24|02:36:22 <@Jinx> "The briefing room door opens, and the light within is rather bright."
24|02:36:32  * Lori-R-MET-1 blinks/squints
24|02:36:55 <@Jinx> "The group realizes that they are just on time, yet there are already people there, not just one briefing officer either..."
24|02:37:07  * Lori-R-MET-1 looks at door number and PDC again
24|02:37:10 <@Jinx> "Standing before them is a sight none of them has ever seen... an INDIGO citizen."
24|02:37:17 <@Vinu-R-COM-1> ~blink blink~
24|02:37:18 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> !!
24|02:37:21 <@Lori-R-MET-1> ooooo
24|02:37:23 <@Vinu-R-COM-1> ~gasp~
24|02:37:44 <@Jinx> Gordon-I-FRU: Come in and take your seats now.
24|02:37:49  * Lori-R-MET-1 do
24|02:37:52 <@Jinx> (and we end there fore the night)
24|02:37:55  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 sits
24|02:37:57  * Lori-R-MET-1 stare at Gordon
24|21:30:24 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R enters the room last, blinking in the bright light, and takes a seat near the rear."
24|21:30:53 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Welcome, Troubleshooters. The mission we have for you is a very important one.
24|21:31:17 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Do any of you have any idea why Sector-UIP was closed down 6 months ago?
24|21:31:18  * Lori-R-MET-1 suddenyl disorient for a moment as if had napped
24|21:31:25 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> No, sir!
24|21:31:29  * Lori-R-MET-1 resumes starting at Gordon-I
24|21:31:35 <@Jinx> Jia-R: No sir
24|21:31:35 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> nope!
24|21:31:36 <@Lori-R-MET-1> nobody told me
24|21:31:42 <@Marie> but still nobody
24|21:31:48 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: UIP? Never heard of it.
24|21:32:06 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: I'm sure information like that would be beyond my security clearance, sir.
24|21:32:53 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Good answer. Alright. To my left is Tony-Y-UIP, to my right is Allen-Y-UIP, they are managers from the nuclear power plant in UIP sector.
24|21:33:09 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Go ahead, Tony-Y.
24|21:33:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> nuukes *_*
24|21:33:46 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: Ahem, yes... well... The reactor suffered a breach 7 months ago, within one month we realized that containment was impossible as more and more breaches were occurring.
24|21:33:47  * Lori-R-MET-1 pays attention mostly but keeps staring back at Gordon-I
24|21:34:19 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: The Computer, in its wisdom, evacuated the Sector of all human personnel, until the situation could be defused.
24|21:34:44 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: What ended up happening, however, was that we simply had to let the radiation sponges handle the situation.
24|21:35:10 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: But now, we're sure that the sector is safe for rehabitation, at least everywhere not directly near the reactor.
24|21:35:13 <@Marie> those everywhere
24|21:35:45 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: That, of course, is where you come in. We need a final safety sweep done and we can't send in Armed Forces, they won't mobilize for this since there are no known hostiles.
24|21:35:54 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Beginning to see the point?
24|21:36:01 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~nods~
24|21:36:02 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> so we're to do a safety sweep?
24|21:36:05 <@Lori-R-MET-1> k
24|21:36:07 <@Lori-R-MET-1> what are we lookin for?
24|21:36:10 <@Jinx> "The two REDs nod, Pauline-R scoffs."
24|21:36:16 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> check for mutant commies? *_*
24|21:36:40 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Each of you is here because of your specific skills, The Computer has recommended each and every one of you SPECIFICALLY. It's an honor.
24|21:36:53 <@Lori-R-MET-1> cool!
24|21:38:07 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: So here's the details. Citizen Lori-R-MET-1, you were selected for this team due to your known skills with Security Systems and Habitat Engineering. You are assigned the duty of Happiness Officer.
24|21:38:14 <@Lori-R-MET-1> kk
24|21:38:29 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: aside from that you are in charge of opening any locked systems and assessing damage to the sector from disuse.
24|21:39:48 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Citizen Sonny-R-LTL-1, you have been chosen for this mission for your skill in weapon and armor maintenance. Your job is to keep everyone primed in case anything untoward IS encountered
24|21:40:09 <@Marie> the systems to do with clearing
24|21:40:37 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: A pleasure to serve, sir, and might I say you are VERY efficient!
24|21:41:17  * Lori-R-MET-1 eyes the one with the high bootlicking
24|21:41:31 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Right... thank you, Sonny-R.
24|21:42:20 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Citizen Martin-R-QUE, your selection in this mission is based on your exemplary handling of bot hardware. Most of the bots in the sector were simply left, and should still be functioning correctly.
24|21:42:48 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Your job will be to check on them and report their condition so we know if we need to supplement. Also, of course, they may require some maintenance.
24|21:43:07 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> understood, sir.
24|21:44:13 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Citizen Cleo-R-ARC-1... I... was not directly informed as to why you were chosen for this mission. The Computer was VERY insistent though. Your assigned duty is to ensure that the power wiring of the main areas of the sector is still in proper condition.
24|21:44:38 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Oh... right. Cleo-R is assigned Hygiene Officer, Martin-R, you are Loyalty Officer for this mission.
24|21:44:48 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Sonny-R--
24|21:44:51 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> understood, sir!
24|21:45:04 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: May I presume I am to be Equipment Maintenance Officer, sir!?
24|21:45:08 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: er... yes...
24|21:46:22 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Registered Mutant Citizen Pauline-R-GET-1. You have been assigned to this mission for a very special reason, and are assigned to be the Communications And Recording Officer due to it. Your known skill in image editing and camera work will be vital in the production of the footage required.
24|21:46:53 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: The Computer has decided to document the state of UIP Sector and your mission to show how safe it is to return there.
24|21:47:55 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Be sure to get as much footage as possible, and play up the safety aspect of everything. Try to make sure you label what parts of your work are, in your opinion, best for this.
24|21:48:03 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Yes sir, of course sir.
24|21:48:51 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: And finally, team Leader Jia-R-HNN-1...
24|21:48:56 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Yes sir?
24|21:49:18 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: You have been selected for this mission due to your exemplary performance as Team Leader on your last mission.
24|21:49:47 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: We expect you to perform equally well if not better this time around. The Computer finds your performance of last mission VERY favorable and hopes to see you advance.
24|21:49:55 <@Jinx> "Jia-R's eyes light up"
24|21:50:11 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Of course, sir! I will do my best to serve Friend Computer as always!
24|21:50:47 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Alright, I have somewhere to be. Any questions that AREN'T related to the sector itself?
24|21:51:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> how much time do we have before we are to arrive?
24|21:52:25 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: This mission is expected to take you a maximum of 48 hours. We would greatly prefer having the whole thing wrapped up before Fivesday night, obviously.
24|21:52:45 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: However your arrival time in the sector is irrelevant, just get the job done.
24|21:52:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> understood!
24|21:52:57 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Actually, sir, as Team Leader I realize that I am not aware of the specifics of Citizen Pauline-R's Mutant Powers...
24|21:53:06 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: None of your business!
24|21:53:16 <@Jinx> "Gordon-I regards Pauline-R sternly."
24|21:53:26 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> if they're REGISTERED, aren't they exactly that?
24|21:53:32 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: S-sorry sir... reflex... it won't happen again.
24|21:53:37 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: See that it doesn't.
24|21:53:58 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Well, I just would like to be able to understand how to best utilize my team members' abilities, sir...
24|21:54:11 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R glares at Jia-R's head from behind."
24|21:54:49 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Yes, fine... Citizen Pauline-R has registered the Mutant abilities known as 'Lie Detector' and 'Stamina Burst'.
24|21:55:11 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: L-l-lie... Detector...?
24|21:55:26 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Thank you, sir!
24|21:55:36 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Any other questions?
24|21:56:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> do we have any prearranged supplies to pick up from anywhere?
24|21:56:33 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: Of course, but that part of the briefing will be handled by Allen-Y.
24|21:56:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> understood!
24|21:56:48 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: That it then?
24|21:56:51  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 nod
24|21:56:58 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Yes sir, I'm sure you're very busy.
24|21:57:02  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 represses urge to ask about chips
24|21:57:19 <@Jinx> "Gordon-I nods and swiftly exits the room."
24|21:57:50 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Right, nothing to worry about... here's the equipment loadout, better write this down or turn on your PDC recording function, Citizens.
24|21:57:55 <@Marie> pretty decent equipment
24|21:58:02  * Lori-R-MET-1 turns on
24|21:58:03  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 activates recorder
24|21:59:30 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Martin-R, Loyalty Transcript, 3 RED laser barrels, experimental Plasma charge Shotgun in final testing stages... don't worry, we're pretty sure this will work out fine, it's got basically no functions that endanger anyone that isn't in the line of fire.
24|21:59:55 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> *_*
24|21:59:59  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 squees
24|22:01:23 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Lori-R, you'll get the Medication Therapy Kit as your duty requires, as well as 3 RED Barrels and 4 Nerve Gas grenades... just in case.
24|22:01:28 <@Marie> have therapy at 3 am
24|22:01:39 <@Lori-R-MET-1> ok
24|22:01:46 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Nerve Gas grenades?
24|22:03:04 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Cleo-R, you are assigned the Skin Core Sampler mk.6, as well as some eyedrops and the new Cyclone Gauntlet from R&D. Read the instructions for that device carefully please.
24|22:03:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> !!!!!
24|22:03:23 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: You of course also receive the standard 3 RED laser barrels.
24|22:03:34 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> that's even BETTER than a gun!! *_*
24|22:03:39 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: You had a question about the grenades, Lori-R?
24|22:04:23 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: I can explain their functions to her later if you would like to get on with the briefing, sir!
24|22:04:28 <@Lori-R-MET-1> what kind of nerve gas are they?
24|22:04:33 <@Lori-R-MET-1> the nap kind, or the big kind?
24|22:04:42 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: That's a good idea, Sonny-R... explain it later.
24|22:05:44 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: You, Sonny-R, will have the 3 RED Barrels, 5 Flash grenades, and you are assigned the Sonic Shock Cannon. Again. CAREFUL with it.
24|22:06:14 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Oh of COURSE sir, damaging such equipment would be very improper to say the least, sir!
24|22:06:16 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ...Sonic Shock Cannon?
24|22:06:35 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: That's the kind of attitude I like to hear.
24|22:07:37 <@Marie> who knows
24|22:08:15 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Team Leader Jia-R, you will be assigned the Neurostunner, 3 RED laser barrels, and 4 net grenades. It is your job to make sure that any Communist Traitors you encounter are apprehended and INTERROGATED. You understand this, right? You may terminate them only if they pose a demonstrable threat, or AFTER you have interrogated them.
24|22:08:34 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Interrogation should be generally left up to Citizen Pauline-R.
24|22:08:42 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Yes sir. Understood Sir
24|22:09:51 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Registered Mutant Citizen Pauline-R, you are assigned the Comm. Unit, as you all are venturing into an abandoned sector. A Multicorder of course, please take good care of this item as your mission success depends on it, and 3 RED laser barrels.
24|22:10:35 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: You will also be given 5 Stun Grenades for emergency use. We certainly don't want anything happening to the Multicorder... or you, of course.
24|22:10:42 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: ... yes sir.
24|22:11:03 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Right, that's it for me, any questions about the sector or Reactor, direct to Tony-Y.
24|22:12:03 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: Right... well it's a real basic situation. Of course we all know the reactor was damaged by commie sabotage-
24|22:12:08 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Of course, sir
24|22:12:30 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> right, so does this mean there's no power or lights in the sector?
24|22:12:31 <@Lori-R-MET-1> damn commies
24|22:12:32 <@Marie> damn
24|22:12:43 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: but we don't think they're in the area anymore, and the spybots in the area don't have much to report
24|22:13:02 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: There's limited power. The reactor cooled out but it should still be functioning at minimum.
24|22:13:09 <@Marie> a functioning office, finally
24|22:13:23 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> any security systems aside from Spybots functioning at all?
24|22:13:26 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Oh right, thanks for reminding me... Everyone is also assigned gas masks, geiger counters and night vision goggles...
24|22:13:41 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> yes I was about to ask about goggles *_*
24|22:14:17 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: The cameras in the area are working but they aren't transmitting out of the sector anymore, at least not consistently. You should be able to get information from them though.
24|22:14:20 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> what about radiation suits, should going nearer to the reactor itself be necessary?
24|22:14:38 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: Other security systems are mostly non-functional but you can expect all the bots to still be mostly up and running
24|22:15:02 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Alright. I'll give any I encounter a thorough check in case some commie has sabotaged them with a rogue program
24|22:15:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> if there ARE any commies left, chances are they're shacked up in the deeper parts of the sector...
24|22:15:25 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: Even if you do have to go near the reactor, the exposure levels should be low enough that a simple purge when you return will fix you up. Nothing to worry about unless you're expecting it to make you mutate or something.
24|22:15:37 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> understood
24|22:15:41 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R's expression goes flat."
24|22:16:07 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> what is it, fellow troubleshooter?
24|22:16:27 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Martin, don't worry, that's why they sent me along.  I'll get those security systems working in no time
24|22:16:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> what's the damage to the surrounding areas like, barring their initial radiation exposure?
24|22:16:43 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> I meant the bots, Lori.
24|22:16:44 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Hmm? Oh, nothing at all, Citizen Martin... I was just concerned that my fellows might be endangering themselves by potential exposure to mutagenic radiation
24|22:16:54 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> also, got any maps? O_o
24|22:16:54 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> You've never been any good at programming the things...
24|22:17:04 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: But as I am already a mutant, I am sure that if necessary I will be the one to approach the reactor.
24|22:17:20 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: That's very commendable, Citizen Pauline-R.
24|22:17:58 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: The map of the Sector will be downloaded to your PDCs in realtime once you arrive there, from the last active console at the border of the sector.
24|22:18:28 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: One last thing then, sir
24|22:18:45 <@Marie> s facebook says sir after every win or water creature for an example ?
24|22:19:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> and the damage?
24|22:19:31 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: If we find the situation at the reactor to be different from what is expected, should we take countermeasures of some kind?
24|22:20:24 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: No, none of you are sufficiently skilled in Nuclear Engineering to handle the reactor. If by some chance things ARE still bad in there, you are to assess the situation as thoroughly as possible and then return, and that will be considered mission success.
24|22:20:44 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: What was that about the damage, Cleo-R?
24|22:20:47 <@Marie> more damage
24|22:20:56 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> I think she means how bad the damage to the sector in general is
24|22:21:15 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> should we expect major structural damage?
24|22:21:31 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> was there any notable explosion-based damage to the surrounding areas, or was this simply just the cumulative leaks? *_*
24|22:21:34 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: The sector isn't DAMAGED at all really, just was irradiated. Some items may be a bit above the readings they should be, but no serious structural damage is expected.
24|22:21:41 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> oh... ok
24|22:22:18 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: No other questions?
24|22:22:31 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> nope!
24|22:22:35 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> not at all
24|22:22:37 <@Lori-R-MET-1> nope
24|22:23:55  * Lori-R-MET-1 cooks while
24|22:24:00 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: Good. Go get equipped and report to the UNB sector Cargo station when ready. You'll be taking an armored transport car to the sector, it can also act as a temporary base of operations until you go deeper in
24|22:24:15 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> alright
24|22:24:43 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: Try to stay alive, people, there shouldn't be anything wrong in there, but the closest clone vats aren't exactly nearby. Your clone backups have already been transported to that facility
24|22:25:05 <@Jinx> Tony-Y: Dismissed.
24|22:25:10 <@Lori-R-MET-1> k
24|22:25:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> yes, sir!
24|22:27:13 <@Lori-R-MET-1> k
24|22:27:20 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> okay
24|22:28:16 <@Jinx> also, happy scheming!
24|22:28:19 <@Lori-R-MET-1> mhm!
30|21:40:18 <@Jinx> <Jinx> Tony-Y: Good. Go get equipped and report to the UNB sector Cargo station when ready. You'll be taking an armored transport car to the sector, it can also act as a temporary base of operations until you go deeper in
30|21:40:18 <@Jinx> <Martin-R-QUE-1> alright
30|21:40:19 <@Jinx> <Jinx> Tony-Y: Try to stay alive, people, there shouldn't be anything wrong in there, but the closest clone vats aren't exactly nearby. Your clone backups have already been transported to that facility
30|21:40:19 <@Jinx>  Tony-Y: Dismissed.
30|21:41:20 <@Jinx> "Sonny-R nods enthusiastically and rises, heading for the door."
30|21:41:48  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 rises and cartwheels towards the exit!!
30|21:42:15  * Martin-R-QUE-1 rises, carefully scans the room, and heads towards the door
30|21:42:16 <@Lori-R-MET-1> k
30|21:42:20  * Lori-R-MET-1 watches Cleo
30|21:42:23 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Well, I think I see why she's Happiness Officer...
30|21:42:42 <@Lori-R-MET-1> 24|21:38:07 <@Jinx> Gordon-I: So here's the details. Citizen Lori-R-MET-1, you were selected for this team due to your known skills with Security Systems and Habitat Engineering. You are
30|21:42:42 <@Lori-R-MET-1>                     assigned the duty of Happiness Officer.
30|21:43:10 <@Lori-R-MET-1> uh.  I thought he said I was happiness officer?
30|21:43:34 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: Yes, it was you I was referring to... is there a problem, citizen?
30|21:43:59 <@Lori-R-MET-1> oh, i got distracted by cleo's cartwheels
30|21:44:00 <@Jinx> Allen-Y: You immediately paid attention to the mood of your teammate. Commendable.
30|21:44:12 <@Lori-R-MET-1> thankyou sir!
30|21:44:20  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 frontflips out the door and scurries off
30|21:44:47  * Lori-R-MET-1 glances at the others and follows martin out the door
30|21:44:52 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R picks up her bag and looks around."
30|21:45:01 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: After you, Team Leader.
30|21:45:22 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Er... right...
30|21:45:31  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 heads off in the direction of her workplace
30|21:45:41 <@Jinx> "Jia-R also exits, with Pauline-R bringing up the rear."
30|21:45:43 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I need a screw~dri~ver!
30|21:45:56 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Hey wait wait... shouldn't we all report to PLC together?
30|21:46:28 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Of course, Team Leader, perhaps we can all meet there in, say, forty minutes?
30|21:46:31 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> do they have power tools? *_*
30|21:46:41 <@Marie> clan leader star if you send Jinx or not
30|21:47:01 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> they might, Cleo!
30|21:47:08 <@Jinx> Jia-R: You have something MORE IMPORTANT than this mission to be doing?
30|21:47:22 <@Lori-R-MET-1> I think I saw somebody getting some there once
30|21:47:40 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> point!
30|21:47:44 <@Marie> that point
30|21:47:46  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 scurries back
30|21:47:54 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Oh no no, of course not, Leader, it's just that, well, it is lunchtime and the crowd at PLC will be horrible, we won't make any further time by going there now.
30|21:48:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> oh wait yeah!
30|21:48:25 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: So we might as well go get some food and wait, right?
30|21:48:31 <@Jinx> Jia-R: I... suppose so.
30|21:48:37 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> If we go now, the clerk will probably be irritated and make our job all the more difficult
30|21:48:44 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> it's hardly productive.
30|21:49:04 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Alright, everyone meet up at PLC in an hour.
30|21:49:26 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> alright.
30|21:49:41 <@Lori-R-MET-1> ok
30|21:49:50  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 resumes acrobatic scurrying
30|21:49:51  * Lori-R-MET-1 bounds off in the direction of the elevator
30|21:50:03  * Lori-R-MET-1 proceeds to poke the down button three times a second
30|21:50:18 <@Jinx> {Current System Time - 12:23 PM}
30|21:50:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I need a power screwdriver and and some pencils and a marker and...

30|21:52:08  * Lori-R-MET-1 proceed to push the exitfloor button three times  and one time per second, alternately
30|21:52:19  * Martin-R-QUE-1 walks away in the general direction of the tubes
30|21:52:37  * Lori-R-MET-1 wonders why everybody's takin teh stairs
30|21:53:44 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Someone clearly takes lots of Wider Awake...
30|21:54:16 <@Lori-R-MET-1> That's why I'm happiness officer!
30|21:54:19 <@Lori-R-MET-1> I am quite attentive!
30|21:54:29  * Lori-R-MET-1 keeps staring intently at the button while poking
30|21:54:58 <@Jinx> "The elevator opens on the ground floor"
30|21:55:08  * Lori-R-MET-1 bounds off
30|21:58:47 <@Jinx> "Sonny-R simply heads for one of the communal mess halls"
30|22:32:49 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> I walk towards PLC.
30|22:32:54 <@Jinx> (Ok, that's an hour and covers ABOUT what I expected, we can continue for long enough to do the 'gathering at PLC' or we can stop here.)
30|22:33:57  * Lori-R-MET-1 shows up, nomming a black raspberry jello
30|22:34:52  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 dynamically flies through the air and skids to a stop, nomming a biscuit!!
30|22:34:57 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R is standing watching the people exit, glaring at anyone who stares at her yellow stripe."
30|22:35:20 <@Jinx> "Sonny-R strolls up drinking the last of a Bouncy Bubble Beverage."
30|22:35:22 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> DYNAMIC! ENTRY!
30|22:35:46 <@Jinx> "Jia-R taps her foot impatiently, but seems to brighten up once Martin-R arrives."
30|22:35:57  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 offers the nearby Pauline a biscuit!!
30|22:36:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I GOT SPARES
30|22:36:09 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Er... huh?

30|22:36:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> they're gooood
30|22:36:49 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Line's not too bad, most of them are INFRAREDs now. Looks like Sonny was right.
30|22:36:49 <@Lori-R-MET-1> mm, biscuits *watch*
30|22:37:01 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Oh, really? Nice.
30|22:37:03 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Um... thank you...
30|22:37:09 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> We can probably cut through them easily...
30|22:37:16  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 nodnod
30|22:37:38 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Yeah, that should be no problem. They're probably not in any hurry anyway, most likely got dispatched to pick up stuff for work
30|22:37:48 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> let's just hope we don't get a bad clerk >_>
30|22:37:56 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: After you all, then...
30|22:38:15 <@Lori-R-MET-1> nah, 'sokay, you can go first this time.  i went first last time
30|22:38:20 <@Marie> nah wait, that obv
30|22:38:23 <@Jinx> "Sonny-R takes the lead, striding confidently into the PLC."
30|22:38:25 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Should Jia be going first?
30|22:38:26 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ...
30|22:38:28 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> alrighty then.
30|22:38:48  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 nods MOAR FOOD
30|22:38:54 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> m*
30|22:38:57 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: I don't walk in front of people... it's just a 'thing'... Don't like people 'behind my back', if you get what I mean.
30|22:39:14  * Lori-R-MET-1 walks next to Pauline
30|22:39:17 <@Lori-R-MET-1> k
30|22:39:22 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: That works.
30|22:39:39  * Lori-R-MET-1 yawns at the line

30|22:39:53  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 nom

30|22:40:02 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> indeed, cleo!
30|22:40:54  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 looks around, then quickly follows suit
30|22:41:18 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> forry, parfon me! *nom*
30|22:41:38  * Lori-R-MET-1 weaves behind Cleo
30|22:42:07 <@Jinx> "Sonny-R strides right up to a clerk that has just finished dealing with an INFRARED who seems to be leaving with a large box."
30|22:42:26 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: GOOD afternoon, my good man! We're here for outfitting!
30|22:42:30  * Martin-R-QUE-1 eyes the INFRARED quizzically
30|22:42:39 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> oh well
30|22:42:45 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (does his box have a label?)
30|22:43:02 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: As Equipment Maintenance Officer of my team, I understand that my job is to ensure you provide us with our equipment speedily!
30|22:43:54 <@Jinx> Clerk: Oh, SURELY, sir. Of course, you do understand that everything takes time, sometimes the gears of the system must be properly... 'lubricated'.
30|22:43:58  * Lori-R-MET-1 mentally facepalms
30|22:44:15 <@Jinx> "The Clerk rubs his fingers together slightly, indicating his expectation of 'compensation'."
30|22:44:58 <@Jinx> "Jia-R eyes the exchange going on."
30|22:45:23 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> It would save us plenty of time, Jia-R, sir.
30|22:46:12 <@Jinx> "Jia-R shrugs and puts her hands behind her head, stretching."
30|22:46:24 <@Jinx> Jia-R: As long as no one expects any 'lubricant' from me.
30|22:47:01 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Well then, we have a very important mission and a tall order to fill, sir, so if you don't mind, shall we get to it?
30|22:47:10 <@Jinx> "Sonny-R slips the clerk 20 credits."
30|22:47:17 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I have some machine oil in my quarters!
30|22:47:59 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Do you want to go get it, Cleo?
30|22:48:00 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Everyone on the team has been assigned Night Vision goggles, a Geiger Counter, and the standard 3 RED laser barrels for the mission.
30|22:48:03 <@Lori-R-MET-1> I dont know if we'll have time
30|22:48:25 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> loyalty transcript and a plasma shotgun for me...
30|22:48:45 <@Marie> yes
30|22:48:48 <@Jinx> Clerk: Oh... it seems we're low on Laser Barrels... again...
30|22:48:58 <@Jinx> Clerk: I can get you fourteen total.
30|22:49:14 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: This will do, that should be enough, we will make do

30|22:51:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> *_*
30|22:51:15  * Martin-R-QUE-1 glares at Cleo
30|22:51:17  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 holds out hands
30|22:51:19 <@Jinx> Clerk: I merely meant that it has been temporarily recalled for testing.
30|22:51:23 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> !
30|22:51:29  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 looks shocked!
30|22:51:43 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: No you didn't.
30|22:51:49 <@Jinx> Clerk: I beg your pardon?
30|22:51:59 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: That's not what you meant. You are lying.
30|22:52:02 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> But Cleo IS the one who is supposed to be testing it.
30|22:52:06 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> yes!
30|22:52:10 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> That's what she's HERE for
30|22:52:14 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I REALLY don't mind beta testing the gauntlet!!
30|22:52:14 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> among other things
30|22:52:21 <@Jinx> Clerk: There must have been some error in documentation...
30|22:52:25 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> *_*
30|22:52:36 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> There's always one, isn't there?
30|22:52:52 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Did you try to sell it off? Out with it? What'd you really do with it?
30|22:53:00 <@Marie> no need it, sell it
30|22:53:15 <@Jinx> Clerk: I don't know what you're talking about and I don't appreciate being accused of such activity!
30|22:53:15 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I PROMISE you I have plenty of lubricant in my quarters!
30|22:53:19 <@Marie> i promise
30|22:53:48 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R leans over the desk and grabs the Clerk by the collar."
30|22:53:49 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ...
30|22:53:51 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> (ehehehehehee)
30|22:53:56 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Perhaps I'm not being clear enough...

30|22:55:08 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Oh, I don't know, she WAS supposed to be the person in charge of this sort of thing...
30|22:55:10 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~sighs~
30|22:55:14 <@Jinx> (clerk is RED)

30|22:55:39 <@Jinx> Clerk: SECURITY!
30|22:55:40 <@Lori-R-MET-1> maybe we should call the computer and ask about the documentation?
30|22:55:55 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Why do they always want to do it the hard way?
30|22:56:09 <@Lori-R-MET-1> oh good.  security will be happy to tell us what Actually happend to the gauntlet!
30|22:56:15 <@Lori-R-MET-1> god forbid it got stolen or misdirected

30|22:56:56 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I mean I got more than enough to spare I like the scent and all but
30|22:57:14 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R attempts to lift the clerk over the counter, but finds that he is quite well trained in avoiding the violent 'advances' of others."
30|22:57:25 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Maybe we really should stop her...
30|22:57:43 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> STOP her??
30|22:57:46 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> gauntlet ;_;
30|22:57:54 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> if anything we should HELP her
30|22:58:12 <@Lori-R-MET-1> she is aprehending a thief
30|22:58:17 <@Jinx> "The clerk loses his balance suddenly, his body slumping."
30|22:58:19 <@Lori-R-MET-1> surely the computer would want thieves aprehended
30|22:58:45 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R loses her grip on him as he becomes 'dead weight' in her hands."
30|22:59:04 <@Lori-R-MET-1> uh
30|22:59:05 <@Jinx> "He slides back, out of reach, and pulls his laser pistol."
30|22:59:05 <@Lori-R-MET-1> what happened?
30|22:59:32 <@Lori-R-MET-1> uhoh
30|22:59:34 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: You're only making this worse on yourself.
30|22:59:42  * Lori-R-MET-1 backs away out of arc
30|23:00:11 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Whatever you did with the Gauntlet, you could cover up and fix in half an hour, right? But if you start shooting in here, you're gonna be in WAY worse trouble.
30|23:00:43 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> lots of witnesses...lots of evidence
30|23:00:57 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> it wouldn't do anything at ALL.
30|23:00:59 <@Jinx> Clerk: You don't scare me! Who do you think you are? Handling me this way! Get out of here immediately!
30|23:01:02 <@Lori-R-MET-1> and security on tehir way to watch

30|23:02:59 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: would you like my friend here to see which of you is the better shot? You don't look so good right now, SIR.
30|23:03:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> not that I understand why a man would impersonate some dough
30|23:03:22 <@Jinx> "The Clerk trembles slightly."

30|23:03:54 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Perhaps you'd like some medication to calm down? You seem to be under a lot of STRESS.
30|23:04:20 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: I'm sure that Cleo can prescribe something appropriate as SOON as you get her Medication Therapy Kit for her.
30|23:04:40  * Lori-R-MET-1 eyes
30|23:04:44 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Indeed!

30|23:04:50 <@Jinx> Clerk: I-I don't need any medication! I'm just... having a rough day.
30|23:05:05 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Well I suppose we could see if you can calm down on your own
30|23:05:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> can I have my gauntlet now *_*
30|23:05:11 <@Lori-R-MET-1> but you certainly look QUITE unhappy at the moment
30|23:05:17 <@Marie> now i agree
30|23:05:24 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Put your weapon away. NOW.
30|23:05:34 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> And tell us what you did with the gauntlet.
30|23:05:37 <@Jinx> Clerk: Y-yes.
30|23:06:07 <@Jinx> "He stands and smooths his ruffled jumpsuit, holstering his laser pistol."
30|23:06:19 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Alright. So where did it go?
30|23:06:35  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 pets her gun
30|23:06:42 <@Jinx> Clerk: I sold the gauntlet to... well I can't say WHO, you understand... but--
30|23:06:49 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: I think you CAN.
30|23:06:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> It's okay, Josephine
30|23:07:04 <@Jinx> Clerk: P-please, I-
30|23:07:26 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: No, no, don't you understand? Clearly that person influenced you with their trickery and offers... it is all their fault, right?
30|23:07:46 <@Jinx> Clerk: Yes, yes! I... I was just... a moment of weakness... um...
30|23:07:58 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> So who is it?
30|23:08:02 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: So why don't you tell us WHO bought the gauntlet so we can arrange to get it back?
30|23:08:04 <@Marie> change who does ?
30|23:08:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> so why don't you tell us WHO swayed you so, and we'll let them take the fall?
30|23:08:13 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> CLEARLY if they are employing such trickery they need to be examined ANYWAY
30|23:08:27 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> and then we all carry on with our day.
30|23:08:29 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Simple.
30|23:08:34 <@Marie> pretty simple actually
30|23:09:12 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ....
30|23:09:16 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> (OH GOD)
30|23:09:21 <@Jinx> Clerk: The purchaser was Citizen Damon-R-SER-2, he paid directly, 600 credits... I... I couldn't resist! I must go confess my treason immediately, please excuse me!

30|23:10:21 <@Jinx> Clerk: Oh... er... y-yes, of course... but... failure to confess treason immediately...
30|23:10:29 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> is your OWN PROBLEM
30|23:10:38 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> the mission must continue as specified.
30|23:10:39 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Isn't inconveniencing us WORSE than that?

30|23:11:44 <@Jinx> Clerk: Yes, as I said before, the laser barrels are short... the goggles, counters, gas masks, all procurable, I have already put that into the system
30|23:11:52 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> specific counters for it
30|23:12:13 <@Lori-R-MET-1> and the rest?
30|23:12:14 <@Jinx> Clerk: Plasma... shotgun... yes, yes, we have that!
30|23:12:15 <@Lori-R-MET-1> hm.
30|23:12:34 <@Lori-R-MET-1> dont you kinda owe Cleo the 600 credits, the price of her equipment?
30|23:12:34 <@Jinx> Clerk: The grenades are as usual in plentiful supply... um...
30|23:12:37 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Good.
30|23:12:46 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> *_*
30|23:12:56 <@Jinx> Clerk: I-I thought you were going to be... apprehending the... criminal...?
30|23:13:03 <@Lori-R-MET-1> ah true
30|23:13:07 <@Lori-R-MET-1> better get us our stuff so we can then
30|23:13:30 <@Jinx> Jia-R: But in the meantime you should compensate Cleo-R so she is not disadvantaged. We may need to undertake our mission without that particular device.
30|23:13:30 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I don't mind money too though *_*
30|23:13:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> *_*
30|23:13:45 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Perhaps some sort of alternate weapon...?
30|23:13:51 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> !!!!
30|23:13:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> *_*
30|23:13:59 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> THAT'S EVEN BETTER!
30|23:14:04 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Wait, did you sell off my Shock Cannon?
30|23:14:20 <@Jinx> "The Clerk pales."
30|23:14:29 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> oh MAN!
30|23:14:33 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ...
30|23:14:37 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~sighs~
30|23:14:41 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Maybe that's how the RED Barrels ran short too..
30|23:14:42 <@Jinx> Pauline: SOMEONE is getting brainscrubbed.
30|23:14:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> think of the promotion we'll get for reporting this guy!
30|23:14:46 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> What, is the plasma shotgun not popular or something?
30|23:15:05 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> seriously, I'm surprised he didn't sell it off already >_>
30|23:15:06 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: He probably just hadn't found a buyer yet.
30|23:15:08 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I don't see HOW something so beautiful can be unpopular ;_;
30|23:15:10 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Well get us what you can, and see what you've got to replcae what you sold
30|23:15:12 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Name. NOW.
30|23:15:13 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> I KNOW, RIGHT?
30|23:15:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> the curves!
30|23:15:23 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ...
30|23:15:25 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> the suppressor!
30|23:15:31 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Cleo. what if we get TWO plasma shotguns?
30|23:15:31 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> the heat vents!
30|23:15:34 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> !!!!!
30|23:15:41  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 squees
30|23:15:58 <@Jinx> Clerk: Yohann-O-HMM-5! 1200 credits!
30|23:16:06 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: What?
30|23:16:16 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R turns to Sonny-R."
30|23:16:20 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> clearly Cleo does not need Lori's medical help >_>
30|23:16:29 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> she just needs advanced firepower
30|23:16:35 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Just WHAT is a Sonic Shock Cannon that he can get it sold off for that much!?
30|23:16:44 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Why'd they assign YOU something like that?!
30|23:16:50 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> i'll name her Lenora and take care of her and supply all the lubricant she needs and use her to retrieve my GAUNTLET THAT I DO NOT HAVE
30|23:16:54 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> I think the name is self-explanatory.
30|23:16:55 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Indeed, I am quite glad Cleo will be getting replacemnets
30|23:17:04 <@Lori-R-MET-1> It is good to have a happy and productive team!
30|23:17:06  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 glares at the Clerk
30|23:17:10 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Powerful sound waves, incapacitate target
30|23:17:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> so do you GOT ANYTHING USEFUL?
30|23:17:14 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Now now, Pauline, this isn't the time nor the place to be discussing that.
30|23:17:27 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> It is when your equipment got sold off.
30|23:17:32 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: I'm just wondering what they expected you to DO with it
30|23:17:50 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: If this mission is so safe, why would you need a weapon that's worth more than my SALARY?
30|23:18:08 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Calm down, they do this all the time... it's for testing...
30|23:18:14 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> safe could be a term relative to the loadouts we were SUPPOSED to get!
30|23:18:17  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 glares
30|23:18:19 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: And just WHAT were we--
30|23:18:24 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: oh.
30|23:18:26 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> testing.
30|23:18:34 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> go'oh haha i'm dueling ?
30|23:18:35 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Well, I guess... it could be that too, Cleo, but...
30|23:18:44 <@Lori-R-MET-1> now we dont HAVE those loadouts
30|23:18:47 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> can guess how it was a great duelist
30|23:19:00 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Dammit, they didn't mention anything about what we might need this kind of firepower FOR!
30|23:19:19 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> They didn't say anything about the sector beyond "nuclear reactor meltdown"
30|23:19:24 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Well lets at least GET the firepower.
30|23:19:31 <@Lori-R-MET-1> We can figure the rest out next
30|23:19:38 <@Jinx> Clerk: Y-yes...
30|23:19:42 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Right.
30|23:19:43 <@Lori-R-MET-1> So
30|23:19:44 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> sir, you are MAKING US LATE to a mission an INDIGO assigned
30|23:19:50 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> please compensate accordingly *_*
30|23:20:04 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Are we getting the equipment we will need to complete this obviously very DANGEROUS AND IMPORTANT mission?
30|23:20:28 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> either equivalent weapons or credits
30|23:20:34 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> anyone else got any suggestions?
30|23:20:47 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Well clearly if they expected us to encounter opposition requiring the use of a Sonic Shock Cannon, I'm going to need at LEAST a Laser Rifle
30|23:20:50 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Or do we need to explain your failing to Gordon-I-FRU?
30|23:21:21 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Got anything a bit more 'spread fire' back there?
30|23:21:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I need something with wide-area damage if I was expected to have something with wide-area damage *_*
30|23:22:03 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Hold on, you two, I don't think it's QUITE that necessary to replace the weapons with things THAT powerful...
30|23:22:20 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Jia-R We must complete the mission properly
30|23:22:21 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Oh really? And WHY is that, Leader?
30|23:22:26 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> the weapons ARE that powerful
30|23:22:56 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Well clearly if we spread out the firepower amongst the team, it will have the same overall effect.
30|23:23:11 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Yeah, he should arm the rest of us better TOO
30|23:23:15 <@Lori-R-MET-1> but certainly not instead.
30|23:23:15 <@Jinx> Jia-R: We will just have to be more careful.
30|23:23:19 <@Lori-R-MET-1> What if we run into something BIG?
30|23:23:25 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> GAUNT
30|23:23:25 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> by id was certainly a rather simple concept
30|23:23:26 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> LET
30|23:23:27 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> ;_;
30|23:23:33 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Clerk, how many plasma shotguns do you have?
30|23:23:51 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: I'm sure The Computer had very clear reasons for assigning me... er... Cleo and I... such powerful weapons.
30|23:24:01 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: We should try to stick to that.
30|23:24:06 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Yes.
30|23:24:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> YES *_*
30|23:24:13 <@Lori-R-MET-1> And where's the rest of our stuff you put in so long ago?
30|23:24:17 <@Jinx> Jia-R: It isn't necessary. I don't want to be held up in here all day.
30|23:24:31 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> in general misery, yes that's pretty clear honestly making it* well you sort of annoying
30|23:24:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> we WON'T BE, RIGHT, Mr. Clerk?
30|23:24:38 <@Jinx> "The Clerk produces the three boxes with the gas masks, etc"
30|23:24:51 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (whats the 'etc'?)
30|23:24:55 <@Jinx> Jia-R: He'll have to get clearance to give us anything testing level.
30|23:25:08  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 whispers
30|23:25:10 <@Jinx> (geiger counters, goggles, laser pistol barrels)
30|23:25:17 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> nice save, Pauline *_*
30|23:25:17 <@Lori-R-MET-1> k
30|23:25:18 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> k
30|23:25:43 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> ok, allow me to ring up the Computer real quick!
30|23:25:44 <@Jinx> Jia-R: I would feel more comfortable if everyone were approximately equally armed.
30|23:25:45 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Shall I pass these out, Sonny, while you see to it the rest of our equipment comes in
30|23:26:16 <@Jinx> Jia-R: If the testing devices have been TREASONOUSLY SOLD OFF...
30|23:26:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> best to report that, too! *_*
30|23:26:42 <@Jinx> Jia-R: that is unfortunate, but we were probably assigned them MORESO for testing than because we NEED them directly. We just need the equivalent.
30|23:26:45  * Lori-R-MET-1 checks the contents of the boxes, listing them aloud and passing them off appropriately (starting with herself)
30|23:26:53 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (sonny second, ofc)
30|23:26:57 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: No, I'm QUITE sure there must have been a good reason for this!
30|23:27:08 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I shall check!
30|23:27:15 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Sonny-R, it would be best if we are ALL prepared then, wouldnt it!
30|23:27:18 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Very well then.
30|23:27:29 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Thank you, Cleo.
30|23:27:36 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (are there enough of the geigers goggles and lasbarrels?)
30|23:27:37  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 rings up the Computer
30|23:27:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> do do dododo
30|23:27:48 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Normally I'm supposed to be in charge of contacting The Computer, but eh... go for it.
30|23:27:51 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Hey, where are the gas masks?
30|23:27:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> do~o do do
30|23:28:10 <@Jinx> Computer: Good afternoon, Citizen Cleo-R-ARC! How goes your mission preparation?
30|23:28:19 <@Jinx> Computer: My data indicates you have a situation
30|23:28:22 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> we got a small problem, Friend Computer!
30|23:29:08 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> our Clerk has TREASONOUSLY sold two rather powerful weapons to... *inputs* these guys, and we are therefore short on our loadouts for this mission!
30|23:29:36 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> do we have clearance to attain similar armaments?
30|23:29:51 <@Lori-R-MET-1> not to mention running out of other things, despite the computer's meticulous inventory managment
30|23:29:53 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~picks up his stuff~
30|23:30:03 <@Jinx> Computer: I will have those two traitors terminated immediately, Cleo-R, however there are no other testing weapons of that level assigned to the PLC outlets near you at this time.
30|23:30:05 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (jinx, are we short anything?)
30|23:30:19 <@Jinx> (you are not, all is well, except for being short 4 laser Barrels)
30|23:30:23  * Lori-R-MET-1 takes her geiger goggle gas mask 3las-R from the box
30|23:30:25 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (k)
30|23:31:06 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (do we know the clerk's name at all?) ~takes a picture subtly with her PDC~
30|23:31:07 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> our equipment manager had suggested simply requesting Plasma Shotguns, Friend Computer
30|23:31:09 <@Jinx> Computer: Please follow the instructions of your Equipment Officer and Team Leader in selecting alternate weaponry.
30|23:31:23 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> understood, Friend Computer *_*
30|23:31:42 <@Jinx> Computer: Is there anything else you all need, Cleo-R?
30|23:31:56  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 checks around for responses
30|23:32:01 <@Lori-R-MET-1> @clerk: I still need my mediccation kit, 4 nerve gas grenades, and 4 ocean grenades.
30|23:32:14 <@Jinx> "The Clerk hurriedly types that in."
30|23:32:42 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> not really, no
30|23:32:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> does anybody require guidance from our Friend Computer?
30|23:32:49 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~picks up loyalty transcript as well~
30|23:33:32 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Friend Computer, is there nothing at all of the level of the Sonic Shock Cannon available?
30|23:33:46 <@Jinx> Jia-R: You are a BIT too caught up on that cannon.
30|23:34:04 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Well we were SUPPOSED to have it
30|23:34:11 <@Lori-R-MET-1> We clearly need something equivalent
30|23:34:19 <@Lori-R-MET-1> it is quite important we do not go in underequipped isnt it?
30|23:34:26 <@Lori-R-MET-1> We must complete the mission properly!
30|23:34:44 <@Lori-R-MET-1> I'd hate to have a bad mission go on our records, wouldn't you?
30|23:34:45 <@Jinx> Computer: There are no similar level weapons available for four sectors. You may wait to see if the traitors can be apprehended without damage to the weapon, however this may take time and there is only a 22% chance of recovering the prototype safely.
30|23:35:20 <@Jinx> Computer: Your Team Leader's decision is prioritized. Please call again if there are further issues!
30|23:35:25 <@Jinx> "The comm ends."
30|23:35:38 <@Jinx> Jia-R: See?
30|23:35:59 <@Lori-R-MET-1> @clerk: oh, right.  I also require a RED PINN, to accomplish my assignment
30|23:36:07 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> add latin assignment of studying
30|23:36:13 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Now. Six standard laser rifles. I hope you have barrels for THOSE.
30|23:36:29 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (eeee)
30|23:36:42 <@Jinx> Clerk: Yes, ma'am
30|23:37:07 <@Jinx> Jia-R: now, the Plasma Shotgun for Martin was in final testing stages, that means you DO have more back there, don't you?
30|23:37:27 <@Jinx> Jia-R: They're running off test models from the factory and you HAVE them.
30|23:37:38 <@Jinx> Jia-R: That's WHY you didn't sell off any, isn't it?
30|23:37:54 <@Jinx> Clerk: Y-yes.
30|23:38:00 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Thought so. How many?
30|23:38:19 <@Jinx> Clerk: There's just three, I swear!
30|23:38:29 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> cleo gets one >_>
30|23:38:34 <@Jinx> "Jia-R looks over at Pauline-R for confirmation."
30|23:38:47 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R nods."
30|23:38:55 <@Jinx> Jia-R: We're taking all three of them, then.
30|23:38:58 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Good thinking, Jia!
30|23:39:08 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> *______*
30|23:39:45 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Also, if they're expecting us to need that level of stuff for a sector full of bots, it means they're not sure if the bots are still in their correct mode. So. ECM Grenades. How many you got?
30|23:40:03 <@Jinx> Clerk: F-full stock
30|23:40:17 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> I'll try to make sure they ARE in their correct state
30|23:40:26 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Martin-R-QUE-1, better safe than sorry!
30|23:40:33 <@Lori-R-MET-1> You may need to disable them, to get them to cooperate with repairs, too!
30|23:40:37 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Indeed, Lori!
30|23:40:54 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Five each. And I need my Neurostunner and net grenades. Standard equipment for recording should be given to Citizen Pauline-R, and stun grenades as well.
30|23:41:13 <@Jinx> Jia-R: That should get us through this.
30|23:41:30 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Shouldn't we try for... some more firepower?
30|23:41:52 <@Jinx> Jia-R: What's wrong with you? This is enough. Carry too much and we'll just take forever to get anything done.
30|23:41:53 <@Lori-R-MET-1> I expect Jia knows what she is doing.
30|23:42:06 <@Jinx> "Sonny-R glares at Lori-R."
30|23:42:08 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> she asked for the Plasma!
30|23:42:10 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Look, Sonny. We're carrying laser rifles, plasma shotguns, and ECM grenades.
30|23:42:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I LIKE THIS WOMAN
30|23:42:15 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Better safe than sorry though!
30|23:42:21 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> I have NO idea what we can face
30|23:42:24 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> that would require MORE than that
30|23:42:26 <@Jinx> Jia-R: I almost don't wanna give you a shotgun now, you're a LITTLE too gun-happy for me.
30|23:42:34 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> ;_;
30|23:42:42 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> I get to keep mine though, right?
30|23:42:46 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Surely we must keep Cleo-R happy, though!
30|23:42:49 <@Jinx> Jia-R: In fact, You'll give yours up to Pauline-R.
30|23:42:54 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> ;___;
30|23:42:55 <@Lori-R-MET-1> I'd hate to have unhappy people on our team
30|23:43:06 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Everyone should be working at their best!
30|23:43:06 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: That's not fair! She can't even fire it if she's recording!
30|23:43:19  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 offers her picture of Charles!
30|23:43:29 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> i'm not ALWAYS gun-happy, see?
30|23:43:32 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Then she'll carry it and give it to you when she thinks it's best.
30|23:43:40 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: But--
30|23:44:01 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Do I hear the sound of UNHAPPINESS, Citizen Sonny?
30|23:44:18 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: No, Leader... I was just... presenting all the options...
30|23:44:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> beneath the gun-toting beats the heart of an ARTEEST ;_;
30|23:44:21 <@Lori-R-MET-1> @clerk: hey, is the rest of my stuff here yet?
30|23:44:22 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Good.
30|23:44:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> (wait who gives up what did I misread that?)
30|23:45:53 <@Jinx> Clerk: Here's everything you requested. 6 Laser Rifles, 18 RED laser rifle barrels, three Plasma Shotguns, 30 ECM grenades, 5 Stun Grenades, 4 Net Grenades, 1 Neurostunner, 4 Nerve Gas Grenades, 5 H.E.H.E.s
30|23:46:02  * Lori-R-MET-1 takes her stuff
30|23:46:22 <@Jinx> Clerk: And your standard equipment sorted by Duty.
30|23:46:32 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Very good.
30|23:46:42 <@Lori-R-MET-1> 5 ECM, Las-Rifle, 3 barrels, 5 ECM, Medkit, 4 nervegas, 5 hehes
30|23:46:43 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~takes rifle, 3 barrels, shotgun, loyalty transcript, geiger counter, nightvision goggles, gas mask~
30|23:47:24 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Who gets the Plasma Shotguns, Jia?
30|23:47:30 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Now, one more question... "she reads his nametag" Vincent-R...
30|23:47:48 <@Jinx> "Jia-R motions to Cleo, Pauline."
30|23:47:56 <@Jinx> Clerk: Yes, ma'am?
30|23:48:06  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 squees!
30|23:48:18  * Lori-R-MET-1 smiles at Cleo-R
30|23:48:36 <@Lori-R-MET-1> hopefully we will get your gauntlet too soon!
30|23:48:50 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Were you aware, before you sold our equipment, that the testing was to be carried out by Troubleshooters? Were you, in fact, somehow hoping to sabotage our mission?
30|23:48:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> Lenora Beautiqua III, Esquire!
30|23:48:58 <@Jinx> "The Clerk freezes."
30|23:49:12 <@Jinx> Jia-R: You really don't want to lie, believe me.
30|23:49:26 <@Lori-R-MET-1> oo
30|23:49:29 <@Jinx> Clerk: I-I...
30|23:49:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> what
30|23:49:54 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> do you
30|23:49:55 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> know?
30|23:49:57 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> >:\
30|23:50:02 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: You would stand in the way of our completion of our mission?
30|23:50:19 <@Jinx> Clerk: Please! If I...
30|23:50:24 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> AND do so by means which implicate both you and the buyers as traitors...
30|23:50:26 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Do we have to call the computer and report that your treason is even GREATER?
30|23:50:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> we can play badcop-worsecop if you WANAN
30|23:50:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> WANNA*
30|23:50:40 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> (way to defuse my own awesome)
30|23:51:02 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (sorry, didnt see it coming)
30|23:51:02 <@Jinx> "At that moment an announcement comes over the speakers, instructing the INFRAREDs in the Depot to point at Vincent-R and shake their heads disapprovingly all at once."
30|23:51:30 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> O_o
30|23:51:33 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ...
30|23:51:36 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~blinks~
30|23:51:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> haven't heard THAT one in a while
30|23:51:42 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Oh... Friend Computer is being benevolent. Your punishment seems to be merely a public hating for now.
30|23:51:47 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (....what?)
30|23:51:59 <@Jinx> Jia-R: However, you must understand that it is our duty to identify traitors as well as corruption.
30|23:52:12 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: DID you KNOW?
30|23:53:08 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Surely you would report any Traitors you encounterd, rather than being in league with them!
30|23:53:16 <@Jinx> Clerk (sobbing): Yes! Yes! I knew, but I don't know WHY the person who told me to sabotage you did! You have to believe me, I've been terrified this whole time! All I knew was that if I did as I was told I would get paid well and if I didn't I could die! Please!
30|23:53:35 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Who told you?
30|23:53:37 <@Jinx> Clerk: I really just don't want any trouble! I-
30|23:53:46 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Just tell us who told you.
30|23:53:49 <@Jinx> Clerk: I... I can't say...
30|23:53:56 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Why not?
30|23:54:05 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Because then they'd try to kill you, isn't it?
30|23:54:10 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Ok!  We will inform the computer of your level of cooperation
30|23:54:12 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Because that would be admitting that he was a member of a Secret Society.
30|23:54:40 <@Jinx> Jia-R: And even if Friend Computer did not have him terminated, someone in his Society would...
30|23:54:49 <@Lori-R-MET-1> mm
30|23:54:56 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Unfortunate he would place loyalty to the computer second..
30|23:55:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> when the Computer could offer some degree of protection, if he behaves
30|23:55:14 <@Jinx> Clerk: I'm not! I-I'm not in any Society! I just was doing this for--
30|23:55:30 <@Lori-R-MET-1> Do you think his society would protect him if he didnt?
30|23:55:32 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Pauline? Is he telling the truth?
30|23:55:36 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> (public hating?)
30|23:55:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> (this game is AWESOME)
30|23:55:55 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: does it matter? He already confessed to a Termination level offense.
30|23:56:05 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> nice to know!
30|23:56:05 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> (VERY)
30|23:56:14 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Permission to test my Plasma Shotgun, Leader.
30|23:56:20 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (well YEAH)
30|23:56:20 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Hey, if we can find out more traitors, better
30|23:56:23 <@Jinx> Clerk: Wait no!
30|23:56:25 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (OOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
30|23:56:31 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Granted.
30|23:56:35 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> *______*
30|23:56:41 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~stands back and watches intently~
30|23:56:42  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 hurriedly noms chips
30|23:56:46 <@Lori-R-MET-1> I think Cleo would be most happy to be able to do it, herself
30|23:57:02  * Lori-R-MET-1 's eyes water a little from standing too close to the chips
30|23:57:06 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R levels the weapon at the clerk, and smiles at him gently, in a charming, almost motherly way."
30|23:57:14  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 is fine with watching
30|23:57:16 <@Lori-R-MET-1> kk
30|23:57:28 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: I would be sorry, however execution of traitors is a wonderful thing.
30|23:57:31 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> how do you EAT those things, Cleo?
30|23:57:31 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> my mouth!
30|23:57:37 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> it blisters like your soooooul is about to!

30|23:58:15 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (R: AND FULL OF WIN ALL OVER FOREVER)
30|23:58:25 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> (YES INDEED)
30|23:58:31 <@Jinx> "The weapon fires, literally tearing through Vincent-R's body with streaks of plasma, each 'pellet' cauterizing as it does so, leaving a very perforated corpse, and some scorch marks on the wall twenty feet behind."
30|23:58:38 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (~R HIGHFIVES EEEVERYONEEEEEEE~)
30|23:58:42 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Powerful thing.
30|23:58:47 <@Lori-R-MET-1> indeed.
30|23:58:49 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Good to know.
30|23:58:55 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> the end, good night

30|23:59:09 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Nice to see the thing is safe
30|23:59:10  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 reverently offers Pauline some chips, indicating the flavour first

30|23:59:58 <@Jinx> "As if on cue, the room bursts into cheers and applause, followed by a rousing loyalty song as the team makes their exit."
31|00:00:17 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> do you do you want some hot chips to match the burning passion in your heart?
31|00:00:27 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> nice to see the singalong agents are doing well
31|00:00:50 <@Jinx> "Again almost in unison, the INFRAREDs decline, most of them muttering about how Hot Stuff flavor is beyond their clearance."
31|00:00:57  * Lori-R-MET-1 grins as she wanders out
31|00:01:14 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> (that was for Pauline ;_;)
31|00:01:20 <@Jinx> (ok, we went WAY over time, we'd better stop or no one will get anything they planned done)

31|00:01:36 <@Lori-R-MET-1> I WIN
31|00:01:41 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> (CAN PAULINE ACCEPT HER CHIPS FIRST)
31|00:01:41 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> a win condition
31|00:01:42 <@Lori-R-MET-1> BEST. PARANOIA. EVER.
31|00:01:56  * Lori-R-MET-1 glee
31|00:02:26 <@Jinx> "Pauline-R takes a chip and munches, her eyes water almost instantly."
31|00:02:36 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> ARE YOU OKAY
31|00:02:46 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I mean I KNOW the label says they're hot but MAN they're hot
31|00:02:51 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Are you mocking me?
31|00:02:59 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> no, no!
31|00:03:04 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Why would you GIVE me that?!
31|00:03:15  * Lori-R-MET-1 eats some jello on a chunk of apple
31|00:03:22 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I pointed to the label!!
31|00:03:22  * Lori-R-MET-1 makes a face
31|00:03:24 <@Jinx> "She pants, eyes still watering."
31|00:03:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> I don't understand!
31|00:03:36  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 noms another handful
31|00:03:44 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: I've never had those before, how should I know they're--
31|00:03:55 <@Lori-R-MET-1> hehehehe)[1~(
31|00:04:00 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (hehehehehe)*
31|00:04:23 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~grins~
31|00:04:30 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: You really should register that Subduance ability, Cleo-R, hiding mutant abilities is treason.
31|00:04:35 <@Jinx> "She smiles charmingly."
31|00:04:44 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Wait, what?
31|00:04:53 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: Just joking, just joking...
31|00:04:58 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (whatis subduance?)
31|00:05:12 <@Jinx> "She looks dead serious, though, and stares calmly into Cleo-R's eyes."
31|00:05:42 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> (~nuzzles Lori~)
31|00:05:50 <@Jinx> Jia-R: Oh, I get it, haha, you're saying she can eat them because she's got Subduance... haha... good one.
31|00:05:53  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 opens her mouth, to try and note that no ability is in effect
31|00:06:16 <@Jinx> Pauline-R: A little 'mutant humour'. Sorry, I guess it doesn't go over as well with normal Citizens.
31|00:06:38 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (whatis subduance?)
31|00:07:18 <@Jinx> (basically the ability to put out fires, cool down heated things, 'de-excite' molecules, etc... short version, 'Cryokinesis')
31|00:07:30 <@Lori-R-MET-1> aha
31|00:07:46  * Cleo-R-ARC-1 just likes hot stuff ;_;
31|00:08:16 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Well... right... I suppose we should... head for the Deployment area... anyone remember where it was? I didn't... note it. I was busy dealing with the equipment loadout.
31|00:08:20 <@Lori-R-MET-1> (hehe)
31|00:08:22 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Cargo, UNB.
31|00:08:37 <@Lori-R-MET-1> And we're being delivered in an armored vehicle..
31|00:08:41 <@Lori-R-MET-1> what IS going on here?
31|00:08:49 <@Marie-O-NOM-2> it's going on ?
31|00:08:59 <@Jinx> Jia-R: yes. We'll take the tubes to UNB sector and get prepped there.
31|00:09:01 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> why WOULD it be sabotaged?
31|00:09:03 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~pats plasma shotgun~ whatever it is, we're probably ready for it.
31|00:09:11 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ...
31|00:09:13 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> hopefully.
31|00:09:14 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: SOME of us are more ready than others.
31|00:09:26 <@Jinx> Jia-R: I don't like your attitude, Citizen.
31|00:09:36 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> he looks unhappy, Lori!
31|00:09:42 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> Remediate the situation immediately!
31|00:09:42 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: I just meant...
31|00:09:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC-1> maybe if I breathe my CHIP BREATH on them...
31|00:09:54  * Lori-R-MET-1 offers [really just offers] a mild happydrug
31|00:10:20 <@Jinx> "Jia-R watches, Pauline-R again smiles, that charming, creepy smile."
31|00:10:37 <@Jinx> Sonny-R: Of course, of course... I just... need to calm down...
31|00:10:40 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> ~eyes Pauline-R quizzically~
31|00:10:45 <@Jinx> "He pops the pill without hesitation."
31|00:11:19 <@Jinx> Jia-R: I'm sure you're just on EDGE from having your duty thwarted by that horrible traitor in there, Sonny-R. Let's get going, alright?
31|00:11:24 <@Jinx> (end Scene)
31|00:11:58 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> alright
31|00:12:00 <@Martin-R-QUE-1> that was nice
31|00:12:12 <@Lori-R-MET-1> whee

31|00:19:24 <@Lori> hm
31|00:19:29 <@Lori> was there a clone number on that dude's nametag>?
31|00:20:41 <@Jinx> no, nametags do not show the number.
31|00:20:45 <@Lori> awww
31|00:22:28 <@Kyuukei> he'll probably just be wiped permanently anyway
31|00:22:28 <@Marie> permanently
31|00:23:20 <@Jinx> well I can assure you that he certainly won't be Vincent 'R' anymore
31|00:23:25 <@Lori> indeed
31|00:23:28 <@Kyuukei> ol
31|00:23:30 <@Kyuukei> lol*
31|00:23:46 <@Kyuukei> hopefully we get promotions and are no longer R in the opposite manner ;-;
31|00:23:56 <@Lori> indeed!
31|00:24:49 <@Vinushka> mhmmm
31|00:25:25 <@Jinx> still, it'd have been fun to see what happened with 'unbalanced weaponry'.
31|00:25:34 <@Lori> mhm

16|02:10:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC> most direct route is always best!

16|02:14:11 <@Martin-R-QUE> wonder what they're being "calmed" for though
16|02:14:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> perhaps that may affect the tubes' status
16|02:14:38 <@Bell> Pauline-R: hmf...
16|02:15:08 <@Bell> Sonny-R: I'm sure we won't have any trouble dealing with this!
16|02:15:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> allow me!
16|02:15:31 <@Bell> Jia-R: Just don't shoot anyone.
16|02:15:34  * Cleo-R-ARC whips out one bag of chips and starts to nom, carefully weaving through the crowd
16|02:15:50 <@Lori-R-MET> (lol)
16|02:15:55 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (logically, the scent should repulse them away)
16|02:16:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC> got it, boss!
16|02:16:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> (even more because they aren't cleared to eat them)
16|02:16:49 <@Lori-R-MET> (is the scent that effective?)
16|02:16:57 <@Bell> "The pushing and shoving INFRAREDs seem unaffected by Cleo-R's presence, but oddly this also allows her to just shove right through them, as she is not going in the same direction as them anyway"
16|02:17:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (these things are bags of jalapenos)
16|02:17:24 <@Bell> "Pauline-R notes this, shrugs, and elbows her way through the crowd similarly"
16|02:17:36  * Cleo-R-ARC stores the rest of that bag for later.
16|02:17:43  * Lori-R-MET follows
16|02:18:02 <@Bell> "Sonny-R follows, greeting people cheerily and with great politeness even as he elbows a few in the ribs"
16|02:18:17 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (asshole)
16|02:18:27 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (I do not trust him >.>)
16|02:18:46 <@Bell> (he's hopped up on Gelgernine right now, hehe)
16|02:18:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC> um, excuuuuse me!
16|02:18:55 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (potent shit?)
16|02:19:01 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Mister GREENs?
16|02:19:13 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~shoves people off him and follows~
16|02:19:17 <@Marie-O-NOM> i'm off
16|02:19:27 <@Lori-R-MET> (~nuzz marie~)
16|02:19:31 <@Lori-R-MET> (You are awesome)
16|02:19:41 <@Bell> GREEN Goon: Whaddya want?
16|02:20:08 <@Bell> Other GREEN: We're busy, RED, make it quick.
16|02:20:19 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I and my group are on a rather high-profile mission, assigned by some INDIGOs, and were wondering if we could use the tubes?
16|02:20:55 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we just need to get to a transport.
16|02:21:15 <@Bell> GREEN 1: Tubes are fine, this bunch is clamoring cause they heard some big vidshow star is coming through here and they want to see them
16|02:21:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ohhh
16|02:21:25 <@Bell> GREEN 2: Where you all need to get?
16|02:21:50 <@Lori-R-MET> ~identifies sector~
16|02:22:18 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (where IS the transport itself located?)
16|02:22:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> UNB
16|02:22:37 <@Bell> "GREEN 2 flips open her PDC and makes a call."
16|02:22:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (yeah just rechecked >.>)
16|02:23:04 <@Bell> GREEN 2: Transtube car for y'all will be here in two minutes. Go stand over there out of the way.
16|02:23:07 <@Marie-O-NOM> the car
16|02:23:14  * Cleo-R-ARC nods and complies
16|02:23:18 <@Cleo-R-ARC> thanks!
16|02:23:31 <@Martin-R-QUE> okay, thank you!
16|02:23:37 <@Bell> "GREEN 1 zaps a rather loud INFRARED with a Neurostunner, causing them to collapse on the platform, convulsing."
16|02:23:37 <@Lori-R-MET> k!
16|02:23:43 <@Lori-R-MET> oo
16|02:23:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> ooh nice
16|02:23:53 <@Bell> Jia-R: I love those things.
16|02:23:58  * Cleo-R-ARC eyes the Neurostunner
16|02:24:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> *_*
16|02:24:05 <@Cleo-R-ARC> shiny!
16|02:24:27 <@Cleo-R-ARC> one time I zapped myself while nuzzling one
16|02:24:29 <@Cleo-R-ARC> that wasn't very fun
16|02:24:33 <@Lori-R-MET> (~try to rememebr whcih party member has one~)
16|02:24:54 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Excuse me, Citizen! Would you like some help calming the crowd?
16|02:25:06 <@Bell> GREEN 2: We got it covered. Go stand where I told you.
16|02:25:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (how many points DOES this guy have in bootlicking anyway?)
16|02:25:18 <@Lori-R-MET> (not enough apparently)
16|02:25:25 <@Martin-R-QUE> (actually we're better of ELIMINATING the crowd with our weaponry >_> )
16|02:25:32 <@Bell> Sonny-R: But SURELY you could use a few minutes reprieve from your task!
16|02:25:41 <@Bell> GREEN 2: Can it, RED. Go stand where I told you.
16|02:25:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> Sonny-R, it is best if you follow orders.
16|02:25:56 <@Lori-R-MET> (DEFINITELY not enough)
16|02:25:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> now stand here and stop bothering him, it's only making his job harder
16|02:26:04 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Sonny, I have put the chips away, we're fine
16|02:26:15 <@Cleo-R-ARC> also our transport will be here in probably less than a minute now
16|02:26:15 <@Bell> Sonny-R: I'm SURE you-- wait... what? Chips?
16|02:26:25 <@Bell> Jia-R: Sonny. Now.
16|02:26:33 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Yes ma'am.
16|02:27:01  * Cleo-R-ARC licks the jalapeno powder off of her fingertips
16|02:27:04 <@Bell> "Sonny-R strolls over to his assigned standing spot, whistling cheerily."
16|02:27:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC> how DO they manage to keep making these things if nobody but me likes them...?
16|02:27:39 <@Cleo-R-ARC> oh well, can't complain!
16|02:27:40 <@Bell> Jia-R: Note to self: Another good reason not to give Sonny a gun.
16|02:28:01 <@Bell> Pauline-R: They keep making Strawberry-Lobster and no one likes THEM either.
16|02:28:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Strawberry...
16|02:28:15 <@Cleo-R-ARC> 'lobster'?
16|02:28:18 <@Martin-R-QUE> THAT SOUNDS DELICIOUS
16|02:28:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> does it play tennis?
16|02:28:58 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (on that note Natsume has been training with a Twin-Cannon Skyterror that launches tennis balls very, very fast)
16|02:29:11 <@Bell> Pauline-R: It's a flavor, Cleo. I'd try to explain what it tastes like but I don't really understand. I just know that if it is two tastes put together, they were NEVER MEANT TO BE.
16|02:29:44 <@Lori-R-MET> ~eats anothe rbit of jello-on-apple~
16|02:29:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> I need to get some of those
16|02:30:02 <@Bell> "A shining, immaculate transtube speeds up to the platform."
16|02:30:04 <@Lori-R-MET> (I should try this!)
16|02:30:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> !!!
16|02:30:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> our tube has arrived!
16|02:30:24 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and it doesn't look nausiating!
16|02:30:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> it is a glorious tube
16|02:30:29 <@Bell> "The crowd instantly assumes this must be carrying their star, and move in a mob toward it!"
16|02:30:36 <@Marie-O-NOM> just look at this time i'm cool with mist
16|02:30:48 <@Bell> GREEN 2: BACK, DAMMIT, this isn't even FOR you all!
16|02:30:59 <@Cleo-R-ARC> STOP!!
16|02:31:05 <@Cleo-R-ARC> IT'S FOR US!
16|02:31:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sighs~
16|02:31:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> jia, should we brandish our shotguns at them? seems an effective method of keeping them back >_>
16|02:31:30 <@Bell> "The crowd ignores this, surrounding the boarding area and chanting the name of Maxwell-O-DNL."
16|02:31:41  * Cleo-R-ARC sniffs, then cautiously approaches the tube
16|02:31:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> you aren't gonna spit out a mob TOO, are you?
16|02:32:05 <@Bell> "GREEN 1 zaps a few more with the Neurostunner but there are nearly sixty INFRAREDs"
16|02:32:52 <@Lori-R-MET> ~stands abck, watches chaos, munching applo~
16|02:33:12  * Cleo-R-ARC sighs and takes out her half-eaten bag of chips, wadding it up a bit and trapping air inside
16|02:33:17 <@Cleo-R-ARC> DON'T make me do this.
16|02:33:24 <@Marie-O-NOM> ill make it look tons better
16|02:33:27 <@Lori-R-MET> O_o
16|02:33:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC> JIA! PERMISSION TO SHOOT MY CHIPS?
16|02:33:47 <@Bell> Jia-R: Shoot?
16|02:34:09 <@Lori-R-MET> I dnot know if chaos would make the grens very happy
16|02:34:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC> if I toss this into the air and shoot it, the scent will disperse into the crowd like tear gas.
16|02:34:23 <@Marie-O-NOM> you are different scent than cold water thing
16|02:34:25 <@Lori-R-MET> o_O
16|02:34:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> in fact scarily like tear gas
16|02:34:28 <@Bell> Jia-R: Don't we already HAVE Nerve Gas?
16|02:34:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC> don't you want to use something BETTER?
16|02:34:40 <@Marie-O-NOM> v better
16|02:34:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> well we're being economical you see
16|02:34:42 <@Lori-R-MET> The greens will NOT be happy about this...
16|02:34:45 <@Cleo-R-ARC> oh wait the chips are more important
16|02:34:51 <@Lori-R-MET> Let's let them do their job!
16|02:34:56 <@Lori-R-MET> They are good at it, thats why they're GREEN!
16|02:34:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> let's HELP them
16|02:35:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> they look like they can't handle it at this pace
16|02:35:25 <@Lori-R-MET> The computer trusts them
16|02:35:39 <@Lori-R-MET> so I trust them too
16|02:35:58 <@Bell> Jia-R: Friend Computer trusts US too. We aren't exactly fully prepared for everything either, are we now?
16|02:36:05 <@Lori-R-MET> [how long till the tube departs?]
16|02:36:15 <@Marie-O-NOM> might ahve been prepared at all emo on us ? i can update live
16|02:36:16 <@Lori-R-MET> [is it actually our tube?]
16|02:36:23 <@Bell> (tube actually won't depart until you all are loaded into it, and yes, it is yours)
16|02:36:27 <@Lori-R-MET> [k]
16|02:36:44 <@Lori-R-MET> True!
16|02:36:47 <@Lori-R-MET> We were sabotaged!
16|02:36:57 <@Lori-R-MET> I hope they werent sabotaged
16|02:37:00  * Cleo-R-ARC sighs, lovingly takes some chips out of the bag, then tosses it into the air above the crowd and shoots it with a RED bolt
16|02:37:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh crap
16|02:37:08 <@Bell> Jia-R: HEY! GREEN CITIZEN! Permission to use N--
16|02:37:10 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~covers his face~
16|02:37:19 <@Cleo-R-ARC> GET IN GET IN!
16|02:37:26  * Lori-R-MET flee into tube
16|02:37:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~dashes into the tube~
16|02:37:35 <@Bell> "Shrieks of pain issue from the crowd of INFRAREDs as they scatter."
16|02:37:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC> you should be fine back her, GREEN citizens!
16|02:37:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC> e*
16|02:37:56 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Shouldn't we have warned the GREENs before doing that?
16|02:38:05 <@Lori-R-MET> ("All future production of these chips are now GREEN label")
16|02:38:19 <@Cleo-R-ARC> it's ok it's very concentrated on the center of the impact
16|02:38:48 <@Bell> "He notes that they too are reacting to the flood of chip particles, though really just by flipping their visors down."
16|02:39:05 <@Cleo-R-ARC> eh, we're good
16|02:39:09  * Cleo-R-ARC steps into the tube
16|02:39:09 <@Bell> GREEN 2: Nice work! Better than gas, we didn't have masks. Move it!
16|02:39:22  * Cleo-R-ARC salutes the GREEN
16|02:39:24 <@Lori-R-MET> (COOL)
16|02:39:25 <@Cleo-R-ARC> all in a day's work!
16|02:39:39 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and it worked better than *I* thought too!
16|02:39:39 <@Bell> "Pauline and Jia scramble into the tube, dragging Sonny."
16|02:39:40  * Lori-R-MET info tube
16|02:39:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (I am so damn awesome.)\
16|02:39:55  * Lori-R-MET highfive Cleo-R-ARC once entered
16|02:39:57 <@Lori-R-MET> That was aweome
16|02:39:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> (your chips are)
16|02:40:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> (and now I want strawberry lobster)
16|02:40:08 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (chips are only as good as the consumer)
16|02:40:22 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~grins~ well, that went over well
16|02:40:22 <@Bell> "The tubecar door slides shut and they are whisked away with the tiniest of lurches before a smooth ride ensues."
16|02:40:31  * Cleo-R-ARC preens herself in the tube
16|02:40:45 <@Cleo-R-ARC> oh yeah
16|02:40:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> go Cleo
16|02:40:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and her chips
16|02:40:50 <@Cleo-R-ARC> them too
16|02:40:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC> go Cleo
16|02:41:08 <@Bell> "Jia-R sits and exhales a sigh."
16|02:41:21 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~breathes a sigh of relief~
16|02:41:28 <@Martin-R-QUE> ah...so empty...so CLEAN
16|02:41:31 <@Martin-R-QUE> how very nice
16|02:41:32  * Cleo-R-ARC slowly noms on one chip
16|02:41:35 <@Bell> Pauline-R: Transbot, what is our e.t.a.?
16|02:41:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC> initiating conservation mode!
16|02:42:00 <@Bell> Transbot: Arrival at UNB Cargo Sector deployment station will be in 13.44 minutes.
16|02:42:12 <@Lori-R-MET> ~looka t watch~
16|02:42:43 <@Bell> [Current Time: 14:07]
16|02:42:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Lori, you got some of the powder on your hand, I advise removing that.
16|02:42:52 <@Lori-R-MET> (k)
16|02:42:59 <@Lori-R-MET> Oh! thankyou
16|02:43:04  * Lori-R-MET brushes it off
16|02:43:22  * Cleo-R-ARC resumes preening
16|02:43:24 <@Cleo-R-ARC> *_*
16|02:43:28 <@Martin-R-QUE> can I have one chip?
16|02:43:32 <@Lori-R-MET> Are you sure?
16|02:43:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> No.
16|02:43:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> okay
16|02:43:35 <@Lori-R-MET> They are kinda hot it looks like
16|02:43:35 <@Bell> Jia-R: Alright, quick review while no one's badgering us.
16|02:43:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC> You may not.
16|02:43:59 <@Bell> Jia-R: Someone doesn't want this sector reopened.
16|02:44:08 <@Lori-R-MET> I wonder why not..
16|02:44:24 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I assume the celebrity they thought they saw was a decoy, planted to slow us down
16|02:44:28 <@Bell> Jia-R: I don't care why not, I care about if they're going to be any more 'direct' about stopping us.
16|02:44:36 <@Lori-R-MET> True
16|02:45:49 <@Bell> Jia-R: So let's think about it quickly, just in case someone at UNB is less than 'cooperative' too
16|02:46:02 <@Bell> Jia-R: Why would anyone want to KEEP a sector closed?
16|02:46:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> to keep it to themselves
16|02:46:13 <@Martin-R-QUE> well, for one we have the nuclear meltdown
16|02:46:21 <@Lori-R-MET> but.. i.. just?
16|02:46:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> SOMETHING interesting went down as a result of the reaction
16|02:46:29 <@Cleo-R-ARC> or perhaps there's something that was hidden there before it
16|02:46:31 <@Lori-R-MET> I hope the REACTION wasnt planned!
16|02:46:31 <@Martin-R-QUE> second, there's nothing but robots there
16|02:46:35 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and they want dibs
16|02:46:44 <@Martin-R-QUE> so one can easily take it over
16|02:46:47 <@Martin-R-QUE> clandestinely
16|02:46:56 <@Bell> Jia-R: Not what I meant. Sorry, bad question.
16|02:47:07 <@Bell> Jia-R: WHO would have a reason to keep a sector closed?
16|02:47:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh.
16|02:47:16 <@Bell> Jia-R: Like I said I don't PARTICULARLY care why
16|02:47:24 <@Martin-R-QUE> well, I have no idea
16|02:47:34 <@Lori-R-MET> Someone who's interested in what's there
16|02:47:42 <@Marie-O-NOM> i see that interested
16|02:47:45 <@Lori-R-MET> WHat's in this sector other than malfunctioning bots and a broken reactor though..
16|02:47:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> and if someone's interested enough to do such a thing
16|02:47:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> we should expect high-clearance and perhaps high-influence
16|02:48:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> so we will probably get stopped. again.
16|02:48:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> if not repeatedly.
16|02:48:19 <@Cleo-R-ARC> not to worry, my chips will see us through
16|02:48:25 <@Lori-R-MET> Do yo uhave more?
16|02:48:26 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I still have a whole 'nother bag.
16|02:48:26 <@Lori-R-MET> I hope so
16|02:48:27 <@Marie-O-NOM> who had chips and cheese omelet !
16|02:48:29 <@Lori-R-MET> Good!
16|02:48:29 <@Bell> Pauline-R: Whoever it is has enough control over information to incite a crowd of INFRAREDs
16|02:48:34 <@Marie-O-NOM> hope it will almost always works
16|02:48:40 <@Lori-R-MET> indeed
16|02:48:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC> but not enough to stop superheated chip particles hrhr
16|02:48:56 <@Lori-R-MET> and to pressure the clerk, through his secret society or otherwise
16|02:49:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> somebody planted a seed...
16|02:49:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> it might not even have been somebody higher-up directly
16|02:49:36 <@Bell> Jia-R: That's a good point. It probably IS a Secret Society rather than some corrupt service firm... Vincent-R was pretty obvious about it.
16|02:49:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> just send a cronie to spread the word that their Celeb is showing up and word spreads fast
16|02:49:47 <@Marie-O-NOM> it too spread out
16|02:49:55 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and that way, there's less risk of getting caught
16|02:50:00 <@Bell> Jia-R: But what society could handle info that easily?
16|02:50:13 <@Bell> Pauline-R: The Phreaks can, obviously...
16|02:50:14 <@Cleo-R-ARC> for all we know, it was someone that saw us walking OVER there, then beat us to it...
16|02:50:32 <@Bell> Pauline-R: I guess Free Enterprise could too...
16|02:50:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> hmm...
16|02:51:09 <@Martin-R-QUE> (hey lori could you link the paranoia manual? I lost it)
16|02:51:16 <@Bell> "Sonny-R is quiet, looking out the transtube window."
16|02:51:18 <@Lori-R-MET> k
16|02:51:38  * Cleo-R-ARC continues nibbling on her one chip, conserving it
16|02:51:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> all I got to spare was a handful...
16|02:51:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC> siiiigh
16|02:51:51 <@Martin-R-QUE> I applaud your valorous conservation efforts, Cleo
16|02:51:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> your sacrifice was worth it
16|02:52:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC> was it, Martin?
16|02:52:11 <@Lori-R-MET> ( f74c8ff25c6424d47ff8a61744ae9272.pdf )
16|02:52:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> actually, yeah
16|02:52:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC> probably
16|02:52:13 <@Lori-R-MET> er
16|02:52:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> (in other words get like a truckload of them next time)
16|02:52:19 <@Lori-R-MET> ( https://ithaca.twilightparadox.com/~irc/f74c8ff25c6424d47ff8a61744ae9272.pdf )
16|02:52:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (shit yeah)
16|02:52:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> ( I will do the same with strawberry lobster)
16|02:52:47 <@Bell> Jia-R: No ideas, Sonny-R?
16|02:52:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> (I hope the fishy smell is enough to be nerve gas-y)
16|02:52:56 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (just note that it will make less effective tear gas)
16|02:53:06 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Hmm? Oh... I'm sorry I wasn't listening... isn't it a WONDERFUL day?
16|02:53:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
16|02:53:11 <@Marie-O-NOM> that wonderful state
16|02:53:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (no, it's the burning of the eyes that does it)
16|02:53:13 <@Martin-R-QUE> cleo, what if we COMBINE our chips!
16|02:53:14 <@Bell> Jia-R: ...
16|02:53:19 <@Marie-O-NOM> make chips for him ?
16|02:53:29 <@Bell> Jia-R: SOMEONE clearly doesn't get Gelgernine very often.
16|02:53:35 <@Cleo-R-ARC> should I uncheer him with a chip...?
16|02:53:52 <@Lori-R-MET> I didnt give him that much..
16|02:53:58 <@Cleo-R-ARC> he may cause more trouble in his current state
16|02:54:02 <@Bell> Jia-R: He'll be fine, back to being his obnoxious self in an hour or two
16|02:54:16 <@Bell> Jia-R: In fact maybe it's better this way if we have to deal with anyone too serious at UNB...
16|02:54:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> yes, as long as he doesn't take too much initiative...
16|02:54:47 <@Martin-R-QUE> hmm...
16|02:54:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> actually
16|02:54:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> pro tech also sounds like a likely society
16|02:55:04 <@Marie-O-NOM> at least society doesn't care
16|02:55:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> what with their wish to control WMDs and all
16|02:55:11 <@Martin-R-QUE> perhaps they wish to, um, harness the reactor
16|02:55:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sighs~
16|02:55:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> what have we gotten ourselves into...
16|02:55:27 <@Bell> Pauline-R: That'd definitely be a reason... it'd also be REALLY BAD
16|02:55:37 <@Martin-R-QUE> I REALLY HOPE it's not that
16|02:55:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we must consider that we were assigned this mission by INDIGOs
16|02:55:59 <@Cleo-R-ARC> they know WAY more about it than what we do
16|02:56:12 <@Lori-R-MET> If that were the case the should have sent greens.
16|02:56:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and what they DO know is REALLY BIG to have gone through the trouble of setting this up
16|02:56:14 <@Bell> Jia-R: And heavily armed, or at least they INTENDED to heavily arm us...
16|02:56:23 <@Martin-R-QUE> and the engineers seemed a little...
16|02:56:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> twitchy about the place
16|02:56:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> didn't they?
16|02:56:37 <@Bell> Pauline-R: Twitchy?
16|02:57:03 <@Bell> Jia-R: Come to think of it they were a bit less enthusiastic about this than I would figure... I mean
16|02:57:14 <@Martin-R-QUE> yes, that
16|02:57:17 <@Bell> Jia-R: They're PROBABLY two out-of-work YELLOWS...
16|02:57:18 <@Martin-R-QUE> they acted a bit oddly
16|02:57:40 <@Bell> Jia-R: If someone told ME my cushy reactor supervisor job was reopening, I'd be happier about it than THAT
16|02:57:57 <@Lori-R-MET> Unless they feared it..
16|02:58:05 <@Lori-R-MET> Maybe someone was giving them trouble before the mess too
16|02:58:19 <@Lori-R-MET> or threatened them
16|02:58:24 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and what of the people they SOLD our weapons to?
16|02:58:30 <@Cleo-R-ARC> how much did they know...?
16|02:58:40 <@Bell> Sonny-R: You all are being WAY too worried about this... it'll be FINE...
16|02:58:41 <@Cleo-R-ARC> surely they were thorough enough to check their sources
16|02:58:52 <@Bell> Sonny-R: If you see something that shouldn't be there, shoot it.
16|02:59:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
16|02:59:06 <@Cleo-R-ARC> for once, Sonny, you say something I agree completely with
16|02:59:12 <@Lori-R-MET> I'm more worried IT will see ME.
16|02:59:15 <@Bell> Sonny-R: If you see something that should, shoot it with the multicorder instead and pose next to it
16|02:59:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> I can't say I agree completely
16|02:59:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> but that's pretty good
16|02:59:22 <@Cleo-R-ARC> um....
16|02:59:25 <@Bell> Sonny-R: And we all go home happy and get paid
16|02:59:26 <@Cleo-R-ARC> scratch that
16|02:59:37 <@Martin-R-QUE> oka yI'm a bit less enthusiastic about that one
16|02:59:41 <@Martin-R-QUE> as I'm sure pauline is >_>
16|03:00:07 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Pauline, I must apologize for my inadvertent damage to your tongue earlier
16|03:00:12 <@Bell> Transbot: Now arriving at UNB Cargo Station.
16|03:00:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I didn't realize how DANGEROUS these things were
16|03:00:23  * Cleo-R-ARC nibblenibble
16|03:00:55 <@Bell> "The transtube car slows to a halt."
16|03:01:14 <@Martin-R-QUE> ah. we appear to have arrived.
16|03:01:21 <@Bell> Transbot: I hope you had a pleasant journey. Please disembark immediately. Make sure you have all your belongings.
16|03:01:21 <@Martin-R-QUE> and now we have to look for our transport
16|03:01:23 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (Cleo Pauline shipping go)
16|03:01:28 <@Martin-R-QUE> and, hopefully...we won't be stopped
16|03:01:31  * Lori-R-MET looks around and gets off
16|03:01:36  * Cleo-R-ARC makes sure she has all her belongings
16|03:01:41 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~walks off, whistling~
16|03:01:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> be careful not to drop any chips, cleo
16|03:01:54  * Cleo-R-ARC sniffs the jalapeno-scented air then walks off also
16|03:02:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> the rest are in my bag, i'm good
16|03:03:23 <@Bell> "The team disembarks and the transtube car speeds off."
16|03:04:33 <@Bell> "Pauline-R flicks out her PDC."
16|03:04:39 <@Lori-R-MET> OK!
16|03:04:42 <@Lori-R-MET> Where to now?
16|03:05:12 <@Bell> Pauline-R: Friend Computer, we have arrived at UNB sector, are there any updates to our mission parameters or should we just proceed to the main Cargo station?
16|03:05:13  * Lori-R-MET looks at Jia-R
16|03:05:20 <@Lori-R-MET> [^undo]
16|03:06:57 <@Bell> Computer: There are no updates, Citizen Pauline-R-DET. You may however note that the individuals reported as having purchased your equipment have been located and terminated. This will count toward your mission profile and bonus. Please keep up the good work!
16|03:07:03 <@Marie-O-NOM> is conveniently located
16|03:07:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ('-')b
16|03:07:23 <@Bell> "Pauline-R returns Cleo-R's thumbs up."
16|03:07:33 <@Lori-R-MET> cool!
16|03:07:40 <@Bell> Pauline-R: understood, Friend Computer, we will proceed immediately.
16|03:07:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC> thank you, friend computer (and Pauline)!
16|03:08:14 <@Bell> "Pauline-R takes out the multicorder and fiddles with it."
16|03:08:34 <@Lori-R-MET> Alright! lets go!
16|03:08:44 <@Bell> "Sonny-R watches her carefully."
16|03:09:02 <@Bell> Pauline-R: After you all, as always.
16|03:09:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (I so hope I get to use my second bag this session)
16|03:09:28  * Lori-R-MET walks alongside as before
16|03:09:30 <@Lori-R-MET> (lol)
16|03:09:31 <@Lori-R-MET> (yes)
16|03:09:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~writes down a note in his loyalty report:
16|03:09:52 <@Bell> Pauline-R: No no, Lori-R, please walk with the others, I'm beginning the mission documentary.
16|03:09:56 <@Lori-R-MET> Oh ok!
16|03:10:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> "Citizen Cleo-R-ARC is very creative in weapons use."~
16|03:10:38 <@Bell> "Pauline-R trains the camera on the group and begins to record, introducing each member briefly and detailing their current situation."
16|03:10:43 <@Cleo-R-ARC> *_*
16|03:10:46 <@Bell> "The walk is uneventful."
16|03:11:51 <@Bell> Pauline-R: And here we are at the main Cargo station at the edge of UNB sector, where we will be assigned an armored transport to take us into Sector UIP. Of course, this is just to act as our base, there should be no problems in the sector!"
16|03:12:31 <@Bell> "Pauline-R flicks off the multicorder and makes a face."
16|03:12:40 <@Cleo-R-ARC> mm>
16|03:12:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ?*
16|03:12:49 <@Bell> Pauline-R: None of your bu--
16|03:12:55 <@Bell> Pauline-R: Sorry...
16|03:13:06 <@Cleo-R-ARC> iz fine!
16|03:13:07 <@Bell> Pauline-R: You wouldn't understand, it's... a mutant thing.
16|03:13:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ah...
16|03:13:24 <@Martin-R-QUE> conditioned, isn't it?
16|03:13:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> it's alright
16|03:13:53  * Cleo-R-ARC pats lightly
16|03:14:04 <@Cleo-R-ARC> when we get back, I will procure some chips that you will actually like
16|03:14:09 <@Bell> Pauline-R: No... I don't always control my power directly... the feeling I get when someone is lying is this bitter greasy feeling in my throat.
16|03:14:20 <@Bell> Pauline-R: Guess how much worse that is when the someone lying is me.
16|03:14:27 <@Lori-R-MET> ew
16|03:14:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ohh...
16|03:14:30 <@Lori-R-MET> that must suck
16|03:14:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> aghhh.
16|03:14:43 <@Lori-R-MET> (!! ~medicine~)
16|03:15:08 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Yeah sounds rough, you should just have had your powers suppressed.
16|03:15:16 <@Bell> "Pauline-R glares at him."
16|03:15:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~ponders elbowing sonny-R~
16|03:15:36 <@Cleo-R-ARC> what kind of chips DO you like...?
16|03:15:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we... get a lot of weird ones, don't we -_-
16|03:15:53 <@Bell> Jia-R: That isn't going to be good for you, considering we may be lying through our teeth this whole mission...
16|03:16:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> especially considering our situation
16|03:16:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sigh~
16|03:16:35 <@Bell> Pauline-R: Maybe I'll just edit in commentary later...
16|03:16:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> I think that'd be best
16|03:16:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> you can't really tell the difference, can you?
16|03:17:15 <@Lori-R-MET> You might as well do it now?
16|03:17:27 <@Lori-R-MET> I cant imagine what it would be like if yo uhad to do that STRAIGHT
16|03:17:32 <@Lori-R-MET> best to do it a bit at a time, no?
16|03:17:41 <@Lori-R-MET> so you get breaks and dont do as much
16|03:17:42 <@Bell> "The team enters the building, to find an ORANGE in a similarly colored 'trenchcoat' giving orders to a huge warehouse full of workers."
16|03:18:10 <@Bell> "She turns to them and approaches quickly."
16|03:18:31  * Cleo-R-ARC sighs at a missed cartwheel opportunity
16|03:18:35 <@Bell> Mallory-O: You all the team? What am I asking, of course you're the team...
16|03:18:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~glares at Cleo~
16|03:18:47  * Cleo-R-ARC nods to Mallory
16|03:18:49 <@Bell> Mallory-O: Your ride is over there
16|03:18:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> right, and we're here because of the -okay
16|03:18:57 <@Marie-O-NOM> its masterhakuoh here
16|03:19:15 <@Cleo-R-ARC> thank you, madam!
16|03:19:17 <@Bell> Mallory-O: It's got supplies for three days and some extra medkits in case you need 'em
16|03:19:24 <@Cleo-R-ARC> !
16|03:19:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC> do these supplies include chips...?
16|03:19:40 <@Lori-R-MET> Ah, good!
16|03:19:48  * Cleo-R-ARC sighs wistfully
16|03:19:56 <@Bell> Mallory-O: We're not sending a driver with you, if you need to manually move deeper in someone has to either drive it or configure the bot.
16|03:20:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (MARIE?!?!! *_*)
16|03:20:13 <@Marie-O-NOM> no marie
16|03:20:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (Marie ;~;)
16|03:20:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ;~; )*
16|03:20:51 <@Bell> Mallory-O: It's not exactly comfortable, it's just a bigass truck with the back turned into a temporary living space.
16|03:20:52 <@Lori-R-MET> k
16|03:21:03 <@Cleo-R-ARC> understood!!
16|03:21:06 <@Martin-R-QUE> fair enough
16|03:21:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> what's "supplies"?
16|03:21:24 <@Bell> Mallory-O: Also you PROBABLY wanna find a spot to hook it up to the Habitat regulator for the area... one of you knows how to do that, right?
16|03:21:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> Citizen Lori should
16|03:21:50 <@Bell> "Mallory-O shoves a list of said supplies at Martin-R"
16|03:22:11 <@Lori-R-MET> What'd we get, Martin-R?
16|03:22:13 <@Bell> Mallory-O: It's all just food and personal care stuff. They said you'd be outfitted when you got here.
16|03:22:16 <@Lori-R-MET> mk
16|03:22:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC> dibs on any hotstuff!
16|03:22:45 <@Bell> Mallory-O: Any questions? Make it quick I got people to tell off.
16|03:22:47 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~looks it over~
16|03:23:01 <@Martin-R-QUE> so we're on bot driver till there?
16|03:23:04 <@Bell> Jia-R: Aren't you the whirlwind...
16|03:23:07 <@Lori-R-MET> [whats this about a bot is a bot obvious? are there usually bots? what?]
16|03:23:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC> are those trenchcoats for sale anywhere?
16|03:23:16 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I want one *_*
16|03:23:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> hmm...
16|03:23:21 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~grimaces~
16|03:23:25 <@Martin-R-QUE> Cleo, I have bad news
16|03:23:26 <@Bell> Mallory-O: Yeah it's the standard transbot model for this rig
16|03:23:29 <@Martin-R-QUE> I see no chips on this manifest
16|03:23:46 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ...
16|03:23:56  * Cleo-R-ARC assumes a face of unimaginable dread
16|03:23:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'm not sure I understand though
16|03:24:01 <@Martin-R-QUE> there's hotstuff...something
16|03:24:04 <@Martin-R-QUE> it's not chips
16|03:24:06 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ...!
16|03:24:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> here, you take a look at it
16|03:24:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC> NEW hotstuff?
16|03:24:10 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~hands her the sheet~
16|03:24:10 <@Bell> Mallory-O: Nope, just the essentials. You'll get your fancy food when you get on home from it.
16|03:24:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh
16|03:24:18  * Cleo-R-ARC checks!
16|03:24:20 <@Bell> Mallory-O: anything else?
16|03:24:25 <@Martin-R-QUE> that's me misreading things then
16|03:24:28 <@Martin-R-QUE> apologies, citizen cleo
16|03:24:31 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ...
16|03:24:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ...
16|03:24:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ;_;
16|03:24:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> alright
16|03:24:48  * Cleo-R-ARC nibbles more
16|03:24:49 <@Martin-R-QUE> shall we go, then?
16|03:24:49 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Do you happen to know where I can get a high pressure water hose hookup in UIP sector?
16|03:24:58 <@Bell> Mallory-O: Wh... what?
16|03:25:03 <@Cleo-R-ARC> O_o
16|03:25:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
16|03:25:10 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~blinks~
16|03:25:15  * Cleo-R-ARC stares at Sonny
16|03:25:25 <@Cleo-R-ARC> O_o?
16|03:25:37 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Well I'm sure it would greatly ease your work if we returned the rig as clean as we got it, yes?
16|03:25:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ...
16|03:25:47  * Cleo-R-ARC facepalms and groans
16|03:25:49 <@Bell> Mallory-O: You're offering to... wash the rig?
16|03:26:00 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Of course!
16|03:26:09 <@Bell> Mallory-O: ...
16|03:26:14 <@Cleo-R-ARC> he's...
16|03:26:20 <@Bell> Mallory-O: Get this crazy man away from me please.
16|03:26:22 <@Cleo-R-ARC> got low tolerance to the happy pills, you understand.
16|03:26:36 <@Bell> Jia-R: Gladly
16|03:27:00 <@Bell> "Jia-R drags Sonny-R off in the direction of the vehicle, him complaining all the while about how no one understands him."
16|03:27:16 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (so it increases his propensity for bootlicking without raising his success rate at all?)
16|03:27:22 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (that's REALLY CRUEL)
16|03:27:23 <@Lori-R-MET> (so it seems)
16|03:27:26 <@Lori-R-MET> (Yes.)
16|03:28:14 <@Bell> (it's actually one of the more complex side effects, you all will understand it over time, haha)
16|03:28:46 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (this is going to be a LONG two hours of medicated Sonny, isn't it)
16|03:28:56 <@Lori-R-MET> (Maybe more!)
16|03:29:20 <@Bell> "Jia-R climbs into the back of the transport, helping Sonny-R up, or at least offering to. He declines and makes an acrobatic entry on his own, grinning all the while."
16|03:29:46  * Cleo-R-ARC one-ups Sonny's entrance with a deft twistyflip
16|03:29:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> Cleo, it's -
16|03:29:55 <@Martin-R-QUE> 8.5.
16|03:30:03  * Lori-R-MET hops in
16|03:30:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> aww!
16|03:30:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~hop hop~
16|03:30:15 <@Cleo-R-ARC> i'll get a 10 next time!
16|03:30:23 <@Bell> "Pauline-R is getting all this on camera again."
16|03:30:46 <@Bell> Pauline-R: As you can see, my teammates are enthusiastic and full of energy! This is going to be lots of fun!
16|03:30:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC> you get a 2, Martin *sticks tongue out*
16|03:30:53 <@Lori-R-MET> Everyone has such excellent morale!
16|03:31:24 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~stares at Pauline-R worriedly~
16|03:31:35 <@Bell> "Pauline-R, as usual, climbs in last, and makes one more sweep over the room, with the multicorder."
16|03:31:42  * Cleo-R-ARC checks around the vehicle
16|03:31:52 <@Bell> "Jia-R closes down the hatch they have entered through."
16|03:32:06 <@Cleo-R-ARC> any foods that help with the greasy feeling, Pauline?
16|03:32:09 <@Lori-R-MET> Alright!  Off to Sector UIC!
16|03:32:09 <@Bell> Jia-R: Ok, Martin, go get the bot started up and lets get out of here.
16|03:32:23 <@Marie-O-NOM> care of foods i eat one every now and then, its the same spot
16|03:32:28 <@Bell> Jia-R: UIP, Citizen Lori.
16|03:32:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> alright, hold
16|03:32:49 <@Martin-R-QUE> yep, standard issue transbot
16|03:32:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~opens up the back~
16|03:33:04 <@Martin-R-QUE> looks like it's already got the ride pre-programmed
16|03:33:10 <@Martin-R-QUE> should be about an hour or so, it's pretty deep
16|03:33:22 <@Martin-R-QUE> about ready to go
16|03:33:23 <@Lori-R-MET> Oh right!
16|03:33:26 <@Bell> Transbot: Route is active. e.t.a. 56 minutes.
16|03:33:33 <@Lori-R-MET> (~updates damn sheet~)
16|03:33:52 <@Bell> Transbot: Please be aware that you should be seated during acceleration and deceleration phases of the vehicle.
16|03:33:58  * Lori-R-MET sits
16|03:33:59 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...I'd pay attention to that.
16|03:34:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> these things tend to accelerate rather...markedly
16|03:34:41  * Cleo-R-ARC sits next to Pauline
16|03:34:54 <@Cleo-R-ARC> this may or may not suck
16|03:34:55 <@Bell> "Jia-R sits and secures herself."
16|03:35:01 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I've been having bad luck with transportation today
16|03:35:03  * Lori-R-MET holds on
16|03:35:10  * Cleo-R-ARC seatbelts up
16|03:35:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~puts on seatbelt and sighs~
16|03:35:39 <@Bell> Jia-R: Please don't say such things. Why do you think I asked Martin to actually CHECK the bot rather than just giving it the go order?
16|03:35:59 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'm not one for bot hardware
16|03:36:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> point, boss!
16|03:36:02 <@Bell> Sonny-R: We'll soon be on our wayyyy
16|03:36:03 <@Martin-R-QUE> but the ride looked pretty sensible
16|03:36:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> and nothing really looked WRONG
16|03:36:19 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I can doublecheck if you wish, sir Martin
16|03:36:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> so we should be alright
16|03:36:29 <@Bell> Jia-R: I'm more concerned about the possibility that someone rigged the thing to slam us into a wall at full speed.
16|03:36:35 <@Cleo-R-ARC> yes, exactly
16|03:36:38 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
16|03:36:44 <@Lori-R-MET> Maybe someone should just drive?
16|03:36:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> pre-programmed ride, we'll be passing through three, maybe four sectors
16|03:36:53  * Cleo-R-ARC raises hand as if offering
16|03:36:55 <@Lori-R-MET> uhm.  did yuo only check the hardware?
16|03:36:56 <@Martin-R-QUE> bot's got a map in it
16|03:37:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> transport vehicles are one of my specialities!
16|03:37:30 <@Lori-R-MET> ah, phones
16|03:37:31 <@Bell> Jia-R: He checked the software which is what they'd use... I think we'll be okay
16|03:37:32  * Lori-R-MET ignore
16|03:37:45 <@Bell> Jia-R: Worst case, we all need new clones, right?
16|03:37:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I reserve the right to take over if it does anything funny
16|03:37:54 <@Bell> Pauline-R: I don't like your worst case.
16|03:37:59 <@Cleo-R-ARC> yes, like they said
16|03:38:02 <@Bell> Jia-R: ... me neither.
16|03:38:07 <@Lori-R-MET> Worst cases are not fun
16|03:38:11 <@Lori-R-MET> Lets go with best-case
16|03:38:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> the furthest backups are far away
16|03:38:21 <@Lori-R-MET> They didn't sabotage any of our equipment so far..
16|03:38:27 <@Lori-R-MET> Only manipulated peopel into keeping us from it
16|03:38:29 <@Cleo-R-ARC> any objections to me driving, speak now
16|03:38:30 <@Lori-R-MET> well.. that we know
16|03:38:34 <@Bell> Jia-R: Ready to depart, Transbot. Everyone's strapped in.
16|03:38:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC> oh, ok -_-
16|03:38:51 <@Bell> Transbot: Activating routing sequence.
16|03:39:19 <@Bell> "The vehicle lurches, moving forward a bit before turning slowly onto its course and rapidly accelerating."
16|03:39:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC> 56 minutes is a lonnnng time...
16|03:39:32 <@Marie-O-NOM> 15 minutes haha
16|03:39:41 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (don't troll me Marie)
16|03:39:51 <@Martin-R-QUE> (at this speed it sure seems like it would be, eh marie?)
16|03:39:51 <@Marie-O-NOM> eh
16|03:39:54 <@Marie-O-NOM> that forum troll that you don't be useful
16|03:40:01 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Let's all sing Loyalty Songs to pass the time!
16|03:40:05 <@Marie-O-NOM> mostly to sing
16|03:40:07 <@Cleo-R-ARC> pass.
16|03:40:08 <@Bell> Pauline-R: let's not and say we did.
16|03:40:30 <@Lori-R-MET> Let's sing one for the camera and then be done
16|03:40:38 <@Marie-O-NOM> just sing out to be either
16|03:40:50 <@Bell> Jia-R: I really don't sing well...
16|03:40:54 <@Lori-R-MET> Ok
16|03:41:11 <@Bell> Transbot: Route hindered. Please advise.
16|03:41:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
16|03:41:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sigh~
16|03:41:26  * Cleo-R-ARC checks through the viewport
16|03:41:29 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~checks in with the transbot~
16|03:41:32 <@Bell> Jia-R: 'hindered'? What exactly is 'hindered'?
16|03:41:36  * Cleo-R-ARC joins Martin
16|03:41:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'm just going to...sit next to the thing...and watch it CLOSELY
16|03:41:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> i'm better with bots, Martie
16|03:41:47  * Lori-R-MET examine through the window
16|03:41:54 <@Martin-R-QUE> alright, alright
16|03:42:01 <@Lori-R-MET> [whats there?]
16|03:42:26 <@Cleo-R-ARC> any objections to me driving NOW, Jia?
16|03:42:30 <@Bell> "The viewports show nothing out of the ordinary."
16|03:42:44 <@Cleo-R-ARC> there's nothing outside...
16|03:43:20 <@Lori-R-MET> SHould we check i tout?
16|03:43:24 <@Bell> Transbot: In three minutes we will be detoured by an Armed Forces unit undergoing a tactical exercise in our path.
16|03:43:31 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
16|03:43:31 <@Lori-R-MET> ...
16|03:43:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ohhhh dear
16|03:43:34 <@Martin-R-QUE> Oh.
16|03:43:34 <@Marie-O-NOM> oh
16|03:43:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> Oh my.
16|03:43:43 <@Cleo-R-ARC> this doesn't bode well...
16|03:43:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~brings up the map on the transbot~
16|03:43:51 <@Bell> Transbot: Our options are to slow down and wait nearby until the exercise is over, or attempt detour.
16|03:43:51 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Jia?!
16|03:43:55 <@Lori-R-MET> I wonder what ambush comes in our detour..
16|03:43:58 <@Marie-O-NOM> trinity ! she speaks hindi ?
16|03:44:07 <@Lori-R-MET> I say we wait here.
16|03:44:11 <@Martin-R-QUE> hm.
16|03:44:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and be sitting ducks?
16|03:44:22 <@Bell> Jia-R: If we slow down and stop, we get delayed, but there's nothing else wrong, right, Transbot?
16|03:44:24 <@Martin-R-QUE> armed forces...
16|03:44:27 <@Lori-R-MET> As opposed to flying into an ambush?
16|03:44:31 <@Lori-R-MET> or approaching combat?
16|03:44:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> no, they don't look likely
16|03:44:49 <@Bell> Transbot: Correct. Stopping will delay us by two hours and twenty five minutes, according to the tactical exercise data.
16|03:45:02 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
16|03:45:04 <@Martin-R-QUE> blooody hell
16|03:45:07 <@Bell> Jia-R: That's... not a short time...
16|03:45:14 <@Martin-R-QUE> what kind of "tactical exercise" is this?
16|03:45:19 <@Marie-O-NOM> how short is this person actually want to know
16|03:45:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> are they shooting fuckin gartillery shells? >_>
16|03:45:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sighs~
16|03:45:43 <@Bell> Transbot: Information on the exact nature of the exercise exceeds my security clearance.
16|03:45:48 <@Lori-R-MET> How long is the detour?
16|03:46:17 <@Bell> Transbot: If detoured, our trip will be lengthened from 56 minutes to 74 minutes.
16|03:46:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I vote for the detour!
16|03:46:34 <@Marie-O-NOM> the trip there was something fishy with that when you beat him
16|03:46:34 <@Martin-R-QUE> and what does the detour GO THROUGH, transbot?
16|03:46:38 <@Lori-R-MET> Is there an alternate detour?
16|03:46:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> it looks a bit...windy on the map
16|03:46:55 <@Bell> Transbot: Displaying possible detour paths.
16|03:46:58 <@Marie-O-NOM> custom map i could do nothing
16|03:47:26 <@Bell> "A screen shows three different ways around, each with a time additive, reading as 18, 26, and 38 minutes."
16|03:47:34 <@Cleo-R-ARC> guys!
16|03:47:40 <@Cleo-R-ARC> if this is all just to DELAY us...
16|03:47:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we should detour instead of stopping
16|03:47:56 <@Lori-R-MET> Which do you recommend, Transbot?
16|03:47:58 <@Cleo-R-ARC> it'll give them more time to set up on destination if we wait longer
16|03:48:03 <@Bell> Transbot: Beginning deceleration.
16|03:48:32 <@Bell> "The vehicle lurches to a stop in about eight seconds."
16|03:48:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC> hurk!
16|03:48:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> @_@
16|03:48:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> told you these things were dangerous
16|03:48:49 <@Lori-R-MET> nf
16|03:49:02 <@Martin-R-QUE> I have never seen anyone program reasonable acceleration protocols into a bot
16|03:49:03 <@Lori-R-MET> Transbot.. more warning please
16|03:49:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> It's...kind of a standing problem
16|03:49:11 <@Lori-R-MET> I say we take detour #2
16|03:49:15 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Maybe we can just ask them to let us pass through?
16|03:49:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> armed forces?
16|03:49:23 <@Martin-R-QUE> what are you, crazy?
16|03:49:28 <@Martin-R-QUE> we'd probably get blasted
16|03:49:28 <@Bell> Sonny-R: I like watching tactical exercises.
16|03:49:30 <@Marie-O-NOM> so crazy it's insane
16|03:49:31 <@Marie-O-NOM> go home already plan to pass out when Bell and seeing some friends
16|03:49:47 <@Bell> (that's the new line: "So crazy it's insane.")
16|03:49:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> (I love Marie)
16|03:50:03 <@Marie-O-NOM> i love you
16|03:50:04 <@Lori-R-MET> (lol!)
16|03:50:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> (awww!)
16|03:50:10 <@Lori-R-MET> (~hug~ YOU ARE AWESOME MARIE!)
16|03:50:16 <@Marie-O-NOM> <3 hey super awesome dragon
16|03:50:35 <@Cleo-R-ARC> detour time!
16|03:51:16 <@Lori-R-MET> mm
16|03:51:20 <@Lori-R-MET> underequipped
16|03:51:25 <@Martin-R-QUE> alright, let's see
16|03:51:25 <@Lori-R-MET> then cant take transtube
16|03:51:32 <@Lori-R-MET> now delayed or ambushed?
16|03:51:34 <@Martin-R-QUE> detour one seems a bit jumpy
16|03:51:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> let's go with lori's and go with #2
16|03:51:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> any objection?
16|03:51:53 <@Martin-R-QUE> *objections
16|03:51:56  * Lori-R-MET looks at hte map
16|03:51:59 <@Lori-R-MET> [how are they each?]
16|03:52:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> (the first one looks...well...like what happens with very bad pathfinding protocols)
16|03:52:31 <@Martin-R-QUE> (the second looks decent and fast; might be issues but I doubt it)
16|03:52:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> (third looks like way too big a detour)
16|03:52:43  * Cleo-R-ARC yawns and sits back down
16|03:52:45 <@Bell> (detour 1 is in fact winding. detour 2 is what you'd expect of normalcy, detour 3 is very safe and straight, all the way around)
16|03:52:56 <@Lori-R-MET> mm
16|03:52:59 <@Lori-R-MET> k
16|03:53:03 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
16|03:53:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> way too big a detour, I think
16|03:53:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> unless you want to be extremely safe
16|03:53:12 <@Bell> Jia-R: We take the third though.
16|03:53:18 <@Martin-R-QUE> well
16|03:53:23 <@Martin-R-QUE> all things considered
16|03:53:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC> soundz fine to me...
16|03:53:31 <@Martin-R-QUE> especially whoever's trying to stop us...
16|03:53:32 <@Marie-O-NOM> the teachers considered me their pet
16|03:53:35  * Cleo-R-ARC yawns again
16|03:53:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> I think we prefer that...yeah..
16|03:53:49 <@Martin-R-QUE> (really, marie?)
16|03:53:56 <@Bell> Jia-R: Worst case is that there's ambushes waiting or something... the straightest path is the hardest to do that on.
16|03:54:04 <@Marie-O-NOM> always helps marie find it again when more energy for later turns
16|03:54:06 <@Lori-R-MET> Whoever is trying to stop us is expecting us to take the safe route or the slow route
16|03:54:09 <@Lori-R-MET> They manipulate information
16|03:54:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC> yeah, and it's still faster than waiting, and safer than sitting
16|03:54:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC> BUT
16|03:54:13 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Wait, that doesn't make any sense...
16|03:54:17 <@Lori-R-MET> This military exercise is NOT what it appears
16|03:54:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC> if they expect us to want to get there faster
16|03:54:37 <@Bell> Sonny-R: yes, Lori-R is right, we should take the middle route because they expect us to try to go around the safe way.
16|03:54:39 <@Cleo-R-ARC> they would prep to ambush a shorter route
16|03:54:39 <@Marie-O-NOM> shorter
16|03:54:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> if we go around the short route
16|03:54:49 <@Martin-R-QUE> there's probably an ambush there
16|03:54:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> if we wait
16|03:54:54 <@Martin-R-QUE> there's probably an ambush
16|03:55:00 <@Martin-R-QUE> if we take the short route, and our enemies are smart
16|03:55:04 <@Martin-R-QUE> (which they probably are)
16|03:55:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> there's an ambush there TOO
16|03:55:08 <@Bell> Jia-R: Cleo is right. Both the shortest and the middle routes are better chances of problems than the longer one.
16|03:55:17 <@Martin-R-QUE> hm.
16|03:55:26 <@Cleo-R-ARC> either 3 or 2!
16|03:55:27 <@Marie-O-NOM> either 1
16|03:55:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC> absolutely not 1
16|03:55:34 <@Lori-R-MET> If we're ambushed either way, I say we take the fast route
16|03:55:37 <@Cleo-R-ARC> 3 isn't that much longer than 2
16|03:55:38 <@Lori-R-MET> Don't give them time to set up
16|03:55:44 <@Lori-R-MET> And dont let misinformation delay us
16|03:55:50 <@Bell> Sonny-R: No, you're wrong, the easiest way to ambush someone is on the straightest route because you get to focus everything on one attack point.
16|03:56:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (welcome back, Sonny -_-)
16|03:56:15 <@Lori-R-MET> Right.  Thats why we shouldnt be taking the long safe straight route
16|03:56:20 <@Cleo-R-ARC> less deliberating more choosing!
16|03:56:20 <@Lori-R-MET> Not to mention its time
16|03:56:27 <@Bell> Pauline-R: at this rate we might as well wait for the exercise to be over...
16|03:56:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> the longer we sit here the more time we waste
16|03:56:45 <@Cleo-R-ARC> route 2 is the best, middle ground and all
16|03:56:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> people.
16|03:56:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> I...
16|03:56:53 <@Bell> Jia-R: This wasn't a vote.
16|03:57:00 <@Lori-R-MET> So what'll it be, Jia-R?
16|03:57:02 <@Marie-O-NOM> i vote for jpn rules are applied
16|03:57:04 <@Bell> Jia-R: Transbot. Route 3.
16|03:57:09 <@Lori-R-MET> Ok then.
16|03:57:14 <@Martin-R-QUE> alright.
16|03:57:20 <@Bell> Transbot: understood. Accelerating, please secure yourselves.
16|03:57:22  * Cleo-R-ARC kicks back and awaits takeoff
16|03:57:29 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~fastens seatbelt immediately~
16|03:57:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> I don't think I'll ever get used to these things.
16|03:57:37 <@Bell> Sonny-R: Hmf... bossy b--
16|03:57:46 <@Bell> "Jia-R glares at Sonny-R"
16|03:58:01 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~writes down a note on his loyalty report~
16|03:58:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we DO get better straight acceleration on route 3, I must note!
16|03:58:20 <@Marie-O-NOM> you then too hard route
16|03:58:20 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I LIKE straight acceleration *_*
16|03:58:44 <@Bell> "The vehicle lurches, and is on its way again..."
16|03:58:49 <@Bell> (End Scene)
16|03:58:56  * Bell stretches.
16|03:59:03  * Cleo-R-ARC leans on Pauline and closes eyes with another yawn
16|03:59:06 <@Cleo-R-ARC> oh ok
16|03:59:06 <@Lori-R-MET> O_o clocks
16|03:59:34 <@Lori-R-MET> mm
16|04:00:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~pets marie~
20|01:33:52 <@Kafan> never returned here..
20|01:47:01 <@Vinushka> I'm sorry...
20|01:54:57 <@Kafan> what?

20|02:12:08 <@Vinushka> okay I think I'm reay
20|02:12:09 <@Vinushka> *ready
20|02:12:30 <@Lori-R-MET> I AM CEREALGET
20|02:12:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...actually give me like 10 minutes sorry
20|02:12:45 <@Cleo-R-ARC> eh
20|02:12:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~bows heavily~
20|02:12:46 <@Lori-R-MET> kk
20|02:12:54 <@Cleo-R-ARC> she'd take 20 more anyway probably
20|02:12:56 <@Cleo-R-ARC> no biggie
20|02:12:58 <@Marie> that anyway
20|02:13:22 <@Lori-R-MET> ooh
20|02:14:23 <@Alpha-Complex> anything needed before we resume?
20|02:14:29 <@Alpha-Complex> also ENGLISH
20|02:14:35 <@Lori-R-MET> ?
20|02:14:44 <@Alpha-Complex> I had to go through restart, recommence, commence, and some other halfformed word
20|02:14:53 <@Lori-R-MET> ah lame
20|02:14:55 <@Alpha-Complex> KA-E-ZU
20|02:14:59 <@Alpha-Complex> not that hard!
20|02:15:29 <@Lori-R-MET> id say do it all in astral but then i would have no idea whats going on
20|02:15:29 <@Alpha-Complex> will also accept haririzu
20|02:15:32 <@Marie> accept defeat
20|02:15:45 <@Lori-R-MET> no, marie
20|02:15:50 <@Marie> maybe marie was ai
20|02:15:50 <@Lori-R-MET> they are not here yet
20|02:16:00 <@Alpha-Complex> alright, I guess brackets will do
20|02:16:36 <@Lori-R-MET> mm?
20|02:16:48 <@Lori-R-MET> OH
20|02:16:51 <@Lori-R-MET> my data is on linux
20|02:16:53  * Lori-R-MET reboot
20|02:18:33 <@Lori-R-MET> k!
20|02:18:46 <@Alpha-Complex> [Current System Time 14:40]
20|02:18:55 <@Lori-R-MET> So we were headed off to our misdirected deaths, as I recall
20|02:19:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC> possibly
20|02:19:39 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Oh, I know. I should do a routine weapons inspection...
20|02:19:49 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: You might wanna get my good side, Pauline
20|02:20:00 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Should I guess which one that is?
20|02:20:21 <@Lori-R-MET> Oh, come now, cheer up a bit, no need to be bothering eachother like that
20|02:20:25  * Cleo-R-ARC giggles uncontrollably
20|02:20:50 <@Lori-R-MET> [WHEN does this pill wear off?]
20|02:21:05 <@Alpha-Complex> "Pauline-R adjusts the recorder and hands over her weapons pack to Sonny-R"
20|02:21:06 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (two hours or so I think)
20|02:21:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> done sorry
20|02:21:08 <@Marie-O-NOM> at 24 hours
20|02:21:42 <@Lori-R-MET> (good answer)
20|02:21:52  * Cleo-R-ARC yawns and fiddles with her own RED Barrels
20|02:22:15 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I looove the smell of laser ammo in the morning
20|02:22:24 <@Alpha-Complex> "Jia-R watches Sonny-R's inspection VERY closely."
20|02:22:43  * Martin-R-QUE keeps his pack to himself
20|02:22:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> I would rather take good care of my plasma shotgun
20|02:23:00 <@Lori-R-MET> (noooooo)
20|02:23:09 <@Lori-R-MET> (you said the death-words. you die now)
20|02:23:15  * Cleo-R-ARC holds out her hand to Martin as if offering
20|02:23:20 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Sorry, Citizen Martin, inspection is inspection.
20|02:23:44 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sighs and hands over the shotgun to sonny-R~
20|02:23:47 <@Lori-R-MET> (..damit)
20|02:24:07 <@Lori-R-MET> (hmm)
20|02:24:16 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I can get some to save time, Sonny
20|02:24:37 <@Lori-R-MET> ok!
20|02:24:40 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Oh, no no. It's my duty, after all. Besides...
20|02:24:41  * Lori-R-MET passes to Cleo
20|02:24:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC> the efficiency will look better on your record!
20|02:24:54 <@Lori-R-MET> Well no reason for you to have to do SO much work, when she can help!
20|02:25:01 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: It's not a problem at all now that we have so much time.
20|02:25:01 <@Lori-R-MET> After all, teamwork is important!
20|02:25:23 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Yes! But so is focusing on our assigned duties, and as I am the one with the toolkit
20|02:25:33 <@Lori-R-MET> (pleasseeee have a spare)
20|02:25:41 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: I'm sure The Computer will expect me to carry out my duty fully.
20|02:25:55  * Cleo-R-ARC sniffs the shotgun
20|02:26:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I wonder if that guy tampered with them at all...
20|02:26:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC> ohh, our poor prototypes
20|02:26:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we could've had so much fun
20|02:26:51 <@Marie-O-NOM> then shut up to you find fun in that spot
20|02:27:00 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Oh my! That's even more reason why I must perform a complete inspection!
20|02:27:13 <@Lori-R-MET> (~blink~)
20|02:27:21 <@Alpha-Complex> "Jia-R keeps her eye closely on Sonny-R's work"
20|02:27:28 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~whispers to cleo~ let's just...shush and watch him, mm?
20|02:27:29  * Lori-R-MET watches too
20|02:27:41 <@Lori-R-MET> Hey can you explain this stuff, I want to learn it so I can do more stuff next time the computer needs me!
20|02:27:51 <@Alpha-Complex> "Pauline-R similarly keeps him focused directly with the recorder"
20|02:28:05 <@Lori-R-MET> Since as you said, we do have time!
20|02:28:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> *whispers back* wanna chip?
20|02:28:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> !!!!
20|02:28:32 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: No worries, Citizen Lori. I'm sure if The Computer sees need for you to be trained in weapon maintenance, such will be provided at an appropriate time!
20|02:28:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~nods~
20|02:28:54 <@Lori-R-MET> True!
20|02:29:01 <@Marie-O-NOM> that fight, now 50 s true
20|02:29:01 <@Lori-R-MET> And thanks to this arms exercise now is an appropriate time
20|02:29:01 <@Martin-R-QUE> And this is an appropriate time, isn't it?
20|02:29:05 <@Lori-R-MET> Its awesome
20|02:29:11  * Cleo-R-ARC breaks one chip in two and hands a half to Martin
20|02:29:11 <@Lori-R-MET> (wtf WAS that called precisely)
20|02:29:25  * Martin-R-QUE grabs the chip and stares at it
20|02:29:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> well...here goes nothing
20|02:29:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~chomp~
20|02:29:42 <@Martin-R-QUE> MY MOUTH
20|02:29:43 <@Martin-R-QUE> IT'S ON FIRE
20|02:29:44 <@Alpha-Complex> Transbot: Please prepare for sharp left turn in 45 seconds.
20|02:29:49  * Lori-R-MET stares at Martin-R-QUE
20|02:29:51  * Lori-R-MET HLDS ON TIGHT
20|02:29:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> AAAAAAAAGH
20|02:30:03 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~gulp~
20|02:30:06 <@Martin-R-QUE> they're pretty good, Cleo
20|02:30:11  * Lori-R-MET watches to see how Sonny-R will handle the turn with the weapon
20|02:30:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Martin!
20|02:30:16 <@Cleo-R-ARC> brace!
20|02:30:22 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh. oh shit.
20|02:30:24 <@Alpha-Complex> "Sonny-R shifts and secures himself quickly, leaving the weapons on the floor"
20|02:30:41  * Cleo-R-ARC picks up the weapons quickly and secures them
20|02:30:42 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~fastens his seatbelt tightly and puts his backpack on the floor~
20|02:31:11 <@Alpha-Complex> Transbot: Danger! Danger! Unidentified object in turn path! Brace for collision!
20|02:31:23 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh god
20|02:31:23  * Cleo-R-ARC rolls her eyes
20|02:31:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> I hope it's not a rabbit
20|02:31:30 <@Cleo-R-ARC> typical, really
20|02:31:31 <@Marie-O-NOM> the rabbit hole goes
20|02:31:37 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Full stop, bot!
20|02:31:58 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Abort turn!
20|02:32:25 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (God we must have rolled LOW)
20|02:32:36 <@Lori-R-MET> (no, this is the TRAP that i DETAILED to this DUDE)
20|02:32:37 <@Martin-R-QUE> I...I can't reach the bot to do the manual override
20|02:32:38 <@Martin-R-QUE> shit.
20|02:32:46 <@Marie-O-NOM> just override the Martin-R-QUE is here
20|02:32:55 <@Alpha-Complex> "The Transbot complies, only swerving slightly, instead coasting down the ahead until the vehicle comes to a gentle stop."
20|02:33:08 <@Alpha-Complex> "Jia-R exhales."
20|02:33:14 <@Martin-R-QUE> huh.
20|02:33:14 <@Marie-O-NOM> huh
20|02:33:15 <@Lori-R-MET> Trap.
20|02:33:18 <@Alpha-Complex> (rolled 20 actually)
20|02:33:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> They can get the BRAKING to work well
20|02:33:26  * Cleo-R-ARC checks out the viewport
20|02:33:30 <@Cleo-R-ARC> what were we gonna hit...?
20|02:33:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> why the hell does the ACCELERATION work like this
20|02:33:48 <@Lori-R-MET> probably nothing
20|02:33:58 <@Lori-R-MET> but lets see what they planted
20|02:34:00  * Lori-R-MET looks out the windows
20|02:34:09 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~unfastens himself and goes up to the front~
20|02:34:09 <@Lori-R-MET> Transbot: What is the obstacle?
20|02:34:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|02:34:17 <@Alpha-Complex> "The viewport reveals two Armed Forces vehicles"
20|02:34:25 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh, great.
20|02:34:38 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we were supposed to be going AROUND them...
20|02:34:41 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Wait... what? Wasn't their exercise back the other way?
20|02:34:43 <@Lori-R-MET> Should've waited.
20|02:34:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> transbot, where IS the exercise taking place?
20|02:34:52 <@Lori-R-MET> Nope, Like I said, they manipulate information
20|02:34:54 <@Lori-R-MET> This was a trick
20|02:35:02 <@Marie-O-NOM> they're awake, mentally manipulate reality, anyway
20|02:35:18 <@Alpha-Complex> Transbot: My data indicates the situation is as reported previously.
20|02:35:43 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Buggy bot? Or is someone messing with us again?
20|02:35:48 <@Lori-R-MET> Why did you recommend this detour, Transbot?
20|02:35:59 <@Cleo-R-ARC> probably the latter, Pauline
20|02:36:00 <@Martin-R-QUE> I doubt it's buggy
20|02:36:06 <@Cleo-R-ARC> the data ITSELF is off
20|02:36:14 <@Martin-R-QUE> I checked it and it's FINE, there's no sign of tampering
20|02:36:16 <@Cleo-R-ARC> it was inspected for problems, remember?
20|02:36:18 <@Lori-R-MET> Like I said
20|02:36:18 <@Alpha-Complex> "The Transbot yet again calls up the screen which shows the information same as before, with the Armed Forces exercise in the way of the original path."
20|02:36:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> it just looks like someone's feeding it the wrong data
20|02:36:37 <@Cleo-R-ARC> now WHO is in charge of the data feeds...?
20|02:36:37 <@Martin-R-QUE> hmm...
20|02:36:41 <@Lori-R-MET> Make the most obvious detour lead directly into the path
20|02:36:50 <@Lori-R-MET> We need to go back the original way
20|02:36:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'd rather not take that risk just yet
20|02:36:54 <@Lori-R-MET> It's probably clear
20|02:36:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> Cleo has a point
20|02:37:01 <@Marie-O-NOM> run some point
20|02:37:06 <@Martin-R-QUE> IF we're being tricked
20|02:37:09 <@Martin-R-QUE> whoever's sending us the data
20|02:37:13 <@Lori-R-MET> Then they're trying to slow us down
20|02:37:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> is probably the same group that wants this sector, right?
20|02:37:18 <@Lori-R-MET> We should go back the other way
20|02:37:19 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Hah... they got us good, whoever they are... it probably WAS a clear path
20|02:37:22 <@Cleo-R-ARC> no, they are trying to KILL us
20|02:37:22 <@Lori-R-MET> And figure this out while we do
20|02:37:26 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Objections?
20|02:37:28 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
20|02:37:31 <@Marie-O-NOM> 4 right ?
20|02:37:50 <@Cleo-R-ARC> my only request is that I take over the weapon inspections, commander Jia
20|02:37:56 <@Lori-R-MET> Cleo, would you drive?  it'll be better than the transbot crashing us into the NEXT obstacle with 5 seconds warning
20|02:37:58 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Sonny left them unsecured before our sharp turn
20|02:38:05 <@Lori-R-MET> Ah, thats good too
20|02:38:09 <@Alpha-Complex> Armed Forces Officer, over Com: What the hell was that? What's going on in that transport?
20|02:38:12 <@Lori-R-MET> Sonny, you can drive
20|02:38:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> Transbot, who provides your map data?
20|02:38:19  * Lori-R-MET responds over comm
20|02:38:30 <@Lori-R-MET> Buggy transbot, sorry.  Your exercise was listed as [thatway]
20|02:38:34 <@Lori-R-MET> We'll get out of the way immediately
20|02:38:52 <@Lori-R-MET> is [proposed original route] clear?
20|02:38:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC> please ask for confirmation on a clear path, Lori
20|02:39:11 <@Alpha-Complex> AF Officer: Of course that route is clear, we never take our exercises into that area.
20|02:39:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|02:39:18 <@Lori-R-MET> Thankyou, sir!
20|02:39:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> hmm...
20|02:39:19 <@Alpha-Complex> AF Officer: Hold on
20|02:39:22 <@Marie-O-NOM> the practice exercises on a taru'
20|02:39:23 <@Lori-R-MET> Our transbot reported the exercise there
20|02:39:26 <@Lori-R-MET> And listed this detour
20|02:39:55 <@Martin-R-QUE> (taru military exercises!)
20|02:40:03 <@Alpha-Complex> AF Officer: Alright, I've doublechecked with The Computer, I don't know exactly what's up, but we're sending two escort units with you in case of further transport trouble.
20|02:40:09 <@Lori-R-MET> Thankyou sir!
20|02:40:23  * Lori-R-MET back to van
20|02:40:32 <@Lori-R-MET> Sonny, care to drive?
20|02:40:40 <@Lori-R-MET> or should we take our chances with the transbot again?
20|02:40:46 <@Cleo-R-ARC> the bot itself is sound
20|02:40:51 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Whew...
20|02:40:53 <@Martin-R-QUE> it is perfectly fine
20|02:40:53 <@Lori-R-MET> No doubt there are further tricks in store
20|02:41:14  * Cleo-R-ARC wipes her forehead and checks that the weapons are okay
20|02:41:21 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Hey... does that power of yours work without you being near the person?
20|02:41:24 <@Lori-R-MET> Cleo, Martin, whoever is manipulating the datafeed isnt going to stop now
20|02:41:27 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: me?
20|02:41:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
20|02:41:43 <@Lori-R-MET> Whether the bot is intact or not doesnt matter if it gets a "Status Update"
20|02:41:44 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Yeah... we can't trust anyone... could you tell if that guy was lying?
20|02:41:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> but you can doublecheck the map of the sectors with our PDC
20|02:41:58 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: It... doesn't work like that.
20|02:41:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> it's the same.
20|02:42:08 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: How useless.
20|02:42:16 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Er... not you, I mean...
20|02:42:26 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: ...
20|02:42:41 <@Lori-R-MET> So, Sonny, drive for us, if you would
20|02:42:44 <@Lori-R-MET> We need to do this Safely
20|02:42:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (no no no!)
20|02:42:54 <@Marie-O-NOM> woo !
20|02:43:00 <@Lori-R-MET> (cleo what?)
20|02:43:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (you do NOT have the most fucked up person drive!!)
20|02:43:21 <@Lori-R-MET> (ah true, i suppose0
20|02:43:25 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (-_-)
20|02:43:37 <@Lori-R-MET> Or does someone else want to?
20|02:43:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> (this is why we're letting the bot drive)
20|02:43:44 <@Lori-R-MET> Who's good at this?
20|02:43:49 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sighs~
20|02:43:49 <@Lori-R-MET> Or do we risk the bot again?
20|02:43:53 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Well actually I'm not quite versed in how to operate a rig this large...
20|02:43:53 <@Lori-R-MET> and pray there's no status update?
20|02:44:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> Cleo...I can watch over the weapons while you're driving if you wish
20|02:44:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I can drive if necessary, but if the bot itself were borked up, it would have crashed us into the AF vehicles
20|02:44:34 <@Lori-R-MET> Its not the bot, its the data
20|02:44:34 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we'd be back at the cloning facility by now
20|02:44:36 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: No no, leave the weapons to me, I should finish my inspec- DAMMIT now they're all mixed up, how am I supposed to tell whose is whose?
20|02:44:39 <@Lori-R-MET> Tweak where it thinks the road is, just a bit
20|02:44:42 <@Lori-R-MET> But alright
20|02:44:48 <@Lori-R-MET> Transbot [proposed original route]
20|02:44:51 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I can tell!
20|02:44:57  * Cleo-R-ARC sorts the weapons perfectly
20|02:44:57 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Why would that even... matter... we haven't fired any of them yet, they're all the same.
20|02:45:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> you see, Lori's gun had this little smudge on the right side, and this one is lightly chipped near the muzzle...
20|02:45:38 <@Alpha-Complex> "Pauline-R watches in amazement as Cleo-R proceeds to sort the weapons perfectly"
20|02:45:46 <@Lori-R-MET> @comm Sir, are your escorts ready?
20|02:46:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> this one is obviously mine because it smells like chips
20|02:46:40 <@Cleo-R-ARC> it's the little things that count, isn't that right, babies?
20|02:46:46  * Cleo-R-ARC nuzzles her shotgun
20|02:46:49 <@Lori-R-MET> Impressive, Cleo
20|02:46:58 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: How did you... do that?
20|02:47:04 <@Martin-R-QUE> a paragon of weapons efficiency, you are
20|02:47:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> by paying attention, ma'am!
20|02:47:28 <@Alpha-Complex> "Pauline-R fiddles quickly with the recorder for playback, then is quiet for a few seconds."
20|02:47:56 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: You got... every one right... right down to the laser barrels... that should be impossible...
20|02:48:13  * Lori-R-MET collects her things
20|02:48:18 <@Lori-R-MET> VERY nice, Cleo
20|02:48:36 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Pauline's was polished shortly before she got it, I could tell from the way it gleamed when we walked outside, Martin's shotgun was a tad dusty...
20|02:48:47 <@Lori-R-MET> (what is standard form of address?  Cleo, Cleo-R, Cleo-R-ARC?)
20|02:48:52 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (Cleo)
20|02:48:56 <@Lori-R-MET> (k)
20|02:49:07 <@Alpha-Complex> (up to you if you add the R or not)
20|02:49:11 <@Lori-R-MET> (k)
20|02:49:28 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Jia, one of your REDs was dropped in a bit of oil recently, I could tell because of a stain near the trigger...
20|02:49:36 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: That is some impressive observation skill... almost uncanny, I'd say...
20|02:49:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC> i've been fiddling with tools for Friend Computer for YEARS
20|02:49:58 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Transbot, update, sync with Armed Forces Escorts, return to original route.
20|02:50:01 <@Cleo-R-ARC> you tend to pick up on a few things
20|02:50:17 <@Alpha-Complex> Transbot: Synchronizing path variables... re-plotting path.
20|02:50:33 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Oh... Transbot, report on time lost?
20|02:50:59  * Cleo-R-ARC gently lifts Martin's shotgun
20|02:51:10 <@Cleo-R-ARC> it's ok, baby!
20|02:51:18 <@Alpha-Complex> Transbot: Current delay is 20 minutes. Total addition will be 30 minutes to original travel time.
20|02:51:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> sounds alright
20|02:51:33 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: er... maybe I will... postpone the weapons inspection...
20|02:51:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~grins at Cleo~
20|02:51:43  * Cleo-R-ARC motions for the toolkit
20|02:51:51 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: That IS a... very interesting skill, Cleo-R... hehe
20|02:51:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> you will take good care of our weapons, yes, cleo?
20|02:51:58 <@Lori-R-MET> So.
20|02:52:15 <@Lori-R-MET> We lost a halfhour here, nothing at teh transtube
20|02:52:17 <@Alpha-Complex> Transbot: Preparing for acceleration. Please secure yourselves.
20|02:52:23 <@Lori-R-MET> but note it arrived late
20|02:52:24  * Lori-R-MET secures
20|02:52:33  * Cleo-R-ARC resecures the weapons and sits
20|02:52:35 <@Lori-R-MET> if we had gotten out of the PLC on time, we've been waiting
20|02:52:41 <@Lori-R-MET> we lost a good 20-30 minutes there
20|02:52:44 <@Marie-O-NOM> i don't gotten a chance
20|02:52:45 <@Alpha-Complex> "Sonny, Jia and Pauline all strap in."
20|02:52:56 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh dear
20|02:53:03 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~fastens himself tightly again~
20|02:53:07 <@Alpha-Complex> "The vehicle powers up the hydraulic drive and lurches into motion again."
20|02:53:58 <@Lori-R-MET> What's interesting is that they're only delaying us.  Or rather, alternating between that and killing us, rather than keeping their focus
20|02:54:01 <@Alpha-Complex> [Current System Time: 15:15]
20|02:54:14 <@Lori-R-MET> [when is nightcycle?]
20|02:54:15 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Killing us?
20|02:54:22 <@Lori-R-MET> Under-armed
20|02:54:29 <@Lori-R-MET> Sent into the middle of a military tactical exercise?
20|02:54:30  * Cleo-R-ARC picks up Pauline's weapons and inspects, humming to herself
20|02:54:30 <@Lori-R-MET> yes.
20|02:54:33 <@Lori-R-MET> They're trying to kill us
20|02:55:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC> toolkit, Sonny?
20|02:55:22 <@Cleo-R-ARC> this takes a little longer without it
20|02:55:39 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Probably because they figure we'll just be redeployed. I like being a Prime, yes, barely got out of my last mission without any unfortunate 'erasures' but... in the end, we WOULD be back up again fairly quick if they just killed us.
20|02:55:46 <@Marie-O-NOM> that mission with my combo
20|02:55:53 <@Lori-R-MET> See each of these is a delay, but two of the three have been directly aimed at our death
20|02:55:55 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: And probably cause the whole thing to get a lot more attention
20|02:56:02 <@Lori-R-MET> Yes
20|02:56:03 <@Lori-R-MET> We would
20|02:56:07 <@Marie-O-NOM> yes, it can be
20|02:56:09 <@Lori-R-MET> and they'd probably get us killed again
20|02:56:18 <@Lori-R-MET> either way, I'd rather STAY Lori-1
20|02:56:34 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Actually it'd make more sense to junk our vehicle than kill us... which this situation could have done...
20|02:56:35 <@Lori-R-MET> So lets assume they're out to kill us, in the future
20|02:56:39 <@Lori-R-MET> BEcause its true.
20|02:56:44 <@Lori-R-MET> Right, but that wouldnt explain the equipment
20|02:56:44 <@Martin-R-QUE> hmm...
20|02:56:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> well our death is technically a delay
20|02:57:00 <@Lori-R-MET> Yes
20|02:57:00 <@Lori-R-MET> It is
20|02:57:05 <@Lori-R-MET> It's just a particularly effective one
20|02:57:11 <@Lori-R-MET> They're trying to delay us
20|02:57:14  * Cleo-R-ARC reassembles and hands Pauline's weapons back to her
20|02:57:15 <@Lori-R-MET> And they're trying to do it by killing us
20|02:57:17 <@Martin-R-QUE> hmmm...
20|02:57:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> if they're delaying us
20|02:57:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> all clear, ma'am! <3
20|02:57:31 <@Martin-R-QUE> then there's something...something that's almost finished within the sector
20|02:57:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> curious.
20|02:57:37 <@Lori-R-MET> (HOW are you not weapons lady?)
20|02:57:46 <@Alpha-Complex> "Sonny-R passes the Multipurpose Tool Kit to Cleo-R for any final inspections she needs to do."
20|02:57:53 <@Cleo-R-ARC> thankyou!
20|02:57:58  * Cleo-R-ARC starts on the others
20|02:57:59  * Lori-R-MET offers her stuff to Cleo
20|02:58:02 <@Martin-R-QUE> (I now see cleo as a flurry of tools)
20|02:58:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (you see correctly.)
20|02:58:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> none of these appear to have been tampered with, though that guy has no class!
20|02:58:40 <@Cleo-R-ARC> you need to treat guns WELL
20|02:59:02  * Lori-R-MET takes hers back and properly holsters it, with proper respect
20|02:59:17 <@Cleo-R-ARC> that's the spirit, Lori! *_*
20|02:59:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~hands over the rest of his stuff to cleo~
20|02:59:33  * Lori-R-MET calls up the other proposed detours
20|02:59:43 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: How come you're so willing to let her inspect them now?
20|02:59:45 <@Lori-R-MET> [Which of these lead in the direction of the exercise, which do not?]
20|03:00:08 <@Lori-R-MET> [And where do the others lead?]
20|03:00:35 <@Alpha-Complex> (Detours 1 and 2 simply lead through the UNB sector, but involve multiple sharp turns)
20|03:01:01 <@Lori-R-MET> [How's the terrain in the area of said turns?]
20|03:01:03 <@Cleo-R-ARC> by demonstration, perhaps!
20|03:01:27 <@Alpha-Complex> (terrain is fine, this vehicle is simply not suited for sharp turns. There are none on the original route)
20|03:01:32 <@Lori-R-MET> [k]
20|03:01:43 <@Martin-R-QUE> mm?
20|03:01:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> I wasn't willing to hand them over to sonny
20|03:01:57 <@Lori-R-MET> Turns out the Other routes are just as deadly
20|03:01:59 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'm perfectly willing to let her do it >_>
20|03:02:03 <@Lori-R-MET> They'd at LEAST tear the van apart
20|03:02:12 <@Lori-R-MET> Though no apparent weaponry there
20|03:02:14 <@Lori-R-MET> That we know of
20|03:02:25  * Cleo-R-ARC polishes and redistributes the rest of the weapons
20|03:02:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~blinks~
20|03:02:38 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Why would you have so little faith in my ability, Martin-R? I was specifically chosen for this mission in ORDER to maintain the weaponry.
20|03:02:42 <@Martin-R-QUE> I have never seen such a shiny shotgun
20|03:02:59 <@Cleo-R-ARC> isn't it sad, Martin?
20|03:03:05 <@Cleo-R-ARC> most people just don't do it right
20|03:03:09 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sigh~
20|03:03:18 <@Cleo-R-ARC> would YOU like it if you were all dusty?
20|03:03:19 <@Cleo-R-ARC> no
20|03:03:24 <@Cleo-R-ARC> you'd SNEEZE
20|03:03:29 <@Martin-R-QUE> sad, yes, but I guess not everyone is skilled at gun maintenance
20|03:03:34 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and I ASSURE you you do not want your shotgun to SNEEZE
20|03:03:35 <@Lori-R-MET> [Are there any OTHER surprises or oddities in the remainder of the route?]
20|03:03:57 <@Lori-R-MET> I would be VERY glad not to have shotguns sneezing in my vicinity.
20|03:04:07 <@Cleo-R-ARC> right, exactly!
20|03:04:24 <@Marie-O-NOM> probably not exactly fully aware of how the f is it neo ?
20|03:05:06 <@Alpha-Complex> "Jia-R closes her eyes for a few seconds."
20|03:05:32 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: ~yawns~ Are we there yet?
20|03:05:40 <@Lori-R-MET> Transbot, ETA?
20|03:05:44 <@Lori-R-MET> [also previous question?]
20|03:05:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~checks the transbot~
20|03:05:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> nah, not even halfway there yet
20|03:06:06 <@Martin-R-QUE> we should pay attention though
20|03:06:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> wouldn't want there to be another, um, unpleasant surprise
20|03:06:23  * Cleo-R-ARC yawns and rests head on Pauline's shoulder
20|03:06:38 <@Alpha-Complex> Transbot: Currently resuming main route. e.t.a. now 52 minutes.
20|03:07:07 <@Alpha-Complex> (you all can skip 'travel' if you want now)
20|03:07:14 <@Lori-R-MET> (k)
20|03:07:27 <@Lori-R-MET> (i do not need to sit around forever)
20|03:07:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> (and with that, I fell asleep >_> )
20|03:07:58 <@Alpha-Complex> "Just under an hour later, the vehicle crosses into UIP Sector finally, and the Armed Forces vehicles leave."
20|03:08:18 <@Lori-R-MET> (And what do we find?)
20|03:08:18 <@Alpha-Complex> Transbot: Decelerating in 30 seconds, please secure yourselves
20|03:08:22  * Lori-R-MET secures
20|03:08:37 <@Martin-R-QUE> mmf what OH
20|03:08:39 <@Marie-O-NOM> oh sweet
20|03:08:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~braces himself~
20|03:08:44 <@Alpha-Complex> "The vehicle lurches to a stop."
20|03:09:20 <@Alpha-Complex> Transbot: Current location, Southwest UIP Sector. Entering standby mode.
20|03:09:33 <@Lori-R-MET> Ok.  Time to investigate...
20|03:09:41 <@Lori-R-MET> We should move the vehicle to another area
20|03:09:50 <@Lori-R-MET> Rather than sitting in a known destination
20|03:10:14  * Lori-R-MET brings up map of the area
20|03:10:41 <@Lori-R-MET> We should probably start with the reactor area
20|03:10:46  * Cleo-R-ARC yawns and stretches
20|03:10:49 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: No, I don't think so... this IS still the best spot to begin our operation from, and it isn't like anyone who wants to couldn't FIND us.
20|03:10:51 <@Lori-R-MET> It's the most important thing here
20|03:11:06 <@Lori-R-MET> True, but we might as well mess with their plans a bit, if it doesnt hurt us
20|03:11:13 <@Lori-R-MET> alright though
20|03:11:15 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Jia is right, Lori
20|03:11:24 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we should assume that even if we DID move, it would be anticipated
20|03:11:35 <@Cleo-R-ARC> whoever's pulling the strings is VERY high up
20|03:11:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we should assume nigh-omniscience and not bother trying to misdirect them
20|03:12:01 <@Lori-R-MET> Movement, yes.  Destination, hopefully not.
20|03:12:03 <@Lori-R-MET> If you say so
20|03:12:17 <@Lori-R-MET> So what's the plan?
20|03:12:21  * Lori-R-MET looks at Jia-R
20|03:12:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> hm
20|03:12:35 <@Lori-R-MET> The reactor is the reason the sector is special to begin with.
20|03:12:41  * Cleo-R-ARC fiddles with the toolkit
20|03:12:44 <@Alpha-Complex> [Current System Time: 16:20. Current Mission Time remaining (ideal): 75 hours 40 minutes.]
20|03:12:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> I think it would be a good idea to look for security systems
20|03:12:47 <@Lori-R-MET> [unless all sectors get those?]
20|03:12:53 <@Lori-R-MET> indeed
20|03:12:54 <@Martin-R-QUE> so that we get a camera feed of the entire place
20|03:12:57 <@Lori-R-MET> That would give us-nntf
20|03:13:14 <@Martin-R-QUE> would also let us commandeer some of the bots in the area, probably
20|03:13:22 <@Martin-R-QUE> that should be one of our first targets
20|03:13:26 <@Lori-R-MET> So what's the plan, Jia?
20|03:13:28 <@Martin-R-QUE> if THEY'RE omniscient
20|03:13:30 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: you're assuming the spybot cams are all functioning correctly... then again I suppose if they aren't you can handle it
20|03:13:31 <@Martin-R-QUE> we should be, too
20|03:13:34 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
20|03:13:51 <@Lori-R-MET> I'd be more worried about further misdirection.  That IS how they work
20|03:13:56 <@Lori-R-MET> And tehy've been in the area for longer than us
20|03:13:59 <@Martin-R-QUE> I doubt they're ALL working right, but at least some should be running
20|03:14:12 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I agree with this... getting the spybots up and running and networked if possible is our safest bet here.
20|03:14:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> we should have backlogs as well, most likely
20|03:14:13 <@Lori-R-MET> Doesnt sound too hard to tamper with a video feed
20|03:14:27 <@Lori-R-MET> So how do we begin?
20|03:14:47 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Easy, we get out and look for a data node.
20|03:15:00  * Lori-R-MET pops open the hatch
20|03:15:05 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and keep your eyes out for trouble
20|03:15:14 <@Alpha-Complex> "Jia-R picks up her weapons and hops out of the vehicle."
20|03:15:16  * Lori-R-MET looks around then hops out [probably]
20|03:15:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~gets his plasma shotgun from cleo, puts on his backpack and hops out~
20|03:15:45  * Cleo-R-ARC picks up her things and also hops out, still fiddling with the toolkit
20|03:15:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> (hop hop hop)
20|03:16:08 <@Alpha-Complex> "Sonny-R picks up his rifle, and then stops."
20|03:16:22 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Someone should stay with the vehicle. I volunteer.
20|03:16:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> the bot can stay with the vehicle
20|03:16:38 <@Martin-R-QUE> ACTUALLY
20|03:16:42 <@Martin-R-QUE> hold on a second!
20|03:16:43 <@Lori-R-MET> Martin, would yo usee that the bot is properly secured?
20|03:16:44 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: The bot can't SHOOT THINGS.
20|03:16:56 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~hops back into the truck and fiddles around with the transbot~
20|03:17:03 <@Martin-R-QUE> THERE!
20|03:17:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~flips open his PDC~
20|03:17:17 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: 'there'?
20|03:17:32 <@Marie-O-NOM> there is no'done', and i don't worry
20|03:17:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> well you know how transbots have cameras and sensors to be able to drive, yes?
20|03:17:45 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Sonny, don't you think that if you needed to shoot at something from here, there would be sufficient forces that the vehicle would be doomed anyway?
20|03:17:54 <@Martin-R-QUE> well using its transmission system I got its sensor feed onto my PDC
20|03:17:56 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Yes, they hook up to the ones of the vehicle
20|03:17:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> so if there's a threat coming we can see it here
20|03:18:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we were almost killed before we even got here
20|03:18:13 <@Marie-O-NOM> to feed yourself and then i can function better without the 90%
20|03:18:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> I still think someone should stay
20|03:18:16 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: That doesn't really mean we can do anything about said threat.
20|03:18:29 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
20|03:19:11 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Citizen Pauline, may I request your plasma shotgun considering the situation?
20|03:19:11 <@Lori-R-MET> ~aside-ish~ Martin, think you could copy those feeds to my PDC too?  Itd be good to be able to se threats comin
20|03:19:33 <@Alpha-Complex> "Pauline-R eyes Sonny-R warily."
20|03:19:35  * Cleo-R-ARC offers her own instead
20|03:19:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> hmm... actually
20|03:19:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Martin?
20|03:19:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> mm?
20|03:19:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> what is it, Cleo?
20|03:20:23 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Why thank you, Cleo-R, but I believe that since citizen Pauline is recording the mission anyway, and it is still technically my assigned equipment
20|03:20:25 <@Cleo-R-ARC> give your shotgun to Sonny?
20|03:20:38 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: It is probably simplest if I take hers.
20|03:20:41 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~whimpers~
20|03:20:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC> the recorder would be the one in most danger if something happens, Sonny
20|03:21:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (Jia kill Sonny now!)
20|03:21:04 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: alright, enough... give him the shotgun
20|03:21:05 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (it's a trap!)
20|03:21:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> I guess I still have my laser rifle...
20|03:21:19 <@Alpha-Complex> "Pauline-R complies."
20|03:21:43 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Thank you! I'll make sure to alert immediately if anything seems out of the ordinary here!
20|03:21:47 <@Marie-O-NOM> idle talk alert !
20|03:21:54 <@Martin-R-QUE> (...)
20|03:21:59 <@Martin-R-QUE> (I say we trust Marie)
20|03:22:01 <@Marie-O-NOM> trust me <
20|03:22:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (LOL)
20|03:22:11 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Alright, people, let's get moving.
20|03:22:33 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: And don't you eat all the ChocoYum bars!
20|03:22:41 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: Wouldn't dream of it, Leader!
20|03:23:06 <@Cleo-R-ARC> hmm... actually, Sonny, let's trade guns, I may be able to handle that small clip on the side better than you
20|03:23:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> might jam in a crucial moment?
20|03:24:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> not in the right hands!
20|03:24:12  * Cleo-R-ARC offers her shotgun
20|03:24:32 <@Lori-R-MET> (did you... <30
20|03:24:41 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (I do not understand)
20|03:24:48 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: No no, it's fine, Cleo-R. Besides, I wouldn't want to take it from you after  you named it and everything)
20|03:25:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I am quite fine with using Lenora instead of Josephine, thank you
20|03:25:12 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: enough with the shotguns, let's move out.
20|03:25:25  * Cleo-R-ARC switches the guns and joins them
20|03:25:41 <@Alpha-Complex> (you can't just 'switch guns')
20|03:25:47 <@Martin-R-QUE> alright let's get on with this
20|03:25:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (oh ok)
20|03:26:45 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I'll take point, Pauline the rear, the three of you rotate in a triangle between us to cover all directions.
20|03:26:46  * Lori-R-MET calls up sector map and looks for network node
20|03:26:53 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~nods~
20|03:27:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'll keep my PDC open in case of any threats
20|03:27:24 <@Martin-R-QUE> hell for battery life, but it should keep us safe for a few hours
20|03:27:33 <@Lori-R-MET> [so, where to?]
20|03:27:49 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Alright, I got it then.
20|03:29:01 <@Alpha-Complex> "Jia-R leads the team through the abandoned sector for about 20 minutes before finding what she is looking for, a networked 'Spybot' on a wall outside a Junior Citizen's creche facility."
20|03:29:33 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: That one should do it.
20|03:29:45  * Lori-R-MET starts poking at it
20|03:29:52  * Lori-R-MET acquires link & data?
20|03:30:15 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|03:30:15 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 18 [1d20=18]
20|03:30:21 <@Alpha-Complex> (try again)
20|03:30:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> hmm...
20|03:30:45 <@Alpha-Complex> TeachBot: Gree-.. Gree-... Greetings Citizens, what may I do for you?
20|03:30:53  * Lori-R-MET tries again
20|03:30:57 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|03:30:57 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 6 [1d20=6]
20|03:31:13 <@Alpha-Complex> (data download successfull initiated)
20|03:31:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Martin, keep the security cam link with the vehicle active, I still don't trust Sonny while he's hopped up on happypills
20|03:31:51 <@Cleo-R-ARC> if he tries to hose off the vehicle...
20|03:32:03 <@Lori-R-MET> He really is responding to those pills a bit odly..
20|03:32:06 <@Marie-O-NOM> of pills left
20|03:32:06 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: A NannyBot...
20|03:32:28 <@Lori-R-MET> Check him out if you would, Martin?
20|03:32:33 <@Alpha-Complex> NannyBot: Greetings Citizens? Can I huwpe-l... help you?
20|03:32:34 <@Lori-R-MET> we dont need surprises.
20|03:32:38 <@Lori-R-MET> And he's not lookin ggood
20|03:33:21 <@Martin-R-QUE> I told you, Cleo, I've got it here
20|03:33:25 <@Alpha-Complex> "The NannyBot suddenly lunges for Jia-R"
20|03:33:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sigh~

20|03:33:43 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 17 [1d20=17]
20|03:33:44  * Lori-R-MET fires at it
20|03:33:53 <@Alpha-Complex> (weapon?)
20|03:34:07 <@Lori-R-MET> las-pistol
20|03:34:11 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|03:34:11 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 1 [1d20=1]
20|03:34:19 <@Lori-R-MET> (only if not aiming in teh direction of teammates too much)
20|03:34:26  * Cleo-R-ARC circles around to the back and blasts open the bot's maintenance panel with a RED round
20|03:34:29 <@Marie-O-NOM> Dice-Bot, how should i put whatever the hell is what ?
20|03:34:43 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (well tries to)
20|03:34:47 <@Alpha-Complex> "Lori's shot cleanly pierces the NannyBot right through the head unit, causing it to slump mid-stride and fall to the floor."
20|03:35:01 <@Lori-R-MET> Clearly need to be more careful
20|03:35:06 <@Martin-R-QUE> hmm...
20|03:35:09 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: that was... some shot...
20|03:35:10 <@Martin-R-QUE> they're trying to kill humans...
20|03:35:12 <@Lori-R-MET> Can you figure out whats wrong with it?
20|03:35:20  * Cleo-R-ARC nods and pries open the maintenance panel
20|03:35:21 <@Lori-R-MET> Thankyou
20|03:35:27 <@Lori-R-MET> Better a down bot than a down leader.
20|03:35:34 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I think you probably fried its botbrain though...
20|03:35:44 <@Martin-R-QUE> cleo, if its brain is still running, can I hav e alook?
20|03:35:48 <@Lori-R-MET> Since the alternative was yours, I'm not concerned
20|03:36:01 <@Martin-R-QUE> I should be able to find how it was changed into this
20|03:36:07 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Martin!
20|03:36:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> it's not usual that bots are turned onto full kill-mode

20|03:36:10 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 11 [1d20=11]
20|03:36:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> head!
20|03:36:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...?
20|03:36:21 <@Martin-R-QUE> what?
20|03:36:27 <@Lori-R-MET> (my shot, iassume)
20|03:36:44 <@Alpha-Complex> NannyBot: System... failure... Now transmitting... data... to centr--
20|03:36:45 <@Cleo-R-ARC> see if there's any loose parts from the head on the floor
20|03:36:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> right, cleo
20|03:36:54 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...transmitting...
20|03:36:54  * Lori-R-MET traces that
20|03:36:57 <@Lori-R-MET> Trace that.
20|03:36:59 <@Martin-R-QUE> that doesn't usually happen...

20|03:37:06 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 11 [1d20=11]
20|03:37:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
20|03:37:21 <@Lori-R-MET> Securitysystems ftw
20|03:37:24  * Martin-R-QUE scours the floor for non-fried parts
20|03:37:36 <@Alpha-Complex> "Lori's PINN shows a data stream transmission deeper into the sector, but cannot pinpoint its target location before it cuts off."
20|03:38:11  * Cleo-R-ARC checks for anything funny in the bot's interior, utilizing the toolkit's flashlight
20|03:38:11 <@Lori-R-MET> Damn
20|03:38:12 <@Lori-R-MET> too slow
20|03:38:23 <@Alpha-Complex> (there are no parts to be found. Lori-R's shot was perfect in every way)
20|03:38:27 <@Lori-R-MET> Deeper into the sector though
20|03:38:30 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (Dag, yo)
20|03:38:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> so someone has a base of operations set up here...
20|03:38:41 <@Lori-R-MET> Whoever's interested in us is working out of there
20|03:38:54 <@Lori-R-MET> I suppose that should be our next target, Jia?
20|03:38:59 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: why would anyone go so far as to overhaul a NANNYBOT?
20|03:39:06 <@Lori-R-MET> Trying to kill us
20|03:39:08 <@Lori-R-MET> Like I said
20|03:39:15 <@Lori-R-MET> Taking you out would be an excellent delay
20|03:39:20 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I don't think a NannyBot COULD kill me.
20|03:39:22 <@Lori-R-MET> We squabble over leadership and break down
20|03:39:26 <@Lori-R-MET> They pick us off
20|03:39:33 <@Lori-R-MET> And Jia-2 takes a day to show up
20|03:39:40 <@Lori-R-MET> IF the report gets in to begin with
20|03:39:44 <@Marie-O-NOM> to begin with
20|03:39:44 <@Lori-R-MET> Mission fail.
20|03:39:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (any funky hardware in thar?)
20|03:39:57 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Well probably more like 2 hours.
20|03:40:00 <@Martin-R-QUE> you know
20|03:40:04 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|03:40:04 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 16 [1d20=16]
20|03:40:07 <@Lori-R-MET> Except for the delays.
20|03:40:10 <@Martin-R-QUE> that means they probably know our precisely location now.
20|03:40:13 <@Lori-R-MET> Yes
20|03:40:15 <@Lori-R-MET> We need to move
20|03:40:28 <@Lori-R-MET> and hopefuly trace the next one completely..
20|03:40:31 <@Alpha-Complex> (you are unable to fully understand the internals of the NannyBot. Try again?)
20|03:40:45 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Wait we're bot hunting now?
20|03:40:52 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Sounds good to me.
20|03:41:02 <@Lori-R-MET> Sounds like a good move.
20|03:41:05 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (yeah, any tools or such I could use to supplement the roll?)
20|03:41:09 <@Lori-R-MET> Not that itll be hard. They;re hunting us too
20|03:41:23 <@Lori-R-MET> [Can I tell any other viewers or targets for the datastreams from the security stuff?]

20|03:42:04 <@Martin-R-QUE> (question: if one of us dies, and a clone returns, does the clone lose all memory of what happened?)
20|03:42:06 <@Lori-R-MET> (I assume that means i know EVERYTHING)
20|03:42:17 <@Alpha-Complex> (your scans reveal a shifting network of data nodes, many of which appear to be 'other than spybots')
20|03:42:34 <@Lori-R-MET> (can I track this realtime?)
20|03:42:45 <@Lori-R-MET> (Was this nanybot on the network until recently?)
20|03:42:58 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (can I uplink at all with my PDC?)
20|03:43:08 <@Alpha-Complex> "Around the corner trundles a Model 9 heavy StructaBot."
20|03:43:08 <@Cleo-R-ARC> guys, I found something!
20|03:43:14 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...oh bloody hell
20|03:43:17 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: We're in trouble. Look alive!
20|03:43:24 <@Lori-R-MET> (Is it on the network?)
20|03:43:26 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: WHat the hell?!
20|03:43:28  * Cleo-R-ARC whips out her shotgun
20|03:43:29 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~dashes off behind a corner~
20|03:43:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> hold, guys
20|03:43:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC> easy, boy!

20|03:44:23 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...wait

20|03:49:32 <@Lori-R-MET> (uh... what happened to my kick?)
20|03:49:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> and how they've managed to invade all the bots with superior transmitting capabilities
20|03:49:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> we are SO screwed.
20|03:49:54 <@Alpha-Complex> (would count as secondary combat action)
20|03:50:01 <@Lori-R-MET> (so no-go or?)
20|03:50:15 <@Lori-R-MET> (did I save the comm?)

20|03:50:36 <@Alpha-Complex> (no-go, but ECM is temporary for things like that)

20|03:50:42 <@Lori-R-MET> (ok cool)
20|03:50:49 <@Lori-R-MET> (wait.  like.  whats permenantly gone?)
20|03:51:01 <@Alpha-Complex> (you ask this now?)
20|03:51:15 <@Alpha-Complex> (you all might be 'permanently gone' in a minute if you can't beat the thing)

20|03:51:37 <@Martin-R-QUE> hehe.
20|03:51:38 <@Martin-R-QUE> now.
20|03:51:39 <@Lori-R-MET> (true.  i have to study the effects of EMCs then rathe rthane xperience? k)

20|03:55:07 <@Cleo-R-ARC> !
20|03:55:11 <@Lori-R-MET> Break it! Now!
20|03:55:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> CLEO
20|03:55:21 <@Martin-R-QUE> go behind it and open the maintenance panel
20|03:55:34 <@Martin-R-QUE> we should be able to throw the killswitch from there, nya?
20|03:55:48  * Cleo-R-ARC circles around the inert bot carefully
20|03:55:49 <@Lori-R-MET> Disconnect the command paths
20|03:55:54 <@Cleo-R-ARC> keep your weapons trained on it!
20|03:56:19  * Cleo-R-ARC checks for a maintenance panel

20|03:58:30 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I found the source of the tampering before our big friend interrupted
20|03:58:35 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Leader, are you alright?
20|03:58:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> wait...
20|03:58:55 <@Martin-R-QUE> ALRIGHT CLEO
20|03:59:07 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I'm... mostly okay... I think may have bruised a rib... ~coughs~
20|03:59:09 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~looks for the disabled nannybot~
20|03:59:10 <@Lori-R-MET> Are you alright, Jia?
20|03:59:12 <@Lori-R-MET> k.
20|03:59:25 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Don't get up yet...
20|03:59:36 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: how bad is the pain?
20|03:59:36 <@Cleo-R-ARC> clean her off first!
20|03:59:43 <@Martin-R-QUE> um...
20|03:59:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> with wh-
20|03:59:56 <@Martin-R-QUE> no that wouldn't work as disinfectant
20|03:59:57 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Do I look like I have something to REMOVE CEMENT?
20|04:00:10 <@Lori-R-MET> I can make a flood...
20|04:00:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> all I have is kerosene
20|04:00:40 <@Lori-R-MET> Did the nannybot have a medpack at all?
20|04:00:41 <@Cleo-R-ARC> point...
20|04:00:41 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I'm fine... it's like extra... body armor... heh
20|04:00:46  * Cleo-R-ARC checks the toolkit
20|04:01:04 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: You've got the medkit... just... give me some Viso and I'll... be fine
20|04:01:17 <@Lori-R-MET> k
20|04:01:29  * Lori-R-MET do
20|04:01:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> the nannybot seems to be alright
20|04:01:36  * Lori-R-MET check which that was
20|04:01:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~picks it up and carries it over to Cleo~
20|04:01:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> (I'm not sure how big these thing sare, I'm imagining trashcan-sized

20|04:02:57 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: right... so... we're clearly in big trouble.
20|04:03:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> yes. clearly we are
20|04:03:14 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we can't exactly trace their signature from the bot, even if we get the PDCs working... the command nodes are cycling constantly
20|04:03:20 <@Cleo-R-ARC> it's why Lori's trace didn't work
20|04:03:20 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Then we need to get moving like now.
20|04:03:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> that...
20|04:03:32 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Mission is still necessary too.
20|04:03:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> nah it wouldn't have worked
20|04:03:41 <@Martin-R-QUE> we were to do a safety sweep, weren't we?
20|04:03:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> we just did a safety sweep
20|04:03:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC> whoever is running this operation has a VAST amount of resources spread out through the entire area!
20|04:03:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> IT IS FUCKING DANGEROUS HERE
20|04:03:51 <@Lori-R-MET> (how is my PDC & trace?)
20|04:04:04 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: We don't have evidence of anything yet. Stay alert.
20|04:04:18 <@Martin-R-QUE> lori, gather our stuff, please, seeing as you're still standing and well
20|04:04:20 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Lori, check if you still have data and can track if anyting else is coming for us.
20|04:04:27 <@Marie-O-NOM> sound track : p echizen network : p
20|04:04:42 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Pauline, stop worrying about me and check on the multicorder and com
20|04:04:44 <@Lori-R-MET> working on it, Jia
20|04:04:47 <@Martin-R-QUE> (how long are ECM grenades for?)
20|04:04:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> er
20|04:04:59 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Cleo, keep your eyes out for more trouble
20|04:04:59 <@Marie-O-NOM> eyes
20|04:04:59 <@Martin-R-QUE> (how long do their effects last, approx?)
20|04:05:07 <@Alpha-Complex> (2 minutes)
20|04:05:11  * Cleo-R-ARC nods
20|04:05:35 <@Cleo-R-ARC> let me know if the PDCs are too fried, I may be able to fix them up a bit
20|04:05:37 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: we brought the bot down completely, do we want to risk bringing its core systems back up?
20|04:05:52 <@Lori-R-MET> Let me see what I can get first
20|04:05:57 <@Lori-R-MET> it might not be worth it
20|04:06:05 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|04:06:05 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 17 [1d20=17]
20|04:06:28 <@Alpha-Complex> (your data is piecemeal and currently not showing much)
20|04:06:43 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: We really need to move.
20|04:06:47 <@Lori-R-MET> (lost what I had before then?)
20|04:06:49 <@Lori-R-MET> agreed
20|04:06:55 <@Lori-R-MET> I need to itnerface with another network node though
20|04:06:59 <@Lori-R-MET> Hopefully a Safer one
20|04:07:01 <@Marie-O-NOM> safer play
20|04:07:04 <@Cleo-R-ARC> no doubt -_-
20|04:07:26 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Alright... then... let's get out of here... forget the bot... there shouldn't be ano--
20|04:07:30 <@Lori-R-MET> How sure are you this bot is disabled?
20|04:07:36 <@Cleo-R-ARC> extremely
20|04:07:38 <@Alpha-Complex> "The trundling of a StreetSweeper can now be heard."
20|04:07:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> move move!
20|04:07:45 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: RUN
20|04:07:50 <@Marie-O-NOM> how id have to move my car
20|04:08:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> SHIT.
20|04:08:10  * Cleo-R-ARC supports Jia and scurries off
20|04:08:14  * Lori-R-MET looks for cover
20|04:08:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> RUN!
20|04:08:22 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~runs off~
20|04:08:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> those things aren't very fast
20|04:08:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> if we can lose sight of it we SHOULD be alright for a while
20|04:08:51 <@Alpha-Complex> "The StreetSweeper bot approaches at just a bit less than human running speed."
20|04:09:05 <@Lori-R-MET> Losing sight wont help
20|04:09:07 <@Lori-R-MET> they're all nework
20|04:09:10 <@Lori-R-MET> if Anything can see us, it can.
20|04:09:30 <@Lori-R-MET> (is there anything around they cant pass?)
20|04:09:42 <@Alpha-Complex> (no)
20|04:09:49 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~pulls out his laser shotgun and fires at it~
20|04:09:51 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|04:09:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> plasma
20|04:09:54 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~facepalm~
20|04:10:16  * Cleo-R-ARC lobs an ECM grenade back at it
20|04:10:19 <@Alpha-Complex> "Lori-R is now at the rear of the group, with the Sweeper not really gaining."
20|04:10:27 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|04:10:27 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 19 [1d20=19]
20|04:10:48 <@Alpha-Complex> "Martin-R's shot goes completely wild, missing the bot completely."
20|04:10:54 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|04:10:54 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 3 [1d20=3]
20|04:10:58  * Lori-R-MET runs faster
20|04:11:20 <@Alpha-Complex> "Cleo-R's ECM grenade rolls into the Sweeper's scrubbers and explodes, causing it to stop."
20|04:11:30 <@Cleo-R-ARC> SAFE!!
20|04:11:42 <@Lori-R-MET> We're using those damn fast..
20|04:11:45 <@Lori-R-MET> Not that I have a better plan
20|04:11:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Jia, you alright?
20|04:11:55 <@Martin-R-QUE> cleo, check out the bot
20|04:11:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> lori, check on jia
20|04:11:59  * Lori-R-MET does
20|04:12:03 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Yes, I think so... I'm fine
20|04:12:07 <@Lori-R-MET> Anything new or worse?
20|04:12:21 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: if that one is stunned, maybe we can get something from it if we hurry.
20|04:12:21 <@Lori-R-MET> Lets call Sonny and get picked up
20|04:12:24 <@Lori-R-MET> Yeah
20|04:12:36  * Cleo-R-ARC scurries over to the bot and checks it
20|04:12:40  * Lori-R-MET tries to get another copy of the network from it
20|04:12:42 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I'll keep a look out while you all work on it
20|04:12:46 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|04:12:46 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 18 [1d20=18]
20|04:13:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~readies his plasma shotgun~
20|04:13:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> just...being careful
20|04:13:22 <@Alpha-Complex> "Cleo-R finds that she has somewhat less familiarity with models of bot that clean streets."

20|04:13:27 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 8 [1d20=8]
20|04:13:39 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (not surprising)
20|04:13:55 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I... it turns out, I am used to bots that SHOOT things, commander
20|04:14:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> like that structabot!!
20|04:14:16 <@Lori-R-MET> Crazy cement-shooters..
20|04:14:19 <@Alpha-Complex> "Lori-R's data system comes up again from the PINN, showing the network and various 'nodes' moving not towards the group, but rather converging on various other locations deeper in the sector."
20|04:14:22 <@Marie-O-NOM> you are crazy, mental
20|04:14:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> bizarre...
20|04:14:32 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (thank you, Marie)
20|04:14:35 <@Lori-R-MET> They've been called back
20|04:14:35 <@Marie-O-NOM> thank you
20|04:14:39 <@Lori-R-MET> They're all headed deeper in
20|04:14:41 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Hmm... multicorder's working again... not that I need footage of this...
20|04:14:43 <@Lori-R-MET> THis is gonna be trouble
20|04:14:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> well, we're safe for now
20|04:14:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> and I seriously stress the "for now"
20|04:14:55 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|04:14:55 <@Marie-O-NOM> naruto seriously
20|04:14:56 <@Cleo-R-ARC> so the ones that saw us...
20|04:14:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> if they're all converging...
20|04:15:02 <@Martin-R-QUE> lori, I have an idea...
20|04:15:04 <@Cleo-R-ARC> weren't LOOKING for us...
20|04:15:04 <@Lori-R-MET> What?
20|04:15:09 <@Lori-R-MET> No, they were probably patrolling
20|04:15:14 <@Lori-R-MET> THe nannybot got an upload off
20|04:15:15 <@Cleo-R-ARC> just bad timing on our parts, huh?
20|04:15:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> if they end up all on one location, H.E.H.E.
20|04:15:17 <@Lori-R-MET> So now they're ready
20|04:15:32 <@Lori-R-MET> Martin, I'll consider it, but ECMs would be more effective if they're THAT dense
20|04:15:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~nods~
20|04:15:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> still
20|04:15:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> do remember your loadout
20|04:15:48 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I am SO glad I requested those...
20|04:16:04 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: What DID make you so insistent on the ECM grenades, Leader?
20|04:16:06 <@Martin-R-QUE> I feel like we should never leave PLC without them ever again >_>
20|04:16:10 <@Lori-R-MET> EVER
20|04:16:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> too bad my surrogate tear gas won't exactly work on bots...
20|04:16:29 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Honestly? then again you'd know, right...? I figured if anything was going to happen... it'd be something like this...
20|04:16:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> though if I FIND the ones responsible for this...
20|04:16:37  * Cleo-R-ARC grins
20|04:16:37 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: just... well... not like... THIS
20|04:16:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> cleo, I suggest tying them to a chair and forcefeeding the chips
20|04:17:06 <@Lori-R-MET> Good luck getting them to hold still.
20|04:17:12 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I have better ideas than you, Martin
20|04:17:14 <@Lori-R-MET> Maybe we can do that when we find out who's in charge of this
20|04:17:23 <@Martin-R-QUE> I trust in that, Cleo >_>
20|04:17:30 <@Lori-R-MET> Lets find me more network nodes
20|04:17:36 <@Cleo-R-ARC> anyway, we should move, yes
20|04:17:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
20|04:17:41 <@Lori-R-MET> Maybe I can get better intel
20|04:17:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we'll probably have a while before another patrol shows up on this path
20|04:17:48 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Martin... check and see if the programming for this thing is tampered with on a base level
20|04:17:53 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~nods~
20|04:17:59 <@Lori-R-MET> And try to find out the new killword equivalent
20|04:18:04 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~checks on the streetsweeper~
20|04:18:20 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|04:18:21 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 1 [1d20=1]
20|04:18:41 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (brbsec, milk refill)
20|04:18:49 <@Alpha-Complex> "The data of the bot comes online, giving Martin-R complee access to its subsystems."
20|04:18:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~grins~
20|04:19:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (HOLY SHIT)
20|04:19:01 <@Martin-R-QUE> now THIS is where it gets FUN
20|04:19:06 <@Lori-R-MET> Awesome!
20|04:19:09 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: What? Something good?
20|04:19:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> hehe...
20|04:19:17 <@Lori-R-MET> Give me all its network data, please!
20|04:19:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> I can see the entire network from here
20|04:19:22 <@Alpha-Complex> "Jia-R smiles and moves up."
20|04:19:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~hooks up Lori's PINN to the bot~
20|04:19:30 <@Lori-R-MET> And FIND ThAT KILLCODE
20|04:19:49 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~checks for the killword sequence~
20|04:19:55 <@Martin-R-QUE> they usually don't remove it...
20|04:20:02 <@Martin-R-QUE> they just switch the word to something no one will ever, EVER say
20|04:20:07 <@Marie-O-NOM> the word refused
20|04:20:08 <@Alpha-Complex> "The bot's data streams into Lori's PINN and reveals various bot 'nests' comprised of smaller bots each led by a NannyBot"
20|04:20:17 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...led...by nannybots?
20|04:20:23 <@Lori-R-MET> interesting
20|04:20:23 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|04:20:25 <@Martin-R-QUE> that makes sense
20|04:20:29 <@Lori-R-MET> So we need to take those down first.
20|04:20:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> that would be why the nannybot transmitted
20|04:20:30 <@Lori-R-MET> hmm
20|04:20:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> while the others didn't
20|04:20:41 <@Lori-R-MET> We disabled the others with ECM
20|04:20:44 <@Lori-R-MET> they couldnt get back online
20|04:20:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> we shot that one's brain.
20|04:20:55 <@Lori-R-MET> Backup systems
20|04:20:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> anyway
20|04:21:00 <@Alpha-Complex> "The system also shows that there are multiple patrolling Model 9 bots throughout the sector, but in total, only 23 are active."
20|04:21:05 <@Cleo-R-ARC> yes, nannybots SPECIALIZE in transmitting data...
20|04:21:06 <@Lori-R-MET> the ECM fries everything
20|04:21:09 <@Martin-R-QUE> think about this for a second, lori
20|04:21:11 <@Lori-R-MET> mm
20|04:21:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> this is a sector where NO HUMANS have been for a WHILE
20|04:21:23 <@Lori-R-MET> That you know of
20|04:21:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> and so the bots who are designed to take care of others...
20|04:21:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> end up becoming the leaders...
20|04:21:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> interesting
20|04:21:40 <@Lori-R-MET> Indeed
20|04:21:46 <@Alpha-Complex> "Finally, the system shows the most sinister thing of all. All Spybots in the sector are uplinked to the NannyBots."
20|04:21:59 <@Lori-R-MET> I need another nannybot
20|04:22:00 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh...oh my.
20|04:22:05 <@Lori-R-MET> Intact.
20|04:22:16 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: That's not a good 'oh my', is it?
20|04:22:17 <@Lori-R-MET> [Which was this one's controller?  The one we took out, or another?]
20|04:22:24 <@Martin-R-QUE> not at ALL, Pauline-R
20|04:22:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> bloody hell
20|04:22:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> then the nannybots must be running the system
20|04:22:36 <@Lori-R-MET> The bots have better intel than we even expected
20|04:22:39 <@Lori-R-MET> No
20|04:22:43 <@Lori-R-MET> They're squad leaders
20|04:22:44 <@Marie-O-NOM> and no more than 1
20|04:22:46 <@Lori-R-MET> They've got a commander
20|04:22:52 <@Lori-R-MET> That's who we need to find
20|04:23:03 <@Alpha-Complex> "The data shows that the NannyBot that was destroyed was connected to both these, as well as various smaller model bots in the area. Those smaller bots are now in various hiding places in standby mode."
20|04:23:05 <@Lori-R-MET> Everything makes its way deeper in..
20|04:23:16 <@Lori-R-MET> Want more bots to dissect?
20|04:23:23 <@Lori-R-MET> The nanny's other minions are in standby
20|04:23:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> so if we kill the leaders, they either go wild on us or standby
20|04:23:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I gotta admit
20|04:23:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> but the rest of them don't seem to be following us
20|04:23:37 <@Martin-R-QUE> squads.
20|04:23:39 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Should we retreat?
20|04:23:40 <@Lori-R-MET> ..We should probably deactivate them properly now
20|04:23:41 <@Martin-R-QUE> they react to threats, don't they?
20|04:23:44  * Cleo-R-ARC twirls a RED
20|04:23:44 <@Lori-R-MET> So they cant come back up
20|04:23:51 <@Cleo-R-ARC> that is one BADASS Nanny
20|04:24:08 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: can we take control of this one? Or is that risky considering they're all linked up?
20|04:24:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> we should be able to
20|04:24:16 <@Lori-R-MET> hmm
20|04:24:18 <@Lori-R-MET> Martin?
20|04:24:18 <@Lori-R-MET> k
20|04:24:24 <@Marie-O-NOM> its boring one ?
20|04:24:25 <@Cleo-R-ARC> better than not trying!
20|04:24:26 <@Lori-R-MET> Ill link you to the others that Nanny controlled.
20|04:24:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> haven't done this in a while so let's see
20|04:24:27 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Try disconnecting it from the network now that we have our data
20|04:24:37 <@Lori-R-MET> Or should we disable them more directly?
20|04:24:38 <@Alpha-Complex> 1d20
20|04:24:38 <+Dice-Bot> Alpha-Complex, 1d20: 9 [1d20=9]
20|04:25:02 <@Alpha-Complex> "Martin-R successfully syntacs the bot, disconnecting it from the network."
20|04:25:15 <@Alpha-Complex> "The ECM wears off a moment later."
20|04:25:24 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh bloody hell
20|04:25:34 <@Lori-R-MET> PULL POWER
20|04:25:36 <@Alpha-Complex> SweeperBot: Awaiting instructions.
20|04:25:40 <@Lori-R-MET> mm
20|04:25:41 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...wait...
20|04:25:42 <@Lori-R-MET> neutral now
20|04:25:44 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we're good!
20|04:25:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> hello, sweeperbot
20|04:25:51 <@Lori-R-MET> So they're not being reconfigured.. Just overridden
20|04:25:54 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
20|04:25:59 <@Lori-R-MET> Good to know
20|04:26:00 <@Alpha-Complex> SweeperBot: What are your instructions?
20|04:26:00 <@Martin-R-QUE> the network is their control
20|04:26:05 <@Lori-R-MET> We need to take out communications infrastructure
20|04:26:07 <@Lori-R-MET> Nto take it over.
20|04:26:14 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (data playback possible?)
20|04:26:24 <@Alpha-Complex> (playback?)
20|04:26:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (maintenance history list, recording of some sort, anything before it was overridden?)
20|04:26:56 <@Martin-R-QUE> cleo, a streetsweeper wouldn't...do that
20|04:27:03 <@Martin-R-QUE> it'd have SENSORS but I doubt it'd record any of that
20|04:27:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> well
20|04:27:06  * Lori-R-MET attempts to check whose command codes were used to activate it
20|04:27:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> I guess we can try
20|04:27:28 <@Martin-R-QUE> sweeperbot, when was the last time maintenance was done on you?
20|04:28:13 <@Alpha-Complex> SweeperBot: Last Maintenance was 12 hours 22 minutes ago
20|04:28:44 <@Lori-R-MET> Who initiated it?
20|04:28:57 <@Lori-R-MET> Also, Do we want to try to convert them or break them?
20|04:29:00 <@Martin-R-QUE> 12 hours...
20|04:29:06 <@Martin-R-QUE> detail maintenance procedure
20|04:29:12 <@Alpha-Complex> SweeperBot: There is no record of initiation by any external entity.
20|04:29:14 <@Marie-O-NOM> convert everyone ever to release a fully formed sentence that refers
20|04:29:25 <@Lori-R-MET> The nanny had other minions
20|04:29:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> (Marie is awfully insightful)
20|04:29:28 <@Alpha-Complex> SweeperBot: System Error?
20|04:29:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...ah.
20|04:29:33  * Marie-O-NOM do u have same no
20|04:29:38 <@Martin-R-QUE> they cleared the records didn't they
20|04:29:39 <@Lori-R-MET> Jia, take them over or send self-destruct?
20|04:29:45 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I expected as much
20|04:29:58 <@Alpha-Complex> SweeperBot: Last maintenance was initiated by... SweeperBot model 9 T4-DX
20|04:30:01 <@Martin-R-QUE> "System error" means they're corrupted in some way to avoid being read
20|04:30:08 <@Cleo-R-ARC> I see...
20|04:30:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|04:30:13 <@Martin-R-QUE> that...
20|04:30:17 <@Cleo-R-ARC> have one spread it to the others, huh?
20|04:30:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> it's a bot society...
20|04:30:27 <@Lori-R-MET> Best way
20|04:30:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> one gains the power
20|04:30:30 <@Lori-R-MET> THen destroy the original
20|04:30:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> and then the others are spread
20|04:30:34 <@Alpha-Complex> SweeperBot: Maintenance performed by Fixabot Model 7 GG-O5
20|04:30:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> hm...
20|04:31:08 <@Cleo-R-ARC> we still don't know WHO started this off, or if it was simply happenstance after the reactor incident
20|04:31:10 <@Martin-R-QUE> lori, you said they were all converging on one location, yes?
20|04:31:12 <@Lori-R-MET> hmm,,
20|04:31:14 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: This would make SUCH a cool Vidshow series if I wasn't living through it.
20|04:31:16 <@Lori-R-MET> They're all headed further in
20|04:31:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
20|04:31:21 <@Martin-R-QUE> and we have a bot here
20|04:31:23 <@Lori-R-MET> They all link in a tree down to one base
20|04:31:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> does it have cameras?
20|04:31:30 <@Marie-O-NOM> they do it back on everything right now
20|04:31:33 <@Lori-R-MET> But.. its not a bot
20|04:31:36 <@Lori-R-MET> I dont know WHAT it is
20|04:31:44 <@Martin-R-QUE> or some sort of sensor I can use remotely
20|04:31:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> if it has network uplinks
20|04:31:51 <@Cleo-R-ARC> whoever set this up was thorough, there's probably no functional cameras in the crucial areas
20|04:31:53 <@Martin-R-QUE> I can probably link it to my PDC alone
20|04:32:02 <@Marie-O-NOM> dont complete enough duels for me, he was like that it seems to be your friend
20|04:32:03 <@Martin-R-QUE> and then we can send the bot into that spot
20|04:32:06 <@Martin-R-QUE> and see what we can find
20|04:32:13 <@Martin-R-QUE> I would rather risk that than ourselves...
20|04:32:19 <@Cleo-R-ARC> that's a good point
20|04:32:30 <@Cleo-R-ARC> if they reassimilate the bot somehow, we can at least see how it is done
20|04:32:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> exactly
20|04:32:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> we win out either way
20|04:32:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> any objections or comments?
20|04:32:55 <@Cleo-R-ARC> and this guy ain't the most threatening opponent
20|04:32:59  * Cleo-R-ARC pets the bot
20|04:33:01 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: So we're letting it go?
20|04:33:04 <@Marie-O-NOM> people threatening to allow it
20|04:33:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> under our control, yes
20|04:33:13 <@Lori-R-MET> What's your plan?
20|04:33:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> (I just detailed it. Read up.)
20|04:33:25 <@Lori-R-MET> And do you want to take over the rest of its squad?
20|04:33:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> take it over HOW?
20|04:33:38 <@Lori-R-MET> They're all siting in standby
20|04:33:44 <@Lori-R-MET> like I said
20|04:33:46 <@Cleo-R-ARC> he shows no outward signs of damage... a de facto spy sorta thing might just work
20|04:33:46 <@Marie-O-NOM> spy
20|04:33:59 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: because we destroyed the Nanny?
20|04:34:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> right
20|04:34:11 <@Martin-R-QUE> they're hiding because they're small, weaponless and leaderless
20|04:34:14 <@Martin-R-QUE> NOT because we can take them over
20|04:34:17 <@Martin-R-QUE> and if we approach them
20|04:34:19 <@Lori-R-MET> Yes
20|04:34:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> they will probably lunge at us
20|04:34:23 <@Lori-R-MET> The nannys run the show
20|04:34:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> I would rather send THIS bot deeper in and find out what we can about this whole ordeal
20|04:34:37 <@Lori-R-MET> I didnt say Hiding, Martin
20|04:34:39 <@Lori-R-MET> I said Standby mode
20|04:34:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> because if we can get a glimpse of what is happening to these bots
20|04:34:49 <@Lori-R-MET> Jia, should I kill them or are we trying to convert them?
20|04:34:54 <@Martin-R-QUE> we may be able to find out just WHAT is happening in this sector
20|04:35:02 <@Martin-R-QUE> and then we can report to Friend Computer and GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE
20|04:35:07 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I'm trying to figure out how this relates to the Mission part
20|04:35:13 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Yes, Martin has it
20|04:35:26 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Even if we report this as is, our mission will probably just get changed.
20|04:35:39 <@Cleo-R-ARC> yes, in the meantime we can continue searching
20|04:35:46 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Com's back up by the... way...
20|04:35:46 <@Cleo-R-ARC> while at the same time gathering data from the bot...
20|04:35:51 <@Lori-R-MET> This is GREEN level work
20|04:35:55 <@Lori-R-MET> or should be
20|04:35:58 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: I just got really scared.
20|04:36:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Martin, check on Sonny again
20|04:36:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|04:36:19 <@Martin-R-QUE> what is it, Pauline?
20|04:36:19 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: It can't have been anyone in the other sectors delaying us.
20|04:36:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> did he eat all our chocoyums >_>
20|04:36:31 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: that... probably all came from HERE
20|04:36:34 <@Cleo-R-ARC> check!
20|04:36:39 <@Lori-R-MET> Yes, probably
20|04:36:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> you know, pauline
20|04:36:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> all our delays
20|04:36:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> have come from bots
20|04:36:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> or bot-related systems
20|04:36:53 <@Lori-R-MET> Except the first.
20|04:36:56 <@Martin-R-QUE> well yes
20|04:37:00 <@Martin-R-QUE> but think about it
20|04:37:04 <@Lori-R-MET> But that could easily be over the net
20|04:37:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC> oh...
20|04:37:11 <@Martin-R-QUE> there's secret societies that are run FOR bots
20|04:37:11 <@Cleo-R-ARC> oh God...
20|04:37:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> remember?
20|04:37:13 <@Marie-O-NOM> my god
20|04:37:22 <@Martin-R-QUE> so this could have been arranged from the BEGINNING
20|04:37:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> so that we would come here late
20|04:37:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> weaponless
20|04:37:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> or dead
20|04:37:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> giving them enough time to kick us the fuck out of the sector
20|04:37:51 <@Cleo-R-ARC> check on Sonny!
20|04:38:01 <@Cleo-R-ARC> the bot is still in charge of our vehicle
20|04:38:03 <@Cleo-R-ARC> if anything happened...
20|04:38:05  * Lori-R-MET sighs
20|04:38:12 <@Lori-R-MET> Martin, Jia, I'm killin gthe other bots unless someone objects
20|04:38:19 <@Cleo-R-ARC> can you get a camera feed?
20|04:38:19 <@Lori-R-MET> We only need the one spy, right?
20|04:39:01 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: I'm not sure about it. This one stopped because we disconnected it from the network
20|04:39:03 <@Martin-R-QUE> they're already dead?
20|04:39:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> we shot the nanny's brain
20|04:39:13 <@Martin-R-QUE> and cut the power to the other one
20|04:39:14 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: it's not really a 'spy' if we send it back into the network
20|04:39:18 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'm PRETTY SURE THEY WON'T GET BACK UP
20|04:39:20 <@Lori-R-MET> We dont need another Nanny taking them over, Martin9~.
20|04:40:09 <@Cleo-R-ARC> yeah, so unless you can ensure we can retain control somehow...
20|04:40:13 <@Cleo-R-ARC> best to continue on foot >.<
20|04:41:11 <@Alpha-Complex> "The standby bots on Lori's PINN screen all activate."
20|04:41:25 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh bloody hell
20|04:41:29 <@Martin-R-QUE> ready your weapons, people
20|04:41:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> we might have company
20|04:41:32 <@Lori-R-MET> Relax, I just sent them a kill
20|04:41:39 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|04:41:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> oh okay
20|04:41:56 <@Alpha-Complex> "The standby bots begin to move in the directions of the two other nearby grouping nodes."
20|04:42:26 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Wait let me see... what's going on?
20|04:42:36 <@Lori-R-MET> Looks like they didn't take the kill..
20|04:42:37 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Something's happening?
20|04:42:47 <@Lori-R-MET> So inert bots ARE a threat
20|04:42:55 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Are they com-... no, they're... retreating? Is that retreating?
20|04:42:58 <@Lori-R-MET> We're going to need to disable them fully
20|04:43:00 <@Lori-R-MET> Yes
20|04:43:03 <@Lori-R-MET> EVERYTHING's retreating
20|04:43:06 <@Martin-R-QUE> they're going back into the center
20|04:43:08 <@Lori-R-MET> They're moving in for a tighter defense
20|04:43:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> again
20|04:43:12 <@Martin-R-QUE> let's send this thing in
20|04:43:14 <@Lori-R-MET> Thats a Bad thing
20|04:43:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> and find out what the "center" is
20|04:43:22 <@Marie-O-NOM> ^ read'has been known to be bad
20|04:43:24 <@Lori-R-MET> Yeah.
20|04:43:25 <@Lori-R-MET> Uh
20|04:43:35 <@Lori-R-MET> Cloe, can you set a bomb in it?
20|04:43:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> we might get a few split seconds of feed before it's reassimilated
20|04:43:42 <@Martin-R-QUE> not a big deal
20|04:43:42 <@Lori-R-MET> Trigger when maintenance mode is activted
20|04:43:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> they'll probably s-
20|04:43:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|04:43:47 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: So are we just giving it new bot orders?
20|04:43:49 <@Martin-R-QUE> that's a REALLY GOOD IDEA
20|04:43:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> and hooking up its sensor feed to a PDC
20|04:44:02 <@Martin-R-QUE> any objections?
20|04:44:03 <@Lori-R-MET> Pauline, basically.  and having it send us recon
20|04:44:13 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: No problems from me.
20|04:44:26  * Cleo-R-ARC nibbles on a chip and nods
20|04:44:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> (guys I have to be awake in 8.5 hours)
20|04:44:27 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Alright, do it
20|04:44:29 <@Martin-R-QUE> (just saying)
20|04:44:41 <@Alpha-Complex> (yes, scene ends in 15)
20|04:44:50 <@Lori-R-MET> Can we get the bomb?
20|04:44:53 <@Lori-R-MET> Or dont we have anything to use
20|04:44:56 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (what about Sonny Dx)
20|04:45:14 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Pauline, check on Sonny?
20|04:45:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> cleo, plant a bom-
20|04:45:31 <@Martin-R-QUE> ...
20|04:45:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> Cleo plant a H.E.H.E. on the bot
20|04:45:48  * Cleo-R-ARC nods and motions to Jia
20|04:45:50 <@Lori-R-MET> Then we have to avoid it
20|04:45:55 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Lori*
20|04:45:56 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: alright
20|04:45:57 <@Lori-R-MET> But if that's all weve got, yeah
20|04:46:05 <@Lori-R-MET> H.E.H.E then?
20|04:46:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> yes.
20|04:46:08  * Lori-R-MET supplies one
20|04:46:19 <@Lori-R-MET> (damit martin stop stealin my non-mission equipment :()
20|04:46:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'm not stealing it
20|04:46:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> YOU'RE taking my ECMs
20|04:46:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> cause I can't throw them
20|04:46:36 <@Alpha-Complex> (over com) Sonny-R: What's going on out there?! I tried to call you all like five times! The Transbot went nuts and I had to blow its head off!
20|04:46:45 <@Martin-R-QUE> and you haven't used a single HEHE yet >_>
20|04:46:47 <@Cleo-R-ARC> that's what we were afraid of!
20|04:46:48 <@Lori-R-MET> (you gave it to me.  and I used the second one from my OWN supply.  we EACH got 5)
20|04:46:56 <@Martin-R-QUE> ~sigh~
20|04:47:04 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (HEHEs can be remotely detonated right?)
20|04:47:05 <@Martin-R-QUE> Sonny-R, we've been getting a LOT of crazy bots here
20|04:47:10 <@Lori-R-MET> Cleo-R-ARC,They're grenades
20|04:47:11 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: We're more or less aware, Sonny...
20|04:47:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> we aren't remotely detonating it, cleo
20|04:47:28 <@Lori-R-MET> Can you get the bot to trigger it on maintenance-mode?
20|04:47:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> we're wiring the bot to detonate it when maintenance mode is triggered
20|04:47:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> understand?
20|04:47:35 <@Alpha-Complex> Sonny-R: so wait, should I come out then?
20|04:47:37 <@Lori-R-MET> or command transfer, if possible
20|04:47:40 <@Martin-R-QUE> no, actually
20|04:47:40  * Cleo-R-ARC nods and plants it carefully
20|04:47:43 <@Martin-R-QUE> it would be best if you keep watch
20|04:48:00 <@Martin-R-QUE> there may be more things lurking and it would be good if we have our escape route covered
20|04:48:06 <@Lori-R-MET> anduh
20|04:48:14 <@Lori-R-MET> Make sure water will take the bot out.
20|04:48:26 <@Martin-R-QUE> um
20|04:48:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'm pretty sure a flood would take out most bots
20|04:48:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> what do you think, Cleo?
20|04:48:40 <@Alpha-Complex> "Cleo-R has set an explosive charge on the SweeperBot that als contains a H.E.H.E."
20|04:48:44 <@Martin-R-QUE> you've worked with military hardware before, those are the toughest ones
20|04:48:57 <@Lori-R-MET> ok
20|04:48:58 <@Lori-R-MET> lets do this thing
20|04:49:00 <@Cleo-R-ARC> these ones DO tend to be quite prone to shorting out...
20|04:49:06 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: It's a StreetSweeper, I don't think water is going to bother it.
20|04:49:13 <@Lori-R-MET> Thats exactly my point, Jia
20|04:49:31 <@Lori-R-MET> And why I'm hesitant to waste the H.E.H.E
20|04:49:34 <@Martin-R-QUE> then what do we do, plant an ECM? That'll just piss them off temporarily
20|04:49:38 <@Martin-R-QUE> our best bet is the H.E.H.E.
20|04:49:40 <@Lori-R-MET> but Martin thinks itll work
20|04:49:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> wait!
20|04:49:43 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: yeah but the damage from the regular bomb should make the water work.
20|04:49:46 <@Lori-R-MET> Martin, or Cloe's explosives she just planted
20|04:49:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> hm?
20|04:49:50 <@Lori-R-MET> hmm?
20|04:49:52 <@Martin-R-QUE> what is it, cleo?
20|04:50:18 <@Cleo-R-ARC> what if we can rig it to electrify the flood?
20|04:50:24 <@Lori-R-MET> Ooohhhhh
20|04:50:26 <@Lori-R-MET> Yes!
20|04:50:29 <@Lori-R-MET> Wait
20|04:50:30 <@Lori-R-MET> NO
20|04:50:35 <@Lori-R-MET> Then if we end up in it,we're dead
20|04:50:37 <@Martin-R-QUE> that...
20|04:50:39 <@Cleo-R-ARC> that would take them all out
20|04:50:43 <@Martin-R-QUE> that wouldn't really...
20|04:50:47 <@Lori-R-MET> We need more direct control of that version
20|04:50:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC> if we can find an area above where the flood would hit...
20|04:50:57 <@Martin-R-QUE> cleo, HOW WOULD YOU ELECTRIFY IT
20|04:50:59 <@Lori-R-MET> Cleo-R-ARC, right. tha would be perfect, but this bomb is going off Randomly
20|04:51:03 <@Marie-O-NOM> wouldn't i wasn't really find a better and at the wrong moment xd
20|04:51:04 <@Lori-R-MET> Martin-R-QUE, an ECM.
20|04:51:15 <@Lori-R-MET> Guys...
20|04:51:16 <@Lori-R-MET> We're in trouble
20|04:51:20 <@Lori-R-MET> THey're comign or us
20|04:51:23 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: What, again?
20|04:51:26 <@Lori-R-MET> A LOT of them are comign for us
20|04:51:29 <@Martin-R-QUE> okay fuck this
20|04:51:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> rig up the bot
20|04:51:32 <@Martin-R-QUE> let's run for it
20|04:51:33 <@Lori-R-MET> from multiple nodes
20|04:51:34 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Oh.
20|04:51:38 <@Martin-R-QUE> we plant the bot
20|04:51:43 <@Martin-R-QUE> and set it off once we're out
20|04:51:48  * Lori-R-MET sighs
20|04:51:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC> Operation: electric flood or no?
20|04:51:50 <@Lori-R-MET> No
20|04:51:54 <@Cleo-R-ARC> aww...
20|04:51:59 <@Lori-R-MET> Martin, that is the opposite of the point of the explosives
20|04:52:05 <@Lori-R-MET> Cleo, We'll trigger that one Manually
20|04:52:07 <@Martin-R-QUE> lori, it's that or we die
20|04:52:15 <@Martin-R-QUE> would you prefer death?
20|04:52:16 <@Lori-R-MET> Martin, Based on nothing.
20|04:52:19 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Just blow it up... what we need is to mess with their spybots so they can't track us.
20|04:52:27  * Cleo-R-ARC nods
20|04:52:30 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: This has just become an infiltration mission.
20|04:52:34 <@Cleo-R-ARC> yes, it has
20|04:52:58 <@Lori-R-MET> And a hunting mission.
20|04:53:07 <@Lori-R-MET> If we take down the Nannys, they lose their bots
20|04:53:13 <@Martin-R-QUE> right. good.
20|04:53:20 <@Martin-R-QUE> but if we don't MOVE we're going to get killed by a bunch of bots
20|04:53:25 <@Martin-R-QUE> so rig up the explosives, cleo
20|04:53:25 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: How many would we have to take out?
20|04:53:35 <@Martin-R-QUE> we run off a safe distance
20|04:53:40  * Lori-R-MET counts
20|04:53:41 <@Martin-R-QUE> and blow them up when they converge
20|04:53:42 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (explosives have already been planted on the bot, Osagi)
20|04:53:50 <@Martin-R-QUE> (alright sorry)
20|04:53:50 <@Lori-R-MET> [how many squad leaders?]
20|04:54:02 <@Martin-R-QUE> (mother is bitching at me because I'm awake)
20|04:54:10 <@Marie-O-NOM> i mean is awake ?
20|04:54:13 <@Alpha-Complex> (counting the one you all took out, 24 + the phantom central)
20|04:54:21 <@Cleo-R-ARC> (though, perhaps I should remove our HEHE?)
20|04:54:23 <@Lori-R-MET> There are 24 squads
20|04:54:26 <@Lori-R-MET> We need a better way
20|04:54:28 <@Lori-R-MET> Yes
20|04:54:37 <@Lori-R-MET> If your explosives are good, its a wildcard that DOESNT favor us
20|04:54:39  * Lori-R-MET reclaims it
20|04:54:48 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Way too many... and we can't really retreat either unless we are going out of the sector
20|04:54:55 <@Lori-R-MET> So we need to vanish
20|04:54:57 <@Marie-O-NOM> will vanish
20|04:55:00 <@Alpha-Complex> Jia-R: Alright, fan out and find a spybot!
20|04:55:03 <@Lori-R-MET> Lets find a spybot and see what we can do with their eyes
20|04:55:22 <@Cleo-R-ARC> maybe they WILL make this a vidshow...
20|04:55:31 <@Lori-R-MET> THat would be AWESOME
20|04:56:29 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Hmm... spybots work on imaging software I know...
20|04:56:43  * Lori-R-MET heads off in search, keeping careful eye on the network
20|04:56:45 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: if you can get me to one, I can mask it so that the bot doesn't go off
20|04:56:49 <@Lori-R-MET> Good
20|04:56:53 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: It just doesn't show US
20|04:56:59 <@Lori-R-MET> That's exactly what we need
20|04:57:02 <@Lori-R-MET> Especially if its viral
20|04:57:02 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: Just a room or something with nothing in it
20|04:57:13 <@Lori-R-MET> Can you do that?
20|04:57:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> very nice...
20|04:57:19 <@Lori-R-MET> Shows everything but us?
20|04:57:23 <@Lori-R-MET> and viral
20|04:57:30 <@Lori-R-MET> I'll get it uploaded
20|04:57:33 <@Cleo-R-ARC> alright, let's go!
20|04:57:33 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: It SHOULD work if I set up the cam right. I'd just be image editing...
20|04:57:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> I've got a bit of...ahem...network knowledge
20|04:57:47 <@Martin-R-QUE> I should be able to get it onto everyone
20|04:57:48 <@Martin-R-QUE> so
20|04:57:49 <@Alpha-Complex> "Jia-R moves off in search of Spybot"
20|04:57:49 <@Cleo-R-ARC> i'll take point
20|04:57:51 <@Martin-R-QUE> is that our plan then?
20|04:57:58 <@Lori-R-MET> The spybots will be mobile though, Pauline
20|04:58:03 <@Lori-R-MET> Can you rig it up to happen realtime>
20|04:58:41 <@Martin-R-QUE> pauline, I have an idea
20|04:58:46  * Lori-R-MET heads off in search of the spybots
20|04:58:46 <@Martin-R-QUE> record a video of some empty hallway here
20|04:58:46 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: I can't just edit us OUT no matter what... we'd have to hide somewhere
20|04:58:53 <@Lori-R-MET> k
20|04:58:56 <@Cleo-R-ARC> i'll cover Pauline, since she has no shotgun
20|04:58:58 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: That's what I'm talking about
20|04:59:16 <@Martin-R-QUE> I SHOULD be able to replace their video feed with that...hopefully
20|04:59:21 <@Marie-O-NOM> i feed you
20|04:59:41 <@Alpha-Complex> Pauline-R: I feel so much better with a plan...
20|04:59:44 <@Alpha-Complex> (End Scene)
20|04:59:45 <@Cleo-R-ARC> let's go, Pauline!
20|04:59:48 <@Cleo-R-ARC> oh ok
20|04:59:59 <@Alpha-Complex> Sleep well, Rabbit
20|05:00:04 <@Alpha-Complex> everything willbe fine tomorrow
20|05:00:15 <@Lori-R-MET> vinu when are you going to b around tomorow?
20|05:00:27 <@Martin-R-QUE> no idea
20|05:00:29 <@Kafan> k
20|05:00:30 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'll see
20|05:00:33 <@Kafan> gnite
20|05:00:33 <@Martin-R-QUE> at worst
20|05:00:36 <@Martin-R-QUE> I'll be back after 6
20|05:00:37 <@Martin-R-QUE> okay?
20|05:00:37 <@Kafan> Did you work on the database much at all?
20|05:00:41 <@Martin-R-QUE> not that much
20|05:00:44 <@Martin-R-QUE> I ended up playing beatles rock band
20|05:00:45 <@Kafan> mk
20|05:00:58 <@Martin-R-QUE> I...
20|05:01:04 <@Martin-R-QUE> I find it hard to trust that everything will be fine
20|05:01:08 <@Martin-R-QUE> but I guess that's just how it works
