Log started: 11/22/02 2:35:14 PM Concert Area: Party-Drome The concert area of the Party-Drome rests at the end of the grassy picnic area, turf and vegetation giving way to pleasently designed bleachers which lead down to form a natural auditorium. The usual bathrooms and vendors of a stadium are hidden beneath these bleachers, and the area is made to flow with the natural scenery around it, not clash. The stage is large, spacious enough for an orchestra, and the speakers are placed in strategic locations around the area, often hidden in the construction. When there is a band playing, this place shows that it is nearly acoustically perfect, even with a loud audience.

Fri Nov 22 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast as all the signals in the world are abrutply taken over by.....the Robot Masters? Thats right. The Wily spinny appears on the screen, rotates for a few seconds, and then is eaten by a chibi Wily-head that floats onto the screen Pac-Man style. It chomps across the screen and off the other side as Dr. Wily fades in. The good doctor is sitting at his desk in his personal quarters. Several small figurines stand on the desk in front of him: General.....Colonel. Awww...Wily has toys. "The ceasefire is over?" Wily peers intently into the camera, a faint GLeam of madness in his eyes. He reaches calmly under the desk and pulls out...a hammer? "Ok!" SMASH! The hammer crashes down onto the General figure, then rises up again. Wily beats the figurine repeatedly, cackLIng insanely as he does. Abruptly, he leaps out of his chair, cLImbs onto the desk and begins jumping up and down on the smashed figure. Colonel is soon smashed as well. The scene fades away to what looks LIke a Pac-Man board. This one, however, is extremely cluttered, with LIttle sprites representing various RepLIforcers running around in place of ghosts. The Wily-head appears in the bottom corner, and all the LIttle segments are suddenly transofmred into Power Pellets. Within moments, the board is clear. The LIttle WIly-head moves to the center of the board, and grows legs and arms, becoming an SD-Wily. "YEAH! I WIN!" The chibi Doctor flashes a peace sign, and the feed cuts. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/25 Posted Author Scratchy Transmission Fri Nov 22 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *An image appears, showing a somewhat flustered woman with a tv-shirt with an ankh on it, "Ack! Wrong feed! Turn on the tape! THE TAPE!" The image switches* (The screen is filled with an ankh superimposed on the bird-skull face of Landon DeVry, the image then switches to the shadowy form of the Doctor, aLIt from behind by his electric turbines* Citizens of the world. I, Dr. Landon DeVry, say that this is the time for us to unite against a common foe. I also suggest the immediate evacuation of important personel to the space station Eurasia, and the immediate adaption of Eurasia for space fLIght capacity. We must not perish with our world if our 'heroes' fail us as they so often have. I have sent an advance fleet of ships to Mars in order to begin estabLIshment of an advance base for myself. I advise the rest of you to petition your leaders to follow in my footsteps. Time is of the essense, my fleet will not reach the Martian surface for at least another 2 weeks, and then estabLIshment of faciLIties will take longer. Time is ticking humanity, we do not have time to wait for heroes, or mysteries, or prophecies. We must survive. For Humanity. DeVry out *the image cuts* $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/26 Posted Author Response to DeVry's Plea Fri Nov 22 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GNN has recently received a press-release from LIght Labs and the affiLIated Maverick Hunters. It's only unusual in the capacity that neither Dr. LIght, Dr. Cossack, nor Signas were the ones to issue it as they usually are. Instead it's issued by one Dr. J.R. Matthews, clearly a woman in spite of her name. No video, simply an audio feed. "It is unsurprising that one who has claimed his own attrocities were for the betterment of mankind would choose to flee at the first sign of danger. I do agree, however reluctantly, with him on one point: We must set aside our differences and unite against a threat that we all face." "But there are none who are 'more important' than others of this world. None who are more worthy of being saved from this imminent threat than others. To suggest such a thing, to suggest we turn tail and run after all we have risked and lost is an insult to us all." "This is Earth. This is our home no matter what background we come from - Whether Human, Android, Reploid, Cyborg, or Bioroid. Whether civiLIan, UN, RepLIforce, Maverick Hunter, Robot Master, or Maverick that fact does not change. This is our home, and we will stand our ground." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ [Radio: (C) GLobal] Quick Man transmits, "Aaa, so multitasking isn't one of your skills? Too bad." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Cleaver Cow transmits, "No, it means I am not LIstening to the annoying nattering of a radio when I am trying to think." [Radio: (C) GLobal] Quick Man transmits, "Just turn it off then." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/27 Posted Author UN's Response Fri Nov 22 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Cue UN Podium. But instead of Kelly, Thackery, Garneau, or any other UN Senator stepping up... It's Serena Gilbert.) Before ya'll ask why it's just LIttle ol' me, and not one of the bigger boys and gals at this conference... they're at a meetin'... possibly with one of the Stardroids... and quite simply, Ah also think they don't want ta waste their breath on this matter, so... Here Ah am. (Serena holds out a sheet of paper and ahems.) As fer the official response. "The World Government known as the United Nations would LIke to response to DeVry as follows: While we are looking into the issue of terraforming and colonizing the planet Mars, we will not abandon the Earth. It is and will always be our home and every world power, with the exception of the Wily Empire of Africa and the Maverick Empire, has agreed to stay on Earth to fight the menace that the Stardroids have encountered should they make their way to Earth. It is my wish that the people of Earth do not follow DeVry's cowardly ideals. We have defied the Stardroids. We will defy those whom the Stardroids have fled from. Signed by the most honorable Sec-Gen Kelly McLaren." (Serena finishes reading.) So there it is. Oh, DeVry, sugah? Ah've a message ta ya from mah friend Bluegrass. She said that she's watchin' ya and waitin'... fer the right moment. Just so ya know. (Serena leaves admist flashing LIghts. BLIp.) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ [Radio: (C) GLobal] Guts Man transmits, "Heheheheheh, stomping on models of idiot RepLIforce members sure is fun."
