>>>>>[ Guys, I'm in over my head here...things have gotten too intense! I
almost was cornered by one of ol' M's death-frames...thought it was curtains
for me, and then I hear the "Light Cavalry Overture", and then Doom swoops in,
like a fraggin' Angel of Death, and BLASTS the drek outta it. I can't offer
anything more, so I'm going to wait outside to help those who need it.

>>>>>[ This battle harkens to the cavalry attacks of old...
Charge, clash, rush past, regroup, and charge again...
Although this is: close distance, launch attack, pull away, reconfigure,
and charge again. It reminds me of the heady days of Seydlitz, Zeiten, and
Frederick the Great.

I can only hope that we are managing to tire MONICA to an extent
closely matching the degree to which she is succeeding in exhausting us...
I, for one, am quite fatigued. However, we must hold fast, meine Kamaraden!
I shall not rest until this vile threat to the Matrix, indeed to all of us, is
eliminated, or else I die whilst trying...

"...Ne'er shall I be dispairing,
Like them I shall be daring
Be dark the day, be it of sunshine bright,
I am a Prussian, that is my delight.
Old Prussia mine, Old Prussia Mine,
My Fatherland, -- long may it live! Hurrah!" ]<<<<<

National Anthem. Tell me, does he always talk like that? ]<<<<<

succeed.]<<<<<
