Planning

~Ei-QUE~
~*~ She sat looming over the mother board for super computer number three. Taking the sautering iron to the more delicate parts of the computer's internal drives then placed the sautering iron down, after turing it off. Watching the last peices of metal roll off the device before glancing towards Zakai. He was near the Satalite transmitter relay, or was it the External phone modem and decoy? She blinked again and looked to the peices of electronis uon the floor. The dish-washer, washing machine, even parts of the Truck were in the house. They had gone to Best Buy and even bought several lap-tops and computers. None of the super computers seeme dmore than 7 inches tall, but no less than 4 feet wide. Blinking towards Zakai again, she had worked 46 hours steaight on this newest and most important of projects. Saying then in a mental voice, that was a stark contrast to her timid verbal one. ~~ Zakai, we are runing out of materials.. again. We have already diassambled everything electronic in the house, and even the neighbors Direct TV Dish.We need to seek more parts, preferbly distributors and wires, and atop that we need new circuit boards and such. ~~ The blue prints were clear in her mind, and displayed upon the first of the computer's monitors. The process she figured would take another 56 hours with them both working upon it, not adding in sleep and eating. ~*~

~ZAKAI~
feh- they didn't need the dish anyway..all they did was watch pornos... *he glances up, pulling his hand back from where he'd been sodering connections- no sodering gun needed, he simply used his charge- carefully managed of course.* Where are we going to get more though? We can't keep going into town and picking up huge amounts of electronics...*he toys with the end of his pony tail- nervous/thoughtful habit* Even with you're manipulating their thoughts, it's only a matter of time before someone notices that alot of stuff is being bought around here....

~*~ She nodded and glanced back towards the electronics and him once more. Finally standing and blikning towards the Television. The last bastian of anything electronic. Even though she had threats on her life from Gild, Mark, and Alan of she were to dissassemble it, she paused and sighed, glancing towards the window. It was dark, late, andno electronic stores would be open. The thought of simply stealing instead of charging the items to G.U.A.R.D.'s account did occur to her, but she cast that Idea asie. Finally saying then quietly aloud ~*~ I will look in the attic and basment. There should be older radio's and perhaps a television there. Wil you accompany me? ~*~ She then dusted off her pants adjusting the time in her mind for completion up by another 45 minutes, and sighed. Glancing back towards Zakai, and saying in her mental voice ~~ If we are lucky the operatives at G.U.A.R.D. have missed most of the errors inmy programming and building, and there will be an ease of access when we "hack" into their systems. If not it may take a few minutes longer than I anticipate.. ~~ She glanced back towards him near thankful she had an intelectual equal in most aspects to aide her on her project. ~*~

why not just take apart the one in the living room if we run out again? *he doesn't care WHAT Gild, Mark and Alan say...Yvette is more imporant than some dippy shows...he'll show them that by beating it into them if he has to.* I'll help yoou look for any others though. *hoping it's not dusty...or he's going to be doing more sneezing than anything* I think it's fair to assume they likely have missed at least a few of them. It's unlikely they'll have come acrossed a tech with your skills. *her equal in some ways, perhaps, but one wouldn't think looking at the odd boy. he acted more like your typical kid..beyond his obbession with mathmatical equations that were really rather useless in life..he just found them amusing to do.*

~*~ She then gave a small tint of a smile as she decended the stairs to the basement and then flipped on the light at the end of the stair. She still spoke in her mental voice ~~ Yes they more than likely have discovered the decoys I placed prior to leaving, they were blatenly obvious, as well as the system shut-down, which may have impacted a few programs and they fied the small errors, but in theroy there are..~~ She stopped speaking as her hand pulled away a white sheet at the far end of the basment. Sheilding her eyes from the dust, and gazing in near astoundment at the electronics beneath. She blinked again and then ran her fingers over the knos and swiches, ~~ Zakai, please come here. It seems out problem has solved itself.. ~~ She then flicked a few swiches, and glanced towards the corner where it lit up. Moving towards there, and taking a hesitant hand and pulling the sheets away from the brightly lit monitors. Standing there as she folded the sheets staring at what appeared on the screen. ~*~

Hmmm? *blinking, he walks towards her- then stops to engage in some very constructive...sneezing.He sits down- still violently caught in the spasms, eyes watering* whuddat? *sniffling after he can talk, wiping at his eyes irritably. Dust..he hates dust..he's gonna hafta con someone into cleaning the basement before he ever comes down here again* I can hadly see it..*sniffling a bit still. sometimes, enhanced senses weren't so great.*

~*~ Wiping away the dust that still managed to gather upon the monitors, she stated in a monotone voice, ~*~ Security cameras, alarm systems. Seems Yvette was paraoid, but of what? Merely G.U.A.R.D. for all of this? Seems feasiable ~*~ She tought aloud as she wandered back towards the swiches. She would if she dared simply seep into his mind and tone down the receptors in his brain, but unfamiliar with the Alien Child's mind she hesitated. She then instead withdrew a hankercheif she had been using to wipe the saudering iron with and handed it to him ~~Place it over your mouth and nose, I can not offer you much for your eyes save this.. ~~ Removing the goggles from her head, there from the welding of surrport frames for the computers, she handed it to him, ~~ They will more than likely fail at helping your increased senses. . .~~ She paused again flicking a few more switches, and then simply dropping to her knees and looking under the board. Looking towards the monitors and then wires running towards them. Her mind aready asessing that they would not need all of them to care for the house, and she simply could scan for intruders. ~*~ Help me remove the green and yellow wires, leave the blue ones and white ones there, follow them to the monitors, and if you can, ~*~ not bothering to explain the rest. He should know the parts they needed. ~*~

Thanks...*he dons the items...quipping out suddenly* ready for the dissection, sam? *an exact impression of Quincy- right down to the oldish,ragged and throaty tone. Then he moves to the items in question, hands moving quickly to pluck parts here and there* I'm not surprised she has all this really...I know she liked to plan for pretty much /everything/.....

~*~ She nodded mentally as well as physically. ~~ I am wondering to as why it was never turned on , or seems to be rarely used. ~~ Glancing towards the power input and asking then as if a sudden thought ~~ If all else fails Zakai are you an addiquate power supply? It might take more power than what runs through most of these wires to power the computers, I was thinking of purchasing a generator for the back up, but why waste the time if it is possible.. that is if you can keep a steady flow. Or perhaps find if this system, when you are finished, has it's own generator and avoid the problem entirely. ~~ She paused again dissassembling a few more parts and watching the power in the Televisions go out, and a small spark retracting her hand suddenly, and simply then dulling the sensations in her fingers. ~~ perhaps you should work with the live wires Zakai... ~~ Sitting up, and then removing a few knobs and whatever else looked helpful. She then looked towards him, and though she did not need to say it, she did. ~*~ Thank you for your assistance Zakai, it has been most help-ful.

*shrugs* it's actually harder to supply power to a lightbulb without blowing it- as we both know by now- and that's alot harder to do than supply power to something actually set up to guard against surges.*after all- he'd acted as a lamp for her several times in the past..* *he can't help but grin just a bit at her telling him to work with the live wires, definately drawing their charges into him as he pulls them loose*

~*~ She shook her hand again slowly, it numbed the shake more on instinct. ~~ You are smiling at me being shocked. What is it that you find humorious about my misfortuine? ~~ She grabbed a few more things and then layed out onthe sheet. placing the items upon them and then glancing back to see how the work was coming withZakai. ~~ Place the items here and we can carry the sheet up the stairs with.. ~~ She stopped and smiled, actually gave off a soft giggle while looking towards him. His eyes mangified ever so slightly in the goggles, his face covered by the hankercheif, and ears pointing from his white hair. She blinked a bit and let her smile fade slowly as she worked to gather a fewmore things. Finding an acess of needed materials and trying to keep as much of the system down there intact. as possiable ~*~

*glances over at her- having easily caught the giggle, and replies simply* what do you find so humerous about me having the misfortune to look like an idiot to breathe in here, hmmm? *grins under his 'mask'- then goes back to diseccting the parts- tracing the way to the monitors*

~*~ Her smile faded completely then as she glanced back towards him ~*~ I apologize then, I did not mean for your feelings to be injured. It is just a very.. interesting.. look. ~*~ She hushed again then tugging a few more things off of the panneland then arranging them so they did not crush in the sheets. Saying then in a quiet mental voice ~~ Do not worry about the monitors, I shall have Geoff retrive them with me so as the dust will not bother your senses.. ~~ Quietly arranging the peices in the sheet before then standing and brushing off her hands before then moving towards the swiches. Placing the alarm audio system on, thoughthemonitors were notout of comission until they broke down the supercomputers. She would later have to ask Zakai to goon their first computer and track how many satalites they could bounce, and howmany phonelines they could run through, before proceeding with a celiuliar transmission off of Guard'sown satalitte as they were too bust chasing "ghosts" and if they celluliar link was caught it would simply loop back to the base, through the relays that would be placed. evrythingwould have to be timed perfect. The window of time with certian satalites would be very slim, though he knew the mathamatics, it should be entirely too easy for him. Knowing too they would each check re-check and check again their work before proceeding.. when the time arrived. ~*

*his visible ear twitches slightly* that's not what I meant, Jesse..*sighs a bit* oh, well.. *he finishes his bit, then grins again under the mask* think we can actually trick him into getting ambitious and actually clean up down here while he's at it? *thinks* hrm.nevermind..this is Geoff, the human potatoe we're talking about....

~*~ Quietly then asking ~*~ What did you mean then Zakai? And I /could/make Geoff do what I wanted, though it is cruel, and would more than likely not. ~~ Even though I tend to make people in the retail of electronics bend to my will, there is a greater purpose, that would be far to petty. I am assured if you were to ask him he would comply, expecially if you simply explained the surrounding circumstances. ~~ She then hoisted up part of the sheet and looked towards him. ~~ Suprising fact about Geoff from my previous experience, he may seem to be highly self-centerd, and highly self-motivated, but it is merely a simple mask he displays, in my unprofessional opinion. ~~ Tieing the corners and looking for him as to say -Let's go for now- and kneeling to hoist the sheet. ~*~

*Zak sighs a bit* I was trying to get you to think about it and understand actually..oh, well...lets get this stuff out of here...*then sighs again* and what I /meant/ wasn't MAKE Geoff do it- but trick him into doing it. Makers know he's tricked me into doing a fair amount of his chores..*of course, geoff was having to get more creative in his tricking.....Zak never fell for the same trick twice.* *silence is his only response to the rest asthey finally set back to work. he'll take on one person at a time...it's the only way he knows how to work....
