Welcome

There was a loud blast coming from the street. Thomas looked on as a cloud of smoke appeared behind the beast. "G-Gabbi?!" Thomas shouted. He couldn't see what had happened, and he was worried for the girls.

Thomas couldn't see much, but he heard the muffled cries of Gabbi in the distance. The monster roared loudly; that was the queue. Thomas shot the missile. By the time it reached the monster, the casing had corroded. Luckily, a few bits of shrapnel made it to the monster, with goo on them, followed by the main goo ball. The monster screamed as the acid began to rend the monster from the inside out. There was no hope for it now, for the monster's regenerative abilities were no match for the powerful acid within. The clump of flash crumbled into nothing as the acid started to corrode the ground beneath it, it was finished.

"Gabbi!" Thomas shouted towards the street. "Are you o.k?" Thomas stood there astonished, he didn't expect such a powerful blow to the beast. He put his finger to his earpiece and spoke. "The B.O.W. has been eradicated. I see the clean-up team, they're arriving now. Watch out for the black acid, its experimental and dangerous. Signal the rescue chopper and lets get the hell out of here."

Thomas looked around the park, after the attack it had seemed so serene. There was nothing but silence now, and Thomas was calming down. He motioned to the others as he stood by the statue, waiting for the chopper.

((OOC: Poor Thomas being yelled orders from Gabbi and Laila. LOL hahaha... BIC ))

Gabbi lifted her head as she heard the sound of Thomas' voice. "Yeah, we are fine," she said as she started toward what she could see of him through the smoke. She made sure not to get too close to what was left of the creature.

As she noticed the sound of a helicopter, Gabbi looked up to see it in the distance. A smile formed on her face slightly as she passed the creature. She glanced over her shoulder to make sure Laila was following. "Careful," she said as she pointed at the acids leaving the creature.

Making her way to Thomas and the others, Gabbi noticed as the helicopter was getting ready to land. She slowed her stride. "is everyone alright?" Gabbi asked as she waited for the helicopter to land.

Thomas looked as the copter as it began to touchdown nearby, then he looked at Gabbi; there was a hint of a smile on his face. "Whew." Thomas let out a sigh of relief. "I'm feeling pretty good but man am I tired." he said. He grabbed the bag, zipped it up, and threw it over his shoulder. Thomas straightened up as the strap tightened on his shoulder. "Let's hit the road" he said, stepping through the grass to the helicopter nearby. Then he threw the bag in and strapped himself into a seat. "Time to go."

Gabbi followed Thomas toward the helicopter. She took a deep breath. She hadn't done something like what had happened in the past few hours for years. She never thought she was going to need to do something like that again.

Holstering her gun, Gabbi felt someone touch her shoulder. She turned around to see Vennesa.

"Thanks again," Vennesa said as she handed Gabbi's gun back to her.

"No problem," Gabbi replied with a smile before holstering the gun. She turned around and entered the helicopter, moving as far over so everyone was able to get in. She looked up to see Thomas infront of her. She smiled at him before turning and looking at everyone.

Vennesa had followed Gabbi inside and sat across from her, beside Thomas. "No worries, I am alive, Thomas," Vennesa said some what sarcastic. "But I will say I am going to need replacments for everything that was caught in that," Vennesa looked at what was left of the building.

Elizabeth and Rocore simply watched the two's actions caused the beast to finally be destroyed as their copter quickly came down to the earth to extract them back to HQ. Rocore was the first to enter the Helicopter and was quickly followed by Elizabeth. "Always have to make a dramatic entrance and exit don't you Thomas?" She said before taking a spot and quickly checking up on her gun and supplies. She pulled out a small vial containing a dark liquid and handed it out for.

Rocore merely stood there in silence and waited for the others to board the helicopter.

((Yeah...I'm not good at the silent types xDD Ah well, I'll be sure to have fun when he and Liz get into shouting matches during missions.))

Thomas looked at Venessa, then to Gabbi, then to the rest of the group. "Job well done," he said. He sat the bag down and sat in the seat next to the door, then he tightened the strap in his seat. He sighed quietly as he moved to the door, pulling it shut. Then he nodded to the pilot.

Thomas gave a warm smile. He was relieved to see that everyone had made it out. As the helicopter took off, he sat there, contemplating. They hadn't know him for very long, but Thomas felt like he was becoming closer to his comrades; after each new battle, they seemed to become stronger and stronger. As Thomas sat there, a thought crossed his mind. He spoke aloud. "Kyle!" Thomas said. "Did anyone see him get out of the building?" Thomas slouched in his seat. Thomas wondered if he was dead, or perhaps he escaped unscathed.

Elizabeth turned to look at Thomas before giving him a small smile, "Don't worry about it, I'm sure he managed to find a way out. He's resourceful he'll manage to get back in-" Unfortunately for her or Thomas she was cut off by the larger man beside her. "Chances are he's dead with an explosion that forceful." Rocore said crossing his arms and sitting back in the seat before nodding to the pilot.

Elizabeth gave him a disproving look, "You don't need to say it like that..." She muttered to him before looking around and noticing they were missing another person. "Wheres Ms. Adams?" She asked before tilting her head lightly and looking out for her.

((Yes....Rocore's into COLD, UNCARING LOGIC...MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, so yeah he gets to be a jerk sometimes..xD))

(OCC: Laila usually tags along with Gabbi anyways, I hope she doesn't mind getting in the copter :X)

Thomas took Rocore's comment and shrugged it off. "I suppose you're right, Liz." he said quietly, leaning back in his seat. Thomas lit up as he saw her smile. Liz had always gave him lip, but he knew she always had the best intentions.

Thomas cleared his throat. "Mission complete, though we didn't exactly get the desired results completely." he said. "Man, HQ is gonna grill my ass. Oh well, we completed the mission, thats the important part." he said, looking at Venessa. "We're almost back to base. I'll handle the debriefing. Let me just check in with HQ real quick."

Thomas flipped open his cell phone and phoned HQ on an encrypted line.
"Yes," he said, "We're coming back to base....one more thing...make sure the team gets a sample of the black ooze. It's extremely corrosive so be careful....yes...I see....ok...Let's talk about it at the debriefing...Lage out." Thomas flipped it shut.

"That's odd..." Thomas thought to himself. "They told me they got a message from the main office. They said that there's a mission waiting for me, I didn't expect to go out on another mission so soon. They said that I was to go alone, and that they had found the whereabouts of D. Stroyer- and that I was to meet with him to negotiate a truce agreement of some kind."

After a few moments of odd facial expressions, Thomas returned to normal. Before he knew it they had touched down on the rooftop of the B.S.A.A. building. Kevin was approaching the copter with a small welcoming party. Thomas shook off the sinking feeling in his stomach, unbelted, and slid the door open. "We're here." he said.

(Return to the B.S.A.A. thread in Europe.)

Vennesa peered out the window as the helicopter made its way through nothing but air. She couldn't help but think of what Helen had said. Did she just join the BSAA to erase what had happened in her past? Did she think joining the BSAA would change what happened?

Vennesa looked at the floor of the helicopter before looking back up. She took a deep breath. No... She knew why she was a part of the BSAA and it was not for those reasons. Vennesa's eyes narrowed as she heard the glass of the test tube shattering, releasing that creature, in her head. She closed her eyes as the crash appeared again in her head.

Opening her eyes she looked out the window again. She could hear bits and pieces of what Thomas was saying but was not really paying attention. So much had happened. Vennesa ran a hand through her hair only to remind herself of the gash on her forehead.

She remembered that man. The lightning flashing. The thunder echoing. The wind howling, but the face of the man did not appear. Who was he? Vennesa shook her head from the thought as she felt the helicopter land.

Robert laughed. The sight of an Umbrella Facility crumbling to pieces was just what the doctor ordered. He sat up as the sanitation team left. One vein of Umbrella was sucked dry. but this was only the beginning. He wouldn't stop until the whole company was nothing but rubble. He needed someone with the resources to get the job done, he knew he wouldn't be able to go alone.

He closed up his laptop console and put it in his bag. Then he climbed down from the fire-escape that he was keeping refuge on throughout the whole ordeal. The city streets were silent and empty. It was about 2:30AM by then, and all the noises of the city had ceased. Robert walked down the road in the opposite direction from the park and disappeared into the night.

Robert walked the down the street and made his way to the corner. There he found a bar and walked in. He entered silently and took a seat at one of the corner booths. There was about an hour left until last call; Robert ordered a shot of whiskey.

Robert hit the shot and thought about what he would do next. He decided that he would have to make a choice. B.S.A.A. had been pursuing Umbrella for a long time, it might be good to be on their side. On the other hand, other groups worked in the shadows. These groups weren't the best kind to deal with, but they did a lot of work for Umbrella and had connections. Robert tossed a tip onto the table and left promptly. He had hit a moral crossroad, and he didn't know who to follow. Hopefully, he'll get Umbrella soon. Hopefully...Umbrella will fall...
