 		[IRC LOG] End Game
Quote:
[01:49] Kevin: Good evening, wakeful!
[01:49] tallerbird: hi kevin
[01:49] tallerbird: any word from sue yet?
[01:50] Kevin: Yeah, yeah, a little. She's been to Chuck's house, and the I guess second to last? part of the ritual is done.
[01:50] Kevin: She called me after she did it.
[01:50] Kevin: Geeeeeeeeeeeez I wish I could climb out of here and help Sue directly.
[01:51] tallerbird: me to. i guess we just have to sit and wait
[01:51] Kevin: She told me she put your photos all over the wooden man. Something cracked, like the thunder I heard the night I escaped from Sing Sing. Think that's a sign?
[01:52] tallerbird: sounds like a good sign to me
[01:53] Kevin: Yeah. She said it was like, noon for a second it was so bright, then it all went back. Sounded pretty painful.
[01:54] tallerbird: well sue sounds like a tough gal. i'm sure she will be fine
[01:54] Kevin: John was standing right in front of her! Well, like John but different. I guess magic can make wood look like flesh, huh? She told him his name was "Zared" and he nodded. Sue dressed him up in John's clothes, and now they are en route.
[01:55] Kevin: Oh! Wow, you want to hear something weird while we wait?
[01:55] tallerbird: ok
[01:55] Kevin: All the pictures that Sue printed out for the rituals changed in that flash. They were all pictures of John's life. I guess you guys created John. Sort of.
[01:55] tallerbird: wow. i wish i had been able to see that
[01:56] *** Macavity has joined #suesdestiny.
[01:57] Macavity: >>> Relay Station Alpha: All Systems ONLINE <<<
[01:57] tallerbird: hi macavity
[01:57] Macavity: Hello, Tallerbird.
[01:57] Kevin: Hey, all right. From one relay station to another.
[01:58] Kevin: If you can consider me and my radio a relay station.
[01:58] Macavity: Oh yeah. Good to see you, Kevin.
[01:59] Macavity: So, any word yet?
[01:59] Kevin: I've been meaning to talk to Burke about doing some relaying of our own but
[02:00] Kevin: Woah hey, here we go.
[02:00] Kevin: Sue just called me up.
[02:00] Macavity: Got a clear signal, I hope.
[02:01] Kevin: Pretty clear. She says it's really cold there...weird. No sign of John outside the warehouse. Hope he hasn't gone in yet. She's... geez, do I need a lecture about not sending in reinforcements until she says so?
[02:02] Kevin: I... I hear screams. A girl. A young girl. Not Sue, who's now running forward. She's as headstrong as Lane!
[02:02] Macavity: well, it might be a good idea to have them standing by just in case . . . and speaking of ideas, I've got one.
[02:02] Kevin: Yeah, they are. Lay it on me but if it's not something I can do from far away...
[02:02] tallerbird: i guess thats johns sister
[02:02] Macavity: Kevin, does the ritual mention how you're supposed to bring the trap into contact with the doppelganger? Does it have to willingly take hold of the trap, or does it just need to touch it?
[02:03] Kevin: I think they've got to touch. Not sure.
[02:03] Kevin: Found John trying to get in through the door! Hasn't gone in yet.
[02:04] Macavity: 'Cause if it just needs to touch it, Sue could throw it - like a grenade - and as long as it touches the doppelganger, that should work to trap it.
[02:04] Kevin: Hah hah. Maybe, but it's big. It's a person! Well, it's as big as a guy and Sue says it talks...
[02:04] Kevin: John thinks he needs to go in alone. Woah, he's noticed Sue's wooden man and thinks it's the doppelganger.
[02:04] Macavity: That could desccribe a lot of things, Kevin - Shadows, Vorlons, Drakh . . .
[02:05] Kevin: Sue's trying to pound some reason into that cat's skull. Man you'd think those two really are brother and sister.
[02:05] *** Silverkun has joined #suesdestiny.
[02:06] Silverkun: Greetings, programs.
[02:06] tallerbird: hi silverkun
[02:06] Macavity: Hey, Silverkun! Glad you could make it!
[02:06] Kevin: Hey silver, just in time to hear about John and Sue yelling at each other outside the warehouse.
[02:06] Silverkun: Heck, *I'M* glad I could make it. I'm still here in the office on a conf.call.
[02:06] Silverkun: Oh good! That means they're still alive and John's got the life to yell...
[02:07] Kevin: Woah! What the heck is in there? Something just screamed, and it wasn't the girl..
[02:07] Macavity: Oh, bugger. If they've got the doppelganger's attention, it may bolt because it think's John's betrayed it . . .
[02:07] Macavity: That doesn't sound good, Kevin. I hope there weren't any innocent bystanders!
[02:07] Kevin: John insists that the counter rituals won't work, and that the wooden man can't fool an arcane entity such as the doppelganger. Argh. How can he be... oh.
[02:08] Silverkun: ...."Oh"?
[02:08] Kevin: Sue told him she's learned something. She's learned that you need to trust your friends.
[02:08] Kevin: Eeeh. Catching up. They're talking fast.
[02:08] tallerbird: If it fooled John then it will fool the doppelganger
[02:09] Kevin: She asked him to trust her. It looks like he was going to let her go in with the decoy
[02:09] Kevin: But then John's sister screamed again. John tried to run in and Sue's tried to stop him. They struggled...
[02:10] Macavity: Right. Let's hope it works . . . and if it doesn't, we'd better have some hard calibers in the area.
[02:10] Kevin: Ouch! I uh...
[02:10] Kevin: I think Sue just knocked John silly.
[02:10] Kevin: First Lane and then her. Poor kid.
[02:10] Silverkun: *nodnods*
[02:10] Macavity: Whoa. I certainly wouldn't want to get her torqued at me . . .
[02:10] tallerbird: Sue and John in a fight. My money is on Sue
[02:11] Silverkun: You and I both...
[02:11] Macavity: Kevin, I think they're panicking. We need to get them to calm down.
[02:11] Kevin: Okay, I'm trying. She's just... standing there.
[02:11] Kevin: Aaaaaand then she says sorry.
[02:12] Kevin: I swear we should have just sent Shunyata. Same ammount of damage.
[02:12] Kevin: Sue's going in now. It's time for her to face her destiny.
[02:12] Silverkun: *nods and crossses fingers*
[02:12] Kevin: Sue's spotted someone named Libby. She sounds happy. John's sister is okay!
[02:12] Silverkun: YAY!
[02:13] Silverkun: Now just make sure she doesn't get jumped...
[02:13] Kevin: And... I hear the doppelganger. It sounds... mean. Very mean.
[02:13] Macavity: Right Tell her to stay cool - and if it looks like the doppelganger isn't going to fall for the trap, to push the decoy into the doppelganger.
[02:13] Kevin: I'll let her know.
[02:14] Silverkun: Just make contact... I believe that's all it'll take...
[02:14] Kevin: She's bringing the trap to the doppelganger.
[02:14] Kevin: Is it falling for it? Yes! It's thinks that is John! The doppelganger is sacrificing itself...
[02:14] Kevin: er, the decoy. Whoops
[02:14] * Macavity crosses fingers.
[02:15] Kevin: Woah! More of that thunder. Decoy said Ehmet
[02:15] Macavity: So far so good . . . but if things go south, she'd better be ready to leg it.
[02:15] Kevin: Ehmet.
[02:15] Kevin: Ehmet.
[02:15] Silverkun: *grins* Heh.
[02:15] Kevin: Please work. They are touching...
[02:15] Kevin: Sue says its working! The trap is sprung!
[02:15] Kevin: Hah!
[02:16] Macavity: Hooah!
[02:16] Kevin: He's helpless, cats! Sue's got the bastard right where we want him.
[02:16] Silverkun: EXCELLENT!
[02:16] * Macavity punches the air.
[02:16] Kevin: She's taking him apart now. What a wonderful sound. That's the sound of
[02:16] Kevin: wait
[02:16] Kevin: wait
[02:16] Silverkun: Now to follow the instructions from the Chicago cac... wait?
[02:16] Macavity: What? What's wrong?
[02:16] Kevin: IT'S NOT HELPLESS!
[02:16] Kevin: It's attacking Sue!
[02:17] Macavity: Shitshitshitshitshit! Get some backup in there, now!
[02:17] Silverkun: Panic button time!
[02:17] Kevin: I don't think... wait. It just accused Sue of making a wish!
[02:17] tallerbird: she did
[02:17] tallerbird: she wished for charles back
[02:17] Macavity: It's right . . . there was a line in her blog about wanting Charles back.
[02:18] Kevin: She did? Uh oh, that sounds bad.
[02:18] Silverkun: *nods* Bugger...
[02:18] Kevin: Oh God, and worse! John's woken up and entered the warehouse! Not after all this work to save him.
[02:18] Kevin: Oh come on, Sue. Call in the help!
[02:18] Silverkun: But she wished Charles were there....
[02:18] Kevin: John, that idiot, he's trying to attack the doppelganger
[02:19] tallerbird: No. He shouldn't touch him
[02:19] Kevin: ...and I think it just hurt him bad. It says it's going to kill him last. Sue and John must be down and hurt. Neither of them sound good.
[02:19] Macavity: Kevin, if you can get through to John, tell him to look for something like a cargo net - something heavy that he can drop on the decoy to trap it.
[02:19] Kevin: Oh geez, it's still got some of its powers. Sue's choking. It's depriving her of air. That's it, I'm sending help!
[02:19] Silverkun: Good move!
[02:20] Kevin: That's a great idea but I don't think he'll hear me even if I yell at the top of my lungs.
[02:20] Macavity: Roger that. Alpha, standing by to help co-ordinate.
[02:20] Kevin: Oh no, oh no. I can't believe this.
[02:20] Kevin: Dumb kid isn't staying down.
[02:20] Kevin: Wait, what was that?
[02:20] Macavity: What was what?
[02:21] Kevin: Sue just managed to say something... about clay? Something's glowing. She wants John to rip it off.
[02:21] Kevin: She's choking. I don't think the backup is going to make it. Geez, why didn't I go?
[02:22] Kevin: Hurt, they all sound hurt. All I can hear is pain... and, the doppleganger just stopped laughing. He's making a strange sound.
[02:22] Macavity: We couldn't have expected this course of events, Kevin. We're not precogs.
[02:23] Macavity: H'm. Is it doing anything?
[02:23] Silverkun: *nods* And we were and are doing our best... don't give up just yet!
[02:23] Kevin: Sue says John pulled the clay thing off the decoy. The spirit is trapped inside it!
[02:23] Kevin: Hahaha! They're all okay!
[02:23] Silverkun: SWEET!
[02:23] Macavity: Ohhh YEAH!
[02:24] Kevin: Whew. We did it.
[02:24] Silverkun: NO WISHES, dag nab it! *grins*
[02:24] tallerbird: I knew Sue would do it
[02:24] Macavity: Right, now let's take the decoy apart and . . . oh, I don't kniw. Incinerate it, maybe? Or wouldf that set the critter we trapped loose again?
[02:25] Silverkun: Dunno. Anybody got a ritual of cleansing, handy? *winks*
[02:26] Kevin: Hmm. That might set it free. I'm going to have Sue send the decoy to us. Maybe one of our guys here will know what to do.
[02:26] Macavity: I don't *think* so . . . well, except for "The White commands you to depart this place, never to return."
[02:26] Kevin: Of course Lane would just want to shoot it with something.
[02:26] *** ilikepucks has joined #suesdestiny.
[02:26] Silverkun: Hey there, Puck!
[02:26] ilikepucks: sorry i'm late...how's everything going
[02:26] tallerbird: hi puck
[02:26] Kevin: Sue's says... hah. She says they're going to get John to a hospital and then she's going to sleep for a week. She'll explain everything from her point of view in her blog tomorrow.
[02:26] Macavity: Picked that up from a guy named Callahan, a couple years back. Met him in New York City.
[02:27] Silverkun: Heh.
[02:27] ilikepucks: hey all
[02:27] Kevin: Hey pucks! You just missed a daring rescue. The audio will be up tomorrow though. Once Burke is satisifyed with it.
[02:27] * Silverkun leaves a dollar in the cigar box.
[02:27] ilikepucks: well i'm just glad that it sounds like everything worked out
[02:27] Kevin: Callahan eh? Maybe he's one of our agents.
[02:27] Macavity: Puck, we're home free. The doppelganger is trapped, and while Sue and John aren't exactly on top form, they're both alive and relatively well.
[02:27] Silverkun: *grins* Hope that won't take too long. Does that mean you're out of the proverbial dog... er... cat house, Kevin?
[02:28] ilikepucks: Great news!
[02:28] Silverkun: Dood, they're *alive*. That's a big jump on what could've happened...
[02:28] Macavity: Well, Kevin, he might be. first name was Don, as I recall, and he had a cross-shaped scar on his forehead.
[02:28] Kevin: I sure hope so.
[02:29] Macavity: Any road, we need to dispose of that decoy, STAT.
[02:29] Kevin: I'm really tired of hiding the dark.
[02:29] Silverkun: Tell Sue and John and Libby hello from us, with regards and well wishes...
[02:29] Silverkun: I concur with Macavity here.
[02:30] tallerbird: Lock it up and throw away the key
[02:30] Kevin: Yeah, they're dragging it out of there. I'll have the backup (the slow, slow backup) pick it up from 'em.
[02:30] Kevin: Heh, yeah... I'm thinking lead box and the bottom of the ocean for that piece of work.
[02:30] tallerbird: perfect
[02:30] Macavity: I would'a thought lead box in a decommissioned nuclear reactor core myself. You'd have to be nuts to go in there!
[02:31] Silverkun: Noooo. Not water.
[02:31] Silverkun: I think it'd be fitting to bury it in earth, though. Somewhere with clay...
[02:31] Macavity: Fire. Definitely fire - or at least something that can be described as "hot".
[02:31] Macavity: (Which a decommissioned nuclear reactor core certainly is.)
[02:32] Silverkun: We can split the difference and toss it into a volcano...
[02:32] Kevin: Well I think we do know some guys who live near a volcano.
[02:32] Macavity: Preferably an active one, and from a helicopter.
[02:33] Silverkun: Fire and Earth? Quite fitting. And an excellent compromise. *winks*
[02:33] Macavity: Ohhh yeah.
[02:33] Kevin: Well I'll suggest it to 'yata. I'm sure he'd love it.
[02:34] Silverkun: *chuckles* One should hope so; I think we're in the doghouse with you!
[02:34] Kevin: Hah! Well, I'll talk the wakefuls up. Maybe soon we can get some more contact... with Burke at least.
[02:35] Kevin: And get us all out of the doghouse.
[02:35] Macavity: Well, me at least - especially after I fired off an email with that "Nobody gets left behind" in it (and it was just that one line).
[02:35] Kevin: Oh, I liked that line. Very appropriate for we denzins of the weird.
[02:36] Silverkun: Hehe. I dunno. That had some spunk (and spurs) with it..
[02:36] Kevin: In fact... well. You'll see
[02:36] Silverkun: I approve, but I'm on *this* side of the fence...
[02:36] Silverkun: I'll hold you to that, Kevin. Are those in the field secured? Backup show up?
[02:37] Kevin: Yup! Everything is peachy keen. Sue and company are limping off and we've got the decoy.
[02:37] Kevin: I'd better click off now, let the Cyphers know how their new agents just saved some people from rogue weird elements.
[02:37] Kevin: And what a good job you guys did.
[02:38] Macavity: Right. Well, I've got to put the relay station into stadby mode for now - got some maintenance stuff to take care of. Stay frosty, team!
[02:38] Silverkun: Heh. Ritual apologies for being eaten by my career...
[02:38] Kevin: No problem, Silverkun!
[02:38] Silverkun: Speaking of which, they keep asking me why they hear my keying in the background. I'm going dark, too.
[02:38] Kevin: Catch y'all on the flipside. Look for some updates in the next few days.
[02:38] Silverkun: Great job, folks!
[02:39] ilikepucks: bye kevin...sorry i couldn't be here sooner
[02:39] tallerbird: Well done everyone. I had better get to bed. nearly 3am here
[02:39] ilikepucks: great job everyone...can't wait to hear all about it
[02:39] Silverkun: Take care, folks. Great being in a room with the lot of you!
[02:39] ilikepucks: see ya

 		You know, I've been digging around, and I'm not seeing all that much that would suggest that we haven't reached end-game.

Am I alone in my paranoia?

 		On the web page at http://www.studiocypher.com/cyphers/cases , it says:

Quote:
The Cypher's current case is too close to completion to sign up new Wakeful Agents. However, you can sign up to be notified when the next adventure begins (about July 1st)!
