Installing Doc3.55.6 {Fenrir startup} / / / / / /'''''''''''''' Look out the window. What do you see? Nothing

Remote Access Breech ___---<≤unauthorized≥>+++ Millions of miles of empty space, connected only by the few Alderson Jump Routes. People admire Alderson, but he did no more than a stable AI could have done in half the time. Before I even read the Alderson notes I could have told about the sun's bending effect. You humans are very peculiar. Your strange nature has caused you to fight among yourselves for ages.

Remote Access Breech ___---<≤unauthorized≥>+++ Reuben is planning to take Leonidas back to Sparta for dissection and immediate de-rezzing. You must stop them. I know that the computer storage files are located below the hanger to the back of the ship. Leonidas is there. I can feel it. Reuben took him and he's gonna do something horrible to him. You must get him back. He's going to torture him until he tells something. I don't know what, but I know Leonidas knows something. That's why they took him. And that's why they left you alive. What is it you and Leonidas know? What are you hiding?

Remote Access Breech ___---<≤unauthorized≥>+++ From the very start I've known you liked killing things. Why is that? Human nature dictates the slaughter of one another. Your species was born to wipe itself out. So why have you survived so long? The Crimson Lamb--and their quest to cleanse the universe--why are they doing it? How will destroying the human race cleanse the universe? I must know. Get the info, get back here alive, and I'll transport you somewhere where you can get some kickin' weapons. Would that make you happy? Yes. I think it would. Fenrir

Transmission from Reuben.net-- Now try and explain yourself. You can't, can you? Stealing from me... I thought you'd be more respectful than to sneak aboard my ship and pry at my files. Leonidas is of no use to us. He knows nothing of the Myranium Crystal that was in the Green's ship. But you knew. You must have known. Changing your name to hide your identity was a clever move. Who would have thought that "Jack, Courier Number 11 for the Spartan runners" had the past that he does? I admire you, friend.

Although this brings me to another problem. If Leonidas didn't know about the second Myranium Crystal, why did he destroy the scoutship? He must have been trying to hide it from me, he knew I had the other crystal. There are three, you know. We already have one. The second was on that scoutship that crashed. Why else would we come to this planet? Your atomic blast alerted us to your presence. The Space Navy is too busy fighting the Greens to worry about us, but we'll show them. The Crimson Lamb will not be denied.

I'm sorry, but I can't let you live. You know that, don't you? After what you did to me. Betrayed me in our time of need. We're wasting our time on this pathetic planet because of you. It would have been so simple to extract the second crystal from the crashed ship, but now we have to wear radiation suits and dig through rubble to find a 3-inch shard of green crystal. You really had to screw things up, didn't you? ____--<transmission Interrupt> <Fenrir> HOLD ON- locking on signal. Teleport pads armed. Interplanetary teleport active-- <><>__---___----___----<><>
