That does sound like a good idea.  I still want to find a way to incorporate your [i]Conglomerate[/i] idea into the story, since I see them as the bigger threat that ties all the events together.  Plus the workshop is about to be raided by Milicor mercs, so having a defense system blow them away would be ace.  Not so much for Maggie and Nina though.

Oh c'mon it's not...actually, yeah that is bad. O_o

Oh and no worries.  I know how hellish and unforgiving life can be sometimes.  Take all the time you need. ^_^
