>>>>>[ Hmm, Deadheads. Kichanski, do you if Fuchi has made more prototypes
for
project Red Dwarf?]<<<<<
--Lister <13:02:51/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ Not that I know of why?]<<<<<
--Kichanski <13:03:21/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ Well the reports of these metal robots that have been coming
across.]<<<<<
--Lister <13:05:32/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ I don't think that they are Rimmer models, their too large and too
bulky,
and they lack the grace I gave him.]<<<<<
--Kichanski <13:10:43/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ What about large Orks in the Kryton suits?]<<<<<
--Lister <13:15:23/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ I don't think so either, they just don't move like a person in
Cyberarmor. But then again, Fuchi may have changed the plans since we worked
there. They might have gone to to the big and powerful concept instead of the
smaller, swifter and more deadly.]<<<<<
--Kichanski <13:24:17/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ Hmm, too bad the system is offline, we could have Spirit or Cb take
a
look. Hey Highlander!!!!! Have you heard anything new out of Fuchi UK

Anyone out there in Shadowland near England right now? Interested in a job on
Fuchi? Be dangerous.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Hey Claw, when are you going to take this new cat of yours to your
place,
he's taken too sleeping on top of Talky and eating all of CRUSH's to.. I mean
bread, either that or jumpin in bed with us at night.]<<<<<
--Spirit <13:32:34/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ Spirit, its not a CAT, its a panther. And the reason why I left it
with
you is because it is to dangerous for her to be with me at the moment. Also
Shral'thala seems to like both of you. So if you don't mind could you keep the
young one with you for a while?]<<<<<
Claw <13:35:12/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ I thought Panthers were black, not smoky gray with spots.
]<<<<<
--Sharice <13:38:23/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ That Sharice is a large misconception. The English word panther
most
normally is used in certain parts of North America to name Felis Concolour, also
know as Puma, Mountain Lion, Cougar or Panther. It can also be used for the
Asian Leopard, and sometimes used for the Black Phase Leopard or Black Panther.
Does that answer your question. And aren't you supposed to be in class right
now?]<<<<<
--Claw <13:40:43/10-06-54>

>>>>>[ It was boring so I left.]<<<<<
--Sharice

>>>>>[Spirit tell your cousin, since she doesn't seem to listen too me,
that
school is very important and that everyone should go.]<<<<<
--Claw <

>>>>>[ Your no fun anymore Claw.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Kichanski, you a lover of 'small swift and deadly'? You'n'I could
get along. Wait a minute. Fuchi? .Fuchi.?? Fuchi's trying to develop
cyberarmor? Frag! They're the ones with the 1M bounty on any of the
Knights of Harlech. Hmmm....

Thinking of the reports here and elsewhere, I'd have to suspect that
it's either a deadhead or somebody with four cyberlimbs. 'Cool limbs'
but a 'warm torso'.... think about this.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Lover of small swift and deadly, no I'd say he's a lagger guzzling
beer
bellied rigger with a love of machines that are swift and deadly. I just make
the machines, Lister is the one who runs um. Mind you though, just because they
don't look tankish, doesn't mean they can't take a licken. Lister and I make
sure that they are the best they can be when we invent something.

As too Fuchi developing CyberArmor, well they had one working prototype as of
8 months ago called Kryton. Needless to say that they do have it in their
possesion anymore. They still do have some of the older plans. We didn't get
around to putting down half of the stuff we did until a month or two latter.
Normally Lister and myself would just fool with it until it worked then go on to
the next part, hardly and plans. Most of the plans for the cyberarmor was just
reverse engineering onto computer what we had already done. We found it much
easier that way.

Of course now Fuchi is not all that happy with us, but they know that we won't
sell it so they have slashed the price on our head to around .5 mil. Who knows
maybe if I need money I'll turn myself in a collect the reward!!!]<<<<<

far, I am in need of money, and your job fits nicely. I'm a rigger with
military training in the Desert Wars on the north coast of Africa. If you
need it flown, I'm your man. The problem is you're going to have to supply
the vehicles for me. Shouldn't be a problem, if you're as well-stocked as
I have heard...]<<<<<
