Wakinyan Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 CoMA has seemed to grow in power, influence and support lately? Or so it seems anyway. Last year I thought they tried to take me out because I was in their backyard but now I am not so sure. More attacks are occuring everyday. Including thatattack that just happened in chicago (Anyone know who it was? News said unidentified Nova.) was somehow linked to CoMA. I would think this was just a response to Ibiza but it seems like it has been growing before that. I evern heard rumors that there is a Muslim equivilant of the church in the Middle East. I think we need to take a serious look at this folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singularity Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I haven't seen anything like this, but I don't exactly live in a place where they show up.Do you think some other party is controlling these kinds of groups? Or are you thinking they've been left alone too long and now they're growing out of control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakinyan Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Either, both? I have also considered it might be this place. Maybe they are using this board to pick their targets but I have no proof other than just being paranoid. You and Regan live on an island but still be aware. I would like Preston's input on this as well. I think it is important enough that the law should be at least made aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandcaster Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Ah, yes, good old CoMA. In the last year, they stepped up protests outside the school where I used to teach at least five-fold. I was informed by a sympathetic member of the board later that the protests were one of the factors in my dismissal, despite the earlier public statements by the board of support in the face of the CoMA protestors. I almost can't blame the board on that; it was getting to the point where the students were having to push their way through CoMA pickets to get to the front doors toward the end of things.These guys make the kids of the late Fred Phelps look almost benign by comparison.

Preston Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 They are getting more organized.They are getting more funding.They are getting more aggressive.Primarily they are targeting younger novas a good deal more than they once were. They have begun to realize that as novas age, the odds increase that we are immune, or nearly so, to their mundane efforts.The Directive, most national police agencies, and Interpol have become aware of this growing threat primarily based upon CoMA-related groups attempting to illegally obtain military grade hardware on an unprecedented scale, up to and including a low-yield nuclear device.There is also some intelligence that leads me to believe that CoMA has been reaching out to other extremist and fundamentalist groups so as to share training, information, and black market goods.As the latest attack in Chicago indicates (my theory only), they are also starting to use novas to commit crimes against other novas.As for the cause of this latest upswing; I trace it back to the clash at Bahrain between Divis Mal and Caestus Pax. When Pax went crashing down, people otherwise neutral on the nova issue suddenly became very, very afraid.The question being asked, and the fear being fed upon, is this:If Project Utopia can not keep rogue novas in line then what is baseline humanity to do?The answer put forth by a small, but growing minority is that they would rather prune us before we rise to a position were we can hurt them.I personally do not care about what flavor of madness and cruelty these Michaelites ascribe to. They have broken the social contract and they are going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeslip Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Personally, I'm of the opinion that CoMA has been let be for far too long. One would have hoped that their activities would bring enough scorn from the rest of the baselines to effectively squelch them, but that would require baselines to be something other than resentful of us.CoMA is a disease. It should be eliminated -- by surgery, if necessary -- with all due haste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakinyan Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Despite my urge to take matters into my own paws I am not going to. For now at any rate. Those who wronged me before know that if they do so again they will reap the whirlwind. If they are ready for the Rapture they know where to find me.

z-Carver Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Actually folks, that Nova was me. I'm not sure I can give out details yet - the Knights have asked me not to talk to the press yet, which is fine with me - but I can confirm that CoMA was involved.And yes, I'm doing much better - the doctors say I can leave the hospital Monday morning.

The ones that Use novas tend to care more about human life and are trying to solve this problem as if novas are the problem themselves. These means to likely hood of nova death is greater. On the other hand the ones who use baseline means tend to cause more damage to those around the target and often will hit people who are close to novas. They want to upset novas enough to make the nova mess up. They will often go out of their way to make sure the nova lives.If anyone wishes a crash coarse in counter terrorism,I have the next six month off of any major engagements.

Bahamut810 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 You know what? I had a good amount of text about this. About how killing then would only bring more into their fold, but I realised something.It would fall on deaf ears. So I just deleted the entire thing. I just hope that if you decide to go through with something like this, the rest of us don't pay for your short sightedness. Especially when the COMA steps up their nova-killing spree in retaliation.

Access Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 From the trend I've noticed, there has been a recent outbreak in anti-CoMA crimes within the past few weeks.

Jager Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Very true, Bandwidth. Untouchable novas like Edward are pretty immune, so it will fall to the guilt-less, as well as the defense-less, to pay for the crimes of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splitmind Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Something to look forward to when I get back to the States. As if I didn't get enough "Get off of my property" stares from front porches while passing through Utah last time. Not that I think it likely I'll personally be in much danger from them, but the last thing I need is to end up in a situation where even minor self-defense becomes necessary.Wish I could blame this one on the aliens. Sadly, CoMA is human nature, through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I stirred them up a while back by daring to become friends with one of their members, so I'm not worried about pissing them off anymore.

Tommy Tomorrow Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I haven't noticed problems to this degree. Yes there are those that watch or stare. After Ibiza, and Chicago to a lesser degree, I don't really blame them. When you consider that, at the lowest end of spectrum, there are novas walking around with an entire spy store catelog tucked away in their skulls it's not hard to imagine the people around them wondering when not if they're going to use those abilities and for what ends. At the mid-range of the spectrum there are those that can literally look at someone and kill them. That can be a very sobering thought for the average person. Then there are those who are capable of changing things around you in ways that nature couldn't do without invoking the fiery rage of a volcano or a fury of a tsunami.I don't see people around plotting to kill me or my family. I see people being cautious and sometimes even a little fearful. That's the legacy of Ibiza and it'll be with us for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
