[Phone] 10/19 Live call from Melissa, SP (VERY LONG!)

[ Edited for stupid grammar, although i dont guarantee my writing skills are up to the top notch please dont die from grammar/spelling mistakes in this post Razz

]
Yeah so this is an uber long post� And that is why I started a new thread cause it is super long and people can read it and not have to scroll through an entire 3 pages just to get to the next live report... please bear with me, I typed it up between my English 101 class and Polysci� Enjoy I hope�

For the past week I was trying to recruit another person for the Boise Squad. Jared, or Evil Jester is a guy I play Halo with and he also goes to BSU which is prime Axon location. Each Boise axon is only a 10 minute drive away.

Tuesday:

In the morning I went to my single math class on Tuesday and then met up with Evil Jester in the Sub to get him going on Ilovebees. We checked out a laptop and went upstairs and I let him listen to some of the waves, showed him forum posts, the site and anything else I could think of. At first I was just going to go to math class then drive back home to Nampa, 30 minutes away. But what the heck� why not waste 3 hours and get two axons.
With the first one being at 11:12 on the otherside of campus across the street at a Pizza Hut, it wasn't going to be hard to make it. However we listened to the wavs for to long and making it early incase of an SP call was not looking too swell. So I sprinted and Evil Jester rode his skateboard. We made it 12-15 minutes early, had we walked it would have been with 2 minutes to spare� maybe. We ordered breadsticks and sat down at my usual table near the phone. The girls who are always there when I come in greeted me as the "halo guy." � wonderful. After calling weephun and talking with him for a bit on anything that might be new. I hung up with a minute to go.

The phone rang� twice.
MC: Hello?
Mel: * standard hardware talk, not sure who you are blah.. what's the answer? *
* I gave her my answer and I already knew it was live, I could tell by the voice and the immediate response on being correct *
She asked my name and rank. Proudly I told her Lieutenant Mad Cow.
She was pleased. And commended me and the Boise Squad on a good job last week recruiting new people. She asked if anyone else was there and I told her yes, a new recruit, Jr. Lt. Evil Jester.
She told me to put him on. He talked to her, I don't know what she said to him but he handed me the phone back after a couple of yeah, sure, okays.
She told me she was going to ask me questions that I needed to ask Evil Jester and he needed to respond with a "Yes Ma'am." The first question was that she wanted to make sure he was going to be a person of the new crew and that he was okay with this. .
I relayed this to him and asked if he understood, he replied with a yeah. She said, make him say "Yes Ma'am" and that it was very important he say that. I whispered to Evil Jester say "Yes Ma'am" I held up the phone to his mouth and he said "Yes Ma'am."
The second thing she told me was that she would not contact him directly but she would contact him via a recording to a personal line. I relayed this to him, he followed up with a "Yes ma'am" and she was satisfied. She then asked me to retrieve his personal contact number and give it to her. (Strange that she dealt with me on this instead of him) I gave it to her.

She then explained that she had a very important task for me and that I needed to help her. She was having trouble because certain things in this time did not look like they did back where she came from in 2552. Then she asked where I was:

MC: a restaurant
Mel: You mean a mess hall?
MC: Yeah a mess hall
Mel: Tell me something you see�
MC: (I look around and I see a salad bar� geez I am a dork.) A salad bar!
Mel: Salad bar? Like the liquid? Describe it for me.
MC: (not even close to being exact) Well salad isn't a liquid, it's a mix of vegetables� its kinda like a table with bowls on it, there are vegetables in the bowls and lettuce in the big one. People get empy bowls, put lettuce in it and put the other stuff on top, then they cover it in dressing.
Mel: They put clothes on their food?
MC: No, (frustrated when dealing with an AI who was being a smart ass Very Happy

but also humored) it's a condiment.
Mel: < Okay well I obviously don't know what a sala bar is or something to that effect > Your mission is to take a picture of this "Salad Bar" and create a "Photo Realistic Image" of its make in the year 2552. Some have referred to it as a now and then type thing.
MC: I will.
Mel: Good, You and Team Boise have done an excellent job.
MC: Thank you!
(missed some dialog, that was the meat of it)

So I hang up and get ready to sit back down� and the phone rings again.
MC: Hello?
SP: Hi
(she is definitely all kid like)
I told her who I was as "Mad Cow." She told me she was listening to my conversation with Melissa. (thinking ah great... don't quiz me!!!) Then for some stupid reason I said something like "What do you want?" in a very snobbish fashion.
SP: do you want to play a game?
MC:"Sure"
SP: you don't sound very excited.
MC: I am! I am!
SP: is there anyone else there?
MC: (shit� lost the game� I motion for my friend Evil Jester to come over.) Yeah, Evil Jester.
SP: OOOhh that's a fun name put him on!
(Keep in mind Evil Jester has blue/purple/turquoise/pink colored hair. We call him "my little pony" during the last Halo lan. She said "you must look beautiful" to him when he told her about it)
So I put him on and I don't know what she was telling him but she eventually asked him questions.
I was whispering to him, whatever question she asks you tell me and your answer!
< I was calling Angelo on my cell phone, got ahold of him and was telling him what Evil Jester was telling me >

So to the best of my recollection, this was the Q&A

What is a place you don't put a cat? Fireplace
Where is the farthest you've been from home? Canada
What was your favorite game you played as a kid? Monopoly
What is something you broke as a child? Plate
What is your favorite dinosaur? Velociraptor

What is something good to dance on? DDR Dance Pad (omg I new he would say this!)
(I don't remember the last one unfortunately I had a hell of a time trying to write it down)
She then asked to speak to the "cowboy"
SP: Cow?
MC: Yes?

SP: I am going to ask you 3 questions really fast and I want you to answer them, then you need to relay all of these answers to another axon five minutes from when I tell you.
MC: Okay
( for some reason I don't even know what my questions were or the answers, I was focused so much on the instructions of what to do and then the stupid look on Evil Jester.)

So I answered her questions. Then she said, in five minutes I have to call a number, so that when Melissa calls it will be busy, and That I must not talk for too long because she will call after Melissa does and ask them a question and they have to respond with one of my answers. She said, its 11:21 now you need to call in 5 minutes and don't talk longer than 5 minutes okay? Okay I replied. She gave me the number and hung up.

So I sat back down and tried to remember the answers to the questions cause most of them didn't get written down. I then hung up on Angelo and waited 2 minutes to call.
I called the number she gave me and a person answered "Apple bees payphone" I was like oh shit�.
MC: Is this a payphone?
AB: Yeah
MC: Are there any axon hunters their?
AB: Axon what?
MC: Are there any people around waiting for the payphone?
AB: No�
Click, I hung up I was gonna call 2 minutes later thinking the beekeepers wherever was there were running late.

I called back again 2 minutes later and go the same person. No bee hunters around. I explained someone was going to call in a few minutes and ask her questions and I need her to answer them with answers I gave her, she seemed okay with this.
I started giving her answers and she could barely hear me, I realized I had to go and just hung up. I called weephun and asked him if the site reflected anything. He said no� I was a little flustered and realized I was there for 30 minutes past my axon time talking on the phone to Melissa, SP and then Abble bees payphone.
Evil Jester and I then paid and left (we forgot to tip!!! Sad

) and then sprinted across a 8 lane road to the campus across the street to my car. On our way to the next axon about 10 minutes out driving and 25 minutes until it rand weephun called. And congratulated me� Apparently Awbrey or someone from Apple bees answered her questions right. It said instead of seeking "Angry Cows and Evil Jesters oooh my! Awbrey from Apple Bees bees bees"

The next call was just a recording. It was crystal_clear in which Jan gets the "stupid cop" to agree to lie for her about hearing shots fired at Monster Anns place.

when I got home, I started to work on my salad bar pics. I also made a gas station for her.

I hadent really thought of this earlier, and i may have missed disscusion to this effect but it looks like SP is fighting back! She wanted you to call and block Melissa's call so that she would be unable to make the connection and inform her crew. I would say that while we were busy thinking of things to make pictures of, SP was giving the crew the real test of our abilities. I wonder if we are going to see more and more of SP's underground rebelion.

::by the way, i like the sound of SP Underground MUCH better than SParmy and thats because i just made it up either...
