Quote:Feinan - Annonaynce type, but it can grow to become potentially dengerous as they're as industrious as social insects and multiply like rabits. Even Sekhmet's gonna have a bit of trouble cutting down their numbers. Gina was righteously pissed and, inspired by Skuld's own misadventures, coded the virus on the freakin' fly.I expect that Gina will be given a dressing-down by the http://fnord.sandwich.net/fenwiki/doku. ... underspace]Hacker Underspace after the game, for putting an AI in actual danger... then asked whether she wants to join the group. (Being saccharine-nice isn't a prerequisite for membership; Trigon's a member.)
Quote:And rob - I don't think he'd get away totally unscathed, though given how fast you've got him moving, I'm going with him being on Kinto'un...which definitely ups movement/reaction times, since the AIs are controlling it...Which he was when I saw him previously, so I assumed that was still the case. The Jason isn't the type to throw away a tactical advantage during a skirmish...
I sighed. "Yayoi, next time, don't ask - just assume it's something nasty." She looked contrite... for two seconds. "Now, do I dare use that Top Secret weapon?"
"You're keeping secrets from us?" Leda asked distractedly while staring off in the direction the Jason had ran.
"Not 'top secret' as in 'don't tell', 'Top Secret' as in a game that's older than you are." I pulled the Termite Bomb out of my backpack, sighed, and tossed it into the middle of the bonsai ents. "You did bioengineer the termites to be sterile and short-lived, right?"
Leda nodded. "Oh, that's why you wanted them like that."
"Yep. Let's go." And we took off in the opposite direction and down a stairwell, Yayoi and me half-dragging Leda. If she didn't snap out of it soon, we might have to send her to A.C... which meant sacrificing her somewhere so she'd be out of the game. I didn't want to do that to Leda.
Damn... the biggest weapon we brought didn't work against the Jason. Maybe I should have let Kohran bring along the toys that the Girls had left behind... but it was too late to go back and get them.
