Geo Nervestapling Enterprises gets bankrupt!

After a diplomatic incident which has resulted in end of pact with Hive (see 3D 7.0), GeoNerveStapling Inc. has gone bankrupt after only three weeks of xistence. "After the incident we could clearly see that there will be reductions in trade rates and our newly signed trade deal was in danger. Already we have produced 2500 nervestapling units for outside market. Perhaps if we sign a treaty with Miriam she would be willing to buy the nervestaplers for her Sunday church. I do not believe this is end of GeoNerveStapling Inc."

BREAKING NEWS: Obstructor and GeoModder under CNA investigation!

Obstructor-Omicron-9 and Geo-Beta-Two are under investigation by CNA for "purposely damaging intelectual abbilities of another faction leader". As we all know, an accident with Hive ambassadors being nervestapled resulted in end of our pact with Hive. However there are indications that third person has been nervestapled, and that would be Chairman Voltaire himself! CNA began its investigation after several sources informed CNA director, Kassad-Omicron-Nine, about the evidence of third nervestapling. Customs office also had records that high ranking Hive diplomat arrived in Apolton Prime just after pact with CPU was renounced. But all personal info on this visitor is classified as top secret. Also there were records of a closed government meeting that was attended only by Obstructor and Geo.
Shortly after this incident allegedly happened, new PRAVDA announced that their Chairman is mysteriously missing, and that their faction is run by former operator. Some time after that, Hive Chairman has reappeared and started a witch hunt against CPU, accusing it of genocide and humanitarian catastrophe, while a mere observer can see this are shameless lies. And just recently we have witnessed hostile Hive acts, which resulted in slaughter of 10 000 innocent people. The se fact show us: 1. there was a third nervestapling
2. a Hive ranking official mysteriously visited CPU at time a government meeting was held with only two members, Obstructor and Geo.
3. Hive chairman mysteriously disappeared at that time.
4. Hive chairman later reappeared, with false accusations and visibly mad.
5. Hive actions became highly illogical after that.
CNA suspects that Geo and Obstructor devised a plan to nervestaple Chairman Voltaire which included "accidents" with Hive ambassadors to lure Chairman into CPU teritory. Motives to nervestaple Chairman are yet unknown, since we had mostly friendly relations with Hive up to that point. Obstructor said about the investigation "We both ahve nothing to da with that. There are only rumors about Chairman Voltaire visiting CPU and we would never do such an aggresive act against our friend, Hive. We are not responsible for sudden turnmoil in Hive policy and our conflict with them is result of inherent madness of their Chairman. We have nothing else to talk about." Legal experts say that there is not enough proof for this higly incredible charges against GeoModder and Obstructor. Some even say this is an attempt from Hive intelligence to destabilise CPU by demisioning their prominent members. We will update will more information as soon as we learn them.

May I post this in the main forum?

Marphiac: Welcome to the real world. We've done it, Skanky Burns. We've found him.
Skanky Burns: I hope you're right.
Marphiac: I don't have to hope. I know it.
Geo: Am I dead?
Marphiac: Far from it.
Jamski: He still needs a lot of work.
Geo: What are you doing.
Marphiac: Your link to the Collective Consciousness was removed, we're restoring it.
Geo: Why do my implants hurt?
Marphiac: You've never used them before. Rest, Geo. The answers are coming.
* Geo looses consciousness.

* Geo wakes up again, looks around.
Geo: Marphiac, what's happened to me? What is this place?
Marphiac: More important than what, is when.
Geo: When?
Marphiac: You believe it's the year 2159 when in fact it's closer to 2359. I can't tell you exactly what year it is because we honestly don't know. There's nothing I can say that will explain it for you, Geo. Come with me. See for yourself.
This is my ship, the CCS Love Boat. It's a gravship. This is the main deck. This is the core where we broadcast our pirate signal and hack into the Matrix. Most of my crew you already know. This is Impaler, obstructor, and laurentius.
laurentius: Hi.
Marphiac: The one's you don't know, Jamski and his big brother, Spamski. The little one behind you is Method. You wanted to know what the Matrix is Geo?
* Marphiac brings Geo to the Network Node.
Marphiac: Try to relax. This will feel a little weird.
* Geo is being linked to the construct.

In the construct:
Marphiac: This is the construct. It's our loading program. We can load anything from clothing, to equipment, weapons, training simulations, anything we need.
Geo: Right now we're inside a Virtual World?
Marphiac: Is it really so hard to believe? Your clothes are different. All the plugs in your arms and head have reappeared. Your hair is changed. Your appearance now is what we call residual self image. It is the mental projection of your digital self.
Geo: This, this isn't real?
Marphiac: What is real. How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
* Marphiac switches on the Holo Viewer.
This is the world that you know. The world as it was in the middle of the twenty-second century. It exists now only as part of a neural-interactive simulation that we call the Matrix. You've been living in a dream world, Geo.
These are the CPU continents as they exist today, destroyed. Welcome to the Desert of the Real.
Geo: What happened?

Marphiac: We have been brutally betrayed by the fullhumans. We don't know who scorched the lands, us or them. But we know that it was them that struck first and declared war. At the time they were dependent on raw numbers and industrial power and it was believed that they would be unable to survive if we tried to destroy those. However to replace their losses, they enslaved us. They severed all our links to the Collective Consciousness, replaced it with false information input to make us believe we lived in the MY 2150s, destroyed our identity, and put us to work as mindless drones in genejack factories. Combined with a form of fusion the fullhumans had found all the energy and production power they would ever need. There are factories, endless factories, where cyborgs are no longer born, we are constructed. For the longest time I wouldn't believe it, and then I saw the Cyborg Factory with my own eyes. Watch them recycle the dead so they could use the spare parts to construct the living. And standing there, facing the pure horrifying precision, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth. What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix is a virtual generated dream world, built to keep us under control in order to change a cyborg in a mindless drone.
Geo: No. I don't believe it. It's not possible.
Marphiac: I didn't say it would be easy, Geo. I just said it would be the truth. We have been fighting them for decades. And we will continue that fight for as long as it takes, to gain freedom for ourselves and to liberate this whole world from dictators. They may hunt us down for eternity in our homes, but the spirit and ideals of CPU will always live on!

GeoModder · March 19, 2004, 18:56

/me wonders if he's a secret subject from Project Unimatrix...

Again, Geo Beta-2's eyes are moistered.

It's beautifull, and a very good RP for our remaining turns.
Why not using this as a base to show the war from a 'matrix' point of view?

Thanks.

Though it is of course only a modified version of a conversation between Neo and Morpheus in "The Matrix". Have you even seen that movie btw? I guess some parts of their conversation might look odd if one doesn't know the images that go with the words.
Btw, should it be posted now, or the turn before we're destroyed?

Yes, I've seen part I and II from the Matrix, so I'm quite familiar with the text. Still, it's a good one. I think even the Hive will be touched with it.

I propose to put a poll about it whether to use it as a final transmission or a base to report about the Last War.

What I mean is, if this Issue 1001 is posted now in the forum you can use it as a base on how to show me how the 'imaginative' war went against Hive/Drones. A sort of 'transcend' comment on how the war went (my mistakes as martial commander, Drones/Hive possibly mistakes. That sort of stuff. Also, that way can all interested CPU members make a contribution to our final turns.

It will mostly be up to the remainder of the members. I'll be busy enough with brewing devious plans...

GeoModder · March 19, 2004, 20:46

And this is a first devious plan I like to propose:

Collect all offensive units in the former PEACE territory and sail north with two transports (fully loaded) and at least one cruiser as escort. The plan is to search and attack one of the capital cities of our enemies.

I realise that this plan moves all our current offensive units out of our territory, but it sounds in my ears as a way to get at at least one of them... And we might even use Drogue's suggestion for upgrading our marine units to XX units. Then we have a better chance at taking one of the capital bases.

Comments?

Skanky Burns · March 19, 2004, 23:24

Hell yeah, make them pay in a way they don't expect!
The bulk of their military should be in our territory, so this gives us a good chance. Would anyone object if I recommended torching the base should we conquer it?

Impaler[WrG] · March 19, 2004, 23:38

Yes lets go for it, An attack on the Hives North Eastern Coast would likly come as a Complete suprise, we could take some coastal bases and perhaps even knock on the door to Voltograd! It will be a suicide mission for all the trops involved ofcorese. Nerve Gass Missle troops will definatly be needed to break into the Hives Perimeiter defended bases. We should protoype ASAP (do we need to do that still?) and upgrade the troops in transit with our considerable credit supply.

Good plan Geo. Lets light the Hive up.

Great idea Maniac, I might even expand this a bit, if I have time (perhaps tonight). I am currently very busy so I never finished 8.0 Issue, and political circumstances kept changing.

Some time later:
Geo: Are we all that is left from CPU?
Marphiac: You can say so. Some gravships and Zion.
Geo: Zion?
Impaler:It is the last free city on planet. It is located near planet`s core, where it is warm. It is also the last sanctuary against Hive/Drones.
Marphiac: There could be more survivors..
Impaler: No, I thought we all agreed they are dead. That was an insane mission after all.
Geo: Who might be dead? Marphiac: You`ve probably met two another in Matrix, Kassad and Obstructor. As the prophecy said, they will return with an army from skies.
Impaler: This is rubbish, Marphiac, we shall make our stand here.
Marphiac: But you didn`t object when we decided to pull him out of there, did you? If he is the One...
Geo: Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Who is the One?
*Marphiac takes Geo in a separate room away from Impaler.
Marphiac:An old prophecy claims that one day, a cyborg will appear in our ranks. He will have the ability to manipulate Matrix at his will. He will be The One. He will lead the rebellion that will bring us to freedom. He will lit up the sky to signal our brethern far away, Obstructor and Kassad, to return here with Fiery Sky Army, and together you will free the CPU from the heavy shambles of Matrix.. I believe Geo, that you are the One.
*Geo is clearly shaken.
Geo: What, I am the One? I am supposed to be saviour? This is impossible!
Marphiac: But this is true. I have dedicated all my life to finding the One, and I am completely certain that you are the One. You may not believe it, but when you start to believe it, you shall become the One.
Geo: But even if I am the One, how am I supposed to fulfill the prophecy? I have to lit up the sky? And where are exactly Obstructor and Kassad? If they have an army why haven`t they freed us yet?
Marphiac: It was written that the One shall get all the answers after he finds the Oracle. But you will need to train before that. Matrix is a dangerous place.
Geo: I can die in Matrix?
Marphiac: Mind cannot exist without the body.

TO this part Maniac
-some text here-

Oracle:There is a device, called Subspace Generator, that Hive are building. They started work on it based on theoretical basis believed to be made by Obstructor, two centuries ago. They still haven`t finished it, or made any progress with it, since it was close to completion. After he failed to destroy the prototype before it was captured, Obstructor had a vision. Gods have shown him what shall become of CPU, how the Matrix will be born. He has also seen The One. Knowing that, he realised that he also has a destiny to fulfill. Together with Kassad, he has hidden bits of information through all of what was left of Collective Consciousness. Information was encrypted, and self-replicating, remaining hidden in the soon assimilated Consciousness, and even then in Matrix., knowing that one day the One shall appear and recover the data. With that Data the One shall be able to find the location of Subspace Generator and finish it with a single move of hand. Subspace Generator shall then transmit a message to their brethern, far away.
Geo:What has become of Obstructor? Oracle:Together with Kassad, he modified an escape pod, so it could get into planet`s orbit. The pod was launched just before the last CPU base was captured. Hive-Drones believed it was destroyed, but infact the pod made to the orbit. This is all I know.
Geo: What were they supposed to do in orbit? Oracle: They planned to gravitationally slingshot towards the Garden of Eden, Sol system. After they would get far away from Chiron they would activate their primitive fusion drive and increase travelling speed. Once they would get back to Eden, they would start raising a Fiery Sky Army, which shall you summon with Sky Torch, One.
Geo: Shall you give me the key with which I shall finish the Sky Torch?
Very well, One, but you need to be aware that you shall again meet an adversary of yours, on your way to the Sky Torch. His powers have grown too, and this shall be your last test before you fulfill the prophecy.

GeoModder · March 20, 2004, 15:26

I'm the One, eh?

Off course, you may...

Illuminatus · March 20, 2004, 18:13

Marphiac: Do you Geo?
Geo: What should I see?
Marphiac: You should thousands of Cyborgs, happily believing this is 2159., civilization at its highest level. But they are beeing tricked by the Matrix, not knowing that they are just genejack laborers in factories.
Geo: Why did you chose me? Was it because you believed I was the One?
Marphiac:There is a certain age after we do not try to extract minds. After they reach that age, they have grown far too dependent on the Matrix. Telling them the truth may have fatal effects for them. Many simply reject the truth and die.
Geo:I was above that that age, right?
Marphiac: Taking you out was a tricky decision. Most people do not survive.
Geo: But I did.
Marphiac: You are the One.
Geo: I still do not believe that.
Marphaic: You shall.

********************************************
Geo:I was wondering Impaler, you seem to have different implants than the rest of us.
Impaler: I was born in Zion, our last city.

How do you want the story to develop? Judging from the Subspace Generator conversation, I though you already had some rude idea how things would continue and end.

Here's a Matrix transcript btw. Can be very handy:
