DigiGeist Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Could someone PLEASE tell me why I feel the need to stick my nose in other people's business? Namely sniffing around a local CoMA group in Minneapolis?Not only did I get shot up pretty bad IN PUBLIC, 4 bystanders got hit too. All because I was investigating them for the local FBI branch.Now not only did I once again experience the pain of ejecting bullets from my body, now I gotta move. FAST. Not to mention the FBI dropped me like a damn bad habit. I guess they didn't want the publicity of me bing somewhere where some civilians got grinded.I'm currently lining myself up along I-94 to I-90 to get to Chicago. Bigger city, and a cadre of Novas.Any suggestions on cheap room and board in the Windy City while I get my head about me again?And fuck, gunshot wounds to the lungs hurt as all hell.

Tarot Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Are you considered 'good' at what you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel404 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Stop by the base. The location is published on our Opsite. I'm sure we can find you somewhere to stay while you recoup.I think that Minneapolis is inside of our 'jurisdiction' (I'm not entirely sure that term applies to us...), so a CoMA shooting is something we'll have to deal with anyway.

DigiGeist Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Heh. Never thought I'd get tied up with you guys.Your jurisdiction stretches to the Twin Cities in Minnesota? Wow. Talk about Great-Lakes Avengers.All jokes aside, when do you guys want meet up? I actually wouldn't mind something to do that's more than being the local spook.And thanks for the offer of help. Consider your lifeline grabbed.And Tarot, I used to think I was good at what I do... right now, I can't do anything right at the moment. call it a string of bad luck. We all have them.And you know something, I think I'll like Chicago more anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violette 'V' D'Aronique Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Is it just me, or is everybody having violent episodes with the CoMA lately? Sheesh! It's like suddenly they aren't even working in secrecy any longer. What is this, node-hunting season or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarot Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 V, take it from me. People see what they look to see. Ever notice that one violent group suddenly grows in size beyond the pool of people that its supposedly supported by? People that never saw the inside of a church are suddenly CoMA activists.Digigeist, I get pointed ears, hard to kill, Private Investigators license parts. Cool. Now what is it that you actually spend your life doing that you use to think you were good at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Well my episode wasn't so much with CoMA, but more with the morons chasing me at first. That's been taken care of. So has the issues with my former father and mother, but I still wouldn't really give that one credit to CoMA, just my past family instead. To be completely honest though, I could have been a member since both my parents are, that could have be what happened to cause the initial conflict with the ones chasing me anyway.

DigiGeist Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Tarot, I reply with this. It's a matter of national security. I cannot answer your question.Violette, I came to them. Got my nose where it didn't belong, and got screwed for the transgression. I simply hit the hornet's nest with a stick. My error there.Apmed, you got a complex little web that's been weaved for ya. You're too young to get tangeled up in it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarot Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 What you use to think you were good at is a matter of national security? Suddenly it doesn't seem so surprising you get shot. A lot.Got ego? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiGeist Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 I was being sarcastic. I wasn't in the mood to answer your question because you sounded like yo wanted to rub it in my face that not only I failed at what I was doing, but that I got people that weren't involved hurt and killed.You can see why I'm sore about this now. I'm supposed to be a consumate proffesional. I showed I was a no-talent hack.You happy now, Tarot? Or perhaps I should wear a sign that reads "MISERABLE FAILURE"?

DigiGeist Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 You're right on that account I guess, Totem. It's just how I screwed up that hurts. Physically and Mentally.I sould have been dead there, Totem. Yet I'm walking and some people just trying to live their lives didn't.If there was any ego, it's long since deflated.Not like I'm gonna shoot myself for it either. I've just been in a funk for several months, and this fiasco didn't help.Perhaps hanging out in Chi-town and getting into it alongside the Chicago boys might help improve the karma a bit.

BlackStar Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 You see, us people that have "interesting lives", fail eventually. The trick, and I think you know it already, is to get going. It is made more difficult if innocents die in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Talking about failure, everything I was trying to get done regarding CoMA has failed. I've spent a great deal of money tracking their paper trails, and then nothing. It just goes dead. I was close to the end I know it. But I'm not going to worry about that now, I'll continue to fight them as they come, it's too disapointing to lose as I recently have. My Contract with Dynatech has just been bought off for undisclosed reasons making me a free agent. I'm heading back for the states soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiGeist Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Long, I feel ya.In any case, I'm just gonna pull myself up by the bootstraps. There seems to be alot of opportunities here in Chicago, so I'm going to explore new territiory as it were.Can't mope forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarot Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 If its the ego comment you're kvetching about Digigeist then maybe you should look in a mirror. "What I do is a matter of national security." Oh. Well that explains everything. My point is this. You don't seem to be good at what you're doing, so maybe what you're doing isn't what you're good at. Conduit has a point you know. Your action should be introducing positive energy into the universe. What isn't positive is negative and karma follows that too.I disagreed with you Totem. That's not the same as antagonizing someone. Unless they can't tolerate disagreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I just got back into the states, figure I'll try life in Chicago like everyone else it seems. Heh it can't be any worse than L.A.

Preston Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 DigiGeist, when a legal agency ask you to do something outside the law, you should say NO! The law exists for a reason and you should have known that.From a forensics standpoint, my instincts tell me you were set up with the precise motivation of pushing you away from somewhere (Minneapolis), or toward something (say, Chicago).No one seriously tried to kill you (CoMA is surprisingly well-informed about certain novas and their capabilities and weaknesses). Unless you really are a complete incompetant, it sounds to me that someone in the Churh got a last minute (anonymous) phone call to expect an imminent attack by a nova. The question would be "Why?".

DigiGeist Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Preston, you have a point. Thanks alot, now I won't sleep tonight.Tarot, same thing. You have a point. But why didn't you just spit it out before pissing me off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarot Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 That's a pretty good point Jager. Wish I'd thought of it.Try being a little more subtle than a hammer Digigeist. And if that doesn't work you still might want to re-consider your fashion statements. Dressing in the manner of a male prostitute can't be helping the karma. Might not be hurting, but it can't helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel404 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I don't know, Digi. I rather enjoy being Q. I'm the one that everyone relies on to get them out of that seemingly impossible jam, with a well placed 'toy'.I've got more on my back burner right now then I ever had before. I need to be three steps ahead of everyone, because otherwise, by the time I've finished something, the need for it is past.Oh, and if you want to field test something, stop by my lab. I've got a few gizmos that I can't really try out by myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigiGeist Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Alchemist: You're on. Lemmy: So very true. Bond ain't shit to us Novas. Then again, I was in the back of the line when the Nodes were handed out, so I got the oddball shit. Thing is, for the brains I got, I really don't feel the need to be Mr. Wizard or some stuff like that. But, I can understand what he's saying at least. The only thing that gives me some comfort is that what you do in the real Lemmy, I can do in the digital. Erase bank accounts, erase identities, hell, I could make it where you don't exist yet you're 6 feet up on the competition in the graveyard. (In other words, to the rest of the world, you're dead.)Other brainiacs just don't get it. Stop bashing other people over their heads with what they don't know. They'll either catch on or not.I...
