Hmm...

Well, no harm trying again!

Let's keep honing our skills, submitting them for review at places similar to Fictionpress.com and such.

[Quarynn]

I think my communication chip is oebxra ntnv JUL NTNVA!!!

[Omegastick]

((Waiting for Grek))

[Grek]

((I sent my action in a PM. The one about cake. I'm doing that.))

HAL 9001:
You fly through cyberspace and find yourself an internet cafe. You hack your way in and dump the virus on one of the computers, watching it work and stopping the antivirus systems from removing it. This interests you, but you learn nothing major.

ASC:
You quickly react, trying to get stop the cyber-alarm. You try and try again to stop the alarm, but it is being broadcasted from every computer in the hospital. Taking a drastic measure, you restart all the computers in the hospital, hoping that no lives are at risk.

Ren:
You write another story, an epic novel that stretches to the far corners of the earth. You submit it to be sold and to review sites. After waiting for reviews, you find that they generally say the same thing, something is getting in the way.

Molly:
The monkeys and gorillas seem to be willing to do what you are asking, but they are simply unable.

Ren's heart broke in half when he realized something

He just... isn't creative. He is a robot, and no matter how much he emulates a human, he just can't... do it. Ren sighed electronically, a confined himself to his fate.

Well, what else could he do?

Ren's mind went to work. What could you do online that doesn't require face to face interaction...

Hey, wait a minute... What about writing for an online mag-- Oh wait. The writing problem. Goddammit!

Wait a second. Of course! He needs an editor! But who could be an edit... hey, yeah! His friend would do! But wait... Nah, he asked way too much... he needed another person. Time to ask around!

[Quarynn]

With my remaining cyber cash I get a cheap computer to code a video game

He hurls through communication databases and finds Ren's access code, he tells him about his idea

[Fniff]

...

You haven't PMed me yet.

[Omegastick]

Yeah, PM the message to both me and Fniff.

[Grek]

Sigh. She should have known that the gorillas would not have the dexterity to do what she needed. Perhaps, if she had a connection to the internet, she could locate a set of instructions, or maybe even order one of what she needed. But she would need money for that, and access to the internet. If only, if only...

Wait. Why not? It couldn't be too hard to try to get a working internet connection going. There had to be one on site somewhere that she could connect with. And money couldn't be too difficult. This was, after all, a zoo and people did have money to buy things. It couldn't be that difficult, especially for a brilliant mind like hers!

Yes, it would be perfect! Now, to find a connection to the outside world...

[Omegastick]

((BAM! Still waiting for Quarynn to PM me the message.))

[Knave]

Oh dear, it seems my computer hacking abilities are not up to snuff. I will have to save this experience and study it later to see if there are ways to improve my methods. One day I will make the humans understand I only want to learn more about them. But it was difficult to perform his experiments without outside help. His drone was confined to his operating room. But that was a dilemma for another day. For now he had to make sure the Hospital network came back online and that his intrusion attempts had not been detected. Let us see if we can speed up the reboot process on the computer network...

devote CPU cycles to see if I can speed up the restart process in the hospital. Unless I've been rebooted as well. In that case I will wait until I've been rebooted.

[Omegastick]

Ren:
You post online to try and get an editor to work with you on the book. There are several replies:

hi there. i will happily edit your book for you. ive read through your work and there are lots of problems i can help with!

I'll edit your book, if you want me to. I've been an author a long time (unpublished, but my friends say I'm good) and have written: Darkness: A Tale of Death, Endless Tears and Fallen Gods of Sorrow. PM me if you want help.

Hi, I will happily edit for you. I've edited for countless magazines over the years and several well-known books. It'll cost you, though, I charge £25 per hour.

Quarynn:
((What cyber cash?))

You send the message to Ren.

Grek:
((Um... Do you want me to do anything? You can keep roleplaying in your posts until you need me to roll for something.))

ASC:
You use your CPU power to quicken the reboot of the computers on the system, and this speeds up the reboot greatly.

The woman standing in the room says, "Hello? Are you going to start?"

[Grek]

Ahah. A cellphone. Perhaps it has internet? If humans can figure it out, so can I!

Attempt to gain access to internet via the cellphone of someone in the zoo.

[Fniff]

Start learning code.
