James shoots Splint with a tranquilizer gun, peircing the skin!
Splint feels woozy!
Splint has been knocked out!
Sleep tight, Splint.  Being well-rested is necessary to maintain focus, lest you you make a mistake like leaving a door open mid-seige.

P.S. No, I won't be injecting you with various mysterious chemicals while you're asleep on behalf of Mr Frog.  I cooked them up myself and just need a guinea pig test subject to find out what they do. (No reason to let him have a monopoly on mad science here after all)

[Splint]

I just woke up to be honest, and it's 3:20 am. Hence, sideways fucked sleeping schedule.

Welcome aboard buddy.

Seems a few people are capitalizing on the whole interdimensional aspect of this narrative. Congratz Mr Frog! You started a very creepy fucking fad among researchers!

Personal Log: Draconik Sankis
Head of Bio-Weapons Division Parasol Corp.

Entry 1:
I have prepared this series of logs for my upcoming travel to "Spearbreakers" a few of the corporations agents are already embedded and should make my tasks easier in the long run as my tasks as well as my... Condition will make even some basic tasks... difficult to say the least.  They have also informed me of a few possible hinderences present at this "mountain-home" my tasks will have me either avoiding or preferablely Neutralizing these pests.
Here is the Following list of... Hinderences, in order of importance.
1: Mr Frog: a Fellow scientist and traveller but member of our Rival, Ballpoint Inc, although this fact alone merits his...downfall, I will prefer a means of Non-Fatal and only Semi-Permantant damage.  Although I do not except the same as him, however prehapes he can be of... use in development of a stronger toxin to deal with this... Condition.
2:Fischer: One of the keystones in Spearbreakers military even being able to do practially anything to HS-2 subjects and if case studies i conduct in field prove true HS-X subjects as well.  Fischer will only be allowed countined function while I stay at this "Bastion" afterwords and after collection of DNA sampling subject shall be premently dealt with [Side Note: Excellent test canidate for Mutagen research if agents are trustworthy.]
3: Splint: Although the Title of "Overseer" passes down from Year to Bloody Year Splint has been Identified as the true "Leader" of Spearbreakers and thus falls along side Fischer in the need to be eliminated after my departure.  Although Method shall differ greatly, with aid from subject four.
4:Talvi: Agents have reported the breakdown of Mental processes of the First "Overseer" and how she believes herself to be a "Cavy".  Given her "Friendship" with Mr Frog goes DNA-Tampering is not out of the question and could have possible Neuro-Toxin benifits, Subject 3 shall be the ..he hehe "Cavy" haha to such formulas.  Subject four however shall be evacuated along with myself for... Future testing.
5: Mitch: Extermination required due to tampering with my agents and our well-oiled machine called "Hospital" hehe.  Also required because of all the Overseers he acutally inceased effectivness 315.64% Fortress wide... DNA Sampling for Middle Management clones is strongly Reconmended.
And As a Reminder to Myself, in case of needing to activate clones here are my tasks.  Once again in Order of Importance.
1: Aquire HS-2 Dwarf Sample.  Difficultly Level: None : Spearbreakers HOUSES serveral former dwarves turned into HS-2 or even better HS-X.
2: Aquire Proof and Sample of HS-X. DL: Hard to estamate given level of information gathered and availble at OMEGA-Level Clearances.
3: Gather Temporal Stablitality information of Spearbreakers: With Mr Frog's presscess we must know how much temporal traffic passes through Spearbreakers, Where it passes through and most importantly WHO.
4: Gather Genetics Data on Residents: Most likely the dullest part but maybe Mr Frog has spiced up these... primatives.
5: Evacuation Protolcol - 13-718-666-Delta9 Subvarient Echo-13 aside from that company standard.  [Higher ups recondmend due to temporal tampering a 37-gigaton Nuclear device... i'm prefering something smaller than that sledgehammer though just AS deadly... if not more so.

Draconik Stood from his Personal Moble Work-Station and nearly doubled over in a coughing fit, as it passed he poured a thick clotting red substance from a nearby crystal decaunter into a blood stained golden goblet before downing the contents of the goblet in one mighty glup, his laboured breathing eased as his red eyes stared at the painting of his forebearer, "Damn this Armok given curse on our noble line" He muttered as he readjusted the red spectales and rising to his full height of a dwarf and three quarters, he double checked his gear packed away the MWS, triple checked his gear and lugging the stuffed pack, headed for the Temporal gateway.  Now all he needed was to slip into Spearbreakers and keep a low profile... as low as one His size could anyway.

Bit on the Too Long side but Hey what can a Enlighted possibly Infected Scientist Do
*Evil Grin*

[Splint]

Excellent Draconik. If we get more migrants (at this point I have very low hopes since we only got one this summer) I'll give you the date, so he can arrive by blending in with the immigrants.

[Draconik_Sankis]

Thanks although at the size of a regular dwarf with 3/4s of one I don't hold much hope of blending in
Will Find it Funny if he bumps into Mr Frog at the Fortress entry through [Parasol logo on the overcoat and all]
Also noting Spearbreakers now has members of Every Corporation within its walls, I can only picture what the results of Task #3 will be.

I'm thinking somewhere between Temporal Fetal position or time-flux paradox suicide

[Splint]

This is a masterful engraving of Temporal Stability and megacorps in shale. The temporal stability is in the fetal position. The megacorps are stringing menacing poses. The Temporal Stability is crying.

[soulslicerjames]

[Hint Think Parasol is a "Good Corp?"]

Does ANY side in this world qualify as good? 

By the way, I think it must be said that in the story (not the actual fortress, the tale of the world as a whole)I rectified the fact that the Spearbreakers tvtropes page lists the spawn as "Demoted to extra."

[Draconik_Sankis]

Acutally going through the story there are two forces of good for the fortress
one is Mitch
and the second is

The Spawn which that in and of itself makes Sanity curl up next to reality and they cry each-other to sleep.  This Fortress just happens to throw time in with them then applies literal clown-cars worth of !!FUN!!

[Splint]

Th spawn pretty much did get demoted to extras because they seem pitifully underpowered when facing Fischer and mnore often than not we use them to kill other ivaders before rewarding them with pikes to the chest.

I wouldn't call either of those good morally so much as serving their own sides.

I did say that it was for the tale of Everoc as whole as opposed to just Spearbreakers, did I not?  They may have found themselves de-fanged when against Fischer, but that is only a minor concern when poised to overwhelm all civilizations in the land.

[Mr Frog]

I'm sure you all were expecting an update today, but I had another late night last night and so was too tired to do anything edit-y other than stare at the screen and go 'buuuuuh'. Unfortnately, I apparently wasn't too tired to go into a strange mood and program a fully-functional word processor (in BASIC!) (oh, and it was a secretive mood, just for posterity), so I guess I'll be sleep-deprived tomorrow as well. And it looks like I now have multiple big ol' walls o' text to traverse, too, so I'll be busy with that :V

So, uh, sorry if I mildly-disappointed anyone. I'll just be over here fiddling with my word processor...

[Splint]

Ok, just saying again. Everoc is not the whole world, but one area of it (for our purposes the eastern hemisphere's main continnent.) The place we are, is not connected to Everoc aside from sharing the same boulder whipping through space.

This is where the spawn are from originally for our purposes. Ignor the map. I chose to make use of this as several things considered canon, such as the journal of kith, have effectivly placed Boatmurdered, and by extenstion many other of the greats in Everoc, as the dwarves of the setting are largly based upon those of Dwarf Fortress.

Here's the journal of Kith, for the curious who've not read it.

But then that's the interpretation i chose to make use of for this. Also, once again, Spearbreakers isn't intended to be some last bastion of hope or whatever as some of you seemed to think it In-character. It's a dingey, horrible, moss covered military installation that uses mugs as currency that was established by Monarchial order as a training facility and gathering point for this particular dwarven nation's army.

The Conversation skids along the ground on its head, shattering the skull and tearing the brain!
The Conversation has been struck down!
Fun with colors. If you can read this, you just suddenly realized there may be hidden messages in ALL my posts. Good luck finding them all.

Nah, I think everyone's just busy with other things at the moment.

Also, I started counting the various journal entries and stories. There's over a hundred. Each at least a paragraph or two long, some as long as ten-fifteen pages. We've literally got enough fluff going in Talvieno's post to write a damn book.

Yep, I was offline at the time.
Also, thanks to the above comment, I compiled all our fanfic work into a mighty Text Document of Doom so I could get a good word count on it with http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/countwords.shtml.
As of now, Spearbreakers fanfic contains a total of 120382 words.
This is roughly equivalent to 1.2 full-length novels.

Welcome to the chaos, Draconik! Glad to have you here, really enjoyed your story post. I'll get it up on the front page as soon as I can. And yeah, I'd figured Parasol was kind of evil, but not quite like that. lol

Ok, just saying again. Everoc is not the whole world, but one area of it (for our purposes the eastern hemisphere's main continnent.) The place we are, is not connected to Everoc aside from sharing the same boulder whipping through space.

I didn't quite get that until now, sorry. But this boulder whipping through space... Is it named? In science fiction, it's common for the planet to share the name as the largest continent... 

And most importantly:

I'm sure you all were expecting an update today, but ... uh, sorry ...

Nooooooooooo!!! Life just isn't worth living anymore!!! 
(seriously though, I've had the programming distraction problem, too. too often. No biggie, just glad you had fun with it.)
