"Tranq 'em, grab 'em, stick 'em in the van. Any others?"
"Just some pig passed out in the family room."
The guy with the walkie talkie could have been Yakuza, but he was dressed too tastfully for that. He could have been some high level secret government agent if you looked over his clothing and the expensive-looking radio transceiver that was mainly concealed under his jacket.
"Probably a pet. Tranq it, tag it, and throw it into the animal trailer." The agent frowned slightly. "Hurry up people. We're on a timetable now."
"Why grab this boy?" asked another agent, apparently not realizing he was speaking aloud.
"ID as Ranma Saotome, superior martial artist. Borderline recruit though - apparently can't watch his mouth. Deciding factor at the scene is that he was having sex with three girls at the same time and apparently exhausted all three of them. AND still required three tranq darts to stop."
"Ah," said the lesser agent. "Gotcha. See why having that in the genepool would be a plus."
"Just doing our part," answered the senior agent, rationalizing the other's chattiness as being from nerves.
"Mfffff," said Ranma, clawing his way out of a deep slumber. Strange room. What was... oh yeah. First Kasumi, then Nabiki, then another gal had shown up...
So why was he in a metal room with some old Army cots and a buncha sleeping girls?
ding went a panel in the wall, revealing that the panel was actually some kind of computer monitor or TV screen. It flashed a cheerful green color.
"Welcome to Habitat 4. Your government, in cooperation with allied governments, have provided these shelters for the continuance of the human species in the case of an emergency. In such an event, various individuals screened for genetic difficulties and chosen for a wide variety of accomplishments or abilities would be placed within these shelters to allow for their survival, as well as the survival of the species."
"Wha?" asked Ranma, coming fully awake. "So the meteors hit?"
"-are currently in Block C, level 24, corridor D," said the pleasant voice from the TV. "Please wait until a signal has been given before leaving your Block of the Habitat. Personnel and authorities are likely still dealing with the primary and secondary effects of the disaster."
"Waitaminute," said Ranma. "Stop. Go back."
"-security precaution, travel between levels is restricted," continued the female voice. "At the ends of each residential corridor-"
"HEY!" said Ranma. "Pause. Stop. Halt."
"-where you can fill water bottles. Bathing areas are located-"
"why couldn't pops have taught me some computer martial arts," complained Ranma.
"-station. Please refrain from smoking, fighting, utilizing psychic powers or magical attacks, or engaging in destructive martial arts battles until authorized. Message will repeat in ten minutes."
"Aw hell, what am I supposed to do in the meantime?" asked Ranma.
