CHAPTER 1
The Hazmat Suit Guy.
The Figure in the hazmat suit stopped and
turned to check that he had heard the
explosion correctly, and upon seeing that there
had not BEEN an explosion and that the
warehouse was all still there, he stopped
running away and started walking back.
As he neared the entrance he noticed that the
door was open and, as the place was deserted,
AND in the middle of nowhere, he had shut
the door as he fled the warehouse ( to stop
drafts), that meant that someone had opened
it.
So he did the obvious thing and took the secret
entrance into the security center (all the best
warehouses have them) and sure enough, on
one of the security screens there were two
lightly equipped soldier-looking people hanging
around the entrance, so, he picked up a device
which he had configured for just such an
occasion, and pushed a button (which went
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
2/24
red) and the signs (which he also designed for
just this situation) were made to be reversed
from "Gas TestingRoom>" to "Main Lab>"...Upon encountering these signs the soldiers
split up, and upon pressing another button on
the device (which went orange) gas flooded the
Gas Testing Room for a short while (enough toincapacitate the soldier) until the button was
pushed again (turning it green) The other was
going to have to be dealt with more directly...
Using the network of secret passages (the
scientist had gone to great lengths to keep his
inventions and workings secret) to get to theMain Lab he came up a way behind the soldier,
where he then sought some kind of non-lethal
weapon, but when he saw the soldiers helmet
he realized he could hit him very hard anyway
with a nearby wrench to knock him out. As he
moved closer he decided that a hazmat suit is
not the best thing to sneak around in and by
pushing a quick combination of buttons (which
flashed varying shades of red and orange) a
blood curdling (yet kind of generic) scream
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
3/24
echoed from the direction the soldier was
facing. The soldier went white under his
helmet. "What was that? What do I do?! WHY
did we split up!?." Fortunately his worries weremade obsolete by the intense pounding
sensation in the back of his head.
Chapter 2
The Army Is Involved
(Really?)
The Commander in charge of this operation
was absolutely FURIOUS. A relatively simple
task had completely FAILED to yield results.
Before deciding what to do next he wanted to
review the file on this strange man and his
warehouse so he shouted at someone to get it
for him. A short while later he was reading it.
"11:00 Tuesday March 18 2007. Explosion
reported near the outskirts of America, aninvestigation is begun. During the course of the
investigation highly complicated parts of
machines are found and the army is called
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
4/24
in..."
He knew the rest because he WAS the rest, Just
as he had decided that it wasnt worth
bothering with much more, some construction
had been reported at the blast site and here he
was again. About to (after some thought) order
a kind of siege on it.
Meanwhile Hazmat suit guy (here after referredto as "Hazmat suit guy" or Genius) was
preparing to escape, he had decided to take
some things and lie low until they got bored
searching the building. They wouldnt find his
latest work because he was going to hide it in a
specifically designed compartment. Themachine in question was supposed to take
vibration and heat to extreme levels, but this
wouldn't destroy the world. Hopefully.THAT
was why it had to be kept secret, so he could
make it and test it and make sure that if it
worked, he could make sure that no one ever
used it. As a decoy machine that was useless
was placed in the center of the lab by a handy
mechanichal arm, the secret compartment
closed with the real machine safely inside and
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
5/24
even more safely un-operational (the heat was
fine, the vibration needed to be added next) a
voice rung out around the warehouse "Come
out of there now. We know you are in there.We just want to ask some questions." He
hadn't expected them to be so quick but as
usual he had a backup plan, he pushed a
button on the device (which went red) and his
own prerecorded voice answered the other.
"Who are you? No, it doesn't matter I think Iwill vaporize you, or should I gas you? I have
plenty of time...You won't get in here!"
After a while the officer in charge of the siege
contacted the commander. "Sir, he is still
talking, requesting orders." He was slightlyunnerved by all these death threats but the
Commander (here after referred to as
"Commander") would surely know what to do,
then the orders came through " Move in and
bring him out alive." Not the orders he wanted,
but orders were orders.
CHAPTER 3 TEN MINUTES

LATER
(was that all?)
"He wasn't in there sir. But we did find a pretty
impressive machine that he left behind." Said
the officer to the commander over the radio.
"Bring it in for examination then." Said the
Commander. Another failed attempt. Thought
the Commander, but at least he was now going
to get some answers.
Running along the dark, underground tunnel
that would eventually link up with the nearby
citys sewers, the figure in the hazmat suit
stopped to reflect on the situation. After a
short while he pushed a button on the device
(which went red) and the lights in the tunnel
came on and then (for laughs) he pushed the
scream button on the device and thought
about where to get help from, Police? No that
would make it worse. The army? No that WAS
the army. Whoever he got help from, theywould have to be on the wrong side of the law.
As the Commander waited for a report on the
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
7/24
machine he was walking through the
warehouse when suddenly...
Typical of a librarian to be reading. Thought
the Genius as he made for the librarys
computer and typed into the search engine
Criminal Masterminds and then waited for
the archives to be searched. He then searched
the results himself for one that hadnt killed
anyone and he had found one being held at a
maximum security prison on an island
somewhere that is not in Canada when the
librarian walked up beside him and said Uh
sir, Im going to have to ask you to leave. If
you remember, a short while ago he was in a
sewer system, and the smell sticks.
CHAPTER 4
Prison Break
(Id rather write about a lunch break)
He still hadnt received a report for that
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
8/24
machine, so he was going to go down
there and MAKE them give him one. He
reached the door to the lab and input the
code into the panel on the wall 9172
and the main door slid open while the
reinforced door unlocked itself in several
places and slid open itself, he strode
through and in under 50 seconds you
could have heard him through thereinforced door WHAT!? ITS USELESS?!
Being a man of science, the Genius didnt
have a religion to stop him killing people.
He just didnt do it because he had ethics.
Regardless of his ethics he would need
non lethal methods of incapacitation and
the best way to get that would be to get
his lab back for a short time. But as his
warehouse was being patrolled day and
night this would be very difficult.
Fortunately he didnt know this.He arrived at the front of the warehouse in
almost pitch black conditions, so no one
saw him coming, but he could see the
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
9/24
soldiers at the front door guarding the
entrance. While he could have gone
through the secret entrance he decided to
try and bluff his way in. Emergency in the
lab! Dont let anyone through here! He
said to the guards as he rushed through
the doors before they could react. To
make himself look busy he picked up a
modified TV remote and strode swiftlyto the chemical storage room.
Still mad at the decoy machine the
Commander went to his quarters where he
thought about the situation, the scientist
and anyone else there had escaped, the
machine was useless and he didnt know
anything new. This was looking more and
more like a losing battle with each new
development, so he decided to sleep on it
and formulate a plan in the morning.
Anti-paraffin... Basic soap... Real paraffin...Ah hyper-chloroform! Just the thing! Add
some water, put in a spray bottle, done.
The perfect method of ending awkward
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
10/24
moments, arguments and fights. The TV
remote hadnt been useful so far but he
hung on to it anyway and headed for the
main exit, and as he was passing through
he decided to test his spray on the guards,
he sprayed them quickly and quietly, and
they fell like confused logs. Now knowing
that it worked he needed to get to the
harbor and from there to a boat, so hewent back in, got a drinks cooler, came
out and said to the driver of a nearby
vehicle I need to get these to the harbor
for some tests, take me there. The driver
being a soldier followed the orders without
question.
The Commander woke to the sound of his
phone ringing, and upon answering it
discovered that the two guards guarding
the entrance to the ware house had fallen
unconscious has anything happened? Heasked. no. Came the reply. He
disconnected the call and went back to an
angry sleep .
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
11/24
When he arrived at the harbor he told the
driver to go back to the warehouse and
started looking for a boat he could get for
free (for a degree of free) and as luck
would have it a small boat was being left
all alone by its crew who were going to a
nearby bar for a pint or 20 so he quickly
boarded it and set it adrift and started
sailing to the prison that is not in Canada.Meanwhile inside the prison the prisoners
were being called out for inspection, but
the Mastermind had been observing the
guards closely and had discovered nothing
except that when faced with a new
situation they were slow to react and open
to commands, and, when his name was
called out he remained silent in order to
fake a missing prisoner. The guards looked
uneasy, then he picked his moment (just
before the last moment but after all hopehas been lost) and shouted THERE HE
GOES! THROUGH THAT DOOR! which was
conveniently swaying in the wind. As the
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
12/24
guards swarmed towards it and everyone
else looked towards it, he made a break
for a different door and headed for the
control room which he had never been to.
But as 60% of the prison was cells 10%
walls, 10% shore and 20% other rooms,
60% of which he had been in at one point
only left two rooms, one of which was
rightHERE...
It was fairly calm on the water...No wind or
waves...Or pirates...Just the prison lights
that were frantically moving around in the
distance.
The guards quarters!? Of all therooms...Still, he made the most of it by
putting on a spare uniform and heading
for the control room (Again). When he got
there he decided to act important WHAT
is going on!? He said. The operator said
One of the convicts has escap- The restwas cut off by the Mastermind knocking
him out. He then proceeded to lock up
most of the prisons doors and open the
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
13/24
main one, which he then headed for.
The doors opened as the figure in the
hazmat suit approached, so he stayedoutside to see what was coming out, after
a while someone in a guards outfit, no
wait *check memory* the Mastermind!
Taking a desperate gamble before the
Mastermind got away he shouted to him
Hey! Im on your side! The Masterminddecided that he could get rid of him if he
was lying and told him to get on the boat,
Which he did. But before they could get
far, a police boat appeared! Fortunately
they didnt get more than a look from the
other boat so they sailed closer, with a
figure in a hazmat suit at the wheel to
attract attention, and when they were
close enough, the Mastermind jumped
onto the other boat unseen, as everyone
was paying attention to the Genius at thewheel. (Yes, they did spray the 6 extra
police on board)
The Commander awoke to the endless
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
14/24
ringing that was his phone. He answered
it, and was actually greeted with pie good
news. The scientist had been found
unconscious far away from Canada and
was being brought in at that very
moment, it would take about 30 minutes
to get him to the Commander.
CHAPTER 5
Interrogation, Pills, More Pills and a
Meeting.
(Oh is that all?)
The Commander walked into the
interrogation room and as he did so, the
figure in the hazmat suit looked up he said
Sir with all due respect. All I remember is
this person in a plastic suit sailing a boat
next to us then I must have gone
unconscious, and then I wake up with this
suit on and police and soldiers all around
me! It took a while to verify, but after
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
15/24
that it was plain that the Commander had
been made a fool of, and he did NOT like
to be made a fool of.
After the bases doctor had given the
Commander a few pills (without telling
him that they were in his drink) the
Commander calmed down and could once
again make rational decisions, the first of
which was to fire everyone and do themission himself.
After he had received a few more pills he
decided to wait for a report from the
prison.
Meanwhile the Genius had been tellingMastermind about his situation and the
Mastermind had agreed to help, but he
also decided to phone up his old team
members and call them to a meeting
using a stolen phone.
LATER
It turned out that one member had died
and two others had left the group but
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
16/24
retained their criminality by becoming
salesmen. The forth and last member had
moved to Australia for some obscure
reason. So, realizing they were on their
own, they decided to wait and see what
the next move was from the safety of a hill
on the outskirts of the perimeter of the
warehouse, as they had no idea what the
Commander was thinking, or that heexisted.
The Commander on the other hand knew
exactly what he was thinking and was
reasonably sure that he existed. Currently
he was mulling over the prison report, it
was not such a wild guess to assume that
the scientist and the criminal were in it
together at present. He would have to
draw them out somehow...Thats it! He
said aloud.
It had just gone 8:00 when they arrived atthe outskirts of the perimeter of the
warehouse to see what would happen next
from the safety of a nearby hill, when they
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
17/24
heard on a loudspeaker All personnel to
evacuatethe warehouse as the bomb will
explode in 15 minutes. Having built the
warehouse to withstand explosions, it was
a safe bet that they were using military
precision (its much cheaper) so they
would have put the bomb (assuming there
were not two) in the chemical storage
room. If he could just get to the secretpassage and from there the security
center and from THEREthe network of
secret passages that could lead him to the
storage room in less than 15 minutes then
he was fine.
CHAPTER 6
Bomb Disposal.
(Not to mention a high-speedgetaway that never happened...)
Upon reaching the security center and
looking at the screen for the storage room
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
18/24
it was obvious they had been tricked, as
there were no less than 8 soldiers in that
room. He pressed a button on the device
(Yes, he still has that device) and then he
pressed a few more and most of the
ventilation was cut off, except for the
ducts from the security room to the gas
storage room, he then sprayed some
chloroform (Yes, he still has that too) andheaded for the storage room when he
realized that he now had more or less the
whole warehouse to himself for the first
time since it had been besieged...
The Commander was waiting anxiously to
see if the fake bomb would work when a
van came crashing out of what was the
garage door and sped off as he shouted
FOLLOW THAT VAN! The important thing
was that it had worked. The scientist had
fled the building in a van with all hisequipment, so when he was caught, he
wouldnt even need to ask that many
questions. He was thinking this when one
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
19/24
of the soldiers who were inside the
building as a contingency plan rushed
over to him. Sir, there has been a gas
leak, the others are all unconscious. He
said. "Get them away from the building
and issue some gas masks." Said the
commander. Just what he needed, a faulty
building.
Meanwhile. The Genius was not in fact,
driving away at top speed, but was
carefully locking most of the doors in his
warehouse. He had also retrived several
items that might be useful at some point.Among them were such items as: A small
portable solar panel for recharging his
equipement, a night-vision/ thermal vision/
sonar/ two way radio headset, A small
packet of loose change and some extra
Hyper-chloroform, in smoke grenade form.NOW he left for the secret exit, but in
style...
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
20/24
"Sir, the gas masks have been issued and
the men are recieving medical attention."
Said the soldier. "Good work, anything
else?" Said the Commander. "Yes sir,
While we were in the warehouse we came
across a strange compartment with some
kind of square device in it. We found some
blueprints nearby. It could be worth
looking into." "Really? Good work soldier,look into it..."
The plan that the Genius had outlined
went like this: Distract the army from the
warehouse, steal some useful things, thenwait for the army to leave. Keep doing this
over and over until the warehouse is
empty. This plan requiered a place to stay
and stash all the "stolen" equipement
while they distracted the army. The
Genius was thinking this as he waswalking down the sewers leading away
from his warehouse, he put them there
himself of course, so no one knew about
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
21/24
them. One warehouse doesn't need man
sized sewers after all.
The Commander didn't have it so easy on
the other hand, as by the day, there were
more and more soldiers on site, This was
because he was paranoid due to not
finding the scientist, not finding the
criminal and because someone had stolen
his pen, which is terrible if you have to
write reports and sign documents
requesting more soldiers. The fact that he
had found a secret square machine was
not helping.During the last paragraph, the Genius had
hit on where to set up a base of
operations, in the sewers surrounding the
warehouse. He had also, by this time,
managed to re-aquire some of his
equipement and place it in the temporary
sewer base.
The Mastermind had been impersonating
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
22/24
a soldier all this time ( Sir, there has been
a gas leak, the others are all
unconscious. ) and had been trying to get
the militaries scientists to finish building
the machine, hence he aquired the blue-
prints for it and handed them over.
Meanwhile the Commander had finally
come up with an actual plan. Cover the
area with searchlights and night-vision-goggle guards. But at the presice moment
that it became two minutes since he gave
the order to execute the afore-mentioned
plan, a scientist entered his office. (Near
the warehouse, but not too near.) "Sir."
Said the resident smart-guy."After careful
examination, we have discovered that this
machine uses vast amounts of heat and
energy. It could be some kind of weapon."
If the machine was a weapon then that
would explain why the Genius had runaway, why he was building it in secret and
why he had hidden it. He may be enemy
spy as well but that was no longer
-
8/9/2019 The Genius, The Mastermind and The Commander
23/24
important. "What action should we take
sir?" The reply came."Finish it."
Back on that hill on the outskirts of theperimeter, the Genius had set up a well-
camoflauged outpost. To spy on their
camp.(To find out where the highly
explosive stuff was kept.) He saw that
they were setting up search lights on
makeshiftscaffolds.
The Mastermind had been spying on
almost every aspect of the temporary
base when he came to The Commanders
office. He sat and waited a discreet
distance away until The Commander cameout of his office door, locking it behind him
and putting the key (Already on a key
ring.) in his pocket.
