Ok then, I'll just make it as a repository.

I'm alright with that.

Anyway.

*not-a-craptop*
the_j wants some backup, in the form of ground troops. I've got a laptop-club and a railgun. I wonder if I'd qualify as a one man army. Probably not.

If I can find out where the guy is, I'll stop by anyway, I'm not of much use here at base anyway.

Spambot base, though...ooh, this is going to be dangerous. I've gotten soft, and I initially avoided bots at all costs while roughing it. I think online gaming has made me more agressive. I need to play thief in skyrim for awhile.

I wonder if this laptop has games from the future. Probably not, since it only has my files. Still.

Hey if you can get Nose out of there, I can get you there and provide air support if you like.

Alright, I've decided to give the red kite a rest, and I've taken up my old hobby of archery(I used to do it actually, IRL). This is to train for this mission of whizz's, which I am requesting to be part of, the one into time and shizzle.

OOC: Jess, my character pretty much activated the better functions of the laptop it felt you were wasting. :p

Day 90 1300 (Weapons Laboratory, Orbit Station, DSec 2)
Well, from the readings I've been getting off that laptop.... it's being used as a weapon... I can't say that that's the best use for it... With the integrated powergen and all... Well, If I remember right...


>Superuser detected. Hiding superuser presence.
ΔΩ>Activate e-field.
>Done.
>Superuser disconnected. Closing Remote UI.

There we go. Haven't exactly done that before, but no harm testing it, if it fails, it would still be sturdy... Now for this armor. If I am to make it compatible with the organisms here, then it should still work. If my memory of this DSec's biological statistics is correct, then I'll have to rewrite this programming to be more adaptive, seeing that cells do not behave the same as nanobots. An integrated power source wouldn't be the best idea... But I could have it contain a high-density, low-weight supercapacitor, and have it pull energy from around it. And since the person who wants this particular set owns that laptop, I think integration will be handy. I don't think the other creatures would mind me copying their weaponry, so long as it will not be reverse-engineered. I still have the plans for a rift gun that I got once... I never did use it, because I don't tend to use too much weaponry. I never need it. There they are. Just here. I know I left some plans on that laptop, but transferring a few gigabytes of hidden data should be quite easy.

>Hidden Data transmission request detected. Correct identification presented. Initiating Hidden Transfer. Ignoring IP Address...
1s>Transmitting Data. (14GB, 10GB/s)
2s>Removing transfer from logs.
2.5s>Transfer ended. Interface Closed.

Now that those plans are here, I can probably build this... But perhaps not... Rift guns are a bit unstable... but there was something else I could potentially use on the back... Yes, I can certainly use this on both sets of armor. What this is, for other people who do not come from D5, S6, this is a weapon that relies on bioelectricity, it amplifies however much it receives via induction, and stores it. Upon firing, it draws on the stored energy to fire a dangerous energetic bolt. Yep, that'll do plenty. From my understanding, I could employ the weapon's mechanics into a blade... I know the perfect material to use for a sheath. Similar to the rest of the armor, perhaps surprisingly, since they are dimensions apart. Both have a crystalline appearance with a simple glance. But both types of material have a very high energetic density. Now I should be able to utilise that geometric data connection between this station and that laptop to teleport this stuff to the correct place. And I'll hide this other set in the cockpit of the fighter.

Day 90 1600 (Transporter bay, Orbit Station, DSec 2) ETPE: 70 DSec2Days
Now to lug this other set around... There we go. If I were to... Compress this... It should fit into a typical bag here, weapons and all. Now if I put this into that massive dent into the middle - which I have yet to fix - Then we should be fine. There. It's gone, and should be there already.

>Physical Data packet detected. Superuser monitor presence also detected. Hiding superuser presence.
ΔΩ>Recreate physical data packet
>Package recreated on top of device.
>Superuser disconnected.

OOC: :3

Day 91 0600 (Orbit Station, DSec 2)
I intercepted something today...
Network:Overriding all data connections.
Network:Transmitting Anonymous Broadcast on all Frequencies.
[BROADCAST]
...IF YOU DO NOT MEET OUR DEMANDS, THEN..
[/BROADCAST INTERRUPTED]
I already know half of their plan, my suspicions having been correct. I have mostly mended the transporter floor, bar a slight indentation, which should be fixed by now. I have no idea on what they intend to base their threats on, but I have every intention of finding out.

OOC: So, what'll be your armor's speciality, the_j?

OOC: He can, when it existed, at the time. Since my char tends to build things out of time, he'll be fine. All it really has to do is look like a piece of steel-plated armor.

Apparently the break did send some spambots (they aren't really bots) back in time. They are causing the chaos and trying to stop the industrial revolution. Why? I guess we'll find out later.

OOC: I've been writing stories since I was around six years old. The Empire is one of the worldspaces I've made. Actually, every story I've ever written has been in some part of the same existence. I think I have around ten thousand pages of backstory. I really, really need to finish one of my novels.

Judging from your plot stuffs, I'm sure I'll hear of you sometime in my life.
[In case you didn't know, that means you are probably going to be famous]

Day 100 (Orbit Station, DSec 2) Estimated time of full threat carry-out: 50 Days
Having done a little research into what whizzkid calls 'conduits' I can't say I approve, but until one of them decides to go power crazy, I won't crack down on them. Personally, 'augmentations' have no effect on me. I tend to break them. Hm... Across Time is a little more power consuming, and despite what Rymmie thinks, I am not playing 'God', whatever that is. Now if I were to change this set for the purposes of artillery... that should do. We'll see how he likes it.
T<Teleporter configuration set
T<BioLock target activated
T<Teleporting Package...

Day 100 In response to Techno:
Do note that I did not augment the Conduits myself.
Other people did.
I have never liked the fact that you had to kill thousands of people just to augment a person.
Which is why I held back on the message about augmenting people until I found a different way to augment them.
Which I now have.

:O Whizz! I'm so sad that you haven't picked up on my subtle plot hints. I'm disappointed. My son, you are no longer one of the cool kids. rymmie is replacing you as lead pot dealer.

Day 100
8:00
Holy shit I slept for a long time. I kind of want to go back to sleep but I need to feed Dr. Bright.
8:20
Whelp, he's gone and escaped. Ungrateful bastard. Time to find out why nobody woke me up.

Let me guess...
The breaks will lead us to Rymmie's universe stuffs?
