hey alec. did you notice that up in the crowsnest i had a little visit from a moderator. And I'm to hard-headed to just accept it and

Story angle.. well, I guess I'm so overloaded now I wouldn't be a good host. Thing is, in my other freeform story, I've been bringing over parallel versions of me, and some of them are downright evil.

Anyway, on to the Bridge.
