*@ the start of round 4*
GTX2GvO: Darn it. They got our flag again.
GTX2GvO: We really need to teach.........
*Suddenly the base alert lights are lit, but without a voice announcement*
Everyone: Are we getting a new mission!! :nuts:
*The whole team dashes towards the briefing room where Major Damage waits*
Mjr Damage: There you are.
TheChosen: What's the mission boss?
Mjr Damage: There isn't any..... Yet.
Tomekk: Then why call us over? And why use the emergency system?
Mjr Damage: Cause there are two thing to tell you guys.
Ian: Oh. The Old Good news, Bad News situation.
Mjr Damage: More like Bad News, Worse News Situation.
Team: ehhmm..
Mjr Damage: First the bad news.
Mjr Damage: You're all confined to your quarters till the next mission.
Mjr Damage: And if you do NOT have a valid reason of eating or other important stuff, you'll be cleaning the latrines with standard issue X-Com toothbrushes.
Capo: But that's Terrible news!!
There's nothing worse then that!
Mjr Damage: Actually there IS.
GTX2GvO & TheChosen:
Paco: But WHAT is worse then that?
Mjr Damage: The Senator Called. He's threatening to pull the plug on the project. Unless I send you on a mission ASAP.
Kugerfang: But Dad is STILL funding this Right?
Mjr Damage: No Kuger. He's threatening to stop all financing and support.
Ian: But we can still get enough cash with all the development patents right?
Mjr Damage: For the Project perhaps, but not to keep certain crew members.
*TheChosen and GTX2GvO look @ each other, knowing what that means*
GTX2GvO: You don't have the cash to keep paying me, nor the governmental support to keep Him *points to TC* out of jail.
Mjr Damage: Heck! I won't even get the support to get him back IN the jail if the plug is pulled.
*The Team Gasps*
Mjr Damage: So unless I send you on a mission soon, those two arses *point's to TC & GTX* will be leaving as if they didn't even existed @ ALL!!
Ian: OK. That IS worse news.
Mjr Damage: Now DISMISSED! I have People To call!
*GTX turns to TC*
GTX2GvO: So where are you going to if this blows up?
TheChosen: Beats me. Probably getting caught in some Cola-bar or something sooner or later.
TheChosen: But HOW did you stay away from the law for all this time, while you have a nastier track record?
GTX2GvO: I have my own secret base and I am careful @ where I drink what.
TheChosen: I see. So you never needed to spend the night in some sleazy motel or something similar?
GTX2GvO: Nope. And If I needed to stay somewhere else for a longer period of time, I actually sleep in one of my space ships.
GTX2GvO: And Now Spit that question.
TheChosen: ???
TheChosen: How did you?
GTX2GvO: Easy. You're facing more jail time if you go your old way. I have a secret base AND I've NEVER been caught before.
GTX2GvO: So counting that together. You need a place to stay.
TheChosen: Got a spare bed?
GTX2GvO: More like a spare wing.
TheChosen: oh. That's generous.
GTX2GvO: Now I'm Going to the cafeteria to eat something and make the necessary preparations to get back to my base.
TheChosen: Preparations?
GTX2GvO: My ship is @ the Base You know. :notrust: I need to call it.
TheChosen: OK. And good luck stuffing your face with croissants and milk.
*GTX goes to the cafeteria while TC goes to his quarters*
TheChosen: Hopefully this will turn out better then the last time I managed to get out of jail.
TheChosen: Damn. The only thing I managed back then was getting a decent stash of Cola.
TheChosen: Speaking of which. I feel thirsty.
*TC speeds up his walking toward his quarters*
