Head in a Jar………The Return of the Defenders
by Bppaul on Sep.25, 2012, under Crew Logs
So it’s been a while since I updated you with the current situation. As you heard on Episode 18 the Defenders are back! They are still having some technical issues and broadcasting shall resume again shortly.
So what happened I hear you ask. Well after I got used to have a 2 arms and 2 legs again I was able to rescue Ben from his module, it was locked from the outside which was rather strange. When we went to find the other 2 they were still in their sleeping capsules with James’s netbook still playing his playlist of porn on a constant loop. Before waking them we noticed that their sleeping time had been increased and they were not supposed to wake for another year! After waking them we discovered that all other systems were functioning normally and they got to work on sorting a transmission.
Due to Mir only being able to sustain 3 bodies, here I am, back on my desk typing with my mind and flying the shuttle ( Celica 1) back and forward from Earth. I like my desk, having a body was just to much effort and people made you go get things and carry stuff for them! So I’m happy controlling things with my mind from my desk.
Look forward to reading your thoughts and I hope you enjoy the return of the defenders.
Apologies from a bed post… Post.
by intertree on Sep.13, 2012, under Crew Logs
The bed post above would like to say sorry for the lack of an episode 19 after our beta test pre-launch show. Technical difficulties with the recording set up are to blame this week; and the bed post, while not responsible for these difficulties, feels that it should take on the responsibility for any upset or inconvenience caused. Sorry folks but, once issues are corrected, expect great things… Or, at least, mildly satisfying things!

We’re back!
For a special test episode of the new setup of the show going forward (including our beta pre-production theme music), we are planning a complete re-launch and a return to weekly broadcasting.
To facilitate this, we have also completely redesigned the site and added a community forum @ www.defendersofthemirth.com/forum. Sign up today and become a fellow Mirthling Peer :-).
We’ve also set up a subreddit @ dotm.reddit.com for fellow Mirthling Peers to add their own links to articles they’d like us to cover on future shows.
So, we hope you’d like to join in the fun and sign up.

Head in a jar……..more recent activities.
by Bppaul on Aug.12, 2012, under Crew Logs
Date – 1 week later
Location – In the room, standing beside the desk.
Yes! You read it right! I am standing! I HAVE A BODY!
Crazy things have happened since my last post. During the turbulence my jar was getting rocked back and forward. It made me kinda dizzy but the next thing I know I am in a drawer, my jar pressed onto a red button with the label ‘do not touch’……..whoops!
Anyways, not all bad. It must of been one of the Science Officer’s experiments. Before my eyes this device started to create a body of light. It was a sight to behold, I’m not to sure why it produced a female body……
So here I am, a week later standing beside the desk that was my home. I think I have got used to the controls for this body. I may have lost a little water from my jar though.
But now, I’m going exploring!
