09-14-2008 18:59:56 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Mobile Armored Combat Hospital Mark II


09-14-2008 19:00:15 [The Legendary]OpMegs: MACH Mk.II, for short.


09-14-2008 19:00:22 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: MACHMII?


09-14-2008 19:00:29 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Empathy/Ice Blast


09-14-2008 19:00:42 [The Legendary]OpMegs: He's an enormous robot with the Red Cross logo slapped on his chest.


09-14-2008 19:00:56 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: That's too funny


09-14-2008 19:00:59 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: What's the secondary?


09-14-2008 19:01:11 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Ice Blast.


09-14-2008 19:01:31 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: *Nods* Of course. For the cryogenic transport of replacement limbs and organs, of course.


09-14-2008 19:02:05 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Naturally. Taking him around Outbreak was a hoot.


09-14-2008 19:02:27 [The Legendary]OpMegs: 'I. AM. DISPENSING. VALUABLE. MEDICAL. CARE. DO. NOT. RESIST.'


09-14-2008 19:02:55 [The Legendary]OpMegs: *tasers another Infected*


09-14-2008 19:03:10 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: *rofl*


09-14-2008 19:03:25 [The Legendary]Sweno: that's a wonderful line to walk in on.


09-14-2008 19:03:39 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: SWENO!

09-14-2008 19:04:27 [The Legendary]Sweno: ooh, looks like there are alot of people on redside


09-14-2008 19:04:27 [The Legendary]Kaeda: Swemo!


09-14-2008 19:04:32 [The Legendary]OpMegs: And Congrats, Kyou. I now Envy you.

09-14-2008 19:05:09 [The Legendary]Sweno: Grats to Kyou


09-14-2008 19:05:21 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: ."ATTACKING THIS UNIT AUTHORIZES THIS UNIT TO IGNORE THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED."


09-14-2008 19:05:32 [The Legendary]Sweno: what evil is being propagated today?


09-14-2008 19:05:43 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: I'm laughing so hard it took five tries to type that, Ops


09-14-2008 19:05:44 [The Legendary]OpMegs: I've entered my Medicbot into an Atlas CC.


09-14-2008 19:06:56 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: Sweno: I've got Frosty lined up for poor Leon, and almost got Frosty on another line with Ruff here.


09-14-2008 19:07:53 [The Legendary]OpMegs: But yes. Now I'll always think of MACH's voice as being ED-209 as a medic


09-14-2008 19:08:30 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: Ahgahd. The electronic growl. "HOLD STILL SO THIS UNIT CAN SEDATE YOU."


09-14-2008 19:08:51 [The Legendary]OpMegs: 'DROP YOUR ARMS AND PREPARE FOR ANASTHETIC. YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO COMPLY.'


09-14-2008 19:09:03 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: Or: "BE WARNED YOU MIGHT FEEL A SLIGHT... PINCH."


09-14-2008 19:09:37 [The Legendary]OpMegs: '5. 4. 3. 2. 1. THIS UNIT HAS NOW BEEN AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER ANASTHESIA BY BLUNT TRAUMA. THIS MAY HURT A
BIT.'


09-14-2008 19:09:51 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: ... "CREDIT SCAN COMPLETED: SWITCHING TO THE CHEAP STUFF."


09-14-2008 19:10:18 [The Legendary]Kaeda: YOUR MEDICAL INSURANCE IS HEREBY... DENIED.


09-14-2008 19:10:59 [The Legendary]Sweno: I'm so glad I have chatlogging turned on, this is being posted later


09-14-2008 19:11:02 [The Legendary]OpMegs: The best bit is I went with the same tech helm as a lot of the Sabres used...added a few frontal bits...the top of
his head's a siren dome now.


09-14-2008 19:11:09 [The Legendary]MicroShade: lol


09-14-2008 19:11:44 [The Legendary]Sweno: are there enough people to run a snake-farm?


09-14-2008 19:13:05 [The Legendary]MicroShade: what lvl redside? I've got 15 - 30 minutes.


09-14-2008 19:13:15 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: ALERT: CATGIRL DNA DETECTED. DO YOU REQUIRE A RABIES VACCINATION?


09-14-2008 19:13:36 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: _< @_@

09-14-2008 19:16:02 [The Legendary]Unicorna: *not surprised, knows to blame sofa*


09-14-2008 19:16:05 [The Legendary]OpMegs: But yeah....the general length of the snake farm's not that long, comapred to say, a BP run. It took us, what,
20 minutes the other night for one run, Spud?


09-14-2008 19:16:06 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: My typing is borkend


09-14-2008 19:16:16 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: About that, yeah


09-14-2008 19:16:22 [The Legendary]Unicorna: I don't have the farm myself yet, but I'm working towards it


09-14-2008 19:17:56 [The Legendary]MicroShade: I can bring my 50... or a lvl 14 bubbler


09-14-2008 19:17:59 [The Legendary]OpMegs: ...how did you do that?


09-14-2008 19:18:12 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: He started spouting, I smashed him flat with two crits in a row, his next two sentences came out after he was
crumpled on the floor


09-14-2008 19:20:13 [The Legendary]Unicorna: here's more


09-14-2008 19:20:27 [The Legendary]Unicorna: mt


09-14-2008 19:21:10 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Well, that's 300,000 inf for just standing around here.


09-14-2008 19:21:16 [The Legendary]Sweno: nice


09-14-2008 19:21:23 [The Legendary]Sweno: post pics


09-14-2008 19:21:25 [The Legendary]OpMegs: And the next set of judging hasn't even started yet


09-14-2008 19:22:02 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Also, either the Huge bodytype has a shorter 8 foot than the male and female ones, or Back Alley Brawler is a lot
taller than I thought.


09-14-2008 19:22:34 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Caus MACH is *barely* taller than him and I maxed out everything.


09-14-2008 19:23:29 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: *thudthudthudthudSQUISH* "PARDON. THIS UNIT WILL ASSIST IN RECONSTRUCTING YOUR BODY AFTER IT IS PRIED OFF
THIS UNITS FOOT."


09-14-2008 19:23:57 [The Legendary]OpMegs: ...there's a few characters here I could do that to.


09-14-2008 19:24:50 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: ."THIS UNIT THANKS YOU FOR JOINING THE TEAM. PLEASE SIGN THIS LIABILITY RELEASE WAIVER BEFORE WE
BEGIN."


09-14-2008 19:25:24 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Hey, at least he's not exposing them to dangerous levels of radiation. :Lol


09-14-2008 19:26:02 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: ... "YOU ARE NOT AN APPROVED X-RAY MACHINE. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ASSIST THIS UNIT."


09-14-2008 19:26:19 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: Rhea: HEY!


09-14-2008 19:27:31 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Yeah....at least I know ahead of time that soloing with him is full of pain and tears, and thus I shouldn't
bother too much.


09-14-2008 19:27:46 [The Legendary]Terrence Knight: Huurrrg


09-14-2008 19:27:49 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: He's an Emp. You won't need to solo.

09-14-2008 19:28:07 [The Legendary]OpMegs: THIS UNIT REQUIRES A CERTIFIED MECHANIC.


09-14-2008 19:28:13 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: ."THIS UNIT DOES NOT ACCEPT SUPPOSITO--GLLRRK"


09-14-2008 19:28:22 [The Legendary]Terrence Knight: *Irradiates unit*

09-14-2008 19:29:20 [The Legendary]OpMegs: Who is, amazingly, male


09-14-2008 19:29:26 [The Legendary]Sofaspud: ... bad mental image. Terr in a dark cave, picks up Lisa and/or Rhea, holds over head like a glow-stik


09-14-2008 19:29:33 [The Legendary]Sweno: that's a rarity


09-14-2008 19:29:42 [The Legendary]Terrence Knight: It made me realize...My old monitor was a real peice of shit

This is backstory - back from the events of SOS-Con. It gives another incident that led to the Jason going forward with Yggdrasil. There will be
several parts to this - this is the first one. Opinions are welcome. Also - I have an incident in mind for another encounter with various zwilnik employees.
I'd like to know if I should put that one up - would people like to see what the Jason is like in full Mad Scientist Rant mode? Let me know, please. *grin*
On with the story.

Its wierd... as of the last two weeks or so Aceess Denied has become the slowest loading page I've run across.

You didn't tweak anything did you Bob? At the moment I'm assuming that its something in the most recent update of Firefox that's misbehaving,
since this happened after the relaunch and therefore shouldnt be anything added or taken away THEN....

NO QUARTER!!!
-- "No Quarter", by Echo's Children

I've been a busy boy lately and I've got a final draft of Gina and Jess's character bios. Please comment, kibitz, whatever, before I post them on
the Wiki.

Edited to fix a couple small things. And again to get rid of the god damn smilies.

• Middle Management: She takes care of some of the more mundane management duties at The Roughrider's
  home base, including compiling and giving reports to Benjamin.
  
• Hot Stuff: She is one of the most outstanding pilots among The Roughriders, even with the fact
  that she's an AI taken into account.
  

• I am one with the net: When she was made, she had A10 clips that are permanently mounted to her skull. These act as transceivers for her high-bandwidth
  ether-wave connection to whatever ether-wave networks are available. These clips have their liabilities, though, as they are directly connected to her
  nervous system.
  
• Superhuman: By virtue of having a wave-tech android body, Gina has super-human strength, speed, and agility. She's not afraid to put it to
  use, either.
  

• Queen Bitch: "You got a problem with me!? Stick where the sun don't
  shine!"
  
• Protective: "You! The bimbo in the fuku! Get the fuck off Benjamin before I rip you
  apart!"
  
• She's Not Asuka: "How dare you! I am nothing like that dumb bitch! NOW
  DIE!!!"
  

• Army of One: Handles most of the day-to-day operations at 36 Atalante, even the cooking and
  cleaning (though she has help from a lot of Clanks).
  
• Old Habits: Jess still makes costumes in her spare time and it's still her one love and
  joy.
  

• Multitasking: Jessica can be doing any number of various tasks without interruption - even sleeping!
  
• Independent Runner: A single Jessica can operate independently of the Jessica Collective. This is useful for when a single Jessica needs to operate from
  beyond the range of the rest of her Collective.
  

• Can't Hide Everything: Supreme physical stimulus, whether it is pleasure or pain, can actually effect the rest of her Collective Consciousness. This is
  evident if she forgets to take off the A10 clips before she partakes in a... act of passion.
  
• Synchronization: If a Jessica has been running independently for more than a month, then she may begin to grow new thought-patterns that differ from
  the Collective. Depending on how the Collective feels about the changes, they will either be drowned out or fully assimilated.
  
• Not Your Daddy's Rei: Unlike the character whose namesake she took, Jessica is highly emotive, usually cheerful, and is disdainful of people that feel that
  she should be more like the Rei of Evangelion.
  

I've been comparison shopping for these things and none of them have what I want. Or rather, none of them have only what I want.

I don't want to pay for something that would let me watch broadcast TV on my laptop; I only want to be able to use it as a portable game console screen -- to hook it up to my PS2, in short. Does anyone know of any product that would just do that?

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

- Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012

about my Babylon .5 station (and if my muse dosen't wander off again, maybe I'll get some actually writing in too).

I've decided that the station will be partially self sufficient foodwise, at the 'top' of the station will be an agriculture deck(s?) growing
various vegetables, some young fruit trees and one of The Jason's Blood Orange trees for the medical facility's use.

At the 'bottom' of the station will be a aquacultural deck, raising rice, various waterloving plants and a freshwater fish farm.

B.5 will also raise chickens and rabbits

One of the station's researchers made an ill-concieved attempt to raise hogs, but that experiment ended when the test subject, 'Porky', developed
the ability to stand on his hind legs and talk with a stutter. Just because pigs can eat a wide variety of organic materials doesn't mean you don't
need to screen the stuff for Wavium first.

Eventually, I'm planning on the development of chibi-starfuries for station defence. Low grade drone AIs in starfury shape (but at about 1/4 scale). I
was thinking that one of their quirks would be that they are territorial, meaning they don't like travelling more than say, 5mi from the station. If in
hot pursuit or intercepting a definate threat, they're willing to go out to about 15mi before breaking off.

oh, and because of how they flew in canon, the chibi-starfuries will be accelleration drives, though the Wavium helps reduce fuel requirements.
