I wasn't aware that I was a twit. In fact, a few people have 24 talked to me about how 'we can get the twits.' And old, faithful user you 25 may be, but I would be also if my hardware were so faithful. I first called 26 BWMS on Dec. 28, 1983 at 17:25-17:43. I have been off and on since then. 27 I started calling myself STARPATH on Dec. 19, 1983. I went off after a 28 (wait, that was 1984.) My modom went out , (did this take that? oh no!) 29 (1984)... and then my modom went out. I had to wait until 8/3/85, then I 30 went back on-line for a month and a half. Finally, I started up again in 31 Feb. of this year. I only comment on what I see here, or I bring up 32 something that will not offend anyone. If you have a complaint, tell it to 33 me, don't just sit there and name call. 34 Moshe Freinberg: I wasn't aware that Milchar was a twit, either. 35 Delta five: Interesting, please go on with your story. 36 All: sorry about those line feeds, but something happened and I couldn't 37 control it. 38 *** STARPATH *** 39 / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / 40 ><><><><><><><><>><><><><><><><><><><><><><>> 41 42 Since Starpy didn't say anything, I feel that it is up to me to uphold our 43 valiant Backwater traditions.

He could use anything from a Bowie knife to tsmall firearms to any 99 type of rifle you care to name, and was good with ALL of them. Unfortunately, 100 James had this rather distressing habit of ignoring rules just so he could 101 use his talents as much as possible. 102 Well, definitely not a Parity, Farley thought, but perhaps he can be useful. 103 James stopped firing at the targets (he had put several dozen bull's-s-eyes in 104 each one) and turned to see Farley just inside the sound-proof door, holding 105 his hands over his ears. 106 "Eugene! Hey, come down to squeeze off a few, did you?" 107 James always made Farley nervous, but he was determined not to let James know 108 it. "Nah. Came to offer you a little fun, James." 109 James paused a bit. "Private job? Not for NET?" 110 James would detect a lie- at least from Farley, who couldn't lie well. He 111 answered, "Yeah. Private." 112 James considered this., not worrying about what the 'fun' consisted of, just 113 that NET didn't know about it. "Won't Ian be peeved?" 114 Farley knew jexactly how to answer this. He smiled a little, and said "Yes." 115 James broke into a grin. "Sounds swell so far. Let's go talk about it over 116 a brew." 117 #$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$# Farley #$##$##$##$# 86:05:10:06:05 #$##$# 118 119 |{}||||}|}|}|}}}|{|{{|}||||}{|||{|||||}|}|||}||{|||||||}||||||{||{||}|}|||||||| 120 121 Do you agent-types have a plot ready?

For the next few days, pretend that you're vacationing in 142 Mexico, don't eat the food, don't drink the water, and stay out of the sun. 143 The weathermen said it was going to rain today which tends to make me 144 wonder... what in the he** has been falling out of the sky? It must be a pigment 145 of my imagination. I was over at Larry's sports center today and there was a 146 sale on lead waders which should thin the fishing crowd. Have a wonderful day, 147 and remember the old Russian proverb, if you nuke 'em, Barri 'em. 148 149 ??????????????????????????????????????? bondo ??????????????????????????????????? 150 The stillness inside the small office was broken only by the howl of the wind, as it whistled and moaned through the 151 cavernous hangar. The rain had stopped falling;the sky was clear, the air very cold. A million stars studded the inky 152 purple sky as the shortening golden rays of the arctic sun withdrew,fingerlike, their color from the deserted airfield. 153 154 Five men sat on folding chairs, each glancing occasionally at the door to the communications room. Waiting. The 155 seconds ticked by, becoming minutes, becoming quarter-hours. Waiting... 156 Suddenly, expectedly, the door opened.The bull of a man called Delta Five emerged. The tears were dried, his compo 157 sure regained. He was in control. He strode purposefully to the refrigerator, and, extracting a can of Budweiser, 158 drank deeply. Stepping to the center of the room, he addressed the five waiting men. 159 The message has been decoded. The sender, as you know, my father, is dead. He faltered, his voice choked with 160 emotion, then quickly continued. We are all here because of one man. Leroy McKane. We thought we knew a great deal 161 about him-and we do- but-there is one thing we didn't know. Something big. McKane had dropped out of sight after his 162 alleged death in Oklahoma. Later a message was intercepted. From-of all places-a sausage factory in France. This led 163 us to Central America, and to McKane. He was operating a home for 'wayward' boys. What we didn't know about is the 164 underground fifteen million dollar research center. Lasers, gentlemen. And Masers. Big ones. Capable of bringing down 165 an aircraft. A satellite. A missle. Star wars rechnology. 166 An audible gasp filled the room, and Lou passed out cans of Budweiser to dry throated men. 167 Delta continued;"This afternoon, a Soviet Ilyuhshan III cargo plane-a "civillian" plane was dispached from Leningrad 168 to Managua, Nicaragua. The cover for this is the withdrawl of Soviet troops from Central America" 169 "One of these lasers is ready for field testing, and is to be flown west across the Pacific, then north of Japan, 170 and finally west into Eastern Siberia. We don't know where-possibly Yakutsk" 171 He paused for a moment, letting it sink in, then continued. "The Pentagon can do nothing-an unarmed civilian aircraft 172 over international waters the entire flight. *WE* can. We will. We must" 173 174 Parity stood up and took charge. "Delta is right. His voice rising in volume, as the howling of the Arctic wind 175 intensified. "We have little time. I suggest we take stock-of what we have to work with, of our collective skills: 176 Lou disappeared into the hangar and returned dragging a large chalkboard, setting it in place, and Parity began 177 drawing lines across the surface. The others watched-murmuring in low voices, fascinated. Across the top each man 178 was listed, and across the left side were drawn symbols-an aircraft, a round bomb with "sputtering" fuse.A gun,etc. 179 In the square across from the scetch of the plane, and below his and Delta's name, he drew an X. 180 "OK. Two of us can fly..." 181 He was interrupted by Leo;George Kellermans friend. "Make that three. I flew Hueys in Nam, and for WNBC News in New 182 York. I also speak fluent Spanish, and a little Russian..." 183 One by one, each man revealed his useful skills, and the board was soon covered with X,s. Fellows spoke fluent 184 Russian. Lou could fix just about anything mechanical, and was experienced in the manufacture and use of explosives. 185 They all could handle firearms. 186 A plan was quickly drawn up, and each man knew what to do. Parity and Fellows were in the comm room, poring over 187 Jepsen manuals, sending comm-link messages to NET Central, enlisting aid, and printing out details to be researched. 188 Lou was in the hangar making Plastique and from boiling gasoline and soap powder, Napalm. Leo-using hastily made 189 stencils and spray cans, was "decorating" the old DC-3. Everyone was busy. The hours passed. No one saw the thin 190 streak of black smoke arching across the Northern sky... 191 To be continued.

245 Ada arrived at work at the usual time. She checked up the high 246 priority operations and picked the latest progress reports on her way to 247 her desk. She sorted out the most important and went through the 248 connecting door to Ian's office. 249 Odd, he wasn't in yet. He was usually hard at work by now. 250 Wait. There's an envelope in the middle of his desk. 251 No adress and not sealed. VERY strange she thought. Opening it 252 she scanned the single page inside. 253 She ran out into the outer office and unlocked a file cabinet. 254 "Oh my God! He's got them all...." 255 She picked up the phone and dialed. "Security. This is Ada Lovelace. 256 ID . Condition Blue 9. Repeat Blue 9. The director's status 257 is unknown but until further notice he is to be assumed to be an enemy 258 agent. Termination is NOT allowed. Move it!" 259 She dialed again and repeated the ID procedure. "Cryptography. 260 Do you have any codes that have not been approved by Mr. Machinery yet? 261 If so send them up & prepare to issue them as soon as the commitee makes 262 a decision. All current codes are to be considered compromised." 263 She drew herself together and made a final call. This call was 264 apparently an external call as she looked up a number and attached a 265 scrambler to the phone. 266 "Sir, when I came in I found Mr. Machinery's resignation on his 267 desk. He's taken all his files. He refered to them as 'insurance' in his 268 letter." 269 "Yes, I've notified Security and Crypto sections....." 270 RYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRY 271 The above occurred last week, it has been withheld pending notification 272 of all offices and operatives.

Fellows, look at this." Parity handed Fellows the latest COMSET decode. Fellows' eyes 327 traced across the thermal paper as he read the hot-off-the-press message. His look of surprise was replaced by one of 328 disbelief as he placed the message in the destruction bin. 329 "Resigned? Ada taking over? What in Hell is happening at HQ? We leave for a week and the place falls apart Parity." 330 Parity sighed. Fellows was up to his old tricks. "Humor is not appreciated at the moment Fellows. This is serious. 331 We may poke fun at Ian's expense sometimes, but he is a damn good director and he has always kept us clear of the 332 committee's wrath. To find out he is missing, with an armload of important papers is more than a little disconcerting. 333 Ada's got a tough job. We need HQ resources right now. This could not have happened at a worse time." 334 "Exactly Parity." Fellows smiled and sat down next to the table that held the COMSET. "Ian's timing is rotten. He knows 335 we are on an important mission with DV. He knows the rumors about McKane. He is the key to coordinating all the branches of 336 NET, and NOW he has vanished. It's mighty suspicious Parity. That little voice inside me is saying 'hit the deck, because 337 SOMETHING is about to hit the fan.'" 338 "I know what you mean. OK, let's tell DV and the others what's up at HQ and see how they want to proceed. We have most 339 of the information we need to carry out our plan, but, crap, we need that additional coordination!" 340 "Let's brake the news gently. Come on, we can't sit around in the radio shack all day." 341 "Right Fellows, right. I just hope they don't kill the messengers." 342 7E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E1 PARITY 7E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E17E1 343 344 345 346 I SAY WE KILL THE MESSAGER.

Friday 02:03 399 Once again, the same group of men filed quietly into the Oval Office. They took their places in front of the dedk. 400 The president, seated behind the broad expanse of polished Mahogany, held a single sheet of paper in his hand. Before 401 him lay the opened envelope stamped "EYES ONLY". His soft spoken manner, the one of public appearances and press con 402 ferences was gone. He spoke sharply, demanding answers. "Mr. Secretary, how do you suggest we handle this?" 403 "I suggest we do nothing. Six men-some of the best there are, are preparing to move. They can handle it. At most, 404 we might provide a little fire power..."The president interrupted;"The Albanian?" "We don't know where he is. If any 405 one does, it would be Parity. No doubt he has made contact. At least tried" 406 "Anyone else?..." The meeting was over, and the statesmen filed from the room, except for the Secretary of State. 407 It was 2:27 AM. The President picked up the yellow telephone... 408 409 Juneau, Alaska. Thursday. 11:27. 410 George Kellerman had finished his work, and made his way to the hangar where Lou and Leo were wrapping up theirs. 411 "Parity wants to see us in the office"... "We have a flight plan, and alternatives. NET has gotten us clearance direct- 412 ly to Managua. Red Cross supplies. As we approach the airport, we drop below radar, and skim the trees East for 350 413 miles. There is an open area where we can set down, if our intelligence is right." He paused, loking at his map. 414 "Flying time, given our load, winds aloft, and some fine tuning by Lou, here, is 14 hours.According to NET, a half 415 hour less than it will take the truck-that carries the Laser-to reach the airstrip. We will have a two mile hike 416 through the jungle to the road, where we will intercept and take the vehicle." 417 Fellows broke in;"There's been some trouble at NET. McHinery has vanished, along with some files. We don't know how 418 that affects us, but it's too late to worry. It's time to go." 419 The others finished their reports, the last of the supplies were loaded-which, oddly enough, included peices of wreck- 420 age from a long dead airplane. A few minutes later, the red and white Dakota lifted off the runway, and into the night.. 421 to be continued [*=*] DELTA FIVE [*=*] 422 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` 423 WARNING!!!!!!!!!

Having gone from production to programming myself, I can 530 appreciate your excitement. Does this mean you are no longer an assembly-line 531 flunky, but a full-fledged MS-DOSser? (This is the job you had part time a 532 while back, right?) Imagine - if there is also a corresponing raise in pay, 533 you can join the real world and get something ibm compatible! (T1000/1200, 534 of course :-) ). [then you could use SQ/UNSQ / ARC ]. Anyway, way to go. 535 ::::::::::::::O O:::::::::::::::::voyeur:::::::::::::::::::O O:::::::::::::::: 536 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 537 Art Deco: Message received.
