                          OUR POWER CANNOT BE CONTAINED

             =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

    You have never seen us, but you may have felt our wrath.  We operate in
    the bitter darkness outside the known channels.  We slink like cats
    along the fringes, spreading the power and propaganda of the Cow
    wherever we are.  We are the most secretive agents of that CULT,
    existing  only to fight and die for its greater glory.  Ours are lives
    of total devotion to the forces of the cDc.  Ours are lives full of
    supernatural powers barely guessed at by the general public.  We are the
    elite of the elite, and through our supernormal abilities and superhuman
    loyalty we form the online universe's most perfect and most deadly
    servants.

    We have mastered, one and all, the power of digital chi; we have been
    deeply indoctrinated into its devestating offensive capabilities, and we
    can strike, suddenly and mercilessly, without even moving a finger.  Our
    minds, bodies, and black clad keyboards are under our total control:
    our every movement, thought, and keypress are choreographed more
    perfectly than a classical ballet, and all have deadly purpose.  We are
    capable of disguising our true purpose to such a degree that it is no
    longer expressible in words.  We have eyebeams.  We can strike out with
    such power as to crumble the sham defenses of any but the most stringent
    master of cow fu.  Our hands contain the power and wisdom of the
    ancients, our hearts their unblinking vision.  We will not be disturbed.
    We can take the harshest punishments of the electronic medium with a
    wink and a nod.  So far as you can know, we can fly.  Our senses are
    extraordinarily acute, capable of distinguishing between objects normal,
    untrained simpletons would call identical.  We can drive by smell.  We
    are at our zenith from dawn till dusk, and gain yet more power in the 
    hours 'tween dusk and dawn.  We may well be invincible.

    Our membership is as closely kept a secret as any.  Each of its members
    has been through a torturous and brutal training process, occupying
    years of their life, followed by a test, which, if failed, is fatal not
    just to the testee, but the tester, the observers, and many nearby 
    innocents, as well.  We are the cream of the crop, and our only mission,
    the cause to which we zealously adhere, is the protection and further
    heightening of the glory of CULT OF THE DEAD COW.

    You will never see us, but you will feel our presence.  We cannot be
    escaped, we cannot be ignored.  We are all pervasive.  We are the Chosen
    and the Mighty.  Our power cannot be contained.

    Cower.
