As Julie picks the lock and starts her hotwiring attempt, Alyse took a hard grip and lifted the dazed Alex and shoved him into the car again for good measure. She manhandled...well...womanhandled the effeminate boy into a full nelson, immobilizing his arms. "Do you have a gun?" Alyse whispered as she brought her finger and jabbed Alex's back, pushing his pelvis forward as if she actually had a weapon. "Don't come any closer!" the girl shouted across the motor pool...to little avail. The boys seemed to think Alex as something less than worth protecting. At no small volume, words of, "He's a girl already!" or "Why'd they use Alex?"...that is until a loud shout of "WAIT!!" stopped the boys in their tracks. It was Carlin! Alex could read his nametag from where they were everything was so close, "He's still a boy!" he said, holding a hand up. Despite the boy's low rank, his charismatic voice seemed to have some effect on the boys that held their ears. "He'd do the same for us...we can do the same for him." the other boys regretfully agreed and pointed their rifles at the situation. Carlin was a tall, strong individual whose hair was styled so his longer hair hung slightly in front of his eyes and his emerald orbs pierced from behind them. Both parties knew he had a silver tongue that hadn't been tapped, his rank signified that at least
The car was a little more difficult to hotwire than Julie had figured but eventually Alyse had the passenger door open and had sat down, Alex on her lap to cover herself as much as possible. "So we have ourselves a hostage and maybe, JUST maybe you'll see him as he is right now later." she threatened...though in truth they could pump the boy with Femme X and he still might look pretty much like this. "Now do we have a problem?"
Carlin had a pained, conflicted expression in his eyes as he looked to Alex, his trigger finger prepped...but he might hit Alex. "I'll come find you." the boy promised as he nodded, "Boys, let's get the rest of us out of here...these girls have won already." he said with a wink, intent on saving the boy later.
The car revved to life and Julie could see they had plenty of backing up room, boys in the way or not.
Alyse nodded, "Good boys. Can't wait to see you at the next slumber party." she jeered as she grabbed Alex's head and pulled him into the car with a slam of the door, "Drive." she ordered even as several rubber bullets plinked off the car's metal, one cracking the passenger window!

The telling scream of girls fell unheard in the tank as the car ignited, sending shrapnel out and about. By now the entire unit had either been downed or scattered, all sense of order blown to pieces by superior firepower and from the viewscreen, it looked like the girls were retreating, fallen boys in tow as they hurried. If Isaac had thought about getting those boys back, the thought was interrupted as several whirring alarms warned of a proximity alert just before a massive explosion rocked the tanks right side, the starboard side gatling warped and shredded as an explosion wracked Isaac's precious machine...this had to be the 'toybreaker' he'd heard mentioned of on the radio waves.

"It's for the boys' sake...they need to be reminded of their new world, otherwise the Femme X mental changes take a longer time to effect." the doctor explained as she pulled a tongue depressor, "Say AHH." she said without waiting, pushing the plastic stick into Jaina's mouth, "So how long have you been on the hormones?"

"Medic!" one of the boy's shouted, a couple laughing at the irony despite the dire situation as Sean began to hyperventilate. The driver turned around, "Damnit boys! Calm him down! He's got to keep his blood pressure down, the faster it goes the faster it turns!" The explained and instantly Sean was slapped by one of the boys, a cold dose of reality in his denial, "Sean, everything's all right! Chill!" one said. Another shook the boy. Male comfort is a wonder to behold.

Weaver grimaced at the 'new' cadet, unable to shake that odd feeling in his gut, but as the boy left he looked back to his maps. Richard found himself back into the chaos, though it was dwindling as several people were gone. The armory was easy to find, but it had been completely empty save a couple rubber-shot pistols. In the storage, however, with enough searching The Crow found an abandoned document....something particularly secret looking, "Engineer's guild. Coordinates 42-3-723-31. Discussion of Cyber-motion." was all it said, but it spoke volumes to Richard in terms of money.

The guards looked slightly confused, though they couldn't question Damian's rank, "Y-yes...Miss." one said as she shouted. No security needed, the orders were shouted up, "What coordinates, Rose?" they asked. Damian could remember that Girl coordinates were worded differently than the Boy's numbers, cuddly animals, candy, and other such nouns hid where they were actually firing...but without the map, it was a risky business guessing coordinates.
It's not about how much dough you make -- it's about how delicious a pizza you eat at the end.
