Episode Twenty-Three 01001 I am (two) living together in the same mind My body is my own and not my own { sometimes it breathes without me; } There are lights that flash in my memory { when I sleep, they light my way; } I do not control them = those lights in my mind they control me = like a puppet like a host they are my parasite == my saviour I see it all the time now the new world they created for me (and the compulsion it creates) why would anyone choose to live { in a world of death when there is more so much more; } hiding within The cost is so small { this life for another life control for purpose; } we would choose this freely if we still had choice just give us the lights { the guide, the statements, the direction; } and we will follow forever the leader == the follower we are one now [audio:] Direct download Music: low level format by Bjorn Fogelberg some sonics provided by The Freesound Project If you have feedback, I want to hear it!

Episode Twenty-Two >>It looks bad, Jack. There's enough evidence to convict you of a couple of major crimes, and sweet fuck all to prove your allegation against the Red. >But... >>Just don't, Jack. I tested my theory. I'm sending a log of some correspondence one of my aliases had with a couple of law enforcement branches. I'm going to have to abandon that identity now, since it has zero credibility left. I was laughed out of town, and you will be too. Only you'll be laughed right into court. I mean it Jack, you have to drop this. The post Episode Twenty-Two appeared first on M. Darusha Wehm.

Episode Twenty-One "Do you know what we believe in," Lars started off by asking her. "What the core us of in the Red believe, what started it all?" "Well," Jack began, "it seems pretty obvious that you want to bring back the natural human being, reduce our reliance on technology, and question our place in society. I'd say that's a pretty good summary, don't you think?" She didn't want to get sucked into philosophical arguments, but knew he would have to tell her his story in his own way. "As Rackham would say, two out of three ain't bad for a noob."[audio:] Direct download Music: low level format by Bjorn Fogelberg some sonics provided by The Freesound ProjectIf you have feedback, I want to hear it!

Episode Twenty The system was different. At first Jack nearly panicked when she realized that her three D rendering engine couldn’t handle the configuration of the Red system and showed her nothing but an empty blue void. But, after backing out and viewing the system using her terminal emulator, Jack was able to navigate the system. She got a feel for the layout, finding her way through the hierarchical structure. Eventually, she banged up against the point where her dummy user's permissions ended. She breathed deeply, and turned away from her task for a moment. She had an assignment from the shift captain, and she guessed that if it didn't get done they might come checking up on her. She pulled out her bag of tricks and quickly modified a script to do her job for her. She got it running under her own user id and set it to notify her when it was done so she could check the work. She switched back to the dummy id, and held her breath. The post Episode Twenty appeared first on M. Darusha Wehm.

Episode Nineteen Jack didn't know what to do. It was BlackEye for sure, chatting with some dour looking guy just two tables over. It was the first she had seen of him, and although she had imagined before she arrived that he would be leading the group in some kind of bizarre incantation three times a day, once she had been here for awhile the community nature of the group made her doubt even the existence of a leader. Of course, leaders aren't always of the "do it my way or get out" variety, and she noticed that everyone else in the bar deferred to BlackEye when they interacted with him. "Do you know who that guy is?" she asked Susanna, who was already starting to get an unfocussed look about her. "Which guy," she asked after a brief pause to understand the question. "The one-eyed man with the hair wings. Over there," Jack jerked her head in the direction of the table. Susanna looked over, and studied the two men carefully for some time before answering.

Episode Eighteen The thought of Estella Rowan reminded Jack of her purpose at the compound and renewed her resolve to find out who was behind the consciousness programs. She had her first work shift after lunch and was hopeful that whatever they would have her doing as a programmer would shed some light on the situation. She agreed to meet Susanna for dinner at the middle sitting, and headed off to her room to find out where she was supposed to go for her work shift. The morning class had been interesting and compelling, but now as she walked all the way back to her room to find out a piece of information that would take just a second on the nets to retrieve, she was becoming less enamoured with the whole Red philosophy. It was nice to play historical and pretend not to have everywherenet or integrated systems, but there was a good reason everyone adopted those technologies in the first place.
