[21:49] <> [21:49] (...shark? >_>) [21:49] ( Dicebot On! ) [21:49] (Into the moon! *crash* Damn Kookaburra.) [21:51] <> [21:52] <> [21:53] * Tim remains lying in bed, for some reason. "....gwuuuuu..." [21:53] <> [21:54] * Vernon rolls over and mumbles something. [21:54] * Chako snaps up awake near instantly, and reaches for her gun, and stops moving as it enters her hands. "...Aw, fuck." She rubs her eyes. [21:54] <> [21:55] * Tim sneezes, which leads to a coughing fit, which leads to him clutching his forehead and moaning miserably, and then to scratching the sides of his arms. [21:55] ( God, I hope that's just sweat. ) [21:56] ( I mean, I could see Vernon being a bedwetter, but.. oh god, Calc is gonna kill me. ) [21:56] (Techs generally aren't.) [21:56] (... it's sweat. JESUS. >_<) [21:57] <> [21:57] * Vernon sits up slowly, muttering darkly. He's apparently not a morning person. [21:57] * Chako looks over at Tim. "Damn, man. You sound horrible." She stretches, having slept in suit, and stands wearily. "We're comin'. Jesus, does everyone wake instantly in Sleythin-ville?" [21:57] (Not suit, jumpsuit. Sorry.) [21:57] * Charlie gets up.. " 'bit warm in here, eh?" [21:58] * Tim coughs again. "Uhg... I feew howwubul, too." It sounds like his tongue's swolen, or something. He sneezes again. [21:58] <> [21:59] * Chako walks over to the... uh, door. [21:59] How'd they do this last night...? [22:00] Dunno... cant remumber.. hed hurts. [22:02] * Charlie stretches "Where's the heat controls? It's gotta be 90 or somethin' in here... Maybe just touch the door?" [22:02] <> [I profusely apologize for the interruption, but it is mid-afternoon now, and the Council insisted that I ask you for any information you have on your species, so they may consider it before tomorrow. I truly apologize for interrupting your individual sleep schedule.] <> [22:03] * Tim goes into another coughing fit while scratching at his stomach. [22:03] * Chako blinks. "Uh... er... right. Information." She turns back to the room. "Anyone got some information on their species?" [22:04] * Vernon [glares] at no one in particular for a moment, before realizing where he is. "...uh?" [22:04] * Tim nodnods. "Right wrist on my suit. Disk player. Plenty ofCOUGHHACKCOUGHCOUGHCOUGHWHEEEEEEZE........info." [22:04] ...you okay, Tim? [22:05] * Chako turns back to the servant. "Be right back. Don't go nowhere." She walks over to the suits. [22:06] * Tim whimpers. "no, i'm not." [22:06] * Tim sneezes. [22:06] Uh. [22:06] <> [Does one of you require assistance?] [22:06] <> [22:07] Looks like Tim has a virus of some kind. [22:07] * Chako taps her head with her gun, and peers at it. "Hey, for once them notes do something." She does some pushing and the disc player pops off Tim's suit. [22:07] ... [22:07] * Tim stands up shakily. [22:08] <> [shall I take the liberty of summoning a doctor.] [22:08] * Tim wobbles, and RUNS into the restroom. [22:09] * Vernon raises an eyebrow. "Yes, please." [22:09] * Chako walks back to the thing, and hands her the player. "He says this'll have what ya need. Do your doctors got degrees in 'Human'?" [22:09] * Charlie leans back a little and scratches his head. [22:11] I hope I don't catch nothin' [22:12] * Tim makes sick noises from within the restroom, and then making som VERY colorful curses. [22:13] <> [i do not know. i will send for him. the high council wishes you to explore the city this evening, if you desire. they will speak with you tomorrow.] <> [22:14] "Explore? Yeah, if we ain't all dead." She looks back at Isis. "Man, she's gotta be out." [22:16] Let's hope this doctor can help. For now, I'm keepin' my distance from Tim. *he looks toward where tim ran* [22:16] * Vernon nods. [22:16] * Tim stumbles out of the restroom. "Sweet Jesus, it was silver." He stumbles over to his bed and collapses. [22:16] ... [22:17] Silver? Damn, man, ya haven't been eating your suit or nothing, have ya? [22:17] We got rations. [22:19] <> [I... wow... I'm dreadfully sorry, I came as fast as I could.] <> [... wow.] [22:20] Oog. [22:20] * Chako gestures at Tim and Isis. "Hey, the sick people are over there." [22:20] * Vernon waves sheepishly. [22:22] * Charlie makes sure he's out of the supposed doctor's way. [22:22] [The sick... right! The sick!] <> [I... don't know how much help I can be, but... well, why don't you tell me what's wrong?] <> [22:23] ...yes. [22:23] Uhm... ah! ah ah ah! [22:23] * Chako rolls her eyes. "Damn geeks." She stays standing and checks her gun. [22:23] * Tim scratches at the point the device is held again. "Damn, that itches!... which was one of the symptoms." [22:24] <> [22:25] * Charlie turns to Chako, "We may wanna wear our suits while exploring.. to try and keep out contaminants." [22:25] Uhm, lessee... er, abdominal pain, sneezing, sore throat, coughing, headaches likely due to concestion of the sinuses, swelling, and nausea leading to very, very abnormally silver vomit. [22:27] Hm. Wonder if any of those are analogous with conditions experienced byCOUGHHACKCOUGHHACKHACKwheeeeezeCOUGH. [22:27] [It... itches?] <> [... wow. SILVER, you say? I... wait.] <> [Does it itch again?] [22:29] Silver, I say, and yes! Gyah! [22:30] * Tim scratches, and almost seems to sneeze and cough at the same time. 'S gotta hurt. [22:31] <> [Well, that settles it. It's an allergic reaction.] <> [22:31] * Chako shrugs at Charlie, and says, "Allergic? To what?" [22:32] Alergic? to whu... whu... WAHCHOO! [22:32] * Charlie backs away from Tim a tad.. just in case. [22:33] [Nanites, obviously.] <> [22:33] ...I'm... I'm allergic to nanites? [22:34] * Tim sounds absolutely crushed. [22:34] ...what sort of nanites? [22:34] * Chako looks at it, and says, "Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute." [22:35] * Tim sobs. "I'm allergic to nanites! My life is ruined! COUGHHACKCOUGH." [22:35] [Oh, probably not permanently. But there are nanites everywhere in this city, floating in the air, on the buildings, in the food and water. Obviously your immune systems, insomuch as I suspect they work, are having issues about this. It's temporary, and you all probably experienced something like it while you slept, to varying degrees.] <> [This should help.] [22:36] * Chako starts walking over to her and says, "Uh... er... Doctor? AllDrug don't work so well with us." [22:36] Uh? Jus' touch it, right? [22:37] [... AllDrug? Oh gods, no.] [22:37] 'S okay, Chako. This isn't Tang. [22:37] * Tim grabs the sliver betwixt thumb and forefinger. [22:38] <> [We don't use AllDrug anymore. Quite dangerous. It screws with your head, no matter what species. This is merely an anti-nanite - it will help to alleviate the pain.] <> [22:39] * Vernon nods. "Oh, did we ever find that out." [22:39] * Chako mutters very under her breath, "Yeah. Screws with your head. Until it explodes or somethin'." [22:40] ...nifty. And I agree with your estimation of the AllDrug, Doctor. [22:42] Ah. Relief. [22:42] * Tim gives a happy I'm-not-in-so-much-pain-now sigh. [22:42] [We certainly regretted that after we sent it on the Messengers. No telling how many species that damaged - or killed.] <> [My name is Leky'cho, and I am the Council's house physician. I look forward to getting a glimpse of your physioginomy, or even talking with you later. But I really must go.] <> [22:43] * Vernon bows. "Thank you very much for your help." [22:43] * Chako says quickly, "Er, wait... ya might wanna give some to Isis..." she pauses for a second, and then works out, "Leky'cho." [22:44] Nice seein' ya, Leky. [22:44] [Hm? Oh, another.] <> [There is another one in here.] <> [22:47] Jus, uh, dump it on her. Y'don't wanna touch it. ...an I think I'm gonna sleep summor, now. [22:47] * Chako catches it. "Yeah, I figured. Well... er, he or she wasn't bad." She walks over to Isis, and crouches down, grabbing her hand and breaking the capsule into it. [22:47] * Vernon sweatdrops. "...'night." [22:48] <> [22:48] Nanites, eh? *he feels his forehead with the back of his hand* [22:49] ("You got a work order?") [22:49] * Tim sleeps. z.z [22:49] ( Later, y'all. COUGHHACKCOUGHCOUGHHAAACKwheeeze. ) [22:49] ( Unmoo. @_@ ) [22:49] * Chako paces. "Eh, I'm sure yer fine." [22:51] Yeah.. So what do we do while we wait? [22:51] (We're going to Sleythinland!) [22:51] *** Tim (stdwrs15@AC8EE184.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Quit: "AAAAH! THERE'S THOUSANDS OF TINY LITTLE MACHINES ALL OVER MY BODY!" "Yeah? That is the general idea, you know.") [22:53] Eh, ya got me. When everyone wakes up, I figure we should do that looking around thing the pale girl.. er, lizard, was talking about. [22:54] * Vernon nods. [22:56] * Charlie decides to have a good look around the room, and does that. [22:56] I dunno what ta do. I hate waiting for nothing. [22:59] <> [23:01] * Vernon prods the guidebot, experimentally. [23:01] (> prod guidebot) [23:02] <> [Activating... ugh, I feel like crap. My coprocessor was running all night.] [23:02] ("There is no guidebot here") [23:02] Coprocessor? [23:04] [Sleythin AI never really shut down, unless it's hibernation-9. Always a coprocessor monitoring for prods, pokes, commands and the like. And sometimes computing tasks of large importance.] [23:04] Ah...thinking about what's going on? [23:04] [Pretty much...] <> [Are they okay?] [23:05] * Vernon nods. "Just a nanite allergy...the doctor already took care of it. It seems that they know about the problems with the AllDrug, if you heard about those." [23:07] [I hadn't. I'm not sure I know what this AllDrug is.] <> [Did you want something, or are we going somewhere?] [23:07] * Vernon looks around. "Just bored, really. We're waiting to go look around until Tim and Isis wake up." [23:08] * Chako leans back and looks at her gun. "I wonder if I can get some extra clothes, if we're going to be out of suit." [23:08] You probably don't know much about the inside.. Otherwise you could be the tour guide. [23:09] (to prag9) [23:11] [Well... I could look. I lost contact with City Central, but maybe there's another network out there...] <> [... Oh, wow. You uh... won't believe this, but I'm talking directly with the Egg.] [23:11] Hey, I believe it. What's the Egg anyway? [23:12] [It's the main AI for the Sleythin. The first one, and the big one. They've been consulting it since way before they even thought of making us.] [23:13] * Vernon whistles. [23:13] * Chako says, "Ah." She pauses for a sec, and adds, "Must be something for you, then." [23:14] [It's like talking directly to your great-great-grandsire.] <> [23:16] [I've got a map of the city now, and a decent amount of information. Plus I can always ask the Egg later. It didn't take long to respond to a network query, it can't be all that busy.] [23:18] Huh. [23:18] Neat! [23:19] How big is this city anyway? [23:19] [So, uh... where would you like to go today?] [23:19] (...) [23:20] [Total population's about 2 billion sleythin.] [23:20] Uh... either this place is packed, or it's crazy. Or both. Geez, 2 billion. [23:21] * Vernon blinks. "That's huge..." [23:21] That's what I'm thinkin' [23:22] So Vern.. Where do you think you and Tim would be most interested in going? [23:22] [About 45,000 square (units of measurement).] [23:23] * Chako looks at the KOed ones. "Wonder how long those two'll be out. Wonder how long WE were out, actually." [23:24] <> [23:24] <> [23:26] Hmm...just to look around, really. Maybe get some food...I imagine theirs is similar. Although, we don't have money. [23:27] [Yes you do. The Egg says the Sleythin have, for about five hundred years, been saving money for entertainment of visiting species. As you can imagine, it's quite a sizeable sum now.] [23:28] * Chako paces over to the bathroom area and peers in. [23:28] I was gonna say.. You'd think they'd be nice to visitors. *he smiles* [23:29] <> [23:29] Hmm... [23:30] [Supposedly the entertainment business is thriving.] [23:32] * Chako mutters, and says, "Hey, Prag. Do you think we can get some clean clothes?" [23:33] [Uh, sure. I can get you a document on how to work the wall-feed.] <> [23:34] * Chako looks at the thing, and shakes it at Prag. "Wanna try it in Spacer?" [23:35] <> [In... what?] [23:35] Uh... we don't read Sleythin, Prag. [23:36] Yet, anyway. [23:36] [Oh, fuck.] [23:37] <> [Um... if you stand in front of the wall, maybe we'll see what I can do with these autofunctions...] [23:38] * Chako stands in front of the wall, then! "Do what with the autofunctions, anyway?" [23:39] <> [23:39] * Chako jerks back instinctively, "Ah! What the hell?" [23:39] [Don't worry, they're sizing lasers. I think. They can't hurt you.] [23:40] * Chako mutters, "Warn me next time." [23:40] * Charlie snickers. [23:41] Ya gotta watch out with military types. [23:41] Battle hardened soldiers, ya know? [23:42] [Sorry. Keep forgetting you people use guns.] <> [There. That's ... clothes.] [23:44] * Chako runs her hand over it. "Uh... well, it'll cover me, but could ya try something a little less... thick?" [23:45] <> [That work?] [23:45] Uh... I guess. Why is it made of this weird stuff anyway? [23:46] [That's what they make clothes out of. Soaks up water and holds it.] <> [Oh. Right, you're not amphibian. Well, it still should work.] [23:47] Oh. Guess that makes sense. Maybe I'll keep the other one around for armor. [23:49] * Chako chuckles, and walks across to the Sleythin sleeping room with her gun and the new suit, and looks at Vernon and Charlie. "Alright, you two, you are staying out here until I come out, unless you like the feel of a laser through your head. Got it?" [23:49] Fair enough. [23:49] heh, no problem. [23:50] Hey Prag, make a suit for me? Like the second one you made. [23:50] * Chako waves her hand, "Figure out someplace to go, or something." She wanders into the other room. [23:50] [Alright. Go stand in front of the wall.] [23:51] * Charlie does that. [23:51] It'll be useful to have some other clothes than these. [23:52] Hmm...I might as well get one, too. [23:52] <> [I think I can set this up to your voices... there, it's done. All you have to do is stand in front of the wall and ask it.] [23:53] * Chako curses sharply, says, "Fucking hot! Jesus," and then is quiet again. [23:54] [So.. where DO you guys want to end up going?] [23:54] hmm.. How about made of some sort of cloth .. fiber of some sort? [23:55] [Uh, I think that'd take long time to set up on the ... oh. Well, there are stores. I .. doubt they carry anything your size. Maybe a tailor?] [23:55] We could probably find a tailor.. *he picks up the wetsuit like thing* [23:56] (WAKE UP VERNON) [23:57] (I'm here. >_>) [23:57] (yer quiet. Stop it!_ [23:57] * Vernon stands in front of the wall, and asks for a suit. [23:58] <> [23:58] * Vernon picks up the suit. [23:58] Not bad.. [23:59] I like this wall. [23:59] [I mean, the Egg gave me some suggestions... a few of the happening nightspots, so to speak.] [23:59] Hmm, yes. [00:01] Would we really want to go to such a public place though? I mean, who knows what the general public thinks of us. [00:02] Nightlife isn't really my thing...well, unless it's inside, at a workstation. [00:02] I'm all for finding a Tailor and getting some comfy clothes. [00:03] * Charlie smirks and shakes his head. [00:03] * Chako says, from the other room. "Damn, this stuff is a little weird to wear. At least ya don't need a towel." She walks out wearing the funny suit, and carrying her jumpsuit. "But I don't like how it comes together." [00:03] How do ya mean? [00:04] * Chako throws her other suit on her bed. "It just... came together. I didn't even have to do much of anything. Makes me wonder what it'll take to make it come apart." [00:05] hmm.. well, Vern and I got one too.. I'm gonna go change. [00:05] [Hmm... the Egg says that you're supposed to experience the culture. He says it's supposed to be kind of fun, and that the people have been expecting this for a thousand years, they're as ready for it as they're going to get.] <> [Oh, and you take it off with a little body heat.] [00:06] * Chako says, "What? You mean if it gets hot my clothes fall off? Jesus, who thinks this stuff up?" [00:07] [I don't think it works from the back side.] [00:08] * Chako rolls her eyes. "Oh, that's a conforting. Someone can't sneak up on me with a heat lamp. So did anyone figure out where to go yet?" [00:09] I deffinately think we should find a tailor and get some decent clothes.. Prag here says we're supposed to 'experience the culture' too. [00:10] <> [00:11] * Vernon moves into the other room and changes. [00:11] We'll probably want something to eat, too. [00:12] [Ookay... I've got a route planned out. We can leave whenever you're ready.] [00:13] Eh. Do we wanna wait for the sleepers to wake up? They might be out for a while. [00:14] They'd probably want to come along. [00:15] (I hate that you're going to make a temporary thing turn into another full session. ;_;) [00:16] (But considering the pace at which you've been working thus far, even if you left now we'd be out until 3 AM. <_<) [00:16] (^_^;) [00:17] (So. Wrap up what you want to get done tonight. ^_^) [00:19] * Charlie will go in to change after Vernon comes out. [00:19] (We'll finish this next Wed, with Tim and Isis.) [00:19] * Vernon comes back out. "All set." [00:20] * Chako nods. "Yeah, you're probbly right." She peers at the wall, and shrugs. "Anyone got some cards?" [00:20] * Charlie goes back to change now. [00:22] Hmm...is there a shower or bath around here? [00:22] (Vernon... >.>) [00:22] (Yes? <_<) [00:23] (I've been dealing with Java Servlets all day. @_<_>;) [00:23] (What, exactly, was Chako doing in the other room, that made her comment about towels and exclaiming about something being hot? c.c;) [00:23] (Making bread?) [00:23] (Possibly?) [00:23] (Vernon is hit by a runaway Galaxy Express 999.) [00:26] * Chako peers at Vernon as if he were sick, and says, "Yeah, in the other room, where I was taking a bath that whole time. Watch out, they're pretty hot." [00:26] * Vernon rubs the back of his head. "Ah, thanks." [00:29] (We'll just wrap up now. ^_^;) [00:29] * Charlie comes back out after a bit. [00:30] This stuff isn't so bad.. It's wearable at least. [00:30] I should take a quick shower...be right back. [00:30] * Vernon heads back into the other room again, looking confused. [00:31] Maybw we shoulda got more of that anti-nanite junk. [00:34] * Vernon comes on back out. "Wow, very nice." [00:34] (Alright. Done?) [00:34] (Sure!) [00:35] (Yup. ^_^) [00:35] (sure) [00:36] <>
