Into the Darkness [open rp]
Intro: For over a decade the Dark Lady (recently crowned "Black Empress") has ruled Axackal II with an iron grip, removing the freedoms once held dear by the Old Republic until the people were effectively brainwashed into believing in the power of the state and the godhood of the Black Empress, but there were a few that still resisted and these few remain trapped in a world of constant fear and constant pain.
He was late, the young boy had just finished making sure that his parents were asleep. They were. The boy knew that there would be awkward questions asked if his mom or dad found him on the computer at 1:00 A.M. they would ask questions and what was worse they would come up with dangerous answers, answers that would lead him to public execution by one of the Priests of the Black Church of Political and Spiritual Enlightenment.
This boy was a "Republic Fighter" and he was going to speak at the closed pirate signal internet meeting of the group of the few resistance fighters left in all of Axackal II. As he put in the disk and turned on the internet connection the pirate codes in the disk took him to a secure anti-imperial website, a website that was the lifeline for him and so many of his faceless friends, the IM popped up, it was Killthefalsequeen101, one of his best friends.
Killthefasequeen101: Your late, Billabong.
Billabong: Sorry, had to make sure the peeps weren't lookin, what is new on the battlefront?

*tag* Good to see you back.
Killthefalsequeen101: Not much, a few unsuccessful raids on goverment armories happened but the new Imperial Goverment has made everyone aware of that of course with a severe coloring of what actually happened, anything on getting the youth on our side?
Billabong: Nothing, everyone that I have talked to, discretly, is either loyal to the government or too scared to act against it, as usual.
SoldierofLight: Hey!
Billabong: Hey soldier, we were talkin' bout the resent failed raids, any info?
SoldierofLight: Nuthing that I am eligable to talk about at the moment, as usual.
In Real Life
The boy behind the screen name "Billabong" hears a noise from his parents bedroom, he then types in the letters "GGN" (Gotta Go Now) and turns off his computer slips into bed as quickly and quietly as possible, he hears someone walk to the bathroom just down the hall from his room and after a few minutes the bathroom door closes. The boy then decides that it isn't safe to go back to the Anti-Goverment site tonight, he will have to wwait another week before it is safe again, the boy falls asleep and his last thought is on how strange his life had become since last summer break when he became a "Republic Fighter" just after his 12th birthday party, hopefully before he could legally drive a car they would be free again.

The Black Iron Imperium of Axackal II
Grand Palais; Cythas
The Black Empress Helena Cocytus-Black, the supreme ruler of Axackal II and soon-to-be founder of the Cocytus-Black Dynasty sat on the Iron Throne in her Grand Chamber of Public Viewing deep in Grand Palais. The light of the holographic full moon shinned on the Dark Lady as she read the report in her hands. The report was nothing but good news, the Project Jupiter was nearly complete and the prototype Gravship was scheduled for a test flight in a few months, soon the beginnings of a new Imperium would grow and the power of the Black Empress and the Iron Throne would grow beyond anything anyone could of imagined. But first she needed to deal with the ever annoying "Republic Fighters" but they would fall Helena had no doubt of that, it was only a matter of effort... and time.

In Real Life:
After talking online with the kids (who were the future of the people and the hope for a democratic future) for an hour SoldierofLight signed off of the website and took out the pirate codedisk from his computer, the man behind the screenname liked his desk job in the Sunni Corporation (secretly owned by the Black Empress) and the fact that he was on the enemies payroll, which for him was a rather large amount and allowed him to live a life of extravagence, but the money was put to a good cause, funding the Republic Fighters and bringing down the tyrant Helena Cocytus-Black and restoring the Old Republic. Harry White (that was his real name) looked at his clock, it said 2:00 A.M., time for him to go to bed, he had to go to work tomorrow and no one must suspect a thing.

The Keeper sat in front of the main screen of the Information Matrix under the capital. He was not one of the Keepers in charge of keeping the data uncorrupted. He was one the ones that added new information to the databank. The computer was scanning all websites from the 'evil' dictatorships the Empire had recently been in contact with. It had finished with The Brotherhood of Nod and the other SAVIOUR leaders and had moved on to Axackal II. It had searched 27% of the site when a light flashed and was brought up on a small screen.
He read the site carefully. Interesting. Very interesting... He scanned the site for a few more minutes and saved it. Anti-government sites were always saved. Any information that could be used against an enemy, or even an ally, was to be used to it's full potential. He told the computer to continue the search and alert him as before. He meanwhile checked into the hacking protection on that one site...
The programs that had been placed into the site went into alert when it detected a scan from an unknown source, the automated protection system booted everyone off of the site and and the address was randomly changed and only the people with the proper keycodes would get the new address via, secure coded email.

The Keeper blinked in mild shock. He tried the address and only got a 404 error. This is only getting better and better. He had the computer start another scan in addition to the first. He programed in an extra line of code this time. If it found the site again, it would send a short message to the system. Keeper 1285-Crimmond

A strange message emerged on the site, the words Keeper 1285-Crimmond emerged, before it was removed by the Site Manager EmigaX a message was sent to the Keeper Listed (after they learned what a keeper was).
What do you want?

The Matrix Scanners are amazing... I'd kis them if it wouldn't send mega-jouls of energy through my body... He typed a response:
Knowledge is a dangerous thing... do you think you have enough?
The responce was well-thought out but stuck to the point.
What is important is what one does with the information they have, all the rest is detail work.

True. Yet... one cannot pass up the oppertunity to expand a knowledge base. If that is done, you will have much more o turn against the evils you fight.
The Keeper looked up. A red haired woman had entered and was conversing with another Keeper.
Lady Lara Tian, heir to the Empire, sat down beside a Keeper and begin accessing files to help with the negotiations she was working on. She paid him little mind until he saw the message box. "Keeper, you know using the Matrix for chatting is prohibited."
He nodded. "I am aware of this, but I am conversing with... The Republic Fighters. A group against the rule Axackal II is under. I was going to offer an information exchange."
She looked over the messages. "I will answer the next reply."
What do you have to offer? What do you want in exchange?
Was the message sent in reply.
Crimmond

Lara thought about that. Lots of ways o make this offer...
We offer... What you want. No more hiding. No more reason to hide. In return, we want nothing. Seeing your enemy gone is seeing one of our possible enemies gone.
The Keeper just blinked. The meanings that one message could hold were astronomical...

OOC: Sorry that I didn't respond, but no some people are starting a flamewar in the thread I made about my nation's goverment.

OOC: Axackal... you're dead, stay in character. Melkor conquered you, Helena's in exile. Remember? She fled through some tunnels in a Ferrari?

OOC: Boy, when she goes renegade she goes renegade in style.

OOC Yeah... she took her whole country with her, too. Right out from under the noses of the large Melkorian armies that she had invited in.
I was trying to help the damned 'Dark Lady' in the RP, but it just died because Axackal wouldn't respond.

To the players of Menelmacar, Roania and Tarrican, with ALL do respect...
Get off the thread and leave Axackal alone. I don't give a crap about the Melkor war. I am having an RP that I am enjoying and I am so sorry it doesn't fit your perfect little multiverse, but that's just too damn bad.

I would like to thank all the assholes who just HAD to have their say in a thread to which they didn't have any REAL need to post in and thanks to them it is now ruined. Why won't you people just shut the fuck up?!

Ah, geeze... forget this. Axackal, you are on your own. You have abandoned RPs too many times.
Bye.
