<Ire> GM: *outside, it continues to rain*
*** Dias is now known as Dahok
* Dahok sits in the control room, thinking to himself
<Ire> GM: *the control room is particularly disorganized with files and stuff on Ire's desk. It seems he was here most of last night, going over files*
<Dahok> Hmmm..*stands up and walks over to Ire's desk and looks around at some of the files*
* Unoria puts her hand to the window.. "how depressing.."
* Firebird 's chair flips backwards as Dahok passes him, sending Firebird flying across the room
<Ire> GM: *the window cracks*

* Stark looks at Unoria
* Unoria takes a few steps back from the window.
<Ire> GM: *There's some files on Slasher, some hand written notes, files on a 5th Column*
* Dahok looks over the hand written notes
* Firebird stands up, dusting himself off
<Unoria> Weird. *turns away from the window and takes a seat.
<Firebird> ...Ow...
<Ire> Notes: The case is cold, but who wants us out of the way? Dr. Carter? The 7 men who took over? Is this case just a shot in the dark?
* Dahok looks over at the notes on the 5th Column
* Stark crosses his arms
<Ire> Notes: The 5th Column seems to be some terrorist group from the British Zone. Unknown origin. Responsible for terrorist action in Mega City/Vesperton.
* Dahok moves over to the notes on Slasher and checks them out
* Ire steps into the room. His black hair is soaked wet, as is his uniform. He's an uncanny ten minutes late.
* Dahok quickly starts stretching his arms out, like he's yawning
* Unoria nods to Ire.
* Ire nods at Unoria and steps into the center of the room.
* Dahok moves back to his seat
* Stark notes Ire.
<Ire> Apologizes are my tardiness. *pulls out a paper and looks over it* It seems we have an unidentified source wanting to talk to us about Slasher. He's currently at the Wildcat Bar, but sounds like he's ready for flight any minute. Besides the prisoner we took yesterday, this could be our only shot at finding out about Slasher.
<Ire> (for my)
<Dahok> Sounds good...
<Unoria> I'm up for it.
<Firebird> <Sounds like a plan to me.>
<Dahok> Better than sitting around doing nothing.
<Ire> I have a van waiting for us outside. Lets mvoe.
* Ire turns, grabbing a trenchcoat and slipping it on over his uniform. He quickly walks down the stairs.

* Ire drives down the street. Traffic is unsually scarce today.
<Ire> NRP: damn typos
* Unoria watches the water pattering against the side window.
* Stark thinks to himself.

* Dahok slides the side door open and steps out
* Ire opens the driver door and steps back out into the rain.
<Firebird> <Hey, as long as we're here, let's all get stone cold drunk. Maybe it'll loosen us up some. *laughs*>
<Dahok> And you were yesterday?
* Stark steps into the bar.
* Unoria opens her door slowly and steps out.
<Firebird> <...I'm uncomfortable around the campus...> *gets out*
* Ire slams the driver door shut and puts his hands in his trench coat as he walks towards the bar. He walks in. A mild crowd. Not bad for this time of day.
* Unoria softly closes the door and makes her way inside.
<Dahok> You were uncomfortable around Dr. Carter
* Ire looks around the bar, noting Dahok and Firebird out in the rain for a chit chat.
* Firebird heads inside

<Ire> None.

* Firebird sits
<Unoria> Well, since I'm not sure how long we'll be waiting, anybody mind if I get a drink?
<Ire> No.
* Dahok waves for a waiter
* Ire seems rather nonchalant about drinking on duty.

<Dahok> A round of drinks and a pepperoni pizza
<Ire> Waiter: Right away, sir.
<Ire> Waiter: *he walks off to comply the order*
<Dahok> Didn't even ask what kind of drinks we wanted...
<Unoria> I was just thinking that.
* Ire grunts.

* Dahok turns to Unoria
<Dahok> What's so funny?

* Unoria finds herself staring at Stark while sipping her drink.

<Ire> If he is, he's not trying to get our attention.
<Unoria> Maybe he wants us to go to him..
<Ire> We don't know what he looks like, Private Paladith.
<Ire> We'd have to question everyone in ehre.
<Dahok> Am I right?!
<Ire> Girls: *nod*
* Dahok mouth drops
<Unoria> I wouldn't think he would be with someone else, that would narrow it down.
<Ire> Girls: *whisper something into Stark's ear*
<Stark> Something wrong with your car? Alright, I'll take a look.

* Firebird pries at BHM's mind as he leaves
<Dahok> So how do we know who it is?
<Firebird> NRP: Check that, didn't realize I'd scrolled up

<Ire> Lets go back.

* Unoria looks in at the prisoner.. "Just our luck."

* Ire glances at the cameras.
<Unoria> Obviously not.
<Ire> Someone had to kill him.
* Dahok nods
<Ire> And with him goes the last of the leads. We should get to---*his communicator beeps*
<Dahok> Think any of the inmates know what happened?
* Ire takes it out and holds it up to his ear and talks in it.
<Ire> ?!
* Ire hangs up
<Ire> Something's happened at Tikal's office.
<Dahok> What?!
* Ire rushes past the others and down the hallway.
* Dahok chases after Ire

* Dahok pushes his way through the officers and toward the stairs, following with Ire's pace
* Unoria runs through, pushing the officers out of the way.
* Ire moves through the second floor offices and enters into a room where Tikal's office is. The outside room is the secretary's room and he stands there with two other invesigators. The other room's door is partially open. Tikal can be seen leaning face first on her desk. Blood everywhere.
[SOUND]
<Stark> Hrm.
* Ire moves into the secretary's room, his jaw dropping at the sight of Tikal.
* Dahok screetches to a halt seeing Ire's reaction
<Dahok> ....What happened?
* Unoria tries to stop, but runs into Dahok.
* Dahok looks at Tikal
<Dahok> Oh no...
<Ire> <Secretary> I-I don't know. I left during my lunch break at 12:30 .. and I... I came back at 1:00 and ther...there was a DND sign on her door. So I waited until 20 minutes...ago and I ... opened the door and found her like this.
<Ire> GM: *The two officers seem to be taking notes. They turn to Ire*
<Unoria> Jesus christ.... *turns away from the room*
* Firebird barges in, soaked to the bone
<Firebird> <Why the hell did you leave me at the... oh, my God...> *turns away*
<Ire> <Officer 1> It seems like she was excuted with two shots to the head. Whoever the attacker was, she knew them it seems.
* Ire leans against the wall of the secretary's office, covering his face.
* Unoria tries not to get sick, holding her stomach with one hand and her mouth with the other.
* Dahok walks into the Tikal's office and looks around for plants
<Ire> <Officer 2> Plasma burn residue, too. Could be any type of weapon
<Ire> GM: *no plants*
* Dahok walks back to the secretaries office and looks for a plant
* Ire looks one more time at Tikal and steps out into the hallway and slams a fist against the wall of the hallway.
<Ire> GM: *None*
<Ire> <Secretary> W-What are you lo-looking for, sir?
<Dahok> DAMNT!
<Dahok> A plant...
<Dahok> An animal...anything
<Ire> <Secretary> ... funny, there are plants ... but now they're gone.
* Stark is off to the side, thinking.
<Dahok> ....What?!
<Firebird> <...Whoever it was knows us. Well.>
* Dahok turns to Firebird
* Unoria rubs her face, crouching in the corner.
<Dahok> Can you access her mind even when she's...dead?
* Ire leans against the hallway wall.
<Ire> ...Tikal..
<Firebird> <...No.>
* Unoria looks up at Ire.
<Ire> GM: *a man in a uniform walks up. He's obviously higher up*
* Dahok punches a table
<Ire> Man: Lt. Carmichael, please lead your men back to your building. There's someone coming over to see you.
<Ire> Man: Be ready in 20 minutes.
* Dahok looks at the Man
* Unoria glances at the man, but goes back to worrying about Ire.
<Firebird> <...>
* Ire stands up straight, his face emotionless. He gestures at his team.
<Ire> Lets go.
* Dahok looks back around the room, trying to find any sign of clues, a leaf from a plant even
<Ire> GM: *none. Whoever it was cleaned up well*
* Unoria stands up slowly and walks down the stairs.
* Ire follows Unoria.
* Stark heads back ot the building.
* Dahok shakes his head and turns around
* Ire moves across the wet lot back to Building 38. He enters it a few minutes later.
* Unoria walks to their building, slowly, letting the rain hit her face.

* Firebird runs his hand through his hair and heads back to their building
* Dahok makes his way to the other building
* Unoria walks into the building, and walks up the stairs, soaking wet.
*** Hik[AWAY] is now known as Silouette
<Ire> GM: *The control room has been ransacked. All photos, files, and items collected during the Slasher investigation is missing. The only files left behind are those relating to other cases Ire was looking at*
* Firebird walks in
<Ire> ..
<Firebird> <...I think this clinches it.>
* Unoria walks to the 3rd floor.. "SOmeone wants us to stop..."
* Dahok enters the room and looks around
<Dahok> .....Like this isn't obvious..
<Stark> Indeed...
* Ire simply walks over and sits down in a chair.
<Dahok> Whoever wants us out of the picture wants us out bad.
<Unoria> How easy it was to get us our to be drawn from the HQ so this could occur...
<Unoria> NRP: whoops, take that "our" out. :P
* Ire runs a hand through his wet black hair.
* Silouette silently enters the control room.
* Dahok walks upto Ire and whispers something into his ear*
<Ire> No.
* Unoria ruffles her short black purple tipped hair to get the rain out.
<Dahok> Damnt!
* Ire turns to look at Silouette. His eyes narrow just a tad.
<Firebird> <...So what's the plan now, chief?>
* Ire stands up, sighing, looking at a white board.
<Ire> Lets go over what we know before our guest arrives.
<Dahok> Guess this means were off the case.
* Stark sits in his chair.
* Unoria sits on an empty table.
* Ire grabs a marker and writes on the board "Tikal's Death - Between 12:30 and 1:00"
<Ire> Some time between 12:30 and 1:00, Tikal was killed as the secretary went to lunch.
* Stark nods.
<Dahok> ....What about the DND sign...maybe they left fingerprints or DNA on it
* Ire writes down on the board 1:15-2:30 - "At Wildcat's"
<Unoria> Who would have seen people coming/leaving there?
<Ire> Some time between then the prisoner was killed and our room was ransacked.
<Stark> The guards at the gate?
* Ire leans back against the wall as they debate.
<Ire> I doubt our person left behind finger prints or DNA anywhere.
* Stark hrms.
* Dahok puts his hands against his forehead
* Stark looks at Silouette.
<Stark> You were here this entire time.
<Unoria> They took everything else. The only thing I could see someone leaving is possibly a powder, if they wore gloves.
<Silouette> *shakes her head* ...I had a medical today.
<Dahok> Who was the Medical authorized by?
* Silouette pauses to look at Dahok with an odd look.
* Ire looks at the information jotting notes.
<Silouette> ...they tell you when you get one, you don't /ask/ for them.
<Ire> -How did person get in without being noticed?
<Ire> -Who was it that Tikal would no suspect?
<Ire> (not)
* Stark looks at Ire.
<Unoria> Who couldn't be noticed with mounds of bloody objects in hand?
<Stark> Why were you late to the meeting, Ire?
<Ire> Hm? I was handling that call.
<Stark> Do you have material evidence?
<Unoria> Call logs Stark.
* Ire narrows his eyes
* Stark does so.
<Dahok> What about higher ups? Who's all above Tikal?
<Ire> Tons of people. 30-40 people.
* Ire pulls out his communicator, pulling up the call logs. He throws it at Stark to find for himself.
<Silouette> ...one of the 'higher ups', even if they were to blaim, wouldn't do something like this themselves.
<Firebird> <Psions are known for being able to cloak themselves... just tossing out ideas.>
<Dahok> Who do all know that thought this investigation was pointless?
* Stark looks at it.
<Ire> GM: *footsteps can be heard coming up the stairs*
* Unoria hears the footsteps and looks at the stairs
* Dahok grabs the whiteboard and spins it around
*** General_Robers has joined #taw
<Stark> Ire, there's a large gap in the time.
<Stark> There's nothing after 12:15.
* General_Robers is a large built man in his late 40's. His general uniform is well cleaned and pressed. His hair is cut short, military style, and it's aging white. His brown eyes are steeled with resolve.
*** General_Robers is now known as Colonel_Roberts
<Colonel_Roberts> NRP: My bad.
* Ire turns to Colonel Roberts.
<Unoria> BRB: Supper.
<Colonel_Roberts> I am Colonel Roberts, the new supervisor of this unit.
* Dahok looks over at Colonel Roberts
<Dahok> Sir...
* Colonel_Roberts looks at everyone.
<Silouette> ......
<Colonel_Roberts> As of now, you are currently hereby removed from the Slasher assignment. You are instead being reassigned to handle the rather bizzare cases that have been popping up as of late. You will no longer do anything pretaining to the Slasher case. Is that understood? *he goes on without waiting for an answer* As we get the cases ready, they will be patched to you through the computer.
<Colonel_Roberts> If any of you do not like the reassignment of your focus, then come see me within the week to transfer out of this unit. Is this clear?
<Dahok> Yes Sir..
<Ire> Yes, sir.
* Stark nod.
* Silouette nods.
<Firebird> <...Yes, sir.>
<Colonel_Roberts> Also, Lt. Carmichael, you may retain your stake on the 5th Column case and can persue it at your leisure. That is all. You should all ... recollect yourselves from your recent loss.
* Colonel_Roberts turns and walks back down the stairs.
*** Colonel_Roberts has left #taw
<Ire> ...
* Ire sighs and sits back down, slowly.
<Firebird> <Feh. Wuss.>
* Dahok turns the whiteboard back around
* Stark holds his look on Ire, studying him
* Ire is keeping his thoughts in check and his face remains that of someone just contemplating what his next move in a chess game will be.
* Dahok looks at the time trying to figure something out
<Ire> ...clearly ... we've just been put in check.
* Ire leaves off the "mate" though.
<Silouette> ......
<Dahok> Maybe we just feint back for now....
<Firebird> <We haven't been defeated yet...>
<Ire> For now. When you're in check, the only thing you can do is move out of it. And so, we'll move out of check until we have the advantage to take on their queen again.
* Dahok nods
* Ire stands up, grabbing an eraser and wiping the board clean.
<Stark> NRP: BRB
<Ire> You're all dismissed for the rest of the day.
<Silouette> *q* ...or move something else in the way...
* Silouette turns and heads back down to her room to clean up and keep an eye for clues.
* Ire sits down at the main computer, running his hand through his hair again. He sits there like that, saying nothing else.
* Firebird heads downstairs towards his room
* Dahok turns around and makes his way out of the building
* Dahok leaves the 38 building and starts heading towards the building that house Tikal's office
* Firebird flops on his bed and flips on the TV
<Unoria> NRP: Back!
<Unoria> NRP: What'd I miss?
* Ire keeps sitting in the control room. Stark and Unoria remain.
* Dahok enters the building and heads up onto Tikals floor
<Ire> NRP: Read up.
<Firebird> .oO{Maybe I should go do something. Nothing's on but reruns of lawyer shows and Wraith Hunters...}
<Ire> ...given the joke assignment of the century.
* Ire sighs to himself.
<Unoria> ...Lets investigate it anyway.. ?
* Ire looks at Unoria.
<Ire> What?
<Unoria> There's a reason why people are trying to stop us, and there's a reason why they took us off the case. My bets are, they are putting more "professional" people on the task.
* Firebird stops on Wraith Hunters and drops the remote, and yawns
* Dahok heads towards her office
* Ire shakes his head, turning back to some files.
<Ire> Guards: *Stand there. They eye Dahok* Private Fyro, you are not allowed. Leave now.
<Unoria> We started this, and we should finish this... but anyway.... *walks towards the stairs*
<Dahok> I left something in there.
<Ire> Guards: I'm sorry. You are not allowed here.
<Dahok> Bah....Worthless pieces of shit...*turns and walks towards the bathroom*
* Unoria pauses, looks at Ire, then walks down the stairs.
*** Ripple has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Ire stands up, not caring anymore. He grabs a keyboard, rips it from the computer, and slings it across the room at the wall.
<Ire> Damn it all to hell.
* Unoria hears Ire, but continues to walk.
*** Cardinal has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Cardinal
