Session Start: Mon Jan 07 13:57:42 2008 Session Ident: #VCB [19:31:06] * Vice City Blues. [19:32:45] * The day? night? ... it's hard to tell, having been underground the whole day so far... picks back up with Petronella in a sling, an Enforcer defeated, and another husk of an armlet in the groups possession. [19:33:47] * As well as a spiffy, somewhat archaic, somewhat slow, but fully functional tram of their very own to traverse said underground with. [19:34:10] * Start. 03[19:34:18] * NPC1 is now known as WomanInBlack 01[19:35:13] I wonder if we have long before the next attack 06[19:35:47] * Noah grins at the helm of the tram - do trams have helms? never mind - and asks with false energy, "Where to, now, ladies?" 06[19:36:48] * Tetsuko looks over the map [19:38:13] I'm thinking out. :D 06[19:39:23] * WomanInBlack frowns. "We have not yet visited all the new locations." [19:40:06] Let's start at the first one and stop when we find a way out then, hmm? [19:40:39] "New locations"? *looks puzzled* [19:40:50] The map of the underground. [19:40:54] Maybe something to do with that map of unknown locations? [19:41:04] It covers more than the public map. [19:41:37] At one of these previously unmapped locations, we've found supplies, trams, and.... [pause] the Core. 01[19:42:40] What sorts of supplies might we find? [19:43:46] Food that's realer than what I can make, maybe. [19:44:01] And other supplies. [19:44:09] I think it's worth a shot. [19:44:32] It's possible that one of these as yet unvisisted locations may be an exit. 06[19:44:56] * WomanInBlack pauses, and frowns. "But likely not safe, if the Core knows we're down here now." 01[19:44:59] I see [19:45:13] My question is, what alternative do we have? 02[19:46:54] * Noah (Segev_Stor@67-43-246-250-cablemodem-roll.fidnet.com) Quit (Ping timeout) 03[19:52:27] * Noah (Segev_Stor@67-43-246-250-cablemodem-roll.fidnet.com) has joined #VCB [19:53:44] Noah had mentioned the skies. *the frown deepens* But that's far too easy, and too obvious, for me to trust that option. 01[19:55:16] Skies? [19:55:55] We fly out. Like we did when we were skydiving. [19:56:12] We flew out over the walls, and this photographer was taking our picture. ...he looked too real, too. 01[19:56:33] Aa. I see. [19:57:42] Yeah, but they know where we are. How are we going to get a plane? [19:58:37] A real one. 06[20:01:07] * WomanInBlack suddenly blinks. "How did you arrive?" [20:01:19] A bus tram thing. [20:01:42] I had a plane to the island. Real posh. ...stole my Dad's invitation. [20:01:53] How did you get inside the City, the walls? [20:01:59] We walked? 06[20:02:35] * WomanInBlack frowns. "But the walls are solid." 01[20:03:01] Maybe there was an opening [20:03:34] Opening? 06[20:03:57] * WomanInBlack frowns, adopting a confused look momentarilly. [20:04:29] There was a gate. ...I think I can guide you back there. I remember the way from there to the hotel. Tetsuko and I walked together. 01[20:04:36] Yes. I rode with him [20:05:28] Yeah, and I was there too! 06[20:05:38] * WomanInBlack stands up, and walks over to Noah - gently grabbing one of his wrists with her good arm. 06[20:06:06] * Noah lets her, looking puzzled. "What is it, Petronella?" [20:06:14] Bob was there also, but we don't talk about him. 06[20:06:28] * Navi looks over to Bob, then back to the rest of the party. 06[20:06:44] * Noah has never read Casey and Andy, so doesn't get that reference. 01[20:06:48] Bob... ? 06[20:07:08] * WomanInBlack pauses, and her eyes narrow. [20:07:15] Just.... Man, you guys can't take a joke, can you? 01[20:07:22] Oh. A joke. 01[20:07:26] Petronella, what's wrong? [20:07:41] I .... will not wear one, again, but, as I am technically an Enforced, I can still use them to feel things out. [20:07:54] (Enforcer*) [20:08:30] First. There's a timer on the gate. It opens every seven days. [20:09:02] If we don't find a way out if four days.... *pause* if we survive that long, that's an exit. 06[20:09:09] * Navi nods. [20:09:14] Second.... 06[20:09:21] * WomanInBlack looks at Navi. [20:09:31] Why are you looking at me? [20:09:40] The Core has evolved the existing Enforcers. [20:10:22] Can we trick the clock? [20:10:30] I do not know. [20:10:40] Evolved? Whatdya mean? 06[20:11:44] * Tetsuko frowns 06[20:11:44] * WomanInBlack shakes her head. "I don't know the details. Just that... when you defeated the green enforcere, it remolded the existing Enforcers, to something stronger." [20:12:27] Hah. It's afriad. [20:12:28] I am not sure how you defeated the previous one, but I fear you will not be able to do the same thing again. [20:14:01] Oh that? I just neutralized the polarity of the electron flow. 06[20:14:21] * WomanInBlack pauses. "If I had been wearing that, I would have been evolved with the rest of them." [20:14:49] Wouldn't that have been bad? [20:15:10] ...alright, put the bloody thing on. It didn't do a darn thing to me, and giving you back some semblance of power would be useful. I... I don't want you hurt like that again. 06[20:15:28] * WomanInBlack steps back. "I refuse." [20:15:41] Why? [20:15:54] I know what it has done, what I have done with it. 01[20:16:15] This one is not yours. It is Green's. 06[20:16:25] * WomanInBlack frowns. "I still refuse." [20:18:14] But ... *sigh* alright. [20:18:25] Think we can make it "upgrade" me next time it tries? 01[20:18:37] I will respect your wishes for now, but using this properly may set up a chain of events that may lead to the fall of the Core. 06[20:18:42] * Noah looks at Tetsuko. "Or anybody else?" [20:19:02] You are not an Enforcer, Noah. [20:19:17] You're real, and remembered. [20:20:10] And so will you be. [20:20:22] And the other Enforcers, if we don't have to destroy them to get away. 06[20:22:17] * WomanInBlack merely nods, flatly. [20:22:45] 'Tricking the clock', as you put it, may be the safest option to pursue. [20:22:47] ...sorry. [20:23:00] Cool. Let's try it, then! [20:23:04] How do they determine time here? [20:23:55] The Core does not control time, though it can control many other aspects of the reality here if it so wished. [20:38:21] <`> And it just ended here. Session Close: Mon Jan 07 21:00:08 2008
