Ettercap makes his way around harpo989 and The Tweaker (If he can put them in between himself and Prankster Bit then combat with any of the current programs will be more managable).
Ettercap gets ready to send another volley of cluster disks to Prankster... when he receives a querry from his User, MDL_1.
Ettercap calls up his rod and rezzes up his light cycle to quickly make his way to an I/O node at the far end of the grid.
"This had better be good." he mutters to himself. "I haven't had a good round of combat play in microcycles!"
Once at the I/O node he de-rezzes his cycle and connects:
//login:ettercap_1
//pass: ********
...
//Receiving user request
//User: MDL_1
//Request status and current location of ettercap.
...
//priority_1
//report to IP: 155.187.211.101
//possible attack on LAN from outside system via 155.187.205.1
//initial detection on 00:03:93:b1:3c:d1
//request ettercap locate system breech, isolate attacker, trace, and destroy.
//End of line.
Ettercap turns back to the small cluster of programs engaged in combat. "Just when it was getting good... I'll see you guys in a few microcycles. Keep the grid warm for me - I'll be back before this game is done."
Ettercap rezzes out of the game grid.
Read as: I'm going to be away for the holiday weekend and most likely wont be able to keep up with the game until next week (I didn't want to slow down the progress by not responding for a few days). Have a great 4th of July harpo989, and any other programs from the states.
