Stardate 30123000...
Our long mission with Greymoran is finally over, but we still have the matter of TerrSec. All crew are accounted for, including the Captain, who had been missing through most of the adventure. 

By PD Insane on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 06:27 am:

What happened to Klassikos not using the letter "c"? 

By Captain Tacoman on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 08:32 am:

Hmm.. I wonder if Greymoran meant "son" in a friendly sense, or was there something more to that?
I must admit, KEY is a lucky man to have a wife like that.
Tacoman and the bridge crew go up to the bridge where Tacoman reviews what has been going on in this dimension and tells of his adventures.
...it was fun, but I'm glad to be back home.
Milkshake, I understand we have a new redshirt?

By Captain Tacoman, settling down with a good book on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 08:34 am:

Computer, display the text of Kim Robinson's book
Red Mars on my screen.
I've meet some of the people, I might as well read about them.
Tacoman begins reading

By PD Insane on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 10:13 am:

Yes, that's a good thing to do. 

By PD Insane on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 10:18 am:

Now to watch some good old 20th Century entertainment.

PD Insane selects "The best of Warner Bros" from a list of entertainments. The screen is then replaced by the familiar red circles, with the WB shield logo zooming up to the camera.

By An animated plot twist on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 10:25 am:

But the Spidership starts to shake. It disappears althogether from space, and not with a warp flash. It reappears in quite a different place, but the only way the valiant crew realise that is because the star charts are suddenly different. Milkshake, currently in command, asks for a reading on the nearest vessel. It turns out to be of similar design to 20th Century rockets, but with some intersting variations. Almost as if terrans had continued to use that style of design into later centuries. The technology level is difficult to determine, and its construction is completely unknown. They hail the ship, and what a surprise when they descover on it... a black duck in a green outift. And when I say duck, I don't mean your common or garden duck. His beak is the wrong shape, and his wings have a more arm-like construction. Behind him is a bipedal pig, in a gray outfit. Yes it's...

Duck Dogerth in the 24th and a half Thentury!

Somehow LICC has entered the Warner Bros Universe in the 24th century!

By Marvin, not an Android, not a talking bomb, but a Martian on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 10:32 am:

Pursuing Duck Dodgers' ship is a yellow runabout ship of similar design. Scrawled on it is Martian Maggot.

He has made me angry. Very angry indeed... Good gravy, what's that?

By Lt PD Insane on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 10:45 am:

Insane comes onto the bridge.

Holy Nail!

He take s the ops station.

Hmm, it seems the dimensional drive has been connected to the entertainment providers... We're going to need some sort of LICC video to get back. I suggest we hang around ehre and see what we can do. It's not often you meet your favourite cartoon characters.

By Newly animated Captain Tacoman on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 10:46 am:

Steve, I would like command back.
Insane, what did you do?
Tacoman looks down at himself and looks around the bridge
Good grief, we've become animated ourselves...

By Lt PD Insnae on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 11:30 am:

Don't look at me. BTW, I liked the way your eyes popped out of your sockets when you saw the situation. 

By Animated Redshirt on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 11:33 am:

Marvin's ship fires on the Spidermobile. A console explodes, and a redshirt is fried. Literally. He gets burnt. He shakes off the effects, and wanders woozily into a turbolift.

I'll take Keith Alan Morgan to block...

By Animated Adon on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 01:20 pm:

This has been an interesting development. Does anyone have an Atomic Discombobulator? I think they're used in this dimension. 

By Quantum Man on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 01:39 pm:

I know the name of this dimension! It's Kartuwin, where objects have but two dimensions, and there is no depth (or death!).

Captain, I am reading a deposit of Eludium Phosdex, the shaving cream atom, over on that planet with the big "X" on it. 

By Quantum Mans Author on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 01:39 pm:

That should have been by 'Animated Quantum Man' 

By Duck Dogers in the 24th and a half Century on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 02:23 pm:

I have thtolen an Eludium Q-thirty-thikth ekthplothive thpathe modulator from Planet Ekth. That Nimrod over there wath planning to uthe it to blow up the Earth.

Porky: C-c-correction, sir. I stole it.

Go ahead, Eager young thpathe cadet, take all the credit. Thtab me in the back.

Porky: M-m-my mistake, your cowardly heroness, s-sir.

(Turning to the viewscreen again) Now, amigoth, what thay you help out thith thituation, eh?

By Marvin on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 02:31 pm:

Return the Eludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulatooor! 

By PD Insane`s author - you know who I am on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 04:32 pm:

Hey, Tacoman, QM and Jadlad's authors... are you going to keep on posting at Port Mike? 

By Lt Commander Rikard on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 04:59 pm:

Do we really need to help him. We all know that Daffy and Porky always beat Marvin. 

By PD Insane on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 05:06 pm:

At the end of "Duck Dogers in the 24th and a half Century" they were all hanging from the floating meteroid that was planet X. 

By Cadet Ansh Tembar on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 05:10 pm:

Ansh comes onto the bridge

Hey! That's Daffy Duck and Porky Pig! My favourite cartoon charactors...Except maybe now...
Looks down at herself...Me!

By PD Insane on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 05:11 pm:

I believe Ensigns Pinky and the Brain originated from this dimension... I wonder if anyone else from here will join the crew? 

By GundamWolf, starting to get ticked on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 05:22 pm:

I just want everyone who read my Elmer Fudd post in Cybersoap Confessions to know that I have nothing to do with this plot, and considering I've been waiting to bring back LotH after all plotlines were resolved, this better be a reaallly short adventure!

By GundamWolf....I want in on this! on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 05:26 pm:

But....as long as we're doing this, can I join the fun?!....

A timid woodland creature (NOT!) walks up to Jadlad, chews a carrot, and says `eh, what's up, Doc?'

By Commander Milkshake on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 06:33 pm:

Oh, of course Captain. Computer, transfer command control to Tacoman. Authorization Milkshake-Omega-3.

A booming voice speaks.

You have forgotten where you are, Commander!

The ALL-MIGHTY ERASER suddenly appears and attempts to erase Milkshake! Milkshake pulls out a ion pistol and tries to vaporize the 3-dimensional ERASER, but a small flag with the word "ZAP" pops out of the barrel. Milkshake dashes into the turbolift, two steps ahead of the vengeful deleting tool.

By Inspector Mystery on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 06:33 pm:

Captain, We should be on our toes here. If the laws of probibility are applicable, we should be on the lookout for falling anvils. {suddenly, without warning, The Inspector is indeed hit on the head by a falling anvil but he is able to shake off the effects.} 

By Animated Adon on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 07:03 pm:

Animated Adon picks up a small red cylinder.

I found an Atomic Discombobulator!

Suddenly, the device explodes! When the smoke clears, Jason is standing there in his boxers.

Jason, in his own voice and not Adon's: "Gee... its a little drafty in here."

He walks up to a closet and pulls out an Adon suit. He puts on the suit and then speaks in his normal voice.

That was odd.

By Meanwhile... on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 07:47 pm:

Certain members of LICC/small are testing the effects of frying pans, anvils and fast pianos on each other. 

By Animated Captain Tacoman on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 09:25 pm:

Hmm... I wonder if we'll find a tunnel that leads to 1940's L.A., and will we find Eddie Valant...
Suddenly, and without warning, a parade of penguins wanders onto the bridge, does a juggling act, and wander off again, except for one who rushes to catch up with the others
Tacoman experiments with his newfound cartoon powers, stretching himself around his chair two or three times and then bouncing back into place
Hey, this could be fun...

By Commander Milkshake on Saturday, December 30, 2000 - 10:05 pm:

Milkshake reenters the bridge. His armor is painted in garish colors, he has a ruffle around his helmet and a small flag attached to his hindsection. The flag depicts a primitive Earth construction/fastening device and a small white sphere used in professional sports.

I suppose the ERASER let me off easily. I don't know about you, Captain, but I'm starting to wish for normal situations like being captured inside armed enemy fortresses or being chased by powerful warships.

By Faithful K-NIT TV-47 Viewers on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 01:11 am:

Some of us recognize "Duck Amok"!!!!!

By GundamWolf on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 01:21 am:

Enter the (now-animated) Female Redshirt, holding a familar device, which she hands to Commander Milkshake (while trying not to laugh).

"Here, C-Comman...Commander....I f-found this in the supply room!"

She runs out of the room, laughing. Commander Milkshake looks at the device...its an Eludium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator!

By Interesting plot Twist on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 02:04 am:

Hmm.. I wonder if Greymoran meant "son" in a friendly sense, or was there something more to that?

There's something more to that. Do you have agenetic sample of Greymoran's available?

By Marvin on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 05:28 am:

Marvin hails the Spidership.

Hand over the space modulatoooooor!

By PD Insane on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 05:33 am:

Activating bridge controls!

The Modulator appears on Marvin's ship. However, the fuse has gone down. Marvin looks ervously at the audience before his ship blows up, and he is blasted through space at rocket-speed.

I say we return to this Universe's Earth and see if we can get a LICC video or soemthing that we can download into the computer and get us back.

By GundamWolf on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 06:52 am:

Regarding the Space Modulator; thanks for figuring out what I wanted you to do with it! ;)

The Female Redshirt, still giggling from seeing Commander Milkshake's new...silly-as...uh...INTERESTING...attire, watches the destruction of Marvin's ship from a view-screen in her quarters. As it explodes, she raises her arm and rapidly lowers it, bending the elbow:

"Yes!"

BTW, when L.I.C.C. returns to their normal universe, I vote Milkshake keeps the new look!

Go read my posts in the new Fantasy Rpg board! I want input, people!

By PD Insane on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 07:48 am:

GundamWolf, you know who I am, don't you?

Hey, if Milkshake stays like this I might want to wear my Cutthroat Jimlad outfit from time to time!

By Captain Tacoman on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 08:54 am:

Josh, set a course for the Earth of this universe.
Best cartoon speed.
Hey, what's that? A monkey-shaped spaceship rockets by
Somebody find genetic stuff that Greymoran might have left..hair, dead skin, that sort of stuff.
Tacoman looks over as the Female Redshirt reenters the bridge
Hello Nurse! Tacoman goes through the expected head olympics of one seeing a female in a cartoon universe

By Animated Rikard on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 02:37 pm:

Sir, if I set a course for Earth at our best speed we will all be literally become like pancakes and be flattened against the back bridge wall. Oh well, here we go.

The Spidership flies toward Earth in a very animated flash. Meanwhile, on the inside, everyone on the bridge has been thrown to the back wall and flattened like pancakes. Luckily, as soon as they enter Earth's atmosphere, the ship slows down on its own and the crew are able to peel themselves off of the wall.

By Captain Tacoman on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 03:13 pm:

Ouch...
I forgot that the inertial dampeners wouldn't work here...
Scan the planet. What's life like on this animated alternate?

By Black Silouhette of Audience Member in the Foreground on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 04:22 pm:

I've got some! 

By Yosemite Sam of Outer Space on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 04:26 pm:

Nobody move! Phasers the audience member, who does a dramatic collapse.

By GundamWolf on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 07:15 pm:

If this is going to be a Looney Tunes cartoon board from now on, I'm leaving....NOT! I could bring in Lord of the Hamburgers and have him turn into Hamburglar from the Mickey-D's commercials....nah...don't think so!

By Someone Else on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 08:28 pm:

Gundam, please refer any discussion about the story to the LICC Discussion board. 

By Captain Tacoman, suggesting an idea on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 10:20 pm:

Crew, I have an idea. Let's land this thing at some place that is having a New Year's Eve party and celebrate. I assume that this Earth uses the same time scale as our Earth. 

By GundamWolf on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 10:20 pm:

Sorry `bout that! (Tacoman, you've been watching Animaniacs too much! Heh, Heh! (I liked Tiny Toons better))

The Female Redshirt, having peeled herself off the wall, looks at Captain Tacoman, wondering why the heck he yelled `Hello, Nurse!', considering she's not wearing a nurse's uniform. She realizes she'd better keep an eye on this one, as he may be suffering from some mild form of insanity...not that everyone here ISN'T suffering from a mild form of insanity!

By Plot Complication on Sunday, December 31, 2000 - 10:37 pm:

A vision of Greymoran appears to Tacoman.

"In all the rush I'd forgotten. I am charging you with the task of hunting down my brother Radagast. Jake Grey is currently sucking up all of our attention. And Radagast isn't PURE evil. Get him alive if you can. There is an XDCA prison facility built specifically for high powered people as him, on a planet in your universe of origin. It's on a planet called 4-X4-16. Get him in on of the cells on GREEN deck. Remember that. Green deck. Radagast is quite mad, and delusional. He often fails to wreck my missions because of a blow to the head he suffered during an undercover to the Star Wars universe, but once in awhile he manages to surprise. Those orcs in the last mission were totally unexpected. Radagast used to be a good XDCA agent. Capture him alive if you can, but *looks somber* if lethal force must be applied..."

As he fades his last words to Tacoman are,

"Once Grey has been stopped, I will return. I hope you'll help me rebuild the XDCA. Good luck." 

By Anonymous on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 12:16 am:

Oh, God, no! Now I'm getting a headache! 

By Commander Milkshake on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 12:35 am:

(Tacoman, you've been watching Animaniacs too much! Heh, Heh! (I liked Tiny Toons better))

I'm more of a Classic Warner Bros. fan myself :-)

Milkshake pulls at the flag, but it won't come off.

Oh well.

Maybe we could stop by the Dew Drop Inn on Earth, for the Big Bad Wolf New Year's Bash, or maybe we could find the Infamous Spacegoing Party again. Wait a second!

Milkshake pulls a thick catalog out of a desk drawer, leafs through it, then dials a number on a phone shaped like a fish. In two seconds, a package falls out of thin air onto the deck. The ridiculous-looking commander rips it open, and finds....

LICC Part 1 DVD! Uncut with Commentary Track! Good old ACME company. Slip it in, Insane!

Insane pops the disc into the Ops console, and soon the battle with the KILL is playing on the screen.

POP!

Phew. Blue crysduranium again. Uh oh!

The flag is still attached to Milkshake's armor. Milkshake disdainfully pulls it off and vaporizes it with his gauntlet blaster.

By Lt Commander Rikard and his author on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 01:07 am:

I think we should get into the spirit of the holiday and watch the episode where the ship crashed into the new year's ball.

Happy New Year, everybody! 

By 57th Flashback on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 01:43 am:

Directly in front of the Spidermobile, the bonds of the time/space continuum are suddenly ripped apart! A vortex forms and begins to rotate. A huge time/space whirlpool sucking in all before it. Unpiloted, the Spidership with G.R. Inch's ship in tow swirls into the portal and disappears in a flash of light!

11:59:50 Dec 31, 1999 A.D. Times Square, New York, United States, Earth, Sol System, Sector 001

Dick Clark: "And the ball is dropping! 10...9...8...7...6...5...4..3...2..."
CCRRAASSHH!!!
"Oh my goodness! It appears that a giant spider-like spaceship of some sort has appeared out of nowhere and has crashed directly into the Ball! People are running for cover as sparks fly everywhere! This is amazing!"

The Spidership rests on its back atop the crushed Millennium ball in Times Square, as 300 feet above it, the time/space vortex closes.

By The Observer on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 01:44 am:

I'm glad I found that episode. And glad I skipped that cartoon storyline. 

By GundamWolf on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 04:28 am:

I prefer the classic stuff myself, Taco. I just got sick of Animaniacs waaaay too fast! Freakazoid, anyone?

Well, I guess the Looney Tunes adventure is over. I was hoping it would at last another day....sigh....

By Captain Tacoman, coming to conclusions on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 08:32 am:

All the Warner stuff is good. Anybody ever seen Histeria?
Tacoman picks up the box that the LICC DVD came in
MIlkshake, who does the commentary track on this thing?
Ok, you heard the guy who may or may not be related to me, let's go find Radagast.
Wait... if he's Greymoran's brother, and I'm related to Greymoran, wouldn't I be related to Radagast too?

By Paranoid Conspiracy Theorist but you can call me...Burt! on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 08:48 am:

It's a Conspiracy! A Conspiracy, I tell ya! Ah! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

By PD Insane on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 11:30 am:

Hey, Milkshake, who were YOUR parents? 

By alt-Furby on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 12:09 pm:

Hey! Maybe there is already a DVD with our next adventure? 

By Commander Milkshake on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 01:51 pm:

looking at the DVD case

I dunno, Captain. Some people named John Waid, Karpa Shir and Jack Domiques. I guess they're the producers or something.

My parents, Insane? Henry and Giselle Milkshake. Haven't seen them for a while, maybe after the next mission I should take leave and visit the folks.

By PD Insane on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 02:55 pm:

What did/do they do for a living? It isn't mentioned in the files, I believe. 

By Commander Milkshake on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 03:06 pm:

They were Archaeologists. They helped discover the ruins of Shacen's palace on Ternia IV. Why the interest in my family, Insane? 

By PD Insane on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 03:32 pm:

Funny, I was reading the archives and you apparently once said they were mathematicians. One of each? 

By Commander Milkshake on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 04:02 pm:

No, they were geometry majors in college, but their first love was Archaeology. That's how they met.

Anyway...how are we supposed to find Radagast if he can travel between dimensions, Captain? I suppose I could get Dimensional Cartography to scan the local uniband for him. 

By Captain Tacoman on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 04:16 pm:

Commander, do it. Use these scans I got when when my companions and I were confronted by him...
Tacoman plugs himself into his seat and downloads the data from his latest away mission
That should give you some information on Radagast and the other stuff that happened when he trapped KEY and I into the purple vortex

<REVERB>The Eye of Dark is Near!</REVERB>

By PD Insane on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 05:20 pm:

I believe Darth Armus once had it. Didn't he say it was once a communications device? Or maybe it can be used for many things, some good and some evil. 

By Eye of Darkness on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 06:53 pm:

A hideous voice is heard on the bridge.

FINALLY!

An explosion of blackness engulfs the bridge, a chilling void that knocks everyone senseless. Quantum Man glows bright white, but the blackness congeals around him and constricts. In milliseconds, Quantum Man disappears, spirited off by the void.

An undetected vessel bare kilometers away from the Spidermobile suddenly jumps to warp and disappears into deep space.

But, I will continue to come here occasionally, but rather than push the story along like I did before, I'll wait and see where you guys take the Radagast thing. Who knows. I may end up enjoying it even more just takin' the ride! 

By Commander Adon on Monday, January 01, 2001 - 10:42 pm:

Tacoman checks the sensors
It looks like someone blew the bridge's fuses...
Hmm.. sensors also show a ship leaving just as we were distracted...
Computer, show me the record for my parents
The record is displayed, and Tacoman turns around and addresses the crew that has gathered around
My parents... Joseph and Maria Tacoman, a Mexican-Jewish couple... Hence the name, Tacoman.
I was born with the first name of Jackson and the middle name Dupree. It wasn't bad name, but when I went into the superhero business I simply became Tacoman.

By GundamWolf on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 08:57 am:

Jackson....Dupree...Tacoman?! Do your friends call you `Dupe'?! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 

By Redshirt at the Engineering Console on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 12:04 pm:

Hey! Where did Lt. Cmdr. Quanum Man go?

His console shorts out, causing an "unfortunate" transporter accident, leaving a pile of goo under a red shirt...

By Smart-Alec Security Squad on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 01:09 pm:

No making fun of the Captain!!

450 redshirt security guards swarm over GundamWolf, and despite suffering massive casualties, throw him in the Interdimensional Smart-aleck Brig.

By GundamWolf, Redshirt Assassin on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 01:31 pm:

The Spidership's internal sensors detect that, for some unexplained reason, 450 redshirts have gone bonkers! The ship's security system responds by flooding the room where the Redshirts are gathered with acid, destroying them and any evidence that they even existed!
 

Thanks! I've always wanted to kill off a few hundred people! Anyway, I'm not an in-story character, and you can't touch me, so there!

P.S. My Female Redshirt character was not one of those killed; she's still working on repairing the Hydroponics Bay.

By PD Insane on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 01:34 pm:

Captain, I thought Tacoman was just your superhero name. There was a rumor that your real name was Lance Pepper or something. I should have seen it in your files, but then, if I couldn't find Milkshake's big-name parents there must have been something wrong with them!

For what it's worth, my parents were actors and producers of plays. I was given the middle name Dionysus after the Greek god of drama and frivolity. My real name is indeed Insane, my family have been known for its wackiness, it runs on the father's side. I have always had an interest in plays and once I visited the Globe Theatre in New Stratford on the planet Thespis, but I was kicked out because I got too excited and threw things at the actors. 

By Annoyed nitpicking viewer on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 01:35 pm:

Why exactly did that console short out? There must be some reason other than the fact that the crewmember at it was wearing red. 

By Female Redshirt, conducting repairs on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 01:41 pm:

Playing on the headphone radio the Female Redshirt is listening to as she conducts repairs:

It's the end of the world as we know it,and ten beats nine!

It's the end of the world as we know it, my favorite wood is pine!

It's the end of the world as we know it, a German river's the Rhine!

It's the end of the world as we know it....Turpentine!

By Censor on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 01:49 pm:

Due to the graphic redshirt deaths we will have to give LICC an R and show it after 9pm. And it will only be watched by a bunch of teenagers with pink hair and nose-rings. Tone it down a little if you want to keep a healthy PG. 

By Captain J. Tacoman on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 02:13 pm:

Insane, during the late 20th century, I used Lance Pepperman as a cover, but I used my real name again when I signed up at the Department of Superheroics.
So now you see why I used the name I did during the space miner episode.
Gundam, actually, most of my friends call me Tacoman, or Taco. My enemies don't call me at all... we never go out and have a drink...
Ahem...
Also Insane, throwing things at the actors is a fine theater tradition. The Ancient Greeks did it, the audience of the orignal Globe theater did it... 

By The Observer on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 02:34 pm:

Censor, where were you when the redshirt was eaten by termites? Or when one of them was crushed by high gravity? Or the one that fell over and broke every bone in his body? These were pretty tame. 

By PD Insane on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 02:36 pm:

That's what I said but would they listen? Bunch of stuffed shirts wouldn't know tradition if it ran them over in a bulldozer, sent them on a rocket around the Earth, juggled them and made them into some sort of stew.

To the Observer: I was not assigned at the time, but in reruns that scene will not be permitted. Also, I believe PD Insane's comments were only barely called-for, but acceptable since it was only in speech. Tone it down! 

By GundamWolf, god of vengence on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 04:17 pm:

Hey, Censor? Read the new Fantasy Rpg board? I've got a Fireball with your name on it! 

By Censor on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 04:22 pm:

No dimension hopping, remember! And I'm through with you, it's the termite guy I'm after. 

By The Observer on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 04:48 pm:

Censor, pretending to be associated with the fictional K-NIT station is all well and good, but unless you are the board moderator, Charles Cabe, or the site moderator, Phil Farrand, I really don't think you have any right to restrict what goes on here. You of course may make complaints to Ccabe protesting the graphic redshirt deaths, but I don't think it is doing any harm. Otherwise Star Trek, Star Wars and quite a few science-fiction and fantasy stories and shows would be gone.

And Gundam, calm down, calm down. :-) 

By Jadlad on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 04:51 pm:

Out of character.

GundamWolf, Knock it off! I'm getting sick and tired of your attitude. Now play nice.

I'm sorry everyone, he's usually not like this.

By Jadlad on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 04:55 pm:

I'll be right back. Jadlad puts in an order for new redshirts. They arrive shortly.

There. Now lets get back to work.

By Censor on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 05:00 pm:

I'm a member of K-NIT who's never met Ccabe and is just rather annoyed and senseless redshirt deaths - ones which have meaning and are relevant are cleverer and... dare I say it... funnier. I found Dedgeham's cutting himself on the glass much better than a console exploding for no reason. (Not that he had any authority to cause the demise of Dedgeham, but how was he to know?)

Of course, now you can probably tell who I am. 

By The Observer on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 05:11 pm:

Well if you meant SENSELESS and not GRAPHIC deaths you should have said so, Scott. And I thought the termites were rather funny, if disgusting. Okay, I'll try to make my future redshirt demises amusing. ;-) 

By Censor on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 05:17 pm:

I said graphic so I would be more like a censor. But I have more of an objection to senseless.

And I am not ScottN! Nor Scott Free. Any more guesses should be taken to the Confessions or LICC Discussion Board. 

By The Observer on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 05:24 pm:

Oh, terribly sorry. Apologies to ScottN as well. 

By GundamWolf on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 05:30 pm:

The deaths of the 450 Redshirts after me? I thought it was funny! And the post I made threatening Censor was a joke! I know how everyone hates censors, so I thought it would be taken as it was, a jest! Sheesh! Here's a dollar, go buy a sense of humor Jadlad!

I'm leaving the L.I.C.C. board alone for awhile and concentrating on the new Fantasy board for a while; I'll be reading here, just not posting; consider the Female Redshirt to be in stasis or something. 

By Padawan Observer on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 05:44 pm:

This is beginning to remind me of KAM's summaries of the Phantom Returns boards: Visit to animation universe, and a few members talk about their families. General Censor-bashing. Greymoran is ignored.

By Inspector Mystery on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 05:51 pm:

Captain, the sub dimensional sensors have picked up the subharmonic vector of that ship. 

By Captain Tacoman on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 06:14 pm:

Good job, Inspector. Transfer the vector to the helm.
Josh, when you get the coordinates, take the ship to them. 

By Lt Commander Rikard on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 06:21 pm:

Maybe we shouldn't put 50,000 volts into our consoles and they won't fry us when they blow up. Just a suggestion. 

By LICC Quartermaster, a bit miffed at Jadlad Superguy on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 06:43 pm:

Jadlad, ordering new redshirts is my job. Please place all future orders through me, as we have an account at Acme Redshirt Company, and I get a price break.

Thank you. 

By Male Redshirt on Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 11:04 pm:

Hmm. Computer, put a beard and a sardonic smile on Tacoman's father.

*guess who he looks like now?* 

By Quantum Man on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 02:47 am:

Bouncing around in a dark room -- he can't help it, as his momentum is uncertain...

Where am I! Who are you???

By Plot Complication on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 03:16 am:

*Time freezes again. Tacoman turns around, half smiling. "Good. Finally some answers," he mutters*

But it's not Greymoran. It's the familiar black robe and dragon amulet that denotes the appearence of Radagast.

"You think you have all the answers don't you?" He's not looking at Tacoman. Belatedly, Tacoman realizes the Male Redshirt who spoke earlier is in the time bubble with him. Radagast shakes his head, then turns back to Tacoman. "You have in you the potential for evil beyond comprehension. And it's all thanks to me." He smiles, an evil smile. "Too bad you cannot be turned. You have too much of your mother in you. A good women, albeit easily fooled." He disappears.

*time returns to normal, but the Male Redshirt is lying on the deck, dead, with an acid burn in the center of his chest.* 

By Captain Tacoman, learning disturbing things about his family on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 08:18 am:

Steve, I just got a visit from Radagast.
Tacoman replays the message on his wrist communicator
Did he mean what I think he did?
Potential for evil...thanks but no thanks.

By The All-Powerful Moderator on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 10:05 am:

Censor,
Will you please stop complaining about sensless red shirt deaths, Or verily I shall smite you and you will remain smote. In other words, this might happen to you. (Walks over to Lt. Arthur Edward Von Anglebottom, a red shirt. Bends down to whisper something in his ear. Ccabe yells as loud as he can and Lt. Van Anglebottom's head explodes. Kaboom!) 

By Commander Milkshake on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 01:06 pm:

I don't know, Captain. Things are getting very creepy. I think our main problem now is the Eye of Darkness. Remember Quantum Man is the living host for the Eye of Light, the only thing that can defeat Darkness. If Darth Fury and the Eye of Darkness has him, the universe could well be doomed. I think we need to find him and fast.

Milkshake grins

And if we regain the Eye of Light, we might not have to worry about baddies like Radagast.

By Captain Tacoman on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 01:38 pm:

Steve, I think we should help Graymoran in his own fight, as seeing as he helped us. I've got an idea. Follow me, Steve.
Tacoman and Milkshake go to the science lab, where a emergency redshirt cloning device stands
You see, my plan is to clone myself with all my memories, send the clone, a large shuttlecraft, and all the weapons we can to Graymoran's location. That way, we can be of help.
The cloning takes place, the shuttle is loaded with all sorts of goodies along with Tacoman's clone, and the shuttle is transported to the dimension that Graymoran is currently in
Hope this helps, dad.

By Evil K-NIT TV-47 Executive on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 01:48 pm:

CJ? This is EE. Yeah, the ratings just came in. Our ratings were waaaaay down during the Xmas season? What's that, babe? Our focus groups said something about a lack of dead redshirts, whatever those are.

Yeah, I'll find out, and jack up the count. OK, babe! 

By Commander Milkshake on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 06:48 pm:

Helm, how close are we to Fury's ship? 

By Evil K-NIT TV-47 Executive on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 09:34 pm:

To all LICC members:

To increase our ratings, management decrees an increase in senseless redshirt deaths, whatever those are.

Thank you,

Evil K-NIT TV-47 Executive 

By Lt Commander Rikard on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 10:18 pm:

We should catch him in about twenty minutes. 

By A Redshirt who cares about ratings on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 10:26 pm:

Reads the memo from the Evil Executive on his console. "Accidentally-on-purpose" pushes the wrong button, causing 474,747 volts to go through his body, frying him to a crisp.

By Captain Tacoman on Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 10:42 pm:

Ops, when we get in range of Fury's ship, disable it, but not destroy it. We need some answers.
Josh, take the ship to the next board. 

By GundamWolf on Thursday, January 04, 2001 - 12:16 am:

GundamWolf, here. I know I said I wasn't going to post here for a while, but, about the increase in the number of reshirt deaths needing to be upped....

Just what the heck do you call the death of 450 redshirts at once?!

Have a nice day...hopefully I'll be back when the Captain Tacoman/Greymoran and TerrSec plots are wrapped up. Then watch out...The Lord of The Hamburgers shall return!

BTW, check out the new Fantasy Rpg board (name soon to change) over in the Kitchen Sink....and I don't mean the Baldur's Gate board.

By The Observer on Thursday, January 04, 2001 - 01:10 am:

Just what the heck do you call the death of 450 redshirts at once?!

"I call it a day's work." :-)

Have a nice day...hopefully I'll be back when the Captain Tacoman/Greymoran and TerrSec plots are wrapped up.

AND the Darth Fury thing. What are you guys doing with 3 active storylines at once????

By Anonymous on Thursday, January 04, 2001 - 06:17 am:

My thoughts exactly...Obsy!

By GundamWolf on Thursday, January 04, 2001 - 06:20 am:

Change that...I WILL be back when two of the current plotlines are over. I don't care which two, but since the TerrSec and Greymoran plots have been going on longer.....

By GundamWolf...BladeWolf on the Fantasy Boards on Thursday, January 04, 2001 - 06:26 am:

Oh, yeah, the Fantasy board, which Observer renamed Novaquest without asking anybody, is going to get another new name Monday. The Fantasy board needs more people to get involved, so come on over! We need non-human characters (Elves, Dwarves, Trolls...that sort of thing) and we need people to create the world's gods. The gods will be run by either Observer or myself, depending on the situation, but you get to create most of them! (I've already created two)

I posted this here, because the Cybersoap Confessions board hasn't been getting as many new posts as it used to lately. Sorry to interrupt.

By Faithful K-NIT TV-47 Viewer on Thursday, January 04, 2001 - 02:26 pm:

The Fury plot has been going on much longer than the others. 

By Padawan on Thursday, January 04, 2001 - 02:32 pm:

Yes, let's not bring it back, OK? And maybe we ought to have a new board this is over 110k! 

By Darth Pah Armus on Thursday, January 04, 2001 - 02:53 pm:

The Orb of Darkness is a piece from the Franklin Mint. But I belive I have a new upgrade, the Crisis on Infinite boards device. Just one press of this button will shift us into a dimention in which certian poorly written plot lines no longer exist.
