My Posts for June 14th - 21st, 1999
6-14-99 This is the actual start of my Role-Playing Posts
::Hi All :) :: -=S=-
MECHSable looks around and notices that Swyft is not around. Setting her scanners to register Swyft in addition to Alten and Sever, Sable waits for the indicator light to blink on with Swyft's location.
As the light blinks on, Sable notices that Swyft seems to fancy a certain spot on the walls of the MECH compound. Sable readjusts her location programming to permanently name this area Swyft's LookOut. Slowly heading over to Swyft's LookOut, Sable sends a silent message to Swyft.
Sister, Can I come to your spot and help you observe the lessers? I feel that you have much to teach and would like to learn.A couple of paces away from the final path to Swyft's LookOut, Sable pauses and waits for a response back from Swyft.
The following posts take place on 6-15-99
Swyft’s response to a post Kayjenn made.
Swyft listens to the lesser standing below her. It's words are intriguing, but hardly enough by themselves to convince her of this creature's possible worthiness. So far it is outstanding only for it's bold manner. Swyft jumps down from her perch on the ledge and pulls her hood away from her face, metallic green eyes glowing in the dimming light. She moves forward, circles the lesser thing, and then looks it in the eyes. "You believe Gond spoke to you, and so you come here. Interesting. But for all I know, you ate something noxious and were delusional. Or spent time with the PoDlings and addled your brain. "Swyft circles the thing again. "Well, you are fortunate in that you have found me. I am Vice Admiral of Purifications. You come here appearing half-dead, and speaking of Gond. Curious, yes, but not enough to prove your worth. -If- you can show me some more substantial factors to evaluate...perhaps I will consider you. If not, I suggest you leave this place before one of my brethren decide to clear the compound of vermin. "Swyft glances at the ledge above them looking for Sable. She then looks back at the lesser, and folds her arms over her chest, awaiting its reply.
Tango’s Response to Kayjenn’s Post.
Fed up with the spewage of the lesser named Kayjenn, Tango leaps forward from his shadowy alcove. As he is flying through the air from his perch, he arms his pulse cannon.
Landing in front of the fleshling, Tango kicks it once in the mid-section. Before it can recover, Tango follows up with a kick just behind the knee.
As the fleshling starts to fall back, Tango shoves his pulse cannon into the fleshies chest and opens fire, sending the fleshing flying through the air. He listens as the fleshie lands, broken, outside of the compound walls.
Drawing his vibro-blade, Tango waits for yet more fodder
Swyft’s Reply to Tango’s actions
Swyft steps aside and watches Tango. "Well, I guess that takes care of that...Ya Demons are never much fer subtlety, are ya?" ;p
Tango’s Response
Er...subtle-what?
It shouldn't have just been standing there.
Swyft again
Leave the corpse outside, maybe it'll scare off any more that wander up here
Tango
It will be done. Clean up never was on of my strong points.
Swyft
Swyft waves up at Sable. "See, Sis, I warned it to speak up or clear out..."Swyft briefly checks her armor for spatter, then returns to her lookout.
Kayjenn
**OOC Darn I step away for 15 min because I’m at work and had a meeting to jump into.. I was writing my response as I was being killed...**
Swyft
Looking down from her vantagepoint on the ledge, Swyft thinks she sees the body twitch a bit. "Hmm.maybe it's not dead" she thinks. "If it gets back up maybe I'll go look at it".
Kayjenn
Using all the energy she has left Kay tries to get up. Wincing from the pain she realizes one of her legs is broken and can only get herself to sit up.
Swyft
Swyft sees the lesser moving a bit more. As it struggles, she is mildly suprised to see it sit up. "Must've been sturdier than it looked..." she thought. Climbing down from her perch, she wanders over to it. "Alright, you have my attention..."
Kayjenn
Looking up at the Mech, "As I was about to say before I was beaten... I know that you will test me and the tests wont be easy, but i am prepared mentally," looks at herself "If not physically at the moment, to do what is necessary to prove I am worthy of becoming a Mech."
"Up until now i have wandered not knowing what i should do next. Gond has shown me there is something I can do. I do want to make more out of my lowly life."
Swyft
"I see." Swyft looks at the lesser. Tenacious, if nothing else. She reaches under her cloak and pulls out a small box with a red button on it. "Here" she said, handing it to the Kayjenn. "When you think you are prepared, press this
button. It will take you to the Purification Center. You will find what you are looking for there."Kayjenn
Taking the small box from the Mech, she puts it away in her pouch, "Thank you, I know I won't disappoint you when it is time."
Tango
::hand twitches on his viroblade::
::looks from Swyft to Kayjenn with a question in his yellow eyes::
Kayjenn makes some comment here about being hurt but I never got a copy of it.
Swyft
Swyft considers the lessers question momentarily, then motions Tango to step back. "Yes, I do know of such a place...the Hospital Center. Let me take you there -weg-
Sable watches the whole scene from Swyft's LookOut. She is amazed at the strength and will of the lesser creature. She also thinks about adding Tango to her MECH tracking list, just so she will know when to stay out of the way and not get fleshling goo on her. Thinking back, Sable can't even remember her purification being as messy. All she remembers is following her honey Alten and hearing the grind of computers and electronic paperwork. Her next memories were of being home and among her MECH brothers and sisters.
Sable eyes the fleshling as Swyft motions Tango to move out of the way. She decides to follow Swyft and the fleshling. This purification might be interesting to see as long as Swyft doesn't mind the company. On the way past Tango, Sable pauses and scans his equipment. She might be one of the smaller MECHs, but she also wants the firepower to stand with the bigger MECHs. After the scan is complete, Sable sends a message to Alten
, Honey, I found some new toys that I want. ::sending an innocent look with the message:: Could you help me get them?Back on the ground, Sable notices how much of a good view Swyft has of the surrounding world on her LookOut. Sable makes a note to come here often and keep an eye on the world around her

Sable follows Swyft to the hospital in the complex. She is amazed that Swyft is bringing a lesser into the complex, but she trusts Swyft. Swyft was one of the first MECHs that Sable saw when she woke up; Alten being the other. Sable is careful to log and classify all of the information that Swyft is giving her.
Staring at the monitors in the hospital room, Sable amazes at the resilience of this lesser "Kayjenn". After Tango's display of firepower and the passage of time, Sable was almost sure that the lesser would be nothing more that a moment in the recycle chamber. But the monitors still register life signs.
While looking at the monitors, Sable is pleased to hear Alten come over the Comm and ask for a hunting partner. She is glad to see his rejuv has given him the needed power to go out and explore the world. Silently Sable sends a message to Alten,
Hi Honey; I have missed our conversations. If you want to have some fun, I can DL you the files of the plight of this lesser. It is quite interesting and Swyft is a very good teacher. She has taught me so much already and I am still learning stuff from her. If you get a chance, I would like a DL of your experiences with Tango. I need to see how the bigger MECHs do things so I can be able to stand as an equal and not in the background.With a feeling of satisfaction and a thirst to learn, Sable focuses on Swyft's actions and wonders what is next.

Sable is amazed at the things that she is learning from Swyft. The MECH compound is bigger than she expected and every dreamed.
Sable has been slowly following Swyft, sometimes with scanners only, learning what she has to offer. She takes it as a good sign that Swyft granted her permission to "view" Swyft's Purification Board.
After noting the entertainment that her brothers set up around the hospital, Sable decides not to go there unless necessary. It just seems like a Reject Department. Someone should blow it up and get rid of a few Fleshie Rejects.
Seeing Swyft's interest in this Tavern thing, Sable decides to follow her Sis. Silently, she sends a message to Swyft
, If I am bothering you at any point just let me know and I will back off.Sable narrows her scanner's bandwidth and scans the inside of the Tavern. She detects multiple fleshies and 2 MECHs. Confused, she looks to Swyft for an explanation.
Why are Sever and Tango in a fleshie place?Are they going to destroy it? Should we be prepared to pick off fleshies as they try to escape from the ruins? Should we be calling in reinforcements so they can share in the carnage?
Quizzical, Sable waits to see what happens.........

As Sable watches the actions at the Tavern, She is greeted with the Welcome Feeling of her Commander's Unit activating and join her and the other Hawks here in this New World. Silently she sends him a message.
Hi Sir. Welcome to the New World. I know that Alten and Sibyl are here some place. I also think that I saw Errtu lurking but I don't have him on my scanners at present. I have been learning new things with Swyft. If it is ok with You, I would like to remain with Swyft awhile longer. I have available for your viewing, my logs of my time here. Please let me know if you wish to see them and I will send them to you.Returning her attention to the tavern, Sable noticed that a Tango shaped hole was in the wall. This confused Sable because she thought that Tango walked through the door just moments before.
As she stood and watched the Tavern, Sable saw a dark-skinned female walk up to Tango. Researching her files, She finds that the female is an elf, a drow elf at that. The mention of Drow strikes a chord in her memory circuits and she faintly remembers a picture of Alten looking similar. Focusing her memory circuits, Sable sees a picture of herself as an Elf also, but of fair skin. Shaking off the strange images, Sable notes that she has not implemented a translator program.
Equipment list update - Translator Program Seeing the reaction to Tango, Sable decides that maybe she needs to watch the Tavern a bit more and see what protocols are in place for dealing with fleshies off of the compound.Sable starts making notes in her logs about the Drow female and the strange looking male that she was talking to. Her scanners tell her that it is a Cambion. She also thought that she heard it say "MECH" but was not sure. This creature might bear closer watching.
With her scanning completed, Sable awaits response from Swyft as to the next task. She also wants to compare logs with Swyft to see if she is recording all the essential information.

Hey All :) Here is a copy of the post that I made in the Tavern Folder. Thought it should also belong here.
OCC Thanks for the point out. I really hate typing when I am half-asleep. The Unit that I really care for is Alten ::Sorry Phase:: but if we can't have some fun then what can we have?
Sable walks back to her room shaking her head. How could I have done such a thing? Happy that Phase has now joined the Flight in the New World, Sable didn't even realize that she had slighted Alten, if only in thought and not deed.
Checklist update -- Install Grammar Checker With her checklist updated, Sable tunes her scanner until she can find Swyft and then sends her a message. Swyft can I still learn from you? In all of the happens we seem to have gotten separated. Just let me know where to meet you and I will be the with all due haste....... Sable sets her Comm on receives and waits for Swyft's reply............

While Sable waits for word from Swyft as to what the next action is with the surveillance of the lesser now known as Kayjenn, she recalls something that Swyft mentioned about a camera surveillance system. Looking at her Personalized MECH Location System, Sable sees that Alten is not around and she can get some new equipment. She heads down to the Supply and requisitions a camera surveillance system.
I need to get more information about this world. I will set up a camera system like Swyft has. A Hawk must know the terrain before they can perform their job Silently, Sable sends out a message to the other Hawks, I am setting up a Camera Surveillance System in my chambers. I am letting you all know that it is available for any Hawk to use. Enjoy and have fun. And Phase as always -=S=-Sable's next message is directed at any and all commanding officers,
Sirs and Ma'ams -=S=- I am inquiring as to our standing and views on the lessers in this new world. I know that Swyft made a comment that she did not set up spy cameras in the Tavern. I was wondering as to the reason for this. If there are any places or lessers that will should be left alone right now or we have a Truce with, Please let me know. If none are mentioned then I will consider all lessers fair game. I await your responseSable returns to her task of setting up the camera system in her chamber and waits for response from her brethren...6-20-99
Swyft replies to Sable's inquiry to the officers
. I personally know of no such truces. However, I assume that when Mavralyn spoke of such with Rasta, she spoke the truth. I will confer with the other officers regarding this. As to why I did not place surveillance cameras directly in the Watchful Spider Tavern...I had several reasons, and am...Swyft pauses for a moment I am more sure I made the right decision in not doing so the more I see. My reasoning is this. While I do not recall my own previous life as one of these creatures, I do know from observation that they are very perceptive, crafty creatures. I am certain they would have found the cameras at any rate. Secondly, they would, I am sure, have taken offense at the presence of any cameras. While I normally would not care one way or the other, I believe that some interaction with these creatures could be beneficial, as they have access to certain things that might be useful. I also feel of all the creatures swarming about this place, these actually may be dangerous. If you observe long enough, you will see most of the other lesser things in this place have a fear of these Drow, while some (ignorant though they may be) do not fear us. Obviously, there must be a reason they are regarded thus. And if in fact there is some sort of 'agreement' between Rasta and Mavralyn, I would not wish to be the one who stepped over the lines of protocol. Therefore, it is my recommendation to you to not place any surveillance cameras within Mavralyn's establishment yourself. I will answer any other concerns you may have whenever you wish. With regard to further action...Act as you see fit, Sable. I am a Shadow Merc...I watch endlessly, and tend to act in stealth. I can hardly expect to hold a Hawk to this behavior. Swyft raises an eyebrow at Sable and twists her lips into an almost grin. I do think if you return there you may wish to use the door however... Swyft chuckles slightly, a sound resembling an engine turning over. Turning, she heads out of the compound to check on a few things in person.

After talking with her commander, Sable has permission to continue on with her plans. Walking over to the Scourge's Wing, Sable asks for one of her Brothers or Sisters to help her with a project.
Could someone make me a tagging weapon? I need a way to mark targets that petty "magic" cannot block. Please contact me when you have this item set up. In the mean time, I will do with something that I am cobbling together. Strolling over to Supply, Sable picks out a camo suit and a cloaking suit. These will work fine for what she has in mind. Returning to her quarters, Sable dresses in her new suits and picks up the equipment that she has been working on in her spare time. Opening her Comm, Sable sends a message to all of her Brothers and Sisters. I am going out to spread the knowledge of MECH in the New World. Have your scanners ready to receive information about this venture. Also have weapons ready if the fleshlings show up at the door. Lock and Load, Cause this Hawk is taking flight.With that done, Sable heads out to one of the Fleshie camps to continue with her project.
