[01:37] <SLAM[webcoding]> lol, K.
[01:38] <SLAM[webcoding]> Well...I guess an audience isn't necessary for the story. And anyway, AcidDose and BardCat will likely jump in when least expected.
[01:38] <grl> lol
[01:38] <BardCat> I'm here.
[01:38] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Huh? What? Did somebody say my name?"
[01:38] *** Christofori has joined #modarchive
[01:38] <SLAM[webcoding]> w000000t!
[01:38] <SLAM[webcoding]> WHRISTOFORI!
[01:39] <SLAM[webcoding]> Dangit...
[01:39] <SLAM[webcoding]> Christofori :-).
[01:39] <Christofori> lol
[01:39] <SLAM[webcoding]> lol
[01:39] <Christofori> Hey :P
[01:39] <SLAM[webcoding]> You were almost late :-).
[01:39] <grl> well look who the cat dragged in
[01:39] <Christofori> Hehehe
[01:39] <Christofori> Well, yeah.. I'm at my parents' house :P
[01:39] <Christofori> Almost late??
[01:39] <SLAM[webcoding]> I was (literally) about to type the opening line for my next story :-).
[01:39] <Christofori> lol!
[01:39] <Christofori> cool
[01:39] <SLAM[webcoding]> That's notthing.
[01:39] <SLAM[webcoding]> grl came in just when I was about to decide whether or not to tell it.
[01:40] <grl> well i can't stay for long
[01:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> So, maybe, if I think reeeealy hard...
[01:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> Ah, okay.
[01:40] * SLAM[webcoding] gets started.
[01:40] <grl> so i'll have to read it tomorrow or something :)
[01:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> Okay.
[01:40] <Christofori> Slam: The reason it was taking me so long the other day to get the story up is that I had to edit it for HTML (your email client truncated everything)
[01:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> !
[01:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> It was an attached text file!
[01:40] <Christofori> growl: "I can't stay too long"
[01:40] <Christofori> You always say that!
[01:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> lol
[01:40] <Christofori> No it wasn't!
[01:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> And she never does :-).
[01:40] <grl> well i can't, i'm tired, and it's 1:30 a.m.
[01:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> Oh, crap, right :-S.
[01:40] <Christofori> You had to put it in the body of the message...
[01:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> Dang, forgot about that :-S.
[01:41] <SLAM[webcoding]> Well, I can send it to you tommorrow instead and as an attachment.
[01:41] <grl> i'll be back tomorrow
[01:41] <SLAM[webcoding]> Okay.
[01:41] <Christofori> cool :P
[01:41] <grl> have fun! 
[01:41] * SLAM[webcoding] gets started...again.
[01:41] <grl> ;)
[01:41] <SLAM[webcoding]> WAIT!
[01:41] <SLAM[webcoding]> You have to see the opening intro at least :-).
[01:41] <Christofori> growl: "I'll be back tomorrow" <-- you always say that!
[01:41] <grl> ok hurry my dogs are havin a cow
[01:41] <SLAM[webcoding]> SLAM presents...

[01:42] <SLAM[webcoding]> SPACESTATION #MA
[01:42] <SLAM[webcoding]> 2
[01:42] <Christofori> oh no..
[01:42] <SLAM[webcoding]> Invasion of the #midi Snatchers!
[01:42] <SLAM[webcoding]> *eeries echo
[01:42] <grl> lol
[01:42] <Christofori> growl: "ok hurry my dogs are havin a cow" <-- You ALWAYS say that!
[01:42] <SLAM[webcoding]> LOL
[01:42] <grl> :P
[01:42] <Christofori> hehe
[01:42] <SLAM[webcoding]> dogs having cows...my my, what ARE we coming to...
[01:42] *** grl sets mode: +vv Christofori NeZbiE[Away]

[01:43] <Christofori> My..
[01:43] <Christofori> Voice!
[01:43] * Christofori sings
[01:43] <SLAM[webcoding]> ...And so it was that SPACESTATION #MA *eerie echo. was in relative peace, even given the upset of the week before.
[01:43] <SLAM[webcoding]> Night, grl :-).
[01:43] <grl> g'night you guys :P
[01:43] <SLAM[webcoding]> Christofori, what a great addition to the opening number :-D!
[01:43] <Christofori> Nighty nite, growl.
[01:43] <grl> see ya tomorrow for sure!
[01:44] <Christofori> :)
[01:44] *** grl has quit IRC (Quit: shake what yer momma gave ya)
[01:44] <SLAM[webcoding]> grl, to the relief of Brainwash, and the previously endangered population in general, was now in charge of the Etherdrive of the station.
[01:44] <SLAM[webcoding]> As well as the ships that docked for repairs.
[01:45] <SLAM[webcoding]> This particular night, however, grl had just gone off to take her new ship, the S.S. Dogs, out for a spin, as it was apparently having a cow.
[01:45] <Christofori> lol
[01:46] <SLAM[webcoding]> The French had left as well, and the station was, in some respect, undermanned, but the small crowd was nice, and there was quiet conversation in the dinner hall from time to time.
[01:46] <SLAM[webcoding]> AcidDose was working on his tracker, which had now reached a whopping 400 pages of code.
[01:46] <SLAM[webcoding]> BardCat was sipping on a martini, his 10th that hour.
[01:46] <Christofori> lol
[01:46] <Christofori> drunk bastard!
[01:47] <SLAM[webcoding]> NeZbiE hadn' actually LEFt, per se, but had fallen asleep at a table, right on top of a 5000x5000 pixel map of France that TrenteTrois had sent him.
[01:47] <SLAM[webcoding]> Gammis stood in a corner, pretending to be awake, but really having been taking a znooze for the last three hours.
[01:48] <SLAM[webcoding]> SLAM was cleaning up behind the bar, and having idle chit-chat with Christofori, who had arrived just in time to clean out the paint shaker.
[01:48] <Christofori> lol.. fitting job, considering what happened last time..
[01:48] <SLAM[webcoding]> For some reason there were no ops present at all.
[01:48] <SLAM[webcoding]> Yes :-).
[01:49] * Christofori impales MeowMiX with a large boulder!
[01:49] <Christofori> Wake up, frenchie!
[01:49] <SLAM[webcoding]> There weren't even any sleeping: and James-Bond could tell. Every time he hit the comm panel to contact the control center, he couldn't hear any snoring.
[01:49] <SLAM[webcoding]> LOL
[01:50] <Christofori> :)
[01:50] <SLAM[webcoding]> Curious but onconcerned, James-Bond continued sitting at a table, doing and saying absolutely nothing.
[01:51] <SLAM[webcoding]> Brainwash was walking out about the Windows platform looking out at outercyberspace and admiring the view. grl had fixed port 80 once and for all, so they were sure to longer have random troubles with it.
[01:51] <SLAM[webcoding]> As he looked up, he saw a pinprick of light in the Stary sky.
[01:51] <SLAM[webcoding]> He wasn't sure why he thought of the word "Stary," but he had, so we'll just leave it at that.
[01:52] <SLAM[webcoding]> The reason, however, was because the pinprick of light became a portal opening up from Etherspace, and the emerging ship was Stary's speedy little dinghey, the S.S. Stary's-and-Stary's-Alone.
[01:53] <Christofori> lol
[01:54] <SLAM[webcoding]> It rushed down toward the Windows platform at amazing speed, not bothering to contact the ops for permission to land. He seemed to know what was going on.It blasted through the atmosphere containment field, creating a rush of compressed air that knocked Brainwash off his feet and landed him on his toosh in front of a heavy pile f equipment.
[01:54] <SLAM[webcoding]> Stary pulled up just in time to belly-flop his ship on the deck, and bounce a few times until it came to a halt several inches from Brainwash's astonished face.
[01:55] <Christofori> lol
[01:55] <Christofori> "Stary the dangerous"
[01:55] <SLAM[webcoding]> Brainwash was so perturbed by this turn of events that his Scottish accent returned as he greeted a hurrying Stary. Stary jumped out of his cockpit, forgetting the ladders, and nearly breaking himself in the fall.
[01:56] <Christofori> breaking himself.. lol.. What is he, a bot?? :P
[01:56] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Ay, what's yer hurry, laddie?" Brainwash asked, helping Stary up, "You look like oyu're being chased by a bat out o' 'ell!"
[01:56] <SLAM[webcoding]> Maybe...
[01:57] <SLAM[webcoding]> "NO!" Stary yelled, "I'm being chased by something much worse!" Stary grabbed Brainwash's shoulders and shook him desperately, saying, "PLEASE tell me that Port 80 is stable!"
[01:57] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Ay, laddie, it is, but what's to worry, we've no incoming traffic anticipated for some time," Brainwash replied.
[01:59] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Oooh, yes we DO!" Stary yelled, then looked up to the sky. Right on cue, tens...HUNDDREDS...of Etherspace portals opened up, revealing hundreds of alien ships with alien markings. They were similar to the #modarchive logos, but far simpler and cruder, an the ships...they were completely different.
[01:59] <SLAM[webcoding]> "YOU SEE?!? YOU SEE?!?" Stary shouted like a maniac, "I've got to get help!"
[01:59] * Christofori flashes his large 1000-ft light-sabre around violently.
[01:59] <Christofori> hehe
[02:00] <SLAM[webcoding]> Stary ran off, while Brainwash stood there, mouth and eyes wide open in astonishment as the ships began approaching the platforms.
[02:01] <SLAM[webcoding]> Many landed on the Windows platform, many on the Linux platform, some on platforms Brainwash didn't even knew they had, a couple landed on a platform that mysteriously sprouted out of nowhere, and, yes, one or two even landed on the OS/2 platform.
[02:01] <Christofori> Bastards!
[02:01] <SLAM[webcoding]> Brainwahs, not waiting to see what came out when the hatches opened, dashed inside after Stary, deciding that Stary wasn't crazy after all, and locking all the doors and opening to the station securely.
[02:02] <SLAM[webcoding]> Indeed :-).
[02:02] <Christofori> Wait.. Stary owns #MA, so, he should have a really good plan. Right?
[02:02] <SLAM[webcoding]> Stary was in the dinner hall when Brainwash got there, and was waving his arms about wildly, yelling to everyone about the danger.
[02:02] <SLAM[webcoding]> SLAM and Christofori seemed to be listening, but didn't stop their bar work.
[02:02] <Christofori> lol
[02:03] <Christofori> 'course not!
[02:03] <SLAM[webcoding]> Well...eventually, yes :-). But as you know, everyone has to look like an idiot before their moment of glory.
[02:03] <Christofori> Ah.
[02:04] <SLAM[webcoding]> James-Bond just sat there for a while, Gammis was still asleep, along with NeZbiE, who had begun to drool on Paris.
[02:04] <SLAM[webcoding]> BardCat stood up. "Did you say...on the OS/2 platform too?"
[02:04] <SLAM[webcoding]> Stary paused, "Yes, on there too, but..."
[02:05] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Do you think any of them are from my homeplanet of Quebec?"BardCat asked expectantly.
[02:05] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Well, it's POSSIBLE," Stary began...
[02:05] <Christofori> lol.. He wants to rape them..
[02:05] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Well, it's POSSIBLE," Stary began...
[02:05] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Well, it's POSSIBLE," Stary began...
[02:05] <SLAM[webcoding]> Ah, dangit.
[02:05] <Christofori> lol
[02:06] <SLAM[webcoding]> "YAAHHHOOOOOOO!" BardCat yelled, and was out of the dinner hall in a flash. Several seconds later, they heard a dull thud resounding throuhgh the bulkheads as he tried to run headlong through the closed door.
[02:06] <Christofori> lol
[02:06] <SLAM[webcoding]> See? He just looked like an idiot. That means he'll probably do something in this story.
[02:07] <SLAM[webcoding]> The combination of drinks and cranial shock knocked BardCat stone cold on the deck, so at least they didn't have to worry about him trying to break the door down.
[02:07] <SLAM[webcoding]> AcidDose looked away worriedly, then looked back at Stary. "Okay, boss, so, 400 of them, and only a few of us? What do we do?
[02:08] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Well..." Stary said, "I don't know. They've covered the landing platforms completely...except for the OS/2 platform, so unless we come in from above, we have no hope of getting to our ships.
[02:08] <SLAM[webcoding]> "
[02:08] * Christofori has an idea
[02:08] <BardCat> Shut up
[02:08] <Christofori> MeowMiX: Shhh!
[02:08] <SLAM[webcoding]> Christofori? Speak.
[02:09] <Christofori> OK. How bout I go at them with my 1000-ft lightsabre, set to, let's say, 5 feet? That way, I won't destroy the station, but I'll be able to kill a whole lot of those bastards.
[02:09] <SLAM[webcoding]> Well, that would be a good idea, except...
[02:10] <SLAM[webcoding]> Christofori spoke up next, "OK. How bout I go at them with my 1000-ft lightsabre, set to, let's say, 5 feet? That way, I won't destroy the station, but I'll be able to kill a whole lot of those bastards."
[02:10] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Well, that's a good idea, Stary said, but there are two problems."
[02:10] <Christofori> Aren't there always problems?
[02:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> "First of all," Stary explained importantly, "They'd mow you down before you could hit them. Second...where is your lightsaber anyway?"
[02:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> Yes.
[02:11] <Christofori> Hmm.. Mow me down? You have no faith in the Dark Side of the Force! I will prevail.
[02:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> Christofori's face sort of melted as he said, "Rats, I left it in my ship." He then proceeded to smack himself in the forehead so hard that he knocked himself out.
[02:11] <Christofori> Damn you!
[02:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> Now oyu know why I have no faith in the dark side of the force :-p.
[02:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> Ah ah ah...
[02:11] * Christofori could have SWORN he just had the blasted thing!
[02:12] <SLAM[webcoding]> Remember, you just looked stupid. That means you do something important :-).
[02:12] <Christofori> Ah.. well.. then, I have another idea.
[02:12] <SLAM[webcoding]> BUT, sadly, you can't share it with us, as you're out cold as well.
[02:12] <SLAM[webcoding]> :-)
[02:12] <Christofori> Damn you!
[02:12] <SLAM[webcoding]> Ah ah ah
[02:12] <SLAM[webcoding]> SLAM rushed over immediately with a vodka, which he splashed on Christofori's face to revive.
[02:12] <SLAM[webcoding]> Him./
[02:13] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Huh! What! Where! Ah!" Christofori yelled.
[02:13] <SLAM[webcoding]> Okay, now oyu may share your idea :-).
[02:14] <Christofori> Ah. Well, then, since I somehow managed to have my lightsabre moments ago, only for it to wind up on my ship... :P
[02:14] <BardCat> http://www.communityseed.org/html/untitled.html
[02:14] <SLAM[webcoding]> Okay.
[02:14] <AcidDose> pfft, acidtracker, now with full 16 bit support
[02:14] <AcidDose> i'll add 24 too
[02:14] <AcidDose> =)
[02:14] <Christofori> I shall use my powers, and.. <looks around the room>... Ah. This <walks over, pointing> monitor to retrieve my sabre; all the while killing a few baddies!
[02:15] <Christofori> AcidDose: Can't you see we've got a crisis on our hands??
[02:15] <BardCat> Why have I not been mentioned yet?
[02:15] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Well..." AcidDose said, wanting to help, "AcidTracker now has 16-bit support, and I'll add 24 support too, probably within the next hundred pages."
[02:15] <AcidDose> no.
[02:15] * BardCat feels unloved.
[02:15] <AcidDose> hahahahaha
[02:15] <SLAM[webcoding]> BardCatL You have. You're out cold on the floor outside the OS/2 Platform.
[02:15] <Christofori> MeowMiX: You're.. yeah.
[02:15] <BardCat> oh.
[02:15] <SLAM[webcoding]> James-Bond silently grabbed a glass of vodka, and went downstairs, hoping it would have the same ffect on BardCat.
[02:16] <Christofori> ?
[02:16] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Stary, what exactly are these things?" SLAM asked, "You haven't told us what they are or why they're here."
[02:17] <SLAM[webcoding]> Suddenly, they heard a loud "MRReeeeooooroooowwwwwwww!" from downstairs, followed by a *thud* as JAmes-Band was thrown back from BardCat's awakening.
[02:17] <SLAM[webcoding]> Stary looked back.
[02:17] <SLAM[webcoding]> "They were human...once..."
[02:17] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Like us, musicians and music lovers, but...SLA....they didn't evovle with the rest of us, they're...they're...they're..."
[02:18] <BardCat> I was nicknamed "barfcat" on usenet.
[02:18] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Do I even want to hear this?" Christofori asked, not caring much for Stary's draatic act.
[02:18] <SLAM[webcoding]> "MIDI artists!" Stary blurted out.
[02:19] <SLAM[webcoding]> SLAM raised an eyebrow. Christofori faked looking shocked. BardCat walked in and announced "I was nicknamed "barfcat" on usenet."
[02:20] <SLAM[webcoding]> James-Bond walked in slowly after him, and handed SLAM an empty vodka glass.
[02:20] <Christofori> lol
[02:20] <SLAM[webcoding]> "So...we're dealing with MIDI artists..." AcidDose said.
[02:20] * Christofori is "shocked"
[02:21] <SLAM[webcoding]> "That's right! Don't you understand?" Stary started up again, "They're going to take over the statoin! We'll never stop them! Never! It's a secret, ancient art we can never understand! We'll be..."
[02:21] <SLAM[webcoding]> He was about to keep going, but Christofori threw a glass of voddka on him to sober him up.
[02:21] <Christofori> Yay!
[02:21] <SLAM[webcoding]> "How did they get here?" SLAM asked.
[02:21] <SLAM[webcoding]> Yes, your moment of meaning :-).
[02:22] <AcidDose> SLAM[webcoding]: its correct to use single quotes within a quote, aciddose said "slam said 
[02:22] <AcidDose> SLAM[webcoding]: its correct to use single quotes within a quote, aciddose said "slam said 'salami!', haha!"
[02:23] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Ah..." Stary began, thinking back carefully and drying his face, "I was flying past several channels, when all of a sudden, I took a wrong turn, intending to come here. Instead, I found...this horrible place..."
[02:23] <SLAM[webcoding]> I know :-).
[02:23] <AcidDose> well, =P
[02:24] <AcidDose> BardCat: is that a salami in your mouth or are you just a raving homosexual?
[02:24] <SLAM[webcoding]> "The station was crumbling, crumbling, I tell you! Like it's been there for many years without service. I turned around, and all of the ships said 'Hey! It's one of the advanced ones!" Another said, 'We will follow him to our new home!'"
[02:24] <Christofori> "Christofori said "AcidDose said "MeowMiX said "Slam said What??""""
[02:24] <Christofori> hehe
[02:24] <AcidDose> noooooooooooooooooooooooo!
[02:24] <SLAM[webcoding]> lol
[02:24] * AcidDose explodes. (in a non-sexual way.)
[02:24] <Christofori> HA!
[02:24] <SLAM[webcoding]> "So, I turned around and ran like I was being chased by a bat out of hell," Stary said.
[02:25] <AcidDose> its correct to place a period outside of braces, i belive. although, not in the case i just had.
[02:25] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Ay, laddie, 'tisn't a nice thing, a-stealin' people's catch phrases like that!" Brainwash said, entering the room.
[02:25] <AcidDose> because it only applys if the braces are within a sentance, haha!
[02:26] <Christofori> Dose: Shhhsh!
[02:26] <AcidDose> altough, in that case i think a period isnt needed at all.
[02:26] <Christofori> Dose: Shhhsh!
[02:26] <AcidDose> =D
[02:26] <Christofori> Dose: Shhhsh!
[02:26] <SLAM[webcoding]> "So, they son't want to attack us," SLAM said, turning on MOD CD 2, Track 3: Decibelter - Arizona Dreaming.
[02:26] <AcidDose> Christofori: pushhhhh
[02:26] <Christofori> Dose: Shhhsh!
[02:26] <AcidDose> Christofori: push push in the bush
[02:26] <SLAM[webcoding]> "They're just looking for a new home.
[02:26] <SLAM[webcoding]> ROFL
[02:26] <Christofori> Well, they can't stay here!
[02:26] <SLAM[webcoding]> "
[02:26] <BardCat> http://www.salon.com/news/1998/03/27quote.html
[02:27] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Well, they can't stay here!" Christofori said, slamming his fist down on the table they had all gathered around (except Gammis and NeZbiE, who were still sound asleep).
[02:27] <SLAM[webcoding]> "I know," said Stary, "These #midi guys...they're old and stubborn. THey won't leave if we just ask them."
[02:27] * AcidDose rapes NeZbiE[Away] in his sleep
[02:28] <SLAM[webcoding]> "What do we doo?" Brainwash demanded, "We've got no ops, and we can't get to our ships!"
[02:28] <SLAM[webcoding]> BardCat spoke up, "I've got an idea."
[02:28] <SLAM[webcoding]> "What is it?" They all said at once.
[02:29] <SLAM[webcoding]> "YOu can all get aboard my ship, because there's hardly anyone on the OS/2 platform.
[02:29] <SLAM[webcoding]> I can drop you off above your own ships, and we can...take off and do whatever."
[02:29] <SLAM[webcoding]> "I can't say I like the sound of that..." SLAM said, scratching his head.
[02:29] <Christofori> Dah! Just cause you can't run in OS/2!
[02:29] * Christofori tantalizes SLAM[weMeowMiXoding] with a cigar!
[02:30] <SLAM[webcoding]> "One problem," Christofori said, "We don't know OS/2! Once we get out to the platform, we won't be able to move!"
[02:30] <SLAM[webcoding]> LOL
[02:30] <Christofori> Hey!
[02:30] <Christofori> I can run OS/2!
[02:30] <SLAM[webcoding]> Oh...
[02:30] <AcidDose> so can i!
[02:30] <Christofori> lol
[02:30] * AcidDose giggle
[02:30] <SLAM[webcoding]> "No except me," Christofori said,.
[02:30] <Christofori> >:) I can run ANYTHING!
[02:30] <AcidDose> i told a fib hehehehehe
[02:30] <SLAM[webcoding]> "And me!" AcidDose piped in.
[02:30] <Christofori> lol
[02:30] <AcidDose> but aciddose was lying
[02:30] <AcidDose> hahaha
[02:30] <Christofori> No you can't, dumbass!
[02:31] <SLAM[webcoding]> SLAM looked sternly at AcidDose and Chistofori, "One of oyu ius lying, and the other is overconfident."
[02:31] <Christofori> lol
[02:31] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Doesn't matter," said BardCat, finishing another martini, "I've got a handcart."
[02:31] <Christofori> Stary, you were scared of those MIDI geeks! What the hell?
[02:32] <SLAM[webcoding]> So, everyone, except Gammis, who was now snoring, and NeZbiE, who had now flooded the better part of central France, went down to the door to the OS/2 platform.
[02:33] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Uh oh..." BardCat said, looking out the door's peephole, "What are we going to do about those two?"
[02:33] <AcidDose> yes the row-channel format is far superior to the old notation system...but midi isnt a notation system, its a Musical Istrument Digital Interface
[02:33] <Christofori> lol
[02:33] <SLAM[webcoding]> There were two "MIDI artists" standing vigil next to their ships.
[02:33] <Christofori> Dose: Go babble somewhere else!
[02:33] <AcidDose> babble!
[02:33] <AcidDose> babel!
[02:33] <SLAM[webcoding]> "yes the row-channel format is far superior to the old notation system...but midi isnt a notation system, its a Musical Istrument Digital Interface," AcidDose explained helpfully.
[02:33] <Christofori> :)
[02:33] <AcidDose> babelfish!
[02:33] <AcidDose> Instrument!
[02:34] <Christofori> Yes; go there. Now!
[02:34] <AcidDose> i can speak babelfrench!
[02:34] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Not a notation system..." Christofori mused, "We must be able to use that against them somehow..."
[02:34] <Christofori> lol
[02:36] * AcidDose blows a fart and blows the bloody thing apart
[02:36] <SLAM[webcoding]> Stary tore away a page of AcidDose's AcidTracker code. "Hey!" AcidDose objected, but Stary didn't care. Stary folded the sheet into a paper airplane. He then opened the door and threw it out, straight at one of the "MIDI musicians." It hit him right between the eyes, and in a poof of binary and crummy wavetable sound effects, the MIDI Snatcher was gone!
[02:36] * AcidDose wishes he has recorded that
[02:36] <Christofori> lol
[02:36] <SLAM[webcoding]> AcidDose had better just thank his lucky stars I didn't light it :-).
[02:36] <AcidDose> lol
[02:36] <Christofori> Quick! Save your code somewhere!
[02:37] <AcidDose> hhahaha
[02:37] <AcidDose> i ggp...
[02:37] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Quick, give me another sheet!" Stary yelled, holding his hand out.
[02:37] * AcidDose away! and into the future!
[02:37] <Christofori> Suddenly, AcidDose disappears!
[02:37] <SLAM[webcoding]> "NEVER!" AcidDose yelled, bashed Stary on the head with his stack of code, and then dashed off with his precious code.
[02:38] <SLAM[webcoding]> Everyone was after him in a flash. "ACIDDOSE! WE NEED YOUR CODE! IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEAT THEM!"
[02:38] <SLAM[webcoding]> Stary wouldn't listen to reason though, and kept running.
[02:39] <Christofori> lol
[02:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> Finally, AcidDose tripped on a deck plate that Brainwash had forgotten to nail down, and the stack of paper went sliding.
[02:40] <SLAM[webcoding]> They quickly gathered both objects (AcidDose was now unconsciuos, of course) and dragged them back to the OS/2 door.
[02:41] <SLAM[webcoding]> Brainwash stopped by the bar to get some vodka to wake AcidDose up again with (and maybe a shot or two for himself) and then got back to the door.
[02:41] <SLAM[webcoding]> AcidDose wasa awake in a matter of minutes, but not until every sheet of his precious code had been foldeed into a paper airplane.
[02:42] <SLAM[webcoding]> AcidDosegrabbed the bottle of vodka from Brainwash and drank himself under the bulkhead in despair.
[02:42] <SLAM[webcoding]> The rest planned their attack carefully. Stary opened the door and threy one more paper airplane, taking out the other OS/2 MIDI Snatcher.
[02:43] <SLAM[webcoding]> BardCat rushed out to his ship and came back with the handcart. He first loaded Stary onto it, and wheeled him to the back of the ship.
[02:43] <Christofori> hwg.. lol
[02:44] <SLAM[webcoding]> "You've got to be kidding me..." Stary said in disbeleif as Barcat lifted him into a entrance port below the tail of his ship.
[02:44] <Christofori> LOL!
[02:44] <SLAM[webcoding]> "No joke," BardCat said seriously, "Anything that goes on my ship goes in the rear end.
[02:44] <SLAM[webcoding]> "
[02:44] <SLAM[webcoding]> The rest of the group stood at the door with their jaws on the floor.
[02:44] <SLAM[webcoding]> "I'm not going next," SLAM said.
[02:45] <Christofori> <note to self; fix OS/2 bug which causes jaws to hit floor..>
[02:45] <SLAM[webcoding]> The rest heartily agreed, and decided to reason with BardCat about an alternate method of transportation...ANY alternate form of transportation. Christofori made a note to himself to learn OS/2, just to fix the bug that cause all of their jaws to hit the floor.
[02:45] <Christofori> MeowMiX, do you have another handcart? I could help, ya know..
[02:46] <Christofori> Hey!
[02:46] <Christofori> I can help! I know OS/2!
[02:46] <SLAM[webcoding]> BardCat came back with the handcart. The group wanted to get away rather badly, but couldn't as they were standing on the OS/2 platform.
[02:46] <Christofori> ..Not well, but I can at least function!
[02:46] <SLAM[webcoding]> Christofori could move though, and ran.
[02:46] <Christofori> lol
[02:46] <SLAM[webcoding]> At least he tried to run.
[02:46] <Christofori> Yay!
[02:46] <Christofori> uh..
[02:46] <Christofori> Wait a minute!
[02:46] <SLAM[webcoding]> He couldn't work in OS/2 too well yet.
[02:47] <SLAM[webcoding]> He made it past the door just as BardCat grabbed his shoulder and thre him onto the handcart.
[02:47] * Christofori struggles
[02:47] <SLAM[webcoding]> Christofori tried to escape, but the best he could do was kick and scream "Bad command or filenames."
[02:47] <AcidDose> just as he made it past the door, bardcat grabbed him and he was thrown into the handcart
[02:47] <Christofori> lol.. I think it's "Invalid Command."
[02:48] <SLAM[webcoding]> Correction folks: Christofori screamed bloody invalid command.
[02:48] <Christofori> No, wait! IT's "Stupid human! Formatting hard drive.."
[02:48] <SLAM[webcoding]> SLAM was now hearing Awesome- For a NEw World still playing the Bar, and was wondering if it was really an appropriate song for the occassion.
[02:49] <SLAM[webcoding]> Before coming back for the others, BardCat grabbed a three-foot-tube-of-lubricant, and applied it to the aft entrance port on his ship.
[02:49] <SLAM[webcoding]> Stary was next, and he slid right in.
[02:50] <Christofori> lol.. Just get on with it without the "unpleasant details," would ya??
[02:50] <SLAM[webcoding]> One after the other, everyone entered the ship, all the while doing their best to ignore the "unpleasant details."
[02:50] <SLAM[webcoding]> Finally, BardCat took off, and hoeverd of the Windows platform."
[02:50] <Christofori> "?
[02:51] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Yech..." he commented, "just hovering over an m$ product makes me nervous. Okay, everyone out!"
[02:51] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Um...how do we GET out?" Christofori's muffled voice came in from the aft "cargo bay."
[02:51] <SLAM[webcoding]> " = accident.
[02:51] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Same way you came in," BardCat said.
[02:52] <SLAM[webcoding]> One after the other, now able to move, they evacuated the vehicle's...cargo bay...as quickly as they could, and fell to their ships.
[02:52] <SLAM[webcoding]> Stary almost broke himself in the fall, but managed to climb into his ship with only a pulled muscle.
[02:52] <Christofori> Damn! I see that Dose forgot some airplanes. Guess he's SOL!! Hehehehe >:D
[02:53] *** BardCat_ has joined #modarchive
[02:53] <SLAM[webcoding]> The MIDI Snatchers tried to clamber onto the ships, buit...
[02:53] <SLAM[webcoding]> I'm just getting to that.
[02:53] <Christofori> Stary ALWAYS manages to almost break himself.
[02:53] <SLAM[webcoding]> :-)
[02:53] <Christofori> I just LOVE your typing while storying! :P
[02:53] <SLAM[webcoding]> BardCat popped halfway out of the aft port, his favorite part of his beloved ship, and started throwing paper airplanes about wildly.
[02:53] <SLAM[webcoding]> L-)
[02:53] <SLAM[webcoding]> :-)
[02:53] <SLAM[webcoding]> One MIDI Snatcher after the other disappeared.
[02:54] *** BardCat has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[02:54] <SLAM[webcoding]> If an airplane didn't connected with one, a MIDI Snatcher would become curious and go to pick it up, in which case...*poof*.
[02:54] * Christofori wonders: Where's lostbris?
[02:54] <SLAM[webcoding]> Good question. I kind of forgot about him since he left before I started the story.
[02:55] <Christofori> He was here? I missed him! Damn!
[02:55] <SLAM[webcoding]> Everyone got their ships started up, and took off as quickly as possible.
[02:55] <SLAM[webcoding]> Some MIDI Snatchers managed to cling to the ships, but they were quickly thrown off by the pilots' fast maeuvers.
[02:55] <SLAM[webcoding]> Nah, he left long before oyu got here.
[02:55] <Christofori> hmmz
[02:56] <SLAM[webcoding]> The pilots loaded their favorite MODs into their cannons, and opened fire.
[02:56] <SLAM[webcoding]> It did some damage to the MIDI ships, but the MIDI Snatchers didn't seem to care at all.
[02:56] <SLAM[webcoding]> Suddenly, another Etherspace portal opened. All the ships turned towards it, ready to blow it out of the sky.
[02:57] <SLAM[webcoding]> IT WA TIMELYARRIVALBRIS!
[02:57] * Christofori uses Awesome's MODs; which damage MIDI's AND repairs the #MA station.
[02:57] <Christofori> Yay!
[02:57] <SLAM[webcoding]> Good idea :-). I always use Awesome Ammo myself.
[02:57] <Christofori> <Christofori to Damnitbris> "Bout time, bitch!"
[02:58] <SLAM[webcoding]> Unfortuanately, the pilots were all rather jumpy, and this itme...jumped the gun, as it were, and pounded batteredbris's ship with MODs
[02:58] <Christofori> Doh!
[02:58] <SLAM[webcoding]> While they didn't actually damage the ship, the heavy and erratic beats threw him way off course and made him acidentally boost his thrusters to full.
[02:59] <SLAM[webcoding]> He blasted past the pilots, and careened towards to Windows platform.
[02:59] *** Gargoyle0 has joined #modarchive
[02:59] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Gargoyle0
[02:59] <Gargoyle0> hiya
[02:59] <SLAM[webcoding]> Just then, an op arrived! At last! The huge carrier known as the S.S. Notre Dame entered SPACESTATION #MA's *eerie echo. area, to deliver Gargoyle0 to the station!
[02:59] <SLAM[webcoding]> Hi :-).
[03:00] <SLAM[webcoding]> I'm telling a story.
[03:00] <Christofori> Garg!
[03:00] <Gargoyle0> what??
[03:00] <Gargoyle0> SLAM are you stoned?
[03:00] <Christofori> lol
[03:00] <Gargoyle0> ah yea
[03:00] <Gargoyle0> the one's from Christoforis page =)
[03:00] <SLAM[webcoding]> The S.S> Notre Dame loaded its torpedo bays with Drum'n'Bass tunes, and pummeled every platform.
[03:01] <SLAM[webcoding]> You read that eh ;-)?
[03:01] <Gargoyle0> i am some god there *eerie echo*
[03:01] <SLAM[webcoding]> lol
[03:01] <Christofori> lol!
[03:01] <SLAM[webcoding]> The heavy bass shockwaves blasted everything clean off the platforms, except that which was unlucky enouch to be slammed against the station walls.
[03:01] <Gargoyle0> hehe i have that gargoyle figurine from nôtre dame
[03:01] <SLAM[webcoding]> Anything that was...got kinda smooshed.
[03:01] <SLAM[webcoding]> :-)
[03:02] <Gargoyle0> it rules
[03:02] <SLAM[webcoding]> One of these was flatbris, who got plastered on the dinner hall window.
[03:02] <SLAM[webcoding]> BardCat was down to his last paper airplane, and decided to be nice and give it back to AcidDose, who would at least want SOME of his code back.
[03:03] <SLAM[webcoding]> All that was left to do now was clean up, and the job was the responsibility of...
[03:03] <SLAM[webcoding]> Another portal to Etherspace opened, revealing grl in her ship, the S.S. 32MB.
[03:03] <Christofori> growl!
[03:03] <SLAM[webcoding]> The first thing she said was, "Oh no, I take my dogs out for two hours, and just LOOK WHAT THESE PEOPLE DO!"
[03:04] <Christofori> lol
[03:04] <SLAM[webcoding]> Gagoyle took his station at "Ops" and began cleaning up the floating debris and kicked any remaining MIDI Snatchers.
[03:04] <SLAM[webcoding]> The S.S. Notre Dame patroled for a while.
[03:05] <SLAM[webcoding]> Everyone landed their ships, and met at the bar for a drink to celebrate their victory.
[03:05] <SLAM[webcoding]> All at once, somehow, all of them turned around at the same time and saw the window...
[03:05] <SLAM[webcoding]> With splatbris still painted on it.
[03:06] <SLAM[webcoding]> "Oh my gosh!" Christofori yelled, "They killed kenbris! You bastards!" He shook his fist at the departed MIDI Snatchers.
[03:06] <Christofori> lol
[03:07] <SLAM[webcoding]> okaybris was alright though, as he always is. Some say he is related to Kenny. At least they do now.
[03:07] <Gargoyle0> boy i sure hope i dont disconnect now, i havent read up so far =)
[03:07] <SLAM[webcoding]> :-)
[03:07] <SLAM[webcoding]> If you don't, I'm sure it will get posted.
[03:07] <Christofori> :)
[03:07] * Christofori looks around, wondering just WHO will post it...
[03:08] <SLAM[webcoding]> SLAM, meanwhile, had grabbed one of the Drum'n'Bass tunes that hadn't exploded on impact. He thought it was probably a dud, until he played it at the bar. It was MOD CD 2, Tracl 14. Petr Mikovec - Spacejunk, an excellent tune to wind down with.
[03:09] *** Gargoyle0 has quit IRC (Client closed connection)
[03:09] *** Gargoyle0 has joined #modarchive
[03:09] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Gargoyle0
[03:09] <Gargoyle0> gaaah
[03:09] <SLAM[webcoding]> It didn't cheer AcidDose up any, but it at least relaxed him, as he started all over again, rewriting his AcidTracker from the last remaining page that BardCat had saved, the first first page of code.
[03:09] <SLAM[webcoding]> You didn't miss anything :-).
[03:09] <SLAM[webcoding]> Literally nothing.
[03:09] <Gargoyle0> okie
[03:10] <Gargoyle0> my microsoft talking agent is reading the story to me =P
[03:10] <Christofori> lol
[03:10] <SLAM[webcoding]> And, as we depart and leave our heroes and friends to celebrate, we see the station, shining in all its glory, the starlight reflecting off vodka glasses, and...yes...there's grl scraping crudbris off the window with a squeegee. And thus ends this adventure at...
[03:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> SPACESTATION #MA! *eerie echo.
[03:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> THE END
[03:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> :-)
[03:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> Well, how was it?
[03:11] <Christofori> Slam: You ought to just email me the log; it's faster if just one person has to edit it
[03:11] <Christofori> Not bad :) Not the same level as the first, but still not bad :)
[03:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> Ah, okay.
[03:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> :-)
[03:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> Yeah, it was shorter. I need to come up with a slight plan ahead of time next time.
[03:11] <SLAM[webcoding]> Assuming any one wants a next time.
[03:12] <SLAM[webcoding]> lol
[03:12] <SLAM[webcoding]> Okay, grabbing the log.
[03:12] <Gargoyle0> slamleftsquarepracketwebcodingrightsquarebracked on numbermodarchive says: THE END
[03:12] <Gargoyle0> raaaaa
[03:12] <SLAM[webcoding]> ?!?
[03:12] <LR^Gammis^away> hi gagge :D
[03:12] <Gargoyle0> damn talking again
[03:12] <Gargoyle0> unnerving
[03:12] * LR^Gammis^away is back -(AutoAway after 30min idle)- gone 4hrs 35mins 51secs - (A) -
[03:12] *** LR^Gammis^away is now known as LR^Gammis
[03:12] <Gargoyle0> hi Gammis =)
[03:13] <SLAM[webcoding]> GAMMIS!
[03:13] <SLAM[webcoding]> You just missed it :-D!
[03:13] <SLAM[webcoding]> :-( actually.
