Day 6

i awake today with a certain sense of excitement....some very strange things occurred yesterday.....hopefully those problems are behind me.

Today was going to be a day of testing, pushing to see just exactly what i could and could not do (ie get away with). With that in mind, i visited the Deitide open area, on a theory i had developed and was proving........seems we banes can walk on some "private" property....as i stayed in deitide for approx 20 mins before making my way to castle darkstone where i had the unfortunate experience of someone trying to push me into a cage....after avoiding that, i continued onto darkstone where i entered a building that did not have a "floor" but that turned out to be a trap floor......which i got caught by.....and the violations started. I tried to wait the trap out, let it time out, but after 4 violations (separated by a very peculiar message - Custodian: : Security compromised. Unknown protocol. : - which i didn't notice until arriving in Zhora) i decided discretion was the better part of valour and left, back to deitide......and so began what was to become probably my most heavily punished day of my banishment....

Another maintenance required, another trip back to KTech......which seemed to be a popular place today....there being several people gathered by the public building.....talking, and i couldn't help myself, i got to within hearing distance, knowing that staying here too long would result in punishment, but doing it anyway. After listening for 15 minutes, a few banes appeared around the place, i decided to go "visit" one....walking right up to it, feeling decidedly care free and rebellious, i soon got a violation, quickly followed by a second, and a third as i had turned to walk away...

Heading back to the public building, i noticed the tell tale monitoring light come on and decided that is was time to really test out my Custodian.....see what it was capable of once and for all......i giggled, emoting it.....as i stood next to a civilian, which earned me the first of many violations i was soon to receive.......when suddenly my custodian spoke to me......in disbelief that i would dare emote, having already suffered the consequences of trying to communicate in this way....which only spurred me on.....i laughed, Custodian suggested i behave as i know i should, to which i emoted back that i didn't know, and bam......a punishment for a communicating attempt violation........ which was followed by 3 more violations for the same reason, all the while being chastised by my Custodian until i stopped emoting....and my Custodian warned me that this would not go well when my update was received......which i knew already, but was ignoring it today.....

Still in the mood i was in, i continued to listen to the conversation going on near me, which incurred more berating by the Custodian, to which i mainly ignored apart from the emote to tell it i knew i shouldn't be listening, getting myself another communicating violation, laughing to myself at it's feeble attempts to get me to "behave", it went as far as to take away my sight for a short amount of time.....

At this stage, one of the gathered civilians took an interest in me, in my brazenness to stand there listening to them talk......it was also at this stage that the voice in my head changed, i think it was even trying to "help" me....though i must say it went unnoticed by me at this stage and i kept on listening, even waving and blowing a kiss to the civilian that was looking at me, which seemed to shock her causing her to wonder if i had started to go crazy, or become suit dependant (which may have not been far from the truth, as outsiders would see it anyway). At the same stage, my Custodian had resorted to what seemed like tormenting me...until i moved closer to the civilian and received another contact violation.......which was followed by a very weird, definitely not normal, message from the Custodian....but that was when i stopped my, some would say insanity, i like to call it rebelling, period.....and left to a secret location, not far from the KTech facility......

I was still receiving messages from my somewhat strange sounding Custodian......which i finally worked out was not quite normal.........but decided i better log for the night, lest i return to my bad ways and get any more violations on top of the many i had received (22 at last count) already today.....and after a few more "helpful instructions" from my strange sounding Custodian......i logged.......44:50 done, 23:50 to go....

Day 5

Logged on today in the middle of Zhora, there were a few banes present and i foolishly walked right up to one, and sure enough received a proximity violation. I moved away immediately, but apparently onto the spot that the KTech LM points to, as 2 popped right on top of me, and yes, this time contact violation ensued...so i bit the bullet and walked up to the other end of the area, well out of range of civilians and other banes that were around. I then found myself wasting time while putting off contacting my Operator. About 5 mins later, Operator Sabra TP'd me to her. I had some questions regarding my Custodian, thinking that maybe it had a slight malfunction.....after obtaining a report from it, Operator Sabra informed me that indeed everything was in order. I also asked about how i was supposed to be punished whenever i entered a building or private residence, but as yet, had not received any such violations. I decided to take things into my own hands and walked into my Operators house, where not 30 seconds later, there she was, that mechanical voice in my head telling me that i was not allowed to enter buildings...and that would be one more contact violation thank you very much ;-/

After we both moved outside, my Operator warned me not to take this lightly, not to deliberately cause violations and telling me that she would be keeping a closer watch on my movements.....this awakened my mischievous side, and for some reason, i found myself, teasing her, saying how i knew some sneaky ways to get around her trying to keep a closer eye on me........this went on for some 10 minutes until i could no longer hold back....and started to emote....knowing full well that it is the worst thing a bane can attempt to do, but nonetheless doing it, even while Operator Sabra was cautioning me not to!! And surely enough, soon i received an attempting to communicate violation, all the while smiling to myself inside my helmet while hearing Operator Sabra's slightly garbled speech telling em that i may be becoming a troublesome case for her.....and knowing that yes, i could become very troublesome indeed........

Looking back, this was probably the time that something happened inside my helmet, specifically with my Custodian....maybe i overloaded it, who knows......what i do know, is that i then TP'd to KTech, where at first, i could walk around, however the Custodian was no longer repeating what people were saying to me, i was just getting a whole lot of " ... "'s, i sat down, and then remembered about the Maintenance message i got while with Operator Sabra, so i stood up, used auto-pilot (Go to) to move to the Maintenance station and then went to walk in......but hang on, i can't move....(one minor panic attack later).....hang on.....this might just be an anomaly i can fix.....after several attempts ((re-logs)) with no change, i was saying to myself "OK, ok, no need to panic (yeah right, who am i trying to kid here???)....so luckily, i still had Operator Sabra's TP details in the chat history which i used to go back to her house to wait for her to come online.....and faded out for a short while......
