To be honest, this is a VERY long story. I'll try and get the gist of it down
here though. The party has been hired by someone looking to require their
assets (stolen right out from underneath their snouts no less). Many of these
people we have figured are under the influence of some kind of
Psychotropics/BTL programming setup. As in, "here, play this, it's a good
buzz.....<plays chip>....good, now then, do what I say."

What we are -trying- to do is come up with a "Reverse-BTL" or "Neutralize-
BTL". Something that will at the very least cause a pandemia or euphoric
state in a given subject. We're cooking the program into chips, and then
using them in Dedicated chipsets/simplayers that are sticky, so as to be
quick-slapped onto a subject's forehead, let the program run (hopefully doing
-something- useful) while we continue on the restraining/reclaiming mission.

<time passes>

That was before today.

I am NOT going to go into the details of today, but word of advice. Never
consider Dracoforms of the -bigger than normal nature- weaker in zero-g or low
mana environments....AND the plan wasn't even attempted to be used, at least
not by us. The NPC's who DID manage to get into the mining facility while we
"distracted" the opposition (SCREAM!!!) did apparently have -some- success
with our programming brainstorm.

arrived)
