Please, the two of you, we can't stand around here arguiong, it is too dangerous. Time to act. [22:41] # Well, maybe I should add a few more colorful attributes to my "rep". Like skinning cats.

Remote molecular physics projections.into the wall:: [22:48] $ Maker Its sort of interesting .. [22:48] $ :::brings up the rear, slowly bearing his weight::: [22:48] $ Yes, most dangerous. The Triad shouldn't really be developing such capacities. It might destabilize this quadrant.

[22:50] $ That sort of power allows you to change the very structure of molecules from great distances. You could almost make a cool swimming pool in the middle of a moderately sized sun.

[22:51] # You might, for example, turn the brains of your enemy into mashed potatos from great distances. Not an encouraging tool in the wrong hands. [22:51] $ Ick ! Maker .. What a thought .. [22:51] $ Swimming pool indeed . [22:51] # It's more like a mortuary than a museum or a library. They must not trust anyone to use this place. [22:52] $ Imagine what the twisted minds of the Triad might decide to do with it? [22:52] # You may be right. [22:52] $ Make Mash Potatoes and Steak Dinners ? [22:52] # So which way do we go? [22:53] $ So, how would you know about this? You haven't been working with those...science guys, have you? [22:53] $ seems like you know far too much information. [22:53] :::looks around, then points in a direction::: This way. [22:53] $ Maker . This plaque lists the scientist who made the discovery as a V Ree .. [22:54] $ :: The Doctor looks at Victor sadly:: I've seen it all done before, and to no good end. Some powers are better left unknown. [22:54] $ ::Irish taps the plaque:: [22:54] # ::follows Vtreck out of statuary atrium, around corner and straight into the path of a guard:: Vtreck! [22:54] $ sounds like you've been here before on the wrong side of the glass. [22:54] $ Whats the next one do ? ::Irish points:: [22:55] $ :: The Dotor looks at trhe name::: Could be a common name. [22:55] # ::breaks into a bright smile when guard sees them:: Oh, hi. [22:55] $ :::continues on ahead of them as they stop to look::: [22:55] # Why hello, just the man we're looking for.

[22:57] <> [22:57] # ::grabs guard's hand when she sees him reaching for his com-link:: And I'm Jacinda Hunter. It's so good to see you, officer. [22:57] & The Triad has finally lost it! [22:58] $ And it isn't even painted a decent shade [22:58] # Vtreck and I were worried we were getting lost in this place. It's so big, isn't it Ser? [22:58] $ Maker .. ::Irish looks at The Doctor :: [22:58] # ::bats eyelashes about a bit:: [22:58] # Very big indeed! [22:59] &< Asloi Ell ::looks uncomfortable:: Sir.

[22:59] # Guard> You need clearance to be in this section of the vault. [22:59] $ :: The Doctor steps forward:: Wait justa moment, this nis not a good sign. [23:00] $ You're tellin' me. They could have at least put some decent armaments on it. [23:00] $ Not good signs indeed .. [23:00] $ Yes, um, ah, yes, not a good sign. Completely useless you see, a blind alley. Well, on we go...to the info banks at the center of the vault. [23:00] & < Asloi The TSF believes that the Vorosan beurocrats and the Cer Sceintific Council put too much reliance on automated systems [23:01] # Oh we have clearance. Show him, Vtreck. ::glances back and sees Doctor and company entering stautary atrium:: [23:01] [23:01] # Our clearance is right there :::points to the papers in the guard's hand::: [23:01] & Doesn't matter to them that they have worked for decades? [23:02] # ::waves hand behind Vtreck's back signalling Doctor to go other way around:: [23:02] $ :: The Doctor stops and looks back::: [23:02] # ::Guard grumbles as he studies the papers in Vtreck's hands:: [23:02] $ :: The Doctor thinks, should he go ahead to the vault, or is he duty bound to stop the Triad from getting even crude time travel technology.::: [23:03] & < Asloi Not really sir. They feel it is foolish not to have live personel on station. [23:03] # Guard> Alpha 2 ratings are 3 weeks old. Where's the updated delta ratings? [23:03] $ ::Irish looks at the blinking lights with interest as he waits on Maker:: [23:03] # I'm sure everything is in order :::talks in a peculiar tone of voice:: [23:03] $//Well Irish, ahead to the secrets or do we need to tidy up this nasty criminal time tra vel experiment first?// [23:03] # Delta? ::beams innocent confused smile:: [23:04] $ Let's just get on with it.

[23:04] # Oh, Delta, that's right...::hands the guard another piece of paper:: [23:04] # Guard>You shoulda been issued a Delta permit upon landing in Vorasa base. Where is it? [23:04] $//Its up to you Maker . But if you dont go through with the crime then you wont get the information about the assassin // [23:04] $ The sooner I can ditch the two of you, the better. [23:05] & :::raises uniform cuff to his mouth and presses one of the buttons::: All personel. All personel. You are to leave your hidden positions at once. My new assistant and I will handle this situation by ourselves [23:05] $ //And if you dont sleep becuase of nightmares do not share them with me or the Voice .. [23:05] # Guard> ::examines the translucent card and reluctantly hands it back:: Great, just what we need now. Egghead consultants running about. [23:06] $ //So do the crime and get what you wnat // [23:06] $ :::glares at the two of them just standing there, growling slightly::: [23:06] # Guard> So what are you two consulting about? [23:06] $ :: The Doctor nods his head:: We can deal with this experiment on the way out, after we know what secrets of my past are stored here. [23:06] & < Asloi ::: Shows off some of the exhibits to a totally disinterested Chuod:: [23:06] [23:06] # Uh, security? ::looks to Vtreck:: [23:07] $ :::finally bursts::: You're just like all the rest of them! [23:07] # We're supposed to make sure the security upgrades are functioning at peak efficiency.

[23:08] $ :: The Doctor begins trying to access the security system through a nearby monitor::: [23:08] $ Always talking and never doing anything! [23:08] # Guard> I know what that means. More checking up on all us sentries, eh? [23:08] $ Hear, hear! [23:08] $ Does sleeping count as doing something ? [23:08] $ : The Doctor conrtinues to run code-breaking programs::: [23:09] # Guard> We're not all like those incompentent TSF agents on [?] spaceport. [23:09] [23:09] $ No, it doesn't! You just lay there all the time! That's what everyone did where I came from! [23:09] $ :: The Doctor pulls a small red plastic cartridge much like a pack of cards out of his pocket and pushes a small yellow surface on one side of it.::: [23:09] # Oh, I'm sure all you sentries are doing a great job. [23:09] & < Asloi I am a liasion between the TSF and CSC because of my people totl lack of interesst in the military. Since such forces are necessary I feel I serve my people best by acting as they're agent [23:09] $ They just sat around all the time. No one bothered to think that our planet could fall apart because of that with [23:10] # Guard> You find me letting anybody starch my clothes frozen on the job. [23:10] $ everyone sleeping all the time and not bothering to do anything! [23:10] $ :: The Doctor smiles::: Well, that should block out all of the security scans in this area, but we will stand out like a black hole in their security network. [23:10] $ :: The Doctor turns back to the monitor and signals new code breaking sequences.::: [23:10] $ Only something outside of the planet could actually bother to make everyone sit up and do something [23:10] # Of course not. But it never hurts to go over the procedure. [23:11] & < Asloi There are those who would prefer the Triad to be broken, my goal is to try and maintain it [23:11] $ Something with enough power to go back an wake up all those sleepers before they ever went to sleep and let our planet rot [23:11] $ :: The Doctor shakes his head:: No, no, that's not working. I have, fortunately, three other ways of bneatinmg this system. [23:11] # Some of the criminal element these days are real crafty. I knew this one jewel thief, a gypsy with the quickest hands and smoothest talk you ever saw. [23:12] # Quite true. Following procedures in a timely manner is the sign of a good security force. [23:12] $ :: The Doctor goes back to pushing on screen buttons::: [23:12] & :::Snarls as he listens, causing more than one tourist to quickly decide to be elsewhere:: [23:12] #::listens interestedly to Jacie:: [23:12] $ :: The Doctor sits back:: Hmm, well, two other ways.... [23:12] # Guard> Well, I know my job. You find me falling to the sweet words of any space gypsy. [23:12] $::Irish starts to smile:: [23:12] $ :::growls, noticing no one's listening to him and stalks off to look at one of the other displays::: [23:13] $ :: The Doctor winches as the screen goes dark and then the system reboots::: [23:13] & There have been other planets, thet felt like that. And as soon as the TSF moves out, the criminals move in to fill the void. [23:13] # ::smiles sweetly at guard:: No, I can see you're an intelligent man. And very strong-willed. [23:14] $ :: The Doctor qries another seuenc:: Well, olne lkast try. [23:14] $ I can hear the whispers of time speaking to me .. ::Irish says as a slight green glow begins to form around him:: [23:14] # It'd be hard for any gypsy to put anything past you. [23:14] # I'm sure it would be very hard. [23:14] $ ::The computer in front of the Doctor flares up and then starts showing basic security screens again.::: [23:14] # ::bats eyelashes and guard clears his throat nervously:: [23:15] $ :::turns back, in startlement at the light::: Here now, what are you doing? [23:15] $ Most of the plaques in this Vault have V Ree on them which is interesting .. [23:15] $ :: The Doctor turns to ictr:: Well, oit ois what I am not doing hich is bothering me the most.

[23:16] & ::: The pair reach an outside door::: Come Asloi, step outside with me for a breath of fresh air [23:16] $ I am not breaking these security codes.
