Drake walked alongside Calvin. "Alright man, lemme see how good you are at mimicking shadow possession. Possess me. We'll use it to our advantage to cover each other..." he stated stopping and standing unmoved in front of Calvin. "Make me move..."

"No time, we gotta find them!" Calvin said, unwittingly sending his shadow into Drake. As he began to walk, his shadow made Drake walk with him. He finally realized what he was doing after a couple of steps. "Oh, convenient." He said as they reached the end of the gym, slowly opening the door and looking both ways, taking in the fresh air. It smelled nice even in the CATT.
"This will be easy. If we can just find Angie, we got this in the bag." He told Drake, grinning almost evilly. He felt a bit bad about taking advantage of his friendship with Angie, but hey, a win was a win. Besides, she was probably finding someway to end this as quickly as possible anyway.

"What do you have planned for Angie?" Drake asked laughing a little at Calvin's grin. This was a pretty cool idea for a team activity. Using the CATT and everything to simulate the school environment. It seemed amazingly real too. Every detail of it fascinated Drake. Pretty soon he found himself losing focus of the mission and thinking on how cool the CATT was.

Oto looked back at Angie, who was still staying put, not caring.
He sighed. "Guess we're one member short."
Oto then turned back around and followed Theo.
"So, where should we start first?"

"Theo's right, the teacher's probably put us at opposite ends. They want to test us right? So they'd allow use mutliple routes which means that if it's across campus we have more options." Robbie said, he had never even thought of the gym (as he had never been) until Theo said something. Maybe he was some kind of super genius...
Robbie looked at Angelique and frowned. Moving up to Theo he tip toed to whisper in his ear, "Can you take Angelique's match up, your power is wide spread and the strongest out of everybody's so you should be able to handle it."
Turning back to the group he gave his final orders, "Head to the gym, keep spread out but always stay in contact with one another. Boxers dismissed."

"I'll promise to do something for her if she gets the flag for us. Take her shopping, see a play or something." Calvin responded, he knew Angie all to well at this point, she'd eat it up. "But first, we've got to find someone..... Lets see, I would assume they're going to be on the opposite side of campus. The Lounge maybe? The Lounge is huge though, it'll take forever to find them if they are there, damnit."
"Alright, first things first though, lets move. No point in broadcasting where the flag is by standing in front of where it is." Calvin then broke out into a run, hoping to maybe catch members of the other team coming out of their hiding place.

Nadya slipped on her white gloves as she walked over to Robbie; not wanting to rush off into battle to soon. She wouldn't admit it, but she felt kind of weird in the middle of a battlefield. It didn't feel like home; where people got slaughtered daily and you had to protect yourself or die a horrible death amongst the rats and the slime. It felt... valiant. Justice. Right. Under Robbie's flag, she could feel herself as a protector of all that was good in the world; but that was strange, wasn't it?
"What's g-going to happen now, Robbie?" She asked, her voice kind of shakey.

"It'll be okay, Angelique has us down one person but we're a good team so we'll be okay." Robbie said with a small smile. He really wanted to add a question mark to the end of that sentence. Angelique was really a part of the plan and an important one at that, he never thought she'd say no. Reaching out Robbie held Nadya's hand and shrunk down to his trademark G.I Joe size.
"You'll be okay Nadya, just stick with Theo, and remember to use your enviorment." He patted her thumb, an action that Comm had said to be an effective tool in calming nerves (although she probably was thinking of a pat to the shoulder). "Um, can you put me on the couch?"

Nadya smiled at Robbie's size, for some reason she always thought he was so cute when he was that short. Then again, so did everybody else. Placing him on the couch, she ran outside, waving goodbye to him.
"Okay, then, guys. Can you hear me?" Nadya said over the intercom each one of them had in their ears.
"I think we should all enter the gym on three of it's four different sides; I'll go in the main entrance, and then Oto can hop in from the east and Theo from the west. If we meet up at the center of each floor and use the different stairs to ascend, we should find them eventually." As they progressed toward the gym, the words of tactics flew off Nadya's tongue like common sense. She didn't really realize it, but it was a decent plan.

"So, uh....." Oto said over the team intercom, trying to avoid the spooky silence of walking down the empty halls,
"If we run into the other team, are we supposed to like, I dunno, use actual force or something?"

"The Boxers shouldn't be the type of team that goes out of their way to play rough (if that's okay with you all...), just try to... incapacitate them." Robbie said, jumping up and down on the couch, the movement seemed to help him think.

"Oh, cool," Oto said, sighing with relief. He didn't think he was ready to play rough just yet. Didn't mean he shouldn't protect himself, though.
"I'm reaching the gym soon enough, Nadya, Theo, where you guys at?" he asked between whistles, trying to calm his nerves.

"I'm at the front door." She said, just as she entered the gymnasium. The gym was a big building; but the front door lead to a single hallway which went straight for the length of a basketball field before it turned toward both of the staircases. Besides the staircases, their was one elevator right at the divergence; she figured, she'd take the elevator and the guys would take either staircases, since, from the basketball courts, the staircases could be used rather easily.
"We'll meet in front of the elevator," she said, walking down the hallway.

Meanwhile, in the observatory room, Phil entered, bringing in a bottle of wine and some Hors d'œuvre.
"I hope you don't mind if I join you for a bit. I brought a bit of dinner for the show."

"Remember to take out the people assigned to you before going after anyone else even if something doesn't go according to plan. Don't enter the gym until everyone has checked in on their position." Robbie gave the Boxers one last set of orders, he hoped they'd do okay, and if not... Well he really hoped that nobody would make it over to the lounge. He looked over to Angelique who was just sitting down, her face no showing any concern.
"Do you hate us?" Robbie asked the girl with a frown (not that she could see it...)
"Ah, Proffessor Crenshaw, so nice of you to join us." Prof. Utkin said looking at his friend and the bottle of wine in his hand, "We where just in the middle of student observation. Care to join us?"

“It would seem our friends are certainly taking their time” Jin told Mark and Raines as he looked at his watch. “Not that I’m complaining much, but I was hoping this exercise would be over before lunch”. Jin knew his team had the advantage, but waiting for them to show up was getting beyond boring; sure he was able to sleep, but a bench was certainly no bed.

Calvin and Drake made it to the Student Lounge without any trouble. Cautiously entering the building, it felt almost eerie considering how quiet and empty it was. "Alright, guess we start here, and work our way up." Calvin told Drake, trying the first door to the left. Locked. He took a couple steps back and gave it a swift kick. And another. On the third wood could be heard splintering.
Finally, on the fifth kick, the door finally broke under pressure. Calvin was shocked when a bunch of brooms and mops came falling out at him. Attempting to catch as many as he could, a couple clattered to the ground as he futilely tried to shove them back into the closet. Apparently it was an unmarked janitor's closet.
"Uh.... Not here!" Calvin called, finally giving up on the brooms and mops and letting them all fall to the ground. "I'm actually surprised we didn't pass anyone on the way here... Go figure."

"Ah, Proffessor Crenshaw, so nice of you to join us." Prof. Utkin said looking at his friend and the bottle of wine in his hand, "We where just in the middle of student observation. Care to join us?" Putting the platter on a nearby table, he poured the wine into three glasses. Offering two to Hyun-Lin and Utkin, he politely tells them... "Why, gladly. I've always respected your company. Oh and it's technically Dr. Crenshaw." |

"My mistake..." Utkin said only half sorry more looking foward to the glass in front of him, he was born in Russia after all and Americans never truely understood what good a nice drink once and a while was.
"So what do you think of the teams Doctor." Utkin asked as he took a sip.

Bringing out his persona PDA, he checked the note about the New Teams. Inspecting it, he noted...
"Well... Seeing as I'm not responsible for them... Still, in my experience, a balance of powers and functioning team morale is enough to usually prevail. Palmer seems to be the type who may end up well with a role like this. Peters seems to be somewhat... Plain, I suppose. Power absorption is a useful power, but as I've learned, the one with the strongest power does not mean the greatest leader."

"I'd have to question that, Mr. Palmer may have the better leading skills but planning an attack and following through with that plan while adapting to what's currently happening on the battlefield is very much so different skills. Calvin and his team are built on disruption, they will have the edge." Utkin said as he watched the scene down below, all the students where in place, it'd be up to them and their leaders now.

Thinking about his past, Phil nodded in agreement. Plans never do come out right. It has always been better to be prepared for the impossible than anything.
"My mistake. I should know of course that plans are never definite. Still, let's enjoy the show."

"Okay, I think maybe we should go in soon?" Oto asked, a nervous tone obviously audible in his voice.
"Every second you waste waiting to strike is another second they're striking. Get your head in the game, a scaredy cat!!" he whisper-shouted into the intercom, before realizing that the others probably heard.
"Uh, that was meant to be a thought, not a speech. Totally disregard that last part. Over." he said, embarrassed that his whole team knew he was scared as hell.

"Alright let's split up, you find Angie and I'll look for the flag." Drake said running in another direction than Calvin. He ran to where the gym was and stalked his way around the outside corners looking around for anyone. "Alright, I'm outside the gym and it seems clear, over." he said into the headset. "How's everyone else?"
