STSF_BluRox -> Ok...Mission Briefing: The wanted crew members have reported back down to Portalis to await judgement upon the infractions of some of thier numbers. Those on the ship are bantering about various ways to get them out, or even to beam themout, although that would be clearly against the Prime Directive.

STSF_BluRox -> A dripping wet Blu, disturbed in her bath by the now also wet Jax...is furious at yet another shoreleave issue

STSF_BluRox -> Members of the crew have been asked to assist in staying out of the way, and to see if they can learn omre of the Avatrix

STSF_BluRox -> Anything to add?

Fiona Weber -> Only that I recommend we stay away from planets with any sorts of fowl, Sir.

LtCdrJohnson -> +Kwai+ Johnson to Kwai, I am sending you all I have on sacred birds and other animals, including some ones native to this sector...not sure if the Avatrix or whatever they call it is in here but maybe there is a clue to the species in this sector and birds

STSF_KBear -> @:: mumbling:: The Admiral s going to kill me. Or demote me again for this one.and I didnt say anything except no comment

August Jax Robinson -> ::on the Bridge, next to Will::(w) did she say to return here after

Capt Rian Kwai -> +Johnson+ Thank you, Kwai out.

Ayumu Kasuga -> @Ditto, really

STSF_BluRox -> ::pulling hard on the brush as the warm air fluffs her fur..hating doing it this fast will make it unnecisarrly poofie, and getting more and more upset about it as she's thinking abotu who she's going to skin first for this whole mess:

STSF_BluRox -> <what a good idea Kbear, it gives the others hope that they can move up soon>

Fiona Weber -> ::not going to be on the Bridge for this part of the Aviatrix Incident::

Jameson Bardolph -> @Kawalas> ::easily:: 's just a misunderstanding, Cap'n...soon's we're allowed to speak our piece, it'll get cleared up.

August Jax Robinson -> (w) I thought she was going to kill me.. I can't remember being so scared

STSF_KBear -> << ::sighs:: wouldnt be the first time. At this rate we will have a SHIP FULL Of captains

Jameson Bardolph -> ((rofl))

STSF_BluRox -> <and to any packers fans....so sorry>

Capt Rian Kwai -> Why is it that when we're on duty, we do a relatively good job but when we go on leave everything goes haywire? Is there some sort of medical condition that makes our crew's brain shut down during time off?

Ayumu Kasuga -> <lol>

LtCdrJohnson -> +Joy+ Johnson to Joy, you need any help with your research, maybe someone to play devils advocate. I'm an engineer so I can think about things logically

STSF_BluRox -> <ooo, research Kwai....you'll have to have us go on occassional leave, so that you can study it>

Joy -> That's not absolutely completely true, Rian. Some of us have managed to muck up on the job too.

LtCmdrRobinson -> She's not going to kill you. She likes to take her rage out on Kania.

STSF_BluRox -> <feel free to dissect a few brains if you need>

August Jax Robinson -> (w) no! before when I fell into the tub with her

TireanBell -> @Kawalas:: whats going to happen to me for not following Commander Robinson's orders?

Jameson Bardolph -> ((it's called "college student syndrome"))

Fiona Weber -> (I have scalpels.)

LtCmdrRobinson -> You said she pulled you in. That's not your fault.

August Jax Robinson -> first I thought I was going to throw up and faint

Capt Rian Kwai -> ((I'm not sure I want to test fate. Perhaps I should study the group on the holodeck in a controled environment to make sure they don't cause a real intergalatic incident))

STSF_BluRox -> @Landry> ::steps back into the main room:: Do you have someone we should contact as to the list of the charges that are facing your group?

Fiona Weber -> ::glaring at her staff, suspecting that one of them ransacked her office in her absence::

Joy -> +Dave+ Noted. I'm not sure logic will apply for a while, though. I'll keep you in mind should there be any sign of what would be normalcy anywhere but the Republic.

Jameson Bardolph -> @Bell> ::grins faintly:: We're up on a bit bigger charges than that...that may be the least of our worries...:trails off as Landry comes in::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Well throwing up on her wouldn't have improve the situation, so good for you on holding back

Jameson Bardolph -> @::steps back away from the door so that Kawalas has a clear line of sight on the Portalis officer::

STSF_BluRox -> <throwing up on me may have done it Jax...>

STSF_KBear -> @::Looks up:: Our ship knows we are in trouble. If you wish to cantact them,

LtCdrJohnson -> +Joy+ Right, Johnson out

Ayumu Kasuga -> @Yay

LtCmdrRobinson -> I wouldnt worry too much about her right now August, she has other issues to deal with.

STSF_KBear -> *Contact them it would be apprecaited.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: Why is it that when we go on vacation, we always run into trouble

Jameson Bardolph -> @::wonders abruptly whether Robinson might be called upon to represent them and almost chokes strangling an abrupt urge to laugh::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to BobO:: You'd think we'd get into more trouble while we were on missions

LtCdrJohnson -> ::checking over some power usage reports::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::reading through the material her friend sent her on the birds, matching it to what's all ready been researched, frowning as she does so::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Landry> Very well, if you are all set then, I'll be heading off to lunch, We will be back shortley

Ayumu Kasuga -> @:::does not know whom she can call::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::as he reads over the power usage reports, something occurs to him::

STSF_BluRox -> <Ghostbusters!>

STSF_KBear -> @All set? Explain please?

Ayumu Kasuga -> < :P >

STSF_BluRox -> be wondering what's taking us so lang

LtCdrJohnson -> ::looks at the listing::

Fiona Weber -> ::grumbles, stumbling over a few things in her office on the way to her desk, and pulls the "day-to-day" files from while she was on leave, seeing as there wasn't much she could do in the way of "trial lawyer"::

Jameson Bardolph -> @<m> Any for us?

STSF_KBear -> @:: stands:: what did you mean by all set please?

August Jax Robinson -> BobO> No

Capt Rian Kwai -> Joy, any word from the planet about the charges?

Ayumu Kasuga -> @::sitting down::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::grabs the data and heads out of engineering::

TireanBell -> @::sitting on the floor::

Joy -> Nothing new, Captain.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::enters a TL::

LtCdrJohnson -> Bridge

STSF_BluRox -> :: a quiet voice is heard over a loudspeaker::

Joy -> As far as I can see, the crew was negligent in leaving proper flight space...

Joy -> but the beam out was for public safety not resisting arrest.

STSF_BluRox -> Voice> Did you know you can donate one or all of your vital organs to the Aperture Science self esteem fund for girls? It's true!"

LtCdrJohnson -> ::exits the TL onto the bridge::

Fiona Weber -> (That's on the planet, not shipwide, yes?)

Joy -> It has all become overly politicised. We might want to plea a out of it somehow.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::walks over to Joy and Kwai::

Jameson Bardolph -> ((aahahahahahahahahahahaha))

Jameson Bardolph -> ((YES))

STSF_BluRox -> @ Needly turns and looks at Ayumu and Hawke:: You're not a good person, you know that, right? Good people don't end up here."

STSF_BluRox -> <yea fiona, forgot th @>

Joy -> (( This voice is on Republic, not down in the jail cell? No @? ))

Joy -> (( K ))

STSF_BluRox -> @ Landry> Knock it of Needly..let's go eat, I'm starting

Jameson Bardolph -> @::quirks eyebrow:: Bit judgmental, that...

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @::raises an eyebrow; tiredly::

Capt Rian Kwai -> What about the inciting a riot thing?

LtCmdrRobinson -> <<I bet they are eating organs :P>>

LtCdrJohnson -> ::listening to the back and forth between Kwai and Joy waiting his turn::

Fiona Weber -> (Or making foodcubes out of them. Wait, Hood did that already...)

Joy -> That, I haven't got a full account of. I suspect most of the riot came from planet side, outrage against the harm to the birds.

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @ ::looks at Ayumu; bored::

Ayumu Kasuga -> @::shrugs::

STSF_KBear -> @Wait what was that voice?

Joy -> We'll have to see what if anything was said that might be validly called inciting a riot.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Joy:: I may have a theory about that

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @ ::smiles::

STSF_BluRox -> @ Needly and Landry leave the area to get some lunch

Joy -> :: Nods to Dave ::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::watches them go out::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::rubs back of neck and looks at the others:: What was that all about?

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Joy & Kwai::..its sketchy but it may be worth looking into further, in ancient Egypt, the Egyptians had a deity named Ra...who was the G-d of the sun...and...a human with a bird head..specifically a falcon

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::looks down at Joy and Kwai:: If these birds are *that* important to their people, there is no way our people are going to get a fair trial down there.

STSF_KBear -> @James did you hear that?

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Joy & Kwai:: These people...may view the Avatrix as the reincarnation of a deity

STSF_KBear -> @Im not sure but I dont think I like it.

Joy -> Ancestors, not a deity, I understand, but a strong bonding indeed, yes.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Joy & Kwai:: Now...according to other cultures...if something like that is harmed...there is a proper ritual that can be performed

Jameson Bardolph -> @Kawalas> No, sir, me either. But then most people generally don't like being put in jail, sir. ::faint grin::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Joy & Kwai:: To...you know purge the souls of our crewmembers or something

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Joy & Kwai:: These rituals were often violent...but what if we found a modern twist...a ritual that our comrades could perform, to honor the Avitrax

STSF_KBear -> @No no I thought I heard a voice

STSF_BluRox -> ::finishes...'fluffing'...looks like a big golden puffer fish in her opinion::

LtCmdrRobinson -> <<Dave, there is no ceremony in existance that can purge the souls of *this* crew>>

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @::to Ayumu:: This may be sad, but this jail thing almost seems routine by now...

Jameson Bardolph -> @Kawalas> Yessir...I heard it to. Something about some sort of Science proram?

Jameson Bardolph -> *program

Joy -> << Speak for yourself, Will. :P >>

STSF_BluRox -> ::pulls on last of the uniform, and exits her quarters, heading for the bridge

Ayumu Kasuga -> @Seems like it, eh?

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Kwai & Joy:: If my theory is correct...they see the Avitrax as a source of power...maybe even as the best source of power

Joy -> :: considers ::

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @ ::goes to floor and does pushups. (Even scientists have to stay in shape)::

STSF_KBear -> @ I dont think I like that idea either.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Kwai & Joy:: So....if we can find a way for our crewmembers to display that we possess...some kind of power...a good power, we may convince them that we are honoring the Avitrax...and thus their people

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Kwai & Joy:: And that the killing of one of them was purely accidental

August Jax Robinson -> ::Takes a seat, nervous::

Capt Rian Kwai -> These aren't backwoods people, Mr Johnson.

TireanBell -> @::quitely :: do you guys still have your com badges?

August Jax Robinson -> we heard anything from below?

Joy -> A ritual of atonement wouldn't hurt, perhaps. Or just genuine atonement.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Kwai:: No...but they may have a very spirtual aspect tot hem

Joy -> But it would have to come from their own traditions, I expect.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Not yet ::to Jax::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Joy:: So...we find a way to learn about their traditions...see if they have rituatals associated with the Avitrax

STSF_BluRox -> ::heads onto the bridge:: Turns to Joy. have you compiled the list of of what we're going to have to deal with?

Jameson Bardolph -> @Kawalas> Well, we won't find out what it's all about sitting here...::looks a little frustrated::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::turns and sees the Admiral::

Joy -> Yes, Admiral. :: Hands her a data padd. ::

STSF_KBear -> @ ::to Bell: Why do you ask?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::flips around back towards his station when the Admiral appears::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Aye, they do have a spiritual aspect, especially since these birds are what they consider to be reincarnated relatives. And I agree, knowing what their traditions are is important so we can provide retribution for the incident.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::watches Hawke do pushupsLL\

Ayumu Kasuga -> ^@

TireanBell -> @::Kawalas:: I have a feeling the intend not to inform our ship of the charges

Joy -> Not complete. They have not been terribly communicative. They are more interested in establishing control and authority, I think.

Joy -> We thus far haven't contested that. We have been trying to show respect for procedures.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Kwai:: The question is...how do we get that information...do we have a diplomatic means at our disposal...I don't think hacking into their database and stealing it is the best idea

LtCdrJohnson -> ::goes over to an engineering station::

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @:: notices Ayumu watching him:: Want to join me? ::breathes softly, holding at the top of a rep::

STSF_KBear -> @Mr Bell We informed them when we were beamed up. So they know why we are here

Fiona Weber -> ::wondering what the latest on the bird-religion front is, again, heads out of Sickbay and towards the Bridge, assuming the Caitian will have sunk her claws into something already::

Ayumu Kasuga -> @::smiles:: No thanks, I'm not very athletic

Capt Rian Kwai -> Excuse me? What did you just say?

STSF_BluRox -> Very good. Kwai,have you went down at all? I mean, since this occured?

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @::smiles:: As you wish ::continues push-uping::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns hearing the engineer, offering to steal from these people::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Kwai:: I said I didn't think we should be hacking into their database and taking the information Ma'am..it could provoke violence against our people

STSF_BluRox -> Is about to tear into him, but hears Kwai's tone of voice and decides to wait to see how she handles it

Jameson Bardolph -> ::leans back against the wall again::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Since when was that the course of action recommended, Mr Johnson? ::fumming::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Kwai:: It wasn't...I apologize, it was an offhand remark

Ayumu Kasuga -> @::watches on amyused::

Joy -> :: Decides this is a good one to stay out of... ::

Fiona Weber -> ::steps onto the Bridge from the back lift, mercifully oblivious to the current flare-up::

Capt Rian Kwai -> I think that'll be all, Mr Johnson. Thank you for your assistance. If you have any further to add to the investigation, please feel free to inform your department head.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::shakes his head at Fiona::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Kwai:: Aye Captain

STSF_BluRox -> ::already in a bad mood, does not need to deal with this, but knows that Kwai is as much of a stickler for the chain of command as she is, and will handle it effectively::

STSF_KBear -> @:: sits back down on the bench:: I bet the Admiral is fuming at this point.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::heads off the bridge and into a TL::

Fiona Weber -> ::glances at Will, wondering if she she head back to the lift while she still could::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Looks at dave as he leaves::

Fiona Weber -> second she = should

STSF_BluRox -> Joy...would you please patch me through to the authorities that I need to speak with

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: Coming Ma'am?

Joy -> :: Nods to the Admiral ::

August Jax Robinson -> not right now, return to engineering

TireanBell -> @:: Kawalas:: I don't imagin star fleet security won't consider me for anything agian

LtCdrJohnson -> ::to Jax:: Aye

LtCdrJohnson -> ::closes the TL::

LtCdrJohnson -> Engineering

Joy -> :: Attempts to open up a hail to the same individual that has been respresenting the government on this ::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Puts face into her hand:: can my day get worse

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::watching Dave leave, then turns her attention back to the bridge crew, relaxing her jaw::

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @::tires; switches to sit ups::

Fiona Weber -> ::only lives once, slips around the back of the Bridge to observe in her usual unobtrusive manner::

STSF_KBear -> @ We will all be lucky if we get out of this alive.

STSF_BluRox -> ::nods in approval to Kwai, and knows she is going to have to get the woman her own command soon enough::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::listening to the back-and-forth:: Well, is there anything we can do to get out? Get their attention? Something? We can't just sit here feeling sorry for ourselves...

Ayumu Kasuga -> @Quite

STSF_KBear -> @If these poeple dont kill us the Admiral jst might have us put to death.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::exits the TL and strolls back into engineering::

Ayumu Kasuga -> @::sighs sadly::

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::makes mental note to work with department heads for a multi-cultural awareness program once this mess is resolved, and some PR lessons::

STSF_BluRox -> +com+ Portalis control, this is Rear Admiral Errrika BluRox of the Federation Star Ship USS Republic. It has come to my attention, that there has been some sort of an incident involving several of my crew, in which they have ..

Ayumu Kasuga -> @I don't know which is worse

Fiona Weber -> ::eyes Blu from over the edge of a console::

Jameson Bardolph -> @::grimaces and starts to pace, getting impatient::

TireanBell -> @::Kawalas:: the Vulcan high Command. Is going to be ticked as well

LtCdrJohnson -> ::goes back to the console he was at before, and continues to look over the power usage reports while calculating the numbrs of how to get the power output more efficient ::

STSF_BluRox -> ::pauses looking for the right word:: may have intruded upon some of your beliefs and laws

August Jax Robinson -> +Johnson+ Dave, when things get settled up here we need to have a talk about Bridge edict

STSF_BluRox -> com+ May I set up some sort of meeting with you so that we may discuss any restitution, penalties or of course,

STSF_BluRox -> laws which may have been broken?

STSF_KBear -> @And what does the vulcan high councel have to do with the ISS republic?

Capt Rian Kwai -> ::watching the Admiral at work, and the political tapdance now in play::

LtCmdrRobinson -> <<etiquette darling>>

August Jax Robinson -> <<That to!>>

TireanBell -> @::STSF_KBear :: I am a member of the secience counile

TireanBell -> (grr can't type)

LtCdrJohnson -> +Jax+ I understand Ma'am, I made a stupid remark, I wasn't actually suggesting that we do something illicit...I was thinking of our options outloud and I realize that isn't a viable option, we're not Section 31

August Jax Robinson -> <<And Husband fix my spelling mistakes quicker next time;) >>

Jameson Bardolph -> ((::grins::))

LtCmdrRobinson -> <<yes ma'am>>

LtCdrJohnson -> +Jay+ And I apologize if I embarassed you...next time I'll comm you before coming up...I guess I was a bit overwhelmed by the relevaltion about the spiritual beliefs of this species

STSF_KBear -> @ Mr Bell Right now you are a member of the Crew of the USS Republic, If you were worried what the Vulcan high counsel would say, you should have thought about that sooner.

STSF_KBear -> @::not happy::

Joy -> :: Listening in on the Admiral's approach ::

STSF_BluRox -> @+Com+ Portalis Control:: This is Portalis Control. This is acceptable and we appreciate your proper handling of this situation. We will meet with you at the main custom's inport center in 1 hour. Please do not use your beaming device, we would prefer if you will arrive by a shuttle

August Jax Robinson -> ::Stands up and looks over Will shoulder at his console:: (w) I need a lot of alcohol tonight

STSF_BluRox -> and that you bring no more than 2 people with you for this

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::wondering if his new security officers are going to be killed soon. Already has the replacement request forms on his desk::

LtCmdrRobinson -> No, you don't. You need to cut back. Some.

Jameson Bardolph -> ((you'd like that, wouldn't you, Commander? :P ))

August Jax Robinson -> Gallons

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @::finishes situps. Sort of just lies back on the floor and closes eyes::

STSF_BluRox -> +com+ Very well Portalis contorl. I accept your offer to discuss this with me, and I do wish that we are able to solve this to an amicable solution. I will arrive within the hour.

STSF_BluRox -> Blurox out

Ayumu Kasuga -> @Good workout? I feel tired just watching\

Joy -> Very well, Admiral.

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @::breathes a little more heavily:: Had to work off this...'food'...somehow.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::pauses in his pacing and taps his fist gently against the door, listening to the dull thud of the metal::

Fiona Weber -> ::smirks, wondering if Joy has the slightest idea what a mess she's in for::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Promise not to shoot anything, Mr Robinson?

STSF_BluRox -> Rian, I would like to have you with me on this mission....My concern however is this..

STSF_BluRox -> Do we want all 3 of our main command staff off the ship at the same time, with a group of peopel holding some of this group?

LtCmdrRobinson -> I wont shoot anything unless its absolutly necessary, ma'am.

Capt Rian Kwai -> It's okay, Admiral. I can hold down the fort here. Probably best I don't go. I might trottle one of those on the planet below.

LtCdrJohnson -> ::finishes up one of his reports::

Ayumu Kasuga -> @::nods:: If you can call it that

Capt Rian Kwai -> Thank you Will. ::grins;: Wait until you're in the shuttle before you shoot our people, please?

STSF_BluRox -> I was thinking of you , so that I didnt do the same

LtCdrJohnson -> ::puts it on Jax's desk and grabs a padd from the "To Repair" pile and takes a look::

Capt Rian Kwai -> (throttle)

STSF_KBear -> @What are you thinking about Jameson?

STSF_BluRox -> Honestly, you have a more level head than I, I was thinking of sending you and will together, but I have a feeling as I just spoke with them, that anything less might be considered an insult

Jameson Bardolph -> @::dryly:: That I should have grabbed another drink while I had the chance, back at the bar.

Fiona Weber -> ::almost snorts aloud at the suggestion of sending the trigger-happy one to fix a diplomatic mess::

STSF_BluRox -> Very well..Joy, Will, you are with me. We will take one of the shuttles.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::glances back at Kawalas:: Also, more vaguely, that it would be nice to be able to figure out where the lock is in this door, and break it. But I suppose that wouldn't improve our chances, eh?

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @:: Eh. We might be able to use it to cut through the bars... ::smiles::

August Jax Robinson -> ::Sighs::

LtCdrJohnson -> ::heads for Ten Forward noticing that some of the replicators have been down::

Ayumu Kasuga -> @Heh

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to Rian:: Once we have departed and have headed towards the planet, I want you to slowly start moving the ship out of the range of those orbital defense platforms

Joy -> :: Nods, and moves with the Admiral ::

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::nods at the Admiral::

Capt Rian Kwai -> Oh, one piece of advice and don't say "no comment" to the press. It's better to express our sympathies than to sound kinda like we don't care about what happen. We might look better...a smudge.

STSF_BluRox -> <at least none of them have started to sing yet!>

STSF_KBear -> @ No I dont think it would

Lt. Jg. Hawke -> @ ::thinks: Stupid. Stupid joke::

STSF_BluRox -> Oh? something I missed?

Capt Rian Kwai -> Aye sir. Fly casual out of range. Gotcha. ::nods::

STSF_BluRox -> Perhaps it would be best if you go

STSF_KBear -> @ We are going to have to do this the diplomatic wa ad wait for others from the ship to come get us.

Jameson Bardolph -> @::grunts:: Waiting's no fun.

Capt Rian Kwai -> There's a loop of Kawalas's non-interview on the news media. Joy can fill you in.

Fiona Weber -> ::finally giggles a trifle::

Jameson Bardolph -> @No chance we can just cut a deal? ::has seen more than one jail term bypassed this way in trading circles::

STSF_BluRox -> ::turns to Fiona:: You might want to have a few stasis units or body bags ready for when we return

Joy -> Just don't give an impression that the ship is leaving the system, I think. They were rather direct in ordering us not to.

STSF_BluRox -> <2 minute warning>

Fiona Weber -> Yes, Sir. ::dryly:: How many would you recommend?

August Jax Robinson -> ::looks around the bridge:::

STSF_BluRox -> Right...just...slowly move it further out..

Capt Rian Kwai -> Certainly. ::nods to Joy:: I think I know what settings to use to get us just out of range but enough to still be in the system

STSF_KBear -> @ Im afraid not this time.

STSF_BluRox -> ::Turns back to Fiona:: I would suggest....how many are being held...::thinks about what the young engineer said too:: And add one

Jameson Bardolph -> @::grimaces and starts pacing again::

Fiona Weber -> Aye, Admiral. I'll even have some pre-made nametags.

STSF_BluRox -> @ Landry. Well..it seems someone up there is worried about you
