<Dr_Eeum>  RPG GO!
<Countrykat> ::can be any chara needed!::
<Dr_Eeum> ::memos for Trina and Maaaarkymark. to see the good ol’ doc. XD::
<Dr_Eeum> <Protocol> ::wants to locate Tess. is that possible?::
* Countrykat is now known as Tessie_Reed
* Sagey is now known as Trina_Korat
<Tessie_Reed> ::shuas! is at her home! working on some invention or another for her dad!::
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::then calls the Greenbox residence:: <Greenbox>::at Puma-Dyne::
<Trina_Korat> ::groans, makes her way to the doc, knocks on the door::
<Tessie_Reed> ::will answer!:: Greenbox residence! Tessie speaking.
<Dr_Eeum> ::is in the conference room that serves as his evaluation place. cheery voice:: Come in!
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> Your last name still your alias Reed isn’t it?
<Trina_Korat> You… wanted to see me?
<Tessie_Reed> Yes. Who is this?
<Dr_Eeum> Ah yes, Agent Forge.  Come have a seat.  ::smiles. wearing a nice blue suit with blue bowtie today. long balding hair pulled backin ponytail.::
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> The Deputy Mayor.
<Tessie_Reed> ::Frowns:: What can I do for you then?
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> I’d like to speak with you someplace privately.  Have a chat.  Do you like coffee?
<Trina_Korat> ::bites back the urge to say, “BALDY!!!” Is in jeans and an MBI shirt with boots. Sits!::
<Tessie_Reed> ((::Snorks trina::))
<Dr_Eeum> Are you on duty today, Agent Forge?
<Tessie_Reed> I do.  why do we need to talk though?
<Trina_Korat> ::coughs::buh-huld::cough:: No, I’m not. I was called by Captain Korat to sign something and here I am.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> I’d rather not say on an open connection such as this.  Please meet with me.  I’ll purchase anything you like.
<Tessie_Reed> ::sighs:: Alright. It better be good. I am very busy. ::not! just doodling on this project::
<Dr_Eeum> Ah well good, we have a bit of time then.  ::still that everlasting smile on his face::  I take it this part-time shift is working well for you?
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> Wonderful.  Meet me at the Cocoa Bean coffee house that’s a few blocks from the Bureau.
<Trina_Korat> Yes, it is. ::legs and arms crossed::
<Tessie_Reed> Very well. Be there soon. ::hangs up! lol! sighs and shakes head. goes acoherant and zappies into a powerline and zaps to coffee place!::
<Dr_Eeum> Motherhood is such an ongoing thing, you’re fortunate in working at a place that fosters family values.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot>::hangs up. was outside the place in a new car of hers as her other one was towed by the CKIA somewheres and she doesn’t trust it now. gets out and goes inside the coffee place.  selects a booth she normally shares with someone else and sits, waiting::
<Trina_Korat> ::arches a brow:: Uh… okay….
<Tessie_Reed> ::will zappy out there nearby then walks in, spotting her and heads inside! taking a seat with her:: What is this about?
<Dr_Eeum> Your second career put on hold as well?
<Trina_Korat> ::blinks:: My “second career?”
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> First how about you order something, won’t you?  They don’t care for loitering here.  <waitress> ::comes to takeorders, Prot gets some fancy pantz coffee drink mun can’t spell -g-::
<Dr_Eeum> Your music.  The band Spurr you play in with your brother?
<Trina_Korat> Oh, that. No, not really. I write music for the band on my spare time and my son enjoys the occassional lullabye, so no, it’s not.
<Tessie_Reed> ::sighs, will order a latte::
* Matt_brb is now known as McGrath
<Dr_Eeum> That’s good.  Tell me, Agent Forge, why is it that you gave up your Lieutenant position?
<Dr_Eeum> ((hey Matt ‘n WB!))
<Tessie_Reed> ((WB!))
<Trina_Korat> ((hey Matt!))
<Dr_Eeum> <waitress>::smiles and goes to get:: <Protocol> You any further contact with that Chip by chance?
<Trina_Korat> Because it was already enough that my brother and his best friend were in charge. Plus, I wanted to be on the field a lot more.
<Tessie_Reed> Negative. It has only been a few days. I do not go for coffee often.
<Dr_Eeum> Really?  Why is it you don’t want to be on the field a lot more now?
<Trina_Korat> I never said that. I’m on the field as many times as I can be.
<McGrath> ((<Trina> I told coach that I was ready, that I’d been practicing real hard, but he still benched me. <Dr. Eeum> I see that your mindset is still trapped in high school. <Trina> This won’t affect my GPA, with it? ))
<McGrath> ((will^)
<Dr_Eeum> <waitress> ::puts down their drinks and lets them be:: <Prot> ::stirs some of hers a bit before drinking:: Did you have any communication privately with him during the time you were with one another in the Director’s car?
<Tessie_Reed> (:DIIIES!::))
<Dr_Eeum> ((::DEAD!::))
<Tessie_Reed> That is private information if we did. If it was not private, we would have spoken out loud. :sips her latte::
<Dr_Eeum> But you’ve cut your duty time in half if not more.
<Trina_Korat> ((:dies!::))
<Dr_Eeum> Can’t be on the field when you’re at home.
<Trina_Korat> Um… duh? I’ve got a kitten to take care of now.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::smirks at her:: Whot’s your opinion of this Browser and the CKIA’s hunt for cyberbeing research?
<Dr_Eeum> There’s always daycare you know.
<Trina_Korat> And there’s always my mother in law, who takes care of him whenever I do go out on duty. What’s your point?
<Tessie_Reed> I do not approve of it.  It is not nice of them to do so. Many of us have feelings just a biological does. They would not do such to a biological. I only expect the same respect be shown to us.
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Trina> Do you KNOW what daycare costs?! I could just toss my paycheck down the drain! <Dr. Eeum> Mad about our pay are we? <Trina> >_< ::Hangs him from the flagpole::))
<Dr_Eeum> You started out as a lieutenant, chose to resign from that then later on chose to adopt a kitten which resulted in you shortening your hours with the Bureau.  Does your work here at the Bureau… dissatisfy you in any way?
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!))
<Dr_Eeum> ((::dies!::))
<McGrath> ((<Dr. Eeum> You need drugs. Lots and lots of prescription drugs. :: writting out a prescription :: I’ll get you some Ritalin to cancel out your hyperactivity, some Zoloft for the depression, some Ambient to help you sleep and some Zelnorm for your constipation. <Trina> … ))
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> Oh I don’t know about that, Tessie.  The biologicals treat one another with unkindness as well.
<Tessie_Reed> ((::SOOOOOOOODEAD!::))
<Dr_Eeum> ((::DEAD::))
<Trina_Korat> ::arches a brow:: What are you getting at, Doc? Are you expecting me to say that I hate my job? That I wish I was someplace else? That deserve higher compensation for the way I work and I slave and “what thanks do I get?”
<Tessie_Reed> Well, not like this. ANd they have rights. I think we should have the same rights.
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD MATT!))
<Dr_Eeum> I’m not saying any of that.  Is that what you feel? ::writing alla this down of course::
<Trina_Korat> I dunno. Issit? You’re the professional.
<McGrath> ((<Trina> I work really hard around here. <Dr. Eeum> Then how come 90% of all RPG plots start out with you, and I quote :: reading off a transcript :: ” hanging out in the breakroom? ” <Trina> … where’d you get that?))
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies!:: <Trina> MUN!!!!! <Sage> He paid me in chocolate.))
<Tessie_Reed> ((::SOOOOOODEAD!::))
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::grins at her:: Yes we should.  But that would mean exposing ourselves to the general public, and I can tell you from experience, we won’t be thought of as deserving any rights whatsoever, only containment and deletion.
<Dr_Eeum> ((::DIIIES!!::))
<McGrath> :: attempts to call Protocol again ::
<Tessie_Reed> That is why we live in secrecy posing as biologicals. Why is this important? ::frowning. wants to leeeeeave! tired of these bad cyberkitties coming around her!::
<Dr_Eeum> Now now, why are you getting hostile?  I’m only trying to help you to help me to help you. ::smilesmile::
<Trina_Korat> I’m not hostile. I haven’t even raised my voice once. Why are you getting paranoid?
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> Because we- Hold on a moment. ::takes up her phone:: Hello?
<Dr_Eeum> Why are you paranoid about the motives behind my questions?
<Tessie_Reed> ::sips her latte while waiting on Prot::
<McGrath> Where are you?
<Trina_Korat> Why are you paranoid about my questions behind the motives behind your questions?
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> The coffee shop.  Why? <::to Tessie now:: Thisis important because I need to know where you stand on this issue.>
<Tessie_Reed> <I do not like how we are treated but at this time the public is not ready to know about us so I chose to wait to reveal myself till the day whenever they ARE ready.>
<Trina_Korat> And, while we’re at it, why are you so unusually happy? Seriously, I’ve seen bright sunny days more miserable than you.
<Tessie_Reed> (::rolling at trina!:: <Megs>::cheer her on!::))
<Dr_Eeum> ::laughs now and grins at her:: Are you always this charming while being evasive?
<Dr_Eeum> There’s nothing wrong with being happy.
<McGrath> Because I think someone is trying to kill you, if they haven’t alreadr tried. Where have you been?
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Prot>::snooorks!:: Little late for that I think, McGrath)
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> It’s a long story.  <When will this be, Glitch?  Because we are going to be revealed by biologicals whether we feel it is time or not.  Mark my words on that.>
<Trina_Korat> I’m always charming. It’s how I met my husband. ::then smirks:: And, there’s nothing wrong with being a liiiiitle :;uses her fingers to show “a liiiittle” miserable. For example, why are you always so happy? Can’t help it? Happy disease? Bitten by the happy bug?
<Tessie_Reed> <whenever I feel its appropriate to do so. I do not know. right now I am remaining in my quiet, happy life till that time comes>
<Dr_Eeum> I’m happy because I’m confident with myself.  Each day brings new experiences and I find that oh so exciting. ::smiles seriously XD::
<McGrath> Then be ready to tell it. I’ll be at the coffee shop in 10 minutes. :: hangs up ::
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> <Then whot do you intend to do if the CKIA reveals us as they intend?  As a threat?>
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot>::hangs up her phone and pockets it::
<Tessie_Reed> <I will stay hidden. if we are accepted favorably then I will come out. >
<Trina_Korat> That begs the question – shouldn’t you be doing this on the MBC Learning Hour for kittens instead of evaluating agents that don’t need any evaluation?
<Dr_Eeum> I’m not a child psycholgist, Agent Forge. ::chuckles::
<Tessie_Reed> ((<Trina> Are you sure? ::watching the Megs run around and play like kittens::))
<Dr_Eeum> ((LOL!!))
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies!::))
<Trina_Korat> Yyyyeah…. I guess you don’t have that look…
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> <I see.  Well then, I won’t waste any more of your precious time with your… “daddy’s” work.>
<Dr_Eeum> And what look would that be?
<Tessie_Reed> <Thank you. And thank you for the latte. you don’t have to worry about me. I won’t be the one to spill your precious secret.>::Standing up to leave:: have a good day, Deputy Mayor. ::will turn and head out!::
<Trina_Korat> Eh. Nevermind. :waves her hand:: It’s not important::
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> Likewise, Miss Reed. ::smirks, sips coffee, watching her go::
<Tessie_Reed> ::will go back home then! zapping into a power line outside and heading home!::
<Dr_Eeum> Alright then.  Is there anything you’d like to discuss with me?
<Trina_Korat> ::smiles:: Not at all. Is there anything you’d like to discuss with ME?
<McGrath> :: enters the coffee shop after Glitch leaves, seeing the Cyberkat in question, walking over to her booth ::
<Dr_Eeum> I think that will do, Agent Forge.  Thank you very much for your time. ::reaches out to shake her hand::
<Trina_Korat> ::shakes hand:: You’re welcome. ::as she stands and walks out crisply, still smiling:: Have a nice day, bal-erm.. Doc!
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> I’m glad to know you were concerned for my absence.
<Dr_Eeum> You as well! ::smiles, writing things down::
<Trina_Korat> ;hums down the hallway, stopping by to give Joe a peck on the cheek in his office:: Man, he’s a lot of fun.
<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::Arches a brow at Trina walking out smiling. Thinks she either had too much fun tormenting the doc, or he cured her of her cynicism::
<Tessie_Reed> <Joe> Didn’t torture him too much did you? ::Smirking::
<Trina_Korat> Awwwww… you really think that of me?
* Tessie_Reed is now known as Joseph_Forge
<Joseph_Forge> I know you all too well. ::smirks::
<McGrath> :: has a seat, not looking his best. A little paler and thinner, with some mild dark circles around his eyes :: You disappeared at a very inoporrtune time.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> So I heard.  It was not my own choosing I assure you. ::frowns a little as she takes in his appearence::
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::moves aside Tessie’s cup and napkin for him::
<Trina_Korat> ::does that “I have a halo on my head” motion::
<Trina_Korat> <Mark> ::sighs, knocks on Eeum’s door::
<Dr_Eeum> Come in!
<Joseph_Forge> ::snorks:: Oh yeah right..
<McGrath> Then whose was it?
<Joseph_Forge> Don’t believe that for one minute.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> The CKIA’s.
<Trina_Korat> WHaaaaaaaat?
<McGrath> What did they do to you?
<Trina_Korat> Hey, Doc.
<Trina_Korat> ((MARK!)
* Trina_Korat is now known as Mark_Sulfur
<Joseph_Forge> You know what. ::grins:: How bad did you torture him? I wanna know the details.
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> ::snorks, sits and tells him::
<Joseph_Forge> ::laughing and shaking head:: You are terrible.
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> ::preens::
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::sighs, takes in a breath and exhales:: Imprisoned me.  They’ve got a little pet, their attempt at a cyberbeing, in the form of a canine.  It has a special capability however, that it can mimic our signals and use that to contain us after a merging.  The cyberdog then took me to its “masters”, where later I was forced out and into a large tube of layered glass, water in one of those.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> There I was interrogated and held against my will until they were satisfied with my answers and allowed me to leave.
<Joseph_Forge> Good job. I’ll make sure you get a raise. ::Grinning::
<Dr_Eeum> Director Sulfur.  I’m glad to see you.  You are one busy tom.
<Dr_Eeum> ::stands for Mark this time and offers hand to shake::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::shakes his hand back:: So I’m told.
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> Awww… I knew you cared.
<Dr_Eeum> ::sits down and motions for him to sit:: It was almost like you’ve not even been here in the past week.
<Joseph_Forge> Of course I do.  You about to head to get Cale from mom?
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> Oh, hon. You know how important my job is more than my son.
<Mark_Sulfur> I’ve had things to take care of.
<Joseph_Forge> ::Snorks:: Oh yeah. I forgot that part. And how you’re unhappy here. You unhappy with me too? with being a mother? ::joking tone::
<Dr_Eeum> Of course, of course. ::nods:: You’re very hard working and dedicated to not only the MBI, but to your agents as well.  Very commendable work you do here, Director.
<McGrath> Allowed you to leave. They didn’t do anything else to you? Alter your programming? Embed any hidden applications?
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> you have no idea. I want a divorce, Joe. I dunno what I was thinking when I married you.
<Joseph_Forge> Oh no.  What will I ever do without you? ::plainly:: In few words as I can muster…no.
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<Prot> They rigged Minesweeper to cause me to blow a fuse everytime I try to – ::EXPLODES!!:: <McGrath> ….))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> ::grins::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::arches a brow:: Thank you.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> No.  They didn’t need to, as they had another cyberkat who they did the physical examinations on.  I’m not sure how much they learned from him, and I know the cyberdog was only able to gain basic information out of me during the merge with it.  ::grins::  I have an advantage at having been around much longer than the others and am more capable of defending myself.
<Dr_Eeum> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Joseph_Forge> Just for that, you have to put up with me on the way home. ::getting up and gathering his stuff up to go home:: I
<Joseph_Forge> I’m leaving it to Jase for the day.
<McGrath> ((<Prot> So, what’s goin’ on in Megakat City? <McGrath> Chaos and terror :: pauses :: Oh yeah, and oh man what a pitty. ))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::DIES!!!:: Oh, kats. I heard that rap in SPanish. It’s embedded in my head))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Dr_Eeum> So tell me, how does it feel to be in charge of a very successful law organization?
<Mark_Sulfur> ((in poorly translated Spanish))
<Dr_Eeum> ((::dead!!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> In one word? Fantastic.
<Dr_Eeum> ::chuckles:: That is good to hear.  Leadership is a thankless job they say.
<Mark_Sulfur> I’m not in it for the compensation. I’m in it to make sure the city is protected.
<Joseph_Forge> ((<Mark> Actually I’m thanked every day the agents manage not to blow the building up.  Thats enough for me.))
<McGrath> Not so capable that you couldn’t be captured :: mildly :: I need to ask you a question, again. And I need you to answer it honestly.
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::dies!::))
<Dr_Eeum> Were you flattered when you were given the opportunity to run this upstart group?
<Dr_Eeum> ((::dead!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((<McGrath> Are you a natural blonde? Cuz’ I’m seeing brown roots. <Prot> ….))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> Not flattered. Honored is the right term.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::hrmphs at that but nods for him to ask. takes a drink::
<McGrath> Did you alter the results of the election?
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::looks him in the eyes at that:: NO.  I did not.
<Dr_Eeum> Do you feel you’ve kept up with the expectations given to you when you first started your directorship?
<Joseph_Forge> ((::snorks. read that as dictatorship::))
<Mark_Sulfur> (<Mark> ::smirks:: yes. All my enemies have been exterminated. ))
<Dr_Eeum> ((LOL! <Joe> That’s when Josie was in charge.))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((::dying!::))
<McGrath> Then I suggest that you find out who did. Agencies have discovered evidence of tampering, and your position as Deputy Mayot may be compromised as a result. They won’t hesitate to expose you and cite you as the culprit.
<Mark_Sulfur> I don’t hear anyone complaining, so yes.
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<McGrath> That is, if they can’t find a better one.
<Joseph_Forge>  Just for that, you have to put up with me on the way home. ::getting up and gathering his stuff up to go home:: I
<Joseph_Forge> <Joseph_Forge> I’m leaving it to Jase for the day.
<Joseph_Forge> ::respost for sageymun if she missed earlier::
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> Ah, dangit.
<Mark_Sulfur> ((I did miss. XD))
<Joseph_Forge> ((OMG HOW DARE YOU?! XD ::flees!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ::gives an evil laugh, heading out with her!::
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> By “they” do you mean the CKIA?  I’m well aware of the danger of being exposed since they now know.  I am curious though of this evidence.  Whot’s been found out?
<Mark_Sulfur> (Don’t make me send those hideous dog purses after you!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!:: Oh please don’t…))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((I’ll… make them bite you! With… their… zippers!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Dr_Eeum> Do you hear yourself complaining?
<McGrath> One specific incident involving Sulfur. The CKIA has also alluded to further evidence. A public investigation is eminent if something isn’t done.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> Well currently I’m busy in helping to further restoring order to Megakat after that incident with Dr. Viper in Turmoil’s airship.
<Mark_Sulfur> Why would I complain to myself?
<Dr_Eeum> I asked what you feel about yourself, not what the agents feel.
<McGrath> There’s another option you should consider. I think that you should publically reveal your status as a Cyberkat.
<Joseph_Forge> ((<Mark> I Hate you! OH YEAH?! WELL I HATE YOU! NU UH! I HATE YOU MORE! WELL YOU STINK AS DIRECTOR! OH? NOT AS MUCH AS YOU DO! <Dr. Eeum> O.o  ::calls the asylum::))
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::laughs:: You and I both know that will be a disaster for cyberbeings.
<Mark_Sulfur> I feel pretty confident about myself, doc.
<Mark_Sulfur> ((DEAD!))
<Dr_Eeum> ((::diies!::))
<Joseph_Forge> ::will go get in the truck to go home!::
<Dr_Eeum> ::nods:: There seems to be a lot of closeness here at the Bureau.  Two married couples within your ranks.  Is there anyone special in your life, Director?  Here or otherwise?
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> ::Gets in with him::
<Mark_Sulfur> I don’t think that’s any of your concern, Doc.
<Joseph_Forge> So whats for dinner tonight?
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> Carrots and water.
<Dr_Eeum> Ah a private kat I see.  I’ll respect that.
<Joseph_Forge> ::chuckles:: I’ll stop and get takeout…
<McGrath> An awareness campaign. Brining the public into the loop. Alleviate concerns, and show Cyberkats as law-abiding and hard-working. If you don’t, then agencies like the CKIA and the NSA will continue to hold the bargaining chip of your true identity over you.
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> I’m kidding. How does roast salmon sound?
<Joseph_Forge> Sounds wonderful. ::smiles at her:: Very wonderful. Just want an evening of quiet to be honest…sure we have to go get cale tonight?
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::frowns some and leans back a bit pondering this:: The last time we were exposed, it was because of cyberkats doing harm… I’m not sure however we’ll be met more positively despite starting with a positive example.
<McGrath> It’s the first step towards co-existance.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> I’ll lose my position most likely.
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> ::chuckles:: Your mother doesn’t mind.
<Mark_Sulfur> Thanks.
<Dr_Eeum> Mind if I ask what you do to relax?
<Dr_Eeum> I’m sure your position holds many stresses.
<Joseph_Forge> Never does. She and grandma both were happy when we got Cale. ::gets home! parking in their garage and gets out! heading inside::
<Mark_Sulfur> I work out.
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> ::chuckles::
<McGrath> Hire a PR firm. Do something gradual. But if you do nothing, you’re going to lose it all. If enough evidence shows that sufficient election fraud occured, there will be a special election with the prior invovled candidates.
<Dr_Eeum> That all?  Lift weights, run…?
<McGrath> And when that happens, mud will start slinging, and too many know who you really are now.
<Mark_Sulfur> All those.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> ::mrrrs at this, scowling:: Then I have no choice.  I know of at least one or two cyberkats who would be willing to be subjected to such a PR show.  I want to know more about the incident with Mark and what evidence the CKIA is gathering.  If someone has rigged this election… ::breaks stirrer in half::
<Dr_Eeum> ::nods writing writing:: Is there any problems that ever arise between agents?  It’s strange to see everyone in such a stressful environment getting along always so well.
<Joseph_Forge> :goes in and goes to change! then comes down in some jeans and a t-shirt, grabbing a milk from the fridge and goes to sit in his chair and relax::
<Mark_Sulfur> <Trina> ::goes cook de’ fish!::
<Joseph_Forge> ::sits and relaxes then! sipping his milk::
<Mark_Sulfur> If there IS a problem, we fix it. We’re all in this as a family.
<McGrath> I’m sure you’d take care of it :: stands up :: I’ll be in touch :: turns to leave ::
<Dr_Eeum> I see. ::smiles:: That’s good to hear.  ::finishes writing up something:: Well I’m sure you need to get back to your work.
<Mark_Sulfur> Yes, I do. Thanks for your time, Doc.
<Dr_Eeum> <Prot> <I don’t believe this… no matter what I do someone is always going to ruin it!> Of course… do take good care of yourself, McGrath.
<Dr_Eeum> ::reaches out to shake Mark’s hand:: No problem at all.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::shakes back, and leaves:
<Mark_Sulfur> ((And, I need bed. ::hugs to all::))
<Joseph_Forge> ((maww nights! ::hugs::))
<Dr_Eeum> ((maw ::huggles Sagey:: Night!))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((Nights all!))
* @Mark_Sulfur Quit (Quit: I got a postcard from my brain today. It said it’s having a wonderful time.)
* Dr_Eeum is now known as Protocol

<Protocol> <I’m going to have to reveal us to the public positively, before the CKIA or anyone else does so negatively.>
<Tessie_Reed> <Then that is your problem. I chose to remain hidden till it is definite the public accepts us.>
<Protocol> <I need your help, Tessie.  I need one of us cyberkats to be a good example.>

<Protocol> <You think it is safe for any of us?  Forget your blasted biological adopted father and think for yourself!>
<Tessie_Reed> <I AM thinking for myself. And I am not going to let you make decisions for me.  I will include him in my decisions because it will affect him as well. if that is not good enough for you then forget it and find another cyberkat.>
