With Intern Jeff abducted and tied up, the Rebel Forces expected the HSMT to give in to their demands. w00t Parker entered enemy territory to retrieve a flash drive from a neighboring 'Switzerland-like' team. It was going to take about 5 minutes for the flash drive to finish transferring some files, so w00t Parker headed back to the Base I.T. (BIT). On the way out, he stopped to briefly speak to Katie Shannon (the trigger happy receptionist of the HSMT). The conversation below is not exactly what was said, but it is very close.
Parker: "Oh, hello Katie. I hope you're day is going very well."
Katie: "Bah! (random grunting and snarling) What do you want?"
Parker: "I was just inquiring as to whether or not your leader had received our ransom note."
Katie: "Yeah, we got it (more snarls)"
Parker: "And are you prepared to admit that you're all n00bs?"
Katie: "No, we're not."
Parker: "Very well. We thought you'd say that."
Parker reached in his pocket, pulled out a CD and handed it to Kaite.
Katie: "TEAM MEETING!"
The HSMT gathered in Zack Barker's office as Parker backed out and met up with his team at BIT. Here's what was on the CD:
Parker returned to retrieve his flash drive with General Finn and Major Wessberg as backup. It was tense. With their guns drawn, ready to fire, the Rebels crossed the enemy territory to arrive at the neutral team's zone. The HSMT had the Rebels in their crosshairs as they slowly moved in. The Rebels were supposed to enter, get the flash drive, and get out, but that's not how it happened.
As the flash drive was finishing its transfer, a glow in the dark nerf dart whizzed across the room and struck Parker in the chest. Katie Shannon, the trigger happy receptionist, had struck again. General Finn squeezed the trigger of his N-Strike Maverick and fired three well placed darts into Katie's side. Everybody jumped behind cubicles and the battle was on.
Major Wessberg took out Josh Pease with a clean head shot and wounded Ryanne Witt with a direct shot to the arm. As darts flew, General Finn fearlessly did a back flip over two cubicles while simultaneously unloading his Maverick into Zack Barker's back. Parker was in an intense firefight with Shannon and Pease. Every time he poked his head out from behind a cubicle, a stream of darts would fly inches away from his face. He put a fresh clip into his Recon CS-6, took a deep breath and charged out striking down both Shannon and Pease.
That's when tragedy struck. As Pease fell to the ground, he took one last shot at his better looking nemesis. With the force of Nerf regulated air pressure behind it, the glow in the dark dart pierced Parker in the neck, sending him straight to the floor. Time was slow. The sound of war was muffled. Parker could feel his heart beat slow down and get louder. Nerf darts quietly screamed overhead as Parker's eyes slowly scanned the battlefield. General Finn and Major Wessberg we being charged by the HSMT.
With all the strength he could muster, Parker took hold of his Recon CS-6 and pushed himself up. He cocked the gun back, loading a fresh dart in the chamber. He put Ryanne Witt in his sights and squeezed the trigger. *Click* Nothing. The gun had jammed!
Just then, Parker felt the barrel of a N-Strike Firefly pressed up against his back. Pease stood behind Parker, ready to fire and Barker slowly moved in. "Don't move" they demanded. Parker dropped his gun to his side, knowing full well his team would figure a way out of this.
Just when the HSMT thought they had won, Major Wessberg grabbed Katie Shannon and held his Recon CS-6 to her head. "We trade" he called to Pease and Barker. They looked at each other and reluctantly made the switch. With the team back together, General Finn made the call and the Rebels fell back to BIT.
At 1634 hours, Josh Pease entered BIT with weapon in hand. General Finn and w00t Parker pulled out their sidearms and kept him in their sights as he dropped off an envelope on Major Wessberg's desk. Here is a picture of the contents:
