((I'm writing some short "stories" on the SoS forum, but I thought I'd share with the community. Hope you like the first installment. Oh, and I know we're not supposed to use 1337, but all 1337sp34k is quotes from in-game. And yeah, I've got sort of the same humor as Thedeacon, no need to comment on it unless you have a nice comment!))
It's a quiet morning on Rubi-Ka. Well, as quiet as they get around the grid in Omni Trade. A few soldiers keep shooting the guards, a blue fixer is laughing in the middle of a hail of bullets, and a MP falls over dead when a shade accidentally brushes past on her way to fame and glory.
Glory-seeking shade: "Oh em gee! Soz, dint mean 2 keel j00 n00b."
Dead MP: "..."
Glory-seeking shade: "wtf, I gt a nju title omgz lol!"
A few yards away sits Wrenchrider. She smiles as the pollution actually lets some rays from one of the suns hit her face, and continues to clean her gun. Hearing a clear metallic voice above the crowd, she turns and looks at her bot, Pew Pew!!
Pew Pew!!: Hey Wrenchie, why are we sitting here?
Wrenchrider: Because it's a beautiful morning, we've done assignments for the glory of Omni Tek all night and it's time for some R&R.
Pew Pew!!: R&R? What the hell is that? Rust and Rust more? I don't feel like standing around. I need to either kill something or clean my chassis - or both. Imagine if you could clean your chassis with blood! That would've been neat.
Wrenchrider: Please Pew, don't ruin my mood. I'm still happy with my last promotion, and I don't really care to think about carnage at the moment.
The comm goes off with a "blargh", reminding Wrench to download the newest comm-tones from the grid. She activates the private channel that someone has requested, hoping it is someone asking her out for breakfast.
Noob enforcer: U build stuff?
Wrenchrider: Uh... yes, what kind of stuff do you need me to build?
Noob enforcer: ...
Wrenchrider: Hello? Can you hear me?
Noob enforcer: U build stuff?
Wrenchrider: As I just said. Yes, I do build stuff...
Noob enforcer: u make carb?
As she's thinking what to reply, some other guy hacks into the private chat.
Noob doctor: u do monsterpart?
Wrenchrider: Yes, I can make carb to ql 150. Do you want me to?
Noob doctor: u stupid?
Noob enforcer: u there?
Rolling her eyes, Wrenchrider flips a few switches to separate the two conversations, wondering if she just degraded the meaning of the word "conversation".
[To] Noob enforcer: Yes, up to ql 150.
[To] Noob doctor: Yes, I can make blood plasma - but not very high.
Noob enforcer: kkthx wru?
Noob doctor: kk
[To] Noob enforcer: I'm sitting near the grid in Omni Trade.
Noob enforcer: omw
Wrenchrider stands up, opens her inventory and pulls out the needed equipment to make carb. She looks around, spotting a few known faces, waving to some passer-bys, and stretches.
Passing agent: Post ur helm plz
Wrenchrider sighs and shows her helmet to the agent.
Passing agent: want to sell?
Wrenchrider: Er... I'm kind of using it right now. It keeps my head free of high-speed metal.
Passing agent: wtt? got othre amror!
Wrenchrider: No thank you.
Noob enforcer: I jump @ TG wru?
[To] Noob enforcer: I'm right in front of you. Try to look around before you... nevermind. Do you have the plates for your carb?
Noob enforcer: No
[To] Noob enforcer: Eh... I can't make armor out of thin air you know. You'll need to find seven plates in a store so I can make the seven parts of armor that you need.
Noob enforcer: no, u do dat - I must pvp
[To] Noob enforcer: Sorry pal, I'm not your mum. You find the plates, I make the armor, you tip me, you get the armor.
Noob enforcer, now with a pvp-flag: stfu, ur rich, u can do it free
[To] Noob enforcer: Do you think I got rich by doing **** like this for free?
Wrenchrider grins as a Rookie Agent shoots the Noob enforcer trough the head.
Noob enforcer: f#ck u!! u made me die!!!1!!1eleven!
[To] Noob enforcer: Eh, I didn't shoot you
Pew Pew!! Want me to seek and destroy Wrench? I can find that enforcer and spawn-ra9e him a few times.
Wrenchrider: No thank you Pew, but thanks for the offer.
Noob enforcer: u made me spoke 2 u and i got ganked
[To] Noob enforcer: Hehe, is this when you're going to petition me for harrasment?
Noob enforcer: YES STFU!!!
[To] Noob enforcer: There is a cruel world out there. I was trying to be nice, but I guess I earn the title I got from some friends - I really AM "teh ebil engi" - and to prove my point: Welcome to /ignore
Sitting down again, Wrenchrider winks to the Rookie Agent.
Rookie Agent: Was that noob bothering you?
Wrenchrider: Nah, but that was a great AS!
Rookie Agent: Yeah, I just got my ql 200 Perenn on, and I'm only level 65. Still had the wrangle and the drains running, and Unexpected Attack, Take The Shot and a bunch of other buffs. It was fun!
Wrenchrider: Well, say hello to your kids from me.
Rookie Agent: Will do. /curt
Seeing the agent leave Wrenchrider thinks back to the days they explored the Shadowlands together, before the agent decided he had reached his place in the society. Those were the days...
A few minutes later the noob enforcer appears, doing the /fblock and a few other weird emotes in Wrenchriders face - but she's already gone /afk and doesn't notice...
Noob doctor: u make blood or what? (AFK reply sent)
