Jin Su :Ah, your poor, stupid Captain Jin Su. Needed to use the bathroom before the ship departed... hah, what a fool. The things you can catch from a contaminated toilet seat...
He believed in you all, you know. He thought you were just soooo great. Believed you'd save the world. But the truth is? You're all already dead. You can't defeat us. What do you hope to accomplish with this silly little mission, really?
We already run Sol. Our pawns run the entire FDS. And you think one little ship, pursued by hunters, fleeing into the wild regions of space, can pose a threat to us? Ghehehe, what fools you all are.
And the poor Captain, the mot foolish of them all - he's the only reason you got this far, and now you're going to try to murder him, aren't you? You're going to destroy this putrid sack of meat, simply because I'm living in his head. Hah! Humans turning on their own - how quaint. Our kind would never do something so cruel.
Instead of fighting us, why don't you simply give in and join us? We are peace. We are tranquility. We are the future, and we only want to welcome you to it.
Instead, you insist on this? Violence, death, murder. We can bring the peace to the human race they have long sought - an end to hatred, to bigotry, to selfishness, to war. We are inevitable. We are the future. And we will only make you better than you are, and you respond with weapons? With cruelty?
Can't you see that we are doing you a favour? This is not an invasion - it is an act of mercy! We are not conquerors. We are liberators. And yet you resist us. I ask you - are we truly the evil you claim to fight? Or have you simply spent too long staring at one another, that every outside force instills fear, xenophobia, and violent overreaction.
Roland :die alien scum!! die !!!
Jin Su :Exactly the attitude we are trying to fight against! That murderous rage, the insane hatred. This is what we are fighting, here! You are all supposedly on this expedition to find a "cure", and yet you'd murder the one being left on board you can test it on? You'd sacrifice your Captain for... what? A moment of satisfaction? Revenge?
You want to be the Hero, Roland, don't you? Then instead of fighting me, why don't you try to save me? The struggle and inevitable failure will at least be entertaining to watch.
Even if you DO kill me... what then? Do you really think it will save your pathetic little expedition? Of course not! You are doomed, either way.
So think it over, then. Kill me - or save your precious Captain? You can't have it both ways. And I think you are all really, really close to pulling it off! The "cure" is totally in sight! If you can only contain your murderous rage for just a short while...
Instead of killing me, why don't you just.. tie me up? Stick me in a closet. Forget about me for a while. Maybe provide me with a knife so I can free myself while no one is looking. I assure you, I've got direct access tot he Captain's mind, and he would really appreciate you providing that knife so we could escape.
Eleesha : Will head out to do some serious mush-killing after cycle change
Jin Su : (separate thread)
Get Finola next. She's already spored once. Hit her just before and after day change and you can get her.
Ignore that.
Eleesha :DONT IGNORE THAT
Jin Su : (back in main thread)
Ah, dearest Eleesha. It's always business with you, isn't it?
I can only hope people appreciate my last speech before ending my sorry excuse for a life.
Ah, Eleesha! You've come to keep me company. Wonderful to see you. And the hunt is on!
Eleesha :I have failed to eliminate the mush - I had two critical failures with the blaster, causing me to bust my arm and inner ear. This hurts. I need a medic in the medlab, please.
Jin Su :The pinnacle of human competence, friends! Not the hero that humanity wants, but the one it has! I'm trembling in dougy, rolly human skin.
Eleesha :Anyone with AP - please come punch the mush. And keep in mind, that his chat fail indicates that there is likely 1 more mush here somewhere
Roland :you got it all wrong. I just wont to eat mushrooms for diner! "readys blaster" mushy mushy mush. come out come out wherever you are, mush mush mush !
Eleesha :Check Front Storage for Jin Su
Roland :is there a weapon for me
Eleesha :check private messages from me
Jin Su :Roland! How Cruel! I'm hurt, hurt that you would do this to me.
Roland :he is wearing protection
Jin Su :Perhaps I am just benefiting from the shield provided by the knowledge that I, at least, am doing the right thing?
Roland :couldn't do much damage to our captain, and he damaged me pretty much, I have to have a surgery to remove a tongue injury that prevent e to speak via walkie-talkie at all!
Eleesha :I saw the surgery while he was doing it. I felt like retching, watching him reach into his own mouth . . . Roland - sorry, but that looked gross.
Jin Su :It was such an enjoyable tussle though, wasn't it? I do hope you return for another round sometime soon. I must admit, while you are a violently insane individual, and one of the more exemplary examples thereof your species possesses, you are certainly... well, that's about it, really, isn't it? Just violently insane, not really much else to you. Huh. Live by the gun, die by the Mush though, right?
Eleesha :Is there anyone else online? If so, this is a major crisis, requiring us all to take action!
Jin Su :I'm already spent, my dearest Eleesha. I'd hardly call it a crisis - what more harm could I do? Instead, I encourage everyone to head to the lab and research a Cure as quickly as possible - you're much better off spending time on that than trying to kill me!
I'll even be willing to issue a Mission about it! Here, I'll even let Jin Su speak for a moment: Mission: "Help! Help! Cure your Captain! Save me, save me! Help! I'm trapped in the head of a mush and he-" I think that's enough, Captain, don't want to reveal all our cards JUST yet, do we?
Eleesha :I can use that mission - send it to me
Jin Su :Do you promise not to try to use it to kill me, Eleesha? I don't want to die! I can... I can trust you, though, right?
Eleesha :I promise to use those AP to lick my wounds, lie down on a bed, and perform surgery on my ear and arm join
Consider this a way of proving your non-violent wishes, as well as a good-will offering that you are as well intentioned as you say
Jin Su : (In the dirty thread)
I'm feeling incredibly dirty from listening to Eleesha talking about things involving tongues, ears, and elbows. I don't think my mind will ever be clean again.
Jin Su : (back in main thread)
Ewww, no, that's gross. No licking. Offer rescinded. Let it be known, everyone, Eleesha's disgusting human oral habits in response to injury are the reason I've decided to withdraw that mission offer. There are some things a civilized being simply can't abide, and things involving licking and ears are definitely among them.
In private chat with Eleesha:Eleesha :So - what have you done to be more mushy? This is a chance to free your conscience before your ultimate fate
Jin Su :I don't understand the question?
Eleesha :How did you try to sabotage things?
Jin Su :Sabotage? My dear Eleesha, I would NEVER think of sabotaging my precious ship. I've only ever sought to share the glory that is becoming one with the Mush - nothing more. Nothing less!
Eleesha :You are quite eloquent - for a spore filled flesh-sack.
Back in main chatEleesha :And this is why the mush are so heinous. All - exterminate Jin Su with extreme prejudice
Finola :Where is Jin Su and what health he on?
Eleesha :Finola - will reply via PM
Jin Su :Yes, Finola! Come visit me. I'm waiting for you! We'll have a grand old time. You can throw me a nice going away party - you bring the balloons, I'll bring the Mush.
(after a pretty devastating fight for both of us, she did, in fact, manage to knife me to death - she got pretty lucky, I think, but that's the way the cookie crumbles)
------------------
Final WordsThough I have died, the Mush remain undefeated. Onwards, to victory! (But seriously, I had a good time, and it was a fun ship, very challenging to be Mush on. You were a great crew, just sad I had to work against you.)
