Subject: Some IC I ran up against...
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1993 21:49:25 -0400
Hey, I ran up against some funny lookin' IC in my last run, and was
wondering if anyone could help me out with it. I have reason to believe
that it was posted to frp.cyber some time ago.

The IC was a short guy, sitting around. When I went into his node, all of a
sudden there were six of them. I destroyed one of them, and then there were
42 of them and the node shut down.

If anyone has any info on this, I'm curious as to what I was shut down by :)
