A story - a word at a time

21 - Now time is running short as few are left to face the enemy
If you want you can end the sentence and start a new one or continue it.
22 - , although without even knowing who the enemy really was, the "crusaders" - the hackers - knew they were against something big... and that something was against them as well. The first step, then, was to know whom or what they were up against.
24 - When they got there they secretly spied the territory and discovered that it was worse then they predicted and it would be hard getting in and out without being noticed, they will probably have to fight there way in and out or sneak in and then fight there way out.
25 - Since they knew that either outcome meant the destruction of their plans before even starting, they decided they'd have to retreat and find an insider first. /End of Chapter 1.
26 - /Start of Chapter 2:
I don't know how to start it off and I am trying to get us back into it, lol
[OK, let's introduce our hero - or is he?]
27 - Luke Bretzinger sat at his desk surrounded by more half-empty double espressos than he could comfortably count. He'd been coding for 16 hours straight which, for him, was barely breaking a sweat. He was, after all, a Ninja coder, a master hacker, the no-excuses guy; three parts intellect, one part maverick and the rest was pure anxiety. But today, something was troubling him.
28 - He knew about pandorabox. He also knew about the Chaos Code. Perhaps it was, then, the dilemma of knowing what he knew versus saying what he knew that was troubling him. The Chaos Code had approached him prior to the reconnaissance. The Capital, too, had approached him prior to the reconnaissance.
The Capital had warned that pandorabox allowed them to track any outwardly activities occurring in the Binary Civilizaton (or BC, as they lovingly referred to the Capital and its 300,000 acres of progressively dystopian civilization), and per the rules of the land, any participation in a rebellion would tantamount to an exile in Rottenmaager.
Luke knew that; in fact he had always known that. What troubled him, then, is the fact that the Capital did not know the penetrance of Luke into the pandorabox, and by extension, the penetrance of other independent hackers into pandorabox. Luke was troubled by the big scheme of things. Here was he, who had full access to pandorabox, and on the other side of the BC, there were cliques upon cliques of like-minded individuals trying to gain even deeper access to pandorabox.
Luke was troubled with this dilemma. He belonged to the BC, part of which sided with the Capital, and the other part who wanted to usurp the Capital, and to make things worse, there were outsiders who wanted in on BC.
Was the enemy of the enemy still the enemy? Or was the enemy of the enemy the friend? In fact, who was the enemy to begin with? He had to choose a side because there was high disorder in all three factions, and he had enough knowledge and penetrance into the pandorabox to pick and make a side the ultimate force of BC.
Lol, I saw what you did there. And could someone please start it off again, with only a few words or just one sentence. I don't know how to start it off.
33 - .....Chaos Code started there infiltration on the Capitals Base which was where the Capital was holding all of the vital information which could benefit the side that controlled it.
34 - Since the Chaos Code didn't know what to expect from the Capital since they currently controlled the information, they were practically running blind and could trip at any moment.
P.S: I hope I am not the only one posting on this form, I would appreciate if others help continue the story.
35- Luke grumbled, agitated that it was up to him to save the day once again. He quickly logged into his account on the Chaos codes forums under his faithful username, Cishet Whitman. A chat window popped up, it was from his good friend, soon-to-be-damseled-love-interest. "Cishet" she said "I have important news for you". "Tell me" was Cishet's reply" "The Capital, they....They are -" The conversation cut out. "Tell me" he quickly retyped. He sat there stuck in that loop for several days until he passed away from malnourished. Meanwhile, at the Capital Xangax the Great sat in the throne on the Lincoln memorial while their laser tanks marched through the streets eliminating any reference to any non secular holiday and replacing it with a picture of Vladamir Lenin, as their species had become devout communists after finding a soviet rocket filled with the works of Marx and Engels. As they took in all the destruction, the only word they could say was
37 - With the loss of Luke, the Chaos Code started to get restless and unsure of themselves if they could defeat the Capital. Even if they were looking for the Intel there was more at stake: If they didn't stop the Capital from continuing there massacres they would be eventually discovered and destroyed and shortly after that happened anyone who didn't pledge allegiance to Xangax the Great would mostly likely be sent to prison, sent into slavery, severely punished, or executed. So they had to work fast to exploit the Capital. The Intel must have the blueprints to there new laser tanks and how to destroy them and a lot of other valuable information, but what they did not know was............

(what happened to 'one word at a time'?) LOL
I thought that from the very beginning of this thread, which is why I left the story.
It seemed as though the posts were just getting longer and longer. I think some people were getting a bit carried away.
(not mentioning any names) 
I am the thing that goes bump in the night...

@Headphaze: I can see your sort of misunderstanding, in the very beginning it does specify one word at a time, even the title tells us this but if you look through the first couple posts AlienXXX decided to make it short sentences or a couple words instead and I can understand why:
1: To make the story make sense, not naming anyone but in the past on other forms people start to make stuff not even relate or set stuff off track and it would be a lot harder to do that if you are posting more than one word.
2: And that way it doesn't take as long, since this is a story we have to have length to it and if we just do a word at a time then by the time we get to 90 to a 100 words/posts then we will only have a little more than a paragraph.
I myself will admit posting more that a short sentence or a few words(I've pretty much have posted a few sentences with length) but a lot of times I do that so the story stays on track and doesn't get diverted to another topic and I sometimes want the stories sentence to end a certain way to make it more interesting.
You don't have to come back but there will always be welcoming new story tellers(Mainly since we are lacing posts, lol) and I will try to make my posts shorter if we get more people, I hate being almost the only one adding to the story 
... that malnourishment was just a ploy to get Xangax off his back. Our hero, Luke, was still alive and doing well. Indeed, it was he who had implanted the word "Bussoftlhee" (since Drosophila was his favorite fly) on the giant screens and banners that Xangax had ordered throughout the abomination that was this new nation. Little did Xangax know that "Bussoftlhee", the power he worshiped, was a craft of Luke's ingeniousness.
@Headphaze: It's my way or the highway.
