Session Start: Tue Mar 03 23:12:55 1998 Well, Maximus Prime... Good to have you aboard :) Glad to be aboard, Waitstate. * Waitstate doesn't like too many limits :) Well, Waitstate and Admiral Lil, I'm glad you appreciate my military techniques, unlike my former leader Optimus Prime. May Primus be with them for I know not how they can win with thier current battle techniques. Talents like yours can't go to waste Maximus, glad you're with us Have patience! The Autobots have very high ideals and don't like to sway from them, especially Optimus. We take a more... realistic point of view :) Well sir, I believe that will be Prime's ultimate downfall. I hope Optimus doesn't HAVE a downfall... With a sadistic lunatic like Galvatron in charge of the 'Cons, we can't afford a victory from them. * Waitstate stamps [APPROVED] on Internal Affairs Consul Welcome Admiral I am Maximus Prime, military Consul for LONAC. Lil, good to have your position finalized :) I agree :) I've worked with Iron Hide long ago before he died, and he gave me some pointers about security. I'll try to use them to the best of my ability to make being a LONAC member a secure choice. Thank you Maximus. I believe you will. You have my confidence. :) It shouldn't be too hard keeping two other people beside myself "secure". Well everyone, it's late, and I dunno about you, but -I- need to recharge. I declare this meeting of the LONAC Advisory Council closed I need to recharge too Waistate. * Maximus_Prime exits to his quarters for recharging Goodnight everyone * Admiral-Lilwall nods and makes way to his quarters Goodnight * Waitstate turns out the lights and goes off to his quarters, satisfied he has accomplished a good day's work Session Close: Wed Mar 04 05:37:20 1998 Session Start: Tue Mar 10 00:12:09 1998 Hmmm so we have a new member Waistate.... Not NEW exactly... he has been around nearly a week we have become quite well aquainted Really, well this is the first time I've met you. Welcome Stardrive. I am Maximus Prime. Tell me about yourself. What is your function Stardrive? I am the exploration Adjunct to the council... I think... is that right? Has Waitstate briefed you on my position here? SD: correct I know you're the... Military something or other... Military CONSUL thanks I like to call it the "kick ass" counsul :) Waitstate and the others have to keep me in order though.... just in case I get carried away:) As long as you don't change first contact protocol to "kill them" Or play "Doom" in the corridors of the base... I'll try not to:) hmmm, tempting though.... We have a perfectly good onboard net to play Doom on... :) Then again, for that last one, I'll probably be outside anyway.... I meant live, Wait. well... have you SEEN the latest Doom? (2235 edition that is) aw Wait, but it's not the same as the real thing Wait a minute!! How many do they make a year? They quit at 2, anyway. * Waitstate plugs the Network Interface Cable into the neuro-link ports on his head... Now they made Quake 2. Ahh... this is the Anniversary Edition :) * Stardrive floods the network with re-runs of "Sanford and Son" AUGH!!! * Waitstate frantically logs out Remind me to restrict your network privleges I've got 150 years of re-runs to catch up on, anyway. shall I shoot him Wait? umm... no... Besides, it's a good show. SD: umm... If you say so... at least let me cut his hands off so he can't touch anything :) You ever see it? that would be a -bad- idea... SD: yes Oh, I finally figured that out... Damn! I haven't shot anything in a week! Wait, permission to go to the target practice room, sir. Granted... don't ask in the future... for you, it's like a human child needing a bathroom break I can give you a ROM of Duck Hunt. * Maximus_Prime is in the target practice room All this extra data I collected on the way into the sector is starting to fill up my auxillery data storage. May I dump it into the computer? Some of it might be useful... I am back Just had to waste some droids... go ahead... make sure to file it in the appropriate sections... I had data-storage cleanup Ok... BTW, what's the appropriate section for re-runs? * Stardrive starts fooling with the com'puter... umm... entertainment/earth/tv/... be sure not to leave unnescesary duplicates I keep a well organized directory tree... shouldnt be hard to find talk about duplicates... how many times do they send out the same show? No wonder my aux banks were filled. I have to shutdown and recharge good night everyone. well, the current selection is fairly hand-picked has a complete set of most of the best cartoon shows from the 1980's I think I deleted all the duplicates... good... nothing like a good file-system purge Now we have just about everything up to the early 90's or so. hey, cool :) And my banks are cleared out in the bargain. Having the recordings in storage just ain't the same at watching them. I prefer to jack into the network and stream them to my optics... less stressful that way I see. But where's the enjoyment? That's not relaxation, it's a data transfer. naa... doesn't go thru my processors its like a big-screen right in front of the eyes :) Oh well... I say to-mA-toe, you say it's more efficent to snort the seeds up your nose. Figuatively speaking. well, what do YOU do? Boy, my logic circuts are getting worse than normal... must be time to re-fuel. I'd best be going. Session Close: Tue Mar 10 05:57:58 1998 Session Start: Thu Mar 12 23:51:46 1998 Except me, I'll be fine when that big screen TV gets here. Think the antique shops have any? * Waitstate finds a great deal on an an ancient 52 incher... cool! Unopened... factory condition... What a find. been in a warehouse for 300 years... heh probly needs a new memory battery... Probably needs a new cord too. why would it need that? The ship uses 110? sure it does... how else would I plug in my N64? * Waitstate keeps it around just for KI Gold :) I figured you had an adapter or something... How does a starship run on 110? it has an adaptive power system uh-huh... it also has NTSC and PAL support.. you gonna complain about that, or give up your old TV shows? ;P I still run them through the ship's monitors... so I don't care... The TV or the Ship? the ship the TV I found is American, circa 1992, so it only supports NTSC But the ship has NTSC and PAL support... yes Not that it matters... I recorded them in my data banks... I don't run on either... I thought you were the purist :P besides... how do you run them if you dont use NTSC or PAL? depending on where they originated I've saved them in the computer banks. The computer can reformat them. so you dont go for the pure, original, 512 scanline? You forget I'm a communications expert. yes, but you were upset at ME, cause I like to jack into the databanks and direct-feed to my optics :P Pure what? These things are so old... I just scooped them up on the way into the sector. In fact I've been working on a program to modify them to play on the holo-vision. That should be fun. well... then should I cancel my bid on the TV then? Nah, keep it. I still want a big screen, the computer can modify them all to work on it. heh... converting them BACK to NTSC... how funny... Well, the ones that were already NTSC still are, I haven't converted them yet. But the PALs can be convered with our advanced computers. ...big empty ship... You know, we should stock up on energon chips for when the TV gets here... and pop-energon... and mini-cubes... mini cubes are good for snackin' right out of the box, you know. storage bay 9 :) I told you... we are STOCKED :) even have some high-charge energon that I was able to smuggle on board... heh heh Session Close: Fri Mar 13 03:26:12 1998 Session Start: Mon Mar 16 22:58:08 1998 So whataya want to do today, Waitstate? * Stardrive sips energon cube *burp* I dunno... been kinda slow :) Do you wanna go to work today? Work? Bah! No I don't wanna do dat... * Waitstate logs into the Hypernet * Stardrive sings an inane song he heard on TV * Waitstate downloads .MP12 files Do you wanna pay some bills? No I don't wanna do dat! Do you wanna shovel snow? No I don't wanna do dat! Do you wanna go out to a bar? Yeah, Yeah YEAH! Ever hear that song? * Waitstate threatens to restrict Stardrive's TV privleges... I'll set the computer to play only Barney episodes... I mean it! * Stardrive threatens to jam Waitstate's hypernet connection. * Stardrive isn't good with authority figures. * Waitstate has the Master Overide key :P You can't overide my internal systems... all my communications hardware isn't just for watching TV. I could give Soundwave a run for his money. no... but I can set up a jamming field using the ship's systems To jam what? My jamming field? :) oh... I see nevermind * Stardrive flips on the TV. I thought you meant jam it in SOFTWARE Oh... no. The link has to go somewhere. I'm not that good with software. * Waitstate is * Stardrive flips channels... Why is Galvatron on every channel? * Waitstate wonders if you can jam a hyperspace sublink that is being constantly renegotiated by a Cybertronian mind... * Stardrive presses "mute" umm... Galvy? I dunno... new talk show? Maximus must have been fooling with the reciever arrays again. * Stardrive walks down the corridor. Harvey harvey, Harvey the Wonder Hampster! --lights go out-- Oops! Wrong switch! Huh? Whats with the lights? --lights go back on-- better... --TV goes out-- --TV goes back on-- * Waitstate sets his emitters to "remote control" mode [over comlink] is Galvy still on the TV? umm... well, not on EVERY channel anyway * Stardrive returns. There is a documentary on 'Con leaders on channel 457 hmm... up next: the Zarak contraversy... cool... Anything good on? hmm... Star Trek reruns... Cool! Saved by the Bell is on about 30 channels... ugh. * Stardrive tunes in Star Trek * Waitstate flips to Sci-Fi Channel/43 Hey, Voyager is on. The all-Trek sub-chan :) MST3K! sub-chan 12 :) Session Close: Tue Mar 17 03:48:56 1998 Session Start: Sun Mar 22 00:43:22 1998 * Waitstate gets his 100 gallon bottle of Surge * Admiral-Lilwall plugs into a power station ooooo *zzzzzzz* ooooooo *zzzzzz* mooooo *zzzzzzz*ooooma * Waitstate turns on the wall-TV. sets it for Sci-fi/1980-2010:random select * Waitstate gets out the Human-size accomodations... Will Vanadis be joining us tonight? oh well. Why not? :) Van! Good to see you! :) LOL ahh Vanadis, welcome to LONAC Pull up a chair... we're having a bit of a party :) Hi Van. Okay.. Maybe you tell an old whackado like me what your club is all about. fellas? * Waitstate is sitting at the back table with everyone drinking a 100 gallon bottle of Surge (a highly caffinated and sugary soda marketed by Coca-Cola if you dont know) * Stardrive is watching tv with one optical scanner and his computer moniter with the other. Who's in the crew? hehe umm us :) and Maximus Computer! change movie to Highlander! Do you ingest organics? I know some EXCELLENT human concoctions :) * Admiral-Lilwall ingested alot of them when he used to be human :D ingest? * Waitstate had one specially installed about 30 years ago ingest, consume, eat/drink... Ah Nah, my mechanic said that consumption of organics isn't good for my cooling system pressure :) I had an organic to energon converter installed about 30 years ago rather * Stardrive tends to prefer a bag of energon chips. So... whats up with everyone? Van, I assume you've got your quarters all set up? any problems getting moved in? No, Waitstate-pal Well, that b*strd quarter master of yours told me that I can't bring in my 'heads' collection.. * Admiral-Lilwall still setting up quarters hehehe Somehow, he felt insulted by someone having chopped off Cybertronian heads in their luggage the quartermaster? ug... I'll have a talk with the computer... we are low on staff... Of course, I had to 'relocate' his head after that.... Lucky it was only a hologram... LOL Okay van: I was glad we ran into you here... the ship is awfully big for five people * Stardrive turns off his terminal in disgust. and if that Quartermaster program gives you any more trouble, don't hesitate to call me :) Waitstate, hon, be sure.. next time, I'll re-program it so that it plays Apollo's playbots... :) oh my... * Vanadis laughs dirty Hey, ya sure ya wanna have me in your crew? :) hehe sure thing... you're just the kind of person we want :) * Stardrive flops into his recliner. Waitystaty, sugar.... you're a real cutie.. :) heh... thanks :) Session Close: Sun Mar 22 04:25:33 1998 Session Start: Sun Mar 22 22:35:03 1998 We kind of needed that wall, didn't we, Wait? Umm... it can be fixed... Lil, dont break any more walls, please. I could have gone the other way and through the hull.....causing the ship to collapse in on itself :D Don't we have emergency force-fields to prevent that? there was no danger of decompression... we are nowhere near an external bulkhead :) Besides... we'd rather you not destroy ANY of the ship. ok well I could have gone out the window We kind of need it a while longer... but... we don't really have the funds for massive repair work... keep the damage to a minimum, ok? we do have a window in the rec room right lil: its a holo D: nooooo :P * Waitstate changes the window view from port to starboard * Stardrive watches a mini-mouse run through the rec-room see? * Stardrive changes the window view to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. * Waitstate puts it back to a port view :p anyway... * Admiral-Lilwall wonders who is actually flying the ship........... autopilot * Stardrive leaves the rec-room *phew* besides, we are still in orbit of the planet we picked Vanadis up on * Admiral-Lilwall transforms to space fighter mode and flys around outside the ship heh * Stardrive shows up in the "window" waving Hey. * Admiral-Lilwall would wave through window as well, but space fighter mode not have hands, and not bothered to return to robot mode :P * Stardrive transforms into starfighter mode and chases Lil * Admiral-Lilwall kick stops and watches SD zoom over him * Admiral-Lilwall powers up and gives chase to SD Can't catch me... * Stardrive enters warp * Admiral-Lilwall hmph's "bok bok bok" ooooo I hope the QM program let her finish moving in... holo programs * Stardrive drops out of warp directly behind lil Hi. * Admiral-Lilwall stops, causing SD to run into him "keep your pointy nose outta my butt" :P:P:P:P:P * Stardrive's shields cause him to bounce off lil * Stardrive transforms and looks in through the holo-port * Stardrive makes faces in the holo-port * Admiral-Lilwall questions SD's sanity * Admiral-Lilwall wonders how much of it he lost spending so much time alone in space :P You have to learn to keep yourself amused... TV helped... I bet hehehehehe Some think I've watched it too much... * Stardrive waves through the holo-port * Waitstate turns on the external Holoprojector * Waitstate mouths "Get back in here!"

Session Close: Wed Mar 25 04:12:22 1998 Session Start: Wed Mar 25 23:14:51 1998 I like it this way, I've knocked the walls out of my quarters on either side and expanded into the adjoining ones. SD: gee... executive-size quarters wasnt big enough? Not to fly around in. Use the launch bay... it's pretty empty right now ;) Too easy. just... fix the walls... I dont need any unnescasary repair bills I can't I've rearranged the furniture into the other quarters, what does it matter? I'll fix them when we need them... in about 590 more crewmwmbers... because... they are in the EXECUTIVE WING... we will have executives much faster than everyone else You know, this one set of quarters I expanded into is set up really weird... you don't... you aren't an executive Oh, it's a hallway! Damnit Stardrive! do you know how much it costs to repair an inside bulkhead? I'll fix it... ok... you do that * Stardrive fools with a device and the wall re-appears. Just don't lean on it... I mean with a REAL wall... not a holo :P You want everything, don't you? I want my damn ship in one piece! is that too much to ask? * Stardrive boards up the wall. heheh * Stardrive runs down the hallway * Stardrive can be seen flying past the holo-port * Waitstate sells SD's vintage MST3K laserdisk collection to pay for repairs * Stardrive returns with Bob Villa Hi Mr Villa... you know how to repair starship internal bulkheads? * Stardrive steals Waitstate's wallet and buys back his collection well, we start with some duranium paneling... Now we replace these walls with a high grade Tritanium with a crome trim... * Admiral-Lilwall tries to go through the wall * Admiral-Lilwall bouces off the wall * Waitstate pays the good Mr Villa out of Stardrive's personal credit account * Admiral-Lilwall bounces onto fellow lonacer We thought about a chrome trim, but we thought it would be too fragile... Don't worry, wait, we're going to use this on the show, they're footing the bill. Thanks anyway. Oh... and now for a commercial break....... well... OK... But Stardrive, PLEASE dont "expand" your quarters anymore... ok? "do you suffer from intense insanity attacks?" "can't get that voice in your head to go away?" then you're a retard and should be locked away So... Lil... you been taking some unstable energon or something? Next we replace this drab floor with some high-grade wood... we now return you to your normal programming is that what that was? * Admiral-Lilwall dreads to think how the new wall will handle the aftermath of that once it's passed through his system Now I will demonstrate how to polish the new wood floor fo about 30 seconds, and then leave the rest of the job to my new assistant, Earl. Lil: any damage comes outta your personal credit accounts :P "reinforce your doors and put all loose items on the floors SD: LOL Moving on the the rec room... The rec room? * Bob_Villa walks down the corridor with a several cam-bots floating after him. Don't worry, he's got everything under control. what is he doing? Just ask Earl over there. why is he going into the rec room? to rec it no wait.... that's tim why is he going into the rec room? Well, while I hand wax all 3 miles of hallway, Bob is going to take Jim and Fred and start putting tiles in. * Admiral-Lilwall throws Wait over to bob's helper earl go ask him Tiles? The rec room is carpeted... not for much longer it seems Then I think they're going to install new carpeting in the mess hall. No wait, that's backwards. He's going to re-tile the mess and re-carpet the rec room. the mess hall is backwards!! I hope not... the Mess Hall ISN'T carpeted... D: Earl: OH. That makes more sense Bye I'm sure now. They're going to re-tile the mess and re-carpet the rec room. sorry * Bobs_Helper_Earl resumes waxing... only 2.995 miles of hallway to go. you don't have to keep doing that you know... * Admiral-Lilwall goes and plays in the engine room * Admiral-Lilwall fiddles with the warp core Yes I do, or I'll get fired.

What does he care. oooooo security! He can't do anything to it now :) * Admiral-Lilwall wouldn't mind making 100 an hour * Bobs_Helper_Earl watches as the cam-bot finally loses interest and floats down the hallway. * Admiral-Lilwall fires on the warp core just for a blast I thought it'd never leave. * Bobs_Helper_Earl gets a riding mower with a buffer in place of the blades. * Waitstate would be worried, but luckily the Security system disabled all of Lil's weapons hah they could try but I massacred them * Earl_on_Riding_Buffer drives down the hallway lil: massacred who? * Earl_on_Riding_Buffer drives into engineering and knocks Lil over the railing and down the warp core by accident. oops. core breach! "bridge we gotta new problem" fine... "in 5 minutes we're gonna have a warp core breach, there's nothing I can do" :P * Earl_on_Riding_Buffer whispers to Wait: Does he know he's in a holodeck? * Earl_on_Riding_Buffer continues waxing the floor * Admiral-Lilwall disabled the safety protocols * Waitstate whispers back: I doubt it... I doubt he is even aware he is actually on the ship... >:) * Earl_on_Riding_Buffer quickly looks around to make sure the cameras aren't nearby. * Earl_on_Riding_Buffer continues waxing the floor You'd rather we try to re-build the ship, not blow it up. something like that :) Here he is now... * Earl_on_Riding_Buffer Bob_Villa Hi Mr Villa... all done? Well, we've re-done the mess hall, the rec room, the conference room, the bridge and the outer hull. wow... We're out of time for now, we'll have to finish up next week. Don't worry about that hole, we'll close it up next time. * Bob_Villa walks down the hallway. Wait! What hole?! * Stardrive walks up the hallway. What hole?!?! Have you seen the bridge dome? noo... why? * Waitstate is worried Neither have I. oh shit... They took out the old one, but the cargo ship never arrived with the new one. it isn't just retracted, is it? Nope. They took it out, and the new one isn't here yet, Guess we'll have to use the Aux bridge for a while... geez... We put up a force field, don't worry about it. still...
