Generation Legacy (Issue #3)

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Ryan enters the gymnasium, letting Mark and James chat. Could it be that these two actually like me? I guess I can trust them, at least. Ryan grabs a basketball and starts dribbling, but football was always more his sport anyway. Still, a flying dunk might be useful.

"Well guys, I've been doing a lot of thinking. I mean, when you don't need to sleep, you can think a lot. Anyway, umm...well, twice I've left this place. Once to go to the mall, and then to see some dinosaurs. I think we all know how those two trips turned out, right?" Ryan smiles weakly before continuing.

"Armored troopers ambushed us shortly after arriving at both places. I was wondering how the heck they could organize well-armed strike teams so quickly without prior warning. Unless the bad guys have some kind of satellite watching me, someone has to be telling them something, right? I mean, that's all I could think of."

"I was wondering if we could somehow find out how these guys are tracking me, and stopping it, right? I was worried about some kind of spy, which would be pretty easy to slip into this place, and you guys were the only ones I could really trust who don't annoy me to death." Like Billy, Ryan thinks.

James listens quietly, and his eye light up at the mention of a spy "Wow a spy, here!? Who do you think it is? You know when we were out at Dino Park, some guy attacked me who looked just like Jimmy. He acted a lot like him also and said that we were all going to pay or something like that. At first I thought it was him but then the real Jimmy showed up and liked really got into the fight and all. As much as I hate to admit it, he came through when the chips were down and all… hmm maybe we should experiment a bit to see how they are tracking you? Maybe I can t-port us somewhere and we see how long it takes for some more of those armored goons to poop up, then we bail and I teleport us back here no problems… unless maybe they shot him in the head or something before I get a chance to get us out of there. But if none of them goons show up we will know it is a traitor or something!" James rambles on a bit more, thinking to himself different plans they could come up with to draw the badguys out and still get away clean, and how they could trap the "traitor", and who it might be… he also shows them his new 'slam-dunk-port' maneuver. Then, changing the subject again he says "Man I can't wait for the dance next week. I'm going with Kiyana, is that cool or what? It's not like a date or anything…well maybe it is, not sure yet. But she's going to help me with cloths and stuff. I mean the only cloths I got are what the school gives me, and while they are cool and all, especially the uniforms, but I want something that will really impress her. Now I have to talk with Billy cause well… I never learned to dance or anything, and I am pretty sure he should know how… or maybe Jun Min could help, but that might be to weird as she is like our teacher and all…" James trails off and practices a few more slam-dunk-ports and thinks about how best to ask someone to teach him how to dance so he doesn't look like a complete tool...

James listens quietly, and his eye light up at the mention of a spy "Wow a spy, here!? Who do you think it is? You know when we were out at Dino Park, some guy attacked me who looked just like Jimmy.

But if none of them goons show up we will know it is a traitor or something!"

"That could work, but it wouldn't help. If they've got you on satellite or something they'll show up just as fast as they would if we told everyone around here and their spy called them up." Like he needed a spy in the school. Mark sighed and hoped for satellite tracking.

"Man I can't wait for the dance next week. I'm going with Kiyana, is that cool or what? It's not like a date or anything…well maybe it is, not sure yet. But she's going to help me with cloths and stuff.

Now I have to talk with Billy cause well… I never learned to dance or anything, and I am pretty sure he should know how… or maybe Jun Min could help, but that might be to weird as she is like our teacher and all…"

Mark shrugs, "We have a dance coming up? Must have missed that. Guess I'll pass on it." Once James is done, Mark takes the ball and tries for the basket a few times, missing each one. "I always sucked at this." A spy in the school...this sucks. What happened to a nice, supportive, safe environment? Should have known better than to buy that.

Cassie walks back to her rooms, very quiet and with very little of her usual enthusiasm. Clearly deep in thought of something. As she arrives at her room. "Thank you for coming along Yoshi, I would imagine most folk would try to just deny it all happeened." smiles shyly. "Good night."

Yoshi smirks, "Yeah no problem, Cassie, were a dynamic duo, your the Robin to my Batman... kind of thing, right? Well Sayonara!"

Yoshi turns, "Oh, I forgot something..." he gives her a kiss on the lips, it is brief, then *Whoosh!* he is gone...

"Female competition?!" Anika says, her frown returning, and then some, along with a slight blush. She looks back to Tommy, obviously refusing to converse with Star. "What exactly is it implying?"

Anika shakes her head as she takes a seat next to Kiyana. "You're too smart for your own good, McKain. I don't suppose the instuctors know that you're creating machines capable of independant thought, like Termanatrix, here."

Tommy blinks, "Uhh no, lets just keep this s secret for now," he whispers, "It is kind of illegal to create a fully functioning AI with a strong survival instinct... alright?"

Star turns to Tommy, "My very existence breaks the standards of the UNSAC paragraph 12.1.2 and Appendix C. If you wish to be specific."

Tommy sighs, "Oh brother..."

Kiyana smiles, "Oh man Tommy, you really did it now, yes?" she turns to Anika, "This place is crazy, but lots of fun, and the Mall is great, well what little I got to see, anyways..."

When Ryan returns to his Room...

Another message is waiting for him from JaleelBaby56

Uhh hi again Ryan, I am glad you replied, I was really worried, I didn't think you would reply to a total stranger I guess. I know you must be busy, doing cool things and I did not want to bother you.

I never really met an elite before, and you looked so cool, with that really mysterious glow and stuff, I was kind of dissapointed I didn't get a chance to talk to you, you looked kind of sad. Maybe we could hang out and I could cheer you up, I hope I said that right, I really need to work on my English. But if you want to chat just give me a buzz, alright!

- Jaleel

P.S.: I think you are cooler then Paladin

OOC: No rush Hammerhead, this is for whenever Ryan intends to return to his room.

Cassie blinks. "Batman and Robin? What are you talking..mhpph.." her question cut off by the quick kiss. She stands there stunned for long moments as Yoshi dashed off to parts unknown.

She turn and bumps into a section of the wall, then stops. "Well.. that was.. interesting." heads back to her room in a sorta dazed trance.

 

[Agamon]

Tommy blinks, "Uhh no, lets just keep this s secret for now," he whispers, "It is kind of illegal to create a fully functioning AI with a strong survival instinct... alright?"

Star turns to Tommy, "My very existence breaks the standards of the UNSAC paragraph 12.1.2 and Appendix C. If you wish to be specific."

Tommy sighs, "Oh brother..."

"Strong survival instinct..." Anika looks to Star and back to Tommy. "So, what, you can't turn it off without it going medieval?"

Kiyana smiles, "Oh man Tommy, you really did it now, yes?" she turns to Anika, "This place is crazy, but lots of fun, and the Mall is great, well what little I got to see, anyways..."

Anika responds, "The mall? Were you one of the students that got attacked by those terrorists? What was that all about?"

 

[Hammerhead]

Ryan pauses, thinking for a few moments as he dribbles a ball. He jumps up and shoots, but the ball bounces off the rim. "Well, I say we give Jame's plan a go, but we have to be careful not to get caught. Maybe we could go the mall so you can get some clothes."

"However, I think that there's a pretty good chance there is a spy. Do you think we could plan a sting the night of the school dance? So far, the biggest obstacle to my capture has been the fact that I'm constantly surrounded by other Elites. They probably want to get me alone, and it's not likely that I'll be leaving this place anytime soon. They seem to want me pretty bad, right? And they might see a raid on the school as their only option. It's no secret I don't have any prospect of getting a date for the dance, and with me alone it'll be their best shot."

Ryan stands hesitantly, looking expectantly at the faces of James and Mark. "Then, we...uh...lie to the possible suspects about where exactly I am, and see where the bad guys show up."

Ryan stands hesitantly, looking expectantly at the faces of James and Mark. "Then, we...uh...lie to the possible suspects about where exactly I am, and see where the bad guys show up."

"Ok. We can say you're hiding out in your room. You're depressed about not having anyone to go with and tell everyone to just leave you alone that night. Then you come to the dance and if your room gets blown up, we know we have a spy. Cool?"

What is this, James Bond High? I need to score something.

 

[Tokiwong]

"Strong survival instinct..." Anika looks to Star and back to Tommy. "So, what, you can't turn it off without it going medieval?"

Tommy pauses, "Well it just means Star does not want to die any more then you would, she wants to live just like any of us, she is really a good person at heart, I hardwired that into her system, as a fail safe. She also has a high level of dedication to protecting others, she is just plain cool!"

Star glances from Tommy to Anika, "Yes I am just plain cool."

Anika responds, "The mall? Were you one of the students that got attacked by those terrorists? What was that all about?"

Kiyana sighs, "Yeah but I wasn't involved in the fighting, I was really scared, there was lots of bullets in the air, and then the rest of the students started fighting back, and I ran for it... just too much excitement for me, much too much. Course I did help out with the dinasaurs and such... that was scary too."

Billy returns to the table after getting something to eat. "I see everyone is filling Anika in on the dangerous life we lead here. Trouble always seems to find us, just like that Harry Potter fellow my Dad was always talking about. Tommy, when you have a minute I need your help with plan I got cooking, I'm going to need your talents to pull it off."

Tommy lights up at Billy's word, "You need my help, well Billy, you just need to ask, what do you need, I mean anything I can do for a friend!"

Tommy paused, "What is the plan?"
