[SITH WAR]: Ve Haf Vas of Making You Mock...

Amish, was sitting in his throne in the Command Room aboard the vast
battleship _Norwegian Blue_, the new flagship of his powerful deep space
fleet.
As the weighty responsibilities of his office demanded, he was naked except
for a crown, a sceptre, and a very long beard.
But considering how utterly disgusting the scene being displayed on the main
viewer was - the scene relayed by the modified Yuuzhan Vong villip built
into Mara's left eyeball - that wasn't really a problem.
"So vhat do ve do about it?" one of his countless comedy-German subordinates
asked, looking as if he was about to puke on the deck
"Sometink qvick," van Hire hissed. "But if some of ze other Sith Varriors
kan sort out zis mess, power to them, ja? All the same, I tink zat it is
best to take precautions."
Smiling grimly, he reached out with the Force, and triggered the
subconscious he had protocols programmed into Mara's mind when he allowed
HackBoy to capture her, several wars earlier.
Now, with only the slightest psychic trigger, the trigger phrase would be
activated.
YOU WILL KILL THE JEDI HACKER
"At last," another Central-Casting subaltern seethed. "At last, ve vill
reveal ourselves to the Hacker. At last, ve vill haf our revenge."
"Lieutenant," King Jan sighed. "I haf been revealing myself to anyone zat is
reading zis travesty for several years. It does not make ein blind bit of
difference."
But maybe... just maybe... after this one, they might finally be written out
of the Sith War, and allowed to get on with the business of being crazy
fanatics in character limbo.

Summary: the activation of a back-up plotline I've been holding in reserve
for just this sort of moment. Dan'l and Tilson are welcome to use it or not
as they please.
Also, I have a lot of NPCs to get rid of...

to recap: TJH escaped from a simulation program he shared with Mara
puting both him and her in bodies of his construction.
And it was only 2 wars ago.
anyhow...
========================
Disconnecting himself from the simulation matrix, the Jedi Hacker ran to
Engineering deck to examine the temporal anomoly in the nearby Red
starsystem. Mara could disconnect herself or, as he'd prefer at the
moment, remain and amuse herself. No such luck, she followed him. He
could engage an override, but he just didn't feel right doing that, even
if she was a fully synthetic being.
Sitting at the science console he felt Mara's approach through the ships
internal sensors. Purposefully, rather than her usual playfull of
leasurely. Maybe she was miffed at his sudden exit from their game.
A swarm of microprobes had just launched when Mara placed her hands on
his sholders. Yes, a massage would feel good. And she squeezed, as if
trying to choke a human, or rip his head off if she knew her strength.
"Mara darling?" No response. Definately miffed at something. Pulling
her hands away from his neck before something broke, "Please dear,
you're hurting me." And she pulled her hands away then grabbed and
lifted to throw him against the nearby bulkhead. Halfway through the
throw she crumpled to the ground, paralized. The Jedi Hacker made a not
entirely gracefull landing on top. "Mara? is something bothering you?"
The monotone response struck hard. "Must kill jedi hacker."
=======================
summary: the Jedi hacker has studied HAL, M5, and other assorted rogue
AIs, and taken precautions. Mara's personality routine of unknown
origin in constrained by a supervisor routine of the Hackers design.

Great Scott! That was prompt, well-written, and believably characterized!
Not laugh-out-lound funny, but you can't have everything...

Then you go and spoil it with technobble. Does the title say "Sith Trek" to
you?

Mara blinked five times in rapid succession, and exploded. The Jedi
Hacker was vaporized.
Summary: THE END.

I know the sith wars are pretty much anarchy, but isn't there some rule
about killing a player character without permission?
(I have plans for TJH and Mara as advesaries.)

There are exceptions to every rule. You are that exception.

I think he was joking with you, Peter. He had a point to make and he made
it.

Hold off for a few hours; I'm working on something right now that will feed
into that. Should be posted within the next three to five hours.

Take it in the facetious and rather insulting spirit in which it was
intended, and then ignore it.

I'll withhold my rant, but the point is, your response to Pol's post was
a bore. You can always write yourself a Star Trek plot hole out of
things, but you should never, ever do so.

Bugger! There go my plans for stranding a bunch of Porkinites
somewhere, with impending, horrible, irreversible doom just moments
away, and a malfunctioning transporter, only to have it start working
again at the absolute last possible second.
