008 and 002 are proceeding quickly and quietly through the back hallway into the casino when 002 puts her hand up and motions for 008 to listen.

Footsteps are approaching, and given the style and sound, they know it's not Bryce and Joyce.

G and Xenobia melt into opposite walls, get the silencers on their weapons, and wait for the footsteps to get closer...steady...steady.

With lightening speed Xenobia whips out from the wall and takes out two of the three men, with G getting the last one.

002: Search for IDs, anything that can tell us who they are.

008: You got it.

OK GM...who are they? Any ID?

At the moment, the hallway is empty and cllear of anyone.

You hear voices in a room down the hall.

From a room about twenty feet on, apparently, on the right.

What do you do?

[Xenobia]

008 raises his gun but 002 waves it back down.

002: *That* could be Bryce and Joyce. Let's get them on the subvocal and try to figure out where they are.

-- Xenobia

[Joyce Carrington]

009: What?

002 over sub-v: Where are you?

009: We're in this scary corridor.

002: So are we.

009: So... where are you then?

[Matt O'S oo4]

002 - 008.

What are you going to do?

Check out the room? Listen closer? Walk past? Or something else?

[Genrewriter]

008 looks to 002.

008: I think we should meet up with 009 and 003, find out what's going on on their end and work from there. Something is very wrong here.

[Xenobia]

002: I agree with you. There is safety in numbers. Speaking of numbers...where the Hell is 004?

-- Xenobia

[Matt O'S oo4]

Over sub vocal:

Duhhh, I heard that.

What now? Are you tired old types getting bored?

[Xenobia]

002: Oh just the opposite Matty. It looks like the party is just getting started. Why not come join us?

-- Xenobia

[Matt O'S oo4]

At your six.

Moving.

[Xenobia]

*Xenobia turns to watch*

002: I'll let you know when you are in my sights.

-- Xenobia

[Genrewriter]

008 turns as 004 appears.

008: Welcome to the party.

004: Found much?

008: No, we seem to be in the dark.

002: Let's find the others, maybe we can shed some light on the situation.

[Joyce Carrington]

(Oh Ma-hatt, honey, your mailbox is full again)

009: I'm freaking out over here. What is taking you guys?

[Matt O'S oo4]

004 slips into the passage behind the casino without being seen. Softly stealing along the dimly lit corridor, he hears a bit of argumentation from a behind a door. He stops to listen in. The language...its not English...what the...

[Joyce Carrington]

009: Bryce, the others are somewhere in this corridor. What do you say we just run straight ahead until we bump into them?

[Bryce (003)]

Great...I can just see the headlines:

"Four MI6 operatives killed in stupid mistake"

Let's hold. Where the Hell are the DSS men from 'five?

[Xenobia]

002: For all we know...they are hanging out elsewhere. If we don't move ahead the headlines are going to read "Her Majesty Failed by her Secret Servants." I say wait for 008 and I to join you and then we all march on.

-- Xenobia

[Matt O'S oo4]

The corridor by best estimates streches onward some two hundred meters due to its meandering nature. The lighting is dim and the bodies that 009 and 003 see DO appear to be dressed like the ususla MI5 op.

002, 008 have you moved on past the room mentioned? 004 is standing outside that door way at the moment.

009 & 003 are apparently dumbfounded by the bodies and lack of communication with other ops.

What are you going to do?

004

[Xenobia]

008 and 002 are coming up on 004 now.

002: Greetings Matt. Lovely night for lynching.

004: I should say so. Shall we find some wankers to lynch.

002: Oh, absolutely.

-- Xenobia

[Matt O'S oo4]

Shhhh.

004 points to the door. I think we have some right here...

Sounds like an argument going on...

[Xenobia]

004: Recognize the language?

002: I'm almost afraid to say it, but yeah I do.

(GM, can I pick the language)

-- Xenobia

[Xenobia]

008: Are you going to share or leave us in suspence?

002: It's the native language of the Philipines.

004: That makes a certain amount of sense; there is a radical terrorist insurgance there, but ah...they don't exactly look Filipino.

002: Can anyone say code language?

-- Xenobia

[Joyce Carrington]

009, over the sub-v: Code language.

002: Not you, Joyce!

009: Oops.

[Matt O'S oo4]

That's okay, honey.

Just put on your nightfinders and keep a spare ckip handy.

Ya know what I mean?

[Joyce Carrington]

I don't have nightfinders... do you, 003?

[Matt O'S oo4]

OVER Sib V

009, 003 should have a back-up pair for just such an emergency.

You'll be fine.

[Joyce Carrington]

*deep breath*

Okay.

*gets nightfinders*

I'm ready.

[Matt O'S oo4]

Must be the smell.

Hey, 003....what gives?

Too much ice or what?
