I said gimme an experienced tech... No, no - don't touch that! A

OOC - My Apologies Folks! My internet connection has been out of
order since late Thursday, due to my new isp's shocking mishandling
of the DSL installation.
The tech they sent out to do the DSL install was utterly
unbelievable... I knew I was in *real big trouble* when this poster
child example of a 'tech without training' muttered "1. Reset router
to it's factory defaults." while reading from something that was
obiviously a set of "how to" list of instructions. Unfortunately,
before I could say or do anything, He'd wiped my system configuration
clean. (And I'm still cleaning up the mess he created!) But it seems
I finally have surfing capability, and inbound email going once
again. Though, the outbound email is still somewhat incorrectly
configured (some emails are going out, and others aren't - I'm not
entirely sure why yet.)- so, please be patient and don't expect a
fast response to any private emails from me quite yet... {Good thing
this didn't happen *before* I sent out the individual away team
members instructions last week!}
So, here's my belated gameposts that should've gotten posted last
thursay. And once I've caught up with emails that queued up for me
over the weekend, I'll make a more "up to date" post.
{890 messages... *sheesh*, Now why did I ever convince myself I
didn't need to take a course in speed reading?!?}

------------------------
Who: White Wolf, Phil, Tara, and well, nearly the *entire* medibay
crew.
Where: The medibay.
When: During Tara's leg cast repairwork. (This message was supposed
to go out thursday!)
White Wolf eventually found Phil visiting with Tara in the Medibay,
as Shakespeare, Ensign Wildflower and a pink tree were apparently
working on a rather hodge podge looking leg cast, which covered her
leg, abodmen and part of her shoulder.
The huge hamster stared as Phil held Tara in his arms, as he growled
at the trio that was apparently working on her cast "Careful, don't
cause her any more undo pain, while you fix her leg cast!"
Dr. Shakespeare used a electric saw to cut parts of the slowly drying
cast off, as Ensign Wildflower freed up more of the Pink Trees
branchs that got inadvertantly plastered into the cast.
The Pink Tree rustled with indignation towards Ensign Wildflower. She
blathered defensively "How was I supposed to know that you couldn't
slide out your branchs from bracing her leg when the cast began to
dry out?"
The Huge Hamster then spoke up to be heard over the noisy saw, "Um, I
realise I'm coming at a bad time, Phil, But could you step into Dr.
keto's office, I need to ask you something."
Phil nodded, and they both walked into Keto's office, and closed the
door on the noise.
"What do you need, White Wolf?" asked Phil.
"I might need you repair Allie's light bee." replied the overgrown
hamster.
"You do realise she's unstable and she wanted to release the gas,
don't you? I don't want another Evil Phil scenario on our hands."
"Yes, and I also understand that she was having some personal
problems. She has requested me to give her another chance. Since I'm
a fair hamster, and consider the fact that I do need a console
officer, I'll give her just *one* more chance." White Wolf extends a
single claw, and continues "But it's under the condition that if she
willingly threatens the lives of crewmen again, I'll order her light
bee to be taken offline and turned over to the JMC for whatever
discipline they do with holograms that go haywire. You and I both
know Evil Phil is, or was, a special case, and probably won't happen
again. So are you willing to do the repair work on Allie's?"
"And If I ain't?"
"Consider it an order then."
"Ok, I'll do it then."
"Very Good, Phil."

OOC - Sorry, Stewie! I meant this to go out on thursday, as I said It
would.
Where:McKenzie's
When: Just before White Wolf got on the Starbug for the Away mission
Who: White Wolf, Zack & Stewie
White Wolf Entered the store, and quickly went up to Stewie and Zack.
Zack said, "Hello White Wolf!"
Stewie put on his best salesman smile and said, "Why Hello Captain,
What brings you here?"
"Hi Stewie, As you already know from being at the Department heads
meeting earlier, I'm going on an away mission. I've got a laundry
list of things I want to buy."
He handed Zack the Filmsy of the list, and Zack began to read it
outloud "A three week supply of 'variety pack' MRE's* and water
pouchs for ten people, 10 two room 'qwik pop up' brand tents made of
silvery 'space material', 10 Backpacks with accompanying silvery
bedrolls & inflatable pillows, 10 Portable heating stoves, 10 pocket
survival kits, and 10 of Stewie's special order JMC away mission
jackets**, One portable ice maker, two insulated storage chests, one
camp perimeter protection autocannon with motion sensor. That's quite
a camping list, Sir."
Stewie inquired "Would that be all Captain? Do you need anything
else, should I order up the same thing plus more weapons and ammo for
Harris's security bunch?"
"No, No. I've already asked Harris, he seems to want to rough it a
little. Heck, why don't you throw in an extra crate of weapons and
ammo in and deliver it to my away team's starbug for a little one
hamster upmanship, it'll drive him nuts." replied the huge hamster
with a grin.
"And how will we being paying today captain." inquired Stewie, as
CashHolly descended from the ceiling.
"You know, perhaps you ought to add 4 cans of extra strength Athletes
foot powder and 60 pound sack of granola for me too. I always get a
bit of swamp foot whenever I'm in a jungle, and walking around makes
me hungry." replies the overgrown hamster as he hands Stewie a
transparent card.
Stewie looked at it dubiosly, "Transgalatic Reserve Blue level
Preferred Customer card. I've never done transactions with
Transgalatic Reserve before, Captain. Please excuse the delay while I
have CashHolly check if he can accept funds from your account."
"I can vouch that the card is good, Stewie." replied the hamster.
"I'm sure it is Captain. Just another moment while CashHolly verifies
the account." replied Stewie without batting an eye.
"Please wait while Transgalatic is confirming this card." displayed
CashHolly as he hummmed for a few moments.
Zack looked up at CashHolly's display, and read "Our Preferred
customer has a petty Cash line of 21 Yotta." and turning to Stewie he
asked "Stewie, How much is a yotta in dollarpounds?"
"I have no idea. Captain, I'm afraid I'll have to charge you a small
fee for a foriegn currency exchange." replied Stewie with a slight
frown.
The huge hamster put his paws over his eyes and looked like he going
to have a magraine, and replied "Do whatever you need, Stewie. I'm
sure my account will cover it, I invested in some very good stock, I
could've retired some time back, But I decided to keep working in the
JMC to keep me humble."
"I'm sure you have, Captain." Replied Stewie with a sort of weak
smile.
"Well, if this is presenting too much of hassle, I could just cancel
my order." replied the harried hamster.
"Oh My!" whispered CashHolly.
Zack looked at the his display and almosted choked. Stewie turned and
began to say "Is something wrong Zack?" but the words died in his
throat as saw the message on CashHolly. It read -
"Our preffered customer, Mr. White Wolf, has a petty cash line of
approximately 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 Dollarpounds, which
is roughly equivalant to 21 Yotta. If our customer has need of
further funds, please contact the Transgalatic Reserves' chief
financial officer for the immediate purchase of your organization to
expedite our preferred customers purchase."
Trying not to miss a beat, Stewie quickly handed White Wolf's card
back and asked "Would you like all of that gift wrapped, Captain?"
"No need, Stewie. Just put Zack and yourself down for 20 percent tip,
and have it delivered to the Starbug before it launchs." Replied the
hamster as he saunteered out of the store.
Stewie snaps his fingers, and mutters "I should've offered my gold
plating service..."
