[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo]Here are the remaining questions. It is time to find out just who would be so foolish as to betray Charles and his glorious vision for OtakuBoards: [INDENT][B]1[/b] - How often have you helped the enemy, and if so why? [B]2[/B] - When was the last time you took a bath? [B]3[/B] - If ordered to jump off a cliff and die to prove your loyalty, would you do it?[/INDENT] Lets get this show on the road. The Beast is hungry for blood.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=Indigo]With the recent change to the site it occurred to me that it might be fun to have an article on the history of different banners used for the site. The only problem I see with such an article is I think it would be more fun if it actually had the different top banners posted in it. So the question is, does anyone have those saved to their computer? Or perhaps we could ask you James to provide them for use in an article about the different versions and look of OB over the years.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]Just about any show that doesn't have long drawn out fight scenes that take episode after episode to get to the end. Romance, comedy, action, etc. So long as the plot moves at a good pace I'll give it a chance. Of course there are some that aren't drawn out and I still didn't like them. But most of them, even if I'll never watch them again I did at least enjoy watching them once. lol In the end I suppose my favorite is comedy since I love watching something that makes me laugh. Like the second season of Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu. That was completely and totally fun to watch. In fact I probably ought to pull it out and watch it again. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]I remember watching Sailor Moon, but now that I have the uncut edition I can't stand to watch the English version of the first couple of seasons. The same goes for Ronin Warriors. Once I saw the uncut Samurai Troopers I've never been able to re-watch the English one. As far as having a favorite though, I would suppose I would have to go with Sailor Moon since I ended up starting to collect art books due to that series. And that just lead to getting more exposure since I was fascinated by how the art style was done. There were others I watched, but none of them were engaging enough that I'd ever watch them again so they'd hardly fall under the title of being a favorite. Not like some of the American ones like Tale Spin, Duck Tales or Darkwing Duck, all of which I could easily consider favorites. [/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo]So far Jared had found next to nothing in regards to what happened to Kerstin and the other student Daniel. But after talking with William last night he had issued the order to round up the two associates he had already secured a confession from. The first one a petty official by the name Andris Raster had disappeared. Meaning it was likely that either he knew or was involved in the affair with Kerstin, or he had panicked and ran. But the second one Van Kaveran had already been picked up earlier that morning and placed in the interrogation chamber. He had not been secured in the chair, but Jared left him there with several security personal guarding him for several hours while he finished up other aspects of his duties required as the second in command of the Creator. By the time he arrived Van was almost beside himself immediately speaking up the moment Jared entered the room standing up from his position of sitting in the chair. "[B]I don't understand,[/B]" he whined. "[B]I already told you what I know about Blaine.[/B]" Jared just walked over until he was standing in front of him. "[B]You neglected to mention that Blaine intended to kidnap Kerstin Anderson as well as a Daniel Timbers.[/B]" Jared shoved him back down, forcing him to sit and leaned over a bit before continuing. "[B]Either you tell me what he's done with them or I'll get that information from you the fun way. By all means refuse to cooperate,[/B]" Jared smiled nastily, "[B]It's been far too long since I've had the pleasure of a full interrogation.[/B]" Van paled, "[B]But Blaine never said anything about kidnapping anyone! He only told me to make the payments for the assassination of Darren![/B]" Van squirmed clearly distressed. "[B]Please! I really don't know anything about a kidnapping![/B]" "[B]We'll see about that.[/B]" Jared replied coldly. It didn't take him too long to get the location of several buildings as well as estates and property that Blaine used under a different name. Though Jared doubted that he would find Kerstin or Daniel at any of them he'd check them just the same. "[B]Throw this scum into one of the holding cells,[/B]" Jared told the security, then he turned back to Van before leaving, "[B]If I find out that you lied to me, you'll regret it.[/B]" Jared left and sent the order for a small squad to be waiting for him in transport room one. It was a pity that there was too few available to hit all of them at the same time. But Stevens had not been kidding when he said he had next to no one to spare. It had taken a good argument just to have the smaller squad at his disposal. Once he had changed into body armor Jared contacted the Transcendence to make sure Kiva knew what he was up to. Then he joined the men and briefly explained what they were going to do. But in the end all five locations he had gotten from Van were empty. There were no signs of a hasty retreat leaving Jared to believe that in the end they had never been considered in the first place. And considering how easy it was to get information from Van, Jared was not surprised. Blaine would have been foolish to use a location that Van knew of. Jared made sure to leave surveillance in place that would let him know if someone did show up. Then once he was done and the men had returned to their duties he forwarded a report to Kiva as well as the access codes to the surveillance he had set up. After all, it was possible that someone would show up. And if they did, they just might have information leading to where Blaine was set up. Jared headed to the weapons locker and changed out of the body armor, then once he was cleaned up he went to talk to Sandra who was currently in her quarters. Jared had not spoken to her since all hell broke lose the other day but he had seen her around and even he could tell that she was furious. When he entered her quarters it was clear that she was still quite angry. "[B]Jared,[/B]" She nodded when he entered her quarters. "[B]What exactly did you need?[/B]" "[B]Not much Sandra, it's unfortunate but the leads I got from Van earlier turned out to be a dead end. I've set up surveillance so we can nab anyone who does show up, but for the moment I'll have to rely more on Kiva since Stevens has most of our computer specialists engaged in other tasks. I'll be doing some checking under the false names that Van supplied, but I seriously doubt that Blaine would have used a name or location that Van knew about and Andris has gone underground so I am unable to question him as well.[/B]" Sandra sighed, "[B]I see, it's a pity but for now those computer specialists are needed elsewhere, though make no mistake. If Kiva had not agreed to help I would have insisted that at least one of them be assigned to help with the investigation. After all those fools are under house arrest so it's not like taking a little longer would have hurt.[/B]" Sandra looked away and then finally turned back to looking out at the view of the home world as the Creator continued it's lazy orbit of the planet. "[B]Besides, recovering Kerstin and this Daniel is more important than worrying about how long the High Council is locked up. They've been coming up with all sorts of reasons as to why Stevens and the others overstepped their authority. It's utter bullshit of course, but it is slowing things down a bit.[/B]" Jared just laughed, "[B]Sandra, most of those arrogant fools are more concerned about being denied access to their more comfy estates than about the fact that some of them are traitors.[/B]" He shook his head as he took the last few steps between then and joined her at looking out at the view. "[B]What are you going to do if one of the traitors turns out to be your father?[/B]" Sandra shot him an unreadable look, "[B]Jared, I don't care if he's my father or not. If he was foolish enough to abuse his position in that manner he deserves to be dealt with. Trust me, I'll execute him myself if that turns out to be the case.[/B]" She reached up, running her right hand through her hair in a nervous gesture that she was probably unaware of, "[B]Besides, I meant it, recovering Kerstin and the other student is far more important.[/B]" Sandra sighed. "[B]If I had known this would happen I would have made Kerstin stay on the Creator. The last thing Darren needs is more grief.[/B]" Jared just raised an eyebrow at that statement. "[B]Ah yes, speaking of Darren I should go and give him an update on the investigation.[/B]" He bowed slightly to Sandra, "[B]Until later.[/B]" Sandra just remained silent saying nothing else. Not that Jared blamed her, after all, even if she didn't get along with her father it would make things extremely difficult for her if her father turned out to be one of the traitors. Still unless he was mistaken, Jared was positive that Sandra's father was not what she was worried about. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo][B]Name:[/B] Vanyel Ashkevron [nickname: Ashke] [B]Age:[/B] 17 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [because you have way to many males in here DB] [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/7489/vanyelashkevronky3.jpg][COLOR=Indigo][B]Vanyel[/B][/COLOR][/URL] [URL=http://themerrymurderess.deviantart.com/][COLOR=Indigo]TheMerryMurderess@deviantart [/COLOR][/URL] [Yes I know the picture has wings...for the sake of the story though pretend they aren't there.] [B]Biography:[/B] Vanyel or rather Ashke as she prefers to be called was orphaned when she was three years old. She does not remember the car crash that claimed the lives of her parents, though she on occasion has nightmares with flashes from the accident. She does not realize that the images are from the crash though. With no other living relatives she was quickly adopted by what she thought was a caring family. At first she was a fairly easygoing child until her abilities started showing up at age six. As a result her adoptive family, a highly religious one, believed that she was ?possessed? and after failing to exorcise the demons from her essentially disowned her by virtue of abandoning her while on vacation. Literally leaving her in the middle of Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. Vanyel wandered the streets of Salt Lake City, Utah for a while before being picked up and eventually placed in foster home after foster home. Many of her foster parents were far from ideal and it was at that point that she started becoming unmanageable. Until finally at age twelve she simply disappeared. Depending on her abilities to survive. Using her tiny bit of control over teleportation to steal food and supplies from stores. In this manner she went from town to town, stealing what she needed until she ran across Esper Hall by virtue of checking it to see if there was anything she could take to survive. [B]Powers:[/B] Vanyel has quite a few powers, from telepathy, teleportation, fire starter, the ability to see far away as well as into the future. She can also heal. However?most of these abilities are suppressed and only show up in a very weak form when she is either stressed or in danger. The only active abilities are teleporting small objects as she has yet to learn to teleport herself or anyone else. Limited mind speech, she?s better at keeping people out of her mind than at actually talking to anyone. And finally fire starting. Of all her active abilities this one is the strongest, though she?s far from being powerful. An important note here, many of her abilities have sub-categories if you will that require mastery of the first aspect to unlock them. Like the fire starting. There is more to it than simply starting fires. Though that's all she knows how to do for now. Also due to her upbringing she has killed others with it to defend herself though she refuses to talk about it. [B]Affinity:[/B] Uncertain, she?s never been in a situation to really find out. [B] Other facts:[/B] Withdrawn and distant as she does not trust easily. Vanyel is fanatical about keeping clean, as she hates being dirty. She also hates being touched by anyone. Vanyel can and will beat the hell out of anyone who tries to get too familiar with her beyond simple friendship. She also hates loud music preferring softer instrumentation such as classical. This is due to the various encounters she had with different gangs while she was on the street as she has negatively associated rap and other forms of rock music with what happened. She?ll tolerate it but if she can hear another person?s music in the middle of the night and they won?t turn it down when she asks them, Vanyel will do it for them by smashing or setting their equipment on fire. She also loves fantasy novels and will spend hours somewhere private to read them.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=Indigo]I'll write one up on [B]The Anime Feud.[/B] I should have it ready for you in a few days.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]Here's my attempt: [CENTER] [IMG]http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/3548/obnewsdi6.png[/IMG] [/CENTER][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo]Jared had not been looking forward to telling Darren about Kerstin, but of all things he had not expected him to collapse. In a way he almost felt stupid. It was obvious how much Darren and his sister Kerstin cared for one another. And due to the circumstances surround Darren's appointment as the shipping expert and the things his father had done, he should have realized it. For Darren, Kerstin was his only family. He had no one else. Jared had tried to make him feel better, but he wasn't really any good at that sort of thing. He was too use to tearing people apart not patching them together. And as he headed back to the bridge and then started preparing everything he had to send to Kiva he wondered why it even bothered him that Darren had been so upset. Jared had no close friends, because in truth no one really liked him. And in the end he had never cared. There were a few people he cared for like Crystal and Sandra, but they were friends nothing more. He had no male friends. Only associates and lovers. And even the latter was usually a means to satisfy physical desires not emotional ones. With a sigh he finished preparing every thing he had on Blaine, all the transactions for cheating his employees, the ones for paying people to assassinate Darren. It was irritating since only a few more days and he would have been ready to arrest Blaine. Then after including a bit that he would be questioning Daniel's friend William and would inform Kiva of anything he learned that was useful, he made sure to include his thanks for her assistance in closing. Then he sent it off. Then Jared excused himself to the observation room to pull up the records of Williams affairs while he waited for him to be brought to him. If Blaine was going after William, which due to taking Daniel too when his men could have simply stunned him and left him there, Jared was certain that he was. And that meant that it was possible that somewhere they had crossed paths. So any information he could get on Blaine would be useful. It didn't take long for Jared to see why Blaine would consider William such a threat and once the crew finally brought him to him and William had taken a seat he quickly filled him in on what had happened. There was no mistaking the surprise in Williams expression when he learned what had just happened. As well as how it was due to Blaine initially being after Kerstin not Daniel that was what got Daniel in trouble. "[B]I see,[/B]" William said. "[B]If I understand you correctly sir, what you are saying is that in truth, Blaine's men were after Kerstin and upon realizing who Daniel was, elected to take him as well. That can only mean that Blaine was eventually planning on coming after Daniel as well. Or should I say me since he is my best friend.[/B]" "[B]Correct, which is why I asked you to come here. I've already looked over your affairs, but I'd like to know if you've had any dealings with Blaine in the past ten years. Anything that could help us track down not only Kerstin but your friend as well.[/B]" William reached up with his right hand and tapped his chin thoughtfully. "[B]Well I do have a good memory for all of the merchants I have dealt with. After all it is my money that has backed a good number of new products. I've also done my share of bidding for contracts as well. Since I'm sure you understand that a fair number of businessmen will go for the same product. The only one that I know of that Blaine was a contender was related to the incident where Daedalus shipping was exposed. Originally Blaine already had the contract but after the scandal the inventor opened up the bidding again offering a new contract for delivering the goods from sector five to sector eight. Since it was a new product, I made a bid for backing it. Blaine did as well. In the end I won since I offered a better interest rate for the merchant in question. I didn't think much of it at the time, but Blaine was extremely irritated and made some comment along the lines that I would regret offering such an absurd rate. I told him to stop being so greedy. It's something I find a bit annoying actually. Some of the rates businessmen like Blaine offer are what's absurd, they make it so any problems result in the merchant going bankrupt while Blaine or others like him end up keeping the money. I tend to offer a good third less than what others like Blaine charge for my backing. As a result it's rare for someone I back to go under and as you can see, making less interest hasn't hurt my ability to make money at all. And merchants are happier when they get a better profit too. It's a good system.[/B]" Jared listened patiently, it wasn't really anything useful, but it did explain why Blaine would go after William. For someone as greedy as Blaine, a person like William would be a real threat, cutting into profits. Or rather into the excessive profits that Blaine was use to. Jared asked him a few more questions, but he was pretty much done. It was pretty obvious that William didn't know anything that would help their search. Both him and Daniel didn't even know Kerstin. Neither one of them even attended the same classes or were on campus at the same time. Kerstin lived in the dorms while they lived in the rich hotel across the street. In the end, it seemed that Daniel liked to have lunch at the cafeteria there from time to time, and that statement fit in with what Jared had seen in the surveillance records. It was for all intents and purposes a coincidence. It would have happened eventually, but due to Kerstin being on the elevator it had happened sooner. Jared sighed inwardly. He wouldn't have much to tell Kiva, though he'd make sure to send the highlights to her just the same. "[B]Thank you.[/B]" Jared finally said. "[B]That's all for now. One of my men will have you transported back to your hotel. If you think of anything be sure to contact me immediately. I'll be sure to keep you updated as well.[/B]" He stood up. William got up and bowed in his direction. "[B]Thank you sir. I'm sorry I didn't know anything that could be of use.[/B]" He turned at the sound of the door opening and then left with the security officer that arrived. Jared watched him leave. It was a pity that he was correct. All William had done was confirm that Blaine did have a reason for coming after him and that he had threatened him. Though it seemed that William hadn't realized that it was a threat. He sighed. Wondering if he should check on Darren or not. Especially since he didn't have any news for him yet.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=Indigo]First of all if you wish for help to write a manga you're in the wrong area of the boards. So I'll be moving this to the Manga Workshop when I'm done. Secondly, saying you don't care if your spelling is bad and that you won't bother to improve just won't do. Legible posts are a must here at OtakuBoards and that includes good spelling, good grammar and use of punctuation as well as capitalization. It's simple to use a program like Word or a program like Hotmail, [I]which is free[/I], to check your posts before copying and pasting them for posting. Failure to do so can result in a ban. We don't expect perfection, but we [I]do expect you to try[/I]. As for ideas, it would help if you explained just what type of manga you are interested in writing, horror, comedy, action, etc. Right now you're essentially asking someone to do all the work for you. But a general plot line would be useful or even some characters that you'd like to use in the story. Basically something besides [I]do it for me.[/I][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo]It was time to begin the hunt, indifference was almost ready to choose the questions that would eventually lead to revealing who had dared to betray them. In the depths of the stronghold a terrible dread began to fill the air as even the blue beast was restless, as if sensing that blood would soon be spilled. With a smile indifference finished preparing the first phase: [INDENT][B]1[/B] - Were you or were you not a "big noob" when you first joined OB? Or were you a good poster from point A. [B]2 [/B]- How long have you been a terrorist for? [B]3 [/B]- What is your favorite forum?[/INDENT] Satisfied that in the end the traitor would be found, she left the central area of the stronghold and headed to her own personal sleeping quarters for the night. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo]Personally I think it's too bad that people took it a little to seriously, though on some level I can see it. It is a highly controversial topic after all. Still I was kind of laughing at all the posts the whole time since the fact that it was meant to be absurd made it hard for me to take it seriously. Anyway...as for my role in posting the questions. I'm off with friends to see a movie but I should be back between midnight and one am MST (USA) so if you haven't gotten your questions to me yet, now would be the time. Once I get back I'll look through what was sent and put up three before calling it a night. Enjoy your evening my fellow terrorists. Be sure to wreak havoc and confuse the enemy. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo]Sandra was in her quarters when the chime indicating a priority message had arrived sounded. She was currently lounging on the sofa in the main area, enjoying a drink so instead of moving to her desk she simply brought it up on the large screen on the wall. She nearly choked on her drink when she realized what it said. With a startled oath she set the drink down and read the report of Erica Kendrick's arrest.[I] Hell! How in the world did that happen? She was the leader of the Resistance?[/I] Sandra could hardly believe it! She had known Erica since she was but a child. Sure she had always been like Crystal in the sense that she supported better conditions for the lesser races, but that had proven to be a smart economic move, not necessarily an indication she was for freeing them. She was almost finished with reading the time line of Erica's involvement when she read one part that made her freeze, her insides feeling as if they had turned to ice. [I]Oh my God! Please tell me those fools didn't do that. [/I]In an instant Sandra was on her feet, pacing back and forth, cursing under her breath. Entering the code for a priority communication with the High Council before tossing her hand held computer on the sofa. It took a moment but then her father answered. Clearly irritated when his face showed up on the large screen. "[B]I don't have time for this Sandra,[/B]" He said coldly. "[B]I don't give a shit what you think you don't have time for father.[/B]" She replied equally as coldly. "[B]What I want to know is just what the hell you God damn fools were thinking![/B]" "[B]We will take care of it Sandra, it does not concern you.[/B]" "[B]The hell it doesn't![/B]" She yelled. "[B]As a Council candidate and future Council member your actions reflect on me! Don't tell me it doesn't concern me! If what Kiva found out is true, and considering your response I'm inclined to believe her, then whoever is responsible is what needs to be taken care of![/B]" Sandra's father turned away for a second and then back to Sandra, "[B]On the contrary [I]child[/I] you of all people should know that there are things that are necessary for order to be maintained.[/B]" "[B]Don't you dare give me the same tired necessary speech. We're talking about altering how people think and feel! Even the damn research in sector fourteen wouldn't have done this! This is reprehensible and I will not stand for it. Hell![/B]" Sandra yelled as another thought occurred to her. "[B]That's why all of you were so insistent on arranging the betrothals in the first place. To make sure your dirty little secret was kept! To keep anyone from realizing that they had been[I] illegally[/I] modified![/B]" "[B]We are done here.[/B]" Her father said moving to terminate the connection. Sandra picked up her hand held computer and started preparing a transmission. One that would be sent to every terminal in the entire fleet. "[B]No father we are not.[/B]" She said between clenched teeth. "[B]I don't give a damn if you arrest me as well, you are not hiding what happened.[/B]" Her father hesitated. "[B]Snap out of it Sandra! Don't force me to deal with you as well."[/B] Sandra sighed and then pressed the send button, forwarding the report to everyone in the fleet. By the time they stopped it, it would be too late. Everyone would know. Then she set her hand held computer down and picked up her drink, tossing it at the screen, causing her father to flinch when it shattered upon contact. "[B]As far as I am concerned,[/B]" She said furiously. "[B]You are not my father![/B]" Sandra terminated the communication. Then she opened one with Stevens. Still cursing under her breath. "[B]Ah Sandra,[/B]" Stevens said when he answered, "[B]I see that you have heard about Erica.[/B]" "[B]That's not all I've heard about. What I want to know is what you intend to do. Because if you intend to do as my foolish father and the rest of the Council and attempt to hide it, I can and will kill you.[/B]" Stevens laughed at her. "[B]I'm glad to see that you feel that way since Zach and Dakar and I as well as James have agreed to declare Martial Law and place the High Council under house arrest. They've been trying to suppress the news but I've already assigned my computer specialist to counter their attempts to delete the data. Though I understand someone else is already making sure the data is copied before it can be erased. I don't know who's doing it though. At least not yet.[/B]" Sandra just glared at Stevens, still furious. "[B]I sent the report to everyone in the fleet, within a few hours everyone in the whole Empire will know about it.[/B]" Stevens smiled. "[B]Good. I was about to do that myself. Anyway, even if we don't get along having your assistance will be essential. As soon as I take care of a few things you and I will need to talk. Also,[/b]" Stevens sighed a bit. "[b]you'll want to talk to Jared, I'm afraid he has bad news as well. Now if you'll excuse me I have a lot to do.[/B]" Stevens terminated the communication. Sandra just stood there for a moment. Resisting the urge to smash things. [I]Jared has bad news as well? Just what the hell is Stevens talking about? [/I] She picked up her hand held computer and in a fit of anger sent the update out again, only this time to every singe reporting agency that she knew of. Then though it was most unlady like she went into the kitchen area of her quarters and smashed everything in sight cursing left and right. Then finally feeling a little less angry, Sandra took several deep breaths to calm herself and contacted Jared. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=Indigo][QUOTE=The Boss][color=darkred][size=1] In response to a particular challenge, I am here to rally support for a new forum on the OBs concerning Hentai. Don't be shy now, let's talk. What's your favorite hentai title? Got any particular taste you'd like to discuss? Any voice actor who's particular tone you prefer? Let's get it all out in the open.[/color][/size][/QUOTE]I'm not really into straight Hentai, but at the same time I'm not against it either. I tend to like more of the in between that isn't quite hardcore and yet still has a range of innuendo to outright explicit content. And truthfully in the end I tend to like Shōnen-ai better than Hentai. Like Angel's Feather, Eerie Queerie or Sukisho. I don't really pay attention enough to have favorite voice actors. [/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo]Twas a pity that two members had fallen already. But as she surveyed the remains of Nonentity, indifference just shook her head. [I]The weak deserve to die. If it took so little to shake their faith in Charles then they were not worthy to be called brothers. [/I] She continued onward to enter their stronghold, pausing only briefly to send a mock salute in The Boss's direction. She could not see him, but indifference knew just which member would have moved so swiftly to eliminate those who would betray them. Once she was in the stronghold there she began to survey the information she had been sent. It was time to start preparing to find the traitor in their midst. As soon as indifference had the necessary information she would begin the process. The traitor would fall. And they too would be fed to the beast.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo][QUOTE=Charles]Yes, I would like some volunteers in this thread and we can discuss it. It's not terribly important that we keep it a secret who our spokesperson should be. I think that my votes would go to either indifference or Alex. Also, like I said reread that pm and act as soon as possible on the bottom portion. It's vital.[/QUOTE]If that is our leader's wish then I will obey. I will await the decision of my fellow terrorists and further instructions should I be chosen while I head off to do battle in the suggestion forum.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=Indigo][quote name='Fasteriskhead]And then there's [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO-zRPiLue4][U]this one[/U][/URL], which I don't really [i]dislike[/i'] but... well, call it a love-hate thing. :3[/quote]I'm never going to be able to listen to that song again. You realize what you've done right? That was a weird combination. lol As for theme songs I hate? The butchered English version of Sailor Moon. The lyrics are cheesy as hell and not anywhere as fun as the original lyrics. I was glad when they finally released the first couple of seasons uncut. Even if the quality sucked and the sound was poor. At least it was not that god awful English version.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Indigo]Well it's safe to say that Jared is pretty indifferent. He already considers the High Council to be backstabber's to a certain extent. But it seems that Stevens is far from happy. Guess it was okay for the poor lesser races to be modified but not for his own people. lol And since my post was so long once a few more go up I'll work in Sandra's response as well. Her response is going to be the most fun to do. I think you guys will like it. ;)[/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Indigo]Jared was furious. Not at the security agent he had chosen but at Blaine Uratak. There was no doubt in his mind just who was behind the abduction of Kerstin as well as the student who was with her. It hadn't taken long for the agent to realize something was amiss when the doors had slammed shut in her face. She had been quick in figuring out what had happened, but not quick enough to stop them. And by the time she had used her clearance to access the security of the university to see where they had been taken, it was too late. And whoever was in charge had been clever enough to disable the security on the roof, leaving her to rely on a partial shot from another spot on the roof to confirm that their had been five of them who had forced them through a transport door. But that shot was not good enough to identify them. It didn't take him long to figure out who was with Kerstin, or to see that he had already been in the lift before she got on. And the manner in which he had tried to protect her seemed genuine enough. A quick check with the university records brought up a match. The person was a Daniel Timbers who had just started school there a short while ago. And looking at his schedule compared to Kerstin's showed that he could not have known that Kerstin would have left her class when she did. Nor had this person been riding the lift on a regular basis. Meaning he was likely uninvolved. But if that were true, why did they bother to take him as well? Further research showed that Daniel had arrived in sector one on the Tryst along with a William Bennits. Who was a rather wealthy investor. Someone who in the past ten years had been steadily gaining wealth due to his clever backing of products that took off. Some did not, but a good amount did. And a quick look at the records showed that both of them had grown up together, attending the same schools, working in the same job. It made sense. At the rate William was rising among the wealthy, he would soon be a major contender. Blaine probably already had him in his sights. Just as Blaine had Kerstin kidnapped to get to Darren, he probably intended to go after William at one point. And kidnapping his childhood friend was something Blaine would do. Jared was starting to write up the orders to start the investigation when the news about Erica Kendrick's arrest was broadcast. "[B]What the hell?[/B]" He said, ignoring the startled looks from the crew on the bridge. Jared pulled up a separate screen at his station to take a look at the details of the evidence. Quickly reading through it and then stopping at one spot.[I] Is this true?[/I] He read it again before going through the rest.[I] Well that's going to cause a lot of trouble. Hell, if what Erica is claiming about the modifications is true, that could even start a civil war among the factions! [/I] Jared thought about contacting Stevens and then changed his mind. There wasn't much he could do about it, other than to maintain order on the Creator. But he could finish preparing for an investigation to locate Kerstin and Daniel. Then once he was ready he would contact Stevens since things were going to get interesting. On some level, part of him was annoyed over the idea of having been modified at birth, and on another, part of him didn't give a damn. He'd been abused by the system from the very beginning since the High Council had turned their backs on what Commander Alan had done to him. It's not like he expected them to be nice. Though he was sure Sandra would probably be furious, if only because she hated secrets like that. Jared finished what he was doing and got up and went into the observation room to contact Stevens. The last thing he needed was for the main crew to overhear the conversation. A moment later he had him. Though Stevens thought he was calling him in regards to Erica. Something that he set him straight on. Though Stevens was still preoccupied. "[B]It's simple Stevens, both Kerstin and another student named Daniel were kidnapped from the university.[/B]" That got Stevens attention. "[B]I can't confirm it, but I'm positive that Blaine is behind it, especially after he attempted to harass Kerstin at the ball.[/B]" "[B]Damn! And at a time like this! I can't possibly spare anyone to look for them, not with what's going on right now.[/B]" "[B]Why not? I understand that what's happened is going to cause problems, but I really don't see a problem with assigning a few people to the task. Also, I need someone to look for Blaine since according to the Elite Military unit that was watching him, he too vanished, shortly after those two were picked up.[/B]" Jared started getting irritated. "[B]We can't lose our focus and abandon others, that will only lend to the air of panic from Erica's arrest. It will look like we are incapable of handling a situation like this. If you want to keep order you should issue the first level of martial law, giving troops the authority to use non-lethal methods to break up riots. But whatever you do, don't stop regular missions![/B]" Stevens did his best to not snap at Jared, "[B]I am already doing that Jared. And believe me, I meant it when I said I had no one. I'm organizing a task force from the different forces to head the investigation to find out which if any of the High Council members are guilty of treason. Council members or not, on our own people that type of modification is banned. I've already sent for Crystal so she can confirm the data, to see if what Erica found is indeed true. Because if it is, heaven help us. We had riots over the research being done on the lesser races and that wasn't anywhere as invasive as this is! I've already issued the order to halt all genetic reproduction facilities, even though that will make it look like the information is true, since the fall out of doing nothing if it is would be even worse.[/B]" Jared was confused, "[B]Why are you making task forces? What about Kiva? If she exposed her, why not have her head the investigation?[/B]" "[B]Because everyone knows that Elite Specialists only answer to the High Council. The investigation needs to be done by someone who is not so tightly connected to the Council. Make no mistake, I intend to request her assistance should I need it.[/B]" "[B]Well how about requesting it now? For Kerstin and Daniel? If Kiva is not involved in the investigation, surely she could use her skills to hack into the systems to help me track down what happened to Blaine as well as those two.[/B]" Jared suggested. Stevens looked away for a moment to address something and then turned back. "[B]Very well, I need to contact Kiva so I'll mention it. Send me everything you have to give to her. Keep in mind, Kiva does not answer to me so I can't guarantee that she'll do as you ask.[/B]" "[B]Fair enough.[/B]" Jared replied. "[B]So long as you understand that with or without her help I intend to look for them. Please let me know what Kiva decides to do.[/B]" "[B]I will, Stevens out.[/B]" Jared sighed. He was not looking forward to telling Darren what had happened. He only hoped Kiva would agree to help. Her hacking skills were far better than his and Blaine, though he was unlikely to kill either one was far from kind. The quicker they were found, the better. Jared got up and prepared to go down and talk to Darren. [I]What a mess.[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=Indigo]If you want people assigned to sections that's fine by me. Though if you're still looking for freelance, that's more what I'm interested in since my attention tends to be all over the boards instead of just one area. Though I'd be sure to let everyone know what I was working on to avoid the double article issue Revelation mentioned. [/COLOR]
