DM: (Talking to Joe's Holo-Image) So you've lost the entire Watcher base?

JD: Yeah, but it was random. Somebody's put an awful lot of lines into this program, Mac. Any locks on this viral-type?

DM: Joe, I got feelers out so far, I'm close to crashing my wetware net. Wait....its Rich in Silcvalley---an old enemy of mine---an outlaw hacker named Melvin Koren. Remember the UE fooddrop of 2037? The one filled with that inert grain? His doing. His specialty. Wait... Viral-type has a label--- Cahrev 68 --- Got anything? br>

JD: Cahrev 68 is a myth, DMac. A group of hypernerds went Billy when the two hit the three zeroes. Gosp-John Reference to Final Deletion.

Cass: (Comes online) DMac, please cease search for FalseKoren TrueKronos. JDaws, CahRev 68 is no myth. Ask its programmer. Ask Methadam. Former and potential mass wetware deleter.

DM:Methadam, query on Cassaccuse massdeleter?

Methos (Appears) There were deletions. There were many deletions. There still are.

DM: Query delete total?

Methos: 10K. Negative ID on Cassvox. No file found.

Cass: Misinformed. Suggest searchfile.

(No response from Methos)

DM: Methadam---forget you know this address.

(Later)

Kronos: CahRev 68 is armed, cybrother. Fully defensible. DMac delete Y/N?

Methos: N

Kronos: Methadam prepare for purgative power surge. Total memory wipe.

Methos: Timelord query? Delete all? Delete adresses, Cy-Brute and Cas-Purge?

Kronos: If not misinformed, Ancient Destroyers surf once more. We will retain current tech-level. Rest of mundanity reduced to era of 56K Modem

DM: Jdaws and Cassvox, have audaccess to confab Timelord/Methadam.

Cass: Misinformed. ROM-erasure scenario.

DM: Affirmative. It just won't be my ROM..eeeeeeeggeteghsststttrrrrrrghhhhhh!111!!!!!!

Prog: Did I get it right, Mister Macleod?

DM: (Shakes his head) Kid, find some other way to repay your debt to me. (Staggers out)

(Kid goes to hit delete, electric shock roasts him; A voice comes from the speakers)

Kronos' Voice: Ah-Ah! Don't touch that dial!! All right, its time for some DoomQuake Deathmatches. See you round, DMac!
