>>>>>[Well, the editor just died after removin a record number a Frags and
Dreks and Son-Of-A-Slitches in excess of 500. I'v outdone maself this time.
Well, hope this helps.

Kaneda and the XLV had dropped off Nige, AJ, Roxey, Nex, and Hellblast out
on the Eisenhower Parkin garage and taken off again and nite was beginnin to
fall. Well, the PSU radar towers(in the Watertower, Old Main bell tower, and
Eisenhower Auditorium) failed to pick up the Condor Recon drones and the Raven
Glider commadin them drones, so we really had no clue that we was about to get
nailed by the fraggin UCAS Army. And who leaked that I was affiliated with
them is gonna get turned into a fraggin slab o'meat! Well, Radar picked up on
the FB Eagles comin in at Mach 2 instants before they streaked over the campus.
And then the watchtowers in the rebuilt Pattee Librairy tower caught signs of
ground troops pullin through the streets a U.P. in armored personelle carriers
and a coupl'a Ferrarri Light Scout Vehicles(LSVs).

Well, PSU is well known nowadays for its curriculum that emphasizes practical
applications of all that is learned, but what is little known is that PSU also
has an "underground" school that teaches every student to be more than just an
engineer or philosopher, but also a drek dangerous bodyguard. Ya see, PSU
has every student takin at least 3 semesters a Self Defense and at least 2 of
personal weapon combat(knives, clubs) and every student must take a firearms
class every semester. Magical undergrads emphasize heavily on either illusion,
combat, protection, or whatever. You get the idea. Needless to say, PSU grads
are not EVER what they seem. And neither is PSU.

PSU is an armed camp. The Great Wall, built originally to keep the State
College resids out a campus, is now an 8m tall plastisteel covered Titanium
cored monofiliment topped and alarmed barrier that could stop a 18 wheeler
goin 100 dead without damagin the fence. And PSU is also cored out underneath,
with underground tunnels(called the Soo-Tees, or PSU Tunnels) that can get
everyone from one buildin to another without ever walkin outside or leavin a
fraggin near hermetically sealed environment. And that ain't includin the
bunkers and armories... I'm sure you get the general idea.

So the students just up and disappeared as the Army rolled up ta the gates and
had the fraggin audacity to DEMAND entrance! Well, they were refused and ended
up bouncin their APCs off the gates. They were NOT thrilled and just started
shellin the gatehouse(autocannon-the hovertanks hadn't gotten in yet) till
they got in and moved up The Mall, tearin up the magically grown and very
beautiful elms in the process.

Well, Nige was takin off from the Forum right about now, and the sons-a-slitchestried to
shoot his sorry ass down, to no avail. Seems his ECCM was up an
runnin and them AAMs decided that the Music Buildin was a more attractive
target. Well, I don't blame the drekhead, but he just pulled up and out an
headed out away from PSU. He was SEVERLY outgunned just by them Eagles, never
mind what showed up later. But he took down a single Condor as he ran drek intothe gasbag
and tore it ta shreads with his rotors. Didn't do nothin to that
chopper a his. Good thing too. Glad to see he was away.

Well, that's bout when the ground fightin started, tween the PSU Sec. forces andthe Army.
PSU lost. Bad. Sorry guys, but ya shoulda known that bikes and
small armed hovercraft wasn't gonna get to them armored mil spec boys. Didn't
even come close. But when they made the mistake of puttin a hovertank shell
or 12 inta the Old Main belltower and inta the Pattee Foyer, PSU got a little
fraggin unhappy. Bout this time the shootin really got started.

First thing that pops up is bout 20-30 permenently bonded elementals. Musta
been dropped there by alumni(grin)... And then battle was joined. Well, there
was enough a them elemental types ta keep the Army busy-till the fraggin Eagles
came back. Bout this time I was in Baby and powerin her up...

Drek! Just realized how long this bugger was gettin... Guess the Sensory drek
will get put up next post...(frag...drek....bitch....gripe...)]<<<<<
