"You think you can beat us? All of us? These foxes couldn't do a thing to us. What do you think you can do? Even if I did know what you were wanting, just you few couldn't do a thing to us!" He seems a bit comfident in this, and indeed that was a fortress back there, with enough weaponry to make puddles out of anyone they didn't want near.

But sadly, I'm just at the point where we should just start cutting things off him till he tells us what we want...I've got the knives.", sighing as she rubs her eye lids and realizes she may be getting a bit biased for a moment. "Point is, this guy can have use or he can be useless...we only need him alive and willing for him to be useful.

The human smerks again, "You few won't be able to do a thing to us, nothing just a small handful of mutant freaks can do to harm us." he says again. Then the communicator chimes in, "Oy, you all foxes yet? Can I get an update, been quiet so far, need a pick up yet? Or is there anyone left to pick up?" Comes Mike's voice.<br> <br>Angus catches the vial and just shrugs. "Peace is something you have to fight for. It's not going to fall into your lap as you're sitting there and just damn well whining." The humans smerk just pisses him off, and he shrugs. "You can pretend to act all big and bad if you want, but you already pissed yourself. I can smell it on you, and I'm growing bored and hungry."

We're all fine and dandy, have had some trouble with the local survivalists and been unable to reach the RSX team. I don't suppose that helicopter is armed is it?

"Do as you wish to him then, we won't be involved in handing someone over to The Wolf." She says, "Take hold of him, and my fingers will let go." she says, walking north toward home. The human looks very scared at this point.. and... what.. what is that smell? Oh god did he? Well, he must have. Then, he laughs again, "There are more then 50 of us, we are armed to the teeth, no way you will get in with just four mutants and a hand full of foxes!" He says.

"Good. Thank you, I'm done with these games anyway." Turning he walks up to the Human and grabs him by the throat, lifting him until his feet were dangling off the ground. "No more games. Talk, or I give you a set of fangs to match mine." He says coldy as he stares the human in the eye.<br> <br>Fenris sighs. "The thing is, whatever happens here, you won't be a part of that 50 strong, armed to the teeth group anymore.

Your friends will do it for us. Do you think that PURE humans will let someone who was held by the fox mind and a bunch of mutants back into the fort?" "We could help you though. Take you away to somewhere safe. Or you can join the wolf."	+	Alastor slithered over to Fenris, "We can try that if he does not give uss enough information."

Staring at the coyote take control of the man from the foxes, she gave a light nod and sighed. "Was supposed to be a nice walk, see the old sights and such.", continuing to watch the 'interrogation', "Let's speed this up."<br> <br>Alastor gets his radio out, deciding to call for backup since he could think of nothing else. He pulls away from the group a little bit. "Mike, we need assisstance. Apparently it is more of a problem than we once thought. There are 50 strong at the base and we have no way insside. Let alone if the Foxmind dies out then Wolfmind will overrun. Thingss are complicated. Check if any of the three factions will send more operatives." The midright stated into the radio.<br> <br>With Alastor taking the radio, Mike responds, "Roger... give me a minute." Silence again, the human looks to Angus as the Foxes leave. "Do your worst flea bag." he says, though he long since soiled his pants in all ways imaginable. Then, Mike over the radio, "Z is call you all back, this is a worse situation then we could have imagined. I'm coming to pick you all up, mission done, good job, pay will be credited to your accounts, see you at the pick up in 5 minutes or less!" He says, the sounds of his chopper warming up in the background.<br> <br>Angus smirks. "I thought you would never ask." He looks the human over, and then the scent of him actually soiling himself actually registers. "Well....that ruins an appetite." He gags, stickings his tongue out as he turns to face the group. "Can I just kill him instead? Seriously, I can't eat something that smells this bad..."<br> <br>Fenris stands up and dusts the grass off his coat. "That or leave him for the foxes." He shakes his head. "Though, I doubt that they want him either," he wrinkles his nose in disgust.<br> <br>Kattie gives a slight nod to Angus's request to kill the human, "As far as I'm concerned do whatever you want with him.". Sighing at the request to return, she had wanted to handle the situation, but they were greatly out numbered and far weaker than within the city. "Well, I suppose we'll be coming back with bigger guns to finish this."<br> <br>Alastor was relieved as Mike said they would be taken back and more operatives would handle it. "Thankss Mike, glad to hear it. We'll be there." He hears what Angus says and looks concerned. "Wh-why would you kill him? Just becausse they attempted to kill uss? I would assume all of us here were born human, and even if not, some part of us is human." He stated, looking defensive. Angus acted like it was not big deal to take a life.<br> <br>Foxes departing, orders to head back, the human trimbling in Angus' grasp, and Mike returning any minute, final actions would have to be done soon before Mike would be back and potentionally being shot at!<br> <br>Angus grins a little bit to happily as he draws a Tomahawk from his belt. "Well now, since we can't just leave you to the foxes I might as well chop you up!" His eyes flash, his grin getting a little maniacal. Before Alastor catches his attention and he blinks, turning his head to look at him. "He's a threat, we let him go he will stab us in the back....But fine, we can take him with us instead. Maybe he'll talk to Z after they give him a change of pants."<br> <br>Fenris heaves a sigh of relief. This was already uglier than he had hoped for. He turns and calls after the foxes as the team hurries to the pick up point, "We'll be back with help! We'll find peace for you!" He hopes that it is true.<br> <br>Kattie gives the foxes a polite wave as they depart, then turns to watch Angus handle the human. Giving a light shrug as he was spared, "If nothing else, maybe his perspective will change after he has met some of the locals...either good or bad.". She wasn't a fan of the foxmind, but considering who had been helping them and who had been shooting at them, she was wasn't feeling all that kind towards the human. "Well let's head back."<br> <br>Alastor slithers forward when Angus went to hack the human up, giving slight huffs of relief when he changed his mind. "H-here... If you don't like dealing with him I'll detain him in my coilss. He won't get away from me." The rightmost said quickly. He looked back to where the other humans had fallen. "I'll even try to carry any survivors if needed." His midleft said with a heavy heart. He did not like this was how things were, but for those so violent in their methods this is how it would play out. "Th..thank you for sparing him Angus." The leftmost told the coyote.

Log

Rooftop of Z tower, and Mike is waiting, ready to go, "It might be dangerous out there everyone, make sure you are ready before you board this chopper, I'll be dropping you all off, then heading to Crator Lake, nearest green zone to the drop point." He explains to everyone as he awaits for all to board. Inside, the chopper is unusually loaded up, bullets, medkits, emergancy rations, just about everything that could be needed. Z knew better then to go into this unprepared.

"Not really something that you can easily get ready for." The loader snaps shut on Angus' revolver before he reholsters it and looks to Mike with a frown. Oregon, the last place he ever wanted to visit a second time.... "So, mind explaining the situation a little bit more. Or should we wait until we touch ground?" He quirks an eyebrow, looking over Mike before he just shrugs and steps up into the chopper.

Fenris shakes his head. He may be in over his head. "Might as well hop to it," he mutters as he swings into the helicopter.

"Actually surprisingly ready, been a long while since I've been back.", shaking her head as she makes a gesture for her wisp to disappear for the time being before slinging an odd looking rifle over her shoulder. Looking at the other two, then to Mike the kitsune smirked, "This should be fun."

Fenris roars, " I've never been to Oregon. Is it as bad as they say?"

With the copper loaded up, Mike takes off, looking over his shoulder as he goes, "Not much information, it seems something strange with one of the packminds over here, something that doesn't quite add up and make sense. Anyway, some RSX agents are being held in this old courthouse that was rebuilt into a fort of some kind. The contract that the higher ups made with them have us going in, figuring out what went wrong, and then getting their agents out. Think you three can handle that?" he asks.

Angus sighs as he turns to Fenris. "Bad, worse, can't find a decent cup of coffee anywere in the damn place. Not to mention the packminds are annoying as hell." Walking over to the side of the Helicopter he looks out at the ground as it passes by. "Something that doesn't add up? What are you talking about?" That caught his attention, his eyes narrowing as they get closer to Oregon and the wolfmind starts to get a little restless. Clawing at his thoughts ever so slightly...

Fenris leans back in his seat. "I hope coffee is the biggest problem we have to deal with."

Kattie takes a seat in the chopper as she nods towards Mike again, "Ohh, I think we'll be fine. Spent a lot of time around there before P-day and let's just say, I've got a present should the packmind get a bit...weirder than normal.". Smirking, she listened to the coyote and tiger, then nodded in a bit of agreement. "Indeed, rather curious what isn't adding up...especially if it involves RSX, though suppose we may just discover as well."

Getting close to the drop zone, Mike lowers the chopper down, "Not sure, something about the packmind things in the area not wanting to rip you in half and just take you away, about them not even when attacked." He says as the chopper makes its touchdown. It is raining, a lot and hard, but in the distance, to the north, an old building can be seen still standing, and off to the left, what looks like a ransacked chopper, "Aww, shit, RSX is going to have a hell of a time recovering that." Says Mike. So far, everything is quite except for the sound of the chopper blades and the pitter patter of the rain, "This is your stop, take this." Mike says tossing a hand held radio toward Kattie, "Give me a call when you are ready for pick up." he says.

Angus hops off the Chopper, and then his head snaps back to Mike. "Wait what? They aren't attacking.....shit." His muzzle clamps shut as he grinds his teeth, if they weren't attacking that meant one of two things. Either it had a sneaky plan in store for them...or something else is a miss here. Standing in the rain for a few minutes he sighs, his fur becoming plastered to his skin as he starts walking towards the old building as he mutters. "Alright, lets see what shit we can get into."

Fenris jumps from the chopper and hurries after Angus. The cold may not be a threat, but no one wants to be in close quarters with a wet tiger.

"Huh...that's...not a good thing. Ohh well, let's just hope that makes the trip calmer.". Catching the radio, Kattie nodded to Mike before leaving the chopper, the mass of her tails losing their sway as she groaned, "Ohh, figures...raining.'. Following after the coyote with a small pause at the chopper, "Hmm, wonder if there was anyone I knew in there.", shrugging softly with a frown she resumed toward the building.

Outside of the bubble, hunger and thirst hit thoughs used to the sustaining effects of the nanites, but as everyone comes closer to the building, an alarm sounds, lights powering on and pointed toward Angus, Fenris, and Kattie! Loud blaring sounds, and Mike takes off for the green zone. People... humans, start to pour out from the building.

Angus covers his eyes as the lights power on, the water running down his fur starting to freeze into ice chips as he sighs. "Hello there, guess you're the ones that we were sent to support?" He asks, grinding his teeth even more. He had to come to Oregon, the one place where he couldn't just shut the Wolfmind up. It continued to claw at his mind, trying to break through the barrier he had constructed to keep it trapped as he does his best to keep his hands away from his guns while the humans were still agitated.

Fenris flicks his eyes around the field, instictively looking for the best ground should a fight break out. "It's times like this I regret not carrying a gun," he mutters to his companions. The tiger does his best to look friendly and keeps his hands in sight. No one needs to realize that those are the only weapons he uses anyway.

Kattie had almost forgotten what was like to be hungry and thirsty, though is far less concerned about that as the alarm begins blaring, "Ohh, yeah...they haven't changed...always hated those alarms.", twitching her ears for a moment watches the humans begin to pour out. Snagging her thumb around the chain of her ID, she held it up slowly, "You called us, so how about not pointing those things at us."

As the humans come out, they raise rifles at the three agents, firing, though for now it seems they aim primarilly at the Coyote! These likely are not the people who called for aid. In fact, didn't the report say something about the RSX agents being held inside of a courthouse? A few more come out, weapons raised and ready to fire, a few holding things more powerful then simple rifles! The shots at Angus miss, barely, wizzing by as the coyote dodges.

Angus still had his hand over his eyes when a bullet zips past his head, his eyes widening in surprise as he throws himself to the side as they open fire on him. "What the hell!?" He shouts as he hits the ground and rolls, his revolver drawn in his left hand as he gets back to his feet while kneeling. His right hand placed on the soaked ground, glaring as he waits for the right moment.

Fenris flings himself forward and into a serpentine pattern, leaping for the top of the gate. If he can get out of the light and close the distance before they get the chain guns firing, the operatives might be able to avoid much bloodshed here.

Kattie groans at the gunfire, shaking her head slowly as she turns. "Ohh joy...get ready to run, I've got an idea.", making several gestures she hoped the lack of the bubble didn't effect her powers that much, as she attempted to bring down a mirage upon the field, hoping to at least confuse them into firing at illusion based versions of the group heading opposite of them.

As Angus rolls, Fenris charges, and Kattie attempts to confuse, from the far brush comes charging a large group of feral foxes! The humans turn their weapons on them, firing at them. It is easy to tell these are not normal foxes though, first of all, they all look exactly the same, from eye color, to fur pattern. Next, the ones that take significate hits turn into nothing but goo. Enough survive however, to grab hold of each of the agents, struggling or not, and drag them the many yards back to the underbrush, where waits more foxes, one of them saying, "Stay low, and get to the east, now." then another few rush out to distract. The lead fox starts crawling away, saying low to the ground, trying to lead the group away, it isn't long though before the sight of another is there, a hydra, laying passed out in the brush.

Angus snarls as soon as the foxes appear, his attention turning to them as he levels his gun. Foxmind, his gaze tints read as he watches them, fighting against the urge to not only attack them but to disregard their words. turning he starts running, keeping his head low as he books it towards the east. Anger rising as he didn't trust the Foxmind one bit, but there wasn't an option.

Kattie seems almost surprised at the appearance of the foxmind, while she wasn't fond of any of the packminds, she could at least relate this one slightly. "We're sooo gonna regret this...but I kinda trust them slightly more than the people shooting at us...", groaning again, she followed behind the coyote, a great deal of grace in her steps as she disappeared into the east, still ready to open fire should the foxmind turn on them...or bring out her toy.

Alastor is in darkness, and it is as if all his senses are flooding groggily back to him. The hydra's eyes collectively focus and come to consciousness as he recovers. He looks around to find himself in the brush and is not sure how he ended up here. He remembered he had been responding to a request for aid sent from RSX. When he leans up and pulls his body to a sitting position he can hear gunfire in the distance and there are people coming his way! He flips over to his belly and slithers low on the ground behind some cover, a head peeking out to assess what was going on.

The foxes continue to provide a distraction as the leader leads the agents into the forests a bit farther to the east. Once there, she relaxes, looking at everyone. "Those.. those are our local survivalists, still human, like we all once were, but, they seem intent on killing anything not human still." she says, taking a moment to shiver against the cold rain. Out of danger it is easier to get a look at the few foxes that now surround the group. They all look starved, as if not quite enough was used to form them in the first place. "I'm.. I'm Sandrira, and, we need your help, the agents who came before you need help, they are locked up inside their fortress. Once.. once they figured out that the humans want to kill Fox and take all this for their own, and, that we were not attacking, they went in with questions... those humans don't like questions." she says.

Angus lets loose a low growl as he draws his other revolver and gives the foxes surrounding them a cautious glare. "Foxmind, what makes you think we will just trust any of you?" He asks as he bares his fangs a little. They were the enemy, they attacked him before for what he was and this time he wasn't going to take any chances just to get his throat torn out....

Moving in her in front of Angus, she looks at him with a smile, "Be calm...they seem different and if they try anything...it would end badly...to say the least.". Turning her gaze to Sandrira with a smirk, her tails swaying in sequence behind her, "It's a pleasure, I'm Kattie. Now this makes a great deal more sense than I would have expected. And it does seem that our goals are in alignment..."

Fenris relaxes a little. "Are the packminds usually so...civil?" he whispers to Kattie. This isn't quite what he expected from the packminds.

Alastor sees the people pass into the forest and catches sight of one of them wearing a lab coat. Curious, he slithers closer and catches some of the conversation, recognizing Angus, and realizes, or at least hopes, that it must be more backup. He slides into view slowly. "Don't shoot at me! It is me Alastor of Zephyr. I was knocked unconscious somehow and found myself here." The midright head told the group.

The leftmost of his heads was still unconscious, and hung limply to the side. The others were in varying states of recovery. The rightmost hissed, "Lefty! Ack, I'm ssorry for all the sstuff I said about you, j-jusst wake up will you?" It said as it nudged at the leftmost worriedly. The midleft still looked very dazed and its eyes were not focusing.

Looking to Angus, Sandrira can't help but growl back, "We don't have time nor the power to fight with you Wolf! So either leave or control yourself!" she barks, a few of the other fingers of the fox growling at Angus as well. Drool drips from most of their muzzles, and eventually one of them actually lunges for Fenris! But Sandrira forces another finger to tackle that one back to the ground. "P.. Parden us.. please. We haven't eaten in months, and.. they are starving us to death. With the traps they have set, and their hunting parties, we haven't been able to catch the Deer that Coyote and Fox gave us so..." and she puts her muzzle to the ground, "you honestly all look like the most appatizing things we've seen in a while, but we would never, we couldn't, you'd all be forced to join The Fox if we did, we couldn't..." she says again, but there is a definate rumble in her belly, "Please... we're begging, we need help or we'll all die!" she cries out with a yap. As Alastor comes up, Sandrira looks him over, "Glad you.. you are awake, we had to carry you to safety after those humans gassed you." she says.

Angus glares at Kattie, before he turns his guns to the foxes growling at him. "I'm sorry, I don't deal with weak prey!" He snaps, Wolf whipsering in his mind as he continues to watch them. He was conflicted, Wolf said they were prey....but he couldn't ingore a cry for help even from such creatures. With a sigh he lowers his guns, his gaze still cold as he glares at Sandrira. "You better damn well not be lying. As this is your one chance." His ears flick as he hears something, someone in the brush. And he has a new target for his aggitation and rage, the grip on the handles of his revolvers tightening as he keeps his back to them for now.

Fenris's ears flick toward the cave entrance. As if all of this wasn't surreal enough, now there was another enigma to deal with. He wishes he had chosen a more puncture proof form for this foray out of the bubble. Following Angus's lead, despite Wolf's interference, he agrees to help Sadrira. "But we may need to address our visitor outside before we do anything else."

Kattie glares into Angus's eyes as he turns towards her, trying to force some submission though finding herself coming up a bit short against the power of the wolfmind within the coyote. "They won't...I assure you they will regret it if they do.", turning as her ears twitch from a sound, she pops her neck and reaches into her coat, while the other hand moves to the stock of the odd rifle. "So, foxes...you're going to get a chance to prove just how much you want all of our help. This comes out well...you have it...at least mine, the others have their own say."

Alastor is still having trouble processing what is going on. No one opened fire on him at least. He also listened as Sandrira said she helped him and he could tell how hungry they were. His midright head immediately reached back to his pack, slipping the strap from around the limp head carefully. "Here. You ssaved me. I should give you something in return." He said and the rightmost head pulled out 5 big sticks of what looked like jerky. He even began to slither over to them, apparently not realizing what they were. But he stopped when he heard movement in the brush and tensed up. The rainbow quills along his back raised and he turned ready to eject them at a would-be enemy.

The sight of food, the foxes pounce on it, eating it quickly, ripping it up and devouring it all almost as quickly as it could fall, then, they react to the sounds of something coming out from the brush, humans, guns, they must have followed out here after the foxes after they got organised! They raise their guns to start shooting, but there are only 4 of them. The foxes look as if they'd like to fight but Sandrira shakes her head, "Not fang or claw! If we do, they'd have to join The Fox!" she says to the foxes before they start to move against the humans.

Angus gives Kattie a slight glance, before he turns to the humans and snorted. "typical, weak idiots." He snaps as he takes a step forward. "They haven't even opened fired yet, have you even thought that they could be here just to chat?" He asks, yet his guns never drop as they are pointed in the humans directions, his aim directed at anything none vital to try to subdue if they do actually open fire.

Fenris does his best to present as little target as possible while slipping the stun rods from his pack. "Who are you people and what have you done with the operatives who sent the distress call?" The tiger prepares himself to fly at the humans if they prove hostile. He still hopes that the fight won't be neccessary. After all, he didn't even bring a knife to this gun fight.

Kattie groans at the sight, waiting to see who moves first, themselves or the humans. Meanwhile her hand moves within her coat, removing something from within. "Set down the weapons and leave.", she mumbles preparing to throw the knife into the first one that moves to shoot.

Alastor was suprised as the jerky he dropped to ready himself was eaten up so voraciously by the foxes. They all looked so similar... it was only just now that he realized there was something strange about them. The hydra stays from launching the quills after Angus spoke and instead chose to bring up extra defenses, activating the Hard as Scales power of his, hoping it would work outside of the bubble. He crouches low to the ground ready to strike should the situation prove dangerous.

Before the knives can even be flung, shots are fired! Angus, Kattie, and Fenris manage to dodge out of the way, while Alastor's armored hide takes the shot well, causing no more harm then a pin prick to the Hydra. Then, the knives strike one of the homans, cutting into his shoulder and chest, doubling him over. The others prepare for another volley of shots, the foxes attempting to tackle them over, knocking one to the ground. The other three train their aim!

Well...looks like he was wrong, oh well. The bullet goes right past Angus' hip, and that's all he needs to take aim at one of the three still standing. He pulls both triggers, the guns barking in his hands as his target twitches and goes down with lead in ther leg and chest.

Fenris leaps into action, giving his wings a hard flap to boost his speed toward the hostile humans. His stun baton crackles to life in his hand. Unfortunately, he overshot in the dark and missed his agile opponent.

Kattie tosses out another couple knives without giving as much time as she should towards their target, watching as they impact though bounce off. Sighing, she considers a different approach.

Alastor rushes forward angrily, heads still pounding and now filled with adrenaline at being shot at. His three active heads begin to leak a dark substance out of their mouths which he coughs up and sprays over the humans attacking them, hitting two, chilling them and hurting them with a shadowy breath attack.

The humans just about to get the next volley off as they are struck down, most bleeding out or completey incopasitated. However, the one the foxes knocked over is still alive and awake, "Fuck you all, furry, scaled, abominations! This is our home, and we'll take it back!" He yells as the foxes grip at his clothing to hold him down. "We got the rest of you fucking locked up in there, and the next hunting party will kill you all." He says, gloating even in defeat. Sandrira growls, it is taking a lot of focus to not devour the fallen humans, "He's right, if this keeps up, they will kill us all... please, either get them to see reason, that we just want to live in peace, or find them another home, The Fox was here first!" She says, and the human spits toward here, "You may have been here first, but this is all ours now! We traveled for months to get away for those wolf bastards, you foxes are easy pickings." He laughs.

Angus smirks, his ears perking up as he walks over to the laughing human. "Oh you are correct, they are easy pickings. Weak, especially in this state." He comments, laughing a little before he shakes his head. "But if you thought you escaped us Wolves so easily. You're dead wrong." He holsters both revolvers as he walks up beside the foxes and looks down at their captive, his fangs flashing as he stares.

Fenris sighs, another heroic failure covered by the fox mind. He starts to rifle through the gear of the incapacitated survivalists, hoping to find something useful. There must be a comm unit or some info or a useful weapon or SOMETHING here that will help. Besides not looking at Angus seems like a really good idea right now.

Kattie glares at Angus as takes a long way around to avoid Angus as she looks down at the captured human, trying to break his mind before realizing she really needs to practice more. "Ohh, that's fairly disturbing...best tell him what he wants before well...you're joining him or something equally displeasing to one such as yourself.". Still staring down at the human, she shrugs for a brief moment.

Alastor actually felt bad for the survivalist. He could have easily been one of their number if he had not joined Zephyr. Especially with how adamant he had been to not get infected at the start. He wanted to say something, but it seemed like the others had it under control so he just watched and waited after moving close enough to the rest of the group.

Still holding her fingers back, Sandrira looks to Angus. She growls a moment, "Any other day, and we'd spare you not a minute before ripping you apart." she says, but his threats seem to have a nice effect on the still awake human. His eyes go wide and his pants go damp as he stammers. "What..You.. wolf.. NO no, get away! Get away from me!!" he says struggling against the foxes the hold him down. "It doesn't matter, take me away, once we are through the foxes here, we will go north to deal with wolf!" He says to which Sandrira can only laugh! "Without The Fox and The Coyote, The Wolf would overrun you puny humans in less then a week! Right now only The Coyote can send detachments to fight The Wolf! By straving us to death you are sealing your own fate!!" She says, the human only scolfs, but looks fearfully to Angus.

Angus flashes Sandrira a smile. "If it was any other day, I would love to see you try." Turning back to the human he starts laughing at how he cowers. "Oh, but I'm starting to like you. Why would I ever go away?" Turning around he just shrugs. "Oh fine, I'll leave you be...but I would start talking, tell them what you want. Or they might just give you to me..."

Fenris pulls a vial from his satchel. "Wolf," he mouths to the others. Hoping they catch on to his idea without giving anything away to the captive survivalist.

Kattie pauses for a moment and pulls the radio from her pocket, "I think I may have a way in or at least a way to make a bit of trouble.", snickering for a brief moment, she debated calling Mike back, but choose to wait for a better moment. "As for this one...I say we give him something and send him back...may not work, but it will be good for him to know something is always within him...Unless he wants to give us the weaknesses, passwords or anything else worthwhile for getting into that little base of his."

Alastor watches and notices Fenris mouthing wolf. The hydra heads wondered if that would work, threatening to infect him with a wolf-type. His leftmost head finally stirred as it was regaining consciousness. Apparently the gas he had been hit with had affected it the worst. "Whe-where am I?" It asked in a weak voice. "Lefty!" The rightmost hissed. "Don't worry, we'll fill ya in later." He whispered. Alastor slithered over to Fenris, "We can try that if he does not give uss enough information." The midright head whispered.

Looking at everyone, he eventually just laughs! "You think you can beat us? All of us? These foxes couldn't do a thing to us. What do you think you can do? Even if I did know what you were wanting, just you few couldn't do a thing to us!" He seems a bit comfident in this, and indeed that was a fortress back there, with enough weaponry to make puddles out of anyone they didn't want near. The rain continues on, soaking everyone through and trough. Sandrira looks to everyone, "You.. want to infect him with THE WOLF!? Are you insane! It is more humane to slowly gut him and fed it to him then infect him with THe Wolf!" She says.

Angus turns right back to the Foxes. "And why not? Has his actions been anymore humane then mine? Feeding him his own guts would be to kind, this way at least the little bastard could be useful!" He shoves his hands into his pockets as he looks at them all calmly, and lies through his teeth. "Besides. It's only a matter of time until Wolf comes to pay them a visit. Now that he knows you're all here."

Fenris tosses the wolf beast vial to Angus. "The delayed syrum. Give fox enough time to clear out before Wolf comes howling." He hopes that fox understands the deception and doesn't turn on them.

Kattie blinks a few times, almost sighing with boredom as the man rants for a moment, then turning toward Sandrira, she cocks her ears with a light shrug of her shoulders, "I wanted to infect him with something more fun and enjoy to watch. But sadly, I'm just at the point where we should just start cutting things off him till he tells us what we want...I've got the knives.", sighing as she rubs her eye lids and realizes she may be getting a bit biased for a moment. "Point is, this guy can have use or he can be useless...we only need him alive and willing for him to be useful. I don't like the wolf at all, but whatever works.", looking at the others for a moment, she smirked, "Don't forget, I'm sure we could call in the helicopter if we really need to...for a reason...I'm not sure."

Alastor is not as good at playing along as the others. The hydra hangs back and just attempts to look intimidating, three heads looming, but the leftmost still looking about confused. He was not used to being out here. Why did he have to answer the call just because his boyfriend worked for RSX? He wondered.

As the vial is passed, the foxes all look to Angus, then back to everyone else. They start growlling, "We want help living in peace!! Not to make more of The Wolf!" Cries Sandrira. The human smerks again, "You few won't be able to do a thing to us, nothing just a small handful of mutant freaks can do to harm us." he says again. Then the communicator chimes in, "Oy, you all foxes yet? Can I get an update, been quiet so far, need a pick up yet? Or is there anyone left to pick up?" Comes Mike's voice.

Angus catches the vial and just shrugs. "Peace is something you have to fight for. It's not going to fall into your lap as you're sitting there and just damn well whining." The humans smerk just pisses him off, and he shrugs. "You can pretend to act all big and bad if you want, but you already pissed yourself. I can smell it on you, and I'm growing bored and hungry." He glares at the Foxes, his Migraine starting to get worse as the Wolfmind continues to try and take over.

Fenris looks back toward the courthouse. How long had the party who followed them been gone? Would the survivalists have missed them yet? What about that other hunting party? "Maybe it's time to give the signal to the others?" he bluffed.

Pausing a moment as she heard the foxes she looked to Sandrira and gave her a small quick look, trying to remind her they mentioned a difference, maybe they'd figure out that it wasn't actually the wolfmind without it being revealed. Hearing the radio, she smirked again and removed it from her pocket and nodded at the others as she got just out of earshot of the human, "Well to be fair, I'm fox like...though no, we're not part of the foxmind, it's rather interesting to say the least. We're all fine and dandy, have had some trouble with the local survivalists and been unable to reach the RSX team. I don't suppose that helicopter is armed is it? Or you packed some explosives...Is there anyway to contact the RSX team on this thing...?"

Alastor only watched, hoping their bluffing would work. His heads all looked about and tried to think of other ways to help, but he could come up with nothing for now. The others had put forth better plans.

Looking to Kattie, Sandrira blinks a few times, but then backs away, the foxes still holding the human down. "Do as you wish to him then, we won't be involved in handing someone over to The Wolf." She says, "Take hold of him, and my fingers will let go." she says, walking north toward home. The human looks very scared at this point.. and... what.. what is that smell? Oh god did he? Well, he must have. Then, he laughs again, "There are more then 50 of us, we are armed to the teeth, no way you will get in with just four mutants and a hand full of foxes!" He says. Mike gives some unfortunate news, "You think I could carry all that gear, all of you, and weapons on my bird? No way! But if you guys need a pick up, just let me know, Mike out." he says, the radio going silent for now.

Angus sighs as he pinches the bridge of his muzzle and growls, his migraine getting worse as he tries to Focus through the Wolfminds influence. "Good. Thank you, I'm done with these games anyway." Turning he walks up to the Human and grabs him by the throat, lifting him until his feet were dangling off the ground. "No more games. Talk, or I give you a set of fangs to match mine." He says coldy as he stares the human in the eye.

Fenris sighs. "The thing is, whatever happens here, you won't be a part of that 50 strong, armed to the teeth group anymore. All it takes is a bite from our friend here and you don't even get to warn the rest of your crew." He flops into the grass and looks away from the enraged Angus. "We won't kill you, we don't have to. Your friends will do it for us. Do you think that PURE humans will let someone who was held by the fox mind and a bunch of mutants back into the fort?" "We could help you though. Take you away to somewhere safe. Or you can join the wolf."

"Alright, thanks Mike, keep in touch.", clicking the radio offfor a moment, Kattie rubs her eyes again, letting out a soft growl of a groan, "This was supposed to be a simple day...just a simple day....I'm considering heading back seeing if they was still anything worth looting from that helicopter that was crashed, though I'm betting the humans already got to it.". Staring at the coyote take control of the man from the foxes, she gave a light nod and sighed. "Was supposed to be a nice walk, see the old sights and such.", continuing to watch the 'interrogation', "Let's speed this up."

Alastor gets his radio out, deciding to call for backup since he could think of nothing else. He pulls away from the group a little bit. "Mike, we need assisstance. Apparently it is more of a problem than we once thought. There are 50 strong at the base and we have no way insside. Let alone if the Foxmind dies out then Wolfmind will overrun. Thingss are complicated. Check if any of the three factions will send more operatives." The midright stated into the radio.

With Alastor taking the radio, Mike responds, "Roger... give me a minute." Silence again, the human looks to Angus as the Foxes leave. "Do your worst flea bag." he says, though he long since soiled his pants in all ways imaginable. Then, Mike over the radio, "Z is call you all back, this is a worse situation then we could have imagined. I'm coming to pick you all up, mission done, good job, pay will be credited to your accounts, see you at the pick up in 5 minutes or less!" He says, the sounds of his chopper warming up in the background.

Angus smirks. "I thought you would never ask." He looks the human over, and then the scent of him actually soiling himself actually registers. "Well....that ruins an appetite." He gags, stickings his tongue out as he turns to face the group. "Can I just kill him instead? Seriously, I can't eat something that smells this bad..."

Fenris stands up and dusts the grass off his coat. "That or leave him for the foxes." He shakes his head. "Though, I doubt that they want him either," he wrinkles his nose in disgust.

Kattie gives a slight nod to Angus's request to kill the human, "As far as I'm concerned do whatever you want with him.". Sighing at the request to return, she had wanted to handle the situation, but they were greatly out numbered and far weaker than within the city. "Well, I suppose we'll be coming back with bigger guns to finish this."

Alastor was relieved as Mike said they would be taken back and more operatives would handle it. "Thankss Mike, glad to hear it. We'll be there." He hears what Angus says and looks concerned. "Wh-why would you kill him? Just becausse they attempted to kill uss? I would assume all of us here were born human, and even if not, some part of us is human." He stated, looking defensive. Angus acted like it was not big deal to take a life.

Foxes departing, orders to head back, the human trimbling in Angus' grasp, and Mike returning any minute, final actions would have to be done soon before Mike would be back and potentionally being shot at!

Angus grins a little bit to happily as he draws a Tomahawk from his belt. "Well now, since we can't just leave you to the foxes I might as well chop you up!" His eyes flash, his grin getting a little maniacal. Before Alastor catches his attention and he blinks, turning his head to look at him. "He's a threat, we let him go he will stab us in the back....But fine, we can take him with us instead. Maybe he'll talk to Z after they give him a change of pants."

Fenris heaves a sigh of relief. This was already uglier than he had hoped for. He turns and calls after the foxes as the team hurries to the pick up point, "We'll be back with help! We'll find peace for you!" He hopes that it is true.

Kattie gives the foxes a polite wave as they depart, then turns to watch Angus handle the human. Giving a light shrug as he was spared, "If nothing else, maybe his perspective will change after he has met some of the locals...either good or bad.". She wasn't a fan of the foxmind, but considering who had been helping them and who had been shooting at them, she was wasn't feeling all that kind towards the human. "Well let's head back."

Alastor slithers forward when Angus went to hack the human up, giving slight huffs of relief when he changed his mind. "H-here... If you don't like dealing with him I'll detain him in my coilss. He won't get away from me." The rightmost said quickly. He looked back to where the other humans had fallen. "I'll even try to carry any survivors if needed." His midleft said with a heavy heart. He did not like this was how things were, but for those so violent in their methods this is how it would play out. "Th..thank you for sparing him Angus." The leftmost told the coyote.
