Durandal Military Industries Inc.

Hmmm this is the place... Just near the underground lake
*puts c4 and looks down to the lake*
Cell, step back and after I exploded the wall, quickly run to inside.

.... I don't want to wake the aligators at the lake, but this is emergency.

Ready? *steps back 4 meters away*
*presses the c4 remote*

Kei?! I'm Art! Kei's in Berlin, you knucklehead! XD

But yeah, sure. :)

... (sorry I'm thinking too many things at my head)

Okay let's do this then.
*the wall explodes*
*aligators wakes up*
*readying MP5*

Go in, I'll buy time

*dashes in, trying to avoid most bullets*

GOTTA FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM!!! ((Get the reference?))

((my head is full with mess, Cell... can't think clearly))

sigh. we built a base near conservation area for aligators...
*puts the last C4 at the wall near the bathroom*

This will seal the exit and entrance.
*wall explodes and rubbles covers the exit*

Now... where's Raider location...

Raider said he was hiding in a closet somewhere. Just listen for banging noises. He sounds pretty pissed!

*runs off to the computer room*

-Back in Berlin-
Hanz, hows it going over there?
*Kei presses a button on the remote and the screens rotate back behind wall*

*Hanz is at a computer in front of rows of shelvings containing large external hard drives all connected to the PCs*
"Yes Sir, I've managed to hack into the Base's system but this hacker has done quite a lot of damage, I'm rewriting new scripts and overriding the old ones, that have been corrupted or deleted by the hacker. So far I've managed to cut the sentry turrets munitions feed, they only have whats in their loaded magazines now. I'm uploading bug proccesses to the security cameras so they aren't as responsive to movement, at most they'll have a 5 seconds delay before reacting. I'm rewriting some more processes so that the security locks are all unlocked making it easier for the men to access the whole base now."

*Kei gives Hanz a thumbs up*
Good job Hanz, we need to help them as much as we can.

*Kei modiftying a few HMGs for his completed project*

*makes it to the IT room*

Whew! That was actually a little easier than expected. I wonder why?

*sits down at a PC and starts it up*

Let's see...wait, what?

*sees the PC surprisingly fixing itself*

Wait, how is it doi-

...

...you little son-of-a-bitch...

*starts silently tracing the IP address fixing the base*

Got it. Now, to just type it out...done.

*presses a button*

And...send.

*after a while, in Berlin*

Hanz: Sir, it appears as though you've received a message from a "Freedom".

*Kei walks over and read the message*

WHO'S THE FUCKING DEUS NOW?!

Anyway, I already had some files and codes downloaded so that I could try to fix the base. If not, I'd have uploaded a virus that would permanently terminate everything. Now that YOU'RE getting to the bottom of this (spoilsport), what do you want ME to? At least you could have told us what you were planning so I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS TROUBLE! DX

Well...at least I met that cyber cafe girl, so...anyway, what now?

-Back in Berlin-
*nods and reads*
Hmm. . . Hanz move over
*Hanz and Kei switch seats and Kei types on the PC*
"Sir, may I ask what you are doing?"
Just rewriting a few protocols, removing the bug proccesses, reactivating the turret's feed and changing the door's passwords to the maximum 52 characters.

"But, why are you doing this Sir?"

Oh well you see. . . I think they're fine without our help, IN FACT, in fact, I think they're SO capable that they could do this while I made this harder for them.

*retypes program scripts, loads new protocols*

Deum non Esse, du verdammt schweinehund

*sees something new in the PC*

What now?

...wait, what?!

*sees the code reversing everything it did*

*Art looks through the window and sees the turrets reactivating*

Hmm...makes me thankful that personally dismantled the security in this room after that message.

*starts typing new message*

"Real wiseguy, huh? I just said that you could have told us what you were doing so we didn't have to work our asses off in the first place. What do you hope to gain by doing this now?!""

*sends message*

-Back in Berlin-
Ignorant ass, I try to help them out and they just whine
*types on the keboard*

*a voice comes from the next room*
"Oy bro, can you keep it down?"

*a young girl comes out with messy hair*

Oh sorry sis, I'm kinda busy right now

*gets off PC and pats her head*
*she gives a smile and hugs Kei*
"Hey, you wanna go out and get some breakfast?"
*Kei laughs and rubs her head*
Uh. . . its afternoon

"Oh. . . then lunch?"
*she blushes in embarresment*
Yeah, sure lets go, Hanz you want to come with for lunch

*Hanz puts on his coat and holsters his pistol*
"Sure thing, lets go, I know a good place that serves asian cuisines"

*Kei gives his sister a scarf and jacket and nods to Hanz*
Thats good, I was in the mood for some Ton Katsu.

*the three go up the elevator and the PCs automatically rewrite programs and trace the hacker*

...screw this.

*starts downloading the files from the pen-drive to the PC*

I'll just leave it here and let him do whatever the fuck he wants. Just one last message...

*types up another message and sends*

"If you wanna help, then do. But make sure you tell us in advance so that we're not all butting heads next time. Me going to the mainland was just a waste (sort of) if you were already fixing it. Forget it, sorry I ranted. Do what you want now. I'll just wait..."

"P.S. We're a team that needs to work together a LOT. So don't try to keep secrets from us. We don't from you anyway."

-Back in Berlin-
*Kei laughs with his sister and Hanz in the restaurant*
Oh really sis, that must have been a fun day, hahaha

*PDA buzzes and Kei shuts it down without looking at the screen*
So sis, you wanna go to the Connichi anime festival next month?

*His little sisters eyes sparkle*
"Yeah, that'll be fun, can Hanz come as well?"

*Kei turns to Hanz*
Well Hanz what do you think?
*Hanz nods with a smile*
"Sure thing Sir, I haven't been to Connichi since '06"

Thats good then
*Kei smiles and pats his little sister's head*
Well then, Sis, would you like to go in a cosplay?

*His little sister hugs Kei*
"Okay, it'll be more fun, maybe we'll get first place like last year."

-conversation goes on as the food comes-

*stands up and stretches a little*

Well...if he's gonna be like this...

*goes to a corner and sits down*

Not much else I can do.

*takes out a cig and his lighter*

Hope Sandy doesn't mind me taking one of his without asking. I'm not even a smoker, and here I am with these.

*lights the cig and starts smoking*

...if it were me, I'd probably choose Japan as a base...maybe...

*coughs a little*

Man, how are these little fuckers so appealing?

*keeps smoking*

-Back in Berlin-
*Kei reaches for a cigarette only for it to be snatched by his sister*
"Bro, you shouldn't be smoking, it's bad for your health."
Sorry, my bad, I know I quit three years ago
*smiles and pats her head as she throws it out the window*

*Turns to Hanz*
So, Hanz, how has the missus been?
*Hanz gives a sigh and throws away his cigarette as well*
"Well, Sir, she's been okay for a while now. She came back from her safari in South africa last week."
Thats good, tell her I said hi.

*Kei sips his green tea as his sister watches him*
-Kei, his sister and Hanz continue to enjoy their peaceful lunch-

*finishes smoking the cigarette*

Well, there goes a few years of my life. Now, to some real time-killers.

*takes out his Walkman phone and puts on the earphones*

What to listen to...

*shuffles through playlist and stops at a certain song*

Hmmm...this song fits more as a "soldier in a hit bomber plane that's gonna crash, and thinks back to his lover/wife, making her his final thought" situation, but...I guess the shit we're in now DOES have a sort of "final" feeling to it. Why not?

*hits play*

-Back in Berlin-

Hey sis, would you like to go to Japan?
*His sister turns to him with an excited expression*
"Can we?"

*Kei nods and smiles*
Sure, it'll be fun, and when we come back, we'll go to Connichi

*Kei's sister hugs him and Kei pats her head*
"But Sir,"
*Hanz interupts*
"What about Chameleon and the situation at Durandal?"

*Kei turns to Hanz and smiles*
That can wait, I'm sure the boys are capable of holding their own for a few weeks, besides
*Kei pats Hanz's shoulder*
I'm sure after what we've been working on for the past few days, we've done enough work for now. We deserve a break every now and then.

*Kei's sister looks up at Kei*
"When can we leave?"

*Kei nods to Hanz and looks back to his sister*
If you want, we can leave first thing tomorrow

"Yay, lets do that."

Okay then, when we get back to the safehouse, we'll go and pack our bags. Do you remember what I always tell you what to bring?

*His sister thinks for a moment with a finger on her chin*
"Uh, let's see,"
*she counts the list down with her fingers*
"Nice clothes appropriate to the season and weather,"
*Kei nods along as she lists the right things down*
"A sanitary kit, packed with my toothbrush and other toiletries. A first aid kit, in case we get into a bad situation. A tactical knife, to protect myself with. And. . ."
*She stops for a moment to remember the last thing*
". . . ah, that's right, a pistol, in case I need to come and save you."

*Kei laughs at her joke*
And. . . what else about the pistol?

"Make sure its concealable and of a polymer composite, so that nobody will find it on me."

Good girl
*Kei pats his sister and messes her hair around a bit*

Well then, lets get back to the safehouse
*Kei pays the check and gives a generous tip to the cute maid who served them*
"That waitress was cute wasn't she, Bro."
*Kei laughs realizing that his sister caught him out*
Yeah, she was. . .

*after a few hours of doing nothing, Art stands up and walks over to the PC*

Let's see...hmm?

*sees no progress or activity in the PC*

Well, letting us go through with now, huh? Honestly, Kei. Do you have some kind of pathological need to always go lone wolf?!

*plugs the pen-drive in and starts typing, but stops after a moment*

...or do you have trouble trusting just US? Damnit, Kei! We're a team! You don't go constantly ditching your teammates...let alone friends.

*facepalms*

Friends...yeah, right! I doubt he even considered us accomplices.

*continues jacking into the base's AI and uploads the files*

At least he made the job somewhat easier. We'll have to start updating the system from square one again, but at least we didn't have to lose the base permanently.

*finishes upload, causing the base to return to its normal, yet currently damaged state*

Done. Alright, Art. Get your head out of the gutter. Kei doesn't matter now. Gotta get Sandy and Raider in the meeting room and regroup for what we need to do now.

*gets up from the seat and exits the room to find Sanada and Raider*

Keep your eyes on the real target. The bastards who attacked us...

Watch out, Chameleon. You'll regret the day you made an enemy of Durandal Military Industries, Inc.

((Day has been made.))

*Raiders takes a peek outside of the closet he was in after all the light turns back on and miraceously, the turrets do not rip him to schreds.*

*He slowly falls to the ground in the hallway with his back against the walling, sighing deeply. He's still improvising the treatment of his two shot wounds with a rag*

*He catches as much breath in his lungs as he can, pain stinging him from blood loss:* "HEY! F*CKERS! TOOK YOUR F*CKING TIME!!"

*He hangs his head forward, catching his breath again and waiting to be helped.*

Hold on, Raider! I'm coming!

*finds Raider and takes him to the infirmary to heal*

Try to find a towel to bite on. This is gonna sting.

*readies an antiseptic*
