[TheonlyShamus]

*Shamus finnaly stroll's up after a long walk to the main location of the Unified Circuit, and plops down on the ground to recover as he looks around*

Man where the hell did Socket shoot himself to.

SOCKET WHERE YOU AT THERE SIR!!

Guess i can wait a lil' bit till he shows up.

*Shamus lays back and relaxs with a small groan and waits*

(This is an OOC Description of the Circuit, for those traveling to it.)

The Unified Circuit is an impressive facility, easily 150 feet across from its two widest points. Two large brick structures vent off steam from presumably underground areas, and the entire Circuit itself emits a dull hum, like a distant fan. There are no guards, no fences, no automated gun turrets. There only is the Circuit.

The various pipes and conduits of the Circuit are comprised of several differing materials, as are the base rings connecting each of the three pylons. The pylons themselves arc up to meet at, but eerily do not touch, the central sphere.

The sphere is a glossy black sphere with a soft red glow coming from deep within it. On occasion, the sphere will develop cracks that will allow the red glow within to shine forth, though the sphere seems to not only be unaffected by the cracks, but repairs them given time. The cracks seem to happen at random intervals and the patterns of the cracks seemingly not only do not repeat, but to those who know what to look for, the cracks do not seem to hint at a lack of structural integrity.

Underneath the sphere, at the central point of the connecting rings, there is evidence of a hatch, though currently, the hatch is closed.

As Shamus approaches the Circuit, it seems to emit a sound not unlike thousands of people whispering in the distance. After a few moments of distanced whispering, one voice among millions stands out. The voice is nondescript, but it is the sort of voice that Shamus might actually expect a semi-psychic machine of this caliber to posses. The voice is neither inviting nor dismissive, neither enticing nor elusive. It simply is, and it welcomes Shamus to the grounds.

"Greetings and Welcome to the Unified Circuit. I am ready to assist."

[TheonlyShamus]

*Shamus thinks to himself real quick*
OOC: if the unified circuit is psychic it will then pick this so ima just post it just incase

"(Mental thought): Should i wait for socket so we both can quiz the circuit or just ask what's going on with the flags"

[TheonlyShamus]

" OK unified circuit..... 1st question. Do you know what effects happened after we inputed the flags into your system?

[Socket]

*Socket approaches while looking intently at the map/notes from Yuri and stops just moments from tripping over Shamus when he asks the Circuit his question*

"Oh, hey.  You made it, good.  Any answers yet?"

[TheonlyShamus]

"Hey hows it going.*Shamus Raises his hat and pops it back on* Nope not yet guess it needs time to process it or something. So what was up with the launching yourself back there pretty impressive, but im kinda glad i didn't go with ya i dont know if i would survive that one.

[Socket]

"Dang.  I hate waiting on machines.  The Avatar Cannon is a good way to travel, if you happen to get the destination right.  And can survive the impact.  And don't end up destroying the destination."

[TheonlyShamus]

"Im guessing that has happened to you before, just like right now when you launched yourself *Shamus pauses* where did you launch yourself?

[Socket]

"To the Standing Circuit, or what used to be the Standing Circuit.  It was the original one of these, built by a group of techies that used to be something called Zarkole or something like that whatever that means.  I think.  Good guys as far as I could tell, don't know why anyone would blow it up.  Gunna have to track them down and find out what happened."

*Socket looks at the big semi-glowy-ball-thingy and starts tapping its foot*

"Well?  Come on!  Lets have the answer already!  Stupid ancient technology."

[TheonlyShamus]

*Shamus looks for a computer terminal* "Are we supposed to plug the question in somewhere??"

[Socket]

*after trying to stare down the big sphere for far too long, Socket pulls out telephone pole*

"You got till the count of 3 before I start looking for the answer INSIDE you."

"Whoa wait socket hold on there sir  we dont know what this thing can do or how mad alot of people would be if you do destroy it....or worse it destroy us"

[Johnathan Logan]

At around the time of the counting, a road weary denim clad Galahad is approaching the Circuit.  His jacket looks like it's seen better days, his pants have holes in the knees, and the shirt is near shredded.  Adjusting his very skewed glasses Johnathan takes in Socket and Sheamus, his unrully hair looking even more insane on his head.  "Socket... please... don't go blowing up the Unified Circuit so soon after the Standing Circuit was destroyed?"  He stumbles slightly and considers the situation.  "Lemme hit my place and freshen up some, then maybe I can give you guys a hand..."

He touches the communicator on his wrist and condenses into a green molecule, floating off into the air.  30 seconds pass and the molecule returns, expanding into a much neater looking John - the jacket replaced by a denim vest, the pants repaired, and his hair barely a half inch long in all directions opon his head.  "Ahhhh much better.  Tough when you've been on the road."  Moving to join them he glances over the circuit and the two waiting there.  "So what part of ancient technology is bothering you today, Socket?"

[Socket]

"Whoa wait socket hold on there sir  we dont know what this thing can do or how mad alot of people would be if you do destroy it....or worse it destroy us"

"Don't worry, you'll grow back."

"Socket... please... don't go blowing up the Unified Circuit so soon after the Standing Circuit was destroyed?"

"If it complies, I won't have to blow it up."

*Shamus starts looking for an area where he can hide from the massive explosion about to occur*

"Alright man if you wanna hit it be my guess"
