TM #282 - Cremation or burial? Talk about funeral arrangements.

[nerdherdchuck]

What a depressing idea for a topic. But I guess I'd be buried and have a wake and stuff.

Okay, I'm done talking about this.

[Locked to those who know about his secret life]

I wonder what would happen if I really had to fake my death. It almost happened a couple of times with me nearly being locked in some underground bunker. Obviously, very few people could know what really happened to me. Everyone else would probably be told that I died.

So there would be a fake funeral, I guess. I guess they'd either make up a dummy for my body. Or maybe my death cover story...I dunno what else to call it...would make me die in some sort of explosion so there wouldn't really be a body exactly. Then, well, maybe it would be like a cremation since...well my body kinda would have been burned up.

...

This is getting very morbid and I'm done talking about this scenario too. [/unlocked]

Perhaps that is why you know all the defense moves. It was made with Bryce in mind. However, you are in good shape and young, so it should not be hard for you to keep it up.

So possibly it is a blessing in disguise? *He shrugs.*

I may need to come over this weekend for some fellow geek time.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Well...I really didn't know what I was doing, I was just kinda doing it. But maybe that's just it...I was in good enough shape to keep up with the Intersect's...uh...commands? I dunno what else to call it.

In some strange way, maybe.

Sure! C'mon over. *smiles*

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I am not certain I would like to call it "commands". It makes it sound like you are a slave to it. Maybe "instructions"? Then you can think of it as Yoda in your head. *He laughs* We can code-name it "Yoda" so that if anyone overhears us, they will think we are talking about "Star Wars"!

"How is Yoda today, Chuck?"

"He is a little cranky. He says I do not listen to him."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

In a way, I kinda felt like a puppet when the program went off. I wasn't sure what I was doing but was kinda dragged around.

*laughs* But I like the idea of dubbing it 'Yoda' though. Perfect code name, Hiro.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Like an outside of the body experience? You could not control your body?

We should tell that to Casey and Sarah. That way they do not think we are crazy when we start talking about "Star Wars" in the middle of something serious.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

That's a good idea. They should know about our code phrases. *nods* Then they will know when they need to take action by something we say.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Hiro looks worried.* That is not exactly a good thing. Who knows what Yoda will hijack your body to do next?

Well, perhaps, not all of them. Just the ones dealing with Yoda and things like that.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

No, it's not. I guess we'll just have to find out what exactly this new program does...

Right. Though we don't need as many code words to just talk to each other now that Sarah and Casey know that you know about the Intersect and about them protecting me. Still, it's nice to have a couple of code words of our own.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I do not know any way to test this. I would hardly attack you and we do not know the other things it will do. And walking around Los Angeles hoping you flash on someone is not exactly productive.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

The only think I can think of is talking to my father. Maybe he knows what makes this part of the Intersect work.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Did he not create it? He should know what has been programmed into it.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Exactly. So rather than test it, we should probably try to find him and get some answers.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

That is the best plan. So, where is he?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

That's...just it. He just told me he couldn't follow us so where he is now...is kinda a mystery again.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

We need to find him. To ask him. Perhaps you can ask Sarah or Casey. They may know.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Or if they don't know, maybe they can at least help me try to find him.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Hiro nods.* They have the resources to find him, I am certain.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Though the last time Sarah used them to try to find my dad, she almost got in a lot of trouble.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

You should explain to the people in charge that you need his guidance on the new system. After all, it may be that there are other "surprises" and it would not serve you nor them to have them go off in the middle of a mission and possibly cause a problem.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

*nods* That's true. I just...hope the General understands.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

The General sounds very...controlling.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

She is. She really doesn't respect me all that much either.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

It is most likely because you are not a soldier or an agent. Most military people do not have a use for civilians.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

That could be it. But the odd thing is...she never wanted me to have the Intersect removed either. I kinda thought that was strange...

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Possibly it was convenient for her. You were more controllable then. She probably thought you would never do anything other than what you were told. She must have been very surprised when she found out you were not a meek little robot.
