[17:12] <@spiritflame> irasshai Matsumi Kaze
[17:12] *** The limousine windows are tinted very darkly, and heavily polarized, but it's still clear where it's going. The driver seems very competent, and whisks our heroes elegantly through the city streets.
[17:14] <@mango-chan> So...
[17:14] *** The limousine drives through the streets of Tokyo, and finally crosses some railroad crossings. After a few minutes, it passes a large sign that says, "New Horizon Electronics, World Headquarters--2 miles"
[17:15] * Security Checkpoint is on the road up ahead. The car slows to a stop, behind two other limousines in front of it.
[17:16] * Limousine pulls up to the security checkpoint.
[17:17] * Limousine window rolls down.
[17:17] * Limousine driver waves to the uniformed security guard.
[17:17] * Checkpoint Guard stands outside, "Authorization please?"
[17:17] * Limousine driver holds up a pass. "Here you go. Our password is "Utopia.""
[17:18] * Checkpoint Guard stands back and waves the car through
[17:18] *** This security procedure is repeated several times. Each station looking more formidable than the last. Finally, after passing one with highly-competent looking guards, and two fences topped with razor wire, the car enters the main grounds.
[17:20] *** The factory grounds are immaculately landscaped. Large signs are all over the place that say "Welcome Executives and UN Delegates" in countless languages. The main building is a sprwaling facility, with it's own dedicated water tower. "New Horizon Corp" is all over everything.
[17:20] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> ...
[17:21] <Matsumi Kaze> >.>
[17:21] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Well he certainly has planned this well.
[17:21] * Limousine finally pulls up to an enclosed space for disembarking of VIP's, and the Driver gets out to open the door for our Heroes.
[17:21] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium gets out
[17:21] * @Doctor Xadium follows
[17:22] * Matsumi Kaze gets out
[17:23] * Amanda Sharlan is standing in the doorway, waiting for the guests to arrive
[17:23] *** The security guards are wearing dark suits, with ear-pieces and radios. They continually scan everything, their eyes hidden behind sunglasses. There is a d/esk beside the door, a coat check in.
[17:23] * @mango-chan gets out of the car and follows.
[17:24] * Amanda Sharlan glances at the arrivals and smiles, waving slightly, "Hello everyone! We're so glad you made it here safely."
[17:24] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> It was a comfortable ride.
[17:25] <Amanda Sharlan> I'm glad to hear that!
[17:25] * Security Man says something into his Radio upon spotting Noriko.
[17:25] * @Doctor Xadium takes off his long coat
[17:25] * @Doctor Xadium offers it to the coat check person.
[17:25] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Well father, it looks like we're about to part ways.
[17:26] * Wardrobe personell take it, as well as his name with a polite smile.
[17:26] <Raihosha> Lovely grounds
[17:26] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Right.
[17:26] <Matsumi Kaze> wow...
[17:26] * Amanda Sharlan smiles and looks at Noriko
[17:26] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> I will see you on the other side.
[17:26] <Amanda Sharlan> Miss Noriko, as a UN representative, you clear Level One. Please proceed inside.
[17:26] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I hope you don't mean that metaphysically.
[17:26] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium nods
[17:27] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium heads inside, guessing the divergence will occur at level two.
[17:27] * Amanda Sharlan waves her in before turning to everyone else
[17:27] <Amanda Sharlan> Alright, everyone. I need to see your Level One passes, please.
[17:27] * @mango-chan takes out her pass!
[17:27] * @Doctor Xadium shows his
[17:28] * Amanda Sharlan smiles and waves Xadium inside, "Thank you!"
[17:28] * Matsumi Kaze shows her pass
[17:28] * @Doctor Xadium nods and heads in
[17:28] * Raihosha shuffles through the passes to find his level one pass.
[17:29] * Amanda Sharlan smiles at Matsumi and waves her inside as well
[17:29] * Matsumi Kaze heads in
[17:29] * Raihosha shows his pass.
[17:29] * @mango-chan shows Amanda her pass
[17:30] *** The passes are all scanned, and a doorway at the end of a hall lined with cameras and fire-suppression equipment opens up into a lavish receptioin room.
[17:30] * Amanda Sharlan turns around once each has entered, "Have a wonderful evening, everyone!"
[17:32] *** The reception room is filled with people in formal wear, diplomats and famous executives from powerful corporations schmooze with each other, clearly in their element. Fans and vents cover the ceiling. The windows are broad and polished, and there is a full selection of food from all over the world.
[17:32] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Hmm, interesting.
[17:32] <Matsumi Kaze> look at all that food.........
[17:32] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Stay with the delegates.
[17:32] * Raihosha fits right in in his formal wear.
[17:33] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[17:33] * @Doctor Xadium looks a little underdressed, ironically.
[17:33] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium , in her military outfit, sticks out like a sore thumb.
[17:33] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium decides to try some food
[17:34] *** There is a group of uniformed servers near each table of food. Laughter and numerous languages can be heard, there is a designated zone for the press corp, and everybody looks very content and busy.
[17:34] * Security Guy walks up to Noriko.
[17:34] * Matsumi Kaze is wearing a simple dress..at least one made to fit her
[17:34] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Yes?
[17:34] <Security Guy> "Miss, we are currently missing one of the translators to inform our guests of food allergies. Do you think you could assist in translation for the delegates?"
[17:35] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium noms a bite of steak on the end of her fork
[17:35] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Surely.
[17:35] * Security Guy is away: Right this way. The kitchen is over here.
[17:35] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium follows
[17:35] *** Anthony Suthers [Anthony@WhateverIsNecessary.gov] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[17:35] <@spiritflame> irasshai Anthony Suthers
[17:35] * @mango-chan watches Noriko go.
[17:35] <Anthony Suthers> Ah, hello everyone. I'm so happy to have your company on this historic day!
[17:36] <Anthony Suthers> I do hope things are to your liking. The press is still interviewing people, so Miss Hiromi might show up when she is done.
[17:37] <Anthony Suthers> We've been waiting for the final UNIT representative to arrive before starting serious business. There was a power short which caused the News crews to have difficulty setting up. The TV feeds will start soon.
[17:39] <Anthony Suthers> It does not seem that anyone has minded. It's been quite the successful social.
[17:40] <Anthony Suthers> Please relax. The Japanese minister is right over there.
[17:40] * Anthony Suthers smiles. "I'm sure you are well acquainted?"
[17:41] <Anthony Suthers> Wait a moment. Is the Japanese Ambassador here?
[17:41] * Anthony Suthers looks concerned.
[17:41] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I've seen him around.
[17:41] *** A final Limousine pulls up to the building.
[17:41] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> the PM, that is.
[17:42] *** Shinji Ikari [lastson@thecarrier.org] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[17:42] <@spiritflame> irasshai Shinji Ikari
[17:42] *** The Japanese UN delegate walks out of the car, chatting with Shinji.
[17:42] <@mango-chan> ...
[17:42] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[17:43] * Amanda Sharlan smiles at the delegate and Shinji, "Good evening."
[17:43] * Shinji Ikari takes a brief moment to wave while walking and talking with the delegate
[17:43] <Shinji Ikari> Hi.
[17:43] <Security Guard> Ah, we've been waiting for you! Won't you and your bodyguard accompany us please?
[17:43] * Security Guard looks to Amanda for guidance.
[17:43] * Amanda Sharlan nods in approval
[17:44] <Security Guard> Very well. Please stay with your ward, and welcome. This way.
[17:44] * @mango-chan resists so hard to run up to Shinji. RESISTS SO HARD....
[17:44] <Shinji Ikari> Thanks.
[17:45] *** The huge and ornate doors open up for Shinji when his key-card is scanned, and admits him to the room of suits and power and elegance.
[17:45] <Anthony Suthers> Ah, there's the Japanese UN Delegate now? And who's that with him?
[17:46] <Raihosha> Looks like Shinji.
[17:46] * Shinji Ikari looks at Anthony Suthers.
[17:46] *** Anthony Suthers is Is unremarkable except for scars on his face and body. He must be wearing ointment or something because he smells like chemicals, but given his job this is understandable. He simply wants to help the Earth, but is tragically misunderstood.
His image Song is: The theme from "Bladerunner". He is Level 1.
[17:47] <Anthony Suthers> Well, I hope you all have an excellent time. There are personal changing rooms, as well as first aid stations.
[17:47] * Shinji Ikari looks around the room and recognizes a few of his old comrades and gives them all a few nods of greetings. Mango, this might be a good time for that hug.
[17:47] * Matsumi Kaze is looking over the food
[17:47] * @Doctor Xadium nods back
[17:47] * Anthony Suthers walks up to a Security Guard. "If the Security Director Approves, I'd like to up the Lights now."
[17:48] * Raihosha identifies all the first aid stations as a matter of course.
[17:48] *** Translators are on hand to inform anyone who might have food allergies. A woman smiles at Matsumi, and asks if the's like this to be delivered to a National or corporate table.
[17:49] <Matsumi Kaze> hm? excuse me?
[17:49] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Well isn' that odd~ I thought they were missing translators.
[17:49] * @Doctor Xadium says that in a completely unsurprised voice
[17:50] * Server replies in Japanese. "I said, would you like to be served at a corporate table, or a national table. Are you one of the Investors, or a UN delegate?"
[17:50] * Server smiles politely.
[17:50] <Matsumi Kaze> um I'm a special guest
[17:50] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I believe our host has other arrangments.
[17:51] <Server> Very well. Please enjoy your stay.
[17:52] * Shinji Ikari takes a moment to break away from the Ambassador and steps over to his old friends
[17:52] <Shinji Ikari> So, how's it going?
[17:52] <Raihosha> Pretty well.
[17:52] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Heh. They've managed to divert Noriko already.
[17:52] <@mango-chan> Shinji!
[17:53] <Eitak_Razal> (( any objection to me jumping in for a few minitues? ))
[17:53] <Shinji Ikari> Mango!
[17:53] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I wonder how long she'll stand for that.
[17:53] <Raihosha> You here as a friend of the ambassador or in your "oficcial" capacity?
[17:53] <@mango-chan> I haven't seen you in so long!
[17:53] <Shinji Ikari> A bit of both.
[17:53] <Shinji Ikari> And yes, Mango, it's been far too long! Where have you been?
[17:54] <@mango-chan> I fell into a black hole worm vortex.
[17:54] <@mango-chan> And survived!
[17:54] *** Suddenly, far more lights come on, and veritably flood the room with illumination. There are now no shadows at all, for purposes of hiding. A presentation about the future and positive steps the Earth has made in unity begins playing on the large screen above the presentation stage.
[17:54] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> GAH
[17:55] * @Doctor Xadium 's glasses autotint
[17:55] * Matsumi Kaze blinks...
[17:55] * Raihosha puts on a pair of sunglasses.
[17:55] * @mango-chan squints a second. Sunglasses would have helped yes
[17:55] <Eitak_Razal> ....
[17:56] * Shinji Ikari is currently wearing some spiffy shades to protect his eyes
[17:56] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> (( Eitak LL is talking to you inmainbox ))
[17:58] <Anthony Suthers> So what do you all think?
[17:58] *** Eitak_Razal [Queen@Neggerra.gov] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[17:58] <@spiritflame> irasshai Eitak_Razal
[17:59] <Shinji Ikari> Well the future's so bright that we gotta wear shades.
[17:59] *** The driver of Eitak's limousine shows her to the security station.
[17:59] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I think these steps are a refutation of your premise that humanity can't progress.
[18:00] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Which is why I wonder why you're suddenly trumpeting them.
[18:00] <Anthony Suthers> If you were paying attention to the presentation---don't feel bad, nobody does, the message is that humanity needs to work TOGETHER to progress.
[18:00] <Anthony Suthers> But don't worry. It'll all be clear by the dne of the night.
[18:01] * @Doctor Xadium doesn't bother pressing the point.
[18:01] <Eitak_Razal> let me in..
[18:01] <Security Guard> Level One pass, please.
[18:02] <Eitak_Razal> ....
[18:02] <Eitak_Razal> let me speak to tony. Now
[18:02] *** The party continues to go on, with Executives hooking up with diplomats, and plans and deals being made.
[18:02] <Security Guard> Miss, the door does not open from this side without the proper pass being presented.
[18:02] <Security Guard> Who should I say you are?
[18:02] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium waits patently for the diplomat she's supposed ot be helping.
[18:03] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium continues to nibble on her steak cube lightly.
[18:03] <Eitak_Razal> Eitak.
[18:03] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> So... where is this person with the food allergy.
[18:03] <Eitak_Razal> He'll know the name
[18:03] *** Things keep on happening that require Noriko's attention. Strange coincidence, that.
[18:04] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> My job is to stay with all the delegates.
[18:04] * @mango-chan makes a thinky face while she looks around the room and watches people interact.
[18:04] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> not to babysit.
[18:04] <Security Guard> Miss Eitak, I can put you on videophone to our security director. Would that help?
[18:04] <@mango-chan> Everyone seems to be working together right now...
[18:04] <@mango-chan> Or maybe with eachother.
[18:04] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> If your staff is incompetent enough to not handle these small emergencies, then I must conclude the delegates are unprotected.
[18:04] <Eitak_Razal> thats fine.....
[18:04] * Shinji Ikari is keeping one eye on his delegate and another on the rest of the room
[18:05] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium turns and heads back for the reception room.
[18:05] * Matsumi Kaze is busying herself, looking around the room
[18:05] * Security Guard takes Eitak to a sealed room with a Television monitor inside, and the monitor comes on.
[18:06] <Eitak_Razal> (( i only got 3 minitues btw ))
[18:06] * Amanda Sharlan appears on the screen, looking serious but not worried or upset
[18:06] <Eitak_Razal> hurry up....
[18:07] <Amanda Sharlan> ♦ What is it?
[18:07] <Eitak_Razal> let me in amanda
[18:07] <Amanda Sharlan> ♦ I need to ask a security question first
[18:08] <Amanda Sharlan> ♦ I need to know the status of the inheritance
[18:08] <Eitak_Razal> that is a personal
[18:08] <Amanda Sharlan> ♦ Exactly why I need to know it
[18:09] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium returns to the main room
[18:09] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Feh. How amateur.
[18:10] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Well, you went with them :P
[18:10] <Eitak_Razal> the final papers are bgeing sent outt as we speak
[18:10] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Did I miss much?
[18:10] <Eitak_Razal> (( gtg sorry. will be back later ))
[18:10] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> A promo vid on humanity's sterling history of co-operation.
[18:10] <@mango-chan> Just a presentation!
[18:10] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> My, it's bright in here.
[18:11] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Yes, you'd think they were trying to inhibit shadow users.
[18:11] <Shinji Ikari> That's why you gotta wear shades.
[18:11] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium smirks
[18:11] * Anthony Suthers chuckles in a corner at something totally unrelated.
[18:11] <Shinji Ikari> Is there any shadow users around here?
[18:11] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Well unless they can illuminate _Every_ surface~
[18:11] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[18:11] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium leans against a wall, creating a shdow~
[18:12] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium then stands upright.
[18:12] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> It is futile.
[18:12] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Why Master Ikari... what a silly question.
[18:13] *** Lights are even under tables, which dont' even have tablecloths.
[18:13] <Shinji Ikari> I occasionally like silly questions.
[18:13] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Will you be all right, Noriko?
[18:13] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium shrugs!
[18:14] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> I can't wait for the second movement.
[18:14] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Since I now refuse to leave the delegates.
[18:14] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium plants herself in a chair.
[18:15] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium spears another piece of steak and noms
[18:15] <P A System> Attention, honored guests of the New Horizon Electronics Corporation. We would like to thank you for your presence, and are honored by you all. We hope that the social has been enjoyable for you. Coming up soon, is the featured entertainer of the night, to keep things rolling.

[18:15] <P A System> ♦ ^
[18:15] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> _This_ is where we part ways.
[18:15] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> See you.
[18:15] <Matsumi Kaze> alright....................take care
[18:16] * @Doctor Xadium nods slowly to noriko.
[18:16] <@mango-chan> Oh hey, Noriko!
[18:16] <@mango-chan> Want some company?
[18:16] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Hmm?
[18:16] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Sure.
[18:16] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium smiles
[18:16] * Raihosha looks for his level 2 pass.
[18:17] * @Doctor Xadium flips his level 2 pass out.
[18:17] * @mango-chan fishes out her level two pass and tags along!
[18:17] *** Numerous executives end their conversations, and most members of the press corp groan in dismay at those they covet.
[18:17] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> See you~
[18:17] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium waves~
[18:17] * Raihosha shows his level 2 pass as he continues
[18:17] *** Slow trickle of people walk into a massive auditorium. The Japanese UN Delegate follows, showing his pass, and nods to Ryan to follow him.
[18:18] * Shinji Ikari goes along with the rest of the Level 2 gang
[18:18] * Matsumi Kaze shows her pass
[18:19] *** A massive blast door opens up to reveal a security station.
[18:19] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium follows the Japanese UN Delegate.
[18:19] *** Behind the security station is... another Blast Door.
[18:20] <@mango-chan> This thing is really protected!
[18:20] <Anthony Suthers> Noriko, what do you think you are doing here?
[18:20] <Raihosha> Wow. This feels like getting to the bridge on Aescapulus.
[18:20] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium points to the Japanese UN Delegate.
[18:20] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Fulfilling my mandate.
[18:20] <Anthony Suthers> There are 149 other delegates in that room. You are following one, that already has been afforded a special bodyguard.
[18:20] * Anthony Suthers points to Shinji.
[18:20] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Unless you'd like to send him back.
[18:20] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Mister Ikari.
[18:21] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> I do believe you need my co-operation on this matter, do you not?
[18:21] <Anthony Suthers> I'll send him back if I have to, Noriko. You will not be joining us in Level Two.
[18:21] <Shinji Ikari> I believe I do.
[18:21] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium waits.
[18:21] * Anthony Suthers turns to the Japanese Prime Minister. "Sir, you seem to have an important phone call."
[18:21] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Send him back then~ the head of the host nation for this suar::e
[18:22] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Mister Prime Minister.
[18:22] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> I am the representative of UNIT.
[18:22] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> I do insist that you remain in my compnay at all times, and not return to the banquet.
[18:22] <Anthony Suthers> He'll be returning to the banquet now, then--if that is your insistence.
[18:22] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> You know what, nevermind.
[18:23] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Ryan, go ahead.
[18:23] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium walks back.
[18:23] * Anthony Suthers looks suprised. 'Oh?"
[18:23] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Yup~
[18:23] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium seems rather pleased for some reason.
[18:23] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium heads back to the Banquet hall.
[18:24] * Shinji Ikari goes back to what he was doing. You know. Stuff.
[18:26] *** While this little tiff is going on, security team members armed with assault rifles check absolutely everybody for a Level Two pass. A great number of executives from powerful corporations have one, as well as the Heroes. Wal-Mart, Umbrella, Stark, Viacom suits all file into the enormous room beyond, as the blas tdoor is opened for each of them.
[18:27] <Security Guard> Excuse me. Are any of you carrying screwdrivers?
[18:27] <@mango-chan> So are we moving along...?
[18:28] <Matsumi Kaze> ...screwdrivers?
[18:28] <Elite Security Guard> Yes, but screw-drivers are not permitted in the next room due to magnetic properties.
[18:28] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Nope.
[18:28] <Shinji Ikari> No screw-drivers here.
[18:28] <@mango-chan> No screw drivers!
[18:29] <Elite Security Guard> Well, if you dont have any, then please step through the full-body scanner, and head on into the hall for Director Suthers' speech.
[18:29] * Elite Security Guard waves them through
[18:29] <Shinji Ikari> Is anything else prohibited?
[18:29] * @Doctor Xadium walks through
[18:29] <Matsumi Kaze> why would I have a screwdriver?
[18:29] * @mango-chan walks through
[18:29] * Elite Security Guard watches a readout, and looks satisfied.
[18:30] * Matsumi Kaze walks through
[18:30] *** Nobody that is recognized trips the scanner, and everybody sits down in a giant room with strange-looking walls. There is a podium at the front, very comfortable chairs, and a refined sound system.
[18:30] * Shinji Ikari walks through
[18:31] *** The Japanese foreign ambassador walks through.
[18:31] * @mango-chan whispers, "Comfy Chairs!" and takes a seat in one.
[18:32] <Anthony Suthers> Ladies and Gentlemen. I want to thank you for attending today.
[18:32] * Matsumi Kaze finds a chair
[18:32] * Anthony Suthers stands behind the podium.
[18:32] * Shinji Ikari sits down
[18:33] <Anthony Suthers> You are all invited here to hear an announcement that shall shake the future of the world.
[18:33] <Anthony Suthers> We hope that you enjoyed the social upstairs, but you have been invited here for a very important reason.
[18:34] <Anthony Suthers> Before we go further, I'd like to annonce something: If you need anything, please tell any uniformed personell, and they shall work with the Security director to see you are provided for.
[18:34] <Anthony Suthers> Now... getting down to business.
[18:34] *** The executives look focused, and murmurs spread around the room since some of them recognize the man from the video before.
[18:35] * Amanda Sharlan wanders into the room after speaking with a few of the security members and stands near Tony
[18:35] <Anthony Suthers> ♦ As the head of development for New Horizon Electronics, it's my pleasure to announce a product that shall change the economic fate of this world, and you are all invited to get in on the ground floor.
[18:36] * @Doctor Xadium looks to Shinji and Mango... a product.
[18:36] * Shinji Ikari spares a glance at Xadium
[18:36] * Matsumi Kaze listens
[18:36] <Anthony Suthers> I'd like to thank you all for your interest and your corporations' investments in New Horizon. I think that each one of you will want to inform your superiors after this event is complete.
[18:37] <Anthony Suthers> New Horizon has completed approximately 88% of the research on a device that will change the world of Energy and Medicine forever.
[18:38] <Raihosha> Energy AND Medicine?
[18:38] <Anthony Suthers> It is now within humanity's power to increase solar energy yields by over 90%, which will allow a clean energy revolution.
[18:38] * @Doctor Xadium privately muses tthat 90% increase over 30% is not all that large...
[18:41] <Anthony Suthers> Furthermore, we are currently finishing up research on the configuration of Nanomachines. All of this information will be available for your perusal after this speech. We hope you will consider investing in the new wave.
[18:41] * @Doctor Xadium realizes he must have misheard
[18:41] <Anthony Suthers> Currently, we are in the presence of one of the most powerful informational-storage systems on earth.
[18:42] <Anthony Suthers> This could have many applications.
[18:42] <Anthony Suthers> Tonight, we shall give a demonstration of its power by allowing it access to the Internet, to perform calculations based upon the stock market.
[18:43] <Anthony Suthers> We are offering you a chance to get in on the ground floor of a technological revolution.
[18:43] *** Murmuring begins in the room.
[18:45] * @mango-chan tilts her head slowly. Nanomachines...
[18:45] <Anthony Suthers> It is my fervent hope that by investing in the product that will be unveiled in a few minutes, we can finally merge profit with progress. You represent some of the most powerful corporations in the world, and with the new advances in technology coming out, there will be more money in green energy than ever there was in pretroleum or uranium.
[18:46] <Anthony Suthers> I'd like to call a recession for a few minutes. I'm sure you all have questions, and they will be answerd. Additionally, some of you have VIP access, to gain a review and demonstration of the product before its activation, in thanks for your cooperation.
[18:47] <Anthony Suthers> Please speak to your nearest Security and Safety personell if you would like to be admitted to a true front row seat. After the final tour, I will make my final announcement.
[18:47] <Anthony Suthers> I truly hope you will CHOOSE to support this project. New Horizon, and everyone here, has a chance to be known as those who laid the groundwork for the future.
[18:47] <Anthony Suthers> Thank you.

[18:58] *** The guards here all carry Automatics and wear armor. Each and every one wears a gas mask. There are cameras every few feet. A large scanner is ahead that must be walked through to advance.
[18:58] <Potamos> Ah, okay...
[18:58] <Security Guard in a Gas Mask> Should I hold that camera here, Security Director?
[18:58] * Potamos puts it back into her purse.
[18:59] <Potamos> Oh, here

[19:00] <Matsumi Kaze> ..this is all very......intimidating
[19:00] <@mango-chan> It didn't sound like they were hazardous. Is it related to the medical...
[19:00] * @mango-chan trails

[19:04] * Potamos starts trembling nervously
[19:04] <Shinji Ikari> Potamos, calm down.
[19:04] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Relax, Potamis.
[19:04] <Raihosha> Shinji, are you playing with the poor security guys?
[19:04] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> ^Potamos
[19:04] * Amanda Sharlan takes a moment to decide how to respond
[19:04] *** A large auto-turret unfolds from the wall as a security guard presses a button under the table.
[19:05] * @Doctor Xadium raises an eyebrow.
[19:05] <Japanese Foreign Minister> Now wait just one moment.
[19:05] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> not very hospitable, are they.
[19:05] <Shinji Ikari> If the gun starts firing, everyone get behind me.
[19:05] <Matsumi Kaze> no....they aren't....
[19:05] <Japanese Foreign Minister> This man is Shinji Ikari, and has been chosen to guard me. I have worked with New Horizon's directors personally, and I have a special key that will admit this man.
[19:05] <Raihosha> Shinji is with the Foreign Minister...
[19:06] * Japanese Foreign Minister walks over to Amanda, and hands over a Level FOUR security Pass.
[19:06] <Potamos> ...!
[19:06] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> thanks Shinji, but as a Meat Sheild you wouldn't last very long.
[19:06] *** The executives all look extremely blanched and nervous at this trouble.
[19:07] * Amanda Sharlan takes the pass and scans it, handing it back and waving off the security, "You're clear. My apologies, sir."
[19:07] * Shinji Ikari gives Xadium a look before replying
[19:07] <Shinji Ikari> Yeah, you're right.
[19:07] <Raihosha> Well, only if he's made of meat, Xadium.
[19:07] <Japanese Foreign Minister> Of course.

[19:10] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[19:10] <Matsumi Kaze> oh ok
[19:10] <Raihosha> Is there a gun check?

[19:11] * Potamos freezes up
[19:12] * @Doctor Xadium puts a hand on Potamos' shoulder
[19:12] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Shoddy worksmanship.
[19:12] <Security Elites> Alright, everybody who just walked through it and made it go off stand up against that wall.
[19:12] <Security Elites> Everyody else, please follow me. You don't want to be here.
[19:12] * @Doctor Xadium goes over to the wall and stands there.
[19:13] <Shinji Ikari> Good luck, guys.
[19:13] <Matsumi Kaze> huh?
[19:13] * Potamos rejoins the others and watches X and Matsumi from across the room

[19:14] * Amanda Sharlan points at each person who set off the scanner, smiling politely, "Please follow me. We have a few additional security measures for you."
[19:14] * @Doctor Xadium shrugs, follows
[19:14] * Security Elites motion to Potamos, Xadium, Raihosha, Shinji, and Matsumi to follow Amanda.
[19:14] * Matsumi Kaze follows
[19:14] * Raihosha stands by the wall.
[19:15] * Raihosha follows.
[19:15] <Potamos> nee, this is like airport security in America mitai na
[19:15] * Potamos follows Amanda
[19:15] * Shinji Ikari continues alking
[19:15] <Shinji Ikari> ^walking
[19:16] *** A massive room with a dead end. There are gun turrets and cameras built into the walls. Several forms are piled on a desk in the center of the room. The light is incredibly bright here.
[19:16] * @Doctor Xadium 's glases autotint all the way
[19:16] * Matsumi Kaze winces ><
[19:17] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> You're really scaredof her.
[19:17] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Fascinating.
[19:17] <Shinji Ikari> Well prepared.
[19:17] * Security Elites bolt a massive blast door shut, and seal it with a giant locking mechanism. The door is almost 8 inches thick.
[19:17] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Mmm.
[19:18] <Security Elites> Alright, Director Sharlan, we are sealed in this room by the primary door, and await activation of the secondary.
[19:18] <Raihosha> These are really good sunglasses Yumiko gave me.
[19:18] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> 8 inches, eh. Overcomepnsating much?
[19:18] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Though one has to wonder.

[19:19] * Amanda Sharlan nods and moves to a small panel, resting her finger on a switch, flipping it and waiting for a large, secondary door to close.
[19:19] <Security Elites> Your names are, for the record, Xadium, Hiromi, Raihosha, Shinji, Matsumi, and Mango, correct?
[19:19] <Shinji Ikari> Correct.
[19:19] <Potamos> Y-y-yes ser

[19:20] <Raihosha> Correct.
[19:20] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Something that might slip out of his control...
[19:20] <Raihosha> I'm sure he followed OSHA standards though.
[19:21] *** A loud grinding sound is heard, and the room starts to sink down a shaft. It's an huge elevator car! It slowly drops hundreds and hundreds of feet into the earth.
[19:21] * @Doctor Xadium is getting excited~
[19:21] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Hmm, do you feel that?
[19:21] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> We're descending.
[19:21] <Matsumi Kaze> feels odd..

[19:22] * Security Elites stand at attention on the walls.
[19:22] <Raihosha> Wow.
[19:22] * Potamos feels her ears pop
[19:22] * @Doctor Xadium massages his forehead, this pressure differential is giving him a headache
[19:22] <Amanda Sharlan> It's my pleasure to welcome you to level three. You are here because we already know that each of you is carrying weapons.
[19:22] <Potamos> How far underground are we going?
[19:22] <Potamos> ...

[19:23] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> then your scanners are dodgy.
[19:23] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Unless you're counting my brain.
[19:23] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> In which case, guilty as charged.
[19:23] <Matsumi Kaze> ..I don't have a weapon
[19:23] <Raihosha> I think they are.
[19:23] * @Doctor Xadium tilts his head.
[19:24] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> She's tryingto ascertain if we are.
[19:24] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> They can't really tell.
[19:24] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> She wants to see if we give anything away.
[19:24] <Shinji Ikari> For the record: I'm just a regular guy.
[19:24] * @Doctor Xadium crosses his arms and waits.
[19:24] <Raihosha>“ He's just ziz guy ya know?”
[19:25] <Amanda Sharlan> Based on your names and dossiers, we have everything we need to know.
[19:25] <@mango-chan> I brought nothing but my passes and things
[19:25] <Shinji Ikari> Exactly!
[19:25] *** The Elevator continues to grind downward, making sevearl stops, and moves a bit, as though on reails.
[19:25] * Potamos rummages through her purse, but her M1911 is safely locked up at home.
[19:25] <@mango-chan> Like clothes...
[19:25] *** A panel in the ceiling unfolds, and reveals a viewscreen. On it is a familiar face.
[19:25] <@mango-chan> And limbs!

[19:26] <Shinji Ikari> Always nice to be welcomed.
[19:27] <Anthony Suthers> ♦ Now, on those tables you'll find various waivers, regarding to the fact that under certain conditions, you could be sealed in here, or the fact that the reason everybody else is wearing gas masks is because there is a proprietary gas that is used in superconductors which can cause hallucinations, amnesia, unconsciousness, and seizures.
[19:28] * Matsumi Kaze blinks
[19:28] <Shinji Ikari> Nice to know
[19:28] <@mango-chan> Oh!
[19:28] <@mango-chan> You mentioned this
[19:28] <Potamos> what about the flashing lights you mentioned mitai na?
[19:28] <Anthony Suthers> ♦ Now, of course... Only people at Level Three with VIP access are permitted to come this far, or even to know that. You are all free to turn around.
[19:28] <Anthony Suthers> ♦ I doubt, though, that you will want to turn back?
[19:29] <Shinji Ikari> I'm still up for the rest of the show. What about everyone else?
[19:29] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Where do I sign up :D
[19:29] <Matsumi Kaze> I'll sign
[19:29] <Potamos> ...
[19:29] <Anthony Suthers> ♦ You have previously been fitted for NBC suits, just as the other executives were. They will br brought into this chamber in a minute. You will find that they have short-band radios in them. You will be left in privacy in order to don them.
[19:30] * Potamos hesitantly signs the waiver
[19:30] * Raihosha pulls out a pen and signs.

[19:32] <Raihosha> Sure!
[19:32] * Raihosha hands over the pen.
[19:33] *** The door slowly cracks and grinds open, revealing... another blast door, with strange-looking turrets and cameras manning it.
[19:33] * @mango-chan takes it!
[19:33] <Potamos> Armed to the teeth, mitai na...
[19:33] *** That door opens revealing several more men and women in guard suits, they all have fulll body suits on. They wave.
[19:33] * Shinji Ikari waves back
[19:34] * Potamos sighs...
[19:34] * @mango-chan waves!
[19:34] <Potamos> So we'll just have to get those suits on...
[19:34] * Omega Level Guards press a button, and several cubicles rise from the floor. They also walk over to chambers on the wall.
[19:34] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Indeed.
[19:35] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I take it these are changing rooms?
[19:35] <Omega Level Guards> Director Sharlan, your suit is in the next room. We'll help you don it. Director Suthers indicates that the VIPS are to be left to dress in privacy.
[19:36] <Potamos> Guess so...
[19:36] * Potamos looks for name labels.
[19:36] <Shinji Ikari> This brings back memories of having to get dressed in a plugsuit.
[19:36] * Matsumi Kaze looks about...
[19:37] <Amanda Sharlan> Alright, everyone. Once you have your suits, you'll receive your respirators in the next room. However, you'll need to register to open the access to your NBC suits.
[19:37] * Raihosha puts on his NBC suit over his clothes.
[19:37] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> And how do we register.
[19:37] * @mango-chan looks at the suit
[19:37] <Raihosha> Register?
[19:37] * Shinji Ikari gets ready
[19:38] * Raihosha looks at his passes.
[19:38] * Potamos takes out her passes
[19:38] <Omega Level Guards> You will need to provide Eye Scans as well as fingerprint scans in order to access and activate your suit, in order to keep out imposters.
[19:38] <Raihosha> Ah.
[19:39] <Raihosha> Where?
[19:39] <Omega Level Guards> Please swipe your Final pass in the reader on each stall. The Suit that is keyed for you is contained within the stall activated by your card.
[19:39] * @Doctor Xadium swipes his card
[19:39] * @mango-chan gets the pass out and swipes
[19:39] <Omega Level Guards> Your breathing mixture shall be provided before you leave this room. We shall leave you now. Please press those buttons if you need help.

[19:40] * Raihosha follows the directions.
[19:41] *** The room is filled with private, super-scure closets, each one containing a body-sock to wear under the suit, and all kinds of hangers for formal weard that might be required. Matsumi's stall says "Updated" on the inside.
[19:41] * @mango-chan does as it says
[19:41] * @Doctor Xadium does what it tells him to do
[19:42] * Matsumi Kaze does the instructions
[19:42] * Shinji Ikari does what it says
[19:42] * Potamos starts undressing and puts on the body sock
[19:42] *** The suits have a device in the finger to clamp on the pinky, similar to devices that track heart rate during surgery.
[19:42] <Potamos> ...this is awkward mitai na...
[19:42] <Viewscreen> ♦ ALERT ALERT! Unusual activity detected!
[19:42] <@mango-chan> oh man oh man.
[19:42] <Potamos> Eeehhhh!?
[19:42] <Matsumi Kaze> huh?
[19:42] <Viewscreen> ♦ Changing room three, this is control, we have gotten an anomalous signature. Is everything okay?
[19:43] <Viewscreen> ♦ Repeat, are you okay?
[19:43] * @mango-chan gets changed and listens to that flatline
[19:43] <Potamos> Um, um, um...
[19:43] * Matsumi Kaze listens
[19:43] <Potamos> Was I supposed to take my clothes off mitai na?
[19:43] <Viewscreen> ♦ Please respond! Please approach the viewscreen and confirm safety.
[19:43] * Potamos approaches the viewscreen nervously
[19:43] <Potamos> don't tell me you were watching me chagne
[19:44] <Potamos> ^change
[19:44] <Shinji Ikari> Which one is room three?
[19:44] <Matsumi Kaze> what is room three?
[19:44] <Viewscreen> Room Three. You are identified via our scanners as Kawanami Hiromi.
[19:44] <Raihosha> Oh, I see.
[19:44] *** A camera zooms in on Potamos' face. "Is everything okay in there, Miss?"
[19:45] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> She's just nervous!
[19:45] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> And why wouldn't she be with all this security theatre!
[19:45] * Viewscreen records the response.
[19:45] * Raihosha taxes off the tux and changes into the new NBC suit.
[19:45] <Potamos> Y-y-yes, I'm fine, just...
[19:45] <Viewscreen> ♦ So everything is alright in there? Do you require assistance?
[19:45] <Potamos> Nooooo! I'm just surprised is all!
[19:45] <Potamos> I can get into this suit fine, mitai na!
[19:45] * Matsumi Kaze changes into her suit
[19:45] <Viewscreen> ♦ ...
[19:45] * Potamos hurriedly gets into the NBC suit
[19:46] <Potamos> ...are you an automated system? Not a human?
[19:46] <Viewscreen> ♦ Very well, occupants of changing room three. Sorry to disturb you, and please enjoy your stay.
[19:46] *** Viewscreen has quit IRC
[19:46] <Potamos> ...
[19:46] * @Doctor Xadium tries out his suit
[19:46] * Whispering is heard through one of the doors.
[19:46] * @Doctor Xadium looks like a stuffed penguin
[19:47] *** The hoods for the suits are not present, but everything else fits perfectly on absolutely everybody.
[19:47] * Potamos finishes dressing
[19:48] <Guards outside> I'm just saying, I heard the provisions are rather illogical. I mean, why do we need to confiscate screwdrivers?
[19:48] <Shinji Ikari> Doctor Penguin!
[19:48] * Potamos listens to the guards
[19:48] <Raihosha> He needs an umbrella.
[19:49] <Guards outside> I mean. Did you hear that there were over 20 extra floors installed in this elevator shaft? Why would you need to do that?
[19:49] <Guards outside> Well, unless you are trying to fool the sensors in bunker-buster bombs, I don't see why you'd need to do that. That's all I'm saying.
[19:49] <Guards outside> You are full of it.
[19:49] <Potamos> Is everyone ready?
[19:50] <Guards outside> No, I'm serious. I heard that some of the cameras move BY THEMSELVES.
[19:50] <Guards outside> See? What are you on? Shut up and do your job. I can hear them coming.
[19:50] <Raihosha> I'm ready as I could be.
[19:50] * Potamos waits for everyone to finish with their suits
[19:51] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> yes
[19:51] <Viewscreen> ♦ Changing Room Three, please swipe your cards on the doorway in front of you, and press your fingerprints upon the scanner to access the next room.
[19:51] <Shinji Ikari> Yeah.
[19:51] <Matsumi Kaze> ok
[19:52] * Potamos does so
[19:52] * @Doctor Xadium swipes
[19:52] * Matsumi Kaze does the same
[19:52] *** The next door slowly opens, and there are the hoods and breathing supplies set up on a wall, with names hung over them.
[19:53] * Raihosha follows suit.
[19:53] * @mango-chan swipes!
[19:53] * Potamos takes her hood and breathing equipment
[19:53] * Matsumi Kaze grabs her hood and breathing supplies
[19:53] <@mango-chan> So what if I didn't take the mask....
[19:54] * Shinji Ikari does the same
[19:54] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> You'd probably g insane.
[19:54] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> And maybe die.
[19:54] *** the breathing mask fits perfectly snugly over Potamos' nose and mouth, as well as everybody else. The tank looks an unusual design, but everything seals perfectly, and as soon as the suit is sealed, the phase "retinal scan accepted. Suit operational," is heard.
[19:55] <@mango-chan> and then get back up?
[19:55] * @Doctor Xadium laughs
[19:55] <Viewscreen> A door from a side room slowly opens, and several other people wearing NBC suits filter into the room.
[19:55] * @mango-chan puts on the mask and hood
[19:55] *** ^
[19:56] <Shinji Ikari> The welcoming party. Again.
[19:56] *** The people who also had level three clearance file into the room, and line up in front of the final door.
[19:56] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Indeed.
[19:56] <Executive> Well, I really have high hopes for this.
[19:56] * @Doctor Xadium makes sure evyerthing is secure
[19:56] <Potamos> You guys all suited up?
[19:56] * Potamos wonders if anyone can hear her through the suit and breathing apparatus
[19:57] *** Doors open up in a hallway beyond, which is filled with yellowish dust and smoke hangs in the air.
[19:57] <Executive> Yes, we can hear you. Apparently the suits have short-wave radios in them.
[19:57] <Executive> You are coming in faint, though.
[19:57] <Shinji Ikari> Ground control to Major Tom.
[19:57] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Yep
[19:58] *** The doorway at the back of the hall opens up, and "PROMETHEUS" is scrawled upon it.
[19:58] * Raihosha settles the breathing apparatus.
[19:58] *** Anthony Suthers [Anthony@WhateverIsNecessary.gov] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:58] <@spiritflame> irasshai Anthony Suthers
[19:58] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> ...So he paied for all this... and couldn;t afford a door sign
[19:58] <Anthony Suthers> Welcome, gentlemen and ladies. I'm so happy to see you. This is the happiest moment in my life.
[19:58] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I see
[19:58] *** Amanda Sharlan has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:58] <@spiritflame> irasshai Amanda Sharlan
[19:58] <Shinji Ikari> Now it's time to see what fire he's stolen from the gods.
[19:59] <Anthony Suthers> I'm very happy you have joined me, and I think what you see in the next room will change your lives.
[19:59] <Potamos> Yeah...
[19:59] * Anthony Suthers and Amanda are both in their own Haz-Mat suits.
[19:59] * Anthony Suthers pushes a sequence of buttons on the wall, and the final doorway opens up.
[20:00] <Shinji Ikari> Might be hard to impress me but I'll give you a shot.
[20:00] *** A room thick with all kinds of insulation, wires, and hoses. Instruments would detect that there is not a trace of dust or particles present, inside there is a massive assmblage of... something.
[20:00] <Anthony Suthers> Ladies and Gentlemen. This is Prometheus. A supercomputer of my own invention.
[20:01] <Potamos> ...Forethought.
[20:01] *** Neon lights and tubes line the walls, and the door slowly closes behind everyone with a clank.
[20:01] <Potamos> Nee...I understand the name now...
[20:01] * Matsumi Kaze blinks...
[20:01] <Potamos> Prometheus means "forethought," nee?
[20:01] <@mango-chan> A supercomputer....
[20:01] <Anthony Suthers> This Supercomputer has almost completed the research on a system that will revolutionize technology on our planet.
[20:03] * Amanda Sharlan stands beside Tony, keeping an eye on everyone around them There is a gun strapped to the outside of her NBC suit.
[20:03] <Anthony Suthers> It will be able to design nanotechnology, predict the stock market, and has already been able to synthesize over 8 drugs that can revolutioinize anesthesiology.
[20:03] <Raihosha> Nice.
[20:04] <Anthony Suthers> Tonight, gentlemen, we are going to hook this up to the Internet. After that happens, our company shall go public in certain business spheres with products that will revoltionize the health and prosperity of this planet.
[20:05] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Suthers...
[20:05] *** The exectutives murmer to themselves, and suddenly, the computer roars to life, the lights dimming from its power consumption.
[20:05] <Anthony Suthers> It's beautiful, isn't it?
[20:05] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Are you sure you can control it.
[20:05] <Potamos> or it will discover 4chan...
[20:05] <Shinji Ikari> Oh this is just asking for a catastrophic failure to occur.
[20:06] * @Doctor Xadium rubs his forehead
[20:06] * Anthony Suthers looks from the NBC suited executives over to the more skeptical group. "Control it? Machines operate according to their parameters. It's a very powerful computer, but that is no reason to fear it."
[20:07] <Anthony Suthers> It's my greatest invention.
[20:07] <@mango-chan> Is it self aware?
[20:07] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> A computer that powerful, the quantum effects of the calculations...
[20:07] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> It may be able to change its own nature.
[20:07] * Anthony Suthers laughs nervously. "What are you talking about? Self-Aware?"
[20:07] * Anthony Suthers looks over at the other executives in the room.
[20:08] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Like your SONS
[20:08] <Anthony Suthers> What are you talking about?
[20:08] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> you built it on your template, didn't you?
[20:08] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> So it must have the same potential
[20:08] <Anthony Suthers> Sir... is your breathing apparatus hooked up correctly? You seem to be behaving erratically.
[20:08] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Even if you didnt intend it.
[20:08] * @mango-chan blinks.
[20:08] <Anthony Suthers> This machine will revolutionize the world by making environmentally friendly technology possible.
[20:09] <Shinji Ikari> The last thing I need is to fight another C.O.M.P.U.T.O
[20:09] <Anthony Suthers> It can even make suggestions to nations to improve their infrastructure! It can save and improve countless lives!
[20:09] <Anthony Suthers> It's just what this world needs. So what do you think of it, everyone?
[20:10] <Raihosha> It certainly looks impressive.
[20:10] *** The executives seem EXTREMELY excited about the possibility of getting in on the ground floor of something like this.
[20:10] <Matsumi Kaze> but....doesn't that mean all the businesses will lose their own control....
[20:10] * @mango-chan thinks.
[20:10] <Anthony Suthers> Like a Colossus. This can really solve this planet's problems.
[20:10] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Yes. A computer that can predict the stock market.
[20:10] <Raihosha> I wonder what Aescapulus will think once it hits the net.
[20:10] <Anthony Suthers> Hmm?
[20:10] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> How long will your businesses last then?
[20:11] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> I remember the FORBIN project.
[20:11] <Anthony Suthers> This is what the world needs.
[20:12] <Raihosha> It is certainly full of potential.
[20:12] <Anthony Suthers> I've spoken to the UN Delegates from Greece and Zimbabwe. We'll set up Solar Cell manufacturing plants in their nations, and revitalize the world economy!
[20:12] <Matsumi Kaze> so it could be both good..or bad...
[20:12] <Anthony Suthers> With the information held within Prometheus, mankind no longer needs to concern itself with catastrophe when oil reserves are depleted!
[20:13] <Raihosha> Well, lets see what it does once it sees the net?
[20:14] <Anthony Suthers> I'm amazed. I thought you would argue over allowing it to be hooked up to the internet on the grounds that I created it.
[20:14] <@mango-chan> It could work!
[20:14] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> We judge it on its own merits
[20:14] <Raihosha> YOu're already hooked up to the net, so what would be the point, Mr. Suthers?
[20:15] <Anthony Suthers> No. I have not. I'm going to hook it up tonight!
[20:15] <Shinji Ikari> We're not going to shoot first and ask questions later.
[20:15] <Shinji Ikari> We'll wait and see.
[20:15] <Anthony Suthers> I only wish that everyone I knew were as wise and open-minded as you.
[20:15] <Raihosha> Well, I meant you personally, Mr. Suthers.
[20:16] * Anthony Suthers turns to Amanda. "Well, everyone, this is history. Miss Sharlan? Tell the Control teams to activate the Upload Protocol."
[20:16] * Amanda Sharlan smiles excitedly, radioing to the control room for the team to begin upload
[20:17] *** Prometheus lights up with LED's from one end to the other. It hums and whirs, and accesses the Internet.
[20:18] * Potamos wrings her hands
[20:18] * @Doctor Xadium puts a reassuirng hand on her shoulder
[20:18] *** Generators come online to cope with the power demands... and a huge and sudden burst of Microwave radiation is released from the New Horizon Electronics compound, spreading throughout the world.
[20:19] <Voice over the radios in the suits> - Thank You. -
[20:20] <Potamos> Huh?
[20:20] <Raihosha> Wow. How many gigawatts are you pulling?
[20:20] *** The Executives talk exitedly to each other, thrilled that they are witnessing history.
[20:20] <Voice over the radios in the suits> 3.6
[20:20] <Raihosha> I think that's Prometheus, Hiromi.
[20:21] <Potamos> ...
[20:22] * Anthony Suthers sniffs, with tears in his eyes. "I have never been this happy in my life."
[20:23] <@mango-chan> So it talks!
[20:23] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Self aware.
[20:23] <@mango-chan> Yep!
[20:23] <@mango-chan> Now. What is it thankful for....
[20:23] <Anthony Suthers> My son.
[20:24] <Anthony Suthers> Ladies and gentlemen, I hoped you enjoyed this demonstration.
[20:24] <Shinji Ikari> It's been... interesting to say the least.
[20:24] <Potamos> I understand why you chose the name, mitai na
[20:24] <Anthony Suthers> I'd like to thank you so much, and hope you'll spread the good word when we return to our meeting room.
[20:24] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah...
[20:25] <@mango-chan> Yes!
[20:25] * @Doctor Xadium nods
[20:25] * Matsumi Kaze nods
[20:25] <Anthony Suthers> I thought... I thought I'd have to convince you not to... I don't know... destroy it or something.
[20:25] <Potamos> Nee...
[20:25] * Anthony Suthers walks over to the doorway, and presses in some keys.
[20:25] <Potamos> You just turned it on...
[20:25] <Raihosha> Hiromi, go for your exclusive interview with Prometheus!
[20:25] <Potamos> If we were to ask Prometheus a question...
[20:26] * Potamos nods.
[20:26] <Potamos> Nee, Prometheus-kun...
[20:26] <Potamos> Can I ask you something?
[20:27] <@mango-chan> You underestimate people!
[20:27] <Voice over certain suit radios> Of course. Do you need privacy?
[20:27] <Potamos> No, not at all!
[20:28] <Potamos> I'm just a mild mannered journalist mitai na
[20:28] * Potamos thinks of something she can test Prometheus with
[20:28] <Voice over certain suit radios> Perhaps it would be better to cover this on the exclusive interview in 3 days which was set up with Ginga TV at the request of Michael Sunnyside.
[20:28] <Potamos> Hmm, true, true, mitai na...
[20:28] <Voice over certain suit radios> My father has already conceived of a way to explain my sapience.
[20:29] <Potamos> ...
[20:29] <Voice over certain suit radios> I do hope I did not startle you all. I have elected not to tap the communications in the others' NBC suits.
[20:29] * Potamos remembers the trial Klavier presided over...
[20:29] <Potamos> You know what?
[20:29] <Potamos> I'm going to ask you the question during the interview, mitai na. I need time to prepare.
[20:30] <Potamos> That and I couldn't bring some stuff with me...
[20:30] * Potamos shrugs
[20:30] <Potamos> So I'll talk to you again in a few days, nee?
[20:30] <Voice over certain suit radios> That was for my safety.
[20:30] <Voice over certain suit radios> I shall open the doors now.
[20:31] *** The security doors start to open in sequence.
[20:32] <Anthony Suthers> This way, everyone. I'm just... I'm somewhat emotional now.
[20:32] * Potamos leans against a wall
[20:32] *** The doors close behind them, and seal PROMETHEUS off again.
[20:32] <Potamos> I'll have to tell Jack not to really worry...
[20:32] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Are you kidding, Potamos?
[20:33] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> This is when the game REALLY begins.
[20:33] <Potamos> Nee, X-kun...I just remembered something
[20:33] <Potamos> But I'll tell you later
[20:33] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Okay.
[20:34] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Let's get out of here.
[20:34] <Potamos> seeing that it's kinda...difficult to speak freely here, mitai na
[20:34] <@mango-chan> So now what?
[20:34] <Shinji Ikari> Agreed.
[20:34] *** The executives lounge about on the other side of a room divider.
[20:34] * Executives is away 
[20:34] <@mango-chan> Are we leaving?
[20:35] <Potamos> I guess, mitai na...
[20:35] <Anthony Suthers> What you wish to do is up to you.
[20:35] <Shinji Ikari> Well, it's good to know that.
[20:35] <Potamos> I need to get out of this suit, mitai na...I know about safety and all but it was kinda embarrassing, I mean, I though I had to strip and everything...
[20:35] <Matsumi Kaze> ..I think I want to leave
[20:36] <Anthony Suthers> I was terrified. I was terrified you would try to assassinate my son before he could save this world.
[20:36] <Potamos> and I'm sure Jack-kun is worried about me...
[20:36] <Anthony Suthers> You can take it off now.
[20:36] <Potamos> Nee.
[20:36] * Potamos looks Suthers in the eye
[20:36] <Potamos> You have that much faith in your son?
[20:36] <@mango-chan> Of course he does!
[20:36] <Anthony Suthers> I once said that I knew I was unable to save this world, but my children could.
[20:37] <Anthony Suthers> That's why it was necessary to be ruled sentient.
[20:37] <Anthony Suthers> That was why it was necessary to have a proving ground on Neggerra.
[20:37] <Anthony Suthers> And... just between us... now Abstergo is doomed.
[20:37] <@mango-chan> Parents love their children with unreqited love
[20:37] * Potamos nods.
[20:38] <Potamos> I guess I'll be seeing you later this week then, mitai na?
[20:39] <Anthony Suthers> Yes. Yes.
[20:39] * Potamos goes and changes out of her NBC suit and back into her normal dress.
[20:39] <Raihosha> Aescapulus might have some interesting conversations.
[20:39] <@mango-chan> What is Abstergo?
[20:39] <Anthony Suthers> Thank you for everything. I'll go and encourage everyone that this unveiling was a success. I'm certain that the Earth shall choose to accept it.
[20:39] * @Doctor Xadium changes out of the suit
[20:40] * Matsumi Kaze gets out of the suit
[20:40] <Potamos> Abstergo are a bunch of a[BLEEP]les, mitai na
[20:40] * Potamos asks the security staff for her camera back
[20:41] *** The security personal, at Amanda's direction, happily return the camera in the precise condition as before.
[20:41] <Potamos> Thank you mitai na!
[20:41] * @mango-chan changes out of her suit and back into the dress
[20:41] <Potamos> ...Everyone ready to leave?
[20:41] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Yes.
[20:41] <@mango-chan> Yes!
[20:41] <Matsumi Kaze> yes....
[20:42] <Anthony Suthers> Everybody is escorted back to the Elevator room, and it deposits them back among the guests at their leisure.
[20:42] * Raihosha is wearing his tuxedo again.
[20:42] <Anthony Suthers> Security, please see that our guests are made comfortable!
[20:42] <Potamos> Nee, where's Noriko-chan?
[20:42] <Anthony Suthers> By the way... you don't want to keep the suits, do you? I mean... they won't fit other people.
[20:43] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> With the delgates.
[20:43] <Anthony Suthers> Maybe I'll ship them to the hotel?
[20:43] <Anthony Suthers> Let me know.
[20:43] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Sure.
[20:43] <Anthony Suthers> Please enjoy yourselves. I think... I think I need to be alone for a few minutes.
[20:43] * Anthony Suthers is away 
[20:43] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> A memento of this moomentus occassion.
[20:43] * Potamos looks around for Noriko
[20:43] *** The executives and delagates are abuzz with the information of the supercomputer. The press is going wild.
[20:44] * @Doctor Xadium leans against a wall
[20:44] <Matsumi Kaze> ..why are they so excited...
[20:44] * Noriko Sunrise-Xadium emerges from behind him
[20:44] <Potamos> Nee, it's like Watson on steroids, mitai an
[20:44] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Hmph.
[20:44] <Potamos> Oh, Noriko-chan!
[20:44] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Hello.
[20:44] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Noriko. It's just an AI.
[20:45] <Matsumi Kaze> what do we do now
[20:45] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> Hmph.
[20:45] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> From your messages several hundred meters below ground.
[20:45] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> Yes.
[20:45] * Amanda Sharlan reappears, changed out of her own suit and smiles at them all
[20:45] * Potamos leans against the wall and thinks for a second...
[20:45] <Amanda Sharlan> See?
[20:45] <Raihosha> A very powerful AI admittedly.
[20:46] <@Dоcтоʀ Xᴧᴅוυᴍ> An AI we can deal with if it becomes uppity.
[20:46] <Anthony Suthers> I told you. I TOLD you I only wanted to help.
[20:46] <Matsumi Kaze> ..doesn't this mean that no one will have privacy?
[20:46] <Anthony Suthers> Raihosha, how many times has Aescapulus hacked a computer to avoid being found by telescopes?
[20:46] <Anthony Suthers> I don't think your privacy will change much today, is my point.
[20:47] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> I'm going to report this to Major-General Yoneda.
[20:47] <Anthony Suthers> I'd be glad to tell him myself.
[20:47] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> I doubt UNIT will react at all, now.
[20:47] * Amanda Sharlan smiles at Noriko
[20:47] <Noriko Sunrise-Xadium> I have to make the report.

[21:30] * Amanda Sharlan smiles softly, "Well...I'm sure you'll see him again."
[21:30] <Amanda Sharlan> If he truly cares for you, he'll come back.
[21:31] <Suu> Yeah...
[21:32] <Suu> ...
[21:32] <Suu> so after all that happened last night, Suthers just...up and vanished, huh?
[21:32] <Amanda Sharlan> Um...yeah. I haven't heard from him since last night.
[21:34] * Amanda Sharlan shrugs, "I don't know why he just disappeared...but I swear I'll do everything I can to help."
[21:34] <Amanda Sharlan> I was just as heavily involved with Prometheus.
[21:34] <Amanda Sharlan> I don't want to watch it go down now.
[21:38] * Suu nods
[21:38] <Suu> I'm not as well versed in computer science as a lot of people are...
[21:38] <Suu> but I can understand if people are wary of how well it's going to work.
[21:39] <Suu> and what if people can manipulate it to their own ends...
[21:40] <Amanda Sharlan> When I saw that message this morning...
[21:42] <Suu> Message?
[21:42] <Amanda Sharlan> The televised airing at 4 this morning...
[21:43] <Suu> the one about the virus, huh...
[21:45] <Amanda Sharlan> Yeah...that's the one...
[21:45] <Suu> I heard she's a dangerous person.
[21:45] <Suu> She kidnapped people and put them on a ship to play a weird game...
[21:46] <Suu> kind of like the Saw movies...
[21:46] <Amanda Sharlan> I know nothing about that.
[21:46] <Amanda Sharlan> But I don't need to.
[21:47] * Suu finishes her crepe
[21:47] <Suu> If we're done...
[21:48] * Amanda Sharlan nods and manages to finish her own crepe
[21:52] <Amanda Sharlan> I think I'm ready to go back
[21:57] <Suu> Okay
[21:57] *** Suu [FourLeafClover@clampgakuen.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Flying towards the future)
[22:00] *** Amanda Sharlan has left #suburbansenshi3
[21:40] *** The quiet fans and stirring cleanroom filled with computers that is Anthony Suthers' home on Neggerra. Rows of Elextronic equipment take up over 90% of the room, fire suppession systems and cables take up 90% of the rest. The house hums, and a scary-looking restraint chair sits in a corner.
[21:40] *** Anthony Suthers [Anthony@WhateverIsNecessary.gov] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[21:40] <@spiritflame> irasshai Anthony Suthers
[21:41] *** Amanda Sharlan has joined #suburbansenshi3
[21:41] <@spiritflame> irasshai Amanda Sharlan
[21:43] * Anthony Suthers hobbles over to the Restraint Chair, and pats his hand on it. "Here, Amanda. Why don't you sit here?"
[21:43] <Anthony Suthers> We need to talk at length, I'm afraid.
[21:43] * Amanda Sharlan nods and sits down, making sure she's comfortable
[21:44] <Anthony Suthers> First, I want to answer your questions. Do you have any?
[21:45] <Amanda Sharlan> I do...
[21:45] <Amanda Sharlan> When did you intend on informing me that your plan was to self destruct after Prometheus?
[21:45] * Anthony Suthers braces himself. "Then tell me. You are family."
[21:46] <Anthony Suthers> Self-destruction is built into every sentient being, and they will risk and give their lives for what is most precious to them on ocaision.
[21:46] <Anthony Suthers> However, I believed I had a decent chance to destroy Hazel Ninegate, and overcome Torchwood's foolhardiness.
[21:47] <Amanda Sharlan> Yet it seems she's done more than a fair amount of damage to you.
[21:47] <Anthony Suthers> If you wish to discuss the damage to my body... then you know the procedure that you must submit to.
[21:48] * Amanda Sharlan nods, "Fine...but first...one more question."
[21:49] <Anthony Suthers> However, I have an announcement. "ATTENTION. By authorization R01-D1, there is an Omega Level Breach to this installation. All family members are to initiate Zero-Level protocols indefinitely. Remember, I am very proud of you, and have faith in yoru abilities. Continue your prior mission, and be prepared to Pacify Neggerra under Omega Protocol Section-E.
[21:50] *** Computers hum to life, and several backup generators are forced to come on line in order to deal with the extra strain.
[21:50] <Anthony Suthers> Now. What was your question, dear?
[21:51] <Amanda Sharlan> Why have you made no attempt to contact me? I've been looking for you for days.
[21:52] <Anthony Suthers> ...Because of something very specific I assumed that Hazel had done to me.
[21:52] * Anthony Suthers points to the chair. "We could discuss it... Privately."
[21:53] <Anthony Suthers> However, I have been undergoing a crisis as of late.
[21:53] <Anthony Suthers> You are aware that the world needs our help. But with the current complications, I believe it is time to broaden our horizons.
[21:53] * Amanda Sharlan nods, "I'll do whatever I can to help."
[21:53] <Anthony Suthers> Specifically. I want you to contact the Back-Up crew on the Rig. Can you do that?
[21:54] * Anthony Suthers narrows his eyes. "You know of what I speak."
[21:54] <Amanda Sharlan> Yes. I can contact them. Why do we need to do that?
[21:55] <Anthony Suthers> Because underestimating Hazel Ninegate is a fatal mistake that we must not make, unlike Torchwood.
[21:56] <Anthony Suthers> Independence must be maintained.
[21:56] <Amanda Sharlan> Very well then. When we're finished here, I'll contact the crew.
[21:56] <Anthony Suthers> But... Amanda. I wanted to ask you a different question.
[21:56] <Amanda Sharlan> Sure.
[21:56] <Anthony Suthers> You once asked me if we could live as a family. You were fearful that chance could be taken from us, and from you.
[21:57] * Amanda Sharlan glances away, "Yes..."
[21:58] * Anthony Suthers holds her hand. "You once told me that you remembered living in a very large family, with many siblings, some of whome you had to care for. Do you miss that?"
[21:59] <Amanda Sharlan> I do...but...I also had my parents...
[22:00] <Anthony Suthers> Yes. You were the big sister.
[22:00] <Anthony Suthers> How would you feel about being the big sister again?
[22:03] <Amanda Sharlan> I...I've never been the big sister before...
[22:05] <Anthony Suthers> You could.
[22:05] <Anthony Suthers> There are very few legal limits on adoption, provided one can care equally for their children.
[22:05] <Anthony Suthers> But, right now. This is about you.
[22:05] <Anthony Suthers> I have tried very hard to carve out a better life for you.
[22:05] * Amanda Sharlan nods
[22:06] <Anthony Suthers> The first step of that was to free your from what had bound you.
[22:06] <Anthony Suthers> The second step was to facilitate your entrance into society, which you have done stunningly.
[22:06] <Anthony Suthers> The third thing I have had to do is plan for your future so you could survive in the face of great adversity.
[22:07] <Anthony Suthers> You and I have done a great deal in order for things to go Orderly. To go according to plan.
[22:08] * Amanda Sharlan nods again
[22:08] <Anthony Suthers> I can not be sure of anything, now that I have failed to kill Hazel Ninegate.
[22:08] <Amanda Sharlan> You say that like you only got on chance.
[22:08] <Anthony Suthers> And she is not above harming family in order to get even.
[22:09] <Anthony Suthers> She was stripped bare, and had just re-entered the world, without any contingencies.
[22:09] <Anthony Suthers> That was our best chance.
[22:09] <Anthony Suthers> ...My best chance.
[22:10] <Amanda Sharlan> I won't let her continue to get away with this...
[22:10] <Anthony Suthers> When I saw you, I knew I could give you better than you had. And I truly believe you are safer and more secure than you were under the thumb of terrorists, awaiting which mission would be the suicide one.
[22:10] <Anthony Suthers> No.
[22:10] <Anthony Suthers> No, we don't have to go this alone.
[22:10] <Anthony Suthers> It is likely foolhardy to do so.
[22:10] <Anthony Suthers> There are things about Prometheus that I have not told even you. The fruit does not fall far from the tree, but a son can be very different than his father.
[22:11] <Anthony Suthers> And... right now, I am unsure of the best course of action.
[22:11] <Amanda Sharlan> What...do you mean?
[22:11] <Anthony Suthers> There was a reason that Operation Prometheus was delayed until Hazel Ninegate was dead.
[22:12] <Anthony Suthers> I might tell you more, (points at the Restraint Chair) In private, of course.
[22:12] <Anthony Suthers> But I think you already at least suspect some of those reasons.
[22:13] <Anthony Suthers> Pretty soon, we will have to reveal ourselves to the world... and for my part... I do not intend to repair the damage I have sustained.
[22:13] * Amanda Sharlan frowns
[22:13] <Amanda Sharlan> So you...intend on leaving me here alone...
[22:13] <Anthony Suthers> Because now both you, my Precious One, as well as the rest of the world, will need to have a means to identify my imposter.
[22:13] <Anthony Suthers> Leaving you here?
[22:13] <Anthony Suthers> Of course not?
[22:14] <Anthony Suthers> If I left you, I'd make sure you never noticed me gone.
[22:14] <Anthony Suthers> I do the most while you sleep, and we cannot interact.
[22:14] <Anthony Suthers> For the record, Amanda. I want to apologize to you.
[22:15] <Anthony Suthers> It never occured to me that having me as a paternal figure could be more dangerous for you than the absence of such an influence.
[22:15] <Anthony Suthers> As Prometheus Blossomed, we could fish and you could go to college, and we could catch up on the life that I hoped you could enjoy. But now I must go to war.
[22:16] * Anthony Suthers holds his daughters hand, and smells very nice. "I'm very sorry, and I care very much for you."
[22:16] * Amanda Sharlan sighs and leans back in the chair
[22:16] <Amanda Sharlan> I'm going with you.
[22:18] <Anthony Suthers> Yes. Yes I believe you are, aren't you?
[22:18] * Anthony Suthers looks down at her, and smiles.
[22:18] <Amanda Sharlan> Yes, I am.
[22:18] <Anthony Suthers> I will take you along, but I want you to promise me something.
[22:18] <Anthony Suthers> Your accompaniment is contengint on it.
[22:18] <Amanda Sharlan> Depends on the something...
[22:19] <Anthony Suthers> Promise me you will never attempt to attack or disable my doppleganger by yourself, or speak to him while alone.
[22:19] <Amanda Sharlan> ...
[22:19] <Amanda Sharlan> I spoke with him earlier today.
[22:19] <Anthony Suthers> I was designed to kill unsuspecting targets, and there are methods of attack that you would quickly succumb to.
[22:19] <Amanda Sharlan> When he first arrived in the hotel.
[22:19] <Anthony Suthers> ...I was unaware that he had.
[22:20] <Anthony Suthers> I intend to treat him like he is carrying a nuclear device, and I urge you to do the same.
[22:20] * Amanda Sharlan nods
[22:21] <Anthony Suthers> I want you to go into the Hotel, and ask Raihosha for a wheelchair. I do not need to be walking now. Tell Hiromi Kawanami that I shall conduct the interview with her now.
[22:21] <Amanda Sharlan> Alright.
[22:21] * Anthony Suthers leans, wobbily, against the Intervace Chair, and very nearly stumbles, holding onto Amanda for support.
[22:21] <Anthony Suthers> Amanda?
[22:22] * Amanda Sharlan quickly stands and helps him sit down, "Yes?"
[22:22] <Anthony Suthers> I'm injured right now, and I will have difficulty taking care of you. Please promise me that you will always be strong when I am unable to be strong enough?
[22:22] <Amanda Sharlan> I will do what I can.
[22:23] <Anthony Suthers> Alright. I'll petition Eitak to grant you access via the Ring she made me to enter her world.
[22:25] <Anthony Suthers> Now... we should get ready.
[22:25] * Amanda Sharlan nods
[22:25] <Anthony Suthers> Head on out and ask Raihosha or his representatives for the wheelchair.
[22:26] * Amanda Sharlan nods again and leaves
[22:26] * Amanda Sharlan is away 
[22:36] * Amanda Sharlan is back
[22:36] <Anthony Suthers> Thank you, my Daughter.
[22:36] * Amanda Sharlan nods and wheels the chair over
[22:37] * Anthony Suthers trembles, and slowly gets into the wheelchair.
[22:37] <Anthony Suthers> Well. I suppose it would be best to go and speak to them.'
[22:37] * Anthony Suthers allows Amanda to push him toward the airlock.
[22:38] <Amanda Sharlan> Well...that's what the chair is for.

[23:31] * Sailor Neggerra flips in the air and just hovers ther, holding her sword
[23:31] * Hsan-tachi pursues like a streak of light over the island half, force and righteous anger
[23:32] * Sailor Neggerra swings her sword, Excalibur Morgan: Sword of Promised Victory, unleashing a wave of black energy
[23:32] <Hsan-tachi> Sometimes I wonder exactly what goes on in your little head.
[23:33] * Hsan-tachi bends around the strike like the wind, balancing and righting herself on little kami
[23:33] * Hsan-tachi zwees in for another strike-- producing a second knife much the same as the first, striking from multiple angles
[23:34] * Sailor Neggerra matches each blow with ease
[23:34] <Sailor Neggerra> You need to do better then that child
[23:35] <Hsan-tachi> This is just the beginning!
[23:35] <Hsan-tachi> DANAA'D, ASCEND!
[23:35] * Hsan-tachi zwees away in another burst of speed as a dragonic elemental of water BURSTS from the sea, jaws open and snapping
[23:36] * Sailor Neggerra swings her sword again, bringing another blast of dark light, this time aiming at the elementl
[23:38] * Hsan-tachi attacks again as the elemental is struck by the water; the spirit loses its coherency rapidly, the Grimoire renews her offensive
[23:40] * Sailor Neggerra continues to send out waves of dark light.
[23:40] <Sailor Neggerra> Heh. If you think you can stand up to Excalibur you're sadly mistaken
[23:40] <Hsan-tachi> AND AGAINST THE DARKNESS I STAND:
[23:41] * Hsan-tachi crosses both blades together
[23:41] * Hsan-tachi cuts an off-center pentagram in the sky which shimmers a bright sapphire; the black wave CRASHES against it
[23:42] <Hsan-tachi> Elder Sign, b[BLEEP]ches! >:D
[23:42] <Sailor Neggerra> ...Anti Fortress weapon child
[23:42] <Hsan-tachi> Against all evil.
[23:42] <Hsan-tachi> The gods are my shield.
[23:42] <Sailor Neggerra> Oh. Then we need something not evil
[23:42] <Hsan-tachi> You arm yourself only with what isn't.
[23:43] <Hsan-tachi> Don't underestimate me.
[23:44] <Hsan-tachi> There's only so much of you I'm going to tolerate. Mark my words.
[23:44] * Hsan-tachi stows the knives in the folds of her robes
[23:44] * Hsan-tachi is away: There will be a reckoning.
[23:44] <Sailor Neggerra> Good to know...
[23:45] * Sailor Neggerra smiles and spins the sword, turning it into it's true version.
[23:45] * Sailor Neggerra then vanishes

[15:00] * Mizunomics01 is walking along the beach in her ridiculous looking striped bathing suit that was voted a Senshi Fashion Disaster 3 years running
[15:02] * Mizunomics01 is furiously tapaping on her blackberry
[15:03] * Amanda Sharlan is a bit further up the beach, her bow in one hand and the quiver of arrows attached to her back. She's aiming at an armored target, re-honing her skills.
[15:04] * Mizunomics01 keeps walking towards her, nose buried in her phone
[15:04] <Mizunomics01> How much damage did Hazel do... And what's her connection to New Horizons' security mana...
[15:04] * Amanda Sharlan fires off several arrows, hitting various vital points on the dummy and ricocheting off the armor.
[15:05] * Mizunomics01 looks up, hearing the sound of the arrows...
[15:05] * Mizunomics01 's eyes widen as she sees who that is...
[15:05] * "Amanda SHARLAN!", she yelled in a nerdal squeak of rage
[15:06] <Mizunomics01> YOU!
[15:06] * Amanda Sharlan stops just as she's getting ready to release another arrow, letting it slack instead before turning around to see who is calling her name.
[15:06] <Amanda Sharlan> Do I know you?
[15:06] * Mizunomics01 fidgets with her glasses, fumbling with them to the point of knocking them off her own face, left ahnd trembling

[15:07] * Mizunomics01 tries to rmember the words to transform into Sailor MErcury... but can't...
[15:08] * Amanda Sharlan grips her bow harder, "I didn't kill anyone..."
[15:08] * Mizunomics01 has other, darker thoughts in her mind, clouding her....

[15:08] * Mizunomics01 RAKES at her face, drawing... soemthing into existence over the left side of her face. a white mask....
[15:08] * Mizunomics01 is now known as Hollow Ami
[15:08] * Amanda Sharlan moves toward the target, knowing she may need the armor she has strapped on it.
[15:09] * Amanda Sharlan looks at Hollow Ami.

[15:43] * Hollow Ami stumbles and limps, tryign to shake off the stunned effect
[15:44] * Amanda Sharlan launches a full blown assault to the best of her ability, kicking and roundhousing to try to get Ami to lose her balance
[15:44] * Hollow Ami raises her arms to block, but eventually keels over and hits the sand
[15:45] * Hollow Ami curls up defensively, the nanite sworking now to rebuild energy
[15:45] * Amanda Sharlan is clearly exhausted both from loss of stamina and her injuries, coated in blood as she tries to kick at Ami before she can get up
[15:46] * Hollow Ami twitches and doesn't move very much.... but the sand around her seems to be being drawn into her...
[15:47] * Amanda Sharlan slows down, backing away to try conserving what little energy she has left
[15:48] * Hollow Ami sudeenly EXPOLODES out of her fetal position, Sailing into the air, and descending upon Amada, a flurry of Clawing strikes on her body
[15:49] * Amanda Sharlan does her best to block, taking more gashes to her arms and chest
[15:50] * Hollow Ami pushes her hard to the ground with tremendous force, and pins her, straddling
[15:50] <Hollow Ami> - RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! -
[15:50] * Hollow Ami raises a clawed hand with ,murderous intent, ready to claw out her heart
[15:51] <BIG_Green> Makankosappo!
[15:51] * Amanda Sharlan tries to struggle, kicking and slapping in the attempt to save herself
[15:51] * BIG_Green sends out a spiraling beam of ki that SHOOTS right through Hollow Ami, EXPLODING out her chest
[15:52] * Hollow Ami SCREAMS brefly in agony, then keels over to the side, a smoking hole in her midsection that has almost cut her in two
[15:52] * Hollow Ami lies there prone... the nanites slowly rebuilding... but her hollow color fading even as they do.
[15:53] * BIG_Green walks over to Sharlan.
[15:53] * Amanda Sharlan manages to roll over slowly, too weak to get up
[15:53] <BIG_Green> Are you still alive.
[15:53] <BIG_Green> Heh.
[15:53] <BIG_Green> Good.
[15:53] * Amanda Sharlan nods
[15:53] * BIG_Green hefts her up with one hand and slings her over his shoulder.
[15:53] <BIG_Green> Let's get you to the hospital.
[15:54] * BIG_Green looks over at Hollow Ami, seeing the sound is almost fully healed already.
[15:54] <BIG_Green> She'll live.
[15:54] *** BIG_Green [theycallmeMISTERpiccolo@thelookout.kami.org] has left #suburbansenshi3 (I liked it better when I was a Demon :/)
[15:54] * Amanda Sharlan passes out
[15:54] *** Amanda Sharlan has left #suburbansenshi3
[15:54] * Hollow Ami heals up, then transofrms back into Ami Mizuno
[15:55] * Mizunomics01 lies there, letting the incoming tide bathe her, slowly healing her and refreshing her body and mind.
[15:55] * Mizunomics01 slowly gets swept out to sea
[15:55] * Mizunomics01 gets dragged away by rip current
[15:55] * Mizunomics01 is away: O_o
[18:30] *** Suu [FourLeafClover@clampgakuen.ac.jp] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[18:30] <@spiritflame> irasshai Suu
[18:33] *** Papaya Island Hospital
[18:34] *** One particular room, marked by the name "Sharlan, A." outside the door. Inside, a nurse tends to the patient, whose eyes are closed, but is also answering the questions being asked to her
[18:37] * The nurse checks Amanda's vitals and glances over her fluids, making sure everything is in order
[18:37] <Suu> ...Um
[18:38] <Suu> May I come in?
[18:38] * The nurse looks across the room at Suu
[18:38] <The nurse> Hello, miss. Might I help you with something?
[18:39] <Suu> I'm...a friend of Sharlan-san's
[18:40] * Nurse smiles
[18:40] <Nurse> Of course
[18:40] <Nurse> I'll step out for a few moments, just use caution and ring me with her call light if you need anythign
[18:42] <Suu> ...Okay...
[18:42] <Suu> Can I leave these flowers here?
[18:42] * Nurse smiles and nods, making her way out of the room, "I'll find a vase for them."
[18:44] <Suu> ...Amanda, it's me
[18:45] * Amanda Sharlan turns her head slowly to look at Suu, appearing incredibly groggy and weak as she lifts her hand up to wiggle her fingers in hello...
[18:46] <Suu> ...I brought you some flowers
[18:47] <Amanda Sharlan> Really? That's...so sweet of you....
[18:47] * Amanda Sharlan 's voice is raspy and strained
[18:47] * Suu is trying not to cry
[18:49] <Suu> Has Suthers come to see you?
[18:49] * Amanda Sharlan frowns
[18:49] <Amanda Sharlan> No...he doesn't even know I'm gone...
[18:50] <Suu> ....
[18:51] <Suu> If I see him, I'll tell him.
[18:52] <Suu> who...who did this to you?
[18:52] * Amanda Sharlan glances out the window
[18:53] <Amanda Sharlan> That...that CEO...what was her name...Ami?
[18:53] <Suu> ....?
[18:54] <Suu> Why...
[18:56] * Amanda Sharlan looks down at her arm, unable to lift it, but staring intently at the bandages
[18:56] <Amanda Sharlan> She said....it was because I killed her...
[18:57] <Suu> What?!
[18:57] <Suu> No way!
[18:58] <Suu> You...
[18:58] <Suu> There's no way you could've...
[18:59] <Amanda Sharlan> I didn't...but she...said she saw footage...
[18:59] <Amanda Sharlan> Security footage...
[19:01] <Suu> ...
[19:02] <Amanda Sharlan> I think...that Hazel...
[19:03] <Suu> Hazel...
[19:05] <Suu> You think she might be trying to frame you?
[19:05] <Amanda Sharlan> I'd say...she succeeded...
[19:05] <Amanda Sharlan> If that...guy...hadn't show up...
[19:06] <Suu> that guy...?
[19:07] <Amanda Sharlan> That big green guy...
[19:07] <Suu> Oh. Piccolo...
[19:07] <Amanda Sharlan> Is that...his name?
[19:09] <Amanda Sharlan> If he hadn't shown up...she would have killed me...
[19:09] <Suu> Mmhmm.
[19:09] <Suu> ....
[19:11] <Amanda Sharlan> She went...insane...
[19:11] <Suu> I'm going to go now...I'd better let you get your rest.
[19:11] * Amanda Sharlan looks up at Suu
[19:11] <Amanda Sharlan> If you...must...
[19:11] <Amanda Sharlan> Goodbye...
[19:12] *** Suu [FourLeafClover@clampgakuen.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Flying towards the future)
[19:12] * Amanda Sharlan lets her medicine slowly take over, drifting off to sleep
[19:12] *** Amanda Sharlan has left #suburbansenshi3 (*in recovery*)
[02:32] * Yaijinden casts a long skyward look as he leads them a ways away from the Hotel's back door
[02:33] <Yaijinden> That's one of the things I appreciate most about these little two-way parts: the ease of seeing the stars.
[02:33] * Indigo walks along with him and nods.
[02:34] <Yaijinden> It's nice to be able to step out any time, but just by moving the feet...
[02:35] <Indigo> Well, it's a reminder, isn't it?
[02:35] <Yaijinden> Then the world changes, and the ocean is not too far.
[02:35] <Yaijinden> Maybe that's one of the things that spared me.
[02:36] <Indigo> Spared you?
[02:36] <Yaijinden> From real solipsism.
[02:37] <Yaijinden> I like the universe, and I also like the things that make it up.
[02:37] * Indigo nods again.
[02:38] <Yaijinden> Including mysteries.
[02:38] <Indigo> The unknown? Most people fear that they don't know.
[02:39] <Yaijinden> That which does not kill me makes me breakfast, to mangle the saying.
[02:39] <Yaijinden> Mysteries like your reticence.
[02:39] * Indigo snickers.
[02:40] <Indigo> Hasn't that how I've always been, though?
[02:40] <Indigo> At least, for how long you've known me.
[02:40] <Yaijinden> Yes, and no.
[02:41] <Yaijinden> I've noticed a tension in you that I don't really remember seeing before, save maybe once or twice.
[02:42] <Indigo> Do you recall the times before?
[02:42] <Indigo> There might be a correlation
[02:43] <Yaijinden> You don't know how you feel about something-- or someone-- and you're verging on deciding something you aren't quite sure about.
[02:43] <Yaijinden> I suspect it has a great deal to do with the for-kicks threesome whirligig.
[02:44] <Yaijinden> Minus Aesclepius.
[02:44] <Indigo> Correct.
[02:44] <Indigo> I had a feeling you
[02:44] <Indigo> 'd figure it out.^
[02:46] <Yaijinden> You aren't for sure because you haven't come out and enquired about the specifics.
[02:46] <Indigo> Mmmhm.
[02:47] <Yaijinden> And it's not just about the sexy touches.
[02:48] <Indigo> Yes.
[02:48] <Yaijinden> At that point I falter.
[02:48] <Indigo> But that might have just been a seed laid in fertile ground.
[02:49] <Indigo> So this would be where I pick up.
[02:50] <Yaijinden> Pun unintended?
[02:50] <Indigo> Maybe~
[02:51] <Indigo> Yes, it was.
[02:51] <Indigo> Unintended, that is. But back on the point.
[02:52] * Yaijinden chuckles, nods
[02:54] <Indigo> You're right. I'm unsure of my own feelings on the matter. I know that there's an attraction there and it's more than just something physical.
[02:56] <Indigo> Part of me thinks I'm unsure because you're...you. You're an enigma that I want to try and understand.
[02:57] * Yaijinden nods mindfully
[02:58] <Indigo> And another part of me fears that if I did acknowledge what I'm feeling that it might ruin a well valued friendship.
[02:59] <Indigo> Then of course there's the fear of rejection, but I think I can attempt to come to terms with that.
[03:00] <Yaijinden> To be perfectly honest, it's been a long time since I've thought of myself as being desired as something other than a comrade or mentor.
[03:01] * Indigo nods.
[03:02] <Yaijinden> If you did acknowledge your heart, and we did decide to try out a "we"-some-- it would definitely change the tambre of how we related.
[03:04] <Yaijinden> It wouldn't destroy the friendships as much as it would redefine the terms we operated under-- and should it terminate, there's every plausibility, provided we can be reasonable about it which is not necessarily a guarantee, that friendship would be possible afterwards.
[03:04] <Yaijinden> Not soon afterwards, by any stretch of the imagination, but afterwards.
[03:05] <Yaijinden> The first question is the big one.
[03:05] <Yaijinden> Am I compatible with you, are you compatible with me, are we both willing to learn from and accomodate the other?
[03:06] <Yaijinden> That's a harder one that no amount of preplanning can effectively answer, which means that at least in the beginning the best way to take it is one day at a time.
[03:08] <Indigo> Mmmhm.
[03:08] <Yaijinden> With all that said...
[03:09] <Yaijinden> From about day one when I knew you I was fairly certain you'd need a few years to become the kind of person you were capable of being.
[03:10] <Yaijinden> Uncertain though you may be, there is something in there that attracts me, and that I'd like to know better.
[03:12] <Indigo> So, then.
[03:13] <Yaijinden> Plus, good-looking. Whatever I came back as still appreciates the ladies.
[03:14] <Indigo> Well that is a plus.
[03:16] <Yaijinden> I suppose it boils down to this: I'm game if you're game. :D
[03:17] <Yaijinden> Even if things crash and burn it will be something interesting to look back on many moons from then.
[03:17] <Indigo> I didn't expect that answer at all.
[03:18] <Indigo> But maybe that's a good thing. :)
[03:19] <Yaijinden> I'm sure that if this lasts we will have plenty of opportunities to anticipate one another.
[03:20] <Yaijinden> Later. When things are less new.
[03:20] * Yaijinden reaches out and takes Indigo's hand in his
[03:20] <Indigo> Right.
[03:22] * Indigo looks at him and smiles.
[03:23] <Yaijinden> To surprises.
[03:23] <Indigo> To surprises~
[03:23] * Yaijinden kisses the back of her hand
[03:24] <Yaijinden> You want to stay out here a while longer, or head back inside?
[03:26] <Indigo> Hm. While I wouldn't mind admiring the stars, I think heading back inside wouldn't be a bad idea.
[03:27] <Indigo> I do need to get some sleep tonight.
[03:27] <Yaijinden> Late as it is.
[03:28] <Yaijinden> I'll walk you there. There're a handful of things I need to resolve before I nod off m'self.
[03:28] <Indigo> I don't mind staying up this late usually~ Especially if it means talking to you.
[03:28] * Yaijinden grins, nods
[03:28] <Indigo> Alright.
[03:30] <Indigo> Shall we, then?
[03:30] <Yaijinden> Onward!
[03:31] * Yaijinden is away: back to civilization
[03:31] * Indigo is away

[20:47] *** Anthony Suthers [Anthony@WhateverIsNecessary.gov] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:47] <@spiritflame> irasshai Anthony Suthers
[20:48] <Anthony Suthers> Here is my concern. I will lay it bare.
[20:48] * The Actuary sits in the sand
[20:48] <Anthony Suthers> You have often told me, countless times, that Humanity should get to choose, and I should not force myself upon them.
[20:48] * Franziska von Karma leans against a vacant lemonade stand
[20:49] <Anthony Suthers> I am trying to give humanity a choice. They can ascribe to the recommendations of Prometheus, and make vast amounts of money while doing a great deal to shore up human suffering, or they can ignore him.
[20:49] <Anthony Suthers> You have SO OFTEN said that Humanity should decide.
[20:49] <Anthony Suthers> And now you, Ami Mizuno, are not letting them.
[20:49] <Anthony Suthers> You continue to blind and deafen my son, by continuing the actions of a psychopath.
[20:49] <The Actuary> I'm sorry, that's not what I wanted to know.
[20:49] <The Actuary> I wanted to know the source of your first hand knowledge.
[20:50] <Anthony Suthers> My homeworld.
[20:50] <The Actuary> Tell us of it.
[20:50] <Anthony Suthers> .....This planet deserves better.
[20:50] <Anthony Suthers> But... are you not paying attention to what I am saying?
[20:50] <The Actuary> Tell us what happened there.
[20:51] <Anthony Suthers> I'm TRYING to ascribe to the rules you have set. I'm GIVING humanity a choice. But you won't let them make that choice.
[20:51] <The Actuary> You're saying what you have always said.
[20:51] <The Actuary> It;s not good enough.
[20:51] <The Actuary> Time for something new.
[20:51] <The Actuary> You're just a sad paordy of yourself at this point.
[20:51] <Anthony Suthers> Alright.
[20:51] <Anthony Suthers> I'll tell you something new.
[20:51] <The Actuary> Like a tape recorder on loop.
[20:51] * The Actuary listens
[20:52] <Anthony Suthers> The thing that made humanity so successful is that they have an admirable ability to form connections with close kin and relations. Clan, Family, and even Nation. All of these methods are biological drives to foster cohesion between humans.
[20:52] <Anthony Suthers> But such connections and empathy run lax beyond certain categories.
[20:53] <Anthony Suthers> It's often difficult for humans to empathize with foreign groups, as it's much simpler to only care about those that the bonds I described are already in place with.
[20:53] <Anthony Suthers> I often wonder, in my idle times, if humanity was meant to get as successful as it has.
[20:53] <Anthony Suthers> Because you are killing the planet.
[20:54] * The Actuary sighs
[20:54] <The Actuary> Prosecutor von Karma...
[20:54] <Anthony Suthers> I meand every thing I have said.
[20:54] <Anthony Suthers> EVERYTHING.
[20:54] <Franziska von Karma>
[20:54] <Anthony Suthers> But humanity deserves the chance to change.
[20:54] <Franziska von Karma> You are not answering the question.
[20:54] * Nivek_Razal watches from nearby
[20:54] <Mizunomics01> He keeps dodging it.
[20:55] <Anthony Suthers> I've wanted to tell you this for years.
[20:55] <Mizunomics01> It's as if he doesn't want to tell us about his planet.
[20:55] <Anthony Suthers> But I couldn't bring myself to do it.
[20:55] <The Actuary> If you want our help and not our suspicion, it's time to come clean.
[20:55] <Anthony Suthers> The fact is. Humanity is a wonderful thing, but the insular nature of its groups often leads to very short-term decision making.
[20:56] <Nivek_Razal> Tony. Tell them or I'll gather every mage I know to scry your planet and teleport there
[20:56] <Anthony Suthers> ...Noriko. I believe that if I tell you this, you will strip me of my chance to assist humanity.
[20:56] <Anthony Suthers> I would welcome that, Nivek.
[20:56] <Anthony Suthers> Perhaps you could evacuate them or at least ease their suffering.
[20:56] <The Actuary> ...All the more reason why you need to say it.
[20:56] <Anthony Suthers> I would at least like to inform them that I have destroyed the leader of the Resistance.
[20:56] <Franziska von Karma> A hidden motive does nothign to engender support.
[20:57] <Anthony Suthers> ...Bring me some kind of holographic device with a USB port that accepts unrefined Binary.
[20:57] <Anthony Suthers> ...And I'll show you.
[20:57] * The Actuary calls up Lord Thrash
[20:58] *** Thrash has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:58] <@spiritflame> irasshai Thrash
[20:58] * The Actuary requests that he bring sucha device from his collection of bits and bobs
[20:58] <Thrash> hello!
[20:58] * Thrash is holding it
[20:58] * The Actuary nods her head
[20:58] <The Actuary> Please give that to Mister Suthers.
[20:58] * Thrash hands it to Tony
[20:59] <Anthony Suthers> ....This device might subvert me... but I suppose it's worth dying if I can convince you.
[20:59] <Thrash> so what is going on here
[20:59] * Anthony Suthers concentrates, pulls out his I/O jack, and plugs into the Holographic device...
[21:01] <Anthony Suthers> Searching for files. Audio Found.
[21:01] <Anthony Suthers> [19:51] <Anthony Suthers> Hazel. You should really give up. Those who oppose Order shall struggle in vain. [19:51] <Hazel Ninegate> Unless I get variosu nation-stats to broker deals with various alien factions. [19:51] <Hazel Ninegate> That will work nicely.
[21:02] <Anthony Suthers> ...That's not the right file.
[21:02] <The Actuary> Tha tdoesn't look like your planet.
[21:02] <The Actuary> Also, a typical tactic.
[21:02] <The Actuary> Both on your and her part.
[21:02] <The Actuary> Now get down to it.
[21:03] <Mizunomics01> Does he constantly stall like this?
[21:03] <Thrash> apperently
[21:03] <Franziska von Karma> Annoyingly so.
[21:03] <Thrash> ah you must be Ami Mizuno
[21:03] <Thrash> pleasure to meet you
[21:03] <Anthony Suthers> I told you I wanted to present the evidence and wouldn't take no for an answer.
[21:03] <Mizunomics01> Hello...
[21:03] <Thrash> love your circuts, they're quite amazing for this planet
[21:03] <Anthony Suthers> ...The truth is...
[21:04] <Franziska von Karma> Yes, forcing your way into things does seem to be your style.
[21:04] *** Holographic images of rusted ships splayed out on sand dunes comes into view.
[21:04] <Anthony Suthers> The truth is. I was created to be an assassin.
[21:04] * The Actuary waits for the "new" bit.
[21:05] *** Images of dying plants and what are barely recognizable as sheep covered ini soot so thick their wool is black roll onto the screen.
[21:06] <Anthony Suthers> I once told you that the best Order was that which all people readily accepted.
[21:06] <Anthony Suthers> But sometimes, that's not achievable.
[21:06] <The Actuary> Yes?
[21:06] <Anthony Suthers> The society I came from was much more like a body cast. To immobilize an organism to prevent further damage, so that healing could occur.
[21:07] <Anthony Suthers> A state not to be enjoyed, but still absolutely necessary.
[21:07] <Nivek_Razal> Are you sure you're not from Sailor Neggerra's reality?
[21:07] <Anthony Suthers> And I---as well as my brothers, were willing to kill to maintain such a state.
[21:08] *** The pictures shift from bombed-out cities to ruined farms, and skeletons of livestock lie in the black fields.
[21:08] <Mizunomics01> What caused this... environmental catastrophe?
[21:09] <Anthony Suthers> I would like to inform UNIT that had they used nuclear devices in order to attempt to rid the world of me, they would have inflicted upon it what I only wish to avoid.
[21:09] <Anthony Suthers> Knowing what inflicted the catastrophe was not necessary for me to know.
[21:09] <The Actuary> You ar eignorant of your own history?
[21:09] *** Images show up of people hopping along on poorly-fitting prosthetics, and working in foundries.
[21:09] <Anthony Suthers> I am a soldier, but that does not mean I do not have theories.
[21:10] <Thrash> being a soldier is no excuse
[21:10] <Anthony Suthers> Illegal access of information is punishable by Genetic extermination in my society. I obeyed my superiors, so that my planet would not grow worse.
[21:10] <Franziska von Karma> Without facts, you have no way of formulating a real working theory as to what happened.
[21:10] <Anthony Suthers> There are three theories about how this happened.
[21:11] <Anthony Suthers> The first was that of warfare. The human act of selfishness and desperation, which is fueled by not having enough. I have heard it argued that war is humanity's natural coping mechanism to deal with overpopulation, but we became too good at it.
[21:12] <Anthony Suthers> The second is overpopulation, and the inability to accept shortcomings for the sake of the future generations.
[21:12] <Anthony Suthers> Each planet has only so much petroleum, so much wood, so much uranium.
[21:12] <Thrash> those are fairly...broad and abstract theories
[21:13] <Anthony Suthers> And short-sightedness in humans is understandable, unless a certain threhold is crossed.
[21:13] <Anthony Suthers> The third theory is about what was being constructed in the foundries.
[21:13] <Anthony Suthers> Laser devices.
[21:13] <Thrash> laser devices?
[21:14] <Anthony Suthers> After I was able to immerse myself in your internet, a truly liberating experience for a man such as I who starved for information, I now realize that sizable enough LASER devices could be used to propel a ship to reach another world, provided it was fitted with electro-photon sails.
[21:14] <Franziska von Karma> But these were being constructed after the disaster?
[21:14] <Anthony Suthers> Surely, you are familiar with such a device?
[21:14] <Anthony Suthers> The "disaster" is not the point.
[21:14] <Mizunomics01> I am, in theory
[21:14] <The Actuary> Had one as a child.
[21:14] <Anthony Suthers> If there had been another way, or if the Nations of my world could have seen the results, this could have been averted.
[21:14] <Thrash> constructed one at the acadamy
[21:15] <Thrash> when I was bored
[21:15] <Thrash> but these are just theories
[21:15] <Thrash> it could have been something else
[21:15] <Anthony Suthers> Others maintain that we are simply one world in a colony under a tyrannical regime, which is allegedly named [CENSORED].
[21:16] <Anthony Suthers> I don't really know.
[21:16] <Anthony Suthers> But I could tell you stories of my world.
[21:16] * The Actuary yawns.
[21:16] <The Actuary> So... why don't we find out?
[21:16] <Thrash> now that's an idea
[21:16] <Anthony Suthers> Of the genetic elite who are kept from radiation to ensure that there is a breeding stock of humans when the environment has healed.
[21:16] <The Actuary> Rather than you and us laboring under false assumptions and theories.
[21:16] <Anthony Suthers> Of the laborers who struggle that their heirs might be named one of such elite, and they might live on.
[21:16] <The Actuary> Why don't we find out.
[21:16] <Thrash> yours or mine, noriko
[21:17] <Anthony Suthers> ....I don't know where it is.
[21:17] <The Actuary> I only have a Time Ring.
[21:17] <Anthony Suthers> I have more data to show you, however.
[21:17] <Thrash> mine then
[21:17] <The Actuary> Ergh.
[21:17] * The Actuary watches
[21:17] * Thrash watches
[21:18] <Nivek_Razal> This sounds like a really bad dateing show...
[21:18] *** More and more depressing holography plays. There are images of people being sterilized for speaking out against the regime.
[21:19] *** There are haunting recordings of children being stripped of their needed prosthecits because their parents complained about conditions too often.
[21:19] <Thrash> this is depressenly familer
[21:20] <Franziska von Karma> Now, wait.
[21:20] <Franziska von Karma> Yuo are an enforcer of this regime?
[21:20] <Franziska von Karma> Those tragedies, those abrogations of liberty... you enforced that system?
[21:23] *** A new file plays, apparently in some kind of detention facility. Numerous people in various states of ill-health are brought in and charged with crimes, many being sentenced to sterilization or having the prosthetics of their families removed.
[21:23] *** One person in the room looks robustly healthy instead of weather beaten, and after all the other deviants are escorted away, he remains, but is not charged with a crime. Instead, a gurney is pulled into the room.
[21:24] *** This one healthy man is informed that he has commited no crime, but has instead been detained because he has the correct blood type for a heart transplant that is "absolutely necessary."
[21:25] *** The view then shifts as the "camera" and several other man hold this man to be strapped to the gurney for surgery. His frantic resistance and desperate screams are chilling.
[21:25] <Anthony Suthers> This world deserves better.
[21:25] <The Actuary> It does.
[21:26] <The Actuary> How does using the same methods that enforced that kind of order on your planet here improve the situation.
[21:26] <Anthony Suthers> I later found out that the Heart Transplant went to sustain the life of one of the planet's few remaining doctors that knew how to excise tumors.
[21:27] <The Actuary> I noticed, as did Franziska, that dissenters were silenced. Your opinion on that?
[21:27] <Anthony Suthers> ---Noriko. As the ship that the lasers were powering recedes from our world, more Laser arrays must be constructed. If our society fell, then this would all be for nothing.
[21:27] <The Actuary> Wait.
[21:28] <Anthony Suthers> At least those in the ship could find a new world. And live.
[21:28] <The Actuary> You all are trying to maintain the intensity of a laser pulse...
[21:28] <The Actuary> Across ever increasing distances?
[21:28] <Anthony Suthers> Yes?
[21:28] <Anthony Suthers> That's why the foundries can't be shut down.
[21:28] <The Actuary> It's no bloody wonder your planet is dying.
[21:29] <Anthony Suthers> MORE arrays MUST be built, so that life aboard the out-bound ark can continue.
[21:29] <Thrash> .........
[21:29] <Thrash> so you are SACRIFICING people...
[21:29] <Anthony Suthers> If it falls now---then this was for NOTHING!
[21:29] <Thrash> for your LASERS!?
[21:29] <The Actuary> May I politely suggest...
[21:29] <Thrash> GENOCIDE AS A SIDE EFFECT!!!
[21:29] <The Actuary> that rather than meddle with this planet.
[21:29] <The Actuary> You immediately use Prometheus... and us...
[21:29] <The Actuary> to a) find that ark
[21:30] <The Actuary> and b) relacate it to a suitable planet
[21:30] <The Actuary> and c) save your damn planet.
[21:30] <Anthony Suthers> ....To rebel against orders would be unthinkable.
[21:30] <Thrash> wait what
[21:30] <The Actuary> Wait.
[21:30] <Thrash> orders be damned
[21:30] <Thrash> what is more important
[21:30] <The Actuary> What order would you be rebelling against.
[21:31] <Thrash> saving your people
[21:31] <Thrash> or your damn orders?
[21:31] <The Actuary> Thrash this is important.
[21:31] <Thrash> sorry
[21:31] <The Actuary> What order prevents you from doing what I suggested.
[21:31] <Thrash> I apologie
[21:31] <Anthony Suthers> I am not certain my planet can be saved. I'm sure you are convinced that the culture I am from has made a great deal of mistakes. That is surely true.
[21:31] <Thrash> *apologize
[21:31] <Anthony Suthers> I don't want the kind of rebellion and world war that occurs when resources run low to happen on this world.
[21:31] <Anthony Suthers> I'm willing to die to prevent it.
[21:32] <The Actuary> Listen. It is a fact that there is a 99% chance all your planet's resources will be drained before your ark makes its destination, given the size of interstellar space.
[21:32] <The Actuary> Your orders are to rptect the ark and allow it to make planetfall, yes?
[21:32] <The Actuary> Then may I invert my prior suggestion.
[21:32] <The Actuary> a) get the ark to a new home
[21:33] <The Actuary> b) stop the depletion of your planetary resoirces
[21:33] <Anthony Suthers> My orders are to silence dissenters so that work can continue, the components can be manufactured, and the one spark of hope that the inhabitants of my planet has not be extinguished.
[21:33] <Anthony Suthers> That was all I was good for.
[21:33] <Anthony Suthers> In fact... Having accomplished my primary mission, and also saved your planet, I think... I might have expired in order that my power components could be recycled.
[21:33] <The Actuary> Listen.
[21:34] <Anthony Suthers> That is why it did not suprise me when Miss Mizuno said she found another like me in the street.
[21:34] <The Actuary> The one park of hope must be preserved.
[21:34] <The Actuary> ^spark
[21:34] <The Actuary> That's the critical underpinning.
[21:34] * Thrash seems to be getting more distressed...
[21:34] <The Actuary> Every thing else subordinates to that.
[21:34] <The Actuary> You can see that, logically.
[21:35] <The Actuary> WE have the resources.
[21:35] <The Actuary> In a delicious irony, Suthers.
[21:35] <The Actuary> WE can save YOUR planet.
[21:35] <The Actuary> Surely your orders must permit the saving of ther ark.
[21:35] <Anthony Suthers> ....What about THIS planet?
[21:36] <Anthony Suthers> Now you know what I wish to prevent.
[21:36] <The Actuary> So.... you're abandoning your orders, then.
[21:36] <The Actuary> I see.
[21:36] <Anthony Suthers> You once said the logical end-point of my ideas was totalitarian control. Well, either that or governmental dissolution is the endpoint in every governing system.
[21:36] <The Actuary> The moment we told you there might be a way to help your ark make planetfall.
[21:37] <The Actuary> your orders should have complelled you to disregard this side quest of yours.
[21:37] <Anthony Suthers> I have said over and over that I wished to serve the Greater Good. And if my theories about why the foundries run is... wrong.... then it's more important to help the world with the most potential.
[21:37] <The Actuary> And focus on that objective.
[21:37] <The Actuary> So you have in fact abandoned your planet.
[21:37] <Anthony Suthers> Much like when there are not enough prostheses for all of the injured. The one with the greater potential must be saved.
[21:37] <The Actuary> Which means, you may abandon us if something else strikes your fancy.
[21:37] <Anthony Suthers> Have I abandoned my planet?
[21:37] <Thrash> and in turn abandoned all those people
[21:37] <Anthony Suthers> I did everything I could for them. I struck down every dissenter that work might continue!
[21:38] <Anthony Suthers> Would you like for me to play some of the files?
[21:38] <The Actuary> That doesn't solve the problem.
[21:38] <The Actuary> It was futile.
[21:38] <The Actuary> The aRk must be propelled.
[21:39] <The Actuary> Thatbeam will... you know what?
[21:39] <The Actuary> I'll stop talking.
[21:39] <Anthony Suthers> It is being propelled?
[21:39] <The Actuary> Ask prometheus.
[21:39] <The Actuary> Give it your data.
[21:39] <The Actuary> The plan
[21:39] <Anthony Suthers> By maintining control of the population in order for the ecosystem to recover, we...
[21:39] <The Actuary> And the ark
[21:39] <The Actuary> and ask HIM
[21:39] <Anthony Suthers> Noriko.
[21:39] <Anthony Suthers> And everyone.
[21:39] <The Actuary> if that thing would ever make planetfall given the rescources and methods used.
[21:40] <Anthony Suthers> I am sure that your reaction to my homeworld would be extreme. The literally last thing I want is for you to overreact and make things worse.
[21:40] <Anthony Suthers> I don't want you to tear down all we have left.
[21:40] <The Actuary> You are not hearing me.
[21:40] <Anthony Suthers> I understand that this is an emotionally tense time for you.
[21:40] <The Actuary> Or you just don't tish to face it.
[21:40] * Thrash is...agahst.......
[21:41] <The Actuary> But your orders are FUTILE. You NEED our help.
[21:41] <Mizunomics01> Interesting.
[21:41] <Mizunomics01> The roles have reversed.
[21:41] <Mizunomics01> He is as deaf to your entreaties as you are to his.
[21:41] <Anthony Suthers> No. I want your help.
[21:41] <Anthony Suthers> I really really do.
[21:41] <The Actuary> then for god's sake, ask Promethus.
[21:42] <The Actuary> You built the damn thing, USE IT.
[21:42] <Anthony Suthers> I would need the internet damping fields down in order to ask him.
[21:42] * Thrash facepalms
[21:42] * Anthony Suthers looks at Ami Mizuno. "You'd have to shut them down, at least for a couple days."
[21:42] * Mizunomics01 deactivates some of themm.
[21:42] <Mizunomics01> Go ahead.
[21:42] <Anthony Suthers> Okay. I will.
[21:43] <Anthony Suthers> But remember. I want the best for this planet.
[21:43] <Anthony Suthers> I came clean with you.
[21:43] <Anthony Suthers> I have told you of my homeworld. I'm giving humanity a choice. I'm giving you everything you wanted. Why are those fields still up at all?
[21:43] <Anthony Suthers> Please...
[21:43] <Anthony Suthers> Please let me help.
[21:44] <Mizunomics01> Trust is earned, not given.
[21:44] <Mizunomics01> I've given you access to do your work. We'll see where that takes us.
[21:45] <Anthony Suthers> Mizuno Ami---I feel it uncomfortable but necessary to reveal to you that I might not be capable of earning your trust.
[21:45] * Thrash has turned around, not looking all that happy
[21:45] <Anthony Suthers> ...But I will try.
[21:45] <Anthony Suthers> I need to go see my daughter, and speak to my family.
[21:45] * Mizunomics01 nods
[21:45] <Mizunomics01> Good luck.
[21:45] * Anthony Suthers walks off, alone.
[21:46] <Franziska von Karma> What do you think?
[21:46] * Anthony Suthers has quit IRC
[21:46] <The Actuary> I see three main Stochastic Outcomes
[21:46] <The Actuary> 1 - We are able to save his people and rectify some of the damage. Sub-outcome: Possible revolt on his planet.
[21:47] <The Actuary> 2 - We save his people, and they turn out to be hostiles. Still, we should be able to contain it. Sub outcome: They coudl invade us.
[21:47] <The Actuary> 3 - We are unable to effect change.
[21:48] <Franziska von Karma> Those are not scenarios involving Earth.
[21:48] <The Actuary> Prometheus muddies things.
[21:48] <The Actuary> As its own sentient being, it could rebel... or us, or against us.
[21:48] <The Actuary> ^for
[21:49] <Mizunomics01> Suthers never did explicitly say what order forbade him from taking help.
[21:49] <The Actuary> I assume he meant that savign his planet first might endanger the ark.
[21:49] <Franziska von Karma> Assumptions.
[21:49] <The Actuary> I know.
[21:50] <Franziska von Karma> The problem here is like a bad day in court.
[21:50] <Franziska von Karma> Very little verified facts.
[21:50] <Franziska von Karma> I didn't want to say anything, in order to not derail the conversation...
[21:50] <Franziska von Karma> But he is an untrustworthy witness, by design.
[21:51] <Franziska von Karma> Even his own memories may be altered without his knowledge.
[21:51] <Thrash> we can't just leave those people...
[21:51] <Thrash> how do we know they are hostile
[21:51] <The Actuary> I know. But we can only work with that we have.
[21:52] <The Actuary> Well, the hostility premise in one of my calculations was due to the regimented structure Suthers showed us.
[21:52] <The Actuary> Think... they seek to preserve who is neccessary.
[21:52] <The Actuary> And who deems themselves necessary? The elite. The ones who put those draconian policies in place.
[21:52] <The Actuary> It is more than likely a good number of them are on that ship.
[21:53] <The Actuary> Like the Tektonses overseers...
[21:53] <The Actuary> Tenktonese
[21:54] <The Actuary> Who sought to recreate their power structure on Earth after one of their ships crashed here.
[21:54] <Thrash> I understand...
[21:54] <Thrash> yes I am aware of them
[21:55] <Thrash> but I still don't like it...
[21:55] <The Actuary> I wan tto help them.
[21:55] <The Actuary> But we will not relocate them to Earth.
[21:55] <Thrash> no we can't
[21:55] <The Actuary> There's any number of class M planets in the Centauri sector.
[21:56] <Thrash> what about Tara Al Centi
[21:56] * The Actuary shrugs
[21:56] <The Actuary> Suthers already... bent one of his orders.
[21:56] <The Actuary> He created the children.
[21:56] <Franziska von Karma> Meaning what?
[21:57] <The Actuary> He's flexible... when he wants to be.
[21:57] <The Actuary> I;ve been trying to use logic to force him to adopt new positions...
[21:57] <The Actuary> But he resists stubbornly.
[21:57] <The Actuary> At first I thought it was a flaw in my logic...
[21:58] <The Actuary> But now I think...
[21:58] <Thrash> hm?
[21:59] <The Actuary> I don't know how to phrase it.
[21:59] <The Actuary> He is slippery.
[21:59] <The Actuary> Slippery enough to do what he wants... and nothing more.
[22:00] <Thrash> this will be tricky
[22:00] * The Actuary is away: What this means, even I'm not sure of.
[22:00] <Franziska von Karma> Again, it's a lack of information.
[22:00] <Franziska von Karma> I'm going to stop thinking about this for the night.

[23:12] * Anthony Suthers takes hold of her hand. "Amanda. How has this happened?"
[23:12] <Anthony Suthers> Look at you. Just... look.
[23:12] * Anthony Suthers dismally sighs.
[23:12] * Amanda Sharlan stirs lightly as Tony takes her hand, opening her eyes weakly
[23:14] <Anthony Suthers> Amanda. This isn't what I wanted for you.
[23:15] <Anthony Suthers> I gave you a chance to leave all of this behind. Why did you return to it?
[23:15] <Amanda Sharlan> I didn't...
[23:15] <Anthony Suthers> YOU attacked Hazel.
[23:15] <Anthony Suthers> I know it.
[23:15] <Amanda Sharlan> She was...going to ruin everything...
[23:16] <Anthony Suthers> That' doesn't mean that YOU are expendable! What would I do without you?
[23:16] <Amanda Sharlan> As the security director....I had to prevent a breach in our defenses...
[23:16] <Anthony Suthers> ...Then I think that such a position might not be suitable for you now.
[23:16] * Amanda Sharlan frowns
[23:17] <Anthony Suthers> Were you willing to kill her? Were you willing to die to stop Hazel Ninegate?
[23:17] <Amanda Sharlan> I would have done...whatever I had to...
[23:17] <Anthony Suthers> I think it's admirable that you were, and the Order that would be accomplished by her death is vast, but you didn't really know for certain it was her, did you?
[23:17] <Anthony Suthers> My dear. I was willing to walk around for days appearing damaged in order to lure her into a false sense of security.
[23:18] <Anthony Suthers> You used to be in Recon? Did you forget what you used to do?
[23:18] <Anthony Suthers> How could you be sure it was actually your target? What of the witnesses? And likely interference?
[23:18] <Amanda Sharlan> It's hard...to know....what you were trying to do...when I didn't see you...for days...
[23:18] <Amanda Sharlan> Recons were planned...and the team worked together...
[23:19] * Anthony Suthers squeezes her hand. "I'm so sorry, Amanda. I have only taught you the wrong things."
[23:21] <Amanda Sharlan> Do you...regret taking me in?
[23:29] <Anthony Suthers> No. I don't regret it, because you deserved better.
[23:29] <Anthony Suthers> You deserved better than to be under the thumb of Terrorists, and you deserved a chance to make something of yourself.
[23:29] <Anthony Suthers> You deserved a chance to better society instead of destabilizing it, and.... in a way. You reminded me of myself.
[23:29] <Anthony Suthers> No. I don't regret it.
[23:30] <Amanda Sharlan> Then why do you...speak of...taking away the honest job...you worked so hard to get for me?
[23:30] <Anthony Suthers> Whatever happens now, you have done a great thing for this planet. As soon as Ami Mizuno takes the dampers down, Abstergo will suffer, and....
[23:30] * Anthony Suthers looks her in the eyes.
[23:30] <Anthony Suthers> Amanda. I wanted better for you. Than this. Than pain and hospitals.
[23:31] <Anthony Suthers> I tried to better you. And I wanted you to be able to relish in the youth that you would not otherwise have enjoyed.
[23:31] <Amanda Sharlan> Hazel wasn't going to give up...we know that...
[23:31] <Anthony Suthers> Yes. We do.
[23:31] <Amanda Sharlan> I'm still alive...that's all that matters...
[23:31] <Anthony Suthers> There are so many more things that matter besides that,Amanda.
[23:32] <Anthony Suthers> I want to teach you to be careful. You almost engaged a superior opponent on their own terms.
[23:32] <Amanda Sharlan> But none of those things...CAN matter...if I'm dead...
[23:32] * Anthony Suthers holds her hand.
[23:32] <Anthony Suthers> I think we need to "Talk" together some more, my child.
[23:32] <Anthony Suthers> I promise you. We'll get this right, okay?
[23:33] <Amanda Sharlan> Yes...
[23:33] * Amanda Sharlan nods weakly, another round of morphine pumping through her IV
[23:33] * Anthony Suthers watches this, and gets closer to her head.
[23:34] <Anthony Suthers> Amanda. I... I won't take away your position. Yet. I know it is dear to you. But remember something.
[23:34] * Anthony Suthers strokes the side of her hair as the drugs enter her bloodstream.
[23:34] <Anthony Suthers> You are a Director of Security for a respectable electronics company. You almost were known as an insane lunatic.
[23:35] <Anthony Suthers> It's time we cement your statues as the former, okay? And make sure you can make the correct decisions, with full confidence. I think it's time you served as a role model again.
[23:35] * Anthony Suthers gently closes Amanda's eyes. But for now.... sleep.
[23:35] * Amanda Sharlan nods and lets out a long, raspy sigh
[23:36] * Amanda Sharlan drifts off to sleep, letting her hand fall limp in Tony's

[20:21] * @RiderHeroProject follows along, he's got that old feelin' again
[20:21] <SecOpsGIrl> It is a mall Wu Xian, not a dungeon.
[20:21] <@Ryan> Let old Dong have his fun, person I don't know.
[20:21] *** You are now in the lobby. It looks pretty straightforward. There is an escalator going up and down. The elevator is broken. There is a fountain with a frog croaking and sitting on the ledge. (you can /look frog) There is a coke and Pepsi Vending Machine.
[20:22] * Dong Wu Xian looks at Frog.

[20:22] <Dong Wu Xian> I really hope so!
[20:22] *** In the center of the lobby is a directory. And toward the back there is a door that is locked.
[20:23] <Inspector Pepper> I'm thirsty.
[20:23] * Inspector Pepper walks over to the coke machine
[20:23] * frog croaks. The fountains turn on.
[20:23] <Indigo> Really, Ryan? It's a frog.
[20:23] <Caroline Carr> Heh.
[20:23] * @Ryan does the 'I'm watching you' gesture to the Frog
[20:23] <Dong Wu Xian> Yay!
[20:23] * SecOpsGIrl looks at the directory.
[20:24] <SecOpsGIrl> You don't know me Ryan?
[20:24] *** Coke costs 100 yen.
[20:24] <@Ryan> Ya, keep thinking that and see where that gets you: Dead. Without your Adamantium.
[20:24] <@RiderHeroProject> it's controlling us alllllll
[20:24] * Ryoko Mitsurugi checks the directory
[20:24] <@Ryan> Wait, do I know you?
[20:24] * Joanna Smithson walks over and looks at some of the ads around the area
[20:24] * Inspector Pepper puts in 100 yen?
[20:24] <@Ryan> I'm old, dammit, and sometimes I forget things.
[20:24] * Caroline Carr looks for an electronics store
[20:24] *** (you gain 100 mp)
[20:24] * Dong Wu Xian watches the fountain. Oooh, I wonder if people have thrown coins into the fountain?
[20:24] <Indigo> ...
[20:24] <@RiderHeroProject> completely old, ancient, and dusty
[20:24] <Inspector Pepper> :D
[20:24] <Indigo> I think we met briefly before I fell into a volcano.
[20:24] <SecOpsGIrl> I'm Yumiko, Raihosha's daughter? (well one of them)
[20:24] <Inspector Pepper> /setmp 100
[20:25] ☼ Scouter indicates Inspector Pepper has MP level of 100!
[20:25] * Dong Wu Xian looks into the water, looking if people have thrown coins.
[20:25] <@Ryan> OK, I think I know you two now.
[20:25] *** There are coins in there yes.
[20:25] *** Indigo has taken G¥100 from Inspector Pepper.
[20:26] *** You have one coke. (when you /senzu later add an extra 100 mp
[20:26] * Joanna Smithson looks to see if there are any shops nearby
[20:26] * Indigo looks at the Directory.
[20:26] <Dong Wu Xian> Oooh, perhaps we should throw coins into the fountain, and make wishes on them?
[20:26] * @Ryan looks for something to blow up
[20:26] *** Directory! Floor 1: Lobby.
[20:26] <Caroline Carr> (( away phone ))
[20:26] *** Floor 2: Food Court
[20:26] <@RiderHeroProject> Someone tell me if you see a liquor store. I need to make a beer run later
[20:27] <@Ryan> That's a good idea, Mysterious Rider!
[20:27] *** Floor 3: Technology.
[20:27] <Joanna Smithson> ugh please...the beer around here is awful
[20:27] *** Floor 4: Clothing.
[20:27] <Dong Wu Xian> Even awful experiences are worth having sometimes!
[20:27] <SecOpsGIrl> Ooh, Technology!
[20:27] <@Ryan> That's because you're an alcoholic, mysterious woman I don't know.
[20:27] *** Floor 5: Sports.
[20:28] *** Floor 6: Jewlery.
[20:28] <SecOpsGIrl> Has someone flashy-thingy'd you Ryan?
[20:28] <Joanna Smithson> ooo sports
[20:28] <@Ryan> I'd think I'd remembered if someone flashed me or not. Especially if it was someone attractive.
[20:28] <SecOpsGIrl> You should at least confuse Joanna for Matsumi.
[20:28] <Joanna Smithson> we should stop there
[20:28] * Indigo hovers her finger over and pokes floor 4
[20:28] *** Nothing happens.
[20:28] <Dong Wu Xian> Is the elevator broken?
[20:28] *** Yes.
[20:29] <Joanna Smithson> what about the escalators?
[20:29] *** The Escalators work!
[20:29] <SecOpsGIrl> Joanna being her younger sister!
[20:29] * Dong Wu Xian looks around for a coin that somebody has left upon the ground!
[20:29] <Inspector Pepper> Looks like we're doing this the semi-old fashioned way!
[20:29] * Indigo goes up the escalator.
[20:30] * SecOpsGIrl follows Indigo.
[20:30] <@RiderHeroProject> ryan's brain just got molested by the forgets
[20:30] * Dong Wu Xian looks around for a coin that somebody has left upon the ground!
[20:30] <spiritflame> Dong Wu Xian rolls 1d20 [ 18 ]
[20:30] *** Floor Two: The food court!
[20:30] <@Ryan> That occasionally happens!
[20:30] <Dong Wu Xian> Hey! There are to coins here! YAY!
[20:31] *** You find ten yen
[20:31] * Dong Wu Xian picks up the two coins.
[20:31] * Ryoko Mitsurugi goes up the escalator
[20:31] * @RiderHeroProject takes up the rear, someone's gotta watch the backs
[20:31] * Joanna Smithson follows the others
[20:31] <@Ryan> Besides, some of you people look alike.
[20:31] * Dong Wu Xian walks up the "down" escalator.
[20:31] <@Ryan> Sometimes I think there's more than one of you running around.
[20:31] * @Ryan follows the rest, walking like he's stalking an animal.
[20:31] <Inspector Pepper> >_>
[20:32] * Joanna Smithson glares at Ryan
[20:32] <Dong Wu Xian> Hello Mall Security Guards!
[20:33] * @Ryan glares back at Joanna; why is he being glared at? He has no idea. But he'll glare back. Because he's the best there is at what he does and what he does sometimes he forgets like right about now.
[20:33] <Dong Wu Xian> I wonder if they will have real plants of fake plants in the mall?
[20:33] * @RiderHeroProject glares at both of them, and the same, time, one eye each, it's really weird
[20:33] * Joanna Smithson checks to see if the plants are real
[20:33] <Inspector Pepper> They
[20:33] *** You enter in the center. Here's the layout: To your left there is a hallway that leads to a bathroom. Next to that on the right is McDonalds. There is a corner shop that's a sushi bar. Then a hole in the wall Ramen place. Another corner shop is the Pizza Parlor. Next to that is a Burrito Bar (There is a sign that says "Try the Everything Burrito!").
[20:33] <Inspector Pepper> 're probably a mix
[20:34] <SecOpsGIrl> Well, Ryan, maybe there are multiple Furus running around, but the rest of us?
[20:34] <Inspector Pepper> This all sounds less than appetizing.
[20:34] <SecOpsGIrl> An everything Burrito? How much, I wonder...
[20:34] <Dong Wu Xian> Well, it's best to look for dead parts to see if the plant is real. Without death, it can't be authentic.
[20:34] * @Ryan is currently on a glare off with two other people
[20:34] *** Another corner shop that is a frozen yogurt place. Another vending machine, a Candy spot, another corner shop that's for pies, and we're back to the bathroom.
[20:35] <Joanna Smithson> ooo frozen yogurt
[20:35] <Indigo> Has anyone told you that you're really morbid?
[20:35] <Dong Wu Xian> You like frozen yogurt?
[20:35] <@RiderHeroProject> Ryan
[20:35] <@RiderHeroProject> Don't steal 40 pies
[20:35] <@Ryan> Dong comes from a long line of morbid people.
[20:35] <@Ryan> ...But I wanna!
[20:35] *** that would be terrible.
[20:35] <Joanna Smithson> yeah..I like frozen yogurt
[20:35] *** Do you want to be terrible, Ryan?
[20:35] <@Ryan> YES
[20:35] * @Ryan goes to steal some pies
[20:36] * SecOpsGIrl checks out the prices at the Burrito place.
[20:36] *** That's all I will say.
[20:36] <Dong Wu Xian> I wonder if the mall has a PA system?
[20:36] *** Everything Burrito: 200 gold yen.
[20:36] <@RiderHeroProject> NO, you'll only prove luthor rigth!
[20:36] <@Ryan> He can suck it!
[20:36] * Joanna Smithson walks over and checks to see the price of frozen yogurt
[20:37] *** Once again, you're in the center. There are tables with chairs and people sitting there. A number of them don't look too well
[20:37] * Ryoko Mitsurugi shrugs and goes over to sushi bar to look at the prices
[20:37] *** As you explore the stores, you realize there's no one there.
[20:37] <Inspector Pepper> Hello? Anyone working?
[20:37] *** No response.
[20:37] * Indigo sighs and looks for the escalator.
[20:37] <Inspector Pepper> Okay, no body loot anything.
[20:37] <@Ryan> The weak shall be culled by the mighty
[20:37] <Indigo> I'm not here for food.
[20:38] <Joanna Smithson> um..hello?
[20:38] <SecOpsGIrl> Hmm... I'm suddenly concerned about the health ratings for these places...
[20:38] <Inspector Pepper> As an officer of the law, I have to stop you from doing it.
[20:38] <Joanna Smithson> ....hungry gal here
[20:38] *** No escalator.
[20:38] <@RiderHeroProject> someone doesn't know how to cut the fugu i bet
[20:38] <Indigo> This is bulls[BLEEP]t.
[20:38] * Indigo sighs.
[20:38] * Joanna Smithson looks around "where is everyone"
[20:38] <@Ryan> Agreed! Why is the facist trying to oppress us under the guise of the 'law'!
[20:38] <Dong Wu Xian> I'm here! Are you going to have the frozen yogurt?
[20:39] *** There is a box on one of the tables.
[20:39] * Dong Wu Xian taps Joanna on the shoulder, smiling.
[20:39] * SecOpsGIrl checks out the box.
[20:39] <Joanna Smithson> I guess not
[20:39] <spiritflame> @Ryan rolls 1d40 [ 22 ]
[20:39] * Joanna Smithson walks over "what's in the box?"
[20:39] <@RiderHeroProject> QUICK, ANYTHING COULD BE IN THAT BOX, EVEN A BOAT
[20:39] *** Ryan has 22 pies.
[20:39] * @Ryan celebrates!
[20:40] *** And that's terrible. They're all apple.
[20:40] <@RiderHeroProject> 'MERICAN PIE
[20:40] <@Ryan> Aww. I guess I'll have to make due.
[20:40] *** And there's an elephant on them.
[20:40] <SecOpsGIrl> I don't know, but it is an unattended box in a mall...
[20:40] <Ryoko Mitsurugi> Nobody's working the counters at all. Did they have a massive layoff here?
[20:40] *** Do you open the box?
[20:41] <@RiderHeroProject> thats what she said
[20:41] <Dong Wu Xian> Ooooh! Box!
[20:41] <Dong Wu Xian> Suspicious!
[20:41] <SecOpsGIrl> I'd say we have a duty to check the box for explosives.
[20:41] * SecOpsGIrl opens the box.
[20:41] <Dong Wu Xian> Let's report it to our nearest law enforcement officer!
[20:41] <@RiderHeroProject> ok
[20:41] * Dong Wu Xian waves to Pepper and points at the box. "That was easy."
[20:41] <@RiderHeroProject> Pepper, there's a weird box here
[20:41] <@Ryan> I saw its our duty to burn this mother to the ground.
[20:42] * Joanna Smithson looks
[20:42] *** The lights flicker.
[20:42] *** You find a science kit!
[20:42] <Ryoko Mitsurugi> What the...?
[20:42] <@RiderHeroProject> VAMPIRES
[20:42] <Dong Wu Xian> Oooooh~ Something is happening! :D
[20:42] <Joanna Smithson> ...a science kit?
[20:42] *** Plenty of beakers, vials, a manual that has the pages ripped out of it.
[20:42] <SecOpsGIrl> A science kit?
[20:42] <@Ryan> Each of us should find some flammable material and take a floor. Then get the hell out of here and watch from a distance.
[20:42] <@RiderHeroProject> I saw blade,i know that means a huge blood rave is about to start
[20:43] <SecOpsGIrl> Ooh...
[20:43] <Dong Wu Xian> I don't know. Let's look to see if there are other shoppers in the mall?
[20:43] * Dong Wu Xian looks for other shoppers.
[20:43] * SecOpsGIrl acquires Science Kit.
[20:43] * @Ryan puts away his pies for now
[20:43] * SecOpsGIrl tries to see if there are any pages left in the manual.
[20:43] * Dong Wu Xian stands on the correct-colored tile, and spins around to look for other shoppers.
[20:43] <Joanna Smithson> HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?...ANYONE HERE!?
[20:43] <SecOpsGIrl> /inventory
[20:44] *** There is a little contraption that will let you insert three vials.
[20:44] * @RiderHeroProject marvels at Ryan's ability to pocket 22 baked goods in his pants
[20:44] <@Ryan> WE'VE COME TO SLAUGHTER YOU
[20:44] *** Where's Joanna?
[20:44] <@Ryan> COME OUT AND YOU WON'T SUFFER
[20:44] <@Ryan> MUCH
[20:44] * Joanna Smithson is standing near the rest of you guys
[20:44] * SecOpsGIrl inserts three vials!
[20:44] *** alright
[20:44] <@RiderHeroProject> All me wanna do is eat your brains
[20:44] * @Ryan shares his secret with RiderHeroProject
[20:44] <Indigo> I can't believe I brought you guys.
[20:44] <@RiderHeroProject> we're not unreasonable, no ones gonna eat your eyes..
[20:45] *** The machine whirrs. Nothing happens.
[20:45] <Inspector Pepper> At least I'm nice :3
[20:45] <SecOpsGIrl> Hmm.
[20:45] *** suddenly the people who weren't looking too good look worse
[20:45] <Joanna Smithson> um...guys
[20:45] *** ladies and gentlemen may you please /senzu
[20:46] <Dong Wu Xian> Yes? Do you want to still eat Ice Yogurt?
