  1. [2011-12-27 20:31:24] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind prepares to go to the desert outpost. There are things she still wants to know about that place
  2. [2011-12-27 20:32:05] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan heads on out of the sub.
  3. [2011-12-27 20:32:15] <Scantron> As does Spencer.
  4. [2011-12-27 20:32:27] <Scantron> "Mr. Patton, we are going to have to discuss this at some point."
  5. [2011-12-27 20:32:36] <Mr_Wilt> He continues to ignore the fuck out of Spencer.
  6. [2011-12-27 20:32:45] <Pryor> Joseph walks in, "I've had an idea, Rosalind"
  7. [2011-12-27 20:33:07] <Tara_Unknown> "What is it?" She seems excited
  8. [2011-12-27 20:33:19] <Pryor> "let's get the lass a TV and a pair of headphones
  9. [2011-12-27 20:33:21] <Pryor> "
  10. [2011-12-27 20:33:28] <Pryor> "maybe a pair of glasses"
  11. [2011-12-27 20:33:43] <Tara_Unknown> "She might find those all a bit strange"
  12. [2011-12-27 20:33:53] <Salmander> It's night time in the dsert
  13. [2011-12-27 20:34:07] <Salmander> A small lizard skitters by
  14. [2011-12-27 20:34:10] <Scantron> Spencer puts his hand on Mr. Patton's shoulder. "Seriously. We can talk about this at a time you find more opportune, but you will have to at least acknowledge me." Spencer's voice is firm.
  15. [2011-12-27 20:34:11] <Pryor> "aye, but I'm sure she'll get used to them, and It'll help her ignore the flowers"
  16. [2011-12-27 20:34:17] <Salmander> It's cooler than usual

  18. [2011-12-27 20:34:44] <Mr_Wilt> "I don't have to do anything." Nolan heads on over to the gate, nodding at the guards.
  19. [2011-12-27 20:35:22] <Scantron> "Nolan. Are we on a team, or are we on a soap opera. This is childish, and believe me, I would know about childishness."
  20. [2011-12-27 20:35:36] <Scantron> Spencer also nods to the guards on his way out.
  21. [2011-12-27 20:35:51] <Tara_Unknown> "It might help, it might not." Rosalind heads past the guards, smiling at them as she passes
  22. [2011-12-27 20:36:13] <Salmander> The path to the village is illuminated by small solar lights
  23. [2011-12-27 20:36:43] <Pryor> Joseph follows suit, cheery as always
  24. [2011-12-27 20:37:13] <Mr_Wilt> "Oh, we-" he motions toward the others. "-are on a team. You and I? Not so much." Nolan continues toward the village.

  26. [2011-12-27 20:39:40] <Scantron> "Because I got drunk and hit on Eva? That would be reason to be angry at me, or violent even. To not be friends, almost certainly. But when it comes to missions, we need to be able to trust each other. I would take a bullet for you, all things considered. I need to know whether you would trust me to do so."
  27. [2011-12-27 20:39:43] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind takes in the village at night. She hopes the bickering doesn't get in the way of their work
  28. [2011-12-27 20:40:08] <Mr_Wilt> "I wouldn't."
  29. [2011-12-27 20:40:21] <Scantron> "Why not?"

  32. [2011-12-27 20:40:48] <Scantron> "Tell me, so I can try and fix it."
  33. [2011-12-27 20:40:51] <Mr_Wilt> "I've never trusted you much to begin with, Spencer." He waves him off. "Look, this isn't the place to discuss this. We can talk about it later."
  34. [2011-12-27 20:41:15] <Scantron> "Fine. But can we at least agree to communicate on missions?"
  35. [2011-12-27 20:41:32] <Mr_Wilt> "If the need arises."
  36. [2011-12-27 20:41:43] <Scantron> Spencer nods. This is acceptable.
  37. [2011-12-27 20:42:55] <Pryor> [can you hold out nolan? want me to try to keep him away from you?] Joseph says in gaelic

  40. [2011-12-27 20:43:35] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan hurries down into the crypt to check up on the gangster that is White Face.
  41. [2011-12-27 20:43:46] <Salmander> Gangsta be hangin
  42. [2011-12-27 20:45:09] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind looks around to see what is happening in the area. Is the Ska Rabmush about?
  43. [2011-12-27 20:45:31] <Mr_Wilt> "What's going on, White Face?" Nolan throws up some gang signs.
  44. [2011-12-27 20:45:49] <Salmander> It is, next to the crypt, as always
  45. [2011-12-27 20:45:56] <Scantron> Lacking anything better to do, Spencer takes out his notepad of graph paper and makes observations.
  46. [2011-12-27 20:45:56] <Salmander> The mask keeps hanging
  47. [2011-12-27 20:46:48] <Pryor> Joseph just stands around , keeping an eye on spencer, but not really doing much
  48. [2011-12-27 20:46:52] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan removes the Eagleman Skull and places White Face on it.
  49. [2011-12-27 20:46:58] <Mr_Wilt> He wants to catch up with his gangster home boy.
  50. [2011-12-27 20:48:06] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind goes to the Ska Rabmush control room. "Scarab. I would like to know the basic history of the area you know of"
  51. [2011-12-27 20:48:50] <Salmander> The skull gains a purple body. ~Why have you disturbed me so?~
  52. [2011-12-27 20:49:07] <Salmander> Control room: ~Specify~
  53. [2011-12-27 20:49:08] <Pryor> "woah.." joseph says
  54. [2011-12-27 20:49:53] <Mr_Wilt> "Just checking up on you, White Face. Haven't talked to you in a bit."
  55. [2011-12-27 20:50:25] <Scantron> Spencer shrugs and decides to head into the Ska Rabmush.
  56. [2011-12-27 20:50:33] <Scantron> He doesn't really rush getting there.
  57. [2011-12-27 20:51:01] <Salmander> ~I have been watching. Always watching.~
  58. [2011-12-27 20:51:18] <Tara_Unknown> "History of the various bird peoples, and possibly pre-history as well. Legends and myths would also be nice, but I just want synopses"
  59. [2011-12-27 20:51:34] <Mr_Wilt> "And what have you seen, friend?"
  60. [2011-12-27 20:53:30] <Salmander> ~Nothing out of teh ordinary.~
  61. [2011-12-27 20:53:57] <Scantron> Spencer reaches the door into the control room and knocks. "Mind if I come in?"
  62. [2011-12-27 20:54:28] <Tara_Unknown> "If you need something more specific, any histories, legends, or myths dealing with a golden bird which shone like a second sun"
  63. [2011-12-27 20:54:31] <Salmander> ~Approximate length of dissertation: 40,000 words. Suggesting specification.~
  64. [2011-12-27 20:54:41] <Mr_Wilt> "I see. Not a thing of note?"
  65. [2011-12-27 20:54:48] <Salmander> ~Nope.~
  66. [2011-12-27 20:54:48] <Tara_Unknown> She turns to Spencer, "I don't mind"
  67. [2011-12-27 20:55:05] <Mr_Wilt> "Alright, fair enough then."
  68. [2011-12-27 20:55:18] <Scantron> Spencer enters then.
  69. [2011-12-27 20:55:37] <Wombat> "Ahem."
  70. [2011-12-27 20:55:38] <Scantron> He takes in the view of the night desert stretched out in front of him.

  74. [2011-12-27 20:56:52] <Salmander> ~From Encyclopedia Birdannica: The Eagle of the Sun, or Second Sun, is the patron god of the Eagle peoples. Well known for its continuous and slow flight across the sky, causing it to appear to be a secondary sun. The Eagle of the Sun roosts on a large plateau located in the Eastern desert.~
  75. [2011-12-27 20:57:43] <Tara_Unknown> "Tell me more about the Eagle of the Sun. How close are we to the Eastern Desert?"
  76. [2011-12-27 20:57:47] <Salmander> White Face turns to look at the doorway. ~I have noticed, however, that you have brought back an ancient machine of the Peacocks.~
  77. [2011-12-27 20:58:09] <Mr_Wilt> "Yeah, I heard about that. I don't know much about it, though."

  79. [2011-12-27 20:59:20] <Scantron> "I think it would be worth a trip. I may have been there before, so I could tell if it's the same place."
  80. [2011-12-27 20:59:33] <Salmander> ~It is strange to see again. Such curious machines they made. The wrath of the gods was drawn to their pursuit of technology.~
  81. [2011-12-27 20:59:38] <Tara_Unknown> "What myths and legends exist about the Eagle of the Sun?"
  82. [2011-12-27 21:00:14] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind looks at Spencer. "I think I may have been there too. That's why I'm so curious"
  83. [2011-12-27 21:00:37] <Scantron> "Right... do you think we should gather the team and take a look?"
  84. [2011-12-27 21:00:51] <Salmander> ~Encyclopedia Birdannica: the best known legend concerning the Eagle of the Sun concerns it carrying the injured sun upon its back after the vicious moon had hurt it. Currently there has been no evidence to back up this claim.~
  85. [2011-12-27 21:01:27] <Mr_Wilt> "What are the Peacocks like, White Face?"
  86. [2011-12-27 21:01:31] <Tara_Unknown> "I just want to see what information the scarab has first. We don't even know why we're here this time. I don't want to derail a mission just to sate my curiosity"
  87. [2011-12-27 21:02:01] <Salmander> ~Flamboyant creatures. Bob their head incessantly as they strut around. Rather arrogant if I do say so, myself.~

  102. [2011-12-27 21:05:47] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind sits up. "Yes, tell us more about that one"
  103. [2011-12-27 21:05:56] <Mr_Wilt> "I'll be sure to. Speaking of which, White Face, were they ever more than one Sun Bird.. God... thing?"

He moved too far away, even after repeated warnings from his elders. He met several strangers, and they seemed nice and played many games. Then they snatched him away and not even the Second Sun could save him.~
  105. [2011-12-27 21:08:48] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind squirms. "I wouldn't say it went quite like that..."

  109. [2011-12-27 21:09:44] <Mr_Wilt> "I see. Did any of these Second Suns ever just, uh... disappear?"

  116. [2011-12-27 21:12:35] <Scantron> "Hm... oh well. It'll be something for research to look through."
  117. [2011-12-27 21:12:43] <Scantron> He sets it aside.
  118. [2011-12-27 21:12:46] <Pryor> "I'll take it,"

  121. [2011-12-27 21:13:30] <Scantron> Spencer does not prevent Joseph from taking it. He walks over to be next to Rosalind, but still out of uncomfortableness.
  122. [2011-12-27 21:13:32] <Mr_Wilt> "Before we met the Second Sun, when the worms killed him, we had a different incident back at our home."
  123. [2011-12-27 21:13:36] <Salmander> ~What is it?~
  124. [2011-12-27 21:13:37] <Scantron> *the range of uncomfortableness.
  125. [2011-12-27 21:13:53] <Mr_Wilt> "I guess some other people found a Second Sun and engaged in a fight with it, and somehow brought it back with them?"
  126. [2011-12-27 21:14:02] <Mr_Wilt> "Now we have a duck waddling around that used to be a God."
  127. [2011-12-27 21:14:20] <Pryor> Joseph stands near the book, It'll be a bitch to take with him, but he'll deal with that later
  128. [2011-12-27 21:14:24] <Salmander> ~Hmm... interesting... but an egg or young god has never been stolen... only smashed.~
  129. [2011-12-27 21:15:04] <Mr_Wilt> "Well, I wasn't exactly /there/ for it, but as far as I'm aware, it was a whole, full grown god. I'd, uh, have to ask somebody who was there."
  130. [2011-12-27 21:15:18] <Salmander> ~I see.~
  131. [2011-12-27 21:15:58] <Mr_Wilt> "I could see about bringing the duck here, but I'd have to ask its owner."
  132. [2011-12-27 21:18:03] <Scantron> Spencer enjoys the good company and good view from the control room.
  133. [2011-12-27 21:19:07] <Tara_Unknown> "Scarab, what would the implications of the story of the strangers stealing the Eagle child being somewhat true be?"
  134. [2011-12-27 21:19:45] <Salmander> ~65% probability.~
  135. [2011-12-27 21:20:12] <Scantron> "What?"

  139. [2011-12-27 21:22:35] <Scantron> "Maybe I should rephrase the question..." Spencer pauses. "What would the consequences be if an eagle child were, in fact, kidnapped and taken out of the protection of the Second Sun?"
  140. [2011-12-27 21:22:37] <Mr_Wilt> "Fair enough. Have a good night, then."

  163. [2011-12-27 21:30:53] <Mr_Wilt> "[Oh, sure. This is a dimension we've visited a few times in the pool, then something happened, and now we can visit it whenever we want. We set up camp here, and we've been trying to, you know, investigate it. Lots of mysteries out and about here.]"
  164. [2011-12-27 21:31:16] <Mr_Wilt> "Oh!" Nolan's eyes widen. "Oh, Rosalind! I was just asking White Face about that!"
  165. [2011-12-27 21:31:45] <Mr_Wilt> "Can you, uh, tell me a bit more about what happened when you guys were gone? I was under the impression you took a whole bird with you."

  167. [2011-12-27 21:31:56] <Mr_Wilt> "And I mean, they're pretty big, so I was a bit surprised."
  168. [2011-12-27 21:34:31] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind looks guilty. "Well, all these birds started showing up in the cafeteria, and when we tried to leave, there was this huge desert and two suns. Damian saw an oasis a ways away and decided to look at it. I grabbed a bottle of water and went with him"
  169. [2011-12-27 21:35:21] <Scantron> Spencer tilts his head a little as Rosalind looks guilty. He seems concerned.

Damian took quite a liking to it, but I could only think of the scientific implications of it. I really wanted to get a good look at its anatomy. It continued to follow us, and I ended up making a grab for it"

  174. [2011-12-27 21:37:57] <Tara_Unknown> "That's when the second sun unfolded into this giant bird. We ran back to the cafeteria as quickly as we could and got in just in time"

  177. [2011-12-27 21:39:48] <Tara_Unknown> "I was able to carry it while running without too much trouble. Well, when the cafeteria returned to the site, the golden bird ended up being just an ordinary duck with red pool stuff on it. Damian cleaned it up and kept it as a pet"
  178. [2011-12-27 21:40:05] <Mr_Wilt> "..well, the Second Sun we met didn't say anything, and I'm fairly sure I asked.." Nolan rubs his chin. "I have to assume that's some sort of ancestor, then.

  339. [2011-12-27 22:20:39] <Salmander> A hypersonic screech peels over the desert. Everyone feels their minds ring.
  340. [2011-12-27 22:21:10] <Salmander> the black beast beats its wings and swoops in closer to the Ska Rabmush
  341. [2011-12-27 22:21:16] <Scantron> Spencer clenches his teeth.
  342. [2011-12-27 22:21:18] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind sits down
  343. [2011-12-27 22:21:24] <Salmander> "WHAT IN TARNATION IS GOING ON HERE?"
  344. [2011-12-27 22:21:44] <Mr_Wilt> "Uh, hi. Are you the Void's Roc?"
  345. [2011-12-27 22:21:46] <Salmander> It flaps its wings hurriedly
  346. [2011-12-27 22:22:15] <Scantron> "Let's get back in the ska rabmush." Spencer pulls Rosalind up and brings her inside.
  347. [2011-12-27 22:22:25] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan, however, does not go back inside.
  348. [2011-12-27 22:22:27] <Tara_Unknown> "Hi...ah, we just wanted to update the database in this machine, and there's this void..." Rosalind is practically babbling
  349. [2011-12-27 22:22:28] <Salmander> "WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU. SOME NO GOOD RIFF RAFF JUST BUSTED MY FREAKIN' EARS OUT WITH THEIR DAMN LOUD NOISE MACHINES."
  350. [2011-12-27 22:22:50] <Scantron> "Ska Rabmush, open that loudspeaker thing you used to talk to the crane pirates."
  351. [2011-12-27 22:22:52] <Pryor> "we're sorry about that, We just had a few questions!"
  352. [2011-12-27 22:22:57] <Salmander> Roll pdef Nolan
  353. [2011-12-27 22:22:58] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan heads back into the Ska Rabmush, as he now requires its assistance.
  354. [2011-12-27 22:23:03] <Mr_Wilt> Or not.

  358. [2011-12-27 22:23:28] <Salmander> Nolan is scooped up by the thing's feet. "I OUGHTA SHAKE YOU LIKE A RAT."
  359. [2011-12-27 22:24:00] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan flails about. "OH GOD NO I'M SORRY I JUST REALLY NEEDED TO TALK TO YOU AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOUR ATTENTION I'M SORRY OH GOD"
  360. [2011-12-27 22:24:22] <Pryor> "Oi! SET THE LAD DOWN"
  361. [2011-12-27 22:24:42] <Salmander> "GIMMEh ONE GOOD REASON WHY AH OUGHTA LET YOU LOOSE." Dat accent.
  362. [2011-12-27 22:25:23] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan thinks hard on this.
  363. [2011-12-27 22:25:32] <Mr_Wilt> "I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND WHO I LOVE WAITING BACK AT HOME FOR ME?"
  364. [2011-12-27 22:25:44] <Salmander> "HMMPH."
  365. [2011-12-27 22:25:51] <Salmander> "Well..."
  366. [2011-12-27 22:26:13] <Salmander> "I suppose a fella like me can't stand ta break up some good lovin' like that."
  367. [2011-12-27 22:26:22] <Feierzeit> Spencer could not have used the same reason. This makes him sad.
  368. [2011-12-27 22:26:31] <Mr_Wilt> "Thank you."
  369. [2011-12-27 22:27:03] <Salmander> The thing mutters. "Crazy kids." It lowers itself down then drops Nolan on teh ground.
  370. [2011-12-27 22:27:16] <Mr_Wilt> "So, uh, do you mind if I ask you some questions?" Nolan pushes himself up and dusts himself off.
  371. [2011-12-27 22:27:22] <Feierzeit> Spencer goes back outside after making sure that Rosalind is safely inside.
  372. [2011-12-27 22:27:57] <Salmander> It flaps itself over to the plateau and then hangs itself from an overhang
  373. [2011-12-27 22:28:02] <Pryor> Joseph's just standing there..Menacinglyyy!
  374. [2011-12-27 22:28:24] <Feierzeit> "What happened to the peacocks?"
  375. [2011-12-27 22:28:30] <Salmander> "Make it quick son, I've got somma them void mosquiters ta catch."
  376. [2011-12-27 22:29:02] <Mr_Wilt> "Are you the Void's Roc?"
  377. [2011-12-27 22:29:15] <Salmander> "Peacocks? Well I only see 'em every ten years or so. They're so shiny."
  378. [2011-12-27 22:29:34] <Salmander> "I ain't no rock son. I'm a goddamn livin' creature."
  379. [2011-12-27 22:29:48] <Mr_Wilt> "It's uh.. nevermind. Fair enough. Do you have a name?"
  380. [2011-12-27 22:29:52] <Salmander> Indeed, in the moonlight you can see he's a giant bat of some kind
  381. [2011-12-27 22:30:10] <Feierzeit> "Oh, and are there more like you?"
  382. [2011-12-27 22:30:13] <Salmander> "Name's Cleet."
  383. [2011-12-27 22:30:23] <Mr_Wilt> "Nice to meet you, Cleet. I'm Nolan."
  384. [2011-12-27 22:30:31] <Salmander> "Morea me? hell, I can barely stand just onea me."
  385. [2011-12-27 22:30:36] <Salmander> "Well howdy do."
  386. [2011-12-27 22:30:37] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind wants to look at it
  387. [2011-12-27 22:30:43] <Pryor> "nolan, I'll head back in the bug now"
  388. [2011-12-27 22:30:50] <Feierzeit> Spencer grins.
  389. [2011-12-27 22:30:58] <Mr_Wilt> "Alright, Joseph." Nolan waves at him, then gets back to questioning.
  390. [2011-12-27 22:31:13] <Mr_Wilt> "What's the void like?"
  391. [2011-12-27 22:31:16] <Salmander> He reaches the claws at the end of one wing down and begins picking his teeth
  392. [2011-12-27 22:31:24] <Feierzeit> "Sorry to disturb you, Cleet. We were just looking for the peacocks. What happened to them, exactly?"
  393. [2011-12-27 22:31:31] <Salmander> "It's big n' dark."
  394. [2011-12-27 22:31:43] <Pryor> Joseph walks slowly back to the scarab, wide eyed and pretty fuckin' overwhelmed, it seems
  395. [2011-12-27 22:31:45] <Salmander> "Whadya mean what happened to 'em?"
  396. [2011-12-27 22:31:51] <Salmander> "Somethin' happen to 'em?"
  397. [2011-12-27 22:32:04] <Mr_Wilt> "We wouldn't know."
  398. [2011-12-27 22:32:07] <Mr_Wilt> "That's kind of why we're asking."
  399. [2011-12-27 22:32:17] <Feierzeit> "There used to be a lot more of them, we think. You don't know anything about that?"
  400. [2011-12-27 22:32:29] <Pryor> Joseph sits in a corner
  401. [2011-12-27 22:32:46] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind heads back out and just stares at Cleet
  402. [2011-12-27 22:32:48] <Salmander> "Well it has been gettin' a bit hotter n' dryer in the past couple hundred of years, 'sfar as I can tell."
  403. [2011-12-27 22:33:17] <Salmander> "There wasn't some kinda metee-ore or somethin' was there?"
  404. [2011-12-27 22:33:34] <Feierzeit> "Maybe... we don't know."
  405. [2011-12-27 22:33:39] <Mr_Wilt> "Uh, not that we know of."
  406. [2011-12-27 22:33:54] <Salmander> "Oh, you had me all in a stew there."
  407. [2011-12-27 22:34:16] <Mr_Wilt> "..say, Cleet, can you do us a favour?"
  408. [2011-12-27 22:34:26] <Salmander> "No, can't think of any great cataclysms lately. Last one I know was this here plateau just a-risin' from the ground."
  409. [2011-12-27 22:34:36] <Feierzeit> "How did that happen?"
  410. [2011-12-27 22:34:36] <Salmander> "Whuzzat?"
  411. [2011-12-27 22:34:51] <Salmander> "I dunno. Scared the ba-jeebers outta me."
  412. [2011-12-27 22:35:15] <Mr_Wilt> "We were actually heading toward something when we got to the edge of the plateau here. Do you mind bringing us and our big machine here down?"
  413. [2011-12-27 22:35:48] <Salmander> "Down's a long way son. Many bad things down there. Don't think ya'd like it."
  414. [2011-12-27 22:36:10] <Mr_Wilt> "Well then can you fly us over to where we were headed? It's kind of important."
  415. [2011-12-27 22:36:18] <Mr_Wilt> "Maybe just hover us right over it?"
  416. [2011-12-27 22:37:01] <Salmander> "I dunno son. That thing looks mighty hefty."
  417. [2011-12-27 22:37:23] <Mr_Wilt> "Is there something we can do for you in return, perhaps?"
  418. [2011-12-27 22:37:51] <Feierzeit> "For that matter... is there any sort of artificial structure in the void?"
  419. [2011-12-27 22:38:24] <Salmander> "Well, I suppose there's that cathedral, but that ain't the place fer nice livin' folks like yerself."
  420. [2011-12-27 22:38:40] <Feierzeit> "Why?"
  421. [2011-12-27 22:39:27] <Mr_Wilt> "..livin' folk?"
  422. [2011-12-27 22:39:32] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan takes a while to consider this choice of words.
  423. [2011-12-27 22:40:06] <Salmander> "Well surely you know about what's in the void."
  424. [2011-12-27 22:40:25] <Feierzeit> "Nope."
  425. [2011-12-27 22:40:49] <Mr_Wilt> "Not a clue."
  426. [2011-12-27 22:40:59] <Mr_Wilt> "We're kind of new 'round these parts."
  427. [2011-12-27 22:41:11] <Salmander> "It's where all-a them naughty spirits go when they kick the bucket."
  428. [2011-12-27 22:41:29] <Mr_Wilt> "..oh. I see."
  429. [2011-12-27 22:41:35] <Feierzeit> "Wow."
  430. [2011-12-27 22:41:51] <Salmander> "I don't fly down there very often."
  431. [2011-12-27 22:42:41] <Mr_Wilt> "Shit. /Shit/. Give me a moment, Cleet."
  432. [2011-12-27 22:42:56] <Salmander> Cleet scratches his chin
  433. [2011-12-27 22:43:00] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan climbs back into the Ska Rabmush. "Ska Rabmush, can you acquire a signal from the updating station?"
  434. [2011-12-27 22:43:16] <Salmander> ~Signal not detected.~
  435. [2011-12-27 22:43:50] <Feierzeit> Spencer goes in after him. "I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we should /not/ go into what appears to be this universe's analogue of hell."
  436. [2011-12-27 22:43:54] <Mr_Wilt> He climbs back out with a huff. "I think this might be our only choice."
  437. [2011-12-27 22:44:15] <Feierzeit> "I'm going to have to disagree. We could just go back."

  439. [2011-12-27 22:44:58] <Mr_Wilt> "Updating the Ska Rabmush seems kind of, you know, important?"
  440. [2011-12-27 22:45:42] <Feierzeit> "The updating station is /gone/, I think." Spencer pauses. "Ska Rabmush, is there any way to go around the void to get to the updating station?"
  441. [2011-12-27 22:45:53] <Salmander> ~UNknown.~

  446. [2011-12-27 22:47:43] <Mr_Wilt> "Shit, I'm willing to go into Hell to do my job. You don't have to join me if you're not willing."
  447. [2011-12-27 22:47:50] <Tara_Unknown> "Why do we need to update it? What if there is no recent enough update? I'd almost rather update it manually"
  448. [2011-12-27 22:47:53] <Salmander> ~Unable to calculate route around current obstacle.~
  449. [2011-12-27 22:48:23] <Feierzeit> "My thoughts exactly, Rosalind. This is a rather large risk for a reward that may not be there and could be obtained by other means."
  450. [2011-12-27 22:48:53] <Mr_Wilt> "But there's the chance that it /is/!"
  451. [2011-12-27 22:49:12] <Tara_Unknown> "What are you willing to do for that chance?"
  452. [2011-12-27 22:50:05] <Mr_Wilt> "Go out into Hell." Nolan motions toward the Void.
  453. [2011-12-27 22:50:31] <Feierzeit> Spencer looks around and spots Joseph. "Mr. O'Donnell, your thoughts?"
  454. [2011-12-27 22:51:19] <Tara_Unknown> "We don't even know how big of a chance it is. We don't know how many Peacocks are left, or if they even are still able to gather information about this area"
  455. [2011-12-27 22:51:20] <Pryor> "Let's not go to hell today, not with the bat"
  456. [2011-12-27 22:51:32] <Mr_Wilt> "Pretty sure we /need/ the bat to go."

  458. [2011-12-27 22:51:57] <Pryor> "are we sure? are we sure that I need to associate myself with a giant bat?"
  459. [2011-12-27 22:52:20] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan sighs. "Ska Rabmush, can you project the map outside, with the position of the updating station?"
  460. [2011-12-27 22:52:39] <Salmander> ~Projecting...~
  461. [2011-12-27 22:52:49] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan steps outside.
  462. [2011-12-27 22:53:02] <Salmander> A giant image of the map appears outside, complete with the small blinking light in the far south
  463. [2011-12-27 22:53:08] <Salmander> "Well I'll be damned."
  464. [2011-12-27 22:53:30] <Salmander> "If it ain't one-a them old peacock maps."
  465. [2011-12-27 22:53:37] <Feierzeit> Spencer also steps outside. Is the light in the void?
  466. [2011-12-27 22:53:54] <Mr_Wilt> "Cleet, do you know if anything is there?" He motions toward the blinking light.
  467. [2011-12-27 22:53:55] <Feierzeit> Redact the question.
  468. [2011-12-27 22:54:13] <Tara_Unknown> "How long has it been since you saw one of these?" she asks Cleet
  469. [2011-12-27 22:54:14] <Salmander> "I don't go far from my void."
  470. [2011-12-27 22:54:33] <Salmander> "'Bout... 600 years I reckon."
  471. [2011-12-27 22:54:51] <Feierzeit> "That cathedral you mentioned... where is it on this map?"
  472. [2011-12-27 22:55:16] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind folds her arms and looks at Nolan, a slightly smug expression on her face
  473. [2011-12-27 22:56:04] <Mr_Wilt> "Which is exactly /why/ we should try heading for the updating station."
  474. [2011-12-27 22:56:11] <Salmander> It extends a wing forward then points to the edge of the black part of the map, which is presumably the void
  475. [2011-12-27 22:56:12] <Pryor> "I'm slightly relieved"
  476. [2011-12-27 22:56:34] <Mr_Wilt> Is the updating beacon anywhere in the black part?
  477. [2011-12-27 22:56:40] <Mr_Wilt> Beacon/station
  478. [2011-12-27 22:56:46] <Salmander> Nope
  479. [2011-12-27 22:57:22] <Salmander> The void seems to radiate from a triangle shape, the point of which is where you are, until it goes off the map
  480. [2011-12-27 22:57:36] <Tara_Unknown> "And if the updating station hasn't been updated in 600 years?"
  481. [2011-12-27 22:57:50] <Mr_Wilt> "Then it was worth a shot."
  482. [2011-12-27 22:57:57] <Mr_Wilt> Is the updating station on the triangle shape?
  483. [2011-12-27 22:58:01] <Feierzeit> "No, it's /not/ worth a shot."
  484. [2011-12-27 22:58:15] <Mr_Wilt> "Fine. You don't want to go? You can all head back and I'll go alone."
  485. [2011-12-27 22:58:32] <Feierzeit> "I'm not letting you go either."
  486. [2011-12-27 22:58:52] <Tara_Unknown> "I think Eva would kill me if I didn't at least try to stop you"
  487. [2011-12-27 22:59:08] <Mr_Wilt> "Look, /somebody/ has to go."
  488. [2011-12-27 22:59:22] <Feierzeit> "She may kill me regardless, but the point still stands. And no, not really. We can gather the information manually."
  489. [2011-12-27 22:59:56] <Mr_Wilt> "We don't even know where half of anything is! New settlements could have popped up by now! The /landscape/ could have changed!"
  490. [2011-12-27 23:00:42] <Feierzeit> "Which means that if by some miracle the updating station is still /standing/ and /present/, it's even more likely to be useless!"
  491. [2011-12-27 23:01:06] <Tara_Unknown> "Exactly! And if they haven't updated the station, we went through hell for, what, information we'll /still/ have to update manually?"
  492. [2011-12-27 23:01:11] <Pryor> "Damn it nolan" joseph says, standing "this is not the time for frontier forging, we're hideously underprepared"

  494. [2011-12-27 23:01:53] <Feierzeit> "There is also that to take into consideration. We are four people with a machine we barely understand and a massive bat we barely know." He turns to Cleet. "No offense."
  495. [2011-12-27 23:02:18] <Mr_Wilt> "But there's still the chance that it /is/ updated!" Nolan rubs his face. "Look, we can head back, I can get prepared, and then head off on my own."
  496. [2011-12-27 23:02:29] <Salmander> "I'll have you know I'm not massive. I'm just big boned."
  497. [2011-12-27 23:03:10] <Feierzeit> "My mistake." He turns back to Nolan. "Again, I'm not letting you go on your own. I wouldn't let /anyone/ go on their own."
  498. [2011-12-27 23:03:19] <Feierzeit> "*Especially* you."
  499. [2011-12-27 23:03:23] <Pryor> [Nolan, I'm not going to let your thirst for adventure get me or Rosalind killed, There's a little girl back at the site that I'd like to see get better!] Joseph's getting quite confrontational
  500. [2011-12-27 23:05:16] <Mr_Wilt> "Spencer, you're not in the position to let me or not let me do *shit*. We'll go back to the outpost, you can depart, and then I'll head off."
  501. [2011-12-27 23:06:12] <Feierzeit> "No. We need you, Nolan. I'm not going to let you go off and get yourself killed on the off chance that it might save us some time."
  502. [2011-12-27 23:07:06] <Mr_Wilt> "Too bad nobody's willing to come with me so I /don't/ get myself killed, /huh/?"
  503. [2011-12-27 23:07:28] <Salmander> "Y'know, I don't mean ta butt in, but I really don't think I can carry that thing."
  504. [2011-12-27 23:07:39] <Salmander> "Hell, it's almost as big as me, an' it's made of metal."
  505. [2011-12-27 23:07:46] <Feierzeit> "I sincerely doubt that having a few more bodies will help in any way."
  506. [2011-12-27 23:08:18] <Pryor> "nolan, It won't work, I'm sorry"
  507. [2011-12-27 23:08:27] <Feierzeit> "And I'm not risking anyone's life to find out if it will."
  508. [2011-12-27 23:08:41] <Pryor> "you'll get us all killed, for what, to find out that there are peacocks in hell?"
  509. [2011-12-27 23:09:47] <Salmander> "I suppose you could always go around the... other way."
  510. [2011-12-27 23:10:03] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan perks up.
  511. [2011-12-27 23:10:05] <Feierzeit> "What other way?"
  512. [2011-12-27 23:10:05] <Mr_Wilt> "Other way?"
  513. [2011-12-27 23:10:14] <Salmander> "Well the plateau has another side don't it?"
  514. [2011-12-27 23:10:29] <Mr_Wilt> "I.. suppose?"
  515. [2011-12-27 23:10:34] <Salmander> "Although as I hear it goes right onto the other side of the world."
  516. [2011-12-27 23:10:41] <Salmander> "And not even the dead go there."
  517. [2011-12-27 23:10:42] <Pryor> [another reason to dislike bats]
  518. [2011-12-27 23:11:01] <Feierzeit> "Care to elaborate?"
  519. [2011-12-27 23:11:34] <Salmander> "No fowl or worm's ever cared to go to the other side of the world. Everythin's... different as I hear."
  520. [2011-12-27 23:13:05] <Feierzeit> "Hm..." Spencer pauses, and thinks.
  521. [2011-12-27 23:13:15] <Tara_Unknown> "Different in what way?"
  522. [2011-12-27 23:13:39] <Salmander> "Well, y'know when ya look off into the desert on a hot day and ya think ya see water?"
  523. [2011-12-27 23:13:50] <Tara_Unknown> "Yeah"
  524. [2011-12-27 23:14:07] <Salmander> "They say that's what yer lookin at. The other side of the world."
  525. [2011-12-27 23:14:56] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind bites her tongue; there's no reason to discuss visual phenomena
  526. [2011-12-27 23:15:17] <Feierzeit> "So... there's lots of water on the other side of the world?"
  527. [2011-12-27 23:15:34] <Mr_Wilt> "Guess I'll have to try that, then. You guys want me to drop you off at camp?"
  528. [2011-12-27 23:16:35] <Feierzeit> "We could go over by the edge of the plateau, and maybe see what we'd be getting into..."
  529. [2011-12-27 23:17:02] <Mr_Wilt> "Oh, no! I don't want you getting killed, after all!" Nolan rolls his eyes.
  530. [2011-12-27 23:17:50] <Feierzeit> "We would be /looking/ at it, not going into it. You don't see me objecting to being /near/ the void."
  531. [2011-12-27 23:18:01] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind glares at Nolan
  532. [2011-12-27 23:18:02] <Pryor> "don't even joke about that, spencer,"
  533. [2011-12-27 23:18:32] <Pryor> "so nolan, what do we tell Eva? I mean, we won't even have a corpse to bring back."
  534. [2011-12-27 23:18:41] <Mr_Wilt> "But what if /looking/ at it can kill you?"
  535. [2011-12-27 23:18:48] <Mr_Wilt> And then he shoots the biggest glare at Joseph.
  536. [2011-12-27 23:18:49] <Mr_Wilt> The biggest.
  537. [2011-12-27 23:19:08] <Pryor> Joseph holds the glare, and repeats himself
  538. [2011-12-27 23:19:15] <Mr_Wilt> "You tell her I'll be home by dinner tomorrow night. There's no way some mirage is going to kill me."
  539. [2011-12-27 23:19:28] <Pryor> "you think this is a fucking game, don't you?"
  540. [2011-12-27 23:19:52] <Mr_Wilt> "I think this is my fucking /job/."
  541. [2011-12-27 23:20:16] <Feierzeit> "Your job is to stay alive and help us keep everyone alive. This is not your job."
  542. [2011-12-27 23:20:17] <Pryor> "Well, It's my job too, and you know what I've found out about my job?"
  543. [2011-12-27 23:20:41] <Pryor> "and jobs I've had before I joined the foundation, nolan,"
  544. [2011-12-27 23:20:58] <Pryor> "headstrong bullshittery get's you killed,"
  545. [2011-12-27 23:21:40] <Pryor> "stay the fuck out of this, spencer,"
  546. [2011-12-27 23:21:59] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan waves them off. He looks up at the giant bat. "Thank you for your time, Cleet. Sorry about the racket."
  547. [2011-12-27 23:22:38] <Feierzeit> Spencer blinks, then steps out of the line of sight between Nolan and Joseph.
  548. [2011-12-27 23:22:52] <Salmander> "I'm gonna go huntin' fer skeeters."
  549. [2011-12-27 23:23:02] <Salmander> And with that Cleet takes off and flaps off into the night
  550. [2011-12-27 23:23:04] <Pryor> "take care,"
  551. [2011-12-27 23:23:28] <Tara_Unknown> "Good luck catching your mosquitoes"
  552. [2011-12-27 23:23:34] <Feierzeit> Spencer waves goodbye to Cleet.
  553. [2011-12-27 23:24:13] <Mr_Wilt> He then boards the giant scarab once more. "This doesn't change my mind. I'm still going."
  554. [2011-12-27 23:24:43] <Feierzeit> "And I'm still going to do my best to stop you."
  555. [2011-12-27 23:24:58] <Pryor> "you're a fucking headstrong fool, we've already had one operative kill himself for no fucking reason DAMN IT SPENCER, WHAT DID I SAY"
  556. [2011-12-27 23:25:13] <Pryor> "this week, none of us can handle another needless suicide"
  557. [2011-12-27 23:25:22] <Feierzeit> Spencer is a bit startled. "Fine, fine..." Spencer moves off.
  558. [2011-12-27 23:25:31] <Mr_Wilt> "Ska Rabmush, head back to the village."
  559. [2011-12-27 00:26:16] <Pryor> [There is nothing noble about abandoning your friends, I hope this is worth it, you fuck]
  560. [2011-12-27 00:26:43] <Salmander> ~Departing...~
  561. [2011-12-27 00:26:44] <Mr_Wilt> "[You're the ones abandoning me, here. You're the ones deciding you're not going to go.]"
  562. [2011-12-27 00:26:58] <Mr_Wilt> And then remains silent for the rest of the trip home.
  563. [2011-12-27 00:27:02] <Salmander> The staircase retracts and the machine soon draws close to the village
  564. [2011-12-27 00:27:34] <Pryor> [no, I'm the one who's willing to admit that we're unprepared, if we had the supplies and the backup, I'd be jumping in with the same enthusiasm, I'm a goddamn scientist, not an idiot]
  565. [2011-12-27 00:30:22] <Pryor> [damn decent thing for you to do to yer lass,I'm sure you'll be looked upon as some sort of noble hero, a revolutionary]
  566. [2011-12-27 00:31:18] <Pryor> [ a goddamned man among men] Joseph is shouting this at nolan
  567. [2011-12-27 00:31:50] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan is ignoring all of it.
  568. [2011-12-27 00:31:59] <Tara_Unknown> All Rosalind hears is Joseph yelling a whole bunch of consonants at Nolan
  569. [2011-12-27 00:32:29] <Feierzeit> Same with Spencer. He whispers to Rosalind "Sorry about this..."
  570. [2011-12-27 00:32:52] <Pryor> [and who's going to stop Spencer? eh? we know what he's like, we know that Stoat's got all that booze hidden somewhere, he'll get ahold of it, and then what? Huh?]
  571. [2011-12-27 00:33:33] <Feierzeit> Spencer hears his name. "What about me?"
  572. [2011-12-27 00:34:25] <Tara_Unknown> "All I wanted was to confirm whether or not this was the same dimension I'd been to before. Fuck"
  573. [2011-12-27 00:35:19] <Salmander> The Ska Rabmush gets back to the village
  574. [2011-12-27 00:35:19] <Feierzeit> "Same here." Spencer puts his arm around her. He does his best not to make it seem comforting, not intimate.
  575. [2011-12-27 00:35:37] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan exits the Ska Rabmush and heads back for the sub.
  576. [2011-12-27 00:35:53] <Tara_Unknown> She winces slightly at the touch, but doesn't pull away
  577. [2011-12-27 00:36:04] <Pryor> [and don't think I'm keeping quiet, you unprofessional twat]
  578. [2011-12-27 00:36:28] <Feierzeit> Spencer notices the wince, pats her once, then walks out of the sub. He goes to Joseph. "Sorry for butting in..."
  579. [2011-12-27 00:37:02] <Pryor> Joseph completely ignores him, he's still trying to get anything out of nolan
  580. [2011-12-27 00:37:21] <Feierzeit> Spencer blinks and heads out of the sub.
  581. [2011-12-27 00:38:12] <Mr_Wilt> "[I'm going to go home, say hello to my girlfriend, get some shit ready, and head back out.]"
  582. [2011-12-27 00:38:16] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind goes over to Joseph. "Do you think I should tell Eva?"
  583. [2011-12-27 00:38:36] <Pryor> "of fucking course I do! maybe she'll talk some sense into him!"
  584. [2011-12-27 00:39:33] <Mr_Wilt> "No need. I'm already going to tell her."
  585. [2011-12-27 00:39:36] <Pryor> [Nolan, This isn't a fucking power trip, go home, do whatever, write up a report and send it to Corbette, he'll arrange for a team to head out with you, they'll have the equipment, the D-classes, Everything we need]
  586. [2011-12-27 00:39:47] <Tara_Unknown> "I didn't feel we were prepared to cross hell just to update a map. A map that might not even be updateable"
  587. [2011-12-27 00:40:14] <Pryor> [You'll lead the expedition, nolan! and you won't fucking die, and if you do, It won't be fucking needlessly]
  588. [2011-12-27 00:40:43] <Tara_Unknown> "There's just so much anger recently. Maybe Eva and I need to watch more campy movies together"
  589. [2011-12-27 00:40:44] <Feierzeit> Spencer remains at the Ska Rabmush, actually. "You all go ahead, I'll hang back for a bit."
  590. [2011-12-27 00:43:22] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind heads to the base, finds a quiet corner, sits down, and cries
  591. [2011-12-27 00:43:35] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan's eyebrow raises so high it goes into orbit.
  592. [2011-12-27 00:43:44] <Mr_Wilt> "What did you think I was doing, right now?"
  593. [2011-12-27 00:44:02] <Feierzeit> "I have some work to do here."
  594. [2011-12-27 00:44:19] <Mr_Wilt> "There's a reason I'm going back to the base, Joseph."
  595. [2011-12-27 00:44:58] <Pryor> [don't bullshit me nolan, we all can see what you were planning,] jJospeh's tone softens
  596. [2011-12-27 00:46:04] <Feierzeit> Once everyone's left the Ska Rabmush, Spencer turns to the screen. "Ska Rabmush, prepare to receive information."
  597. [2011-12-27 00:46:22] <Feierzeit> "Confirm that you are ready to receive data."
  598. [2011-12-27 00:46:26] <Salmander> ~Preparing~
  599. [2011-12-27 00:46:47] <Salmander> ~Ready.~
  600. [2011-12-27 00:47:08] <Mr_Wilt> "[Obviously not.]"
  601. [2011-12-27 00:47:11] <Salmander> A small slot protrudes from beside the keyboard
  602. [2011-12-27 00:47:36] <Feierzeit> "Prepare to receive /verbal/ information, I should say."
  603. [2011-12-27 00:48:08] <Salmander> ~Prepared to receive.~
  604. [2011-12-27 00:48:14] <Pryor> [and when were you going to say anything? you could've avoided that whole screaming escapade, and yet you chose not to because what? like i said, don't bullshit me, nolan, you're not a kid]
  605. [2011-12-27 00:48:44] <Mr_Wilt> "[I was just waiting for you to finish up.]"
  606. [2011-12-27 00:49:22] <Feierzeit> "An investigation has been conducted into the loss of the crew of this vessel. It has been determined that Nolan Patton, the man who originally ordered you to proceed to the updating station, performed a minor role in the introduction of the parasite or parasites responsible for the loss of the crew."
  607. [2011-12-27 00:49:56] <Pryor> Joseph gives Nolan an incredibly disappointed look [I misjudged you, Nolan, you really are a piece of shit.]
  608. [2011-12-27 00:50:10] <Feierzeit> "For the time being, his threat level has been deemed 'Monitor, do not engage.' It is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL that he is not allowed onto the Ska Rabmush alone. Further, orders by him to proceed to the Great Void are to be disregarded unless accepted by at least two others."
  609. [2011-12-27 00:50:16] <Pryor> Joseph then leaves nolan with that, to go chill with spencer
  610. [2011-12-27 00:50:23] <Feierzeit> "That is a standing order."
  611. [2011-12-27 00:51:06] <Feierzeit> "Do not make any hostile advances towards Mr. Patton, and do not inform him as to the reason should you deny any request of his."
  612. [2011-12-27 00:51:23] <Feierzeit> "Understood?"
  613. [2011-12-27 00:51:27] <Salmander> ~Clarification required: What is "Man."~
  614. [2011-12-27 00:51:40] <Feierzeit> "..."
  615. [2011-12-27 00:52:00] <Salmander> ~Clarification required: Visual of suspect required.`
  616. [2011-12-27 00:52:21] <Salmander> ~Validation Required: Please state rank and code.~
  617. [2011-12-27 00:52:31] <Feierzeit> "...damn."
  618. [2011-12-27 00:52:33] <Feierzeit> "Shit."
  619. [2011-12-27 00:52:58] <Feierzeit> "/Shit/. Is there any way that I can prevent persons from entering the Ska Rabmush unattended?"
  620. [2011-12-27 00:53:13] <Salmander> ~Recommendation: Lock.~
  621. [2011-12-27 00:54:17] <Feierzeit> "...right. You know what, never mind. Disregard all information given after the request to confirm readiness to receive information."
  622. [2011-12-27 00:54:54] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind is sitting in a quiet corner of the Desert Outpost crying. This has just been too much for her, and after the last few days she's emotionally exhausted
  623. [2011-12-27 00:55:08] <Feierzeit> Spencer leaves the Ska Rabmush and sees Joseph walking up to the beetle. "Oh, hello Joseph."
  624. [2011-12-27 00:55:23] <Pryor> "Hey spencer, a word?"
  625. [2011-12-27 00:55:40] <Feierzeit> "Yes." Spencer walks down the staircase to talk to Joseph.
  626. [2011-12-27 00:56:31] <Pryor> "in private?"
  627. [2011-12-27 00:56:48] <Pryor> joseph's tone is cool
  628. [2011-12-27 00:56:58] <Feierzeit> "...all right. I suppose we could use the Ska Rabmush." Spencer leads him back up the stairs and into the machine.
  629. [2011-12-27 00:57:33] <Pryor> joseph puts one hand on spencer's shoulder, then the other, then he breaks down
  630. [2011-12-27 00:58:08] <Feierzeit> "..." Spencer pulls Joseph into an awkward hug.
  631. [2011-12-27 00:58:12] <Mr_Wilt> The sub arrives at the outpost once more.
  632. [2011-12-27 00:58:15] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan steps on in.
  633. [2011-12-27 00:58:40] <Pryor> joseph collects himself without saying a word, then heads for the sub and boards it
  634. [2011-12-27 00:58:55] <Feierzeit> "...okay." Spencer does the same.
  635. [2011-12-27 00:59:55] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind heads to the sub, boards it, and sits quietly in a corner alone
  636. [2011-12-27 01:00:05] <Salmander> The sub departs back to #farrecon
  637. [2011-12-27 01:00:12] <Feierzeit> Spencer goes over to her. "...do you want to talk?"
  638. [2011-12-27 01:00:21] <--| Pryor has left #Desert_Outpost
  639. [2011-12-27 01:00:41] <Tara_Unknown> She shakes her head. It's obvious she's been crying
