TWG VII - The Fox And Hounds - Day 6 End - Patriot takeover

[emccky]

well Chardish still hasn't made the anouncement, so I suppose you can still talk.

[User6773]

"Colonel! The charges are set. We're about to blow the primary power generator." Emccky stands alone, hiding in the shadows as Chinese guards pass behind him without seeing him. The silent Codec communcation ensures that they do not hear him. "The auxiliary power should be enough for them to run base operations, but not operating the cloaking shield.

"Do it," says the Colonel.

Emccky presses a button and a loud explosion is heard. The explosion quickly engulfs the power building, capsizing its infrastructure, and its ashen remains strike the ground with thunderous crashes.

"Good work," says the Colonel. "Our reconaissance satellites are capturing images of the facility as we speak.

"Colonel!" A wispy, feminine voice comes in over the Codec. "We're getting reports of several missiles being fired from the Chinese base!"

"Evasive maneuvers!" shouts the Colonel. "Get us out of the way."

"We're not the target!" says the voice. Her voice is hurried, urgent. "It's the satellites!"

"Lieutenant! Get us those pictures, quick! Download them into the plane's central computer!"

"Yes, sir!" says the Lieutenant.

Black smoke burns over the base as the missiles hit their target.

"I don't understand!" shouts Verruckter. "I thought those satellites were invisible to enemy radar!"

"If we have spies in our midst, we have spies in our midst," says the Colonel. "Surely somebody who's listening in would know that we were planning to take photos. But we must proceed with the mission as planned. I'm counting on you guys to figure this one out."

"Colonel, we have the photos intact, including the satellite's data transfer log. We have everything we need to prove these photos are legit."

"I haven't introduced you yet," says the Colonel. "This is Lt. Lynn Founders, FOXHOUND's computer technician and analyst. She graduated top of her class from MIT in 2000. She may be young blood, but she's the best there is when it comes to computer technology."

"Pleased to meet you," says Alain.

"Have you come to a decision on who is a spy?" asks the Colonel.

"It is our decision that Afrobean is," says HansSky.

"I understand," says Dr. Roberts. "Executing the termination program. This isn't any the easier the second time."

No one sees Afrobean's body fall dead to the ground in a peaceful stupor.

"I hope you were right," says the Colonel. "Now find out if the Chinese have nukes, and stop them if they do. And one more thing-"

"Yes?" says HansSky.

"We can't let you back on the FOXHOUND plane until you've eliminated the spies. There's too great a risk of these photos being damaged."

"Understood," says Lightdarkness. "Commencing Phase 2 of the operation."

It is now Night 3, and I need picks from the wolves and guardian.

[User6773]

-We got the satellites. But they got the photographs they took beforehand.
-Why is this a problem?
-It's not, as long as our agents succeed in getting onto the plane and taking them out.
-I'm sure more satellites will be on their way.
-Campbell's an idiot...why does he talk so much over a channel he knows is being monitored?
-I have no idea. Maybe, like all commanders, he has faith in his men...faith that they'll find our men.
-Are you worried?
-No. I have faith in my men, too.
-How's our patient doing?
-He's allright. A bit of neurological shock, but he'll be fine in a couple of days.
-This is good news. I worried he'd be more hurt.
-It gets better. We got past another encryption code.
-What's the frequency?
-141.06.
-Get on it, immediately.
-Yes, sir.

"This is Campbell. We're about to change Codec frequencies. I need each member of the team to respond with his new frequency."

"Graaaaaa!" The roaring, incomprehensible scream comes painfully whittles at everyone's inner ear bones.

"Founders!" shouts the Colonel. "What frequency is that coming in on?"

"143.99, sir!" replies the Lieutenant. "Emccky."

"I...i...it's...it's all over me!" The entire squad wants to shut off transmission from 143.99, but no one has the heart to close themselves to their comrade's last breath. Emccky lets out a final blood-curdling wail, and is silent.

"Colonel," says Guido. "I hate to break the mood here, but I just spotted something interesting..."

"What is it?"

"Alan Richardson."

"Ridiculous." The Colonel's response is firm and immediate.

"I'm taking pictures of him right now with my camera. But how will I get the photos back to you?"

"Put the camera in your Codec ear and press the shutter button," says Founders. "Instead of taking a photo, the camera will transmit the picture data over Codec."

"Allright," says Guido. He does so.

"I'm receiving the photos now," says Founders. "I think you may be right."

"That's definitely him," says Campbell. "Alan Richardson. What in the hell is the Secretary of Defense doing at a top-secret, black-operations Chinese military base in the middle of a desert?"

"I have no idea..." says Guido.

"You don't seem too concerned for our own skins, though. What if this whole thing is a trap?" asks Djshox. "After all, how come we're being killed off one by one?"

"It doesn't add up," says the Colonel. "Whoever's killing you clearly has no choice but to do it one-by-one. And if the DOD wanted to march into the barracks and gas you all in your sleep, they could."

"But are we just pawns in the DOD's game here?" asks Stretchy.

"We've always been pawns," says the Colonel. "We carry out the mission, no matter what."

"But we're the best pawns there are. Surely that counts for something." says HansSky.

"We have our orders," says the Colonel. "Shut down the facility's power, and destroy the Chinese nuclear weapons, if they exist. Whether or not this is part of the DOD's greater plan is beyond our scope of interest. We at least have to assume that this is the will of the American government."

"This is a top-secret black op, Colonel!" says Flypie. "FOXHOUND is the most secret of the secret forces. We don't even know who knows we're here! Was Richardson planning to be here?"

"Hard to say...I don't have access to the complete file," says Campbell with a heavy sigh.

"Just like at Shadow Moses!" says Blahblah. "We've read all the details of that mission! Who's really in charge of this one? Richardson?"

"No! I don't know why Richardson is there, or who he's answering to," the Colonel asserts. "But you have a new order. I want one of you to get close to Richardson and get him to answer a few questions. I'm sure the same ones are coming up in everyone's mind right now. Don't be afraid to use force. After all, if the Secretary of Defense is there during a top-secret, security level Red operation to eliminate the facility, he must have realized death was a possibility."

"Understood," says Tasselfoot. "We'll do that before pushing into the Weapons Lab."

It is now Day 3. Voting ends at midnight Christmas Day. This special voting extension is due to the fact that many people will have things going on on Christmas.

[Afrobean]

g'bye post...

I vote Richardson. Just kidding.

Give 'em hell humans. See you at the postgame thread.

[lightdarkness]

RE: g

Damnit!!!!

I have no clue what to go on :'(

[alainbryden]

RE: g

Allright, Verruckter, Shox, if you're still in hiding by the end of this day it'll be time to drag you out into the open, because it's not safe for us to keep assuming that the ones that never talk are human. Also Stretch and Guido need to pop up a bit more. I mean, I know you guys are busy with eachother but you have to take a break sometime. LD, you act pretty unsure of yourself for being in the acclaimed alliance.

I have a hell of a good question. Why didn't Tass get wolfed? He's still the humans' best asset, and his trust seems well established in this game. Is it possible that the guardian is still alive and the wolves know this? It seems improbable. The wolves are idiots for randomly voting for one of the quiet posters. If Afro was a wolf, then I'm inclined that the leftover wolves have enough sense about the game to take out Tass - i.e. the aformentioned Vertukker and Shox. That is my current theory - lets hope this draws them back into the thread.

EDIT Just to make it more impending, Verruckter, appear.

[Tasselfoot]

i had been talking alot with emccky over AIM... this makes me believe that the wolves are targeting specific people with a specific agenda. first EB, now Emccky....

my one guess as to why i'm still alive.... emccky is/was more important to the humans than i. either that, or they are attempting to not kill me in the hopes that the rest of the players will view that as me being a wolf, and lynch me...

with that... i go hang with Whorli. back tomorrow.

[emccky]

k bye.

[Verruckter]

gosh this thread is going way too fast for me. I come baxck from school and there are already 4 more pages and the thread is locked. Didn't even have time to vote

I'm voting Tass because he seems to know too much.

[Tasselfoot]

i only know what people tell me... as its in the open... eb told me he was the guardian. emccky told me he was the psychic. emccky also told about 5 other people... eb told at least afro, if not more.

so, yea... its damn suspicious, but i suspect this is what the wolves want.

[Verruckter]

You were overreacting to the accusations on day 1. Plus you deleted posts and thats suspicious.

[eyespewgreekfire]

Just to make him talk a little bit more, I think I am going to vote for shox. Being so quiet is dangerous. If he is a wolf, he has slipped by everyone and everything.

[lightdarkness]

You were overreacting to the accusations on day 1. Plus you deleted posts and thats suspicious.

He deleted someones voting list because it was incorrected, and extremely hard to read.

If you are basing your acusations on that, I have no choice but to vote for you, VERRUCKTER. Seems to me you are a wolf, looking for something stupid to vote someone off for.

[Verruckter]

Oh, because your reason is better?

[lightdarkness]

Oh, because your reason is better?

I think so.

You were trying to pin something on tass, which is just absurd. Wolves don't have any real evidence, because they are the wolves!

So that is why I choose you. Got a problem with it? Find some real evidence, then let me know.
