Walker Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yes. I am afraid I'm back. To those that don't remember me I'm the weird Nova that used to hang out on this board about a year ago, take people onto visits into space, speak with animals and plants, make cryptic comments about what I had or hadn't seen in the future/past and generally be a pain towards all right thinking individuals.I've been in hiding for the last year because I was a bit naughty with regard to some Utopia science and technology regulation or something, apparently I also violated some nuclear technology proliferation treaty as well. At least that's what I think triggered S&T or whoever they were. It could have been anyone of a number of things really. I'm that sort of Nova. Like to play a bit fast and lose but wouldn't hurt a fly at the end of the day.Being able to see what's likely to happen in the future means that usually I can get away with a lot. But then again you can't keep looking into the future all the time, you'd have no time to act in the present, catches you out sometimes.It's not so much that the heat is off now, it's just that I've learned to work around it. It's still there and due to come down in about 90 seconds judging by the tingling on my neck so I'll be brief.Lemmy, sorry for missing the party, heard it was corking.Sakurako, of all people I probably owe you an explanation, it'll be forthcoming, trust me.

kestrel404 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hm. Sounds familiar. I'm no good in a fight, but I've just gotten out of a similar scrape. Need a hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 This scrape is gonna continue unless I leave this planet for good which is an option with me but it's lonely out there. Thanks for the offer but certain Novas have been more than helpful in aiding me, in ways I wouldn't have imagined possible. Your concern for a fellow member of the one race is appreciated though. If you tried to help me you might get busted for aiding a wanted criminal. I don't think there's any 'official' warrant for my arrest as such. I think they wanted to have me quietly disappear, in which they almost succeeded. Which would probably make it even more risky for you to try and help.All they've managed to do is make it difficult for me to make long posts coz I'm hopping all over the show logging on in different ways and means to the Opnet. I can 'see' the future and warp all over the place so as long as I keep my guard up they can't really DO anything to me. I thought long and hard about coming back here but seeing as how they want me to come quietly I've decided to do the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel404 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 As I said, your experiences are very similar to my own. Though I can't 'hop around' the way you can, I have my own methods of evasion.I couldn't stand up and fight the powers that wanted me silenced (or whatever they wanted from me...I never did find that out). I ended up getting legal help, and just making myself a very loud and visible pain in the rear...hopefully too loud and visible to be quietly disposed of.That's my bit of advice, anyway. If you're up for it, just say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Well, I have to say I missed you. I have so much to ask you, but now is not the time. I will offer you shealter from all your trubles, at least the ones I can help with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurako Hino Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 S&T? Bloody hell.Look, Walker, just stay frosty and step carefully for now. If the pieces can be moved right, you should get some breathing room. I just don't know who to set foreward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 What's the deal with everybody getting chased by "the man." At least they're off my back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Amped, Utopia's S&T keep us genius types down. They may have their reasons, but to me they're more like the Spanish Inquisition than anything else.Anything that even remotely smells dangerous, they swoop in on you like a hawk in twilight. You never see it coming, but you sure as hell know what you got hit by.I don't like them, I will never like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menagerie Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I haven't had many problems with the S and T...though I would never refer to myself as one of the "genius" types. I just do a fair amount of research that sometimes concerns them.I whole-heartedly respect what they do and why.(That said, I hope they read that and know that I "meant every word that I said". My only major complaint would be their definition of the word "weapon." I feel like they took away my ballpoint pen before take-off. Of course this was years ago. I'm guessing they've become more "cut-throat in some manner?)oh and Walker, I take it you're a member of the League?...or "were" a member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 James: Would I be in this situation if it were The most annoying thing about precognition is that some assume you know more than you actually do.Signy: I'm touched, but if I wanted shelter I could find it. Right know shelter is the last thing on my mind. Hiding or seeking help is NOT what this is about. You can ask whatever you want, whether I can give you any answers, or any answers that you'd like is another matter.Joker: Thank you 'tis good to have enough space and time to be back Amped: Sad but true, us Nova's represent a colossal threat to Baselines. Step outa line and they come down on you like the proverbial ton of bricks. It's not that we are that destructive, though some of us are, I think the threat to them lies in that we attack their place as supreme being by our very nature. Besides this place seems to attract mavericks.Menagerie: I respect the aim. I merely took it upon myself to be morally responsible for looking after the details of the use of this technology. In the end I feel that I was merely being pre-emptive or over visionary. Sometimes things should happen in due course.Alchemist: Your kind suggestion is similar but not identical to my own thoughts on this matter. I'm not really given to superstion but ...Wanna know a really funny thing? This technology was named by it's inventor and shared the same name as you. Makes me take seriously what someone recently said to me, Synchronicity is the glue that binds the cosmos together. What-ever, I take it as a that the first person to offer advice shared a similar idea and a fortuitous name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Oh yeah and I was a member of the League but I shamelessly abused my position so probably deserved everything I got. Still at least The League didn't get any come back from me being a bit keen to change things and shake things up.Power corrupts and all that, and the first thing that goes is the judgement.

Matryoshka Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Well, let's just say this. A offer of a gift is sometimes the intention,and not the gift itself.But I would like to talk to you about how space feels, about how the "nothing-ness" feels. I want to know so much, as I have much work to do,and knowing what you know may help me with saving what I hold dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Yes I would agree with you Signy the offering of the gift is the important part. Although some consider it to be rude to turn down a gift of help I have turned down the many generous offers of help given here. Not out of ego, not out of meanness, or not wanting to be in others debt. BUT the mere fact that people offered to help, THAT was the gift in itself. I except that whole heartedly.On the concept of nothingness if you're tainted up you can find nothingness in the hearts of Baselines pure and simple. More scientifically space isn't really empty, even the hard vaccum of space contains a few hydrogen atoms per cubic metre. If you've got weird senses like me then you're bound to pick up the electromagnetic sight of the stars in infrared-visible-ultraviolet and a whole wealth of sensory input. So for me it doesn't really feel empty. I have felt emptyness in space but part of that was only coz I was stupid and arrogant enough to get myself stranded.
