The Adventures of Sarah Connor at CONvergence 2009
Cross Posted over on The Sarah Connor Society. If you're a member I suggest checking it out only because the quiet of just me and roxy makes me feel all awkward.
For those not a member over there that can't view the subforum, jump the cut to see pics of me being a dip by striking mildly dramatic poses at the request of the photographers that made me feel all glowy when they actually recognized the outfit.
(More pictures to come once I harass them out of people.)
Sarah Connor heard that there was to be a panel about her at CONvergence 2009, so thought it prudent to attend. The Operation's Bridge peace bonded her shotgun, but it turned out it was not needed: her greater knowledge proved to be the undoing of a few panelists whose heads imploded due to foolishly being open to questions and comments from the audience. She was afterward asked to sit one next year.
A Doctor Horrible Sing-A-Long was attended, done Rocky Horror style, and all the money for the props went to Equality Now. It being for charity made it easier to get over apprehensions about singing, and picturing that creepy bastard Winston during "Brand New Day" made it a damn breeze.
One of the room parties was running an election between Dr. Horrible, Dr. Evil, and Dr. Strangelove. Horrible attempted to bribe Sarah into voting for him, and a deal was later struck that he was to fight any robots showing any signs of advanced intelligence. It was easy to convince him once the image of a T-888 running off with his Wonderflonium was put in his head. Connor was later humped by him briefly on the dance floor.
An oddly out of his time soldier from the 101st Airborne Infantry 506th PIR somehow knew who Sarah was on sight. Both came to the conclusion after talks about guns though that the other was quite awesome and the whole encounter was chalked up to time travel being a mindfuck.
Resistance fighters seem to have decided the convention makes a good base of operations. One of them is now in contact with Sarah about the potential of a yearly meet up. Caution must be had though as a T-1000 was reported to be making it's way around the hotel. Connor was relieved to have evaded him, but wished she could have had a chance to have at least seen him and done some surveillance.
A biohazard was briefly had, but was contained with ease by the Wandering Hosts (convention security and first responders). Skynet was briefly suspected, but considering how effectively it was handled and that everyone was ok, it wasn't devious enough to be a military AI.
If I can remember any more funny tales from the harebrained weekend, I'll be sure to let you all know.
