Macromedia Flash Player 8 can go to hell! and Ia'sfz'ada
|
|
ROY: Lately wherever I go on the Internet I'll inevitably see my pop-up blocker keeping out an outfit called "Macromedia, Inc." for their 'Macromedia Flash Player 8,' which if you are silly enough to download without reading the EULA real carefully you will wind up with 'thrid party software' which means adware generators, spyware and possible viruses. Although the company would probably squeal with protest that they don't do things like that, I'm one of those people who take the time to read EULAs and check for certificates before I download anything from the internet. There was a version of this floating around on MySpace back in September and it had 'third-party software" bundled in with it. I reported this to MySpace at the time, and they did...nothing. Just like they have still done nothing about the spyware/adware/virus they have floating around in some of their "Spiff p MySpace with MyLook" links and pop-ups. I want to start publicizing this Macromedia thing, because it has the potential to ruin a lot of computers. Anyway, thanks for your patience, guys. HURRAIN: Thank you oh Sai Du Muxch! Look, we have a real problem with this guy Ia'sfz'ada. He is the way he is and sees nothing wrong in absorbing everything in his path. Only, wups, there goes the Outlands Community. Oopsie, there goes the solar system. He doesn't want to be changed and I can't blame him; who would want to go on after knowing they'd been permanently altered? On the other hand I can't just grab him and toss him a million light years away, he'd go right on doing what he does best, only in someone else's neighborhood. LLAM: Agreed, Dark One. Is there protection for us, or should I say, from him? DIOTH: Obviously, otherwise we'd be a memory. What did you do to him? ROY: I'm not sure, but I think I made a small universe and put him in it. LLAM: Look, you're good, but I doubt you're that good. HURRAIN: Don't underestimate him, he outmaneuvered Verd'laak. KHUOZA: Impressive I admit but not the same order. ROY: I'm...simply not afraid, is all. Whether I did or I didn't, he's wherever he is and if he's absorbed so much stuff he probably has the resources to bust outta there. SEIMA: True. RED RAIN: He is a...Watcher...but...active, not - passive and...observant. SARA: What are the chances tha he was once human? HURRAIN: !!!! LING: Really, he has two very human characteristics, he has a gender and he eats. LLAM: Never thought of that. ROY: Umm, we should talk with him again, huh?
RED RAIN: I can open a safe pathway. IA'SFZ'ADA: You have imprisoned me. I understand you seek to preserve your welfare, but I am imprisoned for being what I am, hardly a thing of justice. LLAM: We agree, but your freedom as you are now is a pledge of our destruction. So I will ask you, how would you protect yourself from yourself? If something like unto your nature came your way and was capable of absorbing you? IA'SFZ'ADA: I don't know. DIOTH: Can you be selective about what - or whom - you absorb? IA'SFZ'ADA: No. Are you going to eradicate me? KHUOZA: No, we are not. We ask, were you ever a flesh-and-blood being such as that one? IA'SFZ'ADA: I am a flesh-and-blood being. I am a genetic dead-end of several million years ago. I have the means to change my vibrationary structure. You ask...? GWENN: Yeah, because this is a dilemma, the first real moral problem I think we've faced, ever, we've imprisoned you, as you say, for our own protection, as we say. But, have you ever tried altering how and what you feed upon? IA'SFZ'ADA: No. I have never even thought of such a thing. ROY: Yet when I became aware of your presence three days ago, you could have absorbed me but you didn't. Or were you incapable of it? IA'SFZ'ADA: I could not. LLAM: Why? IA'SFZ'ADA: There is an impermeability to all of you. DIOTH: There are things which you cannot absorb, then? IA'SFZ'ADA: Yes, damn it! SARA: He's human, alright. You're human, you say. From long ago. Did you know of love? IA'SFZ'ADA: It is new to me. I think you are giving a name to your impermeability. You are all bonded somehow, to absorb one I would have to absorb all...I mean virtually everything. That I cannot do without destroying myself in the process. "KATHY:" I have run a cross two or three other beings like yourself out in the depths, and so has Alfedas. ALFEDAS: Why did you leave this planet? Why did you come back is more to the point! IA'SFZ'ADA: I had nowhere else to go. I left because i was aware of the destruction I was causing. LLAM: He's dying, we have to do something now! JENNY: Have you ever died? [sends him a packet of what she means] IA'SFZ'ADA: No. I... HURRAIN: You go to a different vibrational plane, your nature conforms to the local conditions. IA'SFZ'ADA: I am afraid! STRO MOON DAGLO: Well you should be! Red Rain, open barrier for me please. JANE: Stavros! STRO MOON DAGLO: I am here with you now. You are not alone. Take my hand. IA'SFZ'ADA: I will destroy you! STRO MOON DAGLO: No. Please, I am not afraid! [Stavros grabs the flickering form.]
IA'SFZ'ADA: I...what? I...I am so confused. HURRAIN: Welcome to the Outlands Community. You have a home, people with whom you can talk, work to do. And a chance to leave behind fear forever. Whaddaya say? IA'SFZ'ADA: Is that the form I inhabited? TERRENCE: Yes. IA'SFZ'ADA: It seems to be disintegrating, what? RED RAIN: You...just...died. IA'SFZ'ADA: But I am alive! LLAM: And always will be. Will you stay with us? IA'SFZ'ADA: Now I see. I didn't know...didn't know why I came back here. I guess i wanted to die at home. PERRY: You were LONELY. IA'SFZ'ADA; [staring at Perry] You're beautiful! SARA: Yeah, he's human alright! [hugs him] Stay! ROY: I can finally see you. My god! IA'SFZ'ADA: "God?" TERRENCE: We'll explain. Let me show you around? Good.
