Figured I'd better say something now, before things fly any further off the handle than they already have. (Note: I know it's a lot worse in some of the general mailing lists. That doesn't mean it hasn't been bad here.) Chris is physically OK right now, which is about all I can say about that situation at the moment until some other things happen. There's a "town hall" meeting scheduled here that I've been basically told to be at, I'll be letting you guys know how that shakes out.
We did get some of our schedule here pretty disrupted from the evacuation - I'll admit that it was pretty much an overreaction on my part. It's not insurmountable - some shipments might be a day or so late - but I know some people are still going to be annoyed.
I'll also admit that... I'd say I lost my temper, but that would have required me to have been considerably less angry than I was right after Chris received "payment" for services rendered trying to do something right. I did not need to know that could pop me "out the other side" with the gender thing, but there you go. I've had to spend some time calming down, hence why it's taken me all this time to respond. Getting Chris from out from behind the media cordon (damned papparazzi and all) that's around the medical center helped with that.
I'm going to try my damndest to let Reilly and Company figure out on their own what to do with our new guests. Last I knew, The Professor was still utterly 'sleep through a space station exploding around him' unconscious. Glear, I haven't asked about directly, her presence is, honestly, going to be a bit of sore point for some of us here for a while. Whatever gets decided, I'm pretty sure it's not going to be enough for some of those 'Daneside that consider them - or anyone biomodded and mad - to be a threat to the stability of the 'verse. It's a thorny political issue that is, quite frankly, a little above my pay grade right now. But that's why Malcolm's here, this is stuff that's in his wheelhouse.
Again, more information when I feel I can get it out to you. I need to make sure all of us here in the Valley are on the same page before I go spreading information, so that I don't accidentally spread any MISinformation. We definitely don't need any of that right now.
