*CI theme playing*
Razor bid the others farewell and stepped out of the holoroom. He looked about the CI. The electronic lights were beginning to activate as the skies darkened. "What's taking them?" he said to himself. This being in reference to Sinim and Notesurfer, who he expected to come. "Notesurfer will have to catch up. My brother will be here shortly...I can feel it." What disturbed him was that other feeling, like a dark cloud that has been hovering over him since he first began his quest. He shivered.
"Probably nothing..." he said and shook off the feeling. He stepped into the elevator and entered the old man's office. "We're gonna head out tomorrow. We'll approach the tower under the cover of the Tokyo night. I hope you don't have a problem with that?"
"None...but do you think this will be enough?"
"It will...have to be..."
Razor stepped back out of the office and went to his room. He had a few agents deliver the message to the rest of the CISOD. He took off his cloak and threw it on a nearby table. He removed his belt and sheath and placed them on top. He then placed his Callistos with them, and pulled off his armor, placing it on top. He removed his shoes and jumped onto the bed, facedown (he had a hard time sleeping on his wings). He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, anticipating the next day's battle.

N3B and the others, Niff, Snake, and Storm, all were still in the holo-lab training. The simulation was to eliminate 10 guards, with 10 bullets, all head shots. Eveyone had passed, Snake just finishing his second round when a random CI agent entered the room. Everyone's eyes went from Snake's performance to the agent.
"Everyone, you will be setting out tomorrow night. Get some sleep, and be ready."
His message sent, he left the room. The group all shot blank looks at each other, and the training simulation shut down. The CI employee looked around the room and sighed.
"well," she said, looking about the floor, "I hope you are all going to clean this mess up!" She pointed at random piles of bullets that had hit the wall and dropped to the floor. The group all looked at the mess they had made, and sighed, making their way to get cleaning gear. They swept the floor clean, wishing the CI had invested in cleaning hov bots like dD did. Once they had finished their task, they were all quick to leave before being assigned more chores.
Storm rubbed his head and then looked up toward the second floor. "well, i'm gonna head off to my bunk" he said, departing from the rest. The N-Bombs stayed up, wandering about the institute, through the various pathways and rooms with nothing to do.

Hawkeye flew to the CI onboard a hover car he had stolen from some random guy. He parked just outside, stepping out, and walking up to the main door. ringing the door bell, a randomemployee opened the door, and welcomed him into the institute under the account of his being there for CISOD. She brought him into the main area, where he ran into 3 tuff looking guys.
"Ah, these are the N-Bombs, other members of the CISOD." She said, displaying the group. The one off to the left raised his visor, and spoke:
"So, you another new guy huh?"
"yeah..." Hawkeye said
"Well, there haven't been too many as of late. Follow us; we'll take you up to Carrington's office for the mission breifing"
Hawkeye followed the three up the elevator. They introduced themselves as Snake, Niff, and N3B. They entered Carrington's room, where he looked suprised.
"Another new one? this late?" The elderly man said, rising from his table.
"Yeah.... he needs the briefing" one of the N-Bombs said.
"well, i'm running low on them..." carrington said, pulling out a folder from a drawer in his desk.
"ok" hawkeye said, "this is what i need. i'll go review it from outside, and let you get to work". With that hawkeye left, and the N-Bombs stayed to chat with Carrington.
Removing the paper from the envelop, he read it. not too hard he thought. they'd be setting off tommorow, so he needed to get some rest.

Phife: Ooof. Easy does it, Greev.
Grievis: This mountainous terrain is difficult to navigate upon without turbulence.
The dark red hoverbike boosts over another rock formation along the mountain trail, like a bleeding bunny rabbit would hop away from a hungry butcher. Some rocks crumble from the side of the mountain after the boosters blaze against them. Ahead is the Carrington Institute, built uopn the side of the mountain. Phife releases the throttle as the hoverbike slows down and hovers near where some other small vehicles are parked. Phife signals to the AI to deactivate, and he dismounts.
The heavy blue doors retract, and Phife is stopped by a CI guard.
CI Guard: ID, sir.
Phife removes the fake skin on his forehead, and the insignia of the seventh SEAL (as shown in the avatar) glows slightly. The guard nods.
CI Guard: I assume you have conversed with Dr. Carrington about recent matters.
Phife: I have. Where are his boys at?
CI Guard: As of recent, a handful have trained in the Holo Training, but most have retired to their bunks.
Phife: I've already broken into my new silvers, so I guess I'll join the bandwagon.
Stepping into a glass elevator, Phife waits until the second floor comes into view. Phife heads to a brown sliding door and enters a hallway. A few seconds later, he arrives at his bunk, and pulls his silvers, a duo of DY-347 Magnums in excellent condition, out of his holsters and checks his chambers. Both rotary chambers are loaded completely, but he probably would be offered more rounds before the mission. He rests the magnums on a table and sits down on his bed, thinking about further courses of action.

Ranger had found Magnum about 20 minutes ago and from there they had decided to practice a different way. They had begun collecting some of the off duty CI guards and were handing out paintballing equipment. After a while they had to teams ready for combat one lead by Ranger the other by Magnum. They stepped out and picked the area that they would use. Carrington called them breifly before the game started to say they were starting there mission tomorrow and then they were off against each other. All in all it was a good time and they had both got in about equal scores. Magnum had gotten in a few more hits though. So he had won the breif skirmish afterward Ranger retired to his bed to get some rest for tomorrow something told him it was going to be a long day.

Snake, N3B and Niff had been wandering for quite awhile, talking about the mission, The night guards exchanged sleepy hello's with them as they walked past.
Snake: "I'm really exited about this mission" Niff: "So am I" N3B: "Aren't we all" Snake: "But we've got to remember, this CISOD mission is not gonna be a walk in the park, This Mission won't be as easy as the last one, I can feel it" N3B: "No one knows what to expect, we'll have to wait"

Phoenix sat down on the stone floor of the incompleted halways of the CI. Not much space was left in the main building, so Phoenix had decided he would room the dark caverns for the day. Phoenix was walking down one of these hallways when he noticed a CI employee wandering around looking at every corner as if he was lost.
"Lost?" Phoenix yelled out to the man. He apparently did not notice Phoenix and jumped in his startlement (that even a word?).
"Would you be Phoenix by any chance?" the man nervously spoke.
"That is what they call me..." Phoenix grunted.
"I have been sent to inform you that the operation begins in the middle of the night. It is best that you get yourself some rest now before we depart."
"Hmmmph. Very well. Thank you for delivering your message. Tell whoever sent you that I will be sleeping in my fighter if you need to wake me."
"Right away." The man stammered then walked back down the hallways.
Phoenix turned and looked up at the ceiling. He could not help but once again think, 'I can not believe I am doing this...'

The N-Bombs had wound up in"Hacker Central" playing pranks on Grimshaw. IT was rather fun actually, always twitched and cringed. In the middle of their "make him say 'bestriantidark'" prank, the PA system let out a loud beep, followed by Carrington's voice: "ATTENTION: CISOD team, you will be departing within and half hour. Everyone meet in the Hangar, where last minute preparations shall take place."
The gang looked around, and shrugged, leaving Grimshaw to twitch and cringe on the floor. They went down the elevator, and found Ranger and Magnum heading to the hangar as well. The 5 walked down the series of ramps into the hangar, where Storm, Razor, Phife, Hawkeye, and Majora were all sitting around before Carrington. The 9 already there waited a few minutes, wondering where Phoenix was.
After 10 minutes, someone got the idea to start playing soccer with a hovercrate. The team was knocking it around, until Magnum wildy slammed it with a club. The crate slammed against Phoenix's ship, making a loud thud. A few seconds later, Phoenix emerged from inside.
"What was that?!" he screamed, checking The Deadly Pigeon for scratches. Everyone backed away, and returned to safety behind Carrington.
"Well then, now that everyone is here," Carrington started, "We shall go over last-minute preparations. This mission calls for stealth, so try to avoid setting off any alarms like last time. Do this as fast as possible, so that it is still dark out when you evacuate and head for the Australian Eurelco base. They will most definately be prepared for your arrival, so you may have to cause some damage. You all know the rest."
The group looked over at the hangar door, where a CI Jumpship had just landed.
"This is your ride; If you need at any time to use your own ships, most of them have a calling ability, so that shouldn't be a problem."
The ship's door opened, and the CISOD team boarded, and found a spot to strap themselves in. The engine fired up, and made a loud "conking" noise, as the ship lifted up into the air, and set off into the night. N3B checked his watch, it was about 2AM, and he felt very drowzy. 'I should have gotten some more rest' he thought to himself, but shrugged this off once the Pilot made his announcement: "TEA: 4 hours."
Leaning over, N3B nodded off to sleep to awaken when they had arrived in DownTown Tokyo to take out the Black Council.

OOC: I was going to get us up and out, but OK...whatever. LET ME GET THE NEXT PART TOMORROW
*Cue Dark Combat*
Razor scoffed at the sleeping N3B. He would need his rest, he had a difficult mission ahead of him. He looked around at the rest of the team. Deep inside, he wished that Notesurfer and Sinim were there, but he knew Sinim wouldn't let him down. His black skintight T-shirt was quite comfortable...he didn't understand how they could wear those restrictive jumpsuits. Plus, his shirt was specially tailored to let his wings through, as was his armor. His thoughts were distracted as he once more felt a dark presence hovering nearby. He pulled the Crystal of Darkness from his belt. It felt ice cold in his palm as the black ebony crystal glowed a faint red. He placed it back in the pouch, and focused back on the battle ahead. He checked the stash on the dropship and found what he needed...

Golden Magnum was pretty content flying on the CI jumpship. Most of his time was spent polishing his Magnum and playing Sonic Advance 2 on his Gameboy Advance which doubled as the remote for his ship, the dataDyne nightEagle. He noticed N3B was apparently sleeping. He never understood why humans needed so much sleep since he was an artificial lifeform and was engineered to only need 7 hours of sleep a week. Still, he decided not to bother N3B and continue to polish his Magnum.

OOC:Sorry guys, been out of town for a few days.
Storm felt fairly comfortable in the CI dropship, since his own fighter was one, but wasn't so sure in the pilot. The craft had experinced some turbulance and the had made some sharp turns.
"I guess thats what you get with one of these", he thought to himself, thinking of how his ship flew much smoother. He looked around the ship at the mixed group that was going to do this mission. Looking over at N3B, and noticing he was sleeping, he decided that wouldn't be a bad idea, since he had gotten only a few hours sleep. He asked the pilot what the ETA was, than set the alarm clock on his watch accordingly.

Majora watched with mild interest at Razor messing with his diamond. "Ready for the mission Razor?"
"Yeah, I just wish Sinim and Notesurfer were here."
"Well when they show up it'll be just like old times, eh?"
"Sure, Majora."
Razor looked off, and Majora knew that the conversation was over. He was obviously distressed. "I wonder what's wrong with him." Majora thought, "Well I should get some sleep, it's going to be a long day tomorrow."

Ranger had called his ship to cloak and fly over Carrington as they left. He had it tailing the Dropship as it flew its long path and wondered why it took so long. He had been at trying to talk to the pilot for a while now but was deciding that it was pointless since it always ended with. "My job description does not included putting up with annoying Special Ops people."
Ranger was getting bored and began to hack the computers to make the ETA shut up it had been announcing itself for about an hour every 5 minutes. He had asked the pilot to turn the thing off but had gotten no response at all. He got out his sword and began to sharpen it a bit then decided against it and started to think what exactly he was doin on this ship instead of his own he was sure it was less noisy and it had a cloak so it wasn't exactly going to be spotted. He sure hoped their was a good reason why Carrington had him put on this ship or he might have to teach the old man a lesson for this all.

Razor was worried about Majora. He never told him what he was planning in much detail...if successful, this would change the face of the Skedar Homeworld. He didn't know how this would affect the people's view of Majora as a new leader. He gripped his Magsecs and dropped both of the clips out, replacing them with fresh ones. This gave him an extra bullet already in the chamber in each. This had become a habit, and he urged others to do it as well. His mind drifted to the Black Council as he searched for the things they would need for the mission. Taekshi Haikyo...just thinking about him drew a burning rage deep in his soul.
Haikyo is the one who had hired him for an assassination job a while back...the assassination of Dark181st, who had become quite a thorn in their side. He refused, and a price was put out on his head so large that almost every bounty hunter on the planet would be after him. He was forced to fake his death by going into hiding for a couple of years until the posters faded and most thought him actually dead. Now he'd have his revenge on Haikyo.
Razor found what he wanted in a storage compartment. He took three proximity mines for himself. He grabbed three timed mines and three remote mines. He looked at the rest of the CISOD and made some judgements...
He first looked at N3B. "You snooze you lose..." he said as he shifted his gaze about the ship. He walked up beside Golden Magnum, who was sitting crosslegged playing video games...he got his attention with a swift kick to the rump. After letting Magnum cuss him out, he handed him the three remote mines. "You're gonna need these, you're with me." Magnum replied with a nod.
Razor then walked over to the android, Phife. He knew his was a combat veteran and quite strong. Without saying a word, he handed Phife the timed mines. Phife looked up at Razor and took the mines. Nothing was said...
OOC: ok, we'll arrive tonight, you can all do your final preparations in your posts, but we enter in mine, k?

The General walked through Downtown Toykyo, his contacts had given him an advanced warning that the group was incoming. He had known he would not be able to make it in time to fly over with them so he had decided to wait in Toykyo and get the rundown from N3B. As he waited for the time the jumpship would arive he cleaned his rifle. "Betsy" had saved his life a few times and he knew her inside and out and could strip her down and rebuild her in a matter of a couple minuets blindfolded, with one hand. He sighed and sat back to wait.
