"This is important too," she says with a bit of a growl. As you run off you hear a small scream of frustration, then a door slams.
You get to the War Room without interruption just in time to hear Vince say, "Yes sir. Well, I was feeling fine until I found out that I was about to be turned inside out and exploded. At the moment I would have to describe myself as physically ok but fairly queasy for obvious reasons. I wouldnt be against getting an immediate checkup though......Please? Maybe a trip to see your bro can tell us more." Instinctively, Vince turns to run to the doctors office but the thought of 'popping' while running down the street stops him in his tracks.
"Ummm, Thunder? Do you think someone could give me a ride?"
Johan
"I'm not going to tell anyone, sweetie," Sanchez says. "And it really doesn't matter since being your superior and all I can just order you to tell me," she adds with a grin. "So spill it."
"I'm a mechanic, not a biologist," she says. "Maybe see what Vince or Sanjay can figure out about the claw."
Vince
"Sure, if you want to go there, Trailblazer can take you," Thunder says. "I'll get him to grab his car. Just call him when you're ready."
You click on the other message. The bat icon vanishes, replaced by an image of a familiar looking wing expanding on the screen, being shaken around like it's flapping. It lowers down and you see Split's smiling face mocking you.
"Hey punk, I seem to have something of yours," he says. No further message broadcasts. You are a bit confused, and check to see if there is another message, or this one is just broken.
"You have nothing to say to that, goat boy?" he adds, and you notice that he's watching you and waiting for you to say something. This isn't a message at all! It's a video call!

"If I thought hitting him would help, I'd have done it before I left," Li says as you turn to leave.
Raisa
Master Wen clucks his tongue at you. "Further violence will not solve any problem, nor heal those who have been hurt. And while obviously he possesses neither self control nor the ability to consider consequences of his actions, he is not your enemy. Xi, pull her out," he says.
"None of you will assault Kevin," Master Wen says. "If either of you cannot control yourself in that regard," he says to you and Dara, "I will suggest to Thunder that like Kevin, you are not someone who should be serving in his organization." His speaks in a tone that brooks no argument. "Now, there is much clean-up yet to be done. Raisa, I need you to go to the docks and clean up the remnants of the dock fuel tank and any debris that resulted from it's destruction. Xi will accompany you. Dara, you come with me," he says, striding off at a pace that belies his age.

"Cool, I wonder how he did that illusion." are the first thoughts that run through Randall's mind. "And I wonder why he would leave this message for me?" Randall decides that it might be a good idea to study ARIS' databases for a little more info on Anithos and his criminal cohorts.Calinon said:
A little worried, "access the incomming email please ARIS"Calinon said:

Raisa accepts Xi's hand and with his help pulls herself out of the stockade. She nods reluctantly when he tells her to leave Kevin alone and frowns at the thought of the damage done at the docks.
She stands there for a moment as she watches Master Wen and Dara walk away before turning toward the docks. "Come on, Xi(I am assuming you meant Xi, not Li), let's get the rest of this mess cleaned up."

"Hitting him won't help, killing him won't help, but dammit, regardless of how bad a decision he made, he should still be down here helping us clean this up. Maybe I wouldn't be so angry at him right now if he'd come back to help... I'd have been fine if he'd just stayed to help us immediately," X12 thinks to himself as he starts towards the academy. "He doesn't think... and he needs to learn."

"Sorry about that, thought this was just an email message. Guess I am just so used to you hiding behind your duplicate flunkies that I didnt expect you to try and talk to me directly. How did you get this number? Yeah that looks like my wing. You trying to make a Frankenstein version of me or something? Youve got my blood and a wing, I think I have some toenail clippings you can have. Why not come over here and grab them." Vince glares coldly at the screen.

Sanjay frowns as he enters the War Room. "She could maybe be a little less selfish," he thinks.
"Uh, is Vince okay?" He asks Thunder. "Uh, nevermind. I just got a message from Sandstorm's dad. Sandstorm's missing! He said he was tracking him with some kind of tracking device to make sure he would be okay, but now he's lost him. What are we going to do!?" he asks, trying his best to keep his panic to a minimum.

"Well, he is a wizard, duh," Tara says. "He can probably do all sorts of amazing things," she says with a sigh. "I'm going to get something to eat for Hoppy before he eats all my other flowers," she says.

ARIS opens the email from Monica.
"I'd love to come over," he says. "But I wouldn't want any goat boy parts exploding all over me," he smirks knowingly. "Now, before you do explode, listen up. I want that girl back, and I have a some information to trade for her. Something involving certain blood samples, and a man named Afifi," he adds, that same cocky smirk on his face. "You get me my girl, I'll give you the information; simple as that," he says, setting your wing down in front of him. "I'm keeping the wing, though," he adds tauntingly.
Johan
Sanchez rolls her eyes. "I wonder if it just maybe could be the girl that we have locked up in HQ?" she says. "Hey, Anna, does this look close?" she asks, handing Anna a pad with a plan that looks significantly like a targetting sensor you caught a glimpse of in Lockheed.
"Pretty much, but I think you have some of the wiring backwards on the fourth connector set," Anna says, looking it over quickly before working on her suit again.
Sanjay
"General Nomusu contacted you?" Thunder says. "ARIS, bring up the message." ARIS brings up the message that the general sent you and Thunder reads it over. "I guess Sandstone was right; things are happening in Africa that are larger than we knew. He said he might have to vanish for a while to investigate properly, and it looks like he's doing just that," he says with confidence. "He'll contact HQ when he can, don't worry. It's only been a few days. So what you are going to do is get ready for your own mission tomorrow, and let Sandstone do his job. The last thing he needs if he's sneaking about the ALF is us poking our heads around looking for him," he finishes, returning to a report he was reading when you came in.

The mess isn't as bad as you thought it might have been. One of the three long docks has collapsed into the shallow water of the bay. The fuel tank fell away from the docks thankfully fell away from the docks, but collapsed onto a wharfside bar. The damage is minimal; it appears to be one of the few stonework buildings, but the fuel tank is resting on top of the building precariously. You can see the burn marks where the fire started, but was snuffed out by Nova.
"Well, do you want to climb up and get the tank? Maybe it's salvageable. If not, I can just disintegrate it," Xi says.

You still feel weak and sick as you make your way up to the academy, but you do so without interruption. Entering the courtyard, you hear a roar and shout from dojo with Jackal in it. "What the hell is going on!? Where is everyone?"

ARIS opens the email from Monica.
Jeeze, took me forever to get access to my internet email account. Dad took away all my computers and won't let me even use the phone! He really doesn't like mutants I guess. Sucks to be him. So when can we get together again?
Oh and hey, did you see if any of your schoolmates wanted any P12? The girls and I are whipping up some batches this week if you need some.
Whatever you do, send your messages here, not my normal email address!

"Yes, sir. I understand that he needs time to do what needs to be done, whatever that is. And I know he's going to do his best to get to the bottom of it, I just can't help but worry when he disappears like this. If no one has any contact with him, how do we know everything is going okay?" Sanjay sighs, the question is rhetorical, he knows he needs to be patient. "But I'll focus on my job, boss, count on me," he adds, his trademark smile flashing back on.
He leaves the War Room and heads back to his room. "Um...hello?" he says tentatively, looking to see if Monica is in there.
