Does that mean you're still enjoying it?

Sign of Qalyn

14:30 / 23.09.05

I am still enjoying it, but that's not what it means. I was just listening to Ween's "all request live" album, "live on the infanet" as they call it, which has five songs about stallions. I know that Fite! is a mare, but still. Uncanny.

Apologies for the delay: on the one hand, work is a bit of a bastard at the moment. On the other hand, it doesn't help when people keep posing commands after several have already been posted, thus making what I have to write that much longer...

Perhaps put a three command cap in place?

Perhaps ignore subsequent commands or, you know, pick the one you like best? Surely teh computer is in charge?

As you may have seen, this is back in effect. I'm going to attempt to provide some answers and a resolution, with your help, before the end of the year. You might want to head towards the Science Personnel only area, though.

(Off-topic, but I was shocked to read this until I remembered it was a reference to dear old Bruno and his views on r&b...)

if you had made a defective assassin clone and wanted to get rid of it, why on earth would you erase hir memory and dump hir in a clearing on an island full of clues that would lead hir back to your base?

especially if, as she says, you've already done so multiple times?

why aren't we expendable? these people appear to have no problem killing anyone else, and we're just a clone.

also her last speech seems to indicate that we will become expendable once we've been reprogrammed again. why would that be?

doesn't make any sense to me. currently my suspicion is that dad wants us to come back here and figure things out. and, I suppose, since we're an assassin, we were supposed to kill one of the kids. maybe?

Well, memo 47 certainly cleared that up a little.

Still, I'm struggling to form any kind of plan of action at this point.

Maybe we should head to where the action is and try to help out Highgraves and Maria...or whatever their names are? Assuming they're not already dead by now, or that anyone cares.

Pants, I could be wrong but I think we may not actually be Twenty-Three.

as in, we're the real Highgraves (with a memory wipe) and the guy who's running around with Maya is the real 23 (with false memories)? could well be.

or, given that last memo about memory erasures and facial recognition, we could be, well, anyone. and so could everyone else.

I'm inclined to just point some bullets at the ones who seem naughtier, but then I often get tired of trying to unravel mysteries about halfway through and just sort of passively wait for the hero to explain everything at the end.

A friendly reminder to limit instructions to 2-3 at a time, and post any discussion of the situation in this thread.

I just looked up helicopters on Wikipedia and it turns out there's THREE levers, not two. Damn.

Don't worry, I'm sure we know how to fly a helicopter.

Wouldn't we have to fly upside down to behead the zombie with the rotors? If so, good.

I really don't want to end up bailing out into the drink. If we have no anti-missile/agent devices on the chopper I reckon we should try and evade the damn thing. If it's a heat-seeker then we're fracked and we can always leap out heroically at the last second and drown trying to pull shrapnel out of our back as the sharks close in.

I apologise if it seems I am steering the protagonist's movements too much - do let me know!

thanks for spending so much time working on what seemed likely to be a very frustrating project.
