080 - The Master of WIN. [VOICE]

[soundof_drums]

[Oh, he sounds so smug. Although this is a public voice entry, it's clear that he's directing his comments to one person. Or a Collective. In this case, it's about the same thing.]

Let's try this again, shall we?

I am the Master. You will obey me.

Now, I could order you and your drones to stand down, but that isn't any fun for, ohhh, any of us! So allow me to assign you a new primary objective:

Kill each other.

Entertain your Master.

[EDIT:]

[About ten minutes after the Master's villainous announcement, there's a mechanical whirring and sputtering sound, a brief screech of feedback, and silence. The Borg no longer have the order to kill, so now they're cut off from the Queen AND without orders. SUCKS TO BE THEM!]

[OOC: Here's the haps: The Nerd Log is going to take way too long to get off the ground, and I'm impatient to get things moving again. So, all of the events in the log will play out backdated, but for now, the plan of action has begun. HERE'S HOW THIS POST WORKS:

As of right now, there is a hypnotic frequency that's hitting the Borg ONLY, and it's likely been broadcasting since the TARDIS landed in the Dining Hall, as it would've needed time to get into the Borgs' heads. Once the Master puts up an edit, he'll cut off the connection with the Queen, but for now, you can assume the Borg may be attacking one another (that's up to Borg players). Other characters can respond to the Master's voice post here, and the Borg can be all "DDDD:" in it, too, if they had anything to say.

Once their connection with the Queen is cut off, it's my understanding that the Borg will be very anguished and traumatized. They won't be back to normal, but they won't be a threat anymore, either.

Now, there's going to be a concurrent log up, for people to get their groups together, go in to fight the Queen/hack the system, help the confused Borg, ETC. Oh, and also: Make the Master undo his own damage.]

If you won't stop it, then I will. I know how this machine works too, after all.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Do you think I was foolish enough not to be very thorough in my specifications?

They'll only respond to my voice. You turn the machine off, and they go back to Assimilating the lot of you.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

And what happens when one Borg remains? It'll go after us. The Borg may try to kill each other but there will eventually be one remaining. Maybe it's the Queen, maybe it's someone else. But there will be a victor. And what would stop the victor from assimilating all of us?

You do know that you have two other people here with the same voice as you. I can just get Sam to tell the machine to turn off.

REDUNDANT MASTER. Edited for less "DOCTORRR"s

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Uhhh, mind control? Come along, Doctor, keep up.

It isn't the same at all. Oh, there are superficial similarities, but you know as well as I the nuances of sound. You know... I'm disappointed in you. I would think that you'd have cared enough about your fellow shipmates to attempt bargaining.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

It won't work. You know that it won't. There will be some flaw, something that the Queen can exploit.

Honestly, I doubted that you were smart enough to program the mind-control device that well.

I do care. What do you want?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Well, I had assumed that some clever bunch of you would go after her in this moment of weakness. But that's too much to expect from the little apes, isn't it? Regardless, the trauma of killing one another... oh, I wonder how long that will last.

Come on, Doctor. Hypnotism has always been my speciality. Remember all the little tricks I showed you at the Academy?

I want my freedom. Give me the TARDIS.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

We were planning something, Master. I trusted you, obviously something that I won't do again. Besides, these are people. They might be Borg, but we can fix that. They don't need to kill each other. Surely there's someone on the Barge that you care about that's a Borg. Think on it. A friend, a warden...your wife. Isn't she a Borg?

I remember.

Show me the mind-control device first. Then we'll talk.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Oh, Lucy? Probably. I never bothered to check.

I am saving you, you know. Just doing it in my own special way.

Why? So you can work out a way to reverse its effects? I don't think so, Doctor.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to hear that you're such a caring husband. Stop this. Now.

Why Master, I didn't know you cared so much.

I don't want to reverse the effects. I just want to see how you did it.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Well, she's probably bald now. I have no desire to look at that.

While I have the device, I have the power. I won't let you take this away from me, Doctor.

The TARDIS. Give her to me, if you wish to stop this.

he's totally gonna try to punch the Master when that loser walks in the TARDIS. :D

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

...fine. Only if you bring the device with you.

LOOOLLL. Jackman's going to intercept him, but you're still free to punch away after

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Oh, but if I take it with me, you wouldn't have anything to stop the Borg with after I leave.
