Look we can discuss this later right now we have a purrtential crisis, we won't be able to do anything for our leader if he's been slain.

Wait, didn't he say he was in constant contact with us through a radio in his helmet?
Uh, let's see if this works.
Hey, what's going on over there?

>>621000
It's a good idea to check if it's a two-way link (odd that we never checked before), but if Cyclops Supreme was in constant contact with us as we are with him, shouldn't we all be able to hear him right now?

>>621007
"Get in here, you fools! It's getting away!"

*gunshots*

>>621070
Hang on, sir! Otto, lead us to his quarters!

rolled 21 = 21

[stealth check to arrive without attracting intruder's attention]

Did he just say "IT"? Is there a rodent in there!?

Let us get to murdering things damn it!

>>621075
Rodent catching would be your area of expertise wouldn't it, cat? Get a move on.

Alright maggots! It's game time!
Let us march in and kick this Micky Mouse wanabe right in the rumble spheres and go back to preparing for sweet victory! Move out!

>>621080
Alright, cat, get in there. I'm not bothering with intruders, cardboard is good for hiding, not fighting.

Sounds like what ever "it" is, it is fleeing. It must be wounded or scared we have the advantage so let's go hunting!

>>621070
you got it, boss-man!
>Riot: Recreate the Shining

*smashes glass bottle*

Lets do this.

Alright, seems I'll deploy my mercs right away.
*bzzt* Get in there, you dogs of war! Them kibble bits ain't cheap!

Remeber to knock first! Who knows what is going on in the Leader's room!

>>621070
As you command, my liege!

Ancient spirits of evil, grant us unholy speed in exchange for offering of my blood!
*craaaaawliiing in my skiiiin intensifies*

Nyah! Pounce upon the vermin with great gusto!

Ah, not to put a damper on this train of kick ass, but does anyone know where Cyclops Supreme's personal quarters are or are you just going to run randomly through the base in a disorganized mob?

Disorganised, like usual.

>>621125
>>621126
We're following Otto. Problem solved. Can we go already? I'm getting a bit lightheaded.

>>621130
Drink some water. It helps when you've lost blood.

Lets move already maggots!
Every moment not punching something is a moment something is not getting punched!

Let's fuck 'em up! *unnecessarily cocks mauser several times*

YEAH LET'S GO FIND CYCLOPS SUPREME......'S ROOM!

"It took you long enough, you fools! Hurry! It's getting away!"

WHAT'S GETTING AWAY SIR WHERE IS IT!?

>>621175
"The elf of course!"

A note on the bed, a slash on the pillow...Everyone, scan the room for the shine of bladed weapons!

"There, in the vent!"

MOMO FOLLOW ME WE'RE GONNA RIP THAT ELF TO SHREDS.

>>621178
I want a layout of the vents! If the intruder's trying to escape, we need to know the shortest route out! Cut off it's escape!

My lord, can you order a lockdown on the base's ventilation system along with the exits? It would most likely aid our diminutive allies' pursuit after the vermin.

Okay, the rest of us will scan the base for whatever the hell was in Cyclops Supreme's room! You two bring a video camera, we can cross-reference the tracks in the air duct passages to the general layout of the base and narrow down where that sucker went!

And seriously, boss? Basic air ducts? Can't you at least install some air purifiers that kill anything which passes without inputting a password?

>>621185
"Excellent idea! You're in charge of the project. I expect a progress report on my desk first thing tomorrow."

It left a note! First, we read it, obviously. Then, we pull prints off of it! I assume we can do that. Meanwhile, the base should go into full lockdown mode, nobody in or out! We need to find that elf!
Holy shit are we really chasing an elf. Is this for real. We're chasing one of Santa's elves.

Do we have anything in the vents we could track the thing with, cameras or anything? And what's that note say?

Miasma, if you can hear me, be careful. Elves of any allegiance are fae in origin and very vicious when not in their master's vicinity. Be prepared that you'll have a fight with a cornered rat on your han...paws.

>Examine Note

>>621180
I will catch that elf!

I TOLD YOU GUYS

I TOLD YOU ABOUT SANTA CLAUS

>>621206
Oh my god.

Scanning for non-fine particulates in the vent system... damn, it seems there's more than one intruder, or we have a rat infestation. Three signals detected, one in the bathroom vent, one above the trooper cantina, and another near dr. Madman's laboratory.

Someone should sweep for bugs and another group should help secure our little friend in the vents.

Hey, Cyclops, is this the first time Santa's apparently tried to kill you?

End of Chapter I
Unfortunately, this is where we're gonna have to pause for now. But Cyclops Supreme and his nefarious henchmen will be back with more evil schemes!

Oh my god. That fat fucking communist!
How dare he meddle in our grand plans for world domination in the name of America and Cyclops!
We got a midget to hunt down men. I suggest we let the freedom cat go into the vents while we split up to all of the vent exits. Once the tiny fucker pops out we clobber him!

This might be an Ace Defenders mind-screw. This guy might have disguised himself to look like a jolly elf. Remember, our plans have NOT been encrypted, and the Ace Defenders had a Christmas psycho (Sgt. Jimmy Noel).

We can't afford a trip to the north pole because of one spy. But if these attacks continue and we prepare the correct team/gear, we might be able to perform an arctic mission to shut this guy up.

As for the purifiers, I think we can make due with antigravity-contained microwave sand, which induces low-risk radiation in a small contained zone of mostly-sand, churning around to prevent dust and dirt. We'll also need small storage containers, which take air from the vents and separate different gasses into different tanks, which can be released in an emergency.

As for the death part, the sand can be superheated and accelerated in seconds, making a small sandstorm of death. To deactivate the vent temporarily, the user must bypass a coded security lock or hack the controls. Failed attempts to hack will release all the stored gasses at once, in the direction of the sand, while the antigravity is turned off.

Doctor Madman, you up for the challenge? Test a prototype, get it to work, and then come up with a protective coating/armor that allows the machine to do its job while under environmental stress.
