No.....
if I wanted to make you all cry, I'd inform you all what you face in Chapter Three.......................
No, I just decided I needed to RE-EMPHASIZE how commonplace the HDD is, and how everyone's immense and sudden fear, even after what happened, of it would be......well...obscene.

Oh, and because I'm paranoid. I am calling it now.
That weird benevolent light that gave Al his powers? Totally the Glitch.
Why do I think this?
Because it's what I would do.

Not the Glitch. The light is something else.. maybe one of the first things that defeated the Glitch.

I should note that, while Albert does have the power to 'Fusion' into Thog, he has another form.

I'll just let that stew for now.

We're not skipping ahead six months
The first part of the post takes place six months in the past, the second part, the news post, is present day (your sunday).

Information, for you players....
Page Industries (AKA Page Enterprises Inc)
Your characters will have NO Memory of there ever being a Page Industries (exclusion here is Angela). Infact, up until your return, there never was such a business.
Upon your return, Page Industries is a multinational, multi-field corporation (similar to Wayne Enterprises) with holdings in nearly every country across the world, and little to no pie thier fingers aren't in. Electronic records go back for the company no more than ten years, while physical records if you manage to get access, go back for twenty. Page Industries have been in the news and in everyone else's memories for at least the past five years.
Angela, on the other hand, knows of Page Industries, but not in it's current form. The lawfirm she works for, had her on the Page Industries Account. So she was aware such a firm exsisted, though she wouldn't know for how long. The company forced her to sign a airtight NDA which prohibits her from talking about the company to outsiders, or the work she does for it.
Robert Page's image is plastered on the news, industry magizines, and even the Global Network sites as a pioneer in early every industry, though it seems it stays out of only one thing, the Entertainment Industry. No movie studios,TV stations, radio, game studios, Page Industries owns none of this, though they do make start of the art, affordable HDD's......
Page, for all appearences, is a trillionaire many times over, and is one of the most charitable men on the planet, giving literally million to various charities, building high quality low income housing, etc.
How could such a man come to exsist in your world, but only after you return from the Digital Universe?

Not just no
Not hell no
Not even hell fucking no can fit this situation.....

You just picked up a old friend, gone had sex with him, told him EVERYTHING about what occured during your weekend....and he fucking beleives it?

YOUR characters have trouble beleive it fucking happened, and your going to confide everything, and the person is going to accept it without question? Your fucking nuts for beleiving that.
Your lucky I don't have the fucking house collapse ontop of both your NPC and your charactr and kill them fucking both.
I'm tired of this shit. straighten your characters out, or YOUR out of the god damn game. Period.
End of fucking story.

Didnt have sex with him. This has not occured. Jesus fucking christ. If sex occurs you will know it, because there will be the putting on of boots captain kirk style (or somesuch) and chances are, it will not even occur.
As for the rest of it. Fine. I will remove those bits and rework them.

CT: I don't care about the sex part...we discussed that prior to your posting any of this. I don't care if he fucked the NPC's brains out or they were on the way to doing it.
The part that pissed me off, was your character telling your NPC the entire kit and kaboodle of his weekend, and your character accepting it without question! I don't care how trustworthy your character is, you telling someone outside your group you just got sucked into a game, spent a week running around, risking your life, and trying not to die, and their going to look at you damn strange. You know, like your fucking nuts.
I give my players ALOT of liberty in their actions, but come the fuck on. You didn't push the envelope, your ignored it and went right on through to the other side. This is not a everyday happening, this is out of the fucking far side of left field, something any right thinking person would think you had just escaped from, or should be put in the looney bin over spouting that.
My largst complaint, is you didn't fucking THINK. You did this same thing with the holodeck, and I let it slide on a stipulation that it was the lowest fucking setting conceivably possible in difficulty to let you do that. That doesn't happen anymore.
This next part is for everyone, but I am directing it at you:
Oh, and for your getting defensive on the GM? Cut it the fuck out. If I'm wrong, I'm more than willing for it to be pointed out...but when I tell you something, or even point out a outragesly stupid move on your part, the only thing I want to hear is "I'm sorry" and that you'll fix it. I am the GM, I am the High God within this game, my final word is it.
If anyone has a problem with it, let me know now so I can write you out of the storyline. I don't have a problem with it.

I didn't know runabouts were that big! I thought they were just large shuttles, not the Captain's Gig.

There was a episode of TNG which gave us a better idea of the size of Runabouts than the DS9 episodes did. It was a Season 6 episode called Timescapes, the one with the fractures region of space-time cause of the Warbird. Had Picard, Troi, Data and LaForge on a runabout heading back to the Enterprise from a conference, and the four regularly went into the rear of the runabout, and they showed at the very least, the dining hall type setting.
Going by the Daystrom Institute Technical Library's dimensions for the ship (their usually trustworthy I've found on Trek shipsizes....) we get this for a Runabout
Danube Class Runabout dimensions :
Length : 23.1m (75.7874 feet)
Beam : 14m (45.93176 feet)
Height : 5.4m (17 feet - this is their guestimate)
Decks : 1
Since it does have a evac limit of approx 40 men...the Danube Class runabouts are pretty damn sizable...
I mean, 75 feet of ship is plenty to put a few rooms in besides the engine section and the control section, it's as large as some single or doublewide mobile homes.

..... Yes. It *is* as big as a singlewide trailer. Bigger, actually, by five feet long/wide than the trailer I grew up in (70x40). That one had 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, livingroom/kitchen.

Reminder to people....
Deus Ex is, by now, a 50 year old game....lost to the mists of time, or the small Retro gaming community.
So right now, the only two who have a clue or link between Page and the Gray Death, or even about who Bob Page is, and that's Charon and Nitram's characters.
