The Legend of The Virus - Rewrite X2

Featured Replies

Years ago, the user by the name of barfbag started out in the Varrock Library with his own story known as 'legend of the virus.' When he started slowing down, only a tiny bit, I asked permission if I could type a post contributing to the story. It wasn't bad, and I kept going, until, one day, I got sick of it and exited tip.it.Now I'm back. And I am going to rewrite this. This is for barfbag.

 

 

 

THE LEGEND OF THE VIRUS

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter One - Creation

 

 

 

Washington, D.C

 

 

 

 

 

"And you are willing to pay how much for me to retrieve your account?"

 

 

 

"Five hundred. I've got the cash right in my pocket."

 

 

 

"You are asking me to hack into the Jejex database to retrieve a pathetic gaming account because you forgot the password? This isn't like you Anderson. I thought you took precautions."

 

 

 

"Speaking of precautions, no names. Call me Manquiz."

 

 

 

"Manquiz? Is that some sort of false Colombian name? That's a horrible precaution. You need to brush up on your social studies, kiddo."

 

 

 

My own precautions were too much. The recovery questions I set are impossible to answer. I can't explain to Jejex I forgot the password, the recovery questions, and expect them to give my account back. Will you do it?"

 

 

 

"Certainly, if you will pay more."

 

 

 

"How much?"

 

 

 

"Much more."

 

 

 

"Deal. And I want your word you won't make any mistakes or tip me off to the police. And don't do anything weird either."

 

 

 

"That's what I thought."

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

Karamja Island

 

 

 

 

 

Van was your average player of Runescape. He was about level 61, armed with the warrior essentials, and had a fairly decent archery skill. Like every other warrior, he defeated other warriors, got attacked by warriors, was occasionally helped by other warriors, and even sometimes defeated by other warriors. The one thing that all warriors need is food. Van was on the lookout for lobsters.

 

 

 

Beside him, his fishing buddy coughed to get his attention.

 

 

 

Zerek: Hey man, aren't you ever going to do anything else? I mean, I know you like buying fish from me, but this is ridiculous. No one is insane enough to spend the rest of their life fishing. And I haven't recieved any tips either.

 

 

 

Van grinned. Zerek was easy-going, once you got to know him.

 

 

 

Van: Relax. This is a cyber-world. No one knows who I am and no one will ever figure out that's what I do. No one even knows

 

that Van is my real name in the real world as well. So how much for the one-hundred and twelve lobsters?

 

 

 

Zerek: Persistent and thick-headed as ever. Very well, I shall tell you, because your stubborness is starting to kill me. Your budget will suffer a bit. Two-two-four-o-o.

 

 

 

Van: That doesn't sound right. (grin)

 

 

 

Zerek: Whatever, hand it over...

 

 

 

Before the two friends could finish their transaction, they were disturbed by a rampaging river troll. Van snickered quietly and returned to the transaction. Then he looked again at the river troll.

 

 

 

Karamja was no multi-combat area. Everyone who fished there knew that. Yet here, the river troll was swiping at everybody

 

around itself. Fishermen were abandoning their spots, fleeing the river troll. Anyone who got clubbed by the river troll suffered major damage. Van could see the number 20 floating everywhere around players as the river troll targetted people. The most distinguishing feature of the trroll was that it was glowing red.

 

 

 

Van: Zerek...

 

 

 

Zerek: Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

 

 

 

Van: Yes. Run!

 

 

 

With no hesitation, Zerek dashed off, running like a maniac towards the ship. Van quickly equipped his Runite scimitar and

 

charged for the troll. If he got a kill, he would recieve praises, and maybe he would get another friend.

 

 

 

The river troll roared, and shattered Van's scimitar as he swung down. The force sent him flying back ten meters. When he

 

collected himself, he was left with the handle, the only part left of his scimitar.

 

 

 

The river troll was still roaring, and it chased after Van. Van decided it was time to abandon ship. He equipped his bow, and

 

shot the monster. Obviously, the arrows didn't harm the monster, but they slowed him down. Van fumbled with his runes, and in an instant, he teleported to Varrock.

 

 

 

Where did this river troll come from?

Chapter Two - Report

 

 

 

 

 

Varrock

 

 

 

As far as his knowledge about Runescape went, Gielinor did not have glowing trolls that attacked everything on sight. In the real world, Van shifted himself more comfortably into his chair and started typing messages to all of his friends on his Friend List. None of them were really friends, just traders and potential buyers who might want his food. Nevertheless, he got down to buisness about the glowing troll.

 

 

 

Every response he got was useless. A particularly obnoxious trader who sold cheap tuna mocked him for his stupidity. One buyer told him to check his eyes. Frustated, he accidentely typed it out into the public chat, and someone said he might have an epileptic seizure if he kept playing. Van decided to hit the backstreets of Varrock and see if the more shady players had information.

 

 

 

They were just as useless.

 

 

 

It was obvious to Van that he wouldn't get any info from Runescape. He logged out, and logged in to the tip.it forums. He might get mocked even more, but he didn't care anymore. With a click, he started a new topic:

 

 

 

"- I got attacked by a river troll with a green glow around it. it broke my rune scimmy and i could'nt even hit a 1. Please i need information on how to stop it, where it will be next, and how to fix my scimmy! thx, VAN.- "

 

 

 

 

 

From upstairs, Van heard his mom shouting a bit at her husband. Van grinned a bit as he logged out of tip.it.

 

 

 

 

 

Mom: Van! Dinner time! Get off the computer and do something productive, like setting the table!

 

 

 

Van: Hold on, i'll be there soon!

 

 

 

 

 

Van logged back into Runescape, and headed for the Varrock clothes shop. He didn't have any particular reason for doing so, maybe there was some hidden treasure there. A treasure chest with information maybe.

 

 

 

 

 

Varrock, Clothes Shop, Top Floor

 

 

 

 

 

Sieg: Are you sure you can't get a pin down on that virus?

 

 

 

Rose: This isn't a virus Sieg. If it is, it's been mutated like a jelly slug in a deep-fryer pan. I don't know where to start.

 

 

 

Sieg: Start with the Karamja island incident. Maybe the troll left something behind.

 

 

 

Rose: I know it did. Lots of items from dead players. I'm a sixteen-year old computer nerd, not a security cracker.

 

 

 

 

 

Within the Runescape universe, Rose was what you could consider fairly pretty. She had [bleep]y blue hair, a slim frame, and brown eyes. Sieg, on the other hand, was a muscular and bald avatar. No one knew this, because he always wore a helmet. Everytime he got excited, his helmet jiggled as if it wanted to fall off his head and run away.

 

 

 

 

 

Sieg: And I am a pissed player who lost everything on that island. Don't piss me off even more. Tell me when you get -

 

 

 

Van: Can I help?

 

 

 

Sieg and Rose whirled in surprise. They stared at Van for a moment, then fell into another arguement.

 

 

 

Rose: You told me you had a friend watching the place!

 

 

 

Sieg: I did!

 

 

 

Rose: Who did you ask? Was it your girlfriend?

 

 

 

Sieg: Did not ask her!

 

 

 

Rose: Did so!

 

 

 

Sieg: Did not!

 

 

 

Rose: Did so!

 

 

 

Sieg: Did not!

 

 

 

(Repeat the last two lines a hundred more times)

 

 

 

Sieg: Did not!

 

 

 

Rose: Did so!

 

 

 

Van: Shut up!

 

 

 

Sieg and Rose: WHAT do you WANT?!

 

 

 

 

 

Van took a step backwards. He felt intimidated watching the two battle it out with two words each. It was like watching a game of ping-pong, but the ball was a bomb.

 

 

 

 

 

Van: I, erm, you know,I heard about, err...

 

 

 

Sieg: Spit it out, you babbling monkey, say something!

 

 

 

Van tried to say something, but couldn't. He found it more interesting to watch Sieg's helmet jiggle.

 

 

 

Van: ...

 

 

 

Sieg: Well?

 

 

 

Van: I had an encounter with a river troll -

 

 

 

Sieg: Is this suppose to be a bad joke? I'm sorry, but you can bug off you little toe-rag.

 

 

 

Van: And it was glowing. I attacked it and my scimitar broke.

 

 

 

Sieg: Interesting. Should I report him for stupidity Rose? These things don't happen.

 

 

 

Rose: ...

 

 

 

Sieg : Rose?

 

 

 

Rose: Did the troll do anything else?

 

 

 

Van: Erm, yeah. Karamaja isn't a multi-combat area, you know, but it was attacking everyone.

 

 

 

Rose: That's the virus Sieg. It's spreading.

 

 

 

 

 

Sieg, Van, and Rose were silent for a while, contemplating the meaning of this news.

 

 

 

 

 

Mom: I'm going to count down from thirty, young man! You get here or i'll turn the power off!

 

 

 

Rose: Add us to your friend list. We'll talk later.

 

 

 

Van: Ok, hold on...I have dinenr to eat anyways.

 

 

 

Clicking and typing furiously, Van managed to type RoseD25 and SiegMaster into friend list.

 

 

 

Van: Alright got your names. Where can we meet?

 

 

 

Sieg: We'll tell you when you log back in.

 

 

 

Mom: I've changed my mind. I'm turning the power off now.

 

 

 

 

 

In the basement, Van was engulfed by darkness as Mom pushed the power switch to off.

 

 

 

 

 

Mom: Alright mister, find your way to the table from down there. Don't knock anything over.

 

 

 

 

 

Cursing and swearing, Van got up from the chair and attempted to navigate his way through the basement. He swore when he knocked something made of plastic over.

Chapter 3: Discovery

 

 

 

 

 

Somewhere in North America. Not in Washington, D.C. Phone call.

 

 

 

 

 

Manquiz: You (insert rude noun)! I paid you to get my account, not turn me into a damn troll! Explain it now, mister!

 

 

 

???: You were turned into a troll?

 

 

 

Manquiz: Yes. I WAS. Don't you ever read the forums and look at the front page news at least?

 

 

 

???: No.

 

 

 

Manquiz: Oh, nevermind...well, I was a troll, and I had no control over this troll.

 

 

 

???: Did I mention I haven't even hacked the Jejex base yet?

 

 

 

Manquiz: What?

 

 

 

???: That wasn't me. There's a rumor going around about a virus that seems to have a mind of its own. It's infecting MMORPGs only. Funny at worst, downright criminal at best, for me anyways.

 

 

 

Manquiz: How come I haven't heard about this?

 

 

 

???: Don't you read the front page of newspapers?

 

 

 

Manquiz: ...

 

 

 

???: I take that as a no.

 

 

 

Manquiz: When do I get my account?

 

 

 

???: Actually, I can do it now. I have software Jejex doesn't, and this 'software' makes it easy for me to hack into the database without breaking a sweat.

 

 

 

Manquiz: Wait, wait, wait wait wait...You just stole more then five grand off me, and you can hack in Jejex within a second?

 

 

 

???: Hey, I gotta cover my trail.

 

 

 

Manquiz: Do it. Now.

 

 

 

???: Alright. You'll see your precious account in two minutes.

 

 

 

Manquiz: Oh, and I have another favor to ask of you...

 

 

 

???:...

 

 

 

Manquiz: Make me a better player. Raise all my stats. And make sure Jejex doesn't find out.

 

 

 

???: That will cost you another grand.

 

 

 

Manquiz: ...Nevermind. *click.

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

The next day.

 

 

 

Rose: You're back, Van. Care to meet with me and Sieg?

 

 

 

Van: That's pretty much what I'm on for, isn't it?

 

 

 

 

 

Back in Runescape, over the friend chat, Van was given directions to a secret meeting place that Sieg and Rose were at. They were in the wilderness, as far west as an F2P player could go. What intrigued him was that he was told to bring his handle of the scimitar.

 

 

 

Van cut through the dark wizards, careful not to get hit. Maybe it was the blackout last night, or the troll, but he decided that being more cautious then he usually was would help a bit.

 

 

 

Just as Van left the general vicnity of the dark wizards, a player dressed in dark robes logged on, right in front of him.

 

 

 

Van: Ah...no.

 

 

 

Hitting the RUN button on his settings, Van bursted into a sprint. The logged-on player turned around and fired a Bind at him. It was a weak spell, but it connected, rooting Van's feet to the ground like a magnetic force.

 

 

 

???: What is your name?

 

 

 

Van: What?

 

 

 

???: I asked, what is your name?

 

 

 

Van: You can read, can't you?

 

 

 

???: Indeed. I am sorry that I was forced to bind you. I just...wish to talk. Were you at Karamja Island when the rogue troll struck?

 

 

 

Van: Err...

 

 

 

???: Two asnwers only. Yes, or no.

 

 

 

Van:...

 

 

 

???: Well?

 

 

 

Just as Van was about to answer, the efects fo the bind fell of Van's feet, like magnets burrowing further into the ground. With another wrench, Van was on the run again, but go Binded.

 

 

 

What was going on? Bind was a weak spell, yet it kept connecting with Van. Granted, he had his armour on, but that shouldn't do too much. Who was this player?

 

 

 

Van shifted his mouse over to the player. The name that popped up was ZEON. Van frowned. Players didn't have four-letter names. You couldn't have a four-letter names, in fact. Was this an NPC?

 

 

 

ZEON: Anything?

 

 

 

Sieg: What's taking you? Hurry up!

 

 

 

Van: I'm being stalked by a player, can you give me some help?!

 

 

 

Sieg: Funny, what's his name?

 

 

 

For Sieg, it was simple. He planned to add the person onto his list so that he could identify him. Everybody on the friend list is signified by a green dot on the map, making it easier to find them.

 

 

 

Van: His name is ZEON. I'm west of the dark wizards in the wilderness! Hurry up!

 

 

 

Sieg: Okay, I'm on my way. That's not far.

 

 

 

Beside him, the mysterious person named ZEON stared at Van in the face.

 

 

 

ZEON: You can't escape. Give me an answer, or I will...defeat you.

 

 

 

Van: What are you going to do with that answer?

 

 

 

ZEON: ...

 

 

 

Van: Well...

 

 

 

ZEON: I would eliminate you. But my time is precious. Look behind you.

 

 

 

 

 

Van looked back and saw Sieg, and ZEON delivered a swift kick to the essentials. Van unsheathed his dagger and tried to hit ZEON, but ZEON simply ducked.

 

 

 

 

 

Sieg: Van! What in Ares' name are you trying to do, swiping the air like that?!

 

 

 

 

 

Van ignored him and kept attacking the cyberspace in front of him. Behind Sieg, Rose caught up with Sieg, gaspnig for breath.

 

 

 

 

 

Rose: That's *gasp* enough Van. *huge breath* Please stop trying to kill the air I breath with *gasp* that sword.

 

 

 

Sieg: Did that guy say anything?

 

 

 

Van: Yeah. He said he wanted to eliminate me...

 

 

 

Rose: *gasp*

 

 

 

Sieg: Rose, are you gasping because you need air, or because that sentence scared you?

 

 

 

Rose: (shakes head) *gasp*

 

 

 

Sieg: No? Well, say soemthing instead of exercising your lungs, because - HEY! Did you hit me Van?

 

 

 

Van: What?

 

 

 

Sieg: Nevermind, duck!

 

 

 

 

 

Sieg equipped his willow bow and arrow, and as Rose and Van ducked, he launched a steel arrow from his bow. Van heard a distinctive *clunk*, signifying the arrow had bounced off someone's armour.

 

 

 

Van and Rose moved aside, then watched Sieg arm himself with another arrow and fire it. Their eyes followed the arrow's progress, and when it came to an end at the person, they both gasped. Because that person they saw scared them.

 

 

 

It was ZEON, no doubt about it. The same robes and staff, but ZEON was glowing, a permanent aura of evil around him. Van didn't understand how he couldnot have noticed before. His memory flashed across his mind as he noticed the colour of the aura.

 

 

 

It was red. Just like the troll.

 

 

 

 

 

Rose: Van...

 

 

 

Van: What now?

 

 

 

Rose: Take this...(streches hand out)

 

 

 

 

 

Van stared at the long, metal object in her hands. It was a Runite scimitar, but it was missing a handle. Without missing a beat, Van snatched it from her hands and jammed it into the handle he was carrying with him. The scimitar was whole, and perfectly normal.

 

 

 

And then it started glowing blue.

 

 

 

 

 

Rose: Your encounter with the troll gave your scimitar weird properties, that's what I discovered when I repaired it...

 

 

 

 

 

There was a scream, and Rose and Van turned in time to watch Sieg fly through the air like a piece of bacon thrown from a frying-pan. Van sprung from the ground and aimed his scimitar for ZEON. It connected.

 

 

 

The result was nothing short of spectacular. Blue and red glows collided with each other into a purple mix. ZEON screamed, and Van yelled in triumph. With a mighty heft of his staff, ZEON pushed Van's new scimitar away and teleported.

 

 

 

 

 

Van: Holy...mother of -

 

 

 

Rose: Don't mention it.

I try. If this story is making your eyeballs fall out (painfully), I apologize.

 

I'm going on vacation, so there's going to be a long break...

 

 

 

Chapter 4: Information

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next day, west of Dark Wizards, Wilderness of Ruenscape

 

 

 

 

 

Van: So is there anything we can do?

 

 

 

Sieg: At the moment...no. Your encounter with ZEON was brave and mighty, but you almost killed off our only way of finding out anything about this virus. Me and Rose were going to check out Karamja Island, where you were attacked, but it's probably been all cleaned up already.

 

 

 

Van: So that's it?

 

 

 

Sieg: (sigh) No, idiot. You're on the Internet. You'll always leave a trail, no matter how hard you try to cover it up.

 

 

 

Rose: And that's not it. Have you checked the forums lately?

 

 

 

Van: No. I put up a topic about the virus, but I bet it'll get moved to the Varrock Library or something. Anything else I can do to help?

 

 

 

Rose: Not much. Maybe run around Runescape and try to find the players that got attacked. You can't keep this quiet.

 

 

 

Sieg: Okay then...Rose, run a check through all your programs and make sure they aren't infected before you come along. Van, just...just do what Rose told you.

 

 

 

Van: I start with the forums, right?

 

 

 

Sieg: Right.

 

 

 

Van: And what are you going to do?

 

 

 

Sieg: I'm going on a cruise. To Karamja.

 

 

 

 

 

With a click, Van logged out of Runescape. There was a silent and long pause.

 

 

 

 

 

Rose: Siggy?

 

 

 

Sieg: What?

 

 

 

Rose: Are you sure it's 'me and Rose?' Or is it 'Rose and I?'

 

 

 

Sieg: (dumbfounded look) What? You're worrying about my grammar, and you shoud be counting something on your computer. Go, go.

 

 

 

Rose: Smart-a**. (logout)

 

 

 

Sieg: I try. (logout)

 

 

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

Somewhere on Planet Earth. Another phone call. Again...

 

 

 

 

 

???: This is becoming ridiculous. How many times have you called me?

 

 

 

Manquiz: What do I know? You being the security nut, I thought you would have tapped my phone or something.

 

 

 

???: Tapping a phone means to listen to a phone conversation, not record a number of calls a person makes. If I wanted to do that I would call your service provider, not going on a cracking and hacking spree.

 

 

 

Manquiz: Whatever, chill. The stat raise I asked about before? I changed my mind. I'll have it.

 

 

 

???: My usual fee?

 

 

 

Manquiz: More. I got some friends who want high stats as well.

 

 

 

???: Well, you're getting rather open about your activities, but alright. And how far do you want me to bring up your stats?

 

 

 

Manquiz: The ultimate. Not ninety-nine. The ultimate high, which is probably in the thousands.

 

 

 

???: I tried playing the game myself, pretty boring, but the stats go up to ninety-nine only. Please explain what makes you think you can go beyond.

 

 

 

Manquiz: Ever heard of the king black dragon? The Kalphite Queen? They probably have stats, and the way they can hit players they gotta have stats beyond 99. Just a theory.

 

 

 

???: Very well, I will *just* raise it to the max. Just be aware you'll probably get caught quickly. No one runs around Runescape with those stats.

 

 

 

Manquiz: Do something about that as well. (click)

 

 

 

???: I despise this person...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

Karamja Island, far from prying eyes and ears.

 

 

 

 

 

Van: Alright. Sieg, Rose, I would like to introduce you to two players: Zerek, and Mimi.

 

 

 

Rose: Interesting. Pleased to meet you two.

 

 

 

Sieg: (grunt)

 

 

 

Standing beside Van, Mimi and Zerek waved their hands. Mimi was all dressed up in Runite, including a Runite Battle Axe and shield. Zerek was wearing plain clothes, his brown hair blending in with his tanned skin and his leather attire.

 

 

 

Van: These two are witnesses of the virus. Zerek was with me when I saw the troll on Karamja. Mimi here, however, is the real security nut. I found her on the tip it forums. She likes to go hacking, usually pranks.

 

 

 

Sieg: Hacking is a crime. You (points finger at Van) just brought a criminal into Runescape What else would a hacker do?

 

 

 

Van: Her intentions aren't malicious. And you're asking Rose to help you, and she helps by hacking.

 

 

 

Sieg: It's not hacking, it's looking.

 

 

 

 

 

With a little cough, Mimi raised her hand a little.

 

 

 

 

 

Sieg: You have something to say?

 

 

 

Mimi: I do.

 

 

 

Sieg: What?

 

 

 

Mimi: You just called Bill Gates and Paul Allen criminals. You're using their products. That makes just as guilty as I may be, or Rose.

 

 

 

Sieg: Excuse me? Come again?

 

 

 

Mimi: Look, whatever. You've been missing out. The people who hack computers for pranks, or maybe to improve, to help society, those are hackers. The people you're talking about are called crackers. Now those are some people you can go after.

 

 

 

Sieg: And what do the 'crackers' do? Crack nuts? I bet your skull is cracked.

 

 

 

Zerek: (yawn)

 

 

 

Van: Please, be more mature Sieg...

 

 

 

Sieg: People should NOT be making references to real people if they don't know them. It's just rude. It's just, it just, it's...Bah! Whatever. Let's not talk about it, I don't even know why I started...

 

 

 

(Uncomfortable silence. Crickets chirping)

 

 

 

Rose: ...Keep going Mimi.

 

 

 

Mimi: Gielinor has a secret room. All the developers drop off new creations here and see if they are working. If they want to improve it, they pull it out and work at it, and bring it back. If it does, it gets copied and sent across all the servers. If it crashes the server, too bad.

 

 

 

Rose: Why don't they make another new server, with only the monsters in them?

 

 

 

Mimi: Too many questions. If you got booted off a server you'll probably just go to another. An empty server, however, brings up speculation. Even the German-beta test server is packed with players as Runescape normally is. I can get us all in to that room.

 

 

 

Zerek: So we're going into that server? A server with a secret room that players shouldn't be playing in?

 

 

 

Mimi: Yes we are. And I can do that. Weren't you paying attention?

 

 

 

Zerek: No.

 

 

 

Sieg: For the sake of simplicity, er...

 

 

 

Zerek: I'm Zerek.

 

 

 

Sieg: Zerek, okay...For the sake of simplicity, we're going hunting for a virus. Van is going to go in, kick a** with his new toy, and problem solved. I hope.

 

 

 

Rose: What about ZEON? You think he's responsible for this?

 

 

 

Sieg: I don't give a damn about ZEON. He's probably just a crazy NPC or something.

 

 

 

Rose: You asked for my help in finding who was responsible for the virus so you vould strangle them with their own entrails, weren't those the words you used?

 

 

 

Van, Mimi, and Zerek: @_@

 

 

 

Sieg: No. How soon can we leave.

 

 

 

Mimi: Give me five minutes, maybe...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 5: Cleaning

I don't know that much about the real men that created Runescape, other than they did create Runescape. So I'm making a 'new' company to make up for the lack of knowledge I have on them. I'm also keeping up with the old story. That's my explanation.

 

 

 

Since I'm on vacation you're more likely to get little bits and pieces of chapters, rather then one full chapter a post. I have limited time on computers in airports. I'm typing like a monkey high on bananas, or possible Nestea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 5: Cleaning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sieg: Alright everybody. Let's suit up, and get ready to carve patterns into every monster we can find.

 

 

 

 

 

The group of new warriors finished withdrawing items from the Falador bank and began to equip themselves. Everyone were armed with the full Runite set, with the exception of Zerek, who donned his dragon leather gear and yew bow. Mimi preferred using a Battle Axe, Rose used daggers and a short sword, and Sieg dragged his humongous Two-Hander around, along with his rarely-used bow set. Van, of course, was armed with his new and improved scimitar. He twirled it around in the bank, terrifying a few civillians and recieving endless questions from other bank-goers.

 

 

 

 

 

Sieg: Put that damn thing away Van, we don't want anyone following us...

 

 

 

 

 

Van : (sheathes sword) You know, with a cool weapon of mass ownage like this, maybe I should give it a name. Any ideas?

 

 

 

Zerek: Let's call it Weapon of Mass Ownage!

 

 

 

Mimi: It kills viruses, I assume. How about V-8?

 

 

 

Van: The energy drink, or something like that? What?

 

 

 

Mimi: Sorry, scrap that...how about Voltage? No, maybe...

 

 

 

Zerek: China.

 

 

 

Van and Mimi: What?

 

 

 

Zerek: JINX! BWAHAHAHA!

 

 

 

Sieg: Alright everybody, let's put this guy on our Ignore list -

 

 

 

Zerek: NononononoIwas KIDDING!

 

 

 

Sieg: So was I...

 

 

 

Zerek: (sigh of relief)

 

 

 

Rose: Hold on, le me get this helmet over my darn hair... (sound of crunching hair) Finally, it's on...let's go.

 

 

 

Van: About time, let's go on the Great Hunt!

 

 

 

And without further interruptions or horrible humour, the newest hackers in town set off for Karamja Island.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For F2P players, the volcano of Karamja Island is a gracious host to red spiders, lesser demons, walking skeletons, and the unfortunate dragon Elvarg, killed over and over again by enthusiastic players. It was also the passageway to Crandor Island, where the hobgoblins, moss giants, and greater demons kill, get killed, and raise themselves from the dead to get killed by more players again. The little-known secret was that underground in the volcano, was also a secret room, accessible only by the game moderators. No one could hack into it, because no one knew it existed, except Mimi, and now four other players.

 

 

 

 

 

Mimi: It's time. Are you all ready?

 

 

 

Sieg: Perhaps it would help if you told us what to be ready for?

 

 

 

Mimi: No problem. You're going to see a couple of new monsters, unrealeased in Runescape. All the monsters are non-hostile, so no worries from them.

 

 

 

Van: Then what do we worry about?

 

 

 

Rose: That's easy to answer. What we should worry about is what we don't know is there.

 

 

 

Zerek: Meaning there's nothing to worry about because Mimi just told us what was in the room.

 

 

 

Mimi: Not everything.

 

 

 

Zerek: What?

 

 

 

Mimi: We're here to take care of a mutating virus. What you see is Van entering the room, swish hack whack, it's over? Not a chance. We all have our parts to play in trying to get rid of this virus.

 

 

 

Rose: I suggest we put Zerek foward as bait.

 

 

 

Zerek: (splutter) Why me?

 

 

 

Rose: If there's nothing in that room, I haven't got a problem banishing you there.

 

 

 

Sieg: (brittle voice) Can you...JUST...tell us what to do Mimi. We're hear to do something useful.

 

 

 

Mimi: Alright, don't get bored, you'll have lots to do soon.

 

 

 

Rose: Alright, spit it out.

 

 

 

Mimi: We're going to get rid of a virus. From what we know Van's new toy is the only thing that will work. We can assume the virus will take some sort of physical / cyber form. We will all play as bait for it.

 

 

 

Sieg: And the risk for those people who are bait?

 

 

 

Mimi: No idea. Worse case scenario, you're computer is infected, and you start off some global chain reaction. Best case scenario, you glow red.

 

 

 

Van: Bravo, that sounds boring.

 

 

 

Mimi: When you type, it's going to be.

 

 

 

Van: Boooooriing...

 

 

 

Mimi: You're are so immature...

 

 

 

Rose: Do you have an age above 50?

 

 

 

Mimi: (defiantly) ...NO.

 

 

 

Rose: Then let's get going. How do we get in?

 

 

 

Mimi: For that, I left Sieg the honors of telling you.

 

 

 

Sieg: =D> Thank you, thank you...ladies and gentlemen, I regret to tell you that I have a kick-a** spell none of you have. I call it (flourish) the MT!

 

 

 

Zerek: (to Van) His head is MT.

 

 

 

Sieg: Basically, I have a cool spell that allows me to teleport anywhere I can see on my map. MT for Map Teleport!

 

 

 

Zerek: :-w

 

 

 

Sieg: Now, if you would just please log out and then come back in...

 

 

 

Rose: Did Mimi make this 'spell?'

 

 

 

Sieg: Hah! No!

 

 

 

Rose: Then who?

 

 

 

Sieg: Dunno, some guy I found on the Internet. I phoned him and he got me this spell. (teleports behind Rose) And it's damn cool, don't you think?

 

 

 

Rose: As long as no one is watching. I'm surprised Jejex doesn't know...

 

 

 

Van: (cough) We have a schedule here, I advise we keep on it...

 

 

 

Zerek: Indeed! Let's go in and do something. (yawn) On second thoughts...

 

 

 

Sieg: Log out and come back in, morons.

 

 

 

Van: Please, I don't want to play peace-keeper... (logout)

 

 

 

Zerek: Don't wanna be a peace-keeper...eh? (logout)

 

 

 

 

 

With a shake of her head, Rose logged out, followed by Mimi.

 

 

 

 

 

Sieg: (mumbling) hungry...

 

 

 

---STILL TO BE CONTINUED...CAN YOU HOLD IT?---
