“Where do you think he went?” asked Crossfire as the Rangers walked away from the station. They had left pretty quickly, Frozen Rogue could move fast when needed and it looked like he had done just that.

“I don’t know, where would you go?” asked Cryostrike.

“I have no idea; if someone accused me of murder then I would probably try to prove I was innocent.” Crossfire continued.

Cinnamon Brandy activated the comm. “Ops are you there?”

“Gen here CB what can I do for you?”

“We have a situation with Frozen Rogue.”

“What’s going on?”

“Someone is dead at the Talos Station and the finger is being pointed at Frozen, has he checked in at all?”

“Negative.”

“Cryo here Gen, can you do a satellite sweep for him? Pick up his locator?”

“I should be able to, I’m running a sweep for Doulos right now over Crey’s the satellites have gone crazy today and the access times are horrendous, as soon as I can get on, or open another server I’ll get back to you.”

Terra Byte broke into the conversation. “Genergy, is there any mention of how long the satellite traffic has been bad?”

“The guy at the satellite station said it’s been crazy for about four hours, but yesterday was quiet. Why do you ask?”

“No reason, the police scanners quiet?” Continued Terra.

“On a global level yes, some local traffic, checking the log it seems to have gone up since whatever happened, happened at Talos, but its still pretty normal. I think I see what your getting at…” Genergy didn’t finish the line leaving it as an open question for Terra to finish.

“Why are the Satellites so busy if there is little police traffic, who’s demanding stuff? The SGs wouldn’t be going nuts over nothing.”

“You may be onto something Terra,” said Genergy thoughtfully, “I’ll send a couple of Rangers over to see what’s going on, as its software if I go it would make sense, I’ll get some one to relieve me here, then I’ll head over with a couple of others. I’ll get back to you, I’m finally getting that download from over Crey’s.”

------------------------------------------------------------

In the lights of the Precision Rangers HQ Genergy examined the satellite stills coming through to his monitor. “Doulos, this is Genergy, we really need to talk, something serious went down in Crey’s and something serious is going on with Frozen…”

Genergy went on to explain what he was seeing.

“Open up the coalition channel Gen, this is something big, then get yourself over to the satellite station with Lead Hose, get Columbo to man the desk, his experience might help today.”

“The Channel is open D.”

“All Coalition Groups, this is Doulos of the Precision Rangers, who do we have on comm..”

“Inspector Frost of the Overlords.”

“Chives here, Scrappocalypse”

“Tufty, SNHS”

“Rock Eagle, Armoured Core.”

“Any other groups available?” Doulos continued, pausing for any responses. “It appears that we have a situation, one of our members has apparently murdered a civilian, I use the word apparently in the loosest sense possible, I am sure you are all aware of the traffic flowing across satellite, that we can’t get access, I’ve sent a couple of Rangers to check it out. More worrying currently is the situation we have in Crey’s, from the evidence it appears that the pool of Rikti that we encountered earlier were a diversion of some kind, one man appears to have orchestrated this attack, but we have no fix on where he went, he became completely invisible to all light, even infra red couldn’t locate him once he cloaked, but he left over thirty dead on a roof top, both Rikti and human, we need to find him. I ask your help in doing so. All information will be spread across the coalition channels as we have it. Something large seems to be about to happen, we need to know what.”

------------------------------------------------------------

Genergy and Lead Hose walked towards the Satellite relay building, the building was huge, when they were within a hundred meters of it Genergy froze. “There’s something very wrong.”

“What do you mean Gen?”

“The computers inside are… I’ve never heard this from a computer, but it sounds like they are in pain.”

“How is that possible?”

“I don’t know, but whatever’s going on we need to get in their fast, I’ve never heard of a computer in pain, but to me these feel on the brink of panic.”

-----------------------------------------------------------

Frozen Rogue held his breath, he’d never been here before, but he was pretty sure that no one would look for him here. When he’d boarded the helicopter at Kings Row no one had looked at him twice and he had been relieved, here he was terrified that anyone would at him twice. He’d heard of Arachnos, everyone had, but he’d never seen them before and today he didn’t think was a good day for it. He’d pushed deep into enemy territory, hopefully here he could figure out what to do and no one would be looking for him.

------------------------------------------------------------

The man was in Talos, no one could see him, no one would ever know he was there, he’d seen the Precision Rangers go into the station, he’d seen them come out of it. He’d expected that, what he hadn’t expected to see was Terra, what was she doing with the Rangers? One of his brothers would have killed her there and then, but he wasn’t stupid enough to blow his cover this deep into hero territory, so instead he followed. It would seem that an unexpected bonus might be on the cards here, after all daddy’s little girl was worth more than the fat fool could possible pay him…

------------------------------------------------------------

“Doulos, this is Columbo.” It was over the private channel. Doulos stepped away from the other Rangers.

“What is it Col?”

“Well you know things were looking bad?”

“What do you mean were?”

“We’ll they just got a whole lot worse.”

“Col, stop beating around the bush, what’s happening?”

“There’s been an arrest on sight issue ordered for all male Precision Rangers, we have the choice, either we can return to base where we will be monitored or we will be put in the cells and questioned there.”

“The hell we are, they can’t do that.”

“They can, I’ve got them looking over my shoulder right now. We all need to get back here, and they are removing our comm. capacity from the base, field comm. only.”

“What are they trying to do?”

“I don’t know D, but get back here soon, or there’s an open warrant on you and every other male ranger out there.”

Cursing loudly Doulos returned to the Rangers he was with. “Listen up people, all male Rangers are to return to base now, I’ll explain it to you when we get there. Female Rangers, Scapegoat is now in charge until further notice, most of our comms. will be down. Good luck to you all ladies, find Frozen and bring him home safe.”

------------------------------------------------------------

The phone rung, the figure picked it up in his darkened room. “I think you might find this interesting…”

“Who are you I know your voice?”

“No one of consequence, but I thought I should tell you that your brother is now in reach.”

“What do you know of my brother?”

“I know he’s in the Warburg, and I know he is alone.” The caller hung up.

The room remained dark for a while, no sound, no movement, then a light flickered in the darkness, and a cigarettes warm glow caused a fuzzy bubble of light to appear, illuminating the features of the man who smoked it. Any Ranger there would have sworn they knew him, any Ranger there would have sworn they were looking at Frozen Rogue.

------------------------------------------------------------

Burrel opened another packet of cigarettes. It would seem that everything was going to plan today. He looked at Daphne lying on the bed, she was dead, it seemed her blood hadn’t clotted properly or something, probably too many drugs, and she had died from blood loss via here mouth, shame really, she’d been amusing. One of the best screams he’d heard in weeks. The sheets were ruined of course, nothing could get rid of that much blood.

Lost in thought he fiddled with the first thing his hand touched on the table, it took him a moment to realise it was her tongue, unperturbed he picked it up and walked around the room playing with it. Looking at his watch he smiled, it was time for a snack, “Of all the sins I have yet to indulge myself in,” he said out loud to himself, “I have never yet been a cannibal.” He paused and smiled a broad grin that pushed his bloated features hideously out of shape, “Now, where did I leave that frying pan.”

Laughing out loud Burrel walked towards the kitchen, it would seem that his surge of chaos was just beginning, and he would enjoy the ride until the end. He paused by the door and looked at the body on the bed, time for another order… all this excitement had left him feeling a little…frisky.

Well, I best get creating then...

Awesome dude! Really can't wait for the rest of this!

Wicked! Though even as a non-entity in the story I'm a bit perturbed by the thought of being detained for being male! I'm a Police Officer myself after all!

Strengthens, I think, my petition for the post of official Precision Rangers Police Liaison...

Just wait until you get put in a cloning cell that constantly takes samples from your body so they can make clones of you for the Rikit. You'll love it then
