Jabber: the IM of choice of 9/10 evil maniacal geniuses

Tristan, Jeremy, Johan and myself had a very amusing conversation over Jabber IM a little while ago: here it is in marked up glory. Let this be a lesson to you: never forget the duck…

Johan: FOOLS! Now I can take over the world! mmmuahahahaha!!!
***Kim makes a note to contact the specialist and see about having Johan’s medication adjusted, yet again
***Jeremy plants a small explosive device somewhere in Johan’s dirigible.
***Tristan makes a note to contact the surveillance team and see that voyager is actually having his medication
***Kim makes another note to politely decline future offered lifts in Johan’s dirigible
Jeremy: Oh, I replaced the dried frogs with sugar pills. Far more interesting that way.
Jeremy: I’m thinking of adding caffeine and the merest hint of LSD.
***Johan makes a note to remind the specialist, surveilance team and bomb squad who they work for
Tristan: Jeremy: I was just wondering if his paranoia meds need to be adjusted or forcibly administered
Kim: I already added the LSD
***Tristan makes a note to remind the surveillance team of their cover story
Jeremy: Tristan: They are being correctly taken, it’s just that he’s on different (and more interesting) meds.
Tristan: fair enough, social experimentation ftw!
Johan: But who is experimenting on whom?
Johan: twitch
Jeremy: Everyone on everyone.
Jeremy: It’s more exciting that way.
Kim: excellent - the twitching has begun
Kim: we can proceed to stage 5
Jeremy: Umm, I did that last week.
Kim: prepare the generator and the clamps
Jeremy: The twitching should have cleared up by now…
Kim: you did?
Tristan: dammit Jeremy, communicate!
Jeremy: Unless you were continuing with stage 3 procedures…
Tristan: or at least put it on the damned wiki!
Jeremy: I left a message in the secondary dead-drop.
Kim: yes, but you used last months cipher
Kim: so the message was disregarded, as per agreed protocol
Jeremy: Oh, blast. My autoupdate script failed on the encryption module.
Kim: now we have to “reset” the subject for the umpteenth time
***Kim prepares the mind scrubber
Johan: You guys are crazy
Tristan: Good. Standard response received. We may proceed.
Tristan: Good work Kim
***Kim prepares the mind scrubber
***Johan notices nothing strange. crazy==normal, after all
Kim: excellent
Kim: I so hate it when the scrubbing fails and a new subject is required
Kim: subject-acquisition is such a tedious process
Jeremy: Especially when you forget the duck.
Kim: that’s why the wiki’s HOW-TO page specifically specifies the mallard
