Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

She's only going to be poking it a little longer, until the hornets stop buzzing around in a frenzy and start thinking about getting organised.
Then she'll think about her next move.
She actually arranged it so the only bit of usable audio (with the video fuzzed beyond restoration) is of him asking, "You gonna fight me?"

Oh, he had a helmet cam.
Past tense very appropriate, there.
Exactly correct.
Nope. Morrigan leaned into the Matrix and said, "Helmet breaks, head doesn't."
"I've decided to remove the vulnerabilities this has revealed to me."
"Yeah? How?"
"Don't get punched by Morrigan."

As far as I can understand, they're used in situations where "we can't go any further in this matter unless you sign this NDA". If you refuse, then everything cuts off there. You literally don't learn any more about the situation.

They flat-out told her that they had her prints on the phone, and they knew it had been opened.
When you are 'given' clothes (she insisted on that bit) then phones are a potential accidental inclusion.
Even the PRT can't push too much on that side of things, especially with how bad Sophia...

Plus a whole new personality, and any skill she wants, on call (literally).
"I need to be able to rewire a microwave oven into the trigger for a nuclear bomb."
Loki: "Are you messing with my head right now?"
Well, it's not like she's aware while she's being Mastered.
And in the one instance so far, she blanked out in the Locker and woke up in her own bed, clean and safe. That's gotta be a bonus for her.
Wow.
I just looked up the term.
Talk about hijacking something cool.
Well, I can say about it is that when I put it in the fic, I specifically mean it in the context of the Matrix and nothing else.
