<La_ST> (Rhi, you have the stage!)

Rev_Jones seems to remember being off getting food.

<La_ST> (Rev and Bob were hunting, yeah)

<Rhiannon_D> (ok, Bill was making rounds with the B52 to ensure noone got jumped, reverend Jones had gone hunting, and Sam was trying to figure out who the asian woman going by the name of Anna trully is, and what the hell is she doing here with that kick-ass Zep.

Nathan_Raiser is loading up his fridge...

Lady_Samantha prepares for going into the dungeon

<Lady_Samantha> (err temple)

<Rhiannon_D> (sorry, cancel the making rounds bit about Bill, Marv wasn't participating much at that point, so I can't tell exactly what he's doing...)

<La_ST> (Okay, for the memory impaired like me, here the scenery again)

<La_ST> This temple in the Amazon is supposed to house some proof that there

<La_ST> have been alien visitors to Earth. It is not some murals only -

<La_ST> according to Dr.Miller's sources there has to be more about this. And

<La_ST> that is why our valiant team of explorers made their way to the

<La_ST> rainforest to the location which is not too far away of Macchu Picchu.

<La_ST> The temple is made of stone and partly overgrown. There is a big

<La_ST> stairway of stone that leads upwards to an entrance that is adorned by

<Rhiannon_D> (Natahan proposed staying near the temple entrance instead of hunting..)

<La_ST> carved stone figures and mossy murals. The stone stairs are

<La_ST> weather-beaten, and there is a lot of moss. The murals depict scenes

<La_ST> with strange gods and sacrifices - and there are also weird things that

<La_ST> may or may not be machines of some sort.

Rev_Jones comes back with a brace of rabbits and a couple of ducks.

<La_ST> Just when the group wanted to enter the temple, it happened that some nasty bug bit Sarah, one of the two assistants of Doc Miller, and as Doc Sam concluded it might be best to treat her in a proper hospital, Wild Bill agreed to fly her out to the nearest bigger town to get her treated there.

<Rhiannon_D> (...)

<Rhiannon_D> (and replenish the stock of cigars ;-) )

<La_ST> So currently we have the following group of people here: Doc Miller (looking very worried), Rev Jones, Nathan Raiser, Anna, Doc Sam and Bob Grant... (Missed anyone?)

<Lady_Samantha> Rhi is not there right?

<La_ST> Prof Merak and his team already went away in a hurry due to Nate ingenious subterfuge

<La_ST> Rhi is not currently visible to anyone, yes

<Lady_Samantha> I thinks thats everyone

Dr_Miller looks to Rev Jones who is accompanied by Bob

Lady_Samantha is outfitted for adventuring,

<Dr_Miller> Hello Reverant, I'm so relieved that you returned unharmeD!

<Dr_Miller> After what happened to Sarah, I got very worried about you and Bob...

<Rev_Jones> Bah, a bit smelly is all.

Anna_Mihakai has changed from an overall in something more formal.

<Rev_Jones> It took a bit longer than I expected, but there should be enough here for everyone - even Prof Merak if he returns.

<Nathan_Raiser> i don't belive he will be

Rev_Jones shrugs his shoulders.

<Anna_Mihakai> The food problem is solved, Reverent

<Dr_Miller> Well, as I understood, we won't see Prof Merak again too soon. He has to take care of some ...governmental red tape

Nathan_Raiser grins nad fastens some straps on his fatigues and pieces of armor...

Nathan_Raiser snorts at the comment

Rev_Jones looks curiously at 'Anna'.

Lady_Samantha packs her backpack with her usual stuff

<Nathan_Raiser> he's taking care of getting his ass as far away from this country as his cash can take him by now

Dr_Miller smiles at Anna, albeit is is a bit weak a smile as she appears still somewhat worried

<Anna_Mihakai> The Zeppelin is stacked with food...

<Dr_Miller> I'm very grateful about your generous offer, Ms.Anna

<Rev_Jones> NOW you tell me! Does it have a shower too?

<Anna_Mihakai> It has showers.

<Lady_Samantha> (this is the way to Adventure.... a Zep RV)

<Rev_Jones> Well, if you don't mind, I will make use of one. Just as soon as I get these vermin cooking.

<Anna_Mihakai> Just don't go snooping around.

Rev_Jones starts slabbing the clay-like Earth around the ducks.

<Rev_Jones> I bet your Zeppelin doesn't have fresh meat on board.

Dr_Miller looks interested at the clay ducks

<Rhiannon_D> (?)

Rev_Jones drops the ducks into the fire. There is a fire, isn't there?

<Anna_Mihakai> (LOL... yes, but most have already eaten *G*)

Rev_Jones looks up.

<Rev_Jones> So that's just for the two of us, eh? Well the frost tonight ought to keep the rest chi.... OK, time for that shower.

Bob_Grant will definitely eat some ducks

Rhiannon_D waits patiently, contemplanting, as she's been doing for so long..

Nathan_Raiser heads to one of the crates around his part of the site and takes out some sort of small grey packages and some odd wires nad palces them in pockets on his clothes

<John_Jones> (if you are all waiting to move on, shall we skip a bit of time so I can munch my rabbit on the way?)

<Rhiannon_D> (*can wait a few more hours ;-)* in-game!!!)

<Dr_Miller> I would suggest that we finally go into the temple, now that we have eaten and everything...

<Dr_Miller> I am really burning to find the proof I expect!

<Anna_Mihakai> (duck)

<Anna_Mihakai> (not rabbit)

<Dr_Miller> (Whatever. Eat it and then we can go into the temple!!)

<John_Jones> (oh ok... unless I take the raw option!)

<Lady_Samantha> ok

John_Jones comes out of the Zeppelin, still slightly wet.

<John_Jones> Are we going?

<Dr_Miller> Sure.

<Dr_Miller> I'm a bit sorry that Sarah isn't here anymore - she always did take the best photos...

John_Jones grabs a pack and a duck. He cracks open the clay and carefully removes the featherless beast.

<Dr_Miller> Or do we have another capable photographer here?

Dr_Miller looks expectantly around

Anna_Mihakai rewards her with a blank stare.

<Dr_Miller> Hm...

Dr_Miller turns to Bob. In the worst case you might be able to take some pics, I hope

Bob_Grant shrugs

<Bob_Grant> Whatever you say, Doc.

Lady_Samantha has repacked including her special equipment and mundane stuff (as well as her doctors kit and her medkit on her belt)

Bob_Grant munches on one of the ducks

<Lady_Samantha> As usual, Sam looks like BatGirl with her utility belt

Dr_Miller looks a bit impatiently at the guys whi still devour their prey

<John_Jones> mmm donm minf me.... imf readyv

<John_Jones> (me doesn't carry round huge wads of equipment.... just common sense ;0 )

Dr_Miller has some tools put together into her bag, among them a torch and some other practical things

Nathan_Raiser loads a MP5 and adds a light under the barrel

<Dr_Miller> WEll, then let's get going!

John_Jones licks his fingers as the last of the duck fat trickles through his stubble.

Lady_Samantha rolled 3d10 dice and got: 5, 1, 5

<John_Jones> (hmm... botching the walking roll isn't a good start)

<Anna_Mihakai> (LOL)

<La_ST> (It was a Life 2 Effect, IIRC?) Then it was 1 sux)

<La_ST> (Naw. Sam wanted to take an Emergency Preparedness Pill. As it is a magickal Effect, it is Arete)

<Lady_Samantha> (how long does the effect last, looking for current scene)

<La_ST> (Current scene it is)

<Anna_Mihakai> let's get going, I'm curious what drew me here...

<Lady_Samantha> ok

Nathan_Raiser puts a set of elongated goggles on his forehead and covers them with a grey hat

Dr_Miller is already en route to the temply, closely followed by Bob who carries the photo equipment

Nathan_Raiser taps Miller on the back

<Nathan_Raiser> Doc...

<Lady_Samantha> yes?

<Nathan_Raiser> i need you to sign these...

<Lady_Samantha> oh

<Nathan_Raiser> I've seen Raidersof the Lost Ark and i really don't want to lose my investment

<Dr_Miller> Sign what?

Dr_Miller looks a bit perplexed at whatever Nate is holding under her nose

Nathan_Raiser hands you a printed out sheet with the definition of their agreement and for payign the cost... the price put there is the price for services rendered (wtih very vague notions of extraction of items, technicaly assistance and technological support...

<Dr_Miller> Uhm...

Nathan_Raiser pints to a line where you need to sign and shows the other line where he has already signed...

Dr_Miller browsed over the sheets, hoping she doesn't sell her soul to some devil...

Dr_Miller signs it nonetheless, albeit a bit reluctantly

Nathan_Raiser smiles

<Nathan_Raiser> Please wait a second while i fax this to my lawyer... then we can enter the temple

Dr_Miller sighs

<Anna_Mihakai> Very efficient. This will give him a legal base to fight over any finds that are made here.

Nathan_Raiser heads to the large covered object and seems to be doign somethign under it... a minute later he's there and ready...

Anna_Mihakai just says that into the air.

<Nathan_Raiser> (so you know that you know law now ?:))

Dr_Miller hopes she won't get a dozen new refrigerators for her office now.

John_Jones gets rid of a bit of duck from his back teeth.

<Anna_Mihakai> (actually it's what you said in different words.. so it doesn't indicate law, just more suspicion to your actions)

<Dr_Miller> so, can we go now?

Dr_Miller sighs

<John_Jones> So, has anyone actually managed to work out how to open this thing?

<Nathan_Raiser> We try oldfashined way... if it doesn't work i'll use a chaped charge

<Dr_Miller> Somehow she never liked red tape and related stuff. Too bad that Sarah was en route to some hospital...

<Dr_Miller> Well, we just took a short look into the entrance hall so far.

Dr_Miller looks up the big moss-over grown stairway

<Dr_Miller> Let's get going...

<Rev_Jones> It's open?

Dr_Miller steps up the somewhat uncomfortable stairs

<Dr_Miller> It appears as if they were constructed for people with a somewhat larger step. Or they were there to intimidate the commoners in the face of their gods

<La_ST> (Rev: We have been in the hall already. But then some ruckus drew us out again)

<Lady_Samantha> excuse me

<Lady_Samantha> what are we opening?

<La_ST> (We need to get back into the temple first.)

Nathan_Raiser is moving carefully looking around him

<La_ST> (Everybody climbed upstairs??)

<Lady_Samantha> door to the temple?

<La_ST> (No, Rev was too fast again)

<Rev_Jones> There is an altar somewhere under here. The assumption is that there is a secret passage under it.

<La_ST> (We have to get back into the temple first)

Rev_Jones is following. Following all the way in fact.

<Lady_Samantha> (Sam was not there the first time she was with Anna)

La_ST is standing at the entrance to the temple on top of the stairs and points her torch into it.

<La_ST> (Miller is)

<La_ST> In the hall of the temple, there are murals, this time scenes of battles

<Lady_Samantha> I'm making an effort to remember things though

<La_ST> and homages to rulers, always interspersed with gruesome sacrificial

<La_ST> scenes.

<La_ST> The hall gives way to a bigger hall that has a kind of alter in front of

<La_ST> the back wall. The altar is also adorned with carvings. There were

<La_ST> probably inlays of precious stones, but they were cut out already, there

<La_ST> are traces of barbaric destruction that can be seen at the altar.

Nathan_Raiser is looking for any sigils pointign to what he's searching for

<La_ST> Prof Merak had been cataloging and drawing the murals, and some sketches lie around, just as there is debris of pottery and of the murals, too

<Rev_Jones> I do have a suggestion for finding the entrance. Not only that we can do it without breaking anything.

Lady_Samantha studys the alter area

<La_ST> Nate: Some of the murals have scenes that appear vagely familiar to you

<La_ST> Nate: You would say it is a crude reinterpretation of somethings you have seen before

<Smiling-Bandit> n8all

Lady_Samantha take her tri-corder and attempt to read the

<La_ST> (Night SB)

<Lady_Samantha> immeadiate area to see if there is an opening below

Lady_Samantha rolled 3d10 dice and got: 7, 7, 10

<Lady_Samantha> 4sux I think

<Dr_Miller> Reverend, I'm always interested in ideas that don't risk destrucxtion of precious artifacts

<La_ST> (Sam: Your scan remders an eeries ...nothingness. You have the impression the data is somehow obscured.

<Anna_Mihakai> (Sam, suggestion, only roll when the ST asks you to roll)

<La_ST> (renders and eerie)

<Rev_Jones> I would imagine a building such as this has strong temporal energies. It would be comparatively simple task to tap these.

<Lady_Samantha> hmmmm thats odd

<Dr_Miller> Temporal energies?

<Rev_Jones> It should not take long go capture resonant images of the last time this altar was moved.

Dr_Miller looks somewhat blankly at the Reverend

<Dr_Miller> Well... do you think you can do that?

<Lady_Samantha> that seems to make sense

<Rev_Jones> Sure. The equipment is not too complicated.

Lady_Samantha watches with interest

Dr_Miller always wanted to take up studies in temporal mechanics, but due to her fascination with aliens, Lisa's studies were more into matters of dimensional science and Correspondence ^_^

<Dr_Miller> Well, could you drop me a little explanation as to what you intend to do?

Dr_Miller is very curious

Anna_Mihakai starts carefully checking out the walls...occasionally tapping on a "suspicious" stone and continues again. (Checking structural integrity as well as trying to find any secret passages behind walls)

<Dr_Miller> Reverend, could you please drop me a little explanation as to what you intend to do?

Dr_Miller looks very curious

<John_Jones> Sorry, if everyone could stand back so the tempodiluvial fields remain undisturbed.

<La_ST> (Anna: There is one part of the wall that does sound a bit differently. You think there should be at least some corridor behind it)

<John_Jones> These, um, devices help me identify the focal point of the temporal energies.

<John_Jones> I would explain what they are but, well, I am not totally sure myself.

Dr_Miller steps a bit back. "tempodiluvial" sure sounds somewhat intimidating.

John_Jones is placing the devices seemingly at random around the walls.

<John_Jones> Dr Miller if you could hold this one here, just like so.

<Lady_Samantha> hmmmmm

<Dr_Miller> Reverend, yoiu *do* have to tell me some day how you got into such eccentic studies...

Dr_Miller holds what she is given

<Lady_Samantha> (did the scan say anything about the walls (or only the alter)?)

Dr_Miller tries to make some sense of the device, but this is a bit apart from her expertise

John_Jones starts attaching some common twisted copper wire between each of the black thingummies and connects in turn to a small monitor.

<La_ST> (Sam: I thought you just scanned the altar?)

<Lady_Samantha> k

<Anna_Mihakai> There's something that might be a corridor behind this wall...

<John_Jones> Well, I think that's it. Now it is just a matter of letting the energies flow.

<Lady_Samantha> Anna: where?

John_Jones carefully steps back away from the area.

<Dr_Miller> Err, is it okay if I stand here, Reverend?

Anna_Mihakai points the the section.

Dr_Miller is a bit wary that the REv has stepped back farther than she is tanding

John_Jones rolled 3d10 dice and got: 10, 2, 3

Lady_Samantha takes out her special lockpicks and attempt to diagnose if there is a doorway, and how to open it

<Lady_Samantha> (roll?)

<La_ST> (John: You see that there seems to be a kind of temporal distortion a bit farther below the altar. Some meters, in fact

<John_Jones> Something is happening...

<La_ST> (Sam: You also sense thatthere seems to be a corridor)

<John_Jones> It was quite some time ago... perhaps if we give it a few more minutes.

<La_ST> (The wall looks pretty compact other wise, although there are numerous writings and symbols on it

Lady_Samantha studies the report of the probe and computes how to open the doorway

<John_Jones> And I am a bit bothered about human interference with the residual tempodiluvial energies.

<Lady_Samantha> (dex+lockpicking?)

<La_ST> (Sam: You see that there seems to be a pattern underlying the wall)

<La_ST> (Sam: As you have lockpicking, you are able to make out that there are some "wirings" within the wall.

John_Jones rolled 3d10 dice and got: 1, 7, 2

<La_ST> (Sam: Your scanner gives you a kind of "network" of some conductive substances embedded in the stone)

<John_Jones> Really miss! You are interfering with the effect!

<La_ST> (John: Other than that there is a temporal anomaly aseveral meters below the temple, you can't make out much. But you are sure this was done artificially)

<Lady_Samantha> pardon? by studying the wall? howso?>

<John_Jones> You are standing directly in the path of the bloody temporal patterns I am tracking.

<Lady_Samantha> that seems to make sense

<Anna_Mihakai> If temporal patterns make sense that is... *rolls her eyes to Sam*

<Dr_Miller> Hm can you try this again?

John_Jones goes around checking all the connections, then moves Dr Miller's hand slightly.

Dr_Miller still stands exactly where the REv told her to astand

<John_Jones> I think so. I think there may be some other resistence.

<Lady_Samantha> based on my findings, I'm hypothising (sp?), the thing you are looking for is thru this portal

John_Jones rolled 3d10 dice and got: 7, 8, 2

<Dr_Miller> Please, speed up a bit - I feel that my hand is getting a bit shaky

<John_Jones> (yay, 3 sux total)

<Anna_Mihakai> Well there is a corridor behind this wall here..

<La_ST> (John: You located a temporal "box" of no-time precisely 24m below the altar.

<Lady_Samantha> whispers to Anna: well I'm guessing he sort of means a time correspondcesort of)

Anna_Mihakai checks wether the wall is part of the supporting structure of the building and wether it can be safely removed (blown up) without any hazard to the rest of the structure.

<La_ST> (That "box" is about 3m long, 1,5m wide and 1,5m high

Lady_Samantha continues to study the doorwaY AND HOW TO DEFEAT IT

John_Jones peers at the screen.

<John_Jones> It would appear that there is something below which really is resisting me.

<John_Jones> From its shape and size, it would appear to be some kind of coffin, although rather fatter than I would imagine.

<John_Jones> Perhaps it was a fat man.

<Lady_Samantha> I compute the needed energy and using my lockpicks deactivate the doors locks (forces1+2,prime2,matter1,corr2) (with

<Lady_Samantha> with quint)

<La_ST> (Sam: This wiring is a bit more advanced than a standard lock, you'd say)

<Anna_Mihakai> (There need to be a lock to pick you know *G*)

<John_Jones> Either way... it seems to absorb all the temporal forces around here.

<Lady_Samantha> (nods, thats why the magickal effect to do it

;))

<La_ST> (What do your lockpicks do, exactly?)

<Dr_Miller> Hm. I wish I knew more about temporal stuff...

<Lady_Samantha> checking the file

<La_ST> (Sam: I did. They are obviously mechanical)

<Anna_Mihakai> There's a cooridor behind that wall people, and since you're done with the altar, mind if I take a look..

<Lady_Samantha> (Probe lock and note patterns; M1/F1/C2)

<La_ST> (BTW, Anna, you did a Matter scan of the wall? You noted that there are organic substances at the wall where the symbols are. )

<Anna_Mihakai> (you mean I detected individual atoms ? (I don't have life you know))

<La_ST> (Sam: Well, you get there is a conductive wiring within the stone. )

<La_ST> (Anna: Well, I think you should be able to distinguis organic from anorganic Matter, IMHO)

Lady_Samantha does a more complete scan then

Anna_Mihakai hmms

<Rhiannon_D> (organic= carbon-based, unlike stone which the wall mostly consists of ^^...)

Anna_Mihakai returns back to the wall

<La_ST> (Anna: You just have some problems to properly put the compounds you read)

<Lady_Samantha> (Life1/M1/F1/P1/C1+2)

Anna_Mihakai checks out the symbols some more..

Anna_Mihakai tries to guess what the stuff is by how it looks and feels.

<Lady_Samantha> (do i nbeed to roll?)

<La_ST> (Sam: Over the area where the wirings are embedded, you can scan proteins and DNA fragments. And remainders of what you think should have been hemoglobine)

<Lady_Samantha> hmm

<Lady_Samantha> (so the wall is partly "alive"?)

<Lady_Samantha> (or was?)

<La_ST> (No. The stuff is pretty dead, but it sort of coats the wall in some areas)

<Anna_Mihakai> (no the wall have been splattered by blood (organic stuff can stay "recognisable" for a very long time)

<Lady_Samantha> Clears throat.... folk?

<La_ST> (Right on the mark, Anna)

<Rhiannon_D> (as in, something that was once quite alive is now quite dead and splattered on the walls for a while ^^)

<Lady_Samantha> (ok)

<La_ST> (Actually it was not that much, but there are quite some spots there

Lady_Samantha looks at the altar .. and at the wall segments

<La_ST> (The organic stuff is put there in patters)

<La_ST> (You'd say the patterns correspond with the wiring that is embedded)

<Lady_Samantha> attempting to forensicly identify that its possible a victims umm fluids might have make these bio signs?

Anna_Mihakai heads over to the altar

<Anna_Mihakai> Since there's something beneath it, it might be possible that it can be removed..

Anna_Mihakai especially pays attention to holes in the floor that might be used to lower a large stone slab over whatever is burried below this..

<La_ST> (Sam: Well, you think the amount is actually not so much that it would have been someone who got fully splattered there. THere are patterns of the stuff.)

<Lady_Samantha> perhaps what were seeing is the wioring was "ties" and the vics were there not on the altar?

<La_ST> (The altar formerly was inlayed with precious stones, but they have been broken out

<Lady_Samantha> (Can I workout how to open the doorway?)

<La_ST> (Well, anyone doing a Matter/Life scan of the altar also finds that it was splattered with blood and otherorganic substances ripped from hapless victims)

<Nathan_Raiser> (that's hard to guess)

<Anna_Mihakai> (So I find a lot of rust red spots (blood))

<Rev_Jones> There is something here very very old.

Nathan_Raiser is leaning on the wall watching them and calmly working with a small grey thign and some wires...

<Nathan_Raiser> Rev... you have a talent for the obvious

<Lady_Samantha> (my thinking is using a charge from my pocket laser to trip the locking circuit so the door open)

<Nathan_Raiser> this whole temple is old...

<La_ST> (Anna. Yes, plus there is a channel down the altar where the blood seems to have flown down (vut into the stone)

Rev_Jones studies the pictures just in case some bright spark actually gave us a clue.

<La_ST> (cut)

<Anna_Mihakai> hmm

<La_ST> (Rev: Now that you spoted thatthingy, you see that the scenes contain something being worshipped)

<Anna_Mihakai> There's a blood chute here... leading below the altar..

<La_ST> (Rev: Some angelic figure lying in a translucent box)

Rev_Jones beckons Dr Miller.

<Rev_Jones> Have you ever seen anything like this?

Dr_Miller walks to the Rev

Lady_Samantha walks over to Nat

<Dr_Miller> Hm...

<Rev_Jones> Outside of the scriptures of coursed.

<Dr_Miller> Well, I have seen something similar in a book of Erich van Daeniken, I think

<Dr_Miller> I have to admit, his writings piointed me to this research in the first place...

<Lady_Samantha> Nate: I'm thinking we can open this doorway here... looking at the

<Nathan_Raiser> Daeniken was a loon...

<Lady_Samantha> scans it seems to be wired though

Dr_Miller looks to Raiser

<Dr_Miller> Not fully.

Nathan_Raiser looks up from his "toy"

<Dr_Miller> He really found some stuff... and it was published not in his books...

<Dr_Miller> He was advised to take out some of his essays and put them into Paradigma Magazine only

<Nathan_Raiser> one should differnetiate between aliens and alien influences and human achievement

<John_Jones> Do you have a copy of that book with you, Doctor?

<Nathan_Raiser> he quite clearly ascribed too much to aliens as is..

<Dr_Miller> Well, I have the issue of Paradigma in my tent, I think

<Dr_Miller> I wanted to compare his finding with what I expected here

Anna_Mihakai frowns

<Lady_Samantha> Nate: do you finding seem to say the same thing?

<John_Jones> Is there any chance you could run out and get it now?

<Dr_Miller> Sure he did. He put the stuff that way so that the Technocracy just thought he was a loon and left him alone

<Dr_Miller> Sure...

John_Jones seems quite excited.

<Dr_Miller> I think it might be interesting to compare this indeed

<Anna_Mihakai> Theres a Chute here that seems to be intended to lead blood down to that coffin....

<Lady_Samantha> (Asmo?)

<John_Jones> (night)

<Dr_Miller> A blood chute...

<Nathan_Raiser> interesting

<Nathan_Raiser> how wide is it?

<Lady_Samantha> Nate???

<Dr_Miller> Well, maybe they tried to revive this ...alien or whatever it is with that?

<John_Jones> Or it could just lead to a reservoir, or it could have been used by their mystics to power their spells.

<La_ST> (The chute is too small to get down directly)

<La_ST> ((Nate: 5cm, max)

<John_Jones> Historians have found that some of the strangest of finds have the most innocent of explanations.

<Lady_Samantha> Nate ???

<Nathan_Raiser> How deepd you you think it runs ?

<Dr_Miller> Okay, I will fetch the Paradigma issue... Wait - Bob, could you please fetch Vol.4, issue 3 from my tent? Thx...

<Anna_Mihakai> To the coffin...

Nathan_Raiser carefully puts the device he's been working on and places it in a plastic baggie

John_Jones takes a small coin and runs it through a small device.

John_Jones drops the coin down the tube.

Nathan_Raiser leans down next to the chute

<Nathan_Raiser> Give me some room

<Dr_Miller> What are you doing there??

Nathan_Raiser takes out a palm sized LCD lightup screen and some sort of a odd wire with a portrusion on top

Nathan_Raiser places the screen on the floor and conencts the cable...

Nathan_Raiser turns on some swithces on the LCD screen

<Rhiannon_D> (heh, optic fiber...)

<John_Jones> I covered the coin with an alkali gel. My geological device should now be able to trace it.

Nathan_Raiser points the point of the cable at the others

Nathan_Raiser smiels as their faces appear on the LCD

<Dr_Miller> Ah!

<Nathan_Raiser> okay...

<Dr_Miller> That's great!

<John_Jones> Nathan, good man.

<Nathan_Raiser> this thin has a built in light enhancer for night operations

John_Jones still keeps track of where his penny went.

Nathan_Raiser carefully places it into the chute watching the image

<La_ST> (John: It falls down the 24m to that temporal stasis box)

<La_ST> (John: It then seems to lie on top of it)

<John_Jones> I think you are right Anna, but it isn't actually going into the box.

<La_ST> (Nate: You see a thin shaft that reaches down. it is pretty much blood stained with very old blood)

<John_Jones> Perhaps there is something blocking the piping down there. Or perhaps the blood has coagulated.

<Dr_Miller> Hm.

<Dr_Miller> Or it expects blood and not metal?

<Anna_Mihakai> So we need to get through this corridor..

<John_Jones> That would imply it has some means of telling the two apart.

<Lady_Samantha> *sigh*

<Nathan_Raiser> i'm not planning on popping any veins for some idiot

<Anna_Mihakai> It shouldn't be too hard...

Anna_Mihakai checks out the wall covering the corridor for the most expedient spots to set charges and blow an opening in it with the explosives I found.

<Nathan_Raiser> who thought it would be fun to use a water weight as a lock

<Nathan_Raiser> WWhere did you get those?

<Nathan_Raiser> (what are those explosives ?)

<Anna_Mihakai> (nice lumps of grey clay like stuff)

<Dr_Miller> You don't want to blow the temple up, do you?

<John_Jones> Has anyone done a survey of joints in this wall?

<Dr_Miller> These are irreplaceable treasures!!

<Anna_Mihakai> Nah.. I'll just remove this pesky wall..

<Lady_Samantha> (what abouty my idea of using the laser to trip the lock?)

<Anna_Mihakai> (what lock ?)

<Nathan_Raiser> Where

<Nathan_Raiser> did

<Nathan_Raiser> you get that

<La_ST> (Sam: There are patterns of conductive material embedded in the stone)

Nathan_Raiser gets up

<John_Jones> Miss (looking at Sam), you said there was a space behind this wall. Did you find if there were any weaknesses in the wall before that?

<Nathan_Raiser> that's plastique of some sort

<La_ST> (Sam: You could drill holes inthe wall with the laser, but it might destroy the wiring pattern)

<Lady_Samantha> you mean is it a supoorting wall? or where the doorway is?

<John_Jones> Where the doorway is.

<La_ST> (The wiring is "nexts" to the corridor behind that wall)

<John_Jones> It should be a simple matter of echo location, same as you have seen on Time Team.

<La_ST> (So behind the wiring there is more stone.)

<John_Jones> In fact, if there is anything in the walls, it should show that too.

<Lady_Samantha> (i was thinking using the laser as a conduit for forces for triggering what ever is holding the door closed?)

<Nathan_Raiser> For someone who just seems to pop out of nowhere with no credentials or backing, claimign to be an amnesiac it's quite odd to find a couple of pounds of plastique... or the skill to use it...

Nathan_Raiser is looking at Anna very suspicously...

<La_ST> (Sam: Well, as I said, there is no mechanism you could see, there is just a pattern of "wiring"

<La_ST> (This Wiring seems to go around the "opening" (that is still hidden behind the wall)

<John_Jones> (Sam, can I see your results, or are they on a personal device?)

Lady_Samantha scanes the wiring specifically with life/matter/forces/corr2

Lady_Samantha shows the meters to Rev Jones

<John_Jones> Is there any chance we could disentangle this wiring?

<La_ST> (Well, currently this wiring is dormant, but you think it can probably be triggered somehow)

<Lady_Samantha> i think I could activate it

<John_Jones> It cannot be any more complicated than a mac...

<La_ST> (Rev: BTw, do you have Life as Sphere?)

<John_Jones> (ST: Lightening calculator + engineering please... does this make sense?)

<John_Jones> (st: no)

<La_ST> (John: Well, you would say this wiring seems to be positioned so that it can build up some field that would focus on the stone over the opening)

<La_ST> (John: BTw, if you scan the wall yourself again, you also notice a tempral residue there)

<John_Jones> Hmm... it looks less like a circuit, more like some kind of ... well electromagnet.

<John_Jones> I guess if you can power it evenly... yes... that might work.

<Dr_Miller> 9;2~HM... Power it - how?

Lady_Samantha continues to study how to do this

<Dr_Miller> Did someone see any batteries that powered it?

Dr_Miller frowns

<Dr_Miller> So far everybody just mentioned these wiring patterns...

<Dr_Miller> What if they need something else than electricity?

<Nathan_Raiser> bblood probably

<Dr_Miller> Hm.

<Nathan_Raiser> gallons of it if the old incas are to be followed

<Dr_Miller> This doesn't sound too savoury

<Nathan_Raiser> i'd go with "Anna" on this one and justz blow the door up

<La_ST> (Whoever did a life scan - the murals with the symbols that show residues of organic material didn't seem to be splattered in gallons of it)

<Lady_Samantha> (OK - I setup my laser (as a conduit for forces/life/matter/prime/corr2) to power the wiring, (1WP,1Quint)

<La_ST> (Ok. Roll ^_^)

<Anna_Mihakai> (back, sorry flatmates were "bothering" me)

Lady_Samantha rolled 3d10 dice and got: 10, 8, 4

<La_ST> (Hm... )

<Lady_Samantha> 3sux

<Nathan_Raiser> For someone who just seems to pop out of nowhere with no credentials or backing, claimign to be an amnesiac it's quite odd to find a couple of pounds of plastique... or the skill to use it...

<Anna_Mihakai> I found it it Marek's tent.

<Lady_Samantha> (err 4 wp)

<La_ST> (OKay, you seem to have bypassed the genetic lock that way ^_^)

<La_ST> (Suddenly the wall shows a silvery, oval energy field that streches out from the outsides...

<Nathan_Raiser> and how exactly are you rigging it up?

<Nathan_Raiser> that's not something you learn just by expermenting

<La_ST> (Hm. Actually I want to give Rhiannon a chance to get into play, too)

<Anna_Mihakai> with the electric detonators I found too... small charges set at regular intervals around the wall. In a sense it will create a doorway in the wall.

Nathan_Raiser gives Anna a stern look and turns towards the door raising his gun and looking at the doors...

<La_ST> (The silvery oval over the wall grows from the outsides into the midle, and it shimmers like quicksilver...

<Nathan_Raiser> so much for the "i'm a amnesiac that doesn't know shit" bit

<Dr_Miller> Mr.Raiser, Ms.Anna... Look!

<La_ST> (You see a shimmering oval just where the corridor is supposed to be

<Anna_Mihakai> what the....

<Lady_Samantha> (no corredor?)

Nathan_Raiser points the gun and crouches to have a better firing position

<Nathan_Raiser> i... don't... like... this...

<La_ST> (Sam: No. A kind of gate)

<Lady_Samantha> (oh right a stargate ;))

Anna_Mihakai walks over to the shimmering thing carefully extending her hand

<Lady_Samantha> So its a portal

<La_ST> (You have a feeling of static electricity - your hairs stand on end ^_:^)

<Lady_Samantha> I scan it for energy signaturesd (what types of spheres seemt o be present)?

<La_ST> (Sam: You get a Prime/Forces/Life signature

<Lady_Samantha> (no corr?)

<Lady_Samantha> hmmm

<La_ST> (Nope)

<John_Jones> Let me try my coin trick again...

John_Jones primes another coin and throws it through the portal.

<La_ST> (Ok. Rev. WHat Spheres do you useto track the coin?)

<John_Jones> (Matter/Corr to begin with)

<La_ST> (The coin disappears)

<John_Jones> How odd... no trace of it.

<Lady_Samantha> I take a gause (sp?) pad and spit on it (to make a bio sig)

<John_Jones> Hmm, I wonder... let me recalibrate it with these temporal doodahs.

John_Jones sets four of his little black things around the doorway, reattaches the copper twinply and fiddles around a bit.

<Lady_Samantha> wrap it around a coin and throw it into the portal, (transing with prime.life/corr/force/matter)

<La_ST> (Sam: It disappears)

<John_Jones> (now Matter, Corr and Time!)

<Lady_Samantha> nothing on the tracking?

<La_ST> (John: You still have a trace... It seems not where did the other go - but *when* did it go

<John_Jones> (Can I get an idea of the time scale... forward, back and how far?

<La_ST> (Sam: Now it should be more logical to you ^_^ No trace)

<Lady_Samantha> so its a time portal

<Nathan_Raiser> oookay

<Nathan_Raiser> this shouldn't be happening

<La_ST> (John: It doesn't go far - it is just displaced out of our normal time stream

Anna_Mihakai steps back

<John_Jones> Well well.

<Lady_Samantha> so where does it go?

<John_Jones> It seems that time does not quite work normally here.

Anna_Mihakai preps a large chunk of explosive with a detonator and sticks it to the entrance to this room..

<La_ST> (John: You would say this is a very neat means to hide the "box" - it is in a time continuum "next" to ours)

<John_Jones> Imagine this - um, what is your name Miss?

<Lady_Samantha> me?

Dr_Miller sees Anna...

<Dr_Miller> What are you doing there??? DonD't!!

<John_Jones> Yes... I can't keep calling you miss.

<Dr_Miller> Ms Anna, you might destroy our only way to reach that ...treasure box!

<Lady_Samantha> I'm Lady Samantha smith-Whitefield, MD (Doc or Sam will do thou)

<Lady_Samantha> err tho

<Anna_Mihakai> and prevent whatever is locked in that box from escaping this place...

Anna_Mihakai looks amazed at her own response

<Rhiannon_D> (*sniff*)

<La_ST> (LOL)

<Nathan_Raiser> "anna" don't be blowing anything up yet...

<John_Jones> Well, Sam. Imagine we are on a train travelling along a track.

<Dr_Miller> But think of the loss for Science!

<Lady_Samantha> ok -

<Dr_Miller> We need to investigate this

<Nathan_Raiser> doc

<John_Jones> This portal is like a split in the tracks, leading to a siding.

<Lady_Samantha> yes?

<Nathan_Raiser> who cares about science

<Lady_Samantha> ah - I follow

<Nathan_Raiser> think of life and limb

<Dr_Miller> It seems that here are temporal mechanics at work that we have yet to find ourselves

<John_Jones> Except, someone planted some tall bushes so we cannot see it - and it cannot see us, I think.

<Rhiannon_D> (*wet, large, pleading yellow eyes*)

<Nathan_Raiser> we need to be very catefull about this

<Lady_Samantha> so going thru this portal would put us on the same "siding"?

<John_Jones> And as with all sidings, there is only one way in and one way out.

John_Jones scratches his head.

<John_Jones> I think so.

<Anna_Mihakai> If your precious Von Daenicken is right... then whomever that locked whatever away might have a very good reason.... I'm just being carefull...

<Nathan_Raiser> Okay... i'd agree with setting the explosives

<Dr_Miller> Hm. I think this something or someone was locked away to protect it!

<Nathan_Raiser> but you should give me the detonator

<John_Jones> Why, Nathan?

<Nathan_Raiser> as a safety precaution

<Dr_Miller> It seems they even took care to nourish it or whatever

<Lady_Samantha> fail safe I guessing

<Nathan_Raiser> if what comes out is soemthign fro mthe Pen of Lvecraft we can blow it up along with the portal

John_Jones nods.

<Lady_Samantha> hmm =-= the picture show something more angelic tho?

<Dr_Miller> Hm. That sounds reasonable, UI'd say

<Dr_Miller> But we shouldn't blow anything up before investigating it

<Lady_Samantha> I agree

<Anna_Mihakai> just because it has wings, it doesn't mean it's a nice thing..

<Anna_Mihakai> If angels have wings then the devil has wings too.

<John_Jones> The Hebrew scriptures indicate that even angels are not necessarily nice people.

<John_Jones> It does not mean we should not respect them though.

<Lady_Samantha> Ok so whats the plan?

<Dr_Miller> Hm. If this is a real alien, I want to meet it - him - her...whatever

<Lady_Samantha> I wonder what languages it speaks?

<John_Jones> I suggest we go through at the same time.

<Dr_Miller> Well, I think Two or three of us should go down and the others should stand guard

<Nathan_Raiser> I'm not so sure i want to see it

Nathan_Raiser concludes that the portal is too small for the aliens he is searching for...

<John_Jones> I cannot predict how these railtracks go.

<Lady_Samantha> I will go with John

<Anna_Mihakai> I'm staying here.

<Lady_Samantha> (what can I say, I'm Curious ;))

Anna_Mihakai looks affraid

<Nathan_Raiser> well in that case i'm staying to look after you

<John_Jones> (I don't think you could stop me!)

<Lady_Samantha> Nate will look after you

<Nathan_Raiser> and i'm generally against any of us just walking in

<Anna_Mihakai> How comforting..

John_Jones takes Nathan's hand.

<Lady_Samantha> Ok John, How do we do thisd?

<John_Jones> Please try not to blow us up before we return.

<Nathan_Raiser> Sure

Anna_Mihakai still has the detonator..

<Dr_Miller> Well, I will go with you, too, of course

<Nathan_Raiser> if i hear screams or see somthign big bad and weird i will be blowing you up.,..

Bob_Grant returned with the Paradigma Issue, btw

Nathan_Raiser thinks... whackos all of them... and that cook magazine they were talking about...

<Dr_Miller> So, shall we risk it then?

Rev_Jones stands between Sam and Dr Miller and takes their hands.

<Rev_Jones> On three...

<Dr_Miller> Ok

<Lady_Samantha> ok

<Rev_Jones> three...

<Lady_Samantha> jump

Rev_Jones walks forward.

Dr_Miller goes through the shimmering oval with the others

<Lady_Samantha> ok look around what do we see

<La_ST> You feel an eerie sensation, like going through a charged area

<Anna_Mihakai> I don't like this one little bit at all...

<Nathan_Raiser> now then... "anna"

<La_ST> It seems as if all your hair is standing up, and there is a short freezing sensation... as if the icewinds of time blew down your spine...

<Nathan_Raiser> put the detonator on the altar since that's fair...

<La_ST> But right after that, you stand in a finelly hewn corridor

<Lady_Samantha> so the corredor we detected was here not there?

<Lady_Samantha> ok

<La_ST> it looks very neatly worked, very smooth walls and ground

Rev_Jones looks around for his coin.

<Lady_Samantha> do we see anything in the corredor? either coin

<La_ST> It is strangely not dark - the walls luminesce in a greenish light

<La_ST> (Rev: You see the coin that disappeared now again)

<La_ST> (Rev: Sam, you also see your coin now)

Nathan_Raiser waits for "anna to put the detonator" down

Rev_Jones tries to scrape a tiny amount of the wall to analyse.

<La_ST> (And don't put it down on the buttom side!)

<La_ST> (button)

<Lady_Samantha> OK so we're where the portal went

<Nathan_Raiser> You know... "Anna"

Anna_Mihakai has the detonator in her hand very tightly..

<Nathan_Raiser> i was just thinking...

<La_ST> (Rev: It might be some fungus, but it doesn#t look unsavoury. JUst a bit eeerie)

Rev_Jones also throws his coin back through the portal. If it is there.

<Nathan_Raiser> if the coin dissapeared when they dropped it in... anbd this thing appreared...

<Nathan_Raiser> could the coin be there?

<Nathan_Raiser> By extension...

<La_ST> (It is there. And suddently a coin lands on the ground of the hall of the temple)

<Lady_Samantha> I toss mine too

<Nathan_Raiser> did they just walk into a place where these bloody morons were sending all that blood?

<Rev_Jones> Well... shall we go on?

<La_ST> (The second coin flies by, only marginally missing Nate)

<La_ST> (They walk into a corridor that was hidden behind a wall ^_^)

<Nathan_Raiser> oh... my... God...

<Nathan_Raiser> they did walk into a place where the Incas were sending the blood

<Nathan_Raiser> what if that somethign is still there? The reverend said somethign about a place outisde of time!

Bob_Grant closes his eyes

<Bob_Grant> Doc Millar is known for somewhat rrash actions when research is involved...

<Nathan_Raiser> bob... i want you to go in and to tell them to get out now...

<Nathan_Raiser> where the fuck is Bill when i need him

<Rev_Jones> Sam, do your reading give us some kind of layout of this place?

<Bob_Grant> Well. I can go in - but I doubt she will listen...

<La_ST> (The corridor makes some turns and seems to descend down.)

Bob_Grant looks fatalistically at the "gate"

<Nathan_Raiser> Tell them i'll be closing the door permanently if they aren't out in 5 minutes

Lady_Samantha runs a new scan (life/prime/forces/matter/corr1=corr2)

<Bob_Grant> Ave Doc, Morituri te salutant...

<La_ST> Sam: the corridor is empty.

<Lady_Samantha> does it go someplace?

<La_ST> SAm: Your scan currently doesnÄ't yield any results other than your colleagues

<Rev_Jones> Well, I guess we go down.

<La_ST> (Sam: It goes down. Actually 24m down.

<Dr_Miller> I'm more than curious what we will find down there!

<Lady_Samantha> ok - after going down, we should see the entity?

Rev_Jones starts cautiously forward.

Dr_Miller now takes the lead and follows the corridor

Bob_Grant still looks transfixed to the shimmering gate

Lady_Samantha walks slowly scaninbg (visuall)

Rev_Jones tries to keep both his colleagues in sight!

<Bob_Grant> It is apparent that he doesn't really like the idea to go through that at all. He isn't paid *that* much for his job

<Nathan_Raiser> Bob

<Nathan_Raiser> you know

Lady_Samantha take her binocs and looks for anything out of normal range

<Nathan_Raiser> i can always play you a solo for a tapdance on this thing if you don't hurry up

<La_ST> Suddenly you arrive in a hall that is about 10x15 meters big and maybe 3m tall

Nathan_Raiser repeats his gun

<Lady_Samantha> put away ther ninocs

<Lady_Samantha> err binocs

<Rev_Jones> (is it 24m down?)

Bob_Grant looks at the gun, and his face turns pale even through his dark complexion

<Lady_Samantha> what is in this room?

Bob_Grant decidesnot to face Nate's wrath and better go through the gate

<La_ST> (24m down)

<Anna_Mihakai> (bah)

<Rev_Jones> This is the place.

<La_ST> In the middle of the room, you can see a sarcophagus of translucent material

<Lady_Samantha> llook at it

<Lady_Samantha> is there a shape in it?

<Nathan_Raiser> (Oh shit... a vampire)

<La_ST> The blood chute made a turn and led into an inlet next to the sarcophagus, while the coin roilled over the rim and landed on top of the sarcophagus

<La_ST> (Rhi: Describe yourself, please)

<Rev_Jones> (worse, a Young British Artist)

<Nathan_Raiser> (i'll kill him and then we can get back to me collecting them all ;))

<La_ST> (Sam: There is a beautiful figure lying in it - and I hope Fix didn't fall asleep while waiting)

<Nathan_Raiser> Anna

<Nathan_Raiser> Bob has 3 more minutes

<Anna_Mihakai> (back)

<Nathan_Raiser> then we blow the portal

<Lady_Samantha> I attempt to do a life/prime/matter/corr/forces scan

<Lady_Samantha> to see if it alive

<La_ST> (Nate: WE have to wait for FIx *g* that doesn't count)

<Nathan_Raiser> there's a blood sucking mosnter there and has probably eaten them if bob doesn't find them

Rev_Jones looks for locks and openings but _does not touch_

<Nathan_Raiser> (Fix is a vampire, therefore he doesn't count

:))

<La_ST> (Fix is *no* vampire. But blood carries quite some tass...)

<La_ST> (That was ooc of course)

<Nathan_Raiser> (anyone taking blood for power is a vampire...)

<Rev_Jones> (look, only Modern Art would make transparent what should be opaque and use really bland plain walls, and finally use a bedroom as a piece of art)

<La_ST> (Who says it was Rhi's idea??)

<Nathan_Raiser> (ROTFL)

<La_ST> (DAmn, where is Fix??)

<Lady_Samantha> do I roll?

<La_ST> (Sam: No)

Rev_Jones rolled 17d10 dice and got: 2, 6, 3, 1, 8, 2, 3, 9, 9, 10, 10, 4, 6, 4, 9, 8, 1

<Nathan_Raiser> (Nathan is a principled man... more or less... and the though of someone takign balood as payment or a source of power is abhoring to him... so he'll kill him :))

<Rhiannon_D> Inside the sarcophagus, you can see a strikingly beautiful woman, apparently not much older than 20. She is covered in a tattered and scorched white "dress". A few strands of purple hair rech just above her shoulders, but what draws your attention is a metallic skeleton-like pair of wings that seems to come out from her back.

<Nathan_Raiser> (her)

<Rev_Jones> Fascinating.

<Lady_Samantha> (whats the roll for?)

<Dr_Miller> Beautiful!

<Anna_Mihakai> I don't like this one little bit...

<La_ST> (Dunno ;-)

<Dr_Miller> Look at those wings!

Rhiannon_D twitches slightly, then opens her eyes, that shine for a few moments with a honey yellow colour.

<Dr_Miller> They seem to be of some metal...

<Nathan_Raiser> ...

<Dr_Miller> (Sam: At first your scan didn't yield any result...)

<Nathan_Raiser> there's a monster there

<Nathan_Raiser> it ate them by now

<Dr_Miller> (But suddenly you get a reading, as if it is switched on)

<Nathan_Raiser> I am giving bob onbe more minute

<Nathan_Raiser> then we blow this shit

Rev_Jones starts whispering the Lord's prayer... in Latin.

<Nathan_Raiser> fuck... why didn't iput 2 and 2 together earlier...

<Lady_Samantha> Does she look like any mytholgical race ?

Rhiannon_D stares blankly straight for a few moments, before starting to realise where she is.

<La_ST> (Sam: There is a forces, matter and prime reading - no life, though.)

<Nathan_Raiser> then these idiots wouldn't have gotten themselves into this

<Lady_Samantha> I ask serially, in each language "who are you?"

Rhiannon_D puts two hands on the cover of the sarcophagus and pushes slightly..

<Rhiannon_D> (I presume it's no longer closed, right?)

<Anna_Mihakai> How much longer ?

Rhiannon_D drops on the floor next to the sarcophagus as its cover retreats, almost like a rag doll, but with a more metallic thud.

<La_ST> (Sorry, have 5 windows to type in atm)

<Rhiannon_D> (heh, it's ok ^^)

<La_ST> (I need to sort out the stuff properly)

<Lady_Samantha> I ask serially, in each language "who are you?"

<Nathan_Raiser> i'm not sure...

Rhiannon_D tries to get up and balance herself, suceeding in the task in 9.347 seconds.

<Rhiannon_D> (Sam: what languages?)

<La_ST> (Okay, first one thing - I mentioned the "no-time effect running, didn't I? Thus the people in the corridor actually don't lose any time)

<Nathan_Raiser> ( Stayka just told me no time is passing in the portal... that means you and i are standign there with Bob and i'm currently having the though process that concludes that that thing is a bloodsucking monster...)

<Rev_Jones> (um, no you did not)

<Nathan_Raiser> (and no, she didn't)

<La_ST> (Sighs, I have to many windows to type in. So please no /msg if not 100% necessary -_-)

Rev_Jones comforts ST. and offers his sympathy.

<La_ST> (I think I might have mentioned it to some one via /msg)

<La_ST> (Thx)

<Anna_Mihakai> (the people outside don't do a thing ??)

<La_ST> (Rhi you can get out, sure. The temporal stuff the rev did triggered your wake-up mechanism)

<Nathan_Raiser> (yep we are stopped in time)

Rhiannon_D starts talking, looking from one member of the group to the other, and using some weird language (Mayan)

<La_ST> (Sam? What languages *do* you try?)

La_ST frowns

Dr_Miller frowns

<Dr_Miller> I think I understand a little - but I never heard that spoken0!

Rev_Jones repeats the Lord's Prayer, this time in Hebrew :o

<Lady_Samantha> galicv (welsh, then irish), english, latin ,greek, ...

<Lady_Samantha> thats gaelic

Dr_Miller answers in onl<y barely intelligible "Mayan" Hello

Rhiannon_D almost immediately switches to another language (Egyptian)

Rhiannon_D stops for a few moments upon hearing greek, then replies to Sam

Dr_Miller studied Mayan languages, but of course the active speakers of the old variety have been dead for some hundred years...

<Lady_Samantha> in Egyptian ...

Rev_Jones tries a different variant of hebrew ;)

<Lady_Samantha> I am Samantha and you are?

Rhiannon_D seems to be talking a different variant of greek than Sam, but similar enough to be understandable

<Rhiannon_D> Rhiannon D'Nirek

<Lady_Samantha> (ok - protcol'd on greek then)

<Dr_Miller> This is utterly amazing!!

Rev_Jones can understand the odd word or two, that's it.

<Rhiannon_D> <What is the current time?>

<Lady_Samantha> (goive her the date and time as we know it)

Rhiannon_D looks at Dr. Miller for a second, her expression almost puzzled.

Dr_Miller also understand ancient Greek as archaeologists are better of learning at least some old language

Rev_Jones thinks . o 0 ( hardly angelic if it cannot understand Hebrew... ).

<La_ST> (LOL)

<Lady_Samantha> Are you ok ... do you need help?

<Dr_Miller> THis is so amazing! I never thought I'd ever hear that *spoken*. I just know it from my text books and old scriptures

<Rev_Jones> Well, I understand the Greeks still speak Greek.

Lady_Samantha nods, obviously she is from a long time ago

<Dr_Miller> WEll, the pronunciation differs somewhat

Rev_Jones scratches his head.

<Dr_Miller> I wonder if she can speak old Latin, too. There are so many discussions about the proper pronunciation

<Rhiannon_D> <Corrections to internal clock applied. Equipment efficiency at 65% percent, Power reserves at 40%, Initializing social protocols... completed.>

<Lady_Samantha> how did you come to be here, in this other "time"?

<Dr_Miller> Huh?!

<Rhiannon_D> <Yes, I require your assistance...>

<Lady_Samantha> how can we help you?

Dr_Miller didn't understand the words she used, even though they sounded Greek, too

Bob_Grant arrives with the others now

<Bob_Grant> What...?

<Rhiannon_D> <Temporal stasis was required for repair and maintenance work, as well as protection from further damage due to natural entropic decay>

<Rev_Jones> It's all Greek to me...

Bob_Grant looks in fascination at the angel with the metal wings

<Lady_Samantha> I see... you appear to still need some repairs though

<Rhiannon_D> <I need energy to operate within my normal parameters>

<Rhiannon_D> <Yes, several subsystems seem to be defunct, or totally missing.>

<Lady_Samantha> what is your source of energy?

<Nathan_Raiser> (blood, human, large quantitiees... why?)

<La_ST> (LOL)

<Lady_Samantha> (Rhi?)

<La_ST> (Must be another of those defunct subsystems...)

<Nathan_Raiser> (if possible from Virgins or young children)

<Lady_Samantha> (giggle)

<Nathan_Raiser> (what, is that wrong?)

<Rev_Jones> (voice subsystem seems to be malfunctioning)

<Lady_Samantha> hmmm

<Rhiannon_D> <Ambient siphoning function is disabled due to hardware failure. I can draw energy from crystalized primal energy, or from theta brain-wave emissions.>

<Nathan_Raiser> (oh yes and i eat fresh brains as desert!)

<Rev_Jones> (now translate that from the Greek)

<Lady_Samantha> (would a buzz (prime2) give her some prime?)

<La_ST> (Sam Very likely so, yes)

<Rhiannon_D> <Your colleagues seem to be unable to communicate with me.. what is the language they use?>

<La_ST> (Quint, btw)

<Dr_Miller> (haltingly in Olde Greek) Well, ... I never... had... to speak... this..

<Nathan_Raiser> (... so it drinks blood AND eats brains... will wonders ever cease?)

<Lady_Samantha> I extand my staff

<Lady_Samantha> (I'm going to channel quint to her with a Buzz effect)

Rhiannon_D smiles kindly at Dr. Miller, but cowers when she sees a raised staff.

Rhiannon_D takes a few steps back, switching to a defensive martial arts stance

<Nathan_Raiser> (samantha... from WHAT ?)

<Lady_Samantha> Noi - I do not mean you harm

<Lady_Samantha> I wanted to see if I could help you

Rhiannon_D looks uncertainly at Samantha, before resuming her normal stance.

<Lady_Samantha> I adjust my staff-lights prime modulator to discharge to its tip

<Lady_Samantha> just a moment

Rev_Jones starts to wander around the room, poking at whatever devices or pictures peak his interest.

<Lady_Samantha> (ok here goes - 1WP)

Lady_Samantha rolled 3d10 dice and got: 8, 6, 6

<Nathan_Raiser> (MAGIC! AAAAGH! Shooot, shoot!)

<Rhiannon_D> <My apologies. Weapons similar to yours have been used against me in the past.>

<Rev_Jones> (worse... we've just powered up a prehistoric HIT mark.)

<La_ST> (*g*)

<Rhiannon_D> (hey, I'm nicer ;-P)

<Lady_Samantha> (any effect?)

Dr_Miller just watches in utter fascination

<La_ST> (Sure ^_^)

<La_ST> (Rhi, you did get some Quint channeled into you)

<Lady_Samantha> did that help ?

<Nathan_Raiser> (We come in peace, Shoot to kill, shot to kill!)

Rhiannon_D closes her eyes and looks satisfied for a moment, before opening them again

<Rhiannon_D> (how many points?)

<La_ST> (Why do I have this "I want *more*" impression...?)

<La_ST> (Lessee)

La_ST rolled 1d10 dice and got: 8

<La_ST> (8 ^_^)

<Rhiannon_D> (had 4 at the beginning...)

<Lady_Samantha> (so her name should be AudryII?

Nick change: Rev_Jones -> Seymour

<Rhiannon_D> <Yes, it has, primal energy now at 120% percent. Thank you.)

Lady_Samantha giggles

Seymour sings " I've given you quintessence, I've given you prime, seems you won't do nothing lest I open a vein...."

Dr_Miller inspects the "sarcophagus"

Nick change: Seymour -> Rev_Jones

<Rev_Jones> (apologies for the interlude)

Rhiannon_D looks at Samantha, then laughs too, her laugh reminiscent of Samantha's.

<Dr_Miller> Reverend, can you do a check how old this is?

<Rev_Jones> I can have a go.

Rhiannon_D turns to Dr. Miller as she speaks in that incomprehensible language again.

Rev_Jones quickly glances at the no-angel in case she objects to the planting of the black thingummies around her sarcophagus.

<Lady_Samantha> hmmm == You appear to still need repairs tho....

<Dr_Miller> That would be very interesting... After all, it seems to have lost this stasis effect now

<Lady_Samantha> I'm guessing your wings are not supposed to be bare like that?

<Lady_Samantha> which langange>

<Lady_Samantha> ?

Rhiannon_D seems almost genuinely sad for a moment as her wings are mentioned.

<Rhiannon_D> (english)

<Lady_Samantha> english is incompreshensible... (well it is, but)

<Dr_Miller> (yup Rev is from WAles, and I don't speak Gaelic - so English it is)

Rev_Jones rolled 3d10 dice and got: 8, 6, 8

<Rev_Jones> Yes, I am getting a very clear reading now.

<La_ST> (Okay. You get a weird reading. It says the sarcophagus is both 12000 years old and it is absolutely new

<Lady_Samantha> but Doc are you speaking in Welsh? English?

<La_ST> (English)

<Rhiannon_D> <my wings module has been damaged beyond my self-repair capabilities, I'm afraid. Other than that, I can operate fully as it is, although additional modules are more than welcome.>

<Nathan_Raiser> (DIE , DIE , DIE Filthy Alien pig!)

<Rev_Jones> (English... /me can't speak welsh.)

<Lady_Samantha> For whom did you work?

<Lady_Samantha> (thats understandable its a mouthfull ;))

<Dr_Miller> shouldn't we return to the others? I'm sure they have to be worries by now!

<Dr_Miller> We have been at least 15 minutes here now

<Rev_Jones> This thing is some 12000 years old - that would place it 8000 years before homer, 4000 years before the Great Flood.

<Lady_Samantha> For whom did you work?

<Rhiannon_D> <I've been constructed with built-in emissary functions, with human specialization. Further information on the Creators is not available.>

<Rev_Jones> The reading that indicates that it is new is clearly some blip relating to the temporal distortion.

<Lady_Samantha> you are an emmisary?

<Rev_Jones> Furthermore, I am getting some strange feeling that someone wants to kill this ... thing.

<Nathan_Raiser> (the assasination and killing of people functions are currently offline, right ?)

<Nathan_Raiser> (and we are all "fleshbags" right ?)

<Rhiannon_D> (depends on who's standing next to me, organic meatbag :-PPP)

<Anna_Mihakai> (stop playing KOTOR)

<Lady_Samantha> Rhi = perhaps we could work on your repairs

<Lady_Samantha> I'm a doctor/healer....

<Rhiannon_D> <It is possible. Your technology seems to have evolved in the past millenia.>

<Anna_Mihakai> (repairing an alien machine that does not know it's purpose.. are you completely out of your mind)

<Rev_Jones> Doctor, I would agree, but as you can see Bob is here so everything must be fine.

<Rev_Jones> (Anna - I thought that was taken)

<Lady_Samantha> Bob - what are the other doing?

<Nathan_Raiser> (let's kill them all! it's better for us!)

<Nathan_Raiser> (i'll give you a part of the cahs... you just help me find the scrapped transformer :))

<Rhiannon_D> <Prolonged temporal stasis is a possible cause of the damage in my modules.>

<Lady_Samantha> are you aware of any other technology in this "temple"?

<Rhiannon_D> <Logs indicate that my time warp has exceeded estimates by 9-10K years.>

<Lady_Samantha> So what are you going to do now?

Rev_Jones starts doing geophysics surveys on the room.

<Bob_Grant> Well, we have to get back to them NOW

Lady_Samantha retracts her staff and replaces it in my carrier.

<Bob_Grant> Something is strange here - Mr.Raiser say they wanted to blow up everything and actually this should have been 10 min ago but there wasn't anything...

<Rhiannon_D> <Yes, there are other artifacts within the temple. It was initially constructed after my arrival here. Parts of the crashed craft have been used, both as part of the building and as worship symbols)

<Lady_Samantha> I'm guessing the time wraps is the cause of that

<Lady_Samantha> perhaps you could show us where things were.... when we're done here, we can go to a place to work on finishing your repairs?

<Lady_Samantha> Ok -- how about we return then?

<Rhiannon_D> <I am unaware of the exact location of said artifacts. It has been long that they were not under my supervision, and my ranged sensors module is not operating.>

<Rev_Jones> I am not done here yet...

<Lady_Samantha> is there stasis chamber movable?

<Rhiannon_D> <But I still can discern any technology that I come in visual contact with>

<Anna_Mihakai> (Sam are you really stupid or do you just pretend to be so ?)

<Anna_Mihakai> (Didn't you watch any movies *G*)

<Rev_Jones> (well, the ST hasn't ...)

<Anna_Mihakai> (Virus, Screamers, Terminator, and some other things come to mind)

Rev_Jones rolled 3d10 dice and got: 5, 10, 3

<Rhiannon_D> (hey, not Virus... I'm offended.)

<Rev_Jones> (hmm... not bad; that will do me for scanning the area)

<Lady_Samantha> is there stasis chamber movable?

Rev_Jones puts away his equipment and turns to Sam.

<Rhiannon_D> <No, the stasis chamber is immobile, as a security precaution>

<Rev_Jones> Are we ready to go then?

<Lady_Samantha> hmmm

<Lady_Samantha> do you know how to construct it?

<Rev_Jones> (Rhiannon - does your voice sound mechanical?)

<Rhiannon_D> (No, not at all..)

Rhiannon_D smiles

<Rhiannon_D> <No, I'm afraid not. Construction is not my purpose...>

<Lady_Samantha> do you have a way to contact the Creators?

<Anna_Mihakai> (Eradication of Humanity is her purpose though *G*)

<Lady_Samantha> (think happy thoughts)

<Rhiannon_D> <Not as it is. I am uncertain whether that would be possible by salvaging the rest of the technology in the temple however.>

<Lady_Samantha> I guess we should try to find what reamins and see whats there?

<Rhiannon_D> <Perhaps, yes. One question. How is your command of the language your comrades are using?>

<Lady_Samantha> (english?)

Rhiannon_D nods

<Lady_Samantha> good as well... I'm something of a linguist

<Lady_Samantha> (I did catch her use of Egpytian earlier too)

<Rhiannon_D> (ST: can I use a mind effect, neural scan as focus, along with an Int+Ling roll to gain a grasp of english?)

<La_ST> (Rhi: Hm. I think that should be possible. For basic eNglish wioth basic grammar at leasdt)

<Rhiannon_D> Sam:<Would it be possible for you to transfer some of your knowledge of english to me?>

<Lady_Samantha> how would you that?

<Rhiannon_D> <I can attempt a neural link and upload to my memory bank from your mind>

<Rhiannon_D> <My built-in linguistics and decyphering algorithms should allow me basic usage after processing the withdrawed info>

Anna_Mihakai still stands frozen in mid-thought

<Rhiannon_D> (heh, won't take long, promise)

<Anna_Mihakai> (Dig in your mind and rip out your thoughts.. nice idea *G*)

<Rhiannon_D> (man, you start to sound like Marv :-P)

<Lady_Samantha> hmmm - what can you offer me, in return?

<Lady_Samantha> (thinking some other language skill?)

<Rhiannon_D> <Offer? I do not believe your mind is capable of processing so much info in such short time... I could of course offer my help as a translator to your group. I can read most any of the murals in this temple, plus I can locate technology stemming from the same origins as me.>

<Rhiannon_D> <I can always try to transmit my language knowledge, but te volume of information might prove dangerous for your mind to absorb, nevertheless handle.

<La_ST> (BTw, suggestions - slowly return upstairs to the rest - PaF needs to go to sleep soon)

<Lady_Samantha> nods ... when we return home, would you come back with us? Perhaps we can finish your repairs there

<Rhiannon_D> <I believe that can be done. Am I allowed to retrieve said information?>

<Lady_Samantha> (ok - lets return to the gorup than)

<Lady_Samantha> yes

Rhiannon_D puts her palms on Sam's temple, then locks eyes with her.

Rhiannon_D rolled 3d10 dice and got: 6, 10, 10

<Rhiannon_D> (Wooohooo!!!)

<Lady_Samantha> (nice)

<La_ST> nice roll)

<Anna_Mihakai> (should have been a botch though)

<Rhiannon_D> (and now for the Ling+int0

<Rhiannon_D> (*snicker*

Rhiannon_D rolled 8d10 dice and got: 3, 10, 3, 3, 10, 6, 4, 6

<Rhiannon_D> (10s count as 1 sux?)

<Lady_Samantha> (I guess ST-L is catching up from all those 1's the last time ;))

<Lady_Samantha> (2 I thought)

<La_ST> (Well, you made it with a nice margin)

<La_ST> (I think 10s are always 'special sux')

<Rhiannon_D> (Analytical is my Int specialty though... breaking down a language should be that, no?)

<La_ST> (If you have them it looks nicer than with n o 10

<Rhiannon_D> (so, I presume I have an average-above average command of english now?)

<La_ST> (Rhi: Yup)

<La_ST> (Rhi after all, we don't want to make it too hard on the rest, and you can now understand Anna#s snide remarks now)

<Anna_Mihakai> (out of character Snides)

Rhiannon_D 's eyes flicker, turning a darker shade of yellow for a few moments, and sh then withdraws her hands and smiles widely.

<Rhiannon_D> Thank you Samantha.

<La_ST> (Anna: I expect IC snides, too, in due time *g*)

Lady_Samantha smiles to Rhi

<Anna_Mihakai> (Promised *G*)

<La_ST> (Hehe)

Rev_Jones looks up from his readings.

<Rev_Jones> You can speak English now?

<Nathan_Raiser> (stayka... wait till we see that thing... we currently think it's a blood god)

<La_ST> (Uh-oh)

<Rhiannon_D> (btw, with eidetic memory, I also happen to know most of your memories as well now Sam ^^)

<La_ST> (Memory thief!)

<Anna_Mihakai> (You see...)

<Rhiannon_D> Yes, I think I'm getting a good grasp of it, Reverend.

<Nathan_Raiser> (AAAGH BRAIN EATER!!!!)

<Nathan_Raiser> (KILL KILL KILL KILL!)

<Rev_Jones> *In a very very broad accent from the Welsh Valleys* And how did it know who we were?

<La_ST> (Maybe Rhi can share some memories with Anna now)

<Anna_Mihakai> (stuffs here with plastic and blows her to kingdom come)

<Rhiannon_D> (and still cuter than those pesky Mind Flayers

;-)*

<La_ST> (Ok. Let's return to the others ^_^)

<Lady_Samantha> *In welsh: to Rev: it didn't until we talked to it

<Rhiannon_D> A side-effect from my learning process. I seem to remember some of the doctor's experiences.

<Anna_Mihakai> (we stand there frozen in time *STILL)

<Nathan_Raiser> (i see Anna and i will get along famosuly... and besides Nate did develop a taste in asian women in Vietnam... me whistles inconspicously :))

<La_ST> (That's why the rest finally should return!!)

<Rhiannon_D> I should mention that your comrades will remain frozen in time, as it is, compared to us.

<Rev_Jones> *still in strong accent* I can't understand you girly.

<Rhiannon_D> The rest of them, at least. I would really like to meet them as well.

<Dr_Miller> Well, we should return to them nonetheless

<Lady_Samantha> in Eng: oh - just talking to you in gaelic... I thoiught you knew it ;)

<Rhiannon_D> (can I roll int+Ling to pick up the accent???)

<Rhiannon_D> (fake it even...)

<Rev_Jones> Is English not good enough for you, girly?

<Lady_Samantha> *&sigh*

<La_ST> (Rhi: You can emulate it - no roll needed)

<La_ST> (Rhi: Accents are pretty regular after all)

Rhiannon_D replies, in the same accent

<Rev_Jones> (ST: if you have ever heard a welshman from the valleys you would know that accents are not pretty regular...)

<Rhiannon_D> ACtually, english seems to be fine, specially since it appaears to be more prevalent than even Greek.

<Lady_Samantha> I guess we should return

<Rhiannon_D> Yes, indeed.

<Rev_Jones> Agreed.

Rhiannon_D drops the accent, and smiles charmingly to the Reverend

Lady_Samantha takes Rhi's hand and walks to the portal

Rev_Jones smiles back.

Rhiannon_D follows Sam through the portal

<La_ST> (Rev: Well, Accents within one region *are*. They can differen some km farther apart, though)

Rev_Jones follows moments later.

Rhiannon_D starts her internal clock the nanosecond she steps out of the stasis portal

Dr_Miller also walks through the gate, Bob, too

<Anna_Mihakai> I'm not giving you the deton...

<Anna_Mihakai> What the.....

<Lady_Samantha> *blink* we're back :)

<Rev_Jones> And they haven't blown us up yet.

<Dr_Miller> Fortunately

<Dr_Miller> Hello Mr.Raiser, Ms Anna

<Dr_Miller> We found indeed something truly interesting down there...

Lady_Samantha introduces Rhi to the rest

Rhiannon_D smiles to them, making a step forard and extending her arm

Anna_Mihakai steps back

<Rev_Jones> I think this is a perfect time to go back outside and have another glass of whisky...

Nathan_Raiser grts hi gun up

<Nathan_Raiser> Freeze!

<Nathan_Raiser> Move away from that thing!

Dr_Miller looks shocked at Nathan

<Dr_Miller> What...?

<Anna_Mihakai> HIT mark ??

<Nathan_Raiser> That's a fucking bloodguzzling Mayan demon!

Rhiannon_D looks puzzled at her, then almost embarassed for a moment, she looks down, parts of her wings mechanism whirring and clacking.

<Rev_Jones> Actually, prehistorical demon.

<La_ST> (Rev: Good plan. Good night!)

<Nathan_Raiser> I don't fucking care reverend!

<Nathan_Raiser> this thing was fed blood for a better part of 3000 years!

<Rev_Jones> Well 9000 years makes quite a difference.

Rhiannon_D looks at Nathan and the Rev.

<Nathan_Raiser> And that's supposed to be a good thing!?

<Rev_Jones> Well, it raises some interesting questions.

<Nathan_Raiser> move away from that thing... we cannot know what its agenda is...

<Nathan_Raiser> and we fuckign released it!

Rhiannon_D looks disgustedly at Nathan:

Lady_Samantha looks confused

<Rhiannon_D> I have not consumed blood.

<Nathan_Raiser> Oh you bathed in it, you sick monster?

<Lady_Samantha> she's an emessary for what she calls the "Creators"

<Dr_Miller> Hm... From what I saw the blood was led into some strange contraption that was somehow affixed to the sarcophagus we found her in

<Rev_Jones> (ok... I'll check on the damage next month. Seeya)

<Dr_Miller> It didn't look as if she were fed the blood herself, if you ask me

<Rhiannon_D> Blood sacrifice, not lethal, has been part of the ceremony devised by the original creators of the temple as a means of worship

<Nathan_Raiser> That doc, is just a fancy way to say it was drinking blood these sick mayan fucks were feeding it !

<Dr_Miller> I really have to get down again ands examine this ...sarcophagus thing

<Nathan_Raiser> Bullshit

<Rhiannon_D> I had to work long to adapt the stasis chamber to convert *this* to Primal Energy for sustenance of the field..

<Nathan_Raiser> then tell me why we found crusted inteestines and similar bits out of people sacrificed on this throne...

<Nathan_Raiser> (altar)

<Anna_Mihakai> (okay, why do I in character feel the urge to blow us all to little tiny bits)

<Nathan_Raiser> Move away from it!

<Dr_Miller> Well, I'm not sure. I have to examine this more thoroughly

<Nathan_Raiser> (because we unleashed a demon and these idiots are defending it?)

<Anna_Mihakai> (yep)

<Rhiannon_D> I have been in stasis for a good few thousand years. I have absolutely no clue regarding what this temple was used for during that period, Mr. Raiser.

<Nathan_Raiser> AND HOW The HEll do you know my name!?

<Lady_Samantha> pardon, its not a demon

<Lady_Samantha> she's an andriod of some sort

<Dr_Miller> I mentioned you name just when I stepped through that gate, I think

<Nathan_Raiser> is this woman who fell from the sky and me the onyl two peoplw that are seeing this as what it is?

<Nathan_Raiser> they were feeding it blood!

<Rhiannon_D> Neural throughput trasmission by means of advanced theta wave scanning and decyphering. Not that you would understand what that is, since it doesn't have gears or is shootable.

<Dr_Miller> Well, I see her as a chance to learn about a lot of things out of history

<Lady_Samantha> she's mechanical and needs further repairs

<Rhiannon_D> (does Nathan have any alien tech visibly on him???)

<Dr_Miller> Imagine, she actually *speaks* a lot of dead languages

<Nathan_Raiser> that means whoever created this fuckin terminator told the peoples to sacrificeeach other to keep it running!?

Anna_Mihakai is affraid and steps behind Nathaniel

<Rhiannon_D> No.

<Rhiannon_D> Noone has told the people here to do what they did, since noone accompanied me on my journey.

<Nathan_Raiser> and how the hell did they know to feed you blood?

<Dr_Miller> Hm. Maybe they could have fed her anything else?

<Dr_Miller> They might have used blood because it was en vogue at that time?

<Rhiannon_D> I pretty much crashed here after a time-storm.

Nathan_Raiser moves a bit so that he covers Anna and is a bit confused on why did he actually do that... he quickly rationalises that with a Bloodguzzling demon the mystery woman is of no consequence...

<Rhiannon_D> They fed blood to wooden totemws before I came.

<Nathan_Raiser> As far as i know the old Animist used their priests bloods

<Rhiannon_D> They weren't willing to comprehend the notion of bloodless sacrifice, and thsi is where I've ended...

Rhiannon_D points at her wings.

<Nathan_Raiser> they didn't scarficae whole villages to their sick and twisted Gods!

<Dr_Miller> as far as I understood she is an alien who stranded here

Anna_Mihakai is sunk in thought.

<Anna_Mihakai> (and affraid)

<Lady_Samantha> yup -0- thats her situation

<Nathan_Raiser> So what... in Vietnam we saw a a demon who flew aroudn as a head with its guts trailing from the head!

<Lady_Samantha> she did offer to help us locate whatever tech is still here though

<Rhiannon_D> Had they been reasonable enough to understand my pleas for crystalized prime, and not stick to their bloody traditions, I would have been much better off.

<Nathan_Raiser> and a man who turned into a tiger!

<Nathan_Raiser> and proceeded to ip apart a whoel company!

<Nathan_Raiser> as if i should believe soemthing is not here to start a new blood cult...

<Rhiannon_D> I do not have any need for a blood cult, Nathaniel. All I want is to get back home.

<La_ST> (phone home?)

<Lady_Samantha> (yup)

<Nathan_Raiser> ... and exactly how many people do you need to get blood out to do that?

<Rhiannon_D> Believe me, I probably want to go back even more than you are willing to send me away.

Rhiannon_D sighs.

<Lady_Samantha> She needs primal force not blood?

<Dr_Miller> Mr.Raiser, you do seem to have a blood fetish yourself

<Anna_Mihakai> IT'S NOT GOING TO GET ME.

<Rhiannon_D> Sam: Apparently, that is incomprehensible to some

<Rhiannon_D> I am not "It", and I'm dewfinitely not willing to "get" anyone.

Bob_Grant moves towards the temple exit

<Bob_Grant> DSon't look at me, I'm nobody...

<Anna_Mihakai> (I'm the one holding the detonator for enough Plastic to blow up this entire temple to Kingdome Come)

<Nathan_Raiser> (actually you did rig it correctly so that it blows apat the portal, right?)

<Nathan_Raiser> (RIGHT ?)

<Rhiannon_D> (heheheh)

<La_ST> (Uh-oh...)

<Anna_Mihakai> (well not yet.. I put it at the entrance.. not at the portal)

<Lady_Samantha> that would be unwise.... we should be findiong what we can and getting outta here

<Rhiannon_D> Anna, if that even is your real name, I suggest you put that down and calm down.

<Nathan_Raiser> Actually i suggest you shut up

<Nathan_Raiser> and stop ordering people around...

<Rhiannon_D> Same with you, Nathaniel. I do not know what your weapons are capable of, but I know a violent stance when I see one.

<Nathan_Raiser> that is quite clearly not the palce you are even supposed to be ...

<Rhiannon_D> I am not ordering. Just suggesting.

<Rhiannon_D> The ones holding weapons and making threats seem to issue orders.

<Nathan_Raiser> Well worst case scenario i'll bring this temple on top of all of us and then have it bombed into the ground

<Dr_Miller> Don't you dare!

Rhiannon_D looks almost angrily at Nathan...

<Anna_Mihakai> (okay, you have an affraid person, who is holding a detonator....... nobody going to do something about it ?)

<Dr_Miller> You would destroy a wealth of Scientific treasures!

<Nathan_Raiser> Anna

Rhiannon_D takes a few steps forward towards Anna, ignoring Nathan

<Lady_Samantha> (thats apparently prove that "aliens" were / are here

Nathan_Raiser places the gun at its face

<Nathan_Raiser> not... a... step... more

<Anna_Mihakai> (that's a real bad move.....)

<Nathan_Raiser> Anna calm down

<Nathan_Raiser> it's quite tame for a bloodthirsty God...

<Rhiannon_D> Anna, please, give this to someone else. And then your friend can attack me if he wishes.

<Nathan_Raiser> actually no

<Nathan_Raiser> she can keep it cool

<Nathan_Raiser> you can keep away

<Nathan_Raiser> while we talk about this

Dr_Miller looks a bit panicky at the detonator. She never had to deal with suicidal maniacs intent to blow themselves up plus all around them before

Nathan_Raiser presses a button...

<Anna_Mihakai> (She's still alive, which means I'm not suicidal.....)

<Lady_Samantha> I go to Doc Miller to look after her

<Nathan_Raiser> Skywarp if i die i wnat you to bring this place down into Earth...

<Nathan_Raiser> not a pebble is to be left standing...

<Skywarp> *understood*

Nathan_Raiser puts the gun down

<Nathan_Raiser> Anna... disarm the explosives...

Rhiannon_D finally smiles

<Nathan_Raiser> we have a air strike at our disposal

<Nathan_Raiser> you better wipe that smirk of your face...

Anna_Mihakai isn't in a state to follow that order at the moment..

<Lady_Samantha> Doc are you ok?

<Nathan_Raiser> anna

<Rhiannon_D> Good to see sense in you. Even with a dangerous, paranoid twist to it.

<Nathan_Raiser> i need you to compose yourself

<Nathan_Raiser> your handy with the explosives

<Nathan_Raiser> i want you to disarm the big one

<Nathan_Raiser> please

Nathan_Raiser takes out a big pild of C4 and a shape plate...

<Anna_Mihakai> IT WILL NOT GET ME.

<Nathan_Raiser> i want you to make a shaped charge out of this...

<Nathan_Raiser> it won't

Dr_Miller swallows hard

<Nathan_Raiser> i have an ideal solution

<Dr_Miller> Not really...

<Nathan_Raiser> just relax

<Rhiannon_D> (*snicker*)

<Rhiannon_D> (*BOOOOOM*)

<Nathan_Raiser> Anna!

<Nathan_Raiser> make me that shaped charge...

<Nathan_Raiser> please

Anna_Mihakai takes the C4 and the plate.

<Lady_Samantha> I'm going to care for Doc Miller

<Nathan_Raiser> i wnat you to leave a place for a 2nd remote detonator

<Nathan_Raiser> and rig this one with a priamry remote

Lady_Samantha takes out her tri-corder and scans dr miller

Dr_Miller is very upset, and her blood pressure is pretty off

<Lady_Samantha> (life/prime/forces/matter/corr1+2)

<Dr_Miller> (no need to rioll)

<Lady_Samantha> OK

<Rhiannon_D> Dr. Miller, you don't look well...

Anna_Mihakai doesn't disarm the charge at the door, but does start working on the explosive Nathan wants her to make..

Lady_Samantha treats the doc ...

<Dr_Miller> I don't really *feel* well either

Dr_Miller looks as if you would very much like to faint

Rhiannon_D looks apologetically to her.

Lady_Samantha sitts her down and takes out her hypospray

Dr_Miller looks to SAm

<Dr_Miller> Thanks... But you do not need to make such a fuzz about me

<Anna_Mihakai> Nathan, what should it blow up ?

Nathan_Raiser is standing in front of Anna and looking at Rhiannon suspciosly

<Nathan_Raiser> i nod my head at Rhiannon

<Rhiannon_D> I am afraid I cannot help with medical treatment..

<Lady_Samantha> finding a place to administer it, she gives her a shot (life3/prime2)

<Lady_Samantha> (roll?)

<La_ST> (For that, yes *g*)

Lady_Samantha rolled 3d10 dice and got: 7, 7, 4

<Lady_Samantha> 2 sux

<La_ST> (Fine)

Dr_Miller calms down visibly

Dr_Miller even gets some colour back in her cheeks

<Lady_Samantha> Rhi, I'm a medical doctor. I do healing for humans.

Rhiannon_D smiles comfortingly to Miller, then nods at Sam.

<Dr_Miller> Thank you

Dr_Miller smiles

<Lady_Samantha> your welcome

Anna_Mihakai guesses how much she would need to blow up the Thing, then doubles the ammount she guesses to be sure.

<Lady_Samantha> (wishes she could give a shot to the two hotheads there)

Rhiannon_D looks at the hypodermic curiously

<Rhiannon_D> can I have a look at that?

<Lady_Samantha> hypospray -- no needle

<Rhiannon_D> (whoops)

<Nathan_Raiser> Anna... is it done?

<Lady_Samantha> you can see a setup modeled on the ST:TOS med kit

Anna_Mihakai then rigs pastes the Plastic all around the remote detonator and puts in a second detonator at a more visible place.

<Anna_Mihakai> Done.

<Nathan_Raiser> the spot for an additional detonator ?

<Lady_Samantha> *sigh*

<Anna_Mihakai> already inserted, just not connected..

<Nathan_Raiser> Thanks...

Nathan_Raiser takes it and checks

<Nathan_Raiser> Nice work...

<Nathan_Raiser> Okay mr. I'm not a Bloodguzzling demon though i was fed blood for a LONG time

<Nathan_Raiser> you can see that we have a bit of a connondrum over faith in your actions...

<Anna_Mihakai> I doubled the dose it would take to blow a human to bits.. just to be on the safe side..

<La_ST> (Why is it that you always outfit all android you find with bombs? No heart for mechanical life forms, eh?)

<Nathan_Raiser> are you willing to let us strap this to your chest?

<Nathan_Raiser> (hey if he was a vampire ala VtM i would have done the same... heck i woudl have done to same to anythign that came out!)

<La_ST> (*g* But it always hit the androids so far)

<Nathan_Raiser> So... are you willing to accept this?

<Nathan_Raiser> Or do we have to go and head over some faith issues again

<Lady_Samantha> (/me *sighs*)

<Rhiannon_D> ACtually, you are the only ones with a conundrum. And you can strap it to my back, next to the base of my wings, if it makes you feel safer. But I'd rather you cancelled that airstrike after you did this. It's one thing to destroy me for no good reason, and another to kill the rest of the team at the same time, if anything happens to you.

<Nathan_Raiser> And you even understand what an airstrike is...

<Nathan_Raiser> good bloodthirsty demon...

<Nathan_Raiser> Anna...

<Lady_Samantha> She's a andriod not a demon

<Nathan_Raiser> i'm gonna rig him up with this... when i put it... i want you to disable the explosives in this room

<Anna_Mihakai> Nathan ?? (carefully)

<Rhiannon_D> well, your description of "not a pebble to be left standing" was quite adequate.

<Lady_Samantha> him is a her

Nathan_Raiser takes two black starps from his leg and disconnects the pueches from them

Nathan_Raiser palces it to the rig

Nathan_Raiser walks towards Rhiannon casualy... not even flinching and comes up to him....

<Rhiannon_D> My understanding of airstrikes is a purely academic, as is mostly everything involving current technology Mr. Raiser.

<Rhiannon_D> (and yeah, it's a her)

Nathan_Raiser proceeds to tie up the charge right above her chest clasping it so that it's strapped safely at the back

Nathan_Raiser moves away...

<Nathan_Raiser> you tamper with it... it goes off

Rhiannon_D sighs

<Nathan_Raiser> you attack one of us... it goes off

<Nathan_Raiser> and trust me... you will feel that...

<Nathan_Raiser> Anna... please deactivate the big one...

Rhiannon_D thinks that her nanotech interface should be able to handle the detonators, but would rather not risk it so close to a time portal.

<Nathan_Raiser> Skywarp... ignore the last command about the temple... i want you to take the new subject that has joined us in the chamber marked as BTC and if he moves against any of us i want you to squish him like a bug

Anna_Mihakai removes the detonator from the chunk of Plastic she fixed to the entrance.

Nathan_Raiser takes out a small plate from his pocket

<Nathan_Raiser> and this

<Nathan_Raiser> is just in case you try to get smart

Anna_Mihakai puts the plastic back in her backpack.

Nathan_Raiser inserts it carefully into the detonator...

<Lady_Samantha> (he is a Her)

<Nathan_Raiser> (Prime trigger... magic used = Boom :))

<Nathan_Raiser> (it is moot... it's a machine for starters

:))

<Lady_Samantha> She prefers to be adressed as she/her

Nathan_Raiser moves away...

<Rhiannon_D> (Hey, I'm not going to a trash compactor)

<Nathan_Raiser> now we can talk...

<Nathan_Raiser> (hey i'm not gonna blow you up unless you do something stupid :))

<Nathan_Raiser> Anna... you can keep the detonator you have...

<Lady_Samantha> OK - can we discuss your problem with her?

<Anna_Mihakai> (I might. I did remember the frequency for the detonator I dug into the plastic)

<Nathan_Raiser> i'll use the disk i put in as a trigger if required,,,

<Nathan_Raiser> there is no problem now

<Nathan_Raiser> now let's get the hel out of this hellhole before i start tcounting how many died in this place...

<Lady_Samantha> She offered to help us translate the messages and look for any remaining tech from her ship

<Nathan_Raiser> Goood

<Nathan_Raiser> as long as that thing doesn't go Bloodthirsty godling wannabe i'm cool with it...

<Anna_Mihakai> How long as the thing been here ?

Rhiannon_D smiles.

<Nathan_Raiser> i am still not kosher about it feeding on humans

Anna_Mihakai still stays at quite a distance from it.

Rhiannon_D chuckles.

<Nathan_Raiser> 9000 years... giveor take...

Nathan_Raiser moves back to Anna

<Anna_Mihakai> Then how is it possible it speaks English.

<Lady_Samantha> I thought she said more like 12k years

<Rhiannon_D> I picked it up from Samantha, after she gave me permission...

<Anna_Mihakai> How ?

<Nathan_Raiser> i think it's almost on a new age cybertech level

<Rhiannon_D> I scanned her memory centres for appropriate information.

<Nathan_Raiser> ah yes... that's the bit about brain eating we read

<Anna_Mihakai> what ??

<Nathan_Raiser> charming

<Rhiannon_D> No, it did not include any devouring of gray matter, Mr Raiser.

<Rhiannon_D> just like my Prime reactor does not operate on blood.

<Nathan_Raiser> ah so you can suck out memories...

<Nathan_Raiser> how cute

<Nathan_Raiser> makes me like you even more

<Rhiannon_D> No, again.

Nathan_Raiser makes a face as if he is going to kill you

<Lady_Samantha> Nate: please hear me

Anna_Mihakai switched the remote on the moment she heard that.

<Rhiannon_D> My processing algorithms work almost strictly on linguistics, expression and associated tasks.

<Anna_Mihakai> (not detonated)

<Nathan_Raiser> i'll just be so kind as to warn you that trying to suck anything from my head will end up with me blowing you up

<Lady_Samantha> the process was purely consentual

Rhiannon_D smiles wryly.

<Rhiannon_D> There would be no use to me in what apparently exists in your head, Mr. Raiser.

<Lady_Samantha> ST_LA (I wonder why Nate is ignoring me)

<Rhiannon_D> I'm a protocol automata, not a killer.

<Lady_Samantha> I know that

<Nathan_Raiser> (becuase you were probably programmed by that monster)

<Nathan_Raiser> (:))

<Rhiannon_D> (hey nice idea, hadn't thought of that. Not like it fits with my goals, but... ;-) )

<Nathan_Raiser> Obvisouly the item i came here to recover is not here... i found only scraps of the special steel i was looking for...

<Nathan_Raiser> i'm done here

Nathan_Raiser turns around and walks out of the temple

<Rhiannon_D> Special steel?

<Anna_Mihakai> (to the Thing) Do you remember me ?

<Rhiannon_D> Remember you?

<Rhiannon_D> Not personally.

<Rhiannon_D> I do have archives of your contact with Sam.

<Rhiannon_D> little info, of course.

<Rhiannon_D> I could help you remember, but not without risk.

<Rhiannon_D> The human mind is much more fragile than my storage banks.

<Anna_Mihakai> Sorry, if I don't go into that offer..

<Rhiannon_D> Totally acceptable and understandable.

Anna_Mihakai heads after Nathan

<Rhiannon_D> It might be better for your mind to heal naturally.

Nathan_Raiser walks to Skywarp and pats it through the camo

<Anna_Mihakai> Nathan ?

<Nathan_Raiser> Listen... is that thing familair to you in any way?

Nathan_Raiser turns around...

<Nathan_Raiser> Oh... Anna...

<Anna_Mihakai> what's that ?

<Nathan_Raiser> That's...

<Nathan_Raiser> that's my plane...

<Nathan_Raiser> i call it Skywarp

<Anna_Mihakai> VTOL ?

<Nathan_Raiser> ...sort of...

<Anna_Mihakai> Sort of ?

<Nathan_Raiser> (oh yes it's a giant robot with feelings and memories and its own intelligence... that can shift into a cool fighter... ;))

<Rhiannon_D> (btw, speaking of familiar, she called me a hitmark...)

Anna_Mihakai looks at the jungle around the plane..

<Nathan_Raiser> It fits the specification but it's...different

<Nathan_Raiser> What's a hitmark?

<Anna_Mihakai> I..remembered that..

<Nathan_Raiser> (thx for reminding me ?)

<Nathan_Raiser> You called it a Hitmark...

<Rhiannon_D> yes, not only remembered, but called me that, as well.

<Nathan_Raiser> (hey we are outside!)

<Anna_Mihakai> I was affraid of it...

<Nathan_Raiser> the blood sucking and brain sucking bits nonwitstanding

<Rhiannon_D> (I thought all of us had followed you... sorry...)

Nathan_Raiser grins sheepishly

<Anna_Mihakai> I am affraid of it... because of that memory..

Nathan_Raiser takes of his mp5 and his jacket along with most of the pouch straps and sets it ona large black crate next to the plane...

<Nathan_Raiser> Well you'll remember it through

<Nathan_Raiser> i must be honest and say that i'd realyl liek to know where you got that Airship... and where the heck di you leanr to wire explosives like that?

<Rhiannon_D> (tsk, look at the guy, bashing a robot gal to get to be liked by a techie... *sheeesh* And then they blame AC for liking Kev *g*)

<Anna_Mihakai> I don't remember.

<Nathan_Raiser> (hey i am not affiliated to anyone.. .as if i care for etiquettes like that :))

<Nathan_Raiser> what do you remember, actually

Nathan_Raiser closes one of the black crates...

<Nathan_Raiser> Here... sit down if you want...

<Anna_Mihakai> I remember waking up in the Zeppelin...

<Anna_Mihakai> and I remember the HIT mark...

Nathan_Raiser heads towards the back of the plane... ad gets a smaller black crate and opens it.. the thing is filled with ice and has room for a lot of cold drinks... oddly there's a gapping hole where the beers should be...there are onyl two left.. .as well as some cokes...

<La_ST> (SOrry folks, I sort of fell asleep for a bit - haven't slept much yesterday either... I think we should call it an end)

<Nathan_Raiser> grab something...

<Anna_Mihakai> And I don't know where I learned to wire explosives.

<Nathan_Raiser> it just came to you, huh?

<Anna_Mihakai> (water ?)

<Nathan_Raiser> you were a bit twitchy there for a second...

<Anna_Mihakai> Yes, earlier....

<Nathan_Raiser> (well not inside... but you could ask... :))

<Anna_Mihakai> (too polite for that)

Anna_Mihakai looks at the selection..

<Anna_Mihakai> No thank you.

<La_ST> (BTW, Asmo - Sam wants to know why you are ignoring her completely?)

<Nathan_Raiser> Well i hope you won't mind me grabbing something...

Nathan_Raiser grabs a coke and opens it on his knife

<Anna_Mihakai> I don't mind..

<Anna_Mihakai> When searching Merak's tent for clues..

<Nathan_Raiser> (i was ignoring her since i thought you were all under soem sort of an influence... her probing her mind didn't make me any happier :))

<Nathan_Raiser> (i was ignoring you all as a matter of fact :)9

<La_ST> (ok)

<Anna_Mihakai> I like explosives...

<Anna_Mihakai> and cigars....

<Nathan_Raiser> you think?

Nathan_Raiser grns

<Nathan_Raiser> ... now that's a peculiar habit

Anna_Mihakai presents one to Nathan (a big Cuban "swiped from Merak")

<Nathan_Raiser> i picked up on those when Sarge got a pack of havannas claiming that it's the only thing Castro's good for... he gave us one for every mission we got back from

<Nathan_Raiser> the guys that didn't come back got their cigars in their caskets...

Nathan_Raiser grabs one...

<Nathan_Raiser> thanks... don't mind if i do...

Nathan_Raiser opens his Zippo and offers her a flame...

Anna_Mihakai bites of the end and lights it on the offered flame.

<Lady_Samantha> (I'm being called for dinner... gotta go)

Nathan_Raiser cuts off the end with hid knife and lights his

<Nathan_Raiser> (cya Fuzz)

<La_ST> (Cya Fuzzy)

<Nathan_Raiser> i think they are a bit too trusting

<Anna_Mihakai> (Bye Fuzz (and we weren't ignoring you, we were ignoring Sam)

Nathan_Raiser takes a deep breath in and coughs...

<Lady_Samantha> (letting log run)

<Rhiannon_D> (bye there...)

<Anna_Mihakai> The thing has memories from the docter too..

<Nathan_Raiser> Damn i haven't been doing this in ages...

<Anna_Mihakai> So it was lying.

<Nathan_Raiser> yes

<Nathan_Raiser> i wouldn't be very... happy to have somethign in my mind...

<Nathan_Raiser> besides they are taking it too lightly...

<Nathan_Raiser> when i first...

<Nathan_Raiser> i mean if i were to meet an "alien" i'd be pretty suspicous of it...

<Anna_Mihakai> They are stupid.. at the very least they should contain it..

<Rhiannon_D> (I lied on what?)

<Nathan_Raiser> Well i find it hard to believe Miller will be letting that thign anywhere

<Anna_Mihakai> (you did suck out some of Sam's memories...)

<Nathan_Raiser> it's living proof of his theories

<Nathan_Raiser> he'll be droppoing his spit over it for years

<Rhiannon_D> (completely not willingly)

<Nathan_Raiser> (ummm and this was supposed to make us feel BETTER ?)

<Rhiannon_D> (yeah *g*)

<Anna_Mihakai> Still I think it would have been better to study it's remains..

<Rhiannon_D> (yeah, blow nanotech to even smaller bits :-PP)

<Nathan_Raiser> Well if it is true what it's saying...

<Anna_Mihakai> Do you have any water ?

<Nathan_Raiser> who knows what could be learend out of that thing

<Nathan_Raiser> Sure

<Anna_Mihakai> or even better.. some tea ?

Nathan_Raiser takes a sip of coke and leaves it

<Nathan_Raiser> Hmmm

<Nathan_Raiser> Well i could make some...

<Nathan_Raiser> if i packed tea along with me

Nathan_Raiser smiles sheepishly

<Anna_Mihakai> We could sit in the Zeppelin.... I discovered the tea there last night..

<Nathan_Raiser> No offense but i'd rather be here... if you want you can jump for tea... i can heat up the water... or walk with you there and back...

Nathan_Raiser looks at the sky

<Rhiannon_D> \9yeah, help her get the teabags Nathan :-PPP)

<Nathan_Raiser> hmmm

<Nathan_Raiser> maybe we should head to the airship

<Nathan_Raiser> the non is comign closer

<Nathan_Raiser> and it'll be hell outside...

<Nathan_Raiser> you go along i'll join you...

<Nathan_Raiser> i just need to store this stuff

Anna_Mihakai heads to the Zeppelin.

Nathan_Raiser waits for her to move away...

<Nathan_Raiser> Warp...

<Nathan_Raiser> did she have any weapons on her?

<Skywarp> *yes*

<La_ST> (Anna?)

<Nathan_Raiser> Sorry for ignoring you...

<Anna_Mihakai> (just the Plastic)

<Skywarp> *she had some explosives with here, nothing else*

<Rhiannon_D> (she lies! kill her too!!! Paranoia !!!!)

<Nathan_Raiser> aaah...

<Rhiannon_D> (oh man...)

<Nathan_Raiser> Warp that thing that appeared

<Nathan_Raiser> is ti familiar to you?

<Nathan_Raiser> i know a ot of your databanks are still messed

<Skywarp> *initiating scan*

<Anna_Mihakai> (and depending on the quality of it's scanners.. there's some neurological damage too, as well as a small burn on the outside of her skin right below the skul behind her ear)

<Nathan_Raiser> but is there some feeling of familiarity?

<La_ST> (I assume Nate has some sensors with him?)

<Nathan_Raiser> (Skywarp does)

<Skywarp> *I think I have encountered others like it before*

<Nathan_Raiser> oh?

<Anna_Mihakai> (as well as a high content of metal in her blood)

<Nathan_Raiser> any data available?

<Skywarp> *searching core memory*

<Rhiannon_D> (hmmm. burn behind the ear too. Anna is carrying more hardware inside her than even me ;-P pesky clockware knights and their DEIS ^^ )

<Nathan_Raiser> (burn and metal in blood is ADEI... not DEI

:))

<Skywarp> *there seem to be records of earlier meetings with similar "life"forms*

<Nathan_Raiser> anythign specific?

<Skywarp> *MOst of them are only partially readable*

<Rhiannon_D> (amnesia and general neurological damage is DEI though...)

<Anna_Mihakai> (no other hardware inside her, the doctor would have detected that.. and the metal content isn't high enough to be worrysome)

<Skywarp> *different forms of meeting up - from hostile to cooperative*

<Nathan_Raiser> interesting

<Nathan_Raiser> try na dlook into that

<Nathan_Raiser> did you find anything interesting about Anna?

<Skywarp> *need some restructuring of core memory to retrieve further information*

<Nathan_Raiser> i'll help with that

<Nathan_Raiser> Your camo will keep you cool and hidden from any sensors...

<Skywarp> *Anna's blood contains high levels of metal compounds*

<Nathan_Raiser> you stand tight...

<Nathan_Raiser> oh?

<Nathan_Raiser> does that indicate anything specific?

<Skywarp> *unusual structure for human lifeform*

<Nathan_Raiser> you're the oen that loaded up on human anatomy... i do combat medicine, remember?

<Anna_Mihakai> (Rhi: Not in the way I removed the ADEI *G*)

<Skywarp> *She seemsto have been contaminated with metall structures.

<Nathan_Raiser> interesting...

<Skywarp> *Her mainframe is purely human, but she seems to have taken some damage of a kind I cannot explicitely determine*

<Nathan_Raiser> anything aboout what coudl have caused the amnesia?

<Skywarp> The metal structures permeate not only her blood, but alto some brain tissue

<Skywarp> Maybe some interaction of these metal particles with the brain caused dysfunctions*

<Nathan_Raiser> could it be a post cybernetic insertion?

<Nathan_Raiser> i heared implants were being done in wetwork units back in the 70's...

<Skywarp> I cannot determine any functionality of these metal particles. There does not seem to be any larger functional structure available*

<Nathan_Raiser> but i never thought it would live up...

<Nathan_Raiser> anyway

<Nathan_Raiser> i'm heading for some tea

<Nathan_Raiser> you keep tight and enjoy under the cooling netting...

<Skywarp> *as usual*

Nathan_Raiser grabs his coke and heads towards the zepellin...

Nathan_Raiser turns

<Nathan_Raiser> do you need anything ?

<Nathan_Raiser> i'm sorry, but it seems that this operation was a miss... i didn't manage to find others like you... i promise i will... then you'll have other company then me...

<Skywarp> *I'm currently trying to restructurethe parts of my core memory to find more about the incidents about those life forms similar to the one you met - so no*

Nathan_Raiser taps the jet and heads towards the airship

<Skywarp> *Maybe thislifeform has some further leads*

<Nathan_Raiser> (okay i'm willign to stop here as DIngo and i seem to have taken over... do the others want to talk ? Or do we wanna stop ?)

<Rhiannon_D> (this life-form is about to get extinct though... can we call it a night?)

<La_ST> (I'm dead)

<La_ST> (I would like to collapse to bed. I need to get up at 6:30)

<Anna_Mihakai> (Asmo, we could finish our little talk)

<La_ST> (You can finish it - I'll read the logs ^_^)

<Rhiannon_D> well, as long as it gets logged, go ahead ^^

<La_ST> (I'm just play dead - only got 2 hours of sleep yesterday too)

<La_ST> (plain)

<Nathan_Raiser> Let's stop then
