Good afternoon, fine players.<br/><br/>I've returned from vacation with plans to get back to posting real soon now. At least once I've caught up on the real-world work that piled up in my absence.<br/><br/>Sadly, something about reading the daily papers for the last week has made me a bit less enthused about imagining a totalitarian fascist state where people in uniform arbitrarily dish out punishment to the subservient masses. Even if it is all in good hyperbolic fun.<br/><br/>So grant me another day or two, if you will, and I'll pick up with our brave Troubleshooters on the express train to misadventure in sector XTC.<br/>
