So you all drove down to Downton Port and got there around
day break, making a race of it (Aardvark won!). The place was guarded by the
local constabulary who weren’t letting anybody in, and the fire brigade were
there too. You could see the main research centre was a pyramidal kind of
structure, but it had been damaged by an explosion. There were flames coming
from parts of the building, and a strange green gas was bellowing out. You
thought it might have been sabotage by TWITCH.
Heading down to the pyramid, you could see the body of a
technican lying by the main door. You could see he had met a violent death and
had been beaten and bitten by some sort of animal, maybe. The door seemed to activate
by palm print, which was certainly new-fangled. You decided to try the
technicnan’s hand, and the door slid open. You found yourself in a sort of
airlock, and after a few seconds you were able to open the inner door.
Immediately you were attacked by five savage (and what
looked like) rabid dogs. You quickly closed the airlock and left. You scouted
around the grounds and managed to find a few bits of corrugated metal which you
thought might make some decent shields against the dogs, and then went back inside.
You were able to fend the dogs off pretty well, and shoot them safely, but Ajax
got nicked. You thought it might have been a bite from one of the rabid dogs,
but fortunately (as fate would have it) it turned out to be a simple scratch
from the corrugated metal.
Faced with a long, straight, corridor with many doors on
both sides, you decided to shut all the doors, so you could work methodically
through the dunge research facility. You noticed on one side was a large
lab full of cages. All the cages were open and there were a few dogs still alive
inside. They seemed to be rabid, and surrounded by many dead dogs in a scene of
horrific carnage.
On the other side you could see a similar lab with all the
cages open, but only one animal there. In one cage there was a chimpanzee
reading (or looking at the pictures) of a children’s book. You went to have a
chat with him. He managed to communicate by pointing to pictures from the book.
He seemed to think monkeys (or apes) had caused the explosion, and then they
had all got into a limousine, or something. You called him Charlie (the Chimp).
You had a look through the records and discovered this part
of the facility was dedicated to uplifting moneys (or apes) so they might be
useful for performing special monkey (or ape) spying missions.
Looking through the other section you discovered it was
researching into creating super-strong strains of rabies and infecting dogs,
for some reason. You also found a couple of dead technicians here. It looked like
they had been killed by the rabid dogs, but their injuries were not similar to
those of the technician by the door.
The third section was for creating new chemical weapons and
so you took some rudimentary precautions (damp face masks and gloves) before entering
the third section. You saw a number of dead technicians, who looked like they
had been killed by the fire or the fumes. A whole bunch of chemicals and items
had been piled on the floor and then set alight. This had obviously caused the
explosion and it was billowing green fumes. You managed to put the fire out,
but not before Aardvark lost consciousness from the fumes and had to be dragged
out.
Finally Acorn climbed up through the suspended ceiling and
put the rabid dogs out of their misery. As you left, a policemen told you that
something strange was happening in the village and that you’d better go and
sort it out. So you all jumped into you respective vehicles and drove down
towards Upper Downton.
Nearly at the village you each felt something heavy land on
the top of your cars. And Ajax had his soft top ripped off by a huge gibbon. Ajax
pulled the gibbon off his car and threw it into the road in front of him, and
ran it over. Then he shot at the gibbon on Aardvark’s car, causing it to jump
onto his car. At that very moment, an E-type Jag came roaring round the corner,
driven by a hapless chimpanzee, heading straight for Acorn’s Bond. Acorn managed
to swerve onto the verge and avoid the E-type, but Aardvark didn’t and hit the
Jag head on, getting knocked unconscious in the crash. Acorn carried on into
the village finally shaking the gibbon off, and Ajax drove around the wreck,
and headed for the village shooting the gibbon on top of his car.
In the village Acorn noticed a bunch of chimps in the local
tailor’s trying on suits and hats and generally going ape. He decided to knock
on a door to talk to a villager and a frightened villager did manage to tell
him that the village was in uproar and being invaded by monkeys. He then knocked
on the police station door to see if he could get some help. The door was
answered by a gorilla wearing a police helmet. Acorn asked if he could see the
sergeant, and a huge silverback turned up. It punched Acorn in the face sending
him sprawling into the road.
Meanwhile, Aardvark recovered from his crash and headed for
the village. A gibbon jumped at him from the canopy but Aardvark managed to
shoot it as it jumped towards him. Ajax put his car in reverse and opened the
door as he drove back through the village, and Acorn managed to jump into the
car as it passed him. Then they picked up Aardvark.
You hatched a plan to take pot shots at the Gorillas from
distance but that wasn’t very effective, and then you decided to head back to
the research facility.
Once there, you went to speak to Charlie. You explained you wanted
him to come down and sort it out, and he seemed to agree. And so you drove back
down to the village and knocked on the police station, and left Charlie there while
you retreated to a safe distance. He gestured and chattered at the gorillas,
and seemed to be telling them off. He got them to sheepishly stand in the village
square. Then he beckoned a few of the surviving gibbons down from the trees.
The chimps had gone on to the tea shop, where they were
having a party. Charlie convinced them to come out and wait on the green, too.
You wanted to know who had caused the explosion, and the chimps all pointed to
one of their number, who looked guilty about the whole thing. And so the
monkeys (or apes) all waited patiently on the green to be picked up by the
authorities.
So another successful mission. You got the situation at the
research centre under control, rounded up the errant monkeys (or apes) and
found out who caused the explosion. And you decided to recruit Charlie into the
A-Gents, codenamed: A-Gent Ape.
