And now for your check ups...

Nice to see you again, Zehvor, and thanks! Sorry if this chapter is hard to read. (Although you've probably read it before.) Just try to get your translators and translation stones straight. It's probably going to be a bit confusing! CHAPTER FIVE Last time on Bionicle: Mission Space, the crew of the Flying Madu were attacked inside their spaceship by four tyrannic, treacherous, terrifying, terrible skrall!BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!Lewa: What was that?Kopaka: It was coming from the air lock.BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!(Four Skrall walk into the control room. One of them has scraps of broken air lock on his razor shield.)Skrall 1: Surrender! We have you surrounded on four sides! If you move we will destroy you!Gaaki: Hahli! Take the robot's translating device!Hahli: But it doesn't have Crazish programed in! In might be able to translate a bit though. Not very well...(Hahli turns on the translator.)Skrall 1: I said not to move!Translator: I tried not to groove!Hahli: Good for you. Gaaki, Gali, let's combine our water and drive them out of here!Skrall 2: Don't speak!Translator: Geek speak!Hahli: How dare you! I speak normally! Don't I, Jaller?Skrall 2: What did I say?! If you have to speak, speak Agorian! Not this gibberish!Translator: What does he matter? If you have to speak, speak to me! Not to that gibbon!Hahli: You called Jaller a gibbon! Now you're in for it...Skrall 3: Krocachers! Hand me my translating stone!Translator: Kick her! Hand me my trashing stone!Hahli: Like you can kick me...Skrall 4 (His name is Krocachers, by the way): Here you go.Translator: Hear that goat?Hahli: Me a goat? Look who's talking!Translation stone: Eat a goat! That's who's talking!Skrall 1: You want to eat goats eh? Get her, boys! Beat her up!Translator: Want to eat goats? Yeah! Better boys, eat her up!Hahli: They're going to eat me! Jaller! Save me! (Pretending to be weak and helpless.)Translation stone: They're really dead meat! Pee! Jaller! Brave them!Skrall 3: Attack!!! Get the blue one!Translator: Attack!!! Get the goo one!Jaller: That's it!!Translation stone: You #@#%/!!(All the Skrall turn towards Jaller.)Skrall 4: Kill him!!(Skrall 2 brings up a razor shield to destroy Jaller.)Hahli: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!(Skrall 2's head lands on floor.)Hahli: Oops.(Skrall 4 shoots Hahli with a thornax, Hahli falls unconscious.)Gaaki: Attack! Kopaka! Hewkii! Gali! Fight!(Kopaka freezes Skrall 3.)(Skrall 1 cuts off Hewkii's leg.)(Gali knocks out Skrall 1.)(Skrall 4 wounds Kopaka.)(Lewa knocks out Skrall 4.)Lewa and Gaaki: Are you okay Hewkii?(No response.)Gaaki: Where does it hurt?(No response.)Gaaki: If you tell me what's wrong I can try to fix it!(No response.)Gaaki: Do you need a band aid?(No response.)Gaaki: HEWKII!Next time on Bionicle: Mission Space:What will happened to Hewkii? Is he dead? Or alive? Or mortally wounded?What about the Skrall's reinforcements?What will they do with the unconscious skrall?Word count: 357

Regarding Westarhk not being aware about a widget transfer: I would not make such assumptions.

CHAPTER THREE In the last chapter of Bionicle: Mission Space, a meteorite storm struck just when the Flying Madu ran out of power:Vezok: Yesssss! Me and Kardy will stay together forever!(A few minutes later they are both in the airlock with air tanks.)Hakann: Bye, bye! We might miss you!(Hakann opens airlock manually for lack of power, Vezok and Kardas float off in space...)BOOOOOM! BOOOOM!All: The meteorite storm!!!!Gaaki: We're doomed! Without power, the shields won't turn on! We'll be smashed to pieces!BOOOOOOOOOOM!Lewa: Ever since I saw that dragon I knew we weren't going to have a happy-fun time...BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!CREAAK HSSSSSssssssssHakann: The space ship is being torn apart! We won't stand a chance! Everybody go back to your bunks! We might as well die sleeping...Jaller: No! Go to training room! We should die fighting!Lewa: Or the kitchen! We could eat dieing! I mean die--BOOOOM!! BOOM!Hakann: So it's decided. To your bun--BOOM! BOOOOOM! CRUUNCHH!!!(All crew go to bunks.)(Kopaka walks into his bunk and remembers the object hidden in his pillow...)(Kopaka runs into Hakann's bunk room.)Kopaka: Hakann!BOOOOM! CRACCCK!Kopaka: I know how we can survive this storm!Hakann: (From under the covers.) Don't bother me! I'm trying to sleep!Kopaka: My iBrick! If I take the battery from it and take the battery from Hahl-Hakann: YOOOUR IBRICK?!! YOU HAVE AN ELECTRONIC ONBOARD?! MY CHIEF MISSIONS ADVISOR! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELF! YOU ARE A-- Wait? Did you say you had batteries? Quick! Bring me them!(Kopaka gets his battery from his iBrick in his pillow case and heads toward Hahli's bunk.)Kopaka: Hahli! I need the battery from your-BOOOOOOOOM!Hahli: My what?Kopaka: Your--BOOM! HSSSssssss!Hahli: WHAT?Kopaka: Your iBrick!Hahli: Oh no you don't! Last time you took my iBrick you threw it on--BOOOOOOOM!(Kopaka grabs Hahli's iBrick, takes the battery, and throws the iBrick on the floor.)Kopaka: So much for the Flying Toasters...(Kopaka runs to Hakann's room.)Kopaka: Hakann!! Here are your batteries!Hakann: My Ba--BAMMM! KABBBBOOOM!(Hakann takes the batteries and runs to the control room. A few minutes later...)Computer: Powered restored. Auto activation of shields commencing.Krika: [control do you read me? This is Delta control do you read me? This is--Hakann: Yes, I read you. You're very angry, and you're thinking about Gorast--Krika: [How'd you know? And where did you get more power? And what happened to your engines? I've been trying to contact you for ages!]Hakann: It's not my fault! I carefully inspected all the packages! I just missed one!Krika: [What are you talking about?]Gali: He killed Tahu!! He killed Tahu!!Krika: [Hakann! How could you? You signed the friendliness to toa act! I saw you!]Hakann: No! It wasn't me! It was the dragon!Krika: [Dragon indeed! I deem you mentally insane!]Hakann: But there was a dragon! I saw it!Krika: [You are unfit for command. As Chief of Delta Control, I am demoting you to the new Janitor, and placing Gaaki in comand!]Kopaka: We've made it out of the meteorite storm! And just in time! We are running out of battery power!Hakkan: But wait! I can explain!Krika: [Go ahead, but I can't-- (Static.)(All electronics shut down.)Hakann: NOOOOOOOO!Gali: Maybe I should have said “the dragon” instead of “he.” Oops.Hakann: (Starting to cry.)

There's a planet to our left!On the next chapter of Bionicle: Mission Space:What is this strange planet?And what of Gaaki's new leadership?Word count: 524Please point out typos! Comments welcome as always. CHAPTER FOUR In the last chapter of Bionicle: Mission Space, Hakann had lost his leadership and a strange planet was spotted: Kopaka: We've made it out of the meteorite storm! And just in time! We are running out of battery power!Hakkan: But wait! I can explain!Krika: [Go ahead, but I can't-- (Static.)(All electronics shut down.)Hakann: NOOOOOOOO!Gali: Maybe I should have said “the dragon” instead of “he.” Oops.Hakann: (Starts to cry.) Mommy!

I'm in charge now aren't I?Kopaka: I don't know about this... It looks very bare, and there seems to be a lot of magna on the crust...Gaaki: I name it Barren Magnus! We shall land at once!Lewa: How? We don't have any power!Kopaka: I don't think we have much of a choice about it anyway as-Gaaki: Oh? I'm in charge and I'll say whether or not we have a-Kopaka: As I was saying, we don't have a choice. We're already being pulled in by its gravity! It's going to be a crash landing!Gali: (Faints.)Gaaki: But if we crash there, we'll never be able to repair the ship! It's almost certainly lifeless!Kopaka: I think our fate is in the hands of Mata Nui now. We're going doooooooown......On “Barren Magnus,” in a large stone arena...Ice tribe leader: The tribe with the winning glatorian will gain control of the Coxvent river... and the losing tribe will receive 200 thornax fruit! Let the game begin!Jungle tribe leader: Bring in the targets!(Two giant stone things that resemble canisters are rolled in.)Ice tribe leader: Let in the glatorian!(Two stone doors slide open inside the arena and a white and a green glatorian walk out.)Jungle tribe leader: Three... two... one... attack! For victory! For glory! For power!(The green glatorian fires and misses.)(The white glatorian fires and hits the target.)Ice tribe leader: Negative one life point for the jungle tribe!(The green glatorian fires and hits the white glatorian.)Jungle tribe leader: Negative two life points for the ice tribe!(The white glatorian fires and hits the green glatorian.)Ice tribe leader: Negative two life points for the jungle tribe!(The green glatorian fires and misses.)(The white glatorian fires and hits the target.)Ice tribe leader: Negative one life point for the jungle tribe! That brings us to one point left for the jungle tribe and three points left for the ice tribe. It looks like we're-- (At this time, he chances to look up, and sees something falling very fast towards the arena.) AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!(The Flying Madu comes crashing down, landing on the white glatorian.)Jungle tribe leader: (Peering into the dust and seeing only one glatorian.) It looks like we've won! Victory for the Jungle Tribe!Inside of the Flying Madu:Gaaki: Is everyone alright? I think we're safe now. I just hope there's oxygen on this planet... I'll take attendence. Jaller?Jaller: Here.Gaaki: Hewkii?Hewkii: Here.Gaaki: Pohatu?Pohatu: Here.Gaaki: Lewa?Lewa: Not here.Gaaki: (Rolling eyes.) Boys.

I'm going to send the robot out to check the planet's atmosphere. Robot?(A larger, newer, equipped-for-space, and black-instead-of-red version of Maxilos walks into the control room.)Robot: How may I help you Miss Gaa-ki?Gaaki: Check the conditions outside the spaceship.Robot: I o-bey.(The robot walks out of the air lock.)In the arena, a large crowd of agori have gathered marveling at the “The Thing That Fell Out of the Sky and Killed That Glatorian.”(The robot climbs out of the ship and down the ladder to the floor of the arena.)Robot: Scan-ning en-vi-ro-ment. ... Life com-pat-ti-ble.Agori 1: It talks!Agori 2: Not in Agorian though. It's gibberish!Agori 3: Maybe it speaks Rockish!Agori 4: It killed the Strakk we hired!

Mal-fu-- (The robot collapses.)Inside the Flying Madu...Gaaki: It's been awhile, and I thought I heard something crash outside. Jaller, could you put on your oxygen tank and check it out?Hahli: Could you send someone else? Not Jaller?Gaaki: OK, Hahli could you go and check it out?Hahli: I didn't mean me!(She goes away, puts her oxygen tank on, goes out the airlock, climbs down the ladder, and finds herself in an arena with a broken robot and a bunch of angry agori.)Agori 2: Hey look! There's another one! Let's kill this one too!Hahli: What are these things? They look sort of like matoran but they don't speak it...Agori: Kill it! It killed the Strakk!(The agori throw rocks at Hahli.)Hahli: Wow. They're stupid. (She makes a tidal wave sweep them all to the side of the arena.)Agori: Help! It's magical!Green glatorian: Never fear, I am hear! (He shoots a thornax at Hahli, which hits her in the face.)Hahli: How dare you hit a ga-matora... I mean toa! (She fires a blast of water so hard that the force knocks the glatorian out.) Oops. Now, does anybody here have an iBrick? Oh, I forgot. You're a primitive, barbaric, tribal, uncivilized, low tech, society that doesn't even speak matoran! (She walks back into the space ship, dragging the robot behind her.)Gaaki: How'd it go?Hahli: Fine, just a bunch of crazy matoran who speak jibberish.Gaaki: Wait a sec. If they were “just” crazy matoran, what happened to the robot?Hahli: Who knows? A faulty circuit?BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!Lewa: What was that?Kopaka: It was coming from the air lock.BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!(Four Skrall walk into the control room.

Yes, the attacking country would know.

Another one of my sister's posts came through, but it looks like nobody (including me) saw it. Processing weapons business purchase.

Creating a home business costs 150 widgets. Misread your post, sorry. Processing.200 - 150 = 5050 - 22 = 2828 - 2 x 8 = 12 widgets remainingFor the record, unless citizens specify that they wish transactions to be pre-approved, I will assume otherwise. (Think of each sale as a trade of an item for a certain amount of widgets, just as any citizen, businessmatoran or not, can do. Both citizens have to agree on the trade, unless one has pre-approved all trades with those terms. Businessmatoran do not posses any special abilities besides being able to create the item known as a business, which in turn allows them to research and produce other goods.)

The businesses you see are those you get; I have no plans for making additional ones. However, a very advanced "home gadget" might be called a house. No one is forced to buy anything, unless the senate makes you or someone holds you at gunpoint. Investment? That sounds like something you'd have to work out with the business owner.

I see the roots of an interesting fan-fiction: the last surviving Turaga and his few remaining Matoran aids have to venture into the ancient, dark, decaying Mata Nui robot to find the machines. Who knows what they could encounter in that old abandoned place. Or has it been indicated that the machines have already been removed?

Alright, thanks folks. I would've specified Tinypic was the website in my previous post, but I thought maybe mention of the site itself was filtered out. As I said earlier, I do believe I created an account with one of those websites awhile ago, so now it's just a matter of digging it up.

And look at that, food consumption is overdue too. Thanks for reminding me. Processing.EDIT: I'm giving JiMing, Portalfig, and Brightpaw a pass since they just joined. They will eat food 24 hours from now, at which point they will join the same three day cycle as everyone else.

Alright, in that case, Burnmad's purchases processed.

You're right. "Yc743" is being placed in instead of the website address. Must be a prohibited website for BZP or something?

Hm. The website is a subsidiary of Photobucket, and I've never had issues with their hosting with images posted on other websites, so it must be a BZP interaction thing or this particular image. I'll see what I can do. I think I created another image-hosting account somewhere...

Product creation processed. Do you wish to automate purchases of loaves for 6 widgets, or do you want to retain manual sales, approving each transaction?

I see it as broken in your post also. Does it come out okay on your end?

I have a question. My old signature consisted of this: [url="http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=2793"][img=http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn27/Toa_Z/Banner%20Shop/Toarobot.jpg][/url]Now, when I try to replace it with my own image, using this code:[url="http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=2793"][img=http://i43.rc743/11c9ocg.jpg][/url]It doesn't work; I get a broken image. Any ideas?Thanks, Toarobot

It is what you desire. Sold.

They belong to the owner, and they can eat their own bread. Anyone may sell their property. You can trade items. See page three of the topic for a list of import prices.

You can make only foods with a food business, but with product research you may develop better quality foods, which may spoil slower and/or increase happiness in addition to preventing starvation.

Processed. EDIT: It will cost 20 widgets, as you don't have a communication device. Still want to do it?Note that when buying from another citizen, as a two-way transaction, first the purchasing citizen must state what he wants to buy and what he's paying for it, then the seller must confirm the purchase on his side. (Businessmatoran, If you wish to automate purchases so you don't have to approve each transaction, you can simply state that intention and name the price of your goods.)

No, what information you know about foreign countries is provided through my foreign status updates and through contact with national leaders using communication devices. The functionality of the military only consists of those abilities listed in the Full Rules: attacking and defending targets and assisting (with permission) in foreign nations' attacks and defense.

BZ Nui's first business has finally opened its doors. May the bread baking begin!Thanks Burnmad, that is indeed her.Foreign Mini-Update: BZ Nui border scouts report seeing abnormal Westarhk military activity. Westarhk forces seem to be heading south along their border.

Nope. Portalfig is one also, as is my sister, who says she's waiting for her post to be approved.

Who invited first? There can only be one Winner of the Widgets.
