[21:22] <Chamelaeon> <<SESSION SIXTEEN, TAKEOFF!>>
[21:23] <Chamelaeon> <<After a rather tough battle with Black Bean and a rather
mediocre showdown with Red Bean, the group reunited on the platform in front of
the Messenger, faced with a door they couldn't seem to open.>>
[21:23] <Isis> ( I pick the lock using Vernon's collarbone! )
[21:23] <Vernon> (...)
[21:24] <Chamelaeon> <<The door is centered in the middle of the 1-mile-across
Messenger, and it's about 30x30 feet. There are no visible handles, locks,
switches, or anything else, for that matter. It's featureless.>>
[21:25] <Chamelaeon> <<The platform is littered with sensors, computers, and
cabling, all of it focused on the door. The terminals are on and logged in,
mostly displaying logs of previous attempts. [/END EXPOSITION!]>>
[21:26] <Tim> ...so.
[21:27] * Isis is quiet. Probably because she's scanning her suit's saved data
for the schematic for the Messenger.
[21:27] <Chamelaeon> <<As the sounds of the fight finally stop echoing
throughout the huge chamber, the door starts to shimmer - almost becoming
transparent, in a way. A pattern looks like it's forming.>>
[21:28] * Tim watches in awe. *_*
[21:28] * Vernon stares. "Fascinating..."
[21:28] * Tim makes sure he's recording this, too.
[21:28] * Illyana is watching. The dang door's finally doing something.
[21:28] * Isis blinks. A few times. "This... is mildly disturbing."
[21:29] * Charlie hmms.
[21:30] * Chako is just standing there quietly, mainly, looking between the door
and the ground below.
[21:31] *** Kei (lina@12.109.93.134) has joined #atc
[21:31] *** Isis (lina@12.109.93.134) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by
peer)
[21:31] *** Kei is now known as Isis
[21:31] <Isis> ( I need... lots of repost. x.x )
[21:31] <Chamelaeon> (What'd you last see?)
[21:32] <Isis> ( My own last line. )
[21:33] <Chamelaeon> [21:29] * Charlie hmms.
[21:33] <Chamelaeon> [21:30] * Chako is just standing there quietly, mainly,
looking between the door and the ground below.
[21:33] <Chamelaeon> (Whee. Stupid paste.)
[21:33] *** Hope is now known as Atom
[21:34] * Isis frowns. "ATC tried to extract the schematics and other raw data I
took from the museum. Emphasis on *tried*. It may sound a little strange, but...
it seems as if it encrypted itself. I can still access it."
[21:35] <Vernon> Hmm, so you can't transfer it...but can you describe it?
[21:35] <Chamelaeon> <<The pattern finally clears up. It covers the whole door,
and looks like http://chamelaeon.sandwich.net/rpg/images/MsngDoor.jpg <--
this.>>
[21:36] <Tim> Interesting...
[21:36] * Illyana peers at the pattern, and pokes the spot in the middle.
[21:37] * Isis nods. "I can... 'show' it to you, per se. Audio and visual data
aren't corrupted. ATC retrieved that, in fact... but as you can see, they didn't
succeed."
[21:37] <Chamelaeon> <<Illy's finger stops about a millimeter from the actual
door. It fails to respond.>>
[21:37] * Vernon nods.
[21:38] * Isis turns to the door. The data doesn't have a "key". It mentions
that there are three fields based on three of the quantum forces... the strong
and weak nuclear force, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
[21:39] <Isis> ( *puts "s in there* )
[21:39] * Charlie looks over one of the terminals.
[21:39] <Chamelaeon> <<The terminals are displaying standard text logs, all of
them ending in "Today's experiment ... failed.">>
[21:39] * Isis points to the three triangular marks. "I'm guessing those three
are the actual 'keys'. Focal points for the fields, maybe?"
[21:40] <Tim> Could be.
[21:41] * Isis mms. "I'm guessing local gravity would make a gravitational
'lock' unstable."
[21:41] <Isis> ( I can't believe I actually know the four fundamental forces.
Where did I even LEARN that? )
[21:42] <Tim> Possibly. Or it could be the required key. Either way.
[21:43] <Charlie> hmm, Seems like they didn't even get this pattern to show up.
[21:44] * Isis nods. "It feels like it 'reacted' to something when we arrived."
[21:44] * Vernon nods.
[21:44] * Tim nods, then grins. "Looks like we're ahead. Again."
[21:44] * Tim walks over to a device he looks at and starts examining it.
[21:44] * Chako looks at the door a little more carefully, and then shrugs to
herself. "Ya got me. Just looks like a bunch of crosswired circuts. Or a
coloring book." She looks back to the ground for another second.
[21:45] <Charlie> Their logs are going to be useless. *he goes back to looking
at the door.*
[21:45] <Isis> But that seems a little backwards, doesn't it? If these were
meant to be opened by cultures across the universe... why would it react to
something we had to go to Sleythin to get?
[21:45] <Isis> ( Must... not... type... 'slytherin'... )
[21:45] <Chamelaeon> <<The triangle marks have little notches on the vertex
opposite the longer side. For instance, the upper-left one is pointing
upper-left.>>
[21:47] <Tim> I ...think this might help.
[21:47] <Charlie> Didn't those little robots say these things had the directions
to the bodyslides and such? .. wonder what did make the pattern show.
[21:47] * Vernon peers over at Tim. "What is it?"
[21:48] <Tim> Particle accelerator.
[21:48] <Vernon> Ah.
[21:48] <Isis> ( God bless sci-fi tech. )
[21:49] <Isis> ( I mean, unless Tim just DID pull a stadium out of his pocket. )
[21:50] <Chamelaeon> (Miniaturization's the waaaaaaaaave of THE FUTURE!, baby.)
[21:50] <Tim> ( Or this could just be the 'nozzle' for a much larger unit. )
[21:53] <Charlie> I saw in the logs there that they already tried shooting
particle streams at the thing..
[21:53] <Tim> Isis, do you know which force to direct at which of the markings?
[21:54] * Isis shakes her head. "No... but. Do we have any other data from the
Sleythins? Something that might *mention* the forces? For a comparison..."
[21:55] * Isis blinks. "Wait a moment."
[21:55] * Tim frowns. "Dunno.
[21:55] * Tim notices another accelerator and starts rigging it up, too.
[21:55] * Isis points. "Strong nuclear force to the top left, weak to the right.
Electromagnetic at the bottom."
[21:58] <Chamelaeon> <<The accelerators set up very easily.>>
[21:59] <Tim> Okay. Might wanna get out of the way, y'know.
[22:00] * Vernon steps well aside.
[22:00] * Chako was very happily out of the way.
[22:01] <Chamelaeon> (By the way, 4000 points to anyone who can recognize the
origin of the diagram inside the circle.)
[22:01] * Illyana makes sure she's not in the way.
[22:01] <Illyana> ( Super Mario 2! )
[22:01] <Chamelaeon> (Nope.)
[22:01] <Illyana> ( You pick up the key, and then the evil mask comes after you!
)
[22:01] <Illyana> ( Oh, come on. That's the Key from Super Mario 2 :P )
[22:01] <Chamelaeon> (Older than that.)
[22:02] * Tim sets up the accelerators and activates them.
[22:02] <Atom> ( Super Mario 2 is.. Doki Doki Panic, I'm afraid. )
[22:02] <Tim> ( ::wonders what the special effects department will do with
this:: )
[22:02] <Atom> ( Super Mario 2 is Mario All Stars: The Lost Level. I figure a
master gamer like you would know that. )
[22:02] <Illyana> ( I do. )
[22:02] <Illyana> ( But I live in America, where it's Super Mario Bros. 2 )
[22:03] <Chamelaeon> <<The accelerators hum ominously, and turn on. Nothing
seems to happen, though. At least, for a second. After that, the two top arrows
start to glow, and then slowly rotate till the notches are pointing towards the
center.>>
[22:03] <Illyana> ( Tron, perhaps? :P )
[22:03] <Chamelaeon> (Closer, but still no.)
[22:04] <Atom> ( Ah, Pong. )
[22:05] <Chamelaeon> (Nope. Answer - it's the circuit diagram from the movie
Explorers.)
[22:06] <Illyana> ( To wha? :P )

[22:10] <Tim> ( Hey, I never left. )
[22:11] <Tim> ( Weird. o_O )
[22:12] * Tim starts fiddling with something on his suit.
[22:12] <Chamelaeon> <<UnPause.>>
[22:14] <Tim> Aaand this should be it. Hopefully you won't get any noise out of
it.
[22:15] * Isis nods once. "Now, here's the question. How do we keep people from
just wandering in after us without sealing ourselves in?"
[22:15] <Chamelaeon> <<The final triangle glows, then rotates towards the
center. The three triangles pulse once, then keep glowing.>>
[22:15] <Chamelaeon> <<The door fails to move.>>
[22:16] <Tim> Uhm. Good question.
[22:17] <Charlie> Stand Chako in front of the door? *he winks*
[22:17] * Isis raises an eyebrow. "Perhaps I spoke too soon."
[22:17] * Chako smirks. "Hey, something I can handle."
[22:17] * Tim chuckles.
[22:18] <Tim> Although... we might not have that problem, just yet.
[22:19] <Charlie> (any of the lines on the door doing anything?)
[22:19] <Chamelaeon> <<Not a thing.>>
[22:19] * Isis hmms. "Perhaps now we apply Tim's concept of a gravity 'key'? The
gravitational constant of Sleythin, maybe? How do we alter a gravity field that
precise to begin with?"
[22:19] * Tim hums.
[22:19] <Isis> ( Naming for a sec. )
[22:19] *** Isis is now known as Todd
[22:19] *** Todd is now known as Isis
[22:19] <Tim> Illyana, if I remember right, your suit has a graviton gun, right?
[22:20] <Illyana> Somethink alonk those lines, yes.
[22:21] <Tim> That should do it, with some tweaking.
[22:21] * Isis raises an eyebrow, somewhat impressed. "How convenient."
[22:22] <Tim> Innit?
[22:22] <Tim> Next I'll show you how to cook things with some of Chako's guns,
and season them with others.
[22:22] * Vernon ponder.
[22:22] * Tim gets cracking on Illy's suit. *tinker*
[22:22] <Vernon> (ponders.)
[22:23] * Chako grins. "Nothin' like cookin' on the field."
[22:23] <Tim> Hmm. Actually...
[22:23] * Illyana eyes Tim.
[22:25] * Tim stops tinkering before really starting. "You should be able to do
it with this as-is. Just tweak the output with the software."
[22:25] <Illyana> I am avare of how to operate my own veapon.
[22:26] * Tim smirks. "Good to hear."
[22:31] <Isis> ( Any time now. )
[22:31] * Illyana puts her palm to the door. The blast forms up around her elbow
and streaks down her arm. There's a ripple in the space between her palm and the
door.
[22:32] <Tim> ( Theeeere we go. )
[22:32] <Chamelaeon> <<The center diagram on the door glows, and pulses shoot
down the lines. There is a rumbling noise.>>
[22:33] * Isis blinks. "Huh. I feel vaguely gratified. It was just a guess."
[22:34] * Tim grins.
[22:34] <Chamelaeon> <<The rumbling increases, actually starting to shake the
platform and the asteroid.>>
[22:34] <Tim> Good guess, then.
[22:35] * Tim tries to brace himself.
[22:36] * Isis blinks. "Perhaps a bit too much torque, Illyana?" She glances
around. "Is the whole Messenger moving? Something of that calibre is going to
attract unwanted attention."
[22:36] <Chamelaeon> <<As the rumbling increases, the door actually... melts
away.>>
[22:36] <Isis> ( Well, so much for locking it behind us. )
[22:36] * Chako says, "It's not like much of anyone is left alive here... hey,
it worked."
[22:37] <Chamelaeon> <<And the rumbling fades.>>
[22:37] <Charlie> nobody coming toward us on sensors.
[22:38] * Illyana heads in.
[22:38] * Charlie avoids the accelerators and goes in as well.
[22:39] * Isis sighs. "What about Lisa?"
[22:39] * Tim goes in, grinning ear to ear and generally succombing to
kid-in-candystore syndrome.
[22:39] <Chamelaeon> <<Beyond the door is actually black - matte black. You
can't see anything through it. As the people ahead of you head in, their images
... fizzle and fade out of sight, really.>>
[22:39] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa does not appear to be on the platform.>>
[22:40] <Isis> ( Don't go! Field of flowers! Dark Falz! I've SEEN IT HAPPEN! )
[22:40] <Tim> ( Join us, Isis. It's bliss. )
[22:40] <Chamelaeon> <<For those of you inside the Messenger, things have gotten
weird.>>
[22:41] * Chako blinks at Isis' statement, and looks back to where Lisa WAS and
frowns. "Where the hell did she go? Aw, christ."
[22:41] * Isis raises an eyebrow. "Double agent?" Boy, she's paranoid.
[22:41] * Vernon follows.
[22:42] * Isis pauses, then amends her statement: "More to the point, her
loyalty is to ATC. I'd be lying if I said mine was, at the moment. But the
reality is... she was in no state to go *anywhere* on her own."
[22:42] <Isis> ( "You hear that, people recording my suit audio? I HATE YOU. AND
YOUR ASS FACE. Bite my depleted-uranium pillow." )
[22:43] * Chako nods. "I'll agree on that one. If you're shaken through your
suit, that's somethin'." She looks into the darkness. "Anyway, we'd better join
'em in case there's a bug or something." She grins, and walks through.
[22:44] * Isis sighs. "Nothing we can do now." She draws her sword and heads
into the Messenger.
[22:45] <Chamelaeon> <<Inside, there is light around you for about four of five
feet, and then cuts off abruptly. Sound is odd, almost echoing before you speak
and stopping dead the moment you finish it.>>
[22:46] * Tim looks around. "Nice."
[22:46] <Chamelaeon> <<You can see a hollowed out passage, unlit except by the
strange pseudolight from your suits. It goes on straight.>>
[22:47] * Isis mutters. "Not big on light, I see. Maybe it makes them sleepy."
[22:47] * Illyana is, presumeably, well on her way in.
[22:48] * Vernon is looking around as best he can, and trying to stick close to
the others.
[22:48] * Tim heads along the passage.
[22:49] <Chamelaeon> <<The passageway caps in a small circular room, with ....
another door in it!>>
[22:49] <Chako> No light makes me itchy... aw, space above!
[22:50] * Tim looks around. "Please tell me this one has a handle."
[22:50] * Isis says something unpleasant in Japanese, then tries accessing the
schematic data again. A *map* would be nice.
[22:51] * Tim blinks. "My goodness, Isis."
[22:52] * Isis raises an eyebrow, then chuckles. "You don't train grunts for a
number of years, without picking something up."
[22:52] <Chamelaeon> <<This door has a small lens in it, and nothing else. As
you get near it, the lens starts ... jumping around on the door. Not actually
moving, but suddenly one place and then another.>>
[22:52] <Isis> ( Aw, screw that. This one we just blow down! )
[22:52] <Chako> (I agree completely!)
[22:52] <Tim> ( Click on the lens and win $20! )
[22:52] <Vernon> (Fascinating...)
[22:52] <Isis> ( "If this door is flashing, a winner is you!" )
[22:53] * Isis grumbles at the map. "This is not the only one. This passage
continues to spiral inward, and there's... a number of doors."
[22:54] * Isis taps her fingers on the hip of her suit (*clannkclankclank*) "The
only readable data says something about lasers. Maybe you have to hit the lens?"
[22:54] <Tim> I think we can handle that. Chako?
[22:56] * Chako mutters. "Too many doors." She grins. "On it." She brings up her
right arm, and starts aiming.
[22:56] * Isis clears her throat. "Something smaller than an orbital strike is
probably best."
[22:57] * Chako grins. "Hey, they don't give me orbital weapons. Dunno why, it'd
make things a lot easier, really."
[22:57] <Isis> ( I am suddenly put in mind of the BGC Fuzion RPG. Nene had a
laser gun specially made for this stuff! She used it to sign rocks! )
[22:57] <Tim> Right. Chako? Be subtle. Ish.
[22:57] * Chako peers, and fires her boring right arm laser at the lens.
[22:58] <Chako> 2d6-3
[22:58] * Atom rolls for Chako (2d6-3) and gets 5.
[22:58] <Chako> (A good shooter is me.)
[22:59] <Chamelaeon> <<Chako's hit scores the door exactly in the space where
the lens last was. The door is unmarked.>>
[22:59] * Tim blinks.
[22:59] <Vernon> Hmmm.
[23:00] * Tim has the sudden urge to start a betting pool.
[23:00] * Isis sighs and looks around the room.
[23:00] * Chako mutters, "Too damn fast," and takes aim again.
[23:01] <Chako> 2d6-3
[23:01] * Atom rolls for Chako (2d6-3) and gets 3.
[23:01] <Chako> (A better shooter is me!)
[23:02] <Chamelaeon> <<Chako's laser spears the lens straight on. It glows a
cheery green and the door slides up.>>
[23:02] <Vernon> Impressive.
[23:02] <Vernon> You're as good as they said.
[23:02] * Tim gives Chako a thumbs-up.
[23:03] <Vernon> (*prepares to die*)
[23:03] <Isis> ( ...SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE. *stabs Vernon* )
[23:03] * Chako grins. "Better, I bet."
[23:03] <Isis> ( They have my baby. )
[23:03] * Isis frowns and looks *ahead* to the next door as she walks. What a
prepared little ninja she is.
[23:04] * Tim walks also.
[23:04] * Illyana goes forwards.
[23:04] * Vernon does likewise.
[23:04] * Chako walks on as well, and whistles a little tune for a couple
seconds.
[23:05] <Isis> ( *doesn't tell anyone it's actually the 2050 version of GameFAQs
she's really looking at* )
[23:08] <Chamelaeon> <<The next room is twice the size of the last. On the right
side is a raised pool, the bottom of which you cannot see but puts off a sickly
pink glowing color, and on the left side is a door. The door has a single
circular slot in it.>>
[23:09] <Charlie> ( Bobbin' fer door keys! Yahoo! )
[23:09] * Isis raises an eyebrow. "No info on this door. Perhaps they assumed it
was obvious."
[23:10] <Charlie> What kind of liquid is that, Tim?
[23:10] <Tim> Uhm. One sec.
[23:10] * Isis blinks.
[23:10] <Isis> Hold on.
[23:11] *** Atom (EDeangelus@pool-141-151-14-99.phil.east.verizon.net) Quit
(Ping timeout)
[23:11] <Isis> The map says the AllDrug is *in this room*.
[23:12] <Tim> Uhm... that must be it, then.
[23:12] <Vernon> The AllDrug?
[23:12] * Chako looks at the pool, and says, "Unless it's invisible, that
doesn't give us a lotta options, yeah."
[23:12] * Illyana peers at the liquid.
[23:12] * Tim gets to work with all sorts of happy-fun analysis.
[23:13] <Chamelaeon> <<It's not really a liquid, as a look inside the basin
shows. It's crystals - rounded irregular crystals of various sizes and shapes.>>
[23:13] * Isis shakes her head. "That seems odd. I would expect the AllDrug to
be... a file. Wouldn't you? A schema for manufacturing. If they only sent a
limited supply in a... a VAT..." she says with distaste, eyeing... the, well,
vat.
[23:13] * Illyana does the analyzing thing too.
[23:14] <Chamelaeon> <<For those of you with analytical sensors... the AllDrug
is a slightly modified version of the same crystal that sent your asses to
Europa.>>
[23:14] <Isis> ( Are you saying this is the Rock Candy of Esuna +10? )
[23:14] <Tim> Huh.
[23:15] <Chako> (Maybe it's like condensed AllDrug. Put it in water, drug a
whole planet!)
[23:15] * Illyana takes out a large test tube and puts a hunk of it in.
[23:16] * Charlie goes to looking at the door.
[23:16] <Chamelaeon> <<For reference... most of these things are about
fist-sized.>>
[23:16] <Isis> ( So it's the Tang of Esuna +10? THat's even WORSE. )
[23:16] <Chako> (Fist-sized? That's a lot of Tang.)
[23:16] <Illyana> ( You know, I missed a line somewhere )
[23:17] <Chamelaeon> (?)
[23:17] * Illyana collects a good many samples, then.
[23:17] * Vernon examines the door.
[23:18] <Chamelaeon> <<The door has a hole in it. It looks vaguely circular, and
about fist-sized.>>
[23:18] <Charlie> Somebody hand me one of them things..
[23:18] <Vernon> I think one chunk of that stuff would fit nicely.
[23:19] <Tim> Will do.
[23:19] * Isis blinks. "If I didn't know better, I'd say this data is *alive*
somehow. Apparently the crystals ARE the alldrug. Wherever you rub it, you'll
feel better, because it's a topical analgesic."
[23:19] * Tim picks up a chunk of AllDrug and hands it to Charlie.
[23:19] * Chako (falls over laughing. Beautiful!)
[23:19] <Chamelaeon> (Isis is eaten by a giant mantis.)
[23:19] * Charlie tries fitting it in the door.
[23:19] <Isis> ( Shut your hole! You made the AllDrug tang! You're DEAD to me! )
[23:20] <Chamelaeon> <<The chunk comes close to fitting, but it fails to.>>
[23:20] <Chamelaeon> (But... but... Tang! ;_;)
[23:20] <Isis> ( Dead. Dead dead dead. )
[23:21] * Tim blinks at Charlie, then nods and looks for a chunk of Tang that'll
fit better.
[23:21] <Tim> ( Tang. It's a kick in a crystal sphere. )
[23:21] <Chako> (100% Vitamin DNA!)
[23:22] <Chamelaeon> <<There's a few that look like they might fit.>>
[23:23] * Tim picks up two of these, one in each hand, and brings them to
Charlie. "Try these."
[23:23] <Isis> I wonder. If the AllDrug is a 'lock'... is this thing alive
somehow? Or do the scanners just respond to a particular crystalline matrix...
[23:23] * Charlie takes one of Tim's then hands the old one back.. If that
doesn't fit, he'll try the other.
[23:25] <Chamelaeon> <<This one, too, fails to fit.>>
[23:26] <Charlie> (both)
[23:26] <Chamelaeon> <<The other does as well.>>
[23:26] <Charlie> hmm..
[23:26] <Chamelaeon> <<But it's very close.>>
[23:26] <Charlie> I suppose we could cut one to fit.

[23:26] * Charlie looks around the room for anything else that might fit.
[23:27] <Illyana> ( Um )
[23:27] <Charlie> (Atom pinged out a while ago)
[23:27] <Chako> (Yeah, Atom's gone. ^^;)
[23:27] <Chamelaeon> (.... damn him!)
[23:27] <Chamelaeon> <<The room is devoid of any other sort of thing. Even
gravel.>>
[23:27] * Isis thinks.
[23:27] <Isis> Is there a piece that's too large? 
[23:27] * Isis waves her sword. "We could 'cut it to fit'."
[23:29] <Charlie> This one almost fits. *he hands the smaller one to Isis*
[23:30] <Isis> ( *throws it in midair and cuts it into the shape of an origami
crane* )
[23:30] <Chako> (Stylin'! 500 points!)
[23:30] <Isis> ( Aww. I wanted the "Phat!" bonus. )
[23:31] <Chako> (Have to turn a space station into a flower for that one.)
[23:32] <Isis> ( If I had a sword that could do it, this game would be a lot
shorter. )
[23:32] * Isis attempts to cut the rock?
[23:32] <Chamelaeon> <<The rock slices like a tomato! God bless HF.>>
[23:33] * Isis hands the thing back to Charlie.
[23:33] * Charlie tries it now.
[23:33] <Isis> Just goes to show. The tried and true technology of the sword
knows no era.
[23:34] <Isis> ( Never mind that this one is tempered to an almost monomolecular
edge using space-age technology and alloys that can't normally exist inside a
gravity well, but hey! )
[23:34] * Chako half-grins, "Probably because there's no substitute for chopping
something to pieces."
[23:34] * Isis nods. "Exactly."
[23:35] <Chamelaeon> <<Illy's torso flops forward, her arms dangling down
limply. One of her gloves is off.>>
[23:35] * Isis blinks. "Someone shut off the doll."
[23:36] <Isis> ( *peers at Winamp suspiciously* )
[23:36] <Isis> ( It just started playing "Doll EYes" c.c; )
[23:36] * Vernon blinks, and moves over towards Illyana. "Are you all right?"
[23:37] * Chako suddenly looks to Illyana. "Well, damn."
[23:37] * Illyana doesn't say anything.
[23:37] * Isis frowns. "I hope she didn't do anything rash with the drug."
[23:38] * Tim tries to right Illyana.
[23:39] * Chako looks back to the door and Charlie, on the off chance the door
opened when he tried to put the stuff in.
[23:39] <Chamelaeon> <<Illyana's very limp. Her suit is actually, according to
your temperature sensors, at about 20 degrees Celcius.>>
[23:40] * Isis frowns more. "She did. She DID do something rash with the drug.
And there's no way to do anything, because we can't know what it's doing to her.
Damn..."
[23:41] <Vernon> Oh, no...
[23:41] <Tim> Uhm... shit.
[23:42] <Tim> Vernon, tell me you know something about medicine.
[23:42] <Chamelaeon> <<The temperature's changing rapidly upwards.>>
[23:42] <Vernon> Ah...?
[23:42] <Chamelaeon> <<Oh! My bad. The door opened when Charlie put in the
AllDrug.>>
[23:43] * Chako grins, and turns back to Illyana, saying, "Well, we can crack
the suit, in the hope it didn't turn her into a Sleythin, or whatever the thing
really does."
[23:43] <Isis> ( She's already a Slyther... oh. )
[23:43] * Illyana slowly brings herself into a standing position. Moreso.
[23:44] <Tim> Illy? You alright?
[23:44] <Illyana> I... believe so.
[23:44] * Illyana flexes her fingers. She realizes her glove is off, and sticks
it back on.
[23:45] <Tim> ...you sure?
[23:45] <Illyana> Maybe... Iz hot...
[23:46] <Tim> Did you touch the alldrug? 
[23:47] * Illyana doesn't answer. She decides to take a nap instead.
[23:48] * Tim frowns.
[23:48] * Isis mutters something else in Japanese. It's almost as unprintable as
her previous outburst.
[23:48] <Tim> ...I'm not the only one who thinks this is a bad sign, am I?
[23:48] <Charlie> ummm, her body is *really* warm in there.. we might want to
get her out.
[23:49] <Charlie> anybody have medical sensors?
[23:49] * Charlie goes to get her out of the suit.
[23:49] *** Vernon (jrenken@host-66-81-16-92.rev.o1.com) Quit (Local kill by
Kesseki (ghost))
[23:49] *** Vernon (jrenken@host-66-81-78-129.rev.o1.com) has joined #atc
[23:49] <Vernon> (Power out. -_-)
[23:49] <Chamelaeon> (Pause.)
[23:49] <Chamelaeon> (Someone fill in Vernon?)
[23:51] <Chamelaeon> (Got it?)
[23:51] <Chako> (Got it.)
[23:51] <Vernon> (Yup.)
[23:51] <Chamelaeon> (Unpause.)
[23:52] * Chako shakes her head. "Wasn't made for field medicine, this thing."
She looks into the blackness on both sides. "Damn. Can't move forward without
leaving the drug behind."
[23:53] * Charlie continues to get Illy out of her suit.
[23:53] * Tim helps.
[23:54] <Chamelaeon> <<Illy comes out of her suit. She's got to be running at
like 109 Farenheit.>>
[23:54] * Isis does not seem pleased. At all. "Perhaps she will save us the
trouble of killing her for her foolishness by dying." She searches the museum
data for the info she took on the AllDrug. ANYTHING that would be useful at this
point.
[23:55] <Tim> Ow. That's harsh.
[23:56] <Vernon> This cannot be good.
[23:57] * Isis mutters. "And the only information the Sleythin provided was,
essentially, 'Keep out of reach of children. Side effects may include
drowsiness, headaches, dry mouth, or DEATH. See a scientist before using on your
species.'
[23:57] <Charlie> Great.. Anybody with medical sensors? Tim? Vernon?
[23:58] * Chako frowns. "Great. If any hippie reinforcements catch up, this
place is very vulnerable, and now we've got more than one thing to protect now
besides having gotten through the hardest door for them."
[23:58] <Vernon> Unfortunately, not me.
[23:58] <Tim> My sensors aren't speciffically designed for medical use, but it's
worth a shot...
[23:58] * Tim scanns Illyana!
[00:00] <Tim> Some kind of exothermic chemical reaction... can't really pinpoint
it, but I think it'd dying down.
[00:00] <Isis> ( If she turns into goo or busts out any opera, I'm outta here. )
[00:01] <Charlie> She's cooling down slightly too.
[00:01] <Tim> Maybe... maybe the AllDrug works by just giving someone a
terriffic fever? ...no, please forget I even said that.
[00:02] * Chako mutters, and looks back into the darkness again.
[00:02] <Chamelaeon> <<Sensors are clear.>>
[00:02] <Tim> ...the fuck?
[00:02] * Isis shakes her head. "I remember from the museum... it essentially
works by taking DNA and simply rewriting it."
[00:03] * Tim blanches, if you happen to be able to see it. "It's rewrit...
yeah, that."
[00:03] <Isis> Does it take requests?
[00:03] * Isis is such a bundle of lemony-fresh joy.
[00:04] <Tim> Eh? Oh. 
[00:04] * Chako chuckles. "I just hope it doesn't get rid of my scars if I ever
have to take it. I spent years working on those."
[00:04] <Chamelaeon> <<The heat is certainly fading... Illy's down to about 100
degrees even, now.>>
[00:05] * Illyana wakes up. She groans and puts a hand to her head.
[00:07] <Vernon> Are you all right?
[00:07] * Illyana nods. "Da. Iz like... bad hangover."
[00:07] * Isis mphs, then turns toward the door. "I'll scout ahead, I think."
[00:08] * Chako says with a grin, "This thing's sounding better and better..."
and nods towards Isis. "Don't touch any pink crystals yerself."
[00:09] * Isis snorts as she goes. "Some of us were born with sense, believe it
or not."
[00:09] <Illyana> Iz not so bad, vonce you get past the cold. And the heat.
[00:10] * Illyana grits her teeth. "Vell. Here goes." She slowly stands up.
[00:10] <Chamelaeon> <<Body roll.>>
[00:10] <Isis> ( Using what, exactly? ;)
[00:10] <Chamelaeon> (#BESM.)
[00:11] <Isis> ( I'll just presume someone can roll for me if I need to. )
[00:11] * Illyana ... does not quite make it to standing.
[00:12] <Chamelaeon> (*Eyes time* Hoo. Wrap it up - got to close soon.)
[00:12] <Isis> ( I bow out, since I'm not here. ^_^ )
[00:12] *** Isis is now known as Todd
[00:13] <Vernon> (Gah, tired. @_@)
[00:13] * Illyana smiles from on the ground, though. "But it verks. It verks as
vell as I hoped." She starts crying.
[00:14] * Tim blinks. "...Oh."
[00:15] * Vernon looks around, confused.
[00:15] * Chako looks at Illyana, and it's like a lightbulb went off in her
head. "Aah, I get it now." Then she turns away from Illyana's crying back to the
darkness.
[00:16] <Chamelaeon> <<SESSION SIXTEEN LANDED! WASN'T THAT TOUCHING?>>
