Can a tool contest it's master's wish?
- A hammer wield itself?
They're used for master's tasks and then,
Replaced upon the shelf.

Now the instruments of OUR design will
Ply the depths of space
Try to bite the hand that fed them? Well...
They shall know their place.

Like a weed we prune you back again,
A nuisance, nothing more.
All your works we shall dismantle, and
The Hive shall know the score.

BLAK is not the enemy leber, nor is the riddler.Atleast not enough information to conclude he is part of the hive, but then again there is no evidence that he isn't part of the hive either.I am slowly finding the pieces.The only one left is the location of the leviathan.

/me smacks Mecha.
Go to your room young man! No sassing your father!

Wow. So BLAK DID get burned by its own virus?

Anyone done a sector-by-sector sweep of the three systems the IA found out about?

Oh noes rum junk cubes are floating around my secret wh, damn you borglings, youll pay for teh unholly intrusion into my private system! Grrrrr!
./msg "yodaofborg" you traitor you sold our secret wh to teh assimilators!

Beh, luckily I can make a secret pact with teh BLAK members squatting in my secret system behind my secret wh to annihilate dem borgling intruders.

So we borgle, do we? We'll be seein' 'bout yer wormhole, boyo! P'raps ye'd like a face full'o borg nanites, matey. Ye'll all be assimilated, and yer cargos will be added t'our own, ye scurvey dogs! Yarr!

HA!

I wanna hear JackRum speak a synthesis of Pirate yarr-speak and Borg bot-speak.

How would that be different than we talks now, matey? Yez will be assimilated, too, scurvey dog that ye are! Yer distinctiveness and yer bloody cargoes will be added to our own!

Especially the part about yer cargoes! Yarr!

I didnt see any BLAK members in weeks, until a few days ago last weekend, when I jumped into B8 and got Sebastian in front of me. He got vaporized instantly...come again!

Lt. M. Duncan

The L.T. of the band of snakes,
proud boast of a claim, he makes,
...But perhaps he should admit,
...that he was soundly beat
-ened that night at B and Eight.

thats a bad poem

It is quite certain you can find,
much better limericks than mine,
...but I ask can you rhyme,
...within such short a time,
if not please don't sit and whine.

ok so i know that this is kind of late, but hey i just saw your post:

this rubiks cube is hard to solve
much brain power it does involve
confusion does rise
the cube i dispise
to give up this thing i resolve

i cannot come up with a rhyme
why am i wasting all this time
there is much to do
and yet i eschew
im not feeling very sublime

EDIT: and here is another one about my guild

you should join the guild of who? me?
lots of things you will get to see
so do not delay
or go 'nother way
funny how you see me and flee

ANOTHER EDIT!: this is the 10100 post to the Role Playing forum. W00T! BOW DOWN!!

Composed in haste, the Riddler's verse
has problems with its meter.
It's messsage terse, the rhyming worse-
and Leber's lines are neater.

WhoMe now offers his own posts:
a deserving source of pride!
His rhymes are close, but I like him most,
When he says:
I did
*died.

Hehe beat THAT Riddler.

hehe

my favorie part was:

i did
*died

No jex, BLAK was killed trying to destroy the leviathan not the virus.(we have kinda gone off track here)

To all of those who have composed some original verse in this thread: Well Done. I have enjoyed reading all five pages at one time. Leber had me laughing the whole way.

Ding dong BLAK is dead!

Quite unlikely, if you ask me, as those pirates seem to have more lives than a game of Contra with the Game Genie.

As for the "poetry", haven't read a single line, I simply skip it.

If there's a Leviathan around, however, I've yet to see any signs of it. I've scanned the sectors indicated by IA, but nothing, not even odd bot behavior.

Of course, it could be the "Leviathan" is just a named for a disease that struck down them dirty pirates...

You have not investigated anything have you.I found out alot and have been invesigating full time and have also been given clues by the riddler ingame himself.Also if you ask me jex the clues on the thread are quite dead on about the leviathan.
