Eye Spy

Impulse fell into his chair, right out of the emergency meeting system. Head still spinning from the enderpearl, he gripped onto the table for stability as he sat down properly. He could make out the other resistance members doing the same out of the corners of his vision. Once everyone had recovered from the teleport, Grian cleared his throat.

"Today's disaster was the third time HEP knew what we were gonna do ahead of time." He explained. "I'm sick of it. My thinking is that they must have installed a traitor amongst our ranks. I'm personally sus of Mumbo, just because he's acting like he did last time he was a mole. However, I'm not 100% certain, so I have... a plan!"

"And what's the plan?" xB asked, curious.

"Simple. We attack now. Or, in half an hour. At that point, we mycelium-ify Mount Scarmore. We will meet at... at the Red Zone. Got that?" The group nodded assent. "I'll explain the rest of the plan once we've done that." With that, the group of Grian, Etho, xB, Ren, Impulse, Stress and Jevin split up across the shopping district, getting ready for the strike.

Meanwhile, at HEP HQ...

Oh, this was golden. For some reason, Mumbo hadn't notified Cub that a meeting was occurring, but Cub had, by some value of luck, randomly opened up the spy feed halfway through the meeting, just in time to hear where and when the resistance would be meeting. Once again, they'd be walking right into his hands. And this time, he wouldn't let them escape.

Cubfan135 - HEP Team Chat: They're planning another strike.

MumboJumbo - HEP Team Chat: They are? I wasn't told!

BDoubleO100 - HEP Team Chat: AHA! They sussed you!

Cubfan135 - HEP Team Chat: That's why we have two moles.

Cubfan135 - HEP Team Chat: Anyways, who wants to apprehend them with me?

Falsesymmetry - HEP Team Chat: I will!

BDoubleO100 - HEP Team Chat: YES!

Xisuma - HEP Team Chat: Sorry, I'm busy farming grass.

Goodtimewithscar - HEP Team Chat: I'm stripmining the entire shopping district.

Xisuma - HEP Team Chat: Keralis is AFK

Xisuma - HEP Team Chat: ...Tango?

Cubfan135 - HEP Team Chat: Lost cause. Hasn't even been responding to Impulse from what I've seen.

Goodtimewithscar - HEP Team Chat: Someone should go after him.

MumboJumbo - HEP Team Chat: Yeah, to make sure he's ok.

Goodtimewithscar - HEP Team Chat: ...yeah that.

Cubfan135 - HEP Team Chat: So what I'm getting is that BDubs and False are with me?

Falsesymmetry - HEP Team Chat: Yep :)

Cubfan135 - Ok. Meet me at the Red Zone in half an hour. Things are about to go down.

Cub closed his communicator, his grin like a permanent mask on his face by this point.

Meanwhile, at Zed's base.

Tango kicked his communicator away, not wanting to worry about the implications of Scar's message. He spread out the plan in front of him, a solemn pride washing over him. He wished he didn't have to this, wished things had never even got this far, but it was now well beyond that point. They'd made him hurt Impulse.

And he swore that there would be a reckoning.

Only a couple chapters, and then we hit the branch point for the three endings!

I've been Entropy, peace out from the present!
