Well, I think China should attempt to blow up the evil, Communist dictator himself (not that I have anything personal against you, McDibsky Wink ). It's just that a rebel with a ton of dynamite should go straight for the jugular, with none of this messing around with favorite buildings. You blow up one of Muaddib's favorite buildings and then what? He just gets ticked off and sends a few hundred slaves to rebuild it.

Try not to kill too many civilians if you can help it, though. Wink

Well, can't we just spy on him, and find out his schedule and THEN bomb him? Seems logical to me. Cool

Well, I think he can try to blow Mua up, but it wouldn't really be fair to let him be successful, would it? I think we can acheive more if we get around to pissing him off. Do we only have enough dynamite for one target? If we have enough, let's blow up a religious building, Mua's treasury and... is Chinaren against blowing up prostitutes? That would really hit Mua where it hurts... Razz

This being Chinaren, I suspect he'd try to take awa MkDibsky's financial backing, and voted accordingly.

And winning.

Aww... *hugs Crymmy back* Missed ya!

I know I suggested otherwise, but I'm in a screwing-around-with-people mood tonight, so I voted to blow up his favorite places. Looks like I'm losing, though. Sad

Right Chapter 6 it is then! Very Happy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CH 6 - To plan or not to plan. What was the question?

China finally felt like he wasn't all on his own. He had friends and this was a great start. These weren't people he was paying to be his friends either so this was certainly a refreshing change. Looking at the plans before him he decided that this was definately time to get his own back. He'd always fancied a go at being the rebel anyway. He decided to do the one thing he was good at. He'd aquire himself some cash. Still feeling sore he turned his gaze to Smee.

"So how is Muaddib getting enough money to be running IF? It isn't like he knows anything about finance. He's far to interested in where he can stick his food vouchers..."

His thoughts trailed off slightly.

"I know precisely where he can stick his ..."

"Boss?"

"Erm? Oh yes where is he getting his cash then?"

Smee took off his helmet and gave his head a good scratch.

"Well we don't know. We still have an operative out in the field trying to find out who's backing him. But you already know that. You where the one who sent her out there. She should be back to report any time soon actually if she hasn't been caught. What we do know is where the money is being stored. It's in the Red Vault in the IF Extra Fashionable Mint."

Little cogs where whirring in China's head.

"Hmm Muaddib isn't in this on his own ... I knew he wasn't that smart ..."

He looked back to Phang and Smee with the grin of a psychopath who's just been given a big axe and told he can do whatever he likes for a day.

"We're going to need a little financial backing of our own. Smee we're going to keep that dinamite until we need it. In the mean time I'll be wanting to make a large cash withdrawal from that vault. Think you can get us in?"

Smee furrowed his brow. Not that you could see this happening for the mop of hair covering his eyes.

"This isn't really in my field of expertise boss. I'm a good miner but not much else. (He looked to his wife,) what about you honey?"

Phang. Who had now finished undoing the brutal work the reporters had so lovingly bestowed upon Chinaren shook her head thoughtfully.

"Hmm. No I can't help you either I'm afraid. You need someone on the inside or you'll never get into the bank. We aren't of a low enough class you see. Only the lower classes can get into the bank and the lowest of the low, those being Muaddib's personal agents, into the vault."

She did that thing that only women can do well. Say they can't do anything to help solve a problem while at the same time solving it infront of you. You could always tell by their eyes ... slightly shifty looking. She snapped her fingers.

"Got it! I do know someone who can help! He just happens to be on the finance division as well. What was his name now ... I remember. Agent S. Lee. I looked after him for quite a while about six months ago. He certainly wasn't happy with the way Muaddib was running things. It turns out that the agents working for him don't get payed or anything, they just do it out of pure zelous love for him. He said that anything they do get is aquired as a gift. This guy certainly wasn't any kind of charity case thats for sure. As far as I know he's still at the hospital as well. After we'd fixed him he decided that the place was embezelling money from the state and therefore needed to be kept a very close eye on."

Phang gave the two a wink with a knowing smile.

"He's probably been skimming the hospital funds ever since. I really think he'll help us. But we aren't going to be able to do anything until we get out of this mine."

China nodded. He was suddenly feeling rather excited. To the point that he didn't feel depressed and downtrodden anymore. He was going to hit Muaddib in a very painful place. His wallet.

"Where are the Thingy Students for Whatsisfaces then? Oh you know! The canary crunchers?"

Smee shrugged. "Dunno boss. They should have long been back by now. Maybe they had a run in with the press?"

Almost a if China's question had summoned them, a team of what could only be classed as commandos burst into the room. These where possibly the most heavily armed bunch of bird lovers that ever walked the face of IF. The disconcerting thing about this was what they where quite obviously using as ammunition. They were all wearing bandoliers stuffed with little pouches of bird seed. Their leader, a rather pretty lady in an elegant ensemble of bright yellow cammo gear pushed to the front giving a salute.

"Leutenant Thracia Alba reporting Sir! Operation complete Sir!"

China's brain geared back into, "What the frog?!" mode but he was getting used to this and decided just to play along.

"Erm ... yes ... excellent work leutenant. Give me an erm ... status report."

"Sir yes sir! Chaos caused sir! Guards are fighting with the reporters sir!"

China pictured the image of a few very flat guards and an irate Kalanna screaming words that would be censored if not completely removed from any language. He cast a look to Smee and Phang. Both read this look as. "Are you absolutely sure we aren't going to be found here?" Both then looked at each other and said in perfect unision.

"I think we'd better get going."

Smee stuck his helmet back on his head and motioned to the others miners from China's rescue mission. They all grabbed their pick axes and made for a dirt wall on the opposite side of the little cave and started digging furiously. During this the canary combatants took battle stations over the entrance to the room where any unsuspecting oncomer would have an onslought of bird food to face.

After some burrowing. The wall, which had already been dug out and filled back in again at an earlier time, collapsed. This revealed another nicely dug out tunnel. The resistance group didn't need to be told to move anywhere as the sounds of fighting and swearing could now be heard echoing around the tunnels. They headed off down the new passage backed up all the way by the rather fiersome bird brigade to a ladder leading to the surface.

Smee. Who was already at the top of the ladder pushed some wooden boards out of the way. He saw day light. He smiled to himself and motioned to the others who didn't need any encouragement to follow him. Climbing out of the chute he saw a pair of legs and a rather confused looking Crymzon. He cursed to himself.

"I have to learn to stop mis-reading maps. We're supposed to be in one of the salt warehouses."

Crymzon didn't look very impressed at having his booth invaded. He was tapping his foot in that "I'm really not very pleased about this," manner. He was also reaching for a sledge hammer in that,"I'm going to smash your skull in," manner.

Thracia's voice could be heard from the bottom of the ladder.

"Status report Sir! We've been spotted sir!"

China who was in the middle of the little line of bodies stuck to the ladder winced as he heard a voice he was really hoping not to have heard ever again.

"Ruin my story will ya you little worms!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe our little group may have a problem.

Suggestions?

Well, I'd say that we use a few explosives to get out of this situation, and explain it away by saying 'That's what happens to activists!'
Thus, the death by explosion will not be your fault. And you get to eliminate a bystander! What more could you want besides the bank? Which, of course, we will use our remaining explosives for.

Aww, Crymmy, you shouldn't have! Very Happy I've always wanted an excuse to chuck birdseed at people.

I say the Canary Commandos should make a dashingly heroic last stand and hold off the evil reporter Kalanna Rai with their pellety projectiles long enough for our dear leader China to get away safely.

Fabricati Diem, Pvnk!

Yes, sacrifice the brave, the noble, the..er..something else and flee for your lives. Preferably taking the dynamite with you. And anyone else who isn't being sacrificed.

Maybe you should offer the story of the ruin of Muaddib in exchange for my aid. Knowing my perverse sense of humor I'd go for that before I went for a little dirt ball like China.

Besides...never underestimate the power of the press! If they can ruin wars in real life and cause insurgency with poorly drawn cartoons, imagine what they can do with a couple sticks of dynamite and a sympathetic public...

It's something to think about...

Where is the dynimite anyway?

I think if it's near enough to the top of the ladder we could force Cry to back off by threating to blow up his booth. We can always throw it behind the desk and wait a few seconds for it to blow up before charging into the tent. Not very subtle and I think Cry would prefer to deal with us Laughing

Great chapter Crymy!

Two pronged action needed here I think.

The people above me swarm up the ladder and try and overwhelm er, you. There may be a couple of sledgehammer related injuries, but it will be worth it to save me.

People below. Stall the Rai. Try to win her over first, as suggested, and if that doesn't work, sell yourselves dearly until I have escaped.

*dusts hands* Yes, that should do it. Remember, your fearfull, I mean, fearless leader must survive! Very Happy

BTW: I have been thinking. What has happened to the Chinaren in this dimension? Confused

Never suggested hurting you...and China...you just should have finished the interview, made a few fables off of it, and saved yourself the trouble....of course if you had done that then I wouldn't be an alliance option now...

You never know when I'll come in useful...*opens can of peaches with her tail*

I agree for Kal's method on how to deal with... errr.... Kal?

But as for Crymmy, I wonder how bored he is, stuck in that booth with nobody to stamp in and out all day. I wonder whether he'd be interested in getting rid of the great Muddy, to get himself a better job. Senior Stamper, for exampl. Lord High Stamper. Executive Stamper, with his own ink-pot and two assistants to feed peeled grapes to him?

A bit of bribery never hurt anyone - especially Crymmy, I'm thinking Razz

I always deal with myself best...I'm the only one who can and yes...make the Crymmy reconsider his alliances. You can never have too many friends when toppling a manical dictator...
