- [05:08.19] <blumenkranz> They must be the best Consulting firm in the world.
- [05:08.21] <blumenkranz> PLOT
- [05:08.30] <blumenkranz> Not Natalya's boobs of course.
- [05:08.33] <blumenkranz> That's a small plot.
- [05:08.34] <~Derisyan> They certainly brag about it
- [05:08.43] <Toledo> What's there to be sorry about anyway
- [05:09.12] <~Derisyan> If you remember the whole obsession with greek naming
- [05:09.20] <~Derisyan> You would see why they picked the name "Palas"
- [05:10.14] <~Derisyan> It's spelled "Pallas" btw
- [05:10.31] <blumenkranz> God of Wisdom.
- [05:10.34] <blumenkranz> Huh.
- [05:10.38] <~Derisyan> for a consulting firm
- [05:11.02] <~Derisyan> They claim an outrageous 99.999999% succcess rate
- [05:11.28] <blumenkranz> >Voluptas is the goddess of pleasure
- [05:11.30] <blumenkranz> Huehuehuehue
- [05:11.37] <~Derisyan> Well, they make VR
- [05:11.48] <~Derisyan> Also: Look for the name of her mother
- [05:12.00] <blumenkranz> Psique.

- [05:12.23] <blumenkranz> We GitS nao?
- [05:12.35] <~Derisyan> It has only begun
- [05:13.04] <Toledo> <insert rabbit hole deepness here>
- [05:13.20] <blumenkranz> This is like several /pol/ rabbit holes deep.
- [05:13.22] <~Derisyan> also, who feels like giving a short summary to Toledo?
- [05:13.30] <~Derisyan> about recent happenings
- [05:13.38] <Toledo> Can if you want, I'm not gonna push
- [05:13.51] <blumenkranz> What do you know, Toledo?
- [05:13.54] <blumenkranz> WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
- [05:13.54] <~Derisyan> It's a good memory excercise
- [05:14.01] <~Derisyan> That's why I suggested it
- [05:14.06] <Toledo> Well
- [05:14.08] <~Derisyan> You tell tales and remember things
- [05:14.10] <Toledo> Aside from the cum dodge
- [05:14.15] <Toledo> And setting up characters
- [05:14.17] <~Derisyan> And plot got quite thick today
- [05:14.19] <Toledo> Nothin' .
- [05:14.24] <blumenkranz> Hmmm...
- [05:14.33] <blumenkranz> Let's start from the very beginning.
- [05:14.35] <Toledo> I read the greentexts but I can't remember
- [05:14.39] <Toledo> + board nook
- [05:15.05] <~Derisyan> just the important details
- [05:15.14] <blumenkranz> First session involved Natalya being tasked to plant a bomb in a police station near a building in construction.
- [05:15.18] <~Derisyan> and the big pile of happening you are sitting upon
- [05:15.33] <Toledo> So I guess that bomb opened the way for bl0w, Yokai and the crew?
- [05:15.42] <blumenkranz> tl;dr drokk didn't go as expected and we ended up getting chased by two police choppers
- [05:15.51] <~Derisyan> Alright, Ill tell you what happened
- [05:15.57] <Toledo> Damnit, that sounds like fun
- [05:15.59] <blumenkranz> Well, it was a very heavy bomb, so I asked them to carry it.
- [05:16.05] <blumenkranz> It was.
- [05:16.05] <Toledo> Screw timezones and my late arrivals.
- [05:16.06] <~Derisyan> y0k gave an armed bomb to a psycho squad expert
- [05:16.13] <~Derisyan> that defused it
- [05:16.22] <~Derisyan> And gave her an excuse to call for a pursuit
- [05:16.27] <~Derisyan> because, bomb
- [05:16.33] <blumenkranz> >an excuse
- [05:16.37] <blumenkranz> I don't like how you worded that.
- [05:16.45] <~Derisyan> I do like it tho :3
- [05:17.02] <~Derisyan> anyway, continue
- [05:17.56] <~Derisyan> also
- [05:18.02] <~Derisyan> google obayashi and space elevator :3
- [05:18.37] <blumenkranz> >2050
- [05:18.43] <Toledo> Yeah, knew about that
- [05:18.46] <Toledo> Neat.
- [05:18.52] <~Derisyan> they got a little nudge from me, I confes
- [05:18.55] <Battersea> btw, every novel I've read that prominently features a space elevator has it blown up at some point
- [05:19.07] <~Derisyan> yeah but this is one doesnt have it that prominent
- [05:19.08] <Battersea> Well, that's only about three books, but anyway
- [05:19.10] <~Derisyan> so it might be saved
- [05:19.19] <Toledo> When I recall space-elevators, I keep thinking of that one mission in Halo ODST.
- [05:19.25] <Toledo> The... collapse.
- [05:19.31] <~Derisyan> spoiler: The space elevator features in my Stallman run I'm writing atm
- [05:19.37] <blumenkranz> YES.
- [05:19.48] <~Derisyan> Once it's ready I'll Gm it, but I'm still doing research
- [05:20.18] <Toledo> So is the party full up still or am I just forgetful
- [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.
- [05:20.32] <blumenkranz> Because FREEDOM counters humanity loss.
- [05:20.43] <~Derisyan> The party is a little lacking
- [05:20.54] <~Derisyan> We got a fixer, who handles contacts and info
- [05:21.00] <~Derisyan> We got a doctor who patches people
- [05:21.07] <~Derisyan> We got a solo, who fucks shit up
- [05:21.22] <~Derisyan> If you ask me, having a social guy would help
- [05:21.25] <Toledo> I have some investigative skills and a bitchin level in Handguns.
- [05:21.33] <Toledo> You know that though
- [05:21.35] <~Derisyan> investigative is good
- [05:21.42] <Toledo> Plus level 7 Authority
- [05:21.45] <Toledo> I think
- [05:21.45] <~Derisyan> There is som drokk I hid real deep
- [05:21.49] <~Derisyan> Oh boy
- [05:21.59] <~Derisyan> >Authority 7 on a city under martial law
- [05:22.03] <~Derisyan> we judge dredd now
- [05:22.14] <Toledo> But you remember him right
- [05:22.23] <blumenkranz> A Judge Dredd campaign would be fucking awesome.
- [05:22.38] <Toledo> He's ex-cop for some cloak and dagger shit he tried to uncover
- [05:22.38] <~Derisyan> It needs to be further down the timeline
- [05:22.42] <~Derisyan> 2080s I think
- [05:22.57] <~Derisyan> maybe even 22nd century
- [05:23.03] <blumenkranz> Oh damn. D:
- [05:23.16] <~Derisyan> I need mutants to run a Dredd game, mang
- [05:23.31] <blumenkranz> We Fallout now, too?
- [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
- [05:24.25] <~Derisyan> If World War IV, maybe
- [05:24.34] <Toledo> Ok, got interrogation 5
- [05:24.42] <Toledo> Interview at the same
- [05:24.51] <Battersea> Later we woke up shackled in a room listening to Nujabes
- [05:28.38] <blumenkranz> Then Mr. Jovi, the CEO of Palas, came in.
- [05:28.40] <blumenkranz> Wait.
- [05:28.51] <blumenkranz> What the fuck was the CEO of Palas doing inside the Spartan Tech building?
- [05:30.04] <~Derisyan> It only took you 3 weeks to notice that :3
- [05:30.34] <blumenkranz> :DDDDDDDDD
- [05:30.43] <blumenkranz> I mean, they are buddy-buddy, but...
- [05:31.33] <blumenkranz> Dr. Jovi was working there.
- [05:31.40] <blumenkranz> What the fuck does this mean.
- [05:32.02] <~Derisyan> also
- [05:32.19] <~Derisyan> >all the terminals are from HM networks
- [05:32.44] <blumenkranz> Is it _confirmed_ we were in Spartan Tech?
- [05:33.21] <~Derisyan> You were on a office floor at the very top of the Olympus complex
- [05:33.25] <~Derisyan> that's the only certain thing
- [05:33.51] <blumenkranz> Hmm, so we were in Olympus...
- [05:34.28] <Battersea> ...which houses all of those greek bastards
- [05:34.39] <~Derisyan> exactly
- [05:34.42] <blumenkranz> Which houses...
- [05:34.44] <blumenkranz> Delphineas.
- [05:35.51] <blumenkranz> The building is inaccessible, though.
- [05:35.54] <~Derisyan> Delphi Oracle, a trip to wikipedia will net you some clues
- [05:37.26] <blumenkranz> It was an inside job.
- [05:37.43] <~Derisyan> :3
- [05:38.41] <~Derisyan> also, look from who the Oracle got the powers
- [05:38.43] <blumenkranz> Only someone who already had access to the penthouse could have been able to access the building.
- [05:39.21] <Battersea> >inb4 it's mr. Jovi
- [05:39.46] <blumenkranz> No, but you could be right in the money if you changed that title.
- [05:39.58] <Battersea> Mrs. D:
- [05:40.06] <Battersea> fug
- [05:40.13] <blumenkranz> Almost.
- [05:40.14] <~Derisyan> Battersea, remember the chromosome thing I mentioned?
- [05:40.20] <Battersea> Yeah
- [05:40.22] <blumenkranz> Let's say she studied.
- [05:40.28] <~Derisyan> care to share?
- [05:40.57] <Battersea> The clones were of a male, but were engineered to be female
- [05:41.08] <~Derisyan> the other way around
- [05:41.15] <Battersea> Oh, well, anyway
- [05:41.26] <~Derisyan> No one knows where the fuck the Y chromosome came from
- [05:41.27] <blumenkranz> Ms. Bishop.
- [05:41.56] <~Derisyan> who is very very sick
- [05:42.02] <Battersea> I was already thinking mr. Jovi cloned himself but as a girl for a waifu
- [05:42.14] <blumenkranz> Why is she sick?
- [05:42.26] <~Derisyan> why indeed
- [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)
- [05:43.18] <~Derisyan> Neuromancer too
- [05:43.29] <~Derisyan> But cloning is still babby tier at this point -no pun intended
- [05:43.40] <~Derisyan> fails more often than succeeds
- [05:44.03] <blumenkranz> Apollo?
- [05:44.10] <~Derisyan> and his other name?
- [05:44.12] <blumenkranz> Did Apollo give powers to Delphi?
- [05:44.46] <blumenkranz> Helios.
- [05:44.50] <blumenkranz> Fug.
- [05:44.51] <~Derisyan> :D
- [05:44.53] <blumenkranz> FUG.
- [05:44.58] <blumenkranz> Fugfugfugfugfug.
- [05:45.25] <Toledo> Fuck pills, we goin' hella deep son
- [05:45.45] <~Derisyan> Also, blumenkranz character took some hard drugs
- [05:45.55] <blumenkranz> Yes. Now I am tripping balls.
- [05:46.10] <~Derisyan> It gave her godly empathy powers at a high price
- [05:46.29] <Toledo> Lovely
- [05:46.33] <~Derisyan> Now the high is over, and she sees danger everywhere
- [05:46.54] <blumenkranz> You telling me this is also a vital part of the plot?
- [05:46.54] <Toledo> y0k's still borderline cyber-psychotic, right?
- [05:47.08] <blumenkranz> Not anymore, but he is still cuhrayzee.
- [05:47.17] <~Derisyan> less borderline, they gave him hypno therapy to calm his tits a little
- [05:47.29] <~Derisyan> got a couple points of EMP back I think
- [05:47.46] <blumenkranz> +2 IIRC
- [05:47.53] <~Derisyan> Everything directly related to the Oracle of Delphi is vital
- [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.
- [05:49.23] <Toledo> wisdom-domb
- [05:49.25] <Toledo> bomb*
- [05:49.28] <~Derisyan> nah, you didnt get extra awarness
- [05:49.30] <~Derisyan> just empathy
- [05:49.38] <~Derisyan> Im bad at metaphors anyway
- [05:49.47] <~Derisyan> I would rather put a gorillion interconnected references
- [05:49.55] <Toledo> So you're jumpy as all heck yet you're the most pleasant person on the planet.
- [05:50.05] <~Derisyan> nope
- [05:50.17] <~Derisyan> Once the pleasant effect ends, the anxiety hits
- [05:50.28] <~Derisyan> sort of like withdrawal
- [05:50.35] <Toledo> Ah, ok
- [05:50.41] <blumenkranz> Natalya did manage to be the most empathic person on Earth before that, though.
- [05:50.45] <blumenkranz> It's a hell of a drug.
- [05:51.04] <~Derisyan> Can you imainge how it feels be on the Mr Bones Wild Ride
- [05:51.09] <blumenkranz> Pls no.
- [05:51.11] <Toledo> dat serotonin mang
- [05:51.27] <~Derisyan> y0k has a random sampling of your drugs
- [05:51.30] <~Derisyan> just saying
- [05:51.34] <Toledo> Oh shit.
- [05:51.37] <blumenkranz> Hope he doesn't go nuts.
- [05:51.45] <blumenkranz> Although he already did.
- [05:51.52] <~Derisyan> y0k doesnt know about Mr Bones Wild Ride
- [05:51.54] <~Derisyan> right?
- [05:51.59] <blumenkranz> Nope.
- [05:52.07] <blumenkranz> I made him believe I would never do such a thing.
- [05:52.12] <blumenkranz> :^)
- [05:52.17] <Toledo> Who's got the highest cool?
- [05:52.22] <Battersea> I have 9
- [05:52.25] <~Derisyan> batter I think
- [05:52.31] <blumenkranz> Coolest person in this party.
- [05:52.31] <~Derisyan> Gotta be cool to survive the streets
- [05:52.32] <Toledo> Just one below
- [05:52.44] <~Derisyan> >cop and fixer are the coolest dudes
- [05:53.03] <~Derisyan> This is like a lot of 90s movies
- [05:53.11] <blumenkranz> Ah Der.
- [05:53.13] <Toledo> 12mm handcannon; you gotta be cool with that thing
- [05:53.20] <Toledo> Blow yer goddamn hand off
- [05:53.22] <blumenkranz> Did Natalya calm her nipples after cumming with that cake?
- [05:53.42] <Toledo> wat
- [05:53.46] <blumenkranz> Eh.
- [05:53.49] <blumenkranz> It's hard to explain.
- [05:54.13] <blumenkranz> Let's just say she loves cake.
- [05:54.47] <~Derisyan> >we matrix reloaded now
- [05:54.47] <Toledo> Probably the most plain character here
- [05:54.57] <~Derisyan> who?
- [05:55.00] <Toledo> My guy
- [05:55.08] <~Derisyan> nah, everybody started flat
- [05:55.12] <~Derisyan> then shenaningans happen
- [05:55.18] <~Derisyan> And it shaped personalities
- [05:55.23] <Battersea> We went to a maid cafe today :3
- [05:55.24] <~Derisyan> amirite
- [05:55.32] <blumenkranz> Battersea and Natalya happen to be weaboos.
- [05:55.46] <blumenkranz> Possibly Yok too, but chances are he won't ever admit it.
- [05:55.47] <~Derisyan> >russian weaboo
- [05:55.50] <Toledo> I know y0k's edgelord supreme

- [05:58.15] <Toledo> I found bl0ws drawings in the archive
- [05:58.23] <~Derisyan> it always happens that way
- [05:58.36] <~Derisyan> You can plan your character, but you need to give a breath of life of sorts
- [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
- [05:59.26] <Toledo> I got a little too eager
- [05:59.35] <~Derisyan> You'll do fine
- [05:59.43] <~Derisyan> eagerness is good
- [06:00.14] <blumenkranz> Wait.
- [06:00.22] <blumenkranz> Is Olympus a floating bulding?
- [06:00.43] <~Derisyan> nope, it's supported by nanocarbon columns
- [06:01.03] <blumenkranz> That's all I needed to know. :^)
- [06:01.07] <~Derisyan> it's a 200 meter drop though, and that if you aim for the higher buildings
- [06:01.45] <blumenkranz> It's absolutely impossible to access Olympus.
- [06:02.00] <blumenkranz> Without the required credentials, that is. :^)
- [06:02.08] <Toledo> *ahem*
- [06:02.17] <Toledo> Authority 7
- [06:02.29] <Toledo> Actually come to think of it.
- [06:02.37] <Toledo> Yeah, nope.
- [06:02.46] <blumenkranz> Why did we all put 7 in out jobs?
- [06:02.52] <Battersea> I have 8!
- [06:02.55] <~Derisyan> brouzouf
- [06:02.58] <blumenkranz> DUNDUNDUNNNN
- [06:03.05] <~Derisyan> the more points in job, the more brouzouf
- [06:03.07] <Toledo> Cause I like the title of investigator
- [06:03.09] <blumenkranz> You gain Brouzouf.
- [06:03.12] <Toledo> And brouzouf...
- [06:03.21] <~Derisyan> first comes the brouzouf
- [06:03.26] <~Derisyan> then comes the holo-waifus
- [06:03.40] <blumenkranz> Did the geek run out of the cafe?
- [06:03.40] <Toledo> Step 1: Gain brouzouf
- [06:03.45] <Toledo> Step 2: Check legs
- [06:04.09] <~Derisyan> he dropped his spagetthi
- [06:04.14] <~Derisyan> fucking maidStop
- [06:04.20] <blumenkranz> Shouldn't have orgasmed so hard.
- [06:06.20] <~Derisyan> anyway, care to tell what happened after Mr Jove arrived?
- [06:06.24] <blumenkranz> Oh, yes.
- [06:06.30] <blumenkranz> First, I tried to seduce him.
- [06:06.32] <blumenkranz> I failed.
- [06:06.39] <blumenkranz> I told him that he was an eunuch.
- [06:06.43] <blumenkranz> I got electroshocked.
- [06:06.46] <blumenkranz> Stun.
- [06:06.57] <blumenkranz> Then Yokai started to LIVE ON THE EDGE
- [06:07.11] <blumenkranz> Laughed in the corp's face several times.
- [06:07.18] <blumenkranz> He finally got half of his face blown off.
- [06:07.21] <blumenkranz> Somehow he survived.
- [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.
- [06:08.21] <blumenkranz> He was the heir of Pallas Consulting. Or so he said.
- [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.
- [06:08.55] <blumenkranz> Battersea got out of there first, but Yok and Nat decided to get some more implants.
- [06:09.12] <blumenkranz> First first session or second session?
- [06:09.17] <~Derisyan> second
- [06:09.18] <blumenkranz> I joined during second session.
- [06:09.21] <blumenkranz> Fugg.
- [06:09.34] <~Derisyan> it was a real longshot though
- [06:09.39] <blumenkranz> The police cars didn't come for us.
- [06:10.12] <blumenkranz> That's why I had to blow up the bomb at o'clock.
- [06:11.08] <blumenkranz> If we had stayed, we would have seen him.
- [06:11.18] <~Derisyan> not necessarly
- [06:11.22] <~Derisyan> right place and right time
- [06:11.44] <blumenkranz> Empty building at o'clock, right?
- [06:11.44] <~Derisyan> you are missing a piece of the puzzle, blumen
- [06:11.52] <~Derisyan> but carry on
- [06:12.08] <blumenkranz> This is 2deep4me.
- [06:12.24] <~Derisyan> nah, it's only a bunch of liars hiding stuff
- [06:12.45] <blumenkranz> So, pretty much everything Jovi told us was bullshit.
- [06:12.53] <~Derisyan> corps gonna corp
- [06:12.54] <blumenkranz> But why would have he lied to us?
- [06:13.04] <blumenkranz> >corps gonna corp
- [06:13.09] <~Derisyan> steganography
- [06:13.22] <~Derisyan> He doesnt wanted you to know
- [06:13.30] <blumenkranz> Donurado-kun, are you trying to trick me again?
- [06:13.43] <~Derisyan> Because he wants someone to think you know something you dont know
- [06:13.56] <~Derisyan> But if someone thinks you know, and you act like you dont know (because you dont know)
- [06:14.02] <~Derisyan> you fuck with the Oracle predictions
- [06:14.15] <~Derisyan> accurate data gives accurate results
- [06:14.22] <~Derisyan> inaccurate data, etc, etc
- [06:14.27] <Battersea> fug
- [06:14.34] <blumenkranz> What did you see, Battersea?
- [06:14.46] <~Derisyan> ignorance was on your favor
- [06:14.52] <~Derisyan> the more you know, the more predictable you are
- [06:15.05] <blumenkranz> Randomness is our ally.
- [06:15.32] <Battersea> >tfw we'll get outplayed by ourselves when trying to find the kid
- [06:16.13] <~Derisyan> >my face right now: ++http://img.blogs.es/1001experiencias/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/spaceymal2.jpg,,
- [06:16.34] <blumenkranz> I'm getting 403.
- [06:16.39] <blumenkranz> Can you upload it to imgur?
- [06:16.58] <~Derisyan> how bout this
- [06:16.58] <~Derisyan> ++http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0S6EWkIUl8E/UJPSQZ8KPmI/AAAAAAAADj8/e8RkJrQ-Op8/s1600/tumblr_mc6xxhXkR01qjbkzwo1_1280.png,,
- [06:17.23] <blumenkranz> This one does.
- [06:17.31] <blumenkranz> What does he have between his hands?
- [06:17.42] <~Derisyan> A bunch of fags
- [06:17.51] <blumenkranz> Wait, is that Tarantino?
- [06:17.57] <~Derisyan> Spacey
- [06:18.06] <~Derisyan> good movie, I recommend it
- [06:18.17] <Battersea> The Usual Suspects?
- [06:18.20] <~Derisyan> yup
- [06:18.24] <blumenkranz> I thought you wanted to kill us in a gruesome way.
- [06:18.42] <~Derisyan> Wel, I rp the people who may turn out killing you
- [06:18.51] <blumenkranz> True that.
- [06:18.53] <~Derisyan> probably in a gruesome way
- [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
- [06:20.37] <blumenkranz> We don't need to outsmart him.
- [06:20.41] <blumenkranz> We need to outdumb him.
- [06:20.45] <Battersea> Heh
- [06:20.46] <~Derisyan> that works too
- [06:20.55] <Battersea> >mfw I die ++http://i.imgur.com/GJJRcP9.jpg,,
- [06:21.20] <~Derisyan> Seriously, imagine how would the other corps react if the existence of the Oracle gets leaked
- [06:21.35] <Toledo> PANIC
- [06:21.47] <~Derisyan> It would be worth risking ANYTHING to get their hands on him
- [06:21.49] <blumenkranz> Der, did you have a certain Futurama episode's plot in mind when designing RAD-48?
- [06:21.57] <~Derisyan> not in specific
- [06:22.02] <~Derisyan> I took a bit from here and there
- [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
- [06:22.32] <Battersea> I just hope it'll work
- [06:22.32] <blumenkranz> Because it would actually make a lot of sense making us walking paradoxes.
- [06:22.50] <~Derisyan> besides is a pretty cool move in the gran scheme of things
- [06:22.52] <blumenkranz> We became our own grandfathers, we don't send out any brain waves to the outside.
- [06:23.02] <blumenkranz> We're immune to the giant brains.
- [06:23.06] <~Derisyan> No one on their right mind would provoke a World War out of spite
- [06:23.07] <~Derisyan> right?
- [06:23.21] <Battersea> >implying I'm in my right mind
- [06:23.23] <~Derisyan> T-the Oracle can forsee it... right?
- [06:23.46] <blumenkranz> >Implying Battersea isn't PLOT PROTECTED now
- [06:24.10] <Toledo> Plot armoured. Heh.
- [06:24.21] <Battersea> >implying I won't leak it anyway just to see what'll happen
- [06:24.31] <blumenkranz> He got his ESSENTIAL flag turned up.
- [06:24.32] <~Derisyan> If you leak it, you cripple the Oracle's predicitions
- [06:24.47] <~Derisyan> Because the Oracle hasn't forseen such a suicidal move
- [06:25.10] <~Derisyan> And without the crucial data about the leak, it may as well be blind for several months
- [06:25.12] <blumenkranz> >Not DDoSing the Oracle's mind so we can attack while he isn't aware
- [06:25.34] <~Derisyan> >DDoSing a mind that can run realities at sanic speed
- [06:25.43] <~Derisyan> At most you would lag him to real-time
- [06:25.56] <blumenkranz> Well, actually it would be more like setting up a paradox machine.
- [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
- [06:26.07] <~Derisyan> I think I see your plan
- [06:26.08] <blumenkranz> Can't compute, it breaks.
- [06:26.21] <~Derisyan> That's the beauty of the thing
- [06:26.29] <blumenkranz> A small question about RAD-48.
- [06:26.35] <~Derisyan> shoot
- [06:26.41] <blumenkranz> It's cuhrayzee, but...
- [06:26.49] <blumenkranz> Are WE the RAD-48?
- [06:26.58] <Toledo> What's RAD-48...
- [06:27.01] <Toledo> What's anything.
- [06:27.02] <~Derisyan> No
- [06:27.08] <blumenkranz> A device we have in the back of our head.
- [06:27.15] <~Derisyan> RAD-48 is something Natalya found on a file with her name
- [06:27.17] <Toledo> All of us?
- [06:27.31] <~Derisyan> The ones who got the ticking bomb on their necks
- [06:27.35] <blumenkranz> So, even if we lose the RAD-48, we still can control our characters, right?
- [06:27.45] <~Derisyan> yes, I dont see why not
- [06:27.50] <blumenkranz> Ah, cool.
- [06:28.03] <blumenkranz> I thought you were going to set up a metaplot where the RAD-48 was actually player input.
- [06:28.04] <~Derisyan> only death and cyberpsychosis would force me to take away your characters
- [06:28.14] <~Derisyan> Nah, I'm not going meta
- [06:28.17] <~Derisyan> besides
- [06:28.20] <blumenkranz> Alrighty.
- [06:28.26] <~Derisyan> You were controlling your characters BEFORE RAD-48
- [06:28.36] <blumenkranz> >Implying that wasn't completely controlled
- [06:28.38] <~Derisyan> We wont get existencial drama
- [06:28.55] <~Derisyan> other than questions about free will I guess
- [06:29.04] <~Derisyan> since we are dealing with a seer
- [06:29.17] <blumenkranz> Could we show the middle finger to destiny?
- [06:29.27] <Toledo> I second that option.
- [06:29.31] <~Derisyan> in a way, you are doing just that
- [06:29.53] <blumenkranz> Well, Battersea did.
- [06:29.58] <~Derisyan> Toledo, allow me to explain how the fuck we got an Oracle in a cyberpunk game
- [06:30.08] <~Derisyan> It's a kid with some serious neuralware
- [06:30.21] <~Derisyan> It's a monstrosity of processing hooked to his brain since almost birth
- [06:30.30] <~Derisyan> VR Neuralware
- [06:30.47] <Toledo> Since birth?
- [06:30.51] <~Derisyan> almost
- [06:31.00] <~Derisyan> Not saying more about that for the time being
- [06:31.03] <~Derisyan> Anyway
- [06:31.06] <blumenkranz> >Implying it didn't get hookep up when he was 1
- [06:31.07] <Toledo> So we don't know how old this... thing is yet.
- [06:31.14] <Toledo> Interesting.
- [06:31.18] <~Derisyan> The Oracle can process data at sanic speeds
- [06:31.38] <~Derisyan> It runs several simulated realities at once
- [06:31.48] <~Derisyan> based on the data they feed him
- [06:32.00] <~Derisyan> he then picks the reality with the most likely outcome
- [06:32.04] <~Derisyan> again, based on data
- [06:32.04] <blumenkranz> Uh.
- [06:32.10] <blumenkranz> Now that I think about it...
- [06:32.16] <~Derisyan> That's how it makes predictions
- [06:32.17] <blumenkranz> The Oracle let this happen.
- [06:32.26] <~Derisyan> head hurting yet?
- [06:32.32] <blumenkranz> It has just begun.
- [06:32.37] <Toledo> Are we a threat to the Oracle?
- [06:32.41] <Battersea> You can't stop it
- [06:32.41] <Toledo> Or just another tool?
- [06:32.49] <blumenkranz> There are
- [06:32.51] <blumenkranz> NO
- [06:32.54] <blumenkranz> BRAKES
- [06:33.17] <blumenkranz> smug_pepe.jpg
- [06:33.28] <Toledo> If we are a threat, why allow it to escape to the point where it can harm predictions?
- [06:33.50] <blumenkranz> We're commanded to rescue the Oracle.
- [06:34.00] <blumenkranz> But maybe he doesn't want to get rescued.
- [06:34.08] <blumenkranz> Wait.
- [06:34.09] <Toledo> Commanded. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT
- [06:34.12] <blumenkranz> Let's demonstrate it.
- [06:34.32] <blumenkranz> The Oracle let this happen, for he would have known someone inside Olympus wanted to get him.
- [06:34.48] <blumenkranz> He decided not to tell anyone about it.
- [06:34.56] <blumenkranz> He does have some free will, to a certain point.
- [06:35.22] <blumenkranz> Why did they hire some nobodies instead of Talos cyborgs?
- [06:35.28] <blumenkranz> Because it increases enthropy.
- [06:35.47] <blumenkranz> Why do we have the RAD attached to our heads?
- [06:35.55] <blumenkranz> Because it makes it more difficult to him to read our minds.
- [06:36.03] <blumenkranz> If he can choose to not say something...
- [06:36.05] <~Derisyan> ++http://thewannabescientist.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/entropy_by_storm_of_the_east-d49i9ug.png,,
- [06:36.16] <blumenkranz> That means he doesn't want us to come close to him.
- [06:36.26] <blumenkranz> Or else, he would tell nobody.
- [06:36.55] <blumenkranz> We're a threat to him, right now.
- [06:37.20] <blumenkranz> That's why Palas took its time to make us as unpredictable as possible.
- [06:37.21] <Toledo> Can't even begin to decipher this ordeal since I'm just new to this.
- [06:37.33] <~Derisyan> dont worry
- [06:37.38] <~Derisyan> most of the info just surfaced today
- [06:37.39] <blumenkranz> tl;dr we're weaponized random
- [06:38.12] <~Derisyan> blumenkranz and battersea are not exactly better than you by a wide margin
- [06:38.35] <~Derisyan> cold hard facts:
- [06:38.45] <~Derisyan> Mr. Jove ordered you to rescue The Oracle
- [06:38.57] <~Derisyan> The Oracle is linked to the Jove family somehow
- [06:39.08] <~Derisyan> The Oracle may or may not have forseen this.
- [06:39.28] <blumenkranz> Oh god.
- [06:39.32] <~Derisyan> everything else is speculation with varying degrees of veracity
- [06:39.32] <blumenkranz> Lydia didn't hate the kid.
- [06:39.43] <Toledo> L-Lydia?
- [06:39.51] <blumenkranz> Mr. Jovi's daughter.
- [06:39.56] <~Derisyan> yeah
- [06:40.04] <blumenkranz> At first I thought she hated the kid.
- [06:40.07] <blumenkranz> She hates her father.
- [06:40.41] <~Derisyan> consider who Dio Jovi references
- [06:40.49] <~Derisyan> I would hate Zeus if he were my dad too
- [06:41.14] <blumenkranz> When did he say that?
- [06:41.36] <~Derisyan> He said his full name: Dio Jovi.
- [06:42.00] <~Derisyan> "I am Dio Jovi, head of Pallas"
- [06:42.08] <blumenkranz> I-I don't get it.
- [06:42.22] <~Derisyan> Athena was born form Zeus head
- [06:42.55] <~Derisyan> anyway
- [06:42.58] <blumenkranz> I think I just crit. failed.
- [06:43.00] <~Derisyan> Let's go back to the facts
- [06:43.23] <~Derisyan> Lydia, the daugther of Jove, spoke with Natalya
- [06:43.33] <~Derisyan> She certainly doesn't think highly of her father
- [06:43.43] <~Derisyan> And she left the building in a rush
- [06:43.50] <blumenkranz> HOLD IT.
- [06:43.54] <blumenkranz> When did she do that?
- [06:44.02] <blumenkranz> I can't remember what made her burst.
- [06:44.03] <~Derisyan> Don't you remember?
- [06:44.17] <~Derisyan> you triggered her :V
- [06:44.27] <~Derisyan> You said "heir"
- [06:44.29] <blumenkranz> I remember her bursting, but I don't remember what I said to trigger her. D:
- [06:44.33] <blumenkranz> Hmmm...
- [06:45.01] <blumenkranz> SPECULATION TIME.
- [06:45.12] <blumenkranz> She knows something we don't.
- [06:45.19] <~Derisyan> yes
- [06:45.24] <~Derisyan> now she does
- [06:45.32] <blumenkranz> But she knew something else.
- [06:45.45] <Toledo> Now I feel like I shoulda put more points into interrogation.
- [06:45.45] <blumenkranz> Something else that, in conjuction with that, triggered her.
- [06:45.51] <blumenkranz> She solved the puzzle.
- [06:46.05] <blumenkranz> Didn't she?
- [06:46.18] <~Derisyan> :3
- [06:46.29] <blumenkranz> At first I thought she was jealous.
- [06:46.37] <blumenkranz> But my SPECULATION MODE tells me otherwise.
- [06:46.49] <blumenkranz> She hates her father, but...
- [06:46.52] <blumenkranz> She loves her mother.
- [06:47.27] <blumenkranz> Mrs. Bishop might not be sick after all.
- [06:47.57] <blumenkranz> It is possible Lydia and Juno cooperated to get the kid out of there.
- [06:48.18] <blumenkranz> The painting, could have it been a gift from her mother?
- [06:49.28] <blumenkranz> Juno is with her kid/clone. They have escaped Olympus.
- [06:49.49] <blumenkranz> >Juno, goddess of maternity
- [06:49.54] <blumenkranz> Oh, you clever bastard.
- [06:50.35] <blumenkranz> Oooh, wait.
- [06:50.40] <blumenkranz> She was married to Jupiter.
- [06:50.47] <blumenkranz> Also known as...
- [06:50.49] <blumenkranz> Jove.
- [06:50.53] <~Derisyan> The painting is a Buckley joke, nothing less
- [06:50.59] <~Derisyan> So you can safely skip that
- [06:51.05] <blumenkranz> Who happens to be Zeus.
- [06:51.13] <blumenkranz> Oh. ;_M
- [06:51.50] <~Derisyan> it was rigged because anything in that office that is worth more than 50 bb is rigged
- [06:51.50] <blumenkranz> Well, with the painting I mean what was written on it.
- [06:52.04] <~Derisyan> oh that
- [06:52.12] <blumenkranz> Her mother sent her the painting.
- [06:52.13] <~Derisyan> Very small clue, but clue nonetheless
- [06:52.19] <blumenkranz> Because steganography.
- [06:54.08] <~Derisyan> Everything else is right on the money
- [06:54.23] <~Derisyan> incomplete, but right
- [06:54.56] <blumenkranz> Lydia in this story might be Athenea, like you suggested.
- [06:55.09] <blumenkranz> She is a doctor after all.
- [06:55.17] <blumenkranz> She inherited her father's intelligence.
- [06:55.34] <~Derisyan> Just remember how Athena got the name "Pallas"
- [06:55.49] <blumenkranz> Goddess of war?
- [06:55.54] <blumenkranz> Not even Ares can with her?
- [06:56.07] <blumenkranz> Mind == blown
- [06:56.10] <Toledo> Athena and doctor don't really match.
- [06:56.17] <~Derisyan> They don't
- [06:56.26] <~Derisyan> Lydia is not Athena
- [06:56.28] <Toledo> She's the goddess of law, justice and war.
- [06:56.31] <blumenkranz> Well, she is the goddess of knowledge.
- [06:56.34] <~Derisyan> But remember how Athena got the name Pallas
- [06:57.15] <~Derisyan> There IS a goddess called Lydia
- [06:57.20] <blumenkranz> According to Wikipedia...
- [06:57.34] <blumenkranz> She got that name after killing her father, who tried to rape her.
- [06:57.41] <~Derisyan> just sayan
- [06:57.47] <Toledo> Knowledge wouldn't necessarilly mean healing, knowledge is subjective
- [06:57.53] <~Derisyan> And Jove owns Pallas
- [06:57.59] <~Derisyan> again, just sayan
- [06:58.14] <blumenkranz> Well, I am not sure what is she a doctor of.
- [06:58.26] <blumenkranz> She has a STEM, but no idea which one.
- [06:58.44] <Toledo> STEM eh
- [06:58.53] <Toledo> Could be biology?
- [06:59.17] <blumenkranz> All I know is I get the same magazine than her.
- [06:59.22] <blumenkranz> *as
- [06:59.31] <~Derisyan> Well, anybody who works in a hospital gets it
- [06:59.33] <blumenkranz> And I am an expert on pharmaceutics.
- [06:59.39] <blumenkranz> Fugg.
- [06:59.41] <~Derisyan> or a lab
- [06:59.50] <Toledo> There's our answer
- [07:01.54] <blumenkranz> So...
- [07:01.56] <blumenkranz> Pallas Athena.
- [07:02.13] <~Derisyan> Well, it's Pallas Consulting
- [07:02.17] <~Derisyan> Not Pallas Athena Consulting
- [07:02.32] <blumenkranz> Athena is kill?
- [07:02.53] <~Derisyan> I will only say
- [07:02.58] <~Derisyan> that Lydia is not Athena
- [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?
- [07:03.53] <blumenkranz> Because Wikipedia points out more than one meaning.
- [07:04.50] <~Derisyan> Im using other
- [07:05.04] <blumenkranz> Hmm...
- [07:06.20] <blumenkranz> Friend of Athena?
- [07:07.14] <blumenkranz> Who got killed by her and stole her name?
- [07:07.30] <blumenkranz> So, we might as well be talking about Athenas Consulting?
- [07:08.18] <blumenkranz> By the way, how will our characters react when they realize the meaning of names are relevant to the mystery?
- [07:08.32] * DerisyanGM (~rp@Rizon-E3ED7BAA.pcs.intercable.net) has joined channel #nightcity
- [07:08.34] <blumenkranz> Natalya will probably get some kind of mental breakdown.
- [07:08.37] <blumenkranz> Welcome back.
- [07:08.40] <DerisyanGM> what did I miss?
- [07:08.45] <blumenkranz> What was the last bit you read?
- [07:09.08] <DerisyanGM> <Derisyan> Im using other
- [07:09.09] <DerisyanGM> <blumenkranz> Hmm...
- [07:09.21] <blumenkranz> lumenkranz | Friend of Athena?
- [07:09.27] <blumenkranz> blumenkranz | Who got killed by her and stole her name?
- [07:09.32] <blumenkranz> blumenkranz | So, we might as well be talking about Athenas Consulting?
- [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?
- [07:09.39] <blumenkranz> Then you joined.
- [07:09.43] * Derisyan (~rp@Rizon-E3ED7BAA.pcs.intercable.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
- [07:09.44] <DerisyanGM> i see
- [07:10.05] <DerisyanGM> knowing the greek references is a bonus
- [07:10.18] <DerisyanGM> The plot can be unveiled without them
- [07:10.33] <DerisyanGM> But as with bonus, knowing it, helps you get some stuff earlier
- [07:10.57] <blumenkranz> >Implying Natalya will not realize she is a character in a game when all names happen to make sense
- [07:10.59] * DerisyanGM is now known as Derisyan
- [07:11.09] * ChanServ sets mode +qo Derisyan Derisyan for #nightcity
- [07:11.55] <blumenkranz> Unless you explain it with some kind of retroactive Oracling.
- [07:12.03] <blumenkranz> Then she will get a mental breakdown anyway.
- [07:12.12] <~Derisyan> It's just a naming theme
- [07:12.24] <~Derisyan> It's just that
- [07:12.31] <~Derisyan> myths have a way to repeat themselves I think
- [07:12.55] <~Derisyan> But once they started naming everything with greek names, they got screwed I guess
- [07:13.12] <blumenkranz> You mean it's the gods at work again?
- [07:13.25] <~Derisyan> But at least they have the caution to not name anything "Icarus" or "Prometheus"
- [07:13.29] <~Derisyan> that's just asking for trouble
- [07:13.36] <Toledo> They'd be careful regardless.
- [07:13.45] <Toledo> Greek fables and heroes always have a tragic ending.
- [07:14.15] <~Derisyan> If you ask me, it was my way to represent how cyberpunk corps are powerful as the Gods of Myth
- [07:14.16] <blumenkranz> >Implying Prometheus isn't Battersea
- [07:14.25] <Toledo> Either to teach those who fear their deities not to overstep their mortal bounds.
- [07:14.26] <~Derisyan> Well, he stole the folder of the GOds
- [07:14.37] <Toledo> Or just some grim amusement.
- [07:14.38] <blumenkranz> And is about to give it to the people. : ^)
- [07:14.41] <~Derisyan> And he plans to share it to humanity
- [07:14.44] <~Derisyan> excatly
- [07:14.54] <~Derisyan> Lets just hope his liver is tasty :D
- [07:15.32] <~Derisyan> But I repeat
- [07:15.48] <~Derisyan> no posmodernism, nothing but technology as an explanation
- [07:15.59] <~Derisyan> At least, any explanation you will get from me
- [07:16.10] <~Derisyan> The beauty of fiction is that there is more than one way to interpret it
- [07:16.23] <blumenkranz> I know, but our characters will get mindfugged once they realize it all makes metasense.
- [07:16.32] <~Derisyan> oh yes they will
- [07:16.42] <~Derisyan> But getting fucked in the head is a proud cyberpunk tradition
- [07:16.50] <blumenkranz> Will we have to roll for sanity?
- [07:16.55] <Toledo> By bullet or by plot
- [07:17.01] <blumenkranz> Both.
- [07:17.19] <~Derisyan> we Phillip K Dick now
- [07:17.24] <~Derisyan> >drug use
- [07:17.26] <blumenkranz> benis :DDDDDDD
- [07:17.27] <Toledo> Electric sheep when
- [07:17.30] <~Derisyan> >questioning realty
- [07:17.34] <~Derisyan> Well....
- [07:17.35] <Toledo> I want my real owl faggots
- [07:17.41] <~Derisyan> Do the Oracle dream?
- [07:17.50] <~Derisyan> does he dream of simulated sheep?
- [07:18.03] <blumenkranz> He dreams of infinite simulated sheeps every moment.
- [07:18.10] <blumenkranz> Oh fug.
- [07:18.16] <~Derisyan> a fractal pattern of repeating sheep
- [07:18.20] <blumenkranz> This implies that kid has a fucking universe inside his head.
- [07:18.24] <~Derisyan> with no beginning or end
- [07:18.26] <blumenkranz> We need to go deeper.
- [07:18.33] <~Derisyan> we incpetion now?
- [07:18.34] <Toledo> we akira now
- [07:18.36] <blumenkranz> >Implying we're not being simulated
- [07:18.38] <Toledo> and that too.
- [07:18.38] <~Derisyan> oh right
- [07:18.50] <~Derisyan> >how do we know we are real if the Oracle is not real?
- [07:19.03] <~Derisyan> Maybe this is all a scenario playing on the mind of the Oracle
- [07:19.07] <Toledo> stahp
- [07:19.11] <blumenkranz> Pls no. ;_;
- [07:19.31] <Toledo> WHAT IF THE ORACLE IS AN AVATAR OF SOME DIVINE PRESENCE
- [07:19.37] <Toledo> hnng
- [07:19.42] <~Derisyan> it has specific and hardcoded rules after all
- [07:19.47] <blumenkranz> Everything happens to be some kind of divine avatar.
- [07:20.00] <blumenkranz> Or does he?
- [07:20.50] <blumenkranz> Does the Oracle mean of orgasming Natalyas?
- [07:20.52] <blumenkranz> *dream
- [07:21.49] <~Derisyan> maybe the orgasm of Natalya is a dream of the Oracle
- [07:21.57] <blumenkranz> We recursive now.
- [07:22.00] <~Derisyan> maybe he can only orgasm when he dreams
- [07:22.02] <~Derisyan> *she
- [07:22.12] <Toledo> Don't you do that around cake
- [07:22.20] <Toledo> So if cakes your trigger
- [07:22.21] <~Derisyan> dreams or orgasms?
- [07:22.21] <blumenkranz> Wait.
- [07:22.31] <blumenkranz> When I got the flashback...
- [07:22.40] <Toledo> Cake comes from bakers, bakers make cakes from eggs and flour
- [07:22.46] <Toledo> Chickens.
- [07:22.47] <blumenkranz> You said "he said it as if the whole world, or at least his world, would crumble".
- [07:22.49] <Toledo> Fucking chickens.
- [07:22.50] <blumenkranz> >tho whole world
- [07:22.56] <~Derisyan> Yes you remember :3
- [07:23.04] <~Derisyan> >or at least, his world
- [07:23.20] <blumenkranz> However, he would have known.
- [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".
- [07:24.01] <Toledo> Wouldn't be true anyway
- [07:24.24] <Toledo> Something as infinite as the cosmos and beyond can't be bound to a simple entity
- [07:24.35] <blumenkranz> >Implying the kid isn't GOD
- [07:24.50] <Toledo> If so then we're incredibly out of our element.
- [07:24.51] <~Derisyan> I think Natalya is still on Sugar withdrawal
- [07:24.56] <~Derisyan> Sugar, not even once.
- [07:25.02] <blumenkranz> Yeah, I think I am overcomplicating the plot.
- [07:25.08] <Toledo> I'm a fucking cop, not a damned space-warrior.
- [07:25.13] <~Derisyan> which is nice IC
- [07:25.24] <blumenkranz> But I am OOC right now.
- [07:25.25] <~Derisyan> Because you are having an anxiety attack every 5 minutes or so
- [07:25.28] <~Derisyan> welp
- [07:25.35] <~Derisyan> lay off the sugar, buddy
- [07:25.46] <blumenkranz> SUGAR: so fucking powerful it can give a high to the player.
- [07:25.55] <~Derisyan> that's sum strong drug
- [07:26.04] <blumenkranz> Strong enough to break the fourth wall.
- [07:26.08] <Toledo> columbians btfo
- [07:26.13] <Toledo> sugar is the new in
- [07:26.15] <blumenkranz> WE META NOW
- [07:26.20] <~Derisyan> metadrugs man
- [07:26.36] <blumenkranz> So Der, does the campaign involve metaphysics?
- [07:26.40] <~Derisyan> nope
- [07:26.42] <blumenkranz> Or is it down-to-earth
- [07:26.50] <~Derisyan> at most, it's cyberpunk science
- [07:26.50] <blumenkranz> Then recursive universe theory discarded.
- [07:26.53] <Toledo> Great.
- [07:27.03] <Toledo> I really cannot be arsed with Gnosticism.
- [07:27.05] <~Derisyan> Also I told thrice already that there will be no existencial drama
- [07:27.20] <~Derisyan> No questioning reality or preception (unless you use drugs)
- [07:27.46] <blumenkranz> Sorry, I have -7 to all rolls.
- [07:27.51] <~Derisyan> The Oracle is a concept from computer science
- [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)
- [07:27.56] <~Derisyan> A Turing Oracle to be exact
- [07:28.07] <~Derisyan> A problem-solving black box
- [07:28.30] <~Derisyan> It calculates all outcomes of a problem
- [07:28.32] <blumenkranz> So, the kid is O(1)?
- [07:28.58] <~Derisyan> It's a black box, and by definition, you don't how it works. Only that it works.
- [07:29.27] <blumenkranz> According to this, Oracle Machines perform only one operation over data.
- [07:29.44] <~Derisyan> yup, that's why you only ask them one thing
- [07:29.58] <~Derisyan> The Oracle cant answer "what will happen tomorrow"
- [07:30.14] <Toledo> I see
- [07:30.16] <blumenkranz> Hmmm...
- [07:30.25] <blumenkranz> I guess the corps would have covered that possibility.
- [07:30.28] <Toledo> That's too wide a question; it deals in specifics.
- [07:30.31] <~Derisyan> But it can answer "will the blockchains be hacked tomorrow"
- [07:30.40] <~Derisyan> That's why you need a human mind
- [07:30.42] <blumenkranz> "When will something bad happen to you?"
- [07:30.49] <~Derisyan> It needs a logical base able to understand context
- [07:31.01] <Toledo> Of course
- [07:31.20] <blumenkranz> Anyway, it's getting late here.
- [07:31.24] <blumenkranz> I should go now.
- [07:31.27] <Toledo> Logic helps define and determine the solidarity of a concept
- [07:31.31] <blumenkranz> Enough CONSPIRACY THEORAN for today.
- [07:31.32] <~Derisyan> whoever needs to leave, feel free too
- [07:31.38] <~Derisyan> and rest well
- [07:31.42] <Toledo> Ease off the sugar
- [07:31.45] <blumenkranz> I will come back in a few hours.
- [07:31.49] <blumenkranz> Thanks, you too.
- [07:31.57] <blumenkranz> I cooked it, I TAKE IT.
- [07:31.57] <Toledo> I-I'll try.
- [07:32.00] <blumenkranz> FOR SUGAR.
- [07:32.11] <blumenkranz> See you tomorrow m8s.
- [07:32.15] * blumenkranz (~blumenkra@Rizon-AEA6F50A.red-83-53-16.dynamicip.rima-tde.net) Quit (Quit: WeeChat 0.4.2)
- [07:32.54] <~Derisyan> I hope you chombas have enjoyed the show btw
- [07:33.12] <~Derisyan> Meso, Archaeon, etc...
- [07:33.50] <Toledo> I need to contemplate...
- [07:33.52] <Toledo> everything.
- [07:34.03] <~Derisyan> blumen overcomplicated stuff
- [07:34.06] <~Derisyan> Stick to the facts
- [07:34.38] <~Derisyan> There is a cyborg with very powerful hardware running a Turing Oracle program
- [07:34.54] <Toledo> Here I thought you said a while ago that we'd be doing simple stuff
- [07:35.04] <Toledo> nope.
- [07:35.26] <~Derisyan> It is simple on your end
- [07:35.43] <~Derisyan> Find kid, deliver him to the more convenient target
- [07:35.46] <~Derisyan> or kill it
- [07:36.17] <~Derisyan> But speculation and paranoia does wonders
- [07:36.37] <Toledo> Might be simple now
- [07:36.40] <~Derisyan> The thing is, there is a few big question that makes hard to know what to expect
- [07:36.51] <Toledo> But when we hit the meat, I think shit'll hit the fan
- [07:37.18] <~Derisyan> Well, Ididnt expected Batters to go full Dr Strangelove
- [07:37.36] <~Derisyan> I thought the treath of a Corporation War would be deterrent enough
- [07:37.42] <~Derisyan> That proves I'm still green
- [07:39.06] <Toledo> Session's still every monday, right?
- [07:43.38] <~Derisyan> I want to have a makeup session for the people who either couldnt make it or hanged up waiting
- [07:43.48] <~Derisyan> I still feel a little shitty about that
- [07:44.26] <~Derisyan> In other news
- [07:44.40] <~Derisyan> I'm planning another cyberpunk adventure
- [07:45.24] <Toledo> Yeh?
- [07:45.55] <~Derisyan> A pseudo-religious war between the FSF and the Church of Emacs
- [07:46.06] <~Derisyan> with special guest Richard Stallman
- [07:46.29] <Toledo> Sounds alright.
- [07:46.33] <~Derisyan> kinda tongue in cheek
- [07:46.54] <~Derisyan> >implying this run doesnt have silly moments
- [07:47.33] <~Derisyan> I already left a clue in this run
- [07:47.37] <~Derisyan> The RFSF
- [07:47.45] <~Derisyan> I have namedropped it a few times
- [07:48.25] <Toledo> RFSF?
- [07:48.38] <~Derisyan> Reclaimed Free Society Front
- [07:48.49] <~Derisyan> A radical splinter group of the Free Software Foundation
- [07:50.01] <~Derisyan> They are the top cryptohackers in all the world
- [07:50.21] <~Derisyan> And if the info about the Oracle goes public, yo bet they will spread the word louder than anyone
- [07:50.55] <Toledo> Doubt that'd be a particularly good thing.
- [07:52.11] <~Derisyan> You don't want Corp War
- [07:52.31] <~Derisyan> The Oracle is a price valuable enough to a Corp to gamble anything they have
- [07:52.40] <~Derisyan> just to get their hands on him
- [07:53.41] <Toledo> What if we were to... fail in keeping the Oracle under wraps
- [07:54.02] <Toledo> Would things continue on or would be just outright be rekt.
- [07:54.12] <~Derisyan> Olympians will be really fucked
- [07:54.19] <~Derisyan> and they may get revenge on you before dying themselves
- [07:54.35] <~Derisyan> besides
- [07:54.51] <~Derisyan> Getting the hands on the Oracle would pay all the loses of an open war
- [07:54.58] <~Derisyan> no matter how costly
- [07:55.22] <~Derisyan> hook a cyborg with such massive processing power to a cryptocurrency network
- [07:55.31] <~Derisyan> and you have a decent chance to pull of a 51% hack
- [07:55.38] <Toledo> Would we know what the Oracle would physically be like?
- [07:55.45] <~Derisyan> Yes, there is a photo
- [07:55.52] <Toledo> For some reason I'm imagining lugging around a giant test tube.
- [07:55.57] <~Derisyan> he looks like a regular 6 year old
- [07:56.22] <~Derisyan> terribly easy to hide
- [07:57.30] <Toledo> Probably just a load of datajacks on his head
- [07:58.46] <~Derisyan> it's a good guess
- [07:58.59] <~Derisyan> the picture never showed his back
- [07:59.18] <Toledo> Yeah
- [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
- [08:00.11] <Toledo> Could be wrong.
- [08:02.06] <Toledo> Just can't help but compare the party to the mission at hand.
- [08:03.09] <Toledo> Shaggy misfits and a kid that can process outcomes at a 90% success rate
- [08:03.17] <Toledo> Oh boy.
- [08:04.01] <Toledo> Also, armaments.
- [08:04.18] <Toledo> Assuming we're all equipped with caseless munitions?
- [08:04.37] <Toledo> I think you said that we are, I just can't remember.
