Thank you! And thanks for sorting out the name:smile:
I’m an icicle now but we met the neighbors and couldn’t stop chatting over the fence. we are nearing the end of the 5th month of lockdown (no end in sight due to catastrophic vaccination coordination), and I’m basically a chatterbox whenever we see someone we know while outside.
You‘re so welcome ... you‘re not alone, our next lockdown takes place again ... so good to have tPF.

“Didn’t bother to look back when I left him with his friends.”

“Sit down. The covert is looking to augment its fleet. We’ve exciting rotational values to review.”

“Marched straight into the Krayt room without a wave.”

“Do we add another K28 gunship, or do we go for the K25 light bomber outfitted with kyber.”

“Oh. You are paying attention.”

“It may surprise you but I listen to every word you say...and don’t say.”

“Look, he was probably too excited and overwhelmed by this new experience. His first night away with his friends...”

“...and he’s only on the opposite section of the covert, not too far.”

“Far enough that I can’t detect his little snores.”

“Hah - dank farrik! Do you want me to tuck you in later?”

“There she is, New Guy. Who better to guide than your highly exceptional cousin?”

“Why am I here? And why am I still New Guy? She’s newer than me.”

“I’m highly exceptional.”

“Look around, cousin. Just as your armor and weaponry became a part of you...so will this article.”

“You’re at a major turning point if you plan to stay the course, New Guy.”

“Why can’t I stay the course without having to do this?”

8CD6108C-D96E-4A19-81F6-D1377EC30FD4.jpeg
“It was daunting but not impossible for me, New Guy. I understood the need and the importance. Simply landed at H-MParsec and stated: ‘Pardon me, vendor, can you assist?”

“Poor man, your dad. At the mercy of the vendor. Likely they stripped him of all his credits.”

“Why can’t I just borrow your carrier? The child has formed an attachment to it and will be comfortable in it while under my watch.”

“Maybe because it’s my carrier, my ‘a la carte’ article as the vendor indicated. Maybe I, too, have an attachment to it.”

C39B1250-08A5-47BF-8FEE-3B078C1E2036.jpeg
“I say again, cousin: look around. You’ve the opportunity to select your own a la carte carrier directly from the source. Surely something here will become a part of you.”

“Yeah, okay, pal. The kid’s excited to try a new carrier.”

“Dank...huh. Would the third or fourth pattern from the right clash with my armor?”

“I’ll go first. Without being specific, I used a spear belonging to one of you to fish something out of raw sewage.”

“I chose not to refuel the K28 gunship after flying to the Anoat System. Just because.”

“I added ‘spice’ to the chowder served two days ago.”

86F03A2C-986A-4BB4-89B5-CEB6B1499D96.jpeg
“That spice caused me to expel certain contents into the Egg.”

“Does your cousin know that?”

“Not all of us can be respectable like you, ‘Dad’.”

“He’s not that respectable. I can tell you stories past...and present.”

“These are not the confessions I’m after. You all do not let me forget my choice of the covert’s ground treatment. I called you here to get your opinions on this filtration system, characteristics of which directly affect your sectors of the covert.”

“Huh.”

“Oh.”

“Sssshhhh...”
