@Serge - "Well unplug him or something.  Before he turns into a actual zombie."  Maxwell turns and faces Amy saying: "We need to borrow Mango for awhile.  We'll bring him back once we get this all sorted out."  Putting his empty beer down, Maxwell stands at the exit ready to leave.

[All4BigGuns]

Shaking his head, Serge states, "With something that was said earlier, I don't feel comfortable just 'pulling the plug'. It was said that that could cause brain damage, so I would much prefer if there were some way to get him to come back to his body before doing so."

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell crosses his arms and shakes his head in a state of anger.  While now looking at the ground he says aloud: "Well now we play the waiting game."

[All4BigGuns]

"Unfortunately, that's about all we can do at this point," Serge notes, "Unless one of you two want to see if a set of trodes will suffice to go in and convince him to exit. I have to stay out to monitor his condition."

[Mulcarn]

Maxwell clears his throat but it still remains gravelly sounding as he says: "I don't know much about this techno-drek.  So that just leaves Ratzy if he cares to."  Palming around for a cigarette, he pulls one out and lights it.  Maxwell inhales the death stick's foul chemicals and starts playing the quiet game.

Amy smiles at you and say "It seems like you are going to be here for a while... Mango need to get to one of four possible exists to get out of 20 12. Some of our guys are trying to retrieve him - but it is not easy.  The anti virus of this computer is somthing unlike anything we've encountered before. It has him pinned down in a vault and we haven't figured out how to get in... the moment we approach all the zombies are after us. It appears as if the anti virus have already learned our signature. After killing so many of its minions.  "

[All4BigGuns]

Looking at the ganger girl, Serge says, "Hmm...perhaps between my medical knowledge and your technical know-how, we might be able to figure something out to disconnect him from here without causing damage."

[Triskavanski]

"Yeah, I wouldn't pull the plug on him. Every single movie I've ever seen says thats a bad Idea. Unless.. you know, he's the one. Then he might survive. Only way to get him, is probally going into the machine.. Like tron."

[All4BigGuns]

"Do you feel like going in after him?" Serge inquires, "Because, like I pointed out, I need to monitor his condition."

[Triskavanski]

"Not Particularly, unless.." he glances to the others. "Is there anyway for me to record whats going on in there? Or are we going to just have footage of a couple of guys laying around on the floor?"

[All4BigGuns]

"Worry less about recording things and more about getting the job done," Serge retorts, "I don't recall giving leave to record anyway."

[gilga]

@Papa, Pi-Rat tells you  -"You should be able to record everything you sense in there. No worry we thought about Awesomeness when we designed the interface. It is also for safety so we can display what everyone of our agents is seeing. "

[All4BigGuns]

"Once we get him out of there," Serge says, "Perhaps we could work together at some point in the future to make this physiologically safer for the users. This thing is doing a lot of damage to the bodies."

With that, he makes another check of Mango's condition before checking on the conditions of any others 'logged in'.

[spoiler=Medicine roll to check conditions]
Mango: 10d6.hits(5)=4
First Other User: 10d6.hits(5)=1 Well crap, that one didn't go well.
Second Other User: 10d6.hits(5)=3
[/spoiler]

[Triskavanski]

"Oh, so you can display what Mango is seeing then?" he asks.

[gilga]

@Amy say to serge "Oh... so you do not know what the name 20 12 means. It is 20:12, the time where we anticipate for the server to collapse, Tomorrow evening.  A lot of knowledge was lost from the electronic age, you can say that what we have now is more advanced and in many ways it is but we are light years behind in some aspects. Computer security is one of them,  20 12 was one very important server for some government agency of the old USA. It is clearly of military use, we decided to visualize it as zombies - because the neural interface did not exist there, but basically it is the anti virus that is sophisticated enough to understand that we do not belong there and is sending all sorts of signals our way. The technology  to interact with this computer without being in VR is lost - maybe forever. We do not have the right hardware to browse it otherwise.

We are actually trying to learn about the anti virus rather extract some obsolete military data. By the rate that world becomes hostile by 20:12 tomorrow we anticipate that all the data on this computer will be curropted and the anti virus will be all that is left. The anti virus is destroying files so we cannot access them.


@To papa she say, "Yes we can!" and put it on an AR window. Mango seems to be standing on a tall building, barricaded with an assault rife - he is fending a swarm of zombies using a grenade launcher, a couple of roto drones and his assault rifle. Oddly enough he does not sim to run out of bullets due to the guns being just a metaphor for matrix attack actions.

Amy say "He is barricaded on that building for quite some time now, and the zombies seem to get very close now. They will soon start climbing the building. You are his only hope for rescue as it will take the anti virus a while to classify you as hostile, you might just pull off a rescue if he is important to you. We cannot even approach that space right now. "
