*global<nox> Hello, does anyone know what the "Erleuchtet" is?

[COLOR=green]***<crimson-drake> has joined the #Subversive network.

*global<nox> I have been having weird yet vivid dreams of crushed machinery and blue static.

*global<nox> I have no idea what these dreams are, but i wake up with an image of a metal plate with the letters "Erleuchtet" inprinted on them.
[/COLOR]

*global<nox> ...Anyone?

*global<red-queen> The answer to your question lies in the answer to another question.

*global<nox> What question?

***<red-queen> has left the #Subversive network.

uhhh, Captain, URGENT

i was doing some routine check ups in the engine spaces, and in the upper level propulsion room, i found some tools lying under a pile of nuts and bolts, and then i looked to see part of the aft propulsion system lying on the ground. I have no idea who/why/when/how this happened, but it looks like either the last crew aboard forgot to put it back together...OR...there is someone trying to sabatoge our next mission. I have replaced the part, and system checks are SAT, but...ill let you decide what happened,

navykidd out

Navykidd: Thank you for your observation, and for fixing the problem before telling me about it. I would like to see the tools, and the aft propulsion system as well, just to see if anything else was damaged as well...We all know the EMP is housed just above the propulsion housing...We would be screwed if that was not working when we needed it the most...Have Crash help you out, run some more diagnostics. I dont want to leave until this is fixed. I would have left today, however, our departure seems to have been delayed for the time being. I also want to make sure that nothing like this happens again, so the entire crew, for now, will vacate the Erleuchtet, and only with myself or Omega will anyone be allowed back on the ship. Navykidd, i give you lead on making sure everything is working properly, so choose whom you will and you will also be given the codes to the ship, however, only those you choose to help will be allowed on while you are working, and i must know whom you choose before you begin. Again, this mission is temporarily delayed until we find out what was behind this. I will give forewarning of when we set off, but only by 3 hours, so be ready. Captain out.

Navykid, captain> That was me. The electromagnetic field-generators has been acting up since our last run-in with the Sentinels. There’s something wrong with the gyroscopic calibrators… I’ve been trying to fix it but I’m not a mechanic.
And Navykid. THAT there is not a tool, that’s my hairbrush. I wondered where that went!

HAHA...ok, everyone, nevermind...Omega...i cant stop laughing...here we were, thinking the worst, and it was only you and your hairbrush...well, next time you decide to take on the ship all by yourself, tell us first...

Thanks Omega, I havent had my requalification on tools lately, so it was troubling me to figure out what that tool was. Well, next time u want to tinker with my tots, let me know, two heads are better than one. Sorry Captain, just trying to make sure you knew all that was going on in my world. navykidd out.

navykidd> dont worry about it...it was a mistake any normal guy could make, just dont let it happen again...Oh, and, uh, one more thing...try and keep your tools locked up in the storage facility assigned to you, i dont want this to happen again...

Attention Captain Jedi.

I'm going to be away from the boards for about 3 weeks(got to take care of some personal things).

I dont want to hold up the storyline so as of today i'm stepping down as the Programmer for the Erleuchtet.

Guys have fun and i'll see you all in 3 weeks 🙂

Noted, and we will see you in approximately three weeks. Have fun, and be safe. We need our virtual pimp, but i guess we can go without for a while...just joking. Have fun, stay safe, and we will see you in a few. Bye. Captain Out.

Oh, and uh, your not stepping down, you're taking leave. You will still have your position when you return.

I'm glad I will still have my position. 😄

Captain, just wishing to inform you that I am ready to take up the slack in urot's absence.

As you know captain, I used to program at my last command. If need be, I can fall back from wingman position and take up urot's duty in his absence.

If this is what you decide captain, then I would like to reccomend for us to have someone else at my side to help with the work load.

If it pleases the captain I can train this individual to be able to perform full time at a latter date. This would provide us with an extra programmer when urot returns, and give us a replacement should anything happen.

In either case, I am standing by for your orders captain.

Priest, out

Vannesa,
I hope that you'll never have to read this entry. Because if you do, it's probably because I am gone.

We'll soon be off on another mission. I know how dangerous these things can be, but somehow I have to do them. I have to take part in getting people out of there. Out of the Matrix. I don't see how I can sit here in Zion, happy, content, comfortable, and not be doing anything to rescue those other poor souls still trapped inside.

But then I think about the other side of things. Am I really "rescuing" them. I know I feel like I am, but we've seen that time and time again. Some people either lose it, can't accept things, or even worse, they turn on you. We've all heard about Cypher and what happened on the Neb. I don't want that to happen to you... I can't bear the thought of leaving you, or being taken from you. And so I am torn. I am constantly torn inside as to whether I should stay, or to walk back into the Matrix, hoping that I can come back alive.

And do you know the only reason I Can make the decision to go back in? You. Because of how much I love you. I know that you are the greatest thing in this world to me. And I know that if you were in there, I would do anything to get you out. To let you be free. And that thought alone is what drives me to continue. That thought alone is what helps me to make that choice...

I love you Vannessa. You've given me so much. And now, I have to give something back. I have to try once again to make a difference in this war... But privately, I hope only to make a difference in another man's life. I hope I can free his Vannessa. Or maybe I will free another Vannessa's Priest. Just as long as I can help Love to survive. For if we have lost that, if we have lost love, then we are truly lost forever.

I hope you can understand this, and I hope you can forgive me for going back in. I Love you Vannessa. You are my wife, my life, and my joy. Thank you for loving me.

Simply,
your Priest
