  2. I think I can make sure the Tablet is available at least once a day. Maybe once every other day. That shouldn't be too hard for it. It'll need a mostly standard time, though. Is eight o'clock in the eve good for everyone? GMT?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Damn, not good for me. I guess I'll just have to watch from the sidelines.

    But thank you for making it available.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I have no problems with it. Thanks for being so considerate.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Query: How can we help you test the recipes? Do you need us to bring proxies to you?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Mister Crowley, please. You have to help me. Help me figure out how to save Stella...I'd do anything to bring her back...

    ReplyDelete
  7. ...I know how you feel. I do. Even...There's just some things that...Don't belong. The best you can do is remember her. I'm sorry. I am. But there's just...If I knew a way, if I knew anyone who knew, if I knew anyone who MIGHT know or says they know, I'd be more than willing, I'd be on it in an instant - but so would everyone else. Why cure cancer when we can cure the dead?

    If you get caught up in the past, you'll get caught up, as they say, in a tree.

    If the world's wars were fought only by dead soldiers, would it be a better place?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I could help with test subjects...

    ReplyDelete
  9. Eight o clock will be quite sufficient, doctor. We can get plenty done during that time.

    On another note...I've worked out my next course of action. The money you wired will certainly make a good start, and I should be able to convince my parents to come with me, just in case.

    Suffice it to say you can cross off Fmorga soon.

    The slings and...arrows...of outrageous fortune...are also great...and would...suffice...

    ReplyDelete
  11. From...?

    Sorry, Amelia. Don't remember any mention of that. Unless that's Fmorga's whole thing?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Damn, I missed the whole second part of what I wanted to say. That sounds poetic, Amelia. What's it mean?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Amelia19:38

    I think...I know enough...of hate...to take arms against...a sea of...troubles...

    ReplyDelete
  14. That said, it wasn't much that I missed, but it was the more important bit.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Right....I'll start trying to locate one of those entities that are considered benign or benevolent.

    Thank you for your kind words, Mister Crowley. They haven't fallen on deaf ears.

    I just am as stubborn as a jackass at times.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Poems. They're poems.

    ReplyDelete
  17. ...More or less.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Amelia19:57

    Some say the...world...will have shuffled...off this mortal...coil...some say...in that sleep of...death what...dreams may...come...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Tablet's up. Ask away. It'll need new input, though.

    Should last for about an hour.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Amelia20:31

    I hold with...those who...give us pause...there's the respect...

    ReplyDelete
  21. An hour of activity, mind. So don't feel rushed.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Request:
    Instructions on locating/contacting nearest benign or benevolent entity to the general eastern coast area.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Input accepted. Response: Eastern coast of what?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Amelia20:47

    Flesh is heir...to leaves no...step had...trodden...black...

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  35. The quotes are getting more obscure...

    Query: Are you and Amelia playing a game or are you communicating in a way that only you two understand?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Input accepted. Response: The Reintegration Tablet is simply responding to input.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Query: How do you know with what to respond?
    Query: Why are you responding in quotes from various things?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Input accepted. Response: The Reintegration Tablet is a computer.

    Input accepted. Response: That is the proper response.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Query: Why is it the proper response?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Input accepted. Response: There is no reason for it to be the proper response other than it is the proper response.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Statement: Sometimes I hate how evasive you are, buddy.

    Query: Why did you think that the proper response to 'This was a triumph' was 'Well here we are again'?




    -------------
    New Mission: Do not accept this mission.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Input accepted. Response: If you do not like that response, another possible response would be "I have changed, I have changed."

    ReplyDelete
  43. No. That is even worse.

    You damn tease you.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Input: Grunge hamster, be grown up
    Lobster of revenge, bring it along

    ReplyDelete
  45. Input accepted. Response: Ride on shooting star, I keep on singing.

    ReplyDelete

    Query: When the input is a line or two from a song, why do you respond with a line or two from a different, but related song?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Input accepted. Response: It is the proper response.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Amelia22:36

    ReplyDelete
  50. Tablet's down again. Probably will be able to get it up again tomorrow.

    ...Something's wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  51. So, Amelia was generally quoting The Road Not Taken and the Tablet was generally quoting Shakespeare. Both have a few exceptions.

    And damn, I had one more question, but I guess that will have to wait.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I seem to never be on while the tablet is working.
    Next time please ask it for information about the arc and the ark.

  53. Amelia22:58

    It's...here...

    ReplyDelete
  54. Amelia23:02

    The...It's here...

    ReplyDelete
  55. Something is indeed wrong. Something is very, very wrong. Is it - who here is good with, ah..."perception filters"?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Perception filters? What, is the Tablet turning invisible?

    ReplyDelete
  57. No, not quite. It's - I don't know, really. But something's wrong and I can't tell what it is.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Well, describe what's happening. Why (besides its weird behavior) do you think something is wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  59. It's spouting Shakespeare.

    ReplyDelete
  60. And not responding to almost anything.

    ReplyDelete
  61. That's it? What do perception filters have to do with that?
    Are its replies being altered or something along those lines?
    -----------------
    Should have mentioned the non -responding part first.
    Still don't understand why perception filters are relevant


    What IS is responding to?

    ReplyDelete
  62. I doubt that it's actually spouting Shakespeare. I think there's something behind the words.

    It's responding to Robert Frost.

    ReplyDelete
  63. So that's basically what I noted earlier.
    Amelia must be behind this, or related to it somehow.
    How?
    What does it mean?
    DAMN.

    ReplyDelete
  64. That's what I'm asking, lad.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I realize that, old man.
    It was rhetorical. Supposed to help me think. Didn't help much.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I don't see you coming up with anything.

    Ok, post the last 5 things it has said. (unless those five things were what it posted here.)

    ReplyDelete
  67. Crowley ol' chap are you still there?

    ReplyDelete
  68. Mm...sorry. Here we go:

    "The dread of something after death,"
    "Their currents turn awry,"
    "Then it started like a guilty thing,"
    "Passing through nature to eternity,"
    "Foul deeds will rise, though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's eyes,"

    A lot from Hamlet. All that is, anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  69. See if you can get it to analyze those lines.

    I'm gonna try to look for patterns and such.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Fun fact: for my last 2 posts I got a server error, then when I refreshed, my post was up. I hadn't even typed a captcha.

    ReplyDelete
  71. It won't respond! Unless Robert Frost has a poem called, "Analyze Shakespeare quotes," I think we're out of luck here.

    That said, it is still working on the cure(s). The relevant equipment is working and its screen is showing progress.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Will it respond to mixes of Frost's quotes? Like part of a sentence is one quote, and another part is a second quote?

    Also, will it respond to his quotes that were not in his writings?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Perhaps. I haven't tried yet.

    No; only lines from his poems.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I see.

    Wow, its times like these that I wish I'd read more poetry.

    ReplyDelete
  75. It's something to do with the attack. Not that I don't like Shakespeare.

    ...But it's stopped for now. I'll see if I can get it stable by tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  76. This makes absolutely no sense.

    Good luck with getting it stable...

    ReplyDelete
  77. Crowley. Any chance you can get it back in here?

    I mean, I DID just finish some english classes. I can probably drudge up some poems we could use to get some meaning from this wretched thing.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I can't guarantee anything for more than an hour, but...maybe...if I...yes. I think so. But I won't be available during the time.

    ReplyDelete
  79. An hour will be plenty.

    Just got to weed out the good poems from the bad.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Alright, let's see what we got here...

    Input: One of my wishes is that those dark trees

    Let's see what this gives us.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Input accepted. Response: His canon gains self-slaughter! O God! God!

    ReplyDelete
  82. It give us more Hamlet. So unexpected.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Well, if we consider canon to mean member of the clergy, then I think he's saying one of His Indoctrinated is in for a nasty surprise.

    Hell if I know; I think the original line was actually AGAINST self-slaughter.

    Next up. Input: So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze

    ReplyDelete
  84. Input accepted. Response: Frailty, thy name is Hercules!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Now on that one I don't have a damn thing.

    Input: Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today

    ReplyDelete
  86. Input accepted. Response: Murder most plentiful.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Now this is just freaky.

    Input: Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white

    ReplyDelete
  88. Input accepted. Response: Beggar that I am, I would drown the stage with tears.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Input: To which it is reserved for God above

    ReplyDelete
  91. Devil=Slendy?

    Captain Obvious!

    ReplyDelete
  92. Thank you, Tron. Thank you so much.

    Input: And try if we cannot feel forsaken.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Input accepted. Response: When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I expected it'd be overheated at this point...it's cold as ice. As dry ice? So cold it hurts to touch.

    It's over for now. I can't keep it up any longer. Again; I'll do my best to get it up tomorrow. 8 p.m., GMT.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Fucking A.

    Well, this was a productive night.

    ReplyDelete
  96. We found out the Tablet could function at low temperatures. That's productive...

    Also, seriously, the hell? Why did it freeze? Any dementors nearby?

    ReplyDelete
  97. For when it is available again:

    Input: The woods are lovely, dark and deep / but I have promises to keep/ and miles to go before I sleep / and miles to go before I sleep

    ReplyDelete
  98. Input: Bottles were dropped on Monday, May 9th, 2011 at 6:16am Atlantic time. Messages to Leviathan, Scylla and Charybdis have been delievered or are on the way to their recipients.

    Statement: After being up for 36+ hours I'm going to bed. G'Night.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Input: A dented spider like a snow drop white
    On a white Heal-all, holding up a moth
    Like a white piece of lifeless satin cloth -
    Saw ever curious eye so strange a sight?

    ReplyDelete
  100. Alright...let's get this up. I'll re-enter your poems.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Input accepted. Response: But I have that within which passeth slow / A fault to Heaven so fast they follow / But Hercules himself could not know such woe / 'Tis as easy to lie as it is to overthrow

    ReplyDelete
  102. Input accepted. Response: You would play on me; you would seem to know my stops; you would pluck out the heart of my mystery; you would sound me from my lowest note to the heart of my strength.
