*Craig shrugged* Do your thing, I'm here, I'm listening for incoming....

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 23, 2011 11:59:00 PM)
Yeah…but like you said if it was checking my pattern with biometrics you would have felt life more than likely. Maybe entropy then I use that sometimes ? *She asked herself curiously going over to the control panel she opened up the task pane to see what processes were running at the time and if there was anything strange she didn’t recognize*

Craig Killian (Nov 23, 2011 11:59:59 PM)
*He shrugged* If you use Entropy you should have felt it, but the spheres I don't know enough to recognize from, we're talking Spirit, Entropy, matter....

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:00:24 AM)
So it had to be one of those three. *He gestured* But you are the expert on this stuff.

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 12:01:03 AM)
*Nothing shows up out of the ordinary. An antivirus program, the usual programs that Windows runs that never actually does anything but looks good on the screen anyway, but nothing that stands out or seems to be unusual*

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 12:04:28 AM)
My bet then is matter. Just a much really, could be wrong. Well fuck it. I am just going to go poke around and see what I can see. *Rather than dilly dally around looking at the backend that was not showing anything out of the ordinary she decided to try a little bit of Kayology in just randomly clicking things, mostly around in the documents section to see what she could find hoping to stumble upon something that might look useful* Maybe there are some hidden documents around here…come on out wherever you are…

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:05:11 AM)
If it's a technocrats or a nephandi's computer, I gurantee it's hidden.

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:05:56 AM)
*Craig didn't watch Kay, what she did with computers just confused the ever-loving shit out of him, instead he closed his eyes and felt the world around them, listening and feeling for anyone trying to see back in on where they were....*

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 12:10:30 AM)
*Most of the files that open are innocent enough. Cooking recipies for pecan pie and chocolate cakes, or saved web-comics. Birthday reminders as names and numbers are thrown together, and a reminder on the calendar of "dark sun" on December 21*

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:12:14 AM)
*Craig was being good little vigilant guardian, his attention turned outward - he trusted Kaydence to protect them from the internet side of things. His hand slipped into his pocket and he came out with the buddhist prayer beads in hand....*

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 12:13:19 AM)
*Nothing stirred against Craig's sentry posts that he set up around the room, giving the impression of this being just any other exercise of using an ordinary computer*

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 12:14:57 AM)
Blah blah blah bullshit. Pointless. Dumb. Oh…pecan pie. Oh hello valuable personal information. *She looked over the names and birthdays to see if anything rang a bell or stood out to her. Then it was on to the Calender date, December 21 dark sun* Is there like…an eclipse going on December 21ist ?*She ask even as she slid over to her other computer to perform a search*

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:16:16 AM)
*Craig shrugged* December 21 is the Solstice....

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:17:02 AM)
Longest night of the year...

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 12:17:58 AM)
*The names and numbers weren't of anyone immediately famous in the area, and apparently was just a collection of about a dozen names placed into the directory. The laptop's fans give a slight whirl as they come to life as she moves over to her own computer to check the date. No ecplise, but it is the winter solstice date and an important time of year for some pagan religions and practices*

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 12:20:31 AM)
Ha. Yes of course. Well that would make sense. I wonder if someone was planning to do a voodoo hoodoo ritual then or something. *She shrugs her shoulders a bit moving back the other laptop, her search was now consisting of terms with dark sun or ritual in it *She snerked a little bit* I wonder if this thing has an excutable program that will run on the solstice, and you know...blow up the world...just a thought.

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:22:41 AM)
Wouldn't you have to look deeper, into the code or something?

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:22:49 AM)
I mean, I don't know.....

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 12:24:41 AM)
(Kaydence, what sort of computer is your rig? Trinary or just a regular computer that's been supp'd up some?)

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 12:26:19 AM)
(( Trinary...there is a story with that...))

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 12:26:45 AM)
(No, that's fine. I just needed to know for my own notes >.> *Whistles innocently*)

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:27:00 AM)
(Trinary and hand built by Kaydence....)

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 12:28:30 AM)
*In her search of the directory, she finds a folder that simply says "C" and is locked away from casual browsing*

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 12:29:40 AM)
Yeah possibly, though that is not something I can access from the GUI. Windows machines get all pissy when you try to fuck with their kernel. Humm. You know…*She glanced over at her HK Rig then back to the other machine. About that time she seems the C folder come up that is locked out.* Its about time this gets a little more interesting. She cracks her fingers and sets to work trying to get around the block*

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:31:05 AM)
*Craig smiled. That was his Kaydence. He silently slid the prayer beads through his fingers as he listened to her - but once more turned his attention outward....*

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 12:36:13 AM)

*As Kaydence begin to work her fingers against the keys, the fan kicks in once again, as the coding of the system seems to come to life and actively resists her attempts to penetrate the defenses by altering coding and executable files and other aspects of its harddrive to make it difficult for the mage*

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 12:44:03 AM)
Oh. So you don’t like it when I touch you there? That’s too bad. Cus now I am going to have to get all rough with you. You know I’ve had machines like you before. It’s just a matter of time because you subcome to my awesome. *She slowly pulled her fingers away from the keyboard shaking her head as she removed a pink HK usb connector to make a direct connection between her system and the other laptop. *

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:44:47 AM)
*Craig continued to watch their surroundings, his sense alert for anything coming in - or going out....*

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 12:46:53 AM)
*It's too faint for Craig to hear, but the fan whirling sounds almost like a whine for a split second as Kaydence connects it to the rig. The rest of the room is still calm and unaffected by whatever is in the machine that is affecting Kaydence's attempts. There's a soft beep from Windows as the two machines are connected, and a little pop-up box that says "Unknown hardware detected"*

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 12:48:23 AM)
Bad touch? Does not want? *he asked, eyes still closed*

(Thanks :) )

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 12:56:22 AM)
Cha...this thing is being a little bitch.*Kaydence seemed to disregard the pop-up clock that appeared, closing it down. Her attention then moved back to her own rig where she was checking firewalls and ports to manually connect the two computers and place them on the same port if need be, but with the protection of giving herself the capability to accept of deny anything coming from the other rig. *

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:01:24 AM)
If it's being a bitch pimp slap it? *Craig made a quick inward look, then focused his attention on the room itself before turning his eyes outward again....* (Opening his senses to the 6 spheres he knows - just a quick sight to see if anything unusual is going on. 2 sux at dif 4.)

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 1:03:17 AM)
*Nothing stands out while she's checking her own security, everything beeping and chirping and flashing like it should for Kaydence as the two systems just sit there like conjoined twins. The laptop's operating system makes a few other security flashes about unknown hardware before the trinary is able to settle into a dominate position within the configuration. Craig's senses doesn't detect anything more than what was there as he set up the sentry system*

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:06:02 AM)
Whatever it is, it's stable... and if there's a warning of some kind going out no one is scrying us....

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 1:15:22 AM)
*Once the two laptops were connected she decides that it is time to try and make another attempt on cracking this son of a bitch wide open. This time she would be doing the work from her own home turf, a place she knew inside and out and was very familiar with. She looked as though she was about to attack the computer with her fingers then paused for a second, getting a wiry grin on her lips an idea comes to mind. Kay enjoys destroying shit, and causing a little choas. Randomly stands up reaches over the laptops and starts randomly throwing her hello kitty figurines all over the place and even ends up breaking one of her HK bobble heads against her wall. After that was sufficiently destroyed she sat back down without any explanation, her mind focused she used entropy and forces to try and destroy the protection around the file she was interested in*

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:16:28 AM)
*Craig opened one eye to watch her tossing shit around, but didn't move, rather, a slight grin on his face. Chaos factor much? *

(Yeah, typing. Give me a sec)

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 1:25:49 AM)
*Craig's senses can detect the sudden flare of primal magic as Kaydence does her thing. It's like a power-spike, a quick flash and then it's gone just as quickly as it appeared with nothing the worse for wear apparently. Meanwhile, thanks to the targeted bit of chaos from the blonde HK-phile the folder's password is bypassed and the file opens up to reveal a few simple lines of text that read. "Dark sun on the solstice. Darkness floods the river and fills the twisted tunnels. Let the dark light shine on". Meanwhile, Kaydence's trinary rig begins to give her warnings that the laptop is beginning to become unstable and nearly to the point of crashing*

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:28:56 AM)
*Craig's senses tingle, he hikes one eyebrow* That thing just spiked baby - prime magick - maybe a self defense?

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 1:30:12 AM)
Yeah. It's pissed that I broke passed its protection.*There is a little bit of manic laughter when she bypasses the folders protection. But that is quickly dispersed when her baby started to complain. Quickly she takes a screen shot of the document, the reaches over and pulls the connection manually as it was the quickest means to an end and she didn’t want her rig going down and biting the big one*

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:30:39 AM)
Hard kill the power...?

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 1:31:17 AM)
(( the USB connection between the two pc's for clarification))

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 1:31:29 AM)
*Kaydence manages to get the screenshot over on her rig before a puff of white smoke comes out of the laptop's side and the whole thing just go ker-fucked*

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:32:15 AM)
*Craig smells smoke and opens his eyes, his senses still turned outward...* Wow... that shit died hard. Did you get it?

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 1:34:24 AM)
*Still holding the other side of the cord she looks at it then looks at the laptop with smoke rolling on out, pushing out her bottom lip in thought as she nodded her head to Craig* yeah...I got a screen shot of it. I guess that entropy worked a little too well. Maybe I am becomeing more skilled in that sphere. Look out world...

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:35:40 AM)
Maybe... but that's you. You have to learn and grow your magick in your way. *He smiled and got up, kissed the top of her head* I need you to be you, I'll worry about being me. Lets see what you got....

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:37:02 AM)
*The Caucasian Asian read the screen shot on Kay's laptop and blinked* Wow... that's... esoteric and obtuse as all get out.

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 1:39:06 AM)
*And Kaydence is left with a burnt out husk of a laptop that would none the less make one hell of a fine paperweight or table-level-upper. Meanwhile, the screenshot of the file remains on her rig's monitor as the machine awaits further input from Kaydence*

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 1:39:57 AM)
*She was grinning like a retard when he kiss her forehead, Craig was one of the few things that could completely turn her brain to mush, or make her focus with a blinding clearity. It was not untill he spoke again that she looked back down at the screen and read it again* Yeah why can't bitches be more blunt?

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:42:21 AM)
Because they're evil villains so they have to leave their shit vague so they can monologue when they have us hanging by our entrails above the firey pit of doom and expound upon their plan for world domination. This guy was down in Venice... so what the hell does all this mean upriver? Hrm. *he stood up thinking* The winter Solstice, Yule, Toji, the Setsubun... something's going on babe, this could be important. You got any contacts among the Virtual Adepts who might know something?

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 1:44:08 AM)
*She saved the screen shot quickly. Leaning back in her chair she picked HK pen up off the floor from her little display of distriction and balanced it between her nose and her lip. It helped her think.* You know...I was thinking about that myself. I'll see what I can come up with. Though I wonder if someone more spiritual might also have some insight...I don't know a shit ton of VA's that are down with that kinda stuff you know?

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:47:20 AM)
I know. I'll see if I can find Lyric or Tara or Xander but they'be been as hard to find as hens teeth for a while now. Which leaves us with very few leads. Maybe I can locate Chandi... I haven't seen anyone at her place in months though. Worst comes to worst I'll get in touch with Yi Su Jung in Korea or Master Hao if I get real desperate, but you know, these Nephandi, this shit's not Asian. *He thought for a minute* Do you know anyone else you can think of who might be worth talking to?

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 1:49:55 AM)
*From the look on her face he likely knew what she was going to say. The pen rolling off her face and into her hands as she huffed groaned and huffed a little more not wanting to say it* Dickless wonder? I mean…MAYBE if he give us insight as to what it means but as far as stopping any of it I am sure we would be on our own.

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:52:04 AM)
*He shrugged* Well, if we get no other leads we'll talk to him. We should talk to him either way and pass off a print of that screen shot - this shit might effect a lot more than you and me down here, remember, we found this where that fucker nephandie had tortured and killed that mage. *He thought for a momrnt* And on our own is fine, what we need to know more importantly is what we're TRYING to stop. Hrm. Mummer's Day.... Darkie day... you ever hear that song by Loreena McKennit, The Mummer's Dance?

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 1:55:47 AM)
You know it could be some sacrificial ritual that is going to happen then it would not surprise me one damn bit to be honest with you. *She looked back to the laptop for a second. Then back to Craig* No…I haven’t but I was wondering. Can you check to see if you can get any sort of resonance impression or something off of it? I mean that can happen sometimes right? It someone uses an object a lot or….purposfully puts it there? I just wonder if that would sometime be helpful…just incase we find something and come across it later.

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 1:57:46 AM)
*he thought* God.. when I took world religions working on my bachelors in Anthropology before I went to Asia we talked about, my god, two dozen solstice celebrations - damn near every pagan culture in history had some kind of observance that ranged from like, two weeks before to two weeks after the solstices... we've got like, dozens and dozens of possibilities if it's tied to a pagan believe. Dark tunnels. Dark light. Dark tunnels? What the hell does that mean, there's not a tunnel *in* south Louisiana. *He put his finger to his mouth as he thought, then he nodded to her and picked up a sharpei off her desk, Hello Kitty Sharpie, what the fuck? He shrugged, uncapped it, and marked an elaborage Chinese symbol right on the crisped top of the Nephandus laptop, closed his eyes, and sensed for the resonance on the machine....* (2 sux to sense any resonance on the machine.)

Stolen Laptop (Scene) (Nov 24, 2011 2:01:01 AM)
*The machine, it just sits there. It's dead, Jim. But there is a faint, lingering touch of a resonance that is heavily entropic, but it's too faint to be identified beyond that*

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 2:02:01 AM)
*Well yes anything he touched or picked up in this little office of hers was either going to be pink, hello kitty, or Craig oriented, sometimes more than one. She was quite when he was doing his little focusing act but then a thought came to mind* Are there sewer system in LA? I mean I guess no if its all below sea level. OK then what at death? People who have near death expeinces talk about dark tunnels?

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 2:02:13 AM)
*He shook his head* Faint... the only thing potent right now is I *think* you and your entropic magick, but I'm not 100% because I have yet to learn Entropic magick.

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 2:03:52 AM)
There's sewers and water system of course, but... hell, that stuff is all sealed and it's not connected to the river, they can't dump raw sewage into the river. *He thought* Hrm. Dark Tunnels. Shit they dont' even bury their dead below ground down here. What the heck would Dark Tunnels be refering to? Maybe something upriver or on the north shore somehow? Or all the oil pipelines offshore that feed into NORCO?

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 2:05:55 AM)
You've got me? That is really the only thing I could think of. There is no undergroudn subway system here. So unless they are talking death tunnles or tunnel vision...I am out of ideas.

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 2:07:28 AM)
*He rubbed his chin* Dark light, flood the river. If it said dark light flooding the river FROM the twisted tunnels I might thing someone was going to spill crude oil into the river....

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 2:09:13 AM)
Dark could be any color though. Dark red..blood from the massive killing thats going to happen. Yeah...I go dark places.

Craig Killian (Nov 24, 2011 2:10:23 AM)
This too is true. Okay. Bottom line. We do not have all the information we need, we need to dissiminate this and see what we can find out. Find any contacts you can, spread this, let's get some more minds involved. WE have to.

Kaydence Phillips (Nov 24, 2011 2:12:08 AM)
