The room was dimly lit, only various screens pushing back the darkness in the room to any degree, and in the center of it, a figure seated in a chair, various cables leading from her to large servers visible just beyond the screens.
A closer examination revealed the figure to be a female spider, who seemed almost catatonic.
So sat Anansi, the Hacker Queen, upon her throne... and she was searching... for the rest of Fini's lackeys. It was as if some of them had just... vanished.
"Just WHAT is going on here..." The voice didn't come from the girl, although it was indeed her voice. Instead, it came from speakers built into the chair.

 From elsewhere in the base, Lance, whom had been sitting in the recreation area concentrating intensely on a racing game, paused and looked up at the ceiling in an annoyed fashion when he heard Anansi's voice blare over the room's speakers. Yeesh, that girl and her god complex. "What the hell are you talking about, woman?" he snapped back in response as he unpaused his game. He never ceased to feel like an idiot whenever he found himself talking to the air like that. |

 "Great. The one person who answers is you." Anansi sighed as she looked over the data again, then answered. "Well, I seem to have lost track of a good portion of our group. It's as if they've dropped off the face of the earth, in fact. So... what's going on?" |

"Yeah, I am pretty great," the wolf smirked as he kept his focus glued onto the television screen, "Uh. Portals, other dimensions or some weirdo shit like that. What, you didn't see the naked squirrel or the robot in here earlier?" |

 A crackle came over the pair's communicators. "I do hope a couple of someones aren't using unessacary power after I specifically told them NOT to during the duration of this operation?" |

"You never told ME anything." The spider's voice was annoyed, but she began disconnecting from the mainframe even as she spoke. "I'm expecting a full explanation when I get dressed." |

Lance scrunched his mouth when he heard the other wolf's comment. "Psh," Then he went right back to concentrating on his game. |

And then Lance would suddenly find his screen going blank...quickly followed by the lights going off. |

Anansi was not amused. She came out of the mainframe room, rather unamused as she began seeking out Inari. as she was walking, she was also pulling her shirt on, hoping she didn't run into that pervert, Lance, on the way. "Idiot. Turning the lights off while I'm still in there. The only lights IN that room are the screens!" |

Speaking of that pervert? "HEY!! YOU BASTARD!"That would be him screaming out through the darkness. |

"If you won't concede to mimimum power then you get NO power." Came Inari's response to Lance. |

Anansi was NOT amused as she walked through the halls, trying to figure out where Inari had holed himself up. Without any power, she couldn't really use the base's systems to locate him. Ooooh, I'm tempted to bite that Inari on the FACE when I see him! |

" #$%@%$# bastard thinks he owns the whole chaosdamned place, who the $%#@ does he think he is..." Lance continued muttering in a manner of unsophisticated language, "It was just a @#^%$#$ video game!" he suddenly shouted into his communicator. "What the @#%^ are you doing that's so important I can't even play a ^$%#$@% video game?!" |

"So I guess your '^$%#$@% video game' is more important than the master's safety?" Came the reply. Inari was still holed up in the robotics lab. The lights were off in there too since with his eyes he didn't really need them anyway, plus the light from the various computer screens in front of him was more than sufficent. He sat in front of a bank of monitors, the central one seemingly showing some sort of video footage. Beside him, amidst a few quickly cobbled together pieces of some sort of equipment was a tiny pinprick of light hovering between a pair of electrodes. Pointed at this speck was a small transmitter/reciever dish. |

Anansi entered the room in a huff, glowering at the canin in a huff before she noticed the odd setup. "What ARE you doing?" |

Lance appeared behind her not too long after, scowling angrily. He took one glance around at Inari's setup and grunted. "Okay, asshole, just what's going on? No one ever tells me anything in this dump." |

"TRYING to locate our master," Inari said, not looking away from his monitors, "I've had to reroute all base power to keep the minute gateway open to control the robot, that I've reprogrammed, that came with that nudist princess." |

"..." I hate to say this, but I need to get out more, I think.Anansi walked over, looking at the monitors to see if she could make sense of what was going on. "A shame we can't make a portal big enough to get ourselves through... Where do these things go, anyway?" |

To Anansi's question, Lance thought back to that naked princess chick's appearance. In spite of himself, he smirked without offering his input. It was probably for the best that the other two couldn't read his mind. |

And probably lucky that Inari wasn't bothering to look at him. "If you happen to have a spare chaos emerald, let me know," he said sarcastically, "Because I doubt that there is any way to meet the power requirments of such a portal without one. And it should be obvious enough that these portals lead to another dimension." |

"Aside from the fact that I've been talking to one of the two he took along with him?" Inari asked rhetorically. |

Anansi chose this moment to leave, heading back to the mainframe chamber. There has to be an easier way to do this... So I just need to track down some info... And if it happens to ruin Inari's little "project" so be it. He can make another portal later.Anansi was back in the mainframe chamber, her throne room, in a few moments, and had seated herself, wincing slightly as the throne connected its various cables to the spider's I/O ports. Ok... Accessing. Locate transmitter... Transmitter located. Establish linkup... Done.... Now... the hard part.Anansi took a deep breath, her eyes shut tight behind her sunglasses. ... Transmit. Anansi's body went rigid as her consciousness left her body. A moment later, a MASSIVE amount of data went through Inari's jury-rigged transmitter, and through the portal. |

"Whoop-de-#@$%$%@-do. Lemme know how that turns out," the teal wolf snorted. He turned and began to head toward the door. As he was halfway out... in a pure gesture of spite, he flicked the room's lights on. The power immediately blew. |

For one brief second...there was total silence. Then: [glow=red,2,300] "YOU MORONIC SON OF AN UNFAITHFUL MOTHER!!!"[/glow] Inari said in a rage as he whirled around, firing a shot from his arm laser at the back of Lance's head. [dice=6][rand=139724133279292280450416488235324124283584322168967195974291590358] |

[dice=6] The trouble with that was... Lance was already out the door and bolting down the hall.[rand=389903697263216605652331415575917586667724565857186629665389704665] |

There was the sound of rockets igniting, and if Lance would look behind him he would see the terrifying sight of Inari, his eyes and foot rockets the only things visible, with his cloak making him look like a flaming spectre of death as he bore down on the other wolf. [glow=red,2,300] "I'M GOING TO RIP YOU APART AND PUT YOUR BRAIN IN A WASTE MANAGEMENT DRONE...SINCE THAT'S ALL IT'S GOOD FOR!"[/glow] |

"GAH!" Lance shouted as he sprinted. "ENDANGERED SPECIES!" He tripped over his feet suddenly and went flying through the air. ... Straight through a portal. |

Post by Lans on Nov 24, 2007 0:40:10 GMT -5
[glow=red,2,300] "EXTINCT SPECIES!"[/glow] Inari replied, lunging for him just as the portal vanished as quickly as it had appeared. He was very greatful that the lights were out then, as no one would be able to see him go tumbling end over end down the hall after smashing into the floor. |
