Meine Kamaraden:

Regarding this recent surprise regarding der guter Doktor...it was

1) Partially in an attempt to explain both his and Hangtime (& Co.)'s
conspicuous absence for the last several weeks. I, similar to many others
have had pressing academic concerns...limiting my participation to
ShadowRN exclusively.

2) Inspiration was provided by a ShadowRun which I am involved in at present.
The Group is, as I speak, attempting to exonerate him...if they prove
successful, he lives.

As Jack Hack indicated, forceful extraction is not a viable option, given the
volatile situation. Presently, the entire case is quite a private affair, as
neither side is willing to endure public scrutiny in the matter.

Emotional support is graciously accepted...I appreciate the outpouring of
concern by the other ShadowLand denizens. As to slightly more dynamic
assistance: Weilnachtsferien shall force me away from the University at the
conclusion of this week, obviously I shall not be present for the management
of this plotline. That being the case, I do not see an acceptable method by
which the others may "lend a hand."

What this shall essentially serve as is a good reason for why my characters
shall remain quiet over the coming Holidays...which leaves two possibilities
upon my return (in the area of January 12) that I manage a "Save Doom"
sub-plot, or merely have Doom relate the tale of his captivity and release.

Either is likely at the moment. That aside, I shall be available until
Friday or Saturday at the latest.
