Special Branch Living Dead Summary
Ok I don’t know how good this will be but here goes:
At the start of the thread Wisp and Safe had just busted out of the medical facility with little ghost and met the underground guy called Huxley. SR appeared doing some theft. Vixen gets busted out of Jail by the resistance. Soul and Needy escaped with friends and met up with Needy’s old friend Kyra who shot him but of course its needy.
Citizen infiltrates the underground and meets somebody he knows. The underground are transporting Needy’s Other friend Milton. The medical escapees hide in a warehouse for a while.
Sykes (the doctor looking after the deadish Seryn) blows up his computers. Transport arrives in warehouse complete with Vixen, Citizen, Jack, and Fletchette oh and Milton.
The people in the transport pull off a very exciting car-chase/gun fight.
That bloke Roberts who is somehow helping Needy went Professor Xavier on some guys ass and made him shoot himself.
We final find out Seryn is still alive!! Yay!! Safe punched Sykes and everyone had A jolly nice reunion. SR appeared at our door so we Let him join our band of merry men women & children.
Milton appears to have jolly rogered the resistance but now regrets his actions upon finding Needy alive. Some snipers appeared and Wisp had a dream.
Seryn bonds with ghost and wonders how she’s the same ghost she knows just not. The evil Carsons re-enter our story. And Seryn convinces the motley crew to play social services.
A branch of the resistance got arrested.
Aprilise posted a FANTASTIC and intresting background into the carsons history. Safe shows his paternal side and we meet the Girl Spider (cool name a cant imagine the christening) and after much debate she joins our party.
Clayton and Robert Wu discuss Needy’s dark new powers and motovations.
Rosie (after much anticipation) has shedded her woody exterior and become a proper Humanoid plant girl!! Even if she does ramble on a bit.
SR Seryn and Safe (too many characters with S’s) arrive at the Carson’s farm and through a process of blackmail threats and violence locate Shadow and Truth.
The appearance of the characters is decided upon and follows as
Wisp - Tom Welling (Smallville)
Vixen - Selma Blair (Hellboy)
Jack - John C McGinley (Scrubs)
Safe - Kurt Russell (Stargate)
Bear - Michael Clark Duncan (Green Mile)
Jennings - Ryan Reynolds (Blade Trinity)
Grunt: Patrick Warburton (Seinfeld/Scream 3)
Flechette: Melina KaraKaredes (CSI:NY)
Versa: Anna Belknap (CSI:NY/The Handler)
Amy: Mira Sorvino (Mimic)
Needy - Ian Somerhalder (Lost)
Kyra - Evangeline Lily (Lost)
Milton - Sam Huntington (Superman Returns)
Robert Wu - Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica)
Janus - Robert Patrick (Terminator 2)
Phelps - Peter Weller (Robocop/24)
Seryn-Claudia Black (farscape)
Sykes- Malcom McDowel
Jack-Dr Cox (scrubs)
Spider---AnnaSophia Robb(Charlie and chocolate Factory)
SR- Cant decide so a strange genetic cross breed ofClive Owen (King Arthur, I'll sleep when I'm Dead), Tcheky Karyo (Wing commander, The original La Femme Nikita) or maybe Ralph Fienness (Strange Days). Remember Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in Die another Day? When he gets out of the prision camp, that's the look, hair long, beard, lot's of scruff. A bit of faded flash living on the edge like Antonio Banderas in Desperado. What did the Rangers look like in Middle Earth, regal bearing, shabby clothes, muddy boots, bright swords. Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe: a bloody killing officer, a real veteran soldier hardened from years of battle, promoted up from the ranks, not some foppish dandy who bought his commision with his parents money. Dirty Uniform, clean rifle. A survivor, like Christian Bale in Reign of Fire
Soul-Jensen Ackles(supernatural)
Then we all reappear at the Epsilon and set off for wacky space born adventures.
(inbetween theres been many flashbacks that were too numerous and indepth to write about)

Rube watched, his hand shielding his eyes from the wind, as the Epsilon rose up through the roof of his hanger with more than just a little relief and some pride. The old bird looked good cleaned up and his makeshift docking bracket holding the Nandi atop, looked real good from where he stood.
He continued to watch as the Epsilon banked and then flew off, staying close to the ground. When it was out of sight he shivered a little recalling the plant people. “It weren’t right, not right at all. Plants shouldn’t aughta talk” he muttered as he cast a nervous eye at the cornfield across the road, then hurried into his hanger, closing and locking the door behind him.

Safe rose out of the co-pilots chair as Seryn escorted Spider, Ghost in tow, to the cockpit and motioned for Spider to take the vacated seat.
Spider’s apprehensions were quickly replaced by excitement and wonder that she struggled mightily and unsuccessfully to hide from the strangers.
At Spider’s direction, Wisp piloted the Epsilon along the river as it wound through a wooded area, staying close enough to the water as to kick up a wake. The Epsilon finally rocks to a stop at the mouth of a small clearing not 100 metres from the foot of a water fall, and hovers over the water.
“You sure this is the place?” Safe asks Spider from his spot crouched between the pilot and co-pilot chairs.
“What? You think they’re just going to standing in the open waiting for you ‘knights in shining armor’ to swoop down and carry them away to Fairy Tale Land?? Get a grip. I’m not even sure yet why I’m helping you mooks out.” She glares at Safe , Wisp and Seryn.
“’Cuz if you don’t you’re gonna learn fast enough if you can fly.” S.R. says from behind Seryn as he approaches the cockpit.
Seryn turns and glares at him. Safe and Wisp stifle chuckles.
“C’mon little one.” Safe says as he scoops Ghost up in his arms. “Time to get your siblings.”
OOC: Nice Summary Wisp! I've got one final bit ready to go and hope to post it prior to the holidays. Just waiting for April.
In case I don't get the chance, Merry Christmas everyone! I know I've said it time and again, but this thread is fantastic! And you guys/gals have made it that way. Thank-you for letting me part of this incredible story!

Merry Christmas Everyone,

Ever since taking her seat beside Milton in the Epsilon, Kyra had spent the majority of the time thusfar with her head in her hands, suffering from what could only be described as an atomic hangover.
Milton had given her some painkillers as soon as they boarded but they sure did take their time to work.
As the pain subsided, Kyra began to think about what had happened.
The vague answers she had been given now seemed as satisfying as a kick in the teeth. If anything, she had more questions.
Like how did Bernie... scratch that... how did Needy get involved with these characters?
She had heard that prior to meeting him for the first time, he had broken a few rules and gone up against a gangster to help a woman named Serenity, but she wasn't sure of the details. In fact, it was one of the only things he had not told her much about. Perhaps he was ashamed for some reason, she wasn't sure. Even so, allying himself with rebels seemed out of character.
Unless of course, there was more to the story than she knew. And of course, being a reporter she should have realised... there's always two sides to every story.
She was willing to hear their side at this point. But right now, nobody was giving her any answers, and she couldn't pluck up the courage to just come out and ask, at least not with Needy sitting only a few feet away.
She just wanted him to forget she was there. She didn't want to be seen by him, she couldn't bear the thought of it.
Was it shame? Possibly. But the question lingered
"What if he never could forgive me?"
The ship slowed as it came to a stop.
Kyra realised she had no idea where they were heading. What surprised her though was that the unknown wasn't scaring her. She could be leaving everything behind, they could be off to another planet for all she knew, and yet it didn't faze her.
She might miss one or two people - Clayton, Perry - but that was all. Truth be told she had already said goodbye to it all. From the moment she found out Needy had died (or so she thought) and picked up that weapon, she understood that there was a good chance she might not be around for much longer.
And she was okay with that because... because she felt she had nothing left to live for. Or rather, nobody to live for
But she was wrong.
She did have someone out there... someone in here, in this ship.
It didn't matter where they were heading as long as she was with him.
As crazy as it sounded, even though she felt she didn't want to be there onboard with him, she knew she didn't want to be anywhere else.

Spider looked down at Ghost again, then back up at the adults. “Bratling, you know I won’t be able to get there with you on my legs like that, why don’t you let one of the adults carry you.
Ghost shook her head looking cautiously over at SR. “No hurt ‘Pider?” she asked cautiously. “Don’t be silly bratling, The adult is not going to hurt me.” *at least not till you let go she thought to herself… *on second thought.
“On my back munchkin.” Spider said kneeling down so the younger girl could climb up. “Hovercraft won’t work, the trees get too dense to fly them, and they don’t do well over the river. A hover bike would though, more maneuverability. Wouldn’t trust any of these things though, the only people who even attempt to fix them is Idiot boy and the brats.”
“A ship will work as long as it works over water, can’t fly through the trees, but if you can fly over the rapids you can follow the river.” She said as she looked at the assembled group.
Spider sat silently on the ship, Ghost sleeping soundly on her lap, the young girls head resting on the older girls shoulder. She was really starting to regret trying to rob this transport. First she was threatened with death…ok that wasn’t so out of the norm, it was rare to go a whole day without a death threat of some kind, usually more than one. Second she was stuck watching Bratling, She was not a babysitter! Third she was stuck being babysat by Violent Guy…note to self think of better nicks for these goobs. Fourth she was going to have to explain to Idiot Boy why she was near Bratling. On second thought when did she ever listen to anything that Idiot told her….

Wisp pulled the bird into the air smoothly without a hitch. Eventually he settled into a low orbit and turned round to the crew.
"Where do I head?? I need a rough direction to head in. Suggestions??"
“You just have to follow the river, most people stop when the rapids get to level 5, go past those and there is a waterfall, a big waterfall, Drop close to the water level at the bottom of the waterfall and within a mile there is a series of rivers that connect to the river we are following, Just passed those is the cove, If you hit the second set of rapids you went too far.”

The small group stepped silently off the ship, Spider in the lead.
“Well?” SR said fingering his weapon
“Yo Truth get out here!” Spider yelled.
Everything was silent for a moment…then a young girl peeked out of one of the caves. When she saw Spider she ran out to the older girl babbling.
“Spider! Spider! Come help now!” Shadow said grabbing Spider’s hand the moment she noticed the older girl, completely ignoring the adults and the ship behind the older

“Brat, Calm down. What’s goin on?” Spider said trying to get feeling back in the hand the ten year old was gripping tightly.
“He’s hurt, He was better for awhile then yesterday he passed out and I pulled him from the river but he wasn’t breathing then I remembered what you said about what to do when someone is’nt breathing after being in water and he started again but then he started shaking and got really hot and cold and hot again then…and Ghost was missing and he was worried and and…” Spider grabbed the girl by the shoulders and knelt in front of her. “Breath…you’re not doing him any good if you are panicking and you definitely won’t if you pass out. Ghost is fine, see she’s over there. Now run and get your things, then take your sister and get on that ship over there, I’ll take care of the Idiot ok?”
Shadow looked nervously at the assembled group of adults she had just noticed then back at Spider, before grabbing Ghost’s good hand and running into the caves to do as Spider had told her. Spider watched them go then made her way to the cave Shadow had gestured to during her babble. Not caring whether the adults followed or not.
OOC: Happy New Year everyone (figured i'd try to get this up before 2007 not as great as it could be but at least I got it up.
"Can you say 'Hypothermia' boys and girls?" says SR as he slings his weapon and quiclkly grabs his pack and follows Spider into the cave. He looks back over his shoulder and yells, "Some one grab a stretcher I'll get him ready to move."
Inside the cave SR finds a Spider crouched over a boy who is clearly in a bad way. SR quickly pulls a poncho and a sleeping bag out of his pack. He lays out his poncho on the floor of the cave and puts his sleeping bag on top of it.
"Get him out of his clothes." He instructs Spider. She looks at him with a look of contempt and disgust.
"His clothes are wet and we don't have time to dry them too. If you don't want to help get out of the way." Spider reluctantly begins to undress the boy though she stops at his underwear.
"good enough," SR remarks as he quickly puts the boy into the sleeping bag. He then bends two chemical heating pads until they crack and activate, which he places inside the sleeping bag with the boy. He zips the sleeping bag all the way up and puts a wool hat on the boys head, just as Safe arrives carrying a old military surplus stretcher followed by Truth, Ghost and Seryn.
"What we got?" asks Safe as he sets the stretcher down next to the tarp.
"Looks like hypothermia to me."
"Girls," says Seryn, "gather up your's and your brother's things we need to get him on the ship in a hurry."
SR and Safe use the tarp to lift the boy and the sleeping bag, all in one, onto the stretcher. SR puts on his pack and then he and Safe pick up the stretcher and make their way back to the Epsilon.
"I got some heat packs in the sleeping bag to to get him warmer." Says SR.
"Yeah, but that's on the outside, his core temperature is too low."
"I know. Does the Epsilon have the capability of making tea? If not I have a camp stove."

On the Epsilon:
"I know how to make tea!" Rosie replies, happy to finally be confronted with something familiar. She rushes off to the tiny room with the kitchenette.

Clayton:
Go se happens.
People get unlucky - get mowed down by hovermule's, are mistaken for terrorists and shot, are at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Other people are a bit more fortunate.
By some incredible fluke, they pick the right numbers in the lottery and win millions in credits, their lives change overnight. Or they meet the perfect partner, and live a long happy life together.
Other people... can't be categorised in either.
I don't believe in fate, or destiny, or in any of that fei hua. I don't believe that our lives are written out for us. We make our own destiny. Like the good book says, "time and unforseen occurence befalls us all". Sometimes we just are, like I say, in the wrong place at the wrong time. Go se happens.
But on occasion, I meet people, I hear of things that makes me question that. Coincidences happen, sure. But there are times when it seems that things do happen for a reason. When things can't be explained so simply.
I just don't know whether whatever's happened to Needy has happened for a reason.
He died, but then he came back. And now it appears he has strange powers. Robert seems to think he is being controlled by something, some other force, some invisible man? I'm not sure.
I don't know if I believe in God, but after all I've seen, I know there is something else out there, there has to be, even if we may not be able to see it.
I just hope Needy isn't a victim of circumstance, but there is some good reason for whatever he's going through
What Robert has described though, sounds eerily familiar. As if it's happened before. Cases of people claiming to be possessed are surprisingly common, though normally they originate from convicted murderers. But every now and again, genuine people with nothing to gain have reported them.
If I'm to find out what's going on with Needy, the least I can do is use my resources to check up on these other incidents

Wisp stays in the cockpit while the child resquers annoymous do there business. He listens to the comm to check for chatter that might give them any trouble, but nothing does. He sits back and enjoys five seconds peace for a change.
