Own nothing.

And so the tale continues.

Jinx took her time to review the facts as she knew them. Her main focus was on her fellow ninja, and that odd group of Greenshirts. The greenshirts were often trying to prank Beach Head. So it could have been an honest accident. Even still... she would get them back.

She knew Storm Shadow wouldn't do something like that to her. She was his baby cousin. It wasn't Snake Eyes style. Sure he might pull a small prank to use as a point to training, but nothing like this. And Kamakura, well she was sure it wasn't him. He would be too afraid of the possible outcome to prank her.

It had to be the greenshirts. Her revenge was going to involve lots of duct tape. Not very creative, she knew, but still a little painful and annoying as hell. And she figured she could always tell Duke and Hawk it was part of a special training exercise for the greenshirts, right? How to avoid angry ninja. That was the story she was going to stick with.

Jinx made herself a list of supplies and possible suspects to investigate. She decided to start listening in on the gossip and see if anything was dropped about the culprits as she was collecting her revenge items. Starting out in the motor pool near where the incident seemed the most logical. As Jinx made her way there, she could feel the eyes and hear the light snickers of the passerby's as they imagined her expression during the assault of goo. "Can you believe that? Jinx had to be pissed. I mean, how did she walk into it? I thought they were always watching for that stuff," were the most common comments being whispered low. Someone was going to get hung from the motor pool rafters while looking like a caterpillar in a duct tape cocoon she decided. And see how long it takes people to see that.

After reaching the motor pool, Jinx began to survey the area. The mess had been cleaned up, and everyone was paying attention to their assignments and work. No one even seemed to notice her. She made her way up into the ceiling area, to look about for clues. There was nothing of particular notice, leaving her to believe the guilty parties had quickly cleaned up. Maybe it had been set for the Sgt. Major after all. The Greenshirts would have gone out of their ways to avoid the punishments from him. Like having to paint the entire Pit. Or build his new obstacle course.

As Jinx was preparing to work her way back down to the floor, she saw 2 of the greenshirts from the crowd earlier. They were both new, and still adjusting. One was still a little too ballsy. He believed himself to be the next great Hawk, even though he was still low man on the totem pole. And at the rate he was going, Jinx believed he would be washed out by BeachHead before he got anywhere. The other was a relatively meek fellow. He didn't stand out in any real way. The two were taking some parts over to the mechanics and chatting as they went. The meek one was not very loud and seemed content to move along at a slow pace. The other was being loud about having to do "such menial work that should be done by grunts." Jinx wanted to slap him for being an idiot. But she didn't have to. BeachHead walked up behind the pair. "And what are we doing here? Taking a little stroll? Get those parts to the mechanics NOW! I have other work for you two pansies to get done! There is no time for you to just stand around all day! Now MOVE!" The two men quickly apologized and ran. As soon as they dropped off the parts, they ran back to where Beach was standing, and awaited the next set of orders. He sent them off to help in the kitchens. Jinx watched the loud one's expressions during the whole thing. He couldn't seem to keep the disdain or annoyance from his features when Beach barked at him. His body language, when Beach wasn't looking, was of defiance. He certainly seemed to think he was above the Sargent Major.

Jinx wasn't going to put it past that one to be the culprit. And she was ready to bet money that guy had set the trap for Beach.
