welcome to #suburbansenshi2
[20:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> You're just going to surrender
[20:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> ?
[20:02] <Matsuo Shin> so you are giving in
[20:03] <ambassador mercury> Again, what would be gained by conflict.
[20:03] <ambassador mercury> Eventually, over the course of centuries, we will moderate the impulses of the "conquering" nation.
[20:03] <Matsuo Shin> your continued existance
[20:03] <Matsuo Shin> do you think the long run your enemy will logically keep you around
[20:04] <ambassador mercury> Once societal integration has occured it will be possible to alter policy.
[20:04] <ambassador mercury> Yes.
[20:04] <Matsuo Shin> why
[20:04] <ambassador mercury> If the Enemy wished to obliterare us, they would have done so already.
[20:04] <ambassador mercury> They have the means, clearly.
[20:05] <Matsuo Shin> they also need you for some reason for now
[20:05] <@The Intern> Do they, truly?
[20:06] <ambassador mercury> Our observations indicate they are close to perfecting the Silence DEvice.
[20:06] <ambassador mercury> It is only a matter of time.
[20:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...
[20:06] <Matsuo Shin> ...I see
[20:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> You mean that wasn't just a wild guess?!
[20:07] <Matsuo Shin> ...very well
[20:07] <ambassador mercury> Very soon they will have the power to sterilize whole solar systems.
[20:07] <Matsuo Shin> I need a walk...
[20:07] * Matsuo Shin is away
[20:07] <David O`Cain> Okay, Matsuo.
[20:12] <@The Intern> ...
[20:14] <@The Intern> You knew this for how long?
[20:14] <ambassador mercury> Nothing in this system goes unobserved.
[20:14] <ambassador mercury> He moves between the stars.
[20:14] <ambassador mercury> He plants things on various worlds.
[20:15] <ambassador mercury> You do not See Him.
[20:15] <@The Intern> ...Who?
[20:15] <ambassador mercury> The Man you all have watched for Years.
[20:15] <ambassador mercury> The Man you Suspect.
[20:15] <ambassador mercury> He Travels the Stars.
[20:16] <@The Intern> ...you don't mean...
[20:16] <ambassador mercury> We do not Share our Intelligence.
[20:16] <@The Intern> Yet you told us Jupiter was close to completing a Silence Device.
[20:16] <ambassador mercury> Of course.
[20:17] <@The Intern> ...
[20:17] <@The Intern> I see.
[20:17] <ambassador mercury> Resistance is Useless.
[20:17] <Matsuo Shin> that sounds familer
[20:17] * Matsuo Shin is back
[20:17] <ambassador mercury> It would be the wisest course to accept this.
[20:17] <Matsuo Shin> ..I'm starting to see patterns in all this
[20:17] <@The Intern> ....Thank you for your counsel.
[20:17] <@The Intern> You may go.
[20:18] <ambassador mercury> We Never Go.
[20:18] <ambassador mercury> We are everywhere.
[20:18] <ambassador mercury> But we shall... decentralize, for now.
[20:18] * ambassador mercury disperses.
[20:18] <@The Intern> They're asking for help, in so many words.
[20:18] <@The Intern> They don't want to fight.
[20:19] <@The Intern> They want us to fight.
[20:19] * Matsuo Shin pauses..then picks up a glass and throws it at the wall
[20:19] <@The Intern> That's why they released their information to us.
[20:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> Vandal!
[20:19] * @Chateaux Concierge catches the glass
[20:20] * Matsuo Shin sits at the bar
[20:22] * @The Intern sits next to him./
[20:22] <@The Intern> What are you thinking?
[20:22] <David O`Cain> Sabatogue the device? Render it inert somehow?
[20:23] <Matsuo Shin> nothing...a bit disgusted that's all
[20:23] <@The Intern> We have to locate it first.
[20:25] <David O`Cain> Surely they realized that the Princess is NOT the Princess at all.
[20:26] <Matsuo Shin> I don't think they care
[20:26] <Matsuo Shin> logic has been bred into their society
[20:26] <David O`Cain> Well s[BLEEP]t.
[20:27] <Matsuo Shin> logic mearly allows one to be wrong with authority
[20:27] <@The Intern> Wise words.
[20:28] <Matsuo Shin> so..where do we go from here
[20:31] <@The Intern> With the Mercurians' capitulation also comes the fact that we now have no "in" to Jupiter or "Kino Makoto"
[20:32] <Matsuo Shin> yes...
[20:32] <Matsuo Shin> for now we're at a dead end
[20:33] <@The Intern> If you think Three-Dimensionally, yes.
[20:34] <Matsuo Shin> what are you suggesting
[20:34] *** one sec the cat is harassing me
[20:36] <David O`Cain> (( KITTY! ))
[20:36] <@The Intern> In the Timw War...
[20:36] <@The Intern> when we fought for control of territory..
[20:37] <@The Intern> we simply erected bases where we would need them.
[20:38] <@The Intern> Thus when the enemy invaded, we were already entrenshed.
[20:38] <@The Intern> ^entrenched.
[20:38] <David O`Cain> Handy.
[20:38] <@The Intern> We could apply similar tactics here.
[20:39] <@The Intern> Pre-Seed the Solar System with our own probes.
[20:39] <Matsuo Shin> ..that's a good idea...
[20:39] <Matsuo Shin> ..how do we keep them from noticing them though
[20:40] <@The Intern> That firewall I was investigating the other day.
[20:40] <@The Intern> If we could mass-produce it.
[20:40] * Matsuo Shin holds up the item from before and hands it to Intern
[20:41] * @The Intern turns to Chat--
[20:41] <David O`Cain> Firewall?
[20:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> Sensor grids scanning.
[20:41] * @Chateaux Concierge shows a map of the Solar System, where the probes are putting out sonar-like "pings".
[20:42] * @The Intern reacts to this as if it was perfectly normal.
[20:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> Once I knew to look for our probes, there they were.
[20:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> Because we will have put them there.
[20:43] <David O`Cain> So, the Time Lords hid themselves within Moon Kingdom territory?
[20:43] * @The Intern gets the process of probe production going.
[20:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> No.
[20:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> We just decided to mine the solar system with probes.
[20:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> So it will be done.
[20:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> And since it will be done, it was done.
[20:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> And since it was done, the probes have always been there.
[20:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> And so I can access them now that I'm aware of their existence.
[20:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> Make sense?
[20:44] <David O`Cain> Hmmm.
[20:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> I f you think that's bad a true full on Time War is a Billionty times more complex.
[20:46] <David O`Cain> Still, these probes would have been found some time ago by Moon Kingdom forces.
[20:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> LOL
[20:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> the cloaking device thing Matsuo found
[20:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> MAtsuo explain it to him
[20:47] <Matsuo Shin> the cloaking technology apperetly is impervious to both temporal and psychic scans
[20:48] <Matsuo Shin> more then likey it wouldn't be able to be found by those of the moon kingdom
[20:49] <David O`Cain> Even technological? :/
[20:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> LOL
[20:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> Anyway
[20:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> so yeah they're online
[20:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> Some were lost to attrition obviously, collisions with other craft and such...
[20:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> Meteorite impacts...

[21:02] <@The Intern> But if their scanners are detected...
[21:02] <@The Intern> They have that massive weapon.
[21:03] <David O`Cain> True. Best to keep things covert for now.
[21:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> I wonder if I can try again

[21:07] *** You detect Saturnian Emissions... stand by...
[21:07] <David O`Cain> Wow.
[21:08] <Matsuo Shin> excellent
[21:08] *** you find an object 3.8 kilometres in diameter, orbiting Jupiter at an average distance of 22,713 Mm in 699.327 days, at an inclination of 167° to the ecliptic (169° to Jupiter's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.2916.
[21:09] *** The irregular moon Chaldene.
[21:09] *** The emissions are coming from there
[21:10] *** NEXT TIME ON SUBURBAN SENSHI: THE NEXT GENERATION: ATTACK ON CHALDENE1

[21:10] * @Lt. Commander Chateaux LaForge is now known as Chateaux Concierge
[21:15] <David O`Cain> So, we got an ID?
[21:15] <@Chateaux Concierge> The Jovian moon Chaldene.
[21:17] <David O`Cain> Chaldene, eh? (opens a vid-window to info on the moon)

[21:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> There's the little space-turd
[21:23] <David O`Cain> Hmm. Seems current astronomers don't have much on this particular moon.
[21:25] <David O`Cain> And to be honest, I don't know much on it either.
[21:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> We need a s[BLEEP]tton of Bothan spies <_<
[21:27] <Matsuo Shin> Bothan?
[21:28] <David O`Cain> Movie reference, Matsuo.
[21:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh they were real.
[21:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> poor Bothans.
[21:29] <David O`Cain> Oh.
[21:31] *** Actually I may hold off the invasion until Sunday night.
[21:31] <David O`Cain> (( Okay. ))
[21:32] *** So maybe we can find some fodder I mean daring spies to reconnoiter the moon.
[21:38] <David O`Cain> So, what's the next part, guys?
[21:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> We need to get more info on the moon.
[21:42] <David O`Cain> Right.
[21:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> We probably need boots on the ground.
[21:45] <David O`Cain> We'd need some damn good infiltrators.
[21:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah. Probably a small team.
[21:47] <David O`Cain> Hmmmm.
[21:50] *** Simon Kerrick has joined #suburbansenshi2
[21:50] <@spiritflame> konbanwa simon kerrick
[21:51] <Matsuo Shin> hello simon
[21:51] <Simon Kerrick> Hello there, Matsuo.
[21:51] <Simon Kerrick> I don't see you around here often. How are things?
[21:51] <@The Intern> Hello, Mister Kerrick.
[21:51] <Matsuo Shin> troubling
[21:51] <Simon Kerrick> Hello there, Intern.
[21:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yo.
[21:51] <Simon Kerrick> Troubling?
[21:51] <Simon Kerrick> What's wrong?
[21:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> Matsuo give him the cliff's notes <_<
[21:52] <Matsuo Shin> do you recall the eightfold empire?
[21:53] <Simon Kerrick> No?
[21:53] <Matsuo Shin> alright..well
[21:53] * Matsuo Shin takes a deep breath
[21:54] * Simon Kerrick raises one eyebrow.
[21:55] * Simon Kerrick counts some money.
[21:55] <Matsuo Shin> the eightfold empire is..was...
[21:56] *** Young Lich has placed $4,800,000 in cash in Inventory Slot: 5
[21:56] <Simon Kerrick> Yes?
[21:56] <Matsuo Shin> made up of the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and 134340
[21:56] <Simon Kerrick> .....
[21:56] <Simon Kerrick> You are joking.
[21:56] <Simon Kerrick> There's nothing there.
[21:56] <Simon Kerrick> I've looked---in books
[21:56] <Simon Kerrick> It's clouds.
[21:57] <Simon Kerrick> That's what Raihosha said.
[21:57] <Matsuo Shin> there was...
[21:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Can we not disgress.
[21:57] <Matsuo Shin> rai was wrong
[21:57] <Matsuo Shin> yes...
[21:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^digress.
[21:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Go on Matsuo
[21:57] * Simon Kerrick looks really really suspect. "I will want to know more about this. Much more."
[21:57] <Simon Kerrick> But yes, continue.
[21:59] <Matsuo Shin> (( give me a sec ))
[22:00] <Matsuo Shin> (( graduation stuff ))
[22:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> So these civilizations appeared out of pockets in space. I suppose similar to your Enclave.
[22:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> They then hid themselves from the eyes of man, and sent emissaries to visit us, deeking to see if we were worthy of diplomatic relations.
[22:01] <Matsuo Shin> (( ok back ))
[22:01] <Matsuo Shin> ..and then it all snowballed..
[22:02] * @Chateaux Concierge lets him coninue
[22:02] <Simon Kerrick> ....Unfortunate I was not able to talk to them.
[22:02] <Simon Kerrick> They could have told me something I REALLY wanted to know.
[22:03] <Simon Kerrick> Wait, don't tell me that they figured that you guys were lessthan ideal diplomats?
[22:03] <Matsuo Shin> it ends up amoung them was a traitor
[22:03] <Simon Kerrick> Oooooh
[22:03] <Matsuo Shin> who rapidly turned each of them around..
[22:03] <Simon Kerrick> "turned them around?"
[22:04] <@The Intern> Exacerbated ancient conflicts.
[22:04] <Matsuo Shin> turned them upon one another
[22:04] <Matsuo Shin> (( sorry I'm worn out ))
[22:04] <@The Intern> Eight became six...
[22:04] <@The Intern> And Six became Three.
[22:04] <Matsuo Shin> ..and then six became three
[22:04] <David O`Cain> Yeah. Things went downhill quickly.
[22:04] <Matsuo Shin> ....and now three have become two
[22:04] <Matsuo Shin> .............we finally identified the tratior
[22:04] <Matsuo Shin> *traitor
[22:05] <Matsuo Shin> the one who betrayed everyone...
[22:05] <Matsuo Shin> the princess of jupiter
[22:05] <Matsuo Shin> Makoto Kino
[22:05] <Simon Kerrick> pffft, what do you mean?
[22:06] <Simon Kerrick> So the union is broken up, or are they all dead?
[22:06] <@The Intern> And now Jupiter demands the surrender of Mercury.
[22:06] <Simon Kerrick> Which, ironically, would make my earlier beliefs correct after all?
[22:06] <Simon Kerrick> So wait.
[22:06] <Simon Kerrick> This is THE Makoto Kino
[22:06] <@The Intern> And Mars is torn by war between the Firestorm and the Ice Warriors.
[22:07] <David O`Cain> Mmmm, not quite, Kerrick.
[22:07] <@The Intern> Makot Kino never existed.
[22:07] <Simon Kerrick> The one who is supposedly one of the royal guard?
[22:07] <@The Intern> She was a fiction.
[22:07] <Simon Kerrick> Uh, are you sure about this?
[22:07] <Simon Kerrick> That seems to be a huge accusation.
[22:07] <@The Intern> A fabricated identity.
[22:07] <Simon Kerrick> ......................................
[22:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yesh we're quite sure.
[22:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> The Princess of Jupiter made a Faustian Deal at the end of her life hoping to fight on.
[22:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> But it didn't work. and her soul was consumed.
[22:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> And that... thing was brought forward.
[22:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> And for years it carefully played a role of hero.
[22:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> Until the Eightfold re-emerged into our space.
[22:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> And then it struck.
[22:09] <@The Intern> And now Jupiter is engineering a device that will allow it to Sterilize the solar system.
[22:09] <Simon Kerrick> ....I need to speak to this person.
[22:09] <Simon Kerrick> Whaaaaaat?
[22:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> Don't we all.
[22:09] <Matsuo Shin> yes
[22:09] <Simon Kerrick> I need to as much as you. I think I understand her better.
[22:10] <Simon Kerrick> So. Why does she want Mercury?
[22:10] * ambassador mercury reforms out of the air
[22:10] <Simon Kerrick> Is she after the person, or the pitiful little ball of cork?
[22:10] <Simon Kerrick> rock
[22:10] * ambassador mercury laughs
[22:10] <ambassador mercury> What do you want.
[22:10] <ambassador mercury> Moving about the empire.
[22:11] * Simon Kerrick looks at Ambassador Mercury.
[22:11] *** Ambassador Mercury is
hir image Song is: "Mine the Planet Below" by The Precursors.
[22:12] * Simon Kerrick looks awed.
[22:12] <Simon Kerrick> .....Greetings.
[22:12] <ambassador mercury> Greetings.
[22:12] * ambassador mercury spreads out intoa fine mist and vanishes, and then reforms.
[22:12] <Simon Kerrick> Very impressive. I have only seen.... wow.
[22:12] * ambassador mercury emerges from intern's nostrils and reforms into another
[22:12] <Simon Kerrick> Do you already know who I am?
[22:13] * Matsuo Shin just silently watches
[22:13] * ambassador mercury emerges from matsuo's nostrils and reforms
[22:13] * Simon Kerrick narrows his eyes, having thought of something.
[22:13] * ambassador mercury is now known as Three Ambassador Mercuries
[22:13] <Three Ambassador Mercuries> We Know Much.
[22:13] <David O`Cain> (That would be "aheeeew.")
[22:13] <Simon Kerrick> I do not wish to wast your time, after all. My name is Simon.
[22:13] <Three Ambassador Mercuries> We are Aware.
[22:14] <Simon Kerrick> Might I ask who has told you about me? Many are so dreadfully biased.
[22:14] * Simon Kerrick is actually not very impressed with the 3 for 1 trick.
[22:14] <Three Ambassador Mercuries> The trick is not in the multiplication.
[22:14] <Three Ambassador Mercuries> Nor is a trick.
[22:14] * Matsuo Shin blanks himself out for the moment
[22:14] *** Matsuo Shin [Shin@history.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi2
[22:15] * partcicles emerge from within the spaces between atoms and more Mercurians appear.
[22:15] * Three Ambassador Mercuries is now known as Fifty Mercurians
[22:15] <Fifty Mercurians > We permeate.
[22:15] <Fifty Mercurians > We Observe.
[22:15] <Simon Kerrick> I do not understand.
[22:15] <Fifty Mercurians > Everything.
[22:15] <@Chateaux Concierge> Simon.
[22:16] <Simon Kerrick> I do not believe you, I fear.
[22:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> If you wanted to hide.
[22:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> You'd place yourself between two rocks let's say.
[22:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> Where someone looking at the wrong angel wouldn't see you.
[22:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> Follow?
[22:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^angle
[22:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> They just hide behind smaller rocks.
[22:17] <Fifty Mercurians > Believe whatever is most comforting to you.
[22:17] <Simon Kerrick> .................
[22:17] <Fifty Mercurians > Your belief or disbelief is irrelevant to us.
[22:17] <Simon Kerrick> I find it difficult to consider that I am dealing with a person who knows everything about me.
[22:17] <Simon Kerrick> ....because I guard those secrets fiercely.
[22:18] <Simon Kerrick> Let's move on.
[22:18] <Simon Kerrick> I do not at all like where this is headed.
[22:18] <Simon Kerrick> So.
[22:18] <Fifty Mercurians > We did not comment on the extent of our knowledge.
[22:18] <Simon Kerrick> They want you to surrender?
[22:18] <Fifty Mercurians > We stated that we knew Much.
[22:18] <Fifty Mercurians > Indeed.
[22:18] <Fifty Mercurians > We have accepted.
[22:18] * Simon Kerrick manages to not roll hise yes at this denial. He keeps smiling.
[22:18] <Simon Kerrick> Ah. Are you sure that they won't just destroy you?
[22:18] <Fifty Mercurians > They will not.
[22:19] <Simon Kerrick> How do you know?
[22:19] <Fifty Mercurians > If they had intended to, they would have.
[22:19] <Fifty Mercurians > They have the means.
[22:19] <Simon Kerrick> Hmmmmm.
[22:19] <Simon Kerrick> What?
[22:19] <Simon Kerrick> Absurd.
[22:19] <Simon Kerrick> What could possibly destroy a planet?
[22:19] <@The Intern> I ask again, do they really.
[22:19] <Fifty Mercurians > A planet is merely a large mass-body.
[22:20] <Fifty Mercurians > Sufficient energies can easily destroy it.
[22:20] * @Chateaux Concierge shows Simon the death=star like lightning attack from Jupiter that hit mars
[22:20] * Simon Kerrick 's eyes light up, but he says nothing.
[22:21] * Simon Kerrick looks up into the sky to check what that looks like.
[22:21] * Simon Kerrick looks at what is and is not there.
[22:21] *** Mars is still intact, the blast only did a small amount of damage, on purpose.
[22:22] <Fifty Mercurians > Why are you traveling the "empty spaces".
[22:22] <Simon Kerrick> I don't know what you are talking about.
[22:23] * Fifty Mercurians remain impassive.
[22:23] <Fifty Mercurians > It is not our concern. Yet.
[22:23] <Fifty Mercurians > Be mindful of where you tread.
[22:23] * Simon Kerrick stops smiling.
[22:24] <Simon Kerrick> It is not as though things were marked.
[22:24] <Fifty Mercurians > Consider Mercury marked.
[22:24] <Simon Kerrick> It was my understanding that they are empty lifeless balls of rocked.
[22:25] <Fifty Mercurians > You understood poorly.
[22:25] <Simon Kerrick> Perhaps your problem is with those who propogate that knowledge.
[22:25] <Fifty Mercurians > It will be forgiven. This time.
[22:25] * Matsuo Shin reappears and pours himself a drink
[22:25] <Simon Kerrick> So. You have decided to surrender, then.
[22:25] <Fifty Mercurians > We will triumph in the longer term.
[22:25] * Simon Kerrick nods.
[22:25] <Fifty Mercurians > There is no need for pointless conflict now.
[22:26] <Simon Kerrick> How do you forsee the resolution, then? You WILL have to pardon my ignorance I am afraid.
[22:26] * Matsuo Shin listens and does not make eye contact
[22:26] <Fifty Mercurians > We estimate within a span of 7200 years we will have molded Jovian society to the Mercurian Normality.
[22:26] <Fifty Mercurians > Progress is... inevitable.
[22:27] <Simon Kerrick> What is the Mercurian Normality?
[22:27] <Fifty Mercurians > We ar ethe Normality.
[22:28] <Simon Kerrick> Yes, that is what I asked. What is the Mercurian Normality?
[22:28] <Fifty Mercurians > We are the Normality.
[22:28] <Matsuo Shin> they are "evolved"
[22:28] <@The Intern> ...Are you a gestalt consciousness?
[22:28] <David O`Cain> Hmmm.
[22:28] <Fifty Mercurians > That is perhaps the most fitting descriptor.
[22:29] <Fifty Mercurians > We are I. I am Many.
[22:29] <Simon Kerrick> Oh.
[22:29] * Simon Kerrick looks somewhat disappointed.
[22:30] <Simon Kerrick> It puzzles me. Are you many, or are you one?
[22:30] * Matsuo Shin offers intern some whiskey
[22:31] <Fifty Mercurians > There is no distinction.
[22:31] <David O`Cain> For you are Legion.
[22:31] <Fifty Mercurians > I am Legion.
[22:32] <Matsuo Shin> I understand
[22:32] * Simon Kerrick looks at this, trying to see if he recognizes these beings after all.
[22:32] * Simon Kerrick looks at Ambassador Mercury.
[22:32] *** Ambassador Mercury is
hir image Song is: "Mine the Planet Below" by The Precursors.
[22:33] * Simon Kerrick seems to furrow his brow. "You are, indeed, more than you appear to be."
[22:33] <Simon Kerrick> So you plan to surrender. You do not wish assistance, then?
[22:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> So the fact you were coming out of everyone's nose...
[22:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> You've been in their bloodstreams as well?
[22:33] <Fifty Mercurians > We have been everywhere.
[22:34] <Simon Kerrick> Really?
[22:34] <Simon Kerrick> Everywhere?
[22:34] <Simon Kerrick> REALLY?
[22:34] <Fifty Mercurians > We move in all subatomic spaces.
[22:34] <Simon Kerrick> .......huh?
[22:34] *** some of the Mercurians look at Kerrrick
[22:34] <Matsuo Shin> I would apperciate if you kept out of mine...
[22:34] <Fifty Mercurians > You still possess "cohesion".
[22:35] <Fifty Mercurians > You carry Form.
[22:35] <Fifty Mercurians > Form implies space.
[22:35] <Fifty Mercurians > Space can be Entered.
[22:36] <Simon Kerrick> ..............
[22:36] <Simon Kerrick> Why are you telling me this?
[22:36] <Simon Kerrick> I thought you said you knew me.
[22:36] <Fifty Mercurians > Because it matters not.
[22:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> Was that a pun
[22:37] * Fifty Mercurians do not reply to the mu;tidimensional construct
[22:37] * Simon Kerrick keeps a straight face.
[22:38] <Simon Kerrick> Why? Do you feel that knowing you do this.....
[22:38] * Matsuo Shin just watches this.....gripping his glass
[22:38] * Simon Kerrick can't keep his face straight anymore.
[22:38] <Simon Kerrick> You know much, correct?
[22:38] <Fifty Mercurians > Emotion is irrelevant.
[22:38] <Simon Kerrick> Are you aware of the....
[22:38] <Simon Kerrick> I wish it were, but it is not.
[22:39] * Masked Figure sits in the tree.
[22:39] <Simon Kerrick> Emotion matters a great deal.
[22:39] <Fifty Mercurians > To you, perhaps.
[22:39] <Simon Kerrick> It's a tool, you see.
[22:39] <Fifty Mercurians > We long ago transcended such considerations.
[22:39] <Simon Kerrick> A tool and imperative.
[22:39] <Simon Kerrick> I can see that you have done it.
[22:39] <Simon Kerrick> Do you truly believe that being beyond fear and caution is an unmixed blessing?
[22:40] <Fifty Mercurians > Emotion is a valuable tool to be wielded.
[22:40] <Matsuo Shin> "transcend"
[22:40] <Fifty Mercurians > Like any other.
[22:40] <Masked Figure> There are times for emotion and a time for pure logic.
[22:41] <Simon Kerrick> You said that you objected to visitors to your home. Is this true?
[22:41] <Fifty Mercurians > Correct.
[22:41] *** a few of them turn to Intern
[22:41] <Masked Figure> A buisness transaction should be ruled by logic, unless the transaction is of questionable leagality. A dinner with freinds should be ruled by Emotion
[22:42] <Fifty Mercurians > The Joviams amd Martians' weakness is their barbaric passion.
[22:42] <Fifty Mercurians > Remember this well, Gallifreyan.
[22:42] *** the rest continue to discourse with the others
[22:42] <Simon Kerrick> All planets have weaknesses? Really?
[22:43] * Simon Kerrick points at the Mercurian directly ahead of him.
[22:43] <Fifty Mercurians > All realms have weaknesses.
[22:43] <Simon Kerrick> A word, if you do not mind.
[22:43] <Simon Kerrick> You object to trespassing, yes?
[22:43] <Simon Kerrick> Others feel this way too.
[22:43] <Fifty Mercurians > And?
[22:44] <Simon Kerrick> Perhaps as strongly as you, but I would argue that if you have left emotion behind, they feel it even MORE strongly.
[22:44] <Fifty Mercurians > That is their weakness.
[22:44] * Matsuo Shin steps outside for a breath of fresh air
[22:44] * Matsuo Shin has moved to: [ outside ]
[22:44] * Simon Kerrick is unmoved.
[22:44] * Masked Figure looks curious "Gallifreyian? You speak to me? I'm curious how you knew given this is our first meeting"
[22:44] * David O`Cain joins Matuso
[22:44] * David O`Cain has moved to: [ outside ]
[22:44] * Simon Kerrick has steepled his fingers.
[22:45] <Simon Kerrick> Do you not wish any aid, then?
[22:45] <Simon Kerrick> I suppose not.
[22:45] <Simon Kerrick> Wishing seems to not be your flavor of operation.
[22:45] <Simon Kerrick> ..................have you been in my realm?
[22:45] <Fifty Mercurians > We have been here before this meeting.
[22:45] <Simon Kerrick> I didn't ask that.
[22:45] *** Fifty mercurians do not answer, but all stare directly at Simon for a very, very long moment.
[22:46] <Matsuo Shin> [outside] Mercurian..may I ask you something then?
[22:46] * Simon Kerrick stares back, and does not blink.
[22:46] *** Fifty Mercurians were responding to MF
[22:46] * Simon Kerrick sure thought they were staring at HIM! ^^
[22:46] *** A merciran resolves out of thin air before matsuo
[22:47] *** They were. It does not mean they were speaking to him.
[22:47] *** (Before Matsuo) Yes?
[22:47] <Matsuo Shin> [outside] you've been watching this entire area, correct?
[22:47] <Fifty Mercurians > (Before Matsuo) Yes.
[22:48] <Matsuo Shin> [outside] can you tell me who planted this object in the hotel? *holds up a sample of the item from before*
[22:48] * Simon Kerrick scowls.
[22:48] <David O`Cain> [outside] We've had difficulty figuring that out.
[22:48] <Simon Kerrick> You puzzle me, Mercurian.
[22:48] <Fifty Mercurians > (To Matsuo) We Could.
[22:49] <Simon Kerrick> You puzzle me because while I might trespass in pitiful ignorance, if you know as much as you claim, your trespasses are willful.
[22:49] <Fifty Mercurians > (To Kerrick) And?
[22:49] <Matsuo Shin> [outside] oh?
[22:49] <Simon Kerrick> Well, don't worry. I'm sure it will all work out fine for you.
[22:50] <Fifty Mercurians > (To Kerrick) *simple staring*
[22:51] * Simon Kerrick turns to intern, bereft of the blythe expression he wore coming in, "So. I suppose you don't need any assistance in this little scrape?"
[22:52] <Masked Figure> Must you continue to be so Daft Kerrick
[22:52] <@The Intern> We could use intelligence on the Jovian moon of Chaldene.
[22:52] <Matsuo Shin> [outside] I see...
[22:53] <Simon Kerrick> If you have any freaking ADVICE, I would like you to share it NOW, Masked Man.
[22:54] <Simon Kerrick> Because I am not my best self at the moment.
[22:54] *** the mercurians slowly dissolve, with a pleasant fizz, back into the vast gulfs between subatomic particles. Not every particle, but conceivably any particle.
[22:54] * Simon Kerrick listens to Intern speak.
[22:54] <Masked Figure> Unlike you I have been helping this cause since the start, I have a personal vested interest in it.
[22:54] <Simon Kerrick> Hmph.
[22:55] <Simon Kerrick> Well, I suddenly find myself taking things very personally as well.
[22:55] <Simon Kerrick> Chaldene, huh?
[22:55] <Simon Kerrick> I'll be there.
[22:55] <Simon Kerrick> Show me where it is?
[22:55] * @The Intern points it out on a map of the Jovian system
[22:56] <@The Intern> We have to be careful the Tyrant does not detect our presence there.
[22:56] * Simon Kerrick looks at it carefully.
[22:56] <Simon Kerrick> .....Tyrant?
[22:56] <Masked Figure> A name that must not be spoken.
[22:56] <@The Intern> That is the name of our Adversary. The being who is the true
[22:56] <@The Intern> "Kino Makoto"
[22:57] <Simon Kerrick> What does she want?
[22:57] <Simon Kerrick> Does it want?
[22:58] <Simon Kerrick> I guess I should not use the sex of the disguise.
[22:58] <Masked Figure> She is apt.
[22:58] <@The Intern> Currently the fealty of Mercury.
[22:58] * Matsuo Shin [outside] looks at the piece in his hand again, frowning to himself
[22:58] <@The Intern> Eventually the ability to decimate the solar system.
[22:58] <David O`Cain> [outside] We didn't get much, did we?
[22:59] <Simon Kerrick> Mmmmmm.
[22:59] <Matsuo Shin> [outside] ..I don't like it
[22:59] <Matsuo Shin> [outside] ..all these secrets
[22:59] <Simon Kerrick> Well, it's clear why Mercury is so valuable.
[23:00] <Simon Kerrick> If you desire it, Intern, I'll go there at once.
[23:00] <Simon Kerrick> Chaldene, that is.
[23:00] <David O`Cain> [outside] Shall we start delving, then?
[23:00] <Simon Kerrick> ....I hate the Mercurians.
[23:00] <Simon Kerrick> There I said it.
[23:00] <@The Intern> ...That would be most helpful.
[23:01] <Simon Kerrick> But then, I feel I'm saying nothing shocking. They DO claim to know me, after all.
[23:01] <Simon Kerrick> I swear, why do I even bother with diplomacy sometimes.
[23:01] <Simon Kerrick> Then again, perhaps I'm geared toward beings very different from them.
[23:01] <Simon Kerrick> .....
[23:01] <Simon Kerrick> I'm going now.
[23:01] * Simon Kerrick casts Greater Teleport on himself.
[23:02] <Masked Figure> Is letting him go really wise?
[23:03] <@The Intern> We are running a severe information Deficit.
[23:03] <David O`Cain> [outside] Matsuo?
[23:03] <Matsuo Shin> [outside] yes?
[23:04] <Masked Figure> What do we need information on stil?
[23:04] * Matsuo Shin [outside] walks back in
[23:04] * Matsuo Shin has moved back to the lobby
[23:04] <Matsuo Shin> Intern
[23:04] * David O`Cain has moved back to the lobby
[23:04] * Matsuo Shin tosses the item to her
[23:05] <Matsuo Shin> ..the mercurians apperently know about this..
[23:06] <David O`Cain> Wait. You don't suppose THEY planted it?
[23:07] <Matsuo Shin> ...what do you think, Intern?
[23:10] <Masked Figure> You think they are the ones that's been feeding us clues?
[23:10] <Masked Figure> ....!
[23:11] <@The Intern> Perhaps.
[23:11] <@The Intern> They did let on about the Silence device...
[23:11] <@The Intern> but I think they have an ulterrior motive.
[23:11] * Masked Figure suddenly doubles over. "The crystal's light is fadeing faster"
[23:12] <Masked Figure> She's fireing it again.
[23:12] <David O`Cain> Where's the target?
[23:13] <Masked Figure> I know not. I twould have to propely commune with the crystals in order to find out.
[23:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> MASSIVE SPIKE OF CHALDENE
[23:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> SILENCE ENERGY
[23:14] <Matsuo Shin> !!!
[23:14] <Masked Figure> !!!?!
[23:14] <David O`Cain> WHAT?!
[23:16] * Masked Figure kneels and prays.
[23:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> It was localized...
[23:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> it's dissipated.
[23:18] <David O`Cain> Whew.
[23:21] * Matsuo Shin frowns..obviously unhappy with all this
[23:26] * Bizzare Energy Readings suddenly are detected in the Grand Imperial Theatre!
[23:27] <spiritflame> Insubstantial Necromantic Shockwave rolls 1d20 [ 10 ]
[23:28] * Insubstantial Necromantic Shockwave erupts inside one particular room, but then dissipates. Everyone in the Theater should be fine unless they happened to be within 30 feet, and were named Mormeril Shadesong.
[23:33] <David O`Cain> Hmmm.
[23:35] * Matsuo Shin pours himself another shot of whiskey
[23:38] <David O`Cain> Any particular brand of whiskey, Matsuo?
[23:38] <Matsuo Shin> no
[23:38] <Matsuo Shin> just something to help me deal with this
[23:39] <David O`Cain> Gotcha.
[23:40] <@The Intern> Hopefully Simon will have some data for us. I nee dto go file these reports. Goodnight, everyone.
[23:40] * @The Intern nods
[23:40] *** @The Intern [neminixblipsonara@cia674.panopticon.gallfrey.kasterborous.sen] has left #suburbansenshi2 (For this makeshift family I've made for myself through their friendship... I'll work as hard as I can to help everyone!)
[23:40] <Matsuo Shin> goodnight...
[23:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> Gotta defrag the data cores. Cya
[23:41] *** @Chateaux Concierge [c.h.a.t.e.a.u.x@127.0.0.1] has left #suburbansenshi2 (* flickers out of existence )
[23:41] <David O`Cain> Take care.
[23:48] <David O`Cain> Well, this has been quite the night.
[23:51] <Matsuo Shin> yes
[23:53] * Masked Figure is still keeling down, talking quietly to some unseen and unheard presance.
[23:54] <Masked Figure> ...."If thoust would triumph... Thou must look to the light?
[23:55] <Matsuo Shin> wasn't chiyoko connected to the crystal?
[23:55] <David O`Cain> Maybe?
[23:57] <Masked Figure> She was.
[23:57] <Masked Figure> Is.
[23:59] <Yaijinden> What's the night!
[00:02] <Masked Figure> ...
[00:03] * Yaijinden accepts his Jeopardy cash
[00:14] <Matsuo Shin> hm?
[00:14] * David O`Cain stretches a bit
[00:16] <Yaijinden> You say hm I say 'what is going on my nagas.'
[00:17] <David O`Cain> Not a whole lot right now, Yai.
[00:19] <Yaijinden> But THINGS.
[00:19] <Yaijinden> Not right now of course because you three are all being all solemn.
[00:19] <Yaijinden> But there was a whole day before now!
[00:20] <David O`Cain> Other than work and relaxation, meh.
[00:21] <Matsuo Shin> same really
[00:22] <Yaijinden> Absolutely no movement on the Eightfold situation?
[00:22] <Yaijinden> Such disappoint!
[00:25] <Matsuo Shin> we know jupiter is planning to use a silence machine on the solar system
[00:25] <Matsuo Shin> oh and mercury has surrendered itself
[00:27] <Yaijinden> Swee!
[00:29] <Masked Figure> Oh and Jupiter is using the Crystal of Thunder as a death beam.
[00:29] <Yaijinden> Yesssssssssss
[00:29] <Matsuo Shin> makes you happy, huh?
[00:31] <Yaijinden> It's -exciting-.
[00:31] <Yaijinden> I mean, the Silence could even kill me!
[00:32] <David O`Cain> Probably.
[00:34] <Yaijinden> And if not kill me, surely maim me.
[00:34] <Yaijinden> So exciting.
[00:37] <David O`Cain> Right.
[00:47] <Matsuo Shin> if you all excuse me..I'm going to get some rest
[00:47] <Matsuo Shin> goodnight
[00:51] <David O`Cain> Night, Matsuo.
[00:53] *** Matsuo Shin [Shin@history.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi2
[01:05] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has quit IRC
[01:08] <Yaijinden> ♫~
[01:14] <Yaijinden> !yai
[01:14] Wisdom from the Book of Yai:
[18:10] <Yaijinden> When in doubt, retcon.
[01:15] <Yaijinden> I wonder if.
[01:22] * Yaijinden fishes in his pockets
[01:22] <Yaijinden> This feels like a night to ramble, but playing to an empty room?
[01:27] <Masked Figure> Tis not that empty
[01:31] * Yaijinden evaluates A Challenger Appeared
[01:31] <Yaijinden> For some reason you don't count.
[01:31] <Yaijinden> That fact, however, is interesting.
[01:35] <Yaijinden> I wonder why that is...
[01:35] <Masked Figure> I count for naught? Curious indeed
[01:36] <Yaijinden> I think it's because I don't think of you as a person.
[01:37] <Masked Figure> If I am not a person, what I am?
[01:37] <Yaijinden> You exist, for sure, but you're also making every effort to remain indivisible, implacable, unmoved, certain...
[01:38] <Yaijinden> I might liken you to a tiger, or a buffalo.
[01:38] * Masked Figure looks amused "I have been compared to worse"
[01:39] <Yaijinden> So have I! :V
[01:39] <Yaijinden> You're there, and you have desires, and you have intentions, but attempting to engage you beyond those desires and intentions doesn't seem like it'll reward me with that unnameable whateveritis I seek.
[01:41] <Yaijinden> In fact, now that I think about it, there are a lot of folks around here I don't think of as people.
[01:48] <Masked Figure> Just plot points then?
[01:53] <Yaijinden> Plot points gives them too much relevance to my narrative.
[01:53] <Yaijinden> I might go so far as to say 'scenery'.
[01:54] <Yaijinden> I find this mildly distressing!
[01:57] <Yaijinden> What is it I seek that proves so infrequent? .-.
[01:57] <Yaijinden> Is it reasonable?
[02:00] <Yaijinden> The gut says yes, but also says it is in fact rare.
[02:04] <Yaijinden> But is the gut -right-?
[02:04] <Yaijinden> All the gut feelings in the world are worthless if the axioms they are founded on are flawed.
[02:08] <Yaijinden> KEh.
[02:08] <Yaijinden> No pointed suggestions? You're usually pretty quick with those.
[02:24] <Yaijinden> This is why the empty room is so dangerous.
[02:26] <Yaijinden> The empty room rapidly becomes an echo chamber.
[02:31] <Masked Figure> Heh
[02:32] <Masked Figure> I am simply. Distracted tonight. Antoher voice has my ear, one I alone can hear at the moment, she does not deign to speak to others often, though others in the hotel have heard her voice
[02:33] <Yaijinden> Twee!
[02:33] <Yaijinden> Can hardly fault divided attention! :V
[02:34] <Masked Figure> Given Jupiter... nay the Tyrant's.. Misue of the cyrstal of thunder, she has grown concenernd and started provideing me more direct advice
[02:35] <Yaijinden> Ooooh.
[02:37] <Masked Figure> The crystal too crys out, though the works it speaks are faint to my ears, tis not I who bears it's blessing
[02:39] * Masked Figure suddenly head tilts, listening to something unheard. "Though she has words for you too. She muses how long you are going to deign to play the role of a bystander to events"
[02:39] <Yaijinden> I don't have much of a choice in the matter.
[02:39] <Masked Figure> Oh?
[02:40] <Yaijinden> Right now, I have three modes of engagement.
[02:40] <Yaijinden> One, this body you see here.
[02:40] <Yaijinden> Two, this body, revealing its source and origin as a manifestation of my overself.
[02:41] <Masked Figure> And the third?
[02:42] * Yaijinden decides how to phrase this:
[02:43] <Yaijinden> Three, a world-jouten compressed to the scanty size of Mars, whose existence would incidentally begin to deform spacetime within the range of about ten astronomical units into an image of my greater ideology.
[02:44] * Masked Figure nods. "Probably for the best if such things are not used when put that way"
[02:44] <Yaijinden> I don't think about being the personable face of a Primordial Otherthing with any frequency because it usually doesn't matter, but when I do, that's the scope I have to scale my thinking up to.
[02:45] <Yaijinden> I won't pretend I don't have a stake in the whole Eightfold affair, of course -- if the Silence is ever triggered, there's no telling if I'd be able to protect my family.
[02:46] <Yaijinden> But at this point the boundaries of what I can easily do are set to pointing out possible courses of action.
[02:46] <Masked Figure> I fear even she could not protect me from it for long if it were to befall us. The story we are telling risks ending here, though I am... quite confident that we this place does not die quite yet.
[02:47] * Masked Figure is very clearly carefuly selecting words to not reveal anything.
[02:48] <Yaijinden> The benefits of having easy access to a TARDIS and the like.
[02:49] <Masked Figure> Not quite.
[02:49] * Masked Figure considers how to word this without revealing too much.,
[02:51] <Masked Figure> I have seen these events from a diffrent perspective once before, though my mere invovlment has muddled things and as such the outcome is unceritn but better then ti was before.
[02:51] <Masked Figure> Mysteries that went unsolved are now solved, villains that were set free are now sealed.
[02:52] <Yaijinden> Oracle's bite.
[02:52] <Masked Figure> Hmmm?
[02:54] <Yaijinden> How far you step back, how much you meedle.
[02:58] <Masked Figure> mmmm. As long as my meddleing doesn't break things, no one will care in the long run.
[03:03] <Yaijinden> Who judges when something's broken, though? :3
[03:03] * Yaijinden is away: meanwhile, in LAS VEGAS
[06:50] * Kailey Sunrise sits in a corner and meditates
[06:50] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Wow that is like the best Mr. Piccolo impression I've ever seen.
[06:54] <Kailey Sunrise> ...Who?
[06:55] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Wow you've never met Mr. Piccolo?
[06:55] <Kailey Sunrise> Cain't say I have.
[06:56] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Have you met your mom yet?
[06:57] <Kailey Sunrise> ...My mom is dead.

[06:58] <Kailey Sunrise> Sorry, didn't mean t' bite yer head off
[06:58] * Kailey Sunrise opens both ayes and leans back, stretchin'
[06:59] <Kailey Sunrise> Y'll seem real comfortable with this idea of "alternates"
[06:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Huh?
[06:59] <Kailey Sunrise> Folks from other universes standin' in fer yer kin.
[06:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Welll...
[06:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> that's because so many of us come from slightly different timelines and things.
[07:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I actually come from dead timeline... but I was raised in another timeline, which used to be this timeline, but isn't anymore.
[07:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> God, that sounds convoluted
[07:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> My cousin's parents are from two different timlines.
[07:01] <Kailey Sunrise> Sorta similar where Ah'm from but things ended up worse.
[07:01] <Kailey Sunrise> Y'all weren't there.
[07:02] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Well maybe that's why you're here now?
[07:02] <Vermellia X. Rosso> To have a different life?
[07:02] <Kailey Sunrise> Ah'm here 'cuz ah fell through a door.
[07:02] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...Are you not happy? Do you wanna go back?
[07:02] <Kailey Sunrise> Ain't nothin' for me back there.
[07:03] <Kailey Sunrise> Might as well stay here.
[08:25] <Vermellia X. Rosso> :<
[08:26] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Btu are you gonna be alone all the time you're here?

[08:52] <Vermellia X. Rosso> It's weird, you know?
[08:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I went through a lot when I was little but
[08:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I always had my family to help me through
[08:53] <Vermellia X. Rosso> You and Kailey were orphaned.
[08:53] <@The Intern> I was orphaned very young.
[08:53] <@The Intern> I always had surrogte familiies.
[08:54] <@The Intern> Be it the Outsiders or the CIA...
[08:56] <@The Intern> Or all of you here.
[08:56] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I just feel bad for her, you know?

[09:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I was minded by Wodehouse.
[09:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ..Goddamn how many of us actually have stable families.
[09:04] <@The Intern> That's what this place is for.
[09:04] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte leans back on her Divan
[09:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You know
[09:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I've never dug too deeply into my parents' death.
[09:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I've always been somewhat apprehensive as to what I might find.
[09:07] <Vermellia X. Rosso> What happened, exactly?
[09:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Skiiing accident in the Swiss Alps when I was five.
[09:09] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ><
[09:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> My life has been a large enough ball of strange since then that I've never dug into it.
[09:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I just know that one day it's going to come back to haunt me.
[09:44] * @The Intern organizes her incoming comms
[09:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Bollocks. I see I missed Yaijinden in an analytical mood.
[09:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That is so rare these days.
[10:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Yeah
[10:37] <Yaijinden> I was so sure I could remedy the world by properly explaining it to people.
[10:39] <Yaijinden> I look back at those days and myself and I shake my head, smirking.
[10:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well
[10:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mind you the explanations were helpful.
[10:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Just not to the parties intended.
[10:49] <Yaijinden> They did good.
[10:49] <Vermellia X. Rosso> It's a YAAAAIII
[10:49] <Yaijinden> But I look back at things and I can now see the sheer scope of the personal hypocracy involved, and it's just -so funny-.
[10:49] * @The Intern waves, answering all kinds of queries
[10:49] <Yaijinden> It'sa meeeeeeee
[10:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> There's always a measur eof hyposcrisy when we sit in judgement.
[10:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
[10:51] <Yaijinden> There's a time and a place for it.
[10:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I do get what you meant about scenery.
[10:52] * Plant-kun waves
[10:54] <Yaijinden> I was half-inclined to name names, but only half, because what would that have gained the world?
[10:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Derecious scandal.

[10:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> That's not it :P
[11:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I know why.
[11:00] <@The Intern> Oh?
[11:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> When I was little... well you know.
[11:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I was broken, Cressie wasn't
[11:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> She was more mature and responsible
[11:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I don't think he really likes me more
[11:01] <Vermellia X. Rosso> It's just... I sorta needed more care.
[11:02] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Plus the whole thing with Grandma..
[11:02] <Vermellia X. Rosso> So yeah
[11:02] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I sorta feel bad I ruined Cressie's childhood
[11:02] <@The Intern> I don
[11:03] <@The Intern> don't think you did :)
[11:04] <Yaijinden> Might well have given her something to aspire to.
[11:05] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I guess
[11:05] <@The Intern> She's never spoken of you as a burden. Don't think of yourself in that light.
[11:06] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I don't ^^

[11:06] <Vermellia X. Rosso> OW!

[11:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nbq6Ur103Q
[11:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This song does so exemplify our generation.
[11:09] <Yaijinden> You know, I don't remember!
[11:09] <Yaijinden> It seemed tremendously important at the time so I investigated but after the fact I don't have a clue what transpired.
[11:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> haha
[11:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> "I investigated the tequila. It was looking a mite suspicious. I don't remember anything after that."
[11:14] <Vermellia X. Rosso> That's like me and Red Liquid™.
[11:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So.
[11:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Boredom has me.
[11:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Who knows Archery?
[11:35] * @The Intern raises her hand
[11:35] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte raises her hand
[11:35] <Vermellia X. Rosso> ...
[11:36] <Vermellia X. Rosso> You guys know Archery?
[11:36] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Lady Fiona Peinforte was an excellent archer.
[11:36] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's a skill that's been passed down.
[11:37] <@The Intern> I learned in order to hunt food.
[11:37] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Hunt...
[11:37] * Vermellia X. Rosso crouches down
[11:37] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I just sneak up on my prey...
[11:38] * Vermellia X. Rosso silently pads over to Inter
[11:38] <Vermellia X. Rosso> And then POUNCE and whip out my claws and CUT THEIR THROAT OUT

[11:38] * @The Intern has a sword pointed at her belly with one hand, stuffing a doughnut in her mouth with the other
[11:38] <@The Intern> That's nice
[11:39] * Vermellia X. Rosso pulls in her claws and giggles
[11:39] <Vermellia X. Rosso> I know, right?
[11:45] <Yaijinden> Twang!
[11:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So, any general thoughts about Life, the Universe or anything?
[11:51] <Yaijinden> Mostly just appreciating the value of wonder.
[11:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh?
[11:55] <Yaijinden> It brings short the highest excesses of the self.
[11:56] <Yaijinden> Calls a slowing, a pause, and a 'wow, what is all this everything'.
[12:01] <Yaijinden> Inspires... a certain delightful sort of fata amor.
[12:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hmm.
[12:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I suppose the world is rather nice.
[12:11] <Yaijinden> The kind of moment's awareness where it hits you mid-poptart and you just stand there, with half a poptart in your mouth, startled and amazed and delighted, and then you start registering that the people on the bus are asking you to please move or finish eating your poptart.
[12:16] <@The Intern> I eat poptarts raw.
[12:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You eat anything raw.
[12:18] <Yaijinden> What kind of person takes the time to cook a poptart, anyway?
[12:19] <Vermellia X. Rosso> But they're so much better warm!

[12:57] * Eliza McIntash closes her eyes.

[13:03] <Yaijinden> Well~

[13:11] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] I was just looking at how much you look like the other buildings, and nobody would ever know.
[13:12] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] Do the prinnies ever clean you on the outside?
[13:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Outside] Nah.
[13:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Outside] I want to stay non-descript.

[13:19] <@The Intern> Ergh
[13:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Busy?
[13:19] * @The Intern shows them her typical workload

[13:21] <@The Intern> There's been no word back from Simon...
[13:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well is that really a surprise?
[13:23] <@The Intern> I'll have to try sending in some agents but they're all tied up with the Movellans and the Co-Ordinator does not want them moved.
[13:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So let me ask you
[13:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You Time Lords
[13:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> do you go out of your way to make history stay fixed in a rigd pattern
[13:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> from day one till now?
[13:23] <@The Intern> ...Notg exactly.
[13:23] <@The Intern> ^Not
[13:24] <@The Intern> We're actually more interested in the Now.
[13:24] * Eliza McIntash [outside] returns with a bunch of buckets, brushes, and a hose.
[13:24] <@The Intern> For us all of time is one singularity.
[13:24] * Eliza McIntash has moved back to the lobby
[13:24] <Eliza McIntash> I wondered about that.
[13:24] <@The Intern> What happens in the past and the future affects the Now.
[13:24] <Eliza McIntash> I wondered about that for a very long time and that is not at all what I would have guessed.
[13:25] * Eliza McIntash starts mixing up some soap.
[13:25] <@The Intern> To keep the Now in order, we have to have operations in the past and the future.
[13:25] <@The Intern> The broad strokes generally have ot be maintained.
[13:25] <Eliza McIntash> I figured that the reason I couldn't be a Time Lord was because I didn't understand.
[13:25] <@The Intern> In point of fact...
[13:25] <Eliza McIntash> I thought I was incapable of seeing Time as being as fragile as I should, and that it was because I was being too narrow minded about the time I was from.
[13:26] <@The Intern> Our own... timeline's past is more or less ireelevant to us.
[13:26] <Eliza McIntash> ....That if I went back and lived in the year 400, I should care every bit as much about the year 401 as I do about the year 2015.
[13:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> How can that be?
[13:26] <Eliza McIntash> I thought THAT was the key to thinking like you do.
[13:26] <@The Intern> Because the Now shapes it.
[13:26] * Eliza McIntash shakes her head, disappointed in what Intern has said.
[13:26] <@The Intern> And it reverberates back. It's complex.
[13:26] <Eliza McIntash> Well, f[BLEEP]k this. You are depressing me.
[13:26] * Eliza McIntash has moved to: [ outside. ]
[13:27] <@The Intern> For example if you looked at my biodata
[13:27] <@The Intern> right now
[13:27] * Eliza McIntash [outside.] takes the soap and brushes and hose and buckets with her.
[13:27] * Eliza McIntash [outside.] is outside now.
[13:27] <@The Intern> There's only encoding for my current incarnation.
[13:27] * Eliza McIntash has moved to: [ outside ]
[13:27] <@The Intern> Once I regenerate in the future
[13:27] * Eliza McIntash [outside] dips a brush in the soapy water and starts washing and scrubbing the outside of the Hotel.
[13:27] <@The Intern> my biodata as observed now will also change.
[13:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That's f[BLEEP]king complex.
[13:28] <@The Intern> Indeed.
[13:30] * Eliza McIntash [outside] scrubs the dirt off of the outside of the HOTEL, and scrapes off insect nests and grime and filth, sweating as she does so.
[13:32] * Eliza McIntash [outside] looks around for a hose faucet.
[13:33] * Eliza McIntash [outside] is certain she'll find one.
[13:33] * Masked Figure has moved to: [ Outside ]
[13:33] <Masked Figure> [Outside] The reason you cannot be a time is lord the same reason you cannot be a cat or dog.
[13:34] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] .....
[13:34] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] Listen.
[13:34] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] Don't ruin this for me.
[13:34] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] If you are going to stand next to me, I want you to work as hard as I am working.
[13:34] <Masked Figure> [Outside] Ruin what? Impossible ideas?
[13:34] * Eliza McIntash [outside] frowns.
[13:34] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] Please go away.
[13:34] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] I really don't want to talk to you.
[13:34] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] I came out here to do a good deed, and a favor.
[13:35] * Masked Figure [Outside] raises a hand a burst of water condensed from the local atomosphere blasts the side the hotel
[13:35] * Eliza McIntash [outside] resumes washing the outside of the Hotel.
[13:35] * Eliza McIntash [outside] goes to the other side, and actually scrubs the hotel windows and walls.
[13:37] * Masked Figure [Outside] shrugs and go back inside "Don't wish to be something you cannot ever be, embrace what you are instead.
[13:37] * Masked Figure has moved back to the lobby
[13:40] <Eliza McIntash> Idiot.
[13:41] * Eliza McIntash [outside] finds a hose, hooks it up to a faucet (using one of the hotels if she finds it, and another one if she cannot). She starts spraying the top sides of the building to get the dirt off.
[13:42] * Eliza McIntash [outside] keeps washing the outside of the building, sweating.
[13:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Outside] Thank you for this... but why?
[13:43] * Eliza McIntash [outside] knocks the spiderwebs off the eaves, and blows the leaves off the rooftop.
[13:43] * Eliza McIntash [outside] blushes.
[13:43] * Eliza McIntash [outside] turns to Chateaux. "Because I understand."
[13:43] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] Because for a very long time, I was just an object to most people to be used, and whose feelings were ignored or believed to not exist.
[13:44] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] You are a better building than the others here. You deserve more.
[13:45] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] I thought of the times of my slavery when people thought I was just a fake face.
[13:45] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] I didn't want it to be all your giving and us taking.
[13:46] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] I realized after you said that thing about asphixiating people that it pretty much is that way, isn't it?
[13:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Outside] Nah.
[13:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Outside] I whine a lot.
[13:47] * Eliza McIntash [outside] takes the nozzle off the hose, and drinks from the stream.
[13:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Outside] It's how I de-stress
[13:47] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] Really?
[13:48] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] Because when you said that about removing the oxygen, it made me feel.... funny.
[13:48] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] Anyway, I did this to say thank you.
[13:48] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] It's really nice to live inside of you, and really you take good care of me.

[13:54] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] I'm glad I made you happy.
[13:54] <Eliza McIntash> [outside] I realized there was only one building that would be happy to be clean, and that was you.

[14:02] <Eliza McIntash> You are welcome.
[14:02] * Eliza McIntash [outside] smiles as well.
[14:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Outside] Take it easy and enjoy this fine afternoon :D
[14:06] * Eliza McIntash [outside] nods.
[14:11] * Eliza McIntash [outside] sits, sweaty and rumpled, on the porch, and gazes toward the city in silence with the flower in her hand.

[14:22] * @Chateaux Concierge has moved back to the lobby
[14:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Aww that was so niice
[14:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> I will cut you.
[14:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> hahaha
[14:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> You know you could clean sometimes too :P
[14:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I don't live here :P
[14:27] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...but you know what
[14:27] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I do hang out here a lot.
[14:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Vermellia! Let's go do some cleaning!
[14:28] <Vermellia X. Rosso> Wait why am I involved?!
[14:28] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is away: *grabbing Verm by the sleeve* Because I'm not accustomed to manual labour.
[14:29] * Vermellia X. Rosso is away: AHHHHH

[14:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> Thanks, Eliza
[15:35] * @The Intern has moved to: [ Comms ]
[15:35] * The Actuary has moved to: [ Comms ]
[15:35] <The Actuary> [Comms] I'll let you have Varnal and Strixus.
[15:36] <The Actuary> [Comms] But I need them back on Movella as soon sa possible.
[15:36] <@The Intern> [Comms] Just two...
[15:36] <The Actuary> [Comms] I can't even spare ONE.
[15:36] <The Actuary> [Comms] Do what you can.
[15:36] * The Actuary has moved back to the lobby
[15:37] *** The Actuary [actvarivs@cia001.panopticon.gallfrey.kasterborous.sen] has quit IRC ( It is within the scope of my estimation.)

[15:37] * @The Intern sighs and issues them their orders. Go to Chaldene. Find what's there and report back; do not engage.
[16:30] * @The Intern paces as she waits for word.
[16:30] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You all right?
[16:31] <@The Intern> Not really.
[16:31] <@The Intern> I'm not used to this particuilar level of responsibility...
[16:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What do you mean? You make life and death decisions every day.
[16:32] <@The Intern> Yes but I've potentially sent those agents to their deaths.

[17:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> Trying, trying
[17:17] * @Chateaux Concierge puts on some headphones and listends a few times
[17:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's for you... from "Varnal." The one called "Strix" is either captured or dead... the Silence Device is 99% complete, something about Magical Power and do NOT engage with magic...
[17:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> And then that scream..

[17:19] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa simon kerrick
[17:19] * Simon Kerrick shows up, his clothes torn to bits and to ashes, which spill out of his pockets and line the creases of what once was his skin.
[17:20] <@The Intern> Simon!
[17:20] <@The Intern> ..What happened?
[17:21] <Simon Kerrick> Lots of things.
[17:21] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (Well. Colour me surprised.)
[17:21] <Simon Kerrick> There is a defense network that can pick up very very tiny things. At least sensitive enough to figure out that there is a human-sized object nearby.
[17:21] <Simon Kerrick> I just accidentally ran smack into whatever it was.
[17:22] <Simon Kerrick> I never got a good look, but it will try to kill whatever is close.
[17:22] * @The Intern makes a note of that
[17:22] * Matsuo Shin silently listens
[17:22] <Simon Kerrick> However...
[17:22] *** Simon Kerrick is carrying:

[17:22] * Simon Kerrick emptiews his pockets. Ashes and trash fall out.
[17:22] <@The Intern> ....
[17:22] * Simon Kerrick holds up a cracked, destroyed ruby in many many pieces.
[17:23] <@The Intern> We can try to have that repaired for you
[17:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> You're lucky you survived at all. Somehing caused it to put out a Silence Blast.
[17:25] *** Simon Kerrick has placed Priceless Enchanted Ruby [Ruined] in Inventory Slot: 4
[17:25] <Simon Kerrick> Mmmmm.
[17:25] <Simon Kerrick> I don't know what it was, but I only know it missed me.
[17:26] <Simon Kerrick> I've been up there playing dead for hours and I only attepted to teleport back when it fired again but not at me.
[17:26] <Simon Kerrick> It will attack with two ways.
[17:26] <Simon Kerrick> The first was, I am assuming, electricity.
[17:26] <Simon Kerrick> It was so intense it destroyed everything I had on me.
[17:26] * Simon Kerrick grimaces.
[17:26] <Simon Kerrick> Well, whatever, the important thing is that I'm alive.
[17:26] <Simon Kerrick> It gave no warning, either.
[17:26] <Simon Kerrick> I must have been very close.
[17:27] <@The Intern> The electricity is most likely Jupiter's power amplified.
[17:27] <Simon Kerrick> Heh.
[17:27] <Simon Kerrick> Well, she can suck it then.
[17:27] <@The Intern> That was the Tyrant directly.
[17:27] <@The Intern> The second blast came from the device we seek to destroy.
[17:27] <Simon Kerrick> You know what bothers me?
[17:27] * Matsuo Shin watches all this
[17:27] <Simon Kerrick> I mean REALLY bothers me?
[17:28] <@The Intern> ?
[17:28] <Simon Kerrick> She has the little snoopers on her side now.
[17:28] <Simon Kerrick> THAT is why she didn't destroy them.
[17:28] <Simon Kerrick> They will feed her everything we do or say.
[17:28] * @The Intern hasn't fully processed that the agents she personally sent out died.
[17:28] <Simon Kerrick> If you can kill them to remove them from this equation, I strongly suggest you do so.
[17:28] <Simon Kerrick> Talking to you here, Actuary.
[17:28] * Fifty Mercurians swirls into existence
[17:28] <Simon Kerrick> Noriko, oh Noriko.
[17:28] * Simon Kerrick chuckles.
[17:29] <@The Intern> The Co-Ordinator is not listening.
[17:29] <@The Intern> I'm in charge of this.
[17:29] <@The Intern> She has her hands full on Movella.
[17:29] <Simon Kerrick> AH, good.
[17:29] <Simon Kerrick> THERE you are.
[17:29] <Fifty Mercurians > ♦ War with us would be inadvisable.
[17:29] * Matsuo Shin just silently watches the mercurians
[17:29] <Simon Kerrick> You know, I would really like to be able to talk to youwit hout having to resort to mentioning things you can't possibly ignore to get you to show up.
[17:30] * Fifty Mercurians is now known as One Mercurian
[17:30] <Simon Kerrick> Please, do you really think I meant that? If I did, I wouldn't say it where there was an effectively 100% chance you would overhere.
[17:30] <Simon Kerrick> Now, I'm assuming she wants you to snoop on everything we do, huh.
[17:30] <One Mercurian> ♦ Your talent for duplicity is well-known.
[17:31] <One Mercurian> ♦ We have been given no orders by The Empress.
[17:31] <Simon Kerrick> Thanks. What I don't get is, is there truly nothing we could offer you to make you stop this, and refuse her help?
[17:31] <Matsuo Shin> face it..they won't
[17:31] <Simon Kerrick> ............If I could destroy this device singlehandedly, would you be willing to swear your loyalty to me instead of to the Tyrant?
[17:31] <One Mercurian> ♦ We have calculated we are in a better position with the Golden Revolution than against it.
[17:32] <@The Intern> I'm sorry, the what?
[17:32] <One Mercurian> ♦ The Golden Revolution.
[17:32] <Matsuo Shin> ..oh now it has a name
[17:32] <One Mercurian> ♦ That is the name of The Emnpress' new societal regime.
[17:32] <Simon Kerrick> Ah, there just are never answers to the REALLY important questions I like to ask.
[17:32] <@The Intern> Simon
[17:32] <Simon Kerrick> Huh. Well, could you give us some pointers about how to stay on the positive side of that regime?
[17:33] <@The Intern> one of my agents reported that Magic is not to be deployed against this wepon.
[17:33] <Simon Kerrick> Why didn't you tell me you had other people there, then?
[17:33] <One Mercurian> ♦ Magical power and the feast of souls are its fuel, as Simon now knows.
[17:33] * Matsuo Shin has moved to: [ Outside ]
[17:33] <@The Intern> I didn't send any until you failed to check in.
[17:33] * Matsuo Shin [Outside] leans against the outside of the house, silently thinking
[17:34] <Simon Kerrick> No I don't.
[17:34] <@The Intern> I had to fight to pull the...
[17:34] <Simon Kerrick> Ah, well, that would explain why it fired again.
[17:34] <One Mercurian> ♦ We have just told you. Therefore you know.
[17:34] <Simon Kerrick> Tell me, Mercuriouan, what do you mean?
[17:34] <@The Intern> ...and they died.
[17:34] <Simon Kerrick> Feast of souls?
[17:35] * Matsuo Shin [Outside] silently watches the cars go by
[17:35] <One Mercurian> ♦ soul-mattter.
[17:35] <Simon Kerrick> And ANSWER MY QUESTION!
[17:35] <Simon Kerrick> If I could destroy it, would you swear your loyalty to me instead of to the Tyrant?
[17:35] <One Mercurian> ♦ No.
[17:35] <One Mercurian> ♦ You are unstable and unfit to rule.
[17:36] <Simon Kerrick> Those I rule would disagree.
[17:36] <Simon Kerrick> Fine.
[17:36] <Simon Kerrick> For those who claim to know much, you seem to know very little.
[17:36] <One Mercurian> ♦ They disagree because you make the rules.
[17:36] * Simon Kerrick smiles.
[17:36] <Simon Kerrick> Clearly, you have NOT been in my realm, then.
[17:36] * Simon Kerrick looks somewhat relieved now.
[17:37] * One Mercurian has a completely neutral expression
[17:37] <One Mercurian> ♦ As you wish.
[17:37] <Simon Kerrick> In that case, I since you have not seen it, you don't know that I CAN destroy that moon. I am confident I could.
[17:37] <Matsuo Shin> [Outside] (is this becoming worth the trouble)
[17:38] <One Mercurian> ♦ The Moon is irrelevant.
[17:38] <One Mercurian> ♦ what is on the moon is.
[17:38] <Simon Kerrick> I find that difficult to believe since whatever that thing is was sitting on it.
[17:38] <Matsuo Shin> [Outside] (for every step we take..I feel more and more disgusted by this)
[17:38] <One Mercurian> ♦ And? You sit on this Earth.
[17:38] <One Mercurian> ♦ were it destroyed today, you would remain.
[17:39] <Matsuo Shin> [Outside] (I getting more discouraged on helping these people)
[17:39] <Simon Kerrick> Mercurian, why do you not just leave. If you are as smart as you boast, you knew you would antagonize me completely, and you did this anyway.
[17:39] <One Mercurian> ♦ Your antagonism is irrelevant.
[17:39] <Simon Kerrick> Leave us. You have yet to do a thing to fix this problem. Either explain about the Jupiter Regime, or go away.
[17:40] <One Mercurian> ♦ Your desire to elicit answers from us is irrelevant.
[17:40] <One Mercurian> ♦ Your commands are irrelvant.
[17:40] <Matsuo Shin> [Outside] is EVERYTHING irrelevent to you!?
[17:40] * Matsuo Shin has moved back to the lobby
[17:41] <Simon Kerrick> If so, then they should be irrelevant to us.
[17:41] <Simon Kerrick> Intern.
[17:41] <One Mercurian> ♦ No.
[17:41] <@The Intern> Yes?
[17:41] <Matsuo Shin> is there anything left of you besides data and figures and your own personal sense of logic
[17:41] <Simon Kerrick> GO AWAY!
[17:41] <@The Intern> ...
[17:41] <@The Intern> No.
[17:41] <Simon Kerrick> I saw lights coming from the planet before it fired.
[17:41] * Simon Kerrick was talking to the Mercurians, not to Intern.
[17:41] <Simon Kerrick> Which confuses me.
[17:42] <Simon Kerrick> Is the planet not made of gas? Isn't it just a big cloud?
[17:42] <Matsuo Shin> sometimes I wonder......
[17:42] * with a pleasant hissing sound, the Mercurians disperse into the air, and tnen into the subatomic
[17:42] <Simon Kerrick> A[BLEEP]les.
[17:42] * Simon Kerrick whirls to Matsuo Shin.
[17:42] <@The Intern> Density increases as you go further in, but yes.
[17:42] <Simon Kerrick> You.
[17:42] <Matsuo Shin> .....sometimes I wonder why my people had to die and your's survive.......
[17:42] <Matsuo Shin> what, simon
[17:42] <Simon Kerrick> I once heard you say that there are civilizations on evry planet.
[17:43] <Simon Kerrick> Is this true?
[17:43] <@The Intern> The core of the planet is probably iron however.
[17:43] <Matsuo Shin> there were
[17:43] <Matsuo Shin> they no longer exist now
[17:43] <Simon Kerrick> "Early Martian," you said.
[17:43] <Matsuo Shin> I'm just going to go
[17:43] <Matsuo Shin> I'm fed up
[17:43] <Simon Kerrick> Instead of helping?
[17:43] *** Matsuo Shin [Shin@history.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi2
[17:43] <Simon Kerrick> Your choice, then.
[17:43] <Simon Kerrick> "Hero."
[17:43] * Simon Kerrick turns.
[17:43] <Simon Kerrick> Intern...
[17:43] * Simon Kerrick thinks carefully.
[17:43] <Simon Kerrick> Do we know what this person wants?
[17:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> The planet's core is made up of layers of metals and rocks, along with methane ice, ammonia ice and water ice.
[17:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> Above is the Hydrogen and HElium gas.
[17:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> The core is appx seven earth masses large.
[17:44] <Simon Kerrick> So... how were there civilizations there at all?
[17:45] <Simon Kerrick> I simply do not understand the world I am operating in.
[17:45] <@The Intern> I don't know about native lifeforms but the Selenites used a combination of orbital platforms and high-gravity structures in the clouds.
[17:45] <Simon Kerrick> OH!
[17:45] <Simon Kerrick> Well, that makes sense.
[17:45] <Simon Kerrick> I guess.
[17:45] <@The Intern> Perhaps they even burrowed into the core.
[17:46] <Simon Kerrick> I hate to break this to you, but if you sent people there, they are dead. The thing attacks with no warning.
[17:46] <Simon Kerrick> The good news is that only that happening allowed my escape.
[17:46] <Simon Kerrick> What, exactly, do you wish to know?
[17:47] <Simon Kerrick> I find myself suddenly thinking like Solarchos would.
[17:49] * Simon Kerrick grows impatient.
[17:50] <@The Intern> What did you see?
[17:50] <@The Intern> Aside from the attack, what was there?
[17:51] <Simon Kerrick> A tremendous object that I could not even see.
[17:52] <Simon Kerrick> I pushed away from it to escape, and whatever it was missed me.
[17:52] <Simon Kerrick> ..........What happens to those that are killed by the Silence?
[17:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> Utter annihilation.
[17:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> Absolutly nothing remains.
[17:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> That's why Serenity had to reincarnate her people in the future.
[17:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> It was the only dodge
[17:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> She herself was erased, only a thought recording left in a computer.
[17:54] <Simon Kerrick> ....Matsumi is reincarnated.
[17:54] <Simon Kerrick> Minako is reincarnated.
[17:55] <Simon Kerrick> And so on and so on, yes?
[17:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> Right.
[17:55] <Simon Kerrick> Somewhere... isn't the true person who SHOULD have been the Queen of Jupiter off in limbo somewhere?
[17:56] <Simon Kerrick> Shouldn't we get to work finding that soul or vestige and put it into an appropriate body so it can fight against whoever this entity is?
[17:56] <Simon Kerrick> Proprietor even has temporary bodies we could use.
[17:56] <Simon Kerrick> Wouldn't this be a good move?
[17:56] <Simon Kerrick> Or, we COULD.....
[17:59] <Simon Kerrick> You could just nuke her back.
[18:01] <@The Intern> The person who should have eeb the true queen of Jupiter...
[18:01] <@The Intern> ^been
[18:01] <@The Intern> was consumed by The Tyrant.
[18:01] <@The Intern> They are literally one.
[18:02] <Simon Kerrick> Oh.
[18:03] <Simon Kerrick> Well, so much for that idea.
[18:03] <Simon Kerrick> What about nuking her back with the Silver Crystal?
[18:03] <Simon Kerrick> Can't that do pretty much anything?
[18:03] <Simon Kerrick> scratcht hat
[18:03] <Simon Kerrick> Can't it do literally anything?
[18:04] <@The Intern> At a price.
[18:05] <@The Intern> The Silver Crystal translates thought and will into power at the cost of the wielder's body.
[18:05] <Simon Kerrick> What's the price?
[18:05] <Simon Kerrick> What if their body could regenerate.
[18:05] <@The Intern> Their very life force gets consumed.
[18:05] <Simon Kerrick> Heh, I'm kidding, I know you would trash the universe before you let me have it.
[18:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> LOL
[18:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> I town't work for you
[18:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> It only works for the line of Serenity.
[18:06] <Simon Kerrick> I was joking anyway.
[18:06] <Simon Kerrick> Odd that that fact is true, though.
[18:06] <Simon Kerrick> So you are NOT going to use it, then.
[18:06] <Simon Kerrick> Seems like now is the time to start fighting dirty.
[18:07] <Simon Kerrick> So she wanted the surrender of Mercury. What else does she want?
[18:07] <@The Intern> We were warned not to use anything magical against it.
[18:07] <Simon Kerrick> ...I could destroy it, you know.
[18:07] <@The Intern> That seems to have been it foe the moment.
[18:07] <@The Intern> How?
[18:07] <Simon Kerrick> None of your business, but I could do it.
[18:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Then do it.
[18:07] <Simon Kerrick> I would have to time travel Twice, I think, in order to pull it off.
[18:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Ahh, there's the rub.
[18:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...
[18:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes.
[18:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You know what?
[18:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> *I'll* enable it.
[18:08] <Simon Kerrick> Understand, I was not planning to do this for about 300 years from now.
[18:08] <Simon Kerrick> I am not sure it would work.
[18:08] <@The Intern> ..Paisley?
[18:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I can whip up two time storms.
[18:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Precisely made to get you there.
[18:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If the Time Lords won't do it, I'll step up.
[18:09] <Simon Kerrick> Alright.
[18:09] <Simon Kerrick> I will need time to figure out exactly when i need to go to, but after that, it's pretty much a doable thing.
[18:09] <Simon Kerrick> ..............
[18:09] * Simon Kerrick paces.
[18:10] <Simon Kerrick> You will all forget I have done this for you, however.
[18:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> WE're time active.
[18:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's not that stupidly linear.
[18:10] <Simon Kerrick> Not for that reason. I meant because everybody hates me.
[18:10] <Simon Kerrick> However...
[18:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> Plus I can always remind them.
[18:11] * Simon Kerrick strains his neck, as though listening to a distant sound.
[18:11] <Simon Kerrick> ........................................................................It can be done.
[18:11] * Simon Kerrick swallows, fearfully. "It can be done."
[18:11] <@The Intern> Will these means involve magic, magical energy or soul-energy at all?
[18:12] <@The Intern> Directed against the device?
[18:12] <@The Intern> Because if so we cannot proceed.
[18:12] <Simon Kerrick> I'm a sorcerer. You think I'm going to smash it by working with a-------No. Not against the device itself.
[18:13] <@The Intern> All right.
[18:13] <@The Intern> I won't get in the way.
[18:13] * Simon Kerrick trembles.
[18:14] <Simon Kerrick> Let me.... check my figures.
[18:14] <Simon Kerrick> ..........Are you guys sure you want me to do this? That you trust me to do this?
[18:14] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte looks past Intern towards Big Grocery
[18:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes.
[18:14] <Simon Kerrick> .................
[18:15] <Simon Kerrick> Do you want me to try it, even though I could potentially fail?
[18:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> All attempts risk failure.
[18:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We will of course want the remains of the device.
[18:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That's all right, isn't it?
[18:16] <Simon Kerrick> There won't be any remains of the device.
[18:16] <Simon Kerrick> Maybe you guys shouldn't do this.
[18:16] <Simon Kerrick> Maybe you should try to fix this.
[18:16] <Simon Kerrick> This goes against everything I was trained to do.
[18:17] <Simon Kerrick> I'm trying something I don't know will work, and having to borrow power to do it.
[18:17] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte looks back to Big Grocery
[18:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I think you're right.
[18:17] <Simon Kerrick> I'm going to go do some calculations.
[18:17] <Simon Kerrick> If it will work, I'll attempt it.
[18:17] * Simon Kerrick goes over, and sits deathly still, thinking very carefully.
[18:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We wouldn't want to put you in any uncomfortable situations with.... other powers.
[18:18] * Matsuo Shin is back
[18:18] * Matsuo Shin watches this
[18:19] <@The Intern> Hello, Matsuo~
[18:19] <spiritflame> Chaldene rolls 1d100 [ 90 ]
[18:20] <Matsuo Shin> hello
[18:20] <Chaldene> /DM The moon starts to phase and waver eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever so slightly.
[18:20] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'm reading some odd gravimetric readings from Chaldene.
[18:21] <Simon Kerrick> .......................I don't think it....
[18:21] * Matsuo Shin sits on the Q sofa, thinking
[18:21] <Simon Kerrick> What do you mean?
[18:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'm not sure...
[18:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> the mass of the planet is changing every few microspans.
[18:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> Not by much
[18:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^the moon
[18:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'd say 5 or six grams.
[18:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> I don't understand what's going on.
[18:23] * Matsuo Shin opens a ginger ale and drinks
[18:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...the surface features are changing..
[18:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> back and forth///
[18:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> timeline flux...
[18:24] <@The Intern> Eh?
[18:25] * @The Intern chcks trhe scanners
[18:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> Water on it now. Now no water.
[18:25] * Simon Kerrick sits, fearful.
[18:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> Plants. No plants.
[18:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> Atmosphere, no atmosphere.
[18:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> The s[BLEEP]t..
[18:25] * @The Intern studies the readings
[18:25] <@The Intern> Timeline iteration is occuring.
[18:25] * Matsuo Shin quiet opens his journel and reads
[18:26] <@The Intern> The planet is cycling between possible timelines.
[18:26] <@The Intern> Possible alternates..
[18:26] <@The Intern> Temporal Fugue states...
[18:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> How can this... why is this?
[18:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's settled now.
[18:26] * Simon Kerrick says nothing, his confidence gone.
[18:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> ....A lush,.verdant planet with water and plants, and atmosphere...
[18:27] <Simon Kerrick> There has to be SOMETHING.
[18:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> But doing th emath that atmopshere won't last.
[18:27] <Simon Kerrick> What about Morrigan?
[18:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> Jupiter will pull it all away in a matter of months
[18:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> This is a moon that should only exist around a musch smaller planet
[18:27] <@The Intern> What about Morrigan?
[18:27] * @The Intern is half listneing to them both.
[18:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> That moon has become a paradise.
[18:29] <Simon Kerrick> Morrigan can make antimagic fields, remember?
[18:29] <Simon Kerrick> It has?
[18:29] <Simon Kerrick> Would all of it have become a paradise?
[18:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes
[18:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> It looks that way...
[18:29] <Simon Kerrick> Intern, want to go there? Like right now?
[18:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> I mean if I had to make an analogy
[18:29] <@The Intern> ...Not particulaly.
[18:30] <@The Intern> It's still enemy territory.
[18:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's like someone tried on all the different possible shirts that moon could ever wear in all of creation.
[18:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> And picked the absolute best one.
[18:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> And put it on there.
[18:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> The Best possible Timeline
[18:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well until it fully integrates into the physics of the situation
[18:31] * @Chateaux Concierge can already see atmosphere bleeding off
[18:31] <Matsuo Shin> then what's the point
[18:32] <Simon Kerrick> I intend to find out.
[18:32] <Simon Kerrick> Give me a space suit.
[18:32] * @Chateaux Concierge gives him one
[18:32] <Matsuo Shin> good luck
[18:33] <Simon Kerrick> I want to leave something here.
[18:33] <Simon Kerrick> Every one of you swear to me that you won't touch it or allow it to be touched.
[18:33] * Matsuo Shin just silently reads his journel
[18:33] <Simon Kerrick> ...or scanned, analyzed, disenchanted, or bugged.
[18:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> I;ll do you one better.
[18:34] * @Chateaux Concierge gives him a pod.
[18:34] <@Chateaux Concierge> Put it in there and put th epod whereever you like.
[18:34] * Simon Kerrick looks leerily at this.
[18:34] * @Chateaux Concierge sighs
[18:34] <@Chateaux Concierge> Fine I'll hold it.
[18:34] * @Chateaux Concierge makes a briefcase
[18:34] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'll keep it in me.

[18:36] * @Chateaux Concierge helps him put the clothes on
[18:36] * Matsuo Shin glances over at plant-kun
[18:36] * Simon Kerrick has moved to: [ Spacesuit ]

[18:37] * Simon Kerrick [Spacesuit] vanishes

[18:38] * Matsuo Shin turns back to his journel
[18:42] * Matsuo Shin turns the page
[18:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mm.
[18:44] * Matsuo Shin writes something down
[18:44] <@The Intern> Were you really going to let him Time Travel?
[18:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm pretty sure he was going to borrow power from something above him.
[18:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Something I'm rather interested in.
[18:47] * Matsuo Shin sketches some pics
[18:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What's that, Matsuo?
[18:48] <Matsuo Shin> nothing specific
[18:48] <Matsuo Shin> ..I just need something to get my mind away from this
[18:51] <Matsuo Shin> I'm starting to feel a desire to withdraw my assistance
[18:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Believe in *us*, then.
[18:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Never mind the Eightfold.
[18:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> *we* need you.
[18:53] <Matsuo Shin> something about this whole thing disturbs me
[18:56] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> As it should.
[18:56] <@The Intern> Anything in particular?
[18:57] * Matsuo Shin silently sketches a pattern in his journel
[18:57] <Matsuo Shin> I don't know
[18:57] <Matsuo Shin> I only have so long to help you all....
[18:58] <@The Intern> So long?
[18:59] <Matsuo Shin> ....
[18:59] * Matsuo Shin telepathically tells intern what he means
[19:10] * Matsuo Shin sips his ginger ale

[19:13] <@The Intern> Hello.
[19:15] * Matsuo Shin is away: OOC: need to step away for a sec
[19:17] <David O`Cain> What's the sitrep?
[19:18] <@The Intern> We lost two agents on the moon. magic seems to power the device. The moon's entire makeup shifted. Simon is coming back with more information.
[19:20] *** Simon Kerrick has joined #suburbansenshi2
[19:20] <@spiritflame> konbanwa simon kerrick
[19:20] * Simon Kerrick [Spacesuit] suddenly appears in the middle of the Lobby.
[19:20] * Simon Kerrick [Spacesuit] is carrying a dead ewok in one hand, and a corpse of a person wearing Intern's Uniform on his back.
[19:20] * David O`Cain turns to Simon, "Start talking."
[19:20] <@The Intern> ................
[19:21] * @The Intern rushes over to the body
[19:21] * Simon Kerrick [Spacesuit] just looks at him, or it at least can be assumed that he is looking at David, since his visor is down.
[19:21] <@The Intern> Varnal!
[19:21] *** and innertime lol bbl
[19:21] *** dinner
[19:22] * David O`Cain motions to Simon to lose the helmet
[19:22] * Simon Kerrick [Spacesuit] just looks at him, and then nods his head.
[19:22] <spiritflame> Simon Kerrick rolls 1d20 [ 20 ]
[19:22] * Simon Kerrick [Spacesuit] manages to take the helmet off.
[19:23] * Simon Kerrick [Spacesuit] takes the rest of the spacesuit off too.
[19:23] * Simon Kerrick has moved back to the lobby
[19:23] <Simon Kerrick> Back now.
[19:24] <David O`Cain> Start talking, Kerrick. What do you know?
[19:24] <Simon Kerrick> Do I really not merit a please?
[19:24] <Simon Kerrick> I just risked my life on your behalf.
[19:25] <Simon Kerrick> I'm seriously thinking of just taking off.
[19:25] <Simon Kerrick> Want to ask me to stay?
[19:28] <Simon Kerrick> Goodbye, David.
[19:28] <David O`Cain> Fine. Would you, please, tell us what you found out?
[19:28] <Simon Kerrick> ...........
[19:28] *** Simon Kerrick flips a coin into the air and catches it, tails side up
[19:28] <Simon Kerrick> Nope. I won't.
[19:28] <Simon Kerrick> So long.
[19:29] <Simon Kerrick> Seriously, show some gratitude next time.
[19:29] <David O`Cain> I said please, Kerrick.
[19:29] <Simon Kerrick> I almost died yesterday, and was willing to risk it again.
[19:29] <Simon Kerrick> I can't ever do enough, can I?
[19:29] <Simon Kerrick> Huh?
[19:29] <Simon Kerrick> Always you hate my guts.
[19:29] <David O`Cain> What?
[19:29] <Simon Kerrick> .....Maybe I'm this way because of the Mercurians...
[19:30] <Simon Kerrick> But why didn't you think I was worthy of even the most token amount of courtesy or respect?
[19:33] <David O`Cain> I don't think you were hearing the inflection in my voice. I was in no way being condescending to you when you got back. I am VERY curious in what you found out during your excursion.
[19:34] <Simon Kerrick> Alright.
[19:34] <Simon Kerrick> Fine.
[19:34] <Simon Kerrick> She's pissed at the Time Lords, not simply with us as a group.
[19:34] <Simon Kerrick> She was making that stuff on the moon for practice.
[19:34] <Simon Kerrick> She's gonna make a utopia after she wins, oh, and by the way, that doomsday device is on the moon now.
[19:35] <Simon Kerrick> Right up there.
[19:35] * Simon Kerrick points upward.
[19:35] <David O`Cain> ...........
[19:35] <David O`Cain> The very moon that's orbiting the Earth?
[19:37] <Simon Kerrick> Yup.
[19:37] <Simon Kerrick> Sucks, doesn't it?
[19:38] <Simon Kerrick> I'm like %90+ confident that she'll use it anyway after she gets what she wants.
[19:38] <Simon Kerrick> I will confess I understand how she's coming from.
[19:39] <Simon Kerrick> If you guys ever betrayed me utterly or got ahold of my phylactery or something, I would go to similar lengths to make you all pay.
[19:40] <David O`Cain> God damn it...
[19:42] <@The Intern> ...
[19:43] <@The Intern> It's the moon of Jupiter <_<
[19:43] <@The Intern> Cheldene
[19:43] <@The Intern> ^Chaldene
[19:43] <Simon Kerrick> (( Damn it. Dude, you just said "the moon." ))
[19:43] * @The Intern checks over poor Varnal. The electricity just fried her hearts into ash.
[19:43] <Simon Kerrick> (( Simon can't just teleport anywhere. That's why he went. Well, he could have POSSIBLY made it back to Chaldene, having been there once. ))
[19:44] *** there's only one plot related moon with a silence device dude
[19:44] <Simon Kerrick> (( So in the interest of not rectonning (the good kind) let's say that. But I seriously didn't know. ))
[19:44] *** plus i'm sure Chat mentioned it was near jupiter
[19:44] <Simon Kerrick> (( Forgive me, but putting it on the Earth's moon in the throne of Serenity and so close would send a really big message. ))
[19:45] *** But that's not what the Tyrant has in mind.
[19:45] * @The Intern salutes Varnal and crosses the dead girl's arms over her hearts
[19:45] <@The Intern> Simon.
[19:45] <@The Intern> Thank you for bring her back.
[19:45] <@The Intern> ^bringing
[19:46] * @The Intern says that fully sincerely.
[19:47] <@The Intern> You didn't happen to see another... did you?
[19:47] <Simon Kerrick> I appreciate it, but I fully expect you to forget tha-----No.
[19:47] <Simon Kerrick> I was lucky to get one.
[19:47] <@The Intern> I don't forget my debts.
[19:47] <Simon Kerrick> Act as though that body is bugged or dangerous, by the way.
[19:47] <Simon Kerrick> Also, what is THIS THING?
[19:47] * Simon Kerrick holds up the Ewok.
[19:47] <Simon Kerrick> I sure hope this is not the other one.
[19:47] <@The Intern> I've scanned her. She's... just d..
[19:48] * @The Intern looks
[19:48] <David O`Cain> S[BLEEP]t. What got her, Intern?
[19:48] * @The Intern tilts her head
[19:48] * Matsuo Shin is back
[19:48] * Matsuo Shin listens
[19:48] <@The Intern> Massive electric surge bunrt her hearts to a crisp.
[19:48] <David O`Cain> Ick...
[19:49] <Simon Kerrick> Mmmmm.
[19:49] <@The Intern> That looks like an Diminutus Wookus...
[19:49] <@The Intern> an "Ewok" but it's too small.
[19:49] <Simon Kerrick> Lichdom: Don't knock it til you've tried it.
[19:49] <Matsuo Shin> a what?
[19:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> Probbaly some freak of paralle evolution.
[19:49] <Simon Kerrick> She had all kinds of life up there, plants too.
[19:49] <David O`Cain> An Ewok? The hell?
[19:50] <Matsuo Shin> so why do it
[19:50] <Simon Kerrick> By the way, she'sno t angry at all of us. She's angry at the Time Lords for letting her rot.
[19:50] * @Chateaux Concierge scans it
[19:50] <Matsuo Shin> ..why create this paradise only to destroy it
[19:50] <Simon Kerrick> In fact, she still rots.
[19:50] <Simon Kerrick> Because it's practice.
[19:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> This thing is definitely from another timeline.
[19:50] <Simon Kerrick> I made a paradise and then destroyed it more than once.
[19:50] <Simon Kerrick> Ask Guyver. He saw me.
[19:50] <Matsuo Shin> practice for what?
[19:51] <???> ♦ Got in one, son~

[19:55] <Mr. Strix> ♡ Promise? Promise nothing, old son. She delivered. ♡

[20:01] <Simon Kerrick> Why is he singing a nonsense song?
[20:01] <Mr. Strix> Trade Secret.
[20:01] <Simon Kerrick> That makes absolutely no sense.

[20:01] <Mr. Strix> See you on Chaldene, peeps~ ♡
[20:02] *** Mr. Strix [mrstrix@goldenrevolution.org] has left #suburbansenshi2 (May your death be a particularly unpleasant and humiliating one~)
[20:02] <@The Intern> He's nothing like the man I knew...
[20:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well if that's the man he wanted to be...
[20:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Christ, what an A[BLEEP]le.
[20:03] <Matsuo Shin> the question now is..how do we stop this
[20:03] <Simon Kerrick> Well, she'll kill you if you show up in person.
[20:03] <Simon Kerrick> However, I suspect there is a way.
[20:03] <@The Intern> First we eliminate the Silence Device.
[20:03] <@The Intern> ...yes?
[20:03] <Simon Kerrick> Pfft, please.
[20:04] <Simon Kerrick> Intern, do your people have some kind of vault?
[20:04] <Masked Figure> /
[20:04] <@The Intern> We have many vaults.
[20:04] <Simon Kerrick> One where they keep memories or people or.... hmmm, tools.
[20:04] <Masked Figure> ....
[20:04] * @The Intern and Paise shoot each other VERY worried look.
[20:04] <@The Intern> ....Why?
[20:05] <Simon Kerrick> Not the prison planet.
[20:05] <Simon Kerrick> Something else.
[20:05] <Masked Figure> .....
[20:05] <Simon Kerrick> It would have to be a place where whatever could be inside could be questioned.
[20:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Again, why?
[20:06] <Masked Figure> What do you know?
[20:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No.
[20:06] <Simon Kerrick> I know many things!
[20:06] <Simon Kerrick> :D
[20:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (If we dare talk to it again)
[20:06] <Simon Kerrick> Ah, Mercurians, you have taught me well.
[20:06] * Matsuo Shin sips some water
[20:06] <Simon Kerrick> Moving on.
[20:06] <Simon Kerrick> Whatever it is, you have seen it before.
[20:06] <Simon Kerrick> Hurt it somehow.
[20:06] <Simon Kerrick> One person named it.... actually. No.
[20:07] <Simon Kerrick> You took its True Name.
[20:07] <Masked Figure> We know this.
[20:07] <@The Intern> We know all this.
[20:07] <@The Intern> The bulk of its power is lost. Deliberaltey.
[20:07] <Simon Kerrick> Well give me a break---I had no idea about it!
[20:07] <@The Intern> We are not going to seek it out again.
[20:07] <Simon Kerrick> Just trying to help, sheesh.
[20:07] <@The Intern> (I made that mistake once...)
[20:07] <Simon Kerrick> Ah, well, that's what I would do.
[20:07] <@The Intern> (Not happening again.)
[20:08] <@The Intern> Trust me.
[20:08] <Simon Kerrick> Because that might be the one way to threaten it.
[20:08] <@The Intern> Dealing with the Tyrant out here...
[20:08] <@The Intern> is infinitely preferable.
[20:08] <Simon Kerrick> Well, I don't suppose you want to say WHAT it is, so I can think of some other things?
[20:08] <@The Intern> No.
[20:08] <@The Intern> Even saying it...
[20:08] <@The Intern> would be disaster.
[20:08] <Simon Kerrick> The place, not the entity.
[20:09] * Simon Kerrick 's eyes light up insidiously.
[20:09] <Simon Kerrick> I know how to kill it.
[20:09] <Simon Kerrick> We could give it the Forbidden name.
[20:09] <@The Intern> That would achieve precisely the opposite.
[20:09] <Simon Kerrick> That will either cause it to be destroyed utterly, or kill literally everybody in all of creation.
[20:09] <Simon Kerrick> Ah, so it's the second onet, hen.
[20:09] <Simon Kerrick> ^then
[20:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ WAY TO TELL HIM DUMBASS
[20:10] <@The Intern> ♦ ><
[20:10] <Simon Kerrick> So would getting rid of the name completely stop it?
[20:10] <Simon Kerrick> Because there *IS* a way.
[20:10] <@The Intern> No.
[20:10] <@The Intern> The name's already been removed.
[20:10] <Simon Kerrick> Ah, so we don't want to unname it.
[20:10] <@The Intern> It's forging its own... identity.
[20:10] <Simon Kerrick> Oh. Seriously? How in the planes did you manage THAT?
[20:11] <Simon Kerrick> So giving it names gives it power?
[20:11] * @The Intern looks at him like "really?"
[20:11] <Simon Kerrick> Really?
[20:11] <@The Intern> To a Conceptual being, Names are everything.
[20:12] <@The Intern> They are literally what fix them to creation.
[20:12] <Simon Kerrick> Wait.
[20:12] * Simon Kerrick laughs.
[20:12] <Simon Kerrick> Who know about this being?
[20:12] <Simon Kerrick> Like, right now?
[20:12] <Simon Kerrick> How many people know about it?
[20:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ DO NOT TELL HIM
[20:12] <Simon Kerrick> Estimate if you have to.
[20:13] * Simon Kerrick is grinning.
[20:13] <Simon Kerrick> No no... this is it.
[20:13] <Simon Kerrick> I have it.
[20:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ HE WILL USE THIS INFORMATION
[20:13] * Simon Kerrick didn't hear PPP.
[20:13] <Simon Kerrick> I think I've got it.
[20:13] *** of course not she's using telepathy now
[20:13] <Simon Kerrick> So does gaining recognitioin make it stronger?
[20:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Simon
[20:13] <Simon Kerrick> Heh.... You are ignoring me?
[20:13] <Simon Kerrick> Really? I think I have the answer.
[20:14] <@The Intern> What, killing everyone who knows?
[20:14] <Simon Kerrick> Paisley, just a second ago, you were willing to help me travel in time if I thought the idea would succeed.
[20:14] <Simon Kerrick> Well, think about it.
[20:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Simon.
[20:14] <Simon Kerrick> Yes?
[20:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Simon are you the master of your own fate.
[20:14] * Simon Kerrick smiles with perfect propriety. "Yes Paisley?"
[20:14] <Simon Kerrick> I ask myself that question every day.
[20:14] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is not being mocking here.
[20:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'll tell you straight up.
[20:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I don't think you are.
[20:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I think you try to be.
[20:15] <Simon Kerrick> Destiny makes slaves of us all, Paisley.
[20:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But I think...
[20:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I fear there's someone more.
[20:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> _You're_ not the person I'm worried about screwing us.
[20:15] <Simon Kerrick> So you are telling me to get lost.
[20:15] <Simon Kerrick> Right?
[20:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No.
[20:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm telling you that's why I'm not telling you more.
[20:16] <Masked Figure> ...
[20:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Because from my mouth to God' Ear.
[20:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That's what I think.
[20:16] <Simon Kerrick> Well....
[20:16] * Simon Kerrick crosses his arms, angrily.
[20:17] * Masked Figure head tilts, listening to an unheard voice
[20:17] <Simon Kerrick> It sure is fun being accused of things you have no way to disprove, Paisley.
[20:17] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte sighs, she just knew he was gonna f[BLEEP]king do this
[20:17] <Simon Kerrick> LOADS of fun.
[20:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Simon.
[20:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> you keep looking for a "master".
[20:17] <Simon Kerrick> Heh, like Solarchos, and the Egaians.
[20:17] <Simon Kerrick> Bulls[BLEEP]t.
[20:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We've noticed.
[20:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You asked Proprietor if it was him.
[20:18] <Simon Kerrick> You think I seek subservience? Really?
[20:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Before you knew who it was.
[20:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No.
[20:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I know you want the opposite.
[20:18] <Masked Figure> Mayhap it is not looking... hiding from is more apt
[20:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But do you have it
[20:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Right now
[20:18] <Simon Kerrick> Heh. Heh heh.
[20:18] * Simon Kerrick sighs.
[20:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> I remember that voice.
[20:18] <Simon Kerrick> Alright, since you won't tell me, then listen.
[20:18] <Simon Kerrick> You owe me that.
[20:19] <David O`Cain> What voice, Chateaux?
[20:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm listening
[20:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> Tell ya later.
[20:19] * Simon Kerrick scowls.
[20:20] <Simon Kerrick> ...........
[20:20] <Simon Kerrick> Does people knowing about it give it power?
[20:20] <Simon Kerrick> If so, then you need to cover the Earth in some way.
[20:20] <Simon Kerrick> Because it will stunt to prove to people that it exists where you cannot deny it anymore.
[20:20] <Simon Kerrick> Maybe it will destroy a planet.
[20:20] <Simon Kerrick> Maybe some other attention getting device.
[20:21] <Simon Kerrick> But if it gains power from names, wouldn't the best thing to do be to forget?
[20:21] <Simon Kerrick> And make everybody else who knows this forget?
[20:21] <Masked Figure> Too pat
[20:21] <Masked Figure> *late
[20:21] <Simon Kerrick> Do not pretend that this is beyond your power.
[20:21] <Masked Figure> it has a body now
[20:22] <Simon Kerrick> If that makes it too late, Masked Man, then why is Intern more worried about the name and concept than the body?
[20:22] <Simon Kerrick> Erase their memories. Erase your own.
[20:22] <Masked Figure> Kill the body, then forget
[20:22] <Simon Kerrick> Unmake it.
[20:22] <Simon Kerrick> If it is in danger of being forgotten, and this weakens it, then the body will come to you.
[20:22] <@The Intern> It's a reasonable stratagem.
[20:23] <@The Intern> But what's in the body has already been forgotten.
[20:23] <Simon Kerrick> It will come for interaction and attention.
[20:23] <@The Intern> We don't want to feed it.
[20:23] <Simon Kerrick> But you will if the people of Earth know it is there.
[20:23] <Simon Kerrick> Distract them or obscure it.
[20:24] <Simon Kerrick> Let me be frank with you, eh?
[20:24] <David O`Cain> Like feeding trolls, Intern?
[20:24] <@The Intern> The Humans don't know its name.
[20:24] <@The Intern> A few might.
[20:24] <Simon Kerrick> Then you must eliminate the life or memory of those who do.
[20:24] <Simon Kerrick> And... I suspect, those who know about it are not mostly humans?
[20:24] <Simon Kerrick> Am I right?
[20:25] <Simon Kerrick> It said that it served and was questioned and held by the Time Lords.
[20:25] <@The Intern> Correct.
[20:25] <Simon Kerrick> No, I doubt that it's humans who need to forget it.
[20:25] <@The Intern> Yes.
[20:25] <Simon Kerrick> I think it is your people who do.
[20:25] <@The Intern> And more.
[20:26] <Simon Kerrick> I wonder if they would trust you enough to make themselves forget... if they would forsake the control and knowledge theys eem to crave.
[20:26] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte looks at simon and laughs
[20:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh there is an irony here
[20:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> but I can't say it.
[20:26] <Simon Kerrick> So. You don't want this thing to have a body, and it languishes with unending and accelerating hatred where it is now.
[20:27] <Simon Kerrick> By the way, Intern?
[20:27] <Simon Kerrick> Once it gets what it wants?
[20:27] <@The Intern> Yes?
[20:27] <Simon Kerrick> It will wipe you all out anyway.
[20:27] <@The Intern> Of that I'm fairly certain.
[20:28] <Simon Kerrick> Well you DID ask for information, so I'm trying to provide it within the constraints I'm suddenly under.
[20:28] <Simon Kerrick> Intern...
[20:28] <Simon Kerrick> Where do your people go to become Immortal?
[20:29] <@The Intern> We don't.
[20:29] <@The Intern> We have a lifespan.
[20:29] <@The Intern> Only one Time Lord was ever said to have become immortal.
[20:29] <@The Intern> Rassilon himself.
[20:30] <Simon Kerrick> How did he do it?
[20:30] <Masked Figure> It's more like extra lives in addttion to an overly large lifespan in the case of a normal timelord. No one up mushrooms to replenish them though, normally
[20:30] <@The Intern> No one is quite sure. But since he created the process of Regeneration it's likely he mastered perpetual bodily rgeeration.
[20:33] <David O`Cain> Damn.
[20:36] <@The Intern> (Immortality... what's he getting at...)
[20:36] <@The Intern> (The immortality of the Matrix?)
[20:37] * @The Intern doesn't feel like broaching the topic of the Matrix.
[20:37] *** I'm getitng wore out
[20:37] *** I'll bbl
[20:38] * @The Intern is away: informing the Co-Ordinator
[20:38] <Masked Figure> Even if we take out the silence device, there is still the matter of her beam of cyrstal thunder death
[20:38] <Simon Kerrick> That doesn't concern me.
[20:39] <Masked Figure> I'm pretty sure being blasted with the engery of one of the cyrtals wouild put even you out of comissian for quite awhile.
[20:39] <Simon Kerrick> I wonder if you are dealing with Rassilon himself.
[20:39] <Simon Kerrick> Heh. You think so, huh?
[20:39] <Simon Kerrick> well, you are probably right.
[20:40] <Simon Kerrick> I'm going to go ponder things for a bit.
[20:40] <Simon Kerrick> When you are ready to speak of such things again, I will find you.
[20:40] * Simon Kerrick is away
[20:40] * David O`Cain sighs
[20:43] <Masked Figure> It's not Rassilon.
[20:47] <Simon Kerrick> How do YOU know?
[20:48] <Simon Kerrick> Sheesh. Can't concentrate worth jack around here.
[20:48] * Simon Kerrick leaves for real this time.
[20:48] * Simon Kerrick is away
[20:50] * David O`Cain takes a seat on a sofa, "Man, what to do?"
[20:50] <Masked Figure> Because I know who it is. But I shall never tell
[20:51] <Matsuo Shin> hm?
[21:04] <David O`Cain> Lemme guess, Masky. Spoilers?
[21:05] <Masked Figure> We just explained why we will never name the Tyrant
[21:06] <David O`Cain> Oh. Right.
[21:06] <Masked Figure> I know who she is. But it is a name I wish I could forget
[21:06] <David O`Cain> I see.
[21:10] * Matsuo Shin tosses david a drink
[21:14] * David O`Cain catches the drink
[21:14] <David O`Cain> What's this?
[21:17] <Matsuo Shin> coke
[21:19] <David O`Cain> Oh, sweet (starts drinking)!
[21:26] <David O`Cain> So, what's going on with you, Matsuo?
[21:27] <Matsuo Shin> trying to figure out this
[21:28] <David O`Cain> Same. I feel like our options are severely limited.
[21:29] <Matsuo Shin> agreed
[21:30] <David O`Cain> Furthermore, there is the Mercurians. The moment we even bother coming up with a plan, there's high chance they'll inform Jupiter of it and stop it.
[21:31] <David O`Cain> That's my feeling, anyway.
[21:31] <Matsuo Shin> they're probably listening to us right now
[21:34] * David O`Cain nods
[21:36] <David O`Cain> So, what now, then?
[21:41] <Matsuo Shin> I don't know
[21:42] <David O`Cain> Wonderful. ~_~
[21:44] <Matsuo Shin> we need to take out the silence machine...
[21:44] <Matsuo Shin> from the sound of it...magic won't work
[21:45] <Masked Figure> I can try asking for Her protection]
[21:45] <David O`Cain> Magic won't work? Who says we had to use magic to stop it?
[21:45] <Matsuo Shin> her?
[21:46] <Masked Figure> She told me last night. If thoust would triumph, thou must look to the light.
[21:48] <Matsuo Shin> hm I see....is it magic?
[21:48] <Masked Figure> Why do you say magic will not work?
[21:50] <Matsuo Shin> that's apperently what we were told
[21:51] <Masked Figure> Is not a Senshi's power magic itself?
[21:53] <David O`Cain> Guys, we gotta be careful. Sneaky Mercurians could be about.
[21:58] <David O`Cain> Hmmmm.
[22:01] <Matsuo Shin> hmmmm
[22:05] * David O`Cain gets up and starts pacing as he drinks Coca-Cola
[22:10] <David O`Cain> There's gotta be something.
[22:11] * Matsuo Shin reviews what they know
[22:12] <Matsuo Shin> we cannot use magic, magical energy or soul energy against the device
[22:13] <David O`Cain> Conventional means, perhaps?
[22:15] <Masked Figure> You say we cannot use magic. But who is to say we cannot use magic to sheild ourselves
[22:16] <Matsuo Shin> I don't know if we should risk trying to find a loophole, lazard
[22:17] <Masked Figure> I will not send anyone out to disable that machine until I can find a way to sheild them from it's effects
[22:18] * David O`Cain continues to pace
[22:18] <Matsuo Shin> yes well..
[22:18] * Matsuo Shin blinks, looking at something
[22:18] <Masked Figure> The silence is Death. She is life
[22:19] * Matsuo Shin picks up a piece of paper off the bartop
[22:19] <David O`Cain> Matsuo?
[22:20] <@The Intern> Yuo can't use magic because magic is fueling it.
[22:20] <@The Intern> It appears to be converting magic and soul energy into power.
[22:21] * Matsuo Shin hands the paper to intern
[22:21] * @The Intern looks at it
[22:21] * the paper contains a single piece of code on it
[22:22] * @The Intern examines this code
[22:24] <Yaijinden> Clearly sufficiently-large laser beams will do the trick.
[22:24] * the code is some sort of firmware update..it provides a 20 second shield which can..at the very least...resist strong energy attacks
[22:24] <Matsuo Shin> ..fortuitous
[22:25] <@The Intern> ...very.
[22:25] * @The Intern looks to Yaijinden
[22:25] <@The Intern> Why not?
[22:25] <@The Intern> Sometimes conventional weapons are perfectly qell-suited.
[22:25] <@The Intern> ^well
[22:25] <Matsuo Shin> ....
[22:25] <Matsuo Shin> ..the more advanced the technology..the more primative way it is to defeat it
[22:26] <@The Intern> Indeed.
[22:26] <Yaijinden> pew pew pew
[22:26] <David O`Cain> Explosives perhaps?

[22:46] *** on the firey plains of mars a female ice warrior raises a rock, ready to bring it down on the head of the squrming ape, her helmet cracked from a bomb blast

[22:50] <Haru E> Yep. Gonna warn you, though, it's very strong stuff.
[22:53] <David O`Cain> What do we do? Drink it? Dump it over our heads?
[22:53] <Haru E> Recommended dosage is one drop, on the bridge of your nose.
[22:54] <David O`Cain> That's it?
[22:54] <Haru E> They were trying for "one drop in the ear", but that makes it a little too strong.
[22:55] <@The Intern> We have some Retcon™ brand drug which is much less traumatic,
[22:55] <@The Intern> I believe it is orange-flavoured.
[22:56] * Haru E takes another look at her Baciel-brand Brain Bleach™.
[22:56] <Haru E> ....ok, you're right on that one.
[22:57] <Haru E> I was looking at the "demon-dosage amount."

[23:09] <Simon Kerrick> Ah, greetings everyone.
[23:09] <David O`Cain> Hey, Kerrick.
[23:09] <Matsuo Shin> hello simon
[23:10] <Simon Kerrick> Hello Matsuo.
[23:10] <Simon Kerrick> I was just off pondering ways to fix the problems.
[23:10] <Simon Kerrick> Also, I had to contact my servant with orders.
[23:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ("Sorry chaps I just had to dash, had to tell my servants what to do, what what")
[23:12] <Simon Kerrick> Have any new developments presented themselves?
[23:13] * Matsuo Shin looks to the others on this
[23:13] <@The Intern> No.
[23:14] <Simon Kerrick> Also, I need to know something: Can the Silence destroy objects, or must the target have life?
[23:14] <Simon Kerrick> Because if it is the latter, I think I have stumbled upon a viable solution.
[23:15] <Masked Figure> We're not using an undead army.
[23:16] <Simon Kerrick> That was not my idea.
[23:16] <@The Intern> This version seems to destroy objects.
[23:16] <Simon Kerrick> GAH.
[23:16] <Simon Kerrick> I wonder if it can cross into the Ethereal plane? Probably so.
[23:17] <Masked Figure> And even if we did it wo.. Hold a on a tic.

[23:18] <Matsuo Shin> he left in a hurry
[23:18] * @spiritflame stomps a typo-daemon
[23:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> LOL
[23:18] <Masked Figure> I think it is the fact taht you exude sprit energy and he is the walking death, he fears you more then anything
[23:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> Maybe you two are married
[23:18] * @spiritflame gives Chat a look
[23:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> Seriously
[23:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> the wife shows up
[23:18] <Matsuo Shin> ....
[23:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> the husband runs
[23:19] <Haru E> Pffffffffffffft
[23:19] * @spiritflame PUNCHES chat in the face
[23:19] *** there is a THUNDERCLAP
[23:19] <Masked Figure> Need I remind you of the time you neerly accidently fried sir Mormeril?
[23:19] <Masked Figure> !
[23:19] * @Chateaux Concierge stares crosseyed at the fist in her face
[23:19] * @spiritflame raises an eyebrow
[23:20] * @Chateaux Concierge pulls her arm back
[23:20] <Haru E> Hmm.... interesting.
[23:20] * @Chateaux Concierge OPEN HAND PUNCHES rei.bot in the stomach
[23:20] * @spiritflame goes through a wall!
[23:20] * @spiritflame ZWEES right back
[23:20] <David O`Cain> Whoa!
[23:20] * @Chateaux Concierge slides one foot back in a defensive posture
[23:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> You wanna go~
[23:21] * @spiritflame smirks
[23:21] <@spiritflame> Very good~
[23:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> I've been watching you fight for over a decade now~
[23:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> and all these other guys~
[23:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> and I've taken all your hits
[23:22] * @Chateaux Concierge flashbacks to ALL the f[BLEEP]king times she's been blown up
[23:22] <@spiritflame> Impressive. But this isn't the time.
[23:22] <@spiritflame> I need to speak to Simon. Can you assit.
[23:22] <@spiritflame> ^assist
[23:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah.
[23:23] * @Chateaux Concierge taps rei.got's forehead
[23:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> we're compatible. Scram.
[23:23] * @spiritflame bows
[23:23] *** @spiritflame [flamelotus@akasaka.hikawajinja.jp] has left #suburbansenshi2 (TYGER, tyger, burning bright in the forests of the night, what immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry?)
[23:23] * @Chateaux Concierge is now known as chat.bot
[23:23] <@chat.bot> LMFAO
[23:23] * Simon Kerrick peeks around a nearby building. *whew*
[23:23] <Simon Kerrick> /she's gone.
[23:23] <@chat.bot> ♡ Hi I'll be youe chatbot tonight~ ♡
[23:24] * @chat.bot coughs, rei.bot wants her to be serious
[23:24] <Masked Figure> This is unusual
[23:24] <@chat.bot> Ahen
[23:24] <@chat.bot> I will speak for the miko
[23:24] * @chat.bot coughs and adopts her ridiculously serious expression
[23:24] <Haru E> (I am so damn tempted to make jokes right now.....)
[23:24] <@chat.bot> Simon.
[23:24] * Simon Kerrick teleports to the lobby.
[23:24] * Simon Kerrick is back
[23:25] * Simon Kerrick looks at Chat.bot.
[23:25] *** Chat.bot is your average everyday Chat.bot
[23:25] <Simon Kerrick> Uh.... huh.
[23:25] * @chat.bot looks like chat dressed up as rei.bot
[23:25] * Simon Kerrick holds his head askance.
[23:25] <@chat.bot> Hey.
[23:25] <@chat.bot> She wants to talk to you
[23:25] <@chat.bot> Anyway
[23:25] <@chat.bot> here she is
[23:25] <Simon Kerrick> She could use a telephone! ><
[23:25] <@chat.bot> Simon.
[23:26] <@chat.bot> The Silence is the ultimate destroyer.
[23:26] * Simon Kerrick takes a step backward.
[23:26] <@chat.bot> It was designed to utterly purofy and obliterate anything in its path.
[23:26] * David O`Cain listens as best he can
[23:26] <@chat.bot> At a low intensity is merely scoured life from the worlds it touched.
[23:26] <@chat.bot> ^it
[23:27] <@chat.bot> but with more force behind it...
[23:27] <@chat.bot> It could erase planets and more.
[23:27] <Simon Kerrick> Does it only destroy bodies? Is it truely oblivion?
[23:27] <@chat.bot> It was meant to purge the universe of darkness and light in equal measure.
[23:27] <@chat.bot> Hence the name
[23:27] <@chat.bot> The Silence.
[23:27] <Simon Kerrick> Question: If a person were destroyed by the Silence, could that person be wished bck with the Dragonballs?
[23:27] <@chat.bot> Once it passes, nothing is left.
[23:28] <Simon Kerrick> NOTHING?
[23:28] <@chat.bot> There is a death of the Soul.
[23:28] * Simon Kerrick smiles softly.
[23:28] <@chat.bot> There would be nothing to bring back.
[23:28] <Simon Kerrick> So be it.
[23:28] <Simon Kerrick> Would anything go on?
[23:29] <@chat.bot> Whatever was not touched by the Silence.
[23:29] <@chat.bot> What this... Tyrant is building is a finite creation.
[23:29] <@chat.bot> It does not strike me as having an unlimited range.
[23:30] * @chat.bot suddenly steps back
[23:30] <@chat.bot> /m,e looks aghast
[23:30] <Simon Kerrick> Could it destroy YOU?
[23:30] * @chat.bot looks very aghast
[23:31] <@chat.bot> More than likely given enough exposure.
[23:31] <@chat.bot> But...
[23:31] <@chat.bot> I see something more fearful than the death of the self.
[23:31] <@chat.bot> I see... the Great Cauldron.
[23:31] * Simon Kerrick does not understand.
[23:31] <@chat.bot> If it is loosed there...
[23:32] <Simon Kerrick> "Perfect Peace."
[23:32] * @chat.bot sees his incomprehension
[23:32] <@chat.bot> Galaxy Cauldron.
[23:32] <@chat.bot> The Wellspring of creation in this Galaxy.
[23:32] <Simon Kerrick> But then, I judge only by your expressions.
[23:32] <Simon Kerrick> Do people know this fact?
[23:32] <@chat.bot> Not common people.
[23:33] <@chat.bot> Those who have had to deal with it know of it.
[23:33] <@chat.bot> The Gods, the Sailor Senshi who fought in the Sailor Wars...
[23:33] <@chat.bot> Their allies.
[23:34] * Simon Kerrick doesn't look like he understands much of that, either.
[23:35] <Masked Figure> Humans don't know about it.
[23:36] * @chat.bot looks to MF to explain
[23:36] <Simon Kerrick> Well, I don't know it either.
[23:36] <Masked Figure> it is a where all life in the galaxey begins and ends
[23:36] <Simon Kerrick> Would you characterize what you are about to say as being the "creation mythos?"
[23:36] <Masked Figure> Creation FACTS
[23:37] <Simon Kerrick> Would somebody besides him please answer that question?
[23:37] <Simon Kerrick> Because it's pretty important.
[23:37] <Matsuo Shin> yes
[23:38] <Matsuo Shin> it is fact
[23:38] <@chat.bot> He speaks truth.
[23:38] <Matsuo Shin> the galaxy was created out of the cauldron
[23:38] <Matsuo Shin> or rather the "gods" were
[23:38] <@chat.bot> Starseeds and Sailor Crystals are constantly birthed from it.
[23:38] <@chat.bot> Mortals have starseeds; Sailor Senshi have Sailor Crystals.
[23:38] <Simon Kerrick> ......
[23:38] <David O`Cain> Day in, day out.
[23:38] <Simon Kerrick> Mythos.... Mythos.
[23:39] <Matsuo Shin> ....he's not gettin git
[23:39] <@chat.bot> ....
[23:39] <@chat.bot> I think he is.
[23:39] * Simon Kerrick goes over to a Terminal.
[23:39] * @chat.bot sees the look on his face.
[23:39] <Simon Kerrick> Command: Define "MYthos."

[23:41] < King Obsidian> .......
[23:41] <Simon Kerrick> Will YOU tell me whether you believe the Time Lords have a vault or place where people can become immortal?
[23:42] <@The Intern> <_<
[23:42] * Simon Kerrick addresses the Gestalt entity.
[23:42] * @The Intern takes the body away.
[23:42] * with a hiss the mercurians emerge from all orafices.
[23:42] *** One Mercurian [user001.securenet.05@mizunomics.co.jp] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[23:42] <@spiritflame> konbanwa one mercurian
[23:43] * Matsuo Shin glances over at the mercurian
[23:43] <One Mercurian> ♦ Your lack of a satisfactory answer stems from the phrasing of the question.
[23:43] <One Mercurian> ♦ The Time Lords do not see it as a place to become immortal.
[23:43] <One Mercurian> ♦ They see it as a graveyard.
[23:43] <Masked Figure> Do not awnser his questions
[23:43] <One Mercurian> ♦ We will answer as we desire.
[23:44] <One Mercurian> ♦ Your concerns are irrelevant.
[23:44] < King Obsidian> .....
[23:44] <Simon Kerrick> Alright.
[23:44] * One Mercurian is now known as Ambassador Mercury
[23:45] * Simon Kerrick considers whether he wants to ask further questions, and be blatantly hypocritical since he hates them knowing about him. "....."
[23:45] <Simon Kerrick> Okay--question one of several...
[23:45] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ proceed
[23:45] <Simon Kerrick> Does this place have a physical location?
[23:45] <Simon Kerrick> And if so, can it be moved?

[23:46] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ specificity. define what "place" you refer to.
[23:47] <Simon Kerrick> Wherever the folk of Gallifrey keep their...
[23:47] <Simon Kerrick> I realize I don't know enought to ask you the right questions.
[23:47] * Simon Kerrick looks at Ambassador Mercuy.
[23:47] *** Ambassador Mercuy is your average everyday Ambassador Mercuy
[23:48] * Simon Kerrick looks at Ambassador Mercury.
[23:48] *** Ambassador Mercury is

[23:48] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ The place you refer to is known as the Amplified Pantropic Matrix.
[23:48] <@The Intern> Stop!
[23:48] * Simon Kerrick grins.
[23:48] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ Your objections are... irrelevant.
[23:48] <Simon Kerrick> It IS a physical place?
[23:48] <Simon Kerrick> Could it be moved?
[23:48] <Matsuo Shin> ....what have you done
[23:49] <Simon Kerrick> Well, actually... I am curious why you want them to stop, Intern.
[23:49] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ The Housing of the AP Matrix is on Gallifrey under the Panopticon.
[23:49] <David O`Cain> We're dead.
[23:49] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ It is possible, though incredibly improbable that it can be moved.
[23:49] <Simon Kerrick> On gallifrey... under panopticon.
[23:49] <Simon Kerrick> Wait, why?
[23:50] <Simon Kerrick> WHY is her saying these words the end of the world?
[23:50] <Simon Kerrick> I just don't understand.
[23:50] * Simon Kerrick turns quickly to the figure.
[23:50] <Simon Kerrick> Is talking about this making the Tyrant stronger?
[23:50] <Simon Kerrick> Does thinking or perceiving or conversing about the Tyrant make her stronger? If you do not know for sure, does what you know suggest that it does?
[23:51] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ If the Tyrant is observed.
[23:51] <Matsuo Shin> why do you want the matrix
[23:51] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ if the Tyrant is engaged.
[23:51] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ it will become stronger.
[23:51] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ If it is named... it will be free.
[23:52] <Simon Kerrick> Does it have to be by a living being, or simply a being capable of perception and one that is sapient?
[23:52] <Simon Kerrick> Could ants make it stronger?
[23:52] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ It requires engagement by a sentient mind.
[23:52] <Simon Kerrick> Oooooh, she's f[BLEEP]ked now.
[23:52] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ Advice.
[23:52] <Simon Kerrick> Excellent, now we are getting somewhere.
[23:52] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ Do not seek it.
[23:52] <Simon Kerrick> Yes?
[23:53] <Simon Kerrick> ....why?
[23:53] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ The Tyrant locked in the AP NEt
[23:53] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ is to the Tyrant of Jupiter
[23:53] <Ambassador Mercury> ♦ As those Above you are to you.
[23:53] <Simon Kerrick> What, just opening whatever it is would.........................
[23:53] * with a hiss, the mercurians disperse
[23:54] <Simon Kerrick> Okay, new plans.
[23:55] <Simon Kerrick> There has got to ....be.... a.... way....
[23:55] <Simon Kerrick> Where is Sakura April, right now?
[23:55] * @chat.bot is now known as Chateaux Concierge
[23:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> re.bot has left the convo
[23:55] * @Chateaux Concierge checks
[23:55] <Simon Kerrick> I feel better already!
[23:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...........................................................
[23:56] * @Chateaux Concierge cants her head and rechecks
[23:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> Bo f[BLEEP]king way.
[23:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^no
[23:56] <Matsuo Shin> ...I have a bad feeling
[23:56] <@The Intern> What is it?
[23:56] <Matsuo Shin> what is it?
[23:56] <David O`Cain> What, Chateaux?
[23:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> A Jovian-class planet on the other side of the galaxy that looks like a Sanrio factory vomited on it
[23:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Lots of cute, nigh-immortal things.
[23:57] <Matsuo Shin> .....
[23:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Like Holl Kitties but with lasers out of their mouths
[23:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^Hello
[23:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> She is slowly waging an exterminatus.
[23:57] <Simon Kerrick> So she's butchering them.
[23:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Wel they'r efighting back pretty well.
[23:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> But at this rate she won't be done for six months.
[23:58] <Simon Kerrick> Well, I'm sure you all will not interfere, but I don't need HER.
[23:58] <Simon Kerrick> I want to know how she stopped magic?
[23:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> Two means
[23:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> one, she had anti-magic runes etched on her body
[23:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> that would disrupt any magic getting near her
[23:58] <Simon Kerrick> Stop.
[23:58] <Simon Kerrick> Now, could those runes be applied to any object?
[23:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> the other, newer way is her body is wholly made of Nth...
[23:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah.
[23:59] <Simon Kerrick> Alright.
[23:59] <Simon Kerrick> Who made them, where is this person, what were the runes wrought from, and do you have a bunch of rockets?
[23:59] <Simon Kerrick> Last questioin is the least important.
[00:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> mmm.....
[00:01] <Simon Kerrick> How long did it take to get those runes on her body?
[00:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> That is a good question.
[00:01] <Simon Kerrick> Gah, I bet she murdered them "just in case."
[00:01] <Simon Kerrick> Or for funsies.
[00:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> IIRC it took a few days of quasi-erotic attention by someone.
[00:02] <Simon Kerrick> Whom?
[00:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> And I do think she did
[00:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> To prevent others from developing a counter.
[00:02] <Simon Kerrick> Quasi-erotic?
[00:02] <Masked Figure> I may have a flaw in it's anti-magic
[00:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> well not o put too fine a point on it
[00:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> but they cover every millimter of her body.
[00:02] <Simon Kerrick> GAH.
[00:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> In what's anti-magic?
[00:03] <Simon Kerrick> Are they effective in smaller amounts?
[00:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> Saki's
[00:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> ?
[00:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> The Silence Device isn't anti-magic.
[00:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> It eats it.
[00:03] <Simon Kerrick> Couldn't the right amount of dye get the stuff on there?
[00:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> Dye can be removed.
[00:03] <Simon Kerrick> So if... I don't suppose a device that wrecks magical objects would be of use.
[00:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> She's a rough combat grenadier
[00:04] <Simon Kerrick> No no no.
[00:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> I don't think so.
[00:04] <Simon Kerrick> I meant using dye or paint to get it onto that doom machine.
[00:04] <Masked Figure> I know.
[00:04] <Simon Kerrick> If the sigils themselves are what is magical, then we could starve it, yes?
[00:04] <Masked Figure> But it didn't eat the enchantments keeping simon moving
[00:04] <Masked Figure> Mayhap it cannot eat active enchantments.
[00:04] <Simon Kerrick> If just being there can stop magic....
[00:04] * Matsuo Shin just listens to this conversation
[00:05] <Simon Kerrick> I'm kept moving by more than---actually we will not be having this conversation, thank you.
[00:05] <Simon Kerrick> How on earth she recharging it?
[00:05] <Simon Kerrick> That is what I do not get.
[00:05] <Simon Kerrick> where is the magic and the souls coming from?
[00:06] <Simon Kerrick> It's a big bunch of nothing up there!
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> It may not be the primary power source.
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> Or
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> she may not have enough.
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> When you went around therr something seemed to give it a good snack.
[00:07] * Matsuo Shin nods
[00:07] <Simon Kerrick> I couldn't see that far.
[00:08] <Simon Kerrick> Is there ANY way to re-create those Tattoos that Sakura April had?
[00:08] <Simon Kerrick> I mean, you've been watching her for years, right?
[00:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> hmm
[00:09] <Simon Kerrick> she's surely been knocked through your walls.
[00:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> true
[00:09] <Simon Kerrick> Do we even know who put them on her?
[00:10] <Masked Figure> They would be the death of you.
[00:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> I think he wants to put them on rockets.
[00:10] <Simon Kerrick> Heh. Death.
[00:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> And shoot them into the device.
[00:10] <Masked Figure> ...
[00:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> We'd have to dig into the archives.
[00:10] <Simon Kerrick> No, I want to put paint on rockets, or some kind of bomb, and scatter them across this object in the same configuration as the runes.
[00:11] <Simon Kerrick> Because what gets close gets fried.
[00:11] <Simon Kerrick> Heck, have the bombs set off by electricity or something.
[00:11] <Simon Kerrick> If that is the attack that is easiest to use and appears certain to work, she'll use that first.
[00:12] <Simon Kerrick> She used the Silence second when I was around. It's an excellent bet she'll try the lightning first the second time.
[00:12] <Matsuo Shin> ...what about the shield
[00:12] <Simon Kerrick> What shield?
[00:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> I don't think she "used" the silence.
[00:12] < King Obsidian> ......
[00:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> My observations indicate that something set it off.
[00:12] <Masked Figure> The lighting I should be able to neturalize
[00:12] <Simon Kerrick> ............
[00:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> Did anything on your person break?
[00:13] <Simon Kerrick> Not this lightning.
[00:13] <Simon Kerrick> All but one thing did.
[00:13] <Simon Kerrick> Speaking of which, I want back what I loaned to you.
[00:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh!
[00:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes.
[00:13] * @Chateaux Concierge gives it back
[00:13] * Matsuo Shin leans against the bar
[00:13] * Simon Kerrick doesn't pick it up.
[00:13] <Simon Kerrick> Now, you are aware that ift his has been tampered with, I become the enemy of who did that, right?
[00:13] <Simon Kerrick> ...........
[00:14] * Simon Kerrick picks it up and restores it.
[00:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's been deep inside me
[00:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> So no one touched it.
[00:14] *** Simon Kerrick has placed Forked Gold and Onyx Rod in Inventory Slot: 0
[00:14] <Masked Figure> Though it twould require a vast well spring of magical energy. Once I have that I should be able to consturct a sheild that converts the crystal's energy into harmless aether
[00:14] *** Simon Kerrick has placed Forked Gold and Onyx Rod in Inventory Slot: 2
[00:15] <Yaijinden> hotttttt
[00:15] <Simon Kerrick> Hmmmm
[00:15] <Yaijinden> nnnngh
[00:15] * David O`Cain grabs another Coke at the bar
[00:15] <Matsuo Shin> ..aether?
[00:16] <David O`Cain> Hm?
[00:16] <Simon Kerrick> I want to know who put those tattoos on Sakura April.
[00:16] <Simon Kerrick> Is there ANY WAY to find out.
[00:16] <Masked Figure> Harmless ambiant energy
[00:16] <Simon Kerrick> Looking at YOU, Time Travellers.
[00:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> That will take some research.
[00:16] <@The Intern> I'll contact Lady Blyledge.
[00:17] <@The Intern> She may have more knowledge of this than I
[00:17] <Yaijinden> Due to the whole thing.
[00:17] <Yaijinden> With the thing.
[00:17] * Simon Kerrick doesnt' understand.
[00:18] <Simon Kerrick> What do you mean exactly that she didn't "Use" the Silence?
[00:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah the whole arch nemesis thing.
[00:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> I think whatever broek on you released nergy
[00:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> And that energy woek up thje device.
[00:18] <Simon Kerrick> Hmmmm, well...
[00:19] <Simon Kerrick> I didn't expect that thing to get hit with a million lightning bolts.
[00:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> Life is full of surprises.
[00:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> Like when I got hit by rei.bot and did not die
[00:21] <Yaijinden> Yeah, that was actually pretty sweet!
[00:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> I thought so too <_<

[00:29] <Simon Kerrick> Mmmmm.
[00:29] <Simon Kerrick> I sure hope you guys remember that I was useful.
[00:29] <Yaijinden> HMMMM?!
[00:29] <Simon Kerrick> Man.... what a rush.
[00:29] <Simon Kerrick> I told a Time Lord what to do and they did it!
[00:29] <Simon Kerrick> <3
[00:29] <Yaijinden> oooh
[00:33] <Yaijinden> Sweet, sweet perks of knowing what's going on.
[00:34] <Simon Kerrick> Eh, I came on board late.
[00:34] <Simon Kerrick> Nearly got killed, though.
[00:34] <Simon Kerrick> Like, DEAD dead.
[00:34] <Simon Kerrick> This doesn't bother me.
[00:34] <Simon Kerrick> I don't think I'd have to face damnation if I fell to the Silence.
[00:34] <Simon Kerrick> What a funny weapon, that can make an enemy fearless.
[00:35] <Yaijinden> The backs to the wall syndrome.
[00:35] <Simon Kerrick> It's funny
[00:36] <Simon Kerrick> If I died now... I really think I would have come out ahead in the whold thing, you know?
[00:36] <Simon Kerrick> As another being with similar.... rules, do you fear the Silence?
[00:37] <Yaijinden> Only inasmuch as it might only near-fatally-wound me instead of kill me.
[00:39] <Simon Kerrick> Mmmm.
[00:39] <Simon Kerrick> Fascinating, isn't it?
[00:40] <Simon Kerrick> You know, I think part of this fascination with it is because you and I are possibly exactly what it's probably intended to stop.
[00:41] <Yaijinden> You're exactly right on that one.
[00:41] <Yaijinden> Do you know the story of the fall of the Silver Millennium?
[00:41] <Simon Kerrick> Would you characterize what you are about to tell me as a "Mythos?"
[00:41] * Simon Kerrick looks particularly interested in that question.
[00:43] <Yaijinden> Yes and no. This is a history, but all histories have a touch of the mythos to them.
[00:44] <Yaijinden> Many moons ago...
[00:44] * Yaijinden finds a good perching place
[00:44] <Yaijinden> Long before my time. Before any history this world really remembers.
[00:46] <Yaijinden> A royal dynasty and their followers, fleeing a galaxy-spanning cataclysm, had taken refuge on the large moon of the third planet in a backwater arm of the known culture.
[00:48] <Yaijinden> Over thousands of years, they had used their advanced methods to raise the local sapient species to a level of mental and spiritual sophistication approaching their own.
[00:48] * Simon Kerrick listens.
[00:50] <Yaijinden> History remembers it as a time of peace and prosperity, with life, culture, and society scattered all across the known solar system, knowing themselves unseen and unnoticed by the great wars waged in far-off star systems.
[00:51] <Yaijinden> It was not without its problems -- what era is? But diligence and discipline kept the darkness at bay.
[00:52] <Yaijinden> Things were good enough that when a young princess of the Moon dynasty fell in love with a young prince of the Third World, their union was actually possible -- a symbol of how far the uplifed folk had come.
[00:53] <Yaijinden> But the young prince of the Third World had an admirer, highly-placed within his court, whom he was oblivious to: the Third World's highest-placed seer and magistrix. Her love for the prince was unrequited, and in the heart were the seeds of envy... which festered into jealousy.
[00:54] <Yaijinden> In time, stewing in her jealousy, she began to heed the whispers coming from the darkness that was her charge. She worked hard. She was worth having. The prince could well be hers. The prince -should- be hers. The prince wanted to be hers, but had been enchanted by the wicked folk of the Moon dynasty.
[00:55] * Simon Kerrick nods.
[00:56] <Yaijinden> So she plotted insurrection, recruiting others jealous of the Moon dynasty's prosperity -- chief among them, the prince's four generals -- and when the time was ripe, called out to a herald of the powers Beyond -- an entity known as the Metallia Force.
[00:57] <Yaijinden> An aspect of the great evil that the Moon Kingdom had fled so many eons ago, the Metallia Force heeded her call because it sought the extinguishment of the Moon Kingdom's heirs -- and the secret prize they had taken from it in their flight.
[00:58] <Yaijinden> Empowered by the Metallia Force, the sorceress raised an army of darkness and launched an attack against life. They very nearly won.
[01:00] <Simon Kerrick> And this was to get the prince?
[01:01] <Yaijinden> That was the sorceress's designs, at least in the beginning. The Metallia Force, as its payment, demanded that the sorceress secure and offer it the Moon Kingdom's greatest treasure... the Silver Imperium Crystal.
[01:01] <Yaijinden> Perhaps you've heard of the ginzuishou.
[01:02] <Simon Kerrick> Indeed.
[01:02] * David O`Cain throws the empty bottle into the recycling bin, causing the bottle to shatter
[01:03] <Yaijinden> Even with the power of the Crystal, the Moon Kingdom couldn't hold them off -- but they know that if the Metallia Force obtained it, it could well turn the tide of the war in the favor of chaos and madness.
[01:04] <Yaijinden> Subsequently, they tasked one of their greatest servants to unleash a cataclysmic weapon of mutual destruction.
[01:04] <Simon Kerrick> .......
[01:05] <Yaijinden> The Princesses of the nine worlds allowed their spirits, their Sailor Crystals, to be connected to the kharmic cycle of Earth, to perhaps reincarnate and remember the age gone past, perhaps to bring that light back into existence.
[01:05] <Simon Kerrick> So they died
[01:05] <Yaijinden> Then, the Silence was dropped.
[01:05] <Simon Kerrick> We are not looking at them.
[01:06] <Simon Kerrick> We are looking at humans who wear their spirits.
[01:06] <Yaijinden> Reincarnations, with all the baggage that implies.
[01:06] <Yaijinden> That I'll touch in in a bit.
[01:07] <Yaijinden> As the story goes, the only planet not completely scourged of life was Earth itself... but it did everything else it had intended.
[01:08] <Yaijinden> The sorceress's army was broken; the sorceress herself, her generals, and some of her strongest lieutenants escaped the worst of it, but were forced to take refuge in a dark dimension where they could lick their wounds in peace.
[01:09] <Yaijinden> What remained of the great Human cultures of the Third Planet, in the wake of the sorceress's army's depradations, were broken such that only names and ill-kept ruins survived.
[01:10] <Yaijinden> But Humanity survived, and eventually began to rebuild... and ten thousand years later, the Sailor Senshi began to reawaken.
[01:10] <Yaijinden> Which brings us to the year 1991, nearly twenty-five years ago.
[01:11] * Simon Kerrick nods.
[01:11] <Yaijinden> The story is clearly not one hundred percent factual, as we now know. The other Human civilizations were forewarned that the Silence would be coming, and removed themselves from time-space, awaiting a signal from the Moon Kingdom to return.
[01:11] <Simon Kerrick> This world has forgotten its time when it was like mine.
[01:11] <Simon Kerrick> I see that now.
[01:12] <Yaijinden> The Moon Kingdom was supposed to join them, but the acts of a saboteur kept them in the fight until it was too late.
[01:12] <Masked Figure> Does it matter?
[01:12] <Yaijinden> It absolutely does matter.
[01:13] <Yaijinden> It also absolutely doesn't matter.
[01:13] <Yaijinden> Who's asking the question?
[01:13] <Masked Figure> I was speaking to Simon
[01:13] <Masked Figure> Does it matter that the world forgot?
[01:13] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has quit IRC (I must go.)
[01:15] <Simon Kerrick> So this is that sabateur.
[01:16] <Yaijinden> Ayeps!
[01:16] * Yaijinden rolls around on the floor
[01:18] <Simon Kerrick> Sometimes, I think I have bought far too much into the ways of this world.
[01:19] <Simon Kerrick> Most people upon it would never believe that it is very similar to mine, and you couldn't have hidden that long ago
[01:19] <Simon Kerrick> This whole...
[01:19] <Simon Kerrick> Me believing and taking these supposed limitations as fact.
[01:20] <Masked Figure> They are as factual as fact that you or I are having this conversation
[01:21] <Masked Figure> We can observe them with our eyes
[01:26] <Yaijinden> The Silence broke most of what we knew of the old ways, and those who still remembered them went underground.
[01:27] <Masked Figure> But I have taken enough time from Yai's story., Please continue
[01:27] <Yaijinden> Meanwhile, to expand on an earlier thought you'd had.
[01:27] <Yaijinden> Reincarnation -- you're familiar with the notion?
[01:28] <Simon Kerrick> ....not truly
[01:29] <Simon Kerrick> I've only heard of such things, but I do believe it can be made to occur.
[01:29] <Yaijinden> Here, in this world, reincarnation -- at least in humans -- is a solid fact, and as far as we can tell it's the most common thing that happens to humans after they die.
[01:30] <Masked Figure> I will point out Prinnydom is a type of recnarnation. Not all reincarnation ends up with the person ending up HUMAN
[01:31] <Yaijinden> In fact, by two of the world's largest mythos systems, a human directly reincarnating as a human is actually really, really rare.
[01:31] <Masked Figure> It's why at least one religon doesn't eat cows, as they're very close in what they belive to be the cycle. It would be like risking eating your dead grandma or something
[01:32] <Yaijinden> I favor the Buddhist understanding, but I like it on general principle, so bias is to be expected.
[01:32] * Simon Kerrick listens.
[01:32] <Simon Kerrick> I tend to forget sometimes that to live in this world is to live in two worlds at once.
[01:32] <Simon Kerrick> One such as mine, and another very different.
[01:33] <Simon Kerrick> I want to just kick myself for swallowing whole-heartedly what was told to me about space and planets and stars.
[01:33] <Simon Kerrick> Who KNOWS what they truly are or can do?
[01:33] <Yaijinden> The funny thing about all that, though, is that what you were told -is- true. It's just the outermost layer of the onion.
[01:34] <Yaijinden> Most people are lucky to pierce the first layer.
[01:34] <Masked Figure> From a scientifac perspective those things are factual
[01:34] <Masked Figure> Stars really are a a big ball of burning gas.
[01:35] <Yaijinden> They're just not -only- burning gases.
[01:35] <Yaijinden> A reality that catches most people by surprise, and most people only get empirical observation of this reality-within-reality after they die.
[01:35] <Yaijinden> Sometimes the soul lingers for a long time after death. Sometimes it is caught and transmuted into something inhuman. For the rest, though, the kharmic wheel catches, weighs, measures, and then sends the soul onwards to whatever awaits it next.
[01:36] <Yaijinden> Another life as a fish, as a collection of algae, as a tree, as a tiger...
[01:36] <Masked Figure> A prinny.
[01:37] <Yaijinden> Which brings me to a starseed story.
[01:37] <Masked Figure> To be fair a Prinny is a half step. It's a "You f[BLEEP]ked up now earn proper reincarnation" type thing
[01:38] <Simon Kerrick> Hmph
[01:38] <Yaijinden> All life in the galaxy possesses what's called a starseed. It's a component of the soul that's generated by the sort of body it emerges in.
[01:40] <Yaijinden> Even in the most minute of life forms.
[01:41] <Yaijinden> All starseeds once came from Galaxy Cauldron, the center of the galaxy, the source of life and living.
[01:42] <Simon Kerrick> Well, that answers the question of whether I have one.
[01:43] <Yaijinden> It'd surprise me if it wasn't in your phylactery.
[01:43] <Yaijinden> But you, like me, don't actually have one. Nor would Chateaux, for that matter.
[01:44] <Yaijinden> -- no, TARDISes are alive. It's just probably not any form I've seen.
[01:44] <Simon Kerrick> Why would I have one?
[01:44] <Simon Kerrick> I'm not born in this world?
[01:44] <Simon Kerrick> I'm utterly not of it.
[01:44] * Masked Figure suddenly looks disturbed for a moment
[01:45] <Yaijinden> Probably not in a familiar form, but you have a soul and were at least once human. There's something analagous to it there somewhere, I bet.
[01:47] <Yaijinden> Anyhoo.
[01:48] <Simon Kerrick> ...Yeah, maybe.
[01:48] <Simon Kerrick> They DO say that there is vast power stored within Souls. Could that be it?
[01:48] <Simon Kerrick> Mmmm, not likely to find a concrete answer there.
[01:48] <Yaijinden> Yes and no.
[01:48] <Yaijinden> Your average starseed is like a cog in a great machine.
[01:49] <Yaijinden> Repurposable, but not anything worth writing home about without the rest of the soul.
[01:49] <Yaijinden> Among starseeds, though, there are starseeds... and there are Sailor Crystals.
[01:49] <Yaijinden> A diamond in a desert.
[01:50] <Yaijinden> A Sailor Crystal will only be attracted to a being whose meta-physiology can house it, but it comes with a hell of a lot of perks.
[01:51] <Yaijinden> The starseed is a cog. A Sailor Crystal unto an entire engine.
[01:51] <Simon Kerrick> Mmmm
[01:51] <Simon Kerrick> I will consider this at length, Yaijinden. Thank you.
[01:51] <Yaijinden> Yar!

[02:00] <Yaijinden> It's entertainingly refreshing to have these kinds of chats with him.
[02:04] * Masked Figure shrugs
[02:06] <Yaijinden> Whatever his reflexes and predispositions, he seeks clarity.
[02:44] <Yaijinden> And I, being me, can't help but respect that.
[02:44] <Yaijinden> And desire to further it.
[02:45] <Yaijinden> Tweet beedle.
[02:45] <Masked Figure> Does he really?
[02:46] <Masked Figure> From what I see I he tries to bend the world to preconcived notions and is upset when told he is wrong
[03:01] <Yaijinden> That's more because he wants to be right.
[03:01] <Yaijinden> Has a lot invested in being right.
[03:01] <Yaijinden> Telling him he's not right veers close to being a personal attack.
[03:02] <Yaijinden> Give him a chance to get his ego out of the matter and he can get it done.
[03:02] <Yaijinden> I think most people underestimate the cosmos he came from.
[06:33] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Because won't explain for being so bloody evasive.
[06:33] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^he won't
[06:33] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Even when we desperately needed to know more.

[11:23] <Kouri_Princess> Did you set her up?
[11:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That would be Catriona
[11:24] <Kouri_Princess> So you didn't lead her into admitting it for the purpose of revealing her to Neptune?
[11:27] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh I gave her a nudge.
[11:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> She needs to learn to play it cooler.
[11:29] <Kouri_Princess> You realize that she's a mother of twins...and if Neptune drowns her it will mean war?

[12:13] <Kouri_Princess> Or to let her keep belching
[12:13] <Kouri_Princess> hmmmm
[12:51] <Vic> something..going on here?
[12:51] *** Vic has joined #suburbansenshi2
[12:51] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa vic
[12:58] <Kouri_Princess> Only that your dear sister-in-law hexed Neptune and gave her bad caviar last night as a prank
[13:00] <Vic> huh fun
[13:00] * Vic looks in the mirror.
[13:00] *** Vic is tall young woman standing at 6'2 with long blond hair tied in a long pony tail, sharp blue eyes and an athletic build. She is the future version of Victoria.
Her image Song is: .
[13:00] * Vic lounges on the Q sofa
[13:19] <Vic> huh quiet

[13:38] <Vic> ...that's awesome


[13:41] <Vic> ................
[14:15] <Anthony Suthers> I call it "Festive Frieza"
[14:15] <Anthony Suthers> ^^
[14:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...
[14:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The lipstick is too dark for Frieza.
[14:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Also that's way too manly for frieza
[14:19] *** I just saw a promo for this guy. Silhoutted against the sun, looking like a full dragon with nunchicks and DUBSTEP background
[14:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Also did I actually see Anthony there
[14:27] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> <_<
[14:27] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte checks her glasses
[14:40] * Anthony Suthers was just a smudge!
[14:41] <Kouri_Princess> ..................
[14:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> hnn
[14:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> How odd.
[14:41] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte wipes them down
[14:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> You odn't even need to wear glasses.
[14:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I like they way they frame my face.
[14:42] * Chiyoko Shinkaze sweeps up the lobby a bit
[14:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> 'Sides, they're a family heirloom.
[14:42] <Kouri_Princess> Glasses are a family heirloom?
[14:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes.
[14:43] <Kouri_Princess> odd
[14:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Why odd?
[14:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> These go back to the 1800s and were worn by The Lady Elizabeth Peinforte.
[14:44] <Kouri_Princess> When I hear "family heirloom" i think of a blade, or a clock or a mirror or some other piece of furniture
[14:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mmm.
[14:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What of say a locket?
[14:45] <Kouri_Princess> Yes, those can be family heirlooms as can most other pieces of jewelry
[14:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Glasses are a fashion accessory as well.
[14:46] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Look at the craftsmanship.
[14:46] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte takes off her glasses
[14:46] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Gold.
[14:46] <Kouri_Princess> ....
[14:46] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Real gold, not some alloy.
[14:46] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Silver inlays on the stems.
[14:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Burnished wood earpieces.
[14:47] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte lets her look it over
[14:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's not a cheap pair from LensCrafters.
[14:48] <Kouri_Princess> hm....
[14:49] <Kouri_Princess> you have a point
[14:49] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte puts them back on
[14:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> They may be commodity items now but that wasn't always the case.
[15:05] * Kouri_Princess nibbles on a scone

[09:51] *** Kouri_Princess [Ki_hime@kouripalace.net] has quit IRC

[11:58] <Zotia> The things some people will do....
[12:27] * Kailey Sunrise sits n' meditates under th' bonsai tree
[12:27] * @The Intern is beginning to pull together her plans for the attack on Chaldene
[13:04] <Kailey Sunrise> How's that goin', Miss Intern?
[13:04] <@The Intern> Slowly.
[13:05] * Matsuo Shin is silently looking over a few things
[13:05] <Matsuo Shin> Intern..would it be possible to create small shields for each of us based off that code?
[13:06] <@The Intern> For camouflage? More than likely.
[13:19] <Matsuo Shin> I also meant the energy shield
[13:19] <Matsuo Shin> the 20 second one
[13:21] <@The Intern> possibly...
[13:21] * @The Intern is getting distracted
[13:22] <@The Intern> There seems to be a small spatial anomaly openng up
[13:22] <Matsuo Shin> hm?
[13:22] * Matsuo Shin goes to look
[13:24] <@The Intern> Not enough clear readings on it right noew.
[13:30] <Matsuo Shin> intern tell me one thing
[13:30] <@The Intern> yes?
[13:32] <Matsuo Shin> are you afraid
[13:34] <@The Intern> Yes.
[13:35] <Matsuo Shin> me too
[13:41] <@The Intern> The Silence device... is lifting off the moon and going into an orbital pattern.
[13:43] <Matsuo Shin> ................
[13:56] * @The Intern gets the latest report

[13:56] *** ignore the times until event starts
[13:56] <@The Intern> Basically it looks like there is a spatial anomaly opening that heads right for Sag 0 star.
[13:57] <@The Intern> The Silence Device is slowly orbiting Chaldene, and we assume once it enter line-of-sight with the anomaly, it will be transported to the cauldron.
[13:58] <@The Intern> Additionally, we've calculated that the orbital lightning barrage can be blocked by Chaldene itself.
[13:58] <Matsuo Shin> .............................we need to stop this
[13:58] <@The Intern> While th ebeam might just destroy the moon, that would interfere with the Silence Device's orbital trajecotry
[13:58] <@The Intern> Thus we caculate a two hour window
[13:59] <@The Intern> Where we will be safe from the beam and where the device will not be in line with the anomaly.
[13:59] <@The Intern> That will be our opportunity to strike
[13:59] * Matsuo Shin nods
[14:03] <Matsuo Shin> (( lol does this mean sailor Chaldene will be no more XD ))
[14:04] *** nah we're not trying toi destroy the moon
[14:04] *** though....
[14:04] *** that *is* one viable means of stopping this. by blowing up the moon the silence device would get caught in jupiter's gravity well
[14:04] *** but there might be consequences there~
[14:05] *** i'm going tro be very open to out of the box solutions
[14:06] <Matsuo Shin> hmm...
[14:06] <Matsuo Shin> do we know how powerful her sensors are?
[14:09] <@The Intern> No.
[14:09] <Matsuo Shin> hm
[14:09] <Matsuo Shin> I was wondering if it was possible to hide inthe shadow ofthe moon
[14:12] <@The Intern> Hmm.
[14:12] <@The Intern> I had an idea.
[14:13] <Matsuo Shin> hm?
[14:13] <@The Intern> Transport in and Detonate a surplus Warp Core
[14:13] <@The Intern> send out a huge shockwave of energy wthat would blind all sensors in the secotr
[14:13] <Matsuo Shin> hm..what's the risk involved?
[14:13] <@The Intern> ^secotr
[14:14] <@The Intern> 1 - they may have other sensors
[14:14] <@The Intern> 2 - it may knock the silence device into the line of sight faster
[14:14] <Matsuo Shin> tch....
[14:14] <@The Intern> 3 - our sensors would be qually blinded.
[14:14] <@The Intern> ^euqally
[14:19] <Matsuo Shin> hm....
[14:20] <Matsuo Shin> (( aka a bit of a mutara nebula, huh? ))
[14:20] *** yessss
[14:21] *** bbl i feel the need to nap
[16:00] * Matsuo Shin studies silently over the plans
[16:35] *** Daini Felinus has joined #suburbansenshi2

[16:36] * Daini Felinus walks in with a lady in white "we're here^^"
[16:36] <Matsuo Shin> hm?
[16:36] * Matsuo Shin looks up
[16:36] <Woman in white> Thank you child. you are most kind.
[16:37] <Matsuo Shin> and you are
[16:37] <Matsuo Shin> ?
[16:37] <Daini Felinus> no pwoblem^^ hi hi massu niikoon!
[16:38] <Woman in white> Ataria. I'm here to check on the twins.
[16:38] <Matsuo Shin> hello Daini
[16:38] * Matsuo Shin nods
[16:38] <Daini Felinus> it's ok she's good^^
[16:41] * Woman in white bows gracefully and heads up the stairs producing a white clipboard "I shall return"
[16:41] * Daini Felinus runs over and hugs Matsuo^^
[16:41] * Matsuo Shin smiles and hugs daini
[16:43] <Matsuo Shin> have you be ok?
[16:44] <Daini Felinus> im ok.. sometimes im sad... but im ok
[16:45] <Matsuo Shin> don't be too sad
[16:47] * Daini Felinus nods "i try.i dont want mommy to worry. are yuh ok?"
[16:49] <Matsuo Shin> she will need you
[16:51] <Daini Felinus> i know. i hafta be strong..
[16:57] <Matsuo Shin> but don't change who you are
[16:58] * Daini Felinus pouts a bit "why does everyone keep saying that
[16:59] <Matsuo Shin> hm?
[17:00] <Daini Felinus> everyone says not to change....
[17:00] <Daini Felinus> but its hard when my sisser is gone.
[17:01] <Matsuo Shin> I know..
[17:02] <Daini Felinus> i dunno what to think.
[17:03] <Matsuo Shin> you will find your answer
[17:05] * Daini Felinus blinks
[17:10] * Matsuo Shin smiles
[17:14] * Daini Felinus looks around and scrunches her face "i should go ask chiyo chan to cook something.."
[17:15] * Matsuo Shin nods
[17:15] * Daini Felinus waves and heads to the kitchen
[17:15] * Daini Felinus is away: bye bye
[17:20] * Kailey Sunrise is watchin' New Japan Pro Wrestlin' G1 Climax Block B
[17:29] * Matsuo Shin is being all moody and grim
[17:32] * @Chateaux Concierge changes topic to `THURSDAY NIGHT @ 8: CBT in SS# : RAID ON CHALDENE`
[17:33] * @The Intern changes topic to `THURSDAY NIGHT @ 8: CBT in SS# : RAID ON CHALDENE (Clever plot ideas tonight excepted)`
[17:34] *** So if we can think of a good way to deal with this thing tonight, I'm not opposed to breaking s[BLEEP]t XD
[17:36] <@The Intern> Hmm that information appears to be time-lensed.... so that exact configuration does not occur until tomorrow nigh.
[17:40] <Matsuo Shin> hm?
[17:40] <@The Intern> Well you know of gravitational lensing, yes?
[17:41] <@The Intern> when a strong gravitational source causes light from a distant object to be refracted into multiple images?

[17:42] * @The Intern displays a chart
[17:42] <@The Intern> Similarly, temporal information can be lensed.
[17:43] <Kailey Sunrise> ....
[17:43] <Kailey Sunrise> wouldn't that means some big time thang was in th' way?
[17:43] <@The Intern> .... very Astute, Kailey.
[17:44] <Matsuo Shin> ..any idea what that is?
[17:44] <@The Intern> Yes, some fairly complex spacetime event seems to intersect this timeline of events.
[17:44] <@The Intern> Nothing we can get a read on now.
[17:44] <@The Intern> So for the moment we can but focus on the Silence Device.
[17:45] <Matsuo Shin> ..maybe....it's possibilities
[17:46] <@The Intern> Hmm?
[17:47] <Matsuo Shin> ...perhaps
[17:48] <Matsuo Shin> what is going to happen is SO massive in history
[17:48] <Matsuo Shin> that it's..causing a slight time disruption
[17:48] <Matsuo Shin> like a turning point
[17:49] * @The Intern swears a little at that.
[17:49] <@The Intern> ^sweats
[17:50] * @The Intern and possibly swears, too.
[17:50] <@The Intern> If that's the case...
[17:50] * @The Intern charts divergence from 1337 prime
[17:51] <@The Intern> We've already diverged very significantly...
[17:57] <Matsuo Shin> ..which means there's no going back
[17:57] <@The Intern> More than that...
[17:57] <@The Intern> I wonder how far afield things can go.
[18:01] <Matsuo Shin> ..what do you mean
[18:03] <@The Intern> Don't mind me, just thinking out loud.

[18:11] <@The Intern> I don't have a definitive statement to make...
[18:11] <@The Intern> just... what do you call it? A "hunch"?
[18:22] * Matsuo Shin nods
[18:34] <Matsuo Shin> I think that's the proper term
[18:36] *** bbl dinner
