DG sits at his Desk there are chairs enough for everyone. He is shifting threw papers and ignoring the group for the moment.
"Crix. Music. Off. Now"
Was all he said to clear the silence for a moment. The fixing his eye's patch he puts the papers away and looks up at them all with a smile full of teeth.
"I called you all here today because we have a problem. It seems the Government has taken an interest with the people of this House. Thats a bad thing"
He says seriously.

Crix frowned and turned his music off, a familiar voice comign back to him.
"I wonder if the government would want you dead too Crix...if they knew about ME and all ya know."
Crix ignored it for the time being and repied to DG.
"I'm pretty new here but...shouldn't we be getting ready to defend the place? I saw how Adam and Jaus trashed the soldiers in the Nursery but those guys are bound to send more people. And if it is the government...they will be serious. They know there are aliens and non-humans here, they wont come shorthanded."

Adam hissed at the prospect of more soldiers.
"For any of you that haven't noticed, an attempt was made on Jaus, our son, and myself. Should the government attack this Hive, we...I mean I, will do all I can to protect it."
He had a vague idea of who could be leading them...it was a long shot though.
"We are sorry if they only intended to kill me...we didn't want to bring this upon any of you."

"The Government huh?" Em leaned against the wall at the back of the room, arms crossed. "What will you have us do Sir? I'm positive that with the great minds here, varied technologies, and the skillful hands we can raise one hell of a defense that would make the military s**t themselves..." She pushed herself up from the wall and took a seat near the front. "But, the main problem we face is time..."

Adam spoke up again.
"We think we heard a specific name...one of the soldiers said it when they thought we were unconscious. If it is him...then we don't have long. He is hellbent on the destruction of non-humans, and we've seen his methods often enough in the past to know he will bring his full force to bear on this house." Adam held back spitting acid at the very name. "Captain Clausel. We've been hunted by him before. One of the soldiers was able to radio out to their HQ, so we estimate a few days before they storm us. He prefers to destroy targets with overwhelming force."

"Sounds like Req and her friends will have a blast... Personally, I don't think we should have the fight here... To much to defend, to great a chance for them to blow the place up and take us all with it... and to close to town... Perhaps if we could find a place that would be difficult for them to get to... and easy enough for us to defend... I do recall seeing an old abandoned place to the south east of here... bout half way between Durem and Barton... It's up on a mountian, one road that crosses a trench. If we destroy the bridge they'd have to climb up the rock face to get at us.... And also there is a second bridge close to the house, the place is on it's own little flat outcrop..." MapEm paused as she stared at the map. She felt slightly embarrassed going off like that. "Don't mind me... it's just a suggestion..."

"Hell I like it, anythings better than just sitting here. If the bugs right, why would they even hesitate to just blast the house?"
"Thats not brutal at all! THE BASTARDS!"
"So yeah...I vote for that. Course Im not the strategic type"
"...Obviously..."
"So somebody just tell me where I should be and how many necks to snap and I'll be good."
He chewed on another piece of dark chocolate and the voice spoke up again.
"Well if things get to messy out there for you, you can always count on ME Crix! What fun it will be! Oh the thrashing and the bones breaking, and all those arteries getting ripped to shreds..."
Crix felt his right eye acting up but kept his composure this time. Ignoring the voice was a lot easier when he was worried about getting nuked.

Adams keen eyesight allowed him to see the map from where he was seated, and he liked the idea.
"We must agree with Em, its easily defendable, and we don't believe Clausel will suspect it. Most of his targets dig in, and in this case that could be digging our own grave...or something. Damn human phrases." He clicked. "But we would easily be able to defend the rock face. We have explosions and ranged weapons in this house yes? And w...I am able to infiltrate the enemy forces as they advance, so we should have a decent chance." He paused thinking. "And we must admit, we have wanted a re-match with the good captain for a long time. He probably still bears the scars of the fight with us." Adams claws opened and closed as he remembered the day.

"I fully agree with the idea that this place is hard to defend, but i kinda go back to the thought that this is home, Of course the house on the hill would be easier, but for those of us who have been here for a while, this is home, if the thought ends up that we leave so be it, but if they bomb this house thinking that they are here what about those in the house who aren't particuarly fighters, the maid, the doc, you know they aren't really prepped for battle." Looking around the room she sees some faces that wouldn't do well in a fight, and others that she wasn't sure could be trusted.
"Why don't we think about using the resourses we have, there have to be some of us with government background,they have to stick to a certain protocol while we being from all different places, only have in common the loyalty we have developed from spending time together."
She shrugs "it is just a thought."

Jaus listened in to all of this, sighing a bit as she nodded her head. "Those guys before weren't joking around ..I think I still have a muzzle stamp on my back from where that guy pressed his gun in. ..They aren't going to stop until one of our groups is dead, and, i don't know about you guys, but i would prefer if ours isn't the one pushing up daises by the time that this is all over... Since we got Crix and that new girl, Suika, it might buy us a bit more of a defense ...She animates bodies of those she sings to, right? So, that should make a pretty good disturbance if we have her turn their soldiers on them...If it works, then we have less people to deal with and more of an advantage towards out side. "

Suika blinked in shock at the fact that some one had mentioned her name, stepping forwards a bit from her place at the back of the room to speak. She pushed a few of the bangs away from her face.
"I wouldn't mind trying it. If it is for the good of the family here, i will certainly give it all that i have... "
She paused before turning her head to look at Em.
"Miss Em...Not to be rude, but ...This place is easy enough for me to defend ..It just needs a barrier."
She held out her hand, opening her mouth as she did so. A high pitched note came out and a soft, mirage like shadow appeared over her hand. When she tried to push her finger through, it snapped and crackled like it was electrified before she finally let it die.
"It will take some time and concentration, but i could make one that goes around the house. It will let our people in and out by a gene recognition, which i will need a bit of blood from everyone for that, and it will keep the others out and in our target range. "

Lace walks in "You asked for me Papa?" she looked around, her eyes narrowing slightly. Then going back to looking at her father. She got a brief recap of what was being talked about and tilted her head "I could shield a new place." she said "if there is a basement or ground area I can set up spells. Shields, but whatever hits the shield will only be thrown off into the area, which if it's just woods and hills, wouldn't be bad.. I don't think Papa would want the trouble of missiles hitting the neighbor's houses"

wahmbulance mad
"Speak for yourself Cat..." she glared at Desi. "I don't believe there is any... THING in this place that can't fight, even the bug spawn... Whether it's here or elsewhere, I'll make those government guys think twice before coming in and wrecking my house..." One would almost think Jade would start a fire with how her eyes were burning mad.

*gives Desi a cute pouty frown*
Desi, I'm a doctor, would you wanna go up against someone who has a lot of syringes and not know what's in them? This is percicely why I keep a locked box of the deadly stuff.
*Adjusts position in the chair and crosses legs*
But I must agree in moving this fight elsewhere. That mountain top mansion would give me a chance to set up some chemical defenses. Here in the City I'd be risking a lot of people to the winds...
We're not abandoning our home... merely protecting it.

Laurus comes in with a book and glasses perched on his nose. "Eh, sorry I haven't been around, been going over some finance numbers" He takes a perch nearby and keeps one ear on the conversations in case anything comes up he can offer something to.
