Technology News                    Fri Oct 25    News Report

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	"Earlier today in a press conference, a trio of University robotics students in Florida announced their intent to file a lawsuit against the United Nations Technology board for refusing to provide funding for their 'revolutionary project'. That revolution, for those curious, is their creation of the world's first curry-powered reploid. The UN has refused to provide funding on the grounds that it is 'ridiculously silly and impractical'. The suit should reach courts sometime in early December."

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Radio: (C) Global] Hotstuff Harmony transmits, "I'd save the talk for after you can actually defend yourself, Jet, just a helpful hint. ."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "Mmm. Jet Stingray. I seem to recall you inscribed with all the names of the fallen at the Battle of Repliforce Island... I wonder if they'd inscribe all those who died when Repliforce Island /fell/ were I to beat you into slag once more."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Jet will probably only get a trophy in his name when he dies. Cause you know, he's such a sucky athlete that they have to give him a trophy sooner or later. Might as well make it a Memorial Trophy for the Best Loser."

[Radio: (C) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "Ballade... I see to remember me blowing the snot out of a big robot thing when you were trying to take out a dam. As for the slag, I've been training. Next time it will be /you/ crying out for pain. And Guts Man, if you want to know my racing wins, just look on a box of Wheaties. Or at Burger Barn. Because at Burger Barn, the quality of its food and mascot are almost as good as their low prices."

[Radio: (C) Global] Crash Man OOCly hands Jet his endorsement check.

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack says something in Russian about lame product placement.

[Radio: (C) Global] Pharaoh Man says something in Egyptian about crappy french fries.

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man quietly singsongs, "Product placement, product placement, Burger Barn, product placemeeeent! o/`"

[Radio: (C) Global] Hotstuff Harmony just sighs audibly. Boys..

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, ".....I prefer a good juicy Wilyburger. Come to africa, where we'll serve you Wilybeer with your food. Because Lightbeer sucks."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "Amen."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin mumbles something in Latin about economics.

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "The last person I saw on the box of Wheaties was Hero Boy after he destroyed Duo. Since then they've only put generic non recognizeable generic looking generic athletes on it. Pretty generic packaging if you ask me."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "Ah, buyer bevare. Yes, indeed."

[Radio: (C) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "Wilyburger... 'It's not just the cows that are crazy here!' And I'm not generic! I'm the /only/ stingray reploid... One of a kind!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "Mmm. Docotor Cossack - I will allow Doctor Wily to eat at Wilyburger. Despite his history of health problems. Do you really think the food could be in the least bit dangerous?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "You vaise a good point. But zee question is: vhat do you let him eat?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "...Ballade, Wily has already abused his carcass beyond all comprehension"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "A little red meat and virulent mayonaisse is the least of his worries"

[Radio: (C) Global] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "Hrmph....what is the proper cliche to bring to question at this moment, DeVry?...ah, yes, the "Pot calling the kettle 'black'"."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "Not so. I have him on a balanced diet, with plenty of fibre, and a number of specially balanced multivitamins a day. His heart is rapidly improving."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Hahahaha you're so funny, I've seen millions of stingray reploids."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I kept my body in top shape til someone put a bullet through it."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Have you removed the alcohol from his diet and regulated his sugars?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "Of course."

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "Lucky jerk."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "Fiber is veddy important, yes. But I'd still like to know vhat he orders. Maybe I vill giff it a try."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man makes some barely audible offhanded comment about Spring Man.

[Radio: (C) Global] Hotstuff Harmony transmits, "You're also a dork, Jet. Don't provoke 'em anymore, it's really tiring to listen to. You'll always be our special dork, just remember that."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Has he been taking the pills I prescribed for him when I was still his personal physician?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "Awww, who knew Repliforcers were bitter."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "Well, except for a very moderate amount of alcohol. A little bit actually reduces risk of heart atacks. Ah. He orders the Number 3 combo - Bacon Cheeseburger with a sidesalad. Vinegar dressing."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Hahahaha, dork."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "If you were a pig you'd be a porky dork!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "No, DeVry. I now handle his perscriptions."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Has he at least given you medical programming?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "Yes."

[Radio: (C) Global] Pyro Squirrel transmits, "Better get the paramedics standing by then..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "Shut it, rat."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "The important issue. Stress and blood pressure..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "Well that explains the heart attack."

[Radio: (C) Global] Turbo Man transmits, "You disrespeckin' Ballade?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Albert's medical history is -rife- with heart problems."

[Radio: (C) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "Guts Man, you are a Liar McFibfib. I am unique!" Pauses at Harmony for a moment, then just continues. "And I'm not a dork."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Most stemming from his stress levels."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "The insults I hear these days..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "His blood pressure is down, despite his recent relapse."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "I'm EMBARRASSED by what I hear."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "What about his stress levels?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Hotstuff Harmony transmits, "Yes you are, I've seen it.. but it's okay. I forgive you."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler tsks. "Is he still insisting on not replacing his faulty heart with a cybernetic one?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "You find you miss the feel of organics eventually, Doppler. When Struldbrug syndrome has hit you as it has hit me...you will realize this."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "It is a chill feeling when you realize you have no heartbeat."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "He is Doctor Wily. I have him on something to mitigate the effects of his stress levels. As for cybernetic parts... those will only be used in a situation of life or death. As judged by me."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "Yes, yes, I've read your research, DeVry, believe it or not."

[Radio: (C) Global] Pharaoh Man transmits, "Ballade was built to serve Amun-Wily as a bodyguard as I was built to fight those who oppose him. Do not doubt his abilities in the task chosen for him by our master."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Yeah, we don't want Wily to become a cyborg freak like Doppler."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ballade transmits, "Now, if I recall, Dr. Cossack was inquiring about WilyBurger. They do deliver, of course."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Then explain the patent idiocy of the push to cybernize the majority of Europe's population!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "I still say Ninja Burger is better."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "There is no such thing as ninja burger."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "I simply recognize the physical frailities of humans. It's strange, that for all that they herald that humanity is the sum of evolution, there are still so many defects, genetic or viral...."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I seek to continue humanity's evolution, it has been stunted, because we allow our weak, mentally and physically, to continue breeding"

[Radio: (C) Global] Magnet Man transmits, "Mmmmm, burgers."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "I'm not pushing anyone, DeVry. The citizens of Europe clamor for it. Who am I to deny them a closer glimpse into the glory of the machine?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "You should be responsible enough to know the -hell- inherent in a full body conversion"

[Radio: (C) Global] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "And what of the defects, glitches, and other problematic happenings within those of a robotic. Again, I say to you, perfection is a fallacy. Even I, as a "robotic puppet", as many would dismiss me as, can see this."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Yeah, we dismiss sword Man all the time."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Even if he's a better sword guy than Zayin."

[Radio: (C) Global] Big Bad Sword Man sighs. "Perhaps I shouldst not bother."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "Those glitches can be easily rectified. Unlike organic life, which by its very nature fights any changes to itself."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Those glitches are impossible to rectify"

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "I agree, Guts. Sword can flatten any Shadow Hunter b****es."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "You never had to battle real virii, Doppler. The glitches of a machine are very similar."

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "If organic life fought every change than blood transfusions wouldn't work, and cyborgs wouldn't exist. It's just a bit more fragile."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Are you backwards compatible Doppler? Because if your current supply of parts run out you're pretty much up the river without a paddle."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "Glitches of a machine?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Precisely my point, Guts Man."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man sounds curious. "Whaddya mean?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "Ongaic life has had more field testing to work the bugs out."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I seek a perfect fusion of man and mechanism, such that mechanism becomes -organ- and we no longer need to produce them."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler says sharply, "I have had plenty of experience with genetic deficiencis and virii, thank you."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Did I strike a nerve, 'Siggie'?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Doppler is like a Gameboy, eventually they won't make parts for him, like they stopped making games for it back in 2174."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Were you a sick little boy who grew into a -sick- man?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "At last, he admits it!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "I still want to know."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Well knowing is half the battle."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "I think that would describe you better, DeVry."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "Perhaps if we had someone with knowledge of hacking attempt such a feat..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Is that why you hate humanity, Siggie? Do you hate humankind because we pushed you around and beat you up for being weak, and foolish?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "And heh, I was always in peak physical condition."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "... I just tramsmitted that over the wrong channel, didn't I?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "You know, if someone called me something as stupid as 'siggie', I'd hate them too."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man sighs. "Why is it every time I ask an honest question I'm ignored?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "...up until a UN soldier put a piece of lead through my lung"

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "He hates humans because they're not all bald like him."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Sigmund is far from Doppler, in fact his hairstyle makes him appear as if he was perpetually being goosed by a tesla coil"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "Cry me a river. All I've endured has only made me stronger. All you seem capable of doing is whining."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "(OOC: Sigmund is far from Doppler...I have no idea what I meant by that...)"

[Radio: (C) Global] Pyro Squirrel transmits, "That is all that they ARE capable of doing."

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man transmits, "OOC: maybe Siggy, DeVry? :)"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "OOC: Naw, -bald- :D"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Hrm, refuse to admit your own weakness, hrm, Sigmund?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Have you endured backdoor entry yet from Cyber Peacock?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger chokegiggles.

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Is that why you hide behind Sigma, Sigmund? Is he your perfect representation of what you always wanted to be?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Tall, powerful, with easilly managable hair?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Tengu Man snorts at Guts.

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Doctor DeVry does not hide, however. He does not hide behind his Janes or whatever those biohazards are. Nor does he hide behind immortality as a justifiable reason for his crimes."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "If that is the yardstick you want to use for judgement, then I can only guess that you wanted to be a young, nubile woman."

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "Thank you. I wasn't going to say it."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "D'oh!!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I do not raise up my Janes above me, Doppler. I do not think they should rule the world, nor do I say that I am one of them. And do keep your creation from piping up."

[Radio: (C) Global] Kain transmits, "..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Ah yes, that is correct, Doctor Doppler -did- create me, didn't he?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "/Emperor/ Sigma may speak when and where he pleases."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "Quite right, Dr. Doppler."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Ah, there we see the difference, Doppler. I know where my units belong, beneath me. You allow your little tinkertoy to develop delusions of granduer."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "But you can only speak when he tells you to right Doppy?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "I know my place within the Coalition and the Empire. They need my guidance, of course, but they are quite capable of leading themselves."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Accusations of delusions of grandeur for the one who searches for immortality. As I said before, Landon, you may accuse me of anything you wish personally. Or even through one of your slaves, if you wish to be wasteful."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "And as Sigma becomes more vocal, little Siggie disappears into the background. Tell me, Sigmund, how far up his rectum do you have to stick your hand to operate him?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry is too Shounen for Clamp

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "Perhaps you are worthy of some humanitarian acts after all, DeVry. After all you're giving all of us, reploid and human alike, a common cause to join together over. Namely kicking your sorry ... Brain in a jar."

[Radio: (B) BD-Secure] Derek Vasquez transmits, "Hey, Special K!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "Actually, I find him entertaining to listen to."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "You have loud words, but does anybody listen?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler snorts derisively, but doesn't dignify the question with an answer.

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Many do, Sigma, I make them."

[Radio: (C) Global] Alpha transmits, "Perhaps it is your common inclination to rudeness, Captain."

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "Wait, wait, did DeVry just accuse someone *else* of playing with dolls?"

[Radio: (B) BD-Secure] Kain transmits, "Greetings, DErek. How are you this fine evening?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Shield transmits, "Yes, he did."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Ah yes, I also owe a favor to Doctor Cossack for squishing you under the hill. *a long pause* And Fliptop."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "You are a fad, Sigma. Passing from shadow to light, to shadow again. You are a footnote, a list of a fool who will join other fools in the history book's index."

[Radio: (B) BD-Secure] Derek Vasquez transmits, "Just fine, amigo. Got me a new souvenir of my favorite lady at the moment... got a message for you, from Snow White himself. Zippy, that is."

[Radio: (B) BD-Secure] Kain transmits, "Oh? And what does Zero has to say?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "Au contrare, Devry. It is YOU who will be the footnote, just one of many human fools trying to obtain what is beyond the reach of their pitiful race."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma chuckles softly, "Everybody 'do the Sigma'?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Sarah Storm transmits, " I am soo not going to ask.."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "And you Mavericks are pretty stupid."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "History is written by the victors, and this war is not yet over. Perhaps one of our historians will take pity on you and place your shell in a museum somewhere."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "yes, yes, and centuries from now in some sorority, a group of half-naked ceds in Sigma-Sigma-Sigma will have comical pictures of you"

[Radio: (C) Global] Kain mutters lowly (and meant for Landon): "Looks who talking."

[Radio: (B) BD-Secure] Derek Vasquez transmits, "He wants to have a meeting with my Boss, Boss. I said I'd give the message. If you found him, then he knew you accepted."

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "Humanity isn't pitiful! Without them, most of us wouldn't even be here! I don't understand how anyone can say they're so bad. It just doesn't make sense, really!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Good girl, Roll."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "Hmm, I do believe I have some shelf space in a basement somewhere."

[Radio: (B) BD-Secure] Kain transmits, "Fine. I will meet with him."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "Humanity isn't pitiful in actuallity, Roll, it is just pitiful relative to Reploid Kind."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Tell me, Sigma, do you actually believe the claptrap that you spew?"

[Radio: (B) BD-Secure] Derek Vasquez transmits, "Gotcha, Special K. Want me to send him to some meeting place or other?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I'm starting to feel that maniac Vile is the more honest of you two."

[Radio: (C) Global] Magnet Man transmits, "Anyway, if it wasn't for humanity, I wouldn't have so many games to play."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Do you believe yours?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "Humanity has served its purpose, my dear, now that it has created its superiors."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I believe what I say, Sigma. But you claim humanity's inferiority and yet allow Siggie there to continue existing."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "We all know when the Repliforce has been dealt with you will murder everyone not meeting your standards of reploid purity."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "You should at least be honest."

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "But what makes humans so much worse? I can't see it. They seem just like reploids to me. Only they're made of genes instead of metal."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "My, -everybody- Landon?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "What made modern man superior to the neandrethal?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "Perhaps another cliche is in order here: "He who forgets history is doomed to repeat it.""

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "The mind, Doppler."

[Radio: (C) Global] Shield transmits, "They have things called genes, Roll, which influence them from birth."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "And the human mind is far superior to the reploid. I have yet to see a reploid on par with Wily, Light, myself or even you."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Don't be silly sis. Humans aren't like Mavericks. Well except for the Nazis. But other then them, humans are great!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "It is those genes that are the problem. They create natural and irrational instincts that can lead to senseless violence. Tell me, have you ever had a sudden urge to kill many people at once, Roll?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Senseless violence? Hrm, such as...Vile's?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "Hrm. Your oddly inane comments do well to thee today, SIr Guts. The Nationalist Socialist party, known as the Nazis in the vernacular, claimed superiority of one group over another. I do not see how your claims of Maverick superiority are dissimilar."

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "Me? Never. But you're not still not proving anything! Reploids, or I should say maverick reploids, kill many people too, right? For no reason other then they think they're better. That..just proves how much the same they are."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Vile doesn't do senseless violence, he's just mad at the world for being a short robot."

[Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "So Sigma is hilter MK II it makes sense."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "Believe what you will, DeVry. The reploid mind is more adaptable than the human mind, capable of receiving, processing and interpreting information at a higher rate."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Please."

[Radio: (C) Global] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "Hrmph. The young Light speaks through untainted eyes."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "That's why he has a ride armor. To be taller."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "The mind is the mind."

[Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "Your a moron Dopper. From what I know of the reploid mind its a affical copy of the human mind."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "The human mind is infinite."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "My hands are clean."

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "Genes create natural and irrational violence? I seem to recall a certain reploid arriving in a fight he wasn't even a part of to try and *eat my arm.* You want to talk 'irrational violence' I suggest not blaming that solely on human genes."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "Vava is not /short/. He is /compact/. Zeir is a difference."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Hey Roll, let's go get a cup of coffee!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Proud of your living murder machine, are we, Pavel?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "The same could be asked of you, DeVry. Don't your Janes usually carry biological weaponry?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "No, that is the Typhoid Mary's"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "The Waif's explode, The Janes are simple infantry"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "And then, then there is the -ERINYES-"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "My goddess of fury and vengeance!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "And do the Kalinka drones have a special designation?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Turbo Man transmits, "The guy's a jerk, but he sure knows what to call his slaves."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "No, the Kalinka drones were merely series 3 Janes. I had one left which I retrofitted to a more modern Jane mental programming hierarchy"

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "He's got alot of time on his hands. Oh, sorry, he doesn't have hands any more."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "In some vays, yes. I do not approve of his violence against zee verld, but he has fulfilled zee engineerink and development goals I wanted him to. He is adaptable, efficient, goal-driven and has visen to power wiffin his organization. He has asserted leadership qualities, and shows mastery in his strategic decisions. So yes, I am proud. Proud of his potential, but not of zee horrors he has unleashed wiff zhat potential."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Our growth is stunted by humanity, Doctor. It slows us down, if you will. I respect the great scientists humanity has to offer, but they are exceptions and not the rule. Now, you will note that you are not part of this exception. All reploids, however, can already be -created- to comparable height to these great scientists. And yet humanity stunts the growth of these great reploid minds and those who are not...Grow. And once they grow, they shall surpass."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "*chuckles* And do you feel someone shares the same feelings towards me, Cossack?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "In your self-righteous little world."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "I vill take a poll of who most people vould vather wipe from zee face of zee Earth. More people vould vote for you zhan Sigma or Dr. Wily."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "And I would wager most children would prefer sugar to medicine."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "...you mean I'm a scientist?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "..I know that voice..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "I vager most children vould prefer medicine to bleach."

[Radio: (C) Global] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "Greatness cannot be created. It may only be nurtured. Even I, who was created to master the arts of the sword, still have much to learn in such a field."

[Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "I'd vote to get rid of Landon."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Even you may be a scientist, Ditz Pinkmouse, if you choose that path. You may not, however."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "Yay!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "...you have doomed us all Sigma."

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "..In this case.. I don't think you're right, Sigma."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin blinks over the radio.

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Held back? Then you have no reason to stop my quest to ascend humanity to godhood, Sigma."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I'd wager we'd be quite far ahead of you, and quite out of range to -waste- on you."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Ditz, will you kindly explain to Sigma how the lint industry works and then compare it to his genocidal ways?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "The methods overrule the results in this case, DeVry."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Well, with time, cannot anything be possible, Rigger?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Pharaoh Man transmits, "DeVry, you are flawed. And thusly, cannot ever attain Godhood. Only the Great Amun-Wily has achieved such a feat...and for your failure to evolve as a human to his level of magnificence, he shall soon be your master."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "Sure Guts! See, we breed lint, and then we sell it to people who can take care of it. We don't sell to mean people though. And, um, some scientists can make their own lint!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Please, in twenty years, Wily will be incontinent."

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "The sun would explode in the time it would take for him to be a scientist."

[Radio: (C) Global] Turbo Man transmits, "You're treading a thin line, DeVry."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "It is not an insult, it is a fact."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "In twenty years, your husk will be rusting in an empty field, abandoned and forgotten."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "But how will I get a tan when that happens?! I don't want to be a pale scientist!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Yes, Doppler, abandoned by -me-"

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma says, airily, "You mean DeVry does not often tread across thin lines, Turbo Man? Why, he would be quite the circus star."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "Actually, I do have shelf space somewhere..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "When I ascend to my next form."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "Unless, of course, someone wants you in a museaum, and who am I to argue with the historians?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Doppler, what -is- your degree in anyway? Vetrinary school?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "Why don't you people use this thing for something constructive? You can talk to the whole world! And yet you make silly insults. You all make me sad!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Turbo Man transmits, "I'd pay to see the guy fall."

[Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "I think Doppler's degree is in stapler stealing."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "How can I make you happy sis?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "Damn vight it is."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Like a great Crab, I propose, DeVry. But you will die before you achieve your goal. You're slowly dissolving. If it were not for the pleasure gained from destroying you, I would merely wait for that time."

[Radio: (C) Global] Big Bad Sword Man transmits, "'Tis the sad fact of the world, young Light. The world is dependant on conflict. No matter the manner, it is essential."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Doppler assures me that he has not stolen the stapler, Cossack, however we will return the stapler to you.'"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Perhaps Roll we should discuss this issue somewhere private?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Fusion Phoenix transmits, "At least we aren't shooting at each other."

[Radio: (C) Global] Gizmo Glider transmits, " Stupid human cyborgish thingy. Does DeVry ever learn that he is nothing compared to us. And he calls himself a scientist! HA! PERHAPS YOU SHALL BE CRUSHED LIKE THE LITTLE BUG YOU ARE! Oh yesss you shall die DeVry. AND DIE WITH GREAT PAIN!! Kehehehehehehe!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Cossack transmits, "...you are serious, Sigma?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "I would greatly enjoy finishing the dialogue we had once..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "Perhaps we need a seperate channel for the more serious conversations..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Apparently the Mavericks have moved their hatred to the English language."

[Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "Gizmo shut the hell up before I come find you and use your neural net for guitar strings!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "Oh do go after Gizmo, Metal Man. You have my permission."

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "Well, I can't really make you stop talking or anything. I don't own the radio or anything. And as for how you can make me happy, you can come visit some time Gutsy! Well...not at home, I guess. But someplace. Even despite all that's happened, we're still family, right? I'll bring you a nice treat, too!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "I won't bore you with the number of degrees I have, or the letters I'm entitled to place at the end of my title."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "Does Gizmo know anything about lint raising?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Landon DeVry transmits, "Irregardless. I have work to perform..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Sigma transmits, "I do not know, Ditz. Perhaps."

[Radio: (C) Global] Dr. Doppler transmits, "Obviously English was not one of your degrees."

[Radio: (C) Global] Gizmo Glider transmits, " Is that a threat Metal head I assure you, I will not fall to a simpleton like you."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Oooooh treat. Can I bring Ditz along? I think Ditz would like some of that treat too."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "Yay!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "I am going to set up a more intellegent discourse on channel 4157, if anyone cares to join me."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Knock yourself out Scribbles"

[Radio: (C) Global] Scribe Robin transmits, "..."

[Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "Ya know Mambo might like snacking on the bird bot."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "I think we should feed some fish to Mambo. He'd probably like eating generic stingray."

[Radio: (C) Global] Metal Man transmits, "A fine idea my older brother."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Hey Jetneric Stingray, what'choo doing?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "Ditz? I guess if you trust them, it's good enough for me! So what do you want me to bring? This is your chance to get anything you like, provided it's not like..a solid gold giant cookie or something."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Hey Ditz what kind of treat do we want?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "Ooooh, a giant cookie sounds good!"

[Radio: (C) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "How many times must I tell? I'm one of a kind! And I'm /not/ some fish for eating! And as for what I'm doing, I'm hanging out with a girl. So parden me if I don't respond to every little thing you guys say."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Sounds good to me, a giant cookie!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Is she a pretty girl?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Turbo Man transmits, "He must be too busy absorbing rejection to answer."

[Radio: (C) Global] Magnet Man snickers.

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "We should meet at Doctor Light's house!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Or maybe meet at Blues' house!"

[Radio: (C) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "At least I have out with hot girls. The closest thing most of you Wily Wimps get to dating is taking Plant Man to Walmart."

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "Hmmm...well, I don't have any! But of course all that means is I just gotta make some. Chocolate chip fine? And as much as I wish we could, I don't think that would be allowed. We'll need someplace nice and neutral so none of us get in trouble, you know?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Alpha transmits, "Plant Man is quite nice."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Chocolate chip sounds good."

[Radio: (C) Global] BroadbandClassic Jet Stingray transmits, "Never said that Plant Man wasn't."

[Radio: (C) Global] Turbo Man transmits, "You wouldn't know hot if it welded your... uh... flappy things together."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "And maybe we should meet in a park."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "I love chocolate chip! But why can't I go to Doctor Light's house again? Is he having his carpets cleaned?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Alpha transmits, "So what is wrong with dating her?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "The ants would eat my cookie!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Not if you eat them first."

[Radio: (C) Global] Rigger transmits, "The fact that the name 'Plant Man' and 'her' just don't mesh in my mind for some reason... Er.. Yeah. We're having the floors waxed at the labs, Sorry guys."

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "Parks are great! They're so serene and peaceful. And they have lots of trees, too. It might sound weird, but I kind of like trees."

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Maybe you could bring Mega Man too."

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "I like trees too!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Alpha transmits, "Really? Odd."

[Radio: (C) Global] Alpha transmits, "I like trees as well, um, Ditz, is it?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "Hi, I'm Ditz!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Alpha transmits, "Hello Ditz!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "Ok lady!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Alpha transmits, "Alright, Rigger."

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "You should come along too, Alpha! I'll make lots of goodies for everyone, and it'll be great! Though where'd a nice place to meet up be? A park, hmm? But which one? There's a lot of them out there! Wish I'd studied geography better!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "How about a big one?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Roll transmits, "I figure that woudl be good, only I gotta know how to get there, right?"

[Radio: (C) Global] Ditz Pinkmouse transmits, "You could take a bus!"

[Radio: (C) Global] Guts Man transmits, "Or you could ride a hoverbike."
