[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][quote name='indifference'][COLOR="Indigo"]At least I did dress up. Silly Utahans and their tendency to not dress up on Halloween. So few of you do that it's hard to tell it's even a holiday. That or I just live in the wrong neighborhood. lol[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Oh it depends. lol Take UVSC, they totally dress up and even the blood drive has those running it dressed up like vampires, where if you go across the city to BYU, you're lucky if you see even one person dressed up. I had costume parties for my birthday as a kid and my mom totally got decked out on Halloween. She'd play scary music as well. Everyone loved coming to our house. Anyway, my birthday is October 1. And though there are members here who have the same B-Day, I don't know any of them. As for celebrities or well known people... Other than a few I don't know who they are either. I do know who these guys are: [B]Jimmy Carter[/B], 39th President of the United States, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize [B]Julie Andrews[/B], British actress and singer There are some pretty cool events that happened on the first of October though, like how in 1890 - The Yosemite National Park is established by the U.S. Congress. That's pretty cool in my opinion. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]Wow, those are fantastic guys. :catgirl: I love the colors and textures as well as the fonts. They're so much nicer than my failed attempts that I deleted. Also, I assume you got that font from DaFont Crystia? That's rather nifty looking and if you don't mind I'd love to know the name so I can go and get it for my computer. Heh. Oh and Aaryanna, I love the textures you used, I love those the best. Especially the first one. Anyway, I'll definately be able to use all of them just as I'm still open for any other banners as well. Thanks again. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]I've got plenty of those last resort friends, but as Lunox already stated, they're really more of an acquaintance than a close friend so it doesn't really bother me that I rarely hear from them. I already know that they don't think about me very often. There are people I treat the same way, I rarely call them because they are just an acquaintance. It has nothing to do with putting them on the back burner or ignoring them. If they thought otherwise then they falsely assumed that we were close friends when we never were. I have had a few like that and it's annoying when it's someone you don't want to be close friends with and yet they keep trying to be in your life when you don't want them there. At that point I no longer even want to talk to them. [quote name='Starfire0567']Yeah but here's the thing...I'm SUPPOSED to be her friend. She,I and two other people are supposed to be like family.[/QUOTE]Why? Times change and that often includes friends. It's not at all unusual to move out of that friends stage and into simply knowing who the person is. I have lots of people that over the years we've drifted apart and are no longer close friends. And if you're suppose to be like family... then I'd say it's time to move on and adopt new siblings. Besides, even family is not immune to being put in that last resort state. I've got siblings and relatives who are the [I]last[/I] person I'd ever want to hear from. XP Anyway, unless I'm misunderstanding you, it sounds like it's time for you to go and make new friends instead of clinging to old ones who seem to no longer be interested in you.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]Once again I?d like to request some help with a banner for an upcoming RPG I am working on. I?ve already made the banner to the exact size I would like it to be. The picture can be found here: [URL="http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/3470/silveronecivilwarrg4.jpg"][U]Click![/U][/URL] In addition to that I'd like some nifty graphics done to it and the words: [B]Silver One: Civil War[/B] needs to be some where on it. I don't care what font you use but I want it to appear exactly as I've typed it, including the [B]:[/B] after the words Silver One since this is a sequel to the first one that just finished. The RPG in question is a science-fiction type futuristic setting if that helps in determining the type of graphic effects to use. But I really don?t have a preference other than the words [B]Silver One: Civil War[/B] needs to be on it. And where ever you decide to place those words is fine too. I am planning on putting the thread up for sign ups in about two weeks so hopefully that's enough time for someone to make a banner. Also, I will be following a loose type of event system in the RPG and when a big change occurs I always put a banner up for that. Last time seven banners were made and every single one got used, most of them more than once. So trust me I'd love to see lots of banners since I'm sure I will end up using every single one. Initially I need three to start with, one for the sign up thread in the Adventure Inn, that thread will go up in about two weeks. Then one for the Underground thread and of course one for the main thread in the Adventure Square once I get things going. Thanks in advance to whoever decides to help me out with this. :catgirl:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]We really need the option [I]most of the time[/I] instead of going from [I]sometimes[/I] straight to[I] always[/I]. Because in the end,[I] most of the time[/I] I prefer to be in control. Why? Because I'm not married and don't have shared responsibilities so I dislike strangers trying to essentially boss me around when most of what I do does not affect them at all. Plus I've spent well over the last decade being the one who is responsible for my care and everything that I do. Now the reason I say most of the time is because when it comes to things where my friends are involved I like shared control. I really have no interest in attempting to be in charge, though often I do end up in that position. More along the lines of leading verses true control though. And when I'm dating, I like for both of us to decide, even if it's a case of taking turns picking what we want to do. As well as what music we listen to, who drives, etc. Though admittedly the driving bit is one I have to work on. It will sound rude, but learning to drive a semi truck put me through quite a bit of training and a lot of people... it's downright scary how they fly down the road without paying attention to a lot of stuff. I don't actively watch for things, but after putting in so many hours driving, it's become habit. And having a boyfriend get angry at another driver when they were the one at fault... It never goes over very well when I point out that he was the idiot who cut the other person off. XP I'm sure it goes without saying, but the quickest way for a boyfriend or anyone else to end up not being my friend... Is to start telling me what we are going to be doing all the time instead of asking. lol[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][quote name='2007DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]If it were up to me, I would not have a penis >_>. Not so funny anymore, is it?[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Sure it is, but then we just like teasing you DB. ^_~ And I have to admit, I wasn't expecting Gavin to be the one to say it. Nerdsy put it best with their response though. lol Anyway... As for being proud, I could also say I'm proud of being level headed. Sure I get into arguments like anyone else. I take things personal instead of laughing at them. But when it comes down to real and serious situations such as knowing what to do when someone has a seizure or when someone holds you up at gun point. I have never panicked and have always remained calm and did what needed to be done. I've always thought I was not the type to panic but to actually know that I don't. Does make me feel a little on the proud side. I've always found the image of the screaming hysterical woman who can't handle anything annoying since I know it's just not true. Perhaps for someone else, but not for me. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][quote name='taperson'][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"][SIZE="1"]I. Love. Blankets.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE]I'll second that! I totally love blankets and use them all the time. Even now I've got a nice small quilted one tucked behind my back to make my chair more comfy. ^_^ Anyway, I love all sorts of blankets. Patchwork, puffy quilts, small ones, four and six sided granny square crocheted ones, Swedish weave, hand sewn circle ones, fuzzy ones and by far my favorite, the electric blanket! I easily have around thirty blankets if not more, I've made quite a few for not only myself but for other people as well. And even with that many, I?m always looking at other cute ones to add to my collection. I?ve also given hand made blankets to my family and friends. I?ve probably made around 25 blankets to give away. It?s especially fun to make ones for my friends when they are expecting a baby. I've made a lot of baby blankets. But yeah, I definately love blankets. I saw a great one the other day and had to walk away since I really didn't need it. Heh.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]Lets see, I haven't really had a lot of nicknames, at least not for a long time. When I was younger, everyone would shorten my legal name [B]Elizabeth[/B] to [B]Liz[/B]. And being the tomboy that I was I would pick fights with whoever said it since I hate that nickname and still do. So shortly before I turned twelve I gave myself my first real nick name and insisted that everyone call me [B]Beth[/B]. I ignored teachers, parents and even friends if they wouldn't call me by that name. It stuck so well that now I've gone by[B] Beth[/B] for almost twenty five years. I've often considered changing my legal name to match. lol I still love it since I never get any stupid nicknames off of it like I did for [B]Elizabeth[/B]. I've had a few people call me [B]Bethy[/B], but I don't mind that at all. As for online, a few people shorten [B]SunfallE[/B] to just [B]Sunfall [/B]or [B]Sun[/B]. And that works just fine too. Other than that, I don't really have much in the way of nicknames, unless you include the standard aunt tacked in there since I have a nephew and now two nieces since my brother and his wife just had their third kid this month. The newest niece is an adorable little thing. :catgirl:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][quote name='P014K']Wow. Having diablo and not playing online, now theres something I could never do. But, to each his own.[/QUOTE]Well I've never cared for the online side, but I do like getting together with friends and networking for multi-player mode. But for the most part I too play the game on my own. And[B] Diablo II: Lord of Destruction[/B] is definately a game that I've put over a hundred hours into. Though like Crystia I have yet to finish the final Hell level. The boss in the desert is annoying enough in normal and Nightmare so I just don't want to be bothered to kill him on the Hell level. lol That thing is more annoying than the final boss. [B]Star Ocean: Till the End of Time[/B] I only just recently hit the hundred hours mark with this game and I haven't even finished the final bonus dungeon yet. Though I am close to beating the hard level. Still I can't get to the final 4D level since I still have to earn a couple more battle trophies. Which means I need to play a new game to choose different companions so I'll have different boss combinations in the bonus dungeons, can't get those battle trophies for beating them otherwise. Heh. [B]Zelda[/B] Though I've easily put in over a hundred hours, I'm not sure if only one game has gotten that much time, but together? I'm quite sure. Each game has been replayed several times. I even just went through Twilight Princess again for the second time. Though I've yet to beat the cave of ordeals. [B] Lunar Silver Star Story & Lunar 2 Eternal Blue[/B] I've easily put over a hundred hours into each of these games. Both of them are one of my all time favorite games. Both have fun side quests and both have after quests or things you done once you've beaten the game. I usually pull them out to replay again once a year since I still love playing them. ^_^[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][I]So no one is on board or they're all dead. [/I] Kendra caught herself shivering just a tiny bit at the thought as she entered the request for Marcus's location. A moment later it pulled up that he was in his quarters. [I]He's probably getting something for briefing the three officers. [/I] She thought as she paged him. A split second later he responded. Sounding slightly rushed as if he had been on his way out the door. "[B]What is it?[/B]" "[B]Sorry to bother you sir, but at Dr. Sanderson's and Dr. Henderson's instructions we moved closer to the spacestation to see if we could determine if there was anyone there. Since there was too much interference for the scanners to determine if there was any signs of life. It seems that no one is on board.[/B]" Kendra explained apologetically since it had not occurred to her to move closer to see if they could punch through the interference and check for life signs. "[B]I see, anything else?[/B]" Marcus inquired. "[B]Yes, with the appearance of the gravitational anomalies through out this area of space, we can't chart a course to leave. Alex and I have been checking and at the moment there isn't a clear path for making the jump to hyperspace.[/B]" "[B]So we're stuck here[/B]." Marcus replied. His voice taking on a more serious slant at the implications behind that statement. "[B]I'm afraid so, we could travel via normal space, but that would take months if not longer for us to get back to a habitable planet.[/B]" Kendra explained, it didn't take much for her to realize that everyone on the bridge was listening in to every thing she was saying. The silence was deafening after all the talking that had been going on, and only the soft sounds of the equipment running could be heard. For once Dr. Rhodes was completely quiet.[I] If only she'd stay that way for a while longer. [/I] Kendra thought, knowing full well that once she was done Dr. Rhodes would most likely have something else to say. "[B]Very well, take us into transport range and notify Dr. Henderson immediately. Everyone is to gather in the conference room in twenty minutes.[/B]" Colonel DeSouza ended the communication. Kendra turned to face Dr. Henderson who had an unreadable expression on her face. Just as the others were looking at her, equally as quiet and keeping what they thought to themselves, though they couldn't hide the uneasiness of how they felt from their eyes. She could see it since she felt the same way. "[B]All right. I'll be in the conference room if you need to find me.[/B]" Brianna turned and left the bridge after Kendra nodded in return. Then she turned back to Alex who was taking the Argo Navis in closer to the drifting spacestation. "[B]I know the Colonel wants everyone to meet in twenty minutes, but with the station drifting, someone needs to stay here to keep the Argo Navis at the same distance and speed. It's a bit erratic to tell the truth.[/B]" Alex explained. "[B]I'll be sure to let him know. I would imagine that you and I will not be transporting over to the spacestation anyway so I can always fill you in on the briefing.[/B]" Kendra said. She turned back to looking at the anomalies that were still throughout the system. [I]I hope we find out what's causing this, we don't have enough supplies to travel back to an inhabited world in normal space.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][quote name='indifference;789540][COLOR="Indigo"] Jared is definately looking forward to Civil War since he's of the opinion that being too soft is what lead to the sectors breaking off in the first place. And it goes without saying that he'd love nothing better than to re-capture Daniel and now Kiva and the others to deal with them. [/COLOR][/QUOTE]Heh, that's so Jared. lol But then appearing nice for him is just that, an appearance. [quote name='indifference'][COLOR="Indigo"']Anyway, *pokes SunfallE* it's time for you to put that final post in and then work on getting the next part up soon. ;)[/COLOR][/quote]It's up. ^_~ I'm both excited and sad to finally be done with this part. I'm still working on gathering the details to include in the next sign up thread along with the underground. And I've been working on the other stuff as well. I'm planning on putting in a graphics request for banners like I did last time. That will probably go up in about a week, possibly two. Then once I get responses from that I should have the rest of it ready to get things going. Also, if anyone has ideas for possible events or scenarios definately feel free to either pm me with them or post them here. That's part of what made this so much fun and so successful in my opinion. All the good suggestions and stuff that you guys have added to the story as well. Anyway, thanks again everyone. I've enjoyed every minute of this. :catgirl: And I'm definately looking forward to the next part.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]Celestia had not meant to collapse, one moment she had been upset and then the next her head had started spinning and then she had woken up in the medical wing. And when she had first woken up she could not remember what had happened. It had taken a little time for her to lose that disconnected and confused feeling and when she had, Celestia had wished that she really could forget. Even though her and Jason had been taken back to their quarters and essentially ordered to rest, she could not. All she could think about was what was going to happen to Daniel. She didn't even care that apparently Commander Crystal had removed the disruptor restraints that they had been required to wear. But then a short while later Elite Commander Dakar had moved them to new quarters, a move that puzzled her to no end since they were obviously up several levels and faced one of the internal gardens located in the Council Center. Even though there was a forcefield designed to keep one from being able to fall off the balcony overlooking the garden, it still surprised her that she and Jason had even been moved in the first place. It was also connected to a second set of quarters. It made no sense whatsoever that they would be given better quarters than they had before. It was also clear that Commander Dakar did not approve of their new location, though why he was so cold about it she did not understand. It was not until the next day when one of the few things they were allowed was finally set up, access to the local news, that she found out why. Even though she hated listening to it, the news was the only way for her or Jason to get information. Sure Matt would tell them things but Dakar and James never bothered to explain anything. Celestia had known things were a mess due to her and Jason being required to work on the Council data vaults, but she had no idea just how messed up things really were until she saw the news about sectors seven through twelve breaking off relations from the rest of the Versilan Empire. And the news about the four factions having ancestors who were members of the lesser races? It was, to be frank, shocking. So many of the people she had met were so hostile towards those of the lesser races and found the fact that she was both offensive. People like Matt who didn't seem to care were the exception. But the thing that had made her the happiest, even though it did not change her position of still being stuck, was the news that Daniel Landers was once again the top most wanted individual in the Versilan Empire. And surprisingly it seemed that Kiva and her crew Daego had been added to that list. She didn't know for sure how it happened since the news didn't give the details, but all she cared about was that it had. Celestia turned from her position of looking over the balcony and down at the trees and flowers in the garden as Jason walked out to join her. "[B]Still thinking about what was on the news earlier?[/B]" He asked her as he stopped next to her and put his right arm across her shoulders. "[B]Yes.[/B]" She said simply as she leaned into Jason. "[B]It's kind of crazy, isn't it? All this time they've been enslaving other races even though at one time, some of them were members of their own families.[/B]" Jason shook his head sadly. "[B]I'll never understand how someone can be okay with taking away another person's liberty.[/B]" "[B]Nor will I,[/B]" Celestia said simply. "[B]As much as I hate violence or war, I don't see any other way of forcing the High Council to stop what they've been doing all this time. I just I hope that those who have broken off are able to put an end to it.[/B]" "[B]Only time will tell,[/B]" Jason replied, he pulled Celestia a little closer. "[B]I only hope that we aren't stuck here for the rest of our lives. Being forced to improve their stupid programs for them.[/B]" Celestia sighed a bit, she knew what was going to happen. With Civil War breaking out, once they were done accessing the remaining Council vaults, they would most likely be expected to improve things to help with the war. And at the moment, she wasn't sure how she was going to handle that. She did not want to be responsible for making it easier for them to kill others. When she had been on Earth and her company had first started, she had refused to work for the various governments since she would not do weapons research, now she suspected that she would be given no choice. She looked up at Jason and smiled a bit before wrapping her arm around his back. For now she'd simply enjoy a quiet moment. Worrying about what was going to happen wouldn't change it and just knowing that Daniel was safe was enough to make her feel better. Jason leaned over and kissed Celestia on the forehead. His own feelings as to what was going to happen uncertain and mixed. It was good to see her in better spirits since learning about Daniel, but at the same time he knew her well enough to know that she was obviously concerned about what would be expected of them. And he felt the same way. With the prospect of war coming, those in charge would be less forgiving and would expect more. He only hoped that they didn't change their minds about letting families stay together. He looked back out at the garden and sighed. If only Stevens and the others had been willing to work on slowly releasing the lesser races instead of insisting on war. To be continued...[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][quote name='spy46']my responce was *its soap, whats the big deal?*[/QUOTE]Well maybe not for guys and some girls even, but personally I like using stuff that has a nice smell to it. For myself I'm rather fond of bath salts and using stuff for a nice good soak. As well as body wash that has a good scent. I've never cared for regular soap since most brands dry my skin out. I just about always use some type of body wash. Bath & Body works has some great stuff that I like to get. I'm also picky about shampoo since my hair is easily damaged by a lot of brands. I hate washing it and having it all frizzy from some shampoo I got at Wall-Mart so I tend to get something a little nicer that doesn't do that. [quote name='spy46']sure there is AXE or what ever, but in general there really isnt any thing like that for guys am i right?:confused:[/QUOTE]No, you're wrong, just do some looking around and you'll see that there is plenty of stuff for guys out there. I think someone already mentioned Old Spice. Personally I think that one actually smells pretty good. And I definately prefer a guy who smells good. Sure being clean is good enough, but smelling nice and being cute as well? That's a definite plus in my book. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]I wish I could offer you tips Prem but to be honest, I wouldn't know what to say. I've only done two rpg's so far and some of the success behind those I believe is that I had people interested in it before it ever went up in the Adventure Inn. So I already knew that people would be part of it. So like Gavin mentioned it might be a good idea to see if you can get some of your friends to join. ^_~ I think it's also a good idea to have a certain amount of plots as well as objectives worked out before you ever post it in the Adventure Inn. But then I like a certain amount of direction so it makes it easier if you already know that you will have lots for the players to do. Though that's no guarantee that people will sign up. I think another thing that affects it is if people are already doing other things. Personally I absolutely adore Star Ocean but I'm busy enough that adding another rpg to my agenda isn't going to happen. Even though I'm down to the very last post for Silver One, I'm doing a sequel so I'm busy planning for when that goes up in a short bit. I'm also currently part of Shinigami Dance as well as the dual rpg I'm running with BKstyles, Project Starship. So obviously that makes me more picky about whether or not I'll join something even if it's something I do like. I doubt I'll join the Abyss when Darren puts it up even though it's something that interests me. Anyway, I wish I had more advice but at the moment I honestly don't know what to tell you. Well other than good luck. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][quote name='2007DigitalBoy;789457][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Bah. I wouldn't advise it, but Prem already did. So I guess it's okay. Then again, Prem always seems to be in his own little world, so ut probably doesn't matter ^^;;.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Heh, I'm not planning on it, though I have to wonder if Prem did it so he'd have someone to kill off. But then like you said, Prem is often in his own world. ^_~[QUOTE=2007DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]As far as Starwind goes, if he's not here by '-------- 3' then he will be removed from the roster. BTW, like the new look.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Yeah, that's what I figured, I've been avoiding his character completely for posts since I figured it would be easier if he hadn't been talking to the others. That way he could simply show up. Anyway, thanks on the new look. Heh, lately I've been addicted to Lovely Complex. :catgirl:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]First of all [B]spy46[/B] I've mentioned to you before that using proper spelling is a must, in other words, using abbreviations like [U]GF[/U] and [U]tho[/U] are not acceptable. Just as it's important to use punctuation as well as capitalization. It just makes it a whole lot easier for other members to understand what you are trying to say. Members who continue to post without trying to improve are candidates for ban. So I expect you to work on that. Try using something like Word or Hotmail [which is free] to check your posts. Anyway, as for the actual topic. It's rare for someone to tell me I can't do a hobby that I enjoy. Or to make comments that hurt, they just don't join in. lol Also, seeing that she only said that it was weird for you to want to make a helmet like that, I fail to see how that translates into she thought it was stupid. You might want to actually ask her if she thinks it really is stupid, because it could have been nothing more than simply finding it odd. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"][COLOR="DarkRed"][quote name='2007DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Lulz, I get the distinct feeling that Lucia is a bit of a tsundere. Will have to wait and see! I will post soon. Was going to today, but was timeless.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]Pfft! Is not! [[SIZE="1"]that and I'm undecided[/SIZE]] Anyway... I'm assuming Starwind is kind of out of it at this point since he hasn't been on since the 6th. Also, are we allowed to introduce other Shinigami? NPC's to be exact. I don't plan on it but I was wondering. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR="darkred"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]And thank you very much for setting that up Rachmaninoff. Anyway, just to be clear, the information Lucia found tells her about the factions that DB mentioned at the beginning of this thread. There is more of course but I didn't see a reason to be too specific. Also an important thing to note, just as Allamorph had the Vampires take Nathan's and Adrian's things briefly, so can Lucia's things be taken. However, due to the nature of how the technology works, no one but Lucia can use them. So it wouldn't do them any good. Well other than to annoy Lucia that is. ^_~[/FONT][/COLOR]

Lucia was not expecting a lot as far as finding information about the clue, but the words Death Whispered A Lullaby did pull up on the Internet as a song. Following her directions Alex pulled it up and Lucia pulled out her communicator along with a small type of pointer. She tapped the screen with it enabling her to copy the lyrics to her communicator. "One of these days you need to tell me where you got that." Alex said as he glanced at her equipment almost enviously. But Lucia ignored the comment and instructed him to run a search on Vampires next. But the information was far to vague and the links that it pulled up were clearly not what they were looking for. "Do a search using keywords that tie into the local and higher levels of authority here on Earth." It was clear that nothing would be found through normal means. Lucia was sure that they monitored the Internet and removed information that could compromise their existence. But she was willing to bet that the government had something useful. "Lucia, if I do that I'll end up alerting the authorities, also," Alex turned giving her a knowing look. "They'll have security that will need to be bypassed. And to be honest, I've never bothered to learn how to get around it. There's no need when I can simply go through the walls to get to someone who's time has come." Lucia just smiled, "Leave the security to me, I can get around it, now search!" She watched as Alex just shrugged and did as she told him to. It didn't take too long, and just as he explained Alex had run into security designed to keep people out. "Uh Lucia, you do realize that a good amount of truly sensitive military information is also kept on a separate network? Even if we get in the front door, there won't be any access to the internal databases." But Lucia just smiled as she reached up with her pointer and tapped the screen again. Within seconds they were in. "How the hell did you do that?" Alex inquired. "Seriously Lucia, one of these days you really need to tell me where you got that." But Lucia fixed him with a look that told him to drop it. "Hunt for information about the Vampires, I'll take care of connecting us to those separate networks you mentioned." She instructed him even as she opened up something on her communicator. Lucia had a special program that once she sent it to the military's network, it would would use their own equipment to establish a link. She looked up at Alex's exclamation that he had found something and read through the notes, it wasn't a lot, just some basic information about known factions as well as suspected criminal activities. There were a few names that she copied into her communicator. Then when Alex hit a dead end referring him to another network she tapped the screen again, sending the program on it's way. Once they were done it would delete itself. "Whoa!" Both Alex and Nall could not hide their surprise when they found themselves in the internal network. Hesitantly he pulled up the menu and then entered the top files for information on known Vampire factions. But instead of reading it Lucia simply copied the files using her pointer once again. Then with another tap she ended the connection. "It would be a good idea for us to leave now. Even though they will not be able to find the program I used or trace who accessed the information. They will be able to determine that it was accessed from this location." She stood up. "Lets go back to the meeting place and review the information while we wait for Adrian." Lucia didn't wait for Alex to respond, she simply got up and left. Moments later he too was outside right behind her and then as soon as they were clear with a thought both of them took off towards the top of the building, no longer visible to human eyes. It wasn't necessary, but Lucia switched back to her full outfit and cape. It was slightly cold out, though she herself did not get chilled. Then once they had landed on the roof of the building, she pulled her communicator out and the two of them began to go through the files they had obtained.

[COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][quote name='indifference;789187][COLOR="Indigo"]It's leaving things open for all hell to break lose in so many ways since those sectors are each on the other side of the main ones in the center. That will make it impossible for Stevens to concentrate on one area since he has to defend the other side as well. [/COLOR][/QUOTE]Heh, I did that on purpose actually. I figured that if it was only sector nine it wouldn't be much of a Civil War.[QUOTE=Aaryanna'][COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I love how it worked out for Daniel and Kiva. I mean considering how good Kiva was at being an Imperial agent, I just bet Stevens was literally shocked when she ran. And it's supremely ironic that she took Daniel and the most advanced ship with her. I bet Stevens is furious! Hehe! Anyway, I'll be waiting for the next part to start, I just hope we don't have to wait to long since it's been lots of fun. That and I'm eager to see what happens. It's too bad that both Jason and Celestia are still stuck in sector one though. XP [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]I liked that too since I left it completely up to GuyYouMetOnline as to how they wanted things to go. I can easily imagine just how irritated Stevens is right about now. lol As for the next part... XP One of the reasons I've been saying it will take a little while is I'm going through the threads to put together some of the basic information for how things work. I figure that it will be handy to have in the first post of the underground thread, especially for anyone new to the rpg.[quote name='Rachmaninoff']Also, even though I'm not sure if Mike is going to factor into the next part or not I named my ship since it seems I forgot. Though that's a weird name you suggested SunfallE. But seeing that I forgot to name the ship all this time... Serves me right. XP Now... Don't keep us waiting too long for the sequel. :catgirl: I'm thinking that things are going to get very interesting with so many sectors breaking off. So seeing how that plays out will be fun. Though I have to agree with Aaryanna, sucks to be Jason and Celestia. Though I'm sure that they'll at least be happy to learn that Daniel escaped thanks to Kiva deciding to run.[/QUOTE]*pokes* That's right, it does serve you right! XP I'll explain why I gave you that name as a suggestion later. I think you'll get a kick out of it. ^_~ What's funny is I think it sucks for Jason and Celestia as well, but then once things got to that point I realized that my original plan of them being spirited away wouldn't work. It would have been to silly and cliched. XP So I guess they'll just have to wait and see what happens next. Anyway, once Aaryanna_Mom and indifference post I'll put in the final post and wrap things up! And then I'll work even more on finishing the preparations for the next stage. I've already started changing my two mini chapters so it will be a full drawn out war. And I've started working on adding a lot of other things into the overall plot as well. :catgirl:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Well it goes without saying that I've no desire to be a guy. XP So here's my entry. I'm just glad the deadline was extended. Anyway, mine came to a total of 811 words. [CENTER]***********************************************[/CENTER] SunfallE knew something was wrong when she woke up, she felt different somehow. But before she could wonder how she had been turned into a guy she found out by virtue of checking her messages that were waiting when she woke up.[I] How is this even possible? [/I]But upon reflection she knew it was a stupid question, after all, the same force had been responsible for the chaos across the boards that her and the others had worked so diligently to correct. Quickly she got dressed, grabbed her modrod and dashed out of her quarters at the Staff building and ran for the Community Events section. She ignored the strange looks from fellow members and friends as she/he prepared to enter the Bermuda Triangle event. She was reaching for the door when suddenly it flew open and a woman with long brown hair came storming out of the room and stalked off, clearly angry. She/he was about to dismiss it until she realized they were holding a modrod. [I]What? Who the hell was that?[/I] But moments later they were lost among the crowd and SunfallE now known as Sunny shrugged it off and entered the room to confront indifference. She headed towards where indifference was only to halt at the sight of Gavin and BKstyles who were attempting to compose themselves. "[B]You better not be laughing at me.[/B]" Sunny growled, feeling slightly annoyed that the two of them seemed to find the whole situation funny. BKstyles just gave her a look that said how could he not laugh. Sunny just sighed. [I]Great, I get turned into a guy and all they can do is laugh! [/I] She started to get angry but was distracted when indifference spoke up. "[B]Well it is funny,[/B]" She gave Sunny a look as if daring her/him to disagree and then she snickered. "[B]Besides Rach... I mean Romona is just too adorable when she's angry.[/B]" Sunny started to protest and then stopped. [I]Wait, then that girl was...? [/I] Sunny sat down hard, suddenly depressed to no end. "[B]Just tell me you have something for me to go on. I'd rather not be a guy for the rest of my life.[/B]" "[B]It seems that the antidote landed in a place that is related to your origins here at OtakuBoards.[/B]" Sunny looked up at indifference while ignoring Gavin and BKstyles who were still amused. "[B]So it's in my own posts or pms?[/B]" "[B]That would be my guess.[/B]" indifference assured her/him. With a sigh Sunny got up but not before glaring at BKstyles a bit. "[B]You know, it's NOT funny.[/B]" "[B]Sure it is, I mean who names a boy Sunny?[/B]" "[B]BKstyles,[/B]" Sunny said, a hint of a whine entering his voice, "[B]Sunny is a unisex name given to both guys and girls.[/B]" But BKstyles just raised an eyebrow and gave her/him a look that said, sure, you keep telling yourself that. Disgusted, Sunny turned and left. Later, once she'd gotten back to normal she'd zap him and Gavin for laughing. But as Sunny left the Events section and took a look at how many posts and pm's he had he couldn't help but feel frustrated. There were so many posts and pm's to look through! Between the two that meant he had close to 2,800 items to check. [I]Man, this is gonna take forever![/I] And what if the antidote wasn't in any of them? Sunny looked at the sheer massive size of OtakuBoards.[I] If it's not in my own posts or pm's... I'm gonna end up being a guy forever. [/I] Sunny shook his head and started hunting. It took him a while but eventually he made it through all of his posts, but unfortunately, nothing was there. So he started on his pm's, but as he got to the very last one several days later, still nothing was found. [I]Now what?[/I] He wondered. Where in the world could the antidote be? If it wasn't in her own posts or pm's then were would something about her origins at OtakuBoards be? [I]Think idiot![/I] Sunny thought as he paced back and forth, oblivious to the strange looks he was getting. Then it hit! [I]Of course! It has to be there![/I] Sunny took off to the Otakupedia section of the boards to check the article about SunfallE, it was the only place left that talked about her origins on the boards. And sure enough nestled neatly inside the article was a green vial of what had to be the antidote. Eagerly he/she took the foul tasting medicine and then breathed a sigh of relief as she felt her body return to normal. A quick moment to shoot off a pm to indifference that she had found it and then SunfallE pulled her modrod out. "[B]BKstyles! Gavin![/B]" She called out, startling a number of members near her. "[B]I'll show you two what's funny![/B]"[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]All right, I've sent everyone an objective for the first phase of dealing with what has required the Argo Navis to drop out of hyperspace. If there are any questions or something is not clear, don't hesitate to ask. Once we get to a certain point I will be sending out the next set of objectives that relate to this incident. Anyway, lets have some fun! :catgirl:[/FONT][/COLOR]
