(Hey jerks! My hands still hurt, so I typed this chapter with mah toes! Elli and Jack are up in Toronto now, and I know have an unnatural fear of all birds small and blue!)

Tech walked in the main room, Ace and the others were already there. The yellow rabbit didn't look too happy,"Well Tech, I think I've come up with an answer to that question of yours."
Tech blinked and groaned inwardly,"And that would be?"
"Tape the girl's mouth shut."
Tech sighed,"Ace, I really don't want to go into this..."
Ace interupted,"Oh, but you need to, Tech; you can't shelter a murderer."
Tech slitted his eyes,"Siriu didn't kill those people on purpose. It was agaisnt her will."
Ace stood up and placed his hand of the cyote's shoulder,"Tech, buddy, she still killed innocent people. Siriu probably would have killed you in your sleep."
Tech pulled away,"Then why am I still alive? And what could she have gained by warning me beforehand?"
Ace glared,"She's taking over your mind; if this was about anyone else, you'd have sent them to an asylum."
Tech fought off the urge to tear Ace's mouth out,"You act as if you knew her."
Duck spoke up,"We know that she's a threat, and she's gotta be stopped."
The green canine's fur bristled,"Duck, was I talking to you?"
Suddenly, clapping was heard and silenced the argueing. Standing in fornt them, a little ways off, was Siriu, a smug little grin decorating the corners of her mouth,"Wow, just think, just a couple generations back, you'd have torn their little heads off! Aren't human emotions just amazing...?"
The blue female took a spot beside Tech,"In case you hadn't noticed, I didn't take you all out when I had the chance
because I didn't want to. And the only reason I'm not chewing your innards now, is because I'm not under an influence anymore."
The others' eyes went wide as they saw her, clad in similar garments. Tech relaxed, and half closed his eyes,"Siriu isn't the enemy here, Cheif."He nodded to Siriu.
"Then who is?" Ace asked nervously; he didn't trust her, but if Tech did...
She rolled her wrist around,"Not really a 'who', per se, more like a what,"Siriu removed the collar and opened it. A hologram projected out of the gold tag; it showed Station Beta, in all its hideous splendor,"A complex society of leathal assasins and twisted leaders is more accurate. Canines and gryphons are the only allowed species, carnivores only. Operatives live off only a mouthful of blood for days, weeks at a time. The wonderful little Blood Control PX is credited to that perk..."she sighed and licked the corners of her mouth,
"The building itself is made of pure granite, reenforced with the hardest substance known to dogkind,"she paused,"The interior is designed so that no one can find their way back...without a map, at least. Any ememy or unfamiliar being found within is killed on the spot and used to make soup. The main objective there is to take Acmetropilis, by destroying the current dominant species. Any questions?"
Ace glared slightly,"Yeah, why should we listen to you?"
The light blue dog smiled,"Still sore about me kicking your ass?"
He scowled,"Watch it, doggy."
Siriu tied the collar around her neck,"As defenders of this city, one would think you'd at least try and stop its population from being wiped out...Geuss I'm wrong, eh rabbit?"
Ace felt an uncomfortable prickle go through to his very soul. Can she possibly be right?
