Chapter 11: Just A Bunch Of Crazy Drones & Clones

[Trackman281]

JUST A BUNCH OF CRAZY CLONES AND DRONES

Once the dropship had landed and Tina received her twenty four hour rest period speech, which she loved oh so much. Tina returned to her room and loaded up some teaching websites on her laptop, she got comfy and leaned back, she was going to attempt to learn some basic Japanese sentences as she thought it was only fair for next time she saw Yuma and Masako. Tina’s twenty four rest period came and went by but surprisingly her email notification didn’t go of, for now she wasn’t needed. Later on throughout the day while Tina was at the canteen she overheard a few clone troopers talking about a med ship bringing in a squad of deceased clone troopers that were taken immediately to the furnaces, Tina leaned in closer and discovered that Soph was a member of that squad but her body was never found and she listed as MIA. Fearing the worse Tina returned to her room and loaded up an after action report of the assignment Soph and her squad were on. She discovered that they were sent to South America on an expedition annihilate a drug lord, but shortly after landing the comms went dark and the whole squad including Soph disappeared, another squad was sent in a couple of later and that’s when they found the bodies, however all reports after that had been redacted. Tina couldn’t exam the other troopers in her squad and they had already been disposed of, so Tina got to work and loaded up as many drone camera feeds as she could, she was determined to discover her whereabouts.

Four days and four nights had passed. Tina was exhausted, she had spent so much of her time just staring at drone camera screens, satellite footage as well as CCTV footage. Every minute Tina couldn’t locate Soph was torment as this means that if Soph was in danger then every minute lost just meant the window for finding her was getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly her door room opened and Marie walked in with a plate of biscuits and a large mug of coffee.

“Here, biscuits to replenish your sugar levels and coffee because you look like you could definitely use some.” Marie smiled putting the tray down.

“Thanks Marie you’re the best.” Tina said while rubbing her eyes in tiredness. Tina and CI-2224 had now moved beyond calling each other by their clone designation numbers and were now calling each other by their desired names, only in secret of course, but it was there way of giving the non-clone suits upstairs the middle finger in defiance.

“So stupid question, but have you had any luck or anything?” Marie asked.

“No, nothing, I’ve even loaded up the files on my enemies and tried to do a process of elimination but haven’t found any connections.” Tina said while taking a big gulp of her coffee and shoving an entire biscuit in her mouth.
“In what way?” Marie asked.

“Well. At first I thought Seraphim, but after my encounter with her she was deemed mentally insane and has been placed in a mental asylum.” Tina clicked out of Seraphim’s file.

“Then I thought Glitch, but there would be absolutely no reason at all to suspect her, Glitch is to egotistical and I can’t help but feel that if she had done this, then they’re would been a massive and unnecessarily boastful video of how she thought it all out. So I;m ruling her out.” Tina clicked out of Glitch’s file.

“So then I thought about Kuebiko, but kidnapping doesn’t seem her like usual MO, plus nobody knows if Kuebiko is dead or alive and there’s been zero evidence support any of this ever since, plus I’m certain she would of left some kind of cryptic warning to lure me out, so I’m ruling out Kuebiko.” Tina clicked out of Kuebiko’s file remaining completely oblivious to the fact that it was Kuebiko who was responsible for this.

“Naturally of course it couldn’t be Ricochet as the mission’s timeline places Soph on her mission while I was still doing battle with Ricochet on top of the theater so that automatically rules her out.” Tina clicked off of Ricochet’s file.

“That just leaves Theron. So Theron started to have her suspicions about me being a clone or something like that when I last fought against her, at the end of my assignment, it turns out Theron had managed to slip away and while the rest of you guys were dealing with the aftermath and eliminating the rest of the members of their little secret society, Theron managed to remain hidden which means, she could of pieced it all together and it started to exact her revenge OOOOORRRRRRR.........I’m over thinking this and it could of been just the drug cartel they were hunting or something.” Tina said loading up Theron’s profile.

“Well I think you can rule Glitch out of your investigation because a video has just appeared online.” Marie said looking at her own work pad.

“Oh......Please don’t tell me she actually has managed to break out of prison.” Tina responded with an annoyed tone.

“No, no, no complete opposite, look here’s Glitch in the court room, being overbearing.” Marie showed Tina a video of Glitch standing in the middle of the courtroom, trying to plead her case, but ultimately making it a lot worse for herself in the process.

“Idiots and idiots of the jury, with me being your intellectual superior, surely you see the logical in letting me go as without me your worlds will forever remain dumb and docile unless you let me educate you on how to be an intelligent or well as nearly as intelligent as me and who knows maybe after many years of accepting me as your teacher, I may one day call upon you to help me find my socks in the morning..........WHAT what do you mean I’ve been found guilty, you can’t throw me in jail with all those other mindless delinquents. Locked in there, surrounded by all those inferior minds, I can already almost feel them sucking the intelligence out of me...........You’ll all regret this all of you, oh please don’t proselytize me, I have no need for this superstitious nonsense you peddle!........AAHHH unhand me you authoritarian attack dog! Oh a taser? You think a taser frightens me!? I AM GLITCH you will now AARGHGHGHGHGHGHGH............” The video then ends with Glitch getting tasered and carted out of the court room.

“HAHAHA, aahh come on Tina, you got to admit watching her get zapped has to put a smile on your face!” Marie said laughing at the video.

“Okay yeah that was kinda funny, god that mouth of her’s, I can’t believe she genuinely thinks she’s better than everyone.” Tina said with a big smile across her face.

“So what’s actually wrong with her?” Marie asked.

“Who Glitch? Well she has intense narcissism, a larger than life ego, she clearly suffers from an inferiority complex which likened with hubris. In other words.............Mental.” Tina said summing up Glitch.

Then Tina received a notification, she was to report to her commander immediately as her next assignment was ready.

“Aaahhh not now, not now, *sigh*, Marie can you please keep an eye on things while I’m gone unless you get called out for a mission too and PLEASE, can you let me know if you find anything that may lead to Theron’s whereabouts because if it is her, then I’ll need to stop her.” Tina asked.

“Yeah of course Tina, you can count on me.” Marie replied looking at Tina’s laptop screen.

With that Tina grabbed one of her cat suits and grabbed two of her hip pouches, one was a modified pouch to successfully hold several needles of her own knock out serum and the second pouch was also a dispenser which was suited to hold many layers of her own industrial thick tape. Tina then shoved another biscuit in her mouth before downing her coffee and left Marie with her laptop while she went to her commander’s office. Once she arrived she quickly checked the clock hung above the commander’s door, she was pleased with herself as she was actually on time. She then entered the office and CO-1010 was waiting patiently.

“Take a seat CI-1138 so we can begin.” CO-1010 ordered.

“Oh hey thanks for being on time, aahh you know don’t mention it.” Tina sarcastically thought to herself, while taking her seat.

“Right then. This one isn’t exactly a run of the mill operation, allow to elaborate further. This is a privately owned island called Sgail and it is situation somewhere in the North Atlantic Ocean, on this island is a refurbished fortress surrounded by lush gardens and woodlands, the group that owns this island are known as the *Ark Society*, this society are a so-called survivalist group for the global elite and billionaires preparing for the downfall of civilization, it’s members are willing to pay huge sums of money to ensure their own survival, while the ark society includes many providence affiliates and is even used as a recruiting venue for future members, not everyone in the ark society is necessarily aware that the providence exists. The society is lead by these two twin sisters, Zoe and Sophia Washington.” CO-1010 explained.

Tina looked at the picture that were presented to her, the fortress was your standard cookie cut castle style fortress, so Tina was extremely familiar with these sorts of layouts. She then looked at pictures of the Washington sisters. Both women had black skin, were in their late twenties and had brown eyes. Zoe had short black hair with circular sunglasses, she wore a baggy white robe which would normally cover the whole of her body, it covered all of her torso and arms but the skirt portion had been modified with a giant slight which showed pretty much all of bare legs whenever she sat down, she was wearing golden bracers and was wearing bright white knee high boots, she was wearing numerous pieces of gold jewellery on her face including long hooped earrings and a gold necklace. Sofia on the other hand had medium length black hair and she was wearing a purple business suit with black loafers, instead of gold she was wearing silver earrings and she wore black leather gloves.

“Okay, so what’s the assignment?” Tina asked after looking up from the photos.

“It’s a robin hood style mission, steal from the rich and give to the poor, although in this case the poor will actually be the non-clones who sit upstairs. There’s going to be a siege, but first we need to know what’s exactly in there, so your job will be to infiltrate the island, take photos of all the accumulated wealth and fortunes and if you can grab a few photos of the sisters themselves, then get out of the fortress, once you’re out radio it in and a siege made up of the 200th siege battalion or the *sun gazers* if you’d prefer will commence, the leader of this assault will be none other than CI-1262.” CO-1010 explained.

“Of course it is. But hey count me out of the siege, once I’ve done my part I’m clearing the area as I really don’t want to see what happens afterwards.” Tina said laying down her rules.

“As you wish, do you need time to prefer?” CO-1010 asked.

“No, I’m actually to move out right away please inform a pilot.” Tina responded.

“Very well.” CO-1010 said again without even a good luck or anything.

Tina just pulled a face got, up and left her commander’s office. Tina proceeded down to the hanger where she found the dropship waiting for her and moments later they were in the air. A few hours passed and by the time they were close to the island the sky had turned fully black with only the moon acting as a source of light. The dropship got as close to the island as it could and remained as close the water as it could before stopping a couple of miles off from the island.

“I can’t get you any further without being noticed as it seems all of the guests are arriving via boats.” The pilot explained.

“No problem, I’ll just swim there, I’ll radio in when I’m ready.” Tina replied while grabbing a thankfully waterproof earpiece.

She jumped out of the dropship and into the water before swimming to the shores of the island, once she was on the island she made her way up the beach and onto the rocks that followed. It didn’t take her long before the fortress came into view, it seems as if this was an invitation only event as all the guests getting off of the boats were dressed in fine long dresses, they were covered in jewellery but the thing which stood out the most was that everyone was wearing white masquerade masks. Tina knew that she’d have to acquire one of the guests clothing and masks if she wishes to enter the fortress undetected and the sooner the better as the sea water mixed in the night air was starting to make Tina feel very cold. Tina made her way down behind a load of bushes and much to her delight a lone female guests was making her way pass the bushes on her own.

The standard guests were known as simply Ark patrons. The woman who Tina was about to replace was a 35 year old woman by the name of Maxine. She had a slim body, white skin and long dark brown hair tied back in a bun. She was wearing a jet black dress with straps, the dress went down to Maxine’s knee caps, she had long white gloves which went all the way to her upper arms, she had a grey faux fur scarf wrapped around her neck, she had her standard white masquerade mask with a black top hat on. She was also wearing black high heels and she was wearing a very expensive looking Rolex watch.

Tina waited until she got close then, then using both her hands she quickly grabbed Maxine by her arm and viciously yanked her into the bushes, Maxine didn’t even have time shout as she was still both surprised and shocked about what was happening to her, thankfully Tina didn’t give her time to react as she quickly stuck one of her needles into Maxine’s neck and emptied all the contents into her, a few seconds later Maxine’s eyes fell tired and she gently fell asleep. It didn’t take long for Tina to strip Maxine of her clothes revealing she was wearing a set of soot black panties and a fossil black bra. Tina quickly realized that it had been a while since she had a haircut so her hair was starting to be really long, so for once she helped herself to Maxine’s hair band letting her long dark brown hair cores down over the floor and parts of her body. Tina quickly got changed into Maxine’s dress, shoes, faux fur scarf and her Rolex watch she tied her hair back and placed the hair band over it and placed the white masquerade mask over her face, she had been given a small camera which Tina was keeping tucked into one of her holsters, now thankfully because the dress stretched down to Tina’s knee caps she was able to keep her holsters tucked up underneath the dress and no one would notice. Next Tina bound up and gagged Maxine nice and tight before leaving her to spend the night tucked up behind a load of bushes in her undies. Tina knew it wasn’t just her that was feeling the cold as she noticed Maxine’s nipples were now erect and were poking through her bra. Believe it or not but Tina naturally didn’t want to leave her like this in the freezing cold to catch a cold, but there just wasn’t anything she could do, so she whispered a very long apology in Maxine’s before leaving and hoping for the best.

Tina then re-appeared from behind the bushes, now fully dressed in all of Maxine’s clothes and other accessories before she made her way in between the crowd of the next boat load of guests that had just arrived. It was time to blend in and get into the fortress. Tina blended in with everyone else perfectly and the guards didn’t suspect a thing, once Tina was inside she couldn’t believe it. The castle fortress had retained its old look on the outside but on the inside it was filled with all the luxuries of a five star resort. Crisp marbel flooring flooded the ground, bright but subtle neon lights were spread across the ceiling, numerous bars were scattered around surrounded by glass tables and leather chairs, this is where most of the guests seemed to hang out, they were five class dining experiences with all the finest table decoration and countless men and women ark event staff were standing by ready to cater to the guests every need. Tina knew that her disguise would only get her so far so she needed a bit of an upgrade and one of those Ark event staff uniforms would be just fine. Tina knew she’d had to isolate one of them so the other wouldn’t see, then a cunning plan ran through her mind. Tina went into the female toilets and did a quick check to make sure she was the only one in there. Thankfully it seemed she was. She then grabbed as many toilet rolls as she could and shoved down one of the toilets before flushing it several times causing the toilet to block and thus gallons of water were starting to overflow out and flood the bathroom floor. With that Tina went back out and looked for a woman who about her size.

Tina found a woman that looked roughly her size, a young 23 year old woman by the name of Bethany, who had white skin, copper shimmer blonde hair braided back behind her head and dark brown eyes. She was wearing the basic Ark event uniform which consisted of black trousers, white long sleeve button shirt, a black apron tied around her waist, black bow tie tucked underneath her collar, black jelly shoes and she wore a coconut white masquerade mask.

“Excuse me, but it seems one of the toilets is overflowing, would you mind following me so I can show you?” Tina asked Bethany.

“Ye of course Madame, please lead the way.” Bethany responded unaware that she has just sealed her fate.

Tina led Bethany into the bathroom and closed the door behind her before showing Bethany the flooded area. Bethany went into the toilet stall and bent down to take a closer look at it.

“I don’t get it; it seems someone has intentionally stuffed a load of. Ooooffff.” Bethany was suddenly interrupted by Tina who had grabbed the back of Bethany’s head and quickly slammed her head down onto the toilet seat as hard as she could. Bethany’s forehead hit the toilet seat with quite some force and fell unconscious, Tina quickly grabbed her and slung Bethany’s unconscious body over her shoulder so she didn’t land in the water and get her uniform wet. Tina then carried Bethany over to the stall at the end of the bathroom and laid her down against the wall, she then went back into the flooded cubicle and switched it off at the mains behind the basin, so the flooding would stop, she then went back into the cubicle that Bethany was in and locked the toilet door.

Tina undone and whipped off Bethany’s apron, before slipping off her jelly shoes, she then unzipped and pulled of Bethany’s trousers and removed her bow tie. Following this she removed Bethany’s mask and unbuttoned her shirt and slipped it off of her body. This is where we see that Bethany is wearing an egg shell white bra and a pair of mint green panties. Tina then quickly injected Bethany already unconscious body with one of her needles as she needed to make sure that Bethany wouldn’t wake up for a few more hours. After this Tina lifted Bethany up and sat her on the toilet, she then pulled out a load of tape from her thigh holster and taped up Bethany entire body to the toilet itself before using a couple of pieces to gag her too. With Bethany now out of the way, Tina proceeded to strip out of her dress and got changed into Bethany’s clothes.

“Here this is just a little something to say sorry for doing this, go treat yourself to something nice.” Tina said after she took off the Rolex watch she *borrowed* earlier and slipped it in Bethany’s bra as a way of saying sorry for roughing her up and potentially getting her fired.

Tina then smashed the lock on the toilet door so it would remain locked unless forced open with a crowbar and she jumped over the top of the cubicle and over to the other side. Tina sorted out the bow tie in the mirror as well adjusted the sleeves on her shirt made sure she was presentable. With her new disguise in place, it was time to get back to the event. Tina tried to make herself look busy so she grabbed a tray full of various drinks and circulated around the room, every now and then a guest would help themselves to one of the drinks on the tray or place an empty glass back onto the tray. Once her tray was empty of full drinks and only had empty glasses on, she returned back to the bar and passed them on to the bartender. It’s here that several Ark members have now appeared from a hallway and are being flanked by several guards carrying various weapons from sub machine guns to shotguns, these ark members that sat down in a private booth and started to converse with each other.

Tina watched as several Ark patron guests attempted to get close only for the armed guards to quickly ward them away and it seems that even the Ark event staff themselves can only get so close as once again their armed escort only let them get within a certain distance from the table. Tina watched on as these ark members then received their first round of drinks and ask for another round of the same thing, when the event staff personnel gathered another round Tina quickly blocked her.

“Hey why don’t I take this round for you, those armed guards seemed like they shook you up a little.” Tina said.

“Yeah, they do look very intimidating don’t they, well okay thank you.” The Ark event staff member said passing the tray over to Tina.

It seems as if these Ark members were going to be here a while so Tina needed to remove one from the group without any suspicion, so Tina pulled out one her needles and injected her knockout serum into one of the darkest drink, which happened to be the whisky on the rocks. She didn’t know if this would have any effect at all, but she thought she might as well give it a try. As she approached the table with the tray of drinks in hand, the armed guards raised their hands, they were both male and wore white masks, purple uniform trousers and jackets along with black berets, white gloves and standard combat boots, with ammo belts around their waists.

“Okay that’s far enough.” One of them said.

“Of course, but what about their drinks?” Tina said offering the tray.

“Frank, grab that will ya.” The same guard responded after which the second guard took the tray of drinks from Tina and passed them around the ark members.

“Go on then, get lost, we’ll call you if they want more!” The first guard shouted.

“Right you are, thank you.” Tina bowed her head and walked away. “God if you only knew what was coming, you silly rent a cops.” Tina thought to herself annoyed that she couldn’t blow her cover and punch them in the face.

Tina found a corner to stand in, not so out of the way where she couldn’t be noticed but it was just out of the way enough that Ark patron / guests won’t bother her as there are other event staff members closer to them. All Tina could do now was play the waiting game. It actually took a lot longer than Tina originally thought but eventually she noticed one of the ark members, was starting to show signs of feeling light headed and not lot afterwards she got up to leave the table.
“Is everything alright Madame?” One of the guards asked.

“Yes, yes, I just need some fresh air, I’ll be back in a bit and NO I don’t require an escort, I’m just going to the balcony.” The Ark member replied.

Tina smiled and proceeded to stalk her prey. The woman she was following was a 35 years old, she had white skin, long ginger hair tied up in a Celtic knot, she was wearing a barn red coloured dress which flowed down to her thighs, she wore a long desire pink robes top with raspberry pink trimming down the edges, she had crimson elbow length gloves on which nestled under her robe top, she had pure black T-strap shoes on and she was wearing a red masquerade mask with golden glitter which had been sprinkled over it. Her name was Tasmin.

Tina followed her outside onto a balcony, good thing she did too, because as soon as they got outside, Tasmin immediately held her head with one hand and started to fall very limp, Tina quickly reached out and grabbed her, preventing Tasmin from falling flat on her face.

“Hey, wh-wha, get you-your hands off me.....” Tasmin stuttered still somewhat aware of her surroundings.

“Oh haha, don’t she’s just had a little too much to drink, please go back inside and I’ll look after her.” Tina said to a couple of ark patrons were outside taking in the night air. The patrons just nodded and giggled thinking that an ark member had allowed herself to get so drunk this early in the evening. With that Tina turned her attention back to Tasmin.

“Phew, right you, you stay put here and let the serum get to know you, I’m going to quickly shut the door and give us some privacy.” Tina said after gently laying Tasmin down on the floor.

Tina closed the balcony doors and went to check on Tasmin, thankfully it seemed that at last the serum had worked and Tasmin was fast asleep. Tina couldn’t help but smile to herself, she was actually surprised it worked, now fair enough it took a lot longer to knock someone out, but Tina guessed it just needed more time for the body to properly intake the serum as to when Tina just injects it into her targets. Tina then stripped Tasmin down to her bra and panties and it’s here we see Tasmin is wearing a matching pair of Mahogany red bra and panties which had the ark society symbol on them.

“Oh wow, erm okay right this changes things doesn’t it, right I’m so sorry I have to do this, but I’m going to take your underwear as well, just in case.” Tina said to Tasmin’s unconscious body.

“Oopps, that almost went.” Tina said after grabbing a small camera she was concealing in her own bra.

So alongside Tasmin’s outfit Tina stripped her of both her bra and panties as well, leaving Tasmin naked for all to see. Tina quickly grabbed some tape from her holster and both tied up and gagged Tasmin before realizing that there wasn’t any places to hide her, Tina looked around frantically until she noticed that the balcony was only on the first floor and directly under the balcony was a load of very thick foliage.

“Wow, seriously, tonight just isn’t your night is it?” Tina said to Tasmin knowing full well what came next. Tina scooped up Tasmin’s naked body in her arms and as gently as she could, she dropped Tasmin over the balcony and heard land in all the thick foliage below. Tina heard some muffled groans coming from below, so while yes Tasmin would be extremely confused when she woke and possibly a little bit sore, at least she was alive.

Tina then stripped out of her old disguise and put on Tasmin’s clothes and mask, she then chucked her old clothes over the balcony too, just to hide any evidence before opening the doors again and heading back inside. Once back inside Tina automatically noticed a sudden and huge increase in responses, suddenly all the event staff were suddenly offering her any drinks or assistance and all the other patrons were moving out of her way.

“Aaahh, the little privileges money can buy.” Tina jokingly thought to herself.

Tina didn’t rejoin the ark members drinking but instead she made her way up onto the upper levels and the more private areas which were only accessible to ark members. Every hallway she went down or any room she went into was just filled with armed guards or other ark members, both male and female gossiping, Tina tried her hardest to overhear as many conversations as she could as with any luck, one of them might accidentally let it slip as to where the vault is, then Tina could snap up some photos. But unfortunately it seemed as if this is where Tina’s luck ran out as not a single one of them spoke about the vault itself, instead they all just spoke their own vast amount of fortunes or all their other accounts that had off shore somewhere, needless to say it was making Tina feel as sick as a dog. This would last for roughly another twenty minutes though before finally she accidentally overheard a couple of guard talking by a doorway.

“One of the garden areas has been cleared up top, apart from a few armed personal, Zoe and Sophia want to want some privacy for a little while.” One of them said.

“Hhhmm, must be to discuss tonight’s haulage and maybe discuss the new initiates, is anyone else allowed up there do you know?” A second guard asked.

“Yeah, just one of the musicians, you know how the sisters aren’t exactly fond of quiet areas, so they’ve asked for a little background noise.” The original guard replied.

“Fair enough, so which one is it?” The second guard followed up with.

“You know, the usual one, second one from the top of the staircase.” The first guard snapped back.

That was all Tina needed to hear, if she could get up there and listen in, she might be able to get the information she seeks, but of course getting up there would naturally be a challenge. But what’s a mission without a little fun eh? Tina found a room without any one inside, she made her to the window and opened it up wide, she realized that with a bit of balance she could shimmy herself across the ledge and climb up to the garden area above. Tina took of her shoes and climbed out onto the window ledge. She hugged the wall as best she could and shimmied her way across. Tina used the statues as a form of marker and pinpointed exactly where the second garden area would be, once Tina was at the location she needed to be, she grabbed the nearest ledge and proceeded to scale up the side of the fortress, Tina didn’t want to look back or down as she thought that the less she knew about the drop below her the better. Once she was at the top, she threw herself over the guard rail and rolled into some bushes. Tina quickly she was in the right place as there were a few guards scattered around the garden area, she was wondering how she could get closer without being noticed, especially since all the guards were male so it would be impossible for Tina to gain a new disguise. Although it seems Tina’s problem was about to be solved and she noticed a woman sitting on a chair with a cello, although what Tina couldn’t work out was. Why was the musician blindfolded? Tina got in close and stuck out her knuckles so it would feel like a gun on the musicians back.

The musician was a 29 year old woman with tanned skin. She had long hazel brown hair which had been tied back in a rolled up knot. She was wearing a long crimson red dress which had a long split on it which revealed she was wearing battleship grey panties on underneath. She had silver Ankle Strap shoes on with a big silver buckle held together with a crimson red strap wrapped around her waist, she was also naturally wearing a black blindfold tied around her eyes. Her name was Daisy

“Listen up, I’ve got a gun against your back and I’ll blow several holes in you unless you cooperate.” Tina said ramming her knuckles into the musician’s back and hoping she wouldn’t turn around or remove her blindfold.

“Okay, please don’t shoot, I don’t even work here, I’m just one of the musician’s, what do you want?” Daisy asked.

“Okay for now just back up very slowly behind these bushes, I’ve got your arm so you don’t fall over, but remember if you even think about thinking, I’ll shoot you where you stand.” Tina lied about the shooting part.

Tina managed to get Daisy behind a load of bushes before she pulled her knuckles away.

“Even though I’ve let go I still have my gun aimed at you, so tell me what’s with the blindfold?” Tina asked curiously.

“I’m just a musician that’s been invited for tonight’s event, because I’m not a member or anything, I have to obey the many rules and regulations of the ark society. Performers, musicians and even international celebrities are required to wear a blindfold at all times during our visit to the island and we are to sign a legal NDA, strictly prohibiting us from speaking about we see, hear or experience.” Daisy explained.

“Huh, I wasn’t expecting you to say that, well listen, you can keep your blindfold for now, but I really need you to strip out of your clothes and shoes as I need to replace you.” Tina informed Daisy.

“Right okay, just don’t get trigger happy okay.” Daisy said, still not knowing that Tina didn’t have a gun at all.

Daisy stripped out of her dress and took of her shoes before a mobile phone slipped out from behind her belt buckle.

“What was that?” Daisy asked.

“Nothing, it’s just your phone, eeerrmmm right here’s where things get a little weird for you see, I need your bra and panties too, don’t worry, you won’t be naked as I;ll give you the one’s I’m wearing.” Tina said after notices that should anyone notice the slit in the dress then they’d see that Tina was wearing an ark member’s underwear and they might get suspicious.

“Wait, you want to swap underwear with me? Isn’t that a bit strange?” Daisy whispered in confusion.

“I know, I know, just do as I say yeah!” Tina whispered angrily back.

Daisy removed her underwear which is revealed that she was wearing a matching battleship grey bra along with her panties. Now that Daisy was completely naked minus her blindfold, Tina stripped out of her clothing and removed her ark member bra and panties before placing them in Daisy’s hands.

“Here get into these; you can retain some sort of dignity that way.” Tina added. Daisy put them on then put her hands back up in the air.

“So what are you going to do.....” Daisy’s sentence was cut short and Tina quickly punched her in the side of head, knocking her out cold.

Tina then helped herself to Daisy’s blindfold before tying up and gagging Daisy herself. But even then Tina ripped a piece of her ark member’s jacket and made into a blindfold and placed it around Daisy’s eyes.

“There, this way you won’t get into a trouble.” Tina remarked. Tina then got changed into Daisy’s outfit and out on her blindfold and picked up her phone before getting back into position.

Once Tina was back into position she could hear that the sister’s were already outside.

“Aahh here’s our entertainer now, musician girl play us something soothing.” Zoe ordered.

Tina didn’t have a clue how to play, but luckily she had an ace up her sleeve, or rather in her belt, she quickly peeked out from under her blindfold to make sure they weren’t looking then using the Daisy’s phone, she turned the volume all the way up, went onto youtube and found a video of a lone cello playing classical music, she loaded up the video and when it started playing she mimed the music making it look like it was her that was playing it.

“Perfect, right so what’s tonight’s haul look like?” Zoe asked.

“Wonderful, we have many benefactors here tonight with many donations, ranging from statues, to artwork and pure gold bullion itself.” Sophia replied with a cheerful tone in her voice.

“What about tonight’s meeting with the council is that sill going according to plan?” Zoe followed up with.

“Yeah, well right now our custodians are unloading tonight’s donations off of the boats and when it comes to access to the top floor itself, apart from council members, only architects are allowed up as they currently mapping out parts for an extension on the fortress.” Sophia responded with a serious tone in her voice as she was all about business.

“Alright that’s fair enough, so I’ll meet you up there later, we better get back to the party otherwise the other guests might start talking.” Zoe replied.

“Alright I’ll see you up there, hey musician girl, you can go back downstairs, and someone escort her back down safely.” Sophia said while snapping her fingers at a couple of guards.

Tina immediately stomped on the phone causing it to crack which it turn stopped the music from playing and she lowered her arms before hearing the footsteps of armed guards approach her.

“Okay I’m to your right and one of us is by your left, as soon as you’re downstairs, you’re on your own alright.” One of the guards explained.

“Okay, got it.” Tina replied.

Once they got downstairs the guards gave Tina nudge to let her know that she was on her own and off they went, Tina took a peak under her blindfold every now and then when she thought no one was looking and gradually made her way outside. When she actually was outside she whipped off the blindfold so she could see properly. Tina made her way to the edge of the fortress where she saw a wide but long spiraling staircase with a thick royal blue carpet running through the middle of it, the staircase itself seemed to go under the fortress, Tina could hear numerous voices coming from below so she set out to investigate. Once she reached the bottom of the staircase, she came across a well opened area filled with custodians unloading crates upon crates worth of treasures off of boats and taking them into what appeared to be a massive storage are. Tina naturally deduced that, that was the vault like area, Tina knew she had to get in there because if that was the vault, then that was her objective, however judging by her attire it seemed she’d need yet another change of clothes. Tina crept further in into the unloading bay and hid behind a stack of crates, it’s here she realized that one of the crates had been jarred open and inside was a load of sheets of fabric, then as she was helping herself to a load of them, Tina suddenly had to duck down quickly as a female custodian with a clipboard was inspecting the crates.

The custodian in question was named Grace, she was 26 years old and she was wearing the standard custodian uniform which was made up of a grey one size fits all overall, blue elastic gloves, black worker boots and a grey cap, she had light brown skin, old world blue eyes and she had medium crushed garnet black hair, neatly tied back.

As Grace was writing down all the usual information she needed from the crates, Tina came out from around the side of the crates, Grace gasped loudly and dropped her clipboard and pen in the process, but before she could do anything else, Tina grabbed her by the front of her overalls and with a sharp movement, performed a hip toss on Grace which flung her over the crates of where Tina was just hiding, with that Tina quickly hopped over the crates to join Grace. We suddenly hear a series of punches and chops accompanied by faint moans of Grace being beaten up, a moment later it all fell silent. Several minutes after it all fell silent, Tina emerges from the crates now fully dressed in Grace’s clothes including her overall, her boots and her hat. Tina adjusted the hat before picking up the clipboard and pen then made her way over to rejoin the others. It’s here we get a glance at Grace again and we see that Grace has been tightly bound and gagged with pieces of fabric that Tina found in one of the crates and we also see that she has been tucked right into the corner in her underwear which is revealed to be a salamander orange bra and charcoal black boy shorts.

Using her newly acquired disguise Tina made her way to the entrance of where all the other custodians were taking all the crates to and tried to get in.

“Hey where are you going?” One of the custodians shouted at Tina.

“Oh, according to my record here, one of the crates serial numbers doesn’t match up, so I’ve got to go in and find it.” Tina said tapping on the clipboard.

“Oh, I see okay then.” The custodians finished up, not knowing any of the wiser.

Tina smiled and rolled her eyes before going inside and when she got inside, Tina was right where she needed to be. Inside is what seemed like a massive secret warehouse, there was racking filled to the brink with artworks, statues, stacks of cash, priceless jewellery and other items. Tina gently pulled the camera she was still hiding in her bra out and used the clipboard as a means to hide what she was doing, Tina very carefully moved the camera in and out from behind the clipboard and took as many photos as she could, every now and then other custodians would look in her direction so Tina just gave a quick glance down at either a crate or her clipboard pretending to shift through paperwork. Once Tina heard the camera she was using click to indicate it had run out of space, she knew her job was done. Although as Tina was making her way out she couldn’t help but wonder, what were Zoe and Sophia going to be discussing with this so called council, she remembered overhearing one of them mentioning new investors so could she acquire some additional information to help put this mission to bed? This was an opportunity Tina wasn’t going to pass up so once she was outside again, instead of finding a quiet place to call it in she instead headed back into the gathering as she wanted to find the council. On her way in Tina remembered that only council members themselves or architects can gain access to the upper floors. She had to think of a way she could acquire one of their outfits.

After a while of skulking around and darting from room to room, it was obvious that neither any members of the council or any architects were coming down or were around at all plus Tina couldn’t keep hiding from this many eyes all night, so Tina opted for a plan B. She went back outside and saw that several bricks on the wall were just angled enough for Tina to slip her feet into, so with that in mind Tina climbed up the side wall, narrowly avoiding as many windows as she could just in case anyone saw her ascending. Once she reached the top, thankfully one of the windows was open to let in some fresh air. Tina gave a quick glance to make sure the room was empty before she clambered into the room itself. Although just as she did Tina had to quickly jump behind one of the thick curtains as the door to the room opened and a figure walked in. Tina gave a daring peek behind the curtain as she found herself staring at an architect that had just sat down and started working on her computer.

This architect was a 30 year old female who had Latino skin, Paris brun brown eyes, medium length Havana brown hair which was clipped back using a big hair pin the shape of a red rose, she was wearing the standard architect outfit which consisted of space blue suit trousers, space blue suit shirt, a cornflower blue robe jacket which had gold trimming down the sides, she had long white dress gloves which stretched up to her elbows, she had black and gold T-strap shoes on and she was wearing a powder blue masquerade mask. This architects name was Fiona.

As Fiona was working on her computer, unfortunately her desk was facing the window itself so it was nigh on impossible for Tina to sneak up on her without being detected, so Tina had to improvise. So while she was still behind the curtain she gingerly crept down to her knees, thankfully with the window open, if Fiona was to see the curtain move, she’d just think it was the breeze blowing the curtains. Once Tina was down to her knees, she was able to crawl out from behind the curtain and managed to make her way to another desk which was just behind the curtain itself. Being as careful as she could she reached over the desk and swiped her hand across it knocking as much as she could off the desk and onto the floor.
“Huh? Are you serious.” Fiona said getting up from her desk.

Fiona made her way over and started picking up all of the objects that had fallen on the floor and putting them back on the table, then as her back was turned, Tina reached and grabbed one of Fiona’s ankles, with that she rapidly pulled Fiona’s ankles causing her to come crashing down to the floor. Before Fiona could shout Tina had hoped to her feet and leapt onto Fiona’s back and gave her a swift chop straight the back of her neck and that was that, Fiona was out like a light.
Tina rolled Fiona and removed her mask as well as removed Fiona’s rose hair clip letting her hair flow over the floor. Tina then sat Fiona up and stripped her of her robe jacket, before unbuttoning and removing her shirt. After this Tina undone and removed Fiona’s shoes before unzipping and taking off Fiona’s trousers, last but not least she slipped of Fiona’s gloves and placed them in the pile with the rest of her outfit. Here we see that Fiona is wearing a set of matching Prussian blue bra and panties, each with the Ark logo on them, although thankfully for Tina, she wouldn’t need to take the underwear this time as Fiona’s trousers and shirt would hide Tina’s own underwear nicely. Following this Tina got out of her custodian disguise and using a pair of scissors from the table proceeded to cut it into thick strands which she swiftly used to hogtie and gag Fiona before stuffing her underneath a desk, keeping her hidden and out of sight should anyone else enter. Tina smiled to herself before getting changed into Fiona’s clothing, she even took the red rose hair clip just in case this was part of the uniform itself. With her new outfit fitting perfectly Tina leaves the room and closes the door behind her.
Tina made her way across the upper floors, the hallways were littered with armed guards of all ranks and other architects all in deep discussions about what they believe the next fortress expansion should be about. Tina eventually found a big wooden double door with several guards outside however as she got close.....

“I’m sorry Ma’am but its strictly council members only in this room, but please feel free to use the other facilities on this floor.” One of the armed guards said raising his hand.

“Oh of course, my apologies I didn’t realize.” Tina said as she turned around to walk away. But as Tina was walking away contemplating what her next action would be, it seems she wouldn’t have to look too hard as a council member appeared being flanked by two armed guards.

“Look, the meeting doesn’t start for another hour yet and I’m extremely parched, you are to find a member of the castle staff and have them bring me up a martini immediately!” The council woman barked.

“Yes Ma’am, I’ll get someone on it right away.” One the guard replied as he left to find someone to bring her a drink.

Tina waited patiently close to the staircase when at long last an ark castle staff member appeared and much to Tina’s delight, it was a female. The ark castle staff member was a dark skinned woman who was 23 years old, she had long chocolate cherry dark brown hair which was tied up in a Bantu Knot style, she had tweak wood brown eyes and she wore the standard castle staff uniform which consisted of. A long sleeve white button dress shirt with a black bow tie, she had a red and black striped corset on over the top, she had a black skirt which just went down to her knee caps and she was wearing black Mary Jane shoes, she also had a masquerade mask which was plain white but had black eagle eyes painted around it, it also had red and black feathers all around the top which kind of resembled that of a peacock. Her name tag read Miranda. She was Carrying a tray with an empty martini glass, a cocktail shaker, a bottle of Gin and a bottle of vodka (pending on the council woman’s choice), accompanied with a plate of olives and a bottle of vermouth.

“Excuse me, there you are, I’m glad I caught you, the council woman had been relocated to this room and she asked me to come and find you.” Tina said to Miranda.

“Oh really? Well that’s strange no one informed me or anything, according to my message she’s still in room 312.” Miranda asked suspiciously.

“Yes, yes that is correct, but it’s literally only happened in the space of the last two minutes I’m afraid, surely you’re not going to question the orders of a member of the council.” Tina said both pleased that Miranda had revealed what room the council woman was in and pulling on her loyalty strings to the ark society in the process.

“No, of course not, please lead the way and I’m sorry for even doubting it.” Miranda was quick to apologize.

“No problem, it’ll be our little secret, now right this way.” Tina responded.

Tina led Miranda into a room and closed the door behind her, but as soon as Miranda put the tray down on the table she looked up in confusion.

“But there’s no one here?” Miranda asked.

“Yes she is, look she’s right over there.” But as soon as Miranda gullibly turned around, Tina gave her a swift but sharp chop straight to the back of her neck and Miranda fell to the floor, sprawled out in a star shape on her front completely unconscious.

“Well I seem to be jumping from one disguise to another as if it’s going out of fashion, it still has to be done though.” Tina thought to herself as she got to work stripping Miranda.

Tina removed Miranda’s corset first, luckily it was simple button one instead of a strap up corset. She then removed Miranda’s shoes and skirt before lifting off her mask and undoing her bow tie, this was finished off by Tina unbuttoning and slipping Miranda out of her shirt. Now that Miranda had been reduced to her bra and panties of which her bra was white with blue bubble spots patched all over it and her knickers were shocking pink with white rabbits all over them.

“Hhhmm, playful are we my dear.” Tina said in response to seeing Miranda’s underwear choice. Tina then finished up by using the last of her tape to both tie up Miranda nice and tight and stuck a couple of layers of tape over her mouth as a gag, now with all of her tape gone, she’d have to improvise when she gets to the council woman. Tina then got changed into Miranda’s castle staff uniform picked up the tray and made her way to room 312.

Once she was there Tina showed the guards outside that she was there to serve the council her drink, so they opened the door and allowed her to go inside. When Tina got inside she saw the council woman she had saw earlier. She was a tall but slender woman, she had white skin and was wearing her council attire, this comprised of a, full face golden skull mask, a mulberry purple short sleeve dress shirt and trousers, she had a violet purple robe jacket with cyber gold trimmings down the side on with her hood up covering the back of her head, she had black D’orsay shoes on. Unknown to Tina yet her name was Layla.

“Put the tray down and I fancy Vodka not Gin in my Martini and make it snappy, the meeting starts soon.” Layla demanded.

“Yes Madame, right away.” Tina said as she started to whip up the Martini. Once she had whipped it up, she placed it down in front of Layla. Layla picked up the glass and turned to face the window so she could remove her mask without Tina seeing her, this of course was of little avail because as soon as she turned around, Tina struck her hard right on the top of her head with the silver tray, causing to fall backwards, Tina of course naturally grabbed the glass as Layla was falling, just in case in smashed or spilt all over her outfit.

“Good grief, that’s your first drink and it’s already gone straight to your head, well no more for you then Madame.” Tina joked to a very unconscious Layla.

Tina placed the tray back onto the table before she bent down and started to strip Layla of her clothes, as Tina removed her mask and robe jacket it here that we see that Layla has beeline honey blond hair which has been tied into a three bun knot style. Once Tina had stripped Layla down to her underwear it’s here that we see that Layla is wearing a heather purple underwire bra and a pair of heather purple slip panties. Tina then removed the ropes that were holding the curtain back and she used them to tie up Layla’s arms and wrists together before she tied her ankles together, once this was done she removed the bow tie she was wearing and scrunched it up into a ball before shoving it into Layla’s mouth as a gag. Now that Layla was bound and out of the way, Tina quickly got changed into her council attire and thankfully due to the skull mask being an all face mask, Tina’s identity would be completely concealed.

“I want the staff girl to stay in my room until I get back; I’m going to want more drinks.” Tina said to the guards just outside her room just in case they found it suspicious that the castle staff girl never left.

“Yes Madame of course.” One of the guards replied.

Tina made her way back to the double wooden doors and this time because of her attire the guards stood aside and opened one of the doors for her to gain entry to the room. Once Tina was inside the room she noticed a circle of chairs had been arranged and on each chair sat a mixture of both male and female other council members with Sophia and Zoe standing in the middle of the circle.

“Nice of you to join us Layla, please hurry up and take your seat so we may begin.” Sophia said sarcastically. Tina didn’t say anything just in case they recognized the real Layla’s voice, so she just nodded and sat in the only unoccupied chair.

“Now that Miss Layla has arrived we can properly begin, now you are being each being given a file document which contains all of tonight proceedings but also contains a list of probable members, future donation funds and of course features several accounts of whom have been linked to several famous celebrities who also wish to join our ever growing business.” Sophia carried on as several armed guards handed each council member including Tina a file.

“Because of the ever growing interest in our organisation, as of tomorrow all ark member sign up fees will be extended to thirty million, we have our own interests in this as well.” Zoe added.

“Now I want to turn our attention to our next piece of business, this of which concerns the..........” Zoe is suddenly interrupted by several guards and even a couple of Elite guards who suddenly walked in and whispered into both Zoe’s and Sophia’s ears.

“Thank you for bringing this to my attention, make sure we handle this discreetly and try not to make too much noise.” Sophia whispered.

Suddenly they all turned their attention towards Tina.

“Well then miss Layla, or should I just call you imposter, it seems the real Layla was found bound and gagged not to mention in her underwear in her room, which would also explain why you were late getting here, so stand up, put down the file and take off that mask, I want to know who you really are.” Zoe ordered.

Tina didn’t say a word because right now she still had the element of surprise even if it didn’t seem like it. So she got up off her chair and undone her jacket before opening it up and flinging it into the air. Several guards fired through the jacket hooping to hit her but it was too late, Tina had already leapt through the window behind her, with the files tucked up under her arms.

“God damn it, FIND HER NOW!” Sophia shouted.

Outside we see that Tina had landed back first onto a table on a balcony just below on the next floor down. She let out a grunt as even though it was only one floor down, it certainly didn’t stop it from hurting. She quickly pulled herself together and rolled off the table, she noticed that there were a lot of people all looking at her both shocked and confused. Even though Tina was still wearing the mask she still felt embarrassed but she had to move quickly as guards were starting to pour into the room. Tina grabbed the files again and pushed passed all the people and ran as fast as she could out the room, once she was outside she ducked behind a pillar and watched as several pursuing guards ran passed her. Just then one of the elite guards appeared with a radio in hand. She was a white female who appeared to be 25 years old, she had midnight ruby black shirt-ish hair and she had blue star blue eyes. She was wearing her elite guard uniform which consisted of a black pin stripe suit with dress shoes, black leather gloves, boysenberry hooded cloak held in place with a gold chain, a boysenberry purple tie and a silver mask, she was holding onto UMP 45 sub machine gun and she had a walkie talkie with a blue screen attached to her black belt.

“This is Claire reporting in, this area’s securing, moving on the south banks.” She said revealing her name to be Claire.

Tina knew she was still too out in the open to be taken down quietly so she had to lure her away, an easy job for Tina.

“Hey, overhear I found a mask behind this pillar, it looks like the woman your chasing jumped over this wall.” Tina shouted to Claire while waving the gold mask around.

“Copy that, stay where you are I’ll take a look!” Claire shouted in response.

Once Claire was in range, Tina quickly elbowed Claire in her stomach causing her to drop her rifle and hunch over in pain, Tina gave her a second elbow right on Claire’s head which sent down to the floor hard, Tina then finished her off by curb stomping her forehead into the soil knocking her out.

“Wow I had to hit you pretty hard to knock you out, well at least they pride themselves on your brawn's and thankfully not your intelligence because you just came over here without calling it in or anything.” Tina said judging Claire harshly but truthfully.

Grabbing Claire by her wrists Tina proceeded to drag Claire behind a wall where they could have some privacy. Tina unclipped and removed Claire’s hood before she stripped of Claire’s Elite guard uniform. A couple minutes later Claire now lay defeated at Tina’s feet in only her bra and knickers which were both aubergine purple in colour. Thankfully because Tina’s outfit was thick she was able to rip it quite easily and she managed to rip into multiple bonds to which she swiftly bound and gagged Claire. Tina propped up Claire’s body against the wall so she was out of sight, then Tina got changed into Claire’s uniform and mask and pulled the hood over her head before re-appearing from behind the wall. Just as she did several guards came running up the staircase.

“Did you find anything?” One of the elite guards asked.

“Yes I found her and managed to tackle her, she got away again but I managed to wrestle the files out of her hands, I’ll go and bring this back to the council, you carry on searching for her, she made her way up there.” Tina bluffed.

“Right we’ll get to it, come on you heard her, she went up here.” The other elite guard replied to his other guards, not knowing that a few feet to his left, his fellow elite guard Claire lay beaten and bruised plus bound and gagged in her undies. The remaining guards then ran pass Tina and headed in the opposite direction.

Tina gave them a mocking salute as they ran pass her knowing full well she had just thrown them a curve ball. With this Tina made her way out of the fortress grounds and made her way back to the rocky area by the sea of where she originally entered from, Tina then radioed in on her earpiece to her pilot for an extraction before radioing in to the sun gazers that they can start their siege of the fortress. Tina really didn’t want to hang around and watch the siege as she knew she’d see things that would leave her with more questions than answers so she just informed the pilot that she wanted to be taken back home immediately, she had all the photos in her possession and to top it all off she had a whole new file of information that the non-suits back home would just love to get their hands on, this should keep them occupied for a while for Tina resumed her search for Soph. All in a day’s works.

END OF CHAPTER ELEVEN.




P.S Just wanted to add this link as well so you can see some of the woman that Tina is replacing in this chapter.

Another great story!

You even managed to put in one of my favorite concepts with the knockout of Bethany. The idea of knocking the victim out by a means that will not last long and then giving her a drug to keep her asleep for a long time!

[Trackman281]

Thank you very much Meditions142. I'm pleased you enjoyed the story and I am a man of my word, you said you enjoyed that type of knockout scene so I included it in. I aim to please.

[esercito sconfitto]

wow Trackman definitely a different pace , and at some point a frantic pace! I lost the count of how many disguises have been acquired in that Atlantic Island!

[Trackman281]

Thank you very much esercito. Yeah I thought I'd mix things up a bit with this chapter and instead of giving you a very long scripted chapter I thought I'd give you guys a straight up USB tale where an infiltrator goes in. Neutralises a bunch of women for there clothes and so forth in that order. Then she escapes.

[rufusluciusivan]

Nothing much to add compared to what has already been said. A good old fashioned infiltration!

Also, nice introduction, that keeps detailing Tina's and Marie's friendship (as well as Tina's worries for). I liked the call-back of Tina's "rogue gallery", a good way to prepare their potential (inevitable?) return. And Glitch got what was coming to her, so I'm not complaining.

[Trackman281]

Glad you liked it Rufusluciousvan.

Oh it's definitely inevitable.

I thought it would be a good idea for Tina to make files on some of her more top tier adversaries, because when they get out they're going to be gunning for her in petty revenge so Tina needs to know who she's up against.

Hahaha I had feeling you'd like that part. Yes poor Glitch, she just never knows when to keep her mouth shut. I'd say she'd learn but because of her narcissistic ways.......... I highly doubt she will.

[tirepanted3]

Definitely a lot of takedowns/clothing steals in this story. I think my personal favorite is the Bethany scene - I like the way Tina lures her into the bathroom, as well as the way she gives her the Rolex after tying her up. Funny moment that continues to help humanize our lead lady.

[Trackman281]

I'm pleased you enjoyed it tirepanted3 and yes no matter where Tina goes I always like to add that little touch of compassion, because that's just who she is.
