Then I won't mention that there's one a block from my office and another about to open three blocks from my house.

Oops.

I'll take the steak burrito bowl with mild salsa and cheese, por favor!

Oh, about the split in plotlines. I figure I can run a solo adventure to keep the game going over the summer. I'm still going to finish up the Venice mission complete with a shootout at the Villa Mansion.

Ah! I'm being nursed by Worf's adoptive father!

So, yeah.

I was wondering how long it would take you to recognize him. When I was trying to conceptualize Fyodor, I tried to think of a burly Russian guy. Worf's adoptive father came to mind. Granted, he's Austrian but played a convincing Russkie in ST:NG.

Actually, I flickered for about fifteen minutes, thinking alternatively "But it *is* that guy..." and "Naaah..."

Thank god for IMDb.

*whimper* chicken burrito, extra rice, no beans.

Dang...I forgot the beans and extra rice.

Ok.

Steak Burrito Bowl
Extra Rice
Black Beans
Mild Salsa
Cheese

Goddamn, people.

We've tripped Punkey's rabid-anti-Trek trigger - just in case anybody's wondering where that came from.

Gatac

Indeed, I was.

I was merely pointing out the fact that you were nitpicking over an obscure reference from a Star Trek episode. I personally don't like Star Trek, but I think it's kind of funny that you guys were nitpicking about such a minor reference.

Any updates on when the hiatus will be over?

Ummmmmmmm....

My short answer is: "I have no idea."

My long answer is: Probably the end of June with the expected "Hooray for the USA" July 4th weekend break. I read a few good books whilst away in the tropics and have a couple of NPC/plot ideas brewing. One revolves around a diabolical ex-agent turned gourmet chef and the other is about debauchery and gunplay centered around Sin City.

Yes, that does mean Vegas will again be the centerpiece for the next volume of SNS. :cheesy:

Dust off your sequined jumpsuits and break out the gold-rimmed sunglasses.

Sounds fascinating. How many BP for a Mr. T-size BLING-BLING package?

At least 30BP.

Expect an update to the "Agent Spiner" thread in the next day or so.

But I have Filthy Rich...that one should be errated to reduce costs of luxury items, methinks.

Good news on the storyline. *rubs hands*

I'm breaking off the current storyline into two different arcs. With any luck, everyone will meet up againg by the end of the adventure(s).

I say Kenji goes to the front seat of the Mercedes, and we call HQ and ask whether he goes to a public hospital or an Agency doctor. We can caravan there, and then dispose of the Mercedes.

Oh yeah, we ought to call some Cleaners to help sweep our street battle under the rug.

Let me tell you of this vision I had on the way home from university.

I saw a vast, snowy landscape. I saw Fyodor outside of his house, being threatened by a few goons with pistols. Then I heard a cocking sound, and saw Jess in the doorway, packing an old AK-47 and shouting obscenities in Russian.

Am I clairvoyant or very, very far off?

Something close to that, but picture the entire firefight taking place at night, during a fierce Siberian snowstorm.

Sorry for the lack of updates, work finally figured out I'm back from my vacation.

*rubs hands*

The wait is killing me, but I'll die happy.
