>>>>>[You've never been that techy Whisper.. strange to see you set the board up.. must be all that lying in hospitals beds.. this the only way to communicate reliably with you?]<<<<<
- Jinx - 21:01/19-04-2062
>>>>>[This board was brought to my attention by Flake. I believe she was intending to heighten the security, given our... past difficulties with individuals of sundry diverse natures. I just want to make a brief warning: I do not need a security breach right now. Watch what you say.]<<<<<
- Cat - 22:36/20-04-2062
>>>>>[I always seem to be the bearer of bad news, that big bad guy we got rid of a while ago..Odioso came back. He is now setting up a nice little empire down in Tir Na Nog. Before anyone lays blame I was helping out a very good friend of mine who had got lost and I accidently let him out. How have you been Cat?]<<<<<
- Whisper - 12:02/21-04-2062
>>>>>[Uh Cat... I think I just detected a security breach in my ass...]<<<<<
- Justin Case - 21:05/21-04-2062
>>>>>[Uh.. Whisper I remember it wasn't just you.. I was there... and it's all Theresa O'Conner]]'s fault!!]<<<<<
- Jinx - 12:16/21-04-2062
>>>>>[Oh, bloody great. Never mind who's fault it was... for now. If it's in Tir Na Nog, somebody want to say why they're not all over it?]<<<<<
- Cat - 21:52/21-04-2062
>>>>>[Well, this is cozy, it's so nice to see old friends crawling out of the past like maggots from a corpse. Jinx:- It's good to see you again; how're the Firestrikes coming along? Cat:- I trust you're well?]<<<<<<
- Mortis - 22:49/21-04-2062
>>>>>[Cat: there's one good reason we're not all over it.. because it's someone elses turn, I've gone up against Odioso twice now.. if I count right.. and liked it neither time.. well.. ok.. I enjoyed bits of it. Mortis: You're dead!! I saw your body!! I looted it too.. and chopped parts off you for fun.. is that you playing around Whisper?]<<<<<
- Jinx - 22:57/21-04-2062
>>>>>[Not us, Jinx. Why isn't the Tir all over it? It's their country...]<<<<<
- Cat - 06:56/22-04-2062
>>>>>[Oh.. them.. that'll teach me to send Snappy to read the board.. if a job's worth doing.. it's worth doing yourself.. if it's not worth doing.. what was the saying? Give it to Mortis? Anyway, Tir this, Tir that.. Tirs all over the fraggin place.. why doesn't Odioso sort them out and do something useful?]<<<<<
- Jinx - 07:47/22-04-2062
>>>>>[I was there, I don't see what the big deal is. Ancient evil or not, a well aimed ATGM usually does the job. But you know what really pisses me off? Those Low-fat muffins they used to serve in the canteen. I guess thats where the anual budget cuts ended up. You'd think if you're sent by the government to combat supernatural powers on a regular basis, they'd at least provide you with something decent to go with your coffee!]<<<<<
- Justin Case - 15:48/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Snappy never tried the muffins.. obviously.. and so I don't know what they were like. What I do know is that while he sat in my chair pretending to be me and at work, I was laid back eating well]<<<<<
- Jinx - 16:02/23-04-2062
>>>>>[What are you doing these days? How is the furniture trade?]<<<<<
- Justin Case - 16:49/23-04-2062
>>>>>[I've finally been able to find a nice quiet place to get some serious magical research done.. trying to do something that everyone says 'just can not be done' .. but I'll get it in the end..]<<<<<
- Jinx - 18:33/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Me and Whisper are down in New Orleans at the moment, working for a local hood. Seems to me he's got tagliatelle for brains, but the pay is good.]<<<<<
- Justin Case - 20:15/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Sounds like low class work for such talented individuals.. better be paying top nuyen!]<<<<<
- Jinx - 20:28/23-04-2062
>>>>>[I've been funding decent cakes and pastries out of the black ops budget. It receives less scrutiny.]<<<<<
- Cat - 21:38/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Speaking of which budget; Justin, Whisper, if you're in New Orleans there could be some side work going, if you're interested...]<<<<<
- Cat - 21:39/23-04-2062
>>>>>[I assume nobody has anything on the Tir, then?]<<<<<
- Cat - 21:39/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Jinx, is your impossible magic an even higher Force fire strike, or something more esoteric?]<<<<<
- Cat - 21:39/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Oh, and Mortis: Care to give an explanation as to your apparent continued existence?]<<<<<
- Cat - 21:39/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Sorry for the flood, folks; broken connection I've just brought back up. For your reference, this board now has added ice, and I'm making some mid-grade milspec encryption software available to you (with this board's address hardcoded -- sorry.)]<<<<<
- Flake - Right Here/Right Now
>>>>>[I was always moonlighting for the CIA back in the day, so why not? One thing I DO know about you Cat, you're probably the only person in the universe I'd trust not to double-cross us...]<<<<<
- Justin Case - 21:45/23-04-2062
>>>>>[No idea about the Tir Cat, I always assume the worst about them. As to the impossible magic.. not a spell per se.. but a new methodology, something that seems to break magical theory.. as far as others are concerned.. you might remember me talking about it once.. area of affect spells with a 'calm in the eye of the storm' that one can center on oneself and avoid being affected by it. Flake, nice to see you again.. want to check someone's bank balance for me?]<<<<<
- Jinx - 22:08/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Cat -- you object?)]<<<<<
- Flake - The Raindrops/The Raindrops
>>>>>[Go ahead, Flake. Occasional differences aside, we're all in broad alliance here.]<<<<<
- Cat - 22:20/23-04-2062
>>>>>[OK, Jinx, whose details do you want? ;-)]<<<<<
- Flake - It flickers in the circle/A dance of life for you
>>>>>[Justin, your target is one Sebastian Dark. I've heard disquieting tales of his influence and reputation in the magical circles of the region. If the stories I'm hearing are true, he's using some rather dark and unorthodoc magics, and may be responsible for several disappearances of other magical practitioners. Unfortunately, CAS seems to be turning a blind eye and I can't operate down there without risking an international incident. I want what intel you can get on the magics he's using, and if things are as bad as they sound, he may need to be neutralised.]<<<<<
- Cat - 22:25/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Sorry Flake, just a bad joke. So you still working for the old folks Cat? Or with someone new?]<<<<<
- Jinx - 22:40/23-04-2062
>>>>>[I think that one falls under the category of "security breach", Jinx. Just suffice to say I'm working in a similar capacity for an organisation you're personally familiar with.]<<<<<
- Cat - 22:53/23-04-2062
>>>>>[Ahh.. got any cool gadgets I can have? :)]<<<<<
- Jinx - 23:11/23-04-2062
>>>>>[I'm actually a little hazy on the details - it apparently wasn't my time, because when that bomb was dropped by the cavern spirit, I got physically sucked into some kind of Astral Quest. Maybe someone out there is looking out for me. Or maybe the original Mortis is dead, and this is all a sick joke - I never could resist corpse humour.]<<<<<
- Mortis - 01:20/24-04-2062
>>>>>[Right... Have you undergone magical examination since your return?]<<<<<
- Cat - 08:04/24-04-2062
>>>>>[I'll give him some 'magical examination' - hold still.. won't hurt at all.. honest]<<<<<
- Jinx - 10:24/24-04-2062
>>>>>[A contact of mine assensed me to ensure that nothing came crawling back from the Astral Plane with me, if that's what you mean. I don't understand entirely what happened, but as far as we can make out there have been no negative consequences. Unless you call me living a negative consequence. Jinx: How did you get out from that cave-in, anyway?]<<<<<
- Mortis - 15:07/24-04-2062
>>>>>[This might be news for you Mortis (I know you were never keen on going into the astral plane) but when a mage is astral he can pass through 'rock' and 'earth'.. slower than going through 'air' but not all that difficult.. you should try it sometime. Not many places remember to astrally defend themselves from under the ground.. a useful way in to scout.]<<<<<
