Maybe I'm a bit weird, maybe I'm just an idiot... But, when I read
this passage out of T:UCAS, I got freaked. :]

If you have some weird affixia or something about reading about 3
comments before you have the book, don't read anything else in
this post, k?


[...yapping about bugs]

"> You cannot know. It is exchanging cold and hunger and pain for
warmth, contentment and comfort. It is trading helplessness for
power, despair for hope, loneliness for a family and a home. We
need each other far more than any of you are willing to admit.
Why struggle against your destiny? It will come out the same in
the end.

closed down and we're going some checking, but it doesn't look like
we're going to get anything. Whether it was an insect shaman,
a possessed person or something else making the posting, I can't
even begin to guess, so watch your virtual tails out there.

Actually, in the games here, it went a bit farther. The group found an
Otaku-Bug (a bit extreme, but really evil/cool). The Otaku have a -REALLY-
high willpower usually, and excellent mental stats. Plus, the bugs were
trying to get something that could directly matrix for them.

Turned weird, but "Omen" (the NPC) is still out there.
