Velo and Friends-Velo 1: Vacation Assignment
All of the stories that are first for each of the characters are just introductions so there will be intermisions to describe the character or some of the character's suroundings. As I've said before I like chatting to people so look for me on Yiffchat of IM me AIM: VeloTheKat MSN: [email protected] YIM: Velo_Phantasy
I lay there in bed staring off into nothingness. It's about 10:30 in the afternoon and I'm trying to get some sleep when I realise the light on my laptop is flashing. I sigh to myself as this means I have an urgent message. I lay there for awhile before I reach up and open my laptop on the night stand. Pressing the button to wake it up from sleep mode it prompts me for my password. Still half asleep I punch in my password letter by letter using my index and my pinky to push the Shift button. The speakers greet me "Welcome back Velo." After that the screen goes black and prompts me that I need three screens to view the message. It's not very often that I get a message like that so I sit up and place my hands on either side of the screen and place my thumbs on the screen. Allowing a couple seconds for the touch screen to scan my thumbs I yawn and hear the screen click. I reach round the sides; pull a screen out the right side and another screen out the left side. When they lock into place all three screens turn on and I see my commander in the center screen and two unknown members on the other screens.
"Welcome Velo. What took you?" Captain Cree said as I reached into a drawer of the night stand, pulled out a head phone microphone set and plugged it in. Mounting the headset on my head positioning the microphone in front of my mouth I replied.
"You know you should call my cell phone if you want me. I was just about to go to bed."
"Why don't you have the urgent audio on?" captian Cree asked.
Countering his question I asked, "If this is so urgent then why aren't we discussing the issue at hand?"
Captain Cree nodded as he joined his paws together and placed his fingers to his chin. "Hmmm... Straight to the point as usual I see... very well. We have another mission for you."
Closing my eyes with a half smirk on my face I replied, "Sorry I don't accept. I'm on vacation."
"Sorry Velo but you don't have a choice this time. We have a pickup ship on its way and we're going to be transporting you to the planet Earth. Your drop point is on a deserted island. There will be a boat waiting for you and it'll automatically take you to your destination."
"What the hell! You're taking me to Earth? There's not even a port to that solar system. It'll take at least five hours to get there!"
"Yes I realize that. Let me introduce you to your new partners. On your left screen is your ride there, and on the right is your ride back. Their names are classified. You will call them driver one and driver two"
"Damn you Cree. You're fucking putting me on a mission during my vacation and you're dumping me into the middle of no where on a small planet called Earth. What the fuck am I doing there?"
"You have to infiltrate a reconnaissance facility near your destination and copy their entire networking system onto a data disk. You will then report all the information to me when you return home."
"Fuck. I can't even enjoy a vacation any more. Alright what kind of security do they have? What kind of system do they have? and what supplies do I have?"
"Security is minimal. Security cameras, field troops no weapons, they have no record of creatures off of their planet, and you have a fire wire data disk."
"So you're saying that they can get my picture, they can't harm me, and they can't track me. That seems a bit stupid."
"If you're spotted before you can get the data they will crash their network and we won't be able to get the data we need. Why exactly do you need this data?"
"Classified"
"What kind of system do they have?"
"Their best is an out dated Pentium 4.6 processor, IDE, UBS, and Fire Wire hook ups, IDE drives, and 8 wire network cables."
"What!? That's going to take forever to transfer. How much time do I have?"
"Two weeks. If you're spotted they will crash their network for a week or until you're caught and they have secured the area. If you're spotted they may also call in armed authorities."
In case you haven't noticed, I'm an agent. I work for an agency that is so small 25 well positioned bullets could take us all out, but we're the best of the best and no one really knows about us so there's not really any reason for us to be under attack. My friends think I work at a coffee shop, and the government thinks I'm dead. I'm an anthro cat that can morph into an ordinary house cat. My fur is snow white with blue spots. I have a blue spot on my head that covers half my head, my left eye, half my nose, then continues around my neck back to the back of my head. The end half of my tail is blue and I have other spots ranging from a medium size to small scattered all through out my body. I am the agent's thief. I steal anything from top secret government weapons to lollipops from little children. I go where ever I need to accomplish my job, and at times I use my manipulating looks to seduce people. I love alcohol, music, coloured lights, and parties. That's why I was chosen since I merge well into that particular circuit
I placed my thumbs on the screen, felt for the click, slid the side screens back in, and closed my laptop to put it to sleep. After cracking my neck I looked around and layed down to go to sleep myself.
Two hours later I was awaken by the sound of my ride's horn at my door. I got up cracking my knuckles and stretched. I quickly grabbed my laptop and headed out the door. The back passenger door was already open and waiting for me. I sat down and opened my laptop and began browsing the internet. There was a thick piece of dark glass that separated me from the driver and all the windows were tinted almost completely black.
First thing I did was check my mail box. There were several notices from my Website so I know the activity level is rising and there were a couple from a forum that I'm active in notifying me that someone had replied to my posts. I selected all of the notices and deleted them once I was done. I glanced through what was left and left them there to check later.
I then searched the layout of my website to see what the people were doing there and make sure everyone was inline. I made a couple posts of my own, checked, approved, and posted a character profile for a new member then continued to the forums. There wasn't much there that I was interested in except a story that the members were making one sentence at a time. The story got of to a semi-slow start, but by this time had really gotten going.
"We're about to enter the port warp. You might want to turn off all electronic devices." Came the driver's voice through a telecom. I quickly turned off my laptop and reached into my pocked and took out my cell phone. It was still receiving a full communication signal and a full power signal. For some reason I had two messages in my voice box. I quickly turned it off to go through the warp. I could see the warp's energy coming towards the vehicle even through the dark tinted windows. When it made contact with the window I could clearly see the ripples of energy rubbing the surface of the pod. After a slight bump we had arrived at the end of the warp. I pushed the power button on my cell phone to check my messages. The cell phone turned on just long enough to display a message, "Sorry out of power frequency."
Throughout all the charted galaxies there's power orbs that constantly send out a power frequency. Those orbs power all the people's accessories, vehicles, homes and pretty much everything that requires electricity to work. Everything now days has its own auxiliary power cell, but unfortunately communication devices don't usually have a very big power cell. The power cells are just like miniature power orbs. If you get enough of them together they will power each other and keep each other at a full charge. Unfortunately I only have my laptop cell and the phone cell which these cells are kept in containment to prevent them wasting power on anything but what they're hooked up to. I decided to leave my laptop off so I could use it if I ever needed to do some hacking or something. The laptop cell will last anywhere from 12-24 hours while powering the laptop depending on what I'm doing on the laptop.
I slipped my cell phone back into my pocket and layed down in the seat to catch some sleep so I wouldn't be bored out of my mind during the five hour trip.
