Reconnaisance Mission

A brief action council meeting at the beginning of the Yamana weighed the appropriate action for this current time sequence. ubermarklar Had intended to arrange an UAV sortie at the usually abandoned Competition Zone. magpie Brought it to his attention that meteorological conditions were less than adequate. Atmospheric velocity was beyond danger level for an operation of the type of UAV intended. magpie Then suggested a reconnaissance mission. All recon missions within the Circle State are worth the time and effort, despite the fact that many are dangerous and unpredictable. Thus, with no prescribed coordinates, the HPC was activated and directed along a generally Southerly route.

The first major feature encountered was the Mid-Suji Hydrological Project. The HPC skirted the edge, stopping once for a full visual survey at the highest point. It was decided that the Yamana may be in danger of hydrological disaster if the Dreaded Jishin ever appeared in force, and an on-the-spot policy decision was made to evacuate to higher elevations if ever such an eventuality occurred, since the Mid-Suji Project would have dire results if it were structurally compromised. The HPC was then directed to the upper reaches of the Mid-Suji Project and brought to a halt on the edge of a precipice. ubermarklar And magpie Set out on foot up a steep incline. During this ground mission, they discussed the prevailing memes of the Over State (of which magpie Is an enlightened dismember) and added to the policy database. This database is consistently used and upgraded in the ongoing battle, globewide and chiefless, to extricate and eradicate the entrenched psychostructure of the Over State.

The second major feature was the Clearing, visible from space, yet with unavailable coordinates. ubermarklar And magpie Arrived here as part of the probability sequence, since no coordinates were logged on the reconnaisance mission, thus making available things that could only be found if they weren't being looked for. Here, with a new perspective of the Yamana, the Competition Zone and beyond, the mission reached its apex.

With fresh perspectives on how to fight against Over State's war of tourism, the lies of Paulality, a decision to move operations to Babel State (the puppeteer's maze) for a brief interlude from Circle State, and a resolution to add audio aspects to the resurgence, u And m Returned to the HPC.

Soon after returning to the Yamana, Poverty, the chief liason officer with the upper echelons of UNICOM, arrived for a business meeting. The meeting was joined by Executive Yano, one of the Circle State's substructure operatives. The Neko interfered with his operations. Though apparently an ally, the Neko appears to have its own objectives. A quasi-biological entity of suspected extraterrestrial origin, it requires consant refuelling and waste disposal. Executive Yano was irritated, yet remained calm. magpie Removed the Neko so he could conclude business with Poverty, who was surprised to learn that it was only he who Executive Yano had come to see. ubermarklar was relieved to learn this too, as dealings with Circle State operatives in the past have often been somewhat disorientating.

The meeting was concluded and magpie Left with Poverty to fulfil contractual obligations to UNICOM. ubermarklar posted misleading information on the KaoHon monoverse in keeping with the tradition of this 91st orbital sequence and was pleased to have fooled at least one other operative. Character is Destiny.

Han-Pan-Chan Emergency

The Han-Pan-Chan had its first emergency scramble today. Operational readiness has been carefully maintained after the successful aquisition process. Circle State's system niche has been secured and legitimacy status has been aquired, enabling the HPC to operate on such missions as mentioned below with minimal interference from Circle State's executive arm, The Kaikan.

At 08hoo, magpie alerted ubermarklar to the fact that a logistical discrepancy was arising in the fulfilment of contractual obligations to UNICOM. ubermarklar Was forced to abort a subspace sortie, an Escherian strange loop twist, for this priority mission. The transition to Yamana was difficult given the fact that ubermarklar had not performed the transition under priority imperatives for a significant elapsed time. The HPC was successfully scrambled, with the unusual feature of magpie reaching operational readiness status before ubermarklar.

Once on Circle State's network, the Han-Pan-Chan performed admirably, with ubermarklar having the difficult task of optimizing performance while simultaneously reassuring magpie of the missions viability based on a hastily extrapolated temporal status report. Spatial calibration was challenging given the speed required to recalibrate from subspace. For this mission to succeed, the HPC faced the imperative of intercepting a scheduled linear transport module, critical to the optimal fulfilment of UNICOM stipulations. The expression of magpie's doubt about the mission's viability was necessarily ignored for the sake of optimizing the HPC's performance and the minimization of danger to both the mission and other users of the Circle State's network. Fortunately, congruence was achieved with the Circle State's macro-transistors and unnecessary delays were averted.

magpie Was the first to establish visuals with the linear transport module as it approached the network interchange from within the closest subterranean thoroughfare facility. This alleviated her doubts about the mission's viability and she pinned her hopes on ubermarklar's capacity to complete the mission within the temporal limits she had extrapolated based on this new data. This was achieved with only one glitch, the failure to signal the final manouevre, a stipulation of Circle State's network administrators. Fortunately for the mission, no administrators or their info vectors were present at this juncture and the incident went unreported. The HPC was brought to a controlled halt at the closest possible point in the network interchange and magpie successfully intercepted the module.

Relieved that the mission had been successful, but still not completely recalibrated from subspace operations, ubermarklar directed the HPC to the closest resupply station. Only upon reaching full calibration did he realise that, because of the scramble and the speed of the mission, he was in fact too early for the commencement of Circle State's major operations for the day. It was thus necessary to resupply at the nearest combine node, the Lawson Station. Ubiquitous in the Circle State, the Lawson Station's holographic nature is both a blessing and a curse. Resupply using this facility is almost guaranteed, given the required exchange currency, yet the light required for such panpresent holography is painful to navigate, especially for ubermarklar, who does not possess the genetic optical calibration gifted by the Circle State's lineage to most of its constituents. Despite this difficulty, and the repeated need to decline Lawson Station's offers of spare components (spare components being one of the foundations of the Circle State, yet incongruent with the logic structure of ubermarklar), resupply was successful. The HPC was navigated back to Yamana without incident, the Neko was refuelled, its byproduct disposed of, and the thermo-activated filter device engaged to consolidate the Yamana calibration.

As of this entry, temporalinear obligations to UNICOM are being fulfilled. Deoptimisation has been averted by the scramble mission. Character is Destiny.
