[QUOTE="talien, post: 5129024, member: 3285"] [b]Righteous Triad Fists: Part 6 – Insecure[/b] Hammer came up first, sputtering in rage. Half of him was amazed he was still alive. The other half considered how to murder Jim-Bean on the spot, if he could even be killed anymore. Jim-Bean stood, smiling. He was unharmed by the blast. Water streamed in from a dozen places, electrical wires sparked, and computer equipment was everywhere. The other agents slowly rose to their feet. Hammer turned to face Jim-Bean, hands at his sides. It was not a friendly gesture. Jim-Bean smirked as he held up a broken vial. "Looking for this? It was destroyed in the blast. Too bad." It was the vial of BIOSAN-4. Hammer now had no means of stopping him. "Don't be mad, Hammer. We don't have time for this nonsense and that was the quickest way to end the conflict." "End it? You put all our lives in danger! Are you trying to kill us?" Jim-Bean laughed. "If that were the case you'd already be dead." He sighed. "Besides, we're after the book, remember? And I know who can lead us to it. Ho, come here," commanded Jim-Bean. Colonel Feng Ho meekly joined Jim-Bean. "We need to get to the auxiliary bridge." Ho led the way. Hammer, suddenly realizing just how powerless he was, went along. The other agents, dusting themselves off, followed. With Ho in the lead, they were left unmolested by the other crew members, who were no longer interested in fighting anyway. Creaks and groans echoed throughout the ship as they reached the auxiliary bridge. Guppy and Caprice sat down at the controls. "Routing control to auxiliary," said Guppy. Caprice flicked a few switches. "What the…inbound targets, coming in fast." "Oh right," said Hammer. "We called in a PURGATORY strike." "You what?" shouted Caprice. "When were you going to tell us that?" "When you asked your team leader for permission to swim across a minefield!" Hammer barked back. He flicked on his cistron, but got only static. "Can you outmaneuver them?" "Outmaneuver them?" Caprice shook his head. "This thing's on autopilot. It's a nuclear powered sub. Diving fast too." "I think I can change course…" began Guppy. Warning lights clicked on. There was a terrible shudder as the entire vessel groaned. "Direct hit! We're taking on water!" shouted Caprice. Guppy flipped some switches. "Sealing all non-critical sections. This thing isn't going to last long." The lights went out. Then the emergency lights flicked back on, bathing them in an eerie green glow. "All right Ho," said Jim-Bean. "Where's Cho Chu-Tsao and her book?" "She took one of the mini-subs," said Ho. "She said she was going to R'lyeh." "Ril-who?" asked Caprice. Archive's lips were set in a grim line. "R'lyeh," he repeated. "That is very bad news." "Are there any other mini-subs on this thing?" asked Hammer. Ho nodded. "The Wallaby has two Joeys. She took one of them." "Huh, must be Australian subs," said Caprice. "Take us there," ordered Jim-Bean. "Before those Jericho Jets realize they haven't finished us off." [/QUOTE]
