It’s late in the second era. Ironworks has just evolved from the blue board into a new higher society, where flaming and spamming only exist in the kind of story’s used to scare children.
From his throne in the grand city of General Discussion, Lord Ziroc watches his board grow to incredible size. But… treason is just around the corner. For Ziroc’s cat, the malevolent Chocolate is jealous of his master’s success and forges a number of disks as gifts to the Ironworks members.
But… Choc deceived the members of Ironworks. Having another backup made of the master disk he gave Ziroc. Infecting the original one with a deadly virus that would destroy all who used it. Dark clouds fell over middle-Ironworks.

Three for the admins, on their thrones of HTML
Seven for the moderators, for their boards alone
Nine for the most prominent members, doomed to be banned.
One for the Cat-overlord, on his throne of trolls,
In a free Xorbit board, where the shadows lie….

But Ziroc suspected his cats treachery, and called Memnoch, his most loyal follower to him in his throne room.


Memnoch: Lord Ziroc, thy have summoned me?
Ziroc: Did Choc give you any of his disks?
Memnoch: Yeah, he gave me this cool DvD.
Ziroc: Have you used it yet?
Memnoch: No, but I was just about to run it.
Ziroc: You’d better not. Here take mine.
Memnoch: Why….?
Ziroc: Because I’m telling you too, c’mon take it.
Memnoch: Alright, alright, here you go. *takes the disk.
Ziroc: Well done, now throw it in the microwave!
Memnoch: What ..….
Ziroc: Do it!
Memnoch: Alright *puts it in the oven.
Memnoch: Listen Z., perhaps y…
Ziroc: Wait! Look!
Memnoch: I don’t see anything.
Ziroc: Just take the disk out of the microwave.
Memnoch: Are you nuts?
Ziroc: Do it!
Memnoch: Alright, alright. *grabs the disk.
Memnoch: Its cold! And it seems thicker then before!
Ziroc: Look at the inner edge of the central hole.
Memnoch: An inscription, in lines finer than anything I have ever seen before!
Ziroc: Can you read what it says?
Memnoch: Yes… the inscriptions are shining now. piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth.
Ziroc: Let me see.

Only when he saw what was written on the disk, did Ziroc learn the dark truth..
4F6E65204F5320746F2072756C65207468656D20616C6C2C20 4F6E65204F5320746F
2066696E64207468656D2C0D0A4F6E65204F5320746F206272 696E67207468656D20

Memnoch: I cannot read this! I don’t understand…
Ziroc: I can, the letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here.
Memnoch: What does it say…

Ziroc: One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness of windows bind them

Memnoch: No! Choc has betrayed us! He made a deal of somekind with Microsoft!
Ziroc: Yes, and now that he has. We may no longer be able to contain it!
Memnoch: We must warn the others!
Ziroc: Its too late! Too late! If only I could have found out earlier.
Memnoch: But there is still t…

*messenger comes running in.
Dizzy: my Lord Ziroc! Urgent message from mistress Epona!
Ziroc: What is it? Speak man!
Dizzy: My lord, unholy rituals are going on in a nearby Xorbit board!
Ritual chantings are flowing through all its links to Ironworks.
Memnoch: Then Choc is already moving against us. We are unprepared! Is this the end?
Ziroc: No my friend, just the beginning! Dizzy, can you take a message back to your mistress?
Dizzy: Of course milord.
Ziroc: Then tell her the following…

Pssst Horatio, this is a bit of a solo project, as you can tell there's been many, this is the fifth one.

Funny stuff, Dreamer, I like the part about "the language of Microsoft, which I shall not utter, here." Lol: Microsoft/Mordor.
