Six Days In Sanjii, Part Two

Wither · July 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Read it? What'd ya think of it?</div> Just read six days in Sanjii part two, and loved it. I'm looking forward to part three/the ending, or at least another story <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Who read it, what'd ya think of it?

Supernorn · July 2003

yeah read it about 15 minutes ago. Cant wait for the next part already, although i hope we wont have to wait as long as it took for part 2 to be made although I know Jeff Paris is a busy man <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Could you post a link please? I can't find it.

Once, a long time ago, I found part one, but it wasn't obvious at the time, and I don't even remember where to find it now. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Thanks,

The brutal injustice towards the kharaa >_<
Why is there no kharaa backstory?! Why do they not get any heroic stories in their name?

Besides that, it's nice.

Well, because they have no names for each other, mostly <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Beast · July 2003

Thats what you think, the TSA assume they are just random nubby creatures linked by hivemind.... I have a substantially different opinion. Why else would they be player controled instead of AI controlled?

They are sentient. They need names to communicate, but they are likely unpronouncable by the human tongue <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> - back on point- we need a little less TSA bias in my opionion for the backstory/website or something D:

Haze · July 2003

Ah, the part two is out!? *<i><u>Skips</u></i> over to the world link* YAY!

Iced_Eagle · July 2003

OMG I loved it... I hope we don't have to wait as long for part 3 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Iced_Eagle · July 2003

ur science?? but what i find cool is that someone can expand that much on the NS backround info... pretty cool

Haze · July 2003

Wow, who writes that? Man, that thing rocks. Poor Faijd..

Beast · July 2003

How do you prove ants are sentient, or are you being sarcastic :/ ?

YAY! I'm now part of the official Natural-Selection Background Story (Although it's probably only a lucky coincidence)!

Beast · July 2003

Yeah I guess.
Ps sentience = self awareness, free will and all that, Ants do NOT have free will, they are pretty much mindless "robots" "programmed" with a specific task/set of tasks. They are still pretty clever though.

I might start to work on some kharaa backstory maybe, will put my own twist on it though ^-^

Anyways, to get back on topic here bio-geeks <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

The new story really kicks boo-tay. I especially like the chilling (console <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> ) logs he reads back through, puzzling out why he is still alive but alone... awesome!

CaLFiN · July 2003

Good work <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> Enjoyed reading it, I have a bad eye today too, but it was worth the read <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Chupacabra · July 2003

It was good. But, why wasn't the Ammo Pack drop on the comm history?

RaVe · July 2003

more like why was the mine dropped without an armory <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Niiice,can't wait for the next part.I just hope it doesn't take as long as part 2 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

CaLFiN · July 2003

I'm glad some bits differed to the game, it adds more depth to the story/game.

read footnote. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

cool story <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> I was under the impression that this story has six parts in it, due to the 'six days' part of the title. That true?

CplDavis · July 2003

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>I was looking at the portly behind of some creature around the size of the largest hog there ever was, and it was hunched away from me, seemingly gorging itself on a particularly slimy and wet meal. Its body wiggled with the effort, somewhere beneath its fat, muscles strained - which is when I thought it might actually be throwing something up. Then it began, without pausing its efforts, to shuffle to the right, in a circle, its mouth stuck to the same spot, and I saw the resource node, and I saw the pile of gloop covering the node and the creature's fascinatingly agile and repulsive mouth (or the mouth inside its mouth, I couldn't say exactly): somewhere between how a spider coaxes thread from itself, and how a toddler might look with a whole jar of baby food dumped on its face.

lol This is so awsome. Ive been waiting forever for this continuation.

Evil_Sonic_Death_Monkey · July 2003

the story pwned, just like many others i've read, hope part3 doesn't take so long <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Blackout · July 2003

This second episode proactively leverages the bridge-building synergy of the first in order to further qualitize the natural-selection fiction paradigm.

I'm an illiterate so i never read it

I'm waiting for ns_sanjii <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

That_Annoying_Kid · July 2003

that would make a sweet map

I was a tad let down with the this installment of the six days in sanji

it lost the feel the first one had to it, and it didn't have the same paragraphing structure, it was more dragged out, altought it's a good job, it was kinda <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

I still can say it's a fantastic story overall

CaLFiN · July 2003

Yeh, this would be a great map... I've never seen an ice map in production yet.

Ape · July 2003

Personally I thought this story was excellent (both parts one and two). I think having a marine viewpoint makes it a lot more atmospheric, as the marines have nfi WTH is going on and try to take on the alien menace with tactics and strategy that are effective vs human opponents, but largely ineffective vs the kharra. Hopefully part three will be out shortly.

Beast · July 2003

Ice map hmm, That would be excellent.
Roll on ns_sanjii!! I would simply love an Ice map! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>*drumroll*</span>

It would be excessively <i><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:blue'>COOL</span></span></i>

*everyone dies from the sheer poorness of joke*
