They found you. You don't know how they found you, or why they are still after you, but those questions are drowned out by the violence of their actions. They came wearing uniforms of the soldier mercenaries of Tallow Genetics, and they took your world apart.
They came during the day, asking you to surrender. When you refused, they began the killing. Men and women who worshipped you were cut down by hails of bullets. You might have been able to kill the solider had it not been for the man who was made of fire. He came with the soldiers and together, they nearly killed you, you only just manage to escape with your life.
You are recuperating with another group who venerates you as a vampire lord when one of the followers hesitantly offers you a red envelope. He explains that he was told to extend to you this invitation, but has no idea how the man knew about you.
Inside the envelope are these words.
Great Vampire Lord,
I do hope that this letter finds you in good health. I know of the attacks being perpetrated against you and your flock of followers, and I know even more about those that commit the atrocities against you. I can help you punish them for all they have done to you. All I need is your trust.
-The Infernal
Below the letter are directions to a unknown location.
You are barely alive, barely conscious as your body repairs itself from the damage. You had worked late in the clinic, helping the unfortunates who came in when the mercenaries struck. You had no choice but to fight them, protecting the innocent people caught in the crossfire. But there was the mercenary who made came and laughed as he did something impossible. His eyes blazed with energy, and the clinic was suddenly consumed in a huge explosion.
You don't know how you survived the blast, but you do know you aren't there anymore. You are in a beautiful room covered in silk sheets and blankets. A older man stands next to the bed and smiles as you come to. "Good to see you up… I hope you find your new accommodations comfortable?"
The punks ambushed you, and they seriously thought it would work? The mercenaries used bullets, explosives, whatever it took, and you didn't feel a thing as you stomped them into the ground. Well, the rocket launchers had hurt a bit, that's what prompted you to fly off as fast as you did. Well, the rocket launchers and the huge werewolf like creature that nearly tore your head off, metal and all.
You wanted revenge on them so bad, but now they have monstrosities like that? You are seriously wondering how you will have any chance against Tallow Genetics alone when you hear it. It is a radio signal, but it is seemingly directed straight to you and no one else.
" I know you can hear me Marcus. I know you want vengeance for your sister. I know that you hate them as much as I do. Come, join me in my mansion and we will discuss how to deal with the problem of those that did this to you."
Directions and the address of the mansion are being sent with the radio signal.
When they came, they showed no mercy. You hid in the junkyard as the killed old man Henry, and managed to stay hidden from all of them except one. A man with armor as black as the night sky, and eyes burning red with rage. He had a large black sword that he used, and you two met, fighting each other. You barely escaped with your life from that fight; it was obvious that man was a much better fighter than you.
Attempting to go to your foster family was no use either, the house was burnt down to the ground, and you aren't sure if they are still alive or dead within the burnt out rubble. You do notice something that terrifies you however. Stuck in the tree outside the home, is a single gleaming scalpel. There is a note attached to it that simply states. We're coming
A man's voice rings out from behind you in the midst of this, "This… they really went all out on you didn't they? I can help you Kit… I'm a friend."
Those little… You spent so much money looking for information on them, thinking they were dead and they just pop up out of nowhere like this? Especially when you were on the job it just makes things worse. You had been planning on stealing an ancient treasure of something or another when they showed up.
You managed to evade the soldiers, and their hulking giant of a man, and disappear into the streets. You made your way to one of the many safe houses you have and lock yourself in. That's when you notice the cell phone. It's not yours, and it most certainly shouldn't be here, sitting on a table in front of you. It begins ringing almost immediately.
Not sure as to why, you answer the phone. A voice on the other end answers cheerfully "Hello kitty, I know your having a rough night, but maybe you would be interested in not running for your life like a scared little girl? I have some friends and we are all planning a get together where we will be making some very interesting decisions regarding your old buddies Tallow Genetics. Believe me, you will be very interested in what is going to be said here. Programmed into the cell phone you are holding are directions to this party of mine. I hope to see you there…"
Before you can respond, the line goes dead, leaving you very confused, with a brand new cell phone.
There was pain involved, lots of pain. The man who came for you seemed to be able to give pain just with a touch. He resisted everything you did to combat him but he kept coming, ignoring all the damage, and brought more pain to you. You thought you would die, but he was suddenly blasted away from you by a powerful wave of energy. As you began to sink into unconsciousness you heard desperate voices calling you name.
Lily… Lily… Wake up…
Coming awake you found yourself in a small room that is extremely beautiful. (as Star Light would find beautiful) and are rather comfortable in the fluffy bed provided. "Wake up… ah! You are awake. Good. I think it is time we start getting introductions in order. Oh… and don't worry, you are among friends Lily"

They found you. You don't know how they found you, or why they are still after you, but those questions are drowned out by the violence of their actions. They came wearing uniforms of the soldier mercenaries of Tallow Genetics, and they took your world apart.

Where did the ambush take place and where is the mansion from here? My first post is ready to go. It does hinge on that info so when you get to it that would be awesome.
Act 1 - They came to the school
They had come for her at the school, of course they had, the moment she shore them thought the class room window, she know why. She would go with them with out a fight. three men in uniforms not government or police but Tallow Genetics security. They just looked at her, they knew she would just come, she could do nothing her, not with the children around. She stood up, and signed to the class assistant, who was now worriedly looking at the three men.
"I'm sorry Margret, I have to go, some thing has come up and I do not have time to explain. Please tell Jill that I will not be in tomorrow."
She picked up her bag and headed to the door, one of the men opened it, and indication she should walk with the other two down the hall way. As she did he fell in behind. The only thought in her head was.
Must get away from the school, just away, I can do nothing here, not here
just as she was about to go out the mean door Jill came in,
"Lilly is there a problem?"
O god just go run, please run you have no idea, no idea
She signed to Jill
"No, Im sorry some thing has come up, I am going to have to take some time off work, I hope you understand, its my brother hes very sick, so I have to go see him."
It was a lie of course but it was all she could think of.
"O sorry I did not know you had a brother, well of course I understand"
One of the men had gone past her and had opened the front door.
She walked past Jill into the street and the waiting car, the door was opened for her just as she was getting in Jill called out.
"Email what your plans or Lilly I will have to know when you will be coming back"
Lilly nodded and got in the car.
The drive was long and she stat with moving, once they where away from built up areas she would shift, just move from here to some place far away, but they most have known what she was thinking, they kept to the city. But then a glimmer of hope, she knew the road they where on and soon it walk take them past a large park this time of day there would be few about and she could go.
But they had other plans just as she made her mind up pain came, the man next to her placed his hand on her lag and her world became pain. She lost control,
A moment and the hart of start started to grown, she could see it all in slow-motion, the seat and the man to her left starting to change shape, twisting and darkening. Then his skull exploded as the blood boiled in his veins. Then the shock-wave of her expiation hit the body of the car, plastic melted, glass shattered, steel warped and then the gas tank went up but even the peaces of the explosion could not getaway fast enough, she fort for control and shifted the cars accelerating shrapnel shell into N-space. To the bystanders looking on its seems a car had just exploded and then winked out of existence to b replaced by a small star, burning a whole in the ash-felt and melting the road signs.
Two of the men and the driver had perished she knew that, more death to add to her tally she felt the same of it but the PAIN! was still there and then she could see, so was he, inside her HOW?
::O god stop, please stop the pain, I do not want to kill more, please stop, you don't understand::
She sent this thought into his head
::"PLEASE!! THE PAIN IS MAKING ME LOSE CONTROL every one will die! please stop..::
She was begging him now, she could see the street, see them run and scream in fear, looking at the Alien, the alien killing them.
But he would not stop and she could not stop him, not with out...
O god, O god, stop please stop the pain, kill me just kill me end this. I can not help this, he's making me, some how hes to strong.
Then he was gone, a wave of energy blasting him away, she could see him reseeding, but to much, it was all to much, she fell into darkness, unconsciousness, as she did so one thought,
is this death?
Then desperate voices calling her name.
Lily… Lily… Wake up…
She awake and found herself in a small and what looked to a an extremely beautiful room. She was laying naked in of all things comfortable fluffy bed. One moment pain and death then this what...
then a flash of the dead means faces the sounds of the screams of onlookers, for a moment the look of a woman holding her child running looking back at the Alien. Then a voice.
"Wake up… ah! You are awake. Good. I think it is time we start getting introductions in order. Oh… and don't worry, you are among friends Lily"
she looked for who was talking,
"Is this a trick?... where the hell am I?..."
She gets out of bed and looks around, holding a bad sheet to hide her nudity.
She signed
"Where I'm I and who are you?"
|Marcus Cole
They found you. You don't know how they found you, or why they are still after you, but those questions are drowned out by the violence of their actions. They came wearing uniforms of the soldier mercenaries of Tallow Genetics, and they took your world apart.

Marcus is flying at 20,000 feet. He was in Minneapolis, MN at the time of the ambush.
They all died. How did they live? Maybe that was just one of several facilities. It would make sense. So how did they find me? I keep pretty quiet. Nobody knows me here. Someone has a way to find me.
He clenched his jaw in anger.
"WHY?! WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?! he yells to nobody in particular, as he is up where very few would be.
His thoughts returned to the signal.
Mansion huh? Hates them as much as me? We'll see about that. Those directions place it right about.....there!
In less than a minute Marcus arrived on the outskirts of Chicago.
Now for this mansion. Hope it isn't hard to find.
|Rosa Sinclair
She felt fine. Well, she felt some pain. But she remembers the explosion. Anyone else might be dead, not assessing mild sensations of inflammation and new flesh knitting together. She prays silently that the people she yelled at to run did so. She might have survived, but she doubted the mercs left anyone alive, left any witnesses.
She tries to assess the rest of the situation--pretty bed aside, is she restrained? Is there anyone else there besides her and the old man?
Rosa does not answer the old man, just examines him, trying to see if he looks familiar. If she is not restrained, she sits up, waiting for him to explain himself--or attack her, whichever came first.
|Kit "Siege breaker" Smith
When they came, they showed no mercy. You hid in the junkyard as the killed old man Henry, and managed to stay hidden from all of them except one. A man with armor as black as the night sky, and eyes burning red with rage. He had a large black sword that he used, and you two met, fighting each other. You barely escaped with your life from that fight; it was obvious that man was a much better fighter than you.Attempting to go to your foster family was no use either, the house was burnt down to the ground, and you aren't sure if they are still alive or dead within the burnt out rubble. You do notice something that terrifies you however. Stuck in the tree outside the home, is a single gleaming scalpel. There is a note attached to it that simply states. We're coming
A man's voice rings out from behind you in the midst of this, "This… they really went all out on you didn't they? I can help you Kit… I'm a friend."
Kit raced down the street on an old bike she had stolen from a guy whom had driving past her in the street when she had run, it had been simple a quick smack with the flat of the blade had send the man flying and the bike hers for the taking, riding it hadn't been as easy but she had been able to leave them behind, damn, damn, damn, damn! this is soo.... g&$-d&%n it! Stupid clothes are too sticky can't move right, why do I have to sweat so much... or is it blood., looking down at her hands covered with blood, it was hers and others the blood had been everywhere, though her skin bore no mark of it now, how am I going to explain this, s++# they are going to scream at me again, maybe even call the cops the is so messed up! she let out a gasp as the bike almost crashed into a building from her lack of attention but after a moment of struggling she got it back on the road.
Kit was lucky so far, they hadn't been able to follow the bike and she had lost them before they had reached their cars, but it hadn't been easy to escape her clothes were torn to shreds were bullets and the other man's giant blade had pierced her skin exposing the things inside her that shouldn't be visible, however the healing factor granted through the Siege breaker had already closed all wounds on her long before she reached her foster parents home, it was just up ahead.
What the... was the thought that flew through Kit's mind when she saw the smoke and she twisted the handle speeding up when she saw that the house was just a few wooden beams framing what had been the house Almost like a Saturday morning cartoon, kit thought in near hysteria then suddenly realized she had no idea how to stop the metal beast pulsing with powers between her legs and in a desperate move tossed herself from the bike letting it continue tumbling down the street crashing through the Petersson's garden shed ripping it apart just a day after Mr. Petersson had finished building it, still not having gotten around to paint it. Kit landed hard on the grass and grabbed Siege breaker with one hand adjusting it so she could roll to a stop, smashing against steps to the front porch with a grunt of pain, then slowly got to her feet the scraps and bruises fading away on her skin as she did then she just stood there swaying for a few moment trying to find her balance again unsure where to run to now, then turned determined to get away, to run to hide when she saw it, the gleam from it beautifully reflected the sunlight, a simple scalpel, it had been used to stick a note to the tree, Kit didn't see the note she just screamed sinking to her knees, her voice breaking, then a voice says "This… they really went all out on you didn't they? I can help you Kit… I'm a friend." but Kit didn't make any note of it all her attention focused solely on the scalpel. Siege breaker reacted to Kit and several markings on it glowed a dull red before with the sound of a shattering glass it broke into countless needles that hovered around kit, whom began to curl up into a fetal position, within a split seconds the needles of the blade ripped through her clothes and body tearing both in a brief mist of blood, then the mist was sucked into the rapidly changing form leaving behind a young cat curled up and shivering.
feel free to have the man bring her along or whatever, she wouldn't protest/fight back after all this is very close to her phobia.
As she stands up she can hear a TV News show playing in another room,
"The Fire departments today said there was not need to worry about so called "Radium explosiveness" of local Gas mains after a number of fires across the city, a family was killed in a House as well as three in a car fore in Green Bruck park, City safety officers say very thing is now under control and the gas problem is now longer a hazard to the public. I number of site across the city have been closed for maintenance work, more on that later"
"Fan-freaking-tastic!" Kit yells at the silent cellphone. "First Tallow Genetics's goons, then some mystery voice that acts like it knows everything inviting me to a 'party.' What freaking game are we playing here? And why the heck am I talking to myself?" With the last, Kit takes a deep breath and starts thinking.
Point One: Tallow Genetics knew just where to find me when I'd be off guard. That's bad, way bad. Kit grabs a bottle of water from the fridge. She carefully checks the plastic cap to make sure the seal wasn't tampered with. Paranoid? Hell, yeah. A night like tonight better paranoid than dead.
Point Two: Mystery Voice knew where I'd run. He's gotta have eyes watching me here even if Tallow doesn't. She drinks half the bottle of water in one go. Guess I'm going to his party. Hate to see what he does if I blow him off. Besides, I have to tell him off for calling me "kitty."
Point Three: This safe house is blown, too bad. Safe houses in good neighborhoods are hard to find. Kit goes to the bedroom and opens the secret compartment in the closet. She carefully takes a duffle bag from the compartment and removes some clothes from the bag.
Point Four: I'm going to a party where this party dress won't be out of place. Kit changes into a black body suit, boots, and leather gloves. No point wearing the mask. Tallow's goon squad or Mystery Voice would recognize me with or without it. Normally Kit would wait until she got to the job site before gearing up, but tonight is far from normal. Normally Kit doesn't run like a little girl. She makes sure her whip is on her belt and her pistol is tucked into her boot. Each piece of her other gear is placed in its proper spot and she's good to go.
Point Five: Tallow Genetics will regret coming after me. Don't know what kind of game we're playing, but I like games and I play to win. Dressed and geared up for her kind of game, Kit drinks the last of the water. She quickly scans the safe house. Like any proper safe house, there's nothing of her in it. Still, it sucks losing a hiding hole before you're ready to give it up.
Kit looks at the directions that are loaded in the cellphone. Swell, it won't let me skip ahead to the destination. Blasted GPS. She checks the alleyway behind the safe house. Confident the coast is clear, Kit starts following the directions on her unwanted new phone.
As soon as Vamp finishes reading the letter he crumples it in one hand. "Do not wait for me. Go, and hide." he says to his followers before disappearing. He disposes of the letter somewhere no one will find it on his way to the location indicated. He stops teleporting a hundred yards or so from the address/area and gives the air a good sniffing.

Current time at the mansions location, 4:12 PM
You see this mansion in the distance. As you teleport yourself closer to the mansion, smells assail your nose and you can tell that there is quite a large number of people here. Other than that, there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary. Well that is until you smell what must be some kind of metal hurtling closer to the mansion. [Marcus].
Please try to refrain from adding story elements I haven't added yet without expending your Hero points. I didn't mind the first post as that was meant to be flexible for everyone. Outside that just go off what I say if you would please.
The man next to the bed smiles and moves a bowl of fruits onto the bed next to you. "You are among friends Lily. I am no one of importance but you may call me Legion. You will be safe here, especially from those who align themselves with Tallow Genetics. Tonight there will be a gathering of many people who, like you, have been hurt by the evils of Tallow Genetics. I rescued you from being destroyed… many other were not as lucky Lily. I just want you to hear out our proposition to you."
The old man rises and moves to a wardrobe, opening it up revealing a assortment of clothes from simple to elegant. " Dinner will be served at 7 PM, and if everyone has arrived by then, we can discuss our plans for the future. I will escort you to dinner when that time arrives. These clothes are all for you. I must take my leave now however. More guests should begin to arrive any moment."
Flying closer to the mansion, you begin to make out the details. Outside of the mansion near the doors stands several older gentleman who seem to be just… waiting.
The man smiles as you wake up and moves away from the bed. "I am glad to see you awake, we were not sure you would pull through, but your body seems quite capable of recovering even from the most severe injuries on its own. I would like to let you know that you are safe, and among friends. I am here to explain to you what happened. You were assaulted by mercenary forces working under the direction of Tallow Genetics. It seems their goal was to either kill or capture you. They failed on both accounts and I was sent to rescue you. I know you have very little reason to trust me, but believe me, all will be explained tonight. "
He motions to a wardrobe in the corner, "In there you will find whatever suits your tastes I'm sure. There will be a gathering of sorts tonight, with those involved discussing how to end the tyranny of Tallow Genetics. We would be most pleased if you attended. Dinner will be served at 7 PM. I will be back here to escort you at that time if you are interested." With that, the man leaves.
A Elderly man gently scoops up your cat form and you feel… safe. As if though the man is impressing on your emotions that you are safe. He does not do so forcefully, but gently, letting you feel his intentions.
He carries you to a car and places you in the passenger's seat before driving away. You're not sure how long it has been when he stops the car and gently carries you inside an ancient looking mansion. He will place you down on a very comfortable chair in a large room that has no lights on. He then takes a few steps back and patiently waits.
You follow the directions on the GPS, and it leads you directly to a withered old mansion. Approaching the front, one fo the several elderly gentleman approaches you. A chill run through you as you realize that all of these men look exactly the same. "Ah, Miss Reynard. A pleasure to have you join us. Please, let me show you inside"
Vamp will move close enough to keep his nose on the strange metal person flying towards the mansion. He will observe Marcus' movements through scent. He tries to get close enough to smell how many people exactly are in the manor (and as much detailed information as he can get about them). He's especially keen to know if the fiery man who killed his followers is inside.
Perception 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
You notice that each of the men in the mansion has the exact same scent with only on exception. The fiery mans scent is nowhere to be found here, and you can't even smell hints of guns for that matter. Delicous smells of food waft through the air as well. There is also a scent that seems.... familiar to you. You can't place it however.
As you move closer you see that one fo the older men has noticed you. He smiles and waves for you to come forward.

|Rosa Sinclair
Rosa nods in thanks to the man but lets him depart without further interruption. She takes several breaths, trying to keep herself from the utter sense of panic surrounding her, trying not to let anxiety about the others she left behind, about herself, about what Tallow was up to. She was either legitimately rescued, or the man has his own agenda, but for now she is free and unharmed so she decides she has to work with that and go along with what he says. Either way, she figures he will lead her to learning what Tallow is doing--and how they may be stopped.
She gets up, pausing to examine herself. There is a massive burst of red across her shoulder and chest, which slowly and steadfastly shrinks and turns pink as she watches. The explosion must have nearly blown her arm off. She shakes her head, and breathing deep, this time trying not to become overwhelmed with rage--her past aside, what kind of monsters blow up a clinic serving the desperate and poor?
She dresses, in whatever seems easiest to move in -- trousers, a silk shirt, sensible flats. If her room is unlocked, she leaves to explore the mansion she finds herself in, taking note of stairways, exits--and to see if there's anyone else around, whether allies of the old man or people like her.
And as she thinks of others, she suddenly starts at hearing someone else's voice--in her mind? Was she hallucinating? Rosa calls aloud, "Hello?"
The elderly man smiles as you begin to look around. "It's ok, you are safe now. No harm will come to you here, I promise.
The door is unlocked and you are able to leave. Outside the door is a long hallway with 4 doors, 2 on each side of the hallway. At the end of the hallway are a set of stairs that seem to head down. No one will answer your callling out.
The man smiles. "No... no clones, I am them and they are me. I am Legion. I assume you are Jefferson. I welcome you to this mansion and invite you in. We are going to be discussing the issue with Tallow Genetics tonight and your presence has been requested.
You will notice Vamp as you approach the mansion and one of the men offers you his introduction from earlier. You overhear everything said between Vamp and the older man.
|Rosa Sinclair
Vamp is not particularly tall, standing around 5'7". He's wearing a black denim vest covered with patches and small spiky metal studs. Underneath it he has a sleeveless black hoodie. His legs are covered in tight black jeans, also heavily patched and mended. On his feet he wears mid calf-height black combat boots. His hair is a messy mohawk of partially dredded hair with some streaks of blonde, red and white here and there. Both his exposed arms are covered in full sleeve multicolored tattoos in a Japanese style. Koi and dragons swim around the faces of Oni in a sea of blood.
"Alright. Call me Vamp. Lead the way, 'Legion'" he responds to the old man.

"Well, it would be a let down and you weren't expecting me when I got here after following your directions," Kit says to the old man who addressed her. Not that it would really make any difference which one she answered. What the heck are they, clones, robots? Not even twins would be that similar.
Carefully looking at her surroundings, Kit follows the man into the mansion. "Nice place you got here. Your message said something about a 'party'. It will be one weird party if it's just us. Where are the others?"

I hadn't noticed the spoiler above was a joint Vamp/Kit spoiler, thought it was just for Vamp. Time to write a fix-it post.
Just as Kit asks the old man about others coming to the party, she notices the old man's doppleganger talking to a man who identifies himself as Vamp. She looks at Vamp's clothes and thinks, If I ever worried about wearing the wrong clothes to this shindig, I shouldn't have. He definitely didn't. However, she realizes that she'll stand out in her own way. At five foot three, Kit's a bit shorter than Vamp. She keeps her black hair cut short and isn't wearing any makeup or jewelry. Kit's form fitting body suit is intended to help her blend into the shadows, but in a well lit manor like this one... Well, it won't help with blending in. No time for worrying about appearances, may as well move on to the meet and greet.
"So thy name is Legion," Kit says to the old man with a slight grimace. "For thou art many. And you're Vamp and I'm Kit." She bows slightly to the man with varicolored hair.
Hero Points Doouuu, sorry GM will remember that next time
"Dinner will be served at 7 PM, and if everyone has arrived by then, we can discuss our plans for the future. I will escort you to dinner when that time arrives. These clothes are all for you. I must take my leave now however. More guests should begin to arrive any mooooommmmmeeeennnttttt"
Lilly looked at the old man as he talked then
Lilly dos not see the man any more or the room or any thing but..., the other was talking, the Earth fell away and around her stars 1000's of stars, they stood close to one, The orb of a small sun and an 11 year old child, She know this was not real, this was how it was with them, they talking in places and moments outside of normal dimensions, she was 11 again, for that was how the StarSeed 1st meet her.
"Where are we?"
++"I have no name for this place but I think you call is the North Star"
["Are we really here?"
++"We may be or where"
It was always the same, when the two needed to talk it was always out normal, always alien, even the time.
++"The man the pain, we came close to ending, why?"
"I have no idea, the man now with me now says it was the ones that made us, us. He says other will come and we will talk about them, Tallow Genetic."
++"Yes, the one named Legion, what shall we do?"
"We could run, hid, shift to a place they will never find us, but we will not"
A powerful wave of emotion its the both, dread at loss and loneliness, this place and time showed them, vast empty space, no hope or company, only them.
++"No we will not, we shall meet the 'others' and find a way to stay on earth"
"No we will not, we shall meet the 'others' and find a way to stay on earth"
They said as one, once more becoming one mind, they always where one body locked as one.
Lilly nodes her head in agreement indicates she would like him to go outside so she can dress. Assuming he dos. she gets up and walks to the wardrobe. Looking at the them she feels each and takes a few out to hold up to the wardrobe mirror, one takes her fancy and fine evening gown in Pale yellow. She showers and gets herself ready, then waits for him to come and escort her to dinner.
Vamp tilts his head sideways while examining Kit, like an animal. Then he gives her a good long sniff from a few feet away.
What does she have on her?
Once he's satisfied that she is what she seems, at least on the surface he will nod and say "Yes, I am Vamp. This weird old dude thinks I'm some dead president." he says motioning to Legion. "Why're you here? Do you know why that metal man is coming here too?" he asks Kit, as they follow Legion.
A cursory glance at Kit shows that she has a belt around her waist, hanging from the belt are a whip and a nylon bag like a fanny pack. Vamp's keen senses detect a metallic odor from the objects in Kit's bag. Detecting a whiff of machine oil and cordite, Vamp notices Kit has a small pistol holstered in her right boot. She carries a cellphone in her hand.
"Sorry, Vamp," Kit says in response to his sniffing. "I didn't have time to shower after spending my afternoon running from heavily armed goons. As soon as I got home, I got a phone call inviting me to a party to discuss Tallow Genetics. No offense, but I'd guess you, me, and the metal man are probably three of Tallow's run away freaks."
She continues following Legion, glancing occasionally at Vamp. "Dead president, huh? And I thought he'd mistaken you for Sherman Hemsley." She gives Vamp a wink and a grin.
Equipment list from character sheet: Camo Clothing, Cell Phone (Smartphone), Hold-out Pistol, Stun Ammo, Lock Release Gun, Toolkit (Basic), Whip. I'll leave it to you if Vamp can pick up any more details than what I put in my post from his super smelling. The toolkit has small items for lockpicking, disabling alarms, etc.
"Dinner will be served at 7 PM, and if everyone has arrived by then, we can discuss our plans for the future. I will escort you to dinner when that time arrives. These clothes are all for you. I must take my leave now however. More guests should begin to arrive any mooooommmmmeeeennnttttt"
Lilly looked at the old man as he talked then...
The room and every thing fell away, around her stars 1000's of stars, they stood close to one big sun and worlds around it. They where nowhere a fiery orb and an 11 year old girl, She know this was not real, this was how it was with them, they talked in places and moments outside of the norm, in dimensions that just would send any human mad, she was 11 again, for that was how the StarSeed had 1st meet her.
"Where are we?"
++"I have no name for this place but I think you call is the North Star"
"Are we really here?"
++"We maybe or where"
It was always the same, when the two needed to talk it was always alien, alien place, alien time.
++"The man, the pain, we came close to ending, why?"
"I have no idea, the man with me now says it was the ones that made us, US. He says other will come tonight and we will talk about Tallow Genetic, then pain man works for them."
++"Yes, this old man, the one named Legion, what shall we do?"
"We could run, hid, shift to a place they will never find us, but..."
A powerful wave of emotion hits them both, dread, loss and loneliness, this place and time shows them what being alone again means, vast empty space, no hope or company, only time.
++"No we will not go, we shall meet the 'others' and find a way to stay on earth"
"No we will not go, we shall meet the 'others' and find a way to stay on earth"
They said as one, becoming one mind again, locked in one body.
Lilly nodes her head in agreement, then indicates to the old man she would like him to go outside so she can dress. Assuming he dos. she gets up and walks to the wardrobe. Looking at the them she feels each and takes a few out to hold up to the wardrobe mirror, one takes her fancy and fine evening gown in Pale yellow. She showers and gets herself ready, then waits for him to come and escort her to dinner.
Sorry fixed it now I hope
Legion raises his hands (All 8) and in his 4 voices speak out at once, "Gentleman, and woman, all will be explained at dinner tonight. I know you must all be very anxious after the day's events but if you would just follow your assigned caretakers, we will provide the finest accommodations while you wait"
Two of Legion Hold open the doors while the others invite to escort you in.
The man will say nothing and continue to politely wait
The man smiles and points towards the doors. "We are expecting several guests for tonight's dinner. I would not worry about being the only one here."
|Marcus Cole
|Kit "Siege breaker" Smith
Star Light looks looks at a clock, wile waiting for the old man to come and show her to the meal. This must be a large place, She gets up and looks out the window.
well we are not under ground that's good, and not long now, who could be the 'others' are he talked about? she sees some figures coming into the building but can not make out who or even what they are.
"Just follow my assigned caretaker," Kit says as she represses a shudder. "Legion, that is way too much like the way they talked in the lab to be reassuring."
Kit then notices that the metallic man has transformed into a security guard. "Whoah, I am so glad I never ran into you professionally," she tells him. "This is going to be one interesting party. Wonder what they've got for dinner."
Kit's ready to move on to the dinner. I don't do very well with writing descriptions, so I have a few images of Kit in her "cammo suit." Due to my lack of 3D modelling experience, she came out a little more cyber tech than I intended, but it gets the concept across.
|Rosa Sinclair
Everyone is gathered in the main hall of the mansion, seated around a large dining room table. Next to each door stands 2 of …Legion. In front of each of you, raised from the table, is a small screen that shows a beautiful flower in full bloom. The screen changes however to the face of a clean cut man with medium cut black hair. His eyes are dark, almost black, and he wears a serious expression. The man on the screen in front of you begins to speak. "Hello. I know that you are all anxious and tired from the day's events, and I know you are all wondering why you are here. I will explain these things to you. I would like everyone to introduce themselves. Why don't I go first just to speed things along. My name is Jack Tallow. I am the son of the current President and CEO of Tallow Corporations International, and of Tallow Genetics. There, got that out of the way, who's next?"
The old man knocks on the door and Lilly follows him down into the dinning room as others start to enter as well. She is on a low cut evening gown and low heel white shoes. She looks around 20-ish tall and slim with long fair hear and blemish free skin, she has no makeup on at all but looks healthy, Her eyes are pale blue. with out a sound she takes a seat and looks at the others as they seat as well. When the screen come up she listens to the man talk and is shocked when he says he is the son the current President and CEO of Tallow Corporations International.
Is this a family power-play then, a fight or all one big trick to get me back into the lab? and who are theses people, why are we here, and he wants us to just say who we are? I'm not using my real name here, no way Ill use the stupid name they gave me in the lab. The old man knows I am Lilly but the rest do not need to
Lilly Signs to the others as well as talking to any one who will let here V TP.
"Our name is StarLight"
You can block starlight from talking to you v mind link at will, you have to be a willing subject for her to do this kind of communication, and hay man shes talking in your head.
an image of Starlight appears in you minds and the words
::"Our name is StarLight"::
|Marcus Cole
|Rosa Sinclair
Rosa shakes her head, hearing Star Light's mental voice at the same time as her actual voice. That was weird. Did she just--?
She shrugs it off and looks at Marcus as he introduces himself. He was familiar. The guard uniform--that was it. The hospital. She was an EMT at the time, he kept all the crazies from hassling them when they brought people into the ER She nods to him, wondering if he will recognize her.
When it comes to her. "Rosa," she says, and nods to Jack Tallow. "And you better well explain more than that, with that introduction."
ooc: I'm getting an error message when I click on the link for his image.
|Marcus Cole
|Kit "Siege breaker" Smith
Just had a think and she would have said just "Star" as her name, also she is mute, But you just gave me a really good idea, she will mouth the words she says but you hear them in your head and not sign when shes using TP. Like the Alien fill of it, thanks
Star looks at every as they talk and nods to them
"Yeah, yeah. I smell yummy," Kit says to Vamp. "You'll need a better line than that. I just can't imagine sweat tinged with adrenaline is 'yummy.'"
When Legion opens the doors to the hall, Kit goes in and waits until Vamp is seated before sitting across the table from him. When a predator says you smell yummy at dinner time, you'd better keep an eye on him. She sits quietly through the first introductions. Kit's blood is chilled when their host identifies himself as Jack Tallow, so she keeps from jumping in with an introduction. The first words will be important, so it's best to let a couple others speak first.
Then the cat scampers nimbly across the table to sit next to Kit. "Hi, there! Aren't you a pretty kitten?" She blurts the words out then realizes she's just used up her all important first impression. "Hello, everyone. I'm Kit Reynard."
"Oh, no you misunderstand." He grins a fangy grin. "I eat people."
Vamp follows Kit and the man in and sits down at least one seat away from all the others. He listens quietly until the man identifies himself, then he leaps up onto the table with a hiss and bears his fangs. "You've got five seconds to explain yourself before I disappear."

|President Obama has already played more than 60 rounds of golf since he entered office in 2009. Over the weekend, he and House Speaker John Boehner teed off together in a buzzed-about game seen as an effort to strengthen their sometimes contentious relationship. There was much speculation that the two would take advantage of the game to discuss the debt ceiling in a less formal setting. But they seemed chummy and relaxed in their casual golf attire during Saturday's game. Boehner had previously quipped about their difference of opinion in reference to the much-anticipated match, joking that each stroke would cost the president a trillion dollars. After Boehner sunk a long putt on the first hole, the president engaged the crowd: "Did you all catch that?" He smiled before turning around and patting his partner on the back. Naturally, the president took the wheel of the golf cart to drive them to the next hole.

|Clinton hit the links often during his presidency and never worried about critics saying he should have been spending that time behind his desk. "Wild Bill" was a loose cannon on the green, often providing amusing running commentary throughout his matches. During his first year in office, he watched his ball soar after hitting a tee shot in Martha's Vineyard and exclaimed loudly, "Whoa, mama, stay up!" Clinton occasionally broke the rules on the green, often dropping a substituted ball when his shots hooked in the wrong direction. His knack for taking a mulligan—golf lexicon for a penalty-free do-over—caused some pros to nickname the term a "Clinton."

|Like his father, G.W. Bush was an avid golfer, but the game soured for him while he was in office. When a round was interrupted with the news that the United Nations' Sergio Vieira de Mello had been killed in Baghdad during the Iraq War, the president decided to temporarily give up the game. "I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal," he said in an interview, adding, "I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander in Chief playing golf." Some veterans were offended by his statement and felt they had sacrificed a lot more than golf for war. Now that his presidential duties are no longer an issue, Bush has taken up the sport again, playing with his family last December at Florida's Gasparailla Inn and Club golf course.

|As Woodrow Wilson tried to lead the United States through World War I, the 28th president is said to have found solitude and peace in the game and played daily. Weather conditions were no matter to Wilson, who even played in the snow, using black balls instead of white ones . His golfing attire was fairly traditional: white sport shirt and a wool cap.

|Woodrow Wilson's successor was an avid golfer in his youth, often visiting Florida and keeping cool on the green in a classic straw bowler hat. Harding's health began to deteriorate toward the end of his presidency, however, which made playing more difficult. During a visit to Cocoa Beach in March 1923, he complained to an aide about feeling tired on the course. But when the aide suggested he play fewer holes in the next round, Harding stubbornly responded, "Hell, if I can't play 18 holes, I won't play at all."

|Elected president in 1952, Eisenhower ushered in a new era for the nation and the game of golf. After winning the election, Eisenhower took a vacation in Augusta, Georgia, where he fell in love with the now historic Augusta National golf course. He befriended some of the great golfing legends of his time, including Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer. Eisenhower played some 800 rounds of golf during his two terms in office and visited Augusta 29 times, but he never made it to the Masters. He preferred to keep a low profile and would instead visit on the Monday after the tournament to play with the champions. Eisenhower was one of the first presidents to bring political issues onto the green and often invited members of Congress out for a round at Burning Tree and Cherry Hills club near the nation's capital. He once told The Washington Post, "Those who golf or visit with the president in Augusta or at Burning Tree Club in Washington can vitally influence national policy." Eisenhower didn't always wear the most practical golfing attire: During one round with Palmer, he sported a military-style belt with metal buckles that got in the way of his swing. "Bless him, like the good soldier he was, in his determination to keep that right wing tucked as ordered, he'd actually rubbed the skin off his arm and was bleeding," said Palmer, who had given the president some tips on his stroke. When I pointed it out to him, he acted as if it were nothing but a scratch..."

|Given that the Democratic Party gave Eisenhower, Kennedy's Republican predecessor, quite a bit of flak for putting more time into his golf game than in state affairs, Kennedy was hesitant to get out on the green as president. Shortly before the 1960 election, a near hole-in-one sent JFK into a panic. "If that ball had gone into that hole," Kennedy said to his partner, "in less than an hour the word would be out to the nation that another golfer was trying to get into the White House." Once elected, he was a bit more relaxed about playing on occasion, and he is still known to have the best golf game of any U.S. president. With his quintessentially New England style, JFK certainly looked the part.

|Gerald Ford took on the challenge of the presidency "under extraordinary circumstances," as he put it when taking his oath of office in 1974, after Richard Nixon was forced to resign. Ford was respected as president for instilling calm after a storm and putting his efforts into rebuilding a country in shambles. His stance on the golf course was equally steady and focused. "No president ever tried harder at the game than Gerald Ford," wrote Arnold Palmer in his biography. Ford always played fair, unlike other presidents with which Palmer hit the links. "One indication of his passion is that if you tried to give him a putt, he would never take it but insist on trying to make it." His uniform was a lucky polo shirt with an above-the-breast inscription that read, "Mr. President—Bogie Buster."

As much as you love giving the gift of beautifully crafted paper every holiday season, you like to keep them on their tinsel toes. Which is why we've curated a very tailored collection of non-paper gifts we thought our Enthusiasts might just love. The hostess, the children's French instructor, your favorite postal employee — we like to think we've thought of everyone. Here are a few ideas to get those gift-giving wheels turning.
- For The Player
Bridge club. Poker. Or just Go Fish with the kids. For the loved one who is always up for a game and can shuffle like no one's business, these vibrant Jonathan Adler playing cards are a trick, an ace and a royal flush all in one.
- For The Bookworm
After he received a Kindle (and Tweeted about it) for his birthday, you thought your days of showering your favorite brother-in-law with signed hardcovers were over. Turns out, he still loves stocking his bookshelf. (Phew.) Show him you appreciate his impressive collection with these dachshund bookends. Quirky and fun, kind of just like him.
- For The Happy Couple
Newly wed, new baby — milestones like these don't come a long very often, and they've been breaking in that new camera with fervor. So many pictures, so little frames. The Simon Pearce Woodbury Horizontal Photo Block is sure to get prime mantle time.
- The Scribe
The personalized stationery stash is always plentiful, and the Herman Miller desk gets plenty of mileage. Sending mail is just as lovely as receiving it, and for the latter the leather letter opener is the perfect pen-to-paper accessory.
- The Socialite
Pilates, work, cocktails… and for dinner? She makes a mean reservation. It's no wonder the week she lost her agenda she went into a spiral of despair. Let's never let that happen again, shall we? A Kate Spade agenda in red and hot pink should do the trick.

Archer Alec - Kickstarter 30 Days
The Kickstarter for Archer Alec is now Live
Archer Alec Kickstarter Link -> Here
Well I've been hard at work preparing this.
I go over where the money is going on the page and in the video but ill summarize it here for you!
-Paying for all the Music
-Website Hosting
The goal is 5,000 I think we can make it happen.
Currently every backer gets a special version of the game that enables Archer Alec to wear a Gold tunic instead of a Green one.
But I will be taking suggestions as to what else to add to this special version of the game.
(This may not be how he looks I made change the hue/colorization a tad)
Other than kickstarter I've been working on adding a wall item where the player can place a wall block and its affected by gravity.
I think it will be a good addition to the current game, feed back on this would be great.
Also Philip has finished the swamp level music and it sounds pretty good!

Well that's about it for this week, thanks for reading and feedback as always is appreciated!

By Ginna Parsons/NEMS Daily Journal
Donna Johnson learned how to cook when she was about 8 years old. She can still recall standing in a chair in the kitchen to make cornbread.
"My mother could get us to do anything," Johnson said. "She would say, 'Oh, you do it so good, or yours tastes so much better than mine.' I think she could have gotten us to catch a snake if she'd wanted to."
Johnson, 58, is the youngest of five children – she has three sisters and a twin brother. They grew up in the Jericho community near Baldwyn in Union County. She and her husband, Larry, still live there.
Johnson worked at a foam factory for 15 years before taking a job with B&B Concrete, where she stayed for a little more than three years.
"The day my grandson was born was my last day to be employed," she said. "I came home to take care of him."
Sixteen-month-old Lincoln, born to her daughter and son-in-law, Dana and Brandon Patterson, now consumes much of Johnson's time.
"I used to cook for my family every Sunday, but since the grandson has been here, it's been hard to watch him and cook for 30 people , but I like to when I can," she said.
Still, she manages to prepare dinner every night for herself, Larry, Dana, Brandon and Lincoln, as well as a sister and her twin brother, who is disabled. And once or twice a week, she fixes meals for another sister who works outside the home.
"They all come here to eat," she said. "Once a week, we have breakfast for dinner, one night we have hamburgers and hotdogs, and one night is vegetables and cornbread. The other nights are when I try new recipes."
And Johnson lives for new recipes.
"You could say I'm a cookbook hoarder," she said. "I love to get them at yard sales. I had so many my husband had to buy me a cabinet to put them in. That's my passion – new recipes. When I try a new one and it's a keeper, we put it up. If it's not, we tear it up."
Johnson said she didn't really begin trying new recipes until after she and Larry married 37 years ago.
"My dad was from the old school," she said. "He wanted vegetables, cornbread and meat. He actually hurt my feelings one time. I had spent all this time and everything and fixed a casserole for supper and he looked at me and said, 'I don't eat that junk.'"
Do you know a good cook? Send your nominations to Ginna Parsons, Cook of the Week, P.O. Box 909, Tupelo, MS 38802. Or you can fax them to (662) 842-2233 or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The "Guild Year" Begins in April
Hello all, those of you who expressed interest in the Writer's Guild THANKS! I am pleased to announce that the concept is taking form and there are some really great members signed up. Now that we have a quorum, things will be moving ahead over the next two weeks.
1 - Those who already confirmed interest via email or in the earlier threads will be included automatically in the member list (no need to re-confirm). I'd like a photo and short bio for the guild profile page. If you don't have something scanned, don't worry - I'll scan for you.
2 - A private discussion board has been installed for those who join. You can't see it now but when your account is transferred, you and other guild members will see it. When you join, your existing account will be transferred, no need to change your profile.
This is where articles can be submitted for guild members to review. There will also be an "anonymous" account to allow discreet constructive comments with anonymity. The objective is to get everybody's comments for the article you propose - it's your decision to accept or decline any comments.
3 - We have got an immeasurable amount of knowledge and insight in the Forum, and the readership is increasing. I believe the Guild will allow us to get together to leverage some of that experience into sponsored articles. Each sponsored article will put a ticket into a drawing that will be held by an independent party. One guild member will be the lucky winner of the grand prize... a dream flyfishing vacation.
I have asked Jeff Roop to help me generate sponsorship for our works. For the sponsorship contributions, we will provide generous yet tasteful advertising information in each article. Each sponsorship puts another ticket in the drawing bin, so please help by recruiting sponsors you may know (like a shop where you spend lots of money!). The proceeds will fund the dream vacation.
So, with April and spring - we kick off the GUILD! Like all things, it will take time to gain momentum... but if we stay passionate about the potential there will be someone enjoying a trip worth lifetime memories c/o the guild!

Now that Friends is ending, there is a lot of hooplah about this final season that reminds me of the ending of Cheers (which is odd since the Cheers spinoff, Fraiser, is also ending this year and has zero hooplah). So I got to wondering, what are the best sitcoms ever, and by what criteria do we judge this?
The first one that keeps coming up in my mind is "Married... with Children". After the first season, this show became comfortable with taking the elements of everday life and exaggerating them for comedic effect while staying within its own universe. MwC changed the face of TV by being brash and honest and silly and never trying to be more than funny. The series also had the first openly-gay cast member - long before Ellen DeGeneres publicly came out of the closet - and its ratings were completely uneffected by the news even though the network feared it's seemingly all-male audience would be somehow intolerant of this. The network generally didn't think highly of its male audience but that was an advantage because the series could get away with more without drawing the ire of upset sponsors, and Fox never seemed to realize that MwC had a large female viewing audience either so the producers and writers could get more into the shows without worrying about Fox tampering with the series trying to target this other market. The show was often panned by critics, but lasted 10 years and still was its own brand of humor right until Fox pulled the plug.

I never thought that 35 large pizzas could disappear so quickly. Geez, you'd think we were starving students or something.
Let's see... I got on campus yesterday at about 10am... It's now about 5am. Only 19 hours so far. Not so bad. Tomorrow afternoon will be sleep time, (probably also on campus, but hey), and I have a midterm to study for on Friday. I'm setting myself up to crash, apparently.
Though I'm still awake, and on only one Coke and one Pepsi. And apparently my knee is now shaking due to caffeine. Hopefully I finish this program before the sugarhigh wears off.

Faith: Father's day
On Sunday, June 16, we in the United States will have the opportunity to celebrate another Father's Day.
The first official Father's Day was in 1972, 41 years ago. My father died of a sudden heart attack when I was just about to start my year in grade six. This year will be 50 years since Dad died.
So, as you can see, I haven't ever been able to celebrate Father's Day as a son to his father. I never got to buy a funny or serious card for him.
It didn't take me very long to realize that I would not be able to experience the wise counsel that most sons receive from their dads. But then, a friend told me that I would always have free access to a wise father's counsel. This wise father was known as the wisest man that ever lived. Although he made some great decisions in his life, he also made some wrong choices. I was eager to discover what this fatherly counselor had to offer.
I was sent to the Bible's book of Proverbs. Most of these proverbs were written by King Solomon, the son of Israel's famous King David. Solomon wrote these for his son to read and learn from. In fact, there are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs — just the right number to read one proverb each day of the month.
What did I find? I found all kinds of advice on finances, integrity, ethics, work, relationships, setting priorities, honesty, investing, eating, sleeping, how to treat your parents, marriage, being a friend and much more. Some were humorous and some were full of depth. Would you like to hear a few that really impacted me?
• 20:17 Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.
• 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
• 13:11 Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
• 11:14 Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
• 11:22 Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.
• 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
• 17:28 Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
• 21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.
• 22:3 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
• 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Need direction and purpose for life? I found it in Proverbs 3:5,6: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of all the wisdom available to everyone from the book of Proverbs. If you are getting bad advice from people, read Proverbs and get the best advice from our loving God.
(Dan Cumings is the youth pastor at Mildred Bible Chapel.)

Mississippi State's basketball team got more bad news on Wednesday.
An MRI revealed that starting guard Jalen Steele has a fractured left wrist and will be out about six weeks, the school announced. On top of that, forward Colin Borchert has been suspended for a violation of team rules.
That leaves the Bulldogs (1-1) with only six available scholarship players for its trip to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational. The team leaves today and will face No. 11 North Carolina on Monday.
MSU lost two players to knee injuries before the season, and two others were dismissed. Steele's loss is especially troublesome, because he is the team's top returning scorer.
hard fall
The junior was injured in Tuesday's win over FAU when he drove in for a layup and took a hard fall with 10:47 left in the first half. He needed eight stitches in his head.
It's Steele's second major injury in college, having suffered a torn ACL and meniscus late in his freshman season.
He will not need surgery on the wrist.
"I know with Jalen's work ethic that he will attack his rehab and be ready to come back and help this team when that time comes," first-year coach Rick Ray said in a statement.
Steele scored 16 points in a season-opening loss at Troy. A six-week absence would have him returning to action around Christmas, and well before MSU opens SEC play on Jan. 9 against South Carolina.
Borchert, a junior college transfer, averaged 5.0 points and 3.5 rebounds through the first two games. Ray did not say how long Borchert's suspension will be, but he'll miss at least three games, which is how many MSU is playing in Maui.

Chapter 6: The Periodic Table
Getting and staying organized: it's a challenge. Everywhere you look, humans are constantly trying to organize things in the most efficient way possible. Here in this hardware store, the myriad items for sale need to be organized so that the shoppers can find what they need as quickly and easily as possible. This organization works on multiple levels such as by aisle number or by manufacturer or by price. Likewise, the periodic table is a marvelously organized tool that chemists use to keep track of chemical elements. The placement of each element on the table easily tells the chemist valuable information about that element's physical and chemical properties. In this chapter you will learn how the periodic table was developed and how it can be used to make learning chemistry easier.

Workaround for error after upgrading VM from F16 to F17
Updating a Fedora 16 guest to a Fedora 17 guest via preupgrade gave me the 'Oh no, something has gone wrong!' screen at the GDM login screen. It's quite frustrating to see that screen because you can't switch to a virtual terminal for troubleshooting, or even reboot or shutdown.
To send the key sequence Ctrl+Alt+F2 to the guest to switch to a virtual terminal, use the qemu monitor by pressing
and use sendkey to send the key sequence:
(qemu) sendkey ctrl-alt-f2
Then go back to the guest window by issuing

Nostalgia right here, still get hype watching these clips, I freakin miss those days! .... It's Miller Time!
Epic year. Gave us A lot of memories. Will never be forgotten.
I can see a bit of Earl Campbell and Jim Taylor in Ricky. Yes he was a beast.....when his world was right !
"I'll read anything Dolphin, even the crap Omar writes"
Man that year was awesome, until the terrible end. I sat in Buffalo, watched Ricky run for over 200 and we still lost. That was one of the most disappointing years of all the disappointing years late 90s early 00s. Because we had the talent to do something
That's the guy Ricky should have been most of his career that was one of the greatest seasons for a RB ever.
A lot of people decided to hate Ricky Williams. Not this guy. Ricky Williams played with the kind of heart you don't see much anymore in the NFL. I loved the guy. And I always stood by the FACT that he was the better back between he and Ronnie Brown. I took a lot of flak for it. Didn't care then, don't care now. RW was EASILY the better back when they were both here. I'll go so far as to say he was EASILY, far and away, our best back.

from WND http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.p...w&pageId=97374
Posted: May 07, 2009

A Louisiana driver has been stopped and detained for having a "Don't Tread on Me" bumper sticker on his vehicle and warned by a police officer about the "subversive" message it sent, according to the driver's relative.
The situation developed in the small town
of Ball, La., where a receptionist at the police department told WND she knew nothing about the traffic stop, during which the "suspect" was investigated for "extremist" activities, the relative said.
It followed by only a few weeks the release of a Department of Homeland Security report[ "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" , which prompted outrage from legislators and a campaign calling for the resignation of DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
The report cites individuals who sport certain bumper stickers on their vehicles as suspect, and it was delivered to tens of thousands of local law enforcement officers across the nation.
According to the relative, the situation happened this way:
Her brother-in-law was driving home from work through the town that has a local reputation for enhancing its budget by stopping speeders and ticketing them. He was pulled over by police officers who told him "he had a subversive survivalist bumper sticker on his car."
"They proceeded to keep him there on the side of the road while they ran whatever they do to see if you have a record, keeping him standing by the side of the road for 30 minutes," she told WND.
Finding no record and no reason to keep him, they warned him and eventually let him go, she said.
WND is withholding the driver's name and the relative's name at their request. However, the situation was described on the American Vision blog, too.
Hope y'all are ready for the Thought Police
