"He is under observation, we cannot risk a defection.
His signature is...erratic thus making a prediction of his actions hard.
Perhaps it would be best to capture him whilst there is time; a window of...opportunity."

"You..."
*a dark chuckle comes from a hidden face*
"I was wondering how long it would be before one of you turned up."
"Then you will come freely."
*another chuckle*
"Let me think about that, no."
"Then necessary force will be used."
*Dragonram's head turns to the side, out of the corner of his eye he can see Gray*
"You cannot use force if you cannot catch me."
*a gust of wind blows past Agent Gray*
"...Escape is impossible..."

*Dragonram swings round with his FM-1100*
"Curses..."
*five-hundred agents face Dragonram in absolute silence*
"You will come freely."
*a slight smirk appears on Dragonram's face*
"You just don't get it, do you...agent?"
"There is nothing 'to get'...program."
*Dragonram keeps the gun raised*
"It is...inevitable."
"My as--"
*Dragonram is interrupted by Agent Gray*
"It cannot be...It is her."
*every agent turns their head to the right of Dragonram*

*Dragonram keeps focus on the agents*
"What! Who is i--"
*as he turns to look he is interrupted by a heavy crash of thunder and strong downpour of rain*
"Wow...Cliché"
*Dragonram looks up to see hundreds of machine operatives staring down at him*
*he looks to see who the agents were referring to...there is no one*
"So this is how it is huh?"
*silence*
"Well...We shall just have to see won't we"
*Agent Gray looks strongly at Dragonram*
"There is no going back, program."
".....I know....."

*Dragonram stops in his tracks*

*a drop of rain slides down Dragonram's shades*
"What d'ya want then? Seems everybody's got somethin' to say these days."

Breath-taking, wonderful job!

Oh my...

#36300131331 01/01/2007 10:36:27 Re:##Machine Cycle##

It annoys me how lite you are.

#36300133525 01/05/2007 10:23:35 Re:##Machine Cycle##

"It's pretty breath-taking isn't it..."
"What is?...It's just a picture"
*Dragonram smirks, shaking his head*
"No no, you see, it's not JUST a picture. A picture has to be interpreted and have a feeling to it,
It's all very well if it looks nice, but if there is no emotion, no thought-provoking, then the picture is meaningless"
*the man with wild black hair frowns and looks at the picture again*
"Do you see it?"
*closing his eyes, the man with wild hair begins to understand and sees it all clearly in his head*
"...I--I think I get it"
"Do not think, <ERROR COLLECTING STREAMING DATA>...know"
"Okay, okay...It makes me think of everything that's happening, the horizon showing me the world has no end.
The billions of grains of sand or--or dirt representing the people a-and programs living within the world;
Sadly they cannot go beyond the horizon and are short-sighted as to what potential there is.
*Dragonram smiles slightly*
"Good, what else...what of the tree?"
"The tree?"
*the man appears stumped by this*
"I--Err"
*a revelation*
"I--I see it! It's the one thing standing so small in the distance from what we can see.
But just because we can't see what else there is..."
*a knowing pause*
"Trees can have roots that spread for miles, maybe this tree is the only thing holding all the sand together.
Standing strong through unity; for if the sand did not stay together...surely the tree would fall"
"Well, it appears you're smarter than you think. What have you learned from this?"
*Dragonram turns for the first time to face the other man*
"I--I've learned that, we cannot look at something and merely, upon first glance, make a judgement without first
making a judgement of the wider horizon...or indeed the big picture. And while we may not know it, each one of us makes a difference and has an impact upon the world around us"
*Dragonram takes a refreshing breath and smiles, sincerely for the first time in a long while*
"I'm glad to see that such a small thing has affected your understanding of the current world we live in. Even though
as you so eloquently put it...It's just a picture."
*the man turns round to smile but there is no one there*

(( Thanks for the comments thus far guys, it's nice to know you're enjoying them SMILEY

Erm, this one I'm particularly pleased with as it was made entirely from scratch, no stock photos or anything like that. Just Me, Photoshop and Brushes ))

(Gorgeous... both in description and in presentation, and yes it takes alot to do works like these without stocks and screenshots or other imported media. Well-done and radiant lighting. *saves*)

#36300390333 01/20/2008 12:03 Re:##Machine Cycle##

"Took your time... Thanks."
"It's been too long."
"Mhmm."
"So, you still our Draggy?"
"Near enough."
"DAMNIT ARE YOU STILL MY DRAGGY!?"

Gookin was worried, the message warned them he might not be the same...

"I don't think I'll be much different than before Gooky."

Dragonram could see a tear forming in the eyes of this young machinist.

"I--I..."
"If anything I'll just be a little more aggressive."
"Nothing's changed there then?"

A smile tried to work it's way to the tattooed lips of the regenerated program.

"Maybe not for you Proc."
"And just how do you intend to work your way back into our favour?"
"I don't know, yet. I was kind of hoping you could help me with that..."

The three Glitchers looked at one another.

"I want to rejoin The Glitch Society."
"Huh?"
"Woah, hold on to your bloody horses there lad."
"Drag--I can't. It's ju--"
"Think it over. You know where I am."

The glow eminated from the monitor eerily as the operative stared intently.

"Where are you going?"
"Gookin..."
"What are you looking for?"
"Gookin."
"Why are you there?"
"GOOKIN!"
"WHAT?!"
"Procurator said it's time for bed."
"He's not my father."
"Well I'm going to bed so unless you want to be unwatched I suggest you pick up the *CENSORED* phone."

*Ring Ring*

"We--"
"For the love of all that is good, Gookers, pick up the phone!"

*Ring Ring*

"Sorry Proc... I'm coming. Flare can you keep a track of him?"
"Sure can. Now c'mon."

*Ring ri--CLICK*
