My edition of "Other hobbies" spun off from other threads on this topic.

Wake up! Time to fly!
Ok the few pictures I managed to salvage have been inserted where I THINK they would have been so here is the next to last post of the story...

8-6-2043 13:00 Three levels below Beta Complex.

Alpha-1 calls Alpha-2 on coms unit to request Teleport coordinates to alternative control panel in Alpha Complex. As Alpha-2 relays the coordinates Alpha-1 relays a quick sit rep to pass on to the team. After Teleporting to Alpha Complex a security check is done and relayed back to Alpha-1 stating the O.K. to proceed. With the co-ords so close only two doors need to be breeched to get to next target area. No alarms are sounding yet in the housing complexes as the plan had succeeded in drawing all Asteroid Security
to the main shopping complex and the control room where most guests access the domes from.

No locks on first door as expected. Twenty five meters to the left is the target room where teleport controls should be. A quick check around the corner shows two security personnel guarding the door. A natural assessment of the threat shows they are only armed with Justifier MK II's and Maddox III blp pistols. Seeing such a weak show of force Alpha-1 determines that the likelihood of a critical hit from any of those weapons is slim he crosses the threshold and takes the two in an unarmed fight dropping both in a matter of seconds with not one round fired.

The advantage of surprise has worked in his favor as a technician was dumb enough to open the door to see what the thump was he heard when one of the security team had fallen against the door. Alpha-1 quickly neutralized the technician and moved to secure the remaining technician before he could sound any alarm.

8-6-2043 13:00 Jon Jacobs private office.

Looking on the monitors in his office Mr. Jacobs sees the chaos and damage happening in the three areas under attack. As he yells into the com at the security teams coordinator to start recruiting hunters to help secure the loose mobs he is contacted by a "Special" Security Team Leader who states that all is secure within the labs below the main shopping complex where all the main problems are so far.

8-6-2043 13:00 Outside Jon Jacobs private office.

Ms. DeBorg' reaches for her personal com devise and presses a few icons and is linked directly to a satellite which transmits her call back to the space station on the other side of calypso from the Asteroid. When her call is finally answered and transferred to her Boss she begins to relay the happenings here on the Asteroid and asks for instructions as to what should be done. Ms. DeBorg' is told to contract the first captain of a spaceship able to get her to the space station and call back once she is clear of the asteroid.

8-6-2043 13:30 I arrive at Crystal Palace

Upon arrival at Crystal Palace I am surprised by the amount of excitement and activity as news of what is happening on the Asteroid has already reached here. Many of the upper level hunters are negotiating transportation as fast as possible to the Asteroid so they can "get in on the FUN".

I am stopped by several of the hunters I have met in the past and asked why I was not going to the Asteroid to help. I inform most that I am heading to Calypso to retrieve all my gear as my trip to CND was for pleasure and the possibility of meeting Neverdie for a business preposition I had regarding rental of one of his dormant domes. I almost felt bad not telling several of them not to go but knew I could not jeapardise the entire operation and let it be known I am involved and know others working in this resistance
movement.

Now to make it look as though I am in a rush to get to the teleporter so I can get my gear and get back to CND as fast as possible.

8-6-2043 14:00 Billys underground facility.

Alpha-3 teleports into the secure facility at a predetermined time to keep the security in place and only momentarily interrupted for his arrival. Billy meets him immediately upon his arrival in a debriefing room to get caught up with all the activity Alpha-3 can confirm personally. Billy informs Alpha-3 all is going as planned so far with only the minor deterrence for Alpha-1 due to Alpha-2's injuries.

They both have a laugh as the talk through what it must be like in the main shopping complex on CND getting over run by Atrox. They try to imagine all the unprepared shoppers trying to hide in the tiny shops with no doors between them and the Atrox.

Hopefully within the hour the final assault will begin as the Daspelators and and larger Atrox and other odd mobs get transported into the labs underneath CND. That will disrupt any plans they have for taking control of Calypso with the new mutated monsters they are trying to create in those labs. Hopefully some of the technology they are working on can be salvaged and made public after this is all done. New personal teleportation devises with accurate targeting, new mind-force weapons that have been withheld, and most of all the nano technology that can be used for medical not warfare purposes.

8-6 2043 14:00 Teleporter control room under Alpha complex.

Alpha-1 has finally secured the control room and has hacked the controls to gain access to the telepads needed to complete the mission. He calls Alpha-2 on the com and instructs him to use the north telepad in the beta complex shopping area and he will transport him directly to dome seventeen to release the attractant, then send him from there to dome twenty for the final release of the spray.

8-6-2043 14:00 Dome Seventeen

Alpha-2 materializes at the north telepad and assesses his radar for Daspilators within range. Only five in the immediate area. None close enough to be an immediate threat but close enough that Alpha-1 will need to be fast in rerouting where that teleporter sends them after Alpha-2 is sent to dome twenty.

They do a few fast run through's of what needs to happen timing each try to determine how fast the combination of transports can be done. They determine that twenty three seconds is needed just to move Alpha-2 safely out of the dome. Another 13 seconds to run a scripted program to reroute and disable the telepad in dome seventeen. That is the critical time because the chance of a Daspilator making it to the telepad before that script has completely run and putting it right on top of Alpha-2 in dome twenty.

A back up plan is made for Alpha-2 to run straight south as soon as he Teleports into dome twenty. This will put a little distance between the telepad and gain a few seconds for a disoriented Daspilator to have to find, and make the decision to attack Alpha-2 and not one of the mobs in the immediate area of the telepad. This also gives the gun turret a chance to put a few rounds into the Daspilator further distracting it from going for Alpha-2.


8-6-2043 14:13 Forgotten space station

Unknown 1: Is there any word on the assessment of threat to our project yet?

Unknown 2: We will know more when Ms. DeBorg' departs the asteroid and gives us a final report.

unknown 1: I don't think we have time to wait. Jacobs has lost all control even of his own Asteroid. How he did not see this happening right under his nose I will never understand. I say we purge the entire facility and retrieve our data and equipment later before it is all lost. If that facility gets discovered with the immanent investigation all will be lost and our cover here blown.

Unknown 2: we will always have our final say regardless of what happens. Many DNA from the original colonists are still on file here and we can start a new on any planet of our choosing. The robot forces can start terra forming any number of planets at our whim and we can rebuild another Calypso just as we did here.

Unknown 1: I suppose you are right. I am just leery of unresolved issues and loose ends.


8-6-2043 Dome 20 14:15

As he materializes in dome twenty and begins his run south Alpha-2 sees a large group of un armed civilians huddled near the gun turret for protection from the larger mobs in the area. After a few seconds he determines that the script had run fast enough to make the switch. He quickly calls Alpha-1 on his com and gives him a sit rep on what he is seeing and awaits new orders. Alpha-1 tells him to send all those people to the other transporter in the far end of the dome and continue the mission as it would take far to long to rewrite the code for the transporter changes.

Alpha-2 assumes a controlling tone and authoritatively instructs all the people to transport to the far end of the dome as he is going to shut this one down as a security protocol. The people seem hesitant to want to leave the safety of the turret but were soon motivated as one of the smaller Dasplators had gotten close enough for the to activate the very turret they used for safety. As soon as the gun fired when the Daspilator broke the plain of the hill up to the televator they seemed to find the motivation to follow Alpha-2's instruction.

As the last person disappeared into the teleporter Alpha-2 pulled the pin on the remaining attractant and keyed his com to tell Alpha-1 to start the escape script and he would meet him at the hangar containing the cargo container they were to escape in.


8-6-2043 Underground facility. 14:25

The screams from the laboratory scientists, workers, and security personnel were all that was transmitted through the coms system to Jon Jacobs office because of the dead communications specialist slumped over the console keeping the channel open. Breaking equipment, gun fire, screams and the sounds of fire crackling was all Jon Jacobs heard as he could not see past the body slumped over the camera of the com system.


8-6-2043 14:26 Forgotten space station

Hearing the same thing that Jon Jacobs was and seeing their com system with an incoming distress signal from the under ground facility the decision is made to purge the asteroid of all atmosphere in all domes, passageways, and living quarters. The labs main security system had already activated and was filling its space with halon dispatching any breathable atmosphere that would contain any fire AND kill any living creature within its secure walls.

Unknown 1: It is time to turn off the containment field on Akil and let the robot force clean any life from Calypso. Send the signals now. Dispatch four drone ships to find us another planet suitable for terraforming and report back daily until one is found and we can start all over.

Unknown 2: And reload Ms. De'Borg's DNA and start her retraining as well.

Phone conversation for last piece.

Jam!!! Baaaby, Yer not gonna believe the deal we just inked with that writer chick Trina uhhhhh what's her face yeah you know.. the one that writes for the ENN. Anyway the deal is incredible. Those stupid mini series she did two years ago some how got the attention of this rich guy. Anyway come to find out she is shackin up with this dude and has convinced him to finance a movie for her latest story. It was all quiet until they went public with the release to make it yesterday.

We sooo lucked out as my cousin Ernie happens to be this dudes accountant. He hooked me up with a lunch meeting yesterday with both him and this Trina chick. Holy crap is she out there. Talk about multiple personality disorder. Anyway after six hours of hashing things out not to mention a few thousand dollars in expensive booze, I penned a deal for JamHot productions to produce not only the feature movie but the full run on advertising as well. YES!! We get to pick and choose who we let sponsor this deal. Do
you know what that means for us.

Man I am sooo stoked. That's not all man.. Check this out. After the old man walks away to take a wizz we kept talking. Turns out she plays a bunch of video games and wants to have one made along the story line of the movie.. We throw this at the old man and he rubs his chin.. He says his mother always said those things were evil and make people lazy and stupid. He also says he sees how long she plays and how much entertainment she gets out of it and says he will sign papers giving us rights to that also. Providing the movie does well enough to come up with starting capitol for a whole new video game production company. Before we ended the meeting we were discussing Jamhot productions recent emergence into the TV scene and HE came up with the idea of maybe a TV series to continue her story if the movie hits big.

Well this is like THE BIGGEST deal I have ever worked my magic on. I need to scream, Yell, hell destroy something I am so full of energy. Dude Ill talk to ya tomorrow when I bring all the signed contracts over after they have been typed signed and notarized. Oh and Fire up 3-G get the word out.

I WANNA PARTY!!!!!!!



Thus ends the story as written over the course of my Honors English class right before graduation. I hope everyone who kept up was entertained and not too put off with the sudden ending but hey everything dies at some point right...

I got some other stuff from that class to toss up after the new year and maybe Ill even start to write real time here if I find a topic of interest suited to what we do here. Thanks again for the praise and support I was not sure how well this would go on an RC forum. Happy Holidays and a safe and healthy New Year to all!!!

Yeah I would've liked a bit more from the ending, but I still thoroughly enjoyed reading through it as well as the whole story over the past months!!

Maybe this will help tie the end together... My teacher knew all this before hand and had a better grasp of the ending so you guys mays well learn it too.

Trina = my avatar in the game (dual personalities). Trina is the main character written about in the story. In the end Trina finally turns full circle as a real life person (described as a nutbag with multiple personality disorder) who wants to make the video game about what was written in a story in which she was already the main character of.... See the 3 way circle?

Its a culmination of asking what came first the chicken or the egg trying to get the answer from an infinity mirror.

All the bad actors in the story are the real game devs, their company or two early adopters who invested heavily in the game and had things skewed a little heavy in their direction. The story is about them screwing over humanity in the story and eventually killing EVERYONE off. Meanwhile the entire time in real life they constantly changed rules at will and consistently took away more and more ways for investors (aka players using real money) to have a fair shot at ROI thus choking them out in real life...

Again a vicious circle mirrored between game and real life.

My rebellion against a one way corrupted system (sorta like real government) where I posted it all on their own forums and hardly anyone picked up on it until I wrote a theme song to go with it. THEN they got it and became indignant.

Wake up! Time to fly!
Hi everyone! I don't know if it might be called a hobby but I like to make some foil figures. Origami seems too hard for me with all those schemes. Working with foil is like something in between sculpting and origami. I think it even might be called a kind of meditation for me.

Sounds pretty creative mate. Here most people are involved with remote controlled flight which is the main reason for the forums. Its a community of RC hobbyists who like myself have other hobbies and this is a thread subbed off topic away from the RC forum stuff.

Feel free to make a new thread in the off topic section regarding what you do so this one stays on topic with stories I write. Then take some time to check out the main forum about what we do in the RC hobby as its very fun, educational, and a great way to meet more people all over the world with the common interest of flight.
