IT had been some time since Hunter had gotten things started for the resistance. There was a group who were training to capture a Stalker robot and this sparked some interest with Syn. She wanted to speak with her brother as well as any of the others that they could locate.

Syn had ran into Saturn in one of the hallways of the labs. She looked up at the massive clone. "Tell Abyss I want to speak with him." Her tone was calm but there was a hint of urgency within it.

Syn turned to look in the direction Saturn had pointed. She didn't really like the way he responded though. Tell him yourself The remark burned in her ears as she walked up to her brother. "I'd like to talk but not where Hunter or his henchmen can hear."

Currently Vibe was sitting in one of the nearby hallways, not caring whether she was in people's way or not. Her room was too depressing, she'd already raided the Cafeteria several times in the last hour, the outside was too cold, and all of the doors she'd tried so far were either locked or had people in them. Finally fed up, she'd simply crossed her legs and sat down in the middle of a hallway. She wanted privacy to work on the lyrics she was altering, but it seemed that wasn't going to happen. So instead she settled for someplace that she could easily ignore others. As was her nature, she didn't care who she annoyed in the process.

She leaned up against one wall, pad in her lap, pen in hand, and a gummi worm hanging out of her mouth.

It was somewhat of a suprise when Abyss stated that he could provide a place for their little gathering that would be private. Had he been snooping around and stumbled onto such a setting? Her brothers comment regarding cell phones brought an idea into Syn's mind. She really needed to utilize the resources Dorian had provided her. She would have some sort of communications devices built for her group. Her mind began to wander into other things but she snapped herself back to the topic at hand.

"I'm not sure where any of them have gone off to. I think overcast went to the infirmary but as for the others we'll have to look for them." The girl paused for a moment as she thought of how to find Vibe. The girl could feel vibrations so perhaps we can draw her to them. "Do you know morse code my dear brother? If you do then you should be able to send out signals to Vibe by either stomping your foot on the floor or hitting the walls with your palm. Just don't do it so hard that you cause damage or attract Hunter's people.

Long ago, the Twins had learned to tune out the numerous vibrations around them very quickly. Otherwise they'd have long gone insane from the constant thrum and shaking in their skulls. Separated from her sister, Vibe wasn't as sensitive to those feelings around her. Otherwise she would have picked up not only the SOS but the source of it, almost instantly. As it was, she just barely felt it, and that was mainly because her hand was currently flat against the concrete floor while she thought.

Curious, she twisted and put her ear to the ground, doing her best to cast out and find the source. Not that she really had any intention of responding to an emergency. But she was still curious, especially since SOS's often indicated impeding disasters. And impending disasters were quite fun to be involved in.

Usually....

Two more sets of vibrations reached her. Since they were nearby, she was able to identify them as voices. Now very curious, she gathered her paper and pen and stood, and went in search of them. She only needed to move over one hallway to recognize the pair speaking, and followed their voices through the maze. Coming around the corner, she spotted Syn and Abyss.

<"You rang?"> They couldn't hear her, but her body language and facial expression relayed her query well enough.

A figure moving caught Syn's peripheral vision and as she turned a smile crossed he lips. She was smiling for two reasons. First being that her idea worked and second that Vibe had decided to rejoin them. The girl seemed to be in a little bit better of a mood from when they first arrived at the labs.

"Welcome Vibe. I'm calling for a private meeting for our group." Syn turned so she could address both Vibe and her bother. "I don't want to waste more time looking for Overcast so I'd like to get our meeting started. We can fill in any of the others later."

Now speaking directly to her brother. "You mentioned knowing a place for us to talk privately, enlighten us."

"Well, you got me there. I wasn't expecting that at all dear brother. Though I admit it is a bit weird that we'll be inside you." Syn shook her head and stepped into the portal.

"Welcome Vibe. I'm calling for a private meeting for our group. I don't want to waste more time looking for Overcast so I'd like to get our meeting started. We can fill in any of the others later."

Private meeting? That sounded interesting. So Syn didn't trust Hunter either, it seemed.

"You mentioned knowing a place for us to talk privately, enlighten us."

"Well, Vibe already knows exactly what I am talking about. She has visited."

The redhead brightened a bit as a portal opened. She didn't hesitate at all to enter. This time she didn't feel disoriented at all.

"Hiya boys," she greeted the clones and Abyss easily. With steps being taken toward reuniting her family, coupled with being able to speak freely, she was in much better spirits today. "Syn, please tell me that you have some other ideas about this whole Resistance thing. I could care less about this long term talk. We've got to do something now!" Better spirits meant the return of the edge to her tongue and temper.

((OOC: Modified the introductions of Sonya as Teresa as Sonya's true identity is being kept secret and only Syn knows for now. Thank you.))

The explanation from her brother helped some with the disorientation feeling. It was definately a strange feeling but the fact that they had some privacy also helped her focus. "Well, first off...it's nice to actually hear from you Vibe. I also agree with you about wanting to do something now. That's why I've decided to let you both know that we have informants on the outside. They're both mutants. One of them has already been to Sanctuary. The one who was introduced to us as Sonny. The fact is he is a she and her name is Teresa. She can copy people. The other is a girl named Ash. She can tell things from objects people have touched. Both of them have been given the task of finding out as much information as possible. Sonya has already made contact with one of the police detectives."

Syn stopped for a moment as that was quite a bit for the others to soak up. Once she was sure they were still following along Syn continued. "As for the resistance I think we should continue to help Hunter with catching one of those robots and even breaking out our friends. However, I'm not about to wait for him to debate with the humans to have the law revoked. That could take years. Instead I think we need to go for the throat as it were. We need to cut off the support for those robots. After that the humans are cattle to the slaughter." She looked at Vibe and her brother and waited for their thoughts.

(OOC: Sorry, didn't feel like switching accounts. )

Vibe smiled, or would have if it could be seen, at the thought that someone on the outside was doing something other than sitting on their hands.

"A police detective? Why didn't he help out at the Raid?" Vibe thought bitterly. Her thought was automatically projected into the void. Immediately she thought, and thus 'said', "Forgot about that...."

"As for the resistance I think we should continue to help Hunter with catching one of those robots and even breaking out our friends. However, I'm not about to wait for him to debate with the humans to have the law revoked. That could take years. Instead I think we need to go for the throat as it were. We need to cut off the support for those robots. After that the humans are cattle to the slaughter."

Again, the first thought that popped out of Vibe's mental voice was a whiny, "Do we have to?" She added, "Can't we do this on our own? I don't trust Hunter. He's got another agenda, I just know it! Do we even know he's a mutant?"

Looking to Vibe for a moment Syn smiled and nodded. "I haven't decided yet if we will break off once we get our people back. As much as I hate to admit it we do still need help with fighting those robots. So whether it's Huner's help, the X-men or even both; we have to do it together."

Vibe pouted. "Fine." She wasn't really a team player, so working with others she didn't trust didn't set well. But there was nothing to be done about, for now.

"So what's next then? How do we find out where these metalheads came from? I don't know what they were made of, but to be that hard to break, they must have been expensive. Anyone know any computer geeks that can track down the credit line?"

The questions from Vibe were perfect tasks to hand off to Sonya and her wonderful ability. "I don't know a computer geek but I'm pretty sure I can have one of our outside operatives find out something. Once we find out as much as we can then we'll figure out what to do as I'm sure there will most likely be some of those damn machines around." She looked to her companions to see what they thought of that.

"Yeah. When can we blow this place? I'm getting claustrophobic. I need a serious shopping spree fix."

Had she been standing on firm ground, her foot would have been tapping.

"I need clothes with some style in it, not sparkly dragonflies and cinderella pink skorts."

SYn nodded to her brother as they were on the same page. They needed to track down the creator of the Stalkers and see what they could do to either destroy to machines or possibly employ them.

Vibe's comments made Syn smile a bit as the girl was getting back to being herself. "Once we're out of here then you can shop all you want my dear Vibe. Hopefully we can keep all this under wraps from Hunter and his cronies. On a side note I do want to find out more about Hunter." The look on Syn's face had a visible sign of priority mixed with curiousity. "That might be another task for my little informants if I can get either of them here to the labs."
