Greetings,

Our last “joint effort” went a bit awry when things started to happen before we could plan and coordinate. You arrived a bit earlier than was expected. We had planned to take the building but arrived on recon to find it taken. We staffed and repaired it but fell to a surprise hoard within a few hours before reinforcements could arrive. Thank you Keagen for the revive by the way. In retrospect, this may have been a cleaver trap. This time I thought we could sort out a better game plan. My group has plans to move back in tomorrow at about 6pm Pacific (roughly 29 hours after this post). Do you have agents who will be operative during this time who can assist? If so, have them contact me and I can appraise them of the relevant intel prior to the strike.

Yours in science,

Albert Schwan

[Stuart Hateley]

I'll be available. See you then!

This is an open channel, so PM me with anything private.

As I am sure you have all noticed, my group has come under fire by a PKer group known as the Heathers. This is apparently my fault and I apologize to you for any inconvenience it may cause to be associated with us. It may or may not continue indefinitely, I therefore value any input you may have. I posted the following to their page that will explain things more fully

“In reference to your group’s actions I leave this sole reply and reproduce what I believe the cause for the offense. I realize that you state that contacts on this page will not be acknowledged; this suits me as I know you will read it and do not wish a reply. Yesterday, when asked to a dance by a member of your group, I declined, she responded with vandalism for which I graciously did not reprise her. She repeated this vandalism whereupon I remarked “I suppose there is no rational explanation for teen angst.” And was promptly killed for it by one of what I am told are called your “manslaves”.

Now that we understand the “offence” I would offer that my actions in no way violate civility. I was within my rights to refuse. My comment, far from being an insult, is an accurate assessment of the situation. Angst, defined as an unwarranted feeling of anxiety or apprehension covers the realm of perceived slights. The actions of your group member were clearly not rational, and should you claim that they were, I would challenge the quality of your reason. As to the term teen angst, should teen be inaccurate, for that at least I do apologize though I have heard that women are often flattered by misinterpretations of their age that ere towards youth.

That said, where do we go from here? I realize that you are a greifing organization and that attacks like the one that happened today are not likely to stop. I feel though that I may need to clear up something first. My organization is devoted to studying the rot virus. By extension, many of us are not opposed to walking among the undead from time to time; it gives us a chance to appreciate the scenery and practice our Zamgrh. If you feel the need to kill me, you will always know where to find me, which brings me to my final point.

In the interest of full disclosure I will here outline how I will deal with this situation in which we now find ourselves. I here speak only for myself as my group is composed of like minded individuals who are fully free and able to speak and act for themselves should they wish to do so. Your group is no longer welcome at Colglough and I will do my part to remove you should I find you there. Beyond this, I will not hunt you nor provoke others to do so. Your actions have made your group an object of study, so I will catalogue and publish your membership for further examination whensoere I find them. In the interest of public safety, I will report any and all attacks to the proper authorities. Just as I will not pursue you, I will not hide. Should you feel the need to kill me, do so; I will use the opportunity to study what passes for mortality in Malton more fully and will publish the name of the minion who commits the act. Neither will I surrender, as you seem so fond of asking others to do, as I do not believe we are at war. You are a greifing group identical to many others in all areas but methodology and grammar, I have therefore merely accepted the actions that are sure to follow as another of the costs of doing business in Whittenside. Beyond this, I bear you no malice, wish only the best for you and your in you pursuits, and will not further contact you. Should you wish to discuss this matter or any other with me you may do so at Colglough under banner of peace.”

There response to this has been exactly the increase in hostilities that I had expected.

If any of your group is attacked by them, please provide me with the ID or add it to my database (http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Dr._schwan%E2%80%99s_Research_and_Development_Team/PK_database) and Thank you in advance for any assistance you provide in accomplishing the multiple revives I am sure to need.

[albert]

Incidently, if any of you have fuel, there is a member of my group in need of a brainrot revive down in the hurst building. The generator is in place but needs fuel. I am currently dead and unable to accomplish the task myself.

[Keagan Funkster]

I noticed a lot of dead people inside the NT so I did what any Prick would do in that situation and suicide revived you and another member of your team with my remaining strength.

If some more Pricks hop in, the place should be cleared in no-time.

[albert]

Greeting allies.
The whittensidearea is in need of revivification services and downtown is beginning to deteriorate. I propose to strike Colglough and reclaim it at 6pm pacific time tomorrow (roughly 20 hours from this post.) as I am sure you have noticed, this plight will be complicate by the frequent PKing we are suffering lately. Accordingly, any help that you can provide to take and hold the building would be greatly appreciated. Contact me for mission details closer to the strike time if you will be available.

Yours in science,

D.S.

It would seem by this forum that I have asked a lot of you in the short time we have been allies. At this point I thought I would offer my servces. My focus as always is Colglough but untill we can stabelize this suburb, colglough is not holdable. If you need assistance that my group can provide, please let me know through PM. I am not alive for very long these days owing to the Heathering I am receiving (http://tinyurl.com/dsrdpkdb) but will do my best to coordinate efforts towards a better Whittenside when I am.

[albert]

I see that Malcolm fell last night. We have had some time to restock, so once you are ready to make a reclaiming run on Malcolm, Hurst or (dare I suggest) Colglouhg, let me know and I will coordinate some backup.

[albert]

My group, in conjunction with two of our other allied groups, is planning a strike on Whittenside sometime in the near future. We calculate that the Escape movement may provide the opportunity to set to work restoring the suburb. I am hoping to also enlist the aid of others to accomplish an organized strike aimed at revitalizing the area. I know that you are operating in Miltown but do you have any operatives in the area who would be interested in assisting? In the last month since the fort fell, Whittenside has become a hell-hole with perpetually ruined resource buildings, graffiti, and rampant PKing by (Dr. schwan’s Research and Development Team/PK database) the Heathers preventing any serious restoration of the burb. Zombie action has declined since that fall, though the PKers are still here and not likely to leave. Despite their influence, which is primarily aimed at my group, we can take back Whittenside with enough help. I do not mind remaining the target of this Heather violence but there is no reason that the suburb needs to be entirely lost because of it. For us, this is a mission of science and progress but for others it is an issue of pride. I am here posting this call to action publicly in the hopes of gathering as much aid as possible. If we can garner enough support, it may even be possible to take back the fort providing survivors with a way to minimize the tactical advantage of the zombie hoard. There are but two forts in Malton making their maintenance vital to the survivor effort as a whole. If Escape succeeds, there will be a resulting shift in the zombie survivor dynamic, during which time we will need all of the advantage we can get if we are to weather the backlash. If you are interested, please contact me on the D.S.R&D group page or in our forum so that we can plan the particulars.


Yours in science,

Actually, Dr. Albert -- TBP wants a change of scenery, seeing that our stay in Whittenside has been the longest we've ever stayed anywhere

We've decided to head up to "Escape" territory to drop some needles and generally make a mess of things up there. If you want to join us, we'd welcome the company. If not, we'll see you when we get back.

[albert]

We have a representative at that conflict. It is getting pretty ugly over there. They could dearly use some Pricks. Good luck and we hope to see you when you get back.
