<D><f s="2">plang=researchlabs</f><s><p>Happy Bunnies! I made a countermeasure for the Keller organism. :) Aren't I the <I x="64" y="64" f="PAMELAL" a="l">best? I get to organize the mission cause none of the other dispatchers are left. It's really too bad about Lieutenant Mills. He was a friend of mine :(  Anyway to work! My funky countervirus will defeat the enemy! We just need to get it in to where Keller's sentience is located in the Network 53 research lab. See, it's like a bihelixal DNA strand, or a recursive breeder code, get it? It's really simple. The holographic pattern is self-reproductive and inductive to a fractal matrix. The central core is a feeder to the extremities via carrier viruses like the one that escaped from the lab on Steve's time card. Poor Steve. Anyway we have to isolate the Network 53 lab where Keller's mind is centered cause otherwise he might download himself or even make lots of copies of himself and send them everywhere and that would be very bad!!!! Captain Howe's squad is going to work with you in a coordinated attack on all seven jumpgate hubs in the region. The attacks are synchronized so that we'll hit all the jumpgate hubs at the same time and nasty bad Keller can't get away. Pretty please could you put the blow up the jumpgate hub for me? You'll need to destroy the thermal receptor on the geothermal power plant before you hit the jumpgate hub cause otherwise Keller'll just rebuild it. Now you be careful! The teleport gate depot has a major league defence system that will be activated by any destruction of the compound equipment once you're inside the compound. And the gravity is more than four Gs. Fun fun fun. Thanks <k>!<p>Pamela :)<p><F S="2">OBJECTIVES:</F><S>Destroy thermal receptor.

Broughton, Pfc. Cordova, Lt. Granville, Lt. Haro, Capt. Howe, Lt. Thurlow.<p>Hi everyone! Before you all go off to fight bad guys I thought I'd tell you just what it is we're fighting and why we have to kill it. Thousands of years ago a race of aliens with huge brains landed on a stone-age planet and they built a defence grid of pyramid beam weapons. Each weapon in the grid was made up out of a programmable artificial life form - sort of a cross between DNA coding and nanocomputer circuitry. Like life on Earth, each cell could build an organism, but it also had room for command lines. The program for the defence installation was simple: If you see something that isn't one of us, kill it. Totally simple. But when they left the planet they left one of the units intact. The stuff is mineral based, super long shelf life. And last year, in September 2218, a Network 53 archeological unit dug up the site and brought back a sample to their lab and started trying to communicate with it. It took them eight months, but they did it. They grew cultures of the sample and bred it with nanotech until it could interface with the language centers of the R & D computer. But the dummies couldn't read the command lines! The stuff got access to the Network 53 security systems and it still had the same programming on every cell: If you see something that isn't one of us, kill it. Everyone in the outpost was dead in a matter of hours. The thing could see billions and billions of humans on the comnet and it would have to kill all of us to fulfill its programming. It took over the Network 53 military and just kept on spreading. And you know what? If it kills us it's just gonna keep spreading. Somewhere outside of explored space there's a race of cute little bunnies or lizards or hairy things or humans just like us and they're not going to have a chance against this thing. Kill it, boys and girls.<p>Pamela :)</D>
