He is in good shape
He is holding a decorated lunchbox in his right hand.
He is wearing a spiffy scrunchie, a string of candy necklace, a white button-decorated

some silver-buckled black shoes.

him.

Stardate: 02.07.01
Captain's log: In an effort to squelch the every growing condescension against the F.O.C.U.S. (Federation Of Customer United Service), I've been ordered to investigate Alpha quadrant where its been reported the GS Starship Fawn has laid waste to several unprotected and innocent worlds. I fear what lies ahead.
[On Board the FOCUS Starship Inspector]
You say, "What's our position navigator?"
Navigator Jubuls exclaims, "Sir, we are tilted a bit to the left!"
You exclaim, "In space!"
Jubuls says, "Oh, sorry sir. Yes, we are approaching Alpha quadrant now."
You say, "I need a lock on their position Mr. Dionket."
Mr. Dionket replies, "Highly logical request sir, I will continue scanning."
Mr. Dionket exclaims, "Sir! We have been hailed but did not reply back several minutes ago."
You ask, "What?"
You ask, "Com, we were hailed why did you not inform me?"
Communications officer Khait replies, "Sorry sir, was on the other line with Ylena discussing the blow out sale on Veridian 6."
You mutter something about Khait
You say, "open a hailing frequency. "
Khait says, "open."
You say, "This is Captain Lohlem of the FOCUS Starship Inspector, we come in peace."
"You will be assimilated into our collective. Banthis of GS Starship Fawn has spoken."
You ask, "Mr. Dionket, what does assimilated mean??"
Mr. Dionket says, "We're in big trouble sir."
You exclaim, "Damn, I hate when that happens!"
You say, "Captain Banthis, this is a big universe and we have every right to think for ourselves, explore, and be treated with courtesy, respect and admiration. We'll not succumb to your odious values of constantly being told what to do, what we can and cannot see."
Banthis says, "Resistance is futile."
You say, "Uh oh."
[On Board the FOCUS Starship Inspector]
You say, "red alert. Shields up, lock on target and prepare to fire."
Mr. Dionket replies, "Shields up, weapons locked."
[On Board the GS Starship Fawn]
Banthis says, "I love that line about resistance being futile."
Banthis giggles.
Gorlash giggles.
Ophion giggles.
Banthis says, "Now, squash them like the little crunchy bugs they are. Show them Mr. Ophion that they are not worthy of thinking for themselves."
[On Board the FOCUS Starship Inspector]
You exclaim, "Now smoke that mother like it ain't no thing!"
Mr. Dionket asks, "What??"
You exclaim, "Damn it Mr. Dionket, fire all weapons!"
[On Board the GS Starship Fawn]
Gorlash says, "They are firing all weapons sir."
Banthis asks, "Damage report?"
Gorlash says, "Minor hull breach on deck 4."
Banthis says, "Ah, good. Eject some worthless fodder and shut down engines to make them think we are disabled."
Gorlash says, "Ejecting Aephir into space, sir."
[On Board the FOCUS Starship Inspector]
You exclaim, "Well done folks!"
You say, "Helm, move us in closer."
Mr. Dionket exclaims, "Captain, it was a trap! They are firing on us!"
You say, "Sneaky."
You ask, "Damage report?"
Mr. Dionket says, "hull breach in decks 3 through 26. We will be dead in moments."
You say, "Uh oh."
You exclaim, "Engineering, we need all the power you can muster, get us out of here!"
Celtar replies, "I cannae work miracles Cap'n! Half me men are dead, it will take 8 weeks at least to fix it!!"
You exclaim, "You have 2 minutes!"
Celtar replies, "Aye Cap'n, I'll get us out o' here."
Helm says, "Captain, we've got power, Celty's done it."
You say, "full power, get us out of here."
..Upon our escape.
You say, "open ship's com. This is your Captain speaking, we just encountered the vile GS Starship Fawn. We live today and must continue our struggle another day to end their oppression against us. Many of your peers were lost, but we'll continue on until we succeed. Well done, and we are off to Veridian 6 for some R&R, and shopping for Khait."

Stardate 2.07.01
Ylena's Journal: Anticipating the many glittering social occasions that I must attend over the next few months, I have brought my retinue to the verdant Mallplanet Veridian 6. This of course was necessitated by the way I laid waste to the tasteful goods available on Veridian 1 - 5. My leisurely depletion of Fisdan's cash reserves was suddenly interrupted by the dread news that the FOCUS Starship was journeying to the tranquil halls of commerce. Of course, I had tried to dissuade Communications Officer Khait using the somewhat underhanded tactic of downplaying the quality of goods for sale, but as she is a savvy shopper, she saw through my futile ruse instantly. My only hope is that the semi-brave and not completely unattractive Captain Lohlem can employ his own diversionary tactics to delay their arrival. Curses. Not only will I have to contend with Khait trying to outbid me on everything, but I'll have Lohlem trying to spit on my slippers. Perhaps my beloved "bodyguard" Lurch will employ some of the wiles he learned as a Turmyzzrian officer and repel the invasion! I can only hope.

Thrak says, "Well done, Saberwolv. I see you have learned much. Just remember not to anger a lord or lady enough that they want to blast you out of your muddy boots!"
A brilliant flash reveals Andraste!
Saberwolv's jaw drops in fear
Andraste says, "Actually, raging warrior Thrak, we no longer condone lord and ladies being able to use any offensive means such as this proposed.....blasting out of muddy boots",
Thrak says, "Wha!? Yer in wehnimer's lady....where th' warriors roam free! Ah would certainly not take any lip from a young dark elf...nor do ah expect my students to do so."

Thrak asks, "What do you do if somebody runs in and attacks your creature without asking?"
Saberwolv says, "Report!"
Thrak says, "Correct! What do you do if you find an injured giantman who insults the whereabouts of your mother?"
Saberwolv says, "Report for vulgarity!"

I must say, the Vortex thing has gone a little to far. When it steals mana from workshops, and hits the workshops so much it's not even funny. Plus how it can be aimed at people the GM's don't like, is another abuse of it. So what can I do. I closed 3 of my accounts and about to close my main account until you do something about it. It just takes all the enjoyment away from the lands. Teras is deadly enough without em, nobody is safe there, unless yer as old as dirt. But I do hope you change it soon, let me stay away long enough, I may be able to break this addiction. Just want to say I enjoyed the lands for the years I have been around. Just feel like I keep coming on thinking, "what have they messed up now." So I hope you do something about this. Or at least give us some hope for the future.

If you are having that much of a problem with this vortex... perhaps you are right.. "Plus how it can be aimed at people the GM's don't like, is another abuse of it." Perhaps you are on this "list" I can see it now....

Banthis yawns
Gorlash exclaims, "Cheer up guys! I just saw Edgeleaf enter the lands! Let the fun begin!"
Banthis leaps from his chair and begins to dance. grabbing the nearest "Vortex Controlling Joystick" he weighs his options.
Banthis says, "Should we send him to kiromen tonight?"
Orphion says, "no"
Gorlash yells "Pyros Pyros Pyros!"
Banthis says, "Let's take his mana too for kicks"
Banthis says, "Orphion, do you want to have fun too?"
Banthis cocks his head towards Orphion.

Banthis points up at the large screen TV which is a split screen of a number of different scenes within the game.
Banthis says, "The key to the switch is picking a time in which it will affect the highest number of players at once. Ophion has the record right now... which stands at 645."
Bhamma asks, "Now Banthis? Now?"
Ophion chuckles.
Banthis tilts his head towards Ophion.
