Hello, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! Are you ready for an exciting new adventure from the people that brought you the Great Gremlinlyke Attack, [DFSR], and Chickenlyke Diminuative: The Time-Space Continuum is Falling? Well tough, here it is anyway. LIVE on the PBEM Network, it's The Bot Murders!

Starring:
Grov-R-LER as Dean-O-KTI
Richie-R-ICH-1 as Isaac-O-MEL
NekoAbyss as Aken-R-BSH
Elm-R-FUD as Roy-R-HBL
and
Bill-Y-BOY as the GM

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 001

Each of our intrepid Troubleshooters-to-be begins our story going about their daily tasks in the perfect utopia known as Alpha Complex. Each is loyally performing his duties when, suddenly, their PDCs erupt with the sound of an Ultra-High Priority message alert. The words MISSION ALERT flash on the screen in large urgent-looking letters! Let's zoom in on one of the PDCs now and see what the message says.

Congratulations, Isaac-O-MEL-1. You are hereby invited to your first manditory briefing for your first manditory Troubleshooter Mission. You are to report to WRC Sector's Troubleshooter Headquarters, and from there report to Briefing Room 42Q. You will then receive further instructions from your Briefing Officer, Bill-B-WRC. You are to bring along your Reflec and Laser Pistol Body, which had been assigned to you previously. Failure to show up in 30 Minutes will result in an insubordination charge and a 200 credit fine. Failure to appear at all is treason and will result in your immediate Termination.

Have a Happy Daycycle.

Your Friend,
The Computer


Oh my, this sounds urgent! The new Troubleshooters make haste to the nearest available conveyance to WRC Sector, with no distractions along the way. Absolutely none whatsoever. Yes.

Our scene opens in the WRC Sector TransTube station with 10 minutes left to get to their briefing without incurring that 200 credit fine. Aken-R-BSH emerges from a crowded RED TransTube train, looking proud and dangerous in his gleaming RED Reflec, his laser pistol slung on one hip, a bullhorn on the other, and three grenades dangling from his belt.

His gaze is then caught by an arriving INFRARED TransTube car. There is, surprisingly, only one occupant, an ORANGE citizen, also in Reflec and bearing a Laser Pistol on his hip. It is none other than Isaac-O-MEL and he also sees Aken-R looking at him.

Unseen to either of them, Roy-R-HBL emerges from another RED TransTube train. His Reflec doesn't look quite as shiny as the others'. He walks over somewhat nearby to Aken-R, but doesn't seem to notice the other two yet. He seems to be preoccupied with the "Welcome to Wonderful WRC Sector" information sign.

Isaac-O smiles coyly at Aken-R, turns to say something to the empty TransTube car behind him, then walks over to Aken-R.

"Why hello there RED. I have a very special job for you! Don't worry it won't take long. I need you to follow me..." he says as he grabs Aken-R's arm and starts to lead him toward the TransTube car.

Aken-R pulls his arm out of Isaac-O's grip easily, saying "I can follow, ORANGE, I don't need to be led."

He follows Isaac-O over to the Transbot car, where Isaac-O tries to gently shove Aken-R into the car saying, "I need you to ride this transport and tell me how it feels. Report any bumps or treasonous things you see in triplicate squared. Transport, make sure this clone gets a...COMFORTABLE ride."

Aken-R stands his ground saying, ""Sir! The proper paperwork is needed, Sir! At least a Lone Clone Transport Mandate, Sir! With ample reasoning to spend TransBot resources on a single clone, Sir! As well, Sir! A Test of TransBot Comfort Level is needed, Sir! Not to mention, Sir! That I have a Troubleshooter briefing to attend, Sir! So you would also need the appropriate clearance, Sir! As well as several more forms, Sir! Including but not limited to, Sir! An Order to Delay Troubleshooter Briefing, Sir! And also a Why Am I More Important Than The Computer? reasoning form, Sir! So if you will excuse me, Sir! I have a Troubleshooter briefing to attend to, Sir!"

What will happen next, folks? Tune in next time to find out! Wait, what's that? You say there were four troubleshooters listed on the credits? Well spotted, citizen! There were indeed. Where is our forth Troubleshooter, Dean-O-KTI, you might ask? Well now, that would be telling, wouldn't it?

Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 002

Isaac-O stops pushing and looks at Aken-R with a hint of recognition. He mutters a word, then says "Aw circuits! The briefing! It totally passed my processors! ARGH!" and runs out of the TransTube Station.

Aken-R turns around to say something to Isaac-O, but realizes he's talking to thin air, so starts calmly looking around for something.

Roy-R, in the meantime, has wandered over closer to the two, and just as Isaac-O runs off, punches some buttons on his PDC.

The familiar, somewhat soothing voice of The Computer echos through the TransTube station as the TransTube schedule screens suddenly change to show an especially large version of The Great Eye.

The Computer : HOW MAY I BE OF SERVICE, CITIZEN ROY-R-HBL-1.

All of the other citizens in the TransTube station stop what they're doing and look at the screens. The station is silent except for one voice, "Pardon me, Friend Computer, but where might I find the WRC Troublethooter Headquarterth ath tho not to be late for my briefing?"

The Computer : DIRECTIONS ARE BEING DOWNLOADED TO YOUR PDC NOW. YOU NOW HAVE NINE MINUTES TO ARRIVE AT YOUR BRIEFING. I SHOULD ADD THAT YOUR MISSION IS VERY IMPORTANT, CITIZEN, AND I WILL BE GIVING YOUR PROGRESS VERY SPECIAL ATTENTION. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR SUCCESS. HAVE A HAPPY DAYCYCLE, CITIZEN ROY-R-HBL-1.

The screens return to normal, and the station's occupants return to activity.

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

...for all your oral hygiene needs. Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 003

As Roy-R is looking on his PDC to get the directions promised by Friend Computer, Aken-R walks up to him and says, "Citizen, I am Aken-R and I shall escort you to the troubleshooter briefing, just lead the way."

Roy-R takes no notice of his fellow Troubleshooter, and just starts walking off in the direction of the exit. Aken-R stomps off after him.

Before they get to the exit, the pair can hear the voice of The Computer out in the hallway, somewhat muffled by the distance, but still clearly audible thanks to the sheer volume of Our Friend's voice.

The Computer : HOW MAY I BE OF ASSISTANCE, CITIZEN ISAAC-O-MEL-1?

As the pair approach the exit, they hear The Computer's voice once again.

The Computer : CITIZEN ROY-R-HBL-1 IS APPROACHING YOUR LOCATION AND IS GOING TO THE LOCATION YOU REQUEST. IN THE INTEREST OF EFFICIENCY, PLEASE FOLLOW HIM TO YOUR DESTINATION. HAVE A HAPPY DAYCYCLE, CITIZEN ISAAC-O-MEL-1.

Roy-R and Aken-R emerge from the TransTube Station to see Isaac-O standing outside just as The Computer finishes this statement.

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

...now, operatorbots are standing by. Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 004

And now we'll follow our intrepid heroes to... wait, what's this? Rick-O, move the camera back into the TransTube station, they're just walking to HQ anyway. We've got new arrivals!

Who's that coming out of a TransTube train? It's Chaelim-R-BEL! She looks around, spots Roy-R and Aken-R leaving the station, and proceeds to an information kiosk.

As she walks away, another Troublshooter emerges from the same TransTube train. My, such a large citizen can only be Tom-R-KIT. He spots Chaelim-R and begins to walk after her.

Meanwhile, Chaelim-R arrives at the info kiosk and asks it, "Excuse me, which way to WRC's Troubleshooter Headquarters?"

The kiosk responds, "Roy-R-HBL-1 was just given directions to the location you request. You may follow him to your destination. He has just left the TransTube station. You can still catch him if you hurry. He the hygienicly challenged citizen, accompanied by the loud citizen."

Just as the kiosk finishes, Tom-R catches up with Chaelim-R. He approaches with a solomn look on his face, and nods seriously. He asks, "Are you a member of the Troubleshooters *snnrt*?"

Chaelim-R looks around Tom-R's bulk just in time to see Roy-R and Aken-R, joined by Isaac-O, move out of immediate sight outside in the corridor.

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

...It's the Mandatory Thing! Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 005

As she looks around the massive Tom-R, Chaelim-R is startled by his question.

"Y-yes," she says as her expression turns to mild disgust while looking toward the now empty corridor outside the TransTube station. He turns to follow her gaze, but sees nothing, of course.

"Can I help you?" she asks the larger clone.

He turns back around and nods with a small smile. He then gives the Information Kiosk an angry look and turns away, motioning her to follow with a wave of his arm.

She follows saying, "I'm sure he's leading me to the right place. Why else would he have asked if I'm a Troubleshooter?"

As Tom-R jiggles (his wording, I swear) toward the corridor, he mutters something. (Hey, Biff-O turn up the directional mike and point it at him, I wanna hear this)

"..I get paid for this stuff and it still does my job for me, snrrt. If I'd been just a few pounds lighter I'da been there first, snnrt. Guess it's just tha way of things, but still, hope it's not bein' silly and told 'em to go to the B3 plant, snnrt."

(Ooo, sounds like someone's not had his happy pills today.)

As the pair walk down the corrider, they don't catch sight of the other group yet, but they can tell they're not far off, as the occasional "We are loyal Troubleshooters of Friend Computer!" drifts back down the corridor toward them as Aken-R proclaims this to each and every citizen they pass. His heavy footsteps are clearly audible, also.

While walking, Tom-R also pulls out a small contraption of some sort. (What IS that thing, Rick-O zoom in on it, it might be treasonous) Tiny RED lights flash on it, and there's a whirring sound. Then a small black pill drops into his hand, as he mutters some more, "There's a good son of a [BLEEP]. Finally doin' what I tell ya, you stubborn little [BLEEP]," and takes the pill.

(My, quite a mouth on that one. Good hands on the censor button, Ralph-Y. Oh well, at least he's had his happy pill now, he should mellow out soon. At least, I hope that's what that pill was...)

Chaelim-R and Tom-R finally catch up with Isaac-O, Aken-R, and Roy-R outside of Troubleshooter HQ itself, as Roy-R pauses to verify on his PDC that they've arrived. There is now five minutes left for the group to get to their briefing.

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

...for all daycycle relief! Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 006

Tom-R appears to have begun to feel the effects of the pill he took on the way here. He passively stands there with a pleasant smile on his face while the small, homemade device that dispensed his pill earlier sits clipped to his jumpsuit, with a little fan whirring away, helping to keep Tom-R cool.

Chaelim-R, with a clenched jaw, shyly tries to make herself inconspicuous by standing behind Tom-R. Not a difficult task, considering the larger citizen's bulk.

Isaac-O looks at the rest of the Troubleshooters gathered in front of Troubleshooter HQ, gives a little chuckle, and says, "Looks like Friend Computer has sent its best troubleshooters for this job! We have me, ORANGE Tech Services extrordinaire, a RED citizen, another RED citizen, an other RED citizen, and a RED that is...erm...um...heavily built. Yeah, heavily built. So then, what about those Vacuum tubes eh?"

Meanwhile, Aken-R has taken the opportunity of the brief pause to open the door to the building, stand at attention and announce, "Inward, citizens, to our briefing!" He continues to stand at attention, holding the door for the others.

Roy-R looks at the two newcomers, shrugs slightly, and immediately walks into the building, where he can be heard saying, "Pardon me, thitithen, but could you poththibly tell me where Room 42Q is? My fellow Troublethooterth and I have a briefing to get to."

...it's Mandatorilicious! Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 007: A View to a Treason (Sorry couldn't resist)

Tom-R frowns and scratches the side of his neck as Isaac-O begins to walk toward the door. He then smiles his Visomorpain smile and says, "Yeah! snnrt Friend Computer always knows the best way to get things done Snrt!" Indicating Roy-R, "It can find the problem," then Aken-R, "And it can be sure to clearly explain it to me snnrt! And if the trouble needs lighting, we have your florecent egoermm, perrrsonality SNNRT! ooo, may need another one, snnrt.." While walking toward the door, he pulls his little gadget from where he'd clipped it to his jumpsuit and starts fiddling with it. "Would anybody like one snnrt? They're really well made nnrt." Just at that moment, the gadget spits out another black pill at high speed which beans him in the forehead, drawing forth another bleeped out word, and more frenzied fiddling while he continues into the building.

Chaelim-R follows him in, still staying behind him. Aken-R stomps in once the rest of the team has entered.

Once inside, the team is greeted to the sight of Roy-R wiping off some gunk from his ME Card and handing it to to a rather severe-demeanored YELLOW receptionist behind a desk who has her hand out to receive the card.

As he hands the card to the receptionist, he calls over his shoulder, "In here, thitithenth!" He does so just in time for Tom-R to receive the full blast of the spray from him saying "citizens." "Oh, thorry about that," he says immediately to the larger citizen.

Meanwhile, with a look of distaste, the receptionist swipes the card and holds it out for Roy-R to take again while saying in a nasal voice, "Your card, Roy-R-HBL-1. I assume the rest of you are also here for the same Troubleshooter briefing? I will need to see each of your ME Cards to verify your identity, and then I will direct you to your briefing room."

She holds her hand out again, after wiping it off with a handy tissue. She still has a look like she smells something distasteful.

Actually, now that the rest of the team in an enclosed space, the team begins to smell something rather unpleasant, too. Something like a mix of B.O. and... something unidentifiable. It's not terribly strong, but in the smallish lobby, it's beginning to become noticable.

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

...because that would be Treason! Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 008: Name That Smell

Tom-R looks at Roy-R with a look that plainly illustrates the inner conflict between the Visomorpain and the desire for swift and unnecessarily brutal revenge. The Visomorpain (and perhaps his self-preservation instinct) wins and he simply wipes the spittle from his face and says with a big friendly smile, "Think nothing of it, citisnnnrt!" and turns off his little fan-thingy and starts to fiddle with it.

While he's doing this, Chaelim-R slips out from behind Tom-R and hands the receptionist her ME Card. The receptionist takes it, swipes it and hands it back with the smooth motion of someone who's done this WAY too many times. "Thank you, Chaelim-R-BEL-1. Next!" she says as she holds out her hand again.

Aken-R whips out his ME Card and presents it to the receptionist, who gives it the same smooth treatment and hands it back. "Thank you, Aken-R-BSH-1. Next!" she says again.

Tom-R suddenly realizes he's supposed to be doing something other than fiddle with his little contraption and fumbles out his ME Card and hands it to the receptionist, who once again goes through her ritual. "Thank you, Tom-R-KIT-2. Next!"

Meanwhile, Roy-R has been standing off to the side, waiting for the others to finish.

Isaac-O, instead of pulling out his ME Card, stands there sniffing the air. His gaze finally lands on Aken-R and he immediately pinches his nose closed. He exclaims, "Acen-AR, please doo somethang about yar smell. Ah don't want the entire team to be termahnated because of yoo."

All eyes turn to Aken-R, except the receptionist's. She is staring at Isaac-O, who is the only one left who has not presented his ME Card. She has a rather annoyed look on her face. She clears her throat significantly while holding out her hand toward Isaac-O.

According to his post earlier, Grov should be getting back this Wednesday, and since it'll probably take a couple more turns for you lot to catch up to where he is, I'm going to go back now to posting whenever I'm ready. So try to get your turns in to me in... 24 hours this time (well, a little over since I can't check email at work anymore). I'd like to have everyone caught up and together in time for him to return to the game.

So... Have your turns to me before 2100 GMT (That's 1700 EDT) tomorrow. And I'll post when I have everything ready.

...to IntSec and win prizes! Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 009: Who Smelt It, Dealt It?

Suddenly, every tries to speak at once. Well, almost everyone.

Tom-R doesn't say anything, but he turns his fan-thingy back on, points it at his nose, and starts looking around for something.

Chaelim-R ducks back behind Tom-R, but not before saying a quiet, "It's not Aken," to no one in particular.

Roy-R backs up a few steps and says, "What thmell? I can't thmell anything around here?"

Meanwhile, Isaac-O notices the receptionist's stare and, giving her a quick smile, pulls out his ME card and hands it to her, while still holding his nose and glancing at Aken-R.

She once again does her smooth take/swipe/return motion, but before she can say her now-familiar line, Aken-R snaps to attention and bellows, "This stench that obviously violates the hygeine protocols was present before we even entered the room, and since the receptionist was here before us, it is her duty to Alpha Complex to inform we troubleshooters of the source of the smell so that we may proceed with our mission of heading to the briefing at utmost speed and hygeine!"

She gives Aken-R a cold stare for half a moment, then stands slowly, straightening her YELLOW dress-suit and bringing herself to her full height. She comes around the desk to stand directly in front of Aken-R and somehow manages to look down on him despite only coming up to the taller clone's chest. She begins to speak, punctuating key points with a jab of her bony finger into Aken-R's chest, which does not seem to discomfort him in the least... at least not physically, anyway.

"My duty, RED, is to confirm your identities and to direct you to your briefing room. I have now done the first, and I will do the second shortly. This stench, as you so elegantly put it, came in with you lot, and I expect it will leave when you do. If you really want to know the source of this stench, then I suggest you ask that one over there."

At this point, she stops poking Aken-R's chest and points firmly at Roy-R.

"This stench started when he came in the door. If I were one clearance higher, your insubordination and his hygeine violation would've gotten you two fined so fast your head would've spin. As it is, I will have to content myself with the knowledge that your briefing officer will be able to take care of that for me. I can also content myself with the knowledge that you all now have 1 minute left to get to your briefing room, and it will take longer than a minute to get there."

"Now then," she is instantly calm and businesslike again as she returns to her side of the desk and sits down. She addresses Isaac-O, "Thank you, Isaac-O-MEL-1. Troubleshooter Team 42Q-Omega, you will find your briefing room down this hall, take the first corridor to the left, go down the elevator to the 4th Basement floor, go down that corridor to the 5th door on the right. That'll be 42Q, which is, at you should already know, is your briefing room. Now I suggest you get moving before they decide you're not coming at all and decide to terminate the lot of you."

"Have a nice daycycle!" She ends her speech with a very large smile.

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

Ok, Grov's back, so we'll be continuing the slightly accelerated turns until we can introduce Dean-O into the rest of the group, which should only be another turn or two.

So... Have your turns to me before 2100 GMT (That's 1700 EDT) Thursday. (I would've said sooner, but I don't come home until late on Wednesdays, and I'm not going to try to put together a turn at 11pm when I have to work in the morning)

...for fresh breath that will pass any hygiene inspection! Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 1: Mission Alert
Turn 010: You're the Next Contestant...

Aken-R snaps to attention and gives the receptionist a salute, saying, "I apologize for my insubordination. I did not know that the smell was with that clone, for he entered before I did, and did not exude that smell before he entered. Again, I apologize, sir." With that, he spins on his heels smartly and leads the way down the corridor.

Tom-R stops looking around for whatever he was looking for, twitches a bit, and starts walking down the corridor while fiddling with his little contraption again, which shoots out a RED pill, causing Tom-R to fumble a bit before managing to catch it and take it. As he walks, he's also grumbling under his breath, but that soon stops as the pill takes effect and a big smile appears on his face.

Chaelim-R mutters to her right, at... no one, "Well, I wasn't going to say anything about it." and follows the others down the corridor.

Roy-R looks puzzled and sniffs his collar a couple of times and says, "Huh. Can't thmell a thing. Well, we're going to have to worry about that later; we don't want to be late for the briefing." Then then follows the rest.

Isaac-O just follows along silently, bringing up the rear.

The team reaches the promised elevator and Aken-R pushes the button to go down, since he's in front. The team crowds into the elevator, which between Aken-R's muscular bulk and Tom-R's... less-than-muscular bulk, is a rather tight squeeze. While riding uncomfortably down to the fourth basement, a chorus to various ringtones come from everyone's PDC, letting them know that time's up and they've all just been fined 200 credits, though no one can actually check their PDC at this exact moment, there's no doubt as to the content of the message. This brings a sour expression to everyone's face before they remember to be manditorily happy, except for Tom-R. His face never wavers from its drug-induced happy smile. Then again, the sour expression could be because the smell has definitely followed the team into the elevator.

Eventually, the elevator doors open into a long corridor with lots of doors. The team finds 42Q and opens the door to see an official-looking BLUE sitting behind a desk facing 6 chairs. One of these chairs are occupied by an ORANGE citizen who has somehow managed to look stern, dignified and happy all at the same time. There is also a vidscreen behind and to one side of the BLUE citizen which shows.... the Troubleshooter Team coming off of the elevator from a few seconds ago.

The BLUE stands up and touches a button on the desk, turning off the vidscreen. He then turns to the team with a huge smile, picking up a long, thin microphone.

"Troubleshooter Team 42Q-Omega! Welcome to your briefing. I am your host, Bill-B-WRC-4. Please come in and have a seat, and we will begin the briefing."

This is said in the manner of every gameshow host ever put on screen. It is followed by the sudden appearance of colored flashing lights and music that can only be described as 'gameshow' music. There is also the sound of thunderous applause coming from somewhere.

The five empty seats are illuminated by five individual spotlights. The ORANGE citizen is also illuminated by his own spotlight along with the empty seats.

This concludes this Episode of the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders. Tune in next time for Episode 2: The Briefing.

Hello, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! Are you ready for the next chapter in the exciting new vidshow everyone's been talking about? Too bad, because that's been cancelled. Instead, LIVE on the PBEM Network, it's The Bot Murders!

Starring:
Grov-R-LER as Dean-O-KTI
Richie-R-ICH-1 as Isaac-O-MEL
NekoAbyss as Aken-R-BSH
Elm-R-FUD as Roy-R-HBL
Chaelim as Chaelim-R-BEL
Smiling_Oddling as Tom-R-KIT
and
Bill-Y-BOY as the GM

Episode 2: Briefing
Turn 011: Dazed and Treasonous

As the lights start flashing and the gameshow music begins, the ORANGE citizen that had formerly been seated suddenly stands and squints into the bright light toward the team. He seems to be sizing them up. He also seems to be trying to cover for being startled out of this chair.

Meanwhile, Tom-R's smile widens slightly and he waves brightly to the ORANGE before picking a seat at random and plopping down into, apparently enjoying the light show. His face says "Ooh, the colors," just as clearly as if he'd spoken the line aloud, which he didn't.

Chaelim-R picks a chair and sits, but then glances around nervously before turning to her right side suddenly, and says, "I... sure... I'll just stand," to the empty chair beside her. She then stands again, and moves around to stand behind the chair she just sat in.

Aken-R and Roy-R both appear to be trying to look at the chairs. It's unclear what they're looking for.

Isaac-O, apparently dazzled by the loud music and bright, flashing lights, stands there in a daze.

Bill-B, throughout this display of the quality troubleshooter behavior we've all come to expect, stands with his big 'gameshow host' grin plastered on his face, as he holds his arm out in a gesture toward the chairs as he waits for the team to finish being seated.

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

...must be some kind of treason. Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 2: Briefing
Turn 012: Now Tell Them What They've Won!

Aken-R and Roy-R give up trying to look at the chairs and decide to sit down. Aken-R takes the chair on the end of the row, sitting at attention, while Roy-R takes the chair beside him and looks attentively at the briefing officer.

Tom-R continues to sit in the next seat over, looking happily around at the pretty colored lights flashing all around him.

Chaelim-R continues standing behind her chair, looking uncomfortable.

Isaac-O snaps out of his daze just enough to sit in the next seat over.

Dean-O sheepishly retakes his seat and smiles (nervously) at the BLUE briefing officer.

The music does a final flourish as it goes down to a low background level, and then gradually fades away. The multi-colored flashing lights stop, and the overall lighting returns to normal which are now revealed to be four RED seats with an ORANGE seat on either end of the row.



As the music fades, Bill-B animates once again, gameshow host grin still there.

"Welcome, Troubleshooters, and our audience at home! Now that we've all been seated," He gives Chaelim-R a glance here, "and ready, it's time to start your briefing, but first, it looks like I'm going to have to take care of some other business first. It's time for the segment of our show called Correct The Traitor!"

The unseen audience erupts into applause briefly and quiets again as Bill-B continues.

"It seems that most of you have already been rather naughty on your way here, so Rod-G! Tell them what they've earned!!

A deep, booming, yet friendly and enthusiastic, voice issued from an unseen source.

"Yes, indeed, Bill-B! First, it seems that only one of you managed to make it here on time, so we'll start this segment by fining each and every one of you, except Dean-O, who was actually here five minute early, 200 credits! But that's not all!"

As each person is mentioned, a spotlight turns on directly above them.

"Aken-R, for general insubordination toward a YELLOW citizen, and sitting in a chair above your clearance, you're being fined an additional 100 credits and you've won an all expenses paid trip to the "Clearances and You" Learning Center. Where you'll have a 5 daycycle refresher course in the wonderful benefits of our Computer-given Clearance System!! To be taken as soon as this mission is complete."

"Roy-R, for your grievous breach of Hygiene protocols committed when you showed up to a briefing smelling heinously stinky, you have been fined an additional 100 credits, and you will receive a special session with a very special scrubot, specially callibrated to get you clean and refreshed. You session begins... now!!

Roy-R's chair suddenly shoots down into the floor, and while the voice continues, muffled screams and gurgles can be heard from the hole left behind, and the occasional jet of foam shoots up from the hole.

"Moving on! Tom-R, we heard what you said earlier on the way to the briefing center. Fortunately, you self-medicated before we had to do it for you, but you still can't be using such language like that, so you will receive a free mouthwashing!!"

A robotic arm holding a small bar of soap emerges from the floor in front of Tom-R, while another reaches up from behind and forces Tom-R's mouth open. The first arm then proceeds to literally wash Tom-R's mouth out with soap. While that's happening, the voice continues.

"Chaelim-R! You were doing so well! We thought you wouldn't need additional correction at all, but then you had to go and disobey a BLUE citizen's order by standing behind your chair instead of sitting in it. For this, you, too will be fined an additional 100 credits. Oh, and you will sit now."

A pair of robotic arms reach down from the ceiling, grab Chaelim-R and lift her up and over the chair and set her into it. Then, immediately a pair of metal bonds come out of the side of the chair and clamp down on her legs, keeping her there.

"Isaac-O, for falsely accusing Aken-R of hygiene violations, you will receive a 50 credit fine. Back to you Bill-B!"

Bill-B goes back into action, just as a much cleaner smelling (and wetter) Roy-R emerges once again into the room, and Tom-R completes his mouth washing.

"Thank you, Rod-G. Now, then Troubleshooters, before we continue, does anyone have any further problems, or anything else they'd like to say to me before we begin with the briefing proper?

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

...kills Treason... DEAD. Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 2: Briefing
Turn 013: Your Mission, You WILL Choose to Accept it...

Tom-R and Dean-O sit there quietly, smiling, though in Tom-R's case, it's more of a 'drugged out of my gourd' smile than Dean-O's 'I hope no one notices me and gets me in trouble, too' smile.

Roy-R shakes some excess water and suds off of himself, splattering Aken-R and Tom-R slightly in the process, then also sits there smiling attentively at the briefing officer.

Chaelim-R glares at Isaac-O before looking sheepishly at the floor. She shakes her head and answers the briefing officer with a simple "No, sir."

Aken-R is the only one to have a question. "Could I please switch with Isaac-O, so that we are sitting in seats more befitting of our clearances?"

Bill-B looks between Aken-R and Isaac-O for a moment, then shrugs and says, "If Isaac-O is willing to relinquish his seat, I have no problem with it. We do need to fix the fact that you're still seated in a seat above your clearance. Well, Isaac-O?"

Isaac-O looks over at Aken-R for a moment before answering, "I don't know, this seat is actually quite comfy. I think I'd like to stay here beside my fellow ORANGE citizen."

Bill-B rolls his eyes slightly and says "Fine. Aken-R, you may stand for the rest of the briefing, rather than stay seated treasonously."

Aken-R stands up and comes to attention. Bill-B presses a button on the desk and the ORANGE chair vanishes into the floor, and a panel slides into place where the chair was, leaving no sign that a chair was once there.

Bill-B goes into action once more, "Alrighty then! Before I go on, let's formally introduce our Team!"

A spotlight shines on Aken-R.

"He's a proud member of Alpha Complex's Armed Forces, works for the Crowd Control service firm, Ped-X-Busters, and has a penchant for dramaticly heroic acts. Say hello to our Loyalty Officer, Aken-R-BSH-1!!"

Thunderous applause fills the room, then dies down and the spotlight moves to the next citizen in line.

"He's a distinguished member of Research and Design, works for the Goo Cleanup service firm, GooBeGone, and gets excited when things go boom. Say hello to our Happiness Officer, Roy-R-HBL-1!!"

Once again, thunderous applause fills the room (in fact, it sounds EXACTLY like the previous thunderous applause), then dies down and the spotlight moves to the next citizen in line.

"He's a diligent member of Production, Logistics, and Commissary, works for the Field Logistics Advisor service firm, Quickie Quickie Trac Trac!, and loves to tinker. Say hello to our Equipment Guy, Tom-R-KIT-2!!"

Thunderous applause, spotlight moves, you get the idea.

"She's a devoted member of Power Services, works for the Fuel Cell Replenishment service firm, Eco-Pulse, and had better cheer up before we decide she needs her daily prescribed medication dosage increased. Say hello to our Hygiene Officer, Chaelim-R-BEL-1!!"

Thunderous movement, spotlight applauds... um, wait a minute... Aw, you know what I mean...

"He's a hard-working member of Technical Services, works for the Technical Support service firm, Bot Helpers, and can tell you the difference between a 14B nozzle cleaner and a 14F nozzle cleaner. Say hello to our Public Relations Officer, Isaac-O-MEL-1!!"

More thunderous applause, but when the spotlight moves this time, the lights also dim in the rest of the room, and a soft drumroll starts.

"And last, but by no means least, the only citizen to be completely loyal and avoid all fines and corrections on the way to this briefing, he's a dignified member of Housing Preservation and Development & Mind Control, works for the Singalong Agent service firm, Sing-song Singalongs, and has one heckuva good singing voice. Give a warm friendly hand to our Team Leader, Dean-O-KTI-1!!"

The volume of the thunderous applause is taken up a notch or three, and this time is accompanied by more game show music and flashing colored lights before finally dieing back down and eventually the room returns to normal, and Bill-B continues.

"All right, now that that's taken care of, let's get down to the briefing. Your mission is rather simple in concept, but likely highly difficult and dangerous in execution. It is also vitally important to the well-being of all loyal citizens. Now then, there have been a rash of murders in this sector. So far none of the victims have been able to identify their killer. Either they didn't see them, their MemoMax signal cut off before their killer struck, or the victim's botbrain was damaged beyond any hope of information retrieval. Yes, some of the victims have been bots, but not all of them. I will upload the details of the incidents to your Team Leader's PDC now."

He presses several buttons on the desk, and Dean-O's PDC beeps shortly after he finishes.

"Your mission is to find out who or what is committing these treasonous acts. If it is a single citizen, you are to terminate with extreme prejudice, and the traitor's template will be wiped. If it is a group, report this, and a full-blown crackdown will be implemented, and the group will cease to be. You are, of course, to terminate all known members you come across. If the killer is a bot, you are to capture the bot undamaged, so that it can be found out how its Asimov Circuits were compromised."

"Now then, you will have only one Service Service to do for this mission, due to its importance and the need for you to concentrate only on this mission. As you may have suspected already, you are, in fact, being recorded for a Vidshow chronicling the progress of your Team. Not only that, you are being broadcast LIVE, on a slight time delay, on the PBEM Network. This is your Service Service, and also the reason why you were not assigned a Communications and Recording Officer, as the crew of the PBEM Network will be taking care of those duties, using the many security cameras and special hidden camera operators. Also, it should be interesting to note that our Friend and yours, The Computer will also be taking a very special interest in your progress."

After taking a deep breath, Bill-B continues.

"Alright, Troubleshooter Team 42Q-Omega. Does anyone have any questions about the mission before we send you over to PLC for your mission equipment?"

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

Also, anyone out there with a copy of Extreme PARANOIA, please PM me, as I have a small question about something that I think is in it. If no one answers, I think I can still wing it, but I'd prefer to know for sure.

...we sell Spatulas... and that's all. Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 2: Briefing
Turn 014: Stay Alert!

Roy-R salutes the BLUE citizen. "Nargle-" he says, before he turns away briefly to clear some soap out of his mouth. Once that is done, he turns back and continues, "No quethtionth, thir."

Tom-R smacks his lips trying to get the soapy taste out of his mouth before happily indicating that he has a question, "I mean no disrespect to the judgement of Friend Computer, or those in company who have, through wisdom and remarkable decency, attained higher clearence than myself, snnrt... acckkk!!" He suddenly stops a moment as a soap bubble emerges from his nose and pops softly. The rest sounds a little nasal, "But may I ask why the more technical and self-pronouced ORANGE among us..ack, snnrt, is comfined to the Public Relations post, snnrt, whereas the ORANGE with the highest repute and best singing voice is denyed use ..snnrt, ack.. of his talents by being placed in a position that doesn't call for them, snnrt? While I respect the arrangement made, and am satisfied with my own place in it, could our cause be better served if the esteemed ORANGE citizens were in each other's postions?"

He then awaits his answer while delightedly wiggling his feet.

Bill-B gives Tom-R a decidedly unpleasant look before answering, "Well, RED," putting special emphasis on the word RED, "there are many reasons, which are all above your clearance. But the reason that is most important to you, RED, is that Friend Computer said so. That should be enough for any loyal citizen... any more questions?"

Aken-R stands there, paying attention, but not offering any questions of his own.

Chaelim-R, likewise sits there quietly, apparently deep in thought.

Dean-O, who had been checking his PDC since it beeped earlier, looks up again and indicates that he has a question, "Sir, as this investigation is of special significance to... everyone," at this point, Dean-O gives the BLUE a significant look, "is there anything extra you think we might find useful?"

Bill-B beams at the ORANGE. "Excellent, Dean-O, good eye. That's the kind of attention to detail that will get this mission wrapped up in record time!" He turns back to Tom-R to say, "Yet another reason why he was chosen as Team Leader," He then addresses the group, "What your Team Leader is discretely letting me know is that he's noticed that my name, or rather my previous clone's name, is on the list of victims I just sent to him. Unfortunately, I cannot give you much more information than what I have already. Like I said before, all the clone victims either never saw their killer or the MemoMax implant didn't transmit the last few moments of their life. I, or rather, he was one of the latter. I don't remember being killed. I, he, was at his appartment, minding his own business, and next thing I know I'm being decanted. The crime scene has, of course, been sealed to preserve any evidence there may be, so you will be able to look it over during your investigation. These details are also in the file I sent your Team Leader, along with the statements and current location of each victim, where applicable. Obviously the murdered bots cannot be interviewed."

"And now, post-briefing question time is over. It's time to send these brave Troubleshooters to PLC where they'll be given the very best and most efficient equipment Friend Computer has to offer. If you all would go back through the door you came in, and exit this building, you will find an AutoHack waiting to take you all to the Official Troubleshooter PLC Depot.

"Do Friend Computer proud on this Mission, citizens, and there will be big things in your future! Disappoint Friend Computer and, well, I hope you like black. This is Bill-B-WRC-4, and remember..."

An unseen audience joins in as Bill-B says the next line.

"Stay Alert! Trust No One! Keep Your Laser Handy! Thank you, and good nightcycle!"

The lights go out and the door opens back out into the (relatively) bright corridor.

We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...

...makes mouths manditorily happy! Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 2: Briefing
Turn 015: Trust No One!

In the gloom of the darkened room, a figure at the end of the row of seats stands. Dean-O's voice is heard, "Thankyou, sir!" accompanied by a motion from that direction that could have been a salute, but the darkness makes it difficult to see. The darkened figure then turns toward where the other Troubleshooters sit. "Single file, behind me. Tallest to the back. I want a nice orderly march." There is another salute-like motion, and the figure marches past the others, who, from the sounds, appear to be getting up.

Amid the shuffling sounds of Troubleshooters attempting to line up by height in the dark, there is the low sound of "...grmble grem grumble coulda seen too grrumble my grump grumbley snnnrt. Oh well.." <clatterclatterclatter... hmm... clatterclatterclatter... ok... clatterclatterclatter... o rly?> followed by a loud exclamation of "Ow, my foot!" and muffled thump.

After some more shuffling around, the team emerges into the light of the corridor outside.

In front of the line is Dean-O. Next is Chaelim-R, limping slightly. Next is Isaac-O. Next is Tom-R, rubbing a place on his belly, but smiling at some inner thoughts. Next is Roy-R. Then, bringing up the rear is Aken-R stomping along.



We shall return to the PBEM Network's presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages...
