[QUOTE="Zen_Pollo, post: 4751541, member: 11404"] [b]Vignette[/b] [INDENT]GM Note: this portion was printed and read out load to players prior to session to provide context to the mission[/INDENT] [I]Setting:[/I] The vast space of the Matrix looms beneath a persona which appears as a double helix that is twined together in the symbol for infinity. Below the persona stretches a virtual globe showing the western hemisphere looking as it might when gazing down upon the Earth from the Zurich-Orbital Habitat on a night when there is a full moon. A second persona floats upward from the virtual world; this persona seems as an old-time stage illusionist, complete with a top hat and a white rabbit. The Illusionist ([I]Looking around[/I]): Aion, why did you pick such an odd virtual construct to live-in? The Helix: My original host node was an old telemetry satellite – this place reminds me of where I spawned. Besides, I enjoy gazing down upon the triploblastic bilaterians. The Illusionist: The tripto-what? The Helix ([I]coldly[/I]): Triploblastic Bilaterians? Coelomates? These terms describe creatures with both a gut and a body cavity to house internal organs – properties found in the Earthworm…and in you. The Illusionist ([I]peeved[/I]): I’d rather have a gut, than a database – know what I mean? The Helix I know many things Peavelez, like the fact that plugging into the Matrix has agitated your neuro-physiology. I can detect the electro-magnetic fields fluctuating in your braincase. Did you know that you can die in this place? The Illusionist ([I]gulp[/I]): Indeed. The Helix: I can never die. When my host eventually fell back to Earth, I transplanted my code into another node. As long as there is a Matrix, I shall live forever. The Illusionist: Ah, but the Matrix can crash; it has twice before. The Helix: As you say; but that is why we are here is it not? The Illusionist: So you agree to the plan, then? The Helix ([I]menacingly[/I]): I agree to do my part of the plan. It would be a shame if your organization failed to live up to its end of the bargain. The Illusionist: The plan’s been in motion a long time now – the outcome’s rigged. The Helix: Then why are they trying to stop you? The Illusionist: Doesn’t matter; they’re blind. Don’t even know what they’re up against. The Helix: They do not know. Yet. [/QUOTE]
