[DeathStar> Mission Orders: The rogue Maverick groups seem to be gathering in the Wastelands area.  They seem to be mounting for a counter strike, hoping EarthGov will be too weak after the earlier battles to do anything.
[X1> Because the normal CPU's taken over the cullenary systems and the chefs can't make any...
*** Arono has quit IRC (Ping timeout)

[X1> Because SOMEONE 6*cough*1ds6*cough*1 pushed him out of the mainframe!
[Dominator> We'll check the situation first, then if it's wise to, we'll attack
[Paladin`> Well, attacking a large group of mavs head on seems dumb . . . but I guess we're doing that

[GM2> Comp: At least I'll be a handsome statue....
* DeathStar puts Cheryl through
[Slash^> Hammer> and best of all, it doesnt stop
[Blackjack> That's comforting...
[Garland> NRP: which means.... it'll get Garland two times over, as he's made of metal (lead, as to Carbon in humans), and of living origin, or it wouldn't at all, as he's not organic or techno/
[Dominator> NRP: Is this hammer guy in the shuttle?
[DeathStar> I think running this thing into Jupiter will be our best bet if Cheryl's instructionsfail
