Just what I need on top of all the other troubles is for people to start calling me Rassilon The Red .. $ :::The Chambers of Morbius are cluttered and crowded. Thje walls are covered with citations, awards, testamonials. The tables have various knick knacks and awards on them. It is the lair of an egomaniac.::: @ ::in a sparkling white plaster library filled with ancient tomes and modern infocrystals, a beautiful mature redheaded woman paces:: @ Never before in the history of the Universe has any race been able to comprehend the science of time. # ::Rassilon rattles the two different proposals on old fashion vellum parchment :: @ In legend and folklore, yes, but those were the dark ages of knowledge. @ ::Her dutiful husband watches her from a workbench and smiles:: I know, love. # Rassilon> What are your thoughts on these . ::shakes the vellum parchments:: $ :::Morbius is a man of medium buiuld, with a high florehead and a cruel curl to his lips.::: @ We have a duty to use that knowledge and power to the advantage of all life, Theta. $ :::Morbius paces back and forth, ranting, as usual...::: @ With an Intervention Plan clearly laid out we can help civilizations poised on the brink of ruin. $ :::Gimel stands quietly and listens, head slightly bowed::: # Rassilon> No need to keep silent Omicron .. The rumors that I arranged the accident that destroyed Omega because he was a threat to my power base is just a rumor .. ::Cold gleam in Rassilons black eyes:: @ We can engage the Universe face to face, learn from them and prolong our own existence in time. $ ::: Morbius stops and turnsm looking at Gimel::: # Rassilon > We are all equals here free to speak our minds .. @ My research clearly shows this to be true. The High Council must agree. #:::Omicron looks up from the papers::: # ::Rassilon rattles the parchments some more:: Speak Omicron. @ It is in their and Lord Rassilon's best interest. $ Do you realize the immense power we have now. With the time projection facility, with the eye of harmony, and with 12 lifespans remaining, every part of the universe is poised to be totally subservient to me...er, I mean Gallifrey! # I'm inclined to give my backing to Morbius' proposal @ There are those who get involved and those who are guilty of atrocity by indifference. We are far too powerful to be indifferent. # ::Rassilon raises one black eyebrow :: # We would bring order to the Universe! # But only under your leadership, my lord. @ Theta> I agree, Lora, but... ::hesitates:: $ Gimel> My Dark Master, you must reing supreme. # Order under my leadership .. ::Rassilon lowers his eyebrow as if thinking about it :: $ The time will come when I will ascend to a new throne controlling Gallifrey, and through it, and our new powers, I can do my will with entire worlds. @ ::stops and turns her beaming eyes on her husband:: What, too over the top? # Rassilon> Why not Morbius . # I am uncomfortable with the thought of Morbius leading anything beyond a raffle @ Theta> No Lora, your speech is fine. It's just, don't you ever consider we're trying to do too much? # Rassilon> His ego is rather large isnt it . @ We have no choice Theta. The fate of the Universe and our people's future depends -- # He has not the acumen to lead others, nor the ability to sacrifice himself for the greater good. # Indeed, my Lord. $ ::: Morbius gestures with his fist, which is encased in a polycarbide alloy glove:: But first, we must properly direct the regime of Rasillon, away from the plan of that sophomoric Idiotess Lora! @ ::Theta holds up his hands:: I respect your passion on this, love. # ::Rassilon looks at the parchments in his hands and then tosses them on the table in disgust :: @ Theta> Call me selfish. I've seen how much of your time this has taken in the last few months. $ Gimel> Her flesh and blood should be but grease for your wheels on conquest, my Dark Master. # Rassilon> One plan involves the accumalation of power with the goal of setting us up as cosmic overlords .. @ Theta> Politics only seems to get muddier with time. I wish we would be free to concentrate on other things. $ ::: Morbius shakes his head::: We stand on the brink of global domination, and shde wants to become the wetnurse of the universe, not the masters. # As if I need any more paperwork to fill out .. # :::Omicron listens intently:::: @ ::blinks in confusion:: What could be more important than this? $ It is amazing to me that brigh fool Theta puts up with her. She must have some control over him, perhaps a bio-implant in the buy boy. # R> It would be rather pointless to do it .. We have nothing to prove .. We are Timelords. @ Theta> ::smiles:: Many things. Our grandchild for one? Did you forget? # :::Zamona listens as well, more reserved than the others::: @ ::blushes:: No, I didn't, but you needn't remind me I'm going to be a grandmother any day. $ ::: Morbius yells in Gimel's face:: Well, what do you think of this situation? @ Theta>::grins wider:: You'll make a beautiful grandmother. # R>Of course if we did do this. Set up a cosmic empire and play as gods. Then our enemies would strike .. Not that I know who they are but I am certain that they are out there .. @ Theta>Just as you did a mother. Think of it Lora. Think of all the wonderful things we can teach our granddaughter. $ :: Gimel jumps up and down and begins rantiong excitedly, a small sign of dribble coming from his slack lips::: @ Theta> All the places we could take her. She could see the Universe. # R> After all we barely beat the Vampires.. There is no predicting what else lurks out there with a hungry gleam in its eye for tasty time lord flesh .. @ It wouldn't change what happened here, now. $ Gimel> So the enemies of mmy dark master must have the life crushed out of them, their beings de-essentialized until their badsic molecular components are all that remain. The enemies of my Dark Master should be eaten slowly by the narf-bugs of the third satellite of Castorborus. @ Theta, I know you've been so patient. But I must make the High Council listen. @ It's not just the Universe that's at stake, it's our people as well. @ What we do with our power defines who we will eventually become. #R> This other plan seems more benevolent but the idea of us playing as guardians of all the other races using our control of time to fix things is a fools dreams .. $ Gimel> No mercy for them! It is hard, oh so hard, my Dark Master, for me to control myself around Rasillon, to feign that I am a sophiticated technocract when inside, deep inside, I am a raving lunatic servant of you anhd only you, my Dark Master. @ ::a young auburn-haired woman in the later stages of pregnancy intrudes:: #R > One flawed error in judgement and the whole thing would crumble down uponst us . $ Gimel> I will celebrate at the painful death of Rasillon, and also arrange it, if he opposes you wjhen the time comes! He will think I am his defender, when actually I am happy to be YOUR SLAVE! @ Susanamonea>I hope I'm not intruding. # :::Omicron nods, pretending to understand, though some of the details go over his head::: # R > Then theres our hidden enemies.. Both plans will bring us in contact with them and we are not ready .. @ Theta>::lights up and embraces his granddaughter:: Not at all. Your mother was just going over her speech. *** Omicron is now known as Zamona $ ::: Morbius smiles at Gimel::: I always knew that I liked you, Gimel, and I do. I so appreciate that you are so intelligent and so skillful, yet totally subservient to my will. I like that in people. @ Susanamonea>You're going to impress old Rassi as usual, Mother. # R > I do not admit to being afriad of these unknowns but concerned .. Yes very concerned .. Folly to court danger when there is no need. @ You shouldn't call him that. ::hugs her daughter:: What are you doing here? # R > These plans both go to extremes .. ::Rassilon truns and gives Zamona his icy black stare:: You are being very quiet .. $ ::: Morbius spreads his arms:: We must discredit the proposal of Lora and have Rasillon adopt our proposal. Then, after our society accepts their goal of universal domination, Rasillon will meet a brave and legendary death! @ You should sit down. Where's that husband of yours? $ Gimel> YES MY DARK MASTER! @ Susanamonea>He went to see a hermit. An idea he got from you. ::looks at her dad:: # :::smiles briefly::: Indeed, my Lord. $ ::: Morbius smirks and his lips curl even more::: And then, we will use the legend of Rasillon to back our rule and our plan. @ Susanamonea>I'm fine. I just got tired of staying couped up. # R > Speak your mind .. I promise that my storm troopers will not drag you out of bed in the middle of the night . @ Susanamonea>::pats stomach:: We both were. # very well... # R > ::Rassilon gives a very dry smile to Zamona:: @ Theta>So how is my grandchild-to-be? # :::smiles back, then folds her hands and begins to speak::: # R> After all they need their sleep too .. ::Rassilon laughs:: @ Susanamonea>Active, as usual. She rarely gives me peace. $ We must defeat and destroy this plan of Lora's first. Rasillon must not sedlect that wimpy woman-sotted, weak-kneed, feminine, sisterhood sickening, neuter nurturing plan of hers! @ Theta>She? # I believe our path lies not in either of these extremes, but somewhere in the middle. # R > ::Rassilon nods his head :: My thoughts exactly .. $ Gimel> But oh my Master, she has many clever arguments and many supporters among the high council. @ Theta>I'm having a granddaughter? # :::she speaks measuredly, being sure not to use her power::: # My apologies, Omicron, but we should reject Morbius' proposal out of hand. # R> Dont look so worried Omicron .. She's not using her powers of persuasion on you .. I could tell if she was. @ Susanamonea>As wild as me, probably. But I hope Susan will take after her father and grandfather more. # His proposal is a thinly disguised plan to gain untold power for himself. # Lora's proposal is the more reasonaable of the two... but even it has problems. $ That, my loyal but gibbering Gimel, is why she will not survive the argument she makes. She will either never make that argument, or we will use her death to disprove her argument. @ Susanamonea>::to mother:: I've been told I have wild red genes running thru me. # It is a most pleasing idea to nurture the other races of the galaxy ... $ Oh, I like that! We can show how dangerous the universe is by having something in it kill her! Her death will show that the proper course is not helping, but dominating! # But the possibility that we might nurture the asp at our bosom is too great to be ignored. @ Theta> Your mother's legend lives on in the Academy. # Rather than act upon either of these proposals, we should find the middle way. @ Susanamonea> It makes it very hard to live up to sometimes. When your own mother dares to challenge the mighty Lord Rassilon on a weekly basis... # R> Even Morbius has supporters. Unfortunate that Omega didn't take my suggestion to take Morbius along for the ride. ::Rassilon looks wistful:: $ ::: Morbius begins pacing again, ranting out his plan::: As she demonstrates her plan, some object of her inter-species cooperation could rip her apart in front of the High Council, and I could step forward with a staser and kill the killer, which prevents it from answering questions later about who arranged it all. @ ::expression turns serious:: # But how to do that, in a way that won't start a civil war...very tricky @ Theta> ::frowns and watches his wife pace again:: @ Susanamonea>What's wrong? @ Theta>::pats daughter's hand:: Your mother's just a little preoccupied. $ I'll be the hero, my argument will be proven, and Lora's blood will be splattered all over the High Council and that fool Theta. It will never wash out! We will leave it as a n everlasting memorial to my great moment. # R> I am certain that you can think of some way to do it Zamona .. Even I agree that you are more brilliant at getting people to work together.. # Perhaps there is some way to use both sides to point the way to the middle path? # :::Zamona ponders what may be done::: @ ::Lora ponders aloud:: They must listen. Everything I know, everything I feel tells me we must use our powers wisely. *** Zamona is now known as Omicron @ For the sake of the Universe and ourselves. # R > I could shout at them all day and get nowhere except for my own personal satisfaction. $ ::: Morbius clenches his fist:: The next steo to my universal domination will be over her dismantled body! # :::Reluctantly, Omicron sees some validity to Zamona's points::: # > ::Rassilon has found he quite loves shouting loudly at people:: $ Morbius> First I'll kill that bitch and then Rasillon, then, I will come for you! <> <> <> <> Hurray!!!! Bravo! Good job everyone!! *** Loradne is now known as Jacie Good job everybody ... I really did rant there. Haven't done that much. After the day I had I needed to rant! Great job all. I look forward to reading gthe log. I second that sentiment, Tuna:-) Not bad, if I do say so myself. That was fun. *** Omicron is now known as AlxKeegan * IrishTCat used all his energy killing the ewok Great game all. Yeah, I noticed Tuna. Never knew you knew those words. ;) Nice job of character development. Too bad we didn't have two more players. Hey rob, you going to buy one ofthe Krypto soft toys? We will next time. yes indeedy Tho I found out what at least Lynn doesn't come. David , No money .. oh, that's right, sorry There's a DW quiz game on Wed night at www.zealot.com chat I thought you knew that,Jen, sorry I didn't. Nor did I know Lynn attended. Did you check out that site I told you about David ? Well, my thoughts are with Steve. not yet, rob I'm on my way. Watch for another log this week. I have it written down somewhere though Night tuna! Peace all. Yeah. You may want to drop him a note Tuna. Just to let him know you're thinking about him. *** Dr1 has quit IRC (Quit: Dr1) http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/thejsaallstarstorysite I've been there and done that ..
