Sir, this "fungus" is impassable. We are wasting our time.

Continue the attempt. I want that supply pod!

Call the CEO, some more worms have been sighted.

He doesn't like to be waked unless there is serious danger. Are they coming this way?

Unclear. They are on the extreme edge of our sensors. Some of our scouts are damaged and running back to safety.

The board isn't going to like this. How can we increase sales with the threat of those bloody worms in everyone's minds.

Maybe we should consider an increase in weapons manufacturing and advertising. We're bound to see an increase there.

Very well. I'll inform the CEO after his morning manicure.

2105 to Black Sunrise.

Sergent James Terrenian eased his rover into the garage at Sparta Command.
The mechanic walked over to the vehicle. "Well, let's see what we have here." He began to open the hood... and experienced a feeling of dread. "Whoah!" he shouted, as he let the hood slam down and jumped back.

"It must be what I thought," the sergent commented.

The mechanic swore. "Why didn't you warn me?!"

"Well, I wasn't sure. We were attacked by the mindworm boil out on the road. I thought we'd toasted them all, but then the engine started acting funny. Thought I'd take it in."

"Yeah yeah, more likely, wanted to put one over on a civilian." He sighed, then shouted. "Benny! Get the worm toxin! We've got a live one down here!"

"grand beatch bella hella? can i have a word?"

"sure, dania. what's up?"

"well... i don't know. it just seems kind of slow around here. too quiet. is there anything wrong?"

the leader of the gaians smiled. "with peace? not a thing. hey, relax, dania. everything's ok." she reached her hand in her pocket and pulled out a little plastic baggie filled with bright pink stuff. dania's eyes widened.

"is that the new strain?"

"yup. the growers are calling it 'chiron pink'. would you care for a sample?"

dania grinned. "sounds good to me."

they went over to the window and sat down in plush beanbag-style chairs. the land below stretched before them, aweing them both with its beauty and wide open spaces. they were even more awed after a couple hits of the pink.

[Bella Hella]

is the order somehow messed up or are people not posting the turns?

2106 to Bella Hella

Sir. We have discovered why the Fungus was so impassable. Some form of native life infested it.

Indeed?

Sir, it attacked our patrol. Fortunately the flamethrowers proved very useful.

Hmmmm. I am disturbed. Flamethrowers were banned at the Geneva Convention. Issue orders to discontinue their use. We will simply have to find another way to address this situation, should it arise again.

[Ironwood]

Yup, that sounds like the gun control people. Weapons come in handy for preserving ones life, and they complain about the weapons used.

dania and bella sat in silence for a while, occasionally passing the pink stuff back and forth. before they realized it, another year had gone by.

Between you and Bella Hella, I am becoming very confident of my ability to dominate this game. Not really, but you guys don't exactly give of an air of competance.

Uh, oh yeah. Turn sent to Black Sunrise... several hours ago.

2107-Bella Hella

To say this year was boring does not begin to state it.
To say that we watched Mistress Cleo reruns states it pretty clearly.

MINDWORM CAPTURED!!!

how's THAT for an air of competence???

---

dania and bella burst into snorts of laughter as the captured mindworm was brought in.

"funny lookin' lil thang, isn't he?" said bella. she and dania exchanged a glance and started cracking up again.

[arborman]

Air of competence hey? Well, we'll see about that. I'll have you know that my scout patrol has almost escaped the fungus. Whaddaya think of that? Huh?

[Ironwood]

Excelent. I'm playing with people who have a sense of humor. That is good.
