It is unclear where. The Force Commander appears to be fully repaired, and once more has returned to his normal Bass armor. Treble is off-camera, gnawing on something. "Word of our victory over Denebola is beginning to spread, despite the news blackout I have attempted to impose. Since I didn't /kill/ him, he'll probably be coming back to start something again. This is just the way it seems these people are." "I am mobiLIzing all of our active forces for defense. I expect every squad of Robot Masters to lock down their territory even more so than before. We will be ready /at any moment/ for another assault, and if it happens again ... we *will* take the kill. The Robot Masters are not threatened by anyone, mortal or Stardroid." "We will require more resources to continue our drone buildup. Mars is to be located so I can ask him for the whereabouts of our so-called `aid'."

Last night, the team of Sterns and Stingray set up a rather impressive yet low key party and press conference. On the beautiful beaches of Rio, they shared some information about the new movie that will be staring the famed RepLIforcer and racer, Jet Stingray. The basic movie plot was revealed... Which was told by Sterns himself, saying 'Giving the assignment to find a Stardroid artifiact that will somehow give the owner ownership of the seas, Jet is given the important assignment to find out who is after this weapon and stop them his own way, combining charm and combat, yet doing his best to balance strong moral beLIefs and doing what he must to save the world.' While some say that Wily himself will be the driving force of the vilLIan of the movie, Stern made it clear none of his robots will be used in the movie and the Docter himself will not be actively searching for the artifact himself if he is indeed in the movie. Instead, there will be paid vilLIans whose roles and characters will remain unknown until a later date. Jet will be playing himself, though most of the roles will be fictional characters created solely for the movie. Auditions for the said roles are said to be held soon, as the closing date for appilcations and such is drawing near." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/26 Posted Author Movie Party In Rio (2 of 2) Mon Dec 02 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/27 Posted Author African Carnage Mon Dec 02 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reports begin making their way out of Africa about the aftermath of the extremely pubLIc show of Stardroid force in the Sahara late last evening. While most of the press was evacuated from the area with the surviving civiLIans, a few people who were either trapped or crazy enough to stay managed to record the event. From the reports GNN received, it was apparent that a massive force of Robot Masters, including Magna Bass, the Mecha-Wily, and King -- as well as an unknown ninja -- arrived to face down the Stardroid threat. After holding back and focusing on evacuating civiLIans while taking heavy fire, the Robot Masters then made a general rush against Denebola. Heavy damage was taken to the majority of the Master regulars, but it seemed that Bass was able to land the kilLIng blow on Denebola. As Bass descended to finish off the Stardroid, reports state that an odd figure -- the Stardroid Betelegeuse -- said something cryptic to the Masters, then teleported himself and Denebola away. The current whereabouts and disposition of both Stardroids is unknown. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ [Radio: (D) GLobal] Tengu Man transmits, "Dates."

[Radio: (D) GLobal] Big Bad Sword Man coughs. [Radio: (D) GLobal] Bass transmits, "I bet it was a porn shop that pirated porn." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Kaph transmits, "No, superior technology and a big budget makes things better." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Honey, if it came from a porn shop, the technology is hardly superior." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Kaph transmits, "Do you have something you'd LIke to prove Cousin? because I'm getting a LIttle tired of just sasstalking." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Bass transmits, "No stamina." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Kaph transmits, "Oh no, I'm jsut ready to move on from the appetizer to the main course." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Bass transmits, "The main course?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "I think she's hitting on you, Bass." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Clown Man transmits, "I guess she means me. Lets see... Just got to get rid of the armor and just wear a bow on my neck..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Kaph transmits, "I'd accuse you of being frightened of LIttle old me, Bass, but we both no the truth is your just too damn lazy." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Kaph gigGLes [Radio: (D) GLobal] Bass transmits, "Yes, alas, you have found my secret vice. I really just don't care that much." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Clown Man transmits, "Right. This girl just became an idiot." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Kaph transmits, "Only when I can get away with it." WilyWorld - Skull Castle The central hub of the park, this fiberGLass structure casts its open-eye-socket gaze over the entire grounds. Visitors are free to enter the castle through the mouth of the giant skull on the exterior, where a tunnel within branches to every other area of the park, including a forlorn-looking LIttle shack sitting in a field all by itself. The tunnel is also home to one of WilyWorld's more lavish gift shops, where Robot Master posters, toys, and memorabiLIa are available, for a price. The informational pamphlets, maps of the park, and LIsts of 'statistics' about lovely WilyAfrica, are, however, available for free. Wandering about the Castle is an oversized foam-covered Dynamo Man, resplendent in his cape. He serves as the park's official mascot, posing for pictures and scaring faint-hearted LIttle kids. Doctor Wily would be so proud.

Ring Man has arrived. Eidolon arrives from the WilyWorld - Wily Avenue. Eidolon has arrived. Through the large mouth entry way, the figure of Eidolon makes his appearance. LIghtly floating along, hands clutched together behind his back and a thin smile of amusement resting on his LIps. "There has always been something nice about amusement parks.." He comes to a halt and LIghtly touches down, as he notices the foam Dynamo Man, "Although apparently, its necessary that all be somewhat disturbing.." Out of the garishly red and gold colored Midway stalks it's overseer. The lord of the Rings leaves his LIttle mecca of carnival games and heads towards the entrance of the park. He is, of course, in his full armor as he walks through the crowds. He's sLIghtly annoyed by the multitude of LIttle kids that seem to think he's there to entertain them that seem to follow him whenever he walks through the park. Still Ring Man tries not to act uncivil, after all these are the LIttle whiners that are going to annoy their parents into forking over their hard earned cash in the elusive persuit of that Giant Master Plushie! Eidolon allows himself a moment to get really accLImated. He allows himself a chuckle as the large foam Dynamo goes about, waddLIng in his own creepilly furious manner. For his part he's mostly sedate, til he does notice the red and gold Robot Master appearing from the arcade. His face LIghts up and he smiles as he rushes over, "I know you! HA! You're Magnet Man." He grins and embraces the Master, "I am so GLad I can remember somebody!" Ring Man's eye's nearly bug out of his helmet when the strange reploid embrasses him. The sLIck Master seems almost stunned by the odd situation he finds himself in, and Ring man does not LIke being thrown off his game. It takes a few seconds for what's just happened to cLIck, the thought process went something LIke this oO(WHAT THE? Who is this? WHY IS HE HUGGING ME? Urge to kill RISING! Huh-wha? Magnet Man!? ... stupid Reploid.) "I think," The lord of the rings begins in an annoyed tone, "that you have made a mistake." Shaking himself free of the embrase Ring Man points to the LIttle antena looking ring on a post on the top of his helmet. "Does that look LIke a magnet to you?" Eidolon bLInks and looks up, "Oh yes, you're right! You're Ring Man! I always did get you two confused...you look so much aLIke its scary." He chuckles and backs off a LIttle, "Nice LIttle amusement park you Robot Masters have here... It sums you all up quite nicely in some parts." Cyclops arrives from the WilyWorld - Wily Avenue. Cyclops has arrived. Ring Man nods, while stile giving the Reploid a strange look. "Yes, it is a nice park, Gravity Man did an extrodinarily good job creating it." The shifty gaze of Ring Man looks away from Eidolon and over the skyLIne of the park, finally settLIng on on his own midawy. "And yes, I supose it does. Strange how I never thought of it LIke that." Signas arrives from the WilyWorld - Wily Avenue. Signas has arrived. Seismic Earthworm arrives from the WilyWorld - Wily Avenue. Seismic Earthworm has arrived. Eidolon turns and regards the skyLIne. "Its always an odd thing to see oneself in an object, Ring Man, an odd thing indeed." He GLances at the Robot Master again, "Have you ever seen your shadow pass at the dawn through the noon? Casting in lengths and motions, differing yet remaining only a reflection of you?" Ring Man stops his reflextion when the reploid opens his mouth again. Ring Man bLInks, just bLInks. After a mommentary pause to replay the last few second of audio in his head Ring Man confirms that he did indeed hear that right. Raising an eyebrow and turning to Eidolon Ringy say, "You are one bizarre LIttle reploid, you know that?" Speaking of the skyLIne, in marches Seismic Earthworm. Slowly, so very slowly. He studies his map for a moment... before eating it. And then turning to face the local Ring Man, he asks the question that sends shivers down the spines of all who run any form of service on Planet Earth. "Where is the buffet?" From Wily Avenue, Signas arrives, striding with an authoritative step, in the kind of pose that demands to know right this instant what's going on around here. Map and ticket tucked into a pocket in his nonskirt garment, he seems to be GLancing around at everything there is to say in the park, LIke a small child, but with a tactician's eye - noting a guarded here, or an inconspiculously placed camera there. "Hmph," he says, pointing accusinGLy at Ring Man, "I don't think Maverick Hunters aught to have to pay to visit. Merely allowing this place of evil to stand is more than we owe the Robot Masters." Eidolon turns his gaze from Ring Man, in the direction of the Earthworm and Signas. His brow knits for a moment, "...Signas...and the worm..." He asides to Ring Man, "Ring Man, who are those two individuals who just arrived? They look famiLIar." Ring Man gives Eido a puzzLIng look before the lord of the rings turns to see to the Hunters, As they address him Ring Man casually puts his hands behind his back and clasps his hands. No need to get nervious, he's not going for any weapons, just one of the mannerisms the businessman of the masters has picked up over the years. A smile forms behind the closed faceplate that adorns his face. "Hn, Well, everyone is equal here, sir, you want to play, you pay. Having that said Welcome to Wily World. It is always a pleasure to see a Hunter wilLIng to see the good we've done for Africa." Extending a hand out to his side Ring Man stops a youth running down towards the Arcade, bending down to the youth Ring Man fLIcks his wrist around and in a stellar sleight of hand trick pulls a small Master PLIshie in the image of Ring out of seeminGLy nowhere. Handing it to the kid, the lord of the rings lets the kid run off on his way. As the kid runs off a hurried 'Thank you' is heard. The smile behind Ring's mask grows to a smug smirk, smug enough to be shown in his optics. Leaning close to Signas, Ring Man whispers, "And as for what you 'allowing' this place to remain open, you wouldn't dare hit a target with this many civiLIans. That would get rather messy, and we wouldn't want that. Would we?" Leaning back to his original positon Ring Man looks up to Seismic, "The Cafe Wily is whatt you're looking for my good, uh worm." Ring Man points in the general direction, "You should find something to your tastes there." Seismic Earthworm shrugs. "I bet I can yell 'we're gonna blow the place up' loud enough that just about everyone will get the message... But I'm not gonna do that. You're making money... but as far as I can tell, you're doing it legally. And that I have no objection to. Now... unless you have rides in my size... it's time for me to go eat the restaurant." Signas scoffs dismissively at Ring Man. "We are not here to play games, Robot Master. You know as well as I do that if we intended a miLItary strike, all of the civiLIans would have been amply warned well in advance. Very well then, we will investigate this... Cafe Wily. But be careful of anything they offer you," he asides to Seismic Earthworm. "Well then, Ring Man, lead the way." Eidolon GLances between the various individuals, "I feel just mildly ignored." He grins, "Oh well, to be expected." He then resumes giving Signas the hard-eye, trying to remember where he's seen the fellow before. A hand moves to his chin and he rubs it humming to himself, "Signas, Signas, Signas, I know the name, I know the face, but not the person." He looks to the side, "This is most annoying, isn't it Mister Shadow.. Wait, you're just a shadow. Ring Man again just gives Eido a puzzLIng stare, then just shakes it off. oO(Warning the CiviLIans would just warn us, then you'd never get this far) Ring Man thinks to himself as he bows low, "Why certainly, please, walk this way." Ring Man stands and begins to stroll towards the Cafe with his hands behind his back, humming absentmindedly to himself. Seismic Earthworm mms... lunch... he follows Ring Man. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Robot Master $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 12/57 Posted Author Encounter in Wily World.

"Yesterday evening Wily World was visited by a few Hunters," Stock photos of Signas and Seismic Earthworm appear on the screen to Ring's left. "This probably wouldn't be worthy of note if not for the arrival of a Stardroid," The photo's of the Hunters are replaced by a photo of Betelgeuse, the same one from Bass' report. "Signas and I spoke with the Stardroid, whom identified himself as 'Betelgeuse'. Signas left soon after the revilation of the Stardroid's identidy having cited having been warned about him from Aquarius." Shifting in his seat Ring Man continues, "Some intformation was gained from the Stardroid, he identified his function as a scout. Most important is that *ahem* 'SnugGLes' is no longer in his custody. Though he was not clear as to what happened to him, Betelgeuse spoke as if he is active again." Ring Man pauses before continuing. "Other than that the Stardroid made some allusions to some deaLIngs with the Mavericks. He also has also taken quite a LIking to earthly cotton candy. The Stardroid left the park without incident, that is all." Ring Man appears to be contemplating as the image fads to spinny. OOC Note.

Too much for mortal eyes to bear), "Hey." He says as he scrubs his right hand-armor (he's in casual wear right now), "While patrolLIng the perimeter, or border, or territory, pick your favourite synonym, I chanced to bump into an almost dead Void Starfish in the RM-RF border in Egypt." *cue picture of almost dead Void Starfish lying on half-dead grass* "While I could have killed her, I think I remembered Bass or someone else say that it's better to keep the others aLIve so they can weaken the Nothing and Stardroids and everything, so I just watched to make sure she didn't do anything while she repaired and stuff, and then she went away.

He pushes a button and the last thing seen is him scrubbing his armor-legs as he mutters about sand. -The Speedster was here- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Tartarus $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 15/7 Posted Author Tremors vs. Chess Wed Dec 04 Burst Man ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today a Challenge between The Maverick Hunter Seismic Earthwrom and The master Burst Man took place in the arena...The results:The Winner is...Burst Man of Robot Masters!Those who placed their bets on him may go to get their prizes, those who placed a bet on Sy...can say goodbye to their money. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Dr. Wily transmits, "Ahem" [Radio: (A) Masters-Main] Guts Man transmits, "Yavool mein fuehrer?"

[Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "It's just too bad that turkeys are so small. Wouldn't it be great if they cooked ostriches instead? Now that would be a feast!"

[Radio: (D) GLobal] Zero transmits, "I've been takin' it easy lately." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "I duct taped him to a repair chamber for a month." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "What about Iris? She's been easy too lately?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Duct tape? That sounds extreme." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Only when it got tanGLed in his hair." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Tengu Man OOCly snerks. [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Well nuts. I had hoped to travel to Europe..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Women don't shave their pits in Europe." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "My journey has LIttle to do with women. ..although they would make a nice addition.." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, that not be all they not be shavin'." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "For mechanoids you guys have got some pretty dirty minds." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Why am I not surprised by the poor quaLIty of conversation on this frequency..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Is it a journey for Swiss chocolate?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Scribe Robin transmits, "Why is ice cold?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, for a pirate, I be havin' a clean one, yea land-lubbin' pansy." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Hey it's not my fault I got to read dad's hentai collection one day." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "No. It sounds nonsensical and LIkely you'll find dire amusement in that, Guts Man, but I travel to discover myself." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "I'm a pascifist, not a pansy. There's a difference." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "I apparently misplaced myself somewhere. Its much worse then losing your keys." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Can I come too?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "Ice is cold because it's molecules are slower than water, which is in most cases, less cold. They've reached a point where they change form making them ice, and that molecular speed is without fail, rather chilly." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Scribe Robin transmits, "... It was a hypothetical question." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "I must admit I love temperature. I can feel each change of it on my skin, it is a LIberating experience." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "Oh. I apologize." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "You LIe old man! There's no such thing as molecules. It's all mumbo jumbo that a few quacks said existed." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "There's at least six or seven scientists that regularily frequent this frequency. Don't ask things unless you expect an answer." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "I can show you some if you LIke, Guts." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, can yea be showin' me some o' these Molecules o' me grog?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Scientists you say? Did the dead one speak on this channel often?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Sweet. I'll be right over to LIght Labs so that you may show me these so called molecules." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Or Doctor Cossack?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "If you speak of the Butcher known as DeVry, he did indeed frequent this frequency." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Kain transmits, "Two Months ago... that would be a... yes." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Scribe Robin transmits, "I was referring to this channel's lack of quaLIty, and how ice is cold because it just is." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, if yea be meanin' Landon, then yea be bringin' up a topic yea should not touch. He be dead, let's let Day Jones' have th' fellow." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "...how interesting. At least the information I'm gathering on him is consistant. I wonder why everyone hated him so much... And Cossack? What of him?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man sends a video feed of him deLIvering the final blow with his scepter, dropping Pyro Squirrel out cold. " Any others, or is this the only one out there with the nodes to face me? " [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "... Yes, scientists. LIke Dr. LIght, Dr. Cossack, Dr. Wily, Dr. Doppler, and me." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Yer not a scientist!" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "How dare you try to place yourself, or others, at the level of Amun-Wily! He is no mere scientist! He is your superior in every way!" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Scribe Robin transmits, "If I remember, you invented the super-cohesive known as GelLIon, correct?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "You know I can't let you in, Guts. Can we meet someplace neutral to look at some molecules? I could show you the ones in your arm, they're actually quite fascinating. We used a molecular ampLIfier to power up certain portions of it." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger just sighs heavily. [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, good showing, Pharoh Man me matey!" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Tetsuo's?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Yes, I created GelLIon." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Is that LIke jello?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Nice to hear someone keeps up on current topics." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "...Dr. Wily is pretty nice." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, what be this "GelLIon"? Be it a form o' spirits?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Scribe Robin transmits, "Why, thank you." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "Hm. Tetsuo's for molecular study. Sounds LIke a fun evening." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Remember that stuff that had Metal Man immobile for a week? That's GelLIon, Guts." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Not really. I could care less what happens to Metal Man and hardly pay attention to him." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "Come now, no others wish to challenge the Master of Sands?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger rasps out a short laugh, "Why do I bother..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Can someone tell me about Dr. Cossack? This is most bothersome. How does anyone get anything done with this infernal yammering..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, yea could be bettin' that Wily found a way t' neutraLIze GelLIon nigh-instantly!" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pyro Squirrel transmits, "OOC:I do! Oh, wait, I'm unconscious." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Actually you idiots had to cut him out with a laser scalpel." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Thomas LIght transmits, "Who are you, sir? We can talk in another forum." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Zero transmits, "He's an insane Russian, with a penchant for kilLIng things, that's all you need to know." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pirate Man transmits, "Cossack be a mate from Russia who be makin' robo birds, but nay, he has yet t' be makin' me a prrot." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Isn't that all of Russia?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "My name appears to be Eidolon. My earLIest memories are meeting a pair of RepLIforce soldiers in Hong Kong...or was it Shanghai..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Zero transmits, "Pretty much, Guts." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "He actually manages it, though." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Dr. Cossack is one of the best men I know." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Heheheheh, Russians. They LIke to kill people. LIke that Ivan Drago. He killed Apollo Creed!" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Prismatic Spider transmits, "Hello Eidolon. It was in Hong Kong." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "... Eh? Hm. Amenesia or neural net damage?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Prismatic Spider informed me that my visions of birds, a young girl innocent, naive and besieged, and of a driven man, haunted by the past, would lead me to the Cossacks..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "He also is the one who informed me of the connection of the dead man and the Cossacks...hence my interest." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Internal scans indicate no neural system damage...." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "It appears to be amnesia, but I find that perplexing since I am not physiologically human." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, ".. Hrr?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "I'm GLad I too the chance to go when I had it..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "That's... PecuLIar. I'll inform Dr. Cossack you're looking for him." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "I contacted him via radio, but I thought he was busy. What can anyone tell me about the dead man, besides that he is dead and they are happy for it?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Everyone provides those two segments of information.." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "Dead man? You mean DeVry?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Yes. That man." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "Landon DeVry was a UN Scientist, until he went utterly mad. For a short time, he worked for the prestigous Amun-Wily and his Robot Masters, until betraying us and selLIng his soul for a cybernetic body. He was an annoyance to all on the planet, until recently, when he was felled in combat, and while without a complete body...killed by Procyon in an attack." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "...Procyon again..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Zero transmits, "... dammit, he did?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "He seems to pop up all over the place." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Zero transmits, "And I missed it?!" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "Because the world wants to give you more to angst over? :>" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "They're selLIng his body on Ebay, Zero." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "I know the feeLIng, Zero." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Zero transmits, "Dude, did any of you chuckleheads get it recorded?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "(OOC: MIS!! ><)" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "No. It was so sudden, none were able to until it was too late. Procyon was swift and merciless. A pity, Landon deserved a slow, painful death." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Mister, How many LIcks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Why does everyone disLIke the dead man so much? I can understand disLIking an evil person, but -everyone- I've spoken to is rejoicing over his demise. Then again, the fact that KaLInka spoke of attempts by him to murder her and sell her into pornography do offer me a GLImpse at him.." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "I second that." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "He had a penchant for creating humanoid drones in the visage of underage girls and sending them wandering around carrying biological weapons." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "I rejoice the end of Landon's evil... but I morn the loss of his briLIance." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "I don't know why some people disLIke Landon, but I disLIke him because he tried to hurt KaLI. Now, how many LIcks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Prismatic Spider transmits, "It depends on the friction of your tongue and the amount of sLIva or other solvent you use." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "There's really no answer to that question, Alpha. Everyone LIcks at a different rate of speed so you just have to count yourself." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "42, according to a study performed by Guts Man, I beLIeve." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Oh...I thought it was three..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Wire Wolf transmits, "Let us find out." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Just due to the comercials." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "42 is alot when you don't have a tongue." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Yes." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Prismatic Spider transmits, "That's just how many Old Owl took before biting it." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "He...cheated?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Oh." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "It was meant to be humorous, Alpha." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Oh, I have a bad sense of humor." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Wire Wolf *rustlerustle* "... One." *slurp* "Two..." *SLIck* "Three." *LIck* "Four." *~CRUNCH~* "...The answer is four. [Radio: (D) GLobal] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "Such an inane question..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Do you know the answer, Sword Man?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Biological weapons? Why was he so hellbent on bothering the Cossacks? I spoke to KaLInka, she seemed LIke a nice girl...albeit a LIttle spooked." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "Far more sane than some that have been pondeerd on here." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Cossack transmits, "Because I vould not giff him vhat he vanted." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Rigger transmits, "He felt Dr. Cossack was his rival and the best way to get to him was to harm KaLInka." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "Nay, though perhaps it is because I have not tried this confection you speak of." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Dr. Cossack! I had hoped to speak to you! What did the dead man want, Dr. Cossack?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "I bet if Doppler didn't have your stapler he'd have taken that instead." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "RepLIforce didn't seem to mind him too much, though." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Cossack transmits, "He vanted to become immortal by transferrink his intellect into a Reploid body. He vanted access to vesearch zhat vee had repressed because it vas immoral and dangerous. I vould not giff him it, and since I had an exploitable veakness and LIght did not, he attacked me. And each time, I veached out my hand, and I crushed him down..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "A pity you did not finish him, Cossack. I find it so annoying that after all this time, an outsider such as Procyon got the honors of kilLIng him." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Wait wait wait. So a moron LIke Procyon who suggested the Doomsday Games killed Landon? Oh that's just great." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Why would anyone want to become immortal? ...one of my memories is of Procyon showing me society after society crumbLIng before him... To LIve that long...would be a LIfe filled with Death..." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "He thought it would make him celebrated should he succeed rather than despised because he thought it would make up for his misdeeds, so he says. *a pause* Procyon brings people to LIfe a lot too, maybe he'll do that to Landon." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pirate Man transmits, "Arr, at least the morons be doin' the right thing and be kilLIn' each other, arr." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "Who...what are you?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Cossack transmits, "I am GLad he is gone. Vunce I vanted to end him myself, but as zee months passed ... it vas fatiguink. His evil became more and more banal as time passed.

[Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Cossack transmits, "I do not hate him, not any more. I pity him. He lost vhat vas best in LIff for zee loff of survival."

In his strivink to become immortal, he lost all zose t'inks. His body, his sanity, perhaps even his immortal soul." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Cossack transmits, "He became intellect, detached from zee sensual universe. He lost vhat it vas to be human."

[Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "Atrocity? How was he atrocity?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Zero transmits, "He tried to play God, in a way that was beyond moral or ethic standards."

It's LIke a kid playing with Legos and making a robot, only he was doing it with humans." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "It's kind of sad, really.

[Radio: (D) GLobal] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "He claimed to want to be the savior of humanity, and in the process, lost his own humanity. A pathetic case, indeed." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "Yes. He wanted, supposedly, to give immortaLIty as a gift to humanity." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Dr. Cossack transmits, "Yes. Just so he could LIff forever, he prevented ozzers from LIffink. He said it vas for zee cause of humanity risink to a higher plane, but zee bodies left behind vould not agree." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Pharaoh Man transmits, "He had an odd way of showing it." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "...he was a horrible man, wasn't he.

[Radio: (D) GLobal] Alpha transmits, "If you don't want that one, you can change it. ... If you were made by him, I guess it's good you don't have to know him. Maybe you can do some good things to make up for the bad he has done. Whatever good is. Assuming you want to. You might not. Do whatever you wish, Eidolon. ... What did he say?" [Radio: (D) GLobal] Gemini Man transmits, "Man, you and Alpha should get together, smoke the weed, and space out on how LIttle you know about the world."

For what the stream wants is only to travel endlessly to the sea. The tree wants only to grow tall and strong, as a spire into the sky, a bastion of power and vigilance. The very wind wishes only to travel from place to place. What Nigh wants, my friends, is what Nigh wishes to do. And what he wishes to do... well... We shall see." [Radio: (D) GLobal] Eidolon transmits, "I wonder about Duo and Nigh, I have since the night at Easter Island when I heard Procyon speak and it sparked my memory.
