"Dis! Any more intel on how the prototpye of the "First Universal Cybernetic-Kinetic Ultra-Micro Programmer" got stolen right from under our bloody noses?"

*Neg, Mal. We're not even completely sure who the "lightfingers" were, but we're guessing it may have been commissioned by those four old "buddies" of your ancestor Hagbard. Wonder what the A.I.S.B. calls themselves this time around? I still call em scheisskopfs!*

"Machts nicht, Dis. I have good news and bad news. The replacement F.U.C.K.U.P. unit has been installed aboard the new flagship, and is operating perfectly. I just got off the horn with Episky Sylvia, and here's the bad news: She ran the numbers, twice, and the box computes a .87 probability of an Eschaton event within the next three months!"

*Holy Mother of Chaos, Mal! That doesn't give us much time atall, atall!*

"Five tons of Flax, Dis. Sylvia has issued new orders, priority Aleph. Run diagnostic on all the old transponders. I know a lot of then have been "taken out", or need repair. Re-active the Net. And then put out the call. Hiding under a rock is no longer an option. It's time to 'be the rock'!"

*Gonna take more than Laughing Goddess Pies and flyin' nekkid this time, Malsy. But Sylvie's the boss. I'm on it. We'll get it tweaked and re-secured before you can say Rub-a-dub-dub! Dis out.*

"Four worms and a grub, my friend. We ride again! Mal out."
