Mike is on the board. Sorry for the time delay, finals week was occurring. Soon I'll be in Colorado slaughtering goats...Will work never cease for the Farmer Student Biker Guy?!

Anyway, it's short, but that's dialogue for you, right? Everyone's posts have been great. Thoroughly enjoying this story. 

Mike's status : Currently enjoying the company of two lovely ladies down in the hangar. Lopez and Sczruba are going over contingency plans, Decker is on patrol on the port side of the ship, while Sullivan is swinging by the Cryo-Bay. All are armed for basic patrol, and capable of responding should a [i]thing[/i] happen.
