I'll be ingame to confirm, since k.p aint around...
Sep 09, 2005 who? me? link
how do you confirm something like this?
Sep 09, 2005 Shapenaji link
So... it was captured by serco neh?

So what does that mean in RP terms?

in RP, if it's turned in for the reward, we are all safe. As long as it did not fall into the *hands* of the hive, all is well.

[IA] does not negotiate with terrorists, who? me?. We will not give in to your demands! The reward is 5 million, not a penny more.
Why would you only get 4.5????

To confirm, you can simply take a screenshot of the widget, and either post it here, or on the IA boards.

So much for the fun of that hunt...
Ray said he'd start the *alt* Friday night before he left. I really didn't think that anyone would even look before Saturday. I didn't expect Ray to have do anything on a weekend. DAMN! All that work, with all that help from Ray...

Special thanks to Ray for all the work he did.

Sorry to all that planned to participate!
UNLESS...
Ray wants to make another if he reads this, and is in a generous mood...

heh you forgot the timezones. the europeans were into saturday at about 4pm EST on our friday. :)

as to why he would only get 4.5, thats what the station was offering for it.

Who? Me?: keep it, i'm sure our scientists can study it and determine why IA wants it back so badly. Lets not let them have it back until we can determine that its not a weapon they can use against us.

yo, who? me?, I'll pay you 8 million.No side must get it. It will only aid their war efort, or in the case of the UIT, make them some good top dollar.

The owner of the neural spike must be destroyed, and the Spike must be turned in. If possible, it MUST be liberated from Serco control!

OOC: Hrm, Shape. It was released too early? Sorry, the RP event is FUBAR, apparently. The TEH-1441 ship showed up on the active players list and everyone knew it was there. So we ran with it last night about 6:00 CDT.

Leber: Ah, I was wondering. Thought you guys had said it was going hot on Saturday.

Killed one person though. (Here's lookin at you Starbuck)

who? me?: Yeah, keep it, the serco scientists need to examine it. If its sold it will return to itani hands.

The CDC may be UIT but we make a point to assert our independance. While no-one but the Itani know of its true purpose it would be foolhardy for an organization of ANY faction to relent the control of the spike to a major power. Something of this Magnitude is besk kept safe in a hidden Neo-Steel vault. I will add 4.5 million out of my own pocket to moldyman's offer of 8 million (totaling 12.5) so that the spike remains secure and galactic balance remains in check. If any side makes use of it then it will become mass-produced--and then the HIVE could easily get one for itself. Such an end is unacceptable. The CDC will research it in a secure location, and seal away all pertanant data, then destroy it.

Remember who? me?, Joyce is offering 15 million credits and an unspecified favor in the future. She's had to remove the Miharu french postcards from the offer, though.
Sep 10, 2005 Lord Q link
i will add .5 mill to the CDC offer (yes i know, i'm probably the univers' only poor UIT, but thais is all i can afford to offer)

-[CDC] M'at, acting lutenent
Sep 10, 2005 who? me? link
the postcards are out? well damn, might have to think about it
Sep 11, 2005 moldyman link
Fine, I will throw in an additional 2 million credits.

And CDC's everlasting gratitude.

P.S.- CDC is not a UIT guild it is multi national.
Sep 11, 2005 Big Mike85 link
Ill pay 20 MILLION CREDS for the spike!

Your crazy if you think Im not!
Sep 11, 2005 Trick link
Take it to Toshiro for research purposes. Even if he can't directly research it, he would know someone in the Serco scientific that would.
Sep 15, 2005 jexkerome link
Well, Joyce has got the spike.

I guess that means now I have to go and actually read the Spike thread to see why it's so important.

And FYI, Corvus'll buy the spike for 4.36MCr. I wonder for how much it will go elsewhere?
Sep 15, 2005 LeberMac link
Yay!

Joyce you should return it to the authorities ASAP!
Sep 15, 2005 Spellcast link
Joyce, I represent a consortium of concerned serco buisnessmen. If at any point you plan to return the spike back into the possesion of IA we would be willing to offer you an escort from whatever station you are located at to whichever station IA requests delivery to completely free of charge.. uhh yea thats it.

oh, and to Who? Me? you owe me 25% of whatever you sold the spike for.
Sep 15, 2005 vIsitor link
15 mil and a favor I think.

Joyce, the CDC (being created as a network of Bodygaurds-for-hire) would be better-suited to escort work into itani space then Serco warriors. In addition, we would gladly pay a large sum, named at your price, to recover the Spike ourselves. The IA has our support, and we support their motives. We both hope to recover the Spike as soon as possible.

Best wishes
