Midnight Man  
- - - - -  
As he is ordered to, Midnight arrives on the bridge, offering a fairly strange look for someone who claims not to be a fighter most of the time. His tranq sniper rifle is mounted on his back, one holster holds the tranq pistol Fernando has built, and the other one the Micro Uzi in case a blazing, live ammo-loaded automatic would be needed. "Dark in here," he comments. "Not that I complain, that is, I don't need that much light to see."
He then receives the latest information about Admiral Donnelly's planned vendetta which seems to reach from sabotage to use of heaviest naval artillery. Being someone who doesn't like to lose against a criminal who tries and probably even succeeds in hiding his activities by using heaviest armaments against the investigators just because he can, Midnight can barely keep himself from suggesting hacking into the US nuclear defenses via Protocol 7, mounting a multiple-megaton warhead on a Minute Man ICBM, striking the USS North Carolina from above (an attack she can never defend herself against, neither with guns nor with massive steel plates), and making it look like an accident. Instead, he comes up with a much cleaner idea.
"We've got lots of jet fuel on this ship, haven't we? And we've got the Learjets. And business jets are known to be equipped with 110V outlets, not only for electric shavers, but also and especially for laptops. I propose feeding any mobile equipment from the Learjets as long as moving around on the flight deck is not too dangerous." After a short pause, he adds, "And Fernando, did Donnelly succeed in locking you away from Protocol 7 access? He may have his dirty tricks, but our clean tricks are way better."

<Message recieved>
<Originator: Fernando>
Code:
Interesting. I don't recognise this IP address, and it's not on the DNS, either. Perhaps I should pay it a visit sometime.
 


<Message text: CCC, DOS: There's been a few problems here, Could you get into the naval computer defense system to see if there are any orders against the rescue mission?>
Code:
Shouldn't be all too hard. Naval system? Why would they be ordering against the rescue? Organic life is really amazingly complex at times. Well, the easiest way into there would be via the emergency backdoor in the Texas...
 


Five minutes later, Fernando gets an email, routed via the Skynet systems:
"Fernando
Two ships have been ordered to ensure that the Enterprise does not reach port - the Texas and the North Carolina. The orders were both issued by one Admiral Donelly; I am still researching the reasons for this, but in the meantime I have changed the password on his account randomly and arranged to cut the power to the building he is in. When the UPS on his PC runs out, he will have some difficulty in logging in again until he can get to the network admins. Of course, the switchboard and the lifts are both out, so that will take him some time.
In the meantime, I'm simply flooding the network to cut him at least largely off.
Current positions and speeds, together with vital statistics for both the Texas and the North Carolina are attached. I hope they are helpful.
I must say, this skynet system is most interesting. I thank you for drawing it to my attention.

Sinclair enters the bridge, wearing the blood-stained guard uniform for a change. He had his DL-17 in a holster.
"Any news about the saboteur?"
"None so far. But that's not all. Texas and North Carolina had been orderes to intercept us."
"Texas? That's Eddie's ship. Do you think he will turn on us?"
"I highly doubt it. He is an honorable sailor. He would never obey an order that goes against his code."
"Bottom line: by whose order?"
"Admiral Donnelly."
"Right. First priority: restore power. Second priority: find the saboteur. Then we can take care of the admiral and his strike force. One way or another."

<Back in the USA>
Within hours of recieving the information packette, various agencies begin to have emergency meetings, news media companies send out investigative reporters to validate the information and gather more intell before print-deadlines. Even the president recieved an improntu wake up call.
UN: Emergency sessions of the General Assembly has been called, challegening the nations and companies involved in 'Project WarriorMaid.' The US Ambassidor claims to have no knownledge for a project over 10 years old. Surprise inspections are in order, starting with the USA, then Italy and other nations.
USA: An Emergency Joint Session of Congress has been stirred up a hornet's nest of activity and accusations. Amoung those dragged into this meeting is the VicePresident, who is being accused of withholding information.
The CIA and FBI jointly work on an investigation of all known government computer systems. NORAD has been forced to cease all operations and cooperate with te investigation. NORAD only complies to prove that it is not involved with the project, but to hide several others of their own.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff arrive at the White House to an angry President Mouse (aka: The Shrub). The White House secretaries have been told to hold all phone calls for the next 24 hours or until further notice. Unfortunately, the Press is hounding the White House Phone lines. The meeting is interrupted by several members from Congressal House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and the United States Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on SeaPower and Subcomittee on Personel. The Vice President was also in attendance.
All fingers point at the US, its military with its project head being Admiral Donnelly (Other nations involved are under going their own shake down). Culpability is being forced down to those involved with Admiral Donnelly. Within hours, commands are made from the Joint Chiefs to the policing arm of the Navy. The Provost Marshal's Office, Master-at-Arms and Shore Patrol are order to arrest the Admiral, his staff, and nullified any orders he has made within the past 30 days. Each order is then transcripted and investigated.
The Admiral find the email on his computer.
Code:
Subject: 5-card stud.
Message: You called my bluff. I have 2 duces. I know you have nothing but a bunch of random cards.
 


He sits on his desk, trying to figure out the message when choas breaks out just outside his office.
Admiral Donnelly opens his door, finding several armed uniformed officers holding his staff for arrest. A Uniformed Officer walks to the Admiral.
Uniformed Officer: Admiral Donnelly, We are from the Pentagon Police. We are placing you under arrest. (Then he turn to one of officers in the room) Major, secure the admiral's computer.
Major: Yes Sir.
Admiral Donnelly is dragged away in handcuffs, yelling about how he would vindicated and how his connections of Higher Ups will do his bidding in getting even with those invovled in the arrest. The Major calls out from the the admiral's officer.
Major: Commander?
The Commander walks into the officer.
Commander: Yes Major?
Major: You need to read this.
The Commander read the Admiral's email, referencing about the poker bluff being called.
Commander: Thats suck to lose to a pair of Duces. Continue with securing this unit- back up the hard drive and save all files before unplugging the unit.
Major: Will do sir.
Hours laters when the Pentagon receives the Admiral's computer, more incrimidating evidence: Orders to sink the Enterprise.
Counter Orders are made to bring the entire Atlantic Fleet to port with staff to remain at their stations. The Enterprise and her fleet is ordered to stay in the Mediterranean Sea and await further orders. All men at sea are ordered to be at their stations, captains are use their discretion at any order given to them by fleet admirals, and to ignore any orders that endangers any other ship in the fleet.
To Captains RangerReady23 and Eddie, this means that the spies within their ships will go into hiding amoung the crew, but work as begun to findout who they are. All areas of the ships are guarded and access to all areas restricted except to the Captain and his bridge staff.
Within hours of Admiral's arrest and his orders nullified, Fernando's Internet connection is restored later that evening. Until then, the day continues.

Hondo I. Sackett

Hondo finds out that Fernando's internet is up again and allowing messages to come through. He once again briefly tells him what he was going to do and asks if he wants anything special done. after that he settles back and waits
( the one thing he does not like to do).
*I wish we could have done more.* Hondo thinks as he looks out at the airport and the city behind it. *I believe we could have done more, but how?*

Fernando  
- - - - -  
Midday in Fernando's Quarters, Tammy enters with Bink and Claes. Fernando is putting back together his laptop, resoldering the wireless network connector. The door was unlocked and he was expecting them, but not so soon. They close the door behind them, standing in front of the door.
Fernando: Have a seat, ladies.
They all look at each other, then at the fold-away deck bed. It being a single bed room with its own desk, it had to have been one of the lower ranking officers which is on loan to him. They walk over to the bed and sit on it. Fernando finishes up his work, soldering the last bit of wire together, and the closes the machine. He unplugs the soldering iron and puts it to the side.
Fernando says to himself: I hope that works.
Tammy: Fernando?
Fernando: You had a question for me?
Tammy: Who's going to take care of Cleas?
Fernando looks at Cleas for a moment.
Fernando: I dont know yet.
Tammy: We'll need an answer before we get home.
Fernando: The mission is not over.
Tammy: Your mission is not over. Your mission in rescuing my sister is.
Fernando: Bink, you willing to accept Tammy as your new handler?
Bink turns to look at Tammy, and thinks but gives no answer. More surprizingly, Claes gives an answer.
Claes: I would like you to be my handler.
Fernando: Me? Why?
Claes: Because I dont have a handler, he died. I have been sent to other handlers, but it is not the same as having your own handler.
Fernando: But, why me?
Claes: Because you saved me from the terrorists, you are somebody who I can trust.
Fernando: I see.
Tammy: Looks like somebody has a crush on you.
Fernando (staring at Tammy sterny): its obvous that she's not the only one.
Tammy: What are you talking about?
Fernando: Nothing.
Tammy: Explain yourself.
Fernando: You willing to take care of your sister, more than you may think you may have too?
Tammy: I'll do anything now that I have her back.
Fernando: She's a broken girl, Tammy. She'll need to be put back together.
Tammy: Broken? How?
Fernando: She's been through a lot, more than most see in a lifetime. She's going to require a lot of attention to get her to near normal.
Tammy: I can only do what I can do.
Fernando: You'll be asked to do more.
Tammy: I'll do what I can.
Fernando: Saying and doing are two different things. You're 20, and now you just became a mother to your sister, so a lot more is expected.
Tammy refuses to respond to his comment.
Claes: What else needs to be done?
Fernando: I need to rescue the other girls.
Claes: A noble gesture, but why?
Fernando: No girl as young as you should ever be a Gunslinger.
Claes: What if they dont want to leave?
Fernando: Why would they stay? Section 1 is no more. Section 2 will soon follow. If the handlers are not arrested soon, they will abandon their girls when things get too much to handle. I would like to save them from that before it happens.
Claes: Would it be possible to not have certain handlers arrested?
Fernando: Why?
Cleas: If it is possible, I would like Olga not to be arrested because we would listen to her better than if we were with you.
Fernando: Nice to know that I loved, I swear.
Tammy giggles a bit, but Bink and Claes do not understand why.
Fernando: Guys, how about letting me think about everything. I dont know about you, but I have not slept in days.
Tammy: Alright girls, lets go and bother him later.
They get up off the bed and leave the room. Tammy closes the door behind her, and for a second, can be heard talking to somebody else.
Tammy: Dont go in there, he's still in that grumpy mood again.
Fernando (to himself, alone in the room): Yeah, it is nice to be loved... Now if I can only be left alone sometimes.

Jean and Hilshire thought it would be best if they split. If one team is captured, the other is still free. Jean and Rico are together in the SUV.
"Jean?" Rico asked.
"What?"
"Is Angelica. . . . Do you think she is going to die?"
"I doubt she has long to live. A cyborg's lifespan is limited. The question is how to best utilize the time you have. Don't worry. You sill have a long while to go."
"OK."
At the hospital the surgeons successfully repaired her injuries. The problem is the cybernetic implants have taken their tole on Angelica's brain and other living organs. Her body is shutting down and her memory is worsening.
Bink and Claes go to the hospital to see their friend. Marco is nowhere to be found. Angelica can have only one visitor at a time so Bink goes in first, bringing flowers. Bink enters Angelica's hospital room and lays the flowers at the bedside table.
"Bink?" Angelica asked. "Thanks for visiting me. The flowers are beautiful."
"How do you feel?" Bink asked.
"My body feel heavy and I have been having a hard time concentrating on anything. Other than that, I feel fine. I'm sure in a few days I will feel better and be back at work."
Angelica does not remember what happened and Bink does not say anything about that. "We can't wait for you to be back."
"Thanks."
Angelica is distracted by a sound outside her window and tries to sit up to see what it is.
"Is there something wrong? Are you OK?" Bink goes to help her friend sit up.
Angelica then turns to Bink. "Bink? When did you get here?" She turns to the flowers on the bedside table. "What beautiful flowers. Thank-you so much. Where's Marco? Is he not here?"
Bink leaves, "No, he's not here yet. He must be busy with work."
Claes then enters Angelica's room.
"Claes. . . ." Angelica says, "Hospitals aren't really so bad. Sometimes it gets really boring but I get visitors every day." Angelica sees the flowers on the bedside table. "Someone just came by, it was. . . ." She couldn't remember.
"That's right."
"I wish I can be strong like the rest of you."
"I'm not as strong as you may think. I am afraid to die and I don't like pain. I probably read books every day because I don't want to feel I am wasting my life. I'm afraid and I don't want to have any regrets before I die."
Angelica nods.

*Within a cell at an undisclosed location, a shadowy, bent form rocks back and forth on it's cot, muttering to itself. Admiral Donnelly looks very little like the image of authority that he once presented, but his eyes flame with defiance as his mental acuity slips farther and farther away, into the realm of vindictive madness.*
"Oh, he's good...he's very, very good. How I could have used such a one! The world would have been a mere oyster in my grasp."
*Rising from the cot, Donnelly paces about the cell, using the keen hearing of the mouse that he is to place the various guards, keepers and officers of the watch. Sufficiently satisfied that he has all of his ducks in a row, he centers himself before the door, and places a hand on either side.*
"One of the benefits of experimenting in the field of cybernetics," *he chuckles*...."is being able to use one's self as a test subject. A pity that the young ones weren't taken to this...next step."
*Exterting all of the strength that the hidden implants supply him, the old mouse pulls at the cell door, which rips from it's hinges with a loud shriek. As shrill alarms begin to sound within the deep confines of the facility, the lone prisoner throws back his head, howling to the darkness.*
"Beware your fate, Captain! No one betrays me! No one double-crosses me! Beware! Bewaaaaare!!!"
*************************************************************
*On the still waters of the Mediterranean, the USS Enterprise floats at rest, repairs proceeding at a slow, but steady pace. Minimal power has been restored, and RangerReady sits in the center seat, watching his crew scurrying to and fro with satisfaction.*
"Best in the fleet," *he murmurs, crossing his arms with a smile.*
"Oh, I might have to fight ya on that one, Charlie."
*Ducking his head under the low hatch door, Captain Eddie Dixon steps into the mighty carrier's command center, coming to stand next to his fellow commander with a slight nod of acknowledgement.*
"Permission to come aboard?"
"Granted, pally! How goes things aboard the Big T?"
"Getting back to normal, thankfully. We've caught up with one of Donnelly's people already....hopefully ship's security'll track down the rest without too much of a problem. How about here?"
"Returning to a routine, pretty much...but our saboteur is still missing in action. Fernando's been out with my teams, searching the nooks and crannies...but they haven't come up with anything yet."
"Eh, I wouldn't worry about it too much. With their commander under lock and key, they'll be afraid to make a move without authorization."
"This is true."
*Sitting back in his chair, RR contemplates the mission at hand...primarily, returning Bink and her friends to a normal life.*
"D'you really think it's over?"
"With the stink that's been kicked up at home, I should hope so! This guy's predicament stinks worse than my comm officer on a long night watch."
"Isn't your comm officer a skunk?"
"What do you think my point was?"
*Chuckling, the two turn their eyes seaward, watching as the sun sets over the horizon, turning the ocean depths from a sparkling azure, to a deeply burning sienna.*
"Well, I'm taking off to my quarters...my shift's ending, anyway. Care to join me for a nightcap, Edward?"
"You got any of that Redwall-brewed root beer that you're so proud of?"
*The captain of the Enterprise grins.*
"Picked up a whole barrel when we docked in Belfast, last week."
"Then lay on, MacDuff!"
*Bantering good-naturedly, the two retreat from the bridge, as the lights dim, the XO assuming his place in the captain's chair.*
*************************************************************
*Aboard the North Carolina, the captain stirs in his bunk, rising to gaze out the portal window of his cabin door. The two guards outside have sunk noiselessly to the deck, as a handful of crewmen unbolt the steel door.*
"Orders, Cap'n?"
"You already know them. Failsafe order General One. The mission has been compromised...destroy the ship, and take all enemies possible with her. Make your way to the bridge, and seal yourselves in. Make course for the Enterprise...and if Texas moves to intercept...fire the new guns. I think they might be a bit surprised!"
*With a simple, "Aye-aye, sir!", the crew slips into the shadows, joined by others from branching corridors as they move silently off into the bowels of the ship.*

Severe Weather Eddie  
- - - - -  
Fortunately for Eddie and everyone else in Texas's battle group, Eddie had a very good friend on the North Carolina. Lieutenant Commander Amanda Hasegawa was the battleship's gunnery officer. She had suspected that something was wrong with Captain Thorpe for a long time. Recent events had confirmed that.
In her time on the battleship, Amanda had put together a further list of possible "supporters" of Thorpe. Fortunately, their numbers were few; of the 1500-some odd sailors aboard, there were less than thirty that the tigress suspected of aiding the now-rogue captain. Running such a huge ship with only 30 people was simply not possible. When Thorpe gave the order to fire the main guns, he'd be in for quite a surprise. They weren't loaded, and they wouldn't be. It took 70 people to man each turret. Hasegawa had made certain that of that number, perhaps only five would even try. And if they did, she had another failsafe: the assistant chief engineer (since the actual chief was with the captain) would flood the ship's magazines. That would also prevent destruction of the ship.
And Thorpe would find it hard to conduct any combat without the ship's engines. Another significant portion of the ship's crew was dedicated to keeping North Carolina's four steam turbines and eight boilers running. Since the engines weren't directly controlled by the bridge, any order for engine power coming from the ship's CIC (where the captain and his traitorous crew had locked themselves) would go unanswered. The assistant chief had also disconnected the ship's rudder controls.
Since North Carolina was built to be able to survive massive amounts of damage, she had not one but three central control stations: the CIC, the bridge and wheelhouse, and local fire control. The captain only had the CIC. Captain Thorpe had locked himself into it, and would now find himself hard pressed to actually control the ship. In effect, Lieutenant Commander Hasegawa was now in command and control of North Carolina. Captain Thorpe just didn't know it yet.
Eddie smiled when he read Hasegawa's message to that end.
"Wow. I knew that she was good. I didn't know she was that good!" he exclaimed. Still Captain Thorpe was capable. The wily coyote was likely to find a way to cause more grief for both crews. Eddie just hoped that they wouldn't lose a historic battleship because of it.

The US President makes an emergency tv appearence to speak to the public, thus angering most by interupting their favorite TV Shows or Baseball games.
[quote="President George (The Shrub) Mouse"]
Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
It is with great enthusaism that I come to speak to you all about the scourge that threatens our freedoms and liberties. I'm speaking about an old cold-war project that should have died when the Berlin Wall was taken down, only to found festering on some secret lab on our soil.
This project, code named 'WarriorMaiden' was to produce super soliders that can fight and survive a nuclear war. Millions, if not billions of dollars was spent on this project with little positive results, though it continued to operate under the guise of a cold-war super weapon.
Since the UN Council passed resolution #A/RES/54/263, which prohibits the use of such weapons in 2002, we signed the treaty in good faith with our international neighbors that we were in compliance. But early this morning, some of our very best investigative people have found Project WarriorMaiden still in operation, and has done everything within their powers to end it. Upon my notification, I had all research project fundings halted until it can be investigated that these other projects are also in complaince.
Our men and women in the armed forces work dilegently hard in order to keep our liberties and freedoms safe for all who live within our borders, and I would like to thank them all for this discovery, and ratification of this situation. Remember- they are here to protect our rights and freedoms from enemies who threaten them, whether they may be of international origins or domestically grown.
I am proud to be their chief, and proud to be an American. So without further ado, this is all I had to say. My appologize for the interuption. Enjoy your televised entertainment. And for Massechusettes Senator Teddy (Bear) Kennedy- I hope the Yankees beat the (bleep) out of the your Red Sox!
[\quote]
Captain Eddie (after sipping the rootbeer): If that dont beat it all... he got everything wrong!
Captain RangerReady: What can I tell you? Disinformation is fun. Of course, none of us is going to get a medal out of this, you know.
Captain Eddie: A Medal? I'm hoping that we dont end up in the brig when we return to home port.
Captain RangerReady: You think they'd throw us ALL in the brig?
Captain Eddie: If not us, then Fernando for dragging us all into this.
Captain RangerReady: Well, if Fernando wants a medal, you hold him still while I nail-gun one of these rootbeer bottle caps to his chest.
Captain Eddie: Now You're Talking!

It wont sink the ship, and since you'll be low on fuel when you get to it from crossing the Atlantic, you'll only set a fireball that will flame out of control for about an hour. You'll probably kill 1/2 her crew.

OOC: how much damage would a 737BBJ do to a ship like the North Carolina if it slammed into the bridge? Say enough to rid us of a problem but not destroy the ship, or is that too much?
[\quote]
OOC: Actually, the bridge/CIC of the Carolina is buried deep in the ship. The CIC is located down inside the hull, on a deck near the waterline, actually. The vitals of the ship are protected by about a foot of solid steel armor.
How does a battleship respond to a kamikaze hit? Well, in 1945 the USS Missouri was hit by a Japanese Kamikaze. The result? A small gasoline fire that was contained within minutes and a small dent in the ship's side. Now, granted, a 737 is a much bigger and heavier plane than a Japanese Zero, but that still says something about how well these ships were built.
And besides, at the moment anyway, North Carolina is under our control...or rather, Ms. Hasegawa's control. [/quote]

After a little disagreement, Hondo puts on the EMT uniform and jumps in the little pick-up, which has a load of airport security guards in the back, bound and gaged. He drives to the spot were he left the ambulance and hides the truck, leaving the C4 strapped to it in case they need it.
Hondo drives by the docks first and finds a small landing craft that was marked with RR's ships name. After moving the landing craft to a safer location, Hondo head off to the hospital.
When he arrived, he parked the ambulance beside a few others, locked it electronically and put the remote into his pocket. he put on a fake mustache earlier and pulled a cap down low on his face. he walked toward the hospital and helped carry a wounded chipmunk inside. He then set off to locate the girls. He first stopped by security. as usual, hospital security had only one old codger watching the cameras. Hondo told him he was sent there to give him a break as the rest of the security staff was busy. The old fellow had no reason to disbelieve him, as it had been done before, so he left.
Hondo checked all the Cameras and found them. they were leaving Angelica's room Hondo when to find them, He noted they were on the 5th floor. He grabbed a food Cart and headed up to the 5th floor. No one questioned him as he was helping and with all the trouble coming in and as short handed as they were they needed help. he left it at the nurses station as he walk up the hall they should be on. he met them in an empty area on the hall and stopped them. They did not recognize him untill he took off his cap and spoke.
"What are you two doin' here and why did you leave the ship without tellin' Fernando?" Hondo said.
"We came to see Angelica and Fernando would not have let us leave if we told him." Claes said.
"Well, we have to get you two back now!" Hondo said.
"No." said Bink flatly.
"Not without Rico and Angelica." Claes said.
"I'm not sure Angelica will make it. She will not if we have to move her." Hondo said.
"Even if she doesn't live long after, she needs to be away from here." Bink says.
"OK, but we need a plan, and here is not a good place to plan." Hondo said.
"and there is a lady we want to get out of here and make sure she is safe too." Claes said.
"Only if you can convince her to help us. I might have to traqu. her to get her here, but it is up to you two to convince her. I'll help all I can, but first we have to get out of this hall." Hondo said.
"Where to then?" Bink asks.
"To the roof for now." Hondo said.
They made it to the roof and found an old unused storage building on it where they set up their head quarters.

Charlie had mentioned putting all non-essential personnel off the ship
*Rosie is sitting pensively in the VIP cabin. At least with all the newcomers she hadn't been evicted....not that Charlie would ever do that. Thinking and partly sulking....*
"Non essential personnel!" she begins "Well I may not be essential, but I am not going anywhere!"
*Rose settles her shoulder holsters and rams the nickel-plated Peacemakers into them. She pauses, and then tucks the derringer RR gave her into her pocket and puts on her jacket.*
"I'll tie myself to this ship before I let myself be offloaded like cargo!"
*Rose walks out on deck (making sure to stomp past the captain's cabin on the way) and stares over the dark water to where the hostile ships are over the horizon. Uncountable stars cover the heavens*
"Come and take it."

Hondo was a little unsure what to do.
*guns blazin' will not work here again!* he thought.
"Well, I need to let Fernando know what's goin' on, then we'll talk." Hondo said as he pulled out his palm pilot.
"Fernando is not coming to help?" Claes asked.
"He is in enough trouble, now. You two leavin' will not help him any." hondo said as he sent a quick message.
"Well the Boss squirrel man should receive that soon. In the mean time, what are we goin' to do?" Hondo said out loud to no one, but more to hear himself.
"We have to convince Rico to come with us, save Olga and get angelica out of hear." Bink said.
"But we need a miracle too . . ." Hondo stop short as he heard the whop, whop of a helicopter.
"What that matter?" Claes asked as Hondo eye started to twinkle and a half smile crossed his face.
"I think I hear a Miracle." He said.
"No, thats a Helicopter." Bink said.
"Yes, it is. A medivac Copter at that, with long range tanks. The type of copter that could fly a sick little gunslinger to a ship without harm." Hondo said as his eyes lighted up looking a fiery sapphire blue instead of his usual cold steal blue.
"Time to git dangrous!" he said. "you to can handle Rico and tranq. her handler, right?"
"Yes." they said in unison.
"Without being seen." Claes added
"But can you two convince her to come with us?" Hondo asked.
"I know we can. After what Tammy and Fernando has told us, I know we can convince her that there is a better way to live." Bink said.
"OK, but you two may need weapons." Hondo said. "But can I trust you two to use them only if you have to?" Hondo asked.
"Yes, sir." They said in unison.
"Good, and don't call me sir!" Ho0ndo said. I'll be right back.
Hondo left them and returned in 20 minutes with food and a box.
"Here you two, eat up." Hondo said."Sorry, but I have no new pistols. I only use older models." He gave each of them one of his .36 cal. walsh navy 12 shots and kept the .50 cal. dragoon and the .45 la'matte for himself.
"also for each of you, I brought a bullet proof jacket and a tranquilizer dart pistol and a few pen/darts a piece. Use these if you can, but if you can't then use the pistols." Hondo said. "We'll wait an half an hour, then you two take care of Rico and I'll get Olga then sedate Angela and trick a couple Paramedic into helpin' me get them to the copter. either of you been trained to fly a copter?" He asked.
"Yes, both of us have." Bink said.
"Good! you two have to be to the copter in two and one half hours. I am going to set a few C4 charges to keep them busy when we take off." Hondo said as he gathered his stuff and got ready to leave. "Don't be late!"
"We won't be." Claes said.
Hondo nodded and stepped out the door closing it behind him.
*Here we go again!* he thought as he crept through the night.

[OOC =01]
Hondo, You're forgetting Triela; who might be the hardest to convince, and who is separated from Rico.
Both sets of girls are with their handlers going in different directions.
Olga is being detained in an undisclosed jail... Until at least the UN Investigators come in to interogator her. Only somebody of Rank or Seniority can pullher out.
Thats when I'll move in once I am convinced that it will work. Problem is being convinced first, then getting my ass off the Enterprise.
[/OOC]
[OOC =02]
Jeanette/Arik, There is a flaw in the condictioning process.
-These girls seem to work as a team; whether with their handlers or each other. They interact with each other to know that they can trust the others.
-With the Handlers are not there, they need to latch onto each other, as they do so in the series.
-With the Handlers pernamentally gone, they need to latch onto another handler.
-Finally, in the case of Elsa (who died long ago), if the Handler does not give the girls some emotional suppport and understanding, the girl goes haywire and kils both the handler and herself.
I say this because (other than it did happened in Gunslinger), it shows to me that part of the condictioning/brainwashing process involves emtional abuse.
How each person deal with such abuse is on them. With Elsa- the condictioning process failed because of the abuse. With Bink (Henrietta), its on that edge since Jose does not know what to do for her. Now that Jose is dead...
With Claes- she gets it from all sides, except the girls, because of her handler's death, the rest of Section 2 does not know what to do with her other than to let section 1 experiement on her as they please. Fortunately for Claes, her handler was most giving to her needs before he died.
With Angelica, that toll has taken a downward spiral and her mind and body is failing on her. Recovery for her will be difficult at best.
Both Rico and Triela are unknowns at the moment, though they seem to be capable of latching on to the rest of the girls with ease.In Triela's case, latching onto Bink (Henrietta) when she needed support.
Curing Angelica will mean undoing a lot of the emotional abuse from her. That will not be easy, and Angelica will always see herself as not quite measuring up. That is, if she survives her hospitalization.
A Cyborg's life is short because these girls are run raggedly hard. Like a drug dealer's carreer only lasting on average 5 years before murder or the police catches up with them. Take away those pressures, and they can have a full life time of experiences.
Besides- as a soccer team, those cyborgnetic implants gives them an unfair advantage over the others. But I'm not telling if you aren't.
In short, in dealing with abused kids to get them to grow up nornamlly, you have to treat them as a broken person, with a lot of glue, time, and patients. In RL the both of you know mypast and how I managed to do this with others, the same rules applies to here.
[/OOC]
Fernando wakes up feeling worse than he did before going to sleep. 'A nest of twigs and leaves would have been better than this bed', Fernando thought to himself.
He gets up to his laptop, finding that his Internet connection has been restored. He also finds his message and email boxes full. He reads each one before answering them.
Code:
Hondo,
Though its a long drive, you can use the hideout to keep the girls there. You may need to stock up on food and clothes for the girls.
In case of an emergency, there is a hidden entrance 100 yds behind the hideout to a WW2 bombshelter. Use it only if you have too. It connects to a shaft that runs 5 miles into the sewers if you need an escape.
Looks like you need to play 'daddy' to the girls while I'm stuck here.
 


Code:
Alex II,
You will be sent back to Milan to supervise interogation of the prisoners. It has to be done by the book (No torture!).
Keep an eye on the UN Investigation team. Only allow them to interogate the prisoners one at a one and no more.
Find out which one of the captured is Olga, and do not let anyone near her.
 


Code:
Jeanette and Tammy,
The girls has escaped and are right now with Hondo.
[b]WE [/b]will deal with them once we are back home.
 


Code:
To Ship Captains,
I recieved a disturbing message from the Pentagon Police:
Admiral Donnelly has escaped, and at last call to home port, The Carolina was not listening to orders.
I'm assuming the worst here. You captains have your orders, which I will not interfere with.
I do however need to continue with completing the mission, once things fall into place and new plans can be drawn.
Any help will be greatly appriecated.
 


Code:
To All Rescue Mission Ops
Enjoy your Mediterranean Sea Cruise, courtsey of the USA navy...
Gadget, stop asking about taking jet spare parts home, they're not free samples!
And Dale- stop harrassing the crew to paint a shuffle board for you on the flight deck!
You think I dont know these things, who guess who gets yelled at for your actions!
 


With the messages sent, Fernando knows that he will be pounced on by everybody once he steps outside the door. But Fernando needs to step out onto the deck.
Despite the general quarters command, Fernando makes his way to the flight deck, making his way to the rear of the ship. Behind the Enterprise is a wake of churred up glowing matter. Microscopic bioluminesence, brought up by the ship's propellers. He stands there looking out at it and the stars.
Fernando (to himself):I wonder how far are we from Milan?
A voice from behind: I would guess about 800 miles out.
Fernando: That was rhetorical, Jeanette... hmmm... but a 2 hour flight by Lear.
Jeanette: Thinking of going back?
Fernando: To care of unfinished business.
Jeanette: You mean, gettting the other girls?
Fernando: And Hondo too.
Jeanette: And have you thought about Olga?
Fernando: I still need convincing.
Jeanette: Look. If anyone can get to the girls, she can. She's done everything within her power to minimize the damaging affects of their condictioning, and probably is the only one who does care about them.
Fernando: She is from Section 1. Who's to stop her from running away with the girls, turn them against us? What guarentees do i have against that?
Jeanette: So, there is no convincing you of this?
Fernando: I did not say that. I just need proof.
Jeanette: You're worse than a Doubting Thomas.
Fernando: So be it that I am. I need more to be convinced.
Jeanette: How about me?
Fernando: eh?
Jeanette: I'm convinced that it will not happen as you think it would. I believe that Olga is the missing key to get all the girls and get them into a healing process from which they can recover.
Fernando: You are, I'm not.
Jeanette: Then how about backing me up on this.
Fernando: And if it fails?
Jeanette: It wont.
Fernando: You're asking me in putting up a lot of trust and faith into something that might fail on you.
Jeanette: I've given you that much and more on past rescue missions, and though you have not failed, I am sometimes left to clean up the mess.
Fernando: Its not your job to clean up the mess.
Voice in the dark as someone approaches: It seems that you two have a lot of emotional baggage...
Jeanette: Hello Tammy.
Tammy: Especially on your part, Fernando. Jeanette trusts you with her life on these missions, and yet, it seems that you do not reciprocate on that. Why?
Fernando: Because our lives are at stake here, not just others. Its easy to run into a burning building and pull somebody out. Its its another to willing stand in front of them to take a bullet.
Tammy: You mean like Chip did for Gadget?
Fernando: I doubt he'll ever do that stunt again.
Tammy: You dont know Chip that well to say that.
Fernando: I know he has regrets about it.
Tammy: I surely doubt that.
Fernando: No? Go pump a couple of acorn brewski's into him, and he'll tell you all about it once the alcohol kicks in.
Tammy: And what about you?
Fernando: I dont have any...
Jeanette: For somebody who is super powered as you are, you sometimes act like the weakest squirrel on earth.
Tammy: Super powered?
Jeanette: Dont you know?
Tammy: Know what?
Jeanette: Look, I'll give you his medical file to study up, but for now lets say that he's augmented enough to take on this whole crew hand to hand and beat them all.
Fernando: Those days are gone Jeanette. I'm no longer the super squirrel that I was in my youth.
Jeanette: No? Sorry Tammy, but I need to prove something.
Tammy: What?
Jeanette takes Tammy by the wrist and throws her hard off the edge of the ship. Instinctively Fernando spins and grabs the back of her shirt, while clawing the edge of the bow with his toes, indenting the metal for a better grasp. His reaction time being less than 1/2 a second.
Tammy stays quiet as she looks out on her new found view of the sea below her. Slowly, Fernando pulls and right themselves back to the deck of the ship.
Jeanette: See what I mean?
Tammy (in a nervous but relieved voice): Yeah, I see... what you... mean...
Fernando: That was uncalled for Jeanette.
Jeanette: It was, Fernando. You needed a reminder of that. Now I'm asking of you, to give back that trust that I have given you as your rescue partner. Do I have it?
Fernando: On two condictions.
Jeanette: No condictions.
Fernando: Then you wont get it.
Jeanette: Why must I give in so much- OK, what are the condictions.
Fernando: 1) You take over as leader, and have Tammy with us.
Tammy: I told you I'm not going.
Fernando: Bink Is Back With The Others, darn It!
Jeanette: OK, whats, 2?
Fernando: You fly the Lear back to Milan.
Jeanette: I dont fly anymore.
Fernando: You have to get beyond that fear. Just like you do to me about my problems, I get on yours.
Tammy: If I did not know better, I'd swear you two act like you're married.
Jeanette: We're worse than married. We're Rescue Mission Team Partners.
Fernando: You're still flying.
Jeanette: No, I'm Not...

Hondo left to do his work he listen to the girls talk, via a hidden mic.
"Well, Rico is close by, I know, but getting Triela and Olga will be trouble some." said Bink.
"I heard Olga is been captured, so we will need Rico's help." Claes said.
"And we need Olga to talk Triela into coming with us." Bink said. "but it will take hours to get them. We'll just leave Hondo a note."
"Nobody's leaving Hondo a note!" Hondo growled. The girls spun around, pistols in hand. Hondo had turned around an came back as soon as he realized what was going on, and, being lost in thought, neither of the girls heard him answer the door.
"You might as well shoot! Not tellin' me all this definitely is like shootin' me in the back!" Hondo said as he shut the door and sat in a chair in front of them and gazed between the two with a look of steal. They holstered their pistols and and sat down again, they looked at the floor.
"Sorry." They said together.
"Why in tarnation didn't you two tell me, before I left to sign my own death note. . . Don't tell me. . . You thought I would say no, eh?"
"Yes." Bink said. "We didn't mean to put you in danger."
"It is amazing. Two girls as smart as you two, who have proved you can think for yourself, how could you. . . oh never mind. Ok change of plan. You two get Rico and meet me at copter I will have Angelica. Then after you all get to saft I will work on gettin' Olga out. DANG! I could use a good blind Flyin' squirrel, But I'll make do. You two ready?" Hondo said.
"Yes Sir!" They said.
"right, and do not call me sir. Makes me feel . . . old. Let move out than, and oh, by the way. Promise me you two will let me know first next time."
"We promise." They said together.
"Alrighty, then. Let's get this wagon train a movin'!"Hondo said
"What wagon train?" asked Bink.
"just an expression, kid. Let move, now!" Hondo said as they moved quickly out the door to do their separate tasks.

Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -  
Hondo places a few explosives around the Hospital, but not in the Hospital itself. He saw walked behind the Girls a good ways off until they were out of the open, then continued his work. Hondo set most of the charges to go off at a single frequency, but a few a a different one to insure he got out with the ambulance. They had lost time earlier so the girls only had 1 hour and 45 minutes to do their work. Hondo finished up with an hour left. He when to find info on Angelica.
*I need another easy disguise.* He thought.*Ah,ha!* Hondo spied an unused lab coat hanging in a locker room and slipped it over his EMT uniform. With that he went to the nurses station to get the info. He found it fast and nobody noticed him as other sifts, who never usually worked together, were still there as there were not enough staffed per shift to handle this crisis.
After Hondo gathered the info he 'borrowed some meds and equipment they might need, until help arrived. He stashed them aboard the copter, using the excuse to the guards that he was restocking the supplies on board.
*dumb guard. never teach 'um what they really need to know. staff never resupplies copters.* Hondo thought as he returned to the fith floor and Angelica's room.
He read over her charts again as he walked, *This poor kid needs help bad! I'm afraid I'll lose her without medical help, but the other girls will not leave without her.* Hondo walked to a medical cart and pulled out a heavy sedation med.
*good thing she has an I.V.* He thought. He injected the med into the I.V. tube without a problem as Angelica was sleeping, but things were going to smooth.
"Excuse me, sir. What are you doing?" an extremely U.S. type southern accent asked.
*man, that voice is familiar, but who?* Hondo thought.
he had a gun in his right pocket, so he turned around toward the left to hide the movement of his hand that was grabbing the gun. He turned with gun in hand.
A very familiar Red headed mouse stood in front of Hondo. She dropped what she had in her hand and gasped.
"Hondo!" She squeaked.
"Step in, Red, and shut that door quietly!" Hondo hissed. The frightened nurse did as she was told.
"What are you doing here!" she demanded.
"Isn't it obvious!" He snapped.
" But why. . ." She started.
"Don't start that ' of all the Hospitals in all the world' junk." He said.
"You still are mad at me." She stated.
"Well, Red, You don't forget a heart break that easily, especially one that betrays you to his worst enemy, has his family taken prisoner to make him hand himself over, and when he does, he finds out that the one he though was his girl, did the Judas thing then becomes that creeps Girl friend!" Hondo snarled.
"You know I did it to save my brother. We were friends! why can't we get that behind us.I apologized!" Red said.
"We were more than friends, once. never again, Red. I don't trust you, but I need help, and you have seen me." Hondo said.
"Help?" Red asked.
"Yes, I am takin' this little gal with me, and I need you to keep her alive." Hondo said.
"She is on no condition to be moved. you can't take her! I'm getting security!" Red said and turned toward the door. she stopped suddenly as Hondo cocked his .50 cal. Dragoon.
"To many lost there lives last time because of you. I have no qualms about blowin' you away. you will go and help, or got to a lot hotter place!" Hondo said. She turned and looked at Hondo with tears in her eyes.
*The shame I have brought myself. I can not even run from it by leaving the U.S. It followed me in the form I most feared.* She thought. She looked back at the floor and walked over to the sleeping girl and prepared her to leave.
"I hope the other girls are doin' alright." Hondo thought out loud.
"What other girls?" Red asked.
"You'll find out soon enough. just keep quiet. You think I am mean. They will shoot you if you look at then sideways and they take it wrong." Hondo said and turned to the window.
 
Bink and Claes had it easy. Rico's handle had left her at an abandoned apartment to go get food and other supplies before moving out to a better hiding spot a lot further away.
Talking her into joining them was a snap, getting her to help sub do her handle was not. finally they convince her if they did not tranqu. her handler, he handler and herself would be killed, but if she was gone her handle could escape easier and they would have no evidence to hold her handle on charges until after her handler had made it out of the country. Rico finally gave in to that, but only if she could write a coded note to her handler explaining why she lsft and the uslesness of following.
*I hope her handler takes her note to heart.* Bink thought. *for all of our sakes.*
The handler came back and they all jump him as soon as he entered the door. He had no time to react. Bink had the Handler out with a tranqu. pen. and was ready to leave in seconds. Rico put the note in her handlers pocket.
"Thank you for taking care of me, but it is time I go, time for all of us to go, and try to live normal lives." She whispered with tears in her eyes. She grabbed her own pistol and ran to the other two who were waiting for her.
"We don't have much time left! we have to get the guartds at the helo pad before Hondo gats out!" Claes said.
There were only three guard there when they arrived. Claes gave Rico a pen/dart and then the three of them split up. The guards were night blind from the helo pad lights so they did not see the three girls sneak up behind them, but it would have mattered little as they saw nothing for several hours after. together they drug the three unconcious guard off into the shadows and waited for Hondo, but they did not wait long. For Hondo and a red headed nurse soon were seen making their way to the pad.
 
Hondo turned from his vigil at the window and said, "It's time."
He then threw off the lab coat, so his EMT uniform showed again. He helped Red get her onto the copter transport cot and strapped her down.
"One false move from you, Red, and I promise you that you'll be dead before me." Hondo said. Red just nodded and cleaned her face, to not show the tears.
"What will you do with me after?" She asked.
"If you promise to behave, I'll just have most of the details of this excursion erased from your mind and will turn you lose. all you will 'think' that you remember is that you were kidnapped by Terrorists, then set free after they realized you were of little use to them." Hondo said.
"I'll be good. I promise." Red said.
"Just like you promised to always be there for me?" Hondo asked. "your word better mean a whole lot more now than they did then."
Hondo signaled for her to get moving. they moved out to the helo pad without any problem. as they approached the helicopter Hondo saw the girls approaching.
*right on time.* He thought. *now for the hard part.*

While Fernando and the ladies discussed their plans, Fernando laptop recieves a strange text message with a video clip attachment. The video clip was from the security cam, showing the Admiral's jail from several angles. It also shows how he escaped. Another messgae arrives, Alex II has managed to separate Olga from the others. Meanwhile he argues with the UN Investigators.
UN Investigator: That last woman you have in the separate cell, we want to talk to her.
Alex II: You cant.
UN Investigator: Why not?
Alex II: She's already been interogated and it turns out that she is not involved with this. She's going to be released soon.
UN Investigator: We'll be the judge of that.
Alex II hands the UN Investigator a folder.
Alex II: Here's the transcript of her interogation. Believe me, she knows nothing.
The UN Investigator looks at the folder, flipping through the pages fast.
Alex II: I told you there was nothing of interest there.
UN Investigator: She does not leave until we finish with what we're doing here.
Alex II walks away to a nearby desk and sits on its ledge, crossing his arms, staring down at the UN Investigator.
Back at the ship, Chip, Dale and the others find Jeanette with Tammy in deep discussion with Fernando about the mission. They approach them quickly but quietly.

Chip: About time somebody had the acorns to challenge your self dellusioned authority in this mission.
Fernando (to Jeanette): Maybe you should toss him over the edge...
Monty (walking right up to Fernando with his finger pointing at this Fernando's face): Listen here Pally... AH! LET GO OV ME FINGER!
Fernando grabs Monty's finger and bent it back over and against his wrist. Monty yells in pain and kneels before the almighty Fernando. Chip starts rolling up his sleeve and clenching his fists.
Gadget: Chip, dont!
Chip: Just because he's a rodent that can fly, he thinks he can push his elitist bull on the rest of us? No, I'm going to teach him a lesson!
Fernando lets go of Monthy after he thinks he had enough. Monty curls up into a ball holding his injured finger between his legs.
Fernando: Dont ever approach me with hostile intent, Mr. Jack... (then he turns to Chip) As for you Mr. Munk, I'm not elists because of my flying capabilities. I'm elitist because of my experience.
Chip: Yeah right, I know a braggart when I hear one.
Fernando: Its about time I've done this...
Fernando walks right up to Chip, keeping an arm's length away while taking off his EMT Jacket. Once in front of Chip, he gives the jacket a very hard shake. Little deformed bits of metal fall onto the floor. Most made up of lead, some were copper covered. Gadget and the others dive onto them and examine them.
Dale: What are these?
Fernando reaches over to Chip, but his hand under his jacket, spreading out the material, showing off a dent in it.
Fernando: Care to guess what they are?
Gadget: They appear to be bullet fragments.
Fernando: Thats one reason why I did not want you in Milan.
Chip: Whats the other?
Fernando: Your little pointy tail is worth about $100,000USD.
Chip: What?
Fernando: Both the Italian government and the terrorists have put a price on all our heads, and there is a lot of idiots who either want the money or to make a name for themselves who are willing to collect on that cash.
Chip: I dont believe you.
Tammy: He's right, Chip.
Dale: Where did the bullets came from?
Tammy: Recusing me.
Gadget: You?
Tammy: We got separated, and I was captured. Later that night, Fernando came to rescue me, but there was a lot of gunfire involved. I thought he wasn't hit, but I guess wrong and now know better.
Jeanette: Super Squirrel does it again...
Fernando: Jeanette...
Jeanette: It true... How many times you got hit?
Dale (Interupting Jeanette): I count 27 bullets here...
Jeanette: Each time you got hit, it was like getting hit with a full swing from a baseball bat. So the klevar lining stopped the bullets from penetrating, you still have the shockwave hitting you hard!... 27 times...
Fernando: Try about 11 or 12. Each fragment you count is part of another fragment. As for you Chip, neither of any of the CD/RRs wants to wear the equipment I hand out, use the guns I distributed, or care to follow my orders. You're great for logistics and intell gathering but not for an actual rescue. This is not Nimul's garbage tech we're dealing with. As for you Jeanette- when you're high on adrenaline, you dont feel the pain.
Jeanette: Hmph!
Chip: We have our ways of doing things...
A voice from behind speaks out.
Voice from behind: Those ways would have gotten the lot of you captured or killed. There can only be one leader in a mission, and I'll give Fernando that respect.
Chip: Figures that you got the captain of this ship on your side, Fernando.
Captain RR: Fernando does not 'got me on his side', as you would say, Chip. You just better understand that there are forces in this world bigger than yourself. If you dont like it, you can turn in your hat and coat and go back into the wild begging for peanuts from humans.
Fernando (as he starts to walk away): The next time some cafe friend ask for help in getting a family member rescued, I'm going to tell them to go screw themselves into a knothole... Right now both Bink and Claes are in Milan; how they got off this ship is beyond me.
He manages to get some considerable distance away from them, Tammy turns around and trots over to Fernando.
Tammy (before going): Now you see what you guys have done? (as she runs to Fernando): Fernando! Wait!
But Fernando does not, he just keeps on going. In the cover of darkness, he goes through one of everal open doorways and quickly down a flight of stairs to the hangar bay. He sees several mechanics looking over the learjets, and walks over to them.
Fernando: When do you think it will be ready?
One of the mechanics: For what?
Fernando: To take off from the deck?
Mechanic: These birds are not build to take off from deck.
Fernando walks under to inspect their work, and then grabs a wrench and starts to points out a few things.
Fernando: Reinforce the landing strut here, here and here. Then add 4 JATOs at the base of the tail, here and 2 each on the jet pods there and there. Now, I want this bird ready to fly and on the deck for launch by 0600 hours!
Another Mechanic: But that only gives us 3 hours!
Fernando: I dont care how it gets done, get it done!
First Mechanic: You're not our captain, you cant order us around.
A voice from beind speaks, its Captain RangerReady (again).
Captain: But I am. Now you heard the man, he wants it done by 0600 hours- it better be completed and inspected by 0530.
First Mechanic: Aye, Aye, Sir! Hal, Get the others to help, we got a lot of work to do here!
The mecahnics start to scurry about, gathering tools and materials to do their work on the LearJet.
Captain (To Fernando): Where did you learn about airplane mechanics?
Fernando: I learned a little of everything in high school and in life in general.
Captain: I see. Just do me a favor- dont boss my crew around. Thats my job.
Fernando: I'll be more diligent about it, sir.
Captain: Good... now get out of my hangar bay before I decide to be not so nice with you!
Fernando: Alright, I'm out, I'm leaving, I'm walking out the door...
After Fernando leaves, Captain RangerReadywalks over to his bridge. He silently walks over to his chief of security and whispers into his ear. As he wispers, the security chief's eye grow wide in disbelief.
Captain (whispering to his security officer): I want to you explain to me how 2 little girls could have gotten off this ship and take a docking transport back to Italy... I told you I wanted this ship secured, and if your men cant seem to keep two little girls from leaving, then perhaps I should switch your crew with the Kitchen Police!
Security Chief: I'll get on it right away, sir. I'll repremand those involved!
Captain (almost yelling): YOU BETTER!
The Security Chief runs out of the bridge and starts investigating the incident.
Back in Fernando's room, Fernando receives the text message, and plays the video in an endless loop.
Fernando says to himself: Figures the admiral would be a cyborg. These idiots cant understand that they cant take a new technology and use it as a toy for themselves. Well... this just adds to the problems we have, and looks like we have to deal with it again.
Voice at his door: You know you upset Tammy a lot.
Fernando: Who cares, Jeanette. Really.
Jeanette: It seems that you do.
Fernando: I only do when people see that the work needed to be done was done, and dont question as to how it was done. You and I give our best, and for what? To be interogated by a bunch of wanna bes? They can go 'F' themselves, I swear.
Jeanette: I think you're missing the point, Fernando.
Fernando: And what point would that be?
Jeanette: They are threatened by your abilities, and how you get the job done, your moral standings and ethics behind them...
Fernando: So maybe I should start demanding intimate favors of interpersonal activities as payment for each rescue that I do...
Jeanette: Do that, and you and I are through as Medical Rescue Partners.
Fernando: Then what is it?
Jeanette: You know what I already told you.
Fernando: I'm not going to disclose my Cloak & Dagger past. You knowing of what I did in those days, if word ever got out that you do know, puts you as a target to many out there who wants those secrets.
Jeanette: Those secrets are over a generation old, Fernando. What do they value do they hold to today?
Fernando: Oh really?
Fernando starts typing on his keyboard. After 5 minutes, the ship starts ringing bells and whisitles, with orders demanding closed quarters. A security gaurd runs by Fernando's open doorway and slams it shut, locking it.
Jeanette: What is going on?
Fernando: The ship picked up a nuclear missile on radar travelling at Mach 4, which is targetted to the ship itself.
Jeanette: AND HOW CAN YOU STAY CALM IN A TIME LIKE THIS!
Fernando: See you in heaven, Love... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... BOOM...
Jeanette looks at Fernando as the outside of the ship seems to have quieted down.
Fernando: As you were saying? These secrets are as valueable today as they were 25 years ago. And that was only one of them, I have thousands more.
Jeanette: You put the ship into a panick?
Fernando: You want me to do it again?
Jeanette: No...
Fernando: Understand, Love, that you knowing that I know certain things makes you a bigger target than most. I need you to be at my side when needed, and be able to go beyond your fears to do the things that are needed to be done. Do you understand that?
Jeanette: It is just that those things hard to do.
Fernando: So, you go through some discomfort. But in the end, you were able to do it. Look, despite your fear of flying, you help me fly a 737BBJ to Milan. As far as I seen, you were not in any discomfort at all. Now I need you to do this on your own, because I have other things to take care off...
Jeanette: Like what?
Fernando moves the laptop for her to see the screen: This.
Jeanette sees the video of the admiral's escape, as taken by the security cameras. He grabs at the bars and bends and rips them off his cage. Along the way, he kills several military security officers who there to keep an eye on him.
Jeanette: What the... Not even you cant match your strength with that!
Fernando: He's a cyborg, Jeanette, just like the little girls we are rescuing. And no, I cant match my strength against his, but at least I have brains and training, and I hope thats more then enough.
Jeanette: He'll kill you...
Feranndo: If he does, it was nice knowing you, Jeanette. I just want you to go do what I ask, and finish the rescue of the other girls. You know them better than I do, thats why I'm putting you in charge, and need you to pilot the plane to get them.
Jeanette: I dont like to fly, Fernando. You know that.
Fernando: Look, Jeanette, go beyond the fear, and use the options that you have. Be a leader, I've seen you do it before, I need you to do it again.
Jeanette: And where will you be? In case I need you?
Fernando: Until the admiral and I meet up, I'll be near by... But I need you to grow some acorns...
Jeanette: You mean... a certain part of the male reproductive organs.
Fernando: You know it cant be said, but you must.
Jeanette: How about you fly with DOS, and I be a passenger.
Fernando: And who is going to fly back, because I wont be there.
Jeanette: I figure it out when we get to that point.
Fernando: Dont stand around figuring, just do.
Jeanette: Fernando?
Fernando: What?
Jeanette: I dont know how to say this...
Fernando: Just say it.
Jeanette: Since you made me leader... I'm ordering you to not die on this mission. Understand that?
Fernando: You're ordering me...
Jeanette: Yes I am. And you better uphold that order to the best of your ability.
Fernando: And if I cant?
Jeanette: Well, a lot of people are going to be upset with you if you dont.
Fernando: I see. Looks like I have to do my best here, then.
Jeanette: Like you tell me so often- dont think, just do. Look.. I'll see you later. You better be ready.
Fernando: Aye, aye... ma'am.
Jeanette: Thats sir- to you.
Jeanette unlocks the door and walks away.
In the next couple of hours, the third part of the mission will begin, if there are no interuptions.

"She's got a point." said Fernando's laptop, suddenly.
Fernando eyed the laptop. "How long have you been listening?"
"Ever since your trick with the radar. I've got monitoring programs set up to watch for that sort of thing." replied the AI. "If you intend going up against a cyborg admiral, though, I believe I can be of some aid. I'm a lot harder to kill than a pure organic life form, and I think that you've gone beyond the point where me hanging around here pretending to be you is at all useful."
"You - broke into - Rachel!"
"Who's Rachel?"

As Hondo got the girls aboard the copter and got red situated by Angelica he handed Bink a note. the note contained directions to the hideout and what to do with the copter. Bink hopped in pilot seat and started the engine, Rico was copilot, and Claes guarded Red to make sure she took care of Angelica.
"Take off!" Hondo yelled as he jumped on the landing gear and held on to the door. Sirens went off as the hospital security realized that the copter was being 'borrowed'. As they rose into the air security guards and police ran out to the helo pad and fired at them. they were bad shots and the copter was rising too hight to be a good target. As the copter headed out, Hondo hit a button on the remote in his pocket that set off most of the charges.
"Head toward the air port!" Hondo shouted. Bink swung the craft at the air port where many fighter craft were busy getting ready to take off and hunt the copter. When they got close enough Hondo hit another button on the remote that set off all the airport charges, including the ones that were attached to the nose gear of the fighters.
"Head back." Hondo yelled to Bink. She gave him a weird look but did as he ordered. As they flew back an unexpected copter flew at them.
"Keep at them." Hondo yelled. Bink stone-facedly kept going strait at the craft.
When we get close spin 90 degrees." Hondo yelled. Hondo pulled out his .50 cal dragoon and cocked it. When they got close they saw the machine guns in the copter ready to fire on them.
*bounty hunters.* Hondo thought. *but not for long.*

Fernando

Fernando sends a message to CCC:
Code:
Jeanette may have a point, but the admiral is over 67 years old. Though most in their mid 60's can be strong and vigor, the Admiral is a thin scrappy kind of guy, and had health issues in his early 50's. I believe that at the time, the Admiral used the cybernetics to augment and lengthen his life and not his capabilities. Once after the cybernetics were installed, they were eventually upgraded for strength and ability.
I doubt you can find the files to his cybernetics and their eventual upgrades. Strapulate from that is witnessed in the video what those augmentations could be by cross referencing Grey's Anatomy ( http://www.bartleby.com/107/ ) for the norm, with today's technological advancements from medical university records and research (secret and otherwise). When you're done, get to the Enterprise by any means neccessary.
The sooner you can bring your rivietted tail to the Deck of the Enterprise, the better. Even if you have to conduct the research enroute.
We'll discuss stradegies when you arrive.
 


Fernando then answers Alex II's call.
Fernando: Yes, I understand the situation. Keep stalling them until they get fed up and leave when they receive new orders. I'll see what I can do from here.
Alex II: I'll my best.
Fernando: I expect nothing less. See you later!
Alex II: See you.
Fernando goes to his laptop and start typing into the UN Computer Network, making a few modifications of Italian Investigators' orders, and releasing Olga to Alex II.

[quote="Fernando"]
Fernando: Those days are gone Jeanette. I'm no longer the super squirrel that I was in my youth.
Jeanette: No? Sorry Tammy, but I need to prove something.
Tammy: What?
Jeanette takes Tammy by the wrist and throws her hard off the edge of the ship. Instinctively Fernando spins and grabs the back of her shirt, while clawing the edge of the bow with his toes, indenting the metal for a better grasp. His reaction time being less than 1/2 a second.
Tammy stays quiet as she looks out on her new found view of the sea below her. Slowly, Fernando pulls and right themselves back to the deck of the ship.
Jeanette: See what I mean?
Tammy (in a nervous but relieved voice): Yeah, I see... what you... mean...
Fernando: That was uncalled for Jeanette.
Jeanette: It was, Fernando. You needed a reminder of that. Now I'm asking of you, to give back that trust that I have given you as your rescue partner. Do I have it?
Fernando: On two condictions.
Jeanette: No condictions.
Fernando: Then you wont get it.
Jeanette: Why must I give in so much- OK, what are the condictions.
Fernando: 1) You take over as leader, and have Tammy with us.
Tammy: I told you I'm not going.
Fernando: Bink Is Back With The Others, darn It!
Jeanette: OK, whats, 2?
Fernando: You fly the Lear back to Milan.
Jeanette: I dont fly anymore.
Fernando: You have to get beyond that fear. Just like you do to me about my problems, I get on yours.
Tammy: If I did not know better, I'd swear you two act like you're married.
Jeanette: We're worse than married. We're Rescue Mission Team Partners.
Fernando: You're still flying.
Jeanette: No, I'm Not.

Better yet, as I stated, you're now in control of this mission. You're in control of how it flows. I did my best to keep everyone from Deus Ex Machina the story. My next post will be my writing myself out of the story, and I'll think about resigning from the cafe entirely. Anybody wants to see me, I'll be in my chat.

Midnight Man
- - - - -  
Midnight is fast asleep in his cabin on board of the USS Enterprise when RangerReady's voice coming from a speaker wakes him up, calling his name. "Midnight! Midnight!"
Still half asleep, the mouse heaves himself out of bed to answer the call. "Yeah, okay, I'm awake. What's up?"
"I've got order to evacuate everyone who's not important for our mission right now from the ship."
"Which means you want me to leave right now, right?"
"Not only that, I've got a special mission for you. Remember the silver Mustang?"
"How could I ever forget that bird?"
"It's ready to fly again according to the mechanics, and I'd like you to fly it away from here as soon as possible. Get dressed and to the hangar, further instructions will follow on the plane's radio."
"I'm on my way." Midnight quickly puts on his day clothes, takes his stuff, including his three guns, and leaves his room, heading for the hangar where he arrives a few minutes later. He is about to load his stuff into the Mustang's narrow cockpit when something strikes him. Looking behind the seat, he discovers packets of what looks like explosives.
"Midnight, you're there?" the radio comes alive.
"Yes," he replies, "but your team has forgotten some explosives in the plane."
"Actually," RangerReady explains, "they haven't removed anything. In our current situation, we can't afford having them on board this ship."
"And now you expect me to fly this bomb with wings to somewhere where it can't harm your ship?"
"Basically, yes. One unfortunate hit, and this thing would tear the Enterprise in half or even more fragments. Of course, once the danger's over again, I'll ask you to come back. Now get her to the elevator."
The size of said elevator amazes Midnight. A P-51D Mustang with fixed wings fits onto it easily. But he knew that the ship was home for two of its own Mustangs. As soon as the vintage aircraft has reached the flight deck, he climbs into the cockpit and starts up the Merlin V12 mill to move the old bird into position. All the way up he has thought about where to keep it until the danger is over, then he has got an idea.
"RangerReady, can you get me a route through French, and if that's not possible, international airspace to Propriano, Corsica?"
"Midnight, it's the darkest night there, and the Propriano airfield is lacking lighting aids! Why there of all airfields around us?"
"First, Corsica is French. Which means that whoever might try to attack me would have to attack France and risk a war. Second, it's on the western side of the island. Makes naval attacks harder unless they com from Sardinia. Third, it's a small airfield rather than an international airport like Ajaccio or Bastia. And fourth, I can see quite well in the dark, don't worry."
For a moment, the radio remained silent. Then the reply came. "Roger, it'll be Propriano then. Good luck."
--------------------------------------------------
Fernando
- - - - -  
Fernando accesses his laptop and connects to his chronoserver at his place. He activates a time portal to teleport himself home.
After a couple of hours of tracking the whereabouts Admiral Donnelly. Somehow he finds the Admiral on the deck of the Carolina. Tracking him on the chrono server, Fernando goes into his weapons room, digging out a 16th century Samuri Blade given to him by he emperor as a gift in return for a favor. All others items he leave behind; just shirt on his back and the pants on his rear end.
With a few keystrokes, he teleports himself onto the deck of the Carolina.
Fernando: DONELLY! I'M HERE FOR YOU!
From above in the radio room both the captain and the admiral stepped out and look down at Fernando on the deck of the Carolina, armed only with a samuri blade. He was surrounded by several armed guards with their rifles pointed at him.
Captain of the Carolina: Shall I have him shot?
Adm. Donelly: No, I'll take care of him myself.
Captain of the Carolina: Alright, I'll have an es...
Admiral Donelly leaps off the balconey of the Radio room and down 90-some feet to the deck below. He lands hard, leaving a large dent on the deck where he landed.
Adm Donelly: I dont know how you got here Lone Squirrel, but here I am.
The Admiral reaches behind and takes a machine gun from the guard. He quickly turns to Fernando and starts firing. After the smoke clears, all that can be seen is the samuri blade standing on it end, its tip embedded on the wooden deck of the ship.
Before the Admiral can turn around, Fernando comes from above with an aerial round house kick to his jaw. The Admiral staggers back, and Fernando somersults to his blade, hopping off the deck railing and flying back to the Admiral, Fernando has his blade over his back for the kill.
The Admiral shakes off the blow, aiming the gun randomly in front of him. He pulls the trigger, hitting Fernando several times across his mid section. Clenching his abdominal musles tight, Feranndo does his best to hold back the pain just a couple of seconds, sending his blade onto the right base of the shoulder and down 1/2 way across to the left of his chest, slicing through the spinal cord, Aorta, heart and lungs.
Some the admiral grabs onto Fernando's throat and clutches at it tightly in a death grip. As he dies, Fernando drags his limp body to the deck railing of the ship and lifts his body over. Heavy with Cybernetics, The admiral's dead weight pulls against Fernando. Fernando fights back hard to get the body off him, but loses his balance. They both go into the waters of the Atlantic. The admiral's heavy cybernetics drag them both to the bottom of the Mariana's Trench. After almost 1/2 an hour, nobody on the Carolina sees either of them two surface.
This ends Fernando's role in Gunslinger Bink.

Razale Came to Alex II give him a note ’ÄúBad news Fernando Died he took Admaral with him so You In charge now Take Oga with you get the kids then Pick up Tammy then Take theme out of Italy Back to NY anyway nescary also your men will Acompley Captian Ranger Ready and Midnight too
Alex II: OK I will I will do it For Fernando
Razale: Good Get Every weapon you need
Alex II: Right *To the UN Inspector* ’ÄúI AM In charge now Oga is with me the mean with yours and if you interfear with the CIA I will talk to the UN about you got it
UN Inspector: SURe Sir
Alex II: Good *Then he open Olga cell as she step out*
Olga: Were we going
Alex II: You in my coustedey we getting the girls Hondo will meet us at the Revedwen point *Then getting every weapons he need also Get the Streach Hummer as he putting the Weapons into the back then he and Olga get into the hummer then drove off also calling Hondo ’ÄúHondo Bad news Fernando is Dead sorry to tell you this so I am in Charge now I am going to Send two US Air Force Jets to Interspect the Bountey Hunters Choper then you need to meet us at the meeting point at Ce Deuew Next Near the Hotel were Tammy is then we getting her too we will leve in my CIA Selth Jet back to New York ok so meet us there
*
Then Two Air Force Jets were called by Alex II as they Intercepet the Bounter hunters jet and blast them too as giving Hondo a Clear shot to the meeting point
- - - - -  
Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -  
Hondo smiles as the bounty hunters copter is blown to smithereens.
"One more point for us you SOB's!!!" Hondo shouts. "Ok, Bink nwe are close to where I left the pick-up. Get down to 25 feet." Bink pulled the craft down to a hover.
"Tell Alex II we still need to get Triela. I'll work on that. If they don't get you home and leave you alone, I'll come for all of you. I don't trust the CIA very far. Fernando was the only one I trusted. I'll miss him, But I believe he is not dead. He will never show himself unless he is needed. I respected him and was privileged to fight side by side with one of the greatest lose cannons of all times. Remember that. I will try to stay alive, but no promises." said hondo with a straight face. He then smiled and patted Bink on the arm.
"You be good, all of you, for me. Make sure the CIA lets Red go after an information alter. Now get to that meeting point. They know how to reach me if they need me." With that Hondo jumped from the craft and disapeared into the dark. The girls left him and made it to the meeting point.
Hondo got to the truck and raced to the ambulance, that he had hidden earlier. He change back into his black hat and duster, turned on cloaking device aboard the ambulance and drove off to regroup and rest. He did not return to the hideout. He knew the CIA would look for him there.
*for Fernando, I will finish.* He thought. *I just wish he was here. That J.I.! If not for her he would not have taken that chance*
Hondo looked in the rear view mirror at the city of Milan. *I'll be back.* He though. I still have a girl to save and a jet to retrieve, that has my copter aboard!*
--------------------------------------------------
Severe Weather Eddie
- - - - -  
Lieutenant Commander Amanda Hasegawa's report of Fernando's death saddened Eddie. The fox had looked up to the squirrel in matters of espionage, and considered him a good mentor and leader.
"He was a good man," Eddie commented. It would be interesting to try ad deprogram the girls now, without his help.
But there was little time to dwell on that now. The matter of the USS North Carolina still had to be dealt with. Her captain was still locked in the ship's CIC and refusing to come out, even after hearing news of Admiral Donnelly's death. That was somewhat understandable, of course, since Captain Thorpe was going to be charged with treason.
The matter was further complicated by the fact that the Texas and her battle group couldn't leave station: there was still a rescue mission going on in Italy. And though the CIA didn't like it, Texas had been authorized by the Pentagon to assist in the operation.
So instead, the loyal crewmen on Carolina were steaming towards the Mediterranean at a steady 20 knots. In addition, the USS Montana, Texas's sister ship, was steaming up from the Persian Gulf through the Suez Canal. However, she would not arrive for another day, since passage through the canal was limited to 8 knots. Once she arrived, Montana would be able to augment Texas's firepower, and allow the battle group to more readily deal with any trouble from North Carolina.
Eddie did not expect much trouble from the commandeered battleship, since her fighting ability had been all bun neutralized. All that her traitorous captain could control directly from the CIC was her missiles, and Ms. Hasegawa was already on her way to making sure that those would be cut off, too.
So it was yet again that Eddie found himself in a waiting game. He could do nothing to help Hondo on his rescue mission; gunfire from the giant battleship would only exacerbate the situation. He did not know if there were further rogue Navy ships out there, waiting to pounce on Enterprise, so he could not leave to go challenge North Carolina directly.
Once again, the vulpine captain found himself up on the conning bridge, on the 09 level, staring out across the Mediterranean Sea at the coast of Italy. He looked over to Enterprise. Midnight was getting ready to fly the explosive laden Italian P-51D off of the carrier. Eddie wished him the best of luck.
There goes a guy with some serious guts, he mused.
As he looked across the battle group that surrounded the battleship, Eddie thought he saw a figure sitting atop the USS San Jacinto's flag bridge.
Evidently I'm not the only one who needs a quiet place to think once in a while, he thought.
The droning of a propeller brought Eddie's attention back to Enterprise as Midnight took off from the deck. The vintage warbird was catapulted off the carrier's deck and into the air. Midnight turned the plane away from the battle group and flew off to the west, towards Corsica. Eddie saluted the plane quickly as it flew by, and then went back inside Texas's conning tower.

I don't know who's right or wrong. i live my days one at a time. If I live through them I say, "Lord, I thank you for another day that I can use for you to help others" and if I do not live I can thank the Lord face to face.
I believe we have done well. I don't want to see folks broken up over this. I would take a bullet and/or a beatin' before I would see others broken up over stuff like this.

Hondo hid the ambulance well.
*even Fernando could not find me.* he thought.*I got to quit dwellin' on that.* He looked over his HQ/home/vehicle.
*an ambulance. I am stuck in this country with a girl to save and a price on my head and I'm in a souped up ambulance.* He sat down on the ground and laughed. He laughed until tears came out of his eyes and continued to laugh until he could laugh no more.
* I haven't slept in days, have no food, low on ammo, have a price on my head, our leader just got 86ed, the CIA now wants me out of here, and I have a job to finish in a country I am not familiar with.*
Hondo decided that he needed sleep first before carrying on.. He was dog tired, and wore thin.
*I'm tired of waitin'.* he thought."Enough is enough! after I get some sleep, It will be a redue of High Noon. Call me Gary Cooper if ya like, but it is time for guns to be blazin'. If I go down. . .well, I'll worry 'bout that latter.*
Hondo laid down in the back of the ambulance. He set the alarm and when to sleep.

it is funny to hear y'all say that. you know I have not conversed with Fernando outside of this story. once or twice he had me not know somethin' I do know, but that is just somethin' he wouldn't know. For them most part he kept me very well in character. I appreciate that. how he did it , I'll never know. The sayin's my lookin' for somethin', takin' a lot of junk with me as I might needed it, the crazy glue, etc. That is me to a T. even the growlin' I'm generally a friendly person, but i will growl if it is needed friend or not. Sorry you all are upset about all that. I know Fernando did not do it a purpose. Don't hold it agin 'im. I have been blessed with a long fuse. but many I know how have been through less have a lot shorter fuse and believe you me, troubles in life do not always lead to longer fuses, just usually ones harder to start, but hit it right and boom.
I'm not sayin' it's right, but it is one of those things that make us what we are.

As Hondo got the girls aboard the copter and got red situated by Angelica he handed Bink a note. the note contained directions to the hideout and what to do with the copter. Bink hopped in pilot seat and started the engine, Rico was copilot, and Claes guarded Red to make sure she took care of Angelica.
"Take off!" Hondo yelled as he jumped on the landing gear and held on to the door. Sirens went off as the hospital security realized that the copter was being 'borrowed'. As they rose into the air security guards and police ran out to the helo pad and fired at them. they were bad shots and the copter was rising too hight to be a good target. As the copter headed out, Hondo hit a button on the remote in his pocket that set off most of the charges.
"Head toward the air port!" Hondo shouted. Bink swung the craft at the air port where many fighter craft were busy getting ready to take off and hunt the copter. When they got close enough Hondo hit another button on the remote that set off all the airport charges, including the ones that were attached to the nose gear of the fighters.
"Head back." Hondo yelled to Bink. She gave him a weird look but did as he ordered. As they flew back an unexpected copter flew at them.
"Keep at them." Hondo yelled. Bink stone-facedly kept going strait at the craft.
When we get close spin 90 degrees." Hondo yelled. Hondo pulled out his .50 cal dragoon and cocked it. When they got close they saw the machine guns in the copter ready to fire on them.
*bounty hunters.* Hondo thought. *but not for long.*

Fernando sends a message to CCC:
Code:
Jeanette may have a point, but the admiral is over 67 years old. Though most in their mid 60's can be strong and vigor, the Admiral is a thin scrappy kind of guy, and had health issues in his early 50's. I believe that at the time, the Admiral used the cybernetics to augment and lengthen his life and not his capabilities. Once after the cybernetics were installed, they were eventually upgraded for strength and ability.
I doubt you can find the files to his cybernetics and their eventual upgrades. Strapulate from that is witnessed in the video what those augmentations could be by cross referencing Grey's Anatomy ( http://www.bartleby.com/107/ ) for the norm, with today's technological advancements from medical university records and research (secret and otherwise). When you're done, get to the Enterprise by any means neccessary.
The sooner you can bring your rivietted tail to the Deck of the Enterprise, the better. Even if you have to conduct the research enroute.
We'll discuss stradegies when you arrive.
 


Fernando then answers Alex II's call.
Fernando: Yes, I understand the situation. Keep stalling them until they get fed up and leave when they receive new orders. I'll see what I can do from here.
Alex II: I'll my best.
Fernando: I expect nothing less. See you later!
Alex II: See you.
Fernando goes to his laptop and start typing into the UN Computer Network, making a few modifications of Italian Investigators' orders, and releasing Olga to Alex II.

[quote="Fernando"]
Fernando: Those days are gone Jeanette. I'm no longer the super squirrel that I was in my youth.
Jeanette: No? Sorry Tammy, but I need to prove something.
Tammy: What?
Jeanette takes Tammy by the wrist and throws her hard off the edge of the ship. Instinctively Fernando spins and grabs the back of her shirt, while clawing the edge of the bow with his toes, indenting the metal for a better grasp. His reaction time being less than 1/2 a second.
Tammy stays quiet as she looks out on her new found view of the sea below her. Slowly, Fernando pulls and right themselves back to the deck of the ship.
Jeanette: See what I mean?
Tammy (in a nervous but relieved voice): Yeah, I see... what you... mean...
Fernando: That was uncalled for Jeanette.
Jeanette: It was, Fernando. You needed a reminder of that. Now I'm asking of you, to give back that trust that I have given you as your rescue partner. Do I have it?
Fernando: On two condictions.
Jeanette: No condictions.
Fernando: Then you wont get it.
Jeanette: Why must I give in so much- OK, what are the condictions.
Fernando: 1) You take over as leader, and have Tammy with us.
Tammy: I told you I'm not going.
Fernando: Bink Is Back With The Others, darn It!
Jeanette: OK, whats, 2?
Fernando: You fly the Lear back to Milan.
Jeanette: I dont fly anymore.
Fernando: You have to get beyond that fear. Just like you do to me about my problems, I get on yours.
Tammy: If I did not know better, I'd swear you two act like you're married.
Jeanette: We're worse than married. We're Rescue Mission Team Partners.
Fernando: You're still flying.
Jeanette: No, I'm Not.

Midnight Man
- - - - -  
Midnight is fast asleep in his cabin on board of the USS Enterprise when RangerReady's voice coming from a speaker wakes him up, calling his name. "Midnight! Midnight!"
Still half asleep, the mouse heaves himself out of bed to answer the call. "Yeah, okay, I'm awake. What's up?"
"I've got order to evacuate everyone who's not important for our mission right now from the ship."
"Which means you want me to leave right now, right?"
"Not only that, I've got a special mission for you. Remember the silver Mustang?"
"How could I ever forget that bird?"
"It's ready to fly again according to the mechanics, and I'd like you to fly it away from here as soon as possible. Get dressed and to the hangar, further instructions will follow on the plane's radio."
"I'm on my way." Midnight quickly puts on his day clothes, takes his stuff, including his three guns, and leaves his room, heading for the hangar where he arrives a few minutes later. He is about to load his stuff into the Mustang's narrow cockpit when something strikes him. Looking behind the seat, he discovers packets of what looks like explosives.
"Midnight, you're there?" the radio comes alive.
"Yes," he replies, "but your team has forgotten some explosives in the plane."
"Actually," RangerReady explains, "they haven't removed anything. In our current situation, we can't afford having them on board this ship."
"And now you expect me to fly this bomb with wings to somewhere where it can't harm your ship?"
"Basically, yes. One unfortunate hit, and this thing would tear the Enterprise in half or even more fragments. Of course, once the danger's over again, I'll ask you to come back. Now get her to the elevator."
The size of said elevator amazes Midnight. A P-51D Mustang with fixed wings fits onto it easily. But he knew that the ship was home for two of its own Mustangs. As soon as the vintage aircraft has reached the flight deck, he climbs into the cockpit and starts up the Merlin V12 mill to move the old bird into position. All the way up he has thought about where to keep it until the danger is over, then he has got an idea.
"RangerReady, can you get me a route through French, and if that's not possible, international airspace to Propriano, Corsica?"
"Midnight, it's the darkest night there, and the Propriano airfield is lacking lighting aids! Why there of all airfields around us?"
"First, Corsica is French. Which means that whoever might try to attack me would have to attack France and risk a war. Second, it's on the western side of the island. Makes naval attacks harder unless they com from Sardinia. Third, it's a small airfield rather than an international airport like Ajaccio or Bastia. And fourth, I can see quite well in the dark, don't worry."
For a moment, the radio remained silent. Then the reply came. "Roger, it'll be Propriano then. Good luck."
--------------------------------------------------
Fernando
- - - - -  
Fernando accesses his laptop and connects to his chronoserver at his place. He activates a time portal to teleport himself home.
After a couple of hours of tracking the whereabouts Admiral Donnelly. Somehow he finds the Admiral on the deck of the Carolina. Tracking him on the chrono server, Fernando goes into his weapons room, digging out a 16th century Samuri Blade given to him by he emperor as a gift in return for a favor. All others items he leave behind; just shirt on his back and the pants on his rear end.
With a few keystrokes, he teleports himself onto the deck of the Carolina.
Fernando: DONELLY! I'M HERE FOR YOU!
From above in the radio room both the captain and the admiral stepped out and look down at Fernando on the deck of the Carolina, armed only with a samuri blade. He was surrounded by several armed guards with their rifles pointed at him.
Captain of the Carolina: Shall I have him shot?
Adm. Donelly: No, I'll take care of him myself.
Captain of the Carolina: Alright, I'll have an es...
Admiral Donelly leaps off the balconey of the Radio room and down 90-some feet to the deck below. He lands hard, leaving a large dent on the deck where he landed.
Adm Donelly: I dont know how you got here Lone Squirrel, but here I am.
The Admiral reaches behind and takes a machine gun from the guard. He quickly turns to Fernando and starts firing. After the smoke clears, all that can be seen is the samuri blade standing on it end, its tip embedded on the wooden deck of the ship.
Before the Admiral can turn around, Fernando comes from above with an aerial round house kick to his jaw. The Admiral staggers back, and Fernando somersults to his blade, hopping off the deck railing and flying back to the Admiral, Fernando has his blade over his back for the kill.
The Admiral shakes off the blow, aiming the gun randomly in front of him. He pulls the trigger, hitting Fernando several times across his mid section. Clenching his abdominal musles tight, Feranndo does his best to hold back the pain just a couple of seconds, sending his blade onto the right base of the shoulder and down 1/2 way across to the left of his chest, slicing through the spinal cord, Aorta, heart and lungs.
Some the admiral grabs onto Fernando's throat and clutches at it tightly in a death grip. As he dies, Fernando drags his limp body to the deck railing of the ship and lifts his body over. Heavy with Cybernetics, The admiral's dead weight pulls against Fernando. Fernando fights back hard to get the body off him, but loses his balance. They both go into the waters of the Atlantic. The admiral's heavy cybernetics drag them both to the bottom of the Mariana's Trench. After almost 1/2 an hour, nobody on the Carolina sees either of them two surface.
This ends Fernando's role in Gunslinger Bink.

Razale Came to Alex II give him a note ’ÄúBad news Fernando Died he took Admaral with him so You In charge now Take Oga with you get the kids then Pick up Tammy then Take theme out of Italy Back to NY anyway nescary also your men will Acompley Captian Ranger Ready and Midnight too

*
Then Two Air Force Jets were called by Alex II as they Intercepet the Bounter hunters jet and blast them too as giving Hondo a Clear shot to the meeting point
- - - - -  
Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -  
Hondo smiles as the bounty hunters copter is blown to smithereens.
"One more point for us you SOB's!!!" Hondo shouts. "Ok, Bink nwe are close to where I left the pick-up. Get down to 25 feet." Bink pulled the craft down to a hover.
"Tell Alex II we still need to get Triela. I'll work on that. If they don't get you home and leave you alone, I'll come for all of you. I don't trust the CIA very far. Fernando was the only one I trusted. I'll miss him, But I believe he is not dead. He will never show himself unless he is needed. I respected him and was privileged to fight side by side with one of the greatest lose cannons of all times. Remember that. I will try to stay alive, but no promises." said hondo with a straight face. He then smiled and patted Bink on the arm.
"You be good, all of you, for me. Make sure the CIA lets Red go after an information alter. Now get to that meeting point. They know how to reach me if they need me." With that Hondo jumped from the craft and disapeared into the dark. The girls left him and made it to the meeting point.
Hondo got to the truck and raced to the ambulance, that he had hidden earlier. He change back into his black hat and duster, turned on cloaking device aboard the ambulance and drove off to regroup and rest. He did not return to the hideout. He knew the CIA would look for him there.
*for Fernando, I will finish.* He thought. *I just wish he was here. That J.I.! If not for her he would not have taken that chance*
Hondo looked in the rear view mirror at the city of Milan. *I'll be back.* He though. I still have a girl to save and a jet to retrieve, that has my copter aboard!*
--------------------------------------------------
Severe Weather Eddie
- - - - -  
Lieutenant Commander Amanda Hasegawa's report of Fernando's death saddened Eddie. The fox had looked up to the squirrel in matters of espionage, and considered him a good mentor and leader.
"He was a good man," Eddie commented. It would be interesting to try ad deprogram the girls now, without his help.
But there was little time to dwell on that now. The matter of the USS North Carolina still had to be dealt with. Her captain was still locked in the ship's CIC and refusing to come out, even after hearing news of Admiral Donnelly's death. That was somewhat understandable, of course, since Captain Thorpe was going to be charged with treason.
The matter was further complicated by the fact that the Texas and her battle group couldn't leave station: there was still a rescue mission going on in Italy. And though the CIA didn't like it, Texas had been authorized by the Pentagon to assist in the operation.
So instead, the loyal crewmen on Carolina were steaming towards the Mediterranean at a steady 20 knots. In addition, the USS Montana, Texas's sister ship, was steaming up from the Persian Gulf through the Suez Canal. However, she would not arrive for another day, since passage through the canal was limited to 8 knots. Once she arrived, Montana would be able to augment Texas's firepower, and allow the battle group to more readily deal with any trouble from North Carolina.
Eddie did not expect much trouble from the commandeered battleship, since her fighting ability had been all bun neutralized. All that her traitorous captain could control directly from the CIC was her missiles, and Ms. Hasegawa was already on her way to making sure that those would be cut off, too.
So it was yet again that Eddie found himself in a waiting game. He could do nothing to help Hondo on his rescue mission; gunfire from the giant battleship would only exacerbate the situation. He did not know if there were further rogue Navy ships out there, waiting to pounce on Enterprise, so he could not leave to go challenge North Carolina directly.
Once again, the vulpine captain found himself up on the conning bridge, on the 09 level, staring out across the Mediterranean Sea at the coast of Italy. He looked over to Enterprise. Midnight was getting ready to fly the explosive laden Italian P-51D off of the carrier. Eddie wished him the best of luck.
There goes a guy with some serious guts, he mused.
As he looked across the battle group that surrounded the battleship, Eddie thought he saw a figure sitting atop the USS San Jacinto's flag bridge.
Evidently I'm not the only one who needs a quiet place to think once in a while, he thought.
The droning of a propeller brought Eddie's attention back to Enterprise as Midnight took off from the deck. The vintage warbird was catapulted off the carrier's deck and into the air. Midnight turned the plane away from the battle group and flew off to the west, towards Corsica. Eddie saluted the plane quickly as it flew by, and then went back inside Texas's conning tower.

"I'll be around then, If you don't get her or need a hand i'll be there., but I'll be gone as soon as this I over with. I'm goin' to Find Fernando."Hondo said.
"Fernando is dead!" Alex II said.
"Well then, I'll find his body! If I have to pose as a fisherman for th e next ten years, I'll do it! I might be a loner, But I still never leave a man behind!" Hondo said. "And one other thing, if I find out the CIA didn't leave those girls alone after this is done, I'll hold you responsible."
"I don't make the decisions for. . . " Alex II was cut short.
"Well you better make sure how ever does makes the right one! I will save those girls from our own government if I have too." Hondo said.
"let just worry about saving them now." Alex II said.
"Yah, yah. I'll be in the vicinity in about an hour and a half." Hondo said.
"OK, but it would make things easier if you told us were you were." Alex said.
"No! Good bye." and without waiting for a reply Hondo hung the phone up.
*better get ready to move out.* He thought as he checked the ambulance over and made ready for a high speed ride to the other side of Milan.

Protocol 7 had placed the AI bat almost instantly on the Enterprise; in time to see Fernando step through the time portal. Remotely accessing Fernando's server, the AI found out where he had gone, and altered it's own coordinates to match (within a few metres). On arrival, it was hit by a hail of lead and knocked over the side. A moment later, Fernando and the admiral fell on top of the AI's head.
Changing to a body more suited to the environment, the AI octopus carefully pried Fernando loose from the dead admiral (not an easy job by any means), and attempted to access Fernando's temporal server...
Ten minutes later, in a very definately inland hospital, a doctor was explaining to the bat that the half-drowned flying squirrel would be just find the moment he woke up, but that that moment might be somewhat delayed.
(I'm always unhappy to see people leave...)

Midnight Man

Another thing to tell about the Propriano (LFKO) airfield is that it is closed over the night. But the lone pilot in the shiny vintage craft would land there even if they covered the runway with barbed wire. This was what the one controller realizes when he enters the airfield in the early morning. The sun has begun to rise, but it is still so low that it doesn't shine over Corsica's hills and onto the west coast yet. This in turn means that an approach to a dark and closed airfield without illumination against the rising sun looks like an awfully bad idea. And still, the silver bird keeps coming closer, meanwhile close enough to enable the canine on the airfield to see the landing gears. Whoever this is, he is serious. And this is no Cessna and no Piper either, this thing is so fast he'd never be in the tower to guide the pilot in time, so why not stay outside?
It's not before the plane touches down on the runway 10 that it identifies itself as a warbird in Italian livery. 65 years ago, this would have meant an Italian invasion. Miniature invasion, but still. The aircraft slows down and taxis to a place to stop on the grass aside the runway.
Midnight opens the canopy and takes a deep breath of Corsica's seaside air. He is relieved that he made it to Propriano safely. But upon seeing the controller (and probably only person in charge on the entire airfield) approach. 'Of all animals in the world,' he thinks as he sees him, 'does this guy have to be a Border Collie?!'
"Excuse me," the dog says, "but this airfield is closed."
"First, no, it isn't, you were here before I touched down," Midnight replies. "Second, got a better idea where to land this plane?" As he speaks, he notices that the dog in charge is already making use of his most powerful sense. He is sniffing around.
"You must have some serious guts to land here with all the guns and explosives in your plane. Who and what are you, apart from a mouse?" The controller would put a gun onto Midnight's chest if he had one. But he himself feels uneasy about what he has discovered.
"Um, guns? Explosives?"
"I can smell them. This box here," he takes the wooden box with the Micro Uzi in it, "contains a weapon shooting live ammo. This box," he removes the other box from the plane, "contains a weapon shooting tranq ammo. I smelled the tranquilizer if you need to know. Besides," with one quick grip, he draws the gun Fernando has modified from Midnight's holster, so does this one. And the explosives are distributed all over the plane, but it wouldn't take me much time to find them, trust me. Besides, the aircraft's cannons are loaded, too."
"Wow, that's one amazing smelling sense."
"Not really. My grandfather could tell from the scent of a plane flying past where they got the fuel, how much ammo they had left, and if someone from the crew had wet himself. Seemed to happen often at war." The dog chuckled. "Anyway, I'm still waiting for a plausible explanation what you're doing here on French ground with this winged bomb."
"Alright, I'll tell you. I'm coming from the carrier USS Enterprise. We captured this plane, apparently someone who's working for the Italian government has sent the plane and the pilot to stop or at least severe the covert rescue operation we're on. First, he tried to shoot down the Learjet I used to fly some of the team back to the Enterprise which he refrained from when he found himself surrounded by modern fighters. Then, when he was forced to land on the Enterprise, too, he shot the plane's cannons at anything he could hit. We can be lucky he didn't get to ignite the explosives. And the last thing I know is that US Army ships were ordered to attack and destroy the Enterprise whose captain didn't want to have these amounts of explosives on his ship in case of an attack. If you don't trust me, I can try to establish a connection to the Enterprise's captain."
"No, no, I trust you, no problem. And I understand that landing here, despite the bad conditions, was safer than landing on a big commercial airport."
"Say... what's your name?" Midnight asks.
"You can call me Marcel."
"Okay, Marcel, then you can call me Martin." He pronounced the name the French way. "You do know that what I told you is secret until further notice? Is anyone else coming here today?"
"Oh, from time to time, there are some small craft coming in and flying away again, but not every day, so I'm one out of only two persons in charge. The other one, Didier, will be here in half an hour. I suggest we'd better hide your plane in the hangar before he's here. He needn't know anything about it."

Hondo notices they are parked beside a building so he enters the building from the opposite side and comes to a window over their car.
Alex II is sitting in his car hoping Hondo will get there soon little does he expect what was coming.
Hondo was tried of waiting, tried of sneaking, just plan tired, and unsettled over Fernando's unnecessary (supposed) death. It showed a little too much.
Hondo jumped from the window and landed on the car roof scaring the occupants. Hondo hung upside down over the windshield at the occupants and the guns pointed at him. He smiled big at them.
"Honeys I'm home! Ready to kick some butts?" with that Hondo jumped to the ground. Hondo was ready for a show down he had his pistols in shoulder holsters, two tranqu. pistols on his hips a shot gun strapped to his back and a rifle in his hand.
"I'm through playin' around. Y'all comin' or are y'gonna site here and wait for me to bring 'er back myself?" Hondo said with an evil type grin that just showed the strain and tiredness he was experiencing.

Don't take it personal Sinc. Fernando was lookin' for a fast way out. He was insulted, and I don't blame him, and wanted to get out. It was not to be a martyr/hero himself. we need to still play by the rules.
And don't hold it agin Fernando. He needs a break after all that and didn't try to hurt anyone, but got slammed himself.
We need to just keep on keepin' on.
and as far as the trench goes, I don't remember a location for the North Carolina. I was told the big jet would almost be out of fuel when it reached the North Carolina. It would have to be that far to run that beast out of gas.

I put Fernando in charge of the mission and I agreed with his decision not to use science fiction other than what a character entered into this universe with such as cybernetic implants and Protocol 7. During the past few weeks I have been busy with painting my sister's house and haven't had as much time for this project. I'm back now, however too much has happened since Fernando used his time machine. To correct that a lot of rewriting needs to be done and all that rewriting may end up creating more problems than it solves. Fernando's use of the time machine therefore stands. Any attempt to use time travel to save Fernando is non-canon.

As for writing out of character, it may be good if everyone writes a profile for their character for to be used in round robins and stick to it. Include what your character would do and not do. Perhaps a separate thread and have it sticky so it can be easily accessed. Keep it simple, if you have to edit your round robin character profile, go ahead and edit it.

It happened when Eddie had stopped for just two minutes. He had made very sure that there was nothing requiring his immediate attention before sitting down with a map and a cup of coffee, trying to see if he could find a course home that would completely evade the Carolina.
It was in his cabin, which was empty. He had just picked up the cup of coffee, when...
"Eddie."
"Gyah!" Eddie jumped, and then spun around to see an AI bat, covered in coffee.
"Is this an inappropriate moment?" it asked.
"No." sighed Eddie. "It's just that you arrived unexpectedly. One usually knocks first."
"I see. I shall do so immediately."
The bat vanished (leaving the coffee behind to fall on the floor), reappeared a few steps away, and knocked on the door from the inside.
"You had something to say?" prompted Eddie.
"That is correct."
There were a few moments of silence, before Eddie asked "And what is it that you had to say?"
"I wanted to ask if there was any manner in which I could make myself useful. This rescue mission seems to be in continual danger of failure, and I would like to know if there is any way I can offset that tendancy."

Before the Admiral can turn around, Fernando comes from above with an aerial round house kick to his jaw. The Admiral staggers back, and Fernando somersults to his blade, hopping off the deck railing and flying back to the Admiral, Fernando has his blade over his back for the kill.
The Admiral shakes off the blow, aiming the gun randomly in front of him. He pulls the trigger, hitting Fernando several times across his mid section. Clenching his abdominal musles tight, Feranndo does his best to hold back the pain just a couple of seconds, sending his blade onto the right base of the shoulder and down 1/2 way across to the left of his chest, slicing through the spinal cord, Aorta, heart and lungs.
Some the admiral grabs onto Fernando's throat and clutches at it tightly in a death grip. As he dies, Fernando drags his limp body to the deck railing of the ship and lifts his body over. Heavy with Cybernetics, The admiral's dead weight pulls against Fernando. Fernando fights back hard to get the body off him, but loses his balance. They both go into the waters of the Atlantic. The admiral's heavy cybernetics drag them both to the bottom of the Mariana's Trench. After almost 1/2 an hour, nobody on the Carolina sees either of them two surface.

Dr. Aiesha G.'s report.
Code:
1/2 drowned patient was recieved earlier today, brought in by an artifical life form. Despite attempts to revive him, he remained in a coma like state until life sign monitors declared himdead 2 hours later.
Autopsy reveals that the patient has been shot several times across his midsection before drowning, and had bled out while submerged underwater. This was not accounted for, as a blood transfusion and operative proceedures on his wounds would have saved him.

Hondo gets in the car with Alex II to head off to find the last lass. He heard updated news on Fernando. The truth of his death set in firmly. This only set Hondo's mind further into win mode and helped steady him down and focus on what lies ahead. He seem to catch his 5th or 6th wind, as his 2nd wind was long used up.
"Well, were are they and what is your plan, Al."Hondo said.
* the Commander and Boss man titles are Fernando's. I will not use them on another.* he thought.
as he always did before speaking Alex II handed Hondo a few papers for him to read.
"I'll read as you speak. Come on, spit 'er out!" Hondo growled.
"Alright, here is the plan. . . "

Eddie looked at the AI bat.
"Nope, there's nothing that needs to be done. Commander Hasegawa has maintained her regular reports, so it's safe to assume that the North Carolina is still under her control and on course and schedule to meet us here. Montana will be here by tonight to provide additional firepower and deterrence."
Eddie looked down at his coffee-stained khaki uniform.
"Next time, please remember to knock, though."
OOC: I'm not sure if it's slipped through the cracks or not, but the battleship USS North Carolina is no longer an "enemy" threat. True, her captain was corrupt, as was most of the senior leadership. But only a small number aboard were following Donnelly's orders. The rest of the ship cooperated with Ms. Hasegawa (the gunnery officer) in a takeover.
In short, the North Carolina is back in proper hands, and should not attack Enterprise or anyone else affilliated with the rescue. All that remains to be done is to figure out how to get the traitorous members of the crew out of the ship's CIC.

In the van, Alex's phone rings. IRAS shows up on the caller ID. Alex cautiously answers it, not knowing what to expect.
"Alex II. This is Misao Sakimori of the IRAS. I need to speak to Bink."
Not knowing this person and not being able to verify she is from the IRAS at this time other than what the caller ID says, he denies that Bink is with him to play it safe.
"I know Bink, Claes and Rico are with you and that you are on your way to retrieve Triela from Hilshire based on intelligence from Olga. For Angelica's sake, I need to speak with Bink."
Alex II hands the phone to Bink.
Misao is completely straight with Bink. "If you wish to help your friend Angelica before she dies, you need to call Marco."

"I think you should, Bink. Have that feelin' again. If it is our only chance then we had better take it." He said.
"But Hondo!" Alex II said.
"What are you worried about? You have enough weaponry to start and finish a revolution. I say we contact this fellow then get Triela. if you are worried, Bink and I will meet him alone to discuses terms." Hondo said.
"Oh, all right." Alex said.
Bink turns to Hondo, "Thank you."
"Don't worry about it, kid. wait and thank me when it is over." He said. Alex II gets busy contactin' their man Marco.

Bink dials Marco's cell phone and Marco answers. "Marco." Bink began.
"What is it?"
"When I visited Angelica this morning, she got distracted by something outside her window. When I asked her about it, she didn't remember me coming in her room or what we talked about a few seconds earlier."
"I see. I'll notify the doctors. They will run some tests on her and see what's going on."
"Marco!"
"Is there something else?"
"You have to see her. Just go visit her."
"The doctors have taken all the necessary precautions. Should anything happen, they'll notify me."
"Please! Just visit her."
"It's pointless, Bink. There's nothing I can do for her any more."
"You don't have to do anything. Just be by her side. She wants that. Please, Marco."
"Bink. Are you afraid of dying?"
"I am not afraid of anything, sir."
"You don't resent what these doctors have done to you? Giving you nothing but a mechanical body, a handful of bullets and a life too short to enjoy?"
"All of us girls have accepted what we've been made to do so if you all pity or feel sorry for us, then you're mistaken. I realize this may be the conditioning saying this, but I don't mind. Even so . . . I'm not afraid to die. I'm certain Angelica feels the same way!"

Dr. Aiesha pulls rank on the pathologist and has a stay in the autopsy room to be alone with her dad. Quietly she gathers his belongings, what little he had on him, and places them in a personal item's bag, listing each thing put in. The finaly thing she removes, a medical bracelette that says: "Do Not Autopsy or Disect." They only know each other for no more than 5 years, but in those 5 years, they have grown closer than any father/daughter would have.
The door opens from behind, and Aiesha turns around, seeing someone in a lab coat enter the room.
Dr. Aiesha (in a very loud and angry tone of voice): I SAID I WANTED TO BE LEFT ALONE!!!
He closes the door behind him as he makes his statement: Now, thats no way to talk to your father...
Dr. Aiesha was about to take some form of action, but is frozen in place, like deer staring at a set of headlights on a dark highway. He walks over the corpse on the bed, uncovering it. He reached behind the neck of the body until a strange metallic 'CLACK!' was heard.
Dr. Aiesha: You cant be! HOW!
Fernando: This is one of CCC's Squirrel Bots; though made to my likeness. You mind holding down the shoulders? I have to recycle a few parts for him.
Dr. Aiesha: But...
Fernando: You guys ever considered taking this bot's wieght?
Dr. Aiesha goes through the autopsy logs:
Code:
Name of Deceased: Fernando G.
Order:    Rodentia
Family:    Sciuridae
Subfamily:    Sciurinae
Tribe:    Pteromyini
Sex:   Male
Age:   47
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 350 lbs
...
..
.
 


Dr. Aiesha: 350 pounds? Thats cant be right! You weight about 180...
Fernando: Now you see... I'm a flying squirrel, my bones are hollow, and therefore I cant weight 350 pounds.
Dr. Aiesha: But, who is that?
Fernando: Like I said, is one of CCC's bot constructs, made to look like me, sound like me, and to most extent, think like me when given the proper inputs.
Dr. Aiesha: But what do you want with the head?
Fernando: The Bot's logs are there in a solid state hard drive, and its memory and computaional core is in its tail. Help me dismantle it and we can rid ourselves of this body.
Dr. Aiesha: But...
Fernando: But... but... but... you sound like a broken record! Whats wrong?!!
Dr. Aiesha: There's a death certificate for you and everything!
Fernando: So? Its not the first time... Believe me... you think you mom got that $5million check in 1994 because she won the lottery? No... that was the first time I faked a death. Too bad she profitted from it.
Dr. Aiesha: But why?!!
Fernando: Shhh... look... there are certain people who want to make sure that I died in this last mission. OK? So... with this Death Certificate, to them, I am... Now I can go out and finish this mission and take care of those who would harm all of us because they have nothing better to do! Understand where I'm coming from?
Dr. Aiesha: Who...*HMMMM!*
Fernando (putting his hand on her mouth): Look, just understand that this world is filled with nasty people.... darn... I'm going to need some tools... I got a hearse upstairs waiting. Help me drag this bot and I'll explain everything...
Dr. Aiesha does as she is told in silence, and once with the bot is in the hearse, they drive away.

"Another incoming flight, sir."
Eddie looked up from a chart on the Texas's bridge. "How many this time?"
"They've got 29 evacuees, sir."
"Great."
Since tensions had died down a bit, the USS Texas was now serving as a temporary destination for American tourists evacuated from Italy, from where they would be shipped out to the San Antonio or any of the other "refugee ships" that the Navy had brought in. Th amphibs were staying out in international waters, away from any potential danger.
Eddie got up and began the journey to roughly 400 feet aft of where he was: the battleship's helicopter control platform, which jutted out from the superstructure above her Number 3 turret. This time it wasn't an SH-60 Sea Hawk that was bringing evacuees, but a Navy CH-53E Super Stallion. The Super Stallion came in at an angle, so that it could fit on the battleship's fantail. At 99 feet long, getting the bird onto Texas was somewhat tricky. The ship's aftermost turret, Turret 4, had been rotated so that the guns pointed to sea. This was necessary to make room for the chopper.
The rotor wash from the CH-53 was evident on the water as it approached the battleship. Eddie had to hold onto his hat to keep from losing it.The pilot set it down gently on the ship's fantail and shut down the Stallion's three GE turboshaft engines, which made the wind buffeting Eddie and the crewmen on station cease.
Four crewman went out to meet the CH-53. The doors opened, a flight crew member stepped out, and began helping the frightened and confused tourists out of the aircraft. Eddie climbed down the stairs and onto the main deck of the Texas and went out to meet those coming aboard.
"Welcome to the battleship USS Texas," he said. "I'm Captain Dixon. You'll stay here for a little while before we send you out to one of the amphibious assault ships. I'm not going to lie to you, it's not going to be too comfortable on board. But we'll give you a good hot meal and a place to stay for a bit."
"You should know that we are still operating under wartime conditions, so you'll need to do what you're told. You can't just wander around freely."
The group of tourists nodded.
"Any of y'all that need medical attention will be taken care of right away. Everyone else, these men will escort you to one of the mess halls."
The ragtag group of tourists trudged away, led by several crewmen. A few were bandaged up a bit, and sent to the ship's infirmary. Fortunately, no one was too seriously injured.
After watching the evacuees go below decks, Eddie turned and made his way back to the bridge. The Super Stallion would stay on the battleship's fantail until the group was ready to be sent to one of the amphibs. Meantime, the captain was needed elsewhere.

OOC: Nice plot development, Charles, just one quick thing: I don't think North Korea's poor economy could support Kim Jong Il handing out a trillion NK won (pronounced wawn, I think...it's NK's currency.) for anything. Also, the NK won-US Dollar exchange rate is $1 USD= 141.00 won. So a trillion won would be about $7.092 billion US. Just a small quibble.

Alex II: Hondo how long Angelica got *Taking out His AK-47*
[\quote]
Hondo looked at the poor little gal, who was laying across the seat resting her head in Claes' lap.
"Not sure, Al. If she keeps hope and is as strong a fighter as she was built to be she might last 2 days, but she may not see the day through either, if we don't get somethin' done soon." Hondo said with disgust rising in his voice.
"I should have gotten her to the ship as planned, then came back for Triela. MAN! I hate bein' couped up in this car! Need to be outside sizin' up the enemy then soundin' the charge!" Hondo sat back, took out a pistol and cleaned it for the twentieth time since he entered the van. The others looked at him worried like, then looked away. Hondo noticed their stares and confusion.
"Sorry 'bout that. I've been on edge since I heard we lost Fernando. He knew how to keep me busy and handle my nervous energy when I got all worked up over waitin'. I am used top workin' by myself and hate relyin' on anyone! No offence. Fernando is the one fella that I can say I liked to work with. He understands, you folks don't. I am in the dark here, when I was with the boss man, everythin' was clear as crystal." Hondo said
"i can kind of understand." Alex II said. "I too would not like to be in your place, but I can not give you any more info or let you work out of the group."
"No offence, but I am only workin' with you to help these gals. You are CIA. Because of the info and trainin' used on these girls, I don't really trust you. You have to be loyal to the CIA and it's wishes. I am loyal to my God, my Friends and then to what I think is right. No direct higher authorities that can fire me or slam me in the hoosegow or can watch my every move and demand reports." Hondo said calmly, not meanin' any offense, but he had a bad habit of sayin' what he though.
"We understand." Bink said.
"No, you don't." Hondo said in a kind tone with a slight smile. " but, that is why I am here. To make sure you have the chance to understand." The girls all looked at each other and then at Hondo and for the first time, since they have been together, smiled.
"I like to learn new things. Thank you for the chance." Claes said.
"I keep tellin' ya! Don't thank me until we're out of this." Hondo said with a mock stern look that did not fool the girls. "anyway, tyhe one who deserves the thanks is not here." hondo looked back at the pistol in his hands, sadly.
"We know, but he would have wanted us to tell you. He trusted you and told us to do the same." Bink said.
"Thanks, Bink. I needed that." Hondo said with a have smile.
* now if I can only get the precious little gals out of here once we get the last one.* He thought.

Fernando
- - - - -  
Eventually Fernando & Dr. Aiesha get the bot to the basement of his place to be worked on in a future date. Its main power source and control servos too water logged with salt water and shorted out. Until then, there were things to see, places to go and people to do. As it always seems, there is toomuch to do and not enough time to do it in. Somehow, withoug alerting anyone, Fernando must get his doctor daughter to the The Enterprise to start dealing with the girls and to it so in under 4 hours. Fernando makes a few phone calls as they walk back upstairs.
Fernando: Aiesha, I need you to come with me 1/2 way across the world to deal with a situation that you would find vile and interesting at the same time. But first, you need to do a lot of catching up to do.
Dr. Aiesha: What are you talking about, dad?
Fernando (Giving Rachel to her): Start reading up in 'Project WarriorMaid' and 'Gunslinger' You got 3 hours to learn it and figure out a cure.
Dr.Aiesha (Getting inside the Hearse): Then, where are we going?
Fernando: Italy.
Fernando drives to Teterboro Airport, where a barrowed modified NASA T-38 was waiting for them. A NASA Crew was there waiting for them, with 3 T-38s.
Several mechanics were looking over one of the planes as Fernando drives onto the tramac. Several people in flight gear walks over to Fernando and Dr. Aiesha as they got out of the hearse.
Fernando: Hello Carl, Denise, everyone.
Denise walks to Fernando with a floded flight gear jacket and a flight helmet: The Enterprise is expecting you, but dont know who you are until you take the helmet off. They will know Dr. Aiesha is with you to deal with the girls.
Fernando: Thank you Denise.
Another pilot gives Dr. Aiesha a flight suit and a small bag to put her lab coat and tiny medical tool bag in. It gets locked into the front nose cargo area. She takes the laptop with her.
Carl: You know the T-38 is a bit trickier to fly than most. Just take it easy on the controls... #03 is an old bird, but she's never failed on anyone in the past 25 years.
Fernando: Thank You, Carl...
Denise: Just take it easy with her and she'll get you there in 2 hours. European Airspace is also alerted to your targetted landing time and location, so no one should bother you. If they do, you got chafs, guns and Electronics Jamming Countermeasures (EJC).
Fernando: Thank you.
They start to walk away, as Fernando guides Aiesha to one of the 3 T-38s as the others get into the other two, climb in and start rolling down the runways. After a while, Fernando helps his little girl into the plane and then into the cockpit himself. He reads his instructions and start the plane's engines. Soon they'll be flying to the Enterprise.

Derrick 2 Came out with a Two 9mm. "HONDO I AM Derrick 2 Time to die"
--------------------------------------------------
Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -  
Derrick 2 approached the van with his two 9mm pistols pointed at the figure sitting in the van, with face turned away, wearing the western hat and duster.
"HONDO I AM Derrick 2 Time to die" he said.
"For you to die." Came a voice to his left. The figure in the van removed the hat letting her long blond hair fall out of the hat as she turned to look at derrick 2. Bink was kneeling on the seat wearing Hondo's Hat and bullet proof duster. Derricks eyes got wide.
Hondo was watching from beside the building as Derrick 2 approached and made his 'greeting' . When Hondo spoke Bink took off the hat and revealed to derrick that he had been made a fool of. Hondo knew he would not be reasonable. he would be furious, therefore not thinking clearly. Hondo still had his leather vest on, which was bullet proof, and had his Colt dragoon .50 cal. in hand. Derrick the 2 spun 90 degrees to the left to face Hondo, shooting as he spun. two bullets found Hondo, one was stopped by the vest covering his shoulder the other just creased his left arm. Even so Hondo brought the gun to bear and shot with lightning speed and accuracy. Hondo knew, since this maniac had 2 rapid firing pistols, he needed to take him out in one shot also he figuring Derrick 2 had on a bullet proof vest, so the only one shot weak area was the head.
BOOOOM!! The .50 cal. Dragoon leaped in his hand and Derrick 2 was no more. Bink, Claes, and Rico high fived each other, and Hondo just stood there a moment with a look of disgust on his face.
*He had to be by the van, didn't he!* Hondo thought. * Alex II will not be happy with the mess on his van.* Hondo grabbed a rain coat out of the back of the van and laid it over the dead clone. He turned and spoke to the girls.
"He played with the devil and this is how he went. This is also why we are helping you girls. Put God first and others second then death will matter little and you won't die like this; with out honor." Hondo said this and took his coat and hat back from Bink and put them on. He reloaded his empty chamber on his pistol, pulled out another, just in case.
"Whjat is takin' Al so long?" he wondered out loud. "better get back soon, or I'll have to go in after him."

Triela, who is standing close to Derrick, does a quick spin landing her right foot to the back of his right knee followed by her right elbow just below his chest. As Derrick goes down, Triela finishes him off with a right-hand chop to the back of his neck. Derrick is down for the count.

Fernando
- - - - -  
Flying at Mach 2.25, the flight across the Atlantic only takes 90 minutes, much of the time going subsonic to look for the ship. Over the Mediterranean Sea, Fernando turns on the NASA computers to find the Enterprise and the rest of the Fleet. It only takes seconds to verify its location, near Genoa, and not near Gibralter where it was last seen. From 90,000ft Fernando lowers the altitude to 20,000ft when he enters the gateway of the Mediterranean at the Straits of Gibraltar. Though his flight plan was registered with international authorities, military patrols have a perked interest as fighters from the surrounding countries swooped down upon the T-38 to eye it. The large 'N A S A' lettering on the tail of the T-38 tells them that this is a research aircraft and not a hostile aircraft.
Several military tried radio the T-38 as they pulled up along side it. Fernando turned to face then and tap the side of the his helmet, stating to them in pilot sign language 'Dead Radio'. A set of Mig 27s came from Lybia, surrounding the T-38, and after Fernando acknowledges to them that his radio is defunct, one takes to his tail and applies missile lock on him.
Fernando (to himself): Stupid Idiot...
Dr. Aiesha: What's going on?
Fernando: darn stupid Lybian has his missle lock on us...
Fernando reaches over to te dashboard and uncovers his chaf and EJC switches while reading himself to grab the airbrake. Just as he prepares himself for an evasive manuver, the MIGs fly away as a voice crackles into his radio headset.
Voice on Radio: NASA 03, this is Strike Fighter Squadron Eight Six (VFA-86). The MIGs have boogied, you are clear to rendevous with the Enterprise.
Fernando: Thank you VFA-86. ETA 15 minutes. See you there.
VFA-86: See you there, they are expecting you.
The F-18s fly away, continuing with their flight patrol over the Mediterranean. Fernando lands the T-38 onto the deck of the Enterprise, with the crew and its Captain awaiting. Once on the deck, the passenger/co-pilot canopy opens, and Dr. Aeisha steps out. Fernando remains inside the aircraft until it is stowed away onto the hanger elevator. Fernando gets out of the on the plane once its set on the elevator, still wearing his flight helmet and sunshield. He walks over to the Captain, and taps him on the shoulder, signalling him to follow. He goes back to his assigned room with Captain RangerReady behind.
Captain RR: Those quarters are closed.
Fernando takes off his hemlet to reveal himself.
Fernando: Then open it.
Captain RR: Wait a minute! You were killed fightin*...
Fernando quickly covers RR's mouth.
Fernando: Shhh... You got spies everywhere. Now open the room and get inside.
Captain RR hesitates before unlocking the door and entering. Fernando follows, closing the door behind.
Captain RR: What brings you back from the dead?
Fernando: Though there is a partial success in the rescue, too many are taking personal liberties in promoting their own mission objectives for other factions and groups. Furthermore, I brought in Dr. Aiesha, who researched cybernetic implant back in her Premedical Studies. She'll be a key asset in dealing with the girls, provided that we get them here and back to the Cafe. These girls are to be brought back without interference from anyone who would deem a profit in owning them.
Captain RR (stroking his chin): I see. Well, most of the operations have been moved to te USS Texas, under Captain Eddie.
Fernando: We need to reestablish the Enterprise as the center of operations of the rescue mission, and the Texas and the rest of the battle group as her escorts.
Captain RR: Leave that up to me.
Fernando: And Captain.
Captain RR: Yes?
Fernando: Fernando is technically dead, and to continue this facade to fool the spies, I shall be referred to as (Agent) Elfen.
Captain RR: Elfen, it is. Just explain to me why is there such a heavy interest in these cyborg girls.
Fernando: Simple, Captain. These girls are Gunslingers, cyborgs programmed to kill upon orders. Better than any supersolider ever created, so you can see, why so many would want them for themselves.
Captain RR: And what makes you think that they would follow you?
Fernando: I've already started decompiling their condictioning programs, so now they are more inclined to listen and think first before pulling the trigger. Bink especially. Just have part of the medical wing ready for them, and Dr. Aiesha and I will take care of the rest.
Captain RR: Alright then; this is a lot of trust I'm going to bestow on you, but its something that has to be done... right?
Fernando: Right.
Captain RR: I'll let you rest up from your long flight and I'll personally come back with dinner.
Fernando: Dont worry about me, RR keep an eye on Dr. Aiesha for me.
Captain RR: Hmmm... Alright then.
Fernando: I assume that the others are still here?
Captain RR: To my knowledge, they are. Unless they transfered to the Texas, I can find out for you.
Fernando: Please do, but do not alert them to my presence. I will have to to that when the time is right. For now, I'll spend my time here.
Captain RR: Will do.
Fernando: Thanks... for everything...
--------------------------------------------------
Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -  
Hondo was getting ready to enter the building to look for Alex II when he exited carrying Derrick followed by Triela.
"you are still in one piece I see. Alex said to Hondo.
"What did ya expect. I was wonderin' 'bout you. see your in one piece, but how 'bout 'im?" Hondo asked.
"Triela knocked him out." Alex II said.
"Good on you, Gal!" Hondo said.
"Is he one of us?" Triela asked lookin' suspiciously at Hondo. Both Alex II and Hondo laughed.
"Of course he is." Alex II said then he looked at Hondo and said, "well at least he is one of the good guys. one of his own is more like it."
"I'm not sure how to take that?" Hondo said. Alex II just chuckled. He still had Derrick on his shoulder.
"Help me with him, would you?" Alex II asked.
"Sure." Hondo said. Hondo grabbed derricks right arm with his left then started to drop him, but caught him with his left.
"Ahh, forgot 'bout that." Hondo snarled.
"are you alright?" Alex II asked.
this fella's clone creased me on the left and hit the bullet proofing on the left shoulder. she's not handlin' weight like she should." Hondo said as he repositioned to grab Derrick with his right.
"I was meaning to ask how that went." Alex II said.
"you can see for yourself on the other side of the van." Hondo said. They threw Derrick in the trunk and walked around the side of the van.
"What a mess." Alex II said as he looked on Derricks clone.
"He left me no choice." Hondo said.
"Good shooting, though. I'll call some of our boys to clean this up." Alex II said.
"OK. You need to get back to the ship." Hondo said.
"You too." Alex II said.
"nope. I'm stayin' here till this is done. I think we will have more work to do. Besides this was too easy, somethin's not right." Hondo said.
"I agree with you there." Alex II said.
"Drop me off at the ambulance; then get to RR's ship as fast as possible." Hondo said.
"Now look here! I am in Command not you!" Alex II said.
"Shut up and get movin'! We don't have time to argue. either drop me off at the ambulance or get goin' and I'll walk." Hondo growled.
"OK, get in." Alex II said.
*I hope this guy really knows what he is getting into." Alex II thought.
*somethin's up.* Hondo thought. *I have a feelin' ol'Al is in for more then he thinks he is. He needs Fernando back to boss him around a little. Why do I still feel that he is not dead?*

Fernando tries to contact Hondo with no success, and wonders about the others. Thus he takes his stroll up on to the rear of the deck. Watching him going through the various halls within the ship is Dr. Aiesha, who decides to follow him. Once at the rear of the ship, Fernando looks out to the sea. Dr. Aiesha approaches him from behind.
Fernando: You could have called out, you know.
Dr. Aiesha: How did...(Fernando points to his glasses) oh, nevermind. Whats bothering you?
Fernando: Nothing really. Just pre/post mission jitters. Hows the medical ward treating you?
Dr. Aiesha: Well...
Fernando: If you need me to pull rank, I'll get them keel-hauled for you.
Dr. Aiesha: Its not that, the staff is great and suppportive. Its that I'm not sure what to do.
Fernando: Well, this problem is two fold. First part of short and long term psychological care and deprogramming of their killer instincts. I've already started on this, but am afraid that if they start defending themselves in this rescue mission, those killing instincts can kick back in and all the deprogramming I have started will be for not.
Dr. Aiesha: I see. Whats the second part?
Fernando: These are prepubescent girls. Within I guess a year or two, they will hit puberty, and undergo through those changes. I seriously doubt the cybernetic implants are not compatible. So they must be removed or made compatible...somehow.
Dr. Aiesha: Intersting. I dont think anyone has ever thought about that.
Fernando: Research is starting now on that with child amputees. No one really gave it any thought until now, and you will have this little group to look over and research.
Dr. Aiesha: Thats a long term project.
Fernando: One you can lead in.
Dr. Aiesha: I'm going to need to think about that.
Fernando: Dont think, do.
Dr. Aiesha: Hmmm...
A red haired squirrel approaches them from behind. Fernando still looks out to the sea, his back to anyone who would approach him.
Tammy: You're new here... I seen your plane land earlier today.
Dr. Aiesha: Yeah, I was sort of drafted at the last minute.
Tammy: Wait a minute- I know you.
Dr. Aiesha: What would you make say that?
Tammy: You're that squirrelly doctor at Roosevelt Hospital...
Fernando: You make sound like ita a bad thing.
Tammy: Fernando?
Fernando slowly turns around to face her.
Fernando: Who else would be?
Tammy stares at him, unsure how to respond, though she probably has thousand questions to ask.

RangerReady23
- - - - -  
*Walking down a narrow corridor on C Deck, RangerReady ponders the happenings of the past several days. The lights overhead are dimmed in accordance with third watch, and the few crewmembers on night duty nod in greeting as he passes them by, his steps taking him invariably to the VIP cabin. Noticing that the door is closed, he knocks softly. It takes a moment, but a sleepy voice answers from inside.*
"Coming!"
*The hatch door clatters open a few seconds later, as Rose finishes smoothing her sleep-matted hair with one hand.*
"Well, you're up late, Captain sir. But then, that's nothing new."
"Can I come in? We need to talk."
Stepping across the threshold, RR immediately sticks a small, blinking device to the inside of the door, as it closes.*
"What's that?"
"Sound dampener. We've got operatives on this ship, still, and I don't want them listening in."
*Rose's eyes widen, as she pulls several chairs around the small dinette table.*
"I thought this mission was almost over!"
"Far from it. I think we're just hitting the tip of the iceberg...Donnelly's project was rooted deep. Too deep, for my liking."
"I figured most of it would fall into disarray by now, what with Fernando killing him and all."
"I'm not convinced he did."
*Rose has just started to pour herself a soda from the small refrigerator, and abruptly spills it.*
"What!"
"Rosie, what I'm about to tell you is highly privileged information. At least, so I'm told."
"Well, the last time I checked, you did have me listed with a captain's security clearance."
*The sarcasm in her voice doesn't escape RR's notice, and he chuckles.*
"Touche. You might want to sit down, for this one."
"Why do I get the feeling that we're about to get into trouble again?"
"Because we just might. Fernando's alive."
"Oh, that! I knew that hours ago."
*It's RangerReady's turn to be surprised, as her green-blue eyes sparkle with amusement in the low light.*
"I'm not going to ask how...because I probably wouldn't want to know, would I?"
"Oh come on, Charlie, it's nothing so sinister. I may just be a little country girl...but I am observant."
"That you are, cute stuff. That you are."
*Reaching into the satchel that hangs from his shoulder, RR draws out a bundle, wrapped in soft, oiled cloth.*
"You might need these. I had them sent up by courier."
*Placing the package onto the table, he unwraps it, revealing a matched pair of softly glowing, nickel-plated Peacemaker revolvers. Smiling, she fingers the finely tooled leather belt fondly.*
"I was hoping you'd remember. If I'm going to be armed, I'd like it to be with old friends!"
"Now there's a sentiment I can understand! At any rate, keep what I said to yourself...because I think there's still more going on under the surface here than meets the eye. We need to be ready. Now then, I'm going to go and ferret out some spies."

Hondo gets out of the van, waves to the girls, and gets in the ambulance. He looked for his Palm pilot but found the screen smashed.
* must have done that in the fight earlier.* He thought. Hondo wired it into the ambulances computer and used the on board screen. the only problem with that was it now was only voice command and the e-mail and voice command would not run at the same time.
"Piece of junk!" he snarled. He duct taped it to the dash in case he needs the other features later.
*now I'm limited in comunicatin' with the others.* he though. He looked over at the passengers seat. there lay the radio Fernando had given him to use to communicate to him with. Hondo didn't know why, but he felt an urge to turn it on and leave it on.
*They can't trace me with it, so might as well.* he thought. He turned it on and laid it back on the seat.
*well, here we go again.* He thought as he headed back to his safe hidden spot that was 5 miles from the air port.
*Maybe I can catch a nap a'fore anythin' else happens.* Hondo thought. *Isn't likely!*

What time of day and which day is this?
As in, Night time of the day where Bink and Claes were caught in Angelica's hospital room...
[/OOC]

Bink and Claes saw Angelica this morning. It is currently night time or almost night time.
OOC: I am currently editing what has been written so far to make it easily readable while trying to remain true to what the writers wrote. I am approximately 1/3 of the way through of the already written work and I have forty-four pages. Actual page count will vary according to the wordprocessor, printer and settings used.

[Flashback=From a few seconds ago]
Fernando slowly turns around to face her.
Fernando: Who else would be?
Tammy stares at him, unsure how to respond, though she probably has thousand questions to ask.
[/Flashback]
Fernando turns to Aiesha.
Fernando: If I knew that this would be everyone's reactions, I would have stayed asleep in bed.
Dr. Aiesha: Daddy... stop being mean. Everyone's upset because they think you've died.
Fernando (Not wanting to answer his daughter, goes over to Tammy): Tammy, snap out of it.
Tammy does not respond, at least for now. Fernando holds her by the shouder, and lightly tap her on the face. Eventaully she does snap out of itt.
Tammy: It cant be you. I was told you were killed...
Fernando: Dont believe everything that you hear. Dont even believe that you even saw a body in a coffin, Tammy. This is a dangerous game that we are playing, and I play to win.
Dr. Aiesha: When you play to win, you often have to change the rules.
Fernando: Aiesha...
Dr. Aiesha: I was just stating a fact.
Fernando: It was unneccessary.
Dr. Aiesha does not respond.
Tammy (trying to clam down): So what happened?
Fernando: Look, I cant say right now. Too many are listening, and even more want who would prefer that we fail. So we must make them think that I am still dead.
Tammy: But...
Fernando: No buts... I brought my doctor daughter to help out with the girls and we got to get them here. Right now I got to find Jeanette and a couple of others to keep this mission on track.
Tammy: I think she is in her room.
Fernando: Its almost dinner time, get her to bring DOS and Sincliar to the mess hall, where they will meet with Dr. Aiesha. I will meet up with you all later.
Tammy: Anything I should know?
Fernando: Just be ready for anything. Now go...
Tammy slowly leaves.
Dr. Aiesha: You cn be such a meanie head, you know...
Fernando: Meanie head? How old are you again?
--------------------------------------------------
DOS & Arik

[quote="Fernando"]
Dr. Aiesha: You cn be such a meanie head, you know...
Fernando: Meanie head? How old are you again?
[\quote]
OOC: You had DOS call you a meanie head though she is technically an adult. Other than DOS looks like a child, where's the difference?
--------------------------------------------------
Fernando
- - - - -  
A few more words are exchanged, and everyone leaves to where they would prefer to be; Fernando goes to the gallery and gathers up a Roast Beef and Swiss Cheese on a Kaiser Roll (double the meat). He takes the the sandwich back to the stern of the ship. Looking out, he muches away on one of the cut halfs.
Once done, he takes out his tiny hand-held 2-way radio, and tries to call Hondo. At 3 watts, and a couple of hundred miles at sea, the possibility of the radio signal reaching Hondo is very remote. At best, Hondo would recieve a signal that was more static than anything else.
With no reply after a couple of minutes, Fernando puts away his radio and continues munching on the other 1/2 of his sandwich. Unfortunately, the sandwhich had gotten cold while he ate the first 1/2 and used the radio. He eats it anyway.
--------------------------------------------------
Hondo I. Sackett
- - - - -  
Hondo was woken up by a crackling of his radio.
*what in the world?* He thought. *I don't even know why I turned it on. It has so little power, but someone may be trin' to contact me. Alex II knows I have it and knows the frequency, and maybe RR knows as well. I'm not sure if Fernando told him before he died. Or is he dead? Oh, dawg gone it! I'll never sleep now!* Hondo got up out of the stretcher he was sleeping on and grabbed the radio.
*I have an idea.* He though. He grabbed an old glass tube type CB he had found in the basement of the hideout and had stashed aboard. He rewired it and hooked the radio to it.
*an old trick my grandfather showed me.* He grinned to himself as he powered it up. *When he lived in Maine he could talk to Pedro in Mexico city and Eskimo Bill in Alaska. Maybe I can pick up RR's ship and find out if anythin' big is goin' on there.* He was satisfied with his work, but still tired. Hondo turned it on to the radio frequency Fernando had originally gave him and laid back down on the stretcher. *Now if they need me, they can call me, and it is not too far. Probable wait again until I just fall asleep. 7 hours sleep in 4 days. could be worse I reckon.* With that in mind Hondo closed his eyes and drifted back to sleep.
--------------------------------------------------
Fernando
- - - - -  
Tammy gathered the others onto a table on the side of the gallery for dinner meeting. DOS does not select anything, sits down with them. Amoung the group, there was an errie quiet settled on them. Not wanting to answer anyone, Tammy dives into her meal. Eventually, Jeanette decides to take charge and asks a question.
Jeanette: Tammy, why did you bring us to this meeting?
Tammy just glances upwards to Jeanette before stuffing her face with a forkful of pasta with Afredo Sauce. From behind, somebody puts a bowl of ice cream in front of DOS, then continues to walk behind the others and sits next to Dr. Aiesha.
DOS: HEY!
Fernando (as he sits down): Its not like you can not eat, you just dont want too. If you want to consider yourself alive you will need to enjoy some of life's treats.
Everyone stares at Fernando, except for Dr. Aiesha and Tammy; Tammy prefers to stare down at her meal.
Fernando: What are you guys looking at?
Jeanette: You're reported to have been killed...
Fernando (interupting her): First, lets keep that little fact to ourselves. Second, to some this is a game, and a person's life is no better than a pawn on the checkered board. Your life is no better than a pawn on a checkerboard; mine has already been sacrificed for this mission. So in short, what I'm trying to say is we need to put an end to this game as quickly as possible, and at the same time, play to win.
Jeanette: How do you propose to do that?
Fernando: Again Jeanette- to have you lead. I went out to take care of a larger target, but found a more obsticles in the way. Now, I dont want to hear that you can not do something due to fears or irrational ideas. You have options here. I brought in one more.
Jeanette: I'm not flying...
Fernando slaps the table hard with his left hand, denting it where he hit it. It rings almost like a bell.
Fernando (almost yelling): You have options... why do you think DOS and Sinclair are here?
Jeanette just stares at him, as does most of the crew enjoying their meals.
Fernando: Leaders lead by example. Not by sitting scared in some office and dish out orders from behind a desk.
Dr. Aiesha: Daddy...?
Fernando: I know... not only have I dented the table, I've also broken several bones doing it.
Fernando claws the skin on the back of his wrist, making it taut and lifting it to put on his lap.
Jeanette: I'll go get the first aide kit.
Fernando: Leave that chair and I'll guarentee you wont make it out that door.
Jeanette: I'm not going to take threats lightly...
Fernando: Its not a threat- right now as we speak, several spies on this ship are aware of your presence on this ship. They think I'm somebody else, but are willing to take you out as soon as they can. Soon can be now if you walk out of here, so I advise you to sit and stay right where you are. I have a lot to say.
Jeanette: I think I want out of this then.
Fernando: If it were so easy to have done so, I would have done it a long time ago. Now lets get back to this rescue operation, because this it what it is- a rescue.
Sinclair: Are you going to need our services?
Fernando (looking at Jeanette): Yes, as pilots. Be ready at the crack of Dawn, your LJ-60 will be ready for an early morning launch.
Sinclair: Destination?
Fernando: To be determined.
DOS: Why?
Fernando: Hondo and Alex II have lost themselves onto personal engagements within the missions and it needs to be put to an end. But I have to get their locations first; I'l lbe doing that all night.
Dr. Aiesha: What about the rest of us?
Fernando: Everyone has their place here, their respective duties to fulfill. I expect no one to go against orders or jepordise the mission. Everything is as of it was when we started; except Jeanette is leading now.
Jeanette: What about you?
Fernando (pulling a couple of report folders from his laptop bag): I have to run independent. There is a lot more to this mission that meets the eye.
Fernando hands the folder to Jeanette, Dr. Aiesha, and DOS. Each cover has the title "D.A.R.Y.L Data Acquiring Roving Youth Lifeform"
Dr. Aiesha: What is this?
Fernando: It is all the information about Daryl, the first cyborg known to have been built in 1985. The report starts from theory, construction, programming, accidental release, supposed destruction, program shutdown, and medical records.
A tall squirrel in his early to mid 30's walks over to the their table.
Tall squirrel: Is there room for one more?
Fernando: Grab a seat and join us... Daryl.
Everyone turn to face him, not believing what they have just heard.
Fernando: Everyone, this is Daryl. Daryl, this is... (as he points them out), DOS, Sinclair, Tammy, Jeanette Isabelle, and Dr. Aiesha. Daryl has been here waiting for me to make myself known to him, since he is a cyborg, he is a cyborg specailist. believe me, finding him was an impossibility...
Daryl: Like you had taught me, hide in plain sight.
Dr. Aiesha: To what extent will he be working with us?
Daryl: I believe that I will be with the team to the cyborgs' recovery and then assist you on their medical needs.
Dr. Aiesha: What extent does your plants involve?
Fernando: You should not ask that froma cyborg.
Daryl: Its OK, Fernando. Dr. Aiesha- my entire brain is a 3D computational construct with over 100 terabyte of solid state storage and 101.7 TFlops/sec operation, connected to the upper spinal cord to interface to the body. It is is programmed with a model of a real brain and function, and has a tiny nuclear battery to keep it running almost indefinately. The rest of me is untouched.
Dr. Aiesha: An entire brain? Weren't you alive once?
Daryl: That part of my past is unknown to me.
Fernando: There are other cyborgs, but Daryl is closest to what I have naturally.
Tammy (finally gets into the conversation): You?
Fernando: Thanks to a nucleotide gene flip, I have Silver in my nerves and other parts of my body instead of Potasium, Sodium and metalic elements. Thats why I can do certain things that almost impossible for others, and yet I'm vulernable to other things...
Tammy just stares back at him.
Fernando: Look, I'm not a monster. Just different.
Jeanette (pointing at the dent on the table): You act like it at times.
Fernando: No, that was a guy thing... letting pent up anger to escape.
Jeanette: Whats the difference?
Fernando: Lets not get into that. We have a mission to finish... Either lead, follow or get out of the way. Problem is, two of those options were deleted, leaving you with one.
Jeanette: Pray tell which one is that?
Fernando: Lead. I will advise and assist while I continue other parts of the mission.
Back on the Carolina, the ship's crew went into automatic pilot mode as they went about to rescue the fallen couple. They find the admiral, dead, but somehow holding onto the ship's rudder. They haul up the body and take it to their medical bay for an autopsy later.
Over a day has past, the chef medical officer comes back to identify and autopsy the body, but find a ripped open body bag inside the cedavier drawer.

*Aboard the carrier USS Enterprise, the night passes slowly, but uneventfully, the great ship rocking gently at anchor as those few sailors that pull night shift duty traverse the decks, carrying out their tasks with long practiced ease of skill. From the railings, running lights shine out across the water, scanning the perimeter around the vessel for any sign of treachery or assault.*
"One o'clock, an' alllllll's welllll!"
"Quiet, nutsy! You wanna wake up the whole ship?"
*Chuckling, RangerReady watches the antics of his two feathered watchmen with amusement. Traveling back to the bridge, he burrows down comfortably in the captain's chair, and tips his white and gold hat down over his eyes.*
"Wake me if anything eventful happens, Lieutenant."
"Aye-aye, sir."
*Dozing slightly, RR goes over the events of the past several days in his mind, almost unconsciously. The battle of wills with his former superior has left him puzzled, wondering what could have possessed an officer like Donnelly, and undoubtedly those under him, to partake in such a plot. The admiral's cybernetics involvement has only deepened the mystery, the threads of which scatter themselves into the winds, and refuse to come together.*
"Condition yellow! Sickbay, full alert! Condition yellow!"
*Snapping to full alertness, RR leaps up from the center seat, positioning himself over the navigator's shoulder in mere seconds.*
"What've we got?"
"Body in the water, Captain. Crewman overboard, looks like!"
"Alive?"
"As far as they can tell. Well have her aboard in a minute."
"Her?"
*Suspicion edging at the corners of his mind, the captain takes the nearest stairwell onto the flight deck, and stands impassively as the ship's medical team slowly lower the still form to the deck. Enterprise's CMO, Doctor Nymbala, examines the injured crewman with interest. The fruit bat answers RR's unspoken question without being asked.*
"Hmm...tigress. Not many of dese in de fleet, eh mon?"
"Not many, at all. Come to think of it, I only know of one."
"Ol' Cap'n Eddie's friend?"
"You got it. How is she?"
*A rough cough sounds as the tiger sits up, spitting out a mouthful of water.*
"Lousy, but I'll live. Lieutenant-Commander Amanda Hasegawa, reporting, sir."
"Good to meet you, Commander...although I do wish it was under less mysterious circumstances. Mind letting me in on why you decided to take a midnight swim?"
*Her face contorts into a snarl, as memory begins to slowly return.*
"You tell me. The last I remember, someone put a wrench to my head, and here I am."
"You got a pretty good concussion dere, girl. Come down to me office, I says. We fix dat right up!"
*Watching the doctor lead the new arrival belowdecks, RangerReady returns to the railing, staring out across the darkened deep. Something is stirring, and he can feel in the back of his mind that the plot is about to take a twist, somewhere or other....but where? Settling himself against the barrier, he breathes in a lungful of fresh sea air, and lets his eyes adjust to the starlight.*
"Oh Lord...."
*Off the port bow, the North Carolina is proceeding at full steam, making her way on a reverse course, and already operating on a considerable head start, having already grown small on the horizon.*
"Red alert! All hands, shift your carcases on deck! Condition red! Move it!"

*The captain's alert travels over the ship like lightning. Rose is startled awake and, falling out of bed, hits the floor with a soft thunk!*
"RRgggghh! Charlie! Can't you ever go to sleep at a decent hour?" she shouts. Assuming he is waking her up to talk again.
*As her head clears, she realizes he is not outside her door.....*
"It's happened" she says to herself.
*Flinging on some clothes, Rose grabs her gun belt off the chair by the door and goes running up to the deck*
"Charlie! Charlie, Charlie!!! What's going on!?" she asks, nearly colliding with RR.
*He quickly briefs her on the situation and points to the retreating ship.*
"You mean somebody stole the North Carolina? Blast them!!" *A natural hothead, she begins shouting insults at the retreating ship*
*Rosie quickly begins ramming bullets into the chambers of her Peacemakers. This time not bothering to leave the hammer chamber empty*

When the ship was put on red alert, a small monitoring device sent a signal via protocol 7; a simple signal, it just said, in effect, "Red Alert Activated".
A moment later, a green wireframe outline appeared on the deck, swiftly filling out to become a bat. Trying not to get in anyone's way, it hurried to the Captain's cabin and knocked on the door.

[DELETED]
OOC: The current rescue mission is going way too easy. Rico and Triela are conditioned, highly trained assassins who to different degrees are devoted to their handlers. Jean treated Rico like a tool rather than a person so it would be nothing for him to leave behind his "tool" if it was in his best interest. That plus the fact she is the only one who still remembers her previous life would make it plausible though not highly likely for her to turn on the SWA. Until that happens, Rico will take a bullet for Jean. However being left behind like a tool may cause some emotional problems for her that we as writers need to address.
Hilshire, Triela's handler, on the other hand doesn't even know himself what he thinks. His indecisiveness may lead to Triela second guessing this whole thing but she would rather be with Hilshire than be rescued by us. I did not include him in "Gunslinger Bink" but in Gunslinger Girl, Mario, an ex mafia boss, was the only adult who was truly nice to Triela. If she is to be rescued, it may help if Mario is involved.
Writing in Mario may change the direction of the current rescue mission but it would make it more real. Let me know what you think.

[quote="DOS & Arik"]
Triela tries to rationalize what is happening and what's she doing. This goes against her conditioning in just about every way. Her devotion is to Hilshire first, the other cyborgs come second. She shouldn't even be in this van. The only thing keeping her from killing Alex II and Hondo is the fact they are taking Angelica to a hospital. Triela can only wonder what Rico is going through. Unlike herself, Rico actually has parents who are alive and has seen how Jean treats Rico.Triela thinks it's not that unreasonable for Rico to turn. All that Triela knows is that she is from Amsterdam. Hilshire, who has actually treated her decently, and the other cyborgs are all that she has, one of whom is dying. Her conditioning says she needs to be with her handler, he comes first but her friends need her help right now. In the van Triela does her best to convince herself that she is doing the right thing but her conditioning says otherwise.

Hondo is not in the van anymore. I was dropped off after a few miles.

Severe Weather Eddie
- - - - -  
The North Carolina had only steamed away a few miles when all of the sudden she stopped. Her lights flickered and died. Five minutes passed...then ten, then fifteen. Meanwhile, the USS Texas had turned to pursue Carolina..
After 20 minutes, Carolina's lights came back on and she slowly came about. Her signal light flashed.
"Thorpe and company in brig." A recognition code was flashed as well. On Enterprise, Ms. Hasegawa saw the code and smirked.
"It is legitimate, Captain Ready. My memory is returning now...Captain Thorpe and his men slipped out of the CIC once they had fully realized that they were no longer in control of the ship. I expect that Thorpe dispatched armed men to key stations to enforce his orders. Fortunately, I took the liberty of flooding the ship's magazines. All of the propellant for the main guns is now useless."
The tigress stood up, shakily. "A message to that effect needs to be sent to the Texas."
Meanwhile, Texas caught up to and came alongside the smaller battleship. It appeared that a small skirmish had been fought on her decks, Eddie thought.
"Ahoy, Texas!" a voice carried across the waters. "We've got some troublemakers we want to transfer to you!"
Eddie stepped out onto the bridge wing of his command. "Who's that?" he called.
"Lieutenant Commander James McMann, assistant chief engineer and acting captain! Thorpe got loose and caused some trouble before we rounded him up!"
"Match their speed and throw a line over," Eddie instructed the officer of the deck (OOD). "And get a squad of the ship's marines up here to make sure there's no surprises."
Several minutes later, the two battleships were steaming 50 feet apart, with lines between the two. Several handcuffed men were being loaded into a basket for transfer to the Texas. Eddie was personally down there to "greet" them when they arrived.
"Normally I'd welcome you aboard my ship, but in this case you're anything but welcome," Eddie said as the traitors were brought aboard. "How you thought you could effectively commandeer a battleship is beyond me."
"Dixon!" Thorpe spat. "You'll pay for this! You disobeyed your orders!"
"Really?" Eddie asked in a half-amused tone. "You're a fine one to talk, seein' as how you've already lost your commission and are facing court-martial. For treason."
"If you'd sunk Enterprise, none of that would matter!"
"Buddy, I ain't gonna go around sinking historical American warships--or ANY American warships--just because some admiral has a personal vendetta. An admiral that's now dead, by the way."
Eddie turned to the Marines.
"Boys, take these men to the brig. Put them in separate cells as far apart from each other as possible, and guard them round the clock. And if any of 'em make the slightest move to escape, shoot 'em. I won't have traitors loose on MY ship."
"Yessir!"
As he was lead away, Thorpe yelled back, "You'll pay for this Dixon! You messed with the wrong people! I'll see your career ruined! Enjoy your last cruise!"
"Oh, shut up and stuff it in yer windsock! I've heard better vengeance threats than that!"
As Eddie turned back to survey North Carolina, a crewman ran up to him.
"Message for you sir, from the Enterprise. They hauled a Commander* Hasegawa aboard, sir."
"Let me see that."
Eddie accepted the note from the crewman and read it.
"TO USS TEXAS: COMMANDER HASEGAWA PULLED FROM OCEAN. SHE REQUESTS TO MEET WITH YOU. SHE SAYS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW NORTH CAROLINA'S MAGAZINES HAVE BEEN FLOODED. THORPE ESCAPED THE CIC."
"Alright, I'll be in the radio shack in a moment. Tell them to get ready to send a reply back to Enterprise. And get ready for another personnel transfer."
"Aye, sir."
 
[i]*OOC: Actually, I recently promoted Ms. Hasegawa, since I believe the position as gunnery officer on a battleship rates at least a Commander (O-5) grade. Anyway, she's now a Commander, proudly wearing gold oak leaf clusters (I think they're oak leafs...) instead of silver ones.

Hondo had a short nap, but could not rest with the present unrest. He messed with the palm pilot and managed to get a short message out to the Enterprise. He let them know his present location( 5 miles west of Milan airport) and told them he was moving out, destination not not yet certain. He ended up moving the ambulance closer to town to another hidden spot and borrowing a pick-up, from a local dealer who was closed until further notice. He 'borrowed' a 4-wheel drive 1 ton Dodge cummins diesel duly w/extended cab.
*nice ride, good speed and the price is right.* he thought *never knew there were dodges here, though. must have been a special order.*
He took it back to the ambulance and collected his gear, radio, radio amplifier, weapons, and a few other things he thought he might need. he had retrieved his foldable helicopter before he got to town, and left it in the back of the ambulance. Hondo then drove the ambulance back to the hideout, parked it in the garage and locked up. he flew the helicopter to the truck, folded it in the back of the truck, and covered it with a tarp to keep suspicion low.
He then drove out of town and headed for the coast.
He was in the middle of singing the third verse of 'bury me out on the lone prairie' when his radio came to life.
"Hondo, this is Enterprise, do you copy? Over." Came the voice of the radio operator over Hondo's rigged CB/two way.
"Enterprise, this is Hondo. What'd y'want!" Hondo said.

Fernando

Dr. Aiesha and Daryl were in the infirmary as the activity went on around them; the ship's doctor and the captain taking care of their new visitor. Soon the doctor, captain and visitor leaves after the visitor is treated for her injuries.
Dr. Aiesha (as she checks and rechecks the equipment for the cyborgs): You got any of that?
Daryl: All of it. Want it as an mp3 download?
Dr. Aiesha (staring at Daryl in a confused manner): Just hold onto that, please.
Daryl: Will do.
They continue setting up the equipment, and preparing for their worst case: Angelina.
Once things has quieted down, Tammy approaches Fernando's door, knocking on it. Not wanting to, Fernando takes his time getting out of bed and opens the door.
Fernando (as he looks at her): Yes?
Tammy (as she walks into his room): Can I have a minute with you?
Fernando (as he turns on the lights to his room, then reaches for his glasses): Sure... whats on your mind?
Tammy: Many things are on my mind...
Fernando (interupting her): Start counting them off.
Tammy: First off, why are you giving leadership to Jeanette? You are more capable than most here.
Fernando: This mission has to be divided into 2 fronts. 1- rescue Bink and the girls. 2- make sure that no other faction, group or agency is going to interfere with the rescue and going home. I cant do both at the sametime.
Tammy: Why Jeanette?
Fernando: Because she is my medical rescue partner. Why, you have doubts about her?
Tammy: I dont think she's capable of doing what needs to be done.
Fernando: She can hold out on her own pretty well.
Tammy: She does not act like she could.
Fernando: Dont let that fool you. She is more than capable.
Tammy: Why dont you take over?
Fernando: Why do you want me to?
Tammy: Consider it to be selfish, but I dont care about the others being saved. I just want Bink back, and am willing to pay any price for her.
Fernando: Dont ever say that you'll pay any price, because when you do, you just might end up doing so.
Tammy: I'm at that point now...
Fernando (interupting her): Does it matter what needs to be done in order to save Bink? I mean, I had to rescue you too because others tried to collect on that reward on your bushy tail of yours.
Tammy: You saved me in less time than those who were going to come in to pay that reward. Then you managed to get Bink, along with another girl... as far as I was concerened that should have been the end of that.
Fernando: But yet, Bink and Claes left... to find Angelica and the others. Furthermore, their handlers and others involved with them are still a danger to Bink, the girls and to us. You really think that, lets supposed that we did take Bink home, that they would let you live long enough to be happy with Bink unmolested? No... They would have waited for a while, to observe you and Bink and then one day- you'd be found dead and Bink missing. That is what I am trying to stop, because the people we are dealing with are not nice people! Understand where I am coming from?!!
Tammy sits down on the edge of the bed, putting her folded hands between her knees, and looks down at the floor. She does not answer.
Fernando: So if you are so willing to pay any price, deary... be prepared to pay with your life, soul and body. But dont expect me to demand payment... regardless of what others may think of me, I do have some very high morals I strictly adhere to. Its that those morals may not be compatible with anyone elses. So my mind is clear on this- Jeanette's leading the rescue while I deal with the threats that can spring up. There will be no further discussions on this.
Tammy (holding back her tears): I understand.
Fernando: Good. Now I need you to leave so I can catch up on my sleep... alone!
Tammy leaves the room, eventually, having this all sunk in, whether she liked it or not. Fernando did not have much time to sleep, and needs to later go to the radio and mission rooms to gather some intell.

Tammy gathered the others onto a table on the side of the gallery for dinner meeting. DOS does not select anything, sits down with them. Amoung the group, there was an errie quiet settled on them. Not wanting to answer anyone, Tammy dives into her meal. Eventually, Jeanette decides to take charge and asks a question.
Jeanette: Tammy, why did you bring us to this meeting?
Tammy just glances upwards to Jeanette before stuffing her face with a forkful of pasta with Afredo Sauce. From behind, somebody puts a bowl of ice cream in front of DOS, then continues to walk behind the others and sits next to Dr. Aiesha.
DOS: HEY!
Fernando (as he sits down): Its not like you can not eat, you just dont want too. If you want to consider yourself alive you will need to enjoy some of life's treats.
[\quote]
Jeanette gets up, takes away the ice cream from DOS and calls out, "Salad for DOS, light on the dressing." Jeanette turns to Fernando. "DOS has a physical manifestation. She needs to take care of her body."
[quote="Fernando"]
Everyone stares at Fernando, except for Dr. Aiesha and Tammy; Tammy prefers to stare down at her meal.
Fernando: What are you guys looking at?
Jeanette: You're reported to have been killed...
Fernando (interupting her): First, lets keep that little fact to ourselves. Second, to some this is a game, and a person's life is no better than a pawn on the checkered board. Your life is no better than a pawn on a checkerboard; mine has already been sacrificed for this mission. So in short, what I'm trying to say is we need to put an end to this game as quickly as possible, and at the same time, play to win.
Jeanette: How do you propose to do that?
Fernando: Again Jeanette- to have you lead. I went out to take care of a larger target. . . .
[\quote]
Jeanette was very matter of fact with Fernando. "No. You bailed out because you were angry and spinning it to where, of the two of us, you are taking the moral high ground. You say I've changed without taking a look at your self. I may be a control freak when it comes to round robins and I am afraid to fly a plane, hence why I wanted to be in the passenger section in the first place, but I am not out to manipulate other people nor am I using my fear of piloting to manipulate. Before you say 'Let me remove that speck of fear in your eye,' I suggest you remove the log of anger in your own eye."

We may have to put this project on hold. Jeanette was misrepresented and wants me to make corrections in "Gunslinger Bink: Edited Edition" which would mean a lot of major rewrites which could in turn affect our current status. A hold on the project would mean less I would have to rewrite. I do not look forward to major rewrites. That is a lot of work so I'm not going to just jump into this. I need feedback. Also, has anyone else been misrepresented by other writers?

How can you say that when every post you made here was to counteract everything that he has written here that made you and anyone else look good? This is not about your or your fears, but as a character doing good even though you may not do these things in real life.
I am not be a real doctor yet in real life, but I am in this story. You need to learn how to separate fantasy from reality, or psychologically speaking- your world will crash around you again when what you believe to be real falls apart and you have nothing to hold on to but yourself.
Fernando does not need to manipulate anyone into anything, especially when there are so many willing to do so, and do it without your realization. I may not be privy to what he has done during his cloak and dagger days, but knowing the person who my father is, I am sure that he is more capable of actually manipulating anyone he so pleases better than anything Ian Flemming had ever written.

I don't understand why there was an argument in the first place. I think Jeanette was quite clear in her character profile: "I continue to learn about aviation though I have never stepped foot onto anything smaller than a commercial jetliner since the crash; I will not step foot into a cockpit again."
Could that have been made even more clear? Well, I don't know. Either way, we have a character profile thread for a reason. Writers, please read it.

Considering that her character post was made long after the orginal post of having her flying, this point is moot. Like I said, as a leader, she has options. I pointed out those options. If she wants power and glory without responsibility, then so be it, the post to follow will have her in more trouble than that destroyer captain that shot down the civilian Airbus 320 back in the first Gulf War.
So in following, since I can't control the actions of others, then so be it. Let the story continue.

OCC: Come on folks! grow up a little. If we all wrote in perfect context with or life history or with our fears we would not go far, because you don't change history or fears without actually doin' somethin'!
I try to write close to my person, but granted, my character is better than myself. I also have never killed anyone. I would in a New yorker minute if my friends( the very few there are) and/or family was threatened, believe you me. I also can't legally fly yet, I don't own all the weapons I talk about(only about half). I also like bein' on roofs, but I am a little scared of heights. I could not jump off a two story buildin' without a dang good reason. (now a day, maybe one story, but . . .) I am a good shot, I dress the same , talk the same, but until I'm put , in life, through a situation like that, that is not me! So quite the whinin'! So what, J.I., you may never step in a cockpit again. That is your problem, but your character steppin' into a cockpit is not a crime against you. Maybe I should throw a fit too! Fernando implied that I liked roast beef, I DON'T. I have eaten so much of the stuff, I now only like it burnt. I am a hamburger eater.
RR said, he was taken out of character when it was written that he shouted at a friend. Well he doesn't know for sure, under stress of that soart that he wouldn't. Big deal. I sing falsetto every once in a while, that might not be my usual character, but you don't always act the same as usual in real life!!
So before this ventin' of my frustrations turns into a novel, let's all us just settle down, grow up, except different things, play nice, stop poutin', etc.
I am tryin' to take this all serious like, but this is horse manure.
Folks, We need to stop gettin' bent out of shap at little things and move on!
And I want to also say, that I appreciate Fernando's directin' this here mission. We might not be pals, but I have a respect for him out of this. I have enjoyed this, and would it was real and Fernando lead it the same. But this is puttin' a damper on it for everyone1 so let's get back to it and enjoy to the end.
One last thing. Even if someone took me out of context, I would PM them, not make a deal out of it in front of everyone. Little things I'd just ignore, because why hurt someones feelin's or angrer them over a little detail? If we all thought of the other person first this would not happen.
oK. I'm done for now. I'll step off my soap box. Let's just all be friends and get to 'er!

As game master of this round robin I have made some decisions. The part where Jeanette co-piloted the 737 from America to Italy will stand. The part where Jeanette removed Fernando's protective eye wear, causing him to go temporarily blind, will stand as well.
All arguments over Jeanette stepping in the cockpit again and leading is non cannon. Everyone, carry on as if those arguments never occurred. This may mean that we may have to go back to July 20 on page 31, before this current mess started, and restart from there. That would mean that Jeanette never threw Tammy overboard, and Fernando never killed the admiral.
Here is the last post made we will be working with:
[quote="Hondo I. Sackett"]
Hondo was a little unsure what to do.
*guns blazin' will not work here again!* he thought.
"Well, I need to let Fernando know what's goin' on, then we'll talk." Hondo said as he pulled out his palm pilot.
"Fernando is not coming to help?" Claes asked.
"He is in enough trouble, now. You two leavin' will not help him any." hondo said as he sent a quick message.
"Well the Boss squirrel man should receive that soon. In the mean time, what are we goin' to do?" Hondo said out loud to no one, but more to hear himself.
"We have to convince Rico to come with us, save Olga and get angelica out of hear." Bink said.
"But we need a miracle too . . ." Hondo stop short as he heard the whop, whop of a helicopter.
"What that matter?" Claes asked as Hondo eye started to twinkle and a half smile crossed his face.
"I think I hear a Miracle." He said.
"No, thats a Helicopter." Bink said.
"Yes, it is. A medivac Copter at that, with long range tanks. The type of copter that could fly a sick little gunslinger to a ship without harm." Hondo said as his eyes lighted up looking a fiery sapphire blue instead of his usual cold steal blue.
"Time to git dangrous!" he said. "you to can handle Rico and tranq. her handler, right?"
"Yes." they said in unison.
"Without being seen." Claes added
"But can you two convince her to come with us?" Hondo asked.
"I know we can. After what Tammy and Fernando has told us, I know we can convince her that there is a better way to live." Bink said.
"OK, but you two may need weapons." Hondo said. "But can I trust you two to use them only if you have to?" Hondo asked.
"Yes, sir." They said in unison.
"Good, and don't call me sir!" Ho0ndo said. I'll be right back.
Hondo left them and returned in 20 minutes with food and a box.
"Here you two, eat up." Hondo said."Sorry, but I have no new pistols. I only use older models." He gave each of them one of his .36 cal. walsh navy 12 shots and kept the .50 cal. dragoon and the .45 la'matte for himself.
"also for each of you, I brought a bullet proof jacket and a tranquilizer dart pistol and a few pen/darts a piece. Use these if you can, but if you can't then use the pistols." Hondo said. "We'll wait an half an hour, then you two take care of Rico and I'll get Olga then sedate Angela and trick a couple Paramedic into helpin' me get them to the copter. either of you been trained to fly a copter?" He asked.
"Yes, both of us have." Bink said.
"Good! you two have to be to the copter in two and one half hours. I am going to set a few C4 charges to keep them busy when we take off." Hondo said as he gathered his stuff and got ready to leave. "Don't be late!"
"We won't be." Claes said.
Hondo nodded and stepped out the door closing it behind him.
*Here we go again!* he thought as he crept through the night.

OCCShockedk, here we go again. I am movin' a few of my posts that were done after the fact since they do not include any hint to the problem aboard the Enterprise
 
Hondo left to do his work he listen to the girls talk, via a hidden mic.
"Well, Rico is close by, I know, but getting Triela and Olga will be trouble some." said Bink.
"I heard Olga is been captured, so we will need Rico's help." Claes said.
"And we need Olga to talk Triela into coming with us." Bink said. "but it will take hours to get them. We'll just leave Hondo a note."
"Nobody's leaving Hondo a note!" Hondo growled. The girls spun around, pistols in hand. Hondo had turned around an came back as soon as he realized what was going on, and, being lost in thought, neither of the girls heard him answer the door.
"You might as well shoot! Not tellin' me all this definitely is like shootin' me in the back!" Hondo said as he shut the door and sat in a chair in front of them and gazed between the two with a look of steal. They holstered their pistols and and sat down again, they looked at the floor.
"Sorry." They said together.
"Why in tarnation didn't you two tell me, before I left to sign my own death note. . . Don't tell me. . . You thought I would say no, eh?"
"Yes." Bink said. "We didn't mean to put you in danger."
"It is amazing. Two girls as smart as you two, who have proved you can think for yourself, how could you. . . oh never mind. Ok change of plan. You two get Rico and meet me at copter I will have Angelica. Then after you all get to saft I will work on gettin' Olga out. DANG! I could use a good blind Flyin' squirrel, But I'll make do. You two ready?" Hondo said.
"Yes Sir!" They said.
"right, and do not call me sir. Makes me feel . . . old. Let move out than, and oh, by the way. Promise me you two will let me know first next time."
"We promise." They said together.
"Alrighty, then. Let's get this wagon train a movin'!"Hondo said
"What wagon train?" asked Bink.
"just an expression, kid. Let move, now!" Hondo said as they moved quickly out the door to do their separate tasks.
Hondo places a few explosives around the Hospital, but not in the Hospital itself. He saw walked behind the Girls a good ways off until they were out of the open, then continued his work. Hondo set most of the charges to go off at a single frequency, but a few a a different one to insure he got out with the ambulance. They had lost time earlier so the girls only had 1 hour and 45 minutes to do their work. Hondo finished up with an hour left. He when to find info on Angelica.
*I need another easy disguise.* He thought.*Ah,ha!* Hondo spied an unused lab coat hanging in a locker room and slipped it over his EMT uniform. With that he went to the nurses station to get the info. He found it fast and nobody noticed him as other sifts, who never usually worked together, were still there as there were not enough staffed per shift to handle this crisis.
After Hondo gathered the info he 'borrowed some meds and equipment they might need, until help arrived. He stashed them aboard the copter, using the excuse to the guards that he was restocking the supplies on board.
*dumb guard. never teach 'um what they really need to know. staff never resupplies copters.* Hondo thought as he returned to the fith floor and Angelica's room.
He read over her charts again as he walked, *This poor kid needs help bad! I'm afraid I'll lose her without medical help, but the other girls will not leave without her.* Hondo walked to a medical cart and pulled out a heavy sedation med.
*good thing she has an I.V.* He thought. He injected the med into the I.V. tube without a problem as Angelica was sleeping, but things were going to smooth.
"Excuse me, sir. What are you doing?" an extremely U.S. type southern accent asked.
*man, that voice is familiar, but who?* Hondo thought.
he had a gun in his right pocket, so he turned around toward the left to hide the movement of his hand that was grabbing the gun. He turned with gun in hand.
A very familiar Red headed mouse stood in front of Hondo. She dropped what she had in her hand and gasped.
"Hondo!" She squeaked.
"Step in, Red, and shut that door quietly!" Hondo hissed. The frightened nurse did as she was told.
"What are you doing here!" she demanded.
"Isn't it obvious!" He snapped.
" But why. . ." She started.
"Don't start that ' of all the Hospitals in all the world' junk." He said.
"You still are mad at me." She stated.
"Well, Red, You don't forget a heart break that easily, especially one that betrays you to his worst enemy, has his family taken prisoner to make him hand himself over, and when he does, he finds out that the one he though was his girl, did the Judas thing then becomes that creeps Girl friend!" Hondo snarled.
"You know I did it to save my brother. We were friends! why can't we get that behind us. I apologized!" Red said.
"We were more than friends, once. never again, Red. I don't trust you, but I need help, and you have seen me." Hondo said.
"Help?" Red asked.
"Yes, I am takin' this little gal with me, and I need you to keep her alive." Hondo said.
"She is on no condition to be moved. you can't take her! I'm getting security!" Red said and turned toward the door. she stopped suddenly as Hondo cocked his .50 cal. Dragoon.
"To many lost there lives last time because of you. I have no qualms about blowin' you away. you will go and help, or got to a lot hotter place!" Hondo said. She turned and looked at Hondo with tears in her eyes.
*The shame I have brought myself. I can not even run from it by leaving the U.S. It followed me in the form I most feared.* She thought. She looked back at the floor and walked over to the sleeping girl and prepared her to leave.
"I hope the other girls are doin' alright." Hondo thought out loud.
"What other girls?" Red asked.
"You'll find out soon enough. just keep quiet. You think I am mean. They will shoot you if you look at then sideways and they take it wrong." Hondo said and turned to the window.
 
Bink and Claes had it easy. Rico's handle had left her at an abandoned apartment to go get food and other supplies before moving out to a better hiding spot a lot further away.
Talking her into joining them was a snap, all they had to say was 'rescue Olga from jail', but getting her to help subdue her handle was not. finally they convince her if they did not tranqu. her handler, the handler and herself would be killed, but if she was gone her handler could escape easier and they would have no evidence to hold her handle on charges until after her handler had made it out of the country. Rico finally gave in to that, but only if she could write a coded note to her handler explaining why she left and the uselessness of following.
*I hope her handler takes her note to heart.* Bink thought. *for all of our sakes.*
The handler came back and they all jump him as soon as he entered the door. He had no time to react. Bink had the Handler out with a tranqu. pen. and was ready to leave in seconds. Rico put the note in her handlers pocket.
"Thank you for taking care of me, but it is time I go, time for all of us to go, and try to live normal lives." She whispered with tears in her eyes. She grabbed her own pistol and ran to the other two who were waiting for her.
"We don't have much time left! we have to get the guartds at the helo pad before Hondo gets out!" Claes said.
There were only three guard there when they arrived. Claes gave Rico a pen/dart and then the three of them split up. The guards were night blind from the helo pad lights so they did not see the three girls sneak up behind them, but it would have mattered little as they saw nothing for several hours after. together they drug the three unconscious guard off into the shadows and waited for Hondo, but they did not wait long. For Hondo and a red headed nurse soon were seen making their way to the pad.
 
Hondo turned from his vigil at the window and said, "It's time."
He then threw off the lab coat, so his EMT uniform showed again. He helped Red get her onto the copter transport cot and strapped her down.
"One false move from you, Red, and I promise you that you'll be dead before me." Hondo said. Red just nodded and cleaned her face, to not show the tears.
"What will you do with me after?" She asked.
"If you promise to behave, I'll just have most of the details of this excursion erased from your mind and will turn you lose. all you will 'think' that you remember is that you were kidnapped by Terrorists, then set free after they realized you were of little use to them." Hondo said.
"I'll be good. I promise." Red said.
"Just like you promised to always be there for me?" Hondo asked. "your word better mean a whole lot more now than they did then."
Hondo signaled for her to get moving. they moved out to the helo pad without any problem. as they approached the helicopter Hondo saw the girls approaching.
*right on time.* He thought. *now for the hard part.*
As Hondo got the girls aboard the copter and got red situated by Angelica he handed Bink a note. the note contained directions to the hideout and what to do with the copter. Bink hopped in pilot seat and started the engine, Rico was copilot, and Claes guarded Red to make sure she took care of Angelica.
"Take off!" Hondo yelled as he jumped on the landing gear and held on to the door. Sirens went off as the hospital security realized that the copter was being 'borrowed'. As they rose into the air security guards and police ran out to the helo pad and fired at them. they were bad shots and the copter was rising too hight to be a good target. As the copter headed out, Hondo hit a button on the remote in his pocket that set off most of the charges.
"Head toward the air port!" Hondo shouted. Bink swung the craft at the air port where many fighter craft were busy getting ready to take off and hunt the copter. When they got close enough Hondo hit another button on the remote that set off all the airport charges, including the ones that were attached to the nose gear of the fighters.
"Head back." Hondo yelled to Bink. She gave him a weird look but did as he ordered. As they flew back an unexpected copter flew at them.
"Keep at them." Hondo yelled. Bink stone-facedly kept going strait at the craft.
When we get close spin 90 degrees." Hondo yelled. Hondo pulled out his .50 cal dragoon and cocked it. When they got close they saw the machine guns in the copter ready to fire on them.
*bounty hunters.* Hondo thought. *but not for long.*

OOC: Let quit this bickering and continue with the story. Arik, what you do with the rewrite is on you.
Fernando wakes up at 5am and makes his to Captain RR and to the comminications room. There he requests to send a message to Hondo at a predetermined frequency.
Code:
Hondo:
Gather the girls and bring them to the 737BBJ at the airport by 7:30am. I'll be there for pick up; we're going home. Attach Angelina to as much portable monitoring equipment as you can, especially to the box that beeps loudly.
 


Another message is sent to Alex II.
Code:
Alex II:
Wrap up the mission, we're going home.
 


From the commincations room, Fernando and the captain make their way to the aircraft hanger & maintenence area to check on the learjet. The chief mechanic was inspecting the work done on the craft as Fernando and the captain enter the passenger section of the plane. Fernando points at the rear set of seats on the aircraft's left side.
Fernando: I'll need these 2 rows removed to make room for a hosptial gurney. Can your guys get it done before take off?
Captain RR: My boys have not failed me yet. Consider it done.
Fernando: Thank you. One more thing.
Captain RR: What is it?
Fernando (writes a messge on his paper pad and hands it to the captain): If anyone flying the 737BBJ does not give you that code, shoot it down.
Captain RR: Expecting trouble?
Fernando: More than you could find on the Midnight Expressl.
Captain RR: I see... We'll keep an eye out for it.
Fernando: Again. Many thanks. I have to gather the others together.
Captain RR: When can I expect you back?
Fernando: Hmmm... if you dont hear from me in lets say 12 hours from landing in Milan, expect the worst. Do not go after us, just go home and safeguard the convoy. May Italy burn to ashes...
Captain RR: A bit extreme, isn't it?
Fernando: We're dealing with extreme people here.
For a moment, they stand in silence.
Fernando: Alright Captain, you have my blessings. I'll see you, hopefully soon.
Captain RR: See you soon.
Fernando goes to his room and sends a message to CCC:
Code:
CCC;
Beware, the admiral might be dead, but his cybernetics may have their own intellengence, and might still pose as a threat. Last message I received was that the Admiral's body is missing from the Carolina's morgue.
 


After sending the message, Fernando writes up small missions folders before taking a slight rest and then to reporting for breakfast at 6:00am. He sits down to a steak & egg breakfast with all the fixings, which he wolfs down as quickly as possible. There was not even time to taste the food. He was done before the others start to gather for their breakfasts.
Fernando walks onto the deck with an ice chest with medical crosses and "Transplant Material" on it, where the Learjet was waiting for them in the parking area. The ground crew gives it their final OK before signing the airplane to Fernando. Fernando walks around the aircraft, giving his inspection, both inside and out. As requested the last 2 left rear seats have been removed for the gurney that would hold Angelica.
Fernando leaves the plane as it is being moved to be fuelled for the trip. He waits by the side as the others begin to approach them. He stand up to them and hands them each a folder, except for Jeanette.
Fernando (to Jeanette): Are you flying or not?
Jeanette: We been through this before.
Fernando: As a passenger.
Jeanette: I'll fly, as a passenger.
Fernando: You intend to lead? According to Arik, you're not.
Jeanette: I'm here, aren't I?
Fernando: That may not be enough. We need to go in, get the girls and get out.
Jeanette: Whats the ice chest for?
Fernando: This is where you play your part in this cloak & dagger. Its full of ice with a veal's heart in it. Anyone stops you for any reason, you show them Angelica in the gurney and the heart in ice and yell at them about they getting in the way of an emergency transplant surgery. Customs and Security, once they see the heart, will let you go by. Make sure you and the others are wearing your EMT uniforms.

Considering that, as a consequence of the reset (temporal stability being undermined, perhaps?) the Admiral's death had never happened, the AI was completely mystified by the message.
(OOC: Considering that this is Arik's thread, I feel that it is only polite to reset should Arik find said resetting necessary. If you insist on letting your last post stand, the only immediate reply you get will be

Fernando, quit waiting my time and yours. This is non cannon.
I am having to clean up a big mess because two long time friends can't get along anymore. The small quibble which resulted in a divorce only had a small impact on the story and it was able to keep on going. Ever since Jeanette threw Tammy overboard this whole team, the mission and the story have been falling apart. We are therefore reverting to just before Jeanette threw Tammy overboard.
Fernando, we have agreed that time machines will not be used in this story but you used yours to transport your self to a different point in space.
Since we are on the subject I think we need two new rules:
1. None of us twenty-something Rescue Rangers are allowed to die in this story. If any of you wish to be out of this story, your character can be hospitalized for the duration of this mission, sit around and do nothing, or whatever you choose.
2. If a writer does not want their character to lead, no other writer is allowed to make that character lead.
Since we are going back a few pages, I suggest we make the rescue of Rico and Triela more real which I know sounds like a difficult task. After all Angelica, Rico and Triela escaped from their rescuers with guns blazing resulting in one confirmed death. Rico and Triela are not going to give up just because their friends Bink and Claes tell them to. I propose a simple way to keep it real, bring along an adult that Rico and Triela can trust. If anyone can HELP convince Rico and Triela to leave the SWA it would be Olga though with Triela she may need even more convincing.
Fernando, I am doing everything I can to clean up this mess that you and Jeanette created. If that is not enough credentials for a leader you so need, then I don't know what is.

How you used Bink and Claes to convince Rico to come with them is fine. Rico is not the real challenge, Triela is, which is why we need Olga. Olga actually wants to help the girls and Triela trusts her.
If you would like some assistance with Olga's dialog, or whatever, let me know.

OOC: Okay, near as I can gather, at the point we've gone back to, Admiral Donnelly is not dead (yet) and is still on US soil (since he never was aboard the North Carolina, the North Carolina is still in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, though her crew (led by Commander Hasegawa) has risen up and taken command from the traitorous Captain Thorpe and his cronies (who have locked themselves in the CIC), and the USS Montana is still about two days away, transiting the Persian Gulf and the Suez Canal. Okay, here goes...[/OOC]
 
Eddie surveyed the report that Commander Hasegawa had sent him. The matter of the USS North Carolina still had to be dealt with. Her captain was still locked in the ship's CIC and refusing to come out, even after hearing of Donnelly's removal from command. That was somewhat understandable, of course, since Captain Thorpe was going to be charged with treason.
The matter was further complicated by the fact that the Texas and her battle group couldn't leave station: there was still a rescue mission going on in Italy. And though the CIA didn't like it, Texas had been authorized by the Pentagon to assist in the operation.
So instead, the loyal crewmen on Carolina were steaming towards the Mediterranean at a steady 20 knots. In addition, the USS Montana, Texas's sister ship, was steaming up from the Persian Gulf through the Suez Canal. However, she would not arrive for another day, since passage through the canal was limited to 8 knots. Once she arrived, Montana would be able to augment Texas's firepower, and allow the battle group to more readily deal with any trouble from North Carolina.
Eddie did not expect much trouble from the commandeered battleship, since her fighting ability had been all but neutralized. All that her traitorous captain could control directly from the CIC was her missiles, and Ms. Hasegawa was already on her way to making sure that those would be cut off, too.
So it was yet again that Eddie found himself in a waiting game. He could do nothing to help Hondo on his rescue mission; gunfire from the giant battleship would only exacerbate the situation. He did not know if there were further rogue Navy ships out there, waiting to pounce on Enterprise, so he could not leave to go challenge North Carolina directly.
Once again, the vulpine captain found himself up on the conning bridge, on the 09 level, staring out across the Mediterranean Sea at the coast of Italy. He looked over to Enterprise. Midnight was getting ready to fly the explosive laden Italian P-51D off of the carrier. Eddie wished him the best of luck.
There goes a guy with some serious guts, he mused.
As he looked across the battle group that surrounded the battleship, Eddie thought he saw a figure sitting atop the USS San Jacinto's flag bridge.
Evidently I'm not the only one who needs a quiet place to think once in a while, he thought.
The droning of a propeller brought Eddie's attention back to Enterprise as Midnight took off from the deck. The vintage warbird was catapulted off the carrier's deck and into the air. Midnight turned the plane away from the battle group and flew off to the west, towards Corsica. Eddie saluted the plane quickly as it flew by, and then went back inside Texas's conning tower.
 
********
"Another incoming flight, sir."
Eddie looked up from a chart on the Texas's bridge. "How many this time?"
"They've got 29 evacuees, sir."
"Great."
Since tensions had died down a bit, the USS Texas was now serving as a temporary destination for American tourists evacuated from Italy, from where they would be shipped out to the San Antonio or any of the other "refugee ships" that the Navy had brought in. Th amphibs were staying out in international waters, away from any potential danger.
Eddie got up and began the journey to roughly 400 feet aft of where he was: the battleship's helicopter control platform, which jutted out from the superstructure above her Number 3 turret. This time it wasn't an SH-60 Sea Hawk that was bringing evacuees, but a Navy CH-53E Super Stallion. The Super Stallion came in at an angle, so that it could fit on the battleship's fantail. At 99 feet long, getting the bird onto Texas was somewhat tricky. The ship's aftermost turret, Turret 4, had been rotated so that the guns pointed to sea. This was necessary to make room for the chopper.
The rotor wash from the CH-53 was evident on the water as it approached the battleship. Eddie had to hold onto his hat to keep from losing it.The pilot set it down gently on the ship's fantail and shut down the Stallion's three GE turboshaft engines, which made the wind buffeting Eddie and the crewmen on station cease.
Four crewman went out to meet the CH-53. The doors opened, a flight crew member stepped out, and began helping the frightened and confused tourists out of the aircraft. Eddie climbed down the stairs and onto the main deck of the Texas and went out to meet those coming aboard.
"Welcome to the battleship USS Texas," he said. "I'm Captain Dixon. You'll stay here for a little while before we send you out to one of the amphibious assault ships. I'm not going to lie to you, it's not going to be too comfortable on board. But we'll give you a good hot meal and a place to stay for a bit."
"You should know that we are still operating under wartime conditions, so you'll need to do what you're told. You can't just wander around freely."
The group of tourists nodded.
"Any of y'all that need medical attention will be taken care of right away. Everyone else, these men will escort you to one of the mess halls."
The ragtag group of tourists trudged away, led by several crewmen. A few were bandaged up a bit, and sent to the ship's infirmary. Fortunately, no one was too seriously injured.
After watching the evacuees go below decks, Eddie turned and made his way back to the bridge. The Super Stallion would stay on the battleship's fantail until the group was ready to be sent to one of the amphibs. Meantime, the captain was needed elsewhere.

OOC: I am already ahead of the program and am going to give this story an end. What you all do to fix the temporal anomaly is on you.
OOC2: I'm going to reread the admiral's fight and CCC's rescue attempt, and lets see.
OOC3: Doing rewrites in the middle of the story will destroy it. Its better to finish it and then rewrite it. This is what happened to UQ & T's Excellent Adventure.
T&P [Time and Placement]: 6am, on the deck of the Enterprise. DOS, Sinclair and Tammy are in the learjet going over their orders; waiting for Fernando and/or Jeanette to arrive inside and continue onwards.

Dont rub the lamp too hard, or you just might get your wish.
OOPs- too late:
http://www.planetfurry.com/~elfen/EndOfGsB.html
You wanted something real, I gave it my all to produce it. In short, how is end is on you; leave loose ends like you so want to in order to make it easy- that ending I proposed last night will be the ending you create.
Yes, you argued that the SWA is too poor and weak to undo their own mistakes. That can be said of any government agency. But then you steal their tools, there will be consquences to be paid, and they are fitting the bill.
So in just doing; rescuing Bink is not the answer, they will go after Tammy and whom ever is with her a the time to get her back or destroy her. Rescuing all the girls is only part of the solution, but also the one tiny thing you keep forgetting is that the SWA must be shut down pernamently, or else- like I told you last night:
[quote]
You cant kill a Hydra by chopping it up into little pieces, that only causes more hydras to grow from the pieces. You have to kill the hydra by other means (poison) and make sure that it is entirely dead, or another hydra will grow back from the piece that remains living.
[\quote]
OK, thats not an exact word-for-word quote... but its in the chat logs if you want me to dig it up.
So End Game Solution: Rescue the girls; arrest, kill or otherwise eliminiate the adult members of the SWA; Sanction Italy for allowing it to happen for so long.
Everyone here is playing according to the rules. Everyone has done their best according to their roles. I can not ask anything more of that of the players. But I am not so willing to bend the rules for one player in order to satisy him or her. We might as well go home and say that we rescued Bink, and drink and brag about stories that never happened. Or we can try to do it.
So far, of the above: Italy's being sanctioned for its crimes. Most of the SWA members are under arrest, with a couple still on the loose. 2 of the girls were rescued until somebody decided to take them off ship...
As it is, it continues to an end. I proposed 1 ending, that will happen if you allow it to happen. There can be no loose ends, and there will be no loose ends. That is how I am playing it.
How are you playing it?
While you can, rent out Cloak & Dagger

You left out the part that they are 'friends' too.
I don't have friends in this world. mostly because my definition of friend is a little different.
A friend is a person you can and have told everythin' about yourself, good and bad. and after you do they say "I like you even better now. not because of what you did or who you are, but because I know you better."
That person, that friend, you can trust with that info as they will never repeat it. they will help you if you are in trouble no matter what they have got goin', you can trust your life to them, when you are havin' a bad day you can trust them to give you your needed space, and if you don't like somethin' ( like bein' written about a certain way) they will change it and try to make sure that it will not happen again.
Too bad I don't see folk around here actin' like that.
I like y'all and consider you good acquaintances, but further has yet to be proved.
For you who know each other well an see each other face to face, it should be easier to know each other and work out differences, so why in blazes do you need to argue here?
We need to go on, but actin' like friends, not enemies. I don't know 'bout y'all, but I have enough enemies as it is without findin' more. Let's do this thing together! lets not be vengeful.
Let's kick some Italian bad guy's hinnies!
--------------------------------------------------
Midnight Man
- - - - -  
OOC: Okay, here's another repost. The take-off part has already been covered by Eddie, so here's my arrival on the island.
Another thing to tell about the Propriano (LFKO) airfield is that it is closed over the night. But the lone pilot in the shiny vintage craft would land there even if they covered the runway with barbed wire. This was what the one controller realizes when he enters the airfield in the early morning. The sun has begun to rise, but it is still so low that it doesn't shine over Corsica's hills and onto the west coast yet. This in turn means that an approach to a dark and closed airfield without illumination against the rising sun looks like an awfully bad idea. And still, the silver bird keeps coming closer, meanwhile close enough to enable the canine on the airfield to see the landing gears. Whoever this is, he is serious. And this is no Cessna and no Piper either, this thing is so fast he'd never be in the tower to guide the pilot in time, so why not stay outside?
It's not before the plane touches down on the runway 10 that it identifies itself as a warbird in Italian livery. 65 years ago, this would have meant an Italian invasion. Miniature invasion, but still. The aircraft slows down and taxis to a place to stop on the grass aside the runway.
Midnight opens the canopy and takes a deep breath of Corsica's seaside air. He is relieved that he made it to Propriano safely. But upon seeing the controller (and probably only person in charge on the entire airfield) approach. 'Of all animals in the world,' he thinks as he sees him, 'does this guy have to be a Border Collie?!'
"Excuse me," the dog says, "but this airfield is closed."
"First, no, it isn't, you were here before I touched down," Midnight replies. "Second, got a better idea where to land this plane?" As he speaks, he notices that the dog in charge is already making use of his most powerful sense. He is sniffing around.
"You must have some serious guts to land here with all the guns and explosives in your plane. Who and what are you, apart from a mouse?" The controller would put a gun onto Midnight's chest if he had one. But he himself feels uneasy about what he has discovered.
"Um, guns? Explosives?"
"I can smell them. This box here," he takes the wooden box with the Micro Uzi in it, "contains a weapon shooting live ammo. This box," he removes the other box from the plane, "contains a weapon shooting tranq ammo. I smelled the tranquilizer if you need to know. Besides," with one quick grip, he draws the gun Fernando has modified from Midnight's holster, so does this one. And the explosives are distributed all over the plane, but it wouldn't take me much time to find them, trust me. Besides, the aircraft's cannons are loaded, too."
"Wow, that's one amazing smelling sense."
"Not really. My grandfather could tell from the scent of a plane flying past where they got the fuel, how much ammo they had left, and if someone from the crew had wet himself. Seemed to happen often at war." The dog chuckled. "Anyway, I'm still waiting for a plausible explanation what you're doing here on French ground with this winged bomb."
"Alright, I'll tell you. I'm coming from the carrier USS Enterprise. We captured this plane, apparently someone who's working for the Italian government has sent the plane and the pilot to stop or at least severe the covert rescue operation we're on. First, he tried to shoot down the Learjet I used to fly some of the team back to the Enterprise which he refrained from when he found himself surrounded by modern fighters. Then, when he was forced to land on the Enterprise, too, he shot the plane's cannons at anything he could hit. We can be lucky he didn't get to ignite the explosives. And the last thing I know is that US Army ships were ordered to attack and destroy the Enterprise whose captain didn't want to have these amounts of explosives on his ship in case of an attack. If you don't trust me, I can try to establish a connection to the Enterprise's captain."
"No, no, I trust you, no problem. And I understand that landing here, despite the bad conditions, was safer than landing on a big commercial airport."
"Say... what's your name?" Midnight asks.
"You can call me Marcel."
"Okay, Marcel, then you can call me Martin." He pronounced the name the French way. "You do know that what I told you is secret until further notice? Is anyone else coming here today?"
"Oh, from time to time, there are some small craft coming in and flying away again, but not every day, so I'm one out of only two persons in charge. The other one, Didier, will be here in half an hour. I suggest we'd better hide your plane in the hangar before he's here. He needn't know anything about it."
OOC: This buys me some time to work out Didier's parts and what I'll do.
