<HitsHerMark> good evening
<Browsin> Is she ok Mercurious? Just tired?
<Mercurious> Only Slash and Strike can exit their cells, but for limited periods.
<Mercurious> It takes them alot of energy to project themselves out into the main program.
<Mercurious> I believe it is because they are both the internet crystals. No other element can control programs as well.
<Browsin> Any luck tracking down the Shaws?
<Mercurious> Roberts: None...
<Mercurious> Roberts: I can't find them anywhere using Mercurious' cameras.
<Mercurious> Guard: Hey... Strike gave me a note.
<Mercurious> Guard: He put it through his cell door, said he found it through a little hacking.
<Browsin> Share with the class....ehehe.
<Mercurious> Guard: It says "anigozanthus".
<Mercurious> Guard: No clue what that means.
<Browsin> we have a good idea...
<Mercurious> Guard: Glad you guys know.
<Mercurious> Wait, guard, say that again.
<Mercurious> Guard: Um... anigozanthus
<Mercurious> Yeah... it's a plant.
<Mercurious> Guard: How can you tell.
<Mercurious> RoseThorn's vital signs twitch when you say that.
<HitsHerMark> There we go
<HitsHerMark> Hmmm, picture is broken
<Browsin> A flower actually...KangarooPaw....
<Mercurious> Picture is broken?
<Mercurious> Hmmm, do you have the file name?
<G3N3SIS> kangaroo
<HitsHerMark> heart.jpg
<G3N3SIS> heart?
<HitsHerMark> Yes
<Browsin> heart.jpg Merc.
<Mercurious> Ok... let me search for it.
<HitsHerMark> That picture doesn't show up in anigozanthus
<Gunslinger> and that log is still mising merc..
<Mercurious> You sure?
<Browsin> Is ChronoTwist in his cell Merc? Seems like he's running rampant in ProjectGateway
<Mercurious> He's in there. Sleeping very soundly.
<Mercurious> Does that help?
<Mercurious> I think I got the connections right.
<G3N3SIS> Yes.
<Mercurious> This program is so falling apart.
<Browsin> Bingo!
<G3N3SIS> Thank you.
<Mercurious> Anything I can do to help.
<HitsHerMark> There we go
<Mercurious> Roberts: At least you accept it's falling apart, CC32 never wanted to hear it.
<Mercurious> Does that help you all any?
<HitsHerMark> Yeah
<HitsHerMark> Hmmm
<Mercurious> Ok, making sure.
<Browsin> So far so good. At least steps in the proper direction
<Mercurious> Roberts: Reading that file hurts.
<Mercurious> Why?
<Mercurious> Roberts: I was... betrayed by my love?
*** Unknown command: EMOTE
*** Syntax: ME [action]
<Mercurious> Roberts, she was not your love, but the love of your creator.
<Mercurious> Roberts: It still hurts...
<G3N3SIS> Racheal is the Queen Of Hearts.
<HitsHerMark> Sad

<Mercurious> If it helps any, this file is still radiating plant energy.
<HitsHerMark> Looks like there might be something...
<Mercurious> From what my readings say.
<HitsHerMark> Does anybody else see that black mark at the top of the card?
<G3N3SIS> What do your reading say?
<G3N3SIS> Yes
<G3N3SIS> like an apostrophe
<G3N3SIS> or `
<HitsHerMark> Oh! I know what it is!
<Browsin> looks like the card from the fullhouse page.....(the line of connection)
<HitsHerMark> This is just a cut and paste job from full house
<G3N3SIS> Mercurios
<HitsHerMark> Jinx!
<G3N3SIS> Mercurious
<Mercurious> Yes?
<G3N3SIS> What the purpose of the rendezvous program?
<Mercurious> Um... Roberts?
<Mercurious> Roberts: All I got is that my creator told me it can help break apocalypse.
<Mercurious> Roberts: And to understand it, you must be correct and shift yourself to understand.
<HitsHerMark> Hmmm
<HitsHerMark> That rather sounds like a clue
<G3N3SIS> What about the ones we missed?
<G3N3SIS> Can we make it up or are they Irrelevant?
<HitsHerMark> Yeah... I"m here... *now*... Very Happy

<Mercurious> Roberts: Um... I can't access the program anymore, so apparently not.
<Mercurious> Roberts... why did that page just change?
<HitsHerMark> *snap*
<Mercurious> Roberts: What page?
<Mercurious> Anigozanthus...
<Mercurious> Roberts: I didn't do it.
<Mercurious> Guard: Don't look at me, I got my newspaper.
<HitsHerMark> Bloody little plant...
<HitsHerMark> That partt?
<Mercurious> Yeah... that part....
<Browsin> wasnt any of you? subconscious or otherwise?
<Mercurious> Roberts... scan for command prompt remnant files.
<Mercurious> Roberts: Will do.
<Mercurious> I don't like that.
<G3N3SIS> What is the first name of RoseThorn?
<Browsin> Guard: Anything good in the paper today?
<Mercurious> Real name?
<G3N3SIS> Yes. You may keep the last.
<Mercurious> Guard: Just something about how the world is going to end. That's all.
<Mercurious> I'm sorry, it's classified.
<Browsin> Guard: They dont happen to have a time/date for that do they?
<G3N3SIS> Understood.
<Mercurious> Guard: Nope. Just some article saying that the world will end "soon".
<Mercurious> Guard: Sounds bogus to me.
<HitsHerMark> Love in idleness
<HitsHerMark> ... Maybe I read too much Shakespeare... Smile

<Mercurious> Maybe it has something to do with the "lie down"?
<Mercurious> Just a hunch from my logic run-time.
<Mercurious> It seems too out of place for the page.
<HitsHerMark> ... Transplant?
<HitsHerMark> Razz

<Mercurious> Guard: Good gag. I like it.
<HitsHerMark> That would be bloody, and you need to lie down for it
<HitsHerMark> And it involves hearts...
<HitsHerMark> But that's not it
<HitsHerMark> gah, phone brb
<Browsin> its form of lie...as in fib..not lay...as in lay down...
<G3N3SIS> Maybe its Lie to Shadown stephen, Lie to Shadown.
<Mercurious> Hmmm....
<Mercurious> Not sure.
<HitsHerMark> Well... "Rachel" meas "small sheep" in Hebrew...
<Browsin> or i'm an idiot and dont speak english well...
<HitsHerMark> So, I don't think that goes anywhere
<G3N3SIS> Nope
<Browsin> which i am, by the way.
<HitsHerMark> Yeah, don't forget "cheeta" Browsin
<HitsHerMark> Smile

<G3N3SIS> True Cheeta
<Mercurious> Who was smoking what when they made that file?
<G3N3SIS> Cheeta = Cheetah
<Mercurious> Roberts: Wasn't me.
<HitsHerMark> I wasn't smoking anything when I found it... I just can't spell.
<Browsin> Ask RoseThorn..she's the queen of plants. Smile

<HitsHerMark> Ha!
<G3N3SIS> Bloody plant
<G3N3SIS> hmm...
<G3N3SIS> The only bloody plant i know of is
<G3N3SIS> a ROSE
<HitsHerMark> there's amaranth
<Mercurious> Amaranth?
<G3N3SIS> Nice find
<HitsHerMark> Very Happy

<G3N3SIS> love-lies-bleeding
<Mercurious> Rose's vitals twitched again.
<Mercurious> Searching Amaranth....
<Mercurious> Ha!
<Mercurious> 1 hit.
<Mercurious> Roberts: Maybe having you around is a good thing.
<Mercurious> Display Match: (Link: http://home.comcast.net/~projectgateway/amaranthus.htm)http://home.comcast.net/~projectgateway/amaranthus.htm
<Gunslinger> Key....
<HitsHerMark> w00t!
<HitsHerMark> I always liked Amaranth
<Mercurious> Love lies bleeding. Interesting.
<Mercurious> Thank you Mistress RoseThorn.
<Gunslinger> Damn... it seems we're getting dumber by the minute.., well, me at least...
<Mercurious> Guard: You guys submitting something?
<HitsHerMark> yup
<Mercurious> Guard: Damn.. that means I have to walk to my mailbox.
<G3N3SIS> Heh.
<Browsin> You said the paper was boring...
<HitsHerMark> bombs away
<HitsHerMark> A wreath of amaranth was said to grant invisability
<HitsHerMark> ... And it was the "name" of a group of V:TM players I once belonged to. Very Happy

<G3N3SIS> Yes I remember that.
<Gunslinger> what is amaranthum anyways??
<HitsHerMark> A plant
<Mercurious> Guard: You sure you sent that?
<Gunslinger> I supposed so, but is it like a rose?
<Gunslinger> I also sent it...
<G3N3SIS> But no one calls it that anymore
<G3N3SIS> amaranthum
<Mercurious> Guard: Maybe there's a delay in the system... I'll wait.
<Gunslinger> let me look for an image..
<HitsHerMark> here
<G3N3SIS> same way its spelt in my book
<HitsHerMark> (Link: http://plants.usda.gov/cgi_bin/plant_profile.cgi?symbol=AMRE)http://plants.usda.gov/cgi_bin/plant_profile.cgi?symbol=AMRE
<G3N3SIS> but my book is circa 1900's
<HitsHerMark> Ahhh this one's better
<HitsHerMark> (Link: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/annuals/loveliesbleeding.html)http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/annuals/loveliesbleeding.html
<HitsHerMark> You haven't gotten it yet guard?
<Gunslinger> I see it now.. First time I heard the name, and I'm pretty shure it's the first time I see the plant..
<G3N3SIS> I have bunch outside my house in jamaica
<G3N3SIS> but we call it cat tail..
<G3N3SIS> or Lizard tounge
<HitsHerMark> Does it smell good?
<Mercurious> Guard: No... the system doesn't like you tonight.
<HitsHerMark> Hmm
<HitsHerMark> Let me try again
<G3N3SIS> Hotmail always takes a while.
<HitsHerMark> I used gmail to send
<HitsHerMark> I'll send again from hotmail... Or...
<Mercurious> Guard: I hijacked CC32's AIM account.
<G3N3SIS> Mercurios
<Gunslinger> Gateway's on, I mean CC32..
<Gunslinger> Oh...
<G3N3SIS> I see you now.
<Browsin> Phew...i thought cc32 managed to survive the purge
<Mercurious> Guard: Everyone sees me now.
<Mercurious> He better not have.
<HitsHerMark> Okay, I've sent it from both my gmail and my hotmail accounts
<HitsHerMark> or we can try a file transfer over AIM
<Gunslinger> We did it, not sure if mine arrived first, but its there..
<HitsHerMark> woot
<Mercurious> Guard: And the sendee winner is elgulp.
<HitsHerMark> Razz

~~~~~~~~~
<HitsHerMark> Very Happy

<Gunslinger> aka Gunslinger...
<Mercurious> Guard: HitsHerMark should have won, but there was a connection error.
<Mercurious> Guard: Sorry ma'am.
<HitsHerMark> That's okay
<Mercurious> Guard: And now to insert the file.
<Gunslinger> We can change it and put her name on it...
<HitsHerMark> It's not a race
<G3N3SIS> what the.
<HitsHerMark> Or both of us!
<G3N3SIS> AIM was reporting that
<G3N3SIS> A connection could not be made.
<Gunslinger> that would be good... Wink

<Mercurious> Guard: And now... to INSERT the file.
<Mercurious> Guard: INSERT DAMN YOU!
<Mercurious> Hey, hey, don't break it!
<G3N3SIS> Is it crooked?
<HitsHerMark> Don't make me keep reloading... Smile

<Mercurious> Guard: Looks fine.
<HitsHerMark> Uh oh
<Gunslinger> Maybe I jinxed it for beating you... Sad

<Mercurious> Guard: Get IN YOUR HOLE!
<HitsHerMark> ...
<Mercurious> Guard: Don't you like your hole?
<HitsHerMark> *snerk*
<Mercurious> Guard: Are you too good for it?
<G3N3SIS> Heh.
<latecomer> lol
<Gunslinger> Just tap it in..... a little tap a roo....
<G3N3SIS> What if Rose is refusing it?
<Mercurious> Ok, now that we killed cliche movie quotes...
<Mercurious> Guard: That's from a movie?
* Mercurious slaps himself.
<Mercurious> Guard: Hey... what time is it?
<Mercurious> Guard: In EST...
<Gunslinger> A great movie... I'm laughing now just remebering...
<G3N3SIS> 1:13 AM
<HitsHerMark> 10:13 PST
<HitsHerMark> so.....
<HitsHerMark> What G3 said
<Mercurious> Guard: DOH!
<G3N3SIS> No keys after midnight.
<Mercurious> You have to wait until midnight, don't you?
<G3N3SIS> Huh.
<Mercurious> Guard: Uh huh...
<Browsin> Its midnight somewhere Smile

<Browsin> well almos
<HitsHerMark> But all day is after midnight!
<Mercurious> That's it, who made this damn program?
<Browsin> almost.
<Mercurious> Roberts: I did.
<HitsHerMark> So change it
<Mercurious> Roberts: Sorta.
<HitsHerMark> You're in charge Mercurious
<Mercurious> Oh you did not, you just think you did because you're patterened after the programmer.
<Mercurious> Roberts: Yeah...
<Mercurious> That's right... I am in charge...
<HitsHerMark> Dang skippy
<Mercurious> Um...
<G3N3SIS> Rpoberts If you would put in a backdoor were would you put it?
<HitsHerMark> In back?
<Mercurious> KEY ACCEPTANCE SET: infinity
<Mercurious> Roberts: Um, yeah, in back.
<HitsHerMark> w00t!
<Mercurious> Guard: And that seems to have done it. It's reading the key file now.
<latecomer> W00T!!
<HitsHerMark> reload dagnabbit!
<Mercurious> Guard: It's still loading.
<Mercurious> This is boring.
<HitsHerMark> *pout*
<Mercurious> Guard: Hey, it's how things work.
<HitsHerMark> I agree... *points at Mercurious* You! Hiaku! Now!
<Mercurious> I'm not built for Hiakus.
<G3N3SIS> You have free will.
<G3N3SIS> Expand your code.
<HitsHerMark> He's Mercurious
<HitsHerMark> Not programmed for hiaku
<Gunslinger> We can play riddles, like with Blaine...
<HitsHerMark> Poor little fellow
<Mercurious> Faceless, just numbered.
<Mercurious> Lone pixel in the bitmap-
<HitsHerMark> No! NOT LIKE WITH BLAINE!
<Mercurious> I, anonymous.
<HitsHerMark> Smile

<G3N3SIS> Nice one.
<Mercurious> There it's a haiku.
<HitsHerMark> Yea Mercurious!
<latecomer> <Clap, Clap>
<HitsHerMark> Hey!
<HitsHerMark> There's no new command with RoseThorn getting unlocked?
<Browsin> unlocked....no command!
<Mercurious> Guard: It's still loading!
<Mercurious> Guard: You got to be precious with it.
<Mercurious> Roberts: It never took this long before.
<HitsHerMark> But me and egulp are listed together! Very Happy

<Gunslinger> great...
<G3N3SIS> Wow. This is gonna be harder than flowers
<Browsin> hey...are there missing letters on the doors...or is it me?
<Gunslinger> spaces, I think
<HitsHerMark> We figured both out, we just didn't spell them right. Smile

<Mercurious> Guard: It's still loading.
<G3N3SIS> Ya dont they spell
<G3N3SIS> LIght in the Darkness
<G3N3SIS> Thats what you said last time
<G3N3SIS> was all on the door
<Gunslinger> firestorm is missing a letter. It couldn't be "li"
<Mercurious> Guard: Key's done.
<G3N3SIS> What comes befor and after it
<Mercurious> You say it like it's a food product.
<HitsHerMark> ... chat
<HitsHerMark> Not up. Razz

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<latecomer> 404
<Gunslinger> no good, I think..
<G3N3SIS> doesnt work
<HitsHerMark> Very Happy

<Mercurious> Roberts: Hello users.
<HitsHerMark> HEllo Roberts!
<Mercurious> Roberts: If you are reading this message, I am no longer among you.
<Mercurious> Roberts?
<G3N3SIS> Understood.
<HitsHerMark> That don't sound good
<G3N3SIS> It is'nt
<Mercurious> Roberts: After escaping from A51, I could no longer bear life.
<Gunslinger> The letters are ok now. It's "Light in the Darkness shall save"
<HitsHerMark> Now I really don't like the way this sounds
<Mercurious> Roberts: I found that my true love was the one who turned me in.
<Mercurious> Roberts: I have fallen for her. I can love no other.
<G3N3SIS> So depressing.
<HitsHerMark> Ohhhh, don't be a good Greek Woman Roberts...
<Mercurious> Roberts: It is clear to me now that Project Gateway has to be stopped. This is why I am purposely enacting my protocol.
<Mercurious> Roberts: If the Nightmare Cannon should fire, the apocalypse will occur.
<Mercurious> Roberts: This cannot happen.
<Mercurious> Roberts: But, once again, if you are reading this, you must have found the keys I have spread far and wide.
<HitsHerMark> (on comcast)
<HitsHerMark> ( Razz

)
<Mercurious> Roberts: Once ALL keys are inserted into the program, the final door shall open and Section 32 shall be saved.
<Mercurious> Roberts: I am sorry for putting up so many puzzles, but I did not want these files to fall into the hands of the Shadow Government.
<Mercurious> Roberts: If you are not involved with Section 32 directly, then I am also sorry for dragging you into this.
<Mercurious> Roberts: I do realize that I have instructed my AI and Command Prompt to assimiliate into public data storages, starting with tripod.com
<Mercurious> Roberts: Their message had to be heard some how, I had no other choice.
<Mercurious> Roberts: Hopefully they have not caused too much damage to the systems.
<Mercurious> Roberts: I am writing this note from my laptop as I sit in my car... I've parked on a bridge.
<Mercurious> Roberts: The world certainly is beautiful.
<Mercurious> Roberts: I will miss it.
<Mercurious> Roberts: I have already taken arsenic, and filled my tank to the maximum.
<Mercurious> Roberts: One last time, I urge you to get all the keys back into their proper positions.
<Mercurious> Roberts: And break the apocalypse code to end this madness.
<Mercurious> Roberts: If you need me, I'll be at the bottom of a river somewhere.
<Mercurious> Roberts: Good day, users.
<HitsHerMark> Great... Somebody drag all the rivers so I can kick his ass.
<Mercurious> Roberts: The final keys are somewhere in the system.
<HitsHerMark> If is intention was to make his car explode, he really should have only filled it up to one quarter ot the way...
<Mercurious> Roberts: I labeled them with the ending .txt. Search for them.
<G3N3SIS> Too bad Hope is locked up.
<G3N3SIS> He could of really used her.
<G3N3SIS> wait that sounded wrong.
<Mercurious> Roberts: Um.... why's everyone looking at me?
* Mercurious sighs.
<Mercurious> You're a moron.
<G3N3SIS> You went Answering Machine on us.
<Mercurious> Roberts: Wait, everyone's looking at me because I'm a moron answering machine?
<HitsHerMark> maybe that's what the chat thing was
<HitsHerMark> not a command for the prompt, but a command for the AI
<G3N3SIS> Yes definetly/
<G3N3SIS> Now the ending.txt
<HitsHerMark> trying to search for .txt at info cyclone
<HitsHerMark> It's not working
<G3N3SIS> not that easy
<G3N3SIS> the search doesnt inlcude filenames
<G3N3SIS> *File Estensions
<HitsHerMark> Ah hah!!!
<Gunslinger> I found a explosionkey.txt
<G3N3SIS> We have that
<G3N3SIS> TROUT!
<HitsHerMark> no other .txts on IC that I can see
<Browsin> got poison!
<Browsin> (Link: http://www.infocyclone.org/poisonkey.txt)http://www.infocyclone.org/poisonkey.txt
<Mercurious> Bravo!
<latecomer> (Link: http://www.infocyclone.org/earthkey.txt)http://www.infocyclone.org/earthkey.txt
<HitsHerMark> w00t!
<G3N3SIS> darn just beat me to them
<Mercurious> Guard: *Sigh* Now I have to go hijack again...
<Gunslinger> Open that doors and let the whoop ass begin...
<HitsHerMark> *snoopy dance*
<Browsin> incoming...one more key folks...need ALL the keys..that means
<G3N3SIS> GO ahead and hijack
<Gunslinger> send them through IM...
<Mercurious> Guard: Yeah... I'm hijacked.
<HitsHerMark> the key for the unoccupied cell?
<Gunslinger> didn't merc kick it down?
<Gunslinger> the door I mean...
<Mercurious> Nah, that was the door to the Nightmare Cannon.
<HitsHerMark> No that was the Nightmare door
<Mercurious> We put it back up, by the way.
<Mercurious> Guard: Who just sent poison?
<Browsin> me! Thomas.Baker
<G3N3SIS> I did.
<Browsin> apparently everyone did.
<Gunslinger> do the two names thing...
<Mercurious> Guard: General consensus seems to be that everyone likes poison more than earth.
<G3N3SIS> heh
<Gunslinger> Gen and Browsin
<G3N3SIS> Sent earth
<HitsHerMark> I didn't bother this time. Very Happy

<HitsHerMark> I could send them if you'd like to make it a consensis...
<G3N3SIS> I just noticed
<G3N3SIS> I'm the only person who is authorized
<G3N3SIS> and not on the list
<Gunslinger> what about the last key being labeled "Gatecrashers"..
<G3N3SIS> Hmm maybe the key to nightmare
<latecomer> apocolypse maybe?
<HitsHerMark> I'm sure Shadown would like to stuff us all in the last cell but I don't think so
<Browsin> it must be darkness....
<Gunslinger> yeah, Apocalypse was mentioned a lot..
<HitsHerMark> Nope
<HitsHerMark> Not darkness
<HitsHerMark> great minds Browsin
<HitsHerMark> AcidicFire and EarthQuake still look locked to me
<HitsHerMark> ah, there we go
<Mercurious> Guard: Keys done.
<Gunslinger> unlocked, but no comm
<Browsin> Give the Guard time..he's not used to all the excitement
<Mercurious> Guard: I'm on it, the system isn't.
<HitsHerMark> I don't think my refresh button can take much more of this. Very Happy

<G3N3SIS> hit F5
<Gunslinger> Neither my eyelids...
<Mercurious> Guard: Whelp, that's all I got
<Greyelf> great work ppl
<Gunslinger> I hope there's a puzzle or something.. I'm falling asleep..
<Mercurious> Guard: No commands.
<Mercurious> Guard: That's what the system is returning. No commands.
<Mercurious> Guard: I'm speechless.
<Browsin> Are the cells unlocked?
<Browsin> open..i mean
<Mercurious> No... they're still quite locked.
<Mercurious> This is odd.
<Gunslinger> then we have to figure out the rendezvous thing...
<G3N3SIS> We need darkness
<G3N3SIS> the last cell
<Browsin> status cell 3231
<Browsin> ?
<Mercurious> It's empty.
<Mercurious> Open, but empty.
<G3N3SIS> We need darkness
<Mercurious> Guard: No key though, chief.
<G3N3SIS> Hmm...
<Mercurious> This is a problem.
<Greyelf> do we need to place someone in the last cell?
<HitsHerMark> Let's stick Shadown in there!
<Gunslinger> Wait, doesn't someone have to embody darkness in order to get into the system?
<G3N3SIS> We need to gather all the shards
<Browsin> All we need is the key i believe...right guard?
<Mercurious> Guard: Right, just the key file.
<Browsin> Well....lets get that key!
<Mercurious> FOR GODSAKES DON'T PUT DARKNESS IN THERE!
<Gunslinger> Maybe when shadown gets all the shards, he's gonna use them on himself and then get into the system..
<Gunslinger> To complete the circuit for the cannon..
<Mercurious> The crystal, I mean.
<HitsHerMark> We need the key, not the crystal
<Mercurious> Roberts: Merc, the system returned some cc32 remnant files.
<Mercurious> I better go everyone...
<Browsin> Remnant files?
<HitsHerMark> bugger
<G3N3SIS> Roberts can you list the files found?
<Mercurious> I'll come back again tomorrow at the same time.
<latecomer> Thank you for your help, Merc and Co.
<Mercurious> Roberts: Just a couple scattered data files.
<Browsin> Thank you.
<G3N3SIS> Thank you.
<Mercurious> It's my pleasure. I want to help.
<HitsHerMark> YEah, um... that scares me.
<G3N3SIS> Data files can hold clues.
<HitsHerMark> But thanks. Very Happy

<Mercurious> I can't just sit back and watch my creator stay locked up.
<Mercurious> Roberts: Don't worry, Merc and I will get them.
<G3N3SIS> Yes free the Cyber's
<Mercurious> Take care everyone.
<HitsHerMark> Just don't let them come alive and eat you.
<Gunslinger> same to u Merc..
<Mercurious> Disconnect.......... done.
*** Signoff: Mercurious (Quit: ---Line Disconnected---)
<G3N3SIS> Hey he fixed the quit
<HitsHerMark> Heh
<Gunslinger> great game everyone....
<Browsin> woah. Glad for the help Smile

Now we just have to solve rendezvous, and find darkness
<HitsHerMark> Okay... I just read back a bit, and I only just now realise how slap happy I am... I think I"m going to go to bed.
<G3N3SIS> Everyone lets put our hands together for HitsHerMark the MVP of the night.
<HitsHerMark> *blush*
<Browsin> woohoo!
<Gunslinger> \m/
* G3N3SIS Stands and Claps
<latecomer> <Clap, Clap, Clap...Woohoo!!>
* Gunslinger awards an Honoris Causa in Botanics to HHM
<HitsHerMark> Okay, I can stay up a little later. Very Happy

<HitsHerMark> Thank you.
<G3N3SIS> W00t!
<G3N3SIS> So who logged?
<Browsin> not me...silly java client
<HitsHerMark> I can do it starting from when I logged in
<G3N3SIS> Ok then i guess I post.
<HitsHerMark> trillian is awsome like that
<G3N3SIS> or not
<G3N3SIS> being kicked to bed bye
*** Signoff: G3N3SIS (Quit: )

[22:59] <Browsin> greetings mercurious
[22:59] <Mercurious> Goodevening GateCrashers.
[22:59] <Gunslinger> sup Merc?
[22:59] <latecomer> lo Merc
[22:59] <Mercurious> Roberts: They're still not at A51.
[22:59] <Mercurious> We have bad news.
[23:00] <randomeis> hey merc do you use MIrc?
[23:00] <Mercurious> Darkblade and Shadown have not returned to A51 yet.
[23:00] <Mercurious> No, I do not connect through that program.
[23:00] <randomeis> where could they be?
[23:00] <Browsin> When did they disappear?
[23:01] <Mercurious> Roberts: 2 nights ago, approximately.
[23:01] <G3N3SIS> They must be searching for the shards,
[23:01] <Mercurious> Roberts: I'm not sure, I did not monitor A51 the day Mercurious was inserted into the system, I apologize.
[23:01] <Mercurious> Roberts: I was too worried command prompt would delete his installation files.
[23:02] <G3N3SIS> Mercurious what is your purpose?
[23:02] <Mercurious> My purpose is to assess data for Section 32 and prepare basic responses to criminal threats.
[23:02] <Mercurious> I am an information seeker, ready to notify Section 32 at a moment's notice.
[23:03] <Mercurious> I am also the AI of the base's main system, and I organize all appopriate criminal files and transmission files and mission files.
[23:03] <Mercurious> Roberts: He's similar to Command Prompt's structure, since Command Prompt was based off of his program.
[23:03] <Mercurious> But I am not Command Prompt.
[23:04] <Mercurious> Roberts: I understand that.
[23:04] <Browsin> Speaking of missionlogs...any idea as to the location of missionlog063?
[23:04] <Mercurious> Mission Log 063 according to which operative?
[23:05] <Browsin> I'm guessing BlackHole, as it is the command related to his cell.
[23:05] <Mercurious> Seeking.
[23:05] <Mercurious> Yes, the command is referencing the file.
[23:05] <G3N3SIS> Which operatives were present on tht mission?
[23:05] <G3N3SIS> *that
[23:06] <Mercurious> Ah... I see... somehow Project Gateway is tapping into ChronoTwists' memory.
[23:06] <Mercurious> Let me repair the link.
[23:07] <Mercurious> Repairing... please wait....
[23:07] <Browsin> Thank you.
[23:07] <Mercurious> Repairs completed.
[23:09] <Mercurious> My god... so that's how they were captured.
[23:10] <Browsin> A trap?
[23:10] <randomeis> betrayed?
[23:10] <Mercurious> Betrayed... I don't think so...
[23:11] <Mercurious> The last mission I sent them to was the rescue mission for Roberts.
[23:11] <G3N3SIS> A trap then.
[23:11] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: It was all staged.
[23:11] <Mercurious> Mistress Slash, you shouldn't be out here.
[23:11] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: Nonsense, I have enough energy to hold my form, for now.
[23:12] <Browsin> Slash:Who staged it?
[23:13] <Browsin> nice to meet you finally...
[23:13] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: You as well. We're not really sure who staged it.
[23:13] <Mercurious> Roberts: It was Shadown.
[23:13] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: So it was him then?
[23:13] <Mercurious> Roberts: He was the one who demanded my creation.
[23:14] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: All we know is that Brendan called us saying he heard from Roberts that he was being held hostage out west.
[23:14] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: We were concerned with Roberts since we heard about his disappearance.
[23:14] <G3N3SIS> Roberts is it possible there is a backdoor in your program?
[23:14] <Mercurious> Roberts: My personal program?
[23:14] <G3N3SIS> Yes.
[23:15] <Mercurious> Roberts: No... since the upgrade I have total free will.
[23:15] <Mercurious> Roberts: I can no longer be controlled.
[23:16] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: We went in... and they were all there...
[23:16] <Gunslinger> All who?
[23:16] <Browsin> they?
[23:16] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: I've never seen them all work together before...
[23:16] <G3N3SIS> Who? Section Wite?
[23:16] <G3N3SIS> The criminals of Pottsville?
[23:16] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: White, the Dolls, the Mafia, the Gang... all of them.
[23:17] <Gunslinger> It was an ambush...
[23:17] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: And they had these white guns... that fired these screwed up rays... and then I woke up in here.
[23:17] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: I... ugh...
[23:17] <Mercurious> Mistress Slash!
[23:17] <Browsin> Careful Slash...please dont over stress yourself.
[23:18] <Mercurious> CyberSlash: I have to go back to my cell... sorry everyone.

Well, since cell 3231 is unassigned, the logical conlusion is that the key contains the string "I am unassigned". I've posted a comment to the CC32 section of Information Cyclone's Feedback, telling Mercurious of my theory.

Here's hoping it works.
