23 Gaius was sweating. The problem, he thought, is that you can't count on the kind of help you get in this business.
|
|
24 Where, he wondered, are all the HONEST, HARDWORKNING thugs and degenerates?
|
|
25 He was seated at the console of his IBM, or Insect Battle Machine, attempting to coordinate the formic assault on
|
|
26 the Inn. Ants followed directions well, but they were very literal-minded and he was finding it a challenge to
|
|
27 Give them the right instructions that would make their attack on the Inn a success. I shouldn't be doing this, he
|
|
28 thought, this's that Bullyboy's job. He was TRAINED for it. I'm an Executive. I worry about the Big Picture. Why
|
|
29 is a man in my position subjected to this kind of humiliation, while Bullyboy gets to lounge around in some
|
|
30 distant universe. And he'll just be back when all the WORK's done with some cock-and-bull excuse. I shouldn't be
|
|
31 here. And I most certainly shouldn't have had to put the sugar in that Frenchman's gas tank myself. If anyone from
|
|
32 the Arch-Villian's club had seen me dressed as a GREASE MONKEY, I'd never live it down. Now to finish off the Inn
|
|
33 once and for all. The warped genius turned his full attention back to the IBM as he finalized the directions for
|
|
34 the the marauding ants.

36 Billy-Bob Bullyboy had had pleasanter vacations. This place seemed to go on forever, dark and smelly. This place
|
|
37 smells like Ma's old pipe, he mused, but Ma wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this...
|
|
38 And he continued walking, toward the invisible horizon.

50 The pipes tuned and in full swing, the piper felt the path that he was on
|
|
51 turning and changing around him. He had the sensation of standing on the brow
|
|
52 of a !!VERY!! steep hill. Using the music to hold his position, he moved
|
|
53 laterally off the path and found himself walking down an exit ramp from a large
|
|
54 freeway through a desolate countryside. "Oh fine!" he thought. "This is
|
|
55 no place to try to hitchike and try to remain healthy."
|
|
56 Segueing into a march (the Dundee Millatary Tatto) he wove a coccoon of sund
|
|
57 around himself and walked forward in search of the ones he followed. It was
|
|
58 early in the morning here, he noticed just as he came upon a little group
|
|
59 surrounding one of those four-wheeled artifacts that he had last encountered
|
|
60 before the trip up the Ka-lumbee-a. They seemed a trifle upset, bristling
|
|
61 with weapons. There was Bard, Voyeur, The Man Sans Parity, another person
|
|
62 that he did not recognize and a large canoform creature that he eyed with
|
|
63 suspicion. Coming closer to the group he let the song die, then took down
|
|
64 his pipes from his shoulder. "Hi, guys. What brings you to this desolate
|
|
65 corner of one of the most entropy-ridden realities I can remember seeing?

115 Space is Dark (words & music: Bill Roper)
|
|
116 Chorus: Space is dark and space is deep,
|
|
117 And the price we've paid is far too steep.
|
|
118 Though we've gained a hero's name,
|
|
119 We're all cripples just the same,
|
|
120 And the scars we bear will testify
|
|
121 To the pain we've found beyond the sky.
|
|
122 We set out in our starship in twenty-forty-nine,
|
|
123 Sent to ply the galaxy, another earth to find.
|
|
124 They put us in our coffins and gently closed the lid.
|
|
125 And if I'd known then what I know now, I'd've wished we'd wake up dead.
|
|
126
|
|
127 And so we flew a thousand years through interstellar space.
|
|
128 Light years seperated us from the human race.
|
|
129 Then at last we slowed as we approached our target star,
|
|
130 And now we'd find the reason that we'd travelled so far.
|
|
131 CHORUS
|
|
132 As we awoke from frozen sleep, we each knew what to do.
|
|
133 We'd scan the sky about the star for a planet shining blue.
|
|
134 We'd pull into an orbit, and check her atmosphere,
|
|
135 And run a half a hundred tests to see if she proved fair.
|
|
136
|
|
137 We'd monitor the radio so that we could see
|
|
138 If there were any aliens who'd come here before we.
|
|
139 Then from our receiver a tiny voice we heard,
|
|
140 And it spoke to us in English and we understood each word.
|
|
141 CHORUS
|
|
142 Ten years we had been on our way when they found the hyperdrive,
|
|
143 And man spread to a thousand stars while we were half alive.
|
|
144 But still they could not stop our ship to save us from our fate.
|
|
145 And so we have arrived here but nine hundred years too late.
|
|
146
|
|
147 They told us we were heroes, pinned medals on our chests,
|
|
148 And they gave us a fine pension and sent us off to rest.
|
|
149 For we're anachronisms from another place and time,
|
|
150 And so they have retired us though we're all still in our prime.CHORUS
|
|
151 And of the ten men in our crew, but two of us remain,
|
|
152 For trapped here in the future, we all have gone insane.
|
|
153 We knew when we set out that we'd be gone a thousand years,
|
|
154 But we never thought we'd end up as unwanted pensioneers.
|
|
155
|
|
156 And soon we two will follow where the other eight have gone,
|
|
157 And then our long sad journey will finally be done.
|
|
158 In the next room waiting is my time-lost lonely wife,
|
|
159 And I'll see her one last time as we take each other's life.

222 Morby rested behind the rocks catching to catch his breath. He eventually
|
|
223 peeked his head over the rocks to take a look at the carnage below. He could
|
|
224 see many of the ants veering off through the forrest, and the rest making
|
|
225 pests of themselves. Morby then turned to Pheric.
|
|
226 " My trusty old sword....damn. Well is this how one uses an axe? "
|
|
227 He through the axe square into the head of an approaching ant. Pheric
|
|
228 motioned to him that the was not exactly how the axe should have been used.
|
|
229 " Oh dear, it is a hand axe. Should have told me that. Well, I better go
|
|
230 get it then. "
|
|
231 Morby bounced over the rocks and ran to the body of the ant, and pulled the
|
|
232 axe.
|
|
233 " Thank you! I shall return it to you when I'm finished. I must go help
|
|
234 Dawg ", he yelled.
|
|
235 With that, he ran towards the crowd of ants, axe in hand, saying " Backstab,
|
|
236 backstab!"
|
|
237 " He is a silly chap ", said Pheric to nobody in particular.

255 PIERCE THE OUTER LAYER OF SKIN OF ONE OF THE LARGER ANTS. AFTER THE ANT DROPS

285 so i'm afraid I will be unable to attend it.the reason I asked about it is that a friend of mine gave me one of

286 there newsletters which had the beginings of a story in it,it is this that I have used for the start of my story.
|

287 plagerism probably,but what you people are doing to zelanzy is too! is this the book that has the chapters numbered 1,2,1,2,1,

307 pheric leaps over the rocks and follows morby into the fray. he motions to the warrior to come along,he fires an arrow into

308 e throat(?) of the nearest ant.he stops breifly to pull out another weapon from his pouch,"ah.... lets see herer

309 this should be effective"he says as he pulls out a large bardiche. he closes his pouch and continous t follow morby.....

311 Whisper is in her element slipping through the shadows and sneaking up behind
|
|
312 the attacking ants. One blow from behind is usually enough to take out any
|
|
313 particular ant, and she is avoididng groups as much as possible. Finally
|
|
314 tired of flicking that heavy mace around, she slips it into her belt and
|
|
315 draws on a pair of heavy gauntlets. This will be more fun anyway she thinks
|
|
316 as she slips up behind the next ant grasping firmly with both hands around
|
|
317 its middle rips it in two. Just them an arrow zips by her head burying itself
|
|
318 firmly in the ant she had just killed. Hey watch where your shooting those
|
|
319 things she snarls at one her friends from the inn. Apprentice, why don't
|
|
320 you put a star spell are something, so that we can see what's going on a
|
|
321 little better. Besides it should make plenty of shadows and you know how
|
|
322 effective that will make me.

346 HAVING SLEPT MOST OF THE WAY FROM REALITY 76 TO PONI EXPRESS GASAHOL
|
|
347 AND THE GHOST CITY, HE WAS RESTLESS AND NOT VERY TIRED AS THEY ALL SETTLED DOWN FOR THE NIGHT.
|
|
348 HE TOOK A SHORT NAP WHILE SNOWRUNNER NOSED AROUND OUTSIDE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE TO CHASE.
|
|
349 AS SOON AS THE OTHERS WERE ASLEEP HE QUITLY SLIPED OUT INTO THE NIGHT. WHILE MOST OF THE CLOSE-BY BUILDINGS SEEMED PROPERLY
|
|
350 DARK AND DESERTED, OFF IN THE DISTANCED MANY WERE MYSTERIOSLY LIGHTED.
|
|
351 WHOLE FLOORS, THE WINDOWS ALL HAD LIGHT IN THEM.
|
|
352 WITH SNOWRUNNER BY HIS SIDE HE WANDERED AIMLESSLY. NO MORE THAN FIVE STREETS AWAY FROM WARE HIS COMPANIONS SLEEPT WAS A
|
|
353 BUILDING, PARTIALY LIGHTED. HE NOTICED THAT IF HE WALKED DIRECTLY TOWARD IT, ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AND IT WOULD APPEAR
|
|
354 JUST AS EMPTY AND DESERTED AS IT HAD DURING THE DAY. REALIZING THIS HE WORKED HIS WAY CLOSER BY INDERECTLY CIRCLING IT. WHEN
|
|
355 HE WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME STREET FROM IT AND SAFELY HIDDEN IN SHADOWES, HE CAUTIOSLY TURNED TOWARD IT AND WATCHED.
|
|
356 IN A WINDOW ON THE SECOND FLOOR HE COULD SEE A VERY ATTRACTIVE YOUNG HUMAN FEMALE GETTING UNDRESSED AND READY FOR BED. SHE
|
|
357 LEFT THE CURTAINS OPEN WITH APPEARENT UNCONCERN.
|
|
358 HE WAITED UNTIL SHE HAD TURNED AWAY AND THEN QUICKLY CROSSED THE STREET AND RUSHED THE DOORWAY AND FIRST FLIGHT OF STEPS.
|
|
359 THE HALL LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE PLACE HAD A VERY LIVED-IN IF SOMEWHAT RUNDOWN APPEARANCE.
|
|
360 CAUTIOSLY HE APPROACHED THE DOOR HE JUDGED TO OPEN ON THE ROOM HE HAD OBSERVED FROM BELLOW. SO FAR EVERYTHING SEEMED OK.
|
|
361 BY THE TIME HE FIGGURED OUT THE LATCH MECHANISM OF THE DOOR HOWEVER (YOU TURN A KNOB!), THE LIGHTS HAD EXTINGUISHED AND
|
|
362 SNOWRUNNER NEARLY FELL THROUGH A HOLE IN THE DRY ROTTED FLOORBOARDS OF THE LANDING. EVERYWARE THERE WERE SCORCH MARCKS ON
|
|
363 WALLS AND CEALING. DREAMTOUCHER HAD 'BARROWED' ONE OF THE LIGHTS FROM THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR THING AND TRIED TURNING IT ON
|
|
364 THE WAY HE HAD SEEN THE OTHERS DO. IN THE ROOM WHICH HAD SEEMED OCCUPIED FROM THE STREET THARE WAS NO OCCUPANT. HE WALLS
|
|
365 HOWEVER WERE COMPLETLY CARBONIZED AS IF A GREAT FIRE HAD ONCE FILLED THE ROOM AT SOME PAST TIME.
|
|
366 THE TATTERED REMAINS OF A CURTAIN BLEW IN THE BREASE COMMING THROUGH OPEN AND GLASSLESS WINDOW.
|
|
367 IN THE ROOM WAS ONLY AN IRON BEDSPRING WITH A LAYER OF MOLD ON TOP THAT MAY ONCE HAVE BEEN A MATTERESS. IN ONE CORNER STOOD
|
|
368
|
|
369 A WOODEN DRESSER AND IN THE TOP DRAWER OF THIS HE FOUND A FADDED PICTURE OF THE FEMALE HE HAD SEEN AND A MALE HUMAN WHO LOOKED
|
|
370
|
|
371 AS MUCH LIKE HIMSELF AS WAS POSSIBLE WITHOUT POINTED EARS AND FOUR FINGERED HANDS. HE TOUCHED THE CURTAIN'S REMAINS TO PULL
|
|
372 IT CLOSED. IT CRUMBLED IN HIS FINGERS.
|
|
373 IN A THOUGHTFUL MOOD HE RETURNED TO THE CAMP TO NAP AGAIN UNTIL DAWN.
|
|
374 WHEN HE AND THE OTHERS LATER AWOKE TO THE SUN OF A NEW DAY, A PAINFULL, ODDLY MUSICAL SOUND COULD BE HEARD THOUGH ITS SOURCE
|
|
375
|
|
376 REMAINED UNKNOWN TO HIM FOR A TIME. THE OTHERS THOUGH SEEMED TO RECOGNIZE IT, FOR THAIR FACES WORE LOOKS OF RELEAF AND

400 nothing new,he thought,when will something interesting attack? "ah,a micro-bolo mark 2.at least somebody I know is here!"

|
|
454 All,
|
|
455 Recently I had the misfortune of playing a game of " RISK "...
|
|
456 I had up until then felt that I was cured of that bedeviled disease ...Hovever
|
|
457 I find that I was only in remission , and the neurosis still as virulent
|
|
458 as it had been when I had learned the game years ago...Which brings me to the
|
|
459 point. Are there others who suffer this same malaise for which there
|
|
460 is no cure ? ( Barring global domination -which is only temporary- )
|
|
461 If so may I say you are not alone ...and further suggest a game ?
|
|
462 ( for the benefit of those so afflicted )
|
|
463 Unfortunatly this electronic medium precludes the bombastic nature
|
|
464 of the game, gone are the subtle temporary alliances, overt strategic threats
|
|
465 and covert diplomatic understandings. In essence the game would lack
|
|
466 the social interaction that I find so addictive.
|
|
467 So .... If there other like minded closet generals may I suggest a
|
|
468 small pub on the southwest side that offers 33 fine ales on tap in a
|
|
469 low keyed atmosphere not unlike the Inn we so often frequent. At a time
|
|
470 yet to be determined ...........
|
|
471 Any and all comments ,suggestions, criticisms - etc. are welcomed

|

476 1.999999+e38 I share the disease.two problems though,I do not play with normal
|
|
477 rules.I have been playing for 2 years with another person in the dead of night
|
|
478 every friday night and we have mutated the rules somewhat!
|
|
479 problem2)I am just slightly under age,I can get into PC&S fine,and people tell
|
|
480 me I look old enough,but palying places may have to change if I get booted(small
|
|
481 chance,currently 18%)
|
|
482 Piper:have you ever listened to led zepplins "stairway to heaven"?
|
|
483 two lyrics cought my ears,"and the PIPER is calling us to join him" and

499 THE OTHERS INTRODUCED HIM AS THE PIPER AND IT TOOK DREAMTOUCHER SOME

500 DOOING TO CONVINCE SNOWRUNNER THAT HE WAS A FRIEND. IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT THE

501 HIGHPITCHED SOUNDS, SOO PAINFUL TO CANID EARS, WAS HOW HE GOT AROUND. HE SEEMED

502 A FRIENDLY SORT AT ANY RATE AND OFFERED TO PREPAIR SOMETHING TO EAT. THAT WAS

523 and yelling about someone ruining its contents, the lazy one, who had not

524 been, up till then at any rate, disturbed by all the excitement outside
|
|
525 immediately vanished his book, put down his glass, and set his feet to floor.
|
|
526 (God what a sentence!) Not the cellars, he roared! That is too much, let me
|

527 at them. Rushing down the stairs after the apprentice and the others he

528 was horrified to see the damage that had allready been done. No, he moaned,
|
|
529 well that is enough. He raised his hands and bolts of a pecuilar green fire
|

530 shot from them towards the mass of ants filling the cellar. Each one striking

531 an ant and ageing it instantly until it disolved into dust.

572 Oh damn...I thought I was still out in the field,trying to learn how to use
|
|
573 a handaxe? Well, so much for continuity. And why is everyone saying that
|
|
574 they're following me? That puts me in front!

576 Things had not been going well for Morby after his initial good throw. He
|
|
577 had been unable to find Dawg, and he was really being kicked around by the
|
|
578 ants. Suddenly a distressingly large unarmed ant relieved it's tensions
|
|
579 By tossing The Ninja through the front window of the Inn, much to his dismay
|
|
580 With as much dignity as he could muster, he got up and looked around at
|
|
581 one of the members of the group running downstairs, saying something about
|
|
582 Cardinal Rickyloo and alcohol.
|
|
583 "Tally ho(e)! ", Morby cried as he chased after him.
|
|
584 Seeing the ants crowded in small combat spaces stopped Morby in his tracks.
|
|
585 Never being a great fighter anyway, he prefered to live of his intelligence,
|
|
586 charm,wit and others peoples charity and pity. Morby just motioned the others
|
|
587 after him to go down first. Luck and good friends being what they are,
|
|
588 Pheric and the others grabed him by the arms and legs and on the count of
|
|
589 three, tossed him into the fray.
|
|
590 " I like my friends..."

598 STARTING TO GET VERY ANGRY AT THE
|
|
599 MULTITUDE OF ANTS ATTACKING THE PEOPLE AROUND THEMSELVES, THE WARRIOR SHIETHES
|
|
600 HIS SWORD AND SAYS "POWERS OF FIGHTING...STRIKE WITH LIGHTNING!!!" AND THUS,
|
|
601 A BURST OF 11 LIGHTNING BOLTS STRUCK THE
|
|
602 ENTIRE MASS OF ANTS AND GAVE THEM QUITE A SHOCK!!! STUNN
|
|
ED FOR A FEW MINUTES...
|
|
603 THE POPULATION OF ANTS AMAZINGLY DECREASED IN NUMBER AND THEN STARTED FIGHTING
|
|
604 AGAIN. THEN THE WARRIOR STARTED FLYING OVER THE MASS AND JUST HACKED AT WHATEVER
|
|
605 ANT HE COULD REACH WITH HIS SWORD. MAKING HIS WAY OVER TO LORD MORBY, HE HACKS
|
|
606 AND LANDS NEXT TO HIM PREPARED TO FIGHT AGAIN.

608 pheric,by morby, the warrior, and others he was notable to get a good glimpse
|
|
609 at formed a small wedge of experienced, angry men attacking large ants in an
|
|
610 attaemp to save the beloved inn.now that the ants were severely decimated
|
|
611 the fighting ants became less and an occasional worker ant would attempt to
|
|
612 block them off, but they were easily cut down.
|
|
613 since the remaining warrior ants had instincts that would not allow them to
|
|
614 retreat(or surrender) the men were forced to kill all.the only way they could
|
|
615 survive was to make their way to the queen ant afte they delt with the remaining
|
|
616 fighters here.there would probably more warrir ants in the nests but would not
|
|
617 attack because they had to guard the nest.pheric estimated that there were
|
|
618 about 30 warrior ants left..........
