*GTX2GvO's Private quarters*

GTX2GvO: I'd better put these guns in a safe spot

*GTX taps @ a spot in his room and a rather large box appears. He places his gun and rifle in it and taps on it again to make it disappear*

GTX2GvO: I just love quantum displace able storage units.. Can't get storage to be any safer.. :amused:

*GTX looks @ his bed and sits on it*

GTX2GvO: Hmmm... Looks Like I haven't wrote a log for quite some time..

*GTX picks up a notepad and pencil*

GTX2GvO: Ahh. Just love the god old paper and pen, can't get changed, deleted or copied.

*GTX2GvO Starts writing*

Log note: 21065783

It's been quite a while since I applied to this X-Com gig and although it was
quite appealing at the start it's being a massive drag right now.

It feels like weeks have past without a single mission and from the sight of
it it will take a long time before the next one commences.

It's that my payments are still met, cause if they weren't.....
I think the other merc on the base, TheChosen, probably feels the same here,
Although he's here to stay out of jail.

I don't know how all the others feel about the current lack of events, but I
assume it's pretty much all the same.

On a side note.
My ship has bailed. He went to the Canobean rendezvous and as it currently
looks like it, he won't be back soon.
Which means I'm quite stuck around here.

End of log 21065783

GTX2GvO: *Sigh*

Device: #Beep, Beep#

GTX2GvO: Let's see what Kendaru sent me

Package Item 546-43B present.
You know what that means.

GTX2GvO: Looks like he won't come back.
GTX2GvO: *Beeep*

*GTX lies down on his bed and goes to sleep*

[ianfreddie07]

*While walking, Ian steps on something*

Ian: What's this..? It looks like a machete of some sort.
*Ian picks up the machete*
Ian: Hmmm... it says... "Spare", so somebody owns a machete around here. But since I dunno who owns it...
*Ian brings machete into his quarters*
Ian: I haven't practiced my swordsmanship much. Better train on this dummy...
*slash, slash, slash then dummy is split in half after a spinning slice*
Ian: Rusty it may look, this machete cuts pretty well. It's a good thing I'm good with bladed weapons.
*Ian gets a soda and bumps into TheChosen*
Ian: Oh, hi TC.
TC: Hey Ian. Have you seen a machete around here?
Ian: Yeah, it's in my room. I picked it up somewhere.
TC: Oh thank heavens. Arete's been looking for that.
Ian: ARETE HAS A MACHETE?!?
TC: She's the only one that has a machete. Two in fact.
Ian: Then I'll go get it.
TC: Do it quickly Ian. If Arete gets furious about losing one of her machetes, she's gonna slice everyone except the Major to bits.
*Ian rushes off to get machete*
Ian: *running* I got it... *trips* Oh no!
*TC evades the flying machete*
*machete sticks to wall*
TC: Hey! Careful with those!

Story may continue...

*GTX2GvO's Private quarters*

GTX2GvO: Guess I slept for a while.

*GTX2GvO looks @ his clock*

GTX2GvO: WHAT! Just two damn minutes! I thought it was several weeks!

*Sound of knocking on the door*

GTX2GvO: Who is there?
TheChosen: Me.
GTX2GvO: What do you want?
TheChosen: For You to open the damn door.

*GTX2GvO opens the door*

TheChosen: I know how we can have some fun here.
GTX2GvO: How?
TheChosen: Remember those nice aliens who escaped.
GTX2GvO: What are you planning.

TheChosen: I've spoken also to some of those security guys here on the base.
TheChosen: And they are pretty much bored stiff as well.
GTX2GvO: We always CAN do some laser tag games. Also earns some money for the base.

TheChosen: Nah. Too boring.
TheChosen: I'm thinking about something else.
GTX2GvO: What are you thinking about and do we like it?
TheChosen: Two things actually.
TheChosen: One. I heard we got a whole shipment of stunguns in the experimental weapons testing facility.
TheChosen: Two. The experimental weapons testing facility also has holographic morphers in their assortment.
GTX2GvO: And... ?
TheChosen: Oh! Come ON! We the Stunguns. The security using the Morphers.
GTX2GvO: I see.
GTX2GvO: So the security guys will Play as if they are aliens?
TheChosen: Yep.
GTX2GvO: So. How long will it take to get this going?

*TheChosen places a stungun in GTX his hand*

TheChosen: Now!

*Suddenly a Spitter walks in the corridor*
GTX2GvO: HOLY!!
TheChosen: Remember. Stunguns only. They are the security guys.
GTX2GvO: Great! :nuts: Let's get this going.

*GTX2GvO Shoots the Spitter and runs into the corridor*

TheChosen: HE!! Wait for me! Leave some For me too!!

*All around the base*

Tomekk: WhooHoo!! Let's have some fun!
Terves: Get over Here!
Arete: Here Tigy wigy.
Guard-Spitter: Get this Tiger of me!
Tiger: Prrrr.
Bob: OHH NOO!! Aliens are Loose again!
Fortis: They aren't real Dork.

Major Damage: When did I approved this again?

[ianfreddie07]

*Ian wanders around*

Ian: Hey look! I found a hidden room. Or maybe the door was just too rusty and blended with the wall...

*Ian opens the door*

Ian: I have a bad feeling about this... *clicks light switch on* Hey! It's a basketball court!

Ian: Aha! I could use this solid hologram making thingie I picked up somewhere and create virtual players.

*Ian conjures up 9 virtual players and starts playing*

*Later* Ian: Ian shoots for the win...

*swish*

Ian: Ian scores! All right, time to call back the "players"

Ian: But first, I'll see if I can dunk this ball...

*Ian tries a basic slam dunk, and succeeds but...*

Ian: Ow! I think I hurt my knee. At least I can still walk, so I'm outta here.

*As Ian exits, a loud rumble is heard*

Guard-Spitter: *running* Help!
Guard-Spitter 2: *running* Help us!

Ian: WTF?

*Ian hears a lot of footsteps and sees GTX, Chosen, Arete and her Tiger, Tomekk, Fortis (who finally steps outta his room), Bob and Terves all wielding stunguns *

*ZAP!*

Tomekk: Ha! I got a 1 UP from shooting Ian!
GTX2GvO: Whatever. Let's just get those "guards"
The rest: Yeah! Come on! *running off*

*Ian gets up*

Ian: Well, I certainly know the Major ISN'T going to approve of this.

[Tomekk]

*After 60 minutes of non-stop running around and shooting everyone is taking a break in the Cafeteria.TheChosen, GTX2GvO are chatting while Tomekk is "modding" his minigun.*

Tomekk: I'll be right back, don't you dare to touch my gun again *Looks at TC*.

TheChosen: Fine, I won't mess around with your little water-gun. :amused:

*Tomekk approaches a rather-frightened Bob.*

Tomekk: Hey Bob, could I lend your stun-gun?

Bob: Why?

Tomekk: Ahh c'mon, you can have this pack of bubble-gum for it.*Shows
Bob a big-pack of mint-flavoured gum.*

Bob: O..OK!!!! :nuts: *immediately takes the bubble-gum and hands his Stun-Gun to Tomekk.*

*Tomekk goes back to his seat and checks his mini-gun.*

TheChosen: What are you up to TK?

Tomekk: You'll see, I'm making a weapon of Mass-Destruction
*A few minutes of assembling later, Tomekk raises his new Mini-Gun.*

Tomekk:Hey guys, let's go try this baby out!

TheChosen: Hehe.

GTX2GvO: Allright!

*The trio heads to the Shooting range where Tomekk anxiously pulls the Trigger. Suddenly a whole barrage of Stun rays start flying in every direction.*
Tomekk: Needs a little calibration, but I co... Ohh nevermind, try it out for yourselves. *Hands the Mini-gun to TheChosen and GTX.*

*After a few minutes of shooting:*
Tomekk: I have an Idea!

TheChosen: Shoot!

Tomekk: HEADSHOT!!! :nuts:

TheChosen: :notrust:

GTX2GvO: :notrust:

Tomekk: :amused: Ok, so, how about playing a game of Capture-The-Flag? You know when people split up in 2 teams and try to steal&capture the enemy's flag!

TheChosen: You've played too much Unreal Tournament, Tomekk. But nevermind, count me in!

GTX2GvO: Good idea! I'll go configure some Holo-Morphers to act like flags, meet you guys in the cafeteria!

TheChosen: Ok, I'll go with TK and we'll get some players.

*10 minutes later, in Major Damage's office.*
Major: Finally, these little kids have stopped shooting eachother.
I wonder where they are? Maybe the cafeteria?

*Major Damage walks towards the cafeteria and sees 2 teams, (One dressed in red, one in blue) carrying stun-guns and some harmless grenades, walking out of the cafeteria. They walk past Major and say "hi" as if he we're not a superior officer.*

Tomekk: Hey Max!
TheChosen: Good day, Sir!
GTX2GvO: Hello!
Security Guard 1: Sup', boss?
Janitor: Hey chief!
Etc, etc, etc.

*When suddenly...*

Security Guard 2: TIGER-ALERT!!!

*In a few moments, 3 people come running out of the cafeteria, with Arete's Tiger in hot-pursuit.*

Everybody: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

[ianfreddie07]

*What the people don't know is Ian is riding the tiger*

Ian: Whoa Tigy! What's got you so angry?! *Tiger pushes Ian off* Whoa!

*Thud*

Ian: WILD TIGER! RUN FOR YOUR... Oh, wait. I remember I still have that special whistle... *whistle rings and tiger quiets down*

Ian: Now that he's silenced... Where's Arete?

Everybody: Dunno...
GTX2GvO: Wait, I think I saw her sharpening her machete somewhere.
Ian: Oh, okay.

TheChosen: Hey Ian! Do you wanna play Capture-the-Flag with us? We're one guy short.

Ian: I'll just get this tiger to Arete and then I'll think about it. *rides on tiger again*

*Ian hears grinding sounds*

Ian: Here you are Arete! You don't look so happy, though...

Arete: How can I not be? Their stupid stungunning warped my machete, dented my room and scared my tiger and now it's going on a rampage!

Ian: You mean THIS tiger?

Arete: Ian! How'd you... Oh, right. That special whistle. Works like a charm. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll sharpen and reshape my machete then go out into a killing frenzy just like what I did to Fortis.

Ian: w-w-wait! You mean... You controlled your rage when you almost slashed Fortis?

Arete: Yeah! I just did the killing frenzy speeches to drive him nuts and make him act like a baby.

Ian: *chuckle* Okay then. I have to return to the cafeteria. See ya!

Arete: See ya Ian.

*Ian dashes to the cafeteria, but stops instantly to greet the Major*

Ian: Good day, Major!
Major: Good day, Ian. Could you kindly explain what they're doing? *points at the CTF game by Tomekk and the rest*
Ian: I have no idea, sir. *Gives the Major earplugs*
Major: Thank you. Now they can carry on shooting while I do some sleeping.
Ian: All right. Now to play some CTF-ing... Chosen!
TheChosen: You coming to join us?
Ian: Ah what the heck. Gimme a stun gun and let's re-start this!

*FZZT*

[Fortis]

Fortis: Alright, we’ve got TC and Bob coming down the east corridor, and Ian and Capo coming from the south.

GTXGvO: Not that I particularly care, but isn’t using your mental abilities cheating?

Fortis: All is fair in love and war, and to a lesser extent capture the flag

GTXGvO: Whatever, just get ready to defend our flag.

Fortis: I’ve got that covered. I got a auto-targeting stun turret from R&D. They’ll never get past that.

Paco: With Albert’s permission, I presume?

---

Elsewhere

Scientist: Vhere ze heck didt zat prototype go?

---

Fortis: Er, of course.

GTXGvO: Now that’s definitely cheating. I like your style.

Fortis: And it leaves us free to--

Tomekk: They’ve got our flag! They’ve got our- *is stunned*

Paco: Aw nuts.

GTXGvO: It looks like your turret didn’t work.

Fortis: Impossible! *Dashes of to the turret*

*ZAP*

The Chosen: Oh, hey Fortis. Albert says not to borrow his projects without permission. I believed he reprogrammed it to only stun you.

Fortis: (telepathically) Oh No!

The Chosen: You don’t mind if I take this do you? *Waves the flag, then runs off*

*GTXGvO and Paco run in*

Fortis: They got our flag! TC just left with it!

Paco: I’ll get them! *Runs after TC*

*GTXGvO stays*

Fortis:What are you waiting for?

GTCGvO: Wait for it.

Fortis: Fine, I’ll get it myself *Get’s to his feet, and is promptly stunned again.*

*Ten minutes later*

Paco: *panting* I finally got our flag back…um, what are you doing GTX?

GTXGvO: Just watch.

*Fortis tries to get up but is stunned again*

Paco: How long has he been doing that?

GTXGvO: Dunno, but he’s been stunned about seventy three times now.

Fortis:TURN OFF THAT @#$% TURRET ALREADY!!

Paco: Wait a minute, I want to see that again.

Fortis:*Gets up* *ZAP*If I could move my fingers, I would flip you all off!

GTXGVO: Come on, Paco. Let’s go rush TC’s base.

Paco: You’ll watch out for our flag, won’t you Fortis?

*GTX and Paco leave*

Fortis:*Gets up* *ZAP*!@#$ YOOOOOOOOU!

[GTX2GvO]

*One corridor after leaving Fortis*

GTX2GvO: Wait I got a Splendid Idea! :nuts:
Paco: What?

*GTX runs back to fortis*

Fortis :Oh Thank you.
GTX2GvO: Shut up and lie still.
Fortis: What?

*GTX2GvO shoves the Flag under Fortis*

GTX2GvO: Now if they want the flag they have to pick you up first and thus get stunned with you.
Fortis: Why You. Son of a...
GTX2GvO: Hé! @ Least I found a way we can use that thing now!
Paco: Wouldn't it be easier If that thing stunned anyone who comes near fortis or the flag?

GTX2GvO:
GTX2GvO: Let's try it out.

*GTX goes to the machine and starts fiddling*

Fortis: Please turn it off!
GTX2GvO: Paco please step away from Fortis. He's a hardwired target for this thing.
Paco: Sure.... *ZAP*

GTX2GvO: Sorry. But you can crawl away.
Paco: Now that's set. Can we NOW rush TC's base?
GTX2GvO: Sure.

*Paco stands up @ a safe distance from Fortis and the flag and moved toward TC's base together with GTX2GvO*

Fortis: Damn You two!! DAMN YOU!!! *ZAP*
Fortis: Maybe I should stay down.

First chance he got, he signed up in the X-com project, hoping to join in the "Adventure". Likes the thought of himself being a live, and will do anytihng to keep it that way.

(look into his HD) I gotta brush up on my skills a bit....

[ianfreddie07]

*Ian muffles his laughter*

Ian: Oh man! This is awesome! Fortis just keeps zapping himself LOL

Capo: The problem with that is... we can't capture the flag... or can we?

Ian: Hold on... *checks out magic toolbox* Aha! I found it!

*Ian finds 2 pairs of rubber gloves*

Capo: GLOVES? YOU think that WE can get the flag safely from Fortis using GLOVES?

Ian: What's wrong with that? Stunguns emit electric discharges to... well, stun. I'll see what I can do.

*Ian rushes to Fortis head-on*

Fortis: Hey y-*ZAP* Oww... Nevermind, I know the flag ISN'T with me! *ZAP*

Ian: O RLY?? Can you tell me where you hid it?

Fortis: Why should I? It's our flag, not yours! *ZAP* Ouch. I can't feel my legs...

Ian: I'll dismantle the turret and set you free from your suffering.

Fortis: Deal. They put the flag under me. Now can you dismantle this thing already? I've already been stunned for-*ZAP* 200 times now.

Ian: *Dismantling* How did the turret get here anyways?

Fortis: I uh... stole it.

Ian: There we go. Now you're free and we get your flag. *Fortis stands up and gives Ian the flag*

Capo: *In disbelief* H-How'd you do it?

Ian: Diplomacy, my friend. Now let's sneak the flag in. *Runs to capture point*

Fortis: *coming to his senses* W-wait a minute... Oh no! I just gave them the freaking flag! GTX isn't gonna be happy about this...

Announcer: Team Chosen captures Team GTX's Flag! It's now 1-0!

GTX2GvO: Huh? How did they...

GTX2GvO, Tomekk and Paco: Fortis!
