Beta Bodega Coalition counter-intellegence report member: Hamijama METHOD OF ATTACK AND COMBAT TECHNIQUES: BINARY BACTERIA PRESENT LOCATION: 3700 YEARS AGO IN BABYLON, BUT MY USELESS-ANSWER MACHINE WAS RECONSTRUCTED IN THE PRESENT TIME BY BETA BODEGA. HAJIMAMA HAS BEEN LOND-DEAD, AND IT'S THE TIME MACINE THAT MAKES ALL THE NOISES. CURRENT PROJECT: CLASSIFIED RELEASE DATE: CLASSIFIED TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED... Inventor, Scientist, Data-Anaylsis Expert, and Scavenger. Babylon, BC 1742. Excerpted from the ancient texts... I need to be on the streets usually about two hours before sunrise. The others don't wake up as early as I do, they have a hard time after getting piss-drunk on Babylonian ale so thick that you have to spit out the hops at the bottom. I don't do that, I know that if I'm going to find anything good I have to start looking before anyone else. You can't spot a vintage 8.3 terracycle memory pipeline sticking out of the gutter if you've got last night's drug-hazed hammer pounding on your temples. I've found some amazing and rare parts recently, and I've almost completed my machine. It can tell you the answer to any question you ask it. In its present state, however, it will only give out information that is absolutely useless. Ask it if King Hammurabi will be assa sinated by the Vicar and it will tell you that the King pissed 0.421 liters the night before, and the Vicar only nearly half that. An exciting peculiarity that I only recently discovered how to take advantage of is to listen to the sounds my machine makes at the verge of overload. It must be a combination of the frequency modulation, subtractive and additive synthesis and future-echo spectral processing aliasing of its ultra high frequency CPU down into the audible domain. At first I thought the percussive background a result of a defective circuit, but I have recently come to admire the sounds in and of themselves. If you ask it questions faster than it can spit out its sadly irrelevant facts, you can literally hear the confusion spew out of it. I didn't think that a thousand cross references of unrelated data streams would overload to make such disturbing and fascinating noises. ...Hamijama, Babylon, four year of the dog-harvest, late summer. (BC 1742) Translated from the Sumerian in 1999, all base-60 numbers converted to base-10 for the readers convenience, and ancient units converted to metric using the Hamming-Terradyn window filter. The ruins and original blueprints for Hamijama's machine were completely reconstructed in 1999, at the Beta Bodega laboratory for advanced ancient science. The sounds Hamijama refers to were painstakingly recorded at the highest quality in our laboratories. The complete transcript of the verbal session which provided these sounds is available on request. For further reports contact Beta Bodega HQ: Mil Mascaras 41-16 54th STreet Apt. 1R Woodside, NY 11377
