While waiting, Whatt unzips one of the pockets of his jumpsuit and takes out a can of B3. He passes it along to Chuckles and pulls one out for himself, as well. "Only stipulation is no throwing it in the air, please." He offers one to Liam, as well.
Liam takes the offered B3 and puts it in his pocket.
Takes one as well.
"Thank you citizen, Normally, I drink Crystal B3, but sometimes when I have the "pleasure" of dealing with troubleshooters, I go ahead and drink B3 Extra Classic. More power to the workers of Alpha Complex."
Smiles and looks into the camera of the film crew that you hadn't even noticed arrive, strange one is even a BLUE Citizen and he's drinking the B2-B3 the Berry Blue Bouncy Bubble Beverage...
"Sir!" Whatt snaps to attention "It is a pleasure to attend to your refreshment requirements, Citizen, Sir! We have procured our trial equipment and the material we were alloted credits for, Sir, and are ready to proceed on to rescue our remaining Troubleshooting teammate, then off to wipe out that nasty Commie cell. At least we would, but our Team Leader seems to have vapor locked." He casts a reproachful glance at Sam. "I have, in keeping with my duties, taken what I feel to be exemplary notes regarding team loyalty performance."
Chuckles gives Whatt a pat on the back and throws his arm around him, while cracking open the B3 with his teeth. "Relaaaax Whatty boy. These fellas aren't here to rain on our happy parade. Are ya, fellas?" Chuckles holds his can high in the air and toasts, "To the ::snicker:: omnipotent computer, who provides us with this fine elixir that gives us the cheer to grin from ear to ear!" Chuckles clinks his can with all the others, guzzles a huge gulp, and lets out a huge, shameless belch right in Sam's face. "Come on, Sam! Aren't you going to join in with the impromptu festivities?" Chuckles bursts into a contagious bout of laughter for no apparent reason.
GM only:
James-U-SSR looks at Sam-R-SPD, then he looks to his guards, and nods at Sam...the 2 guards grab the absent-minded Team Leader, and start draggin him off, as they round the corner you hear a blood curdling screech, and then the sounds of truncheons impacting flesh.
"Whatt-R-BTL, you are now Team Leader. Get YOUR team to the next mission point."
Liam stops recording the Ultraviolet citizen long enough to get a good shot of Sam getting dragged away. He then focuses in on Whatt's face. "And thus, the mantle of Team Leader has been passed, and the hunt shall continue."

Whatt's posture of eager leaning forward sways precariously for a moment as he absorbs the Ultraviolet's words.
"Keh..." he starts lamely. Then closes his mouth and licks his lips.
"Fu-heh...?" he inquires as his eyelids flutter.
Suddenly, it is as if a lightening bolt has struck the man and he swells into a rigid salute to James. "Sir, thank you, Sir! It is my delight to serve Our Friend, The Computer in all matters, Sir. I accept willingly, Sir. Are there any expanded instructions or directions about where our Troubleshooting Teammate we need to rescue might be being held, Sir? "
Whatt maintains the pose of attention as he awaits any further word.
Chuckles can't contain his laughter at the absurdity of seeing his team leader being dragged off into the distance.
First, Chuckles points and laughs right at Sam's vacant face.
Then he turns to his new team leader, continuing to point and laugh.
Finally, he points right into the eye of Liam's camera and completely loses it. He almost trips and falls right into Liam from his uncontrollable laughter.
"You're team leader, figure it out..."
"oh and by the way, you're already late"
"Yes, Team Leader, where are the Commies? After all, they aren't going to stab themselves you know."
"Come on, Whatt. Let's get a move on! Those commies are cruisin' for a bruisin'. They're hankerin' for a spankerin'. They're bleatin' for a beatin'...I'm running out of patience and rhymes!" Chuckles pauses to pop a happiness pill, closes his eyes calmly, and appears to drift away into deep thought. Then his eyes pop open and bug out, then he announces, "I'll race you guys! Who's up for another RACE?!!?" He begins to warm up by running in place, shuffling his feet at alarming speed.
Whatt nods and gives a quick salute to James. "Yes, sir! Okay, team, since we have all our gear, let us head out to the elevator and get started on our mission. For the Glory of The Computer!" He makes sure that Liam has his camera on him as he smiles and makes the four pointed symbol on his chest. He pulls his PDL out of his pocket and holds it up with a delerious smile. "I think this would be the best way to proceed..." Whatt starts pressing buttons.

As he pinks away, he speaks to Liam's camera "The Computer giveth us the tools to do that which is Proper in His Sight!"

Whatt purses his lips and nods as he looks at the screen of his PDL. After a moment, he types in a search on the best routes to the location. On finding one, he looks up at the camera and gives a beautiful smile.
"Alright, this is an excellent day that The Computer hath given us to destroy the Commie menace! We have our instructions, we have our route, we have our exiting equipment to field test, and most importantly, we have The Computer's Blessings in our undertaking. Hate the Commies! Hate the Mutants! Hate the Commie Mutants! The Computer is The Way! Blessed be in The Computer's Bytes!"
He makes his four pointed symbol again, then beaming to the camera, pulls a pamphlet out, licks the back, and sticks it onto the wall. He walks purposfully down the hall about ten paces then suddently stops. He fishes out his notebook, jots down some notes, returns the notebook and proceeds.

His notes commend himself for being a loyal subject of The Computer and to commend Liam for paying good attention to his duties.
Whatt sets off at a furious pace...It's as if the Computer itself is looking over his shoulder, his stride is purposeful and his demeanor is computery than thou! Such Zaelotry you've never seen before!
"Alright, finally we're on the move!"
Chuckles begins to jog hysterically towards the elevator, but makes a point to show off his brand new brass knuckles for the camera with a mischievous grin on his face. Then shouts behind, "Come on Liam, pick those feet up. I bet I can get there fiiiirst!"

"Oh, we shall see Chuckles. We shall see." Feeling only a pang of vague recollection, Liam runs after Chuckles.

Liam continues to run after Chuckles, his new blade still in his hands and a wide grin on his face.
GM:
Whatt continutes on without looking back until he reaches the elevator. He pushes the button in the appropriate direction and looks back to see if Chuckles and Liam are behind him. He smiles for Liams camera and waves frenetically.
"We'll be there soon, fellows!" he says with a wink to the lens, "Let's make sure we know what our assets are... I have a few laser barrels and the hand flamer. What have you got, Chuckles?"

"I've....got..." ::uproarious laughter::
Chuckles shoves his fist dangerously close to Whatt's face to show off his brass knuckles."And let's not forget about the experimental !" Where did Chuckles just whip that thing out from?
"Oh, and of course there's my laser pistol."
"How about you, Liam?" Chuckles talks directly into the camera lens. "What have you got? Where's the precious....flazer?" ::cackle::
Liam keeps the camera trained on Chuckles while lifting his weapons into view of the camera. "Well, obviously I have this knife. Like all Troubleshooters, I have a laser pistol. Ah, yes, I have also been given the honor of testing out the Flazer. Now, which pocket was that in..."

Whatt beams at the news as he reads his PDC. "Excellent news, fellows! We will soon be receiving another member to replace that contemptable Sam-R-SPD-1, long my his traitorous bones hang and rot for The Computer's pleasure. The replacement should be here just momentarily."
You see a brown haired man come jogging down the hall from the direction of the PLC that you guys just came from with a slightly goofy grin on his face.
"Ah my fellow red citizens, you wouldn't happen to be the trouble shooting team that I am supposed to be joining would you? Feels like it took me two days to get here. I swear the waits at PLC just keep getting longer and longer. I am Whoo-R-YOU-1 a pleasure to meet all of you."

Liam focuses his camera on the approaching person. "A fellow citizen approaches the troubleshooters? Is it a coincidence, or is he the new recruit, ready for the slaughter of commies? Only time will tell."
As the man begins to speak, Liam continues to narrate. "The citizen introduces himself to the troubleshooters as one of their own. Is he telling the truth, or is it a clever ruse to infiltrate their ranks? Only Friend Computer could know for certain."
The hallway is completely silent for a moment after Whoo-R-You-1 arrives. Showtime!
