tonight.

Tammy: I cant.

Fernando: You must and you will.

Tammy: Why?

Fernando: Its to make all your other killings easier. But also, because you will be put into a situation where you will have to kill another in order to save yourself. Go wash up and then rest. I'll see about arrangements about later tonight.

Tammy: I am not going to hunt another being so I could kill them.

Fernando: No, you are not. But you will be placed in a situation, where you will have to defend yourself, and the only way to get out of it is to kill your way out of it.

Tammy: And if I refuse?

Fernando puts his gun in front of her.

Fernando: Put that to your temple and pull the trigger. Even though its loaded with blanks right now, at that range- blanks can kill. Look at what happened to Brandon Lee.

Bink takes the gun as Tammy reaches for it and pushes it away.

Bink: I'll be nearby to help you...

Fernando takes his gun and holsters it.

Fernando: There are many 'Rule Number 1', this one is- never allow yourself to be in a knife's range when you have a gun. By the time you aim to shoot, they would have put the knife into your belly. Always keep yourself at a distance further than double your arm's reach. Always have a way to step back. And always be able to point your gun to shoot and hit your target without aiming. One shot is all you need to slow them down.

Tammy: Is that all?

Fernando: For now.

Fernando reaches to the shelf on the wall, picking up a small packette that look like a sealed moist towlette packette with a clip on its back. He leans over to Tammy and clips it to her shirt. She looks at it, wondering what it is.

Fernando: Just one thing though,Tammy.

Tammy: What's that?

Fernando unholsters his gun and aims it towards her but to miss. He pulls the trigger, which is followed by a loud bang, and Tammy feels a slight thump or kick to her chest, as the package ruptures open and spills red-blood like fluid on her shirt.

Fernando: You're dead.

Tammy takes her fingers to the red fluid as oozes down her shirt and sniffs it.

Fernando: Yeah... Rasberry extract makes a convincing blood splatter. Dont you think?

Tammy just looks at it, then at him, and nods slightly.

Fernando: Lets go up stairs.

Midnight comes down the stairs from his room and sees Giacomo sit at his desk. In front of him is his computer, a satellite phone, a two-way radio, and an assortment of other devices. The desk itself is built into the cupboards in his living-room and can be hidden by folding upward the part on which the keyboard and the mouse are lying.

"Any news?" he asks.

"Little," Giacomo replies. "I was able to gather some intell about these mice in black. They call themselves 'Onyx,' by the way. They're supporting that local Mafia group who in turn do a lot of dirty work for them. And according to unproved rumors, their support might reach as far as the LSD traffickers. But so little is known about them that the Rescue Rangers had no clue as to whom they had hired to help you, and they took their chance to try and take you out. These people are so self-confident that they didn't even take into consideration that you might survive and get away with their stuff."

"They're limited to Rome?"

"Rome and the surrounding area which includes Nemi."

"How many are they? With that influence, they need to be several hundred."

"Actually, and that's something I found out recently, they're just about two dozen, but they're equipped with lots of high-tech gadgetry."

Midnight takes a chair and sits down next to Giacomo. "And yet they can't tap satellite phone."

"Not since they were made believe satellite phone is dead. Another reason why they must never find my hideout, let alone my equipment."

"So what shall we do now? Sitting around and waiting for intell or orders leads to nothing."

"What can we do?" Giacomo asks. "You, in particular, are wanted dead or alive by these people. They'd hunt you!"

"Well, in that case, we're gonna turn things around. And hunt them for a change!"

For a while, Giacomo thinks silently before he speaks again. "Is it true what the RAS says about your team? That you've got everything from former SWA cyborg assassins to a battleship?"

"That, and a lot in between it. Do you still believe we've got no chance?"

"Uhm..." Giacomo clearly doesn't know what to say. He has never worked with a bunch of semi-professional crime-fighters with such a firepower.

"So, where shall we go to find these guys?"

"Er... The best would be..."

"Nemi?" Midnight suggests. "For that's where my folks are. And if the Onyx are after me, they're after them, too. This has to stop."

A few minutes later, a dark green Landrover Defender leaves the forest, heading for Nemi.


Midnight

"Hondo? Do you know where Fernando is?" asks the AI, holding a book.

"In the basement, not to be disturbed. What's that book?"

"A full list of every match I've found to the times and places of arrests related to LSD in Italy. The closest match appears to be the feed from a weather satellite in..."

Hondo, flipping through the book, interrupts. "Most of this stuff looks like coincidence."

"It probably is, but I have trouble telling the difference between coincidence and noncoincidence."

Rosie had nearly passed out at the first gunshot and Tammy's screams, but she pulled herself together. I really should be taking notes on this TV show. She thought. At the second shot she stiffened again and didn't realize her hand was closed like a vice on Hondo's arm until he patted it and tried to pry it off.

Rose peeked over Hondo's shoulder at the book. She looked from CCC to Hondo and back again.

"What does a weather satellite have to do with LSD arrests."

"Coincidence." Hondo dismissed the AI with a wave. Just then Fernado, Tammy, and Bink burst in from the basement. The blood colored spatter all over the girls clothes caused her to gawk for a minute.

"Stuff keeps getting weirder and weirder around here." she said to herself. She returned her focus to the TV as she picked at a popcorn-oil stain on her purple t-shirt saying to Fernando "Tell me if we are heading out somewhere, I need to change clothes first."

Fernando (to Rose): You have a few hours to rest up. We move at 11pm.

Hondo: Where are we going?

Fernando: A little 'On of the job training.'

Hondo: Huh?

Fernando: She needs to learn how to deal with certain situations.

Hondo: What are you planning?

Fernando: I'm just going to release her to wild life of the night.

Hondo: That would be dangerous for her.

Fernando: It would be dangerous, if she is not able to act fast enough. Now, all of us here are in a situation where our lives are worth the brown stuff on a used piece of toilet paper to those we are about to go up against. If Tammy can not fight back on her own accord and ability, then we might as well give up on this.

Hondo: And if she gets hurt?

Fernando: Thats the price that needs to be paid. If she can get beyond this, then we can continue with the case. OK- I know what what you're thinking... Lets leave it at that.

Hondo: I'm not into getting our own kind hurt if it is possible.

Fernando: Remember your first fight? So, you got hurt, but you fought back, right? Well, Tammy needs to be a fighter and not be a victim.

Fernando: Thats good to know, Alex. Call Midnight and tell him to what he can but I prefer him to be here with us. I need to make a phone call...

Fernando walks over to the phone, pulling out a card from his pocket and dails the number on it.

Fernando: Hello Marco. It is I, Fernando. We got a bit of a situation, and need a little help. Oh? About 80 O-As (Onyx Agents) not too far from us. We'll use it as training for Tammy... yes... Tammy, but we'll need a little back up. You and Hillshire will bring the girls? Good. (Gives secret directions.) See you in about an hour? OK. Thanks.

Fernando hangs up the phone.

Hondo: Who was that?

Fernando: Remember Angelica and Triela? They're coming over for 'dinner'.

After a brief pause.

Fernando: By the way- what do we have to eat around here or do we have to hit the local supermarket for supplies?

Midnight receives Alex's phone call as he and Giacomo have already reached Nemi. "Thanks, Alex," he replies and says to both him and Giacomo, "These guys are surely getting cheeky now. Giacomo, was it that what you meant with, 'They'll be taken care of?'"

"So to speak," Giacomo answers. "Speaking of which, do you see the van over there?"

A black Fiat Ducato is parked on the side of a street which Midnight identifies as the one the Safe House is in. Actually, the Safe House is not even far away, but not directly across the street. "Yup. That thing looks like the one they brought my bike with."

"Onyx. They're probably spying on someone. One of the buildings in this neighborhood is buggy. And today's technology makes such actions possible without the use of a huge whip antenna."

"And I think I know which house it is. End of surveillance, now comes the action."

The Landrover stops behind the van, the two cars standing back to back. Midnight gets out and busy between the two vehicles before he climbs into the Landrover's rear door. "Let's go," he says.

Giacomo carefully pushes down the accelerator, and the Landrover begins to pull the Italian van backwards. The cars slowly but steadily gain speed until suddenly the doors on the rear end open. One of the four mice in black suits asks, "Hey, what's goi-" but doesn't get any further. He sees the Landrover. He sees the mouse in the trench coat in its open rear door. Like his teammates, he reaches for his gun, but Midnight has already been holding one and aiming. Three silenced shots are barely heard, but the fourth mouse jumps out of the side door and back into the front where he sits down on the driver's seat.

"Floor it, Giacomo!" Midnight shouts. "I wanna have a look at this from outside." He jumps out, too, and steps out onto the street. Both cars accelerate at once, but the van doesn't get far. Not only has Midnight attached a rope between them, but he mounted it on the Landrover's sturdy underframe and the Fiat's rear axle which is torn out of its mounts, American Graffiti-style. The driver of the wrecked van opens the door with a gun in the other hand but is soon hit by another shot. Midnight catches him before he hits the tarmac. "Thanks, Giacomo," he says while he drags the mouse back to the Landrover. "Now get the other ropes and help me with these guys."

"Why did you tranq them instead of killing them?" Giacomo asks.

"Because dead mice don't talk," Midnight answers while he ties one of the mice in black up like a roulade. "And I suppose these guys know things I'd like to know. Probably even more than the lackeys Alex took out in the forest." He takes his phone and calls the mission leader. "Fernando? This is Midnight. First of all, your Safe House isn't that safe, I suspect it to be bug-infested. ... Yes, Onyx. We've taken care of them. You wanna interrogate them? ... Alright, I'm on my way. See you."

"What did he say?" Giacomo wants to know.

"I shall come to the Safe House as soon as possible which is right now. And yes, he wants to see these guys."

They unload the black Ducati and Midnight's several cases from the back of the Landrover and lay the four knocked-out Onyx mice into the now free space so that they don't have to carry them along the street to the Safe House. Before he gets onto the bike, Midnight puts his cases onto the Landrover's driver's seat and detaches the rope which put the van out of service from both the Landrover and the remains of the van.

(OOC: I see you seem to like the Onyx idea. Well, as I haven't planned much more for them, you may come up with more details.)


Midnight

" of course I remember the girls, and i bought some jerky and cheese earlier, so if you want a good meal we'll have to hit the road." Hondo said.
"well, we can eat what you got for now, and stop at a restaurant later if we must." Fernando said. Fernando headed for the kitchen to see what else there was. He never seamed to appreciate Hondo's fondness of jerky and cheese. Hondo sat back on the couch again and worked on checkin' the pistols he had on him. his others he had pre-checked and had ready in the truck. Rose decided to rest some. she laid her head against Hondo's shoulder and closed her eyes. Hondo glanced at her as he cleaned his guns. Yes she reminded him of Gadget some. He started thinkin' 'bout when he and the rangers first met, his crush on Gadget and the fights they had been in. He and Gadget had became good friends fast, but did soon realize they would never be more than that. Hondo was a loner and a killer and that never sat well with her. Gadget always paid all her attention to her inventions and when on an inventin' kick, she didn't pay anyone any mind and that drove him nuts. They still kept in touch, but Hondo had only seen her on missions since she and Chip got together. he never liked Chip, but she did, so he tolerated him. after she and Chip got together, Hondo had started wanderin' again. he based out of the cafe, mostly, but was not seen much unless you count the few midnighters. he had been back from a wander that day when Tammy burst into the cafe and claimed Bink was kidnapped. It felt good to sink his teeth into a good case and to fight the odds. He acquired a lot more acquaintances and a few friends on that mission. Fernando had been one of the friends he had acquired and the other was Rose. He had talked to her a few times on the cafe before that mission, but it was just chit chat, nothin' much. at that time too Hondo had his eye set on Gadget so he didn't even notice if anyone else was 'round most of the time then. he had snapped out of it faster than some have. it was not until Hondo was on the Enterprise durin' the last mission that he and Rose had really started to talk. he didn't realize what I nice gal she was until then. He had wish he could have got to known her better on that trip, but after the mission was over Hondo stayed 'round the cafe more often to talk to his new found friends, and as he was a loner, friends were few and far between. He looked down again at the restin' Mouse girl beside him and had to smile. She had really became a good friend to him and he hoped that Friendship would last the times, no matter where his travels took him, or what the future might bring.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction. ImageIf you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

"Communique from Command, sir."

"Hmm?"

*In the center seat aboard Enterprise, RangerReady looks up, still bearing a distracted expression. Something just hadn't let him rest easy, since Rose left the ship to join the mission team. Call it apprehension, call it sentiment...call it what you like, but he has it in spades, and the worry lines etched under his midnight blue eyes bely the broken sleep cycles of the past several nights. Yawning, he takes the sheaf of paper in hand.*

"Anything of note to report?"

"You...might want to read it for yourself, sir."

*A spark of intuition flashes in RR's eyes, and he comes fully alert, diving into the short stack of paper with intensity. Scanning the main body of the text, his expression turns to one of shock...then irritation...then worry...and then a combination of the three.*

"Get the acting XO up here. I need someone to take the bridge, and take it now!"

"Where're you going, Captain?"

*Gesturing across the Italian landscape, RangerReady heads out the rear doors of the bridge, shouldering out of his uniform jacket as he goes.*

"Where do you think?"

*As he disappears belowdecks, an annoyed growl is heard by the rest of the bridge crew.*

"And Command is just sending us this now?"

Spy work has always been the mainstay and lynch pin of many organizations, nations, wars, and battles. This one will be no different, as Fernando sits in the kitchen, tap-typing something on his PAW-device. A few seconds later, a list comes up on the printer.

Fernando: Will somebody take care of that?

Rose gets up and pulls the sheet from the printer and reads it:
Code:
12 fillet minion
2 pounds of mushrooms
1 pound of onions
assorted vegetables
tomato sauce.
Beer
wine (red, preferably a chardoney)
ETC.

{Map of the area and the nearest large supermarket is at the bottom}

Rose: Its a shopping list?

Fernando: You guys choose on who's going. I have to check the basement for more supplies (and think over this plan in silence, thanks to Midnight's new intell).

Rose looks at Hondo, who shrugs his shoulders at her. Then she turns to Alex II, who also does the same thing. Finally she looks at Tammy and Bink, who both look like Emergency Room Escapees.

Rose: What about money?

Fernando tosses a credit card to her, she catches it in mid flight.

Fernando: Dont worry about the money. Just dont go to the Lamborghini Dealership and think you can get a new 12V Diablo with that.

Rose: Lamborghini?

Hondo: Its one of those fancy sports cars, Rose.

Rose: I know that. But if I were to get a new car, it would be a Honda.

Hondo: A Ford pickup would be better.

Fernando: How about the food? Add some pepper hot sauce to that.

Alex II walks over to Rose and looks over the list.

Alex II: Whats ETC?

Fernando: Anything you may need due to dietary needs, Alex II. Some cheese, cold cuts and bread would be nice to add.

Rose (looking at Hondo as she starts to step out to the door): Care to come with me?

Hondo: I'll go...

Alex II: Make room for me.

Both Hondo and Alex II walk out to the house behind Rose. After a couple of minutes, Hondo's truck can be heard driving away.

Fernando walks over to CCC and hands him a slip of paper. CCC opens it and reads it.
Code:
According to Midnight, who is on  his way with a couple of prisoners, this place is bugged. It should not be, but I would not put it pasted anyone since maintenence here is kept to a minimum.

Here are the access protocols and pass codes to the USA Military KH-21 spy-sats, one is always passing over head every 3/4 hour. You can access archived images and videos for up to 6 months on them. There is a 10-minutes access limitation on them though; so its best to dump their archives to here for your proccessing. There are 20 KH-2 satellites that pass over us to cover the area, and their archives cover their orbital tracks.

If you like, you send send a few tripods to search for the bugs and do as you like with them, while you deal with the images.


CCC acknowledges the messages with a nod.

Fernando: Tammy, there should be some clothes up stairs for you and your sister. Unless you want to lay on the floor and play dead for the rest of the night, I would advice you two to change.
