Most of them were killed by the pop-up turrets I had installed in their kitchens last weekend.

Speaking of which, don't you think it'd be a good idea to go get yourself a drink right about now? >D

And here I thought the ninja leprechauns I hired would take care of them.

So that's why my kitchen is covered in scrap metal, bullet casings, and invisible, green blood.

Being lasered is bad for your health kiddos.

Got my mojo back. Working on a post now.

@Bonjour xx And here I thought the ninja leprechauns I hired would take care of them.

The ninja squirrels I sent on the mission took the leprechauns out. :P

If it's invisible, how do you know it's green? Or there? Hmmmmmmm?

You can smell it. Leprechaun blood smells like skittles.

BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S GREEN?! I think it's light blue personally.

But is what you perceive as light blue the same thing that @Kalas perceives as green?

I think the more important question is what colour does a smurf go when we choke it?

@Bonjour xx what colour does a smurf go when we choke it?

The most common answer is 'Purple' - [LINK], but really it depends on what's causing it to choke. I mean, did it try swallowing something too big to fit down its throat, is it sticking its head underwater for too long, or was it practicing autoerotica ashphyxiation with Smurfette again?

@Bonjour xx Hope I captured Marga in that post lol

I like the alien swear words part :) if it wasn't for the pain, she'd have probably told you not to get any ideas when applying that gel ;)

Oh the rest of the party better hurry up and disable that other turret otherwise Simon's Swiss cheese.

The Countdown theme tune and Swiss cheese survived? Please tell me chocolate did as well!

The power source for Hundred's Dust has a maximum energy output of roughly 3.7 terajoules. This will be important later.

Mars was terraformed in the early 23rd century exclusively to produce enough chocolate to cope with the expanding female population on Earth.

Not 1.21 gigawatts?

Was waiting for Kalas to get a chance to post before I did so Mez could get in on the lasery goodness, but I'm getting antsy to resolve our various combat firefights, so if Mez doesn't deal with the turret by this evening, Hundred shall.

I'd like to get to a place where the crew can plan and regroup without having to deal with an immediate crisis so we can get some character interaction and development in. More imporantly, so they can plan how to stumble into their next imminent crisis.

That wouldn't be enough power for Hundred's needs...not nearly enough.

Dun dun dun.

@Tenish the Mighty I'd like to get to a place where the crew can plan and regroup without having to deal with an immediate crisis so we can get some character interaction and development in. More imporantly, so they can plan how to stumble into their next imminent crisis.

The control room's pretty much the safest place nearby at the moment, the party should be able to hunker down there for repair and recovery before heading deeper into the ship.

Now I'm really curious what happens to her when she gets upto 88mph. :P

Where'd all the posting go. D:

I am nothing if not a bounty to my people.

While attempting to write the semi-informed jargon of my post, I tried to contrive some type of metaphor of the like to explain how Hundred 'hacks' perhaps in comparison to her fellow keyboard cowboys and an amusing thought occurred to me.

I think that Hundred and Marga and perhaps Sevyn all operate in the digital as they do in the analog. If you will permit my analogy, say Hundred and Marga are trying to access a particular file on a system, or, in the real world, trying to access a file in a manila envelope in a locked room on the seventh floor of an office building.

Marga, I think, would access that file with similar tactics. She would insinuate herself into the system or building, perhaps seducing a guard, stealing keys and passwords, picking locks, to glide her way quickly and quietly to her end goal. All catsuits and dancing over laser alarms and such.

If Hundred were trying to accomplish the same time, she would do so as the techie that she is. She wouldn't bother to infiltrate the building. She would probably do something like bring a pneumatic grappling cannon to repel up the side of the building and an impact drill to bore a hole directly into the room she wanted to be in. Or, if she is particularly unconcerned with subtlety, just accomplish both goals of height and force by driving a construction excavator up to the building and just scooping out the room with the folder in it and driving away.

The point is, whereas Marga would be discrete, causing as few alarms to be raised as possible, so no one would even know she was there, Hundred would probably level the entire building if it seemed more expedient. Marga subverts system code, Hundred deconstructs it and builds her own.

I don't have quite as good of an analogy for Sevyn since her meatspace skillset doesn't translate to programming behavior as directly. Maybe she's just a particularly speedy programmer? Like she might just drive a motorcycle through the buildings front door and zoom on up to the seventh floor before anyone can wrap their heads around what just happened and then popping a wheely off the roof and onto the parking garage across the way.

I don't know. It is not, perhaps, a perfect analogy.
