Captain's log, 32-28-32.8, the StarChip Enterboing was on it's way to a rendezvous point in the Denise star system. We were scheduled to meet the StarChip RSN Procrastination. This is the fourth time we've tried to meet Procrastination, but so far, they have yet to show up. (we hear a short burst of musical notes over the intercom, sounding much like an atonal passage from Slayer's "Angel of Death") Ensign Che : Captain, we're getting a number of distress calls about an outbreak of some "virus" or something. . . Satan : I'll be right up. (Two stagehands open the elevator door, and a determined Satan stumbles into the bridge taking his seat.) Science officer Glasya : Sir, we're getting word that this virus has infected and has either destroyed or seriously messed up numerous disks out in the Pirate Community. Satan : Damn, were are my drugs when I need 'em? Che : Alotta compliants are coming from AEland sir, virus talk is clogging systems around the known universe. Lieutenant Mogul : A transmission sir, coming from the StarChip Digital Gang. Announcer : A fuzzy, broken picture appears on the screen, we see the sullen face of the much repected and feared Admiral Ackfart, his eyes are distant and glassy. Piles of disks lie scattered around him. The picture breaks up as it fades in and out. Admiral Ackfart seems distraught, perhaps delirious. He looks up into the camera, shakes two handfuls of floppies towards it. Ackfart : [the image breaks up, scratch, garble] Disks! all my [garble, snap] destroyed! [crackle, pop] murder the Fucken poser! [garble, snap] Fear, trembling among... [snap, bleep] "your Apple has a virus, HA ! HA ! HA ! your... " [fade, pop, scratch] HA ! HA ! [garble] ... get me a IIc. Satan : The man's obviously suffering from delirium Deth : [crackle, snap] ... black leather and chains ... [fade, flicker] ... Sex, drugs, and ... shit? ... [pop, grech] ... vote for The Misfits... (Enterboing looses the signal) Satan : Now we know he needs our help. . . Mogul : This stuff sounds worse than EAs copy protection, wheeeew! Announcer : Being true to his 4096 colors, Lord Satan blits the EnterBoing around, and goes into hi-res mode. Satan : Ensign, set course for the BAADG Star System. If anyone can figure this stuff out, they can. We must make this a universe of Safe Sectors. Announcer : Che grabs his mouse and selects the new "preferences" of Workbench 666.666 Hitting a couple of wrong buttons on his 27 button mouse, a strange message appears in the menu bar saying "Eat me, nonconformist pig!" Glasya : Sir, more messages about the virus, coming in. Apparently there are several different varieties from "harmless" ones on up to deliberately malicious ones which can cause serious destruction in this and neighboring dimensions. Satan : And I thought that the Apple race had evolved beyond this sort of thing. What sort of wanker would do this! Announcer : The EnterBoing sailed on towards the unknown, while all around the Apple Universe users cowered in terror, wondering if their copy of that great new screen-hack "OingBoingWoingZoing" will be >>>The One<<<. At last, EnterBoing reaches the borders of the Infected Zone, and goes into orbit around the small puce-colored planet Foo. The crew beams down to a hideous sight. Smoke pours fourth from special effects generators, turning the sun blood-red. Burned out buildings line the streets, while people wander aimlessly clutching stacks of their beloved disks just cleaned of all those nasty byte thingies. Everywhere people mumble things like "click click click" or "formatting, verifying, formatting". The crew stepped over piles of rubble (joysticks, cp/m emulators, Andy Warhol issues of Suck Me, little red unicycles) in the street. Bonfires burned openly. Babies cried as their mothers comforted them softly humming songs from "Master of Puppets". A seven year old comes up to Glasya, tears streaming down his round little cheeks... K-Rad Kid : Please mister (he pleads in a calculatedly pitiful tone) you got a good copy of Marble madness? Puleeeezzze??? I haven't found the "secret level" yet... Announcer : The crew was touched and angered by the expressions of pure hopelessness. The sight of that young boy, EORed into their collective cortexes. Late that nite, Satan was in his study lost in thought... Satan : Hmmm, now leseee-----I guess we'll "enter the city". Gee, after 4 years of this and with 533,979 hit-points you'd think that I'd find Mangar by now. Announcer : Leaning back in his chair, he props his feet up on the table, ready for a relaxing evening, when suddenly----- (cymbal_crash=ON) on his screen appears : "HA HA HA! a virus is in your DOS 3.3! Formatting disk..." Satan's face bleaches white, then turns red as the purest form of anger grips him. The only noise in the room is "click click click-Formatting, Verifying, Formatting...". From deep inside the captains throat comes a sound quite unlike anything we've ever heard before. Louder than the mating call of the Altarian Megadonkey, louder than Steve Jobs being fired, even louder then a thousand Timex Sinclair owners saying why they don't "need" multi-tasking. "formatting, click, click, click (heh heh heh)..." Glasya looks up from the book she's reading ("The Beastess Speaks")... Glasya : What the hell was that? Che : It sounded like the voice of someone who just reformatted their Bard's Tale character disk. Mogul : How do you know that? Che : Just look at page 10 of the script, fuck-head. Announcer : Lord Satan bursts into the crew quarters, kicks aside the piles of dirty laundry, Nibble subscription notices, stolen software registration forms, growling... Satan : Let's get these worthless mortals! NOW! Announcer : The crew roll out of their cots, and rush up to the bridge. Glasya immediately sets to access the EnterBoing's database for a search of possible culprits. Glasya : Dammit! Where's the dongle! Che : What? Glasya : That thing you're playing with. Che : Oh, heh, sorry. Thought it was a mouseport protector. Announcer : Plugging in the dongle, Glasya checks references from vandalism to religious worship, from Democratic presidential candidates to leprosy to BCPL. Anything that might offer a lead. Glasya : Wait, wait a minute here. Under the heading of "Religious hackers from the East" it sez that "the great Lord Jesus, is a smug and flatulent fellow, proud of his own cleverness. In order to demonstrate just how clever he really is, Jesus likes to play 'pranks' on computer users across the galaxy. By having his servants, a form of 'mental eunuchs' create software 'viruses'. These have little more utility than to create terror, discord and all around nastiness in the user community by systematically trashing disk after disk. 'Can't a guy have a little fun, huh?' Gronk remarked once after one of his viruses was mistaken for a simple-minded operating system. Later called 'ProDOS', it almost single-handedly set back the cause of personnel computing by 1200 years. Another one of his efforts unleashed upon the early IBM users caused otherwise perfectly healthy disk drives to constantly repeat his name when running : 'jesus saves, jesus saves, jesus saves'. Yeoman Impaylor : Let's crucify this dude! Announcer : The EnterBoing gracefully swings around and sweeps off into the great unknown to meet their greatest enemy yet. After the commercial for some "feminine hygiene" gunk, nose drops, and "Chocolate Covered Sugar Bombs" Fortified Breakfast Cereal-Breakfast of Geeks, StarChip EnterBoing settles around a dark and foreboding planet. Mogul : I can feel the goodness, the..., the... Che : Holiness Mogul : Thanks. Holiness, the... Che : Churlishness. Mogul : Yeah! Churlishness. The mental... Che : Putrescence? Mogul : no Che : Pournellelishness? Mogul : That's it! Announcer : On their viewer, the planet loomed mightily before them. Glasya : Like wow man, look at that planet looming mightily before us. Announcer : Looking much like an avocado with a bad case of acne. Glasya : Yeah, or an orange with hemorrhoids. Che : Captain, were getting a transmission from the SlimeLord Announcer : On the screen appears the most hideous creature ever seen or imagined. Looking much like an ugly geek wearing a wreath of thorns, or that...that K-Rad Kid!1!!!@!!!!1@1!!2! Jesus' skin, if it could be called that, hangs loose on his twisted frame. Open black sores ooze something to gross to even mention to this bunch. His head resembling a shriveled Mickey-Mouse balloon, is indicative of his overall intelligence. On the wall behind Jesus are the 3 most virulent letters in the Apple universe (second only to that "I" term) : "GOD", the Goddamn Orifice Destructors. Jesus : Alien StarChip, Youse Guys want some software, yes? Real cheap, I gotz me Fairy Tale, WordPerfect, AppleWorks. I'ya got it all. Ahl the newest warezzz. Satan : Not on your life Jesus, you ugly dude, you. We don't want any of your swill. Che : But sir, he's got AppleWorks. Can't we make an exception? Satan : What? And break the "Prime Destructive"? Che : But siiiiiir, it's AppleWorks!1!@11!! Che: Owww... Jesus : Well, Satan, wanna deal? Satan : Yeah, were going to deal with you alright. Announcer : The crew donn special isolation garments: black shiny jackets bearing the EnterBoing's emblem on the back, a bloody pentacle superimposed upon a goat's head. Check those pupils. The demonic crew shimmer away in a blazing explosion of special effects. and reappear in a bunch of twisty little mazes looking all alike. Stuff crawls down the walls, their feet stick to the floor as if they were in a cheap theater. Through a port, they catch the sight of a small band of GOD mutants busily working away dreaming up new viruses, or cracking Tass Times in Tonetown, Deathlord, and Star Blazer. Above them hangs the sign "Why use software, when it's not RELIGIOUS!". The crew slinks up to the doorway, Phazers drawn. Cracker : Ha Ha! Hey Lou, check out this new virus. After 4 boots, it writes a Micro-Prose copy protection scheme to their harddisk. Satan : (whispers) Those vipers! Ok, Set phazers to "Inferno". GO! Announcer : They dive into the room. Crackers turn around, terror showing in their beady eyes and flaccid faces. Squealing like baby pigs they scatter in every direction. Sweeping the room with their destructo-phazers, the crew hits everything with a monitor systematically violating all possible warranties. Paula chips writhe in agony, gasping for bits but finding none. CRTs split open, spilling their load of pixels onto the floor like so much sand. Thrilling, action-packed editing makes this a scene much too intense for words. And as quickly as it began, it was over. The crackers huddled silently in their respective piles of oozing flesh. Liquified computers litter the room. Glasya : Gee, that was fun, letz do this again sometime. Announcer : Satan grasps the only surviving cracker by his soft pliable throat. Holding him up he stares into his little twitching face... Glasya : Thatta-boy Satan, you hold-him and I'll sector edit him. Satan : Where is Jesus? Cracker : At the end of the hall, through the sliding doors that stagehands must open to make look automatic. Announcer : The crew makes their way down the hall, stopping now and then to shake stuff off their feet. As then approach the door labeled "His Jesusness, 1.0-Danger! 1 Million Ohms", 2 overpaid stagehands yank it apart. Jesus is playing with a legal copy of Bard's Tale, and doesn't notice his guests. Satan sees that he has just found Mangar. A brilliant 16 color non-interlaced beam pierces through the stuffy air, striking the system squarely in RastPort. Jesus: What the Heaven? (he jumps back from the smoldering rubble) Who are you! Che : We're the Legions of the Damned, here to mop up the Universe of your ilk. Mogul : Snappy dialogue Che! Mogul : Owww... Jesus : Oh, ok. But first, do I get a final requestor? Satan : Well, ok, what do you want. Jesus : Just what is the "Video Toaster". Satan : Only the GnuTekians know for sure. Glasya, ready? Glasya : 'natch. Ok extra-halfbright breath, stand back! Announcer : Glasya blasts the piles of legal software, and stacks of new virus disks which were being readied for Beta test. Jesus looks in horror. Satan : Jesus, you are under arrest, for Software Fundamentalism. ============================================================================== Satan : Captain's log, 3.14159, following the arrest of His Holiness Jesus, we reformatted the planet in an effort to make it useful to more destructive races. Meanwhile Jesus is now serving time in "computer hell", joining many others who violated rules of nonconformism, foulness and The Satanic Way (such as the guys responsible for cancelling the Wilton/North Report, the break-up of Possessed and Venom, and the continued existance of Back In Control). Jesus was sentenced to a lifetime hard labor: developing a Real-time parallel processing OS in Basic, on an 2k Timex Sinclair. Announcer : Afterwards, the crew had one other stop to make, back to the planet Foo. They beam down to check up on the reconstruction efforts as well as to deliver some new Deth Disks, (numbers 6.11571x10E6 to 7.23551x10E6). Hundreds of eager hands reach out for software nourishment, not to mention the latest Bathory video. Meanwhile Glasya approaches a familiar young boy and hands him a new Marble-Madness. The kid's face brightens up... K-Rad Kid : Geeee, thanks d00d!!11!@1!1! Wow. Say, you wouldn't happen to have "Return to Atlantis", would you??!111!!21@!!" Glasya : Nope, sorry kid, we may be able to work wonders, but not miracles. K-Rad Kid : Well, then, uh, what about AppleWorks???!?!1!!@! Glasya : That'll teach the little bastard. #define PARODY_BIT OFF ============================================================================== NOTE: No offense Admiral Ackbar (or other Digital Gang-ites).
