 Session Start: Tue Feb 18 20:03:25 2003

<ST> Last time we had part of the group in the DW, looking for info, and part - MC, Moira, Stormbringer, Francois & AC outside,

<ST> Stormbringer fired a shot, and the car blew up.

MC_Farstrider noted that he did what he was asked to do.

AC_Newton looks in horror at the car.

MC_Farstrider starts chanting to concentrate on the spirits and people in the car

<ST> (MC: I think we determined that the car was occupied by a driver, Marcello and Agent Grey)

MC_Farstrider (Spirit1/Life1/Prime1/Mind1 scan of the car for survivors)

<ST> (MC: Well, you don't get any life signs, I'm afraid)

<AC_Newton> It...blew up?

<MC_Farstrider> how abou Spirit?

<Francois_Dupres> (Spirit 1 to peak in the other side ST)

<ST> (MC nothing, I'm afraid)

<MC_Farstrider> any wraiths?

<ST> (Fran: You don't feel anything)

<ST> (MC: No Wraiths either)

<Francois_Dupres> (to peak for me means, to see on the other side of the Gauntlet, in this case, the material world)

AC_Newton takes out a scanner and scans the remains of the car, too - nothing

AC_Newton starts to cry

<Hannibal_Golux> (Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mock the departed.)

<Marcello_Keagan> 'lo. I'll try to get my dice bot up and running..

<ST> (Fran: Yup. As I said, you don't get any life signs or info for Spirit)

<ST> (Marcello please do so!)

<MC_Farstrider> did the Prime scan produce anything

AC_Newton looks heartbroken to MC and Fran

<AC_Newton> I didn't want them to die!

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: sure, but how is the scene looking like

<ST> (MC: Nope, nothing on Prime either)

<ST> (Fran: Well, it looks like a thorought ruined car. It really looks blown up...)

<ST> (Fran: And you get the impression that the cavalry might be coming soon...)

<Marcello_Keagan> roll 3 d10

tembot --> "Marcello_Keagan rolls 3#d10 and gets 7, 1, 4."

<Marcello_Keagan> Bingo. It works. Temporary solution

<ST> (Ah! Marcello: You are perfect :-)

Marcello_Keagan knows

<Hannibal_Golux> (Marc: cool)

<MC_Farstrider> If there is no sign of anything at all -- it could have been a rdio controlled car no passengers. I'm thinking they detected the tear in the gauntlet and sent a decoy

<ST> (MC: I could check if it was mentioned the last time, but AFAIK there were three persons in it)

<Marcello_Keagan> Just type roll <quantity of dice> <type of die (in this case d10)>

<ST> (MC: It was the right time and place, thus there should have been Marcello, Grey & a driver in there)

AC_Newton is still absolutely dumbfounded...

<Francois_Dupres> (Mind 1 Spirit 1 rote to sense if there is residual feeling on the wreck)

<ST> (Fran: Still looking into realspace?

<Francois_Dupres> roll 3 d10

tembot --> "Francois_Dupres rolls 3#d10 and gets 3, 7, 8."

<MC_Farstrider> I tried that too

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: yes)

<Marcello_Keagan> hmm I might give it a better name :)

<ST> (Fran: If yes, there are a bunch of HITMarks closing in. - 8 of them...)

tembot is now known as Diebot

<Hannibal_Golux> (marc: call it Son_of_Dicebot)

Diebot is now known as Son_Of_Dicebot

<Hannibal_Golux> (Huzzah!)

<MC_Farstrider> I think we might want to return to the ship

<Francois_Dupres> yes we need to evac

<ST> (Fran: They seem to have sensory gear attached that is not standard issue, and one person in orange accompanies them.

AC_Newton still stands in shock

<AC_Newton> I never killed anyone I knew before...

<Francois_Dupres> We run out of here NOW. There's a Voider with a squad of hitMark

AC_Newton doesn't seem to hear Francois

Francois_Dupres grabd Acey and tries to force her to follow

MC_Farstrider reaches into the ether and retrievs her broom

AC_Newton follows Francois, but she seems totally horrified

<Asm0dai> (me will be back in 10 or so minutes.. GO EARTH team :))

<ST> (Asmo: Ok)

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 6, 4, 4, 6, 3."

<MC_Farstrider> climbs on, pulling Moira with her and heads for the ship

<ST> (The enemy is closing in)

Francois_Dupres tries to hurry

<Teora> People hurry up. They seem to have extra-dim sensors!

<MC_Farstrider> At the ship: knock on door

Teora opens the hatch.

<MC_Farstrider> Can u beam them here?

MC_Farstrider and Moira enter ship

<Teora> I sense jamming signals alonge the perimeter. I do not dare to activate the transmitter

MC_Farstrider summons an air elemental.

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: Are we still far of the Meteor?)

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 6, 7, 9, 5, 8."

<ST> (The HITmarks open fire ^_^)

<ST> (Not far, maybe 50 m)

<Hannibal_Golux> (This is gonna smart)

<Francois_Dupres> (Do I have time to erect a shield ?)

MC_Farstrider directs it to blow the attackers away from here

<ST> (well, try ^_^)

<Francois_Dupres> (you mean hurt Han ;) )

<ST> (Fran: It's going "ouch" ^_^)

<Hannibal_Golux> ( :) )

<Francois_Dupres> (Spirit 3 to warp the ephemerial material as a shield around AC and i)

<Francois_Dupres> roll 3 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Francois_Dupres rolls 3#d10 and gets 4, 9, 5."

<ST> Ok. 2 sux for that...

<ST> (Thinks 8 Hitmarks, to shorten let's see how many will hit (diff 6))

<ST> roll 8 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "ST rolls 8#d10 and gets 2, 3, 6, 6, 8, 6, 9, 6."

<Francois_Dupres> (it's cremation for me guys, not burial TIA

-_-)

<ST> 6 of them hit ^_^

<Hannibal_Golux> (That's gonna hurt in the morning)

MC_Farstrider summons an earth elmental

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 8, 8, 9, 3, 2."

<Marvin_Black> (Please say "Bzzzt! Yahoooo!" ;) )

<MC_Farstrider> 3 sux

MC_Farstrider directs it to block the fire from the attackers

<Francois_Dupres> (no time for dogding now I fear ^^)

<MC_Farstrider> (get inbetween the party and the attackers)

<ST> Well, the outside party feels things going black ^_^

<ST> *switch to DW, Asmo, Marv & Hanni*

<Hannibal_Golux> (What the hell were we doing?)

<Marcello_Keagan> (getting some data)

Asm0dai is running towards the data centre

<Marvin_Black> (Waiting for our demise. ;) )

Asm0dai is writing attack procedures as he runs...

<ST> Asmo: You seem to have tripped some alarm

<Hannibal_Golux> (How far along were we?)

Asm0dai comms the rest...

<ST> (Hanni: Within the construct... Well, appoachung the data storage)

<Asm0dai> people we are gonna have trouble!

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK)

<Hannibal_Golux> What's up?

Marvin_Black follows Asmo and Hanni, his black gun readied. "Just as I said"

<Asm0dai> Seems that someone has tripped an alarm

Asm0dai checks the ammo indicator on the mjollnir

<ST> (The formerly blueish green corridors have red blazing alarm lights running along the walls)

<Hannibal_Golux> Great...

<Marvin_Black> Why does no one ever listen to me?

<Hannibal_Golux> ...if we can't get anything let's blow this place... literally!

<ST> A swarm of spiky balls appears from the end of the corridor

<Hannibal_Golux> Um. Run.

<ST> They blink in yellow and red

<Asm0dai> We need the data !

<ST> The swarm (3 dozens) home in on the group

Asm0dai puts up a shield to enclose them...

<Marvin_Black> I'd say jack out!

<Hannibal_Golux> OK. Asmo, you and Marv hold them back... I'll see if I can eyeball the data.

<Asm0dai> Hannibal!

<ST> Now behind you from the other side of the corridor, another swarm of those things appear

<Asm0dai> get any data you can on Technocracy - Pentex ops!

Asm0dai corridors off the wall with a force field

<ST> They try to cut of your escape ways

Hannibal_Golux starts searching for the data, not looking to download, just read... real quickly.

<ST> Now the wall between the forcefield starts to glow in an eery yellow-gree... It seems the structure of the wall is rebuilding, starting to form some opening...

<Hannibal_Golux> (Int+Computers roll to get data?)

<ST> Hanni: You can always try^_^)

<Hannibal_Golux> (read: get as find...methinks)

<Hannibal_Golux> roll 10 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Hannibal_Golux rolls 10#d10 and gets 5, 4, 6, 9, 1, 2, 8, 6, 1, 6."

<Hannibal_Golux> (diff?)

<ST> (6 - because of Comp Apt)

<ST> Hanni: You managed to secure one dataline and suck away some data streams there.

<Marvin_Black> Let's get the hell out of this hell and back to the hell of Earth

<ST> The walls break up and a new swarm of those things break through

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, how's our bombardement looking? Time to keep checking? Or time to run?)

<ST> You also feel your field of vision going black...

<ST> (Hanni: Ok... Your turn ^_1 )

Asm0dai thinks what are the chances for the defenses to have haywire programming since they are hittign the wall

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<Asm0dai> roll 4 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Asm0dai rolls 4#d10 and gets 6, 1, 7, 2."

<ST> Asmo: You have just been simply run over...

<Asm0dai> (hmmm 1 sux)

<Hannibal_Golux> Computer! End simulation!

Francois_Dupres is somehow not surprised

<Asm0dai> (what simulation... this is the real one... at least if i remember right)

<ST> (All people find themselves in the Meteor, the same place they were when Hanni threw his PDA against ther wall

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, people, that's about as bad as we can expect things to get... hopefully.

<Asm0dai> (hmm didn't we conclude there wasn't time to do a sim?)

AC_Newton shakes her head dizzily.

Francois_Dupres looks sad.

<Francois_Dupres> That was bad form, Mr.Golux.

Asm0dai thinks that our side wasn't too hard...

<ST> (Asmo: Well, obviously our computer specialist thought otherwise ^_^)

Marvin_Black sighs "Why is everybody making fun of me? What's happening?"

<Asm0dai> maybe we should give backup to people on earth side

Hannibal_Golux looks at Asmodai.

<Hannibal_Golux> I lied. If you thought you were doing the real thing you would be performing to the best of your abilities.

AC_Newton is still very shaken.

<AC_Newton> So ...it didn't blow up after all? They are not really dead?

<Marvin_Black> I say leave it be... But no one listens... I'll jack out next time...

<Asm0dai> (Okay, a 45 year old VA, that does DW since he was 13 cannot notice when a simulation starts !?)

<Hannibal_Golux> No, Newton... But you should be prepared for the possibility.

Asm0dai looks a bit ballistic.

AC_Newton looks utterly hurt at Hannibal. How could he make her go through a thing like this?

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: To prepare you for the worst.

<AC_Newton> I just know that I can't take the risk of killing those people!

AC_Newton doesn't want them to die!

<Asm0dai> We won't die...

<Marvin_Black> No.. The worst case would be a lightning striking the mainframe and roasting us...

<Asm0dai> we will take care of this...

<Hannibal_Golux> Newton, you must be prepared to take whatever measures are necessary. Deal with the emotion.

<AC_Newton> Hanni: I never had to kill people I *knew* before!

<Asm0dai> (i am still thinking that i would have noted that it was a goddamn sim...)

<Hannibal_Golux> Marv: I thought a deus ex might be a little extreme.

AC_Newton is very obviously thoroughly shaken.

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: But killing strangers is okay?

Asm0dai thinks that his surprise would clear the situation with the defense germs...

<Hannibal_Golux> (Asmo: Face it, the "kid" pulled one over on you)

<AC_Newton> Well... Not really okay... But it doesn't hurt as much...

AC_Newton still doesn't understand why she did indeed hurt so much. And now she felt almost euphoric?

<Asm0dai> (You wanna go to war, kid?)

<Francois_Dupres> Mr.Golux, next time I prefer that you cut the lie, I really dislike being deceived.

<Hannibal_Golux> It wouldn't have been a very effective sim if you didn't think you were really in danger, now would it?

<Marvin_Black> Do you now listen to me?

<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin, while I agree that everyone must prepare for the worst, please be aware that I deliberately set the danger level higher on that.

<Asm0dai> (I STILL PROTEST ON THE PLAYER LEVEL NOT ON THE CHARACTER LEVEL!)

<Hannibal_Golux> With any luck things will not get quite that bad.

<Marvin_Black> Higher is not high enough.. Face it we are doomed in there...

<Hannibal_Golux> (Asmo: on a player level... chill. It was a bit of fun...)

<ST> (Asmo: Well, and how what the no access to the Spirit world you pulled with MC? She dealt with it, too ^_^)

<Asm0dai> (On the player level i was saving farstrider from a messy death... and i think that this was unnecessary. And i still would have noted the difference from a sim and a real thing... Grumble rumble, grumble)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Asmo: Don't let it bug you... it was a bit of fun, accept if for what it was intended to be)

<Asm0dai> (Ah... Don't worry... I still think you should have let me know...)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Why? Hannibal has no reason to.)

<MC_Farstrider> I'm confused -- what's going on?

<Asm0dai> (Ah, just play on before I start argueing... That would be silly and unnecessary...)

<AC_Newton> MC: Hanni did the sim after all

AC_Newton wipes away the remaining tears.

<MC_Farstrider> sim?? whats a sim?

<Marvin_Black> Nothing but me proofed right... We will die...

<Hannibal_Golux> (MC: Hannibal ran the simulation of the assault when he smashed his PDA against the wall. Everything was virtual...)

<Asm0dai> Yep... I am starting to agree with you, Marv... At least some of us will die...

Asm0dai looks daggers at Hannibal.

AC_Newton will see to it that we save that Thig and the Agent, too.

MC_Farstrider is still confused as to how she got translated into a computer program without spirit or mind magick?

Hannibal_Golux grins widely at Asm0dai.

<Marvin_Black> Oh... Someone agrees with me.. Now I'm sure Death is close und this world will face its end

Asm0dai is itching to do a fractal pattern attack on this freak.

<Asm0dai> Okay, let's go together and be depressive.

Asm0dai pats Marv on the back and heads back to the Web.

<Asm0dai> When you are ready, please ring me at the Spy's Demise...

Asm0dai heads out.

Marvin_Black sighs

<Asm0dai> (Sorry, I have a screaming kid brother on my hands)

<Marvin_Black> I shouldn't have come back here... Why is my life such a mess? Why?

<Hannibal_Golux> MC: Yep. Right where we started.

<Marcello_Keagan> (and I am still in the hands of those evil Techies *g*)

<ST> (Marcello, you are going to be saved!)

<MC_Farstrider> alright so we learned that strombringer accepted a command to fire on the car instead of sorting the engine

<Marvin_Black> (I rather fear the party will kill itself spareng some work for the Techhies ;) )

<Hannibal_Golux> So, now that we know what the worst case is, let's go out there and get that data and save that Thig for real.

<MC_Farstrider> perhaps it needs to be taught different names for the effects?

Marvin_Black looks really depressed

<AC_Newton> MC: That would be a good idea!

<MC_Farstrider> Hanni: I suggest that the command to "blast" require a confirmation.

AC_Newton is determined not to let Grey get killed.

<Marvin_Black> What about an Armageddon command? It would be easier then waiting for the world to end by itself

<AC_Newton> So... How exactly are we going about it now?

<MC_Farstrider> if you mean to "fry" and get the requestr to confirm you can cancel the request and issue the correct one

<Hannibal_Golux> MC: You may be right.

AC_Newton looks a bit helpless. This horrendous sim crush her self-confidence quite a bit.

Moira offers a supportive hug

<MC_Farstrider> It's got 3 main effects - hide, "fly electronics", and "blast"

<Asm0dai> (Ah, I still wonder why I can use these simple psychology tricks to stop a screaming toddler in his tracks :)

<MC_Farstrider> Marv: It does.

<Marvin_Black> Why do we bother? We have seen how we will end...

<Marcello_Keagan> (Asmo: like threats ?)

<ST> (Asmo: Hm. Try a soundproof box)

<Marvin_Black> (Forces 2 will do the trick)

<Asm0dai> (Nope, simple hugging and talking interesting stuff... it works great :))

<ST> (I would go for Forces 2, too)

<Marvin_Black> (Sounds like Mind 2 effect.. NWO style)

<Marcello_Keagan> ((Sounds like threats and physical abuse to me *g*))

<MC_Farstrider> Hanni: perhaps that effect names should be more representitive?

<ST> (Okay, we should try to get Marcello before he is Conditioned to Level 7)

<Marcello_Keagan> (finally)

<Hannibal_Golux> MC: Yeah. Zap, Zip and Zero.

MC_Farstrider does that (hugging and talking) with alzheimer's step mother.

<ST> (I didn't forget about you :)

AC_Newton stands in the middle of the Meteor's command center and looks somewhat lost - not really the space hero she always aspires to be.

<AC_Newton> So... What shall we do now?

<MC_Farstrider> AC: What names would you find helpful for the robot's effects?

AC_Newton looks at MC in bewilderment.

<MC_Farstrider> I'd suggest hide, fry and blast with confirmation on fry and blast

<Hannibal_Golux> MC: I told you Zap (blast), Zip (EMP) and Zero (hide)

<Marcello_Keagan> (me thought the Zap, Zip and Zero was actually cool..)

<AC_Newton> MC, well, we have to take care that he doesn't indiscriminately guns down people.

<MC_Farstrider> yes thats why the confirmation

<AC_Newton> Well, you and Hannibal are the ones responsible for the AI... Make it so!

<MC_Farstrider> Aye, Captain.

<Hannibal_Golux> Storm: You are not to Zap anyone who is in the vicinity of our target. Understand?

AC_Newton wipes away another tear that escaped her eyes.

MC_Farstrider hugs AC supportively.

<Hannibal_Golux> (Did Stormbringer acknowledge my command?)

<Stormbringer> Acknowledged

Marvin_B looks around "Why am I talking? No one is interested in what I have to say... It's just me... No one important..." sighs

<Stormbringer> I am not to Zap anyone who is in the vicinity of our target.

<Francois_Dupres> AC: that was just a sim, don't let it bother you too much.

<Hannibal_Golux> There you go, Moonchild, he's all trained up. See? He's got enough combat awareness and intelligence to use his weaponry strategically.

<AC_Newton> Fran: I'm trying to. But it felt so real... I mean... I talked to that guy... And he seemed sort of decent, too... And then I thought he was dead...

<MC_Farstrider> ok -- zap (with a command not to zap in vicinity of target) zip (fry) zero (hide)

<Francois_Dupres> AC: you learned something today, just remember it.

<Marvin_B> AC: Perhaps you now understand some of the pain the world brings in for everyone...

<Stormbringer> Acknowledged. Zap (with a command not to zap in vicinity of target) zip (fry) zero (hide)

<Francois_Dupres> Marvin: Shut up, you are not helping.

AC_Newton looks teary eyed at Marvin-

<AC_Newton> Fran: Yes.... It *hurt*

Hannibal_Golux takes AC_Newton gently by the shoulders.

<Marvin_B> Ok... I'll shut my mouth.. It won't make a difference... It doesn't matter anyway... No one listens... Just pretend I'm not here just as you always do... It's just me... I will be quiet... You won't even notice me... Nevermind no one every did notice me...

AC_Newton sniffles.

<Francois_Dupres> I hope you saw what effect your sim had, Mr.Golux, everybody is upset.

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: You shouldn't feel so bad about this. Behind his doom and gloom, Marvin has a point. Death is a part of life. You must deal with it.

<Francois_Dupres> Marv, you have a gun, don't you?

<Marvin_B> No real one...

<Francois_Dupres> Well, summon one and blow up your brain if you want to whine, otherwise remain silent and be constructive.

AC_Newton remains silent now. But she wonders a bit why this event did affect her indeed *so* much.

<Hannibal_Golux> Fran: And if this was real? Would it hurt any less? In fact, everyone should take comfort in the fact that it wasn't real, but remember how to deal with the emotions, should it turn out to be real.

<Marcello_Keagan> ((methinks it's because she felt sorry for the poor Thig *g*))

<Hannibal_Golux> (methinks it wasn't the Thig she was thinking about. Tsk tsk)

Marvin_B sits down his holographic body and looks depressed. "As you wish.. I'll be quiet now... Just ignore me... I don't care" sigh...

<ST> (Hanni: Hehe)

<Hannibal_Golux> Marv: In case you hadn't noticed, I have just taken your side with young Newton here. Clearly you are not being ignored.

<Francois_Dupres> Mr.Golux, what annoyed me was to be played as a fool, but that's another matter, but obviously not everyone is as cold-hearted as you or me in this ship. This is my point, nothing more, nothing less.

MC_Farstrider offers "emergancy preparedness" potions to all who want them.

<Hannibal_Golux> Played for a fool, you think? If you knew it were a simulation I doubt the danger would have felt as real. What kind of preparation is that?

<Asm0dai> (I gotta go feed my brother... and myself :))

Marvin_B sighs and does his best in looking really depressed and to be as ignorable as possible.

<Asm0dai> (I'll probably be back before the showdown time)

<Hannibal_Golux> (We'll write in capitals, if we need you)

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 5, 8, 4, 6, 9."

<AC_Newton> MC: Thanks, but I think I will have a huge hot chocolate...

<Francois_Dupres> Are you practicing sports, Mr.Golux?

<ST> (Asmo: Ok)

<Hannibal_Golux> Fran: Sports?

<Francois_Dupres> Yes, sports

<Hannibal_Golux> Fran: What kind of sports?

<AC_Newton> I'll be back right away, but I really need a hot chocolate now....

<Francois_Dupres> any kind

AC_Newton disappears to the ship's kitchen/dining room and reappears about 4 minutes later with a huge mug of steaming hot chocolate.

<Marvin_B> AC: And do not mind the microbes that died when the milk was heated up to be drinkable.

<Hannibal_Golux> My sports are mental, not physical.

<Francois_Dupres> I wanted to draw a parallele between sports training and the sim.

<Hannibal_Golux> (MB: LOL)

AC_Newton looks daggers at Marvin.

<AC_Newton> The microbes were never introduced to me!

<Hannibal_Golux> What we are about to do is not a game. It is not sport. It is life or death. There is a difference, Francois. A very big difference.

Marvin_B mumbles "When will they understand that all life's about is Death?"

AC_Newton sips on her hot choc (with a heap of sweet scream topping it).

<AC_Newton> So. What shall we do now?

<Marvin_B> (Sweet scream? Are you suffering from Marvinonitis, AC?)

<Hannibal_Golux> (I can hear the screaming coco! Make it stop screaming!)

<Francois_Dupres> Mr.Golux, so I am so dumb, that I can't see the use of a sim? I am so dumb that I can't see the opportunity of a training session at 100%?

<AC_Newton> (Marv: LOL. I needed something *sweet*)

<Marcello_Keagan> ((me suggests saving the Thig, before he gets conditioning level 7 (hmm, sounds like a brand of hair conditioner))

<AC_Newton> (Marcello: LOL)

<Hannibal_Golux> Fran: There was no implication towards you directly. But I thought that everyone could benefit from it. Just look at Newton, here. Even after she found out it was a sim, she is still shaken. Imagine if it *was* real.

Marvin_B mumbles on "To bring something into life something has to die... And even that was brought to life dies soon enough.. All just Death, decay and pain..."

AC_Newton doesn't want to think something like this would happen in reality!

<Hannibal_Golux> (Marcello: We should prob wait a little bit for Asmo to return before we rescue you)

<ST> (Sounds logical ^_^)

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: Things like that happen all the time in reality.

AC_Newton studies the swirls of the *cream* in the cocoa...

<Hannibal_Golux> (Phew! It's so much quieter now.)

AC_Newton looks up to Hannibal, but doesn't say a thing. She looks somewhat preoccupied.

<Marcello_Keagan> roll 3 d10 for testing something out

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Marcello_Keagan rolls 3#d10 for testing something out and gets 8, 9, 9."

<ST> (!)

MC_Farstrider notes AC's area of study... fortune telling?

AC_Newton frowns.

<Francois_Dupres> (you wasted a good roll Marcello -_-)

<AC_Newton> Err, not really, Moonchild... I was just thinking...

<Marvin_B> Life means pain, nothing else.. This world sucks...

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, Marvin, you drive a rather large nail through the situation. Perhaps this is the reason people blank you often from the conversation?

<Francois_Dupres> Marvin, express your inner wish then, just do it.

AC_Newton absentmindedly continues to sip her chocolate.

<Marvin_B> Oh.. you get used to be ignored over time and to the pain of life... But it doesn't make it better...

<Hannibal_Golux> (ASM0DAI! MORK CALLING ORSEN! COME IN ORSEN... Um, I mean, IRC CALLING ASM0DAI!)

Francois_Dupres tries to find a watch.

<ST> (Hehe. But yes, it would be practical if he'd return)

<Francois_Dupres> Don't we have a business to finish?

<Hannibal_Golux> Yes, but Asmodai appears to be...

AC_Newton starts and looks at Francois.

<AC_Newton> Ahm, yes

Hannibal_Golux waves his hand in front of a static image of Asm0dai.

<AC_Newton> I'm sorry, did I miss anything?

<Hannibal_Golux> ...somewhere else.

<Marvin_B> You mean we have to be finished off?

<Hannibal_Golux> (MB: LOL)

<ST> (Just got a note from Asmo he tries to be back ASAP)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Okie-dokie)

<ST> (I think I should swich to our dear captive Thig for a change ^_^)

Hannibal_Golux agrees.

<ST> (Well, Dr.Keagan in reality is in his cell. Agent Grey is still ...talking to him to figure out some things.)

<AgentGrey> So, Dr.Keagan... What can you tell me about you colleagues? I'm sure they have to be up to something.

<Marcello_Keagan> Probably, and I have no idea what...

<AgentGrey> You still haven't told me what exactly you were looking after when we managed to catch you.

<Marcello_Keagan> I was just gathering a little intel.

<AgentGrey> Hm... This is not really too specific...

AgentGrey smiles noncommitally.

<AgentGrey> So you tried to break into the Construct's mainframe to find out everything about our defenses for your group?

<Marcello_Keagan> My group had nothing to do with this, I was working on my own, for my own reasons.

<AgentGrey> On your own?

AgentGrey looks at the Thig and checks a scanner that doubles as lie-detector.

<Marcello_Keagan> roll 7 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Marcello_Keagan rolls 7#d10 and gets 1, 6, 3, 2, 6, 6, 4."

<Marcello_Keagan> (Pretty decent, even if I was lying)

<ST> (^_^)

<Marcello_Keagan> But Kevin, I have already written down all the things you wanted to know and I want to tell.

<AgentGrey> Well, I still have the impression that there are some things you chose to leave unsaid. And these might be interesting, too...

<Marcello_Keagan> Like which things, Kevin?

<AgentGrey> Like some of your motivations. You mentioned part, sure. But it sounds a bit too well-rehearsed.

<Marcello_Keagan> Let's just say that I wanted to be open-minded in deciding whether the Union is my enemy or not.

<AgentGrey> Well, we are only the enemies of those who endanger the well-being of the Masses.

<Marcello_Keagan> That I still don't believe completely. The Union is also the enemy of those who the Union can't understand.

<AgentGrey> That's not fully true. We had to defend ourselves against the terrorist attacks of Reality Deviants, of course. They usually barge in, try to destroy whatever they manage to destroy and then escape, basking in their glory that they dealt us another blow...

<Marcello_Keagan> I've heard a few of my fellows say about the same from the Union..

<AgentGrey> Unfortunately we get a lot of bad propaganda by "your fellows". I guess most of it is because they are jealous that we keep on shaping more and more of the world according to our views.

<Marcello_Keagan> Hey, Kevin, could you please fetch me another cup of coffee...and a new pencil ?

<MC_Farstrider> Nice... he has a first name and has his mirror shades off.

<Marcello_Keagan> (lol)

<ST> (Well, I think we should now see to it that Asmodai returns...)

<AgentGrey> Well, you have been cooperative so far, of course...

<Hannibal_Golux> (Hmm. I wonder if we should be concerned that our Thig is on a firstname basis with his captor. Either he's too friendly or his captor is really dumb. :) )

<ST> (me grins)

MC_Farstrider thinks it's nice to see a NWO op with a name other than Agent ;)

<MC_Farstrider> (always makes me think of the Matrix)

<Asm0dai> (They had names...)

<MC_Farstrider> Of course the Matrix is a DW kind of place.

<Hannibal_Golux> Right, so are we all ready to go do this thing for real?

<ST> (So are you going to free Marcello or do you leave him in the Construct?)

<Marvin_B> Can one be ready for damnation?

<MC_Farstrider> Is he fully in the real world or does he need to gotten back to his body first?

<Hannibal_Golux> (Nah... I think we should all just go play darts or something instead... ;) )

Marvin_B thinks going back to sleep would be a nice alternative.

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, Grey should be leading him out to a waiting car, as per the sim

<ST> (MC well, the Construct is basically in the real world. it's computers & so have a representation in the DW, though)

<MC_Farstrider> So he's in the real world

<Francois_Dupres> (what was the last entry ? I think I was frozen for a while before being kicked)

<MC_Farstrider> (An OOC question on cosmology: is the Meteor traveling in the Near Umbra and landing in the Penumbra or is it traveling in realspace and we need to cross over to the Umbra?)

<ST> (Well, currently we are in the penumbra. I hope ^_^ - Well, I'd call it Etherspace, without worrying about Umbras...)

<Francois_Dupres> (You hope? Oh boy .. ^^)

<MC_Farstrider> Ok, so we're in the ship and its in the Penumbra of earth.

<ST> (Fran: I always use Etherspace... The Umbras get me confused all the time)

<MC_Farstrider> (Well, that is an issue of cosmology.)

<ST> (I only use Subdimensions, not cosmology ^_^ Well, and for the Etherboys, there is Etherspace...)

<MC_Farstrider> MC has a 4 in cosmology and a specialty in the Otherworlds.

<ST> (MC: Well, then you are way better in Cosmology then I can ever hope to get... ^_^)

MC_Farstrider thought the term Etherspace corresponded to the Deep Umbra (passed the Horizon) where the Umbrae become one.

<ST> (MC: In my Etherspace chronicles I never actually worried about that, I have to admit.)

<Marcello_Keagan> (Don't ask how it works, it will work then. Just magic *g*)

<ST> (Marcello: Exactly ^_^)

<MC_Farstrider> (We seem to be using a Near Umbra that is different for Awakened folk depending on their own Paradigm.)

<ST> (MC: Well, at least so it works in our P&P sessions. We never really explained that stuff, it just *was*)

<MC_Farstrider> (So MC can ride her unicorn on the Moon, while AC needs a spacesuit.)

<ST> (MC: yep)

<Marvin_B> (Yeah.. RT caused some confusion by doing something similar *g*)

<ST> (Marv: RT *always* causes confusion!)

<Marvin_B> (naaah... You just do not understand him ;) )

<AC_Newton> So... Will we go to that Construct now?

<Marvin_B> Do we have to?

<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin? Don't you *want* to die?

<AC_Newton> If we want to save this Thig and... Well, yes.

<Marvin_B> I face Death every day, but normally I do not invite him... That was up till I met you folks

<Hannibal_Golux> Glad to be of service, Marvin, soon-to-be-dead buddy...

<Marvin_B> At least we will meet in afterlife... I hope it will be better than the real thing.. But I doubt it

AC_Newton thinks she doesn't want anyone to die. At least none of the persons she knew.

Francois_Dupres waves bye to Marvin

<Hannibal_Golux> I think 'knew' is the operative word according to Marvin, here.

Hannibal_Golux winks at Marvin with a cheeky grin.

<AC_Newton> ^_^

Marvin_B sighs "I want to go to sleep again... But not the eternal one..."

<Francois_Dupres> asl MC to brew you a sleep potion -_-

<Hannibal_Golux> I'm surprised at you, Marvin. I would have thought you'd say something like: 'Every time we close our eyes and lie down to sleep, we invite Death to come and check up on us.' or something.

AC_Newton fetches another hot chocolate.

<Marvin_B> He doesn't need to check upon us.. He is around all the time.. .I just try to be ignored by him alike everyone else... Enough pain in life.. I don't want to know what tornment comes after this life.

MC_Farstrider wonders whats been decided.

AC_Newton returns and sips at the new mug. She still looks a bit thoughtful.

MC_Farstrider sits by AC.

<Hannibal_Golux> I think Marvin has committed himself to death, Newton has committed herself to another cocoa, while I'm left committing myself to an institute. Are we going to do this before time runs out?

AC_Newton looks at Moonchild.

MC_Farstrider asks what she's thinking about.

Asm0dai has logged out of the web and is pouring himself a stout... He has left his channel on the DW open for any incoming calls.

<Hannibal_Golux> ...and Asm0dai has committed himself to a drinking habit.

<AC_Newton> Well, we just have to be careful, have we?

MC_Farstrider agrees

<Hannibal_Golux> That was the lesson my sim was meant to teach you all. So let's go be careful out there... Asmo? Marvin? Are you ready to go? Stormbringer, systems check. Newton, Francois, Moonchild, are you all ready to go?

<Marvin_B> Ready? How can one be ready to run into his doom with wide opened eyes?

Francois_Dupres nods

<MC_Farstrider> Ok -- we planned on walking to the Construct, yes?

<Hannibal_Golux> MB: Because you've already done it once...

Asm0dai finishes his brandy and logs on starting for the rendezvous point. He takes the form of the all time favourite hard drinking, chain smokin, depressive mage in a brown trenchcoat...

<Hannibal_Golux> (Asmo: Drinking a brandy *and* stout? You really do have a drinking habit.)

<Asm0dai> (Aargh, I forgot I wrote a stout! Silly ol me :)

Asm0dai arrives at the rendezvous point...

<Marvin_B> Did I have a choice? Nope...

<Asm0dai> Hello gentlemen...

MC_Farstrider asks if summoning some unicorns for transport would be helpfull?

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: I'll reprepare my summoning spell.)

<AC_Newton> I think I'm ready...I hope.

MC_Farstrider restates her warning on the use of elementals.

<ST> (Fran ok)

Marvin_B goes back to the DW and looks around.. and of course sighs.

<Asm0dai> hi marv

Asm0dai lights another smoke

<Marvin_B> Hi, oh fellow damned one...

<Asm0dai> We are all gonna die... aren't we? - I just wanted to stop you from saying that.

Asm0dai grins.

<Marvin_B> Why not tell the truth?

<Stormbringer> Operating within system parameters. Combat ready, sir!

<Asm0dai> Ah, well then.

MC_Farstrider asks if summoning some unicorns for transport would be helpfull?

AC_Newton feels somewhat ...funny. She is very excited about going...and still afraid, too.

<Asm0dai> at least i am gonan do soem damage for old time sake...

Asm0dai rings up Acey.

<Marvin_B> I smell bad luck coming up for some Techies.

AC_Newton doesn't want to ride any unicorns, thanks...

<AC_Newton> Asmo?

<Hannibal_Golux> Hey... now there's some positive thinking from our mascot pessemist.

<Asm0dai> Hi Acey... we are ready at this point. Send in the wannabe at your leisure.

<MC_Farstrider> Ok then.

MC_Farstrider steps out to the Penumbra and meditates a bit

<AC_Newton> Asmo: Well... Sure. So how are we going about it now? Like in that failed sim? I hope not.

Asm0dai is looking totally different... like a haggard, blond man in a brown trenchcoat, and a grey tie...

<Marvin_B> Positive? I'm talking about bad luck... If I'm going to my demise, I will make at least someone remember me...

<Asm0dai> Nahhh... if we listen to Marv we are all gonna die... so why should we worry... Cheer up, ol girl... You'll get out whole.

MC_Farstrider (Sensory scan -- Corr2/Prime1/Life1/Mind1/Spirit1)

<Asm0dai> Just concentrate on using the Meteor as a weapon. Leave it only if you have to...

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, I don't plan on dying today...

MC_Farstrider (Detecting for people/spirits not of our group as well as any non "muggle" people)

<ST> (MC: so far we still haven't actually moved towards that Construct. No one told me to bring the Meteor there ^_^

<Asm0dai> Oh, you are planning on running?

<AC_Newton> Asmo: I think I don't want to shoot that Construct down just like that

<Hannibal_Golux> So let's do this before it's too late, shall we? Agent Grey is expecting us.

AC_Newton blushes slightly. ^_^

<MC_Farstrider> I thought we'd decided on a stealth approach to rescue the Thig and Grey.

<Asm0dai> Acey... Get the Thig out and try not killing Grey. Though don't believe in anything he does.

<AC_Newton> So I shall just take the cloaked Meteor there and we'll simply catch the Thig and Agent Grey?

<MC_Farstrider> AC: Let me know when we've landed.

<Hannibal_Golux> MC: No, actually we need a big distraction so that we can get the data. It's just that in the big distraction we intend to really rescue the Thig.

Marvin_B stands there waiting.

<AC_Newton> MC: Sure

<MC_Farstrider> Thanks.

AC_Newton puts away her mug and sits down at the pilot's console, activating it.

MC_Farstrider watches AC -- marveling at the tech stuff.

<Asm0dai> Ah, and Acey... You'll do good... Cya at the Zeppelin deck after all this is done!

Asm0dai logs off.

<AC_Newton> It looks somewhat eerie how she steers the ship, as she doesn't use any joystick or similar means, just colourful projections of energy fields.

<Marvin_B> Tell her a last goodbye from me.

<Asm0dai> So Marv... Any last words?

<Marvin_B> Yeah... I didn't want to come along all the time!

<ST> (So, who stays on the Meteor now?)

Asm0dai waits for Grey to open the defenses... and lights another smoke...

<Asm0dai> (I am in the Web... and I want it no other way :))

MC_Farstrider and Moira are with AC.

<Hannibal_Golux> Last words: If I die I leave all my stuff to Elvis.

<Marvin_B> Oh.. Better last words: I knew it

Francois_Dupres shrugs.

<ST> (ASmo: You will get the signal, when Grey is in that car and we have just landed the Meteor)

<Asm0dai> Okay, just to remember what should be written on the places the fractals that were our conciousness lie... - Deadalus... got that?

<Deadalus> Yep... I'll name the fractals even if you bite it...

AC_Newton is very dedicated not to die - and not to kill either Grey or the Thig.

<Hannibal_Golux> Or... Last words: It's okay, they couldn't hit the Meteor at this dist...

MC_Farstrider is looking forward to consulting with the Doctor.

<ST> (The Meteor sweeps down just like a Meteor....)

Marvin_B is getting ready, picks his weird looking gun and waits

<AC_Newton> Too bad we can't simply take the whole car into the ship!

Francois_Dupres hopes AC did develop suicidal tendencies because of the sim.

AC_Newton is concentrated at the holographic displays.

<ST> (Fran: Naw. When piloting, AC actually knows what she is doing.)

MC_Farstrider chants her summoning chant.

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, everyone else should stay in safety. Send Stormbringer in to do all the fighting. Don't let anyone see you. View and instruct him remotely.

<Asm0dai> (My body is at home...)

MC_Farstrider asks Fran if he'd like a unicorn to ride?

<AC_Newton> MC: You talk to the robot?

<Francois_Dupres> MC: Er, no thanks.

AC_Newton will man the navigation console of the ship so that I can take her out right away when needed.

<MC_Farstrider> what do you want it to do?

Stormbringer whirrs his head around to look at AC_Newton, the he whirrs his head around to look at MC_Farstrider.

AC_Newton scans the perimeter of the Construct and lands well out of the sensor arrays.

<MC_Farstrider> Stormbringer: Status, please.

<Stormbringer> Combat ready!

<ST> (Unfortunately this means they are several hundred metres/yards away)

<MC_Farstrider> Thank you. - AC, SB says he's "combat ready"

<AC_Newton> Okay. We are on the ground.

Asm0dai throws his smoke away and grabs another one...

<ST> (You didn't feel anything when the ship landed)

<ST> roll 1 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "ST rolls a d10 and gets 2."

<MC_Farstrider> ok -- So whats the plan, AC?

<AC_Newton> We wait until the car shows up?

<MC_Farstrider> car?

<Asm0dai> (The one in which they'll be transporting the Thiggy. That is the deal we had with Grey.)

<AC_Newton> Well, I thought they wanted to get the Thig out there?

<Marvin_B> Why did you buy a spare ticket to hell for me anyway?

<MC_Farstrider> Umms. So you want to wait in the ship or meet the car?

Stormbringer charges his weapons in readiness and takes a combat pose ready for action. The only thing moving on him are a couple of blinking lights.

<ST> (BTW, 2 min after the Meteor landed, a black car leaves an underground garage under the Construct in about 1.4km distance

<ST> (Asmo: You get the message that the car left the construct)

<AC_Newton> I thought Hanni said not to take any chances?

<MC_Farstrider> So you're gonna beam them out of the car?

<Teora> MC: I would love to do that, but the perimenter is guarded

Hannibal_Golux comms the Meteor: "We're waiting on you guys, tell us when you've started the distraction, so we can begin our run."

<Teora> MC: I can't risk any teleport, lest they would either jam the signal or send in attackers via it.

<Asm0dai> Oh, hi honey...

MC_Farstrider so we need to be ready to intercept the car manually?

<AC_Newton> Hanni: The car is approaching... We have to wait until it's a little closer.

Asm0dai thinks of extuinguishing his cigarette on Hannibal but refrains and lights another one...

<AC_Newton> MC: That's why Stormbringer is here!

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: OK. Just let me know when you've released Stormbringer to reign his chaos...

<ST> (The car takes up speed and is now abot 900m away)

<Francois_Dupres> Shouldnt we lauch Stormbringer? He needs to get into position.

<AC_Newton> MC: What are you waiting for? I have to man the console her!

<Stormbringer> Ready for action!

<MC_Farstrider> He's gonna zip the car then we retrieve the people while he continues to the Construct invisible to do his thing?

<ST> (600m)

<ST> (500m)

<ST> (400m)

MC_Farstrider is truely puzzled.

<ST> (300m)

<ST> (200m)

<ST> (100m)

Francois_Dupres is nervous

<MC_Farstrider> Teora: we need to be out there.

<ST> (The car passes the position of the Meteor)

<MC_Farstrider> *sigh*

<Stormbringer> Target has passed!

<ST> (It's putting distance between itself and the ship.)

<ST> (200m)

<MC_Farstrider> AC: still want us to wait?

<ST> (300m)

<Francois_Dupres> MC launch the bot !

<AC_Newton> MC: I wait for you to take action!!!!

<ST> (400m)

AC_Newton has to man the ship!

<MC_Farstrider> SB: please zip the car.

<ST> (500m)

Stormbringer cloaks and launches.

<ST> (600m)

MC_Farstrider exits the ship.

<ST> (700m)

Stormbringer runs at full speed after the car.

<ST> (800m)

Moira follows

Stormbringer charges Zip.

Asm0dai is waiting for the defenses to fall...

<ST> (The car goes with about 120km/h)

Stormbringer attempts to Zip car.

<ST> (1000m)

Moira summons a unicorn for transportation.

<MC_Farstrider> oops.

<Stormbringer> (Does Storm need to roll anything to Zip? Zip only seeks to short outs its electrics - is the car still going?)

<ST> (The car is hit, but does not look damaged. It's rolling out, though. But it's now about 1100m away...)

<Francois_Dupres> AC, can you get us closer to the car with your ship?

<AC_Newton> Sure...

AC_Newton looks somewhat annoyed, but starts the Meteor again, floating over to the car.

<ST> (The ship is cloaked, by the way)

<Stormbringer> Assuming secondary objectives! Attacking Construct!

<ST> (The Construct is in 2.5 km distance from the car's position)

Stormbringer runs at full speed.

<ST> (There are some HITMarks pouring out of a side door.)

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: do i have a way too see MC and Moira's position?)

<ST> (Fran: She went out... I think with Life/Prime/Spirit you find her. Life/Prime for MC, Spirit/Prime for Moira)

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 10, 4, 3, 4, 7."

MC_Farstrider mounts unicorn, pulling Moira after her.

Stormbringer attacks the HITMarks with Zaps and Zips while Zeroed.

<ST> (Storm: LOL)

<ST> (The HITMarks find that sometimes electronics can be a bitch, especially when EMP'd)

<Stormbringer> (If robots could grin evilly, Stormbringer would be doing so right now.)

MC_Farstrider rides away on a unicorn chasing the car down.

<ST> (MC: The car stands still)

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: I'll do Spirit 1/Prime 1 scan then.)

<Francois_Dupres> roll 3 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Francois_Dupres rolls 3#d10 and gets 10, 10, 1."

Asm0dai thinks what is taking them so long and lights another one...

<ST> (Fran: Ok. You can see MC on the unicorn, riding towards the car)

<AC_Newton> Asmo: Err, you can start... It took a moment to decide on the course of action, I guess.

Hannibal_Golux coms the Meteor: "Newton! Update!"

MC_Farstrider arrives at the car

Marvin_B tries to juggle with some skulls.

<AC_Newton> Hanni: MC and Fran try to get Grey and the Thig now... There are some HIT Marks, but Stormbringer shorted them out so far...

<MC_Farstrider> I tell the unicorn to wait, looking for Fran.

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: That means we're a go...

<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin, you can stop juggling now...

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 8, 2, 8, 10, 6."

<Francois_Dupres> AC: can you beam me out since we no longer need stealth ?

<Teora> Fran: Where to?

Marvin_B takes out his gun again, while the skulls are crashing to the virtual floor shattering to virtual pieces

<MC_Farstrider> 5 sux on on Spirit1/Corr2/Life1 looking for Fran

<ST> (Fran is not to be seen yet...)

<Francois_Dupres> 20 m from the car's rear

Hannibal_Golux arms himself with some appropriate hacking icons... like this large axe here...

<Teora> Done

MC_Farstrider chants and summons a earth elmental to guard

<ST> MC: Fran materializes in a cool silver/blue light effect right next to you

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 9, 4, 7, 8, 5."

<MC_Farstrider> 3 sux

<MC_Farstrider> Hey there! The car is stopped.

Marvin_B has his gun ready and a dose of Entropy for anyone who likes one... And those who don't.

<ST> (The guys in the car haven't made any attempt to get out, BTW. The car is black, and the windscreen too

<MC_Farstrider> How do you want to proceed?

<ST> (MC: The car didn't move for a while. Stormbringer killed of the electronic via EMP)

<Francois_Dupres> MC: Let me summon some aid, while you are scanning the car?

MC_Farstrider draws a circle in the earth

<ST> (Anyone tried to touch the car?)

MC_Farstrider walks the circle calling the corners.

<Hannibal_Golux> (...fear...paranoia...suspicion...)

<MC_Farstrider> I call out to the powers of air to send me an elemental.

<Francois_Dupres> (I complete my spell to summon an electric elemental)

<Francois_Dupres> roll 3 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Francois_Dupres rolls 3#d10 and gets 8, 4, 5."

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 8, 1, 3, 2, 4."

<MC_Farstrider> 0

<ST> (Well, the air elemental doesn't listen...)

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 2, 8, 3, 5, 8."

<MC_Farstrider> 2 sux

Asm0dai opens a viewscreen that show him what his companions are doing in the real world... thank god for corrsepondance in the digitial web benig coincidental...

<ST> Okay. Hesitantly, one air elemental appears

<MC_Farstrider> (=1 diff for second try)

Hannibal_Golux starts the run and hopes the others will have the sense to follow...

<MC_Farstrider> Ok, Fran what do ypou need besides the earth and air elementals?

AC_Newton sits in the Meteor and hopes everything will go well...

<Francois_Dupres> I got my own allies. Let's try to open that door.

Marvin_B follows Hannibal to wherever he goes

MC_Farstrider looks around for them allies.

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 10, 8, 1, 4, 2."

<MC_Farstrider> 3 sux on spirit1 detect

<ST> (Fran: What allies did you call?)

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: 1 sux on diff 6 to summon a electrical elemental)

<ST> (Fran: Ok)

<ST> MC: You get a reading of your and of Fran's elemental

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: Corr 2 rote to try to see inside the car)

<ST> (Fran: Ok)

<Francois_Dupres> roll 3 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Francois_Dupres rolls 3#d10 and gets 4, 7, 3."

<Francois_Dupres> 1 sux

<ST> Fran: You feel your rote not getting through

<Hannibal_Golux> (...fear...paranoia...suspicion...)

<ST> Fran: Obviously the car is shielded.

<Francois_Dupres> I try to open the door ^^

<Marvin_B> (The truth is out there...)

<ST> (Fran: How?)

<Francois_Dupres> Back door on the rigth side, I open it and I step aside quickly.

<ST> (Fran: Do you wear gloves?)

<Hannibal_Golux> (...duck and cover...)

<Francois_Dupres> no

<ST> Fran: Then roll Stamina. The outside of the car is charged.

<Francois_Dupres> *g*

<ST> (Think of 3 damage that you might soak)

<Francois_Dupres> roll 2 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Francois_Dupres rolls 2#d10 and gets 8, 3."

<Asm0dai> (So predictable for techies...)

<ST> Fran: 2 damage for you ^_^

<Francois_Dupres> ST: noted

<Hannibal_Golux> (...duck and cover... but fails to get hit by ST hint...)

<ST> MC: You see that Fran gets hit by an electrical charge.

<ST> (AC always wears gloves. She knows why ^_^)

<Asm0dai> (I don't go anywhere in my real body that is really dangerous... holo projectors and the DW do wonders for that sort of stuff :))

<Hannibal_Golux> (hmm)

<AC_Newton> (per comm) Fran? Are you alright???

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: I order my lightning elem to siphon the electricity)

<AC_Newton> MC, do you need help?

<ST> (Fran: Ok.)

<Francois_Dupres> (per comm) Nothing grave, monitor Union reinforcement, please, AC)

<ST> (This should work without real problems ^_^)

<AC_Newton> Okie. Stormbringer is pretty effective so far...

Hannibal_Golux & Co. are currently lagging at the construct's mainframe... ;)

Stormbringer is busy dismantling HITMarks.

<ST> (Well, Grey only gave you the codes for a separate computer there, not the mainframe ^-^)

<Marvin_B> (Damn... We should have gotten rid of the 56k modems before the run *g* Bloody lags)

AC_Newton is proud that Stormbringer still works.

MC_Farstrider switched computers

<Hannibal_Golux> (Well, I'm assuming the computer must be linked to the mainframe, ultimately, yes?)

<ST> (Now in the car)

AgentGrey frowns.

<AgentGrey> Obviously those RDs decided to get you out in earnest...

<Marcello_Keagan> It seems that way...

<AgentGrey> I called reinforcements. We just need to stay locked inside for another 5 minutes.

MC_Farstrider summons an electricity elemental.

<AgentGrey> The CounterProcedures built into the car might help us along for that time.

Asm0dai looks at the screen and thinks what are the chances of their defenses failing?

<ST> (^_^)

<Asm0dai> (Corr 2, Entropy 3. Quint 2)

<ST> (Asmo: Whose?)

<Asm0dai> (The cars :))

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 10, 8, 6, 1, 2."

<MC_Farstrider> 3 sux

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: Did my elem manage to siphon the electricity?)

<ST> (MC: 2. - The 10 is cancelled, so you don't get the 2 sux for that)

<Asm0dai> (may I?)

<ST> (Asmo: Sure)

<MC_Farstrider> I tell it to siphon the electricity from the car.

<Asm0dai> roll 4 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Asm0dai rolls 4#d10 and gets 6, 3, 1, 7."

<Asm0dai> (2 suxx... since I used quint)

<ST> MC: Fran already siphoned the electricity. But your elemental munches on the batteries now.

<ST> Asmo: Well, you see that the defenses of the car slowly erode away

<MC_Farstrider> ?

MC_Farstrider attempts to diagnose what's left to be dealt with.

<ST> MC: Fran already told the elemental to siphon the electricity that shocked him.

Asm0dai thinks that the defenses must have short-circuited from all that electricity in the air.

<ST> (MC: you don't happen to have Matter?)

MC_Farstrider asks the powers of the elments to tell me what further defences this vehicle has.

<Asm0dai> Acey, get in there fast! The defenses seem to have fallen to some bizzare coincidence...

<ST> (Asmo: The electronic defenses, yes)

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: I retry to open the door)

<MC_Farstrider> (Life1/Spirit1/Prime1/Corr2/Mind1) scan

<Asm0dai> (Yes, but locks are also electric in most modern cars... :))

<ST> Fran: Well, the doors are locked from the inside. Very mundane locks.

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 5, 3, 7, 2, 8."

<MC_Farstrider> 3 sux

<ST> (MC: Well, you sense three persons inside, two of them Enlightened)

<Asm0dai> (Umm, Stayka almost all the new cars have electric central locking)

<ST> (Asmo: We have such locks at our cars, too, you can always shut them manually, too.)

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: Entropy, the bot attack must have damaged the lock system, they are open now ^^ 1 WP and 2 quint)

<Francois_Dupres> roll 3 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Francois_Dupres rolls 3#d10 and gets 4, 3, 10."

<Francois_Dupres> 5 sux ST

<ST> Fran: The Entropy I cede :-)

<MC_Farstrider> I have the earth elemental raise a corrior of earth as a barrier and advance on the car.

<ST> (Fran: Ok, that makes for you being able to open the door now)

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: ^^)

<ST> (MC Ok.)

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: I open the door )

<MC_Farstrider> Well in the spiritual reflection of it anyway)

<ST> Fran: You look into the muzzle of a standard issue Firearm.

<Francois_Dupres> Hi there. You should drop this weapon, or my friend will fry you. I don't have a quarrel with you. I just want your passenger.

AgentGrey makes a face, but decides that it would be foolhardy to play the hero as he sees the moving earth wall outside.

<MC_Farstrider> I have the electricity elemental shock the gun out of his hand.

<Francois_Dupres> Mr.Keagan, please get out of the car.

<ST> (MC ok)

<AgentGrey> Ouch!

AgentGrey lets the gun fall as the charge hits him.

MC_Farstrider looks at them all - who is here now?

AgentGrey is in the car, Marcello, too, and a driver behind an opaque, soundproof pane of glass in the front of the car.

AC_Newton is in the ship and very relieved that no one got really hurt yet.

Marcello_Keagan gets out of the car.

<MC_Farstrider> How far from the ship are we?

<Francois_Dupres> Thanks for your cooperation, I was pleased to meet you.

AC_Newton landed about 100m next to the car.

Francois_Dupres bows to the agent and quickly retreats to the Meteor.

MC_Farstrider greets Grey and the other Mage.

AgentGrey sighs.

<MC_Farstrider> I am Moonchild Farstrider, daughter of unicorn, speaker with dreams. - You are?

AgentGrey gets out of the car.

MC_Farstrider opens a door in the Umbra.

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 8, 5, 2, 3, 8."

<MC_Farstrider> 3 sux

MC_Farstrider walks thru the door.

<MC_Farstrider> I summon a couple of unicorns for Grey and the mage.

<Francois_Dupres> MC: Are you ok, Ms Farstrider?

AC_Newton watches the car. The driver chose to stay inside, it seems.

<MC_Farstrider> roll 5 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "MC_Farstrider rolls 5#d10 and gets 2, 3, 5, 3, 9."

<MC_Farstrider> (2 sux)

<ST> (Ok. But somehow I doubt Grey will want to mount a unicorn ^_^)

<MC_Farstrider> I again ask the mage his name.

<Marcello_Keagan> (You went in the Umbra...)

<ST> (Marcello?)

<MC_Farstrider> Hello people?? The door is open, waiting for you all to return.

<Marcello_Keagan> Ah.

<AC_Newton> People, you should get on board, there are three black choppers approaching...

<Marcello_Keagan> Keagan... Miss...Farstrider?

<MC_Farstrider> I'm trying to get them to come back.

Francois_Dupres hopes he managed to drag himself into the Meteor.

<ST> (The Meteor stands 100m next to the car ^_^)

<MC_Farstrider> Right. I've arranged transportation to the ship.

Marcello_Keagan looks at Grey.

AgentGrey shrugs. But he can't say anything right now. Things have gone definitely differently from how he thought they should, and now he needs some time to think on how to rescue the situation.

<AgentGrey> I guess I'm not left much choice here right now?

Francois_Dupres doesn't understand what Ms Farstrider is trying to do.

<MC_Farstrider> Walking thru the door.

AC_Newton tells Teora to uncloak the hatch of the Meteor.

<MC_Farstrider> You find MC and Moira with 4 unicorns

<ST> (Fran: Where are you? In the hatch?)

<MC_Farstrider> Teora, can you beam them up?

<ST> (MC, the ship stands right next to the car, only cloaked)

MC_Farstrider releases the unicorns who wink out.

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: Yes. I thought Marcello and MC were on their way too.)

<MC_Farstrider> Yes, we are.

<Teora> At this distance I might risk a teleport. I don't think they are able to interfere at such short distance.

<AC_Newton> Okie, Teora, bring the two guys on board, please!

Teora beams Marcello and Grey on board. Francois is already in the hatch.

<ST-Logger> (So where is MC now?)

MC_Farstrider and Moira enter the ship, too.

<AC_Newton> Everybody in here now?

<MC_Farstrider> Yup.

<Teora> Yup

Marcello_Keagan blinks.

<MC_Farstrider> Well, I think the driver was left in the car?

<AC_Newton> Hm. Teora only beamed Grey and the Thig on board. At least I hope it's them?

AC_Newton makes some hand waves through the holographic projection above the console, and the Meteor starts.

<Marcello_Keagan> I'll never get used to that...

<MC_Farstrider> Mr.Keagan?

<Marcello_Keagan> Miss ....Farstrider?

<MC_Farstrider> Yup -- seems right out of Star Trek :) You may call me MC (Moonchild).

Francois_Dupres turns toward Agent Grey.

<Francois_Dupres> So you are in the party, too?

<AgentGrey> So it seems...

AgentGrey is somewhat surprised that he was transported on board, too. This definitely wasn't that plan, as far as he knew.

<AC_Newton> Teora, take the ship home, please!

<Teora> As you wish.

<Francois_Dupres> I'm just a bit surprised, Mr Grey.

<AgentGrey> Indeed, so am I. Why am I here?

<MC_Farstrider> I hope you're ok.

Marcello_Keagan looks a little funny at the woman.

MC_Farstrider concentrates.

<Marcello_Keagan> Lemme guess...a Dreamspeaker?

<MC_Farstrider> (Life1/Spirit1/Prime1 scan)

<Francois_Dupres> Bingo, Mr.Keagan.

<MC_Farstrider> Yes, I am a Speaker with Dreams.

Marcello_Keagan shakes his head in pity.

<Francois_Dupres> ...and it seems she ate too many mushrooms today.

AC_Newton stands up from her console and walks over the the group.

MC_Farstrider hugs AC welcome.

<AC_Newton> Hello...

<MC_Farstrider> And you are?

Francois_Dupres wonders how it is going for the rest of the group.

AC_Newton rehugs MC, but is obviously more interested in something (or rather someone) else...

MC_Farstrider grins.

<Marcello_Keagan> I told you already, I'm Keagan, Miss Farstrider.

AC_Newton looks at Agent Grey and blushes somewhat.

<MC_Farstrider> Mr.Keagan, then.

Francois_Dupres raises an eyebrow.

AC_Newton looks fast to the new guy, when she feels her cheeks get hot.

Marcello_Keagan looks at the other woman (girl?).

<AC_Newton> (Marcello: Acy looks like maybe 20.)

<AC_Newton> Welcome on board...

<Moira> Yes, welcome.

<AC_Newton> I take it you were the poor victim...?

<Marcello_Keagan> (Moira=Unicorn right?)

<Marcello_Keagan> Victim, yes, I think that would be me...

<Moira> You see a 15-16 yr old teenage girl, with straight red hair, green eyes, she has a slim muscular build, height 5'3", weight about 90lbs. She's wearing jeans, shirt, sneakers.

AgentGrey takes a short look at his surroundings. He thinks this ...ship? is pretty much high tech, not at all what he would have expected from an SoE vessel.

<AC_Newton> I didn't get your name, Mr...? I'm A.C.Newton, the Captain of this Ethership.

<Marcello_Keagan> Oh, sorry, my name is Marcello Keagan... and well... It seems I am the victim.

<AC_Newton> Nice to meet you then!

AC_Newton smiles at the Hermetic.

Marcello_Keagan smiles back.

<Marcello_Keagan> The pleasure is all mine, Miss Newton.

Asm0dai appears on the screen and says... "It seems to me he was treated well. So the only victim here is poor Mr.Grey, who got abducted..."

AC_Newton looks somehow as if she was caught red-handed.

Francois_Dupres sits on a corner and watches the people.

Marcello_Keagan looks a little confused.

<AC_Newton> (via comlink to Asmo and Hanni) Guys, we are through here. How's your job going?

<Asm0dai> Great.

Asm0dai grins and says.. "I am Asmodai... I am also the part of this rescue attempt... the part that includes some data theft from a mainframe for both us and Mr.Grey here."

<MC_Farstrider> You see a 20-something young woman, with straight red hair, violet eyes, she has a slim muscular build, height 5'8", weight about 120lbs. She's wearing jeans, shirt, high boots and light jacket. She wears a backpack and carries a staff.

<Asm0dai> We are still waiting for Grey, whom you abducted to let us in... :)

AgentGrey grins wryly at Asmo's projection.

AC_Newton again studies Agent Grey, but when she realizes this, she blushes furiously and decides to look at the viewscreen-projection.

<Asm0dai> Acey... Be nice and talk to the poor fellow... We can't leave him in dire straits. - Grey, wanna stay with us for a while? Or do you want to be knocked out and left somewhere where you can get back to your Construct?

AgentGrey raises an eyebrow. Being knocked out doesn't seem to appeal to him too much.

<Asm0dai> So, Agent Grey? The choice is simple... You can stay with us "RDs" or let us take you back down...

<AgentGrey> Well, I have to admit that this ship of yours looks very intriguing...

<Asm0dai> Uhmm, it is Acey's.

AgentGrey looks to Acy whose face is flushed and who tries to get a grip on herself again.

Marcello_Keagan gives Newton a long look.

<Francois_Dupres> Miss Newton, concentrate on the ship, I will do the social part and entertain our guest.

Asm0dai coughs intentionally..

MC_Farstrider talks queitly with the new fellow, Dr.Keagan.

<Asm0dai> Grey, could you be at least so nice to help us with the files we are trying to get FOR YOU?

AgentGrey notices Acy's reactions and tries to hide his utter amusement. It seemed that this little spacegirl was somewhat smitten with him.

<AgentGrey> Certainly, Mr.Asmodai.

<Asm0dai> We can leave the pleasantries for some other time... - That goes escpecially for you, Acey!

AC_Newton looks somewhat caught.

<Asm0dai> So, Mr.Grey, shall we complete our business?

AgentGrey decides that it might be interesting to stay here, even though he might get into trouble at home.

<Asm0dai> Oh and I will take your word that you will not inform your colleagues on our location...

<AgentGrey> Sure. I guess it might be a good idea if I stay with you until we got the proof about the Nephandi.

<Asm0dai> Of course, though there will be a bit of a problem...

<AgentGrey> Which would be?

AgentGrey wonders how many more problems could there be.

<Asm0dai> You were abducted along with an RD... Do you think your superiors won't notice this?

<AgentGrey> Well, it would be even more suspicious if I would just return alone now.

<Asm0dai> So. how are you planning to go back?

<AgentGrey> I will be in for a session with PsychOps, no matter what happens, I fear.

<Asm0dai> We can knock you out and leave you somewhere where you can easily get back.

AgentGrey grimaces.

<AgentGrey> This won't be so easy.

<Asm0dai> Ok, then please start with the access codes. Fast.

AgentGrey closes his eyes.

<Francois_Dupres> Regrets now, Mr.Grey?

AgentGrey thinks that somehow he had managed to get himself into deep trouble... There was obviously a reason about this directive not to get into contact with RDs in the first place.

<AgentGrey> Well...

Asm0dai creates a small screen next to Acey's head and tunes the volume down so that only she can hear him.

<Asm0dai> Acey, mission first, security second and falling for Techies is somewhere about the 367th thing you need to worry about.

AC_Newton looks at Asmo and has a very "caught!" mien on her face.

Asm0dai goes back to the big screen.

<Asm0dai> Well, that is your problem, Mr.Grey. Still you can stay with us.

MC_Farstrider continues her talk with Dr.Keagan.

Asm0dai creates another small viewscreen next to Acey.

<Asm0dai> And we should talk about that before you get into anything more serious than a crush... It might get a bit nasty if he still isn't sure about his loyalties.

<AC_Newton> I will try...

AC_Newton isn't sure if it isn't already too late.

Asm0dai is back on the big screen

<Asm0dai> So, Mr.Grey. The access codes and locations?

AgentGrey decides to give Asmodai the codes needed to get into the computer where the proof was most likely to be stored.

Asm0dai downloads them into the web... Then he turns to the other side of the viewscreen turning towards the rest of the DW crew.

<Asm0dai> Gentlemen, we have the loaction and access codes.

AC_Newton can't resist to look somewhat dreamily at Grey.

<Asm0dai> I think we have about 40 minutes before they change everything Grey knew. We go in ASAP.

Asm0dai thinks Acey should be lucky he didn't see her.

<AC_Newton> (hehe)

AgentGrey is very amused at AC and thinks he might put her crush to some use. Although he has to admit to himself that he isn't so sure about his own feelings anymore either.

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: How does Grey seem to react to the situation? I can read something on his face.)

<ST> (Fran: Well, he tries to look somewhat impassionate, but he doesn't really succeed. He seems to be somewhere between flattered, amused and also astonished.)

Marcello_Keagan looks again at AC.

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: I do a Mind 1 rote, to sense Mind effects in my surrounding.)

<Francois_Dupres> roll 3 d10

Son_Of_Dicebot --> "Francois_Dupres rolls 3#d10 and gets 7, 3, 3."

<Francois_Dupres> 3 sux

Asm0dai sends a nice thought in Grey's head. "You use her and I warp your mind in a nice little fractal pattern."

<ST> (Fran, the only Mind Effects you perceive are one of Asmo towards Grey, and Grey shielding himself against attacks.)

<Marcello_Keagan> (has a Mind shield on)

<ST> (Okay, then Marcello's shield, too.)

Asm0dai continues. "After that you won't be getting near anyone again. So please, do take care what you do with the little spacegirl."

AgentGrey raises an eyebrow as he "hears" Asmo's message. His shield is set to return attacks, but his knowledge of the Mind Sphere enables him to selectively get messages sent to him anyway.

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: I maintain my effect, I want to be aware of what's going on. -_-)

AgentGrey sends back a thought to Asmo: "Well, in this case I really haven't done anything." (His thoughts feel truly amused.)

Marcello_Keagan looks highly confused, while conversing with MC.

<ST> Fran: You get the little exchange between Grey and Asmo.

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: k)

<ST> (Fran: Sometimes even an NWOp doesn't need a Mind Effect for certain things. ^_^)

Francois_Dupres chuckles.

Asm0dai simply puts a feeling of smugness in his thoughts and tells Grey that she is too naive and trusting and he'd hate to see her incarcerated in the Technocracy prisons or mindbending cells.

AgentGrey sends back a dry Mind reply: "You might or might not believe it, but I wasn't aware that I had such a fan base here."

<ST> (BTW, it's getting late, Hanni is getting tired - shall we postpone the raid to the next session?)

Asm0dai concludes that it is fascinating how much Techies can get desensitized in their little worlds. "Well, just be nice and noone will get hurt. I liked you since I met you, and I really don't want to find a reason to turn you into a gibbering plant. Well, okay then..."

<Francois_Dupres> (ST: Ok for me)

<ST> (Fine. I think poor Acy has to recover a bit from her sudden emotional confusion, too.)

<Asm0dai> Next issue: Nasty Digital Web assaults and Ice cream?

<ST> (Asmo: Yup ^_^ And some more utterly amused and flattered Grey getting stalked by lovesick AC...)

<Marvin_Black> (Ok with me.)

Hannibal_Golux wakes up.

<Hannibal_Golux> (What the hell is going on?)

<Francois_Dupres> He he.

<Marcello_Keagan> (Okay with me, to continue another time. Though Marcello is still pretty neatly stunned at the moment.)

<Marvin_Black> (What is it, Hanni?)

<ST> (Hanni: Well, Asmo will hack the Construct big time next session.)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Asmo, Marv and me, you mean.)

<AgentGrey> (Marcello: He is not alone.)

<ST> (Hanni: That, too)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Okie-dokie)

MC_Farstrider continues quietly talking with Marcello.

AC_Newton wants to see Agent Grey without his mirrorshades again. She so adored his beautiful green eyes. ^_^

Asm0dai also needs to prepare a custom tailored rote to make a nice li'l bowtie out of Grey's mind if he hurts Acey. :)

MC_Farstrider grins.

<AgentGrey> Asmo: Well, I don't have any intentions to hurt her. She's pretty cute, after all.

AgentGrey raises his eyebrows in played innocence.

<AgentGrey> And who am I to ignore the chance when that little spacegirl virtually offers herself to me on a silver platter?

Hannibal_Golux is now known as ZenCadet

Son_Of_Dicebot is now known as d1ng0

<Marvin_Black> So next week it's our turn and the others' turn to wait? ;)

Francois_Dupres is now known as fso

<ZenCadet> MB: Yay!

MC_Farstrider hugs AC goodnight.

<AC_Newton> Good Night, MC *rehugs*.

<Marvin_Black> Coool... A pure dose of Marv's "Happiness" *g*

Marcello_Keagan is now known as d1ng0

MC_Farstrider waves goodnight to all.

<Asm0dai> Oh, Grey, you can do whatever you want with her, as long as: A) You don't use her and leave. B) You don't betray her. C) You don't kill her. D) You don't do anything that she feels messed up after. And I take the liberty to interpret these as I see fit...

Asm0dai grins.

AgentGrey looks thoughtfully at Acy. Much to his amazement he finds her indeed quite attractive, RD or not.

<AgentGrey> Well, killing her wasn't exactly what I had in mind...

<Asm0dai> As long as you follow those simple guidelines, we are a-OK.

<ZenCadet> (Asmo: Are you pimping Newton?)

<AC_Newton> Zen: LOL

<fso> Zen: lol

<d1ng0> It sure sounds like it. :)

<Asm0dai> No, just saving her from evil Technocrats :)

<Marvin_Black> rotfl

AC_Newton doesn't think Grey is evil!

Marvin_Black doesn't *think* he is evil, he *knows* it.

<d1ng0> No... He's in the grey area?

<Asm0dai> Sure, you don't... But you are about as world-aware as a 3 year old. So you don't count :) And I didn't talk to you. I talked to *him* :)

AC_Newton looks longingly at Agent Grey.

AgentGrey grins at Asmo, then gives AC a dazzling smile and disappears, too.

AgentGrey has quit IRC.

AC_Newton sighs.

ZenCadet slaps AC across the cheek.

<ZenCadet> Bad girl!

<AC_Newton> Awww!

AC_Newton sulks.

<ZenCadet> Fraternising with the enemy!

fso chuckles.

<AC_Newton> But he's *cute*.

ZenCadet grimaces.

<ZenCadet> So's the Devil.

d1ng0 whacks AC_Newton over the head with a mallet.

<AC_Newton> Ouch!

<fso> The heart knows reason that the mind does not? (Or something like -_-)

AC_Newton glares at dingo.

ZenCadet doesn't recall a Heart Sphere... Only Mind...

Asm0dai hits ZenCadet in the head.

<Asm0dai> That is not the proper way to treat a lady, you dolt!

ZenCadet doesn't notice because his brain is numb.

<AC_Newton> And you wonder why I think that Agent Grey is so nice. He is always very correct and courteous... And he doesn't whack me!

<Marvin_Black> Lady? We're talking about AC!

fso rolls on the floor laughing.

Marvin_Black wonders how anyone could compare AC to a lady.

<Asm0dai> You forgot that I am British and an old sod compared to all the ppl here. A least my char ;)

<AC_Newton> Marv: You are all so mean!

AC_Newton sulks.

<Asm0dai> Hmmm and I? - Ah, yes you hate me for tricking you. :)

Marvin_Black thinks Marv is the only nice char around. ;)

<AC_Newton> Asmo: Well, there was this thing about the scanty bathing suit...

<Marvin_Black> Oh. I liked that one. And the cave was really nice.
