I've probably mentioned this before, but I alternate between WoW and CoH/CoV. When I have a bit of "burn-out" on one, I play the other. Well,
been playing LOTS of CoH of late, and I am feeling that burnout, just a bit. Going over to WoW to do something different for awhile. Not to worry, I'll
still be around, just not quite as much. I'll keep up with the Task Force announcements and try my best to be available where I can.

Well, sort of... The Inquirer: Uwe Boll denied keys to Azeroth

His quote near the end of the article speaks volumes, doesn't it?

Numina's TF requires only 4 people, level 34-38. But you probably want more because of the gratuitous hunting and the monster at the end, Juassik. There
are 23 missions, which sounds awful, but 16 of them are Defeat X missions taking you on a grand tour of Paragon City. Assuming of course, you go to all of
them. Send everyone to a different zone to look for targets in advance, and they fly by.

Red Tomax lists them in this order: Perez, Atlas, Steel, Galaxy, Kings, Skyway, Faultline, Brickstown, Crey's Folly, Terra Volta, Independence Port,
Boomtown, Talos, Dark Astoria, Founders' Falls, Eden. I don't know if the order is randomized or not. Jurassik is found in the last mission, indoors in
everyone's least favorite natural cave map. At least it's not Oranbega. He's Monster tough, not Giant Monster tough, but it can be hairy if he
attacks before you've cleared some breathing room, and he will try to hit you with a Buick on a stick.

This is the other of the original six TFs that I've already done with Badb, so I'll probably bring Faraday since she just hit 35 (Power Sink, yay!)

I have the Sewer Trial mission on Roy, and I believe Sofaspud has it on Emerald, so we've got the Key to get into the sewer after the Hydra.

Bob, this one's for you, can you commit to a time this weekend to do the sewer trial?

Needed are a minimum of two 40s (36-40), and at least 4 50s.

This is probably a Team Two (7-8pm PST) activity. I have no thoughts or suggestions for Team One (feeling a bit toasty, to be honest - Lady Grey x2 in one day
is a killer)

I recall a few folks wondered where I got my copy of the "egg song", and my reply was that I bought the CDs when they were available.

Well... http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=PCCG-560]they're available again. 3000 yen for both. (Which is a bit less than what I paid for them individually... but I've had them for almost a decade, so I don't mind.)

For that matter, http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/series_list.ht ... A&sid=1160]almost all the old Ah Megamisama CDs are available again. You'd think it was a 20th anniversarry, or something.

(CDJapan won't ship CDs and figures in the same box, so I don't know whether I should mention http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_de ... 0000023828]this pre-order as well... Oops, too late.)

This is the first scene and a half of 4-5 scene storylet I'm working on. And since I promised I would post something soonish I decided to post this.

Poor Robert is suffering from apendicitis, this might need more of an intro I'm not sure. As always feedback welcome, I'll try to post at least once a
week until this is finished.

The Asteroid Belt, December 19'th, 2008

"In space no one can hear you scream." That thought drifted though Commodore Robert Wesley's mind as he tried once more to contact anyone.
"Mayday, Mayday. This is the U.S.S. Lexington, we have a medical emergency. If anyone is out there please respond." cried his hoarse voice into the
slightly sparking and heavily modded car radio. The U.S.S. Lexington, a modified 1994 Honda Civic, had been tumbling through space for almost two days now
after it lost and engine nacelle and caved in it's engine block in a freak collision with an asteroid.

"If I get out of this I'm going to get a bigger car." Silently vowed Robert to himself, "One with a doctor on board." He finished, the
pain and fever making it hard to concentrate. Lifting the radio once more he again croaked his mayday. However this time he got more of a response than just
the sparking of the radio.

"Bzzt, Thi...s the Sol crrrk ...nka. We are fssst ... there soon." The radio buzzed out before giving up in a shower of sparks and going dark. Robert
however sighed in relief before turning into a hiss of pain, help was on the way. For some reason though he felt as if he should have recognized the name of
the ship, but between the exhaustion and the fever he finally fell into an uneasy slumber.

^_^

Robert jerked awake from a nightmare in a well lit room staring up at a mechanical nightmare that might have started it's life as part of a dentist chair
but that had since more tools grafted to it than found in most workshops. It reminded Robert uncomfortably of the medical probe often used in alien abduction
movies, albeit with a far wider variety of tools including not just scalpels and needles but also wrenches, screwdrivers, and the usual assortment of
unrecognizable odds and ends.

"Ah good the patient is awake Professor." Came the voice from the left letting Robert overcome his fear induced paralysis only to find he had been
strapped down. However turning his head was enough to confirm his fears, he immediately recognized the lanky figure striding towards him.

"The Bane of Paris, the Scourge of Europe, the Enemy of All Who Live," at this point Roberts babbling got interrupted by an ominous clash of
lightning and thunder behind the Professor, before he could finish in a small voice "the Professor."
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
