[20:33] <Chamelaeon> <<ATC SESSION FORTY-FOUR, LIFTOFF!>>
[20:36] <Chamelaeon> <<It is the Fifteenth, about 3 o'clock. You're
sitting in the common room of the Fruitcake. Sitting on a table in front
of you is a large chunk of silicon crystal, all that's left of the
Pyramid. You've taken a break, showered, rested, cleaned up, and eaten
lunch (SPACE PIZZA), and now you're back here to analyze it and plot
against the Cube, the Egg, the Cloud, and any possible other AIs that
might exist. [GO!]>>
[20:37] <Chako> (Oh, is that all? We'll be done by dinner.)
[20:37] * Vernon has dragged all manner of equipment out to pore over
the thing, and is taking measurements.
[20:38] * Tim has done likewise, and is eyeing the thing suspiciously.
[20:38] * Isis appears to be meditating. Or perhaps sleeping. Who can
ever really tell the difference?
[20:38] * Taluun`tzo 'sits' at the table, observing Vernon and Tim
analyze the bit of silicon.
[20:41] <Vernon> Hm.
[20:41] * Chako is sitting in a chair, frowning, because she can't do
anything.
[20:41] <Chamelaeon> <<It's a... well... chunk of silicon. If you spent
a little time at it you might be able to extract some data out of it,
but it's going to take a few minutes.>>
[20:42] * Tim nods to Vernon and starts spending a little time at it.
[20:42] * Vernon does likewise!
[20:43] <Charlie> Looks like it could be a while, Chako..
[20:43] <Charlie> We have any plans in the meantime?
[20:44] * Taluun`tzo soon gets bored. "Yes. I am interested in doing
something other than sit and watch."
[20:45] <Tim> ( Aww. But we worked hard on this act! ;_; )
[20:45] <Vernon> (;_;)
[20:46] * Chako shakes her head. "We can't fight viruses or smash
nanites, and we don't have the equipment for it, as far as I know. If
Rondure or anyone wants to chime up on that, it'd be a damn good time."
[20:47] * Isis speaks without opening her eyes. "I'm concerned about
where this is headed. I'd like to do something with my life beyond AI
busting."
[20:47] <Tim> Well, I'm hoping the Pyramid had something on the cloud to
keep it safe. Other than an alliance. I mean, it'd figure, what with the
bugs apparently not having been devastated by a bizarre cloud.
[20:47] * Vernon nods. "I'm operating under the assumption that once
this is complete, we won't have to worry about malicious AIs very much."
[20:48] <Chamelaeon> <<The speakers pop.>> "I've been on it. Depending
on the information we get out of the Pyramid, we can cook up an
anti-virus to the Cloud, as it were."
[20:48] <Vernon> Ah, excellent!
[20:49] * Chako shakes her head. "Then I don't see anything we can do
yet." She glances at the sleep-talking Isis, but doesn't respond.
[20:51] * Charlie goes back to a data-pad card game he was working on
earlier.
[20:51] <Chamelaeon> <<Vernon, Tim, gimme a Electronics roll.>>
[20:51] <Vernon> 2d6-6
[20:52] <Tim> ( Any spec? )
[20:52] <Chako> (No dice, sillies.)
[20:52] <Vernon> (Tank, we need a dicebot.)
[20:52] <Chamelaeon> (Gah.
[20:52] <Vernon> (And yes, spec? ^_^)
[20:53] <Chamelaeon> (Computers)
[20:53] -herring.sandwich.net:@#atc- Chamelaeon invited Dicesuke into
channel #atc.
[20:53] *** Dicesuke (dice@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined
#atc
[20:53] <Vernon> 2d6-6
[20:53] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vernon (2d6-6) and gets 5.
[20:53] <Vernon> (Can I get a "hell yeah"?)
[20:53] <Chako> (Wow, that was close.)
[20:53] <Taluun`tzo> (Hell yeah!)
[20:54] <Tim> 2d6-6
[20:54] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tim (2d6-6) and gets -1.
[20:54] <Vernon> (Impressive.)
[20:54] <Tim> ( ...I'll have one of those, too. c.c )
[20:55] <Taluun`tzo> (HELLZ YEAH.)
[20:55] <Chamelaeon> <<You manage to, er, power up the PyramidBit and
hook up a laser-reading system for the crystalline structure. Data
starts flowing into datapads and into the walls.>>
[20:56] * Tim starts browsing the data.
[20:56] * Vernon does likewise.
[20:56] <Chamelaeon> <<You can't read it, you don't know the format!>>
[20:56] <Vernon> By the way, guys, don't look directly into the lasers.
It would be bad.
[20:57] <Vernon> Ronnie, can you read this?
[21:00] <Chamelaeon> <<AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH! But thankfully Rondure comes
up on a nearby screen.>> "I sure can." <<She peers at a piece of
paper.>> "Quite conveniently, it's exactly what we need. A piece of data
about the formation of the Cloud nanites. That and a fragment of
something that might be a ... poem. Perhaps."
[21:00] <Vernon> Oh...?
[21:00] <Tim> ...is it a good poem?
[21:01] <Tim> ( "It's an excellent poem." "Damn. Now I feel bad about
killing that thing." )
[21:01] * Chako leans on one of her hands, on the side of the chair, and
continues to hold her frown.
[21:01] * Taluun`tzo glances around the room.
[21:01] <Chamelaeon> "Here's what it translates as - 'Stars of morning,
brightly shining stars, you are brightly shining. How bright you
shine...' and goes on like that."
[21:02] <Tim> Oh. In that case, it's probably good we killed him. 
[21:02] <Chamelaeon> "Her."
[21:02] * Tim nod sagely.
[21:03] * Vernon nods.
[21:03] <Chamelaeon> "Now. I can get you an antidote from this, but
you're going to have to kill the master infection... which is apparently
one Benny Masterson."
[21:03] * Vernon blinks.
[21:04] <Tim> ...really. Huh. That makes sense, in a weird sort of way.
[21:04] <Chako> How the hell did Masterson become this... master
infection? He only started acting weird a few weeks ago.
[21:05] <Chamelaeon> "I have no idea. But the pattern of infection
follows him."
[21:05] * Taluun`tzo nods. "So we must neutralize Benny Masterson?"
[21:07] <Tim> Works for me. 
[21:07] <Chamelaeon> "You got it. I'm gonna go quiet for a while and try
and synthesize this anti-nanite."
[21:07] <Chamelaeon> <<True to her word, she does.>>
[21:07] * Vernon nods.
[21:09] * Chako frowns. "It woulda been nice if she'd have told us where
Masterson is right about now." Chako glances at her pad to see if it's
anywhere in the data she has.
[21:09] * Tim hums, and goes to see if he can figure out where Masterson
is right now. Follow the bouncing cloud.
[21:11] <Chamelaeon> <<The latest infection spread is near the border of
Red India, in Red Bangalore.>>
[21:11] <Vernon> Hmm...
[21:11] * Tim nods and goes to tell Mr. Tipsy to get the ship going.
[21:12] * Taluun`tzo stretches. Hope we go on another road trip...
[21:14] * Chako stands up. "Dammit, how messed up is this."
[21:16] <Isis> (*rubs his face* Okay. I thought I was going to make it
through, but I'm not. I've had way too little sleep and I need to be up
early.)
[21:16] * Chako looks at Charlie and Isis. "Are you two ready to go?"
[21:17] * Isis opens one eye. "I think I'll sit this one out. I'd like
to discuss some things with Ronnie when she's done with her research.
Theories and such."
[21:17] <Vernon> Hmm, makes sense.
[21:18] <Charlie> Sure thing, Chako.
[21:19] * Tim returns. If he's lucky, he doesn't have a bird on him.
[21:20] <Chamelaeon> <<Tim has a bird on him. Lenin is nibbling on his
ears.>>
[21:21] * Chako nods. "Alright, then. You're the contractor." She turns
to Tim and Vernon. "Are you two ready for this?"
[21:22] * Tim scowls. Damn bird. "Me? Sure. The keeper of Lenin says
he'll be ready to go in a few minutes."
[21:22] <Vernon> I'm all set.
[21:22] <Isis> ( *waves* I'll catch up with all this next week. Sorry. )
[21:23] <Chamelaeon> ('s okay.)
[21:23] <Vernon> (Unmoo - no problem.)
[21:23] *** Isis is now known as Todd
[21:23] <Tim> ( 'Night, Todd. )
[21:23] *** Todd (lina@CPE-65-31-149-117.wi.rr.com) Quit (Quit:
Sayonara, ordinary life.)
[21:23] * Taluun`tzo finishes stretching. "I am prepared to leave any
moment from now."
[21:24] * Chako snorts. "I meant Masterson. You two haven't actually had
to do any real killing." She shakes her head. "Forget it. Dunno why the
hell I asked. Let's go."
[21:24] <Tim> Well, we might want to wait until we have the antivirus or
whatever. You know, so we don't become zombies. 
[21:25] <Vernon> Yeah, that would be a very good idea.
[21:26] <Chamelaeon> <<Prag bustles in through the door, balancing a
metal suitcase on his head.>> "Rondure said this will do for now. It
won't spread from person to person, but it'll prevent you guys from
catching Cloud."
[21:27] * Chako eyes Prag. "Hey, convenient."
[21:27] <Taluun`tzo> Very.
[21:28] <Vernon> Excellent.
[21:28] <Tim> Nice.
[21:28] * Tim takes the suitcase.
[21:29] * Tim starts to open it, since he doubts just wearing it around
his neck will suffice.
[21:29] <Taluun`tzo> (But it's a wonderful fashion statement.)
[21:30] <Chamelaeon> "Be careful you guys. I've got brownies cooking for
when you get back."
[21:30] <Chamelaeon> <<Inside the case is a hypospray! And twelve
canisters.>>
[21:30] * Vernon grins. "Thanks, Prag."
[21:30] <Taluun`tzo> Brownies?
[21:30] * Chako smirks. "Share some with Isis, when she gets done with
her strategy junk."
[21:31] <Chamelaeon> "Will do..." <<He bustles out the door.>>
[21:32] <Tim> Brownies? Sweet.
[21:32] * Tim shoots up. Ahh, cloud-proof goodness.
[21:33] * Charlie watches Tim, "Cure for the comon Clound, hmm?"
[21:34] <Charlie> (common Cloud..)
[21:34] * Vernon grins. "That was bad."
[21:34] * Vernon takes the hypospray and gives himself a dose, as well.
[21:35] <Charlie> Well, y'know.. Somebody had to say it.
[21:35] * Taluun`tzo hmmms. "Nano-virus, right? Then the cure and
disease should protect and attack all beings indescrimanently."
[21:35] * Chako sakes her head with a grin. "If ya say so."
[21:37] <Chamelaeon> <<The hangar holds a grumpy Kookaburra, standing in
front of the brick.>>
[21:38] * Chako looks at the ship, then starts walking. "So, ya gonna
share, Vern?"
[21:38] <Chamelaeon> "I don't know vhy you do dis all de time. Kome to
me, tell me dat ve haff tree minutes to get movink." <<He mutters curses
in Russian.>>
[21:38] <Tim> One of the downsides to saving the world.
[21:39] * Vernon nods. "Sorry about that."
[21:39] * Taluun`tzo walks along. "A employment hazard?"
[21:39] <Chamelaeon> "Savink vorld not conducive to vone's health."
[21:39] <Tim> Tell me about it.
[21:40] * Vernon nods. "I know a little piloting, but I wouldn't feel
safe doing it, especially with a pro available."
[21:40] <Chamelaeon> <<A few minutes later you're underway. You've got a
while for travel time, so tell me when you're ready to fast forward.>>
[21:41] <Chako> (I would eventually like to get the antidote thing.
c.c;)
[21:41] * Tim shoots Chako full of antidote.
[21:41] <Chako> (WOOT!)
[21:42] * Charlie takes his turn for antidoteness as well.
[21:43] * Taluun`tzo considers taking the antidote, then decides it's
better to be safe than sorry, so he does.
[21:46] * Chako sighs, and leans back in a seat.
[21:46] <Chako> (There's nothing to talk about, apparently? Might as
well FF.)
[21:47] * Taluun`tzo is annoyed by cramped conditions.
[21:47] <Taluun`tzo> (FF.)
[21:47] <Tim> ( z.z )
[21:47] <Chamelaeon> <<You are now over Red Bangalore, and you have no
idea where Masterson is.>>
[21:48] * Tim uses the ships scanning doodads. ...or looks out the
window. Either wya.
[21:48] <Chamelaeon> <<You see a city. There's a lot of people in a
city.>>
[21:48] <Vernon> Time to ask around for information?
[21:49] <Chako> Asking won't help. Look for the blue aura, maybe?
[21:50] <Chamelaeon> <<You don't see a blue aura. Visual checks.>>
[21:50] <Chako> 2d6
[21:50] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chako (2d6) and gets 5.
[21:50] <Taluun`tzo> 2d6
[21:50] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taluun`tzo (2d6) and gets 9.
[21:50] <Charlie> Where have the infectees been showing up?
[21:50] <Chako> (Amazing. I made it.)
[21:50] <Taluun`tzo> (Not I, though.)
[21:50] <Vernon> 2d6-4
[21:50] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vernon (2d6-4) and gets 2.
[21:50] <Vernon> (Yes.)
[21:51] <Charlie> 2d6-2
[21:51] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Charlie (2d6-2) and gets 10, a
CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "The gods giveth, and the gods taketh away. This
time, they taketh away."
[21:51] <Vernon> (You're blind!)
[21:51] <Chamelaeon> <<Those of you who make it notice a familar someone
in one of the warehouse districts.... it's Illyana. Charlie, however,
thinks it's a Sleythin.>>
[21:51] * Charlie is playing his card game again. ^_^; Hard to spot
something when you're not looking.
[21:52] * Vernon blinks. "What the hell?!"
[21:52] <Charlie> hmm?
[21:52] <Taluun`tzo> What is it?
[21:52] <Vernon> I just saw Illyana.
[21:52] <Chako> Illyana. Another Illyana.
[21:53] <Taluun`tzo> Who?
[21:53] <Charlie> What? Why can't they just leave her alone.
[21:54] <Chamelaeon> <<There's a few more of her there, too, standing
around a building.>>
[21:54] * Chako suits up instantly. "Someone who died because of the
AllDrug."
[21:55] * Charlie suits up and looks out the window to see all the fuss.
[21:55] * Vernon suits up as well.
[21:56] <Taluun`tzo> AllDrug... I don't remember any AllDrug.
[21:56] * Taluun`tzo suits up.
[21:56] <Chamelaeon> <<You're now all suited up! And still hovering in
the air.>>
[21:56] * Charlie shakes his head "There's gotta be at least 10 of her
down there."
[21:57] <Tim> Eh? ...great. 
[21:57] <Tim> And they're probably either the source of the infection,
or Masterson's cloned bodyguards.
[21:57] <Taluun`tzo> That is not a good sign.
[21:58] * Chako growls. "One way or ther other, it's sick. It's time to
take care of them, and Masterson."
[21:58] * Tim nods.
[21:58] <Vernon> Yes.
[21:58] <Taluun`tzo> Certainly.
[21:58] <Taluun`tzo> (BATTLE CRY!)
[21:59] <Chamelaeon> <<You float! Good jorb!>>
[21:59] <Tim> ( Revengers resemble! ...no, that's not right. )
[21:59] * Vernon heads back to tell Kookaburra to take us down.
[22:02] * Taluun`tzo gets ready to do what he does best.
[22:02] <Chamelaeon> <<The ship lowers, directly into the industrial
sector, which pisses the fuck off the ATCops, who you can hear on the
radio, but that's not your concern! The ramp at the back lowers, and
suddenly you're face on with ten Illyanas, all wielding what look like
gravity guns. Or so you'd guess.>>
[22:03] <Chamelaeon> <<Initiative!>>
[22:03] <Taluun`tzo> d6+8
[22:03] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taluun`tzo (d6+8) and gets 13.
[22:03] <Vernon> d6+6
[22:03] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vernon (d6+6) and gets 9.
[22:03] <Charlie> d6+9
[22:03] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Charlie (d6+9) and gets 10.
[22:03] <Chako> d6+7
[22:03] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chako (d6+7) and gets 11.
[22:04] <Tim> d6+7
[22:04] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tim (d6+7) and gets 13.
[22:04] <Chamelaeon> <<Tim/Taluun, Chako, Charlie, Illy/Vernon>>
[22:05] <Chamelaeon> <<Tim/Taluun go!>>
[22:05] * Tim takes a shot at the nearest Illyana with his arm-mounted
blaster thingie.
[22:05] <Tim> 2d6-3
[22:05] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tim (2d6-3) and gets 3.
[22:06] * Taluun`tzo charges forward in usual style, swinging his tail
around once to sweep any Illy's in range, then bracing and kicking at
any in range if they're still standing.
[22:06] <Tim> I hate this. They could've at least had the decency to
clone someone we all hate, y'know?
[22:06] <Taluun`tzo> 2d6-2
[22:06] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taluun`tzo (2d6-2) and gets 4.
[22:06] <Taluun`tzo> 2d6-3
[22:06] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taluun`tzo (2d6-3) and gets 5.
[22:07] <Taluun`tzo> (Err, at one in range.)
[22:08] <Chamelaeon> <<Three Illys bite the dust in gory fashion. It's
quite obvious they're mass-produced crap. They, in fact, are prly
DunnoIllys and they might say "Made in Red China".>>
[22:09] <Chamelaeon> <<Chako!>>
[22:09] <Tim> Like that obnoxious commedian. You know, the one with the
hair? 
[22:10] <Taluun`tzo> No. I cannot say I do know.
[22:10] * Chako just draws her sword and tears into two of them with
great cutting swaths.
[22:10] <Vernon> In that case, consider yourself fortunate.
[22:10] <Chako> 2d6-4
[22:10] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chako (2d6-4) and gets 4.
[22:10] <Chako> 2d6-4
[22:10] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chako (2d6-4) and gets 3.
[22:12] <Chako> (Huts.)
[22:12] <Chamelaeon> <<BISECTED>>
[22:12] <Chamelaeon> <<Charlie!>>
[22:12] * Tim nods. "Yeah. Frankly, the guy makes me wish *I* was born
and raised in subspace."
[22:13] <Charlie> ~I'll go ahead if I can~ *he shimmers out as he heads
for the front of the warehouse*
[22:14] <Charlie> (or any door)
[22:15] <Chamelaeon> <<Vernon!>>
[22:15] * Vernon runs forward and swipes at the nearest Illyana with his
wakizashi.
[22:15] <Vernon> 2d6-3
[22:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vernon (2d6-3) and gets 4.
[22:15] <Vernon> (Woo!)
[22:15] <Taluun`tzo> (You and your short sword.)
[22:16] <Charlie> ~Sweet Space Jesus. You've got more Illys coming..
Lots of them~
[22:16] <Vernon> (Hey, short swords are awesome. They're sharp, they're
slicey and not stabby or thrusty, and they're maneuverable.)
[22:16] <Chamelaeon> <<Vernon deadifies! The four remaining Illyanas
take aim and fire. Poorly. They start to glow a little blue. Vernon,
Chako, Ranged rolls.>>
[22:17] <Vernon> 2d6-1
[22:17] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vernon (2d6-1) and gets 5.
[22:17] <Chako> 2d6-2
[22:17] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chako (2d6-2) and gets 1.
[22:17] <Chako> (Yeah.)
[22:19] <Chamelaeon> <<Vernon takes one in the gut, but Chako dodges!>>
[22:19] <Chamelaeon> <<Tim/Taluun!>>
[22:19] <Vernon> ~That didn't damage as much as I...wait, so THAT'S what
that does. Sweet!~
[22:20] <Charlie> 2d6-1
[22:20] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Charlie (2d6-1) and gets 6.
[22:21] <Charlie> 2d6
[22:21] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Charlie (2d6) and gets 7.
[22:21] <Charlie> 2d6+1
[22:21] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Charlie (2d6+1) and gets 13, a
CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Maybe you should consider sacrificing some barnyard
animals?"
[22:21] <Charlie> 2d6+2
[22:21] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Charlie (2d6+2) and gets 8.
[22:21] * Taluun`tzo raises his force field (if it wasn't up already)
and goes at it again, kicking with his rear legs at two of the Illy's.
[22:21] <Charlie> 2d6+4
[22:21] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Charlie (2d6+4) and gets 12.
[22:21] <Taluun`tzo> 2 2d6-3
[22:21] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taluun`tzo (2 2d6-3) and gets 3
5.
[22:22] <Charlie> 2d6+6
[22:22] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Charlie (2d6+6) and gets 12.
[22:22] <Taluun`tzo> (Uh...)
[22:22] * Tim frowns and shoots into the Illys some more.
[22:22] <Tim> 2d6-3
[22:22] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Tim (2d6-3) and gets 7.
[22:22] <Tim> ( ...a miss. ;_; )
[22:23] <Chamelaeon> <<Two more dead Illys!>>
[22:23] <Chamelaeon> <<Chako!>>
[22:23] <Charlie> ~I can't even get past them. They know I'm here.~
[22:24] <Chamelaeon> <<There's gunfire sounds coming from inside.>>
[22:24] <Vernon> ~Are we talking a dozen or so here, or...?~
[22:24] <Tim> ~Shit. What's he doing, converting every person he
converts into... no, I am not going there.~
[22:24] <Tim> ( person he infects, even. )
[22:24] * Chako mutters, and brings up her right arm, and the area in
arcs in front and behind of her get enveloped in heat.
[22:25] <Chako> 2d6-4
[22:25] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chako (2d6-4) and gets 1.
[22:25] <Chako> (Yeah.)
[22:26] <Chamelaeon> <<ILLYCRISPS!>>
[22:26] <Taluun`tzo> ~That... is a possibility.~
[22:27] <Tim> ~...aww, fuck. I SO didn't want that to be a possibility.
I mean, how creepy can you GET?~
[22:27] <Chamelaeon> <<There are no more Illys. But the ones on the
ground that were cut in half or beaten are starting to heal. In the
cases where they were bisected, they're just growing new halves. It's
incredibly nauseating to watch.>>
[22:28] <Tim> ...let's find Masterson and immolate him quickly.
[22:28] <Vernon> Yes.
[22:28] <Chamelaeon> <<It's taking a while, though.>>
[22:28] <Chako> Then let's GO!
[22:28] * Vernon heads forward, dodging the scary Illyanas.
[22:28] <Chamelaeon> <<There's still sounds of a firefight from
inside.>>
[22:28] * Chako runs forward too.
[22:29] <Charlie> ~I'm coming back out. There's no way we can get in
that way. There's probably 50 more Illys coming.~
[22:29] * Tim heads for the warehouse!
[22:29] <Tim> ( Man, if it's happening at all, it's happening too damn
fast. c.c )
[22:29] <Charlie> ~Look for another entrance if you can~
[22:30] <Tim> ...right.
[22:30] * Tim starts looking for another entrance.
[22:30] <Chamelaeon> <<There's a service entrance on the other side.>>
[22:30] * Vernon follows Tim.
[22:30] * Chako looks follows Tim too. What the hey?
[22:30] * Tim heads that way. To the service entrance!
[22:30] * Taluun`tzo moves!
[22:31] <Taluun`tzo> (No kidding. I look away for a few seconds and look
what happens. ^^;)
[22:31] * Tim is just that cool. Although he probably isn't.
[22:31] <Chamelaeon> <<You enter through the service entrance. Inside is
a mess. There ARE 50 more Illys coming, crowded in, and more coming in
from other rooms. They're all discharging wildly into the air, at the
exit Charlie went in before... but some of them are noticing you.
They're all glowing blue about the head.>>
[22:32] <Vernon> ~Is that glow communication?~
[22:32] <Taluun`tzo> ~Perhaps a scan of that blue glow is in order.~
[22:32] <Tim> ~Tell me you have more of those explosives, Vernon. And
yeah, it probably is.~
[22:32] * Tim runs scans. Scans are happy!
[22:32] * Charlie unshimmers as he catches up. ~This is just sick~
[22:33] <Vernon> ~I do not, but if this is something digital...~
[22:33] <Chamelaeon> <<It's heat exhaust. The Illy's are running at
about 120 degrees Farenheit.>>
[22:33] <Tim> ~...wow. Illys run a fever, it seems.~
[22:34] * Vernon extends some antennas. ~Here goes nothing.~
[22:34] * Taluun`tzo gets ready to cover Vernon if the Illy's come much
closer.
[22:35] * Tim gets ready to shoot things. ~How about you, Chako? Any
nice big explosives?~
[22:36] * Chako shrugs. "Not anymore. I've got that blast cone thing,
though. Melts just as good on 20 as it does on a few."
[22:36] <Vernon> 2d6-4
[22:36] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vernon (2d6-4) and gets 6.
[22:36] <Vernon> (Yes.)
[22:37] <Tim> ~Sounds good to me.~
[22:38] <Chamelaeon> <<Vernon's attack does nothing!>>
[22:38] <Vernon> ~Well, crap.~
[22:38] * Chako waves her hands. ~You should really get out from behind
me.~
[22:38] * Vernon moves!
[22:38] <Chamelaeon> <<And the Illy's get closer...>>
[22:38] <Tim> ~Right. Chako!~
[22:38] * Tim gets out of Chako's way.
[22:38] * Taluun`tzo gets out from behind her. Or in front of her, for
that matter.
[22:39] * Chako raises her right arm again, and the wide area cone of
heat spreads out, devestating the area in front of her. Again.
[22:39] * Charlie is sure not to be behind Chako
[22:39] <Chako> 2d6-4
[22:39] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chako (2d6-4) and gets 2.
[22:40] <Chako> (Wow, I made it. Huh. With a spreading -3 to defense
attack. Go figure.)
[22:40] <Chamelaeon> <<The Illy's MELT. It's disturbing to watch. But
after a good dose of that there's not many left, and the ones that are
are missing important pieces like ... heads.>>
[22:41] <Vernon> (Reitastic.)
[22:43] * Chako mutters. ~Maybe I should change my name. Genocide Chako.
It's got a ring.~
[22:43] * Chako looks around. What now?
[22:43] <Chamelaeon> <<There's a staircase up to an office above in the
warehouse, and it's got a blue glow. You'd normally have to go up it,
but Masterson does you a favor by coming out! He's dressed in a cape!
And all black! He's also got the blue halo, and his eyes glow blue, and
all sorts of fun glowy blue.>>
[22:44] <Tim> ...a cape? Gimme a break, man.
[22:44] <Taluun`tzo> ~[The cape, it is stupid, no?]~
[22:45] <Chako> ~No, it's fucking stupid.~
[22:45] <Chamelaeon> <<He chuckles.>> "So, you've come to test your
mettle against THE CLOUD! Well, you'll find me harder than that Bug
bitch to take out! HAVE AT YOU!" <<And he leaps off the balcony and...>>
[22:45] <Chamelaeon> <<SESSION FORTY-FOUR LANDED!>>
