[Gage] <BRIEF> PREVIOUSLY, WE SUCCESSFULLY RESCUED EVE AND MRS. SMITH FROM THE FOH/WEAPON X BASE AFTER ADAM GAVE DRAGON AND CRYZ A POUNDING, HAZARD WALKED INTO THE WOMANS' BATHROOM, AND MYRIAD WENT INTO WITCH-MODE AFTER SENSING SO MUCH HATE FROM THE FOH. WE PICKED RHYTHM AS WELL, WHO ESCAPED WITH EVE.

[Gage] AS THE THREE RESCUEES AWAKENED ABOARD THE CHOPPER, MRS. SMITH REVEALED THAT ADAM WAS ORDERED BY THE DOCTOR TO GO AND KILL THE PRESIDENT (AND NO IT AIN'T BUSH, AND FOR CONTINUITY'S SAKE WILL BE KNOWN ONLY AS 'PRESIDENT'). WE ARE CURRENTLY EN ROUTE TO WASHINGTON TO STOP HIM, AND HAVE BEEN BRIEFED BY MRS. SMITH ON WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE CAN DO. QUESTIONS?

<Bloodshadow> Do we Know how this Bloke is going to try and take out the man?

<Cryz> ::continues to fly:: Hey look, no hands! ::lets go of the stick for a few seconds, causing the chopper to dip down before grabbing it again and leveling off::

<Dragon> ...::eyes the back of Cryz's head::

<Myriad> ::grabs the arms of her seat, glaring in cryz's direction::

[Gage] ::looks up front:: Um, maybe for Eve's sake, don't do that again...thats an order...please.

<Rhythm> ::looking at Mrs. Smith::

<Hazard> Oh we'll at least get shot at more than the guy actually trying to kill the pres, of course..

<Bloodshadow> ::: shruggs : just add it to me rapp sheat ....

[Gage] <Mr. Smith> ::shakes his head:: I don't know what will happen. But if you guys don't stop him, it's going to mean bad things for mutants everywhere and you know it.

<Dragon> ::to Gage:: {{Do any legitimate reasons for the President to casually leave the stage for a moment, come to mind? If we can get him off there without raising alarm...}}

[Gage] ::sweats slightly:: Um...::tries to think::

<Rhythm> ::looks at the stage:: man, i can't believe i'm actually here...

<Hazard> We have our sneaky leprechaun in there now, don't we? Let him handle it. ::crosses his arms, taking a quick glance through the window again::
