Alright, I'll bite. I haven't read the cast listing in years. How
did you character die twice, and while you are explaining that, would
you please explain how you are currently alive?

I'm really curious.

Mike

>>>>>[AE Packer. I appreciate your comments, and understand what you are
saying, but I have been dead twice already. And I cannot be part of the
problem, I don't taste too good. Again, do not worry. It is important
that the people I deal are aware that they have yet again failed, and
that I am still on their case. It may seem strange to you, but I _want_
them to come to me. I have a gift for them. The gift of death.]<<<<<

:) I little bit of magic :)

You know what they say about curiosity don't you... it kills cats <grin>

Well, it's really not particularly dramatic at all, he lost his family
and died emotionally... He has been betrayed in the past, and died
morally, He recently, received fatal injuries, and was to all intents
and purposes, dead or at least dying... In his own mind he had died...

Thanks to the wonders of magic, and modern medicine his life was
sustained long enough for a medical team to replace the damaged organs
and restore him to *life*... It's Ok, he didn't _really_ die twice,
DA's a little unbalanced at the moment, heavy drugs to facilitate
healing and prevent rejection of the newly implanted organs, painkillers
and utter boredom in an army field hospital, and he's got a bit of a
personal thing going with a couple of the bad guys <grin>

Aside from which he occassionally travels through foreign countries as a
preacher/missionary, bringing enlightenment to the heathen natives...
It saves a lot of silly questions at borders, so he's just winding
himself up to the part.

Also, rather mistakenly, he believes that by drawing the attention of
his enemies upon himself, he will distract them from their present
purpose of tracking and killing the IF group.

Sorry if the logic was a bit obscure on the list, but I like to keep
people guessing as to what the hell I'm doing now. :)

Also, like me I guess, he's a tad melodramatic <grin>

Seriously though, thank you for explaining.

I think it was metaphorical rather than actual....
(He NEARLY died this week, and I assume he's been at deaths door before...)

Unless he dies inside when a loved one bit the big one....
(Like with Garibaldi in Babylon 5.....)
