Tavern: this is a coversation I had with Alaaxis a few weeks ago about Timogen Tassadar: I don't know much about biology either. I guess we should find a triage center sometime. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras gets up and follows oothers Tavern: You see her and Traven sitting around a table talking like old friends. Tavern: He stops the 'tape' Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-is there much cybertech in this town? Tavern: "She is very important... please, will you please find her? Tassadar: Wait, what was the point of that tape? Tassadar: You two are friends? We already knew that! Tavern: You don't understand what this could mean... not just to me, but to all of us in the Concord. Brox Teneshe: You're with the Concord? Tavern: I don't know ... but I have a good idea who might be invovled. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-are there any other such recordings? Tassadar: But yes, we will try to find her. If you know any medical clinics, or disbarred doctors that don't ask too many questions, we would appreciate that too. Tavern: Watch this... Alaaxis's imagine continues to talk. Tavern nods to Tass iGM: Listen server closed for players...game in progress iGM: Fileserver started at address 211.162.145.104 port 9986 iGM: It was romantic at firts, as you'd expect. Irronically, one of the
things that first attracted me to Raive way; the aura of danger in him. He was
an oxygen runner, and oxygen runners face danger all the time. I was drawn to
that. Rhive was sure he could get away with anything. He thought was invincible,
and everything he did to himself all of the plants, reinforced that. He kept
saying the cyberware was making him better--stronger, faster, smarter. It was
shortly after got the reflex that I started to see a change in his personality.
After he'd had some more work done, he got steadily worse until I couldn't look
at him anymore. I left him, and he s been stalking me ever since. He left me a
message on my videophone and... a few other things. Tavern: The tape stops. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-do you know what he left her? Tassadar: If Erich weren't a frozen slab of goo, I'd suggest he hack into her phone messages. Tavern: 'lets just say, pieces of things he thought he didn't need anymore. Tassadar: Where was her apartment? Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-can we see this tape she talks about---videophone? Brox Teneshe drops is head at the mention of Erich's name. Tavern pulls up a file Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-what piece of things? Brox Teneshe: Traven, is Timogen from the Naric Domain? Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-mementos? Tavern: Here is her appartment ID, and... Brox Teneshe: I know they use cyberware extensively. Tavern: here are a few the last known associates... before he was TOO far gone. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-what do you mean too far gone? Tavern: Brenda Bhatnagar Tassadar: Ah, humans and their mechanical implants... So much more pleasing to run smooth and clean, the way nature intended. Tavern: , yes, thats it. Tavern hands the team the ID for a local doctor Tavern: "Tell I sent you, you shouldn't be charged." Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-what do you mena too far gone? Tassadar: Many thanks, sir. We will try our hardest to find your friend. Tavern: He has obviously felt to cykosis. Brox Teneshe repeats his ? about where Timogen is from, possibly the Nariac Domain? Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-the lesser races and their needs for enhancements Tavern: One last thing... find her alive, and get her to concord space... and I'll pay you extra for your trouble. Tavern checks his computer... Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-why is she so important? Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-does she have political connections/ (Tassadar to Brox Teneshe): I presume Timogen's from Lison, a native. The arrivers only got here a few years ago, right? Tavern: Humm... Tavern: isn't that interesting. (Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras to Brox Teneshe, Tassadar): You see "a flash" two Men
In Back.... and bio-meck man in a wall of computers... and then a little girl
holding a flower. this is what i envisioned Tavern: Raive isn't from here... he arrived only a few years ago. (Brox Teneshe to Tassadar): No, actually there have been many generations that have grown up here, I believe. Tavern: It is possible he is from the Domain, but I can't say that for sure. (Tassadar to Brox Teneshe, Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras): Okay, that mystical vision told me absolutely nothing. What about you? (Brox Teneshe to Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras): I'm new to these "visions" it is hard to know what to make of it. (Brox Teneshe to Tassadar): Same here. (Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras to Brox Teneshe, Tassadar): cyotek guy gardyhi little girl with flower---who knows Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-why is alaax so important? Tavern: I need to hold that close to myself. Brox Teneshe: This seems to have little to do with "45", when everyone elses live seems to revolve around it. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras do you owe her i bigtime favor Tavern: I made a promise to her not to disclose that. (Tassadar to Brox Teneshe, Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras): sounds plausible. I wonder where that black fog on the stage came from. If it's gardhyi, we are probably out of our league. Tavern: It has more to do with '45' than you might think. Tavern: I hold to my origanl promise. Brox Teneshe: Is the Concord looking for her? (Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras to Tassadar): probably...my wrist symbiot did twingle Tavern: I'll get you a load, at a discount, and pay for her safe travel. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-though i have ways with the weak minded, i shall not probe you for now Tavern: The Concord... no. But we need to get her out of this system... Tavern: to concord space. Bluefall would be best. (Tassadar to Brox Teneshe, Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras): I say we grab a girl off the street, force her to get some cosmetic surgery to resemble Alaxis, claim the reward, and split. Tavern: Or anywhere safe that could get her there! (Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras to Tassadar): now that is funny (Brox Teneshe to Tassadar): Unscrupulous man. Unscrupulous. Brox Teneshe: Understood. (Tassadar to Brox Teneshe): No, just very focused on completing my mission objectives. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mkl-i need some rest....the call of the void is a harsh master (Tassadar to Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras): Remember, that one guy freaked out when you probed him. We might need to cool it with that for a while. Brox Teneshe checks the laser pistol. Are these untracable? Tassadar: I suggest we head to that doctor, get some meds, take 5, and plan our next move. Tavern smiles Tavern: no (Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras to Tassadar): i think the dm overruled my good success and thats what happened Tavern places a 3D on the table. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-i thought that there were three pistols? Tassadar: [[ there were -- and one rifle ]] Tavern: here is a little something to keep you motivated. Go to a nice hotel... that 3D is only good in Lison (Brox Teneshe to GM): Does it us the stats out of the PHB or one out of the S*D A&E Guide? Tassadar takes the 3D "virtual money". Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras picks up the pistol and the rifle Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-someone needs to carry them Tavern: it has 5000 $C tribons Tassadar: [[Now I can buy many more Unknown Sparkly Rocks.]] Brox Teneshe hides the pistol in his jumpsuit. Tavern: [ok] Brox Teneshe: I'm probably going to regret this. Tassadar: Traven, we will contact you every 24 hours in our investigation. Tavern: sounds good Tassadar: ... Or when there's something that deserves a report. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras puts back weapons under his cassock Tassadar: In the meantime, let's move out. Tavern: If you get VERY stuck... Tavern: let me know. Otherwise, plesae stay out of my place Tavern smiles as he looks around Brox Teneshe nods politely. Tavern: [as much as a fish face man can] Tassadar: By the way, you might want to tear down that back wall. Tavern looks questioningly Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-lesser consider it my pleasure if our paths do not habe to cross again except when we have to Brox Teneshe: Come on Tass. Let the wall in peace. Tassadar: The builder's code for this city and I have some unfinished business. I still remember what happened earlier this afternoon, too. But I am ready to go if you are. Brox Teneshe smiles. Brox Teneshe: You ready Rubiks? Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-may the void be a harsh master of your destiny, lesser Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras leaves the bar Tassadar helps drag Maverik's passed out body to the doctor Traven mentioned. Tavern: It is close bye... Brox Teneshe assist Maverik, and they head out the bar as well. Tassadar gestures for Kevlarn, Vinny, King , etc. to follow. Tavern: you arrive in 10 min. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-kevlarn please follow iGM: Player request refused; game in progress Tavern: Vinny seems to be gone iGM: Listen server open for players...

Maverik: me GM: I'll be the judge of that!" (Maverik to Tassadar): what else happened? GM: SHe shoots him up.. with the booster, and then works on the wounds Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-none for me thanks, its nothing but a bruise GM: -4 wounds - if needed] Maverik: Thanks doc GM: "next?' Brox Teneshe get wide, surprised at how bitchy she is, although good. (Tassadar to Maverik): The others will probably explain. We talked to Traven (the guy who owns the bar), and he basically explained the situation all over again. GM rolls 1d20 for a result of 20 Tassadar: Me Brox Teneshe: [[... eyes get wide... GM: "Woops" GM: +1w Tassadar: Argh! GM: "I don't understand? Tassadar: What are you, some kind of quack? GM: I need to check you in for the night...

I hope we won't need your services again, and we can leave you in peace. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras: [200k] GM: Look not to happy about, but says "On the house" Brox Teneshe: [[taken care of, by Traven]] Tassadar: [[ it was free - traven gave us some money ]] Maverik: Great. how much? Tassadar: $5000 Maverik: Even Greater GM: [she doesn't even ask forthe 3D] GM: any one else?" Maverik: What else happened? Brox Teneshe looks at King. Maverik puts on his CF Softsuit1. GM: "Oh, poor thing!!!" - now her voice is butter GM rolls 1d20 for a result of 1 Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-the dog creature needs some attention...could you help him Maverik: we got treatment from a vet??:) GM: She REALLY knows her way around a dog! Tassadar waves its tail in frustration, and mutters quietly in Taasan, "She treats household vermin better than a Tsa!" GM: Kings coat even looks shinny as new when she is done. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-what do you think a mutant fish would get treated by? Brox Teneshe: Let go, its getting late. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-tass, thats actually the other way around... GM: the doc waves bye - perhaps to the team. Tassadar: I'm exhausted. Let's find a place to rest that doesn't have any walls. Maverik: no wonder she didn't ask for money. she wasn;t supposed to treat Humans. Or T'sa GM: The 'early morning' mode lights start to humm.

Then it scans the data slate for news about the fight. GM: actions mav?] Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras: Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras restores all his psionic energy points.

GM: to the appartment is close to an hour, given the conditions now. GM: once there you see a locked (of course) door... GM: the hallway is clear, but...

Right now, I fail. ]] Maverik: Rubicks. could you teleport inside and open it from there? Brox Teneshe: Hmm. I can try, but I don'y have much experience in this. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-i could walk the dimensitons Tassadar examines the building: any way to scamper up the walls, smash a window, and clamber in that way? Maverik: what's that? GM: [nope... you could punch a hole in the wall?] Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras grabs tassadar and concentrates Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras: [warp gate to otherside of door] Tassadar: Help!

Tassadar: .... said Tassadar to Rubiks. Rubiks'Nox -- Shakuras mk-that really is the touch of innocence Brox Teneshe listens at the door to see what the guy in the hallway is talking about, if it is them.

the wires, and the in madness. Most of the time, his face is frozen in a cold
stare, shadowed in a dark room filled with blinking lights, twisted metal and
loose wiring. You see less and humanity every minute, as he waves a severed arm
or talks of replacing eyes with black metal orbs that see only loathing. There's an inexplicable charisma his hate, the way he holds himself and
measures each word. Some of that lost over time, though, as he degrades from
calculating madman to screaming monster. The messages grow increasingly perverse
and twisted until, finially, you've had enough.
