Hello there... I just want to start this post by sayaing....

WOW!

I've gotten close to 200 mails today, between here, NERPS, and a Star Wars
RPG mail list... amazing... traffic has picked up considerably, and for
once it wasn't because I was posting a million snf one messages...:)

Well, not that I'm complaining, I love E-mail... This is just the first
time I've seen this list so busy, and well... I'm stunned...:)

Ok, on to SR... Just wanted to fill you in on the next chapter of insanity
from our heroes Bull and Johnny, and their wonderful exploits in Chicago.
They were joined by Codis, a former street munchkin who is now possesed by
something and may be turning into a bug, and Richard, a bodyguard fro
hire... Codis and Richard are on here somewhere... Say hi guys...:)

Well, I believe a couple weeks ago I mentioned their last foray in, when
they got to fight a force 30 Wasp Queen (!!), and we only (barely) survived
by dropping the Ares building on it and running like a scared puppy. We had
gone in there to rescue Doc Somebody, one of the people listed to be posted
in D's Will, as well as attempt to capture a bug spirit, if possible, and we
had teamed up with a group of Mantis's (Becky, Johnny's former wife is their
leader) as well as the ghouls...

Well, after we rescued the Doc, a couple of his assistants, as well as a
large piece of machinery that was why D wanted him rescued (and it even went
Ping), plus managed to capture a bug using a combination FAB filled net (not
pure fab, but a net filled with it, I don't want to stir up that argument,
let's just call it house ruling) as well as a sleep spell. Whew, I was
ready to get out of the windy city for good...

But Johnny wasn't finished yet... He's had one encounter with Mr. Darke,
and he's scared... So he's been looking for all the help he can get against
him and the horrors, and he's turning to several of the other Bug Hives...
Firefly and Dragonfly are listed as two of the most neutral hives, so he
turned their... After what we managed to accomplish with the wasp hive
(destroyed it totally, except for the queen), they were somewhat frightened
of us, especially as they are weaker bugs in general. Johnny spoke to the
queens and managed to get an uneasy alliance between them, the mantid, and us...

Wow...

plus when we went to DC to stake our claim on the rewards from the will, we
ran into most of the personalities from the world. Harley, Ania (from
Worlds without end), Davier, Anne Penchyk and Lofwyr were all part of the
council running the Draco Foundation, we met Stryper, and Damien Knight
wants to send me into space to check out some of his computer systems on his
new space station, from a hackers point of view... Whew... Very eventful
game session...

I can't believe he's letting us get away with half of what we are, and even
more I dread the consequences of our (mostly Johnny's) actions, especially
concerning the bugs...

Bull's pretty much stunned by these events, especially the bug stuff, and is
oing with the flow at the moment, as their's nothing else to do...

It's getting straner by the minute, chummers, and I think we're REALLy
hitting teh big league... and that's not necesarrily a good thing...

Well, I'm just rambling on now, so I'll see ya later...:)
