|

22 The Innkeeper looked around and saw the Inn filled with old friends
|
||
23 and smiled. It was just like old times. A crackling fire roaring in
|
||
24 the fireplace, a joyous banter and telling of tales and adventures
|
||
25 echoed thru the Inn. The ever present Piper delighting a group of
|
||
26 listeners with a new tale. Drawing even the fair Lady of Dragons out
|
||
27 of the shadows to listen to his tale and respond with a beautiful
|
||
28 telling of her own. Ahh, and what a very marvelous telling it is!
|
||
29 And sitting at her accustomed table in a protected corner of the
|
||
30 Inn, Pam speaks in twisted words and riddles talking in circles of
|
||
31 redundencies and old tired phrases to those who would listen.
|
||
32 Excusing those who won't. Working hard to tell a tale in need of
|
||
33 telling, yet finding as great a difficulty in the telling as those
|
||
34 who listen. Yet as she continues, the improvement is noticable even
|
||
35 to the most inate listener. And she does attract her share of
|
||
36 listeners. The Innkeeper smiles at this setting. Yes, it seems like
|
||
37 old times, and he happily sits back to listen to the tales spew
|
||
38 forth again. Perhaps even relaxing a bit and take a drink of his own.

45 Person did as bid, noting carefully it's preasent form. Though forewarned,

46 the reality storm that broiled up as person made contect with object was completely

47 disorientating!
|

48 Minuets which seamed like eternities screamed by in slow motion. Bit by bit,

49 with painful effort, person concentrated upon object itself. person closed eyes
|

50 and visualized object as a flat, pocket sized box with one control. with fearful
|

51 uncertainty, person opened eyes. object remained as envissioned. keeping attention
|

52 on object, person waited as the reality storm abbaited.

53 What befell person in that reality is a story which may be told at some future

55 person once again activated Object. This time the visualization was of a simple

|

57 person found self by a roan tree near what appeared to be a mideval (whatever that
|

58 means) inn. Picking up an odd peace of parchment lying on the ground, person
|

59 unexpectedly found self inside.

62 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
||
63 The piper's eyes were dazzled by the flame that flickered from the candle.
|
||
64 Stepping over the mouse-rustled hay lying on the stable floor, he moved towards
|
||
65 the peagasus' soft whicker. The odor of its animal occupants lay heavy in the
|
||
66 stable air warming the stable like a comfortable old blanket. The piper stepped
|
||
67 up to the peagsus and stroked the long line of her jaw with a gentle caress.
|
||
68 As the pegasus replied with a quick shake of her head, the rustling of her
|
||
69 pinions nearly obscured the soft rustle behind the piper. There was no
|
||
70 mistaking the cool breath of night air that tugged at the exposed knees left
|
||
71 bare between the piper's kilt and the tops of his hose. Shielding the candle
|
||
72 flame, he turned to see who or what had come into the stable behind him.
|
||
73 As the piper turned, his eyes, finally accustomed to the candle-lit shadows of
|
||
74 the stable, fell upon the pegasus' neighbor. Stopping short his turn, he
|
||
75 froze in place watching the dragon's movements.
|
||
76 Some moments are endless. During most persons' lives such a moment seldom
|
||
77 occurrs -- seconds stretch out into minutes, hours, days, years and eons.
|
||
78 Time itself, the unreeling of the fabric of what is, off the loom of destiny
|
||
79 slows to a crawl; and the circumstances leading to the present state take on
|
||
80 a new dimension of meaning.
|
||
81 So it seemed to the piper in those endless moments while the dragon's head
|
||
82 approached him. He had ample time to appreciate the beauty of the dragon's
|
||
83 integument, fascinated by the play of light off the fine-cut scales that lay
|
||
84 in ordered rows like gemstones in a fantastic jewel-garden along her lines
|
||
85 and contours. The bolt of adrenaline that had shot through his veins like
|
||
86 lightning had tightened his muscles to a painful state. Normally one of the
|
||
87 most peaceful of men, he had been startled by an unexpected encounter into a
|
||
88 highly dangerous state -- galvanized by the "fight or flee" reflex into a
|
||
89 state where he could exert hysterical strength. In the manner of a
|
||
90 she-tiger protecting her young, the piper interposed his body between the
|
||
91 pegasus and the dragon, obviously intending to protect the pegasus with his
|
||
92 life if necessary.
|
||
93 Rational though is farther from us than we would really like to believe.
|
||
94 Although we attempt to work our way through life thinking with our heads, and
|
||
95 ignoring the demands and contributions of the body, we are a single organism,
|
||
96 and respond as such. In danger or stress, we react as we have trained our
|
||
97 bodies to react. The piper had been trained in a hard school -- the unexpected
|
||
98 more often than not represented danger. It was a long moment after the
|
||
99 dragon's tentative motion of greeting that the piper noticed the glow of
|
||
100 intellegence in the dragon's eyes and the hesitance with which her head came
|
||
101 forth. Realization that the dragon had ample time, had it intended to cause
|
||
102 harm to the pegasus, softened the piper's taughtend body, and he laughed the
|
||
103 soft laugh of relief that rises unbidden to our lips in those circumstances.
|
||
104 He reached out his hand in greeting to the dragon, tentative to match her
|
||
105 hesitation, the slight draught that had caused him to turn forgotten.

131 The house is hushed, expectant,

132 then rosined bows slide in time,

133 up, down, up

134 across straining strings,

135 dipping like frightened nestlings

136 at the shadow of the hawk.

137 Small in her spotlight

138 the principal stands,

139 violin at the ready and

140 bow in her hand nervously wagging,

141 admonishing:
|

142 "No, not quite yet;
|

143 no, no, not quite yet,"
|

144 as her moment of glory approaches.
|
||
145 Bow touches string, and
|
||
146 her solo begins:
|
||
147 she coaxes recalcitrant notes
|
||
148 from the strings,
|
||
149 primly seducing the tune
|
||
150 from her balky instrument.
|
||
151 She is mostly successful.
|
||
152 The orchestra eddies
|
||
153 and swirls about her;
|
||
154 at first she is determined
|
||
155 and stands her ground,
|
||
156 her note high and thin
|
||
157 above the others,
|

158 but the current grows

159 stronger and sweeps her

160 into its stream, there to

|

189 Ian, I know how fond you are of Ada, and how long she has been your
|
||
190 secretary, but I really think it's time you put her out to pasture.
|
||
191 Her efficiency is deteriorating, and an agency like ours cannot afford mistakes,
|
||
192 especially in a position at least as powerful as yours (since we all know
|
||
193 that it is really the secretaries that run the companies).
|
||
194 Her latest mistake was assigning me The Messenger as contact point. Apparently
|
||
195 the poor dear can no longer read the telephone book, as it clearly shows that
|
||
196 639 numbers are long distance from my center of operations. (by the way -
|
||
197 it describes 639 as Tigard, not Lake Oswego, a possible source of the confusion,
|
||
198 as Lake Oswego IS a local call for me). In any case, an alternate secure
|
||
199 channel is now required.
|
||

203 L'homme: Yes, despite my not knowing Tri-Mess bus routes well at all (no need to, really; you know how often I can
|
||
204 get into Portland), after a few moments of studying the maps and timetables at the stop I caught the right bus back to
|
||
205 familiar territory. Transport the rest of the way was provided by The Doctor.
|
||
206 Your tour was most informative; I thank you. The only thing I lament is not seening Chuck at RHC. Oh, well.
|
||
207 By the way, as I was walking towards my intended destination from the bus stop, one of those Thrike agents had the
|
||
208 nerve to attempt to follow. In a clear attempt to garner information, he struck up a conversation. Applying reverse-
|
||
209 reverse-reverse-reverse-reverse (ad nauseum) psychology, I carefully leaked out information that wouldn't help his
|
||
210 grandmother, let alone Thrike. It will be interesting to find out what happens to the information. The Thrike agent,
|
||
211 apparently satisfied, used the pretense that he was late for a bus, then left.

222 Ada looked up Lake Oswego. She also mentioned that the only phone book
|
||
223 available at the time was a 1981(!) book.
|
||
224 Isn't it a pity that the Phone companies & the Post Office (and
|
||
225 the legal boundaries) all disagree?
|
||
226 The "easy" solution would be to see if the owner could be
|
||
227 persuaded to get his number changed. Since they seem to be the "same"
|
||
228 office (63x), I am rather puzzled as to why it makes a difference in
|
||
229 the first place! (on checking the list of 63x #s I see that it is some
|
||
230 sort of "generic outlying area" prefix #%$^&).
|
||
231 One last thought. Just to satisfy my curiosity, how much IS the
|
||
232 charge for calling from your number?

246 It's amazing when you sense growth in another. Perhaps, even before

|

262 Did you notice how Ada passed off her mistakes regarding the phone
|
||
263 book problem. This is very unlike the top aid in NET organizational oper-
|
||
264 ations. This can only reflect on our 'leader.' In the past few months, I
|
||
265 and other agents whom I have been in contact with have noticed a rather
|
||
266 distressing change of philosophical direction. I am unaware of the causes of
|
||
267 this change, but the effects remain. I propose, as soon as I am able to, we
|
||
268 meet, and discuss certain 'plans' of action. Until that time, I would advise
|
||
269 communicating only through top-level COMSET code, ie. the code given to you
|
||
270 when last we met, but not transmitted to NET HQ decoders.

274 KOSTA:It sounds like perhaps you could have used a ride anyway. I took the long, twisty route home myself, after
|
||
275 dropping Gaudy off. It usually doesn't take me nearly 90 minutes to get home from downtown, but Friday night it did.
|
||
276 Don't worry too much about second guy problems. As you can see, there was no reason to worry too much.

|

279 Farley: Glad you made it home OK. What's this about Thrike being in the area? If I had known they were so close to
|
||
280 the 'building', I would have security doubled immediately. As for the tour, with a high visibility complex located
|
||
281 so close, you can be sure the campus will be safe from attack. No one would be so foolish.
|
||
282 Mikey:Bad news again. I couldn't load those adventures onto the IBM. I think they were tokenized Sanyo BASIC, and
|
||
283 I take it that is not compatible with IBM BASICA. Start over again? Copylink is working fine.
|
||
284 Gaudy M.: Looks like certain assist. coaches will be in rather low spirits. I hope YOU are not adversly affected by
|
||
285 such actions. Don't let it fool you for a second. Fight it I say! Fight it! Heh Heh. Looking forward to meeting all
|
||
286 those jung living people next Friday!
|
||
287 ASP: Pleasure meeting you too. I had seen you around many times at PorSFiS, but I never associated the name with the

288 face. You are one of the people Mr. Grice will probably be bringing along to the demo at the BESC, whenever that

306 can never tell when to turn off the sence of humor. "You know, I was just
|
||
307 thinking. You must think that this all looks rather foolish, all of us just
|
||
308 sitting here on the floor. I mean honestly, grown men acting like a bunch..."
|
||
309 Fellows was cut short by a poke in the ribs from L'homme.
|
||
310 "Try to keep the chatter down will you?" he said as he then crawled over to
|
||
311 one of the smaller windows looking out the side of the cabin. "From my short
|
||
312 glimplses I can't see any of the other agents that were accompanying Fleming.
|
||
313 Of course they could be in reduced numbers now that they may believe the cabin
|
||
314 to be deserted. But we can't be sure, he may have ordered a detachment to
|
||
315 stay behind to clean up after he left." At this Fellows just nodded.
|
||
316 "How long do you think we should stay inside then? For about another three
|
||
317 hours or so?" asked Farley in anticipation to be back towards a more civilized
|
||
318 environment.
|
||
319 "That would be a safe guess, but I suggest that we stay put until after it
|
||
320 gets dark. We wouldn't exactly be invisible in these dark colored city clothes
|
||
321 we've got on now," added Fellows.
|
||
322 "Good point. Just what I had in mind, although if we wait until after dark,
|
||
323 it may be too cold for us to travel effectively for any length of time. We'll
|
||
324 have to search the cabin for additional resources," noted L'homme.
|
||
325 "But what about that escape tunnel this Kosta or Coolidge or whatever his
|
||
326 name is made mention of? Do you think he really had something like that put
|
||
327 into such a place like this?" asked Farley with a new hope.
|
||
328 "I don't think Kosta - we can just call him that for now - could have had
|
||
329 the time to have done such things. On the OTHER hand, I remember Ian and Ada
|
||
330 discussing the aquisition and improvement of these new pieces of real estate.
|
||
331 Ada was mentioning something about interior decorating and Ian was busy trying
|
||
332 to remind her of the functionality needed for such occasions as these. Boy,
|
||
333 I don't remember him ever getting so steamed up over something so trivial
|
||
334 before." L'homme then rolled over and turned down the power setting on his
|
||
335 weapon before returning it to its holster.
|
||
336 "The place could do with a lick of paint though," said Fellows.
|
||
337 "And a couple af those frilly curtains. Don't you think?" replied Farley.
|
||
338 "Sheesh! You guys... Sometimes...." L'homme was going to put an end to the
|
||
339 horse play, then he remembered how humor aided in survival to help in keeping
|
||
340 one's wits when under stress. #Fellows is doing this for Farley's sake...#
|
||
341 "C'mon guys, it was your idea to look for that tunnel. No time like the
|
||
342 present!" finished L'homme. Now picture three NET agents scurrying around
|
||
343 on the floor like a bunch of puppies. Tis truely a foolish sight, comrades.

445 Minsky was coming out of the cabin, waving a white flag. She was led
|
||
446 down the road for about half a mile when Fleming stopped the party.
|
||
447 "This is far enough." barked Fleming. He gestured at us, "You three go
|
||
448 over and search her."
|
||
449 As we moved up, John started smirking and called back "Should we do a
|
||
450 FULL BODY search, sir?".
|
||
451 At this suggestion Fleming nodded. "Yes! And remember, if she gives you
|
||
452 ANY trouble - even the slightest resistance - shoot to kill!"
|
||
453 Minsky's face had gone white. It took me a second to put it together
|
||
454 with the smirk on John's face. FULL BODY search, I realized that Minsky had
|
||
455 recalled the same thing... the page in the manual seemed to jump at me...
|
||
456 ... due to the risk of hidden weapons on dangerous prisoners, all body
|
||
457 cavities must be probed THOROUGHLY. A wide variety of weapons and contraband can
|
||
458 be concealed in the rectum (and in the vagina). Other bodily orifices should
|
||
459 also...
|
||
460 I snapped back to the present as John spoke again. "Mark, you cover us.
|
||
461 George, you check her clothes. I'll do the rest." He leered at her and said,
|
||
462 "All right, sister, outa them clothes! Now!"
|
||
463 She yelled at Fleming, "What is this! You're going to search me NOW?
|
||
464 And in the damn SNOW!!" She was yelling loud enough to be heard a mile away.
|
||
465 Fleming replied quietly, "Yes, here and now. You've got thirty seconds
|
||
466 and then I'll shoot you. Since you surrendered, maybe I'll only shoot you in

524 THOR sat quietly in his wooden chair near the corner of the INN and looked a
|
||
525 about at the people around him. He had seen many of them before during one of
|
||
526 his visits to the INN and he had learned a few of their names. L'homme, hmmm..
|
||
527 possibly a french name but there was no accent. And KOSTA, surely a slovic basis
|
||
528 but again no accent. THOR saw also the agents of NET and listened quietly as
|
||
529 they talked of their adventures and of their love of right over wrong. He saw
|
||
530 Farley, Gaudy, Fleming, Leonard and
|
||
531 noticed that a few were not here today.
|
||
532 No, there was a few missing. Marci, Tina and Tony, where could they be. THOR
|
||
533 did not fret over their absence for he knew that their void was missed and with
|
||
534 this missing would surely materialize their presence for all to share. THOR did
|
||
535 not speak out to any but only watched as they kept their constant rhubarb of
|
||
536 tales and stories and he was happy to see the overseer, CISTOP MIKEY, over at
|
||
537 the bar keeping a watchful eye out for any who were in need of a guiding word
|
||
538 or friendly gesture. THOR felt warm inside with so many good people here at
|
||
539 the INN and his heart swelled to twice its size when he finally spied the one
|
||
540 called kathyd. Yes, thought THOR to himself, here was one that beauty only
|
||
541 chose to stay in second place behind the radiant personality and charm that
|
||
542 showed themselves in this special one person. Here was one that could melt
|
||
543 a word let alone a look. The trip to the INN was well worth it and now with so
|
||
544 many with so much around him THOR felt he could finally relax and enjoy. It was
|
||
545 not an easy task for such an old gladiator like THOR to do. To relax and enjoy
|
||
546 the company around him and to not have to worry about attack or self
|
||
547 protection. Yes, it is good here at the INN and I am glad that I have made it
|
||
548 here tonight. It was a long road to travel and the route was not easily accessed
|
||
549 ath easier and here I can be happy.

552 "Jack, there is something we have to talk about" Marci spoke softly to Jack
|
||
553 who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom.
|
||
554 "Oh, what's that?" came a muffled answer.
|
||
555 "It has to do with THE END of the line." Marci was in the front room,
|
||
556 looking quite ravishing, her coat was on though and her purse over her
|
||
557 shoulder.
|
||
558 Jack walked from the bathroom, dressed in a blue bathrobe, freshly shaved
|
||
559 and smelling good. He was alarmed to see his girl so fully clothed at this
|
||
560 time of night. "Marci, what's wrong? can't we talk about it?"
|
||
561 Marci spoke softly. "Jack, the story is over, your usefulness has been
|
||
562 outlived, we must go our seperate ways."
|
||
563 Jack was stunned, his fantasies of sailing away with Marci into the
|
||
564 sunset were sinking fast. He tried a last ditch effort. "No I won't leave
|
||
565 you, we have been through to much to give up now!" He grabbed her shoulders
|
||
566 and kissed her passionatly.
|
||
567 Marci broke his hold and stepped back turning, she opened her purse.
|
||
568 Raising a nickle plated handgun she took carefull aim at her lover.
|
||
569 "It's over" she replied as she pulled the trigger.

572 This entry is for the one that backons himself the god of thunder.
|

573 THOR: It seems that thou hast not the ability to differentiate between the
|

574 dimensions of the multiple zones known to us mere mortals as "realities".
|
||
575 Some users of the BackWaters are just that, Users. Nay, I intend that NOT
|
||
576 to be an insult, only a fact. Some are given the title "patron" if the
|
||
577 zone their characters inhabit is that of the fantasy nature, that of INISFAL.
|
||
578 Then there are those that partake in the more cruel zone, as I, that which
|
||
579 likens itself to the modern world. I, KOSTA, have not, nor shall I, endevor
|
||
580 into the likes of the Inn. It is just not to be for I am one that is not
|
||
581 capable of such a venture across the zones. Some are able, I am not.
|
||
582 As to those that are not present: they are present on their on home zones.

591 have taken place shall be continued from where *I* have left off unless

595 Or has my battle waged within Bulgaria forced me into a time where change has

602 Once I finished emptying my flagon, I permitted the lid to shut with its
|
||
603 familiar clink. This usually gave warning to the Innkeeper that I would either
|
||
604 be ready for yet another of his masterpieces of brewing, or that I might even
|
||
605 actually be once again on my meager way- off into the chill of the late night
|
||
606 cold. Ever so slightly I bent my head to seek out a vision of the Innkeeper
|
||
607 standing behind the counter with watchful eyes. He was not to be seen. Then,
|
||
608 as my gaze returned to the object before me, the sight of one so bold caught my
|
||
609 attention. Yes, he did seem to have an aura that attracted many a man's
|
||
610 attention. Although not know to me personaly, his form was of that which could
|
||
611 not be denied. He was an Eternal, he was Thor.
|
||
612 I had decided that to speak with one such as he would be too much for me
