Sable pauses in her patrol with Ember. Deep in her core, she feels something is wrong. Her surveillance systems start going crazy. Checking them, she sees that Mourn is no longer responding. Her reading flashes Unit Mourn has powered down and is not longer function.

Sable stares at the reading in shock. Then, slowly at first, she cries.

Sable rises up straight and proud. She looks to the sky and raises her hand in a final salute to her fallen brother.

I will miss you Mourn. Take care.

Sable/Michele

Tears that fall from grief and pain

Only shows our hearts are torn

We can only proud remain we had the privilege of knowing Mourn

We all have memories of our brother

Remembering all he did and taught

There will never be another

But he'll live forever in tale and thought

I didn't know you long Bro but I'm sure going to miss you.

Chela

Many thoughts run through my head

Mayo wars and twitches

All the things that will never be said.

Mayo Man, you are my friend,

my confidant, my brother

you always had an ear to lend.

The thought of knowing you will

always be here to cheer up my day

for my thoughts will be with you still.

Mayo Man,

I will miss you.

The tears that well in my eyes and heart

show the sadness of your being taken from us.

But I will remember the counsel you gave.

I will remember the twitches you suffered -smiles weakly-

I will remember the mayo filled twinkies left on my lawn.

But most of all I will remember you love of life,

your love for your brothers and sisters,

and your dedication to a guild to the very end.

Thank you Mourn for all that you were and all that you have done.

Your friend,

Michelle (Sleek's player)

-Stands and salutes his brother one final time-

Thanks bro...for everything.

I hope you know how much your friendship meant

to all of us...how much it meant to me.

Brother, you will always live on in our hearts.

Therefore it is only appropriate that you are, an Immortal

Best of Friends

Picked up the paper this morning,

Could not believe what I saw.

Friend of mine was killed running from the law,

I can still see the face of my old friend,

In the picture that stared back at me,

And through the tears,

I went back through the years,

To remember the time when we were...

Playing 'pirates' in the school yard, 'singing', 'soldiers in the field'

We were dreaming', brothers in blood till the very end,

We were, best of friends, best of friends,

Always hang together, forever, I thought we'd always be that way,

But in time you grow up and you slip away.

It was 13 years since I'd seen him,

This friend that I no longer knew.

His mother, God bless her,

Asked me if I'd say a word or two.

Looking out at a room full of strangers,

I didn't know quite what to say,

Allz I could tell was of two old friends,

And some long gone, summer days of,

Playing 'pirates' in the school yard, 'singing', 'soldiers in the field'

We were dreaming', brothers in blood till the very end,

We were, best of friends, best of friends,

Always hang together, forever, I thought we'd always be that way,

But in time you grow up and you slip away.

Friends like him don't come very often,

You never treasure them while there's time,

And if they slip away, you've got to somehow say,

"Your still on my mind."

So your memory is all I have left now,

These words are all I can give,

And from time to time, I'll turn back in my mind,

To the place where you'll always live,

Playing 'pirates' in the school yard, 'singing', 'soldiers in the field'

We were dreaming', brothers in blood till the very end,

We were, best of friends, best of friends,

Always hang together, forever, I thought we'd always be that way,

Cause we were, best of friends, best of friends

But in time you grow up and you slip away, slip away.

Joe was my truest frined in life..

he never once lied to me.. or led me astray..

this is for me as well as you Nyf..

Mourn bro I will miss your smiles and twitches

and most of all you.

You will be sadly missed.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Love you bro, Triss

Hey all

I am deeply saddened by the loss of our brother. I will miss him greatly.

Circe turns and Salutes her brother Mourn, one last time ;(

I dont have a poem to write or anything like that. But damn this hit me like a ton of bricks, I started crying 5 minutes ago after I read what happened and havent stopped. There is alot I can say but I will save it for now till I calm down. But I can say that Mourn was the epitomy of MECH, and a human being. He is someone I would model my own son after. That being said, I cant say anything else right now. Sadly I only have a coupla pics of him and me from our UO days, but if anyone needs them for the website I would be happy to let you have them. Take care bro, ya made alot of people happy while you where here, and we will never forget ya, I know I wont .

* I am personally touched by this moment and need to recooperate. I lived only about 12 hours away from Mourn in ooc, I am feeling shaky and unstable. I thank all of you for comeing and showing your respect. Mourn was there for us when we were down and felt like quitting, like I have many times and now he is not here so I can return the favor. I am not quitting for he would not want it that way for any of us, we must continue. Mourn as you might know had muscular distrophy if you are confused with the matter. I havent felt this bad since my parents died in an accident when I was younger. I am left alone and cold again for mourn was really the only MECH I could relate to here, I will miss him greatly and thank you all, I will be gone for about 1 week at least...He knew he was not going to make it through this one...we talked for about 4 hours a bit before he passed on and he just knew..... *

God speed brother mourn, we love you and will see you later~

I'm not sure where to begin...too many thoughts course through my heart-broken mind. Tears spill down my cheeks as I write this...I'm angry and sad...shaken, torn. I didn't know Mourn really well...but he was always there for me...Through all my troubles, late at night...when ever I needed a friend he was there. I hurt mostly because I can't be there for him...I hate the distances between people....the miles that seperate us all. That's what really hurts me because I know he is at peace now...Mourn-doll...I'm going to miss you terribly so...

"Boku no uchyuu kimi ga iru."

My Family,

I don't know where to start. I was not aware that Mourn was ill. I guess that he only wanted a few to know. I will miss him very much. I am proud to have known him if only over a machine. His high spirits at all times even while sick is truly honorable. You will always be remembered and you will always live in our hearts.

Mourn my Brother:

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For Brothers to dwell together in

UNITY!

(Psalms 133)

Kevin/ Hyena

It's particularly difficult to say goodbye to a friend. Especially one as wonderful as Mourn was. A few of us knew that this day would eventually come, but being who he was, he never dwelt on that fact. Instead, he lived life every day, the best that he could. Something I think we all could learn from.

Do not be angry...He was ready for his time. And he loved all of you. Remember his spirit. Rejoice that you knew him on this earth for the time that you did.

I consider it a privilage that he had asked me to meet him in person. Knowing how hard it was for him to let his friends see him in person, I was very touched and agreed full heartedly. At first, knowing his condition, I was a bit uncomfortable at going to see him, but his friendship was very important to me. I am glad I had that opportunity to spend time with him in person. To have my picture taken with him. I'll treasure it always as I'll treasure everything that he did for me and for MECH.

He never told many of you his condition. He just wanted to be one of the guys. But he was far more then that. To see the sparkle of life in his eyes. The smile on his face. He was a wonderful friend.

I Love you, Brother. I'll miss you, my Brother...but I'll never forget.

Greets all...

Nyfer, bro, I wish you the best...and although you had to bring us bad news we all appreciate your doing so. I'm sure it was not easy. Please express our feelings to Mourn's family as well.

` Thru the power of a computer Mourn made many many friends. If only limited to MECH he managed to touch many 100's of people. I believe he knew he could touch people in this way and that is why he loved being online with us.

There is now a folder in FW for anyone wishing to express their feelings. There is also a house in the town of Kurz named "MournTribute." The door will always be open. If you wish, please stop by and engrave something and leave it inside.

We're definitely going to miss him...but we also have to realize just how much enjoyment he found with us over the years...and more importantly, just how much enjoyment he created FOR us!

Mourn, bro, give Alita a hug for me. Good bye bro. You'll always be a part of us all!

Rob/Ember

I'm sorry I didn't say much last night, it came as a total shock to me. Especially to find out that one so full of life is actually sufferring in real life. Its those people that are able to overcome their own misfortunes in life, who bring joy and happiness to those around them, that are truly great. I salute you Mourn. Yours is a spirit that will be greatly missed, and isn't one we see all too often.

On a final note, there has already been a house set up for Mourn last night. MemorialToMourn in Monmouth. There were lots of items left for him last night and we thought it only fitting that a memorial be set up for him.

I will have more later.
