[11.1.4] This is really going to be hell on the carpet - Syntax - 9/2/08

**The_Merovingian**

It is unfortunate that Monsieur Carlyne did not stay for cake. But we have seen, mes amis, that he was pressed for time. Quel dommage; stress cannot be good for one in his condition.

**Procurator**

Eh-heh. This could be interesting. Merv won't be able to keep the BIP out of Carlyne's hands. The BIP itself might, of course.

I wonder whether Carlyne's acting on behalf of the Oligarchy or if he's gone rogue, as Halborn seemed to have.

**Cervacius**

Hmm, Carlyne turned red instead of his usual blue. I wonder why.

**Procurator**

(( I think that's the club lighting. His face is still blue, though that could just be a glitch. ))

**Nicho**

Way to punk out Merv. Though now Carlyne is almost certain he is going to get what he came for since he knows pretty much all of our tactics of getting rid of the Oligarchs.

**Procurator**

I'm hesitant to call Carlyne an Oligarch. When I overheard him talk to someone (I forget who; Gray maybe), he said he would report Halborn 'to the Oligarchs'. If he was one himself, he would have said 'the other Oligarchs'.

He is clearly a member of the Oligarchy, certainly. However, that society has two levels: the citizens and the Oligarchs themselves. The Oligarchs are to the Oligarchy what the Council is to Zion.

**shinpseudo**

Carlyne is all-business now. The nice guy approach is out the window now that the BIP is found, and almost in-hand.

**Kybutra**

Interesting event, sad I had to miss it.

**Manatik**

so Carly's back eh? Should have worked with us from the beginning when we offered him an alliance, instead of going back home.

**caillech**

I continue to wonder what profit is in it for the Merovingian to turn the program over to Carylne. Seems odd to me that he would just give the program away, unless perhaps he has over ridden the security on the program and copied and/or altered it. Then "giving" it away could generate a different sort of profit.

I look forward to the next development in this saga.

Merv gets to live. That sounds like a good profit to me.

**caillech**

Procurator, Do you truly think The Merovingian could be killed? *I am loudly laughing at that supposition!*

**Procurator**

Uh, yeah. Have you any idea what those override codes can do?

Neat visual effect, if you don't count the instant death to individuality of any program.

Because Hypathia and Agent Gray are soooo dead.
