Hard Drive... and a New Meaning for "Out of Body Experience"
<T-BoneSK> ::scrubs at his face with one hand, flying with the other::
Need sleeeeeep....
<RazorSK> why did ya stay up late watching Scaredy Kat then?? ::is
checking the systems etc::
<T-BoneSK> It was an 80 hour marathon, okay?
<T-BoneSK> Anyways.. Is your new... thingie calibrated yet?
I hear the couch calling my name.
<RazorSK> ::siiiighs, never could get it why T-Bone liked the show::
It's not a thingie it's an APG-71 digital radar/fire control system....and
it's almost online.....
<RazorSK> BTW, I don't hear any couch calling your name....
<T-BoneSK> It's not for your ears.
<T-BoneSK> ::wakes up a bit:: So, what's this system do?
::this is a part of the TurboKat we're talking about it - it's in his baby
- he's interested::
<RazorSK> ::siiighs:: Whateva!!! Like the name says, T-Bone... Fire
Control System...a new and improved one...this one is much more advanced....and
the radar is crystal cleal picture for over 500 miles..
<T-BoneSK> ::nods to it all... his mun never studied radars,
but he should know exactly what it is, being a trained pilot::
<RazorSK> I modified it a bit....::sheepish grin::
<T-BoneSK> Don't you always?
<T-BoneSK> ((::chuckles:: Methinks they'd never use Speed
of Heat in the city.... ))
<RazorSK> Welll.....::Extended pause:: Not nearly...the control
stick is still where it was 5 years ago..
<RazorSK> ((LOL....but what if?? <T-Bone> ::does a flyby near
Feral's chopper, it and Feral are both crisp:: <Feral> You blasted SWAT
Kats!! <T-Bone> ooops..))
<T-BoneSK> I'll remind you I had to fight for that. But, T-Bone,...
this one's better... I can calibrate it to... ::mimicking Razor::
<RazorSK> hey it would look better near the HUD anyway....... ::expert
on designing...:: at least I didn't forget it when I build it...
<T-BoneSK> ((<Razor> Don't mess with me, man... I'll
have you flying this bird with a lawnmower's gear shift.))
<RazorSK> ((LOL.....))
<T-BoneSK> ::sniffs:: I'm hardly concerned with how it *looks*...
::unless you're counting that shine on the outside, he's rather fond of
keeping that::
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> say thanks I didn't put a wheel in there...
<T-Bone> ::holds up the wheel:: oh yeah??? what the heck is this then?
<Razor> uh, the gear shift...? ))
<T-BoneSK> ((<Razor> Look! I'm working with salvaged
parts here! <T-Bone> Knew that when I realized these buttons came
off a blender...))
<RazorSK> ::doesn't say anything...::sure buddy whateva... ::is
typing away on the new system, trying to get it online:: crud don't tell
me I forgot to plug the thing in....::gets it online:: BINGO!!
<RazorSK> ((LOL.....))
<T-BoneSK> ((<T-Bone> And, where'd you get the basis for the
first targeting scope? Looked suspiciously like Atari graphics to
me...))
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> it was handdrawn okay,,,...!!!))
<T-BoneSK> ::arches a brow at that one:: Heaven help us if
he forgets to connect something important... like a fuel line...
<RazorSK> ::fells like smakin' him:: when did I forget *that*?
<T-BoneSK> ((::dies, imagining Razor drawing his own little graphics
and scanning them into a computer to put in the systems::))
<T-BoneSK> I said if! Geez, Buddy... You're touchy this morning...
<RazorSK> you were the one that went "the closest gas station is
only a million years away"
<RazorSK> ((precisely!!! :) ))
<T-BoneSK> It was. ::thinks someone got up on the wrong side
of the bed::
<RazorSK> I was up all night working on this inlike some others.....
::puts extra emphasis on the work others::
<T-BoneSK> ((<Razor> ::later, when testing... finds that T-Bone
drew some too... as a stick figure dances across his targeting scope...
and is hit by crudely drawn missiles to splatter all over the screen::
T-BONE!!!!!! This is sophisticated equipment! Not, see me make
my own episodes of Scaredy Kat!!!!))
<RazorSK> ((DEAD))
<T-BoneSK> Hey! ::holds one hand up:: I helped you with
the engines, helped load the missiles, and refueled. I'm a pilot
and a mechanic, not a genius engineer.
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> wait the guy got my new radar!!! waaaaaaaaah
that took me months to assemble from an old toaster parts!!!))
<T-BoneSK> ((Old toaster parts... ::dies!::))
<RazorSK> and you also managed to drop one on my foot...thanks a
lot....I should remove the TV from the hangar...
<T-BoneSK> Sorry, bud...
<RazorSK> ::grins, knows how to get things his way...just threaten
'im to remove the TV from the hangar::
<T-BoneSK> ::knows he knows, but why not let 'em?::
<RazorSK> hmmm....I'm getting a weird signature on the radar...
<T-BoneSK> Weird? As in... giant monster weird, Dark Kat weird,
or just plain weird?
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> no wait it's just Jessie.. <T-Bone>
weird??? <Razor> ever been going on for months withoug a day off?? you'd
look like that too!!))
<T-BoneSK> ((<Razor> I think Jessie's just weird anyways...
You should see her in the mornings... with her hair all sticking
out.. looks like she's possessed.))
<RazorSK> Well it's an electricity jolt down in sector....::gets
the reading:: 7...looks like HD..
<T-BoneSK> Roger that. Heading for Sector 7.
<RazorSK> ((<Jessie> ::from the T-kat:: I heard that!!! <Razor.
T-Bone> what the?? <Razor> how did you get in here??? <Jessie> T-BOne
here loaded me into the bombay doors accidentally....<T-Bone> oops..))
<T-BoneSK> ::swings the jet around::
<T-BoneSK> ::arrives in Sector 7::
<RazorSK> hmm.. it is Hard Drive...::the new radar one can pick
that up::
<T-BoneSK> ((Sagey wanna be HD?))
<RazorSK> ((<HD> yeah babe!!! come on pick me pick me pick
me!!!! ))
<MatrixSK> ((::DIES!!!!!::))
<RazorSK> ((DEAD))
<T-BoneSK> ((::DIES, Trix!::))
<Sypher> ::is laying on his cot, facing the wall,... mentally
is running several jobs for Jase on the computer::
<Hard_Drive> ((LOL!!))
<T-BoneSK> Where is he?
<RazorSK> he's inna bank where else??
<Jason> ::sorta steps in, heard what happened::
<Hard_Drive> ::issa runnin' through the vault's security system::
<T-BoneSK> Coulda been a Best Buy.
<RazorSK> ((what security system?? ))
<Hard_Drive> ::or zappin...whichever comes first::
<RazorSK> whateva!! we gotta get 'im...
<T-BoneSK> ((<HD> ::zaps into the nearest Best Buy::
Alright! I want a PlayStation 2 and I want it now!!!))
<Hard_Drive> ((::DEADEAD!!! THE FLASHBAAACKS!!! ::means the PS2))
<RazorSK> he's moving out
<RazorSK> ((LOL))
<T-BoneSK> Roger that. ::lands on the roof of the parking
garage by the bank... setting her down neatly on the helipad::
<RazorSK> ::Gets his Glovatrix:: so much for testing..
<T-BoneSK> ::and, yes, he made sure that wasn't a hospital helipad!::
<Hard_Drive> Thank you, thank you! ::as he gets out with de' moola::
You have been of great service! I must go now! ::zaps into the nearest
powerline...towards the roof::
<T-BoneSK> ::sliding his on:: Yeah... No rest for the weary.
<Jason> ::clears his throat a tad:: Sypher?
<RazorSK> just don't drop dead on me...
<Sypher> ::is quietly, eyes are closed, breathing softly::
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> I don't feel like dragging you around
again..))
<T-BoneSK> Wouldn't dream of it.
<Hard_Drive> ((<T-Bone> What're you talkin' about?! I'm the
one who always drags ya'!!))
<RazorSK> 'n case ya do.....I'll remind you of that line..now come
on...
<T-BoneSK> ((<Razor> ::chasing HD, dragging T-Bone::
--huff-- Come back here, you... ---huff-- fiend! Or I'll...
--huff--... I'll... --pant--...&nbbsp; throw T-Bone on you!!!))
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> when I am awake!!! two different things
bud..))
<Jason> ::steps inside:: Sypher?
<RazorSK> ((DEADDEADDIGTHEHOLE))
<Hard_Drive> ((DEADEAD!!!))
<T-BoneSK> ::jumps outta the jet:: Don' worry... The adrenaline
rush'll keep me going! ::flashes him that big grin::
<RazorSK> ::grins back:: lesse how long that'll last.. ::jumps out
ofter him::
<T-BoneSK> As long as I'm being shot at...
<Hard_Drive> ::zaps to de' roof:: Home...::sees the Kats::
Free?
<T-BoneSK> ((<HD> ::gives up immediately when he sees them::
<T-Bone> ::konks out, leaning on Razor:: zzzzzzz.......))
<Hard_Drive> ((::DEAD::))
<RazorSK> okay....I'll keep that in mind.. ::gets a grin that always
scaresz T-Bone,,hey he's the sure shot aint he??::
<RazorSK> ((DEAD))
<T-BoneSK> ::is never scared by Razor... unless he's shooting at
him.. then, he'd be terrified::
<T-BoneSK> ::or not... being scared of your best bud is kinda
hard::
<RazorSK> ::tis what I meant....::
<T-BoneSK> ::sees HD:: Over there! ::fires a net at
him::
<Hard_Drive> ((<T-Bone> ::or whenever Razor grins that "I'm
adding new complicated stuff to the T-Kat and later dating Callie"...THAT
scares him!!::))
<Sypher> ::stays quiet, is in a sorta half-coma biologically::
<RazorSK> ((LOL...))
<Hard_Drive> Can't you leave me alone sometime!? ::zaps into electricity::
<T-BoneSK> ((<T-Bone> ::gives him the "You are not dating
Callie!" look:: <Razor> ::gives him the "How would you know?"
look:: ::my they communicate a lot inna look::))
<T-BoneSK> No.
<T-BoneSK> Would spoil all our fun.
<Jason> ::frowns, then goes to sit by 'im in the next cot:: Sypher...you
awake? :puts a hand on his shoulder::
<Sypher> ::shivers a bit and starts to return to the land of the
living::
<Hard_Drive> You ever thought I'd wanna have some fun!? If it ain't
you, it's that Enforcer she-kat on my tail right now!
<Hard_Drive> ::means Jessie:
<T-BoneSK> Well, aren't you just cursed...
<T-BoneSK> ::keeping the g-trix trained on him::
<RazorSK> ::does the same::
<Hard_Drive> That's the sad part...seems like I always am! ::readies
a ball of electricity::
<Jason> Sypher, if you aren't able to run those programs right now,
don't worry about it...give it rest...
<RazorSK> ::knows what's coming to T-Bone:: get ready ta duck..
<Sypher> ::opens his eyes at last, are somewhat fogged over::
No... It's no problem... Besides, my mind needs something to
do...
<T-BoneSK> ::nods::
<T-BoneSK> ::eyes narrow, whispers:: Let's use Plan B...

::smacking HD and running::))
<Jason> Not with the way you're doing...I c'n tell. ::sighs:: You

<RazorSK> ((DEAD))
<T-BoneSK> Hey, Hard Drive! You couldn't hit the broad side

<RazorSK> ::is tense watching T-Bone and HD waiting fer his sign::
<Sypher> ::shakes his head fiercely:: No... It'd be

<RazorSK> ::fires his G-trix at HD::
<T-BoneSK> ::dodges::
<T-BoneSK> Missed me, missed me - now you have to kiss me!
::eyes narrow:: Do it and die, of course.
<Hard_Drive> Argh! Okay...so mebbe the large target is...::hit by
G-Trix::
<Jason> It's hard, I know...he'll show up, don't worry...
<RazorSK> ::nearly gags at the thought, gets near HD still pointing
the G-trix at im::
<Sypher> ::just nods, feels lost::
<Furklaw> :walks in:: Captain? Lt. Clawson from the Enforcers is

<Jason> ::cocks his head curiously:: Mission needed?
<Furklaw> Not that I know of...
<Jason> ::nods: Let 'er in...
<RazorSK> ((<Jason> another suicide mission?? out of those....))
<T-BoneSK> ((<Jase> Show her in. ::business-like::))
<Hard_Drive> ((::dies::))
<RazorSK> ((DEAD))
<T-BoneSK> ((<Jase> I do believe I penciled her into my schedule...))
<Furklaw> ::nods to Jessie:; Go right ahead.
<RazorSK> ((LOL....))
<Hard_Drive> Alright, alright! You got me.....sorta....
<T-BoneSK> ::waits for him to solidify::
<Jessie> ::smiles:: thanks... ::to Jason:: er...how is Sypher and
Matris doing Capt'n?
<Hard_Drive> But then again, I don't hafta be all kat, right? ::zaps

<RazorSK> sorta? ::cocks his ears::
<RazorSK> CRUD..
<Sypher> ::unconciously starts to pull away from the real world

<T-BoneSK> Double crud...
<T-BoneSK> ::growling::
<Jason> ::sighs heavily:: Matrix is still nowhere to be found...Sypher's....gettin'
there...
<T-BoneSK> ((Triple crud! Quintuple crud!))
<Hard_Drive> Ha ha! Na ya! :my, is he being an annoying guy today...too

<Sypher> ::mutters as though to himself:: Other side of town...
::does know where Trix is to an extent::
<Jessie> ::nods:: Crud I hope Trix's okay...what do you mean Sy's
getting there??
<Jessie> ::hears him:: what was that?
<Jason> ::perks his ears at that::
<Jason> Meant he's...handling it...
<T-BoneSK> ((<Jase> I mean, he's getting to be nowhere to
be found too... He's just not home right now.))
<RazorSK> This is why I hate Hard Drive....
<RazorSK> ((LOL..))
<RazorSK> ::this is why his mun hate's HD too....::
<T-BoneSK> There's a reason to hate them all... We need Sy and Trix
to play his game back at him.
<T-BoneSK> ::aw, but HD's a wuss as a rule!;:
<Sypher> ::doesn't repeat himself, just fades back out of it::
<Hard_Drive> What're ya' gonna do!? Stand around!? I thought you
SK's were faster n' that!
<T-BoneSK> ::starts to move and pauses, grins, crosses his arms
over his chest and stands there::
<RazorSK> I do'nt think we should desturb them now..lets get 'im
..
<T-BoneSK> Don't see why *you're* important enough to care about.
::sniffs:
<T-BoneSK> ::bored look::

<T-BoneSK> C'mon... Of all the supervillains, you're the biggest
weenie... Robbing a bank... ::snorts:: Dark Kat wants world domination...
<Sypher> ::eyes are open, but paling in color::

<Jason> ::spins around to see this:: What in...!? ::goes to Sypher::
<RazorSK> yeah...and I have no idea where ya got the supervillain
label though..first it's ATM"s them banks ..man HD you're even scared of
DK..
<Sypher> ::doesn't even look up at him... just stares at the wall::
<Hard_Drive> Well, all the other occupations are taken! Sue me!
::blasts call of energy::
<T-BoneSK> ((He blasted what?))
<Jessie> ::follows Jason in:: Sypher?
<Sypher> ::makes no response::
<RazorSK> ((...::shrug:: you? Razor? the wall?? Turbokat...sun?
himself?))
<Hard_Drive> ((::smacks hand against her head:: Sends BALL of
ELECTRICITY! argh!!))
<T-BoneSK> ((<HD> ::fires at everything:: DON'T MOCK
ME!!!!!! ::is inna rage::))
<T-BoneSK> ::sidesteps it::
<Jessie> CRUD this is really tough on him now...Sypher...can ya
hear me?
<Jason> :puts a hand on his shoulder, on his forehead..::
<Sypher> ::is still utterly unresponsive, staring thru the wall::
<RazorSK> ::is outta the range:: where did ya learn how to shoot????
<Hard_Drive> ARGH!! :firefire::
<T-BoneSK> Probably practicing on his video game system.
<RazorSK> oooh....angry aren't we???
<T-BoneSK> ::dodges with the least effort possible::
<RazorSK> yeah could be it....
<T-BoneSK> I mean, all geeks live for their games.
<Hard_Drive> ::Pauses, seems to get an evil gleam in his eye::
<RazorSK> ::notes the gleam:: I thik we're getting to him....
<Jason> Sypher...::taps him lightly on the cheek:: Sypher, c'mon...
<T-BoneSK> ::is slightly beneath the T-Kat, leaning on something::
<T-BoneSK> Really?
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> no I just said that only to say it.. <T-Bone>
say what?))
<Hard_Drive> Well, I just remembered...I really can't stay long...::seems
to be staring at a powerline nearby...::
<Sypher> ::looks at him at last.... blue eyes are glowing
faintly... and, oddly, you can almost see the binary data scrolling behind
them::
<Jessie> Capt'n Korat...we have to find Matrix...maybe thats why
Sy's like this..
<T-BoneSK> Must you?
<Hard_Drive> I can't just leave him here... can you...? ::looks
at Jessie::
<Jessie> sure...no problem....
<T-BoneSK> We were just starting to have fun... ::stepping away,
rips open a hatch on the base of the jet partway, blasting HD with Razor's
firefighting foam.. which is also insulated::
<Jason> ::nods, then goes to call out:: Furklaw, we got an emergency...get
the technical expert in here, NOW!
<RazorSK> ::Grins:: told ya we'd need this..
<T-BoneSK> ::and,... it shot cuz it's under pressure... and it's
there and not in the foam bomb cuz... they retrofitted the jet for that
after helping put out some forest fires in the MK Mtns::
<RazorSK> ((<Jessie> oy I'm a techie too y'know!!!))
<Hard_Drive> HEY!!!!!!! :is hit:
<T-BoneSK> Razor! NOW! ::means to fire at him while he's forced
to be solid and still by the insulated foam::
<RazorSK> ::does so::
<Hard_Drive> ::fights to maintain himself in electricity..needs
a faster way out::
<Hard_Drive> ::then notices the T-Kat...::
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> what? <T-Bone> NOW <Razor> what???
<T-Bone> shoot!! <Razor> okay.. ::does so:: <T-Bone> not me!!!))
<T-BoneSK> ((::DEAD::))
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> oops.))
<Hard_Drive> ((::DEAD::))
<Sypher> puts his head down and lays still, eyes still open,
distantly tries to fathom what's happening... knows he's not so reliant
on Trix that he'd go insane without the link::
<T-BoneSK> ::smirks at HD::
<Jason> Lt. Clawon, now would be a good time...::as Furklaw and
Morrison walk in:;
<Hard_Drive> Well...since I have no other choice...::goes electric
with all he's got.. and.....::
<T-BoneSK> ::blinks::
<Jessie> allright..if you say so...::looks back at Sypher, mumbles::
hang in there...
<RazorSK> what the????
<Morrison> ::connect 'im to the computer...let's see what we can
do here....
<Jason> G'luck, lieutenant...
<Sypher> ::is still connected to the comp::

<Hard_Drive> Ha ha!! Who's the loser now? Ha ha!!
<Sypher> ::mind is more in comp than in his physical body:
<T-BoneSK> Oh, cork it. You're stuck in a computer - what're
you gonna do?!
<Jason> Well...can we help 'im out!?
<RazorSK> oh great....
<Hard_Drive> Oh...I dunno...meebbe....::fires T-Kat engines, begins
to go up::
<RazorSK> ((<Razor> oh great..now I got this mug here... <HD>
I resent that!! <Razor> hush!!))
<T-BoneSK> ((::snickers::))
<Morrison> That's what we're gonna find out....
<Jessie> Capt'n KOrat...where do you think Trix has gone to?
<Jason> He said on the other side of town..::means Sypher said it::
<Sypher> ::whimpers softly, then abruptly yells in pain::
<Morrison> Crud...::begins to typetypefast::
<Jessie> hmm...wish I Could've planted a tracer on 'im....
<Jason> ::goes to hold Sypher by the shoulders::
<RazorSK> ::to T-Bone:: he's taken over our systems...
<Sypher> ::is all quiet suddenly... about the same time Morrison
looses control of the comp::
<T-BoneSK> Can he USE them?

back:: Sypher?
<TurbokatHD> ((::dies::))
<T-BoneSK> ((::DEAD::))
<Sypher> Yes?
<Sypher> What happened?
<Jessie> is that good or bad? as him if he's ok..
<Morrison> You okay? How did you get in there?
<Sypher> I'm fine... And, I don't know...
<Jessie> ::blinks:: that means he's losing control of his own mind...
<Morrison> ::frowns in thought:: Do you recall anything that happened?
<Sypher's Body> ::clearly controlled by somebody else with
Sy's mind in the comp... sits up, eyes glowing... no one freak...
is not... too weird an explanation::
<Jessie> whoa...
<Sypher> Beyond my systems shutting down and loosing the ability

going on, can't see from in the comp without his body's enhanced abilities::
<Jessie> ::blinks:: this is definitely bad...I'm going to find Matrix...the
sooner the better.
<Sypher's Body> ::stands and... zaps outta there::
<Jason> That's it...I'm heading out with you. :to Jessie:: Keep
him there as much as you can...
<JasonSK> What happened to his body?!
<Jessie> if you wish Capt'n....
<JasonSK> ((::pauses:: Of all questions to ask..))

<T-BoneSK> ((Well, we hope... Otherwise, Sy's gotta prob...))
<RazorSK> ((DEAD))
<Morrison> He's controlling it somehow...::to Jason:: But
his mind'sinside the computer..
<Sypher> ::types:: What's going on? ::hasn't heard from them
in a few::
<Jessie> crud...this is not good....definitely...we gotta find MAtrix
before we loose Sypher..
<Morrison> ::begins explaning...every detail::
<Morrison> ::to Sy, that is::
<Sypher> WHAT?! ::thinks, then types:: Could it be Dark
Kat? Although I didn't feel any links or foreign programming accessing
me...
<Morrison> ::shakes his head and types back:: It's not Dark Kat....
<Sypher> How do you know?
<JasonSK> :grabs Jessie by the arm:: C'mon!
<JessieSK> yes sir.. ::is dragged::
<Morrison> ::looks at Jason, and sighs:: What about Matrix?
::to Sy, wonders if he recalls 'Trix::
<SypherSK> I.... I can't hear him... period now... I'm...
Back to being an artificial intelligence in a computer... Nothing
more...
<Morrison> Well, they're going out to look for 'im....
<SypherSK> ::thinks, searches, but yes, of course he still has his
soul::
<SypherSK> Good. He could be in trouble too.
<SypherSK> I hope he's not...
<JasonSK> ::gets onto his bike:: We'll go the fast way...you better
hang on, lieutenant...

way outta the system and back into your body...

<JasonSK> ((ROFL!!!))

<SypherSK> But... There's no connection to it...
<SypherSK> I... can't...
<Morrison> Do you know where it went?
<SypherSK> I haven't known anything about it since that moment of
pain... Then, I was just here.
<Morrison> ::sighs, turns to Furklaw:: We've got trouble..........
<JessieSK> Capt'n Korat..any idea where do we go?
<SypherSK> ((<Jase> As I said, we ride with the wind! We go
where it takes us! We... Oh... Well, we should probably head
for the far side of town.))
