TWENTY FIRST SESSION (November 9th, 2002)

We started off in the ship, and the ceremony to get Carnello knighted was coming up. We went, there were almost a hundred other Felpools there to get knighted too. There was a three day feast that we had to stay for. Carnello had lots of paperwork to do before he got his assignment. He gave me a bunch of books of protocol to read. I think we practiced the Felpool language some too.
    Since it was a three day feast there was an abundance of food, and we ate a lot. Consequently, when it was over, (and even before then) I was a little sick of eating. Anyway, Carnello sent his papers in, and was waiting for his mission.
    I think it was three shuttles that came. They were carrying the Felpool princess Miranda, and we were going to take her on a little escapade, apparently. I think I was talking to one of the guards, asking something, and he said "You're just an elf." This upset me, as if being a certain species made you a higher form of life. I went to my quarters, and didn't greet the princess . She's probably prejudiced too, I thought sulkily.
    I know that the last time i thought about it, I was going to talk to everyone about finding solutions other than violence, but I couldn't dredge up the courage, and told myself I could do it when we weren't so busy. Maybe I should write it down, and post it on the walls instead, and I'll just leave.
    Anyway, the princess had some rooms remodeled for her, and wanted to go to the Elven planet. I was fine with that. I just might not come back afterwards. But I should talk to Guido first, and maybe Rieko. Oh, and before we left Expel, I suggested to Carnello that it would be nice to have an ultrasound for Rieko. But he wanted to wait, have it be a surprise as to whether the child was a male or female.
    After Carnello powered the drive, we tried to get to the Elven planet, but Guido messed up, and we were way off. Then we noticed an escape pod with a Felpool fighter chasing it. I think it was the pod that comd us first. I t was a feminine looking guy elf screaming at us to help them, and he didn't give any reason other than he didn't want to die.
    Well we took them on board while Cierin tried to distract the fighter. He told them we had the princess on board. Carnello went to her quarters to obviously settle the skirmish. The fighter captain said something about how the occupants of the escape pod were from the Milky way, and had been sent free to hunt for sport. There was also something about us having counterfeits of the royal jewels, and they were upset about that because the royal jewels were supposed to be unique.
    Cierin was trying to make out that we had made them, and that we were "Very good at what we do, sir.:
    Oh, and since the princess had come aboard, he had been courteous in front of her and the other Felpools (except, of course, Carnello). It seemed almost as though he was being nice.
    Well, the princess got the Felpool fighter to leave us alone, and we went to meet the people in the escape pod we had saved. There were four of them. On it was Darius the mechelus who was in a few adventures with us in the past. Then a normal looking human guy named Hal, a sparkly T'sa named Yui, and the feminine guy elf.
    Since we were going to the elven planet, I wanted to try and learn the language. So I asked the elf, but he didn't know the Elven language either!
    Carnello got one of Miranda's guards to power the psychoportation drive, and we got to the Elven planet.
    Miranda left the guards, and took Carnello as her new bodyguard. She was going to the planet to get the key. A little silver key.
    Those that went down to the planet were: Me, Cierin, Losekai, Darius, Yui, Hal, Carnello, and the princess.
    Down at the planet, we were pretty close to a village, and I was going to go there, but Miranda started running into the forest, and I wanted to see what she was doing and why. Maybe she already knew where the key was and was going to get it. Carnello, of course, followed her too, and the others went to the village.
    She stopped in the forest near a waterfall, and waded her feet in the water. Carnello asked her why she had gone this way, and she said she was just taking a break. We waited awhile, and then she asked if they might be done finding out about the key. We said they should be, and she ran back to the village, and we met up with the rest of the group.
    They had found out some info on the key, that it was in a tower, and some people who might know more about it. Then we got directions, and we were going to walk, but the princess suggested that we just take the pods, so we did. Otherwise, it would've been a three day walk.
    We got to the other village, there seemed to be about 800 people, but there were a lot who were leaving. Losekai ( because he was the only one besides Miranda that knew Elven) asked why they were leaving. They said they were going home. So it had been some big meeting.
    We went in, and they asked for Arilinn, and got pointed to a hut. Also, we were told that she made clothes. One of her daughters had apparently been to the white tower with the key, and we were hoping to get some info. She had tons of children, all adults, I think there were 16, and they were all separated in groups of four that had different occupations. And she had multiple husbands too.
    Anyway, we asked around and got the story. Some of their family had gone to the tower, about 40 years ago, and two of them had gotten killed by the "Shrimp" but now they were "replaced". Not adopted, and they appeared the same age as the other children. They said the "Shrimp" had arms, legs, spears and teeth. They had waken them up.
    Well, that was all we were going to find out, so we got directions to the tower, and set off. I tried saying that it would be good idea to take one of the elves that had been there before with us. So we could have a sort of guide. But they didn't listen, and it probably wouldn't matter anyway.
    The tower was covered in vines, so some of us started climbing it. It was only Cierin, Darius, and I that climbed. Losekai flew, and the others stayed down. We got in through the top. There were windows along the way, through which we saw beds and sleeping forms, though it was too dark to see much.
    When we got to the top, nothing happened, so we looked around for the mystical key, and finding nothing, went down to the next floor. It was that floor, or the next where we met the "shrimp" people. They were holding their spears up toward us trembling. They had huge green heads and round red eyes. That's when the fighting started, or maybe later, and the "shrimp" had teeth too, inside huge mouths.
    I didn't want to hurt them, so I just hit them a little, and moved them aside for me to get down the ladder, and to the other side of the room. The others were fighting them, and knocked them all out. Cierin was being suspiciously nice, and only using a stun baton.
    But we didn't find the key there either. Then we got a comm. from Carnello saying they had found the key down at the bottom. So we went back out on the roof, and climbed down. Darius slipped and fell, but seemed okay after he hit the ground. We went over to where the main door was, and it was locked shut. So we tried breaking the door, and after a few attempts, we did.
    Inside, there were three glowing elves with white/silver hair facing Carnello who was trying to get past them, away from the trap door he had come from. Hal was offering them some bags of treasure when Miranda suddenly disappeared. She had the key around her neck and the elves obviously wanted it. I wanted to talk to them, but they didn't understand me darnit!
    Carnello used his psychics to move them out of the way, and came out. Then they all ran because the elves were getting up. I didn't run because I had no reason to. After they had gotten a fair distance away, the princess appeared beside me. I asked her what she had done, and she said she had gone invisible. I asked her about her motives for getting the key, and she said she had read it in a book somewhere.
    Farther down, they were arguing with the elves about how they didn't have the key, and stuff. Then Miranda said, "Forget it! This is boring." and threw the key off and into the tower.
    That was totally confusing. What was she doing? She just suddenly changed her mind, and we were now going back to the ship, and I think Cierin started talking to her about going to the Milky Way galaxy.
    Anyway, that's where we ended, and I want to stay on the planet, and find someone to teach me Elven. And have fun swinging in the trees...

10/13/02
September, after turning 27.
After the last mission, the dance contest, I fell asleep, and only now woke up. While I was asleep, we had all been put in cryogenic pods for a year. Now I guess I'm 27, and Diaron is almost 2 years old. In November he will have his birthday, for which I'm going to make sure he has a party.
    I want to go back to the Elven planet, learn the language, get Diaron to learn the language, find out about my parents if I can, get familiar with the customs, and just get away from this murderous group.
    Oh and McKain got an elven girl from the planet, and he's now using her blood instead of people in the group (like me).
    First, I'm going to try and talk to each person individually and find out if they'll agree to stop killing without thinking, to find better solutions to the problems. Then, if not enough agree to change, I'm going to have to leave. I'm also going to talk to Rieko, about how she feels for Carnello, and their unborn child. Maybe try to comfort her and get her to try and make Carnello like her.
    I really want to learn the elven language, because I should know it, (since I'm an elf) and it's embarrassing to not know my own language, or even any of the history or culture of my people. And I want Diaron to be raised in a loving environment, away from violence. I need to spend more time with him especially since he's getting older. I want to find a true friend, and learn all I can about my people.
    I liked the dance contest. It was fun, even if I didn't get to win. I knew I wouldn't win anyway, and was just doing it for fun, and it was. I'd like to practice singing and dancing more. We should do a little play production. Those of us who can. It would be fun.

After they got the key from the zebra, they went and got the money needed and paid the old man to exorcise the bad spirit from Carnello. He did, and now Becifo (the name of the spirit) got his own body and is out to kill Carnello, but at least it won't be taking over his body. When they went to the planet with the demons on it in the Felpool galaxy and caught one, McKain changed into a werewolf and ate the greater demon's heart. I think they got one successfully though, and the money somehow. I wasn't there.

TWENTIETH SESSION (July 24th, 2002)
     So we went deeper into space where there were supposed to be pirates, and we sent out a distress beacon that we were a merchant ship in need of help. To lure the pirates. Well, they came. They were the rebels, and they were pirating ships to get money. Cierin wanted to join them. They were going to try and get the bomb out of Mousy, but they failed, and she died too. They offered to give us someone else to go with us, and put our names up on the bulletin to see if someone recognized them. So we met up with Sh'dya. I was on the ship during this, and didn't get to meet her until they brought her on the ship. She barely recognized me. She has a phoenix now. She and Carnello were being competitive, trying to see who was the better psychic.
    Oh, and about then, we had to go to the pit of death or doom because a little old psychic man had decreed that the evil spirit in Carnello would kill him, and we needed to get rid of the spirit. We had to get a little tube, and a greater demon heart and lots of money to get the exorcism. In the pit of Doom, Carnello and Cierin went across a rickety bridge to the other side, and Cierin got a star sword, and Carnello got a piece of jewelry and the metal tube. The bridges had broken, fallen. So Carnello had to use his psychics to pull them both across.
    After we got out, we had to go back to the NGC for a mission they had set up for us. Rieko had an elf bodyguard. He was over six feet tall. We recognized him a little bit, and it was Mckain from about two years ago. Lyon, Sh'dya, Cierin and I were the ones that knew him. Rieko still liked Carnello. She was a captain now, instead of just a sergeant. Our mission was we had to get the dance tickets to a contest that we had to win to get to talk to the company guy who handed out the prize. We dressed up as hostess workers in a truck, and got into the building. They questioned the guard, but he didn't know much. The T'sas went through the air ducts and to a room with a talking Zebra who had the tickets. But the zebra wanted us to get the key to hell for him from the Sol environmentalists so he could keep on protecting the universe.
    We had to go to Earth, and the preserve there. Oh, and before, when we told Elise about her husband's death, she just wanted all his stuff. Mousy hadn't wanted to give up TV's skybike that she had jury rigged, but we had to, (and she wasn't in a position to argue because she was going to be sold).
    Back at Earth, we got a hover van to go through the wild preserve to get to the people who probably had the key. It took a long time to go through the forest, and then we ran into a tree because we had been going so fast. Sh'dya had been driving.
    But when we crashed we could see the temple building. It had been a long drive, and we were tired. Lyon took Fred to the door and went in. I was walking. Nim'sha and Glorfindal flew there, and got there before me. McKain was going to go with Lyon, but changed his mind, and walked with me there. It took a while. When we got there, they gave us a meal and a bed, and asked where the others were. When I pointed behind me I noticed that McKain had disappeared.
    Well, in the morning, they woke us up, and took us all to one room, and told us that someone would come to take us away to the city. But if we let them take us then they would execute us for trespassing on the reservation. We had to get the key, so after they left, we snuck down the hallway to the room where we saw the key, protected by lots of security. Lyon and Nim'sha had been picking the locks. Then a guy saw us, and Lyon pretended he had been looking for the bathroom. I was hiding in the shadows along with Nim'sha and someone else. Then we came out too, and we all went back to the room where they had put us.
    So now we knew where the key was, and we just had to think of a way to get it and away, without being killed.
    Oh, and before all that, in the morning, right after we had woken up, Carnello noticed some vampire looking bite marks on my neck.. I healed them so they didn't show anymore, but I was a little nervous, and I got flashbacks from Darius the mechelus who had gone through a vampire stage, and had wanted Microwave's blood. I hoped that wouldn't happen to me.
    We went back to the room, and Carnello tried to get the key out of its case using psychics.
    Oh and earlier, I had talked to the people that lived there, and it seemed nice just to live in the forest like that, and I considered staying. But the group needed me, and if I stayed, I probably wouldn't get to go to the other planets that actually did need some kind of ecological help.
    When Carnello tried pulling the key, it set off the alarms, and a big metal cage fell down around the room. So Lyon shot his armor piercing ammo through it, and Carnello was able to pull it through. It was a mad dash after that. They had vehicles flying after us, but Lyon and Loseckei shot them down. We successfully made it out, and then we met the zebra. Purple bipedal zebra.
    He wanted the key, but for some reason Carnello wanted to keep it. He said it made him smarter. The zebra revealed that it was made from T'sa bones, while the other was made from human bones. Well, we got Carnello to let go of it, and we got tickets to the dance.
    The dance wasn't for a few more days, so we went back to the ship. I think it was then that I started doing laps. Running around for no reason. Oh and Rieko had a job for McKain and Carnello. They were to find other dancers for the contest, crash their bus, and break their legs.
    I objected to this of course. It was cheating, and being unnecessarily cruel. If we really had to cheat, couldn't they just get the dancers lost? But they wanted their violence, and there was nothing I could do to stop them. We all went to the dance with Carnello and McKain later than the rest of us. I decided to take part in the contest because Cierin was going to dance with me, and that would make it easier. We did pretty good, only a few were still in after we both messed up. McKain was doing really well, but didn't win. Carnello won. He was having lots of fun. He had been dancing with Rieko, but she failed, and they let him keep dancing. He wasn't showing any of his usual fear of her. He said it was just because he needed a dance partner. We had all gotten dressed up nice. It felt funny to wear a dress again.
    Back on the ship I annoyed Carnello somehow, (he said it was that I was saying stupid things, or something) and he suggested I go do laps again, and that's when I figured out that he'd been using psychics to make me do that. When he was gone, I took some seeds and planted them in his bed, and made them grow, but I dropped my staff, and it got stuck under the bed. So I crawled under, and tried pulling it out, and couldn't. Then Carnello came in. He burnt the plants (how mean! He should've just traded matresses with somebody) and he could tell I was hiding. I felt embarrassed, but mostly mad at him for using psychics on my mind, and burning up poor innocent plants. He said he'd get my staff out if I left. So, after some careful thought I left his room to stand outside his door watching to make sure he'd give the satff back to me. I think Rieko came in at that time. Carnello tried breaking my staff, but couldn't. He lit it on fire and handed it to me after I got over my hesitation. I healed the damage it caused, but it still hurt.
    Oh yeah, before that, right after the dance, he went off with Rieko. The next morning he was married and Rieko was pregnant. This was bad because the old psychic man had told Carnello that the evil spirit would only kill him if he had an heir. Sh'dya worsened the situation by telling this to Rieko, which made her cry because of the thought of either looking Carnello (whom she loved), or their baby.
    Also, after the dance, or the next night, Lyon followed McKain and found out that he was eating people. We already knew that he was a werewolf, and had to eat lots of meat.
    Sometime after the dance, I annoyed Carnello, (I still don't know quite what it is I'm doing) and had to run laps again. Oh wait, I think it was when I tried hitting him with my staff, and missed. While I was running, I went outside and summoned a storm, so I could run in the rain. I like the rain.
    Sh'dya was mad and made him run laps too.
    When I was done running, I went back inside the ship, and got the babies in the cargo bay with the plants and we played in the dirt.
    Oh, and when the day came, we went with Carnello to collect his prize. It was a trophy or something, and about 20,000 dollars. The guy that gave out the prize we asked about information on the Kid, and he referred us to another guy that helped make the Kid.
    We talked to him a little bit, and then went to the guy he got his information from. It was late at night, and he wasn't in a mood to talk to us. told us that they'd kill him if he gave away any information. The security guard came then, because he had called him. We left. It had been the middle of the night, and I felt sorry for bothering the poor man. He probably would get killed if he gave anymore info on the soldiers they'd made. The Kid was one of the soldiers that had gotten away.
    After going back to the ship, I sent him a sorry card; sorry for bothering him about something he couldn't tell us without fearing for his life. For bothering him late at night when he was probably tired. So I went to sleep.
    Wait, before I went ot sleep, Lyon told more about McKain, he had been drinking his victim's blood too. That made me think back to the vampire marks I had gotten. So it had been him, not one of the people at the temple. I was going to ask him about it, but he was sleeping, so I left him alone for later, and went to bed myself.

NINETEENTH SESSION (July 17th, 2002)
    The NGC had another quest for us. There was a planet that had been taken over by cykosis people, gone crazy over their cyber gear. They gave us about 100 people to help us. So we had to go to the leader. I'm not sure if we landed the ship or not, but there was a dispute over it.
    There was a small area that hadn't been taken over by the cykos. An NGC group was their. Their leader was Rieko. We used them as a strike force at the building where they suspected the leader was. There were 30 stories, and we had to go through the sewers to get to the building without getting shot down.
    Cierin did tactics, and we got up to the 28th story, with most of the people we brought dead. TV wanted to use a huge bomb that he had, and just blow up the building, but Rieko, the woman in charge of things wanted to capture the leader alive. The name they called the leader was "The Kid". We were using EMP grenades and Loseckai's arrows which do the same thing. They shut down electronics. We tried asking some of the cykos about if the kid was here, and what story he was on, but they had every confidence that their leader would kill us. Around the 27th and 28th stories there were an awful lot of Seshayens. Nim'sha and TV had to go to the top of the building to get rid of the helicopter. So there was no escape left. We thought they were going to use TV's bomb, but when they came back, they had just pushed it off, to let it crash at the floor level and blow up.
    We got to the floor with the Kid. It was the 29th. There was a large window, or it covered the whole wall, with a large chair and desk. A red carpet led up to it. When we got in, they started throwing weapons immediately at the chair. Oh, and Carnello had gotten knocked out, and was down on one of the lower stories with Rieko and her guards. They had me summon and air elemental, and then I told it to try and turn the chair around, so we could see if there was anyone in it. But when it touched the chair, it disappeared. After they fired a lot of damage into the chair, it turned around to reveal a little boy. I think he had funny coloring or something. He was the Kid. He wanted Loseckai because he liked Seshayens, and he saw him first.
    When the battle started, I hid behind the door. Mousy went up and was going to spank the Kid, but something made her change her mind. The door closed somewhere in there. Rieko with her four guards and Carnello came up then, and the door opened again. I hurried in. I didn't want to not be able to see all of us again, so I couldn't help or heal them.
    The Kid broke the window, and then flew out. TV forgot that he had already spent his FX power, and jumped out after him. Mousy went too, and was able to catch TV. In the room we were in holes opened in the ceiling to drop many grenades on us.
    Oh, and before, when they were all shooting at him, it wasn't hurting him, and Rieko wanted to take him alive. So I thought if someone charmed, he could be our friend, and we could get him to come with us willingly. But he jumped out the window, and all the grenades exploded.
    When I woke up I was surprised we hadn't all died. TV was knocked out fro m jumping out the window. Well, now the mission was finished, and we went back to the ship. Rieko and a few of her hirelings came with us because they had been part of the 100 or so people the NGC had given us to get the job done. There were about 20 of them left.
    On the ship I think we went back to the NGC, and got our money. I bought a plant that creates a paralytic poison so I can use it on my crossbow bolts. I started working on extracting the poison then, but I must've fallen asleep sometime. Oh, and there was flute music being played over the intercom, but I didn't pay much attention because I was busy.
    When I woke up, I was in my quarters, naked. With two other naked male elves. I tried to ignore them, and got dressed and out of there. First I went to the cargo bay, and checked on the plants, then I went and checked on the babies. They were all fine. I only had two bolts left in my crossbow, and all my money was gone though. It must've been the Kid to do something so immature and ridiculous.
    Then I got a comm from Cierin. There were slavers outside, and they had come to take Mousy away because of some supposed agreement that Cierin had made. So I went towards the air lock they were coming in and met them on their way. I tried to talk them out of it, or at least distract them, but wasn't able to.
    They went to where Mousy was hiding. In Guido's closet. Oh, and the funny thing was, Guido wasn't against the slavers coming and taking Mousy away, because Cierin had made a bargain and we needed to fullfill our end. Guido isn't usually like that. And Cierin couldn't remember ever making any kind of deal with the slavers. Well, they got mousy. TV went after them with his huge bomb, and blew up parts of the inside of their ship. We psycho-portated away before it could affect us, because we knew that if he set off the comb, and it got to their power core, it would blow up on the outside too, and then blow our ship up. Loseckai had gotten a hear tattoo that said:
    "I love Cierin," on it. He had the med tech droid remove it, but it was just turned into a scar instead of a glowing cyber tattoo. Everyone's weapons had almost no ammo left.
    We went back to the NGC, and got more ammo. But we couldn't have our money back. Or TV or Mousy. Rieko was chasing Carnello around the ship. They had woken up together in his quarters. We contacted some slavers or something to check if they had Mousy. They did. She hadn't died.They were going to let us take her with us on our next mission to get a ship from pirates to pay for the one we (TV) blew up. Mousy had a cortex bomb in her that would set off at the slightest provocation. The slavers really wanted her because someone was offering a lot of money for her. We talked about possible ways to get the bomb out of her without killing her. We could use the EMP grenades and surgery.

EIGHTEENTH SESSION Level 8 (July 10th, 2002)
    Okay, after I healed Nim'sha, she and Leon went to sleep while Loseckai and Cierin woke up. We went back to Earth, and finally got with the NGC that were going to hire us, and change our tags. They did a computer generated execution of us, so we could clean the records. As soon as they changed our tags, they had a mission for us.
    There was a mining planet that hadn't been delivering shipments or communicating at all. There was something obviously wrong, and they wanted us to go check it out, and fix it if we could. I think the name of the ore they were mining was called rhodium. worth a lot. They had sent other ships to the planet to check it out, but they hadn't heard from them either. We were given the coordinates, and we traveled directly there after our inexhaustive list for the NGC was fulfilled. Except for the massive bomb that TV requested.
    Upon arriving at the planet, we took a grizzly, and TV's skybike with us in the landing pod to the planet. We landed in a dense jungle. We had a map of the planet, and had a general idea of where the mining bases were. So we took out the vehicles, and started traveling. But we soon got lost. I was going to ask the animals for direction, because they might have an idea where the base was. But before I was able to do anything, we heard something large in the bushes coming towards us. I tried to use my animal spell, but it didn't work.
    TV shoved Mousy and me back into the grizzly as the huge creatures came upon us. Cierin, Loseckai and Mousy fired their guns, arrows, and fire at the creatures as I pulled TV back inside after one of the creatures attacked him. I was starting to remember something from my years in the military. The creatures reminded me of something that they used in the second galactic war, but I couldn't remember much. When they had killed the monsters, they turned into little puddles of goo. We followed their tracks back to their lair.
    I was in a cave. In the cave there were bones in an eating pit of every kind. Outside the cave there was a dead body and a completely totaled skybike. There was a mem pad on him that we read and took. We buried him too, before the beasts (called war beasts) came back.
    This time, after we killed them, we made a very deep hole, threw their puddles in, and then covered it over. I'm not sure if there were more tracks for us to follow or not. Cierin had told us what he knew of these War beasts (which was more than me). They were genetically engineered to think they were invincible and immortal. Which they were pretty close to. Each kind of attack they suffered, they grew stronger against, and they couldn't die, they'd just reform. They could talk too. We had talked to them outside their cave. They kept saying things like:
    "You're dinner," and
    "You're going to die."
    But anyway, we kept traveling. OH, and by the way, all of their comms stopped working, except for mine and Carnello's. We eventually found our way to the mining base. When we got there, we found it deserted, with the walls all overgrown with ivy or other plants. There were obviously no people living there anymore. The wall was very thick, and the doors were too. So we stopped right outside the wall, and camped there.
    The War beasts came back a third time, but this time we just wanted to contain them, so that they couldn't come back. We found from the records that their names were Grace and Joy, but one was male, and the other female. We almost killed one, and the other finished killing it for us, so he could come back better. Carnello used suggest to stop Grace who was still not too badly hurt. I was hiding in the trees. Carnello had given his comm to Cierin, and it stopped working. Permanently, because even after Cierin gave it back to Carnello, it still wouldn't work. We found out from Grace that they had been shipped here, and into the city, where they killed all the people and stopped the mining operation. Then, they left the base, and the doors were closed behind them. They couldn't get in now. Someone had closed the doors behind them, and locked them. The people in the other two bases had been killed too.
    I think Grace then found that she was being mentally manipulated, so either she got away, or we killed her. Oh, she got killed, and we dug an even deeper hole than before, but we didn't bury them. I decided to crawl over the wall then. Because of the plants overgrowing it, the walls weren't sheer anymore. On the other side I slept while the others were some of them on the inside, and some on the outside. I think it was Loseckai and Mousy who were watching Grace and Joy when they rematerialized. After taunting them a bit, it was found that they could get out. They jumped, and everyone hurried over the wall.
    On the inside, there were many dead bodies. We found the rhodium mine. TV wanted me to plant a bean, so I did, and 17 pigs sprouted out. Well, that would supply us with plenty of meat.
    Then we formed a plan to use TV and Mousy as bait outside the wall because they could fly. But they were knocked unconscious by lasers coming from bushes very far away. This was confusing. Was this a new enemy, or did Grace and Joy have lasers now?
    We hauled TV and Mousy up before they were killed. Our plan was based on their ability to fly, but they couldn't fly if they were knocked out.
    After we got them back I healed them. But it was taking me more than a day to heal TV. In the meantime he wanted me to plant more beans. One transported me far under the ground, in the mines. It took me 11 hours using the earth elemental to get back to the surface. When I got to the top I might've rested a while before finishing healing TV. He still wanted me to plant more beans though. The next one was a wishing well.
    I said the first two wishes. There was a sign on the well that said "A dollar per wish" or something like that. I wished that Grace and Joy outside wouldn't have lasers anymore. Then I wished that all of the people wouldn't be dead anymore, but not undead, they they would be just as they were before they died. So that we wouldn't get any zombies. Well, it worked, their wounds all healed, and they were no longer dead, but then they started shrinking, and they turned into babies.
    TV made two other wishes. He wished that Gracie and Joe would go into the sun. Then he realized his mistake, and said that he wished that Grace and Joy, the war beasts hunting us on this planet, would go into the sun. Then he went outside the wall, just to test and see if they were gone. They were.
    Mousy tried making another wish, for her brother to come, but there weren't any wishes left. TV wanted me to plant another bean then, so I went closer to the mine, and planted it. It was a beanstalk that shot up from the ground at an unbelievable rate. TV soon fell off after it started growing. It was going up so fast I was scared it would go into the upper layers of the atmosphere, and I might die. So I tried sliding down it, even if it would only slow my ascent, and not actually let me down. But I slipped, and fell off.
    Mousy caught me, so I didn't die. But when TV had fallen he had gotten seriously wounded, so I had to heal him. After I healed TV Carnello had found a transport ship. So we took all the babies, and strapped them in. Carnello and I were the only ones doing that. Loseckai got the Rhodium in, and TV got his skybike, and we all strapped up.
    It was a bumpy ride, and we almost failed getting out a few times, but we made it through. TV wasn't too bad a pilot, especially under all that stress. We took the nearest transport ship, and docked at our normal ship. We took all the babies, and rhodium out, and onto our ship.
    We drove back to the NGC, and made our report. They got the babies. Then I thought, and decided I wanted one. So I got one, and Mousy and TV did too. I got a boy, and they both got girls. TV named his Shirly, and had dreams for her becoming the best sniper ever. Mousy's was named Ryoko Lasada (Luda for short). Mine, the little boy, I named Diaron. He has a tuft of cute blonde hair, and big brown eyes. Mousy and I got a robot nanny to take care of them in case we get separated from the ship for a long time.

SEVENTEENTH SESSION (July 3rd, 2002)
    Oh yes, back with the Giant Sticky Mutant Robots. When we went back to the cave, there was no "Keep Out" sign above th opening. I decided to stay with the car while they went in. They came running out, and TV was covered in purple pus, carrying Leon and a mallet or mace. They all got in the car, and TV drove to the ship. This was when we all took showers, and Cierin, Loseckiy, Caster, and Pure all went to sleep for a long time. Then we went back to the cave. Wait, before that, back at the ship, Carnello had to make a chemical concoction to get TV unstuck from his gun.
    Then, while we were still near the ship, TV wanted me to plant some beans. So I did. The first was a little plant with a blue flower. I wondered what it was, so I jokingly told TV to eat it. He did. The next one I planted turned into a giant glowing halo floating above the ground. We walked on, the next one I planted grew into a rod. As TV went to go jump on top of it, clouds gathered, and when he had balanced himself on top of it, lightening struck down. Then I had to heal him. When he woke up, he wanted more beans planted. And the reason he jumped on the rod was because he had thought it was a rod of power, not a lightning rod. So I planted another one after he was awake. It grew into another me. She looked a bit older, and she said her name was Eowyn. She didn't have much memory, so I got the impression she had just been created, not brought from the future or another dimension. I told her what I had been doing, and she wanted to trade places with me. Then TV got out his gun because he had gone back to the ship to get his stuff. After he tried to shoot her, she summoned a storm, and lightning struck him. I wanted to stop the fighting, so I ran back to the ship to get a book for her. I'm going to call her Wyn now, because she can't have my name. I was thinking that if he were just like me, then she would like books too. I also thought that it would be cool to have a twin. But by the time I got back with the book, she had been killed by TV. I was upset. TV took her staff and bag of beans. He was hurt though. I threatened not to heal him if he wouldn't agree to help me bury her. So he helped, and I healed him.
    Right after that was when they went back to the cave for the second time, and there were the robots with the grenades, and TV got all stuck again, and Carnello had to make more of the chemical concoction.
    The third time, I went with them to the cave. Then we went back and the purple stuff was all over the walls, but it had hardened so it wasn't sticky anymore. We walked down the tunnel for a long time, and then came to a larger cavern with doctors in white lab coats and cages with animals in them. Now that TV had a staff just like mine, he wanted to save the trees, and free the animals. I was going to go outside, and open a way through the top, but it would've been too far. I tried talking to the doctors. They said they were using the animals for experiments. Nim'sha unlocked one of the cages, and a crazy monkey shooting fireballs came out. The doctors were upset. TV was going to shoot the doctors, and when they saw that most of us had guns they surrendered. Carnello, Leon and Mousy had them file out of the cave while TV got the keys and unlocked all the cages. The animals seemed dangerous, so we went outside. Two of the doctors looked like some of the wanted ads, but they weren't the guy we had come for.
    Then, when we were all outside, a guy in a suit came from somewhere else. He demanded that we set the doctors/prisoners free. We wouldn't, so he stuck his hand inside a doctor's chest and pulled out a sword. Mousy tried throwing firebolts at him, while she was flying. That got him successfully far away. Someone called Guido, and he was going to come with the whole ship. TV, Nim'sha and I got in the grizzly so we coudl drive away, and Carnello and Leon questioned the prisoners. TV drove the car by the man in the suit twice; he was trying to run him over. By the amount of damage he was getting from Mousy, I doubted it would kill him. So we were buckled, and finally ran over him, and the car rolled on top of him. We were all three hurt pretty badly, TV the most. Oh, and during our car ride, I called a storm, but we were far from it now. TV was knocked out, so I pulled him out, and ran with Nim'sha to the edge of the storm. The evil man was rocking the grizzly back and forth, and finally got out. I healed TV and Leon shot at the suit guy. His clothes were in tatters now. TV led him on a super speeded chase, but TV was just a tad bit slower.
    During that time, Leon kept shooting him, and I planted a bean. It grew into some kind of tree. While it was still growing Nim'sha and I climbed up in it and hid.
    After the suit guy caught up with TV and hurt him, he came for us. The tree had grown into a leather underwear tree. He climbed up it. I called lightning down onto him. I think it actually hurt him. But he kept coming up, and then he was on the same branch as me, so I had to jump off. When I hit the ground, I was knocked out.
    When I woke up we were in some sort of city. Their doctors had healed us. Apparently Nim'sha got knocked out too, so they healed her, TV and me.We asked them if we could get the drug dealer guy, or if they knew where he was. Well, he was under their protection. The bounty had been so high on him because he had been transporting anti-psi drugs (and you know how much the psychic Felpools would hate that!). This was a sort of rebel base that didn't like the current Felpool government. That's why they were getting anti-psi drugs, to fight all the Felpool psychics. We told them how we needed the money to repower our ship, and if they wouldn't let us get the drug dealer, we wouldn't get the money. So they offered us the amount of money we needed if we would transport some warriors and their mecha gun things to a space station. We agreed and took the mechas in the cargo bay.
    Soon after we docked though, we were notified by the Felpool government that they were grateful for the tip on the rebel base, and we would be paid a million dollars for it. That's when we found out that Carnello had contacted them, and given out the coordinates of the planet, and told them all about the rebels.
    Since they had already gone to go beat up the rebels, we couldn't do anything to help them, and we already got a larger offer of money. So we used half of the million to repower the ship, and then each of us got 70,000 each. Oh and they changed the date for Carnello's knighthood tournament again. In over a year (14 months) it was changed to. Since we had lots of money we spent it. Nim'sha got cyber wings and an amazing set of lockpicks. Leon got a robot thing to ride in. He named it Fred. TV got . . . wait, I don't think we know what he got. Maybe he saved it. Carnello just kept his, and Mousy went to the Elven planet to get a FX fireball rod. I got a new custom made crossbow with 100 bolts that explode on impact. I also got a survival backpack with a little tent and a water purifier. And also, A bag with lots of different seeds, so I can plant anything I want. Also, a cloak with a hood, that provides armor, and in the cargo bay, I had dirt and plants put in, to make it like outside, and I helped the plants to grow. Also I got plastic surgery just for the fun of it, and so I wouldn't be recognized when we went back to Sol.
    We were going back to Sol because TV wanted to, and we didn't have anything else to do. On the first try to get there, Carnello failed, and used up all his psychic energy. So he was tired and suggested we wait a while before trying again. We all agreed. I went to the cargo bay to check on the plants while TV and Leon played tag with Fred. TV, and then Leon fell asleep right there for some reason, and then I started getting tired. I suspected this wasn't just normal fatigue, so I commd Mousy to tell her my suspicions. I said that only one person on this ship could make people fall asleep. I was on my way out of the cargo bay, and collapsed in the hallway.
    When I woke up, I was still in the hallway. Apparently, it was Carnello's other self, (I'll call him Ancremen for now) who put us to sleep. Because when TV found out that Carnello had given away the rebel base, he had threatened to kill him. This made Ancremen want to kill TV. So he put all the possible witnesses to sleep, and then tried to kill TV. But Guido, the ship's AI wouldn't let him, and he ended up in the psi brig. When Carnello came back, he was confused. We showed him the recording of Ancremen trying to kill TV, and how Guido had had to use the robotic guard dogs to stop him. Carnello wouldn't believe it though.
    So, anyway, we finally got going to Earth then. When we got to the galaxy, three black little ships latched onto us, and sent a message. They offered to give us a job, and that they'd change our tags so we wouldn't have to run from the government anymore. Leon was hiding somewhere, and kept talking to us over the comm, not to trust them because they were humans. We agreed anyway, and they latched off. They told us to go to a planet to register with them, and get the tags fixed, and since we were going to Sol, that's where we would do it.
    But when we tried to get there something went wrong, and we were in a totally different system, and Guido had no idea where we were. We decided to land on one of the nearby planets. Except for Carnello, who was sulking on the ship. It was green, with lots of trees and grass and bushes and plants. We used a landing pod. There were little teddy bear people who ran away when they saw us. We followed them to the end of the forest where a desert started. All the teddy bears were circled around a rock. I was in the robot thing named Fred with Leon. Nim'sha was flying, and so was Mousy. I'm not sure if TV was flying or not.
    I think it was Nim'sha that shot the rock in half with her gun. The teddy bears scattered. Then giant spiders started attacking us. They even jumped high enough to catch the flying people where we could barely see them. I used two of my new crossbow bolts on them. They bit me, but my armor stopped any real hurt. But they got Leon, and we were speeding back. Leon started getting sick, and throwing up. And then Nim'sha came down, she had gotten poisoned too. So we drove back to the landing pod. I commd Mousy. She was chasing the teddy bears. I told her we were going back to the ship. I started healing Nim'sha and Leon then. When Mousy and TV came back, we went up to the ship, and I took Nim'sha and Leon to the cargo bay with the plants. Because of Nim'sha's cyber gear, it made it harder for me to heal her. Leon I got healed the first day. It took about three more days to heal Nim'sha. I was dead tired by then, even though I had been stopping to sleep. Nim'sha was tired too, so we went to our quarters.

SIXTEENTH SESSION (June 26th, 2002)
    I was in the forest. I set up a food stand to pass the time, but of course, there was next to no travelers on the road, so the animals got the food. After a time, Caster contacted me, and told me about Cierin being in jail, and them freeing him, and now we were to go back and meet at the cave.
    We traveled back to the cave and met. We now had enough money to travel on the ship. So we went to the docks, and got passage. The ship traveled to the pirate place, the fortress. I was seasick. The captain wouldn't land, so we had to swim to shore.
    When we got ashore, we found shelter so that we could think of a plan of action before barging into the pirate fortress. TV had gone out and sunk the pirate ships. I think Cierin was tired of being blamed for everything, because he turned the leadership over to Carnello. Carnello took awhile, but then decided he would scout the fortress, and look for the princess. So he left his body. When he came back, he yelled:
    "They're coming to get me!"
    Obviously, he meant the spirits that wanted to possess his body when he left. He had found a few rooms, and treasury, where the three ghosts saw him, and followed him back. Now we had to change our hiding spot because the ghosts might tell the pirates where we were. I kept bugging Carnello, told him that sitting there longer wouldn't make us come up with a brilliant plan. He still wanted more time to think. I think I was being impatient because I suspected there were books with the pirates, and I hadn't had a book in months. So that night, while they were sleeping, I snuck away to the fortress and knocked on a side door.
    The guy that answered the door wanted to know how I'd gotten there, and told me the place was supposed to be a secret. I told him it wasn't much of a secret in the town.
    "Someone's going to die!"
    Of course he was angry that their little secret had gotten out. Then he led me in and I told him how I could paint, and asked if they had books. He said they did, and it gladdened me. He then had me leave my stuff behind. I felt fine leaving my stuff behind if he was taking me to their library, which I was hoping. But no, he took me to the prisons. I knew that I could out anytime with my magic. In the cell I used the time to think, and I thought it would be funny to surprise the guards. So I called a little rat to me, and asked it to go get some seeds for me. I had the moss in the cell grow all over the floor, so that it could substitute dirt. I also spoke to some of the other people locked up. There weren't very many, and none of them had heard of the princess Beatrice. When the rat came back, I planted the seeds, and it grew very fast all over. It was wheat. I took some and put it in my pocket for possible later use.
    When the guard came he was surprised and angry, and moved me to a cell with a nearly dead old man. I healed the old man, and kept talking to Pure, probably the only other healthy captive. The guard came again, and said they were going to take us away in an hour, because they were tired of having prisoners or something. Maybe my growing wheat annoyed them.
    So, before the hour was over I summoned the earth elemental, and had it take down all the prison walls so that we and any other prisoners could get out. We then went and got our stuff while the guards ran after us yelling threats. I felt a little too overconfident, but when they said they would take us to where they put the princess, I agreed. They took us to a pool with blue mist over it. They pointed their flintlock pistols at us, so I had to jump in.
    The rest of the group (TV, Cierin, Loseckiy, Leon, Glorfindal, Nim'sha, Mousy, and Caster) got through the pool too, and when we fell we came out in a forest. There was a little hut not far from the pond we came out of. Leon had a comm, so Cierin used that to contact Guido. Turned out we were gone 9 months this time. Well, that meant my birthday had passed again, and I was 26 now.
    In the cottage was the princess. She said that a Felpool guy had already come by to save her. We were back in our world now and this was a Felpool reserve where it was illegal for us to be. We needed to leave, so Beatrice helped us get transports, and we left. She was stuck up, and kept talking about her father, the Emperor.
    So we left, and went to find out what the next step in Carnello's knighthood would be. But the next test or whatever wasn't for another nine months. Our ship's fuel cell was down on power and it would cost a whole bunch to recharge/refuel it. For a while, we were just bargaining, and buying stuff, especially after Cierin went and sold some part of the ship, and we each got 10,000 Felpool credits. I used 3,000 to get some art supplies, then I had 7,500.
    We still needed the money for the ship, so we decided to go bounty hunting. It was a drug dealer, but since he was worth so much (enough to repower our ship) we thought there might've been more behind the price on his head. He was apparently hiding out on the planet we had been to before; with the alcoholic tree sap orchard. Since the settlement we visited before was all dead now (mysteriously), we had to do a search. Cierin sent Loseckiy out on an aerial search for three hours, and he found a cave with a bike in front.
    TV and Leon went out to the cave, caused mischief, and came back with Leon nearly dead. It took 12 hours of my healing and Pure's surgery to get him better, so I went to bed. They had all left during that time to investigate further. They came across the same beautiful people; T'sas, Felpool, Elves, Seshayens, Werens, and humans. When they got to close to the cave they were threatened with a thrashing, so they had to drive away. In the morning, I woke up, and went with Loseckiy, TV and Leon to the cave again. A giant came out. Two beautiful male elves had been coming out before. The giant was human looking, and beautiful. He had a huge mace, so we had to drive off.
    I was feeling impatient, and wanted something to happen, so I planted a bean. It was the bursting column of flame, that converged on everyone this time, and then turned into bat guano, and we were all covered in it.
    Leon wouldn't accept they were real because they had shot him, and his armor and hiding were very good. He called them zombies, because he couldn't kill them with one shot from his gun.
    I didn't know what they were, but they hadn't been hostile until they were threatened, and TV and Leon shot them. I wanted to speak with them, figure this mystery out, try to fix the misunderstanding. But I would probably have to go alone, and try not to pose a threat to them. Also, they had a sign above the cave that said "Do Not Enter". So I would have to try and talk to them from outside.

FIFTEENTH SESSION (June 19th, 2002)
   I got knocked out easily in the fight because I still didn't have any armor. I woke up washed on the beach with TV, Cierin, and Mousy waiting. Nim'sha, Glorfindal, Cythera, Loseckiy, Carnello, and a dead mechelus washed up on the shore too. The mechelus had his head gone. We all had wounds, so I used my heal spell on all of them that needed it. Cierin I did last. Usually I don't heal that much, but he got all healed. TV left us to go get some clothes, because we had all washed up naked and without equipment. It made me wonder, why couldn't they just take our armor? Why did they go through all the trouble of removing all our clothes? I got TV's cloak, Cythera got Cierin's clothes, Cierin still had his armor though. Carnello ran off for a short time and came back with huge clothes, looked like they would fit a seven foot giant. It seemed Carnello was bored them, and he kept muttering to himself. Then he left the cave. Soon after, Cythera and I noticed a flash of fire not too far away. I was scared it might be a forest fire, so I ran out there with Cythera.
   It was Carnelo using his pyrokinetics... wait did Carnello have pyrokinetics? No, I think the last time they were used, he was his other self, the one that tried to kill Cierin. Anyway, he was very happy it seemed, and was burning a squirrel too. I had to stop him. I did my storm spell, and it started raining, but didn't put out the fire. Cythera asked him to stop, and I asked him to stop. He said he needed to use some energy, and he'd go get our equipment later. That was all good and well, but did he have to burn trees and animals just for fun? I was a little angry with him, and tempted to hit him, but I knew if I got in a fight with him I probably wouldn't win. I tried reasoning with him. He seemed to think of something, then asked me to burn my hand. He held out his hand covered in flame. I asked if he would stop burning trees for good if I did, and he agreed. It was better that my hand get a little burnt, than he keep on his killing, burning rampage. So I put my hand in his, and it burned. He seemed surprised. "The Hippy has guts!" He's taken to calling me a hippy lately, I don't know why. My hand was in excruciating pain. I used my heal spell, and almost healed it all.
   TV had gotten the clothes by then. They were all funny custom made clothes, but I found a set that fit, and put them on. Carnello changed his clothes even though he said he stole them fair and square! Oh, and a human came by, a guy named Caster. He had fallen through a portal from our world to this one. I think it might've been the next day that Cierin got sick. He was pale, then green, and throwing up all over the place. His throw up turned to blood soon. He was so bad he couldn't even talk. I kept trying to heal him, but I was only able to stop him from dying. Someone went out to look for the wizard that the villagers had spoken of. Maybe we could get him to help us. Cierin kept almost dying, but I could only use my spell every four hours on the same person. We had already used first aid on him, and that stabilized him, slowed the disease down. I couldn't let him die, I didn't know what I'd do if he did. He couldn't die, he'd been with us too long. I realized that he was the only one left that had been there when I got out of the military, and woke up in their ship in a cryogenic freezer pod. And then the hospital gowns and the boxes. Oh, and during that time Carnello and I heard a big boom, probably something exploding, but we didn't get a chance to tell anyone until later. Anyway, as I was waiting to heal Cierin some more, an old man appeared. I assumed he was the wizard. The wizard waved his staff over Cierin, and pink smoke floated up. Cierin was all better as far as we could tell. But now we had to go to a cave to get the wizard's real staff that the newts had stolen. Oh, and I got my staff and crossbow, Loseckiy got his bow, Carnello got his sword, because while Cierin was talking to the wizard we told him about the noise we had heard, and he sent Nim'sha, Glorfindal, me and Carnello out to investigate. Glorfindal flew over the water, to find the wreckage of the ship, because it had blown up, and we got our stuff back. Most of it anyway.
   While we were setting up to go to the cave to get the wizard's staff, I got tired of eating berries, so I went to the wizard, and asked if he wanted help growing his plants. He didn't, he said he'd turn me into a newt if I didn't leave. After he closed the door I found the measly garden, and helped them to grow. The wizard was upset and told me to take them away. So I took some of the plants, roots and all, and planted them near the cave we were staying in. They were yummy.
   Then we finally set off to the cave. Oh yeah, and while I was at the Wizard's he mentioned that Cierin only had ten days to live and get the staff back to him. They went back and talked to the wizard, and he changed it to 30 days. It took us about two weeks to walk all the way to the cave, but we made it, and we were tired.
   Nim'sha and I went into the cave first. After 45 minutes, no one had followed us, so I stopped. Nim'sha kept going. Soon after Mousy came by, and I told her that Nim'sha was ahead. It was just a long tunnel so far. The rock was luminescent, so we didn't need a torch or anything. After awhile, the other people came too. We walked down the lighted cave tunnel until we got to a large circular cavern with six other routes going out. On the farthest right one there was a mark. Mousy had gone ahead before, so we assumed she made the made and went down that one.
   TV went ahead and sped down the right middle tunnel. Glorfindal went down the left middle tunnel. Then the rest of us split up and went down different tunnels. Cierin wanted us to come back in three hours. We hadn't gotten very far. I went with Carnello down the farthest left one, but then we had to come back. He seemed to be his normal self again, and he couldn't remember burning my hand or the trees. TV came back too, and Glorfindal. Glorfindal had gone into a place with a million whispering voices. Cierin asked Carnello to psychic project into the caves to find something. While he was doing that, TV ran down the other middle tunnel, then came back, and went down the farthest left tunnel. He came back from that, and grabbed Nim'sha. When Carnello came back, he said he'd encountered a barrier, so we split up into two teams to go down the remaining two tunnels. Oh, and Mousy and Nim'sha had gone down the farthest right tunnel they found a pool of water with an alter floating above it, and a place to put a book next to a hatch on the alter.
   Cierin went with Loseckiy and Cythera. Glorfindal and Caster were staying behind. Carnello got Mousy and me. We went down the tunnel until we got to a large cavern with tons of treasure.
   In the treasure room, there was tons and tons of jewelry and gold, so Carnello was obsessed, and then I found books. Mousy was happy because she just likes wealth. After a time, the others were contacted, and they came down. I put on some chain mail armor, and wrapped up a bunch of books in some cloth and ropes, so I could carry it. Carnello was covered in jewelry, and even had a tiara. Mousy stuffed a bunch of jewels in her backpack. I think everyone took some treasure. We got the staff too. We would probably have to give it back to the wizard anyway, but it was nice just to have it. With only three days left out of the thirty fro Cierin to live, we got back to the wizard's place and had t ogive him all the stuff or he'd turn us into newts, and Cierin would die. Mousy wouldn't give back all she took, and the wizard knew. Caster read Mousy's mind and then teleported the treasure that she had hidden to the wizard. Oh and the wizard had Cierin's star sword. TV asked the wizard to turn him into a newt, and he did. We were surprised by that. Even though he had healed Cierin, it seemed like he couldn't do that much magic. Cierin asked for his sword back, and the wizard said it was with the newtv. He also said that TV would change back in three days. So we took the newt with us back to the cave. The cave where I had planted a garden in front, not the cave we got the staff from.
   We hadn't been watching too closely, so TV turned back into a T'sa, and sped away with Cierin's star sword. We went through a long search, using the psychics to locate the sword. After a while, a few days I think, TV left the sword hidden, and came back because he was hungry, and hadn't been eating. So Cierin got his sword back then, and we realized we still needed to go after Beatrice and the pirates. We went back to the docks, and asked a guy how much it would cost to hitch a ride for all of us. It would add up to about 4,000 gold. So we had to try and figure out how to make money. Nim'sha wanted us to become a circus with all the funny looking aliens (like her) in cages for people to see, but no one wanted to do that. We argued for a time, I'm not sure if I left before they figured out what to do or not. Anyway, I grew some flowers and sold them. I got 20 gold. I started living in the forest on the edge of town. When Carnello and TV came by to get healed, I gave them the 20 gold. Obviously they were trying to get money, and I knew I probably couldn't help so I didn't try. They said they were freeing horses.
   I used my animal spell to make friends with some of the forest animals. I even gave some of them names. I named a squirrel that was reddish colored Bushy, a cute little fox Autumn, a racoon Fingers, and rabbit Fluffy, and I was happy. I started worrying about what would happen when we had to leave. Would the animals want to come with me? Should they? After all, this was their home, and I shouldn't make them come with me just to have some friends. I was thinking of selling surplus food for money. I still didn't know what anyone else was doing, and I hadn't seen any of them besides Carnello and TV for almost a week. I still wished for a few books to read now and then. If too much time passes, I might plant a bean in the hopes of getting a tree that grows books. Maybe I could control what the bean grows a little bit.

FOURTEENTH SESSION (June 12^th, 2002)
    Soon after I ran down the road, Carnello came after me and I joined the group again. It was just Cierin, Loseckiy and Carnello now. They got their trophies from the dead bodies, and I think we might’ve buried them, just to stop the stench.
               Then, we walked a little more, a tree suddenly burst into fire. It caught on some other trees and started spreading. I had to do something. So I did the weather spell. It started raining, and put the fire out. It kept on raining though. Afterwards, the Seshayen, Loseckiy wanted me to stop the rain. He was going to threaten me with his bow. As he turned it towards me, I tried the weather again, and lightning struck down to hit Cierin, and knock him out. So I tried again and got the rain to stop. I didn’t have any magic left over for the day. We had to find a shelter. I had to carry Cierin to the cave Loseckiy found. We slept there. In the morning I had to do the heal spell on Cierin. I felt really bad about him getting hurt like that, so I had to fix it.
                After I healed a lot of damage on Cierin, we moved on. It took about four days of walking, but we made it to the village. Oh, and I think on the way we met another carriage. The driver seemed to think all magic was bad, and that there was an evil wizard. We asked for a ride to the city, and he wouldn’t answer, just started to go away, so I asked the horses to stop. When they did the driver was very fearful. He still wouldn’t answer us and he obviously wasn’t going to lend us a ride, so I let the horses go. On the way to the city, we had come up with a story for our funny clothes, and my green skin. Loseckiy would just have to stay hidden.
                Oh yes, we were looking for the princess Beatrice. We asked about her in the bar, but they didn’t know. We asked some pirates (Loseckiy did) and got some info. She was taken in a ship bearing east, towards the pirate’s stronghold. Also there were some “freaks, monsters” hidden up in a cave and surrounded by angry villagers. We went to check it out.
                There were about a hundred of them, crowded around a cliff, near a cave. They were going to light some bundles of hay on fire and put them in the cave to “smoke the monsters out!” I borrowed a crossbow from them, because I had lost the other one when I had lost my clothes and armor, and turned green. We kept trying to think of a plan, to get the people away from the cave, but we didn’t come up with much. I remember that they wanted me to use my elemental spell as a distraction, so I did, but it didn’t help much. Then I planted a bean. It grew into a beanstalk into the clouds; it was yellow. A lot of the farmers ran to climb it. When they started falling off it, they chopped it down. There was a blank in my memory then, but I was farther into the forest with Cierin and Carnello.
                There were some things that happened in between there, and I’m probably missing a lot, but the next bean I did 100 feet from the edge of the forest. It became a very deep hole, down into the cave. The people down there came up. I recognized Nim’sha the T’sa and Glorfindal the Seshayen who was in the psychic game against the elves. There was another elf with dark hair named Juikion. Cythera a human, and a purple winged thingee. A mutant I think. There was another person, a T’sa that they said had dove into the water, and hadn’t come back. But then he popped up right beside us, and we found out that he could breath water. So we left the hole, the cave, and the angry mob.
                Back at the town there weren’t many people. There were eleven of us in the group now, since Stovetop ran off, and Xiana stayed on the ship. We decided to steal a pirate ship to go after the pirates that kidnapped the princess. Juikion the hot elf got the guards distracted with some beer, while the rest of us snuck onto the ship. As we untied the ship, I used my storm spell to help blow us away. Some other ship started following us, and we found out that the ship only had supplies for about two days.
                The purple flying one, and the Seshayens went to do battle with the other ships, and then came back, and Carnello went with the Seshayens under the decks, and I was helping with the manning of the ship which T.V. the T’sa was directing. We were planning on coming back at a different city to get supplies, before we headed all the way out to sea. If they got some seeds, and dirt, I could grow food for us. Fresh vegetables and vine plants like watermelon, strawberry, grapes, beans, rice, maybe even wheat. Oh, and corn. I wouldn’t want to do trees though, because they would need a root system which the ship wouldn’t allow. I should learn more about plants.
                After a while, we heard fighting down below, and T.V. went down after them. We all did too. The door was closed. I talked to the captain pirate. I tried to bargain so we wouldn’t have to fight them. I asked if he liked art, and told him how I can paint, He said that I could stay in one of the jail cells and he would kill all the rest of them. I couldn’t agree to that. So I let them throw In the gas that knocked them out. After a while, we couldn’t hear anything, so someone tried to open the door and couldn’t. I think we took the hinges off and found beds piled behind it. So someone cut a hole through the beds and we started fighting.
                Then we ran up to the deck, with the pirates chasing us, and I had to drag Cierin because his artifact had kicked in. Then I stopped dragging Cierin to fight the pirates.

THIRTEENTH SESSION (June 8^th, 2002)

The Weren got badly hurt in the fight, and when the Felpools were hurt, they disappeared. So we had to go free Stovetop and hire a doctor to fix the Weren because Stovetop couldn’t work on aliens. Okay, then we were going to go on a mission to find these criminals so we could have some money. While we were trying to get money, I did amazing painting, and went down to the planet to try to sell it. I couldn’t find any place that bought paintings. Then Cierin found me, and I told him what I was trying to do, so he found a place. But they would only pay 1,000 for it because he said that they have tons of paintings of trees done by elves. So I took the painting back. While we were on the planet Stovetop had driven the ship away to catch the criminals, but the Weren made them turn back, so we had to wait a day on the planet, and then we left.

We traveled to a planet they were supposed to be on, and landed on a grassy knoll. There was a large edifice or city like area, with massive stone walls and towers. We walked up to the door and knocked. The Weren was climbing the wall with the Fraal on his back meanwhile.

After some debate, we got them to let us in for trading. They took us to the trade smith. Cierin offered them some old guns for a piece of land and the use of a grizzly. I’m not sure if we gave them my painting or not, but when I mentioned trees, they said that it would be nice to have trees. So we got the idea to start an orchard on the piece of land we were getting.

We drove out to the piece of land we got near the cave and the piece of land the criminals were after got.

I think we were bored or something, because they all wanted me to start planting beans again. After a while their constant talking about it got to me, and I planted one. They all stood back. It was a bursting column of ammonia. I think we drove away. It leaked into a nearby lake. I figured since I had already planted one, and it seemed not that good, the next one might be better. So I planted another as my companions dwindled. I think I ran from it. But it didn’t do anything. The bean just popped back out of the ground. I was a little vexed by that. It should’ve done something! So I planted another one. I regretted it soon after.

A pillar of fire shot up from it, then converged into a ball that came to encircle me. Or orbit me. A little time passed, and then it started to get closer and was going to hit me. So I ran. It got closer and closer and I still couldn’t think of anything. I wondered if it was real fire, or if it could think. Or maybe, since I had planted it, it wouldn’t hurt me. When it had almost got to me, I had a fleeting thought that I might be able to talk to it, and I wanted to try so I stopped running.

It didn’t help. The ball of fire smashed right into me, but it didn’t hurt. That was because it turned into a LOT of bat guano, and covered me all over. It was stinky and yucky. So I stood there in shock for a while, because it seemed as if that couldn’t really happen to me. After some slight prompting, I went off to a nearby uncontaminated lake to wash off. But I still smelled. I made sure to take a while. I knew the others were going to go inside the cave, so I was going to stay out so I wouldn’t have to face them.

After a while, when they still hadn’t come out, I was entertaining the idea of planting beans in a semicircle around the entrance of the cave. I thought about it for a time, and then actually did it. Six seeds. At this point I didn’t care what happened, as long as something happened. The first bean sprouted into a huge maple tree from which the fruity smell of alcohol wafted. The second bean grew into a towering rock which blocked the cave entrance. The third bean changed into a platinum kidney stone. The fourth bean flashed brightly before disintegrating my crossbow, my armor, and (unfortunately) my clothes. The fifth bean gave me dark green skin (I wonder if it would’ve been the same if I had been wearing clothes). The sixth, and last bean sprouted a vein of iron in the rock ground, and it traveled into the cave, I don’t know how far.

I wondered what those inside the cave were doing. I hoped there was another way out, because it was basically my fault that the entrance was blocked. I climbed up the new fruity smelling alcohol tree, and picked some of the fruit. Then I came down, and planted it. I used one of my new spells to make it grow faster.

Then the rock blocking the entrance to the cave started to crack. I panicked and ran off to the lake, where they wouldn’t be able to see me naked and green.

Carnello found me, and lent me his clothes. He was wearing just his armor then. Stovetop drank some of the alcoholic tree sap. He liked it a lot. They all decided to commercialize it. So the Fraal decided we needed lots of defenses, and they left to buy some land mines. I stayed and grew about 20 more trees during their four day departure. Trees. Not beans.

Then they came back. I’m not exactly sure if they were actually able to get some defenses or not. Well, then I got back in the ship, and some of them went to look at the settlement we had gotten the grizzly from earlier. I stayed in the ship, and took multiple showers and baths because I still smelled like bat guano. I also got another set of clothes. My own clothes, not Carnello’s. Then they called me because they needed someone with first aid. At the settlement almost everyone was dead except for two Felpools Carnello was able to find with his gauntlet machine thingee. The first was a man whose injury was a broken back. That’s why they needed me to stabilize him, so they could take him onto the ship. The other was a woman whose arm was almost cut off.

So we got them onto the ship and drove off to a Felpool hospital for them to fix them up. I tried my healing spell on them on the way. After we dropped them off, we went to the office for the quest Carnello was going to go on to get his knighthood. There was a portal into which the Emperor’s daughter Beatrice was abducted. Carnello was saying that the rest of us were his squires. Well, we went through the portal. There was a dirt path between lots of trees. We walked down that for a while before a carriage came by. He yelled “Monster!” because of the Weren, and galloped the horses off. All of us didn’t look exactly human except for Cierin. I had pointy ears, white hair, and green skin. Carnello had little raccoon ears. Stovetop had the ears too, plus green hair. Then we had a Seshayen with the wings, a Fraal with a spindly frame and huge eyes, the hairy Weren, and a little green T’sa with a huge gun. Besides that, we had weird clothes compared to theirs. This was obviously a fantasy world. I would fit right in. I could do magic! But I wondered if their humans were on friendly terms with their elves or not.

Well, we walked down the path for the rest of the day, until the sun started to set. We were gonna go a bit farther, and I thought we should’ve hitched a ride on the carriage. I could’ve made the horses do what we wanted.

Anyway, about then we all heard Leon over the comm. System telling Dayhawk (sufficient the Fraal) how it was nothing personal, but he was going to kill him. So Leon fired his gun a few times while I hid in the shadows of a tree, and the Fraal got killed. It turned out Stovetop hired Leon, and the Weren (Bobo) wanted revenge or death, so he and Stovetop had a duel. It was too much killing for me. Deliberate killing for petty, stupid inconsequential reasons was so stupid and pointless, and I had no way to stop it without getting hurt myself. So I ran down the road. Far down the road. But I still didn’t get to a town, so I stopped.

TWELFTH SESSION (May 25th, 2002)

We left off at Paul Potter’s cottage. He was asking if anyone was Cambodian. We, of course, had no idea what he was talking about. I think it was Carnello who tired him, or someone shot him. When he was knocked out, we tied him up with the duct tape that Stovetop had. Stovetop had stayed behind, and took a little while to catch up. Then we stashed the duct-taped man in a closet and left.

We were walking in the forest for a while when we came upon a bar. Inside it was very quiet. No one was talking, drinking, or smoking. We asked the bartender about it, and he pointed to a sign on the wall that said “No drinking, talking, or smoking.”

Stovetop got a carton of beer. When all the people went out of the bar they suddenly started talking. They also walked to a big building. They said it was a library. They were smoking inside it and making it stinky. I had to sign up for a library card to get some books. Then I left the building because it smelled like smoke.

Now I was carrying the bag of beans and a bag of books. We walked a little while when some guys on mopeds came by. First they asked if I wanted to go snowboarding with them. I don’t like the cold. Then they asked if we wanted to go surfing. Finally they asked us to come see the talking tree. So we got on mopeds, and followed them to the tree. The tree looked normal except a woman was part of the trunk, and stretching outward from it. She asked me what my mission was. I said I didn’t know because no one had told me. Stovetop was the one who spoke to the elves, but all he told us was that we were going on a journey, and that we had to eat the mushrooms. So then the tree lady told me that I was doing this so that I could have magic. Also that I needed to save trees on the planets where they were destroying the ecosystem and such. So I agreed.

Then we all woke up under a pile of bodies. I had a new staff in my hands. The elves all cheered for us, and Stovetop translated that they were happy because we only took three months. Guido commed us, and asked us where we were. We told him, and then we had to go to a big feast the elves were having.

Then, after a while, or a day, we got back to the ship. We went back to Carnello’s place. I went to the stores and stuff to buy plants and dirt. Some elves came by and picked a fight. When Stovetop got mad, they proposed a kind of game instead of a fight. The game was sort of like soccer. But using Telekinitics instead of your arms and legs. You only had to get three points to win. We did, and fairly fast, and that was the end of that.

We picked up some new people when we played. A Fraal and a Weren and a Seshayen. Can’t remember their names. When we got back, Carnello wanted to become a knight, get knighted. On the ship, the authorities searched our ship and found the drugs that Stovetop had that I didn’t even know about. The Fraal helped with his capture, and they took Stovetop away with the drugs.

I think we were on our way to the place where Carnello was supposed to go to get the mission to get knighted when another ship came, and boarded us. It was some Felpools, and we were fighting them. I hid under a truck or something, so I wasn’t hurt much.

ELEVENTH SESSION (May 11th, 2002)
    We were stuck in the dead of space. The androids wanted to go back to the LiveWire base to see if anything was left. We got back, and after looking around, found the place deserted. The androids got a new base or something, I don't remember, and they were going to fix our ship. They gave us a smaller ship to travel in without the pschoportation.
    Then we traveled back to Eniko to try and get the broach from him. It took three months and I learned more Felpool on the way. When we got there, and met up with the guy, he wanted us to play poker with him. He won most of them, and Rye the mechelus won 1,200 credits.
    Then Cierin asked for the broach, but the guy still wouldn't give it to us. He agreed to gamble for it though. So we ended up gambling away the weapons on our borrowed ship, the slippers we got from Dorothy, an amazing painting I did, Darius's artifact, and Xiana and me for a week. Microwave had a dimsim thing that he sold to Eniko for 300 credits. We got the broach by Microwave outright trading his nano-computer alien artifact for the broach.
    They were going to wait the week before leaving again. While Eniko was gone, Xiana and I explored his place, and she picked the locks. When she couldn't open one door, I broke it down. Just as the door was broken down, Eniko came back. He was upset.
    "You broke down my door! You ruined my locks!"
    "It's just a door."
    "Call your friends. Tell them to take you back."
    So we did, and Cierin talked to Eniko some.
    "So you're going to pay us to take them back?!"
    "Yes, just take them, I'll give you the rest of the broach, and the slippers back!"
    So they were coming back. I forgot where they went. I tried to take some books before leaving, but he had the guards stop me. Then he was going to leave.
    "I have to go on a business trip."
    Xiana wanted to get all of the stuff back from him. So she charmed, and then seduced him. He offered to have her come along on his trip, but she decided not to, and he left. We then went outside his building and waited.
    Then a loud voice (the NGC) called out, telling everyone to put their hands up and surrender. The rest of our group was just on their way to pick us up, and they got caught. Xiana hid in the shadows of the building. I went back in. Then Cierin comm. us, and told us to go find a dock to get off at because they were in a boat getting away.
    When the boat came, Xiana took me, and glided to the boat. Rye was driving. After getting in the boat we had to try and pick up Microwave, who had been captured. He was in a helicopter. The seshayen was firing his arrows at it, and Microwave was trying to get out. When he finally did get out, he was very high above the water, and the impact, when he finally hit; killed him.
    Rye successfully drove the boat to the shore where we got off and onto the landing pod or spaceship to leave. It took three months again to get back, and I had my birthday on the way, so I'm 25 now. We took the body of Microwave with us back to LiveWire where we got our old ship all fixed up. It's huge now! With four stories and a labyrinth of rooms, and a holodeck or three that work and all the ship systems work! So we sent Microwave out in a torpedo case. It wasn't a very good funeral. I was surprised that we even had one, because we didn't have one for Keagin, Ander, or Noodles(though he committed suicide).
    We played around on the ship for a while, and I put an extensive playground program in the holodeck. With swings and slides and tunnels going through and all around it.
    The next thing we were to do was go and get Carnello's paycheck. We had new, super powered psychoportation device, and it was able to take us to his galaxy in two trips.
    I think we stopped at a station. It was sending us advertisements in the Felpool language. I understood a few words here and there, but not much. Carnello talked to the officials and we got in. We went to his apartment, he fed his fish and checked his mail. He got a message in the mail that his cousin Stovetop had moved next door.
    he called him, and when Stovetop saw me, he spoke something in a weird language. Then he was surprised, and said(in Standard):
    "What? You don't even know your own language?"
    I was confused. I didn't even know if other elves existed, let alone that they still had their own language. Stovetop had green hair, and was tall for a Felpool, at 5'7" I think. He went out with the rest of us for drinking and dancing. I don't know why. At the restuarant/bar whatever, they got some drinks (actually only Cierin and Carnello did), and I danced (horribly) with Carnello. Then Xiana was thinking insults at people (who were mind readers), and almost got in a fight, so we got thrown out. Then we went to Stovetop and Carnello's apartments and went to sleep. Some of them had to sleep on the floor or a couch. I got a bed.
    In the morning we were planning on visiting the elven planet! I had seen some other elves walking around, and was very excited. I wondered if they knew anything about my parents, or why I was dropped off on a human planet.
    With Stovetop helping the new psychoportation device and Carnello, we got to the planet real fast. We used one of our new landing pods (yeah!) to get down to the planet. It was very forested with only a few small villages here and there. Stovetop was the only one that could speak Elven. So he spoke to the elves, and told them about me.
    The elves had us go into a little hut, and told us to eat mushrooms. So we went into the hut and ate the mushrooms. Then we all blacked out. When we woke up things seemed normal, but the village was empty.
    We walked around for a while. I can't remember which was first, but when we went into the forest, we met some druids smoking pipes. They had me crack a piece of rock from a boulder, and then we had to move it to the stone henge. Either before we went into the forest, or right after we came out, a guy came by rolling a cart of tea and cake came by us.
    "Tea and cake or death?" he asked us.
    This was getting weird. We all took tea and cake. But didn't have the tea, and Daruis, Cierin and Rye didn't get either, because he had run out, so they had to get death (whatever that meant). But they didn't die right then. There was a building, tavern, where our landing pod was supposed to be. On the way there, there was a newly wed couple in their wedding outfits burning in a ditch. From the tavern we could hear the "12 Days of Christmas" song. But when we got there, the words were changed. Xiana tried singing along, but it didn't work, because the words were different.
    When we walked in the people were throwing pots and pans at a guy who looked like Hitler, and he was painting a picture. The bartender wanted us to join in. I didn't. It was stupid, and I had no reason to humiliate him like that. He finally stopped painting in frustration, and ran outside. Everybody cheered.
    "Yeah! We stopped Hitler!"
    "Actually, we probably helped him," Darius said.
    I knew what he meant. That now that Hitler couldn't be a painter, he would become a politician. I thought that was stupid. I didn't know what I was supposed to do. So I started running through the forest. Some squirrels started following me. Then I got the the Stone Henge, and it used to be wooden, now it was hay. The wolf came by and blew it down. Then I ran some more and found a tree house with squirrels in it, putting lipstick and makeup on. I french braided their tails before they ran away.
    Then I got down and ran some more through the forest, and found the village again. The newly wed couple in the ditch weren't completely dead. They said that babies on spikes were the key. I didn't want to see any babies on spikes the way they described it. They'd have to be dead and impaled. Then the same guy that offered "tea and cake or death" was there, putting dead babies on spikes. It was disgusting. After the guy was done putting the babies on spikes, he got a ton of trash and held it over his head.
    "I am Modern art!" he exclaimed. Then he went down into the sewer. Stovetop, Cierin and Carnello arranged the babies into a pentagon. Oh, and before, the guy asked m to put babies on spikes too.
    "It's the American dream!"
    I threw up.
    But nothing happened when the babies were arranged into a pentagon. The guy came back from the sewer (not smelling too good) with a bag of what looked like rocks. He said they were beans and they were for me. So I had to take them. I gave the first bag to Darius, but then I got another bag. I didn't know what to do with them. So I put one in a baby's mouth. When nothing happened, I planted one in the ground, and it grew into a T-shirt tree. Cierin took a T-shirt. I was just confused, so I planted another one. It was a transparent humongous beanstalk. Going up into the clouds where we could hear loud stomping.
    The next one I planted was a frozen cone thingee, that was so cold it hurt. I wondered, and then thought a bit, and then planted a seed at the base of each of the five spikes in the pentagon they had arranged. But they didn't grow. So I ran, and dropped one in the ditch with the (almost) dead newly wed couple. It wouldn't grow. I went into the forest.
    It was getting late and I was tired. We came to a house with the sign "Paul Potter" (I think) on it. There was a guy living there, a human. That surprised me because this was supposed to be an Elven planet. He said he was in house arrest. Then he pulled out a knife and tried to attack me. But I dodged it. Then Carnello pulled the knife from his psychically. And that was where we ended.

TENTH SESSION (April 27th, 2002)
   In the ship on the planet with the dragon and the vampires. We let Carnello out of the brig because he was the non-Cierin killing one. We couldn't decide what to do next. Cierin still wanted to get the broach, Microwave wanted to get more penguins, and his paychedck, and Carnello wanted his paycheck fro mthe other galaxy. So we decided randomly because the votes were all tied or messed up. We were first to get the penguins for Microwave, then get Microwave's paycheck, then get the broach, and then visit the Felpool galaxy for possible repairs, and Carnello's paycheck.
   We went back to the station Microwave came from, and he talked with the cyber boss. They were planning an attack on the mutants, and they needed more infantry. So we were volunteered.
   We got in there, and started fighting. Then there was a big blank. Only Xiana and I were left. I don't know what happened to the others. A winged mutant came down and caught me up, but I broke free, and fell pretty hard. Then I ran as fast as I could away because I didn't like being the only one left to fight.
   When I went back to the ship, Microwave was doing operations on people already. They had gotten hurt pretty bad. So he fixed us all up in two days. Then we remembered that we left Xiana there, and that we should go back and get her. Microwave grabbed Carnello, and teleported back to the place, to get all the prisoners out. When they got out, Microwave was finally able to get the three penguins from the cybers, and we had to put them in the cargo bay. The next thing we did was go and pick up Microwave's paycheck. We also had to give the people who were paying him a radio signal, so they could call him. We set up two different identities for our ship so that the messages for him wouldn't encounter the illegal messages we send.
   Then we had to go look for the broach. We asked the ouji board some, and all it mentioned was either Deep Fallen or Blue Fallen. I can't remember which.
   We met this Lorenzo guy and I think he gave us a message, from Ugly, and we were to go meet him at Blue Fallen. We also found out his real name when we got there. Eniko, which means "reign of terror" or "time of terror". He owned an extensive mining operation, and thus had lots of power. He said he had the broach, and the dragon thing had just been a test. Oh, and during the whole journey Lorenzo ate a whole lot. That was all he did. He looked like skin and bones though, and was really tall.
   So we met with Ugly (Eniko) and he agreed to give Cierin the broach if he would get in contact with LiveWire for him, because he wanted to meet them. So we called LiveWire, and talked about it, and arranged a meeting spot for them. Cierin wanted to be in the meeting but Eniko wanted to discuss "private matters" with LiveWire.
   Oh, and we got to talk to Kirpatrick again. He was having fun making android women. Right about the time the meeting started, Kirpatrick called us, and announced that they were under attack from the NGC, the current government that put tags in our arms.
   So we zoomed over to the LiveWire base being attacked, and fought some of the ships with our pitiful weapons, and landed. Then Microwave, Cierin, Loseckiy, and Carnello went out and disabled a lot of the ground weapons. Oh, Lorenzo did too. We picked up a bunch of androids too, and Kirpatrick came aboard. When the others got back to the ship with some new weapons, we took off, and away from the planet. Then Carnello used the psychoportation device to get us as far away as possible. But no one was navigating the ship so we ended up in a random place in space, a dead area without planets or anything for a long distance.
   The ship was in horrible condition. No sensors, no lights, no communications, and power severely low. We were desperate, so I tried fixing some of the communications so we could at least talk to Guido. It worked! The psychoportation still worked, so we had to wait for Carnello to get back his psi so we could go somewhere.

NINTH SESSION (March 23rd, 2002)
    We started where we left off; trying to get the broach from the dragon Vargus. But since it hadn't worked, we couldn't think of another way to get it. Microwave wanted a penguin that would bite Cierin in the butt. So we traveled back to the Orbital Star, and he contacted the cybers. They were willing to get him his penguin and an environmental control thingee if he got some data from the mutants.
    There was a shield around the mutant complex. We all went with him. Carnello sneaked up to the door, I think Nim'sha was with him. When they got to the front door, they asked if they could join. They were told that in oder to apply, they had to dye their hair red and then, they would decide if they liked them or not. So we gave up momentarily, because we couldn't come up with any ideas.
    So Microwave was frustrated, and decided to walk in there anyway. The guards caught him, took him inside, and that was the last we saw. Oh, and then he teleported out right by us, and then teleported away again.
    We waited a while and then went back to the ship I think. Then we went and asked the cybers if they had seen Microwave. They hadn't. A little while later, we found out that he was with the cybers after all. But the guards hadn't seen him, so he must've teleported in.
    With him, there was this cute girl wearing a hooded cloak. She wanted to see the dragon Vargus, so Microwave teleported with her to see him. She came back disillusioned. She said that she thought he would be nice because she had a half sister who was half dragon. We took her inside the ship. Carnello showed her to her quarters all gentlemanly like. Then, later, he recited a love poem to her. Sounds like someone has a crush!
    The next day, or something, Carnello and Cierin went outside to talk about something. Microwave was in the med bay, having fun with his alchohol. Oh, and Microwave had been lately taking blood from, and giving injections to Carnello.
    Then we got a comm. from Cierin, that he needed help, and was being attacked! So we all rushed outside, and the new girl had wings under that cloak of hers. When I finally got to where they were, since Carnello was attacking Cierin, and I'd known Cierin for a long time, I shot a crossbow bolt at Carnello. Eventually Carnello was knocked out. So we carried him inside the ship, and put him in the psi brig. Microwave was extremely drunk at that time. I can't remember her name, but the girl with the wings, who Carnello Ancreman recited the love sonnet to, she and I were by Carnello when he woke up. He was very upset but couldn't remember a lot of stuff. Then Microwave finally told us about his experiment trying to find a cure for his problem. What he had really been doing was bringing out the personality that had tried to kill Cierin, and had read the sonnet.

EIGHTH SESSION
    When we got back to the ship, Microwave was knocked out, asleep. So we didn't have anyone to fix up all our wounds. I have first aid, so I stopped some of their wounds from getting worse. We had to wait for him to wake up. When he did, he operated on everyone with serious mortal wounds. Then the med kits were used up, so anymore wound he healed, he used Cierin's combat knife, and other odds and ends.
    We were stuck by the planet though, because we didn't have a psychic to power our engines. So during that time I did an ordinary painting of Ander, Noodles, and Keagin. I hung it in my quarters. It was a sort of memorial thing.
    Then we met a burnt up escape pod. Microwave welded the door shut because he was being paranoid. So then we had to get him to open it. We did introductions, and Carnello Ancreman was the alien aboard. He asked if any other Felpools were in the area. We told him about Ander and how he died. Then they were gonna set him back in space (or Microwave was), but Cierin found out he was a psychic, and we could use him to power our psycho-portation device. But he wanted to rest first, so he did, and then we left to go give the Book of Fire back to the old man. While there, he fixed up our sick bay, and got us the gun for Leon. He also had a message for Cierin. A paper envelope with a red wax seal. It was from an old friend of his, but he couldn't remember him very well. Cierin didn't want to read it, he asked Microwave or someone to read it.
    "What are you illiterate or something?"
    So he read it himself. The message said something about a Kostalitz family broach. Cierin's full name is Cierin Quinn(his mother's name) Kostalitz. His father has the same name except for the middle name. So Cierin wanted to get this family broach with all the family information stored in it. The message said it was in the Celestia system, and to look for "Clarissa".
    So Guido (the AI) took us there, but made a wrong turn, and ended up in the wrong system, but I don't remember what system. So we tried again. We went to the planet, and the general area that Clarissa was supposed to be. We couldn't find her, so we asked on of the locals. He said that she was always in the bar, and pointed us in the right direction before scurrying off. We got there, Cierin asked the bartender where she was. He wouldn't answer so Cierin had to try bribing him, but it wasn't exactly working. Then he had Carnello suggest to him, and he told. Cierin went to the table in the back and spoke with the dark figure. She told us that a dragon that changes into a Weren sometimes had the broach. She also wanted us to take her little T'sa friend with us. The T'sa was Nim'sha. A hacker.
    We went to the fortress where the dragon was supposed to live. We snuck in through the fence. They all jumped over, then Carnello cut a hole through the fence and crawled through. I crawled through too. Then we went to the building. I looked into one of the windows and saw a library with a figure inside, reading. I like books. So fun. Nice.
    Oh, and then there were some guards, and we all had to hide. I didn't hide very well, and they caught me. Carnello too. There was a female Felpool in the guards, and Carnello tried speaking the Felpool language to her, but she didn't respond. I could tell Carnello was very curious about her. We had to leave though.
    The others were still in there, and tried to get in, but they were caught too, except for Nim'sha. She was sneaking, and not getting caught. Even Cierin couldn't find her when they got caught. She had almost made it to the back door when Microwave teleported in, got her, and teleported out. Then Leon came while we were back at the ship, rethinking our plan. He was very happy with his new gun. So we redid our plan, and jumped the fence without leaving a hole, because the hole was what had clued them in before about us being there.
    So we got in this time, with Leon. Oh, yeah, and during all this time, since the Oz adventure, Darius the Mechelus was getting cravings for Microwave the Mechelus's blood. And he was getting fatigued from nothing. I gave him the book Dracula to read. Then he wanted to be a vampire with all those special powers.
    Oh, and when we got in, we went down lots of different hallways, until we came to the library that I had seen through the window before. I started in on reading all the books right away. There were so many, and I hadn't read a lot of them before. Then Cierin inspired me, and I had to leave the books. We met some guys playing cards, poker I think. Ander, wait, no Ander is dead, the other Felpool, Carnello did psychic projection to spy on them, but one of them was a psychic too, and detected him, then did psychic projection himself. Carnello hurried back to his body. So then the guards playing poker knew we were there. They came and asked us what we were doing.
    "Um, we're looking for a job!"
    "Go ask the Seshayen in the library."
    So we went back, and I started reading again. There were a lot of books in other languages, and I thought how I was limiting myself by only knowing one language. If I knew more, then I could read so many more books! Then a while later, Cierin came in and got me out again. We were going to fight some guards so that we could get into the high tower where the dragon with Cierin's family broach could be.
    But on the way we got distracted, and Carnello had the Felpool girl's earrings from when he stole them earlier and knocked her out. She was back for revenge. When he wouldn't give them back to her, she beat him up. Cierin didn't like that, because we needed him for our ship battery. If she killed him, then we wouldn't be able to move our ship. So Cierin stopped her after she knocked Carnello out. Leon got carried away with his new gun and shot it off through the wall, and killed her. Microwave had been healing her, because he didn't like Carnello too much, and so he decided to like her. When she was killed by Leon's blast, Microwave blamed his "patient"'s death on Cierin, because Leon was going to defend him from the vampire Darius. So she was dead, and Carnello was knocked out.
    Sometime in there, Nim'sha was allowed to go up to the tower, and look around. She saw a map, and a Weren counting his money, and making it disappear. The others thought that he was transporting his gold to a cave. I thought he was just shrinking it, and hiding it under his scales like in the stories abotu the dragons. So when we went back, they let Carnello look at the map too. When he came back, he said we had to go back to the ship for him to draw it out.
    So he did, and then said that we should sleep before going to the cave in the middle of the forest. We did.
    Then he came to my room, and played his flute for me. Said he was practicing and wanted to know how well he had played. I said his playing was pretty good. I didn't mention that he suddenly seemed like a great person, and I admired him that he could just pull out an instrument on the spur of the moment, during the adventure, and all these things going on. I think it would be nice if he played his flute while I sang. I need to practice more. I wonder if I could do a painting of him too. If I could do it well enough to make it actually look like him.
    So, then he wanted to look at the silver slippers I was still wearing from the Wizard of Oz. I couldn't figure out why he wanted them. But he kept bugging me, so I let him wear them, even if they looked too girly for a guy.
    "They look beautiful on my feet," he said when he got them on.
    Weird.
    Anyway, we went to sleep. In the morning we all walked to the cave because the ship couldn't make it through the underbrush, and all the trees.
    The cave was very dark.
    "Here's a light for Eowyn," Carnello said as he lit up some psychic light.
    Then we could see better. We went down the way he said to go, but then we came up to a dead end. We looked for a secret passage, but didn't find one. Then Cierin asked Carnello to psychically project his spirit out, and look through the stone. He said he was nauseous, and he didn't want to. He still was wounded pretty bad from his fight with the other Felpool. They yelled at him and stuff, but he still wouldn't do it.
    So we went back to the ship. They asked him again, after Microwave had healed him, but he was still nauseous. Then he changed personality. He looked at his feet and was all:
    "Why am I wearing these girl shoes?"
    "Remember? You wanted to wear them, you kept bugging me about it. You said they looked pretty on your feet," I responded.
    "Huh?"
    He didn't remember going to the cave either. So we asked him if he could astral project again, and he said yeah. He went off to find the cave. But he didn't find anything, and there was no stash of treasure. We went back to the tower place, and we voted to go meet the dragon. I thought that we should just talk to him, because we probably couldn't kill him.
    So we went up to that room, and he was in Weren form, reading a book. I liked him already.
    We shouldn't kill him, I thought.
    He said he didn't have the broach, and had no knowledge of it. He also didn't have a cave. He said he wanted to be left alone to read his book. So we backed down, and now we have ot figure out where the broach is, who's lying, if there even is a broach, and what's up with the personality changing Felpool.

SEVENTH SESSION
   I missed the previous mission, but we aren't doing assassinations now. We were trying to get a gun for Leon from this old man. He originally wanted us to get him a Sherman Tank, but he changed his mind, and wanted us to get him The Book of Fire from a guy (Yirden) that had stolen it from him. He said we might find him on the Orbital Star Space station in the outer reaches. So we went off to look for it, and got directions from an old man plumber whose son lived there. It was next to a blue planet. When we finally got there, there were lots of different people. Lots of mutants, different gangs. Some were cybers, psychics, and others. When we went into a bar, they asked us who we worked for. We said nobody. They were all angry and called us independants, and how we weren't allowed in. So something happened and he said:
   "Then I guess you work for the mutants."
   We got cheeseburgers. Then some mutants came in, with some fiery red hair(literally) chasing a Mechelus. We killed the mutants and the bartender said:
   "I guess you don't work for the mutants."
   So we left the bar, and got the mechelus (whose name was Microwave) to take us to the leader of the cybers. We talked with the leader and told him how we needed information about Yirden, and the book of Fire. He had the information, but wanted us to do him a favor first. We had to kill one of the mutant leaders who was causing problems for Microwave. So we went to the bar he told us he'd be at.
   The weren and I stayed outside because we objected outright slaughter, and wouldn't participate. When they finished killing him, we ran fast back to the cybers, and got our information. Yirden had taken the book to Oz. Oz was a powerful person/leader, on a green planet. So we were given the coordinates of the planet, and we flew over there. Microwave, the Mechelus came.
   Oh, I forgot, in the last adventure, Keagin got killed in a car crash, and Noodles (the seshayen) jumped out of an airlock.
   When we got to the planet, we couldn't see anything, only green. We lowered the ship into the atmosphere and we could see some farms. We decided to take the landing pod down and find out what we could.
   First, because we didn't want to scare the natives, who were human, I covered my pointy ears with my long hair. Ander was going to get something to cover his ears, but got caught up in something else.
   The two mecheluses and the Weren stayed behind because they looked too weird. Cierin made sure to wear long sleaves to cover his jagged scar on his arm from when they tried to cut it off with a chainsaw.
   The first house we saw was surrounded by a huge cornfield. Lots of salivating dogs in the front yard, behind a fence. Cierin and I went up to the yard. A farmer came out, wearing overalls and had a shotgun. We asked him a few questions. His name was Jake. He didn't know of any "Oz". there was no town, only cornfields, and the next house was 35 miles down the road. We gave up there and decided it might be different on the other side of the planet.
   When we landed on the other side it was the same. Except we landed in the road instead of in the cornfield. There was a house close by. But no dogs. So we went up to the front door of the house and knocked. A little boy answered. He wouldn't say much. But I found out that his dad was working out in the cornfield, and his mom was locked in the cellar pealing potatoes. We decided to play tic-tac-toe with the boy to wait for his dad to get back. He wouldn't tell us his name. He kept loosing tic-tac-toe. So then we played I Spy. Then Ander came out of hiding and started playing tic-tac-tor with him too. He also tried magic tricks, like making a rock float. I went into the house to look for his mom. I looked all around for a trap door, or something, but didn't find anything.
   Then I heard something from outside, and Ander had lighted the cornfield afire! We had to put it out. The mom came out of the cellar (which was outside) and made us put the fire out. Ander blamed the fire on the aliens that came by in their flying saucer. I didn't say anything, because it was sort of true. (We were the aliens).
   Then it started getting windy, and I wondered if a tornado was coming to take us to the land of Oz. The mom took the boy into the cellar and locked the door so that we couldn't get in. We ran into the house. I think I was the only one who knew the story about Dorothy, and the Wizard of Oz. So the tornado whipped the house a bit, and we all got knocked out.
   When we woke up, there were lots of little people. They were running from something, and hiding in the house. Some people with spears came and took some of the little people away to eat them. I decided to ask one of them hiding in the house where Oz was. He pointed.
   Ander was caught with the other midgets (he's only 4'5"). But he used his psychic powers to fly away. After they left I started walking down the road to Oz, which was the opposite direction the others were going. Then they decided to follow me, and I told them why I was going that way.
   When we got to Oz, we had to have an eye thingee flash. Everything was green. The next room, there were some receptionists, and they were wearing blue! We asked where to contact the wizard, but they wouldn't tell us. Oh, and a guy earlier, had told us that the Wizard seduced people. I wondered if the wizard was male or female, because it would make a difference to me. So we went through another door, and down a hallway. When we got to the end there was a field of poppies. I remembered what that meant, and I yelled "Run!" and everyone started running through them without knowing why. We all fainted before we got to the end.
   When we woke up, there was a lion close by. Dorothy with blonde hair came in, asking about Toto. Then she ran away. After we got up, we went to the next room, where Dorothy brought out a big machine gun from her picnic basket, and shot at us. Microwave beat her up. The Tin Man was chopping people, and Ander burned up the scarecrow. The lion ran away. In the next room we found a little ouji board that claimed to be Cierin's father. Then we went through the next door, and everyone else turned into Totos. Then the real Toto came in, and started biting, and we were all attacking each other. But we were lucky, and I think the Weren shot Toto, and killed him.
   Then we went on to the next room. We met the wizard. A pretty lady who flirted with Ander, then bit his lip. Then she turned into a giant demoness with a pair of eyes on each shoulder. When we tried to hurt her, the damage was transferred to Ander. So Ander thought he was the only one that could hurt her. So he damaged her, and did good, so good, that when the damage transferred to him, it killed him. Ander died.
   So then we could kill the demoness without worrying about hurting Ander. The demoness called for help, and the tow women in blue, the receptionists, and Yirden with the BoF (Book of Fire) came. I fought a little bit. I went behind the door and shot a crossbow bolt at the demoness. Then I decided to go get the silver slippers from off Dorothy's dead feet.
   They were all fighting, and it took me a while to get back with the shoes. When I got back I put the slippers on. Then one of the women wearing blue shot me. So I shot my crossbow at her. Then I went and kicked the lady that kept shooting me, and hurt me pretty bad. She fired her gun right in my face then, but I used a last resort, and didn't die. By then, the fighting was mostly over, and we got the Book of Fire. I tried clicking the heals of the slippers together, and saying "There's no place like home," but it didn't work. We had to go back in the hot air balloon.
   I'm thinking about painting a memorial for the dead Ander, and Noodles and Keagin too.

SIXTH SESSION
   At the space station there were some people. They wanted to send us on an assassination mission. To kill one of the 30 leaders in the new government. They sent with us two of the Mecheluses to help drive the ship and find out things for us.
   So then we drove to the planet that this leader was going to stay at. We did a recon. to see the hotel area for ourselves. We went to the dance room but no one was there. So we talked a bit, trying to formulate a plan, went back to the ship, and waited for the guy to come. Oh yeah, I can't dance, but since I sing pretty well, they said I could dance too. But that doesn't have to apply. Or maybe I could dance if I tried, but not well. Or I look dorky when I dance. I'm thinking about learning how to teach, so that I can have some pupils, and a real job. That's what the new government could assign me to. Then we'd have some new people living on the ship with us. I can't think of anything besides martial arts that I could teach though.
   After we got back to the ship, we finished formulating our plan. I'm not going into the details of the plan because we didn't go through with it. Sh'dya was in the room with a laser to kill the leader guy. But she didn't want to kill him. Cierin hadn't been listening to her protests. So we halted the assassination, and went back to the ship to sort things out. So Danny, Sh'dya, Rye, and me all voted to not kill the government leaders.

Eowyn Journal number Five
    After the druglord's yacht incident, (which I will not go into detail about, since I wasn't there), they drove the ship back to the planet, picked me up, and then beeped LiveWire to come. And they dropped Sh'dya and Leon off with us. Deedee (a girl that Danny picked up on the yacht), her real name was Sandy. She was on the ship and still recovering from wounds. So we used Sh'dya to power the drive in the ship because she's a psychic. Somewhere in there we got paid again by the government. So, because they wanted more guns and stuff, we went to this little moon. An old man there had collection of old artifacts. We were going to buy some of it, but the old man told us it would be cheaper to buy the newer stuff than the antiques. So we agreed to get the newer stuff instead, and he would arrange it. But we didn't have enough money. So the old man said that if we got him a Sherman tank from WWII, then he would give us the stuff. The tank was in a museum, heavily guarded, on Earth.
    So we set off wondering how we could get the tank through all the guards. Leon was still complaining how he still wasn't able to get his gun, and he had led us to the old man.
    We still had Sandy with us at that point, some of them tried interrogating her, but she didn't know anything. She just wanted to go home. I offered her a book to read, in case she got bored. But she said she couldn't read. So we moved her out of the brig and into some more comfortable quarters.
    Somewhere in there, we talked to another druglord, and he looked related to the druglord that we owed money to. We also, before that, made a bomb, and sent it down to where the dryglord's hideout was. It blew up, all flashing brilliantly, mushroom fireball.
    Then we landed somewhere else, and there was this long hallway. It was dimly lighted. At the end there was a bright light. When we got there, both druglords were there. I can't remember why or how we went to that planet.
    Oh, and before that, we gave Sandy back to the relative of the druglord. She was in the room with them too. There were a few guards, and a T'sa slave.
    "Well, well, well," remarked the druglord, "You owed me ten million before, but now, after what's happened; (I'm not even going to mention about your assassination attempt), I'd say you owe me a lot more. But I'm willing to forget all that, if you just go out and get me a certain Sherman tank from the museum on Earth.
    And I thought to myself, Everyone was a Sherman Tank!!
    So, anyway, we elected not to agree, and instead we ran back down the hallway. I was in the back so I got shot with the guns they were firing at us. Then we regrouped and decided to fight them. It was dark, so I was the only one with a semblance of vision. I could see hot and cold. So we went back and tried to fight them.
    I tried to hit a guy with my staff, and missed, then got him, but hardly hurt him. Then I got hit by friendly fire, because no one could see. The battle went on and someone killed the original druglord. Noodles carried me down the hall halfway, because I had been knocked out. Cierin got knocked out too. Then we finally got to the end of the hallway. Then Noodles saw a figure coming, and he knew we were all accounted for, so he shot the person. The person screamed when he got shot. He said his name was Ander, and he was a secret agent.
    Then we got to healing and Ander wanted outfits like ours. We were getting bored then, so we looked about for rebels against the new government. On a little moon, with four times earth gravity we met some poor people. They were only poor because they had resisted the new government. They had kept the government people off their planet, moon whatever. But they weren't willing to go offensive, or even join us. Most of them were pilots. Since Danny is leaving soon, we'll need a new pilot. So since those people weren't willing to go offensive, we searched again, and found a space station, and had just started talking to them.

FIRST SESSION
    Eowyn. My name. I’m an elf. A martial artist. I’m pretty forgetful. I have a code of honor not to kill anyone, unless in self defense or defending an innocent. No cold-blooded killing. I’m about 4'10", and I don’t talk too much. All through my childhood I wondered what made me different. I wasn’t raised with other elves. My parents that raised me were humans. I don’t know anything about my real parents. I trained for martial arts at the martial arts school in our small town. I did pretty good. But when I was 19, there was some big war. I was drafted for my martial arts skills. They also got me to use some of the cannons with help. When I saw all the dead bodies, and some of them were dead because of me, I was traumitized. All those people with their own lives, and families, and stories, they were gone now, and could never come back, because of me. They might’ve been drafted in to the war too, and didn’t even want to fight, and here, they were getting killed. It was just plain wrong, and I couldn’t participate any more. I tried to desert, but they caught me, and I couldn’t leave. I learned first aid too, to help in case of minor injuries. I never got a chance to learn more. When I was 24, one day I woke up in a different world.
    I was in a cryogenic pod. I don’t know how I got there, or how long it had been, but I was glad, because I was no where near my planet, or the military, and I was finally free. The ship I woke up in was called Mercaydyne. We were next to a green planet and a blue planet. They were becoming insubstantial, and melding together. Then things started fading away. I suggested that the fading away might have something to do with the planets, because they had to become insubstantial to phase into each other, and that might’ve been affecting us. Cierin (the leader) was trying to charm me.
    Then we tried to get away from the planets, but our major engines were out, and we were only moving very slowly. So then we were all fading out. I was the last one. The other people that were there were: McCain, the Werewolf, James Peirce,(casino addict) who also woke up from a cryogenic pod like me, Sh’dia, a blue T’sa, Carry(I think that was her name), Keagin (Scott’s character), Danny Kurpatrick, and I don’t remember anyone else.
    After I faded out, I woke up in a little box, shaped like a coffin. The others were there too. Sh’dia was able to get out. Then some guys with uniforms and guns came into the room we were in, and opened the boxes we were trapped in.
    “We’re here to escort you.” They said.
    So we got out and walked down some halls. Then we had to fight some androids. I used my martial artist skills, the others got guns and shot them. Oh, and when we got out of the boxes all we were wearing some risque hospital gowns. They were pretty annoying.
    Then we met some more people and they got us some clothes. We had a meeting with an Android guy. Danny was all fascinated with him, because he wanted to take him apart and learn how he worked. The android told us that a lot of our memories were messed up. But they wanted us to go to a planet nearby, and infiltrate them because they were against the androids.
    So we got a junky ship and went down to the planet. I sat in the captain’s chair, which was just a broken down recliner. But then Cierin came by and sat on top of me because he was the self appointed leader. So I pushed him off the chair, and decided that I didn’t need to sit in it because it wasn’t even a good chair.
    Then we landed on the planet, and I released all the lab rats, a few dogs, and a parakeet from the ship. We had been given 20 credits each by the androids. We had to pay 10 credits each to be there. So we paid half of all the money we had, and left.
    Then we talked for a while about how we would infiltrate the center place. Then we split up. Sh’dia went by herself to go look and see if she could pick any pockets. James Pierce left to start his gambling, so that we might get some more money, Danny Kurpatrick stayed with the broken down hover car that the airport people gave to us, and Cierin and I went to the building to see if we could infiltrate it. We talked to the guards, and they told us to go away, and we did. Now we’re just trying to figure a way to get money, and to accomplish our mission.

SECOND SESSION
We met back at the bus then. Danny had tried to fix James Peirce, because he had some wounds. We drove back to the ship, and met Keagin. He had been asleep since we got out of the hospital place. Then we went back to sleep on the ship because we were tired. The next day, we went back to the center to do surveillance. There were trucks coming in every eight hours or so. We went down about a mile between the city and the base, and junked the bus in the middle of the road. When a truck came by, they stopped, and we beat the driver and other guy up and hi-jacked their vehicles. I didn’t think they were going to kill them, they could’ve just tied them up or something, but Danny tried to figure out their ear pieces, which were imbedded in their heads and mouth. He ended up killing them.
    McCain and Cierin took their outfits and an ID and key. We drove off to the base. When we got there, McCain had to bluff his way in, and we went up a ramp, and down a long hallway. There were metal cylinders in the back; they were cryogenic freezers. We explored for a while, then I passed out.

THIRD SESSION
When I woke up, they had finished the last mission. So we were snuck aboard a ship to get some information from their computer. Oh, and the name of the android corporation was called Live Wire. They sent us. We were packed in these crates, and stacked on top of each other. We had to get out of them. I jumped from the crate I was in, after I had broken it open. I twisted my ankle when I landed. So the others went off to get the computer core, and they did. They brought it back to where Cierin and I were waiting. Then they went off again to find a way out. Oh, and the reason Cierin was staying behind was because his alien artifact had kicked in, and he was hysterical paranoid. I had a twisted ankle, and I didn’t want to go limping around to ship.
    While the others were away, and Cierin was holding the computer core, a guard came and knocked him out. He was holding the core on his shoulder, so it fell on him when he was knocked out. I saw the guard, and shot a crossbow bolt at him. He was still standing and he was coming for me, so I wacked him with my staff and woke Cierin up, after rolling the computer core onto the guard.
    Then the others came back and we went aboard a cargo ship, and hid in these plastic chips. Then we landed and we got out. To take the core with us, Sh’dia used illusion to make it look like a big sports bag with bunny ears poking out of the top. The guard seemed eager to get us out.
    Sh’dia wanted to catch and tame this phoenix bird. Before we went for the bird, we were waiting for Cierin to get over his paranoia hysteria. The others went on a mission while Sh’dia and I waited for Cierin.
Then we went to the planet where the bird was, and Sh’dia did al ot of coaxing and cajoling to the bird, using seeds. Then she went up and took one of the bird’s eggs and we barely got off the planet without the entire pod melting. Cierin stuck his boot in the melted floor, and it was ruined.

FOURTH SESSION
We started off back at Live Wire. We left Sh’dia there with her egg, and Leon too. Oh, now there was a new government. A big communism thing. The chips that we had hidden in before, they were the new kind of currency. We didn’t feel too good about just leaving all that money. No wonder why the guard wanted us out of there so much. Well, everyone had to be registered. And when you got registered, they gave you 2,000 credits for registering. All the different world leaders had agreed to this new government.
Then we went to a registering place, to get registered. We needed to go to Earth, but I don’t remember why. So we all got registered. They put little tags in out arms. I put some blades in my shoes, because I wanted to find out if they could find them. I can’t use blades anyway, so I didn’t feel too bad when they found them and took them away.
    After we got registered, we wanted to go to Earth to get our assignment, but our engine didn’t have more than impulse. We went to a junkyard to look for parts. When we found what we wanted we found that we didn’t have enough money for it. The guy at the junkyard mentioned he would pay $17,000 for me. If they would sell me. That was how much money we needed, but there was no way I was getting sold. So we left, and Danny bought a “fix it yourself” kit. When we got back to the ship, he was real lucky and able to make up for the missing parts in the engine and it was fixed! But I had the feeling it wouldn’t last long.
    But by then we got our assignment. We had to get mineral samples from a far off planet. So we journeyed there. Oh, and when we got registered Noodles had his gun dismantled and hidden in various parts of the ship because it was illegal to carry weapons.
    When we got to the planet, I suggested that we got into the caves to get the metal samples, instead of trying to dig through the surface. So we went down, and into the caves. We went down really far, picking up samples on the way. We had four lanterns. There were holes in the walls of the caves. The holes kept getting bigger as we got farther down.
    Then we started hearing water. After a while, some of us heard clicking noises too. Then Danny thought he had an Epiphany, that the light in our lanterns was attracting whatever was making the clicking noises. So we turned off three of the lanterns, and Cierin threw the other down the passageway, where it rolled down into the lake. Then it was dark. Noodles could see in the dark, so he took off his visor. I heard the clicking getting louder, so I was going to leave the caves, but something stopped me(Gappy!!!).So then someone found a lantern and turned it on. I was using infra vision before that, and could see that something warm was coming into the passageway through the holes in the walls
    When the light was turned on, we saw slimey blue snails coming for us. They had retractable eyes, and a big gnashing mouth with lots of teeth. So we had to fight them. They also had four tentacles each. Two of them centered on Cierin, and he had five tentacles wrapped around him, and he got bit at least three times. Danny got four tentacles holding him really tightly. Danny killed one of them. They were hard to damage, their shells functioned as armor, and took a lot of damage. Their blood was blue goo. It reminded me of the blue goo in the book Fox in Socks by Doctor Suess.
    “Here is lots of new blue goo now. New goo. Gooey, gooey. Blue goo. New goo. Gluey gluey. Gooey goo for chewy chewing! That’s what the goo goose is doing. Do you choose to chew goo too sir? If sir, you sir, choose to chew with the goo goos, chew sir. Do sir.”
    Anyway I got carried away just now, and remembered the whole book. So we fought the blue snails with tentacles. Most of then that tried for me, missed. Then, after Cierin and Danny passed out, they got Keagin (I don’t know how to spell his name), and he passed out, then I passed out, and got up again. Then I passed out, and knew no more.
    When we woke up we were in the ship again. So we all wondered how we got there when Danny told us he was the last to pass out after Noodles. No one had got up after that, to take us back to the ship. Had we sleepwalked to the shuttle? So Cierin went to the bridge with Danny, Noodles, and Keagin. They found an android that we know from Live Wire, Guido I think. He was all connected to the ship.
    Then we rode back to the planet we were at before, to give then the rock samples. They wondered why we had taken so long we told them it was because of the giant blue snails in the caves.
    When Danny was fixing our suits, he messed up on Cierin’s. So then Noodles used his street smart skills and they found the druglord they had bargained with before, when I wasn’t there. I stayed on the ship, because I didn’t like the thought of meeting a druglord, especially after thinking about the guy who offered to buy me. So I stayed on and cleaned the ship, practiced my martial arts, and read a book.
    When they came back, Cierin was missing. They told me how the money they had traded with him the last time was fake, so he took Cierin prisoner until we get him his real money back.
    I just think it was stupid to deal with the druglord to start with.
