Table Island - Evil lurks!

[Jello Shot Mischa]

::This is Mesa Control Tower:: replies the radio. ::This area is a restricted. Please state your business.::

From the water a pair of patrol ships begin to slink towards the direction of the Heliport and the CTC craft, training their searchlights on the intruding airship. From the helipad, the CTC cam see Chibi and NPCs filing out towards the Mesa, some carrying heavy crates, the rest carrying heavy firepower.

Sammi takes notes of the moving Chibi and NPCs. "Mesa Control, this is Special Adjutant Sammi of the CTC," she says, interrupting the pilot on the comm. "We are investigating unusual activity in this area that may be related to covert operations that have taken place recently within Muffinville and its environs. We noticed that some of your personnel are apparently Chibi, and are thus interested to know whether or not you are affiliated with the one known as Lord Bones. If not, we do request that you identify what authority you are restricting this area under."

[Harri-chan]

As the thrum of helicopter blades reached their ears, the older teenager spun around and tackled her brightly-dressed friend to the ground, causing the younger girl to yelp in surprise as they crashed down onto the ground together, but a hand was clamped across her mouth. The older girl gave her a warning glare, and then tilted her head to look up at the helicopter flew over them.

"I'm not getting caught by another one of these shadowy organisations, you got that? You either start doing exactly what I tell you, or I'm leaving you behind", she said as she got back to her feet. The younger girl blushed as she crawled back to her feet seconds later.

"Sorry, Jenah... ", she mumbled as they continued, moving in single file along the narrow trail.

[Knight Errant]

Dact hrrms a bit... and decided to shadow the caravan to see where they are headed! Doing his best to remain out of the line of sight. o_o

[Blaze]

Blaze spots the patrol coming up from the docks and scowls. Looking around and seeing no cover, shes starts running inland through the brush! Her suit does an effective job muffling her movements and blending into the inky black of night.

The radio is silent for a few minutes or so.... and then,

::This is Mesa Control. You have clearance to land at Heliport 02. Do not deviate from this course , understood?::

The patrol boats begin to sail off in the direction of the nearby heliport (Heliport 02) as if to lead the CTC aircraft over.

*Surfaces out of the water onto a beach, he dramatically rips off his wetsuit in one motion revealing a perfectly dry tuxedo underneath. Which probably looks somewhat insane with the mechanical nature of the wearer..*

The classy anonymous infiltrator finds himself on the Eastern shore, outside a forest of obviously fake Tiki and Moai heads. Up ahead he can find a dirt path leading towards what appears to be an entrance into the side of the Mesa....

Dact hrrms a bit... and decided to shadow the caravan to see where they are headed! Doing his best to remain out of the line of sight. o_o

The caravan goes around the corner of a mesa before stopping outside what appears to be an abandoned shack. One of the Chibi flashes an identification card at a nearby Tiki statue and suddenly the building folks back revealing a secret entrance! @__@

Blaze spots the patrol coming up from the docks and scowls. Looking around and seeing no cover, shes starts running inland through the brush! Her suit does an effective job muffling her movements and blending into the inky black of night.

And so Blaze runs from the oncoming patrol straight into a forest of fake Moai heads! It almost seems as though they are glaring at the pixie Investigator! Fortunately it does seem to provide sufficient cover from all the flashlights that are sweeping the slope in search of her.

As the thrum of helicopter blades reached their ears, the older teenager spun around and tackled her brightly-dressed friend to the ground, causing the younger girl to yelp in surprise as they crashed down onto the ground together, but a hand was clamped across her mouth.

"Sorry, Jenah... ", she mumbled as they continued, moving in single file along the narrow trail.

The slope leads upwards towards the island's plains. Ahead lies the Mesa and a huge swathe of Chibi being loaded on and off from the heliport ahead! Many appear to be carrying heavy crates although some are clearly packing heat! @__@

::This is Mesa Control. You have clearance to land at Heliport 02. Do not deviate from this course , understood?::

The patrol boats begin to sail off in the direction of the nearby heliport (Heliport 02) as if to lead the CTC aircraft over.

"Mesa Control, this is TR-56138, acknowledged." The aircraft changes course to follow the patrol boats in the direction of the heliport, skilfully setting itself down upon the helipad!

[Blaze]

Blaze is immediately suspicious of the Moai heads! Are they just for show or surveillance? She lies a tthe base of one towards the middle, her hair falling across her face to help conceal the glow of her holovisor. Showly, she crawls along as she reaches up to her earpiece and turns a visor.

"Heat-vision... telescopic view... EM vision."

She casts her gaze over the Moai heads that surround her, checking to see if there's anything electrical about them! Of course, she remains vigilant, listening for the sounds of any of the patrol getting close to her position.

[Knight Errant]

Dact... blinks... aha! Secret entrance! He begins to circle the area... planning to wait until they go down, then come up to the shack from behind... the statues are probably cameras... then see about making a entrance.

[Kether]

*heads into the entrance then!*

[Feng]

"Mesa Control, this is TR-56138, acknowledged." The aircraft changes course to follow the patrol boats in the direction of the heliport, skilfully setting itself down upon the helipad!

Outside the Heliport a welcoming party has congregated in anticipation of the CTC's arrival. Curiously these are not the well armed NPC guards patrolling the beach and escorting the Chibi supply convoys; they move about their duties without so much as throwing a suspicious glance.

"Welcome to Table Island" chimes a valet dressed in a green and silver uniform. "The Master has been expecting you. Will you please follow me?"

*heads into the entrance then!*

The man of mystery enters a large square room covered with yellow tiles. The chamber appears to be mostly empty aside from a single salad bar that dominates the center of the room. Judging from the smell lunch is way past expiration...

A single door leads ahead as the door leading back to the beach suddenly shuts and locks up tight!

Voip!

Scanners indicate a huge web of lasers that crisscross through the forest of statues. The investigator's hunch was correct! Hopefully her skills at spy acrobatics is up to the task at navigating through, though. It looks like it will be a tight squeeze through, even for a pixie such as herself....

Dact... blinks... aha! Secret entrance! He begins to circle the area... planning to wait until they go down, then come up to the shack from behind... the statues are probably cameras... then see about making a entrance.

Soon the Chibi enter through the shack giving the Knight a brief window to slip on through while the entrance is still open. Fortunately Dact will be able to take advantage of the statue's blind spot and infiltrate the lair....





MEANWHILE....

Bone's Inner Sanctum

::Sir, we've gotten word that the CTC have docked at the Heliport and have been greeted by Hospitality,:: buzzes the voice of a Chibiwanbanshu operative on a small radio. ::However, our security network has confirmed two groups of infiltrators to the island. One appears to be a single agent who we currently have trapped in Sector C-2. The other group though appears to be connected to the curious wind storm from earlier. While we're not 100% certain we have reason to believe that they represent the Exorcists.::

Bones leans back in his chair, rubbing his chin in thought.

"I was expecting the Exorcists to pay us a visit," he says, tapping his fingers on the table. "Although to be honest their timing is most inconvenient what with the CTC dropping in as well.... This could be troublesome."

::Sphish::

Suddenly the doors to the Inner Sanctum open revealing a mysterious individual garbed from head to toe in concealing black body armor.

"Ah, Mr. Shiv your arrival is most excellent! How was your recent trip to the desert?"

The man stares at his employer silently, not making a sound.

"I see. Sounds like a hilarious story, however I will have to hear you tell me more later, perhaps over tea? Currently we have unexpected guests that need to be greeted properly. Your target is the Exorcist Agent. While he hasn't tripped any of the security sensors at this time, from the direction of the wind storm its safe to say that he'll likely be entering from the North."

*Sips tea*

"Try to take them alive though, OK? I'm certain there is much they can divulge through interrogation later."

The figure nods silently and leaves, presumably to go seek out Blaze. Bones meanwhile presses a button on his desk causing images of the CTC and the nameless spy to appear on his desk. "Now then, what to do with you...."

[Knight Errant]

Well... how can he resist such an open invitation? He goes to slip into the entrance... carefully skirting the statue and remaining as quick and quiet as possible.

A single door leads ahead as the door leading back to the beach suddenly shuts and locks up tight!

the overdressed robot(imagine the Avatar in a suit, its silly that's the point!) looks at the other door, "too obvious.. "he turns and starts tapping on the right wall looking for an area without supporting structures.. finding it he bursts through the wall "OH YEAH!"

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Outside the Heliport a welcoming party has congregated in anticipation of the CTC's arrival. Curiously these are not the well armed NPC guards patrolling the beach and escorting the Chibi supply convoys; they move about their duties without so much as throwing a suspicious glance.

"Welcome to Table Island" chimes a valet dressed in a green and silver uniform. "The Master has been expecting you. Will you please follow me?"

The vertol makes its landing on the heliport's landing pad, and as the rotors slowly wind down the rear ramp opens up. The silver-haired woman disembarks first, followed by the two EDU robots and a squad of CTC troops in full-body armor. As the troops set up a basic perimeter around the aircraft, the woman walks over to the valet, and nods politely at his invitation. "I see. Well, I would be happy to oblige..." she says, before pausing. "I trust the Master would not object if I brought along an honor guard?" she asks, one of the robots and two soldiers moving up behind her.

[Blaze]

Blaze was honestly not expecting that! She was thinking there would be cameras in the eyes or something. With an resolute not, she takes some hair pinks from a pouch on her belt and quickly gathers her hair into a bun, using the pins to hold it into place. Last thing she needs is a stray strand of hair giving her away.

And so she braves the forest of lasers, trying to put distance between her and the partol! Carefully stepping through the gaps, her lithe body only just making it through. She reflects that had she still been a man, this would be nigh impossible, then quickly suppresses that thought.

[Feng]

Well... how can he resist such an open invitation? He goes to slip into the entrance... carefully skirting the statue and remaining as quick and quiet as possible.

Slipping through the entrance the brave Chevalier finds himself in a long narrow corridor full of Chibi moving back and forth on various errands! The minions pay Dact little attention, not nearly being paid enough to take down a fully armed agent without reason....

Suddenly the alarms go off! Oh noes! o__o



Moments earlier....

the overdressed robot(imagine the Avatar in a suit, its silly that's the point!) looks at the other door, "too obvious.. "he turns and starts tapping on the right wall looking for an area without supporting structures.. finding it he bursts through the wall "OH YEAH!"

The robot SMASHES through the wall and just in time; the massive flame jets hidden in the wall just barely miss the droid! He(?) now finds himself in the middle of a Chibi locker room, catching many of the minions there with their trousers down.... LITERALLY.

Elsewhere a criminal mastermind face palms.

"That's the first time I've seen an agent escape the Flaming Salad Bar of Doom (tm) in that manner. Better get the Chibiwanbanshu on that" he says pressing a button to radio in the security desk at the Armory.

Back in the locker room....

The voice from the intercom blares. ::Capture tag issued for the Droid. Repeat, capture tag issued for the Droid::

The vertol makes its landing on the heliport's landing pad, and as the rotors slowly wind down the rear ramp opens up. The silver-haired woman disembarks first, followed by the two EDU robots and a squad of CTC troops in full-body armor. As the troops set up a basic perimeter around the aircraft, the woman walks over to the valet, and nods politely at his invitation. "I see. Well, I would be happy to oblige..." she says, before pausing. "I trust the Master would not object if I brought along an honor guard?" she asks, one of the robots and two soldiers moving up behind her.

The valet staggers back, clearly intimidated by the EDU robots but hastily tries to collect himself. "I'm certain the master will be willing to accommodate everyone present. Right this way please" ^^'' he says motioning for the honor guard to accompany him into a nearby entrance in the Mesa.

With her small girlish frame Blaze manages to navigate through the light show with nary a scratch! At the end of the maze she spies an entrance into the side of the Mesa as well as... another entrance further down!

Choices.... choices....
