THE DEVICE HAS BEEN "MODIFIED"

[Every communicator in the City simultaneously tunes to this post, whether it was on or not. Anyone who cares to look out the window will see a figure arcing through the air above the city, at high speeds but erratically. When the voice post kicks in, the wind is barely audible under the static, which rises and falls in volume.]

AHAHAHA! Too easy, too easy! I shouldn't have waited this long!

Long live the king.

[I sure hope you're not outside around downtown, because that neighbourhood - actually, most of the southern end of the City - is going to be dealing with tiny pieces of Iron Bot raining down on them. None big enough to cause any real, lasting damage, maybe half an inch square. He's in a bad way. Really bad. Not coming back bad. During the explosion, every piece of 'Starktech' in the City, customized or not, sends a mild electric shock to the holder. Not enough to hurt, just enough to get your attention. After the echoes fade, crazed, flanged laughter can be heard, but not placed to any one device. The post itself will not disappear or be altered in any way.]

AAAHAHA! YOU'D LIKE TO THINK THAT, WOULDN'T YOU?

The stink of stagnation.

Yes, I would. I was right last time, wasn't I?

Why does the cat want me to end communication with you?

[capemods]

You made too many guesses to be proud of one that was correct. But do keep guessing, it's quite fun.

None of the insects every learned to share. He's the worst of them all.

It's call elimination, my dear.

I am not something to be owned.

[capemods]

CHEAP. Lay your stake on a single solution and it carries more weight.

None of you are, freedom is the right of all sentient beings, I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. The Insects are afraid of me. [DRAMATIC SIGH] Anything they don't understand.

You're not the only one whose likes their herrings red.

Not everyone is comfortable with the intangible, as your Insects may well not be.

But some of us are. I'm ever so concerned. When are you moving onto the next host?

[capemods]

I suppose it's because the intangible is more difficult to kill, mm?




Next host?

Next host?

Oh, little knight, how you have missed the point.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Perhaps there's a point to that in itself.
