[Session start!] Last time I checked... Aren't fish supposed to live *in* water? They are... why? Isn't that a plush... *scans* ...oh, my. Another wierd thing about this place. Yeah... What is it? Some sort of 'pocket monster'? Oh, great... a pokemon? I sincerely hope not. Believe me. It's not nearly as bad until you've actually *lived* in the show. o_O What, you don't think there aren't parts of the multiverse out there like it? ...never thought about it. I pity you. And people wonder why I'm the way I am. Send me a warning or something if there's a problem. I will. * image of a guy in armor with a big spear running Livle through. "BADBADBAD!" I'll be right there! Enhanced armor and spear, both made of some sort of magic-enhanced silver alloy. Ah fuck. I hate magic. *no response* Owww... *still no response, though there's a slight acknowledging whirring of the HD* * Elonith checks to see what Carter's accessing. (And I doubt his HD whirs... But we'll just leave that in anyways. :P) *nothing in particular...more like a half-hearted attempt to acknowledge receipt* * Carter starts accessing a section of Elo's HD, making a checklist of goals. 1) visit the monoliths, gather information... (By the way, if you want, there's an area that's not blocked off that was practically impossable to access before.) (oooh... ) *peek* 2) visit Lord Clay and hear his sales pitch. (The area speaks of a project codenamed Purgatory, consisting of a *huge* amount of genetic research and splicing. There were hundereds, if not thousands of attempts, but one of the few successful ones is labeled 6GP-L91. Further research indicates that this is, indeed, Elonith.) *peeks and then withdraws, respecting privacy* (It also speaks to detain him on sight, if any of their agents should come into contact with him. Lethal force is authorized if necessary.) Done yet? Oh, sorry, curiosity got the better of me. ^^; Nah, it's okay. I told you to look, 's the only reason the system didn't boot you. * The lock sets in and the files dissapear from view. Oh. And *that* is why I don't want to go back. I see. You could always come to my home reality. Your knowledge of science would be most welcome. Though they may try to convince you to undergo the nanite treatment. Makes sharing of knowledge so much easier; most scientists are required to undergo it before they're hired. *punches up a variety of files. Most are failed expirements with intigrating Shanthroan with Nanotech, and a few are with Human-shanth hybrids and nanotech. My biology can't stand integrated technology under normal conditions. It's sort of our specialty. They'd find a way...but only if you were willing to let them try. What I said about freedom to choose is true; it's essential. Perhaps. I've never been on earth in my own time... And have you made alien contact yet? No. We hope to avoid it until we have a second star system, on the off chance they're hostile. Look to Alpha Centauri. We are. That will be our target once the Demon Gate works. There's a reason the intergalactic alliance in my world is called The Centauri Alliance. Oh, dear. That will be a surprise for the Empire. It can be different in your world, however. I'm sure they'll find out soon enough. [End session!]
