Living Room
```

You walk into the living room, and notice all the windows open, letting in the fresh sea air from outside. There is a stone fireplace built into the wall, the logs crackling as they burn. Also in the room is a 55" Projection TV across from a large, soft, emerald green couch. There is also a matching loveseat, and recliner, all very inviting. There is a wide, open corridor leading into the kitchen, and doors leading to the other rooms of the house. You can go out onto the beach through the sliding glass door.

Subject: Support for unencrypted connections ENDING on 03/15/19

```
 
```

As most have enabled SSL connectivity and I haven't gotten any more questions on how to enable SSL, I have set the end date for unencrypted (non-SSL) connection support for ** 03/15/19 ** (about two months from now).  If you are seeing a warning message about your connection being unencrypted when you login, then YOU need to take action before this date if you want to continue connecting to SpinDizzy.

```
  
```

I understand that for those who have not yet switched, there may be very personal or unusual technical reasons for not doing so.  In most cases, it is possible to continue using your existing client and setup if you run a secondary program to do the encryption for it.

```
  
```

You can find hints on how to make SSL work with most major platforms (including phones) at:

```
https://wiki.spindizzy.org/SSL_Help
```
```
  
```

Feel free to update the wiki with additional tips and tricks.

```
  
```

If you have any questions, you can try asking others who have switched or talk to me directly.  I can't guarantee I can solve every problem (though I will try!), but I should be able to offer advice or hints, or know someone who might be able to help.  In any case, it is not advisable to delay the switch to SSL to the last minute, as you may not get the help you need in time.

Public Dorms/Workshops(#30940RJA)

You arrive at a common social area, designed so that employees and associates of the base can live on-site, meet up and hang out together, and carry out their own personal projects here. The lobby here is furbished with a bar, and a kobold at the counter able to take your questions and orders. Dorms are available here to move into, should you be looking for residence, ranging from one to several room apartments with beds, bathrooms and living areas available and even customizable (should you desire to use them long-term). Rooms and halls are available here to be scheduled for gatherings of all sorts. Workshops are available, for all sorts of projects you might wish to work on in your own time - metalworking, electronics design, robotics engineering, and more.

Some pretty peaceful plains. There are some flowers and trees that look exotic and foreign, as if they had been taken from elsewhere and planted here. Near the trees is a rectangular portal, with an obsidian frame and a purple, pixelly interior. There's a sign next to the portal, reading "To Toasterland". There's also a large building labeled "Ice Fox Cafe" in pretty pastel colors, and a large icecream cone outside as decoration - that doesn't *seem* to be fake

        The sunless sky slowly turns orange and purple in the cool, still air.  It's getting on 5 pm in a sense.

Ice Fox Cafe
```

A rather large cafeteria made of pastel colored concrete, and colored glass windows. There's a lot of tables to sit at, and there's traditional chairs as well as cushions for folks on four legs. The cafeteria section itself has a variety of dishes with different things offered every day, but there's consistently also pizza and a salad bar alongside those options. There's an ice cream section with various kinds of ice cream, including smoothies and milkshakes. There's a second floor, but it seems like it's only there to allow for having a spiral slide down to the first! And there's a stage to give music performances.

N5 W2 (Toasterland Warp)(#387RL)
```

Some pretty peaceful plains. There are some flowers and trees that look exotic and foreign, as if they had been taken from elsewhere and planted here. Near the trees is a rectangular portal, with an obsidian frame and a purple, pixelly interior. There's a sign next to the portal, reading "To Toasterland". There's also a large building labeled "Ice Fox Cafe" in pretty pastel colors, and a large icecream cone outside as decoration - that doesn't *seem* to be fake

        The sunless sky slowly turns orange and purple in the cool, still air.  It's getting on 5 pm in a sense.

     To the east is a huge building surrounded by solar reflector bowls, power lines, and smokestacks that seem to give off no smoke.

Two bodies, one the scale of a continent and one that of an island, float serenely in the starry void. Though they seem far too small they exert a gravitational pull roughly that of an earth-sized planet.

A shining array of starships and space stations orbits the worlds, now and then lit up by the 'spindizzy-shine' off the dorsal surfaces during their day cycles. Rocky debris, swept up by the system's gravitational pull, follows along in its wake, and there's even a miniature 'Oort cloud' of small objects at the periphery that get thrown out of their orbits by the gravitatonal fields of what the system passes by in its endless journey.

```
look CSV
```

The CSV Spyglass, Space Vehicle of the Terran Commonwealth, is a craft right on the lower bounds of what could be called a capital ship. A frigate capable of atmospheric flight (and sleek enough to show it), this craft is 245 meters long, 43 in general diameter, with 'delta style' jointed and nacelled anhedral wings spanning out 179 meters tip to tip.

```
 
```

All around, the hull is fairly smooth, covered in a meshwork of plates, the main hull curved in a thin parabola over the top, the bottom shallower, though otherwise with a somewhat egg-shaped cross section. A ship of the 23rd century, deriving from the frigates of the 22nd, this ship has narrow wings in the rear, swept back and down, each wing carrying a single angularly housed triple-thruster mount under the bottom, a multilayer suspended ring behind the nozzle to assist engine gimbal and the cohesion of the exhaust stream, otherwise reminiscent of an in-wing assembly of jet engines. Each wing has a series of shallow fins on the top, a V-stabilizer extending from the rear, towering over the rest. The rear of the fuselage is a bit fattened and creased, apparantly adding atmospheric performance by turning the primary fuselage into a lifting body, an improvement over earlier frigates, the tapered nose ending with a pair of side fins that extend forward with a series of blue-light-tipped antennae, a pair of windows in the front.

```
 
```

 The overall color scheme is a classic though, the look of the late 22nd century, angular black stripes and belly with a white top and fins, a bit of orange to cross and follow the black, the black lines narrowing to denote several panels, the foremost hatches an orange with black for the hangar doors on the bottom, those doors both capable of launching small craft and acting as an entryway.

```
 
```

A network of refitted panels suggest a network of field emitters on a ship capable of adjusting its own mass. These emitters can create a kinetic barrier around the craft, an enhanced barrier of cyclonic force that swats incoming projectiles aside, the armor below coated to defend against energy fire.

```
 
```

Despite being a military-looking and military-made ship, this one's designated as a privately owned civil research craft... distinctively, those blue glows running down the dorsal area, coming from some sort of device deep within the hull and taking a lot of room, attached to the primary engine core.

```

Quodlibet-Spengo Near Space
```

What's 'near' one day may not be 'near' the next.

```

Here and now, the stars are somewhat thick and unremarkable, a few yellow, some orange, mostly red dwarfs. One orange star in particular got fancy, and is surrounded by a sparse dyson swarm, though thick enough to gather a good bit of energy. Sufficiently skilled magesight would see shimmering curves of magic orchestrating and channeling the energy. There's a single world with signs of life.

```
 
```

Home to some, the Quodlibet-Spengo system glitters like a pair of welcoming, verdant jewels, far enough away you could blot them out with your thumb.

(  off.  When recursion is set on, if the echo room has any      )

(  rooms inside of it, those rooms will be echoed to as well,    )

Xedwa-56(#32155RLJ)
```

Behold, the lingering whispers of a dead past finally coming to rest: a scorched, dead landscape of craterized brown and grey marked by broken highways and scattered ruins, seas empty of all but drifting detritus and derelicts matching the grey of the quieting skies above. The cities sleep eternal on this world; there is no birdsong, no howls of the wilds, for nothing remains beyond the broken cities but the brown and black of burnt trees and ash-strewn fields, no sound at all but the sleepy, blank howl of the wind mingling with the patter of rainfall washing the last of the ashes away.

```
 
```

The lingering radiation around the craterized remains of military bases and large cities speaks the classic tale of apocalyptic rivalry and nuclear armageddon, but even globlal nuclear wars tend to leave something left, some patches of nature that can some day recover. This world couldn't have even been that lucky. Down to even the last microbe, there is simply no lifeforce left... Eventually, this planet will resume being one more barren lifeless rock among the countless many in the universe, the oddly regular patterns of shaped stone and corroded metal the only hints that complex life ever existed here at all. At least, fortunately, someone is now present to learn from these remains before they fade completely.

```
 
```

While there are scattered settlements, secluded towers, and the occasional odd lone building scatterred around this planet there were two unique and highly developed regions apparent from the remains at large. Across the breadth of a large southern continent, a spider's web of trench-highways and railroads weaves a tattered tapestry of former civilization, stretches of variously purposed buildings made of form-flowed stone likely by earth magic spanning along these paths rather than being clumped together in conventional cities, sub-paths branching out like branches on a tree. The abundance of varied banners and symbols suggests a diverse bunch of nations composed this tapestry, all interconnected with the largest of them occupying most of the hemisphere's temperate land and once commanding its largest ports. The presence of incredibly sophisticated golems along with vehicles and machines for every concievable task, grand artworks and abundant shopping venues, and the absence of any imposing control devices suggests this used to be a fairly comfortable region to live in.

```
 
```

To the north in regions still abundantly rainy is the heart of the other stretch, showing more conventional-looking cities albeit with circular polar street grids rather than square euclidean ones. Their larger buildings thus tend to be wedge-shaped towers, surrounding the three-sided glass-and-steel pyramids at the heart of their cities. Echoes of divine magic still linger omnipresently, a pyramid temple found at the heart of every city, the larger ones hosting multiple, with sun and cloud symbols absolutely everywhere. While there are shops and such about and the condominiums don't seem that unpleasant, the shelves seem a bit more plain, the city walls and coastal fortifications hinting at a more militaristic society. There are a variety of banners seen among the northern stretches too, though they all seem to share a golden sun symbol at the center.

```
 
```

Such is history, but what of the future? No longer does the sky bear a purple hue; the now-entirely-conventional thunder has been quieting down lately, the occasional gap in the clouds spilling sun rays through the gloom. The magic once polluting the world has been condensed and removed, a glowing green stretch of land bearing spires of twisted quasi-metal the last mark of mad magic on this world where a crashed starship once was. One last echo of that dying past had been ressurected from that wreck prior, bringing from it one last glimmer of life from the old world. Or perhaps a spark, beginning a new one? This world will soon be ideal for recultivation, though an interlude persists for now. Those last relics still await.

## There are possible hidden listeners here.

Cinderglow is still using hardlines for everything close enough to the base, but there are some more distant equipment setups that carry cameras - though not -just- those. Things like airspeed monitoring, sunlight sensors ... A bunch of what Glow brought includes weather monitors, it seems. They send data -to- the base, but generally don't receive much from it, and they're certainly not arranged like a security grid. Masquerading as one probably wouldn't be too hard, since it -is- FE equipment, but there's no telling what the base itself will do with input that -isn't- what the weather stations should be sending.

Athares-is- external equipment, but not transmitting at the moment. Entirely unaware, the conversation might end up drifting to his musings on how to make analogs to Xedwan meals using Spindizzian produce, such that his new friends would be aable to enjoy them as they were meant to be enjoyed.

Chevesh ponders that, picking up and following the signal to its source as she reads the information being sent. Long enough to mentally copy it in her head. It doesn't quite happen at the level of conscious thought, in all ways... it's more based on impressions, the technical details being handled in a subconscious manner. Rather than trying to directly mimic the signals being sent, in her mind it's more like shaking hands and getting to know someone, then trying to sound like them to another computer and declare her identity convincingly enough to fool it. Reading the camera direction from the transmission, she avoids its line of sight, coming up to the assembly and pausing. Ready to take over at a moment's notice, she angles her claw into the machinery directly for the transmitter, silencing it and instantly picking up where it left off. Now she's the source of the transmission, though she's mostly just copying everything it was sending over the last few minutes. This may actually cause discrepancies between these sensors and the others arrayed around the island, since she's only looping the same data over and over again. But on her way back, she starts setting up a series of commands in advance, to be transmitted all at once on what is hopefully her new direct line into the base's systems. Without data being transmitted back to her, she can't really tell, of course.

Cinderglow is taking notes about that, sure enough. As a gracious host, it's not even via the instance of Glow that Athares is talking with. The AI's likely seen enough of the habitat to know that there are three of them in today, and enough bunks and such set up to comfortably host a dozen without hot-bunking. Based on hir current supply situation, a dozen overall seems to be an upper bound without starting to affect longevity too severely. As for the weather platforms, at the moment local conditions don't seem to be severe enough to make spotting a 'broken record' broadcast all that likely. Chevesh could loop that data for hours and not raise an alarm, aside from correcting things like timestamps.

Chevesh spends a few minutes by the door, carefully going over her directions in her head. Subconsciously, writing line after line of rapidly filled-out code, beneath her conscious notice... consciously, she's merely building her set of priorities and intentions. When her transmission changes, it is all at once, lines being dumped into the transmission one after another with almost no delay. First, a sequence of garbled transmissions that all bear an extremely high priority, packed with looping references, multiple at a time, with the intent of causing whatever program is reading it to suddenly require more and more processing power, hopefully until it crashes. Then comes a series of commands aimed at every point she can imagine within the file structure at once, aiming at anything relating to a door and sending the command to open it. Then to all lights, to shut them off. To all detection equipment at large, to attack and flood it with useless self-referential codes that are designed to cause them each and all to start drawing progressively more abundant processing power as well... ending with hopefully seizing up or even crashing the computer network, if possible. She'll remain by the exterior door to see if it works.

```
ooc is Chevesh cybernetic?
```

[OOC] Agris says, "is Chevesh cybernetic?"

Cinderglow's computers don't crash, unfortunately - they're either a bit too robust for that, or there's some level of defensive programming in place. But they're not robust enough to completely ignore Chevesh's cyberwarfare, either - all of a sudden, there's the equivalent of a zip bomb going off, and Athares + Varat may notice a sudden lack of telemetry data over the link hardware that Glow had been provided with, although the link itself is still up. Lights go down, and most doors pop open - including access to the outside right around where Chev is waiting. The base is still fully powered, though, and the computer systems have -not- gone down, so emergency lighting fails to kick in, leaving just still-active displays and the flame-tails of the few Glows present as the sole sources of light.

( Almost immediately, there is a chorus of shouted 'Fuck!'s from inside the base. )

Athares might have radio built in for convenience and practicality's sake, but he's not constantly broadband sweeping, so Chev will remain unnoticed to him, for now. That is a lot of noise on a common channel; all it'll take is something popping up where he needs to talk to the computers and that gratuitous amount of radio noise coming from where there should be nothing will be pretty obvious.

```
[OOC] Kandra says, "not exactly"
```

[OOC] Chevesh says, "She's actually a robot. In her early days, many RL years ago, she was all 'beep boop does not compute.' She seems really natural now, but it was a long and very gradual road to reach that point. She's obsessed with mimicking and emulating animals, so that's been her life's work. Now it's really easy to mistake her for a natural organic being by both personality and appearance."

Athares, well... nevermind, that's pretty obvious. He looks around, flaring his ears, curving his tail around to raise his own orb of light. "I don't think you scheduled any maintenence? Strange. If you wish, I'll go check the computer."

```

```
[OOC] Agris says, "i'd love that chevy"
```

Cinderglow whispers, "Glow doesn't yet have a taur-desc like Dawn does, but sie will soon~" to you.

Chevesh's ear perks at the sound of the door opening beside her, hidden within the gently roiling particulate cloud she's engulfed by. Rocking forward to four paws again, she curls around and walks inside, filling the corridor in the darkness with a now-unseen masking smoke, striding silently on padded paws like a ghost in the darkness. Switching to a combination of thermal and low-light vision, she can see as long as she's moving... but once she pauses, the smoke drifts forward to occlude her own sight, though it comes with a sort of radar: reading the disturbance patterns in the smoke, calculating what it means for the space it occupies beyond her vision, like a form of very simple sight without sight.

```
ooc padded paws <3
```
```
[OOC] Agris says, "padded paws <3"
```

[OOC] Chevesh says, "Note for Cinder, for when it inevitably becomes important since all of the Cinders have flaming tails: this smoke is actually combustible. Not terribly, like it doesn't go up like a bomb or fuel. More like flash paper, a brief bright flash that consumes it all quickly."

( Internal monitoring seems to almost be an afterthought, given who these habitats were meant for use by. Cameras aren't set up for coverage versus intruders, they all seem to be around exclusively to monitor important hardware instead. Damage Control aids, perhaps. And the base computer's kinda chugging anyways, although one of the three Glows hops on a terminal right away and starts clearing processes dedicated to handling outside input. The second remains with Athares, following them to the hab module that actually contains the bulk of the computing hardware. The third Glow is ... heading right for the door Chevesh & company originally showed up at the first time they visited. )

Athares indeed would be trailing right along, perhaps skipping entirely around Chev's presence depending on the layout. There won't be anything wrong at the computers though. He might suggest just rebooting them, though odds are there'll be an alert before he can reach them. One... pretty much right now in fact!

[OOC] Cinderglow says, "Notably, if Chev picked a different door this time, Glow's going to the wrong one."

[OOC] Chevesh says, "Nope. I did say it was the same door we came to earlier, so you're good."

[OOC] Cinderglow says, "Derp, I missed that. Sorry :p"

Chevesh pauses, one of her paws raised in mid-step, as she hears the sound of footsteps approaching. Well, she's content to wait for that. Sitting in the midst of her roiling black smoke, in the middle of a dark and unlit passageway, she turns and sits back on her haunches as she waits. Head down, ears perked... the smoke actually dampens sounds slightly, which is not great for her right now. But once she hears the Cinder instance come around the bend toward her, she'll loom forward, reaching out of the smoke... to slip a little antler-headband onto the Cinder who's rushing her way. Assuming it takes effect, and still enshrouded by smoke, she'll turn to usher hir forward along the path she was already taking, out the door, which she'll hook her claws into and yank shut with a screeching sound of door mechanisms being forced into place and bent. Of course, if the change doesn't happen quickly enough to transform Cinder before hir tale catches the smoke alight, they're both likely to be surprised by a brief and bright flash within the corridor.

[OOC] Chevesh says, "This is NOT a good tactical option. But I was highly amused by the Cinder point of view of this happening."

[OOC] Chevesh says, "Oh, shit, I just realized something though. I said I wasn't coming to destroy anything, and I meant it. But here I go destroying a door. Damn."

[OOC] Chevesh says, "That makes it my turn to go 'DAMMIT CHEV'"

[OOC] 'Kamare says, "You just can't help yourself."

[OOC] Chevesh says, "Apparently not. It's second nature."

[OOC] Athares says, "She really is detructo-cat..."

```
[OOC] Kandra says, "I mean"
```

[OOC] Kandra says, "If ... oh wait no it turns creatures -inflatable-.  And invincible, apparently."

[OOC] Kandra thought it was turn creatures plush.  *side eyeing Chevesh' relationship with the PQ cushions

( What Chevesh ends up getting as a result of the headbanding is ... a completely inert reindeer doll. Seems that Glow doesn't react well to forced transformations like that - something that's previously happened to Dawn, too. That Glow won't be seeing the flash-discharge of Chevesh's obscuring smoke, at least - and it can't prevent itself from being shoved outside. If the bellows of rage coming from -elsewhere- in the base are any indication, though, the rest of the Glowhive now knows. The one attending Athares abruptly abandons them, now on the hunt for Chevesh with malice in hir eyes, and the one holed up with a terminal is locking hirself in place behind shuttered doors. As a sidenote, Chev might also catch a simple computerized voice asking for Damage Control to report to the door she just broke. )

[OOC] Cinderglow says, "Depends on the headband, I think"

[OOC] 'Kamare says, "There are three I know of: inflatable, plush, and rubber."

```
[OOC] Kandra says, "Huh.  Ah."
```

[OOC] Kandra ponders whether Cinderglow's internal cognitive structure is different than Dawnwing's.

Chevesh frowns, realizing something. Her ear does perk at the bellowing, but she mostly ignores it. Slowly wrenching the door back open, she picks up the doll and looks it over, confusedly. She reaches up and removes the antler headband.

[OOC] Cinderglow says, "Dawn/Glow don't handle transformation into non-organic things well."

```
[OOC] Kandra says, "I know"
```
```
[OOC] Kandra says, "I was just like"
```

[OOC] Kandra says, "Wondering if Cinderglow is more "one mind" than Dawnwing, or something"

[OOC] Chevesh says, "I didn't know that. Dawn told me to bring these headbands along. So I thought it was cool."

[OOC] Cinderglow says, "Sie knows it'd annoy the hell out of Glow"

[OOC] Cinderglow says, "When removed, the zard in question is perfectly normal and functional again"

[OOC] Cinderglow says, "Glow's more upset because -now sie knows Chev's here-"

( Removing the band is enough to start the Doll reverting back into a Glowform, but Chevesh still has adequate time to pull the door shut again, effectively locking that part of Glow out of hir own base. )

```
( If Chev chooses to do so, that s! )
```

[OOC] Cinderglow says, "Also, as a horrible oversight, I completely forgot at the time that Dawn was even -mentioning- that, that sie'd previously had a body-disabled reaction to a transformation like that. My apologies, it's OOC error on my part."

Chevesh steps back outside along with the Glow, standing right outside of the door and keeping an ear swiveled back to listen to approaching footsteps and fury. She pulls out the other four headbands, and dumps them onto the ground in front of the glow who's still un-transforming, rumbling "That didn't really feel great. I only kill people. I don't stoop to the sort of things you do. So call that a mistake, and lesson learned." She's seeming casual, but she's prepared at a moment's notice to leap up and dash at top speed across the top of the base to another door the moment the nearby Cinder turns hostile, or she hears the footsteps bearing up on her from behind. Let them congregate at this end of the base, and she'll have an easier time rushing in from the other side.

You page-pose, "Agris SNAPS their fangs and grins" to Dawnwing.

Cinderglow is pretty much in attack mode as soon as sie -can- be, though. Chev has enough time to say her piece while Formerly-Transformed-Glow is recovering, but then footfalls draw near and the present Glow's maws start to fill with flame. There are no words, just fire, but some of it's directed at the set of headbands, leaving Chev plenty of opportunity to dodge out of the way of the rest. The base is still sufficiently fucked up that the next door Chev goes to is still wide open, but all the interior lighting is on again at this point.

In a page-pose to you, Dawnwing blushes~.

Dawnwing pages, "These ones are self-replicating ones, too~" to you.

Athares is going to follow the Glow he'd been talking to back towards Chev, albeit more with a curious look. He has a pretty long stride though; it won't be hard for him to keep up in the short journey there.

Chevesh sets her paws in the dirt and twists as soon as she drops in front of the other door. Dashing back inside... now this is more her element. For all of her suite of abilities and skills for being a classic stealthy monster in the air vents, she truly thrives on chaos, and would rather be getting chased through corridors and sneak through them. There's a part of her mind that really feels at home using predictable movements to her advantage when people are panicking or chasing her with murderous intent. And, let's be fair, it's more fun too. Turning left, she tries to take a straight path toward the far side of the base, starting to pull doors closed to split the base off from the side that the remaining Cinders are on, and searching for the computer terminal she now knows must be somewhere and turning the lights and systems back on. If she can get her claws on that computer, directly...

```
look Cinderglow
```

This is a very unusual specimen of a reasonably well-known species. A Charizard in the lesser-known 'Shiny' coloration, this is a tallish bipedal draconid mostly covered in grey-black scales with a lighter silver-grey running down hir chest all the way to the end of hir tails. A departure from the normal bodyplan of the species, sie has five heads instead of the one most would expect hir to have. About eleven feet tall at the shoulders, hir heads rise above on long, graceful necks. Each head is identical - a somewhat boxy draconic muzzle and visage, a pair of horns rising backwards from just behind the head's eyeridges and sky-blue predatory eyes.

```
  
```

Hir multiplicity doesn't just end with hir heads, though. Sie has three pars of arms, each hand sports a trio of clawed digits, one of which is able to act as a thumb for the other two if it has to. Sie also has a pair of large, leathery dragonwings, maroon on the insides of their sails and bearing the same grey-black as the bulk of hir hide everywhere else. Hir belly's a bit on the large side and hir hips are wide, held up by three-toed feet with claws bigger than those on hir hands. Sie also has three tails, each one thick and about as long as sie is tall, smoothly tapering down to a point on which Charizard's signature tailflame burns brightly.

( Many rooms in the base have terminals available, as it is. Thin clients, each and every one, distributed to nearly every room that served a purpose other than being a storage shed or closet. Most of them are even unlocked and available for hands-on use - while Glow definitely put -some- effort into trying to sanitize input from outside the base, sie seems to have made the assumption that the only person -inside- who would ever be using those terminals is hirself. The server closet itself is already closed off, with Glow only having direct control of one terminal in person right now. Probably best to avoid the room that Glow's in, if you happen to find it. )

Chevesh skids to a halt, turning toward the terminal she finds and setting her claws on it. With direct access through the impulses in her claws, moving them around a little bit until she finds the right place to hold them, she can access it more quickly than she could by typing. She quickly sets herself up with a wireless unsecured connection to this computer, and then keeps moving, doing the same to any other computers she comes upon. The first thing she'll do is shut off the lights again... legitimately, this time. Then she triggers a fire alarm warning in the first larger than average room she comes to, dashing into it and through a door to wait around a corner. Any time the lights get turned back on, she'll toggle them back off again immediately, each time from a different one of the computers she's touched.

Cinderglow, for the sake of keeping hir actual invited guest safe, would have invited Athares to travel with hir to the mainframe room. One Glow, one Athares, and a bunch of locked doors to keep those two out of chaos' way.

You page, "seeping their living fluids inside of them making them grow, supercharging their electric organs and in the proccess growing them to produce eggs" to Dawnwing.

Chevesh raises her eyebrows as she watches the doors close. Huh. Good thing she wasn't waiting directly -inside- that room. Still... it makes perfect sense that the Cinders would be concerned about setting their base on fire somehow. And it seems like a really good reason to suspect that they won't be using their fire breath indoors, even beyond the damage to their own facility. Well... alright then. She can't go through that room, so she turns and takes the corridor further around, slinking along on four paws and pausing frequently to listen for movement. It's time to go find the Dawn in the computer room, while the mainframe is rebooting.

( The doors leading into the mainframe room are as sealed as the fire-suppressant room by the time Chevesh gets there. The one Glow inside offers apologies to Athares for the fact that sie's about to have to commit violence on the surface of Xedwa, while the other two in the base are sweeping from habitat to habitat, trying to figure out where the hell Chevesh has gone now without the benefit of any of the interior systems. The weather stations outside, oblivious as ever, may reveal something to Chev if she's still listening to their transmissions - one of them has spotted one of the other Glows who had been abroad returning by air, still in the distance for now. )

In a page-pose to you, Dawnwing heehee. All that electricity makes -more- foxes?~

Dawnwing pages, "Just one Dawn can make a -very- substantial lake...~" to you.

Chevesh patiently waits, paws clasped behind her back, idly rocking back and forth on her paws as she listens for the Cinders approaching. She's really hoping she'll get all of them together in one room, but she full well realizes that's not a realistic assumption. She'll have to just hope for as many as she can draw in at once. As she waits, she starts to emit smoke again, building up a heavy cloud of it where she's standing... but then shuts it off and moves toward the side of the room the Cinder's are coming from, to wait out of view of the doorway. Allowing that cloud of smoke to linger in place for a few seconds, right as the first Cinders -should- be arriving.

In a page-pose to you, Dawnwing is -very- easy to draw reactions out of using electricity! Must be that elemental vulnerability to electrics that all 'zards share.

Athares would've tried disconnecting the remote access from the mainframe and checking its logs on reboot, but, Chev's mobile enough; knowing which terminal that one bit of nuisance came from won't be quite /that/ useful, though as it's obvious we have someone messing with the machine, he'll still leave the computer's networking disabled. While he would advise Cinderglow to try words before fire, he's not going to tell Glow not to use violence; he's seen enough of how violent this galaxy can be already in his short time since revival to know it can be necessary at times. He just hopes that's not now. Especially as he remembers Chevesh's response to the 'invitation' and hopes it's just her being a nuisance as promised, not some other alien coming to cause trouble. On hearing the knock on the door, he won't just respond, he'll walk right over to the door and use the manual override to open it if needed, stepping right out. He tries to look nonthreatening, though he is poised to use his bigness to put someone on their rump if it's truly needed, which, thankfully, it shouldn't be in this case. Yet, all he finds is a cloud of smoke anyway? Wait, that -is- one of Chevesh's abilities. "Chevesh?" He walks forward more, trying to exit the cloud, his tail swaying tensely about behind him.

Chevesh smiles and raises a paw from the other side of the room. "Hey, Athares." She rumbles, glancing toward the doorway. Then back to the black smoke, which she nods toward. "Careful, that stuff's a little bit flammable. You might lose your whiskers if it goes up."

You page, "You know, fennerctie DNA is incredibly resistant to electricity. Symbiotic with it you might say~~~ *Agris scritches you with a single clawtip* Just letting you know that~" to Dawnwing.

Cinderglow's first arrivals are a set of four, two of which are still wearing luggage-sacks adapted for flying creatures. They never bothered to take off their cargo. Flametails likely set off all that flash-smoke right away, with the Glows in question shielding their eyes. The Glow in the datacenter is instead remaining inside, determined to defend the base's computing resources at all costs, though it doesn't stop hir from shouting. "If you do not leave -right now,- Chev, I am going to -end you.-"

In a page-pose to you, Dawnwing blushes just a little! "Waste? It's just the barest of trickles," sie teases, more than happy to let you plant your mouth over the shaft tip and take a drink. Plenty of thick, rich dragonseed to be had!

Athares relaxes on spotting her, though eyes aside a hint, giving a look of 'yep, guess who'. But! He'll walk over to her, thankfully sparing himself that bit of fiery unpleasantness though he does pivot at the fwoomf. He deadpans, "Starting fires inside of a habitat is a great way to do a lot more damage than you were intending..." But, stops short of sighing at her. "I think you've made your point?"

In a page-pose to you, Dawnwing mmmmm. If sie's gonna take advantage of that electric relationship, perhaps sie needs to acquire a 'mon form that can actually use electric powers...~

page Dawnwing=:mleems,   you should share some of that size

You page-pose, "Agris mleems,   you should share some of that size" to Dawnwing.

Chevesh nods a little bit. "Yeah, well. They have a pretty good fire suppression system in here. The first one was fake. I guess that just wasn't enough to set it off... which, actually makes perfect sense, thinking about it. Can't have the suppression system be -too- sensitive, with people walking around with flames on their tails." She sighs. "I guess I won't be tanking some lungs full of halon to spit back." She purrs, smirking, and nods as she greets Athares with a hug. "I sure did make my point, I think." She glances back to the Cinders, as she rumbles, "Being a leopard... sort of... I know a thing or two about territorial behaviors. I trespassed, sure. More like I was invited, since I would have respected your boundaries if you'd just asked. Instead, you had to go making ultimatums." She nods toward the first entrance she used. "Not only did I not come here intending to kill you... I also avoided doing any damage. Eh, except for the front door... force of habit, unintended. But I could have cut through these doors. I could have even left your first instance helpless with that headband. And look at the response... Cinder's spouting hot fire, shouting about ending me. No less violent than I've ever been." She shakes her head. "You really are Kaphre. The warmonger, whenever your attempts at controlling people aren't met with success. THAT was my point. And having made it, I think I'm ready to leave."

In a page-pose to you, Dawnwing blushes. Regular hyper-sized servings of proteins could help with that...~

( "You're here to try and preach at me? Teach me a lesson? In this case, what I'm learning is that I should start dealing with you a -lot- more aggressively." Glow snorts. "Which, to my regret, I cannot do -now- as it would jeopardize the safety of the one person here who actually -was- invited. I don't care what kind of creative reinterpretation you use to justify your presence here, I told you No Entry and I meant it, and if you or any of the other Spindizzians return here uninvited I -will- enforce it. Now get out and do not come back, or you will find that I am rapidly coming to consider collateral damage acceptable." It's the one still holed up in the datacenter doing all the speaking, and when sie finishes sie remains in the doorway, blocking access. The rest of the Glows present start advancing to herd Chevesh towards the exit. )

In a page-pose to you, Dawnwing loves meeting people that can handle hir loads~

Athares, despite everything, gladly accepts the hug. He smiles a bit, gently rubbing the inside of Chev's ears as he curls his tail around her. Sure, she might be a troublemaker, but he still likes her. Nonetheless, he lets go before long. After all, she didn't have any welcome to wear out to begin with. So, he'll then offer to follow her out the exit, figuring it would be best to have a friend walk out with her than a foe throw her out. Also, it would give him a moment to talk to her in private.

[OOC] Chevesh will just have to save Arkara's gift for the PQ now.

Dawnwing pages, "Local industry helps in that regard, too. Flood avoidance in the form of extensive hypersilos, cushions made of hyperabsorbant sponge material...~" to you.

[OOC] Athares says, "It'll still be there. Or you could just refuse to be led out and proc it here if you want more chaos"

Chevesh shakes her head. "You're making the same mistake all over again, Cinder." She rumbles. "Speaking with a voice of authority you have no right to. And never seeming to learn from it." She frowns and turns to slap away Cinder's hands as sie tries to herd her out, walking out at her own pace... though gratefully accepting Athares' company on the way out all the same. If she keeps getting prodded and herded, though, she's not going to give Cinder that final token bit of satisfaction.

[OOC] Chevesh says, "No, I think this is good. I think this made the point perfectly, and it's ending on a pretty decent note. I would have used it earlier if I'd gotten more Cinders together."

```
[OOC] Athares nods!
```

Cinderglow is, unfortunately, absolutely the sort to try to bull Chevesh right out of the building. Sie sees it as hir personal lair, after all. Bodyblocking dragons getting uncomfortably close is going to be A Thing until Chevesh is outside and the doors are locked again.

[OOC] Chevesh says, "On second thought..."

Athares, giving that calmly-mildly-frustrated look to the both of them, would nonetheless try to somewhat-but-not-really-subtly put himself between Chev and Glow in an attempt to stop things from escalating further on the way out. Granted, as there is only one of him and several of Glow, this might not be very effective.

Chevesh looks to Athares, then back to crowding Cinders, gritting her teeth and looking as though she's heavily considering something... and uncharacteristically, it's not even really something that bad. She does it to friends as a form of affection. And maybe that's what really stops her, though it's also Athares trying to interpose himself. So she'll keep pushing back, but she'll eventually allow herself to get herded out of the complex, though it burns her deep to give any such concession.

Athares follows Chev out, at a more comfortable distance once Glow isn't pressuring them. He eyes back to the door once it closes, then back to Chev, rubbing behind an ear. "I'll admit I don't really personally like Cinderglow much either, Femashu even less so. Maybe I'm naive in thinking they're tragically misguided... but I'm hoping at least that this research will ensure what happened here doesn't become a galactic terror. Goodness knows there are enough such weapons already around..." He muses at that. Is this even really worthwhile after all? At least, the research is being openly published, so it's not like this is some sort of top secret galactic domination project. "Still, I'm here. Is there anything I can do to help ease your worries?"

Chevesh turns back to Athares once he starts speaking, and shakes her head. "No. But you're right about there being a lot of such weapons around already." She rumbles. "Every day, I wander past weapons that can easily kill planets... or worse. Much worse. They're available to anyone. Sometimes, they could be set off by accident. I'm sorry to say, what happened to Xedwa could be done in a hundred different, easier and more efficient ways." She taps her lips with a finger, idly flicking her tail. "In one way... it's actually a good thing, you know? The universe is full of terrors, unassuming beings with unfathomable power. But the fact that the weapons are what they are, as horrible as they are, means that you're never too small to fight back. Never too small and weak to not have -some- way to have a say in your own existence. Even if the price is horribly large. And on the other, the bad side... it means that wiping out worlds has become so easy, nobody's fighting over killing eachother anymore. Now everyone's only interested in controlling people, taking away their ability to determine their own lives." She glances back to the door, frowning, and mutters, "Femashu and her people claim to have a good cause. But it's all lies. It's an empire built entirely on self-serving selfishness. And not the mostly benign form of selfishness... the kind that feeds on the will of entire worlds of people as fuel. There's no drop of nobility to it, no shred of benevolence. Those are all lies. It's all about feeling good about having people under your boot."

Athares says, "I really do wish Femashu would behave herself on the galactic scene, to say the least." He subtly droops a bit. "And I think a lot of her more dedicated followers are like Cinderglow. They want a mistress to guide them and a cause to serve, even if it isn't the best one; Cinderglow might be abrasive and callous at times, but I'm fairly certain that Cinderglow truly believes in Femashu's cause." Which makes this all the more tragic, he muses. He eyes aside a bit, curling his tail around himself. "I've always considered these kinds of superweapons to be tools tyrants use to terrify lesser peoples into submission, but you have a point. In the world I knew, that was because these weapons could only be built and used by large powers. In the wider galaxy, anyone can level a city, and that's where it starts..." He finally does sound a sigh. "Is it selfish that I don't want to see my world's legacy be yet another means to that?..."

```
look Athares
```

Big, fluffy, friendly, that's Athares in a nutshell. This form of his is a finely made replica of a Xedwan; his body plan is similar enough to most Spindizzians to be cross-compatible in a majority of cases with features vaguely reminiscent of mice with a bit of dog and monkey thrown in. He stands average in height for a Xedwan, which puts him about two heads taller than most Spindizzians, his fur an earthy brown with dark grey markings seen in spots such as the back of his hands, ears, and the tip of his tail. He's built in an idealized manner, a fit and healthy looking body showing musculature analogous but not quite identical to terragen standard, suited to climbing on rocky slopes as well as trees. His eyes are a deep blue with round pupils and no discernable boundary between iris and sclera, always keenly focused on something, the window to an inquisitive mind and soul.

His fur thins to show black skin on the palms of his four-digit hands, the bottoms of his plantigrade feet, on the tip of his wiggly nose, and the insides of his ears, said ears dangling floppily along the sides of his somewhat mouselike head in doglike style. A long dark-red tongue normally sits behind semi-pointy omnivorous teeth well hidden in his snout; seems Xedwan blood used something analogous to hemoglobin. He has a long tail as well, thin but prehensile enough to hold things with small tufts of dark grey fur hanging from it. There's a ridge along his back over his spine, not obstructive but noticeable, looking more an extension of his ribs than his spine; one of a few hints that, familiar as his body plan looks, there are a few important differences on the inside. Another example of how, even in closely-matching optima, this wide open universe has many answers for any problem. How many have yet to be found?

```
Carrying: Rainy-Day Clothes
```
```
lookat Athares's Rainy
```

A sleek grey raincoat with a hood, blue waterproofed jeans, and thick black leather boots comprise the visible parts of this outfit, all tailored to fit a Xedwan. While Xedwans are fluffy enough to not need much in the way of extra insulation, it's always nice to keep the water and snow off, making this an example of typical winterwear as well. The jeans have a button-down tailsleeve for the sake of keeping one's tail from getting soaked, waterproof yet still flexible enough to still allow grasping. While the hood on the coat normally suffices, he also has goggles, normally hanging from his neck, optionally over his eyes if the weather gets particularly troublesome.

Chevesh mutters, "Then it sounds like Cinderglow needs to have better taste. And -much- higher standards." She glances back up, and shakes her head, sighing. She steps over and hugs him, nodding. "Yes, Athares. Yes, it is absolutely selfish." She pauses for a moment, before continuing. "But that doesn't make it a bad thing. You want the legacy of your world to mean something bigger than that. Just because it's for selfish reasons doesn't mean you shouldn't embrace it. Everyone needs to be a little bit selfish, you know? Because nobody else is going to dream that dream for you. You have to start with your own needs, and your own desires, before thinking about turning your mind toward the needs and desires of others." She shrugs. "The universe isn't really going to miss not having Xedwa's weapon of destruction. But if you'd rather not have your world's name attached to such a thing, then that's understandable. Xedwa has lots of brilliant innovations that it's worthy of being known for. Just... be careful what insights you share with Cinder and Femashu. Anything they learn that can be turned toward subjugating people almost certainly will be." She thinks for a moment, flicking her tail. "Femashu's empire certainly doesn't need superweapons. They've got oppressively large fleets of warships, armies, warheads, bio-weapons... most insidious of all, mind-weapons and ways to control what people think and feel. The worst of all kinds of weapon. In a world without weapons, people like Femashu are free to do whatever they want to people, and they're the only people who benefit."

Athares(Z)[Myril] pages, "Thankya!" to you.

[OOC] Chevesh says, "Nobody back home is ever going to believe that Chevy came here and was peaceful and nonviolent."

Athares looks at her for a moment as she hugs again, then closing his eyes to wrap his arms around her, lowering down a bit so he can rest his nose atop her head, gently holding her against himself. Nobody else is going to dream that dream... it's a lot for him to take in, a new way of thinking about things, but it does make sense.

[OOC] Agris says, "feel super bad i didn't get to see it"

[OOC] Chevesh says, "Femashu's vision is to unite all worlds she can reach under a single imperial rule, and force peace so that people can't fight."

Athares looks at her for a moment as she hugs again, then closing his eyes to wrap his arms around her, lowering down a bit so he can rest his nose atop her head, gently holding her against himself. Nobody else is going to dream that dream... it's a lot for him to take in, a new way of thinking about things, but it does make sense. "You're right. And part of why I'm here is also to make sure Cinderglow's work is being published. There are a number of things here Femashu would be interested in... similar as our artifice is to technology on the surface, magic still can touch the soul in ways purely physical works can't. I just hope that if it's published for all to see, it won't be a surprise should she use it for ill ends, and that others will be able to create countermeasures to whatever she does." He then perks slightly. "A world without weapons; that sounds similar to Patashu's goal of rendering warfare trivial and nonlethal. If his vision comes to pass, then it'll only be through means of mind and soul that politics plays out. I've begun to notice that his weapons are of a kind popular with pirates, tyrants... slavers... have you explained this to him?"

[OOC] Agris says, "i'm curious about the first kind"

Chevesh rumbles with a purr, flicking her tail as she rests with her head under Athares' chin warmly. Then she splays her ears, frowning a little bit. "Mmm... SpinDizzy already has a soul trade, unfourtunately. Though I'm sure your methods are much, much different. Hoping for countermeasures, yeah... I don't know whether I have a vulnerable soul or not. Souls were only... let's say, theoretical, before I came to SpinDizzy." She glances up, at the last part, her ears swiveling the rest of the way back, and she quietly rumbles "No... now that you mention it, I don't think I ever had really discussed it with him. Though I've mentioned it in passing, certainly, and pointed out how purely nonlethal weapons only seem more benign because people only consider the moment of the shot... and not the potential aftermath. I've been, sort of waging a war against all slavery on Quodlibet. So it's been on my mind... maybe I should bring it up. But Thea's usually said everything I can think to say on it. I can't really add anything. I can just point out that it's true with a second voice."

look Kamare
```

A fox stands before you, with rust-red fur, fading smoothly to white on her tummy, neck, and the tip of her tail, but black 'socks' on her hands and feet. She has startling green eyes, which glance at you for a moment, before flitting elsewhere. She's short - maybe 5-foot-6 - and slender, without much muscle definition either. Atop her head are two large fennec ears, and her tail is long and bushy, and surprisingly flexible. Flowing down her neck and shoulders is a full head of fire-red hair, immaculately groomed. In her mouth are gleaming white teeth, and a long, thick, and flexible tongue. She also has a set of three parallel scars along her left side, reaching from just below the armpit to the hip.

She also has a pair of wings attached just below her shoulders, where you might expect the bottom of her shoulder blades to be. When fully extended, they look almost like giant spindly arms with even longer fingers, with a scaled membrane running between each one, and then connecting onto her side from the innermost finger. In total, her wingspan is probably about 2 metres.

The fox isn't wearing any clothing, save for a belt around her middle, but her natural fur coat more than makes up for it. It's quite thick, but well-groomed so as not to be shaggy. Her fur also keeps her properly decent. There's nothing on her digitigrade feet either, but it doesn't seem to bother her. On one finger she wears a plain golden ring, with an inscription so small it can barely be seen, and in writing unfamiliar to you. Around her neck hangs a clear, perfectly formed crystal, in a golden setting attached to a golden chain. Hanging from a ring attached to her belt, down her side, is a bone arrowhead tied to a length of leather string.

Athares listens in, nosing along the top of Chev's head as he holds the hug a moment more before letting go. "The soul trade... it was a rare thing in the world I knew, but it did happen. It was considered a high crime under universal jurisdiction, worse than slavery. I think the only reason it isn't seen that way elsewhere is that less magical civilizations aren't as familiar with souls and how important they are... No soul is invulnerable, but I think yours is relatively safe. You have an abundance of willpower, and that means a lot, even if you don't wield magic yourself." He then listens in further. "You've given me a lot to think about. I might talk this over with Patashu myself some time, though for now..." He smiles faintly. "I should probably go explain to Cinderglow that we're not conspiring to make more trouble out here."

Chevesh nods, purring and nuzzling Athares before letting go. "And, I should get going... it's a long flight back home. But thanks. I didn't really expect you to be able to say anything that'd put me more at ease, but you really have." She smirks. "It's almost like you're programmed to be a diplomat, or something." She looks back to her boat, and sighs. "Well. Goodnight, Athares. Sincerely, truthfully hoping I didn't wind up harming your relationship with Cinder at all. You can feel free to paint me a monster if you need to. It's usually true."

Xedwa-56(#32155RLJ)
```

Behold, the lingering whispers of a dead past finally coming to rest: a scorched, dead landscape of craterized brown and grey marked by broken highways and scattered ruins, seas empty of all but drifting detritus and derelicts matching the grey of the quieting skies above. The cities sleep eternal on this world; there is no birdsong, no howls of the wilds, for nothing remains beyond the broken cities but the brown and black of burnt trees and ash-strewn fields, no sound at all but the sleepy, blank howl of the wind mingling with the patter of rainfall washing the last of the ashes away.

```
 
```

The lingering radiation around the craterized remains of military bases and large cities speaks the classic tale of apocalyptic rivalry and nuclear armageddon, but even globlal nuclear wars tend to leave something left, some patches of nature that can some day recover. This world couldn't have even been that lucky. Down to even the last microbe, there is simply no lifeforce left... Eventually, this planet will resume being one more barren lifeless rock among the countless many in the universe, the oddly regular patterns of shaped stone and corroded metal the only hints that complex life ever existed here at all. At least, fortunately, someone is now present to learn from these remains before they fade completely.

```
 
```

While there are scattered settlements, secluded towers, and the occasional odd lone building scatterred around this planet there were two unique and highly developed regions apparent from the remains at large. Across the breadth of a large southern continent, a spider's web of trench-highways and railroads weaves a tattered tapestry of former civilization, stretches of variously purposed buildings made of form-flowed stone likely by earth magic spanning along these paths rather than being clumped together in conventional cities, sub-paths branching out like branches on a tree. The abundance of varied banners and symbols suggests a diverse bunch of nations composed this tapestry, all interconnected with the largest of them occupying most of the hemisphere's temperate land and once commanding its largest ports. The presence of incredibly sophisticated golems along with vehicles and machines for every concievable task, grand artworks and abundant shopping venues, and the absence of any imposing control devices suggests this used to be a fairly comfortable region to live in.

```
 
```

To the north in regions still abundantly rainy is the heart of the other stretch, showing more conventional-looking cities albeit with circular polar street grids rather than square euclidean ones. Their larger buildings thus tend to be wedge-shaped towers, surrounding the three-sided glass-and-steel pyramids at the heart of their cities. Echoes of divine magic still linger omnipresently, a pyramid temple found at the heart of every city, the larger ones hosting multiple, with sun and cloud symbols absolutely everywhere. While there are shops and such about and the condominiums don't seem that unpleasant, the shelves seem a bit more plain, the city walls and coastal fortifications hinting at a more militaristic society. There are a variety of banners seen among the northern stretches too, though they all seem to share a golden sun symbol at the center.

```
 
```

Such is history, but what of the future? No longer does the sky bear a purple hue; the now-entirely-conventional thunder has been quieting down lately, the occasional gap in the clouds spilling sun rays through the gloom. The magic once polluting the world has been condensed and removed, a glowing green stretch of land bearing spires of twisted quasi-metal the last mark of mad magic on this world where a crashed starship once was. One last echo of that dying past had been ressurected from that wreck prior, bringing from it one last glimmer of life from the old world. Or perhaps a spark, beginning a new one? This world will soon be ideal for recultivation, though an interlude persists for now. Those last relics still await.

Highest Point in Spindizzy(#9575RLJ)

The highest anyone in Spindizzy can reach. As you look down you notice the small little rock all call Spindizzy. The land, the sea, mountains, buildings, and those who have sharp eyes, the people moving around.

As you look above you notice that the stars are starting to become brighter and the blue sky is becoming less blue. Going further up means that one will enter space itself and see Spindizzy for what is truly is.

Existance itself can take many forms and life must always have a starting point. The life here has travelled far from where it started, though. Two bodies, one the scale of a continent and one that of an island, float serenely in the starry void. Though they seem far too small they exert a gravitational pull roughly that of an earth-sized planet.

A shining array of starships and space stations orbits the worlds, now and then lit up by the 'spindizzy-shine' off the dorsal surfaces during their day cycles. Rocky debris, swept up by the system's gravitational pull, follows along in its wake, and there's even a miniature 'Oort cloud' of small objects at the periphery that get thrown out of their orbits by the gravitatonal fields of what the system passes by in its endless journey.

look Kepler
```

The sail is the biggest part. A round profile made of triangular sections, terribly shiny, all pieced together, stiffened with struts around the edges and held together with monofilament cables. Far in front, connections almost invisible, is a small capsule holding cabin and payload and instrumentation. Spherical and clear.

```
look DSRV
```

This craft is not really strikingly formidible, not sleek nor glowy, rather, a wide expanse of trussworks and modules, hearkening back to simpler times in space exploration yet with a sort of peaceful elegance about it, a dedicated space ship through and through. 143 meters from bow plate to engine nozzle, and a good 120 from radiator-tip to radiator-tip. It has a sort of mushroom-like silhouette, with a broad ablative shield at the front and wide black-blue solars, radiators, and engine at the rear. Along the central conduit and truss of this deep space research vessel, the name 'DSRV Endless Freefall' is seen printed in red.

```
 
```

The core piece of the craft is its spine, a long white trussed conduit running the length of the craft, the front third traversable and pressurized, the rear two thirds lined with four silvery propellant tanks covered in gold foil, placed among massive radiators attached to an octahedral thermonuclear-thermal rocket engine and associated turbine generator. The accordioning radiators, sixfold symmetric, can get hot enough to glow a dim red after a long enough thrust time. A Sergaloid unified symbol is shown on the thermonuclear engine, a Confed manufacture logo on the cylindrical skiplight module ahead of it, encased in a baffled aluminum shroud, the faintest twists of light suggesting the cowl only anchors a structure extending out of the cosmic plane. The rocket itself has a strongly focused exhaust beam behind a D-D fusion reactor, recently declassified Sergaloid stealth tech put to peaceful use, keeping sensor sight clear.

```
 
```

The front is where most of work is done. A four-way docking port with airlock is present between two counter-rotating centrifugal gravity hubs, each carrying a donut-shaped module. A life support core with associated radiators is usually seen near the frontmost module, the rear showing several robotic arms behind it over metal grids where various experiment modules can be carried and deployed. Ahead of it all, the large ablative shield, serving both to protect the rest of the ship from high energy particles, and to serve as an impact target for the analysis of said particles, all ahead of trussed booms carrying various scientific-grade sensor packages networked interferometrically. A fairly sizable share of this ship's mass and silhouette area is dedicated to sensors it seems, detecting and analyzing a broad range of particles along with a broad sweep of the gravitic and EM spectra. If one wishes to board, they may [board freefall] through the airlocks.

DSRV Eternal Freefall: Corridor(#14341RLJ)

An amber-and-grey ribbed tunnel extends 'upwards' along the ship's axis of thrust, generally in freefall, though with a ladder of metal hand holds provided in case, for some reason or another, one needs to move to other modules while the ship is thrusting. Otherwise, one sees several lines and cables trailing along the interior, silvery grey metal rings with regular holes in them providing the ribbing, similar struts keeping this otherwise thin-walled tunnel rigid.

A metallic foil covers most of the interior, amber brown, merging into the conduit insulation. From those conduits, several vents cycle air, a dull humming heard from the pipes, soft white lights spaced evenly along the entire corridor. Several storage compartments are also available along the length, each able to be marked and delegated as needed.

The 'top' of the corridor, towards the nose of the craft, houses the cockpit, which doubles as a storm shelter, hidden safely against the ship's ablative shielding. Right 'below' that is the first module, a rotating ring with white laddered shafts heading relative-down into a donut of hab, rotating while the craft's floating, not rotating when the craft's either maneuvering or thrusting. In the center is a cylindrical 'bulge' holding a cargo volume suitable for spare parts, suits, and supplies, not much more, with two zero-gee docking ports and airlocks attached.

All the way at the rear, another bulge houses a slew of equipment, looking a bit like a mad scientist's kitchen for zero-gee cooking with various platters, tools, odds and ends velcro-strapped down, another rotating ring dividing it down the center, leading out to the variable-gravity laboratory module. Finally, all the way at the back has a robot control panel and interface for checking on the rockets and reactors, though anything major will need a spacewalk.

```
```
DSRV Eternal Freefall: Lab Module
```

The lab section of the ship consists of two parts, first a cylincrical central hub for zero-gee work and the torus attached to it for variable-gee work. The foil-and-girder framework continues in here, a handhold around the opening leading 'up' into the corridor, with a pair of opposing ladder-equipped tubes heading out into the torus, usually working at low gravity. Up to 1.5 g may be produced if an experiment demands it, though generally such conditions are more suited to surface-bound research.

The hub contains all of the control and analysis hardware for the zero-gee platforms outside, seats, screens, and joysticks available for controlling the robotic arms with a total of two stations. Certain synthesis machines ring about the wall as well, metal racks for samples nearby, all hand tools velcro'd down around it. Some particular materials, assemblies (particularly the finest nanotech), and nebulous phenomena can only be assembled in freefall, and those are available here, silvery machines connected with insulated conduits producing the purest of samples, albeit at a slow rate.

Some of the more visually interesting procedures are done in the torus; after all visually interesting usually entails a risk of a mess, far less of a problem in low gravity than in freefall. The torus ribbing also carries an array of conduits, a liquid nitrogen moderated cooling system, closed cycle, keeping superconductors cool, providing very high power for heavy machinery. One particular machine built into the torus is a multipurpose torus accelerator, useful as a mass driver for kinetic tests, or as a small particle accelerator.

Several design philosophies are seen in the details of the machines, as they were cherry picked from the very best scientific hardware several starfaring races had to offer. All around, this is the place to go to study and reproduce any curious blink-of-an-eye anomaly caught by sensors, or pick apart the secrets of any curious artifact brought aboard.

DSRV Eternal Freefall: Cockpit
```

The corridor ends in a rather cramped but functional space, narrowly enough room for one person in the front, enough for three cramped together, though if there is anything comforting about this 'tin can' of a room, it's that it's the most heavily shielded part of the craft, a handy storm shelter in case the craft gets caught in inclimate space weather.

The front compartment has a fairly comfortable looking seat with a double strap, a bit upscale for a taller than normal occupant though with barely enough room around it to get into it. It's surrounded by several consoles, no windows at all though a pair of screens show camera views, all directions including docking port cameras. Two joysticks are available, one for translation, one for rotation, with an engineering console for planning burns (there's no 'throttle stick' nor need for one). Several autopilots are available for autoalignment, handling rotation, and stationkeeping, should there only be one (or none) aboard. Communications are also handled here, along with all navigations. Most matters are easily automated though; after all, this ship is designed to run on a crew of 0-3 mission depending.

Below that is a rather plain silvery grey metal cylinder, buried well within the ship's ablative shield, with several compartments for stowing provisions. The walls are smooth but plated, a cylindrical handhold rail held above the entrance to the corridor.

All the way at the rear, another bulge houses a slew of equipment, looking a bit like a mad scientist's kitchen for zero-gee cooking with various platters, tools, odds and ends velcro-strapped down, another rotating ring dividing it down the center, leading out to the variable-gravity laboratory module. Finally, all the way at the back has a robot control panel and interface for checking on the rockets and reactors, though anything major will need a spacewalk.

Quodlibet-Spengo Orbit
```

Existance itself can take many forms and life must always have a starting point. The life here has travelled far from where it started, though. Two bodies, one the scale of a continent and one that of an island, float serenely in the starry void. Though they seem far too small they exert a gravitational pull roughly that of an earth-sized planet.

A shining array of starships and space stations orbits the worlds, now and then lit up by the 'spindizzy-shine' off the dorsal surfaces during their day cycles. Rocky debris, swept up by the system's gravitational pull, follows along in its wake, and there's even a miniature 'Oort cloud' of small objects at the periphery that get thrown out of their orbits by the gravitatonal fields of what the system passes by in its endless journey.

board butterfly
```

There's room for a few if they don't mind being cozy. A few compartments, one for living and sterring, one for cargo, and one to hold machinery. The cockpit is just one corner of the largest room, holding analogue flight computers and various 'fly by wire' controls, hooked by servos to actuators on the sails to adjust the angles. The rest of the room is filled with random detritus, a few nets to hold people, and stocks of food suitable for zero-gee use. Behind a door in one corner is a Space Toilet.

The machine room holds a power supply for the lights and actuators, chemical propellants for the emergency rockets, tools, communications equipment, and air recycling.

The cargo hold is empty, though the walls have been covered with bouncy, air-filled cushions, including the back of the door.

    To use:
```

       @set <vehicle>=_listen/veh:<this program's number>

    The <vehicle> must be an object type THING, have its V-flag

    set, and not be set DARK.  Also, it will not operate if the

    You can also use @pecho and @oecho on the <vehicle> to change

```

  If a room is DARK, then when people besides the owner 'look' there, they only

see things they own. If a thing or player is DARK, then "look" does not list

that object in the room's Contents:. Players can set rooms they own dark, and

may also set objects they own dark, but they cannot drop dark objects in rooms

they don't control. Wizards can set players dark.

When a program is set DARK, it is called DEBUG, and a running stack trace is

printed out to any users of the program for each instruction executes.

```
help vehicle

```
@SET <thing>=V
```
```
  
```

  Objects of TYPE_THING, that have the VEHICLE flag set, can contain

players.  To enter a vehicle, you can either use a MUF program to

teleport you to it via MOVETO, you can get a wizard to @teleport you

into it, or else you an use an action that is both attached and linked

to the vehicle to enter it.  This means that you can only enter a vehicle

from the same room that it is in, and you cannot use far links to enter

it.  This prevents the use of vehicles to get around locks.  Inside the

vehicle, you will see it's @idesc, instead of it's @desc, and you will

not be shown it's @succ or @fail.  Objects dropped in a vehicle will not

go away to the their homes, as a vehicle cannot have a dropto set in it.

Things with the VEHICLE flag set cannot enter rooms or use exits that

have the VEHICLE flag set.  This allows a way to prevent vehicles from

entering areas where it would be illogical for them to be.

When VEHICLE is set on a program, it is called VIEWABLE, and enables the

help propdirs
```

Properties are stored in AVL trees, and organized into directories of

  properties.  This speeds things up, and keeps you from being spammed on

  examines.  To examine the properties on an object, use 'ex <obj>=<propdir>'.

  where to examine the base properties in an object, <propdir> would be '/'.

  You can see the value of a single property with 'ex <object>=<propname>'.

      Propdirs are a method of storing and organizing properties to speed

    access and to provide a sort of built-in organization.  The basic idea

    is to make something similar to a 'filesystem' for properties.  In this

    analogy, each person would be a filesystem, with a root directory and

    (theoretically) an infinite number of properties beneath that.

      A property has been expanded with the idea that each property may now

    contain a new property list -- the 'propdir'.  properties can both have

    a value (either integer or string as before) _and_ contain other

```
    properties.
```

      The actual directory entries may ALSO contain data.  Propdirs' only

    real 'visible' changes are in the names of properties -- '/' is used as

    the property directory separator, and so will not appear in the names

    of the properties when listed through 'examine' or MUF programs.

      Property protections have also been expanded -- the . and _ may appear

    either at the beginning of the property name or immediately following a

    '/', and that property will have the appropriate protections.  For

    example, the property '/mail/.inbox/mesg/#' would have the same

```
    protections as '.mesg#' would now.
```

    There are two ways to remove a property list:

      * First, and most straight forward, is to remove the property that

        contains it.  so, in the previous example, removing the property

        '/mail/.inbox' would (recursively) remove all properties under

        .inbox before removing .inbox itself.

      * The second way is to remove all properties within the property list

        yourself.  When the last property is removed, the parent property

        (the one that contained the property list) is examined to see if

        contains data.  If it does, then the property list only is

        removed.  If the property doesn't contain data then it is removed

```
        also.
```

      Because of the first method of removing propdirs, the ability to have a

    property list and value in the same property should be used sparingly.

      If you try to access a property ending in '/', in MUF, it will give a

    programmer error, except in NEXTPROP, in which it will give the name of

```
    the first property in that propdir.
```

      The last visible, non-MUF change that propdirs bring is that 'examine'

    will no longer show properties _directly_.  Instead, where the properties

    would normally be shown, it will say:

        "[ Use 'examine <object>=/' to list root properties. ]"

      Examine now can take an argument which is the property or propdir to

    view.  If the property name given ends with a '/', all properties in

    property directory will be listed, otherwise the single property named

```
    will be shown.
```

      Internally, a few things changed.  property lists are now stored as AVL

    trees instead of straight lists, so there is a speed increase even if

    propdirs are not directly used.  This also means properties are kept in

    sorted order and will be displayed that way.

      'addprop' will no longer allow a ":" in the property name.

      To clear a propdir's value without deleting the proptree below it,

```
    from MUF do a '"" 0 addprop' to it.
```

      A property can *not* have both a string and integer stored at the same

    time anymore.  The old property.c was lax and allowed this, even though

    the integer value would be lost on dbload.

Highest Point in Spindizzy(#9575RLJ)
```

The highest anyone in Spindizzy can reach. As you look down you notice the small little rock all call Spindizzy. The land, the sea, mountains, buildings, and those who have sharp eyes, the people moving around.

As you look above you notice that the stars are starting to become brighter and the blue sky is becoming less blue. Going further up means that one will enter space itself and see Spindizzy for what is truly is.

Patashu's Personal Quarters(#29396RLJA)
```

While the base is constantly busy manufacturing and researching and testing and shipping and soforth, Patashu often desires to have a space of his own to work on personal projects or to have discussions with friends and associates. The quarters start with an open foyer of sorts - having a lounge and holographic computer systems, workbenches and scientific equipment and a table (with the company logo emblazoned in gold along its surface) that can be used for conferences, gaming and eating just as easily. (Of course, there are amneties for organic visitors - food, water, beds and all!) (Oh yes, and there IS a pile of 'cushions' and 'beanbags'.) From the holographic screens, all activity of the base can be monitored, and base databases/security feeds accessed. Off to one side, a personal hangar has a huge, rotary rack of different robotic parts and even alternate bodies that can be swapped into and out of, as well as a maintenance system with automated scaffold lined with robotic arms. Kobolds clean, maintain and can be called upon for any necessary task. Posters and blueprints line many of the walls, some of them of products the base builds, some of them gaming related or based on legendary mecha, and the noise of the surrounding base is (mostly) dampened.

Among the Cushions, you see it is empty.

        You see a strange insectoid creature, which looks like someone had magnified an insect to about human size. It has the general looks of a wasp, with a large vespine abdomen --- bulbous but pointed near the end --- and a set of thin wings on the back of its thorax. Yet its stance resembles that of a mantis: it has four thin legs to stand on sprouting from its thorax, and two arms to grab things with. As opposed to the raptorial arms of a mantis, the arms of this creature look similar to pincers. The insides are covered with sharp spikes. Despite looking fierce, the pincers are usually safely tucked away next to the elongated 'neck' sprouting from the thorax, behind the insectoid's head.

        Its head has a triangular shape, including a wide variety of mantis-like mandible pieces. Two antennae sprout from its head between its large compound eyes, elegantly curving back and upwards. The two eyes, however, are more spherical than those of a mantis. As light reflects off of the compound eyes, they shimmer a colorful star-shaped iridescent pattern, making it seem like the creature is constantly staring at the light source. But looks can deceive: these are merely pseudopupils. Nobody knows what the creature may be looking at right now.

        The insect moves in smooth, slow motions, its head twitching as it moves so as to stabilize its eyes. Its abdomen increases and decreases in size periodically, as it uses its abdomen to breathe. Occasionally, its head tilts, and the creature moves its front leg upwards to start nibbling on it. Its speech sounds like a series of chitters and clicks, and it has a rather insectoid sound quality. Even so, its communication is somehow perfectly understandable to you.

```

The critter before you appears to be some sort of wolf, but what an unusual wolf she is! Her fur is ivory in colour, long and soft, giving her a very plush feel, broken only by a number of golden metallic spikes jutting out of her arms, knees, hips, and chest, and two matching horns come from her head. She has very striking eyes, the irises golden on the outside, but glittering emerald green on the inside, framed by her full head of fire-red hair that cascades down her neck and shoulders. And she's tall, very tall - easily reaching 10 feet if she stood up straight, but her legs remain bent and her back is slightly hunched, making her feel a little less imposing.

She has a slight overbite on her muzzle, with the two front teeth noticeably protruding past her lower jaw, looking very much like a pair of fangs. Her lupine ears poke out through her hair, and swivel this way and that, twitching at every sound. Moving down, her tail is long and fluffy, fluffier than it has any rights to be, while also being incredibly flexible.

She also has a pair of wings attached just below her shoulders, about where the bottom of her shoulder blades would be. When fully extended, they look almost like giant, furry, spindly arms, with even longer fingers, and a thin cream-coloured membrane running between each one, and then connecting onto her side from the innermost finger. In total, her wingspan is probably about four metres.

The wolf isn't wearing any clothing, save for a belt around her middle, but her natural fur coat more than makes up for it. It's quite thick, but well-groomed so as not to be shaggy. Her fur also keeps her properly decent. There's nothing on her digitigrade feet either, but it doesn't seem to bother her. On one finger she wears a plain golden ring, with an inscription so small it can barely be seen, and in writing unfamiliar to you. Around her neck hangs a clear, perfectly formed crystal, in a golden setting attached to a golden chain. Hanging from a ring attached to her belt, down her side, is a bone arrowhead tied to a length of leather string.

This isn't one piece of equipment so much as three related bits. There's a tiny throat-mic affixed via a small silver bump held on with a narrow black band, a pair of slight behind-the-ear press-on - likely bone conduction - earbuds, and a slender haptic sensor screen worn over the non-dominant forearm.

bus
```

A sleek tram rushes around the corner at high speed with a startling sonic boom, stopping only at the last possible second to let you on.  You get an odd feeling as you step on...

```
Spindizzy Tram System
```

   Thick pale pink carpeting lays underfoot, the cabin of the monorail

pressurized by hidden vents whose hissing you can softly hear as you make

yourself comfortable, perhaps upon one of the nearby plush-upholstered swivel

chairs or soft modular sofas. The spacious tubular cabin of Patricia resembles

the shape of a grand aircraft and is richly decorated, with a cozy bistro at

one far end of the compartment, and a harpsichord lit by a baby spotlight at

another. There are no windows, but indirect lighting glows from panels high on

the walls. A chandelier dangles at the halfway point of the cabin's length,

pivoting gently in response to the light-speed motions of the tram.

```
  
```

   The engines wind to life and, as the floor thrums with their power, the

gentle cant of Patricia's automated voice sounds; the feminine voice first

soothing to the ears, but soon running off into a wild garble of high-pitched

garbling, sobbing, and crazed giggling that leaves you wondering if this

monorail is exactly the safest way around..

```
 
```

   "Welcome to Patricia. Praise the Imperium! Please make sure your

transit-card is available for collection and remember that false boarding is

a serious crime punishable by law. We hopehopeHOPE you enjoy your trip, but

not the faaallllll. ALL EXITS ARE NOW CLOSED. PLEASE STAY FOR THE SHOW. WHY

WON'T YOU STA--STOP, YOU'RR.R.R..E MAKING FUN OF MhMHME.."

        Stars shine brightly all over the sky, the star-field slowly shifting in the freezing air.  It's about 2 am from the way the place feels.

Agris requests Archway to Tesseract Apts.  Patricia steps on the gas, pinning everyone against their seats.  Archway to Tesseract Apts is reached in a blink of the eye.

```
out
```

You try and leave Patricia, but she doesn't like that idea!  After some carefully chosen words, she lets you out via an exit.

```
Archway to Tesseract Apts
```

A broad archway separates Tesseract Gardens Apartments from the street outside. Set into each side is a small wrought iron gate with an engraved wooden sign: "Office" on the left and "Foyer" on the right. Through the arch is a tiny roofless patio lined with stone walls and filled by a delicate spiral staircase which rises out of sight. Bouganvilla twines along the banisters, reaching up toward the sunlight.

The air here is cool and quiet, regardless of the weather outside.

look Zeph
```

This particular creature looks like a....well, it's hard to say _what_ it looks like, other then something small. 3 inches, to be precise. It might possibly be a chipmunk were it not for a few subtle yet essential details. Firstly, it's blue. A bright aquamarine with pale green stripes along its back. Secondly, it seems to have luminescent green eyes. Thirdly, the forearms appear to be vestigal wings - each hidden by a small fan. Vents run up and down the sides of the creature's body, each tinted the same pale green. There appears to be a pepetual breeze stirring its fur, even when the fans are not spinning. Perhaps that soft humming noise has something to do with it?

In keeping with the halloween season, it has a miniature pair of felt bat wings tied to its back. They flutter slightly as if in a constant breeze.

Garden Gazebo
```

This is a smallish open-walled hexagonal structure with white walls and dark green trim. Six arched entrances support the pointed roof, each one leading down to to a path through one of the many gardens. Someone has furnished the place with two tiny wrought-iron tables and four matching chairs, additionally six small benches pokes out of the corners at just the right height for sitting.

A ring of metal about a yard in diameter, surrounded by curlicue designs, has been inlaid into the center of the wooden floor.

Tucked away in one corner (perhaps you miscounted those benches) is a small spiral staircase leading up and down. Bouganvilla twines along its railings as well as the gazebo wall behind it.

        Stars shine brightly all over the sky, the star-field slowly shifting in the freezing air.  It's about 2 am from the way the place feels.

Water
```
```
Garden of Water
```

A circle of evergreens shelter this tiny clearing, their somber coloring contrasting with the brilliant green of the undergrowth. A tiny stream empties out into a placid pool covered in water lilies. Peeking in between their broad leaves, one might catch a glimpse of orange or yellow koi. A miniature waterwheel, barely three feet tall, turns lazily over a bend in the stream.

        Stars shine brightly all over the sky, the star-field slowly shifting in the freezing air.  It's about 2 am from the way the place feels.

Water Foyer
```

This hexagonal entryway is larger than it appears from the outside. The walls are painted dark blue, and a circular pale blue carpet covers the floor. Five plain doors in pale blue frames are set into the walls, each with a name or number on a plaque. The sixth doorway opens onto a small stairway leading down and an archway in the opposite wall leads out to a garden.

```
Living Room
```

You walk into the living room, and notice all the windows open, letting in the fresh sea air from outside. There is a stone fireplace built into the wall, the logs crackling as they burn. Also in the room is a 55" Projection TV across from a large, soft, emerald green couch. There is also a matching loveseat, and recliner, all very inviting. There is a wide, open corridor leading into the kitchen, and doors leading to the other rooms of the house. You can go out onto the beach through the sliding glass door.
