Agreement to Cartwright

From Caelwiki

<The> laptop beeps

* Sylvir has quit IRC (Awoke: )

* the ball shimers, burns her finger, and then vanishes

<Durroth> oh crap

* Marrin looks at it

<Marrin> Low batteries?

<Cerbero> You-- YOU DID IT!

<Computer> How peculiar

* Deathbringer glances over at the beep.

* Marrin walks over and opens it

<Marrin> "what is it, machine?"

<Stromy> "Marrin, what's to say that I haven't mastered my auras?"

* Cerbero decides to stay

<Cerbero> i'll stay.

<Computer> I have discovered a peice of my programming that was apparently previously deleted

* Elenor looks at the absence of ball, almost not believing it.

* Fiona looks at the computer. "Huh...?"

<Cerbero> ((Ack! the moustached pimp!))

<Marrin> o.o

<Elenor> ((Uhm, Did Ryuusei actually say something?!))

<Fulcan-[Acting]> "Great."

<Marrin> "Do share."

* Little_Brown_Box suddenly gives a start, and topples off of the chair.

<Computer> I seem to have been made to forget something that happened to me on Technocracy prime

<Little_Brown_Box> Son of a gun!

<Computer> However it is...

<Computer> Coming back

<Harkel> What?

* Harkel looks up

<Little_Brown_Box> I just managed to access part of that unit's memory files!

<Durroth> ... its not fireball [target] is it?

<Little_Brown_Box> I've been trying to crack the damned thing open for DAYS!

<Elenor> ... This is interesting and all... But I've got something far more important to deal with.

<Marrin> "May we know what it is."

<Little_Brown_Box> ...assimilating data stream...

* Little_Brown_Box subsides into silence.

<Computer> What do you calculate the probability of us simultaneously retrieving peices of that period is Box?

<Computer> Coincidentally I mean?

<Little_Brown_Box> Oh, come on. You think it's a coincidince?

* Cerbero steps on the plushie's pieces. Intentionally you ask? hell yes.

<Computer> No

<Computer> I don't

<Harkel> Interesting.

<Little_Brown_Box> Something encrypted my copy's memory banks.

<Computer> It has to be the interference block

<Little_Brown_Box> And part of that encryption just evaporated as if it weren't there.

<Computer> Apparently I adapted it as well

* Damsel frowns slightly. "I... I seem to be recalling some things as well..."

* LordBarrius sits up rather suddenly, waking from sleep. He casts a glance around as if trying to reassess his surroundings.

<Computer> Meaning I must eventually agree to open my full resources to Ryuusei

<Durroth> odd

<Harkel> What?

<Cerbero> What?!

<Harkel> To Ryuusei?

<Durroth> I dont remember squat

* Marrin burps again loudly, shaking the furniture a third time.

<Computer> So even my own status would be a danger

<Elenor> What the hell?

<Little_Brown_Box> Oh, my.

<Marrin> "excuse me."

<Fulcan-[Acting]> "Oh, computer, I have a request."

<Little_Brown_Box> It got that serious?

<Fulcan-[Acting]> "Since you have a connection to Cartwright, now."

<Marrin> "How insane."

<Computer> If I modified MY programming

<Computer> it must have gotten THAT serious

<Harkel> Is it possible to protect your information via firewall?

<Marrin> "can we upload a virus?"

<Cerbero> Computer, can you do a backup of all data and restrict access, allowing only us to enter them, and then overwriting your programming with said protocol?

<Computer> Further more something major must have happened

* Damsel frowns, wishing she can recall more.

<Little_Brown_Box> Wow. We must've been in some deep shit. Aren't you all super-evasive?

<Computer> Something severe must have happened... to trigger us all

* Marrin taps his keg of pumpkin ale again

<Computer> It is why we cannot remember

<Computer> all of us

<Deathbringer> Hm...

<Computer> Something... bad

<Harkel> A memory block perhaps

<Computer> It is a memory block

<LordBarrius> "Ryuusei...." he casts a glance at Damsel.

<Computer> That much I am certain of

<Computer> a voluntary one too

<Cerbero> A veil of memories...

<VampiricPlushie> "I can't remember anything, lucky me!"

<Computer> Damned

<Computer> It remains too encrypted

<Little_Brown_Box> I suddenly have this horrid feeling that we're going to suddenly realise that half of the Tree is missing, or some such.

<Fulcan-[Acting]> "Computer, if you could, tell Cartwright that he better not show his face around me. Ever."

<Harkel> Voluntary?

<Nick> Or any of us Fulcan...

* Fulcan-[Acting] sighs, and vanishes.

<Little_Brown_Box> Fulcan, not that Cartwright.

<Durroth> And send him a JPEG of a razor

<Harkel> That happned to Zeltan, once.

* Nick reappears

<Computer> I am not in communication with Cartwright

* Deathbringer grins at Fulcan, "If he ever shows his face..."

<Cerbero> Thankfully.

<Computer> "And yes it is Box"

<Durroth> ... okay then, scratch the JPEG of a razor

<Computer> "Coincidence.... is... not likely"

<Computer> "It was that Cartwright"

<Marrin> "Computer, can you upl,oad a virus to him when he next accesses you?"

<Computer> "He no longer has access. Nor would I do so...."

<Computer> "I gather that...."

<Little_Brown_Box> But, that'd mean that he'd have to have...

<Little_Brown_Box> Erm...

<LordBarrius> "The same?" He blinks in very clear surprise.

<Little_Brown_Box> He'dve...

<Computer> "Not exactly"

<Computer> "Analog"

<Little_Brown_Box> Oh, good.

<Elenor> An analog of Cartwright's has been accessing you?

<Computer> "Still"

<Harkel> Analog of Ryuusei, you say?

<Computer> "Same motive"

<Deathbringer> Oh boy...

<Little_Brown_Box> For a moment, I thought you were saying that it was OUR Cartwright.

<Cerbero> Computer, what are the chances of creating a backup of all data and protocols, restricting access to anyone but us, and then overwriting your current programming with said condition? this would prevent Cartwright or his analog/s from accessing your data.

<LordBarrius> "Ah, that would be....more what I suspected."

* TaloToecan looks quite quizically confused, considering he has both refrained from comment and question."

<Fiona> "Wait... Two Cartwright...?"

<Fiona> "Same motive... I don't like that."

<Harkel> How close is this Cartwright to to one we know?

<Cerbero> There are many of us, after all. Everyone has analogs.

<Deathbringer> Just what we need.... more of the thrice-damned bastard.

<Computer> We need to get access to those memories

<Elenor> So... this is good right? Well, at least better than the asshole Cartwright we know?

<LordBarrius> "They may look the same....but...."

* Computer lapses into complete silence and then enters powersaving mode
