See? Now you have a reason to join in!

*fumbles with microphone*
Uh, ED here. Sorry about the previous posts, I was testing my spambot-terminator and it got control. (That's a terminator of spambots, not a spambot which is a terminator. Though I guess the point could be argued either way.)
So where should I deploy it?

Day 2, Time Approx like four minutes after my last log you idiot why are you even reading this?

Technician hacked the pods doors open easily and stepped out. He was in a bay of some sort. "Hello?"

Attempt At Communication With Doctor Bright 2
Dr.Bright: So you've decided to accept the reality of the situation?
Bella: No. But I figure if a madman is my best chance of seeing my friends again i'm willing to give you a shot.
Dr.Bright: Well I am very mad.
Bella: So you admit your sanity?
Dr.Bright: No. I'm furious that you still refuse to believe me despite the overwhelming evidence.
Bella: There's been no evidence apart from everyone disappearing that you're telling the truth.
Dr.Bright: Well then, you remember that cube you found in the generator?
Bella: How could you possibly know about that?
Dr.Bright: I know a great deal of things about pocket dimensions.
Bella: So does this happen in every pocket dimension?
Dr.Bright: No, lucky guess.
Bella: A bit too lucky for my taste...
Dr.Bright: Could you hand it to me please?
(I hand the cube to Dr.Bright and he scans it under Whizz's computer.)
Bella: Nothing's showing up... just weird symbols.
Dr.Bright: You're wrong. This is an ancient dialect from a little country called Mongolia.
Bella: How ancient?
Dr.Bright: 698 B.C. to be precise.
Bella: That's not possible, all languages from that time are dead.
Dr.Bright: And that's where you're wrong.
Bella: Fine, whatever you say. What does it say?
Dr.Bright: It says to be exact, sometimes human beings under extreme stress will go into a coma. Physically, they are the equivalent of a squashed vegetable. But mentally, they are extremely active. This is because they have entered a mental high. During this high they will go into a world of their own design. This world will either be the perfect utopia or an absolute nightmare. Eventually they will receive notification that they are asleep and that they must WAKE UP. If they do not heed this warning and WAKE UP they will die completely and slip into limbo where they will reside forever. So please, WAKE UP! WAKE UP NOW!
Bella: I'm guessing this is supposed to be some sort of wake up call?
Dr.Bright: No, it's some sort of hint. I'll go back to my cell now and mull things over.
Bella: You don't mind?
Dr.Bright: Like I said, I've been in a prison all my life.
Bella: Will you ever explain half the things you say?
Dr.Bright: Probably not until I fade from existence.
Bella: Fine, be all mysterious. I'll enjoy figuring out what the hell is happening while you do that.
(I bring Dr.Bright back to his cell and lock his door)

I am currently waiting for him to be willing to talk to me again. I'm not sure how long that may take, but this madman may be my only hope of escaping whatever i'm trapped in.

I seem to be receiving a transmission from one Benford and wife.
The good thing is, we have a hidden spaceship!
The other good thing is, it has warp technology!
So we don't even have to ride there, which could take days on end.
And we don't have that kind of time.
I'm bringing my healing conduits.
[END TRANSMISSION]
[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]
So we made it to the Valles Marineris. We are currently docking.
We exit and make our way to where the signal first came.
I say hello to Benford's wife and make my way over to Benford.
The Conduits come and begin applying their healing powers to the man's back.
The healing is finished.
I tell Benford's wife that her husband needs to rest so that the healing can do it's full work.
We say goodbye and leave.

OOC:... Whizz, you know that you could be executed if their citizens thought you were trying to hurt their king, right?

Day 2, Time Approx like four minutes after my last log you idiot why are you even reading this?


Technician hacked the pods doors open easily and stepped out. He was in a bay of some sort. "Hello?"


Day 103 0400 (Orbit, DSec 2)
Since the pod was open, Techno left the ship in the landing bay of the orbit station. However, it was soon ambushed by a group of the Enemy (OOC: Yes, I'm still calling them that for now...). The loading bay was soon flooded with a multitude of voices advertising one thing or another "...Nose is upon you!" "Have a cold? Try..." Sev, being somewhat confused by the noise, grabbed a sword that was lying by the door and stepped out, brandishing it wildly. By a lucky stroke, he hit one of the units, covering everything in sparks. However, it seemed all was lost, seeing that more units came in as their comrades fell. Then there was a large explosion on the side, by one of the doors, sending several of The Enemy everywhere. In the midst of the carnage, a lithe purple figure could be seen, holding a blade shining with a palpable fire. Sev then realised that the figure was helping, and continued focusing on his battle. By the blast hole in the wall, a humanoid figure could be seen. However, it was creating more of the enemy, and each one was larger and seemingly more formidable than the last. The figure then began to fight, not against the Enemy, though it was intercepted by a blue streak. The blue streak had come from a cannon mounted on the back of what appeared to be a large silver cat. The cat, now covered in glowing lines bounded over and started talking to the figure in an indecipherable language. There then appeared to be an argument, as the humanoid figure straightened up and began to draw a blade it was carrying on its back. The cat then changed into a slightly smaller wolf-like creature, all the while arguing in that strange language. The humanoid figure then put the blade away and jumped off the hole, landing on its ship. The wolf-like creature straightened up and became Techno, still covered in lines, but ones that were barely glowing and would not be able to be easily seen at a glance. "Come," it said "It is not the best to stay here, for it is not safe."

OOC: :3 So, we met the Spambot general? :3

Technician quickly glanced at the Spambot General, apparently they were having some sort of Parley. Now, little known fact about Technician, bit of a genius. He had quickly tried to hack both Techno (Baaaaaaaaaad fail.) the Spambot general (Faiiiiiiiil.) and then he attempted to hack a Spambot. Also a fail. So when given instructions he followed the Nanobot thing.

"Do you want to meet hispanic hot girls in your area?" he could feel that and more spam.

"Eh, where are we going."

Insert op hidden ship. Also tech is hacking that Ray sphere so hard hard soon

OOC: Not really. :p We only have 2, but my character plans on making a third... One's a fighter with almost no weaponry, since my character isn't a good fighter, but can make things. Also, there's an OP ship, but it belongs to the spambots... My ships are all OP, but only with some defences. XD Of course, it looks like the OP ship will be Whizzkid's...

OOC: Yeah, Hacking a sentient being never works well. :3

The nanobot thing responded. "A safe place." Quickly following up the sentence was "Would you like a set of armor?". Upon receiving a response, Techno gave a curt nod and went off to a side room, leaving Sev in the weapons lab.

WOAH WHAT THE HELL THE WHAT PLANET IS GETTING ICED?

OOC: No, it's getting exploded. :3 Also, it's the one where all this started. :D

Oh no no no no.
Earth is never getting exploded.
You are not letting Earth explode.
I'll bend existence if I have to.

OOC:

Start Trasmission
Hi there, I'm Tech. I read every file WHILE I WAS FLOATING IN SPACE AND YOU DIDN'T HELP.

So, I know all about your seriously retarded "Ray Sphere" (I can hack that from HERE, JSYK. Also you're playing with fire buddy.)

Oh hurr durr I'm in a different universe and I can change bend existence if I have to.

Female dog, please.

First of all, I just said that out of rage.
There will be no Earth exploding in this town.
Ad the Ray Sphere has nothing to do with tech.
It relies entirely on Conduit Energy to run.

[The following Section is an Out of Character area]
  1. The Ray sphere has to be made of something, and to scan, it needs to be made of tech, that isn't to say that it is powered in such a way.
  2. You don't bend existence, existence bends you. Anyway, you're off in an alternate dimension, so the world exploding wouldn't change much for you.
  3. I am letting the planet explode. I didn't say it was Earth.
  4. And having the planet explode due to Exedra bending time in the first place is a good consequence. You change time, now look what you've done.
  5. If you had kept it simple, like you had to use your 'augmentations' to control it, it could have been a ball of dirt and .sev() wouldn't try to hack it as much.
Technician (aka. Sev):
  1. According to whizz, conduits are kind of superpowered people who are powered (augmented, or whatever) by sucking the energy out of a lot of other people. [Which, by the way, I think is very inefficient.] This changes their fundamental energies... you know.
  2. What I said about bending the universe/existence thing. An example of this is Bella used to be a Boy. Exedra bent time and shot who he thought started all this. Now Bella is no longer male.
Rymmie:
  1. I'm slightly confused... Is Rymmie and the High Overlord of the Azurian Empire the same person? If not, please elaborate.
[End OOCA]
[Retort initiated]
Well, I can bend time... Since I didn't start anywhere in particular, I get a great deal more freedom to tinker with things. :3
[End Retort]
Day 105 0900 (Orbit Station. DSec 2)
While everyone on the orbit station was asleep, Tech slipped around, picking up old bits and pieces. What it was working on was a mystery, even to the unit lurking in the corner, seemingly invisible. Unfortunately for the unit, it was spotted by a restless turtle, which picked it up, and carried it down. The unit then exploded. However, the sound was not heard through the walls, where the only two biological organisms here were sleeping, in their separate rooms. The small, glowing figure appeared to walk straight through a solid wall, but instead of walking into space, it walked into a room where the very walls were glowing and things flew, without any kind of seeming assistance. It was here that the shell of a ship laid. Sev's pod lay outside the room, in the hangar. The pod fitted perfectly onto the ship, being one of the better things to use for a cockpit. As soon as the structural processes were finished, the carrier was taken to the hangar, and was put on the ceiling, a tight nook that appeared to be filled with boxes. As for the breach in the Hangar, that was quickly mended.
Down below, the Ray Sphere shuddered and began to move, though slowly. It then started to glow a malevolent green and began to store energy, something that it had not done for many millenia.

OOC: Yeah, I can shapeshift... So what... I'm made of nanobots, anyway. :3 And thanks to whizz's idea to add technology to magic, the ray sphere now may turn against us... And may or may not become sentient... :3

1. It's made from Imperial Tech. Remember how I said that I created the gene thousands of years earlier?
2. I'm not off in an alternate dimension. All the universes are in the same multiverse. I'm also in the Solar System at the moment. The Emperor can cut existence into pieces, I can bend it.
3. Yay!
4. You are right, but then how would the part of the story in which we save the entire multiverse from imploding come to pass? If we save the entire Multiverse from imploding, the Emperor will regard Humans with a bit (a lot) more significance.
5. Kept what simple?

Technician 1. It used to be that way, when I thought humans were insignificant. It's now plants.

And the Ray Sphere is in my hands, on Earth. Or at least in my pocket. I can shrink it and fit it into the palm of my hand.
I could also store it in a pocket dimension.
And the Ray Sphere currently does not take Human Energy.
I specifically modified it only to take plant energy.

*Begin transmission*

Alright, I have a bit of a confession to make. I think I may have been born augmented. I don't know which side it's from, mother or father, but ever since childhood, I have unable, without being out of range, to miss any target or enemy I shoot. No matter what weapon, if I am in range, I will be able to hit it. The projectiles even seem to be given a hug boost of energy as I shoot them.
This is the reason I was such a successful fighter pilot, as well as the fact I was pretty much trained from a kid to be a one.
So yeah, anyone need a fighter, or a sniper, or whatever, until me whizz, Gpuzzle and Bella do teh time-jump, I'm your man

You are the emperor?!
I thought you were like, someone else, and that the Emperor was somewhere else.
Whatwhatwhat...
Omg.
I thought you weren't the Emperor!
Goodness Gracious.
I wouldn't have pulled that earlier stunt if I had known you were the emperor!
I would just teleport to the other side of the guards, well out of their line of sight.

Ooh, the Empress about to die is leverage...

Make people immortals!
Tada!
Of course I won't actually use it unless you really really really want your wife to not die...
