Welcome to Gaia! ::

ooc: That'd be a good diea, I made the MIA list solely for the purpose of people telling us if they're gonna be gone and whatnot but apparently not many people have payed attention to it ._.; I'm kinda hopin' that the guild way of doing things might keep everything more neat and clean and thne we could tell whether or not people are gone or not.

Brian looked up from the screen, and noticed that the Librarian had hit the shower. It was a very nice change, because for once, he was not smelling like a crate of bananas.
"Librarian? You feelin tired?"
The Librarian shook his head, and grabbed into the large glass of chocolate covered Coffeebeans, before taking out a handfull and chowing them down. Brian just shruggen, and also chewed one. It was strange, how in this place, there were almost no incidents that caused you to get sleepy. It was almost miraculous.
"Well, then I have something along the lines of morning sport for you.... a mission. Or rather, a bug on the system. See, this mission keeps popping up, and I am really concerned about this thing... is labeled a rookie mission, so you can think the two of us are enough. So, you wanna train? I think as tech-support, if the mission keeps getting posted all the time, that is clearly a bug in the system. And, if said mission keeps showing up nearly every morning, we are allowed to go. Besides, i wanna check some gear for soldiers. And, I need to keep my promises. "

A few hours later, they stepped out of the portal. It was a strange feeling, almost comforting. He looked down at his new clothes. He was wearing plain-camoflage, from head to toe, and even had changed his normal laptopcase against one in camoflage.
The Librarian stepped behind him outside of the portal. He carried two big spraycans in his hands, and basically wore just his oversized T-Shirt, and his sunglasses. except, the sunglasses looked a bit more futuristic.
They now looked like a weird version of Ski-goggles crossed with raybans, and had the lenses of several dozen cameras poking out of them.

Brian looked around, and imediatelly spotted the old woman. She was small, around 97, and had silvery hair. She wore a kind of scarf around her tiny old body, and somehow reminded brian of his dear grandmother, that had died when he had been 2.
He walked up to her, and motioned the Librarian to follow him. He waved at the grandmother.
"Hi there, Missis. I am tech, and this is an official tech support mission. Am I right that you have been repeatedly requesting your kitten to be rescued from that tree we are standing in front of?"
The woman looked first at him, and then at the Librarian.
"OOh, my bad, "Brian said, and smiled.
"This charming fellow is my trainee. He is from ireland, and Just speaks irish. "
The librarian grinned, and saluted the old lady, while he placed the spraycans at the bottom of the tree. he then proceeded to take of his shirt.
"Excuse me, young man, but is your Trainee there doing something .... indecent?"
Brian smiled.
"Well, Misses, I think you understand that in some times, a man just has to work without his shirt. Well, It seems that my Trainee is just getting warmed up for climbing the tree and retrieving your kitty. He just wants to be in a presentable way for the commander afterwards, but if you insist, he is going to put his shirt back on. OOh, and I can assure you, if he tries something indecent, I wil personally give him an official warning and a disciplinary charge. "
The woman just nodded, and looked as the Librarian had finished scratching his behind.
"By the way, Miss, I am terribly sorry, but my throat is a bit dry. Would you mind bringing me a glass of water?"
The old lady looked a bit confused, but willingly mumbled something, and disappeared in the house. he motioned towards the Librarian, who shot up in the tree like a cannonball. From below, he could use the microphones embedded in the glasses. He watched for the frontgate.
first, there was a rustling noise in the speakers, as if something very big moved extremly fast through a wood. Then, he could hear some birds cursing, a few breaking branches, and then finally:
"Meow?"
The cat sounded anoyyingly cute.
"Ugh!"
This was the Librarian. He sounded almost charmingly.
"Mrrrrreow!"
The purring of the cat almost sounded like somthing extremely angry was fighting against the corner of a wall.
He walked up to the little house, and took a scope out of his combat-gear, through which he watched the Librarian and the Cat, almost 200 meters over the ground. He grinned, as he saw the cat hissing, and scratching the librarian in the hand.
"Ugh!UGH! EEK EEK EEEk EeK eEk!"
The Librarian grinned, and began to fiolently shake the branch the little cat was sitting on, while repeatedly saying "UGH", in a sophisticated manner.
Then, he heard something that had him smiling.
"MreeeeeeeEeeeEeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEow!"
The cat now stood under the tree , panting heavily, and with eyes wide open out of the shock. It still looked funny, but the fact that the kitten was standing and breathing was enough for Brian to be glad.
The librarian had jumped too, but in midflight, he had grabbed a few branches ot the tree, and had stopped himself that much that he was just about normal speed when he hit the ground, and had rolled himself off. he just leaned against the tree, and shook his hands.
Brian walked up to the Librarian and the cat, and watched it to first examine the cat. The cat was alive, just shocked, and had not a single hair scruffed. He grinned, and took the kitten in his Arms. Then, he looked at the Librarian.
"I assume that you have had some difficulties with the mission, and that your own incompetence caused an accident in which you to endangered yourself, cat and Mission target?"
The Librarian looked ashamed, and just nodded.
Brian pulled his brows upwards, and sighed.
"OK, Now, watch and learn what damage controll means. "
He turned around, as the old lady had marched out of the house, holding a glass of water and a banana. He smiled, and handed her the kitten, while the Librarian took care of the food.
"Well, your little darling is allright. I do not know much about cats, but it seems to me like the cat is just still scared from being up that high. "
Brian smiled, and took out his laptop.
"according to catpsychology today, kittens that climb on trees have not been loved enough by her mother. Let me guess, your little friend, by the way, a beautiful siamese cat, if i may say so, was with you from a very young age...."
The Old lady looked stunned, and then nodded. he could see the term "Dummy-mode active" about her head.
"well, yes, but I allways thought that I had to leave him a bit more freedom instead. "
Brian shook his head, and laughed, as the Librarian motioned at his paw.
"I say, did you know that cat-mammys often wash their youngs 3 or more times a day? perhaps, you just need to show her a bit more love...."
The weels in her had spun round and round.
"Well, Mister Mittens,what do you think about a nice hot bath afterwards, by your mommy?"
Mister Mittens, obviously paralized by fear from his 200 meter fall, just did exactly nothing, except then stare at the Librarian, who ugghed a few times, and grinned friendly.
"Well, ma'am, I think we are abvout done here. Except that my trainee would like to try something....."
The librarian grinned, and held up something looking like a large black pin.
"Well, this is an RFID-chip. Well, basically, my Trainee claims that each and every irishman can talk with the animals, so with your contempt, he would like to place an automated recording device in the tree, that everytime your Kitten goes near the tree emits a few words in the gentle irish thongue, that he claims sooth the animals desire of heart. "
He held up a recorder with the tape already inserted. he smiled, and handed it to the Librarian, who hid it in the lower Branches.
"Well, mam, I guess this is it. Now, we have rescued the kitten, have drunken your water and have eaten your banana, so I guess you have done about enough for us. Bye, then, and take good care of your kitten!"
Both of them bowed, and walked down to the portal. As they stood in front of the portal, Brian just switched the Cameras in the Librarians glasses off, and started to grin.
"You played an excellent part, dude. I mean, even if you would have been punished, I would have totally let you go with a mediocre punishement, like reducing your daily banana-artion to two bushels. "
"Ugh", said the Librarian, and sounded slightly lost and amused at the same time.
"Exactly, you hardly eat one bushel. Now, let's check back if we have done anything right. By the wax,I guess the cameras were not too disturbing? "
"Ugh, " said the Librarian, and started to roll himself a cigarette.
"Excellent. now, you really had an accident, and the cat flew off? You shook her of, right?"
The librarian just nodded.
"You are too friendly, buddy. I would have kicked that damn cat out of the tree. Now, lets go through the list. Made the documantary for the Commander? check.... saved the cat? ... check. caused the cat major psychological damage from falling off high places? Check. Used said Fear of high places and evil orang-Utans to construct an active countermeasure including a casette? check. "
He smiled. Irish? the language sounded strange. the tape had just consisted of the Librarians "UGH"'s and "EEK"'s during a game of doom the two had played last night.
"by the way, just for the extra points: what was in the cans? You emptied them on the three, didn't you?"
The Librarian just smiled, and handed him the cans. Friar tucks authentic old time flavoured Grease spray, one drop and it is lubricated as heck....
He smiled at the Librarian.
"Excellent work. I think we have deserved a break. "
Both of them stepped through the door, and both of them smiled.

((OOc: This case is noiw available on video, like most of your cases will if you sue the goggles. Does count as making reports more efficient, doesn't it? And I hope my approach to the cat-problem was a good one?))

(How about we get rid of this thread and just have the guild, have different subforms and stuff for different missions.))

(wow... I missed a lot... I'm sure no one missed me either... xD)

((Sorry about not being on in a while. My parents took away my hard drives. I got them back though. I think you should just get rid of the forum and send invites to the guild. We might not get as many new people after you get rid of the thread though. Thats the only downside.))

Sokato, watching from the other side of the dojo walked into view. "You both managed to impress me. I finally have a code name for you. I am not very good at making names so if you don't like the two I let you choose from you can make your own."
Sokato adjusts his sunglasses. "The two code names are Void, and Hammer. I know they are not very good so if you don't like them you can just think up your own."

Eva turned to look at the newcomer and surveyed her with her good eye. She could tell that the girl was blind, and a knot of dread began to tie itself to the lining of her stomach.

"Welcome to the situation room. Can I help you, or are you just in the habit of stumbling through every doorway you feel?"

She was standing in the door of the control booth, located neatly in the corner of the currently vacant room. Her squad members were in the middle of the floor, figuring out strategies for their training game.

(Okey-dokey...umm, where are we?)

ooc: xD You sure Cloxxs? This thread is confuzzled maybe someone missed yer post
