 Session Start: Tue May 20 18:17:25 2003

<La_ST> Ah well, let's get to the game and first some notes

ZenCadet is now known as Hannibal_Golux

d1ng0 is now known as Marcello_Keagan

<Asm0dai> i am ready to start...

<La_ST> So, this time two things are majorly important...

<La_ST> 1. We are trying to do heavy action turn-wise... As I'm an utter chaot, I hope you remind me ^_^

<La_ST> 2. It is majorly important this time to separate ICand OOC. Especially as the players will be aware of some stuff that the chars will not know

<Asm0dai> okay let's then enforce the parenthesis rule!

<La_ST> Yup.

<Hannibal_Golux> (agreed)

<Asm0dai> (from now on all comments in parentheses like this

:))

<La_ST> Every OOC stuff does have to be in ()

<MC_Farstrider> (/me nods)

<La_ST> (*smile*)

Marcello_Keagan (nods)

<Marvin_Black> (<--- Understood)

MC_Farstrider smiles supportively to Marc

<La_ST> (The problem is that I need to do descriptions where the players will be aware of some things right away ^_^ I hope you won't cheat ^_^)

<La_ST> (I could do things in /msg but that would be very annoying...)

<Hannibal_Golux> Additionally, (sans parenthesis until actual game start) can I suggest that we all respect each other's wishes to be involved and wait for Stayka to get to us to deal with our actions. Stayka, I still recommend the method I suggested last week.

<La_ST> Okay, let's see where we left...

Marcello_Keagan agrees with that too

<La_ST> Hanni: Well, as I said, I will try to manage that ^_^

Hannibal_Golux nods

<Marcello_Keagan> For those that don't know what we are talking about.. it's called Camera time :)

<La_ST> Hanni: That's what I meant in 1.) taking turns when actual action is running...

<Asm0dai> yep... make a clear difference from the scenes...

<La_ST> Well, this session will be pretty well suited for it anyway

<Asm0dai> and we should assign an order of action for general situations...

<Marvin_Black> (Stayka, perhaps you should say when everything's stated and we have to wait ^_^)

<La_ST> Yup

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, while I can't quite remember exactly where we left off, this session is looking to be wall-to-wall action here, so treating every PC action as a turn is worth pounds to the smoothness of the game.

<La_ST> It would also be nice if people (I don't look at Asmo...) would let me write down my descriptions first before asking after every sentence what is going on next...

<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: Perhaps it is worth adding something like "(cont)" at the end of split descriptions.)

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, (cont) or (more) whatever takes your fancy.

<Asm0dai> (this was so wondrously unobvious :)

<La_ST> (Hanni: I don't have unlimited characters here. Sometimes I don't see when my line is over)

<La_ST> (Hanni: ircII has a certain char limit per line that you just don't see=

<La_ST> (Ah yes, and one more thing... )

<La_ST> (I'd like to emphasize that I don't request rolls for everything. When I know the chars have sufficient dots in their abilities, then they can just do stuff - I just want to have it described nicely)

<La_ST> (I think for example Computer rolls for Hanni, Dan, Asmo, and Marv are just spamming and they are usually working out anyway)

<La_ST> Any protests?

<Asm0dai> (umkay boss...)

<MC_Farstrider> (no)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Aw? I don't get to roll my 10 dice?? ;) No probs....)

<La_ST> (Well, so far creating stuff was mainly stupid rolling that worked out even when I set pretty high difficulties)

<Marvin_Black> (Umkay)

<Asm0dai> (just another thing... i'll up the first few eps of planetary to dingo's... followed by some RPG books)

<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: Although most of this should still come down to your prompting. I mean, in some cases even having 10 dice is not enough. :) )

<La_ST> (So I'd say if you had 8-10 dice for any action, then just describe it to me nicely. I can still ask for dice rolls, but default I think we can just leave them)

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, that sounds fine.)#

<Asm0dai> (great... i am up for that...)

<La_ST> (Well, of course if you try to hack into the computer of Autocthonia, then I'd say you wouldn't be able to just do it *g*)

<Asm0dai> (okay that IS too much... :))

<La_ST> (Hehe)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Aw... ;) )

<Marvin_Black> (Why not? Shouldn't be that hard ;) )

<MC_Farstrider> hmms

<La_ST> So, let's see where we left last time... I think we battered down some barriers and stand now in front of another field that blocks access to the "underground" base

<Hannibal_Golux> (Well, not with your outlook, Marv. We'll all certainly meet the fate you so adamantly insist will become us all.)

<La_ST> (20:31 - neat, just 15 min Meta-talk)

<MC_Farstrider> (me has some ideas on what to do with the "spirit")

<La_ST> The 'block' that formerly stood at the place has been more or less flattenes, and electronically sizzling debris litters the grouind...

<Marcello_Keagan> (ST: how much are Iwapo and Enochian alike

<La_ST> (Different languages)

<La_ST> (Like Greek and Latin)

Hannibal_Golux forgets (OOC) what the hell is going on even with the quicky description... (sorry)

AC_Newton stands at the command console and looks at the holoprojection

<Marvin_Black> Hmmm.. If it wasn't so cleaned up, this could almost be my neibourhood

AC_Newton looks to the others hwho sit at the weapons consoles...

<La_ST> (I think as long as there is not real action, we should be able to talk as needed)

Asm0dai seems to be coding somethign while throwing a look at the viewscreen to monitor the changes...

<AC_Newton> Well, what do you think is this field on the ground?

<Hannibal_Golux> (sure, it's only when we start doing stuff all at once)

<La_ST> (Fine then)

<Marvin_Black> Weird

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, wait, what happened after the attack of the AIs?)

<AC_Newton> It seems it just absorbed the shots!

<Hannibal_Golux> (sorry about my crap memory, guys)

Marvin_Black puts up MarvTV

<Asm0dai> Yes... it se4ems o be generating itself...

<Marvin_Black> Perhpas I could check it?

<La_ST> (The AIs went back into the ship after they helped flattening this 'building')

<Asm0dai> it isn'tz a normal construct in the web...

<Marcello_Keagan> (Darn, DAN isn't here)

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, so what are we talking about now?)

<Marvin_Black> (Is a scan of the ground ok?)

<La_ST> (We wanted to do some major boom now and didn't want to blow up the AIs)

<La_ST> (Marv: Yup)

<Hannibal_Golux> (aha, so we haven't set off Asmo's second "nuke" yet then?)

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 4 6 1

<La_ST> (Hanni: Well, we wanted to do that. Dan fired his cannon and it didn't have an effect)

<Marvin_Black> (2 Sux, Entropy, Forces, Mind, Cor, Prime)

<Asm0dai> (Well the nuke worked... it was countermagic...)

<La_ST> (Ok. Marv. You realize there is a heavy-duty correspondence Entropy effect at work down there, stabilized with Prime)

<Hannibal_Golux> (So there is still another barrier? Or are we talking about the corrupting force here? Or did we "annihilate" that?)

<La_ST> (It it seems to be another barrier)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Asmo: Yeah, that was just occurring to me...

:) )

<Marvin_Black> (We all know.. It's MarvTV after all ^_^)

<Hannibal_Golux> Damned onion layered security systems.

<Asm0dai> I don't think so Hann...

<AC_Newton> Maybe this is the final barrier?

AC_Newton looks somewhat exasperated

<Hannibal_Golux> I have to admit that these are some of the nastiest firewalls I've seen

<Asm0dai> this is different... it doesn't react to normal web stuff...

<Asm0dai> It may be a "building" in the web...

<Marcello_Keagan> I think that whatever blocked us at first is still blocking us now.. it just regained it's strength..

<Hannibal_Golux> (Aha, what happened to MC trying to "banish" the bane within?)

<La_ST> (Well, MC didn't reach it yet)

<Hannibal_Golux> (not that it would be that easy...)

<Asm0dai> WE could try and level it with virii... but my nukes weren't that nasty on it.. and they are the baddest thing we have in the arsenal...

<AC_Newton> Hm... Correspondence...

<Hannibal_Golux> ...oh, whoopee.

<Asm0dai> What, Acy?

<Asm0dai> why correspondance?

<Hannibal_Golux> That's kind of reassuring.

<AC_Newton> Could it be that the blast just was lead somewhere else?

Asm0dai checks the images...

<Hannibal_Golux> Does anyone else have the expression "half-cocked" spring to mind?

<Asm0dai> nope.. the structure was damaged...

<Marvin_Black> Perhpas the blast or any further attack is returned to sender?

<Marcello_Keagan> MC..could you code program that could help locate that spirit. That way we can fire at it.

<Asm0dai> Hann it sprang when we first arrived here...

<La_ST> (What was damages was the 'building' above)

<MC_Farstrider> (I want to enhance the targeting program with an add-on to scan for Spirits (as they wopuld be the anomily) written in Iwapo' and compiled by NAVI)

<Asm0dai> (NAVI is dead... it needs to recharge...)

<MC_Farstrider> it hasn't done anything

<Hannibal_Golux> Like I said, the words "half-cocked" just keep resounding in my head like an unwanted conscience.

<La_ST> (Yeah, we haven't had a pause in game-time yet)

<Asm0dai> (yes but its time passed...)

<Asm0dai> (it needs a few hours more befoe it can work at normal capacity... if you call it in early it may breakkk)

<MC_Farstrider> (so much ofor it being a focus then)

<Marcello_Keagan> Just write it MC, I'll help you compile it

<La_ST> (MarvTV shows that the ground below the rubble seems to be shimmering in an ugly twisted hue

AC_Newton looks at MC

<Asm0dai> (sorry i warned you to use it sparringly.. at least you got the armor and the weapon...)

<AC_Newton> What kind of Programming language is this Iwapo?

<Marvin_Black> Hmmm... Have I told you yet, this could be our last mission, for we are on our way to oblivion?

MC_Farstrider busies herself thinking out the code needed

<Hannibal_Golux> (um, quick quiz: what is Iwapo?)

AC_Newton definitely never heard of that

<La_ST> (Spirit language)

<MC_Farstrider> (right)

<Hannibal_Golux> (oh, ok)

<MC_Farstrider> (what else would you use to look for spirits?)

Asm0dai grumbles something about using improper code in a proper system like this...

<Marcello_Keagan> (Enochian of course)

KevinGrey sighs.

<MC_Farstrider> (paragdimaticly., Enchian is pidgin iwapo')

<KevinGrey> I somehow have the impression my expertise in Mind Procedures is somewhat useless here, too

<MC_Farstrider> (/me grins)

<Hannibal_Golux> (MC: LOL - that cracks me up for some reason)

<La_ST> (Enochian is highly formalited and the standard shtick of the Hermetics)

<MC_Farstrider> (ST: int+comp to write the code?)

<Marcello_Keagan> Not really Mr. Grey..after MC here is done with her scanner add-on. We might need your Mindblaster cannon..

<Marvin_Black> (Does Marv think he would be able to produce a "counter entropic field" which resonance lifts the original effect? Like nullifying it?)

<MC_Farstrider> (sphere/sphere antimagick)

<Marcello_Keagan> (Iwapo is Pidgin Enochian)

<KevinGrey> Well, I hope so. I have some open issues with those baddies!

<MC_Farstrider> (umsm, -- yeah, right ;))

<MC_Farstrider> (ST:?)

Asm0dai continues working with the projcet he is creating...

<Marcello_Keagan> (Slow down people)

<Hannibal_Golux> (I don't understand why I just got disconnected here... :( )

<La_ST> (Well, MC, Marcello, if you go about it with programming etc, I would like to have some proper descriptions, please)

<La_ST> (After all, you are still very new to all of this DW stuff ^_^)

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, this is bizarre. I have a bottle of beer here with a champaigne style cork in it... wtf?)

<Marcello_Keagan> (ST: MC is going to write her first program. A program in Iwapo to scan for spirits. That she will add-on to the targeting scanners of Dan's Quantum Laser.)

<La_ST> (Well, *describe it IC!!")

<La_ST> (I don't want just the OOC explantions, I want to read how you *do* it)

<Marvin_Black> (ST: What about Marv's pondering about nulliefying the field? Like finding the proper counterwaves?)

<Marcello_Keagan> (She's typing)

<La_ST> (Marv: Sounds like a viable idea, too ^_^)

<Hannibal_Golux> (this is going to be interesting)

<La_ST> (Typing where?)

<Hannibal_Golux> (note to self: raspberry beer is the most bizarre taste I've had this.... month)

Marcello_Keagan moves back from the console and lets MC take a seat.

<Marcello_Keagan> Go ahead, dear.

<MC_Farstrider> hmm -- I write a program that looks over the patterns within its range to detect something that resonates with whatI know is the pattern of spirits.

Marvin_Black works on the console of his gun, trying to reconfigure it. The tentacles reajust themselves, forming a new pattern.

<MC_Farstrider> (writing in a language designed to communicate with such patterns)

<Marvin_Black> (Which dif for Entropy?)

<La_ST> (Marv 6)

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 4 3 8

<Marvin_Black> (1 Sux)

<La_ST> (Well, this is a beginning ^_^ The field is somewhat largish ^_^)

Marvin_Black pushes the fire button and the blast now has now more a sight of nothingness within the space, rushing towards the ground

<Marvin_Black> (Same if, or +1 for retry?)

<La_ST> (Same)

<MC_Farstrider> I know which should not be here, (so I can focus on that to narrow the field)

AC_Newton looks to MC's typing

<Marvin_Black> If you want to die... I'll open the the gateway to Hell...

<MC_Farstrider> ((spirit/life/matter))

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 4 3 4

<AC_Newton> What exactly do you do there now?

Asm0dai focuses on anlysys the nature of the construct in the web, by chceking the standad patterns and the through net base of the project he needs to see exactly what this is and what is its nature...

<Marvin_Black> Hmmm.. This wasn't a proper hit?

<Marvin_Black> AC: Who? Me?

<Asm0dai> (a Corr, Forces, Prime scan, should i roll ?)

AC_Newton looks from MC to Marv

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, since I still don't understand what the hell this barrier is all about, I'm going to try scanning it again with everything I know)

Marvin_Black refires the Plague Cannon

<AC_Newton> Aehm, yeah, you to. I think I should know what you try when I'm the captain?

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 5 2 3

<La_ST> (Hann: Ok)

Marvin_Black kicks his console

<Hannibal_Golux> (diff 4 or 5? I forget.)

<Marvin_Black> I'm trying to nullify the field...

<La_ST> (Hanni: 4)

<MC_Farstrider> ST: what do I need for the progrmaming? computer+int?

<Hannibal_Golux> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Hannibal_Golux rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 4 1 7

<Hannibal_Golux> (shit)

<Hannibal_Golux> (zero)

<Marvin_Black> (Is it possible to invest Quint into the cannon?)

<La_ST> (MC: Comp+Int for the Programming, Arete to activate the Effect)

<Asm0dai> (can i roll my Corr/Forces/Prime scan ?)

<MC_Farstrider> can use WP success?

<La_ST> (Hanni: You just see the shimmer and feel that the field tries to evade yozur scans)

<Marvin_Black> (ASmo: Watch MarvTV)

<La_ST> (Asmo: Yup)

<Hannibal_Golux> Damn it, my monitors are picking up nothing here. Asmo? What have you got on this thing?

<Asm0dai> (i am tryin to see a different thing...)

<Asm0dai> Wait a sec i a mjust analyzing this thing...

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 6 5 1

<Marvin_Black> (ST: May I lower dif of shooting via Quint?)

<Asm0dai> (2 suxx net)

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: What're you looking at?

<Marcello_Keagan> (Stayka, better to start calling names now)

<MC_Farstrider> (Can I use WP for success?)

<La_ST> (MC: Yes)

<MC_Farstrider> I do then

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 10 4 1 7

<Asm0dai> I am trying to scan the internal structur and what this thing is made of... this whole damn thing strikes me as quite odd...

<La_ST> (Ok. Though the programming takes timne)

<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: Yeah, once dice start flying (even virtual dice) it's worth taking control of actions)

<La_ST> (I can give Asmo the result)

<MC_Farstrider> (1 or 2?)

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: OK, well, ultimately that's what I'm trying to get at, too. What have you got? (waits)

<La_ST> (MC: Diff is 8 for you as you are new to the programming etc - thus 1 sux)

<MC_Farstrider> ok :)

<Asm0dai> Wait the progress bar seems to be staggering at 92%

Marvin_Black does some more calibration to his Cannon

<MC_Farstrider> (now Arete WP and Quint)

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: Always the way

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 8 3 10

<Asm0dai> It seems that i have soemthing...

<La_ST> (Ok, description for Asmo now)

<MC_Farstrider> 3 or 4 sux?

<Marvin_Black> (2 Quint for the next shot)

<Asm0dai> ... this looks as if i am running a M$... and not a linux based personal os...

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 10 6 10

<La_ST> (MC: 1+3 so far. You take time though)

<Marvin_Black> (5 Sux)

<La_ST> (Peops, now let me describe what Asmo dsees!!)

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, why haven't you compiled your own OS like I have?

<Asm0dai> Oh this has as many common points with Linux as dos has with MacOs...

<Asm0dai> i did a complete overhaul... the whole GUI is personnal..

<Hannibal_Golux> (completely understanding Asmo's meaning) Well, that's why it works so badly. Mac's are the work of the devil.

<MC_Farstrider> (/me is confused as to what she is doing?)

<La_ST> Asmo: You get a general scan for Corr/Entropy/Prime/Forces... As you analyze it more in depth, you see that the energy that was fed into it was lead into the barrier with a Corr effect to strengthen and stabilize the parts that got weakened

<Asm0dai> .. i hate Mac's.. i use Trinaries...

<La_ST> (MC: You program. This TAKES TUIME!!)

<La_ST> (Time)

<Hannibal_Golux> Yeah, it don't care what you use, the operating system can make or break a machine.

<Asm0dai> (so it is a relapse building ?)

<La_ST> (Asmo: It is a barrier that lies just within the 'ground' and was beloiw that 'building')

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: You got a result? What's it say?

<Asm0dai> (okay so where is the actual thing we are trying to get ?)

<Marvin_Black> (ST: 5 Sux in my shot)

<Asm0dai> Oh the sneaky GITS!

<Hannibal_Golux> What's up?

<La_ST> (MC: You might have noticed that all people who programmed stuff here needed quite some time until they completed their programs. They are not done in 5 min with stuff like this)

Marcello_Keagan looks over MC's shoulder to see how she's doing.

<La_ST> (Asmo: You would say underground...)

<Asm0dai> we didn't do half as much damage because they reated a correspondance shifting field that distributed the damage evenly along the sector!

<La_ST> (Marv: Well, a part of the barrier turns from sickly brownish green to a lighter colour)

<Hannibal_Golux> Oh. That's nice.

<La_ST> (Marv: Maybe 3x3m^2

<Asm0dai> Hannibal how good arey you with space bending and colocation?

<Asm0dai> i have an idea...

Asm0dai grins

<Marvin_Black> Wait till they come to the idea to return the damage to us...

<AC_Newton> An idea, Asmo?

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, I suppose I'm okay at it... what's your idea?

<MC_Farstrider> (ST: nods -- I just figured out the coding is an extended action)

Marvin_Black gives it another shot....

AC_Newton looks shocked at Marv

<AC_Newton> They wouldn't dare!

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 7 1 3

<La_ST> (Marv: Same area?)

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 8 9 9

<Asm0dai> Jsut work on a elportation effect... i'll explain how we will handle it...

<La_ST> (Well, nothing... Slowly the colour returns to the sickly brownish green colour)

<Hannibal_Golux> You want me to do a "teleporation" program?

Asm0dai starts on a new viral nuke... this one needs to be an especially nasty one.. with minimal delay and total destruction effect...

AC_Newton looks to MC.

<AC_Newton> How's the progging going?

<Marvin_Black> Sure... they wouldn't... thgey are nice guys giving away flowers

<Marvin_Black> (Sure)

AC_Newton still wonders what kind of programming language Iwapo is

<Hannibal_Golux> YOu're asking me to design the delivery system for that nuke of yours, ain't ya.

<Marvin_Black> (Ok... I'll give it a barrage that covers a wieder area)

<Asm0dai> sor of...

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 5 3 3

<La_ST> (Marv: (Marv: Ok. After it almost reverted back, the colour brightens again)

<Marvin_Black> (The dice bot is laging)

<Asm0dai> but this is protected... we will do this together since there is no way for us to telport it solo...

<Hannibal_Golux> OK, well if I know it's going to be a carrier than that makes a lot of difference.

Hannibal_Golux grins mischievously.

<Asm0dai> We are gonna dump it right inside the place...

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo, I'm way ahead of you...

Hannibal_Golux grins

<AC_Newton> Well, and when they loop it back to us?

<Marcello_Keagan> Captain Newton, please stop bugging MC. Iwapo is the language some mystics use when dealing with Extradimensional entities. As you may already know Nephandi work for extradimensional entities.

<Asm0dai> puuurfect...

<Marvin_Black> (So I'll keep on shooting on the "unconverted areas")

<AC_Newton> They seem to do quite some geometrical tampering, don't they?

Asm0dai goes bac kto evolving his nuke code

<AC_Newton> Oh, I see. Sorry, Dr.Keagan.

AC_Newton was just curious, as she always is

Hannibal_Golux starts coding a "delivery system" (corr effect - teleportation) for Asmo's nuke.

<La_ST> (Ok)

<Asm0dai> ( we will do it together i am planning to make a MEGA nuke based on the orignals...)

KevinGrey looks worriedly at the holo projection of the area

<Asm0dai> Kevin... stop looking grim and take care that nothing goes at as...

KevinGrey hopes they will manage to punish the Nephandi there appropriately

<MC_Farstrider> (ST: let me know when I need another comp+int roll)

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 6 2 2

<Hannibal_Golux> (I still can't get over the fact that I would have Corr 5 if I had an Arete of 5. Had it occured to me that I had a +1 to my Corr in the DW I wouldn't have spend XP on Corr 4, ho hum.. Looks like I'm just going to have to get my Arete up to 5 at some point... ;) )

<KevinGrey> Well, I am surveying the area for enemy minds already

<Marvin_Black> (2 more sux in shooting "unconverted" areas)

Asm0dai uses a combined effect that will unleash combat viruses, worms and a set of auto destructive trojans...

<La_ST> (Hanni: *g* Seeking soon then ^_^ Luther will love to teach you, I'm sure)

<Asm0dai> Hannibal... make sure your AI's are safe...

<Hannibal_Golux> (*shakes fist*)

<Asm0dai> this thing is not gonna ne particulry safe...

<La_ST> (Marv: Well, they turn to glow more brightly and almost look like 'healthy energies now)

<Hannibal_Golux> Yeah, they are all back in the Nova

<Marvin_Black> (How much area is untouched by my blasts right now?)

Marvin_Black sits silently at his gun, sending out blast after blast

<La_ST> (Marv: Well, bactually it is just a maybe 7x7 m^2 area that is touched

AC_Newton looks at the scanner arrays

Marvin_Black sighs and continues sending out these weird looking Plague Bolts

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 1 2 6

<Marvin_Black> (1 Sux)

<La_ST> (Well, Marv, you have the feeling the area likes to devour these biolts ^_^)

<Marvin_Black> (But I also have the feeling the bolts do some of the intended work?)

<La_ST> (MC is still trying to set up the filter that shows where the strange evil entities are imbedded in the WEb, is she?)

<MC_Farstrider> (yes)

<La_ST> (MC, you realize that this is something very different from the rituals you normally apply. You feel it is pretty alien for you to actually put together a *program*

Marvin_Black unloads another series of blasts

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 5 5 4 4

AC_Newton wonders what Asmodai and Hannibal are up to

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 8 1 7

<La_ST> (Marv: Do you still have MarvTV running, too?)

<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: Just tell me when to roll Arete for the effect... I think my ability to code the shell for the effect goes without say, it's not difficult, just the effect is... :) )

<Marvin_Black> (4 blasts... 9 Sux.)

<Marvin_Black> (Nope. Would rise my Dif, wouldn't it?)

<La_ST> (Hanni: I'll tell Marv what is up, then you roll :-)

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, no probs)

<La_ST> (Marv: It would)

<Marvin_Black> (But I intend to reset it, to check what effect my blasts had)

<La_ST> (Marv: Withing the sickly brownish green area that is littered with debris, there is now a circle of about 10m diameter where the energy look healthy again

<La_ST> (Marv: But at soon as you stop, the sickly parts try to eat up the healthy area again)

Marvin_Black restarts MarvTV, tuning in tu "Magical Geology. What affect is on the ground today?"

<Asm0dai> (marv got two suxx on his shots)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Well it should have everything now, essentially)

<LaST> (ok)

<Asm0dai> (computer to make the diff marginal... afterwards multiple arete rolls to pump up the unweaving effect... you just inform me when and what to roll...)

ACNewton has joined #agww

<LaST> (Asmo: Ok. Then I think you should start that, and MC can start her prog after you created the opening)

<Marvin_Black> (bak)

<Hannibal_Golux> (And my carrier needs to work for his to work)

<LaST> (Okay.. Order: First Hanni, then Asmo, then MC

<MC_Farstrider> (ok)

<LaST> (I think this should be logical ^_^)

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, so I roll now?

<LaST> (YuP)

<Asm0dai> (oh i have been describing this for the last few minutes... remember the descriptions of a mega virus?)

<LaST> (Asmo:; I just read it ^_^)

<Asm0dai> (there were 4 ;))

Hannibal_Golux has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

ZenMook has joined #agww

<ZenMook> I don;t understand#

<ZenMook> Why did I get disconnecteD?

<ZenMook> bah!

<Asm0dai> (it doesn't like you)

<LaST> (Bad luck? Entropy? Cthulhu?)

ZenMook is now known as Hannibal_Golux

<Hannibal_Golux> (clearly the elder god is at work)

<Marvin_Black> (Don't blame the Cthulluh on my shoulder!)

<Hannibal_Golux> (communicating telepathically with my "Demon" connection - yes, that's the name of the ISP I'm connecting with today)

AgentGrey has joined #agww

<Marcello_Keagan> (perhaps it bugs you so long till you sell your soul to them... afterwards you have a 1Gbit connection :))

<LaST> (^_^)

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, where were we? Oh yes... pressure on Han... everything depends on his roll. It's all make it or break it on his roll. So I'd better spend a WP.)

La_ST has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)

AC_Newton has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)

KevinGrey has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)

<Hannibal_Golux> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Hannibal_Golux rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 7 1 7

<Hannibal_Golux> (diff?)

<Asm0dai> Guys no pressure... we just need to do this properly...

<LaST> (Ok. AS I read, Asmo wants to open a definite entry... This will work when he gets his roll through ^_1

Asm0dai sets mode: +oo ACNewton LaST

<LaST> (1 sux - you think this is a somewhat precarious corr link yet...)

<Hannibal_Golux> (teleportation of the effect, corr level? diff? whatever that is +1 for WP - 2 tops)

LaST is now known as La_ST

<Asm0dai> (level 3...)

<Hannibal_Golux> (1 sux being *just* my WP then?)

<Hannibal_Golux> (ho hum)

<La_ST> (Hanni: Oh, I missed the WP - then 2 sux)

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, that's not too bad then)

<La_ST> (2 sux means you think this should work...)

<Hannibal_Golux> OK, Asmo, I think this should work

<Asm0dai> (btw it will be a joined teleportatio nby both of us we needto be sure it gets where it is going since it will blow as soon as it appears...)

<Hannibal_Golux> (*grins*)

<Asm0dai> Great... jsut be sure of what you are doing...

<Asm0dai> This one needs to be definitely working!

<Hannibal_Golux> (/me loves repetition - for some reason it's funny)

ACNewton keeps her fingers crossed

<Hannibal_Golux> I have never been more sure of anything in my life.

<Hannibal_Golux> Have faith

<Hannibal_Golux> Faith will hold you

<ACNewton> I wouldn't want to have such a nuke blow up in my ship!

<Asm0dai> (hope not the one from buffy :)

<Marvin_Black> I would check my last will right now...

<Hannibal_Golux> (quietly) Faith will hold you until it decides to drop you on your head repeatedly

ACNewton exchanges a passionate glance with Kev ^_^

Marvin_Black looks sickened at AC

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: Don't worry, by the time you realised it had gone off it would be too late to realise that it had gone off.

<ACNewton> That's what I fear...

Hannibal_Golux grins

<Asm0dai> Don't worry...

Marcello_Keagan looks proud at MC, it seems her coding is almost done.

ACNewton sighs. I think I would want to live a little longer still...

<Marvin_Black> AC: I told you so. Live sucks and you put your friends in ongoing danger

<Asm0dai> We are gonna do it properly...

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, there's nothing wrong with *my* code

<Marvin_Black> We gonna die properly? I never thought of it as much effort

<Hannibal_Golux> This little baby's gonna deliver it's payload.

MC_Farstrider stufies her code closely

<ACNewton> Marv: Hey, there are things that *need* to be done...

<MC_Farstrider> err thats studies

<Hannibal_Golux> Marv: Well, if you're gonna die, die quietly

Marcello_Keagan (laughs)

<Marvin_Black> Yup.. To die, to suffer, to endure pain...

<Asm0dai> Yep we should hope so... this what i am making is quite volatile...

<Hannibal_Golux> Marv: Just don't give me a headache in the process.

<La_ST> (So, Asmo, gotta try?)

Hannibal_Golux grins mischievously/

<Marvin_Black> Han: That's life's job not mine

Hannibal_Golux sighs and shakes his head

<La_ST> (Asmo will repeat his descriptions as I seem to have missed them because of my disconnect)

<Asm0dai> (okay)

Asm0dai is using the base for old viruses to make total damage to the construction of the "base" this little bomb will really open up a hole... and give us adefinite mean of entry and assault at the core of this thing...

ACNewton is now known as AC_Newton

Asm0dai uses a combined assault that will unleash combat viruses, worms and a set of auto destructive trojans...

Asm0dai is using a loophole attack that will make a horde of copies of the assault virii that will enable destruction...

<Asm0dai> (computer to make the diff marginal... afterwards multiple arete rolls to pump up the unweaving effect...)

<Marcello_Keagan> (cool, I just found a copy of the Book of Lemegon (Theurgia Goetia))

<La_ST> (Well, keep it to the Arete. I believe you that you can do the Computer rools)

Asm0dai grins and starts compiuling this poison... he will name it LaBorgia

<Asm0dai> (okay how many arete rolls)

<La_ST> (Well, do three, then I see what sux you have)

<Asm0dai> (well the old ones were 6 rolls)

<La_ST> (Well, if it doesn't suffice I ask you to do more ^_^)

<Asm0dai> (Lol)

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 7 10 9

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 10 9 7

<La_ST> (See what I mean?)

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 7 1 7

<Asm0dai> (8 in 3 rolls)

<La_ST> (Yup.)

<Asm0dai> (how many more i really want to blow this thing up from the inside,,, :))

<La_ST> You see the area with the rubble that has a sickly sheen except for an area that Marv 'cleaned'...

<La_ST> (Asmo: You really like to roll?)

<Asm0dai> (no, i really like to blow stuff up :) rolls are just an extra thing...)

<La_ST> (So, let's me describe now...)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Marv is.... cleaning?)

<Hannibal_Golux> (Marv there are some dishes that need doing if you want to clean them, too)

<Asm0dai> (oh i don't need to 'port it?)

<Hannibal_Golux> (I think that is including the port)

<La_ST> (Asmo: i though that was Hannui's job?)

<Asm0dai> (pssst... she is writing)

<Asm0dai> (well we were supposed to do it together to be sure it ports correctly)

<Hannibal_Golux> (I already I already ported it..._

<La_ST> (Well, I just had to delete about two lines...)

<Marvin_Black> (i could clean them... Clean them up for one last time. *eg*)

<Hannibal_Golux> (... um, I already I already said already enough times, already...)

<Hannibal_Golux> (oh right... *that* kind of cleansing, eh?)

<La_ST> (The nuke' was delievered via Hannibals Correspondence procedure... The trajectory fused with the Corr field of the barrier, and the NUke blows up just within the field.... The viruses are swarming out...

<Marvin_Black> (Total and efficient cleaning... So clean you wouldn't even see them anymore)

<Hannibal_Golux> (whiter than white, huh?)

Asm0dai grins and looks through the screen...

<La_ST> ...and hack into the malevolent code of the barrier, rerouting the Effects that are used to keep it fixed. Wehere they run into the weakened arrea, the eat through almost instantenously...

<Hannibal_Golux> Very.... efficient

<Asm0dai> (did id port correctly ?)

<La_ST> ...from Marvs 'cleansed' spot, they eat up the barrier and leeve a gaping hole in the ground...

<Hannibal_Golux> (of course it did... you doubting my abilities?)

<Asm0dai> Hmm maybe you should have made it move a bit further inside...

<Hannibal_Golux> There's only so far the barrier would let me port inside.

<Marvin_Black> Well people. Hell awaits. Only three at a time.. Cerberus can't devour more at once...

<Hannibal_Golux> Y'know... that's why they call those things barriers.

<La_ST> After about 10 minutes, the ground seems to be free of rubble and the sickly greenish energy layer...

<Hannibal_Golux> OK, send in the AIs...#

<Hannibal_Golux> They are champing at the bit

<La_ST> Below it you see a kind of plane that doesn't seem to be highly energized at all

<Asm0dai> Fascinating... it still worked... they may be hope for you yet grasshoper...

<La_ST> (Well, MC has her thing to add...)

<Marvin_Black> Hope is an illusion

AC_Newton looks at the monitor

Hannibal_Golux flips Asmodai the bird

<AC_Newton> Are we through *now*?

<Asm0dai> Well not with Hannibal and Asmo at the keybord, Marv

<Asm0dai> Wait... we need to be sure...

AgentGrey looks alarmed

<Hannibal_Golux> Let's send in a scouting party.

<Asm0dai> Just send a few...

<MC_Farstrider> (yes... arete for the effect with WP and Quint)

<AgentGrey> People, I'm sensing several Minds down there...

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 6 6 1

<Asm0dai> Marv... monitor the AI's

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, that's kind of what a scouting party means...

<MC_Farstrider> 2 sux

<AgentGrey> But I have to admit, I don't want to do more than a general suerface scan - their Minds are ugly... twisted...

Hannibal_Golux routes one unit (i.e. 5) of AIs to go scout the area.

<Marvin_Black> Huh? Me?

<Asm0dai> Marv... we need to be sure they are not corrupted...

<MC_Farstrider> (do I need to make it an extended effect?)

<Asm0dai> watch "hann's heroes" on the TV so we can be sure...

<Marvin_Black> Oh... Wait a sec... What channel would be appropiate?

<Hannibal_Golux> (LOL)

<Marvin_Black> Ok...

<La_ST> (MC: So, what do you want to accomplish exactly? Describe, please)

Marvin_Black tunes in Hann's Heroes."

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 8 6 10 10

<Asm0dai> (well what did you ecpect :))

<Marvin_Black> (Wow... 6 Sux on the AI scan)

<Hannibal_Golux> (sweet)

<MC_Farstrider> my effect is to scan the target area looking for anomolies (sp?) (spirit effects are out of place so its a pattern to look for)

<AC_Newton> I think I come to like this "MarvTV, even though I don't really underastand it)

Asm0dai looks another fine episode of "Hann's Heroes"

<La_ST> (MC: Ok. )

<Hannibal_Golux> (MC: anomalies

<MC_Farstrider> I want to get a corr lock on the location of the anomliy

<La_ST> (So you get a feeling that there is a very huge entity looming at the grounds of thgis...)

<MC_Farstrider> (I figured corr2/sprint2/prime2)

<La_ST> (You would say that whatever it is, it is twisted and evil, and you get the feeling it was as evil as the things you encountered in your youth)

<MC_Farstrider> (do I need more sux to allow the cannon to target the spirit entity?)

<Marvin_Black> (The AIs are still OK then and we can watch them jumping around, while someone gives comments on what they're like and doing?)

<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: was that what we got from Han's Heroes on MarvTV?)

<La_ST> (MC: The anomaly is covering the whole ground, just much below the ground)

<La_ST> (Hanni: The Heroes just reached the plane, moment..)

<Hannibal_Golux> (OK, no probs)

<La_ST> (MC: You can't pinpoint a singular location, you would say almost the whole sector is more or less built on it.)

<MC_Farstrider> (the efedct is an add-oin the the targeting program of the canno)

<Hannibal_Golux> Han's Heroes dash across the open digital plane with a determined stride to a dramatic musical score.

<La_ST> (MC: well, but the thing is *huge*)

<Marcello_Keagan> (That means everyone near the console can see this ?)

<La_ST> (MC: You would say it is about 200m below us at the moment and spans the whole sector.)

<MC_Farstrider> (it meant to be an enduring add-on, not a one shot spell)

Asm0dai puts the "Dirty Dozen" theme

<La_ST> (MC: Well, 'kay, but the result is still the same ^_^)

<Marvin_Black> (MarvTV? It's a TV Set with knobs and looks old. It shows the scan result on the screen for all to be seen)

<Marcello_Keagan> What in gods name is that....

<MC_Farstrider> (wonders if thatmeands the only way to get fir of it would be to "reformat" the sector)

<Hannibal_Golux> Marcello? WHat is it?

<Marcello_Keagan> Call back the ANdroids..

<Marcello_Keagan> Just take a look at this first..

<Hannibal_Golux> They are not androids.

Marcello_Keagan points at his targetting console.

Hannibal_Golux looks at the targetting console.

<Marcello_Keagan> Just call them back before they are turned into scrap metal.

<Hannibal_Golux> OK, so what am I looking at.

MC_Farstrider is concerned about her findings

<Marcello_Keagan> This is the creature behind this.

<Hannibal_Golux> They are not made of metal, Marcello. They are made of code...

AC_Newton waves her hands through the controls, and the image of the targeting console is displayed for all to see

<MC_Farstrider> (*sigh*)

Hannibal_Golux instructs his AIs to hold their position at a safe distance.

<MC_Farstrider> The things is the size of the whole secotr and is about 200meter below the "ground" level

Hannibal_Golux boggles

<La_ST> Well, the holographic projection shows what Marcello and MC managed to glean data-wise...

<Hannibal_Golux> Oh... kay...

<Hannibal_Golux> I think we found the dragon in it's lair, folks.

<La_ST> About 100-200m below the sector there is an alien entity that coveres almost the whole sector below ground

MC_Farstrider aggrees

<La_ST> (Yeah, 200m)

<Hannibal_Golux> Right... Um, time to run anyone?

<Asm0dai> Oh... my... god...

<AC_Newton> Uh. DThis doesn't look good at all...

<Asm0dai> i am an atheist... and this really almost made me religius again...

<Hannibal_Golux> Run away.... run away... keep running....

<Marvin_Black> Megalomania at its best: Mess with gods and stuff...

<Asm0dai> Okay... i don't think another nuke would change anything...

<Marcello_Keagan> It's big.

<MC_Farstrider> wonders is the only way to "disconnect" it would be to reformat the sector or some sort of backlash

<Asm0dai> We are gonan need a bigger boat...

<La_ST> (But it doesn't reach over the borders of the corrupted sector)

<Marcello_Keagan> Any thoughts on how disconnect this thing ?

<Asm0dai> People....

<Asm0dai> prepare to disconnect...

<Marvin_Black> I told you so...

<Asm0dai> we will dump the sector and disconnect ASAP...

AC_Newton looks at Asmo.

<Hannibal_Golux> (just figured out why he got disconnected those past few times... his connection doesn't seem to recognise mIRC's activities and times him out, but hides the window behind mIRC. Gah!)

<MC_Farstrider> umms whatabout marc?!?

<AC_Newton> What are you going to do?

<Marcello_Keagan> Ehrm ????

<Marcello_Keagan> Problem there..

<AC_Newton> Dump the sector?

<Asm0dai> Marc you will be a noble sacrifice to the saving of the digital web...

<Asm0dai> don't fret... we all know you are willing to sacriface...

<AC_Newton> WEll, Marcello could go to the Demise

Hannibal_Golux laughs#

<Marvin_Black> Marc: I told you you couldn't trick Death for long...

<Asm0dai> ...yo uwill be remmebered in the annals of the Web...

Asm0dai starts laughing...

Hannibal_Golux doubles over with laughter

<Marcello_Keagan> Fuck You Asmodai.

<Marvin_Black> Yup.. I'll print toilet paper with your face... Up the anals you go...

<Asm0dai> Thank you, thank you very much...

Asm0dai bows

AC_Newton thinks they are somewhat mean

Hannibal_Golux slaps Marcello on the back.

<Hannibal_Golux> Marc: You're a great sport.

<Asm0dai> (oh he has a back ?)

<Asm0dai> Hannibal we could shunt him into the demise... collapse the nova and start systems havoc...

<Hannibal_Golux> OK, now seriously. Let's run away as fast as we can.

Hannibal_Golux calls back his AIs at double speed.

<AC_Newton> but if we run away, this thing s here

<Asm0dai> No... we cannot just move from here... we need to do something...

<AC_Newton> Iztseems it is confined in this sector -yet

<Asm0dai> we blasted its defesnes...

<Marcello_Keagan> Is there any way to disconnect it without destroying the sector ?

<Marvin_Black> Asmo: Yup.. Die...

<Asm0dai> and there is still someone here...

<Hannibal_Golux> Yeah, well, that's the way it's gonna have to stay until we've had time to reconsider our strageies

<Asm0dai> wait a second...

<Hannibal_Golux> strategies

<AC_Newton> Imagine if it would start eating more sectors!

<AC_Newton> It might devour the whole Digital Web!

Asm0dai tries atacer to see if maybe there is someoen i nthe real world supporting the construct with hardware...

<Marvin_Black> Imagine it would start eating us...

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, we're not going to leave it there forever... just until we've had time to reconsider our plan of action.

<AC_Newton> Ah, good

<Marcello_Keagan> hmm..

<AgentGrey> Well, maybe I could inform my people...

<Marvin_Black> You want to delay your demise?

<Marcello_Keagan> Just what I was about to propose

<Asm0dai> Well if we just jump out they will have time to prepare again...

<AgentGrey> I'm sure the Voiders would love to sanitize this

<Asm0dai> we need to do this more carefully...

<Asm0dai> yes and how wil lthey sanitize this?

<Asm0dai> this sector has gone to hell...

<Hannibal_Golux> Yeah... let's get someone else to do it. After all, sending in the black hats was part of the original plan all along, no?

<AgentGrey> Well, I know they have some heavy duty XD and Forces procedures

<Asm0dai> we need to either kill it or make the sector kill itself...

<MC_Farstrider> (perhaops we should send it back there?)

<Hannibal_Golux> We were supposed to be helping out Agent Grey here... not recruiting him.

<Marvin_Black> I could try another nice virus, to kill the sector...

<Asm0dai> (can i try and trace the realworld location for this thing? Mybe if we bash the hardwaere nad the nephandi with it we could do something...)

<AC_Newton> I think this has become bigger than only helping Kevin!

<Marcello_Keagan> I'm still thinking of the glass analogy the technoshamans in the Demise told us about.

<La_ST> (Asmo: You can try, sure)

<Marcello_Keagan> Such a thing isn't hollistically immersed..

<Asm0dai> Marv... i can drop the sector solo... what i am wondering is this any worse then we saw it...

<Marcello_Keagan> It must have some way of connecting here.

<Asm0dai> (corr ?)

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 7 2 5

<MC_Farstrider> we need top break the glass so it has no hold on the secoptr

<Hannibal_Golux> Yes, AC, it certainly has got, ahem, bigger than just helping him.

<Asm0dai> (any suxx ST ?)

<Marcello_Keagan> Exactly

<Marcello_Keagan> Anyone any ideas on what the "glass" here may be ?

<Asm0dai> Wait...

<La_ST> (Asmo: There is a corr uplink to EArth. But there is also a connection (seemingly partly corr) to Somewhere Else.

<Asm0dai> There may be an alternative...

<Hannibal_Golux> glass?

<Asm0dai> (the EArth one is supporting it?)

<Asm0dai> (or the SE ?)

<MC_Farstrider> the technoshamans example

<Marcello_Keagan> This is a spirit. The only way for a spirit to enter the DW is to have some kind of vessel. If we find out what it's vessel is, we might be able to destroy it ?

<Hannibal_Golux> (oh yeah)

<La_ST> (Well, the EArth one is suppording the area above it. The Elsewhere is connected to the Thing)

<Asm0dai> okay i really don't care about technoshamans now... we need soemthing creative do deal with this...

<Asm0dai> MC...

<Asm0dai> you were braggin about your knowing of the "Spirits" and places of otherwise...

<Marcello_Keagan> Something is holding it here Asmodai. If we can figure out what that something is, we might be able to boot it.

MC_Farstrider listens to Amo's query

<Asm0dai> if i trashed the computer keeping this working.. .could you sever this other conenction?

<Marvin_Black> Or it may be able to boot us

Asm0dai shows a diagram showign a schematic...

<AC_Newton> I fear we might wake it up...

<MC_Farstrider> hmms -- interesting

<Asm0dai> We need to cut it out...

<MC_Farstrider> a joint effect -- you propse to break the "earth link" and have me break the "spirit linjk"?

<Asm0dai> we can try destryoign all the links to this location...

<AgentGrey> Hm...

<Asm0dai> no... i want you to try anf break thi lin kthat is ethereal... you leve the hardware trashing to me...

<Hannibal_Golux> OK, we do *not* want to wake a sleeping dragon

<AgentGrey> It seems the Minds I am sensing are collecting just below that surface...

<Hannibal_Golux> They can be real grouchy

<Asm0dai> How do you mean collecting?

<Marcello_Keagan> As in... troops massing ?

<AgentGrey> Well, before it seems they were evenly distributed in the area below... UIt seems they are nearing the surface now

<MC_Farstrider> (I'm guessing the spirit linjk is to Malfeas)

<Hannibal_Golux> Oh great... there's more than one of them?

<AgentGrey> Maybe they want to attack us or set up a defense?

<Asm0dai> AS in... somethign is coming out to say hi?

<AgentGrey> Now, these minds are just twisted... I guess Fallen ones

<Hannibal_Golux> Perhaps we could parlay?

<AgentGrey> Yes, Dr.Keagan. Troupes amassing, that's it

<Marcello_Keagan> If this is some kind of hive mind, as you said that you felt when you were wearing the bracelet.....perhaps we can weaken the whole enough if we target the individuals...

<Marvin_Black> Ok... Who is willing to offer his soul?

<Hannibal_Golux> I mean, okay that's like trying to convince a hurricane not to hit Florida, but hey...

<La_ST> (Grey didn't feel a hive mind)

<La_ST> (He said he did *not*)

<MC_Farstrider> (that could work, ask the spirit of the wind to blow the other way)

<Marcello_Keagan> Rescan the area please, using MC's add-on..if these are XD entities too, this might cause a problem.

<AgentGrey> WEll, The individuals are probably only soldiers - cannon fodder...

<Marvin_Black> I always said you would get us in trouble... But no.. No one is listening to Marv... It's just him... Why care?

<MC_Farstrider> Marv. I'll ask Moira to talk with you when we gewt back again

<Hannibal_Golux> (pointing at Grey) *Him* get us into trouble? I've been convinced of it from the start.

<Asm0dai> Actualy i guess these guys comign out are NEphandi coders... if they are maybe HAnn and i should go and introduce them to proper coding...

AgentGrey frowns.

<AgentGrey> How shall I use Miss Farstrider's Add-in?

<AgentGrey> I don'tz think this is compatible...

<Asm0dai> Well he can join in the balsting of NEffies...

<Hannibal_Golux> Perhaps we should just through him out there as a distraction.

<AgentGrey> Hey, the trouble wasn't my making!

<Asm0dai> MC shoudl concentrate on tearing apart that goddamn link elsewhere...

<Marcello_Keagan> There is another way... what would a whiteout do /

<MC_Farstrider> nods

<Asm0dai> (actualy i explaind that twice here)

<Hannibal_Golux> Yeah, well, you were quite happy to go get us all tangled up in this thing when you were sporting that bracelet

<Asm0dai> We already skipped that idea Marcy...

<Marcello_Keagan> I can arrange one.

<MC_Farstrider> *wasn't thatone of Asmo's doomsday bo,b ideas?)

<Asm0dai> ...besides we need to cover anything before resorting to that...

AC_Newton blushes very red again.

<Asm0dai> (yes it was ,.. someone hasa bad memory here)

<AC_Newton> Well, this bracelet stuff was sort of an accident...

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, only if you believe in accidents.

Marvin_Black progs himself an umbrella and opens it

<Marvin_Black> Just in case fate strikes again

<Hannibal_Golux> Everything is connected. There is no such thing as accidents.

<AC_Newton> And it wasn't Kev's fault that he got influenced by it!

<Asm0dai> I cna gree on this one with Han...

<Asm0dai> we need to end this...

<Asm0dai> now...

AC_Newton nod.

<Asm0dai> and that is why we need an idea...

<AC_Newton> This is evil and has to be eradicated

<MC_Farstrider> ok -- whatdo you propose?

<Asm0dai> MC... get to work... cut that connection...

<Asm0dai> the rest of you... prepare for combat...

<Hannibal_Golux> Sure it was. His black hat mind just couldn't keep away from the damned thing. Neither could his superiors. I wouldn't mind betting that if it wasn't for the black hats this thing wouldn't have gotten as powerful as it was.

<Asm0dai> Hann... you and i need to do a backup plan...

<Marvin_Black> AC: Yeah.. This endeavor was evil and we will be ericated

AC_Newton frowns at Hann

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: I don't need to prepare for combat... I have my army to fight for me.

<Asm0dai> mass disconenct followed by a whiteout...

Hannibal_Golux grins

<AC_Newton> I think I remember that wyou would have put it on if Asmo didn't hinder you!

<Marcello_Keagan> Captain Newton, can I have a console ?

<AC_Newton> Well, sure...

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: Well, disconnect might be a problem... I gotta relocate. I can't just disconnect.

AC_Newton points at a free console

<Asm0dai> Marcello... you go in the corner and start helping yourself...

<Asm0dai> you can die if this goes wrong...

Marcello_Keagan moves over to that console and starts coding.

<MC_Farstrider> (MC sits down and tries to dream up code to sever the connection to the Otherworldsm using Spirit, Corr, Prime.

<Asm0dai> do you want Hann or me to put you to a safe place?

<Hannibal_Golux> Although I can easily pull out of this sector in a flash if anything goes wrong.

<MC_Farstrider> Marc -- please -- you need to be someplace else

<Asm0dai> so can i... i am worried for the others... and the aftereffects for us if we start the Whiteout...

<Marcello_Keagan> I have no clue how. I can't teleport.

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 1 8 5

<Marvin_Black> Where are those minds exactly? Right beside this God? In this God? Or just somewhere down there?

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 6 8 5

<AgentGrey> I think everyone who isn't necessary here should disconnect.

<Hannibal_Golux> Well, in that case, let's just get us all out of this sector and then we can white out the area once everyone is out.

<AgentGrey> AC, you should better leave, too

<MC_Farstrider> ok

<Asm0dai> ... Grey... we need all help we can get...

MC_Farstrider hugs Marc

<Asm0dai> Acy please stay...

<AgentGrey> Mr.Back, the Minds are right under the plane now

Marcello_Keagan hugs MC back.

<AgentGrey> THey don't move - maybe they just want to defend their base?

<Marvin_Black> Und the God is?

Asm0dai prepares the tirgger for his surpriese...

<MC_Farstrider> Hanni - please sned mark to the Demise

AgentGrey looks very worried

<AC_Newton> Well, sure I'll stay

<Asm0dai> Hann port the little git...

AC_Newton looks at Kev

<Marcello_Keagan> First.. give me a the location of this sector, a copy of MC's program.

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 9 7 10

Hannibal_Golux has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

<AC_Newton> I'm not a weak little girl that needs to be protected all the time!

<Marcello_Keagan> If none of you returns the least I can do is send this to the Voiders and let them handle it.

ZenMook has joined #agww

<Marcello_Keagan> and shut the fuck up Asmo.

AgentGrey nods to Marcello

<Marvin_Black> Now.. YOu are a crazy little girl that someone needs to be protected from.-...

<ZenMook> Well, this feels so much like being at home.

<Marcello_Keagan> Without MC you would have been dead now.

<AgentGrey> Yes, that would be a good idea, Dr.Keagan

<Asm0dai> Oh?

<ZenMook> Only I'm getting timed out every hour instead of 2 hours.

ZenMook is now known as Hannibal_Golux

<Asm0dai> i haven't seen anythin creative from ehr till now?

<Asm0dai> and you don't have anythign to say you little prick...

<Asm0dai> you have been cowering in the corner...

<Marvin_Black> (Zen: Run some browser, open some site and hit refresh every now and then to tell your connection you're active)

<MC_Farstrider> (ST: I've got 5 sux on the code to attempt to break the spirit link)

<Marvin_Black> I could send a blast right into those minds

<Marcello_Keagan> Cowering ?

<Hannibal_Golux> (what have I missed?)

<La_ST> (Ok, MC. How do you do it?)

<Asm0dai> instead of just sittign around wither pull your weight or fuck off... i am not planninng to babysit a shadow...

<La_ST> (Are you insulating it, are you cutting through or what?)

<Marcello_Keagan> And I wouldn't trust my dog, let alone my life to you.

Asm0dai turns back to coding the doomsday device...

<Asm0dai> You don't have a life, kid...

<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: Good idea, I'll go to my forums to "active topics" and set it to update at regular intervals)

<Asm0dai> you are jsut a number of 1's and 0's

<Asm0dai> i gues you are mostly o's anyway..

<Marcello_Keagan> Perhaps not at the moment, but at least I had a life... something that you probably lacked all your life.

AgentGrey stays at his console, watchingh the scans, even though he would love to go over to AC...

<MC_Farstrider> (I'm trying to isolate the link so it cannot stay connected. I guess you could say trying to "dump" the spirit connection)

<Marvin_Black> great I will die listening to Asmo and Marc argueing

<Asm0dai> I did more the nyou ever will.. your life is forfiet...

<Marvin_Black> Kevin: Would it be save to blast those minds?

Asm0dai is not even deining to look at Marc... he is just coding and commenting

Hannibal_Golux falls silent

<La_ST> (MC: Where exactly to you do it - close to the entity or farther ouzt?)

AgentGrey looks up from the console

<Asm0dai> Grey, Hann, Marv... watch it...

<MC_Farstrider> further out (it would be stronger closer in)

Marcello_Keagan starts coding too.\

<AgentGrey> Well, Marvin, they are stationary right now. I think you might try it

<Asm0dai> We may get an assault as soon as these things realsie MC is disconencting their patron...

<La_ST> (How far out?)

Marcello_Keagan is going to code a nice old fashioned lightning storm.

Hannibal_Golux seems to be staring into space in the direction of Marcello, something is on his mind.

<Asm0dai> Marcello last chance... want to logoof or stay?

<MC_Farstrider> Han: please transfer Marc out of here

<Asm0dai> (hmm port or stay...)

Marcello_Keagan ignores everyone and continues coding.

Marvin_Black pushes some buttons on his console, rigging it. Again the tentacle take another position...

<Marvin_Black> Spores.. Yup.That sounds right to me

<Asm0dai> (ok you realsie the after effect if you do it ?)

<Asm0dai> Okay brace for attack all of you...

<MC_Farstrider> (if I can figure it out, at the outer boarder of the sector)

Hannibal_Golux is still staring into space

<Marcello_Keagan> (yes, I know..it's probably suicide for me)

<Asm0dai> (and for us)

<MC_Farstrider> (Can I tell relative strength?_

<Marvin_Black> (ok... Cor / Mind to target the minds directly. Entropy, Forces, Prime to do the damage)

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 10 7 4

<Asm0dai> (and you are probalby not gonna do anything with it)

Marcello_Keagan makes it a storm with a neat delay.

<Marvin_Black> (4 Sux in the shot)

<Hannibal_Golux> (well, even if I don't disconnect my Corr is high enough that I should be able to instantly 'port to another location)

AgentGrey smiles

<AgentGrey> Marvin,whatever you do, you just blanked 5 of them out!

<MC_Farstrider> (ST:?)

<Marvin_Black> (This time a black cloud comes out of the Plague Cannon, goes into the pentagram formed between the tentacles and disappears)

Asm0dai doesn't like the frantic work Marc i sdoign on the ship console... so he checks what he is doing...

Hannibal_Golux has fallen into a contemplative silence.

<La_ST> (MC: Ah, moment...)

MC_Farstrider continues coding

Marcello_Keagan is coding stuff in enochian...adding symbols....

<Asm0dai> (not on this ship bright boy)

<La_ST> (MC: Well, it is a huge torrent... Wi5th 5 sux you barely touched the connection)

Asm0dai cuts the console...

<MC_Farstrider> (OK: can I make it an extended and try to get \more>?

<Asm0dai> Marc what are you doing ?

<La_ST> (MC sure)

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<La_ST> (MC: You *need* to do that ^_^)

<MC_Farstrider> +1

<Marcello_Keagan> I'm coding something to save your ass.

<Marvin_Black> (Four sux in my shot targeted directly at the minds (Cor / Mind for the aim) )

<Marcello_Keagan> So just get out of here.

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 5 5 8 1

<Marcello_Keagan> And get a life.

<Asm0dai> yes and i just cut you off...

<Asm0dai> no need to kill yourself yet...

<La_ST> (MC: While you are trying to cut into it, you feel tendrils from the link reaching out to you...)

<Asm0dai> though it is comoforting that we have a pariah if we ever gonan neeed one...

Hannibal_Golux suddenly stands and walks over to Asmo and Marcello.

<Asm0dai> Now rather preapre to fight boarders...

Asm0dai turns to Han...

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<Hannibal_Golux> Hey, asmodai, how about giving him some slack. Back off.

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 10 2 2 6

<AgentGrey> Marv, now there are only six left! Good work!

<Asm0dai> Yes, Han?

Marcello_Keagan is quite angry right now

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 1 3 1

Hannibal_Golux switches the console back on for Marcello.

<Asm0dai> (he doesn't :))

<La_ST> (Ouch)

<MC_Farstrider> WP to continue?

<Asm0dai> (we all know the little trick i did)

<Marvin_Black> (Any effect of the plague spores onto the mind sources underground?)

<Asm0dai> Sorry Han... but it isn't yet time for a Whiteout...

<Asm0dai> he started coding one...

<MC_Farstrider> Quint to counter, WP to continue?

<La_ST> (MC, one of the tendrils used your link to invade your soul...)

<Marcello_Keagan> And how do you know ?

<Asm0dai> we can try that as the last measure... like this we are gonna get hurt...

<Hannibal_Golux> And when the hell *is* it time?

<Asm0dai> a little bird told me...

<La_ST> (MC: You should first try to fight this ...thing that tries to get at you)

<MC_Farstrider> countermagick?

<Marvin_Black> (ST???)

Hannibal_Golux arcs his eyebrow

<La_ST> (MC: Yup.)

<Hannibal_Golux> Care to share?

<Asm0dai> when we lose any other method but crashing thw web, Han...

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 3

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 3 2 3

<Asm0dai> The Web cannot take Whiteouts...

<Marvin_Black> (<--- Waves a big Hello at ST ;) )

<La_ST> (Marv: Didn't you see Kev's comment? Only six left at last count)

<Asm0dai> i was here when the last big one hit... people died... and not only one sector can get hurt...

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 3

<agww-dice> MC_Farstrider rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 6 5

<Asm0dai> I want us to try anythign before we dump the sector...

<Marvin_Black> (Sorry... missed that.. *looks ashamed*)

<La_ST> (Marv :-)

<Hannibal_Golux> I feel more confident that the web can survive a white out that it can that thing down there

<Marcello_Keagan> and what if the Thing wakes up.

<Marvin_Black> Ok.. ANother shot. They'll surely know by now what life's about

<Marvin_Black> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 4 2 1 8

<Asm0dai> And i don't want this isiot to off himself just by feeling heroic...

<Asm0dai> Marcello we do a whiteot when it happens...

<La_ST> (MC: You foung the tendril to a standstuill... But that means you lost the cutting effect to the connection)

<Marcello_Keagan> Thats your job isn't it Old Guy.

<Marvin_Black> Dammit...

<Marcello_Keagan> (spoken with disdain)

<Asm0dai> till then we wait... and even then we could get them...

<AgentGrey> Marv? There are still 6 left...

<Asm0dai> Marcello stop talking shit and start working on something creative...

<Marvin_Black> I'm working on it to change that fact

<Asm0dai> you can go suicidal once we have no more optons...

<La_ST> (MC: I used Spirit, thus lesser diff for you)

<Asm0dai> IS THAT CLEAR?

<Marcello_Keagan> by then it might be too late... or do you have a working whitout program ready ?

<MC_Farstrider> (So I roll spirit contested I guess?)

<MC_Farstrider> !dice 4

<La_ST> (MC: Well, I thought you rerouted the cutting effect to a counter? If not then you have to roll...)

<AgentGrey> Marv, only one guy standing still!

<Asm0dai> SO rather go and prepare for battle... or help your little toiling girlfriend there...

<MC_Farstrider> yes - i did

<Asm0dai> stop being suicidal...

Hannibal_Golux frowns

AgentGrey looks approving

<MC_Farstrider> I guess its just too big to directly counter

<Marvin_Black> Kevin: And you are sure, you do not want to look at those who disappeared...

<agww-dice> Marvin_Black rolls the dice and gets the following results: 10 4 1 5

<Marvin_Black> (One Sux)

<MC_Farstrider> this "thing" is too *big* for my skill / knowledge I fear

<AgentGrey> Marv, it seems you managed to get them all offed! Great work

<Asm0dai> SO... you think you cannot do anything with it?

<Marcello_Keagan> What were you lacking ?

<Asm0dai> (what is the location of the hardware for this thing on Earth ?)

<MC_Farstrider> I tried to disconnect it, and it attacked me directly

<Marcello_Keagan> How ?

<La_ST> (Asmo: It's in Australia)

<MC_Farstrider> I had to stop to counter its attack

<Marvin_Black> Kevin: They just fell victim to my small DW Plague... They sure know a taste of Death and Decay now... But the Plague did the work. I only pushe the button

<La_ST> (Asmo: Below the Carpentaria Gulf)

<Asm0dai> (underwater ?)

<Marcello_Keagan> How did it attack MC ?

<AgentGrey> Well, obviously the attack by Asmodai and Mr.Golux killed off the defenses and you got through uncontested there

<MC_Farstrider> thru the spirit/corr link

<La_ST> (Asmo: Yup)

<Asm0dai> (can i rip apart the harware with a forces effect ?)

<Asm0dai> (or jsut wreck the conenctio nwith entropy & corr)

<La_ST> (Forces how many?)

<Marcello_Keagan> Okay.. lets do this again... now with a bit more distraction...

<Asm0dai> (well id do have forces 3/4 :))

<La_ST> (Maybe you ashould ask for help ^_^ To ge a bigger boom ^_^)

<Asm0dai> (no problem with that...)

Asm0dai turns to MArcello...

<Marcello_Keagan> can you all open fire on all fronts on this thing, while MC works on severing it's connection from the Otherworlds and Asmo works on destroying it's physical location on earth ?

<La_ST> (:-))

<Asm0dai> want to do soemthing usefull?

<AC_Newton> Useful? Sure

<AC_Newton> What?

<Asm0dai> Marcello?

<Marcello_Keagan> That might work /

<Asm0dai> i want you to make this what yo ustarted... but base it on assaulting hardware...

<Marcello_Keagan> Keep the thing busy defending itself against a physical attack, while Asmo and MC attack it's connection.

<La_ST> (MC: Well, again you got a little hold in the link... But it still feels like a torrent.)

<La_ST> (Ah, Ok.)

<La_ST> (So first you set up a shield for yourself)?

<MC_Farstrider> (5 sux yes)

<Hannibal_Golux> I suppose I could try keeping that thing distracted with the AIs. They can fein an attack enough to keep it distracted but not put themselves in immediate danger.#

<AC_Newton> Well, Can I help somewhere?

<MC_Farstrider> ok - with thatdone

Asm0dai gives the loation to Hann

<Asm0dai> here... Australia...

<Marcello_Keagan> Somewhere near Australia.. Asmo has the location.. oh I see... you already ahve it.

<La_ST> (You can stop rolling ... *Describe how you feel etc!)

<Asm0dai> it seems to be an underwater chantry...

<Hannibal_Golux> OK, on it now.

<AC_Newton> Underwater?

AC_Newton frowns.

<Asm0dai> I have logged the location... we can give ananyomus tips t techies...

<Hannibal_Golux> (so that's a Corr 3 effect?)

<Asm0dai> Acy.. neffies do it often...

<AC_Newton> I hate submarine Chantries... We fought one on Venus...

<AC_Newton> Yeah. I know

<Asm0dai> (ye you sjust send his attack to the end of the connection)

<MC_Farstrider> I'm umm mentally wrestling with what feels like an umm serpant thing

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: That makes... a lot of sense. RIght

<Marcello_Keagan> (I can manage it myself actually...Corr 3 I have here)

<Asm0dai> GREY... go to MC... use procedures to enfore her minds stability... she is dealign with a nasty brain beater...

<MC_Farstrider> I'm trying to seperate it from the DW by disrupting its presentce

<AC_Newton> Hanni: Sure. It was located onthe ground of one of the Venusian Oceans

<Asm0dai> (do it with Hann... it will be better and nastier)

AgentGrey nods

<Asm0dai> Acy... can we talk about that later?

AgentGrey puts his scanner array to auto and goes to MC

<Hannibal_Golux> An ocean on a planet known to have temperatures hotter than the sun? Ok

<Marvin_Black> Asmo: There will be no later...

Asm0dai continues coding the DWDOs

Marcello_Keagan starts working on his own appliance disrupting spell. Or a gremlin. It causes severe shortcircuits in any device.

AC_Newton checks the surroundings , but except for the carnage they causes, everything seems rather quite now

<Marcello_Keagan> Lets hope their computer runs on electricity.

Hannibal_Golux tracks the source IP and codes an invasion carrier signal to move Marcello's attack into place.

Marcello_Keagan starts coding.

Marvin_Black starts MarvTV, to scan the surroundings for anything suspicious "Conspiricy an Neffie, Conspiracy Theories and activities in the DW"

AgentGrey talks soothingly to MC and puts her into a trance-like state that she can concentrate fully on her effect.

<MC_Farstrider> Its hard to describe the reality of a thing of a thing of the outer dark

<Marvin_Black> (yup.. It's just when something moves we will see it. At least Entropy / Mind / Cor / Prime / Spirit / Forces wise)

<La_ST> (MC: Sure, but it would still be neat to learn a bit more of your feeling about this)

<Asm0dai> (just tell me when to roll)

<La_ST> (Marv: Yup :-)

<MC_Farstrider> (me looks at the Cthulu on Marv's shoulder and *shudders*)

<La_ST> (Asmo: Make it so)

Marcello_Keagan shudders

Marcello_Keagan curses

<Hannibal_Golux> (/me cheers: "Ia! Ia! Cthulhu!")

Marcello_Keagan blocks out MC's emotions

Marvin_Black s CThulluh sits quietly on Marvs shoulder watching MarvTV

<Asm0dai> (1 willpowe to be sure end send them my warmest regards...)

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 7 3 8 2

AgentGrey continues talking to MC to put her into a calm state

<Asm0dai> (3 suxx)

<Marvin_Black> Cthulluh: If your brother awakes... Don't tease him. We're deep into this shit already

<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin, can you ask your Cthulhu to stop watching Baywatch?

<MC_Farstrider> I sense "darkness"/"corruption" (what one would expect of the servants of the Nephandi's "gods"

<La_ST> (Some more ^_^)

<La_ST> (Asmo)

Asm0dai sends the attack inside with it riping it outwards and attackng the conenction turnign the bits into a fractal

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 8 9 2

<Asm0dai> (1 more.. 4 total)

<Marvin_Black> Han: He's just watching the realm around us. Perhaps his lost brother really resides here

<Marcello_Keagan> ST: Marcello is coding a neat little spell that will amplify the electric currents in any electrical appliance to 1000 times it's normal value. This is usually enough to end the life of any electrical device.

<La_ST> (Asmo: Obviously the base has some counter measure running, but slowly you feel that you erode them)

<La_ST> (Marc: Sounds neat)

<Marcello_Keagan> (Forces/Prime 2 effect)

Asm0dai shaped the fractal into a thing eating the 0's and 1's and turning them inside out...

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 7 8 2

<La_ST> (Marc: No Corr?)

<MC_Farstrider> I feel Amber guiding me and Jack trying to protect me.... as I fight the monsterous thing

<Marcello_Keagan> (The program will be delivered by Hann)

<Asm0dai> (wait isn't diff lesses since i am using a computer attack ?)

<Hannibal_Golux> Marvin: He's only watching the realm around us when you're looking. When your back is turned he's tuning it into Baywatch.

<La_ST> (MC: They try to help you, and you hear a calming voice that tells you that you will make it, you just need to keep steady)

<La_ST> (Marc: Ok.)

Marvin_Black now keeps watching MarvTV, just in case the Cthulluh really changes channels

<La_ST> (Asmo: Well, it is Arete that you roll)

<MC_Farstrider> I flash on my captors and I see this thing is yet another serfvant of that evil

<La_ST> (Asmo: And the Nephandi *are* working against you to save their preciouis base)

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 2 6 9

<Marcello_Keagan> !dice 5

<agww-dice> Marcello_Keagan rolls the dice and gets the following results: 10 10 4 5 2

<Marcello_Keagan> !dice 5

<agww-dice> Marcello_Keagan rolls the dice and gets the following results: 2 5 10 9 1

<Asm0dai> (heh purrfect ;))

<Asm0dai> (more ?)

<La_ST> (Nope ^_^)

<Marcello_Keagan> (the code itself...)

<La_ST> (Suddenly the attack overruns the resistance...)

Asm0dai shifts the fractal inwards collidign the bits into the fraactal and using it to kill the connection...

<Marcello_Keagan> (It's pretty decent..since I'm not a computer genius *g*)

<Marcello_Keagan> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Marcello_Keagan rolls the dice and gets the following results: 6 3 6 2

<MC_Farstrider> I continue to wrestle with the thing ... drawing on the strengths of the village -- we work together to fight the evil

<Marcello_Keagan> darn

<La_ST> (The electrical circuitry in the base sparks wildly and consoles blow up, as the energies rage through them...

<Marcello_Keagan> Darn

<Marcello_Keagan> no botch..just a failure..

<Marcello_Keagan> ()

<La_ST> (yup)

<La_ST> (As it was a joint venture it's not that bad anyway)

<MC_Farstrider> [any further effects from it?]

Asm0dai checkes if the connection is dead or if it is stil running in the background...

<La_ST> (MC, Moment, I describe the destruction of the base, then your effect should be completed)

<Marcello_Keagan> (oh wait..this might actually be coincidental)

<La_ST> (The Nephandi in the base ran around in panic, trying to maintain the connection, but one circuit after the other overloaded and blew...)

<MC_Farstrider> The village rallies to combat the thing, a horde of others attck in parelle

<La_ST> (The link to the DW sudenly broke... And the plane starts to wavers and shimmer in a myriad of darkish vcolours

<Asm0dai> People watch it...

<MC_Farstrider> (we better disconnect)

<Asm0dai> Prepare to disconnect if this gets nasty...

<La_ST> It looks like a blackish opalescent rainbow and waves shimmer and ripple through it... )

<Asm0dai> MArcello i'm sorry to do this... but you did well...

<La_ST> Right at the same timwe, anmother link snaps ...

Asm0dai teleports marcello in front of the demise

<Hannibal_Golux> (I'm going to prepare a transportation code for myself and anyone else unable to disconnect)

<La_ST> The cord that connects the alien entity to its source through a backdoor in the Web and Pattern web...

<Hannibal_Golux> (oh, Asmo, beat me to it)

<Asm0dai> (should i roll or i can do it ?)

AgentGrey too

<La_ST> (you do it, Asmo)

<Asm0dai> (1 quint... my last)

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 9 9 7 4

<Asm0dai> Cya Marc...

Marvin_Black looks around

<La_ST> Suddenly the ground heaves, as the entity is cut from its source of energy....

Asm0dai teleporst Marcello in front of the demise with a aplogy notice blinkng in the air next to him...

AC_Newton disconnects, and Kev follo3ws suit

<Asm0dai> Puurfect...

MC_Farstrider disconnect

<Marcello_Keagan> Curse you Old Guy (no more disdain (more grinning actually), while standing in front of the Demise)

<Asm0dai> we have hurt it...

Asm0dai stays...

<Asm0dai> Hann are you stayign with me to be sure?

<La_ST> Almost as in slowmotion, the ground seams to rise...

Marvin_Black still sits at his console

Asm0dai rises with the Nova and prpares hsi quick disconnect...

<Hannibal_Golux> I want to be sure this thing is dead. I'm ready to go if things get hairy.

<Asm0dai> Me too...

<La_ST> The plkane suddenly dissolves into myriads of colourfully-dark fractals...

<Asm0dai> Marv ?

<Asm0dai> Fascianting...

<Marvin_Black> Huh? What is it?

Asm0dai records the demise...

<Asm0dai> YOu staying for the ride?

Asm0dai balances the Nova and shifts the copies outwards

<Marvin_Black> Someone has to tell you, you've lost the fight against Death.

<La_ST> The seem to explode from the ground as in slow motion, and the farther away from the source they get, the more they dissolve into tinbier particles...

Asm0dai grins

Marvin_Black prepares a quick disconnect too

<Hannibal_Golux> Are you going to run from the possibility of death or are you going to live onthe edge?

<Asm0dai> Ah well the three wizards are left... and the others are gone...

<Asm0dai> Hannibal...

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo?

<Asm0dai> i had an idea...

<Asm0dai> can we port this ship right out?

<La_ST> The whole process takes agonizing minutes, in which the area gets more and more dissolves, until something like a black hole in the Web structure remains

<Hannibal_Golux> I don't see any reason why not.

<Asm0dai> A whiteout coud l happen if this goes to nasty...

Asm0dai scans the hole...

<La_ST> It is devoid of energy

Marvin_Black looks at MarvTV

Hannibal_Golux prepares a port for the Nova to outside the Demise.

<La_ST> It seems all the corruption dissolved

<Asm0dai> (is it trying to collapse in itself?)

<Marvin_Black> Not much left here it ssems

<Asm0dai> (like a black hole ?)

<Asm0dai> Well this was a bit... anticlimatic...

<La_ST> (Asmo: Well, think of it as a defective sector in a hard disk)

<Marvin_Black> Life consists of a series of disappointments

<La_ST> (RThe DW has a hole in it now)

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: Don't knock it... I'm happy with the easy life. I don't get it very often.

Asm0dai starts a rawhide modificitaion to mar the part of the Web...

<Asm0dai> Strnagely i can agree with you...

<Asm0dai> we did fine...

AC_Newton calls the Nova from the Meteor...

<AC_Newton> Hello, everything okay down there?

<Marvin_Black> So what do we do with this void?

Asm0dai opens the screen...

<Hannibal_Golux> Right, shall I port the Nova out of here?

<Marvin_Black> If this is what Deathlooks like?

<Asm0dai> We could make it a large pool and put a horde of Playmates around it...

<Asm0dai> Not yet...

<Asm0dai> Marv... scan for XD intrusion...

Hannibal_Golux relaxes a little from the controls.

<AC_Newton> Hello?

AC_Newton sounds somewhat worried

<Asm0dai> Hi Acy... we are done here...

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: Hello

<Marvin_Black> The TV is up and running...

<AC_Newton> Everything okay with ou?

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: Yes, we're still alive

<Marvin_Black> (Does the speaker report any XD activities?)

MC_Farstrider asks Teora to place her at the Demise (to look for Marc)

<AC_Newton> Ok, then I will return, I think...

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: We're not dead... yet

<Asm0dai> Acy, take Grey and the others to the Demise and pick up Marcello...

AC_Newton suddenly stands in the command centzer again

<AC_Newton> To the Deemise?

<AC_Newton> Ok?

<Hannibal_Golux> AC: Well I've been preparing a code to port the entire Nova out of here

AC_Newton winks out again

<Asm0dai> I have arranged with Maxien for the garnd atrium for us and a little party...

Marcello_Keagan is trying to become drunk

Marcello_Keagan doesn't succceed :)

AC_Newton appears in the DEmise, together with Kevin

<Marvin_Black> (any XD activities?)

<La_ST> (Masrv: Not anymore)

<Hannibal_Golux> (/me is succeeding where Marcello is failing with his third "exotic" beer tonight)

<MC_Farstrider> me go into the main bararea and looks for Marc

<Asm0dai> Okay... Han...

<Hannibal_Golux> We leaving?

AC_Newton and Kev are in the main bar

<MC_Farstrider> as is mc

<Marvin_Black> See... He says nothing about Gods and Spirits

Asm0dai dumps the coordinates of the Asutralian neffie base as a small drone that wil lfly to the VA outpost nearest to it in the Web...

Marcello_Keagan sighs loud enough to hear

<Asm0dai> Guys... we killed a God... that came to play in ou playground...

<La_ST> (Good idea, Asmo ^_^)

<AC_Newton> You sure that was a God?

<Marvin_Black> I don't want to think about the backlash fate will give us

<Asm0dai> (don't kill the drama!)

<Asm0dai> (:))

<Asm0dai> So we realyl did well...

AgentGrey has his arm protectively around AC's shoulders

<MC_Farstrider> I think so

<Asm0dai> Han, take us to the demise...

Hannibal_Golux sets the Nova to, in a blazing Moya style starburst effect, leave the sector and port to just outside the Demise.

<Asm0dai> I have a good idea we coud lparty for the next few hours...

MC_Farstrider seeks out Marc

<Marcello_Keagan> 'lo MC

<Hannibal_Golux> (/me likes the visuals there...)

MC_Farstrider hugs Marc

Marcello_Keagan is sitting at a table with 10 empty whiskey glasses in front of him. Still looking sober.

<La_ST> (^_^)

<Marvin_Black> I demand to choose the meeting place just one time for those meetings you always force me to attend

Marcello_Keagan hugs MC back.

Asm0dai lands the Nova, and s they aenter closes it and folds it back into its file...

AC_Newton is with Kev in the main bar room and waits for Hanni, Asmo and Marv

MC_Farstrider doesn't think Quint booze is likely to getyou drunk

<MC_Farstrider> lets join the others

Hannibal_Golux reallocates the AIs back to his little corner of the web before Asmodai closes the Nova file.

MC_Farstrider takes Marc's hand and leads him

Marvin_Black just stands around, saying nothing

<MC_Farstrider> AC/Kev?

<Asm0dai> Shall we party, gentlemen?

AC_Newton looks to MC

<AC_Newton> Yes?

Hannibal_Golux walks into the Spy's Demise and looks for Marcello.

<MC_Farstrider> I still have a problem

<AgentGrey> Party? Sounds good to me

AgentGrey grins

<AC_Newton> What problem, MC?

<Marcello_Keagan> Kat

<MC_Farstrider> Kat

Asm0dai enters the demise with MArcelo and Han...

Hannibal_Golux catches Agent Grey's last comment.

<AC_Newton> Oh.

<MC_Farstrider> GMTA (hugs)

<Hannibal_Golux> Grey: Well, we don't need you around anymore.

Asm0dai heads to the huge atrium with the aquariums and light/water shows...

<Marvin_Black> (Um.. Is this right? Everybody went in there and left Marv standing outside? *g*)

<AC_Newton> Hm... She disappeared siomehow, didn't she?

<Asm0dai> HI folks...

Marvin_Black sighs

AC_Newton looks to Hanni.

<AC_Newton> But I do!

<Asm0dai> (oh it was suppsoed to be AMrv and Han... sorry)

MC_Farstrider is talking in the main barwith Marc AC and Kev

Asm0dai pats Marv on the back...

<Asm0dai> So did we die?

<Asm0dai> Or are we jsut prolonging our demises...

<Marcello_Keagan> Give me time and I might do a simple tracer spell to find her. Correspondence shouldn't be too hard. She was part of me for a while after all.

Hannibal_Golux is all for prolonging his demise at the Demise

<Marvin_Black> We are prolonging our demise and it will get worse every time we gamble... Fate will give us huge backlash...

<MC_Farstrider> true

<AgentGrey> Well, I think I will stay with my spacegirl, no matter what you say, Mr.Golux

<Asm0dai> Okay... i am hapyp with the balance.. .i haven't done somthing ias funa as this ofr a looong time...

<Marvin_Black> And the next time we meet I will choose the place

<Asm0dai> Let's meet the others Marv...

<Marcello_Keagan> The Graveyard ?

Hannibal_Golux shakes his head in quiet disappointment at AC_Newton

Asm0dai enters the atrium where the others were seated with Marv next to him...

Marvin_Black follows Asmo and sits down

<Marvin_Black> That will be my personal surprise for you...

AC_Newton doesn't really notice that Hanni is disappointed. She is too happy that everything turned out well

Asm0dai looks at Marv...

<Asm0dai> what?

Hannibal_Golux lights up a black cigar giving off pure white smoke, matching his personal colour scheme.

<Marvin_Black> The meeting place... I want to choose it next time

<Marcello_Keagan> Don't bother..

<Asm0dai> We can discuss that... over a few drinks...

Marcello_Keagan is a bit depressed.

MC_Farstrider is in the main bar

Hannibal_Golux moves over to Marcello.

Asm0dai grisn from ear to ear.. .obviously changing his usaulyl imamculate Icon...

<Hannibal_Golux> Marc: Are you... um, okay?

MC_Farstrider sighs

<Marcello_Keagan> Yeah, just fine.. Not thirsty, hungry, drunk, whatever...

<Asm0dai> Marc.... yo utrashed their hard drive...

<Hannibal_Golux> Marc: Am I to understand that you have, um, become disconnected from your body as it were?

<Asm0dai> and their computer... the last thign before i kileld the connection was the whole thign crashing...

<Marcello_Keagan> Glad we kicked that badass's thing..

<Marcello_Keagan> Hannibal: Yes.

<Asm0dai> Yep...

<AC_Newton> Well, all's well that ends well!

Asm0dai looks at Han intently...

<Hannibal_Golux> Marc: What has happened to it?

AC_Newton smiles happily and leans against Kev

Hannibal_Golux notices Asmo.

<Asm0dai> So Han... can i start on my suggestion?

<Marvin_Black> Asmo: Not all eneded...

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: Can I help you?

<Marcello_Keagan> Han: I think it's in the freezer now

<Asm0dai> I can make the search... maybe you can go back...

<Marcello_Keagan> Han: Something about it self-destructing..

<Hannibal_Golux> Marc: You mean... your body is dead?

<Marcello_Keagan> Han: Yes.

Marcello_Keagan sighs

Hannibal_Golux nods sympathetically.

AgentGrey looks a bit worriedly, too

<Asm0dai> Well a least he is here...

<Asm0dai> and he hasn't stayed there...

<Hannibal_Golux> Marc: If you... um, need any help surviving around here... um, you just give me a call.

<AC_Newton> How does this work - I mean, that he died and didn't die?

<Asm0dai> ... Yes Hann is an export on the subject...

Asm0dai grins...

<Asm0dai> so Han shal lwe try and solve your problem?

<Asm0dai> (expert)

<Hannibal_Golux> (without thinking) memory transferance... (pausing) um, it's complex.

<Marvin_Black> AC: He cheated Death and now suffers the consequences

<Marcello_Keagan> Han: That might be convenient...it seems i'm stuck around here for a while..

<AC_Newton> Well, this is somewhere between cool and frightening, I'd say

<Hannibal_Golux> (asmo... interesting Freudian slip)

<Asm0dai> (yes... we can discuss it later... :))

<Hannibal_Golux> Marc: well, it can take some time to adjust, but I can help you in that department.

<Asm0dai> Actualy he is alive... and that is alltha matters...

Marvin_Black sighs and looks around

MC_Farstrider goes to bartender

<AgentGrey> Hm. I have to admit I'm in somewhat a precarious situation, too...

<Asm0dai> while he is alive in any form he can solve his problem...

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: He's still alive?

<AgentGrey> Although I wouldn't want to discuss this in an open area

<Asm0dai> besides in the web you can do anything...

<Asm0dai> Actualy it depends on your definition of Life, Han...

<Hannibal_Golux> Marc: YOu are still alive?

<Marcello_Keagan> My body is dead...

<Marcello_Keagan> But yeah, I think I'm still alive... somehow...

<AC_Newton> Well, he can still talk, so he can't be totally dead

<Asm0dai> no your body is clinnicaly dead...

<Asm0dai> it is still usable and quite working...

<Hannibal_Golux> Dead completely? Or just brain dead?

<Marcello_Keagan> I don't know...

Marcello_Keagan looks around a little bit confused..

<Asm0dai> no... his body is still alive and working...

<Asm0dai> it is in a state of high detoritation though,..

<Hannibal_Golux> Well if it is the latter there is yet hope for you.

<Asm0dai> so Ac froze it...

<Marvin_Black> He is undead I'd say

<AC_Newton> Yup

<AC_Newton> WEll, I *could* build an android body...

<Marcello_Keagan> And someone mentioned something about a curse....

<Hannibal_Golux> A curse?

MC_Farstrider walk into atrium

Hannibal_Golux sighs

Marcello_Keagan looks at Asmo..because he mentioned it..

<Asm0dai> Yes... Marcello seems to have been cursed with a self destrying entropic resonance...

<La_ST> (BTW, where are they now - in the main room or in some separee?)

<Marcello_Keagan> What is the source of this curse ?

<Marcello_Keagan> Some virus the techies put into me ?

<Asm0dai> his body was to "self destroy" ehen sertain effects happened...

<AgentGrey> Certainly not

<Asm0dai> nope... this is different...

<Marcello_Keagan> I'm not saying you did that...perhaps someone else..

<Hannibal_Golux> (looking squarely at Grey) I wouldn't be surprised.

<Asm0dai> it seems that it was with you since you were born..

<Marcello_Keagan> Oh ?

<Asm0dai> the entropic effect was extremely old...

AgentGrey looks straight at Hannibal.

<Marvin_Black> Born under a bad sign...

<AgentGrey> Why should be destroy a potential candidate...?

<Hannibal_Golux> In case he should escape.

AgentGrey suddenly looks a bit uncomfortable again

<Marcello_Keagan> To keep him on a safe leesh ?

<Asm0dai> Actualy i must disagree with you Han...

<Marcello_Keagan> (ea)

<Asm0dai> Marcello had this before he was imprisoned...

Hannibal_Golux fights back a grin as he takes a secret delight in making Grey uncomfortable.

<AgentGrey> (Actually his being uncomfortable has another reason..)

<Marcello_Keagan> Since I was born ?

<Asm0dai> (actually grey is not a tehcie aymore... not that it will be ovcious for quite a tim :))

<Hannibal_Golux> (yeah well, Han doesn't know that.... he's taking the credit in his mind... :) )

<Asm0dai> Well it is extremley old...

<Marvin_Black> I didn't do anything...

<Asm0dai> maybe a time triggers disease... or a cogneital afteeffect... i really am not a doctor...

Marcello_Keagan shakes his head

<AC_Newton> This sounds all very weird..

<Hannibal_Golux> (asmo: well, that means nothing to Han... he still sees him as a black hat)

<Marcello_Keagan> no diseases, or gene defects..

<Asm0dai> i only know you had really nasty thing with you...

<Marcello_Keagan> I'm pretty sure about that.

<Asm0dai> (wel lasmo doesn't trust him fully yet)

<Asm0dai> Marcello this is quite ephemeral...

<AgentGrey> (Hanni: Hm... I can't remember I ever wore a black hat while yxou were around *g*)

<Asm0dai> it is not like the normal disease...

<Marcello_Keagan> Yes, I understand.. I know what curses are.

Marvin_Black leans back and sighs

<Asm0dai> heck i could use some doctor that knows enough odn chaos patterns and applied entropy...

<Asm0dai> i am realyl not the expert...

<Asm0dai> anyway you had a proverbial sword above your head...

<Asm0dai> but i worry... what if you have it still

AC_Newton doesn't know much about medicine at all..

<Asm0dai> Wait...

Hannibal_Golux stands up.

<Hannibal_Golux> If you will excuse me ladies and gentlemen.

Asm0dai opens a small screen and puts it so he can scan Marcello

Hannibal_Golux leaves.

<AC_Newton> You are goingf already?

<Asm0dai> (entropy 2... to see if he is still cursed)

<Marcello_Keagan> Hey.

<Asm0dai> hey... Han!

<La_ST> (ok)

Hannibal_Golux suddenly zips out of the Demise.

<Marcello_Keagan> I would like it if you told me what you were going to do Old Guy (no disdain, more of a grin).

Asm0dai scnas Marcello

<Asm0dai> !dice 4

<agww-dice> Asm0dai rolls the dice and gets the following results: 1 2 9 1

<La_ST> (LOL)

<Asm0dai> (ROTFL !)

<La_ST> (Asmo, There is still that big bad curse hovering over him, waiting to devour his soul as well)

<Marvin_Black> (Ouch)

<Asm0dai> ... hmm it seems to me that you are still gonan die...

<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: I'm going to check on the bracelet I've had locked away and see if it's signatures have changed at all)

<Asm0dai> I am sorry Marv... but it is still awaiting you...

<La_ST> (Hanni: Good idea)

<Marcello_Keagan> (Marc at the very least)

<Asm0dai> (sorry typo)

<Asm0dai> Marc... you still have a bad fate waiting for you...

<Marvin_Black> Ever heard of curses jumping over to people who hang out with the victim?

<Asm0dai> i am really sorry...

Marcello_Keagan gives Marvin a glare

<Asm0dai> No... are you trying to insinuate something?

<La_ST> (Hanni: If you open the container, the bracelet will dissolve)

<Hannibal_Golux> (It dissolves? OK, well in that case would it be fair to assume that this has happened to any existing, worn, bracelets?)

Asm0dai starts a small email to the address Han provided, asking him on his response to Asmo's earlier proposal... and to ask if he still has the bracelet... and what he can do with it...

<La_ST> (Hanni: Yup)

<La_ST> (I think the Nephandi won't be amused)

Hannibal_Golux zips back into the Demise and returns to the table.

<Hannibal_Golux> I have good news, people.

<AC_Newton> Yeah?

<Hannibal_Golux> Any active bracelets that we haven't found have most likely dissolved and been destroyed as a chain reaction to our success.

AC_Newton looks questioningly at Hanni

<AC_Newton> Cool!

<AC_Newton> So the danger is over?

<Marvin_Black> I have bad news... The we now have a biiiiiig enemy

<Asm0dai> That is great...

<Marcello_Keagan> Interesting.

<AgentGrey> Hm.

<Hannibal_Golux> Grey: This means that your supervisor should be coming to her senses and wondering what she's been up to all this time.

<Asm0dai> Hann, yo uare going to destroy that goddamn bracelet?

AgentGrey frowns.

<Marvin_Black> A horde of ancient gods, fallen souls...

<Hannibal_Golux> Marv: Indeed, that was going to be my flipside....

<AgentGrey> I wonder about my Supervisor... Whjether she was just controlled by the bracelet, or whether she is a Fallen..

<Asm0dai> Oh... she is next...

AgentGrey nods

<Asm0dai> We are going to visit her at her home. .and check out...

<Hannibal_Golux> Grey: Well in that case this warrents further investigation, but I'm really just trying to find a reason to care if the Nephandi are destroying the Union from the inside.

AgentGrey somehow appears tofeel *really* uncomfortable now

<Marcello_Keagan> They won't destroy it.

<Asm0dai> Hann can i coutn on yu running interference for the electrical help and cover?

<Marcello_Keagan> They will use it destroy itself and the rest of the world.

<Marcello_Keagan> At least that is what I would do were I Nephandi

<Hannibal_Golux> (asmo: huh?)

<Asm0dai> Strangely Marcello made sense...

<AgentGrey> WEll, whatever, the Nephandi need to be rooted out, no matter where they are

<Asm0dai> Hann could you block emmsiosn from a location i supplied to you when we need it?

<Hannibal_Golux> (emmsiosn?)

<Asm0dai> I am gonna support Grey and who ever goes in from the Web...

<Marvin_Black> I think they will think the same of us now...

AgentGrey smiles weakly

<AgentGrey> Thank you

<Marcello_Keagan> We should first help MC find Kat

<Asm0dai> (emmisions... yu are supposed to block any transmisions she could make fro mher home...)

<Asm0dai> That is low on the list...

<Hannibal_Golux> (oh right)

<AC_Newton> Hm... Yes, the Kat problem is there, too

<Asm0dai> we cannot scour the whole web...

<Hannibal_Golux> Yeah, I could probably do that.

<Asm0dai> and she could be anywhere...

<Asm0dai> maybe we should split...

<Marcello_Keagan> I think I may be able to find her

AC_Newton will help Kev

<Marvin_Black> So the Nephandie can get us easier?

<Asm0dai> i can put a APB for KAt... if anyone has seen her they can track her down...

<Hannibal_Golux> No worries, I can find her and block her from the web.

<Marcello_Keagan> She will be in the same state as I am

<Marcello_Keagan> So thats not a smart thing to do.

<Asm0dai> Perfect... you can also disabel her security system?

<Marcello_Keagan> Hehehe

<Hannibal_Golux> Given time and luck, sure.

<Marcello_Keagan> Have need of a gremlin ?

<Asm0dai> okay you and i will be doing it

<La_ST> (Suggestion - we can plan that next time? I's 23:49 now )

<Asm0dai> (umkay)

MC_Farstrider nods

<Hannibal_Golux> There is an easier way to be rid of her.

Asm0dai takes Hann for a second aside...

<Hannibal_Golux> Just tell the Union they have a Nephandi in their ranks.

<Marcello_Keagan> That will work too

<Asm0dai> Hann... so what is your anwser to my proposal for your body ?

AgentGrey nods

<Asm0dai> Maybe we can get you back...

<Hannibal_Golux> They will eliminate her.

<AgentGrey> But they will want proof, I guess

<Marcello_Keagan> Proof ?

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: You can look if you wish. But I won't hold my breath.

<Asm0dai> Okay... if i find your body what then?

<AgentGrey> WEll, Contrary to popular belief, the Union does not execute scientists indiscriminately

<Asm0dai> Will you give me your ex real world name and location?

<Marcello_Keagan> Is it possible to bkactrace someones movements in the DW ?

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: We'll cross that bridge if you get to it.

<Marcello_Keagan> I wasn't talking about executing, you are the one who brings that up all the time.

<La_ST> Pardon?

<Hannibal_Golux> Asmo: Another time... I have an alert coming in from my homesite... I need to get back.

<Marvin_Black> Kevin: Ah.. Keep it low. We know, you know.. So what? Death is Death

<AgentGrey> Pardon?

<La_ST> (Sorry, wronbg window)=

<Asm0dai> Ok frop me the address on the adress i used... it is 100% protected...

<Marcello_Keagan> Were I a Union superior who was informed that one of his members might be a Nephandi, I would start a thorough investigation and interogation.

<Asm0dai> Cya Hann...

Asm0dai goes back and hears Marc...

Hannibal_Golux zips away from the Demise.#

<Asm0dai> MArc...

<Marcello_Keagan> Yes ?

<Asm0dai> Grey is in total shit...

<Hannibal_Golux> (ST: Did you want to leave it there?)

<Asm0dai> he has been too long away from the fold...

<Asm0dai> ... and that made him a security risk to them...

<Asm0dai> he cannot just go back.,..

<La_ST> (Hanni: I think this might be a good time+place ^_^)

AgentGrey puts on a grimace

<Marcello_Keagan> I understand

<AgentGrey> Indeed.

<Marcello_Keagan> But still, it doesn't include sending Grey back..

<Asm0dai> ... we will deal with that...

<Marvin_Black> Kevin: Welcome to the world of the lost

<Asm0dai> But tonight we party...

AgentGrey smiles mirthlessly.

<Marcello_Keagan> Perhaps you get off on virtual booze, but I tried it....and well...it sucks.

<AgentGrey> Why, thanks, Marv...

Asm0dai orders a huge round of drinsk for all present and starts some nice 3d representations of the things death...

<AgentGrey> Well, that sounds better

AC_Newton tousles Kev's hair and gives him a consoling kiss

Hannibal_Golux is now known as ZenCadet

<Asm0dai> (done for tonight :))

AgentGrey has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)

Marcello_Keagan is now known as d1ng0

<AC_Newton> Yup :-)

d1ng0 had quite some fun actually

La_ST thinks this went pretty well...

<Asm0dai> So we have finished the Story Arc... :)

Session Close: Tue May 20 23:55:56 2003
