"and hello to you too grey fur. stalking the group i see" she remarked with a smirk

"why hide in a corner? it's more polite to come out straight forward but i guess some people have different ways to make a fine entrance" she added. she layed on the couch, looking at Cupelo as she did so.

"and yeah there are actually, the fact that im now apart of "Corneria's most wanted" she said with a chuckle.

"Hello Cupelo, nice to have you here on this fine fine evening." Alex said pulling out the Tracker. "I guess I need to check my pockets more."

"Other than that, everyone make your self at home, even if this isn't mine house!" he says laughing.

Nick chuckeled, "That is what they all say, but SARAH is more then your average bio-recognition scanner and ship. Mr. Cupelo..." He continued. "While you can stay untraced and untracked, you can't really mask your DNA and vital signatures. SARAH is a medical ship, in short ranges it is her job, she is a medical AI." He added. "But this is all trival, so what seems to be the bigger issues?" he asked.

"Spare me your conceit, boy." Cupelo rolled his eyes at the one who called himself Savior. "Masking DNA signatures is unfortunately what Star and Alex must do now, and then some. And that's 'Mr. Domingo' to you, Cupelo is my first name." he turns to Alex and Star. "They don't just have your DNA signature, but also your fingerprints, your retinal pattern, your iris image. You will not be able to pass under one biometric scanning device without blowing your cover and risking capture again like today."

"This city is too hot right now. You'll have to leave here to somewhere safer where you can lay low, and you can't do that if your biometrics are out there for all to see. Now despite what your presumptuous friend here may be inclined to believe, there are ways to undermine this system, if you're willing to risk it..."

"I understand some of you are skilled computer hackers, no?"

The words of Cupelo angered Nick, it brought back nasty memories of when he was in the service. The words flipped a switch in his mind. "Ahh well I apologize Mr. Domingo" he retorted, "And yes there are ways to undermine the system, such as hacking the database and wiping all of your information from the said database. It is tough, but not unachievable..." He remarked. After a short pause he continued with another thought "I may be young Mr. Domingo, but I assure you I do know what I am doing, I have been running this operation for almost a year now, and have had helped other resistance make it out and away from here, I am not going to let someone with a huge ego like yours undermine the lives that I try to save." He added. "I am not stupid, I am smart enough to cover my own tracks, and the tracks of others" he added

"If you want my help fine, I will give you my help, but you don't have to be an arse about it." He retorted "I was trying to get everyone out and away from here to safety, but someone had to be some big hero and try and be the big ol' macho man in charge" he pointed to the gentleman. "I have seen types like yours lead men into battle, and they end up getting everyone around them killed."

Nick has a slight flash back and soon sat down. Memories flashed of battle scenes and death. His hands trembled and he shook his head to get out of the daze of memories he was in. Nick was easily upset and it was nothing personal against Mr. Domingo, but sometimes Nick does get upset over things of that nature. He soon looked with dazed eyes to the group and soon stated with a low tone. "If.... you'll excuse me, I need to check on something, he moved into the next room and sat in a chair and pulled a pair of dogtags from his neck. He looked at the names and just sat in silence.

"Sir, this is Stacker. We seem to have zero Rebel activity in the sector at the moment, I have a slight solution to enhance our survellence, over.", the Bluish Vulpine said over his radio.

I hope he gets it in time....these radios are horrible....

as Star heard the word "hacking" she smirked

"hacking......is a very nice hobby of mine, Mr. Cupelo. Almost went to jail for it, dad got a death sentence for it. Though i need my laptop, which houses the best hacking program for the job, i could easily by-pass their so called "security" on our info." she said

"luckily for you i brought it, and how it still works, is a mystery to me" she added. she opened one side in her coat to reveal a secret compartment, which looked to small for a regular sized laptop. instead she pulled out a mini laptop, which was a only a couple inches bigger than the size of a book.

"first off, i need to know where they are actually STORING the info. i mean i COULD find that out myself, but that would take weeks. second of all, If this fails or at least one code is jacked up, it could easily give me away, so that means NO ONE touches this, or i screws us all. third of all, getting rid of anything else besides our target will also easily give us away, so dont ask me to get rid of nothing more than our target. Also, don't annoy me, and i think we'll be good." she said looking at Cupelo and Alex.

"Cupelo, you seem to know about this more than myself, you know where they store the info?" she asked

Cupelo paused a moment, and watched the one called Savior exit in a huff. The older fox let out a tired sigh; the young one will have to develop a thicker skin if he is to have any success...

"Savior has the right idea about hacking into the database, but it's not nearly as simple as wiping your files off the mainframe as he suggested; you'll need far more than just access..."

He turned back to Star, who expressed much interest in the prospect of hacking.

"Both you and Alex will also need a set of forged biometric parameters to plant in the database in place of your true biometrics, plus a forged alias file to match to your true biometric parameters. Simply removing your files from the database will alert the authorities and start a panic, and if the biometric scanners pick up a "no match", you will be detained anyway on suspicion."

she looked at him

"thats a good idea, Cupelo. i dont know bout Alex, but ive never done that before, but i can at least try. Making a mistake though, is not an option. one wrong move and we could be easily found out, or the Gov. will have their suspicious " she said

"ill get to work immediately" she said as she opened her laptop and got straight to work

"If you need professional Forging I know just the person." Alex said looking at Cupelo

"I have a friend, been together since the take-over. Great at things like these, He might be able to get us some Hardcore Firepower. I could give him a call." Holding up a Comm.

He dialed and waited for it to anwser as he walked into a different room.

"Hello? ... Ya It's me. ... Nice to hear your voice as well. I was wondering, The Government is getting better and a couple of us need a "Forged Biometric Parameters" ..... No no I haven't told them your name and ...... So yes? .... Alright I be coming! .............. I know, I know. Later. ...." He hangs up and goes back into the Living room. He hangs up. and goes to the room everyone was in.

"I'm gunna check on Sav if you dont mind" she set the computer down and started to walk to where Savior had headed. she looked back at Cupelo and Alex and commented

"any of you touch my laptop, and i wont hesitate to fire. i know it sounds stupid but that was my fathers computer, only thing i have to remember him by" she said. she walked into the next room, and looked at Savior.

"you alright?" she asked while walking towards him

"you look pretty upset" she added

"A laptop to remember your loveones." Alex said " My father gave me Infomation to remember him by." Looks over at Cupelo. "So, You know a lot about Security, and Sabotage. Were yo a past Spy for the CDF or what?"

Nick looked at Star. "Nah I am fine, there was a man I knew. "He paused. "Led a team full of young bright military personnel into battle. But he was just.." Nick clenched his fists and continued. "A man like Mr.Domingo there got people I knew and cared about killed for his own selfish needs, and that is all he is. A selfish lone wolf and that is what he always will be, and I will be damned if he gets us all killed..." He shook his head.

"I really don't care anymore" he stated. "But if we are going to get out of this, we need to get out of the city, he is right about that" He remarked. "And the only way is to work together whether I like it or not." he added. "I can be stubborn sometimes, but that Mr. Domingo is.... he worries me."

Nick soon got up and walked back into the room where the others were, pulled out a laptop and began work. He didn't say anything, but instead continued working on whatever it was.

"ok there are two things ive learned and one is to never compare a teammate to an enemy of yours" she said in a serious tone

"yeah he's stubborn, but don't compare him to someone who is COMPLETELY different that him JUST because that man was SELFISH! Cupelo actually risked his life to distract the Gov. JUST so me and Alex could get to safety! i don't think that's selfish at all!" she yelled. she had always hated it when people made comments like those towards a teammate. she walked over, grabbed her laptop, and walked into a room to be separated from the group.

"i swear if we don't start getting along this team will fall apart." she said quietly to herself as she worked.

"So, You know a lot about Security, and Sabotage. Were yo a past Spy for the CDF or what?"

"I'd ask your 'friend' if my name rings any bells." Cupelo answered, "If he is well connected enough to deliver the forgeries you'll need, then he should be able to answer your questions for the time being..."

Savior steps back into the room, apparently cooled off, but still troubled.

He's resourceful, and dedicated, but that sensitive temper could be the death of him if he's not careful.

He heard the word "team" spoken loudly and with passion when Star Confronted Savior

A team? I guess that's what they call a ragtag group of desperate vagabonds these days...

Nick nodded. "Yep, I still hold a grudge to that guy, and I let my cool get away from me." He looked down. " I just seem to be pissing everyone off today, guess I am just always to be alone." he stated to himself. "but she is wrong, she never met him, never knew him like I did. Just someone who seems to make assumptions, and that is dangerous. This whole thing is dangerous, why didn't I just go and leave this place.... this whole planet, this whole star system"

"Look, we are getting off on the Wrong foot. Mr. Domingo, and I apologize for that, I just get angered easily, well it's just because of you, well not you personally, but of someone you remind me off. I am willing to put that aside for the sake of getting out of here." he said extending his hand to shake to help make amends. " We need to work together whether I like it or not." he remarked

Watching Star quickly grab her laptop and walk away. "Well she's upset." With a bit of a worried look on his face. "And you don't look to good yourself Savior. Other than that I called my Bro, He said he could get us some weaponry. I'm going to head out soon."

He stands and grabs for his bag. Then he heads for the basement. Looking at the Piano made him ... Happy. He rubbed his hand along the keys.

"This piano deserves better." he thought. "HEY SAVIOR, MIND GIVING ME A HAND DOWN HERE!?" he yelled.

she heard Cupelo loud and clear. she then was infuriated

"ragtag group of desperate vegabonds?! I DEFENDED YOUR SORRY A** FOR GOD'S SAKE!" she yelled at cupelo as she curled her hand into a fist

"SAVIOR WAS DEAD ON! YOU ARE A LONE WOLF CUPELO! IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE A TEAM, THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD MEN WALKING!" she looked at him with a stare of infuriating rage. she then shook her head

"might as well just work alone...." she walked back into the other room, where she closed the top to her laptop and sat there, head down on the table, attempting to cool off

He took Savior's hand, accepting his amends. "Water under the bridge--"

she heard Cupelo loud and clear. she then was infuriated

"ragtag group of desperate vegabonds?! I DEFENDED YOUR SORRY A** FOR GOD'S SAKE!" she yelled at cupelo as she curled her hand into a fist

"SAVIOR WAS DEAD ON! YOU ARE A LONE WOLF CUPELO! IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE A TEAM, THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD MEN WALKING!"

Telepath. Cupelo facepalmed himself, and made a mental note to adjust his thought process against telepathic reading from now on.

"Dammit girl!" Cupelo cursed, "We are desperate, and you know it! Vagabonds or not, like it or not, we are sticking together anyway; do you understand that? We do not have the luxury of flying off the handle every five minutes. We, all of us, need to get a grip and cooperate or so help us we are not going to last the night!"

Cupelo's voice and demeanor assumed a sharp, hard flinty timbre the likes of which could chill fire.

"Now if you'd rather take your chances on your own, then by all means, the exit isn't going anywhere; so what about you?..."

star was silent, soon enough clenching her teeth and her hands. she didn't want to leave, but she could not stand his ego. she finally spoke after a couple moments

"YOU THINK I DON'T ALREADY KNOW THAT?! IF I WANTED TO, I WOULD HAVE LEFT ALREADY!" she yelled. she then sighed "just give me 5 DAMN MINUETS to cool off ALRIGHT?!" she yelled. she then grew silent, not saying a word nor thinking, just was silent.

Alex hears the conversation upstairs.

Takes a deep breath and sits at the Piano. Stretches his fingers. And Plays.

(to the tune of 100 years)

"I'm 19 for moment,

Stuck in this world,

with all of its hate.

And I still think

what to do next, to make it great.

A life not good,

built of fighting and fire.

And I'm stuck dreaming,

What will I do to make it stop."

Then he stops. Thinking.

Nick watched quickly how Star exploded. "Well, we really should not be arguing. We all have ways we want to do things, but even if we hate each other, or stubborn, or selfish, or anything else, we need to just come to a compromise. We need to work together, and Mr. Domingo has the right idea, we need fake aliases and a way to be able to move around with some ease, though we will have to be careful." He remarked.

I may not be a good shooter, but you can easily have me patch any wounds. He looked over to Mr Domingo. "He seems to have the right idea when it comes to getting the job done, so I will follow his lead, I am not sure about Alex, but Star we will need your hacking skills and telepathic abilities. They will be the most beneficial." He remarked

"Sir, this is Stacker. We seem to have zero Rebel activity in the sector at the moment, I have a slight solution to enhance our survellence, over.", the Bluish Vulpine said over his radio.

I hope he gets it in time....these radios are horrible....

"You've got an idea? Well I guess anything would be better then sitting around waiting for their move at this point. So go on then, tell what you've got." Sanford answered on his communicator.

as she heard Savior say this, she looked at Cupelo

"try to calm that ego of yours and we will be good." she said in a serious tone. she then looked at Savior

"that ain't all i can do. if your medical expertise fails, im quite the uh.....healer you could say. also my enhanced hearing and eyesight would easily be an advantage. though high pitched sounds would easily harm me, it would help" she said.

"sorry for the blow up atchya Cupelo, i just can't stand insults towards others. Since the facility, which i will not speak of horrors of that in which i lived in, fighting and insults towards the team and or another teammate in particular is not going to be tolerated. i don't really uh.....handle it well if i say so myself" she said

"no hard feelings? or will it rage another war" she asked

The Fox looked about at the other mercs,

"Sir, permission to speak to you privatly? Just so it's between you and me, over?"

Not that I don't trust you guys, but I don't know who else might be watching and listening...., Stacker thought to himself.
