|
|||

|
|||
|
|
31 It was a bleak land. Rolling hills of jumbled stone
|
|||
|
|
32 stretched to the horizon. A pale red sun, half-hidden by
|
|||
|
|
33 perpetual clouds, struggled to warm the chill air. The only
|
|||
|
|
34 sound was the shrill whistling of the north wind.
|
|||
|
|
35 Magus pulled his cloak closer about him as he surveyed the
|
|||
|
|
36 desolate world. He stood in front of the only artificial
|
|||
|
|
37 structure visible, a squat stone building that rambled across the
|
|||
|
|
38 crest of a hill. God, he hated this place, but The Calling was
|
|||
|
|
39 upon him and he could not refuse the summons. He turned and
|
|||
|
|
40 entered the building.
|
|||
|
|
41
|
|||
|
|
42 "Well, Magus," the demon said, "you certainly took your time
|
|||
|
|
43 in coming."
|
|||
|
|
44 "I came as soon as I could, my Lord."
|
|||
|
|
45 "You came only because I demanded it." The demon waved his
|
|||
|
|
46 scaled fist. "I have a task for you."
|
|||
|
|
47 "Such as . . ."
|
|||
|
|
48 "You will journey to the Great Library on Alexander's World
|
|||
|
|
49 and do some reference work for me."
|
|||
|
|
50 "Not again," Magus said.
|
|||
|
|
51 "Yes, again. I weary of your insolence. It is time for you
|
|||
|
|
52 to reaffirm your vow. Say the words . . ."
|
|||
|
|
53 Magus stood mute before the demon. There was never any love
|
|||
|
|
54 between them.
|
|||
|
|
55 "Say the words or feel my wrath. You conjured me but could
|
|||
|
|
56 not control me. Your ambition for power was greater than your
|
|||
|
|
57 ability." The demon held up a pulsing mass, Magus' heart. "Now,
|
|||
|
|
58 say the words . . ."
|
|||
|
|
59 Magus grimmaced and said, "I am yours to command."
|
|||
|
|
60 "Of course you are. Think of it this way, I have given you
|
|||
|
|
61 eternal life . . . or is that eternal damnation?" The demon's
|
|||
|
|
62 laughter echoed through the stone hall.

|
68 The white cat rolled over in her patch of sunlight, trying to get
|
|||
|
|
69 comfortable. She lay on her stomach, head on her paws, her tail
|
|||
|
|
70 twitching with irritation. The sun felt too hot, the birds were
|
|||
|
|
71 making distracting noises, she felt restless. She jumped to her feet
|
|||
|
|
72 and darted into the shadows by the temple wall. She rubbed her side
|
|||
|
|
73 against the old bricks of the wall, but that didn't feel right--it
|
|||
|
|
74 wasn't enough. The restlessness increased. She grew more irritated,
|
|||
|
|
75 her tail twitched even faster. She felt an itch somewhere that she
|
|||
|
|
76 was unable to scratch.
|
|||
|
|
77 Suddenly the shape-changer's human brain took over. She
|
|||
|
|
78 recognized the source of the cat's restlessness and irritability and
|
|||
|
|
79 realized the need for immediate action. If she couldn't change to one
|
|||
|
|
80 of her human forms, very soon the cat instincts would take over
|
|||
|
|
81 completely, and she would find herself the bad tempered but willing
|
|||
|
|
82 focus of attention for every male cat in the vicinity--she was going
|
|||
|
|
83 into heat! Far better to be a human female with a lusty urge than a
|
|||
|
|
84 female cat out of control. She didn't even want to consider the
|
|||
|
|
85 possibility of bearing and rearing a litter of kittens. She had to
|
|||
|
|
86 act fast!
|
|||
|
|
87 Using all of the override power she could muster, the changer
|
|||
|
|
88 forced the cat's body to run down the hill toward the river. Once on
|
|||
|
|
89 the riverbank, she had the cat curl into a sleeping position on the
|
|||
|
|
90 grass, and closed her eyes. There was no time to waste contemplating
|
|||
|
|
91 a new destination, she would return to the world of the Inn, and the
|
|||
|
|
92 shape of the one crone. Once there she could, at leisure, make the
|
|||
|
|
93 necessary decisions. She quelled the rebellious cat portion of her
|
|||
|
|
94 brain and soothed herself into calmness. She thought the name Hobeth
|
|||
|
|
95 and silently intoned the sacred vows of transformation. She
|
|||
|
|
96 remembered the pond near the Inn with the willow trees surrounding it.
|
|||
|
|
97 She remembered the body of the old woman. Her thought patterns
|
|||
|
|
98 started resembling those of that form.
|
|||
|
|
99 A few minutes passed. The white cat got to her feet and slowly
|
|||
|
|
100 walked into the swift flowing water of the river. Two boys who had
|
|||
|
|
101 been playing in the mud at the edge of the river, stared at the sight
|
|||
|
|
102 of the small white cat calmly walking into the water until it
|
|||
|
|
103 completely disappeared. When they told their friends about it later,
|
|||
|
|
104 nobody believed them. Everyone knows that cats hate water.

|
|||
|
|
108 oh, what lovely dribble has been written since my departure from frequenting the bwms.
|
|||
|
|
109 it seems as if nothing has changed
|
|||
|
|
110 oh well....
|
|||
|
|
111 <_>---> I don't know what this does, but it's pointed at you!!!
|
|||
|
|
112 When last we left, our begraggled hero was up a tree... or out on a limb, more
|
|||
|
|
113 to the point. After all, even if the ground is a bit less steady, you can see
|
|||
|
|
114 a *lot* farther. However, one look was enough to convince VanderVecken that
|
|||
|
|
115 the Inn was a far more interesting place to be than the tree... Especially
|
|||
|
|
116 with that short blue man over there waving his arms at him. Down, however,
|
|||
|
|
117 is no small feat when your brain is attempting to go into orbit, or at least
|
|||
|
|
118 reach escape velocity. After much effort, he reaches the base of the tree,
|
|||
|
|
119 to find that the blue man was not nearly as small as he appeared. Moreover,
|
|||
|
|
120 the blue man is definitely displeased. Sorting things out, VanderVecken soons
|
|||
|
|
121 begins to comprehend the blue man's problem. Over near the path there is a
|
|||
|
|
122 small sign. "Please Don't Walk on the Grass." Not one to offend, at least
|
|||
|
|
123 not more than is intentional, he hurries back to the Inn, muttering "If you
|
|||
|
|
124 don't like the way I walk, stay off the lake...," as he goes. Of course,
|
|||
|
|
125 he now has a serious problem: how to get back into the Inn. Well, going
|
|||
|
|
126 through the windows is effective, but frowned upon. Therefore, the door.
|
|||
|
|
127 Only one problem: Where is the door??? Walking all around the Inn, he finds
|
|||
|
|
128 no door. This is a puzzler. Perhaps if I try walking the other way?
|
|||
|
|
129 Thisd seems to be more effective - at least he recognizes all the scenery!
|
|||
|
|
130 After walking aroun four times, he decides to give up and explore the
|
|||
|
|
131 countryside. Perhaps an answer lies there. And where *did* that blue man go?

|

|
|
137 S/S/(etc): I have no idea what you mean by 'duplicity'. But even a poly-
|
|||
|
|
138 alphabetic cipher shows letter frequency. You just calculate the 'index
|
|||
|
|
139 of coincidence' for various key lengths. When you hit the correct key
|
|||
|
|
140 length the the Ci will be close to .067 (the larger the Ci the more the
|
|||
|
|
141 *plaintext* diverges from English [or any other language!]).
|
|||
|
|
142 Transposition Ciphers don't have *any* effect on letter frequencies so
|
|||
|
|
143 they are easily checked for.
|
|||
|
|
144 The remaining possibilities are a true code (unlikely given the length
|
|||
|
|
145 of the messages, code is *briefer* than plaintext). Or some advanced
|
|||
|
|
146 techniques that will still show patterns under proper analysis.
|
|||
|
|
147 The remaining choice is a poly-alphabetic with a key length >= the
|
|||
|
|
148 length of the msg (one-time pads). Only problem is if you use the same
|
|||
|
|
149 key for several msgs, then one "merely" has to do the tests on the set
|
|||
|
|
150 of characters in a given position in the msg. If you use a different key
|
|||
|
|
151 for each msg, you now have to distribute a volume of keys> the volume of
|
|||
|
|
152 msgs!! (thus you might as well send the msgs as send the keys...)
|
|||
|
|
153 The last two or three msgs *that I analyzed* had an essentially FLAT
|
|||
|
|
154 frequency distribution. This only matches one-time pads or a random
|
|||
|
|
155 'dummy' msg.
|
|||
|
|
156 *IF* I don't have anything better to do (unlikely) I'll check the msg
|
|||
|
|
157 on the previous disk...

188 KremVax, well, the story goes something like this... Take some horny marines
|
|||
|
|
189 is the USSR, tempt them with some russian sex kittens, and then using
|
|||
|
|
190 blackmail, have them smuggle DEC Microvax parts out of Boston through a
|
|||
|
|
191 secret series of package stations going down through the south from Florida
|
|||
|
|
192 to Cuba, and eventually to Moscow. Use the same sex-ploy on some nerdly
|
|||
|
|
193 unix hackers at University of California at Berkeley. Then blackmail them
|
|||
|
|
194 into bringing a Microvax version of the 4.2bsd distribution tapes over via
|
|||
|
|
195 airliner (the 4.3 networking stuff doesn't work on the uvax yet, but the
|
|||
|
|
196 ruskies are happy with 4.3). Then have this sex-satisfied computer nerd
|
|||
|
|
197 set up the microvax with full Berekely UUCP and SMTP, hook it in to seismo
|
|||
|
|
198 through a trans-atlantic fiber-optic link, and voila, the Russians are on
|
|||
|
|
199 usenet, with gateways to ARPA and CSNET. Our countries highest military
|
|||
|
|
200 secrets available to some lunatic hackers who happen to have first names
|
|||
|
|
201 like Ivan and Peitor. It is all so easy, so quick, and because of the sex
|
|||
|
|
202 in the equation, so unfailing. Hence, you have kremvax. Percival is a
|
|||
|
|
203 similar setup, except instead of Russians the culprits were Oregonians,
|
|||
|
|
204 but most of the rest of the scenario was carried out in a similar manner.
|
|||
|
|
205 Oh, instead of using DEC microvax parts, they used an old Tektronix work-
|
|||
|
|
206 station for their nefarious plans. The god fearing unix and xenix sites in
|
|||
|
|
207 the Portland metro-area put up with percival only because it somehow managed
|
|||
|
|
208 to get UUCP connections with a bunch of those left-wingers at Reed college,
|
|||
|
|
209 which I guess is no surprise, considering the political slant that
|
|||
|
|
210 particular institution has.
|
|||
|
|
211
|
|||
|
|
212 What can be learned from these intruders on the net?
|

|
|
213
|
|||
|
|
214 Sex is a very powerful weapon.
|
|||
|
|
215 Sex can get you just about anything.
|
|||
|
|
216 Only send married marines to hostile countries.
|
|||
|
|
217 Take the Forever Wars/Aliens approach and have coed Marine platoons with
|
|||
|
|
218 approval of fratinization.
|
|||
|
|
219 Never let UCB computer nerds without girl friends get their hands on a
|
|||
|
|
220 distribution tape.
|
|||
|
|
221 Simply give the Russians at AT&T 7300, let them get disgusted with the slow
|
|||
|
|
222 speed, and they will give up on unix of their own accord.

261 Gildor came back into the common room wiping excess oil from his
|
|||
|
|
262 hands onto the rag he found on the back steps of the Inn. His scaly
|
|||
|
|
263 friend's itch wasn't nearly as bad as the complaints had made it
|
|||
|
|
264 sound, but Gildor was glad to have caught it early. Dry, patchy skin
|
|||
|
|
265 is bad news on a fire-lizard.
|
|||
|
|
266 While he was taking care of his dragon's problem, Gildor thought
|
|||
|
|
267 about his own task. He had been told of a mage who might lend a hand
|
|||
|
|
268 in the search, but had yet to see anyone who matched the description
|
|||
|
|
269 of either him or his familiars. True, he could be amoung these
|
|||
|
|
270 various travelers here at the Inn, but the 'vibes' weren't right.
|
|||
|
|
271 There was no feeling of the magic this person was supposed to possess.
|
|||
|
|
272 Maybe Jaqew was wrong? Gildor thought for a moment. No, that
|
|||
|
|
273 couldn't be. Jaqew was very adamant about who to find and where to
|
|||
|
|
274 find him. He said this mage would be useful as he was well
|
|||
|
|
275 practiced in treasure hunts and the insurance business. Gildor just
|
|||
|
|
276 had to keep looking.
|
|||
|
|
277 Another bitter might help, Gildor decided. He had a mug filled
|
|||
|
|
278 and began to mingle with the patrons, listening for any mention of the
|
|||
|
|
279 mage known as Milchar.

285 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|||
|
|
286 Several hours passed before the mage realized that this world was indeed barren
|
|||
|
|
287 of civilization; perhaps of native intelligent life. He sat upon a large
|
|||
|
|
288 granite boulder which marked a gentle curve in the river he had been following.
|
|||
|
|
289 While he rested, he again examined his palm, looking again for the symbol that
|
|||
|
|
290 had shined brightly there for just a moment. Again he found that he could not
|
|||
|
|
291 find it, try as he might, with whatever senses he chose to use. It looked as
|
|||
|
|
292 it always had. But it felt different.
|
|||
|
|
293 The sun was low in the sky as the mage decided to attempt a spell of transport.
|
|||
|
|
294 He spread his magical implements before him, and surveyed them thoughtfully.
|
|||
|
|
295 His trusty 3 x 5 cards had taken the dousing well, thanks to the foresight of
|
|||
|
|
296 using vellum material to write the dweomers upon.
|
|||
|
|
297 He smiled to himself as he spied a grey-colored card near the bottom of the
|
|||
|
|
298 pack, which he withdrew and studied, his eyes glinting in the sun's last light.
|
|||
|
|
299 'Porlombic grandoluxim, werfidulon askuyabyn dolazuntiv, eksah!' he chanted,
|
|||
|
|
300 gathering together his posessions and focusing the ability of power within him,
|
|||
|
|
301 channeling it outwards and directing it in intricate patterns that wove a
|
|||
|
|
302 sphere of silvery threads that appeared to be the work of dozens of mad
|
|||
|
|
303 spiders. The silvery globe briefly outshined the dying sun, then contracted
|
|||
|
|
304 slowly to a point, leaving the river alone to bubble and babble to itself in
|
|||
|
|
305 private.
|
|||
|
|
306 A dimmer sphere of silver expanded from a point near the mainmast of the R.S.
|
|||
|
|
307 Razor's Edge an instant later, like an expanding soap bubble which broke to
|
|||
|
|
308 release a tired and scruffy-looking mage upon the deck. Carefully making his
|
|||
|
|
309 way down to his quarters, he collapsed into a hammock that stretched across
|
|||
|
|
310 the cabin, and fell instantly asleep.
|
|||
|
|
311 The Razor took care of her master, and gently rocked him as she floated upon
|
|||
|
|
312 a small creek over which a footbridge crossed, which in turn was part of a
|
|||
|
|
313 path to a cozy Inn with a large oaken door. The limbs of the Rowan tree
|
|||
|
|
314 seemed to move a bit as if waving hello to the returning dweomercrafter, who
|
|||
|
|
315 slept peacefully after his efforts.

342 <_>---> I don't know what this does, but it's pointed at you!!!
|
|||
|
|
343 When all else fails, ask someone who looks like they belong here. So
|
|||
|
|
344 saythinking, VanderVecken heads for the blue man, who is *still* waving
|
|||
|
|
345 his arms wildly. "Ybleth!," the man cried. Rising to the challenge,
|
|||
|
|
346 VanderVecken cried "Blue!" Now we're getting somewhere, he thought.
|
|||
|
|
347 Perhaps this besotten meanie could help me back to the Inn. "Do you know
|
|||
|
|
348 he way back to the Inn?" "Oh, you speak English!," the meanie cried.
|
|||
|
|
349 w"Well, in answer to your question, the Inn is right over there... Or is
|
|||
|
|
350 it left over there???," he looks around quizically. Waving VanderVecken
|
|||
|
|
351 toward the path (a Blue Brick Road), the blue meanie wanders off. "Well,
|
|||
|
|
352 if thats the how of it...," VanderVecken wanders along down the path.
|
|||
|
|
353 A short walk down the path, he sees a large sign labelled "IN ->"
|
|||
|
|
354 "A-Ha, perhaps this goes somewhere!" Attempting to follow the sign,
|
|||
|
|
355 finds himself in a rather large See of wholes (It's positively amazing
|
|||
|
|
356 at the Catholic church is doing these day). What can you do in a see
|
|||
|
|
357 of wholes? Chase the papal submaarine of course, and listen to fairly
|
|||
|
|
358 passable 60's music by the Bugs (We've got the quteset little cameras
|
|||
|
|
359 hangin' everywhere, after a while you'll just forget they're there...)
|
|||
|

360 At this juncture, a tall gremlin with a xylophone and a mohawk walks throug
|

|
361 a nearby whole. hay [D[D[D[D[D[Chey, VanderVecken, where's ht[D[Dth

387 Sleep had refreshed Milchar wonderfully, and he awoke rested and ravenous.
|
|||
|
|
388 His body sported bruises which ached painfully as he moved, but such was his
|
|||
|
|
389 cheer that the mage hardly noticed. He was back again!
|
|||
|
|
390 After he found one of his other garments, be felt human again- again decked out
|
|||
|
|
391 in a striking shade of blue, with small silver threads running along a few
|
|||
|
|
392 lines here and there. One by one the many tools of his trade found their way
|
|||
|
|
393 into the large pockets hidden about his robe. All but one tool- Milchar
|
|||
|
|
394 lacked his wand. It would take a lot of searching to find another of the same
|
|||
|
|
395 power, with perfect balance and channeling ability.
|
|||
|
|
396 The bright morning sun shone upon Milchar as he climbed onto the deck,
|
|||
|
|
397 unclouding his mind with such thoughts and filling it with new appreciation for
|
|||
|
|
398 the spring flowers blooming in the valley. He whistled an ancient ballad of
|
|||
|
|
399 magical adventure as he stepped upon the bank and made his way towards the Inn,
|
|||
|
|
400 where he knew a hot, hearty breakfast awaited him.
|
|||
|
|
401 Minutes later he opened the large oaken door and let himself into the familiar
|
|||
|
|
402 common room of the Inn. Many people satat scattered tables, chatting with
|
|||
|
|
403 one another and sharing the morning gossip. A few glanced at Milchar standing
|
|||
|
|
404 inside the door; a few others recogized him; and a handful wondered what had
|
|||
|
|
405 happened to him since his abrupt disappearance some weeks ago. One man, near
|
|||
|
|
406 the rear, at a table with a small dragon, gazed at him intently.
|
|||
|
|
407 The man behind the counter was not the Innkeeper, but served Milchar quickly
|
|||
|
|
408 and efficiently. "Just takin' care of things while he's gone."
|
|||
|
|
409 "Where has he gone? I have not known him to leave without very good reason."
|
|||
|
|
410 "No one I've talked to knows. Excuse me, I must wait on another gentleman.
|
|||
|
|
411 Good day." Milchar watched him move off to stand near another table.
|
|||
|
|
412 He sat down near one wall, and began to attack the feast before him, fending
|
|||
|
|
413 off questions with a small grin.

496 Jim Michaels: I've been to busy to run your tranpostion cipher through
|

|
|
497 any of the programs (or even attack it manually!). Note however, that a
|
|||
|
|
498 cipher is (in general) easier to crack if either the messages are long
|
|||
|
|
499 or there are a lot of them. Thus short 'one-liners' are almost
|
|||
|
|
500 impossible to crack...

502 Should I tell him? And this guy is Mr. know it all of ciphers...
|

503 Take a look at the one-liner cipher again. Now read the left-most digit,

504 then right most digit (character), moving inward alternating from left

505 to right.

514 Listen \\\\\, you seem to have a real personality problem. IF you don't have
|
|||
|
|
515 something nice to say about someone, keep your damn mouth shut. You can solve
|
|||
|
|
516 the puzzles without insulting others. Let us decide that 'Mr ciphers' is an
|
|||
|
|
517 idiot, we don't need your help or wise cracks.

539 Gildor watched carefully as a 'gentleman' in a bright blue outfit
|
|||
|
|
540 stepped into the Inn. Several of whom seemed to be the regulars
|
|||
|
|
541 merrily welcomed the traveller with the name that Gildor was looking
|
|||
|
|
542 for. "Milchar, where've you been? How did you disappear?" was the
|
|||
|
|
543 general cry, along with requests for more provisions.
|
|||
|
|
544 The power that emminated from this new being suggested that this
|
|||
|
|
545 was the mage of whom Jaqew had spoken, but the outward appearance
|
|||
|
|
546 seemed less an old wisened wizard and more a simple traveller. "That
|
|||
|
|
547 could be an advantage," Gildor reasoned. The slaps on the back and the
|
|||
|
|
548 explainations soon subsided, and Gildor creeped in closer to meet this
|
|||
|
|
549 mage.
|
|||
|
|
550 "Good morrow," ventured Gildor with the slight elven lilt evident
|
|||
|
|
551 in his speech.
|
|||
|
|
552 "And to you also," the mage replied between mouths of potato bread
|
|||
|
|
553 and bratwurst. "You're new here? I don't remember meeting you before."
|
|||
|
|
554 "Just in from the plains." Gildor knew that was a weak
|
|||
|
|
555 explanation, the Inn being surrounded by mountians. "I see you're
|
|||
|
|
556 friends are happy to see you've returned."
|
|||
|
|
557 The mage eyed Gildor suspiciously. Something seemed a bit forced in
|
|||
|
|
558 the stranger's manner.
|
|||
|
|
559 "I'm Gildor the Green, and this is Mel, my fire-lizard. We've
|
|||
|
|
560 come on a rather long walk to find someone, and we were wondering if
|
|||
|
|
561 you might be of help."
|
|||
|
|
562 The mage merely raised an eyebrow.
|
|||
|
|
563 The table had cleared a little and there was little chance of
|
|||
|
|
564 being over heard. Gildor set Mel on the table and went on. "We have
|
|||
|
|
565 a small quest before us, and were told to find a friend of the
|
|||
|
|
566 Doctor's. A mage known as Milchar, possibly accompanied by a small
|
|||
|
|
567 apprentice. We were informed that this mage was well versed in the
|
|||
|
|
568 arts and would possibly be of service. If we could find him, that is.
|
|||
|
|
569 I believe I'm correct in assuming that you are the mage known as
|
|||
|
|
570 Milchar?"
|
|||
|
|
571 Milchar nodded, and took another bite of bratwurst.
|
|||
|
|
572 "Would you be interested in a possibly short and probably
|
|||
|
|
573 profitable journey?"
|
|||
|
|
574 "How short and how profitable?"
|
|||
|
|
575 Milchar seemed interested, but Gildor still wasn't sure.
|
|||
|
|
576 Obviously just returning from some adventure, perhaps the mage would
|
|||
|
|
577 be too fatigued for what was in store. Jaqew seemed certain, though,
|
|||
|
|
578 so Gildor blundered on.
|
|||
|
|
579 "Are you familiar with the Shield of Palidore and the Dungeons of
|
|||
|
|
580 Mariha?"
|
|||
|
|
581 The mage called Milchar almost choked on his ale in surprise.
|
|||
|
|
582 "I thought you might be."

608 Noted industrialist Hammond Armour glanced with irritation at the stack of
|
|||
|
|
609 papers demanding his signature or his condemnation. Nothing likely today
|
|||
|
|
610 to be overly profitable, creative, or benevolent. He was a strange kind of
|
|||
|
|
611 capitalist. His juices flowed best when both money and good works were
|
|||
|
|
612 involoved--and he saw no need for these interests to be conficting. But
|
|||
|
|
613 paperwork! There was no good about it. Wilma Banks strode in. She was

614 tall & athletic & looked like she could vault the desk."Here.Personal.From Albania."
