Great googliebooglie! A 5 minute turn-around! That absolutely rocks!

Black Sunrise · November 2, 2001, 01:45

Yeah, I spend most of my day at home with my kids, working on the website, shipping orders and pressing F5 to see if I got email or moves.

All my games are going really slowly this week, driving me nuts.

Sir. We are pleased to announce the birth of 10,000 new baby girls.
They have all been named after you.

Excellent. Please supply the appropriate fathers with cigars.

Sir. None of the new mothers has listed a father. Interestingly, apparently all the girls are from the same base. The one you visited last year.

Your point, colonel?

Sir. You must be exceptional good luck!

Hmmm. Point taken. Perhaps I should tour all the bases this year.

*Expeditionary fleet “Bushido”, on a mission near base Kaga*

“Captain, our sensors have detected a large metal object nearby. I believe it could be a Unity pod.”

“Very well. Operator, order the fleet to close in on that position.”

An hour later...

“Er... Captain?”

“Go ahead, Lieutenant.”

“I’m picking up an alien lifeform on the sensors. One of those ‘Isles of the Deep’ Yamato fleet discovered last year. It dived up right besides the pod and... it is swallowing it!!”

“What!?! We must prevent that. Tac Officer, shoot that little monster into pieces.”

“We’re out of range sir. And the Isle of the Deep seems to be heading towards that large patch of fungus. It would be foolishness to follow it in there; our sensors can’t yet penetrate through the native plantgrowth.”

“Indeed sir. I just lost it. It could be hiding anywhere in the fungus by now.”

“And attack us while we’re unguarded. Operator, tell everyone to move southwards. Let’s hope we’re not diving in the arms of that Isle.”

“And let’s also hope the Isle doesn’t float down to Kaga base.”, captain Honshu added in his thoughts.

*Military control tower, base Kaga*

Why does nothing ever happen here?, private Shikoku sighed. In all the years he was in military duty, the most exciting thing ever happened was the sergeant spilling his cup of coffee over his sensor machinery. He frequently wished he was serving on some expeditionary ship. Now these guys saw some real action! Here it was all days the same old same old routine. But that was about to change.

“Hey sergeant, I’m picking up increased electromagnetic activity. What the heck can this mean?”

“Don’t know sonny. I’ll check the manual. You just hold on.”

“Better be quick sir. The activity is increasing. It’s even disturbing my instruments.”

“Yeah yeah. Here! I’ve got it. Page 643. Electromagnetic disturbance.”
Sergeant Hokkaido was running his finger along the page.
“It says here this could be an indication oooooooof... oh ****... Mind Worm attack!!”

“Er... may I suggest we warn the garrison, sergeant?”

“No can do, boy. Our ‘most honoured’ admiral Yamamoto thought it would be better to first produce a transport. We’re just in the process of assembling some troops for a defensive garrison. That son of a ***** with his risky policies! We’re just sitting ducks. We’re all gonna die!!!

“Love ye, serge.”

Our condolences, and hopes for luck.

Black Sunrise · November 5, 2001, 03:53

Nothing exciting, except that the captain is so very very drunk that it is an incredibly good thing that it was a boring year.

Oh, and Gun ship 002 fully repaired and sent out.

Maniac · November 6, 2001, 16:51

*Kaga Base, Military Control Tower*

Shikoku and Hokkaido were embracing each other tightly, eyes closed and cheeks against each other. A sergeant-major walked in.

"Soldiers, what are you doing??", he asked in fury.

"A.. a.. an isle of the deep is about to attack us sir. We're all gonna die!"

"You mean that hatchling swarm that suddenly attacked us an hour ago? Oh come on, we dealt with that very quickly. It only managed to damage some of the transports of Ainu Fleet which happened to lay in port at that time. But they'll be back up and running in some months."
"Oh yes, the reason I came here! Private Shikoku, I want to congratulate you personally with your promotion to corporal. You've been assigned on one of the Ainu transports as an operator. Good luck!"

"Thank you sir.", Shikoku said, saluting.

Waiting on production.

Deimos · November 7, 2001, 20:28

Director: Uh oh! The Captian is waiting for the production!

Lights! Cue the music!
Dancing girls! Entrance stage right!

And act.....er, what was that?

Not this kind of a production? OOOOhhhhh, base production. Ok, got it.

Say that again?

He still wants the dancing girls? Ok, let him know that they are on their way to him.

Maniac · November 8, 2001, 14:48

MY 2111 to Black Sunrise

Deimos · November 11, 2001, 20:39

...By Odin's beard! What just happened?

Jarl, we're not sure, but the sensors indicate that we have experienced some sort of alteration in the space-time continium.

So, that means we've slipped into the future?

Or the past, Jarl. We cannot tell yet.

Then we will wait. And watch.

MY 2111, the Reprise, to Black Sunrise

Sorry about the second reload message. I didn't get the offending bugger the first time round. Oh, btw, who gets the bill for the pest control service?

Googlie · November 11, 2001, 21:23

LOL - that's exactly what big_canuck said when I told him how close he was to becoming a pirate - "I hope M@ni@c slips Deimos some credits for diverting his exploratory mission"

Maniac · November 12, 2001, 15:19

Turn shipped to Qantaga

So it was an Isle of the Deep after all?? Why didn’t I get a message of an attack then? Anyway, I owe you guys a lot. Deimos, the crew of your exploration ship is invited to take a drink in our local bar and repair themselves in the meanwhile. You’ll need a pact for that though.

Anyway, if you need something when you’re in need, you know my frequency.

------------------

Admiral Yamamoto woke up with a terrible headache, like having drunk several bottles of wine, beer and saki. Oh wait, he had actually done that!

Apparently, during a basewide party celebrating the survival of Kaga, the entire population of Pack Command reached an extreme state of enlightment all at the same time, and base and all was transcended to Nirvana. Yamamoto though thought it was a bit too serene there to his liking, so after some wheeling and dealing with big chief Buddha, they were allowed to return to the material world. All’s good that ends good!

M@ni@c:

Qantaga has indicated to me that he hasn't received the turn you sent 2 days ago. Please resend it to him.

He isn't able to get to the boards (business trip), so he asked me to post the resend message for him.

Thanks!!

Maniac · November 16, 2001, 17:04

Done!

Black Sunrise · November 17, 2001, 12:00

Teaching my Parrot to talk, hoping Qantaga is making heaps of money so he can rejoin us.

Indra

Qantaga · November 17, 2001, 13:57

Sorry for the delays. This was a brutal business trip. I could get to e-mail, but I could not get to Apolyton. I was unaware that the turn had been sent to me (since my ISP never delivered it to me). I did receive the resend. I am back home now and my turns should resume their regularly scheduled rate.

Unfortunately, the heaps of money didn't quite make it back in my suitcase.

2112 to Deimos.

I hope Googlie reads this thread from time to time...
Googlie, have you received your 4way turn? There were delivery problems the first time I tried.

Black Sunrise · November 17, 2001, 22:09

Founding of our fourth city.
