  67. [05:07.41] Channel Created on: 10:46 PM 28/10/2014
  68. [05:07.44] <~Derisyan> Palas Consulting is an investment firm and they provide incubation for small/medium businesses, as well as insurance
  69. [05:07.49] <~Derisyan> Sorry abotu today btw toledo
  70. [05:07.53] <Toledo> huh
  71. [05:07.58] <blumenkranz> Hello Toledo.
  72. [05:08.04] <Battersea> Hi
  73. [05:08.09] <Toledo> Oh I just came to listen in, don't mind me, chombattas.
  74. [05:08.18] <~Derisyan> We are discussing PLOT now
  75. [05:08.19] <blumenkranz> They must be the best Consulting firm in the world.
  76. [05:08.21] <blumenkranz> PLOT
  77. [05:08.30] <blumenkranz> Not Natalya's boobs of course.
  78. [05:08.33] <blumenkranz> That's a small plot.
  79. [05:08.34] <~Derisyan> They certainly brag about it
  80. [05:08.43] <Toledo> What's there to be sorry about anyway
  81. [05:09.12] <~Derisyan> If you remember the whole obsession with greek naming
  82. [05:09.20] <~Derisyan> You would see why they picked the name "Palas"
  83. [05:10.14] <~Derisyan> It's spelled "Pallas" btw
  84. [05:10.31] <blumenkranz> God of Wisdom.
  85. [05:10.34] <blumenkranz> Huh.
  86. [05:10.38] <~Derisyan> for a consulting firm
  87. [05:11.02] <~Derisyan> They claim an outrageous 99.999999% succcess rate
  88. [05:11.28] <blumenkranz> >Voluptas is the goddess of pleasure
  89. [05:11.30] <blumenkranz> Huehuehuehue
  90. [05:11.37] <~Derisyan> Well, they make VR
  91. [05:11.48] <~Derisyan> Also: Look for the name of her mother
  92. [05:12.00] <blumenkranz> Psique.
  93. [05:12.03] <blumenkranz> FUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
  94. [05:12.23] <blumenkranz> We GitS nao?
  95. [05:12.35] <~Derisyan> It has only begun
  96. [05:13.04] <Toledo> <insert rabbit hole deepness here>
  97. [05:13.20] <blumenkranz> This is like several /pol/ rabbit holes deep.
  98. [05:13.22] <~Derisyan> also, who feels like giving a short summary to Toledo?
  99. [05:13.30] <~Derisyan> about recent happenings
  100. [05:13.38] <Toledo> Can if you want, I'm not gonna push
  101. [05:13.51] <blumenkranz> What do you know, Toledo?
  102. [05:13.54] <blumenkranz> WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
  103. [05:13.54] <~Derisyan> It's a good memory excercise
  104. [05:14.01] <~Derisyan> That's why I suggested it
  105. [05:14.06] <Toledo> Well
  106. [05:14.08] <~Derisyan> You tell tales and remember things
  107. [05:14.10] <Toledo> Aside from the cum dodge
  108. [05:14.15] <Toledo> And setting up characters
  109. [05:14.17] <~Derisyan> And plot got quite thick today
  110. [05:14.19] <Toledo> Nothin' .
  111. [05:14.24] <blumenkranz> Hmmm...
  112. [05:14.33] <blumenkranz> Let's start from the very beginning.
  113. [05:14.35] <Toledo> I read the greentexts but I can't remember
  114. [05:14.39] <Toledo> + board nook
  115. [05:15.05] <~Derisyan> just the important details
  116. [05:15.14] <blumenkranz> First session involved Natalya being tasked to plant a bomb in a police station near a building in construction.
  117. [05:15.18] <~Derisyan> and the big pile of happening you are sitting upon
  118. [05:15.33] <Toledo> So I guess that bomb opened the way for bl0w, Yokai and the crew?
  119. [05:15.42] <blumenkranz> tl;dr drokk didn't go as expected and we ended up getting chased by two police choppers
  120. [05:15.51] <~Derisyan> Alright, Ill tell you what happened
  121. [05:15.57] <Toledo> Damnit, that sounds like fun
  122. [05:15.59] <blumenkranz> Well, it was a very heavy bomb, so I asked them to carry it.
  123. [05:16.05] <blumenkranz> It was.
  124. [05:16.05] <Toledo> Screw timezones and my late arrivals.
  125. [05:16.06] <~Derisyan> y0k gave an armed bomb to a psycho squad expert
  126. [05:16.13] <~Derisyan> that defused it
  127. [05:16.22] <~Derisyan> And gave her an excuse to call for a pursuit
  128. [05:16.27] <~Derisyan> because, bomb
  129. [05:16.33] <blumenkranz> >an excuse
  130. [05:16.37] <blumenkranz> I don't like how you worded that.
  131. [05:16.45] <~Derisyan> I do like it tho :3
  132. [05:17.02] <~Derisyan> anyway, continue
  133. [05:17.56] <~Derisyan> also
  134. [05:18.02] <~Derisyan> google obayashi and space elevator :3
  135. [05:18.37] <blumenkranz> >2050
  136. [05:18.43] <Toledo> Yeah, knew about that
  137. [05:18.46] <Toledo> Neat.
  138. [05:18.52] <~Derisyan> they got a little nudge from me, I confes
  139. [05:18.55] <Battersea> btw, every novel I've read that prominently features a space elevator has it blown up at some point
  140. [05:19.07] <~Derisyan> yeah but this is one doesnt have it that prominent
  141. [05:19.08] <Battersea> Well, that's only about three books, but anyway
  142. [05:19.10] <~Derisyan> so it might be saved
  143. [05:19.19] <Toledo> When I recall space-elevators, I keep thinking of that one mission in Halo ODST.
  144. [05:19.25] <Toledo> The... collapse.
  145. [05:19.31] <~Derisyan> spoiler: The space elevator features in my Stallman run I'm writing atm
  146. [05:19.37] <blumenkranz> YES.
  147. [05:19.48] <~Derisyan> Once it's ready I'll Gm it, but I'm still doing research
  148. [05:20.18] <Toledo> So is the party full up still or am I just forgetful
  149. [05:20.25] <blumenkranz> Richardo Stallmanu, the first truly free cyborg of earth and the only one who managed to get a full body conversion.
  150. [05:20.32] <blumenkranz> Because FREEDOM counters humanity loss.
  151. [05:20.43] <~Derisyan> The party is a little lacking
  152. [05:20.54] <~Derisyan> We got a fixer, who handles contacts and info
  153. [05:21.00] <~Derisyan> We got a doctor who patches people
  154. [05:21.07] <~Derisyan> We got a solo, who fucks shit up
  155. [05:21.22] <~Derisyan> If you ask me, having a social guy would help
  156. [05:21.25] <Toledo> I have some investigative skills and a bitchin level in Handguns.
  157. [05:21.33] <Toledo> You know that though
  158. [05:21.35] <~Derisyan> investigative is good
  159. [05:21.42] <Toledo> Plus level 7 Authority
  160. [05:21.45] <Toledo> I think
  161. [05:21.45] <~Derisyan> There is som drokk I hid real deep
  162. [05:21.49] <~Derisyan> Oh boy
  163. [05:21.59] <~Derisyan> >Authority 7 on a city under martial law
  164. [05:22.03] <~Derisyan> we judge dredd now
  165. [05:22.14] <Toledo> But you remember him right
  166. [05:22.23] <blumenkranz> A Judge Dredd campaign would be fucking awesome.
  167. [05:22.38] <Toledo> He's ex-cop for some cloak and dagger shit he tried to uncover
  168. [05:22.38] <~Derisyan> It needs to be further down the timeline
  169. [05:22.42] <~Derisyan> 2080s I think
  170. [05:22.57] <~Derisyan> maybe even 22nd century
  171. [05:23.03] <blumenkranz> Oh damn. D:
  172. [05:23.16] <~Derisyan> I need mutants to run a Dredd game, mang
  173. [05:23.31] <blumenkranz> We Fallout now, too?
  174. [05:24.23] <Battersea> To continue the recap, the chopper chase ended with us between a police chopper and an Ares chopper, the Ares security troops arresting us
  175. [05:24.25] <~Derisyan> If World War IV, maybe
  176. [05:24.34] <Toledo> Ok, got interrogation 5
  177. [05:24.42] <Toledo> Interview at the same
  178. [05:24.51] <Battersea> Later we woke up shackled in a room listening to Nujabes
  179. [05:28.38] <blumenkranz> Then Mr. Jovi, the CEO of Palas, came in.
  180. [05:28.40] <blumenkranz> Wait.
  181. [05:28.51] <blumenkranz> What the fuck was the CEO of Palas doing inside the Spartan Tech building?
  182. [05:30.04] <~Derisyan> It only took you 3 weeks to notice that :3
  183. [05:30.34] <blumenkranz> :DDDDDDDDD
  184. [05:30.43] <blumenkranz> I mean, they are buddy-buddy, but...
  185. [05:31.33] <blumenkranz> Dr. Jovi was working there.
  186. [05:31.40] <blumenkranz> What the fuck does this mean.
  187. [05:32.02] <~Derisyan> also
  188. [05:32.19] <~Derisyan> >all the terminals are from HM networks
  189. [05:32.44] <blumenkranz> Is it _confirmed_ we were in Spartan Tech?
  190. [05:33.21] <~Derisyan> You were on a office floor at the very top of the Olympus complex
  191. [05:33.25] <~Derisyan> that's the only certain thing
  192. [05:33.51] <blumenkranz> Hmm, so we were in Olympus...
  193. [05:34.28] <Battersea> ...which houses all of those greek bastards
  194. [05:34.39] <~Derisyan> exactly
  195. [05:34.42] <blumenkranz> Which houses...
  196. [05:34.44] <blumenkranz> Delphineas.
  197. [05:35.51] <blumenkranz> The building is inaccessible, though.
  198. [05:35.54] <~Derisyan> Delphi Oracle, a trip to wikipedia will net you some clues
  199. [05:37.26] <blumenkranz> It was an inside job.
  200. [05:37.43] <~Derisyan> :3
  201. [05:38.41] <~Derisyan> also, look from who the Oracle got the powers
  202. [05:38.43] <blumenkranz> Only someone who already had access to the penthouse could have been able to access the building.
  203. [05:39.21] <Battersea> >inb4 it's mr. Jovi
  204. [05:39.46] <blumenkranz> No, but you could be right in the money if you changed that title.
  205. [05:39.58] <Battersea> Mrs. D:
  206. [05:40.06] <Battersea> fug
  207. [05:40.13] <blumenkranz> Almost.
  208. [05:40.14] <~Derisyan> Battersea, remember the chromosome thing I mentioned?
  209. [05:40.20] <Battersea> Yeah
  210. [05:40.22] <blumenkranz> Let's say she studied.
  211. [05:40.28] <~Derisyan> care to share?
  212. [05:40.57] <Battersea> The clones were of a male, but were engineered to be female
  213. [05:41.08] <~Derisyan> the other way around
  214. [05:41.15] <Battersea> Oh, well, anyway
  215. [05:41.26] <~Derisyan> No one knows where the fuck the Y chromosome came from
  216. [05:41.27] <blumenkranz> Ms. Bishop.
  217. [05:41.56] <~Derisyan> who is very very sick
  218. [05:42.02] <Battersea> I was already thinking mr. Jovi cloned himself but as a girl for a waifu
  219. [05:42.14] <blumenkranz> Why is she sick?
  220. [05:42.26] <~Derisyan> why indeed
  221. [05:43.08] <Battersea> (there's that Peter F. Hamilton book where a megacorp is staffed with pretty much just clones of it's founder, that's a fun concept)
  222. [05:43.18] <~Derisyan> Neuromancer too
  223. [05:43.29] <~Derisyan> But cloning is still babby tier at this point -no pun intended
  224. [05:43.40] <~Derisyan> fails more often than succeeds
  225. [05:44.03] <blumenkranz> Apollo?
  226. [05:44.10] <~Derisyan> and his other name?
  227. [05:44.12] <blumenkranz> Did Apollo give powers to Delphi?
  228. [05:44.46] <blumenkranz> Helios.
  229. [05:44.50] <blumenkranz> Fug.
  230. [05:44.51] <~Derisyan> :D
  231. [05:44.53] <blumenkranz> FUG.
  232. [05:44.58] <blumenkranz> Fugfugfugfugfug.
  233. [05:45.25] <Toledo> Fuck pills, we goin' hella deep son
  234. [05:45.45] <~Derisyan> Also, blumenkranz character took some hard drugs
  235. [05:45.55] <blumenkranz> Yes. Now I am tripping balls.
  236. [05:46.10] <~Derisyan> It gave her godly empathy powers at a high price
  237. [05:46.29] <Toledo> Lovely
  238. [05:46.33] <~Derisyan> Now the high is over, and she sees danger everywhere
  239. [05:46.54] <blumenkranz> You telling me this is also a vital part of the plot?
  240. [05:46.54] <Toledo> y0k's still borderline cyber-psychotic, right?
  241. [05:47.08] <blumenkranz> Not anymore, but he is still cuhrayzee.
  242. [05:47.17] <~Derisyan> less borderline, they gave him hypno therapy to calm his tits a little
  243. [05:47.29] <~Derisyan> got a couple points of EMP back I think
  244. [05:47.46] <blumenkranz> +2 IIRC
  245. [05:47.53] <~Derisyan> Everything directly related to the Oracle of Delphi is vital
  246. [05:49.08] <blumenkranz> You are going to fuck my brain very hard if you tell me my SUGAR burst was a metaphor of Delphi.
  247. [05:49.23] <Toledo> wisdom-domb
  248. [05:49.25] <Toledo> bomb*
  249. [05:49.28] <~Derisyan> nah, you didnt get extra awarness
  250. [05:49.30] <~Derisyan> just empathy
  251. [05:49.38] <~Derisyan> Im bad at metaphors anyway
  252. [05:49.47] <~Derisyan> I would rather put a gorillion interconnected references
  253. [05:49.55] <Toledo> So you're jumpy as all heck yet you're the most pleasant person on the planet.
  254. [05:50.05] <~Derisyan> nope
  255. [05:50.17] <~Derisyan> Once the pleasant effect ends, the anxiety hits
  256. [05:50.28] <~Derisyan> sort of like withdrawal
  257. [05:50.35] <Toledo> Ah, ok
  258. [05:50.41] <blumenkranz> Natalya did manage to be the most empathic person on Earth before that, though.
  259. [05:50.45] <blumenkranz> It's a hell of a drug.
  260. [05:51.04] <~Derisyan> Can you imainge how it feels be on the Mr Bones Wild Ride
  261. [05:51.09] <blumenkranz> Pls no.
  262. [05:51.11] <Toledo> dat serotonin mang
  263. [05:51.27] <~Derisyan> y0k has a random sampling of your drugs
  264. [05:51.30] <~Derisyan> just saying
  265. [05:51.34] <Toledo> Oh shit.
  266. [05:51.37] <blumenkranz> Hope he doesn't go nuts.
  267. [05:51.45] <blumenkranz> Although he already did.
  268. [05:51.52] <~Derisyan> y0k doesnt know about Mr Bones Wild Ride
  269. [05:51.54] <~Derisyan> right?
  270. [05:51.59] <blumenkranz> Nope.
  271. [05:52.07] <blumenkranz> I made him believe I would never do such a thing.
  272. [05:52.12] <blumenkranz> :^)
  273. [05:52.17] <Toledo> Who's got the highest cool?
  274. [05:52.22] <Battersea> I have 9
  275. [05:52.25] <~Derisyan> batter I think
  276. [05:52.31] <blumenkranz> Coolest person in this party.
  277. [05:52.31] <~Derisyan> Gotta be cool to survive the streets
  278. [05:52.32] <Toledo> Just one below
  279. [05:52.44] <~Derisyan> >cop and fixer are the coolest dudes
  280. [05:53.03] <~Derisyan> This is like a lot of 90s movies
  281. [05:53.11] <blumenkranz> Ah Der.
  282. [05:53.13] <Toledo> 12mm handcannon; you gotta be cool with that thing
  283. [05:53.20] <Toledo> Blow yer goddamn hand off
  284. [05:53.22] <blumenkranz> Did Natalya calm her nipples after cumming with that cake?
  285. [05:53.42] <Toledo> wat
  286. [05:53.46] <blumenkranz> Eh.
  287. [05:53.49] <blumenkranz> It's hard to explain.
  288. [05:54.13] <blumenkranz> Let's just say she loves cake.
  289. [05:54.47] <~Derisyan> >we matrix reloaded now
  290. [05:54.47] <Toledo> Probably the most plain character here
  291. [05:54.57] <~Derisyan> who?
  292. [05:55.00] <Toledo> My guy
  293. [05:55.08] <~Derisyan> nah, everybody started flat
  294. [05:55.12] <~Derisyan> then shenaningans happen
  295. [05:55.18] <~Derisyan> And it shaped personalities
  296. [05:55.23] <Battersea> We went to a maid cafe today :3
  297. [05:55.24] <~Derisyan> amirite
  298. [05:55.32] <blumenkranz> Battersea and Natalya happen to be weaboos.
  299. [05:55.46] <blumenkranz> Possibly Yok too, but chances are he won't ever admit it.
  300. [05:55.47] <~Derisyan> >russian weaboo
  301. [05:55.50] <Toledo> I know y0k's edgelord supreme
  302. [05:55.51] <~Derisyan> this is like reverse crimea
  303. [05:56.05] <Toledo> >rides a Darkwarrior motorcycle
  304. [05:56.09] <blumenkranz> :DDDDDDD
  305. [05:56.19] <~Derisyan> y0k still edgy
  306. [05:56.23] <Toledo> pssssh, nothin personnel chummer
  307. [05:56.30] <~Derisyan> He has managed to make not a single ally on this run
  308. [05:56.38] <~Derisyan> And probably killed the only one he had beforehand
  309. [05:56.40] <blumenkranz> Hey.
  310. [05:56.50] <~Derisyan> NPC ally, sorry
  311. [05:56.52] <blumenkranz> Crimea's prosecutor is also named Natalya.
  312. [05:57.03] <~Derisyan> HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED
  313. [05:57.14] <Toledo> 4th wall smashed a pissed on confirmed

  316. [05:58.06] <Toledo> Oh shit yes
  317. [05:58.09] <~Derisyan> My point is, depth will emerge during gameplay
  318. [05:58.15] <Toledo> I found bl0ws drawings in the archive
  319. [05:58.23] <~Derisyan> it always happens that way
  320. [05:58.36] <~Derisyan> You can plan your character, but you need to give a breath of life of sorts
  321. [05:59.22] <Toledo> I think I need to expand on why my guy joined with Nomads and how he came back to work as a cop and inbetween that as well
  322. [05:59.26] <Toledo> I got a little too eager
  323. [05:59.35] <~Derisyan> You'll do fine
  324. [05:59.43] <~Derisyan> eagerness is good
  325. [06:00.14] <blumenkranz> Wait.
  326. [06:00.22] <blumenkranz> Is Olympus a floating bulding?
  327. [06:00.43] <~Derisyan> nope, it's supported by nanocarbon columns
  328. [06:01.03] <blumenkranz> That's all I needed to know. :^)
  329. [06:01.07] <~Derisyan> it's a 200 meter drop though, and that if you aim for the higher buildings
  330. [06:01.45] <blumenkranz> It's absolutely impossible to access Olympus.
  331. [06:02.00] <blumenkranz> Without the required credentials, that is. :^)
  332. [06:02.08] <Toledo> *ahem*
  333. [06:02.17] <Toledo> Authority 7
  334. [06:02.29] <Toledo> Actually come to think of it.
  335. [06:02.37] <Toledo> Yeah, nope.
  336. [06:02.46] <blumenkranz> Why did we all put 7 in out jobs?
  337. [06:02.52] <Battersea> I have 8!
  338. [06:02.55] <~Derisyan> brouzouf
  339. [06:02.58] <blumenkranz> DUNDUNDUNNNN
  340. [06:03.05] <~Derisyan> the more points in job, the more brouzouf
  341. [06:03.07] <Toledo> Cause I like the title of investigator
  342. [06:03.09] <blumenkranz> You gain Brouzouf.
  343. [06:03.12] <Toledo> And brouzouf...
  344. [06:03.21] <~Derisyan> first comes the brouzouf
  345. [06:03.26] <~Derisyan> then comes the holo-waifus
  346. [06:03.40] <blumenkranz> Did the geek run out of the cafe?
  347. [06:03.40] <Toledo> Step 1: Gain brouzouf
  348. [06:03.45] <Toledo> Step 2: Check legs
  349. [06:04.09] <~Derisyan> he dropped his spagetthi
  350. [06:04.14] <~Derisyan> fucking maidStop
  351. [06:04.20] <blumenkranz> Shouldn't have orgasmed so hard.
  352. [06:06.20] <~Derisyan> anyway, care to tell what happened after Mr Jove arrived?
  353. [06:06.24] <blumenkranz> Oh, yes.
  354. [06:06.30] <blumenkranz> First, I tried to seduce him.
  355. [06:06.32] <blumenkranz> I failed.
  356. [06:06.39] <blumenkranz> I told him that he was an eunuch.
  357. [06:06.43] <blumenkranz> I got electroshocked.
  358. [06:06.46] <blumenkranz> Stun.
  359. [06:06.57] <blumenkranz> Then Yokai started to LIVE ON THE EDGE
  360. [06:07.11] <blumenkranz> Laughed in the corp's face several times.
  361. [06:07.18] <blumenkranz> He finally got half of his face blown off.
  362. [06:07.21] <blumenkranz> Somehow he survived.
  363. [06:08.05] <blumenkranz> The guy told us we had to find Phineas Bishop, a triple A * VIP that got lost during the riots that started during session 1.
  364. [06:08.21] <blumenkranz> He was the heir of Pallas Consulting. Or so he said.
  365. [06:08.53] <~Derisyan> btw: if in the first session you would have been in the right place at the right time, you have meet the Oracle in person.
  366. [06:08.55] <blumenkranz> Battersea got out of there first, but Yok and Nat decided to get some more implants.
  367. [06:09.12] <blumenkranz> First first session or second session?
  368. [06:09.17] <~Derisyan> second
  369. [06:09.18] <blumenkranz> I joined during second session.
  370. [06:09.21] <blumenkranz> Fugg.
  371. [06:09.34] <~Derisyan> it was a real longshot though
  372. [06:09.39] <blumenkranz> The police cars didn't come for us.
  373. [06:10.12] <blumenkranz> That's why I had to blow up the bomb at o'clock.
  374. [06:11.08] <blumenkranz> If we had stayed, we would have seen him.
  375. [06:11.18] <~Derisyan> not necessarly
  376. [06:11.22] <~Derisyan> right place and right time
  377. [06:11.44] <blumenkranz> Empty building at o'clock, right?
  378. [06:11.44] <~Derisyan> you are missing a piece of the puzzle, blumen
  379. [06:11.52] <~Derisyan> but carry on
  380. [06:12.08] <blumenkranz> This is 2deep4me.
  381. [06:12.24] <~Derisyan> nah, it's only a bunch of liars hiding stuff
  382. [06:12.45] <blumenkranz> So, pretty much everything Jovi told us was bullshit.
  383. [06:12.53] <~Derisyan> corps gonna corp
  384. [06:12.54] <blumenkranz> But why would have he lied to us?
  385. [06:13.04] <blumenkranz> >corps gonna corp
  386. [06:13.09] <~Derisyan> steganography
  387. [06:13.22] <~Derisyan> He doesnt wanted you to know
  388. [06:13.30] <blumenkranz> Donurado-kun, are you trying to trick me again?
  389. [06:13.43] <~Derisyan> Because he wants someone to think you know something you dont know
  390. [06:13.56] <~Derisyan> But if someone thinks you know, and you act like you dont know (because you dont know)
  391. [06:14.02] <~Derisyan> you fuck with the Oracle predictions
  392. [06:14.15] <~Derisyan> accurate data gives accurate results
  393. [06:14.22] <~Derisyan> inaccurate data, etc, etc
  394. [06:14.27] <Battersea> fug
  395. [06:14.34] <blumenkranz> What did you see, Battersea?
  396. [06:14.46] <~Derisyan> ignorance was on your favor
  397. [06:14.52] <~Derisyan> the more you know, the more predictable you are
  398. [06:15.05] <blumenkranz> Randomness is our ally.
  399. [06:15.32] <Battersea> >tfw we'll get outplayed by ourselves when trying to find the kid

  401. [06:16.34] <blumenkranz> I'm getting 403.
  402. [06:16.39] <blumenkranz> Can you upload it to imgur?
  403. [06:16.58] <~Derisyan> how bout this

  405. [06:17.23] <blumenkranz> This one does.
  406. [06:17.31] <blumenkranz> What does he have between his hands?
  407. [06:17.42] <~Derisyan> A bunch of fags
  408. [06:17.51] <blumenkranz> Wait, is that Tarantino?
  409. [06:17.57] <~Derisyan> Spacey
  410. [06:18.06] <~Derisyan> good movie, I recommend it
  411. [06:18.17] <Battersea> The Usual Suspects?
  412. [06:18.20] <~Derisyan> yup
  413. [06:18.24] <blumenkranz> I thought you wanted to kill us in a gruesome way.
  414. [06:18.42] <~Derisyan> Wel, I rp the people who may turn out killing you
  415. [06:18.51] <blumenkranz> True that.
  416. [06:18.53] <~Derisyan> probably in a gruesome way
  417. [06:20.24] <~Derisyan> In a nutshell, this is a run about outsmarting someone who thinks 100 times faster and can predict your next move
  418. [06:20.37] <blumenkranz> We don't need to outsmart him.
  419. [06:20.41] <blumenkranz> We need to outdumb him.
  420. [06:20.45] <Battersea> Heh
  421. [06:20.46] <~Derisyan> that works too
  422. [06:20.55] <Battersea> >mfw I die ++http://i.imgur.com/GJJRcP9.jpg,,
  423. [06:21.20] <~Derisyan> Seriously, imagine how would the other corps react if the existence of the Oracle gets leaked
  424. [06:21.35] <Toledo> PANIC
  425. [06:21.47] <~Derisyan> It would be worth risking ANYTHING to get their hands on him
  426. [06:21.49] <blumenkranz> Der, did you have a certain Futurama episode's plot in mind when designing RAD-48?
  427. [06:21.57] <~Derisyan> not in specific
  428. [06:22.02] <~Derisyan> I took a bit from here and there
  429. [06:22.27] <Battersea> I set up a sort of a dead man's switch that'll leak the document if I don't survive the run
  430. [06:22.32] <Battersea> I just hope it'll work
  431. [06:22.32] <blumenkranz> Because it would actually make a lot of sense making us walking paradoxes.
  432. [06:22.50] <~Derisyan> besides is a pretty cool move in the gran scheme of things
  433. [06:22.52] <blumenkranz> We became our own grandfathers, we don't send out any brain waves to the outside.
  434. [06:23.02] <blumenkranz> We're immune to the giant brains.
  435. [06:23.06] <~Derisyan> No one on their right mind would provoke a World War out of spite
  436. [06:23.07] <~Derisyan> right?
  437. [06:23.21] <Battersea> >implying I'm in my right mind
  438. [06:23.23] <~Derisyan> T-the Oracle can forsee it... right?
  439. [06:23.46] <blumenkranz> >Implying Battersea isn't PLOT PROTECTED now
  440. [06:24.10] <Toledo> Plot armoured. Heh.
  441. [06:24.21] <Battersea> >implying I won't leak it anyway just to see what'll happen
  442. [06:24.31] <blumenkranz> He got his ESSENTIAL flag turned up.
  443. [06:24.32] <~Derisyan> If you leak it, you cripple the Oracle's predicitions
  444. [06:24.47] <~Derisyan> Because the Oracle hasn't forseen such a suicidal move
  445. [06:25.10] <~Derisyan> And without the crucial data about the leak, it may as well be blind for several months
  446. [06:25.12] <blumenkranz> >Not DDoSing the Oracle's mind so we can attack while he isn't aware
  447. [06:25.34] <~Derisyan> >DDoSing a mind that can run realities at sanic speed
  448. [06:25.43] <~Derisyan> At most you would lag him to real-time
  449. [06:25.56] <blumenkranz> Well, actually it would be more like setting up a paradox machine.
  450. [06:26.05] <Toledo> >Call up the 2020 equivalent of Anonymous to put their LOIC's onto Oracle who we say is a 2020 version of Westboro
  451. [06:26.07] <~Derisyan> I think I see your plan
  452. [06:26.08] <blumenkranz> Can't compute, it breaks.
  453. [06:26.21] <~Derisyan> That's the beauty of the thing
  454. [06:26.29] <blumenkranz> A small question about RAD-48.
  455. [06:26.35] <~Derisyan> shoot
  456. [06:26.41] <blumenkranz> It's cuhrayzee, but...
  457. [06:26.49] <blumenkranz> Are WE the RAD-48?
  458. [06:26.58] <Toledo> What's RAD-48...
  459. [06:27.01] <Toledo> What's anything.
  460. [06:27.02] <~Derisyan> No
  461. [06:27.08] <blumenkranz> A device we have in the back of our head.
  462. [06:27.15] <~Derisyan> RAD-48 is something Natalya found on a file with her name
  463. [06:27.17] <Toledo> All of us?
  464. [06:27.31] <~Derisyan> The ones who got the ticking bomb on their necks
  465. [06:27.35] <blumenkranz> So, even if we lose the RAD-48, we still can control our characters, right?
  466. [06:27.45] <~Derisyan> yes, I dont see why not
  467. [06:27.50] <blumenkranz> Ah, cool.
  468. [06:28.03] <blumenkranz> I thought you were going to set up a metaplot where the RAD-48 was actually player input.
  469. [06:28.04] <~Derisyan> only death and cyberpsychosis would force me to take away your characters
  470. [06:28.14] <~Derisyan> Nah, I'm not going meta
  471. [06:28.17] <~Derisyan> besides
  472. [06:28.20] <blumenkranz> Alrighty.
  473. [06:28.26] <~Derisyan> You were controlling your characters BEFORE RAD-48
  474. [06:28.36] <blumenkranz> >Implying that wasn't completely controlled
  475. [06:28.38] <~Derisyan> We wont get existencial drama
  476. [06:28.55] <~Derisyan> other than questions about free will I guess
  477. [06:29.04] <~Derisyan> since we are dealing with a seer
  478. [06:29.17] <blumenkranz> Could we show the middle finger to destiny?
  479. [06:29.27] <Toledo> I second that option.
  480. [06:29.31] <~Derisyan> in a way, you are doing just that
  481. [06:29.53] <blumenkranz> Well, Battersea did.
  482. [06:29.58] <~Derisyan> Toledo, allow me to explain how the fuck we got an Oracle in a cyberpunk game
  483. [06:30.08] <~Derisyan> It's a kid with some serious neuralware
  484. [06:30.21] <~Derisyan> It's a monstrosity of processing hooked to his brain since almost birth
  485. [06:30.30] <~Derisyan> VR Neuralware
  486. [06:30.47] <Toledo> Since birth?
  487. [06:30.51] <~Derisyan> almost
  488. [06:31.00] <~Derisyan> Not saying more about that for the time being
  489. [06:31.03] <~Derisyan> Anyway
  490. [06:31.06] <blumenkranz> >Implying it didn't get hookep up when he was 1
  491. [06:31.07] <Toledo> So we don't know how old this... thing is yet.
  492. [06:31.14] <Toledo> Interesting.
  493. [06:31.18] <~Derisyan> The Oracle can process data at sanic speeds
  494. [06:31.38] <~Derisyan> It runs several simulated realities at once
  495. [06:31.48] <~Derisyan> based on the data they feed him
  496. [06:32.00] <~Derisyan> he then picks the reality with the most likely outcome
  497. [06:32.04] <~Derisyan> again, based on data
  498. [06:32.04] <blumenkranz> Uh.
  499. [06:32.10] <blumenkranz> Now that I think about it...
  500. [06:32.16] <~Derisyan> That's how it makes predictions
  501. [06:32.17] <blumenkranz> The Oracle let this happen.
  502. [06:32.26] <~Derisyan> head hurting yet?
  503. [06:32.32] <blumenkranz> It has just begun.
  504. [06:32.37] <Toledo> Are we a threat to the Oracle?
  505. [06:32.41] <Battersea> You can't stop it
  506. [06:32.41] <Toledo> Or just another tool?
  507. [06:32.49] <blumenkranz> There are
  508. [06:32.51] <blumenkranz> NO
  509. [06:32.54] <blumenkranz> BRAKES
  510. [06:33.17] <blumenkranz> smug_pepe.jpg
  511. [06:33.28] <Toledo> If we are a threat, why allow it to escape to the point where it can harm predictions?
  512. [06:33.50] <blumenkranz> We're commanded to rescue the Oracle.
  513. [06:34.00] <blumenkranz> But maybe he doesn't want to get rescued.
  514. [06:34.08] <blumenkranz> Wait.
  515. [06:34.09] <Toledo> Commanded. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT
  516. [06:34.12] <blumenkranz> Let's demonstrate it.
  517. [06:34.32] <blumenkranz> The Oracle let this happen, for he would have known someone inside Olympus wanted to get him.
  518. [06:34.48] <blumenkranz> He decided not to tell anyone about it.
  519. [06:34.56] <blumenkranz> He does have some free will, to a certain point.
  520. [06:35.22] <blumenkranz> Why did they hire some nobodies instead of Talos cyborgs?
  521. [06:35.28] <blumenkranz> Because it increases enthropy.
  522. [06:35.47] <blumenkranz> Why do we have the RAD attached to our heads?
  523. [06:35.55] <blumenkranz> Because it makes it more difficult to him to read our minds.
  524. [06:36.03] <blumenkranz> If he can choose to not say something...

  526. [06:36.16] <blumenkranz> That means he doesn't want us to come close to him.
  527. [06:36.26] <blumenkranz> Or else, he would tell nobody.
  528. [06:36.55] <blumenkranz> We're a threat to him, right now.
  529. [06:37.20] <blumenkranz> That's why Palas took its time to make us as unpredictable as possible.
  530. [06:37.21] <Toledo> Can't even begin to decipher this ordeal since I'm just new to this.
  531. [06:37.33] <~Derisyan> dont worry
  532. [06:37.38] <~Derisyan> most of the info just surfaced today
  533. [06:37.39] <blumenkranz> tl;dr we're weaponized random
  534. [06:38.12] <~Derisyan> blumenkranz and battersea are not exactly better than you by a wide margin
  535. [06:38.35] <~Derisyan> cold hard facts:
  536. [06:38.45] <~Derisyan> Mr. Jove ordered you to rescue The Oracle
  537. [06:38.57] <~Derisyan> The Oracle is linked to the Jove family somehow
  538. [06:39.08] <~Derisyan> The Oracle may or may not have forseen this.
  539. [06:39.28] <blumenkranz> Oh god.
  540. [06:39.32] <~Derisyan> everything else is speculation with varying degrees of veracity
  541. [06:39.32] <blumenkranz> Lydia didn't hate the kid.
  542. [06:39.43] <Toledo> L-Lydia?
  543. [06:39.51] <blumenkranz> Mr. Jovi's daughter.
  544. [06:39.56] <~Derisyan> yeah
  545. [06:40.04] <blumenkranz> At first I thought she hated the kid.
  546. [06:40.07] <blumenkranz> She hates her father.
  547. [06:40.41] <~Derisyan> consider who Dio Jovi references
  548. [06:40.49] <~Derisyan> I would hate Zeus if he were my dad too
  549. [06:41.14] <blumenkranz> When did he say that?
  550. [06:41.36] <~Derisyan> He said his full name: Dio Jovi.
  551. [06:42.00] <~Derisyan> "I am Dio Jovi, head of Pallas"
  552. [06:42.08] <blumenkranz> I-I don't get it.
  553. [06:42.22] <~Derisyan> Athena was born form Zeus head
  554. [06:42.55] <~Derisyan> anyway
  555. [06:42.58] <blumenkranz> I think I just crit. failed.
  556. [06:43.00] <~Derisyan> Let's go back to the facts
  557. [06:43.23] <~Derisyan> Lydia, the daugther of Jove, spoke with Natalya
  558. [06:43.33] <~Derisyan> She certainly doesn't think highly of her father
  559. [06:43.43] <~Derisyan> And she left the building in a rush
  560. [06:43.50] <blumenkranz> HOLD IT.
  561. [06:43.54] <blumenkranz> When did she do that?
  562. [06:44.02] <blumenkranz> I can't remember what made her burst.
  563. [06:44.03] <~Derisyan> Don't you remember?
  564. [06:44.17] <~Derisyan> you triggered her :V
  565. [06:44.27] <~Derisyan> You said "heir"
  566. [06:44.29] <blumenkranz> I remember her bursting, but I don't remember what I said to trigger her. D:
  567. [06:44.33] <blumenkranz> Hmmm...
  568. [06:45.01] <blumenkranz> SPECULATION TIME.
  569. [06:45.12] <blumenkranz> She knows something we don't.
  570. [06:45.19] <~Derisyan> yes
  571. [06:45.24] <~Derisyan> now she does
  572. [06:45.32] <blumenkranz> But she knew something else.
  573. [06:45.45] <Toledo> Now I feel like I shoulda put more points into interrogation.
  574. [06:45.45] <blumenkranz> Something else that, in conjuction with that, triggered her.
  575. [06:45.51] <blumenkranz> She solved the puzzle.
  576. [06:46.05] <blumenkranz> Didn't she?
  577. [06:46.18] <~Derisyan> :3
  578. [06:46.29] <blumenkranz> At first I thought she was jealous.
  579. [06:46.37] <blumenkranz> But my SPECULATION MODE tells me otherwise.
  580. [06:46.49] <blumenkranz> She hates her father, but...
  581. [06:46.52] <blumenkranz> She loves her mother.
  582. [06:47.27] <blumenkranz> Mrs. Bishop might not be sick after all.
  583. [06:47.57] <blumenkranz> It is possible Lydia and Juno cooperated to get the kid out of there.
  584. [06:48.18] <blumenkranz> The painting, could have it been a gift from her mother?
  585. [06:49.28] <blumenkranz> Juno is with her kid/clone. They have escaped Olympus.
  586. [06:49.49] <blumenkranz> >Juno, goddess of maternity
  587. [06:49.54] <blumenkranz> Oh, you clever bastard.
  588. [06:50.35] <blumenkranz> Oooh, wait.
  589. [06:50.40] <blumenkranz> She was married to Jupiter.
  590. [06:50.47] <blumenkranz> Also known as...
  591. [06:50.49] <blumenkranz> Jove.
  592. [06:50.53] <~Derisyan> The painting is a Buckley joke, nothing less
  593. [06:50.59] <~Derisyan> So you can safely skip that
  594. [06:51.05] <blumenkranz> Who happens to be Zeus.
  595. [06:51.13] <blumenkranz> Oh. ;_M
  596. [06:51.50] <~Derisyan> it was rigged because anything in that office that is worth more than 50 bb is rigged
  597. [06:51.50] <blumenkranz> Well, with the painting I mean what was written on it.
  598. [06:52.04] <~Derisyan> oh that
  599. [06:52.12] <blumenkranz> Her mother sent her the painting.
  600. [06:52.13] <~Derisyan> Very small clue, but clue nonetheless
  601. [06:52.19] <blumenkranz> Because steganography.
  602. [06:54.08] <~Derisyan> Everything else is right on the money
  603. [06:54.23] <~Derisyan> incomplete, but right
  604. [06:54.56] <blumenkranz> Lydia in this story might be Athenea, like you suggested.
  605. [06:55.09] <blumenkranz> She is a doctor after all.
  606. [06:55.17] <blumenkranz> She inherited her father's intelligence.
  607. [06:55.34] <~Derisyan> Just remember how Athena got the name "Pallas"
  608. [06:55.49] <blumenkranz> Goddess of war?
  609. [06:55.54] <blumenkranz> Not even Ares can with her?
  610. [06:56.07] <blumenkranz> Mind == blown
  611. [06:56.10] <Toledo> Athena and doctor don't really match.
  612. [06:56.17] <~Derisyan> They don't
  613. [06:56.26] <~Derisyan> Lydia is not Athena
  614. [06:56.28] <Toledo> She's the goddess of law, justice and war.
  615. [06:56.31] <blumenkranz> Well, she is the goddess of knowledge.
  616. [06:56.34] <~Derisyan> But remember how Athena got the name Pallas
  617. [06:57.15] <~Derisyan> There IS a goddess called Lydia
  618. [06:57.20] <blumenkranz> According to Wikipedia...
  619. [06:57.34] <blumenkranz> She got that name after killing her father, who tried to rape her.
  620. [06:57.41] <~Derisyan> just sayan
  621. [06:57.47] <Toledo> Knowledge wouldn't necessarilly mean healing, knowledge is subjective
  622. [06:57.53] <~Derisyan> And Jove owns Pallas
  623. [06:57.59] <~Derisyan> again, just sayan
  624. [06:58.14] <blumenkranz> Well, I am not sure what is she a doctor of.
  625. [06:58.26] <blumenkranz> She has a STEM, but no idea which one.
  626. [06:58.44] <Toledo> STEM eh
  627. [06:58.53] <Toledo> Could be biology?
  628. [06:59.17] <blumenkranz> All I know is I get the same magazine than her.
  629. [06:59.22] <blumenkranz> *as
  630. [06:59.31] <~Derisyan> Well, anybody who works in a hospital gets it
  631. [06:59.33] <blumenkranz> And I am an expert on pharmaceutics.
  632. [06:59.39] <blumenkranz> Fugg.
  633. [06:59.41] <~Derisyan> or a lab
  634. [06:59.50] <Toledo> There's our answer
  635. [07:01.54] <blumenkranz> So...
  636. [07:01.56] <blumenkranz> Pallas Athena.
  637. [07:02.13] <~Derisyan> Well, it's Pallas Consulting
  638. [07:02.17] <~Derisyan> Not Pallas Athena Consulting
  639. [07:02.32] <blumenkranz> Athena is kill?
  640. [07:02.53] <~Derisyan> I will only say
  641. [07:02.58] <~Derisyan> that Lydia is not Athena
  642. [07:03.43] <blumenkranz> So, when you mentioned Pallas Athena, did you mention to the bit about her trying to get raped by her father?
  643. [07:03.53] <blumenkranz> Because Wikipedia points out more than one meaning.
  644. [07:04.50] <~Derisyan> Im using other
  645. [07:05.04] <blumenkranz> Hmm...
  646. [07:06.20] <blumenkranz> Friend of Athena?
  647. [07:07.14] <blumenkranz> Who got killed by her and stole her name?
  648. [07:07.30] <blumenkranz> So, we might as well be talking about Athenas Consulting?
  649. [07:08.18] <blumenkranz> By the way, how will our characters react when they realize the meaning of names are relevant to the mystery?
  650. [07:08.32] * DerisyanGM (~rp@Rizon-E3ED7BAA.pcs.intercable.net) has joined channel #nightcity
  651. [07:08.34] <blumenkranz> Natalya will probably get some kind of mental breakdown.
  652. [07:08.37] <blumenkranz> Welcome back.
  653. [07:08.40] <DerisyanGM> what did I miss?
  654. [07:08.45] <blumenkranz> What was the last bit you read?
  655. [07:09.08] <DerisyanGM> <Derisyan> Im using other
  656. [07:09.09] <DerisyanGM> <blumenkranz> Hmm...
  657. [07:09.21] <blumenkranz> lumenkranz | Friend of Athena?
  658. [07:09.27] <blumenkranz> blumenkranz | Who got killed by her and stole her name?
  659. [07:09.32] <blumenkranz> blumenkranz | So, we might as well be talking about Athenas Consulting?
  660. [07:09.36] <blumenkranz> blumenkranz | By the way, how will our characters react when they realize the meaning of names are relevant to the mystery?
  661. [07:09.39] <blumenkranz> Then you joined.
  662. [07:09.43] * Derisyan (~rp@Rizon-E3ED7BAA.pcs.intercable.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  663. [07:09.44] <DerisyanGM> i see
  664. [07:10.05] <DerisyanGM> knowing the greek references is a bonus
  665. [07:10.18] <DerisyanGM> The plot can be unveiled without them
  666. [07:10.33] <DerisyanGM> But as with bonus, knowing it, helps you get some stuff earlier
  667. [07:10.57] <blumenkranz> >Implying Natalya will not realize she is a character in a game when all names happen to make sense
  668. [07:10.59] * DerisyanGM is now known as Derisyan
  669. [07:11.09] * ChanServ sets mode +qo Derisyan Derisyan for #nightcity
  670. [07:11.55] <blumenkranz> Unless you explain it with some kind of retroactive Oracling.
  671. [07:12.03] <blumenkranz> Then she will get a mental breakdown anyway.
  672. [07:12.12] <~Derisyan> It's just a naming theme
  673. [07:12.24] <~Derisyan> It's just that
  674. [07:12.31] <~Derisyan> myths have a way to repeat themselves I think
  675. [07:12.55] <~Derisyan> But once they started naming everything with greek names, they got screwed I guess
  676. [07:13.12] <blumenkranz> You mean it's the gods at work again?
  677. [07:13.25] <~Derisyan> But at least they have the caution to not name anything "Icarus" or "Prometheus"
  678. [07:13.29] <~Derisyan> that's just asking for trouble
  679. [07:13.36] <Toledo> They'd be careful regardless.
  680. [07:13.45] <Toledo> Greek fables and heroes always have a tragic ending.
  681. [07:14.15] <~Derisyan> If you ask me, it was my way to represent how cyberpunk corps are powerful as the Gods of Myth
  682. [07:14.16] <blumenkranz> >Implying Prometheus isn't Battersea
  683. [07:14.25] <Toledo> Either to teach those who fear their deities not to overstep their mortal bounds.
  684. [07:14.26] <~Derisyan> Well, he stole the folder of the GOds
  685. [07:14.37] <Toledo> Or just some grim amusement.
  686. [07:14.38] <blumenkranz> And is about to give it to the people. : ^)
  687. [07:14.41] <~Derisyan> And he plans to share it to humanity
  688. [07:14.44] <~Derisyan> excatly
  689. [07:14.54] <~Derisyan> Lets just hope his liver is tasty :D
  690. [07:15.32] <~Derisyan> But I repeat
  691. [07:15.48] <~Derisyan> no posmodernism, nothing but technology as an explanation
  692. [07:15.59] <~Derisyan> At least, any explanation you will get from me
  693. [07:16.10] <~Derisyan> The beauty of fiction is that there is more than one way to interpret it
  694. [07:16.23] <blumenkranz> I know, but our characters will get mindfugged once they realize it all makes metasense.
  695. [07:16.32] <~Derisyan> oh yes they will
  696. [07:16.42] <~Derisyan> But getting fucked in the head is a proud cyberpunk tradition
  697. [07:16.50] <blumenkranz> Will we have to roll for sanity?
  698. [07:16.55] <Toledo> By bullet or by plot
  699. [07:17.01] <blumenkranz> Both.
  700. [07:17.19] <~Derisyan> we Phillip K Dick now
  701. [07:17.24] <~Derisyan> >drug use
  702. [07:17.26] <blumenkranz> benis :DDDDDDD
  703. [07:17.27] <Toledo> Electric sheep when
  704. [07:17.30] <~Derisyan> >questioning realty
  705. [07:17.34] <~Derisyan> Well....
  706. [07:17.35] <Toledo> I want my real owl faggots
  707. [07:17.41] <~Derisyan> Do the Oracle dream?
  708. [07:17.50] <~Derisyan> does he dream of simulated sheep?
  709. [07:18.03] <blumenkranz> He dreams of infinite simulated sheeps every moment.
  710. [07:18.10] <blumenkranz> Oh fug.
  711. [07:18.16] <~Derisyan> a fractal pattern of repeating sheep
  712. [07:18.20] <blumenkranz> This implies that kid has a fucking universe inside his head.
  713. [07:18.24] <~Derisyan> with no beginning or end
  714. [07:18.26] <blumenkranz> We need to go deeper.
  715. [07:18.33] <~Derisyan> we incpetion now?
  716. [07:18.34] <Toledo> we akira now
  717. [07:18.36] <blumenkranz> >Implying we're not being simulated
  718. [07:18.38] <Toledo> and that too.
  719. [07:18.38] <~Derisyan> oh right
  720. [07:18.50] <~Derisyan> >how do we know we are real if the Oracle is not real?
  721. [07:19.03] <~Derisyan> Maybe this is all a scenario playing on the mind of the Oracle
  722. [07:19.07] <Toledo> stahp
  723. [07:19.11] <blumenkranz> Pls no. ;_;
  724. [07:19.31] <Toledo> WHAT IF THE ORACLE IS AN AVATAR OF SOME DIVINE PRESENCE
  725. [07:19.37] <Toledo> hnng
  726. [07:19.42] <~Derisyan> it has specific and hardcoded rules after all
  727. [07:19.47] <blumenkranz> Everything happens to be some kind of divine avatar.
  728. [07:20.00] <blumenkranz> Or does he?
  729. [07:20.50] <blumenkranz> Does the Oracle mean of orgasming Natalyas?
  730. [07:20.52] <blumenkranz> *dream
  731. [07:21.49] <~Derisyan> maybe the orgasm of Natalya is a dream of the Oracle
  732. [07:21.57] <blumenkranz> We recursive now.
  733. [07:22.00] <~Derisyan> maybe he can only orgasm when he dreams
  734. [07:22.02] <~Derisyan> *she
  735. [07:22.12] <Toledo> Don't you do that around cake
  736. [07:22.20] <Toledo> So if cakes your trigger
  737. [07:22.21] <~Derisyan> dreams or orgasms?
  738. [07:22.21] <blumenkranz> Wait.
  739. [07:22.31] <blumenkranz> When I got the flashback...
  740. [07:22.40] <Toledo> Cake comes from bakers, bakers make cakes from eggs and flour
  741. [07:22.46] <Toledo> Chickens.
  742. [07:22.47] <blumenkranz> You said "he said it as if the whole world, or at least his world, would crumble".
  743. [07:22.49] <Toledo> Fucking chickens.
  744. [07:22.50] <blumenkranz> >tho whole world
  745. [07:22.56] <~Derisyan> Yes you remember :3
  746. [07:23.04] <~Derisyan> >or at least, his world
  747. [07:23.20] <blumenkranz> However, he would have known.
  748. [07:23.44] <blumenkranz> If the Oracle died and the Universe was linked to his existance, he wouldn't have said "let's hope he is not".
  749. [07:24.01] <Toledo> Wouldn't be true anyway
  750. [07:24.24] <Toledo> Something as infinite as the cosmos and beyond can't be bound to a simple entity
  751. [07:24.35] <blumenkranz> >Implying the kid isn't GOD
  752. [07:24.50] <Toledo> If so then we're incredibly out of our element.
  753. [07:24.51] <~Derisyan> I think Natalya is still on Sugar withdrawal
  754. [07:24.56] <~Derisyan> Sugar, not even once.
  755. [07:25.02] <blumenkranz> Yeah, I think I am overcomplicating the plot.
  756. [07:25.08] <Toledo> I'm a fucking cop, not a damned space-warrior.
  757. [07:25.13] <~Derisyan> which is nice IC
  758. [07:25.24] <blumenkranz> But I am OOC right now.
  759. [07:25.25] <~Derisyan> Because you are having an anxiety attack every 5 minutes or so
  760. [07:25.28] <~Derisyan> welp
  761. [07:25.35] <~Derisyan> lay off the sugar, buddy
  762. [07:25.46] <blumenkranz> SUGAR: so fucking powerful it can give a high to the player.
  763. [07:25.55] <~Derisyan> that's sum strong drug
  764. [07:26.04] <blumenkranz> Strong enough to break the fourth wall.
  765. [07:26.08] <Toledo> columbians btfo
  766. [07:26.13] <Toledo> sugar is the new in
  767. [07:26.15] <blumenkranz> WE META NOW
  768. [07:26.20] <~Derisyan> metadrugs man
  769. [07:26.36] <blumenkranz> So Der, does the campaign involve metaphysics?
  770. [07:26.40] <~Derisyan> nope
  771. [07:26.42] <blumenkranz> Or is it down-to-earth
  772. [07:26.50] <~Derisyan> at most, it's cyberpunk science
  773. [07:26.50] <blumenkranz> Then recursive universe theory discarded.
  774. [07:26.53] <Toledo> Great.
  775. [07:27.03] <Toledo> I really cannot be arsed with Gnosticism.
  776. [07:27.05] <~Derisyan> Also I told thrice already that there will be no existencial drama
  777. [07:27.20] <~Derisyan> No questioning reality or preception (unless you use drugs)
  778. [07:27.46] <blumenkranz> Sorry, I have -7 to all rolls.
  779. [07:27.51] <~Derisyan> The Oracle is a concept from computer science
  780. [07:27.52] <Toledo> (though we should totally do something like this where space-wizards are a thing and humanity is at the level of pan-dimensional exploration)
  781. [07:27.56] <~Derisyan> A Turing Oracle to be exact
  782. [07:28.07] <~Derisyan> A problem-solving black box
  783. [07:28.30] <~Derisyan> It calculates all outcomes of a problem
  784. [07:28.32] <blumenkranz> So, the kid is O(1)?
  785. [07:28.58] <~Derisyan> It's a black box, and by definition, you don't how it works. Only that it works.
  786. [07:29.27] <blumenkranz> According to this, Oracle Machines perform only one operation over data.
  787. [07:29.44] <~Derisyan> yup, that's why you only ask them one thing
  788. [07:29.58] <~Derisyan> The Oracle cant answer "what will happen tomorrow"
  789. [07:30.14] <Toledo> I see
  790. [07:30.16] <blumenkranz> Hmmm...
  791. [07:30.25] <blumenkranz> I guess the corps would have covered that possibility.
  792. [07:30.28] <Toledo> That's too wide a question; it deals in specifics.
  793. [07:30.31] <~Derisyan> But it can answer "will the blockchains be hacked tomorrow"
  794. [07:30.40] <~Derisyan> That's why you need a human mind
  795. [07:30.42] <blumenkranz> "When will something bad happen to you?"
  796. [07:30.49] <~Derisyan> It needs a logical base able to understand context
  797. [07:31.01] <Toledo> Of course
  798. [07:31.20] <blumenkranz> Anyway, it's getting late here.
  799. [07:31.24] <blumenkranz> I should go now.
  800. [07:31.27] <Toledo> Logic helps define and determine the solidarity of a concept
  801. [07:31.31] <blumenkranz> Enough CONSPIRACY THEORAN for today.
  802. [07:31.32] <~Derisyan> whoever needs to leave, feel free too
  803. [07:31.38] <~Derisyan> and rest well
  804. [07:31.42] <Toledo> Ease off the sugar
  805. [07:31.45] <blumenkranz> I will come back in a few hours.
  806. [07:31.49] <blumenkranz> Thanks, you too.
  807. [07:31.57] <blumenkranz> I cooked it, I TAKE IT.
  808. [07:31.57] <Toledo> I-I'll try.
  809. [07:32.00] <blumenkranz> FOR SUGAR.
  810. [07:32.11] <blumenkranz> See you tomorrow m8s.
  811. [07:32.15] * blumenkranz (~blumenkra@Rizon-AEA6F50A.red-83-53-16.dynamicip.rima-tde.net) Quit (Quit: WeeChat 0.4.2)
  812. [07:32.54] <~Derisyan> I hope you chombas have enjoyed the show btw
  813. [07:33.12] <~Derisyan> Meso, Archaeon, etc...
  814. [07:33.50] <Toledo> I need to contemplate...
  815. [07:33.52] <Toledo> everything.
  816. [07:34.03] <~Derisyan> blumen overcomplicated stuff
  817. [07:34.06] <~Derisyan> Stick to the facts
  818. [07:34.38] <~Derisyan> There is a cyborg with very powerful hardware running a Turing Oracle program
  819. [07:34.54] <Toledo> Here I thought you said a while ago that we'd be doing simple stuff
  820. [07:35.04] <Toledo> nope.
  821. [07:35.26] <~Derisyan> It is simple on your end
  822. [07:35.43] <~Derisyan> Find kid, deliver him to the more convenient target
  823. [07:35.46] <~Derisyan> or kill it
  824. [07:36.17] <~Derisyan> But speculation and paranoia does wonders
  825. [07:36.37] <Toledo> Might be simple now
  826. [07:36.40] <~Derisyan> The thing is, there is a few big question that makes hard to know what to expect
  827. [07:36.51] <Toledo> But when we hit the meat, I think shit'll hit the fan
  828. [07:37.18] <~Derisyan> Well, Ididnt expected Batters to go full Dr Strangelove
  829. [07:37.36] <~Derisyan> I thought the treath of a Corporation War would be deterrent enough
  830. [07:37.42] <~Derisyan> That proves I'm still green
  831. [07:39.06] <Toledo> Session's still every monday, right?
  832. [07:43.38] <~Derisyan> I want to have a makeup session for the people who either couldnt make it or hanged up waiting
  833. [07:43.48] <~Derisyan> I still feel a little shitty about that
  834. [07:44.26] <~Derisyan> In other news
  835. [07:44.40] <~Derisyan> I'm planning another cyberpunk adventure
  836. [07:45.24] <Toledo> Yeh?
  837. [07:45.55] <~Derisyan> A pseudo-religious war between the FSF and the Church of Emacs
  838. [07:46.06] <~Derisyan> with special guest Richard Stallman
  839. [07:46.29] <Toledo> Sounds alright.
  840. [07:46.33] <~Derisyan> kinda tongue in cheek
  841. [07:46.54] <~Derisyan> >implying this run doesnt have silly moments
  842. [07:47.33] <~Derisyan> I already left a clue in this run
  843. [07:47.37] <~Derisyan> The RFSF
  844. [07:47.45] <~Derisyan> I have namedropped it a few times
  845. [07:48.25] <Toledo> RFSF?
  846. [07:48.38] <~Derisyan> Reclaimed Free Society Front
  847. [07:48.49] <~Derisyan> A radical splinter group of the Free Software Foundation
  848. [07:50.01] <~Derisyan> They are the top cryptohackers in all the world
  849. [07:50.21] <~Derisyan> And if the info about the Oracle goes public, yo bet they will spread the word louder than anyone
  850. [07:50.55] <Toledo> Doubt that'd be a particularly good thing.
  851. [07:52.11] <~Derisyan> You don't want Corp War
  852. [07:52.31] <~Derisyan> The Oracle is a price valuable enough to a Corp to gamble anything they have
  853. [07:52.40] <~Derisyan> just to get their hands on him
  854. [07:53.41] <Toledo> What if we were to... fail in keeping the Oracle under wraps
  855. [07:54.02] <Toledo> Would things continue on or would be just outright be rekt.
  856. [07:54.12] <~Derisyan> Olympians will be really fucked
  857. [07:54.19] <~Derisyan> and they may get revenge on you before dying themselves
  858. [07:54.35] <~Derisyan> besides
  859. [07:54.51] <~Derisyan> Getting the hands on the Oracle would pay all the loses of an open war
  860. [07:54.58] <~Derisyan> no matter how costly
  861. [07:55.22] <~Derisyan> hook a cyborg with such massive processing power to a cryptocurrency network
  862. [07:55.31] <~Derisyan> and you have a decent chance to pull of a 51% hack
  863. [07:55.38] <Toledo> Would we know what the Oracle would physically be like?
  864. [07:55.45] <~Derisyan> Yes, there is a photo
  865. [07:55.52] <Toledo> For some reason I'm imagining lugging around a giant test tube.
  866. [07:55.57] <~Derisyan> he looks like a regular 6 year old
  867. [07:56.22] <~Derisyan> terribly easy to hide
  868. [07:57.30] <Toledo> Probably just a load of datajacks on his head
  869. [07:58.46] <~Derisyan> it's a good guess
  870. [07:58.59] <~Derisyan> the picture never showed his back
  871. [07:59.18] <Toledo> Yeah
  872. [08:00.02] <Toledo> Considering they hook this kid up, he'd probably have a series of jacks upon major parts of the nervous system
  873. [08:00.11] <Toledo> Could be wrong.
  874. [08:02.06] <Toledo> Just can't help but compare the party to the mission at hand.
  875. [08:03.09] <Toledo> Shaggy misfits and a kid that can process outcomes at a 90% success rate
  876. [08:03.17] <Toledo> Oh boy.
  877. [08:04.01] <Toledo> Also, armaments.
  878. [08:04.18] <Toledo> Assuming we're all equipped with caseless munitions?
  879. [08:04.37] <Toledo> I think you said that we are, I just can't remember.
