Neo_Kuja was sitting in the bar on Pittsburg, when the door was flung open and two shots were fired. Neo swung around to see a man, holding a Heckler and Koch sub-machine gun in his hands. “O oh, this is trouble” he thought, automatically hiding his Colt 45.
“Everybody sit still and nobody will get hurt, you…” the man pointed at the bartender “get the head of the BP’s on the line, I want to talk to him.” “You..” he pointed at a beautiful blonde girl at the back of the bar, “come here”
She walked toward him reluctantly, when she got there, he grabbed her by the hair, plucked out a knife and slit her throat. He pointed at the bartender with the knife “Tell Aod (head of the BP’s) what you just saw, and then you tell him that Tawakalna want him to immediately release pSYCHO and fly him here.”
“Don’t flush the toilet… don’t flush the toilet” Neo heard the guy next to him muttering and was astonished by the words, this guy clearly was not normal. On his other side, he recognized EB the only cyborg in the FS. A plan began forming in his mind.
“You want to be a hero?” Neo talked softly, he didn’t want to upset the terrorist.
EB glanced at the stranger and then replied equally soft “I might consider it, as long as my circuits don’t get fried.”
“Just play along OK I know what I’m doing” with that words Neo stoop up, glad that he was wearing a jacket hiding his trusted colt.
Tawakalna saw the man standing “Didn’t I tell you to sit still!?”
“Sir I’ve got a bit of a problem, this is my brother, he is a cyborg, he has to be plugged into his computer every four hours, otherwise his implants will go haywire,” Neo looked very upset by the idea that his “brother” might go crazy “Sir he needs to be plugged in within the next five minutes please may we go to our room.”
“No sit down and shut up, your brother can die for what I care.” Tawakalne waved his H&K around menacingly.
“Nice try, I could have told you that he will flush it down the toilet” Zlo was in a very bad mood, and this stranger’s attempt at heroism just made it worse
“Don’t mind him, in about 5 mins just start going crazy OK” Neo didn’t bother himself by listening the weird guy sitting next to him.
“Easy for you to say, my reputation will be shot and they will want to remove my implants” EB was not in the mood for this.
“If I were you I’d do it, otherwise you may just die” Neo said threateningly.
“You come here,” Neo pointed to the girl sitting next to Zlo, his expression menacing.
“Don’t you dare touch her you dirty piece of toilet paper” Zlo jumped up and stood in front of sw.
Tawakalna sung his H&K in Zlo’s direction and pulled the trigger, who was hit in the stomach.
“Now start doing it now!” Neo’s voice was urgent.
“Fried circuits … fired circuits … burning circuits …agony … I need my computer! Give me my computer my circuits are frying, firing, burning….the nanobots will attack my brain! Stop them! STOP THEM! They’re hacking my brain! HELP! HELP!” EB stumbled around screaming.
Tawakalna swung around toward EB who moved to his side, it was just what Neo needed, he fired two shots, one hitting Tawakalna in his hand holding the H&K the other hitting him in the shoulder. He ran to where Tawakalna lay and grabbed the H&K and the bloodied knife “Game over tonto”

“I am at the scene where a hostage situation took place this morning, on person was killed and another was wounded. I am now speaking to Neo_Kuja, the guy who saved the day.
“Neo, how does it feel to be a hero?”
“I just did what anybody would have done, besides if it wasn’t for EB, Tawakalna would still be alive and on the run with his buddy pSYCO.”
“Thank you for your comment Neo. I am Gowerspaul reporting live for FSN (Forum Systems News)
The image ion the televiewter change to that of jagged, anchorman and owner of FSN
Thank you Gowerspaul. That is all for this evening, next up is W-bot with the weather. This is FSN bringing you all that is hot and happening.

TET switched off the televiewter, his eyes sparkling “RILMS I think we have a jailbreak to organize, don’t you?”
“Yes guy like that will be worth a lot to us, I think we should break his friend out as well, the more people we have, the better. And that cyborg, he gave me an excellent idea.” Arania was also in a happy mood, he just had an idea that gave him immense pleasure.
*********
Bargib, Kimk and sw also watched the news.
“This is not good,” Bagib is worried, “We can be sure that TET also saw this, I think we should let Aod know to post extra sentries at the prison where Tawakalna is kept.
Its just sad that Zlo had to get shot, sw did you visit him yet?
“No, the guy is a creep, I’m not going anywhere near him. sw looked appalled by the thought of going to the hospital.
He did save your life, he is not as mean as he pretends to be sw, I think he actually likes you.” Bargib sounded stern, he could not understand what it was that made sw dislike zlo so much. “anyway kimk you say you have an idea on how to find infiltrators in OffTopic if there are any”
“Yes Bargib,” kimk looked serious, “Actually sw shouldn’t hear this, so I think we should put her on the next shuttle to the hospital”
“No! I am not going you can forget it, I don’t want to see that man not now, not ever!” Bargib and kimk was shocked at the tone of sw’s voice, she was angry, no argument at that, but there was something else as well, they just did not know what.
“Fine you don’t have to go, but then I want you to go straight to bed, you had a shock today” Bargib sounded almost fatherly as he escorted sw to the door “goodnight we’ll talk to you in the morning ok”
“Ok lets hear that plan kimk” Bargib’s voice was all business again.
If you want breakfast in bed....sleep in the kitchen
