Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board SHAKES 4 - Now Open

Next Thursday at the Beacon. I'm looking forward to it.

Goodnight, milady!

[bows again]

Until next week...

[disappears]

a bountiful bouquet of pink roses and baby's breath is delivered to SHAKES.

On the card it says:

To: Babette

May these flowers complement your incomparably radiant beauty. I "click" in anticipation of our date this Thursday!

'L'

<appears from Security Office >

<approaches bar>

Barkeep...is Babette here? I need to speak to her on an urgent Security matter...

She's not here?

<takes something from pocket>

This is my card, Troy...

<hands it to him>

...if she presses this button, I will be notified immediately. Please tell her to contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.

<turns>

Maybe I'll have better luck at the Rookery...

pop

Thanks Mr. Lard. I'll see that she gets it.

Anyone want a drink?

Oh Babs, someone came in and gave me this for you.

Oh my, this seems serious. I can't say what it's about, but it does seem serious. Maybe I'll press this little button...

<appears>

Oh...hello!

I need to speak to you about acertain robot whose acquaintance you've recently made. Do you know who I'm talking about?

Yes

Can you tell me about him and your interaction with him?

It was divine. He's shy in a charming way. Strong in a vulnerable way. And he looks damn fine in a SHAKES silver thong. You should try one.

Er, okay...

...did he come to see you strictly for social purposes? Or did he mention any...problems...he'd been having?

I don't recall any problems. He certainly got his avatar straightened out. I;d say Clive-bot's very well adjusted. He doesn't involve me in his intrigue.

'Clive-bot'? <scratches chin> Is that what he's calling himself now?

Anyhow, my sources say he was concerned with some "outside intelligence" trying to infiltrate his mind and that that was the original purpose of him seeking you out...

..is that untrue?

Ah, you must seek out Vee. To get to the bottom of this, he must consult with two almost impossible to reach former LegionWorlders. Semi and Stu. Try Congress. They may be of some help.

You seem...evasive in your answers, Babette.

This is a matter of utmost Security! 'Clive' is out there somewhere with Rockhopper Lad and the Royal Inquisitor--one of the most dangerous men on Legion World!

Do I have to take you in to the Security Office for questioning--or will you be more forthcoming and answer my questions?

Phrase your questions in an answerable fashion and maybe you'll get what you seek. Don't blame me for your intellectual inadequacies. Maybe if you had sent Clive in your stead, you'd have better results.

Excuse me, I have to pee... (Just an expression .. Semi never installed the elimination protocol.)

<taps foot>

Women! Artificial or otherwise...

I don't know what to make of her!

Does she even care about 'Clive' at all?

I can see in her eyes that he's said something to her. She doesn't know it, but the robot was programmed and magicked to essentially be a reincarnation of my dead brother.

And if 'Clive' has my brother's particular flaws, and something's trying to use him...the consequences could be disastrous!

<continues tapping foot>

God, women take forever!

Oh, I stopped to talk to pseudo-invertebrate near the plasma dispenser. As for me caring about Clive - I give you a research assignment - go back through the archives and see if I've ever paid anyone as much attention as Clive. Don't tamper with him. I'll know!

{reads Babette's interactive brochure (seen in "Guess Who?"}

254.3 years just to get to frickin' first base with her?

YEESH!

<Babette comes back>

Look, if you care about him--great! I care about him, too! He's...like a brother to me.

I think he's in trouble, Babette. If you care about him...help me!

<looks at alert on wristwatch>

Crap! More zombies?

We'll have to continue this later, Babette!

pop

Well, good thing that when it comes to having a drink, I can stop into SHAKES and not be subject to continuity and all that stuff.

I think I'll have a nice scotch, Babette (or Troy). I'd actually prefer if you picked it out for me. Something else else single malt, aged. Semi always had the best taste in Scotch, martinis and everything else and I usually would let him pick my drinks out for me.

Drinks anyone? Cobie, I think you might like a 16 year old Lagavulin. It's an Islay scotch with the trademark smokiness and very smooth. You may want to wear a smoking jacket and cravat while you sip this one.

Semi! I've heard so much about you, and I'm not sure we've ever formally met--I'm Lardy!

Hopefully, my reputation hasn't preceded me!

Anyhow, hit me with whatever you think's best--and have one yourself, why dontcha?
