Togusa dropped into the tunnel. Being the smallest member of the team other then the Major had its advantages, but also some drawbacks. This was one of them. He fit through the vent ducts, where his partner, the massive cyborg Batou, could not. Oh sure the big guy could pound his way in, but so could the Tachikomas. He was following up on a report of someone living in these tunnels. Here he was under the Tokyo Ruins, looking into a vagrancy case that should have been handled by the local cops...
But someone had pulled strings, got someone from section 9 to come look at the site...
He entered the car, looking around, when he came face to face with a snarling female...
He froze.
Then he noticed that she was frozen solid, and then she was not the only one...
hey Big Guy, I got four people here in cased in ice, call in the rescue teams
Done. The Chief says good work, now we baby-sit them until they are cleared for debriefing. Oh and beware of touching contact surfaces
"Great, now he tells me!"

The doctor stepped out of the room, turning to the operatives, "Good news, all four are alive, no sign of the toxin found in the ice crystals, somehow they were able to contain the toxin in the ice, before it could harm them. Bad news, the computer has recognized the four. They all have police records, but no arrests, indictments, or convictions. they were also listed as Missing in Action, as they disappeared during the first major attacks on Tokyo. Three are members of a so-called strike force know as the NWC or Nerima Wrecking Crew, the fourth is a either a leader of a small time crime syndicate or a small time operative of one of the old crime families."
Togusa raised an eyebrow, "So, what froze them?"
The doctor looked at his pad, "Compound NX-6, It was once used as a fire suppressant, and coolant, as the more heat thrown at it, the more it absorbed. it was found to be toxic in large quantities, so they only use it now days were no human contact is possible." he frowned, "it seems that at the time these four disappeared, presumed dead, the compound was a special order terrorist toxin.

She woke slowly as she usual did, but the noise was wrong. She opened one eye, and looked about. this was no clinic, this was a big city hospital, very expensive. then she saw the equipment...
She sat up.
'Mistake' she clutched her head, 'big mistake'
"Shampoo no get up, too too early"
her head came up slowly, 'oh shit.'
"Another Ranma Special, Ran-Chan? or can I interest you in something off a different menu?"
'just my luck, killer cook and miss hair-ball,' her eyes snapped open " Date with Ranma, going now for 50 yen!"
both girls snapped upright, reaching for their money, when the headaches hit, then two sets of bloodshot eyes glared at Nabiki, who gave the sign for silence... then with a nasty grin she started to purr and meow, grinning the other two joined in.
the response was noted at once by the still sleeping figure in the room, who started to twitch and whimper as the girls raised the volume of their noise and increased the demand of the kittens they were imitating...
"Cats!" and a naked Ranma was hanging buy fingers and toes from the ceiling...
"And We are even"
"OK"
"Nice trick"
"Hey Ranma. Loving the view."
a squeak and Ranma was back in bed.
just as the doctor walked in,. "oh shit, your awake."
