My parents have recently intervened saying that I spend too much time on the internet.

They said I need to do other things.

They said I should only spend about an hour a day on it.

One hour in which to...

Study online courses
Take harmonica lessons
Work on programming skills
Practice for the ACT

And endless other things. I've since proven them wrong.

Velik Broj's aspect was polishing a beetle-chitin blade, and Nas was simply meditating. After what seemed like an eternity, they both emerged into the muddy arena.

The crowd was silent - it's not smart to disturb a warrior's zen.

Without a sound, they closed. Velik Broj allowed himself a smile as he lunged. He thrusted, putting one foot forward and twisting his spine as the other came off the ground. He turned a flip and landed on his feet - Nas knew that he didn't intend to actually hit him with that. Nas lowered himself, and struck left. Velik Broj lightly slashed his hand. Nas wanted to throw him off.

Velik Broj attempted a downward swing. Nas sidestepped and pulled away from melee. Without missing a beat, he jumped forward with great power. Velik Broj pulled up his blade to defend himself. Nas swatted it away and tackled Velik Broj, bringing them both to the ground.

Nas began to savage Velik Broj with his claws, Velik Broj caught his arms, stood up, and kicked Nas away. He picked up his blade and threw it - right into Nas's forehead. Nas fell over, lifeless.


The crowd recoiled. Their greatest warrior was felled. Did not Velik Broj himself say that they would be the masters of this world?

"Elves of the deepwood. You view yourself as being the masters of all races. In your pride, you have forgotten that there is one thing you will never control. ME!" Velik Broj let the last word echo across the forest.

"You have proven to be great warriors. Now that you have proven yourself, I have grander plans. The humans on the plains, and the Nezumi in the forest. They will serve you. Break their will, and you will not have to concern yourself with survival. Learn from the beasts, and build great cities. Build an empire."

I don't have it on my hard drive anymore. I guess I just didn't find it involving enough. I'm still plowing through Nethack and Crawl characters, but I just lost the incentive to play ADOM.

TOONYMAN!

No more paradoxes. The fiber of the universe might decay. Ir something really sci-fi might happen. Is that what you want?! SCI_FI IN DF?!

On topic:
I played and liked ADOM.
I play and like Nethack.
I play and like Crawl.

Notice the subtle difference?

206 SCAU (Solar Cycles After Union)
Finneus Newman Fourth Compilation


  I have returned unharmed. The distress signal was autonomous, and dented. Due to DNA scans, we have determined that the modified humans tried to silence it. This shows that they are intelligent, but culturally undeveloped. We suggest engineering a virus that could destroy them through asphyxiation, without harm to the environment. It'd be the most humane and cost-effective way to deal with them. With the DNA samples, we could extrapolate the nature of the modification, and send in a targeted virus. Is this not what this planet was terraformed for? Bio weapons?

  Speaking of asphyxiation, the solifuge specimen has suffocated. We believe that they are adapted to high-pressure atmospheres in the underground. We could perhaps clone it for further study.

  Joseph Woodard will handle the sealing off of the underground, and I will send in unmanned probes to collect information from below the tunnel system before it is sealed off, in case there are sentients and we should want to contact them at a later date.

  Seal off the underground, and continue weapon study above ground? It'd be hard to seal off every cave, but given a couple of SC we could have it done. Additionally, if we find sentients we will bore a temporary hole though the surface and send in a sentient contact team. I myself will remain in Weapon Testing Station 3.

It was only after highschool that I discovered I was, in fact, quite attractive and marketable in the dating scene.

The next decade was a blur of sex.

Can I sig this?

High School is great if you're stupid and attractive.

Unfortunately, I am smart and reasonably good-looking. (People complement me, but I just groom myself for hygiene)

High schoolers hate smart people. They try to humiliate you, but fail to understand that you can outwit them. Make their own words backfire on them. It's fun.

I went back to home school after my freshman year. I found it droll, lengthy and an utter waste of time. It's both cheaper and more effective to buy a good textbook and learn the material on your own, rather than sit through a class targeted at the societal dregs.

(Modified is genetically modified. They were forced to be born that way.)

  Evacuate the entire planet? Such a task would be difficult, it'd take an SC to remove every trace of human presence. I could have the team kept in low orbit while the sentient contact team does it's job. Perhaps I could send in some unmanned probes into the solifuge nest, to observe exactly what is down there. The solifuge nest is the only passage to the tunnel system.
 
 Newman has contacted me, he says the distress signal was left at the site of a crash. It's klaxon was sounding autonomously. It looks as though it's been dented. I hypothesize that the modified humans tried to silence it. He'll have a full compilation within a TC.

  I propose continuing observation from low orbit, or aqua-platforms. The ground obviously isn't safe. In other news, it appears that the solifuge specimen has a fairly slow metabolism that speeds up when it attempts to ambush prey. Though they still couldn't sustain themselves on meat alone. Perhaps they are similar to Terran ants and harvest algae?
 
  Awaiting Confirmation.

  We've sent an armed away team to investigate the distress signal, but there are no reports, and the signal continues. I've decided to investigate personally. I'm taking four of the best trained survival and weapons experts. They should be able to get me past the insects.

  It's not that the environment can't support predators, it's that it shouldn't be able to support so many large predators in one place. I'm leaving Joseph Woodard to further investigate the insects, as well as conduct the required seismic scans. I will report to you within 10 TC.

  Greetings. I've investigated the engineer's headquarters. It was abandoned about 4 SC before we arrived. Some of the engineers have been reconstituted, and are under questioning before confinement. They say that the modified humans were created out of necessity. Apparently, another form of life attacked their base. From underground. They hadn't set up defenses, since the planet was uninhabited and its coordinates classified.

  The seismic scans reveal an utterly huge underground cave system below most of the planet. They appear to be natural - they weren't part of the terraforming project. This is disturbing. If there was natural life below the surface, the terraforming could have disrupted it. It could be sentient based on the attack, but that is unlikely. The invaders used no weapons, only sheer numbers and brute force. The survivors were the ones who locked themselves in bio-hazard vaults.

  A solifuge specimen was collected and studied. It doesn't breath through book lungs like most arthropods, but instead oxygenates the blood through a large number of small hairs near it's rear. They have no poison glands, as their size easily compensates, and communicate through vibrations, dancing on the sand. It is likely that the solifuge nest is connected to the underground tunnel system.

  This is troubling. Should set the planet on high alert? I am awaiting your next command until Finneus returns.

  Acknowledged. My team has deployed scouts deeper into the rain forest and the desert. Your fear of further breaking of Union code is well founded. During their search, a small team sent into the desert found the ruined scraps of the engineers' headquarters. It appears to have been mostly abandoned. We found a few corpses and even a small group of survivors. By the looks of the bones, the survivors were forced to resort to cannibalism.

  We haven't found any intelligent life other than the modified humans, over half of the scout teams were lost or destroyed. We sent out single-man teams to collect their recordings.

  On another note, during one of my explorations, we found a colony of giant insectoid creatures. Most likely adapted from a solifuge. We tried to avoid them, but the things were just too damn fast. One of them took down an entire transport. We are currently researching how the biosphere could possibly sustain an entire colony of predators.

  No signs of modified humans. They may only be rumors... But we just picked up on a radio distress signal. It must be one of the lost search teams.

Course of action?

I much prefer cold to heat. Other people say that they study with it cold so they don't fall asleep.

Cold makes me sleep. Heat keeps me awake. Am I cold blooded or something?

  Greetings, Union Council. I have arrived safely at planet W1c-2. This is the previous site of the second Ecosystem Engineering Project (EEP2), and no complications arose during travel. As you know, the elite genetic engineers sent here are rumored to have modified humans in EEP2 - against Union law.

  I have been instructed to collect as much information about the planet before Union law requires my team to destroy the modified humans. I have not yet observed one, but numerous reports say they are seven feet tall humanoids covered in slick chitinous shells. Though this is likely an exaggeration due to the fear among my scouts, no description can yet be disregarded. I hope to collect a live specimen within four Terran Cycles.

  Other than the breaking of Union code, the terraforming and and ecologic construction on this planet are masterful. This planet was decided to have 70% of it's land to be covered in desert to test the survivability of numerous Bio-Weapons, and is doing so very well. We have the testing grounds set up in seven locations, one in a salty sea, two on barren rock, two on open sand, and two on the ice caps.

  I write to you from an observation tower in a northern rain forest. I am awaiting your orders as to what data needs to be collected, as well as any information you may need.
