The group on the strider could faintly hear an odd humming, which quickly grew in pitch and volume, until they saw a small personal plane-type craft (sans wings) hurtling across the mesa. Inside, I (Harpo) sat at the controls twisting the dual control bits, trying to regain control of the ship. I shouted to RmDir, my specially modified Finder/byte hyrid: "Hang on tight! We're gonna crash!" I started bringing the out of control ship down, and noticed the lumbering Strider just in time to twist the ship, making it crash just a hundred yards to Prankster's right. The hull of the ship semmed to sit there silently for a moment, before exploding in a huge shower of pixels and polygons.

*thinking the explosion was an attack, the strider rears up and sets it's anti-matter cannon into "online" mode*
"woah, woah. it's not attacking us! it's just a...what the heck it that?"

"That looked like one of the new transport units." Noticing the strange looks, he grins. "Hey, I am a hacker, after all."

Wait....how can you be a hacker if you're a program? *She gives him a strange look* I'm sorry, but I just don't understand.

I stumbled out of the rubble, shaking my header to clear out my AI. I glanced over at RmDir, who floated up looking a bit disoriented. "You okay?" RmDir grumbled something, which i figured meant he was fine. Then I glanced back at the Strider and saw a lot of wierd looking programs standing in front of Prankster's Strider. (at least, I guessed it was his. I didn't know of anyone else who had one.) "Hey!" I yelled. "What's going on?"

*hears harpo yelling, yells back...*
"harpo! what are you doing here?"
*a small group of Shadow ICPs break off from the main group and crawl towards harpo, hissing as thay go*
"uhh harpo. if i were you, i'd get a weapon out and prepare to fight like you've never fought before, these things are shadow ICPs, the latest update to the IC software. they are focused on derezzing programs with a derezz toll in their code. they can cloak themselves for ultimate stealth, they're thinner, faster, and then can crawl along walls and ceilings. none of us are safe! we were headed to the training facility to try to put a stop to...oh no!!"
*the main group os shadow ICPs cloak themselves then begin bounding toward the strider, without it knowing, they start climbing up it's legs...*

Holy bit... I pulled out my double meshes and started spraying fire at the strange-looking programs. The blasts had little effect though, they programs just took the hits and kept coming. "RmDir! A little help!" RmDir turned to face the programs and activated it's finder laser, opening up it's shell. Then RmDir started firing the blasts at the new ICPs.

*seeing harpo blasting away at the Shadow ICPs, prankster activates his new shoulder cannon, and prepares for the onslaught that was about to take place. meanwhile, the strider has finally come to it's senses, and is firing off both it's main anti-matter cannon, and a small hex cannon on it's nose, while skewering some others on it's spike-like legs.*
"3...2...1..."
*the first of the Shadow ICPs to reach the top of the strider's legs decloaks and is met with a ball of burning blue plasma courtesy of prankster's new weapon. he then takes out BLUE BLAZE and starts hacking away at the Shadow ICPs. he is not shooting them and slicing them at the same time...*

*Takes out a few disks, and throws them at the ICPs* TAKE THAT!!!HAHAHA! *Reaches for another handfull of disks, but realizes that she has run out.* Uh....well...unless someone can supply me with a few more disks, I think I'm done helping here...*Shruggs*

*blasts a hole in a Shadow ICP* "you lazy little wimp! here, use this..."
*hands tori his custom disk.*
"if you break that, you'll have me to answer to!"
*she chucks his disk at a shadow ICP, and while it's spinning in the air, a ring of razor sharp blades pop out of the rim with a little 'schink'. it slices through the shadow ICP and cuts it clean in half*
"wow, i didn't think it was that effective!"

several Shadow ICPs ran up to me and drew their hands back to strike me with their spiky claws, but I decided to greet them instead with my little-used mesh sword. I sciced off the first program's head, then another. the programs were getting too close for comfort, so I pulled out a small device we were all too familiar with- the Prankster gigabit.

Being in the middle of the fray all this time, with his Vert_rod rezzed up, sees the Prankster Gigabit and jumps back running. "Holy Bit! Run! Faster! Faster!"
