MutantHigh Episode 4: Deadzone

[KitanaVorr]

The government ordered a search of the ruins after the bomb fell and the reports from then have been locked away by the FBI. The area around Atlanta is of limits to civillians but that only makes sense considering the radiation levels.

Katie leaned back in her chair, her feet on the table, her fingers tapping the arm rests. Atlanta...what was going on in Atlanta? Mysterious vampire, a radiated city of mutants, and Reaver's distinct interest. Why did it mean so much to him that he would risk getting caught - got caught at the Pentagon.

Spinning the chair, her own mind twirled in thought as she went round and round. Was there someone in that city that meant something to him? Was it a someone he would risk his life for? A child? A lover? A relative?

Hacking into classified Pentagon files wouldn't do from here. The military operated a separate classified network for their equipment, she'd bet. The FBI, probably the same, but then it wouldn't hurt to do a few probes to see what she could get inside...of course she'd have to be extra careful to pull away at the slightest hint of someone suspecting her presence.

The young teenager smiled at the screen, letting her hands slide along the console to either side of her. With a magnetic twitch she turned the music up full volume.

"Come on, baby. Let's see what this computing power can do for me." And she switched from DNA solutions to focusing her considerable talent on bending the Internet to her will.

"Atlanta...Reaver..."

As soon as Joey releases her the girl jumps up. She spins around and faces Slicer with an angry stare.
"Why are you talking to them? We should have fought to the death! You brought shame on all of us."
Slicer looks a bit lost, being acused from all sides and trying to decide what to answer first but in the end decides to deal with the problem right in front of him first.
"Calm down sister, it is clear to see that these children are not here to attack our realm. Don't you see that they do not even know there they are? And despite our fight they did not insult the sun by killing during the light of day, so they have not commited any unvorgivable crime."
The only result he gets is to make her look even more angry as she screams into his face.
"They attacked us!"
............................
............................
After a moment of silence to let her think about he shrugs.
"We attacked them."
Statsified that at least one person stopped screaming again he adresses the rest.
"You have no idea what you are talking about, this is not just a stretch of jungle. You might be good enough to travel through a few hundred miles of jungle even without equipment but this is the Deadzone. You will be attacked by the Gencons before the end of the first day."
Nymph moves her fingers as a reflex then he says the word, it looks like some kind of sign of protection.
"If you speak about the first race men you travled with, Windwalker, they have been brought to the temple and will be sacrificed tonight. If they truly have not known they are trespassing in our realm King Putayamo can still forgive them. But you would have to speak for them before the sun sets."
He bents over his fallen comrade to see how injured he is and glances at Eris.
"Do you mind telling me what you did to Brighteye?"

I guess we are going to go to this king guy and bust free Domi's friends or something, she thinks with a shrug. "I just hit him, didn't do anything special or nothing. I only hit him once." she says, not bothering to refrain from smirking at Slicer, it was obvious that she didn't have a very high opinion of the Sun Guards.

"I guess we are going togo find this king of yours and save Domi's friends, now lets get moving, we wouldn't want to be late." She says looking around warily for whatever it was that Slicer had said would attack them.

"Then what are we waiting for? I won't allow my friends to be sacrificed to some god king." Domi says, urging the others to get moving, all other thoughts banned from her mind.

at least one seriously injured and unconscious Clair does not listen and just keeps lying there he fell. Half his face is burned from the solarblast of nymph. He is not dying but that about the only good thing about his condition.

 

[Tokiwong]

Joey picks up Clair with a heave, creating water underneath his hurt friend, as a cushioned platform, and using his power, does not lift him off the ground more then sexi inches, but keeps him comfortable, and looks to the others, "He is hurt badly, I can move him this way, until we can find him help."

With her powers Cypher can almost see the armies of tracer programms and hidden viruses just waiting behind the firewalls of the Pentagon. Her equipment is good and her skills even better but what waits there is the best defense nearly unlimited resources and the ability to draw on any registered mutant who might have the slightest talent with computers can give you.

The internet provides a lot of knowledge in itself though. It is possible to find out most about Reavers past and family from there after spending some time to sepperate fact from fiction. There is nothing special about his past. Born as Jonathan Nimayer in New York he joined Delta Squadron at the age of 18 two years after his mutant genes got active. On his free will of course since at that time no one forced you to do anything just because you are a mutant. Also mutants joining the military were practically worshipped as patriotic heroes. His career was almost perfect, if anything he did not advance farther than sergeant because of a lack of ambition and his tendency to try solving problems with the least possible bloodshed. From the rest of the facts it simply looks as if he was a pretty average guy and it is pretty boring to read. There are some stories about women and he had a girlfriend for five years but he never married. The story of Reaver began with the delta registration act. Jonathan was one of the people trying to prevent it since it would steal the basic right from anyone born with mutated genes. They failed and so he became one of the many who refused to sign the papers, thereby declaring himself a criminal. He fled like half a dozen others and like most of them he got caught in the end and shot on the run.
His friends from then are either still with the government (most retired), or have died of old age.
There are no more records about his lifestyle after he began his life as an outlaw and terrorist except for the times he spent in prison. As an alpha prisoner he was kept alone in a special containment chamber for his whole time there.
Concerning Atlanta there is only a slight connection of distant cousin Marc Tyler. There are no records or rumours of any personal connection between the too but he lived in Atlanta then the bomb fell.

oog: your choice if you want to try the pentagon. You are good enough to have a chance.

Slicer picks up his fallen comrade like he was a twig but leaves the axe lying there it is. He looks smiling at Eris and it looks really strange with a mouth like his.
"If you can lead us to the man you only hit once, he can help your frient. Brighteye is our healer."
Despite the attitude around him he still acts like he's got everything under control.
Nymph just stands behind him and glares at each of you but takes special care to seem unfriendly to Joey.

So who are these tossers that have yer wetting yer trousers?"

 

[KitanaVorr]

A slow mischievious smile drifted across Katie's usually angelic face. Closing her eyes, she leaned forward slightly, letting her fingers caress the cold metal and plastic of the computer console as her arms splayed out on either side of her.

What was it about having so much power that absolutely excited her, like riding her motorcycle and pushing the speedometer, flying through the air, the exhilration was intoxicating, arousing, and addictive. No drug could match this. No boy could top that. Although she had never had sex, she was pretty damn certain this had got to top that too.

Katie focused her mind, her energy, her body on one target. The Pentagon...
