"Your call," replies Drone 2. "I'd be more than happy to go in," he adds, happy to fire a gun today.-Mef Man

IC:Ersis began typing up an ad:Ersware.Custom Software.Low Prices.He had reserved a panel just for advertisements, sitting unused. He placed the advertisement into the panel, and waited.

[Wade.]

IC: Drone (Headed to JAIL!)All right then. Don't get yourself killed, you're the one with the hacking skills here, not me. While you'll be busy busting up the inside while escort Aeon, I'll be busy making sure you have a clear exit.

[Relapse]

IC - S&D LibraryHe could see it in Forcyte's eyes. Here we go again..."It will work... eventually. If it works at all,"Forcyte said, frowning in concentration."It's a very circumspect way to try and track these criminals, and I rather think it makes some unfounded assumptions of the Hackers.""'Unfounded assumptions'? Look who's talking," said Matrapolix, smirking.Forcyte's eyes locked on the cyborg's, who were hidden behind the visor. "My assumptions are based on observations and data. But these... with all due respect, these are based on speculation.""Maybe- with all due respect -you assume too much." he replied pointedly."You insist the Hackers are displaying coordination."Matra frowned."No, I really don't." Forcyte's grin became mocking."Hardly the case. Look at their actions. Individual viruses that barely scrape the Firewall before being burned to crisps. A few isolated acts of physical violence that, amazingly, harm next to no one. As I recall, the actual assassination attempt on that CEO was carried out by a bounty hunter; I gathered as much from the grade of his weaponry, suited more to a professional killer than wannabe cyberwarrior.""An assassination I prevented without aid." he mumbled."True, occasionally those Hackers will do something particularly devastating; the death of Ion still haunts us all, I'm sure. But attacks of that magnitude are incredibly rare. As such, I feel there is no coordination. If you really wish to deal a blow, we should start going after high-ranking individuals, say... our erstwhile brother."Matrapolix stood up, slamming his hand against his chair."He is not our brother. Besides, how are we supposed to find him?"

IC(Drone 2 talking to Drone arriving at the prison)

"Excellent," he replies before shaking with excitement. His adrenal glands were pumping and his hands were trembling; dying for the feel of a fire arm in his hands. But, not yet. There would be hacking first.Then the killing.The cab starts to get closer and closer to the prison. Drone 2 felt like throwing the driver out and simply driving himself; wanting to will the cab to go as fast as possible. But, they would be there soon.-Mef Man

IC Fulok - Science District - Doing little, if anything at all: Fulok had lost contact with Torch and the others, and the Metal cat he had been chasing had gotten away from him. Without a stable line of communication to Torch, Fulok had been left to resume his wandering, lacking the Toa Techna of Plasma's coordinates. He attempted communication once more, this time thinking the text, and having it type as he thought up his message;'Torch? Are you recieving this message?'-Fulok

They aren't even trying. Mero willed a process into the computer, instantly plugging a decryption to all shown information. Any continuation of code would be decrypted as he worked.

It was only written for a handful of encryptions.access_6b-*1152088337nsTo be honest with himself, Mero was lucky to have gotten into a server running in offline mode. It was even more complicated seeing as the closest server was across the street from him, which was one of the main hotspots for server usage. Nothing too fancy though, just one of the news distribution systems. Probably running in offline mode to detect anybody from changing headlines or something like that. Nothing big security wise either.Nothing like the CKC.But the best part about offline servers, was that nobody could see what you were doing, until you had already did it.WARNING: unauthorized use of serverforce logging off in 15 secondsMero willed code into the keyboard on his laptop feeding from his own brain, which thanks to his element was nearly unlimited. Absolutely full of data.

IC: Vrilni: Housing District (the Glitch Paradox): With Ga'mal, Tain, and Bukaj: "Ah. Yes. This is high-security information, so I will send this directly to Ga'mal's database, if you two don't mind." Vrilni concentrated, broadcasting her message silently."Not too long ago, there was a hacking attack in the section of the Science District where I work. I work as Information Manager in one of Pro Coding's offices, which happens to be located near the CKC and the Technology Tower. Now, when I first came to meet you, I believed that it was a random act of cyber-terrorism, but on the way here I received a news update on my pocket computer about an sudden attempt on CEO Amnchey's life. Obviously the two attacks were coordinated. However, I was able to neutralize the virus on my workplace computer and download its source code onto my pocket computer. My plan is to trace the virus to its point of origin and contact the hacker responsible. The simple nature of the virus shows the hacker to be an amateur, therefore, he or she must be a junior operative of the organization responsible. I intend to ally with this hacker and serve as a double agent to expose this conspiracy to the government of Techna."

OOC: Skarloth, we had it so that Fulok arrived at the S&D Library and was sitting in at the meeting.Also, KNI: conflict between the Techna?! Ohhhhhhhhhh, snap. :PIC (S&D):Forcyte inhaled and exhaled slowly. "...Well, that's your problem, isn't it? You are the one who wants to crush the Hackers, after all."The Toa of Data stood up. "I personally would like to return to hunting the Ghost Program... my projections suggest that if it goes unchecked, it will do us more harm that any biomechanical being could possibly cause.

IC(Ga'mal talking to Vrilni over private coms in the Glitch Paradox)

Ga'mal read over the beings ideas without showing any visible signs of interest, concern, worry, or anything else. She began to write out her reply:"Double agent, huh? Sounds risky, but if it's necessary, then you must do it. But, where do I come in to this equation?"-Mef Man

IC (Central Square):"No answer? Then I'll start at 500 widgets," The Equinox suggested.

[The Dark Chronicler]

IC: (Prison Taxi, likely Death row for him): ADR-3He just hoped he knew what to do. He had to find a prisoner... in a jail... without getting caught... and free them...He wasn't sure he could pull it off, but he would try. And, he had no idea what an ADR was supposed to act like, he had never watched them.

[Void Emissary]

IC: Renen - The Glitch ParadoxRenen was just about to turn in when he noticed a quartet in the corner booth, in a silent huddle. He sighed. All he really wanted to do was go to bed, but duty called.The Matoran walked over to the booth, putting on his best attempt at a smile and said, 'Hello there. I'm Renen, the innkeeper. Anything I can get you tonight?'IC: Emma - Housing DistrictEmma grinned and shook his hand, 'Name's Emma. So, you're sure you don't know what happened?'She glanced back up to the overhang, charred and blackened. Someone or something caused that fire for sure. But why and how, that was the question.-Void

[Blessed Blade]

-==IC: Kairan//Housing District==-"I want to know who did that, and why, myself. I'm a guard, see." Kairan said with a chuckle, as he looked up at the charred overhang.That almost looks like... Kairan said, and looked over in the direction something might have come from if it was a straight line; but only saw a Toa in white armour, and he doubted that he was a Toa of Fire.OOC: Oh the irony. =P

[Wade.]

IC: Sylux (Parallax Inc.)Sylux nodded his head in response. 500 widgets was more than enough for simply getting this person one single hacker. Still, it puzzled him why he was offering so much money for such a small deed.

IC(Drone 2 about to enter prison)

(Ga'mal talking to Renen in the Glitch Paradox)

"We're here," says Drone 2, not bothering to use the private com. The taxi pulls up to the prison and stops, allowing the two to get out. Activating the private com, the Matoran asks,"Let's go over the plan one more time, Drone.""Just a couple of drinks and the special, thanks," replies Ga'mal while looking up from her tablet. "What do you guys want to eat and drink?"-Mef Man

IC (Central Square):"Word of wisdom: find a good one, or I will be after you," The Equinox warned as they got to his working quarters. He sat on his chair and began to type rapidly on his computer.

IC:Ersis waited impatiently for replies to his ad.OOC:Interaction would be appreciated, if it is convenient.

IC: Mero Kiap "Binate" - Information DistrictAn ad came up. The ad read, Ersware, Custom Software. The fact it read Custom Software interested Binate. Custom made software was usually easy to run, as well as modify if the user had the knowledge. They also tended to sell software regulated chain vendors never supplied. The type of stuff that Mero Kiap was attracted to. Besides, it was a chance to get even more data into his head.Mero turned the corner to walk further down the street. He had an idea. Via text, he broadcasted his message via text, a direct response to the ad."Ersware, I saw your ad, do you have any software for anything broadcasting related? Plug-ins maybe?" Edited January 6, 2012 by MicroSnipe

[Wade.]

IC: Drone (Prison, might get a life sentence) / Sylux (Threatening The Equinox)They got out of the car after paying the cab driver but payed him extra so he'd wait nearby. Once he was gone but still in eyesight, at a safe distance from the prison, Drone went over the plan one more time with his team."Okay, so ADR-3, you're going to go in and find Aeon's cell. The ADR's memory should guide you along the way so you won't have much problems. Cut off her power at the control panel for the cells in her area at precisely 5 pm when the guards are on their shift and then escort her as furthest as possible before you get spotted. It's 4:40 pm right now, giving you 20 minutes. By the time I'm done talking, it'll be 4:45.""Drone 2, you'll be accompanying ADR-3 as a 'prisoner'. Whether you're separated or not, try to stick together or cause some mayhem. You'll help escort Aeon with 3. Before you do all this though, hack into the local and prison surveillance system to replay month-old footage. I'll be waiting here for your signal. I'll cause a distraction, get rid of as many guards as I can and clear a path for you. Once you've made it, we take the taxi and hightail out of here. If they send ADRs against me, I'll just turn them against the prison with my powers. Now go, I'll wait for you to contact me."-Another threat. Sylux snapped this time and pressed his arm blade directly against The Equinox's throat, the plasma-heat burning the skin. "Come after me and I will kill you."

[ObfuscatedCubeEntity]

IC:Ersis received a direct response. "Plug-ins? For what platform? I would like to discuss the details of your request in person, if that's convenient."

IC(Drone 2 talking to others outside of prison)

"Okay, let's go, Three, but let me do this first," he adds while placing his weapons on the back of Vdr-3. "If we're to look convinceable you'll have to hold my weapons. I'll grab them if we need them; now let's go." Into the jaws of Karzhani...-Mef Man

[Oblitus]

IC (Central Square):"Now, now, let's not get hasty here," The Equinox wearily said as the plasma burned his skin, two guards bumping in behind Sylux. "I have no wish to kill you, but time costs money."

[The Dark Chronicler]

IC: (Prison break-in): ADR-3The robot nodded as best he could, following behind Drone 2, seemingly perfectly calm, but terrified on the inside. This was going to be the most dangerous thing he had ever done. Plus, he had never figured out how to use the weaponry yet.He also wondered where his body was, hopefully safe.

[-Toa Lhikevikk-]

IC: Vrilni: The Glitch Paradox: With Ga'mal, Tain, and Bukaj: "I'll have a Vuata Maca salad, thanks," Vrilni replied, speaking out loud. She reverted to telepathy to continue the conversation with Ga'mal."You were the closest hacker-hunter I could find. Your skills would be perfect for this mission."

IC - Matrapolix - S&D Library"So you have purposes ulterior to your original purpose?" he shifted awkwardly."That's just inconvenient.""I personally would like to return to hunting the Ghost Program... my projections suggest that if it goes unchecked, it will do us more harm that any biomechanical being could possibly cause. I know where my priorities are, and I now rather think I know yours. Good day.""So, now your problem reveals itself. You think you know so much..." his smirk was hidden, but he would bet Forcyte knew it was there, "but you're so caught up with details, you hardly have time to know anything at all."He nodded to each respective Toa Techna."As he said. Good day."

The two were now inside, walking toward the front desk."Another prisoner," says the guard. "Take him to the cells and lock him up," he adds allowing them to leave.Lead the way says Drone 2 over the private com.Ga'mal leaned back in the booth and thought over her answer. If this was an undercover mission, then she was insane. But, she could help the being and she wanted to help the being."I'm in."-Mef Man

I don't have soup, and I don't have chicken."She replied to Nikaron with a smile."Yep, this is also a pawn shop."IC: (Prison): ADR-3He moved along, going ahead of Drone 2, following the Guard's command, or so it seemed...There was a problem though. He couldn't access the robot's files, they were coded. and second...His brain implant was in his other body, he had no communication abilities at all, and he couldn't pick up what Drone was sending him.

[Solaris: Electric Sentinel]

IC: Solaris (Public Library)Solaris realized that he had fallen asleep at his desk, again. And with that particular book!Well, at least no one payed much mind to the Toa behind the desk. Kinda depressing how no one bothered with him these days. But oh well. Time to head home, anyways.Kraak (Loitering outside the Public Library)​He saw the librarian exit. The Skakdi shrugged. Probably one of the guys who fell asleep with a book at their desk or something. But he shouldn't enter, yet. That would tend to raise suspicion. So, he didn't know what two plus two was, but he knew a thing or two about how to get away with a crime.Kraak waited a little while longer.

[Let's Henshin!]

IC: NikaronSil growled at Dreenan. Nikaron then patted him on the head. "You'll have to excuse him, he's a bit temperamental." Sil then flashed one claw at Dreenan. "Anyway I didn't say chicken now did I, I said bird, but if you don't have anything I suppose Sil and I could split a burger." Nikaron then switched to the topic he was more interested in, "So as a pawn shop, do you have an parts that could be used to build a form of private transportation?"

[Palm]

IC:Ersis received a direct response. "Plug-ins? For what platform? I would like to discuss the details of your request in person, if that's convenient."

IC: Mero Kiap Binate - Information DistrictBinate thought about it for a moment, should he reveal himself to the dealer? There was a chance he could be recognized. Although it was pretty unlikely. He had never seen the ad before, so there was a chance the dealer was newer to Techna Nui."I can meet you. But it depends on where you are located."

(Drone 2 contacting Drone inside Prison)

Drone 2 was waiting for Vdr-3 to lead him to the prisoner, but it seemed as if he was confused."Drone," he says over the private com. "Three's having some trouble finding the cell, so I need to locate him via hacking. Be ready with the vehicle, just in case it goes wrong."The Matoran walks closer to Three and whispers,"Give me a distraction so I can use my laptop without the guards seeing me."-Mef Man

Then he rocketed off at high speed, slamming the robotic body into the wall. this didn't have pain sensors, but the loud thudding, along with the seemingly malfunctioning robot bouncing around was likely to attract attention.

Ahu blinked, letting its visual correcters automatically adjust, then stepped out of the hibernation tube and exited its small room. It stepped into a hallway, immeasurably long and every metre indentical to the one before. Lit by evenly spaced lights and marked by evenly placed, indentical doors, it was every bit a hard, sterile place.Few occupants minded the austere building, however. Upon entering hibernation, every citizen of Techna had the ability to design their personal quarters. This was an ingenious idea on the part of the designers of the housing district, conserving a great deal of space while giving everyone the freedom to inhabit their ideal living space -though the rooms themselves did not physically exist.This did not make them any less real to Ahu. A large, complicated portion of its code was dedicated to the program's ability to 'think'; that is, to make decisions independent of a programmer. And, according to an ancient philosopher, thinking was equivalent to being. I think, therefore I am. Thus, Ahu could determine itself to be real, despite the fact that it only existed in the miniscule bursts of electricity that operated any given computer. Why then should a room be deemed an illusion merely because it only existed in cyberspace?These thoughts (if they could be called thoughts) lazily occupied two of Ahu's lesser processing modules as it walked down the endless hallway, its feet slapping the floor in an endless orchestra of echoing footfalls. At last it came to a junction, where Ahu turned right without hesitation, walking through two automatic doors that opened at its approach. The sleek metal doors slid apart to reveal the city outside.Techna.OOC: hopefully that wasn't too long of a post. I like to give my charries nice introductions.
