Sorry, folks. RL has killed me lately, and I've just been sucking in the post department. I finally managed to get one up, and we've woofed ahead. Sorry that you're dropping, Tann, but I understand. I will NPC Kane for now.

My post included Blake's findings in the network. There is really nothing so far to indicate as to what happened. As noted, there are no project-specific files to be found on the servers, or on any resources connected to them.

All but the most minor cold damage has been healed, due to your time indoors.

CPL Hatherford: MIA. Status unknown.
CPL Hart: MIA. Status unknown.

LT Kernan: pretty much unscathed.
WO Blake: minimal combat damage.
SGT Lee: moderate to seriously wounded from combat damage.
PFC Pearson: moderate to seriously wounded from combat damage.
SSG Kane: all but unscathed.
CPL Johannsen: moderate to seriously wounded from combat damage.

Lee, Pearson, and Johannsen can move and fight, but are a bit stiff and slow due to their ijuries. Lee especially may tire quicker than usual if asked to do anything too strenuous. Where's a cleric when you need one?

...won't be for long. Eol will be stepping into the role of SSGT Kane.

Sorry to hear you are stepping back, Tann, but if anyone can understand RL time constraints, it's me. That said, I'm out Sunday night for another trip, so I'll try to post tomorrow night.

So no sign of the machine labelled agiles? How about the network jack it was last connected to?

Also, whatever's controlling the place now...no trace of it in the systems? What the heckers was keeping Blake out?

Thanks everyone I appreciate the understanding, but when real life and the future call sometimes ya gotta listen. But in Eol I think you’ll have a much better SSGT Kane then I was, go get’m Eol kick some alien/creature/monster/supernatural/ whatever the hell Olan’s villain is, ass!!.

I will of course be lurking as I do still want to know the ‘Truth’ .

Maybe "You can't handle The Truth!"

Sorry, couldn't resist.

**Vanadia rolls very well**

The "agiles" machine always connects to the same network port, which is traceable back to room 30 on your map.

What was keeping you out? state of the art network security is all. Just smart, sophisticated hacker prevention tools. Nothing else.

I'm flattered that you think so, Tann but, hey, I thought you made a perfectly fine SSgt... My big problem is going to be keeping Kane acting like a Ranger and not a Jarhead.

Anyhoo... I think I've 'caught up' and have a handle on our current situation... gonna hang back and let one or two others post before I jump in with both booted feet, though. El-Tee said take a fiver and that's what Kane's doin' as of now... chillin' with the SAW and hopin' nothin' flinches.

Glad this adventure got 'woofed' a little.. was tired of my guy just lazing around... hmm.. now what to do... I will try and post to this tonight.

Welcome Eol!

My apologies for the extreme delay troops! Been busy, distracted, and, yes, even a little absent minded lately... finally dragged out my 'motivation' and am banging away at a post even now... Have one up for Kane by this evening.

Trying to get back into the groove of posting.

Check the game thread, post coming right away.

Can I kill sumthin', sir? Can I? Huh? Pleeeeease? Huh?

*ka-blink*

What am I doing??? Asking the GM to throw baddies at us? I've definitely got to up my meds...

Ummm... please disregard the whole begging for baddies, bit...err... this has been a test of the Eolmergency Broadcast System... if this had been an actual Eolmergency a character would have died or something else fairly unbecoming... we now return you to your regulary scheduled Eol, already in progress.

Who was Kane's beneficiery on that life insurance policy again?

I lost that version of my character notes...

Me an' my biiiiig mouth!

That would be his Mom.

Dear Mama Kane:

The United States Government regrets to inform you that your boy is deader'n a doornail. He's been crushed, dismembered, probed by aliens, incinerated, and frozen... not necessarily in that order.

He will receive a burial at sea... when the polar ice caps melt and his body (or what remains of it) sinks into the ocean.

Hopefully, this money will soothe your pain. Prepare to be taxed, of course.



Sinerely,
Uncle Sam
