Spyder: ((This would have taken place directly after the scene in
Broad Channel on the night of Feb 8, probably around 10-11 pm))
Angelia Caponelli: Ang's sitting outside on the patio, wrapped up in a
big, black fur coat, sipping hot coca while she watches the fountain...
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]: He's been lost in his own head, and sort
of...fascinated/revolted during the whole car ride back to the City
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *knock knock
knock*
Angelia Caponelli: Security lets Jer and
Ingy on through as if they've been expected.
Angelia Caponelli: And like wise up at the
penthouse they do the same. The place is cold since the patio door's cracked
opened.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He heads on
through with Ingvar and Spyder, heading into the penthouse.
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]: They park underground and are escorted up to the Penthouse by
security, passing through the Security foyer just outside the elevator on the
penthouse floor before being shown into the Penthouse it self
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's on the patio
with Ang, smoking a cigarette as she sits cross-legged near the other woman.
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]: (( www.wodnyc.net/locations/malc_pent_lvgrm.htm for floor
plan))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He comes in,
dressed in dark canvas- function over style this evening, and apparently loaded
for bear under the jacket. Looks a bit annoyed.*
Angelia Caponelli: She looks over to Reyna
every now and then. Ang's smoking habbit seems to have disapeared entirely over
the past 24 hours. As has her drinking hobby. Which might be a good sign or a
bad one. Her gaze flits to the penthouse and she watches through the glass as
the others enter. Taking another sip.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: Yeah, the
annoyance appears to be contagious, because Jer's sharing the expression. He's
even a little irritable, you could say. Very low-key style of dress, in a
wrestling T-Shirt and jeans.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She follows Angelia's
gaze to the glass, raising an eyebrow. "Hail, hail, the gang's all
here."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *Sinks
into a chair... thinking furiously.*
Angelia Caponelli: Slowly she uncurls and
rises, looking over Reyna before she moves to push the patio door open and step
inside. "I take it it didn't go well?"
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]: Spyder snaps a bit out of his reverie as he looks around at
the penthouse and gives a low whistle. Especially at the throw rug in the
sunken living room area, and those oversized sofas and the chair, which are all
upholstered in real sable mink. The floors are all polished black granite inset
with ivory marble
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He flops into
a chair himself, shaking his head. "Not exactly, no."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She follows Angelia
inside, and takes up a leaning position against the wall or windows near the
other woman.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *Simmers there
quietly.. he smoothes an eyebrow with one hand before looking at Ang and shaking
his head.*
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]: "Damn," Spyder says. "No wonder you was so
quick to hand over the fifty G's."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: Spyder. What did
you see when you looked at the computers? *Pale eyes flick like razors to the
other man.. he's doing well.. carefull control reigning in a monster that would
love to smash something.*
Angelia Caponelli: She slips off her fur and
drops it over one of the back of the couches now that she's inside. Her
attention flits to Spyder, looking a little relieved before she looks back to
Dream and Ingvar. "What happened?"
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "They've
got the computers. And they're fairly pissed off. Gunfire came into play, and
Karlos is on official warning by them never to enter their territory again, or
they'll kill him." He looks to Ingvar to explain further, as he had a
better perspective for most of it.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He gestures to
Dream before speaking.* I believe your take will be a little more concise. I
think you should go first.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: ((DLP))
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]: "Ah..." he shrugs. "Algorithms. Fucked up
ones. I think there's...a demon inside there...or something."
Angelia Caponelli: She listens to Jer,
"You get to talk to Him at all?"
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks over
at Spyder. "Is that what I felt brush my mind?" He frowns a little,
thinking.
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]: He shrugs. "I don't know. Just...it's really hard to
look away from it."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Well, would
SOMEBODY explain? Ingy, Spyder, Dream, whoever would be good..." She
shrugs, a little non-chalantly.
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]: "And now I can't get...those fucking algorithms out of
my head....they feel....dirty. Oily."
Angelia Caponelli: She pulls her head up to
look at Spyder sharply, "Like the Dvds... do you feel compelled to do
anything?"
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks at
Spyder, frowning. "We'll get you into a Rite of Cleansing, Spyder, as soon
as we can."
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]:
"Just...keep watching that screen."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He looks up at
Ang- starting with what he thinks she wants to hear most- maybe then the rest
will be a bit better recieved.* Mr. Dunne was.. *his eyes skate to Dream as he
choses words.* Alive. Coherent. Negotiations broke down rapidly.. but,
apparently Spyder is able to get into the computers. They were angered.. *he
frowns a bit* Karlos started speaking in my head.. saying something about a
plan he didn't know of.. *he seems a little confused.* Taking- *He looks up to
Dream, eyes widened slightly.* Not hospital. Doctor. That is what he said.
Taking Trevor, Mas, whatever to the Doctor. He didn't mean for medical
attention. He meant get the Dragons to take the prisoner to Doctor Schondorf.
*He stands suddenly.* BOZMEG! *he devolves into growling in Magyar.*
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]: ((As a clarification, it was Mas/Trevor who got typed
whatever was needed to acess the computers. Spyder just happened to be watching
the screen when it happened.))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: ((whoops- Mod
that.))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: His eyes turn
very grim at that. "Ah, you've gotta be shitting me." He looks at
Angelia. "Karlos and him starting talking in some laguage no one else seemed
to know. It's entirely possible he told Karlos his plan, which apparently
involves getting close to Schondorf?" He sighs.
Kristjan Ivanov: He steps into the living
room and goes still. He wasn't expecting people to be there. He looks them over
quietly.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She furrows her brow
at the sudden reaction from both Ingvar and Jeremy, frowning. "Well,
fucking great. This sounds bad..."
Angelia Caponelli: (back. Sorry. Lost power
there for a few)
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He whips a hand
through the air briefly* Apparently. Karlos didn't explain to me. Just got
pissed I didn't know about it. apparently he thought I did. I was still working
under the impression that the prisoner was Mas, and Trevor had already escaped.
Angelia Caponelli: Ang looks over Spyder,
"I'm going to have to keep you here for a bit. Cleansing won't do it. It
took months for me to shake off when I was under the influnce of something
better." She stares at Ingvar for a moment. "Karlos wants Trevor to go
to the Doctor or that's what the Asians are planning?"
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Now
things seem to make a little more sense...shit." He looks at Ingvar.
"Which means that Karlos is the person who has the best inkling of his
plan."
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:30 pm]: "I can set up the laptop? See if the algorithm recorded
onto it?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He moves over
to the bar, pouring a drink.* I know exactly what I told you. The two of them
spoke in some primitive language, Karlos griped about not being informed about
the plan to take him to the doctor, from there it devolved into whether or not
Karlos would take orders. *He rolls his eyes, holding up the bottle politely to
Kris.* Cousin? Drink?
Angelia Caponelli: She looks to Spyder with
a frown, "You have to make sure no one else sees it."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Which means our
boy is the man with the plan." She looks over at Angelia.
Angelia Caponelli: "And you need to
stay under observation by security... " She bites onto her lower lip her
thoughts dancing from one place to the next.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:30 pm]: He looks to Ingvar, who's laptop it's on, waiting for the guy
to produce it.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He nods to
Dream.* Looks like you will need to speak with him a lot sooner. He assumes to
much about my motivations- the transfer of the plan from him to us needs to be
swift. He thinks I will just engage him in some foolish struggle for dominance
in the middle of everything. *His eyes flick to Spyder.* Go ahead.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:30 pm]: "Where is it?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He points to
the satchel on the table.* Excuse- is in there.
Spyder [feb 8, 10:30 pm]:
"Just...keep watching that screen."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He looks up at Ang-
starting with what he thinks she wants to hear most- maybe then the rest will

Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He points to
the satchel on the table.* Excuse- is in there.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:30 pm]:
He nods and moves over to the satchel, pulling the
laptop out and firing it up.
Kristjan Ivanov: He nods to Ingvar, moving
over to him. "Thank you," he says softly. Reyna gets a quick nod, and
a faint smile. But that's as enthusiastic a reunion as anyone's getting.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods to
Ingvar. "Soon as I get a chance, I will."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She returns the nod
and smile to Kristjan.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:30 pm]: he starts tapping away at keys, trying to remember exactly
what it is that the prisoner typed to bring up that screen
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:30 pm]: 3,7,8,6,2,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He passes the
other Lord the bottle, looking to angelia* Any word from the spirits? Were you
able to speak with him?
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He continues
looking.. flicking through things in his head- apparently having delegated
before. Angelia knows that voice....* Reyna- any idea where the sword and
gorget are? We did not see them there.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He pulls out
his phone, still speaking calmly and even.. strategizing. He presents it to
Dream with a quirked brow* You want?
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She shakes her head.
"Well, they've got 'em, obviously. Couldn't tell ya where, though, I'm
afraid."
Kristjan Ivanov: He takes a drink, glances
at the bottle again, and nods. He doesn't say anything, but the look he gives
Ingvar as he hands the bottle back quite clearly translates to 'nice'.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:30 pm]: he keeps typing, a smirk coming over his face.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: Can any of us
sense them? For instance it seemed you were able to carry it and others were
not... Nabiki perhaps? *He recalls how well she tracked Mas across a city.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He quirks an
eyebrow, murmuring to Kris.* Glasswalkers evidently know vodka. *He pauses,
severe features tilting slightly.* Incidentally, why are you here, Mr. Ivanov?
Angelia Caponelli: She looks over to
Kristjan and nods a bit before she sits down to ponder. "No not yet Ingvar.
I won't be able to talk to him until the time is right for the spirits."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He glances
over to Spyder, frowning a little as he watches the Kinfolk, then looks back at
Ingvar and the phone. "Hmmm?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *His eyes flick
to Angelia, he nods slightly- then looks to the room to see if anyone knows a
way to sense the items.*
Kristjan Ivanov: Kris chuckles, and nods.
"Apparently. And I'd meant to disappear for awhile. I don't often find
myself crashing meetings here."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He shrugs in
response to Jeremy.* I was offering to give it to you. I do not know where
Karlos may have gone.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She
nods. "I was able to carry the sword, yeah...that was my job." A
shrug. "Don't think being able to track it down was in the
description."
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He stops typing, and just stares at the screen.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods
suddenly, shaking his head as he takes the phone from Ingvar and calls the
Concerto, where he'll surely leave a message.
Angelia Caponelli: She leans back to watch
Spyder with some concern. "Nab's good at tracking."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *Nods to Reyna.
He plants his hands on the bar, leaning over slightly as he thinks.* We need a
Ragabash... *He looks up toward Reyna.* Are you able to track the way they do?
Do you have the gift?
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He pauses, his
gaze swiveling to Spyder... waiting.*
Kristjan Ivanov: "Whatever do you need
a Ragabash for?" He asks Ingvar curiously.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He just...stares. Unblinking.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She shakes her head.
"I'm equivalent to a Ragabash, obviously, but no, I don't have that
particular talent."
Angelia Caponelli: "Spyder?" Ang
gets up and walks over, pushing the lap top screen down.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: 5,7,4,8,1,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *His eyes flick
from Spyder to Kris for a moment... then back as he answers.. frowning slightly
as the man seems frozen.* Simplest way to track Mr. Dunne. Then track to
Schondorf. *his eyes flick back to Kristjan.* You know about this whole General
and Throne business?
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: 2,6,2,9,8,6,7,9,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He gets up,
flipping the phone shut, and hands it back to Ingvar as he moves toward Spyder,
to pull him away fropm the laptop if anything bad happens.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He doesn't say anything, continuing to stare at where the
screen was.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He takes the
phone back... frowning slightly as everyone converges on Spyder.. damnit. It
happened again.*
Angelia Caponelli: She reaches over to shake
his shoulder, "Spyder?"
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: 9,5,4,3,7,8,2,7,9,
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He grunts, and smirks broadly, an odd, manic gleam in his
eyes. "Yeah, I could see that..."
Kristjan Ivanov: "Some," he says
to Ingvar. He does look over at the whole business with Spyder, but he lets
Angelia and Dream handle it. "Thrones, Zi Teng, deadline, I've got a basic
understanding."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She
watches from her leaning spot, her expression intensely curious. She obviously
wants to see what's on that screen...
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Could
see what, Spyder?" He watches the man closely, trying to discern the manic
look in his eyes.
Angelia Caponelli: Ang reaches over and hits
the power on the lap top, eying Spyder wryily... remembering all too well her
own experience with the videos.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He nods to
Kris' taking another drink from the bottle.* Good.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "The cybernetic interface would be...very easy to
construct if you attuned to chips to the subject ahead of time," he nods,
still looking at where the screen was.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((the chips))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *Stares blankly
at Spyder.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: Time is not
presicely something we have... you wouldn't have such chips with you, I don't
suppose?
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Cybernetic
interface? An interface to what?"
Angelia Caponelli: (Oh god I hope my honey
loves me I just squeezed into a vynal corset for his birthday party tonight)
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "All
right, this just took a trip into Terminator-land, right? Or at least Johnny
Mnemonic-ville?" She looks around the room.
Angelia Caponelli: She watches Spyder with
concern. "That's what they were doing with the shifters in Trenton."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: ((That's IT-
everyone thank Ang-p for shooting my ability to think all to hell.*L*))
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Yeah, that's why those guys were so messed up when I
took those gadgets out of their heads..." He grins, staring at the same
spot of nothing as if it were a lost love. "They needed somebody like me
to put those together for them...."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He looks to
Reyna.* Apparently.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((Yeah, huh...that's just...so not fair to talk about while
we're actually trying to do something coherent....))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "They
were putting implants into shifters?" He frowns deeply.
Angelia Caponelli: "But you're not
going to do that Spyder...." ((Sorries. I'm a little distracted trying to get
ready))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((*NODNODNOD*))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He tilts an
eyebrow, wondering if Spyder understands that he won't be allowed to do such a
thing.* Spyder... do the technologically infirm a favor and speak in English,
if you please.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Chips
in people's head? So we've veered off into Joss Whedon-town?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *Whispers to
Kris* How do you make a coyote shut up?
Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Jeremy,
"Three feral kinfolk, a lion, a wolf and a bear as well as a bastet and an
Uktena."
Angelia Caponelli: She smirks over to Reyna
a little.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: Spyder doesn't seem to be totally aware that anyone is really
speaking to him, locked in a bit of a conversation with his imaginary friend.
"Shouldn't take too long...I could have it done in like....twenty
minutes."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks at
Ang. "What's the point of the cybernetic implants?"
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Really? You could get me a meeting with the Big Guy?
That would be great. Nice to meet someone who could put something like this
together..."
Kristjan Ivanov: Kris shrugs and whispers
back. "Dunno. Never tried."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *Pale eyes skate
toward Kris... and there goes that infamous ironclad tribal unity for a moment
as icy Judge takes a moment to exchange a look with fellow Lord. Its one of
those looks... the 'if the kin gets out of hand, you club it, I'll run
interference'*
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grins at Angelia,
then looks back to Spyder.
Kristjan Ivanov: Ingvar's look gets the
faintest of nods, before Kris' attention shifts to Spyder.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Sure. So....aside from getting to play with the
toys...what else is in it for me?"
Angelia Caponelli: She looks at Spyder and
then around, frowning, ~Ss~ ~Soul? You around?~
Kristjan Ivanov: He looks at Ang, trying to
figure out if this should be stopped, or if it's part of the plan.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Angelia
Caponelli: ~SS~ "Yes."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He listens
quietly to Spyder speak, moving to kneel next to where the kin is sitting as he
tries to discern what he's talking about or who he's talking to.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He moves out
from behind the bar a little, after replacing the elegant AKavitt bottle with a
nice thick, hefty seagram's at Kris' elbow. He walks with slow, quiet
confidence toward the small knot of people to watch with them. right?*
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She pushes off from
her lean as Angelia calls to Soul, and starts to cross the room toward the
woman.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He grunts, grinning broadly. "Deal."
Angelia Caponelli: ~Has there been a breach in your wards?~
Kristjan Ivanov: The fingers of one hand tap
lightly along the table, the fingers of the other run nervously over the
bottle, as if learning it's shape.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He chuckles, and moves to type something into the laptop,
only just realizing it's closed. He frowns glancing over at the others,
blinking as if annoyed and surprised. "What'd you do that for?"
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Angelia
Caponelli: ~SS~ "No, but that computer is
tainted. Do not allow it to plug in or interface with The Blue Knight's
electronics, please."
Angelia Caponelli: She nods a little to
empty air, ~Can you tell who or what he's communicating with?~
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He looks
closely at Spyder, searching the man's eyes. "Spyder? Who were you just
talking to?"
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Angelia
Caponelli: ~SS~ "Something in the
computer."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: What did you
see, Spyder? *His head tilts slightly.. he comes to a stop that gives him a
good vantage.*
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She takes up a
standing position next to Angelia, watching the woman as she speaks with Soul.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "The avatar there," he motions at the laptop.
"It's got a very ingenious AI. You didn't see it come up on the screen?
Good looking blonde woman? Very alluring."
Angelia Caponelli: She glances to the lap
top and then back to the ceiling. ~A spirit or something else?~
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: What was her
name, Spyder?
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: And no, we
didn't see her.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Angelia
Caponelli: ~SS~ "I cannot tell precisely
without it interfacing. And I do not wish that."
Angelia Caponelli: ~Thank you Soul~ She
looks to Reyna and then back to the lap top, "The building's asked that
you don't plug the thing into any of her systems. It's tainted."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "What did
she say to you? We only heard your half of the conversation."
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Oh..." he shrugs, shaking his head. "Nothing,
really. Just...you know...asked me to work on the project."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Tainted? That draws a
frown from her.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: To which you
agreed, Spyder... of course you didn't know the program was tainted.. or you
certainly wouldn't have agreed, right?
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "What's
the project? And what did she offer you if you did?" He's quite, calm,
non-judgemental as he questions Spyder.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: he scoffs at Ingvar. "You stuck up nature lovers always
think anything Weaver is tainted. But this is cutting edge science."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: Oh I see. *It
seems for all the world as though this clarifies everything.* Well I did ask
for it in english... could have just said so.*He doesn't look back around at
Kris.. he knows the man is ready if need be.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He holds a
hand up to Ingvar to silence him, still looking at Spyder. "I didn't say
that, Spyder. Why don't you explain it, so Ingvar's concerns can be put to
rest?"
Angelia Caponelli: "Spyder, they have
programs that reduce your inhibitions and make you more inclined to accept that
which you would find to be 'bad' or 'wrong' in the past. I know, I've been
under the influence of one before. You need to listen to us when we tell you
the mechine is tainted."
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Oh, Doctor Schondorf's project. She says if I construct
a prototype--a proper one, you know, that works, not those lame-ass gadgets
they had on those folks from Trenton--that she'll let me into the Project
database. So I can work on some of the ~real~ important stuff."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "What's
the prototype intended to do?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He turns
slightly, transfering Dreams request for silence with smooth skill on to Ang.
He appears convinced that Spyder knows what he's talking about.*
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She listens,
half-tempted to grab the laptop and throw it off the patio. It's a long drop
down...
Angelia Caponelli: SHe crinkles up her
little nose a little and eyes the lap top.
Angelia Caponelli: "You can do that
Spyder?"
Angelia Caponelli: "Ingvar you said
that Adam was able to access the computers on his own?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *His eyes drift
shut for a moment.. that woman.. Trevor needs to get out.. he swears by Thunder
he'll buy the collar for the man to do his thing himself.*
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Oh, basically it's a memory/emotion controller. You
hook it into the person and it basically downloads their entire life
experience. Then you can go in and rearrange it...you know...reset it? So they
forget they've been drained? Forget they even have the implant, until the
timer's triggered and they jack in for another data dump."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *he turns back
around., stepping toward Angelia to murmur quietly.* Yes. But apparently
everything that was in them is now in Spyder... do not spook him. Mention
Adam's name and its likely the program will let spyder know he is who betrayed
their efforts the first time. Wait until Dream finishes.*
Angelia Caponelli: "Mancherian
Candidate sort of stuff eh?"
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "You can program a whole emotion sequence for them...or
a whole different set of memories for them."
Angelia Caponelli: She looks over to Ingvar
her eyes widening just slightly before she nods.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((okay, anybody with subterfuge may roll per+suberfuge.
anybody with streetwise may roll per+streetwise. anybody with covert culture or
cryptology may roll per+ that, and anybody with enigmas may roll int+enig))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: ((Is a dolt. A
very sinister dolt.))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 9,9,1,1,9,3,
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 8,2,4,3,6,
Angelia Caponelli: (what if we have all of
those?)
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((That was
Subterfuge, Streetwise, and Enigmas, in that order.))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: 5,2,3,
Kristjan Ivanov: (Subterfuge coming up....)
Angelia Caponelli: 10,5,9,6,
Kristjan Ivanov: 8,9,2,4,8,2,5,
Angelia Caponelli: 2,4,4,1,7,
Angelia Caponelli:
3,9,5,3,2,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: 2,8,7,10,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 2,8,8,3,7,6,
Angelia Caponelli: (Same order as Reyna and
I have to go in 2 min)
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 3,8,3,6,7,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: ((followed by
enig, then streetwise))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: 9,5,9,4,3,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: ((That was
Subterfuge, Streetwise, and Enigmas, in that order as well.))
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((Damn the rolls happened so quick I missed any that happened
before Reyna's Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 9,9,1,1,9,3, ))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb
8th]: 1,3,2,6,
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 8,4,2,4,8,
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: ((Is a dolt. A very sinister dolt.))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: 9,9,1,1,9,3,
Angelia Caponelli: (and I have to go,
hunny's here. Leave me an icq please singha. Sorry all *Hugs*)
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((okay...you all through various arts and skills and
knowledges, realize that what's happened is that Spyder is onto the
failsafe/security function of the computers. That in order to be able to access
the really sensitive data, the program itself is designed to corrupt and taint
the individual, pulling them into work on the Doctor's Projects before allowing
them clearance to the more sensitive information. That Trev/Mas activated this
failsafe and transferred a copy to the laptop so that you guys would know
what's involved in getting the real data off the main computers))
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((You cannot get the data off the computers unless a) you're
tainted b) you're familiar with the Dr.'s work already c) you're willing to
further his work in some way that will satisfy the spirit guarding the data))
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((And apparently the spirit has corrupted Spyder into doing
this work.))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *His eyebrows
creep up as something finally catches and he's able to view the situation in a
different light.. his eyes flicker to Dream, then back to Spyder. So now they
have their own mole.. just remains to be seen how easy Spyder will be to
manage.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *he leans down,
speaking to Dream.*
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: His eyes widen
a little bit at the revelation, and he shakes his head, a litle sad, but nods.
"Well, that's...nice."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's still looking
awfully tempted to play laptop frisbee off the top of the K-R...almost a little
moreso, now.
Kristjan Ivanov: Kris just sighs and leans
back into the wall, content to observe. This isn't his project, and Spyder
seems well enough under control.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]:
((It's also pretty clear that Spyder has no
perception or knowledge of himself being tainted, he simply sees the 'work' as
a viable scientific endeavor to be pursued.))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He frowns, but
nods, whispering back.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She walks over to the
bar, making herself a tequila sunrise. "Anyone want a drink? Spyder,
Dream, Kris, Ingy?"
Kristjan Ivanov: "Sure," he says
quietly to Reyna. "Thank you."
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He frowns at all the whispering, and pulls a gadget out of
his cargo pants, pulling a little tool kit from his other pocket and going to
work at the table there. "Anybody have a soldering iron? And a place
without all this fur, the static is gonna kill these electronics..."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *Pale eyes flick
to Reyna.* My name is Ingvar. Use it. *He returns his attention to Spyder.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: No Spyder I
don't think we do... unless you don't mind the patio. Would you be better off
in an actual lab? *He cants an eyebrow, nodding toward the laptop.*
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: 6,8,5,6,2,7,2,2,5,
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He shakes his
head to Reyna. "No thanks." His attention shifts back to the kin.
"We can use my apartment if you want, Spyder. No fur there."
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He does some tinkering, then looks at the laptop. "Can I
use that to write some code to burn into the CMOS of this gadget? I should
probably go back home, my workshop is really much better for this kinda
thing."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "When you start
calling me Reyna, Ing, I'll start calling you Ingvar." She makes Kristjan
a vodka tonic, since he didn't seem to mind the vodka before, and brings it to
him, then takes a drink of hers.
Kristjan Ivanov: He nods to Reyna with a
little smile as he takes the drink.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *Aaaall right...
its talking in technospeak. He looks from Spyder to Dream, then back.* I rather
thought you would want to go back to the Doctor's lab? *He checks his watch* We
are on a rather tight schedule ourselves- We could drop you off at the lab on
our way- but your own home is a bit far. Perhaps the doctor could arrange
transportation for you from there?
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: Perhaps we could
take you to their house so they can show you around?
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He stares at Ingvar, blinking a few times, as if he can't
believe the guy is so far off base. "The Doctor's lab was destroyed by
that Trevor Dunne guy a year ago. It was at this Cosmetic's place in Trenton.
Trenton is WAY beyond my place in Jersey City."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "How long
will it take to write the code? And will you need any more equipment to burn
the data into the CMOS?" Wow, he actually knows some computer stuff, it
appears.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th] -> Spyder [Feb 8,
10:45 pm]: ((alright- he has a
connection to the info. Mind if I roll int or per plus street to determine what
exactly to do with it now before Ingvar speaks again?))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *Doesn't respond
to Reyna. Apparently it is determined to be uncouth.*
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((sure, go ahead.))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]
-> Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: 3,5,8,
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She doesn't seem to
mind the silence in her direction on Ingvar's part. She just listens quietly to
the conversation, standing near Kristjan.
Kristjan Ivanov: He sips at his drink, with
occasional glances to Reyna. It's not so much that he's nervous about Reyna
being in his space, and that he's afraid she too might vanish.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Ingvar
Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: (let Spyder build his
prototype. Meanwhile ing can get the other comps from Guido, along with letting
him know what's up so the GW can put up appropriate safeguards to keep this
corrupt spirit from spreading into other computers. then get Spyder to access
the two computers that Guido still has through the laptop and let him show the
prototype to the laptop in order to acess the comps))
Kristjan Ivanov: (As, not and. I shouldn't
be allowed to eat and type at the same time.)
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He looks up,
then around toward Kristjan- he doesn't interrupt Dream's handling of the Kin.*
I will be right back. There are a couple of other things Spyder is likely to
need. *He moves toward the door.*
Kristjan Ivanov: Ingvar gets a quick nod.
"Understood."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She nods to Ingvar.
"Gotcha."
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: Spyder shrugs. "I dunno. About twenty, thirty minutes in
my workshop. Then another...fifteen maybe? This isn't too difficult if you know
how to do it."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods to
Ingvar, and looks back to Spyder, waiting patiently for an answer.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods.
"All right. I'll take you to your workshop, then." He looks at
Ingvar. "Wanna meet us at his workshop?"
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Naw, I don't want him there." He shakes his head.
"I don't like stuck up shitheads like that."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *he looks back
to Dream on his way to the door, pulling out his phoneas he moves.* He will
need his workshop- Jersey City is about half an hour away. So we call it two
before we'll have anything to move with. Its 11 already. We are cutting it
close so be ready to move him when I get back.*out the door.*
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: That draws a hint of
a smile from Reyna, and only that much because she's trying to behave herself.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((Does Ingvar take the laptop?))
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th] -> Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45
pm]: *He pauses, looking between the
two.* Man doesn't like shitheads, go ahead without me. Let me know when you're
done, yes?
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "He's
just going to bring some things that might be able to help, I think...things
we've found, I'd imagine. He won't stay longer then is needed to hand it
over."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *He pauses,
looking between the two.* Man doesn't like shitheads, go ahead without me. Let
me know when you're done, yes?
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "No," Spyder shakes his head. "I'm very
particular about how comes to my place. I really don't like people knowing
where I live. I'll come back to the city once I build this prototype."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: ((He'll leave
the laptop unless Guido is likely to need it, just in case the program gets
freaky when people start poking at it. Ing isn't good with comps excepting
basic usage.))
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]:
((how=who, my dyslexia is hoswing.))
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((Well, make your decision you're leaving without having
called Guido so either you leave the laptop or you don't))
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He purses his
lips, but nods. "You mind if I come along, at least? Or would you rather
work alone? You seem a little out of it still...I'd like to at least drive you
there, if you don't mind."
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: ((Just stepping
outside for the phone call so Spyder doesn't hear it. Depending on what Guido
says he'll take the laptop or wont))
Kristjan Ivanov: He leans into Reyna a
little to murmur to her.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "You..." he nods to Jer. "You're alright. But
that anti-Weaver, anti-kinfolk, royalist Luddite I can do without."
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Besides, I'm gonna need some guinea pig to calibrate
the prototype on when I get it done."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He nods.
"All right, then...let's get ready to go."
Kristjan Ivanov: "Are we okay?" He
asks Spyder curiously.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: ((score one for
the luddite! *points at Jer* nyah!))
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at
Kristjan, raising an eyebrow, and nods. "All right."
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: He waves his hands at the others. "Naw, you stay
here." He moves toward the laptop, scooping it up unless anybody stops
him.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: That gives him
pause. "....what did you say this thing does again?"
Kristjan Ivanov: He looks at Dream and
raises an eyebrow.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: "Never
mind. Explain it on the way." He walks along with Spyder, heading toward
the door.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: *opens the door,
phone still pressed to one ear listening as he grabs the laptop. Heads toward
the door again*
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Sure, sure." He launches into a repeat of his
prior explanation of how the device functions as they head out
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: Excuse Spyder-
expecting an email.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Huh?" He glances at Ingvar, then down to the
laptop, clutching it closer. "You know you really don't deserve to have
anything like this.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: That's all yours.
I Just need the laptop. I'll give it back so you can copy what you need when
you get back. As I mentioned, I'm on a tight schedule. *He holds out his hand.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: You will thank
me later. I'm going to get the rest of your project.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She watches Dream and
Spyder leave, shaking her head with a slight smile. "Esos cabritos
locos..."
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He stands
there, letting the two of them work it out for the moment.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: "Alright." he grudgingly hands it over.
Ingvar Urgahaldt [Feb 8th]: Thank you. *He
turns and moves back down the hall.*
Kristjan Ivanov: He waits with Reyna,
watching them go.
Jeremy "Dream" Thomas: He heads out
with Spyder, to the elevator, then to the car.
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: ((and gone from here. *G*))
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: 3,4,2,6,5,6,
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: 7,8,4,3,6,2,1,2,4,
Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm] -> Spyder [Feb 8, 10:45 pm]: 4,6,9,8,5,5,4
