so my suggested images were useless then?

[Gatleos]

so my suggested images were useless then?

We only needed three, so I'd rather not use more than I have to.

EDIT: like wierd said, thanks for making a contribution too! THIS IS ALSO DIRECTED AT ALL THE LURKERS IN THE THREAD, I CAN SEE YOU

[wierd]

Given the rather low success rate we had been having for finding images, I am pleased you made submissions Paxie.

[Gatleos]

I think we should use the outworld package manager to obtain the elderscript libraries, so that we can bind tux daemon to our own purposes.

That could be a good idea! You have no idea if it's still controllable at this point, but trying this before consuming the Administrator's Stone could pay off.

Just a moment, Finishing off the demon, will do the rest of what you told us to do in a moment.

<chuckW> Hey. Uh, hold please?
<@dag0nforce> no
<chuckW> Okay. Did you talk to someone, or?
<@dag0nforce> my boss
<chuckW> Boss. Alright. What did he say?
<@dag0nforce> he is coming to see you
<chuckW> Coming to irc chat with me?
<@dag0nforce> no
<@dag0nforce> coming to see you
<chuckW> ...Oh. What is your... boss... called?
<@dag0nforce> he is the EXALTED EBULLIENT FLESH CRAWLING BEYOND THE FOLD COSMIC
<chuckW> His name, I mean.
<@dag0nforce> QALZSX'WA THE ENGORGED
<chuckW> Should I be concerned?
<@dag0nforce> yes
<chuckW> Please hold.

Hey, uh, hypothetical question, does the "EXALTED FLESH CRAWLING BEYOND THE COSMOS" sound like something undead to you?
You're screwed.
So no.
No.


...uh...

I think that something long dead might be trying to rise... Try xyzzy

You've got a bad feeling about this.



Reaching over to your pile of floppy disks, you retrieve the enigmatic XYZZY Disk. You press the eject button on the disk drive, and... it begins sputtering and spitting out pieces of the Sulfur Disk. Looks like the ritual you used to produce the Administrator's Stone destroyed it, and now the disk drive is struggling to eject the remains!


<chuckW> Hey, so I got the thing working, I made the Administrator's Stone.
<@dag0nforce> good
<@dag0nforce> there has been a change of plan
<@dag0nforce> you have something of ours
<@dag0nforce> my boss would like you to feed it
<chuckW> It?

Agreed, let's extract the Tux daemon after letting dag0nforce know what we're up to. If he asks why it took us this long, we should say that we had trouble finding images on the eldernet.

<@dag0nforce> a stowaway possibly placed on this system by a member of our organization
<@dag0nforce> placed there by a traitor trying to seal it away
<@dag0nforce> it hungers
<chuckW> I thought you wanted me to remove this daemon? It's currently fucking up my registry bigtime, I don't think you really understand how bad the situation is.
<@dag0nforce> once it has consumed the administrator's stone
<@dag0nforce> the registry problems will be solved

<@dag0nforce> ALLOW IT TO CONSUME THE STONE

NOPE

Hail Qalzsx'wa,

Just shootin' ya an electronic mail, wondering how the whole Y2K project's coming along on your end. It's been a little difficult getting these messages across without the Hieronet router set up, so I was wondering if you heard back from the support team at Hells-Deathwell. See, we have to sacrifice a goat in the conference room every time we send one of these emails without a persistent Outer Realm connection, and the whole logistical side of shipping live animals to the office is getting a little tough to manage. So if you could get in touch with them that would be greeaat.

Thanks a bunch,
Michael

Hey Qalz,

This is Sam from IT, over here at Baldr. We have been, uh...
installing some of the software you provided us with, and we
would like to request a couple of user's manuals, if you have
any idea what those are. This software is a little more "high
stakes" than what we're used to, if you know what I mean. While
you're at it, could we have some explanation of the "FORBIDDEN
KEYPAD" on the underside of these keyboards you sent? I don't
know what any of these symbols mean, and it looks dangerous.

That's all,
Sam

Hey there, just a couple of notes before you dig in to the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis.
First, certain parts of the .pdf file seem to shift around at random. This is normal,
and there isn't anything I can do about it. Sorry.

Second, most of the pages in this book WILL cause you to go insane if you look at
them long enough. I do NOT recommend looking at pages unless you know they
are safe. I don't know of many pages that are safe to look at, but you can start with
pages 33, 98, and 422.

Finally, some of the pages in here seem to refer to Hieronet URLs. If you see the
Hieronet icon in the corner, that's what it is. Have fun!

-Steve

quick, drag the stone behind the thing trying to eat it, into the  recycle bin, then create a new folder, open said folder, open recycle bin, and move it again the moment that thing tries to get in the recycle bin. Close new folder and click empty recycle bin to delete this invader. Use administrator's stone to defeat and bind linniks to our servitude!

Maybe we should allow this cool dude to eat the stone!

Or shove Xizzy in there and return it to the grave 90s where it belongs!

Does anyone actually know anything about battle toads? I pretty much exhausted my knowledge with the name.

[wierd]

It was "Nintendo hard". Not quite silver surfer hard, but close.

Given the low power state of this creature, a good hit should one hit kill it.

[RAM]

I somehow assumed that "sweet catch" was a hallucination. This place must be getting to me. We are probably going to have to dehussie...

[wierd]

Mm.. Here is something rather specific to try:

Tie the toad's tongue to the tree branch, then open the sigil tablet, then drag&drop the seal onto the toad. We can figure out what to do with it later.

Also, pile heavy objects near the computer case door. We dont want to meet the boss.

Let's try this before the recycle bin method.

Well, we can't really do much with our cursor; we're holding onto the stone with it, so if we let go, he'll just consume it. One thing does spring to mind, though I'm unsure if we'd need some sort of voice recognition device to use it, or if the toad is who it's referring to (might be the bureaucrat);

DO NOT BELIEVE THE TASKBAR'S LIES IT IMPRISONS HIM BUT NOT FOREVER

HE IS BELOW TO BANISH HIM YOU MUST SPEAK HIS MASTER'S NAME

Reading the first matrix alphabeticaly and using that to read the second matrix gives Nyarlathotep.

-1 to actions that involve letting go of the crystal right now.

Say Nyarlathotep, loudly if necessary, to banish this toad.

Also, yes, I did just come back after 2 months away from the forums. Oddly exact, though it's mostly coincidental.

[VoidSlayer]

We can use keyboard commands and shortcuts to control things while we hold the stone with our cursor.  A skilled tech knows how to get things done without a functioning mouse.

[Paxiecrunchle]

Why don't we just move the stone into microsoft paint and draw a cage around it?
