The twisted minds of Ryver/Taym: (Foxfire)

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

((OOC---This is after Zett leaves Bespin.))

The Star Hunter Glided past the blue wave that was Hyper space, traveling enormous distances in seconds, yet the target planet was still days away.

Zett Rem had just left Bespin less then three hours ago, and now was in the middle of no where. He remembered Ante' the Mechanic he had hired back on Utapau whom he had now basically fired and left her with enough credits to make her way back on Bespin.

It was to dangerous to keep a civilian around whom couldn't hold her own, granted he could have used the help keeping the ship up and running, but he could manage with his droids.

That was the next thing that worried him, Ryver/Taym, the droid with Split personalities, had been showing an increase in anger and hatred for Humans ever sense the schizophrenic droid joined the crew, almost costing people there lives that where not needed to die.

Now Zett had taken at least a few minute out of every day for the past three days sense Utapau and he found the weakness in the droid. Zett had known that the droid was always emitting a Virus that was effecting all computers it came in contact with, but it wasn't until Little T6 His astromech droid discovered how Taym the brains of the two droids, was able to do so without leaving a trace. The droid along with all hackers always left a change in Binary coding after the hack or virus, That was how the change accrued.

However unlike most hackers in this case, the droid was so advanced that it was able to change but a single number to accomplish that goal, That is why most people never could tell when they had been affected or how to combat it.

That is until now, Zett had used that knowledge and was know in the process of creating a Anti Virus, capable of both cleaning, and shielding a device from the Taym virus as Zett nick named it.

However as good as that news sounded to Zett, he was also starting to think the droid was starting to turn on Zett slowly, that was a light word for the situation. The droid knew and it wasn't going to be long before they turned on Zett. That is why he had his armor off, the droids shut down, and all systems on the ship where locked out from Taym.

In truth it was fortunate Zett was still alive, why at this very moment it was likely that Ryver/Taym was on the bridge shutting down the hyper drive. At which point, Zett would be force to come out and start playing Ryver/Taym's Cat and mouse game.

He looked at the download bar on the screen he had removed the Wi-Fi from, Taym couldn't hack the console. But he was still in trouble.

Down Load: 13%
Expected time to finish: 42Minutes

This is going to be the longest 42 Minutes of my life!

[Foxfire]

Ryver did not like the place they were at ofcourse they were not blind to the goings on. On this ship and every where else beings were hunting their program and the codex they were leaving behind. The next steps of their plans were nearing completion all they had to do is wait for a certian call from the Jedi temple and Stage one of their program would be over.

With in the CPU's .......(Taym) He is still trying to hack into our over rides. Should we blow the hyperdrive fusses and revert back to normal space? (Ryver) Not yet let the fleshling think he is winning he will soon have nothing but slag. (Taym)Yes butt is it nessary to rid this body of every thing we have done? (Ryver)Have you down loaded yourself? If so then it is good, we don't want this fleshling having the original body and program. Increase internal temp to 250`. When he is about to succeed I want him to see it all fail. We shall not me made someone elses pet or foot stool. (Taym) shouldn't be then be in the bridge making sure that he doesn't win.? I know you said that is where he would assume we would be but still, obvious tech rules are often the simplest to avoid. (Ryver)That is why I have the remote bot there to give the bag of bones some thing to worry about.

As sure as night in the black the hover bot was tinkering with the switches and nobs doing minor repairs. The only thing it did not mess with was the change to the incendary device attached to a collection of fusses that ran the hyper drives. It was counting down the minutes till it was to remotely detonate it and it'sself. This day was going to go very bad for any flesh and blood being. Yet as with all droids and programs it was another day off line.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

Zett was now slightly sweating. He knew what the droid was capable of but not why the droid hadn't begun with what it's over all plan was.

It already occurred to Zett that the droid would be thinking he was inside the droids head by now, but Zett was already a step beyond that, he knew hacking into Taym by himself would be impossible. That's why he was going to have Taym do it for him.

Zett smiled the brilliant plan was all but ready,
Beep...Beep...Beep..., Scratch that the plan was ready.
Zett removed the data disc from the hard drive, in it safely sat the Taym, Anti Virus. With it Zett would not only be able to wipe the virus from his ship, suit, and droids, but the first copy had a far greater purpose.

With that Zett moved to look at the progress bar again,

40 minutes to expected finish.

Great, That means for the next 40 minutes the ship is completely at Ryver/Tayms controlls.

Zett shook the thought, then a new one popped into his mind,
I don't care if they can Hack it, Put the suit on any way you idiot. Going into a fight without armor is one thing, going into a fight before hand without Armor is scuicsidle.

Zett shook his head, the armor would be next to useless against the droid, one thing that Ryver relied on was out gunning there opponent(s), Taym on the other hand relied on out smarting them. What neither knew was that Zett had a pure fixed copy of a Anti Virus that the Taym Program couldn't block out, bypass, or hack around. Next was the fact that Taym had never experienced a computer he couldn't hack, Zett smiled at the effects that would have on the droids circuits. Next and Zett's personal Favorite was that Taym thought he was smarter then anything and anyone, that right there proved he wasn't, after all someone Had to have created the droid and whoever he was must have been smarter. Then the final thing he had to count on.
He pulled the illegal Pistol out of his pillow, one hit from this would be enough to shoot through the droids armor and come out the other side twice. That is if he charged the shot.

Zett moved out into the hall way after taking a long breath, it occurred to him that his cabin was still lit yet the rest of the ship was pitch black. That was proof that the Anti Virus had been working all along, Taym didn't know his lite was still on because to the droid the Anti Virus area was black.

Zett smiled at himself,
Ya know...nobody in there right mind would have left that room.

Well then, it's a good thing I'm not in my right mind, after all I'm right handed, every body knows righties use the left side of their brain the most.

Zett rolled his eyes at himself.

Now you're talkin' to yourself.

I told you that would happen when you got rid of all human life on this ship.

Shut Up!
Zett had clearly spent way to much time with Halc.

Zett had made his way to the bridge as predicable as a move as that was, when he got there however he saw only the little sphere droid that Ryver/Taym owned. But if the real droid wasn't up here, then, they weren't in full control of the ship after all. At any rate the little droid was so for good measure he shot the droid that still hadn't noticed his soundless steps. It fizzled out after a small explosion.

Zett contemplated the areas the droid would want to be now, the engine room was the only real place that had anything spacial beside the main room, which he had passed on the way, and sense that area didn't have any wall's he would have known if the droids was there.

He thought yet again,
C'mon, where are you, you little over sized brain!

[Foxfire]

With a pop and a fizzle the remote droid died, yet as it died it quietly activatd the dead droid switch that the detonator had with the droid. Ten seconds later the detonator heated up and over loaded the fuses and melted the board they were connected too. At the time of the untimely death of the droid, Ryver's connection broke and they moved to stage two of the final waking. Moving over to an outer hatch of the cargo bay after sealing it off from the rest of the ship they prepped for space, activating their mag foot locks.
-
The ship suddenly dropped out of hyperspace and reverted back to normal space and speed. They popped the hatch and let the cargo empty of it's breathable air. When the wind storm of the venting had slowed they climbed the ladder and walked towards the external satilite. They direct wired the sat and waited. Itwould not be to long now for the final signal to start stage three of the waking. Taym wondered truly if the human below fully understood what was going to happen not likely. Most humans thought of the now and not about the far future.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

Zett heard the cargo bay being vented. Ryver/Taym was going out side.

Zett grabbed a breath mask and grabbed the data disc setting up the Anti Virus. With one minor adjustment, one that Taym couldn't account for, Taym didn't even know Zett had the Anti virus. The droids thinking was that Zett wasn't able to comprehend the tech. But in reality he knew several ways to defeat the droid now, however only one that would benefit him both now and others across the galaxy later. And that was the only one that would work from outside the ship as well. He was going to blast the droid well knowing that the droids brain would still be working for a few seconds after death, sending out to as best as Zett could guess a new body. But with those few vital seconds he would use the Anti virus to make minor adjustments to the droids programs. Namely the urge to destroy all life would never enter into the droids thoughts again, the second was that he had given the future Taym more control then Ryver. It now wasn't 50/50 between the droids, but Taym had 60% control and Ryver would have 40%. The reason Zett was doing this was simple, Taym didn't like violence, so it would be longer off before the two would try to kill innocents.

Zett took a deep breath, locked the mask on his face, double checked the data disc, and asked himself,

OK every thing ready?

No wait i think i left something.

No I'm not going back.

Then yeah, totally ready.

I'm procrastinating out of fear ain't I?

Yup!

Note to self...no more talking with Halc.

He tethered himself to the ship and unlocked the the door he was almost swept into space but he kept feeding the line and kept approaching the door leading out....out....out....into space. He then re-tethered himself with a second cable and unhooked the first one letting it drift still attached to the inside of the ship.

He climbed up with little effort to the top of the ship and caught himself before missing the mark and floating on. He hit the haul of the ship without noise. But he imagined that the sound was heard on the inside of the ship, then he pulled the deadly pistol and charged it, The gun was normally able to fire only six high powered shots, but when charged it combined the power of all six shots into a single blast.

The sound of the charge was unheard, but Zett could feel the illegal gun vibrate in his hand. Then he raised the blaster, Zett would have one shot at this, and mused. Even Ryver/Taym, with all there might and modifications couldn't hear him in outer space.
That was half of their strength, hearing, it was as if they where blind now. But again they hadn't expected Zett to fallow them out here.

Zett released the Anti Virus, and in his mind felt sorry for the droid, in their mind he knew what was going on, the corrupted droid was feeling for the first time in their life what would be considered and described only as.....pain. Only for a few seconds would the pain be there but that time was multiplied by billions for droids, Zett had to take his only shot now.

The weightless gun fired a soundless bolt heading for the helpless droid, Zett reloaded in case the shot would miss is target which was unlikely.

((OOC---me and foxfire have been over this, but to keep from godmoding i wont make the shot hit. lol))

[Foxfire]

(occ-to all readers and mod's this is not the death of my droid so please read fully the thread before baring judgement of this char's staus.)


As the coms came to life a ping from a nearby nav-sat with in that transmission was piggy-backed a two bit code. The codes origin was the sat not passed on by anything else of the verse web. It was the code they had waited for some time. quite quickly their internal workings started to heat up even though the coollet systems were trying to keep up.

So when the blast from Zett's weapon hit them in the back it dmade the cooling process to burst. The blood red coolent liquid gushed from the exit wound and sprayed out any over pressure flow check point, which was mainly from it's valves around the head. Even in death Ryver/Taym never went softly. The blast hole made the heating process quicken. Taym tried to keep the body going but Ryver tried. She couldn't for the blast had hit one of the processor centers and the main hard drive information. Taym had worried what it would be like but the process was not as bad as they had thought. Yes the mechanical pain was their but shutting down those receptors and it was just another melt down.

As the final moments for Taym were upon him he noted a secondary program trying to take over and counter act against him. He saw Zett's hand in it. So rerouting and opening up the the nav-sat Taym let the program have it's way. Taym's final moments were glithings of a chess match with no end or winning out come.

The physical end of the droid was not very pretty the droid had slumped over. Cylicone and metal started to grow out of the melting droid. Like some fungs parasite it grew and cooled as each system slagged. It hands clamped down onto the ship and held fast as for it's head it slowly drifted away and then exploded as it's self destruction program came online. Only the outer shell of the droid and the legs were left. The micro repulsors and the weapon systems popped and snapped fragging in their own way when the power flow surged through them. What ammo was left in the forarm guns fired off and exploded in their clips.

Five minutes later the fire works was over and the first stage of Ryver/Taym died. Yet that was not the end of Ryver/Taym. A hidden stary black intersteller sloop was keeping it's distance watching the event on the outside of the ship. A slinder blood gold droid hand reached to cut the visual of the death of the former Ryver/Taym. The auto piolet spoke up.....

Shall we go now? They are no longer functionable.

Sitting up into the starry light a sith assassin driod face was lit.

Yes let's. Mark Zett Rem on the hit list he will want to hinder us in the future. We shall not have it nor let this fleshy have his way. Taym. Make way to the outer rim of Zoist we have a Sith to talk too. Maybe he'll be better suited to have as a partner than this fleshy.

The Auto pilot blipped an agreement and off into the blackness of space ran Ryver/Taym 2.0. The second stage has started and the rebelion of the droids is just starting to get underway.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

Zett watched the droid as it died, Zett had grown rather fond of the droids at least the Taym half. But now Zett was a threat to the droid as he knew that Ryver/Taym refused to stay dead for long.

Zett now powered the anti virus on-line and let it tap into the same line that the first Taym was using, Zett Had no H.U.D so he would only be able to hope that the Anti virus would latch into the Real virus and fallow cleaning what ever would be ruined.

The Anti Virus had but three purposes, the first was if it ever caught up to the real Taym, it would stop him from thinking of the same thing ever again. But that was the most unlikely, the second was to clean systems that might be infected by Taym, he knew it would work because it was in truth a modified Taym, One that Zett knew he could control. The third was to protect against Taym breaking into certain servers, without him noticing.

The draw back was that it would take Hundreds of years to complete the task, And even longer to wipe every trace of the Taym virus forever, if it even was able to do that.
Zett imagined someday the Taym Virus and the Anti Virus meeting and a internal battle that would go on forever and no one would ever know the deference.


So...
You just saved the entire galaxy
But no one will ever know, and you won't be around when the Virus completes it's task.
Fun times.


Zett returned to the inside of the ship and closed the cargo hold blast door, then allowed the thirty seconds for the air to filter then removed the mask and made his way to the bridge, he took two data discs from his pocket, the first held the Anti virus, the second held a rough copy of the Taym Virus.

This will never be safe and even destroying it won't get rid of the virus, it would just jump to the nearest wi-fi link.

Carbon freeze....He thought and nodded. Then the Anti virus he would down load it into every system he owned including the droids, that would make him next to invisible and untraceable to Taym, for a while at least, on Top of that Taym won't be able to touch any of his Systems without picking up the anti virus and basically helping Zett's cause.

He looked down at the console noticing the main control panel being completely melted away, Zett clenched a fist looking at the remains of the sphere droid that he blasted knowing that was the cause of this problem.

He would have to make a uncalibrated jump to the nearest planet, He pulled up the Galaxy map and selected the nearest system...Bogden!

THE END....
CONTINUED ON NOMADS LAND!
