Secure laboratory, classified location, USA. 00:07 Jan. 01, 1986

Dr, Kurtis Jenkins, lead scientist and geneticist, laughed with the other scientists involved in Project: Genesis as he raised a paper cup filled with cheap champagne and ushered another year in, for the second time. They had all been involved, in their own ways, with the ongoing success of this project. They’d all been stuck in the secure facility for the past five years, some of them unwillingly, yet most believed in what they were doing. The previous year of the top secret project had produced several new revelations, the most important of which was successfully splicing certain gene sequences to produce desired results.

Dr, Jenkins sipped the foul tasting champagne and moved to his station. He laughed at some off-color joke being recited for the umpteenth time as he peered at results that were being spat from his state of the art dot matrix printer. The jubilance petered out immediately as his chair crashed to the floor when he excitedly stood up. He read the results, looked at the computer monitor, and back at the results. The other scientists gathered around him and whispered to each other at the unbelievable data they were all looking at. This new information changed everything.

Area 51, Groom Lake, Nevada USA. 16:00 Nov. 11, 2009

US Air Force Lieutenant General Louis Fromage and Brigadier General Trent Paulson marched down a stark white corridor toward two Senior Airmen. The two guards saluted the two generals, and one turned to quickly punch a code into a panel. There was an audible buzz, and he pulled the door they were guarding open. The two generals returned the salute and passed through the doorway into another security check.

A Staff Sergeant of the USAF rose to attention, saluting as the two generals entered the room and dropped it after he’d received a return salute. The room was bare except for a small desk and chair the SSGT had been sitting at and another door and security panel on the opposite wall. “Hello sirs”, the SSGT greeted the men, “Dr. Levin is waiting for you past the door. I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to ask you to relinquish your sidearm sirs. General Platt’s orders are no weapons beyond this point.”

Both men un-holstered their Beretta M9 pistols and set them on the desk. The SSGT walked to the door and punched a code into the security panel. After an audible buzz, he pulled the door open and allowed the two men to pass.

Once through the door, the generals found Dr. Levin standing in the hallway. Dr. Levin was a man in his late fifties, with thinning gray hair and wearing gray slacks and a predictable white lab coat. He smiled at the two officers, greeted each and shook their hands. “If you’ll follow me”, he invited the men.

The three walked down a white hallway as Dr. Levin spoke. “Gentlemen, as you know, the US Air Force has been funding an ongoing top secret program code named Genesis at this location. In the later months of 1998, the first successful and fully functional prototype was initiated into the final stages of the Genesis project. Several years thereafter, several more prototypes have been integrated into the program. These prototypes have been housed here, while receiving instruction, calibration, and honing individual design specifications. We’re quite impressed by the indicated results thus far, and I am certainly looking forward to learning of the results of field testing!”

The three turned a corner and continued down a hallway lined with a total of ten doors, five lining each wall. Dr. Levin pointed at the doors as he continued, “These are where the prototypes are secured.” Fromage asked, “Are the prototypes present?” Dr. Levin shook his head, and Fromage asked, “May we see a room?” Dr. Levin nodded and moved to the nearest door. He pulled a ring of keys from his pocket, selected one, unlocked the door, and pulled it open before stepping aside.

The two generals leaned in to look at a sparsely furnished room. It contained a neatly made bed, a chair and writing desk, all of which were bolted to the floor, a bare shelf, and a single crudely drawn picture of a butterfly. Dr. Levin stated, “This room belongs to B99-1903. Um, we call her Jaunt.” The generals nodded and straightened as Dr. Levin shut and re-secured the door. Fromage asked, “What is B9… what is Jaunt’s design function?”

Dr. Levin began walking again and said, “She’s a precog.” He looked at the two, noting their confusion, and continued, “I’m sorry. She’s precognitive. She can see and hear future events.” Paulson asked, “Are all the rooms similar?”

Dr. Levin nodded, and then shook his head. “Same design, but I assume you mean amenities. Jaunt is just… not very caring about material things. There are others that have many more things and decorations.”

The men headed to the end of the corridor, and Dr. Levin began punching a code into the security panel. Fromage asked, “Why don’t you electronically secure them in the rooms?” Dr. Levin replied, “Well… A00-1706… he’s our cyberpathic… um… can manipulate electronic systems with his mind. Anyways, he kept breaking himself and the others out so we had to mechanically lock them up.” Dr. Levin opened the door, as the two generals smiled at each other and stepped through to meet the Air Force’s investments in the flesh.

Kessington Building, New York City, New York, Present Day

Captain Lisken, NYPD SWAT, was not having a good day. He stood in his command unit and listened to constant updated reports from his strike teams, snipers, and negotiators, and closed his eyes as he replayed the last three hours in his head. The first lady had arrived at the Kessington Building to support a fundraiser dinner at 2000. He had been apprised of this appearance, and had taken several precautionary steps in cooperation with the US Secret Service, but at 2030, that an unknown number of individuals had taken several hostages, including the First Lady.

Within fifteen minutes, several audacious demands came from the hostage takers, who seemed to be a very well trained team. They knew counter measures to every trick in the bag to get this situation resolved. They released all hostages except for the First Lady, whom they threatened to kill if demands were not met within four hours. He had thirty minutes left.

He was rubbing his temples as he tried to think of another way to get anything in the building when a report of several black Escalades being allowed entry into the cordoned off zone made him groan. “Great” he muttered, “just what I fricking need. Feds.” He climbed down the few steps onto the pavement, and watched the Escalades driving down the street.

They pulled up by the command unit and the driver of the front vehicle climbed out. He was a tall black man, wearing the typical black suit and tie, and immediately walked toward Lisken. “I'm Agent in Charge Barry Fitchner of the New York Office of the Secret Service. Are you in charge?” He asked.

Lisken nodded and said, “Yes. I’m Captain Vernon Lisken of the NYPD.” Lisken couldn’t believe his ears. Since when did the Secret Service have anything to do with hostage situations? Sure, they were responsible for the protection details of US Government dignitaries, so they had jurisdiction, but to take over this situation was audacious. Lisken was willing to play nice for now. He’d gotten nowhere in two and a half hours. Fitchner nodded and turned. He circled his hand and the doors of the Escalades all opened. The agents that climbed out were nothing like Lisken had seen before.

The individuals were all wearing black BDU’s without any markings or names. Stranger still, they were all wearing balaclavas that concealed everything but their eyes before they climbed out. Six of them moved to the backs of the Escalades and pulled out gear bags. They quickly armed themselves with suppressed weapons and lined up as a breaching stick by the rear of the last Escalade. Lisken scoffed at this. He moved to Fitchner who was speaking to a short female agent. Lisken said, “You’re not seriously considering a breach are you? I haven't briefed you on the situation, our actions… anything.”

Fitchner nodded and handed the small agent architectural plans of the building. She spread them out on a nearby squad. Fitchner said, “I know you mean well, but we’ve been briefed by an inside person. I think we’ll have this situation resolved soon.” Lisken shook his head and stalked off into the command unit as Fitchner walked over to the female agent. On the plus side, any screw up from this point on would be on Fitchner's head, that being thought, Lisken looked to his communications officer and ordered, “Find their frequency, I want to hear this.”

Within moments, Lisken heard a female voice say, “Strike team. Ready on my signal.” There was a thirty second pregnant pause and then she said methodically and without excitement, “Go. Go. Go.” Lisken peered out the command unit and saw the stick of agents quickly move through open space directly toward the front door. It was crazy! These agents were marching through open space, open to any observation, and didn't seem to give two flicks about it. He frowned and looked at Fitchner and the agent, who was resting her hand on the plans. Lisken was further amazed to see neither Fitchner or the agent were even looking at the building. “What the hell?” he asked. He looked back at the building as the stick stopped at the front door.

He heard a male voice advise, “Security system online Mouse.” The female voice advised, “No eyes in control room, you’re clear.” The same male voice immediately advised, “Security system looped. Breaching door.” Lisken looked at his communications officer and asked, "How in the hell did they piggyback into the building's security system? There isn't even an access point?" The officer shrugged helplessly in response.

The female, who Lisken now thought of as Mouse, advised, “Strike team be advised two hostiles in one two stairwell.” There was a pause, and then Mouse advised, “Targets preoccupied with smoking and discussion concerning chances of survival. Clear for traverse of hallway one and two to enter two three stairwell.” There were three minutes of silence before the male’s voice asked, “Mouse. Planned course of entry accomplished. Strike team is standing by in third floor two three stairwell on your signal.”

Mouse almost immediately responded, “Strike team be advised the package is in third room to left from two three stairwell. Package is being guarded by two hostiles armed with P90 sub-machine guns which are currently slung. One sentry is currently in third floor number two hallway. Hold position until advised” There was a momentary pause and then Mouse advised, “Strike team be advised sentry is now in third floor number one hallway. Clear of sentry for one minute fifteen seconds. Go. Go. Go.”

Lisken couldn’t believe anything he was hearing. He looked at the building, and then at the two agents hovering over the plans on the squad’s hood nearby. He watched his watch and at fifty seconds he heard the male advise, “Package delivered. Strike team rapelling out two side of building in twenty seconds.” Lisken looked out at the agents, and saw them stand and “Mouse” began folding up the plans. She walked to the third Escalade and opened the door. Lisken couldn't believe what he saw in the brief moments it took Mouse to climb into the Escalade. As the dome light switched on, he saw another male agent removing his balaclava speaking to none other than the First Lady seated next to him and who looked dazed and extremely confused. Mouse shut the door as Fitchner climbed into the command unit.

Lisken looked at him and opened his mouth to say something, only to be cut off by Fitchner who said, “Thank you for your assistance gentlemen. Once my team is back, I can assure you that the only people in that building are those responsible." Lisken exploded in cursing and demands, which Fitchner pointedly ignored as he moved back to his Escalade, shutting the door. Lisken slammed on the window, still making demands, as the stick of agents returned from around the building. Lisken tried to intervene as he noticed there were now only five. He demanded to know their names, and what was going on, but they too ignored him as they climbed into the front two Escalades, and nearly ran Lisken over as they started their vehicles up and pulled out.

To say he was livid would be an understatement. To say he was baffled, even more so, when later the First Lady made a television appearance to thank the efforts of the NYPD SWAT for her rescue. Lisken had a hunch, called the Secret Service, and of course learned there was no AIC Barry Fitchner.

Welcome to Ghost Squad

You are a member of an elite USAF squad of soldiers referred to as Ghost Squad. You are top secret government property, and don't exist. The reason you don't exist, is you were never born. You were incubated as a genetically engineered adult clone in a top secret laboratory in Montana and transported to Area 51. For the past ten plus years you have lived and trained with other individuals like you, each with an ability differing from your own. The engineering allowed you to access brain function that is either dormant or not evolved in the human mind, but none the less allows you to perform psychic phenomenon. The USAF has classified these phenomenon as follows;

Anti-Psy: The power to negate psychic phenomenon. This ability can be focused to specific target(s), or blanket a general area.

Bio-Control: The power to completely control your own body function. Including, slowing or speeding regeneration, stopping heart rate, breathing, pain response, and so on.

Clairvoyance: The ability to see and hear situations in distant locales.

Cyberkinesis: The ability to manipulate technology and mechanical devices.

Cyberpathy: The ability to access and operate software systems without physical access.

Precognition: The ability to fortell events prior to them occurring (Not accurate)

Psychic Healing: The ability to manipulate healing response to extreme degree (Cure cancer, AIDS, psychic surgery)

Psychometry: The ability to see and hear past events attached to objects.

Pychoportation: The ability to transport self and equal amount of weight from one place to different locale in sight.

Pyrokinesis: The ability to start fire.

Telekinesis: The ability to move objects of varying weights at varying speeds

Telepathy: The ability to read and project thought

The Rules: Of course, all the rules of forum and campfire stories apply. No God mode, no character kills without extremely good storyline (and preferably player's previous permission), base equipment on modern tech and don't forget you're govt. property. Just like the military. You're told what you do, what you own, and how you should act.

Should you choose to play one of these individuals, the rules are simple. You are unique, and only you have the power you choose. (Yes, that means, first come first serve.) The character sheet is as follows...

Name: (What you're referred to as when not an ID. One name without surname)
Power: (Pick one that's not picked)
Appearance: (Whatever your heart's desire)

ID: A98-0606
Name: Boss
Power: Pyrokinisis
Appearance: Tall, about 6'3. Buzzed black hair. He looks around the age of thirty-seven. He has tattoos all on his body, something he calls "art". He the number "666" imprinted on the back of his neck, and an ace of spade on his right hand. He also listens to many heavy metal bands, which he shows by always wearing some sort of band t-shirt, even when in his combat gear.
Personality: Very strict. He is called "the Boss" because he's been here the longest, so he is somewhat the "de facto" leader. However, he only leads due to his skill and being the oldest. He is not the actual leader, and would never make one of the Ghosts do something that they don't want to do or something that would kill them. Also a very, very angry guy.
Bio: He was the first patch of troops in 98. He was one of the only ones that survived. When he was taken out of vat, he severely burned most of the staff working. All the injured were males. He now does what he's told, and leads his troops to the best of his ability.

B00-1607 sat quietly in the rear passenger seat of the Escalade, looking out the tinted window at the night life of the city as their convoy slowly rolled through. Colonel Wirtz, her handler and task force leader for this mission, had told her they were in New York City. She frowned as she searched her memories for any reference to this city. She recalled being tasked to an ultimately scrubbed mission in early September of 2001, that was to take place in this city. She recalled the mission was considered to be too hazardous and likely to fail catastrophically, because she and the other prototypes were not prepared mentally, or physically to perform correctly. She lifted her eyebrows and mentally shrugged the memory away.

New York City was beautiful, and fascinating to her. She had existed for over ten years, and had never seen anything like it in person. The few informational books she was allowed, contained very little in the way of graphics so she had to rely on text descriptions. She felt an odd sensation in her mind, equivalent to hunger, but she had no word to describe it. She decided to ask Colonel Wirtz during their debriefing.

The mission, their first real mission and non-exercise, had gone off without a hitch. The squad had been assembled quickly and efficiently, flown to John F Kennedy airport, and provided details in-flight. It was a rescue mission, and involved a woman the picture was provided for. None of the squad asked for further details, as it was unnecessary flak for mental process. They had arrived, she had directed the squad admirably, and the woman was transported by A98-2810 into the Escalade. The woman was very confused, which confused B00-1607, and asked many questions. None were answered, because it was not allowed. The woman was dropped off at a safe location, and now they were returning to John F Kennedy to transport back to Area 51.

B00-1607 returned her thoughts to the sights, desiring to lower the window to perhaps hear others outside the vehicle. She knew she could easily stretch her perceptions, to do just that but two things stopped her. First, it was very disconcerting to her to be moving and try to stretch her perceptions, but more importantly, Colonel Wirtz advised no unnecessary use of abilities. She sighed and discovered to her chagrin the unnamed hunger in her mind was still there. The squad rolled up to a C-23 Sherpa, disembarked from the vehicles, helped each other with the assembled gear, which they carried into the plane. She sat, and strapped in. Colonel Wirtz told her she did a good job, which caused her to flash a rare smile. It was not often any of the team received praise. She looked out the door at New York City one last time before it was sealed shut for transport.

Boss sat in his room. He wasn't allowed to go out during the last mission. He was an angry man, and usually, they only allowed him out for air, for practice, for drills, and for the violent missions. He sat up from his bed. He looked around.

This room. The only room he has ever felt safe. The walls were covered in posters of heavy metal bands like Anvil, Iron Maiden, Slayer, and Megadeth. There was a desk in the other corner with a black Mac, pens, paper, and other stuff. He had a bookshelf that contained many different articles of literature, including Dante's Divine Comedy, the Illiad, and Beowulf. Near the door, he kept his weapons in a case. Most of them were shotguns, as Boss believed in superior power more than speed. On the other side of the door, he kept a dartboard for his throwing knives.

He was allowed to phone members of Ghost and his handler. He was twiddling his fingers and looked towards the little desk next to him. It had a lamp, a picture of Boss and his handler, and a phone. He picked it up and dialed in a number. It rung.

"Colonel Wirtz, what's shaking? Can I talk to Mouse?" he asked. Out of the members of Ghost, Mouse was his favorite. She was quiet, but always curious. He liked her, though he would never admit it. He enjoyed talking to her, as he counted her also one of his cloest friends.

A00-1706 slouched in the rear driver's side seat of the Escalade. He had his eyes closed for two reasons. One, he was trying to re-experience what it had felt like to actually use his abilities in a practical situation, rather than having to do another exercise in Area 51. Two, being around B00-1607 always made him nervous, although he couldn't explain why...he knew he wasn't a great shake in social situations, but no one else made him nervous. Although Colonel Wirtz had directed them not to use their powers at all besides the job, he idly switched his perception over to the car traveling next to them. A man in the front passenger seat had a computer, and just for the heck of it, he hacked into it's mainframe. He learned a lot about the man, what he did, and who he was in contact with. It was mildly interesting, but he soon lost interest. Still, he couldn't help but smile slightly...it was all too easy to do that...the computer barely had a decent security system...A00-1706 longed to hack into something truly challenging, but knew it would never be allowed. He scowled slightly, and his eyes flickered beneath his eyelids...why were they treated like animals? He had intelligence...perhaps greater intelligence than any of the scientists who created them...why did they think they could lock sentient beings away? A00-1706 controlled his anger with the reason that they must know what's best for their creations...perhaps something about the outside world made it dangerous for them...still, he thought, it'd be nice if they'd let us have the leisure of moving around the lab rather than locking us in our rooms.

Sleeping was no comformt for Willy, dreams of some horrific things flashed in his mind. Somehow, a lamp that had belonged to Charles Manson had found its way into Willy's room. When he touched it, things that had been done with it were seen. Very gruesome things. Doubtless, there were worse things connected with Manson, but no lamp should have to go through what that lamp did, no human should have seen it. But Willy did, early in his existance, when he still didn't control his powers fully. Now, the only time Willy doesn't control his powers is right when he wakes up.

Like now, his hands resting on the seat of the Escalade, flashes of its building, a couple affairs, general transport, once a bloody body, their trip to New York in it, and, what was going on while he was asleep, nothing really. As suddenly as the flashes started, they stopped. "I didn't know this vehicle was connected to a murder," Willy said to nobody in particular, in that slow moving voice, almost bored sounding. It didn't matter anyway, not their job to deal with a mafia job. They were at the Super Sherpa though, thankfully, time to get back to his domun domorom, maybe request the Triumph of Death or The Ravensburger Schutzmantelmadonna, just to see if they could get it.

Time for takeoff, everybody was in the plane, they went up, and Willy tried falling asleep again. It didn't work, so instead, he drew a patch for their unit, if they ever needed it (probably not). It was based off of the 1st Infantry Division, instead of the big red one, it was a little green one, complete with antennae, descending from a flying saucer in the desert. It wasn't a bad drawing, though Willy wasn't an artist.

B00-1607 sat quietly in her seat in the C-23 Sherpa rocking gently in the seat as the plane flew through a patch of turbulence, as she observed the other prototypes. Whatever thoughts she had, were her own, as her bright blue eyes settled on each individual for several moments. She looked over as Colonel Wirtz yelled, "A98-0606 is calling for you!" over the roar of the twin engines. He held out a satellite phone. She took it and held it up to her ear and frowned. She shouted, "What?" several times before advising Boss she would have to talk when she returned as she couldn't hear him over engine drone.

She handed the phone back to Colonel Wirtz and rested her head back against the cold fuselage as she closed her eyes. She was jolted awake as the Sherpa touched down on the air field of Area 51. It taxied to the warehouse the squad was secured in and slowed to a stop. Colonel Wirtz advised the squad to gather equipment and disembark. B00-1607 picked up two gear bags and waited her turn to climb down the exit ramp. She fell in step beside A00-1706.

"You did an excellent job leading the breach Trace. I doubt the success we had would have occurred without your leadership. I will tell this to your handler at the debriefing." She entered the warehouse, where they were met by their respective handlers and several members of the military police force. There was nothing out of the ordinary about this, and all knew it to be protocol. Security was always extremely tight, and seemed to be more so when they were involved. She dropped equipment where informed to do so, and moved toward an office with a large table with chairs surrounding it. She sat where she always sat and listened to debriefing information.

The mission was deemed successful, and there was another already in planning stages. B00-1607 did compliment the entire squad in the implementation of the previous mission, specifically noting A00-1706 as a keystone to the mission's overall success. The squad was dismissed, and escorted to the mess hall. B00-1607 chose the spot she always chose and sat. The prototypes, of course knew all the other prototypes, but seldom were they ever all located in one place at the same time. Training, calibration, and implementation was squad level, and B00-1607 could not recall a time the entire compliment of prototypes did this as one cohesive unit. Mess was the only place she saw all the prototypes collected in one spot.

She wrinkled her nose at the meal of the evening. It was the usual, high protein, high carbohydrate, low sugar meal they always seemed to serve. B00-1607 was well known amongst the prototypes to have what could only be described as a terrible sweet tooth. B00-1607 was also known for her only and now famous openly rebellious act of refusing to comply to any directives until she successfully received a special compensation of unfettered access to a weekly ration of hard candy. It was usually gone within the first day of receipt, but she always shared easily with the other prototypes, if they acted quickly enough from when she received her weekly stipend. They had to act fast if they wanted any chance of a special treat before she consumed it all.

This rebellious act, of course set off similar acts from each prototype, and some were successful at accessing things denied the others. B00-1607 sighed, propped her head up by resting her chin on her hand, and picked at the meal.

Boss sighed. "Damn planes engines," he said, "Screw it. Time for mess anyways."

Boss got up and stretched. He went to his wardrobe and threw on a pair of black jeans, sneakers, and grabbed his chain. It was a biker chain for a wallet. He kept it for two reasons. In case any of the guards pissed him off, he could choke them to death. He also kept it because it was the first thing he was given to him as a kid. He put it on his jeans and grabbed a studded belt. He put it on then walked out the door. At the base, he was known for being the psycho. The tattoos were just a way of showing fear in other prototypes like himself. He loved adding a little scare factor.

He walked passed security. They didn't bother him. Last one that did was put in the medical ward for almost a year. He walked into mess. He grabbed his food. He walked past the other tables. The other prototypes looked at him. He didn't care. He had earned his respect as a squad leader. If fear added to that respect, good.

He sat down at the back table across from Mouse. "How was the mission?" he asked with a smile.

B00-1607 looked up as A98-0606 sat across from her. She nodded and said, "I'm sorry I couldn't hear you over the engines of the Sherpa. The mission was successful. It was in a place called New York City. The target was a woman who was being held hostage by seven hostiles. A00-1706 did very well in his leadership role. He was able to breach security monitoring the building, and led the squad into the room being occupied by two hostiles and the target. After neutralizing the hostiles, A98-2810 used his ability to psychoportate the woman and himself into one of our transport vehicles." She forked another morsel from her plate and slid it into her mouth.

After finishing her bite, she said, "During our debriefing, we were advised another mission is in the planning stages. It's actually quite exciting I believe. I'm sorry you weren't asked to join the first mission away from Area 51, but perhaps that won't be the case this next time." She flashed one of her rare smiles, before taking another bite of her meal.

Touchdown! Area 51! That mental thought was all the excitement they would get out of Willy tonight. He was tired, and he wanted his painting and statue. Past the entrance, through the halls, into the debriefing room. Callooh callay! Hip hip hooray! Praise was spread around, some due, like on Mouse, who guided the mission, some not, like on himself, who had just sat around in the car, having not slept in 4 days, along only to observe and be watched. After the briefing, Willy went to his handler. "Joanna, I want the Triumph of Death for my room," he requested to Lt. Col. Joanna Wilkinson, his hander (were they pets of the government? Yes, Willy was a government dog.) "It's a very nice painting, and would probably help me sleep."

Joanna laughed, an annoying, if friendly laugh, and shook her head. "Sorry kiddo, can't do. It belongs to Spain. Can't get it." Willy shrugged, too tired to argue at the moment, and walked over to the mess hall, where everybody else was. Looks like the firebug was talking to mousey, again. Anything there? He wasn't the telepath, so he didn't know. Only guesses. He took his food, a very loose term here, and sat down at the unoccupied table. He was too tired for talking.

One bite of his food, again, a loose term, and he spit it out, it tasted horrible. That was enough. He didn't care how tired he was, Willy would get real food for the protos. He got up, where two guards tried to stop him. "Get out of my way. This is a hunger strike," Willy told the two guards, his bored sounding voice had some more vitality in it. They didn't move. "Don't make me report to the general what you do with that baton of yours." Willy pointed at the right guard, a big guy, who could probably kill Willy with ease, but at the mention of the batan, allowed him to pass. The other guard gave him a questioning look, but nothing more was said. Willy got to his room, closed it, and sat down at his desk, a piece from the Palace of Versailles of the Sun King Louis XIV.

5 minutes later, a list of demands were written on the outside of his room door. The note, written in handwriting akin to the Devil's Bible, read thus: I demand three things. 1st, real food for the pets (prototypes). 2nd, The Painting The Triumph of Death as made by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. 3rd, the statue of Ravensburger Schutzmantelmadonna. Payment to you will be my eating agian. If you do not agree, I will die of hunger and dehydraiton. Willy

A00-1706 had mumbled a "thank you" to B00-1607 when she had said she would ensure the handlers knew of his key role in the mission. He appreciated the gesture, but he felt it was unnecessary. The handlers wouldn't treat him any differently regardless of what role he had done. He was an experiment to them...nothing more. At mess, he sat alone as he always did. He didn't mind being isolated, but he vaguely wondered what the others talked about at mess. He saw A98-0606 talking to B00-1607, and wondered what they were discussing. He looked down at his "food". Unlike most of the other prototypes, he didn't object to any part of their lifestyle. He ate his food indifferently, then left the mess hall. He returned to his room, where he sat down and started thinking again about why they were treated so poorly. He contemplated this matter every day, but could never find an answer that satisfied him. He vaguely wondered if anyone would stop in to talk to him, then dismissed that notion. He wasn't exactly popular among the other prototypes...he did his job, and did it well, but he never really talked to any of them...

"It's fine really. I'm a psychopath remember? Me in a big city, I'd burn it all down," he said with a chuckle. He took a bite of his food and swallowed. The food sucked, as usual, but he got used to it.

"Also, it's fine about the engines. Don't worry about it Mouse," he said with a smile. I smile too much in front of her. I'm a psycho remember? Jesus, I'm getting soft he thought to himself. He took another bite of food and then asked after swallowing the food down,"So any news on the next mission? I'm dieing to blow something up." He gave a big grin. Explosions were the one thing Boss loved more than everything. Well, not everything.

Micky was finishing maintenance of his weapons. He didn't have many of them. Just a Colt 1911 pistol, a SIG 550 assault rifle, an M110 SASS sniper rifle and a Barret M82 anti-material rifle (though he doubted he could ever use it in action). He assembled the pistol after greasing it and put the weapons into a box and the box under his bed. He started his computer with the intention playing some Starcraft 2 before going to dinner. Micky liked to mess around with his laptop. He said that he "enchances" it. This time he had obviously messed up. The computer didn't start. "Guess I'll go have to bug Trace once again," Micky thought as he headed to to the mess.

As he entered, Micky observed the room and didn't locate located Trace. Micky grabbed his meal and headed towards his table. He quickly finished the food and headed towards Traces room. As he opened Traces door Micky used his best charming smile as he addressed Trace: "How are you today." By the looks of Trace the smile wasn't working. Trace looked kind of sad. But he always looked sad. Without waiting for a reply Micky continued: "Anyway I messed up my computer again. Do you mind fixing it?" Micky didn't give up with the smile. He must've looked pretty stupid by then.

She shook her head as she finished the last bite of her meal. "No. We were only told that the mission was in planning. But, that's exciting isn't it? This last mission was off the cuff. What do you think a legitimate mission would be?" She collected her utensils and dishes and arranged them neatly on her tray.

"You know? You may want to ask B99-1903. She may be able to answer that." She stood and nodded at Boss and headed over to the mess line to return her tray. She looked at the other gathered prototypes, finding it strange for a few moments that it was rare to see them seated together. All prototypes trained to various degrees together, but when it was not something task specific, they usually opted to be apart.

She headed down the hallway toward housing. She lifted her hand in a small wave at the two senior airmen guarding the doorway to the hall. One of them punched in a code, and pulled the door open for her. She entered the housing unit and went to her door. She pulled her door open and walked into her room.

Her room was mostly tidy. Her bed was made, but her desk was cluttered by sketch paper and various colored pencils. The walls were covered in crudely drawn pictures of animals and landscapes, which could be found within a ten mile radius, about the limit of her abilities, of Area 51. She pulled a sketch pad from underneath her mattress and chose several colors from her desk. She laid on her bed and propped the pad on her bent knees. She flipped through to a blank page and began to draw things that had fascinated her in New York City. She frowned as she realized she'd forgotten to ask Colonel Wirtz about mind hunger.

"A legitimate mission? I'd get to destroy stuff. No rules. No regulations. Just pure destruction," he said with a smile.

As she walked away, he said goodbye. She probably didn't hear him. "Forget it," he mumbled. He finished his food and got into the line. Everybody let him cut pass them. They didn't want to stop him. He put his stuff in for cleaning and walked back towards his room. The guards let him in and they slammed the door behind him.

Boss went to his table and picked up the phone. He called his handler, Colonel Gabriella West, who was supposed to have descended from some famous gunslinger from the Old West.

"Hey Gabby," he said. He was very polite to her. If anything, Boss could say he loved Gabriella. But, he was a soldier. And a monster. It was against regulation.

"Whatsup Boss?" she said to him with her beautiful voice.

"Can you get me a pass for training? I needa vent," he said. His way of venting was blowing stuff up. Only way he knew how too, besides hurting people.

"Sure thing Boss. Anything else?"

"Umm...no. Nothing," Boss said.

"Ok then. Talk to you later then."

She hung up. Boss put down the phone and sat on his bed. He put his hand in a fist and put it under his chin. He closed his eyes and thought.

(OOC) To add an element of direction, I have decided to also play 'Jaunt'. This will help facilitate storyline, I also believe if future events unfold as I think they will, this character will be important.

_______________________________

ID: B99-1903

Name: Jaunt

Power: Precognition

Appearance: Jaunt is incredibly tall, standing at 6'10", and she is very slender. Her eyes are pale blue, her skin is very pale, and she maintains her stark white hair in a short cut. Her hands, arms and legs are willowy and elongated beyond what is considered norm, to the point that when standing with her arms hanging at her sides the tips of her fingers easily rest at her knee level. Her shoulders are permanently hunched forward, and her back is curved slightly to her right, making her appear to always be twisting in that direction. She often has a haunted look about her.

Personality: Jaunt is very friendly to the prototypes who choose to approach her, but like most, will keep to herself and rarely approach others. She is not at all friendly toward her handlers, or any of the other Area 51 personnel.

Bio: B99-1903 was created in a batch that had a genetical mishap. Due to this mishap, she suffers from Marfan's Syndrome, which can easily be detected in her physical appearance. She was nearly recycled, which is what happens to all clones that do not exhibit superior psychic results within six months of incubation, but showed an incredible penchance for precognition. Because she foresaw her destruction and thereby saved herself from it, she has never trusted any scientist, handler, or Area 51 personnel since. Sheer will to survive is the only thing that motivates her. She differs from the other prototypes in that she only rarely is seen on training maneuvers, and none of those exercises have ever been physical. Most prototypes don't know what she does, but it's often behind locked doors and away from the others. If asked, she does not share. The 98 prototypes remember when she had vibrant brunette hair, and seemingly overnight lost all hue resulting in her current white hair. Again, she does not share why she believes it happened, but when asked she often can not conceal the terror in her eyes to whatever truth she holds.

_____________________________________

Jaunt entered the housing wing and moved down the hallway with her graceful looking steps. She passed Mouse and smiled at her, but Mouse ignored her as she entered her own room. Jaunt felt no animosity over this as Mouse was one of the less approachable of her friends. She looked down the hallway as Boss entered and smiled at him. She nodded and jumped startledly as he slammed his door after entering his room. She sighed and shook her head.

She stopped at her room, which was across from Boss, and pulled the door open. She ducked down as she entered and sat down on her bed, looking very much like a crumpled daddy long leg. She leaned back against the wall, and allowed her arms to drape along her bed with her hands flopping over the edge. She thought about where the Ghosts were going next, and smiled as she dreamed of joining them on a mission to the outside, if only once.
