Genus seems less worried about LAINSY acting up again, it seems. I also inquired about Afyg's moons, and the possible surf Razz

Quote:

Hahaha, yes. I'm a bit excited to see how the Afygs actually look. I only hear voces, but have never had any vision about them. Yes, the surf should be awesome since the three moons actually move in the same speed as each other. If I got it right, one Afyg has told me that they actually made it that way. Although he didn't mention why.

Anyways, I'll be on my way with my team. I'll contact you when I get there.

Pretty cool insight into Afyg.

New email from Genus:

Quote:

I just wanted to send out an update to the group that I just arrived here on the Space Command Facility. We're about to get in and get LAINSY back up. Shouldn't take long.

Let's cross our fingers and hope she's still not homocidal.

Wow. Everything seems to happen while I'm unavailable. I did get to check in a couple times on my phone though. I sure am glad the earth didn't get desynched. Well, this is a fine mess you cooked up G$20. Present thyself for thy stoning!! Very Happy

Progress...

I almost died laughing when I read that. That's another dude who needs to run and hide, because if I ever find him, I'm setting LAINSY's lasers on his ass.

Why am I thinking, "I'd like to play a game of Global Thermonuclear War. How about a nice game of chess?"?

I've asked Genus what WMD is. Bet it has something to do with Whispher though.

Why is the USAF getting involved? What is WMD? Why send a C-17 when it has no weapons?

Reply:

I guess they're talking about the time desync that LAINSY started to activate (that didn't get activated anyways). And I don't know why they are sending in a C-17... I guess their main goal is just to take over the facility.

I also asked him some other questions. Got a funny reply...

Thanks for the help, and loyalty. I will answer your questions after I'm done dealing with this small problem...

Small problem indeed.

Quote:

COMMAND: lainsy egs charge primary 20p
* Earth Galactic Station primary weapon will be charged up to 20% only

* Charging complete. Ready to fire.

COMMAND: lainsy egs primary lock target "C-17 approaching SCF"
* Earth Galactic Station primary weapon locked on target. Ready to fire.

COMMAND: _

I wonder what 20% amounts to? Pea shooter or planetary shotgun?
