Perplex City event - Ascendancy Point

A quick poem I wrote regarding Tuesday night's Ascendancy Point event in Perplex City. YAY for bad poems!

On Thirtieth of January,
when night fell round the land,
Kurt and Vi went to the Point
to give Scarlett a hand.

On the way they met poor Caine,
who, speculation said,
would end up messing up their plans,
but he went and helped, instead.

Inside they got, and first we had,
to confuse the systems so.
We played a game of Mastermind
before the team could go.

And then they split, to aid their cause,
Kurt, Fitch, and Caine (Team A).
Vi and Frye and Harrison,
did go the other way.

Team B came across a guard,
with video feeds, sublime.
Unfortunately, lag was high,
so that took some time.

Meanwhile, team A needed us,
to call, and to persuade.
This we did, eventually,
and the day was saved.

But as team A was nearing the end,
a guard stood in their way.
Oh what, oh what were they to do?
But then Caine saved the day.

Both teams met up, their missions done,
Ready for the end.
Hopefully, they would reach their goal,
and be able to help their friend.

Floor 110, at last,
and here the Third Power was seen.
One last puzzle, to test our worth,
to enter bay 17.

Harrison climbed in the vents,
and set up our way in.
But oops, it seems there's an error,
we need more puzzles to win.

More puzzles solved, the lights go out,
we hear only noise.
Vi and Helena were both ready,
and so were all three boys.

In they rushed, with single shots,
and then it was a blur.
Something happened, shots were fired,
it all caused quite a stir.

Six were killed, on that night.
They will all be missed.
Except for sneaky Third Power guys,
who'll probably be quite pissed.

Harrison, and Fishcook, also paid the price.
But Caine and Scarlett were okay..
As well as they could be.
They'll live, apparently, anyway.

Oh Harrison, Oh Harrison,
you will be missed I know,
by all at the PCPD,
but it was your time to go.

Scarlett, Kurt, Caine, and even Vi,
will live another day,
Without them, to be honest,
it wouldn't be much of a story, anyway.

"Oh Lettie! Lettie!" cries Vi,
her tears streaming down her face.
But now it was the time to leave,
and get out of this place.

It turns out Caine was there as well,
tortured by the Power.
But in the end, he was a real help,
and was truly a hero of the hour.

So off they went, to hospital,
where Scarlett sits right now,
Hopefully the Third Power,
Will stay away, somehow.

The final thing to happen, friends,
the final clue, hooray!
And we find out it's buried here,
England, upon the Way.

Hopefully, perhaps very soon,
the Cube may just change hands,
and then, my friends, we'll raise a toast,
to the best Cube hunter in the land.

Anyway, anybody that cares will notice I've not blogged for.. a while.

This is because I officially have a Wii. Yes, I do. It's also partly due to the fact that there's been nothing to blog about. I'm still working hard on my Computing, electronics, physics, maths, etc... Blah.

Okay, show's over.

(Also, my rival got an A on task 1. I got a B. Ooh, you win this time.. *twitch*

Me: 2
Rival: 2

Grr.)

Happy Wiintereenmas

Happy Wintereenmas, one and all.

I have tennis elbow >.< My elbow is in such paaain.

OH THE PAIN!

*sigh* As for anything else, I've started on my first book of the year :o It's "Another Life" [Torchwood novel]. I'll review it when I'm done, I guess.

Also, has anybody here ever done three dimensional trigonometry and triangulation? Ugh. I spent the whole day doing it (Perplex City event puzzle), and my answer is about 400 metres off everyone elses. So I guess I'm wrong.

*sigh* I like Perplex City, but I just feel like.. I'm sitting here, and just.. not helping at all. I'm just cheering on everyone else, saying "Oh well done", passively reading blog updates.. But today.. I really tried. I really did. I got it wrong, but I tried. And I'm going to try next time, as well. Until a puzzle comes along that I can do.

*sigh* I'm so useless in this.
