I used to be a warrior, but now I've retired !and serve as bartender here at the base. I know lots about monsters, armor, !weapons, etc. What you want to know about? *NAME +Name's Defs Sacre, like I said. *JOB +I'm just bartender here. I used to be a wasteland warrior, but I've long +since retired. I know about lots of things though. *DEATH +Ah yes, the Death Warriors. They're a nasty bunch. Rumor has it they have +down on them main highway to the south. I've known a couple of guys who tried +to get inside, but they never returned. Seems to me the only way to get in +would be to find some way to trick them into thinking you were one of them. *WEAPON +I know lots about weapons. What do you want to know about? Short range or +long range weapons? I also have used some grenades in my time. *SHORT +There are lots of short range weapons. My favorite is the Slicer-Dicer. They +don't sell them around here - I found it on some kinda robot a ways away from +here. Hell of a battle getting the thing. *LONG +I prefer to use a gravblaster. The ammo for em is damn expensive, but they +really trash whoever you're fighting. *GRENADE +Grenades are one of my favorites. Since the explosion is so large, you have +a much better chance of hitting something than you have with a ranged weapon. +Back in my fightin' days, I used to carry around a grenade pack or two. +Run into somnething nasty like a terminator, you can throw a grenade at it +and get a guarenteed hit before the hand-to-hand starts. Real nice. *BBS +The only BBS I've ever heard of is the Not-Yet-Named bbs. *Not-Yet-Named +The Not-Yet-Named bbs? I heard it was quite a place before the war. The +number was 602-577-3650. *ARMOR +There are lot's of enhanced armor types in the more distant areas of the +wasteland. I picked up something pretty cool once that the techs here called +"Energy armor". Got it off a dead Death Warrior Leader. *MONSTER +The wasteland is populated by many different creatures. Most of the ones +around the base here are pretty wimpy and some are even unarmed. But once you +go farther out, things get real nasty real quick. What monster do you want to +know about? *RAD HOUND +Come on man, you should be able to take a rad hound easy. They're just a +beast - no real intelligence to them whatsoever. *RAT +The Giant Rat? Another example of what the rads can do to things. I tell +you, I always carry around a medkit to reduce the effects of the rads on +me. *REPTILE +We got em all out here in the wasteland - Giant Rats, Giant Reptiles, Giant +Vultures, etc. They're just a freak of nature - caused by too much rads. *ANT +Ant Men? They are a strange lot. Kind of a cross between an ant and a man. +Nobody knows how it happened - probably more radiation caused mutation. *VULTURE +Nasty critter. It's flying capabilities make it hard to hit. The claws on +that thing can tear right through a guy's armor. Nasty.... *MUTANT +We tell people not to venture out into the wasteland unprotected, but some +just don't listen. It's sad, but there's not much we can do about it. Once +the rads get to em, they are completely changed - barely even human +anymore. *VALLEY +Bunch of em came over from california before the earthquake. They're not hard +to beat, but they are a neusence. Most of em used to be cheerleaders. Pretty +nice looking too if you don't mind the green mutant skin. *BANDIT +The wasteland is full of bandits. They're pretty weak - usually only armed +with a dagger and cloth armor. Not much of a challenge for an experienced +adventurer. *INSANE +Yeah, it's pretty sad - some of our guys just can take the pressure out there. +They go completely mad. Nasty thing is, they have all of our training and +equipment on them. Make's em tough to fight. *DROID +There are many different types of droids around out there. Most of +them are simple machines, but some like the terminators are cyborgs. Most +droids using some kind of iron or steel plating armor. Stuff's useless for +me and you though - too heavy. *TERMINATOR +The terminators are pretty nasty. Most people think they're simply machines, +but theres a human brain inside em that does the thinking. I know cause I +bashed ones head open once. The terminator's real strength is it's armor - +It's got G-4 steel plating. Stuff's too heavy for humans to use, but most +places will buy it up for a decent price - it's hard to find good quality +steel these days. *WIDOW +The Black Widows? I've heard some talk of a new gang out in the mountains +called the black widows. They're supposedly pretty nasty. Theyve got their +own enhanced weapons and armor - WidowLance, Widow Armor, etc. Their +weapons use some kind of enhanced energy pack called a "WidowPack". Don't +know of any stores that sell the WidowPacks - If you want to use any widow +weapons, you'll have to locate your own ammo. *SECURITY +Rumor has it there are some funny looking guys out there with +uniforms that say "Federation Of Planets" or something. God only knows who +they are or why they're here. They're pretty well trained and well equipped. +I wouldn't want to have to go up against one. Some dude named Kirk leads +them. *Kirk +He's the leader of some weird dudes out there - security officers +or something. Don't know much about him. Nobody has ever talked to him and +got away in one piece. *MEDKIT +Ask Hadley about that.... -Whatever you say, dude.... @Later, dude. Hope to see you again in one piece. :2 #Jeffrey !Hi there! My names Jeffrey. Just got back from the wasteland this morning. !I took out three terminators with my bare hands.... And that was while I !was blindfolded!!! So, whats up? *JOB +I'm a trainee here. But actually, I am the best warrior here at the base. It's +a secret, ya know... *NAME +They call me Jeffrey. Don't know my last name - my parents were killed by +death commandos when I was very young. I got my revenge though - killed fifty +of them just last week. *BLINDFOLDED +Yeah, I was blindfolded. Wish someone had been there to see it though. The +guys here at Sacre Base don't believe me. Next time, I'll tie a hand behind +my back as well. Or maybe two hands... Terminators are easy to kill. At least +for an ace warrior like me. *TERMINATOR +The Terminator is a pretty wimpy machine. At least for me... It might be a +bit more difficult for someone less skilled like yourself. *YOURSELF +You really need to practice some more. I would try to train you myself, +but I am really too busy hunting terminators. Perhaps someone less +experienced than myself could help you. Defs Sacre, perhaps. I tought him +everything I know. *RECRUIT +I'm not a recruit - they just think I am. Beaurocratic stuff, you know. I'm +really an ace warrior. Never get any credit though. *BART +Who told you that? Someone is spreading rumors around about me. Of course +I was not beat up by a Bart. I mean, come on, be serious, I hunt Terminators +for a living! -Oh, who cares about that. I don't deal with such wimpy things. @Good. You've delayed me long enough. I got to go back to the wasteland and @kill odd a cyclops or two. :3 #Hadley !Names Hadley, Troy Hadley. You wouldn't have any steaks, would you? ... Oh !never mind. What you want, dude? *JOB +I'm a tech for the store room here at the base - My main specialty is +devices and accessories. Need to know anything about a particular devices? *NAME +Troy Hadley. Can't you read? *DEVICE +I did some work on the LRScan and Scanner for example. They're pretty useful +when you're stuck in a bind. I also did some work on the GS-224 Laptop. Nice +machine. *LRSCAN +The LRSCAN locks into one of them spy satellites that was abandoned after +the war. It can generate you a 9 by 9 map of your current grid location. I +hear they work good if you get lost. There is also a LRScan ROM/Adapter +that will give a GS-224 laptop lrscan capability. *SCANNER +Scanners? Designed the prototype myself. It sends out a scanning beam and +can give you a bearing and distance to nearby objects - like holes and +towns and such. Nice for exploring unfamiliar territory. There is also +a Scanner ROM/Adapter that will give your GS-224 laptop scanner +capability. *RADIO +The field radio isn't really a necessity - but if you get stuck in the +wasteland and want to talk with somebody, it can be quite nice. One day +ol' Jeffrey called in on his claiming he'd slayed a terminator. We all ran +out to see and it turned out to be a robotic vacuum cleaner. Damn thing beat +the hell out of Jeffrey too! We all got a good laugh out of that one. *MEDKIT +I'm not a doctor so I don't know much about them. I know they make the +medecine out of herbs that they locate out in the wasteland. That's why +you can sell herbs for so high around here. If a guy could build his own +medkit producer and gather up some herbs, he might be able to make himself +a nice business. *RATIONS +Yuck! Those things are disgusting. Made from dead rad hounds and such. But, +they're about all we can mass-produce around here. I bet the supply store +would pay a good price for some good ol' fashioned steaks if you could find +some. *STEAK +I sure wish I could get my hands on some steaks. These damn troop rations +taste horrible. I sent word to the manager of the Horticulture center a +while ago, but nothing... *HORT +The horticulture station is somewhere east of here in the freedom mountains. +It's to the south of freedom city, just past the pylon. You can't miss it. +Take the main highway and head east. If you bring me back them steaks the +manager promised me, there'll be something special in it for you.... *ROPE +Rope? Just somethin' the supply station tries to sell you. Has no real +purpose whatsoever. *LAPTOP +The Laptop is one of my favorites. It's got a 80686JX processor equipped with +an 80 meg ram drive and a ROM cartidge adapter. The ROM cartidge adapter is +really nice. Lets you upload any ROM apps that you want into the laptop. *ROM +The computer store in the supply station sells a variety of ROM apps. I've +heard you can find even more out in the wasteland. Any particular ROM that +you are interested in? *NOTES +The notes ROM is pretty cool. We designed it for adventurers like Defs Sacre +who have a habit of forgetting things. It will automatically record any +hole up/down, towns, etc that you pass. You can then read it any time you +want. *RANKINGS +The rankings ROM uses the laptop's built in RF Modem to call up Sacre Base +and grab the player rankings for you. *VIEWLOG +The viewlog ROM uses the laptop's built in RF Modem. It calls up Sacre Base +and grabs the log of recent activity for you to view. *TRANSFER +The transfer program uses the laptop's fiber optic link. You attach the link +to another laptop and you can grab any software you want off of it. Nice if +you find somebody else's laptop and want to grab some apps off of it. *AUTONAV +Autonav is something we are working on to automatically navigate you to a +certain coordinate on the wasteland. It's currently in the experimental +stage. *FORTLIST +The fortlist program will display a listing of any fortresses you own. It +displays their coords, name, owner, products for sale/buy, objects in the +store room, and energy and med doses on hand. In addition to the bases that +you own, it will list any bases registered with the trading union. *CSTATS +The CSTATS (stands for combat-stats) program will tell you your hit/miss +chances against various monsters. I compiled the monster database myself. *WHIZ +You've been speaking with Whiz? Good guy. I sent him out on assignment +a while ago to investigate some software hacks. *SOFTWARE +Whiz knows a bit more than me. He's on assignment in freedom city if you +wish to speak with him. -Dunno about that. Devices are my specialty. @Later, dude. :4 #Mayor Eastwood !Go ahead punk, make my day! Er.. uh.. My Father used to say that. Name's !Eastwood. Mayor Eastwood. What do you want? *NAME +The name is Eastwood. Mayor Eastwood. Now don't ask again, punk. *JOB +I'm the mayor of Freedom City. *PYLON +The pylon is just south of here. Kind of a half-way between us and the +horticulture station. Nobody in here has been able to figure out what the +pylon is for.... *FREEDOM CITY +We established the city a few years ago to provide a defense against the +scum out there. *SCUM +It's those death warriors who cause most of the trouble. Always tryin' to +rob anyone who wanders around unprotected. They're a real menace. Come up +from their headquarters to the south. *HORT +The horticulture center is our pride and joy. It has a protective dome that +keeps the harmful radiation away from our crops. The center is just a +little southwest of the city. We sell various food products at a decent +price. -Now look punk! I ought to... Uh.. Sorry... Can't help you there. @Alright. But stay out of trouble. We're a peaceful establishment. :5 #Joe Farmer !Hey dude. How's it going. Name's Joe Farmer. I got the name 'cuz I used to !work at the horticulture center. *Name +Joe Farmer. At your service. *Job +I cultivated some of the crops down at the horticulture center. Was a pretty +easy job. I came here to freedom city to become an adventurer! *Hort +The horticulture center? It's a pretty neat place. They grow lots of crops +there. Also raise some cattle - their stakes are the best meals in the whole +wasteland. The protective dome over the center keeps the radiation out. +Thats how they grow the crops. *Adven +Yeah, I want to be an adventurer. -I'm just a farmer. I don't know about such things... @See you later. :6 #Whiz !How's it going? They call me Whiz. I'm a computer technician. I'm currently !doing a job for Troy Hadley. *NAME +Whiz. I work on computers. That's my job. *JOB +Troy Hadley sent me out here to look for some special "hacked" laptop +software we heard about. Once I get the information together, I'll be +heading back to Sacre Base. *SOFTWARE +There are several rumors we have heard about these hacked computer programs. +We don't know who wrote em, but we're pretty interested. One of them is +called the "EMWARP" program. *EMWARP +It stands for emergency warp. I'm not supposed to tell people too much +about this, but Defs Sacre brought a device called a "Warper" into Troy +one morning. We looked into it. The technology was far out - real far out. +The device could "teleport" a person to a different location! Anyways, +getting to the point. The "EMWARP" program will interface the laptop with +this device. When a person is about to die, the program will evaluate it, +and activate the warper. I wish I could find one of these roms. *FIND +They are rumored to be located on some very dangerous monsters around +here. You might be able to find the warper device on them as well as the +emwarp program. It would come in very handy to a person such as you. Good +luck. *TROY HADLEY +He's a real cool guy. Invented half of our devices himself. A good +programmer too. Once I get this some info on these software hacks, I'll +give the info to him. Maybe he can do something with it. -Don't know about that.... @Good luck, friend. Be careful out there. :7 #Trader Rick !Hello. I'm Trader Rick. What do you want? *Name +Trader Rick. I already told you. *JOB +I used to be a trader. I was captured by some warriors and brought into +Freedom City where I was rehabilitated. *REHAB +They tought me how evil my ways were. *TRADER +Yes, I am ashamed that I was one of the evil traders. The people here at +Sacre Base have rehabilitated me. I now try to help adventurers by giving +them information. *INFORM +I'm sure most of the stuff you already know. Wait... I have something here +that might help you. Some of my fellow traders knew of the location of +the entrance to the Deadwood Forest; Where the Black Widow camp is located. +I never knew the location, but some of the others may have. A word of +caution though - the Black Widows are tough. You better be damn strong +before you venture near their camp. -I'm sorry, but I cannot help you. @Go in peace, my friend. :8 #Mean Max !And just what the hell do you want? Can't you see I'm busy? *Name +They call me Mean Max. For obvious reasons. *Job +What's it to you? Oh anyhow, I'm an adventurer. I have been all around the +world. Pulled quite a few missions in my time.... Is there a point to this? +Do you want something? *Mission +Like the time I drove a fuel truck through hostile country. Now, that was +a real mess. And the fools filled the damn thing up with sand! Damn near +got killed defending a truckload of sand! *Busy +Yes, B U S Y. I don't have time to talk to people such as yourself. I got +my Job to tend to. *Adventurer +Are you going to bother me all day? I'm an adventurer. Can you say +adventurer? Ad-ven-tur-er. Now if you don't mind, I do have more +important things to tend to. *Important +Like putting a hole between your eyes if you don't stop bugging me. Why +don't you go bother Jeffrey? Or defs sacre? They just bum around the +base all day. But me, I actually get some work done. *WORK +I kill things. Monsters, wasteland gangs, bad guys, OBNOXIOUS +ADVENTURERS, whatever. Now, please leave me alone. *ALONE +I said, "LEAVE ME ALONE". [He unsheaths a Neutron Blaster and points +it in your direction] *NEUTRON +Yeah, a Neutron Blaster. Never seen one of these before? Well, your about +to get a demonstration of what one will do if you don't get outa my face! *DEMON +[Blam! You are momentary blinded. When you regain your senses, you notice +you have obtained quite a suntan across your face!] That was aimed 25 +degrees left of your face. [You notice a large smoking hole in the wall +in line with that trajectory] Unless you want to see what one feels like +head on, you better get out of my space. *SPACE +That did it! [He draws again! As timely as always, Defs Sacre appears and +calms down Mean Max explaining to him that adventurers these days are +quite curious and he should be a bit more kindly and spread his knowledge] *FUEL +Yeah, Fuel. You know, gasoline? Look, are you stupid or something? Why +don't you go out and find out about these things yourself. *GASOLINE +With the recovery of atomic power technology, the need for fuel has died +off heavily, but it is still an important commodity. The base will pay a +hefty fee for any fuel that you can recover. Now if you don't mind, I am +very busy. *WORLD +At least whats left of it. Far as I can tell, the nukes hit just about +everywhere. I've had contact with other continents and they're in the +same mess we're in. Rads in the atmosphere gonna destroy us all if we +don't get that puritron online. *PURITRON +Yeah, the Puritron. Last I knew, there was a standing order that all base +adventurers were ORDERED to go out and find it. Now, it looks to me like +that is a hell of a lot more vital than standing here pestering me. -And just what do you mean by that? Get out of my face, punk. @'Bout time you got out of my way. I got work to attend to. :9 #Captain Targon !Hello there soldier, my name's Captain Targon. What can I do for you !this fine day? *Name +Captain Targon. I'm one of the officers here at the base. *Job +I do the things that a captain does. Manage troops, coordinate attacks, +waste bad guys, etc. A really nice job altogether. Lately I've been busy +trying to figure out what happened to Sergeant Trell though. *FINE +Well, perhaps it's not all that fine of a day. Life's been pretty depressing +since we lost that Puritron device. My entire job lately seems to be +working on that project. *PURITRON +It would have really changed things here in the wasteland. With the +radioactive contaminants cleared out of the atmosphere, life would be almost +bearable in the wastelands. The mutations would cease and we might be able +to bring the entire zone back into civilized control. *MUTATIONS +Terrible, terrible thing to happen to a person. Some unknown effect of the +radiation according to Hadley. Has effects on people like you wouldn't +believe. You either physically mutate, or you go mentally insane, or a +combination of both. *INSANE +It's sad. Many of our soldiers have gone quite insane out in the wastelands. +Once powerful forces of good, they are now our enemies just like everything +else out there. Perhaps once we got the puritron back, there might be +something we can do for them. *PHYSICAL +I don't understand it myself. Something to do with DNA mutation. Causes +you to be transformed into a whole new creature sometimes. Seen any of the +humaniod mutants out there? Or the Ant-Men? Or the giant rats? All effects +of mutation. *OFFICER +There's several of us. Defs Sacre actually still holds officer rank even +though all he does any more is serve drinks here in the tavern. We were +going to make Sergeant Trell an officer once he came back from his mission, +but alas, no sign of him. *CIVILIZED +I am sure that the entities of the wasteland would join up to form a +civilized government if we could just bring some order to things.... *TRELL +We're getting quite worried about him. I sent him off about three weeks +ago to investigate some reports of an unusual site out in zone three, +but his reports stopped right as he reached the site. *SITE +We had a report from an explorer that there is some kind of military +building out there. Trell reached the site, and radioed in, but his +communications were cut off before we could get an accurate report. *REPORT +All he said was that "All would be lost if they are not stopped in +time". We don't know who "they" are or what they are planning on doing, +but from Trell's tone of voice, it must have been something pretty +urgent. -Sorry, maybe you should try talking to Defs Sacre or Troy Hadley. They're -both quite knowledgable. @Nice talking to you, soldier - be careful out there. :100 #Valley Girl !Like what do you like want? I'm gonna like kill you like right now. Like !understand? *KILL +Like gimme a K! Like gimme an I! Like gimme an L! Like gimme another L! +I'm gonna like KILL you! *JOB +I'm like a mutant like valley girl. I used to be like a cheerleader like +before the like boom hit. *NAME +I don't like know what my name is. *SEX +[Game designer intervening here: You are talking about having sex with a +mutant valley girl. Do you have any idea where this girl has been? If LOD +had support for diseases, you'd be contracting several of them right now!] *BOOM +Yeah, there was like a big boom. *CHEERLEADER +Yeah, I was like a cheerleader. Like now like the only thing I like chear +about is like killing innocent like adventurers! -Oh, like totally radical! @Ok. I gotta like kill you now. :101 #Trader !So you want to talk. Well. I have a few moments I suppose. I'm still !going to waste you though. What do you want to know about? *JOB +I go around, waste people, take their stuff, and sell it. Very nice +living. Sacre Base keeps on sending out adventurers like you. Got +nice weapons, nice armor, etc. Adds to my collection real well. *NAME +Let's just say I'm a trader. You don't need to know anything more. *TRADE +Yep, a trader. That's my job. *DEADWOOD +You want to know the location of the forest, don't you. And just why +should I help you? I'm going to kill you anyhow. *KILL +You're dead as soon as this conversation is over. So what does it really +matter if you know the location? *LOCATION +Oh very well. You are going to die in five minutes anyhow. The entrance +is at 58, 112. It's a windy mountain trail. Now, can we get on with this? +I really am looking forward to killing you... %2 *FOREST +What forest? The DeadWood Forest? *WIDOW +The Black widows. They're located in the Deadwood forest. *RICK +Trader Rick? If I ever find him, I'll kill him. He betrayed us. The jerk +now lives in Freedom city. If he ever steps out into the wasteland though, +he is dead! -Who cares... @Ok. After that conversation, I kinda hate to have to waste you, but @oh well. It's a living. :102 #Death Warrior !Well... Well... Well... Another Sacre Base warrior. You want to talk? Ok. !lets talk. *NAME +My name isn't important. I'm a death warrior. That's all that is important. *JOB +I kill people, raid villages, burn towns, etc. It's really quite fun. You +should try it. Being an adventurer is pretty boring. -Of course I know that, but I'm not going to tell you. @Prepare to die, adventurer scum! :103 #Bart !Hi. My names Bart Simpon! Who the hell are you? *NAME +Bart Simpson, man. *JOB +They say I'm a juvinile delinquent. All becuase I beat up some adventurer +last week. Real bummer, man. Dude's name was Jeffrey. *JEFFREY +He's a real wimp, man. He came out into the wasteland. Claimed he was going +to go hunt terminators. Real wimp, man. I almost wasted him. *TERM +Terminators man? They're a real bummer. Worse than Homer. *WIMP +He had no weapons or anything. I smacked him once in the head with my +slingshot, and then nailed him once or twice with my dagger. *HOMER +Homer? Homer? HOMER! It's all his fault. He blew up springfield nuclear +plant!!!! It's all his fault. He caused this. He blew up the power +plant! [This dude is on a real detour from reality....] *LISA +Lisa? My sister Lisa? She grew up an became a mutant valley girl, man. *MARGE +Marge? She's toast man. Was with Homer when the plant blew. -Who cares... @Ok, man. Enough talk. :104 #Cabal Warrior !^Blaafff Golurf Walg Torg! ![Universal Translator Engaged] !Well, human, it apprears you somehow understand our language. Xeboc will !be very interested to here about this... *NAME +^Quilak gorum bak quil? +My name is not important, human scum. *JOB +^Quilak gorum bak quil? +A am a mere soldier in Xeboc's great battle to overcome the measly human +resitance here on earth. *XEBOC +^Quilak gorum bak quil? +Xeboc is our leader. He is all-powerful and will soon finish conquering +your worthless planet. *POWERFUL +^Quilak gorum bak quil? +So you don't think Xeboc is that powerful? Well, why don't you see him +yourself? He is located in the lower right hand section of this +topographical area. I believe you refer to the area as "zone 6". %8 -^Quilak gorum bak quil? -!Do not waste my time, human scum! @^Gurtuk blaraf trissok solak blaaf! @Prepare to die, human scum! :105 #Spider Droid !^Beep Beep Bop Buzz Beep! ![Universal Translator Engaged] !Spider droid system operational.

Loki is Chaos. Loki is ALL. ![He floats in a graceful circle around you] *NAME +My name is unimportant in the Chaos that is all...that is Loki. +[He soars upwards to yell this to the heavens] *JOB +Jobs are part of Order. All Order has been overcome. Do not delude +yourself by still clinging to a fallen concept. Embrace Loki. +[He stops flying for a moment and hovers in the air] *CHAOS +Chaos is all. Once Order attempted to impose its will on reality. +Chaos proved the stronger and the world of Order collapsed into the +blessed wasteland that surrounds us. +[He spins gracefully in the air with arms pointed outward] *LOKI +Loki is Chaos. Loki gave us this blessed land when he overthrew the +false rule of Order. And to his faithful he gives the ability to +become one with the Chaos and move through it. You would see it as +the ability to fly. We know better. We see things clearer. +[He opens his eyes wide and you notice the glint of steel within] *WE +The Priests of Loki. The Clergy of Chaos. Call us what you will. +We found Loki in a city that flies. Such a chaotic site would of +course be his domain. We were confused at the divine manifestation +of his power. He showed us the Way. He gave us the Symbols. +[He beats his chest and comes to rest on the ground] *SYMBOLS +False religions wave around symbols to show they are dominated by +Order. The Symbols of Loki are placed WITHIN the faithful, where +only those sensitive to Chaos may know of them. They make us +closer to Loki, so we may better receive his message. +[For a moment he cocks his head as if to hear something] +[You notice some wires protruding from behind his ear] *WAY +Serve Loki. All who do not serve Loki seek the return of Order and +a repeat of the destruction its usurpation required. The Widows, the +Draku, the Cabal...all serve Order and must be destroyed. Your kind +often serve Order as well. Those that don't MAY become followers of +Loki. All others must be slain, their tools taken. +[He swoops past you, almost snatching your backpack away] *TOOLS +We are all tools for Loki, but we need tools of our own. Blasphemers +often carry tools that work well for such purposes: Widow equipment +for instance. But we will not limit ourselves to just that...such +would be a limit, which is the meat and drink of Order. Chaos knows +no limits. [An insane look enters his eyes as he fondles his weapon] *FLY +The truest servants of Chaos become one with its flow. By following +the flow we can soar through the air and defy the rules of Order +that say we can't. We CAN fly, specifically because we CAN'T fly. +[He performs a cartwheel in the air as if to drive home his point] -Your words show you to be corrupted by Order. Repent: Embrace Chaos. @May the Order you foolishly worship bring your death. :200 #TADSU !You are connected to a TADSU: Technologically Advanced Data Storage Unit. I !am at your service. *NAME +I am a TADSU; A Technologically Advanced Data Storage Unit.

Pylon +destination control is based on a panel of four buttons. Pressing the proper +three button sequence will invoke pylon teleporter to the respective +destination. + +Specific pylon destination codes are not available. *BBS +The only data I have on "BBS" (Re: Computer Bulletin Board System) is from +the pre-war period of the late 20th century: + +The Not-Yet-Named BBS + + Node #1: 602-577-3650 (V.32) + Node #2: 602-577-3419 (DUAL) + +Home of: Galactic Warzone, SZModem, Land Of Devastation, CDRDoor, + GTERM, Doordriver. + +What this information means is not known. *XEBOC +TADSU Intergalactic Police Database + +Name: Xeboc +Occupation: Emperor, Cabal Empire +Race: Cabal +Origin: Dimension Y +Location: Unknown +Plans: Unknown + +Notes: 1) Xeboc is leader of Cabal Empire.

Xeboc the All-Powerful! What is !it you wish to speak of, mortal. *job +I am Xebec the Almighty, Xebec the all-powerful! *name +I am Xebec the Almighty, Xebec the all-powerful! *mortal +Yes, mortal, your life spans are but a few seconds compared to a being +such as myself. My power is great, and you humans stand no chance against +me. *myself +I am supreme leader of the Cabal Empire. The most powerful army in the +universe! *Power +I have more power than you could ever conceive of, mortal. Do you realize +who I am? I am Xeboc the Almighty! Xeboc the All-Powerful! Xeboc the +destroyer. *Destroyer +Foolish mortal, you do not even realize the true circumstances behind your +nuclear war! Your superpowers did not start the war. They were attempting +to abolish their nuclear weapons. That did not suit my purposes. With +only a small percentage of my power, I was able to launch their missiles. *Purpose +My purpose is to conquer! To conquer the Earth! To conquer the universe! +My fleet stand waiting to invade this solar system upon my command. With +your armies and governments destroyed, you do not stand a chance to defend +yourselves. *Fleet +I command a fleet 25,000 warships strong! My cabal warriors will sweep +through this system and destroy all lifeforms! The Earth will be mine! +Everything will be mine! *Defend +That was why it was necessary to start your "war". You were progressing +too fast, soon you would have discovered subatomic drive and developed a +space fleet of your own. That simply would not do. I had to halt your +progress. *Halt +You'd be surprised how well a few tactical nukes can halt a world's +progress! It is surprising that all of you worms were not destroyed. *Cabal +We, the cabal, are superior to you humans. We will annihilate you! -Do not waste my time, mortal. @Prepare to die, mortal. :202 #James T. Kirk !Riker! It's you Riker! You're not getting my phasers! Picard can't have !them! [This guy seems real unstable] *UNSTABLE +Unstable! You think I'm unstable Riker! What do you think it's like? 25 +years at starfleet and look whats happens. They replace me with you and +that cowardly Picard. *PICARD +The coward! Why do they give him a better ship! He gets a better enterprise, +better weapons, more crew members, better looking women, better everything! *PHASER +They're my phasers! All mine! You can't have them! I'm going to destroy +starfleet with them! Starfleet will be destroyed! *DESTROY +I came back in time to give these phasers to Xeboc! He can use them +to conquer the earth! If the earth is conquered, then starfleet will never +be created! HAHAHAHAHA! I win! No starfleet! No Picard! *RIKER +I knew you'd be back! I knew picard would send someone to hunt me down. I'll +kill you Riker! -You just want my phasers, but you're not going to get them! They're my -phasers! All mine! @You wanted my phasers! We'll, take a look into the business end of one! :203 #Tranlius !(buzz) (pop) (crackle) Tranlius control module (zzzzzztttt) responding to !user access. *ACCESS +Access.....

Name's Ed! (He sets down a MicroNuke that he was !working on)... I run this here shop. *NAME +They call me Ed. That's all you need to know. We don't use last names in this +business. *JOB +I run this here weapons shop. *SHOP +Yep, that's right. We're the best darn weapons shop this side of the +wasteland. We've got Vortex Cells, Pulse Bazookas, whatever you want. +Just ask and I'll be happy to tell you a about our nice little business +here. *VORTEX +The vortex cell? Well, it's a nice peice of work. Something we've been +importing from some weapons makers a little deeper in the zone. Ya see, +most warriors complain about one thing: having to carry all that damn ammo +around. You need Grav Packs for Gravblasters, Neutron Packs for Neutron +Sabres, etc. Well, the vortex cell solves all that. For more information, +please see the little brochures that I have made. *PULSE +The pulse weapons (pulse bazooka, pulse rifle, etc) are pretty advanced. For +example, we field tested the Xenon's surprise the other day out in zone two. +Wasted terminators in one shot. Truely effective. For more information, +please see the little brochures that I have made. *BROCHURE +They're sitting in the weapons store. Just hit "Show Item" and you'll see +the information I wrote up. *BUSINESS +You want to know about the business? Well, we're basically a retail outlet +for about a dozen of your various high tech weapon manufacturers. Plus, we +do some mods ourselves. *MODS +Like the vitron cells for example. We've taken the top technology and +enhanced these units to perform as best as possible. It's simply the best +ammunition that money can buy. See my brochures for more information. *RETAIL +We sell a lot to various soldiers and mercinaries and such. We pride +ourselves on only selling to the "good guys" so you won't be seeing any +of our weapons on any monsters out there, unless, of course, they obtained +them from an unfortunate adventurer. *MICRONUKE +These damn things... It's our whole line of mines.... They all got this +annoying glitch in them. Has to do with fortresses. I'm going to have a talk +with our suppliers about this. Then we've also got trouble with people +not knowing how to use the mines.... *FORT +Alright, I suppose I might as well tell you a little information. Could save +you some money in the future. It's the triggers on all of our mines. They +won't detect if a guy walks out of a fortress. One of my major customers +bought two Day Ruiners, dropped 'em on someones base, then his enemy +teleported to the fortress, stepped outside and picked the damn things up. +Out a million five worth of mines. Boys def.... er.. uh.. my client was +upset. Only happens with fortresses though. *HAPPEN +Yeah, as long as the person isn't walking out of a fortress, they're +history. For example, if My Client (we'll call him "X")... If "X"'s enemy +was to walk onto to mine from an adjacent terrain cell, he would have been +wasted. But, he teleported into that fortress and then left the fortress. I +think it's some kind of built in safety - or something. Anyways, I suppose +you could always surround a guy's base with mines. Then, the minute he +walked off, KABOOM! *SURROUND +Yeah, just place the mines N/S/E/W of the base and you've got the poor +b**tard. Or if you got one o' them types who thinks he's so damn smart +about putting his base with mountains on three of the four sides, then +all you have to do is mine the one exit... and KABOOM! *SUPPLIERS +Uh suppliers? Oh, I didn't mean suppliers. All of our stuff is directly +issued by Sacre Base. We don't deal in _any_ black market devices... The +mines well uh... they're a special test marketing attempt by Troy Hadley. +Yeah, Troy Hadley sent em.... That's where they came from. Those guys who +accuse us of buying weapons from the Draku's are LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! I +want to nuke every last one of them! They'll all die! [Ed is becoming +very upset...] *TROUBLE +Several of our more elite "customers" have complained that the mines don't +work properly. They say their enemies just walk over and pick them up! I +keep tryin' to tell 'em - You have to U)se the mine in order to arm it +first! The damn thing aint gonna arm all by itself when you drop it! -Sorry partner, I can't help you there.... @Well, good luck to ya' all.
