<AgentGrey> Good evening everybody.
AgentGrey smiles at the others, looking deceptively open and inconspicuous.

Robotnik has joined #agww
<Robotnik> AC: Mama!
<AC_Newton> It's doing it again!!
MC_Farstrider *giggles*
Marvin_Black thinks of what it would look like if he'd painted everyone black.
<MC_Farstrider> Marv: Umm, hard to see?
<AC_Newton> Marv: Don't you dare! I'm very fond of my white overall
<Marvin_Black> But really nice and cosy. Just like feeling at home.
Marvin_Black wonders how AC gave birth to a bot...
ZenCadet is now known as Hannibal_Golux
<MC_Farstrider> Umm, Scientifically! ;)
<AC_Newton> I didn't! It's all MC's fault!!
<Hannibal_Golux> (Shouldn't Robotnik be Stormbringer? No... wait, the AI hasn't been uploaded yet...)
<ST> Hanni: Exactly. Currently it's just a ...spirited Robot.)
<MC_Farstrider> I could ask the robot what its Name was, but I figured you'd want to have it respond to the AI's Name.
<Hannibal_Golux> MC: Well, let's not give it a split personality...
<MC_Farstrider> Quite -- that was my thought.
<Marvin_Black> AC, how does one get pregnant with a bot?
MC_Farstrider *giggles*
<MC_Farstrider> A miracle of Science!?
AC_Newton grumbles at Marvin.
<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin: You're not supposed to love technology. Not that much...
<Marvin_Black> Hanni: Don't tell me, tell her... She's the one with the bot calling her "Mama"
<AC_Newton> I never asked for that! It's all MC's fault
<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin: She is clearly a surrogate mother.
AC_Newton looks as if she's ready to explode.
MC_Farstrider offers a calmitive to AC
AC_Newton doesn't want any children! Especially not any weird robot ones.
<Marvin_Black> If it's MCs fault... *doesn't want to imagine*
MC_Farstrider was only trying to help.
<AC_Newton> MC, and why doesn't it call *you* "Mama" then?
<MC_Farstrider> Well, you are its creator. I was just - umm, a midwife?
<AC_Newton> But it's UnScientfic!
MC_Farstrider doesn't doesn;t really understand all that Weaver stuff.
<ST> Okay. I think now we are all set... So let's recapitulate.
MC_Farstrider and Moira listen.
<ST> AC and MC are still in the Meteor, where they put together the robot which is soon to be called Stormbringer
<Robotnik> (gleefully) Mama!!
Hannibal_Golux remembers everything... ;)
<ST> Hanni: (Hehe)
<ST> Well, Asmo, Marvin and Hanni were somewhere in the DW, and Marcello felt already quite at home in the NWO Construct, being friendly talked to by Agent Grey.
<ST> So we decided to call it a day and meet now (next day, I presume) to simulate the mission, courtesy of Hannibal.
<ST> Francois, you were back in your Chantry trying to ask some colleagues about the missing Thig, I presume?
<Francois_Dupres> Yes.
Marvin_Black thinks about how to get out of this without the girl playing kissing jokes on him noticing.
Marcello_Keagan wonders if anyone here knows that the vile Technocrats use brainwashing techniques.
<ST> I think Hannibal should start, as he wants to get the simulation going - or?
Hannibal_Golux calmly smashes his palmpilot violently against the wall.
<Hannibal_Golux> Damn it!
<Francois_Dupres> O.O
<Hannibal_Golux> Stupid processor.
Hannibal_Golux sighs and sits on the floor, a defeated look on his face.
<Francois_Dupres> Err, what's going on, Hannibal?
<Asm0dai> So how are the predictions?
<Hannibal_Golux> My simulator crashed.
<Asm0dai> Oh, great programming...
<AC_Newton> And that means?
Asm0dai smirks.
<Marvin_Black> I'm sure something very bad...
<Francois_Dupres> Just reboot it?
<Hannibal_Golux> No, I can't do this. The code got wiped. I was lucky to get Stormbringer out of there in time.
<Asm0dai> Hmmm, do we have enough time to deal with it?
<Hannibal_Golux> It'll take too long to code a new sim in time. I think we're just going to have to go with it, Asmodai. As you say, the information is probably flawed anyway.
<Asm0dai> Okay
<AC_Newton> Hanni: We need to rescue that poor guy!
<Asm0dai> Can we salvage any data with the possible defences? I'd jsut like to see if we are capable to tear open holes in worst case scenarios?
<Hannibal_Golux> Asmodai, I can still remember all of the relevant information. I am your map.
<Marvin_Black> So what now? Do we back out?
<Asm0dai> No.
<Hannibal_Golux> No. We still need to rescue him.
<Marvin_Black> So the chances to be doomed are raised by another 50%. Ehhhmmm.. That makes about... 250%?
<AC_Newton> Can you DL the info into my laptop, too?
<Asm0dai> Grey is gonna take the Thig out. We cannot miss the chance to free his mind.
AC_Newton thinks that Grey seemed to be a very decent sort of guy.
<Hannibal_Golux> We can't risk contacting Agent Grey to reschedule. Therefore, we need to act on time.
<Asm0dai> Yep. - Okay Acey...
<AC_Newton> My robot is set.
<Asm0dai> Are you ready to pop in as soon as they are out and get the Mage out?
<AC_Newton> Asmo: Of course I'm ready!
<Francois_Dupres> Err, what's the plan ?
<Hannibal_Golux> Newton, I may as well upload Stormbringer into the robot now.
<Asm0dai> Just don't make another Death of AIs.
<AC_Newton> Hanni, I think that would be nice. I hope it will cease calling me "Mama" then.
<Hannibal_Golux> Besides, I'm sure the sooner I stop it calling you "Mama", the sooner you'd be happy.
AC_Newton nods vigorously.
Asm0dai remarks something on newborns always calling their progenitors "Mama".
<Robotnik> Mama?
<AC_Newton> Arrrrgggglll!!
<Hannibal_Golux> Yes, I just hope it doesn't start calling me Father. I didn't program it to do that.
<Asm0dai> Ahh, ain't he cute?
Asm0dai puts on a fake smile.
<Marvin_Black> No motherly feelings, AC? Just what to expect from a shoddy world like this.
<AC_Newton> I'm a Scientist, not a mother figure!
<Marvin_Black> Just as I said.
<MC_Farstrider> Are we going to do the upload now?
Hannibal_Golux produces a small gizmo from his pocket and attaches it to the robot's head.
<Hannibal_Golux> This will download the AI into the processor you installed for me, Newton.
Hannibal_Golux clicks a button and a light starts to flash on it.
<Marcello_Keagan> (Upload)
<Asm0dai> Acey, what are you using? What hardware?
<MC_Farstrider> We should work together to make sure that the Weaver Tech is merged right.
AC_Newton looks at the proceedings.
<Hannibal_Golux> Asmodai, I gave her the specs.
MC_Farstrider sighs.
<Marvin_Black> I guess a nice XT.
<AC_Newton> Asmo: I built everything according to Hannibal's specifications. It was a bit tricky at times, but I hope it'll do.
MC_Farstrider walks a circle around the robot and chants to the spirits in it.
<Asm0dai> Well, I do think it won't work...
Robotnik is now known as Stormbringer.
<Asm0dai> We are doing this on too tight a schedule.
Asm0dai looks sullen.
<Hannibal_Golux> It should only take a moment more. It may take a few moments for the AI to become accustomed to its new environment, but it should take control soon enough.
<Marvin_Black> Are you sure I have to go with you and die with you?
MC_Farstrider calls upon the Weaver's children to merge the program with the existing spirits.
<Asm0dai> Yes, o faithful, depressive Goth Menace (TM)
MC_Farstrider continues to walk the circle chanting.
<MC_Farstrider> !dice 6
<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 6 6 2 1 3
<MC_Farstrider> 2 sux
Asm0dai plays with the warware toys.
MC_Farstrider continues to walk the circle chanting to the robot.
<Marvin_Black> Why did you drag me into this mess anyway? Just to show me even more that this world is crap? I already know...
<Asm0dai> To make you live through exquisite tortute, kiddo... Isn't it how you love your life?
<Marvin_Black> I do that already. So what? There is no other way to live.
<Asm0dai> So you are gonna die and be happy in oblivion..
<Marvin_Black> There is no such thing as happiness.
<Asm0dai> Come on, we don't all need to be on the edge before the strike.
<MC_Farstrider> !dice 6
<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 2 9 8 8 4
AC_Newton shakes her head. This is too weird, walking circles, chanting weird stuff.
<ST> (So now the Robot has a truly Spirited AI ^_^)
MC_Farstrider says in the spirit language that its name is Stormbringer.
<Francois_Dupres> (ST: Since we are in the getting ready phase, I'd like to do a Forces 2, Entropy 2 Rote to help me dodge incoming fire and a Mind 1 rote to shield my mind from Mind Effects.)
<ST> (Francois: Ok. Remind me of it when you do it, but it's noted.)
<Francois_Dupres> (I'll write that down in my PDA)
<ST> (Fran: OK)
<Hannibal_Golux> Moonchild, what are you doing to the robot?
MC_Farstrider is Name-ing the robot and merging the AI with the spirits.
Asm0dai thinks of Spirited Away.
<Hannibal_Golux> So if Newton is the mother, I am the father, does that make you the fairy godmother?
AC_Newton looks somewhat pained.
MC_Farstrider grins and rather likes that designation
AC_Newton thinks she's getting a headache now.
Hannibal_Golux winks with a chuckle to AC_Newton.
<AC_Newton> (weakly) Hello Daddy. - But we are *not* married!
MC_Farstrider still walks the circle and chants to Stormbringer
<Hannibal_Golux> It's clearly our lovechild, Newton.
Hannibal_Golux chuckles.
AC_Newton makes a really funnyl face.
Asm0dai grins sheepishly
<MC_Farstrider> (Simple Prime 1 Rote to attune the Fetish to the AI.)
<Asm0dai> Acey, you are a mother now :)
<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5
<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 10 6 6 4
<MC_Farstrider> 6 sux
<Francois_Dupres> They are, of course, speaking in parable, Acey ;o
<AC_Newton> Fran: Even that is bad enough.
<MC_Farstrider> The AI should be in control of the robot now.
Stormbringer looks around
Hannibal_Golux checks the gizmo.
<MC_Farstrider> Blessed Be
<Marvin_Black> Another lost child on this bloody Earth... Poor one.
<Hannibal_Golux> Well, the download is certainly complete.
<Stormbringer> Everything working at specified parameters.
<Hannibal_Golux> Do you hear me Stormbringer?
<Asm0dai> Hannibal I can give him a procedure that will make him a bit less... childish.
<Hannibal_Golux> Good.
MC_Farstrider takes down the circle.
<Stormbringer> Yes, Master.
<Francois_Dupres> It could have been worse. Imagine Marvin as father.
<Marvin_Black> Me? Father? Never. There is no such thing as love.
<Hannibal_Golux> Storm, make a complete systems check. Ensure that you are in complete control of your new environment.
<Asm0dai> Oh great... We gonna call him Frankie?
<Stormbringer> System check completed. Everything functioning within specified parameters.
<MC_Farstrider> After Frank-N-Furter?
<Hannibal_Golux> Excellent.
<Asm0dai> Or Igor?
Stormbringer is awaiting orders.
<Francois_Dupres> But Marvin, life is a fatal diesease that you can't cure.
<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo, that was an authoritative, militant "Yes, Master" not a slimy, crawly henchman "Yeth, marthta".
MC_Farstrider asks whats the plan for the rescue?
Asm0dai has his own visions.
Stormbringer is programmed to take care of military operations.
<Marvin_Black> Fran: Who are you telling this?
<Francois_Dupres> But to you, Marvin, that's why you'd love to be a father.
<Asm0dai> And, Hannibal, aren't we fighting for FREEDOM? Why are you making a slave?
<MC_Farstrider> I got the impression it was more a chain of command thing.
<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: We're fighting for the freedom of the masses, not our creations.
Stormbringer looks at MC.
<Asm0dai> Yes, but our creations are sentient information. They need to be free even more than normal information!
MC_Farstrider nods in acknowlegment.
<Hannibal_Golux> MC is correct. It is a chain of command.
<Stormbringer> Indeed, Farstrider. My direct commander is Hannibal Golux. I take orders from him.
<Asm0dai> Yipeee. - Hey, Deadalus!
Stormbringer will ensure that every task is completed to the best of its abilities.
<MC_Farstrider> Thank you, Stormbringer.
Hannibal_Golux looks at Asmodai from behind his shades.
<Hannibal_Golux> Not every AI should be allowed total freedom.
<Deadalus> Duhh.
<Stormbringer> I would like to inquire about the full chain of command on this mission.
<Deadalus> If you need an AI without freedom, rather make a Zerk.
Deadalus looks again like goode olde Lobo and stands next to Asmo.
AC_Newton thinks that Stormbringer seems to be more a proper robot now.
Marvin_Black shakes his head.
<Marvin_Black> Now I'm sure this will be our end.
MC_Farstrider nods -- a Spirited Robot at that ;)
<Hannibal_Golux> Storm, you will be given your primary objective. If the order does not go against your primary mission then you may accept an order from anyone. Conflicting orders will be resolved by your own judgement or my override.
<MC_Farstrider> Hann, you did provide for its "abilities" in the AI, yes?
<Stormbringer> Acknowledged.
<Hannibal_Golux> It has been versed in Sun Tzu's Art of War, Von Clauswitz "On War" and no end of other modern fighting manuals. It has been through rigorous combat simluations.
Asm0dai prefers more efficient manuals...
<Asm0dai> Like Lobo...
Deadalus grins.
<MC_Farstrider> Hann, I meant the 'Charms' of its spirit component.
<Deadalus> I have seen all the great Samurai movies and Anime ever... I know more than any AI on combat.
<Hannibal_Golux> Yes, it is aware of its special enhancements.
<MC_Farstrider> Ok.
<Deadalus> Sun Tzu may be ok for tactics, but he talks nothing about real fighting. Machivelli had some nicer ideas...
<Hannibal_Golux> (Although Nimrod needs a bit of reminding. - It can cause an EMP pulse and ...?)
<MC_Farstrider> flare: bolt of star energy with 6 dice damage. hide: Wits+Int vs Will+5 (10). short out: Gnosis (8) vs 6.
<Marvin_Black> Hmm. No need for war anyway. Everything is doomed to die and fall pray to entropy.
Hannibal_Golux looks Stormbringer up and down.
<Hannibal_Golux> (That thing can *hide*?)
<MC_Farstrider> (nod) And its rather good at it.
<Francois_Dupres> Does anyone have a concrete plan or are we just going to go there, guns blazing?
<Asm0dai> The plan is ready.
<Marvin_Black> I guess get in, die and game over.
<Hannibal_Golux> You guys just need to back up Stormbringer, he'll do all the real fighting.
<Asm0dai> Hannibal, Marv and I go into the Construct while Grey puts the defenses down.
<Hannibal_Golux> You need to then rescue the Thig.
<Asm0dai> We trash the system, get the Mage out and steal all the Techie filesm not necessarily in that order. In the meantime, this nice little robot and the team on Meteor kick the butts and get the fella out.
<Francois_Dupres> Are we going to assault a physical place or a realm?
<MC_Farstrider> I thought the Construct was in "real space"?
<Asm0dai> Yes, but the mind is in the webspace Construct.
<MC_Farstrider> So there are 2 tasks. One, to get his mind back in his body, the other to rescue the reunited person?
<Asm0dai> Yep.
<Francois_Dupres> (ST: i'd like to prepare summon routine for electrical elemental in my PDA too, or even worst gremlins spirit -_-)
<ST> (Fran: Sounds like fun :-)
<Francois_Dupres> please gentlemen, you 'd better stop this discussion at once
<Francois_Dupres> both of you are entranched in your respective position, that's not going to change this way
<ST> (I think we have to make a short change of scenery. You get a short look into a Construct, presumably on Earth. A white room with a table, some chairs...)
<AgentGrey> Mr.Keagan, so you have considered our proposal?
<Marcello_Keagan> Well, I know what I think of the proposal. You can stick it were the sun doesn't shine.
AgentGrey shakes his head.
<AgentGrey> My dear Mr.Keagan, why are you being so uncooperative now? You know that you will have to lose in the end. Why not make it less painful for you?
<Marcello_Keagan> Wouldn't you be, if you were kidnapped by a bunch of control freaks?
<AgentGrey> Well, I see ourselves more like a police force that ensures Reality. The Masses are safeguarded from dangerous subjects by us.
<Marcello_Keagan> Yeah, and you decide what is dangerous and what is not. Well, things don't work like that.
<AgentGrey> Mr.Keagan, if things blow up and innocent bystanders are hurt and killed, this should be clear to be dangerous. Don't you agree?
AgentGrey smiles noncommitally
<Marcello_Keagan> Things blow up, people get killed and hurt all day. It happens. Live with it.
<AgentGrey> No one who works for the good of Humanity can stand idly by. You work like a terrorist group, why are you so surprised then when you are taken down?
<Marcello_Keagan> And besides, those Massess you keep referring to are pretty good at screwing up thing themselves.
<AgentGrey> We know. Which is why we try to shield them from more unnecessary harm.
<Marcello_Keagan> Blah blah blah blah... Done with your Technocratic bullshit?
<AgentGrey> (friendly) Mr.Keagan, getting all worked up emotionally doesn't make your nonexistent points more valid. Where would mankind be without the Union?
<Marcello_Keagan> Probably right where it is now - except the world would be more vibrant.
<AgentGrey> Mr.Keagan, without the Union, our world would be a medieval cesspit without technology and health care. It would be a world where a handful of superstitionalists took all the power. We, on the other hand, empowered the Masses with science and technology!
<Marcello_Keagan> On a need-to-know basis... And you should stop pretending you are any better than us. You aren't! You are just silly Mages yourselves, only you are too stupid to admit that.
<AgentGrey> Mr.Keagan. We are no superstitionalists. We are Enlightened Scientists.
<Marcello_Keagan> Yep, and you also tinker with reality, just like the rest of us. Only your paradigms are different.
<AgentGrey> Our Paradigm is the dominant one by now. You only bemoan the loss of your superstitionalist ways. If you look at it with a level mind, you would see why we are stronger and better.
<Marcello_Keagan> Why don't you just stop gloating, and get over with it? I've heard enough of your bullshit.
AgentGrey gives Dr.Keagan another noncommittal smile.
<AgentGrey> No need to get so vulgar, Dr.Keagan. We can offer you research funds to facilitate you research. Is that of no interest to you?
<Marcello_Keagan> You want vulgar, I could give you vulgar...
Marcello_Keagan builds a "bolt of lightning" with Forces 2.
<Asm0dai> (+Prime :))
<Marcello_Keagan> (Oh. Then what the hell can I do with Forces 2?)
AgentGrey smiles and has a Force shield up anyway. Technological Apparati and Devices are so handy, especially when dealing with RDs.
:-)<Asm0dai> (You can put up shields and filter forms of energy.)
<ST> (And direct existing Energies. Make a laser from a torch etc.)
<Asm0dai> (Or simply bend light away from yourself.)
<Marcello_Keagan> (Aah, okay. I'll have him be crushed by gravity then.)
<Asm0dai> (Nope... Forces 5 is that.)
<Marcello_Keagan> (Okay, I very vulgarly use one of my Spheres that can damage him.)
<ST> (Be aware you are in a Construct. Your Magick is likely to be dampened anyway. You have to try within your Paradigm, too. They took away your computer for sure. The Techies are not o dumb to leave you your Foci.)
<Marcello_Keagan> (Pays 1 Willpower)
<Asm0dai> (It'll be vulgar and dangerous for you, Dingo.)
<Marcello_Keagan> (Yes, I know, Asmo...)
<AgentGrey> !dice 4
<agww-dice> AgentGrey rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 7 3 7
AgentGrey has a Force shield up, too.
AgentGrey isn't so stupid to go near an RD without protection.
<ST> (I might note that holding cells for RDs are usually coated with Primium.)
<Marcello_Keagan> (And I don't know that...)
<ST> (I just wanted to make sure you'll understand when your stuff backfires.)
<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: Heh-heh... I note the absence of "if" in that statement.)
<ST> (^_^)
<Marcello_Keagan> (I know... Hey, I ain't going down without a fight!)
Hannibal_Golux catches some virtual tumbleweed and wonders where it came from.
AgentGrey looks at Marcello and has an annoying smile on his face.
MC_Farstrider offers "emergency preparedness" potions to all present.
Marvin_Black looks at the potion.
<Marvin_Black> What's that?
<Francois_Dupres> What's this, Ms Farstrider?
AC_Newton looks at MC's potions warily.
<MC_Farstrider> Oh, something to make one better able to cope with emergencies (hence its name).
<MC_Farstrider> AC, check it out with your machine.
Marvin_Black takes the potions.
<Marvin_Black> I hope your alchemy is good.
<AC_Newton> Well, the stuff looks okay to me. I think I'll try one!
<MC_Farstrider> (It's a combination of Better Body and Physiological Emotion Control -- Str, Dex, Int, Alertness +1, Stamina+3, Manip -1, Charisma -1)
<AC_Newton> (Yummy! - Although, I'd get Manip 0 then, LOL)
Asm0dai is thankful that he needs no such stuff when he is in the Web.
<Francois_Dupres> (MC: Glad you say that. I thought they were a healing potion ^^)
<MC_Farstrider> (Hopefully we will be able to avoid needing healing potions ;)
<Marvin_Black> MC: What is in this stuff?
<Asm0dai> (Marv, you are in the Web with us not on the Meteor)
<Marvin_Black> (Sorry, I forgot. @_@ - Ok, but he asks anyway...)
<MC_Farstrider> Oh, it's a potion I brewed up. It helps you cope with emergencies by stimulating hormone production and focusing energies.
Marvin_Black sits on another skullchair and watches some documentation about global warming, crimes and death scenes on MarvTV.
MC_Farstrider *giggles* at MarvTV reference
Asm0dai is waiting for everything to start and has created a Mahhjong table and is playing against Deadalus.
<ST> (Marcello, are you still trying something? If not we will try to rescue you)
Deadalus cheats.
<Asm0dai> (paradox hit him so hard the room got a blackout :))
<Marcello_Keagan> (just rescue me..)
<ST> (Asmo: Damn whiteouts ^_^)
<Asm0dai> (or blackout :))
<ST> (Okay, we'll be rescusing a very angry Thig Mage now
:-)Asm0dai puts on an asbestos suit :)
AgentGrey keeps on smiling at Marcello
<MC_Farstrider> whats the plan??
Stormbringer waits for orders.
<AC_Newton> Well, I think we will fly to the physical location of the Construct and start some fireworks, don't we?
Hannibal_Golux uploads the mission objectives to Stormbringer.
<MC_Farstrider> Teora do I need to do anything special to "fetch" something from home... (as in get thruy shields)?
Marvin_Black looks around "Oh.. Is it time to die now?"
<Hannibal_Golux> Storm: You are to accompany Newton. She will be your primary commander unless I override it.
<Hannibal_Golux> Everyone should probably keep an open com at all times.
MC_Farstrider chants quietly
<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5
<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 10 8 10 1
<Marvin_Black> So we hear our death screams?
<Stormbringer> Acknowledged
Deadalus turns into Worf and says... ahhh it is a Good day do die!
<Hannibal_Golux> Stormbringer will seek to cause havoc, fight destroy and cause a distraction while Newton and the others sweep down to rescue the Thig.
<Hannibal_Golux> (Marv: LOL)
<Francois_Dupres> (ST: can i launch my two protection rote ?)
<Teora> MC: I have a Corr Interface set up for you. You should be able to fetch your items through this window in my shielding
<ST> (Fran: Do it)

MC_Farstrider thanks Teora
<Francois_Dupres> (ST: 2 sux for the physical shield and 4 for the mental)
<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo, Marv... Shall we get ourselves web-running? Newton, get the Meteor in the air and let's get everyone active. Moonchild... um, you do that voodoo that you do.
<ST> (Francois_Dupres: Fine)
MC_Farstrider "fetches" kevlar vest from her closet

Marvin_Black progs himself an amulet, so he has a focus for protection spells if needed.
<Teora> NP, MC :-)
<AC_Newton> (Hi Nagash: We are in a game now, but you may watch)
<ST> (Ack. I'm lagging!)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Ack. And I'm slacking! ;) )

<Hannibal_Golux> ST: Sounds like you need to reboot your computer... or just restart IRC...
<ST> Hanni: I'll try a restart, MOMPL
<AC_Newton> Test
<Asm0dai> okay
ST has quit IRC (Leaving)
<AC_Newton> (Hm. Strange this window works)
<Hannibal_Golux> Just try restarting ST
<Asm0dai> how many wibnnodows do you have=
<Asm0dai> after 3 all irces tend to kill themselves)
<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: Yeah, they got some kind of suicide pact going on.
<Marvin_Black> (Suicidal IRCs? I thought Marvin would be bad
<Asm0dai> (LOL :))
<Francois_Dupres> afk a sec
AC_Newton has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
Stormbringer has quit IRC (Read error: EOF from client)
Teora has quit IRC (Leaving)
<Moira> while no one is looking
Moira gives Marvin a quick kiss
Hannibal_Golux regrets smashing his trinary palmpilot so settles on playing Frag instead of Quake Arena.
<Hannibal_Golux> Who wants to play?
<ST-Logger> Sorry. Need to reboot. Damn computers!!!
<Hannibal_Golux> OK. No probs

Now talking in #agww
Topic is '"<d1ng0> Garou are not so bad" Tonight's KotE was GREAT!... to bad noone is here to tell...
<ST> :-)
<Asm0dai> IT IS ALIVE!
AC_Newton is here again, too :-)
<Marvin_Black> Hmmm... Seems you have to check out the local VAs
AC_Newton smiles and waves.
<Hannibal_Golux> :)
<Hikari> RT is a silly hormone handicaped fella.... *gg*
<AC_Newton> Oh, Hikari! On board the Meteor again?
<Hikari> hai, so desu =^_^=
<Marvin_Black> RT is a nice guy.. Just no one has the will and the patience to deal with him ;)
AC_Newton is somewhat freaked out by RT
Hannibal_Golux spontaneously combusts... afk
<Hikari> Marvin, that could be right... none got the nerves to do do :-p
Moira hmms
Stormbringer was given attack instructions. Shall we start now?
AC_Newton looks at the robot.
<AC_Newton> Okie...
AC_Newton says into the comlink
<AC_Newton> Asmo, Hanni, we are set now. You, too?
<Moira> Is Stormbringer shielded -- I could use Prime to enchant it to resist Spirit/Magick attacks
<Hannibal_Golux> Ready to go!
<Marvin_Black> Ehhhmmmm... Just forget my presence, I'm used to it by now.
<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin? You ready?
Hannibal_Golux didn't forget
<AC_Newton> Moira: Of course he is shielded! I even glued some Primium pieces to him!
Hannibal_Golux never forgets
<Moira> ok -- good
Hannibal_Golux never forgets.... 8anything*
<Marvin_Black> I'm always ready for Death's embrace
<MC_Farstrider> hmms
<AC_Newton> So Hanni, we are about to fly to the Construct - shielded of course - get out Stormbringer an free Marcello?
<Hannibal_Golux> Yep. While Asmo, Marvin and myself nab the data.
<AC_Newton> What do we do with Agent Grey if he is around? Take him with us?
AC_Newton would very much like to do right that.
<Francois_Dupres> What are the rest of us supposed to do ?
<Hannibal_Golux> No. Um... We can either kill him or just leave him to know he's been had.
<Asm0dai> No, we leave him, preferably unconscious, so he doesn't end up in problems.
<AC_Newton> Hanni, I'm not going to kill him. After all, he helped us.
AC_Newton continues in thought: "...and he is really cute."
<Hannibal_Golux> Francois, work with Newton to help get the Thig.
<AC_Newton> Fran: Where are you located? I could fly by and fetch you. We are still in the MoonLab so far.
<Francois_Dupres> I am at home, Acey.
<Hannibal_Golux> Yes. It is better to leave him behind. Besides, I doubt he'll complain to his superiors since he would reveal that he had breached protocol and made a deal with RDs.
<AC_Newton> (wistfully) Maybe we can convince him to join us?
<Asm0dai> Hmm, leave that for later.
AC_Newton thinks he sure did look like a decent guy.
<Marvin_Black> Still discussing? I thought we got free tickets to Hell.
<Asm0dai> Once we start to attack, they'll send reinforcements and we cannot talk with him while there are his colleagues after us.
Moira concentrates.
<AC_Newton> Asmo: So we just have to be *fast*!
<Asm0dai> Make a Technocrat defect "fast"?
<AC_Newton> I thought we might just pack him up with the prisoner?
<Hannibal_Golux> Newton, we real need to discuss your overly trusting nature. I'm sure Agent Grey would backstab us in an instance if we were not doing it first.
AC_Newton looks big eyed at Hannibal.
<AC_Newton> I don't think he would do that!
Hannibal_Golux looks blankly at AC_Newton.
<Asm0dai> No, don't. We have to give him free choice of course. That is why we don't take him then and try to convince him slowly in the Spy's Demise afterwards.
<AC_Newton> Asmo: I think you have a point there
Francois_Dupres mutters 'Politics!'
<Hannibal_Golux> Newton, he is only working with us until he has figured out when we are disposable.
Marvin_Black thinks Techies are even more boring than the world itself.
<Hannibal_Golux> (Marvin: Now you are sounding *exactly* like the undead troll we met. ;))
<Asm0dai> Just take care you don't get hurt and that Grey stays alive.
AC_Newton nods. She will definitely see to it. She doesn't like to kill, especially not when the possible target is so cute.
<Asm0dai> We can convince him to join us later. First we have to take care of this lost Thig.
<AC_Newton> Of course!
Hannibal_Golux claps his hands together and rubs them.
<Hannibal_Golux> So... shall we go?
<Marvin_Black> Shall we die?
<AC_Newton> Teora? You have the coordinates.
Francois_Dupres sighs.
<Hannibal_Golux> Today is a good day to die.
<Francois_Dupres> I am ready.
Asm0dai prepares to start towards the construct in the web
<Asm0dai> Gentlemen... Shall we?
<Teora> Everything is pre-programmed.
<Marvin_Black> I guess we have to...
Hannibal_Golux is already in the DW waiting...
<AC_Newton> Okay, then we will start now.
Marvin_Black is in the DW, too.
Francois_Dupres is logged, too.
AC_Newton takes out the Meteor under her cloaking shield.
<Hannibal_Golux> (Francois: You don't need to be in the Web. I think you're with AC in the Meteor.)
<AC_Newton> The Construct is located in the Netherlands.
<Hannibal_Golux> Yay... We're going Dutch!
<ST> (Well, Marcello was there last, so it's very likely it's where he was brought ^_^)
<ST> (As long as he managed to get there. I can fetch him, too.)
<Francois_Dupres> (As you prefer -_-)
<Francois_Dupres> Acey, beam me up, please ^^
AC_Newton homes in on Francois and just gets him on board.
<AC_Newton> Teora, beam him up, please!
<Teora> Done.
<ST> (Francois suddenly stands in the command center of the Meteor)
<Francois_Dupres> Many thanks ^^
<ST> (It's a nice, orderly and shiny room with very little instruments.)
<Francois_Dupres> It's the first time that I am aboard an umbral ship
Francois_Dupres looks aroud with gleaming eyes.
MC_Farstrider waves in greeting.
<ST> (Fran: You'd say it looks even more modern than anything you saw in Star Trek ^_^ Acy sits at a holoprojection that looks like the controls of the shuttles in Earth: Final Conflict.)
Francois_Dupres waves to Acey.
<Francois_Dupres> Hum, where do I sit?
<AC_Newton> Teora, please?
Teora materializes comfortable floating seats for Fran, MC and her friends.
MC_Farstrider smiles.
<Francois_Dupres> Thanks.
<Teora> No problem.
MC_Farstrider introduces herself.
Francois_Dupres tries not to look too startled.
Teora smiles.
MC_Farstrider is Moonchild Farstrider, Daughter of Unicorn, Speaker with Dreams...
<MC_Farstrider> and you are?
<ST> As you sit down, you can view a perfect holoprojection of the Earth's surface in front of you. It looks as if there was nothing in between you and the outside. As the Meteor flies towards the Construct, it is an eerie feeling to see the landscape hush by.
<MC_Farstrider> How curious! It's much faster than by moonbridge.
<AC_Newton> Moonbridge?!
<Teora> The Cloaking shield is activated. It is very unlikely that we are scanned.
<AC_Newton> Hm-hm... Unlikely doesn't sound 100% fine.
Asm0dai prepares to jump into the sector as Grey brings down the defenses.
<MC_Farstrider> Yes, a way of traveling across the Umbra. The Changing Breeds use them a lot.
AgentGrey has left Keagan and fetched a coffee from the Cafeteria in the Construct.
<Francois_Dupres> We'll show you, if you want, Acey.
<MC_Farstrider> (I see that changing and think of the Matrix and its Agents.)
<Marcello_Keagan> (Me too)
<Francois_Dupres> I am skilled enough to open a temporary portal to the Netherrealm.
<Francois_Dupres> (he :))
<AC_Newton> Are you? Cool.
AC_Newton just smiles at MC. Changing Breeds? Whatever...
<MC_Farstrider> Hmm, so do we land in the Penumbra?
AC_Newton frowns deeply.
<Hannibal_Golux> (I have the Matrix soundtrack playing as we speak. In fact, I've just put on to the track they play for Morpheus' breakout.)
<AC_Newton> Land in the Penumbra? We do no such thing, I'm afraid.
<MC_Farstrider> How do you transition across the Gauntlet?
AgentGrey looks pretty uncomfortable as he sets out to lower the defenses of the base...
<AC_Newton> Well, I just activate the engines of the ship, of course. As soon as I'm sufficiently far away from any planetary mass, I activate the oscillation drive.
<MC_Farstrider> I can make a doorway between the otherworld and the "real world".
<AC_Newton> Well, the oscillation drive makes a kind of hyperspace accessible...
AgentGrey deactivates the security measures of the computer where the data is stored. He takes care to isolate this computer from the rest of the construct's mainframes, though.
<MC_Farstrider> Hmmm, what do they call it? Oh yes, I guess that's a DimSci Device?
<MC_Farstrider> (thinks of DimSum)
<AC_Newton> (LOL)
<Francois_Dupres> We'd better just follow Acey's procedure, she's acustomed to it.
AgentGrey sends out the codesignal to Asmodai and Hannibal
<Hannibal_Golux> Game on, folks.
<AC_Newton> Fran: Well, it's simple flight maneuvers. Nothing spacial.
Asm0dai blazes inside with a Mjollnir in hand and the armor turned into a long coat.
Asm0dai is inside.
<Asm0dai> Deadalus prepare me a jump out!
Francois_Dupres thinks Asm0dai as read too much comics ;o
<Deadalus> Roger that!
Asm0dai look at the system and runs the shortest route looking at the defenses and layout,
<Asm0dai> (where are you two!?)
Hannibal_Golux turns into a streak of blue electricity and zips in behind
Marvin_Black rushes inside his black gun in Hand a coat with pentagrams and symbols appears and he seems ready to get the gun blazing.
<ST> Some online MiBs are sitting in the webspace occupied of the construct's databases.
<ST> Obviously the area Grey deactivated wasn't the only security fence.
Asm0dai starts to sneak up behind them. He comms the others: Watch it, we take them by surprise!
<E-MiB> !dice 4
<agww-dice> E-MiB rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 4 7 9
<Asm0dai> (I roll a stealth roll?)
E-MiB perceives a presence approaching and whirls around.
Asm0dai twips him as he turns.

<ST> (Ok. You had the surprise ^_^)
Hannibal_Golux forms into a crackling electrical giant.
<Asm0dai> (hehe 3 suxx :))
<ST> The twip'ing of the E-MiB alarmed his colleagues.
Hannibal_Golux zaps another E-MiB.
<Asm0dai> (Isn't three enough to get most of them?)
Marvin_Black fires a black ray at one of them.
<ST> (Asmo: They were scattered and about 8 of them.)
<Asm0dai> (Oh great...)
Asm0dai prepares to twip a few more.
<ST> (Asmo: You twip the two within your reach.)
Asm0dai comms Deadalus to prepare the surprise...
<ST> (Hanni got another, I guess.)
Hannibal_Golux will attempt to scatter a shock field to hit some nearby.
E-MiB shoots a Forces beam at the intruders.

<Asm0dai> (6 suxx + 10 damage from the gun :))
Asm0dai smirks and notes something like "Leaving so soon?"
<Marvin_Black> (What about my bad luck ray?)
<ST> (The beam went through and luckily hit another of the guy who got derezzed without realizing what hit him)
Hannibal_Golux is going to try electrocuting that MiB again.
<ST> Marv: Did you roll?)
<Marvin_Black> (Yes, somewhere up there.. Shall I roll again?)
<ST> (Marv: Please!)
<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<ST> (Ok. 1 sux)
E-MiB No.7 discovers that his Force cannon explodes and derezzes him.
<ST> (Marv: Diff 6 - Entr 3)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Can I use a Corr + Forces effect to transmit an electrical force inside the MiB's body, overriding his connection to zap at the user forcing him to disconnect)
<Marvin_Black> (And Prime 1 ;) 1 Sux, yes)
<ST> (Hanni: Should work, yes)
<Hannibal_Golux> !dice 4
<agww-dice> Hannibal_Golux rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 7 7 2
<Asm0dai> (DON'T! you crash that part of the WEB!)
<Hannibal_Golux> It's targetted at the user, not the web.
<ST> (Marv: Yup. The poor guy got derezzed because his gear malfunctioned. It looked to hm as if his gun exploded)
Asm0dai says o shit as he sees Hannibal making electrical discharges in the Web
<Marvin_Black> hmm... A little mishap?
Marvin_Black fires another ray
E-MiB 8 tries to doge
<E-MiB> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 10 5 10 8
E-MiB blinks out as his user gets an electrical shock
<Marvin_Black> (3 Sux, two 10s)
<Hannibal_Golux> (I think that was 3 suxx to shock the MiB into a twip)
<ST> (Marv: What was your target?
<Marvin_Black> (another MiB)
<ST> Marv: Well, you targeted the guy that was just hit by Hanni, too
<Marvin_Black> (What do I hit and what's the effect?)
<Hannibal_Golux> Double team!
<ST> Marv: Now the poor guy experiences his gear to short out badly, electrocuting him in the process
<E-MiB> !dice 3

<ST> (Well, the E-Mibs are cleaned out now
<Marvin_Black> Seems to be a stench of bad luck in the air
<Hannibal_Golux> Hopefully not for us
Hannibal_Golux has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
Hannibal_Golux has joined #agww
<ST> (re Hanni)
<Hannibal_Golux> ...he says getting disconnected...
<ST> (LOL)
Nagash42 has quit IRC
Asm0dai reloads the mjollnir with a clip that appears from thin air
Marvin_Black looks at his gun "Works great. Those inscripions I found in 1001 Curses for everyone are powerful"
Asm0dai thinks that checked guns are always better then random curse guns...
<Francois_Dupres> (afk 15 sec)
<ST> (You see a kind of grey walls before you now)
Asm0dai checks the walls
Hannibal_Golux analyzes the walls.
<ST> (The walls look seemless and flur like they are made from energy
<Francois_Dupres> (back)
Asm0dai checks if he can drop it with a good hit with a mjollnir...
<ST> (How so?)
<Asm0dai> ( try to see if the code can be broken with enough forces damage :))
<Asm0dai> (that should be forces 1, no?)
<ST> (Int + Comp, Diff 8)
Hannibal_Golux activates a deICE program.
<Asm0dai> !dice 8
<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 1 8 2 7 9 3 6
<ST> (2sux)
Marvin_Black tries to analyze the wall's code via his computer skills
<Asm0dai> (yes o ST ?)
<ST> You determine tat the walls are super charged and might throw back a forces attack at you
<Asm0dai> hmmm and a icon attack?
<Hannibal_Golux> ST: Can I roll for a deICE program?
<ST> (Marv Int+ComP)
<Asm0dai> (that would be forces 1 scanning)
<ST> (Hann sure)
<Hannibal_Golux> !dice 10
<agww-dice> Hannibal_Golux rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 1 9 7 1 1 1 9 4 8

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 5 8 10 5 8 7 1
<Hannibal_Golux> My program can't get through this wall.
<Marvin_Black> (any sux?)
<ST> Asmo: How would you want to do the icon attack, then I'll tell you what would happen)
Asm0dai is too busy checking the walls
<ST> Hanni: Well, you get a proggy and think it should work fine
<ST> (Marv 2 sux - you get the same result Asmo this - the walls would throw back forces at you)
<Asm0dai> (i'd shoot with the mjollnir at the wall icon, beforehand checking it for the weakest point with entropy 1)
<Marvin_Black> (Do I think I could be able to hack them?)
<ST> (Asmo: If you use Forces with the Mjoellnir, it would bounce)
Asm0dai thinks what arethe chances for the defenses to fall after all this shooting and sighs
<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: btw, are you using 2nd or Rev botch rules, although unless it was diff 9 that wasn't a 2nd ed botch... just asking)
<Asm0dai> (entropy 3 :) 1 quint)
<ST> (Marv: Hack the wall? Hm... 8 sux at diff 9)
<ST> (Marv Int + Comp)
<ST> (Hanni: 2nd ed)
<Marvin_Black> (Hacking specialty bonus?)
<ST> (Marv Yup)
Marvin_Black tries to ready a prog to bring the walls down "I'll try to bring some hand made entropy to it)
<Hannibal_Golux> (OK... um, ouch. 2nd Ed botch rules hurts big time)
<Marvin_Black> !dice 7
<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 7 1 8 9 9 4

<Asm0dai> (stayka can i say that and do a bit of entropy 3?
:))<Marvin_Black> Dammit.. Didn't get through
<ST> (Hanni: Botches are fun, though :-)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Botches are, indeed, great fun.)
<ST> Marv: Well, at least not that way ^_^)
<Asm0dai> (entropy 3 :), 1 quint)
Hannibal_Golux will try to directly hack the wall in that case.
<ST> (Asmo: Entr 3 - you can try :-)
<Asm0dai> !dice 4
<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 7 4 6
<Hannibal_Golux> (Diff 9 to hack wall?)
<ST> (Asmo 1 sux)

<ST> Hanni: It's a devious thingy...
<Hannibal_Golux> !dice 10
<agww-dice> Hannibal_Golux rolls the dice and gets the following results: 5 4 4 2 2 6 6 6 4 7
<ST> Asmo: How fast are you?
<Hannibal_Golux> Um No suxx
<Asm0dai> (extremely... i am in the web am i not?
Marvin_Black aims with his gun at the walls "Dammit...." and shoots (Prime 1 / Entropy 3)
Hannibal_Golux doesn't like the omen of that "...6 6 6 ..." in the roll... ;)
<Marvin_Black> !dice 4
<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 9 3 6
<ST> Asmo: Ok... You may get through.
Asm0dai passes through the flickerin wall noticing something like: "Oh look..."
<ST> Marv: 2 suxc... The wall flickers shortly
<ST> Asmo: The Wall iis up a gain behind you
Asm0dai checks the secret surpries stats to see if it can tear its way out in the case of a fast getaway
<ST> ASmo: Behind the wall you see a corridor with lots of closed doors
<Hannibal_Golux> (Can I try a Prime + Corr effect to see if I can tear a hole/gateway through where they've been weakening it enough for us pass through?)
Asm0dai starts a tracking procedure with a combined forces/corrspondence sensing effect to see what is inside
<Asm0dai> !dice 4
<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 5 9 8 7
<Asm0dai> (4 suxx :))
<ST> The colour is an eerie green, and brighter lines run along the walls and floor
<ST> It looks somewhat like it was taken out of Tron
<Hannibal_Golux> (Yay for Tron reference)
<ST> Asmo: In the rooms you feel echos of Data
<Asm0dai> Oh these guys seriusly need to think of some redecorating.. .come on! Green is so passe...
<ST> (Tron had blue hues ^_^)
<Asm0dai> i am searching for data forming a mind
<Asm0dai> (weren't the base lines green/blue ?)
<Asm0dai> (me hasn't seen tron for a while)
<ST> Asmo: You "feel" three such info "heaps" behind three of the doors
Asm0dai vhecks what heaps are locked in
<ST> (Asmo: Well, it was blue with a very fain turqoise/green inkling. And red lines etc :-)
Asm0dai adds a mind scanning to the effect to find someoen trying to escape
<Hannibal_Golux> (Is Asmo the only one there?)
<Asm0dai> !dice 4
<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 10 9 1 2
<Asm0dai> (1 suxx for adding mind to tehe mix)
<ST> Hanni: If you got a flicker in the wall, you can slip in, too (Entr 3 can do the trick, as Asmo showed)
<ST> (Marv did you go through, too)?
<Marvin_Black> (Yup)
<Hannibal_Golux> (And if I don't have Entropy?)
<Asm0dai> (find someoen who has :) like marc for instance :))
<Hannibal_Golux> (I'm trying to use Corr + Prime to prize open a gateway through it.)
<Asm0dai> (or call me :))
<ST> (Asmo: You would sayone mind is closed in, te other two move freely. They "feel" more confident, too.
Asm0dai goes towards the closed in mind
Marvin_Black looks around has his gun ready to shoot
<ST> (Hanni: Good move. Try it!
<Marcello_Keagan> (me notes primium)
<ST> (Marc before you you see Asmo)
<ST> !dice 1
<agww-dice> ST rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4
Asm0dai starts running check rotes on the room to see how it is protected (first computer to check the code, then sensory effects)
<ST> (Ok. I'll go for the faint probabiliy that Asmo scanned when Grey just entered your cell again)
<ST> Asmo: The enclosed Mind suddenly isn't to be felt anymore.
Asm0dai scans the room.
Asm0dai prepares to enter the room.
<ST> Asmo: Well, you get signatures that tell you it might be a primium countermeasure
<Asm0dai> (computer roll first ?)
Marvin_Black looks aroud und sighs "Hurry, virtual Death seems to be anywhere" he whispers
<Asm0dai> (primium in the WEB?!?)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Can I try my effect? I want to get after him.)
<ST> (Asmo: The reflection of it.)
<ST> (Hanni: Yup)
<Hannibal_Golux> !dice 4
<agww-dice> Hannibal_Golux rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 7 5 10
<Marvin_Black> (I'm with Asmo)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Marv: So you guys just left me behind... gee, thanks)
<Asm0dai> (Why don't you call one of us ?)
<ST> Asmo: Well, Marcello is held in a Primium cell down there. If you want to get to his representation online, you have to bypass that to
<Hannibal_Golux> (Well, that's at least 3 suxx)
<Hannibal_Golux> (I presume)
<ST> (Hanni: Ok. You made it through, too)
<Asm0dai> (oh but i only need his mind...)
<Hannibal_Golux> (I'll catch up with them)
<Hannibal_Golux> Wait up guys! We need to stick together... at least talk to me, damn it.
Asm0dai tries to check if it is possible to open the room with pure hacking
<ST> (Asmo: If his mind would be free, he could corr / Spirit out, too)
<Asm0dai> Just jump in goddamn it we are short on time!
<Asm0dai> (use corr 3)
<Asm0dai> (i can provide you with a nnchore so you need only 1 suxx)
<Asm0dai> (anchor)
<Hannibal_Golux> (I'll zap straight to them with a Corr effect)
<Hannibal_Golux> !dice 4
<agww-dice> Hannibal_Golux rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 3 2 2
<Hannibal_Golux> OW!
<Hannibal_Golux> ARG!
<Hannibal_Golux> DAMN!
<Hannibal_Golux> OUCH!
<Asm0dai> (SHIT!)
<ST> (Hanni: You are there - and see them standing in front of a wall...)
Asm0dai hannibal?
<ST> (Hanni: LOL
<Hannibal_Golux> Hey guys.
<ST> (Now you're in - I wanted to let you go there, but that dcie roll needs to be punished :-)
Hannibal_Golux cries
<ST> Hanni zaps in and smashes into the wall with a lough *thud*
Asm0dai tries to contact hannibal
<Hannibal_Golux> Duuuu.....hhh
ST bounces and falls right before Asmos feet
<ST> He
<ST> Not me
<Asm0dai> (ahhha)
<ST> *g*
<Asm0dai> Oh here you are... hat kept you?
<Marvin_Black> (?_?)
<Marvin_Black> Oh.. Nice entrances..
Hannibal_Golux shakes his head to recover.
<Hannibal_Golux> That's gonna hurt in the morning.
AgentGrey perceives someting at the door and frowsns
Asm0dai thinks you should pick a aspirin
Asm0dai prepares to open the door...
AgentGrey makes sure that Marcello is secure and decides to look out of the cell
<Marvin_Black> I just would have used the wall.. But you must know what way you want to die
<Asm0dai> Okay one of us need to go and get the computer data
<ST> (Asmo: Well, strangely enough te door opens by itself ^_^)
Asm0dai looks bewildered right in Grey's face
<Asm0dai> ummm hi!
<AgentGrey> But there is no one to see outside
<ST> (Only Mind)
<ST> (^_^)
<Asm0dai> (phew!)
<ST> (You are in the plane "above")
<Asm0dai> 8umm how do you mean?)
<Marvin_Black> (Marvin would have known it if they were busted
;) )<Asm0dai> (aren't we all in the digital web though we have only different acess?)
<ST> (Well, this is the represensation of the Construct in the Web... They are not in that realm)
<ST> (Asmo: Nope The Construct is on Earth. But there are connections to the Web)
<Marvin_Black> So what now?
<Hannibal_Golux> Well let's get inside this thing.
<Hannibal_Golux> I wonder how AC and the others are doing?
<ST> (Asmo: Otherwise the think with the Meteor out side wouldn't exactly make sens)
<ST> (Asmo: Anyway, I thought you wanted to obtain the Data there and not play around with prisoners...)
<Asm0dai> (ahh sorry)
AC_Newton parks the Meteor in some distance to the Construct, well cloaked.
Asm0dai starts shutting down the rooms defenses since he has a perfect oportunity
<Francois_Dupres> So folks, how are we doing this ?
AC_Newton looks at MC, Moira, Stormbringer and Fran.
<AC_Newton> So, now we are to wait for that guy to be brought outside.
Asm0dai tells Hannibal and Marv to find the databanks and that he will join them soon.
<MC_Farstrider> *nod*
Moira nods
<Asm0dai> (AFK FOR 5 mins... me disarms the defences)
<ST> (The action in the Web was pretty fast - Agent Grey was just entering Marcello's cell to make him ready for transfer to another NWO construct.)
<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: We should wait for the signal from AC that the attack has started.)
<AgentGrey> So, Mr.Keagan, as you were still uncooperative, I have been ordered to transfer you to some colleagues of PsychOp for further processing...
Francois_Dupres tries to remain calm
Marcello_Keagan smirks deviantly...
<AC_Newton> Fran: Well... As soon as we see they bring him out - Grey said something about a black car or so - we will barge in and free the prisoner
<AgentGrey> So would you please follow me?
AgentGrey takes out some handcuffs and cuffs Marcello.
<AC_Newton> Fran: Or do you have a better idea?
<Francois_Dupres> No, not really. I am not used to these kind of things. I am mostly a scholar, you know.
<MC_Farstrider> hmmm
AgentGrey leads Marcello down a corridor, frowning as he has the impression he is somehow watched.
<MC_Farstrider> There is Grey and the OoH ... a driver whom else?
AC_Newton makes a face. According to Agent Grey they are only the Prisoner, he and the driver... At least she hopes so.
<MC_Farstrider> Maybe a wide area stun effect?
<AC_Newton> Can you do that?
<Francois_Dupres> I can summon my electrical elementals and order them to shock them until they turn unconscious.
<MC_Farstrider> Stormbringer can short out the cars elec system.
<AC_Newton> I think we should get out of the ship and sneak towards the location... I don't think it's wise to take the Meteor closer. Her Energy Cells might show up on the scanners, cloaking shild or not
<MC_Farstrider> elementals aree not very bright -- we don't want to hurt the mage accidentally
<AC_Newton> Fran: Can you remote-control this "elemental"
<MC_Farstrider> how about we go to the ground and then transfer to the penumbra and walk there that way?
<Francois_Dupres> you still have your stun gun Acey ?
<Francois_Dupres> Ac: yes
AC_Newton has her protonpistl, sure
<AC_Newton> Well, that's good.
<Francois_Dupres> i could ask for a big flash, and acey could stun them while they are blind
<AC_Newton> MC: I still fail to understand what this Penumbra is supposed to be
<MC_Farstrider> the spiritual reflection of the material world
<MC_Farstrider> I can show you once we're do0wn
AC_Newton frowns. "Ask for"?? If it's a remote controlled device, one should only need to push the proper buttons!
<MC_Farstrider> errdown
<Francois_Dupres> think of this aas a parallele world with a different vibration frequency ^^
<AC_Newton> ran: A parallel universe!
AC_Newton understands parallel universes
Francois_Dupres chuckle
<MC_Farstrider> is there a safe place to "beam" down to?
<AC_Newton> Er,, I landed the Meteor already.
<MC_Farstrider> ok
<AC_Newton> She is parked about 10km awa from the construct
<MC_Farstrider> lets go out then
AC_Newton leads them to the hatch
<Francois_Dupres> (as once i am outside i ll summon my elemental)
<MC_Farstrider> best to leave it in the umbra for now
<AC_Newton> (It's probably wise not to use to much Corr effects this close to a Construct
<MC_Farstrider> ok
<MC_Farstrider> I draw my athame and chant a moment
<AC_Newton> I would have Teora beam us out, but we'd better not expend too much energy)
Francois_Dupres nod
<MC_Farstrider> I take my athame and draw a doorway in the air
<AC_Newton> MC: Outside the Ship, I hope 1_^)
AC_Newton gawks at MC
<MC_Farstrider> yes
<MC_Farstrider> I draw a pentigram on the doorway in the air
<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5
<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 7 5 1 1
AC_Newton pulls out her tricorder and scans it
<MC_Farstrider> 1 sux
<AC_Newton> !dice 4
<agww-dice> AC_Newton rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 2 7 2
<Francois_Dupres> ( i need to go afk :/)
<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5
<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 5 9 10 7 7
<MC_Farstrider> thats better
<MC_Farstrider> 6 sux
AC_Newton sees it's a door into some realm that oviously is very dangerous.
<MC_Farstrider> I push on the "door" and it opens
<MC_Farstrider> I step thru
<Moira> I step thru
AC_Newton got a reading of something that was very likely as uninhabitable as the sunny side of Mercury
MC_Farstrider becons (sp?) to the rest of the party
<ST> (Fran: You have? Aww)
<MC_Farstrider> AC come on
<AC_Newton> (F/me looks at MC and seems to be very afraid
<AC_Newton> MC: This isn't safe! I just scanned it!
Moira walks back to AC and gentely gives her a hug -- its ok really
<Moira> !dice 8
<agww-dice> Moira rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 7 10 4 9 1 4 1
<Francois_Dupres> (bakc sory)
<Francois_Dupres> !dice 3
<agww-dice> Francois_Dupres rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 8 10
AC_Newton feels better now
<Francois_Dupres> 4 sux for the summoning
<Moira> 4 sux on kindle calm
AC_Newton decides to follow Moira after all
Moira wakes back into the penumbra
<ST> (Ok)
<MC_Farstrider> OK
<Francois_Dupres> lets go ^^
<MC_Farstrider> this is the spiritual reflection of this area
AC_Newton looks around, and even though she is moderately calm now, she still feels visibly uncomfortable
Asm0dai is back
<ST> (MC describe :-)
<Asm0dai> (what is going on in short stayka please inform me via PM)
<MC_Farstrider> do be aware that its likely when we get close to the construct there will be Weaver webs about
<Francois_Dupres> MC, who is going to watch the othe side ?
<MC_Farstrider> good point
<Francois_Dupres> ok i ll do it ^^
<ST> (Wat a luck that Asmo cures AC from the Arachnophobia for now)
MC_Farstrider chants a bit (in Iwapo', which is vaguely like Enochian)
<Francois_Dupres> (i write a spell in my pda in latin to allow me to seee the real world, rote spirite 1)
<MC_Farstrider> and summons a guardian
<Francois_Dupres> !dice 3
<agww-dice> Francois_Dupres rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 5 8
<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5
<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 9 5 6 3
<ST> (Fran, MC: Ok)
<MC_Farstrider> 3 sux
<Francois_Dupres> (3 sux for peaking)
<MC_Farstrider> ok thats handles that
Asm0dai runs towards the data banks
<ST> !dice 5
<agww-dice> ST rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 6 1 3 1
<ST> Ack!!!
<Francois_Dupres> (the real world is showing in my PDA screen
)<Francois_Dupres> (nice roll ^^)
Moira asks NAVI where the construct is
<ST> (MC: You are lucky. The constructs RD sensors just had a little short-out)
<Moira> ::working::
<ST> (MC normally the Spirit you called would have triggered an alarm)
<Moira> He displays a Airt to the construct
<ST> (Moira: Well, the result matches the data given by AgentGrey)
<Moira> should we just walk, or do you want me to make a moonbridge?
<Francois_Dupres> (what do we see on the other side of the gauntlet ?)
<AC_Newton> I'm for walking!
<Francois_Dupres> walk
<MC_Farstrider> ok
<Francois_Dupres> i dont want to trigger watcher
<ST> (FRan: You mean in the Umbra?)
Asm0dai as he comes into the databanks starts ripping it all of, copying the data and senind copies to Deadalus
MC_Farstrider signs "We're off to see the Wizard..."
<Francois_Dupres> (no on the real world, since we are in the umbra )
MC_Farstrider giggles
AC_Newton thinks this parallels dimension is certainly not to her liking.
<Hannibal_Golux> (Asmo: We can't rip them yet... aren't we waiting for AC to start the attack to cause the distraction?)
Moira offers her hand to friendship... its ok AC really
<Asm0dai> (okay... i'll wait and prepare everything to start at the same moment)
<ST> (Fran: Ok. You see a park landscape, and some grassland
<Marvin_Black> (Just tell me when it's time for a bombshell ;)
)<MC_Farstrider> did someone get SB?
<ST> (In the distane there is a building that looks like some factory)
<Francois_Dupres> (ok i ll check every minute or so while we are walking)
AC_Newton looks at Moira.
<MC_Farstrider> (is the robot here?)
Francois_Dupres look at Acey
<Hannibal_Golux> (We should probably both or all of us simultaneously download different segments. It will speed up the whole process, we can then colate the data afterwards.)
<MC_Farstrider> I need to close the door
<AC_Newton> Moira: You might think it's okay, but I really do not like this parallel universe
<Francois_Dupres> you were in Venus, and a simple walk in the penumbra is giving you trouble ?
<MC_Farstrider> we don;t wamnt random spierits crossing opver
<ST> (MC I presume the robot just went with us)
<ST> (MC he isn't for conversation ^_^)
<MC_Farstrider> ok - the door was closed and we're nearing the building
<AC_Newton> Fran: Well, the Venus was all as I expected it to be.
<AC_Newton> But this ... is plain weird!
<MC_Farstrider> in the penumbra newar the building you notice webbing on trees and
<MC_Farstrider> a strong feeling of statis
AC_Newton thinks this all looks very scary
<Francois_Dupres> that's just youhavent boldy gone into yet ;o
MC_Farstrider walk on
<AC_Newton> This looks like taken from some horror movie!
<Francois_Dupres> oh really ?
<MC_Farstrider> (I'm doing a "sensory sweep" forward (life1/spirit1/corr2)
AC_Newton doesn't like this webbing one single bit and expects some evil monsters jumping out any moment
MC_Farstrider chants a bit
<Francois_Dupres> dont you etherithe say something akin to " go boldly where no one as gone before ? "
<MC_Farstrider> then stares
<MC_Farstrider> !dice 5
<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 7 10 9 1
<Asm0dai> (LOL :))
<MC_Farstrider> 3 sux
<AC_Newton> Fran: Er... That's more the quote of our Void Engineer "competition"
<Francois_Dupres> ( i 'd like to surrond us with an false aura, so that spirit and scanner will pick us as pattern spider)
<Francois_Dupres> arent you explorer too ?
<MC_Farstrider> thats an excellent idea
<ST> (MC well, in that "factory" you feel several persons
<Francois_Dupres> by you i mean your tradition
<Marcello_Keagan> ((Me thinks SoE are more the kind of: Up Up and Awaaaaaaaaayyrgfghhhhh kind of people )))
<Francois_Dupres> (he)
<ST> (Marcello: Hehe)
<Hannibal_Golux> (Marcello: LOL)
<MC_Farstrider> ok where do you want to recross into the real world?
<Francois_Dupres> !dice 3
<agww-dice> Francois_Dupres rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 2 2
<MC_Farstrider> 1 sux
<Francois_Dupres> 1 sux for the aura blanling
<Francois_Dupres> blanking
<AC_Newton> Marcwello: Sure we have explorers, oo. But I *know* the quote was from *them*
<MC_Farstrider> I'd suggest you "hide" the robot when we recross
<Francois_Dupres> we could hide by the car and wiat there ?
<Francois_Dupres> and cross just when the prisonner will be near by
MC_Farstrider offers marc an "emergancy preparedness" potion
AgentGrey ushered Marcello into the car and told the driver to start
<MC_Farstrider> err franc
<Francois_Dupres> ok i am late ^^
<MC_Farstrider> the robot can shot the cars engine
<ST> (A black car leaves the factory..
<MC_Farstrider> *sigh*
<MC_Farstrider> AC you there?
<Francois_Dupres> spirit of ligthing appear in the material world and make a big flash
<AC_Newton> MC: Sure.
Hikari has quit IRC (Quit: Wish you all lots of fun and a good night or day whereever you happend to be ;-))
AC_Newton tells Stormbringer to shoot the engine
<ST> (The robot acknowledges the order
MC_Farstrider (Stormbringer) Raises its arm pointing at the car
<AC_Newton> MC, can he shoot from here anyway?
<MC_Farstrider> line of sight if he can see it he can effetc it
<AC_Newton> Cool.
<AC_Newton> And *they* can't see us?
Francois_Dupres hope the flash worked
<MC_Farstrider> He rolls his Gnosis vs 6 to do the charm. We're in the Umbra.
<MC_Farstrider> 8 dice
<Stormbringer> !dice 8
<agww-dice> Stormbringer rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 3 2 6 7 5 1 5
<MC_Farstrider> 3 sux
<Stormbringer> (Ok. He hits)
<ST> (You see that the shot hits the car fair and square)
<MC_Farstrider> that car stops (the engine died for no reason it appears)
<ST> (MC: You err... I'm afraid, the cars blows up in a fireball...)
<MC_Farstrider> That's not good
<ST> (grins evilly)
<Francois_Dupres> suspence ...
<ST> (Okay. And the conclusion to this will be in the next session)
MC_Farstrider giggles
<ST> Well, it's 00:01 now
ST loves to feel evil.
<ZenCadet> Welcome to the dark side, Stayka...
<MC_Farstrider> as its 6pm here
Asm0dai hates stuff like this, but ok :)
<ST> (MC time to get Dinner?)
Hannibal_Golux has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<MC_Farstrider> nod
ZenCadet is struggling to keep his eyes open. It was a fun but very exhausting convention he came back from.
MC_Farstrider hugs everyone goodbye
ST thinks this is a perfect cliffhanger ^_^
Marvin_Black puts up a sign "To be continued"
