[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Sep-06-00 AT 01:03PM (GMT)[p]*Jim Bob looks quizzically at Reptile for a moment*

Jim Bob: (To Smaug) Ya know this guy? *Points at Reptile*

Jim Bob: (To Reptile) Do you live here? Sorry for askin', but you don't look like the average New Houstoner to me. The guard just told us that travelers weren't allowed in here, so... are you on some special mission? Just bein' curious. Y'know, i'm from Arkansas and all... *smiles*
 
Smaug: Hey, Reptile! Hows it ging?
This is Jim Bob. Jim Bob, this is Reptile.
We have an important message for the NTA.
You're welcome to join us if you want, but there's some pretty heavy shit going down so be warned. By the way we really need to find Greven.

Smaug: (to Jim Bob) We better go and see the commander of this HQ.
 
Yes some action! u can try to find Greven i'll go and pack some stuff and make myself ready...
 
[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Sep-07-00 AT 10:29PM (GMT)[p]*Reptile heads off towards the hotel he was staying on*

Jim Bob: *catches a passing guard* Sorry, can you tell us where the NTA building is? And why is the city closed anyway?

Guard: Why, the NTA has its HQ just around that corner. *points down the road* You can't miss it. I don't really know why the city is closed, they never tell us anything do they. I do know that the gates have been closed only once before, and that was sixty years ago, when the raider war was at its peak. So it's gotta be something really serious. Oh, i gotta go now. Bye. *continues down the street*

Jim Bob: The guards are really nice here, i wonder if that counts for the citizens too...

Smaug: Let's go. *they head towards the NTA HQ*

*The NTA building looks like it used to be a skyscraper, but only the first two floors are remaining. There is a long copper plate with the words NEW TEXAS MILITARY engraved in it above the metal doors. Two guards with combat armor and combat shotguns guard the entrance. Jim Bob walks up to one of them*

Guard: Just keep your weapons holstered and you can walk right in. We're really only here for decoration.

Smaug: What a great city!

*the guard chuckles* I won't open the door for you, if that's what ya think.

*Jim Bob grins and opens the door. They walk in*

*They enter into what seems to be a lobby. As Jim Bob looks around it strikes him how well furnished the place is. Rows of chairs line the walls, which are full of pre-war paintings in remarkably good condition. A large woven rug covers the floor and an electric fan hums constantly in the roof.*

*Jim Bob and Smaug walk through the room towards a desk with a receptionist.*

Woman: May I help you?

Jim Bob: Yeah, uh... who should we see if we need sum' help from the military?

Woman: May you specify "help"?

Jim Bob: Uh...

Smaug: *shoots in* A malevolent power called the "ATM" is threatening to invade Jim Bob here's homeland, New Arkansas. It's up far north. They possess great military power and will most probably continue conquering land throughout the US. At the point which they reach New Texas they may have grown too powerful to stop at all. We need to speak to someone about assistance from the NTA in defeating the ATM. It's very urgent.

Woman: Oh! Then you need to see either Col. Barker or General Pegaton. Let me see... *looks up in a dusty catalog* oh, i'm sorry, none of them seem to be in at the moment. Col. Barker won't be in until 2000 hours, and the General has taken a vacation and will be gone for a few days.

Jim Bob: WHAT? *looks up at the clock on the wall* But 8 o'clock, that's nine hours to go! Every friggin' hour counts here woman! Don't you see that? God dammit! *leans over the desk and yells* I haven't come this far jus' to be stopped by some damn blasted bureaucrats! DO YOU REALIZE THAT?

Smaug: Calm down! There's nothing to do about it, i know this kind of thing. You'll just have to wait and that's it.

Jim Bob: But the ATM... New Arkansas... i don't know how much time we have left! Maybe they've already marched in!

Smaug: Hey, get a hold of yourself! You'll just have to take that chance. There's nothing we can do.

Jim Bob: *straightens himself up* OK. I'll take it like a man. Let's find something to do in the meantime.
 
Reptile: hey Jim Bob
(Reptile catches up with Smaug and Jim Bob as they slowly walk out of the Building)
i'v got some BAAAAD news a few Texas solidiers have raborted that there might be a spy in here
they did find this on your car Smaug(shows up a pack of plastic Explosives it was set to go of when u should have used the brakes and i dont thin its Ur own invention........
So what do u say how would a Spy hunt be? (reptile picks upp 2 14mm Pistols reloads them and holsters them)
 
Jim Bob: *takes the pack of explosives, examines it closely* What the hell! Looks like someone wants us dead, guys! The explosive is standard RDX, but this primer... looks pretty professional to me. The guy who made this one must have a lot of expertise under his coat.

*A NH guard walks up to them*

Guard: Was it your car this bomb was mounted under?

Smaug: That's right. Do you have any idea who might have placed it there?

Guard: Nope, sorry. It was just pure luck that one of our patrols noticed it sticking out under your vehicle. You don't really think it could have been just some kids, do you?

Jim Bob: I do have a pretty heavy suspicion on my mind...

Guard: Sorry 'bout this occurence, misters. We can offer you some protection, if you think someone's after you.

Jim Bob: Wow! This city really's got the damn greatest guards i've ever encountered in the wastes! Thanks fer the offer, but i think we can handle them ourselves. Eh, guys?
 
Smaug: A spy? This just keeps getting better and better.
*Draws one of his two .223 pistols*

(to himself) If I was a spy, where would I go?

*Snaps his fingers*

The NTA HQ!!

Ok, here's what we'll do.
Me and Jim Bob will check out the HQ.
Reptile, I need you to go back to my car and make sure no one is hanging around near it. Then come and meet us here.

Jim Bob: That spy's as good as found. Let's go.

Reptile: Right.
 
OOC: Heh, posted at exact the same time. It fit in (almost) seamlessly though. Telepathic powers? Well, on with the IC:

Jim Bob: *Draws his flame-bullet .44 Magnum*
Oh yeah! Nobody tries to blow up me and doesn't get blown up himself!

*They walk back into the HQ while Reptile heads for the car. Once in, Jim Bob thinks abit and lowers his gun*

Jim Bob: But, how will we find the spy? He's prolly got some cover... and why would he come in here anyway? He can be anywhere in, and he's probably left town long ago. Why the hell would he go in here anyway?

Smaug: Wait, see that guy over there? *points to a man in one of the chairs* Ten bucks he's the spy...

Jim Bob: And why the hell do you think that?

Smaug: You'll see...
 
Reptile: Screams loudly BURNING HELL THIS IS NOT ANY FUN ANYMORE
a Guard: what was it
Reptile: u see idid take a closer lock on the explosives IT STANDS ENCLAVE ON THEM fuck it looks like NTA is supported by some rests of the Enclave or then they have gotten their hand son some enclave technology and i dont know whats worser.
the guard: what shall we do
Reptile Get someone to fuel this car and some one to Guard it And call out for higher emergency in the whole town...
Reptile: Grabbs his 14mm:rs and starts running to the HQ

Don't you mean ATM? Yeah, i know, the world is messed up with abbreviations isn't it? Just wanna clear it out
 
OOC- Man, what are the odds on that?!
By the way, if you have any big plans on how I know who the spy is, please disregard this post.

IC-
Smaug: Watch this.

*Smaug casually walks over and stands beside the man in the chair (who is dressed in a leather jacket with one arm cut off it). The man looks up at him*

Smaug: *Nods and smiles*

Man: *Nods back and smiles weakly, then looks away*

*Smaug looks around smiling for a moment, then quickly grabs the man in a headlock*

Jim Bob: What are you doing?

Smaug: Besides how nervous he looked, I noticed this tattoo on the ATM guy we killed.

*Smaug rips the shortened arm off the leather jacket, revealing a tattoo of a spider on his upper right bicep with the words ATM under it*

Jim Bob: Hey, yeah I saw that too!

Smaug: I think we got our spy...
 
[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Sep-09-00 AT 10:09AM (GMT)[p]Jim Bob: Well, well, well. What have we here. If it isn't the person who just tried to blow us into the great blue skies. This is a great opportunity to get some inside information on our enemy, no? *Moves his face closer to the spy*

Spy: (nervously) I'm not (gulp) telling you anything!

*Smaug tightens his grip around the mans neck*

*the spy laughs a nervous, choked laughter*
Spy: You... you think that'll make me talk? I'll rather die than...

Jim Bob: No. But I think we have something in our car that will. Eh, Smaug? Like... a blowtorch?

Smaug: Sure. And...

Jim Bob: ...This guy needs some tan on his feet anyway. *chuckles wickedly*

*The spy sweats uncontrollably as Smaug drags him by the head out of the building and up the road towards the city gates.*

*A NH guard jogs up to them*

Guard: Is this the man that mounted the bomb under your vehicle? Have you gotten a confession from him?

Smaug: Sure. Right, mister? *looks viciously down at the spy*

*the spy gulps several times and nods slowly and feverishly*

Jim Bob: (to the guard) I think that's about the best confession you'll get from this wimp. We need some info from him, so we'll just take him to "interrogation", if you guards don't mind.

Guard: No way. Make'im pay! We don't take kindly to that kind of behavior anyway. Well, looks like we're finished here, misters. My duty is over, too. Good day to you!

*the guard leaves for the cantina. Jim Bob and Smaug drag the petrified spy towards their car*

Jim Bob: We'd better drive a few miles away, so his screams won't alarm the whole town.
*does a malicious grin at the spy, who is at the point of nervous breakdown*
 
Smaug: Good idea. *Grins*

*Smaug drags the spy into the car*

Smaug: You better drive, Jim Bob, I need to keep our friend here under control.

Jim Bob: Sure thing.

*Jim Bob jumps into the drivers seat, and Smaug hops in the back seat with the spy still in a headlock*

*They drive out a few miles and stop the car*

Smaug: (to the spy) So, are we going to do this the easy way? Or the hard way?

Spy: Y-You're still not... getting anything out of me...

Smaug: Jim Bob. Get my blowtorch.

Spy: (Gulp)

Jim Bob: hahahahaha....
 
Reptile doesnt find Smaug&co in the HQ and asks someone Were they did go the Guard tells what he have heard
Reptile Thinks i better go and tell them right off
Runs fast as hell to the garage grabbs the first car a old and rusty Jeep he speaks to the guard inside. And gets off fast as hell towards the direction that Jim Bob did take......
a while later when he drives upp on a small hill he sees Smaugs Car and a bit from there, there is some other Ppl..
shit i'll beter go down there now......

By the way in the car there is a Fn Fal and a few grenades and some supplies and of course the "Enclave bomb"....
 
[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Sep-09-00 AT 12:44PM (GMT)[p]*Jim Bob opens the glove box, fumbles around a bit while he whistles a tune*

Jim Bob: Now where can it be? Hmmmmmmmm... *turns slowly to the spy, smiling* I found it!

Smaug: Don't get TOO rough with him. We wouldn't want him to faint, would we?

Jim Bob: No, only as close as possible.
*pulls out a rather mean looking blowtorch with flames painted on the sides, and starts untying the spy's shoes*

Spy: *wriggling about wildly but being kept firmly by Smaug* GAH! STOP! NO! I... I WON'T TELL... AAH!

*Jim Bob takes off one shoe and looks around, like he's searching for something*
Jim Bob: (to the spy) You don't have a match, do you?

*Smaug laughs heartily, the spy's face gets a very pale tint of red*

*Jim Bob sticks his hand down the pocket of the spy and pulls out a black zippo lighter*

Jim Bob: Aha! Fine workmanship. Now let's jus' get it running... *flicks the top open and lights the flame, the spy looks like he's about to pee his pants any moment now*

*Jim Bob holds the lighter up in front of the blowtorch and turns the knob. A blue flame shoots out from the nozzle. Jim Bob hovers it back and forth, closer and closer to the spy's bare foot*

Spy: (screaming at the top of his lungs) STOP!!! I'LL TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT! JUST STOP IT!!! AAAAAH!!! STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT GODDAMMIT!!!

*Jim Bob takes away the blowtorch, but doesn't put it out*

Jim Bob: Fine. I'd like to know how you got all the way down here, why you wanted to kill us and how the ATM knew I was sent down here.

Spy: I... I came here by car. I left it around a mile east from the town and made my way in on foot. I arrived in Houston just a few hours before you. I didn't expect you to have a companion with you, and I didn't expect you to come in with a car like this, but a pickup. It was much harder to mount the bomb under this car than it would have been on a pickup. That's why the guards noticed the bomb. I wanted to kill you because you were going to warn the NTA, and that would have been catastrophic. And..

*the spy lights up with a faint hope*
They will send squads to kill you when they realize i failed, so you have no chance! Just release me now and maybe they won't send soldiers.

Jim Bob: Heh, thanks for telling us that. We'll be on guard.

*the spy's triumphant smile turns into an open-mouthed frown*

Jim Bob: Continue.

Spy: But... but... I've told you all I know!

Jim Bob: You let out one question. How they know I was sent down here.

*The spy shuts his mouth*

Jim Bob: Awww, come on. You know you're gonna tell us eventually anyway. *lifts up the blowtorch*

Spy: Okay, okay! We knew you were here because we've already entered Arkansas. We've taken most of the land by the Mississippi and we're currently advancing. We tortured a few leaders and found out that you were sent here, so they sent me-

Jim Bob: YOU BASTARDS! *suddenly throws a punch straight to the spy's jaw, sending his head backwards, bleeding* YOU MOTHERFUCKING PIECEASHITS! YOU-

Smaug: Calm down, he won't tell us anymore if you kill him!

Jim Bob: FUCK! They've already invaded! SHIT! We can't stand to waste more time and THE NTA WON'T BE AVAILABLE TILL THE EVENING! GOD DAMN IT! *shakes his head in despair*

Smaug: Think rational! It's bad, but make the best out of it!

*there are a few seconds of silence as Jim Bob tries to calm down*

Jim Bob: You're right. But it's impossible! In eight hours my whole country may be taken! What the hell should we do?

*suddenly, Jim Bob notices a group of people approaching them. They don't look like they are on a courtesy call.*
 
OOC

I say the next poster makes a new topic. This is getting pretty steep.
