Last issue, Sig Lad was poking around Netlurker's domain for an
entrance to NAIVE (New And Improved Virtual Environment) in hopes of
learning the whereabouts of Acton Lord's secret base...

We find Sig Lad already logged into the Internet...

Cyberhall
This is where all the Cyber-Portals are. These allow the crew to explore
virtual realities from a computer hook-up. Kinda far-fetched, huh?

Hallway 31
You are at the north (forward) end of a long north-south hallway. To
the north is the Lounge, to the west is the Cyberhall, and to the east
is the Cafeteria.  Obvious Exits: west, east, south, north
>go north
Lounge
This is where everyone hangs out most of the time when they're not in
Cold Storage. Couches and chairs line the rooms. You can look out the
front of the starship to the north. A bar sits in one corner of the
room.
Obvious Exits: bar, chair, couch, south

  Netlurker (sitting on a couch)
  RoboTender (defunct)
  Lerxst (sitting at the bar)
  Rawhide (in a reclining chair)

Netlurker says, "Okay...in 20 words or less: how evil are you?"
>say I'm so evil that I distibute those talking Barbie dolls that

You say, "I'm so evil that I distibute those talking Barbie dolls that
say 'Math is hard!' to young, impressionable girls!"
Netlurker grins, "Ohhh! That *is* evil...I *do* think we can use you!"
Netlurker scribbles a note.
Netlurker says, "Go see Acton Lord at this port. Tell him Netlurker sent you."
Netlurker gave note to you.
>look at note
The note says: Acton Lord's new mud.address is 127.0.0.1 port 7
>say Thanks! See you around...keep kicking those puppies!"
You say, "Thanks! See you around. Oh, and keep kicking those puppies!"
Netlurker grins: "Oh, I will..."

	Acton Lord picked up the ringing phone, "Revenge to Go: `We
Serve it Cold...'"

	"Yo, Netlurker here..."

	"Ahhh!  So you've returned to our dimension?"

	"Yeah, and I now have someone you may be interested in.  Sig
Lad is now languishing in an echo-server under my control..."

	"Oh?"

	"Yeah, he tried disguising himself on my MUD as a villain
named 'Solarmax' in hopes of infiltrating our ranks and getting to
your hideout.  However, I pulled a WHO and found he was logged in from
the 'net.heroes.legion.com' domian.  Dead giveaway...."

	"What a maroon..."

	"Exactly.  So, what do you want to do to him?"

	Acton Lord thought for a second.  Then it came to him.  "I
have a plan.  Here's what we are going to do..."
